Jacksonville coach Beau Williams was the defensive coordinator at New Bern High back in 2004, and his quarterback, Exelman Adams, was in Okinawa.
And Northside coach Bob Eason?
Well, he was where he always has been on Friday nights since Northside opened and began playing football in 2001 – on the sidelines usually overseeing another win by the Monarchs.
But on Sept. 3, 2004, Eason experienced something he's only faced once at Northside – a loss to city rival Jacksonville. The Cardinals beat the Monarchs 14-0 that night in the second meeting between the teams – they didn't play in Northside's first two seasons.
"It was close," Eason recalled. "It came down to a few mistakes."
The same could likely be the case tonight when resurgent Jacksonville (2-0) travels to Northside (1-1) for a 7:30 p.m. showdown.
Northside leads the series 9-1, including five wins by shutouts. Moreover, the Monarchs haven't allowed the Cardinals to score since Jejwaune Murrell's 1-yard run touchdown run in the third quarter of Northside's 37-14 win in 2009.
That translates into 13 straight scoreless quarters for JHS against Northside.
Like most coaches, Eason believes in the law of averages, saying that eventually means Jacksonville will beat Northside again.
"But we're working hard and the kids aren't planning on it happening this year," Eason said.
Junior defensive end Korey Curry seconded that during a break at practice after him and his twin brother, Kris, went after it in a drill. Asked where he was in 2004, Korey Curry paused and was informed it was the only time JHS had beaten Northside.
"And it's going to be the last time, too," he responded. "Our pride is still there. We're coming in knowing they only beat us once. I don't care how many points we win by, I just want to win."
Ditto for the Cardinals, who have won 10 of their last 15 games dating back to last year – including a season-opening 13-12 win at reigning state 1-AA champion Southwest and a 46-0 victory over 1-A Jones Senior in their home opener last week.
Williams, who is in his fourth year at JHS, wasn't aware of how long it's been since the Cardinals had beaten the Monarchs.
"I just know we haven't beaten them in the three years," he said, adding he enjoys playing inner-city rivalry games like this. "It's a good rivalry, but it's not been a good rivalry lately. So we're going to try to go out Friday night and change that."
Coming into the season there were high expectations for the Cardinals, who were 8-5 a year ago. And those expectations remain even though their starting quarterback, speedy Vincent Siders, hasn't played since injuring his knee in a preseason scrimmage.
Williams said he's awaiting an MRI to determine when, or if, Siders will return.
Adams , a junior who was the JV starter last year, has filled in admirably for Siders in the Cardinals' spread attack. He's completed 12 of 26 passes for 133 yards while rushing for 93 yards and three scores on 21 carries.
"I've done everything the coaches have told me to do and it's been working out so far," Adams said. "I just got to get better every day. I wasn't nervous (in the opener), but there was some emotion going through me.
"But I knew I could do it. The offense really picked me up. The defense picked me up. Now it's time for me to help them."
Williams has liked what he's seen so far from the 5-foot-8, 140-pound X-man.
"He throws the ball fairly well. He's kind of got a learning curve from JV to varsity. He runs fairly decent," Williams said. "But it's like an I-team losing their tailback. They (the rest of the team) have kind of rallied around him.
"It's not who, it's how. So they said, 'He's got to go.' So they're all in."
The game could turn out to be a defensive battle, however, given both teams are known for their defenses. Jacksonville's secondary has picked off five passes in the first two games but will face one of the top wide receivers in the area in senior Josh Cabrera, who has committed to UNC.
But Cabrera has just one reception for 20 yards and one rush for 2 yards in the first two games, which begs the question: Has he been as involved in the offense as Eason would like?
"Of course not," the coach replied. "Everybody's trying to shut him down. Somebody else has to step up and pick up the slack. But eventually I think you're going to see where they're not going to be able to key on one guy and we'll be able to open some things up."
As always, limiting turnovers and big plays were cited by both coaches and players as among the keys to victory. But Eason had a more simple formula for his team, which has scored just 18 points in two games while allowing 33.
"We've just got to play better," he said. "We've just got to do the old Vince Lombardi stuff, the blocking and the tackling better."
Eason's counterpart at Jacksonville pointed to the basics as well.
"Against an Eason group, you've got to stop the run. They're going to try to pound it on you. We've got to be gap sound and tackle well and get off blocks," Williams said. "We'll be prepared. We'll play to the best of our ability and come out and try to get a win."

Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas
In Strange Justice The Selling of Clarence Thomas (1994), veteran Wall Street Journal investigative reporters Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson reveal that there was much to doubt about the character of Clarence Thomas and the veracity of his denials of Anita Hill's accusations. They also tell the full story of one of the most troubling episodes of our time: how the White House sold the Supreme Court justice nominee to the Congress, the media, and the American people.
Strange Justice documents the events of 1991 as the country's most private institution, its highest court of law, is set up for display and debate on national television. Abramson and Mayer have taken great pains to represent both sides of the issue. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and scores of previously unseen documents, Mayer and Abramson demonstrate that the political machinations that assured Thomas's ascension to the court went far beyond what emerged during the hearings. The authors also describe the results of their exhaustive investigation into Hill's allegations: the way they came to light, the Judiciary Committee's handling of them, and the allegations of others who were willing but not permitted to testify.
Jill Abramson visits the Athenaeum to explore aspects of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. As the Wall Street Journal's deputy bureau chief in Washington, D.C., Abramson supervises 40 reporters and editors and helps to direct the newspaper's coverage of an array of foreign policy and domestic issues. She joined the newspaper in 1988 as a reporter covering legal issues and, in 1990, moved to the Journal's political team as an investigative reporter covering money and politics. Two years later Abramson won the National Press Club's top prize for political reporting, the National Correspondence Award, for a series of articles about the role of money and prominent lobbyists in the Bush and Clinton campaigns.
Winemaking in California
The adobe archway, reminiscent of old Mexican missions, welcomes visitors to the Robert Mondavi Winery. The winery was founded by Robert Mondavi and his older son Michael in 1966. They were later joined by Robert Mondavi's second son, Timothy, and his daughter, Marcia, in the operations of the vineyard. It is the family's desire to build a facility dedicated to creating world-class wines. By implementing the newest technologies and maintaining the best that tradition has to offer, the Robert Mondavi Winery has subsequently won international acclaim. At the same time, the winery serves as an ambassador for California wines and the art of winemaking itself.
In the past thirty years the winery has expanded to include the production of California varietals under the label Woodbridge. The creation of Opus One in 1979 marked an unprecedented partnership with the renowned Baron Philippe de Rothschild joining the expertise of Bourdeaux and California winemaking. Since 1993, the winery has been publicly traded on NASDAQ.
Michael Mondavi is president of the Robert Mondavi Winery. An active community member, Mondavi serves with many organizations involved in the wine industry and devotes his time to the Queen of the Valley Hospital and Napa Valley Symphony Association. For services in the health and social aspects of wine, Mondavi received an American Heart Association award in 1993.
A special meal is being prepared using recipes from California Wine Country Cooking (1991). Reservations for the dinner are open to students, faculty, and staff from CMC only. The talk, which begins at 6:45 p.m., is open to all with no reservations required.
Making a Mark: The Psychology of Greatness
What do Madonna, Confucius, and Jackie Robinson have in common? What does it take to go down in history as a great political leader? Why do revolutions occur, riots break out, and lynch mobs assemble?
Dean Keith Simonton's book, Greatness: Who Makes History and Why (1994), offers a comprehensive examination of the important personalities and events that have influenced the course of history. It discusses whether people who go down in history are different from the rest of us; whether specific personality traits predispose certain people to become world leaders, movie stars, scientific geniuses, or athletes, while others are relegated to ordinary lives. Greatness embeds psychological topics in the larger contexts of science, art, politics, and history to essentially define a new interdisciplinary field of study: the psychology of history.
Simonton graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude from Occidental College. After receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard, he joined the psychology faculty at UC Davis. He has published over 100 journal articles on psychology and leadership, as well as five books and 20 book chapters. In 1994 his professional dedication and accomplishments earned him the prestigious UC Davis Prize for Teaching and Scholarly Achievement.
Simonton visits the Athenaeum thanks to the sponsorship of the Kravis Leadership Institute and the department of psychology.
40,000 Year Plague: A Natural History of Human-Induced Extinction
ROSS MacPHEE
Ross MacPhee has spent much of the last ten years studying global patterns of animal extinction. He uses the extinction histories of islands as test cases to forecast and explain the forces leading to global extinctions. As part of this work MacPhee has collaborated since 1990 with scientists from the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural in Havana, Cuba, on numerous projects that have provided new clues to the origin and extinction of much of the vertebrate biota of the West Indies. MacPhee specializes in studying the role that humans have played in inducing extinctions during the last 40,000 years and is considered an expert on this complex issue. MacPhee received his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta. Before he joined the American Museum of Natural History in 1988, he was associate professor in the department of anatomy at Duke. He was appointed chairman of the museum's department of mammalogy in 1994, and is an adjunct professor at both SUNY Stony Brook and the CUNY Graduate School.
This lecture is sponsored by the Robert's Environmental Center.
Seeing War Through Women's Eyes
It is a time of war. At the front lines in Bosnia and Afghanistan film is rolling, featuring a vital yet frequently overlooked aspect of battle: that is, the female component. In 1994 Shelley Saywell released No Man's Land: Women Frontline Journalists, a documentary film that follows women journalists, their perspectives, and their war experiences. The documentary won a 1994 Golden Sheaf Award and will open this year's Rocky Mountain Women's Festival.
A native of Toronto, Saywell first became interested in women at war while she worked on the internationally acclaimed 13-hour series "Vietnam: The Ten-Thousand-Day War (1980)." A book soon followed titled Women in War: First-Hand Accounts from World War II to El Salvador (1985). Two years after the release of her book in 1985, Saywell teamed up with a close friend and cinematographer, Deborah Parks, to produce and direct her first independent documentary film, Shaira (1987). They subsequently formed Bishari Film productions. Saywell has produced and field-directed over 50 hours of Canadian independent-documentary productions. She has been a contributing author on a number of books, including Ourselves Among Others (1989) and Women in the Military (1982).
Saywell will introduce her documentary film No Man's Land and lead discussion after the viewing.
Political and Economic Reforms in Mexico
An intriguing political system presides over much of national life in Mexico. It has helped to create both triumphs and difficulties (some would say disasters), the effects of which reach deeply into the lives of most Mexicans. As a political adviser to President Ernesto Zedillo, Federico Estevez is well acquainted with the workings of that political system. He works with Zedillo's advisory staff during a time when struggles have arisen inside the dominant political party (PRI) over whether policies for the selection of candidates, the administration of elections, and the use of presidential power will be drastically changed. These struggles are related in important ways to the far-reaching economic reforms of the last six years which, in turn, are related to the emergence of NAFTA in which Mexico is a partner with the United States and Canada. Many believe that the ongoing rebellion in southern Mexico, the free-fall of the peso, and large street demonstrations are part of the fallout from the ways in which the political system has handled deep economic reforms.
Federico Estevez is a political scientist trained at Stanford and UCLA. Since 1983, he has been professor of social sciences at ITAM, the Instituto Technologico Autonomo de Mexico in Mexico City. Before that he taught at the University of the Americas in Puebla and held advisory positions in the ministries of finance and of programming and budget. His principal research affiliation has been with the Center for Economic Analysis and Research in Mexico City, and he publishes regularly on Mexican politics and other domestic issues in the Center's Monthly Report on the Mexican Economy and in other Mexican journals. He recently completed a year as visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., where he worked on issues related to the politics of NAFTA.
This visit to the Athenaeum by Professor Estevez is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics
The Economic Aspects of Democratization in Europe
Jeffrey Sachs is described by The New York Times as "probably the most important economist in the world." By 1989, the year the Soviet bloc disintegrated, he was already helping Poland devise a plan for economic "shock therapy." Two years later, this unabashed purveyor of free-market capitalism was invited to lead a team into Russia to resuscitate an ailing economy. With former communist hardliners creeping back to power, Sachs recently resigned his position as adviser to President Boris Yeltsin.
