Book synopsis
This collection of essays arises from the 2005 Cambridge French Graduate Conference on the theme of threat. From the baleful and ubiquitous eyes of surveillance cameras to the ever-present possibility of total nuclear annihilation, threat is everywhere around us. Yet the phenomenon itself, if indeed it is a single phenomenon, has received little attention. This volume seeks to remedy this oversight with a collection of concise, hard-hitting essays on a variety of topics in French culture. Organized around central approaches to the problem of threat – (inter)cultural, philosophical, and approaches through the visual arts – the book examines anxiety, privacy, loss, invasion, and other issues related to the theme. Though emphasis is placed on the contemporary period, writers of the French Renaissance also receive due attention.

Four Former Minutemen Begin Quest For Cup
April 30, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - With the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs opening up tonight, four UMass hockey alums will begin their quests to hoist the Cup over the next two days. Justin Braun, Matt Irwin, Mike Kostka and Jonathan Quick make up the largest contingent of former Minutemen in action in the postseason at one time.
Quick is making his fourth postseason appearance and will be attempting to lead the Los Angeles Kings to a repeat of last season's playoff run that saw the Kings capture the Cup and Quick take home the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. The Kings kick off first round action tonight against the St. Louis Blues.
Braun has reached the postseason for the third time in his NHL career with the San Jose Sharks and is joined this year in the playoffs by former Minuteman and recently-named Sharks' Rookie of the Year Matt Irwin. The Sharks square off against Vancouver in game one tomorrow night, Wednesday, May 1.
Rookie Mike Kostka has helped the Toronto Maple Leafs return the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2004 and the 2008 UMass grad will be looking to win his second championship in as many seasons. His 2012 postseason heroics were key in the Norfolk Admirals' Calder Cup victory over the Toronto Marlies. The Maple Leafs play the Bruins in the first round with game one of that series set for Wednesday.
Four more Minutemen are a part of teams still alive in postseason action in the AHL and ECHL. Casey Wellman's and Paul Dainton's, Hershey Bears and Springfield Falcons, respectively, both currently hold 2-0 series leads in the AHL Eastern Conference Semifinals. Alex Berry, T.J. Syner and the Reading Royals have reached the ECHL Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Royals currently lead that series, 3-2 over the Florida Everblades.

In an early trailer for GTA III, a cutscene was shown showing Claude entering Salvatore's club only to be met by Yakuza.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
You were supposed to get a reasonably nice car and drive it over to Cesar's house. Once there, Cesar was going to tune it up for Carl Johnson and socialize at the same time. However, the car gets towed before they can do anything so CJ and Cesar head over to the Police Station to retrieve it from the impound lot.
The mission was supposed to find the Russian who knows where Big Smoke is hiding and then needs to take over some Los Santos Vagos territories in order to gain access to Big Smoke's palace.

The UCLA men's volleyball team, which split a pair of matches last week in the Bay Area, returns home for three matches against UC Santa Barbara and BYU.
The Bruins (12-2, 7-1) will host the UCSB Gauchos (9-3, 6-3) on Tues., Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. Defending NCAA champion BYU (9-2, 7-2) comes to Westwood for a two-match series beginning Thurs., Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. and ending on Sat., Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. All matches will be played in Pauley Pavilion.
All three matches will be broadcast live on uclabruins.com with Lou Riggs, Mike Sondheimer and Paul Nihipali calling the action.
In the Bay Area over the weekend, the Bruins defeated Pacific, 3-1, but were upset by eighth-ranked Stanford, 3-1.
Against the Tigers, UCLA senior Matt Komer tied his season high with 20 kills (.375) and added nine digs and five block assists. Junior Cameron Mount added 18 kills (.467) with five digs, and quick hitter Scott Morrow contributed 11 kills (.625) and five block assists.
The Bruins out-blocked the Tigers, 13.5-8.5 and limited UOP's hitting percentage to .315, while hitting at a .391 clip.
Against Stanford, Komer led UCLA with 16 kills (.344), nine digs, three aces and three block assists. Mount added 14 kills and eight digs, and Morrow recorded 12 kills (.474), two block assists and a pair of digs.
All-American Curt Toppel led Stanford with 18 kills, seven digs, three aces and three block assists. Junior outside hitter Billy Strickland added 16 kills (.393), four solo blocks and three digs.
Sixth-ranked UC Santa Barbara reeled off six straight victories to open the season, then lost a pair of matches on the road to Pacific and Stanford last month. The Gauchos have strung together three straight victories since losing in three at Pepperdine, Feb. 3.
Senior outside hitters Ben Koski (3.8 kpg) and Andy Rivera (3.5 kpg) lead UCSB, which is hitting .374 as a team.
BYU lost four starters from last year's NCAA championship team, including All-American setter Hector Lebron. This season, juniors Mike Wall (4.8 kpg) and Joaquin Acosta (4.2 kpg) lead the Cougar attack. Acosta is the first cousin of UCLA freshman outside hitter Jonathan Acosta.

