MARK KEOHANE, in his Business Day column, writes the Kings Chariot can't be chased away before midnight and turned back into a pumpkin.
Joel Stransky's 1995 World Cup-winning drop goal will forever be the most famous, as it won South Africa the World Cup, but the most significant in a unified South African Rugby structure belongs to Southern Kings flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis, whose injury time drop goal ensured an historic first overseas Super Rugby win for the tournament's newest franchise.
Catrakilis kicked a left and right-footed drop goal to inspire Western Province to victory in the 2012 Currie Cup final against the Sharks in Durban, but Saturday's three pointer represented a victory on a level far greater than just winning a rugby match.
South African rugby has long needed to accommodate the Eastern Cape as a regional Super Rugby franchise, but those opposed to change have always promoted the belief that the franchise would be an embarrassment to South African Rugby and that a team from within the Eastern Cape would be the whipping boys of the tournament.
The argument has never had substance because using that rationale no South African side should be playing in the competition. The Sharks conceded 70-plus points in Christchurch, the Stormers lost 74-28 to the Blues in 1998, the Cats lost 64-0 in Canberra, the Bulls lost 73-9 in Sydney, the Lions often took 50-point plus beatings and so too did the Cheetahs. If you want to talk about embarrassments then take a look through the results archive of Super Rugby since 1996. The Bulls won one match in 22 in Heyneke Meyer's first stint as head coach and the Lions under Dick Muir lost 17 successive matches.
The Eastern Cape should always have been a part of Super Rugby, and not just as a feeder to the Sharks.
It is imperative that the South African Rugby Union makes every effort to ensure the region's participation in 2014, instead of relying on a promotion-relegation match for them to get another season's stay of execution.
Some suggest the Kings got a hand out to play in the tournament. The region got a very necessary political handout, which should have happened long before 2013, but the players and coaching staff have been given nothing but brick walls to break down in their debut season.
Kings Director of Rugby Alan Solomons has done more for the region in the last four years than any rugby coach has done in the region post 1992's unification.
Solomons, schooled at Grey High, has proved a Godsend for the region. When EP President Cheeky Watson offered him the job and spoke of the greater goal of Super Rugby, Solomons said that to be taken seriously as a rugby entity the province had to start winning rugby games, at club level, at Vodacom Cup level and at Currie Cup level.
He said the province – and by extension the region – had to retain their young players and invest in Academy Structures that cared about the well-being of black and white players in the region.
Solomons's motto was to keep them home and bring them home. Firstly, though, the team had to be competitive and in time victorious. Solomons believed in a structure that could transform and win at the same time.
His EP Kings and the Southern Kings are evidence of this. In 2011 EP won the First Division League and the next year won the title. In 2008 the team was 14th out of 14 in South Africa.
Space constraints don't allow for the full story of the Kings last four years. Buy a copy of the latest SA Rugby Magazine and you'll get an appreciation of just why the Kings are the success story of South African rugby.
The Kings are not an extension of Cheeky Watson's ego. Read the 20-page magazine spread and you'll understand the significance of Catrakilis's drop goal.
This is a region that needs national support to turn the good news story into an even better one next year and the year after … and … and …
Sergeal Peterson and Siviwe Soyzwapi would have been playing under 20 rugby this season. Ronnie Cooke would have been playing in France and who knows if Steven Sykes and Andries Strauss would still be in this country.
Luke Watson would be captaining Bath, Catrakilis would have been in the WP Vodacom Cup team, Waylon Murray would have been overseas, Springbok hooker Bandise Maku would have been spoken of in the past tense and the Southern Hemisphere rugby community would not have known of a loose-trio of Jacques Engelbrecht, Wimpy van der Walt and Cornell du Preez.
Solomons would have been working for the IRB and resident in Belfast.
But they are all in Port Elizabeth. My plea to the South African Rugby Union is to make sure they all stay in PE.
This region needs investment. This region represents everything that can be good about the game in this country.
The Kings are the Cinderella of South African Rugby. Don't chase her home before midnight and turn PE's 2013 rugby chariot back into a pumpkin of player pity, poverty and political parody.

When people think of Chicago they think of the windy city and of great food! Personally, I think that both of these are certainly worth taking into consideration, especially the dining portion! Since I have lived in the city of Chicago I always make it a point to try new restaurants that I have not been to. My latest addition to the list is the Girl and the Goat. This awesome restaurant is located in the West Loop smack dab in the Randolph Restaurant Corridor. It is easily accessible from the River North area via taxi, if you are staying with us at the Hampton Inn & Suites it will probably take you about 10 minutes via cab.
I would strongly recommend that you have a reservation before you go to this restaurant and be warned that when you try to make one, they will probably be booked for months! Now you are certainly able to just show up and put your name on the list but the wait is at least 45 minutes if not longer. We had a reservation that was made 4 months prior to the selected date for dinner!! Now this certainly took me by surprise, this was my first restaurant where I had to make reservations so far ahead. You are probably thinking one of two things right now; this must be an amazing restaurant to be booked so far in advance or is this really worth my time?! I assure you that this restaurant is so busy because it is absolutely worth your time! The chef who created the restaurant, Stephanie Izard, won top chef several seasons ago and has really made a name for herself here in Chicago with her $1.5 million dollar restaurant-The Girl and the Goat. If you don't like crowded places then this might not be the spot for you, but if you are just looking to be surrounded with great friends and looking to have dinner in a rockin' environment then certainly check this out!
When we sat down we were immediately greeted by our waitress. As it was our first time there she was more than happy to explain how the Chef envisioned the dining experience. Because there were four of us she recommended that we order anywhere from 8 to 11 dishes. At first we thought that this would be a ridiculous amount of food and we were hesitant to order that much, but she did reassure us that we would be full, as the portions were designed to be small in order to enjoy the flavor of each bite. As we ordered our entrees we were pleasantly surprised by the aromas and the infused flavors of each individual dish. One of my favorite dishes was the Sautéed green beans. This dish contains a fish sauce vinaigrette with cashews; for a person that is not crazy about green beans I was surprised I could not get enough of this dish. I highly recommend this dish to anyone that is eating at this amazing restaurant.

