.Tracee is a runaway bride and kleptomaniac. Lana's an audacious beauty and a recovering alcoholic. Rita is a holy-roller minister's wife, desperate to escape her marriage and discover whether she actually has a mind of her own.
One warm summer's night, these three women go on the lam together. Their car breaks down on a rural highway in North Carolina and they're forced to seek shelter in a seemingly abandoned nightclub. Which is where they meet Marcel. And soon everything changes.
Marcel, you see, is a lion, a retired circus performer stuck in a cage in this godforsaken roadhouse. And through admiration - one might even say love - for Marcel, our heroines find a way to confront their complicated pasts and fight for the strange, embracing relationships they've formed out in the middle of nowhere. They ultimately navigate their way back to their own hearts - and ours.
Written with the deftness, humor, and sparkling wit that have marked her books, plays, and movies, Delia Ephron's "The Lion Is In" is an unforgettable story of friendship, courage, love - and learning to salsa with the king of the jungle.
About the Author
Delia Ephron is a critically acclaimed novelist and screenwriter. Her most recent book, Frannie in Pieces, received four starred reviews, was a Book Sense Pick, and was named to the New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age list. She is also the author of Big City Eyes, Hanging Up, and How to Eat Like a Child. Her screenwriting credits include The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, You've Got Mail, Bewitched, Hanging Up, and Michael. She lives in New York City with her husband and their dog, Honey Pansy Cornflower Bernice Mambo Kass.
Praise For…
Praise for THE LION IS IN by Delia Ephron: "One of the sharpest observers of human behavior around, Ephron, with her trademark mastery of smart, snappy dialogue, delivers a read-in-one-sitting, feel-good celebration of resiliency and hope."
—Booklist "Three women embark on a journey of self-discovery, facilitated by a giant feline, in Ephron's whimsical but winsome third novel."—Kirkus Reviews "Imagine if Siegfried & Roy had written Water for Elephants … The Lion Is In is off to the races from the first sentence. [A] fun ride."—Tampa Bay Times
"The best kind of chick lit — an engaging feminist romance from which the reader emerges with a welcome mood boost. Twinkling with wit and warmth, it also packs a moral punch: We need to forgive not just each other, but ourselves, make amends wherever we can and just ease the heck up already."—Newark Star Ledger "Ephron fans and newcomers alike will find plenty to enjoy in this fun, refreshing, and incredibly touching read."—Publisher's Weekly "This wistfully wacky story features a stolen wedding dress, AA meetings, a driving instructor as romantic hero, a cranky nightclub owner and a God-fearing villain. As Marcel roars his wisdom, each woman becomes brave enough to free herself from her own cage."—More "Readers seeking a heartfelt, offbeat adventure will adore Ephron's fragile but feisty heroines…The perfect getaway for readers who long to reconnect with their inner selves, this quirky comedy's sense of wonder will delight and inspire."—Shelf Awareness "Sweet, satisfying, and worth the wait."—New York Times Book Review

Only official finishers of "The Toughest 48 Hours in Sport" are awarded, and may wear, the exclusive Furnace Creek 508 cycling jersey. Above, L-R: Team Hammer Frogs, solo men's champ Chris Ram Ragsdale, and mens' runner-up Michael Alpine Ibex Emde in 2009.
Sometimes simple is powerful, so in 2015 we simply swapped out a few colors from 2014 and - Bingo! - we had an awesome new design!
In 2014 we moved this iconic, historic race to the "Silver State," Nevada. As such, we tasked Marcus Edvalson with updating his 2011 redesign to reflect the new landscape of the race.
For 2013, the thirtieth anniversary of the race, we updated the 2001 jersey (which was based upon Jonathan Boyer's RAAM 1985 jersey) and, of course, had it produced by PACE Sportswear.
In 2012 we also excitedly brought PACE Sportswear back on board to produce our official finisher jerseys and other cycling apparel! This brought us back to our roots as PACE produced the jerseys for this event from 1984 through 1994, but also now our garments are Made In The USA and sourced locally, from southern California! We had Pace produce a royal purple version of the super popular design from 2009 and 2010.
The 2011 jersey was deisgned by Marcus Edvalson, a veteran rider and staffer of AdventureCORPS events who is a brand and identity expert, art director, and very accomplished graphic artist. The jersey features the entire suite of new Furnace Creek 508 logos (note the difference between the front and back of the jersey, as well as the shoulder logos) which Marcus also created. Bravo, Marcus, and onward and upward, 508 and 508ers! More about Marcus.
The 2009 jersey was so popular, looked so good, and so well reflected the spirit of The 508, we brought it back in a different color combo in 2010. Again, as I've always seen ultra sports as a modern day quest, we wanted to hark back to the days of the knights and chivalry with the shield graphic. Produced by Hincapie Sports.
We were a little bit influenced by the Swiss National Team jersey for this design, but more than anything, as I've always seen ultra sports as a modern day quest, we wanted to hark back to the days of the knights and chivalry with the shield graphic. Coincidentally, black and white is very "in" these days. Produced by Hincapie Sports.
For our 25th anniversary, we wanted something really classic and timeless. This was also the first time that the new race slogan - "The Toughest 48 Hours in Sport" - was featured on the jersey. This ties with 2001 as my all-time favorite 508 jersey. Produced by Hincapie Sports.
We'd hever had orange in the mix, so we tried that as a high-visibility, and hopefully unique, approach in 2007. Produced by Louis Garneau.
I was at a loss to dream up a new design for 2006, so I used a stock Louis Garneau design with logos added into the mix. It came out quite nicely, but by chance was a bit reminiscent of the Discovery Channel Team jersey that year. We also made an aternate "Veteran" edition that year, shown at right, for veterans racers from previous years who wanted a new jersey. Produced by Louis Garneau.
A few people have asked about the logo inside some of the dots in the polka dot design (as well as on the back of the 2005 508 hat and very small on the back of the 2005 508 shirt). I was inspired to use it because of its French connections (as we were knocking off the TdF's polka dot jersey design this year), because it was used by the Free French Air Force during WWII, and because it was the "team ring" symbol from Magnum, PI (worn by all the guys from Tom Selleck's Magnum character's Viet Nam unit). Way back when, it was used by the Knights Templar and more recently a simple version of it is used as the American Lung Association logo, an organization for which I used to work as an event promoter. To me, all of those uses represent "fighting the good fight" and that's why I think it's a good motif for the 508, an event I like to refer to as "heaven on earth" and "a spiritual odyssey." Ultimately, though, the beauty of any symbol is that its meaning is entirely up to its observer. Click here regarding the Magnum PI connection (which sounds corny, I suppose, but it means a lot to me). Produced by Louis Garneau.
This jersey harked back to the 2001 jersey, without being quite so "All-American" in style. Produced by Louis Garneau.
As in 2002, this jersey featured all the totems which had been utilized at Furnace Creek 508, from their first use in 1993 through the 2003 editions. Produced by Louis Garneau.
This jersey featured all the totems which had been utilized at Furnace Creek 508, from their first use in 1993 through the 2002 editions. We went back to the red, black, and white color combo of 1999, but with much less white. Produced by Voler.
This design was a knock-off of the jersey worn by Jonathan Boyer during the 1985 Race Across America. I (Chris Kostman) was the RAAM Race Official "in charge of" Boyer during that race. As such, I drove along in a car for nine days from Huntington Beach to Atlantic City, watching Boyer, a Tour de France professional, compete in a dark duel with ultracycling legend Michael Secrest. Boyer's jersey had the same stars and stripes motif, with yellow accents. Produced by Kucharilk.
This was identical to the 1999 jersey, except blue, white, and black, instead of red, white, and black. I loved the 1999 jersey, so we "recycled" the art. Nobody else knew this, until now, but I was tipping my hat to Lon Haldeman with this color combination, as these were Lon's colors in his 1982 Great American Bike Race and 1983 Race Across America victories. Produced by Kucharilk.
This jersey was the first which I really designed myself. It was an almost identical knock-off the Bridgestone Cycles USA jersey which I received when I sponsored by Bridgestone in 1992-1994. When I send a vest version of this jersey to Grant Petersen, who had run Bridgestone back then, he laughed and told me that he had knocked off the Cilo cycling team jersey from Switzerland when he designed the Bridgestone jersey. I also chose these colors because red, white, and black, were always RAAM legend Michael Secrest's colors. Secrest won the original 508 in 1983, then known as the John Marino Open. Produced by Kucharilk.
Designed by Bev Schutte, an artist specializing in art for the cycling industory. It has various ultra racing elements, such as the sun and moon. Produced by Kucharilk.
Designed by Bev Schutte, an artist specializing in art for the cycling industory. It has various desert elements, such as the sun, fire, and desert animals. This was the first 508 jersey to feature "AdventureCORPS" as our company name. Produced by Kucharilk.
Designed by Bev Schutte, an artist specializing in art for the cycling industory. If I recall correctly, the giant "508" text was my idea, and of course the stage coach pulled by cyclists was our logo from the beginning in 1990. The 1996 edition was almost identical; the only difference was the briefly used company name (and corresponding logo) "Chris Kostman Adventure Group." Produced by Aussie.
Prouced by PACE Sportswear. This was the last year we used a silk-screened jersey, before we went to the "fully sublimated" style which allows "warp around" art and a much better look and appearance. This jersey featured our company icon for the first time, as well as similar icons on the back. More on that.
We were still stuck using silk-screening. The slogan on the back, also featured on the t-shirt from that year, was something that popped into my head one day, an alternate of "out of the frying pan and into the fire." Produced by PACE Sportswear.
From the beginning of the race in 1983 through 1994, we were using silk-screening to place the art on the jersey. This not only meant the jersey had to be primarily one color, it also meant the art would be effectively pushed down the chest by the length of the zipper. We did the best we could with th technology of the day. Produced by PACE Sportswear, as was the jersey in all previous years.

