The State of Democracy in Europe
As one of Europe's leading public intellectuals, Adam Michnik is uniquely positioned to address the role of intellectuals in democracies and dictatorships. He was a co-founder of KOR (Committee for the Defense of Workers), the organization of dissident intellectuals in Poland that paved the way for the Solidarity trade union in the late 1970s. He spent a total of six years in prison from 1965 to 1986 for his vocal opposition tothe communist regime. Michnik was a participant in the Round Table Talks that eventuated in the end of Communist rule in Poland. In 1989, he was elected to Poland's first noncommunist parliament. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, the largest daily paper in Poland.
Adam Michnik has authored scores of essays, articles and books, including Letters from Prison and Other Essays (1985), Letters from Freedom (1998), and The Church and the Left (1993). He writes frequently for his paper, Gazeta Wyborcza, as well as for such publications as Der Spiegel, Le Monde, New York Review of Books, and Washington Post. Recognized by nations, universities, and foundations for his lifelong struggle for Democracy, he has received many prestigious awards, most recently: Press Freedom Hero, International Press Institute (2000); the Erasmus Prize from the Royal Palace, Amsterdam (2001); Joaquin Garrigues Walker Award from Salvador de Madariaga Foundation, Spain (2001); Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur, France (2003); Dan David Prize, Tel Aviv University (2006); Honorary Senator, University of Ljubljana (2006).
Adam Michnik's lecture is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at CMC and will be given in Polish, and translated by Irena Grudzinska Gross, Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures and Executive Director of the Institute for Human Sciences at Boston University.
Whatever Happened to Hope? Why Barack Obama Cannot Become a Transformational President
Barack Obama entered office as the 44th president with two overriding goals. The first was to reestablish the reputation of government in making ordinary people's lives better, and to reverse the damage done by failed right-wing philosophies. The second was to transcend the ideological divisions that have made American political life in the last few decades such an unpleasant cacophony. Did he bite off more than he - or anyone - could chew? Are the two goals mutually exclusive? This lecture will venture some conclusions.
Rick Perlstein is the author of the New York Times bestseller Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America (2008), one of the ten best non-fiction books of the decade by the AV Club section of the Onion, and of Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus (2001), named the winner of the 2001 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for history and one of the "25 Greatest Gen X Books of All Times."
An independent historian, essayist, and journalist, his writings have been featured in publications including Newsweek, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The New Republican, and the Nation. Called by Politico.com the "chronicler extraordinaire of modern conservatism," who "offers a hint of how interesting the political and intellectual dialogue might be if he could attract some mimics." He lives in Chicago.
From the Chaos, Rules of Success
Everyone knows Google, but most people don't understand what actually makes the company so successful. As Google executive Jonathan Rosenberg will explain in this talk, the search giant's success derives not so much from its great technology as from its culture, which places a high value on transparency, resourcefulness, thinking big, and deciding with data and a low value on titles and org charts. Jonathan will look under the hood at the Google engine and draw from the chaos a set of rigorous management rules that have applications far beyond the world of high-tech. His talk promises to be an excellent primer for all aspiring leaders in the making.
Jonathan Rosenberg is an industry veteran who oversees the teams that manage Google's innovative product portfolio and go-to-market strategies. In this role, Jonathan oversees the design, creation and improvement of all of Google's products, from consumer offerings to publisher and business services. He directs the teams with a special focus on delivering exceptional user experience, continuous innovation, and highly relevant, accountable, and untraditional marketing.
Prior to joining Google in 2002, Jonathan founded, led and managed some of the most innovative product development teams of the Internet's first era. He was the founding member of @Home's product group and served as senior vice president of online products and services after the merger of Excite and @Home. Prior to that, Jonathan managed the eWorld product line for Apple Computer. Earlier, he was director of product marketing for Knight Ridder Information Services in Palo Alto, California, where he directed development of one of the first commercially deployed online relevance ranking engines and menu-driven Boolean search services for consumers.
Jonathan holds an MBA from the University of Chicago and a bachelor's degree with honors in economics from Claremont McKenna College, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa.
Year of the Tiger
Lunar New Year Celebration
The Lunar New Year is a holiday celebrated by various Asian peoples, and is time to bid a fond farewell to the past year, as well as usher in a new, prosperous year. Some believe that the year of a person's birth strongly influences one's personality, success, happiness, and even physical traits.
Like the Western calendar, the Chinese Lunar Calendar is a yearly one, as the start of the lunar year is based on the cycles of the moon. Therefore, because of this cyclical dating, the beginning of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. This year it falls on February 14th. The Lunar Calendar is the longest chronological record in history, dating from 2637 B.C. when the first cycle of the zodiac was introduced. According to legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only twelve animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order that it arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar. Thus, we have the twelve animal signs of today. The animal ruling the year in which one is born exercises a profound influence on one's life. "This is the animal that hides in your heart." 2010 is the Year of the Tiger.
A person born in the Year of the Tiger is brave and courageous and is ready for any challenge. Nothing can tame his adventurous and rebellious spirit. He is a rebel against authority, often championing liberal causes. A supreme optimist, he pursues his goals with fierce intensity. He commands respect from those around him. He is a born leader, and although he suffers from bouts of indiscipline and is obstinate, stubborn, and a hot-head, he often displays overwhelming generosity and draws people with his irresistible magnetism. He is likable through his usually well-mannered behavior and has a vibrant and playful personality. The tiger, to the ancient Chinese, was the king of beasts. The ferocious animal was the first to be the mount of holy personages. Later, the Tiger Lord itself was worshipped-thought to impart protection and virility to adherents.
The evening will include a multiple-course meal, not only tasty but also rife with symbolic meaning. There will be dishes to symbolize health, wealth, and good fortune, and like the decorations, it is because they are homophones with lucky words. For example, fish symbolizes prosperity because the word for fish sounds the same as the word for surplus (or profit) in Chinese. The mustard green, which is known as chang-nian-cai "long-year-vegetable" in some dialects naturally symbolizes longevity.
And wear red if you can. Tradition says that red is a bright, happy color sure to bring the wearer a bright future.

