Comments about FSA Pro Road Chainring:
I actually warped/bent the middle ring on 39t, 5-arm 130 BCD version of this FSA chainring. I'd like submit that as a humble brag of my massive pedaling torque, but that would be misplaced. The middle chain ring actually bent noticeably outward (toward the big ring) between two of the chainring arms. Resulting in poor shifting, an uneven feel to the pedal stroke, and occasional derailments. I can only attribute this to poor design/material quality and (alas!) not to my uncontainable cycling powers. I am a biggish person (230 lbs) and I tend to carry loads on my commute. But I never had a similar issue under similar load on the original Shimano rings on this same crankset. Nor did I ever experience such a problem on similar SRAM/Truvativ or Campy cranksets.
I was able to temporarily fix the problem by removing the chainring and pounding it flat with a hammer, but I was happy to finally switch to a more substantive chainring.

For the kid on the go!I have an 18 month old daughter, and it seems like she is always on the go! And when she goes, she loves taking her toys with her. This buggy is great for that. It has a soft interior, so none of her toys get banged up. The buggy itself is built real sturdy, and the wheels roll smoothly. It was the perfect answer for our daughters desire to take all her stuff with her when she goes!

In a study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages, for the underlying components of the S&P 500, Robert Half International Inc. (RHI) has taken over the #63 spot from Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG), according to ETF Channel. Below is a chart of Robert Half International Inc. versus Harley-Davidson Inc plotting their respective rank within the S&P 500 over time (RHI plotted in blue; HOG plotted in green):
In forming the rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the underlying components were ranked according to those averages. Investors often interpret analyst opinions from different angles — a popular analyst pick could mean that many sharp minds individually came to the same bullish conclusion, and therefore the stock should do well... but it could also mean that if the company makes any slight stumble, that would come as a negative surprise and cause a downward impact on the stock.
The Current Top 25 Broker Analyst Picks of the S&P 500 »
From the other direction, when companies have a low rank among analysts, it isn't necessarily the case that investors should conclude that the stock will perform poorly. It can mean that of course, but: a bullish investor who can make a case for a positive future catalyst could also take the contrarian angle and recognize that there is lots of room for upside since the stock is presently so out of favor.For these reasons, we at ETF Channel find value to putting together these rankings, because both the top and the bottom ends of the lists can often make for some interesting stock picking ideas for further research.

On the Caspian Sea, Baku contains UNESCO-listed monuments including the medieval Maiden's Tower fortification alongside lavish recent developments such as the eye-popping Zaha Hadid-designed Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre.
While the city's new waterfront promenade and designer-filled shopping areas such as 28th of May Street reflect Baku's recent oil wealth, you can also find Old City streets filled with traditional carpet shops and tea houses and open air restaurants grilling Caspian fish. Baku flights are also a starting point for exploring the rest of Azerbaijan. Within easy day trip reach of Baku are the natural gas flames of Yanar Dag's burning mountain and the prehistoric rock carvings and bubbling mud volcanoes of Gobustan. Further afield but within a morning's travel are broad, sandy beaches, the forested Caucasus Mountains and charming, ancient towns like leafy, little-explored Shaki.

Baku Airport lies 12 miles east of the city centre and is connected to the city by an express bus service that takes 30 to 40 minutes. Within the city, Baku is served by a two-line metro system and many bus services, while the city centre is compact enough to be largely walkable.
A new terminal with more shops and restaurants is due to open at Baku airport at some point in 2013. In the meantime, the current terminal offers duty free shopping and international designer goods from brands such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Montblanc watches, and a few decent canteen-style places to eat and drink.

Meeting with Craven-Pamlico Christian Coalition members recently, Craven Community College leaders said the college library has a list with "pages and pages" of books on Christianity.
The number of Christian books is large in comparison to books on Islam even with the addition of a new Islam collection secured through a National Endowment for the Humanities grant.
Jones asked them to give equal exposure to books about Christianity and
The coalition voted at its January meeting to pay for and help select Christian books if needed to create such balance and issued the invitation to the community college leaders, which Schill said Monday, "I have to admit, I was surprised you accepted so quickly."
"I don't have a problem with people learning about other cultures; I have a thing about grants," said Schill.
He said he spent time in the military in what is now
Mattocks, who has been on the college board for about six years, said "Catherine and I were delighted to come and speak tonight." She prefaced Chew's remarks by holding up a stack of papers with Christian book titles, lists provided her by Cathy Campbell, director of library services at the community college.
"I appreciate the opportunity to come," Chew said. "I think open dialog is a good thing. We pride ourselves on everybody having an opportunity to learn" and, with budget cuts, grants are one of the ways the college is filling in its funding deficit.
The college previously did not have a grant writer, she said, but now does and it is enhancing the humanities and technical offerings of the "medium sized" community college, one of
She brought along for their review some of the Islam collection which includes books, DVDs, and a database.
For a full list of titles secured with the grant, visit newbernsj.com.
"Understanding cultural nuances is really important," Chew said. "This is not about trying to convert somebody to Islam. It is to help students explore ideas, expand people's knowledge. I hope you can respect that our mission is to expand people's minds and exposure."
Coalition members questioned whether the titles in the collection were properly vetted and Mattocks said, "they were screened very carefully. The librarian is very careful about the resources they get and they came from the National Endowment for the Humanities."
Chew said they were also vetted by different, reputable universities before selection by the Endowment.
Carol Leake said, "My concern is not how many books but if religion is taught at all and from what perspective."
Chew said no course on Islam is planned other than what is imbedded in humanities courses or part of survey courses.
Ralph Scott, who said he had long studied Islam, said the books being provided to universities are part of a long and patient "Islamic jihad, a war being waged in

