Never intended by Forster for publication, Maurice: A Romance was written in 1913-14, after Howards End. A homosexual novel that is as much a story about self-development and personal growth as any of his others, it was only published in 1971, after Forster's death. Maurice Hall is born into a respectable middle-class Victorian family. He grows up in suburban London with his widowed mother and two sisters. The book deals with this period of Maurice's life quickly, beginning with a schoolmaster drawing sexual diagrams in the sand for Maurice and then erasing them before anyone else can see. The story soon afterwards moves to Cambridge. Here, Maurice meets his first love, Clive Durham. For three years they have a passionate,…

We study the hydrodynamical interation between intracluster medium and hot gas of an elliptical galaxy moving in a rich cluster. The ram pressure is caused by the galaxy motion and strips metal enriched gas from the galaxy. The bow shock heats up the intracluster medium and gives it velocities which help to be mixed. Using the results of hydrodynamical calculations, we examine the rates of dynamical heating and metallic gas supply to the intracluster medium, and consider the spacial distributions of the metalicity and temperature of intracluster medium.

Chet Baker
Chet Baker first made an impression on the jazz scene in 1952, when saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker chose him to be his sideman on trumpet for a Los Angeles nightclub gig. "You better watch out," Bird is said to have told Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, his bebop brothers in New York. "There's a white cat on the West Coast who's gonna eat you up."
Baker, then 23, was the epitome of California cool. Dubbed the James Dean of jazz because of his greased-back good looks, he had a sultry feel for melody as both a trumpeter and singer. He made bobby-soxers swoon. As time carved at his pretty-boy features, however, Baker bartered away his promise as a musician, carrying on a love affair with heroin and cocaine. He was found dead in May 1988, at 59, outside a seedy hotel in Amsterdam. It remains a mystery whether he fell out of his second-floor room in a stupor or was pushed because of a drug deal gone awry.
Let's Get Lost, the sound track to a documentary-film portrait of Baker by photographer Bruce Weber, was recorded during the last months of his life. Both on trumpet and vocals, Baker's phrasing is slack and his tone languid as he lurches through such romantic classics as "Imagination" and "My One and Only Love." Even so, Baker casts a strangely seductive spell. Listen to his sinuous rendition of "Blame It on My Youth," sung with the aplomb of an aging gigolo wrapped in a moth-eaten cloak of vulnerability and innocence.
Baker's intensity and eerie sensuality make Let's Get Lost as good an introduction as any to his music. But his tonal refinement and ability to reshape a melody are better heard in recent reissues of his earlier albums.
Much of Baker's seminal work as a young man with a horn is available by mail from Mosaic Records (35 Melrose PL, Stamford, Conn. 06902). One exquisite Mosaic boxed set documents the introverted, coolly elegiac trumpeter's collaboration in the early '50s with the extroverted, blowsy baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan. On two other Mosaic sets, Baker joins pianist Russ Freeman, an exemplar of breezy West Coast bop.
Chet in Paris: Everything Happens to Me (EmArcy) shows Baker at the peak of his trumpet skills, in 1955. Chet Baker Sings: It Could Happen to You (Riverside), circa 1958, features his whispery lyricism as a crooner still intoxicated with the sweet scent of success. On The Best Thing for You (A&M), marking a 1977 comeback effort, he is unusually assertive in the company of such greats as saxophonist Paul Desmond, drummer Tony Williams and bassist Ron Carter.
Relying entirely on intuition, Baker never read music well or bothered to perfect his technique. But his capacity for conveying intimacy made his technical skills largely irrelevant. Listening to his music can be as heartrending as remembering the short-lived beauty and fragrance of a cut flower whose petals have been delicately preserved between the pages of an old book. (RCA/Novus)

Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Sr. Discusses The Jean Pascal Rumors
The gym scene in Las Vegas has been heating up the past few weeks, with several world class fighters and upcoming prospects putting in serious work at various spots in the city.
The gyms are always full of chatter and one recent sighting that has gone unnoticed in boxing circles was the fact that former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal was seen training with Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Yeah, he was in Vegas, Floyd Sr. confirmed to me during a recent discussion. He was in Vegas for a good five or six days. I trained him while he was here. Hes got pretty fast hands and hes got fairly decent power. The work was going perfectly. [Click Here To Read More]

Its a shame that Mayweather doesn't train more fighters. I believe he's a great trainer, and can impart a lot of great knowledge to fighters.
As Kevin Iole wrote in one of his yahoo articles a few months ago, one of boxings biggest problems is the lack of quality trainers.

