MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day Newspaper, writes South African rugby should be about hope and not hatred.
In Canberra a South African rugby celebration continues to grow in excess. In Port Elizabeth this Saturday a celebration unrivalled in the unified history of South African rugby should also be about excess.
But individual and team triumph will be torture to a resentful audience. The freedom fighters are apparently the terrorists and Schadenfreude will be the champagne of choice when the Southern Kings play the Western Force in their Super Rugby debut.
The majority of South African rugby supporters have expressed their hatred for the Kings. Hate is the word that has constantly been emphasized, with bloggers delighting in supporting anyone who will be playing against the Kings. There is so much hatred, in especially the perceived failure of Luke Watson, who will captain the Kings this season.
It is a hatred so many white South Africans in the rugby community felt – and feel – towards former SA under 21 captain Clyde Rathbone when he moved to Australia and played for the Wallabies.
This hatred was extended to 2007 World Cup-winning coach Jake White when he left South Africa last year to coach the Brumbies.
Watson's crime was to criticize Afrikaners in 2007 and to say they controlled South African rugby. The blasphemy was to say he never grew up in a household that celebrated the Springbok jersey, and it was seen as a symbol of oppression. He told a group in informal discussion he loved the idea of playing for his country, but the Springbok jersey, in its traditional guise, was something he could vomit on given the historical association it held from his up bringing.
He was subsequently trialed, condemned, convicted and sentenced within sectors of South African media and society, as the sinner without a soul.
These same individuals also prayed to God for their own redemption for being vulnerable to daily mistakes in life choices. These same people are oblivious to the contradiction and hypocrisy.
Watson has publicly apologized to Afrikaners for his words. He has said he would have articulated his thoughts differently had he been more mature. He has said he wants to be a part of all that is good about rugby and South Africa. He said he was used as a political pawn and his move to England, where he captained Bath for two seasons, made him realize just how much he was used by politicians and how he allowed himself to be used.
He has said that in hindsight he would have done so many things differently. He has said sorry.
Watson has spoken of the privilege and responsibility to live in South Africa and to be leading the pioneers of Kings rugby.
The young Watson, schooled to oppose the Springbok jersey, is very different to the Watson of today who makes his own choices and wants to make a contribution to the life South African rugby and South African society as it is, and not to helping end what once was.
Apparently youngsters can't make mistakes, can't admit to them and can't expect any forgiveness if they happen to be Luke Watson. They can only expect continued hatred from those whose joy is defined by another's perceived failure.
In a unified South African rugby community, the division has never been stronger. How sad for those unwilling to forgive and incapable of celebrating change, be it in a view or in an action.
How sad for our rugby that so many have voiced their pleasure at the prospect of foreign team stuffing up the Kings. What betrayal to a young group of South African rugby players.
Port Elizabeth, this weekend is the greatest story in South African rugby's youthful unity, but when the parents (SARU) can't celebrate the first steps of the child they bought into this world, it can't be expected of the haters not to indulge in Schadenfreude.
Clyde Rathbone's comeback from injury, depression and a dark place in his life is a celebration, as is White's wonderful influence as coach of the Brumbies.
They are South Africans, as is Watson and the Kings, but those unaffected by their respective choices, triumphs and mistakes, detest them for these choices, triumphs and mistakes.
Euphoria for so many within South African rugby is proportionate to the relative failure of others.
It is as if they can only be successful if another fails.
Resentment ravages redemption and Schadenfreude is the stimulant when it is the sin in our rugby – and society.

Ring Tosses Complete Game Six-Hitter as Baseball Blanks Erskine 7-0 to Open Up Conference Play
February 24, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Tyler Ring (Concord, NC) tossed a complete game six-hitter while Kevin Price (Asheville, NC) went a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate as the Falcons scored a 7-0 shutout over Erskine College in Conference Carolinas baseball action on Friday afternoon. The win pushes Pfeiffer to 7-6 overall, 1-0 in league play while the Fleet fall to 5-5, 0-1.
The Falcons got on the board early in the third as Matt Wade (Chapel Hill, NC) and Jon Gray (Granite Falls, NC) each delivered run-scoring singles during a gusty afternoon at Joe Ferebee Field. An inning later, Wade again picked up a RBI-single that brought home Cole McGraw (Claremont, NC) while Price later registered an RBI infield-single with a Fleet throwing error on the same play. Adding insurance in the sixth and eighth, Price would drive home Wade before Justin Harris (Albany, NY) drew a bases loaded walk in the eighth.
The Falcons out-hit Erskine 17-6 on the day behind Rings masterpiece. Ring scattered just six hits with a walk and pair of strikeouts in the win. Ring faced four more hitters than the nine inning minimum. At the plate, Wade would finish his day 4-for-4 with a pair of RBI and three runs scored while McGraw concluded 3-for-4. Drew Willingham (Greenwood, SC) and Cody Spence (Belton, SC) each collected two of Erskines six hits on the day.
Both teams are back at on Saturday afternoon in a Conference Carolinas doubleheader beginning at 12:00 p.m.

