Oryx and Crakeby Margaret Atwood
Special Powells.com Offer!
Staff Pick
Reading a dystopian novel that so closely matches the current political and cultural situation seems like an exercise in depression, yet part of the truly visceral response to this novel seems due to the realization that it could so easily happen in real life. Oryx and Crake are two larger-than-life characters who are connected to Snowman, the narrator of this post-apocalyptic story. The unraveling of their story and the crisis at the culmination of it are a testament to Atwood's talent. Bleak, uncomfortable, and eerie, Oryx and Crake is a cautionary tale of science and progress. Atwood's Year of the Flood is a companion book, and, when read together, they show a deeply layered picture of a frightening world.
"The genre of doom-laden futuristic fiction has its share of classics ? such as H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four ? and these works are now joined by Margaret Atwood's splendid novel." Richard A. Posner, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A stunning and provocative new novel by the internationally celebrated author of The Blind Assassin, winner of the Booker Prize.
Margaret Atwood's new novel is so utterly compelling, so prescient, so relevant, so terrifyingly-all-too-likely-to-be-true, that readers may find their view of the world forever changed after reading it.
This is Margaret Atwood at the absolute peak of her powers. For readers of Oryx and Crake, nothing will ever look the same again.
The narrator of Atwood's riveting novel calls himself Snowman. When the story opens, he is sleeping in a tree, wearing an old bedsheet, mourning the loss of his beloved Oryx and his best friend Crake, and slowly starving to death. He searches for supplies in a wasteland where insects proliferate and pigoons and wolvogs ravage the pleeblands, where ordinary people once lived, and the Compounds that sheltered the extraordinary. As he tries to piece together what has taken place, the narrative shifts to decades earlier. How did everything fall apart so quickly? Why is he left with nothing but his haunting memories? Alone except for the green-eyed Children of Crake, who think of him as a kind of monster, he explores the answers to these questions in the double journey he takes — into his own past, and back to Crake's high-tech bubble-dome, where the Paradice Project unfolded and the world came to grief.
With breathtaking command of her shocking material, and with her customary sharp wit and dark humor, Atwood projects us into an outlandish yet wholly believable realm populated by characters who will continue to inhabit our dreams long after the last chapter.
"[I]ngenious and disturbing....A landmark work of speculative fiction, comparable to A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, and Russian revolutionary Zamyatin's We. Atwood has surpassed herself." Kirkus Reviews
"Towering and intrepid....Atwood does Orwell one better." New Yorker
"Set in a future some two generations hence, Oryx and Crake can hold its own against any of the 20th century's most potent dystopias — Brave New World, 1984, The Space Merchants — with regard to both dramatic impact and fertility of invention, while it leaves such lesser recent contenders as Paul Theroux and Doris Lessing in the dust." Washington Post
"Atwood has long since established herself as one of the best writers in English today, but Oryx and Crake may well be her best work yet.... Brilliant, provocative, sumptuous and downright terrifying." Baltimore Sun
"A book too marvelous to miss." San Diego Union-Tribune
"Rigorous in its chilling insights and riveting in its fast-paced 'what if' dramatization, Atwood's superb novel is as brilliantly provocative as it is profoundly engaging." Booklist
"[R]iveting, disturbing....Chesterton once wrote of the 'thousand romances that lie secreted in The Origin of Species.' Atwood has extracted one of the most hair-raising of them, and one of the most brilliant." Publishers Weekly
"Her shuddering post-apocalyptic vision of the world . . . summons up echoes of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess and Aldous Huxley. . . . Oryx and Crake [is] in the forefront of visionary fiction." Seattle Times
"Brilliantly constructed. . . . Jimmy and Crake grip like characters out of Greek tragedy. . . . Atwood herself is one of our finest linguistic engineers. Her carefully calibrated sentences are formulated to hook and paralyse the reader." Daily Telegraph
"Atwood does not disappoint." Dallas Morning News
"Biting, black humor and absorbing storytelling.... Atwood entices." USA Today
Oryx and Crake is at once an unforgettable love story and a compelling vision of the future. Snowman, known as Jimmy before mankind was overwhelmed by a plague, is struggling to survive in a world where he may be the last human, and mourning the loss of his best friend, Crake, and the beautiful and elusive Oryx whom they both loved. In search of answers, Snowman embarks on a journey — with the help of the green-eyed Children of Crake — through the lush wilderness that was so recently a great city, until powerful corporations took mankind on an uncontrolled genetic engineering ride. Margaret Atwood projects us into a near future that is both all too familiar and beyond our imagining.

Exelon Nuclear's LaSalle County Generating Station recently awarded scholarships to four local high school graduates for their impressive efforts during the 2009-10 school year.
MARSEILLES, Ill. (May 24, 2010) – Exelon Nuclear's LaSalle County Generating Station recently awarded scholarships to four local high school graduates for their impressive efforts during the 2009-10 school year.
"We appreciate LaSalle Station taking an interest in our students' growth, development and future impact," said Seneca High School Superintendent Mark Thurwanger. "As our students prepare to advance to their next level of education, it is wonderful to see the outreach and support that comes from places like Exelon."
LaSalle Station donated $1,000 to the scholarship funds at Ottawa, Seneca and Streator High Schools. All of the LaSalle Station scholarship recipients are pursuing engineering degrees in college. • Ottawa High School's Samantha Gallo will pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology, while Samuel Hayes will pursue a degree in aerospace engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. • Seneca High School's Matt Stuedemann will pursue a degree in civil engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. • Streator High School's Katelyn Brozak will pursue a degree in engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
LaSalle Station salutes these students and wishes them well in their future academic endeavors.
"These students have pushed themselves to become not only exceptional students, but also well-rounded young adults," said LaSalle Station Site Vice President Dave Wozniak. "Exelon Nuclear and LaSalle Station are proud to give these awards that will help the students in their continued education."
Exelon Nuclear is the largest nuclear generating company in the nation. LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
LaSalle Station is proud of its community outreach program. The station makes charitable contributions to a wide range of local organizations to help improve community, educational, environmental and recreational initiatives within local communities. LaSalle Station has donated more than $30,000 to local organizations so far in 2010.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.

