Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Introduction
In A Nutshell
We really can't say it better than Joseph Conrad himself. Heart of Darkness is:
A wild story of a journalist who becomes manager of a station in the (African) interior and makes himself worshipped by a tribe of savages. Thus described, the subject seems comic, but it isn't. (source)
No—not comic at all. Set in the African Interior and based on Conrad's own experiences as the captain of a Belgian steamer, Heart of Darkness isn't much like the rousing adventure story that it could be. It's less Indiana Jones and the Ivory Traders than, well, psychological horror. And in February of 1899, readers of Blackwood's Magazine—a high-falutin' literary rag, kind of like The New Yorker—would have been treated to the first of its three parts.
Conrad is one of the most important English writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. And get this: he wasn't even English. Conrad was Polish, and he didn't actually learn English until he was in his twenties—and after he'd already learned French. (Think about that next time you complain about having to write an essay.) His works explore the seedy underbelly of imperialism, the move in the nineteenth century for European countries to stake out claim to various far-flung parts of the world.
Heart of Darkness is set right after the Scramble for Africa, the period of the late nineteenth century when imperial powers sliced up and doled out Africa like some particularly delicious—and ivory-rich—birthday cake. None of the Western countries really come off looking good in this whole debacle, but Belgium, unfortunately, looks particularly bad. They were after the valuable ivory hidden away in the African Interior, and they weren't afraid to brutalize and oppress the Africans in order to get it. Heart of Darkness follows the disturbing journey of English ivory-trading agent Marlow, who, working for a Belgian company, travels into the jungles of Africa in search of a mysterious man named Kurtz who appears to have (1) become a god-like figure, and (2) gone totally mad.
But Heart of Darkness is much more than a story about a trip up the river. It's a searching exploration of difference: of good and evil, black and white, sanity and insanity. In the end, what we're left with is … nothing. Really. Most contemporary critics agree that the novel is about the essential emptiness at the core of humanity—and language. That's why T. S. Eliot used a quotation from the novel as an epigraph to his poem "The Hollow Men," a super important and famous literary exploration of modern life.
One last thing: in 1975, Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe spoke out against the novel. He accused it of making its point by dehumanizing Africans and reducing them to extensions of the hostile and primal jungle environment. Conrad's language was beautiful and seductive, he said—but it was wrong. Hmmm. Beautiful, seductive, and wrong. To us, that sounds a lot like how Marlow would describe Kurtz—and it's a good example of how head-twistingly complex this novel is.
Get comfy. This is going to take a while.
Why Should I Care?
Have you ever rooted for the bad guy on a TV show, picked on someone smaller than you, or secretly wished that the annoying kid behind you in Calculus would get destroyed in dodgeball?
Then you, dear Shmooper, have encountered your own heart of darkness.
Okay, to be fair, it's somewhat less dark than the one Conrad shows us, probably more a light shade of gray than an inky blackness. But the point is this: people can be scary. No matter how much we like to think that we're on the side of good, the truth is that most of us are, in the right circumstances, probably capable of murder, brutality, torture, and mass exterminations. Just think of the Holocaust.
So before you start pointing fingers, take a look at your hand. See those three fingers pointing back at yourself? According to Heart of Darkness, we're all just a shrunken head away from savagery. Possible (okay, probable) racism aside, that's a truth worth caring about.

Small Purchase Card Procurement Policy
SPCC Policy for Longwood University
The use of the small purchase card streamlines Longwood University's procurement procedures for procuring and paying for small dollar goods and services (under $5,000). Procurements up to $5,000 shall be set-aside exclusively for DMBE-certified small businesses, if one is available. The goal of the Commonwealth is that 40% of its purchases be made from small businesses. The use of the Purchasing Card reduces the volume of invoices processed by Accounts Payable by consolidating payment invoices into one monthly payment to the charge card vendor, in this case, Bank of America VISA. The payment will be paid monthly by a clearing account directly to Bank of America VISA. The reconciliation of the individual cardholder monthly accounts will be done within the month following the payment. The card shall not be used to circumvent procurement guidelines. The card should be registered for use in eVA for vendors who have agreed to accept credit card payments.
The Purchasing Card program enables the Administrator to access and generate a variety of reports. It also provides the opportunity for cardholders to view their monthly charges and access their monthly statements through Bank of America's Works Application. The Works system enables the Administrator access to a variety of information from which to manage all cardholder accounts. The Administrator not only has access to cardholder information, SWAM reporting information, total expenditure information, but is able to perform such tasks as processing application requests for new cards, changing monthly spending limits, addresses, etc.
Longwood University (Materiel Management and Accounts Payable) schedules training sessions for cardholder applicants. Cards are not distributed to cardholders until they attend the mandatory cardholder training. Power Point presentations, as well as hand outs, are distributed to each cardholder and the cardholder agreement form is signed and kept on file with the Administrator. All cardholders may attend the training as many times as needed. The Administrator, back-up Administrator, cardholders, and cardholders' supervisors are required to complete on-line training annually, as mandated by DOA.
Longwood University has set limits of $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 or $5,000 per transaction depending on the department's need. There is a $10,000 monthly limit set for each card. The monthly limit can be increased with the submitted request form and approval by the cardholder's supervisor. The Administrator also signs off on these requests. It may be permanent or on a temporary basis. A cardholder may not, under any circumstances, authorize splitting of charges in order to circumvent a charge in excess of the transaction limit set by the University. The card shall not be used for cash advances, personal charges, or business travel expenses, such as, hotel accommodations, food, car rental, gas/oil. These are restricted on the card and may only be removed on a case-by-case basis, as requested by the cardholder's supervisor.
Cardholders are not permitted to email, fax or enter their card number on the internet unless they are using a secure website that is indicated as such with 'https' included in the URL. The cardholder must call the vendor with card information or the vendor contacts the cardholder to obtain the credit card information. Cardholders are not permitted to share cards.
Longwood University has been given permission from DOA to use the card for airline/rail ticket purchases. The ticket purchases shall not exceed the card limits. Accounts Payable regulations regarding travel must also be adhered to, such as travel permission, itineraries, etc.
Longwood University's policy is to issue cards only to those employees who have procurement responsibilities included in their job description. The state application form is used to request a card. The cardholder and the cardholder's supervisor are required to sign the Employee Agreement Form after the training is completed. All SPCC forms can be accessed from the Materiel Management website.
The Materiel Management Office, Accounts Payable, Internal Audit, DOA, and DGS review the purchasing card program. Materiel Management and Accounts Payable perform monthly audits and infractions are cited to the individual cardholders and their supervisor.
The second offense of any of the following: not using mandatory contract, not obtaining a release from the mandatory contract, not soliciting a SWaM vendor, and split ordering will result in a thirty day card suspension. The cardholder and supervisor will be required to take mandatory training before being reissued their card. Any additional offense within a six month period will result in the card being suspended for sixty days. The cardholder and supervisor will be required to retake the mandatory training before being reissued their card. Any additional offenses will result in permanent revocation of card privileges for the individual who is in violation.
A cardholder's supervisor may request a deactivation of the card for internal departmental reasons they are having with a cardholder. This may be done by the department seizing the card, the department head sending the Program Administrator an email with the cardholder's name and time period the card will be deactivated. Materiel Management will then deactivate the card for that time period.

