Fantastic photos ! I often go back to look at all my Butterfly photos as well . I cant wait till summer to be back in the garden and fields photographing the Butterfly's and wild flowers ! Have a good day !
What a gorgeous blog and farm! Thanks for sharing. Wish I could fly there and visit, magically!
Beautiful pics...as usual! Those rising sun shots are gorgeous...so calming and beautiful.
Stunning photos - especially love the shot of the finches with the bluebird. I've only seen a bluebird once, and briefly, in my garden, shortly after we installed our pond - we're longing to see more this year. I learn something every time I stop in here!
Lovely burtterfly images. Your farm sounds delightful.
I always enjoy your butterflies and that sunset is beyond gorgeous - like a fire burning in the sky!
Lovely images! Thanks for sharing them.
We raised anise swallowtails this year, but I think a lot if them were "duds.". I'm wondering when I should give up on the coccoons.
Really liked this series of Pearl Crescents. You got the sexes right too, I usually go by the skinny versus fat abdomen. There can be a great deal of variation in these tiny butterflies, notably each brood can be different from the last brood. Going up to 76 tomorrow!
I am amazed at your diligence in observing the differences. I cannot see that because my photos are not the way i want them to be, as my butterflies have already dried their wings when they arrive. Maybe they dry them longer in colder climates. Now i learned a very notable difference between male and female. I always do that with just their colors because i normally dont see their abdomen. I can only observe fully whenever i see a dead one.
They are beautiful little butterflies. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your wonderful "captures" of them!
Wonderful photos, I love the patterns on the butterfly antennae.
What a fascinating post! I am happy I've learned to identify some of the different species of butterflies in recent years, but I have so much more to learn about them. Beautiful images of a sweet little butterfly.
Thanks Country Gal!
Dear Janet, Thank you for your kind words of support. Would that we could all fly magically!! Come for a visit sometime!
Thank you dear Bridget! It is a treat to see the sun rising each day . . . especially to see how our turning earth is bringing longer days!
Thank you so Brenda! I do hope you will have Bluebirds this year. Do you have nest boxes up for them? How lovely to have a pond!
Thank you Mia!
Dear Sarah, I am so glad you enjoy this series. Thank you for your kind words. It was like a large ball of fire!
Thank you Lisa and Robb! I am not sure what you mean? Do you buy the cocoons? I only raise caterpillars I find in my gardens.
Gee! Thanks Randy!! I past the test. I do love these tiny beauties! Enjoy the warm days!
Dear Andrea, thanks so for visiting. I hope you will have better luck in seeing the many details of all the butterflies that share your world.
Thank you dear Sweetbay!
Thank you Gillian! Those antennae and knobs are pretty neat!
Thank you so Rose! We all have endless amounts to learn about the flora and fauna in our lives. Each year brings more understanding!
Educational and beautiful. Thank you, Carol !
I like this cutie pie butterfly~They visit my garden, but I'm more likely to see the Silvery Checkerspot~and are they similar looking! I can't wait to see the butterflies again, but, in the meantime the birds are perfect garden flowers! xogail
Your images make me pine for the beauty of butterflies! With this warm weather perhaps they will be here sooner rather than later. I am very glad you took so many photos...wonderful!
I love yor pictures...as always...
Have a great weekend :)
Fantastic photos and educational and beautiful.
Have a great weekend
Carol these butterflies don't visit our region but it must be lovely to see so many of them on your property each year to give you such great opportunities for photographing them. I hope you've got a herd of caterpillars out in those aster fields just now!
Your studies of butterflies are amazing, especially the close-ups.
Magnificient colours!
Carol, you really know how to use your camera! Amazing shots!!! These butterflies are so beautiful!
Have a great weekend!
Your posts, always wonderful/informative ... do hope your book is forthcoming, Carol. You have the gift!
Imagine our world without its magnificient colours...what a bore!
Your fabulous pictures are vibrant!
Wishing you a great weekend!
Kära Carol!
I agree with Randi! Absolutely gorgeous images.
And Carol! Thanks for the cute card - I really enjoyed it.
Kram, Anja
Thank you Helen. I am learning so much by doing this series.
Dear Gail, If you cannot see the underwings, it is maddening trying to identify these beauties. Yes, the birds do add animation and color to the gardens right now. Thank you for visiting and sharing!
Thank you Sage Butterfly! Spending the winter with all these images is making me long for the butterflies too. It will not be too long now and we will be seeing Mourning Cloaks here.
Thank you dear Ann Charlotte! Kram
Thank you, thank you Gunilla! Kram
Dear Rosie, Thank you so! I do hope there are many caterpillars that survive the winter too! It amazes me they can do it at all.
Thank you Janet! It is fun to do macro with butterflies. It is hard but when they are intent on nectaring they do not seem to mind me too much.
Thank you Vilmantas! I do love their colors and those of the surrounding gardens. Especially love when the butterfly colors are before their complements.