Constitutional Conservatism: A Way Forward for a Troubled Political Coalition
Sorting out their errors and considering their options, conservatives of all stripes would be well advised to concentrate their attention on the constitutional order and the principles that undergird it, because conserving them should be their paramount political priority. A constitutional conservatism puts liberty first, recognizes its dependence on tradition and virtue, and teaches the indispensableness of moderation in securing, preserving, and extending liberty's blessings. A constitutional conservatism derives support from Edmund Burke, the father of modern conservatism, as well as from Adam Smith, Alexis de Tocqueville, and, in his most representative moments, John Stuart Mill - outstanding contributors to the conservative side of the larger liberal tradition. It is at the root in the 1950s of the emergence of a distinctively modern American conservatism. And a constitutional conservatism provides a sturdy framework for developing a distinctive agenda to confront contemporary challenges - an agenda that social conservatives and libertarian conservatives, consistent with their highest hopes, can both embrace.
Peter Berkowitz is the Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. His scholarship focuses on the interplay of law, ethics, and politics in modern society. His current research is concerned with the material and moral preconditions of liberal democracy in America and abroad.
He is cofounder and director of the Israel Program on Constitutional Government, has served as a senior consultant to the President's Council on Bioethics, and is a member of the Policy Advisory Board at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
Berkowitz is the author of Virtue and the Making of Modern Liberalism (Princeton University Press, 1999) and Nietzsche: The Ethics of an Immoralist (Harvard University Press, 1995). He holds a J.D. and a Ph.D. in political science from Yale University; an M.A. in philosophy from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; and a B.A. in English literature from Swarthmore College. Peter Berkowitz'a visit is sponsored by the Henry Salvatori Center for the Study on Individual Freedom in the Modern World at CMC.
Rome and China: New Frontiers in Imperial History
Empires have held an abiding fascination for scholars across disciplines and for an equally wide public audience. Interest in explaining the causes for the rise of empires, notions of center and periphery within imperial societies, the impact of empire on social and political identities and the demise of empires continues to generate a steady flow of scholarship at the level of political, economic, cultural, and even environmental thinking. In the spirit of a comparative approach, the Department of History at CMC will place the ancient empires of Rome and China in dialogue through a colloquium featuring two of the most prominent scholars in the field of imperial history.
Mark Edward Lewis (Department of History, Stanford University), in his paper, "China: From Empire to Nation", will draw from over twenty years of experience researching aspects of political authority and communal identity from periods of imperial China contemporary with the succession of empires in the ancient and medieval Mediterranean. His works include, among many other books and numerous articles, Sanctioned Violence in Early China (1990), Writing and Authority in Early China (2002) and China's Cosmopolitan Empire: The Tang Dynasty (2009). Professor Lewis received his graduate degrees at the University of Chicago and currently holds the Kwoh-Ting Li Chair of Chinese Culture.
Walter Scheidel (Department of Classics, Stanford University) will present "The Rise and Demise of Universal Empire: Rome, Europe and China." Professor Scheidel's research examines a wide range of topics in social and economic history, with particular emphasis on ancient demography, slavery and state formation. His many important works include the recent edited volumes, Rome and China: Comparative Perspectives on Ancient World Empires (2009) and The Dynamics of Ancient Empires: State Power from Assyria to Byzantium (2009 with Ian Morris), and seminal works for the Journal of Roman Studies and the Journal of Roman Archaeology. Professor Scheidel received his graduate degrees at the Universities of Vienna and Graz and currently holds the Dickason Chair of Humanities.
This event has been generously funded by the Athenaeum, the Department of History at CMC and the Luce Fund.
Asian Values and the Future of Democracy in Asia
The global balance of power is shifting toward Asia. While the economic prospects of Asia appear to be bright, the future of democracy in Asia is less certain. Advocates of autocratic rule insist that Asian values are uniquely different from those of the West, and democratic values are not necessarily universal. The observed distinct characteristics of Asian democracies seem to make such arguments persuasive.
Dr. Larry Diamond, one of the leading experts on democracy in the world, will deliver a lecture on Asian values and the future of democracy in Asia at the Athenaeum on March 4. In addition to Senior Fellow, he also directs the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law. He is the founding co-editor of the Journal of Democracy and also serves as Senior Consultant (and previously was co-director) at the International Forum for Democratic Studies of the National Endowment for Democracy. His latest book, The Spirit of Democracy: The Struggle to Build Free Societies Throughout the World (Times Books, 2008), explores the sources of global democratic progress and stress and the prospects for future democratic expansion. At Stanford University, Diamond is also professor by courtesy of political science and sociology. He teaches courses on comparative democratic development and post-conflict democracy building, and advises many Stanford students. He has edited or co-edited some 36 books on democracy, including the recent titles How People View Democracy (2008), How East Asians View Democracy (2010), Latin America's Struggle for Democracy (2008), Political Change in China: Comparisons with Taiwan (2008), and Assessing the Quality of Democracy (2005). Among his other published works are, Developing Democracy: Toward Consolidation (1999), Promoting Democracy in the 1990s (1995), and Class, Ethnicity, and Democracy in Nigeria (1989). He also edited the 1989-90 series Democracy in Developing Countries, with Juan Linz and Seymour Martin Lipset.
Dr. Diamond's visit is made possible by a grant from the Freeman Foundation and sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
What Decision Neuroscience Teaches Us about Financial Decision Making
LUNCH 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Bossaerts received a licentiate and doctorandus degree in applied economics from the University of Antwerp in Belgium. After coursework towards a Master's in statistics at the Free University Brussels, he changed to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he finished his Ph.D. in Management (Finance) under Richard Roll. His first appointment as assistant professor was at Carnegie Mellon University's Graduate School of Industrial Administration. In 1990, Professor Bossaerts moved to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he promoted to become Professor of Finance, and presently the William D. Hacker Professor of Economics and Management. He was also Executive Officer for the Social Sciences and Chair of the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences. Until June 2009, Bossaerts was at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) as Swiss Finance Institute Professor. He continues to run their Laboratory for Decision Making under Uncertainty, on a temporary basis.
While his research and publications have encompassed many areas of theoretical and empirical finance, his present work focuses on experimental finance. This work borrows tools from many relevant fields, such as decision theory, general equilibrium theory, game theory, cognitive psychology, and decision neuroscience. His work has been published in top journals in finance, economics, econometrics, science and neuroscience. Bossaerts has taught undergraduate, MBA, Ph.D. and executive classes at various places across the world. He is or has been on the board of many academic journals, such as the Review of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies, and Mathematical Finance.
Bossaerts will discuss his theories on how financial decision making is the outcome of complex neurophysiological processes involving, among others, constant re-evaluation of the statistics of the problem at hand, balancing of the various emotional aspects, and computation of the very value signals that are at the core of modern economic thinking. The evidence suggests that emotions play a crucial supporting role in the mathematical computations needed for reasoned choice, rather than interfering with it, even if emotions (and their mathematical counterparts) may not always be balanced appropriately. He feels decision neuroscience can be expected in the near future to provide a number of effective tools for improved financial decision making.
Professor Bossaerts' Athenaeum lecture is part of the Financial Economics Institute Speaker Series.