Governments in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet states, and Asia have employed Sachs's economic expertise, as have the IMF, the World Bank, the OECD, and the United Nations Development Program. In Time magazine's recent feature of 50 promising young leaders he was hailed as "the world's best-known economist," and for good reason. Sachs's role in the formation of the new world order is indisputable.
Sachs received his B.A. summa cum laude from Harvard, later earning an M.A. and Ph.D. He joined the Harvard faculty in 1982 and is the Galen L. Stone Professor of International Trade. His published works, including Economics of Worldwide Stagflation (1985), Peru 's Path to Recovery: A Plan for Economic Stabilization and Growth (1991), The Transition in Eastern Europe (1994), and Poland's Jump to the Market Economy (1994) solidify his position as the best-known economist at work today. His visit to the Athenaeum represents the first annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics sponsored by Donald McKenna and the Philip McKenna Foundation.
A Poet Reads from His Work
-When I die, I will see the lining of the world.
The other side, beyond bird, mountain, sunset.
The true meaning, ready to be decoded.
What never added up will add up,
What was incomprehensible will be comprehended.
-And if there is no lining to the world?
If a thrush on a branch is not a sign,
But just a thrush on the branch? If night and day
Make no sense following each other?
And on this earth there is nothing except this earth?
-Even if that is so, there will remain
A word wakened by lips that perish,
A tireless messenger who runs and runs
Through interstellar fields, through the revolving galaxies,
And calls out, protests, screams.
-Translated by the author and Robert Hass from Provinces, Ecco Press, 1991.
In 1978 Joseph Brodsky wrote: "I have no hesitation whatsoever in stating that Czeslaw Milosz is one of the greatest poets of our time, perhaps the greatest." Seventeen years later Brodsky's view has changed only in that he no longer says "perhaps." For Brodsky, his fellow Nobel Laureate "is absolutely unequaled by any writer in our civilization in the past half-century, a poet in whom the lyrical and the revelatory seamlessly combine-the rarest of occurrences in our line of work."
Milosz was born in 1911 in Szetejnie, Lithuania. His childhood world was broken by World War I when his father Alexander, a road engineer, was recruited by the Czar's army. Milosz and his mother accompanied his father on dangerous bridge-building expeditions near Russian battle zones. The family returned to Lithuania in 1918. Milosz had a rigorous formal education in Wilno, the capital of Polish Lithuania. In his early twenties he published his first volume of poems, A Poem on Frozen Time (1933).
The Soviet regime in Wilno eventually forced Milosz to flee the city of his youth to Nazi-occupied Warsaw, where he joined the resistance. Milosz's anthology of anti-Nazi poetry, The Invincible Song (1942), was published by underground presses in Warsaw, where he also wrote "The World (A Naive Poem) (1943)" and the cycle Voices of Poor People (1943).
The end of the war brought more dislocation. Milosz worked as a cultural attache of the Polish communist government, serving in both New York and Washington over a period of years. He broke with the Polish government in 1951 and sought political asylum in France, even though it meant virtual disconnection from Polish readers. His ten years in France found him at odds with the strongly pro-socialist and communist intellectual community. He wrote two novels during this period, Seizure of Power (1952) and The Issa Valley (1955), as well as his most famous book, The Captive Mind (1953), a study of the dangerous appeal of totalitarian thought, along with portraits of friends who had been seduced by it. Banned in Poland, Milosz's poetry was published in Paris by the Instytut Literacki.
Milosz moved yet further west when, in 1961, at age fifty, he became a professor of Slavic languages and literature at the University of California at Berkeley. Though an unknown member of a small department, he eventually became popular for his courses on Dostoyevsky and, to those outside the university, as a translator of the poems of Zbigniew Herbert. Milosz's Selected Poems (1968) were not published in English until 1973. In 1978 his collection Bells in Winter appeared, and Milosz was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. In 1981 he visited Poland for the first time in thirty years and in 1992 saw his native Lithuania again after a fifty-two year absence.
Since winning the Nobel Prize, Milosz has published many volumes of prose and poetry. His prose collections include Visions from San Francisco Bay (1969), Beginning with My Streets (1973), The Land of Ulro (1977), and his Charles Eliot Norton lectures, The Witness of Poetry (1983). His Collected Poems, 1931-1987 appeared in 1988 and included portions of Unattainable Earth (1984). It was followed most recently by another collection, Provinces (1991). A diary of the year 1988, A Year of the Hunter, was published in 1994 and another volume of poetry, Facing the River (1995), has just appeared.
After the Wall: Germany, the Germans, and the Burdens of History
From a reporter's view of Germany after reunification, Marc Fisher focuses on the country's struggle with its history during a century of trauma and aggression. Fisher, staff writer in the style section of The Washington Post, is author of After the Wall: Germany, the Germans, and the Burdens of History (1995). This exploration of the new and lingering walls within German society stems from Fisher's four years as the Bonn and Berlin bureau chief of The Post, beginning with the dramatic events of autumn 1989.
Fisher has worked at The Post since 1987, when he covered D.C. city news. Previously, he was a staff writer at the Miami Herald, where he contributed reports in the local news and Sunday magazine sections. A former journalist in residence at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies at Johns Hopkins University, Mr. Fisher also holds an honors degree in history from Princeton University.
Numerous journalism awards, including the 1993 Overseas Press Club award for best interpretation of foreign news and the Society of Professional Journalists award for best magazine writing, pay tribute to his mastery of foreign news coverage.
Stotsenberg Chamber Music Series
The Music of Henry Purcell and His Time
MICHAEL EAGAN, lute
CAROL HERMAN, viola
JEFFREY THOMAS, tenor
Nineteen ninety-five is "the Purcell year," commemorating the tercentenary of the death of England's musical genius Henry Purcell (1659-1695). During 20 active years Purcell composed five dramatic operas; music for more than 40 plays; over 20 odes and welcome songs for the courts; sacred songs; anthems and services; more than 100 solo songs; and assorted other vocal and instrumental music-all of the highest caliber.
Purcell grew up in the shadow of London's Westminster Abbey. Among his distinguished literary and musical neighbors were Dryden, Milton, Wren, and Pepys. His London also knew plague-Purcell was five when his father died and a few years later London was devastated by the Great Fire of 1666. With good connections, young Henry became a boy chorister at the Abbey. When his teacher-organist John Blow-resigned, Purcell became Abbey organist at the age of 17.
Nepotism and good luck worked hand-in-hand with talent as Purcell moved from steady job to steady job, even through successive and radically opposed monarchies. With a Catholic wife and court positions under Catholic sympathizer Charles II and confessed Catholic James II, he still kept his post at the Protestant Abbey. At the end of his life he held a post in the court of Protestants William III and Mary.
Music tumbled from Purcell-sacred or secular, political parody or personal tribute, elegant or bawdy-produced with style and flair, harmonic brilliance, and stunning inventiveness.
Cited as "a superstar among oratorio tenors" by the Wall Street Journal, Jeffrey Thomas's distinguished career includes performances as soloist or conductor throughout the United States, and in Austria, England, Mexico, Italy, Japan, and Germany. Thomas is the Artistic and Music Director of the American Bach Soloists, with whom he has recorded more than 25 cantatas, and several other major early music works. Currently Acting Music Director of the Dallas Bach Society and Director of the American Classical Soloists, he is also an instructor at UC Berkeley.
Director of the Musica Angelica Early Music Series, Michael Eagan has performed extensively throughout the United States and Europe. He performs and records with the American Bach Soloists and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and regularly appears with opera companies and chamber groups. Eagan composes for TV, stage, and film and was a recent recipient of the Henry Mancini Award for the Composition of Music for Motion Pictures and TV Films. The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet has recently recorded his first work for their ensemble.
A Claremont resident, Carol Herman teaches and performs in the Los Angeles area and on the West Coast on Baroque cello and viola da gamba. She has taught for USC, UCR, and CSLA, is a regular faculty member of early music workshops, and directs a yearly summer workshop for viols. She has performed and taught across the U.S., and in Canada, Mexico, England, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. She has written two volumes of contemporary settings of Emily Dickinson poems, two method books for viols, and a booklet of humorous poems "of a musical nature."
This will be the final concert of the Stotsenberg Chamber Music Series.