Sr. is smart...if Pascal wants to learn some of what he has to offer then he should pay for the privilege.

Ace Young will be dead Monday night -- on TV, that is. That's when the former season five Idol contestant guest stars on FOX's Bones as a murder victim. Young plays Tommy Sour, a personal trainer and singer who is found dead at a local karaoke bar. Stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel investigate the mystery.
Viewers will hear Young sing two songs on the show, one of which is a cover of Nickelback's "Far Away." Also making an appearance is season six Idol contestant Brandon Rogers, who plays a fellow karaoke bar singer known as Broadway Wannabe Guy.
This is not Young's first foray into acting. He has also appeared in a 2006 episode of Half & Half.
The 27-year-old Young, who earned a Grammy nomination last February for co-writing fellow Idol Chris Daughtry's It's Not Over, recently finished his self-titled debut CD, which will be released in June. He's currently on a national radio tour promoting the CD's first single, "Addicted."

Michigan's Weather-Predicting Llama Dies
The people of the small town of Oxford, Mich., usually get their end-of-winter prediction not from a groundhog, but from a llama. Last week, the town's premier weather-forecasting llama, Tutor, died at his farm at the age of nine.
Tutor belonged to Mark and Beth Harries, owners of Windstar Farm and 26 remaining llamas. Tutor seemed healthy until Mark Harries found him dead on the morning of April 3, according to the Clarkston News.
"I'm going to really miss him," Harries told the Clarkston News. "He was my buddy."
Oxford used to have a one-eyed groundhog named Noah John that predicted the weather until he died in 2002. Harries' llama Mr. Prozac took over until 2009, when Tutor stepped in. But Harries may not name a successor weather llama, so the tradition may have died along with him.
Tutor went renegade with what turned out to be his last forecast in February, disagreeing with Punxsutawney Phil's call for six more weeks of winter. He may not have been right — temperatures in Oxford didn't creep up into the 50s until the final few days of March — but he was loved.
"He was always very proud of his weather predictions and gave it his best," Beth Harries said.

Born in the dirt, the humble white potato has lately been elevated to the main dish in a rollicking debate that is blurring the lines between politics and science.
Congress is pushing hard to get the spuds included in the 40-year-old WIC program, which provides food for low-income women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, and their infants and children.
Senators and members of the House say it is their right to intervene. Health advocates accuse Congress of improperly imposing itself on nutrition science.

PS4=Wii U > Xbone
Reasons? Here are a few:
PS4 because it's more powerful, has better controller and is 100 euros cheaper. Also more exclusives.
Wii U because it's so unique, has a very very exclusive game collection. It offers something for people who want a different gaming experience. Also the cheapest.
So why get Xbone when it offers nothing exclusive but Halo? PC you get more power, PS4 more power and costs less, Wii U a completely unique experience.

The PS4 is the hottest, fastest, most selling game console out now. It has at least a 2-3 million lead over the Xbox One...with the PS4 still being harder to find vs the Xbox One.
The PS3 is outselling the Wii U on a monthly basis. Thats a console from almost 10 years ago outselling a console released last year.
Sony does know a lil something about game consoles. Blind fanboy is blind...

Bloop, bloop LMAO. Touchwiz the ugliest. I cant believe people stil defend it.

Touchwiz has so many specs that no other Oems provide
Ugly in which sense

I used to really like Samsung especially the Note series. It took the M8 to pull me away. It's not their build quality that I got tired of, it's that damn touchwiz interface that desperately needs a MAJOR overhaul. Unlocked bootloaders would really help too.

Playstation dont sell? Go drunk you are home.... I mean go home you are drunk. Friendsofsamsung lmao.

Bloop bloop...is getting old already, why Samsung still can't change the sound effect lol? I'm also not surprised by the lags, because this is a known problem for Touchwiz, my uncle's S3 is very laggy, and it has many problems after updating to Android 4.3.

