In the movie Tamara is beautiful, studious, correct, a novitiate of a Greek influenced monastery. A master of martial arts, she has been trained to be the Queen's servant, bodyguard and best friend. She and many other female bodyguards to the queen have been in hiding most of their lives because of the curse of Acheron, which would take the queen's life to bring almost immortal power to its king. When Khalar Singh, a powerful warlord with ambitions to become the king of Acheron, storms the monastery and captures all of the novitiates, she is separated from Ilira, the one she must protect. With all of her strength and will, Tamara is determined to find and rescue her. She finds herself in league with Conan because of a mutual need to find Khalar Singh. She is not in the least intimidated by Conan's size or grim demeanor and their alliance eventually blossoms into something that surprises them both...
As you know, Jason Momoa has been cast as Conan, while Marcus Nispel will be the director. We've seen sexy Rachel Nichols last year as seductive Scarlett in "G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra", in "Star Trek" as Gaila, and she also acted in "Alias".

She has a beautiful body and in real life she is a smarty. (I admire intelligent pretty ladies verses "the Jessicas and Brittanys".)ReplyDelete
I suppose she will need some martial arts lessons.
She looks like Red Sonja to me. Even though she won't play that character.ReplyDelete
I'm waiting for a main villain now. Wonder who will play him?
she is beautiful, but she already knows how to fight, she has demonstrated that in G.I.JOE last year where she basically stole the show from overrated Sienna Miller.ReplyDelete
They've already found the villain, but I forgot what's his name - one of those actors that you see often in supporting roles but never know his name :)
It's great news that the films' casting is speeding up and Nichols is absolutely one hottest addition for this film. Can't wait to watch her in that barbarian costume ;PReplyDelete
because, Jaccsy, these pics aren't revealing enough for you? :))))) I'm joking, it will be amazing watching her in the costume, and smooching with Jason Momoa :)ReplyDelete
Rachel Nichols was the only reason to watch GI Joe. She is smoking :)ReplyDelete
There we go! Equal opportunity. We get some eye candy as well.ReplyDelete
Oh, great news! I liked GI Joe a lot and not only because of Rachel but she certainly helped. :) She is hot, she can fight and act, perfect for the role. Now this movie is on my Must Watch list too.ReplyDelete
Though I must say Jessica Lucas would've been a fine choice too. Loved her and her "talents" in Life As We Know It. :D
I must admit I don't know who Jessica is, but judging from her pics I just saw at GOOGLE, I prefer Rachel much more:)ReplyDelete

Men's Hockey Falls 3-2 to Clarkson in Decisive Game 3 of ECAC Series
Box Score
POTSDAM, N.Y. (3/9/14) - The Princeton men's hockey team lost 3-2 in the decisive Game 3 of the ECAC First-Round series at Clarkson on Sunday, March 9 at Cheel Arena.
Clarkson took a 2-1 lead in the first period and the teams traded goals in the second. The Golden Knights went 2 for 5 on the power play while Princeton was 1 for 2.
The Golden Knights converted on their first power-play opportunity of the game at 2:13. Joe Zarbo circled across the zone and fired a shot into traffic from the top of the right circle. Jarrett Burton was able to get his stick on it and nudged it past a screened Colton Phinney. Aaron Kesselman tried to get a stick on it to keep it over the line but the lamp was already lit.
Sophomore Jonathan Liau knotted the game at 1-1 five minutes later. Freshman Ben Foster collected the puck after a dustup in the Tigers' zone. He pushed it ahead along the right boards and had junior Tucker Brockett ahead. Foster sent the puck into the middle and Brockett gave it an extra tap over to the left for Liau. Liau whipped a backhander over the glove shoulder of Steve Perry.
Clarkson regained the lead at 12:29 with a 4x4 goal. Paul Geiger delivered a near perfect pass to Allan McPherson. Phinney anticipating the shot from Geiger hugged the left pipe, and McPherson had an open net on the right side and was able to put it away.
Sophomore Kyle Rankin scored his second goal of the series to tie it up 2-2 at 10:00 with a power-play goal. Liau factored in on goal once again, along with sophomore Mike Ambrosia. Ambrosia sent the puck along to blue line to Rankin at the top of the point, and he one-timed the puck blocker side on Perry.
Less than three minutes later the Golden Knights jumped back on top with their own power-play goal. DiNallo caught a Princeton breakout, set the puck down and played it ahead to Will Frederick who tallied the goal.
The teams shared scoring opportunities in the third, but still down a goal with 1:12 to play, Princeton pulled Phinney. Princeton called a timeout with 29.1 seconds left as a faceoff would be to Perry's right. The Tigers continued to battle with the extra skater but could not get the tying goal.
Phinney finished the game with 32 saves, while Perry stopped 21 shots.
The Knights advance to face No. 4 seed Cornell in the next round.
Princeton ends its season 6-26.

Just as an FYI, I managed to get the complete Lejos stack including the Eclipse plugin working under a "modern" Linux software stack including the following:
Ubuntu 13.10
Oracle JDK 1.7.40, 64 bit version
Eclipse 4.3.1 Kepler
Lejos 3.0 (CVS version - modified)
Eclipse Plugin 1.2.0 (CVS version - also modified)
I had to fix (patch) several problems with the Eclipse plug-in, and the Lejos 3.0 software, but everything seems to work well now. If anyone is interested, I can make my patched version available for download. I haven't tested under Windows or OS X, but it's quite possible that these fixes would work for those platforms as well.

AHL Game Night: 11/19/10 Admirals at PenguinsSubmitted by pete on November 19, 2010 - 22:32
Norfolk makes a big time statement.
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 1 goal on 28 shots for the win.
First Period
WBS Wallace, (7) (Sterling, Hutchinson), 5:39 (PP)
NOR Durno, (5) (Fornataro), 11:43
Second Period
NOR Jones, (6) (Vernace, Berry), 0:46
NOR Jones, (7) (Quick, Milam), 12:27
Third Period
NOR Berry, (3) (Jones, Gudas), 19:19 (EN)
Blair Jones, Desjardins, and Chris Durno were the game's three stars.
Blair Jones' stat line for the season is becoming borderline ridiculous. The fourth year pro now has 7-9-16 in 12 games with a +7 rating. It's been a very different Blair Jones this season. Last year, after being sent down, his production went in the toilet, just as it did in past seasons. But Jones seems to be working even harder after being sent down this time.
Kevin Quick now has 7 assists in his first 14 games this season and a +7 rating. His AHL career high in points was 9 points in 49 games in 2008-2009. I'm legitimately interested in seeing if Quick continues to improve and starts to knock on the door for an NHL cup of coffee in the second half of this season, because I really believe he's a perfect fit, stylistically, for what Guy Boucher is trying to do in Tampa Bay. Radko Gudas is another guy who, after my trip to Norfolk, I think could really fit what Boucher is doing a year or two down the road. He got his fourth assist tonight in this, his rookie campaign and he's a really nice +8. The guy was a big plus player in junior too, you'll recall, with a +45 in Everett last year.
There's just so many players down in Norfolk legitimately knocking on the door for the NHL, and another wave of guys like Quick and Gudas potentially coming in behind them. It's taken over four seasons, between that last year in Springfield when the 2005 draftees like Jones came in and the three subsequent years in Norfolk, to get to this point, but the future is finally here, and it's exciting times.