No. 9 LSU has a few lineup changes for its game against No. 3 South Carolina on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:06 p.m.
Freshman Lamar Louis of Breaux Bridge will start in place of injured Kwon Alexander at strongside linebacker. Louis gets the start ahead of junior Luke Muncie, who has been limited to special teams in recent games because of a stomach disorder.
Redshirt freshman Trai Turner of New Orleans will start at right guard ahead of Josh Willford (concussion), and senior Josh Dworaczyk of New Iberia will start at left tackle ahead of senior Alex Hurst, who is not dressed out. Hurst us dealing with an unspecified personal issue.
Just two of the five players who started the season on the Tigers offensive line will start against one of the top defensive lines in the country. Sophomore La'El Collins is expected to start at left guard and senior P.J. Lonergan is expected to start at center.
Dworaczyk and Hurst have both started at left tackle since Chris Faulk was lost to a season-ending knee injury. Freshman Vadal Alexander will start at right tackle, which was Hurst's position before Faulk's injury.
The Gamecocks (6-0 and 4-0 in Southeastern Conference) lead the league with 25 sacks. The Tigers are 5-1 and 1-1.
LSU has won a school-record 21 consecutive games in Tiger Stadium. The Tigers, who lost at Florida (14-6) last Saturday have lost consecutive games just once in coach Les Miles' eight seasons.

Running back Brandon Simmons scores a touchdown on a 28-yard run against Kentucky (AP).
Jan. 2, 2009
Notes | Final Stats | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)--Ventrell Jenkins scooped up a fumble and barreled his 285-pound frame 56 yards for the go-ahead touchdown, helping Kentucky win a program-best third straight bowl game with a 25-19 victory over East Carolina on Friday in the Liberty Bowl.
Kentucky (7-6) never led until the fourth quarter, when Myron Pryor forced a fumble with about 3 minutes left. In the scramble for the loose ball, Jenkins came up with it and rumbled down the right sideline untouched for the touchdown.
Lones Seiber's extra point attempt was blocked--the third blocked extra point of the game and second off Seiber's foot.
That gave East Carolina (9-5) plenty of time to drive for the win, but the ensuing kickoff was downed at the 1. The Pirates wound up punting four plays later, and Kentucky picked up a first down before running out the clock.
The victory, which came on the heels of two straight wins in the Music City Bowl behind record-setting quarterback Andre Woodson, gave Rich Brooks a distinction in Kentucky history that even Bear Bryant couldn't claim. Bryant was the only other Wildcats coach to lead the team to three straight bowls, but he only won two of them.
Coming off its first Conference USA championship, East Carolina jumped to a 16-3 halftime lead before failing in its attempt to win a third game this season against a team from a BCS conference. It had already defeated West Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Jenkins was elected the game's Most Valuable Player, but it nearly could have been teammate Micah Johnson getting the nod for what appeared to be his own fumble-return TD. An official review determined East Carolina quarterback Patrick Pinkney was sacked on the play by Memphis native Jeremy Jarmon, so the Pirates retained possession.
Even before that, the Wildcats' defense missed another chance at a game-breaking play in the fourth quarter when Sam Maxwell's interception deep in East Carolina territory was negated by a holding penalty on teammate Winston Guy.
Kentucky saved virtually all its magic for the second half, in every aspect of the game.
David Jones took the second-half kickoff a Liberty Bowl-record 99 yards for a touchdown.
Minutes later, quarterback Mike Hartline, starting for injured freshman Randall Cobb, gave Kentucky its lone offensive TD when he hit Kyrus Lanxter on a crossing pattern for a 19-yard touchdown that tied the game 16-all midway through the third quarter.
Hartline completed 19 of 31 passes for 204 yards and one interception.
Pinkney finished 18-of-36 for 297 yards for East Carolina, most of it going to Davon Drew and Darryl Freeney. Drew caught five passes for 120 yards, and Freeney had five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown.

