Softball Sweeps King Taking Advantage of Six Errors; Conklin/Brown Combine for One-Hitter in Game Two
April 7, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University softball posted a pair of 5-0 shutouts on Thursday afternoon blanking King College in a non-conference doubleheader at Jack Ingram Field. The Lady Falcons held the Lady Tornado to just four hits on the day improving to 16-26 overall while King falls to 9-23.
In game one, Pfeiffer took advantage of two King miscues to post three runs in the bottom of the third. Mikaela Strickland (Bonifay, FL) tallied the first run on a throwing error while Celia Dew (Sanford, NC) singled home Melanie Conklin (Wellington, OH) later in the frame. Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) completed the inning with a sacrifice fly to left that plated Hannah Jackson (Greensboro, NC). Two of the three runs were unearned.
In the fifth, the Lady Falcons added their other two runs, this time on a dropped fly ball by the Tornado defense. Rachel LaBar (Bradenton, FL) and Waylock would both score on the mistake as both reached with one out singles.
Allison Braswell (Asheboro, NC) earned the victory in the opener allowing just three hits with four strikeouts. Aubree Hutt (Bristol, VA), Christy Kooch (Knoxville, TN) and Lauren Wilson (Abington, VA) each had a hit for the Lady Tornado.
The nightcap saw Conklin and Shelby Brown (South Hill, VA) combine for a one-hit shutout in another 5-0 win. The lone King hit broke up the no-hit bid in the sixth as Natasha Dean (Church Hill, TN) led off with a clean single up the middle. Conklin went five plus frames allowing the one hit with six strikeouts while Brown finished with two innings of work with a pair of strikeouts.
Pfeiffer started with two runs in the first on two more King errors as Waylock and Dew both scored on a dropped pop up over at first. In the third, Waylock and Jackson each picked up RBI to make it 4-0 while the final run came in the fourth on an Amber Johnson (Spokane, WA) infield single.
The Lady Falcons will play their final home game of 2011 on Saturday with senior day against Shaw. Braswell and Waylock will be honored before first pitch at 11:00 a.m.

Cohn Restaurant Group signs deal with Pier South
Restaurant group to partner with luxury hotel
IMPERIAL BEACH Cohn Restaurant Group, of Indigo Grill and The Prado fame, plans to open its first South Bay property this summer inside Pier South, a new boutique hotel in Imperial Beach.
President David Cohn said the group signed a deal with San Diego-based Pacifica Companies to join forces in creating what some predict will be a catalyst for business in the South County region.
"I don't want to understate how significant (the restaurant) is," said Allison Rolfe, director of planning for Pacifica Companies. "We think that it will help put the hotel on the map and put Imperial Beach on the map."
The restaurant management company has been looking to open a property in South County for years, Cohn said, but had not found the right location and market conditions until now.
The restaurant in Imperial Beach will be the third the group has opened in what Cohn described as underdeveloped and underserved markets. It is preceded by 333 Pacific in Oceanside and Vintana in Escondido.
"We opened a restaurant in Oceanside almost five years ago, and people thought we were crazy, but it's done very well," Cohn said.
When they opened Vintana last year, he said, they got a similar response from people who didn't recognize that Escondido was a great market that was simply underserved.
"We think that's definitely the situation in Imperial Beach," he said. "We're very excited about going to I.B. and being a part of a beachfront hotel. There aren't many true beachfront hotels in San Diego County."
Cohn expects this new restaurant will be a halfway point for people from downtown San Diego and over the border.
He predicts about 20 percent of the business at the restaurant will come from the hotel, and the other 80 percent will come from outside.
Cohn emphasized that the restaurant will have a distinct identity and name from Pier South. Even though there are many great hotel restaurants, he explained, there is a certain stigma attached to being branded as one.
"We're going to move toward creating a unique and individual identity for the restaurant that will tell people that it's complementary to the hotel, but it's not a hotel restaurant," he said.
The theme will align with the beach chic theme of Pier South, which has been selected to be a member of the Marriott's exclusive Autograph Collection of independent luxury hotels.
Restaurant project manager Ken Irvine, former Chez Loma owner and current Bleu Bohème owner, said this property will be a "three-meal workhorse" with a contemporary tavern theme — but not the stereotypical dark, boozy tavern.
Instead it will be a place for people to gather and socialize. The restaurant will be accessible, the menu will consist mainly of shared plates, and the pricing will be modest to attract locals.
"It's a very exciting, vibrant restaurant with an approachable and affordable menu and a really nice-sized bar and lounge area," Irvine said.
The restaurant, which will seat about 130, will also handle room service for hotel guests and will be responsible for food in the hotel's banquet room, rooftop deck and a small private dining room.

