The Secret Agent and Rich and Strange
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive
August 4, 2013
The Secret Agent
Musing over the disappointing box office of Secret Agent, a film he otherwise liked, Hitchcock told Truffaut,"There was too much irony, too many twists of fate." Those same qualities make it one of the most enduringly complex features of his Gaumont-British years, a film that Raymond Durgnant saw as anticipating the "eerie and unwelcome alloy of freedom and guilt" found in the auteur's best films. Based on Somerset Maugham's Ashenden stories, the film serves as a veritable compendium of Hitchcockian motifs: from a fake funeral to a falsified marriage, a spy ring operating out of a chocolate factory to a murder observed through a telescope, a seemingly telepathic dog to an expired organist. Two English agents played by John Gielgud and a curly-haired Peter Lorre track their target by a telltale missing button, but in this case the irresistible Hitchcockian premise proves gravely misleading. Madeleine Carroll is the phony wife whose eagerness to play detective curdles just as quickly as the plot's farcical tone.
Rich and Strange
Fed up with the evening commute and steak-and-kidney pie, Henry Kendall complains to his wife that he wants more from life. Rich and Strange may be relatively free of conventional suspense, but Hitchcock gives the characters plenty of reason to watch what they wish for: an exotic cruise instigates a prolonged crisis of faith. Initially a box office disappointment, the film's steely-eyed study of a relationship under pressure now seems to directly anticipate later triumphs like The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) and Marnie. Hitchcock deftly interweaves his protagonists' blinkered emotions and cultural values in crafting the cautionary tale about the moral danger of pursuing life in fantasy—a peculiar message to find delivered in a film entertainment, to be sure, but one close to the heart of Hitchcock's knotted art.

Mercury Systems (formerly Mercury Computer Systems) delivers digital signals faster than a winged messenger. The company makes real-time digital signal processing (DSP) systems for the homeland security, military and aerospace, and telecommunications markets. Its military systems process radar, sonar, and other signals. It also makes specialized electronics used in semiconductor wafer inspection and airport baggage screeners. Mercury Systems acts as a subcontractor to prime contractors such as Northrop Grumman and Raytheon. The company also provides intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems to homeland security and intelligence agencies through subsidiary Mercury Federal Systems.
Operations Mercury Systems operates in two business segments: Advanced Computing Solutions (ACS) and Mercury Federal Systems (MFS). ACS provides high-performance embedded computing systems for aerospace and defense, semiconductor, and telecommunications; it accounts for nearly 90% of the company's revenue. A latecomer to the defense industry, MFS, created in 2007 and headquartered outside Washington DC, designs, engineers, and deploys ISR systems for ballistic missile defense and electronic warfare.
Geographic Reach Mercury Systems has research and development centers and other facilities in the US (Alabama, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Virginia), Japan, and the UK. It generates more than 95% of sales from the US; Europe and the Asia-Pacific region each account for about 2%.
Sales and Marketing Together, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin account for more than 50% of revenue.
Financial Performance
Total revenue rose 7% in fiscal 2012 (ended June) to about $245 million. A less than 1% drop in ACS sales was more than offset by a jump of 150% in MFS sales, which was driven by a wide area persistent surveillance project and revenue from newly acquired Paragon Dynamics. Net income jumped more than 20% to $23 million on the rise in sales and tight cost control. Strategy Mercury Systems has gone through a number of reorganizations over the years to pare down its product portfolio and focus on its core business in embedded computing and other data-intensive applications. It also renamed itself from Mercury Computer Systems to Mercury Systems in late 2012 to more accurately reflect its business focus. Since 2008 the company has sold off three unprofitable business segments that had hoped to tap the medical technology market, including biotech arm SolMap Pharmaceuticals; Visualization Sciences Group (VSG), which provided software developer toolkits for the science, engineering, manufacturing, and industrial sectors; and Visage Imaging (VI), which developed picture archival systems for the medical and life sciences markets. Mercury Systems launched a restructuring initiative in 2012, which included the elimination of a about 40 positions and the transitioning of manufacturing activities from its Huntsville, Alabama, facility to contractors. Mergers and Acquisitions The company uses acquisitions to add products, services, and technical capabilities. Looking to bolster its sensor processing product line, in 2012 it bought microwave and radio-frequency (RF) components maker Micronetics in a deal valued at around $75 million, including $3.2 million of debt. The acquisition added new microwave and RF capabilities to Mercury's integrated subsystems for the defense and intelligence industries. More than three-quarters of Micronetics' sales come from defense applications, including electronic warfare, radar, electronic countermeasures products. In early 2011 Mercury Systems paid $31 million in cash to acquire LNX Corporation, in a move to firm up its RF and signal processing capabilities related to the detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) found in combat areas. Late in the year, it bought KOR Electronics and its subsidiary Paragon Dynamics for $70 million in cash. The deal extended Mercury's ability to provide systems and software engineering services for intelligence and defense customers.