I love the sound on Sony UI. The classy glass sound.
56. PorkyBurger (Posts: 585; Member since: 18 May 2013)
I liked Gingerbread's TouchWiz touch sound. Just a tick, and nothing else. But with Jelly Bean, fear and horror came inside my phone. (╬ ಠ益ಠ) God I love custom ROM's.
61. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Yeah, I remember that tick sound from the old Gingerbread's Touchwiz. Ah, good old days...It's better than the bloop bloop like on current Touchwiz.
38. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
I hate how slow the my magazine is. Every time I swipe from left it opens FREAKING SLOWLY! Though I hope/guess it can be turned off, right?
44. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Touchwiz still lags and some people still deny it. Just look at Sense, it's buttery smooth, even if you swipe to Blinkfeed.
59. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Yeah. I went to a store yesterday and checked S5 and M8. The white S5 was extremely slippery and I think the plastic didn't even feel that good. Though I didn't try the black one I heard it feels better.
But the M8 was SOO BEAUTIFUL. Most beautiful phone I have EVER seen! (Though I haven't seen the Z2 yet) And yeah it was super smooth and fast! Such an amazing device!
63. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Sadly, the M8 is too expensive.
69. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
In Finland there are places where M8 is cheapest and places where it's the most expensive one. So here all the flagships are kinda equally priced. Though the iPhone is the most expensive.
109. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
On the Note 3, you have to root or install a launcher to get rid of "MyMagazine". I used Nova and it works nicely. On the GS5, there is some way to turn it off without having to install a new launcher.
120. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
That's good then.
47. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
Bonus one...
Thats why Sony waterproofed smartphones come with a magnetic charger option (pogo pins with dock included in the Acro S)...
If I upgrade my phone to another IP certified Xperia, I will definitely get the charging Dock... absolutely convenient
74. Teeeyoo (Posts: 97; Member since: 13 Jul 2013)
So what about if PA will also consider doing this kind of stuff to other flagships? Well unless if other flaghips are perfect then there's no need.
76. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)

5th one is the most annoying one !!
and unfortunately even in the 5th iteration; 3rd one (TouchWiz) also kinda annoys me a lot !!

Omg im So stupid i cant figure out how to change settings on my new phone: solution get an iPhone or dumb Phone, and let people with brains use real smartphones....
86. xondk (Posts: 1393; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
I must admit I find most of these non issues, since most of them are just you know, default settings, which you can change, so it isn't really a problem if you ask me.
And the fingerprintscanner at least for me works perfectly, like 90% of the time, which is fine for me, much faster then using a code or such, not faster then swipe obviously but not really a problem to me, as with all fingerprint scanners its about scanning your finger correctly.
As for the lag with the phonebook, I really don't see it, there is a 'wait' but that from what I see is it waiting to check if if its a double home press or just a single, turn off things that check that and there's no lag. Wouldn't really call it lag.
UI: its good enough for me design wise, so I think this is more about personal taste then anything else and not really a 'flaw', no matter what device it is, it is very unlikely that everyone will like UI designs, at least you know you can change it with android if you want to.
Bloop: yes, annoying sound effect that, turning it off was first thing I did :), but again I'm sure there are people that like it, I don't though.
USB cover: oh gods yes, but then again it is like this with most usb covers, someone needs to make one that is easy to open without nails + waterproof.
I think it is very rare that everyone will like everything about a phone, there will be quirks that you do not like regardless of brand or os. Change what you don't like, and everything is good?
126. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Exactly. Better yet...where was the article like this complaining about the Rezound or just recent HTC phones in general with those flush volume rockers? And at the time Sense UI wasnt as good as it is now...and the way HTC setup that phone made it harder to find settings vs other phones.
Dont let me get started on the iPhone.....which has its Settings area all over the place vs. Android, Win Mo....dont know about WP.
89. redbaronk12 (Posts: 89; Member since: 14 Dec 2013)
Wouldn't it make more sense for a waterproof phone to come with wireless charging included?
91. strikercho (banned) (Posts: 156; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I'm not surprised at all. If you need a decent Android phone you could buy a Sony or an HTC. If you need a great Windows phone, you can have a Nokia. And if you need "the" phone,it is clear- iPhone. But someonehas to give me money to use a Samsung or an LG.
92. Ammar (Posts: 1; Member since: 09 May 2014)
Useless Post. Biased one.
S5 is best phone till now. Nothing can be 100 % perfect.
96. sbw44 (Posts: 433; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Lol,ome people here would talk crap about how kitkat does not lag but there you have it, the Galaxy S5 LAGS!!!!
127. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
First....understand the difference between stock Android and Android with a UI on top of stock Android.
Do that...then try this again....
I would bet some real money....put Touchwiz over WP...and lets see what happens...
Also dont miss the part where it was a couple of apps on the phone....and not the entire phone.

