SIMON COWELL is expecting a child with a 36-year-old woman, who happens to be the estranged wife of a good friend of his. They're divorcing, but the timeline is unclear at this point. We don't know if Simon's relationship with the woman ended the marriage. And even if it didn't, we don't know if the guy is okay with Simon dating his ex. The woman is reportedly about 10 weeks along.
"Vanity Fair" Dropped it's Best-Dressed list yesterday and it includes Kerry Washington, Kate Middleton, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, LeBron James, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady as a couple, and 69-year-old Keith Richards.
LINDSAY LOHAN'S judge ordered her to attend three therapy sessions per week for the next 15 months, in order to make sure she stays clean. This was actually recommended by the clinic where Lindsay just spent 90 days. They said that to do otherwise would be, quote, "a set up for almost certain failure."
O.J. SIMPSON was granted parole on some of the charges he's serving time for. He still has to spend at least four years behind bars before he can be released. The parole board said it was granting his request because of his, quote, "positive institutional conduct, participation in programs [and] LACK OF PRIOR CONVICTION HISTORY."

According to a new survey, Ryan Gosling is the guy people would most like to see in a sex tape. He was followed by Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey and Johnny Depp. Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are the COUPLE people would most like to see getting it on.
LINDSAY LOHAN left rehab yesterday as scheduled, but she's not rejoining society just yet. She plans to spend a few days living with a SOBER COACH, because she wanted some kind of transition from rehab to the real world. By the way, Lindsay is guest-hosting "Chelsea Lately" this coming Monday
KRISTEN STEWART went off on a paparazzi scumbag the other day, telling him, quote, "You're a piece of [crap] and you don't deserve to breathe the same air I do."
RadarOnline.com reports that the "Today" show's ratings are declining so much that staff members are starting to get laid off. Supposedly, nine people have been canned already . . . and those jobs COULD'VE been saved if MATT LAUER agreed to lose 1% of his $25 MILLION salary, but he refused.

How does JOHN STAMOS stay so MANTASTIC? Well, Pilates help . . . although he takes a lot of ribbing at those classes. He says, quote, "I go in and it's all women except for me. I'm the only guy there, and I know they make up these exercises like 'come over here, John, and do the penguin.' And then it looks like I'm getting a pap smear. They do it to make me look silly, but it keeps me in shape."
LEA MICHELE has spoken out for the first time about the death of her boyfriend and "Glee" co-star CORY MONTEITH. She Tweeted a picture of the two of them together, along with this message . . . quote, "Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart."
Forbes.com has dropped its annual list of the Highest-Paid Actresses . . . and ANGELINA JOLIE tops it with $33 million. JENNIFER LAWRENCE was second with $26 million, and KRISTEN STEWART pulled down $22 million for a third-place finish.
MILEY CYRUS prefers weed to booze. She says, quote, "When I smoke, I don't get the sick feeling I get when I drink, or that anger rising up. There's a reason Bob Marley was like some kind of musical Rasta Mother Teresa!" She also says her "We Can't Stop" video is tamer than a lot of what kids are watching online already.

As far as we know, SELENA GOMEZ and JUSTIN BIEBER are OFF at the moment. But on "Good Morning America" Friday, Selena said, quote, "He and I have had such a history together. I'll always care about him and protect him if anyone tries to be mean." --Then on Saturday, Selena celebrated her 21st birthday at a club with several friends . . . including Justin. He showed up with JADEN SMITH, and brought Selena a single red rose. Then Selena and Justin left TOGETHER at about 2:00 A.M.
Rapper DJ KHALED proposed to NICKI MINAJ in a video that aired on "MTV News". He also flashed a supposed $500,000, 10-carat ring. There's no word how Nicki feels about this. There are some reports that she actually filed a restraining order against him.
The petition AMANDA BYNES' parents filed for a conservatorship was released Friday. They say Amanda is paranoid, obsessed with body image . . . and she's burned through $1.2 million in a really short period of time. They said, quote, "We believe that a substantial amount of this money is being used to pay for marijuana and other illegal substances, and possibly for plastic surgery."
REESE WITHERSPOON reportedly treated herself to a $1,500 haircut on Saturday. She went to a high-end salon in Beverly Hills where they, quote, "treat each strand [of hair] in its own way, in order to achieve the most natural effect. ANGELINA JOLIE and SALMA HAYEK are also fans of the procedure.
Jennifer Aniston says she's in no rush to marry boyfriend Justin Theroux -- because they "already feel married." Jen says she'll walk down the aisle, quote, "when it's perfect."

Here's the latest on AMANDA BYNES, in a nutshell: Amanda's doctors are extending her hospital stay for TWO WEEKS, saying they need that much time to properly diagnose her. TMZ says doctors believe she's suffering from SEVERE mental illness, and they've even noticed schizophrenic tendencies. They say she can go through long periods of lucidity, but she can also slip right back into CRAZY. But on the plus side, she tested NEGATIVE for all drugs, except marijuana. However, RadarOnline.com says Amanda has been taking Adderall for years. It's supposedly for ADHD, but the REAL reason she takes it is for weight loss . . . and it's doing nothing but adding to her paranoia. She's been asking for it in the hospital, but doctors won't give it to her. Yesterday, Amanda's parents filed for a conservatorship.
In the past few months, JUSTIN BIEBER has been accused of spitting on both his neighbor and a club DJ. And now Justin's saliva is back in the news. Yesterday in Toronto, Justin was hanging out on a hotel balcony with friends . . . and spitting over it. It's not clear who or what was below him at the time he was spitting, but it seems like there were fans hanging out down there all day.
O.J. SIMPSON went before a parole board yesterday to ask for leniency. He said he's been a model prisoner, and added that the difference between his crime and that of the other inmates is that, quote, "They were trying to steal other people's money. My crime was trying to retrieve for my family my own property."
MILEY CYRUS may have to grow her hair long again just to be different, because she claims everyone's been COPYING her since she cut it. She says, quote, "I just always want to be different. Everyone else has cut their hair to look just like me, so now I got to do something different. I don't like when you walk in and you see a bunch of other yous."
OPRAH WINFREY has announced that her post-rehab interview with LINDSAY LOHAN will air on Sunday, August 18th. It'll be an episode in her "Oprah's Next Chapter" series on her cable network, OWN.

