The houses are bigger, the clothes are cheaper and there are more trees in town. These are just some of the things exchange students from
And Monday, after their first day of classes at
On Monday night at City Hall, the City of
It's the second time in the Sister Cities' emerging exchange program that Burlington's sister city in South Korea has sent students to live with host families in Alamance County, after last year's success. After only one full day of ESL classes and courses alongside BCA students, the young travelers are already ahead of the curve.
Marjorie McNamara, who's teaching the ESL class at BCA, evaluated the students' English on Monday and said, "Today was their first day and I'm cranking it up because it was too easy. … They're top students."
The South Korean students, ranging in age from 15 to 17, will attend 10 days of ESL, math, science, music and drama courses at BCA, while staying with host families through Jan. 18.
While here, Sister Cities will take the students to several of the area's higher learning facilities and programs, including N.C.
"Elon (University) wanted more time this year," said Beth Powell, Sister Cities treasurer. Fellow Sister Cities member Master Sang-Ho Lee, who helped organize the exchange trip, said the university has expressed interest in attracting the young
Powell said the students will also visit the Alamance Battleground historical site, the International Civil Rights Museum in
But the learning process isn't limited to the exchange students. While the 20 high school students are immersed in part of American culture, the adults and children who host them have a rare two-week glimpse into South Korean culture.
Eight-year-old Emma Brown has already learned how to write her name in Korean, thanks to Nam Ha Young, 17, and Han Ji Won, 16.
The students also told Emma and her sister, Gracie, 11, that age is calculated differently in
"We're learning lots of cultural things like that," said Ashleigh Brown, Gracie and Emma's mother. She said it's the second time her family has hosted students from
That continued relationship with last year's exchange students meant Ashleigh Brown had a handful of CDs with Korean music to play for Young and Won, to help ease them into their new surroundings.
Those "people to people" interactions is what continues to strengthen the global connection originally intended by President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he established Sister Cities International in 1956, said Powell.
After two weeks learning about another country's language, education and culture, Powell said it becomes clear that everyone, regardless of country, has similar desires like a solid education for the next generation, good infrastructure and positive working conditions.
"We're different," she said. "But on a certain level, we're all the same."

The award-winning pumpkin room comes in two different varieties: either a complete mini-room that can be installed in just about any office, or partitions comprised of just two of the polycarbonate panels wrapped around steel. The entire structure is illuminated from the inside – creating a glowing lightbox effect.
Completely modular and easy to transport, this particular pumpkin room was installed on the first floor of edg Creatives' offices in Beijing, China. A minimalist intervention that completely (but not magically) transforms the ambience of the entire office space, the pumpkin room has understandably received a variety of innovation awards.

The Ethics Commission is the guardian of the ethical principles of the Olympic Movement. These principles are set out in the Code of Ethics.
The Ethics Commission was created in 1999 by the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in order to safeguard the ethical principles of the Olympic Movement. These principles are set out in the Code of Ethics.
This independent Commission is made up of nine members including a majority of personalities who are not part of the Olympic Movement.
The Ethics Commission has three functions:
The Commission is located in the Villa du Centenaire, in Lausanne. It meets at least twice a year, and more frequently if the urgency of the files demands it.
To whom do the Code of Ethics and Implementing Provisions apply?
The Code of Ethics and all the Implementing Provisions must be respected by the Olympic parties at all times and in all circumstances.
• the IOC, its members and administration;• the cities that wish to organise the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games;• the National Olympic Committees (NOCs);• the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games;• during the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games, all participants, in particular the athletes and their entourage, the NOCs and International Federations' (IFs) delegations, the referees, the judges, etc.
The Ethics Commission cannot refer cases to itself, but it can inform the IOC President of the existence of a situation of which it has knowledge, more particularly of complaints received from any person concerned by a breach of the rules of Olympic ethics.
When a case is referred to the Ethics Commission by the IOC President, it prepares the file, possibly under the responsibility of a rapporteur. It can hear any person necessary to understand the situation. The right to be heard of the person or organisation implicated is always respected.