Beautiful Invitations
This product was perfect for our wedding. I ordered save the dates, invitations and thank you cards from magnet street and have been extremely happy with the ease of personalization, the quality of the product and the quick turn around time. I would highly recommend this company for any of your upcoming paper needs!! They also were very accomodating, I needed to add an additional 25 invitations to my order as I made a mistake origionally and because it was the next day and they had not started my origional order they refunded a huge portion of my money as it was cheaper to add it to the origional number and this is something they did not have to do!

Cyclothymia symptoms alternate between emotional highs and lows. The highs of cyclothymia are characterized by symptoms of an elevated mood (hypomanic symptoms), which resemble those of mania but are less severe. The lows consist of mild or moderate depressive symptoms.
Cyclothymia symptoms are similar to those of bipolar disorder I or II, but they're less severe. When you have cyclothymia, you can typically function in your daily life, though not always well. The unpredictable nature of your mood shifts may significantly disrupt your life because you never know how you're going to feel.
The highs (hypomania) of cyclothymia meet the same diagnostic definition of hypomania for type II bipolar disorder. Signs and symptoms may include:
Depressive episodes of cyclothymia may include a combination of these signs and symptoms:
For the first two years after symptoms begin, the highs and lows of cyclothymia are less extreme. After that time, your highs and lows may become more pronounced. You may have depressive episodes that meet the criteria for full-blown major depressive episodes. Or you could experience full manic episodes.
If you have any symptoms of cyclothymia, seek medical help as soon as possible. Cyclothymia generally doesn't get better on its own. If you're reluctant to seek treatment, work up the courage to confide in someone who can help you take the first steps.
If a loved one has symptoms of cyclothymia, talk openly and honestly with that person about your concerns. You can't force someone to seek professional help, but you can offer support and help find a qualified doctor or mental health provider.
Although suicidal thoughts might occur with cyclothymia, they're more likely to occur if you have bipolar disorder I or II. If you're considering suicide right now:
If you just can't make that call, reach out to someone else — immediately — such as your doctor, mental health provider, family member, friend or someone in your faith community.

