GARETH DUNCAN watched Frederic Michalak excel at flyhalf as France broke their seven-year losing streak to Australia with a 33-6 triumph in Paris.
It was a strong team performance that saw Les Bleus dominate in what proved to be a one-sided contest. The hosts held the ascendancy up front as the injury-hit Wallabies were bullied at the Stade de France.
Michalak used this platform to spearhead his team to the win. While the former Sharks pivot has received limited game time in the No 10 jersey at his club Toulon so far in the European season, he dazzled with an impressive all-round performance on this occasion.
He kicked 15 points via three conversions, two penalties and a drop goal, and it was his individual brilliance from a quick throw that set up wing Wesley Fofana for the team's second try. He showed great pace and a good step to pass opposite number Kurtley Beale, before offloading to the supporting speedster.
No 8 Louis Picamoles, who also put in a strong display, crossed the chalk in the opening 40, while France were also awarded a penalty try. Replacement scrumhalf Morgan Parra completed the rout with a late shot at goal.
Wallabies fullback Mike Harris converted two penalties in the opening 40, which proved to the tourists' only points of the game.
It was Harris who opened the scoring in the eighth minute, but France surged into a 10-point lead thanks to Picamoles' charge from close range and Michalak's boot (a conversion and two penalties).
Michalak and Harris traded three-pointers before the break as the French led 16-6 at half-time.
In the second stanza, the Wallabies faltered as France surged to victory with a slick attacking performance and a resilient defence.
Fofana's score created a comfortable buffer in the third quarter, while referee Nigel Owens' decision to award the home team a penalty try sealed matters. The Wallabies created a few try-scoring opportunities during the half, but they failed to convert any of them.

Kevin William Reed, 35, of Eaton has been indicted in the Preble County Common Pleas Court on one count of sexual battery of a minor for actions which took place in part at the Higher Heights Church in Camden, according to a Camden police report.
Reed is a former Camden Village Council member, and was briefly mayor of the village.
The official indictment claims Reed, on or between July 1, 2013 and Aug. 30, 2013, engaged in "sexual conduct with another, not the spouse of the offender, when the other person is a minor, the offender is a cleric, and the other person is a member of, or attends, the church or congregation served by the cleric."
At the time of the alleged offense, Reed was working as a youth minister with the Higher Heights Church of God in Camden. The victim, at the time of the alleged offense, was 17 years old and regularly attended youth ministry meetings at the church where she met Reed, according to Preble County court documents.
Reed would send the victim messages via Facebook, email, text message, and written letters and poems, records indicate. Nude photos were also allegedly sent to the victim from Reed, and from the victim to Reed, according to a police report prepared by Camden Officer Matthew Spurlock.
"[The victim] stated that during this time Reed and her would communicate through email, text messages and over the telephone. [The victim] stated that Reed and her would talk about getting married and that they loved each other. [The victim] stated that Reed had supplied her with her cell phone so the two could keep in contact," the official incident report from the Camden Police Department notes.
The first alleged sexual contact occurred in the church kitchen, in July, Spurlock's report says the victim claimed. Other contact between the two occurred in a vehicle when the victim would receive a ride from Reed to and from a meeting at the church.
Court documents state Reed had promised the victim "he would divorce his wife and marry her" and he would "be honored to call [her] wife." Reed allegedly told the victim if she told anyone of their relationship, he had "friends in high places" from his time served as the Mayor of Camden.
According to reports, the pastor of Higher Heights Church stated that Kevin Reed was voted in as the Youth Pastor after just being with the church for a short time.
"Kevin was allowed this position due to holding the Youth Pastor position at several area churches," reports noted. The position was unpaid. Reed did not have credentials for the position; the church however had plans to help him earn those credentials, according to officials.
"The church did have an Alcohol Anonymous meeting," according to official documents. The meeting was led by Reed after the previous person in the position was unable to continue running the meetings, documents state.
"The AA meeting was a class which was approved by the church. The pastor stated that [the victim] was Kevin's assistant during these meetings. The pastor stated that the church was aware that she was assisting and did not have a reason to question her involvement," a narrative in the police report explains.
Following the allegations made in the case, Reed has since resigned from his position as Youth Pastor. Reed has pleaded "not guilty" to the charge.
Reed's short-lived term as the Mayor of Camden was surrounded by controversy prior to his election into the position in the fall of 2011. Allegations against Reed included fraud, theft, and embezzlement. While neighboring West Alexandria's Police Department was conducting their investigation, Reed stepped down from his mayoral seat. Calls made to the WAPD regarding updates on the investigation had not been returned at press time.
A jury trial in the case has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Monday, July 14, in Preble County Common Pleas Court.

Suzuki and Intelligent Energy commit to hydrogen motorcycle
Motorcyclists will no doubt remember the highly unconventional Suzuki Crosscage Hydrogen Concept bike from last November's Tokyo Motor Show. The bike was developed in conjunction with British Intelligent Energy (the same folk who developed the ENV fuel cell motorcycle in 2005). Suzuki and IE this week executed a further development agreement which envisages the progression of their collaboration to commercially viable fuel cell motorcycles – it means that the Crosscage, or something quite like it, will appear in a showroom near you. Even more interesting though, is that IE's home hydrogen generation plants appear the perfect partner for a fuel cell motorcycle – brew your own hydrogen.

