Friday is officially summer but people have been hitting the pool for a few weeks now. And as temperatures climb, kids and adults will be hitting the water in droves.
It's wet, it's fun and it's potentially dangerous. An accidental drowning last week at an apartment complex swimming pool in Burlington was a scary reminder.
"Among children ages 1 to 4, most drownings occur in home swimming pools," said Kelley Kimrey, health educator at the Alamance County Health Department and coordinator for Safe Kids Alamance County. She said each day 10 people die from unintentional drownings and of those, two are age 14 or younger.
Lack of swimming ability, adult supervision and barriers contribute to child drownings, Kimrey said.
Little things, like a fence separating the pool from the house and yard reduces a child's risk of drowning by 83 percent. Safe Kids Worldwide also recommends taking the time to learn CPR, and passing the knowledge on to children.
Mary Wilson, aquatics director at the Alamance County Community YMCA, is also a member of Safe Kids. She teaches the American Red Cross lifeguard certification courses at the Y in Burlington.
While much of what Wilson teaches is specifically for lifeguards, several practices are beneficial for parents and adult supervisors to keep in mind when kids are in the pool. She said "patron surveillance" or keeping an attentive eye on those in and around the pool can help "spot an emergency before it happens."
By noticing certain behaviors in a swimmer, adults can prevent a drowning. Hollering for help and splashing around is indicative of an "active drowning," but more subtle signs like changed body position in the water, a tired look on the face or grabbing for a lane line for support could indicate a weakened swimmer.
"Sometimes they're just distressed," Wilson said.
She teaches her lifeguards to look at all levels of the water — not just the surface — to make sure a sinking person isn't overlooked.
On that note, Wilson said, it's important to "know your pool."
Homeowners with pools should be aware of where any discolored tiles or stains in their pools are located, so they're not mistaken for a body at the pool's bottom, she said. They should also check pool equipment like ladders to prevent any other injuries.
She said the American Red Cross recommends one lifeguard for every 25 swimmers in a pool, and if there are a lot of younger or inexperienced swimmers, add more lifeguards.
Kimrey and Wilson also advise against the false sense of security found in pool toys that aren't intended as life-saving flotation devices. Pool "noodles," tubes, kickboards, and inflatable water wings shouldn't be depended upon to keep a child, or adult, afloat.
"A lot of parents use those inflatable 'water wings' and tubes," on children that can't swim well on their own, Wilson said.
The inflatable armbands can easily slide off a child's small arms, or puncture and deflate.
"While they're fun, they're not a U.S. Coast Guard-approved flotation device," Kimrey said.
And pool safety isn't just for parents or guardians of young children.
In fact, the person who accidentally drowned in the pool at The Brittany apartments on June 14 was a 26-year-old man. Wilson said the most important key in keeping adults safe in the pool is learning how to swim, and being comfortable around water.
Typically, those who don't know how to swim haven't learned because of a fear of water and, "When you're afraid of the water, that makes you much more at risk,' Wilson said. "You tense up," which makes it harder to float.
Even strong adult swimmers shouldn't overestimate their abilities and take a child out into deep water, Wilson said. Often, an adult becomes weary in the water and when a child begins clinging and clawing at the adult, both go under.
Wilson and Kimrey also warn about alcohol consumption near the water.
Kimrey cited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and said among adolescents and adults, alcohol use is involved in up to 70 percent of deaths associated with water recreation.
"It influences the balance, coordination and judgment," she said. "And the effects are heightened when they're out in the sun."

Arts-oriented City Plaza adds 'sparkle' to Everett
Michael O'Leary/The Herald
Construction is progressing at the new City Plaza park on Wetmore Avenue in downtown Everett between The Everett Pefroming Arts Center and the Village Theatre Youth Education Center, the former Key Bank building.
Michael O'Leary / The Herald
A curved wall is taking shape in the new City Plaza park on Wetmore Ave between the Everett Performing Arts Center and the Village Theatre Youth Education Center, the former KeyBank building. This view is looking south east with Trinity Lutheran College south of the new plaza.
Passersby on Wetmore Avenue, just south of the Everett Performing Arts Center, are used to seeing a construction site. What's taking shape is a new City Plaza park.
Tucked between two theater buildings, the arts-oriented public space will be like nothing else on the cityscape.
"Everything here will sparkle," said Carol Thomas, the city's cultural arts manager.
Construction barriers block access, but during a recent sneak peek Thomas pointed out elements that will make the plaza unique -- right down to what's below a visitor's feet.
The plaza floor is black concrete with silica "for a glitter effect," said John Petersen, Everett's assistant parks director. "It's really a beautiful space," he said.
A curvilinear wall, with portholes and a circular entryway Thomas called a "moon gate," is the plaza's standout element. Three smaller curving walls are for seating. And a kidney-shaped stage will stand near the fountain.
As a performance venue, the plaza will accommodate at least 200 people, Thomas said.
The three-quarter acre plaza -- on Wetmore between Everett Avenue and California Street -- sits between the Everett Performing Arts Center and Village Theatre's new Everett Youth Education Center in the former Key Bank building. Both buildings are owned by the city, which leases the education center to Village Theatre for its Kidstage programs. The youth center opened a year ago in the 1962 building.
Space for the plaza, which is expected to be open by December, came from the city's 2005 purchase, for $1.1 million, of the former Red Men's Lodge plus land the Key Bank building occupied and part of a parking lot. The city bought the bank building separately for $180,000.
Both projects, the Kidstage building and the plaza, have had their critics, largely due to tough economic times. Everett is spending about $2.4 million on the plaza, according to Kate Reardon, the city's spokeswoman. The city spent $1.3 million to renovate the onetime bank building so Village Theatre could lease it.
Everett City Councilman Ron Gipson voted against the projects, which were strongly supported by council members Brenda Stonecipher and the late Drew Nielsen.
Reardon said the $2.4 million comes from the city's capital improvement budget and the cultural arts department. The cost covers design, construction, utility work including removal of a power pole, streetscape work on Wetmore and California, and an artist's contract to create the fountain and mosaics.
The plaza was designed by Nakano Associates, a Seattle-based landscape and urban design firm. The firm worked with Bellingham to design that city's Arts District plaza.
In Everett's City Plaza, Linda Beaumont is the project artist designing the fountain and crafting mosaics that will cover the large wall. From the alley skirting the plaza, the beginnings of Beaumont's mosaics are visible -- shiny pieces of mirrored glass, honey onyx and carrera marble.
Among Beaumont's other projects are Safeco Field's "The Tempest," an installation of translucent baseball bats; "Current," a shimmering floor at Bellevue City Hall that suggests the flow of water; and a work called "Spinning Our Wheels," made of steel discs, at Sea-Tac Airport.
Mosaic work on the wall will continue next year. It can't be finished during winter weather, Thomas said. People in the community will get a chance to work on the mosaics, she added.
Reardon said the park, with its mosaic-covered wall and lighted terrazzo fountain with sculptures, borrows elements from a plaza in Barcelona, Spain, where architect Antoni Gaudi created a whimsical world.
If weather cooperates, Reardon said the plaza should be largely finished by Dec. 1.
"We see it as a gathering place in downtown for all kinds of arts -- performances of theater and performance of music," Thomas said. It's definitely not is a skate park. Like other public places, it has built-in "skateboard stops," Thomas said.
Petersen, the assistant parks director, said the plaza is a city park and will be maintained by the parks department. It will have a variety of trees and other landscaping. "No grass," Petersen said.
It's a construction site now, but Petersen said workers have heard "an awful lot of positive comments."
"We want to make it a very active space -- a gathering space for the arts," Thomas said.