The Ethics Commission can propose any useful measure, such as recalling the rules. It can also recommend a sanction - those defined by Rule 59 of the Olympic Charter - from a warning to expulsion or the withdrawal of an Olympic Games accreditation. It can also recommend the sanction published in Rules 16.3.8. of the Olympic Charter.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A Bridge City man has died some two weeks after he was shot in the head in a drug deal in north Beaumont.
In a press release, police identified Nicholas Rosen, 22, as the deceased, saying he died April 18 as a result of a gunshot wound to the back of the head suffered on April 4.
Police said Rosen was a passenger in a Nissan sedan buying drugs in the 10000 block of Gage Street when, shortly after completion of the drug deal, an unknown suspect opened fire into the back of the vehicle, striking Rosen.

SPACE pirate and alien life forms could soon be seen zooming around the Lake District – thanks to a new million dollar movie.
Old Hutton writer and director Rick McLeod has teamed up with a group of American producers to make a science fiction film based on cult television series Firefly.
The US consortium, one of whom has done sound-tracks for Mr McLeod in the past, originally began filming experimental sequences in county – but then the idea turned into a feature-length film.
Although $1 million is a relatively small budget for a movie, Mr McLeod said he was 'shocked' when the group gave the figure.
"Last year was a good one for us – we're still reeling from that – so when they approached me my first question was 'Are you serious?'
"It's not easy to make films in Cumbria, especially with the UK Film Council gone. When we had Leslie Grantham here, he was unpaid because he loved the script.
"It's great to know that our hard work is starting to pay off."
The film, called Lost Transmission, follows the lonely adventure of Blake, captain of a mining ship, with no-one but his computer to talk to after war breaks out on Earth. But he leaves the planet to find life on other worlds.
Filming is expected to start in early 2012, and will be split between Cumbria and America.
CGI effects are already being worked on by the studio, which created a castle in the middle of Windermere in a previous flick.
Before filming begins in earnest, Mr McLeod is shooting a short promotional video with action sequences in Old Hutton.
And he is looking for '23rd century pirates' to star as extras in a fight scene on Sunday, to be led by a trained fight choreographer.
"We're seeking punks, goths and heavy rockers. Long or short hair, tattoos and piercings are a bonus but not essential. The more outrageous the look the better," said Mr McLeod.
Filming will last for between two and three hours and anyone interested can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Participants are requested to send a head shot with their email.
Discussions with actors to play the role of Blake are still going on.
Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.
A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a 'restricted byway' follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
"The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road," said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
"We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."

The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon
The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon (Paperback)
Meet Paul Again . . . for the First Time
Continuing in the tradition of The Last Week and The First Christmas, world-renowned New Testament scholars Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan use the best of biblical and historical scholarship to expose the church's conspiracy to silence Jesus's most faithful disciple, the apostle Paul.
About the Author
MARCUS J. BORG is canon theologian at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon, and Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture, emeritus, at Oregon State University. A Fellow of the Jesus Seminar, Borg has been national chair of the Historical Jesus section of the Society of Biblical Literature and is the author of the bestselling books Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, The Heart of Christianity, Jesus, and Speaking Christian. Visit Borg online at www.marcusjborg.com.
Praise for The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church's Conservative Icon…
"A refreshing and heartening exculpation of a still routinely maligned figure of the first importance to culture and civilization."
-Booklist (starred review)
"Paul is one of the most controversial figures in Christian history—and one of the most misunderstood. . . . Many will be thrilled with this fresh, erudite portrait of the man."
-Publishers Weekly
"In this scholarly and engaging account . . . Borg and Crossan successfully argue that we must separate the genuine writings of the apostle from the writings attributed to him . . . This well-researched and highly readable account is recommended for all students of Paul [and] interested lay readers.""