WEISS, JULIUS (ca. 1840–?). Julius Weiss, the German music professor who gave Scott Joplin, the King of Ragtime, his earliest formal music education, was born in Saxony between June 4, 1840, and June 3, 1841. Weiss was one of an inestimable number of itinerant German musicians who prepared the cultural soil in Texas for later development of symphony orchestras and opera companies. His approximate birthdate is extrapolated from the 1880 United States census and contemporary recollections.
Nothing is known conclusively about his education, but that he was a well-educated man is attested by the subjects other than music in which he tutored in Texarkana (German, astronomy, mathematics). He taught both piano and violin and had extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for opera, a fact that probably indicates some conservatory background in his training as well. No precise date can be determined when Weiss made his way to the U.S., but he was in St. Louis by the late 1870s, when Col. Robert W. Rodgers hired him to be a music teacher and live-in tutor for his six children in Texarkana, Texas. Rodgers was a successful lumbermill owner and businessman in Texarkana.
Weiss arrived in Texarkana between August 1877 and December 1878. He remained in the town until shortly after Rodgers's death in 1884. In Texarkana, Weiss befriended the young Scott Joplin and taught him piano, ear training, and harmony, and introduced him to the world of classical music, especially opera. Weiss probably helped the Joplins get the Rodgers family's old square piano when the lumberman bought a new one. According to recollections of his wife, Joplin fondly remembered his old German music teacher in later years. He even sent Weiss money after moving to New York in 1907. Weiss was surely the inspiration for Scott Joplin's quest to continue his musical education in later years and to use his ragtime style in conjunction with such larger musical genres as ballet and opera. The influence of mid-nineteenth-century German operatic style and forms is especially noticeable in Joplin's opera, Treemonisha, a work with which he was occupied in the last years of his life.
The straitened circumstances of the Rodgers family after the death of Colonel Rodgers forced Weiss to leave Texarkana. Nothing is known about his whereabouts until about 1895, when he appears in Houston as junior partner in W. C. Stansfield & Co., a store selling pianos, organs, and sheet music. By 1897 the partnership had dissolved and Weiss was listed in the city directory as simply a music teacher. His fortunes declined further by the end of the century, and in the 1900–01 city directory he is listed as being with Perkins and Buchanan, operators of gambling establishments in the city. Ironically, Weiss was probably playing piano at gambling joints, making a living as Joplin did during his formative years. Weiss disappears from the Houston city directories at this point, and no record of his death has yet been located.

stats[describe,range] - Range of a Statistical List
Calling Sequence
stats[describe, range](data)
statistical list
Important: The stats package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package Statistics instead.
The function range of the subpackage stats[describe, ...] finds the minimum and the maximum value of the observations in data.
The boundaries of the classes are used for grouped data. Missing data are ignored.
The range is a measure of dispersion of the data. For more information about such measures, refer to the standard deviation.
The range is useful in finding appropriate boundaries for tallying data (see transform[tallyinto] - note that the upper boundary of classes are exclusive for tallyinto), and for histograms (see statplots[histogram]). One disadvantage of using the range as a dispersion measure is that it is strongly dependent on the extreme values in the data.
The data must be numeric.
The command with(stats[describe],range) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
The minimum and maximum of the numbers 5, 6, 1, 9 are 1 and 9 respectively:
For grouped data, it gives the minimal and maximal edge of the classes.