An Evening with the Author
As the author of Confessions: An Innocent Life in Communist China (1997), Kang Zhengguo has provided a picaresque and highly personal memoir of a writer's travails. Of Confessions, William Grimes reported in The New York Times, "[Kang] lives through the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, the thaw following Mao's death, the growing democracy movement of the 1980s and the crackdown after the protests in Tiananmen Square. […] The great events are expressed in personal terms, and they are colored by Mr. Kang's unusual sensibility. […] Simply as a documentary record of daily life in China, Confessions is a rewarding read, but Mr. Kang, a gifted stylist […], has transmuted his struggles into a literary work of high distinction."
Kang Zhengguo currently teaches at Yale University, where he is Senior Lector in East Asian Languages and Literatures, a post he has held since 1994. He has published numerous articles and books in Chinese as well as English. These include Body and Desire (Shanghai: Shanghai wenyi, 2001), Fengsao yu yanqing: Chinese Classical Poetry by and about Women (Shanghai: Shanghai wenyi, 2001), and Chongshen fengyue jian: Sexuality and Literature in Traditional China (Taipei: Maitian, 1996). Kang has lectured widely in the United States, China, and Sweden on a broad range of subjects, including Chinese public policy, Chinese classical literature, and gender and cultural studies.
Kang Zhengguo's lecture is sponsored by the Gould Center.
(Un)Covering the Narrative Industry
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Marcy Wheeler, who blogs under the name 'emptywheel', rose to prominence in the summer of 2005 when she began writing about the CIA leak case. Had New York Times reporter Judith Miller gone to prison to protect the First Amendment? Or was she part of someone's alibi, protecting a White House source who may have helped expose a CIA agent? Wheeler's prescient inquiries, developed entirely from public sources and close analysis of mainstream press accounts, illuminated the inconsistencies and contradictions in the then-dominant media narrative about the Fitzgerald investigation. Wheeler's blogging ultimately resulted in a book published on the eve of the Scooter Libby trial: Anatomy of Deceit: How the Bush Administration Used the Media to Sell the Iraq War and Out a Sp (Vaster, 2007). Wheeler herself "live-blogged" the Libby trial from Washington D.C. for emptywheel.firedoglake.com, her current online home.
A 1990 Amherst graduate, Marcy Wheeler earned a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Michigan. Wheeler believes her academic training gives her a unique edge in analyzing current events and for unpacking suspect narratives in the media. Her doctoral thesis examined the feuilleton, which included early 19th century responses to Napoleonic censorship and self-published, privately-circulated writings of dissident writers in 1970s Czechoslovakia (including playwright Vaclav Havel). Wheeler believes the work of contemporary bloggers echoes the spirit of those who fought censorship and official discourse in previous eras.
When she is not blogging, Wheeler works as a business consultant in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Our Most Valuable Asset
The Athenaeum is pleased to welcome one of our own, Joshua Rosett, the inaugural Curb Family Professor of Business and Law and a George R. Roberts fellow at Claremont McKenna College. Professor Rosett is a favorite of accounting and economics students, and is widely published on topics such as valuation, human capital, and corporate governance.
Music and film entrepreneurs Mike Curb and Carole Curb Nemoy P'07 — principals of The Curb Family Foundation — created this new faculty endowment in 2007 to provide CMC students with opportunities to understand common entrepreneurial challenges faced by individuals interested in forming a business and to play a significant role in the College's upcoming campaign.
Professor Rosett graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Honors in Economics from the University of Chicago in 1983. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University. After his doctoral work, Professor Rosett was the recipient of post-doctoral fellowships at the National Bureau of Economic Research (1988-1990) and the Accounting Department at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana (1991-1992). Before joining the faculty at CMC in fall 2003, Professor Rosett served on the faculties of Tulane University, Southern Methodist University, U.S. Business School in Prague, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois, Champaign Urbana.