AHL Game Night: 10/30/10 Pirates at AdmiralsSubmitted by pete on October 30, 2010 - 21:30
Norfolk's weekend has the sour taste of a two point weekend that should have been a four point weekend.
Dustin Tokarski allowed 7 goals on 29 shots for the overtime loss. Rebound control was the culprit. With the exception of the last goal, he was making the first stop and his positioning wasn't bad. But, he was kicking rebounds up the slot and the Admirals defense was not clearing them out. I thought he played better than Desjardins did last night, but neither was acceptable, obviously.
First Period
POR Mancari, (7) (Byron), 3:27
NOR Szczechura, (5) (Giliati, Mihalik), 5:36
NOR Roy, (2) (Barberio, Szczechura), 13:27
Second Period
POR Whitmore, (4) (Turnbull), 2:01
NOR Simek, (3) (Pouliot, Harju), 6:30
NOR Fornataro, (3) (Szczechura, Wright), 13:47
Third Period
POR Whitmore, (5) (Crawford, Turnbull), 9:36
NOR Wright, (3) (Szczechura, Fornataro), 10:03 (PP)
POR Stuart, (3) (Brennan, Biega), 10:29
NOR Harju, (5) (Simek, Pouliot), 11:28 (PP)
POR Turnbull, (1) (Roloff, Whitmore), 12:59
POR Schiestel, (2) (Roloff, Turnbull), 14:54
POR Gragnani, (3) (Mancari, Biega), 1:05
Paul Szczechura was the game's second star. Juraj Simek was, in my opinion, the best Admiral tonight. He showed excellent hand-eye coordination batting a puck out of air for his goal, and that line he has with Pouliot and Harju in one of the best in the league right now.
Through two periods, the defense was much improved tonight. I don't know if that's a function of Mike Flanagan being back to run the defense after Steve Thomas did it last night, but they were better at taking care of details within five feet of their own blueline, with the exception of Portland's first goal. The last period was just the intersection of a team letting its foot off the gas once Harju scored on a semi-soft goal to make it 6-4 and some bad luck with rebounds going right onto Pirates' sticks. The biggest play of the game was the 2-on-1 goal Portland scored to make it 6-5, where Michael Vernace got completely lost. I'm not surprised he was -3 tonight. He's struggling with his positioning and the way he surrenders the blueline on the rush, they might need to start calling him Versailles.
My revalation of the night was Stefano Giliati, who is a speedy little sparkplug who was either generating scoring chances or popping people all night long. He got his first point as an Admiral tonight, and I was impressed. I'm surprised they don't play him more.
I liked the way rookies Mark Barberio and Radko Gudas played. Barberio ended up a team high +2 along with Mihalik, and although his skating is mediocre, he's outstanding at reading the play in the offensive end. He's a very crafty player. He has a ways to go, but I enjoyed what I saw. Gudas appeared in both games this weekend, and he was quiet for most of five periods of hockey, but he was very visible in the third period tonight. He and Wishart are the only two Admirals who routinely step up at their blueline and give a pop, but what surprised me about Radko was how he carried the puck offensively a couple of times. The skill set is there, and it's real. Like Barberio, he's a couple of years off, but there's something to work with there, and he and Mihalik make a decent little pairing. The reunification of Czechoslovakia going on with that pairing.
It makes me puke that a goaltender as bad as Leggio managed to backdoor his way into two wins this weekend. That's annoying.
I'll be leaving Norfolk tomorrow morning, but I just wanted to close by encouraging Lightning fans to make the trip if you're looking for a weekend trip. This is an entertaining team, with the highest scoring offense in the league, and this is a good town. I enjoy coming to Norfolk because it reminds me a lot of Tampa, and I think you'll feel the same way to if you come up here.

Bolts Send 12 Prospects to Norfolk; 21 Total PlayersSubmitted by timothy on September 26, 2010 - 18:30
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have trimmed their roster by 21 players today, Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced. The team now has 28 players in camp. All 21 players will report to the Norfolk Admirals training camp, which begins on Tuesday.
The prospects that were reassigned to Norfolk include forwards Mitch Fadden, Stefano Giliati, Alex Hutchings, Juraj Simek, and the barely graduated James Wright and Paul Szczechura; defensemen Mark Barberio, Radko Gudas, Scott Jackson, Vladimir Mihalik, Kevin Quick, and Ty Wishart; and goaltenders Jaroslav Janus and Dustin Tokarski.
Overage prospects cut from the Lightning training camp include forwards Mike Angelidis, Alex Berry, Mitch Fritz, Blair Jones, and Niklas Persson.
Forwards Matt Fornataro and Tim Marks, who were invited to the Tampa camp as try-outs, have AHL contracts with the Admirals and will join the Lightning organizational players for the opening of the Norfolk training camp on Tuesday.
Angelidis, Fritz, Jones, Mihalik, Simek, and Szczechura must all clear waivers before their reassignment to Norfolk is complete.

NHL Preseason Game Night: 9/23/10 Lightning at OilersSubmitted by pete on September 23, 2010 - 22:59
Yeah, we at BoltProspects always liked Magnus Paajarvi in his draft year.
Dan Ellis allowed 5 goals on 21 shots for the loss. Ugly stat line.
First Period
TB 4:33, Jones 1 (Purcell, Persson)
EDM 15:09, Paajarvi 1 (Belle, Plante)
EDM 18:34, Cogliano 1 (PP) (Foster, Paajarvi)
Second Period
EDM 6:50, Paajarvi 2 (PP) (Penner, Plante)
Third Period
EDM 7:57, Hall 1 (PP) (unassisted)
EDM 9:52, Paajarvi 3 (SH) (Foster)
TB 17:19, Ashton 1 (PP) (Wright, Clark)
Not an entirely surprising outcome, I suppose, considering Edmonton had most of its regular skaters going against the Lightning's lower liners, AHLers, and prospects. The only thing really concerning is to allow 5 goals on 21 shots in that scenario. Still, I wouldn't read much into tonight unless they get blown out in Calgary against the Fighting Feasters on Saturday with most of the regulars in.
Carter Ashton had 1 goal and was +1 with 1 shot and a slashing minor in 13:26. I'm of the opinion it would behoove the Lightning to, at the very least, use the 9 game tryout on Ashton. If he can stick on the team and develop over the course of the year, he could give the Lightning a lot of roster flexibility in February.
Brett Connolly was even with 1 shot in 12:13. I think he'll get a contract and then be ushered away to Prince George fairly soon.
Radko Gudas was even with 1 shot in 13:51. I doubt he makes it past the first round of cuts. He needs to get stronger and he needs some seasoning in Norfolk.
Johan Harju was -1 with 1 shot in 13:20. He got more ice time than the 9:30 Linus Omark got for the Oilers. I expect him to be on the bubble another week.
Blair Jones was -1 in 12:53. He could not duplicate what he did against the Hawks, which is the story of Blair's pro career. Probably on the bubble another week.
Vladimir Mihalik was -1 with 1 shot and a hooking minor in 16:43. He might survive the first round of cuts, but I doubt he survives the second.
Niklas Persson had 1 assist and was +1 with 2 shots in 16:09. Niklas seems to be on track to make the team. In fact, he might be the first of the bubble guys to move into the safe column.
Dana Tyrell was even with 2 shots in 14:02. He'll stay on the bubble another week, I think.
Michael Vernace was -1 with 1 shot in 22:02. He got a ton of ice time given Boucher's familiarity with him, but he was awful, by all accounts.