Earlier this year, the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement department received a tip that a New York City woman was living with a large number of dogs. When Agents arrived at the woman's home, they found more than 50 Dachshund adults and puppies.
It was clear the owner needed help, and that the ASPCA's pioneering Cruelty Intervention Advocacy (CIA) program was best suited to assist.
A team of five professionals that includes a social worker and case worker, CIA aims to stop cruelty before it starts. A large part of the team's work is intervening in hoarding situations to assist both the animals and the people involved. CIA's groundbreaking, holistic approach to these complex and sensitive cases both improves the welfare of animals affected and helps prevent hoarders from acquiring more animals.
Participation as a CIA client is voluntary, so it's essential that the team ensure clients feel comfortable asking for assistance. In this case, says CIA Director Allison Cardona, "the owner had reached a point where she was very overwhelmed by continuous litters and wanted help—initially just for spay/neuter—but as we engaged with her and established a relationship, she admitted to being overwhelmed by the number and expressed interest in giving some of the dogs up for adoption."
The client agreed to initially surrender 21 dogs. "Despite her desire to reduce the population, it's still very hard for her to part with the animals, and it's a slow process," Cardona notes.
All 55 dogs received spay/neuter services, wellness checks, vaccinations and other veterinary care as needed from an ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic, the ASPCA Animal Hospital and our partner veterinarians. Some of the adult dogs will receive ongoing behavioral treatment from ASPCA behaviorists. Fourteen of the Doxies surrendered were puppies who headed to the ASPCA Adoption Center to start their new lives. There, they were spayed and neutered, received treatment for infection, and soaked up lots of socialization. Soon after they became available for adoption, of course, the puppies were quickly snapped up by qualified families.
In the coming weeks, the very grateful owner will surrender another wave of dogs, and the CIA program will continue to work with her to ensure the welfare of her animals.
"Our cases stay open for as long as is needed," says Cardona. "We form lasting relationships and continue to check in and provide services beyond the initial intervention."
Stay tuned to the ASPCA blog for more information on this case, including photos of the puppies in their new homes. For now, we hope you enjoy these happy adoption pictures of some of the rescued puppies starting their new lives. We sure did!
To learn more about the complex issue of hoarding, please visit our Hoarding FAQ. To see more adorable adoption photos, check out our special Facebook gallery.
Thank you for this wonderful rescue of dashounds!!! We just lost our "Heidi" last year and still miss her very much. We adopted a Min-Pin mix. However, would love to own another dashound...they make wonderful pets. God Bless all rescuers...we save lives.
I too am so thankful there are organizations like yours out there to help these helpless animals and the people who hoard them. I too am owned by Doxies, at one point we had as many as 6, mostly rescues. I too would be interested in adopting &/or fostering. Thanks again for all you do.
Hi: Anybody interested in a rescued Doxie who I named Chico, please call 6467367437. He's the most adorable short-haired, miniature tyke. The vet estimated Chico to be about six years old.
I would like to thank you for caring for these animals and do consider you all a gift for GOD
Everyone who has expressed an interest in adopting a dachshund from this ASPCA rescue should realize that there are many, many, other dachshunds available for adoption from other dachshund rescue groups around the country. Some of these groups are: Dachshund Rescue of North America (DRNA), Almost Home Dachshund Rescue, Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue, among others. Google any of these to see what dogs they have available and where they are being fostered.It's alarming how many are in need of new homes. Dachshunds are one of the breeds that are most produced by puppy mills and sold at pet stores, and then dumped in shelters or given up by their owners who bought them on impulse and then didn't want them, so please look elsewhere if none are available through ASPCA. I've fostered dachshunds for 5 years and adopted two. If you love this breed you'll be doing them a great service by giving one (or more)of these unfortunate little ones a loving and forever new home.
God bless all of you who work to help find homes for these creatures who so desparately need it, and God bless those of you who gave forever homes to these puppies and dogs!
Loved these photos and the happy endings. They are my family's favorite breed. Had a wonderful long haired Doxie, Jillian for 14 years and now rescued a chi weenie, Maggie. Did all of the puppies get placed? We are in Missouri or we would have tried to help. Thanks!
What a great organization! I'll be donating immediately. Seeing those sweet faces with beaming new families has brought tears to my eyes.
Please let me know if we can still offer a warm loving home i currently have a dashound and thinks its ready for a sibling.

Group for younger breast cancer patients offers refuge

The breast cancer support group for women in their 30s and 40s meets at Providence Regional Cancer Partnership the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Earlier this year, Jen Uhler cofounded a support group for women in their 30s and 40s diagnosed with breast cancer. Uhler was diagnosed in June 2011. The group meets at Providence Regional Cancer Partnership.
Not just a chuckle, but full-bellied, knowing, empathetic laughter.
The group of about 12 women laughed at remembering some of the questions they have been asked: "Do you lose all your hair during chemotherapy?"
They laughed as one member recalled her first glimpse of the wigs available for women to wear during their treatments.
"We made fun of them; they look like Justin Bieber wigs," said Jen Uhler, 42, of Marysville, who helped found the group in June. She was 40 when she found the lump during a self-exam that led to her diagnosis in 2011.
Tracy Larsen, 43, of Lake Stevens, said she tried counseling before coming to the group. "I felt like I was just sitting there talking," she said.
"To another person who didn't get it?" interjected Mikki Premel, 44, of Lake Stevens, triggering another wave of laughter from group members who have experienced similar frustrations.
Yes, they do laugh a lot, group members said, but they also know they can depend on each other.
"One thing about this disease and being diagnosed young is you have this instinctual need to help someone else," said Libby Hagen, of Snohomish, who was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago when she was 39.
"All of us know it's not a joke," Hagen said. It's important for women to see other women who have been through treatment have a sense of humor, but "can talk about the fact that we've gotten hysterical and broken down and survived," she said. "It does get better."
Uhler, who works at the Providence's Comprehensive Breast Center in Everett, saw the need for a support group specifically for younger breast cancer patients.
"I would tell them I knew what they were going through," Uhler said. Sometimes she would meet them for coffee.
No support groups for breast cancer patients in their 30s and 40s existed in Snohomish County. This meant Jeanna Petzoldt, 42, of Marysville, was traveling with women from Snohomish and Arlington to a group in Seattle until June, when one in Everett was launched.
"You realize how many younger women there are going through the same thing you're going through," Petzoldt said.
The group discusses just about everything a woman can face as she is treated for breast cancer: mastectomies and reconstructive surgery, the side effects of chemotherapy, handling relationships with kids and spouses, and the fear of a recurrence.
"You get the fear every time you get a headache or pain," Hagen said. "Nobody understands that fear, that terror, except someone who's gone through cancer."
Larsen was diagnosed in July 2011 with cancer in her left breast. She struggled with whether to have surgery to remove both breasts or only her left breast, before opting for a double mastectomy.
She was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. She felt strong enough to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk for breast cancer in September 2012. But during the walk she was plagued with back pain.
In January, she was sent to the hospital for a medical scan that showed her breast cancer had metastasized. A tumor was wedged between two vertebrae in her spine.
"They weren't sure if they could get it out, if I would be paralyzed by the surgery, or if I would come out of the surgery at all," she said.
Now, 10 months after her surgery, Larsen said she has progressed well beyond what her surgeons had predicted. "I am walking and active," she said.
The group has offered her an emotional release that she said she couldn't get elsewhere. "It's comfortable," Larsen said. "We can laugh about the experiences because we've all been through it.
"Our hair falls out. We get sick. There's things we can't eat. None of us are sitting there saying, 'I don't understand what she's talking about.'
"It's an interesting dynamic how someone can walk into the group, even on that first night, and just feel like I can tell these guys whatever is going through my mind. Someone in this room will understand what I'm feeling, because they've felt it, too."