{ ~ JP Take a Trip with Me } 1960-63 ' Beep Line ' Original Social Media
When Twitter got so popular I kept remembering back in the day in Chicago when I accidentally came acroos the 'beep line' when I called in to request a song for a boy I had a crush on. Odd thing, which many youngsters won't understand, but the beep line, which was originally a request line, became something strange. We had no 'call waiting' back then. The beep line 'was' our call waiting. We however did get to meet people through the beep line. Matter of fact I met a 'new' boyfriend on it. It was great because he was the first one I knew to have a battery operated record player, where we could play 45's at the beach. It was awesome and we definitely appreciated what we had then as opposed to kids being spoiled today with all these gadgets.
In doing research for this post, I came across, ironically in Huntsville, being Alabama is now my adopted state. So cool they had the beep-line here too! I got all excited
Subject:Beep Line
Niles Prestage
Class of '65
Saw this on Huntsville Revisited on Facebook. I bet I am not the only one who remembers this! Mentioned this to my granddaughter only last week, tried to explain how it worked, this is a better explanation than mine. Sort of hard for her to believe in the day of instant communication!
Dick Biondi, 77, may have actually launched a social networking platform — accidently — during his extraordinarily popular 1960-63 stint on WLS-AM. Back then, the coolest thing that could happen to teens was getting Biondi to mention their name, school or club on his nightly show. If you weren't around Chicago in those days, it's hard to convey just how big Biondi was. His rating was better than a 50 percent share, meaning more than half of all Chicago-area radios in use were tuned to his show between 9 p.m. and midnight. To put that in perspective, a radio personality today who could command a 10 percent share would be No. 1 by a long shot, and could write his or her own multimillion dollar contract.
Btw Dick Biondi is still around! Dick Biondi, known as the "Wild I-tralian," "Big Mouth," and "The Screamer," is back on the air at Chicago's 94.7 FM, Chicago's Classic Hits, weeknights from 8p to Midnight. Join him on Facebook
In those days, word spread that Biondi arrived at WLS an hour or so before his show, and if you called the main number of the station and asked for him, he'd speak to you personally — if you could wait on hold for about a half-hour. Of course, that's if you were lucky enough to get through in the first place. Most nights all you'd get if you dialed "STATE 2-2002″ between 7:30 and 9 p.m. was a busy signal. Yes kidlings, we did not have but ONE line in the day. And this is where and when the fun came in
Here is the best explanation I found from the Chicago Tribune:
So many kids were simultaneously calling to talk to Biondi to request some sort of dedication — a "shout-out" — that a strange phenomenon occurred. The circuits overloaded, and between busy signal beeps other callers could be heard talking. The voices were on top of one another and audible only between the beeps, but occasionally you could communicate with another caller waiting to talk to Biondi. Before long, kids discovered this was a great way to talk to the opposite sex, and some who weren't as innocent as I was made arrangements to meet callers in person.
It wasn't easy having a conversation when a loud beep and hundreds of other voices were interrupting you every few seconds, but "the beep line," as it came to be known (in Chicago and in other cities around the county where similar networking was taking place), became a red-hot, although short-lived, phenomenon.
My heart was broken when it stopped but I did become a master of the 'Beep Line' I am proud to say. It was sad because all good things from the 60s started closing and it was the very best time to be a teenager! I lost Riverview amusement park in 1967. Do you know how cool it was to walk there, in the heart of the city, a mere mile or so from me. But nooo they had to put Devry there and the Central CPD Headquarters, taking yet another social media away.
Then they took away Skips Drive Thru in Maywood, Il. OUR 'American Graffitti! Where kids from the city, suburbs and even kids from Wisconsin and Indiana would come. Soon to follow were the sock-hops, concert venues and my beloved Holiday Ballroom, where I met and danced to the Buckinghams. (See 1969) I even won the 'Battle of the Bands' one Friday Night. Cute, I had no band, lol.
Looking back on it, it's hard to imagine that the discovery of the beep line was so exciting to a teen. But in those times, we were still communicating by writing letters, using walkie-talkies and reading the personal ads in newspapers.
Silly? Sure, but no more so than telling strangers what you're doing in 140 characters or fewer. Bob Sirott is a Tribune special contributor and a former WGN radio host
People don't get why so many of us are nostalgic and pine for the 60s. I'm here to tell you, what a time to be a teenager. What a time to Dance, Dance, Dance! What a time for innocence and Fun, Fun, Fun. and I know you are all dying to know, I never did get through to Dick Biondi. ~ JP

