Glad to see Anderson getting so much playing time today, maybe he'll start??
Glad to see Anderson getting so much playing time today, maybe he'll start??
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Not saying he is bad at all b he just made 2,
But with rivers style of play he is going to live at the FT line. Needs to be great at that.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Great quickness from Rivers there. Forced Wade to hook to get around him.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Rivers has looked good offensively the last couple of possessions. Wade is killing him on the other end, though (as expected).
That's the second time this preseason I've seen Rivers bust out the floater; he displayed it more in college, and it's nice.
We really look competent, people.
Great close out d on the 3 ball Darius.
Tied at half people!
If Aminu would just stay agressive on both ends all else will follow.
Especially with the type of play Davis made. He had two players hassling him from either side, with about half of the court to run.
But this argument is going nowhere, so lets agree to disagree.
And yeah, Lamar doesn't really count. He's a very unique player.

I absolutely love what I'm seeing from Rivers, Aminu, and Miller so far. Aminu/Miller will be our two SFs this year. I don't think we pick up Henry's option, and I've been pulling for him, but Monty isn't even playing him.
Whaaaat? Bill Simmons is doing NBA countdown all year?? Awesome, only good thing about ESPN is Grantland.

GARETH DUNCAN writes a 30 000-strong crowd is expected on the second day of the PE Sevens, but the hype of 'rugby's biggest party' is still missing.
High expectations were created with all the PE Sevens propaganda that hit the streets and was broadcasted all over the media and social networks over the last several weeks. 'Rugby's biggest party' is what tournament organisers dubbed the inaugural event hosted in the Eastern Cape city. However, despite the Blitzboks' great form, the support shown by most South African sports stars, the warmer weather on day two and entertainment provided, the expected overall atmosphere was just not there.
Maybe the Nelson Mandela Stadium was too big or too much hype was created? Maybe it was the lack of enthusiasm when the home team wasn't on the field? Maybe it's the fact that South Africans will never care about sevens like it embraces 15s? Maybe Saffas don't take a liking to the idea of day-long rugga party? Whatever the reason may be – I was left wanting more.
Hong Kong and its 40 000-seater national stadium is considered the Mecca of sevens rugby, simply because the party does not stop. It's the benchmark all tournaments measure themselves up against. PE's display was well short of the standards set by the World Series most celebrated event.
Only about 8000 fans showed up in PE on day one. With Friday being a working day, that was the excuse used for the disappointing turnout. Only about 5000 fans remained for the last match between South African and Australia. A mixture between cold and rainy weather and disinterest was the reason for the lost spectators.
On day two, 25 000 people were present just before Blitzboks entered the field for the first match. A huge improvement from day one – but their presence was only felt when the Springbok Sevens were on the field. During the other fixtures, only a small contingent of fans could be heard while there was the odd cheer for a spectacular try. There were also other small issues that spoilt the day – with the toilet water supply dried up, lack of food and the security guards' lack of knowledge affecting service delivery.
George, with it's smaller ground compared to the 49 500-seater Nelson Mandela Stadium, proved to be a bigger and better festival during its nine years of hosting the South African leg. There is also that strong feeling that Cape Town could've presented a better tournament at its World Cup stadium – but that of course, is just speculation.
If the PE Sevens is to become a success, new innovations must be implemented to grow interest and to live up to the hype created heading into this weekend. Maybe provide better entertainment? Maybe organise top prizes or invite celebrities as draw cards? Maybe make ticket prices more affordable? Anything to add greater effect.
The harsh reality is that the first attempt was a flop – whether the Blitzboks win or not. It was not 'rugby's biggest party' that we believed it would be. But it doesn't mean it will be a disappointment for the following three years. Lessons must be learnt heading forward and more work needs to be done. There should not be that feeling of wanting more.

Brooke Pahukoa leads Lake Stevens to semis
Vikings senior scores 34 as Lake beats Kentwood 52-36
Pahukoa, who still wears protective tape around her pinky and ring fingers during games, scored 34 points in the Vikings' 52-36 victory over Kentwood in Thursday night's Class 4A state tournament opener at the Tacoma Dome. It is the second-best total of her four-year Lake Stevens career (she had a school-record 42 points vs. Marysville-Pilchuck in November), and is also a school state-tournament mark.
Pahukoa, a 5-foot-9 senior guard who will play next season at Boise State University, had 22 of her points in the first half as the Vikings built a double-digit lead they kept the rest of the way.
Lake Stevens breezed through the second half, never letting Kentwood get closer than 11 points, to reach tonight's 7:15 p.m. semifinal showdown with Western Conference rival Arlington.
"The last week and a half my finger has felt really good," Pahukoa said. "Probably the best it's felt (since her injury). And it feels great right now.
"Maybe a fractured pinky helped me a little bit," she added with a laugh.
Pahukoa dislocated her finger in a Dec. 29 game against Lewis and Clark. She missed six games before returning in late January, and since her return the Vikings have gone 10-1, losing only to Lynnwood at the district tournament.
Against Kentwood, a team that beat Lynnwood in a double-overtime regional playoff game last weekend, Pahukoa converted 13 of 24 field goal attempts with one 3-pointer, and she added seven of eight free throw tries.
Pahukoa, who also grabbed eight rebounds, scored her 22 first-half points in an 11-minute stretch of the first and second periods.
"From the beginning (of the game), I felt very confident with my shot," Pahukoa said. "That was nice to have. I try to do what the team needs me to do, but I just felt very confident (shooting).
"It was," she said, "one of those days when the rim was just huge."
"She was spectacular," Vikings coach Randall Edens said of Pahukoa. "She was in such a rhythm, I don't know that there was much Kentwood could do (to stop her)."
Pahukoa's ability to attack defenses and create shots "is what makes her a remarkable player," he said. "And the best part is, our other kids recognize when she's got it going like that.
"We'll still run offense … but if the ball gets back to her, she goes and makes a play. And none of the other girls are going to think she's being selfish. When she's got it going like that, you let her keep going."
The rest of the Vikings, meanwhile, filled in capably in other ways, particularly at the defensive end. Lake Stevens pestered Kentwood into 17 turnovers and held the Conquerors to just .317 percent (13-for-41) from the field.
"We played really well," Edens said. "I think that's the most relaxed we've been coming into a game, in terms of this environment (at state). That was something you could tell right away. We were ready to go and it was a lot of fun."
The Vikings are looking forward to tonight's game against neighboring Arlington. The teams split their two-game season series.
"It's such an exciting thing for both programs, knowing one or the other is going to get to the title game," Edens said. "What a spectacular thing for our league.
"It's going to be a lot of fun," he added. "Arlington is certainly going to be really well prepared, but it helps us because we know what they're going to bring. … There will be a lot of comfort for both sides."
This is the seventh trip to state in eight seasons for Edens as the Lake Stevens head coach, and it is the first time one of his teams has reached the semifinals.
"The best part is, with the season we've had and regardless of what happens the rest of the way, we're walking away with a trophy," he said.
"We didn't win the league, we didn't win the district title, we had to go the long road (with extra playoff games to reach state, following the district loss to Lynnwood), but here we are with the chance to try to get to a title, and that's pretty exciting."
At Tacoma Dome
Kentwood 10 8 11 7 -- 36
Lake Stevens 23 11 10 8 -- 52