For a colour laser printer, anything approaching the £300 mark seems to count as relatively expensive. But the Oki C3300 manages to justify its £280 price tag with its full network facilities.
At 21kg, the Oki isn't the lightest colour laser available, despite some rather slender dimensions. It's certainly not as tall as some lasers we've seen, although we would have accepted a little extra height had it given the Oki a more substantial paper tray.
The hardware resolution of 1,200x600 is superior to much of the competition – although it is matched by the older Oki C3200 – and 32MB of RAM is fairly decent as a default. The C3300n has an ethernet interface and USB compatibility.
So far, so good. Better still, the Oki offers some good image quality. Text is handled particularly well, with character definition very sharp and results dark and vivid. Colour graphics are also eyecatching.
We would query whether the colour palette is totally accurate – often the shades were just a little too bold compared with the subject matter. Nonetheless, the results are brimming in vibrancy. And if you want to get your point across in a presentation, a touch more colour probably doesn't go amiss.
If the Oki does have a drawback, though, it's in the matter of speed. The quoted figures of 16ppm (pages per minute) for mono and 12ppm for colour printing are hardly sensational. And in our real-world printing, the mono figure dropped to a mere 12.5ppm – even the £239 Canon LBP5200 offers more than this. Colour was better, although 7.5ppm is hardly class-topping.

Magnum Photos | The Mexican SuitcasePosted: December 17th, 2011 | Author: doug | Filed under: Film, History, Photography
In December 2007, three boxes filled with rolls of film containing 4,500 35mm negatives of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) taken by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David Seymour (aka "Chim")—which had been considered lost since 1939—arrived at the International Center of Photography. These three photographers, who lived in Paris, worked in Spain, and published internationally, laid the foundation for modern war photography. Their work has long been considered some of the most innovative and passionate coverage of the Spanish Civil War. An exhibition of Mexican Suitcase images is on view at the ICP from Sept. 24, 2010, to Jan. 9, 2011.
Many of the contact sheets made from the negatives are on view as part of the exhibition, which looks closely at some of the major stories covered by Capa, Taro, and Chim, as interpreted through the individual frames. These images can be seen alongside the magazines of the period in which they were published and with the photographers' own contact notebooks.
The complete story is available on the ICP site.

The Holdup Hitch rack by Yakima is a must have for anyone interested in a high quality hitch rack. A new feature is the side-to-side adjustability that reduces bike-to-bike interference. Yakima understands that using racks can be difficult and confusing. With this in mind Yakima has the Holdup to be quick and easy to use. Another feature unique to Yakima is the StrongArm™ design. This feature enables you to load you bike quickly, whether it be 20" or 29er. That's a large range of wheel sizes. Furthermore, Yakima understands that a versatile rack is an essential to any cyclist. Yakima has designed the Holdup to have zero contact with the bike frame. This allows for easy accommodation for Carbon Road frames as well as bikes with disc brakes and even full suspension bikes.
Once it's all said and done the trays easily fold up, this is a compact design. The Yakima Holdup hitch rack comes with fully integrated security locks. These locks secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle. SKS Lock Cores included. To top it all off, it comes in a stylish glossy black finish. What's more is a metal bottle opener!

Comments about Yakima Holdup Rack:
I use this rack 4-6 times a week so it stays on the back of my Jeep. Provides plenty of flexibility to accommodate various bike sizes. Keeps the bikes secure with no frame contact.
My only (very small) gripe is that I wish the lock line was a few inches longer as it barely fits through my frame and back.
Best Uses
Comments about Yakima Holdup Rack:
Well designed. Heavy duty. No need to manually adjust for different wheelbases. Firm hold of the bikes. Folds up very well… but be careful because it will fold right into the back of your car. Really good powder coated finish in black, it goes with all of my outfits. Quick and simple to operate. USA product. Shipped lickity split from Jenson, regular UPS.
Best Uses
Comments about Yakima Holdup Rack:
This version of the Yakima Hold Up is very easy to assemble and use. Once the hitch bolt is tightened the rack has no play at all. I loaded up my bikes, love the way the rack holds all types of bikes without ever touching the frame. On different occasions I took trips to local AM trails (30min away) & to a DH Park (1.5 hrs away), and my bikes made it to their respective destinations safe and sound. I did reach speeds over 75mph, bikes did not move. The security cable and the second hitch pin (shorty) give a better piece of mind when hauling my bikes. The rack folds up easy and is pretty small.
All in all I am very happy with the quality of this rack as well as its features. It was a bit expensive, but so are my bikes. I don't want to use a cheap rack for transporting my bikes. You truly get what you pay for! Yakima provides quality products and JensonUSA provides quality service.

Comments about Yakima Holdup Rack:
I'm very happy with this updated version of the HoldUp. I was having trouble deciding between this and the Kuat rack, but I'm glad I went with this one in the end.
Not only is it $100 cheaper, but I like the bike interface and locking mechanism on the Yakima much more.
It took me all of 15 minutes to put everything together and install on my car. After it's all set up it'll take you less than a minute to load both bikes onto the rack.. No removing wheels, buying 15QR/20AR adapters ect.
Yakima also gives you a lock to keep the hitch attached to your car and a lock for each bike which is attached to the rack itself. No more buying expensive accessories for your rack just to keep your bikes secure. I was really impressed by this feature!
All in all, this rack is fantastic! I can't say enough good things about it.