Am i still on chess.com or have i come to some alternate reality. I have to stop visiting these threads. I feel my intelligence slipping with each visit.
This reminds me of the old running gag on STOS. You know. Where Chekov was always telling everyone.. 'it vas inwented in Russia first'
So is there a town called Chessville and who is the mayo?. If somebody say their is a tale of gold chess board that will reveal all the secrets of great play i will visit you and chain you to a chess board and force you to play checkers for 48 consecutive hrs using the chess pieces.
I know only that I played chess in Baghdad, where it was popular, and that I took it with me to Cordoba, where it had not been played prior to my arrival. Inasmuch as the article mentions my actions, I cannot conclude that the author is wholly in error.
I wonder did they have debates over the game like we have at chess.com. Sure they had their equivalent of a GM.
There are ways to deduce the origins of many things. One of which is by the use of etymology.
For example, the name in Persia was the word chatrang, this is a derivation of the Sanskrit word chaturanga (meaning four arms of the military). The Arabians further evolved the word to shatranj.
The first documented use of the word in Middle Persia was between 300 and 700 A.D. The reference was to a Shah in the third century as a shatranj master.
The evidence does seem to suggest that the origins were from the sub-continent.
Clearly, in the pictures proposed as evidence, there are to be games that seem to appear similar to chess however, the rules of such may or may not be significantly differing, enough to negate the concept.
It seems disingenuous to equate Africa and Egypt and give credit to "Africa" because complex board games orginated in Egypt. Egypt was clearly tied to the Mediterranean World. Ancient Egypt should be considered part of the Near East, (along with Assyria,The Babylonian Empire,Palestine,etc.) And after Alexander the Great, Alexandria is in the sphere of Mediterranean Europe. North Africa was the breadbasket of Rome and when it was lost to the Vandals, it was considered part of the Roman Empire that was lost. The fringe of Africa along the Mediterranean is part of the Mediterranean World. Let's be real about this: Sub-Saharan Africa is not part of the picture here. It would be like saying that Germanic tribes in Scandinavia were really influencing everything happening in Southern Europe behind the scenes. Well I guess they did ultimately, but not until they were actually in Southern Europe. The most efficient form of travel in the ancient world was via water, and that is why the Mediterranean was the focus of everything. (It is why for example Russia was irrelevant for centuries until Peter the Great created the fresh-water port of Saint Petersburg on the Baltic.)Also the second article on Ethiopian "chess" says unequivocally they got it from the Arabs: "This counsellor moves diagonally, but only one square at a time; therefore the "Fers" is the same as the "Vizier" in the Arabic game of Shatranj. This is a clear indication of the fact that the Ethiopians adopted Shatranj and transformed it into the African brand of chess they call Senterej." So putting the two articles together, you can deduce the chain is Egypt->Arabia->Ethiopia.
Thanks to the article, was searching for something relating to this article and then read this comment. It made me laugh, clearly a misunderstanding about your Geography knowledge. Egypt is part of Africa. I think it's so easy in our modern days [of computers] to look up a google map. I will excuse the American education system, but I don't think you can blame your teachers/education system. It's more a fact of being ignorant.
Geography isn't entirely physical (...)
Voice of wisdom.
Some people seem to be taken that issue personally, as if inventions of the time were reflecting today's creativity (to avoid saying superiority) of some people over others.
But even if chess originated near the African Great Lakes (which it did not), "Africa" in the implied meaning of "today's countries belonging to the African continent, in that they form a roughly homogeneous cultural sphere" is wrong, because that area did not exist at the time. It's just as if you credited the European Union with Archimedes' inventions, and deduced that people with a Schengen-country passport are a superior people (this claim might not sound so ridiculous in 50 years).
As for some dubious claims :
Slaves did not build pyramids. No. It is just false.
Moreover, unlike what most people think, slave labor is highly unefficient because the "workers" have absolutely no incentive to work well. It was already pointed out by Adam Smith, and Stalin provided us with a bigger scale experiment, aka Gulag, and the results speak for themselves.
Just differing views of what's important in geography.
Some people will equate Egypt and its grandeur with Africa, based solely on its physical location, and be entirely reasonable in doing so. It does in fact sit right there in Africa. Just the same way there's clearly a physical entity called "America," and it lies on the North American continent.
Others view geography through a cultural lens, and justifiably claim that Egypt was far more strongly influenced by the culture and politics of the Mediterranean and Middle East. Just as America, Australia, etc. have no real cultural claim to anything of historical value, being essentially overflow spots for European imperialists.
Chess Originated In Africa
Sorry no it did not Chess came from India then it spread to Persia (Modern day Iran) when the Muslims conqured the Persians they adopted it and they were the ones who spread it to Europe H.J.R Murray spent over 10 years researching and writing a History of Chess in pain staking detail it's a collasal work over 900 pages long. He taught himself Arabic to decipher ancient texts and documents. He traced the history of the game from it's Indian beginnings all the way to the end of the 19th century.
Alexander Kotov in The Soviet Chess School (1983 book not the 1950's Soviet School of Chess which is a different work) affirms in his book that Chess came directly from Persia or Arabia to Russia around the 11th-12th century.
I don't find the OP's argument convincing.
Dear Africa,
Why is it that everytime someone talks about you there's always a racially toned flamewar going on in the comment section. Not blaming you, just want to know.
One love and much respect,