Ger Mandolin Orchestra
AVNER YONAI, founder
MIKE MARSHALL, musical director
Mandolin orchestras were once the most popular form of community music making in Jewish life. The mandolin — a strummed string instrument similar to a four stringed guitar — was once common across Jewish communities in Europe and immigrant communities in the United States. World War II destroyed most of the European communities where mandolin orchestras were popular. The Ger Mandolin Orchestra is a memorial project of reviving the Jewish Mandolin Orchestra that was active in Gora Kalwaria, Poland between 1920 to 1930. Most of its members died in the Holocaust.
When Avner Yonai searched to discover his family roots in Poland, he came across a picture of his family playing in a pre-WWII Jewish mandolin orchestra. The photograph inspired Yonai to create a contemporary version of this musical group as a memorial to his own family and the orchestra members who perished in the Holocaust. Under the direction of Grammy award winner Mike Marshall, the Ger Mandolin Orchestra was formed. This renowned group of international musicians features authentic instruments and scores, and authentically re-creates this once quintessential Jewish musical form.
This concert is the culmination of the Athenaeum's semester long series on Jewish renewal in Poland, supported with funding from several individuals and groups, including Hillel of The Claremont Colleges, and is a rare and wonderful musical experience not to be missed.
Encounter 2013
BRUCE FULTON, translator
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; PROGRAM 12:00 p.m.
Authors Kim In-suk and Kang Yong-suk and translator Bruce Fulton will appear at several American universities in November 2013 for a series of bilingual readings and discussions. The tour begins at Stanford University and also includes literary events at Claremont McKenna College, the University of Wisconsin, and Brigham Young University, and in New York City. During these visits the American reading public will have the opportunity to meet two of contemporary Korea's most prominent fiction writers, hear samples of their works read in Korean and in English translation, engage in a dialog with the writers, and purchase copies of the authors' works in translation.
Kim In-suk was born in 1963 in Seoul and studied journalism at Yonsei University. A published writer at the age of 19, she issued her first story collection, Bloodline, in 1983, and her first novel, Flowers of Fire, in 1985. She is the recipient of the 2003 Yi Sang Literature Prize for "Sea and Butterfly," (2003) and the 2005 Hanguk ilbo Literature Prize for The Long Road (2010), one of the very few Korean fictional works involving the Korean diasporic experience in Australia. Today, building on a three-decade career in letters, she is one of Korea's senior writers, but an author whose literary sensibility and wide-ranging world view belie her age. Her most recent works are the story collection So Long, Elena (2009), for which she received the 2009 Tongin Literature Prize; the historical novel Sohyon (2010); and the novel Could You Lose Your Mind? (2011), which conflates natural and human disaster. She is represented in English in Koreana; the novella The Long Road, the anthology Reading Korea: 12 Contemporary Stories (2008), and in an ASIA Bilingual Edition of her story "Stab" (2013).
Kang Yong-suk was born in 1966 in Ch'unch'on, Kangwon Province, and studied creative writing at the Seoul Institute of the Arts. Since her debut in 1998 she has issued half a dozen story collections and novels and garnered several literary awards, including the 2006 Hanguk ilbo Literature Prize for her first novel, Rina, and the 2011 Kim Yu-jong Literature Prize. In 2009 she took part in the University of Iowa International Writing Program. Her 2011 story collection The Night He Lifts Weights, honored with a Book-of-the-Year award from the Korean Library Association, is strongly colored by urban noir, the stories set in locales within and without Korea. She is represented in English translation in Azalea 4.
Bruce Fulton is the co-translator, with Ju-Chan Fulton, of numerous volumes of modern Korean fiction, including the award-winning women's anthologies Words of Farewell: Stories by Korean Women Writers (Seal Press, 1989) and Wayfarer: New Writing by Korean Women (Women in Translation, 1997), and with Marshall R. Pihl, Land of Exile: Contemporary Korean Fiction, rev. and exp. ed. (M.E. Sharpe, 2007). The Fultons' most recent translations are River of Fire: Stories by O Chonghui (Columbia University Press, 2012) and How in Heaven's Name: A Novel of World War II by Cho Chongnae (MerwinAsia 2012). The Fultons have received several awards and fellowships for their translations, including a National Endowment for the Arts Translation Fellowship, the first ever given for a translation from the Korean; and a residency at the Banff International Literary Translation Centre, the first ever awarded to translators from any Asian language. Bruce Fulton is the inaugural holder of the Young-Bin Min Chair in Korean Literature and Literary Translation, Department of Asian Studies, University of British Columbia.