They also serve: Rabbis' spouses prove as diverse as roles they fill
Just before the High Holy Days last year, I was sitting in synagogue when I was struck by the star power of its rabbi. When he spoke, everyone listened, transfixed, as if the words he offered were revelations -- inspiring, challenging and healing all at the same time.
At the end of his sermon, the congregants erupted in applause. I could hear them whispering about him all at once.
"He's amazing," several said.
"I love him!"
That's when the cantor's wife, who was sitting next to me, tapped me on the shoulder.
"You know," she whispered under the din of temple chatter. "I'm waiting for the story about what it's like to be married to someone in the clergy."
That's when I began wondering about the people rabbis go home to at night, the people who don't just love the rabbi, but who also know the rabbi.
For as long as rabbis have been arguing Talmud, their wives have been at home preparing Shabbat dinner.
Yet that image, along with expectations for clergy spouses, has evolved. For one, they're no longer all women. They're no longer always hovering in the background; they're not even always a different gender from their partner.
Modern rabbis' spouses don't fit into any single mold.
Peni Bouskila is a major player in helping her overburdened husband run their synagogue; David Light balances comedy writing with care of his two daughters; Rachel Bookstein partners with her husband to reinvigorate Jewish life on a college campus; Bruce Ellman brings his psychology training to benefit his temple; Marjorie Pressman served as a fiery force throughout her now-retired husband's pulpit career; and Brian and Deborah Schuldenfrei share the title of "Rabbi Schuldenfrei."
They all share their spouses' life of public service. They are all subject to public scrutiny and have to protect their privacy. And at the most family-oriented moments of the Jewish calendar, they have to share their spouses with the rest of the community, as much on Shabbat as holidays. Most days, they cannot expect their lives to proceed without interruption: Rabbis are on call for emergencies at all times.
Even as I did my research over the past year, lives changed: Peni Bouskila's kids got older. The rabbis Schuldenfrei gave birth to their first child and Rabbi Sharon Brous became pregnant with her third. And, along the way, I became involved with a rabbi of my own, because as it turns out, God is not without a sense of irony.
The night the man I am now seeing was ordained, he asked me whether I could see myself marrying a rabbi. I hesitated to answer. I didn't think I could bear missing someone so much. I wondered whether a rabbi could ever love their spouse as much as they love their work -- a tough choice when your business partner is God.
But if I found any truth in the writing of this, it's that none of these people chose to marry a lifestyle. As Marjorie Pressman put it, "I didn't marry a rabbi. I married the man I fell in love with."
And that's the thread that binds these seven people together.
At the heart of all these stories and all their struggles, are simple, powerful love stories.

A Sneak Preview of the 2nd Avenue Deli

There's been plenty of coverage of the new 2nd Avenue Deli, but our feeling on Grub Street is that there just can't be enough. Into the Box TV, a real-estate video site, has an advanced tour of the deli. We like the finished interior, especially a mural depicting the old restaurant in its heyday that's an instant classic. And while there's a good video of owner Jeremy Lebewhol, we suggest reading Rob and Robin's more detailed one in this week's magazine.