As all Carroll admirers know, his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), became an immediate success and has since been translated into more than eighty languages. The equally popular sequel Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, was published in 1872.
The Alice books are but one example of his wide ranging authorship. The Hunting of the Snark, a classic nonsense epic (1876) and Euclid and His Modern Rivals, a rare example of humorous work concerning mathematics, still entice and intrigue today's students. Sylvie and Bruno, published toward the end of his life contains startling ideas including an 1889 description of weightlessness.
The humor, sparkling wit and genius of this Victorian Englishman have lasted for more than a century. His books are among the most quoted works in the English language, and his influence (with that of his illustrator, Sir John Tenniel) can be seen everywhere, from the world of advertising to that of atomic physics.

From the African Loom to the American Quilt
"Slaves were compulsive knitters," Gladys-Marie Fry explained. The quilts they created provided far more than warmth. Quilts were not only a means of expression and communication along the Underground Railroad but also enabled slaves to earn money to buy their freedom. The symbols and imagery invoked in quilts hark back to the religions and myths of Africa.
Fry, who studied history and folklore at Howard University and at Indiana University, has become an expert on the African American quilting tradition. She authored Stitched from the Soul: Slave Quilting in the Antebellum South (1989) and was curator of the exhibit of the same name, as well as the exhibitions Made by Men: Contemporary Quilts Made by African-American Men (1996) and Nineteenth Century African-American Quilt Makers.
Fry is professor of history at the University of Maryland and serves as vice president of the Association of African and African-American Folklorists, which she cofounded, and is a member of the American Folklore Society. She lectures throughout the United States and the world on African-American quilting and folklore and is presently working on several books, including Woven in Woe: Slave Weaving in the Antebellum South and In Them Days Everyone Wore Beads.
During her Athenaeum presentation, Fry will discuss the quilts of African Americans using slides and a quilt display. Please join us as we learn about these objects of beauty and power.
Making the New Eden: The Human Creative Spirit and the Movement to Save The Earth
Christopher Childs is a renowned author, photographer, and creator of seminars. As a national speaker for Greenpeace from 1988-96 he appeared on some three hundred college campuses. His inspirational book on the future of creative activism, The Spirit's Terrain: Creativity, Activism, and Transformation (1998), combines his extensive understanding of creativity with his experiences during a decade with the legendary Greenpeace. Childs has campaigned against lethal pollution and has been a consistent proponent for alternative energy sources. He has consulted on corporate productivity, debated nuclear testing with foreign diplomats, and even appeared on radio with Jerry Brown to argue against NAFTA. An active photographer as well, his work has appeared in E, the Royal Society of Canada's ECODECISION, and various Greenpeace publications.
Childs has also had a career as an actor, starring in PBS's Emmy Award winning Concealed Enemies. He has also appeared in a one man stage portrait of Thoreau, Clear Sky, Pure Light. He has performed with such renowned actors as Henry Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave.
His lecture will focus on "Making the New Eden: The Human Creative Spirit and the Movement to Save The Earth." Childs will share his personal perception of what it will take for the human experiment to be fulfilled. He will touch on the territories of reverence for the earth, of how to make fulfilling career choices, and of ecological issues.

