$INTC: Intel INTC, -0.53% shares added 2.2%. The chip maker said early Tuesday that it filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue senior unsecured notes. Proceeds from the issue will be used to buy back shares.
Intel didn't comment on the size of the deal, but Doug Freedman, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, thinks it will likely be in the range of $2 billion to $3 billion.
"We believe the action should likely prove prudent given low debt borrowing costs (we estimate 1.5%-2% range) in today's environment for A+ rated paper," he said in a report.
Moody's Investors Service assigned an A1 rating, categorized as "upper medium grade," to the proposed debt offering. The rating reflects Intel's "dominant and defensible position in the microprocessor sector, a strong liquidity profile, and modest financial leverage," said Richard Lane, Moody's senior vice president, in a statement.
@RolfeWinkler: $INTC plans to borrow money to buy back stock. Could be pressure for other tech cos to similarly lever up cash heavy balance sheets. #wsj
@rinaldi224: Let $INTC run, I'll short that all day!
$WYNN and $LVS: Shares of Wynn Resorts WYNN, -1.24% and Las Vegas Sands Corp. LVS, +1.78% are being hit by a report in The Wall Street Journal that Chinese authorities are stepping up scrutiny of Macau's casino industry and the junket operators that bankroll high-rolling gamblers.
"In recent weeks, police in mainland China and Macau have detained people from at least three of Macau's biggest junket operators, the middlemen who extend credit to high-roller players and collect the debts in China," the Journal said. The newspaper also reported that Macau casino operators noticed more restrictions on cross-border financial transactions involving Chinese funds and have received requests for information from the police about guests staying at their hotels. "Such requests aren't unheard of but have raised concerns in light of the other events, these people say," the article said. Read China tightens reins on Macau
@mdsbarry: @OptionsHawk $WYNN is OK until they finish with $LVS, the big cheese. Both might seek refuge in the US Embassy. Yeh, right.
@Brian_Fey: Casino Stocks - slaughtered! Oh Macau… $WYNN $MGM $LVS $MPEL
@ReformedBroker: New regime in Beijing cracking down on Macau casino gangsterism, $WYNN and $LVS feelin the flavor...
$MSFT: Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.23% was also drawing some attention on Twitter in reaction to a report by Bloomberg that it is failing to challenge Apple in tablets.

Morristown Central School is considering paying tuition for students to attend school in Heuvelton in an effort to reduce costs and increase the quality of education offered in each district.
The conversation surrounding tuitioning is still in its infancy, Morristown Board of Education member Mary Anne Bailey said, but the two districts are interested.
Earlier this year Hermon-DeKalb, Heuvelton and Morristown central schools conducted a $30,000 feasibility study into the potential cost savings from the three forming a regional high school.
But because no state law currently exists allowing a regional high school configuration, and a merger would require another feasibility study, Ms. Bailey said tuitioning appears to offer the best near-term solution.
We feel as though were never going to have the [regional high school] legislation, Morristown Board of Education Vice President W. Darrell Merkel said. So why spend any more time on regionalization?
Ms. Bailey said Hermon-DeKalb Central School has backed out of the discussion following push-back from its board of education.
Hermon-DeKalb Central School Superintendent Ann M. Adams could not be reached to comment.
Heuvelton Superintendent Susan E. Todd confirmed that Hermon-DeKalb is ready to take a step back.
Mrs. Todd said a tuitioning arraignment between Morristown and Heuvelton would be advantageous to both districts.
The arrangement would see high school students from Morristown taking classes at Heuvelton Central School. The Morristown Central School District would be responsible for paying tuition to Heuvelton.
Mrs. Todd said tuitioning would work better than a full merger of the districts because the tax rate in Heuvelton, with a true value tax rate of $19.90 per $1,000 of property value, is higher than Morristown, which has a true value tax rate of $14.34.
If Morristown were to merge with Heuvelton it would mean an increase in taxes for Morristown residents.
Morristown Superintendent David J. Glover said the schools need to look into what a tuitioning agreement would entail before taking further steps.
Mr. Glover said the districts will need to determine transportation costs, the impact on the two communities, how the school buildings will be used, what sorts of programing advantages will be offered and how tuitioning will impact staffing levels.
Mrs. Todd said she plans on discussing tuitioning with her districts school board when it meets Aug. 28.