Connolly Scores Twice in Traverse City OpenerSubmitted by timothy on September 11, 2010 - 21:29
The Lightning's 2010 1st round pick Brett Connolly tallied a first period and a third period goal in a 4-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the opening game of the 2010 Traverse City prospects tournament Saturday night. Connolly's first period tally was assisted by 2009 1st round pick Carter Ashton, as he and Connolly combined for 10 of Tampa's 26 shots on goal. James Wright and Mark Barberio assisted on Connolly's 3rd period marker with Wright sporting a team high +2 along with 3 shots of his own. 2010 3rd rounder Brock Beukeboom was the only other Lightning plus player in the game.
Dustin Tokarski stopped 31 of 34 shots in the loss. Radko Gudas had a huge hit in the 3rd period, while Teigan Zahn dropped the gloves for a 1st period bout against Cody Beach. Of the free agent invitees, forward Andrew Agozzino rang up 3 shots on goal.

Shoots: Right
Height: 6.00
Weight: 189 lbs
Born: 6/5/1990, Prague, Czech Republic
Last Team: Everett (WHL)

Everett (WHL), 65 GP, 7-30-37, +45, 151 PIM
Everett (WHL Playoffs), 3 GP, 0-2-2, E, 4 PIM
Scouting Comments:
"Ultra competitive prick to play against." -Red Line Report
An older prospect who turned 20 in June, Gudas has earned a reputation as one of the biggest hitters in this draft class. He competes hard, and despite his small frame he loves to take the body. Red Line rates Gudas the third biggest pest in this draft class and compares his demeanor to that of a pit bull. Was named a Western Conference Second Team All-Star this season, partly because he also has the ability to move the puck resonably well and he has decent mobility.
Stickhandling is considered poor and his decision-making with the puck needs refinement. Because he's two years older than most of the prospects in this draft, what you see is what you get, to an extent. He's not going to get much bigger than his current size, although his tenacity compensates for his stature.
Because of his age, the Lightning could sign him immediately and send him to Norfolk of the AHL. He's got a lot of experience, having played 14 games for Kladno in the Czech Extraliga two years ago and 65 games in the Czech second tier league with Beroun between 2006 and 2009. He also was a training camp invitee of the Kings last Fall, so he won't be entering his first NHL training camp. With one or two seasons of refinement, he could make it to the NHL as an energetic third pairing blueliner and world class pest.

A survey on onlineAutoInsurance.com of all 50 state laws outlining penalties for driving without auto insurance, shows that Delaware has the second harshest repercussions for driving without coverage.
Most states only have a several-hundred dollar fine and a license suspension of a couple months. Delaware's minimum fine for a first offense of driving uninsured is between $1,500 and $2,000, and uninsured motorists must give up their driving privilege for a full half-year after a first conviction; Delaware's first offense fine for driving uninsured is the highest in the country.
On a second conviction of driving without insurance, Delawareans face an even greater fine of between $3,000 and $4,000. For more information, visit onlineAutoInsurance.com.

Tulane's Santos Named Associated Press, Sports Illustrated First Team All-American
Dec. 11, 2012
New Orleans - Tulane junior kicker Cairo Santos continues to reap the rewards of his perfect season and today he became the 19th first-team All-American in school history with his selection to the 2012 Associated Press (AP) and Sports Illustrated (SI) All-America First Teams, as it was announced by both publications.
Less than a week after receiving the Lou Groza Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top place-kicker, Santos became the first Tulane player, and just the second kicker, to earn first-team All-America honors since fellow Groza Award winner Seth Marler was a first-team selection by the Football Writers Association of America in 2001.
Santos is also the first Tulane player to receive first-team All-America honors by the AP since receiver Marc Zeno in 1987 and the first Green Wave to receive All-America honors from SI since Matt Forte was a second-team selection in 2007.
"It is a great honor to be recognized by these publications as one of the top kickers in America," Santos said. "I feel privileged to represent Tulane University and our football team, but I could not have achieved this success without my great teammates and coaches. This recognition belongs to them as well."
Three weeks ago, Santos, who hails from Sao Paulo, Brazil, but prepped as an exchange student at St. Joseph's Academy in St. Augustine, Fla., completed one of the best seasons by a kicker in NCAA history by finishing a perfect 21-of-21 on field goal attempts. Santos was named to the All-Conference USA First Team and joined 1996 Groza winner Marc Primanti from North Carolina State as the only kickers in FBS history to stay perfect throughout a season in which they attempted 20 or more, but Santos finished with one more make than Primanti, who was 20-of-20 in 1996.
Santos, who also connected 27-of-28 PAT attempts, led the nation with 12, 40+ yard field goals, including a pair of 50-yarders, and set the school record with a 57-yarder vs. Rice, which tied for the fourth longest in the nation this season. He also nailed a 54-yarder against ULM. Santos led C-USA in field goal percentage (1.000), field goals per game (1.75) and ranked eighth nationally in field goals per game while sitting fifth in kicking points scored (89) per game (7.4), tied for fifth in PAT percentage (.963) and was seventh in overall points per game (7.4).
Freshman defensive back Darion Monroe was also honored today, as he received honorable mention Freshman All-America accolades by the College Football News (CFN). Monroe is the first rookie to receive an All-America honor since running back Orleans Darkwa was named a third-team Freshman All-America by Phil Steele in 2010 and was also an honorable mention selection by CFN.
Monroe, who was named to the All-Conference USA Freshman Team, hails from New Orleans and prepped at nearby East St. John High School in LaPlace. As a true freshman, he started all 12 games, leading the team with 96 tackles and fumble recoveries (3) while adding 2.5 tackles for loss on defense and returning three punts for 63 yards on special teams. He tied for the C-USA lead in fumble recoveries per game (0.25) and tied for 13th in tackles per game (8.0).
Monroe had five double-digit tackle outings with a career-best 13 vs. SMU; 12 vs. Ole Miss and Houston; 10 at UTEP and vs. Rice. He recorded nine stops and a pair of fumble recoveries - including one returned 54 yards for a touchdown -at Memphis.
"This is a tremendous honor and I feel very blessed to be included among so many great freshmen players from around the nation," Monroe said.