Old Sneakers wrote:Obviously I do not know how the winter meetings will shake out but as is now the team has Jake Arrieta, Jason Hammel, Wei-Yin Chen, Miguel Gonzalez, Chris Tillman, Zach Britton, Tommy Hunter, Dana Eveland and yes even Steve Johnson that it can consider as options for the 2013 rotation. I count nine bodies right there.
I would be surprised (and disappointed) if the team is counting on anyone else than Hammel, Chen, Gonzles, and Tillman for their rotation next season. IMO Arrieta, Matusz, and Britton should be kept at AAA to finish the development they didn't get until last year. Hunter has become a lock down reliever and may be a potential closer. Steve Johnson slots best as a RH long reliever and swing starter. Eveland is not on the 40 Man Roster will will be gone shortly if he hasn't left already.
Old Sneakers wrote:OK Britton, Matusz are Lefties (under-performing or not), still young and way fewer innings pitched than Saunders. Come June Saunders will be 32. Not a death sentence or end of his career age. However, even most of the really good ones decline at that point. I keep thinking that he is going to want a nice payday. Maybe the Orioles will try, but I suspect that they won't. I do consider Joe Saunders a legit #3 or #4 SP certainly. But for how long? The man is going to get attractive offers on the open market and do you want to lock up money for 3-4 years to keep him? I just do not see it happening.
Several things to consider here. Saunders may WANT a big payday, but this winter's FA market for SPs is the absolutely full of options for teams. I can't remember when so many quality SPs were available and that's only going to drive the prices WAY down. SPs that would have demanded a two year deal in other years may have to settle for a minor league one this year. He had six good weeks out of an entire season. Teams simply aren't going to throw money at him when they can buy other SPs they see as equal value for a LOT less money.
Simply put: the ONLY way Joe Saunders gets "3-4 years" is if he robs a liquor store.
Old Sneakers wrote:Jake Arrieta and Brian Matusz have been the team's biggest disappointments. However, I do not see the team parting with both unless the return in a trade is something really significant. By the time the winter meetings take place I think he will already have signed elsewhere. If these two were not part of the equation it might not be such a tough sell to this or any similar player. However, here it is and they do play a part in it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of the SPs I want to see go back to AAA traded this winter so we can fill other holes. If that happens we'll be glad we added veteran SP depth.

Green is in the Bosch DNA, as inseparable from our company as efficient performance. So when you see "Green Technology Inside," we're saying that we've integrated innovative technology into our products to make them even more efficient—without sacrificing performance. From dishwashers that can turn two gallons of water into the cleaning power of 1,300, or energy-saving settings on our dryers, to dozens more features, what you might think of as green, we've always thought of as smart technology.
Look for this card on select Bosch communications to see how much less you'll use with our appliances. It shows that there are real results behind our claims - and shows you what a little innovation can save.
Bosch has been "green" long before Al Gore made it fashionable. For forty years, we've strived to set the standards in innovation using intelligent technology for higher performance and greater user convenience. Being successful in these areas means that many of our home appliances actually exceed ENERGY STAR® qualifications and are among the most energy efficient in the world. But our commitment to the environment doesn't stop there. We apply the same standards of eco-consciousness to our production methods and support those leading the way in the fields of green construction and design. From concept to crate and beyond - we are committed to sustainability throughout the product's life cycle.
As a result of development and innovation, we've been able to cut our appliance water consumption by more than half since the 1990s. During the production process, our factories have significantly reduced the use of fresh water from the public supply while overall water requirements in our factories have fallen every year on record.
One of the most significant means of reducing manufacturing consumption is to ensure that all products are designed to minimize environmental impact and conserve resources. As a result, we redesigned our dishwasher packaging to allow for three-high stacking on a standard trailer, as opposed to only two, resulting in 50% more product shipped with no increase in fuel consumption.
By regulating production, from purchasing raw materials to transport logistics, assembly, and delivery, we keep environmental impact to a minimum. For example, each of our 29 purchasing sites around the world relies on locally based suppliers, which keeps transportation distances to a minimum and makes for a lower carbon footprint. Collecting and separating paper, cardboard, plastic, film, glass, wood and metal waste is also a standard practice in all our factories. As a result, 92% of the total waste volume is now recycled.
Efficient in resources. Sustainable in production. Green technology inside. Maybe that's why the past four years, Bosch has proudly accepted the designation "ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year". Bosch Home Appliances is proud to offer our customers products that have earned the government's ENERGY STAR® label.