Kara Randi! Really and truly I do not know that much about what I am doing. I am not a techie in any way. Unfortunately. I need to learn more but thank you so much for your kind words!
Dearest Joey! Thank you so much!! Your kind words of support mean a great deal. I am working . . . in my way . . . towards that goal.
Kara Katarina! So true!! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you dearest Anja! I am so glad! Be Well! Kramar!
Oh my I have seen a post by you on several blogs including mine about BUTTERFLIES OF 2011 ~ Favorite White Admiral & Red-spotted Purple, yet clicking on it, it says the posts does not exist. Blogger must have some problems, I have had 3 comments by Sweetbay end up in my spam box for no reason.
Oh, Randy I am sorry . . . it is not blogger but my new mind . . . which tires very easily and hit publish too soon! I went and deleted the posts but could not take the icon off. I now know how I can. The post is coming right up!!

Broken Bells Biography & News
Broken Bells Details
|Official site
About Broken Bells
About Broken Bells
Broken Bells only features two of the biggest names in alternative and indie music – the Shins' singer/guitarist James Mercer and producer/multi-instrumentalist Brian Burton, aka the one and only Danger Mouse. Which makes it all the more interesting when you consider just how long this duo kept their secret side project under wraps for so long.
It's been a decade now since Mercer and Burton met at the 2004 Roskilde music festival in Denmark. They started writing together in 2008, and stepped up to recording at Burton's home studio in Los Angeles. What emerged wasn't Burton's sample-heavy style he's used on his own projects, and Mercer was suddenly singing falsettos and a mix of deep registers. By the time the pair announced they were Broken Bells in late 2009, fans were digging the changes.
Broken Bells debut single, "The High Road," served as the soft launch to their self-titled debut album in the spring of 2010. A year later, their "Meyrin Fields" EP arrived, featuring previously unreleased tracks. And in late 2013 the duo released a teaser for the then-forthcoming sophomore album, "After the Disco." The one-minute clip featured footage of Mercer and Burton in a dusty landscape while clips of a new song played in the background.
"After the Disco" bowed on February 4, 2014. The launch was backed by a media blitz that included appearances on "Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon." The project drew widespread praise and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
Broken Bells to Tour U.S. This Fall
Danger Mouse and The Shins' James Mercer (also known as Broken Bells) have crafted a United States tour centered around their gig at Austin City Limits Music Festival in October, all in promotion of their latest release, After the Disco. The tour starts in New York, NY at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park on September…Read more

Editor's note:Some readers may find content in this story disturbing and objectionable. Please use discretion.
Thursday at 7:39 p.m., agents with the State Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant at former Kinston City Councilman Will Barker's home.
That's when he reached for a gun and attempted to commit suicide.
Already facing 10 counts of felony third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, Barker could end up with more charges against him, Assistant District Attorney Imelda Pate said Monday at Barker's first court appearance. Law enforcement is just beginning the intensive forensic investigation of a vast amount of electronics seized from his home and from his business.
The initial charges stem from images found on a laptop seized at Barker's residence.
Barker attempted to reduce his $300,000 bond Monday in Lenoir County District Court. In attempting suicide, Attorney Allen Foster said his client made a "rash, harsh and poor decision" and has "no desire to do anything to harm himself."
According to the bond worksheet entered at the time of Barker's arrest, the arresting officer wrestled the handgun from Barker. The officer later suggested an unusually high bond because Barker was suicidal at the time of arrest, authorities were unaware of his mental state and believed him a possible flight risk.
An apparent change of mindset worked well for Barker, who saw a reduction in his overall bond to $105,000. Foster told Judge Lonnie Carraway that Barker had "overwhelming family and friend support from his community," is of "high character" and not a flight risk. Pate agreed the weekend served as "a cooling off period" and the prosecution wouldn't oppose, necessarily, a reduction in the bond.
Foster said he and an associate discussed treatment and counseling with Barker over the weekend, and Barker would go immediately into treatment once he's released from custody. As of press time on Monday, Barker remained in isolation at the Lenoir County Jail.
Barker entered the courtroom late Monday morning with two other defendants, all clad in the kelly-green scrubs of the Lenoir County Jail. Otherwise expressionless, Barker sometimes smiled while talking to members of the court who knew him.
During his initial hearing on the 10 counts, Barker appeared removed from the desperation of Thursday night as friends and family packed two rows end-to-end at the front of the courtroom.
The trouble began for Barker at a meeting of the Fremont Board of Alderman on Nov. 20. According to affidavits in support of the search warrants, Barker spoke to the board regarding a town financial audit. He left his seat on two different occasions to address the aldermen at their table and then left the premises after speaking during a closed session.
Fremont Town Administrator Kerry McDuffie received a USB thumb-drive that had been found on the floor next to the table, asked if anyone had lost it, and finding no claimants, gave the drive to town Police Chief P.E. Moats.