With the passing of Frankie Laine last year, America lost one of the 20th century's most successful and legendary entertainers. America's Number One Song Stylist had over 70 charted records to his credit, 21 of which went gold. Later in his career, his rendition of the title song for the Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles (1974) won an Oscar nomination for Best Song. A gifted and versatile singer, Laine excelled at an impressive range of musical styles, from pop standards to folk, gospel to country, and of course his signature jazz. Also known as Mr. Rhythm, Laine brought a driving beat, passionate vibrancy, and powerful voice to the genre, and his innovation and style left an indelible mark on the musical world. A musical descendent of Billy Eckstine, Joe Turner, and Jimmy Rushing, his rise signaled the end of the era of Sinatra's bandstand crooning and the beginning of the age of blues and rock n' roll. Laine's pioneering success paved the way for the rise of artists who also revolutionized music, such as Tony Bennet, Johnnie Ray, and Elvis Presley himself.
Joining renowned baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan for this unique evening of jazz will be saxophonists Gary Foster and Jerry Pinter as well as Ron Stout (trumpet), Dave Woodley (trombone), Stephanie O'Keefe (French horn) and a rhythm section of Cecilia Coleman (piano), Putter Smith (bass) and Kendall Kay (drums). This 21st-century perspective on one of the 20th century's greats is sponsored by the American Jazz Institute. The Yamaha grand piano is provided courtesy of Keyboard Concepts and David L. Abell-fine pianos.
Model Organisms and Small Science: The Serendipitous Nature of Discovery
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
How can the yeast used for brewing African beers contribute to understanding human cancer? The scientific study of some relative simple organisms such as yeasts can indeed answer important questions. Dr. Nicholas Rhind of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, University of Massachusetts Medical School will be at Athenaeum to relate his research achievements to the discovery pathways in science.
Everyday we are exposed to UV radiation and genotoxic chemicals in the environment that can cause damage in our DNA. Failure to repair these genetic damages leads to genomic instability and subsequently cancer development. Checkpoint is the mechanism cells use to deal with problems such as DNA damage. Dr. Rhind's main research interest is the checkpoint regulation of the cell cycle using fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model organism. Although much simpler than human, fission yeast has the checkpoint control similar to those in human cells. In fact, much of what is known about human checkpoints control was first discovered in this yeast. Dr. Rhind's work has made impacts in the important research area.
"One molecule at a time" approach as a traditional path in molecular biology studies is under threat from two directions: the external funding environment may favor more 'targeted research'; the internal growth in so-called 'big-science' biology claims the ability to compile massive data sets to solve more problems more efficiently. We may only find what we are looking for in the traditional approach while we may obtain more data than we care about in the 'big-science' route. What will be good for discovery? Dr. Rhind will tell us his view.
Nicholas Rhind's lecture at the Athenaeum is co-sponsored by the David E. French Lectureship Fund.
Interpersonal Expectancy Effects and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
Everyone knows about the Pygmalion effect — that expectations bring self-fulfilling prophecies. But, as far as teachers' expectations in the classroom, Robert Rosenthal proved it.
Robert Rosenthal is currently a distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and Professor Emeritus from Harvard. His classic research, with Leonore Jacobson, demonstrated that labeling particular students as "bloomers" or "gifted" resulted in teachers' perceptions of intellectual growth and development, while in reality the students had been labeled at random. This expectancy advantage can be applied in many areas, such as productivity improvement, employee commitment, and resource integration.
Robert Rosenthal is the recipient of many awards including the Distinguished Scientific Award for Applications of Psychology, APA, 2002; Professor of the Year Award, 2000-01; James McKeen Cattell Award, American Psychological Society, 2001; and Distinguished Scientist Award, Society of Experimental Social Psychology, 1996.
Professor Rosenthal's visit is sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute, and he is the KLI Leadership Students' Choice to speak on campus this year. His talk on "Interpersonal Expectancy Effects and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies" is part of the KLI Series on Governance and Accountability In 21st Century Organizations.
Journalism: A Crisis and a Model
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
On February 12, in a piece about the rise of nonprofit journalism, the Christian Science Monitor highlighted voiceofsandiego.org as the centerpiece of a new movement. The Monitor found that Voice "has managed to take on the powerful with the panache of a scrappy big-city paper." In just three years, the online daily news source has made a major difference in San Diego during a time of crisis in the world of journalism. Every day, it seems, another major metropolitan paper announces severe cutbacks in both coverage and talent. The reasons are obvious. Fewer and fewer people find themselves moved to buy services or commodities advertised inside a daily newspaper. Advertisers have found more economical and at the same time more successful ways of marketing their offerings. But journalism is still a vital function of a healthy society. Unfortunately, it no longer has the luck of being supported by such a profitable marketing sector.
What's happening in San Diego is one model of how communities might address this - journalism as a public benefit not a hugely profitable enterprise. Most newspapers spend upward of 60 or 70 percent of their budgets printing and distributing the paper product. Online ventures like voiceofsandiego.org can produce journalism without these costs. The San Diego CityBeat, in 2006, wrote that Scott Lewis, co-editor of voiceofsandiego.org, had become "one of the most important opinion leaders in San Diego." Scott oversees the website's daily production, the business operations and commentary that appears on the site. He also writes a weekly column and maintains a blog on San Diego politics. He will speak about how he and his staff are working to provide one model for how journalism might survive the destruction of its traditional business model.
This lecture by Scott Lewis is sponsored by the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at CMC.
Love, Power, and Specialization: The Economics of the Family
Shelly Lundberg, Castor Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology at the University of Washington, is second in the spring semester series sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children.
She is currently an associate editor of the Journal of Population Economics, and a member of the editorial board of the American Economic Review and Review of Economics of the Household, and was formerly a co-editor of the Journal of Human Resources. Lundberg was also a founding member of the MacArthur Foundation's Research Network on the Family, a multidisciplinary group of family researchers, and also the MacArthur Foundation's Inequality Modeling Group.
Lundberg's research is focused in labor economics and the economics of the family, and includes both theoretical modeling (of discrimination and inequality and of family decision-making) and empirical analysis (of fertility, labor supply, wage determination, and intra-household allocation of resources). Her current research includes projects on racial segregation and inequality, the relationship between family roles and labor market outcomes for American men and women and on the development of children as economic agents, and the retirement and savings decisions of married couples. Her publications include studies of unemployment and restrictions on work hours, the effects of teenage childbearing, the enforcement of anti-discrimination policies in the labor market, and models of bargaining between married couples.
An Evening with Mort Sahl
Without Mort Sahl, stand-up comedy would not exist as we know it. In the 1950s, Sahl began delivering his trademark sarcastic wit and observational comedy at the "hungry i", San Francisco's legendary nightclub. Yet Sahl is no mere comedian. His improvisational routines draw from daily life and from newspaper headlines, allowing him to deliver biting social and political commentary. Sahl thus began a tradition of political satire that has been taken up by comedians as diverse as Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Dick Gregory, Woody Allen, and Jay Leno.
Sahl's work became even more political after his friend John F. Kennedy became President in 1961. Sahl wrote speeches for JFK, yet continued make jokes at Kennedy's expense. When JFK was assassinated in 1963, however, Sahl became a passionate critic of the Warren Commission, convinced that the assassination was not properly investigated. His 1976 book, Heartland, chronicles his original rise as a comedy superstar and his obsession with the Kennedy assassination. Yet Sahl remained active on the comedic and political stage, however, befriending President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s and treating him to a comedic "roast."
Sahl was born in Montreal, Canada, and moved to Los Angeles as a child. He enrolled in ROTC as a young man and served at an Air Force base in Alaska before attending the University of Southern California. Only three years after graduating with a degree in traffic engineering and city planning, Sahl began his stint at the hungry i, transforming the comedy world forever. Woody Allen credits Sahl as inspiring him to become a comedian, and has compared Sahl's influence on comedy to Charlie Parker's influence on jazz.
