Roster Rundown: #91 Sione Pouha
Position: Nose Tackle
Height / Weight: 6'3″ 325 lbs.
Age: 32 / Experience: 7
College: Utah
2011 Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent
2011 Analysis: When the Jets drafted Sione Pouha all the way back in 2005, he seemed an afterthought. Now, he's the last man standing from the class. In what amounts to his third year as a starter, he shone more finally released from the shadow of Kris Jenkins return. While not a stellar interior pass rusher, Pouha was a central part of the Jets ability to stop the run up front. While it gets little credit in Ryan's more glamorous blitzing system, Pouha's success basically sets up Ryan and Pettine to do what they like best … get opponents in long down and distance situations to force them to throw. Pouha's stat lines (58 tackles, 4 stuffs, 1 sack) are never impressive, but his ability to routinely take double teams allows for guys like Wilkerson and DeVito to make the tackles for loss.
2012 Outlook: I fully expect Pouha to sign a contract to return to the Jets. Ellis isn't yet ready to take over the every-down nose tackle work and Pouha has demonstrated his loyalty to the Jets so far through his career. He's been a great leader for the Jets, acting as the opposite number to Mark Sanchez's "Jets West" work on the defensive side of the ball. He is one of the team's biggest leaders on the defense and to lose him as well as Jim Leonhard in one year might be too hard a blow for this team to absorb.
Random Thought: The one thing that makes me question Pouha's return is he is a very smart business person away from football. At 32 he has to realize that this will be his best last chance at an NFL payday, so the Jets might not be the one who offers him the biggest contract. Will he leave money on the table to return to the Jets?

It's Williamsville's Main Street instead of the mall or maybe Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo instead of a big box store. It's a switch for holiday shoppers who turned out to support locally owned, independent stores on Small Business Saturday and that's a welcome contrast for some.
Dan Corcoran says "The atmosphere is more pressured, more harried, more almost desperate. Whereas this is just people browsing and look like they're having a good time. You know and maybe you buy and maybe you don't but it's beautiful to see all the things."
Anne Marie Sontag-Shea also felt "Much more relaxed. The atmosphere is a lot calmer. It's fun. It's enjoyable. And Black Friday was crazy and hectic and I was very anxious and aggravated at the end of the day."
And maybe it's the little things in smaller shops that can make a big difference...life really different gift ideas or some extra service. Katie Brancato of Cleveland says "Just more unique gifts for friends and family. Things that you're not gonna...no one else is gonna have the same things. Debby Steinbrucker of Village Artisans in Williamsville points out "Small businesses, especially small stores offer so much more service than big box stores do. We're here to wait on you, help you. Wrap your gifts...we do free gift wrapping. Just a lot of things that aren't in big stores anymore." And David Schueckler of the Tree House Store suggests "Instead of focusing on well one big deal, you get the variety and they can choose what's important for them."
Of course, money spent here may stay strictly local as opposed to a larger chain. And there's another strong selling point for year - round hometown support as sales associate Elizabeth Bartolone says: "Everybody is pushing the internet and big box stores. But people have to shop local, if you want these great boutiques and restaurants to stay in business, you've got to support 'em."

When Eight Bells Toll (1971)
6 comments:
- Stephen Gallagher said...
A favourite of mine -- a thriller that reshapes and heightens reality while keeping its texture. It's from that phase of Maclean's career where the novelist and screenwriting halves of his creativity meshed; before the slide into all those late-career novels that read like failed screenplays.
"I don't like it. Too many ifs and buts."
"With all due respect, sir, you haven't heard an if or a but yet."
But you need to hear Hopkins say it, to feel the crackle.

Thanks for saying that, Stephen; you make me feel distinctly less crazy for liking this as much as I did considering its low critical reputation. Whilst it has distinct problems, I appreciated its strengths - that reshaping and heightening as you describe it - to an extent that made not really care. Yes, that dry dialogue comes to life spilling from Hopkins' lips. I've remained a dogged fan of MacLean's early work and some of the films based on it, and a couple of his early novels including Night Without End and especially HMS Ulysses, really deserved good films that sadly never came about.
- 18 November 2011 at 02:54
Thanks for the tip. I went through a MacLean phase many years ago, my dad had his books laying all over the house and I read bunches of them, had no idea this was a movie, I'll try to track it down on netflix. Besides the two best known of his movies from books, I also recall seeing The Satan Bug many years ago, but have no memory of how good, or not, it was.
(another somewhat similar writer was Helen MacInnes, remember her? She was pretty good.)
