In the wake of the whistle-blower Edward Snowden's revelations about the extent of surveillance conducted by the security services in the United States, Britain, and elsewhere, concerns about individual privacy have significantly increased.

Oxford University Press to publish Plate Tectonics: A Very Short Introduction, By Peter Molnar
The 1960s revealed a new and revolutionary idea in geological thought: that the continents drift with respect to one another.

We now know that the Earth's crust and upper mantle consist of a small number of rigid plates that move, and there are significant boundaries between pairs of plates, usually known as earthquake belts.

Oxford University Press to publish Ritual: A Very Short Introduction, by Barry Stephenson
Ritual is part of what it means to be human. Like sports, music, and drama, ritual defines and enriches culture, putting those who practice it in touch with sources of value and meaning larger than themselves.

Is ritual tradition bound and conservative or innovative and transformational?

Today, Japan is seen as a has-been with a sluggish economy, an aging population, dysfunctional politics, and a business landscape dominated by yesterday's champions.

Oxford University Press to publish Corporate Social Responsibility: A Very Short Introduction, by Jeremy Moon
What is CSR and why is it so important?
Corporate social responsibility has been defined as 'the responsibility of enterprises for their impacts on society'. Is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) just window dressing or is it a contradiction in terms? In this Very Short Introduction, Jeremy Moon shows that CSR holds much more value than it first appears, and shows how it has come of age in recent years. Illustrating the sorts of CSR investments companies make, the ways in which they practice CSR, and the challenges this brings, Moon considers how the principles migrated from their US roots to become a global business phenomenon.

Oxford University Press to publish Fire and Movement, by Peter Hart
Rewriting the story of the vital first months of the Great War
For the British the dramatic opening weeks of the Great War showed the British Army at its professional best: holding the line against impossible odds, and sacrificing itself to stop the last great German offensive of 1914. It is a great tale, and parts of it are even true. But, as Peter Hart reveals, the real story of the opening campaigns of the First World War is far different from the mythology that has come to surround it.

The dramatic story of the crucial two years in which Napoleon lost his empire
Napoleon: The End of Glory tells the story of the dramatic two years that led to Napoleon's abdication in April 1814. Though crucial to European history, they remain strangely neglected, lying between the two much better-known landmarks of the retreat from Moscow and the battle of Waterloo. Yet this short period saw both Napoleon's loss of his European empire, and of his control over France itself. In 1813 the massive battle of Leipzig - the bloodiest in modern history before the first day of the Somme - forced his armies back to the Rhine. The next year, after a brilliant campaign against overwhelming odds, Napoleon was forced to abdicate and exiled to Elba. He regained his throne the following year, for just a hundred days, in a doomed adventure whose defeat at Waterloo was predictable.
The ideal short introduction to the life of a nation considering yet another
turning point in its long history.
Jean Guéhenno's Diary of the Dark Years 1940-1945 is the book historians love to quote to describe both ordinary daily life and literary life in Paris under Nazi occupation. While it is a sharply observed record of day-to-day life in occupied Paris, this diary is far more than that: it is "a remarkable essay on courage and cowardice." (Caroline Moorehead, Wall Street Journal.) At the time, Guéhenno was a well-known political and cultural critic, left-wing but not Communist, and uncompromisingly anti-fascist. Unlike most French writers during the Occupation, he refused to pen a word for a publishing industry under Nazi control. He expressed his intellectual, moral and emotional resistance in this diary: his shame at the Vichy government's collaboration with Nazi Germany, his contempt for its falsely patriotic reactionary ideology, his outrage at its anti-Semitism and its vilification of the Republic it had abolished, his horror at its increasingly savage repression and his disgust with his fellow intellectuals who kept on blithely writing about art and culture as if the Occupation did not exist-not to mention those who praised their new masters in prose and poetry.
Alexander the Great, arguably the most exciting figure from antiquity, waged war as a Homeric hero, conquering native peoples and territories on a extraordinary scale. From the time he invaded Asia in 334 to his death in 323, he expanded the Macedonian empire from Greece in the west to Asia Minor, the Levant, Egypt, Central Asia, Pakistan and Kashmir in the east. Although many other kings and generals forged empires, Alexander produced one that was without parallel, even if it was short-lived.
Alexander the Great became king of Macedon in 336 BC, when he was only 20 years old, and died at the age of 32, twelve years later. During his reign he conquered the Achaemenid Persian Empire, the largest empire that had ever existed, leading his army from Greece to Pakistan, and from the Libyan desert to the steppes of Central Asia. His meteoric career, as leader of an alliance of Greek cities, Pharaoh of Egypt, and King of Persia, had a profound effect on the world he moved through and his story has been told and retold throughout Europe and the East.
A collection of private family letters from the First World War that lay forgotten for almost ninety years.
As the last Stuart monarch, Queen Anne (1665-1714) received the education thought proper for a princess, reading plays and poetry in English and French while learning dancing, singing, acting, drawing, and instrumental music. As an adult, she played the guitar and the harpsichord, danced regularly, and took a connoisseur's interest in all the arts.
In 1934, a Belgian entrepreneur named Paul Otlet sketched out plans for a worldwide network of computers – or "electric telescopes," as he called them – that would allow people anywhere in the world to search and browse through millions of books, newspapers, photographs, films and sound recordings, all linked together in what he termed a réseau mondial: a "worldwide web." Today, Otlet and his visionary proto-Internet have been all but forgotten, thanks to a series of historical misfortunes – not least of which involved the Nazis marching into Brussels and destroying most of his life's work. In the years since Otlet's death, however, the world has witnessed the emergence of a global network that has proved him right about the possibilities, and perils, of networked information.
In 1099, when the first crusaders arrived triumphant and bloody before the walls of Jerusalem, they carved out a Christian European presence in the Islamic world that remained for centuries, bolstered by subsequent waves of new crusades and pilgrimages. But how did medieval Muslims understand these events? What does an Islamic history of the Crusades look like? When seen from the perspective of medieval Muslims, the Crusades emerge as a dramatically different story from the Christian one we know from the European chronicles.