We too had the "Beep Line" here in the Twin Cities, MN, back in the 1960's and 1970's. We didn't call it Beep Line though; we called it Jam Line. Minnesota Public Radio recently did a historical piece on the Jam Line complete with old audio recordings of the thing. You can access it here:

Breast Cancer Can Be Detected Through Ultrasound Technology
In the United States, the death rates of those with breast cancer are higher than any other cancer besides lung cancer. In 2009, an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed among women, and approximately 40,170 women were expected to die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. But breast cancer does not only affect women; although rare, breast cancer can affect men as well. According to the National Cancer Institute, about 2,000 men in the United States learn they have breast cancer each year.
Women can significantly improve their chances of surviving breast cancer by undergoing screening exams, such as mammograms, biopsies, MRIs, and sonograms. These types of screenings help to doctors find cancer before their patients begin to experience symptoms. Regular screenings improve breast cancer survival rates, as cancers found during these exams are more likely to still be small and less likely to have spread to other areas of the body.
Mammograms are generally the most effective screening technique currently available. They are used for routine screening because they can detect early signs of cancer, such as microcalcification that cannot be felt. But when it comes to masses that can be felt, sonograms can provide an advantage. A sonogram is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to exam areas of the body that may need to be looked at more closely. Ultrasound technology helps in the detection of breast cancer because it allows physicians to determine whether or not a mass is a solid tumor or fluid-filled cysts.
Sonograms are conducted by an ultrasound technician who will begin the procedure by covering the area with lubricating jelly, which improves conduction of the sound waves. The technician will then use a hand-held device, known as a transducer, to direct the sound waves through the skin and toward certain areas of breast tissues in question. The sound waves are then reflected back from the tissues and a two-dimensional computer image of the breast is created from the patterns formed by the sound waves. This type of screening can help detect breast cancer by providing a more detailed picture of suspicious masses that are hard to evaluate in a mammogram. As a diagnostic procedure, it can even be used in needle biopsies to accurately remove tissue or fluid in order to further examine using a microscope.

LYON COUNTY, Ky. (7/16/13) – On Monday, July 15, at approximately 5:47 AM, Kentucky State Police (KSP) officials responded to a report of an accident involving a car and a tractor trailer truck on I69 at Mile Marker 74.
A short investigation revealed that a tractor trailer operated by Melvin Hauschild of Louisville KY was attempting to make an illegal U-turn at the 74 mile marker on Interstate 69. Hauschild was traveling in the left lane and swerved over into the right lane to try and make a swift turn through the median when a passenger car operated by Courtney Campbell of Louisville was unable to stop. Campbell attempted to brake but was unable to come to a stop and slid underneath the trailer and became lodged in front of the trailer tires.
Eddyville Fire was able to remove Campbell and she was transported to Lourdes Hospital for injuries sustained in accident. Hauschild was not injured, and after the investigation and inspection of the semi, he was cited into court for Reckless Driving and making an illegal U-turn on a limit access highway.

Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) talked about the differences between congressional Democratic and Republican positions on Medicare spending. Regarding Medicare and Social Security spending, he said that spending per person had not increased, but rather an increasingly higher percentage of the population was becoming eligible for benefits. He said Republicans should "admit that it's not a spending problem. It's a revenue problem." He also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.

Photo gallery for Nail Art Pens are FUN!
Nail Art Pens from CinaPro Nail Creations are not only fun to play with but can prolong your manicure.
Often the gals at Nailpro will throw on some nail paint to "touch up" a stale mani. These pens are perfect and with Halloween just around the corner, you'll want to stock up on them. (Okay, I know but Halloween is my favorite holiday!)
I'm showing two different times when I used the black nail art pen from CinaPro to extend a mani. It's a super easy and quick way to do a French and purse sized for special occasions when the nails need to look their best!

How to export my iPhone contacts to iPad 2
Does anyone know of a way to export all my contacts from my iPhone straight into my iPad 2 without having to re-type all of them in?
Thanks a lot.