Austin TX American Statesman
For most of the 7 months since it rumbled to life, a wood-burning power plant in East Texas hasn't been producing electricity for Austin Energy customers despite a $2.3 billion contract.Simply put, the plant's electricity is now too expensive to use. But, even as the plant sits mostly idle, Austin Energy pays a fee to cover its operating costs."It concerns me that customers are on the hook, paying for this plant to sit idle," state Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin.The city-owned utility agreed to purchase power from the "biomass" plant in 2008 as part of a plan to aggressively invest in renewable energy and curb the city's contribution to global climate change. But the deal was based partly on the expectation that federal taxes would raise the price of carbon-based fuels, making wood waste

Living by Fiction
Living by Fiction (Paperback)
Related Editions
Living by Fiction is written for--and dedicated to--people who love literature. Dealing with writers such as Nabokov, Barth, Coover, Pynchon, Borges, García Márquez, Beckett, and Calvino, Annie Dillard shows why fiction matters and how it can reveal more of the modern world and modern thinking than all the academic sciences combined. Like Joyce Cary's Art and Reality, this is a book by a writer on the issues raised by the art of literature. Readers of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Holy the Firm will recognize Dillard's vivid writing, her humor, and the lively way in which she tackles the urgent questions of meaning in experience itself.
About the Author
Annie Dillard has written eleven books, including the memoir of her parents, An American Childhood; the Northwest pioneer epic The Living; and the nonfiction narrative Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. A gregarious recluse, she is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

DOBSON — A sign of changes in education was emphasized at the annual Surry County Schools' Child Nutrition Employee Training Conference in the Shelton-Badgett North Carolina Center for Viticulture and Enology.
In the past, students were treated as a captive audience for in-school nutrition programs. This is no longer true.
"We don't want to hold them captive," said Surry County Nutritional Services Director Sherri Parks. "We want to captivate them with great customer service. This is very important to us."
Parks explained that part of nutritional employees culture is that their job is not just serving but the act of service to children. She said the economic necessity of reaching students as customers is also crucial to keeping cafeteria budgets in the black.
"That's what we are here for. We do a good job but we want to take it to the next level and do things in a different way," Parks said.
Schools superintendent Dr. Travis Reeves told the group it takes every employee to make the school system run and said one example of what they have accomplished was in a recent graduation rate report where East Surry High School had improved from 86 percent to 98 percent and noted the Surry Early College had a 100 percent rate.
"When I asked the East Surry cafeteria staff about this they all said it was because of the food," Reeves said. "The good graduation rate is due to the help of everyone in grades K-12. Our students have been out for three months and families in our county continue to struggle. Many (students) look forward to coming back to school for that warm, nutritious meal. Feel good about what you do, how you do it and who you do it for."
The keynote speaker was Chick-fil-A owner and operator Chad Tidd, who said one important component of the chain's approach to customers is to put service above self and helping parents and children develop a relationship with the restaurant.
"I was a huge fan of school lunch," said Tidd. "One thing I enjoy about being a Chick-fil-A operator is that I get to connect to the community." He then quoted restaurant founder S. Truett Cathy's motto that food is essential to life and therefore make it good.
Tidd said for the workers to be freed up for better customer service they must learn to do the basics of their business.
"You have to get consistent, to get it right and when that comes naturally it will free you up to do more," Tidd said. "One of the most exciting things I get to do every day is to get to know my guests. We have to entrust our business to staff, to people like you. Many of my staff may struggle in personal lives but an environment of hospitality has them smiling at work. If you have a culture of going the second mile for each other that allows you to go above and beyond your's student's expectations."
He said that a focus on good quality, high participation, consistency, following and updating recipes and teaching staff to work quicker and smarter is key to success.
"I know this sounds basic but the secret is I've got to know they (employees) know what is expected of them and I've provided them with adequate resources to do this." He then told them about the "core four" concepts used by the restaurant. These four basic rules are for workers to create eye contact to set the tone, share a smile, speak enthusiastically and stay connected with guests.
Other activities at the at the workshop included workplace safety and cashier training and a yogurt parfait challenge.