Iraqi troops will donate money to the United States wildfire victims in California.
The soldiers say they want the American people to know that "we are family."
The $500 Iraqi donation is the fourth donation made to Americans in need.
A team of chaplains from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is working with churches and local emergency crews to minister to fire victims.
"My heart goes out to particularly to the elderly and those folks who are just too devastated and emotionally unraveled to even be able to fill forms out to get assistance," Head Chaplain Jack Munday told CBN News.
"Our role at this stage is to really come alongside and assist them and help them with the resources in the area, to pray with them and to really offer God's hope that although their loss is just devastating, that the Lord can give them a new normal," he said. "We've seen over the years in disasters we've responded to all over the world that the Lord is faithful and that He'll be with them through it.
Munday says the BGEA will train volunteers who want to join the rapid response team.

Tribune Chronicle
WARREN - Veterans at Washington Square Nursing Home had a special surprise this holiday season as they were given a decorated Christmas tree and gifts as part of an adoption program.
Christine Palmer and her children, Jocelyn and Jordan, decorated a Christmas tree donated by the 5/6 Council at Youngstown Air Reserve Station.
Christine Palmer is a reservist at Youngstown Air Reserve Station and also a registered nurse at Trumbull Memorial Hospital in the obstetric unit.
She said she combined a community service project with the 5/6 Council and TMH Obstetric Nurses to adopt a family for Christmas. This year, they chose a single mother of four children who lost her belongings in a fire.
Palmer said "the response was so overwhelming that we were able to also adopt the residents at Washington Square, where there are 15 veterans."
Gifts were presented recently to each resident.
Betty Bennett, activity director at Washington Square, said Adopt a Family donated a six-foot Christmas tree and all its decorations, helped put up the tree and decorated it.
"It's a beautiful tree and greatly appreciated," Bennett said.
They also brought blankets and poinsettias for the nursing home.
To raise money for the items, benefits were held at Up A Creek in Howland, and donations were received from Sam's Club.

Seeing into a Cache of Martian Water
The upper image of this composite is a 'radargram' from MARSIS and shows data from the subsurface of Mars in the water-ice-rich layered deposits that surround the south pole of the planet. The lower image shows the position of the ground track of the spacecraft (indicated by a white line) on a topographic map of the area based on data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor.

The amount of water trapped in frozen layers over Mars' south polar region is equivalent to a liquid layer about 11 metres deep covering the planet.
This new estimate comes from mapping the thickness of the dusty ice by the Mars Express radar instrument that has made more than 300 virtual slices through layered deposits covering the pole. The radar sees through icy layers to the lower boundary, which in places is as deep as 3.7 kilometres below the surface.
This map shows the thickness of the south polar layered deposits of Mars.

"The south polar layered deposits of Mars cover an area as wide as a big portion of Europe. The amount of water they contain has been estimated before, but never with the level of confidence this radar makes possible," said Dr Jeffrey Plaut of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena (California), co-Principal Investigator for the radar and lead author of the study.
The instrument, named the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS), is also mapping the thickness of similar layered deposits at the north pole of Mars.
"Our radar is doing its job extremely well," said Prof. Giovanni Picardi of the University of Rome 'La Sapienza', Principal Investigator for the instrument. "MARSIS is showing to be a very powerful tool to probe underneath the Martian surface, and it's showing how our team's goals – such as probing the polar layered deposits – are being successfully achieved," he continued. "Not only MARSIS is providing us with the first ever views of Mars' subsurface at those depths, but the details we are seeing are truly amazing. We are expecting even greater results when we will have concluded an on-going, sophisticated fine-tuning of our data processing methods. These should enable us to understand even better the surface and subsurface composition."
Polar layered deposits hold most of the known water on modern Mars, though other areas of the planet appear to have been very wet at times in the past. Understanding the history and fate of water on Mars is a key to studying whether Mars has ever supported life, because all known life depends on liquid water.
This map shows the topography of the south polar region of Mars, including topography buried by thick deposits of icy material.

Plaut, Picardi and 22 other researchers report analysis of the Mars Express radar instrument's south polar observations in the online edition of the journal Science.
The polar layered deposits extend beyond and beneath a polar cap of bright-white frozen carbon dioxide and water at Mars' south pole. Dust darkens many of the layers. However, the strength of the echo that the radar receives from the rocky surface underneath the layered deposits suggests the composition of the layered deposits is at least 90 percent frozen water. One area with an especially bright reflection from the base of the deposits puzzles researchers. It resembles what a thin layer of liquid water might look like to the radar instrument, but the conditions are so cold that the presence of melted water is deemed highly unlikely.
Detecting the shape of the ground surface beneath the ice deposits provides information about even deeper structure of Mars. "We didn't really know where the bottom of the deposit was," Plaut said. "We can see now that the crust has not been depressed by the weight of the ice as it would be on the Earth. The crust and upper mantle of Mars are stiffer than the Earth's, probably because the interior of Mars is so much colder."