text: Been there, tried that, flopped horribly. It's getting to the point where you have to shave off the labor costs to compete with the parts costs/warrenties that other places can offer. Basically you starve your self just to get buisness. Better market in fixing cars IMHOOk, Im thinking of starting a small home-based computer repair and small business networking business on the side. I already do some computer repair from the house/garage, and this would give me a tax break, allow me to write off some power, my new puter ;D, some phone time, and mileage on the car. God willing, it would gain in the mean time and might actually turn into a profit making biz. Now, for my target area, I live on the Mississippi gulf coast (just west of the Pascagoula area for all you Ray Stevens fans). There are some computer stores in the area, most are on the expensive side. I plan to travel to the customers house when possible (convenience for them, cash for me ), and order all parts on an as needed basis to keep initial costs down. Any opinions are recommendations?

|READ FIRST: The following section provides very basic information that generally applies to most people. Foreclosure law is very complicated and does not fit a simple explanation, in part because the rules vary based on different situations. Nonprofit organizations in most counties, and even nationally, can help answer specific questions you may have about a foreclosure proceeding. We encourage you to contact NeighborWorks or a local housing legal aid agency or community-based nonprofit to find reliable information.
For more information about foreclosure laws:
The law on foreclosure is changing often. Make sure you read the most updated laws.
Find legal help with a foreclosure in your county.
When a lender uses the nonjudicial foreclosure process against a borrower who fails to pay on a mortgage for his or her primary residence, the lender gives up the right to collect a deficiency judgment against the borrower. But most lenders prefer this process anyway because it is much faster and less costly.
Judicial foreclosures are rare in California. A judicial foreclosure allows the lender to get a deficiency judgment against the borrower. BUT the homeowner has the "right of redemption," which allows him or her to buy the home back from the successful bidder at the auction for 1 year after the sale. The process is longer and more costly than a nonjudicial foreclosure.
These are the main steps in a nonjudicial foreclosure, which apply to the majority of foreclosures in California.
The Notice of Sale must:
Note: Before the foreclosure process begins, the lender or loan servicer may send you letters (over the course of several months) demanding payment. Those letters are NOT notices of default.
You have up until 5 days before the foreclosure sale to cure the default and stop the process. This is called "reinstatement" of the loan. During the 21-day period after the Notice of Sale is recorded, any person or institution (like a bank) with an interest in your home has the right to redeem the home up until the nonjudicial foreclosure sale/auction. This means that they must pay the entire loan in full.
Whoever buys your home at the foreclosure sale/auction cannot just change the locks to the home. The new owner must serve you with a 3-day written notice to "quit" (move out) and, if you do NOT move out in the 3 days, go through the formal eviction process in court in order to get possession of the home. That process typically takes several weeks. Learn more about the eviction process.
Tenants in some California cities may still have a right to stay in their buildings. Cities with eviction or rent control laws prohibit new owners from using foreclosure as a reason for evicting tenants.
Note: If you are a tenant and want to find out if the place you rent is in foreclosure, you can record, in your county recorder's office, a form called a Request for Notice, asking that you be notified of any foreclosure proceedings. This way you, as the tenant, will receive a copy of the Notice of Default and Notice of Sale and know the status of the foreclosure. You can buy a Request for Notice at stores that sell legal forms or get 1 from the customer service department of a title company.
There are resources for tenants to get more information about their options. Read Tenant's Rights in Foreclosed on Properties. Tenants may also call the Tenant Foreclosure Hotline at 1-888-495-8020.
Learn more details and read the federal law protecting tenants in foreclosures.