Kim Richmond/Clay Jenkins Jazz Ensemble
KIM RICHMOND, saxophone
CLAY JENKINS, trumpet
BILL PERKINS, saxophone
DAVE SCOTT, piano
TREY HENRY, bass
JOE LABARBERA, drums
During the past decade, Kim Richmond and Clay Jenkins independently reached all-star status in California's West Coast Jazz scene. However, the history of popular music shows that collaboration, even among such outstanding musicians as Richmond and Jenkins, does not always prove exciting and fruitful. Despite many potential pitfalls, these co-leaders have blended their talents to produce in recent years one of America's most interesting and creative jazz ensembles. As their primary goal, the Richmond/Jenkins Sextet features pure improvisation, and listeners have responded very enthusiastically. Reviews of their performances sparkle with superlatives.
One cause for the group's success is its equally proficient supporting cast. The third-horn position is anchored by the legendary jazz saxophonist Bill Perkins, one of the most recorded and respected jazz improvisers currently practicing the art in Los Angeles. The all-star quality continues in the ensemble's rhythm section. Dave Scott is an inventive force on piano. Trey Henry is recognized as a rising-star among bass players, and Joe La Barbera is already established as one of the foremost drummers in contemporary jazz. Together, these four musicians provide much of the emotional communication, lyricism, and wonderfully creative contributions that characterize the Kim Richmond/ Clay Jenkins Sextet.
The ensemble has recorded two CDs: Range (1995) (Nine Winds) and Look at the Time (1999) (Chase Music Group). Both the collective efforts and the individual solos have received high praise from music critics.
Members of the sextet are also jazz teachers and have agreed to visit Claremont in that role as well. The evening's Athenaeum event marks the beginning of a series of music events aimed at revitalizing a CMC tradition of student jazz clubs and student bands. On February 10, the Richmond/Jenkins musicians will instruct the afternoon clinic and rehearse those CMC students interested in learning about jazz performance. The first numbers played at the Athenaeum event will feature a few student musicians from the afternoon clinic. Ashwin Navin '99 and economics professor Ron Teeples are helping to coordinate student participation in the clinic.
The Poet Reads from His Work
Eminent critic John T. Irwin and his alter ego, poet John Bricuth, have together forged one of the most remarkable careers in American letters. The author of Doubling and Incest/ Repetition and Revenge: A Speculative Reading of Faulkner (1996); American Hieroglyphics (1980); and Mystery to a Solution: Poe, Borges, and the Analytic Detective Story (1994), Irwin has won several prizes for his literary criticism and is one of the leading critics in the country. Bricuth has written two widely praised books of poetry: The Heisenberg Variations (1981) and Just Let Me Say This About That (1998). Of the latter book, critic John Barth wrote: "as strong and moving, funny and high-energetic and horrifically splendid a long poem as our language has been lately blessed with." J. M. Coetzee called it a "philosophical poem ... confronting the closing years of the American century with bleak hilarity and an unblinking eye."
Yet another prominent critic described Just Let Me Say This About That "like no other poem ever written-or else, all previous poems have been making toward it and meaning what it means. Ostensibly a record of a press conference (or conversation) at which a leader (or president) is questioned by his followers . . the poem begins in the midst of political-economic insecurities, passes into a dramatic consideration of the problem of evil and man's fated necessity to learn through loss, and concludes with the breakdown and renewal of the poet himself in the midst of all creation . . ."
Critic John T. Irwin and poet John Bricuth are one and the same person, Decker Professor in the Humanities and director of the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University.
This reading is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
In the Name of the People: The Slaying of Thomas Thompson
Los Angeles attorney and CMC alumnus Greg Long has had a long and prestigious career as a civil and trial lawyer. A partner at the Los Angeles firm Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, Long has practiced before state and federal courts on a number of different cases. In addition, he has acted as an arbitrator for the Los Angeles Superior Court and has been active with the American Bar Association. He has also been a member of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
Long was counsel for Tom Thompson during his long and much reported capital murder case. Long was asked to take over the case by a federal judge with respect to his federal habeus corpus proceedings that followed Thompson's conviction for capital murder in the Orange County Superior Court. For nine years, Long saw the case through many twists and turns. The district court overturned the murder conviction, only to have the charge reinstated on appeal. The federal circuit courts en banc ruling reversed the decision once more, but on appeal the U.S. Supreme Court by a 5-4 ruling reinstated the conviction shortly before Thompson was executed.
A 1970 graduate of CMC and a 1973 graduate of Harvard Law School, Long will speak on the tension between federal and state justice systems in the context of capital punishment cases. Please join us for Long's lecture on the slaying of Thomas Thompson. Dinner reservations are for CMC persons only.
Year of the Rabbit
0nce again it is time for the annual Lunar New Year celebration at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. Join us as we celebrate the Year of the Rabbit with traditional food, music, and dance. A dance ensemble from the Korean Dance Academy, directed by Mrs. Jung Im Lee, will perform traditional Korean folk dances, and Pomona College sophomore Chanlee Shieh will entertain with Chinese yo-yo dancing.
The Chinese lunar calendar is the longest chronological record in history, dating from 2637 B.C. when the first cycle of the zodiac was introduced. According to legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only twelve animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order that it arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar. Thus, we have the twelve animal signs of today. The animal ruling the year in which one is born exercises a profound influence on one's life. "This is the animal that hides in your heart."
The year of the Rabbit is welcomed as a placid year in which money can be made without much labor. Good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion works better than force. Those born during this year excel in the fields of law, politics, and government and tend to prosper in business.
Dinner reservations for this popular annual event are for CMC persons only.
The United States and Its Allies in World War II
Dean of Britain's military historians, Sir Michael Howard was formerly Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University and Robert Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University, from which he retired in 1993. His numerous publications include The Franco-Prussian War (1961), The Continental Commitment (1972), War and the Liberal Conscience (1978), The Causes of Wars (1983), Strategic Deception in the Second World War (1995), and The Lessons of History (1991). Most recently, he coedited The Oxford History of the Twentieth Century (1998).
Sir Michael was born in London and educated at Oxford. He served with the British Army in Italy during World War II; twice wounded, he was awarded the Military Cross. He taught at King's College, University in London, before moving to All Souls College, Oxford, in 1968. Sir Michael is president and founder of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (London), which soon became one of the world's leading organization of its kind. He is a fellow of the British Academy and a Foreign Corresponding Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Among his honors are the NATO Atlantic Award and the Paul Nitze Award (U.S. Center for Naval Analyses).
In his scholarship and teaching, Sir Michael Howard has specialized in modern European history. Above all, he has illustrated the wide compass of military affairs-from single battles to grand strategy, from plans to politics, from weapons to ideals and ideology, from immediate decisions to long periods of social and cultural development. In an age when political scientists and economists dominate think tanks, Sir Michael reminds us all that history is full of precedents, warnings and guidelines, that strategic theory always needs grounding in the past.
Sir Michael is the third guest invited by the CMC history department to inaugurate the William F. Podlich Distinguished Visitors Program, endowed by CMC alumnus and trustee William Podlich '66.
The Power of the Dream
Rudy Ruettiger, author and subject of the TRISTAR film, Rudy (1993), is a much sought-after motivational speaker. One of Notre Dame's most famous graduates, Ruettiger beat all odds to find a spot on the Fighting Irish football team, and his only play in a Notre Dame jersey earned him instant fame and stardom.
The son of a power plant worker and third of fourteen children, Ruettiger struggled to gain entrance into one of the nation's most prestigious universities, Notre Dame. He was admitted and miraculously found a place on the perennial powerhouse Fighting Irish football team. In the final twenty-seven seconds of the only play of the only game of his college football career, Ruettiger sacked the opposing team's quarterback. He is still the only Notre Dame player ever to be carried off the field on his teammates' shoulders.
Rudy transformed his success on the playing field into a lucrative career as a motivational speaker. His list of clients includes Xerox, Merrill Lynch, AT&T, Readers Digest, and the Air Force football team, to name a few. In 1993, his inspiring life story became the basis of the blockbuster TRISTAR movie, Rudy. He has also coauthored Rudy's Rules (1994), with sports columnist Mike Celizic and Tommy Lasorda, which details his ten principles for success in life.
The Athenaeum is pleased to host Rudy Ruettiger, whose lecture is cosponsored by the CMS Department of Athletics.