Background: The use of self-report screening tests for alcohol use disorders in the primary care setting has been advocated.
Objective: To test for ethnic and sex bias in three self-report screening tests for alcohol use disorders in a primary care population.
Design: Cross-sectional study with patients randomly selected from appointment lists.
Setting: University-based family practice clinic.
Patients: Probability sample of 1333 adult family practice patients stratified by sex and ethnicity.
Measurements: Patients completed 1) a diagnostic interview to determine the presence of a current alcohol use disorder and 2) three screening tests: the CAGE questionnaire, the Self-Administered Alcoholism Screening Test (SAAST), and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT).
Results: The areas under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the CAGE questionnaire and the SAAST ranged from 0.61 to 0.88 and were particularly poor for African-American men and Mexican-American women. For the AUDIT, the area under the ROC curves was greater than 0.90 for each patient subgroup. The sensitivity of the CAGE questionnaire and the SAAST at standard cut-points was lowest for Mexican-American women (0.21 and 0.13, respectively). Positive likelihood ratios for the AUDIT were similar to or higher than those for the other screening tests, whereas negative likelihood ratios were lowest for the AUDIT (<0.33), indicating the superiority of this test in ruling out a disorder.
Conclusions: A marked inconsistency in the accuracy of common self-report screening tests for alcohol use disorders was found when these tests were used in a single clinical site with male and female family practice patients of different ethnic backgrounds. The AUDIT does not seem to be affected by ethnic and sex bias.

What kind of cranberries? The bag kind, but prepare them first? This looks awesome! I'm excited to try it!
I used bag cranberries. This dish is amazing! My picky 4year old loved it. One question so I don't waste celery and cranberries we don't normally eat, can I make these and freeze (not cooked obviously)?
These are delicious! They do taste like Thanksgiving. I would definitely make a Paleo gravy to dip them in next time. Thanks!

Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is a Jewish high holiday that completes the period of the high holy days that began with Rosh Hashana one week ago. This year, Yom Kippur begins Tuesday at sundown and ends the following day at sundown.
The holiday, known traditionally as a day to ask for forgiveness, is marked by a 24-hour fast where nothing is consumed and participants often where white or white robes called kittels, to signify purity and humility.
Intense prayer
Despite the many traditions involved in Yom Kippur, many agree that it is a day centered on prayer and forgiveness.
"Yom Kippur is typically a very intense day of prayer and focus," said Rabbi Mark Blazer of Temple Beth Ami. "You are really in prayer every moment of that day."
Blazer also says that because it follows Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, so closely, it provides Jews with another week and a half to focus on starting the year off right by fasting and spending time in prayer.
Rabbi Choni Marozov of Chabad of SCV says the literal translation of Yom Kippur is "a day of forgiveness." He explains to his congregation that it is a very spiritual day and a time to ask God for forgiveness for the things done throughout the year.
"It is not a sad day; it is just solemn" Marozov said. "It is a time to reflect on the resolutions for the coming year and take it upon ourselves to change."
He also emphasizes the holiday was meant as a time to focus on spiritual pursuits and to build relationships. Rabbi Howard Siegel of Congregation Beth Shalom also shared that sentiment.
"The ritual of Yom Kippur is usually celebrated in a synagogue, not at home," Siegel said. "It is the one day of the year when all attention is focused on community."
Before God
Many view Yom Kippur as a day to set things right for the failings of the past year. A day to start fresh and concentrate on working to better themselves. Siegel shared that during this day, Jews stand before God, asking for forgiveness for any moral or ethical failings over the past year.
"We are so close to God's presence on this day," Siegel said. "We stand before him not as a rich man or a poor man, just as a human being seeking forgiveness and seeking change."