Moats took the drive and endeavoring to find its owner through viewing the contents, discovered images of young boys, clothed and naked, including images that showed the boys genitals. He also discovered a file titled "Sitterson & Barker PA," and subsequently alerted the SBI.
Special Agent Kevin Roughton corroborated the findings, noting the children were 12-15 years old and appeared to be sexually exploitative. He also discovered more files indicative the drive was used for business-related purposes, and there was reasonable evidence the drive was Barker's property.
Roughton received warrants to search Barker's home and place of business at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, and searched the residence and offices about 12 hours later.
A warrant was issued for Barker's arrest that evening resulting from the following 10 images found on a laptop at his house. Allegedly, the images contain:
Charge No. 1
· Unknown juvenile, approximately 9-12 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of lewd and lascivious display of the pubic area
· Unknown minor, approximately 9-13 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of touching of a juvenile's penis by an adult male
· Two juveniles, approximately 9-14 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of mutually performing oral sex
Charge No. 2
· Two unknown juveniles, approximately 8-14 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of each engaging in masturbation
· Unknown juvenile, approximately 10-13 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of performing oral sex on an unknown male
· Unknown juvenile, approximately 11-14 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of with apparent ejaculate of his genitalia
Charge No. 3
· Unknown juvenile, approximately 8-11 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of holding his erect penis
· Two unknown juveniles, approximately 7-12 years old, engaging in sexual activity consisting of masturbating each other
· Two unknown juveniles, approximately 7-14 years old, engaging in sexual activity of one is masturbating the other
Charge No. 4
· Two unknown juveniles, approximately 7-14 years old, engaging in sexual activity of one is masturbating the other
Each count qualifies as a sexually violent offense, placing Barker under the requirements of sexual offender laws if convicted. Under the state's sentencing guidelines, Barker could face between about three years and four months, and six years and eight months in prison if convicted on each count.

Moral Leadership and the Common Good
The Athenaeum welcomes the new interim president of Claremont Graduate University, Dr. Joseph C. Hough, Jr., to speak on a matter close to the heart of CMC's mission – leadership.
In his lecture, Dr. Hough plans to explore the moral foundations for leadership. He says that in addition to one's personal principles of morality that should support all forms of leadership, there is an urgent need today for leaders to dedicate themselves to addressing the common and public good.
Hough is actually returning to The Claremont Colleges after a long hiatus, as he served on the faculty of Claremont School of Theology and Chair of the Religion Department of Claremont Graduate School. He also acted as dean of the Claremont School of Theology from 1974 to 1987.

Cobb, Jr. (1991); and Black Power and White Protestants: A Christian Response to the New Negro Pluralism (1968), and he is the recipient of accolades such as the Joshua Award from the Jewish Federation Council for outstanding contributions to human relations and the Distinguished Service Award from the Association of Theological Schools of the United States and Canada, among others.

Prof. Pei also possesses a bachelor degree in English from the Shanghai International Studies University and a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing from the University of Pittsburgh.
Wal-Mart from Bentonville to Guangdong: The 21st Century Face of Global Capitalism
Lichtenstein gives us a chance to think boldly, of our own future, of an alternative to ever increasing inequality, economic insecurity, and knee-jerk populism. His books are not only wonderful reads but very important insights into public policy. His book Walter Reuther: The Most Dangerous Man in Detroit (1997) reveals the evolution and decline of both American labor and liberalism. The New York Times Book Review named it "An elegantly written and unfailingly intelligent portrait of American labor in the mid-twentieth century."
"A remarkable accomplishment….Lichtenstein provides an authoritative account of labor's decline, an agenda for its renewal, and an argument for the necessity of its revitalization if American democracy is to thrive in coming years, The result is a brilliant historical introduction…. If American labor's fortunes do improve, no recent book will have made a greater contribution to its revival." Joseph A. McCartin, Washington Post- Praise for State of the Union: A Century of American Labor (2007).
Called America's wisest historian of business and labor, Lichenstein pursued his research further with penetrating insights into employment practices. His book, The Retail Revolution: How Wal-Mart Created a Brave New World of Global Capitalism (2009), is a union of scholarship and literature: comprehensive socioeconomic history caught in an engrossing and chilling account.
Nelson Lichtenstein is a professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy. Current and past conferences include: The American Right and U.S. Labor: Politics, Ideology, and Imagination; The Traveling Box: Containers as the Global Icon of Our Era and Capitalism and Its Culture: Rethinking Mid-20th Century American Thought.
Finding a Sovereignty Solution for Afghanistan
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Today the U.S. and other countries treat governments as sovereign even when they cannot effectively patrol and police their own territory. How does this make sense? The argument to be made for reinvigorating sovereignty as a solution is that – at the moment – there is no more effective mechanism for boxing in 'bad guys' than to impel states to self-police. But, realistically, could we really tell all national leaders: You are responsible for anything emanating from your sovereign territory that violates U.S. sovereignty, including anyone who bears your passport? How would we hold other leaders (or even our own citizens) to account? What kind of a foreign policy would this require? What about failed states? And what would a 'sovereignty solution' look like applied to Afghanistan or Iraq?