Seniors Kristen Clarkson and Kaitlyn Flick and juniors Cortney Hurt and Mercedes Widdows earned second place medals in the Carolinas ProStart Invitational competition March 25-26 in
With one second left to spare, the team prepared a menu consisting of an appetizer of steak in lettuce cups, an entrée of seared duck finished with apricot cranberry sauce, ginger rice, haricot verts and a dessert of pumpkin cheesecake shooters served with strawberry, chocolate and caramel sauces.
"It was quiet and intense, but we kept each other calm throughout the challenge," Kristen said. "We wanted to do something different because everyone usually does chicken or seafood."
The announcement of the team's success came as a complete surprise to the girls, who were up against a strong group of competitors from across the state.
"We thought we did terrible and had no chance of taking any places because there were other culinary technical schools that had more money and a lot more equipment than us," Mercedes said. "When they said
During the culinary arts competition, each team designs, costs, prepares and serves their three-course meal using only two butane burners. Without electricity, running water or help from anyone other than team members, the students have one hour to prepare a gourmet meal that is judged by certified chefs using industry standards.
Teacher Shelley Harper remained confident in the team throughout the challenge.
"I was really proud of them," Harper said. "I was really calm about them competing, probably the calmest I've ever been. They have practiced so much that they knew what to do and when to do it."
The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation partners with The North and South Carolina Tourism and Hospitality Foundations to offer the ProStart Restaurant Management and Culinary Arts Program to high schools across North and
"What they were doing was difficult, but they have done it so much that it looked easy," Harper said. "Practice is the key when it comes to going to the competition and of course a good menu and techniques."
The goal of the ProStart Program is to introduce high school students to a variety of career opportunities in the hospitality industry and provide industry-relevant curriculums in restaurant management and culinary arts for the workforce and higher education.
"They were willing to learn in the classroom, they wanted to do different things and they showed interest in going to the competition," Harper said. "They have to pay for some of it, and they were willing to."
They also sought guidance from a skilled restaurant mentor. Chef Louis Clemmons of Portofino Ristorante in Emerald Isle provided them with tips to roast peppers and properly prepare a duck for their menu.
"We went to our mentor's restaurant and worked with them in the kitchen before the competition," Mercedes said.
Each of the girls have enjoyed cooking throughout childhood and currently work part-time in food service after school.
"My grandfather taught me how to make scrambled eggs, and ever since then I have wanted to cook," Mercedes said.
Kaitlyn, Cortney and Mercedes plan to continue education after high school to prepare for a career in culinary arts. Kristen, who is preparing for a career in the Army Reserves upon graduation, said that her skills have helped to take her hobby to a new level and prepare healthy meals for her family.
"It's not something that I want to do as a career; I like to do it for fun," Kristen said. "I like to help my teacher out and learning different techniques helps me to better cook at home."

iMessage and FaceTime down. Are you affected?
iMessage and FaceTime are both experiencing outages according to Apple's iCloud system status page, and numerous reports flooding into iMore's various comm channels. Apple says service will be restored asap.
Online continues to be a huge challenge for Apple, and if you haven't already, I invite you to read why I think it's going to be one of Apple's biggest challenges going forward.
As always, let me know if iMessage and FaceTime are working for you, where you are, and when you get your service back.

These are the small size of deer antlers and they are approximately 4-6" in length and 1-1.5" in circumference.
Antlerz are a totally new, 100% natural, mineral rich, long lasting dog chew. The new chew is made from a natural material that is rich in minerals, does not splinter and comes from a completely renewable source: Deer Antlers! Wild deer shed their antlers once a year as part of a natural process, after which the deer re-grow another set. These shed antlers are gathered by ranch workers and transported to QT Dog's manufacturing facility. The antlers are cut to the appropriate size, cleaned, and packaged to produce ANTLERZ™ brand dog chews. ANTLERZ™ hold up substantially longer than most traditional chews made from plastic, bone, or compacted starch. A minerals analysis of ANTLERZ™ show high concentrations of calcium and phosphorus, with trace amounts iron, zinc, and sodium. Unlike processed livestock bones ANTLERZ™ don't chip or splinter when they are being used by even the most aggressive chewing dogs. A dog's chewing action grinds ANTLERZ™ down slowly. ANTLERZ™ are a 100% natural, mineral rich dog chew that contains no plastics, no petrochemicals, no empty starches or artificial flavors. By the way, these chews were recently featured on the "Today Show" as a great new dog product!
***Please be careful when buying Deer Antlers for dogs on the internet, there are now many companies selling products that are so-called "fresh" Antlers for dogs which are not cleaned or sterilized properly. These products will not last nearly as long as the original Antlerz products and are prone to many problems including bacterial issues! We only recommend the best for your pups! ***