- 22 November 2011 at 03:12
- Roderick Heath said...
Patrick: I do remember Helen MacInnes, never read any of her work, though. Can't help but wonder though if you're thinking of Hammond Innes, another Scots writer who was even more like MacLean. I used to read a lot of both of their books back when I was fonder of climactic extremes and macho derring-do. Haven't seen The Satan Bug, but the book was hugely enjoyable as I recall.
- 22 November 2011 at 13:25
No, it was definitely Helen. The Salzburg Connection is a title I recall reading. My brain is sieve though, things seem to leak out of it after a few years, I remember more of a general impression of her books as fairly well written and suspenseful, but no specific details.

The community-based Genetics of Taste Lab at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science is now home to a new and groundbreaking population study. Findings from the study will contribute new insights into the possibility that there are more than just the five known tastes of sweet, sour, salty, umami (savory), and bitter. The focus for this study will be to learn more about people's ability to taste fatty acids.
Community Participation: Research & Educational GoalsThe Genetics of Taste Lab is a unique venue for both research study participation and citizen science, connecting the community to real scientific research.
Assuming people can detect the taste of fatty acids, how does it happen?Research suggests that humans can detect the taste of fatty acids, but how this occurs is not known. To look into this question, the Genetics of Taste Lab is conducting a new research study for public participation. Using an omega-6 essential fatty acid (linoleic acid), the Lab is examining both genetic and environmental factors that might contribute to the ability to taste this important nutrient.
You Can Experience Scientific Research FirsthandOur goal is to enroll 3,000 people over the course of the two-year study. Over the forty-five minute experience, participants will rate and describe a series of dissolvable taste strips, answer questions about themselves related to taste, and list how everyone is related (genetically or not) in their group. Each participant will leave with a fun packet with games and at home experiments, a fun photo and their very own set of nose clips to take home. We highly encourage friends and family groups and twins (both identical and fraternal) to participate.
This two-year study is led by Nicole Garneau PhD (email@example.com) and Richard Mattes PhD (firstname.lastname@example.com), and made possible by a partnership between the Health Science and Visitor Programs Departments at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the Nutrition Science Department at Purdue University.
The Denver Museum Teen Science Scholars program is open to students from Colorado high schools who demonstrate through essay and interview their determination to be successful and committed to science. The scholars experience hands-on opportunities to work with the Museum's curators and participate in the scientific process. They also receive encouragement to seek careers in the sciences. The program particularly seeks students whose access to resources may be limited or nonexistent.
The students may select from one of three disciplines: paleontology, zoology, or health sciences. Dr. Nicole Garneau is the mentor for the health sciences students. The scholars work with Dr. Garneau on the Genetics of Taste: A Flavor for Health research project in Lab Central in Expedition Health. The students extract and process DNA for gene sequencing and ancestry analysis.
"I've always loved math and science, but I wasn't sure what I could do with it," said Kaitlin Ching, a 2010 Teen Science Scholar. "This program gives me the opportunity to look at the big issues in the world of science, so I know what to concentrate on when I go to college next year."

As for the shade selection, others will be able to help you better if you could describe your skin color and undertone. Shades #02, #04, #06, and #09 are good for those with yellow undertone. I use this foundation in #04 regularly during the summer when I am tanned to NC30 (MAC equivalence to medium skin color with yellow undertone). During the winter, I am NC25 (light-medium with yellow undertone) and I found #02 too light for me. Therefore I have to use another brand's powder foundation. May 10, 2012

5 New Haircuts to Try This Summer
Though we do not want summer to end (how did it go by so fast?), part of us is looking forward to all those little things that come with fall: the crispness in the air, layering sweaters and wearing leather jackets again, and swapping out our bright summer clothes and makeup for a moodier color palette. One of the best ways to accent this new fall look, is with a fresh manicure. Here, are our the polishes our editors swear by for autumn.See our mascara, moisturizer, fragrance, body lotion, and best drugstore picks as well.More
"I never pick my nail color according to trends. Since last spring, I have been obsessed with varying shades of brown nail polishes so that my hands appear to be all one color. I've continued this into summer and will probably do so into fall until something changes my mind."-Danielle Prescod, fashion editor

With the overdue farm bill festering again in Congress, Republicans and Democrats have resumed clashing over whether the government should regulate the milk supply by penalizing farmers who produce too much.
Farmers will need to enroll in that supply management program if they wish to participate in a retooled margin insurance program, included in House and Senate versions of the bill approved this week by each chambers agriculture committee. The Senate version calls for roughly $23 billion in cuts to farm and nutrition programs over the next decade, while the House bill calls for cuts of about $40 billion.