An average refund of $714.17 is waiting for 1,007 taxpayers at locations across Utah whose federal refund checks have been returned to the United States Internal Revenue Service as undeliverable.
The checks, worth more than $719,000, may be claimed as soon as the Utah taxpayers update addresses with the federal agency.
In some cases, a taxpayer has more than one check waiting.
Nationwide, an average refund of $963 is waiting for 95,746 taxpayers whose refund checks have been returned as undeliverable, totaling more than $92.2 million.
"Every year, many taxpayers miss their refunds because they move without notifying the IRS or Postal Service of a change of address," explained IRS commissioner Mark Everson. "For those missing their check, the IRS is making it easier than ever for taxpayers to update their information and claim their refunds."
Carbon County taxpayers with Internet access may use the "Where's My Refund?" feature on the home page of the IRS Web site to learn the status of federal refunds.
The site may be accessed at IRS.gov.
To use the feature, local residents must enter Social Security numbers, filing status and the refund amounts shown on the taxpayers 2005 tax return.
When the information is submitted, the site will display the status of a refund and, in some cases, provide instructions on how to resolve potential account issues.
Carbon County taxpayers may access a telephone version of "Where's My Refund?" by calling the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1954.
Refund checks can go astray for a variety of reasons, pointed out the IRS commissioner.
Sometimes a life change results in a change of address. When a taxpayer moves or changes address and fails to notify the IRS or the U.S. Postal Service, a check sent to the last known address is returned to the IRS.
"Where's My Refund?" has an online mailing address update feature for taxpayers whose refund checks were returned to IRS.
If an undeliverable check was originally issued within the past 12 months, the taxpayer will be prompted online to provide an updated mailing address.
The address update feature is only available to taxpayers using the Web version of "Where's My Refund?"
Taxpayers with undelivered refund checks who access "Where's My Refund?" by phone will receive instructions on next steps.
Individuals whose refunds were not returned to the IRS as undeliverable cannot update their mailing addresses through the "Where's My Refund?" service.
Local taxpayers may ensure the IRS has correct addresses by filing Form 8822, Change of Address.
Residents may download the form from IRS.gov or request a copy by calling the agency toll-free at 1-800-829-3676).
Local residents who do not have access to the Internet and think they may be missing a refund should check financial records or contact tax preparers, then call the IRS toll-free assistance line at 1-800-829-1040 to update addresses.
Taxpayers may also take advantage of direct deposit. Taxpayers who choose the service receive federal refunds directly into a personal checking or savings account.
Direct deposit, which also guards against theft or lost refund checks, is available for filers of paper and electronic federal income tax returns., concluded the IRS commissioner

R&D Concept Model Ride for Morten Lund
This is a ride cymbal made for our Danish artist and jazz drummer Morten Lund. It is a 22" sandblased Byzance Extra Dry Thin Ride. I've made that exact same cymbal already before for Jose James' drummer Richard Spaven. And now Morten found out about it somehow and wanted that sound too. I am sure he'll be using it at our upcoming Meinl Drum Festival in Sweden.
I've also produced a short video so you guys can hear its sound too. I've used a Zoom Q3HD and a ProMark 7A stick. Not sure if the sound really is representative, but I hope you get the idea. What do you think?

The Justice of God and Penal Substitution
"The doctrine Anselm articulated, known as the penal substitution theory of the atonement, has long been considered an essential aspect of all doctrine that is truly evangelical. Historically, all who have abandoned this view have led movements away from evangelicalism. "
In simple terms, the penal substiutionary view states that Christ suffered the penalty for sin in man's place by dying on the cross. His death satisfies the holy wrath of God against sin and allows God to justly forgive sinners.This view seems at its root to be unjust. How can it be considered justice for an innocent party to suffer the penalty due a guilty party? This seems to run contrary to the basic idea of justice; yet we are told that it is precisely because of God's unswervable justice that the death of Christ was necessary.

Carrie Phelps, Mind-Body Medicine PhD student
Carrie PhelpsMind-Body Medicine Student
"Saybrook fits so well with my job."
Carrie Phelps is the Health and Well-Being Technical Advisor for the YMCA of the USA. She designs health programs that YMCAs across the country take on, and then she helps them adjust the programs to fit their specific populations.
Carrie, who received her masters degree in Exercise Science from Denver University, is also a PhD student studying Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook, with a focus on healthcare systems.
"I hadn't even thought about going back to school," she remembers. "But I was sitting in an orientation given by the College of Mind-Body Medicine, and I just knew that it was what I wanted to do."
The Mind-Body Medicine program is a perfect fit for Carrie: one that emphasizes the individual person, centers on research and practice, and allows her to specialize in organizational systems and change.
It's lived up to her expectations. "Saybrook has truly been one of the most extraordinary experiences in my life," she says.
"The faculty is amazing and the classes are about practicing what we preach and are very experiential. We're all going through the program together; we support and challenge each other and help each other grow and develop."
Even though she already had 30 years of experience in the health and wellness field, Carrie knew that going back to graduate school would be a big step, but it's one that she's never regretted.