Comments about Kenda Nevegal RSR Wire Bead Tire:
These tires really do grip quite well. I never had trouble with them hooking up. They're pretty heavy, though, and for the climby xc riding that I do, I ended up being happier with a lighter tire. If I were to do some more gravity oriented riding, however, I'd definitely consider these again.

Shadow of the Silk Road
Shadow of the Silk Road (Paperback)
To travel the Silk Road, the greatest land route on earth, is to trace the passage not only of trade and armies but also of ideas, religions, and inventions. Making his way by local bus, truck, car, donkey cart, and camel, Colin Thubron covered some seven thousand miles in eight months—out of the heart of China into the mountains of Central Asia, across northern Afghanistan and the plains of Iran into Kurdish Turkey—and explored an ancient world in modern ferment.
About the Author
Colin Thubron is an acknowledged master of travel writing. His first books were about the Middle EastDamascus, Lebanon, and Cyprus. In 1982 he traveled in the Soviet Union, pursued by the KGB. From these early experiences developed his great travel books on the landmass that makes up Russia and Asia: Among the Russians; Behind the Wall: A Journey through China; The Lost Heart of Asia; In Siberia; and most recently, Shadow of the Silk Road.
Colin Thubron is an award-winning novelist as well as, arguably, the most admired travel writer of our time. He lives in London.

Blogging From Argentina - Page Three
Thursday, March 22, 2007
A Tour of Buenos Aires
Our tour began with a stop at the Plaza de Mayo, the center of the city. In addition to being surrounded by some of the Buenos Aires´ most famous buildings like the Catedral Metropolitana, Banco de la Nación (Nation's Bank) and the Casa Rosada (Pink Government House) the area continues to host many political events.
For example, every Thursday the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, a gathering of women who pray for their missing relatives from the 1980's military rule, come together.
Next as we headed to see the city´s barrios (neighborhoods- La Boca, Recoleta, Puerto Madero, San Telmo, Palermo, and El Centro), we passed by the Obelisco, Buenos Aires' famous monument, located on the world´s widest street,the Avenida 9 de Julio.
Although all the neighborhoods mentioned have something speacial about them, my personal favorite is San Telmo due its many artsy stores, indoor fleamarkets, old mansions, cafés, and bohemian nightlife. (On Sunday from 10am to 6pm, it is also a site of tango).
Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires´ port, was also really scenic and fun to see. I especially thought the two colonial ships ( the Corbeta Uruguay and the Fragata Sarmiento from the Argentine Armado) and the Puente de La Mujer ( an abstract bridge) were fascinating sites.
Our final visit was an excursión of the recoleta cemetary which holds bodies of once highly powerful individuals. One beloved soul resting in the cemetery is Eva Duarte de Peron, who more than 50 years after her death, is still a world icon.
How to cross the streets of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires Part II: Wrapping Up
1. Let's Tango: In Argentina, tango is a popular and traditional dance practiced by Porteños (natives). Our itinerary included lessons at a non-touristy tango club, followed by a performance from the tango orchestra at Fervor de Buenos Aires. Reservations can be made in advance and the cover charge is $10 pesos ($3 dollars). Also, as pointed out by a classmate, it must be acknowledged that Argentinean dance is more than just tango; there is also chamame, cuarteto, and Argentine Folk.
2. Performances: Buenos Aires has some impressive shows and I recommend reserving tickets online. We saw Circus - "Milagro", an acrobatic program 5 minutes from the B.A.U.E.N.
3. Visit recovered factories. We explored three: El Global, (a Balloon Factory), Chilavert Gráfica (a printing press), and Crometel, (a metal factory). We were able to visit these factories through the Argentine Autonomista Project (AAP), an organization, in Buenos Aires offering technical and financial assistance to recovered factories. AAP offers internships and organizes trips like ours.
4. Taking transportation: In Buenos Aires, it is really common to take the Subte, or metro. However, if you get intimidated by big crowds or are claustrophobic, take a Radio taxi (avoid non-radio cabs if possible, they don't pertain to an organization, thus there is no number to call for problems). My teacher Gloria got separated from her husband on the Subte. It was peak time and crowded; she pushed and yelled to get out but nobody let her off. By the time she got to the door, her only choice was to jump out of a moving train (some trains are old and have wooden doors).
5. Dollars for Pesos: Argentina is one country that will not burn a hole in the pockets of Americans; the exchange rate is 3: 1. Argentina uses the American dollar sign to price its items, thus if you see some crazy figure, divide it by three to get the real price in dollars. Also, whenever you get money back, hold it up to the light and look for a man's face, this will assure that it is not counterfeit.
6. Participate or watch Las Madres de La Plaza de Mayo: In 1976, the last military coup took over Argentina's government. One result of this was the Dirty War (referred to by Argentineans as The Genocide). The mothers still march every Thursday in protest, trying to find their missing sons and daughters, abducted by Argentine government during that time.
I hope you enjoyed taking the journey with us to Buenos Aires, it was the ultimate learning experience and I hope to return soon.