Do that... then do it with your iPad. Your contacts will all be there. Magical.
Now... to do even better... sync your computer, to Google-Gmail if you have that, then set your iDevices to sync to Google too so a change on one gets changed on all. Even more magical.Keith - iMore Moderator - The Mobile Nations/iMore Forum Rules

Another vote for setting up Gmail as an exchange account. I make changes to my Gmail calendar and contacts and both my iPhone and iPad get automatically updated. Works in reverse if I make a change on either device, the other device and my Gmail applications automatically get updated.

Surely iCloud is the best way to do this. I used iCloud on my iphone 4, and then I went and bought a new iPad as well. When I set my iPad up. I turned iCloud on and then all the contacts where there straight away. Also if you update a contact on one, it automatically updates the other accordingly.
You can use gmail or hotmail. But I have just transfered from hotmail to iCloud for this very reason because iCloud is the best for instant syncing of everything between 1 or more iDevices. It will do the same for you mail, bookmarks, notes, reminders, photo's (take a photo on one and it appears on the other) and also documents & data.
iCloud is the way forward in my opinion. I've used hotmail for 10 years and when I saw what icloud can do for you, I switched.
Oh and not forgetting that you can go on a PC or MAC anyway and log into iCloud via a web browser (like gmail or hotmail) and all you up to date contacts, mail, notes & reminders will be there. They all update on every device in a matter of seconds.

And honestly, I'm not there yet for email (don't need to be) and I don't love the iCloud.com interface for the calendar, but I was willing to sacrifice a UI preference for convenience of getting my wife to use the calendar program and have everything on both of my devices without having to do much.

hello. i would like to transfer some 40 contacts from my husband's iPhone to my iPad. neither of us uses iCloud but we could if we had to. The problem is that it is not contact sync what we are after but transfer of certain contacts only since he has his contact list different and separate from mine on the iPad.
Could this be achieved easily?

Enable iCloud Contact sync on your husband's iPhone, let him log in to his iCloud account from his PC, select the contacts you want to transfer, click on the cog-wheel below and select Export to vCard This will export the selected contacts from his iPhone to your computer in the form of vCard (vcf).
Now set up a new iCloud account only for your and your iPad and enable iCloud Contact sync on your device. After a while you will see all your iPad contacts load to your iCloud account. Log in to your iCloud account, go to Contacts, click on the cogwheel and select "Import Contacts". Browse to the place where you saved the vCard contact entries on your PC and click Open. The contacts should be pushed to your iPad.
Alternatively use a third party tool to manually export selected contacts from your husband's iPhone to your PC:
Then use the same tool to import the contact entries from your PC to your iPad.

Re: How to export my iPhone contacts to iPad 2
For all you iCloud users, I have a question: how do you handle a situation where you're not using one of your iDevices and want to send an email (from your parent's computer, say). Is there an webmail interface? Or is the assumption that we'll always have at least one of our devices with us?

Location: The Orioles will spend their fourth consecutive spring training in Sarasota, Florida. This will mark their third season at the renovated Ed Smith Stadium. Ed Smith stadium opened in 1989 and has a capacity of 8,500.

The Orioles will play their first Grapefruit League (the name of the Orioles spring training league) game on February 23rd against the Twins. In total the team will play 35 (19 home, 16 away) games from February 23rd to March 30th.
Television: The Orioles will have seven games broadcast live from Ed Smith Stadium in 2013. MASN will be responsible for six of those games: February 25 vs. New York, March 7 vs. Toronto, March 14 vs. Tampa Bay, March 17 vs. Minnesota, March 23 vs. Philadelphia and March 27 vs. New York. The seventh game will be aired on ESPN and will be when the Orioles take on the Red Sox on March 25 at 1:05 p.m.