Novartis says it is planning to file for regulatory approval of its combination COPD therapy QVA149 in Europe and Japan by the end of this year, on the back of positive data from a fifth Phase III study called Spark. Regulatory submission in the U.S. is projected for the end of 2014. All five trials in the Phase III Ignite program for QVA149 to date have met their primary efficacy, safety, exercise endurance, and exacerbation reduction endpoints. The Phase III development program includes 10 studies in total, involving over 7,000 patients in 42 countries.
QVA149 combines Novartis' approved long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist, indacaterol maleate (Onbrez® Breezhaler®/Arcapta™ Neohaler™) with NVA237 (glycopyrronium bromide; Seebri® Breezhaler®),an investigational long-acting muscarinic antagonist licensed to Novartis in April 2005 by Sosei and its co-development partner Vectura. NVA237 is separately undergoing Phase III development as a once-daily inhaled maintenance therapy for the treatment of COPD.
The 64-week Spark study included 2,224 patients with severe-to-very severe COPD, and compared treatment using either QVA149 or glycopyrronium bromide monotherapy. The study met its primary endpoint of reducing the rate of both moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations, and also overall exacerbations. Treatment using QVA149 similarly led to a lower rate of moderate-to-severe exacerbations when compared with open-label tiotropium.

Full SubmissionRoyal Society submission to Rio+20 consultation
The Royal Society welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the preparatory process of the Rio+20 meeting. The Society believes that Rio+20 is a critical milestone for reinvigorating international political commitment and catalysing action for meeting the challenges the world now faces.
The Royal Society Science Policy Centre (SPC) has undertaken work on a wide range of issues relevant to sustainable development, most recently completing reports on Nuclear Fuel Stewardship1, the Governance of Solar Radiation Management methods of Geoengineering2, Geoengineering the Climate3 and Ground-level Ozone4. The Society has also been central to the development of interacademy statements5 ? at both G8+5 and global (through the IAP global network of academies6) levels: these have set out clear consensus among the international scientific community on wide-ranging issues, such as global health, energy security, climate change, ocean acidification, tropical forests and water and sanitation. Currently the SPC is preparing a report entitled People and the Planet, which considers the dual contribution of population and consumption to sustainable development.
The Society?s submission to the Rio+20 consultation is based exclusively on the content of the People and the Planet report which is expected to be published in early 2012.
This submission contains the following key messages:
The zero draft document must recognize the fundamental importance of population and consumption to achieving sustainable development. A failure to consider the close interactions between the two when identifying goals, desired outcomes and delivery mechanisms for Rio+20 will compromise efforts to achieve sustainable development. Unsustainable population growth, lack of access to reproductive health-care and continuing degradation of environmental services will compromise development and poverty eradication efforts across the world. Demographic changes present challenges and opportunities for sustainable development, and will influence the achievement of a global green economy. Planning for a transition to a green economy must take these dynamics into account.
Population and Consumption and Rio+20
The Rio+20 meeting provides a critical opportunity for reinvigorating international efforts to achieve sustainable development; for lifting the 1.4 billion people who live on less than $1.25 a day out of poverty; for addressing the unsustainable consumption of natural resources and the environmental degradation that results; and for enhancing the health and wellbeing of all citizens around the world.
Since 1992 the progress made in achieving sustainable development has been limited despite previous statements of high-level political support, identification of goals, targets and action plans. Rio+20 must do better.
It is the Society?s view that there are two main reasons for the poor progress made to date:
1. the reluctance of global leaders to integrate population dynamics and sexual and reproductive health rights into sustainable development strategies and mechanisms for delivery; and
2. the failure of market economies to confront the environmental and resource pressures created by an economic model based on the continual expansion of consumer demand, to capture the full value of environmental goods and services, and to address global disparities in the distribution of incomes, consumption levels and access to environmental resources.
Unless Rio+20 addresses each of these issues the Society is concerned that the transformation to a just, equitable, low carbon and environmentally resilient planet is unlikely to be realized.
In the hope that the Rio+20 Green Economy theme will address point 2 above, the emphasis of this submission is on point 1, as the Society is concerned by the low profile of population matters in the preparatory process to date. However, it is the Royal Society?s view that both consumption and population are of fundamental importance to achieving sustainable development and must be addressed together in an internationally co-ordinated and politically integrated fashion.
Economic, social and environmental systems are all strongly influenced by population, especially rates of growth and demographic changes such as urbanisation, migration, and age structure change. The economic and environmental outcomes arising from population growth and demographic change are directly or indirectly a consequence of consumption of resources. Population and consumption are therefore inseparable factors in sustainable development. These linkages have been recognized by the international sustainable development community in the past ? in the 1992 Rio Declaration and Agenda 21, the 1993 Population summit of the World?s Scientific Academies, the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action (ICPD POA) and key actions subsequently agreed at ICPD+5, +10 and +15 (see Appendix 1). Although stabilization of global population growth was identified as important for achieving sustainable development in the report of the Secretary-General to the May 2010 Preparatory Committee7, population issues have otherwise had a notably low profile in the lead up to Rio+20. This is despite the known implications of population growth and demographic change for a world with finite natural resources, the obvious social Equity implications for the many millions of women around the world without access to reproductive health care including contraception and safe abortion, and the social and economic development implications of high fertility levels in the poorest regions of the world and the rapid ageing of societies, which is now occurring in both developed and emerging economies. In late October the global population reached 7 billion people. It is now larger, more urban and older than ever before and is characterized by gross disparities in rights, opportunities and standards of living. In some of the world?s poorest countries high fertility rates hamper development and perpetuate poverty, while low fertility rates in both the richest countries and some of the emerging economies are raising concerns about prospects for economic growth and social security. Globally, current levels of consumption are unsustainable, and yet billions of people currently consume too little to meet their basic human needs. These economic, social and environmental interactions are expressed through the life choices made by individual people and communities, and are likely soon to limit the wellbeing potential of many more people in all parts of the world. For these reasons it is difficult to see how progress can be made if the challenges and opportunities presented by population growth and demographic changes at the global, regional and national level for the social, economic and environmental pillars of sustainable development, are overlooked. To ensure that population is considered alongside consumption at the Rio+20 meeting and subsequent activities, the Royal Society would like to propose that the Principles, Objectives and Key Actions of the 1994 Cairo ICPD POA and subsequent ICPD meetings (see Appendix 1) be reflected in the zero draft document. The POA built on the actions and objectives agreed in Agenda 21 in relation to the interrelationships between population and development, and captured key issues which are just as relevant today as they were in 1994; for example; the important influence of population growth and structure on human wellbeing, the need to recognize reproductive rights and improve access to reproductive health care, to improve gender equality, Equity and empowerment of women, to recognize the links between population, economic growth and poverty and population and environment, and the need to integrate population and (sustainable) development strategies. In terms of specific expectations the Royal Society would like to see the dual importance of population and consumption reflected in any goals, targets and/or programmes of action to come out of the Rio+20 discussions. In this context the Royal Society is supportive in principle of the Colombian Government proposal for the development of Sustainable Development Goals and agrees that Agenda 21 provides a good starting point for identifying the key issues requiring action. However, any new goals developed must address population and consumption together in an integrated way, and should reflect the 1994 Cairo ICPD POA and actions agreed at subsequent ICPD meetings. In the same context, the Royal Society agrees that the Green Economy concept should provide a useful mechanism for helping to achieve sustainable development, in particular through decarbonising consumption, reducing the other environmental impacts of consumption, and reducing consumption inequalities. However, the Society would like to see explicit consideration given to the challenges and opportunities presented by population