Anna Simons is a professor of defense analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. She joined the NPS faculty in 1998.

She has written extensively about intervention, conflict, and the military from an anthropological perspective for a wide range of publications (The American Interest, The National Interest, Orbis, Third World Quarterly, Parameters, etc.). At NPS she teaches courses in the anthropology of conflict, military advising, low intensity conflict in Africa, and political anthropology.
What Went Wrong? What Went Right? What's Next? Reflections on Muslim History and the Modern World
For over 100 years, Muslim reformers have been preoccupied by the decline of Muslim political power and prestige relative both to past Muslim success and contemporary Western success. They and even earlier Muslims have pondered this question: What was going wrong or had gone wrong? The attempt to address this question and redress Muslim decline lies at the root of contemporary Muslim affairs and has inspired various movements and organizations including Al Qaeda. In his Athenaeum lecture, Hillel Fradkin will consider this question first from the perspective of the classic analysis of Muslim political history and its success, its strengths and liabilities, offered by the great Muslim historian Ibn Khaldun. He will then consider the grounds of modern Western success and include a discussion of the implications for both contemporary events and problems. Dr. Fradkin's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
Hillel Fradkin is a senior fellow of the Hudson Institute where he directs its Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World. He is the founder of Current Trends in Islamist Ideology, the leading journal on contemporary Islamism (sometimes known as militant or radical Islam) which he co-edits with Husain Haqqani, Hassan Mnemneh and Eric Brown. He is also general editor of Hudson's monograph series on contemporary Islam and Islamism as well as the center's website – www.futureofmuslimworld.com. Fradkin writes on both classical and contemporary Islam as well as Middle Eastern politics, American foreign and security policy and international relations. In addition to work on Islamic history and thought he has also written on the history of the problematic relationship of religion and politics as well as the history of Jewish thought.
Fradkin received his degree in Islamic Studies from the University of Chicago in 1978 for work done under the direction of the late Pakistani theologian Fazlur Rahman and was also a student of Muhsin Mahdi of Harvard University. He received a B.A. in Government from Cornell University.
Economic Principles, Government Policy and the Market Crisis
There is much we can learn from economic principles for the challenges that our economy faces. In reacting to the dramatic challenges of our day and confronting unprecedented concerns, it is easy for policymakers not to internalize some of the crucial implications of economic principles for the new and challenging contexts that they confront. In particular, these concepts are relevant for understanding issues that have confronted us during the current crisis, such as deleveraging and changes in the availability of credit, changes in the provision of public goods, predictability and government policy, and the broad nature of information and capital injections, systemic risk and bank supervision.
Financial economics has much to contribute to current policy discussions and from a research perspective these debates suggest interesting issues for financial theory and financial economics more generally. The implications of such themes as (1) utility maximization and market clearing, (2) resource constraints, (3) the costliness of policy uncertainty and benefits to predictability and (4) the forward-looking nature of economic incentives are important for evaluating policy.

CMC Forum Debate Night at the Ath: Should CMC Expand to 1400 Students?
CMC Forum Debate Night at the Ath: Should CMC's Alcohol Policy Change?
CMC Forum Debate Night at the Ath: Is CMC Male-dominated?
Still fired up from the first CMC Forum Debate Night at the Ath ("Is CMC a true liberal arts college?"), The CMC Forum is pleased to announce a second Debate Night. The premise is the same -- take campus issues and let passionate students duke it out. This time, however, we're excited to have more topics, more speakers, and a new format which should lead to more entertaining and interesting debate. And yes, the text messaging screen will make a return.
There will be three 20-minute debates, with each relying on two student debaters and one moderator from the faculty or administration. The student debaters will go head to head while moderators provide insight into the issue and give legitimacy to the discussion. It'll be serious but entertaining debate.
The first debate will cover the expansion of the College to 1400 students. With the addition of Claremont Hall and other building projects in the works, the Board of Trustees is moving ahead with its plans to make the student body bigger, part of a larger effort to raise the visibility of CMC within the national rankings. But is this the best choice for CMC? Will the fundamental nature of the college change with this population increase? What elements of CMC's character wil be lost? Or improved? What's the best way to proceed with the expansion?
The second debate will switch focus to current campus life: Should CMC change its alcohol policy? The role of alcohol in campus culture has been a long time issue for the college, since CMC remains a wet-campus. This policy, however, has come under fire in light of recent alcohol-related incidents, and the Dean of Students office has stated that "things have to change." Do they? If so, how?
And for the final debate we will turn to a question that often goes overlooked, but seems to merit consideration: Is CMC male-dominated? The college abandoned its single sex admissions decades ago, and the name Claremont Men's College only a few years later. But the college continues to be majority male, while women make up 57 percent of college students overall. Does this mean that CMC has a bias towards males? Do women have a different role on campus? Even if they do, does it even matter?