"For us, developing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly home appliances is an issue of central importance."
If you're looking for energy efficient appliances, look no further than Bosch. Not only are our eco-friendly appliances green, our manufacturing process has been saving water and energy year after year. Join us in taking the pledge to live more energy efficient and environmentally friendly lifestyles.

|Welcoming entryway
On Saturday, before going to A Dizzy Girl's quite frankly spectacular wedding reception with a few other bloggers(which I'll let her tell you about, not spoilers here), I met my not-so-little little sister and my auntie in Glasgow for a celebratory lunch. Did I mention my sister is about to graduate with a 1st? She's a smart cookie!
|Chandeliers, stairs, crockery everywhere
Hazel book as a table in the newly opened upstairs room of The Butterfly and Pig Tea Rooms. I've been in before, and Dave and I had our engagement party in The Butterfly and Pig's bar, so this is a place I am already quite fond of. This visit has only added to my appreciation of the place.
|Plates, and very Scottish paintings!
|The very large fireplace in our small room
We each had a cream tea, and they were wonderful. The basic elements of a cream tea were there - steaming hot tea, sandwiches, scones and cakes. The sandwiches however, rather than being dainty little ones, were hearty and generously filled - chicken and bacon, chicken salad, cucumber, but with cm thick cream cheese, ham and mustard- on home-made bread. The scones were big and light, filled with cherries and heaped with rhubarb jam and cream. The cakes were flavourful, dense, and icing topped. Add to this steaming hot tea, oatcakes with salmon and cheese and plum chutney, and cucumber pickles and you have happy people.

|lovely chunky sandwiches(and crockery!)!
I should explain that the thing I was most impressed with, I didn't actually eat! My auntie is Coeliac, which means she can't have gluten or wheat. When Hazel booked, they asked about dietary requirements, and having explained, we went feeling sure they would have at least gotten some bread so that my auntie could have a sandwich, and maybe made a cake. When Hazel and I ordered our Afternoon tea, my aunt tentatively mentioned that the she was Coeliac, and was promptly offered an afternoon tea of her own. She got the same fillings we had on home-made gluten free bread, three kinds of cake, wheat free crackers, and the same extras we had. Having frequently gone to places with her where she could have maybe one thing for the menu, it was an utter delight to see her given more options than she could actually eat.

Depending on the area, flooding in St. Lawrence County is better, worse, or about the same.
Im getting mixed reports, county Emergency Services Director Michael J. LeCuyer said.
While some flooded areas of the Oswegatchie River appeared to be receding, such as in Gouverneur, the water was up Thursday in downstream sections in the town of DeKalb near Richville. Other areas appeared improved with some roadways, such as Route 58 at Route 184 in Pope Mills, reopened by the state Department of Transportation.
Black Lake is expected to remain high for at least a week because of its size, Mr. LeCuyer said.
Theres not a whole lot of change there, he said.
Overall, the Oswegatchie is starting to recede and stabilize, said Julie A. Smith-Galvin, spokeswoman for Brookfield Renewable Energy, which operates a series of hydroelectric projects on rivers in the county.
Well continue to watch everything, she said.
County roads that remained closed Thursday afternoon included County Route 15 in Rensselaer Falls, Bay Road Bridge in Fowler, Days Mill Road Bridge in Hopkinton, and county routes 3 and 7 in the town of Rossie, and a portion of County Route 10 in the town of Rossie.
In Gouverneur, residents of 40 apartments at Cambray Court, a complex mostly for senior citizens, remained evacuated. They were staying on cots in Cambrays community room, at Kinney Nursing Home, and with friends and family. If the Oswegatchie continued to recede, they might be allowed to go home this afternoon.
The St. Regis River is also starting to recede while the Raquette is beginning to rise.
Were just seeing numbers come up there but were not expecting anything unusual, Ms. Smith-Galvin said.
Brookfield has dropped emergency action plans for the South Edwards dam and Hogansburg dam in Franklin County.
The South Edwards dam was never in jeopardy, but when the water reached a certain point, Brookfield was required to activate the first step of its emergency procedure, Mr. LeCuyer said.
Residents should put safety first when approaching high water, Ms. Smith-Galvin said.
These are very powerful rivers, especially when theyre flowing like this, she said.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo declared a state of emergency for the north country Tuesday because of the flooding.
Mr. LeCuyer has asked fire departments and municipal officials to compile and submit damage assessments in the event the county meets the baseline for disaster assistance. He is looking for the number of flooded basements, evacuations, and the extent of first-floor flooding.
The state wants numbers, he said.

Except for one thing.
The Person Name Smart Tags that appear in Office applications and Sharepoint insist on checking either Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger to see whether or not a person is logged in.