The Children of Abraham (nonfiction) – by F. E. Peters
F.E. Peters, a scholar without peer in the comparative study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, revisits his pioneering work after twenty-five years. Peters has rethought and thoroughly rewritten his classic The Children of Abraham for a new generation of readers-at a time when the understanding of these three religious traditions has taken on a new and critical urgency.
He began writing about all three faiths in the 1970s, long before it was fashionable to treat Islam in the context of Judaism and Christianity, or to align all three for a family portrait. In this updated edition, he lays out the similarities and differences of the three religious siblings with great clarity and succinctness and with that same remarkable objectivity that is the hallmark of all the author's work.
Peters traces the three faiths from the sixth century B.C., when the Jews returned to
The book's text is direct and accessible with thorough and nuanced discussions of each of the three religions. Updated footnotes provide the reader with expert guidance into the highly complex issues that lie between every line of this stunning and timely new edition of The Children of Abraham.

Considers the influence of the Qur'an on all major aspects of Muslim society, including personal relationships, popular culture, law, art and architecture, political movements, science, and literature

The extraordinary story of an all-American girl's conversion to Islam and her ensuing romance with a young Egyptian man, The Butterfly Mosque is a stunning articulation of a Westerner embracing the Muslim world.
When G. Willow Wilson—already an accomplished writer on modern religion and the Middle East at just twenty-seven—leaves her atheist parents in Denver to study at Boston University, she enrolls in an Islamic Studies course that leads to her shocking conversion to Islam and sends her on a fated journey across continents and into an uncertain future.

The Arabian Nights (literature)
Few works of literature are as familiar and beloved as The Arabian Nights. Yet few remain also as unknown. In English, The Arabian Nights is a literary work of relatively recent date—the first versions of the tales appeared in English barely two hundred years ago.
Every night for three years the vengeful King Shahriyar sleeps with a different virgin, executing her next morning. To end this brutal pattern and to save her own life, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king tales of adventure, love, riches and wonder - tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, the Angel of Death and magical spirits, tales of the voyages of Sindbad, of Ali Baba's outwitting a band of forty thieves and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps. The sequence of stories will last 1,001 nights.

A myth-shattering view of the Islamic world's myriad scientific innovations and the role they played in sparking the European Renaissance.
Many of the innovations that we think of as hallmarks of Western science had their roots in the Arab world of the middle ages, a period when much of Western Christendom lay in intellectual darkness. Jim al- Khalili, a leading British-Iraqi physicist, resurrects this lost chapter of history, and given current East-West tensions, his book could not be timelier. With transporting detail, al-Khalili places readers in the hothouses of the Arabic Enlightenment, shows how they led to

So begins the story of a battle-scarred home and a journalist's wounded spirit, and of how reconstructing the one came to fortify the other. In this bittersweet and resonant memoir, Shadid creates a mosaic of past and present, tracing the house's renewal alongside the history of his family's flight from Lebanon and resettlement in America around the turn of the twentieth century. In the process, he memorializes a lost world and provides profound insights into a shifting
The Columbia Sourcebook of Muslims in the
Bringing together an unusually personal collection of essays and documents from an incredibly diverse group of Americans who call themselves Muslims, Edward E. Curtis "finds Islam" in the American experience from colonial times to the present. Sampling from speeches, interviews, editorials, stories, song lyrics, articles, autobiographies, blogs, and other sources, Curtis presents a patchwork narrative of Muslims from different ethnic and class backgrounds, religious orientations, and political affiliations. He begins with a history of Muslims in the
In constructing his history, Curtis draws on the work of Muslim feminists, social conservatives, interfaith activists, missionaries, and politicians, as well as Muslim rappers and legal experts. He also includes records from the large-scale migrations of the 1880s; racial, ethnic, and religious trends of the 1960s; writings from second-generation and African American Muslims; and discussions of Islam in the public square. With this highly informed, real-life portrait, Curtis provides a crucial corrective to the rhetoric of suspicion and fear surrounding current discussions of Muslims in the United States and emphasizes Muslims' continuing impact on American society and culture.
Prince Among Slaves (nonfiction) – Terry Alford
In this remarkable work, Terry Alford tells the story of Abd al Rahman Ibrahima, a Muslim slave who, in 1807, was recognized by an Irish ship's surgeon as the son of an African king who had saved his life many years earlier. "The Prince," as he had become known to local