LAKE TAHOE - The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency will release the final draft of the long-awaited Regional Plan Update during a two-day Governing Board meeting this week.
The plan will guide development in the Lake Tahoe Basin for the next twenty years.
The meeting started Wednesday at the North Tahoe Event Center in Kings Beach and continues Thursday at Harveys Lake Tahoe in Stateline. Both meetings include a rollout of the final 2011 Threshold Evaluation Report and amendments, the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan Updated Goals and Policies and Final Code of Ordinances, as well as the final regional plan environmental documents, according to a statement from TRPA.
Public comment will be taken at the start and end of the meetings, which are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. A copy of the Governing Board agenda and packet are available at www.trpa.org.
The agency's November meeting will focus on taking public comment on the documents, according to TRPA. The Governing Board is scheduled to take action on the Regional Plan Update at its Dec. 12 meeting.
All Regional Plan Update final documents will be available on the TRPA website starting Wednesday.
TRPA staff will also have thumb drives containing the documents available at the October meeting for $15 each. Payments must be made in cash.

Organizers are stoking the engine for the Pickens County Relay for Life with a meeting planned for Oct. 21.
The Relay for Life is the major fund raiser run by the American Cancer Society in localities around the nation. The money goes toward research, advocacy and support operations for cancer victims.
Pickens County's Relay is planned currently for the first weekend in May, and Lois Porter, a two-time cancer survivor whose sister was recently diagnosed with her same kind of breast cancer, is ready to get things going immediately.
Porter will be one of the committee members meeting Oct. 21 at the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library in Easley, looking for ways to expand the county organization's effort to support the ACS.
"The meeting is a planning session for the Jan. 13 kickoff of the campaign," Porter said. The committee, led by Katrina Anderson, will be looking for new ideas and volunteers for logistics, team building and organization of the survivor dinner plus many other aspects of the effort.
"We are hoping for 100 percent participation from schools," Porter said. She also sees room for more participation by area churches and family groups.
Last May, 33 teams from across the county gathered on the football field at the old Liberty High School, turned up the music. They created an atmosphere that ranged from memorial service for cancer victims to celebration for survivors. The event included praying and dancing along with antics to raise awareness and money.
Student groups supported teachers who survived cancer. Doctors offices came out to show support for patience and staffers acknowledging that the disease is a respecter of no one.
Porter invited anyone interested to come to the Oct. 21 meeting at the library at 6 p.m.
"Bring your ideas." she said.

I would suggest Anais Anais by Cacharel, which would be appropreate for a thirteen year old. Later in the teens she can graduate to other scents. Anais Anais is very pleasant and IMO a young yet sophisticated fragrance.
Hello ladies,
I found one previous thread on this topic, for Offscenter's 11 year-old daughter, but mine will be thirteen soon, so I thought it might be worth asking afresh.
However, she is a) not going to be smelling like a girl beyond her years, and b) wearing anything her mother will disapprove of. I should say that her mum has happily worn Chanel No 5 herself, but still, I am looking to earn brownie points here.
Originally, I thought I'd just pass on some samplers I'd tried, like Carnal Flower, 24 Faubourg, Kelly Caleche, so she could try a few different smells. But it's since occurred to me she might benefit from being a little older before trying some of those.
I'm now thinking Miss Dior Cherie, for example.
Simple. Uncomplicated. Chaste.
I'm not so much looking for a load of different ideas, rather just some reassurance that this would be a good first scent to make her feel sufficiently grown-up and sophisticated (she is mature and independent for her age) on her thirteenth birthday.
Measure twice. Cut once.
I would suggest Anais Anais by Cacharel, which would be appropreate for a thirteen year old. Later in the teens she can graduate to other scents. Anais Anais is very pleasant and IMO a young yet sophisticated fragrance.
Petal by Cynthia Rowley
Petal is a fragrance for girls, made as a pair to the recently introduced Flower perfume. These two fragrances are created for mother and daughter. Frank Voelkl and Richard Herpin are the noses behind Petal, which is full of flower essences. This innocent and green floral scent is bathed in notes of lily of the valley. The bottle has the same shape as the Flower perfume, made of glass; romantic, youthful and pink.
(Description is taken from Fragrantica )

My sale thread :http://www.basenotes.net/search.php?searchid=2281122
"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."
-- Martin Buber
I think Miss Dior Cherie would be a good choice, and Anais Anais is another good suggestion. For my part I think Nina by Nina Ricci is a lovely scent for a young girl. It's a sweet fruity floral with just a hint of sharpness to it to make it a bit more interesting and sophisticated. Great bottle as well.
I should perhaps point out that Nina Ricci scents were the first 'proper' fragrances I fell in love with as a teen, so I'm probably biased!
My daughter "just" celebrated her 13th birthday a few days ago.
So I asked her what she would suggest: Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Limited Edition "G" (notes of green apple, watermellon, raspberry) & Tous in Heaven Her (It has top notes of green apple and pineapple, heart notes of red fruits, tiare, white peony, and a base of white musk).
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men. ~Herman Melville
I'm going to suggest one of the Benefit fragrances being sold at Sephora: Lookin' To Rock Rita, a very nice fig + coconut fragrance that is not unlike Premier Figuier.
Not too expensive, either-- the youthful and attractive 1 oz. bottle is $36.
Top Notes
Lemon, Coconut, Freesia.
Middle Notes
Juicy fig, Hyacinth, Violet.
Base Notes
Sandalwood, Rosewood, Vanilla.
The other fragrances are listed here:
My own daughter is 14 and likes to wear Emma by Aerie (America Eagle). It is being discontinued, however.
The packaging may be tacky but the eponymous Juicy Couture is a superb rendition of a youthful tuberose. Definitely worth a try.

I think your idea of Miss Dior Cherie is perfect! It's sweet and pretty and youthful, but it's not for little girls - it's actually very well-crafted and many seasoned perfumistas right here on Basenotes enjoy it. Plus, it's Dior so it should make her feel very sophisticated and ladylike.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
It came to my mind:
Princess - Vera Wang
Delices - Cartier
In Black - Jesus Del Pozo
Wow! Thanks so much for all the replies. All in a few hours too - I feel a bit overwhelmed!
Right, I think I am definitely going to give Miss Dior Cherie and Anais Anais a good sniff. I will probably go for something mainstream, because I want her to recognise what she gets and enhance my brownie-pointage. Niche stuff can wait until she's older.
I will look into all suggestions, however, and keep this thread saved for future reference (and birthdays).
Thanks again for all the replies, I'm really touched. She lives with her mum in Australia, you see, so it's really a big deal for me to get presents right.
If I went for Miss Dior, any opinions on EDP over EDT? EDP too much??