Jazz: An American Perspective
JAMES LINAHON, director, Fullerton College Jazz Band
SUNNY WILKINSON, vocals
The Fullerton College Jazz Band has been recognized across the United States as one of the nation's outstanding college jazz orchestras. Also known as Jazz Band #1, The Fullerton College Jazz Band is a consistent top performer at jazz festivals throughout the Western United States and is in constant demand for concerts in the Los Angeles area. They have appeared as featured artists at the Playboy and the Queen Mary, and have traveled to Berkeley, Denver, Santa Barbara, Reno, and Monterey. Their talents have taken them even as far as the Brisbane International Jazz Festivals.
Selected as the winner for the first ten-day Disney World/ International Association of Jazz Educators competition for College and University bands, Jazz Band #1 performed at Disney World in Orlando during the inaugural concerts. After a two-week tour for the U.S. State Department, they will be opening the 1995 Munich International Jazz Festival.
The Fullerton College Jazz Band's recording projects feature newly commissioned music by some of the top jazz writers in the world. Their CD releases include Soundtrack (1987) and Mainstream. Outstanding acclaim and international attention have come their way in the form of many "downbeat" and NARAS Awards. At the Athenaeum they will be joined by Sunny Wilkinson, an applauded vocalist who has worked with the Count Basie Band, Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass, Mark Murphy, and others. Wilkinson appears on the Fullerton Jazz Band's recording Soundtrack and has produced two solo CDs: Alegria (1990) and Sunny Wilkinson (1993).
Classical Indian Dance
For over 20 years, Pandya and Nair have been colleagues at the Darpana Academy of Performing Arts in Ahmedabad, India. Internationally recognized as two of the best Indian dancers and performers of our time, Pandya and Nair will present a discussion of the Natyshastra, the poetics of Indian performance and dance.
Kailash Pandya is one of the pioneers of contemporary theatre in India. By producing many experimental and original plays, he has helped many young writers to fame. Pandya's theatre career began 45 years ago as an actor, scriptwriter, and producer. His fascination with folk forms has had a dramatic influence on contemporary Indian theatre. As an actor and director of over 100 plays, Pandya has earned many awards, including the Gujarat State Drama Award, the Best Actor Award for the State, and the distinguished Sangeet Natak Akademi Award.
Nair is an internationally acclaimed dancer and master teacher who has performed his classical and folk dances across the globe. He has received special awards from Indira Gandhi, the Bombay Sangeeta Peedhom, and the Maharajah of Bhutan. With drum accompaniment by Milton Tatum, Nair will demonstrate the various styles of classical and folk dance from India, including kuchipudi, bharata natyam, and kathakali.
Criticism and the Common Reader
Robert Alter is one of those rare academics who is known both for erudite, impeccable scholarship and for the kind of wide-ranging cultural and literary commentary that reaches a broad reading audience. Professor of Hebrew and comparative literature at the University of California at Berkeley, Alter is the author of The Pleasures of Reading in an Ideological Age (1989); Partial Magic: The Novel as a Self-Conscious Gener (1978), The Art of Biblical Narrative (1983); and, together with Frank Kermode, The Literary Guide to the Bible (1990).
Alter has also published numerous articles in scholarly and lay journals alike, including Partisan Review, Commentary, The New Republic, and The New York Times Book Review. His honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, The National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Jerusalem. In addition to his distinction as a literary critic and scholar, Robert Alter is known as one of the liveliest and most independent-minded analysts of the current culture wars in American higher education.
America and the Holocaust Reconsidered: Looking Back from Bosnia and Rwanda
To what degree did Allied and especially American inaction aid and abet the Nazis' murder of six million European Jews and close to a million Gypsies? For 25 years after the end of World War II, it was a question hardly ever raised. The British and Americans were celebrated as liberators, pure and simple. Yet beginning in the late 1960s, Martin Gilbert, David Wyman, and numerous other scholars affected a revolution in our thinking. Antisemitism, global and domestic political considerations, and skepticism, they argued, prevented Allied governments from taking effective action against genocide. They made a strong and now generally accepted case that far more could have been done by the Allies to save Jewish lives from the Nazis. Robert Abzug will revisit this question in light of recent events in Rwanda and Bosnia.
Robert H. Abzug is professor of history and director of the American Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin. He has written about American visions of the Holocaust, antebellum American religion and reform, and he is currently writing a biography of the psychologist, Rollo May, that will focus on the interpenetration of religion and psychology in modern American culture. His books include Passionate Liberator: Theodore Dwight Weld and the Dilemma of Reform (1980), Inside the Vicious Heart: Americans and the Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps (1987), and Cosmos Crumbling: American Reform and the Religious Imagination (1994).
American Strategic Policy Under Reagan and After
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to present J.D. Crouch II, who will discuss strategic policy under Reagan and Bush and the legitimacy of strategic policy in its existence or nonexistence under the Clinton administration.
Crouch received his A.B. and M.A. in international relations at the University of Southern California and his Ph.D. in the USC Defense and Strategic Studies Program. Since August 1992 he has been a professor in the department of defense and strategic studies at Southwest Missouri State University. Crouch was special advisor to the assistant director for strategic programs of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, as well as advisor to the U.S. delegation to the nuclear and space arms talks for ACDA. He has served in the Senate as a legislative assistant to Senator Malcolm Wallop and was principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for international security policy from February 1990 to August 1992.
Two of his recent works are "The President and Nuclear Testing" (1982) in Global Affairs and "A National Missile Defense" (1993) in Comparative Strategy.
Fascism in Asia