Literacy & Skills Training
Tangier American Legation Museum (TALIM): Women's Program
Since 1999, the Tangier American Legation Museum (TALIM) has conducted a popular program for neighborhood women consisting of Arabic literacy instruction, sewing/handicraft classes for profit, foreign language classes taught by volunteers, and a lecture series on health, civic responsibilities, and culture. Our programs are reaching women and young people in the old city where conditions are crowded recreation space is absent, and where it is easy for alienation and radicalization to set in. In the past attention to the medina has been minimal with little enhancement of popular participation and personal opportunity. TALIM has been effective in creating a Women's Center at the American Legation in proximity to their homes.
|TALIM's Fatima Benguerch with CLS students and women's literacy group
|CLS students learn Moroccan cuisine from women's literacy participants
|CLS students and women's literacy group
A survey in 1994 showed 47% illiteracy and 35% unemployment among women over 10 years of age in the medina. Our program of language and sewing instruction enables the women to function more effectively in daily life and to be better informed participants in their community. Women need basic usable skills to enter the marketplace; the larges demand in the region is in the textile and clothing industry, often benefiting from offshore status in the Tangier Free Zone. Women need an array of basic training in such skills as the use of the sewing machine as well as in literacy and numeric. The current program reaches more than 100 women and each year we have new participants so that over the years we have assisted hundreds of women in the medina.
Sewing Classes
The Women's Program is supervised by Mrs. Yhtimad Bouziane, the museum librarian. As a native of tangier, Ms Bouziane speaks the Arabic dialect of Tangier and is able to establish immediate rapport with the medina women. While a graduate student in France for seven years, she organized community activities for the Moroccan community there and she is the driving force behind the current program. TALIM Director, Thor Kuniholm, a former Foreign Service Officer, with 17 years experience working in the old medina of Tangier, assists with the management of the program. He is responsible for raising and disbursing funds for this project.
The benefits of the Women's Program are substantial because the program is centered at the Tangier American Legation Museum (TALIM), a site associated with the American presence in Morocco going back to 1821. Every day of the week, and often on the weekend, neighborhood women are meeting here in a convivial atmosphere learning skills that will help them live a more fulfilling life and often entailing economic benefits.
Visitors to TALIM from around the world are invariably impressed by this community program. TALIM cooperates with a number of local associations–Rotary Club, Micro-credit Foundation of the North, and the Tangier Medina Foundation—who have contributed to the activities.. Most importantly the women themselves—perhaps for the first time in their lives—develop a sense of individual worth and dignity, by receiving attention and encouragement.
The Medina of Tangier is the cultural and historic heart of the city of Tangier. Its renewal is an important step in the economic revitalization of the city. We believe that our program demonstrates to the local government and community leaders the importance of capacity building efforts among the women of the neighborhood as an essential step in renewing the economic life of the Medina. (A grant of $4,000 will finance language and crafts instruction for one year)
Seminars are organized for the benefit of medina residents by specialists and professionals in the field of health, environment, culture, etc.
Director of the literacy and professional training courses and youth workshops: Yhtimad Bouziane
TALIM Director's Blog - TALIMblog.org
TALIM director John Davison regularly posts articles on TALIM events, cultural updates, and Legation history. It's an informal way of keeping up with the activities of the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies. Add it to your favorites!