"During the centenary year an avalanche of books on the First World War's origins will descend upon the public. Gordon Martel's will stand out among them for its authoritative judgements and for its no-nonsense focus on the decisions that caused the conflict's outbreak."
– David Stevenson, author of 1914-1918: the History of the First World War
Can there be a definitive answer to the "Scottish Question"?
Over half a century ago, a leading commentator suggested that Scotland was very unusual in being a country which was, in some sense at least, a nation but in no sense a state.

Celebrating the centenary of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary
The first edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary was published in 1911. Edited by the brothers Henry and George Fowler from their cottage in Guernsey, and drawing on the work that had been done for the great historical account of English, the Oxford English Dictionary, the COD was not simply an abridgement: it was a completely different kind of dictionary, one that sought primarily to cover the language of its own time.
A century on, the Concise Oxford English Dictionary remains a bestseller. Look around your home or workplace and you'll probably see a copy of the Concise. For generations the Concise has been the standard family work of reference. We are publishing the latest, 12th edition of the dictionary on August 18th, 2011, alongside a limited-edition facsimile of the 1911 edition.

Cultural Strategy: Using innovative ideologies to build breakthrough brands
Cultural Strategy provides a step-by-step guide for managers and entrepreneurs to building businesses based upon innovative ideologies: ideas that leverage social change and needs. Holt and Cameron analyse a series of classic cases that relied on these bold, innovative strategies: Nike, Marlboro, Starbucks, Jack Daniels, vitaminwater, and Ben & Jerry's. They then demonstrate how the theory works as an actionable strategy model, drawing upon their consulting work. They show how cultural strategy takes start-up brands into the mass market, overcomes "better mousetraps" wars in a technology driven category, effectively challenges a seemingly insurmountable incumbent, and develops a social innovation.

The Humans Who Went Extinct: Why Neanderthals died out and we survived, by Clive Finlayson
Why did the Neanderthals go extinct?
Neanderthals – no less than another kind of human – died out in their last outposts 28,000 years ago. Thanks to cartoons and folk accounts, we have a distorted view of these other humans. We think of them as crude and clumsy, driven to extinction by the lithe, smart modern humans that came out of Africa 100,000 years ago.
But was it really as simple as that?