A PENDLE primary school has waved farewell to its headteacher of 22 years after he was forced to retire due to ill health.
Frank Royle, 61, who has spent more than two decades at the helm of Trawden Forest Primary School, went off ill at the end of the summer term and had cited an intention to return to action after Christmas.
But he has announced his decision to stand down permanently.
He said: "I'm very sad to be leaving such a fantastic school after such a long time, but given recent health issues I'm unable to give the 100 per cent commitment that I feel the children and the staff deserve.
"It does however give me the opportunity to pursue those things I put off whilst working, my wife and I are now looking forward to a long and busy retirement.
"My heart and passion will always be with teaching and I will miss the children and the inspiration they have given me greatly.
"I feel very privileged to have been able to do a job I love for so long and I hope I can still be of help or assistance if called upon."
Mr Royle, who lives in Barrowford, has worked as a teacher in Pendle for 40 years.
Governors at Trawden Forest hailed the 'wonderful' contribution he has made and said his legacy would live on for years to come.
Dominic Lee, chair of the board of governors at the school, said: "The school ethos that he developed is extremely popular and has contributed immeasurably to the experience of hundreds of young people and indeed to the life of the village."
David Whitfield is acting headteacher at the school and an associate is yet to be approved by the governors.

At the age of 8, Joe Sulpy IV was learning to do bodywork in his father's garage. Three years later, he was welding. At 13, he chopped his first top, lowering the roofline of a 1941 Willys sedan.
Before long, Joe IV was running his own business, Joe Sulpy's Custom Paint & Metal Fabrication shop, in Whippany, N.J., where, like his father and his father's father, he was doing custom car modifications.
In part because of the economy and in part because the already too short collector car season on the East Coast seems to being cut even shorter by a succession of rainy weekends, Joe Sulpy IV moved his business in the fall of 2008 from New Jersey to Buckeye, Arizona, just west of Phoenix.
Thirteen months after his move, Joe IV has four vehicle builds underway in his new garage. To showcase his work, he had perhaps the world's most unusual 1957
Chrysler Saratoga on display at the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association's 12th annual Southwest Nationals the weekend of November 20-22 at the WestWorld equestrian and show grounds in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Not only was Sulpy's the most unusual Chrysler on the grounds, it may have been the most unusual of all the 3000 or so vehicles gathered for the Goodguys' season final.
Sulpy's car was a project started by his father, but when Joe III became seriously ill, Joe IV finished the work (and is glad to report that his father has recuperated from his illness).
The car is clone, a tribute to the "Parisienne" created back in the early 1960s by Richard Korkes and his Korky Kustoms shop in New Jersey. Joe Sulpy III as a high school student who used to try to sneak peeks of Korkes' project but was repeatedly chased away by Korkes and his crew.
Korkes started his "Parisienne" project with a 1954 Ford. The Sulpys started with a Chrysler, though all that remains from that vehicle are the frame, the windshield and the tail lamps.
Though the low-slung, landau-roofed car is radical from every angle, what truly sets it apart is the shape of its tail end, with the center point of the rear bumper and fascia set several feet ahead of the trailing edges of the bumper and rear fenders, as though someone took a large pie-shaped slice out of the back of the car.
Like Joe Sulpy IV, Richard Korkes also moved west, not to Arizona but to southern California, where he worked for customizer George Barris as part of the team that created cars such as the Batmobile.
Speaking of Arizona, Joe Sulpy IV has learned that the Korky Kustoms' Parisienne has survived and recently was purchased by a car collector in Tucson, so the original and the clone might end up parked together at a show sometime.
Perhaps even back at Scottsdale the weekend of March 12-14 when the Goodguys open their 2010 season with the inaugural Spring Nationals show.
The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association was founded in 1983 and with more than 70,000 members is the largest such custom car club in the world. The rest of the 2010 schedule includes:
March 27-28, 28th All American Get-Together at Pleasanton, California

Alone in the fold: Many LDS gays struggle to cling to faith despite their yearnings
Most Popular
Most Commented
By Carrie A. Moore, Deseret News
Published: Saturday, Dec. 3 2005 12:00 a.m. MST
Ty Mansfield and Stuart Matis never met, but they were brothers in church and in spirit. They held to the iron rod of their faith and successfully completed LDS missions.
This is a great article and I can feel the pain of those who are convinced that
there is something higher for them than participating in homosexual activities.
Of course the same goes for those who are not homosexual and understand that
there is More..
I am now in my 55 year and have struggled with same gender attraction all my

Four daytime dramas are still shown on network television: 'The Young and the Restless', 'The Bold and the Beautiful', 'General Hospital' and 'Days of Our Lives'. Approximately 13 million people watch their favorite soap (or soaps) on a weekly basis. Yet, one show continues to top the results on a regular basis despite a pocket of fan protests.
Soap opera fans often respond with passion. Their collective addiction is naturally based upon emotion, which is exactly what the serialized television form evokes. Of course, it can't honestly be denied that daytime dramatists have always existed on the screen and in some living rooms (or whatever locations) where these enduring shows have been projected.
The following three-week sample isn't large. It simply represents the most-current set of Nielsen Ratings' numbers that are available:
YR averaged 806,000 more viewers each day than it's spinoff show BB during the week ending June 20, 2014. Per day: YR averaged 4.605 million viewers, BB 3.799 million viewers, GH 3.024 million viewers and Days 2.355 million viewers.
As of the week ending June 27, 2014, YR averaged 976,000 more viewers each day than BB. Per day: YR averaged 4.390 million viewers, BB averaged 3.414 million viewers, GH averaged 2.983 million viewers and Days averaged 2.385 million viewers.
As of the week ending July 4, 2014, YR averaged 872,000 more viewers each day than BB. Per day: YR averaged 4.321 million viewers, BB averaged 3.449 million viewers, GH averaged 2.808 million viewers and Days averaged 2.403 million viewers.
YR still dominates the ratings. The phrase "pocket of fan protests" that was used above is also apt. Despite social media venom that emerged late last year, CBS' 27-year run atop Nielsen's daytime ratings results has continued. As long as a majority of fans keeps this show in first position, it appears that the strong feelings of other viewers won't effect desired changes.
BB benefits from YR's lead-in. Obviously, the show also offers storylines that many find appealing.
ABC wisely placed GH in a schedule spot where it doesn't compete with rival soaps in most TV markets. Clearly this soap has maintained a devoted following.
NBC's Days competes directly for 30, or 60, minutes against CBS' scripted shows in many daytime markets. That doesn't help its cause. However, like GH, this long-running steamer has many loyal followers.
So, at the end of this digital soap story what have readers found? Like every experience, all facts and opinions are almost completely reflective of their own lives. And no one should doubt that their considered conclusions (or those of this author) are believed.