Claremont McKenna College is extremely lucky to host Mort Sahl as the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies' distinguished visitor, where he taught the Gould Center seminar, "The Revolutionary's Handbook," in the Fall semester of 2007, and is currently teaching a course on screenwriting.
Lie Detection and the Polygraph: Misrepresented, Misunderstood, and Misused
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Are polygraphs reliable? How do they work, anyway? Polygraphs, commonly known as "lie detectors," have become one of the most prominent methods of exposing deception since their introduction in the early 20th century. They are staples of TV dramas and game shows, and are even used by government agencies to screen people with security clearances and prevent espionage. Nevertheless, evidence obtained with a polygraph remains controversial, and such evidence is difficult (though not impossible) to admit in American courts.
The Athenaeum welcomes Dr. Charles Honts, a national polygraph expert, to discuss the polygraph and the issues surrounding its use. Honts earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute before obtaining a Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the University of Utah in 1986. He is a noted forensic psychologist and professor at Boise State University, and has published many articles in journals such as Legal and Criminological Psychology and Psychology, Crime & Law. Honts has also worked as a polygraph examiner, providing expert witness testimony and serving as a consultant for local police forces, the US Secret Service, and the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigation. Proper use of the polygraph requires a strong background in psychological and legal issues, and Dr. Honts' broad experience in these fields puts him in an excellent position to discuss both the potential and the perils of the polygraph.
Back to the Future: Clinton, Bush, and North Korea
After North Korea agreed to dismantle its nuclear energy program in return for badly needed aid in February 2007, critics of North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong-il, attacked the negotiations because past actions of the North Korean leadership revealed an unwillingness to carry out brokered deals. In large part, these lingering questions and doubts about the integrity of North Korean leadership stem from a lack of serious historical investigation of the events and developments leading to the current North Korean nuclear conflict and the tumult that has characterized the relationship between the U.S. and North Korea. In order to help shed light on the attitudes and behavior of the North Korean regime, it is necessary to critically examine the history and the reasons why North Korea started its nuclear program.
Offering a nuanced and rich approach to unraveling the logic of North Korean foreign policy, Bruce Cumings, prominent scholar of North Korea and East Asian history and politics, will speak on the North Korean nuclear conflict. Dr. Cumings is the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in History and the College at the University of Chicago. Dr. Cumings has written seven books and numerous scholarly articles on various topics, including the histories of North and South Korea, and the history of U.S. foreign policy in East Asia. His publications include The Origins of the Korean War, Volumes I (1981) and II (2004); War and Television (1994); North Korea: Another Century (2004) and forthcoming Dominion from Sea to Sea: Pacific Ascendancy and American Power (2009). He is a frequent contributor to the Op/Ed section of the New York Times, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and Current History, and has appeared in television programs such as the documentary Korea: The Unknown War, for which he was the principle historical consultant. In 2007, Dr. Cumings won the Kim Dae Jung Prize for Scholarly Contribution to Democracy, Human Rights and Peace.
This visit by Bruce Cumings is sponsored by the Keck Center.
The Great Debate: Private Equity and Its Impact on the Global Economy
Private equity has attracted unprecedented attention in the past two years. These funds—which buy using equity and debt, restructure, and sell companies—have been both lauded as long-run investors who heal firms and criticized for their myopic outlook and outsized profits. This talk will explore who these shadowy actors are, how they work, and what their impact on the larger economy is. The talk will highlight research findings from a project recently completed under the umbrella of the World Economic Forum.
Josh Lerner is the Jacob H. Schiff Professor of Investment Banking at Harvard Business School, with a joint appointment in the Finance and Entrepreneurial Management Units. Much of Professor Lerner's research focuses on the structure and role of venture capital and private equity organizations. He also examines technological innovation and how firms are responding to changing public policies. He founded, raised funding for, and organizes two groups at the National Bureau of Economic Research: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy and the Economy. His work has been published in a variety of top academic journals.
Professor Lerner graduated from Yale College with a Special Divisional Major that combined physics with the history of technology. He worked for several years on issues concerning technological innovation and public policy, at the Brookings Institution, for a public-private task force in Chicago, and on Capitol Hill. He then obtained a Ph.D. from Harvard's Economics Department. In the 1993-94 academic year, he introduced an elective course for second-year MBAs on private equity finance. In recent years, "Venture Capital and Private Equity" has consistently been one of the largest elective courses at Harvard Business School.
Josh Lerner's visit to Claremont McKenna College is sponsored by the Financial Economics Institute.
The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty, Delhi 1857
William Dalrymple was born in Scotland and wrote his first travel book In Xanadu: A Quest (1989) at the age of twenty two. Judging by this as well as his next books (all award winning), The City of Djinns (1993), From the Holy Mountain (1997) and The Age of Kali (1998), his reviewers believed him to be a natural travel writer. Then he found a mystery he could not resist and tracked it down with a search through archives as adventurous as his travel writing. The White Mughals (2002) is one of the most memorable books of its genre and has been followed by The Last Mughal (2007) establishing Mr Dalrymple as an extraordinary conjuncture of genres: a popular, best-selling writer who is also highly respected as a historian.
These two books, both dealing with the British in India, seem at first sight historical fiction revolving around romance and tragedy. As all historians have acknowledged, however, they are based on impressive, path breaking research and Urdu, Persian, and English sources never used before. In The White Mughals, Dalrymple reverses several stereotypes. The British were not always condescending, superior rulers, but up to a certain point were well assimilated into Indian Islamic culture. The secluded Muslim woman was not helpless or powerless and the Indian court was not degenerate or backward. Assimilation was such that it sets a challenge to our contemporary world.
In The Last Mughal Dalrymple writes more of his empathetic, evocative history as he describes an extraordinary moment when the last of the Mughals, Zafar, is exiled by the British. Another painful stereotype is reversed as violence is shown, brilliantly, as being no one religion or society's monopoly; to be, indeed, British, rather than Islamic.
William Dalrymple's visit has been arranged in conjunction with the courses on modern South Asia taught by Professor Nita Kumar.
Political and Economic Reform under President Putin: An Insider's Perspective
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Andrei Illarionov is best known for his five years in Vladimir Putin's presidential administration as the chief economic advisor. However, in 2005 Illarionov resigned from his position declaring, "This year Russia has become a different country. It is no longer a democratic country. It is no longer a free country". He also claimed he had lost his ability to influence the direction of the government and that the Kremlin put limits on him expressing his point of view. Illarionov had been one of the lone voices high up in the Putin administration who overtly criticized the Yukos affair, the growing role of government officials on large companies such as Gazprom and Rosneft, and Russia's energy policy toward Ukraine. Most extraordinary, Illarionov had also been a proponent of the secession of Chechnya.
Illarionov received his Ph.D. from St. Petersburg University in 1987. During the Yeltsin administration, Illarionov served for one year as the senior economic adviser to Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. In July 1994 Illarionov founded the Institute of Economic Analysis and became its director. On April 12, 2000, Illarionov assumed the position of Vladimir Putin's senior economic adviser within the Russian presidential administration, and in May 2000 he became the personal representative of the Russian president in the G8. He played a central role in Russian tax reform, in repaying the Russian foreign debt, in the creation of the Russian Stabilization Fund and in achieving Russia's full-fledged membership in the political G8.
Currently, Illarionov is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity in Washington. During his career, he has coauthored several economic programs for Russian governments and has written three books and more than 300 articles on Russian economic and social policies. Illarionov's visit is co-sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and The Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.