In the Country of Men (novel) – Hisham Matar
Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot hope to understand—where the sound of the telephone ringing becomes a portent of grave danger; where his mother frantically burns his father's cherished books; where a stranger full of sinister questions sits outside in a parked car all day; where his best friend's father can disappear overnight, next to be seen publicly interrogated on state television.
In the Country of Men is a stunning depiction of a child confronted with the private fallout of a public nightmare. But above all, it is a debut of rare insight and literary grace.
Muhammad : a very short introduction (nonfiction) – Jonathan A. C. Brown
As the founder of Islam, a religion with over one billion followers, Muhammad is beyond all doubt one of the most influential figures in world history. But learning about his life and understanding his importance has always proven difficult, as our only source of knowledge comes from the biography of him written by his followers, the reliability of which has been questioned by Western scholars. This Very Short Introduction provides a superb introduction to the major aspects of Muhammad's life and its importance, providing both Muslim and Western historical perspectives. It explains the prominent roles that Muhammad's persona has played in the Islamic world throughout history, from the medieval to the modern period. The book also sheds light on modern controversies such as the Satanic Verses, for which author Salman Rushdie was condemned for blasphemy, and the uproar over Danish cartoons of Muhammad, which triggered violent protests around the world. As these recent events show, whatever the truth about Muhammad's life, his persona still plays a crucial role in Muslim life and civilization.
Koran by Heart

George Orwell introduced Newspeak in "Nineteen Eighty-Four" to demonstrate how governments attempt to control the masses through language manipulation. (I presume the word "Newspeak" itself was meant to suggest a new way of speaking ... and newer is better). Given that most major government pronouncements are delivered through the news media, it is not surprising that some would think the term to be "News speak."

The misconception is widespread. There are , such as the one below, that invoke Orwell and use "newsspeak" in the same sentence.
: "So glad you have brought a spotlight to Orwell's '1984' encompassing newsspeak /doublespeak and 'Big Brother' monitoring/controlling the media and the masses, The Sheeple."
Is it sure that Orwell didn't mean news-speak (likely as not in addition to, not instead of new-speak. Orwell would not be above such a pun, would he?).
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
We can't know all the turns and twists in multi-layered mind such as Orwell's, but I see no hint that he connected "Newspeak" to "news." He didn't spell it "Newsspeak," and whenever he used the word "Newspeak" it was always in the context of a dictionary, a word, or a language, not a publicity event. He also contrasted it to Oldspeak (English).

