Rhetoric and Reality in Science
A graduate of Princeton University, Robert Faggen earned his Ph.D. in English and American literature from Harvard in 1988. He has been an associate professor at CMC since 1994, and currently serves as the chair of the literature department. A prolific critic and editor, Faggen is a contributing editor of The Paris Review, has published articles in the Los Angeles Times Book Review and Partisan Review, and has composed critically acclaimed editions of works by Robert Frost, Czeslaw Milosz, and E. A. Robinson. He is currently working on a six-volume edition of The Complete Writings of Robert Frost for Harvard University Press.
One of Faggen's primary scholarly interests has been the relationship between literature and science, particularly the role that rhetoric and metaphor has played in scientific thought. He explored this question in one of his books, Robert Frost and the Challenge of Darwin (1997), published by the University of Michigan Press.
The fundamental question has roots in Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy: does art merely imitate reality, or is it a dynamic force that helps to define and shape our reality? The answer to this question will help to determine whether art and rhetoric have a significant influence on the way that science is perceived and the way in which it expresses itself. Faggen has explored this question further in his studies of Czeslaw Milosz, whose work addresses the question of the relation of science to the religious imagination.
Robert Faggen joins us to discuss the relationship of rhetoric and reality in modern science, a question that has provoked strong debates in recent years among the players in the "two cultures" of science and the humanities. This lecture is part of the Faculty Ideas in Progress series.
Reads From Her Work
Michelle Cliff's landmark novel No Telephone to Heaven (1989) is a story of Jamaica and the crossroads of myth, politics, and race. At its center is the haunting character of Clare Savage, a divided mulatto, and her quest for spiritual integrity. The book represents a major achievement in the development of narrative in its depiction of brutalizing poverty and astonishing beauty. Toni Morrison has said that it is "full of razors, blossoms, and clarity. The beauty and authority of Cliff's writing is coupled with profound insight." Her most recent work is a collection of stories, The Store of a Million Items: Stories (1998), remarkable for its precise economy of language and unsentimental intelligence in confronting the complexities of a post-colonial world.
Cliff, who grew up in Jamaica and the United States, was educated in New York and the University of London. Her previous books include Claiming the Identity They Taught Me to Despise (1980), Abeng (1990), and The Land of Look Behind: Prose and Poetry (1985). She has been recognized around the world for her essays, articles, and lectures, and has been the Allen K. Smith Professor of English Language and Literature at Trinity College. She currently resides in California. This lecture is jointly sponsored by the CMC literature department.
Dreams and Nightmares: A Documentary
A self-described "blue-collar intellectual and radical humanist," Abe Osheroff has made human rights causes his life's work. The son of immigrants in Brooklyn, Osheroff came to political activism as a teenager during the Great Depression, helping to organize trade and student unions. In 1936, at the age of 21, he left for Spain to join the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and defend the Spanish Republic against Francisco Franco's fascist rebellion. Wounded, he returned home in 1938. When the United States entered World War II, he again volunteered for service and served in the infantry until 1945.
Osheroff, a carpenter by trade, has since been involved in a number of human rights campaigns. He worked in Mississippi's "Black Belt" during the Civil Rights movement and built houses in rural Nicaragua. Dreams and Nightmares: A Documentary (1975), which Osheroff produced and directed, is an award-winning documentary-partly historical, partly autobiographical, and partly an antiwar, anti-Franco polemic. The 1975 film recounts Osheroff's childhood during the Depression, his time fighting in the Spanish Civil War, and Spain under Franco's dictatorship.
Abe Osheroff joins us at the Athenaeum to share his film and ideas on social justice. His visit to Claremont is jointly sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute and the CMC history department.
Science and Public Policy: The Global Warming Debate
How will we face the threat of global warming in the coming century? This is the question for debate by Donald McFarlane, professor of biology and ecology at Claremont McKenna College; James Higdon, professor of physics at Claremont McKenna College; John Passacontando, founder and executive director of Ozone Action; and Glenn Kelly, executive director of The Global Climate Coalition.