The Power of Suffering Love
by Walter Brueggemann | April 2010
Reflections on the Revised Common Lectionary, Cycle C
Our readings move from Friday to Sunday, from death to new life. Friday, in Christian reckoning, is a null-point wherein the power of God is defeated by the empire of force. But the church has found in that Friday shut-down the transformative work of God, because this God works in and through weakness and vulnerability as the door to new life. It is a Friday truth that suffering love has transformative power that the "executioners" never suspect.

The Perishability of Online Grocers
2007, Decision Sciences
K. Cattani, A. Marucheck, O. Perdikaki
In this article we explore the profitability of different operations models used by online grocers and develop a linear demand model in a competitive setting to better understand the trade-offs made by two competing online grocers in choices for distribution strategy (leverage or direct) and product focus (perishable or nonperishable). We find that the results derived in the duopoly setting are different from those in a monopolistic setting. Specifically, we determine that there is a threshold value for the secondary competitive effects in the demand function that determines how the prices and profitability of an online grocer will be affected by the supply chain length of its competitor. There is also a threshold value for the ratio of supply chain lengths of the two competitors that determines whether product perishability increases or decreases profits. We demonstrate that the existence of this threshold is robust when considering capacity constraints. Further, we show, assuming that supply chain length can be optimized, how the relative size of the infrastructure change cost (when compared with that of the competitor) coupled with the perishability of the product determines the profitability of an investment leading to a shorter supply chain.

Music and Conversation
Daniel Valdez, composer, musician, singer and actor, left home at the age of 17 to join his brother Luis in Delano, California in the struggle for the just treatment of farmworkers. In January of 1966 Daniel joined Cesar Chavez and the United Farmworkers Union, and it was on the picket lines that Valdez learned to do Teatro and incorporate his music to bring the message of the UFW to the workers and the rest of the world. As one of the founding members of El Teatro Campesino, Daniel has been seen in many Teatro productions, including the Chicano film classic Zoot Suit (1981) for which he also wrote the original music and arranged all of the classic 1940's Big Band music. In 1987 Daniel produced the life story of Ritchie Valensi in the film, La Bamba. Both of these films were written and directed by Luis Valdez.
Daniel Valdez has played roles in numerous other films, including Which Way is Up? (1977) starring Richard Pryor; The China Syndrome (1979) with Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon, and Michael Douglas; and Cheech Marin's Born in East L.A. (1987). However, Daniel's first love has always remained music. Along with Mr. Valdez's list of stage, film and musical credits, he has always worked with community organizations and schools as a positive role model for Hispanic youth, with special guest lectures, performances, workshops and benefits for these organizations.
Valdez's first solo album Mestizo (1973) for A&M records propelled him into the world of concert performer, and the many musical artists with whom he has performed include Linda Ronstadt, Carlos Santana, Jerry Gracia, Ruben Blades, Celia Cruz and Tito Puente. In 1996 Valdez composed and wrote the original score for the IMAX film titled "MEXICO", a forty minute IMAX film tracing three thousand years of Mexico's history beginning at the height of the Mayan civilization, through the conquest and ending in the present. It has been named one of the top 15 IMAX films in the world.
In September of 1997, Daniel worked with the San Diego Repertory Theater and Southwestern College as a musical consultant and historical expert for the re-staging of the Luis Valdez American Play, Zoot Suit. This was the first revival of this classic since its creation 20 years before. In June of 2000 he reprised his role as musical director at the Goodman Theater in Chicago for their production of Zoot. So it is only fitting that Daniel Valdez present a concert at CMC during the Cesar Chavez celebration that also includes Claremont's 5-College Theater production of Zoot Suit at Seaver Theater on the Pomona College campus. This 30th anniversary production is directed by Pomona College professor of theatre and dance, Alma Martinez.
Meet the Artist and Poster Signing
4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
"I live in two worlds, creating art to support a family and creating art to suport my community, the Latino community. In one of my worlds, I illustrate Steven Spielberg, John Paul Jones and Steve Jobs; in the other I paint Edward James Olmos, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Eugene Obregon, and Cesar Chavez. One of my two worlds puts food on the table while the other offers nourishment that bread could not fulfill.
This hunger is satisfied with powerful images of Latinos on a quest for higher education, becoming professionals and accomplishing great things. This is where my satisfaction arises as a Chicano artist."
-Ignacio Gomez