Edward Snowden – Traitor or Hero? – Debating Privacy, Whistleblowing and National Security in the Context of NSA Surveillance Programs
Edward Snowden's massive leak of classified NSA documents continues to damage the credibility and reputation of the United States around the world. The initial headlines when Snowden first released these documents were harmful, but as journalists continue to sift through the data the situation has become increasingly embarrassing for the United States. Most recently, the leak exposed that the NSA was monitoring German Chancellor Angela Merkel's cellphone, and has apparently hacked into the fiber-optic cables for Yahoo's and Google's overseas servers enabling them to copy emails and other information.
The NSA claims that all information they collect is for the purpose of stopping terrorists at home and abroad, but many believe that Snowden's leak is evidence that the scope of their operation is excessive and unconstitutional. Depending on which side you believe, Snowden is either a traitor or a populist hero. In what is sure to be an enlightening evening, the award-winning Claremont Colleges Debate Union will be attacking this question from both sides.
North Korea and the World, a Complicated Relationship
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; PROGRAM 12:00 p.m.
North Korea is often portrayed in our media as the most isolated country on the planet, a peculiar leftover of the Cold War stuck in another time and disconnected from the rest of the world. This image is at best only partially true. The policy of the North Korean government, from the time of its founding in 1948 to the present day, has never been to keep the country totally cut off from the outside world. Rather, North Korea has practiced a selective engagement based on the regime's perception of its own interest, driven by the twin goals of self-determination and avoidance of dependency on outside forces. North Korea's "isolation" has been over-determined by its history: the perceived shortcomings of traditional Korean subservience to China; the memory of colonial exploitation by Japan; and North Korea's experience in the Cold War not just resisting the US but also navigating the conflict between the Soviet Union and China, Pyongyang's main allies. Finally, in the post-Cold War period North Korea has tried to adapt to changing circumstances, including limited attempts at economic reform and opening, while avoiding any potential threat to the security and stability of the regime. For North Korea, the benefits of economic, cultural, and other exchanges with the outside world are secondary to the defense of its national sovereignty and maintenance of its political system. Only by understanding how North Korea came to this point historically, can we understand how North Korea can and will engage with the outside world – and how we on the outside can best engage with North Korea.
Armstrong is The Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies in the Social Sciences in the Department of History and former Director of the Center for Korean Research at Columbia University. A historian of contemporary North and South Korea, Professor Armstrong is the author, editor or co-editor of five books, including most recently Tyranny of the Weak: North Korea and the World, 1950 – 1992 (Cornell University Press, 2013) and The Koreas (Routledge: second edition, 2014). Professor Armstrong holds a B.A. in Chinese Studies from Yale University, an M.A. in International Relations from the London School of Economics, and a Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago. He has taught at Princeton, the University of Washington in Seattle, and Seoul National University, and has been a member of the Columbia faculty in 1996.
Charles Armstrong's Athenaeum lecture is co-sponsored by the department of history at CMC.
The Eichmann Trial: Its Impact After 50 Years
Deborah Lipstadt is an American historian and author on the Holocaust and Jewish history. Her books include, Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust, 1933-1945 (1993), Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory (1994), The Eichmann Trial (2011), and History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving (2006).
On September 5th 1996, David Irving, an English writer and Holocaust denier, sued Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher Penguin Books on the charge of libel in her book, Denying the Holocaust. In this book, Lipstadt identified Irving as a Holocaust denier and described his manipulation and distortion of historical documents. Irving claimed that Lipstadt could not call him a Holocaust denier when there was no Holocaust to deny. The subsequent trial in a British court validated the historical truth of Hitler's genocide of six million European Jews during World War II. At the time of the verdict in favor of Lipstadt, the Daily Telegraph described the trial as having "done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations."