Readings From Her Work
MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1994 4:00 p.m.
How to account for the fact that all my life I've been the child who says the Emperor is naked, while my brother never, not once, doubted or criticized authority?
Mind you, a talent for seeing the Emperor 's nakedness can mean his other qualities are not noticed
So Doris Lessing begins her new autobiography with the kind of trenchant and ironic inquiry into human character that has made her one of the most powerful and influential novelists of the twentieth century.
Lessing, born in Persia of British parents and raised in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), fled her adopted homeland in 1949, an exile opposed to white minority rule. She took with her the manuscript of The Grass is Singing, a disturbing story of racial strife in modern colonial South Africa. In 1950 this first novel was published in London where Lessing has lived ever since. She has published nearly thirty books: fiction, essays, journalism, poetry, and libretti. Her most acclaimed novels include A Proper Marriage (1954), Briefing for a Descent into Hell (1971), Shikasta (1979)- the first work in the "Canopus in Argus: Archives" series- and The Good Terrorist (1986). She is best known for her novel The Golden Notebook (1962), groundbreaking for its technical innovation, psychological depth, and sociological sweep. The work has had a profound influence on a generation of women. Lessing has written, "this novel was not a trumpet for Women's Liberation. It described many female emotions of aggression, hostility, resentment. It put them into print. Apparently what many women were thinking, feeling, experiencing, came as a great surprise."
The recipient of numerous honors, Lessing was named Distinguished Fellow in Literature in the School of English and American Studies by the University of East Anglia. Her latest books include the novel, The Fifth Child (1988), a collection of short stories, The Real Thing: Stories and Sketches (1992); and most recently, African Laughter: Four Visits to Zimbabwe (1992). The first volume of her autobiography, Under My Skin Volume One of My Autobiography, to 1949, will be published this fall.
Ms. Lessing will read from her work and looks forward to a lively discussion with students. The reading and questions will be followed by a book signing. Many of her books will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of Huntley bookstore. The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is honored to host this rare appearance by one of the world's most distinguished authors, who will speak in McKenna Auditorium at 4:00 p.m.
Science, Metascience, and Pseudoscience: Radio Carbon Dating Confronts Pliocene Man in the New World, Noah's Ark, and the Shroud of Turin
Dr. R. Ervin Taylor is professor of anthropology and director of the Radiocarbon Laboratory at the University of Southern California, Riverside. He received his Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the laboratory of William F. Libby, the Nobel Prize laureate for the discovery of the radiocarbon method. His research has focused on the application of dating and analytical techniques in archaeology, known as archaeometry, with particular emphasis on radiocarbon dating. In addition to many journal articles and book chapters, he is the author of Radio Carbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective (1987), and a coeditor of Radio Carbon After Four Decades: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (1992) and Chronologies in New World Archaelogy (1978). Taylor is past president and current general secretary of the Society of Archaelogical Sciences.
Have scientists found a man from the Pliocene era? Are fragments from Noah's Ark within an arechaeologist's grasp? Can one see the actual shroud that wrapped Jesus after the crucifixion? Come discover how carbon dating can decipher the mysteries of time in this program sponsored by Sigma Xi of the Keck Science Center.
Can Property Rights Be Justified?
Is the term "social justice" merely an empty phrase in the ongoing debate over how best to shape and implement public policy, or can it indeed bear meaningfully upon the design and execution of laws affecting the rights of individuals? This is one of the fundamental questions to which the Gould Center means to address itself in its Ethics, Economics, and Public Policy series, and to that end the center has engaged Dr. Alan Gewirth, one of the nation's preeminent moral philosophers, to discuss some of the issues indicated by such concerns. In counterpoint to the economist's position that John Roemer represented in the series's first lecture, Gewirth's talk will examine what persons' moral duties and corresponding rights are and, within the contexts of economic realities, explore the implication of these moral duties and rights for the formulation of economic policy.
Dr. Gewirth, a past president of the American Philosophical Association, is the E. C. Waller Distinguished Service Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. Representing some of his many contributions to the study of social theory and practice are his books Reason and Morality (1980), Human Rights: Essays on Justification and Applications (1983), and the forthcoming The Community of Rights.
We hope you will be able to take advantage of this opportunity to hear a moral/philosophical slant on the foundation of institutions and policies that affect us all. All are welcome; students, especially so.
Suites No. 1 in G Major and No. 3 in C Major
by Johann Sebastian Bach
DANIEL GAISFORD, cello
In just a few seasons 29-year-old Daniel Gaisford has emerged as one of the most talked-about young cellists in North America, having earned high regard based on a rare combination of dazzling technique, charismatic performing style, and fierce dedication to the highest artistic standards.
Highlights of Gaisford's impressive career include debuts with the Saint Louis, Utah, and Toronto symphony orchestras. Having studied with the Young Artists' Program at the University of Southern California and at the Juilliard School in New York City, Gaisford has given solo performances in Town Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts' Alice Tully Hall. Looking ahead to 1995, Gaisford will make his debut with the Seattle Symphony, under the baton of the eminent British conductor, Mark Elder, followed by performances with orchestras throughout the country, including the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, and the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. His recital engagements include a prestigious debut at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.
Gaisford brings to the Athenaeum two unaccompanied suites by Johann Sebastian Bach: No. 1 in G Major (1720) and No. 3 in C Major (1720). He performs in partnership with his rare 1706 Goffriller cello, one of the Venetian masters' finest instruments- a cello equivalent to a Stradivari or Guarneri.
This evening's program is the second of four concerts in the Stotsenberg Chamber Music Series, funded by a gift from the Mary Pickford Foundation.