Dinner Theater
Rumors, by Neil Simon
Each spring, the Athenaeum's intellectually charged interior is transformed into a world of thespians, with all the comedy, drama, and passion concomitant with their trade. This year, the Athenaeum is pleased to once again welcome Under the Lights, CMC's very own theater troupe. Under the Lights is better known on campus as UTL, and has benefited this year from the leadership of Julian Dormady ('08) and Bradley Walters ('08). Their Dinner Theater production of Rumors (1988), a marvelously witty comedy by Neil Simon, promises to follow in the popular footsteps of UTL's past performances.
Rumors begins with an anniversary party thrown by a prominent New York couple. However, when guests begin arriving, they discover that the host has been shot in the ear and the hostess is nowhere to be found. The play follows the pretentious socialites as they try to figure out what happened and simultaneously cover up the scandal, providing a delightful backdrop for Simon's clever and hilarious dialogue.
The all-student cast, under the capable direction of Bradley Walters '08, consists of: Alexandra Aznar ('08), Naomi Bagdonas ('09), Alex Hwang ('08), Cicily Keppel (HMC '11), Julia Masnik ('08), David Pezzola ('09), Brendan Sasso ('10), Evan Sippel ('08), and Skipp Stillwell ('09).
Don't miss this great opportunity to see your friends and classmates perform!
2008 Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership
Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE)
CODOU DIAW, Executive Director
SIMONE DE COMAMOND, Founder and Chair
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
In 1992, the female Ministers of Education from five African nations joined together to address the continuing lack of girls' education across Africa. At that time, some 24 million girls did not attend school in Sub-Saharan Africa. As a result of their meeting, the Ministers of Education established the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE). Since its founding, FAWE has expanded to include 32 national chapters, developing into a formidable non-governmental organization that tackles issues ranging from access to education to appointing more female teachers and improving educational quality.
FAWE is the third annual recipient of the Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership, awarded in honor of their tireless work on behalf of African girls, which has resulted in improved access to education for over 12 million girls. The Kravis prize, established in 2006, recognizes extraordinary leadership in the non-profit sector, and carries an award of $250,000 to the organization. The prize is administered by Claremont McKenna College, the Kravis Leadership Institute, and Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis '67. It will be presented to Dr. Codou Diaw, FAWE's Executive Director, and Simone de Comarmond, FAWE's founder and current chair, at ceremonies in New York on April 10. We are pleased to host them here as well, where they will discuss their efforts to spread educational equality in Africa.
Democracy and Knowledge: Innovation and Learning in Classical Athens
The city-state (polis) of Athens was governed by a highly participatory and deliberative democracy throughout most of the classical period (ca. 500-300 B.C.). Participation and deliberation are costly decision-making processes, demanding the energy of citizens and diverting state resources to democratic institutions. Twentieth-century theorists of social organization, from Robert Michels to Oliver Williamson, have argued that participatory democracy is unsustainable in a competitive environment. Yet, over time, Athens out-performed all of its more hierarchical city-state rivals. By conjoining contemporary theories of joint action and rational choice with a historical analysis of institutions and social processes, this lecture will explain how and why directly democratic government by the people produced superior state performance in the domains of wealth, power, and security.
Josiah Ober's presentation is the product of a lifelong fascination with political processes and classics. The current Constantine Mitsotakis Chair in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University, Ober divides his time between the Classics and Political Science departments, and also holds a courtesy appointment in the Philosophy department. Before joining Stanford in 2006, Ober was the David Magie Professor of Classics and Professor of Values at Princeton. His academic work brought him a great deal of recognition, from visiting professorships at the Sorbonne and U.C. Irvine, to resident and research fellowships at the National Humanities Center, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Clare Hall (Cambridge University), and Guggenheim, among others. Much of Ober's research and teaching focuses on the conjunction of Greek history, classical philosophy, and political theory and practice. This research has resulted in an impressive body of over fifty academic articles and books. His most recent book, Athenian Legacies: Essays on the Politics of Going on Together (2005), examines democratic and collective responses to crisis through the lens of ancient Athens. His newest work, Democracy and Knowledge: Innovation and Learning in Classical Athens, is due to be published later this year. In addition to all this, Ober has teamed up with fellow Stanford Professors Ian Morris and Barry Weingast on a three-year project comparing the ancient Greek state's "political ecology" with modern nation states, which intends to provide a new paradigm for understanding both normative and empirical approaches to political science and history.
Ober's lecture follows in the classical vein of Professor Arthur Eckstein's lecture on the rise of ancient Rome, and it offers an enlightening perspective on another great state of classical antiquity by one of the field's foremost experts.
Fatherhood: Remembering the Past, Imagining the Future
Ross D. Parke is Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Family Studies at the University of California, Riverside. His interests include fatherhood, the relation between families and peers, ethnic variation in families, and the impact of the new reproductive technologies on families. His research focuses on the development of social behavior in young children. As part of a long-standing exploration of mother-father differences in styles of interaction, Dr. Parke is examining the linkages between family and peer social systems. He is interested in the lessons that are learned in the family that, in turn, influence children's adaptation to peers. With the support of grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development models of how family and peer systems are linked are being tested in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using a variety of approaches including lab observational strategies. In addition, Parke is participating in the NICHD National Consortium on Early Child Care and Development, a multi-site longitudinal study of the effects of out of home child care on children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. With colleagues at the Center for Family Studies, an interdisciplinary group, he is exploring the impact of economic stress on adaptations in families of different ethnic backgrounds with the support of an NIMH grant.
Professor Parke has served as Editor of Developmental Psychology and the Journal of Family Psychology, and as Associate Editor of Child Development. He is past president of the Division of Developmental Psychology of the American Psychological Association and of the Society for Research in Child Development. He was recently awarded the graduate student mentoring award from the graduate division of UCR. He is author of several books including Fatherhood (1996) and coauthor of Throwaway Dads: The Myths and Barriers that Keep Men from Being the Fathers They Want to Be (1999) (with Armin Brott) and Child Psychology: A Contemporary Viewpoint (with E. Mavis Hetherington and Mary Gauvain) which will appear in its 7th edition in 2008.
His Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children at Claremont McKenna College.
Claremont Colleges Debate Union: America Should Prefer Negative Campaigning
AARON CHAMPAGNE '10, moderator
In a survey of campaign conduct, the Institute of Global Ethics found that "more than eight in ten voters say attack-oriented campaigning is unethical, undermines democracy, lowers voter turnout, and produces less-ethical elected officials. And 60 percent are 'very concerned' that candidates attack each other instead of discussing the issues." But research also indicates that voters react positively to negative campaign advertising, information, and tactics – negativity may increase voter participation in the electoral process. It is certainly the case that candidates and political consultants do not shy from 'going negative.' As political organizations, government officials, and the public work to improve campaigning, should reforms emphasize that candidates and campaign consultants adopt strategies that are more respectful or more effective? Please join members of the Claremont Colleges Debate Union for a lively debate on the topic, "America should prefer negative campaigning." The audience will have an opportunity to engage participants during a comment and question period during the debate. Heckling is also encouraged.
The Claremont Colleges Debate Union is the nation's largest and among the most successful college debate societies. Students have won three national championships and ranked in the top ten in the nation for 15 consecutive years. Students have won top honors at international contests in the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Korea, and China. The Debate Union additionally sponsors scores of live and broadcast public debates and discussions each year, as well as national and international educational outreach programs for thousands of secondary school students.
French Public Schools and the Ban on Head Scarves
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECUTRE 12:00 p.m.
Issues concerning the swelling immigrant population in France, composed primarily of North African Arabs known as maghrébins, played a prominent role in the recent French presidential elections, with the victor, Nicolas Sarkozy, promising a broad reform of immigration policy. Yet immigration policy alone does not address the barriers to assimilation that immigrants face in France. One of the most fevered disputes in French immigrant relations has been the controversy over 2004's "loi sur la laïcité" (Law on Secularism), which reiterated France's commitment to official secularism by, among other things, banning the wearing of large religious symbols in public schools. The ban applies to all religious items, including large crosses and Jewish yarmulkes, but most notably targets Muslim hijabs, or headscarves. Though a large majority of the French legislature, as well as the French population in general, supported the measure, it has since become a point of great contention among Muslim immigrants.
Geneviève Renault brings first-hand knowledge of the attempt to implement the ban on headscarves, and its effects on the French immigrant population. Born in Paris, never having seen the poor housing projects (known as HLM) in the immigrant banlieues (suburbs), Mme Renault joined the French public service as a teacher and was quickly assigned to teach French literature and English as a second language at the Lycée Adolphe Chérioux, a high school in Vitry-sur-Seine, a Parisian suburb. The high school is part of the Académie de Créteil, a massive, underfunded school district, comprised mostly of immigrants, that is regarded as a young teacher's worst nightmare. Her high school in particular lies in a zone sensible and a zone d'édcuation prioritaire, French euphemisms for particularly violent and poverty-stricken areas, where teachers receive a bonus to compensate for the increased risk and frustration. Mme Renault has a wealth of experience dealing with the French education system, and will speak about the challenges of teaching immigrants in such a low-income areas, as well as the cultural and political issues surrounding the controversial move to ban the hijab.
Genevieve Renault's visit to CMC has been arranged in collaboration with professor of government Hilary Appel.
Iran Awakening: A Story of Revolution and Hope
Born in Hamadan, Iran, Shirin Ebadi's life began as any other. She followed in the footsteps of her father, a professor of commercial law, and obtained law degrees from the University of Tehran. Shortly after her graduation in 1969, she became a judge. In 1975, she became the first woman in Iran to preside over a legislative court. In 1979, with the Islamic Revolution, however, everything changed. At the behest of the conservative clerics who controlled the regime, Ebadi and other female judges were stripped of their authority and demoted to secretarial positions within the judicial branch. When their protests were ignored, Ebadi opted for early retirement.
Ebadi was not able to return to her law practice until 1993, when she finally received the necessary permission to return to court. In the meantime, she began writing articles and books campaigning for a stronger legal status for women and children, becoming a champion of their rights in the face of the harsh Islamic regime. She has taken on numerous child abuse and anti-censorship cases, as well as established two non-governmental organizations: the Society for Protecting the Rights of the Child (SPRC) and the Defenders of Human Rights Center (DHRC).
In 2003, Ebadi's efforts were recognized internationally as she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the first Iranian, first Shia, and first Muslim woman to win the prize. The Nobel committee praised Ebadi's courage, noting that she "has never heeded the threat to her own safety." Her efforts on behalf of children and women have earned her international recognition, and her devotion to human rights has earned her praise. Ebadi is the author of, among other books, Democracy, Human Rights, and Islam in Modern Iran: Psychological, Social, and Cultural Perspectives (2003), as well as her memoir, Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope (2006).
How Today's 20 Year Olds Will Become the Greatest Generation
LUNCH, 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
On January 30, 2008, CMC helped to focus the nation on global warming with its faculty panel, "Global Warming: Is It Our Responsibility?" CMC faculty from economics, chemistry, government, and philosophy dicussed the problem of climate change from their unique disciplines, adding to our understanding and analysis of the problem of global warming. The same day, thousands of other college students also participated in Focus the Nation, a countrywide educational initiative to bring global warming to front and center on college campuses. Eban Goodstein is the founder of Focus the Nation.
Eban Goodstein teaches economics at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. He received his B.A. from Williams College and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.