Global warming may be the most serious environmental and economic threat facing the earth in the coming century. Our planet's temperature rising as little as three degrees could result in significant coastal flooding, wetland and coral reef destruction, declining agricultural production in the Midwest, and an increase in the severity of storms and weather patterns such as El Nino. Scientific associations like the National Academy of Sciences and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have released statements confirming that man's polluting activities have caused the atmospheric carbon levels to rise significantly, and that our use of fossil fuels has had "a discernable influence on global climate." However, neither of these organizations has yet to determine how profound the effects of our greenhouse gas emissions will be on the future of our planet.
Tonight's debate will focus on whether the scientific evidence supporting the theory of global warming is strong enough to warrant policy action to reduce our emission of greenhouse gasses. McFarlane and Higdon will offer scientific evidence of global warming and discuss the scientific community's differing opinions on the need for regulatory action. As a professor of ecology, tropical ecology, and the environment of Southern California, McFarlane believes that there is enough scientific evidence collected to warrant serious concern about the threat of global warming. Higdon, a member of the American Physical Society, contends that the scientific evidence of the potential consequences of global warming are not significant enough to warrant major policy changes to regulate carbon emissions.
Passacontando and Kelly are advocates from opposing sides of the global climate policy debate. As spokesperson for Ozone Action, an organization founded in 1993 to work exclusively on the atmospheric issues of global warming and ozone depletion, Passacontando is dedicated to educating both policy makers and the public about this issue. He is an advocate for developing sound policy to address these serious environmental threats. In contrast, Kelly's GCC, one of the largest collective lobbying groups for companies such as Exxon Mobil, Southern Company, and CSX Transportation, lobbies against "drastic" and/or "hasty" changes in our government's policy towards global climate regulation. The GCC maintains "even if all scientific uncertainties were resolved, sound policy decisions should consider the economic and social alternative policy choices."
Ethics and the Economic Approach to Human Behavior
Colin Wright was born in England where he received his early education. He attended Brigham Young University and earned his M.A. and Ph.D from the University of Chicago, where he was awarded several fellowships, including the Brookings Fellowship for Studies in Federal Taxation. Wright began teaching economics at Northwestern University before moving to Claremont in 1972 to become director of the Lincoln Institute at the Claremont Graduate School. A few years later, he was appointed dean of the faculty at Claremont McKenna College, a position he held until 1983 when he returned to full-time teaching and research within CMC's department of economics. Wright has also served several tours of duty as chairman of that department.
Early in his career Wright worked in environmental and urban economics, publishing several article's and one monograph in this area. During this period he also served as a consultant to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Labor Department on matters related to the Clean Water and Clean Air Acts of the 60s and 70s. More recently, his teaching and research interests have turned toward the interrelationships between moral philosophy and political economy. Alternatively, it could be said that he has returned to the foundations of economics as found in the works of David Hume and Adam Smith. This interest is reflected in his team teaching of two courses with two CMC professors: Ethics, Economics, and Public Policy with Clark Kucheman and Foundations of Political Economy with Jim Nichols. In the same vein, he joined forces with Professor Nichols to coedit From Economics to Political Economy ... and Back? (1990). He is presently working on an article titled "Economics and the Moral Dimension."
It is a pleasure to welcome dedicated teacher and moralist Colin Wright to the Athenaeum as the final speaker of this semester's series on Faculty Ideas in Progress.
Market Journalism, or The Best News That Money Can Buy
Whereas journalists have traditionally viewed themselves as members of a fourth estate that checks entrenched power and gives voice to dissent, Serge Halimi contends that the new global media has lost its independence and now in fact enhances corporate power and stifles democratic opposition. The business mentality of the new media has created a cozy alliance between the economic elite and leading journalists, such that the latter have become loud advocates for the former, especially on issues such as taxes, trade, regulation, etc. Abandoning their autonomy for the sake of pure profits, Halimi argues that our newsmakers can no longer be entrusted to serve as watchdogs for democracies.
Halimi is a senior editor and writer at Le Monde Diplomatique, a print and digital format with a worldwide circulation in which his articles appear simultaneously in numerous languages. He also teaches as an associate professor at the University of Paris. An author of numerous articles and monographs, Halimi has published several books on the influence of the media in both the United States and France, including: A l'americaine: Faire un president (1986); Sisyphe est fatigue (1993); Les eschecs de la gauche au pouvois (1993); and Les Nouveaux Chiens de garde (1997). As soon as it appeared, Les Nouveaux Chiens de garde created an immediate controversy in France, since it criticized certain leading journalists by name. It was the number one bestseller in France for many weeks and has since been translated into several languages.