Life-Cycle Investing in Theory and Practice
Zvi Bodie, the first lecturer in the Financial Economics Institute speaker series, is an expert on pension finance and investment strategy. Dr. Bodie's textbooks can be found in classrooms across the country and his presentation will address strategies for achieving a secure financial future.
In his lecture, Bodie will suggest ways that innovations in the theory of finance combined with advances in financial contracting technology can be used to improve social welfare by designing and producing a new generation of user-friendly life-cycle investment products. One example is inflation-protected escalating annuities that provide retirees with a lifetime guaranteed benefit floor plus participation in gains from a broad equity index. Further improvements are possible by bundling such escalating annuities with other types of insurance.
Zvi Bodie is the Norman and Adele Barron Professor of Management at Boston University. He holds a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has served on the finance faculty at the Harvard Business School and MIT's Sloan School of Management. Professor Bodie has published widely on pension finance and investment strategy in leading professional journals.
Bodie's books include Foundations of Pensionn Finance (2001), Pensions in the U.S.Economy (1987), Issues in Pension Economics (1987), and Financial Aspects of the U.S. Pension System (1983). His textbook Investments (2004) is the market leader and is used in the certification programs of the Financial Planning Association and the Society of Actuaries. His textbook Finance (2000) is coauthored by Nobel Prize winning economist, Robert C. Merton. Professor Bodie is a member of the Pension Research Council of the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. His latest book is Worry Free Investing: A Safe Approach to Achieving Your Lifetime Financial Goals (2003).
The European Dream: How Europe's Vision of the Future is Changing the Global Economy
A talented and innovative economist, Jeremy Rifkin is founder and president of the Foundation on Economic Trends. He has devoted much of his life to a passionate study of the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment – his diligence is reflected in the seventeen books he has published on these topics. Studied in hundreds of universities, corporations and government agencies around the world, these analyses have been translated into more than thirty languages.
In his newest international bestseller, The European Dream: How Europe's Vision of the Future is Quietly Eclipsing the American Dream (2004), Mr. Rifkin argues that while the great American Dream is fading, a powerful new European Dream is beginning to capture the attention and imagination of the world. The nascent European Dream, says Rifkin, is, in many respects, the mirror opposite of the American Dream, but far better suited to meet the challenges of a globalizing society in the 21st century. Rifkin draws on more than twenty years of personal experience working in Europe, where he has advised heads of state and political parties, consulted with Europe's leading companies, and helped spur grass-roots, environmental, and social justice campaigns.
Mr. Rifkin holds a degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and a degree in international affairs from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Rifkin speaks frequently before government, business, labor and civic forums and has been influential in shaping public policy in the United States and around the world. He has testified before numerous congressional committees and has had consistent success in litigation to ensure responsible government policies on a variety of environmental, scientific, and technology related issues.
Jeremy Rifkin's lecture at the Athenaeum is the first in the Gould seminar series Labor and Leisure in Western Culture taught by Professor Nicholas Warner.
Disobedient Bodies: A Chicana/o Perspective on Immigration
In the spring of 2006, well over two million people took to the streets to protest immigration legislation. Largely in response to the December 2005 passage of restrictive legislation by the House of Representatives, these mobilizations illustrate the coming importance and controversy of immigration issues in the 21st century.
Often compared to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, the current immigrants' rights movement provides an opportunity to consider the meaning of citizenship, race, and disobedience in new ways. The field of Chicana/o studies begins its work here, at the crossroads of history shaping immigrant lives, national responses, and social definitions.
In his talk Sandoval will focus on how U.S. National culture shapes our understanding of the immigrant body as a socially constructed group. He suggests that the immigrant participation in visible protests movements can be seen as something more than simple protest against legislation. It is a type of "cultural citizenship," an assertion of their claims to certain social rights. Perhaps most importantly, his talk will address the often forgotten human and cultural aspect of immigration.
Sandoval is an assistant professor of history and Chicano/Latino studies at Pomona College. He holds a joint appointment in the history department and in the Inter-Collegiate Department of Chicano/Latino Studies. He graduated from CMC in 1994 with a B.A. in PPE and history. He earned a M.A. in 1996 and Ph.D. in 2002, both in history, from the University of California, Berkeley. He is an expert on Chicano/Latino identity and community formations, and is the author of several published articles on race and history. He is currently developing a book on the history of the Latina/o communities of San Francisco. This lecture is jointly sponsored by the Chicano/Latino Student Affairs Center and the Athenaeum.
Life in a Changing and Changeable Environment: The Antarctic Peninsula
Many animals go to extraordinary lengths to avoid exposure to extreme cold. A few, however, "simply" freeze solid! Professor Richard Lee's research focuses on physiological and ecological mechanisms of freeze tolerance and avoidance in temperate and polar insects, dormancy and winter ecology of insects, frogs, and turtles, and the use of freeze-tolerant organisms for biological control. He has devoted many years of study to freeze-tolerance in the goldenrod fly Eurosta solidaginis, the larvae of which overwinter in plant galls exposed to the full range of ambient temperature extremes. In 2005 he returned to Palmer Station on the Antarctic Peninsula after 25 years to resume his studies of another remarkable freeze-tolerant insect with limited mobility, a wingless fly. His presentation will focus on Antarctic research, the local flora and fauna, evidence of global warming, and adaptations of insects to environmental stress.
Lee is the author of more than 185 papers, reviews, and book chapters related to cryobiology and cold-hardiness in insects, frogs, and turtles. At Miami University he received the Outstanding Researcher Award in 1991 and the Distinguished Educator Award in 1993. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Ohio Academy of Science.
Professor Lee's lecture is second in the series Life at the Limits: The Physiology of Extremophiles, sponsored by the Joint Science Department of The Claremont Colleges, the biology departments of Harvey Mudd College and Pomona College, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
The United States' Relations with the World Post 9/11: How Do We Improve U.S.-World Relations From Here?
LUNCHEON 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
The concept of multilateralism has been rarely criticized as sharply as during the current Bush administration. The United Nations has steadily dwindled in importance for American policymakers. As the current American ambassador to the UN, John Bolton states, "The UN doesn't exist." However, proponents of multilateralism contend that the UN is now more important than ever in a post-9/11 world. Despite this heated debate, one thing is certain: the United States' relations with the world have been battered. How can they be repaired? Should they be repaired? When it comes to working together with the world, what is in it for the United States?