Dog abandoned with 'Free' written on her body reunited with owner
A dog that was found outside a Los Angeles Chinese restaurant with "FREE" and "I need a home" written on her side and forehead has been reunited with her owner.
According to the Los Angeles Times , the dog was reportedly taken in by a woman who found her on the street with the words written on her side and head in black marker.
The dog was found "scared, shaking and kind of whimpering," the woman said, according to Yahoo , so she knew she had to take her home and make an attempt to find her owner.
Photos of the dog went viral on the Internet and were shown on news broadcasts, which is where the dog's owner saw her and realized where she was.
According to the LA Times, the woman said the dog went missing or was stolen in late June while she was having a yard sale at her home. She doesn't know who abandoned the dog or how the dog got about 50 miles from her home to where she was located by her rescuer.
The owner reportedly went to police to claim her dog and showed photos and medical records to prove ownership, LA Times says.
Police have considered charging the owner with animal cruelty, but they now believe she was not involved in the abandonment, Yahoo reports.
"The owner was very happy (when she claimed her dog)," Benicia Police Department Lt. Mike Greene said, according to the the LA times. "It was obvious the owner cared for the dog."
The woman who cared for the dog was heartbroken about giving her up because she had grown attached to it, the newspaper reported.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 16 September 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440916-TC-JWC-01; CL 18: 209-210
The Grange, Monday [16 September 1844]—
I am bound today to Mackintosh's,1 which is within riding-distance of this place; but I am to ride with Lord Ashburton who has business in that direction, and know not at what hour or minute I may be called,—for everything in the excursion line seems to hang upon accidents here, which a little diminishes the pleasure of it to a regular man. One thing too I always find settled, That I am never or hardly ever to be left to my own individual devices, but some one or other, all eager to serve me, is to be of the party. In fact, why should they keep me here in such princely style otherwise?—
In brief therefore I snatch the passing moment to say, that the business is to end on Thursday first. That is the day I am to get back to thee, and our own little quiet lodge; quiet and industrious, tho' dusty and in Cockneyland. Thursday: I will write again to specify the hour. This is all my news that can be called essential.
Charles Buller came yesterday; our Poodle and Greville have already gone today. Strachey still lingers; but goes tomorrow. I, on Thursday, as I said; Buller on Saturday—
Yesterday there came a rag of a Letter from Plattnauer; very daft; which I enclose: make to him, as from me, any answer you see good: That I am coming soon; that he must by no means stir till I consult with him at large, that Dr Weiss2 is a goose &c &c—
I had also a Letter from Jack;3 of some length; but giving almost no news of interest, except that the bacon hams are under way, and will arrive this week.— Nickisson's Proof came also and detained me the whole day:4 a dull day, at any rate; partly rainy; which the Poodle and others had to pass chiefly under the Porticos, laboriously pacing to and fro.— My sleep is slightly improved, not much; it will do till Thursday. My shirts are then also exactly out.
I know not what has dirtied my blotting-paper, and made this sheet shameful!—
Mazzini's business seems to have been a far graver one here than we thought of:5 I am not yet fully instructed in it, but will try to be.— Patient with the Painters;—patient and diligent, my own little thrifty assiduous kind Goody! Thine ever

Many people, be they are native Sundanese or foreign nationals, have introduced the Sundanese culture, the major culture of West Java, to the world through such means as musical instruments and historical artifacts.
One of these cultural ambassadors is Abigail C. Cohn who unveils the richness of Sundanese linguistic heritage by researching, rigorously describing and documenting the sound systems and patterns of Sundanese — the third most widely spoken regional language in Indonesia.
For Cohn, the quality of the sound systems of the Sundanese language — spoken by an estimated 27 million speakers in West Java — is quite unusual, because many of the words in the language are pronounced with nasalization, or speech sounds that are produced mainly through the nose rather than mouth.
"The uniqueness of sound patterns in Sundanese can certainly inform the field of linguistics in general and phonological theory in particular", she says.
As a phonologist, Cohn attempts to integrate theoretical phonology as an abstract representation of sound patterns and experimental phonetics as the real manifestation of these patterns.
She adds that apart from the unusual properties of the Sundanese sound system, the language is a high prestige language and exhibits considerable dialectal variation.
Cohn's research findings on the Sundanese language and other vernacular languages in Indonesia such as Madurese and Acehnese have substantially enriched literatures on the world's minority languages.
Most of her work on Indonesia's vernaculars have been published in highly prestigious journals in the world such as Linguistic Inquiry, Phonology and Natural Language and Linguistic Theory. Most recently, she coedited the Oxford Handbook of Laboratory Phonology.
Cohn paid a visit to Indonesia for the first time in 1985 when she participated in the Advanced Indonesian Abroad Program (COTI) at Malang State University — formerly known as the Malang Teacher Training Institute.
Prior to studying in Malang, East Java, she participated in an intensive study of Indonesian at the South Asian Studies Summer Institute and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1984. She has done linguistic work on Indonesian and Indonesian languages since that time.
Now a professor of linguistic and Southeast Asian studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Cohn is on a sabbatical leave, and using the time to conduct a study on language change and shifts under the auspices of the US Fulbright Senior Scholar Research Grant. To participate in this project, interested readers can email her at email@example.com.
Indonesia's linguistic richness has inspired her to continue her research here.
"Indonesia provides a fascinating test case, where the interwoven effects of national language policy, multilingualism, diglossia, register differences and the development of regional varieties all come together in the context of recent shifts in language use and practice throughout Indonesia," Cohn explains.
Unlike her previous research on the sound system of Sundanese, this time Cohn is particularly piqued by the effects of language contact among Sundanese speakers and tries to document and analyze the complex patterns of change from a sociolinguistic vantage point.
She believes that her research will be useful in informing theoretical and applied questions and hopes it will serves as a model for similar studies on other languages.
Cohn's academic endeavor to study language shifts is indeed opportune, given the Indonesian government's sluggish efforts to preserve and promote the country's local language varieties to international forums.
Despite its large number of speakers who make it a strong candidate for long-term maintenance, Sundanese, Cohn envisions, is at risk of becoming endangered in the future unless efforts are taken to continuously safeguard it.
"The tendency of Sundanese speakers to choose Indonesian for daily interaction could lead to a very rapid language shift."
The factors of language shifts vary; however, Cohn observes that social factors such as the promotion of the use Indonesian, multiethnic teachers who teach at schools, heterogeneous communities and inter-ethnic marriage, among other factors, play a significant role in causing a speaker to shift from one language to another.
Although some schools have offered muatan lokal (local content) as part of regional government efforts to support the maintenance of local language and culture, Cohn argues that such efforts will not suffice, adding that interacting with parents and community members in local languages is also of paramount importance.
"One important issue is that it seems that many people don't realize their orientation toward language choice, whether local, regional or global," she says.
"I think it is important that individual speakers realize that their decisions of language choice affect their community and the future of their language."
Cohn points out that the maintenance of one's local language is vital for providing access to one's local values, cultures and ideologies.