A full roster of debaters and moderators will be announced shortly. Stay tuned to CMCForum.com for updates, previews, and more.
Street Gang Patterns to Policies (and Beyond)
In 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice reported that after a decline in gang-related problems during the 1990's, the past several years has seen a notable resurgence in youth gangs throughout the country. From 2002 to 2007, for example, gangs were estimated to increase by 25.5%. Dr. Cheryl Maxson, an associate professor of Criminology, Law and Society from the University of California at Irvine, will speak about her work on developing effective policy prescriptions to address youth street gang violence.
Maxson specializes in the areas of crime and delinquency, especially youth violence, street gangs, juvenile justice system, and policing. She has co-authored Street Gang Patterns and Policies (2006) and Responding to Troubled Youth (1997) and co-edited The Eurogang Paradox: Gangs and Youth Groups in the U.S. and Europe (2000) and The Modern Gang Reader (2005). Over 40 of her articles have been published in academic journals as well. Dr. Maxon has served as Executive Counselor and Vice-President of the American Society of Criminology and was elected President and Vice-President of the Western Society of Criminology, where she is honored as a Fellow, and with the Society's Paul Tappan and Joseph Lohman awards.
Dr. Maxson's appearance is in conjunction with CMC Professor Fred Lynch's Government 109 class on "Juvenile Delinquency and Public Policy."
Radicalizing the Local: Post Bubble Urban Strategies
Teddy Cruz believes that "institutions of architecture have lost their socio-political relevance and advocacy." Challenged by the perennial alliance between militarization and urbanization at the San Diego/Tijuana border and reproduced in many U.S. neighborhoods, the work of Estudio Teddy Cruz builds out of these trans-border urban dynamics, using this territory of conflict as a backdrop to critically observe the clash between discriminating "forms of urban economic re-development and planning legislature and the emerging American neighborhoods nationwide made of immigrants whose spatial tactics of encroachment thrive on informality and alternative social organizational practices." (California Architects- Estudio Teddy Cruz)
Teddy Cruz searches for ways to transform discriminatory "legislature and lending structures in order to generate a new brand of bottom-up social and economic justice that can bridge the political equator." Need an explanation? Follow this link: http://www.world-architects.com/index.php?seite=ca_project_details_us&system_id=18111&profile_sprache=us.
Estudio Teddy Cruz has received awards for projects on both sides of the border, including various AIA San Diego chapter awards, Progressive Architecture Awards from Architecture Magazine, and the Architectural League of New York Young Architects Forum Award. It was selected as one of the national "Emergent Voices" in architecture by the Urban League in New York City. Estudio Teddy Cruz has been published in various architectural journals and newspapers, including The New York Times, Global Architecture, Log, Progressive Architecture, Architecture Record, Casas International, Thresholds MIT, The San Diego Union, The Los Angeles Times, Praxis Magazine, and Princeton Architecture Press' City Limits. It also exhibits locally, nationally, and internationally.
Teddy Cruz is currently an associate professor in Public Culture and Urbanism in the Visual Arts Department at the University of California, San Diego. He received his (B.A.-1982 : Rafael Landivar University Guatemala City, BArch-1987 : California State Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo, Fellow-1991 : Rome Prize in Architecture, MDesS-1997 : Harvard University GSD), beginning with an experimental summer workshop at SCI-ARC, his LA/LA Latin America/Los Angeles studio, has taught and lectured in various universities in the US, Latin America, and Europe. From 2000-2005, Teddy Cruz was associate professor in the School of Architecture at Woodbury University, San Diego. For his contributions to architecture pedagogy, Teddy received the Robert Taylor Teaching Award from the ACSA. And, he was awarded the 2004-2005 James Stirling Memorial Lecture on the City Prize, sponsored by the CCA in Montreal, the Van Alen Institute in New York, and the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Teddy Cruz's visit and talk are sponsored by the CMC History Department, the Luce Grant in the History Department and the Athenaeum.
Iran: A Challenge for Today's Nonproliferation Regime
On Wednesday, October 28, Iranian news media reported that Tehran proposed changes to a U.N. deal on atomic fuel, making demands that appeared to challenge the basis of the agreement with the United States, France and Russia. Over the past year, Iran's nuclear program has surged to become a point of fierce international contention. For this reason, Dr. Geoffrey Forden's visit to the Athenaeum to speak about nuclear nonproliferation and Iran's initiatives could not be timelier.