Following the trial, Lipstadt published the book, History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving, which documents the story of the courtroom confrontation. In reviewing the book, Publisher's Weekly concludes that, "No one who cares about historical truth, freedom of speech or the Holocaust will avoid a sense of triumph from Gray's decision — or a sense of dismay that British libel laws allowed such intimidation by Irving of a historian and a publisher in the first place."
Presently, Lipstadt is the Dorot professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University. She received her B.A. from City College of New York (1969) and her M.A. (1972) and Ph.D. (1976) from Brandeis University.

Britten's centenary is being celebrated with a concert performed by Charles Kamm (tenor), Gayle Blankenburg (piano), and Rachel Vetter Huang (violin) of the Scripps College Department of Music.

The game is over for Coach Daniels (Ed Marinaro) and his team. There won't be a fourth season for Blue Mountain State. The Spike TV series has been cancelled.
The comedy series revolves around the on and off-field antics of Pennsylvania college football powerhouse, Blue Mountain State. Coach Daniels has his hands full with the hijynx of his wife (Denise Richards) and students like team captain Thad (Alan Ritchson), quarterback Alex (Darin Brooks), and team mascot Sammy (Chris Romano).
The comedy performed decently for Spike in season one and realized significant gains in season two. The cable channel reported that the series saw a 33% increase with men 18-34, a 50% climb in men 18-24, and a 14% increase with men 18-49.
Total viewership dropped however in season three which kicked off this past September. While some episodes of season two had attracted 1.25 million viewers, at least one episode of season three garnered only half as many viewers. Spike TV aired the last two episodes of the season on November 30th. It turns out they'll also be the last of the series as well.
Loading ...
Lionsgate, the studio that produces Blue Mountain State, apparently considered shopping the series to other outlets but it didn't work out. The cast and crew were recently told that season four wouldn't be happening.
While it's been reported that the show was cancelled due to a decline in ratings, producer Eric Falconer says differently. He tweeted, "BMS wasn't cancelled because of a drop in ratings. Season 3 was actually up 20% + in all male demographics vs S2. It was a budget issue."
As recently as last week, Falconer was still hoping to hear that the show had been picked up for season four. However, it seems that State was actually living on borrowed time with Spike — even during season three. Last August, Spike TV executive VP Sharon Levy told Variety that the cable channel would be focusing on only non-scripted programming for the immediate future.
Of the cancellation news, Ritchson wrote, "Sad day for #BMS fans." He followed that up with, "I can't thank the dedicated cast, crew, and fans enough for all the love and support. Portraying Thad was a dream come true. I'm grateful."
Brooks thanked the cast and crew and "everyone who made this show possible…a HUGE thank you!! Love you guys!!"
What do you think? Are you sorry that Blue Mountain State has been cancelled? Would you follow the show to another channel? Would you be interested in a BMS movie?

RYAN VREDE, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says the Cheetahs' Super Rugby future rests on Saru's capacity to find a workable solution to a very complex problem.
The Kings are alive. Long live the Kings. That matter is settled. Ignore reports you've heard to the contrary. The Eastern Cape will have a Super Rugby franchise from 2013.
The issue now is which South African franchise they'll displace if the tournament isn't expanded. Everything points to the Cheetahs surrendering their licence and Saru has done little to ease their fears.
Those fears will deepen when the Cheetahs come to the full realisation that the Kings have the financial muscle, commercial appeal and political support to underpin their claim for entry into the southern hemisphere showpiece. Theirs is no idle threat.
The Lions were always expected to be the franchise in the most danger of having the music stopped on their Super Rugby party. Their record throughout their tenure is diabolical. If performances over the period of participation were the sole criteria for continued involvement, there would be an upsurge in the purchase of career classifieds at Lions HQ.