Please, make no mistake, you need Miss Dior Chérie,If I went for Miss Dior, any opinions on EDP over EDT? EDP too much??
the classic Miss Dior is NOT teen friendly!
I'd say the EdP is better ... but, then again, the EdT could do, too.
Miss Dior Chérie L'Eau would also be a good choise!
I would go with the edt just in case she has the tendency to apply lavishly, but you know her best. If you think she'd respect the greater potency of the edp then it would be a very nice choice.
Either way, I'm sure she'll love it. Please let us know how it goes!

Why not have a girly mum and daughter day out. Give her a lunch and perfume voucher and then she can spend the afternoon with you trying testers and finding something that she likes. Perfume is so personal, even at a young age. I did something similar with my 14 year old this year and plan to make it an annual occurance.
I gave Miss Dior Cherie to my niece when she was 13 and she LOVED it. Other hits with her since (she's 16 now) have been Daisy, Feerie and Vanille-Abricot.
Measure twice. Cut once.
What first came to mind was J'adore,but Miss Dior Cherie is also a good suggestion.
Totally agree with the suggestion of Miss Dior Cherie by Christian Dior, it would be my first choice. Another excellent one for someone that age would be Petite Cherie by Annick Goutal.
Thank you everyone once again for all your kind comments and suggestions. This thread is definitely going in the keep net.
Out of interest, I wonder how different recommendations would be were she turning 16??
Measure twice. Cut once.
Love Chloe is beautiful .
Jo Malone- Honeysuckle and Jasmine, Vanille & Anise.
Penhaligon's Bluebell .
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Pamplemousse, I'm going to agree with you and everyone else who has said Miss Dior Cherie is perfect for 13. For 16, how about introducing Chanel No. 5, or No. 22?
A second for Juicy Couture.
Also, get her into Guerlain with this--made for young women:
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
At 16 I wanted my daughter to have her own perfume and she wanted Black Cashmere by Donna Karen. I was surprised, but she only had my samples to learn anything about perfume, so she chose that one! Now if she'd only wear it...
I'd give her some samples to try. Maybe she would even like Tea for two by Artistian. Young girls like clean spice too. Just a thought.
(seems like vintage L'origan was made just for me)
I agree with Eliza. A 16 year old is likely to have some strong preferences, but their preferences are also liable to change radically over a short space of time. Samples are the way to go, or else buy small bottles (30ml or less).
I will now go and contradict all that by saying that worth trying, IMHO, would be Coco Mademoiselle, Chance Eau Tendre or Daisy.
Yes, Anais Anais is a very good choice for a young lady just starting to discover fragrance. It is very feminine. I would also suggest Jessica McClintock's signature scent. This has strong notes of lily of the valley, but it is in the same class as Anais Anais. Good Luck!
I would also suggest Ralph by Ralph Lauren. This is very light.
For 16 I would suggest Chanel's Cristalle.
Yes, maybe too green at first, but not at its heart notes. As Devilcat said, teens have strong preferences that change overnight. And I don't like too-heavy smells on teens that make them beyond their years. To me Cristalle is sophisticated enough without being too invasive. I think that's something a teen may grow to like.
I loved guerlain insolence for a young girl. Beautiful, soft and respectable. Have a smell one day.
I think of sweet and heavy scents, you know
like Britney and Paris' fragrances, or Miss Dior
Chérie; Hypnotic Poison ... ect.
Cristalle is for grown ups, but hey, who am I
to say teen will not like it?!
To each his/her own ... I have Cristalle in my
collection, but God knows that I'm no teen..!
Blue Waltz....Discreet, chaste and wonderfully sweet. The only fragrance I would recommend for 13-somethings....
"It's not the scent that recalls the person; it's the person who recalls the scent"
I was surprised when I allowed my teen daughter to go wild in my collection and choose a few things she liked- she went straight for Coco EDP. I couldn't believe she went past the fruity florals and gourmands. After I decided Coco was a little too mature for her to wear daily, she settled for Lolita Lempicka.
May throw in a few samplers too. Kelly Caleche would be fine (it's candy-sweet, and I don't like it), but is Carnal Flower really considered, well, carnal? I have a Shalimar too, but that's a bit grown-up I think. And by that, I mean, mature woman, even though I know it is considered a classic. Really like the 24, Faubourg but, as Jilly Cooper's favourite smell, perhaps I'll save it.
Primrose, thanks for the Guerlain link - I will see if I can get a sample of that. I was at John Lewis today and spotted the Guerlain stand unattended. Quick squirt of Heritage and I was on my way. Heh.
Had also thought about Coco Mademoiselle, but will get around to trying all those mentioned I can get hold of, sooner or later.
Thanks again for all replies.
Oh, and to whoever (Grant?) put my original post on the home page!
Measure twice. Cut once.
Hope your daughter has a great birthday! Let us know what she thinks of Miss Dior Cherie.
My 14 year old loves and owns:
Miss Dior Cherie
Marc Jacobs Daisy
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Abricot
CB I Hate Perfume Strawberry & Pineapple single accords (so gentle & mild, I love her in these! I've ordered Dandelion & Wild Violet accords for her as she liked the samples of those as well)
Annick Goutal Petite Cherie
L'Artisan Parfumeur Drole de Rose
Clean Shower Fresh, Warm Cotton, Ultimate
I think she also liked one of the Juicy perfumes but I find their advertising/concept/name is just not something a 14 year old girl needs to embrace so I didn't encourage it. Tacky, and frankly they grow up soon enough.
I'm also thinking Cristalle is something she might appreciate when she is older. Anais Anais is a lot stronger than I recall and has been reformulated, it's not what it once was and I cannot imagine either of my girls liking it, but maybe sample first.

I vote for Vera Wang Princess, they love the pretty bottle too! I got my grandaughter one and she just raves about it and she is thirteen going on 21!
At 13, she's still of the age where a girly bottle will be most appreciated. Feerie, Daisy, or MJ Lola all are age-appropriate scents with super cute bottles. Best of luck to you!!
Tommy Girl is classy but age-appropriate and very easy to find.
I think miss Dior Cherie is a good choice.
I also would recommend Eau de Moiselle - Givenchy. I like it a lot, very nice and king.
What about
Gucci Flora
Britney Circus Fantasy
Pink Sugar by Aquolina
Harajuku Lovers G
Tracy by Ellen Tracy
Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Clinique Happy

I LOVE this. And it's almost impossible to overapply, which, I think, is probably good for 13 year olds. Or would have been for me, anyway.
Its kiiiiiiiiiind of like Pink Sugar but a lot more relaxed and warm. Whereas Pink Sugar is fluorescent and burny, it's sunny and almondy.
It's also not TOO sweet. More comforting than sugar rush.
Oh.. she is a lil angel.. herself has a fragrance.. she may like to have sweet cute lovely fragrance herself.. lil kids are very innocent with their smile.. no need any artificial fragrances..
I am glad that finally someone mentions Flora by Gucci.
L'air du temps by Nina Ricci
Eau Premiere by Chanel
Nuits de NoHo by Bond No. 9
Light Blue by Dolce and Gabana
Ninfeo Mio by Annick Goutal
Je reviens by Worth
A thirteen year old will not use up a bottle so soon and then still have a good starter perfume at the age of 14.
Has anyone mentioned Miss Boucheron? A floral marketed to young women in a playful pink bottle with a green cap!