Hershey, before receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital
Today the ASPCA arrested Queens resident Grimilda Amil for allegedly neglecting and starving her three-year-old male Yorkshire terrier, who has been recovering under our care for nearly two months.
Amil brought her Yorkie, Hershey, to an ASPCA Mobile/Spay Neuter Clinic on June 27. Alarmed at Hershey's condition, Clinic staff called our Humane Law Enforcement Agents, who quickly responded.
Amil relinquished ownership of Hershey to the ASPCA, and Agents transported the tiny dog to the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
There, veterinarians determined Hershey— whom they found to be emaciated, anemic and suffering from pressure sores—had been starved. At that time, Hershey weighed just 5.2 pounds. Today he weighs in at 10.1 pounds, a 94% increase!
Hershey is completing his recovery in a caring ASPCA foster home. When he's ready, he'll be made available for adoption.
Amil, 55, was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, she faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. She is due in Queens Criminal Court on October 4.
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please don't hesitate to report it.
The bitch should be put in jail starved and left to rot.
The bitch should be put in jail starved and left to rot.
Don't give HER any food for awhile to see how she feels . . .
The bitch should be put in jail starved and left to rot.
The bitch should be put in jail starved and left to rot.
What was the family's financial situation? Florida was hit hard by the recession. Did she have the ability to feed the animal?
Have 2 yorkies at home, agree with all comments she should get more than what she'll probably get... So cruel what people do, I wish my wife and me could take all of them.
I have alway's loved animals. I would bring home anything lost and take care of anything. Now I have two dogs and a cat with health problems. I've worked out the pain meds with my vet. But, my serious problem is my oldes dog porcia. She always had this fatty tumer on her knee and he was never a problem. Now this thing has grown so large it looks like a limb. Even tho I work I am now a on my own with many health problems and cannot afford to have porcia taken care of. I wrote to the Animal welfare office the vet said I should contact but they did not respond. I love my dog more then you can ever emagine but if someone saw her they would think I have neglected her health. What does a person in my situation do. I have claimed bankrupcy a couple years ago and I can't really get any kind of credit to take care of this problem. My cat was found in the snow 3 1/2 years ago and it seems to be doing so much better then when we found it. Yet I've never had him checked by a vet either. But I'm not to concerned because it has really come around with love and attention. Never owned or even came across a cat before the one I have but I couldn't bare to see it suffer like it was. Please help me with Porcia I don't want to loose her.
This monster is pure evil. When you can inflict that much pain to an innocent animal, you are capable of anything. She should be put in jail and slowly be starved the whole year. That would be justice for Hershey. It's so great you've saved him. I don't know how many times I've written letters and called about animal cruelty. I've received form letters offering no help. I guess evil is on the bottom of priorities for them.
I am so glad to hear about Hershey's progress. When I first saw the photo of him I grabbed my Yorkie-Sugar- and held her and cried! Promiseing her she would NEVER go through the horrors Hershey endured while holding her to my heart! It pleases me to hear that the owner was arrested and will be tried in a court of law for what she did to that sweet loving little dog! God Bless the ASPCA and I am proud to be a member!! If I were in the area I would gladly want to be put on the list to adopt Hershey when he is well enough! All dogs deserve kind,loveing homes no matter what!


text: I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone on this site a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you get at least part of what you want for Christmas, and take a moment to remember the real reason for the season. I look forward to serving as your Prez during the new year, and have high hopes for good things to come. Thanks for the support you have given so far, I'll try to prove myself worthy of it.

