Paul John Eakin's earlier work Fictions in Autobiography is a key text in autobiography studies. In it he proposed that the self that finds expression in autobiography is in fundamental ways a kind of fictive construct, a fiction articulated in a fiction. In this new book Eakin turns his attention to what he sees as the defining assumption of autobiography: that the story of the self does refer to a world of biographical and historical fact. Here he shows that people write autobiography not in some private realm of the autonomous self but rather in strenuous engagement with the pressures that life in culture entails. In so demonstrating, he offers fresh readings of autobiographies by Roland Barthes, Nathalie Sarraute, William Maxwell, Henry James, Ronald Fraser, Richard Rodriguez, Henry Adams, Patricia Hampl, John Updike, James McConkey, and Lillian Hellman. In the introduction Eakin makes a case for reopening the file on reference in autobiography, and in the first chapter he establishes the complexity of the referential aesthetic of the genre, the intricate interplay of fact and fiction in such texts. In subsequent chapters he explores some of the major contexts of reference in autobiography: the biographical, the social and cultural, the historical, and finally, underlying all the rest, the somatic and temporal dimensions of the lived experience of identity. In his discussion of contemporary theories of the self, Eakin draws especially on cultural anthropology and developmental psychology.

What: The defense tech researcher plans an e-newsletter.
Why: Email newsletters aren't dead, despite the proliferation of news apps, social media and other online news products. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which funds research into futuristic weaponry, robotics, biological-machine interfaces and other cutting edge topics wants a daily electronic news product to help keep up with innovations and trends.
The product will cover breaking news in IT, biologics, engineering, cybersecurity, big data, electronic warfare, advanced communications, space system, weapons platforms and other topics on a daily basis for an audience of about 120 DARPA personnel. DARPA's newsletter will have about 35 to 50 stories in each edition, with a headline, link, and summary, will be viewable across a range of online delivery platforms, and contain stories from U.S. and English-language international media.
The vendor will have to provide DARPA with metrics on open rates and clicks, with an eye to making sure the content is resonating with its audience.

Peya/Soares Capture Queen's Doubles Crown
The Queen's Club, London, England
by ATP Staff|
Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares captured their ninth ATP World Tour team title on Sunday as they edged home favourite Jamie Murray and his Australian partner John Peers 4-6, 7-6(4), 10-4 in the final of the Aegon Championships at The Queen's Club.
Peya and Soares lifted their first trophy of the season, having missed out in the finals at Doha (l. to Berdych/Hajek), Auckland (l. to Knowle/Melo) and Indian Wells (l. to Bryans). The Austrian/Brazilian duo won five titles last year en route to qualifying for the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals for the first time.
Second seeds Peya and Soares made up for the final disappointment they suffered at this ATP World Tour 250 grass-court tournament last year, when they were beaten in the final by Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan.
"It's very good," said Peya. "It gives us confidence for the road to Wimbledon of course. We had an early exit at Roland Garros, so it was good to get a few matches under our belt."

Peya and Soares dropped serve once to surrender the opener, but held their nerve in the second set tie-break and the match decider to claim victory in one hour and 37 minutes. The 33-year-old Peya won his 11th ATP World Tour title, while the 32-year-old Soares collected his 17th.
"It was a very tough match, very close," said Soares. "Murray and Peers were serving pretty good. They didn't give us many chances on their serve. We managed to hang in there. We had a couple of crucial no-Ad points at the start of the second set that we managed to hold. At the end, we played some great points in both breakers. It was good to take the lead early on and manage to keep that all the way."
Murray and Peers had beaten the Bryans, the defending champions, in the second round en route to reaching their second ATP World Tour final of the season. They had clinched their fourth team title on clay in Munich last month (d. Fleming/Hutchins).
Murray was hoping to become the first British doubles winner at The Queen's Club since Jeremy Bates teamed up with American Kevin Curren in 1990. The Scot dropped to an 11-7 finals record, while Peers has a 4-2 mark.
"We played a good match," said Murray. "We didn't lose serve. We just obviously didn't quite get it done at the end. Overall it was a great week for us. I don't think we could have done much more today. It's just the way it goes."