Jake Grupp came to the ASPCA to check out smaller dogs, but his girlfriend, Mary Yukevich, urged him to just take a peek at the larger ones. That's when they saw Phoebe, a sweet little Pit mix, sitting quietly in her habitat and wagging her tail hopefully.
"We weren't really expecting to adopt a dog that day," Grupp tells us, "but when we met Phoebe we fell in love."
A visit with Phoebe and an ASPCA behavior counselor sealed the deal, and Phoebe joined the family on the spot.
In the cab ride home, Yukevich knew she'd already fallen hard for Phoebe, but it wasn't until Grupp was down on his luck that he knew Phoebe had stolen his heart for good.
"I had some teeth pulled and was in a lot of pain," Grupp tells us. "Phoebe sat near me all the while, and eventually I invited her to climb into the chair with me. It felt like she was making sure I was OK, even though there wasn't a whole lot she could do."
Phoebe went home already housetrained and knowing a few basic commands, and Grupp and Yukevich spent the first month doing "intense training" with their new pup, deepening their bond and helping their dog become the well-mannered princess she is today.
Soon, Phoebe was working on off-leash training, and the family put it into practice on a recent trip to the beach, where they discovered Phoebe's special talent as a doggie mentor.
"There was a chocolate Lab puppy named Einstein who was afraid of the water," Grupp remembers. "Phoebe would go bounding into the ocean and Einstein would follow her until she went in the water, until eventually he went in. It was really special to see that she encouraged him to take the plunge."
Getting to know Phoebe has even had unexpected effect on Grupp: It changed his mind about Pit Bulls.
"I was wary about adopting a Bully mix at first," he says, "but after having had Phoebe since June I'm extremely pleased. I'm glad that she picked us that day!"
We are, too, guys!
Although I have a Red Rescue Lhasa Apso named Daisy whom I adore, my 2nd choice would be a Pittie .. after the Vick incident, it completely changed my mind and others about this wonderful this breed is.. I love them .. I haven't met one that I didn't love .. so out of such horrific circumstances, came an awareness to everyone how sweet the breed is and loving ... so everything serves a purpose ... out of evil came so much good .. God's Blessings to all who are supporting these beautiful creatures ...
Thank you so much for posting this, brought tears in my eyes... I went to adopt a small dog to shelter in Manhattan and brought home some "boolly" type female dog too. She is my angel now, fantastic with babies, children and dogs, super clever dog overall...after my surgery she was sleeping next to me and her head was always right next to my wound...Those kind of dogs, pittie or staffi kind can be SOOOOO amazing that all this rap is truly 101% wrong...humans should truly look into themselves and stop blaming innocent animals for their own mistakes...and I HIGHLY recommend pitties or staffies or mixes of these breeds for family dogs...just train them good and love will do the rest :)
What a wonderful story!!! It just melts my heart to hear that another 'Bully' has found their way to a home that is deserving of their love. Have a fabulous life together. You are all in my prayers...
Love the story! Thank God this couple found Phoebe but I really hate that word bully. It's just used way too much about this breed. I rescued my 2 yr. old pit, Renegade, and he loves to give out kisses to anyone that gives him attention. Maybe too much kissing. I remember when Dobermans, shepards, and rotties were characterized as bully dogs now the Pits get tagged with this name. Can't we use a different name! Anyway, congrats to Phoebe for finding her forever family.
I have 4. I started rescuing them from animal control so they would not be "humanely" euthanized. My biggest pup is a female full Pit. She was about 6 months old whene I adopted her. The day I got her she was scheduled to be "humanely" put down and the overlooked doing it as scheduled. I named her Lucky Miss. I could not have any better kids.
My Mallory was the sweetest dog I've ever known ! She was a pit mix who came to me via a boyfriend. When he left he left her too saying I was a better animal caretaker. She lived 13.5 years and only stopped then because of epilepsy. she especially liked to go camping and would crawl down into the sleeping bag with me.
I rescued a Pit Bull at 4 weeks old. His name is Buster. I was terrified of the breed and never imagined that I would ever own one. He is the love of my life.
I must admit that, although we've had all kinds of animals growing up, I was fearful of pits and their respective mixes. It wasn't until, a few years ago, I began volunteering at our local 100% NO-KILL, ALL VOLUNTEER animal shelter that I got to know the breed. TV shows like "Pit Bulls & Parolees" and "Pit Boss" also made me curious. Although I work with cats, I've gotten to know and absolutely LOVE the pits and pit mixes we've had pass through our doors. Each one is treated individually to include temperment testing and each one is placed accordingly.
I am madly in love with this breed now. Who'd have thought that 2 TV shows and animal shelter activism would totally change my mind? People...give these dogs a break. They are wonderful. I could go on for hours on all the happy homes we've seen placing a pit/mix - it's the people, NOT the dog.
1. Lucifer and Asmodeus (Luci and Asmo to friends)--guard-trained Dobies, and when they were off-duty they were very playful and patient. Luci once got stuck in a narrow gap between buildings while chasing a rabbit; and every time we reached in to comfort her while the firefighters worked on getting her unstuck, she covered as much of us as she could reach with doggy kisses (I worked at the store next to the one they guarded, and we became good friends during their off-duty times).
2. Biggy--pure pit, all boy! He belongs to a nephew of mine, who has trained him with a special trick: you start saying his full name, "Notorious B. I. G.", and no matter where in the house he is, you never get to the G without being suddenly smothered with kisses!
3. Blue--pit lady who we doggysat while another nephew and his family were househunting. Loving sweetie who must have been a lapdog in her last incarnation.
So much for the "inherent viciousness" of the breeds...
Although I have only owned Dobermans any Pitbull I have met at pet outings are just as sweet as any other dog.Just like Dobes, Rotties and GSD they need a proper owner that will bring out their best instead of making them something they DON'T want to be.Give them lots of love and they will return it ten-fold.All the dogs I have mentioned would rather sit in your lap than cause harm.

The Impact of Racism and Prejudice on Children
Few fans realized that the inspiring force behind The Cosby Show and its spin-off, A Different World, was Dr. Alvin Poussaint, a psychiatrist known more for his insightful studies into the needs of the African American family than for his screenwriting talents.
Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Poussaint was chosen as script consultant for the two NBC series after his passionate advocacy for more positive black images in American culture came to the attention of the shows' creators. His influence helped break new ground in the depiction of African Americans on television.
Poussaint has advised the State Department, the Department of Health, and even the FBI on racial issues. He is the coauthor of Raising Black Children (1992), as well as his latest work, Lay My Burden Down: Suicide and the Mental Health Crisis Among African Americans (2000).
Born in East Harlem, Poussaint attended Columbia and received his M.D. from Cornell. He received his psychiatric training at UCLA. From 1965-67 he was Southern Field Director of the Medical Committee for Human Rights in Jackson, Mississippi, providing medical care to civil rights workers and aiding in the desegregation of hospitals and health facilities throughout the South. He joined Harvard Medical School in 1969.
Poussaint speaks with refreshing candor on the dynamics of prejudice and the necessities of diversity. He also educates on the use of the media as a learning tool and the impact of televised violence on children and families.