Burne tabbed America East Woman of the Year
June 3, 2014
StonyBrook.edu: Burne `14 Speeds Towards Success
Bretton Woods, N.H. – Senior Olivia Burne of the Stony Brook women's cross country and track and field programs has been named America East Woman of the Year, conference officials announced Tuesday at the Annual Meeting in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The honor recognizes the conference's senior female student-athlete who has best distinguished herself throughout her collegiate career in the areas of academic achievement, athletic excellence and leadership on and off the field.
The America East's Senior Woman Administrators selected Burne, a three-time Scholar-Athlete (cross country, 2013 and 2014 and indoor track, 2014), from a pool of nine women. To be nominated, student-athletes must have completed intercollegiate eligibility in her primary sport by the end of the 2014 spring season or received her undergraduate degree prior to the conclusion of the summer 2014 term and have a minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 2.500 (4.000 scale).
Burne holds a 3.84 GPA in journalism and served as the campus president for The Supply, an organization dedicated to transforming urban slums.
A team captain for cross country and track and field, she collected an individual conference title in each of the final four America East championship meets of her Stony Brook career. After winning the 1,500-meter run at the 2013 outdoor championships, she went on to claim the 2013 cross country, 2013-14 indoor 1,000-meter and 2014 outdoor 1,500-meter crowns. She is a two-time All-Region performer in cross country (2013 and 2014) and was named a second-team All-American by the USTFCCCA following a trip to the 2013-14 NCAA Indoor Championships to compete in the mile. Burne wrapped her stellar career in the 1,500-meter run at NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Regionals May 30.
She was named USTFCCCA All-Academic in cross country in 2013 and 2014 and placed on the America East All-Academic teams for cross country, indoor track and outdoor track a combined seven times.
Burne is the second Stony Brook woman to receive the honor, joining former teammate Lucy Van Dalen, who was chosen in 2012. She will be forwarded to the NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee. The committee will select the top 10 winners in each NCAA division (I, II and III). From among those 30 honorees, the selection committee will determine the top three in each division. Finally, the members of the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics (CWA) will vote from among the top nine to determine the 2014 NCAA Woman of the Year.

Lots of Talk, Little Action in Asian M&A
By Nisha Gopalan and Prudence Ho
Heading into 2012, bankers in Asia were confident of a busy year for takeovers given that companies in the region hold plenty of cash and are looking to expand globally. But a check at the halfway mark shows deal volume has barely budged.
Bankers now say that while plenty of firms are looking to buy abroad, Europe's debt crisis, a sluggish global economy and political gridlock in the U.S. have all hurt confidence, a key ingredient for mergers and acquisitions.
Talks over potential deals, "especially by Chinese clients, is more than it has been for years," said Brian Gu, head of China corporate finance and M&A at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. "The challenge is the fluctuating valuation driven by secondary market volatility has added a level of uncertainty, causing some M&A discussions to drag on."
Buoyed by activity within the region, the volume of announced cross-border deals by Asia Pacific companies in the first half of 2012 rose 2% to $117.2 billion,, from $115.2 billion in the year-earlier period, according to Dealogic. Still, that is a far cry from the second half of last year, when outbound M&A from countries in the Asia Pacific region reached a record $162 billion.
The biggest group of buyers came from Japan, while Chinese firms were second. Among them were Japanese trading company Marubeni Corp.'s purchase of U.S. grain handler Gavilon Group LLC for $5.6 billion and Shanghai-based Bright Food Group Co.'s £1.2 billion ($1.9 billion) deal for U.K.-based cereal maker Weetabix.

ICF International
Categorized Under: Energy, Environment
ICF is under contract with the National Northwest Renewable Energy Center and Oregon State University (NNMREC/OSU) to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for their proposed Wave Energy Mobile Ocean Test Berth (MOTB).
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is the lead agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and has provided grant funding to support the design, construction, and operation of the NNMREC/OSU mobile, full-scale, open ocean wave energy testing facility consisting of up to two MOTBs. Each MOTB is capable of testing, recording, and transmitting the energy output of a variety of Wave Energy Conversion (WEC) devices without a physical connection to the electrical grid on land.
The proposed project would be a cost-effective means to evaluate the technical aspects, performance characteristics, and environmental impacts of developing marine renewable energy and would be a significant step in the advancement of wave energy production and commercialization in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. ICF completed the Draft EA and is in the process of completing the Biological Assessment and Essential Fish Habitat Assessment and consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON – Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is proposing changes to Mississippi law by adding computer software and related materials to documents protected under the Trade Secrets Act.
Hosemann said that the purpose is to address what judges could and could not order disclosed in trade secrets lawsuits.
"We have been very specific (under current law) about what trade secrets are subject to disclosure under the litigation process," Hosemann said. "We have to clarify what the judicial branch can order disclosure or nondisclosure of."
That issue was raised by Eaton Aerospace of Jackson in its lawsuit against North Carolina-based Frisby Aerospace.
Eaton had claimed that six former employees took with them to Frisby a computer database that contained Eaton trade secrets.
Hinds County Circuit Judge Swan Yerger threw out the lawsuit last year. Yerger said Eaton had hired former District Attorney Ed Peters as outside counsel with the hopes he could influence Judge Bobby DeLaughter, who initially presided over the litigation.
Yerger also ruled that most everything that had been kept under seal, including Eaton trade secrets, during the litigation would be made public by the end of January.