The University of Arizona women's soccer team will play its first home matches of the season this weekend. The Cats take on Pittsburgh on Friday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m., then they face Utah on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 12 p.m.
Both games will be played at Murphey Stadium, 15th Street & Plumer Avenue. Admission to all Wildcat home soccer games is free.
Sunday's match with Utah is slated for a 12 p.m. kickoff, not 1 p.m. as it was originally listed.
The injury-plagued Wildcat squad is looking to bounce back after suffering a pair of losses on the road to open the season last weekend. The Cats fell at Tennessee (5-1) last Friday, then were defeated at Vanderbilt (4-0) last Sunday. Arizona stands at 0-2-0 on the year.
Junior midfielder Twila Kaufman scored the Cats' lone goal of the weekend on Friday. Fellow junior Kristi Lorona has a team-high four shots on the season, followed by sophomore defender Naomi Chu's three shots.
Junior goalkeeper Shannon Monti has played every minute in the nets for the Cats thus far, tallying six saves and a goals-against average of 4.50.
On a three-game losing skid, Pittsburgh stands at 1-3-0 overall after losing at both Penn State (6-0) and Bucknell (3-0) last weekend. The Panthers have been shutout in each of their last three matches.
Sophomore defender Jacqueline Fix is Pittsburgh's leading scorer with two goals (four points), and sophomore midfielder Laura Marsh has scored one goal (two points). Junior goalkeeper Rachel Brown has played in three games, tallying 31 saves and a goals-against average of 2.00. Sophomore keeper Gretchen Ross has seen time in two contests, collecting three saves and a 6.00 GAA.
Roland Sturk (Boston College, 1970) is 20-54-4 in five years as head coach at Pittsburgh. He holds a career record of 78-122-8 over 11 seasons.
The Utes are 1-2-1 overall following a 3-2 overtime loss at home to Washington State last Saturday and a 3-0 victory over Weber State on Monday. Utah will play at Arizona State this Friday prior to heading to Tucson.
Sophomore midfielder Katie Tate is Utah's top scorer, with four goals and two assists (10 points). Junior midfielder Amy Kofoed follows with three goals and one assist (seven points). Sophomore goalkeeper Courtney Hills has 27 saves, one shutout and a 1.73 goals-against average.
Sixth-year head coach Amy Freeman Winslow (Bates, 1989) is 54-41-5 at the helm of the Utah program. She is 68-108-8 in 11 years as a head coach.
Friday's contest with Pittsburgh will be a first-time meeting for the Cats.
Arizona leads the series with Utah, 1-0-0. The Cats edged the Utes, 2-1, during their only previous meeting on Oct. 8, 1995, in Tucson.
In their season opener on Sept. 1, the Cats suffered a 5-1 loss at Tennessee.
Outshooting the Cats 23-14 for the game, the Lady Vols dented the net three times in the first 35 minutes of the match. They capped the win with two more goals in the 64th and 81st minutes.
Arizona finally broke the shutout at 84:05, when junior midfielder Twila Kaufman snagged the ball during a scramble in front of the net. Sophomore defender Naomi Chu had a team-high three shots in the game, while junior forward Kristi Lorona and junior midfielder Tiffany Sabado had two shots each. Junior goalkeeper Shannon Monti had one save in the game.
Opening-weekend struggles continued for Arizona, as it was shutout, 4-0, at Vanderbilt on Sept. 3.
The Commodores notched their first goal only six minutes into the match, then the Wildcats held Vandy off until early in the second half. Vanderbilt scored its remaining three goals in a 17-minute span during the second.
Vanderbilt outshot Arizona, 19-2, in a match played in extremely hot and humid conditions. Lorona had both of the UA's shots. Goalkeeper Shannon Monti played all 90 minutes in the nets for the Cats, garnering five saves.
First-year head coach Cathy Klein (SUNY-Cortland, 1987) holds an 0-2-0 mark at the helm of the Arizona program. She has a Division I career record of 57-43-1 over six years and is 79-96-6 in 11 years as a head coach.
Klein was named as the Wildcats' new head coach last January. She came to the UA after a five-year stint building a new women's soccer program at Iowa State. In four varsity seasons with the Cyclones, Klein garnered a 43-37-1 mark. Before Iowa State, Klein was head coach at Creighton and Division III schools Earlham College and Utica College.
In her first season at the UA, Melissa Estrada (Creighton, 1995) followed Cathy Klein from Iowa State, where Estrada was part of Klein's coaching staff for four years. She assists with recruiting and works with the field players.
Assistant coach Andre Luciano (Indiana, 1993) is in his second year on the sidelines for Arizona, after stints at Utah State and Washington State. His primary responsibilities at the UA are coaching the goalkeepers and working in the recruiting efforts.
All daily practices during the regular season, until Nov. 5, will be held from 2:30-4:30 p.m.
Media are encouraged to attend all practices but are not permitted to converse with coaches or players during practice. Media are permitted to interview coaches or players after practice only if an interview has been pre-arranged. All practices and games are conducted at Murphey Soccer Stadium, 15th and Plumer.