Scouting Report-Spikes is what you imagine when you look at a prototypical NFL inside linebacker. He's big and he's thick and he's strong. He's got power in his legs and can engage and move lineman around. His strength is in run support. He can diagnose a play, runs at a high level on every play and looks like he is always around the football. He's on par with Alabama's Rolando McClain in terms of his aggressiveness and ability to play the run. In the same vein he's a contrast on the other side. For everything he does right in run support, he struggles in pass protection. He's not a real flexible and it really shows in coverage. He's not fast enough to make up for it, so he looks a step behind when he can to work in man coverage, and he really needs to work on his zone coverage, because he looks lost at times and doesn't seem to be able to find his way. But let me say this. I don't think there are any shortcomings to Spikes game in coverage that cannot be either coached up or accounted for in the scheme. He just isn't that fast, and you can't change that. A kid with his level of intensity and aggression needs to be on the field. I suppose I should mention the famous eye gouge. Yeah, it was a stupid move on his part. Do I think it makes him some sort of malcontent or a problem? Nope. There, I mentioned it.
Draft Status-Typically a guy who's inside linebcker only and really that's what Spikes is, has a hard time finding his way to the first round. I think he has the talent to be a first round pick, but I doubt any team takes a shot in him there. But even with the emergence of TCU's Darryl Washington, I think Spikes is a good fit in the 2nd round, especially to a team like Kansas City with multiple 2nd round picks and in desperate need of a big physical ILB for that 3-4 defense.
Final Analysis-You can't discount how productive Spikes has been the past 2 seasons. He's shown himself to be a leader on a very talented University of Florida defense and a legitimate NFL prospect. At this point, teams have to look at Spikes as a 2 down linebacker, who would excel in run support, but will need to work hard on pass coverage. Spikes is a big guy, and probably won't wow people at the Combine with his 40 time or his other traingle numbers. That will scare some teams, especially in a day and age that the league covets speed so much. And you figure in that he's really only an inside player, and you cut a few more teams out of the mix. But in the final analysis, stopping the run is still vital to a team's success and Spikes has all those tools that you look for. He's big and strong and aggressive and a great tackler. He's durable and smart and never gives up on the play. And one thing too is he's a very good tackler, which is rare in the NFL. And let me add this. Spikes isn't awful in coverage. He just isn't fluid. As I said above, his upside is enormous and I really don't see anything in his game that he struggles with that cannot be improved on.
Reminds me of: Curtis Lofton, MLB Atlanta falcons-While Spikes is a bit taller, both are stocky, thick guys who really dominate the run game, make lots of tackles, and don't work much in coverage.

RepairPal Verified 2004 Hummer H2 Problem Reports
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) temperature and/or air delivery mode door actuator may fail, resulting in improper temperature or air delivery. If this occurs, fault code(s) should be stored in the HVAC control module which should assist in diagnoses.
One or both secondary air injection check valves may become restricted causing poor air flow resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light. It is often recommend to replace both check valves even if a fault code is set for only one bank of cylinders. Replacing only one valve may result in a return trip to the repair shop.
A clicking noise may be noted from the turn signal flasher after the turn signals are switched off. This is commonly cause by a faulty turn signal switch which will require replacement.
The battery may leak acid at the battery cable connections. As a result corrosion may form on the battery cable ends. Leaking batteries should be replaced and the cables need to be thoroughly cleaned or replaced if necessary.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) pump may stay running after the ignition is turned off causing the battery to go dead. Our technicians tell us that the ABS control module should be replaced to correct this fault.
Units with 4 wheel disk brakes may develop at situation where the park brake does not hold as it should. Our technicians tell us this can be caused by worn park brake shoes located inside the drum section of the rear brake disks. The worn shoes should be replaced and properly adjusted to correct this issue.
The CD player may fail due to an internal fault with the radio. Our technicians tell us that in most cases, the radio unit will need to be sent to a specialty repair shop to correct this issue.
A dirty throttle body may cause a lower than normal idle and possible stalling condition. Performing a throttle body service will commonly correct this concern.
It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart.
The steering wheel position sensor may fail, resulting in the service stability message being displayed.

While the Springboks have progressed to No 2 in the world rankings, Heyneke Meyer has conceded that it will be some time before they catch the trend-setting All Blacks.
The Boks got close in Dunedin if you remember that 21 points went begging due to wayward goal-kicking. They were in Saturday's match at Soccer City at half-time, and even enjoyed a 16-12 lead, until the All Blacks scored 20 unanswered points.
Meyer lamented the 'soft moments' that contributed to the Boks' defeat, but was also quick to point out that this is a special All Blacks side. In Meyer's opinion, the gap between the sides ranked No 1 and 2 in the world is bigger than most believe.
'They were excellent tonight, they took their opportunities and once they got ahead, they began to control the game,' said Meyer. 'They were the much better team.
'I thought Dan Carter was superb. He showed his experience by kicking in behind us and forcing us to counter-attack. And that led to errors, which they punished.
'I think that's the big difference between them and any other side in the world. If you give them half a chance, they take it.'
The Boks have finished the Rugby Championship with a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses. Nevertheless, Meyer has lifted the team from No 4 to No 2 in the world.
Meyer also feels that the team has progressed in spite of the spate of injuries and absence of many first-choice players.
'We will never be happy with a loss, we have high standards, but we have to be realistic. There are six guys in the team who are 20 or 21 years old. We had two No 10s who haven't played a lot of Tests, and they were up against Carter today. I believe they will be better for that experience.
'We have a long way to go. I'm happy that we've gone from No 4 in the world to No 2, but there is a big difference between No 1 and No 2. If you look at where the All Blacks are, there is so much experience that even if they play badly, one or two guys can still pull them through.
'It's going to take a special team to beat them. Someone will need to catch them on an off-day. We thought we did in Dunedin, but then we didn't capitalise on our opportunities.
'Today wasn't good enough, but I really believe there are some future greats in this team. The group believes in me and where we are going as a team.'
As dire as the injury situation is, Meyer may have even fewer players at his disposal for the end-of-year tour.
The Boks will return to their provinces for the Currie Cup next week, and the Bok coach is worried that even more of his charges will succumb to injury.
'I can't say that I will blood youngsters on the end-of-year tour, because there really aren't any more youngsters left to blood,' he said. 'The players will go back to the Currie Cup now and that makes it difficult to plan because I don't know who is going to be available for that tour.'