Gillian Sorensen will discuss what is at stake for the future of global politics. She is Senior Advisor and National Advocate at the United Nations Foundation. She has had a long career working with and for the UN. Since l993, she served as Special Advisor for Public Policy for Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, then as Assistant Secretary General, head of the Office of External Relations for Secretary General Kofi Annan. She was responsible for outreach to civil society, including NGOs, and worked closely with diplomats, academics, parliamentarians, religious leaders and others committed to peace, justice, development, and human rights. She has been a Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Women's Foreign Policy Group.
This event is being sponsored by the new Americans for Informed Democracy (AID) chapter at Claremont McKenna College. AID is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that seeks to shape a new generation of global leaders. Visit www.aidemocracy.org or www.thepeoplespeak.org for more information.
Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace: A Reading
For more than twelve years, National Book Award-winning author Maxine Hong Kingston has led writing and meditation workshops for war veterans and their families. The contributors to this volume – combat veterans, medics, and others who served in war; gang members, drug users, and victims of domestic violence; draft resisters, deserters, and peace activists – are part of this community of writers working together to heal the trauma of war through art.
Maxine Hong Kingston's books - The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts (1976), China Men (1982), Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book (1989), The Fifth Book of Peace (2003), and others – have won critical praise and national awards including the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, PEN West Award for Fiction, and the American Book Award. In 1997, President Bill Clinton presented her with a National Humanities Medal and she has been named a "Living Treasure of Hawaii."
For the past five years, Jim Castellanos has served as an Aviation Weapon Systems Technician in the United States Marine Corps. In 2004, he deployed to Al Asad, Iraq on a seven-month combat tour in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. For his service in Iraq, he was awarded the Iraqi Campaign Medal and the Global War of Terrorism Service Medal, among others.
Castellanos is a contributing author in the forthcoming book, Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace (2006), edited by Maxine Hong Kingston, where his narrative, "Voluntary Disarmament in Iraq," tells his story about war, ethics, and change, which subsequently prompted a two-year conscientious objector investigation by the United States Marine Corps. He is currently a biology-chemistry major at Claremont McKenna College.
Paul Ocampo lives in Los Angeles. He graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a degree in English literature, taught English in Korea for a season, and assisted Maxine Hong Kingston in editing her forthcoming anthology, Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace, where his short story "Butterfly" is included. He has also been published in the literary journal Lodestar Quarterly. He is currently attending UCLA for his Master of Arts in Asian American Studies where he will focus on a collection of short stories that address the disembodiment of identity and voice.
Before and After Olympic Glory
Jackie Joyner-Kersee is often regarded as the best all-around female athlete in the world and the all-time greatest heptathlete. Of her five Olympic medals, she holds three gold medals, one silver medal, and one bonze medal. At 23 feet nine inches, she holds the American record for the long jump. With her score of 7,161, she was the first woman to earn more than 7,000 points in the heptathlon, and has held the heptathlon world record since 1986.
Ms. Joyner-Kersee overcame poverty, discrimination, personal tragedy, and asthma to become the most decorated woman in U.S. Olympic track and field history. In February 2001, Joyner-Kersee, at age 38, officially retired. Rather than glancing back at past triumphs, she seeks new challenges. "It's better to look ahead and prepare," she declares, "than to look back and regret."
True to her humble style, Joyner-Kersee believes that, "The medals don't mean anything and the glory doesn't last. It's all about your happiness. The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing."
With the hope of improving the quality of life for all people in her native St. Louis, she founded the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation. Its mission is accomplished by providing youths, adults, and families with innovative programs and services focused on health, education, leadership, sports, and volunteer opportunities. In 2005, the foundation celebrated five years of service, during which it raised over $12 million for programs. "We have come a long way and we have seen great things happen with the youth and families of East St. Louis," explains Joyner-Kersee, "and we are extremely proud to have helped make a difference in the lives of youth and all the people of this community."
Jackie Joyner-Kersee's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute, the department of physical education and athletics, and the Athenaeum.
Emperor Penguins: Residents of the 10th Planet
What does it take to hold your breath for up to an hour, swim to more than half a kilometer below sea level, and how would you even begin to answer a question like that? Dr. Gerald Kooyman, an expert on diving physiology, has been asking and providing extraordinary answers to that question for more than 40 years. Dr. Kooyman's studies of emperor penguins and Weddell seals in the Antarctic have dramatically changed the way physiologists and behavioral ecologists think about diving. With close to 50 trips to the Antarctic, few people have logged as much "ice-time" as Dr. Kooyman. Recently his work has focused on the effects of global climate change on emperor penguins, an important indicator species.
Dr. Kooyman is the author of over 150 research papers and three books. He is a Fellow of The Explorer's Club and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the American Polar Society. In 2005, he was the first recipient of the Kenneth S. Norris Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Marine Mammalogy. He even has a mountain in the Queen Elizabeth Range in Antarctica named after him ("Kooyman Peak").
Giant Pandas: Past, Present, Future, and the Million Dollar Question
Giant pandas draw great crowds at zoos in the United States, but because of their dwindling numbers in the wild, they are very difficult and expensive to obtain from China. David Powell oversaw the giant panda behavior studies at the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C., which lead to the successful breeding of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian in captivity and the subsequent birth of Tai Shan on July 9, 2005. Powell will discuss the state of giant pandas in the wild in addition to providing a glimpse into the politics, history and his own research regarding these amazing animals.