Changing Horses
Recent productions of Peter Shaffer's Equus have been carbon copies of the 1973 premiere. So when Stephen Rayne was selected to direct the show for the Alley Theatre, he thought it was time for another interpretation. Most of the play's action takes place in a mental hospital as psychiatrist Martin Dysart probes for the cause of a boy's apparently barbaric blinding of stable horses. Historically, directors have for some reason placed these scenes in dark settings; Rayne prefers to drop his characters into institutional white scenery. Peter Lobdell, who has done many versions of the play since he directed the movement of "horses" in the original Broadway production, also noted that this was one of the first times he had been asked to change the choreography.
The play has a new focus as well. In the '70s, the psychiatrist's struggle over the morality of correcting the unique worldview of this supposedly aberrant boy was seen as a critique of the psychiatric profession. For Rayne, a Brit born in Africa, this questioning of normalization has a more modern connection: the current "gentrification of society." "I've traveled a lot, and I'm appalled at how you can go to Tel Aviv in Israel and you could be in Miami. It's unbelievable how American it is .You cannot go anywhere and escape McDonald's."
Shaffer is a playwright known for writing accessible plays about serious subjects, and Equus is, above all else, an engaging philosophical thriller. That's okay by Rayne. "As long as by the end of the evening, as well as providing two hours of entertainment and provocation, people can leave questioning their own aspirations and desires in this very consumeristic society they're living in."

How will Brazil's climate impact the performance of the world's best football teams as they compete to win the 2014 World Cup?
With temperatures of up to 31 °C and 82% humidity in Manaus in July, there has been a lot of talk around how Brazil's climate will impact the world's football players as they compete for the World Cup.
The video below considers how the hot and humid weather conditions may affect the English team as they arrive in Brazil. Consulting experts from Plymouth Argyle Football Club, the Met Office spoke to their groundsman and physiotherapist to hear about how England will have been preparing in the build up to playing in Brazil. We also spoke to Professor Craig Williams from Exeter University, who explained the need to acclimatise and the potential advantage the South American teams may have.

Evacuation of hematoma, hemostasis, reduction of dead space by vacuum systems for minimization of secondary complications, such as full skin necrosis, deep infections, and secondary wound closure.
Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL), all larger epifascial hematomas.
None. SURGICAL
Central longitudinal incision, detection of the extent of the hematoma, transection of the full length of the lesion, hemostasis, debridement, application of vacuum systems, secondary wound closure, or splitskin coverage. POSTOPERATIVE
Vacuum therapy must be continued until secretions are less than 30 ml/24 hours. Negative bacterial culture before wound closure is imperative. Daily change of wound dressings, frequent control of inflammation parameters. Weight bearing until consolidation of soft tissue.
Operative treatment of the MLL with vacuum systems is a relatively new concept, and results on larger collectives have not been published yet. A total of 8 patients in our hospital underwent vacuum therapy after sustaining a MLL, 5 of them with concomitant instability of the pelvic ring. Emergency stabilization and initiation of vacuum therapy were performed on the day of admission. Three patients had initially positive bacterial colonialization. Duration of vacuum therapy was 8.5 days (range 4-14 days). Dressings were changed every 2.6 days (range 1-4 days). While 6 wounds could be closed secondarily, 2 needed split skin coverage. Complications were not observed. Vacuum therapy facilitates wound management and helps reduce bacterial colonialization. It has also been proved to have a beneficial effect on qualitative and quantitative granulation.

Education: 'The sky is the limit'
Monday, July 21, 2008
The advent of the AFPRC, and then its progeny, the APRC, opened up astronomical development avenues with education capturing quite a share of attention.
The idea, as has been emphasized from the beginning, is built on the premise that the root cause of the country's stagnant growth cannot be detached from the conceptualized educational system our people had been exposed to since the colonial era.
To the new government of President Yahya Jammeh, a 'responsive, relevant and quality education for all Gambians' was a cornerstone for the development trend the 'new Gambia' was desperately yearning for. And this it immediately set itself to achieving, cognizant of the price it was going to pay; both in terms of effort and physical resource.
Without any known natural resource base capable of attracting capital, The Gambia, under the leadership of a devoutly determined young soldier forged its way to where we are today. How he did it can barely be explained; but it evidently took tremendous courage and stamina.
It is all based on what we can describe today as the APRC education plan, which did not only employ an all inclusive strategy, but was particularly sensitive to the needs of all children, catering especially for the girl child, women, the physically challenged, the youth as well as the poor. The plan encompassed all categories - from early childhood education to university.
The idea of 'education for all' has already been pronounced, but first, the accessibility of schools was the focus. A number of new schools soon cropped up, right across the country. Inhabitants of the most remote areas of the country were given their fair share of the national cake. For the first time, parents were freed of the burden of having to travel kilometers in search of wardens for their children, a problem that had hitherto forced hundreds if not thousands of children to stay out of the classroom. Within a very short period of time, there seemed to be more schools than children of school going age. But more was set to come.
A means of convincing parents, whose apathy towards western education had been aided by their constraint with regards to affordability, was soon to be on the offing. This would coincide with the government's expanded vision of basic education for all, which guarantees that every Gambian between the ages of 7 and 16 must have a 9-year uninterrupted basic education. This eventually recorded great improvement in URR, CRR, LRR, and NBR, regions that had traditionally registered low level of participation in Western education.
The education master plan of the APRC government was by no means limited to the basic and secondary level. Vocational and technical education and training, as well as tertiary and university education, were top on the agenda.
Due to the enormity of the successes registered so far in the sector, one can hardly have enough time to convey a detailed report. But if there is any thing that we must single out, it is the progress made on the aspect of enrollment of girls. This is seen as a landmark given the repercussions gender disparity had had on all sectors of our development agenda, which was clearly owing to neglect of the female folks.
The overall success story is largely attributable to a mixed bag of actions; policy development; capacity building; service delivery; advocacy and social mobilization, community empowerment, as well as partnership and alliance building.
However, two most important areas are worth mentioning; the revolutionization of girls' education, and the turn around evident in the tertiary and higher education sector.
President Yahya Jammeh himself, through personal involvement, has consistently endeavored to open up endless avenues for scholarship for Gambians, especially for the girl child and women.
This covers the Lower Basic, right up to the University of The Gambia, and abroad. There is the Jammeh Foundation for Peace (JFP), which has provided and continues to provide scholarships for deserving candidates; there is also the President's Empowerment for Girls' Education Project (PEGEP); and also a scholarship trust fund which caters exclusively for those in the provinces, etc. There have also been countless personal sponsorship of Gambians by the Gambian leader, which have not been accounted for. And just recently, the 22nd July Scholarship Pageant, an idea conceived by the Gambian leader himself set impetus to the spree of development.
Tertiary education, which received a lot of attention in the last 5 years, has seen tremendous growth along the way, serving, as envisaged, as a center piece in the transformation of The Gambia into a center for learning in the sub-region.
More skills and vocational training centers have been established with the GTTI gradually fulfilling its envisioned mission as a center of technological excellence.
The idea of the National Training Authority, alongside the governing councils of The Gambia College and the University of The Gambia, have ensured the steady growth in the successes registered in vocational and technical training and education, and tertiary and higher education. A prudent restructuring of The Gambia College has gone a long way in guaranteeing a continuous supply of teachers to fill the gap at all levels.
The establishment of the University of The Gambia is arguably one of the most successful of projects anywhere in Africa in the course of the last millennium. Four years since it commenced graduating its products, UTG has produced 661 scholars, scattered throughout the country. Some are already pursuing further studies abroad.
But like all other projects sanctioned by the APRC administration, the University of The Gambia attracted severe criticism when it was first conceived by its chief architect, President Yahya Jammeh.
After what must have been serious thinking by the Gambian leader, a number of Gambians, for the first time in the history of the country, earned degrees in various courses on Gambian soil, thanks to a partnership between government and Saint Mary's University - Canada. It was called the University Extension Program.
Subsequently, the government of The Gambia saw the need for the establishment of the University of The Gambia. The Act was finally passed in 1999. The School of Medicine happened to be the pioneer institution of what was to become a national symbol. Today, that group of pioneering students that commenced the UTG have since been serving the nation after about seven years of hard work, with excellent results. This was in line with government's long-standing concern about the status of the health sector of the country, and the need to train Gambian doctors on home soil. As at this moment, The Gambia can boast of 23 homegrown doctors, after the graduation of the medical students earlier this year. One can imagine how much it would have cost the country to educate half of that number outside The Gambia. This is a point President Jammeh had consistently put forward.
On other subject areas, success stories have also been registered. A substantial number of the university graduates are serving in the education system, with a number of them contributing their quota in the private sector. They are especially predominant in the commercial sector, the banking industry, to be precise.
In line with its desire to ensure opportunities to access higher education for its citizens, the government of The Gambia, under President Jammeh's guidance, continues to look for scholarship, both within and outside the country. A good number of Gambians leave for further studies on a yearly basis, and priority has of late been given to UTG graduates. Taiwan has been playing host to a greater number of these students, with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and, recently, Malaysia, following suit. A small number of them find their way into universities in the US, Russia, Cuba and the UK. Perhaps the most celebrated graduate of the UTG is Babucarr Bah, who is pursuing a Masters degree in the prestigious Oxford University, in the UK. A development, according to some officials at the University of The Gambia, which indicates that "what we are offering has quality and that we can compete everywhere".
If information coming from the department of state responsible for tertiary and higher education is anything to go by, the much talked about integration process, aimed at bringing together all the tertiary institutions in the country under one entity – the University of The Gambia – would soon be a reality and the favorite catchphrase of His Excellency that for education, the sky is the limit, will finally come to pass.