Dr. Forden, P'10, is a research associate with the Program on Science, Technology and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since 2000, his research at MIT since 2000 has included analysis of Russian and Chinese space system. He also studies how weapons proliferators acquire the technological knowledge and industrial infrastructure to produce weapons of mass destruction. In 2002-2003, Dr. Forden spent a year on leave from MIT to serve as the first Chief of Multidiscipline Analysis Section for UNMOVIC, the UN agency responsible for verifying and monitoring the dismantlement of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
Previous to coming to MIT, he was a strategic weapons analyst in the National Security Division of the Congressional Budget Office, performing research on ballistic missile defense and Russia's early warning satellites, among other topics. Dr. Forden has provided commentary on international weapons testing across the world, especially by "rogue states." He holds a doctorate in experimental high-energy physics from the University of Indiana and previously worked at a number of international particle accelerator centers.
A Winter Holiday Concert
CHARLES KAMM, conductor, Claremont Chamber Choir
The concert program will feature the hauntingly beautiful setting of the Magnificat text by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Also on the program are three stunning Latin motets by Renaissance composers: G. P. da Palestrina's Canite tuba, Hans Leo Hassler's Verbum caro factum est, and Heinrich Schütz's Cantate Domino. The Chamber Choir will offer three carols on the subject of the symbol of the Rose, by Michael Praetorius, John Joubert, and Herbert Howells, and two carols about bells, including a Finnish carol and the Russian Carol of the Bells. Rounding out the program is a selection of other seasonal carols such as Deck the Halls and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The Claremont Chamber Choir is sponsored by the Joint Music Program and numbers 22 student singers representing all four class years as well as all the colleges of the Claremont Consortium. It is directed by Charles W. Kamm, assistant professor of music at Scripps College.
This promises to be an evening of good company, traditional holiday buffet, and beautiful music. Come and join your friends to celebrate the season and the grand finale of the Athenaeum's fall semester.

BELMONT – Perhaps defeated Limestone College coach Brandon Scott paid Belmont Abbey's Tyshawn Good the biggest compliment of all after Saturday's 67-55 Crusaders' win in the Conference Carolinas basketball tournament game.
"If you'd have told me they would shoot 39 percent and we would hold Good to nine points, I'd think we could and would win," Scott said. "But they beat us on both ends of the floor – and their whole team deserves that credit."
That's just how it went on perhaps the best night of Tyshawn Good's record-setting career.
While the record books will show Good as Abbey's top single-season scorer, No. 2 in single-game scoring and just 14 points shy of becoming the school's fifth 2,000-point scorer entering this week's NCAA Division II national tournament, it'll be hard to beat how good the feeling he had last Saturday night after becoming a league champion.
"I'm ecstatic now," said Good, whose Crusaders are preparing for Saturday's 5 p.m. Southeast Regional NCAA Division II quarterfinal game at top-seeded USC-Aiken. "I'm a winner now. To win a championship, which has been our goal all four years I've been here, it's got to be a team effort."
How much of a team effort?
Good's nine-point game not only snapped his personal streak 16 straight games with 20 or more points – a stretch that included two 40-point games and eight 30-point games – it marked the only time all season Good hasn't reached double figures. And it's come in a year in which Good has led the nation in scoring throughout the season – and remains tops among all men's scorere in any classification at 27.0 points per game.
"I think that's the kind of game that shows just how much Tyshawn has matured as a player," Belmont Abbey coach Stephen Miss said. "He's spent four years trying to be a more complete player and, I think, the last few games have shown just how far he's come."
During last week's Conference Carolinas tournament, after which Good was named most valuable player, he contributed critical late assists while scoring 21 points in a 93-85 home victory over Queens in the quarterfinals, tallied a game-high 38 points in a 105-87 win at top-seeded Barton in the semifinals before foul trouble helped limit him to nine points in Saturday's championship game.
Good and fellow seniors Jay Council, Alonzo Long and Terrone Sheffey, a former Gaston Day School standout, have talked all season long about how much they wanted to leave behind a legacy for future Abbey players.
So when Sheffey was forced to miss Saturday's title game after injuring his hamstring in the semifinal win at Barton, it gave Good even more motivation to reach those lofty goals.
"Terrone's like a brother and see one of your brothers go down hurt a lot," Good said of Sheffey, who is hopeful of playing in this weekend's regional. "But it made us want to win that much more and, I think, made us stronger."
Juniors Justin Kuhlman and Ryan Conrad filled in at point guard for Sheffey, combining for 22 points between them, and junior forward Chris Davis added team-highs of 18 points and nine rebounds for the Crusaders in the title-game victory.
"In my heart, I think our guys are winners and will do whatever it takes to win," Good said. "When you have guys like that, you can go as far as you want.
"Those guys push me in practice every day and we push each other. To go out with a conference championship is a lifelong memory I'll always have. It means so much. And now I'll be able to come back and see that banner on the wall and know how much it meant."
Saturday's game also means Good gets at least one more game to pursue Abbey immortality as a 2,000-point scorer.
"I wasn't really looking for 2,000 points," said Good, who would join Carl Bell (2,201 points), David Kershaw (2,049), LaVar Curry (2,044) and Richard Barbee (2,018) in that select club in Belmont Abbey history. "Honestly, I'd rather have the conference title instead of the 2,000 points."