Goodstein's visit is in honor of the national celebration of Earth Day.
Coverage Without Gaps
Peter Harbage is the Senior Program Associate in the Health Policy Program at the New America Foundation, a non-partisan public policy think tank based in Washington, DC. The New America Foundation devotes itself to bringing new and innovate ideas to the forefront in public policy issues, and eschews a particular liberal or conservative ideology. The Foundation's Health Policy Program's goals are to find some way to provide all Americans with health care coverage while reducing the growth in cost and enhancing quality. These goals are ambitious, but as it becomes increasingly clear that the American health care system faces a crisis, they seem all the more necessary. With 47 million Americans lacking health insurance at one point or another, and with Americans spending 16% of their GDP on health care – the world's largest proportion in a per-capita basis – no one doubts that the next American president's domestic agenda will include some sort of health care reform.
In addition to his work with the New America Foundation, Mr. Harbage is the President of Harbage Consulting, a health policy analysis firm based in Sacramento. From 2001 to 2003, he served as Assistant Secretary of Health for the state of California, where he managed the nation's largest state-operated health insurance programs for low-income families. Mr. Harbage has also worked in the Clinton Administration on Medicare and Medicaid, and served as the top health care advisor to Senator John Edwards. He is a true expert on health policy, and has published extensive articles and policy papers on health care reform. Mr. Harbage graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Michigan, where he also earned a master's degree in public policy.
Harbage's lecture is one of four speakers in the ongoing Athenaeum theme on "Markets, Mandates, or Medicare for All?" offered in conjunction with Professor Fred Lynch's class, "Organization of Healthcare and Public Policy."
Sacred and Forbidding Terrain: On the Historic Pilgrim Trail to the Sources of the Ganga
LUNCH 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
It is often said that the historical memory of the river Ganges dates much further back than the recorded history of India. The mythical origins of the beloved riparian goddess who roared down from the Himalayas at the entreaty of mortals to cast away their sins and misdeeds, is still vital to the people of the great northern plains of northern India today, and indeed without her one could hardly imagine the long-unfolding sense of community among those who have inhabited the great northern Indian plains for the last 2000 years or more. In this paper, which is drawn from a chapter of my forthcoming book, Ganga: The Many Pasts of an Indian River (Yale UP 2009), I will discuss some of the fundamental ideas and practices that constitute a particular pilgrim - imaginary, and its enchanted landscape through which the goddess flows. Recounting my own journeys to the Gaumukh glacier and Tapovan in years past, I hope to reconstruct and re-situate the pilgrim's arduous trail across the hills and rocks that lie in the path to its source – especially that of the renunciate, the widowed, and the sick – in a wider historical and cultural context.
Dr. Sudipta Sen is Professor of History at University of California, Davis. His research interests include history of late medieval and modern India, and imperial Britain.