Serge Halimi's lecture is made possible by a grant from the E. L. Weigand Foundation Visitor-in-Residence program.
Ask The Children: What America's Children Really Think About Working Parents
Most sociological studies of work-family tensions focus upon the attitudes and behaviors of working adults. Ellen Galinksy's landmark book Ask the Children: What America's Children Really Think About Working Parents (1999) contains the findings of a unique, longterm study of how children view the stresses and strains of modern family life. Her book-and the reactions to it-are the subject of her Athenaeum talk.
Galinsky is the president and cofounder of the Families and Work Institute, a Manhattan-based nonprofit organization conducting research on the changing family, workplace, and community. Since its inception in 1989, the Institute has made headlines with pioneering research such as the National Study of the Changing Workforce, an ongoing representative study of the U.S. workforce that is updated every five years. The 1998 Business Work-Life Study revealed the trends and prevalence of business initiatives that support the family and personal lives of employees.
Galinsky was a presenter at the 1997 White House Conference on Child Care and is the program director of the annual work-life conference, sponsored by the Conference Board and the Families and Work Institute. Having helped pioneer the field of work and family life during twenty-five years of teaching at Bank Street College of Education, she is coauthor of more than twenty books and hundreds of articles in magazines and academic journals. The past president of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, Galinsky serves on many boards, commissions, and task forces.
Ask the Children was excerpted in Newsweek. Both Galinsky and her work have been profiled in most national print and television forums including NBC's Today Show and ABC's Nightline.
Ellen Galinsky is one of three speakers featured this year in conjunction with CMC's new H. N. and Frances C. Berger Institute on Work, Family, and Children.
McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics
The International Monetary System After the Advent of the Euro
Robert Mundell has established the foundation for the theory which dominates practical policy considerations of monetary and fiscal policy in open economies. . . Above all, Mundell chose his problems with uncommon-almost prophetic-accuracy in terms of predicting the future development of international monetary arrangements and capital markets.
-The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Professor Robert A. Mundell, the recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, is one of the most important figures in international macroeconomics. Born in Canada in 1932, Mundell received his B.A. from the University of British Columbia. He studied at the London School of Economics and received his Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1956 with a thesis on international capital movements. Currently the C. Lowell Harriss Professor of Economics at Columbia University, Mundell has taught at the University of Chicago, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins.
The author of hundreds of articles in scientific journals, popular news articles, and reports for governments and international institutions, his books include Man and Economics (1968), and Monetary Theory: Inflation, Interest and Growth in the World Economy (1971). He is the father of optimum currency areas, was an important contributor to supply-side theories, and has advised the IMF, UN, World Bank, European Commission, Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Treasury, and numerous governments on monetary policy. As a consultant for the EEC in the early 70s, Mundell developed one of the earliest plans for European currency unification.
Robert Mundell's talk will focus on the post-Euro monetary system. His visit to Claremont McKenna College, endowed by founding trustee Donald McKenna, is the fifth annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics. The dinner is open to the CMC community only. All are welcome to attend the lecture.

In the fall of 1954, a group of young boys traveled down to a low Neuse River, discovering some of the ironclad gunboat peering up through the water — so they started digging.
The boys recovered several loaded projectiles, which were later discovered as the only ones on the sunken ship. They called for their fathers to help wheelbarrow the heavy explosives up a steep incline, and they later posed with them for a photograph that appeared in The Free Press.
Two days later, the water rose too high for them to excavate more of the vessel. Fifty-eight years later, one of those young explorers has died.
Dr. Charles Vance Peery II of Kinston passed away in his Charleston, S.C. home on Saturday after battling an illness. In 2009, following the first half of his medical career out of Davidson College and the Duke University Medical School, he settled down as a Civil War naval historian.
He was 71.
"Charles Peery and Pierce Howard were big history buffs," Paul Chused, who dug with Peery back in 1954, said. Going down to the river, he said, was Peery and Howard's idea. There were enough projectiles for each boy to keep on and give one to the state. One was loaned to the
Peery's collections from his worldly travels are set to exhibit at Charleston's Hunley Museum, which houses parts of the first submarine to sink a ship.
"When he was here, he was a big advocate to help maintain the history of our town," Chused said.