A awesome personal logo that effectively uses blue and red in combination! I like the symmetry of the badge design juxtaposed with the offset letters. The concept of your personal logo being like a badge is perfectly executed here!Posted in Branding → Logo
I really like the colour palette used here, particularly the use of colour in the header section of the site. The vibrant wave-like logo is striking and makes a strong statement. I also like the use of graphic illustrations throughout the site, they add some great colour and interest.Posted in Web Design → Design
A fascinating logo design for a fascinating project. I love the subtle colour palette and use of typeface to make an impact! I also particularly like the attempt at symmetry and nice graphical details!Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple but effective logo design that makes the two colour idea work hard! I love the combination of lime green and dark grey while the choice of lowercase for the text helps to make it recognisable. The use of gradient on the logo itself is really effective at making it shine and stand out!Posted in Branding → Logo
An excellent logo for a producer and DJ that makes good use of a solid black background. It could have worked well to use more outstanding colours, the palette is a little restrained. I do, however, like the typeface chosen and the white of the text really stands out on the black background (as always).Posted in Branding → Logo
An interesting winged logo design that makes brilliant use of texture! I love the contrast of natural ideas (like wings) with more mechanical ones (like cogs). The colour palette is subtle but works excellently, particularly over this kind of textured background.Posted in Branding → Logo
A gorgeous logo for any music based design company. I love the concept of the vinyl record breaking into streams of paint-like colour! In addition it\'s worth noting how good the flow of the logo is, it works beautifully read from left to right!Posted in Branding → Logo

It certainly lives up to the hype with its gorgeous interface designed specifically for the iPad. I love the logo and stylish grey colour scheme!Posted in Interface → iPad App
An awesome site for professional windsurfer Sean O'Brien. I love the graphic design ideas and how it all fits in a single window with no scrolling! The simple drop down navigation bar is a nice touch, as is the detailing on the logo!Posted in →
An incredibly bright and vibrant design for a business card! The colour is striking and immediately grabs your attention. The eye logo works really well as the focal point and is made even more effective by using white on such a bright background colour.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
An interesting logo that's all about the typeface. I really like the amount of detail that's been put into the typeface, the hole through the apostrophe is particularly nice! The colour palette is intriguing but actually seems to work pretty well!Posted in →
An awesome example of a genuine looking logo stamp. The dark red colour works really well in contrast to the light background. The textured background really helps this logo design to pop!Posted in Branding → Logo
A great logo for a fitness company! The word revolution is perfectly played out in the shape of the logo. I particularly like the red colour that\'s been used here, although I do feel the central design should have been properly symmetrical.Posted in Branding → Logo
FontStruct is a Web App designed to help you build, share, and download fonts. First off I\'m really keen on the logo, it\'s got a great retro feel to it! The toolset is simple and quick to pick up, a good sign of solid interface design.Posted in Interface → Web App
Here we have a wonderfully cartoony logo for a chilled out cafe or bistro. I love the bold childlike lettering and speech bubble idea! The colours are what make this logo a really appealing proposition, they make an immediate statement about the atmosphere of the establishment.Posted in Branding → Logo
Mint is a great Web App that helps you to take a fresh look at your site and analyse its performance. I love the green colour scheme in place here and excellent use of windows to compartmentalise different bits of analysis.

A striking logo that\'s derived from the starting letters of the company name. I like the use of \'L\' and \'P\' for the logo and find the use of perspective helps to make it memorable. The textured background is also a nice touch!Posted in Branding → Logo
An immediately striking site that aims to capture the delightful bliss of working with this particular digital agency! The huge background photograph works brilliantly and perfectly suits the company name and philosophy. I also particularly like the simplicity of the logo!Posted in Web Design → Design
A wonderfully rough looking idea for a business card! I love the concept that for a cargo company the business card could fold into a cargo box, ready to ship a teaspoon of coffee around the world! The simple use of logos gives the card a powerful sense of authenticity!Posted in Branding → Logo