The Challenge of Yoga: Enlightened Engagement in Patanjali's Yoga-Sutra
In 1999 CMC alumnus L. J. Kutten '74 endowed a lectureship in philosophy and religion to bring to campus scholars from traditions outside the mainstream of western religions. This past year, the L.J. Kutten lecture featured a presentation by Tim Ward in September and now this talk by professor Ian Whicher.
Ian Whicher challenges the often held radically dualistic and isolationistic interpretations of Yoga and suggests that as classically envisioned Yoga does not lead to the condemnation or abandonment of material life but to an enhanced engagement with the world, an engagement that seeks to enrich human interactions within the world. Rather than approach Patanjali's thought from the perspective of a set of dualistic metaphysical assumptions derived from classical Samkhya, this paper pursues a reading of theYoga Sutra that privileges the experience of yoga over metaphysical abstraction. Drawing from classical texts, it is argued that Yoga can culminate in a balanced integration of the spiritual and material dimensions of human life. Yoga can thus be seen to incorporate a clarity of awareness with the integrity of being and action Professor Whicher will explore Patanjali's Sutra in his lecture at the Athenaeum.
Professor Whicher is a Canadian and earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, England. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Religion at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. Whicher specializes in philosophies of India and the Yoga tradition. He is co-editor of Yoga: The Indian Tradition (2003) and the author of several books and articles, including The Integrity of the Yogo Darsana: A Reconsideration of Classical Yoga (1998) and Patanjali's Metaphysical Schematic: Purusa and Prakti in the Yoga-Sutra (2001). He is currently engaged in a project on The Reconciliation of Action and Contemplation in the Yoga Tradition.
Crimes of War
As a journalist and commentator, Roy Gutman has been on the front lines of the major international events of the last decades, from the fall of the Soviet Union, to the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia, to the current conflicts in the Middle East. Through it all, Gutman's voice has been uncompromisingly insistent on justice and the promulgation of accurate information about the realities and atrocities of war. His impressive work has awarded him the highest honors the field of journalism has to offer, including the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting, the George Polk Award for foreign reporting, the Selden Ring Award for investigative reporting, and a special Human Rights in Media Award from the International League for Human Rights.
A native of New York City, Gutman majored in History at Haverford College before going on to receive a master's degree in International Relations from the London School of Economics. His journalistic career really flourished at Newsday in New York, which he joined in 1982. Gutman's work as the National Security Reporter in Washington, D.C. led to the publication of his award-winning first book, Banana Diplomacy: The Making of American Policy in Nicaragua 1981-1987 (1988). From there, Gutman covered the collapse of communism as European Bureau Chief from 1989-1994. His insightful and revelatory coverage of war crimes in the Balkans was compiled into the 1993 Pulitzer Prize-winning A Witness to Genocide. Gutman's passion has not limited itself to pure journalism, as he also serves as chairman of American University's Crimes of War Project, a collaboration of journalists, lawyers, and scholars who seek to raise public awareness of the legal and humanitarian frameworks for armed conflict. In connection with the project, Gutman co-edited Crimes of War: What the Public Should Know (1999). Most recently, Gutman has turned his incisive analysis to American intelligence in the Middle East with his book How We Missed the Story: Osama Bin Laden, the Taliban, and the Hijacking of Afghanistan (2008).
A former senior fellow of the United States Institute of Peace and current Foreign Editor for the McClatchy Washington Bureau, Gutman's impressive experience in policy and journalism provide him with a unique and valuable perspective on these complex issues, and the Athenaeum is pleased to welcome him.
Gutnam's Athenaeum lecture is cosponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights and the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna College.

Hello all,
I'm starting this thread to see if anyone would like to join me in sharing their experiences with practicing mindfulness over the month ahead. I've come to see that mindfulness in my day-to-day life is just as important (arguably more so) than my daily meditation practise, so I'm going to work on this more during March. In my case, I'll be focussing on mindful eating and mindfulness in my spending habits…of course, I could go for 24-hour mindfulness, but experience tells me it may be best to focus on the more overt and punctual manifestations of my desire/craving for the moment… I'll be updating this thread over the days and weeks ahead… if anyone else feels like there's an area in their life where they'd like to work more on being mindful, please join me!
All the best,

The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos."