The 2000 season has been good to the Pac-10 women's soccer teams so far. Five of the conference teams are still undefeated -- Washington (4-0), USC (3-0), Arizona State (3-0), California (3-0) and Stanford (2-0). Five conference teams -- UCLA, Stanford, USC, Arizona State and California -- are all ranked in the adidas/NSCAA Coaches Poll this week.
The Wildcats are 0-0-0 at home, 0-2-0 on the road and 0-0-0 in neutral games this season. Last year, Arizona garnered a 4-4-2 mark at home, was 1-6-0 on the road and was 2-0-0 in neutral matches.
The 2000 Wildcat roster features five players from Tucson-area high schools -- Niki Aguiar (Mountain View), Jacy Corbus (Sunnyside), Kristi Lorona (Canyon del Oro), Erin Nelson (Sabino) and Kate Nighswander-Will (Catalina Foothills).
A number of the Wildcats' 2000 opponents are ranked in this week's polls.
In the adidas/NSCAA Coaches Poll, UCLA is No. 8, Stanford is No. 8, USC is No. 15, Arizona State is No. 19, and California is No. 25.
The Soccer America Top 20 has Stanford at No. 5, UCLA at No. 8, USC at No. 12, Washington at No. 17 and Arizona State at No. 20.
In this week's SoccerBuzz.com national rankings, Stanford is No. 8, UCLA is No. 10, USC is No. 12, Brigham Young is No. 14 and California is No. 24.
Senior goalkeeper Inger Airheart is currently Arizona's career leader in minutes played (4338) and shutouts (9). She is second in career saves (259), fourth in games started (47) and tied for eighth in games played (49).
Junior goalkeeper Shannon Monti is third in career minutes played (1092), third in saves (64) and third in shutouts (2). Junior forward Kristi Lorona is fourth on the UA career list in game-winning goals (2), tied for eighth in goals scored (5) and tied for ninth in total points (12).

Junior midfielder Twila Kaufman is tied with Sabado for seventh in career goals scored (6), and senior defender Ann Giallonardo is tied for ninth in career games started (38).
The outcome of seven of the Wildcats' 19 games last year was decided by one goal or less. In the seven-year history of the Arizona soccer program, 45 matches have been decided by that one-goal-or-less differential.
Traditionally, the Cats have fared rather well when scoring two or more goals in a match. The UA won six of the nine contests last season in which it scored two or more goals.
Over the seven years of Wildcat soccer, the UA has a 26-16-1 record when scoring two goals or more.
The UA played five nationally ranked opponents last year, more than in any other season in the program's history... 13 different players have started one game or more for the Wildcats this year.
UCLA was tabbed by the league's coaches as the favorite to win the Pac-10 crown this year, while the rebuilding Wildcats were picked to finish 10th.

Becca Storr worked in a plasma center at Davenport, Iowa for a year before she came west to Washington. The company had a policy that an employee could be transferred to anywhere they chose. Becca chose Eastern Washington because she had a second cousin she thought she'd visit.

Sprint 4G tablet to be launched next year, might not run Android, might be RIM's PlayBook
Sprint is offering 4G (WiMax) services for quite a while now, and yet its first tablet – the Samsung Galaxy Tab – is limited to using 3G.
However, a 4G tablet will be launched by Sprint soon.
According to Forbes, Sprint's President of Business Markets recently said that their first tablet to support 4G will be available sometime in 2011.
The tablet's manufacturer has not been unveiled, but Sprint mentioned that it "will soon sell tablets with other operating systems" – other than Android, of course. Since RIM hinted at a 4G BlackBerry PlayBook earlier this month, Sprint's upcoming tablet might be a RIM one.
Of course, the 4G tablet that Sprint's readying could also be Windows 7-based, of even WebOS-based. We probably won't know for sure until next year.

What began with the intentions of being a cookbook turned out to be so much more during development. This book contains 17 authentic Mexican recipes from several sources including ourselves, friends and locals who have befriended us. From traditional Taco Stand Tacos to tortilla soup, all of our favorites can be found. As a professional photographer and writer, I utilized both skills to create a fun, thought provoking and hunger inducing book using photographs I have taken not only of many recipes included but of my experiences living here in Mexico. I volunteered at the local animal shelter as well as the orphanage and have included several images from both shoots. I was also fortunate enough to photograph a woman who lives in our village who makes tortillas from scratch EVERY MORNING. (see cover) We have also been keeping an active short story blog since the move and have included 5 of those stories as well.
This book will effect all the senses and will hopefully leave you wanting to return to it often.

In a little over a year, Lupita Nyong'o has risen from an unknown to being a fashion fixture on awards show red carpets and other events. With the help of her stylist, she drew a lot of attention during awards season – of course also helped by the fact that she was nominated for several awards for her performance in "12 Years a Slave." Although with no other film credits to her name at the time, it was her fashion choices at events that made people who didn't know her take notice. In truth, since her breakout role, she's actually garnered more attention from what she's worn to Hollywood awards shows, events, and parties.
When you look at Ms. Nyong'o's year in fashion, you notice that she doesn't stick with just a few colors – she likes to change it up and keep it interesting. Although she often goes with something monochrome in a classic silhouette; she varies in her color choices. One of the first dresses that made people take notice was the bold red strapless column gown she wore to the Golden Globe awards. It had an attached cape that draped down the side and around the back. For her lucky night at the Academy Awards, Nyong'o wore an ethereal light blue gown with a flowing skirt in chiffon.
However, no person has a perfect fashion record, and Nyong'o's "huh" moment came at this year's MET Costume Institute gala. While the theme of the night was "White Tie," Nyong'o chose a puzzling outfit of a brown slipdress with a beaded green overlay with attached feathers down the sides. She also wore a cheap-looking green band around her forehead.
With the amount of attention that Ms. Nyong'o has gathered just from how she's dressed at high profile events; it's obvious why celebrities often rely on their stylists for fashion help and advice. Even with only one film credit to her name, Lupita Nyong'o became a name that many people know even if they didn't see "12 Years a Slave."

STANFORD, Calif. - "We train for the last day of the year". Although we train with this quote in mind all year, it was definitely the driving force this week.
The Sunday following our away meet at Arizona, the team had a mandatory "day for yourself" that ranged from shopping, watching movies, and going to the farmer's market. We all had to report what we each did. After our day off, everyone was eager and ready to go. Monday's practice showed just how determined and strong this team is. This week was a hard gymnastics week, reiterating the fact that we are focused on the last day of the year as opposed to feeling great at the end of the week. With intense assignments on all four events, everyone was hustling while efficiently and energetically getting their work done. Strong emphasis on details was also a focus this week by eliminating leg separations, form deductions, and perfecting our dance. It takes extra effort and heart, but that is what it will take on the last day of the year and I have no doubt this team has what it takes.
Come Thursday, it was strange not to have to pack our bags to go on the road again. On Friday, we dressed up for a game day that probably made people walking by do a double take. While half the team turned to their dark sides, wore the legendary "black backless" leotards, and sported quite the layer of black lipstick and eyeliner, the other half of the team (who preferred the bright pink leotards) were the ballerinas with their hair slicked back in buns and even a few tutu's. Game day was filled with new faces on almost every event, which was motivating and shows just how important depth is.
As senior night was coming up on Sunday, many of the girls spent Saturday hanging out with their families or birthday shopping (Shout out to Spinner who turned 19 on Sunday!). We were stoked to compete in Maples Pavilion for the one and only time this season and to honor our beyond-amazing seniors. The theme was Casenio-Royale and like Skoly mentioned, "We really hit the jackpot" with these girls. They have influenced SWG in such a special way and we hope we came close to showing them truly what amazing girls they are.
As for the meet, every routine was big and confident; it will be hard just to mention a few. Amo had a lights out day, sticking her vault, nailing beam, and going big on floor. Dani was her own solid self on all four events and Shelley's bar routine was huge with two additions, including her full-in dismount that she stuck! Again, it's hard to just mention a few highlights, but all I can say is this is one heck of a team. This coming Sunday, we are off to Cal for our last meet of the regular season! Thanks for all of your support and to everyone who came out to Maples!