Applying for disability can seem like an intimidating process. Many people believe that the Social Security Administration (SSA) will turn you down a few times before you get approved, but this is not true. 30% of applicants get approved on their initial application and following these simple steps can increase your chances of being in this 30%.
You should apply for disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. It can take a long time to process an application for benefits (three to five months depending on your state) so do not delay when applying.
Caring Voice Coalition offers free disability assistance to PH patients.
It is strongly advised that you retain a lawyer or non-lawyer representative to help you through the process. They should be able to help you present evidence and testimony in a persuasive and organized fashion. Although the hearings are not very technical, it is best to put on a presentation rather than just answering questions.
Start keeping detailed records that recount your personal experience with pulmonary hypertension, or any other debilitating disease:
While you are recording your personal experience, you should also be gathering additional information to submit in the disability application. You will need:
When you are filling out your application, remember that you are putting a presentation together and not just answering questions. Here are a few tips:
Did you know…
In-office interviews are being phased out, and online and telephone intake do not allow for much opportunity to provide information beyond what is asked. To provide additional information, you will need to take advantage of the follow-up paperwork you are asked to complete. That is your opportunity to tell your story. Don't forget to add extra sheets as needed as you try to paint a realistic picture of what your daily life is like.
If you have high speed internet access and reasonable writing skills, then the best way to file is online. If you complete your own online application, you know exactly what is in it and you are not under time constraints. If you have difficulty navigating the website, or with writing things down, try to find someone with those skills to help.
If you'd rather not file online, call the national toll-free number (800)772-1213 or your local Social Security office to schedule an appointment to apply over the phone or in office. After your appointment, you will get a copy of the report they submit with your application. Be sure to read the entire report and if there are errors, refuse to sign it until those errors are corrected.
Start your SSD application now
After anyone else has helped you fill out forms, whether it's SSA or a representative like Caring Voice Coalition, ask Social Security for printouts of everything that was submitted right away. Then proofread them carefully to make sure the written reports match the truth of your case and include all medical evidence about your condition.
Regardless of how astute and professional your representative is, there is still room for misinterpretation between what you say and what someone else hears. Take the trouble to get it right before the evaluation begins. It will save far more time, effort and delay down the road.

Social Security Handbook on the Web includes the provisions of the Social Security Act, regulations issued under the Act, and precedential case decisions (rulings). It is a readable, easy to understand resource for the complex Social Security programs and services.
Caring Voice Coalition has free programs to help patients with insurance reimbursement, financial assistance, patient support services, public advocacy, and the SSD application and appeals process.

Comments about Shimano XTR M985 Oe Crankset:
4 stars only because of limited compatibility.
88 mm BCD chainrings avail only from Shimano so you are limited to their sizes.
I'm running mine as a single with a chainguide on an Enduro bike which required a creative set up because of the different chain line on double ring cranks.
If you want to run a single ring with a chain guide, get the M980.
Otherwise, excellent quality.

As Letterman revisited the past, he also decided to talk about the last time Bieber was on the show and how the conversation got so intense the pop-idol broke down.
"The last time he was on, he and I got into a conversation," Letterman began. "And I made him cry."
"Well, then that makes two of us," Gomez said to a cheering audience.
The two then fist bumped and cracked up laughing. I guess that settles it, Letterman is on Team Selena.