Peery connected with Bill Rowland, a Kinston historian, through phone calls for over 30 years. They shared updates as Peery traveled the Eastern coast and Rowland worked on recovering the
"I think his initiative in starting here gave him the (drive) to move on and still explore," Rowland said.
Peery traveled through the United States and Europe collecting books, artifacts and paintings from that time period. He would invite researchers to his home and often spoke throughout the country.
But according to Rowland, it was Peery's discovery of the ammunition that compelled other explorers to look into Kinston's Neuse River.
"In my opinion, that was the initiative that inspired these other guys to go down there," Rowland said.
After the projectiles were recovered, the river was left alone for a few years. For Rowland, the projectile discoveries started Peery's history run.
"I think that gave him the energy and the interest level to move on. Even though his medical degree was important, this was his hobby," Rowland said.

The funeral service for Dr. Charles Vance Peery II will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. Interment will be in the Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to:

Best 2013 Books for Entrepreneurs
'Give and Take' by Adam Grant'The Circle' by Dave Eggers'Looptail' by Bruce Poon Tip'The Sports Gene' by David Epstein'The Effortless Experience' by Matthew Dixon et al'Lean In' by Sheryl Sandberg'The Everything Store' by Brad Stone'Creative Confidence' by Tom & David Kelley'Choose Yourself' by James Altucher'Devil in the Grove' by Gilbert King
Smart folks in business follow a simple motto: always be learning. There are many ways to go about it, but cracking open an insightful read is rarely a bad idea (at least in my experience). Here's a selection of the year's best books. They may not seem immediately to be "business" books--but as many entrepreneurs know, inspiration can come from many places.--Jeff Haden
Good news for the unselfish: givers win. If you've ever felt that being nice, being collaborative, being helpful--basically trying to serve others instead of yourself--is not just thankless but also fruitless, this book will prove you wrong. Ultimately professional and personal success is based on making others around you successful and happy--and Grant will show you how.
Non-fiction is great, but sometimes fiction has the power to really make you think. While you might at first be tempted to determine whether Eggers is taking thinly-veiled shots at Google or Facebook, you'll soon find yourself thinking about privacy, transparency, the nature and requirements of sharing--all the ways you currently live your digital life. And, at least for a few minutes, you'll view connectivity in a different light.
If passion, purpose, and a healthy dose of social responsibility are the central factors in your entrepreneurial life, Poon Tip is your guy. While he does share the nuts and bolts story of how he created the business and culture of G Adventures, he also provides a surprisingly candid look at the missteps and mistakes he made along the way. If you're fascinated by the emotional journey entrepreneurs take as they build their companies (I know I am) this is your book.
Granted not a business book, but then again, "The Sports Gene" is a fascinating look at how elite athletes are born, and made. Is excellence the result of natural talent? Or focused practice? Short answer: both. That's why anyone who coaches and develops people will find new ways to think about how they do their jobs and will think differently about the people they lead. (Plus, the ratio of "Oh, wow, I never knew that..." moments per page is as high as any book I read this year.)
If your goal is to create a better customer experience (and if it's not, what are you doing that is more important?) "The Effortless Experience" is filled with practical ways to better serve your customers and meet them on their terms, which are the only terms that matter. Most customer service books are extremely long on the "why" question and extremely short on what to actually do. Dixon et al realize the "Why?" is self-evident and focus exclusively on what you need the most: concrete tools for creating loyal customers.
I'm not proud, but sometimes I don't read certain books simply because it seems everyone is saying I should read them. (And yes, I am aware of the irony of what I just said.) Sandberg's book fell into that category. Then I finally read it. And yes, it's confirmed: I'm a dumbass. It's great.
Sometimes the incredibly popular is incredibly popular for a genuine reason.
Thinking of starting a business? Read this first. You'll find some things you'll want to do, decide there are some things you don't want to do, and gain insight into how you will refine your focus, deliver value, manage your employees. The story of the rise (and rise and rise) of Amazon is interesting, but more importantly it will make you reflect on how you want to build and run a company.
I always assumed creativity was simply something you had or, in my case, did not have. Turns out creativity is a skill you can learn, and can help your employees learn. As the great philosopher and avant-garde sentence constructor Yoda would say, "Do or do not. There is no try." Read it and then do it: I promise you'll realize you can be more creative than you ever imagined.