Currently Dr. Powell is an assistant curator in the Department of Mammalogy of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo in New York. His research has focused primarily on ungulate and carnivore behavior in captivity and in the wild. His specific research interests include social dominance, endocrine physiology, and captive animal well-being. He received his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Maryland in 2000. His studies focused on behavior and reproductive physiology in a population of horses living on Assateague Island off the coasts of Maryland and Virginia. At the Bronx Zoo, he has conducted projects on transport stress, oral vaccine efficacy, maternal behavior, and responses to scent lures for camera traps. In the near future he hopes to launch a project on behavior and ecology of takin using captive collections in the U.S. and a population of wild takin in Sichuan China. This lecture is co-sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Roberts Environmental Center, and the Claremont Colleges Chapter of Sigma Xi.
Mono Lake: A Geological and Biological Wonder
According to current estimates by the LADWP, the city of Los Angeles uses 2.2 x 1011 gallons of water annually. Since 1941, LA has been diverting water from Mono Lake 300 miles north of the city to satisfy its demands. Mono Lake is a terminal lake – water flows in via streams, but leaves only through evaporation. As water evaporates, previously dissolved solutes are left behind. As a result of both evaporation and diversion of water, Mono Lake is 2-3 times as salty as sea water. It supports a highly unusual and very restricted suite of organisms that can tolerate the high salt levels. Those species that are able to tolerate such conditions can exist in extremely high densities. Brine shrimp in the water during the summer are estimated to reach densities in the trillions and the migratory birds they support can reach numbers into the hundreds of thousands.
One of Professor Timothy Bradley's major areas of study is the characterization and elucidation of the mechanisms of salt and water regulation in saline-water insects. Dr. Bradley's research is motivated by a desire to understand both the ecological significance of physiological mechanisms and the evolutionary processes by which physiological differentiation occurs in species. His work on Mono Lake brine flies has lead to an understanding of salinity tolerance in this species and an appreciation of other ecological factors that affect their survival and reproduction. His studies have management implications for the lake and its watershed.
Dr. Bradley and his lab are also highly active in studies of evolutionary physiology and physiological ecology. Bradley is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and received an Excellence in Teaching Award from the University of California, Irvine in 1999. He is the co-editor of a book on ion transport and metabolism in insects, and the author of eight book chapters and close to 100 research papers. This lecture is the fourth and final talk in the series Life at the Limits: The Physiology of Extremophiles, which has been made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Joint Science Department of the The Claremont Colleges, the biology departments of Harvey Mudd College and Pomona College, and the Athenaeum.
Claremont Colleges Debate Union: The Church-State Controversy
Since its founding, the United States has struggled with the relationship between civil and religious affairs. Should church and state be separate? Should public life accommodate more religious influence? How should the boundaries of religious practice, private behavior, and government rules be drawn? Debates rage from the religious practices of the Founders and the original intent of the Establishment Clause to due process, privacy, free exercise, and equal protection arguments regarding reproductive rights, restrictions on the legislative power to tax, school prayer, and the "War on Santa."
Two recent controversies—the legal status of same-sex relationships and federal funding for faith-based community service initiatives—have produced animated public and private debates and discussions. Does the government have a place in the bedroom — should the government regulate marriage? Is the purpose of faith-based initiatives to subsidize an expansion of a select ministry or efficiently distribute goods and services to the needy? Please join members of the Claremont Colleges Debate Union and representatives of college Democratic and Republican parties for a debate on these issues.
The Claremont Colleges Debate Union is the nation's largest and among the most successful college debate societies. Students have won three national championships and placed in the top ten in the nation for 14 consecutive years; they have won top honors at international contests in the United Kingdom, Canada, Korea, and China. The Debate Union's public events, professional communication, and educational outreach programs are without peer.
Genocide Intervention Network: Stop the Genocide in Sudan
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
Mark Hanis is the co-founder and Chief Executive of the Genocide Intervention Network (GI-Net), an organization created with fellow Swarthmore students Andrew Sniderman and Stephanie Nyombayire. Mark graduated Swarthmore College in 2005 with a major in political science and a minor in public policy. He is the grandchild of four Holocaust survivors and was raised in Quito, Ecuador. From February to August 2004, Mark worked for the Office of the Prosecutor at the Special Court for Sierra Leone. Mark has been featured in The New York Times and appeared on CNN Headline News and NPR.
GI-Net's aim is to recruit a committed and diverse group to form an active network that realizes the "never" in "never again." GI-Net members educate their communities and lobby their elected officials. Currently, their work is focused on ending the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan, where more than 300,000 people have been killed and over 2 million have been displaced; providing material support for African Union peacekeepers in the region; and organizing political action campaigns for a more robust civilian protection force.
The Genocide Intervention Network's mission is to empower individuals and communities with the tools to prevent and stop genocide. The Genocide Intervention Network has played a leading role in responding to the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Taking an unconventional response to genocide, GI-Net directly fundraises for civilian protection. Since its founding in November 2004, GI-Net has raised over $250,000 from grassroots efforts and plans to use the donations to train and recruit female African civilian police to focus on gender-based violence in Darfur. With a recent launch of a membership component, GI-Net is building the first permanent anti-genocide constituency which will foster the necessary political will to prevent and stop genocide.
Lunch begins at 11:45 a.m. with the program to follow at 12:15 p.m.
Liberalism and Conservatism in the Post-Bush Era
Peter Beinart examines the effects of the 2006 midterm elections on both the left and the right, with a view towards 2008 and the longer term dynamics on both sides. He argues that Democrats will have the greatest success in the short term by casting the midterm elections as a referendum on Republican rule, while avoiding presenting a detailed agenda of their own. This policy, however, will not serve the Democrats well in the long run: two years from now, they must offer a compelling vision for America or accept four more years of a Republican presidency.
Peter Beinart is editor-at-large at The New Republic, for which he writes a weekly column. He was the editor of the magazine from November 1999 until March 2006. He also writes a monthly column for The Washington Post, and is a contributor to Time. His articles have appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Financial Times. Beinart is a frequent guest on a variety of shows on both television and radio.
In his recent book, The Good Fight: Why Liberals – and Only Liberals – Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again (2006), Beinart argues for a reinvigorated liberalism which does not simply define itself against the right but fervently opposes the totalitarianism which stalks the Islamic world today. Liberals must see democracy as a just goal continually worth striving for, both at home and abroad.