Dharma Talk
Situated in the Angeles mountains, only half an hour drive from Claremont, is one of the few monastic training centers for Japanese Rinzai Zen Buddhism in the West: Mt. Baldy Zen Center. For the evening gathering at the Athenaeum we are honored to announce that Kyozan Joshu Roshi, 96 years old abbot and Zen Master at Mt. Baldy Zen Center, offered to be our guest and to outline and share his teachings.
Kyozan Joshu Roshi was born in 1907, ordained a monk in 1921 and, after being an abbot in Japan, came to America in 1962. He has been here ever since, teaching his unique style of Zen to all interested students. Mt. Baldy Zen Center is his main training domain. In spite of his age he keeps traveling to many affiliated centers all around the globe. His continued presence, energy and compassion is a true inspiration to all of his students and friends.
Roshi's teaching is woven around the insight that we all are continuously born from one single source, the source of everything, even of space and time. Being born, we find ourselves surrounded by opposing forces: heaven and earth, men and women, past and future etc. By making relationship to both forces equally and fully, we learn to achieve piece of mind, and to return to our original nature.
This evening's presentation is made possible by the generosity of CMC alumnus, L. J. Kutten '74 and is the fifth lecture in the series on philosophy and religion.
At 4:00 p.m. interested persons are also invited to join a short class in zazen- the zen style of seated meditation, lead by a Mt. Baldy monk. This class will be held in the Freeberg Lounge at the Athenaeum.
The Popular Origins of Mexican National ldentity
One cannot understand recent developments in Mexican politics, and even more significantly, the relationship between Mexico and the United States, without knowledge of how Mexico developed its sense of national identity. William Beezley, who for many years has explored ordinary Mexican attitudes toward numerous social and political issues, examines folk art, fiestas, and itinerant puppet theater, to explain Mexican national identity in the nineteenth century.
Beezley identifies the critical role small entrepreneurs have played in the formation of national identity, and the incidental result of their efforts to make a living at a time when national campaigns and grassroots programs failed to create nationalism.
Professor Beezley has authored numerous books on Mexico, including the prestigeous Oxford History of Mexico (2000) and Judas at the Jockey Club (1987), both History Book Club selections. He is the coeditor of two leading series on Latin America published by Scholarly Resources and has received numerous awards from professional organizations and universities for outstanding teaching. Beezley is a professor of history at the University of Arizona and directs the Oaxaca Graduate Field Research School in Modern Mexican History.
Are Some Things Unforgivable?
THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 2003 12:15 p.m.
Once in a very great while we meet someone whose courage inspires-even provokes-us. Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela is one of those rare few. Her book, A Human Being Died That Night: A South African Story of Forgiveness (2002), about her work on South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission with Archbishop Desmond Tutu will change the world's understanding of remorse and forgiveness.
Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela was born in Langa Township in Cape Town, South Africa. She completed her undergraduate studies at Fort Hare University, and her Ph.D. degree from the University of Cape Town. Currently, Gobodo-Madikizela is associate professor of psychology at the University of Cape Town; adjunct professor in the Unilever Ethics Centre at the University of Natal; and faculty affiliate for the Coexistence program at the Brandeis Ethics Center.
As the only psychologist on the TRC's Human Rights Violations committee in the Western Cape, Pumla made the extraordinary decision to interview Eugene de Kock-a man known as "Prime Evil" for his relentless pursuit and extermination of antiapartheid activists.
Pumla met de Kock in Pretoria's maximum-security prison where he currently serves two life sentences and 212 years for crimes against against humanity. It was here that Pumla began a journey that would lead her to examine the far reaches of human cruelty and cause her to redefine the value of remorse and the limits of forgiveness.
Pumla tells the gripping story of how one of the most depraved state-sanctioned killers of the last century came to be, and the ways in which he rationalized his actions. She also explains how she-and others like her who grew up in black South African Townships-struggles with the sometimes contradictory impulses to hold accountable and to forgive.
In the book we listen in on Pumla's conversations with de Kock and witness his extraordinary awakening of conscience. This transformation raises one of the most complicated questions of our time: What does it mean when we discover that someone so evil is also as frighteningly human as we are?
Following her luncheon talk author Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela will sign copies of her book in the Athenaeum lobby. International Place and the Athenaeum are hosting the lunch, which is served at 11:45 a.m. Pumla will speak at 12:15 p.m.
Reservations are required to attend the lunch. The talk is open to all.
Conflict Management and Resolution: Labor and Unions
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union earned frontpage headlines in west coast newspapers for much of 2002. The ILWU strike reminded Americans that even in the new age of technology, managing labor conflict and maintaining workers' rights are still critical to a functioning society. The intervention by the Bush administration in the port crisis, a move that brought the controversy to national attention, forced the laborers back to work for a "cooling down period" during which negotiations took place between employers and the ILWU. The issue remains unresolved, and thus continues to provide a model of conflict management in action.
Peter Olney, associate director of the Institute for Labor and Employment at the University of California, Berkeley, has been involved in labor conflict and negotiations for about thirty years. He has been active in a handful of important strikes, unions, and labor movements, including the Los Angeles Manufacturing Action Project, the justice for janitors campaign, and the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
Between 1997 and 2001 he was the director of organizing for the ILWU itself, and has important insights into the negotiations and processes that took place during this still current conflict.
Peter Olney received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Massachusetts and his Master's degree in business administration from UCLA.
Peter Olney's visit to the Athenaeum is the first in a series of presentations this semester that address conflict management and resolution sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute. Future programs include discussion of combating gang violence and diplomatic strategies in international conflict resolution.

The Use of Genetically Modified Organisms in Agriculture
Despite the development of new agricultural species such as "Golden Rice" and pest resistant crops that make farming more effective and efficient, the use of genetically modified (GM) organisms has still been quite controversial. People often worry about the effects of consuming GM food on their health or the impacts of GM crops on the environment.
Robert Goldberg is a professor of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and one of the world's leading experts on Plant Genomics. He is also codirector of the Seed Institute, which is a partnership with the Plant Biotech Company Ceres Inc. The overarching goal of his scientific research is to understand how to make a seed by identifying and understanding the function of every gene in the plant chromosomes. Once these functions are understood, seeds can be genetically created to be bigger and/or more nutritious, which could greatly increase the world's food supply. The work in his laboratory currently focuses on how plant cells become specialized during development, which can eventually be used to develop new breeding strategies for hybrid crop plants.
Goldberg has received many awards and honors over the years for both his scientific research and teaching, including his recent election into the National Academy of Sciences. In addition, he just completed a documentary film project about the history of genetically modified organisms in agriculture titled Changing Nature: Where Food Came From.
Goldberg's talk is part of the series Critical Issues in the Environment, sponsored by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Roberts Environmental Center, and the David E. French lecture fund.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great card- envelopes too big
We really loved the easy personalization and designs. Once we received the cards, although they were smaller that we thought they'd be (but I am just fine with that), we discovered the envelopes that are sent with/paired with this product are too big and it noticeably looks like they aren't the right ones. :/
Loved it!
We ordered the smaller magnet and when it came in the mail I was very happy with the size, the style and the quality!
Beautiful presentation and excellent quality
I would recommend to order one first be sure that is what you want. The final product was excellent.
Fantastic Quality at a Great Price
Magnet Street has so many options and the quality on our save the date postcards is amazing. Not only was I able to customize our cards, I saved 40% with a Promo Code (awesome!!). The site was easy to use, affordable, and their material is high quality. I would recommend Magnet Street to everyone! We are mailing our save the dates this week and cannot wait for their reactions!
Awesome quality
I was a little hesitant when I saw the website about how thick the magnet would be and the picture quality. I ordered the sample and everything arrived in an awesome kit along with an actual magnet. After I ordered mine and they were delivered, I was so HAPPY with how they turned out. Not too bulky and the picture quality was great. It came in a cool box with a whole packet about invitations too. Everyone loves them! Can't wait to get my invitations from them. This company is amazing and makes me confident in anything I'll order from them.