A Review of William H. Kotke's:
The Final Empire
by Dan Armstrong
Civilization is the environmental crisis and the loss of topsoil is our measure of the etiology of the disease.
William Kotke, The Final Empire.
Any honest appraisal of the way modern society enters the twenty-first century must indeed be glum. So dark is the human stain upon the planet, one must wonder if some retrograde virus has invaded our consciousness. Certainly brilliance has shown through periodically in the ten thousand years of human civilization, but voracious urban expansion and unconscionable waste have ravaged the living surface of the planet. There seems no heed in the harvest of our forests. Industrial and automobile emissions have entirely altered the chemistry of the atmosphere and the air we breath. We must soon expect a great die-off of sea life in our polluted oceans. All genetic material is seriously scorched with toxins and irradiation. No sudden mutation, no global epidemic, no catastrophic earth event would be a surprise. We have erred. We have lost our way. The Empire has failed. Critical psychic, socio-economic and biological breakdowns threaten. Mother Nature demands that we change our society. So does William H. Kotke in his book The Final Empire (401 pages; Arrow Point Press, {unavailable, out of print}).
All of us have to struggle to throw off the mind conditioning that we have received in civilization. Our reality molding would have us believe that there are environmental problems such as toxic chemicals, radiation and acid rain. The fact is that our life crisis began with empire/civilization. The environmental crisis began thousands of years ago, when the Han Chinese began to destroy the vast forests of China and when the Indo-Europeans began to overgraze the vegetation and exhaust the soils of central Asia. For two to three million years humans lived on the planet in a stable condition then suddenly with the cultural inversion to civilization, the earth began to die.
The judgement is directly against what we name progress. The central paradigm of our society is challenged. The split is Daniel Quinn's "leavers" and "takers." That is what the title of Mr. Kotke's self-published book means. The environmental problem is deeply systemic and, for that reason, desperately political. Before the planet can be healed, civilization or the colonizing machine of Empire must stop.
We might also as readers stop here--if we can't bear an assault on the way we live. If we can't let go of our conditioned bias long enough to give this "apocalyptic approach" proper court. The bottom line represents a deep questioning of the value system that sustains our electronic global culture. Too often we knee-jerk to criticism of our materialism or our neglect of the fuller living community. We deny our increasing psychic malaise. We react before we think. Don't you feel it though? Is there not something wrong with the way we live? Does this society seem healthy to you?
In spite of its tough message, there is much compassion and humanity in The Final Empire. Right away as you begin to read this work, you sense increasingly the grand perspective in Kotke's words. He is not speaking of anarchy. He is offering vital common sense. It's just that his meaning is so unavoidably political. And so much against what we have been taught all our lives:
The materialistic values of civilization teach us that the accumulation of wealth is progress. The mater-ial wealth of the civilization is derived from the death of the earth, the soils, the forests, the fish stocks, the 'free resources' of flora and fauna. The ultimate end of this is for all human species to live in giant parasitical cities of cement and metal while surrounded by deserts of exhausted soils. The simple polar opposites are: the richness and wealth of the natural life of earth versus the material wealth of people living out their lives in artificial environments.
This amounts to a direct challenge to humankind. A demand for radical change. A re-envisioning of our part in the community of life and the precepts of individuality. And Mr. Kotke provides a strong argument for this case. He traces the environmental scars of civilization through the ages. Empire after empire, desertification of the top soil winds its way around the globe in an erosive helix from China to India to Mesopotamia to Italy to North America. Agriculture, the first wave of Empire, with its dam building and irrigation ensures the steady nutritional diminution of the soil. Deforestation, chemical fertilizing, over-grazing, all of these lead to the erosion and sterilization of the planet's womb of micro-organisms, the top soil:
The soil depth and its richness is a basic standard of health of the living planet...The nourishment of the soil depends upon the photosynthetic production of the vegetative cover that it carries. There are wide differences in the Net Photosynthetic Production of many possible vegetative covers. As a rule it is the climax ecosystem of any particular region of the earth that is the most productive in translating the energy of the sun into the growth of plants and in turn into organic debris which vitalizes the soil.
The interconnectedness of life has escaped us. The web of living things has a natural order, a resonance. The periodicity of our solar system, the grid of geophysical dynamics, animal habitats, bacterial colonies, helical proteins, we sit enmeshed in shell within shell of the universe. Yet, it seems we wish to exit from the community of living things. We sadly strive to live outside the very fabric of life itself. It is perverse. It is a denial of our very selves. It is a mistake.
While the thrust of the life of the planet is to increase complexity (diversify) and maximize energy circulation (sharing), the thrust of Empire is to simplify. Even if the agriculturalist did nothing but clear away the climax ecosystem, the planet's life would eventually run down. Because the soil is a perpetual flow system itself, it must be fed so that it can continue to maintain. If deprived of feed it will decline. Civilized development of all types interferes with the creation of soil.
Not only our insatiable urban growth, but also our methods of agriculture, even our very sense of farming are to blame:
There are at least 5,000 plants that have been used for human consumption on the planet yet the civilized diet is made up from less than ten types of plants. The reason for this is the cultural style of using agriculture itself, dietary habit, mass production, and profits...Wheat, rice, and corn make up one half the food consumed on the planet, with barley, oats, sorghum, and millet making up the next one quarter. If we add beans and potatoes...these ten species of plants are the essential basis (95%) of world agriculture.
In direct contradiction to the most vital law of environmental stability, we are increasingly reducing variety, turning climax ecosystems into monocultures.
What Kotke is telling us, even proving to us through the course of his immaculately researched and densely footnoted text, is the unvarnished and irreverent truth about our culture. He says what can not be said: It will be our death! Our very way of life, our society, our culture, amounts to an environmental insult to the planet. "The planetary disaster is traced to one simple fact. Civilization is out of balance with the flow of planetary energy."
While capitalists promulgate the philosophy that the health of national/world economy is based on steady growth, the uncompromising reality is that until we start selling real estate on other planets, there is a finite limit to growth on Earth. There is only so much land, so much water, so much air--and it all relies heavily on the green stuff to be recycled and cleansed. Still we recklessly clear the vegetative life from the skin of the planet. We live as though there were no tomorrow. And yet, one way or another, bleak or bright, there will be a tomorrow.
It is estimated that more than one third of the earth was forested prior to the culture of empire...The most recent estimates show that only about one tenth of the forest remain...When forests are cut, the rainfall which the trees had moderated, rushes over the bare surface of the Earth, carrying off the loose soil. The silt-laden runoff swells and overflows the riverbanks, flooding the lowlands, scouring out and widening the river beds. When the living system of roots which held the soil on the hillsides is gone, landslides become increasingly frequent. When the dry season returns, no reserves of moisture remain in the ravaged soil. A worsening cycle of flooding and drought begins.
And when we replant clear-cut primeval forests, we don't plant in such a way that the damaged area can return to a climax ecosystem; again, we become monoculturist and plant one-variety tree plantations.
If the problem were simply one of ecology, it would not be so difficult to address, even solve. But the problem is deeper than that. It is in the dark soul of Empire. It is in the cultural dynamics, imbedded in the language, entangled in the psycho-logy of the modern social being. It results from the very behavioral modification of multi-raced aborigines to fit into homogenized human ghettos of asphalt, rebar, and concrete. It is in the unstoppable momentum of a material system wound up on profit at the expense of all. It is Empire.
Were William Kotke to stop here, we could accuse him of simply being a pessimistic critic. It is so much easier to find fault than come up with solutions. But The Final Empire is a two part book. The first two hundred pages, entitled "The Collapse of Civilization," details the premise, telling us how the conditions that now surround us came to be--not in the last century, not since the onset of the Industrial age, not since the origin of the East India Company, but as a result of the entire course of human civilization. This part of the work is depressing in its honesty--a grinding survey of statistics and facts that press home a rather unpleasant truth. In part II, however, entitled "The Seed of the Future," we see Kotke the pessimist transformed into visionary.
This book is not just a environmental polemic. It is a clear-sighted critique of the human condition set upon the backdrop of the multi-tiered living organism of the Earth. When we stop to appraise our head-long rush into the future, when we take the time to evaluate the long term effects of civilization on the planet, when we finally take a long hard look at ourselves, the question occurs: What really is our place on Earth? Are we alien-virus, determined to sear the place of life and then be gone? Are we a subtle and sophisticated mass-being meant to integrate with the subtle and complex community of life on Earth? Or are we a deluded deification of consciousness, intoxicated by material magnificence, vain drunk with selfishness and greed?
Prior to their absorption by empire culture, an unimaginably rich variety of human Natural cultures circled the earth, each reflecting in its unique cultural consciousness the complexity and magic of life on Earth. The Natural cultures and divisions were cultivated over eons of time. Primal, or Natural peoples--those who exist in harmony and stability with the cycles of the Natural life--generally experience a deep subconscious sense of psychic security that is based in the Natural abundance of the earth ecologies.
Is it possible that better, wholer societies of humans existed long ago? Might there still be, in the remote corners of this earth, tribal societies that by their primitiveness do not impinge upon, but blend with their environment--and their own being? Is this the vision of Adam and Eve before the Fall? Has the burgeoning of ego in our consciousness stripped us of Paradise? Or is it just time for consciousness to recognize consciousness? How does man, full of knowledge, address the re-ecology of the failing civilization? Can non-primitives learn to live simply? Where do we start relearning how to live?
In many ways, this is the question the second half of The Final Empire, "The Seed of the Future," answers. Much of it reads like an anthropological study seen through the eyes of a environmentalist, looking for hints on how to fit in, how to impact symbiotically. In what might be the most valuable part of the book, Kotke introduces us to a variety of tribal communities, participating in a variety eco-systems: The Tukano of the Amazon Rainforest; The Essene community from the Age of Christ; The G/Wi bushman of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa; the Apache of the western plains. Pay heed. The lessons here are ones that may be useful at some time in the future!
Though one might be tempted to diminish Mr. Kotke's treatise as just another writer's return to the "noble savage" and an over-glorification of Natural cultures and tribal life, his effort is more to remind us that for all our word/book/computer/- knowledge, we lack in organic wisdom and holistic sense for the common life-spirit. At the heart of Kotke's message is the healing of a planet gone radically to desertification, a healing focused on rebuilding the topsoil through watershed restoration. It will become our chore to facilitate the orderly return of vegetation to damaged ground, beginning with weeds and other tough "first aid" plants, pioneering into the hardpack, aerating the soil, allowing the accumulation of moisture and the budding of new colonies of micro-organisms, building fertility and opening the soil to a wider variety of vegetative life, creating the opportunity for a return of the lost climax ecosystem.
As radical as it may seem at first glance, The Final Empire is a necessary and sensible primer for the recovery of the planet. It blends a critical statistical analysis of our deteriorating environment with a positivism of hope for a post-empire age and a new whole-human relation to the living community of Earth. The emphatic suggestion that we are going wrong is a difficult pill to swallow for the inculcated, but the reality screams through our intuitions, through our unnatural relationships with living things, through the vivid signs of ecological disintegration. Pride be damned. It is no time for denial. Mr. Kotke offers us a road map. It leads us back to Paradise.
We speak to our basic condition of life on earth. We have heard of many roads to salvation. We have heard that economic development will save us, solar heating will save us, technology, the return of Jesus Christ who will restore the heaven and the earth, the promulgation of land reform, the recycling of materials, the establishment of capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism, Muslimism, vegetarianism, trilateralism, and even the birth of a new Aquarian Age, we have been told, will save us. But the principle of soil says that if the humans cannot maintain the soil of the planet, they cannot live here...Human society must have as its central value, a responsibility to maintain the soil.
Until then we are just counting our days. And for those who need no convincing, The Final Empire is a beautifully illustrated and thoughtful work, confidently pointing the way to a new sustainable culture.