Those concerns marked the 2010 BG (Before Gumede) era. Now there is a newfound belief about the future of the franchise. The billionaire's investment has stayed the vultures that were patiently waiting the passing of the mortally wounded cat, acting as, they believe, the tonic that will restore health.
A wealthy and potentially successful Lions franchise is undoubtedly more appealing to the moneymen at Saru than a poor Cheetahs one with little prospect of making a significant improvement. It seems a simplistic argument to make, but the truism stands: Money is power. This leaves the Cheetahs in a dire situation.
No assessment of the Cheetahs can ignore results. At the time of writing, their record since they divorced from the ill-fated and dysfunctional marriage with the Lions (known as the Cats) in 2006 tells a tale of dreadful mediocrity: 18 wins in 72 matches with two draws. Even more damning is their diabolical record against Australasian opposition: 10 wins in 48 matches with two draws.
An acceptable standard for a Super Rugby franchise cannot be competitiveness against their countrymen, and this mostly at home. A 26% overall win record that plummets to 20% against the boys from Down Under is shocking.
A victory over the Waratahs in Sydney in March (their first ever in Australia) had the naive hailing the rise of the Cheetahs. Subsequent results (at the time of writing, they had gone on to lose heavily against the Reds, as well as be edged by the Blues) proved the victory was an aberration.
It must be noted that they have endured rotten luck, with injuries to key players in the past two years, most notably their captain Juan Smith, who has sat in more doctors' waiting rooms than on buses to games. The irrepressible Heinrich Brüssow is another who they've missed a great deal. Neither would look out of place in a World XV and their absence more than any other (the Cheetahs have had up to 12 regulars unavailable through injury) has undoubtedly contributed to their woeful record.
The dearth of quality in reserve is a major concern for the Cheetahs. But to establish that depth you need money to contract better squad players, and money is a scarce commodity in the region.
Private ownership seems a viable solution to their struggles. CEO Harold Verster reveals that they have had 'many offers' in this regard. Yet he remains wary of the concept.
'We could easily sell off to a massive investor. But when you sell your shares you sell your future,' Verster says. 'We're not prepared to do that, although I'm not totally opposed to it if we could figure out a way to make it mutually beneficial.
'The Lions won't benefit indefinitely from Robert Gumede's investment. Part of that money will be used to settle debts, part of it will be directed at players' salaries and recruitment and some used for the day-to-day running of the business.
'In the final analysis R80 million doesn't stretch as far as some may think. Success generates more revenue, but 50% of whatever the Lions make in future will go into Gumede's pocket. That's not a situation that appeals to us.'
Verster's intentions are noble, but the future he speaks of looks bleak without a significant cash injection. The Cheetahs don't possess the commercial appeal of the Bulls, Sharks and Stormers and therefore don't attract the multi-million rand sponsorships those franchises do. They also pale in comparison in their ticket and merchandise sales.
It is therefore obvious that the loss of their franchise licence would be catastrophic for the region, given that approximately 50% of their turnover stems directly from their participation in Super Rugby.
Herein lies the broader implication of losing their licence that must be carefully examined by the decision-makers.
The Free State has produced some of the country's finest players in recent years. Seven members of the Springboks' 2007 World Cup-winning squad hail from Bloemfontein or the surrounding areas and many of them are among the best in their positions in world rugby. Prodigiously gifted youngsters roll out of their schools – particularly Grey College – each year, and are either drafted into the Cheetahs' system or snapped up by other franchises.
Verster is unequivocal when asked to predict the potential effects of cutting the umbilical cord to Super Rugby.
'Rugby in this region would die a fast death,' he says. 'We wouldn't be able to hold on to promising juniors, who'd all want to play Super Rugby and therefore go to school or university in a region with a franchise. We'd be bankrupt in no time because the union wouldn't be able to generate enough money to sustain itself. That would be a travesty of the highest order.
'We believe we've got more players like Bismarck du Plessis, Ruan Pienaar, Frans Steyn, Heinrich Brüssow and Juan Smith here. People will argue that those first three guys and others like them developed into world-class players at other franchises. But how would you explain Smith and Brüssow then?