Over the course of his playing days, Brad Marchand undoubtedly
has received many a barb about his big beak. Throughout his rookie
year and sensational playoff run, one particular nickname paying a
tribute to it gained steam.
Playing off the stage name of rapper Ghost Face Killah, fans have dubbed Marchand the "Nose Face Killah." Teammates and even Marchand himself sport T-shirts with the nickname on it after games, as it's a moniker No. 63 is in full approval of.
"Yeah, it's fun," Marchand said. "It seems to be something that's gotten pretty big, and a lot of people have taken to it. It's cool."
Fans on Twitter and hockey message boards across the Web also have taken to the nickname "Marshmont," but teammate and close friend Tyler Seguin said the Bruins never refer to the zany winger that way.
"I don't hear it that often," Seguin said. "I hear it from fans sometimes. None of the boys call him that."
So what do they refer to him as?
"'Pigeon,' 'The Rat,' 'Nose Killer,'" Seguin said.
That's just fine by Marchand. You can call him anything, just — for the love of God — not "Marshmont."
"Oh, I hate that name so much," he said, shaking his head. "I don't get where it came from. When people call me it, I tell them to stop. But the 'Nose Face' one, that's fine."
Take note, Bruins fans.

JP Pietersen has been named to start for the Springboks despite having to undergo a late fitness test, while Elton Jantjies has been included on the bench.
Pietersen was initially expected to miss the clash against England at Twickenham, but his groin injury has responded well to treatment, although he will have to prove he is completely recovered on Friday before he is cleared. Prop Gurthro Steenkamp also struggled with a leg ailment at the beginning of the week, but will start.
'It's great to be able to field an unchanged team,' said Bok coach Heyneke Meyer. 'We've been able to show some consistency in selection on this tour and that is a good thing.
'The players have worked extremely hard on the training field and it wasn't easy to select the match 23 for each of the three Tests, but I'm happy that we managed to stick to combinations.'
Jantjies is included on the bench for the first time on this tour, replacing Morné Steyn. The injury to reserve prop CJ van der Linde also sees Pat Cilliers promoted to the match 23.
'The plan was always to give Elton a run on the tour,' said Meyer. 'He's shown earlier in the season that he can play Test rugby. It's also good for his development as a player to experience the conditions here and to play in front of a big crowd like Twickenham.'
Meyer said the demands of a long season were obvious when looking at the team.
'It's been a long season, with most of the guys carrying knocks and not able to train. The challenge is to get up for it mentally first and foremost and then bring the physicality,' he said.
'I am worried. I can see that mentally it's been a long season. Having said that, I know this team and they're warriors who want to win for their country and the guys next to them.'
The English media has demanded an elevated level of physicality from what they deemed a poor showing in their defeat against Australia. Meyer said he was braced for an immense challenge in that regard.
'As a South African looking back, I didn't think England teams were particularly tough. My coaching stint in Leicester, working with guys like Lewis Moody and Martin Corry, who are probably the toughest guys I've coached, changed that perception completely,' he said.
'Our guys know that they had the edge in South Africa physically because it was at the end of the northern hemisphere season. Now we're here at the end of ours and they are fresh and we need to toughen up. Maybe in a sense they underestimated the Wallabies, but they will be up for South Africa.'
Springboks – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Pat Lambie, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Gürthro Steenkamp.
Subs: 16 Schalk Brits, 17 Heinke van der Merwe, 18 Pat Cilliers, 19 Flip van der Merwe, 20 Marcell Coetzee, 21 Elton Jantjies, 22 Jaco Taute, 23 Lwazi Mvovo.