The margin insurance program for dairy farmers was part of the farm bill that failed in 2012 amid election-year politics; though it passed in the Senate, it never made it to a full vote in the House. Resuming the debate this summer, lawmakers will seek to get a final bill approved by Sept. 30, when an extension of the 2008 farm bill expires.
The new margin insurance program is expected to be hotly contested in the House, even though it is included in versions of the farm bill passed by committee, according to U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh. The free, voluntary insurance program is designed to help dairy farmers combat low milk prices and high feed costs. It would reimburse farmers when the difference between their costs and milk prices surpasses a certain threshold.
The margin insurance program would replace the current Milk Income Loss Contract program, a safety net that reimburses farmers when milk prices fall below a federal target.
Mr. Owens said the margin insurance program could be put on the chopping block in the House because of opposition to its supply management program that farmers would have to participate in. By penalizing farmers when they produce too much milk, the program aims to control the national milk supply to keep prices high.
To avoid the potential harm of that program which some say could restrict farms from expanding an alternative option called the Dairy Freedom Act was recently introduced in the House that could garner broad support on the floor, Mr. Owens said. That policy would still provide a safety net to reimburse farmers when profit margins are low, but the government would not regulate the national milk supply as a means to stabilize milk prices; markets would be allowed to set milk prices on their own.
Mr. Owens, who supports the supply management program, said the government needs to regulate milk production to ensure there isnt an oversupply, which causes milk prices to fall.
If the government is going to provide permanent assistance to farmers to get margin insurance, we have to ensure there isnt an overproduction of milk that the government will have to pay for, Mr. Owens said. Because if theres an oversupply of milk, the (profit) margin shrinks and therefore the margin insurance kicks in.
Because the Dairy Freedom Act is supported by House Speaker John A. Boehner, Mr. Owens said, it has a strong chance of being approved on the floor. If that happens, he said, the fight over that policy would then be waged between the House and Senate before a final bill is sent to the president.
A clash among Republicans and Democrats over cuts to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program aka food stamps will be the second main source of debate on the farm bill this summer, Mr. Owens said. That food stamp divide was made obvious by the huge gap in spending cuts between the House bill, which puts forth a $20.5 billion cut over the next decade, and the Senate bill, which would cut about $4.1 billion.
Mr. Owens said the cuts in the House bill are dramatically higher than what was pegged last year, when he was a member of the House Agriculture Committee.
Its over $20 billion in cuts, and you have the Senate at $4 billion. Clearly theres a great distance there, Mr. Owens said. He said the figure being mulled in the House last year was much lower. Everyone believed food stamps were going to be in the six- to eight-billion range after negotiations, he said.
Because of partisan differences, negotiating a final bill between the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-led Senate could be difficult, Mr. Owens said. He contends the proposed $20.5 billion cut in food stamp benefits would affect the quality of life of senior citizens, veterans and children by pushing millions off the rolls.
People always assume the picture of recipients of food stamps, but those stereotypes theyre given arent accurate, he said.
Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, was one of five senators who voted against the bill in committee Tuesday. In her view, the $4.1 billion cut in food stamps is unwarranted.
Losing $90 a month in food assistance may not sound like a lot to some people, she said in a statement. But if youre a parent whos trying to protect your children and feed them good, wholesome, nutritious food, or a senior on a fixed income, it means everything in the world. I am deeply concerned with the drastic cuts this bill makes to SNAP that will literally take food away from hungry children.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY - He's long lead the charge to tear down the Buffalo skyway...and now Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY 27th) vows to use his Congressional muscle to get rid of the Robert Moses Parkway in Niagara Falls.
Both the northern section of the Parkway along the Niagara Gorge, and its southern section above the famous Falls has been viewed by some for decades as a "concrete moat" separating the Cataract City from its waterfront, thereby impeding economic development in an area.
"When you look at economic development as we've experienced on the Buffalo waterfront, the fundamentals are very clear," said Higgins, who began representing Niagara Falls two weeks ago.
"You have to remove the remove the barriers to access."
The Parkway's removal has been studied for years, and within weeks, the New York State is due to release design plans for what might exist there instead of an expressway.
However, there's always the question of money.
"The big challenge to whatever option is selected is going to be to finance a project of considerable magnitude," said Higgins.
An estimated $120 million is needed, and Higgins believes that since the New York Power Authority (NYPA) owns all the land the parkway sits on, it should pay the tab.