LIMA — What was originally supposed to be a routine traffic stop turned into a high-speed chase that lasted more than an hour and involved officers from three different law enforcement agencies.
According to Sgt. Fred DePalma of the Allen County Sheriff's Office, at 2:38 a.m. Saturday, officers were in the process of pulling over a 2011 Mercury in regards to an equipment infraction. The driver then took off, leading patrol cars on a high-speed chase both within city limits as well as on county roads. Officers from the Lima Police Department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol assisted in the chase.
DePalma said that spike strips were laid out on the roadway in an attempt to force the driver to stop. While the vehicle did run over the spikes, the driver was able to maintain control and prolong the chase.
The chase continued until 4:05 a.m., when the vehicle finally flipped over on state Route 81 at the Interstate 75 overpass and came to a stop, causing the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, to be trapped inside. The driver was then extricated from the vehicle and was recovering from minor injuries at a local hospital. No officers were injured during the chase.
The identity of the driver had not been released as of late Saturday as no charges had yet been filed, pending the driver's release from the hospital.

Why do I need a SUBSCRIBE option?
Because , if one of your customers forwards your email campaign to some of his/her friends by using the Forward To a Friend link , they will need an option to be able to subscribe to your emailing list.
How can we get in CONTACT with YOU?
I'm a beginner, Is this WELL DOCUMENTED for me too?
Help file(s) are descriptive, including stepBystep instructions, covering everything from zero to hero , considering the chances that you are totally new to the email marketing. In case you ever need any information, they will be there and ready for you..:
On LIVE PREVIEW, layout doesn't fit to my browser window when I resize my browser. Why?
1 - Try removing the top frame (ThemeForest) , please check the image below..:
2 - If a layout doesn't resizes according to the size of your browser, that's because LIVE PREVIEWS are using encrypted html for security reasons.
When customizing my template, it seems Mailchimp adds some extra spacing, why is that? (this F.A.Q. is about customizing Mailchimp ready files without touching any HTML code, via Mailchimp's template builder)
Mailchimp does that when customizing Mailchimp Ready Files.
This is not a problem and the extra spacing will NOT appear when you send your wonderful email.
Let's assume that I don't want to use Mailchimp Ready templates , and I haven't done e-mail campaigns before.
How can I edit (update) the Plain HTML Files with my content,
I mean, using what program..?
Changing the content is really easy , even by just following the comments in the HTML file you can very easily update the content. HTML File is very well commented. You can use any text editor (even notepad) to change the content. Just read comments in the HTML file carefully and it should be ok. Also, A very descriptive help file included within the download. Anyway, please never hesitate to ask any questions, I'm here to help.
Besides Plain html files, RespoSensive Responsive Email Templates also include Mailchimp ready files which allow you to change your content without touching HTML. Customize your layout with ease, add and remove modules by using Mailchimp ide.
Can I customize my template with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, for example, like DreamWeaver's DESIGN view?
You shouldn't do it because WYSIWYG editors adding unProper code to your html file , causing the layouts break. You should customize your template within HTML file by using a text editor. If you're using DreamWeaver, use its CODE view instead of its DESIGN view.(In DreamWeaver, you can open CODE view from Top Menu > View > Code) You can alsa use any of your favourite text editor (even notePad will do) to customize your template.
Code is deeply commented with detail, read the comments in the HTML File and you'll see it is really very easy.
I did a TEST with one of the files at the LIVE PREVIEW BEFORE PURCHASE , but it doesn't look as it should be. Why..?
If you perform a test with the LIVE PREVIEW, you will NOT get the results you should, because it is only a LIVE PREVIEW and encrypted for security reasons. The files which you are going to download with the purchase are all tested with LITMUS, and all are working fine (all have Embedded and Inline versions). Anyway, If you need a sample to be sure before your purchase, please get in contact with me and I can send a sample file for you to test. Everybody wins
I have a SPECIAL CASE . For example, let's assume that I want to use the HTML in this template as inserted into -APPLE Mountain Lion for use as stationery, is it possible ?
In special cases, just contact with me from my profile page, I can send you an example layout from the product. You can examine the example I've sent you and then you can make your decision with 100% confidence to purchase it. Everybody wins.