Miroslav Filipović
|Part of a series on
|The Holocaust
Miroslav Filipović (5 June 1915 – 1946), also known as Tomislav Filipović and Tomislav Filipović-Majstorović, was a Croatian Nazi collaborator, Franciscan friar and military chaplain, and convicted war criminal.
During World War II in Yugoslavia, he participated in mass murder of Serbs and other non-Croats by the Croatian Ustaše regime, particularly in the Jasenovac concentration camp. His brutal actions in the camp against men, women and children earned him the nickname The Devil of Jasenovac and Friar Satan .[1] During the war, Filipović was convicted of war crimes by a German military court, but was then released to officiate in a prison camp. In 1946, after the defeat of the Ustaše, a Yugoslav civil court had him hanged.
Early life[edit]
Filipović's date of birth was 5 June 1915, but little else about his early years has been recorded.[2] In 1938 he joined the Franciscan Order at Petrićevac monastery, Banja Luka, and took "Tomislav" as his religious name.[3]
In 1941, following establishment of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a puppet state installed by the Axis Powers embracing Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as most of Croatia by the Ustaše, an organisation of extremist Croatian nationalists, Filipović was assigned to a chaplaincy in the Rama region in northern Herzegovina.[4] He did not take up the assignment. In January 1942, after completing his theological exams in Sarajevo,[5] he became a military chaplain with the Ustaša. A report by the State Commission of Croatia for the Investigation of the Crimes of the Occupation Forces and their Collaborators (SCC), Section D-XXVI: "Crimes in the Jasenovac Camp" (Zagreb 1946), as of August 2008 is available in English[6] and in Serbian.[7]
Ustaša Chaplain[edit]
Tomislav Filipović (later known as Tomislav Filipović-Majstorović) was assigned to II Poglavnik Bodyguard Battalion. Statements by two eyewitnesses and a senior German general say that on 7 February 1942, Filipović accompanied elements of his battalion in an operation aimed at wiping out Serbs in the settlement of Drakulić, on the northern outskirts of Banja Luka, and in two neighbouring villages, Motike and Šargovac. A few Serbs survived, but overwhelmingly the operation achieved its objective and more than 2,300 Serb civilians - men, women and children - were killed, usually with axe or pick-axe. He was nicknamed by his troops "the glorious one", and he ordered that little Serbian children be brought before him, so that he could slaughter them with the traditional Ustaše weapons: the knife and gun. He and Father Zvonimir Brekalo would kill these children by cutting their necks.[8]
Reports sent to Eugen Dido Kvaternik, head of the state internal security service, from his Banja Luka office and dated 9 and 11 February 1942, noted that the victims at Šargovac included 52 children killed at the village primary school. The first of these reports gives death tolls at the mine, the school and the three villages which together total 2,287. The second revises the death toll at the school from 37 to 52, bringing the toll to 2,302. [9] Two teachers survived the school massacre: Dobrila Martinović, who subsequently suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mara Šunjić (shown as Tunjić in some documents) who gave evidence against Filipović at his postwar trial in Belgrade. According to Šunjić's trial testimony Filipović not only participated in the atrocity but also incited fellow Ustaše to act with extreme cruelty.[10]
By 1955 Martinović was teaching again, in the Bosnian village of Šiprage southeast of Banja Luka. She described the Šargovac school massacre in conversations with a university professor, Jovo Jovanović and with her headteacher, and her account was published in 1968. She explained that she had no reason to be alarmed when Filipović arrived at the school because he was based at the nearby Prebićevac monastery and was often seen passing through the villages. On previous occasions his manner had been friendly. The teacher recalled that when Filipović and some Ustaše entered her classroom, the children looked on with curiosity but no fear. But Filipović took a child, Vasilija Glamočanin, and "slaughtered her with a knife" in front of the class. He urged the Ustaša troops who accompanied him to deal similarly with the other children and assured them that he would take the sin upon himself.[11] Viktor Novak had attributed a similar account to Martinović in Magnum crimen, with grotesque and sometimes improbable detail: "As each child passed, an Ustaša would gouge out an eye and push it into the child's slit belly" etc. Similar atrocities occurred on 12 February 1942 at two more villages in the area, Piskavica and Ivanjska (now Potkozarje), but there is no concrete evidence that Filipović was involved in those events.[12][13]
Filipović was court-martialed by the Germans for his involvement, possibly at the request of the Italian army which was then occupying part of the ISC territory.[14] In his testimony to a Croatian state commission set up after World War II to investigate war crimes "by the occupation forces and their collaborators", Filipović said he neither participated in, nor even attended, the 7 February massacres.[15] However, General Edmund Glaise-Horstenau, the senior German officer in the region, implicated Filipović in a report where he stated that as well as being present "during the slaughtering" the priest had attended a planning meeting prior to the massacres, along with certain other Catholic priests. He reported that the Ustaša's former city chief in Banja Luka, Viktor Gutić, and the city's court president, a Dr. Stilinović, were also at the meeting.[16] On 4 April 1942 Filipović was reportedly suspended from his chaplaincy post[17] by the papal legate in Zagreb and jailed in Croatia.[14]
Responsibilities at the Jasenovac camps complex[edit]
Through the direct intervention of Vjekoslav "Maks" Luburić, who then headed Section III of the ISC internal security service (Ustaška Narodna Služba), which was responsible for administering the puppet state's system of prison camps, Filipović was quickly released and posted to the Jasenovac complex of labour and death camps where he was at first an inmate with benefited status, who aided the Ustase, and later appointed Ustase, commanding a small transit camp nigh Jasenovac, in early 1942, he reportedly killed an inmate there for hiding a loaf of bread.[18] Shortly thereafter he became chief-guard, responsible for mass-executions and lieutenant of the commander Ljubo Miloš and administrator Ivica Matković, and later, on 10 June 1942, administrator of the main camp in their stead, until the return of Matković, in March 1942.[19] Luburić gave Filipović a new surname, "Majstorović", derived from a local word meaning "master" or "craftsman". From then on documents referred to him sometimes by that name and sometimes as Filipović-Majstorović. One event that had him noted for being overly-cruel, was his apparent victory in a bet placed by him, Marinko Polić and Jerko Maričić, both infamous NCOs in the camp. Witness Josip Riboli stated:
|Majstorović, Polić and Maricić competed over which of them was a better butcher. Victims had to kneel in front of them until they were touching their foreheads to the ground, and the executioners would fire their revolvers at the backs of their heads. If death wasn't instant, one of them would grab a knife and slit the victim's throat.[20]
Another particularly vicious killing was described by the former Jewish prisoner, Egon Berger, in his book, "44 months in Jasenovac":