"They're the ones who back in the 1950's and 60's took this land, and evicted all the property owners. They paid for the construction of this and they should pay for the demolition of it as well," Higgins said.
Higgins sent his proposal (which you can read here) to NYPA Chairman John Koelmel, who is also President of First Niagara Bank and like Higgins a Western New Yorker, but he's yet to hear back from him.
Two On Your Side attempted to contact Koelmel about Higgins' proposal, but a First Niagara spokesperson referred us instead to the power authority.
NYPA spokesman Michael Saltzman, reached by phone, declined an interview request, instead emailing a brief statement which read:
"We just received Congressman Higgins' letter on the Robert Moses Parkway and will review it. We will respond in a timely manner and continue to have an open dialogue with the Congressman as we've done so in the past."
Higgins insists money should be no problem for NYPA.
"The New York power Authority, at the end of 2008 alone, had a surplus of $309 million of which which, 76% came from the Niagara Power Project," said Higgins, while claiming the Niagara Power Project is the only one of NYPA's generating operations which makes a substantial amount of money, and therefore supports its other operations throughout the state.
He also insisted the Niagara Power Project, which harnesses the waters of the Niagara River to generate hydroelectric energy, should not be viewed as a "statewide" asset.
"It is the unique, natural resources of Western New York which make that power project possible...we have a rightful claim to that money," Higgins said.
Indeed, when NYPA needed federal approval to relicense the Niagara Power Project a few years ago, Higgins' support hinged on NYPA's contribution of millions of dollars for Buffalo's waterfront.
He also noted that another NYPA hydroelectric plant, the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project in Schoharie County, is also up for renewal soon.
"They have to request a new license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. That's the leverage that I used as a member of the United States Congress to help secure the (prior) $279 million settlement for Buffalo and Western New York. I am prepared to use that leverage again."

COLTON Residents of Colton and outlying areas say they are fed up with limited Internet access.
Good service, where there is any at all, is hard to come by in this area, according to community members who have formed a committee to address the technological dilemma.
The towns High-Speed Internet Committee is sending a letter to Roseanne Murphy, north country regional director of the Empire State Development Corp., in support of Slic Network Solutions application for economic development grant funding to provide high-speed broadband Internet service to the area.
Broadband today is seen as an essential service much as electricity and phone were seen 80 years ago, the letter says, adding that the service is critical to the viability and sustainability of the area.
Ensuring that the area has broadband improves the overall quality of life in the area, promoting population retention and removing the digital divide between the served and unserved, the letter said.
Committee Chairwoman Grace J. Hawley, who is also the deputy supervisor for the town of Colton, said the project aligns with the strategic goals of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to provide universal coverage of low-cost, high-speed broadband throughout the north country.
Mrs. Hawley said the project, which helps fill the gaps that exist in the broadband infrastructure, started with a request from Robyn L. Hosley, professor at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music, who has a home on Raquette River Road in South Colton.
Its what started the committee rolling because nobody up there has service and so weve been tracking to see just how many people are currently being unserved, and many are just underserved, Mrs. Hawley said. It turns out that less than 50 percent of the residents are being served. So there is definitely a need.
Efforts to reach Ms. Hosley were unsuccessful Friday.
Time Warner estimated the cost of installation for high-speed service wiring at $122,198 for 28 homes and two power sites within a 3.4 mile area, Mrs. Hawley said.
That is a definite problem at this point, but Im very impressed with the way the community has taken this on, she said.
The committee plans to meet June 4 with Outreach Director Angela R. Liotta of the state Broadband Program Office to learn about funding and what step the committee should take next.
The committee also has been working with Slic Network Solutions President Philip J. Wagschal. Mr. Wagschal said his company has been working with Colton for the past five months and has had success in receiving grants for unserved areas such as Schroon Lake.
They are very engaged folks looking to put together a successful package, Mr. Wagschal said. Its not only the folks on the committee that see the need, but they also are looking for overall economic development in the area.
Within the state there are grants for broadband expansion, not only through Connect New York but also under the state Regional Economic Development Councils Consolidated Funding Application, which is what the committee is seeking.
Application materials will be available by June 3, and submissions from the regional councils are due Sept. 24.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

After a ton of interviews skirting the issue, someone finally asked Kristen Stewart what we really want to know: Is she back together with Robert Pattinson?
Savannah Guthrie flat out asked K-Stew the million dollar question this morning on "Today" while she was on the show promoting their upcoming flick, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2."
But Kristen's answer wasn't exactly what we were hoping for.