Rolling back malaria
Malaria is one of the most deadly infectious diseases in the world. According to the World Health Organization, in 2012 malaria was responsible for 627,000 deaths worldwide, 90% of which occurred in Africa. Pregnant women and children under five years of age are the primary victims. In Africa, one child dies of malaria every minute (1,2).
Since 2001, Sanofi has pursued a strategy of partnership with all those who are active in the fight against malaria: scientists, health authorities, NGOs, etc.
Sanofi and the Drugs for Neglected initiative foundation (DNDi) have developed an artemisinin-based combination therapy: ASAQ Winthrop® (artesunate, amodiaquine). This non-patented drug is manufactured by Sanofi in its Maphar plant in Morocco.
This antimalarial medication is sold according to a tiered- pricing policy which can reach "no profit – no loss" levels to major international organizations, governments and NGOs. ASAQ Winthrop® is now registered in 33 countries and more than 300 million treatments have been distributed since 2007, mostly in Africa (3).
To collect information about the safety and efficacy of this antimalarial drug, Sanofi has set up a field monitoring program in collaboration with the National Malaria Control Programs of participating countries. The program is carried out in partnership with DNDi, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), the WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN) and many scientists.
Artemisinin, extracted from plants, is one of the key components of current antimalarial drugs. To overcome the variability of crops, to minimize the risk of shortages, to avoid price fluctuations and reduce production time, Sanofi has developed an industrial process for the synthesis of artemisinin, which will complement plant supply. This innovation was carried out with the support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in partnership with PATH (an NGO specializing in the development of health solutions), the University of California, Berkeley and Amyris.
In terms of Research and Development, one of our priorities is to discover new avenues to combat resistance to existing malaria treatments.
A holistic approach is essential to prevent, diagnose and treat malaria. This is with this objective in mind, that Sanofi has developed, with our partners, information and education tools tailored to the local specificities, which are made available to Public Health authorities and NGOs.
Our "Training the Trainers" program is a cascade training approach designed to train community health workers on the management of malaria. Other initiatives are organized to inform communities and raise awareness about malaria and its prevention.
Children are the most impacted by malaria, and they are also tomorrow's adults. Therefore, training them is essential. Our "Schoolchildren against Malaria" program provides educational tools for teachers and children in Africa to teach the basics of malaria. This program has already reached more than 7.7 million children.

WEST TEXAS PIT MASTERSYear Started: 2011
For over 10yrs I've been barbecue/smoking for friends, family and events. The bar-b-queing started as back yard fun and experimenting. Over the course time it has become a passion of mine to make the best tasting foods. Our entry into the competitive circuit has always been a dream of mine. In the fall of 2011 I started to make the dream become a reality with the construction of my first mobile pit.

No excuse for that. go up strong and finish or get fouled. wow.
probably just didn't know how much time he had. not a terrible shot, any player can make it it just missed

Richie McCaw defies injury to start the semi-final against Wales, while flyhalf Aaron Cruden is elevated to the starting line-up.
Richard Kahui and Israel Dagg also come back into the side after injuries and run on at wing and fullback respectively, replacing Sonny Bill Williams (bench) and Mils Muliaina (injured). Cruden replaces Colin Slade, who torn a groin muscle against Argentina. Stephen Donald provides pivot cover on the wood.
McCaw has nursed a serious foot injury throughout the tournament and hasn't trained with the squad on-field as yet. His first involvement with the collective will come at the captain's run on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Andy Ellis is preferred to Jimmy Cowan as scrumhalf cover, while Ben Franks is also named on the bench after missing the win over the Pumas as a late withdrawal with stomach problem and Victor Vito is the loose forward reserve due to injury to Adam Thomson.
Speaking about the weight of responsibility on Cruden, the fourth flyhalf the All Blacks have used at the tournament, coach Graham Henry said: 'He's a bright rugby player, he knows the game well, he's captained a lot of teams, he directs the traffic well.
'It's a big game isn't it, the biggest game he's ever played in, the biggest game a lot of them have played in quite frankly. I'm sure it's challenging but he seems to be handling it well.'
Henry scoffed at the suggestion that the halfback pair of Piri Weepu and Cruden 'didn't get the job done' despite victory against the Wallabies in Sydney in September last year.
'In Cruden's case he's a year older, a lot more experienced, and I think that's important,' Henry said. 'You learn from those experiences. That was his first big test. Very seldom are people the finished product in their first outing. You get better with age and he'll be a very good footballer as time goes on. He's a very good footballer now.
'Piri was in that game, and he kicked a lot of penalties and conversions, and played particularly well. We finished up winning, so perhaps he did get the job done.'
There were reports that Sonny Bill Williams would start ahead of Kahui on the wing, but Henry was emphatic in his support of the latter. Sonny Bill has been a great player to bring off the bench. He can play a number of positions now and has become a bit of a supersub.
'Richard has played superbly. We held him back last week but this World Cup he's played some top footy. He seems to handle the big occasion well, it seems to bring the best out of him, and perhaps this is his best position. We didn't have any doubt that if he was right he'd be picked,' he said.
New Zealand – Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Richard Kahui, Aaron Cruden, Piri Weepu, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brad Thorn, Owen Franks, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock.
Subs: Andrew Hore, Ben Franks, Ali Williams, Victor Vito, Andy Ellis, Stephen Donald, Sonny Bill Williams

Just because the Ibis Hi-Fi Handlebar is constructed of Carbon does not mean it skimps on durability. The Hi-Fi Carbon Handlebar is so strong it wrecked the tests, and it only weighs in at 225 grams! Convenient cut-down markings allow handlebar width to be cut down as desired. The subtle, low profile graphics of the Hi-Fi Handlebar makes for one sleek, handsome addition.