"A Rediscovery of an Old Friend"
My mother, an English teacher for many years, impressed a deep love for the classics upon me. Dickens remains a personal favorite as I love the depth of his characters, the movement of the action, and the timeliness of his stories.
Tale is a perfect example of Dickens' writing at its finest. Weaving an intricate story of family and friends embroiled in the French Revolution, the author leaves the listener on edge at the end of every chapter; one simply cannot hit the pause button but instead must know what happens next.
When I was in tenth grade (many more years ago than I care to admit), my class read this novel, and we actually read it aloud. Suffice it to say, the narrator of this version has much more talent than my classmates and me. :) The narrator absolutely brought this book to life. The character voices were outstanding (although the one for Lucy was a bit odd, but it worked OK). You could not only hear but feel the passion of the marvelous text.
I hope you enjoy this lovely version. I believe it's one you'll want to turn to again and again.
"Truly exceptional"
This is an absolutely outstanding audiobook. The story is one of Dickens' most enthralling works, and Martin Jarvis' narration captures its essence with unmatched passion. Dickens' wit sparkles in Jarvis' voice as brightly as the darkness and helplessness loom heavily. The characters come to life in all their facets, keeping up with the lively narration. If you are looking for the right Dickens for entertainment, you can't go wrong with A Tale of Two Cities. And if you are looking for the right version of this masterpiece - you will enjoy this one tremendously.
"Best made Better"
The reader of this book brings it to life in a way far superior to the written word. It's always been a classic and my favorite, but now it's even better.
Retired teacher of literature with an interest in religion and in science and in history. I have loved reading for 50 years.
"Enchanting, inspiring, exciting"
One needs some patience to get used to Dickens' style in the early parts of this wonderful book, but listening to the audio helps make the story understandable. And like so many of life's treasures that require work before reward, this story pays off the patient reader in the end with emotional and intellectual paybacks that top all books I know of except possibly Les Miserables. My first attempst to read the book led nowhere, but finally I listened to the audio and read the book at the same time (more or less) and I got hooked into a book that I rank as one of the two best fiction works I have ever read (and I am a teacher of English with 30 years experience, and a bookworm too...) I have now read and listened to the book about ten times and I plan to revisit it again, at least every two years....it is too good to ignor.
"Very well portrayed"
An excellent version of this classic tale. The voice is extremely clear and effectively portrays the numerous characters in the book - to the point that, even if you can't remember their names, you recognise them by the reader's tone.
"Excellent In Every Way"
This may just be the quintessential audiobook version of A Tale of Two Cities. I have a preference for a single narrator of the classics such as the Dicken's novels (as opposed to multiple actors) and Martin Jarvis is absolutely excellent in this role. His main narration of the text is confident and consistent with no affectations or pregnant pauses and the voices he gives to the characters are spot-on.
If you are new to the great 'A Tale of Two Cities', then you are in for a particularly exciting treat. If, on the other hand, you are returning to it again (as was my case), Martin Jarvis may just make you think you are hearing it for the first time. 'It was the best of times....'
"Top notch!"
For any fan of Dickens, this is a no-brainer. The narration is terrific and it only adds to the story. I will leave the critical review of Dickens' view of the French Revolution to others. For my money, this is one of the best ways to enjoy this classic novel. Highly recommend.
"Great Book, Fantastic Narration"
This book is a little richer and less formulaic that some Dickens novels (and I like most Dickens novels.) There are some great themes running through it. You might even shed a tear at the beautiful ending.
The narration on this book is one of the best I have ever heard. The voices are so well created and differentiated that the narrator could have never read "said ___" etc and I would have known exactly which of the 5-6 characters in a scene was talking.
Highly Recommended!
A wonderful version. I've started this book several times, but only now finished it. I'm glad I did. This has given me a new appreciation for the power of Dickens' writing. I strongly recommend it.
OOhhhhh...such a hard book to read or listen to -- at first - then it is as great as David Copperfield or his other works. The characters are so well exemplified. Mr. Dickens is a wonder to beyond at creating characters and making them so believeable and entertaining. You really get to "know" them. Everyone, give this reading a real chance. This is one of my favorite all-time books. Bravado!
And, Martin Jarvis, reading is fantastic. I question if there was indeed only one reader. He plays each character. I would almost call it a dramatization.
A great story. A heartfelt story. Yet -- history. You learn something in the reading (or listening) of this story. Human nature - be it compassion or barbarism - is human nature and we are probably all capable of both put into certain circumstances.
All in all, this is so worth your time. It is entertaining, enlightening, and pure wonder at the wisdom of Dickens words. I loved it!!
"The best of books, the best of readers"
Possibly Dickens' greatest work, certainly English literatures greatest opening AND closing lines 'A Tale of Two Cities' may also be the incomparable Martin Jarvis's greatest reading.
His characterisation enhances the written text, bringing life to the already lively players in this masterpiece.
Possibly the best of the hundreds of auido books I have enjoyed.
This audiobook is like a good symphony conducted by a really great director. It is an amazing work by Martin Javis: so many diferent voices that it seems as if he were 10 actors.
"Outstanding classic"
This gripping, stirring tale deserves its accolade of 'literary classic'.
And Martin Jarvis' narration is a match for Dickens' genius with his mellifluous tone and versatile array of different character voices.
Loved it. You can't go wrong buying this audio book!
"Dickens and Jarvis doing what they each do best"
Martin Jarvis employs his great range in making each of the many characters in this book burst into life. And it's a great story of injustice and hate, full of initial mystery which unfolds layer after layer as it draws all the players togther in the final act. Some of Dickens lends itself to some judicially abridging but 'A Tale of Two Cities' all in all stays on track and is worth going the full distance.
"Don't fall for a cheaper version of this book!"
I made the mistake of purchasing a cheaper (unrated) version of this book. I spent a good few hours slogging through it, with many rewinds to clarify the story, by the end of the first download I reached a point where I thought that this book was beyond me but I did not want to declare defeat. Having previously listened to Martin Jarvis narrate Great Expectations I decided to download his version of a Tale of Two Cities. I am so thankful I did so as it has been an enjoyable listen, and with some additional historical background information from a Dicken's site, an informative read. This is the version to download.
"Great story, brilliant narration"
This was an absolute pleasure to listen to. Martin Jarvis is brilliant and keeps your interest in the long convoluted Dickensian passages as well as so cleverly playing all the characters. He even manages to say the well known opening and ending with new emphasis and meaning.
"A really enjoyable listen"
Martin Jarvis does the Tale of Two Cities brilliantly. I never thought I'd find Dickens so compulsive and I've listened to this more than once. Highly recommended. If you don't think you are a Dickens fan - try this!
"a Tale of Two Cities"
Having just finished listening to this I felt moved to write a review! I thought this was absolutely superb. Beautifully read by Martin Jarvis, he brought the characters alive and as you listened you felt they were there beside you. I can't recommend this too highly enough
"By which all others are judged....."
A cultural heritage which places the Victorian novel at the centre of all we do and the trained voice as the medium through which it is delivered....it's a shame that we are giving this away and our kids aren't being taught this stuff at school isn't it? In our day it was one Dickens per year in the class-room, Martin Jarvis as Uriah Heep on the telly of a Sunday tea time and an illustrated version on the bookshelf in the parlour.
Now look at us....Facebook, MySpace and Britain's Got Talent...nice to escape back into those characters, that story and most of all that voice.
"Amazing novel, and superb performance"
This book somehow got past me all my life till now but it is a must-read. Very contemporary in feel with its treatment of oppression, revolution, and the terrible consequences of both. Dickens treats these awful matters with a startling lucid lack of sentimentality.
Though I knew the first and last lines by heart because they are so often quoted, only now do I begin to understand them.
The reading by Martin Jarvis is absolutely wonderful. He does the individual voices without descending into unnecessary pastiche, and he captures the irony and imagery of the main text extremely well. I have never heard a better reading of any book.