Who was it that was most valuable in our first Kobe-Shaq championship?..... Harper and Shaw....
Melo has failed to get much better teams than this one, even when healthy, very far. It's not his scoring or his talent.... it's between the ears and his demeanor. If he's the one the team is counting on then it's another frustrating season for NY.... If they let a guy like Kidd lead then they have a chance when healthy.
If you want to keep taking shots at what I say and insinuating that I'm not "watching" then just put me on ignore.... that way we both won't waste our time....
Didn't mean to insult you Roos...you know we usually agree on a lot of things. This was just one of them I really felt that you were wrong about...and still do.
With that being said, I think Melo deserves SOME credit for the Knicks late season turnaround...it was looking like the Knicks were going to collapse, with all the injuries and losses piling up....but Melo sucked it up (and he's playing hurt btw) and he's doing what he can out there for the Knicks. He's definitely a top 5 player this year in my book, and like I said before, IF the Knicks get the 2 seed, they have a shot at going pretty far (meaning they will lose to the HEAT in the ECF). That in itself would be a huge accomplishment for the Knicks.
Speaking of injuries, Kenyon Martin went down in the Celtics game....literally every single big man for the Knicks has gone down with an injury this year. They really need Chandler back now. They have a tough schedule to finish (with like 4 b2b's left).
Key, you think my bets are safe as far as Knicks finishing ahead of the Nets and finishing as a top 4 team?
I am pretty confident that your bets are safe. We're 4.5 up on the Nets, and while we have a much tougher upcoming schedule, I don't see the Nets winning enough and the Knicks losing enough for them to get past us. Even if that did happen, Knicks would most likely end up still being a Top 4 team, but like I said, I think the Atlantic Division is ours.
And on K-Mart, he should be fine, injury doesn't seem to be anything serious. I just hope Tyson can play tomorrow night against Miami.
Nice! Yeah, I am looking at the schedules, and I think the Nets would have to nearly go undefeated or lose only 1 game the rest of the way and the Knicks would have to go like 4-7 down the stretch for the Nets to capture the lead.
That's good news on K-Mart....I love that pick up for NYK so far....he's gonna be instrumental in the playoffs. Knicks need to avoid the Chicago Bulls at all costs in the playoffs....either draw the hawks or celtics...cuz if they draw the Bulls? I don't see it ending well for the Knicks as they for whatever reason do NOT match up well with the Bulls!
With you 110%, I want no part of the Bulls in the first round. They are tough and very well-coached. Would feel pretty confident going up against the Celtics or Hawks.

Steve Jobs Remembered
Mark ZuckerbergFred WilsonMark PincusSergey BrinLarry PageBill GatesJack WelchSean ParkerTim O'ReillyGuy KawasakiBrian HalliganAlexandra WilsonDrew HoustonJon VecheyJason Fried
Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you.
–Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook. Via Facebook
The iconic entrepreneur of the information age is gone. We are all mortal. Steve more so than his peers it seems. But really he had no peer. There are great entrepreneurs all over the place. But Steve was better than all of them. He is a role model for entrepreneurs everywhere.
–Wilson is a VC and principal of Union Square Ventures. Via his blog at avc.com
Steve inspired us all to create and showed that attention to detail can lead to beautiful things.
–Pincus is the founder of Zynga. Via Twitter.
From the earliest days of Google, whenever Larry and I sought inspiration for vision and leadership, we needed to look no farther than Cupertino. Steve, your passion for excellence is felt by anyone who has ever touched an Apple product (including the Macbook I am writing this on right now). And I have witnessed it in person the few times we have met. On behalf of all of us at Google and more broadly in technology, you will be missed very much. My condolences to family, friends, and colleagues at Apple.
–Brin is the cofounder of Google. Via Google+
I am very, very sad to hear the news about Steve. He was a great man with incredible achievements and amazing brilliance. He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actually should have been thinking before you thought it. His focus on the user experience above all else has always been an inspiration to me. He was very kind to reach out to me as I became CEO of Google and spend time offering his advice and knowledge even though he was not at all well. My thoughts and Google's are with his family and the whole Apple family.
–Page is the cofounder of Google. Via Google+
I'm truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs' death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work. Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.
–Gates is the founder of Microsoft. Via thegatesnotes.com
Steve jobs defined the word 'cool'. No business person has ever done this.
–Welch is former General Electric CEO. Said at the World Business Forum on Oct. 6 before a crowd of nearly 4,000 attendees.
I never had the privilege of meeting Steve Jobs, and this somber fact may be the greatest regret of my entire life.
–Parker is founder Napster and former president Facebook. Via Facebook
May the uncompromising vision of Steve Jobs live on, inspiring others, making them reach further, do better.
–O'Reilly is the founder O'Reilly Media. Via Twitter
Steve wasn't exactly a warm and fuzzy guy, but he got the best results out of people. He could drive you crazy because the trash can icon didn't look right or a certain shade of black wasn't black enough.