Richard:Another one of The Beatles' quirky, not quite all there, odd-bod songs, but it's a brilliant one nonetheless, almost peerless in comparison to other music from the era - 1967-68, except for perhaps music by The Kinks.
The Beatles music at this stage of their career was very experimental, using all sorts of interesting instruments and vocal ideas and themes. 'Fixing A Hole' extends the idea of the psychedelic movement right from the start with the line "I'm fixing a hole where the rain comes in, to stop my mind from wondering...", "..where it will go". Sparking ideas of heavy LSD sessions, probably just sitting around watching water come in through the roof, trying to resolve the problem instead of just sitting there getting wet. The record, in that sense then, is pretty pro-active and positive. And like so much of The Beatles work is shows the massive amount of energy that was stored up by the band.
The Beatles never shoe gaze that's for sure, and this quirky, boppy track adds a fresh feel, a lemon juice twang to any record collection or play list. The track starts off with the now famous fairground organs, followed by those lines about the rain coming in. It's a light, breezy, perhaps even a rather choppy cruise of a record. Some nice but rather basic clangy guitar work chugs things along, light percussion tattles the track forward, and those vocals give us all the real glossy audible vibes.
It's a simple track in fact, led mostly by the vocals and lyrics, but nonchalantly beguiling - you don't need to do much to like or be charmed by this record.
The album, well what can be said about that? Brilliant. Another Beatles gem. A masterpiece. Any more superlatives required, invent them yourself.

The Mediterranean Diet is praised by many doctors and nutritionist across the nation, and new research reveals how it may also cut the risk for diabetes as well.
A study published in the Jan. 7 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine, reveals that a Mediterranean diet that includes extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) is associated with a reduction in the risk of new onset diabetes among older adults at a high risk for cardiovascular disease.
Researchers studied 3,541 patients without diabetes, aged 55–80 years, at high cardiovascular disease risk.
The participants were place on one of three diets—Mediterranean diet enriched with nuts, a control diet (low-fat dietary advice), and Mediterranean diet enriched with EVOO.
The researchers concluded that a Mediterranean diet enriched with EVOO but without energy restrictions was the most effective in reducing diabetes risk among persons with high cardiovascular risk.
The Mediterranean diet is praised by Dr. Mehmet Oz, and study after study has confirmed its ability to aid in preventing chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's.