|"The priestly face of Fra Majstorovic, all made-up and powdered, dressed in an elegant suit an green hunter's hat, watched with delight the victims. He approached the children, even stroked their heads. The company was joined Ljubo Milos and Ivica Matkovic. Fra Majstorovic told the mothers there will now will be a baptism for their children. They took the children from the mothers, the child whom Father Majstorovic was carrying, in his child's innocence caressed the painted face of his killer. The mothers, distraught, perceived the situation. They offered their lives for mercy for the children. Two children were placed on the ground, while the third was thrown like a ball into the air, and Fr Majstorovic , holding a dagger upwards, missed three times, while the fourth time with a joke and a laugh, a child was impaled on the dagger. Mothers began throwing themselves on the ground, pulling their hair, and began to shout terribly. Ustasha guards of the 14th Osijek Company took them away and killed them. When all three children were so brutally killed, these three two-legged beasts exchanged money, because they seem to have a bet on who would the first to stick a dagger in a child."[21]
Commandant of Jasenovac[edit]
After the war Filipović admitted that he had personally killed about 100 prisoners and had attended mass executions of many more. He estimated that under his command some 20-30,000 prisoners were liquidated at the main Jasenovac camp. He said prisoners would often be made to stand in prepared trenches where each was then killed with a sledgehammer blow.[22] Filipović went on to describe his tenure in command of Stara Gradiška, a prison camp primarily for women which was designated Camp V within the Jasenovac system:
|I [was at] Stara Gradiška from the end of October 1942 until 27 March 1943. During that time mass liquidations were performed, usually outside the camp, for instance in Mlaka and Jablanac, but some were sent off to Jasenovac too. Such large transports for liquidations were carried out by the order of Matković Ivica (i.e. Ivica Matković), and in this way 2-3,000 people were sent away. On 16 April 1945 I returned to Jasenovac, where I stayed until the end. I know that at the time corpses of prisoners from Gradina were being exhumed and burned, in order to cover up traces of what had been done. I didn't participate in the liquidation of the last prisoners, but only in exhumation.[22]
After hearing from 62 Jasenovac survivors, whom it listed usually with complete addresses, the war-crimes commission in 1946 counted Filipović among 13 Ustaše who "stood out" for their brutality and direct involvement in the killing. It reported that even the cruelty of Ljubo Miloš, notorious for slashing prisoners to death in a mock clinic, was "surpassed in sadism" by Filipović. The commission saw Filipović's statement as a "crucial" acknowledgement of his participation in atrocities, but in respect of the numbers he had given it noted: "All witnesses interviewed, who were prisoners themselves, speak with complete consistency and certainty of a far greater number, especially in regards to the number of victims killed by Majstorovic himself." The commission cited one witness, Tomo Krkac, who had described seeing Filipović "very often" shooting prisoners during so-called public executions and forcing prisoners to kill other prisoners with sledgehammers.[23]
In one of the first published memoirs about life and death in the Jasenovac complex, a Croatian medical doctor and academic, Dr. Nikola Nikolić, who had been imprisoned in Camp III, described his first meeting with Filipović: "His voice had an almost feminine quality which was at odds with his physical stature and coarse face." Nikolić recalled standing in the second row of a group of prisoners who had been lined up to watch as another group of prisoners were herded in front of Filipović. Filipovović called Nikolić to the front so that, as a doctor, he could witness "our surgery being performed without anaesthetic". Filipović then shot dead two prisoners and told a colleague to "finish off the rest".[24]
Nikolić quotes another survivor, Josip Riboli:
|Compared with Matković and Miloš, whose faces revealed the baseness of their inner natures, Filipović Majstorović seemed kind and gentle - except when the slaughtering was going on. Then he was incomparable. He was the leader of all the mass killings at Gradina. He went off to conduct the slaughtering every night and came back covered with blood."[24]
Riboli also gave evidence to the Croatian war-crimes commission. According to the accounts of some survivors, Filipović continued to act as a chaplain while commanding the camp and sometimes wore his Franciscan robes while carrying out his crimes.[25] As a result, he came to be known among prisoners as "Fra Sotona" ("Friar Satan"). According to Ronald Rychlak, Filopovic was "tried, laicized, and expelled from the Franciscan order before the war even ended".[26] There is no evidence that he was excommunicated by the Catholic Church, but he was reportedly removed from the Franciscan order on 22 October 1942, the date on which he was transferred to Stara Gradiška.[27][28]
In September 1944, Filipović, along with Dinko Šakić and others, was appointed to sit on an ad hoc court-martial convened to try prisoners accused of forging links with the partisans and plotting an escape. The Croatian War Crimes Commission in its report was at a loss to explain why such a process had been deemed necessary when Ustaše had already killed thousands of people "by heinous means, without any justification or procedure". It reported that all 31 accused prisoners were hanged after undergoing severe torture including blindings, crushed fingers and blow-lamp burns. Filipović in his testimony said: "We (the court-martial) didn't investigate anything, we only signed the verdicts." A witness, Dervis Sarać, recalled how three gypsies were brought to play music before Filipović, who, disappointed by the music, shot one and sent the others to death.[29] Another witness accuses him of having shot an inmate while eating lunch, after which deed he resumed eating.[30]
Commandant of Stara Gradiška[edit]
As chief of camp Stara Gradiška, which predominantly housed women and children, Miroslav Filipović-Majstorović excelled in sadism. A Jewish survivor of Jasenovac, Egon Berger, has described Filipović's sadistic killing of children,[31] while two other witnesses, Šimo Klaić and Dragutin Škrgatić: Klaić recalls that in Christmas 1942, Miroslav [Filipović-Majstorović] ordered mass and later a muster, where he killed four inmates with a knife, while forcing a Jew of Sarajevo, Alkalaj, to sing, then ordering Alkalaj to near [approach] him, stabbing him in the chest and slashing his throat. Then he killed 56 Bosnian Jews by tying them with wire, hitting them with an axe so they all fell into a well. Then he shot 42 Bosnian villagers in the head[32] Škrgatić confirmed that Filipović shot 40 villagers in the head after mass, adding: "In Majstorović's time, musters and executions were frequent. Friar Majstorović favored a mystical approach to the killings.... After he killed them, sat on a chair and said 'justice has been done'".[33] Ivan Placec, a witness, added that Filipović shot nine inmates that day for an escape attempt.[34] Witness Josip Erlih recalls Miroslav shooting at eight inmates to death.[35]
In 1946 Filipović stood trial in Belgrade for war crimes. He gave evidence consistent with his statement to the Croatian war-crimes commission, admitting his participation in some crimes and denying involvement in others. He was found guilty, sentenced to death and hanged, wearing the robes of the Franciscan Order.[36]