. . . 1 > Prehistoric Preamble
For a million years now, more or less, the human race has lived and died within the context of the much larger struggle to survive. The world then, and until very recently, was a very different place from the comfy and cozy civilized world we all enjoy today. Only slowly, oh so *very* slowly, inch by agonizing inch, did humankind gain ground in the never-ending war against this sometimes hostile, always uncaring, and often frightening world that constitutes the universal boundaries of all human life. Only by developing their prehistoric languages, cultures, and technologies did those small bands of hunters and gatherers increase their practical knowledge of nature and the cosmos. There was much nonsensical "filling in of the blanks", to be sure, but every reliable gain in thought or technique helped enormously to improve the general quality of life. Reliance upon mere luck and chance (ie. the awesome capriciousness of the natural world) decreased as human beings became more and more adept at dealing with this surprisingly complex world.
Therefore knowledge (as Hobbes so rightly observed) is power. For the human race in prehistoric times, true and practical knowledge (born of reasoning and necessity) meant the power to survive, to understand the strange ways of the world, to predict events and processes, even to control things somewhat, and even (in some small measure) to subdue nature. And finally, knowledge gave the power to thrive and prosper; even in the face of 'nature red in tooth and nail and claw'. But it took hundreds of thousands of years for men to gain enough knowledge to realize that there was an alternative to the nomadic and predatory way of life that was the alpha and omega defining all the possibilities of our prehistoric predecessors.
. . . 2 > On History as Collective Memory
And once people finally settled down and began to cultivate the land in earnest, knowledge also began to grow in abundance, with the result that culture and technology advanced and developed at an ever-increasing rate. Villages became towns, and towns became cities, and in those small and fortified cities languages grew in complexity, and soon words, numbers, objects (and even ideas) came to be expressed in non-verbal signs and symbols. And with the emergence of writing, History was born; at first with little or no awareness of its ultimate meaning or potential.
But even then History functioned as the eyes and ears (and memory) of the human race. At first its vision was weak and limited, for it could not see much more than lists of names of kings and conquerors, of battles and conquests, and tallies of slaves and prisoners and booty gained (or stolen) on the points of swords and spears. And then, after the ancient cultures and societies had grown sufficiently complex, and the time was ripe for something new to emerge ... then, out of the misty gray unknowing of prehistoric darkness, distinct individual human personalities began to enter into the realm of remembrance. And the first man to emerge into the still feeble light of History was ... a prophet!
. . . 3 > The Black Pharaoh
The pharaoh Amenhotep IV was hidden from the sight of historians for over two thousand years, thanks to the efforts of priestly curses and subsequent pharaohs to blot him out of history forevermore. So it was not until 1714 that the darkness of willful-ignorance was finally broken, when a Jesuit named Sicard made copies of the king's boundary-stelae. But information was slow in coming forth from the ancient sands, and even from the beginning, confusion surrounded Akhenaten. At first the scholars were uncertain whether the king was male or female. Opinion regarding the vanished-pharaoh himself would remain divided among the scholars from that point on. But by the mid-nineteenth century the importance of the Amarna Period began to be felt; and it was soon understood as a vital time when "ancient Egyptian culture and religion were fundamentally transformed for several years, and which even witnessed the introduction of a new literary language, and during which a religion was *founded* for the first time in the history of the world" (E.Hornung, 'Akhenaten and the Religion of Light', p.2).
By the mid-twentieth-century Akhenaten was known as the heretic-king, an enlightened despot, a religious fanatic, a rationalist, and so forth. Some of those scholars with a more positive attitude toward the king could even conclude that "Akhenaten seemed to have been the prophet of a religion for which his time was not yet ripe" (R.Anthes). And in this statement the scholars come very close to touching the essence of true prophecy. But a few decades prior to this scholarly insight, the vision of the artist already made the prophetic connection between Akhenaten and Jesus; as in the novel 'Joseph and his His Brothers' by Thomas Mann, where the author "attempted to categorize Akhenaten as an early Christ figure" (Horn, p.14). The scholar sees deep, but the artist sees deeper still!
In any case, the recognition of pharaoh Amenhotep IV as the earliest personality known to historical-science was perhaps even more important. It is easy to see why he stands out as a unique individual, even in the 'heroic' ancient-near-east (ie. the mythic-world is home to gods and glory, great kings, warriors, and heroes that lie just beyond the dawn of history). But here was a man who was both a king and a prophet! Such a thing was unthinkable in the ancient world, where mythic concepts ruled; such that everyone knew (without a shadow of a doubt) that kings were divine beings. To just say 'no' to all *that* is to announce nothing less than the end of the age-of-myth (ie. of all mythical thinking), and to introduce the beginnings of the age-of-religion (ie. a more rational and theological way of thinking about the cosmos, and everything else).
. . . 4 > The Turning Point
If we were rational in our way of thinking about things, we would mark the beginnings of the common-era from the moment that this 'no' was first uttered by the pharaoh-prophet Akhenaten. So it's kind of hard to just forget someone who shakes the pillars of the world; even when it was forbidden to even speak his name. You may curse his name, and blot it out of egyptian-history for a dozen centuries and more, but that first 'no' is still out there, sitting quietly in the minds of the peoples of the nation. A heretic is one who challenges tradition, but a prophet brings the entire structure of mythical thinking crashing down around your ears. Very slowly, to be sure, but inevitably, the consequences of the first historical rebellion began to be felt.
In any case, there was/is considerable variety among the egyptologists, historians, and scholars as to what is meant by a 'pharaoh-prophet'; and the latter term is especially fluid in meaning and precision. And while both terms are important, only the first is deemed necessary. Akhenaten could not have been a prophet-of-influence had he not been the king of Egypt first; ie. only a king had the power to put his ideas into effect so as to alter and influence and affect the whole course of the nation (and even the larger civilization of the ancient near east). It's true that Egypt itself swiftly rejected Akhenaten and his strange new religion, but in the long run even that didn't matter.
The proof of his lasting influence and staying power in the collective memory of the people is found not only in the actions of subsequent pharaohs, but also with a certain Egyptian prince named Moses. It was this man who (following in Akhenaten's footsteps) became a prophet of the one-god, left Egypt with a small group of followers and former-slaves, and basically created a new theocratic society on the other side of the desert (based upon the Black Pharaoh's insight / invention of monotheism). Thus Akhenaten in effect changed the entire course of history; not least because there could have been no 'Moses & Torah & Israel' had he not prepared the way in so timely a fashion by bringing the first light of reason to a myth-soaked world.
. . . 5 > The Three Ages of Man
Therefore Sophiology sees History as the dynamic and ongoing conflict and interaction of three human-generated forces or world-views myth, religion, and reason. These three different ways of thinking and being-within-the-world first appeared at different points in time, and have co-existed now for well over 2000 years. Today most people still opt for the religious way of viewing life, the universe, and everything. We can thus designate these ways of being-in-the-world as the three chief "ages" or "forms" of human-being
age of myth > gods, heroes, signs and symbols, totems, mythic-concepts, and polymorphic-polytheism. consciousness is here characterized by an overwhelming excess of magical-thinking, and a basically emotional reaction to all things and events.
age of religion > Moderation only begins with Akhenaten the one-&-only-god = men are NOT gods! Belief (and/or faith) is the cognitive quality most characteristic of religious-thinking, and thus most prevalent in this age. the major world-religions are (in 21C) a confused mixture of magical-thinking, belief and faith, and reason. And all of it is expressed through the various traditions relating to all manner of things ritual, myths and sagas, teachings, art, wisdom, etc, and all in varying degrees (according to historical circumstances). For wisdomology, age-of-religion is basically just a broad neutral-ground between magical-irrationality on one side, and the more critical and aware tones of rational-thinking on the other. Accordingly, this is the perfect place for the majority of people to dwell (eg. because of the large built-in comfort-zone).
age of reason > begins with the early greek philosophers, and quickly peaks with the prophet Socrates, and his two spiritual sons, Plato and Aristotle. From this point on all three ages (or world-views) co-exist in competition and uneasy alliance. But the age of reason was born just as the age of religion was sweeping triumphantly across the east and the west, sweeping away much (but not all) of the older mythic ways and perceptions.
But the world was not then ready to embrace the age-of-reason, and so philosophy was more or less held in stasis (in a role subservient to religion (as with Augustine and Plotinus)) until the Enlightenment gave it a renewed impetus; in partnership with a newly invigorated science (stemming from the "rediscovery" (thanks largely to Islam) of the classical literature of ancient greece and rome). The so-called Renaissance - the 'rebirth' or 'awakening' - that set the stage for the birth of the modern world (following the Reformation), was a critical historical event caused chiefly by the dissemination of books and literacy and knowledge. The Renaissance also clearly demonstrates the power of literature as an active element in driving human history forward.
. . . 6 > Akhenaten's Revolution Defeats the Ancient World
The religion of Akhenaten failed in Egypt because it could find no soil for its roots in the disorganized and chaotic minds of prehistoric humanity; as evidenced in the tradition-bound bronze-age culture of ancient Egypt. But the insights that empowered Akhenaten's 'religion of light' were not forgotten or banished or blotted out of history, but merely (and quietly) exported out of the nation by way of the egyptian prince called Moses (as also suggested by Freud in 'Moses and Monotheism'). Akhenaten re-interpreted the traditional signs and symbols of egyptian religion thusly The solar-deity, Re-Harakhty, whose visible form was a man with a falcon's head, was transmuted within Akhenaten's heart and mind into the sun-god Aten, the one and only deity, whose only visible form is the sun-disk. The falcon thus defaults into a symbol, not of the god himself, but of the prophet, who acts as the intermediary between the sun-god and his creation. The full meaning of the falcon symbol therefore has more to do with Akhenaten's role as prophet, than with his role as pharaoh. Thus the prophet has a special role to play in society and history (and one a king can perform very effectively), but he is still only a man.
So the idea that a man (not just any man, but usually the hero or king or emperor) is a living avatar of a god, or indeed is himself a god, or is otherwise a divine being, is a purely mythic concept direct from the prehistoric age of myth. It is merely a hold-over from the glory days of the heroic period, when a mighty warrior with a bloody sword could earn divinity by conquest and slaughter. But this idea is important because it lasts up to the roman-emperors, where it comes into conflict with Akhenaten's radical and liberating idea (that 'men are not gods') in the form of the early christian martyrs; who refuse to compromise their faith and beliefs (even at the cost of their own lives). The martyrs (like the prophets) make a clear distinction between men and god; and they do this because they know there are no gods, but only the one-god.
By adopting Christianity as the official religion of the mighty Roman-Empire, the emperor Constantine in effect conceded the right of kings and emperors to henceforth claim divinity for themselves; which is not to say that they gave up all claims to divine authority. Nevertheless, the distinction was made (because the distinction was critical), and once made could never again be reversed. This was also the point in history where politics and religion were in direct conflict, where the age of myth and the age of religion met to wrestle for dominance in the arena, and where reason and unreason collide head-on to determine the fate and future of all humanity. And so Akhenaten's long-delayed revolution (and the fulfillment of his dream, which he could not achieve in Egypt, the triumph of religion over myth), finally ended the supremacy of magical-thinking, at least in the west (although it lingered on for many more centuries in the far-east).