(c) Affirmative Defense.— It is an affirmative defense against a forfeiture under subsection (b) that the property—

|Men's Basketball to Face High Point in ESPNU BracketBuster
|Written by Charles Cochrum
|Monday, 31 January 2011 20:37
Appalachian State University men's basketball will travel to face High Point on February 19 in the ESPNU BracketBuster event, the network announced on Monday evening. Tipoff for the contest is set for 7 p.m.The in-state rivals have met 90 times as Conference Carolinas members, but not since 1977-78, when ASU (8-13) took a 72-56 decision at Varsity Gym.
The Panthers are 7-13 on the season and 4-7 in Big South play. HPU fell at Wofford, 79-65, in mid-December to set off an eight-game losing streak before snapping out of the skid on January 20 with an overtime win at Presbyterian. In addition to the Terriers, High Point and ASU share one other common opponent this season. HPU fell at The Citadel, 71-63, in November.
Though the teams have not squared off in more than 30 years, members of each coaching staff have experience facing each other. ASU associate head coach Rick Scruggs battled High Point in Big South competition over the last few seasons at Gardner-Webb. Meanwhile, HPU assistant coach Kevin Easley served on the UNC Greensboro staff for three seasons prior to joining Scott Cherry's staff in 2009.
ASU is 2-2 in four seasons in the BracketBuster event, including 1-1 on the road. The Apps defeated Wichita State, 60-58, in ASU's first year with the event 2007. The Mountaineers then dropped an equally close 65-63 heartbreaker at Winthrop in '09. Appalachian handily defeated Tennessee Tech, 81-68, last season at the Holmes Center.
Following ASU's current three-game swing, the squad plays its final five Southern Conference contests at home. Appalachian's next home tilt is slated for February 10 at 7 p.m. against Samford on "Celebrate Watauga Night."

Narrow your search
The refresh includes a revamped interface that boasts a new sidebar on the left for easier navigation across columns.
The Windows version now matches the look and layout of TweetDeck's Web-based app.
Announced a few months ago, the new app programming interface cuts off support for TweetDeck, as well as a handful of third-party Twitter clients.
The newly revamped Web site offers up a cleaner design and moves virtually all of the commands a user needs to a left sidebar.
In March, Twitter announced it would focus efforts on TweetDeck's Web version. Facebook support, as well as versions for iPhone and Android, have disappeared.
The application for power-users will cease to exist in three weeks, though the web app will continue as it is.
Twitter is laying to rest several versions of the power-user-friendly tool.
Personal browser apps will go dead after May so TweetDeck team can focus on Web-based versions instead.
The update, meant to bring the Web and Chrome apps in line with features already available on TweetDeck's AIR app, will let users set a variety of column search criteria.
A very peculiar, very James Franco ad for Motorola's new phone, featuring the man himself, appears online. Has Franco switched?

Adventure Track Seat- Lo-Pro (2 pc, 2up)
Brand Fitment: Triumph
Model Fitment: EXPLORER 1200
Year Fitment: 2012-2014
Lowered Foam Height
Drag Specialties/Parts Unlimited Part #: 0810-1383
Brand Fitment: Triumph
Model Fitment: EXPLORER 1200
Year Fitment: 2012-2014
Lowered Foam Height
The Adventure TRACK seat is a hybrid design that combines Saddlemen's exclusive elements of a GEL comfort layer and progressive density foam with our patented GEL-Channel saddle design that delivers unparalleled comfort and control. Designed using advanced engineering, this family of seats is for the active and discriminating adventure rider. Each seat contains features that complement the motorcycle, in several cases overcoming the original seats' design challenges:
The waterproof WP-suede cover over the rider's cockpit provides the proper amount of grip - an attribute that is essential when the road ahead turns rough. The passenger section (and some of the seats for the mid-sized dual sports) is covered with a tough grippy material that also keeps things in place and is supple to the touch. All of Saddlemen's marine-grade covers are unfazed by the elements, detergents or fuel. Water simply wipes away from the center section with a brush of your hand and the cover dries quickly.
Foam & GEL:
Saddlemen's GEL technology resides in each seat and each inch of it exceeds the comfort of three inches of conventional foam. Our progressive density, closed cell foam never absorbs water and has been carefully sculpted and tested for maximum riding performance.
Foundation (Pan, Brackets & More):
Each Adventure TRACK seat is designed to fit better that a stock seat because it is constructed on strong, gel-coated fiberglass pan with plated steel brackets for a superb fit. Our motto of "fitting better than stock" is apparent each time you mount the seat. If you're going on an adventure, your seat can't let you down.
Easy to take extra cargo:
Because each riding mission needs flexibility, we've designed in integrated bag or cargo mounting points on the pillion seat that link up with our Adventure PACK luggage and other tail bags. We've added a gripper top cover to the pillion section of the seat to aid in keeping your pack or passenger in place during your adventure.
But wait, there's more – solo options:
If you have a bike with a two-piece seat there are some applications with a rider's solo seat option. This is a great choice to rider's taking on their big ride alone and need to maximize the storage space where the passenger normally resides. And each Saddlemen Adventure TRACK solo fits perfectly with the stock passenger seat in place too.
These Adventure TRACK features make sure that these seats are a vital accessory for the discriminating to use when circumnavigating the globe.
General Information
Without question SaddleGel is the most important breakthrough in motorcycle seating technology in decades. This amazing product will increase the amount of time you spend on your motorcycle, creating the comfort necessary to ride all day.
With decades of experience in foam pouring and formulation, Saddlemen has engineered the perfect motorcycle seating foam for maximum riding distance and pleasure.
Covering the Black Magic™ foam and SaddleGel™ combination with its sleek styling and contour fitted cover that has been engineered into each Saddlemen seat brings us to the final section of our integrated comfort system.
Saddlemen has been making seats for three decades and many of their craftsmen have more than thirty years of seat making experience to insure that you get the best seat available – the perfect blend of style, comfort, craftsmanship and value.
A Saddlemen split cushion seat is divided into separate flat seat support and backrest platforms. Saddlemen separates and divides the seat into two functions; one a vertical surface for back support and the other a horizontal platform for a soft, supportive seating surface.