True student-athletes no longer exist
- Updated: September 19, 2013
Here's what I found shocking about recent investigative reports from Yahoo! Sports about five SEC players receiving illegal benefits and Sports Illustrated's exhaustive look at Oklahoma State's rise to football prominence: Nothing.
Were the pieces troubling? Certainly. Did they expose the unseemly side of college athletes? Surely. Did they point out the corruption we know is present? Definitely.
Admit it: The notion of a true student-athlete is dead. Today's players, especially those who play major college football and basketball, live in a world of big business, where everyone except those who actually play the game is rewarded handsomely.
Noted historian Taylor Branch said big-time college sports have become an extension of the plantation system. Even Walter Byers, who headed the NCAA for 37 years, had similar views about a system where great amounts of money end up in the hands of a few.
David Zirin, the first sports writer at The Nation magazine, shared this telling nugget with Bill Moyers on Moyers and Company last Friday. He endorsed the idea of college athletes getting paid. "I mean, think about it like this. Woody Hayes, he's the coach over at Ohio State (from 1951 to 1978). His last year coaching there, he made $43,000 a year. Today the coach at Ohio State, Urban Meyer, makes $4 million a year as a base salary, $4 million a year."
This is the same Ohio State University where some of the football team's best athletes were suspended for several games because they sold the gifts they received at a bowl game to pay for tattoos. Players sell merchandise and get penalized, while a coach gets a raise equal to about 100 times the salary of his legendary predecessor, and there's hardly a peep. Somebody, thanks to the NCAA, got a raw deal in Columbus.
College sports, especially football, have been a big – and profitable — draw for a long time. But when new-found money entered the picture with the advent of cable television – an industry desperately in need of expanded programming – college sports teams and their conferences were anxious to cash in.
If ever there was a goose that laid golden eggs, this was it.
Everyone seemed happy with the windfall, except those providing the entertainment: the players. Their lot stayed about the same. No wonder a player like D.J. Fluker, who starred on Alabama's national championship team last season, would feel entitled to a little something in advance of his first pro paycheck. Same, in all likelihood, for Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, who must have understood the value of his autograph.
While reaching for riches, the powerful universities and their governing body – the NCAA – have created a monster. It's a not-for-profit, big business trying to operate under an umbrella called amateurism.
The leaders of these prestigious universities, pragmatic as well as scholarly, must know that change is inevitable. Some observers call for the introduction of free market principals to benefit athletes, but that idea is fraught with problems. That system would just channel mounds of cash to the few celebrity stars at the expense of those outside the media spotlight.
Conference presidents are pressuring embattled NCAA president Mark Emmert to resolve these issues. At the same time the NCAA faces lawsuits from past and present players over the questionable marketing of their "likenesses" without compensation.
Elsewhere, some colleges are cracking down on athletes who see college ball as little more than a stepping stone to a livelihood in the pros.
In a recent article in Forbes, contributor Darren Heitner was critical of the University of Illinois for further limiting access by legitimate sports agents to athletes. If colleges were truly interested in protecting student-athletes, he argued, they wouldn't promote behind-the-scenes communications and back-door dealings.
"But the truth is that the welfare of student-athletes is not the No. 1 priority; instead, it is the maintenance of scholarships, the preservation of wins and the ability to compete in bowl games (soon-to-be playoff games)," he wrote. "The hypocrisy runs rampant."
College sports have traded their integrity for riches. But life hasn't improved for the jocks. Some things just never change down on the plantation.