Would I Ever Follow the Christian God Again?
I would ask that you not think that if all of freethinking skepticism was in error and that the Bible was shown to be inerrant and inspired that I would become a Christian. I find the Christian faith to be almost deathly repugnant these days and I would rather take my own life than let the Christian deity have it.
In response, albert wrote:
"In other words he would reject, rebel against,ignore etc 'reality'."
Let's say that you are a Christian and this strange guy comes into your town and tells you that God wants you to go and kill your atheistic neighbor, his wife, 9-year-old son, 3-year-old daughter, bunny rabbit, cat, and 3 dogs.
Would you obey that command of God that you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt to be true?
Personally, I would tell God to go fuck himself and damn me to hell. I would not do something so blatantly evil just because a god told me to (just like I wouldn't go kill a bunch of Iraqis just because a president told me to).
I think this is what Matthew is saying (and if he isn't, then I am saying it). I (we?) find Christianity so morally reprehensible (e.g. it degrades women, robs homosexuals of the joy of their lover, celebrates murder for offenses, etc.), that I would not follow it even if I knew it was the case.
But don't read this to mean that I refuse to be convinced of the "truth" of Christianity. If it can be proven that Christianity is true, I'll shout it from the roof tops.
My sermon title, however, would be, "There is a Real Son of a Bitch in Charge of This Universe; Run for Your Lives!"
And, yes, this sounds Romans 1-ish, but why? Is it because Paul really knew the heart of unbelievers or is it because my reaction is how most people would react (and did react) to such an evil idea of God, and Paul only "predicted" how people should act when confronted by this Christian god? I think Paul probably heard moral people everywhere reject this vile picture of a god, and then wrote his little letter so that it sounded like their rejection was simply the mark of an unregenerate person, not the only morally good decision a person could make when faced with that kind of god. Chicken or egg? "Prediction" or right reaction?
So, to answer my question above, "No, I would not worship the Christian God I believe is presented in the Bible even if I knew he truly existed." I could believe he existed, but I would not follow him. Or, if I were shown that my interpretation of the Christian God is wrong and that he is actually a good being AND that he actually existed AND that there is a good reason that the world is in the messed up state that it is in, then I would have no problem worshipping that God. I would re-join the ministry!
As it stands, however, I find the Christian God morally reprehensible and the state of the world such that it does not appear to be in the hands of any powerful, wise god. I would gladly accept any evidence to the contrary.

|High Country Housing Continues Recovery
|Written by Rob Robertson
|Wednesday, 31 October 2012 15:37
There were 126 realtor-assisted sales in September, according to the High Country Multiple Listing Service (MLS). That's the second highest sales mark for the year, behind the 141 sold in October. Going back even further, it was the fifth busiest month in local sales since January 2008.
Combined August-September sales (267) were the best two-month period since August-September 2009 (272). Laurie Phillips, executive officer of High Country Association of Realtors, called it "more positive news for our local real estate market." September has traditionally been one of the best sales months in the High County with an average of 118 listings have sold during September since 2008—the most of any month. Last year there were 122 realtor-assisted sales in September, then a two-year high. That mark has been matched or surpassed the last three months. For the year so far, 935 listings have been sold, averaging 104 a month. Prior to 2012, there had been only seven months of plus-100 sales since November 2009. For another contrast, there were 1,015 sales in all of 2011, 938 in 2010, and 1,033 in 2009. All three of those numbers could be surpassed next month. Total sales in September were worth $29.85 million, the first time in three months sales didn't break $30 million. Buyers' market conditions continue, with the median sold price $236,936. That's reflected with almost as many buyers paying in cash (53) than with a conventional loan (60) last month. There were 227 new listings added in September, the fewest new additions since just 188 were added in January. While the High Country led the national trend in increased sales, it has yet to ride the wave of overall rising prices. That should be changing, according to some analysts. The Commerce Department reported recently U.S. home sales are at a two-year high. Record-low borrowing, higher demand for homebuilders and a drop in the supply of foreclosed homes is easing downward pressure on prices.

Film Scores: A Tradition Carried on by Few
Live film accompaniment is a rare thing these days. Before the onset of sound on film almost every film was accompanied by a piano player, an organist, or even a small orchestra or jazz band. Today, we often forget this lost art and take film scores for granted. The scores for silent films were sometimes written and improvised by the accompanist. Accompanists were recognizable and part of the film-going experience and seeing your favorite accompanist perform for a new film and was billed as an added attraction. The tradition is carried on by few. Accompanists such as Philip Carli—who performs every Tuesday night for our Silent Tuesdays series—exist, but it requires a breadth of technique, a wide repertory and an understanding of not only music and improvisation but the rhythms and structure of silent films.
This week, we're excited to welcome back the Alloy Orchestra who will provide their distinctive sound live to our screening of Buster Keaton's The General. Their music creates a unique experience that will expand your understanding of what film accompaniment is capable of. They have been performing along side silent films for 22 year and are continuously finding ways to breathe new life into the century-old films they are accompanying – often utilizing the sounds from objects we wouldn't normally consider to be instruments. We're honored to once again have them joining us at the Dryden Theatre.
Although it bombed when it was originally released in 1926, Buster Keaton's The General is now widely considered a crowning achievement of not only Buster Keaton's career but of silent comedy. Standing on its own, it represents everything that a silent comedy can be: Keaton makes us laugh, cry, and even wince with his antics. Come see the deadpan comic's film in all its 35mm glory.