Baseball Opens Conference Play with Twinbill Sweep at Barton
February 26, 2011
Story Courtesy of Barton Sports Information
WILSON, N.C. Pfeiffer University held on for a 4-1 win in the opener and then exploded for a 13-3 victory in the nightcap to complete a Conference Carolinas doubleheader sweep of host Barton College at Nixon Field on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons snapped a five-game losing streak, improving to 7-9 overall. The Bulldogs fell to 4-10. Barton and Pfeiffer will wrap up its Conference Carolinas opening three-game series Sunday at 1 p.m.
Pfeiffer received hits from 10 different Falcons including three hits apiece from senior Jesse Dunn (Easley, S.C.), sophomore Jacob Yates (Blairs, Va.) and freshman Jon Gray (Granite Falls, N.C.).
Junior shortstop Preston Lyon (Gastonia, N.C.) went deep for the Falcons in the first game while senior Matt Willis (Wilmington, N.C.) hit Bartons first homer of the season in the finale.
Senior Jordan Smith (Longmont, Colo.) and freshman Zac Crumpler (Wilson, N.C.) paced the Bulldogs with three hits each.
GAME ONE: Pfeiffer 4, Barton 1
Pfeiffer broke a late 1-1 tie with three runs in the seventh and then got out of bases loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth to pick up the 4-1 win.
The Bulldogs filled the bases with no outs on singles by Crumpler and sophomore Clay Martin (Pittsboro, N.C.) followed by a walk by freshman John Hunter (Hertford, N.C.). Pfeiffer senior Luke Wilhelm (Lexington, N.C.) recorded his second save of the season by inducing a pair of groundball outs including a game-ending double play.
The Falcons were able to produce three runs against Barton sophomore ace Kyle Norville (Tarboro, N.C.) on three singles and two walks. Senior Hunter Boehme (Winston-Salem, N.C.) drew a bases-loaded walk to produce the go-ahead run and classmate Tyler Smith (Locust, N.C.) provided a clutch two-run single to left.
Barton took the early lead on a junior Ryan Daughtry (Princeton, N.C.) double that hit off the right-center field fence scoring classmate Chris Rawlings (Charlotte, N.C.) from first. Daughtry then kept the Bulldogs ahead with a web gem, reaching over the right field fence and robbing senior Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, N.C.) of a home run in the second.
Lyon finally knotted the score with a solo blast to left in the fourth. Lyons leadoff long ball was his second of the season.
Junior starter Eric Shuford (Shelby, N.C.) earned the win on the mound pitching into the ninth. Shuford (2-1) fanned seven Bulldogs to increase his league leading strikeout total to 33 on the early season.
Norville (1-1) was tagged with the loss in the complete-game effort. The crafty lefty only allowed five hits and two walks over nine strong with one strikeout.
GAME TWO: Pfeiffer 13, Barton 3
After both teams traded lone runs in both the first and second innings, Pfeiffer pulled away with an eight-run third before coasting to the 13-3 victory.
The Falcons scored a season-most 13 runs on 12 hits and seven walks. The decisive frame included the first eight batters reaching base safely. Dunn and sophomore Aarin Sharpe (Winterville, N.C.) both ripped two-run base hits and a Yates RBI-double was the lone extra-base hit of the stanza.
Pfeiffer completed its scoring with three more runs in the fourth. Yates was 3-for-5 with three RBI and Dunn was 3-for-4 with three runs scored. Sophomore Bryan Tuttle (Lenoir, N.C.) was credited with the win tossing the first four innings. Tuttle (2-2) tallied four strikeouts before handing the ball off to a trio of relievers that each pitched one scoreless frame.
Freshman starter Jimmie Davis (Elizabethtown, N.C.) was chased after two-plus innings after getting tagged for seven runs (six earned) on five hits and three walks. Freshman Phillip Cotten (Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) held the visitors off the board for the final three innings in his first collegiate appearance.
Smith flirted with a cycle with a triple, double, and a single but was denied a fourth plate appearance with the nightcap only being a seven-inning schedule game. Willis ripped a pinch-hit homer to right-center in the fourth. Willis bomb in his first at bat of the season marked the Bulldogs first dinger of the season.

Comments about Kalloy Xtb-N QR Seatpost Clamp:
I replaced the seatpost clamp on my Motobecane, which was not quick-release and I think it looks fine, and it works great.
Make sure that you order the correct size clamp, which ever one you choose. Measure the outside diameter of the seat *tube*, not the seat post. My seat post is 27.2 mm and my seat tube is 31.8 mm, so that's the one I ordered, and it fits perfectly.
Something that I was not completely sure of, is that there is a slight lip at the top of the clamp so that when you release your seat post to raise or lower the seat, the clamp stays in place. I figured that it would have some kind of lip, but the picture really doesn't show it.
This clamp works very well, and will probably last forever.
Comments about Kalloy Xtb-N QR Seatpost Clamp:
Purchased this as a budget replacement for the stock post clamp on my Felt Nine Trail, which was not quick-release. Easy to install and gets the job done(so far).
Not for the weight or cosmetic focused riders. It's big, clunky looking, and heavy.
If you're cheap like me and don't care about counting grams or high-cycling-fashion, this is your clamp.