A support group for young breast cancer patients and survivors meets from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership, 1717 13th St. in Everett. For information, call Dawn Dixon at 425-297-5521.

Justin Bieber Gossip
Justin Bieber gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
An angel and the shower
Jason Merritt/ Kevin Mazur /AMA2014 / Lester Cohen/ Michael Tran/ Getty Images
On the subject of perspective… I've written about it so many times, what heartbreak is like at that age – so singular and isolating, so…narcissistic. You don't think anyone has ever hurt the way you hurt. You think you INVENTED hurt. Despite what she posted on Instagram from backstage at rehearsal, about wanting people to relate, really, this kind of pain is an emotional cave that was created for only one inhabitant at a time. Full Story
Selena Gomez: what her heart wants, or wanted
Have you watched Selena Gomez's new video for The Heart Wants What It Wants yet? It was just released this morning. The song is OK. It's the video that really makes it…something. But first, let's talk about this expression, "the heart wants what it wants". She's not the first person who's ever said it. Full Story
A month is more than expected
BJJ /Vasquez /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES, Splash News
Selena Gomez returned to LA yesterday after a couple of days in Paris. Looks like she got right on the plane after the Louis Vuitton show because she's wearing the same top she was photographed in at the event. Justin Bieber was also in Paris. He was seen with one of those younger Kardashian sisters and supposedly that was a source of conflict. Full Story
Like Bieber, like Leo
AKM-GSI /Splash
Justin Bieber partied in Cannes this year. One night, at a club, he took the mic and dropped a few verses. Because, you know, in his head, he's a badass. Here's the video. Are you impressed? Is that the kind of cool you want to be around? You know who else was there that night? At the same club? Leonardo DiCaprio. Full Story
Like Bieber, like Timberlake?
I read the best story on Dlisted (original source uproxx) yesterday. You remember Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd? And one of the best episodes was when Ashton played Justin Timberlake? JT came home to find government employees taking over his home because he hadn't paid his taxes. Full Story
You boo, he takes his clothes off
Theo Wargo/ Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
Oh Brooklyn. You gave him a reason. I mean, he never really needs a reason. But now he's just made it his thing. So Justin Bieber was at Fashion Rocks last night. As he stepped on stage to present with model Lara Stone, the crowd started hissing. In response, he took his shirt and pants off, then did a few lunges in his underpants. Full Story
Drama anywhere, any time
O'Neill/ Todd G/ PacificCoastNews
This is why I keep comparing Justin Bieber to Lindsay Lohan. Because it's ALWAYS something. It's always chaos. There's always drama. And it's never their fault. JB went home to Stratford, ON for Labour Day long weekend. He had Selena Gomez with him. They spent time with the family. Full Story
Selena & JB: long weekend in Canada
No doubt about it now. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are back together. It's been two weeks. By their standards, that's like 6 months. The two were photographed getting off a private jet two days ago in Canada. So I guess JB is spending the long weekend at home. For her, it's a risky decision. Full Story
These two. Again.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were seen at a movie theatre earlier this week. Then, last night, he posted this photo on Instagram after they went to Bible class together: And the caption: "Right now, everything else is a blur. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Some dude in Russia was fishing the other day when he came upon a bear. Just as the bear was about to attack him, his cellphone went off…playing Justin Bieber's Baby. At which point, the bear ran away. So the wildlife isn't down with JB's music. But I still find this less embarrassing than what's become of Orlando Bloom.
Staying with JB though, his Instagram, as you know, has become a display of shirtlessness, perhaps related to his supposed deal with Calvin Klein. The shot he posted yesterday, however, did not include any underwear. Click here for a refresher. Read Full Intro
Style slide
Nicola Formichetti left Lady Gaga and it's been a mess. Her style has been a mess. Justin Bieber left Selena Gomez, or she left him, whatever, and her style lately...? Not so good. When she tries, especially, not good at all. Look at this. The point is that she thinks she's doing something interesting here. Full Story
Justin Bieber from behind
This is my favourite thing that happened today. Maybe my favourite thing that will happen all week. That's what Justin Bieber posted on Instagram a couple of hours ago. Now shake off your old lady for a minute. Try. Try to not be old. Instead, you're 20. And this is stepping up to you from behind. Full Story
So what you're saying is he's a loser
Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci celebrated his 40th birthday the other night in Ibiza. Justin Bieber was there. And when he found out Orlando Bloom was on the way, he had his people tell event organisers to turn him away. Orly ended up leaving. Full Story
Famous people are f-cked up in a way we'll never understand or relate to. There are exceptions though. Imagine you're in an on-off toxic situation with a young pop star. You grew up in the business yourself. You had to support your family. Your value system is warped by Hollywood and, ostensibly, social media. Full Story

I've recently converted to Atheism from mainstream Christianity after reading books by Dawkins, Harris, Dennet, and others. My best friend, still a Christian, agreed to read along with me. After reading 'A Letter to a Christian Nation', he spent a month or two writing a very long paper on the book. I've uploaded the paper to the following url:

"Prayers increased as news and updates trickled through all the avenues, people sat by their computers and slept with their phones waiting to hear anything," Cooke said in an email to The Star. "Then came the news at 5 a.m. that the surgery was over, the lungs were working, and she was stable. Tears flowed everywhere. It was a true miracle. God had given Jackie a miracle not in her time, not in her family's time, her pastor's or anyone else's, but His time, and it was right on time, the perfect time."

Fat: No More Fear, No More Contempt. Part II
While it is clear that humans populated almost all areas of the planet, it is rare to find even land-locked cultures where fish was not consumed. Humans preferentially settled by oceans, lakes and rivers, and not much has changed to this day in our settlement patterns. There is a good chance we have the fabulous brains that we do because we hung out by rivers and oceans and ate pretty much anything that moved around in those waters. So whether our ancestors were aquatic apes, river apes, or shore-dwelling apes, we found a ready supply of what our brains needed in the water. Had human populations on the planet remained at 950 million or so, then our brains' love of seafood, lakefood and riverfood would not likely have outstripped supply.