TROY, Ala. — The top-seeded Western Kentucky University softball team (39-14) cruised past eighth-seeded ULM (19-34) 9-1 in the Lady Toppers' first game of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Wednesday afternoon at the Troy Softball Complex.
SBC Pitcher of the Year Emily Rousseau (23-5) gave up just two hits to the Warhawks, as ULM's lone run went unearned against the pitcher. The junior walked one while striking out five.
Junior Olivia Watkins, named a First-Team All-Conference selection, went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with three singles and a triple while adding three runs. Sophomore Preslie Cruce along with seniors Ciara Garcia and Katrina Metoyer notched two hits each. As a team, WKU totaled 13 hits against two ULM pitchers, taking seven off of starting pitcher Haylie Wilson (8-17).
ULM took a 1-0 advantage in the top second after Janel Salanoa hit a double to the center field wall to open the inning. An error moved Salanoa to third before Faith Bohack posted the RBI.
Using four hits and a Warhawk error, WKU responded in the bottom frame to take a 5-1 advantage. Junior Kelsie Mattox opened the inning with a walk before freshman Bethany Oglesby came in to pinch run. After a sacrifice bunt, senior Mallorie Sulaski put down a RBI double to add the first run. With two outs on the board, senior Karavin Dew and Cruce hit back-to-back RBI singles followed by two more runs added from the ULM miscue.
Cruce boosted the lead in the fourth inning after a two-out solo home run gave WKU a 6-1 lead. The offense continued for the Lady Toppers, as after a Watkins single up the middle, Garica elevated the lead to 7-1 with a RBI double to left field.
The same trio of Lady Toppers closed out the game in the sixth inning with Cruce leading things off with her 16th hit by pitch this season. Watkins then powered out a triple to left field to bring in Cruce before adding the game-ending run on a Garcia single.
The Sun Belt Conference Tournament continues on Thursday, as WKU will face fourth-seeded North Texas at 3 p.m after the Mean Green defeated Florida Atlantic in extra innings in the day's first game.

From a Call To Action liturgy… who can forget this?
Remember their music?
From Occupy Wall Street…
Coincidence? I think not!
And there's this.
Is that Obama doing the Hitler salute/Tennis Court oath??
Does that mean we are now a Puppet State?
Is this what the great progressive visionaries of the 60s and 70s do for arts and crafts time in their senior citizen homes?
If these weren't so pathetic, they would be the stuff of nightmares!
Dr. K-spot on! I like your style!
Whenever "Giant Puppets" were referenced in posts herein, I thought it was just a kind of inside joke. These are so stupid. How could anyone be taken in by such clap trap? I take it all but the one seen at the OWS rally have been ground to dust? Hope so.
No, not only it is not a coincidence, I'll go out on a limb and suggest that puppeteers of this kind wouldn't even bother pretending it is a coincidence. It's from Bread & Puppet theater: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_Puppet_Theater
Oh, come on. OWS isn't about civil rights or big corporations. It's about corn syrup! And BHT! And dye Red 40! At least, according to OWS people who called into "The Dave Ramsey Show" a few weeks back…there is absolutely no unity there at all.
I saw the OWS puppets and had the same thought.
I'd love to have been there when the CTA event planners were pitching these creepy puppets.
So much has di-SIN-tegrated over the past 40 or so years that these images no longer have shock value. That is the saddest of all. Remember when the Moto Proprio was first published and promulgated? Every media agency had pictures of Mass being said Ad Orientem, Beautiful Vestments, Priests with Deacon and SubDeacon, and Magnificent and Solemn Altars and Sanctuaries and that is what shocked people. Truly the Church has been turned upside down and we are standing on the ceiling, no longer recognizing the floor!
Birds of a feather flock together … I wish I didn't see kids in that first picture.
Why don't the darks of the eyeballs in these things touch both lids? They look ill, as well as ugly.

Good service department and good sales
I have been shopping here for years and they treat me right. The sales department is good and honest. I get my vehicles service here on occasion and they do a good job. Prices are competitive with others in the area.

Sangster motors is a great place to buy a car. The staff is always so helpful and willing to bargain and give you a deal any chance they can. They definatly guarantee what they sell. It is a family owned business which makes it a much freindlier environment. Especially for a first time buyer it is a great place to go!