Defense attorney Peter A. Dumas is the third potential candidate in the race for St. Lawrence County district attorney.
Im testing the waters. I went and talked to the Conservatives this morning, he said Sunday. I spoke to the Republicans a little bit, but not recently.
Mr. Dumas has not announced his candidacy, and he is not yet backed by any party. If he runs, he will go up against District Attorney Nicole M. Duv�, a Democrat, and former St. Lawrence County public defender Mary E. Rain, a Republican who revealed her intention to run in March.
Mr. Dumas is not from St. Lawrence County; he lives and works in Malone, in Franklin County. His experience has taken him throughout the region, he said.
I like to look at myself as a north country boy, he said.
Mr. Dumas has bachelors degrees in political science from SUNY Oswego and environmental science from SUNY Plattsburgh, and his law degree is from Pace University Law School, White Plains, north of Manhattan. He has been practicing law for 12 years and has had his own practice for seven.
Mr. Dumas has known Ms. Duv� for his entire law career and hesitated to run.
Shes been a really good friend for a really long time, he said. But I really fear for that office right now. I know things are rough in St. Lawrence County.
He criticized the way the office handles cases. They are dismissed too easily and do not move through the system quickly enough, creating a backup, he said.
There needs to be a real close look at how they can move a little smoother, he said.
All the candidates are seeking the Conservative Partys endorsement. Mr. Dumas and Ms. Duv� met with party leaders Sunday; Ms. Rain met with them several weeks ago.
Party Chairman Henry R. Ford said the talks have been informal.
We will have an interview session in May sometime, he said.
After the interviews, the party willendorse someone.
Ms. Duv� said it is too soon to guess what the party will do, especially because Mr. Dumas has not announced his candidacy.
I cant predict what any particular group of people may or may not do, she said.
I have a lot of experience, with an office this size and a caseload this size, helping the people of the county, she said.
Ms. Rain said the news of his potential candidacy came as a sudden shift.
Pete had expressed interest a while ago, but he also told everyone that he wasnt going to run, she said. Im actually kind of surprised to hear that now hes met with the Conservatives. I dont know what has changed his mind.
She also said he would not be the best choice for St. Lawrence County because of his Franklin County residency and his lack of prosecuting experience.
As for her campaign efforts, I think its been very positive, she said. Ive been out campaigning with several different organizations.
If Mr. Dumas and Ms. Rain seek the Republican nomination, a primary may be held in September.
Mr. Dumas acknowledged the race would be challenging.
Its kind of a daunting prospect to get involved in something like this with people like Nicole and Mary. They are both accomplished attorneys, he said.
He compared the election to a trial. Even though he respects the opposing attorneys, he still has to do what he can to win.
I just hope I come out the winner at the end of this trial, he said.

Video: Remembering Newtown Victims
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut town where the crackle of gunfire was heard a week ago has been filled with the sound of bells chiming this morning.
Church bells were rung 26 times -- once for each of the teachers and children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday.
Similar commemorations took place throughout the country. The White House says president Barack Obama privately observed a moment of silence.
Outside the town hall in Newtown, traffic stopped as bells rang out to honor the dead. Firefighters bowed their heads around a memorial filled with teddy bears, other stuffed animals and a New York Giants pillow.
One woman who says she knew seven of the victims says when she heard the bells -- in her words -- "it just melted my soul." Another woman, who came from a neighboring town, said, "Everybody wants to do something." She says the shooting "shook that false sense of security that we had."

|Templeton Responds in Special Use Permit Issue
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 05 October 2012 08:17
Complying with a Court of Appeals ruling—and taking no new information—the Boone Board of Adjustment late yesterday afternoon met the court's order in the issue of a special use permit that would have allowed construction of a medical clinic at 315 State Farm Road.
Phil Templeton, who has sought the special use permit, issued a statement this afternoon, saying that the Board of Adjustments erred by not providing sufficient findings of fact to support their denial of the permit almost 6 years ago, and he said this case has cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and that thousands of additional taxpayer dollars will likely be spent before the case is resolved. He said that the case now goes back to Watauga Superior Court and will possibly be heard again by the Court of Appeals—possibly even the North Carolina Supreme Court. Attorney Tony de Santi requested for Templeton to incorporate a new statement of facts from Templeton on the matter, but the board refused, saying they only wanting only to comply with the court order, according to Chairman Rich Crepeau.. The matter was first put before the town in 2007, was denied, then was ordered for reconsideration by the Court of Appeals. In 2009, again, the matter was returned by the courts to Boone after finding issues with the town's process—that for allowing additional findings of fact. It would appear that it will find its way back to court again.

The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live in Texas 1978
NCM Fathom, More2Screen, and Eagle Rock are partnering to present a never-before-seen Rolling Stones concert filmed live in Fort Worth, Texas on July 18, 1978. The Rolling Stones Some Girls tour is widely believed to be one of the bands' greatest concerts, largely because it was in many ways back to basics both in musical and staging terms--a return to classic Stones numbers mixed with blues numbers and Chuck Berry covers, as well as including a large number of songs from the newly released Some Girls LP. In addition to this never-before-seen concert event, fans will get to see an exclusive interview with Mick Jagger, where he will reflect on memories of this great concert and its significance in the band's history.