size, growth rates, structure and distribution in these discussions. For example, how can the green economy agenda be used to ensure countries have the appropriate conditions in place (e.g. health and education infrastructure) to enable them to realize their potential demographic dividend as they approach this stage in their demographic transition? How can the green economy be applied so as to ensure that as countries grow economically they do so equitably and in a low-carbon and environmentally-sustainable way? How can current patterns and trends for increasing international migration be managed to support the growth of a green economy for the benefits of all? What are the implications of the rapid population growth forecast in some parts of the world for the delivery of their green economy, and what are the implications of population decline in areas with low fertility rates? What are the opportunities and challenges presented by an ageing population for a green economy? And, how can the green economy agenda be used to deliver patterns of urbanisation that meets sustainable development objectives? To this end the Royal Society strongly encourages the UN Rio+20 secretariat to work closely with its colleagues in the UN Population Division, UN Environment Programme and UN Development Programme and appropriate national authorities to develop these themes. Finally, in terms of specific outcomes, the Royal Society would like to see Rio+20 result in a clear statement of intent and commitment to achieving sustainable development by global leaders. This must be accompanied by: 1. Outcome driven goals and measurable targets, based on the 1992 Rio Principles, Agenda 21 and the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action (and subsequent ICPD meeting agreed actions). These should complement and significantly strengthen the Millennium Development Goals; 2. Political commitment for the development of an international programme of action for enabling the delivery of the goals. This must contain challenging targets that reflect the size and urgency of the challenge. It should reflect the fundamental importance of population and consumption to sustainable development, the need for improved integration of economic, environmental and social policy making, the principle of common but differentiated responsibility, and the respective roles of the public and private sectors. This should not be an action plan aimed only at achieving the transition to a green economy, or, aimed only at increasing the profile of environmental sustainability. It must facilitate the integration of the three pillars of sustainable development. 3. Firm commitments from governments and the private sector to invest financially in the delivery of the action plan. The Royal Society would be happy to provide assistance to the Rio+20 secretariat on the issues listed above, or on any of the other matters mentioned in the Introduction to this submission. Please contact Rachel Garthwaite, Senior Policy Advisor, Environment and Climate Change, The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SE1Y 5AG, email@example.com +44 207 451 2669. 1 November 2011. 1. ICPD IPOA (1994) PRINCIPLES The implementation of the recommendations contained in the Programme of Action is the sovereign right of each country, consistent with national laws and development priorities, with full respect for the various religious and ethical values and cultural backgrounds of its people, and in conformity with universally recognized international human rights. International cooperation and universal solidarity, guided by the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and in a spirit of partnership, are crucial in order to improve the quality of life of the peoples of the world. In addressing the mandate of the International Conference on Population and Development and its overall theme, the interrelationships between population, sustained economic growth and sustainable development, and in their deliberations, the participants were and will continue to be guided by the following set of principles: Principle 1 All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. Principle 2 Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature. People are the most important and valuable resource of any nation. Countries should ensure that all individuals are given the opportunity to make the most of their potential. They have the right to an adequate standard of living for themselves and their families, including adequate food, clothing, housing, water and sanitation. Principle 3 The right to development is a universal and inalienable right and an integral part of fundamental human rights, and the human person is the central subject of development. While development facilitates the enjoyment of all human rights, the lack of development may not be invoked to justify the abridgement of internationally recognized human rights. The right to development must be fulfilled so as to equitably meet the population, development and environment needs of present and future generations. Principle 4 Advancing gender equality and Equity and the empowerment of women, and the elimination of all kinds of violence against women, and ensuring women's ability to control their own fertility, are cornerstones of population and development- related programmes. The human rights of women and the girl child are an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of universal human rights. The full and equal participation of women in civil, cultural, economic, political and social life, at the national, regional and international levels, and the eradication of all forms of discrimination on grounds of sex, are priority objectives of the international community. Principle 5 Population-related goals and policies are integral parts of cultural, economic and social development, the principal aim of which is to improve the quality of life of all people. Principle 6 Sustainable development as a means to ensure human well-being, equitably shared by all people today and in the future, requires that the interrelationships between population, resources, the environment and development should be fully recognized, properly managed and brought into harmonious, dynamic balance. To achieve sustainable development and a higher quality of life for all people, States should reduce and eliminate unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and promote appropriate policies, including population-related policies, in order to meet the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Principle 7 All States and all people shall cooperate in the essential task of eradicating poverty as an indispensable requirement for sustainable development, in order to decrease the disparities in standards of living and better meet the needs of the majority of the people of the world. The special situation and needs of developing countries, particularly the least developed, shall be given special priority. Countries with economies in transition, as well as all other countries, need to be fully integrated into the world economy. Principle 8 Everyone has the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. States should take all appropriate measures to ensure, on a basis of equality of men and women, universal access to health-care services, including those related to reproductive health care, which includes family planning and sexual health. Reproductive health-care programmes should provide the widest range of services without any form of coercion. All couples and individuals have the basic right to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children and to have the information, education and means to do so. Principle 9 The family is the basic unit of society and as such should be strengthened. It is entitled to receive comprehensive protection and support. In different cultural, political and social systems, various forms of the family exist. Marriage must be entered into with the free consent of the intending spouses, and husband and wife should be equal partners. Principle 10 Everyone has the right to education, which shall be directed to the full development of human resources, and human dignity and potential, with particular attention to women and the girl child. Education should be designed to strengthen respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, including those relating to population and development. The best interests of the child shall be the guiding principle of those responsible for his or her education and guidance; that responsibility lies in the first place with the parents. Principle 11 All States and families should give the highest possible priority to children. The child has the right to standards of living adequate for its well-being and the right to the highest attainable standards of health, and the right to education. The child has the right to be cared for, guided and supported by parents, families and society and to be protected by appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sale, trafficking, sexual abuse, and trafficking in its organs. Principle 12 Countries receiving documented migrants should provide proper treatment and adequate social welfare services for them and their families, and should ensure their physical safety and security, bearing in mind the special circumstances and needs of countries, in particular developing countries, attempting to meet these objectives or requirements with regard to undocumented migrants, in conformity with the provisions of relevant conventions and international instruments and documents. Countries should guarantee to all migrants all basic human rights as included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Principle 13 Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. States have responsibilities with respect to refugees as set forth in the Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. Principle 14 In considering the population and development needs of indigenous people, States should recognize and support their identity, culture and interests, and enable them to participate fully in the economic, political and social life of the country, particularly where their health, education and well-being are affected. Principle 15 Sustained economic growth, in the context of sustainable development, and social progress require that growth be broadly based, offering equal opportunities to all people. All countries should recognize their common but differentiated responsibilities. The developed countries acknowledge the responsibility that they bear in the international pursuit of sustainable development, and should continue to improve their efforts to promote sustained economic growth and to narrow imbalances in a manner that can benefit all countries, particularly the developing countries. 