Through three Freedom Classic series and 10 total games since 2011, Navy and Air Force are knotted at five wins apiece.
After splitting Sunday's doubleheaders — and the third annual series — the two conclude what coaches call, "where it should have been."
"If you look at the quality of play over the last three days (Air Force and Navy) were very similar in regards to their actions, in regards to the score and very similar now in regards to the (record)," Falcons Coach Mike Kazlausky said. "(The Freedom Classic) is the high of our season coming out here."
Navy (4-4) took the series two games to one in 2011 and Air Force (2-6) returned the favor at the second annual event. This year Navy won Game 1 by a score of 3-1 and the third game 3-2. Air Force won Saturday night's contest 8-7 and Sunday's late game 13-3. The 10-run win matches the Classic's largest margin of victory — a 13-3 victory by Navy in the rubber match of the inaugural Freedom Classic.
Navy coach Paul Kostacopoulos agreed the service academies similarities helps add to the competitiveness of the games at Grainger Stadium.
"Once in a while a game is going to get away from you," Kostacopoulos said of the 10-run loss. "But overall the numbers bear out (for competitive games). We get a lot of the same kids — that's got to be a great student, who wants to serve (his country) and who can play baseball."
Both coaches agreed Kinston creates a special atmosphere for the players who will eventually wear a uniform for their country.
"This is an unbelievable venue," Kazlausky said. "The community really supports us … the way the boys are treated (at the Freedom Classic) is the way they deserve to be treated, because they are going to do so many great things for our country, which is the most important piece of why we are here."
Kinston-Lenoir County Parks and Recreation Department Director Bill Ellis said he is working to secure a fourth annual event for 2014. Something both coaches say they look forward too.
"It's always tough to schedule collegiate games with conference changes," Ellis said. "It makes it a challenge but we're going to try to make it happen."
Game 3: Navy 3, Air Force 2
What started as a defensive battle ended with a bench clearing collision at the plate and the Naval Academy coming away with a 3-2 win.
Trailing 1-0 in the seventh and final inning of the day's first game, the Middies loaded the bases with a pair of two out singles. With Navy's Brandon Beans on first and two runners ahead of him, Falcons catcher Garrett Custons attempted to catch the right fielder off guard, but over threw the bag.
The errant throw, which was slowed by standing water on the first-base-side warning track, travelled far enough to allow Brad Borosak and Dylan Wheeler to score.
Beans, who reached home safely from first, was called out after failing to slide at the plate. The collision between Custons and Beans elicited a few shoves before both benches cleared and quickly separated the players. Beans was ruled out for baserunner interference, but the Mids held onto a two-run lead going into the bottom of the seventh.
Custons, who led off the seventh for Air Force, doubled and scored from third on a Alex Bast sacrifice fly. The Midshipmen scored a lone run in the bottom of the inning but it was all the offense the Falcons could muster in falling to a 2-1 deficit in the four-game series.
Anthony Parenti didn't give up an earned run and struck out nine over six innings of work, while earning the win for Navy. Steven Trojan (one earned run and seven strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings) started the game for Air Force. Ben Yokley was charged with the loss, giving up two runs during his one out appearance.
Navy was led at the plate by Borosak (2-for-3, RBI). Custons had two hits on four plate appearances and Bast had the Falcons lone RBI.
Game 4: Air Force 13, Navy 3
Air Force chased three Midshipmen pitchers during the fourth inning, amassing six runs on three hits and four walks on its way to win in Game 4.
The Falcons scored a pair of runs in the first and third innings before exploding on the Navy pitching staff while extending the lead. All six of the runs were earned during the frame.
After running starter Luke Gillingham from the mound without recording an out, both Dallas Redden and Jake Coffey were also unable to pick up an out, giving up two and three runs respectively.
Navy picked up two runs in the seventh inning on an error and a pair of two out hits but could not cut into the Falcons' 11 runs any more than that.
Defensively, Air Force pitcher and game winner Alex Baker gave up just two runs on four hits during seven innings. The two runs were unearned and he struck out 10 Midshipmen batters.
Falcons outfielder Alex Bast finished the game batting 4-for-5 with a pair of RBIs. He hit a solo shot in the fifth inning, his first of the season and the Falcons second of the year. David Baska hit a go-ahead — and eventual game winning — homer in the final frame of Game 2 Saturday night.
Craig Veech (1-3) had two RBIs for Navy. Gillingham recorded the loss.

Funny thing is, most of the complaints here come down to 2 things- driving feel and power to weight.
There is a reason I just bought another motorcycle. Cars just can't touch the excitement.
And even more funny.. even though the streetbike I just bought makes 135+hp, it still isn't anywhere near the rush and excitement of a simple cheap dirtbike.
In the spring, I plan on buying some sort of supermoto / dual sport or converted dirtbike to rip around the backroads on.

This shoe feels great and looks great. Yes the laces have stretched a bit which makes them a little long, but overall the product is awesome. I still have some Vasque hiking boots I bought about 20 years ago and THEY still feel great. Highly recommended.
I am happy with these shoes. They are comfortable and fit my narrow feet well. However I am not happy with the customer service from Vasque. After a very short time, both laces broke (within a week of each other) so I called Vasque to see if they have a solution. Basically they said too bad, they couldn't help me. It is not that I was particularly upset that the laces broke prematurely, but for shoes that cost over $100 I expect that the manufacturer would be willing to figure out a solution - or even a thankyou for letting them know there were quality control problems with the laces.
I'm on my second pair of Vasque Justes, size 9. The first pair lasted almost a year of constant use (from trails to office to nice restaurants and back) before they got tired. Just got back from 10 days of pavement pounding in Rome (if you've ever been there you know how walkable a city it is) which meant about 50 hard surface miles + all that walking around the museums, the Vatican, the palaces, the parks, etc.. Great support but very light weight, and at least vaguely stylish (well, not so stylish in Rome). Nary a peep from the feets. Easily the most comfortable walking / hiking shoe I own, I'd wear it every day and usually do.
A great shoe for sure, the lace system is super easy to work, the shoes are moderately water repellant, and fairly warm. They're a great shoe for people with big feet and moderately wide feet. It's super comfy and is useful for just about anything. I recommend it and it's a little cheaper than most shoes so it's a solid investment. They will last for a long time.
Great shoes so far! Extremely comfortable and not to mention they look great! They seem true to size. I wear 13 and the 13 in these fit perfectly. I've yet to wear them hiking, but I have wore them casually and through a few rounds of disc golf and so far so good! Loving these shoes, so far!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't have thought finding a good pair of shoes would be this difficult. Not a lot of places (EMS et al) locally carry sizes 13 and up. Got lucky with this shoe. They must run a little big because I fit in the 13 fine and generally wear 13.5 and up. Very comfortable right out of the box. Lacing config keeps my feet nicely in place. Not my first pair of Vasque, certainly not the last. I'm going to look for more 13s now. And girls dig them (could be the 13+, who knows).