When Jon Gosselin tried to call things off with babysitter Stephanie Santoro, he didn't resort to the usual, "It's not you, it's me" line.
Instead, Jon took a more aggressive approach — he told her to stop contacting him or he would sue her.
And Jon didn't stop there – he also threatened to sue her father!
That's the latest bombshell from Stephanie's mother, Marci Santoro, who told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive video interview that Jon grew hostile and aggressive at the end of the relationship.
RadarOnline.com broke the exclusive story that Stephanie, the babysitter for Jon and Kate's eight kids, was romantically involved with Jon. Stephanie has now come out and confirmed our exclusive report.
Click here to see photographs of Jon and Stephanie's first sleepover
"Right now if she tries to make contact with him, his big thing is, 'I'm going to sue you,'" Marci told RadarOnline.com in the new video interview. "He told her, 'We can't talk anymore. Don't call me, don't text me. I cant see you anymore.'"
"She was definitely getting upset. Her dad said, 'Stephanie, just hang up, dont even talk to him.' Jon's response to Stephanie was, 'Tell your dad to shut his f—ing mouth or I'm going to sue him.'"
Click here to read more about how Jon asked Stephanie to lie about their relationship to Hailey Glassman
Marci says Stephanie is still trying to get a copy of the non-disclosure agreement that Gosselin made her sign after hiring her as his children's babysitter. To this day, Jon hasn't delivered, and when she tries to ask him about it, he lashes out, threatening to sue. According to Marci, Stephanie never was shown the agreement and was only given a signature page, which she signed.
Click here to see photos of Jon giving the family dogs away
One of the things Jon may have wanted her to stay mum about: former Star reporter Kate Major, who Marci claims was still sending Jon text messages while he was with Stephanie. Marci says she tried to stay out of her daughter's drama, but after Gosselin went public with his love and devotion to Hailey Glassman, she became concerned about her daughter's well being.

Marci told RadarOnline.com: "She [Stephanie] told me that Jon would show her Kate's text messages and that they said things like 'you made all these promises to me, you told me you wanted to spend your life with me.'"
"I thought, 'Here is another woman saying the same things my own daughter is telling me,'" Marci said. "Then I read in the magazines that he's telling people he's in love with Hailey all at the same time. I became very concerned that Stephanie was going to get hurt."

Groovy uses a similar syntax to Java although in Groovy semicolons are optional.
This saves a little typing but also makes code look much cleaner (surprisingly so for such a minor change). So normally if one statement is on each line you can ommit semicolons altogether - though its no problem to use them if you want to. If you want to put multiple statements on a line use a semicolon to separate the statements.
If the end of the line is reached and the current statement is not yet complete it can be spanned across multiple lines. So for things like method parameters or creating lists or for complex if expressions you can span multiple lines.
Method calls
Method calling syntax is similar to Java where methods can be called on an object (using dot) or a method on the current class can be called. Static and instance methods are supported.
Notice that the return statement is optional at the end of methods. Also you don't need to specify a return type (it will default to Object in the bytecode if none is specified).
Optional parenthesis
Method calls in Groovy can ommit the parenthesis if there is at least one parameter and there is no ambiguity.
Named parameter passing
When calling a method you can pass in named parameters. Parameter names and values are separated by a colon (like the Map syntax) though the parameter names are identifiers rather than Strings.
Currently this kind of method passing is only implemented for calling methods which take a Map or for constructing JavaBeans.
Please refer to
Passing closures into methods
Closures are described in more detail
Though there is some syntax sugar to make calling methods which take a closure easier. Instead of specifying parenthesis, you can just specify a closure. e.g.
The above code is equivalent to the previous code, just a little more groovy. If a method takes parameters you can leave the closure outside of the parenthesis (provided that the closure parameter is the last parameter on the underlying method).
The above code is equivalent to the following (but just neater)
Important Note
Note that when using the neater syntax for specifying closures either without parenthesis or by specifying the closure after the parenthesis, the closure must start on the same line. i.e. the { symbol must be on the same line as the method call statement. Otherwise the parser
interprets the { as a start of a block.
Dynamic method dispatch
If a variable is not constrained by a type then dynamic method dispatch is used. This is often referred to as dynamic typing whereas Java uses static typing by default.
You can mix and match both dynamic and static typing in your code by just adding or removing types. e.g.
These are described in more detail in the
To access properties you use dot with the property name. e.g.
The above uses a special bean called Expando which allows properties to be added dyanmically at runtime.
An Expando is a Map which behaves as a dynamic bean: adding new key/value pairs add the equivalent getter and setter methods, as if they were defined in a real bean.
Safe navigation
If you are walking a complex object graph and don't want to have NullPointerExceptions thrown you can use the ?. operator rather than . to perform your navigation.

Ski or snowshoe to cozy hut near Mount Rainier
Photo courtesy Gene Glasunow
High Hut, one of the cabins in the Mount Tahoma trail and hut system, provides overnight places to stay for skiers, snowshoers and snowboarders.

Skiers can use the huts during the day but permits are needed to spend the night.

Snowshoers leave Snow Bowl Hut after a weekend of fun.