It's back to my roots with this one. It's been a long time since I did a strip where the joke was rooted in why there's no change or motion from one panel to the next. Also been far too long since I did any crude sexual humor, or a gross-out gag. So! Three old birds with one stone.

Men Only
Men Only
|Matt Berry
|Pornographic men's
|4 weekly
|Paul Raymond Publications
|First issue
|Blue Active Media Ltd
|United Kingdom
Men Only is a British soft-core pornographic magazine published by Paul Raymond Publications since 1971. However, the title goes back to 1935 when it was founded by C. Arthur Pearson Ltd as a pocket magazine (115×165 mm). It set out its editorial stall in the first issue:
'We don't want women readers. We won't have women readers...' It sought 'bright articles on current male topics'.[1]
Humour was at the heart of the title, though from the start it carried fiction, wide-ranging articles and plates of 'art' nudes. Covers were initially text-only, then carried caricatures of famous people and photographs in the late 1950s. It published colour illustrations of models by artists such as Dickens and Vargas (as published in Esquire in the US), on a page labelled 'Let's Join the Ladies'.
When Pearson closed the Strand Magazine in 1950, it was castigated by The Economist for concentrating its resources on London Opinion and Men Only.[2] Men Only had coloured frontispieces and rather trivial main pages.[3]
Another pocket title, Lilliput, was better known but Men Only took over London Opinion and then Lilliput in 1960. All these titles were affected by the growth of television; C. Arthur Pearson was taken over by Newnes, which became part of International Publishing Corporation (and was later renamed IPC Media) in the mid-1960s. It also lost readers to titles such as Haymarket's Man About Town (later Town) and Playboy. In response, Men Only adopted a larger format and more pin-ups but was still mainly in black and white with a colour pin-up centre spread. It was sold on to City Magazines.
In 1971, Paul Raymond, who ran night-clubs in London's Soho district, relaunched Men Only as the start of a top-shelf publishing empire and it was the main competitor to Mayfair during the 1970s and 1980s (Raymond latterly took over Mayfair).
Over the years, models featured in Men Only have also appeared in different photo-shoots in Club International (a title bought from IPC). The early issues of Men Only often contained serious articles and interviews, though since the 1980s these have largely been omitted. Photographers from the early years included Fred Enke and R.B. Kane, and more recently Bob Twigg.
Between January 2007 and December 2008, Men Only ran the full-colour comic strip Brit Starr by writer John A. Short and artist Gabrielle Noble. The strip spoofed current celebrity culture in one-page erotic gags.[4]
The publishers of Men Only also publish Club International, Escort, Mayfair, Men's World, and Razzle. Their magazines are generally available in most newsagents, although some larger retailers require a modesty bag in order to protect minors from seeing gratuitous flesh on display on the cover. As from 2013, the magazine is also available in digital format exclusively on the Paul Raymond digital newsstand. Men Only also has a digital identity on the official Paul Raymond site, where the hardcore imagery not found in the print version is also shown.

Even as Sikh groups in Punjab and in the diaspora prepared to make the 30th anniversary of Operation Bluestar a memorable event, the violence in the Golden Temple complex on Friday has left them angry and disappointed at what most saw as a "senseless action that has brought disrepute to the community".
The clash has been universally condemned even by hardline Sikhs, who were upbeat at the recent moves to request the United Nations to investigate alleged human rights violations during the army action on the Sikh shrine.
With new evidence about Operation Bluestar surfacing in recent months, the demand for an international investigation has acquired traction and all eyes were on New York where the Sikhs for Justice – a human rights advocacy group -- is submitting a formal complaint to the UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights. After the United Nations launched an investigation into war crimes and human rights' violations in Sri Lanka, Sikh groups and parliamentarians of Sikh origin in the UK and Europe have been pressing for the same for Operation Bluestar and its aftermath.
As news of the clash spread on Friday, many in the Sikh intelligentsia felt it is against the ethos of the religion and also that "publicity seeking gimmicks like this" would do more harm. According to Gurpreet Singh of the Kendri Guru Singh Sabha, "Mr Simranjeet Singh Mann lost his security deposit in the Lok Sabha elections from Khadoor Sahib. This clash looks like it was designed to get him some limelight and was avoidable."
There is also dismay at the potential that incidents like this have in disrupting the peace of the last few years in Punjab.
The laxity of the security apparatus to anticipate trouble on a momentous event like this, particularly at a time when the pro-Khalistan elements in India and abroad are itching for trouble is being questioned. Says Mandeep Bajwa, a Punjab-watcher, "The Parkash Singh Badal government has failed to maintain law and order and this incident will be welcomed by the pro-Khalistan lobby lobby abroad." For the past 30 years, the anniversary of Operation Bluestar has been usually marked by pro-Khalistan slogans and speeches with the kin of former militant being honoured at times.
Dr Gurtej Singh, another radical Sikh scholar, who still believes in the idea of Khalistan is equally critical.
"Is it reasonable to draw attention in this manner by pulling out swords? It displays a lack of imagination and failure of leadership. Mr Mann was given complete trust by the community in 1989 when he won the election with an overwhelming majority, but failed to do anything worthwhile," he said.