The nomination of Janet Yellen to become head of the Federal Reserve System has set off a flurry of media stories. Since she will be the first woman to occupy that position, we can only hope that this will not mean that any criticism of what she does will be attributed to sex bias or to a "war on women."
The Federal Reserve has become such a major player in the American economy that it needs far more scrutiny and criticism than it has received, regardless of who heads it. Ms. Yellen, a former professor of economics at
Janet Yellen represents the Keynesian economics that once dominated economic theory and policy like a national religion — until it encountered two things: Milton Friedman and the stagflation of the 1970s. At the height of the Keynesian influence, it was widely believed that government policy-makers could choose a judicious trade-off between the inflation rate and the rate of unemployment. This trade-off was called the Phillips Curve, in honor of an economist at the London School of Economics.
Professor Milton Friedman of the
The ultimate discrediting of this Phillips Curve theory was the rising inflation and unemployment, at the same time in the 1970s, in what came to be called "stagflation" — a combination of rising inflation and a stagnant economy with high unemployment. Nevertheless, the Keynesian economists have staged a political comeback during the Obama administration. Janet Yellen's nomination to head the Federal Reserve is the crowning example of that comeback.
Ms. Yellen asks: "Do policy-makers have the knowledge and ability to improve macroeconomic outcomes rather than making matters worse?" And she answers: "Yes." The former economics professor is certainly asking the right questions — and giving the wrong answers. Her first question, whether free market economies can achieve full employment without government intervention, is a purely factual question that can be answered from history. For the first 150 years of the
No depression during all that time was as catastrophic as the Great Depression of the 1930s, when both the Federal Reserve System and Presidents Herbert
Unemployment peaked at 9 percent in December 1929 and was back down to 6.3 percent by June 1930, when the first major federal intervention took place under Herbert Hoover. The unemployment decline then reversed, rising to hit double digits six months later. As
Conversely, when President Warren G. Harding faced an annual unemployment rate of 11.7 percent in 1921, he did absolutely nothing, except for cutting government spending. Keynesian economists would say that this was exactly the wrong thing to do. History, however, says that unemployment the following year went down to 6.7 percent — and, in the year after that, 2.4 percent. Under Calvin Coolidge, the ultimate in non-interventionist government, the annual unemployment rate got down to 1.8 percent. How does the track record of Keynesian intervention compare to that?

RAMALLAH, West Bank – Moad Arqoub, a Palestinian graduate student, was bouncing around the Internet the other day and came across a site that surprised and attracted him. It was a Facebook page where Israelis and Palestinians and other Arabs were talking about everything at once: the prospects of peace, of course, but also soccer, photography and music.
"I joined immediately because right now, without a peace process and with Israelis and Palestinians physically separated, it is really important for us to be interacting without barriers," Mr. Arqoub said as he sat at an outdoor cafe in this Palestinian city.
That is how an article in today's New York Times by Ethan Bronner begins. But much of Bronner's article is misleading and possibly false, as The Electronic Intifada discovered.
The Facebook page Bronner profiles is called YaLa-Young Leaders and is founded by Uri Savir, a former Israeli diplomat and head of the Peres Center for Peace. It is supposed to be a forum for interaction and normalization between Israeli and Palestinian youth in particular, and Israeli and Arab youth in general.
It is endorsed by Israeli President Shimon Peres, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, and Tony Blair – figures more likely to repel than attract Palestinian youth.
But Bronner's story reads more like a promotional piece than a report. He appears to have relied only on the page's creators for information, and presented people involved in managing the project as if they were unaffiliated users. Whether he was duped, careless or engaging in advocacy, Bronner's report raises many questions about his standards of reporting from Palestine.
Moreover, while falsely presenting the project as popular with Palestinians and Arabs, Bronner ignores the vast body of Palestinian public opinion that opposes such projects for violating the Palestinian civil society call for the academic and cultural boycott of Israel.
Who are Moad Arqoub and Hamze Awawde?
Moad Arqoub and Hamze Awawde are real people whom Bronner quotes in his story as if they were just ordinary Palestinian users of the YaLa Facebook page.
But examination of online records shows that Arqoub and Awawde are likely involved in the YaLa project, and already knew each other long before YaLa was created through their work with and participation in MEPEACE, an organization and Ning social network founded by an Israeli activist, Eyal Raviv.
Bronner's claim that Moad Arqoub was merely "bouncing around the Internet the other day and came across a site that surprised and attracted him" is highly suspect and not credible as the evidence will show.
YaLa's Facebook page was apparently created in early May (the first postings are on 4 May). Arqoub began participating on YaLa's Facebook page as early as 22 May.
Both Arqoub and Hamze Awawde "liked" a posting from that day which announced the upcoming creation of a discussion forum.
Awawde also makes an appearance in Bronner's story and is pictured in it:
Most of the talk seems to be between people in Ramallah and Tel Aviv. But Hamze Awawde, a 21-year-old student here in Ramallah said he got "friend" requests on Yala from Morocco and Egypt.
He said: "I asked one Egyptian why he had contacted me and why he was taking part in this, and he said: 'After the revolution, everything is permitted. I want to see what Israelis are like.'"
This is Bronner's only reference to Awawde, presenting him – like Arqoub – as just another user.
But what Bronner does not disclose is that by every indication Awawde is a representative of the YaLa project, and there are strong indications that Arqoub assists him. Moreover, apart from fleeting comments here and there, Arqoub and Awawde appear to be the only Palestinians with any involvement or investment in YaLa.
Who manages the YaLa Facebook page?
Awawde's role as a representative of YaLa can be easily seen from his frequent postings on the page's wall – answering questions from other users and posting information about a photo contest that Bronner mentions in the article.
Awawde used the YaLa logo as his avatar on his personal Facebook page and when responding to questions and leaving comments (Awawde replaced the avatar with the picture of him that appeared in The New York Times a few hours after Bronner's article was published online).
Hamze Awawdeh.png
While Hamze Awawde clearly appeared to be acting as a representative for YaLa, Arqoub's role is slightly less clear. But the nature of his involvement in it and the fact that it began a lot further back than "the other day," as well as his prior relationship with Eyal Raviv and Awawde through the very similar project MEPEACE casts severe doubt on Bronner's account.
At times, Arqoub appears to assist Awawde in representing the project. For example on 19 June, Arqoub answers a question posed in Hebrew by another user about the date of the photo contest.
On 16 June, Eyal Raviv posted congratulations on the YaLa wall for reaching the milestone of 1,200 fans.
Congratulations on....png
Both Awawde and Arqoub responded enthusiastically, Arqoub writing, "Ahlan Eyal Raviv Fast progress :1,277 now ! we will be 1 000 000 soon Inshallah :)" – suggestive that Arqoub felt some responsibility for ensuring the success of the page.
Awawde and Arqoub already knew each other through MEPEACE
MEPEACE was founded in 2008 according to a Haaretz profile and has similar goals to YaLa: encouraging normalization between Palestinian and Israeli youth.
On his Facebook profile, Awawde lists under "Employers": "mepeace.org with Eyal Raviv."
Arqoub has also been involved in MEPEACE since 2008, the same year it was founded. In December last year, for example, Arqoub is acknowledged along with Raviv for work on an MEPEACE video called "Middle East Peace start with each of us" [sic].
Photographs posted publicly on mepeace.org show Awawde and Arqoub seated together in a January 2010 MEPEACE event. The two are recognizable in the photographs, and images of the same event posted on Facebook are tagged with Moad Arqoub's name and describe the event as a "Leadership Training" held in the occupied West Bank town of Beit Jala. Other photographs taken at the same event show that Eyal Raviv was also present. Awawde is pictured at many other MEPEACE events in 2010 and 2011.