What started as an alert to an ominous email nearly derailed Merritt Wilkinson from what was seemingly a perfect fit to play softball at UNC Wilmington.
In May, a committee recommended that UNCW cut five sports programs, including softball. Wilkinson, who graduated from Western Alamance last month and signed with UNCW in the fall, was thrust into uncertainty a few months ahead of her anticipated arrival on campus.
"When it first came out nobody knew what was going on," Wilkinson said. "We didn't know what to do. The coach didn't know what to do. You wanted to think positive, and I knew there was nothing I could do.
"It was a shock that it could possibly go away."
That shock turned into an outcry of support for the softball program, along with men's and women's swimming and diving and men's and women's cross country.
Through a series of online petitions and support for the programs under the axe, UNCW chancellor Gary Miller announced that the school wouldn't eliminate any programs.
It ended about two weeks of panic that Wilkinson, the Class 3-A West Player of the Year for the North Carolina Softball Coaches Association, wouldn't want to repeat.
"I'd always wanted to go to Wilmington, I chose there because of softball and the school," Wilkinson said.
Kristy Norton, who just completed her first season as UNCW's coach, sent an email to team members and commits the day of the initial announcement. Wilkinson said could tell something was awry by the tone of the email.
That didn't soften the blow when Wilkinson later learned that the program she had committed to could be cut.
"I would still like the school, I would be fine going there, but I wanted to play softball," Wilkinson said. "I really had always dreamed of going to a Division I school."
The prospect of going to UNCW for a year as a student, then transferring to play softball, was a possibility. The school announced it would honor all scholarships for one school year if the program was cut. Wilkinson also looked at smaller schools with transferring in mind.
But none of the alternate scenarios was appealing, given that Wilkinson had planned on playing softball at UNCW for the better part of a year.
"I was really trying not to worry about it until I knew for sure. I was just like, 'There's nothing I can do.' "
So when UNCW held a news conference in May and the programs facing elimination asked for support, Wilkinson was on the way.
"They really wanted a lot of support," Wilkinson said. "People were emailing the chancellor. We were telling anybody we knew to sign up (for online petitions) and email the chancellor.
Wilkinson said through the process of uncertainty, Norton served as a calming influence.
"The coach was really positive about it. It made me feel like she thought it wouldn't happen," Wilkinson said. "She was trying to relay to us what they were feeling."

A Recital of Songs and Arias
TARYN BENARROCH '05, soprano
MARIBEL LIM, piano
Taryn Benarroch began her musical studies at age seven with the violin, which she pursued until the end of high school. During her freshman year at Ramona Convent Secondary School in Alhambra, CA, she joined the concert and chamber choirs, and has been singing ever since.
Taryn is a senior completing a dual major in government and music. She pursues her music major through Pomona College, and studies there with Donald Brinegar, conductor of the nationally acclaimed Donald Brinegar Singers, recently featured at Walt Disney Concert Hall. In the fall of 2003 she studied abroad in Milan, where she enrolled at the Accademia Internazionale Della Musica, the undergraduate conservatory. In addition to instruction under New York City Opera soprano Patrizia Zanardi, she took classes in performance practice and opera translation and interpretation.
During the summer of 2004 Taryn traveled to Burgas, Bulgaria, where she sang the role of First Boy, and understudied the role of Papagena in W.A. Mozart's Die Zauberfloete (1791) (The Magic Flute) at the Burgas Opera Festival. After graduation Taryn plans to work in New York or Washington, D.C. before going to law school. Taryn's program will include pieces by Bellini, Faure, Handel, Schubert, and arias from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (1786) and Puccini's La Boheme (1896).
Practical Experiments Using Implant Technology
Cyborgs– organisms that are part human and part machine– have long provided fodder for science fiction literature. Who can forget our current governor in the role of the Terminator telling audiences, "I'll be back"? But cyborgs are no longer mere creatures of fantasy and imagination. In 1998, Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, underwent an operation that implanted a silicon-chip transponder into his arm, turning him into the world's first cyborg. Through the use of this transponder, a computer monitored Warwick as he moved through his office building, allowing him to operate doors, lights, heaters and other computers without lifting a finger. More recently, in 2002, an electrode array was surgically implanted into the median nerve fibers of Warwick's left arm, linking his nervous system directly to a computer. As a result of this operation, not only was Warwick able to receive artificial stimulations from the implant, but he was able to control an electric wheelchair and an intelligent artificial hand simply through the use of the neural interface.
Implant technology has much to offer in terms of assisting those affected by a spinal injury, MND, MS or other related issues. By directly sending neural signals to a computer this opens the possibility of either bringing about much improved body coordination or alternatively allowing an individual to control their (networked) environment. However the available technology needs to be tested in real world (human) applications to assess problems of compatibility and effectiveness.
Warwick was born in Coventry, UK and left school at the age of 16 to join British Telecom. At 22, he received his first degree at Aston University, followed by a Ph.D. and a research post at Imperial College, London. He subsequently held positions at Oxford, Newcastle and Warwick universities before taking his current post at Reading, at the age of 33.
At the University of Reading, Warwick conducts research in artificial intelligence, control, robotics, and cyborgs. He has produced over 400 publications on his research, including more than 90 refereed journal articles and 25 books. His work has been discussed by the United States Presidential Council on Bioethics, the European Commission FTP, and has led to him being widely referenced and featured in academic circles as well as in magazines such as Time, Newsweek, and Wired. He has also been called "Britain's leading prophet of the Robot Age" by Gillian Anderson of television's The X-Files.
His talk, sponsored by the Gould Center, is the final talk in the series Philosophy Through Science Fiction.

Has the current crisis around the six-party talk in Beijing on the North Korean nuclear issue marked a turning point in the history of Northeast Asia and Korea? Not quite so. We might say, however, the talk reflected a real possibility of change for North Korea, Northeast Asia and indeed the global security relations. In many ways, the current situation in Korea is a product of the regional history, geopolitics of Northeast Asia, and the tremendous change in technology and market. In order to properly diagnose the current problems facing Korea and Asia, we have to develop a broad perspective incorporating all those factors that jointly produce a special regional dynamics. It certainly is a gigantic intellectual challenge for all parties concerned, especially the United States. The Honorable Hong-koo Lee will address these questions in his speech.
Dr. Lee was the Prime Minister of South Korea (1994–1995). Before that, he served twice as the deputy prime minister for unification dealing with the relation between the divided two Korean states. He was also a member of the Korean National Assembly and the chairman of the then ruling New Korea Party.
Dr. Lee was educated at Seoul National University, Emory University, and Yale University where he received a Ph.D. in political science. He was on the faculty of Seoul National University for twenty years (1968–1988). Professor Lee was the president of the Korean Political Science Association and a member of the executive committee of the International Political Science Association. He spent a year each as a fellow at Woodrow Wilson International Center (1973) and Harvard Law School (1974). His publications include a five volume collected works.
Dr. Lee was the South Korean ambassador to the United Kingdom (1991–1993) and most recently to the United States (1998–2000). He was a member of the Commission on Global Governance (1991–1994) which proposed restructuring of the United Nations. As the Chairman of the World Cup Bidding Committee, he successfully won the right to co-host the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to host The Honorable Hong-koo Lee's visit to CMC as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor.