Walking the Tightrope: The Tensions Between Work and Family in America Today
For tens of millions of Americans the stress of juggling the competing demands of work and family is a primary concern-second only, perhaps, to concerns over earning a livable income. In today's economy, we are earning more, but working longer hours and spending less time with our families. Unsurprisingly, we are usually less happy than before. Stress over time pressure is perhaps universal, a result of changes in the American workforce over the past three decades and of the never-ending demands of a "24/7" workplace ethic. Too many Americans find themselves tied to their work through cellular phones and e-mail.
Hedrick Smith, Executive Producer and Correspondent for PBS's recent nationwide special on "Juggling Work and Family" (2001), joins us at the Athenaeum for a talk sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family and Children and the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies. Smith draws on the experiences and daily obstacles of high tech managers in Silicon Valley and assembly line workers in the Midwest, alike. He reports on the strategies progressive companies use to ease the pressures on employees raising children or caring for their own elderly parents. Exploring the structural and cultural norms in America, which were formed a half century ago, he questions whether or not these norms are appropriate in today's society.
Having recently completed the series on work and family, Smith previously hosted twelve prime-time PBS specials and series on issues as diverse as Washington's power game, Soviet perestroika, the global economy, and teen violence. For 26 years, Smith was a correspondent for The New York Times. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, he served as Chief Diplomatic Correspondent on the team that produced the Pentagon Papers (1971).
25 Years of Humorous Wisdom from Cathy
In 1976 Cathy Guisewite became the first woman to break the "paper ceiling" of the comic pages with her comic strip Cathy, the first widely syndicated humor strip by a female cartoonist. Millions of fans read Cathy each day in one of 1,500 newspapers. The strip was revolutionary not simply because it features a woman, but also deals honestly with the conflicting emotions of women. Topics for the strip have evolved since 1976 from issues like the right to work to the difficulties of having a career and a family, but broader themes remain the same. Guisewite identifies these themes as "the four basic guilt groups-food, love, mom and work." Although her own life has changed in many ways since starting the comic strip, she insists that the character Cathy and its artist share much in common. "We're both trying to be dynamic business people, nurturing homeowners, loving partners, environmentally correct citizens, financial wizards, loyal friends, community activists . . . and a size five all at once." She adds, "also, we're trying to find the appropriate outfit and matching shoes for each life role."
No matter how much of a struggle it may be for Cathy in the comic strip, Guisewite herself seems to be balancing things with great success: she has received the National Cartoonists Society's Ruben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year and an Emmy for her first animated television special featuring Cathy.
Coincidentally, 25 years ago Guisewite created Cathy and CMC went coed. Two strokes of brilliance!
Cathy Guisewite's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Berger Institute of Work, Family, and Children and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. The dinner is for CMC persons only; the lecture is open to all.