Bible: The Story of the King James Version 1611-20, by Gordon Campbell
In 1604 King James I convened a conference to discuss the grievances of Puritan members of the Church of England. On day two, the proposal was put forward 'that there might be a new translation of the Bible' on the grounds that previous translations 'were corrupt, and not answerable to the truth of the original'. The idea found favour with the King, and so began a colossal 7-year task for 50 of England's greatest scholars. Their work – a translation authorized 'to be read in churches' – has had an unmatched impact of the English-speaking world ever since.

Findings from the field of evolutionary psychology, and mate selection more specifically, would lead one to believe that what the opposite sex finds attractive should be most important in determining how one is affected by appearance-related comparison information. While attractiveness has become more important to both males and females, it seems that today women and men should be especially sensitive to what the opposite sex finds attractive. However, research on body image demonstrated that perceptions of what the opposite sex finds attractive differ from what the opposite sex actually finds attractive. Moreover, this misperception was present especially among women. That is, women think that men want women to be thinner than men actually want. This thin ideal is conveyed and reinforced by many social influences, including family, peers, schools, athletics, and health care professionals. Nevertheless, the loudest and most aggressive purveyors of images and narratives of ideal slender beauty are the mass media. Young people are bombarded with stick-thin models images that can distort how they feel about themselves. In sum, this "perfect" female body image promoted by magazines, television and films forces women to strive to be thin for the sake of being "ideal" among other women rather than being attractive to men .

Today, kids are exposed to so much information about sex and relationships on TV and the Internet that by the time they approach puberty, they may be familiar with some advanced ideas. And yet, talking about the issues of puberty remains an important job for parents because not all of a child's information comes from reliable sources.
Don't wait for your child to come to you with questions about his or her changing body — that day may never arrive, especially if your child doesn't know it's OK talk to you about this sensitive topic.
Ideally, as a parent, you've already started talking to your child about the changes our bodies go through as we grow. Since the toddler years, kids have questions and most of your discussions probably come about as the result of your child's inquiries.
It's important to answer these questions about puberty honestly and openly — but don't always wait for your child to initiate a discussion. By the time kids are 8 years old, they should know what physical and emotional changes are associated with puberty. That may seem young, but consider this: some girls are wearing training bras by then and some boys' voices begin to change just a few years later.
With girls, it's vital that parents talk about menstruation before they actually get their periods. If they are unaware of what's happening, girls can be frightened by the sight and location of blood. Most girls get their first period when they're 12 or 13 years old, which is about two or two and a half years after they begin puberty. But some get their periods as early as age 9 and others get it as late as age 16.
On average, boys begin going through puberty a little later than girls, usually around age 10 or 11. But they may begin to develop sexually or have their first ejaculation without looking older or developing facial hair first.
Just as it helps adults to know what to expect with changes such as moving to a new home or working for a new company, kids should know about puberty beforehand.
Many kids receive some sex education at school. Often, though, the lessons are segregated, and the girls hear primarily about menstruation and training bras while the boys hear about erections and changing voices. It's important that girls learn about the changes boys go through and boys learn about those affecting girls, so check with teachers about their lesson plans so you know what gaps need to be filled. It's a good idea to review the lessons with your child, since kids often still have questions about certain topics.
When talking to kids about puberty, it's important to offer reassurance that these changes are normal. Puberty brings about so many changes. It's easy for a child to feel insecure, and as if he or she is the only one experiencing these changes.
Many times, adolescents will express insecurity about their appearance as they go through puberty, but it can help them to know that everyone goes through the same things and that there's a huge amount of normal variation in their timing. Acne, mood changes, growth spurts, and hormonal changes — it's all part of growing up and everyone goes through it, but not always at the same pace.
Girls may begin puberty as early as second or third grade, and it can be upsetting if your daughter is the first one to get a training bra, for example. She may feel alone and awkward or like all eyes are on her in the school locker room.
With boys, observable changes include the cracking and then deepening of the voice, and the growth of facial hair. And just as with girls, if your son is an early bloomer, he may feel awkward or like he's the subject of stares from his classmates.
Kids should know the following about puberty:
Not surprisingly, kids usually have lots of questions as they learn about puberty. For you, it's important to make sure you give your child the time and opportunity to ask questions — and answer them as honestly and thoroughly as possible.
Some of the most common questions are:
Let your child know that you're available any time to talk, but it's also important that you make time to talk. As embarrassing or difficult it may be for you to talk about these sensitive topics, your child will likely feel even more uncomfortable. As a parent, it's your job to try to discuss puberty — and the feelings associated with those changes — as openly as possible.
It can be made easier if you're confident that you know the subject matter. First, before you answer your child's questions, make sure your own questions have been answered. If you're not entirely comfortable having a conversation about puberty, practice what you want to say first or ask your child's doctor for advice. Let your child know that it may be a little uncomfortable to discuss, but it's an important talk to have.
If there are questions or concerns about pubertal development that you can't answer, a visit to your child's doctor may help provide reassurance.