The other night I was sitting at Le Garde Robe, minding my own business, trying to get down a glass of natural wine. Being seven o'clock, naturally, in addition to being thirsty, I was starving, too.
And the lack of food (and sulfides) must have started affecting my brain because I started thinking about how I often hear tales from visitors, such as when they told a Parisian waiter they didn't eat meat and shortly afterward, were presented with a plate of lamb. Or they ordered a salad, that was supposed to come with the sandwich, and was actually just a single leaf of lettuce. Hoo-boy, and yes, I've made a few gaffes of my own, too: I once ordered a glass of Lillet (pronounced le lait, which isn't well-known around Paris) and the perplexed café waiter brought me out a long, slender glass of le lait (milk), presented with great panache, on a silver dish with a nice doily. Of course, everyone was staring at the grown man who ordered a tall glass of milk. And I don't think it was because of the starched doily.
Anyhow, I was scanning the chalkboard at Le Garde Robe, looking at the various charcuterie and cheese on offer, and noticed filet mignon, and thought, "A steak is a funny thing for a wine bar to serve, especially one that doesn't serve hot food." Until I remembered what it is in French. And if everyone wasn't already staring at the idiot at the wine bar, nursing a stemmed glass of milk, I would've kicked myself for thinking that's a big, juicy steak. Which it's not, in France.
1. Mixing Up the Mignons
Mignon in French means "cute". And to my pork-loving friends and readers, that can only mean one thing: pigs. French people think cows are attractive.

How are you? You seem to have a lot of knowlege about the records from Casteltermini, I was hoping you could help me out, I have hit a wall!
My finacee's grandmother was Concetta Denti born December 5, 1914 in Casteltermini to Giuseppe Vincenzo Gaspare Denti & Giuseppa Picilli.
I found Giuseppe Vincenzo Gaspare Denti's birth record on May 17, 1892 in Casteltermini, and discovered his parents were Gennaro Denti and Concetta Mazzarella. I have found what I believe are all his siblings. It appeats that all the Denti's that i can find are connected to this family.
I can not find anything on Giuseppa Picilli. She died in 1918, which prompted her husband to come to the US with his daughter a few years behind.
They would have married prior to 1914, as Concetta was thier only child. I would imagine that Giuseppa would have been born after 1892 but before 1900 to marry and have a child by 1914, but I can't seem to find her!
Any help would be appreciated!

Antonina Termini Lomanto died 15 February 1941 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, and is buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery with her brother, Cruciano Termini! The discoveries never end!
Antonina immigrated to the United States in 1914 and went to Oakmont, WV. She came with her daughter Rosa Lamonto who was born about 1896 --- I'm sure she was born in Casteltermini. Antonina was shown as widowed on her 1914 immigration manifest.

I can't believe all this information you've found! You're amazing!
I have Vincenzo Termini and Maria Carmela Ballone had 4 kids so far:
Philomena Termini Ferlisi (1856-1935)
Antonina Termini LoManto (1861-1941)
Salvatore Termini (circa 1863-____)
Cruciano Termini (1874-1950).
Not sure if there were others yet, but my guess would be that there were others. Vincenzo and Maria Carmela Ballone Termini were referenced as still living in Casteltermini on 30 March 1900 when Philomena finally married Giovanni Ferlisi. Is there a way you might be able to find when they died? I can't remember if you looked before. I'm assuming they were born roughly no later than 1836, but possibly sooner.
Have a great day!

A Video Tour of the New Hospital
Streaming Video (Windows Media)
Dec. 14, 2007 (St. Petersburg, FL) What has enough concrete to build a sidewalk from St. Petersburg to Daytona Beach and enough data cable to stretch to Atlanta? It's the new All Children's Hospital - the largest commercial construction project in the state - which reached a major milestone this week.
On Friday, December 14th, All Children's staff, friends and patients' families gathered on the roof of its newest parking garage to celebrate the new hospital's Topping Out. This tradition calls for a tree to be placed atop the finished exterior when its highest beam is set, as a sign of celebration and an omen of good fortune. The parking lot roof provided an excellent vantage point of the now nine-story external structure that will become the new hospital.
"Standing here with views of the campus all around us makes you reflect on the hard work of those who went before us," said Gary Carnes, President & CEO of All Children's Health System. "They assembled the acreage and provided the opportunity for us to be able to build this hospital. All those years of hard work by the boards, staff, physicians and community philanthropy have paid off with a new hospital that will be – not only a showplace – but most importantly a great healing environment for the patients and families we serve."
The $400-million construction project (new hospital, medical office building, parking garage and central energy plant) was begun in 2005 and is slated for completion in late 2009. The hospital's 775,000 square feet will house 240 patient beds and state of the art facilities to diagnose and treat all manner of pediatric health problems.
Following remarks from Congressman C.W. Bill Young and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker, a blessing was offered by the Rev. Dave Gerber, All Children's Hospital Chaplain. Atop the new hospital, lights blinked on the tree as the prayer concluded with a plea for continued construction safety and the blessing of the new hospital's healing mission. Then patients and their siblings joined Tampa Bay Lightning star Vinny Lecavalier in waving celebratory flags to signal the unfurling of a giant banner on the side of the new hospital. Lecavalier was one of several major donors in attendance at the ceremony. His recent $3-million commitment to the new hospital construction will underwrite the Vinny Lecavalier Center for Pediatric Cancer & Blood Disorders on the new hospital's seventh floor.
The new All Children's Hospital is the LARGEST commercial construction project in the state of Florida. HOW LARGE???

Should their be a punishment for domain squatting?
I'm aware that there are quite a few other threads of domain squatting, but I wanted to put it to a poll.
I don't think any of us like domain squatting, but how do you think squatters should be stopped? For example, I wanted jailbreaktime.com for my website, but the guy who was squatting the domain wanted around $7000 for it! Therefore I had to settle with jailbreakzeit.com (zeit being the German word for time). Have a look at jailbreaktime.com there's nothing there. This is sort of like internet pollution.
As web_god61 said, "What pisses me off, 99% are just domain squatters. Then, 0.5% are websites that haven't been updated since 1985 and the other 0.5% are actual sites." on this post.
If you have any other methods of prevention just post your reply below.

Why should there be punishment? They purchased the right to that name, with no commitment to what they would do with it. They've not broken any laws or contracts by spending money to hold what others may want in the future.

I think it would be hard to really define "squatting."
In your situation, I'm sure it's irritating, but it's a real guy and he bought it so it's his.
But I really hate the spammy squatting types, where you go to a domain and it says "[Domain.com]: Everything you need, when you need it!" and a bunch of spammy links to make money.

Imagine this, there's a relatively new town, and some billionaire comes and buys all the houses and land there. This means that families can't get a house anywhere and they have to resort to moving 100s of miles away from the place they were brought up in. Imagine if that billionaire bought every single house and piece of land in a 1000km radius, or even bought every new house and piece of land in America, and did nothing with it.
Surely something would have to be done about this?
Oh and I just realised that I used 'their' in the thread's title,instead of 'there'. Sorry.