Vol. 29 , No. 01
Democracy is for Amateurs
Public Viewing: McKenna Auditorium 6:45 p.m.
Civic entrepreneur, author, and educator Eric Liu is this year's freshman class speaker. Liu served as both a speechwriter and Deputy Domestic Policy Advisor for President Bill Clinton. Liu has emerged as a prominent national voice on the ideals of citizenship, patriotism, and democracy. He is a frequent contributor to MSNBC, and is a regular correspondent for TIME.com and TheAtlantic.com.
Liu wrote The True Patriot (2007), a national bestselling book that argues progressives must reclaim patriotism, and founded the Patriot Network to advance the book's call for progressive patriotism. Previously, Liu authored Guiding Lights: The People Who Lead Us Toward Our Purpose in Life (2006), and The Accidental Asian: Notes of a Native Speaker (1999), a New York Times notable book. In 2002 the World Economic Forum named Liu one of the top 100 "Global Leaders of Tomorrow."
Liu recently founded Citizen University in an effort to combat the rising trend of what he calls "citizen detachment." According to Liu, government works best when ordinary Americans flex their citizen muscles and play a more active and participatory role in the political process.
This dinner is only open to freshman, but additional seating will be available in McKenna Auditorium for those wishing to hear the talk. Freshmen are automatically signed up for this dinner, and must contact the Athenaeum to cancel their reservation if they do not plan to attend.
FDR and the Jews
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is consistently ranked among the top presidents by presidential scholars for his keen stewardship through the Great Depression and his wartime leadership during the Second World War. And yet during his administration, the Nazi Regime in Germany waged a campaign of mass murder with impunity. How do we reconcile the first image of Roosevelt, bold and resolute, with his inaction against the Nazi genocide of the Jews of Europe? This is the central question of FDR and the Jews, by Richard Breitman and Allan J. Lichtman, history professors at American University. The book is hailed for its nuanced argument that Roosevelt "was neither a hero of the Jews nor a bystander to the Nazis' persecution and then annihilation of the Jews. No simple or monolithic characterization of this complex president fits the historical record."
Richard Breitman received his B.A. and M.A. from Yale University and his Ph.D. from Harvard University. He is either the author or co-author of ten books and many articles in German history, U.S. history, and the Holocaust. His most recent previous work was Hitler's Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, U.S. Intelligence, and the Cold War, co-authored with Norman J.W. Goda. He is best known for The Architect of Genocide: Himmler and the Final Solution (Knopf 1991) and Official Secrets: What the Nazis Planned, What the British and Americans Knew (Hill and Wang, 1998), a finalist for National Jewish Book Award.
Previously, Professor Breitman directed of historical research for the Nazi War Criminal Records and Imperial Japanese Records Interagency Working Group, which helped to bring about declassification of more than eight million pages of U.S. government records under a 1998 law. He is also an editor of the scholarly journal entitled Holocaust and Genocide Studies. At American University, he teaches courses in modern European history.
Lizz Free or Die!
With a sharp wit and keen appreciation of current events, Lizz Winstead has fashioned a successful career as a political satirist, performer, and writer. Winstead is a co-creator and former head writer of The Daily Show, and a co-founder of Air America Radio.
As a performer, Lizz Winstead served as correspondent on The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn and later as a host on Unfiltered, AirAmerica Radio's mid-morning show, where she recruited famous figures like Hip Hoplegend, Chuck D, and later MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. Winstead is currently touring the country from Los Angeles to New York City.
Winstead's political satire work has been featured and commented on in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly's 100 Most Creative People issue and she has made numerous television appearances, including on HBO and Comedy Central. She also appears in weekly segments on The Ed Show on MSNBC and HLN's The Joy Behar Show. When Winstead is not on stage, she writes for The Guardian, The Huffington Post and blogs at her website lizzwinstead.com.
In May of 2012, Lizz Winstead published her first book, Lizz Free Or Die, a series of personal essays. In reference to the book, comedian Sarah Silverman says, "reading Lizz Winstead's hilarious collection of very personal essays somehow leaves you changed. You laugh, and yet there are nutrients in her words."
Lizz Winstead's visit to the CMC campus is sponsored by the Center for Writing and Public Discourse.
What Makes a Family?
Zach Wahls tried to answer that very question when he testified before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee in January, 2011.
The son of two lesbian mothers, the 19-year-old University of Iowa engineering student had no idea that his heartfelt testimony that day would spread like viral wildfire, and even land him on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. A state champion in high school debate and multiple national finalist in competitive acting, Zach was no stranger to speaking before an audience. Yet, he had never talked about his family in a public setting or in such open and candid terms.
On his way home from the public hearing, he thought that his work was, for all practical purposes, finished. Just two days after he testified during that hearing, however, a YouTube video of his testimony went viral, garnering nearly two million views with millions more via Facebook, Twitter, national and international television, and other online media. Although initially hesitant to share his story on such a vast stage, Zach remembered the famed words of his favorite superhero's uncle, Ben Parker: "With great power comes great responsibility." Never before in his life had he had such an opportunity to stand up and speak out on behalf of his family. So he did what any of us would do, deciding to advocate for family and families like his all over the country.
After appearing on numerous television programs in person and his testimony airing on MSNBC, ABC, CBS and CNN, Zach found himself working on a book, My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family (2012). Zach shares a story that has never before been told, and offers a fresh, bold perspective on a recently rekindled - and always contentious - issue: gay marriage.
Zach Wahls' visit to campus is jointly sponsored by the Athenaeum and the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children.
A Conversation with Sterling Lord: CANCELLED
DINNER: 6:00 p.m.; PROGRAM 6:45 p.m. Parents Dining Room
In 1951 a virtually unknown Jack Kerouac brought a manuscript of a book to Robert Giroux, the editor publisher who became the founder of Farrar, Straus & Giroux. It wasn't a traditional manuscript: it was a single, massive typed scroll, 119-foot-8-inch. Legend has it that Giroux rejected the book. Actually, he never even read it. He told the young author to retype it as a conventional manuscript. Kerouac then sought out a literary agent who could help him get the book published. He took the recommendation of Giroux and showed up at the one-room office of literary agent Sterling Lord. Lord found the book fascinating but selling it was not easy. Lord persisted for four years, after numerous rejections and the despair of the author. "I had no idea whether or not it was going to be a success or not. But I thought Kerouac's voice was different and should be heard." He eventually persuaded Viking Press to publish On the Road, which appeared in 1957 to a strong review in The New York Times.Literary history shifted. Since its publication, sales of the book in the United States have topped 5 million copies; the manuscript scroll was sold in 2001 at auction for $2.43 million.
Since representing Kerouac, Sterling Lord has become a dean of literary agents. In his new memoir, Lord of Publishing, Lord recounts his adventures in publishing and, above all, his love of writers and writing. He has represented Ken Kesey, Frank Deford, Terry Southern, Gloria Naylor, Nicholas Pileggi, Howard Fast, and Dick Francis among many other distinguished authors. He has, inevitably, turned down many, including Lyndon Johnson.
Lord came to the New York world of publishing from Burlington, Iowa, where his father managed a small store and taught his son the art of bookbinding. Starting as a magazine editor, Lord shifted to representing authors. He has been a prime mover and witness to the major changes in book publishing over the last half century.

The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail- But Some Don't
Nate Silver is one of the nation's most influential political forecasters and popular statisticians. In 2008, Silver founded his blog, FiveThirtyEight.com, which provides a data-driven analysis of everything from politics to technology to sports. The site drew acclaim for providing in-depth and accurate political forecasts of the 2008 and 2012 national elections. According to one statistic, on the eve of the national election in 2012, one in five people going to The New York Times website were visiting FiveThirtyEight.
Silver's influential role in political forecasting was by no means a given for an economics major from the University of Chicago interested in baseball. In 2002, Nate Silver was working as a consultant for the accounting firm KPMG when he developed a new method for predicting the performance of baseball players, which was quickly acquired by the Web site Baseball Prospectus. Using his knowledge of statistics, Silver engaged himself for a time playing professional poker before becoming interested in political predictions. After the 2008 presidential election when he correctly predicted the results of the primaries and the presidential winner in 49 states, his blog became an overnight sensation.
While only 35, Nate Silver has earned numerous awards and accolades. In September 2008, FiveThirtyEight became the first blog to be selected as a Notable Narrative by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. Silver has been named among TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2009 and Rolling Stone's 100 Agents of Change. in 2012 and 2013. He was also named OUT magazine's person of the year in 2012.
In September 2012, Silver published, The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail—but Some Don't. Reviewing the book for The New York Times, Noam Scheiber predicted, "it could turn out to be one of the more momentous books of the decade." Upon release, the book became a best seller on The New York Times list for nonfiction and Amazon.com named it as the best nonfiction book of 2012.
Nate Silver is the inaugural Res Publica Speaker for the 2013-2014 academic year.
Women's Rights and Women's Wrongs – Sexual Harassment in the Workplace and Sexual Assault on College Campuses
Gloria Allred has been practicing law for over thirty-two years. Through her cases on behalf of women's rights, and rights for minorities discriminated against because of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, or physical condition, Allred has emerged as a prominent activist. Her law firm, Allred, Maroko & Goldberg is well known for their work on behalf of victims in civil rights, rape, child abuse, and murder cases.
Allred currently serves as president of the Women's Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, and Time magazine called her "one of the nation's most effective advocates of family rights and feminist causes." In 1986 President Reagan awarded her the President's Volunteer Action Award for her development of a child support amnesty program in California. Allred is the author of Fight Back and Win – My Thirty-Year Fight Against Injustice and How You Can Win Your Own Battles (2006), where she shares lessons from her extensive experience fighting for victims.
Allred has gained prominent national attention for her involvement in high profile cases. She represented the family of OJ Simpson's slain wife; Mel Brown (Scary Spice) in a paternity suite against Eddie Murphy; and women harassed by Tiger Woods, Anthony Wiener, and Herman Cain, among many others. Allred also took on the case of a Miss Universe contestant who was ousted after it was discovered she was born male, Meg Whitman's undocumented housekeeper after it was suspected she was fired for political reasons, and victims of sexual assault at Occidental College.
Ms. Allred's Athenaeum talk is jointly sponsored by the Athenaeum, ASCMC, the Kravis Leadership Institute, the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children, and the Center for Writing and Public Discourse.