Comments about Ibis Bicycles Ibis Hi Fi Carbon Handlebar:
I tried these bars out on a whim and WOW are they great… I am running them with a Thomson X4 stem and the combo is ridiculously stiff. These bars sold me on carbon MTB bars. While these bars are definitely a little heavier than other carbon bars, they make up for the slight weight penalty by being some of the most ridiculously stiff bars I've ever ridden. They still have the forgiving dampening characteristics of carbon, but when it gets time to wrestle them around in the chunks, they don't flex in scary ways like weight weenie XC carbon bars. A big part of that stiffness is the stem, though. Paired with a significantly stiff stem (like the Thomson), these bars are straight up beastly, and solid enough for endure riding. The ends are definitely thicker to hold up to lock-on grips, which is a big plus (I've seen lock-ons kill carbon bars, it ain't pretty).
I don't have an Ibis, and I don't enjoy cross-branding, but these bars are wider, cheaper and nicer-looking than the Thomson brand carbon bars. The Ibis branding turned out to be a non-issue, as the graphics on these bars are quietly ghosted-on, and are really only visible when they catch the midday sun in a very aesthetically pleasing fashion. They look great on the bike and would match a number of different types of bikes, making them good bars for people who routinely switch up frames and need a pair of bars that can go from bike to bike. Most people don't, but it's nice to have the option.
Totally recommended.

with Shokuchi Deirdre Carrigan
in the Wheelwright Center
Saturday, December 20, 2014
9 am - 5:30 pm
The word solstice derives from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still, to stop). At the solstices, the seasonal movement of the Sun's path (as seen from the perspective of Earth) comes to a stop before reversing direction. Winter solstice means the Sun stands still in winter.
In this one-day retreat from the busy business of the winter holiday season, we will stop, and come together to practice stillness in the traditions of Zen Buddhism and Yoga. In the warm enclosure of our retreat room, we will sit zazen, practice yoga asana and pranayama, reflect on the year that has been and our intention for the year to come, and end our day together by taking a quiet walk in the Green Gulch winter garden to watch the setting sun.
All levels of practitioners are welcome.
Fees: $90; $81 current SFZC members; $72 limited income.

The Stranger as Neighbor
by Eboo Patel | August 2010
For David Fraccaro, the immigration debate isn't just politics: It's faith.
When David Fraccaro preached his first sermon to his first congregation—a small United Church of Christ flock in New Jersey—a man got up halfway through and walked out. Needless to say, that was not the reaction this son of a UCC minister hoped for.
Eboo Patel is founder of the Interfaith Youth Core and author of Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation.

Recognized as one of the top ten great public health achievements of the 20th century by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's not often explained why water fluoridation is deemed so important for our health.
So why do all Minnesota municipal water supplies mandate fluoridation?
We asked Robert Jones, Ph.D., D.D.S., assistant professor and pediatric dentist in the University of Minnesota's School of Dentistry to help us understand:
"Fluoride basically gives you a protective coating on the tooth," said Dr. Jones. "It helps protect the enamel - the outer layer or white part of the tooth - that can dissolve from acid. This helps slow tooth decay and improves overall oral health."
Given that naturally occurring bacteria in the human mouth produce acids when exposed to bread, soda, juice and even baby formula; it's important to do something to prevent the demineralization - or breakdown - of tooth enamel.
What would happen if we stopped?
According to Jones, many people who observe the standard oral hygiene recommendations of brushing twice a day, rinsing with mouthwash, flossing and who eat a healthy, balanced diet might not notice a difference.
But those who don't have ideal oral hygiene and diet habits would likely experience significant dental decay in multiple teeth.
"It's similar to what would happen if we increased the speed limit," said Dr. Jones. "Lots of people can drive fast without a problem, but many others would get into accidents. With fluoride, like with speed limits, we're trying to help as many people as possible."
Because it's expensive to fluoridate your own water, fluoridation of city water helps keep our population's pearly-whites devoid of decay.

This was a complete dominating effort by the Jacksonville girls' soccer team.
And yet the mood of some of the Cardinals' players was as if they felt something was missing following Jacksonville's 5-0 win over South Brunswick on Friday night in the second round of the NCHSAA 3-A playoffs.
"We just have a lot of things that we can work on, like missed opportunities," junior Karley Holland said. "We either play to the goalkeeper to play it wide when we could finish some. It does get frustrating, but we keep telling ourselves that we can do it. We know we can because we do it in practice every day."
True, the Cardinals missed their fair share of chances against South Brunswick (12-8), the second seed from the Waccamaw Conference.
Jacksonville (18-3-2), the champion of the Coastal Conference, had three shots hit the post and one go off the cross bar and other shots sent just wide or to the goalie. The Cardinals were coming off a 6-0 win over Southern Nash in a first-round game that saw Jacksonville also miss some scoring chances.
"It's real frustrating. This is one of those (games) you want to go ahead and get it over with early because if you let teams hang around, they think they can play with you," Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said. "It takes one goal to get them in the game and the motivation is going their way. It's just something we keep working on."
But the Cardinals scored enough to advance to the third round against Coastal Conference foe D.H. Conley either on Tuesday or Wednesday. D.H. Conley beat Rocky Mount 3-2 in overtime on Friday.
Sophomore Leah Oswalt scored three goals and added an assist for the Cardinals, who had 24 shots to none for the Cougars.
"Leah puts herself in good spots…, and she's been a big plus for us down the stretch," Miller said. "It really starts in the midfield and then we try to get balls in. If we have the space out wide, we try to find it wide and Leah is able to get in."
But like she has done all season, Oswalt credits her other speedy forwards for helping her score.
"Our forwards are so fast and we use that a lot to our advantage," she said. "We just try to play the ball (up top) because we all are really fast, but we also have girls who can take shots from far out."
Oswalt's first goal came 14 minutes in off an assist from Kristina Stevenson. Oswalt's second goal gave Jacksonville a 3-0 lead eight minutes into the second half. She then completed the hat trick about three minutes later off an assist from Taylor Leyble.
But while Oswalt led the Cardinals in scoring, it was a goal from Holland that gave Jacksonville breathing room.
Holland gave JHS a 2-0 lead with 3:15 left in the first half after she played a pass from Rachel Owens, went around the goalie and shot from inside the 18-yard line.
"I was frustrated because I had a lot of missed opportunities myself," Holland said. "I just really wanted a goal. We were just winning 1-0 and then to get another one I think made us more confident."
Miller said Holland's goal was big.
"It alleviated the pressure," he said.
Leyble finished the scoring when she found the net off an Oswalt pass with 26:41 left.
While the Cardinals struggled at times finishing, their ball movement was good.
"Just moving off the ball, getting into spots and playing diagonal balls to where it's open," Holland said. "We are good at that."
South Brunswick 0 0— 0
Jacksonville 2 3— 5
GOALS—J: Oswalt 3, Holland, Leyble. ASSISTS—J: Stevenson, Leyble, Oswalt. IN GOAL—S: Bowers (14 saves), Herr (0 saves). J: Stenclik (0 saves), Moore (0 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—S 0, J 24. CORNER KICKS—S 0, J 12. RECORDS—S: 12-8, season complete. J: 18-3-2, hosts D.H. Conley in third round, date TBA.