2. Key Actions for the Further Implementation of the Programme of Action of the ICPD -- ICPD+5 (1999) Progress and challenges in the first five years of implementing the Cairo agreement were the focus of a series of meetings leading up to special session of the United Nations General Assembly (ICPD+5) in June 1999. The session identified Key Actions for the Further Implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, including new benchmark indicators of progress in four key areas: 1. Education and literacy Governments and civil society, with the assistance of the international community, should, as quickly as possible, and in any case before 2015, meet the Conference?s goal of achieving universal access to primary education; eliminate the gender gap in primary and secondary education by 2005; and strive to ensure that by 2010 the net primary school enrolment ratio for children of both sexes will be at least 90 per cent, compared with an estimated 85 per cent in 2000 Governments, in particular of developing countries, with the assistance of the international community, should: ... Reduce the rate of illiteracy of women and men, at least halving it for women and girls by 2005, compared with the rate in 1990" 2. Reproductive health care and unmet need for contraception "... Governments should strive to ensure that by 2015 all primary healthcare and family planning facilities are able to provide, directly or through referral, the widest achievable range of safe and effective family planning and contraceptive methods; essential obstetric care; prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, including sexually transmitted diseases, and barrier methods (such as male and female condoms and microbicides if available) to prevent infection. By 2005, 60 per cent of such facilities should be able to offer this range of services, and by 2010, 80 per cent of them should be able to offer such services." "Where there is a gap between contraceptive use and the proportion of individuals expressing a desire to space or limit their families, countries should attempt to close this gap by at least 50 per cent by 2005, 75 per cent by 2010 and 100 per cent by 2050. In attempting to reach this benchmark, demographic goals, while legitimately the subject of government development strategies, should not be imposed on family planning providers in the form of targets or quotas for the recruitment of clients." 3. Maternal mortality reduction "By 2005, where the maternal mortality rate is very high, at least 40 per cent of all births should be assisted by skilled attendants; by 2010 this figure should be at least 50 per cent and by 2015, at least 60 per cent. All countries should continue their efforts so that globally, by 2005, 80 per cent of all births should be assisted by skilled attendants, by 2010, 85 per cent, and by 2015, 90 per cent." 4. HIV/AIDS. "Governments, with assistance from UNAIDS and donors, should, by 2005, ensure that at least 90 per cent, and by 2010 at least 95 per cent, of young men and women aged 15 to 24 have access to the information, education and services necessary to develop the life skills required to reduce their vulnerability to HIV infection. Services should include access to preventive methods such as female and male condoms, voluntary testing, counselling and follow-up. Governments should use, as a benchmark indicator, HIV infection rates in persons 15 to 24 years of age, with the goal of ensuring that by 2005 prevalence in this age group is reduced globally, and by 25 per cent in the most affected countries, and that by 2010 prevalence in this age group is reduced globally by 25 per cent." 3. ICPD+10 (2004) COMMISSION ON POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT Thirty- Seventh Session Review and appraisal of the progress made in achieving the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development 22-26 March and 6 May 2004. Resolution 2004/2: Follow-up to the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development* 6 May 2004, New York * E/CN.9/2004/9 The Commission on Population and Development, Bearing in mind that 2004 marks the tenth anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo in 1994, and of the adoption of its Programme of Action, Concerned that, based on current trends, many countries may fall short of achieving the agreed goals and commitments of the Programme of Action, Reaffirming the United Nations Millennium Declaration2 and the internationally agreed development goals, including those contained therein, Reiterating the call to implement fully and build further on the commitments made and agreements reached at the International Conference on Financing for Development, Recalling General Assembly resolution 57/270 B of 23 June 2003, Bearing in mind the goals and objectives on population and development of the other major United Nations conferences and summits, and their reviews, Welcoming the decision of the General Assembly to commemorate at its fiftyninth session the tenth anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development, Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General on the review and appraisal of the progress made in achieving the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, Taking note also of the report of the Secretary-General entitled ?Flow of financial resources for assisting in the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development: a 10-year review?, Noting that the current levels of financing, including levels of official development assistance, are still well below those needed to achieve the internationally agreed development goals, including the goals contained in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, Stressing the importance of population and reproductive health for development, Bearing in mind the report of the International Conference on Population and Development and on the key actions for the further implementation of the Programme of Action,6 in their entirety, 1. Reaffirms the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development1 and the key actions for its further implementation; 2. Stresses that the implementation of the Programme of Action and the key actions makes an essential contribution to the achievement of internationally agreed development goals, including those contained in the United Nations Millennium Declaration; 3. Recalls that it has been estimated that, in the developing countries and countries with economies in transition, the implementation of programmes in the area of reproductive health will cost, in 1993 United States dollars, $18.5 billion in 2005 and $21.7 billion in 2015,7 and that it is tentatively estimated that up to two thirds of the costs will continue to be met by the countries themselves and approximately one third from external resources; 4. Reiterates that increased political will from all Governments and reaffirmation of the commitment for mobilization of international assistance, as agreed in Cairo, are urgently needed to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action, which will in turn contribute to the advancement of the broad population and development agenda; 5. Also reiterates that Governments should continue to commit themselves at the highest political level to achieving the goals and objectives of the Programme of Action, inter alia, through the integration of the Programme of Action in programmes and national policies for poverty eradication; 6. Recognizes that the effective implementation of the Programme of Action will require an increased commitment of financial resources, both domestically and externally, and in this context calls upon developed countries to complement the national financial efforts of developing countries related to population and development and intensify their efforts to transfer new and additional resources to the developing countries, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Programme of Action, in order to ensure that population and development objectives and goals are met; 7. Urges donor countries to fulfil their commitments with regard to their official development assistance for population assistance; 8. Calls upon both donors and developing countries to make every effort to strengthen their commitment to meet the estimated costs of the Programme of Action; 9. Encourages Governments, international organizations, including those of the United Nations system, international financial institutions and other relevant stakeholders to assist developing countries in implementing the Programme of Action through technical assistance and capacity-building activities to accelerate the implementation of the Programme of Action; 10. Reiterates that international cooperation in the field of population and development is essential for the implementation of the Programme of Action and the key actions for its further implementation and for the attainment of its goals by 2015, and calls upon the international community to continue to provide, both bilaterally and multilaterally, support and assistance for population and development activities in the developing countries; 11. Emphasizes the importance of building and sustaining partnerships among Governments and relevant civil society stakeholders, in accordance with section V of the key actions, so as to strengthen the capacity of developing countries for the successful implementation of the Programme of Action and the key actions for its further implementation, and invites all Governments and relevant organizations of the United Nations system, as well as the private sector and nongovernmental organizations, to continue to support these activities; 12. Calls upon the United Nations Population Fund to continue to play a crucial role, within its mandate, in helping recipient countries to achieve the goals and targets contained in the Programme of Action, the key actions for its further implementation and the United Nations Millennium Declaration, recognizing the strong and widespread support for the activities of the Fund.