U.S. Policy toward Korea: Containment and Engagement
Since the end of World War II, the United States has played an important role in the management of Korean affairs. The Truman Administration was instrumental in establishing the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in 1948 as a rival to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). When North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, the United States led the U.N.-mandated efforts to rescue South Korea and encountered costly military confrontation with China. At the end of the war, the United States embraced South Korea as one of its client states, concluded a mutual security treaty with South Korea as an essential link in its regional containment system, and guaranteed peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. At times the United States pursued a policy of constructive engagement toward North Korea in an attempt to persuade the latter's nuclear disarmament, but without success so far. While South Korea has become a democratic, prosperous, open, and vibrant country, North Korea remains as a poor, isolated, militant, and dictatorial system. In his Athenaeum address Professor Chae-Jin Lee will discuss the evolution of America's complex relations with both Koreas and will explore how the United States has dealt with North Korea's defiant challenges and what the United States can do in supporting the processes of inter-Korean reconciliation and the ultimate goal of Korean reunification.
Professor Chae-Jin Lee is Professor Emeritus of Government at CMC and plans to teach "U.S. Policy in Asia" spring semester 2014. He is also a Visiting Professor at Korea National Diplomatic Academy. A prominent scholar of U.S. foreign policy and East Asia (Korea, China, Japan), Professor Lee was Bank of America Professor of Pacific Basin Studies and Director of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC for 20 years. He also taught at University of Washington, University of Kansas, UC (San Diego), and U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.
Professor Lee received B.A. from Seoul National University and Ph.D. from UCLA A prolific scholar, his publications include: A Troubled Peace: U.S. Policy and Two Koreas (2006); China and Korea: Dynamic Relations (1996); Zhou Enlai: The Early Years (1994); and The United States and China: Changing Relations and Regional Implications (1991). He also serves on editorial boards for several journals, including Asian Survey, Asia Policy, Asian Perspective, Journal of Pacific Asia, Journal of Peace and Unification, and International Journal of Korean Studies.
August Kleinzahler Reads from The Hotel Oneira
DINNER 6:00 p.m.; PROGRAM 6:45 p.m.
Please join us to hear August Kleinzahler read from his new book of poetry, The Hotel Oneira. From Publisher's Weekly: "Kleinzahler's first since his new-and-selected Sleeping It Off in Rapid City (2008) finds the peripatetic, polymathic, and sometimes dyspeptic poet in terrific form . . . What stays, and what ought to impress any reader, are the range and the command that Kleinzahler has over so many flavors and kinds of American English."
For his own part, Kleinzahler doesn't like to call himself a poet. He says "most poets are shiftless, no-account fools." Yet he has been very successful avoiding this stereotype; his work has been described by The New York Times as "a modernist swirl of sex, surrealism, urban life and melancholy with a jazzy beat."
Kleinzahler was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1949, and raised in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After graduating from the University of Victoria, he wrote a music column for the San Diego Reader before starting his career as an author, essayist, and poet. He is the author of ten books of poetry, including: The Strange Hours Travelers Keep (2004), winner of the International Griffin Poetry Prize; Live from the Hong Kong Nile Club: Poems: 1975-1990 (2000); Green Sees Things in Waves (1999); and Red Sauce, Whiskey and Snow (1995). He is also the author of the meditative memoir Cutty, One Rock: Low Characters and Strange Places, Gently Explained (2004).
His reputation as a divisive, opinionated figure was confirmed in 2004 when he wrote a scathing response to Garrison Keillor's poetic taste on his NPR segment in Poetry Magazine. He critiqued Keillor for his persistent selection of only "anecdotal" and "wistful" poems.
Kleinzahler's honors include a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Lila Acheson-Reader's Digest Award for Poetry, an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Berlin Prize Fellowship, the Griffin International Poetry Prize, and the post of poet laureate in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
August Kleinzahler is a visiting lecturer in the department of literature and a Gould Fellow.

CWB Transcend Wakeboard 142 w/ Answer Bindings - Men's
The Transcend was designed with input from riders of all ability levels. I wanted a high-end board that would work for a broad range of riders. Every design detail on the Transcend is there for function and ultimately control. We focused on control in the edging, speed, huge pop and soft landings. The traction comes from the 4 fin set up with the ability to still release at the top of the wake. The bolt-on aluminum extensions let the rider dial in the exact bite they are looking for. The speed of the board stays with you, not taking off in front of you or lagging behind. The pop of the Transcend is unique in that it's a subtle 3-stage board. The pop is generated under your back leg and up through your center of gravity. That is a fancy way of saying it has a ton of pop. Extending the center spine from tip to tail softens up the landings, while being subtle enough not to affect the board transition edge to edge. The end product of so much testing is a board that works well for the most advanced riders but still works for someone learning their first wake jump. The graphics are unreal for 2012. I don't know if I should ride it or hang it on the wall. Okay, I am leaning more towards riding it!