Dinner Theater
The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard
Dinner and Play at 6:00 p.m.
Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing (1982) won several 2000 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play. This beautifully written work, first performed in America in 1984 (a performance which won the Tony for Best Play) examines issues of love and truth in relationships, love, marriage, and sex.
The story follows the trials and tribulations of a playwright and his actress wife as they leave their current relationships to pursue marriage with each other. He is ever faithful while she finds herself occasionally straying, perhaps only to test him, perhaps because she has not yet found happiness or the truth in love, or perhaps because she is still struggling to find the "real" thing. The couple works through these struggles in the hope of realizing the truth of the nature of love despite infidelity, jealousy, and other relationships that threaten to disillusion them. In their relationship with each other and in their relationships with the other people in their life, both characters attempt to find themselves as well as the truth in love. The work takes a refined, fresh, and honest look at love in all of its various forms. The Real Thing abounds in wit, insight, love, pain, and truth, and comes from the hand of a skilled playwright and master of human emotion. Brilliantly written, The Real Thing attempts to answer the age-old question of "what is love?" The question of whether it succeeds or not is left for the audience to answer.
The Real Thing is directed by Beth Brunner '06, and the cast includes Joanna Marks '07, Greg Gallagher '07, Annie Fairman '07, Dave Mistysyn '05, Alex Hwang '08, Ariel Boorstin '07, and Jules Dormady '08. The play does contain some adult humor and scenes and seating will be limited so sign up early.

History, Truth and Memory: Reflections on the Irving-Lipstadt Libel Case
LUNCH 11:45 a.m., lecture 12:15 p.m.
Writing in The New Criterion in May, 2001, David Pryce-Jones identified "an underworld ... of people who believe that we are deceived about the nature of much recent history in general and the Second World War in particular. To them, Hitler was a great man and Churchill was evil. To bypass the objection that Hitler launched not only war but also mass murder on a continental scale, these people have to deny that there ever was a Holocaust, that nothing much happened to the Jews in the war, or if it did then they deserved it and more." Within the "underworld" Pryce-Jones describes, one David Irving, putatively a historian and authority on the Third Reich, has long held sway. Irving has maintained that Hitler knew nothing of the Holocaust before 1943, nor did he order or was he in any way responsible for any systematic extermination of European Jewry. Irving once told a Canadian audience that "more people died on the back seat of Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than ever died in a gas chamber at Auschwitz." Yet it was Irving who, in January 2000, approached the High Court on London's Strand as the plaintiff in a notorious libel case. His charge: that Deborah Lipstadt, Professor of Jewish Studies at Emory University, had, in her 1993 book, Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, irreparably damaged Irving's reputation by singling him out as a falsifier whose denial of the Holocaust was motivated by a personal agenda to exonerate Hitler and Nazism. Because of Britain's peculiar libel laws, which impose upon the defendant the burden of proof, it was Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin Books, who found themselves on trial.
Professor Richard Evans was retained by the defense as historical advisor and expert witness, helped carry the day for Lipstadt and her publisher. In the ruling of Justice Charles Gray, Evans had provided evidence sufficient to prove that the plaintiff did indeed have a political agenda that "disposes him, where he deems it necessary, to manipulate the historical record." Ultimately, Irving's libel action was rejected.
Richard Evans, Professor of Modern History at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (UK), has written extensively on German history. Currently at work on a large-scale history of the Third Reich, Evans has also authored In Hitler's Shadow: West German Historians and the Attempt to Escape from the Nazi Past (1989); and Telling Lies About Hitler: History, the Holocaust, and the David Irving Trial (2002). In his Athenaeum talk, Evans will address issues of historical objectivity, relativism, and perspective in the light of his experience in the Irving-Lipstadt libel case. Professor Evans's talk is cosponsored by the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights.
Cancer Therapy in the 21st Century
Cancer is a complex and serious disease. Unlike other diseases, it cannot be treated with a single shot or with antibiotics. There are many cancers that cannot be cured with current treatments and half a million Americans die of cancer each year. Each of us has about a 1 in 3 chance of getting malignant cancer during his or her lifetime, and a l in 4 chance of dying from it.
Dr. Brian Druker's goal is to treat and hopefully cure cancer, and he has reached a significant milestone: he helped to develop a revolutionary type of cancer drug and get it into the hands of patients suffering from chronic mylogenous leukemia (CML). Unlike traditional chemotherapy, the drug, marketed as Gleevec, targets the genetic abnormality that causes the cancer and leaves healthy cells alone, thereby causing far fewer side effects. Druker's work represents a major transition in medicine toward a rational approach to treating difficult diseases like cancer. Many patients have achieved complete remission of the disease while on the drug, and the clinical trials with Gleevec have been heralded as a new paradigm in cancer therapy.
Brian Druker is the Director of the Leukemia Center at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). He received his M.D. degree from the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine and completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Barnes Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. He then trained in medical oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School.
For his role in the development of Gleevec and application in the clinic, Dr. Druker has received numerous awards, including the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Award from the American Association for Cancer Research, the Warren Alpert Prize from Harvard Medical School, the American Society of hematology's Dameshek Prize, the Karnofsky Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Cancer Society's Medal of Honor, and the Kettering Prize from the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation. He was recently elected to the Institute of Medicine.
The Mind in Captivity: Czeslaw Milosz and Modernity
LUNCH 11:45 a.m., LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004) was a poet whose work was a window through which to view the 20th century: the struggle of democracy and totalitarianism, human rights and genocide, faith and science, being and nothingness. Born in Lithuania, writing in Polish, and eventually living and teaching for many years in the United States at Berkeley, Milosz became an embodiment of the postmodern condition of exile. In addition to his poetry, Milosz's The Captive Mind (1953) remains one of the classic books on the dangers of the lures of totalitarian thought. And he also wrote Native Realm: A Search for Self-Definition (1959) about the spiritual phenomenon of exile faced by many in modern Europe.
Professor Joanna Zach, one of this year's Podlich Distinguished Fellows, knew and worked with Milosz, and has published widely on his work. Her ongoing project is "Mind in Captivity and Exile: Czeslaw Milosz and European Modernity" and follows her first book on Milosz's Search for Self (2002), and her numerous articles have focused on the theme of exile and the role of former exiles in the New Europe. Since 2000 Professor Zach has been a member of the Helsinki Forum, an independent cultural project to foster Pan-European critical debate that brings together writers, philosophers, historians, and social scientists from all parts of Europe.
Professor Zach is a graduate of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Since then, she has taught at the Institute for Polish Literary Studies. She has also taught at St. Anne's College in Oxford and at Harvard University as Research Fellow.
Leaving the Killing Fields Behind: A Quest for Social Justice and Human Dignity
In 1975, the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia and enslaved the entire population. Overnight, all Cambodians were stripped of their rights and individuality and forced to work as slaves to help build the Khmer Rouge's utopian society. At the end of the process, approximately 1.7 million people died of torture, summary execution, starvation, and malnutrition.
Chivy Sok, a child survivor of the Cambodian Killing Fields, will talk about life under the Khmer Rouge and the journey that led her to international human rights advocacy. As an advocate for international human rights with a focus on child labor issues, Sok is currently collaborating with several institutions to advance the teaching and curriculum development about child labor.
Most recently, Sok served as the Deputy Director of the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights (UICHR) and Project Director of the $1.2 million Child Labor Research Initiative at the University of Iowa. Prior to joining the UICHR, she worked as a consultant to the Cambodian Association of Illinois that raised funds to build the first Killing Fields Memorial and Museum in the United States.
Chivy Sok earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of California at Santa Barbara and a Master of International Affairs degree from Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs with a special concentration in East Asia and human rights.
Chivy Sok's Athenaeum presentation is held in observance of April 17, the day 30 years ago when Cambodia fell to the Khmer Rouge. She is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights.
Invisible Children: Discover the Unseen
LUNCH 11:45 a.m., FILM BEGINS 12:00 p.m.
The film Invisible Children (2004) was born from a trip to Africa by three Southern California college students desiring to produce a documentary on the persecuted church in Southern Sudan. What they discovered was a much more compelling story about the invisible children of Northern Uganda who for 18 years have been systematically turned into soldiers for local warlords. Children as young as elementary students are methodically kidnapped and desensitized to the horror of brutal violence and killing as they themselves are turned into vicious killers.
Invisible Children is dedicated to initiating, developing, and funding programs to protect, educate, and rehabilitate children in the Sudan and Northern Uganda who have been brainwashed and who live in a world ravaged by war.
Claremont McKenna College sophomores James Kezele and Kyle Salter are hosting this film on behalf of producers Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole. Their goal is to raise everyone's awareness of the atrocities suffered by these children. They invite you to join your friends at the Athenaeum to discover the unseen.