Belief isn't enough. Desire isn't enough. You may want to succeed, but as Altucher says, "...I realized that nobody else was going to do it for me. If I was going to thrive, to survive, I had to choose myself. In every way. The stakes have risen too high not to...." Sounds like the core belief of every successful entrepreneur I've met.
Decide what "success" means to you--and then choose yourself. No one else will.
Not published in 2013, but Pulitzer Prize winners get a pass. If you've considered holding diversity training or seminars or bringing in a speaker--don't. Read this book instead. Ask your employees to read it. Shoot, pay your employees to read it. No matter how strong your current beliefs, the story of Thurgood Marshall's defense of four young black men falsely accused of raping a white woman will ensure you never think about people who are different from you--whether in terms of race, religion, beliefs, or simply because of how they look or act--the same way again. But be forewarned; the hatred and violence described is not for the faint of heart--which is another reason you should read it.

Allan is the joint owner of Data Relish Ltd. I work with companies helping them to decide how best to store their data Key/Value (Redis) Document (DocumentDB, Mongo) Relational (SQL Server) NoSQL (Hadoop/HBase) I also help customers to decide on whether a move to cloud based offerings makes sense. The Azure platform from Microsoft has a lot to offer and it isn't necessarily a Cloud/On Premise binary choice. Hybrid scenarios make a lot of sense too. I also work with customers who have large scale or interesting data movement requirements. This could be batch processes which are complex or real-time sensor and telemetry data.

Two bay cities will meet in this year's Super Bowl – the Chesapeake Bay's Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco Bay's San Francisco 49ers. But before Ravens and 49ers battle it out tonight for gridiron supremacy, we look to see which city has the edge off the football field.
Baltimore: The Ravens. Its name comes from the well-known poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, who spent the early part of his career in Baltimore and is buried in the city. He was found delirious on the city streets before his death in 1849.
San Francisco: The 49ers. The team takes its moniker from the nickname given to prospectors that made their way to Northern California during the California Gold Rush of the mid-1800s.
Advantage: Tie. This is not a copout. The Ravens' intimidating name (and defense) is a fitting nod to Poe's bone chilling work, while the 49ers have brought a lot of gold (five Super Bowl trophies and counting) to San Francisco.
Baltimore: Crab cakes. Crab cakes are historically associated with the city of Baltimore and the state of Maryland. Some of the earliest print references to crab cakes, according to Food Timeline, were published in Maryland newspapers in the late 1800s.
San Francisco: Rice-A- Roni. The Rice-A- Roni founding family set up a pasta factory in the city in 1912. The rice and pasta dish's first commercial in 1958 featured San Francisco's cable cars and the now-famous jingle – "Rice-A- Roni , the San Francisco Treat!"
Advantage: San Francisco. It comes down to having a sweet tooth and San Fran also has the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, one of the few American companies that control the entire chocolate manufacturing process.
Baltimore: "The Wire," "In Treatment," "Roc."
San Francisco: "Full House," "Charmed," "Dharma & Greg," "Monk," "Nash Bridges," "Party of Five," "That's So Raven," "Trapper John, M.D."
Advantage: San Francisco. Baltimore may have the best show you've never watched in "The Wire," but San Francisco has the Tanner family, Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse (John Stamos and "Full House" for the win!).
Baltimore: "Baltimore" by Randy Newman and "Streets of "Baltimore" by Gram Parsons.
San Francisco: "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" by Scott McKenzie and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" by Tony Bennett.
Advantage: San Francisco. While several bands and musicians have paid tribute to San Francisco – The Animals, Jay Farrar, The Decemberists , Chris Isaacs – in song, the McKenzie tune is the one most associate with the city.
Baltimore: Charm City. City leaders gave Baltimore the nickname in the 1970s in part because they were worried about the city's floundering reputation.
San Francisco: The City by the Bay. The somewhat uninspired name comes from the city's location by the San Francisco Bay.
Advantage: San Francisco. The 1978 Journey song "Lights" is about the band's San Francisco origins and refers to its hometown by its nickname.
Baltimore: Muggsy Bogues, Julie Bowen, Tom Clancy, David Hasselhoff, Stacy Keibler, Ric Ocasek, Michael Phelps, Jada Pinkett Smith, Parker Posey, Emily Post, Mike Rowe, Frank Zappa.