Army junior Chris Nguyen was named Male Diver of the Week for the fifth time this season Monday.
Jan. 18, 2012
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. -- The countdown to the 2012 Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships began in earnest last week, as several League squads went head-to-head against one another, while Navy continued testing itself against some of the top programs in the country.
Patriot League Swimming and Diving Release - 1.18.12
Bucknell and Colgate split against one another in Hamilton, N.Y., last Wednesday, with the Bison men earning the 205-85 victory while the Raiders won 165-133 on the women's side. The week's slate of League matchups continued Friday, as Army posted a pair of victories over visiting Lehigh at West Point. The Black Knights were victorious on the men's side 167.5-127.5, while posting a 171-129 win in the women's competition.
Saturday was one of the busiest days in quite some time on the schedule. Army settled for a combined 2-2 weekend against League foes as Bucknell came in and posted a 160.5-134.5 victory on the men's side and a 198-97 triumph on the women's.
The Navy men continued their impressive showings against nationally-ranked opponents, as they captured a 155-145 win at No. 23 Penn State in Happy Valley Saturday afternoon. As a whole Navy settled for a split as the Mids fell 237-63 in the women's competition. In addition, the Navy women went up against No. 20 Arkansas at Penn State and was defeated 232.5-67.5.
American posted a strong day Saturday, as the Eagle men defeated Georgetown (152-142) and VMI (187.5-109.5). The American women went 1-2 on the day, picking up a 207-41 victory against VMI while dropping meets to Georgetown (197.5-98.5) and host James Madison (182-86).
Colgate's busy weekend started Saturday with losses at home to local rival Cornell. The Raiders lost 196.5-100.5 in the men's portion of the meet and 175-125 on the women's side. Colgate rebounded Sunday to split with Binghamton, earning a 180-114 victory in the women's portion of the meet while losing 177-121 to the Bearcats on the men's side.
Bucknell, like Colgate, had three meets in five days. After sweeping Army at West Point Saturday, the Bison returned home and were handed a pair of losses. The Bucknell men fell 129.5-111.5 to Columbia, while the women lost 155-83 to Rutgers.
Lafayette returns to competition for the first time since Nov. 18 against Lehigh when the Leopards host Stony Brook Wednesday at 2 p.m. That meet starts another busy stretch for Patriot League teams, although the schedule seems slightly less packed than last week's.
Holy Cross returns to competition for the first time in over a month when it hosts the Worcester City Championships at the Hart Center Pool beginning Friday at 6 p.m. The meet will continue Saturday.
Army stays home to host Drexel Friday at 6 p.m., then welcomes League rival American, Old Dominion and George Mason for a quad meet Saturday starting at 1 p.m.
Colgate and Navy are idle this weekend, but the Midshipwomen will get set to host Johns Hopkins Wednesday, Jan. 25 at 5 p.m. in Annapolis.
Patriot League Weekly Awards
MAC ANTHONY, NAVY Sr., Allentown, Pa.
Another week and another award for Anthony, who garnered the Male Swimmer of the Week nod for the third straight time and fifth overall this season. He won a pair of individual events and swam the anchor leg of the Mids' victorious 400 freestyle relay which clinched a 155-145 victory over No. 23 Penn State Saturday in University Park, Pa. Anthony won the 200 free by 2.18 seconds with a time of 1:38.81, just off the NCAA B-cut standard, and took the 500 free in 4:32.33, clearing the field by 2.36 seconds. He swam the anchor leg of the 400 free relay in 44.34, the second-fastest time of the race. Anthony is now 7-0 in the 200 free this season, which includes victories over swimmers from nationally-ranked programs Virginia, Princeton and Penn State.
RYAN MARYNOWSKI, COLGATE Jr., White Plains, N.Y.
Marynowski enjoyed her best showing of the season to date for Colgate, as she collected first-place finishes in all six events in which she competed. She started the week by capturing both the 100 and 200 flys against Bucknell, helping lift the Raiders to a 165-133 win. She clocked a time of 57.27 in the 100 fly and touched the wall in 2:02.23 in the 200. On Saturday against Cornell, she won the 100 and 200 flys again with time of 57.71 and 2:04.67, respectively. She finished her weekend with a pair of first-place showings as the Raiders defeated Binghamton 180-114. Marynowski swam the 100 back in 59.73 to take first, and added a win in the 200 back in 2:08.85.
CHRIS NGUYEN, ARMY Jr., Cheshire, Conn.
Nguyen collects his fifth Male Diver of the Week award after capturing three wins from the boards against competitors from Patriot League rivals Lehigh and Bucknell last week. He started the week by taking third from the one-meter board against Lehigh with 291.90 points, but rebounded with a first-place showing of 344.55 points to win the three-meter against the Mountain Hawks Friday. A day later against visiting Bucknell, Nguyen swept the boards, scoring 306.97 from the one-meter and 366.60 from the three-meter against the Bison. Both his scores against Bucknell exceeded the NCAA Zone qualifying marks.
KATIE HETHERINGTON, BUCKNELL Fr., Houston, Texas
Hetherington swept the one- and three-meter boards against a pair of Patriot League rivals last week. She captured both events against Colgate on Wednesday, scoring 223.49 points from the one-meter board and tallying 245.48 in the three-meter competition. She improved her scores Saturday against Army, winning from the one-meter with 255.06 points and taking the three-meter with 273.75. She wrapped up her week Sunday at home against Rutgers, taking second in the three-meter competition and sixth from the one-meter board. Hetherington now has six victories in 10 outings from both boards. She already holds the school records in both events.
THOMAS BROWN, BUCKNELL Sr., Ridgefield, Conn.
Brown finished in the top two in all six individual events in which he competed last week, including four victories. He won the 200 IM versus Colgate (1:57.56), the 100 and 200 backs against Army (51.42 and 1:52.18, respectively) and the 200 back (1:51.89) versus Columbia.
KELLIE DARMODY, NAVY Jr., Charlotte, N.C.
Darmody posted a time of 56.92 in the 100 back, which took first place against No. 20 Arkansas and placed third against Penn State. She also took second in the 200 back in 2:03.07, which was second against the Razorbacks and third versus the Nittany Lions.
DAN SWEENEY, COLGATE Jr., New Canaan, Conn.
Sweeney collected five wins in three meets last week, including picking up a first-place showing in the 50 free in 21.51 against Bucknell. He tallied three wins Sunday in Colgate's 177-121 loss to Binghamton.
MING ONG, AMERICAN Jr., Pymble, Australia
Ong won three events during a tri-meet at James Madison, where the Eagles picked up victories over Georgetown and VMI. He swept the 100 and 200 breaststroke events with time of 1:00.25 and 2:12.68, respectively, while taking the 200 IM in 1:56.12.
Patriot League Notebook
Now that Christmas and New Year's are behing everybody, the swimming and diving schedule hit its usual January stride last week with several meets featuring Patriot League teams going head-to-head in anticipation of next month's championships at Navy. Colgate and Bucknell met in Hamilton, N.Y., last Wednesday with the teams splitting, while Army won both meets against Lehigh Friday at West Point. Bucknell then picked up a sweep of Army on the road on Saturday. League foes will continue getting acquainted with one another this week, with Lehigh hosting Bucknell Saturday, while American heads to Army as part of a quad meet that also features George Mason and Old Dominion. Both meets are set for 1 p.m.
Tickets for the 2012 Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships are now on sale through the Navy Ticket Office. An all-session pass costs $35, while individual tickets are also available for the individual trials sessions ($8) and finals sessions ($10). The swimming and diving championships take place Thursday-Saturday, Feb. 16-18 from Navy's Lejeune Hall in Annapolis, Md. Trial sessions begin at 10:30 a.m., while the finals start at 6 p.m. Students who come to Lejeune Hall with a valid student ID card will be admitted for free. For more information, call the Navy Ticket Office at 1-800-US4-NAVY.
Top times for the student-athletes in the Patriot League are available by going to the Patriot League Swimming and Diving homepage at http://www.patriotleague.org/sports/c-swim/patr-c-swim-body.html. There fans can find the Top Times link in the sidebar on the right side of the page underneath the standings. That will bring up CollegeSwimming.com. To find the League's top times in all swimming events, make sure to change the conference setting to "PL."
Navy junior Laura Gorinski set three Patriot League records while she and her teammates combined to break 25 others as the Mids rolled to a 226.5-73.5 victory at Army in the annual Star Meet between the Academy Rivals in December. Gorinski set League benchmarks in the 100- and 200-yard breaststrokes (1:00.72 and 2:11.10, respectively), along with the 200 individual medley (2:00.33). She now owns three individual League records, the most of any student-athlete, ahead of Erin McGraw of Colgate and Tara Chapmon of Navy, who have two individual marks apiece. All three of Gorinski's records are faster than those on the League Championship list, meaning she could be gearing up for a big performance when Navy hosts this season's meet next month at Lejeune Hall.
Last year in early December, Navy's Laura Gorinski competed at the U.S. Short and Long Course National Championships in Columbus, Ohio. During the long course portion of the competition in a 50-meter pool, Gorinski qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100- and 200-meter breaststroke events. Bucknell senior Matthew Segar will join Gorinski at the Olympic Trials after his performance in early December at the U.S. Winter Nationals in Atlanta. He qualified for an opportunity to vie for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team after clocking a 1:52.24 in the preliminaries of the 200-meter freestyle, an event in which he eventually placed 29th.
Another Patriot League swimmer who is working toward potentially representing his country in the 2012 Summer Olympics is Colgate senior captain Costas Hadjipateras. Hadjipateras swam in three events earlier this season at the International Meeting at Alexandria in Athens, Greece, where he won the 200-meter butterfly in 2:05.00. Born in New York City and hailing from New Canaan, Conn., Hadjipateras qualified for the European Grand Prix in Munich, Germany in March, while his time in the 200 fly currently seeds him fifth for the Greek Olympic Trials, scheduled for May in Athens.
The Navy men extended their record run to eight consecutive Patriot League Championships last season when they captured the trophy at Bucknell. Meanwhile, the Colgate women have won the League crown three out of the last four years and are aiming for another trip to the top spot on the awards podium. The Navy men collected the maximum 98 points and 14 first-place votes, with Army (second, 83 points) and Bucknell (third, 73) splitting the remaining two. Lehigh was picked fourth with 59 points, followed by Colgate (56), Lafayette (33), American (32) and Holy Cross (14). On the women's side, Colgate finished first in the preseason poll with 95 points and 13 first-place votes, but the host Mids were right behind with 87 points and the last three first-place ballots. It was the Mids who snapped Colgate's two-year championship run by winning the trophy in 2010, when the League meet was last held in Annapolis, Md. Bucknell took third in the women's preseason voting with 74 points, while Army was fourth with 60. Rounding out the poll was Lehigh in fifth with 46 points, American in sixth with 45, followed by Lafayette (seventh, 27) and Holy Cross (eighth, 14).