"Funny you mention that," she said. "I'm going to just let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are…Keep 'em guessing, I always say."
So ... what do you think? Are they together now? Were they ever together ... or are they just friends?

Annual Giving
Investing in Northern Michigan University
Individuals, businesses, corporations, and foundations give to the university in a number of different ways. All of these methods help to provide program support to the university and work toward accomplishing the mission of making Northern Michigan University the school of choice for high-quality comprehensive public education with outstanding personal attention in a high-tech learning environment.
Annual Giving
Cash Gifts: Cash contributions are the most common method of payment for the variety of programs that the university supports. Annual giving dollars contribute to special programs that are not funded through other sources of revenue. Two examples of programs supported this year through NMU Foundation monies are the Student Leader Fellowship Program, and the Washington Center Program. Annual giving also helps provide scholarships and supports the academic departments, faculty development, institutional development; and other programs as designed by the NMU Foundation Executive Committee. Giving clubs are some of the many ways to contribute.
Gifts of Securities: Because of the many benefits afforded charitable gifts under the federal tax laws, you may wish to consider giving stock or other securities to honor a pledge or make an annual contribution to NMU. In many instances, these charitable gifts can help you achieve other estate planning goals as well. Frequently asked questions about annual giving.

POTSDAM - Community Performance Series is set to present a weekend of arts innovation, as two world-renowned ensembles join forces for a world premiere blending live musical performance and dance, followed by an exploration of Jimi Hendrixs music — by a string quartet.
Luna Negra Dance Theater will collaborate with the Turtle Island Quartet for a world-premiere performance at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music.
The Turtle Island Quartet will then perform their Have You Ever Been...? program celebrating the music of Jimi Hendrix, at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 2 in Cranes Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall. The pre-concert lecture for this event features a member of the quartet, and will begin at 6:30 p.m.
The Jan. 31 performance will feature a world-premiere piece by Spanish choreographer Fernando Hernando Magadan, with an encore performance on Feb. 1. Magadans newest work will be accompanied by live music by the Turtle Island Quartet. Additional dance pieces will include The Naked Ape, also choreographed by Magadan, and 18+1, which was choreographed by Luna Negra Artistic Director Gustavo Ram�rez Sansano.
Founded in 1999 by Cuban-born dancer and choreographer Eduardo Vilaro, the Luna Negra Dance Company celebrates the rich Latino culture and is well known for its exceptional choreography, intensive educational programs and electrifying performances. Based in Chicago, Luna Negra calls the Harris Theater in Millennium Park home and has become an integral part of Chicagos cultural community. The company has toured both across the U.S. and around the globe. According to the Boston Globe, the troupes nine members dance as if its the last night on Earth.
The Turtle Island Quartets Feb. 2 performance of Have You Ever Been...? will feature the ensembles arrangements of works by legendary guitarist, songwriter and performer Jimi Hendrix. The program will also feature compositions reflective of and inspired by Hendrixs music, including Turtle Island Quartet founder David Balakrishnans new composition, Tree of Life.
The two-time Grammy Award-winning Turtle Island Quartet is known to be one of the most influential driving forces behind bold new trends in chamber music for strings. Created in 1985, the group combines classical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles, while remaining true to both forms. Unparalleled cellist Yo-Yo Ma has proclaimed Turtle Island Quartet to be a unified voice that truly breaks new ground - authentic and passionate - a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today.
Tickets for the Luna Negra Dance Theater performances are $20 and $25 for adults, with discounts for seniors and students. Tickets for the Turtle Island Quartet performance are $18 to $30 for adults, with discounts for seniors and students.

Middlesexby Jeffrey Eugenides
Staff Pick
This engrossing Pulitzer Prize-winner is the utterly amazing story of a hermaphrodite. It is so emotionally accurate and insightful that it reads like a memoir. It's also laugh-out-loud funny. Beautifully written and remarkable in its scope and accomplishment, Middlesex is a breathtaking masterpiece!
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974. . . My birth certificate lists my name as Calliope Helen Stephanides. My most recent drivers license...records my first name simply as Cal.
So begins the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides and three generations of the Greek-American Stephanides family who travel from a tiny village overlooking Mount Olympus in Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit, witnessing its glory days as the Motor City, and the race riots of l967, before they move out to the tree-lined streets of suburban Grosse Pointe, Michigan. To understand why Calliope is not like other girls, she has to uncover a guilty family secret and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction. Lyrical and thrilling, Middlesex is an exhilarating reinvention of the American epic.