San Francisco: Ansel Adams, Clint Eastwood, Bill Bixby, Danny Glover, Leslie Mann, Rob Schneider, Liev Schreiber, Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Wood, Jerry Garcia, Huey Lewis, Tupac Shakur .
Advantage: Baltimore, if for no other reason than what Muggy Bogues meant to the Charlotte Hornets back in the day.
Baltimore: Camden Yards, the Inner Harbor.
San Francisco: Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge.
Advantage: San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge was named one of the Wonders of the Modern World, while the famed island of Alcatraz, which housed a military stockade and a prison, is a National Historic Landmark.
Baltimore: "The Star-Spangled Banner." After U.S. forces successfully defended the Baltimore harbor from the British in 1814 during the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key – inspired by the sight of an American flag waving above Fort McHenry the next morning – wrote the National Anthem.
San Francisco: The Summer of Love. The summer saw thousands upon thousands flock to the city, a haven for the hippie counterculture, in 1967. They were anti government, war and consumerism and pro equality, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
Advantage: Baltimore. While the political and social ramifications of the Summer of Love were longstanding and significant, "The Star-Spangled Banner" is a permanent part of the fabric of this country.
Baltimore – 2
San Francisco – 5
It may be a runaway in San Francisco's favor off-the-field, but Baltimore fans will hold the ultimate bragging rights if their Ravens are able to win the big game. Super Bowl XLVII (or 47) takes place at 6:30 tonight and will be televised on CBS from New Orleans.

Comments about 7-1/4 in. Worm Drive Circular Saw with Twistlock Plug:
I like most of the saw however the rear handle position makes it harder to manuever than my Makita hypoid . The most irritating of all is the lack of rip guide and guide knobs . Their old saws would come standard with at least the knobs . I'll probably repair my Makita an shelf this one . I will say however CPO is second to none for tool scorce !

Comments about 7-1/4 in. Worm Drive Circular Saw with Twistlock Plug:
Have wanted a circular saw with left side blade for a long time. Being able to see the blade's cut line without looking "over" the saw a big plus for someone right handed ( at least it was/is for me ) . Smooth cuts in a variety of materials ( with the correct blade, of course).

Final Score: South Alabama 37, Florida Atlantic 34 (2OT)
Mobile, AL (Sports Network) - The South Alabama Jaguars picked up their first- ever Sun Belt Conference win by outlasting Florida Atlantic to pick up a 37-34 victory in a double-overtime thriller at Ladd Peebles Stadium.
After South Alabama (2-5, 1-2 Sun Belt) blocked Mitch Anderson's attempt, Michel Chapuseaux connected on a 35-yard field goal to end the Jaguars' four game losing streak. Ross Metheny completed 13-of-27 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown under center while Gabe Loper reeled in four catches for 91 yards and a score. Demetre Baker tallied 73 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries as USA downed an FBS opponent for the first time this season.
Graham Wilbert paced FAU (1-6, 0-4) with 303 yards and two touchdowns on 27- of-41 passing. Jonathan Wallace added 101 yards and a score on 21 carries. William Dukes made five receptions for a game-high 119 yards and a touchdown while Daniel McKinney made a team-best six grabs for 57 yards. Brent Harstad made 15 total tackles and forced a fumble as the Owls lost their sixth in a row.
FAU took a 7-0 lead just over five minutes after kickoff when Wallace punched it in from a yard out to punctuate an eight-play, 64-yard drive.
USA struck back with an 11-play, 75-yard drive which was finished off by a four-yard touchdown run by Baker. FAU responded with another scoring drive as Martese Jackson rushed 14 yards for a score.
The Jaguars evened the score in the second quarter as Metheny rushed five yards for touchdown with 12:18 left in the first half.
The Owls took a 17-14 lead into the break as Anderson made a 23-yard field goal as the second quarter's time expired.
FAU extended its advantage just over two minutes into the second half as Wilbert completed a 50-yard strike to Dukes for a score. FAU drove 55 yards on 12 plays to put Chapuseaux in position for a 32-yard field goal, which made it a one possession game.
Wilbert struck again in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter as he found Nexon Dorvilus for a six-yard touchdown pass.