I like when my porn doesn't take itself too seriously. This site is a humorous parody that will have you wetting your panties and slapping something other than your knee from something other than mere laughter. Solo, lesbian and hardcore sex ends up being no laughing matter in the climax of every red-hot scene. As is the fact that there is so little content.Full review
If you're looking for real classic porn, you won't find that here. Sure, some haircuts are out of style and there are loads of hairy bushes, but it doesn't seem very old. Instead, the main attraction in these mostly HD videos is that mature men and older women have sex with younger partners. You get some bonus sites, but the main collection needs to grow.Full review
You just can't replace the good old days of porn and this site shows you exactly why. You'll see various babes from decades ago posing in all sorts of naughty outfits and some even pose butt-naked and expose their hairy muffs and big boobs. It's a photo-only site and the design won't make you say "wow," but fans of vintage material will enjoy what they see.Full review
You pay for a ticket, sit down and realize the flick on the screen would be better with real sucking and fucking. The fun Hollywood movie parodies here put all the wet pussies and big dicks where they belong. These blockbusters have turned into cockbusters with your favorite characters having hardcore fun. But with such little content the site isn't worth it.Full review
You're bound to recognize a few of the classic pornstars in the decades-old porn on this site. Browse around and take a step back to the good ol' horny days. Hairy pussies, moustaches and story lines are the norm among content that has stood the test of porn time. You can rediscover some of your old favorites and even catch old flicks for the very first time.Full review
Go back to the beginning of pornography when the film stock was black and white and shooting dirty pictures could get you arrested. Watch old-time stag films dating back to the birth of pornography and throughout the first half of the 20th century. The films may be grainy, but the action is certainly hot and it's a worthwhile site if you like classic porn.Full review
This fun website provides you with porn parodies of some of your favorite TV shows, including the Beverly Hillbillies and Monday Night Football. The movies you get access to as a member are easy on the eyes. They also feature some good acting and great licking, sucking and fucking. Unfortunately, the site is small and it hasn't updated in quite some time now.Full review
At one point, people could only watch pornos in dark movie theaters on the wrong side of town. Now the porn from that bygone era can be viewed on your PC via a site that has a slightly unfriendly user interface. Classic scenes sampled from films and VHS tapes with pornstars like Seka and super-hung John Holmes are turned into often good-quality footage.Full review
What you've got here is an original site that shows everyday people playing a kinky version of Truth or Dare. It provides you with videos that are a lot of fun, but you should know that there are few vids to check out and those that you do get aren't very high in quality. Still, you might want to give the site a quick look, simply because it's so different.Full review
This site brings you erotic tales that are sure to excite you. Each story comes with six good-looking pictures that were illustrated by a talented artist. The stories and drawings are exclusive to the site, so you won't find them elsewhere. Updates stopped in 2012 and it's a bit expensive, but it's a unique concept if you like your porn told to you in words.Full review
Travel back in time to a simpler age when the hair was feathered, the breasts always real and the pussies as bushy as the moustaches. This vintage porn collection covers from the late '60s to the early '80s. You can relive those happy, horny times here, but the pics look average and age is only partly to blame. In the end, there are better classic porn sites.Full review
These sexy chicks are all fully clothed when their videos begin, but soon they're cutting, ripping and shredding their blouses, stockings, skirts, dresses and undies until they're pretty much nude. You can watch as big tits and bare bottoms get exposed in hundreds of photo sets and vids (newer ones offering great-quality files). Come and check it out.Full review
There's something particularly sweet about a honey with extremely tiny titties. Maybe it's because when they melons are that small, they're snack-sized and ready to go for hands-on fun. If you're a small cup connoisseur in need of mini jugs, there are a modest number flat-chested babes all ready to strip down to show you their petite bods and cute lil' racks.Full review