Snowshoes and poles are lined up outside Snow Bowl hut.
A series of snow huts south of Mount Rainier near Ashford offer just such a place. The huts, which are maintained and managed by Mount Tahoma Trail Association volunteers and others, are an affordable way to stay in the backcountry in winter. The huts are also open during the day to anyone.
The Mount Tahoma trail and hut system has about 50 miles of trail, 20 of it groomed, three huts and a yurt. There are four different places to stay.
Copper Hut
The trail system is divided by the Nisqually River, and this hut is the only one to the north of the river. It's four miles from the snowpark on a groomed and patrolled trail. Using the trail is free. This hut is the most popular and easily accessible. Families with small children often use this hut. Sleeps 14.
High Hut
This, and the other two sites, are south of the Nisqually River. It's located on a high ridge with 360 degree views. To the north, you see Mount Rainier and to the south you look into the crater of Mount St. Helens. You can also see the Olympics and a glimpse of Mount Adams on a clear day.
"The sunsets are just world-class views from here," said Gene Glasunow, a volunteer ski patroller with the trail association since 1998. It's a 4-mile ski from the snow park. It's a good climb, with about 1,700 feet of elevation gain. Sleeps 8.
Snow Bowl
This is the newest hut, it was constructed just two years ago. This hut is also on a ridge. To one side there's a line of trees and to the other the view opens out to a valley. Glasunow says the stargazing is especially good at Snow Bowl. It also offers a stellar view of Mount Rainier. It's about a four mile ski from the snow park. Sleeps 14.
The Yurt
The Yurt is a two-story structure. There's a basement area and the main floor of the yurt is raised to stay above the snow. The snow slides off the sloped roof and is pushed away to keep the structure accessible. It sits in a bowl at the base of Griffin Mountain. While it doesn't offer expansive views, it is in a beautiful area and is the most remote of all of the structures. It's about 2 1/2 miles beyond Snow Bowl. Sleeps six.
How to stay
The huts and trails are open to anyone during the day (you'll need a Sno Park permit to park). After 7 p.m., you'll need a permit for the huts. Most weekend spots fill up far in advance, but there are plenty of spots during the week.
To get a permit, go to www.skimtta.com. Permits are $15 per person, per night. You can also call Whittaker Mountaineering in Ashford, 800-238-5756, to check availability. The MTTA trail office is staffed by volunteers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays; call 360-569-2451.
The association is on Facebook, www.facebook.com/groups/MountTahomaTrails, and Twitter, https://twitter.com/skimtta. They post information on trail conditions and weekend openings.
Amenities: Each site has heat, an outhouse, a complete kitchen, including utensils, a table and chairs; lighting, pots to melt snow and a filter to treat the water. All you need is a sleeping bag, clothes, food and any emergency gear you want for the trip to and from the hut.

A story in Tuesday's paper surprised me.
In an article about how busy florists are the week of Valentine's Day, reporter Steve Huffman wrote that the National Retail Federation says Americans will spend a total of $18.6 billion on Valentine's Day. The average person will spend $130.97 on candy, flowers and other stuff. That's an average. So that means someone is spending several hundred dollars to balance out the small amount my wife and I will spend.
At the Lancaster household, we'll invest enough to buy Valentines for our kids and for their classmates and dinner for the two of us. I haven't heard yet whether we are going to give each other cards, which have really gotten expensive, if you haven't noticed.
We don't exchange gifts for Valentine's, Christmas or our birthdays. Never really have. If we need something, we buy it.
I know people who buy each other expensive gifts at the holidays. They like to surprise their loved one, and their loved one sees love in a thoughtful gift. That works fine for some folks. Our way works fine for us.
Part of this is just simple economics. When one parent stays home with the children, you have to cut costs. But even we were both working, we didn't make a big deal out of such things.
My wife and I have been together since the end of 1994 and married since fall 1998. We've always kept it low key.
Around the time she was set to graduate from N.C. State, I bought an engagement ring. After graduation, we had plans to go to Disneyworld with some of her friends. I was going to give her the ring on the "It's a Small World" ride.
Then I got to thinking about how my luck usually runs. I could definitely see me fumbling the ring when we got on one of the boats and losing the ring in the water. Or I might lose it on the way to Florida, or just taking it home after I bought it.
As soon as I picked up her ring, I went to her apartment and gave it to her. I just didn't want to hold on to the thing, like a midlevel drug dealer with a big package.
We both knew we were going to get married. I didn't see any need to propose on the field during a football game or hike her three miles up to a breathtaking cliff. She knew what was coming. We had already begun planning our lives together.
So we were sitting on the couch that morning. I got on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes. She called her mother.
Then we went to eat lunch at Wendy's and I went to work.
As I get older, I've seen some marriages fail. Some of our friends have divorced and remarried. Some have divorced again.
I always hesitate to give marriage advice because you never know what will happen. I am pretty difficult to live with, after all. But I'm proud of putting together 14 years and I expect we've got a pretty good run left.
We try to listen to each other. I know we could do better.
We don't stay mad. Every time we've argued with each other, we've apologized within a few minutes.
As I mentioned before, we keep it low key. Some couples thrive on drama. We don't.
We put our family before everything else in our lives.
So maybe we're boring. And I know some couples might be astounded that we don't give each other gifts, but there are several ways to get to a happy marriage.
And I think we have one.

You mean sort of like "If you don't believe the fairytale I'm telling you, you will burn for all eternity in Hell." . . . ?? That variety of misrepresentation? You have to admit, it tends to portray the King of the Universe as something of an insecure blowhard, Garrett. It only reveals the weakness of his position that his children must either 'choose' to love him or accept unbearable torture as a consequence of failing to do so.
Sam only suggests that's a load of unproven hogwash, and we can do better than buying into such hokum, treating such ancient superstitions as if they were sacred.