On Thursday night, the Lady Wave played one of their better games of the season so far. West Point played host to Okolona and defeated the Lady Chieftains 55-39. West Point had excellent bench play as the subs scored a combined 23 points. Qiayon Bailey led the Lady Wave against Okolona with 23 points. Also leading in scoring were Alexis Gates 9 points, Tyshia McCurry with 6 points, and Anqulisha Evans with 5 points.
Friday night, the Lady Wave were outmatched by Starkville as the Lady Yellow Jackets never trailed to West Point. The Lady Wave played a stronger second half, but it was for naught because the lead was already too great to overcome. Starkville was the victors on the night 66-37.
Both teams needed to find their rhythm during the first quarter, and by the midway point the Lady Wave only trailed 7-4. But a strong close to the quarter for Starkville saw the Lady Jackets enter the second quarter with a 17-8 lead. Qiayon Bailey scored all eight points for West Point showing her importance for the Lady Wave offense. During the second quarter, West Point had a hard time truly staying involved as the game stayed in favor of the Lady Jackets. At halftime, Starkville had extended their 9-point lead to 21 and the score read 46-25.
West Point came out of the halftime interval with a little more confidence and asserted themselves a little bit more. Yet, the Lady Jackets were already in too much control and closed out the game with a final score 66-37.
"It just goes back to being young, we just need to find that confidence to believe in ourselves." said Head Coach Kendall Pickens about his Lady Wave dealing with a strong Starkville, "At halftime we realized we could play with them but it was too late."
Scoring for the Wave on Friday night was Bailey with 24 points leading the way. Also Shamaya Lyles put up 5 points, and Evans, McCurry, Gates, and Alicia Witherspoon all put up 2 points.
The Lady Wave remain at home to take on Noxubee County on Tuesday night December 4. Tip-off is set for six o'clock.

Two artists who are respected and sought after as individual performers are blending their talents in the fourth concert of the Wayne Community Concerts 2012-13 season.
Lauren Kennedy and Alan Campbell have resumés that include starring roles in Broadway musicals such as "Les Miserables," "South Pacific" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
In Saturday's performance, the artists — also husband and wife — will place their microphones side by side to present a duet of music and laughter to delight the audience. "It Takes Two" will turn "his" and "hers" into an evening of "ours."
Kennedy is a Raleigh native who was personally chosen to perform by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Campbell is a tenor from Florida. Their individual and collective charisma and charm will exude from opening number to encore.
Their names are recognizable in Wilson and surrounding areas because of their bond to the Wilson and Barton College communities. This connection was even more deeply forged in 2009 when the Lauren Kennedy and Alan Campbell Theatre opened on the Barton College campus.
The next concert will be "Pianafiddle" on May 11.
For season membership and other information, call the Arts Council of Wayne County, 919-736-3300.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
It could be because it's such a stupid job. Sitting in a darkened room, staring at a flickering screen, mumbling to yourself, trying to figure out why the page renders one pixel too far to the left.
Perhaps the girls are just too smart :-)
Cultural factors at work. Many of the answers here cite biological differences, but I find that difficult to believe given:
As a female programmer, I have to say that I have rarely met resistance or discrimination from any man. Most seem happy that a girl has walked into a male-dominated arena with her head held high. Coworkers are mostly pleasant, and I've never felt held back or underpaid.
However, I dread being asked by a woman what I do for a living. Nearly always am I either immediately ignored, told off, or receive a slight disgusted look. Or they completely misunderstand what I meant by programming and start talking about doing art for websites.
From my experiences women are put off by programming for two reasons:
While the second reason is culturally driven, I think the first reason is primarily due to biology. This seems to be backed up by studies I've seen on the relative performance of women and men at multi-tasking. It's possible that the whole thing is 100% cultural, but it seems unlikely. I find it very hard to believe that the biological difference between men and women is strictly cosmetic, when the cosmetic difference is so radical.
While I agree there is gender inequality in the field of programming, I reject the implication that we should strive for a 50/50 split. Gender equality is not about statistics, it is about individual opportunity. We should have equal encouragement and opportunity for girls and boys to get into the field of programming, and equal treatment after they enter the field. But we can get that equal opportunity and still end up with an 80/20 split.
Probably something to do with social expectations. It wasn't that long ago we were supposed to stay at home and raise a family, and it takes a while for that to work its way out of a generation.
I would have voted up and commented on the other answer that had similar content to mine (and was voted down), but I need to add support to the biological component despite my lack of 15 reputation to do so.
Before you vote me (or him) down, consider whether political correctness is impairing your critical thinking. Males and females are very different, in a multitude of areas. Women have demonstrated in numerous cultures that they are just as capable as men in being able to learn the skills and perform the tasks involved with highly technical professions such as programming, but the disparity comes down to a case of motivation.
Whilst there are certainly exceptions to every rule (some boys like dolls, some girls like guns), by and large, women trend towards feminine activities (which tend to have a focus on creative and social components) and men trend towards masculine activities (which tend to have technical, physical and competitive components).
This is not 50's chauvinism at work, this is millions of years of evolution and biology. Women are not discouraged from this field at all, they just don't trend towards actually being interested in it at all.
Most games are targeted at the macho market. Don't underestimate that hook. I would have never ended up in an IT field if I didn't have to fight with 640 KB to get games to run.
I think part of the answer lies in the answer to one of the hardest questions in a marriage (assuming it's a traditional marriage): Why does the woman care so much about that paint color while the man cares so little?
In my country, take an example of my class. there was around 62 students in computer science engineering out of which 24 was girls. Believe me or not out of 24 twenty got passed with good score. Imagine out of first 10 students 7 was girls. Of course they showed more intelligence than boys but alas only 3-4 of them are interested in doing job. They all wanted to get higher degree but not to work. I asked to few of them and they replied that they just want to get married and nothing else.
But from last two years I can see lots of female programmers and they are working very good.
And the moral of the story is that "It's all about necessity and interest".
Hanselman had an interesting podcast not too long ago that dealt with women programmers in the Muslim world. He interviewed two women and their perspective on why there are so few western women in IT was surprising.
I could be misremembering but I think freedom of choice was cited. Also, one woman's story was dripping with irony: she wanted to leave IT but her father made her stick with it.
There is a big biological part. We are programmed to behave differently, and thanks to that, we can combine our efforts to allow procreation. But this doesn't prevent us to do "unconventional" decisions. In fact, I like the idea to be unconventional.
There is also the cultural aspect. In western countries, it's not common, but in some countries like India, there is a lot of female programmers. Certainly because there, programming is less a passion than a profession.
Still today, I've haven't met any girl programming by passion. I know they exist since one of them actually wrote a wonderful book called "Design Patterns, Head First".
I believe it's a combination of the biological & cultural reason.
The same question gets asked for the engineering field and I think that here in the United States the "answer" that most people have started to accept is that there are cultural differences that lead young women to make different career choices than men. Likewise, I've read a couple articles saying that women who started out interested in going into software development decided not too after starting college for a verity of reasons (e.g. harassment by men, didn't find the classes interesting, work was too tedious, etc).
One interesting issue is that the statistics can be skewed a bit by industry in that some sectors have a more balanced gender ratio (assuming that 50-50 is possible). Based upon my observations in the industry I work in, there are a lot more women doing laboratory work than men and a fairly even distribution of women with PhDs as well. On the IT side of things, the development teams tend to have more women in them, but usually they are roles such as project manager or analyst as opposed to the developer positions.
The US Department of Labor has some interesting reading on this subject from a more generallized standpoint in their Women's Bureau section if you want a bit of light reading.
As a woman and a programmer, I used to ask myself the same question, until I got to graduate school. Most of the people in my information systems program were women, and most were not Americans. In this country, men have historically migrated more to programming for a variety of reasons others have discussed. In many other countries, there doesn't seem to be such a difference. I'm curious to know why this might be the case.
Simon Baron Cohen*, in The Essential Difference: Male And Female Brains And The Truth About Autism, suggests that there's a spectrum of brain masculinity/femininity, where on one end you have autism and people with generally a strong ability to analyze things systematically, and on the other end of the spectrum you have people with strong empathy. The more "male" the brain is (which is dependent, iirc, on hormone secretions during pregnancies, and other factors) the more it tends to be located toward the first end of the spectrum. If true, this can be a partial cause of having less women in exact sciences, engineering, and so on. There are of course other reasons, for example external social factors.