1) A "relatively new" town won't have people who grew up there, as that would make it an old town... but that is just a quibble...
2) More importantly... The land in a town is already owned by somebody (as opposed to unclaimed domain names). People who owned land in the town would only have to move ... if they agreed to sell their land to the billionaire. If they didn't sell they wouldn't have to move.
Your analogy works more like this... to my way of thinking.
A couple of centuries ago (more or less, in North America) a group of people arrived and claimed land that they decided was unoccupied (leaving aside the whole issue of Aboriginal Title). They either just claimed what they wanted, or they paid a low flat fee to a territorial government to claim a "stake". It was those 1st settlers who are analogous to today's domain name situation. Some land/domain-names were/are put to immediate use. Other land/domain-names are held for their future increase in value. It is these speculators who have tried to figure out which land/domain-names would be valuable one day.
Regarding our settlers - some got lucky ... Any land preempted from the First Nations near a present city, or land that was on the eventual railway lines, or on a coal seam, or etc etc. Some didn't get lucky .... land in the desert that ended up not being near a railway, or example.
All subsequent owners of that land have benefitted - or not - based on whether these original claimants to the land made a good/lucky choice, or not.
At least in this case there are no Aboriginal Land Issues to be resolved... it truly is unclaimed territory. At least as far as we know of....

But I don't think that land and domains are easily comparable, because domains are literally dirt cheap. These people buy thousands of domains and do absolutely nothing with them. It's as if these new settlers in your analogy bought all of the land within a 100km radius of any water, and so people were banished to wasteland, and these new settlers did nothing with the land they bought.
When these people in the wasteland wanted to move near water so that they could efficiently grow crops, and not pay a premium for transferring drinking water to them (liken water to traffic), these settlers charged them outrageous prices, which only the richest could afford.
Furthermore, these rich settlers kept on buying any land near any new stream of water that sprouted up, and so the only options were for people to try and build expensive irrigation systems and try and make their way in the wasteland, or to pay extensive amounts of their currency to live a better life.
Wouldn't it just be better if these rich settlers (the squatters) just stopped what they did and let everyone live happily ever after?

Keep in mind that if someone is squatting on a trademark you own, there are ways in which to force them to vacate and take the name over. Corporations do this all the time...
Your complaint seems to be over domain names that neither you or the "squatter" have previous legal claim over... so it is first come, first served... and I completely understand the anger that comes from not getting their first.
But, imagine if the roles were reversed? How does one define a squatter? How much rights would you want others to have to make claims over domains they don't control? Could I define you as a squatter if you were in the way of my business interests?
Imagine if I owned a large company with millions in revenue and I could prove a dubious interest in the domain name jailbreakzeit.com. What should you have to do, legally, to show that the domain is truly in use? Prove you make money from the domain? How much? Show how much traffic the site gets? and how much?
Most parked domains have some content and traffic.
if I could prove to the internet naming bodies that my site would get more traffic and more revenue, should I be able to take it from you? Would this have to be decided on a case-by-case basis?
While it may seem like extortion to pay $7,000 for a domain, forcing people to invest in names makes sure that the domains are well used and valued.
|Jun 4, 2012, 12:31 PM
The colonial/territorial governments took something (land) that had not been paid for, in essence if not in technically absolutely true, and sold it to anybody who wanted it. Just like domain names. In those days there was a lot of angst about speculators too. But now, the system has settled out and we are heirs to it.
I am not saying that domain names need to be handled the same way, I am just saying your village analogy was not the best argument. In fact in many places settled/colonized a person had to show a certain degree of "improvement" to the land by a certain date, or they would forfeit it back to the government. Or they could pay extra to keep the land. I don't know how you would translate that to domain names though. It would be simple, I would think, to automate a system that merely checked for a webpage at a URL.... but how do you go beyond that? How do you judge whether a webpage is a placeholder or something that "improves" the webpage? Consider how many domain names are being registered every day. How does one judge what is truly a useful page, and what is merely a placeholder. I would find it trivial to create a place holder site. I myself have several domain names that I hold in reserve. Not with the intent of selling them, but because I have projects that I haven't had time to start, but I want to keep a good web site name for. Am I squatting? Or just too busy?
I do disagree with the term "wasteland" since in most places there was an indigenous society that was supporting itself there. And I don't want to get this pushed into PRSI by delving into this... so I am trying to just keep the terminology neutral.

I suppose if I buy a piece of property on a lake somewhere and never use it and someone else decides they want it to build a house there I should have my property taken away.
If someone buys a domain and don't do anything with it, yeah it probably sucks for someone who has plans for it but too bad. Maybe the owner is planning something an waiting on patents or something to come through. Maybe they use it for personal email addresses. I have 4 domains and only use 2 of them. The domains I wanted are being sold for crazy prices. (too bad I was slow in the game).

I think the criteria could be along the lines of making sure that the domain is actually being used. In my opinion, this is mostly obvious. For example, the jailbreaktime.com domain I previously mentioned has absolutely nothing on it. It's just there, doing nothing.
Traffic and money making are by no means the criteria that I would personally pick, but how about looking into the domain, and making sure the content has been updated in at least 5 or so years, and making sure there is some content there in the first place.
Also treat the .com, .co.uk, .org's etc. as different countries. These domain squatters are ruthless and buy all the useful domains, in all of the countries. Will there come a time where no one can make any domain under 8 characters (which isn't gibberish) because they're all taken up by squatters?

I'm not very clued up on my American history, but I think that's great. The system in which they make sure that the land saw a certain amount of improvement should be transported over to domains!
Sure, but shouldn't there be a limit to how long you can reserve these domains for projects? Or maybe even make selling domains inconvenient so that people like you can still reserve their chosen domain, but can't sell it?
Also, say if one of the domains you own is ericrwalker.com, it's unlikely that anyone else would want this (apart from as use in their own personal email) but you got it first. People like you would be safe, it'd just be people who bulk buy 'fertile' domains for the sole purpose of extorting money off people later.
At the end of the day, this might not be a huge problem today, especially for the older people who jumped onto the internet game straight away, but it's only going to get worse, and I think something needs to be done.

I see that Apple purchased the domain name iphone5.com but they're not using it. It's a dead site, no content, no revenue. I think I'd like to have it.

I think its important that people be invested in these domains... if this was too easy to do then you would simply have "squatters" taking sites from other squatters over and over... and if you did have a valuable name, all you would have to do is make the site look busy.
I have done a few campaigns where we had to wrestle trademarked domains out of the hands of squatters and things get hairy internationally. There are lots of different registrars and trademark laws. We essentially hired a law firm with branches in several countries. But essentially each one must be done on a case-by-case basis.
So, I am not in disagreement with you, the process sucks, but I generally feel that if you own a trademark, you have legal recourse to get the domain you want... if you don't own a trademark, you are basically looking for a vanity plate for your personal website and I don't see the problem with people having to pay extra for that... it is a luxury...