Thus, Awawde, Arqoub and Raviv are part of a tight "peace dialogue" circle. The notion that Arqoub just happened upon the YaLa site serendipitously as Bronner claims is simply not credible. Awawde and Arqoub have not responded to emails requesting comment, but this article will be updated with their responses if they do.
Raviv offers congratulations for New York Times article
After Bronner's profile of YaLa was published on The New York Times website, Raviv, Arqoub and Awawde quickly began to circulate it among their networks, especially on mepeace.org and Facebook. Raviv posted the following message on Facebook: "Congratulations to MEPEACE Peacemakers Hamze Awawde and Moad Arqoub on their success and sensational story in the New York Times about YaLa-Young Leaders."
Congratulations to....png
Exaggerated claims of participation
Bronner writes:
Called Facebook.com/yalaYL, the site, created by a former Israeli diplomat and unambiguous about its links to Israel, has had 91,000 views in its first month. Of its 22,500 active users, 60 percent are Arabs – mostly Palestinians, followed by Egyptians, Jordanians, Tunisians, Moroccans, Lebanese and Saudis.
Yet close examination of the Facebook page finds little to substantiate this. When first viewed by The Electronic Intifada at approximately 6:30 p.m. in Chicago on 9 July, the page had just 2,971 fans. This rose above 3,000 within hours, almost certainly as a result of the publicity from Bronner's article.
The page's wall and discussions reveal little activity and much of that is by Israelis. Very few Arabs participate, with the exception of Awawde and Arqoub. An early participant in MEPEACE had the same observation about that group in 2008 – the vast majority of the activity was by and about Israelis.
Bronner ignores mainstream Palestinian opinion
Bronner presents YaLa as unambiguously positive – a "virtual bridge" – and even claims that:
the Facebook page has surprised those involved by the enthusiasm it has generated, suggesting that the Facebook-driven revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt may offer guidance for coexistence efforts as well.
Not only is there no evidence for this enthusiasm on YaLa's page, but there is strong general resistance to such normalization projects within Palestinian civil society and in the Arab world more broadly. These initiatives are opposed because they reward Israel with normal relations and integration without requiring it to end its oppression of Palestinians and its occupation of Arab land. They may also violate the Palestinian civil society call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) as well as the call for cultural and academic boycott of Israel.
The guidelines of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel are explicit:
Cultural events and projects involving Palestinians and/or Arabs and Israelis that promote "balance" between the "two sides" in presenting their respective narratives, as if on par, or are otherwise based on the false premise that the colonizers and the colonized, the oppressors and the oppressed, are equally responsible for the "conflict," are intentionally deceptive, intellectually dishonest and morally reprehensible. Such events and projects, often seeking to encourage dialogue or "reconciliation between the two sides" without addressing the requirements of justice, promote the normalization of oppression and injustice. All such events and projects that bring Palestinians and/or Arabs and Israelis together, unless framed within the explicit context of opposition to occupation and other forms of Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, are strong candidates for boycott.
There is nothing on YaLa's page that expresses opposition to Israeli occupation and oppression, and indeed Bronner quoted Salah al-Ayan, "a Palestinian Authority official and a friend of Mr. Savir's who is helping with the site" saying:
"Our goal is to start by talking about art and sports. Since Israelis and Palestinians don't meet face to face anymore, this is a virtual place to meet. I was happy when I saw that some Palestinians had voted for Israeli photos in the contest."
Palestinian youth reject normalization
Last year, dozens of Palestinian youth organizations throughout Palestine and the diaspora signed a joint statement condemning such initiatives under the banner of "Palestinian youth united against normalization with Israel." The statement rejected:
the efforts of Israel and its apologists around the world, who aim to direct our efforts at convincing Israel of our inalienable rights rather than resisting its oppression through legitimate and legal means to obtain them; especially organizations that aim to convince us that that conflict is but a symptom of psychological barriers that can disappear through dialogue with the other. Such organizations they completely ignore the reality which is Israel's oppression and systematic discrimination against the Palestinian people. Organizations like Seeds of Peace, One Voice, NIR School, IPCRI, Panorama, and others specifically target Palestinian youth to engage them in dialogue with Israelis without recognizing the inalienable rights of Palestinians, or aiming to end Israel's occupation, colonization, and apartheid.
While Bronner might disagree with these positions, his job is to report the views of Palestinians, not to help promote astroturf organizations where a tiny minority of Palestinians are falsely portrayed as speaking for a nonexistent groundswell.
Where are the Palestinian organizations YaLa boasts about?
On the info section of its Facebook page, YaLa makes the following claim:
YaLa is an opportunity provided by Israeli and Palestinian organizations, led by the Peres Center for Peace and the Palestinian Wide Link Media company, as well as international business, cultural and sports entities….
Little is known about the Wide Link Media company. A domain name (wlinkmedia.com) that is registered to the company in Ramallah is devoid of content and up for sale. A LinkedIn profile for Wide Link Media names the director of the company as Mamoun Matar, who elsewhere identifies himself as a media consultant and also has a profile on Eyal Raviv's MEPEACE social network.
There is no indication of any participation from grassroots Palestinian organizations.
Ethan Bronner's report is no more than a press release from the YaLa-Young Leaders initiative, which is itself nothing more than another Israeli attempt to use social media for hasbara.