–Kawasaki was formerly Apple's "chief evangelist". Via Twitter
I read just about every book written about him—there were, like, 50—and I wanted to be just like him. I said, 'I'm going to be mercurial, and design driven and get really into the details.' And you know what? I couldn't. I just didn't have the DNA. It was like trying to be like Michael Jordan. Still, I can honestly say I wouldn't have started my company without his inspiration. We named our first conference room after him.
–Halligan is the cofounder of HubSpot. Via a phone call
Steve Jobs was a true visionary. He changed our world. He leaves behind a powerful legacy.
–Wilson (left) is the cofounder of Gilt Groupe. Via Twitter
What a sad day for the world. We'll miss you, Steve.
–Houston is the founder of Dropbox. Via Twitter
He was one of the few people in the world who was both a product and marketing visionary. We would all do well to focus on the two things that made him great: amazing products, enduring legacy.
–Vechey (left) is the founder PopCap Games. Via email from an iPhone
Steve Jobs changed.
He changed computers.
He changed software. He changed design.
He changed publishing.
He changed film.
He changed music.
He changed advertising.
He changed retail.
He changed business.
He changed beige.
He changed expectations.
He changed our minds.
He changed them.
He changed us. He changed you.
'Don't be sad because it's over. Smile because it happened.' –Dr. Seuss
Now what are you going to change?

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.1.3!
Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://dist.codehaus.org/jruby/
JRuby 1.1.3 is the third point release of JRuby 1.1. The fixes in this
release are primarily obvious compatibility problems and performance
enhancements. Our goal is to put out point releases more frequently for

rapid release cycle to better address issues brought up by users of JRuby.
- RubyGems 1.2
- Greatly improved interpreter performance
- jrubyc compiler usability improvements and bug fixes
- Reduced memory usage and object churn
- Dozens of IO-related and core class RubySpec fixes + reduced memory for IO
- ThreadGroup fixes to resolve Mongrel "dead thread" issues
- New options/properties for tweaking JIT, thread pooling, and more
- Block invocation performance improvements
- Much faster Time performance

|Freediving Specialty Courses - Waterman Survival and more
Waterman Survival℠ Course (WMC)
Training utilized by Champion Big Wave Surfers Garrett McNamara & Andrew Cotton, US Navy Seals, Pro-Surfers Jamie O'Brien, Jeff Wetherall, and many more...
In September 2012, F.I.I.'s Director of Education Martin Stepanek took the FII Waterman Survival course to Praia de Norte, Portugal where he trained Big Wave Surfing Champion Garrett McNamara and his safety team. Martin utilized this experience to finely tune new safety techniques, and went so far as to successfully test them himself in 20ft waves (see right). This course provides groundbreaking information changing the confidence and safety of extreme watermen worldwide.
"The knowledge that Martin Stepanek (FII) has about human physiology and how to apply it is invaluable to anyone who enters the water. In the big wave arena safety is finally becoming the number one priority and everyone can feel safer after the FII Waterman Survival Course. It only makes sense that as surfers we would look to the expertise of a sport that entails long breath holds and possible blackouts." - Garrett McNamara
Any experienced waterman, from surfers, rescue swimmers, lifeguards and whitewater kayakers will easily recall at least one moment in their lives when the power of Mother Nature's ultimate force has pushed them to their limits. Gasping for breath, they reached the surface feeling there was nothing else to give…or was there? During this groundbreaking course, your FII certified Waterman Survival Instructor will dispel common misconceptions and get to the bottom of the true urge to breathe. Participants learn how to retrain the urge to breathe increasing their CO2 tolerance and breath-hold while learning key specialized safety protocols to effectively manage victims of breath-hold related incidents in extreme conditions. This course has set a new standard of waterman safety training worldwide.
The WMC course is run over 1 day with a minimum of 4hrs academics and 2hrs pool drills.
Waterman Survival℠ Extended (WME) - The extended version of the Waterman Survival Course also incorporates the FII Level 1 Freediver certification course thus allowing us to add-on a series of advanced open water depth drills. With the FII Level 1 certification completed, the Waterman Survival training jumps up a few notches and into a more serious and realistic open-water environment where students are taken through drills simulating high-stress underwater disorientation training and safety scenarios - this version is not for the faint-hearted. This is the ultimate waterman safety training experience.
The WME course is usually run over 3 days with 9hrs academics, 3hrs pool drills and 2hrs open water depth drills. If you are already a FII certified freediver, please contact your WMS Instructor for a reviewed schedule & pricing on the extended version.
The WMS and WME courses are designed for experienced waterman with a medium-high level of in-water comfort and of excellent health and fitness.
To find your nearest Waterman Survival or Waterman Survival Extended Instructor go to the FII Instructor Locator and use the drop-down menu for 'Professional Rating:'.