"To Be a poor man is hard,But to be a poor race in a landof dollars is the very bottom of hardship"
-W.E.B Du Bois
African American Studies
Now Hiring:
Assistant Professor (click here for details)
The African American Studies Program (AFAM) is a member of the Department of Diversity & Community Studies.
Our Mission:
The African American Studies Program offers Western Kentucky University an enlarged cultural perspective and increased awareness of the African American experience. The program fosters an understanding of African American culture by
- Offering students an African American Studies Minor, which when viewed from the cross-disciplinary perspective, the AFAM Minor provides a comprehensive and honest picture of the life and institutions of American people of African ancestry, and of their role in the development of the United States.
- Sponsoring workshops, dialogues, and other activities throughout the academic year that showcase the accomplishments of African Americans.
We want you!
Western Kentucky University is committed to having a culturally diverse campus community. Our official documents contain and our actions reiterate that commitment. We hope that you will join us at this great University. Plan a campus visit and speak with our students, faculty, and staff. You will come to discover that this is an excellent place for you to pursue your "higher education." We look forward to seeing you on "the Hill!"
The African American Experience --
'Don't forget your roots; don't ever forget where you came from'.
Not forgetting our history is exactly the reason why we developed the African American Studies Program. This Program flows from the belief that the story told regarding African Americans is biased and must be re-examined from the standpoint of people of African descent as being agents in the making and "telling" of their own stories and history, and not as a marginalized or footnoted addendum to American and European History.
The program examines seven basic subject areas: African American history, religion, social organization, politics, economics, psychology, and creative production (which consists of Black Art, Music, and Literature). Through an examination of these broad areas, the student begins to understand and appreciate the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the African American Experience.
As a Program, we host discussions, performances, roundtables, a lecture series, seminars, films, and other cultural enterprises here on "the Hill." So come join us as we explore the rich history and culture of African Americans. Students in African American Studies will retrace the steps of runaway slaves during a trip to the Underground Railroad Museum in Ripley, OH and the Freedom Museum in Cincinnati, OH. Also, they will visit Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Memphis as part of the Civil Rights Tour.

Skillet Corn Bread with Jalapeño Honey Butter
I am on a mission people. A mission to clean out all of the bits and bobs and random bags of who knows what that have been hiding in the dark corners of my pantry (can just one cupboard be called a pantry?) and fridge for who knows how long. First up was the half full bag of cornmeal and the sad jalapeño left over from a pepper jelly adventure. Note to self: use gloves next time you make pepper jelly, seriously you are not that tough. Moving on...I think my heavy cast iron skillet was the most important part of this bready equation so use one if you have it. If you don't, a stainless steel skillet would probably work, but you will miss out on the superb crunchy crust that the cast iron gives the bread. I originally planned on chopping up the jalapeño and adding it into the batter, but Mr. Honey Bear caught my eye and I realized that it would be much better utilized in a sweet, spicy accompaniment, and jalapeño honey butter was born. The sweet, savory, spicy combo will knock your socks off so break out the cast iron this weekend and try out this recipe. Happy Friday!
Skillet Cornbread
adapted from epicurious
1 1/2c yellow cornmeal
3/4t baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
kernels from one ear of fresh corn, about a cup
2 large eggs
1 3/4c buttermilk or milk with 1T of lemon juice or vinegar mixed in
4T unsalted butter, softened
Heat your oven to 425º. Place a dry, 9'' cast iron skillet in the middle of the oven to heat while you prepare the other ingredients
1. In a medium bowl, stir the cornmeal, baking soda, and salt together.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
3. Remove your skillet from the oven, careful it's hot! Toss in the butter and swirl it around the bottom and sides to melt it. Add the melted butter to the buttermilk/egg mix, then put the skillet back into the oven until you are ready to use it.
4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, then gently fold in the corn kernels. Pour the mixture into the hot cast iron pan and slide it back into the oven. Bake for 20-25min or until golden. Serve warm with jalapeño honey butter.
Jalapeño Honey Butter
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3T honey
1/2 of a jalapeño, minced finely
pinch salt
Whisk all of the ingredients together. Store leftover butter tightly wrapped in the fridge or freezer.
- If you are nice to your cast iron pans, they will last forever. Just please, for the love of unicorns, don't wash it with soap and make sure it is totally dry before you put it away. I always heat mine on the stove until all of the water evaporates.
- If you don't have a cast iron pan, you can buy them real cheap at most hardware stores.

I'm a southern girl at heart (having grown up in Arkansas) and I love cornbread! Your sweet/spicy butter seems like a great idea.ReplyDelete
oh my goodness, this looks so good. i'm pretty obsessed with cornbread and am down to try almost any cornbread recipe. i've even made cornbread that has quinoa in it, and one that has brown rice and apple juice! good old southern cornbread that is more gritty than cakey and more savory than sweet is the kind of cornbread i love though, so this looks perfect. paired with the honey butter? amazing! beautiful pictures as always.ReplyDelete
Wow! I can't wait to try this cornbread in my cast iron pan! Nice touch with the sweet and spicy butter. YUM!ReplyDelete
Sounds amazing. Living just five miles from Lodge manufacturing headquarters & knowing so many of their management, I can assure you this would be a hit with the locals, especially the ones this this house!ReplyDelete
Looks so simple yet so delicately prepared. I must have some of this.ReplyDelete
Absolutely loving the idea of jalapeno honey butter!! Such a great idea! Thanks for the great post and inspiration.ReplyDelete
I only have a tiny little iron pan for steak, so have to do it the other way. The butter sounds so delicious though, that I might only try this one for now. ;) Sure great for a nice BBQ!ReplyDelete
Jess - I am far from southern, but I love cornbread...and butterReplyDelete
Natalie - Cornbread with quinoa sounds great!
renee - Cast iron was made for this
Jen - Awesome, I have a Lodge Skillet and I love it! I hope you try out the recipe.
myfudo - thanks!
Rachel - I hope you try out the sweet/spicy combo. It is a real winner!