Double post
Thread: Viktor & Rolf SPICEBOMB
I don't think it will make much of a difference but it is pushing designer frgrances up a bit.
US pricing -
Dior Homme and Sport 50ml = $57; 100ml = $76
Chanel Bleu & AHSE 50ml = $62; 100ml = $84
Spicebomb 50ml = $75; 90ml = $95
Double post
I don't know. V&R just might be pricier in general. I think Antidote was priced higher than the competition when it came out. I was just surprised a little at $75 for 50ml.
Pricey or not, I rarely see a line for any cologne here in Vegas especially at Nordstroms. Fashion show mall has some crazy good shopping and others Barny's etc nearby as well. Rare to see more than 1-2 guys browsing in Nordstroms fragrances, the line freaked me out lol. I was 5th in line.... didn't look like they would run out soon there were a good 30 bottles just on the display stand.
Either it was a weird coincidence or this sucker is going to be popular. Also combine that with the fact of all the watery smell of nothing releases the second half of 2011 maybe of designer frags? Not sure but really? a line? lol.
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.
For the record, Nordstrom in the US is having a gift with purchase of the $95 100ml of Spicebomb:
A .5 oz of the aftershave balm.

Duplicate post...
I just got it! To my nose, I smell a mix of Pure Malt and La Nuit...I think Reckoner is right on the money (minus the headache part, at least not yet ). I'm really liking it so far. It has a little bit of a bubblegum smell but I like it much better than 1 million.
If anybody bought this and doesn't like it, I'll trade my l'instant de gurlain pour homme extreme for it!
I'm really enjoying my sample of it and I may get a bottle. It's a really smooth scent that has a vanilla sweetness and a little added fruit. It kind of reminds me of the smell of gummy bears to be honest and it's very unique for a designer fragrance.
Got my bottle today. My oh my, this smells good. Very good. Initially I got a TV drydown vibe. But it's followed up by some freshness, the spice reminds me quite a lot of Burberry London. It's sort of a strange spring release, but I think the freshness of it can make it work very well in the hotter months as well.
This was a very, very, very pleasant surprise.
I smelled this one today and the drydown smells more like Killian - Amber Oud to me ???

tried this again today...
my first thought? you gotta be kidding me.
qualitatively, this is a $15 fragrance. no way I would pay $90 for this. that is absurd.
needless to say, i worry for the future of Viktor & Rolf.
Managed to test this in Selfridges today, unfortunately it doesn't go on sale until the 6th.
On first impression I like it, I can see a loose resemblence to Tobacco Vanille, but it reminds me of something else, but cannot for the life of my work out what!!
Will have to sample this one a few times I think...
I think one of the reasons why people think it's cheap smelling is because it's too sweet which I agree but in a positive way. I tend to find spicy fragrance too mature smelling for a 21 yr old which is why I tend to stay away from classic chanel and guerlain fragrances but the sweetness has a youthful vibe which I always welcome
Is any one getting a Burberry London feel from this fragrance also???
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.
More HERE
Please PM me !
Just tried it and my 1st impression is that I like it. As far as the price goes, it's can be an endless discussion...to high, etc., it's all relative. There going for it with this one, huge ad campaign, the works. If they win this price probably won't seem that high anymore. If it's a flop, V & R has long road in front of them to bounce back.

It's still brilliant. Was going strong when I was done with work, but wanted to experience the topnotes again so fired off a few more sprays. The opening has some good grapefruit freshness going on I think.
I also get a few different smells throughout, it gives me some different aspects back and forth.
Anyone know where to find it in NYC? Nordstrom Rack doesnt carry it.....Bloomingdales maybe?
CDG 3 (The one you CAN'T find anywhere) for trade.

Pulled the pin on it today. Why not - it's very nice stuff, and if you're inclined to go for spicy frags, you'll like it. Best to get this now, and get in a few good wearings before it becomes THE ubiquitous scent of the season. Has good potential to be a smash hit. Reminds me quite a bit of Eaux de Baux. Well-priced for the quality, IMO.
Just a heads up to my fellow Canadians, its now available at The Bay. Official launch is tomorrow. 50ml is $75 and 100ml is $99.
Testing it right now, I'm quite dissapointed to be honest. How on earth can they call this Spicebomb, I love spicy fragrances but where's the spice in this one?! And where's the bomb? This stuff is really tame actually. It's really not that bad, but I think it's quite unremarkable.
It reminds me a little of Midnight in Paris, especially in the drydown, but although they share some similarities, I think MiP has just that little extra that makes it interesting enough for a purchase while Spicebomb lacks that. With Spicebomb sprayed on my one hand and Montale Red Aoud on my other right now there really is no doubt in the world which one has my preference...
For the second time today, I'm 8 hours into the drydown of this thing. For now, I'm a huge fan. This smells so nice. It sort of makes my London redundant though. Last far, far longer, smells better and is more interesting. It changes back and forth and the wiffs I get are different.
My collar smells fresher then my skin, I think some of the grapefruit is still going strong on the collar.
Bomb or not, this is spicy in the same way La Nuit or London is spicy. Not cummin spicy (thank god), but pepperish spicy?
I think, for the first time in a very, very long time, I might actually end up spraying this tomorow as well.
This is really pushing my buttons at the moment.
Yeah the drydown is very nice and smooth
I actually wore it as my SOTD today and I'm going to have to take back my original praise for it. The sweetness that I thought was smooth and subtle actually turned out to be sickly and quite frankly nauseating. Thank goodness for samples!
Too sweet for my taste. I was going to buy a bottle based on the opening (I haven't bought a bottle in a while and just wanted to get it out of my system), but found I left my wallet at home. As it dried down, I realized it wasn't for me. I see the MiP comparison Daze makes, but with Spicebomb having the pronounced sweet bubblegum note.
Got myself a bottle this week and loving it.
People around me like it as well, so so far so good!
Tried it again today. This time it smelled much more like One Million with a sugary vanilla drydown. Perhaps it's had a reformulation already!
I think ill be buying a bottle soon this stuff is great! Love how some people are bashing this because its one of the most talked about fragrances at the moment.
Is this staying as a Harrods exclusive in the UK?
Initially it smelled like a mix between La Nuit De L'Homme and 1 Million. Then after 30 min it smelled very very similar to Tobacco Vanille. Oddly enough it went back to smelling like 1 Million with the sweet bubble gum smell. On paper it seems to smell almost exclusively like 1 Million.