Michael travels to the land of Can-a-DA on a business trip and nearly hooks up with an exotic Canadian concierge, while Oscar and Andy bond over drinks at the bar. Back in Scranton, some Jim/Pam trouble starts to brew once Pam realizes she's failed one of her classes, and Ryan tries to win back Kelly.
A Foreign Land
Accompanied by three huge suitcases ("Two for souvenirs," Michael explains), the three amigos, composed of Michael, Andy and Oscar, jet off to Canada to close a business deal, with Michael positively bubbling with excitement over going "overseas" to this new exotic land, helpfully giving the camera little tidbits of advice about life on the other side of the border, including "geishas", who take care of and pleasure you. He even meets someone he thinks is a geisha, but is actually just a concierge. Later on that night at the bar, one thing leads to another and he almost succeeds in getting her in the sack before she shoos him away from her room. The next day, as he's about to board the plane, he yells at David Wallace over the phone about how terrible his trip was, taking out his anger on him for taking Holly away from him.
Beer Me Some Drinks
Meanwhile, while Michael is hitting it off nicely with the concierge, it's up to Andy to find Oscar some good man-lovin' somewhere in the bar, but fate is not with him, as Andy, carrying his two long island iced teas, fails to woo two potential hook-ups. Nowhere for the drinks to go but into the two business-men's stomachs, Oscar and Andy get fairly drunk, so drunk in fact that Oscar gets Andy to call Angela to ask her what's wrong with her and why she won't have sex with him. While he's on the phone, though, another voice is heard in the background, clearly Dwight, but Andy, clueless as ever, doesn't even notice. The next morning he wakes up, perfectly cheerful, until Oscar informs him that the previous night wasn't a dream, which causes him to freak out and subsequently call Angela. We learn that instead of sex, Angela will let Andy kiss her on the forehead.
Love is in the Air
Of course, what would an Office episode be without some focus on the two lovebirds? Jim and Pam continue to have more issues with their long distance relationship. Pam finds out that she's failed a class and has to take it again, which means she'll be stuck in New York for even longer. Jim, ever faithful, supports her decision and it looks like we're off to another few months with these two chattering on the phone back and forth – but wait! Near the end of the episode, as Jim walks out on the office building, he sees Pam waiting for him in the parking lot and the two share a quiet reunion before Dwight interrupts them and nods at Pam. "Oh, you're back," he deadpans.
Happily Ever After
While all this is going on, there's a little tryst developing in Kelly's back corner as Ryan gets ready to move back into the desk next to Kelly once Pam has returned from New York. After doing several "manly" push-ups in an attempt to impress her, he succeeds, and a torrid love affair unfolds between the two, despite Kelly still supposedly going out with Darrell. Ryan, though, ends up convincing Kelly to text message breakup, and it's easy to tell why he's doing it – he wants to piss off the lumbering warehouse manager. But then Kelly receives a text message back nearly right away, and Darrell says, "It's cool." Kelly is, of course, exuberant, while Ryan looks frightened. We get a shot of Darrell walking off to his car with a spring in his step, and the episode ends with Ryan and Kelly talking to the camera, Ryan clenching his teeth, Kelly bubbling with joy over their fairy tale ending. Yup, love surely is grand.
There's a lot to like in this episode – Michael's arrogant naivete in relation to cultures different from his own is reliably hilarious. It's also kind of fun to have a night out with the guys, and Oscar and Andy actually end up working together as a comic duo – while at first I thought it an odd choice by the writers to include Oscar on the trip, it works; the two are really funny together, and it's almost sweet how Oscar kind of helps Andy with his relationship problems with Angela – it helps to push that plot point a bit further in the series as a whole, so we won't have much more hemming and hawing on the Dwight/Andy conflict. As for Jim and Pam, it was wise of the writers to finally bring Pam back to Scranton – the office just hasn't been the same without her, and more importantly, they're not going to turn it into a Ross-Rachel dynamic that could easily kill the show with years of pointless back and forth. Pam and Jim's relationship actually feels real – yeah, they experience problems, but they're never more than bumps or potholes in the road, something any real couple would experience. So far this season The Office has remained pretty solid – let's hope it continues next week, too.