Comments about Fox Apparel Fox Attack Glove 2013:
These gloves have to be designed for someone with narrow hands, as I have to wrestle with them a bit to get them on. Once on they fit the hand well and provide a nice transition between hand and bar grip. Not too thick or thin.

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter a deep, round 20cm cake tin and line the base with a circle of non-stick baking parchment.
- Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy, then add the caster sugar and lemon zest and beat again. Gradually add the eggs to the mixture, beating well with each addition, until fully combined. The mixture will begin to look glossy – if at any stage the mixture curdles, beat in a spoonful of ground almonds and continue to add the egg until it is all amalgamated.
- Stir in the ground almonds, then the flour, and fold everything carefully together using a large spoon. Fold through half the rhubarb, then transfer the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter with the remaining rhubarb. Finish with the demerara sugar sprinkled on top. Bake the cake for 45 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly in the tin, then remove from the tin. When the cake is cold, make the topping.
- Whip the cream in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks. In a small bowl, loosen the lemon curd with about 1 tbsp water and carefully fold it through the cream, without overworking. Spread over the cake, drizzle with a little more lemon curd and serve immediately.

Comments, questions and tips
Really delicious cake one that will be a favourite.
Not fond of fresh cream so did not make the topping, instead I cooked the rhubarb in a little brown sugar first, drained it well and saved the juice, when I took the cake out of the oven I made a number of holes in the top of the cake and poured the saved rhubarb juice which was nice and syrupee! lovely.
Made this last weekend for a dinner party and it was fabulous! The cake is moist, light, and not at all too sweet. I mixed the lemon curd with Greek yogurt as one reviewer suggested. Also, added a handful of raspberries and one teaspoon of almond extract to the cake. I'll make this again and again--and try some different fruits in there, as well. Thanks!
Super cake! The moistest sponge I've cooked for a while. I added the juice of half a lemon to the batter after adding the flour as it looked a little thick - this worked a treat and gave an extra zesty flavour! Served the cake as an informal dinner party pud and it went down a treat. Ate the leftovers the following day for breakfast! :)
This cake is amazing - would highly recommend it!!!!! Went down a storm at Sunday lunch - absolutely gorgeous, moist and flavoursome. I will definitely make it again but I think it can take more rhubarb so will increase the quantity next time.
My oven took 20 minutes longer than the recipe stated - same as other people noted above. Also I copied the comments above about serving the cream on the side. In addition I stewed surplus rhubard with lemon & ginger and served that on the side too. Mmmmmmmmmmm! Sadly its all gone, otherwise I'd have a slice now!
Made this last night. Due to a timing hiccup we had it warm with the lemon curd cream on the side. It was delicious - definitely one to make again. I used around 1.5 times the rhubarb, and cooked for an extra 15 mins but it still was slightly uncooked in the middle (correct size tin used). I have a quarter of it left so can decide if it is actually better hot or cold later today :)
I have made this tonight, ended up baking it for an extra half hour on a lower heat. Turned out amazing though, so tasty and so moist.
I couldnt find any rhubarb in the shops yet so used a tin of rhubarb and drained as much of the juice out as possible... still turned out lovely.
I also used elmlea double cream and it whipped up nice and firm... i LOVE this cake!!! Thank you!
Made this cake this morning and it is delicious! More like a pudding than a cake! Despite taking alot longer to cook than stated, though I used the correct size cake tin! Also did not use double cream for lemon curd topping, just used lemon curd and icing sugar and topped with orange and lemon slice cake toppers you can get from most supermarkets! Lovely moist cake! Yum, yum!

It's that time of year when you need to unpack your fall fashion collection, Bears football jersey, and grab yourself a pumpkin spice latte, because it is officially fall in Chicago. It is also that time of year thousands of people from 50 states and over 100 countries have dedicated their blood, sweat, and tears in preparation for the Chicago Marathon.
The race starts at Grant Park and loops through the beautiful downtown neighborhoods. If you have friends or family running in the race, the course map will help you navigate through the city.
Times of each wave are as follows:
|Location- Grant Park, Columbus Dr. & Monroe St.
Marathon Wheelchair Start – 7:20am
Marathon Hand-cycle Start – 7:21am
Wave 1 Start- 7:30am
Wave 2 Start – 8:00am
Spectator Access to Grant Park- 8:30am
If you are staying with us at the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago Downtown this weekend, to either run in the Marathon or to cheer someone on, we will have a station set up in the lobby filled with bananas and Gatorade. This will be available starting at 5:30am. While you are there, check out each poster every department of the hotel staff created to root on the runners. We also have a complimentary full American breakfast starting at 6am in our Daniel Burnham room on the second floor of the hotel. If you have any questions or need any information regarding the Marathon, please don't hesitate to ask a front desk representative.
Good luck runners as you concur 26.2 miles on Sunday. You are an inspiration to us all!
For those of you who didn't run the Marathon this year, but are determined to try it in 2013, download Nike's 15-week Bank of America Chicago Marathon Training Program to get you started. As my General Manager, Andrew Scarlett always says when we are working our way toward a certain goal "It's a marathon, not a sprint."