Article Summary
Gold has long been seen as a financial safe haven in times of economic uncertainty. This don't look like changing any time soon with the price of gold reaching a record high of US$1377.60 an ounce this week on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. That might be good news for gold miners but not so good for the manufacturers of electronic devices that are reliant on not only gold, but also other precious metals. In some modern day alchemy, researchers have modeled and developed new classes of alloy materials that boast the properties that makes gold so attractive for electronic applications.

Federer hopes to play 2016 Games in Rio
Thursday - 12/6/2012, 4:36pm EST

AP Sports Writer
SAO PAULO (AP) - Roger Federer says he won't play as often in the next few years but wants to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The 31-year-old Swiss star intends to be more mindful about the tournaments he plays to make sure he can keep playing at a high level.
"I have to make sure that I take care of my schedule, of my body, of my mind," he said Thursday. "Hopefully, I can still stay on tour for many more years and hopefully play the Olympics here in three and a half years or so, so I have to look far ahead and not just the next six months."
The winner of 17 Grand Slams is in Sao Paulo for exhibition matches involving Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tommy Robredo, Tommy Haas and Thomaz Bellucci. The Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, are also participating. Federer plays Bellucci, Brazil's top-ranked player, on Thursday.
Federer has competed in four Olympics, winning a doubles gold in 2008 and a singles silver this year. He would love to make it to the Rio Games.
"There is a lot of passion for sports here," he said. "It's a hot place to play tennis right now."
Federer, who ended the season ranked No. 2, said this year was difficult because of additional commitments that kept him from practice and his family.
"I've played a lot of tennis. It's been a big challenge, especially with the Olympics and the Davis Cup this year," he said. "I found my way back to world No. 1 and it took a lot of sacrifices. I'd like to be home a little bit more often and in a relaxed fashion."
Still, he said it was a rewarding season.
"I'm very happy that I'm still playing at a very high level," said Federer, who won six titles this year, including Wimbledon. "I had one of my best years on tour this year, and one of the most emotional ones, of course. Next year tournament victories will probably be more important than the rankings, that's why I need to make sure I practice a lot next year."
Federer played 19 tournaments in 2012, two more than top-ranked Novak Djokovic. No. 3 Andy Murray also played 19 and Rafael Nadal, nursing a knee injury, played only 11.
"I'm not going to play 25 tournaments, but every tournament that I will be playing I'll be emotionally attached to it because I either won there before or because I've been there many times or because I love the city or the country and the fans," he said. "Today I've reached a point in my life that I can pick and choose where I want to play and how much I want to play."
One of the tournaments he left off his 2013 schedule was Miami, the Masters event in March he has played since 1999 and won twice.
"Miami was a tough decision for me," he said. "But I have to take some time off, first of all, but most importantly, I need to practice. This year I couldn't practice at all. Something had to go in the calendar and that was Miami, unfortunately."
Federer said he thinks he will need two Grand Slams and five to eight titles in other tournaments to get back to No. 1.
"It's difficult," he said. "But I'm happy to set that challenge and I'll give everything I have."