Composer and pianist Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941) is regarded by many as the first important jazz composer. Born in New Orleans on October 20, 1890, Morton, a gifted musician, learned to play many different instruments before concentrating on playing the piano at age 10. During his formative years in the early 1900s, he incorporated gospel, hymns, blues, ragtime, French, Hispanic, and Caribbean influences into a new, distinct style: jazz. His early classics, like "King Porter Stomp" and "Wolverine Blues," demonstrate his major role in the movement of this hybrid music style.
After a move to Chicago, Morton began touring with his group, the Red Hot Peppers, which featured Kid Ory and Johnny and Baby Dodds as members. His characteristic fusion of spontaneous improvised jazz and his rehearsed orchestral approach to ensemble jazz rank him with the likes of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, and Charles Mingus.
Jelly Roll Blues is the fruition of a concept originally proposed to renowned tenor saxophonist and arranger Jack Montrose by Lester Koenig of Contemporary Records. Now, more than forty years later, the American Jazz Institute, the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are delighted to present this concert.
Please join us for a night of "hot" jazz at the Ath.
Politics and the Bush Administration After 9/11
I'm a liberal Democrat . . . . I worked for George McGovern, I worked for Jimmy Carter. I've worked for Ted Kennedy, Mario Cuomo. But I have to tell you, at this point it's hard to believe, but my party . . . has become no longer a party of principles, but has been hijacked by a confederacy of gangsters who need to take power by whatever means and whatever canards they can.
-Patrick Caddell, MSNBC
Can we get this godforsaken event over with so I can go back to presiding over a civilization gone to hell in a handcart?
-President Jed Bartlet The West Wing
Needless to say, Patrick Caddell is not your average pundit. Caddell's efforts to shake up the establishment began in 1972, when at the age of 21, the young Harvard graduate led underdog George McGovern to the Democratic nomination. Four years later, Caddell orchestrated Jimmy Carter's successful campaign for the presidency. More recently, Caddell has been a fierce critic of the Clinton Administration and a vocal opponent of Al Gore's post-election maneuvering in Florida. Caddell has earned distinction as the conscience of the left, warning Democrats against the "unconditional surrender of their ideals."
Endeavoring to escape the moral vacuum of the modern political scene, Caddell has moved from the Washington beltway to the Hollywood studio. As a writer for the award-winning NBC series, The West Wing, he now charts the political career of America's most scrupulous, principled, and brilliant president-Jed Bartlet.
In his talk, however, Caddell will avoid fiction. Rather, he will discuss the odd mixture of change and continuity that he observes emerging after September 11. On the one hand, the devastating terrorist attacks have profoundly altered the attitudes of the American public. On the other hand, America's political institutions have remained wedded to the status quo. Is this disconnect between the country and its leaders a cause for concern? In a style that compelled Hardball's Chris Matthews to name Caddell his alltime favorite guest, Caddell will search for answers.
Patrick Caddell's talk is the keynote address for the April 5 conference, "Bush's First Year: A Changing Administration in a Changing World." Sponsored by CMC's Henry Salvatori Center, the conference will bring together journalists and scholars to discuss the impact and direction of the Bush Administration after 9/11. Panelists include Michael Barone of U.S. News & World Report, Ron Brownstein of the Los Angeles Times, Nelson Polsby of UC Berkeley, and Aaron Freidberg of Princeton University. The conference is open to the public.
Undoing Certain Mischievous Questions About the Holocaust
According to Professor Berel Lang, visiting scholar at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., there are certain common questions accepted and asked about the Holocaust that are based on misleading or mistaken premises. Why didn't the Jews resist? Why weren't there more "Righteous Gentiles?" How could the Germans have done what they did? These are among the questions Lang will analyze in his Athenaeum talk, showing how they are mischievous and how they can be changed.
A professor of humanities at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, Berel Lang is an internationally known philosopher and an expert on the Holocaust. Books authored by Lang include The Future of the Holocaust: Between History and Memory (1999), Holocaust Representation: Art Within the Limits of History (1997); Heidegger's Silence (1996), and Act and Idea in the Nazi Genocide (1990). In The Future of the Holocaust Lang notes the past is not "static"; rather, our current interpretation of the Holocaust affects future analysis.
Until this June, Lang is in residence at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as an Ina Levine Invitational Scholar.
Berel Lang's lecture is held in observance of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) and is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the European Union of California-with support from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum-as part of the series Researching the Holocaust. Prior to this event at 5:00 PM, the chaplains of The Claremont Colleges will lead a short service in the Athenaeum courtyard.
Global Pollution
In recent times, hardly a day goes by without hearing about pollution, global warming, or the hole in the ozone layer. However, such damage in the atmosphere due to our use of chemical emissions has only been known since the 1970s-and the seriousness of its consequences is becoming readily apparent today. Thus, research-like that done by Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland-is of extreme importance.
In 1995 Rowland shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Mario Molina and Paul Crutzen "for their work on atmospheric chemistry, particularly concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone." Along with postdoctoral colleague Molina, Rowland, a specialist in atmospheric chemistry and radiochemistry, was the first person to warn that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released into the atmosphere were depleting the earth's critical ozone layer. This finding, as the Los Angeles Times Magazine stated, "rocked the government, threatened a huge industry, and transformed global environmental policy."
His research in the 1970s eventually led to legislation in the United States, Canada, and Scandinavia regulating the manufacture and use of CFCs, and in 1987 to the Montreal Protocol of the United Nations Environment Program-the first international agreement for controlling and ameliorating the environmental damage to the global atmosphere. The terms of the Montreal Protocol were strengthened in 1992 to attain a complete phaseout of further CFC production by the year 1996. Consequent measurements in the atmosphere have proven that CFC emissions on a global scale have essentially stopped.
In addition to his work with CFCs, Rowland has been investigating the impact of methane gas on the environment. Over the last hundred years, the greenhouse warming contribution of methane has been second only to that of carbon dioxide.
In sum, he is the author of more than 380 scientific publications, including approximately 100 in the area of atmospheric chemistry. Besides the Nobel Prize, he has won many other prestigious awards, such as the Tyler World Prize in Ecology and Energy, the Albert Einstein Prize of the World, and the 1993 American Chemical Society Peter Debye Medal in Physical Chemistry. He also holds honorary degrees from seventeen institutions.
Dr. Rowland is currently the Donald Bren Research Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. He came to the University in 1964 as the first chair of the department of Chemistry. Previously, he has held faculty positions at Princeton University and the University of Kansas. He earned his bachelor's degree from Ohio Wesleyan University and his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago.
Professor Rowland's lecture is part of the series Urban Air Pollution, funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.
One Israeli. One Palestinian. Talking Peace.
Called an optimist, dreamer and traitor, Dr. Yossi Beilin has been at the forefront of Israeli peace negotiating. He is considered one of the key Israeli architects of the Oslo peace process, and a leading thinker of his generation. Dr. Beilin served as Minister of Justice and Minister of Religious Affairs in the government of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. He has also served his government as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Minister of Finance, Minister of Economics and Social Development, Minister Without Portfolio and as a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs Committee.
Criticized and respected by Americans and Israelis alike, Yasser Abed Rabbo is the Palestinian Authority Minister of Information and Culture. Mr. Rabbo headed Final Status negotiations with Israel dealing with the sensitive issues of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, water, and borders. His experience in negotiations began in 1991 when he was a member of the Palestinian delegation to the Middle East peace conference in Madrid. He has served on the PLO Executive Committee since 1971.
Beilin and Rabbo both support a comprehensive, viable peace between Israel and Palestine, resulting in two side-by-side nations, with secure borders. Despite the violent daily realities of Israel, they are committed to ongoing negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis.
Seeds of Peace is internationally recognized by Israeli and Palestinian leaders, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, His Late Majesty King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan, along with bipartisan support on Capitol Hill as an effective promoter of peace in the Middle East. The organization runs summer camps, bringing together youth to break the cycle of violence around the world. They subscribe to the principle, "Peace is made by people." Thanks to Seeds of Peace we are able to bring these two distinguished speakers to the Athenaeum.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. The program begins at noon.
Constitutional Issues in the War on Terrorism
The war on terrorism presents important issues under the U.S. Constitution and under international law. The traditional rules of international law were developed for wars between nations, not with terrorist groups; however, the law of piracy provides some useful analogies. The role of the U.N. in modern international law should be considered as well by America and her allies fighting in Afghanistan and elsewhere. The detainees in Cuba, prisoners on the battlefields, and suspects within the United States each present different concerns under U.S. Constitutional law and under the pragmatic realities of the threat America and the world faces. Constitutional rights were established to protect us at times of greatest stress; what problems are presented with the USA Patriot Act, and how can they be overcome?
Addressing this question at the Athenaeum will be Thomas J. Campbell, a professor of Law at Stanford University. Specializing in antitrust and international law, Campbell has an impressive background. Besides working as an attorney for the Winston and Strawn law firm, he has clerked for both Judge George E. MacKinnon, U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, and Justice Byron White, U.S. Supreme Court.
After working in the judicial branch of the government, Campbell switched powers and moved to the legislature. He served as a member of the United States Congress from 1989-1993 and 1995-2001 and in the California State Senate from 1993-I995.
Campbell received his bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. (economics) degrees from the University of Chicago, and his J.D. from Harvard.
Russian Political Culture: Changes and Continuity
Why has Russia's path to democracy been so troubled over the past decade? What role does Russia's political culture play? Is there something specific to the Russian culture that confounds the already difficult process of democratization? If so, how fixed is a nation's political culture and how much time must pass for real change? Leading Russian political scientist Sergei Chugrov will answer these and other questions in his address on Russia's political culture. In his talk Dr. Chugrov will discuss how Russia's current process of Westernization has been reconciled with other Slavic traditions in the country's transition to a new post-communist political order.
Dr. Chugrov comes to Claremont from Moscow in order to share his recent research on political change in Russia. Dr. Chugrov is a leading scholar in the Russian Academy of Sciences and is currently a Senior Researcher at the Center for Comparative Socio-Political Studies at the prestigious Russian political science institute, the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO). He also is the Deputy EditorIn-Chief of The World Economy and International Relations Journal. He is the author of multiple articles and books on Russian politics, Russian foreign policy, and U.S.-Russian relations. Dr. Chugrov's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. The lecture begins at 12:15 p.m.
Psychopaths and Their Nature: Some Clues from Cognitive Neuroscience
Psychopaths tend to be glib and charming. They also tend to be callous, violent, remorseless and unable to experience the normal depth and range of human emotion. Robert Hare is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia and the leading authority on psychopaths. As a researcher, he has studied the development of psychopathy and has created the most widely used test for assessing psychopaths. Professor Hare has consulted with the FBI and RCMP and is on the advisory panel established by the English Prison Service to develop new programs for the treatments of psychopathic criminals. His recent book, Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of Psychopaths Among Us (1993), summarizes his research for a general audience.
Hare is the recipient of the 2001 awards for Outstanding Contributions to Forensic Psychiatry and Psychiatric Jurisprudence, The American Academy of Forensic Psychology's Award for Distinguished Applications, and the Silver Medal of the Queen Sophia Center in Valencia, Spain.
Hare is the final speaker in the series Psychology and Law. Past speakers included Piers Bannister of Amnesty International, London, (10/16) "Human Rights and the Death Penalty in the USA: An International Perspective" and Shari Diamond, Northwestern University Law School, (11/13) "Understanding Juries."
Japanese Relations with the United States
THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 2002 4:00 p.m. LECTURE ONLY
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to sponsor the Honorable Yukihiko Ikeda's public speech on "Japanese Relations with the United States." He will present a cogent, thoughtful, and balanced review of Japan-U.S.relations in diplomatic, economic, and strategic areas and will assess the critical importance of alliance and cooperation between the two countries in the 21st century.
After graduating from the Faculty of Law, Tokyo University, he entered the prestigious Japanese Ministry of Finance and held a number of important bureaucratic positions. In 1976 he was elected to the House of Representatives from Hiroshima Prefecture; he has been reelected nine consecutive terms since then. He served as Chairman of the Finance Committee of the House of Representatives and as Minister of Foreign Affairs (1996-1997).