Days after moving into the national rankings, the 25th-ranked Princeton men's swimming and diving team will travel to Sheerr Pool Saturday for an afternoon tri-meet against both Cornell and host Penn. Diving will begin at 1, while the swimming events start at 3:30.
This meet was also held at Sheerr Pool last season, and Princeton came away with a sweep. The Tigers topped Penn 168-112, and they handed Cornell a 192-88 defeat. Five Princeton freshmen earned individual victories for the Tigers, including two apiece for Harrison Wagner and David Paulk.
That should be a good sign for the weekend, as the current crop of Princeton freshmen showed its strength last weekend at the season-opening Big Al Open. Led by a three-event win by En-Wei Hu-Van Wright, the fifth-ranked Princeton Class of 2016 shined for the four-time reigning Ivy League champions.

The plot was hatched last night. It began as a dare by my friends Anne and Sarah, and after a couple of drinks it was settled. We would go as curiosity seekers, observers of the human condition, anthropologists of a sort. So now here we are, lurking behind a low stone wall on the edge of Central Park, across the street from the church where my ex-husband is taking a spanking new bride. We are here to spy.
Friends of mine tipped me off to where the wedding would be held. They were invited, but boycotted the festivities in a show of solidarity. Why they gave me the information, I don't know, but it's safe to say they had no idea what I would do with it.
As Anne, Sarah and I wait for the happy couple to emerge aglow in connubial bliss, I imagine myself a Pygmy armed with poison darts: thwack—straight into their necks. Down the church steps they would tumble, a tangle of tulle and Armani. Blood would trickle onto her lovely white dress; her high heel would impale his heart. "Such a pity," their friends would say. "They were so in love."
My 10–year-old daughter is a flower girl in the wedding. I never asked what her dress looks like. I don't know who will sit with her three-year-old sister during the cere-mony or how the girls feel about this event. When their father picked them up yesterday, they were unusually quiet. "Have fun," I said, as I kissed them good-bye, wishing I really meant it. They'd said almost nothing about the wedding, and I had no idea how to approach the topic. I felt guilty about my silence until my therapist told me that if the girls wanted to talk, they would, but not to press them. "Children of divorce are conflicted," she said. "They find it hard to bridge the two worlds." I know how they feel; I find it hard to bridge the two worlds too.
"What if the children see me?" I ask Sarah, as I peek up over the wall. "The last thing I want is for them to see their mother conduct-ing covert operations. They'll think I'm pathetic."
"You are pathetic," Sarah replies. "But it doesn't matter. They'll never spot us here." The park is lush with greenery, and we are posi-tioned approximately a hundred yards to the left of the church. I pray she is right. I wouldn't be on this mission if I'd had time to adjust to the idea of my ex's remarriage, but this is May and we were officially di-vorced only last August. After 10 years of marriage and two children, he left with the simple explanation that he "didn't want to be married anymore." The day after my attorney informed me that the divorce was final, my now-ex called to tell me he was engaged.
With the children to focus on, I've barely had time to figure out how to be single again—and he has a whole new wife. I have no idea who she is or how they met, which is just as well, I suppose. The less I know, the less I hurt. But still, I wonder, what kind of fool would leave a girl like me? What does she have that I don't, other than my husband?
I don't share my questions with my friends for fear they will answer honestly. Instead, I engage in small talk, pretend that skulking behind a giant oak with a pair of binoculars is perfectly normal behavior. Anne has appointed herself lookout, and she takes her responsibility seriously. The binoculars are hers. We pass them back and forth, adjusting the focus until we have it just right. After an interminable 45 minutes, people begin emerging from the church.
"Give me those," I say, grabbing the binoculars out of Anne's hands. I realize as I peer through them that there is something twisted about this. It's sort of like watching your own open-heart surgery. Without anesthesia.
"It's Paul and Ellie. Those turncoats!" I gasp, even though I never liked either of them. I have a similar reaction every time anyone I know walks out, including my former in-laws. Somehow, I'd hoped they wouldn't attend.
The guests mill about the church steps in the warm spring sun. They must be preparing for some pagan ritual like throwing rice or rose petals or maybe pebbles. Pebbles would be a new and interesting thing to throw.
People tossed rice at my wedding. My mother and my Aunt Pat made little packages out of tulle, tied with pale pink ribbons, the same color as my bridesmaids' dresses. My husband and I dashed under the shower of grain hand in hand while our friends and families clapped and cheered. I was 28 and hopeful. Now I'm 41 and cynical.
Through binoculars, I identify various other traitors. My ex walks out onto the church steps and waves like a politician. Beside him is a woman wearing a fancy white dress. I presume she is the bride. This is the first time I have laid eyes on her and I want to declare her heinous, but I can't discern her features. She's tall and thin, I can see, but other than that, she's a blur.
It has been more than two years since my husband left, long enough for me to figure out that we were wildly incompatible. But seeing him standing there with his new wife almost makes me sick. If he had just told me that he was sorry or that he never meant to hurt me, maybe I could deal with this like a grown-up.
My girls appear next to their father. From this distance they look like dolls in poofy dresses. I want to know who dressed them, who helped them with their hair. I want to know if they are sad inside, or happy for their father. I want to dash across the street, snatch them off the steps and keep running without ever looking back.
Back in January, my ex asked me if he could have the children for this weekend. Knowing what he wanted them for, I went through the calendar week by week to figure out whose weekend it was while he stood by watching. Lo and behold, it was mine.
"Well," I said, looking up, "we'll just have to see how you behave between now and then." He turned on his heel and stormed out of the apartment. I'm not so hateful that I would have refused to let the girls participate. I just wanted to provoke him.
I am trying to zoom in on the scene with the binoculars when Anne says, "Jan . . . Jan . . . Jan . . . shit!"
"What?" I ask, annoyed by the interruption. Then I look up. It is Bill (fake name, real tuxedo), the best man in the wedding, fast ap-proaching. I can't believe he has made it all the way down the steps, across the street and 10 paces away before anyone noticed.
I wish for a massive earthquake or for a grizzly bear to emerge from the trees and swallow me whole. I close my eyes for a moment, the way a two- year-old plays peek-a-boo, as in, "If I can't see you, then you can't see me."
When I open them, Bill is standing directly in front of me wearing the most patronizing expression possible. You were in my wedding too, Bill, I think. How could you betray me like this?
"What's up?" I ask, as if I just happen to be hanging out in the area with a pair of binoculars.
"Not much," he answers. "How's it going?"
I start babbling about how happy I am, how much fun I'm having dating. My face is so flushed I can feel the heat rising off my cheeks, but I can't make myself shut up. Bill doesn't say much in response, just the occasional "Uh huh," accompanied by a condescending nod. When I am finished with my spiel, he says, "Nice hat."
Then I remember that in an attempt to go incognito, I am wearing a baseball cap. My friend Julie gave it to me to commemorate a date I had with a guy named Jeff. He'd stood me up with the excuse that he got stuck at happy hour, then called the next day to apologize and suggest that he just Rollerblade over. "No," I said to him. "You're not Rollerblading over." Julie, single as well, had my answer emblazoned on a cap for my birthday. This is just peachy, I think. My ex is remarried, and I am a walking advertisement for bad dates. Fortunately, I have the sense not to explain the hat to Bill. Instead, I just say, "Thank you," and snatch it off my head.
I want desperately to know who else knows I am here—my ex? His bride? Or god forbid, my children? I don't dare ask. I don't want to have to kill myself on the spot, which seems like the only logical thing to do if the answer to any of the above is yes.
Finally, Bill reaches over and gives me a hug. "You go on home," he says. Loosely translated, this means, "Please get out of public view to avoid further humiliation." A million thoughts run through my head—bribing him, murdering him, begging him—anything to keep him silent. "Good seeing you," I say as I turn to leave. Bill heads back to join the wedding party on the church steps. Soon they will be off to a soirée with free-flowing Champagne and fancy hors d'oeuvres while I contemplate playing in traffic.
Rather than emerge into plain view, my friends and I walk all the way through the park to catch a cab. On the way, we discuss exactly what it was that made us think this was a good idea in the first place. I don't have a clue. Anne is feeling too sheepish to suggest much of anything. Sarah thinks I needed closure. "Well, I certainly got that," I say.
We arrive at my apartment building, and I go upstairs alone, feeling like the biggest loser on the planet. The only way to deal with this, I realize, is to remain under the delusion for the rest of my life that maybe, just maybe, no one else knew I was there.
My girls won't be home until tomorrow. With only the TV to keep me company, I can't remember ever being lonelier. Some part of me always thought that my ex would come to his senses, beg my forgiveness, tell me what a fool he was to leave. I imagined a Graduate-like scenario, where he would turn and run screaming from the church, back to me, his one and only true love. "It will never work," I'd say. "There's been too much damage. Now I'm dumping you." So much for that fantasy.
I get up off the couch to pour myself a glass of wine, light a candle, look for something to read. As I stare absentmindedly at my book-shelf, I remember the letter I wrote to my then-husband right after he left, apologizing for anything I had ever done to hurt him. I thought if I were the bigger person, he would apologize too. I wanted to know that he cared about me on some level, even if he didn't love me.
But after today, I realize it's unlikely that he's ever going to apologize. And maybe he's not even sorry. They say that acceptance is the final stage of grief. What they don't say is that some people have to make big-ass fools out of themselves to get there.