A Conversalion with the Ambassador
Named Presidential Envoy to Iraq on May 6, 2003, Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III, served for 14 months as the Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority and spearheaded the coalition in building the new framework of Iraq. He completed his mission on June 28, 2004, when he handed over power to the interim government of Iraq.
Ambassador Bremer is one of the world's leading experts on crisis management, terrorism and homeland security. In September 1999, the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed him Chairman of the National Commission on Terrorism. In June 2002, President Bush appointed Ambassador Bremer to the President's Homeland Security Advisory Council. He also has served on the National Academy of Science Commission examining the role of science and technology in countering terrorism and chaired a Heritage Foundation study, "Defending the Homeland."
Prior to Iraq, Ambassador Bremer was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of a crisis management firm, Marsh Crisis Consulting Company. From 1989 to 2000, he was Managing Director of Kissinger Associates, a strategic consulting firm headed by former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger.
Ambassador Bremer received his B.A. from Yale University, a CEP from the Institut D'Etudes Politiques of the University of Paris, and an MBA from Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. In December 2004, President Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, for his service in Iraq. For that service, Ambassador Bremer was also given the Department of Defense award for Distinguished Public Service. During his time in government, Ambassador Bremer received the State Department Superior Honor Award, two Presidential Meritorious Service Awards, and the Distinguished Honor Award from the Secretary of State. He is a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies and The Council on Foreign Relations.
Ambassador Bremer served as Special Assistant or Executive Assistant to six Secretaries of State, during his 23-year State Department career. His overseas assignments have included service at the Embassies in Afghanistan and Malawi and service as Deputy Chief of Mission at the American Embassy in Norway. President Reagan named him as Ambassador to the Netherlands in 1983, were he served for three years. Ambassador Bremer also served as Executive Secretary of the State Department and was President Reagan's Ambassador at Large for Counter Terrorism.
The dinner is for CMC persons only, the talk is open with seating on a first-come basis.
Character and Culture
In July, 2003, President George W. Bush remarked that "Professor James Q. Wilson may be the most influential political scientist in America since the White House was home to Professor Woodrow Wilson. ... He writes with authority on a range of subjects, from the workings of government to the causes and prevention of crime. Whatever his subject, James Q. Wilson writes with intellectual vigor, with moral clarity ... And now it is my honor to present the award [the Presidential Medal of Freedom] ...."
Over the past four decades, Wilson has earned an international reputation for his research, writing, and insight on all manner of political, social, economic, and criminological issues. The twelve books (which include The Moral Sense (1993), Bureaucracy: What Governments Do and Why They Do It (1991), and Crime and Human Nature: The Definitive Study of the Causes of Crime (1985)) he has authored or co-authored have helped shape public policy on juvenile delinquency, drugs, penology, and government regulation of business. His service on national commissions includes membership on the Attorney General's Task Force on Violent Crime (1981) and the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (1985-1990), and chairmanship of the White House Task Force on Crime (1966) and National Advisory Commission on Drug Abuse Prevention (1972-73).
To Wilson, character— and the conditions under which it may develop— has always been a primary civic concern, and a matter that should be of paramount importance not only to social scientists, but also to legislators, teachers, and leaders in local, state, and national government. In his Athenaeum address, he will talk about recent developments in character-related programs— welfare, education, and crime— and about what may account for such trends as the recent decline in felony violence within the U.S. at a time when other industrial democracies have seen marked increases.
Professor Wilson appears as this year's Ricardo J. Quinones Distinguished Lecturer. Established in honor of the founding director of the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the Quinones Lectureship brings to the Athenaeum some of the world's preeminent intellectuals, writers, and public figures. Professor Wilson's talk is co-sponsored by the Gould Center and the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
Measuring the Value of a Statistical Life: Problems and Pitfalls
Orley Ashenfelter is Joseph Douglas Green 1895 Professor of Economics at Princeton University. Ashenfelter graduated from CMC in 1964, and completed his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1970. He has since been on the faculty at Princeton, and has held various visiting positions and fellowships. He edited the American Economic Review from 1985 until 2001, and was co-editor until 2002. He co-edited the Handbooks in Labor Economics series, and currently edits the American Law and Economics Review, in addition to holding other editorial positions. He has been the recipient of many awards, including the IZA Prize in Labor Economics in 2003. He recently became a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. This learned society has included among its ranks Adam Smith (co-founder), Charles Darwin, and many others of note.
Ashenfelter's research, contained in countless journal articles, spans an array of topics, primarily, but not exclusively, in labor economics. His early work led to the development of rigorous methods for the quantitative evaluation of social programs. Among methods he has developed is the use of "natural" experiments to infer causality, such as using twins to control for genetic factors that may confound the estimation of the effect of schooling. Some of his recent work has focused on auction markets, such as those for wine and art. His upcoming talk at the Athenaeum will focus on the "problems and pitfalls" of "measuring the value of a statistical life." In this work he uses mandated speed limits to infer something about the value of life.
The department of economics annual presentation of awards will immediately precede Professor Ashenfelter's lecture.