An interesting read.
There's a lot of truth in this answer.
I probably wouldn't have become a programmer if it weren't for my dad. Waaaay back when VB5 was shiny and new, my dad had gone as far as he could go as a mechanic in the Air Force, so made a career change and went to school for a degree in microcomputer science.
He showed me one of his homework assignments: it was a square shown on screen, you click on the square and turns into a circle, you click on the circle and it turns back into a square. Was I impressed? No. More like BLOWN AWAY BY THE SHEER AMOUNT OF AWESOME.
I asked my dad how he did it, and it seemed so easy. So he'd always show me his programming assignments, asking me if I could figure them out, we had some pet projects we worked on together like a poker hand evaluator and centipede game, etc.
I loved it! I always stole my dads textbooks and taught myself how to program, made cute little apps as a hobby, and 10 years later it spiraled out of control and became a career. I'm now a better programmer than my dad.
There's another female developer on my team who has almost exact same story.
We care about more than just boys and make up. I think its important for programmers, dads especially, to be involved in developing their daughters latent talents and interests.
There's a factor I haven't seen mentioned yet.
I'm not claiming that it's universal, but I remember a not-too-subtle undercurrent of sexism and outright misogyny in my CS program, both among the professors and other students. Given that I can count the number of women who went through the program with me on one hand, I think there's a correlation. The program my wife went through at a different school was an order of magnitude worse; she was repeatedly groped by a classmate, and her complaints were met with a "tough shit" from the department chair (she quit the program shortly afterward).
My industry experience hasn't been that much different; if you're a reasonably attractive woman, you are a target for inappropriate attention from some fairly gross personalities. You'll be valued for your programming skills, yes, but you're just as valued for your boobs.
Based on my experience.
Back when I was college, female population where more than the male when we graduated in our IT department. But after that, those females did not went to seek jobs that inline them. One said, trouble about programming just have to stay to her college life. Maybe that's one reason.
Jokes apart, reason could be nature of Job like sitting in front of an computer and thinking is not an easy task.
I think social perceptions and pressure. I think as the trendy girl gamers evolve perhaps we'll see more female programmers. Maybe they should have more computer programmer Barbie dolls, shrug.
What's funny is the first programmer is female, Ada Lovelace.
Looking around me, I think a lot of it has to do with lifestyle. Put simply, the programming lifestyle as described by a lot of men (take start ups as an example), where it's almost a complete obsession, just doesn't appeal to women.
In the areas where it's more stable - say maintenance/systems programing/systems admin, more stable working environment with some recognition of life outside cubicle/desire not to depend on pizza boxes for lunch....there are more women.
Women are inherently good at problem solving. When the problem is "lifestyle is rubbish", then the solution is "don't get involved".
I've seen similar debates where women are pretty much castigated for not going about programming the male way - they don't pull the all nighters, or the obsession and that's somehow less? However, in my experience, that doesn't mean they write worse code (often it's better). But the programming culture in many - dare I say it - Anglo-Saxon programming shops is unattractive.
I'm a bit surprised by the question, perhaps I was under the misimpression, that a heavily skewed gender ratio was peculiar to my particular workplace. Having done the higher education thing in the 1970s, women in physics and engineering were rarities, but it seemed that quite a few ended up in computer science, and even mathematics. I currently work at an ME software vendor, the ratio of user trainee's in class (these would be practicing MEs, not programers), is maybe 15-20% women. Compared to the low single digits percent that was common when I was that age, that looks pretty good to me. I assumed programmers would have an even greater female participation ratio.
One anecdotal observation regarding my own family. I did software as a career, not by choice, but because it was the only decent career path available to me. I wanted to avoid it -you spend most of your time struggling with complicated broken things, which isn't my idea of something which promotes mental health.
In any case my wife had started out as a programmer, but her first job was very unpleasant assembly code maintenence for a now defunct computer manufacturer. She hated that and switched to technical writing and would never again consider any sort of programming. So perhaps the differential social pressure to make a high wage, even if the profession isn't that intrinsically attractive is part of the reason the schooling to the profession pipeline leakrate is so skewed.