'We'd like to believe that our structures – at school and junior provincial levels – are among the best in the world. Without money that will no longer be the case and I then foresee significantly fewer players of that calibre coming through.'
SA Rugby magazine understands that the matter of the Cheetahs' future was supposed to be discussed after Saru's annual general meeting in late March. That never happened, with Saru explaining to the Cheetahs that the matter demanded a special forum. The date was yet to be set at the time of writing.
Our attempts to get comment from the governing body on anything relating to the Cheetahs' future were flatly denied on the basis that no decisions had been made yet. Sanzar gave us the same response.
'The situation is frustrating for us,' Verster says. 'We want to resolve the matter as fast as we can. Saru has said it will work something out. I don't know what it has in mind. Also, and I'm not naming names, in the past we were led to believe that the tournament would be further expanded to accommodate us. That hasn't been spoken about since, so you understand my pessimism. It looks increasingly likely that we will make way for the Kings or Lions.
'But I won't accept that we must sit by passively and watch our franchise licence being stripped away. The decision-making process must be fair. If you look at the past five years, the Lions have been the worst- performing franchise. But they've got a big investor now and all talk of them being the ones relegated seems to have disappeared.
'But their improved financial situation is irrelevant. It doesn't guarantee success. There is no difference to their performance, even after they invested heavily in their squad.
'Forget about Gumede's millions, this is a rugby issue and the potential to improve your squad mustn't be taken into consideration when deciding who gets a franchise licence in 2013 and who doesn't, if indeed that is what it comes down to.'
Verster is also vehemently opposed to the idea of another merger with the Lions as a possible solution.
'It's simply not an option for us, for a number of reasons. The franchises have totally different cultures – from the way we train to the way we prepare for matches to our after-match routines.
'It didn't work for six years when the Griffons, Griquas and Free State combined to form the Cheetahs. Only now are we starting to get it right and even then it's not an ideal situation. We're not willing to sacrifice years of tradition just because it provides a simple answer to a complex situation.
'Logistically the merger was and will be a nightmare. Our players had to travel hundreds of kilometres to Johannesburg, live out of a hotel for weeks on end away from their loved ones and still be expected to play at a high level. People will argue that it's the professional era and they just have to deal with it. But that's a narrow-minded approach. You can't undervalue the impact that being close to family and friends and the familiarity of home has on a player's performance.
'The more practical solution would be for the Bulls and Lions to merge. They're 50km apart. Doesn't that make more sense? But it won't happen because the Bulls have a strong identity and the Lions believe Gumede's investment will bankroll success in the very near future.'
It would be ludicrous to decide the awarding of a Super Rugby franchise licence on the result of a promotion-relegation match between the lowest-placed South African franchises. History suggests this would likely be the Cheetahs and Lions, although Verster half-jokingly suggested it could involve the Bulls given how many senior players are expected to leave at the end of the 2011 season. A poor 80 minutes (even in a home-away format) could cost either side millions. But more than that, Verster rightly argues that it could cost the region its rugby future.
It is undeniably the biggest and most complex decision Saru has had to make in years. As a means of avoiding that call, it will push for an expansion of the tournament and an additional South African franchise when the 2013 contract is negotiated.
Saru will hope its Australasian partners are accommodating, but the manner in which it has been marginalised in the past doesn't inspire confidence in this regard.
Verster: 'The region is on the brink of death. But we're choosing to believe that we'll live on. I hope our faith is not unfounded.'

Six Common Air Pollutants
A designation is the term EPA uses to describe the air quality in a given area for any of six common air pollutants known as criteria pollutants. After EPA establishes or revises a primary and/or secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), the Clean Air Act requires EPA to designate areas as "attainment" (meeting), "nonattainment" (not meeting), or "unclassifiable" (insufficient data) after monitoring data is collected by state, local and tribal governments. Once nonattainment designations take effect, the state and local governments have three years to develop implementation plans outlining how areas will attain and maintain the standards by reducing air pollutant emissions.