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading Theo's well-written poetry that comes from the heart. She has a nice flow to her writing with a solid (but not overly done) use of rhyme as well as other forms. The subject matter is also quite varied, which I enjoy as a reader. She has a unique and fun grasp of metaphor, imagery, and personification. Thanks for sharing your poetry Theo! :)
Mj Lemon
An amazing poet with great wisdom and tremendous feeling.

excellent poems. you are great in explaining your feels. i invite you to read my poem
Daniel Y.
A very good poet. Her pieces flow like prose, with solid narrative plot and themes. Her word choice is curious to me. Not what I would use... a different thinker. The metaphors she uses are generally thematic, rather than propositional.
I'd like to see a something she considered a challenging piece for her.

I am the field of blues and purples
Of lavender and lilac-to violet hue..................
i am what i am by the blue
fragrance awes with lavender tone
yet purple lilac whispers of hue
love resonates to bloom within
love is just an art of colors, ingenious write by the imagery,
(((After The Rain)))
I missed you the other day
When the dew left its diamond glitter upon the grass
And the squirrels and frogs were frolicking merry
When the silence of daybreak calmed
And the sunrise ever warmed
With its gentle rays dancing across my skin
Giving me hints of a fluffy white cloud or two
Promising an entire new day
Of peace and contentment
A perfect day-this
But for the glaring-almost blindingly-blazing
Absence of you

At the beginning of the 20th century a new sex icon emerged, the erotic nude of the French postcards. Her coy expressions and provocative poses captured the eyes of many a fellow and she set even the most civilized gentleman's blood aflame with her scandalous temptations.
French postcard from the early 20th century.
Although erotic photos were produced all over the world, Paris was the true epicenter of the industry and it was not long before the photos themselves became known simply as "French Postcards" regardless of their origin. Early photographers, eager to take advantage of the remarkable new technology of the daguerreotype camera, set to work producing hundreds of postcard sized pictures of the attractive dames of Belle Epoch Paris.
The images were modeled after the respectable "art nudes" accepted in fine art and were originally distributed in La Beaute magazine. This periodical served as a catalog of images with 75 nude poses per edition and was distributed for "artist's use" to many an aspiring Michelangelo at tobacco shops and street dealers. Not surprisingly, the bulk of the foreign troops passing through Paris developed an "artistic flair" while in the City of Lights and proved to be one of the main patrons of La Beaute.
1910 French postcard like those sold in La Beaute.
The French postcards mark the beginning of the idea of the pinup as a particular character in the collective conscious' fantasy. These early pictures set the standard for decades to come both in style and form. The poses struck by the models of the 1910s and 20s have become staples in pinup and boudoir photography and the blend of risque sexuality with playful humor have defined the attitude of the pinup ever since.
Along with the usual tropes of the naughty French maid, the beauty caught in the act of undressing and the randy ingenue, Orientalism was a very popular theme in erotic postcards. The wonder of the archaeological discoveries made in the 19th century in Egypt and India had Europe all abuzz with the exoticism of the "Orient." The scant harem consort or bare chested slave girl became common characters in the fantasies of the photographers.
Above, a snake charmer enchants more than the cobra. Below, another example of Orientalism's influences.
While photographs were the main media of the French Postcards, some illustrators were also busy painting provocative images for postcards. The Parisian Leo Fontan's leggy images solidified the stocking fetish for generations to follow and infused the pinup with a level of voyeuristic humor.
A Fontan illustration from the 1910s.
In the US, a Creole photographer by the name of E.J. Bellocq began making portraits of the prostitutes of the New Orleans' red light district. Because the images were considered obscene at the time he often scratched out the faces of his models to obscure their identity. His pictures are especially interesting because they exude the allure of the fictional pinup within the reality of the subject's life.
A Bellocq photo from 1910 depicts a Bayou prostitute.
At this point in history explicit sexual images were still considered taboo as vestiges of Victorian modesty lingered on. The majority of the women who posed in the postcards were nameless models, dancers or prostitutes and while they were considered ideal as sexual objects, they were certainly not respected as individuals or considered members of the civilized classes. It was not until after the end WWI that an embrace of the risque transferred a level of respect to the pinup as a sex symbol. Up next: The pinup becomes an icon and the glamorous days of the 20s-30s pinup starlets.

After a year away, center Matthew Lombardi is returning to the NHL. The New York Rangers announced Wednesday that they had signed the veteran forward to a two-year deal. Although financial terms were not disclosed, the deal is reportedly worth $1.6 million.
The 32-year-old Lombardi spent last season with Genève-Servette of the Swiss National League, leading the league in scoring with 50 points in 46 games. He added nine points in 12 playoff games. In addition, Geneve-Servette won the Spengler Cup last season. Lombardi led the tournament in scoring, with eight points in three games.
A versatile player, Lombardi can play both center and wing. He has good speed and plays a responsible two-way game. He split the 2012-2013 NHL season between the Phoenix Coyotes and the Anaheim Ducks; scoring eight points in 28 games. A veteran of nine NHL seasons, Lombardi has also played for the Calgary Flames, Nashville Predators and Toronto Maple Leafs. In 536 NHL games, he has amassed 101 goals and 262 points. He has added 16 points in 40 playoff contests.
For the Rangers, Lombardi could replace Brian Boyle (who signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning) as a bottom-six center. He will also help offset the loss of Brad Richards, who was bought out earlier this summer, and has since signed with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Even with the signing of Lombardi, the Rangers still have work left to do to solidify their group of forwards. Leading scorer Mats Zuccarello is a restricted free agent, as are forwards Derick Brassard and Chris Kreider. All three players have elected to go to salary arbitration, and should be in line for significant raises.
The team did have one significant addition to their blueline, signing veteran defenseman Dan Boyle to a two-year contract earlier this summer. In 75 games for the San Jose Sharks last season, the 38-year-old Boyle had 12 goals and 36 points.
The Rangers made a surprising run to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, where they fell to the Los Angeles Kings.