The Groovy command line (groovy or groovy.bat) is the easiest way to start using the Groovy Language.
$groovy -help usage: groovy -c,--encoding <charset> specify the encoding of the files -e <script> specify a command line script -h,--help usage information -i <extension> modify files in place -l <port> listen on a port and process inbound lines -n process files line by line -p process files line by line and print result -v,--version display the Groovy and JVM versions
If you have a groovy script, you can edit and run the script immediately.
$ cat test.groovy println 'Hello Bonson' $ groovy test.groovy Hello Bonson
However you can also run such a simple groovy program by providing the script in the command line arguments.
$ groovy -e "println 'Hello Bob'" Hello Bob
This may not look useful, but it fits in with the UNIX tradition of chaining simple programs together to build powerful commands. Tools like perl, sed, awk and grep do these jobs very well. But many users have limited experience with these tools' arcane syntax and will be more familiar with Java and therefore Groovy.
$ grep -i ^groov /usr/share/dict/words | groovy -e 'print System.in.text.toUpperCase()' GROOVE GROOVELESS GROOVELIKE GROOVER GROOVERHEAD GROOVINESS GROOVING GROOVY
Because looping through STDIN or input files tends to be a common thing to do, groovy (and ruby, perl etc) provide shortcuts for this. currently broken, groovy not flushing output
-n will loop through each line of the input, and provide it to your script in the line variable.
grep -i ^groov /usr/share/dict/words | groovy -n -e 'println line.toUpperCase()'
If we definately want to print the output of each line we can use -p and shorten it to
grep -i ^groov /usr/share/dict/words | groovy -p -e 'line.toUpperCase()'
We can use the looping constructs along with -i, which writes the output back to the original files. And wreak havoc on our local file system, with wide-scale search and replace.
groovy -p -i .bak -e '(line =~ "<h\\d>(.*)</h\\d>").replaceAll("$1")' ~/Desktop/cooluri.html
Or to really get into groovy (literally)
find . -name \*.java | xargs groovy -p -i -e '(line =~ "@author James Strachan").replaceAll("@author Bobby Bonson")'
For more examples or inspiration browse through the search results for Perl One Liners
listen mode
Another groovy command line option is the ability to startup groovy in listen mode, which will attach groovy to a TCP port on your machine (-l <port> with a default port of 1960).
For each connection that is made to this port, groovy executes the supplied script on a line by line basis.
This oneliner will reverse every line that is thrown at it, try telnet to your machine on port 1960 to interact with this script.
groovy -l -e "println line.reverse()"
you can combine the -p option from earlier, to automatically print the result of your script
The following one liner is equivalent to the one liner immediately above.
groovy -l -p -e "line.reverse()"

|Introduction | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II key Features | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II sensor performance | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II versus competition | Conclusion
Sony's update to the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 includes provision for a optional EVF and a useful pull-out rear LCD, but the head line news is the inclusion of a newly developed back-illuminated Exmor R BSI-CMOS sensor with superior low-light performance. Read on to see how well the new sensor performs in our labs.
When Sony launched the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 in June 2012 it was well received for the compact dimensions and handy 28-100mm (equivalent) zoom range, but the main attraction was the imaging performance from its much larger than usual 1-inch type sensor. As the name suggests the RX100 II is this year's update, adding a number of useful refinements, including a hotshoe (importantly, with provision for a EVF), Wi-Fi with NFC capabilities and a pull-out rear LCD. It retains the 20-MPix pixel count of its predecessor but perhaps the most significant revision to this model is the new back-illuminated (BSI) sensor architecture, allowing a 40-percent increase in low-light sensitivity say Sony.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After analyzing the sensor performance of the new Sony RX100 II we've now had the opportunity to assess its Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 28-100mm (equivalent), f/1.8-4.9 zoom. Read on to see how well the lens performs.
To website
The Sony RX100 wasn't the first camera to feature a 1" sensor, but it was the first to fit it in a body as small as a conventional compact. The 13.3 x 8.8mm sensor may only be one-third the size of a typical DSLR chip but it's 2.7x larger than those used in most enthusiast compacts - meaning the RX100 was able to offer impressive image quality in a genuinely pocketable body.

Guys, you can't count
"As for color depth, the Sony has a comfortable lead of +1.67 stops over the G15"
22.5-19.9=2.6, not 1.6. Every bit doubles the number of different values, i.e. a stop.

Re: Guys, you can't count
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
2.6 bit for color depth means only 1.67 stop. For color depth a difference of 1.5 bits equals 1 stop of difference.