Should the cost be borne by the defender of the domain name, or the person bringing the appeal? In either case, it favours the large companies over the individual.
Before you got to that point, you would need to write the rules and guidelines. OK, start with the 5 year rule. How much of a change is necessary to start the clock again? One word? If you say "No", it needs to be more substantive - I would counter that I am poet, and my contribution to the improvement of society is a Haiku. And that changing just one word in that Haiku is the same as changing several pages on a photo site. Writing a regulation to handle that would be a challenge, I dare say. If the criteria was that at least one word needs to be changed every 5 years, how do you tell? Do you look at file dates? Assuming ICANN could resolve the privacy issues of having to get access to the FTP directories, how do you tell if the domain was changed or just re-uploaded? Regardless, there would be a slew of $2 apps that would simply randomly change a few words every so often. And probably a bunch of free apps released from the open source foundations.
I'm not disagreeing with your basic premise...that domain squatting should be somehow controlled. But I don't see any realistic way of doing so without either making it hugely expensive to register a domain, which puts it out of reach of the average person, or creating a huge administrative overhead to manage the system.
In your particular case, it would have been stupidly easy and cheap for the current domain owner to make it look like a site was there, had they needed to. Paying a few dollars a year to change a site is still worth the money if there is a potential $7000 pay back.
Anyway... good luck with your quest....
I should warn you I am married to a policy analyst, and I love dissecting policy with them ... I can go on like this for days!

Maybe someone else wanted iPhone5 to express their love of the iPhone, or maybe they wanted to put porn on the site and use the most commonly searched term to trick people into their site.
Either way, no worries Apple has it.
I would like iphone5.com to start an iPhone blog though.

Economic incentives required
I agree with the various posts that it is quite difficult to come up with a policy for squatting. So, it seems to me that the way to force someone to relinquish a domain name, is as it is now, namely the offer of money. Instead of being offered money, one could take more money from the domain owner.
I haven't really thought this through, but I think the 'renewal' price and the 'first claim' price may have to be adjusted differently. So consider a 'renewal' which always increases faster than the registration price. If it costs $10 to buy a brand-new domain (including one that has already been abandoned), then the first year renewal might cost $11. In the second year, the renewal might cost $12.10 (or whatever 10% compounding would be). There could be a cap that limits the compounded renewal fee to a fixed multiple of the current registration price. Basically, you provide an economic incentive to 'improve' the domain so that it will make enough money to cover the increased renewal fees as the years go by. Some 'squatters' (especially if they hold a lot of domains), will likely let go of the domains they deem to be unlikely to be sold.
I'm not well-versed in transferring domains among registrars, but undoubtedly there would need to be some rules for transfer that require the renewal age to follow. One could transfer to a lower registration price registrar which leads to a lower renewal fee.
Unfortunately, the above proposed 'cure' might be worse overall for most of us. To inflict sufficient economic punishment on the 'squatter' will probably mean the rest of us are paying very high renewal fees.
So another way would be to increase registration fees for the number of domains per registrar. Meaning, the first domain at a registrar costs the base fee, the second domain at the same registrar costs more, etc. Obviously, one can spread domains across multiple registrars. With this system, I suspect the 'gaming' will come from lots of registrars being created. One may have to 'auction' the rights to be a registrar to limit their number, but that would tend to raise fees for everyone to cover the cost of becoming a registrar.
Anyway, I'm sure that practically any system with rules can be gamed somehow. It's just a matter of picking one that people are satisfied with and so far people are satisfied with the current one that allows 'squatting'.

As I pulled into my garage tonight the dash display read "Brake Failure - Workshop" just as I parked it. I turned the car back on and it displayed it again just as I put it in gear. The breaks did indeed not work. Is it from snow? Cold weather? Do I really need to get it serviced?
I'll try to let it warm up in the garage for a few hours and try again.

If you have no brakes, it is time for a call to the dealer..Do not drive until it is repaired.
Yes but do not drive it have it towed as you do not want to cause a crash or get yourself killed. Or have someone come to your place to get it fixed, but never drive with no brakes. Be safe first always!
Yup, called Mercedes Roadside assistance. They sent out a tow truck and took it to the dealer last night. The message was Brake Malfunction - Workshop, not Brake Failure.
what is the difference between brake malfunction and brake failure
A word. Makes a big difference when searching Google to get an answer. The dealer has had a day and doesn't know what is wrong.
The dealer has had the vehicle in the shop for three full days and they are clueless as to what is wrong. According to the service lady the technicians have pulled out over half the wiring to locate the short and have found nothing. I pick up a loaner on Saturday. I hope it is a nice Mercedes :)
If you have good insurance, crash it into a big tree...You will get a new one, and the crash won't hurt you......
On the sixth day I got the car back. Apparently two months ago when "someone" spilled iced coffee on the passenger floor it went through the carpet and began to corrode the fuses. Once the technician replaced the fuses and cleaned out the fuse holder it was all good. I am so happy because the Smart 5 speed they loaned me was horrible. The stock transmission is the worst thing I ever drove. In order to keep it from lurching I had to use the paddle shifters all the time.
Might have aided their troubleshooting to have mentioned the coffee spill up front. smarts in general, being computers on wheels, don't handle spilled liquids very well.

Did you get billed for the repair? My new Smart ED has exactly the same problem. Brake Malfunktion. The technician found the problem right away - the wet fuse box under the passenger carpet. The problem is we never spilled anything there. It took a while to find out that at some point some water was spilled in the trunk with no visible signs - besides a couple of drops on the carpet. All the water ran inside the car down to the fuse box under the passenger mat and the problem occured way later when the fuses corroded. Our Smart is now already for 7 days at the dealership and we are told it might be another week before the parts arrive from Germany. We were also told that this is potentially a very expensive repair. I can not believe that.
What happend in your case? This looks like a serious design flaw to me. There is no warning in the handbook from the manufacturer, there are no warnings from the dealer. Basically if you spill any fluid anywhere in the car - even the trunk - you need to have the fluid removed right away from the lowest point (at the fuse box) or you will run into this problem and get potentially an expensive bill.
In my case the dealership told me that they wrote it up in such a way that would get them paid by Smart and they charged me nothing.
Thanks for your reply. My dealer just informed me after 10 days that the car is now repaired and it will cost me $441.43. I'm completely stumped by this. This seems to be a serious design flaw. I almost had an accident with another car when I got the BRAKE MALFUNCTION warning because my Smart ED was indeed not braking. Every Smart ED owner needs to know about this problem. If anyone spills any fluid anywhere in the car your brakes will most likely at one point not work. When some water was spilled in our trunk we were not aware that the water ran inside the car under the carpet down to the fuse box. It looked like the water had dripped out of the tail gate while driving. Who could have known this? There is no information, no warning from MB about this problem. My dealer makes it sound like our fault and wants to be paid over $400 and we are not sure how safe it is to continue driving this car.