Harvey Scores Career-High 19; Women's Basketball Suffers First Conference Loss to Barton 89-64
January 13, 2010
WILSON, N.C. A career-high night in scoring by Christina Harvey wasnt enough as the Pfeiffer University Lady Falcons suffered their first Conference Carolinas defeat of the season, dropping an 89-64 decision to the Barton Lady Bulldogs in womens basketball action on Wednesday night. Barton, led by Esty Flores 21 points, improves their record to 6-5 overall, 5-1 in league play. Despite Harveys 19 points, the Lady Falcons fall to 5-6, 5-1.
Barton shot 50.7% from the field compared to Pfeiffers 33.3%. Janetta Robinson drained a three just 37 seconds in as the Lady Bulldogs took the lead and never looked back. Robinson, scoring 15 on the night, put the hosts up 16 at the halfway point of the period with a another basket giving Barton a 25-9 advantage. The Lady Falcons attempted a comeback with an 18-4 run as the half came to a close thanks to 13 points by Harvey. Kellie Rhoney also knocked down a three in the streak.
Barton, taking a 10-point lead to the break, came out and doubled that advantage within the first five minutes of the second half as the Lady Falcons offense cooled off. A pair of layups by Robinson and Flores helped propel the Lady Bulldogs out to the comfortable lead. Pfeiffer managed just 27 second-half points that resulted in the in 25-point loss.
Along with Harvey, Charlotte Fuller was the only other Lady Falcon to finish in double-digits with 11 points. For the Lady Bulldogs, Jamila Johnson sandwiched herself in-between Flores and Robinson with 17 points. Pfeiffer did play without its second-leader scorer, Brittany Cox, who missed the contest with an injury.
The Lady Falcons will look to rebound after a couple of days off, traveling to Charlotte to take on Queens this Saturday night. Tip-time is set for 5:30 p.m. from the Ovens Athletic Center.