Middlesex is the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
"[A]n uproarious epic, at once funny and sad, about misplaced identities and family secrets....Mr. Eugenides has a keen sociological eye for 20th-century American life." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"It's a gas, a romp, the cat's pajamas....The convolutions of the novel's plot, its big gestures, its deftly handled threads of imagery and symbolism and its wealth of detail combine to produce a largely delightful read." Bethany Schneider, New York Newsday
"Middlesex isn't just a respectable sophomore effort; it's a towering achievement, and it can now be stated unequivocally that Eugenides' initial triumph wasn't a one-off or a fluke. He has emerged as the great American writer that many of us suspected him of being." Jeff Turrentine, The Los Angeles Times
"[I]t's off proportionally, both section-to-section and overall, its two halves at odds, each interesting at times but neither truly satisfying, despite Eugenides's prodigious talent. Like Cal, it's damned by its own abundance, not quite sure what it wants to be." Stewart O'Nan, Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic review)
"Middlesex vibrates with wit....A virtuosic combination of elegy, sociohistorical study, and picaresque adventure: altogether irrestistable." Kirkus Reviews
"Here's your heads-up....Yes, it's that good....A novel of chance, family, sex, surgery, and America, it contains multitudes." Jonathan Miles, Men's Journal
In his second novel, the author once again proves himself to be a wildly imaginative writer....Likely to hold readers in thrall with its affecting characterizations of a brave and lonely soul and its vivid depiction of exactly what it means to be both male and female." Booklist
"Eugenides proves that he is not only a unique voice in modern literature but also well versed in the nature of the human heart. Highly recommended." Library Journal
The Pulitzer Prize-winning story of Calliope Stephanides and three generations of the Greek-American family who travel from a tiny village. Calliope is not like other girls and must uncover a guilty family secret and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction.
In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry blond classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them — along with Callie's failure to develop physically — leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, she is not really a girl at all.
The explanation for this shocking state of affairs is a rare genetic mutation — and a guilty secret — that have followed Callie's grandparents from the crumbling Ottoman Empire to Prohibition-era Detroit and beyond, outlasting the glory days of the Motor City, the race riots of 1967, and the family's second migration, into the foreign country known as suburbia. Thanks to the gene, Callie is part girl, part boy. And even though the gene's epic travels have ended, her own odyssey has only begun.
Spanning eight decades — and one unusually awkward adolescence — Jeffrey Eugenides's long-awaited second novel is a grand, original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire.
About the Author
Jeffrey Eugenides was born in Detroit and attended Brown and Stanford Universities. His first novel, The Virgin Suicides, was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux to great acclaim in 1993, and he has received numerous awards for his work.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
It has often been said that the public schools are a reflection of American society.
For Steve Carlsen, the Superintendent of Carbon School District, that relationship of the two holds pretty true, and he sees that as a challenge that school personnel have to live up to.
"It seems the respect for education in this country is not as high as it once was," he said in an interview on Friday morning. "With that being said, however, it beckons our school system to do a better job when communicating with students and parents."
A school superintendent's job is a tough one. First of all, there is the management of vast financial resources and also being sure that the people working in the district put out a good product. That product is a relevant education for students.
"Students and their parents are our customers," he said.
Carlsen, who has been involved in education as a teacher, administrator and superintendent at two different school districts, sees the involvement of the community as a key to a good educational program. That kind of involvement has traditionally been done entirely through the board of education, which is an elected board. However, in the recent past the Utah State Legislature has put into effect a law which requires boards to have School Community Councils. Individual school boundary councils are elected from those within school boundaries "whose primary focus is to develop, approve, and assist in implementing school improvement plans, and advise school/school district administrators" (as stated in the statute).
These councils are also tasked with providing "a framework and support for improved academic achievement of students that is locally driven from within individual schools, through critical review of testing results and other indicators of student success, by establishing meaningful, measurable goals and implementing research-based programs and processes to reach the goals." (Rule R277-491 of the Utah State Code).
But beyond those councils there are also those that help in schools on a daily basis.
"We have some incredible involvement from volunteers in the communities in our schools,"
said Carlsen. "It is amazing."
Laws and regulations have also had their impact on how schools have changed in the last generation or two. Probably the largest changed in that respect came from the No Child Left Behind legislation that was passed a decade ago. At first there were a lot of educators that didn't like the idea. Over the years many, however, have warmed up to it.
"I think it really was a good thing," said Carlsen. "I believe it has led us to be more award of where every student is. It has made us become a more data involved profession."
And in this day and age of information, data is all important.