The Watertown City Council will find out more Monday night about how the city will be affected by the federal Metropolitan Statistical Area and Metropolitan Planning Organization designations.
Council members plan to discuss the MSA when they meet for a work session at 7 p.m. They initially discussed it a few weeks ago with City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk and Eugene P. Hayes, superintendent of public works, but decided they needed to spend more time getting the lowdown on how it might affect the city.
After gathering information during its last survey, the U.S. Census Bureau declared the greater Watertown area which includes parts of Dexter, LeRay and Carthage and has a population of 57,840 an urbanized region.
The designation might affect federal funding and economic development, especially with public transportation and roads, according to city officials.
The city, Jefferson County and the regional state Department of Transportation have to put together the planning organization by March 23. The three entities representatives met Wednesday to talk about crafting a memorandum of understanding on how to implement the plan, said Elliott B. Nelson, confidential assistant to the city manager.
Council members will get an explanation of the plan, learn more about what it means to the city and finalize the memorandum when they meet Monday night, Mr. Nelson said.
It adds another level of bureaucracy, he said.
Under the program, the greater Watertown area will have its own planning organization, which will be responsible for coordinating state and federal funding of highway and bridge projects as well as public transit.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will have to sign before the organization becomes official, Mr. Hauk said.
The council work session will take place in the third-floor council chambers in City Hall.

MASSENA A 21-year-old Hogansburg man has been ordered to make restitution of $12,593.36 to the St. Lawrence County Workers Compensation program for payments made to a Massena village patrolman injured during a foot pursuit.
Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson last week also ordered Dustin E. Oakes, 1065 Drum Street Road, to pay a $100 fine and a $50 DNA fee and placed him under probation supervision for three years for his convictions for third-degree assault and resisting arrest.
He allegedly was intoxicated and verbally abusive to police officers outside the Hotel Nadeau bar at 2:22 a.m. Sept. 8 when police were trying to interview him about a fight.
He fled when Patrolman Michael Flynn was attempting to handcuff him. A foot pursuit took place for several hundred yards across Andrews Street down to the bank of the Grasse River near the Massena fire station, where he jumped into the river.
Patrolman Flynn slipped on a ledge on the riverbank, fell down the bank and sprained his shoulder and injured his elbow. He was out of work for several months following the incident because of the injuries he suffered in the fall.
The probation department directed Mr. Oakes to make monthly payments of $350 to the St. Lawrence County Workers Compensation program.
Village police, who were assisted by U.S. Border Patrol agents and state police, said Mr. Oakes remained in the river for a time as officers waited for him on the banks. He reportedly came out of the water when rain and lightning started.

Hang them for treason.
Sir this is an internet forum, you'll need to contact the Magistrate directly for them to proceed with your order.
I don't get the whole point of this embargo. The US doesn't want Iran to build nukes when the US already has enough to blow up the world two times! But then again, the two probably got off better than being called and tried as terrorists...
Fourty years is not enough. Civilian use--yeah, right. How about they have their hands cut off, per the Koran?
I thought that maybe they would just build their own. They already rip off Tomcat parts, what's to lose?