Svećeničko lice fra Majstorovića, obučenog u elegantno odijelo, našminkanog i napudranog, u zelenom lovačkom šeširu, sa nasladom je posmatralo žrtve. Prišao je djeci, čak ih je i pomilovao po glavi. Društvu se priključio Ljubo Miloš i Ivica Matković. Fra Majstorović reče majkama sada će biti krštenje njihove djece. Oduzeli su majkama djecu, a dijete koje je nosio fra Majstorović u svojoj dječijoj nevinosti milovalo je našminkano lice svoga ubojice. Majke, izbezumljene, uočile su situaciju. Nude svoje živote tražeći milost za mališane. Dvoje djece su metnuli na zemlju, dok je treće bačeno kao lopta u zrak, a fra Majstorović, držeći u ruci bodež okrenut prema gore tri puta je promašio, dok je četvrti put uz šalu i smijeh, dijete ostalo nataknuto na bodež. Majke su se bacale po zemlji čupajući kose a kad su počele strahovito vikati, ustaški stražari 14. osječke satnije odveli su ih i likvidirali. Kad je sve troje djece tako svirepo stradalo, tri dvonožne zvijeri su međusobno davali novac, jer izgleda da su se kladili tko će prije nataknuti dijete na bodež.

The Washington County Fairgrounds was packed during Sunday's 29th annual Broughton Ice Cream Social. Hundreds of ice cream lovers showed up for this year's event that benefits the Right Path for Washington County and 11 area food pantries.
The social was originally scheduled for July 8, but organizers decided to postpone the festivities after the June 29 wind storm left thousands of area residents without power in record heat for several days.
"The change of date may have hurt us a little, but there were a large number of people who had no power for days, and people from our company were struggling as well," said Dave Broughton, general manager of Broughton Foods in Marietta.

Broughton Ice Cream Social at fairgrounds
In spite of the change, he estimated this year's turnout was still on a par with previous years.
"Our pre-sold tickets help make this event a success, but it's a perfect Sunday and we've had pretty good attendance," Broughton said.
He said it will take three or four days before the total proceeds will be known.

Cameron Goeller, 6, of Marietta gets ready to dig into a bowl of chocolate moose tracks ice cream during Sunday's 29th annual Broughton Ice Cream Social at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
"But we would consider $20,000 a pretty good year," Broughton added.
Those attending this year's social could enjoy as much ice cream as they could eat.
Broughton said flavors included chocolate moose track, cherry nut, and birthday cake, in addition to good old chocolate and vanilla.
Fact Box
About the social:
The 29th annual Broughton Ice Cream Social was held Sunday at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
Proceeds from each year's social benefit local non-profit community service groups.
This year's proceeds will help support the Right Path for Washington County and 11 local food pantries.
In the previous 28 years, the Broughton Ice Cream Social has generated more than $450,000 to benefit 36 community organizations.
Joey Sinnett of Marietta knew why he was there.
"The ice cream," he said. "The birthday cake and cherry nut are my favorites-but birthday cake is the best."
Judy McAtee of Marietta agreed.
"The root beer floats are good, too," she said. "And I think those people who didn't have power after the storm appreciate that the social was held until now. It was a hard time for them."
Right Path coordinator Cathy Harper was excited to see so many people turn out for Sunday's event.
"It's going great. We've had a good steady crowd all day," she said. "I'm really happy with the community turnout and with the number of volunteers who have come out to help. Many of the youths who come to our Saturday night dances and pool parties have been working here today, too."
The Right Path's mission is to encourage and engage young people in service opportunities to help them connect and feel part of their community.
Harper said this year's proceeds are being shared with 10 community food pantries and Harvest of Hope.
Candy Waite, who operates the Gospel Mission Pantry at the Harmar Community Center, said the funding help is appreciated.
"There are a lot of people in need, and this is going to help all of the area pantries," she said. "We provide food for anyone in need, and this will be such a blessing. I think this community loves to give, and this is a gift that will keep on giving."
In addition to the ice cream treats, Sunday's social included musical entertainment provided by The Faculty, The South of the River Band, Joe Williams and Deep River and The Moon Band.