But still some of the aspects of the original program were troubling. Like requiring all districts to have every student reading at a third grade level, regardless of any other circumstances. That was supposed to have been in place within the next two years, but as the Department of Education reviewed the plan, they made changes and came up with what is called the Flexibility Act.
"They found that expecting every third grader to read at their level was too strong," said Carlsen.
Consequently, a number of factors are now taken into account when analyzing school performance.
"What was needed was a program that took into account not only performance but also the growth a student shows," said Carlsen. "That is what the Utah Comprehensive Accountability System does."
The point is to take a baseline on a student and then look not only how he or she performs after taking a course of study, but how much he or she learns in that time.
"I think teachers feel much better about that now," he said.
Carlsen also sees mentoring in the schools and learning from one another as an important part of teaching. At one time, teachers had very little time to talk to one another about problems and ways to cure them. But that has changed.
"It's the idea of a professional learning community," said Carlsen. "We now have enough aides working in the schools that teachers can take a couple of hours a week to get together with others about issues and problems, as well as solutions to problems. This is a process of sharing and using best practices."
That time is separate from the traditional planning time teachers have had for years.
"This works well with the process of self evaluation and peer evaluation," he says. "And it also ties in with the Utah Core."
The Utah Core (known as Common Core in other places in the country) has led to some big gains in materials, processes and procedures in education. Carlsen says that before that the state was often on its own when trying to attempt to make changes. Now there are 41 other states doing basically the same thing.
Carlsen said that it won't be long before the state will be moving away from CRT (Criterion Referenced Tests) to what is called Adaptive Testing. CRT tests allows an evaluation of the students knowledge in terms of passing or failing to know something, but Adaptive Testing will allow educators to know exactly where a student stands in terms of where they are with actual learning. While all state testing is already on computers, these tests, also done on computers will provide information by asking a question and then if the student doesn't know the answer, it will move the question to a different level to see if the student knows that answer. It will drill down until it reveals what the student actually does know.
"These kinds of tests will help us to understand a students growth and what we need to do to get them where they should be," said Carlsen. "Right now we have a test in April as a snapshot of where a student is, then we have to consider learning loss from over the summer break and then we test them the next April to see where they are."
With the Adaptive Testing educators will be able to evaluate students three times a year and get the exact level of knowledge about any specific subject.
The near future will bring many more changes, but probably the biggest one on the horizon for now is because of a bill introduced into the Utah State Legislature last session. The bill, introduced and sponsored by State Senator Aaron Osmond is called the Human Resource Education and Management Act (Senate Bill 64).
"With that bill we are in the middle of a big swing in education," said Carlsen. "That bill will take effect during the 2014-15 school year."
The law requires all education employees be evaluated annually and that a probationary or provisional educator be evaluated twice a year. Carlsen said that the SB64 will impact everyone who works at a school district because the evaluation will look at everyone employed. For teachers it specifies that educator evaluations be based on students learning growth (or achievement) and instructional quality. With that locally developed evaluations must also be tied to a district's compensation system. This basically means that any raises an educator would get would be tied to the evaluation.
"A lot of the evaluation will come down to student scores, but there will be other aspects as well," said Carlsen. "Input on the evaluation will come not only from principals, but also from stakeholders (students and parents). Next year we will be in the practice phase on these new regulations."
The legislature's intent with this bill is to produce a system of merit pay for good teachers, tie salary to satisfactory performance and it expedites and clarifies the process of dismissal of employees who don't meet the requirements. It will also provide for greater accountability of administrators.

LINCOLN ŌĆö The Division I playoffs donŌĆÖt begin for another eight days, but Wednesday nightŌĆÖs marquee clash between longtime rivals Lincoln and Cumberland sure had the feel of the postseason in the air.
And like the two teamsŌĆÖ showdowns of years past, pitching and defense played key roles in their regular-season meeting before a big gathering at Saylesville Elementary SchoolŌĆÖs Sullivan Field.
Both teams provided plenty of solid pitching behind their aces, LincolnŌĆÖs Lindsay Mayer and CumberlandŌĆÖs Juliet Nelson. But when it came down to defense, it was three miscues by the Clippers that helped paved the way for four unearned runs and a 5-1 victory for the undefeated Lions.
The triumph raised the defending champion LionsŌĆÖ record to 15-0 and extended their win streak dating back to last yearŌĆÖs season opener to 37 games. It also put them one victory away from their second straight perfect regular season, which they will try to nail down on Friday at 4 p.m. back at Saylesville against third-place Coventry (11-3).
ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt know what we were going to get tonight,ŌĆØ confessed Lincoln coach Dick Ryan. ŌĆ£I know (Cumberland) has a really good ballclub, and I knew it was going to be a tough game. But it seems like every time we have a tough game, we play well. We had a good game last week against North Kingstown, and we played well again tonight.ŌĆØ
Mayer and Emily Bouthillette, LincolnŌĆÖs two seniors who were honored during ŌĆśSenior NightŌĆÖ festivities before the game, and sophomore Adriana Toro each collected multiple hits and a run batted in, and it was BouthilletteŌĆÖs ringing two-out RBI single to right in the bottom of the third inning that broke a 1-1 tie.
Mayer, meanwhile, ended up with a six-hitter for the Lions to pick up her 12th victory of the season. Not only did she strike out 10 batters and walk three, but she also received a nice helping hand from her defense, which played errorless ball.
ŌĆ£Lindsay pitched a good game and we played well defensively,ŌĆØ said Ryan. ŌĆ£As long as we play well defensively and get some timely hits along the way, I think weŌĆÖll be fine.ŌĆØ
Nelson, meanwhile, didnŌĆÖt have numbers as good as MayerŌĆÖs, but she still did a fine job, as she whiffed four batters and scattered nine hits and one walk. But the three infield miscues that were committed behind her came back to haunt her and help produce the unearned runs.
ŌĆ£You canŌĆÖt give runs,ŌĆØ said Cumberland coach Marty Crowley. ŌĆ£It doesnŌĆÖt matter what level youŌĆÖre at, and especially against a team like Lincoln. Obviously, if you give them runs, theyŌĆÖre going to make you pay, and they did.ŌĆØ
The Lions drew first blood in the second when Bouthillette led off with a sharp single to right and took second when Stacey Mayer hit what appeared to be a double-play grounder to the left side of the infield, but instead, resulted in an error.
The hosts then resorted to some ŌĆśsmallballŌĆÖ to bring in the first run. Alyssa Schermerhorn advanced both runners with a sacrifice bunt, and Lauren Hervieux brought in Bouthillette with a well-placed squeeze bunt.
The Clippers then responded in the third by collecting four of their hits. Bridget Connors legged out a one-out infield hit, and an out later, Nelson, Caylin Legare, and Tayla Noke came through with consecutive singles, with NokeŌĆÖs base hit, a soft liner over the head of first baseman McKenzie Cavanaugh, tying the score.
But just when it looked like the Clippers had the Lions on the ropes, Lions catcher Stacey Mayer ended the threat with a nice sliding catch on a foul pop near the backstop off the bat of Sydnee Shabomardenly.
Lincoln then took the lead on BouthilletteŌĆÖs run-scoring hit that knocked in Adriana Toro, and that was the only earned run the Lions scored off Nelson. Toro had reached base on a one-out bunt hit and went to third on a long single to right-center by Lindsay Mayer, who was eventually caught in a rundown between first and second and tagged out.
After BouthilletteŌĆÖs hit, Stacey Mayer joined the hit parade with a sharp single to center. The next batter, Schermerhorn, then hit a fly ball along the third-base line that appeared to be the third out, but three Clippers converged on the ball, and not only was it dropped, but it also rolled into the LionsŌĆÖ dugout, and that allowed Bouthillette to score.
The LionsŌĆÖ other two runs came in the fourth. An infield error on a routine grounder by Canavaugh and a bunt single by Meredith Walsh was soon followed by a sacrifice bunt from Casie Beauchemin, a run-scoring groundout by Toro, and a RBI single to center by Lindsay Mayer.
Speaking of Mayer, she finished the game strong, mowing down 10 of the final 11 batters she faced and striking out six of them, including the side in the final frame.
The Clippers, meanwhile, fell to 11-4 with their third defeat in their last five games. They now sit in fourth place and will face Cranston West (8-6) in their regular-season finale on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the Brayton Avenue complex in Cranston.
ŌĆ£This was just one game,ŌĆØ said Crowley. ŌĆ£As much as the Cumberland-Lincoln rivalry is there, and itŌĆÖs there, we have to move on to Saturday. All we can do now is worry about Cranston West and still try to play for a high seed.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Tip your hat off to them,ŌĆØ Ryan said of Cumberland. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs a good ballclub we played. And I think weŌĆÖll see Cumberland again in the playoffs, probably in the finals. I think weŌĆÖre the two best teams in the state. IŌĆÖve seen them play enough to know that they have that good a team.ŌĆØ