GARETH DUNCAN looks at the Saffas who impressed in the leagues around the world over the weekend.
Ulster might have suffered major knocks to their Pro12 semi-final hopes after successive defeats to Connacht and Leinster during the latter stages of their domestic campaign, but the Northern Irish club continued their impressive European Cup run as they surged into the title decider with a 22-19 semi-final win over Edinburgh. It will be Ulster's first European Cup final appearance since winning the tournament in 1999.
Scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar and eighthman Pedrie Wannenburg scored the points between them to give their team the big win. Pienaar showed his fine form with the boot as he converted all six of his goal attempts (five penalties and a conversion) for a haul of 17 points. The former Sharks man was also impressive in general play behind a dominant pack, prompting calls for Springbok selection from pundits up north and in South Africa.
Wannenburg, who finishes his third and final season with Ulster this year before joining French Top 14 outfit Castres, grabbed a vital try during the first quarter. He was also burly on defence as he made six tackles.
Lock and captain Johann Muller, fullback Stefan Terblanche and reserve flank Robbie Diack also featured for the victors. Muller was outstanding, as he was their lineout kingpin (he won six feeds), made 14 tackles (without missing one) and forced three turnovers. Terblanche was given a yellow card in the 28th minute for striking an opponent at the ruck, but still delivered a solid performance as he made the second most turnovers in the match (five). Diack came off the bench at the death to help close out the win.
Edinburgh flank David Denton, who was schooled at Kingswood College in the Eastern Cape and represented EP at provincial level, contributed to his side's physical performance. He made six tackles and gained 28m with ball in hand.
In the other semi-final, hooker Richardt Strauss and replacement prop Heinke van der Merwe powered defending champions Leinster to a 19-15 comeback win over reserve prop Daniel Kotze's Clermont. Strauss (seven) and Van der Merwe (four) made 11 tackles between them.
Ulster and Leinster will meet in the final at Twickenham on 19 May.
In the European Challenge Cup's first semi-final, Toulon skipper Joe van Niekerk led his charges to a 32-29 edging of reserve lock Anton van Zyl's Stade Francais. Van Niekerk stood out on defence as he made six tackles and forced one turnover, while former England flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson kicked Toulon to victory with seven penalties and two drop goals.
In the other semi-final, tighthead prop Eugene van Staden helped Biarritz to a 19-0 win over Brive, who had wing Ronnie Cooke, outside centre Riaan Swanepoel, lock Retief Uys, No 8 Antonie Claassen and reserve prop Pat Barnard in their match-day squad. Claassen was the top Saffa performer as he rushed 49m and made six tackles.
Toulon will duel against Biarritz in the final at the Stoop on 18 May.
In Super Rugby, Waratahs scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius came off the bench to score a try against the Crusaders in a 37-33 defeat.

Ok - so no strong emergence or weak emergence either, just "freeze frame" magic! Good luck with that trick, rammaq. Or if not magic then god-like mystery and dogma backed by absolutely nothing you can point to in reality!
I didn't say that there is no weak emergence, did I? As srrr has explained, weak emergence happens, but it doesn't mean that hitherto non-existent things can pop into existence. There can be change without new objects or properties coming into existence.
And if there is no fundamental level then of what use are your diagrams? They don't explain anything! And for the same reason, neither does srrr's idea of "primordial consciousness" or panpsychism or Platonic idealism.
Where did I say that there is no fundamental level?
So you're left with three choices - strong emergence's magic, "it always existed" dogma or weak emergence's reality. Think again…
Weak emergence is perfectly compatible with my 'it always existed' dogma.