CUMBERLAND — Cumberland's inability to get the big hit on Tuesday afternoon cost the Clippers an opportunity to pick up a big win.
The Clippers stranded 10 runners on base – five of them in scoring position – and saw La Salle use a three-run uprising in the top of the third inning and some strong pitching from Caleb Gardner to produce a 4-1 victory at Tucker Field.
The Rams, who are 10-1 in Division I-North play (and in second place behind unbeaten Bishop Hendricken) and have now won eight in a row, didn't need a big hit to take their 3-0 lead off Cumberland starter Rob Reedy.
After a walk to No. 9 batter Connor Weathers, a ground single up the middle from Noah Gemma, and a fielder's choice grounder by Reece Martilli loaded the bases with no outs, Reedy uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Weathers to score.
North Smithfield native C.J. Dandeneau then smacked a grounder to first baseman Dylan Boisclair, who fielded it and fired the ball to the plate, but his throw pulled catcher Matt Bare off the plate and Gemma was able to slide home safely. Three pitches later, Chris Ballirano capped the rally by driving in Martilli with a sacrifice fly to left.
That support was more than enough for Gardner, who worked the first 6 2/3 innings, but got into some late trouble in the seventh and needed Andrew Mulvey to record the final out. Gardner scattered seven hits, walked three, and hit two batters with pitches, but also struck out four and recorded 12 groundball outs.
The Clippers produced their run in that final inning on a run-scoring double by Boisclair, but before that, they had their share of chances to break on the board.
In the third, they put runners on first and second with one gone, only to watch a nicely-turned 4-6-3 double play by the Rams end that inning, and in the sixth, they left runners stranded on the corners.
Dandeneau, the Rams' centerfielder, also made a nice play to end the fourth by throwing out Pete Travers trying to go from first and third on a sharp single by Josh Brodeur lined into the gap in left-center field.
The Rams made it a 4-0 contest in the sixth on a two-out line single to left by Weathers that drove in pinch-runner Broderick Santilli, who replaced catcher Alex Howard on the basepaths (after he blooped a one-out single to left) and promptly stole second base.
In the home half of the seventh, Gardner quickly recorded the first two outs, but then he hit Tyler Calabro with a pitch and surrendered Boisclair's opposite-field double that one-hopped the fence in left and finally put the Clippers on the board.
Gardner's day was done a batter later after he walked Joe Fine to send the tying run to the plate, but La Salle head coach Geoff Marcone brought in Mulvey to smother the fire, and he did so by striking out Bare to finish the game.
Reedy ended up going 5 2/3 innings in his outing, allowing six of the Rams' seven hits in the game, and reliever John Sikie retired four of the five batters he faced.
The Clippers also turned in a pair of nice defensive plays to end innings. In the fifth, with runners on second and third and one gone, Ballirano lofted a fly ball to right fielder Jake Keefe. Martilli, the runner on third, tried to tag up and score on the out, but Keefe fired a one-hop strike to the plate to nab him.
And with two outs in the sixth, a run home, and runners on first and second, Martilli hit a sinking liner to center that centerfielder Nick Provost gloved with a diving catch.
Weathers, who reached base in all three of his plate appearances, and Dandeneau, who ripped a double to left in the fifth, each collected two hits for La Salle, and Boisclair and Keefe also produced multiple hits for the Clippers.
The Clippers, who rolled into the game with wins in four of their last five games, fell to 5-6 in the league and 7-6 overall. They will face Hendricken at home on Friday at 4 p.m.