Colorado has twenty five scenic byways, ten of which fall on the national America's Byways program, designated for their historic, cultural, natural, archaeological, recreational, and scenic qualities. In the first article of this group, I covered the Colorado River Headwaters Byway. Our second favorite accessible byway in the state is the Flat Tops Trail in Northwestern Colorado, which stretches from Meeker to Yampa along the northside of the White River, over Ripple Creek and Dunkley Passes, through the White River and Routt National Forests.
This is a beautiful drive, with staggering views of the Flat Tops, a sawed-off looking range of mountains that rise to over 12,000 feet. The elevation climb of the drive alone is spectacular; Meeker sits at 6249', rising up to 10,343' at Ripple Creek Pass, and back down to 7892' in Yampa. The small, rural towns along the way offer limited lodging and dining, but this short 80 mile stretch of is through one of the most beautiful sections of Colorado.
In Meeker, there are several lodging options, as there are in Yampa, so you can start/end in either town, depending on where you're headed afterwards. The Rustic Lodge and the White River Inn in Meeker both have an ADA room with accessible bathroom and parking. The Mesa House Bed and Breakfast has a brand new ADA suite but not designated parking (much of that is due to lack of paving in these rural areas). The Sleepy Cat Guest Ranch has two doable cabins with a small threshold in the entrance. All the dining is accessible in Meeker, as is the Museum and the Town Park. Don't miss breakfast from the Meeker Bakery, and the best burgers at Clark's.
From Meeker, the road takes you along the flattest stretch of the tour to Buford, which only offers the Buford Store and Lodge, which, laughingly, is only accessible if you bring your own ramp, but many people actually do, including one regular customer.
From there you climb up to Ripple Creek Pass, where there is only accessible lodging at the Vaugh Lake and White River Campgrounds, the Ripple Creek Lodge is not accessible. The interpretive signage along this route is either accessible by road or accessible trail, as is the signage along the next section, Dunkley Pass. The East Fork Trail here is not accessible, but the rest stop is.
The next town of Phippsburg is brief, blink and you might miss it! There isn't any accessible lodging or dining in "P-Burg," but from here you're just a short distance from Yampa, where the Oak Tree Inn has two ADA rooms and the Van Camp Cabins have four cabins that are accessible.
The food in Yampa is legendary in the area; the Antlers Cafe and Penny's Diner are must-stops, and both fully accessible with restrooms. Weston's Country Corner is accessible but without an accessible restroom, and the Flat Tops Restaurant is at the Royal Hotel, which isn't accessible, but the restaurant is, including restroom.
Also in Yampa, the museum has a tight path of travel but is do-able, and the Ranger's office is fully accessible and hosts naturalists and information on the area.
This tour definitely puts the scenic in Scenic Byway, but keep reading, the Gold Belt Tour and the Los Caminos Antiguos byways are next up...

Tuesday Jan. 7 the Urban Daily reports Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy has been arrested for false imprisonment, battery, and making terroristic threats to his teenage son.
According to police documents obtained by TMZ representative, Jeezy got into a fight with his son in a bathroom and he threw him into the glass shower door, causing the son to hit his head. He then allegedly punched the teenager in the face, dragged him into the bedroom, threw him on the bed and pummeled him.
The police report also says Jeezy choked the boy while threatening to kill him. Jeezy allegedly screamed, "I will kill you. I will put a bullet through your head right now. If I could get away with it, I would kill you."
The incident allegedly took place back in September of 2012 however, Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, did not turn himself in to authorities until Friday after a grand jury warrant for each charge was issued. He made bail set to the tune of $45, 000. Jeezy lawyer responded to the situation stating, "We have no doubt this matter will resolve itself appropriately. At this moment, Mr. Jenkins is thankful for the support of his fans and the respect for his family's privacy."

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Golf's governing bodies, worried that players will turn to long putters as an advantage instead of a last resort, proposed a new rule Wednesday that would ban the putting stroke used by three of the last five major champions.
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and the U.S. Golf Association said the rule would not outlaw belly putter or broom-handle putters, only the way they are currently used. The proposed rule would make it illegal for golfers to anchor the club while making a stroke and not take effect until 2016.
"More players are using it, and instructors are saying this is a more efficient way to putt because you don't have to control the whole stroke," USGA executive director Mike Davis said. "The game has been around for 600 years. Fundamentally, we don't think this is the right way to go."
Orville Moody won the 1989 U.S. Senior Open using a long putter that he held against his chest, allowing for a pendulum motion. Paul Azinger won the 2000 Sony Open with a putter that he pressed into his belly. Long putters began getting serious attention last year when Keegan Bradley became the first player to win a major with a belly putter at the PGA Championship. This year, Webb Simpson won the U.S. Open and Ernie Els won the British Open using belly putters.
"Our objective is to preserve the skill and challenge," R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said. "This rule is not performance related. This is about defining the game defining what is a stroke."
The long putters are not being banned. The rule relates to the actual stroke, not the equipment. Players can use a broom putter as long as it is not anchored to the chest.
Davis and Dawson said the catalyst for the new rule was not who was winning tournaments, but the number of players switching to long putters.
Their research showed no more than 4 percent of golfers used the clubs for several years. It went to 6 percent in 2006, and then to 11 percent in 2011, with some PGA Tour events having as much as 20 percent of the players using the long clubs. There was no empirical data to suggest a long putter made golf easier. Carl Pettersson (No. 21) and Bradley (No. 27) were the only players among the top 30 in putting this year on the PGA Tour who used long putters.
"We don't think putting in an anchored way is easy. You have to learn how to do it," Dawson said. "But it takes one of the potential frailties out of the stroke ... We have to retain the skill and challenge inherent in golf."
The R&A and USGA will take comments for three months on the proposed rule before it is approved. Because the Rules of Golf are updated every four years, any ban on the anchored stroke would not take effect for another four years.
The PGA Tour, European Tour and LPGA Tour said it would evaluate the proposed rule with its players. The PGA Tour has a mandatory players meeting in San Diego at the end of January. The PGA of America, meanwhile, said it was concerned that such a ban would drive people from the game.
"As our mission is to grow the game ... we are asking them to seriously consider the impact this proposed ban may have on people's enjoyment of the game and the overall growth of the game," PGA president Ted Bishop said.
The decision figures to be divisive at the highest level.
Tim Clark of South Africa and Pettersson have used broom putters their entire careers, and they have suggested a new rule would affect their livelihoods. Els once mocked Vijay Singh for using a long putter, but then Els switched to a belly putter last year when his putting suffered.
"As long as it's legal, I'll cheat like the rest of them," he said.