text: INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Roughly 25 people turned out for a forum last Wednesday for the two candidates vying Seat No. 1 this November on the Washoe County CommissionThe candidates - Andrew Diss, a Democrat, and Marsha Berkbigler, a Republican - answered various questions about issues affecting both Washoe County and Incline Village, and some of the larger hurdles facing the commission in 2013 and beyond. Below are their answers to some of the questions.On what it means to be a commissionerAndrew Diss: "It's listening to your concerns. We are a public service. That means hearing your questions and concerns and the things that you are worried about and being your voice at the county level. Incline Village pays a very large portion of the county's revenues. I forget the exact figure, it's somewhere like only 50 percent comes back ... less than 50 percent comes back into the area. I see my role as trying to bring a lot of that money, try to keep as much money ... here up in Incline."Marsha Berkbigler: "Represent the constituents. That means this part of the district and also the valley part of the district. It's also communication, being sure you know what the interests and the concerns of the constituents are. Communication is key. The fire divorce (in the valley) is an example I go to. The fire divorce, why didn't the county commission go out and speak to the citizens? It's not clear to me why the commissioners haven't stepped up to the plate and realized this is an issue."On the top issues facing the county the next two yearsBerkbigler: "There are a number of issues. An attempt to resolve the ongoing lack of communication between the city of Reno and the county been an issue going on for a long period of time, that needs to be resolved. It's no question that jobs and the economy are the No. 1 issue impacting the county right now. Nevada has suffered probably more than any other state. Unemployment rates are higher than any other states. We are not going to be able to tax our way out of this problem. Senior centers, libraries ... education is very, very key to this county. Libraries are the one thing the county commission has control over in terms of education. We need to find funds to reopen some that already have been closed."Diss: "I do believe the economy and jobs situation in Nevada has to be our No. 1 priority on the commission. We have a lot of hardworking Nevada families, people are losing their jobs, can't afford to make their home payments, they mortgage payments. I'd like to take advantage some of this money that's come to the state (in the National Mortgage Settlement), $90 million that I feel has to be earmarked for mortgage relief purposes. Jobs and the economy ... and keeping an open dialogue with each other. This election is going to change a lot of things - local governments have a bad rep right now, they're not getting along and not listening to the people. IVGID and the commission as well, we need open dialogue and civil discourse."Position on the Incline tax revoltDiss: "The county has boggled it from the start, fought it tooth and nail every step of the way. Ever since the Supreme Court ruling came down, the county's been extremely slow in processing those refunds. They thought the Supreme Court was gonna come down on their side, and they weren't prepared to process those refunds. I think they're dragging their feet; I think these refunds should be coming back a lot sooner."Berkbigler: "It should be settled and it should be settled now. They've bungled it from the beginning. If they had settled this way back when, it would be over, instead of the millions now. And that's just for the three Supreme Court settlements. I understand there are more possible. (The county needs) to resolve this. This is raising interest ratios at a ridiculous amount. And they should resolve it not just because it's the right thing to do, but because this county is losing more and more money the longer they wait and let this go."On what they would do to speed up the paybacksDiss: "I would go to treasurer's office, say 'what the heck is taking so long' - put (Tammi Davis before the board) and hold her feet to the fire ... why are we barely 50 percent of the way through this?"Berkbigler: Well, her answer - I've already asked her - is she doesn't have enough staff to process it. That is not acceptable. You need to find the staff to process it. If I'm elected, I need to meet with other commissioners, and as a commission, let's resolve this ... and work with staff to hire more staff to get this processed."On if they would support Incline seeking to become its own township, town or countyDiss: "I'd be in favor of a more home rule system for Incline. The problem is, though, there are four other commissioners who don't represent them and don't take their feelings to heart."Berkbigler: "I'm fully supportive of an idea of that type. Anything you do you're going to have to go to the state legislature and get approval."On what challenges they see for Incline in the proposed TRPA Regional Plan UpdateBerkbigler: "Well I haven't read the Regional Plan Update ... I'd like to reserve my opinion until I see the full update."Diss: "I've been looking through some of the recommendations, I see a lot of improvements going on, changing land coverage regulations, incentives for people who use pervious driveways and decks, a form of a one-stop shop for business licenses. There are good things in there, but the No. 1 thing is we have to keep in mind to balance environmental concerns with development concerns. I do feel that if you're going to err on one side or the other... then it's protecting the environment. Business and developments are dependent on a healthy lake. For me, the environmental concerns are the No. 1 priority."On why people should vote for eachBerkbigler: "I've many years of experience, I've been a business person in this area for over 35 years ...I have a huge background in Nevada and Northern Nevada particularly. That's the value that I bring, I have this background that's going to be very valuable to sitting on this commission."Diss: "I see this election is a public service job interview, and I've dedicated adult life to public service. In working with US Senate, with my legislative experience, I will be able to hit the ground running."

The Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern enjoys a central location in the «City of Lights», close to the historic old town centre with lots of shopping opportunities and the KKL Luzern Culture & Convention Centre. Our 101 elegantly furnished and air-conditioned rooms and suites boast stunning views of Lake Lucerne and the mountain scenery beyond.
The Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern is far more than just a 5-star hotel. Its guest list dates back to 1845 and reads like a who's who of the international elite. Mark Twain, Leo Tolstoy, Roger Moore, Richard Wagner and Anastacia are just some of the illustrious names to have resided here. Their stories can be alived since 2014 in our newly renovated rooms and suites. And yet the Hotel is still run by the same family, now in its fifth generation; it has retained its understated manner and kept its feet firmly on the ground, dispensing with any airs and graces. Undoubtedly one of the many reasons why guests from all over the world see it as their home from home.
When the Zeugheer Hall was inaugurated in 1865, the French Empress Eugénie residing at the Hotel at the time praised the premises, stating there could be few halls of greater splendour even in France. Little has changed in that respect since then. On the contrary: the Neo-Renaissance style of the Schweizerhof is more resplendent today than ever before. And while it nurtures its traditions, it certainly lives in the present. Indeed, its trendsetting infrastructure satisfies all the requirements of modern-day amenities.
With its nine magnificent function rooms the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern is ideally suited for events of all kinds, of which there are plenty here. Indeed, the Hotel has made a name for itself internationally as a festival hotel, and its Bar is a popular place to rendezvous in Lucerne at any time of the day.
The Hotel's two restaurants, the Pavillon andthe Galerie, are renowned for their fine regional cuisine and serve the best chateaubriand in town. Those wishing to indulge in even greater pleasures will be inspired by the Wellness & Beauty facilities on the first floor of the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern. The spa is dedicated to achieving the perfect balance between a healthy body and a relaxed mind, with only the stunning views of the lake and the Alps beyond likely to set the pulse racing.
The Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern enjoys a prime location in the heart of Switzerland, with magnificent views of the lake and the Alps. It is situated right on the lakeshore promenade in the centre of Lucerne's historic old town, close to the railway station and lots of shopping opportunities, and only a few minutes' walk from the KKL.Route planning Voucher

CONCORD, N.C. - Dropping a team-high 19 points with 10 rebounds, Shelley Reese helped guide Pfeiffer University to an 80-61 victory at host Barber Scotia on Friday night. The win makes four-straight for the Lady Falcons improving to 5-3 on the year while the Sabers drop to 3-13.
Reese was one of five Lady Falcons to post double-figures as Brittany Cox followed Reese with 16. Vontenea Williams added a dozen going 8-for-10 from the charity stripe while Jodie Lemons and Vontreece Hayes each contributed 10 off the bench. Cox finished just one board shy of a double-double while Kellie Rhoney dished out a team-high six assists.
Pfeiffer would knock down 10 shots from long range and carry a 53-47 rebound advantage during the win. A season-high 12 steals also accompanied the Lady Falcons in the 19-point win.
Pfeiffer will now look to their final non-conference and contest of 2011 heading to Brevard on Monday afternoon. Conference play for the Lady Falcons begins on January 3rd.

I was introduced to Green Water in 1970. At that time the only place you could find it was Bergdorfs in NYC, then later at Jacqlines in SF. Even trying to buy it in Paris was a challenge. It is nice to have a source for my favorite fragrance. Thanks

TRUCKEE, Calif. — A 51-year-old Reno man died Thursday after a skiing accident at Northstar California, officials have confirmed.
According to a statement from the resort located north of Lake Tahoe, Northstar ski patrol responded at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday to a report of an injury on the East Ridge trail located in the Mt. Pluto area.
Upon arrival, patrollers administered medical care to the man, who was unconscious. The skier, who eventually died as a result of his injuries, was wearing a helmet at the time of his injury, according to Northstar.
The man was identified Friday as Scott Fritz, from Reno, according to various media reports.
"Northstar management and staff and the Vail Resorts family extend their deepest sympathy and support to the family and friends of the skier," the resort said in a statement obtained Saturday. "The resort would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Northstar Fire Department and CareFlight staff in the rescue efforts."
Few details are known as to the exact cause of death. According to a story from the Reno Gazette-Journal, Dena Erwin, a spokeswoman for the Placer County Sheriff's Office, said no one witnessed the accident, and Fritz "most likely" struck a tree.

Mere Christianity/Screwtape Letters/Great Divorce - Box Set
Mere Christianity/Screwtape Letters/Great Divorce - Box Set (Hardcover)
Related Editions
For the first time ever, three of C.S. Lewis's most popular and celebrated spiritual classics come packaged together in this collector's box gift set: Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce.
According to Kathleen Norris, "Lewis seeks in Mere Christianity to help us see religion with fresh eyes, as a radical faith whose adherents might be likened to an underground group gathering in a war zone, a place where evil seems to have the upper hand, to hear messages of hope from the other side" (from the foreword). One of the most popular and beloved introductions to Christian faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide and its popularity continues to grow. The book brings together Lewis's legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."
A masterpiece of satire, The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptationand triumph over itever written.
In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The main character finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil and what is really at stake in this life. In Lewis's own words, If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven, we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell.'
About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.