A Mercy (Vintage International)by Toni Morrison
"Mother love: always an absolute in Morrison's fiction, a terrible swift sword. Ancestors: a religion of owls and the African slave trade. The Middle Passage: commodities trading and shark bait. The world of work: caulking and tanneries, milking and manure, squash and chickens. Tables of food: wild plums, pecans, suet pudding, baskets of strawberries, haunches of venison, roast swan. Out-of-doors: 'trees taller than a cathedral,' 'birds bigger than cows,' 'a sky vulgar with stars,' 'boneless bears in the valley,' blood on the snow." John Leonard, Harper's Magazine (read the entire Harper's review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A powerful tragedy distilled into a jewel of a masterpiece by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved and, almost like a prelude to that story, set two centuries earlier.
In the 1680s the slave trade was still in its infancy. In the Americas, virulent religious and class divisions, prejudice and oppression were rife, providing the fertile soil in which slavery and race hatred were planted and took root.
Jacob is an Anglo-Dutch trader and adventurer, with a small holding in the harsh north. Despite his distaste for dealing in "flesh", he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a plantation owner in Catholic Maryland. This is Florens, with the hands of a slave and the feet of a Portuguese lady. Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, but later from a handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved.
There are other voices: Lina, whose tribe was decimated by smallpox; their mistress, Rebekka, herself a victim of religious intolerance back in England; Sorrow, a strange girl who's spent her early years at sea; and finally the devastating voice of Florens' mother. These are all men and women inventing themselves in the wilderness.
A Mercy reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and of a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.
Acts of mercy may have unforeseen consequences.
"Spellbinding....Dazzling....[A Mercy] stands alongside Beloved as a unique triumph. The Washington Post Book World
"Luminous and complex....Some of Morrison's best writing in years." Time
"Like Armstrong hitting the mountain stages, [Toni Morrison] is in the 'zone.'...There are an infinite number of stories in [A Mercy], with each new character's narrative throwing light onto unexpected sides of the people we thought we knew. When Morrison takes us into a world, we do not visit it; we inhabit it....One of her great skills is her uncanny ear; every voice is unique, simultaneously sounding like both past and present....Perhaps the greatest pleasure of the book lies in drawing one in so completely; there are no places where faulty construction hurls us back into reality." Elinor Teele, California Literary Review
"[A Mercy] examines slavery through the prism of power, not race. Morrison achieves this by setting A Mercy in 1680s America, when slavery was a color-blind, equal-opportunity state of misery, not yet the rigid, peculiar institution it would become....Morrison doesn't write traditional novels so much as create a hypnotic state of poetic intoxication. You don't read A Mercy, you fall into a miasma of language and symbolism. [It] offers an original vision of America in its primeval state, where freedom was a rare commodity." Deirdre Donahue, USA Today
"Toni Morrison,s great gift is to blend the exotic and supernatural with the homely and realistic. No character in a Morrison novel is too meager to glisten with the magical dust of myth, legend, fairy tale and folklore. A Mercy dives straight to the core of the American myth....Morrison has written a lean, poetic book that is compacted with secrets and desires. Like the story itself, her language is alternately spare and lush, often hopeful." Catherine Holmes, The Charleston Post and Courier
"Three stars. Shimmering, even beautiful....A slim, somber fever dream of a novel, Morrison's [A Mercy] belies the tenderness of its title. Set in the 1680s, her tale unfolds in the harsh northern climes of an emergent America. Here, on Anglo-Dutch trader Jacob Vaark's isolated homestead, Vaark's mail-order wife and three female slaves struggle against great hardships while forming shifting alliances that serve as the novel's sole flickers of redemption....A Mercy abounds in near-biblical power and grace." Adriana Leshko, People
"Memorable...lyrical....A miraculous tale of sorrow and beauty....It is 1682 in Maryland. The slave and rum trades are dying in droves from European diseases, and most women live 'of and for men.'...But this place and time is also full of miracles and mercies....American history, the natural world, and human desire collide in a series of musical voices, distinct from one another — unmistakably Morrisonian in their beauty and power — that together tell this moving and morally complicated tale." Pam Houston, O, The Oprah Magazine
"A Mercy is a sinewy novel [that] contains passages of insight and sensuality....It gathers its own power: Morrison plays a tight game with the social, legal and personal connections between her chess set of characters, a game in which each word — and every detail — counts....Morrison renders the ugly beautiful and the unimaginable real: she is a fine teacher." Heather Thompson, The Times Literary Supplement