An acquired condition called Barrett's esophagus is caused by a change in the normal lining of the esophagus...most common in white males, especially those who smoke, are obese, in their fifties and older, and who may have suffered from heartburn for 10 to 20 years. Rush Hospital gastroenterologist Dr. Paul Varela said it's one factor that is causing an escalation in the number of cases of carcinoma of the esophagus.
"When we do patients for endoscopy with reflux disease about 1 out of 4 of those patients turn out to have Barrett's esophagus."
That's why Varela said it's so important to raise awareness about Barrett's esophagus. He says many people just treat the symptoms themselves, as ordinary heartburn.
"A lot of patients have had screening colonoscopies, who have no symptoms of heartburn whatsoever, but for some reason they also had an endoscopy done. Would you believe that 1 out of four of those patients have Barrett's esophagus?" said Varela.
Varela said a new tool, a camera pill the size of a large capsule, is making screening very easy so that anyone has the time to get it done, without the unpleasantness associated with a typical biopsy.
"So it goes down the entire length of the esophagus. It takes pictures of both sides, the upper part and the lower part. It constantly takes pictures as it goes down here. And it takes about 10 minutes to finish that. And this is recorded with another recording instrument. We download it. We look at it. And that afternoon we will have the report."
Varela said screening may be important even for those outside the high risk group.

These DIY batgoggles may have a well-intentioned purpose - to teach the principles of echo-location to kids visiting a science center - but they also could make midnight paintballing a whole lot more interesting (and/or painful). Bleeping angrily whenever an object or person is in front of you, they're part of Suneth S. Attygalle's "Dynamic User-centered Research and Design" project. Echo-location relies on bouncing high-pitched sounds off of objects in your path, measuring the time it takes for the sounds to return (or the frequency they return at) to calculate how close the object is.
Check out the video of the batgoggles in action after the cut
There's an Instructableif you're interested in making a set of your own. Cost is estimated at around $60, using an Arduino-clone microcontroller. Suneth next plans to add a sensitivity dial, and possibly wireless networking to feedback to a computer. Perhaps a more complicated version could include an array of sensors to warn you if you're about to be shot in the back?
Okay, so the ears themselves aren't actually necessary - they just fix on with velcro, in fact - but without them you'd just be a strange person wearing noisy diving goggles out of the pool. With them, you're DIY Batman! I'm no echo-location buff, but would splitting the two ultrasonic sensors between the ears make for a more accurate position estimate? Perhaps someone who understands such things could let me know in the comments.

TORONTO — Despite rising food costs, low consumer confidence and efforts to attract spenders, approximately 84% of U.S. consumers said they did not use their economic stimulus checks for groceries, according to Precima, a retail analytics firm here. The study was conducted during the first week of June and based upon a sample of 1,948 consumers. "The grocery industry didn't convince the American consumer that maximum return on stimulus checks could be achieved right in the supermarket ...

Battle of the app stores
Who wins the war of the app stores? Ovi Store? App World? Android Market? Apple App Store? We find out
The success of the Apple App Store caused an explosion of similar stores from mobile companies within the first few months of its release. Really though, the idea is merely an extension of the games and apps WAP stores that have been run by carriers and some handset giants for many years now.
Still, the bar has been raised and now we've come to expect a better experience and greater choice than ever before. How do the Nokia Ovi Store, the BlackBerry App World and the Android Market stack up against the App Store? We took a look at all of them to find out, as well as seeing how much you can get for your money once you're in there and indeed how much there is to actually buy in the first place.
App stores are fast becoming a reason to choose or avoid certain phones. Your mobile is fast becoming a replacement for the PDA, MP3 player, camera, portable games console and even your computer for certain tasks – and it's largely down to the additional apps you can get for it. Which stores should you take seriously? We find out.
Nokia Ovi Store
Number of apps: 1000+
Payment: By credit card or Paypal
Popular price range: £4-8
The Ovi Store had some issues when it finally launched back in May. To be specific, it didn't work. Thankfully, it's up and running now so you can download to your heart's content.
There are two main ways to buy apps off the store. The first is to browse to the website from your mobile. However, it's preferable to download the Ovi Store app and do your shopping from there- the experience is slicker and easier to use.
Content-wise, the Ovi Store is the least impressive of all the app stores we've checked out. A lot of the content on there is java based, rather than that using the more advanced Symbian platform. This is fine for games, which there are a lot of on the Ovi Store, but Java apps will almost universally pale comparison to Android and iPhone rivals. There's also a lot of low-fi customisation content such as wallpapers. Yipee indeed.
The relatively small amount of, dare we say, advanced apps also means that the genuinely useful apps end up being really quite expensive. Handy Weather, for example, will set you back £17.99 even though you'd be able to find an app with similar functionality for 59p on the iPhone.
So, although the Ovi Store has positioned itself as a contender to the App Store's crown, it's actually populated almost entirely by legacy apps and games, some of which were made years ago. Although there remains a fairly healthy selection of Symbian apps available - if not as many as you might at first expect - there's arguably not enough momentum behind the platform to entice publishers to put much cash into developing for it extensively in the future.
Top paid apps
- Crayons (drawing) £3
- Crack It (joke) £1
- Safe Deposit Box (security) £12.99
- Timer Pro Touch (timer) £1
- Sticky Notes touch (organiser) £1
Apple App Store
Number of apps: 50000+
Payment: by voucher/credit card
Popular price range: £0.59-5.99
Apple's App Store is undeniably the big daddy of all the app stores. Not only does it have far more apps than any of its rivals, it's also easily the most well known of the app giants.
This popularity comes with some distinct advantages. Although the App Store is generally accessed from within the iTunes application and directly through an iPhone or iPod Touch, there are numerous websites that let you search through the store easily without either of these.
It's a good job too because the sheer number of apps on the App Store makes it tricky to navigate with the limited tools provided by Apple. While you can search through the apps by their category, publisher or date, the search tools still aren't comprehensive enough to satisfy those looking to scratch beyond the store's surface.
Still, with apps like AppSniper and websites like appshopper.com, finding the right apps at the right price becomes a lot easier. We wouldn't understate the fact it's much easier to find coverage and reviews on iPhone apps than any other phone. Thanks to the alarming take-up of the App Store's wares, dozens of sites have cropped up to slate and berate the apps you should avoid and show you the ones worth a purchase. You can find a comprehensive selection of iPhone app reviews on our very own apps channel.
The App Store bangwagon is so cramped that competition had meant that 59p has become the store's most used price point (apart from freebies, there are probably even more of those). Yes, doused with dross as it may be, the App Store has hundreds of genuinely useful apps selling at bargain prices.
Top paid apps
- Camera Zoom (photography) 59p
- Internet Radio Box (radio) 59p
- London Tube Deluxe (travel) 59p
- Mobile minutes tracker (utility) 59p
- Weather Pro (weather) £2.39

Guess what? It just came around
The New York Times reported late last week that the dean of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology quit after it was discovered that she'd faked her academic credentials.
Marilee Jones has at different times claimed to hold degrees from three upstate New York schools: Albany Medical College, Union College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In truth, she has no degrees — not even a bachelor's degree.
Ms. Jones is well-known as a champion of the view that college admissions have become too competitve, and that students and parents worry too much about getting accepted to the "right" school. She's the co-author of a popular book on the subject, Less Stress, More Success.
In her book, she writes about the importance of integrity:
"Holding integrity is sometimes very hard to do because the temptation may be to cheat or cut corners. But just remember that 'what goes around comes around,' meaning that life has a funny way of giving back what you put out."