New Orleans Hornets General Manager
no offense to anyone, but this thread has pretty much wandered far away from the topic....whatever it was...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
I wonder if Dell used the buyout money for his own contract?
Yes, you were right about Matt Carroll. And the rest of us were right about how to spell "barely." We all get things right sometimes and wrong other times. That's life. No need to boast about it.
Hakim Warrick Wanted Buyout From Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets recently shipped veteran forward Hakim Warrick to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for forward Matt Carroll. The Hornets acquired Warrick from the Phoenix Suns in the deal that also netted the team center Robin Lopez and a second-round pick (2014).
According to sources close to the situation, Warricks camp had been working on securing a buyout for the veteran over the past couple months so the forward could choose his next career destination. However, they couldnt come to a separation agreement with the Hornets.
Warrick is set to earn $4 million this season, with a team option for the 2014 season.
From the beginning, it appeared Warrick didnt fit Hornets head coach Monty Williams preferred style of play. After the Hornets preseason loss to Atlanta, Williams told HOOPSWORLD that Warrick needed to learn to play the teams style.
He has to keep working, Williams said to HOOPSWORLD of Warrick back in October. He has to keep working at it and hes got to play the way that we play.
Warrick has appeared in one game with the Bobcats, playing ten minutes while scoring five points and pulling down four rebounds.
Does this mean we just shipped out Warrick for nothing and still have to settle a buy out for his contract in 2013/14?
I'm confused.
Warrick is the Bobcats' problem.

We'll see what happens with Carroll and the money.

The GOP has come up with their latest reason to oppose gay marriage. It's not so much about the sanctity of marriage anymore, or the need for children to have a mother and father…they've about given up on the legal angle as they're not getting support from the courts and more and more states are approving same-sex marriage.
The reason du jour is that it would be a huge burden on small businesses to have to add new spouses to their health insurance packages.
Republicans can reach a broader base by recasting gay marriage as an issue that could dent pocketbooks as small businesses spend more on health care and other benefits, GOP Chairman Michael Steele said Saturday.
Never mind that BushCo never missed a chance to encourage marriage. But only among straight folk.
I guess straight spouses don't cost the small business owner anything to cover them on the company health plan.
These guys are pathetic. Really.

Pfeiffer Athletics to Offer Free Season Tickets for Locked Out NBA Fans/Employees of the Bobcats
October 12, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Already cancelling the first two weeks of the NBA season and on the verge of scrapping the rest of the 2011-2012 season with players and owners arguing over millions of dollars, Pfeiffer University would like to unlock an economically-minded basketball option for the true season-ticket-holding fans of the NBA.
The Pfeiffer University athletics department will offer free season tickets for their 21 upcoming home games during the mens and womens 2011-2012 seasons to anyone who had NBA season tickets with the Charlotte Bobcats or any other NBA team last year or for the upcoming locked out season. Also, any game-day employees of the Bobcats are invited to take advantage of this free season ticket offer with more free time coming up as a result of the lockout.
The Falcons want to extend the invitation of free season tickets to more than just the areas Charlotte Bobcats fans. In honor of Conference Carolinas, the NCAA II league in which Pfeiffer competes in, recently dividing into east and west divisions, the invitation will be open to fans of the other NBA Eastern Conference rivals of the Bobcats as well as all Western Conference opponents.
We want to be able to give the basketball junkies a dose of basketball at the pure level where players are still excited to play without millions of dollars, remarked Mary Ann Sunbury, Athletic Director at Pfeiffer University. We think true basketball fans will love to see basketball at the DII level, they play on both ends of the court!
College basketball provides an excellent alternative to the NBA game with a shorter three-point line and longer shot clock to allow for more scoring and set plays. With tickets for Duke and Carolina being nearly impossible to get here in the heart of ACC country, this is great option for area basketball fans to see quality action on the court stated Sean Fox, Sports Information Director at Pfeiffer. We have a game atmosphere with music, sound effects, cheerleaders and a band thats already NBA quality that doesnt cost fans an arm and a leg to see, especially to only see quality action during the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.
In addition to the action on the court, Pfeiffer will host several themed-nights such as blackout night and Hawaiian night in a winter-filled January to go with the usual alumni, scholar-athlete and senior nights.
Pfeiffer is located in the village of Misenheimer, North Carolina about 45 minutes northeast of Time Warner Cable Arena, home of the Bobcats. The Falcons and Lady Falcons feature 21 home games this season with eight of those coming as doubleheaders inside Conference Carolinas play. The women will play the first home opener of the year on Tuesday, November 15th at 6:00 p.m. against Anderson while the men will open six days later at 7:30 p.m. against Virginia State.
All home games are played inside the Merner Gym in Misenheimer. Both schedules featuring all home games during 2011-2012 are featured below. Conference Carolinas tilts are marked with an asterisk. For more information, contact Sean Fox, Sports Information Director at 704-463-3192.

U.S. journalist jailed in Iran goes on hunger strike
A U.S. journalist who was arrested on charges of espionage in Iran is on her fifth day of a hunger strike, according to the Star Tribune.
Roxana Saberi, a dual American-Iranian citizen who will turn 32 on Sunday, was sentenced to eight years in prison after a swift one day closed trial.
"She said that she has started a hunger strike and this is the fifth day and that she will continue until she is free. I tried to tell her that this can be dangerous, but she didn't give me any time to protest," her father, Reza Saberi, told The Associated Press.
Iran's judiciary said they are investigating how the case was handled, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged prosecutors to make sure she receives a fair appeal.