My SE One is showing signs of real fret wear.
But I guess after 3 years of SOLID gigging, my meager upkeep just isn't enough. With a good tech's name in hand the plan is to get these frets dressed back into shape along with whatever else needs to be cleaned up. At some point, though, with the amount of wear apparent here, there are only a couple of fret dressings left in this guitar. When would you consider refretting your guitar? Or rather, would you consider refretting an inexpensive guitar or would you just consider it worn out and replace it? Seems wasteful to me - especially for a really good sounding guitar. Needless to say, if it gets refretted, it's going to PTC.
Also, if refretting is done, would you consider stainless frets? Am I asking for a tonal shift?

EAST SYRACUSE The first 7 1/2 minutes of Watertowns 2013 football season couldnt have been any worse. The Cyclones fell behind East Syracuse-Minoa by 32 points and were on the verge of being blown out.
But, after an abysmal start, Vince Williamss club gamely fought back, drawing to within 11 points at halftime before being shut out in the second half during a 47-21 Section 3 Class A crossover loss to the Spartans in the season opener.
Watertown gave up a touchdowns on ES-Ms first two plays from scrimmage, fumbled on its own first two plays and then yielded two more big scoring plays to find itself in a 32-0 hole with 4:29 left in the opening quarter.
But the WHS offense finally produced something positive as Juan Ruiz scored on a 50-yard run late in the first quarter. Kenneth Singletary added a 1-yard TD run early in the second quarter, and Ruiz scored from a yard out late in the half to bring the Cyclones back within striking distance.
WHS couldnt sustain that momentum the second half. New starting quarterback Malik Evans threw three interceptions, and the Spartans turned two of them into TDs to ruin the Cyclones debut.
Singletary, a speedy junior, finished with 28 carries for 122 yards. Evans was 7 of 12 for 133 yards passing, while Eric Soderquist caught five passes for 72 yards.
Henninger transfer RiQuelle Othman gained 112 yards on 18 carries for ES-M and scored three TDs, including a 63-yard scamper on the games opening play. Quarterback Sean Richardson completed 12 of 25 passes for 192 yards and three scores, two to Evan Underwood.
Jude Fusilli scored four consecutive goals to propel the host Cavaliers to a season-opening victory in a Frontier League A Division game.
After Chris Rowland opened the scoring for IHC (1-0), Fusilli tallied the final two goals of the first half and the first two goals after the break. Rowland added three assists, and Matt Guyette scored on a penalty kick.
Nate Kepler scored an unassisted goal for the Comets (0-1).
Erick Torres scored a goal and recorded two assists to spark the Warriors to a crossover victory in Lowville.
Junior Malinoski, Tyler Cook and Ben Godin also scored for Indian River (1-0), and goalie Hunter Mullican made two saves.
Collin Farquhar scored on a penalty kick for the Red Raiders (0-1), and Melvin Zehr also scored.
Ethan Smith scored three goals and assisted on two others as the visiting Spartans earned a B Division win to provide new coach Harry Powers with his first varsity win at the school.
Scott Richardson contributed two goals and two assists for defending division champion South Jefferson (1-0). Jayson Kellogg chipped in with a goal and an assist for the Spartans. Goalie Pete Lumley only had to make three saves to register the shutout.
COPENHAgen 3, alexandria 1
Antonio Figueroa and Brenden Jacobs each recorded one goal and one assist to spark the Golden Knights to the D Division win at Copenhagen.
Connor Eddy added a third goal for defending division champ Copenhagen (1-0).
Alexandria (0-1) received a penalty-kick goal from Jordan VanBrocklin.
Tanner Wiley scored twice as the Indians opened their D Division season with a home win over the Patriots.
Timmy Morrow and Sam Liakhovitch also scored for Lyme (1-0), and goalie Christian Sanford made six saves.
Shean Lynch scored for Sackets Harbor (0-1).
Matt Barton accounted for one goal and one assist as the Red Knights secured a season-opening D Division victory at LaFargeville.
Kelly Ryan also scored, and Colton Denny added an assist for LaFargeville (1-0). Tom ODriscoll made seven saves for the Red Knights.
Maya Smith was a part of four wins to help power the visiting Spartans to a season-opening nonleague victory.
Smith captured the 100- and 200-yard freestyles and swam on two fastest relays.
Julia Marilley tied for first place in the 50 free and contributed to the victorious 200 medley relay for Watertown.