Crisp & Serene Studer Wedding (7 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
The Studer Wedding on Sunday, July 3, 2011 was airy, crisp, and serene. The room was draped in white and dusted with gold organza sashes that provide just enough color. The sunshine coming through the windows gleamed upon the white linens and brought an immense amount of light to the room. The subtle highlights of teal and gold accented the neutral colors and complemented the natural wood work of the vaulted timber ceilings.
Placed at each table setting was a sugar cookie shaped to look like a wedding cake and a small vial of bubbles that were to be blown as the couple had their first dance. We were smitten with the 'mini wedding cake' cookies and amazed that not one looked identical. Each cookie had its own unique frosting color, design, and intricate flower or beading detail in shades of white or Tiffany blue. A small note was tied onto the wrapping thanking each guest for attending the wedding. It was a wonderful way to provide guests with a thoughtful and personalized wedding treat they were sure to enjoy.
The cake was amazing. It was beautifully decorated with quilting and white roses. The cake topper featured a porcelain bride and groom in a loving embrace that reminded us of the sweet-natured couple.
In addition to the gorgeous cake the bride and groom created their own candy buffet. They used sweets that tied in with the gold and turquoise tones but still delighted tummies. Tasty treats included: chocolate dipped marshmallows and pretzels in Tiffany blue colored chocolate, Reese's peanut butter cups, lollipops, Hershey's chocolate, and jelly beans.The candy buffet was definitely a big hit with guests.

Tamra Barney is under fire over the client experience at her Orange County gym. On Yelp, several people have commented on CUT Fitness, claiming the staff is rude and the fees are unreasonable.
Last winter, the "Real Housewives of Orange County" star and her husband, Eddie Judge, opened CUT Fitness, and now, months later, they are being targeted by critics. In a new report, several comments left by customers are revealed -- and it doesn't sound good for Barney and Judge.
According to the Aug. 19 report by Radar Online, customers of the gym are unsatisfied with their experience and have taken to Yelp to express their concern. In addition to feeling that the gym was overpriced, many customers had bad things to say about those working at CUT Fitness.
"When I arrived at the grand opening, not one person greeted me or even acknowledged that I was there," one customer claimed. "I stood right next to Eddie and said hi and he just looked away. I have never felt so out of place." Another customer called CUT Fitness a "total scam" and a "joke."
In June a woman named Jessica L. said CUT Fitness' classes were "overpriced." In response, Barney's husband reported wrote, "I was not able to find you in our records, so it's safe to assume you have never experienced the CUT Fitness workouts."
However, since the woman was listed simply as "Jessica L.," it seemed odd that Judge would have even attempted to find her in their system. After all, without a last name, was that even possible?
"It's funny that you conveniently can't find me in your system. Especially since Yelp doesn't provide personal information besides first names!" Jessica L. noted.
On a recent episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," Barney's own son, Ryan Vieth (who used to work at CUT Fitness), slammed the gym's high membership fees and alleged the flooring had been incorrectly installed.
In Oct. 2013, it was reported Barney would be opening a second location of her CUT Fitness studio, but thus far, nearly one year later, there doesn't appear to be any solid evidence of another gym.
Radar Online reached out to Bravo for a comment in regard to Barney's gym criticism. Bravo didn't respond.

Incoming Heavyweight Dan de Groot Claims Silver To Cap World Juniors
A week after Princeton claimed six medals at the U-23 World Championships, incoming heavyweight recruit Dan de Groot claimed a silver medal in the men's single event for the Canadian National Team.
de Groot was one of five members of the Princeton Class of 2018 to compete at the World Junior Championships last week in Hamburg, Germany. Future teammate Augustin Wambersie won the B final in the Belgium 4x, while incoming open recruits Melissa Curtis, Riley Macaulay and Erica Swartwout all helped the U.S. W8+ to the A final.
"World Juniors was a great training and racing experience for me," de Groot said. "It was my first racing experience at the international level, so I had never been faced with such a deep field of strong competitors. The racing definitely helped improve the maturity of my racing and my mental toughness in races, because you have to race smart and can't open any doors for the competition."
de Groot was in one of the two Canadian boats to earn a medal at World Juniors. He qualified in the final of the men's single, and found himself in third position following the opening split, but he moved past Daniel Watkins of South Africa to gain a lead by the 1000-meter mark. Though German Tim Ole Naske held a big lead in his home country, de Groot made a big move in the third split to hold a comfortable edge for second and claimed silver in 8:38.17.
"The final race was not very special, as the conditions limited everyone's ability to race, spreading out the field by large distances," de Groot said. "The race I will remember the most was my semifinal dogfight with the German sculler. We had fought the whole way down the course and were only separated by 0.26 seconds at the finish, with him taking the win. By the end of the 2k we had opened up over 11 seconds on the third and final boat to qualify for Sunday's A final. Ending the regatta on the medal dock was a very special moment, and I will remember that forever."
Five Canadian boats have won international medals over the last two weeks, and two had a Princetonian in it. At the U-23 World Championships, Martin Barakso helped Canada win its lone gold in the Canadian coxed four.
Wambersie missed out on the A final by less than three seconds, but his 4x bounced back in style to win the B final by less than half a second. Wambersie, rowing in seat 2, helped Belgium out to an early lead, but Croatia stayed within two seconds at every split. The two boats were alone in their sprint for gold, and Belgium held off Croatia by .33 of a second to win in 6:40.93.
The U.S. women's eight took third in the repechage to qualify for its A final, but it could never quite get itself into the hunt during the final 2,000 meters. The Princeton trio held three of four seats (Macaulay, bow; Swartwout, 3; Curtis, 4) and ultimately finished sixth in 7:57.66.
The five will join two of Princeton's most successful programs from the previous spring. The women repeated as Ivy League champion, while the heavyweights earned a bronze medal at Sprints and had their best finish (fourth) at the IRA Nationals since 2006.
"I'm really looking forward to joining the program and being part of the team," de Groot said. "It will be a great environment starting in the fall with so many of us coming off international success this summer, and everyone looking to build on the great team results that the Princeton crew achieved last year."
With the U-23 and Junior Championships completed, the focus now turns to the Senior World Championships, held Aug. 24-31 in Amsterdam. Several of Princeton's top former rowers have already been named to their respective national teams; check back later to GoPrincetonTigers.com for a full preview of the event.