Archaeology is the study of the artifacts and other material remains of past human societies. Through this study the characteristics of past human technologies are revealed, as well as the time periods at which they existed. The archaeology program will focus on past cultures in two parts of the world: the North American Plains, and the Near East and adjacent Mediterranean regions. The application of natural science methodologies in the analysis of archaeological materials is an important part of archaeological research. For this reason, the Department offers both B.A. and B.Sc. programs. Students who plan to major in archaeology should consult the Head of the Department or the Undergraduate Advisor concerning their choice of courses.
Anthropology is the comprehensive study of human beings, past and present, in comparative, cross-cultural and holistic light. The Anthropology program at the University of Saskatchewan offers training that emphasizes the role of culture in human behaviour, and that exposes students to human evolutionary, environmental and language development and adaptation. The program demonstrates particular expertise in medical, environmental and applied anthropology, emphasizing Indigenous studies, globalization, the anthropology of gender, and psychological anthropology, with active research programs in local, international, urban, and Institutional contexts.

RALEIGH— Many times, pregame comments and analysis are nothing more than posturing by coaches and players. They say nice things about each other to avoid bulletin board material. Strategies that are revealed are usually aimed at subterfuge or a means to give the other team something extra to think about and prepare for.
Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference football game between visiting Wake Forest and North Carolina State at Carter-Finley Stadium actually featured some of the keys that were mentioned in comments leading to the game.
N.C.Statecoach Tom O'Brien wanted to see some fight and fire in his team after back-to-back losses. Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe was wary of facing a wounded team, noting that when teams stumble they sometimes come back to play a good game. Both coaches worried about their anemic running games.
O'Brien liked the way his team rose to the challenge against Wake Forest, winning 37-6 with a dominating first quarter, an on-fire offense and a smothering defense.
The Wolfpack (6-4 overall, 3-3 ACC) became bowl eligible with the outcome.
"We were at a crossroads coming into this game," O'Brien said of coming off last week's devastating loss to Virginia. "After the pregame meal, I asked the team which road they wanted to take — the road to a bowl game or not to a bowl game. Now we are bowl eligible.
"We had no fire or passion against Virginia. It has to come from the players. The coaches can help, but it has to come from the players, and they did it (this game). The goal was to get off to a fast start."
Wake Forest (5-5, 3-5) never got untracked offensively. It failed to advance past its 40-yard line in the first quarter and managed 56 yards of total offense on 20 plays as it fell behind 17-0. The Demon Deacons
finished the contest with 185 yards of total offense — 16 rushing and 169 passing.
"We certainly had some issues up front running and throwing the ball," Grobe said. "(Quarterback) Tanner (Price) didn't play well. It's not fair, but Tanner can't play average. If he plays average, we can't win. We struggled to get off (N.C. State's) coverage and to protect long enough for Tanner to get a chance to find someone downfield."
N.C.Statescored first when safety Brandan Bishop snatched the ball out of mid-air after it deflected off the hands of Brandon Terry. Two plays later, N.C. State's Tony Creecy bulled over from the 1-yard line for a 7-0 lead.
The Wolfpack increased the margin to 10-0 with 5:54 left in the first quarter when Niklas Sade kicked a 38-yard field goal.
N.C.Stateadded to the total late in the first quarter on a nine-play 60-yard drive capped by Glennon's 5-yard touchdown pass to fullback Logan Winkles. It gave the Wolfpack a 17-0 advantage with 37 seconds remaining in the opening stanza.
Statistics explain the story of N.C. State's first-quarter dominance. The Wolfpack had an 11-3 edge in first downs, 61-7 advantage in rushing and a 112-49 margin in passing. N.C. State amassed 173 yards of total offense in the opening stanza.
"Our point of emphasis was to get off to a fast start, play with energy and set to the tone from the beginning," Glennon said. "I felt it in the locker room that guys were ready to play."
Glennon completed 25 of 41 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns. He threw one interception.
The Wolfpack's passing attack was balanced by the team's 170 rushing yards. Freshman Shadrach Thornton rushed for 112 yards. It was the second time he has exceeded 100 yards.
WakeForestposed no running threat, it rushed for 16 yards. The season-long lack of a running game led Demon Deacons receiver Mike Campanaro to say prior to the game that his team might revert to some trickery.
That happened when Price threw to Campanaro on swing pass and the senior pulled up and fired a 39-yard touchdown toss to Terence Davis. The score came with 10:30 to play before halftime and pulled the Demon Deacons within 17-6 as the extra-point kick failed.
Campanaro caught 16 passes a week earlier in a victory against Boston College. He had five receptions for 14 yards against the Wolfpack. His longest gainer was 6 yards.
"We knew he was a key player and that we needed to shut him down," N.C. State defensive end Art Norman said.
N.C.Statecontinued its dominance in the second half. Tobias Palmer returned the second-half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. Glennon connected on a 26-yard touchdown toss to Asa Watson and Sade booted a 49-yard field goal for a 34-6 cushion at the end of the third quarter.
Sade's 35-yard field goal to open the final quarter accounted for the game's final points.
"The captains said we always start off slow in the second half and I had to step up for my team," Palmer said. "The whole game, we felt like big plays were going to come and they did."
Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons continued to struggle. They went three-and out on numerous occasions and let the Wolfpack down a punt at the 2 with 3:52 left in the third quarter. Brendan Cross replaced Price to start the ensuing series.
"We came out and executed the defense and tackled," N.C. State linebacker Rickey Dowdy said. "We're never going to give up. That's our motto. We're always going to keep fighting."
-- EXTRA POINTS …: Palmer's 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the second half tied the N.C. State record for longest return with T.J. Graham, whose came in 2008 … Sade tied his career-high with three field goals … Watson caught his first career touchdown pass when he hauled in the 26-yarder from Glennon … Entering the game, Glennon is the only quarterback in the ACC to have accounted for all his team's passing yards this season. He's just one of four in the BCS to accomplish such a feat ... N.C. State has played Wake Forest more than any other team. Saturday's game marked the 106th meeting between the two teams, with the Wolfpack holding a 63-37-6 edge … Former Williams High School running back Milton Hall entered the game for the Wolfpack with less than two minutes remaining. He gained nine yards on two carries.

NEW ORLEANS Police are asking for the public's help in locating three men who kidnapped, raped and robbed a woman in the Garden District Monday evening, according to the New Orleans Police Department.
Around 6:45 p.m., a 30-year-old was exiting her car in the 1200 block of Eighth Street.
She was approached by two men, one of which was armed with a gun, and was forced into a waiting vehicle that was driven by a third man, police said.
The men robbed and sexually assaulted the woman as they drove around, according to the NOPD.
After the suspects drove back to the 1200 block of Eighth Street, they took the victim's car keys and stole her 1999 silver, four-door Honda Accord bearing Louisiana license plate OUZ 831.
The men drove off with both cars and forced the woman out of the car at Chestnut and Eighth streets.
The suspects are described as black in and in their early to late 20s. The victim was unable to describe their car.
The woman was treated and released from the hospital for bruises, scratches and abrasions, police said.
Citizens with information are asked to call Crimestoppers at 822-1111.