When you're tracking deer deep in the woods or waiting for ducks in hip-deep marsh mud, having the right gear in your duffel bag or backpack can mean the difference between filling your tags and coming home empty handed. Failure to prepare reduces your accuracy and limits the amount of time you can spend in pursuit. Pick your gear carefully in advance and you'll be ready for anything. Use the Sears hunting gear finder to get your hands on the perfect load-out for capturing the toughest prey.
The hunting tools you'll need depend on where your quarry hides. Grab the best extreme-weather-grade environmental equipment if you want to keep up as the seasons change. It's harder to concentrate in bad weather, so stay warm with ThermoLogic Heated vests and gloves. All you need is a Lithium Ion battery to dial the temperature up or down as you desire, but remember that your body isn't the only thing that needs environmental protection. Our tough-as-nails Voodoo Tactical cases keep weapons as ready as you are, and their mounting points ensure that you'll never have to leave your position while you wait for the perfect moment to strike. Readiness is essential, and even casual fishing trips on the open waterare more fun when you've prepared the right boating equipment. Gear like our MACH-1 Tactical Fishing/Hunting vests ensure that you've always got the extras you need to clean your catches and get back to casting.
The length of your trip and the types of animals you want to pursue also play a role in what kind of equipment you bring. Condor Assault Packs and other military gear are perfect for long excursions because they generally have far more tactical compartments than you'll find in a regular backpack. They're great for storing specialty fishing gear like our Boomerang Fishing Pliers. These are essential for any angler who wants to switch their lines or lures up as they go, and with a convenient holster, you can attach them to your vest or belt. Mix and match your accessories to get the perfect set, combining items like our Mil-Spec self-sharpening sheaths with your favorite knife to cut down on your workload and focus on spotting new prey.
You can't catch what you can't see, so it's important to pick up the right optics. Improve your accuracy over long distances with flip-up units like our Barska front sights, and never miss another tricky shot because of inferior equipment. These sights fold away for storage and attach to many different firearms and rails. For even harder targets, grab an independent spotting scope from Barska or an NcStar laser sight. These tough-bodied optics not only make you a better shot in all types of terrain, they increase your confidence about taking your targets down.
Excursions are more fun when you're ready for the unexpected. Outfit yourself for your next fishing or hunting trip with Sears today, and stay calm in the thick of the hunt.

The Children's Dessert Theater, a youth acting program of the Second Street Players in Milford, are currently rehearsing the Vera Morris play, "Jungle Book," which is set to take the stage Friday, Oct. 12 at the Riverfront Theatre in Milford.
Morris' play is an adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's infamous childhood morality tales featuring an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli and the wise advice-giving animals he encounters.
Unlike other SSP performances, the children's theater group offers live entertainment designed specifically for young audiences and families. After each colorful, interactive production, the audience is served free refreshments and given the opportunity to meet with the show's cast for autographs. Costumed participation by the audience is also encouraged at these events.
The play will take the stage for three separate performances. Friday night's kickoff performance at 7 p.m., Oct. 12 will see the return of SSP's "family affordable" night with no set ticket price. Families are simply asked to pay what they can. The Saturday and Sunday afternoon performances will be at 1 p.m. with $10 general admission.
The cast, being co-directed by Josh Gross and Sharon Buchanan, features more than 25 actors who will bring ageless characters like the tiger Shere Khan, the lovable bear Baloo, the panther Bagheera and the sneaky python Kaa to life.
This particular children's production of "Jungle Book" is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowments of the Arts.

ASK IRA: Can Heat get into Dwight Howard bidding?
Q: Doesn't the relentless and cut-throat Pat Riley have an obligation to his owner to at least investigate the possibility of getting Dwight Howard? — Moshe.
A: Yes he does and I'm sure he has (or will). But he's not giving up LeBron James (he's just not). And I don't think he even brings up Dwyane Wade's name unless Orlando tells Riley that's what gets a deal done (the last thing Riley needs out there is that he offered Dwyane). Beyond that, even with Bosh, I'd think the last thing the Magic would want to do is send Dwight to the Heat. In a perfect world, they would deal him as far as possible.
Q: Gilbert Arenas or Chauncey Billups? I know that character and chemistry are huge factors and so we have our answer in Billups, but Arenas is much younger and is better at getting his own shot. I admit I didn't watch much Magic last year and didn't see how far Arenas has fallen. Thoughts? — Kevin.
A: I'd take Billups every time. I'm sure they're considering Gilbert, as well, because that's what they do. I just don't know if a personality that large is the right fit in this locker room, although with Haslem and Battier, there are plenty of calming influences. The issue is whether Gilbert has anything left in regard to lift or explosion, since we know there's nothing on the defensive end.
Q: Ira, should the Heat brace themselves for interference from David Stern if Billups is claimed? — Chet.
A: Chauncey is a free agent; Stern would have no influence on the process. This could be interesting, since the Lakers and Mavericks figure to make pitches, as well, should he clear secondary waivers.
Q: With the additions made by the Celtics and when the Bulls get Richard Hamilton, I think those teams are better than the Heat and the Knicks are right behind. What do you think? — Tee.
A: I think that's absolutely ridiculous, part of the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately syndrome. The Heat have LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, two of the five best players in the game. Case closed. The Knicks? Really? LeBron is better than their best player (Carmelo). Wade is better than their second-best player (Amare). And Bosh is better than their third-best player (Chandler).
Q: Why don't the Heat cut Mike Miller in amnesty? — Thad.
A: Because at this point, it doesn't make any difference. They've already used their mid-level on Shane Battier and are out of exceptions beyond minimum salaries. There essentially would be no cap impact whether Mike stays or goes.