The Dyfi Jacket - Simple Works
- Posted by alex
- 10 May 2013
Complicated isn't clever.
Complicated is just trickery... Smoke and mirrors to fool your eyes.
Bells and whistles to distract you.
Good design isn't about adding more.
Good design is about simplicity.
Every feature has a reason for being.
If it doesn't need to be there, take it off.
This is our new Dyfi Jacket. It's a lightweight, windproof active shell for cycling or running.
With recycled polyester ripstop body and breathable, four-way stretch arm panels.
Reflective accents on the cuffs and tail keep you visible when it gets dark and a fleece
lined collar keeps out draughts. It's adjustable at the waist and has a zipped chest pocket
that the jacket packs away into.
And it's £39.
Like we always say, simple works.

Saracens beat London Irish 28-19 on Saturday.
The result means the South African-laden club is currently in third position on the Premiership table, behind Harlequins and Leicester. There are two matches remaining in the competition.
Leicester scored a valuable 35-21 win over Northampton, while Harlequins tamed Wasps 33-17. Exeter beat Worcester 31-26 while a Gary Gold-coached Newcastle shocked Gloucester 29-20 away from home.
In the French Top 14, Frans Steyn played fullback in Racing Metro's 40-19 drubbing of Brive. Clermont shot to the top of the table with a 25-9 win over Stade Francais, Bayonne beat Biarritz 24-19, and Montpellier were too strong for Lyon in a 43-12 win for the hosts.
The surprise of the day came when Joe van Niekerk's Toulon went down 22-13 to Agen. Despite the loss, Toulon are third on the Top 14 log.

Comprehensive immigration reform is long overdue
That's when reality set in; on his wedding day, his parents won't be able to attend. Carlos is gay but also an immigrant. Recently, he received a legal reprieve from deportation under the Deferred Action for Children of Arrivals (DACA) but his father lives in the U.S. without legal status. Carlos lives in fear that than any day he could be detained and deported.
In 2008, Carlos' mother had to go back to Mexico because of a death in the family and was forced to live apart from her family for five years. On June 11, Carlos briefly reunited with her on the border between Arizona and Mexico; however, a fence still separated them.
Our nation is committed to American family values and family unity and that's why the fight for marriage equality was so strong. Yet, our broken immigration system continues to deny thousands of families like Carlos' the opportunity to be united.
The LGBTQ community is standing side-by-side with our immigrant rights allies to pass comprehensive reform because as a nation, we pride ourselves on keeping families united, and our immigration policies should reflect our commitment to keep families together -- all families. Too many LGBTQ immigrants are forced into two closets, one because of their sexual orientation and the other because of their immigration status. It's time for all immigrants, including at least 267,000 LGBTQ immigrants, to be able to come out of the shadows.
Comprehensive, compassionate immigration reform is an urgent priority for our nation. Every day, 11 million undocumented immigrants are forced to live as second-class members of society, and 1,100 families are torn apart. Here in Washington, this broken system is devastating our neighbors and friends.
The Senate recently passed -- by a wide 68-32 margin -- a bipartisan immigration reform bill that goes a long way in supporting these aspiring citizens. Now it's time for the House of Representatives to act. America deserves a vote on immigration reform with a road map to citizenship.
The Senate's bill includes many provisions that will particularly benefit LGBTQ immigrants, such as eliminating the one-year bar on applying for asylum; improving the conditions for people who are held in detention facilities; limiting the use of solitary confinement; and prohibiting the use of this practice based solely on a detainee's sexual orientation or gender identity. While the Senate's bill is not perfect and includes needlessly harsh border security provisions, it's the best chance in our generation to provide a road map to citizenship for these 11 million men, women and children.
Americans overwhelmingly support comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship. Poll after poll demonstrates that regardless of party affiliation, demographics, or geography, Americans want their elected officials to fix the country's broken immigration system.
The House GOP stands between 11 million immigrants and their chance at citizenship and the American Dream. We must hold our members of Congress accountable and tell the House that now is the time to act. No more posturing, no more piecemeal provisions, no more extremist amendments that aim to undermine all the progress that both parties have made.
We will continue our work to ensure the final legislation is in the best interest of all immigrants and the LGBTQ community. We stand together in our fight for comprehensive reform for immigrants like Carlos, who wants nothing more than for his parents to be able to celebrate with him on his wedding day.
For Carlos and the millions like him, we urge Congress to return from its recess break and reform our immigration system now.

CLAS Students
Majors and minors in the CLAS department consistently rank among the brightest who attend Gonzaga.
In our small program over the past ten years, many of our graduating majors have achieved summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude honors (see the Honor List below). While some of the department's majors continue on to seek advance degrees (MAs, PhDs) in Classics, archaeology and art history, other recent graduates have gone on to successful careers in law, business, and politics.
Students are drawn to the program for several reasons:
A commitment to teaching excellence.
The faculty of the Classical Civilizations program remains committed to accommodating the educational needs of its undergraduates both in and outside of the classroom environment. Graduating students have ranked this dedication and passion for teaching as among their most important reasons for joining the program.
Small classes and high attention to individual students.
The low faculty-student ratio has created a program with a sense of community in our classrooms, in which the instructors come to know the students and their interests with more than a passing familiarity, and vice versa. This environment allows us not only to tailor an undergraduate's studies to suit his or her needs and interests, but also permits us to monitor her or his progress closely and provide appropriate academic support.
Strong library collection and academic resources.
One remarkable asset of the program is the outstanding caliber of the library's collection in the Classical fields and the continuing support given to it through generous endowments. The collection is considered the best in eastern Washington and one of the finest in the region. Our reference collection includes some of the most important resources in the discipline, including L'Annee Philologique, Paulys Real-encyclopadie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, Der Kleine Pauly, Brill's New Pauly, Lexicon iconographicum mythologie classicae, and Lexicon topographicum urbis Romae. We also possess access to English-language and foreign journals in the library holdings or online (e.g. JSTOR, Proquest). Other areas in which we excel include patristics and early Christianity, with numerous reference tools and journals in those fields as well. Finally, we have significant collections of primary texts in Latin and Greek, with substantial editions of Loeb Classical Library, Oxford Classical Texts and Teubner volumes, among others.