"[A Mercy] returns to the subject of slavery, [which Morrison] has already mined with exquisite power....[Here] she probes the machine of slavery itself — the routine acts of closing deals and settling debts by buying or selling human beings....Morrison narrates the ways in which race, gender and class continue to color our reading of slavery. She peers beneath the surface of the machine to reveal its murky underpinnings in religious disputes. She reminds us that although grace is unmerited favor and that a mercy is an unmitigated blessing, it is no easy feat to understand or even read about the consequences of either." Marilyn Sanders Mobley, Ms.
"Toni Morrison gives a different narrator to each chapter of [A Mercy], and the effect is of a circling collage that cumulatively forms a picture of pre-Revolutionary America. It's a daring, well-wrought concept....A Mercy does not contain a lot of pages, but they are dense with meaning and the pain of a group of disparate lives robbed of any kind of momentum, perhaps because Morrison's real subject is the birth of a new land, already corrupt in its cradle." Scott Eyman, Palm Beach Post
"In this brutal, well-crafted story, Morrison offers a nuanced explanation of a mercy that forgives those who enslave us, both literally and emotionally." Christina Saratsis, Marie Claire
"More tone poem than unabashed fiction, [A Mercy is] a series of emotional episodes revealing an ugly portrait of this country's earliest days....Through it all is the very human ability to survive, to endure unimaginable pain....Morrison's prose makes it impossible to wallow in the story's obvious misery....Her world [is] a savage realm that retains some beauty thanks to the author's staggering gifts." Christian Toto, The Denver Post
"Reaching back to 1682 on the Atlantic coast of America, Morrison describes a dangerous Eden, a simmering, pungent stew of Angolan slaves, transplanted London guttersnipes, Portuguese plantation owners, Dutch traders and the pox-ridden remnants of original peoples....Morrison's lush prose has always had a mesmeric quality....The music and mystery of [her] language is still abundant." Janice P. Nimura, Newsday
"Smooth and alluring....There is hardship, injustice and misery [in A Mercy]. But there is also hope and beauty — and mercy, in the face of wrenching choices. And there is the poetic vibrance of Morrison's writing, especially in the voice of the semi-literate Florens....She lasts, as do the other characters in A Mercy — they are a window into our past, and also into our present." Lisa McLendon, The Wichita Eagle
"As evocative and haunting as Beloved...Morrison recently told National Public Radio that she sought in this novel to 'remove race from slavery.'...By reminding us that many white Americans also can trace their ancestry back to people who were enslaved, Morrison has deepened our understanding of human history and the complex legacy of slavery in America." Emily Seelbinder, The Charlotte Observer
"I loved it. A Mercy is tender, brutal, quiet and urgent, with a cast of characters that will make you forget you're reading a novel....If you're looking for a short novel that will, at the end, make you want to turn around and experience it again, get A Mercy and sacrifice some time. You won't be sorry." Terri Schlichenmeyer, The Philadelphia Tribune
"The fact that readers will be astonished by what they discover [in 17th-century Virginia] is a testament to how different that world was from our own, and also to the author's uncanny gift for inhabiting the nuances of place, character and situation....Morrison weaves a rich tangle of human stories and interactions....[She has created] a world filled with wonder that we have to piece together for ourselves, out of the characters' wildly divergent partial impressions and imperfect understandings. By requiring this act of imagination from her readers, Morrison enriches the experience and brings it closer in, sometimes so close it seems to jump off the page." Peter Magnani, San Jose Mercury News
"An intimate, insightful, and surprisingly relevant look at the ties that bind us in relationships." Good Housekeeping
"Morrison's storytelling genius is fully blooming in A Mercy, told from the viewpoints of a number of characters, the most significant being Florens, a young black slave....Morrison creates a magical voice for Florens that lifts readers up on a swirling arc of prose, which makes all [her] despair and heartbreak almost tolerable. Florens could be describing how Morrison captivates her readers when she says 'I can never not have you have me.'" Vick Mickunas, Dayton Daily News
"Morrison is as good as her many awards say....Her use of language...makes you feel the emotion of the characters, demanding understanding and sympathy, not letting you avoid it with the explanation 'it's only a story.' A Mercy is an outstanding addition to Morrison's list, probably destined for the next 'best work of American fiction poll' in 2020." Sacramento Book Review
Nobel Prize-winning author Morrison's latest New York Times-bestselling masterpiece centers on a powerful tragedy involving a mother and daughter, and reveals how acts of mercy have unforeseen consequences.
In the 1680s the slave trade in the Americas is still in its infancy. Jacob Vaark is an Anglo-Dutch trader and adventurer, with a small holding in the harsh North. Despite his distaste for dealing in "flesh," he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a plantation owner in Catholic Maryland. This is Florens, who can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Rejected by her mother, Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, and later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives.
A Mercy reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart, like Beloved, it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter-a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.