Rare photos of Paul McCartney as a young boy, early shots of the Beatles and photos of the pre-Beatles Quarrymen will be among the rarities to be sold in this year's Liverpool Beatles Auction, the Beatles Shop, which sponsors the auction, told Beatles Examiner June 4. The auction will take place in August.
A very young Paul McCartney is featured in a class photograph from Joseph Williams School in 1953. You can see him fourth from the left on the top row. According to The Beatles Shop, the photo dates from the last year of his junior school days before he moved up to the Liverpool Institute after passing the 11 plus exam.
"As a memento of this class, the reverse of this photograph has been signed by all the pupils," The Beatles Shop told us. "This includes what is probably one of the earliest example of Paul's signature, tucked away in the bottom left hand corner."
The Beatles Shop says interest in Beatles school items is always high. They say the value of this item is between £1,500 to £1,750 ($2,512 to $2,930 USD). Additionally, in a separate sale, the auction is also selling a Liverpool Institute Green Book that includes the names of both Paul McCartney and brother Michael who were students there.
One item that has gotten a lot of buzz, thanks to a Liverpool Echo article, is a photograph of the Beatles, then with Pete Best as drummer, and some teenage fans that was taken at St John's Hall in Tuebrook, Liverpool in 1961. The negative for this image and the copyright along with four other negatives taken the same night is up for sale in the auction. The value of the five negatives is estimated at £1,750 to £2,500 ($2,930 to $4,186 USD.)
Also featured will be three very rare vintage prints of photographs of the Quarrymen. The photos are of the band, including a young John Lennon, performing in Rosebery Street in June 1957 to celebrate 750 years since Liverpool was issued its charter by King John. The pictures were taken before Paul McCartney or George Harrison joined the group. The value of the photos is £175 to £225 ($293 to $377) each.
The 2014 Liverpool Beatles Auction will be held beginning at 10 a.m. Aug. 23 at The Paul McCartney Auditorium at The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts in Liverpool. Items will be available for public viewing from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Paul McCartney Auditorium.

About eGov
This website serves as a one-stop resource portal on Singapore's e-Government development.
Infocomm technology (ICT) has been very much a part of the Singapore public sector's DNA for public administration and service delivery. As a result of our e-government efforts, Singapore has been consistently recognised as a leader in major international benchmarking studies. Our innovative efforts in using ICT have also garnered local and worldwide accolades and awards. Internationally, Singapore continued to stay within top 5 of the various international e-Government rankings.
Singapore's e-government journey started in the early 80s with the goal of transforming the Government into a world-class user of information technology. The Civil Service Computerisation Programme (CSCP) performed business process re-engineering with automation of work functions and reduced paperwork for greater internal operational efficiencies.
The late 90s saw the convergence of information technology and telecommunications which transformed the concept of service delivery. This paved the way for the launch of the e-Government Action Plan (2000 - 2003) and the e-Government Action Plan II (2003 - 2006). The key objective of the first plan was to roll out as many public services online as possible, while the emphasis of the second plan was to further improve the service experience of customers.
iGov2010 Masterplan (2006 - 2010) built on this strong foundation and focused on creating an Integrated Government that works seamlessly behind the scene to serve customers better. During this period, mobile services were introduced to ride on the high mobile phone penetration rate to offer customers an additional channel for accessing public services.
The eGov2015 Masterplan (2011-2015) aims to be a Collaborative Government which facilitates greater co-creation and interaction between the Government, the people and the private sector to bring about greater value creation for Singapore. It ushers in a new era, where the Government aims to shift from a "Government-to-You" approach to a "Government-with-You" approach in the delivery of government e-services. The goal is to facilitate more co-creation and interaction between the Government, the people and the private sector to bring about greater value creation for Singapore and our people.

In 1633, at the end of one of the most famous trials in history, the Inquisition condemned Galileo for contending that the Earth moves and that the Bible is not a scientific authority. Galileo's condemnation set off a controversy that has acquired a fascinating life of its own and that continues to this day. This absorbing book is the first to examine the entire span of the Galileo affair from his condemnation to his alleged rehabilitation by the Pope in 1992. Filled with primary sources, many translated into English for the first time,Retrying Galileowill acquaint readers with the historical facts of the trial, its aftermath and repercussions, the rich variety of reflections on it throughout history, and the main issues it raises.

I know this is rather a long shot, but can anybody identify the twig below. The tree/shrub it was attached to was growing in my parents garden until recently (it blew down!) and they would like to replace it. The tree (?) was about 6m tall.

Regional Music from the mountain tops of Nepal
Hidden in the remote villages and high mountains of Nepal is a musical legacy even more varied and richer than its acclaimed natural beauty. Even today, Nepal's musical heritage remains under-appreciated, by both national and international audiences. The instruments, rhythms and melodies found in the "lok geet" or folk music of the Nepal Hills reflect a thousand years of cross-polinization between distinct, yet ultimately complimentary, musical heritages.
Nepal has nearly 40 different ethnic groups and multiple religions and languages. As such, the music of Nepal is similarly varied and multi-leveled ranging from Nepalese folk to pop music to religious music and even Nepalese classical music. Nepalese music has been greatly influenced by the musical genres of Tibet and India.
For such a musically diverse area, Nepal has in fact several castes of musicians. And these influence the type of music that is produced . The damai, who are both musicians and tailors, and the gaine, who were originally fisherman but are now traveling minstrels. The gaine -- who typically play the sarangi , a four-stringed, hand-carved instrument -- generally perform in exchange for food or other necessesities. Damai are perhaps best-known for their participation in panchai baja , a form of wedding band consisting of drums , horns cymbals and shawms -- an oboe-like instrument with a wide conical bore that emits a particularly loud, nasal-sounding tone.
The highly-ritualized wedding ceremony includes a specific tune for the panchai baja to play in each section. In Kathmandu Valley for example , the panchai baja has been supplanted by brass bands. Of note -- Nepali women do not play music except for in specific situations, such as at the traditional all-female wedding parties.