Thank you Yossy! I've been trying to figure out what to do with the abundance of Jalapenos in our garden. This is perfect!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 29, 2011 at 11:33 PM
Thank you so much for this amazing recipe! I've been (struggling) gluten free/dairy free since January, and cornbread was one of those things that I always thought SHOULD be gluten-free-able, and somehow I was never able to find a recipe like yours. I just sat down with a wedge of this and some black bean chili, and this is exactly what all cornbread should be - I can't wait to try it again!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 1, 2012 at 2:32 AM
Oh my. I have been battling various cornbread recipes for years, and the search has just ended. This was delicious! Well done! Using only cornmeal and no flour makes a lot of difference.ReplyDelete
Amazing! Just came out of the oven. Light, savory, not sweet, savory!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to try the jalapeño butter
Oh yeah-I put jalapeños in my cornbread too. Yum!
I made this cornbread today! It was delicious :) I didn't make the jalapeño butter yet, but I'm sure it will make an appearance the next time I make this cornbread. Thanks for the recipe.ReplyDelete

General Use:Acrylic plastic glasses and dishes are break-resistant. Acrylic is a good alternative to glass for outdoor use since it won't shatter dangerously like glass drinkware or ceramic tableware.Dishwasher use:Hand washing is recommended for acrylic plastic drinking glasses and dishes to retain their luster and beauty. Acrylic tableware can be washed in the dishwasher, but it will eventually cloud and possibly craze (show fine lines) due to the heat of the dishwasher. Microwave use: Acrylic drinkware and dishes are not recommended for microwave use.Scratching and Wear: Acrylic plates are not scratch-proof. Acrylic plastic dishes are not recommended for heavy use with knives. Melamine Plastic Dishes are ideal for heavy use with knives - see our Plastic Tableware section for several durable Melamine styles.

Some of the most relevant and interesting work that management consultants do is helping companies define, develop and deploy strategic capabilities. Not the ordinary capabilities that every company needs to have (i.e. standard supply chain or sales capabilities), but differentiated capabilities that provide a unique competitive advantage. These course will focus on a specific set of capabilities that drive market positioning and growth using examples from some of the world's leading companies such as GE´s global innovation, Pepsi´s unique direct store delivery (DSD), Colgate´s global expansion or Mittal´s acquisition and post merger integration capabilities. The primary objective of this class is for students to learn how to define, develop and deploy strategic capabilities, including:
- Defining a company's strategic capability set. A coherent group of differentiated capabilities that uniquely supports the company's strategy in the products and markets in which it has chosen to play.
- Developing a capability. Assembling the right combination of processes, knowledge, skills, and organizational fabric that allow the company to deliver consistently on a distinctive capability.
- Deploying a capability across a global enterprise. Being able to both replicate and adapt a specific capability across a coherent group of businesses and geographic markets.
A complimentary objective of this course, by choosing to focus on market driving capabilities and providing a global perspective, is to give students an understanding of the types of capabilities that are required to pursue and capture global growth.

MASSENA The Town Council voted unanimously Wednesday to put a two-story house near Massena International Airport out to bid for salvage.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said hes received two oral offers for the home.
One potential buyer offered $2,000 and expressed interest in disassembling and moving the building next spring. The second person interested in disassembling the structure offered considerably more than $2,000, although less than the towns desired price of $10,000, Mr. Gray said.
The supervisor did not disclose the amount of the second offer.
The council voted unanimously in February to issue a request for proposals to sell the four structures at 367 N. Raquette River Road adjacent to the airport. Until recently, the property was a private residence owned by Stephen M. Trautmann.
The parcel is within the Federal Aviation Administrations runway protection zone and must be cleared to meet requirements, according to Jon P. Donahue, department manager with C&S Engineers, which provides services at the airport. The FAA prohibits buildings within that area in order to create a buffer zone for planes near the airport.
The house has been in the zone for the 28 years it has been standing, but it went unnoticed by the FAA until a study several years ago, Mr. Donahue previously said.
The homes removal has nothing to do with the often-discussed airport expansion.
The Trautmanns lived in the house until recently, when the town bought the property. A $240,000 portion of a $1.3 million FAA grant for Massena airport improvements funded that purchase. Included in that portion is a local contribution of about $15,000.
The house itself is assessed at about $175,000, Mr. Gray said. However, the fact that the structure needs to be moved off the property makes a possible sale difficult.
Its a full two-story house. You cant just throw it on a tractor-trailer and move it down the road, Mr. Gray said.
Councilman John F. Macaulay pointed out the advantage of having another property on the tax rolls if the house were moved to another site in the town. One of the potential bidders expressed interest in moving the house across the road or to a site on nearby Bayley Road.
But Mr. Macaulay noted that the offer of $2,000 is considerably less than the town wants.
Its not our position to make another persons low bid profitable, Mr. Macaulay said.
As much as Id like to see it stay on the tax rolls, Id rather have the bird in hand.
Town officials said they could fill in the basement on site after the building is demolished.
Were always dumping fill, looking for someplace to put the fill, Highway Superintendent Frank J. Diagostino said.
Town officials indicated they would be willing to work with the successful bidder on a time frame for completing the work, likely hoping to have the work done by June.