I did get the "plum" vibe from this that I also sometimes get from Tv.
Hey guys, I haven't tried this yet. How does it compare to Opium by YSL?
Ok so now I'm getting a big Pure Havane vibe out of Spicebomb. It's a chameleon fragrance! Also the longevity is pretty sucky. It started off heavy for the first hour and then it died down close to the skin and at the 3 hour mark it's just hanging in there. Anybody else getting bad longevity?

2. Lectric Shave

4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock
I concur, the longevity is super weak on this the more I wear it - the only drawback.
i get above average longevity at around 8 hours but sillage is below average after 3 hrs. It seems to project very well during the first 2 hours then it significantly dies down. That could be a good thing because I plan to abuse this in summer but I do wish that it'd project just a little bit better.

What Are the Costs of Foundation Repair in San Antonio?
It's no doubt that foundation repairs can be very costly especially when the problem is not attended to in good time. Anyway, what are the costs of foundation repair in San Antonia? Well, this question may not have a clear cut answer. Costs may vary from one house to another and from one foundation repair contractor to another. As one would expect, there are those who charge much more than the competition, those who charge way below the competition, and those whose charges fall in the median range. Again, there are many other factors that determine the cost of foundation repair.
Know What You Are Dealing With First
For the avoidance of doubt, the first thing you should do is to find a structural engineer to inspect your house. The signs you are seeing in your house may not necessarily be linked to your foundation. It is also important that you get at least three contractors to come and inspect the extent of your foundation problem before they give you their quotes. Never accept any proposal or cost estimate before a thorough investigation of the problem.
Are You Paying For The Contractors Inefficiencies?
It can be very disappointing to discover that you have paid much more than necessary for an inferior service just because you did not bother to check beforehand the average costs of foundation repairs. Exorbitantly high prices may mean that the contractor wants you to pay even for what you don't need. Some foundation repair contractors may let unsuspecting homeowners pay for franchise fees, inefficient installation methods, heavily financed equipment and excessive warranty claims. This is basically shouldering the costs of their inefficiencies.
Contractors that have adopted new repair technology and effective work processes have fairly affordable prices. Eliminating middlemen in operations is one way in which a contractor can significantly reduce costs. This ensures that what you get is what you pay for i.e. actual services offered. The average foundation repair cost is usually about $ 7000 with a minimum and a maximum range of $ 3000 to 16,000 respectively depending on the nature and complexity of the repair.
Factors That Determine the Costs of Foundation Repair In San Antonio
Extent of Foundation Damage
This is clearly one of the most important determinants. Ideally, a foundation problem that is just starting should not cost as much as a problem that has deteriorated over time. Severe foundation damage manifest itself in doors that will not close or open, large cracks on the basement wall or ceiling and bowed walls, among others. A severely damaged foundation will require a more extensive stabilization through interior piers than a slight foundation problem. The large number of steel piers and the masonry work required will push the price upwards.
Weight and Size
Weight and size of the structure also weigh on the Costs of Foundation Repair. Essentially, heavy structures require tighter piering to support the weight. Conversely, large floor surfaces will require more piers to offer the required support. Costs may just hit the rooftops if your contractor is also the naturally expensive type.
Previous Foundation Repairs
This is also a very important aspect when talking about repair costs. If foundation repair had been done to your house before, the contractor will have to remove the previous repair work to give room for fresh repairs. This means that you have to pay them for the extra prep work plus the actual work.
Type of Repair Method
These may include installation of piers (also known as piering), slabjacking and other modern technologies.There are many variants of the above methods some of which may be less permanent than others. Generally, piering is usually more expensive than the other methods because it requires a lot of excavation work. It is also considered more permanent.
Multi skilled Contractors
Hiring a contractor who is experienced in both foundation repair and masonry work can considerably reduce foundation repair costs. This is especially true when the foundation repair work will also involve a lot of masonry work. If your foundation repair contactor is not conversant with masonry, it may be damn expensive because the contractor will be forced to look for another contractor to do the masonry works.
Ease of Accessing Your Foundation
The easier it is to access your foundation with the equipments, the cheaper the costs. If a lot of effort has to be put to get the equipment into the right places, then you may have to pay the contractor more for the effort.
In summary, thecosts of foundation repair are determined by the extent of damage to the foundation, the size of your house, previous foundation repairs, the type of repair undertaken and the ease of access to your foundation, among others. The average foundation repair cost of a medium sized foundation is $ 7000. However, costs may go beyond $10,000 and fall much lower than $ 7000 depending on the unique circumstances.

Grey Bloem adapted better to the wet conditions in their 22-3 win over Grey PE in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
The annual Grey derby was played in a rainy Port Elizabeth over the weekend, which forced the teams to play a conservative brand of rugby. However, it was the schoolboys from Blomfontein who faired better as they executed a superior kicking game.
After leading 8-0 at half-time, Grey Bloem ran in two converted tries for victory. Hosts Grey PE only managed a solitary penalty.
Grey PE 1st XV head coach Rory Duncan conceded that the victors were the better team on the day.
'We both came out wanting to deliver the same tactics, which was a kicking game.' Duncan told Schoolboy Derby. 'But they did it better than us. I think we were strong up front, but their tries came from chips and hacks into spaces, and they finished their opportunities.
'It's a disappointing result, but we still have two games left to play before our season finishes. We need to beat Framesby and Selborne over the next two weeks – that's non-negotiable.'
Grey Bloem have now won 12 of their 15 games this season. Grey PE have won eight of their 12 fixtures.