1964: Venturi beats heat to win US Open
US PGA Tour | 2011 US Open | General | 14 Jun 2011
With the US Open returning to Congressional this year to host the national championship, Ken Venturi's name will come up likely from time to time throughout the week. Venturi, who some might know best as the analyst for many years on CBS, won the US Open at Congressional in 1964. His story is one that few know much of leading up the fateful day he battled the scorching heat over 36 holes (it was the format back in the day) to win the national championship. Today, stars are born somewhat over night with the advent of hundreds of cable channels, the Internet and now social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook. However, Venturi's battles started long before he teed it up at Congressional.
"I saw 'The King's Speech,' twice, and it's the reason that I started caddying when I was about nine," said Venturi. "When I was 13 years old my teacher told my mother, I'm sorry, Mrs. Venturi, but your son will never be able to speak. He's an incurable stammerer," he explained. "My mother asked me what I planned to do. I said I'm taking up the loneliest sport I know, and picked up a set of hickory shafts across the street from a man and went to Harding Park and played my first round of golf." Today, Venturi is a part of the Stuttering Foundation.
"When I was practicing, it was always the U.S. Open. And I always dreamt and always thought that I would win the U.S. Open. But I never dreamt I'd be able to speak or do television for 35 years," he said.
Venturi experienced more adversity than his speech impediment prior to his US Open win. "I had gone through a bad accident, I was a passenger in a car in Cleveland in '61 and was hit from the side," he explained. "I was thrown almost out of the driver's door."
Venturi said the accident lead to tough times for him. "I went through a big slump," said Venturi. "For five years I was favored or co-favored in every tournament I played, and then to go down. And I never gave excuses. My father always taught me that. Excuses are the crutches for the untalented. And I never made excuses at how I was playing (but) I was broken."
Life wasn't exactly going according to plan and then something happened. "I got an invite to Westchester, which is two weeks before The Open, by Bill Jennings, who owned the New York Rangers," said Venturi. "If I hadn't gone there, I'd have gone back in the automobile business with Eddie Lowry selling cars," he remarked.
"And after the first round, Dr. Everett told me the story, I was laying next to my locker, and he says, 'I suggest that you don't go out. It could be fatal.' And he said, I looked up at him and I said, 'well, it's better than the way I've been living.' I got off the floor and I do not remember walking to the first tee. I don't remember the front nine until I started coming into it. I got on the scale when I arrived at the course. I weighed 172 pounds, exactly what I weigh today. And when I got dressed and got ready to leave, I got on the scale and I weighed 164 pounds. I had lost eight pounds that day. I got through it, and I still get chills when I think about it. But it was a line I gave Dr. Everett, I had nowhere to go, better than the way I've been living."
The excruciating heat didn't help the matter for Venturi. "I had 18 salt tablets. You know what they said? That could kill you. Really. No one knew that I did it. But that's what it was. Coming from San Francisco, what did I know about the heat?
"Dr. Everett told me to go back home and get my business in order. He said, you may lose these three fingers in your right hand because of gangrene. And I was looking for something to do. My whole world had turned upside down."
Venturi's story is one of overcoming adversity on more than one occasion, which in part is what the US Open often depicts over 72 holes. The player who can do that has the best chance of being the last one left standing, something Venturi knows a thing or two about.

(Reuters) - Israeli aircraft attacked targets throughout the Gaza Strip on Thursday night, unleashing dozens of strikes in swift succession according to Reuters witnesses.
The aerial bombardment set off earth-shaking thuds and fireballs in the dark sky and were met with screeches of Palestinian rocket fire launched from the outskirts of Gaza City towards southern Israel.
The airstrikes marked an escalation of two days of reciprocal attacks between the Palestinian militant Hamas group ensconced in the coastal enclave and the Israeli military, which killed a top Islamist leader on Wednesday.
Israel's military said that in the space of an hour it had targeted approximately 70 underground launching sites for medium-range rockets.
"The sites that have been targeted were positively identified by precise intelligence collected over the course of months." it said in a statement.
Residents said the military assault also destroyed an electricity generator that fed the house of Hamas's prime minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh. It was unclear whether he was at home at the time.
Israeli aircraft also bombed a police station in central Gaza and tunnels on Gaza's border with Egypt through which basic civilian goods and arms destined for militant groups pass into the Strip, which is under a tight blockade by Israel and Egypt.
Hours earlier, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, another armed party in Gaza, launched two missiles against Tel Aviv -- the first time Israel's commercial capital has come under such attack since the 1991 Gulf War. No injuries or damage was reported.