South Alabama refused to surrender and responded with a 13-play, 80-yard drive which ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Demetre Baker. The Jaguars tied it up, 31-31, with just over a minute remaining as Metheny found Loper for a 16- yard touchdown pass.
In overtime, Chapuseaux made a 37-yard field goal in the first overtime. Anderson forced a second overtime period with a 37-yard kick of his own.
Despite the loss, the Owls gained 461 yards of total offense and limited USA to 359 yards.

Catering To The Rich And Famous In Business
There's a wide assortment of spas to choose from in the Monterey area. We provide the following FAQ to help assure your visit is a pleasant one in the event you have not had the pleasure to experience the wonders of a spa environment before now. Enjoy! What should I wear? In all cases you should wear comfortable clothing and do not bring jewelry or valuables to the spa. Remember, it's a time for relaxation – not a fashion show. A spa robe and slippers are often provided for your treatment(s), but in the event they are not, loose clothing should be the selection of choice. Will I have to get naked? If you're scheduled for a message you may prefer to fully disrobe for your treatment since massage therapists are professionally trained and licensed in proper draping techniques to ensure privacy and comfort for clients. When should I arrive? We suggest arriving 20 minutes prior to your appointment to allow ample time to check in, change and relax prior to any treatment. Remember, this is a time of relaxation and pampering, Direct TV Offers, so it's best not to arrive at the last minute in a stressful state since this may negate any positive effect of the treatment(s) you are receiving. Is there expected protocol? Again, since most spa environments are designed for guests to relax and enjoy the silence it's best to always speak softly and to leave cell phones, laptops and pagers behind. Can I make special requests? You can discuss special requests with your practitioner and if reasonable they can usually be accommodated. Examples might include focusing on your back during a massage should you be having concerns in that particular area or special chemical treatments during a facial. Likewise, if at any time during your service you feel uncomfortable, by all means mention these concerns so modifications can be made. What should I tip? As with any service, it's appropriate to tip a minimum of 15% (with 20% being average).

When you're looking for the best shades on the net, Ray-Ban Sunglasses are no doubt high on your list of choices. The legendary style of these sunglasses has made RayBan one of the world's leading manufacturers of eyewear. This top position has allowed them to advance the technology, materials and construction of every pair of Ray Ban Sunglasses. The iconic styles of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer and Ray-Ban Aviator have been updated throughout the years with modern frame and lens materials to provide a superior-fitting pair of sunglasses that protect against harmful UV rays and give the wearer a clearer image than ever before. While every pair of RayBan Sunglasses gives you a trend setting piece of fashion to compliment your ensemble, if you want to learn more about how to find the right style for your particular needs, be sure to read our How To Guide on Choosing Sunglasses.
Ray-Ban has always been focused on quality. Prior to the FDA imposing safety regulations calling for testing, Ray-Ban was already testing their sunglasses to ensure optimal quality and construction. Not only are the frames in Ray-Ban Shades super stylish, they're also tough enough to last for years, and the lenses have a high level of impact resistance, so you needn't worry about day-to-day abuse ruining your new sunglasses. Just because the lenses are tough doesn't mean they lack advanced optical technology. The B-15 High Contrast Brown lenses provide greater contrast for color enhancement. The G-15 Neutral Gray lenses allow all colors to pass through the glass equally, which has earned them the 'natural vision lens' nickname. RayBan's polarized lenses eliminate glare to give a great view in any condition, even out at sea on bright days when the water acts as a mirror. Likewise, the frames in Ray-Ban Sunglasses are advanced and optimized for comfort and performance. The titanium frames are lightweight but incredibly strong, whereas the Memo-Ray frames are flexible enough to contour to the shape of your head while never losing their original shape. The Carbon Fiber frames are some of the strongest and lightest on earth, and the lack of welding means they can handle a lifetime of opening and closing without wearing down. All this amazing technology is added to the classic styles of Ray-Ban, providing some of the best sunglasses that money can buy.

Solitude: Lamar and agriculture
L.Q.C. Lamar is known nationally as a congressman, senator, Secretary of the Interior and associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, but he is not known for his interest in, and ownership of, farming operations. In 1854, Lamar was living in his home state of Georgia. He had established a law firm in Macon but he did not have any use for his extensive slave holdings. (October 15, 2010, Page 3B)