Roger Federer beats Mikhail Youzhny to win Halle title (BBC Sport)
It is the first time since 2007 that Federer has come back from a set down in the semis and final to triumph at an ATP World Tour event. "I have won a lot in my career but not recently," said world number three Federer, whose last tournament win came in Cincinnati. "I was satisfied with my game in the past 10 months. Maybe people thought I was playing badly but that was not the case. "I was playing well but when it mattered the others were just better. Today it worked well."
Roger Federer comes back against Mikhail Youzhny to win in Halle (The Guardian)
Before beating Mikhail Youzhny for the 15th time in a row to lift his sixth Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Roger Federer said: "Winning tournaments is everything." It was a Bob Paisley-esque evocation to tempt fate and the Swiss delivered. Federer overcame an uncertain start to win 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 in just over two hours and he is in good, although not devastating, shape to defend his title at Wimbledon. Whether or not he can reproduce his German form in London is uncertain because the familiar contenders grouped around the world No3 at the summit of the game are probably playing more consistent high-end tennis.
Federer claims sixth Halle crown (Fox News)
Federer lost to Rafael Nadal in his other final this year last month in Rome. He was a quarterfinal loser to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga last weekend at the French Open, but was able to turn around his season on his favorite surface. Grass has always suited Federer well. Seven of his record 17 Grand Slam titles have come on the famed lawns of Wimbledon, where he will return later this month as defending champion. Federer, who is now 6-2 in title matches in Halle, improved to 121-17 on grass.
Roger Federer ends victory drought (Los Angeles Times)
Roger Federer found the perfect place to end his title drought — a small town in western Germany that has a big tennis stadium and a street named Roger-Federer-Allee leading to it.
During 2004-07 and slowly the youngsters caught up in the years after... But still they struggle till date to dominate him... That's why he's the King of Tennis...
"I don't like when somebody starts to talk about he's not the same," Youzhny said. "What do you mean he's not the same? He's the same good." He said "Now there are some other players who are playing at that level. Before Federer's level was very high, now there are some other players who reached that level."
So true. Well said Mikhail! It's a no-brainer that Fed played at an unseen level during 200
☆ So wonderful and indescribable joy it is to see you raise another beautiful trophy making a beautiful story recorded forever in the world of tennis and sport in a manner as dignified with a bright and successful career. You are truly a blessed man with everything, your family is beautiful, You're a very special athlete, a gift to his country, his family and all who love you, I have no words to express all that you are signify!!! ☆
☼ All the best always!!! ☼
I agree with you about Roger beautiful curl hair.I prefer the old curl hair style:).
Question for Roger...
How can you know the different of you twins?Who is the Myla..Who is Charlene?:)
God bless you and your family

EAGLE — Eight-year-old Nicholas Hornbostel spent Tuesday in the White House— yes, that White House — with other people who believe good food can taste good.
Nicholas' sushi salad recipe was one of 54 selected from more than 1,300 submitted for this year's Epicurious Healthy Lunchtime Challenge.
The challenge: Come up with a healthy lunch recipe that includes all the food groups and tastes delicious.
The reward: A once-in-a-lifetime trip to our nation's capital to attend a kids' "state dinner" at the White House, hosted by first lady Michelle Obama.
And that's how Nicholas spent his Tuesday.
"This might be the first and last time for me to have dinner at the White House," Nicholas said.
He even got a shout-out from the first lady during her opening remarks.
"As 8-year-old Nicholas Hornbostel from Colorado said, this is a quote, 'I really want to be a cook and an engineer and be president, too.' That's an outstanding list," the first lady said. "That's what this state dinner is really about. We really want you to realize your dreams. And as I always say when I have kids here, I want you to think if you can walk in this room and sit at these chairs and be in front of these cameras and meet the first lady of the United States, then you can do anything in the world."
At the luncheon, kids were announced in the manner of state dignitaries arriving at an official state dinner, and a press line including White House chef Sam Kass conducted interviews and snapped photos — just like at a real state dinner.
Nicholas said his mom, Monika, helped him through the entry process.
"My mom told me I was a finalist. Then the other day she picked me up from summer camp and told me I was one of the winners," Nicholas said. "I was really excited to enter it, and then I won. I was really excited about that, too," Nicholas said.
Ironically, Monika told Nicolas he was a winner as he was returning home from Sewing Seeds camp, where kids learn about gardening and cooking. That's the good news.
The bad news was that he couldn't tell anyone. The information was considered classified until the White House released it. They did, finally, and by the time you read this Nicholas will have spent his day in the White House with Michelle Obama — which might set new standards for the essay "What I did on my summer vacation."
Entries were judged by a panel headed by assistant White House chef Sam Kass and Epicurious editor-in-chief Tanya Steel.
Nicholas Hornbostel de Moura e Silva is a third-grader at Edwards Elementary School. The family moved to Edwards a year ago from Rio de Janeiro.
"Sushi is huge in Brazil and it's one of his favorite foods," Monika said. "For this recipe the fish is cooked. We didn't think the White House would want to serve raw fish."
Nicholas came up with the ingredients on his own.
Monika said at first she wasn't convinced rice in a salad would work, but it does.
"I have loved sushi since I was little! I wanted to make sushi something even healthier, and I did!" Nicholas said. "I got the idea from thinking about eating sushi and then the next day I thought about eating salad. Then I put the two together and it equaled a sushi salad! That night we tested the recipe, and it was amazing! My parents rated it a 9, and I was proud of myself. You can serve it with brown rice and oranges for dessert."
Monika says Nicholas and his sister, Chloe, 9, have always been active in the kitchen.
"My mom and dad cook a lot. They're not in the restaurant business. They just like to cook," Nicholas said. "When I was 3 years old I got inspired in cooking. My mom was cooking pancakes one day and they were really good. So I made some and they were good too."