Grafton offers mixed bag in new book
"Kinsey and Me"
By Sue Grafton
Marian Wood/Putnam; 288 pages; $28
Sue Grafton's new collection of short stories, "Kinsey and Me," is a mixed bag of material.
There are gems inside that fans of Grafton's "alphabet series" of Kinsey Millhone detective capers are sure to enjoy.
Published in the late 1980s and early'90s in Redbook and in various anthology collections, these breezy detective shorts haven't been as easy to track down over the years.
That makes "Kinsey and Me" a kind of desert oasis for die-hard, read-everything-already fans as they wait for the next installment in the series, the as-yet-untitled "W" book due this year.
But accompanying these solid mini-mysteries is a collection of head-scratchers that simply don't belong in the same volume: 13 quasi-autobiographical stories about a girl named Kit Blue and her painful early life with an alcoholic mother.
It's as if Grafton and her publisher worried that a slender 200 pages of Kinsey Millhone stories weren't enough, that they needed to fatten up the book with something more, anything more, and ultimately wound up with two tastes that don't go great together.
The truth, however, is that "Kinsey and Me" is actually a reprint of a story collection Grafton privately published in 1991, printing a mere 300 copies to distribute among friends and family members.
Grafton's rationale for putting these mismatched stories in the same book?
"I wanted readers to see the curious juxtaposition of my public and private selves," the author has said.
"Kinsey Millhone is an invented version of me. Kit Blue is the 'self' I was 50 years ago.
"These stories are very personal, exploring emotional wounds that have long since healed. I thought others might benefit from seeing the troubles I survived and knowing it's possible to work through painful family issues.
"None of us gets to choose our parents, nor do we have any say in the matter of what happens to us early on in life. The only power we have is to turn our misfortunes to our own advantage instead of allowing ourselves to be defined by them."
Alas, there's only one "new" Kinsey Millhone tale accompanying the eight aforementioned stories. It's a goofy five-page reprint from a 2003 Lands' End catalog in which the heroine persistently plugs the clothing company's Squall Parka with Thermolite Micro insulation.
It's like something Elaine would write for the J. Peterman catalog in an episode of Seinfeld.
If the author really wanted to make this book special, maybe she should have put her back into writing two new mystery short stories. Or a 100-page novella.
Readers are being asked to hand over $27.95 for "Kinsey and Me." They should get something truly special in return.

New mammogram standards are flawed
We, as physicians and experts in breast cancer, agree with the longstanding recommendations of the American Cancer Society for screening mammography, beginning with annual exams at age 40. We disagree with the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recent change in guidelines. We fear that this will discourage women from having mammograms and result in unnecessary deaths from breast cancer.
We believe their flawed analysis of old data underestimates the number of lives saved by mammography. Furthermore, modern digital technology has improved cancer detection in this age group. Even if one accepts a mortality reduction of 15 percent put forth by the USPSTF (rather than 30-40 percent, as has been shown in multiple randomized controlled trials), we feel those lives are worth saving.
They estimate that 1,904 women in their 40s must be screened to save one life, which they find unacceptable. For women in their 50s, 1,339 women must be screened, and they deem this acceptable. We agree with the American Cancer Society that "the lifesaving benefits of screening outweigh any potential harms." At least 40 percent of years of life saved by mammographic screening are of women aged 40-49.
We feel that all lives saved are important, at any age.

Call It The Inevitable
December 8, 2013 - Al Stephenson
The college football games yesterday gave me pause. Yes I know, it is hard for me to stop talking long enough to analyze any thoughts that might pop into my head. I did pause last night however, as I watched the dreams of Buckeye Nation fall completely apart. Let me share those thoughts with you and we can start by saying it was inevitable.
1) It was inevitable that Urban Meyer was going to lose a game as the head coach of the Buckeyes. A 24-1 start is pretty darn good though.
2) It was inevitable that SEC fans would have the opportunity to say "I told you so" in regards to the Buckeyes being ranked ahead of their best team. I just hope they don't harp on the Buckeyes defense. It seems the Auburn defense gave up a few points yesterday as well.
3) It is, as Jesse Palmer indicated last night, impossible for a team to bring it's A game each and every week. He was referring to the Buckeyes not playing the best game of the season against a pretty talented Michigan State team. It is inevitable for any team to have what can possibly be called an off day. It happens folks. Many times it happens because the opponent played better. Unfortunately most fans don't want to hear that. They want perfection and will settle for less than that only if a W is still put on the board.
Somewhere along the way we have made these young athletes into superheroes. When they fail we want an explanation or someone's head to roll. We are not very tolerant of failure. And that is our biggest failure!
I am reminded of the comment attributed to the late Pittsburgh Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh. It is worth mentioning here.
"Sure I'd love to have a pitcher who struck out all the opposing batters. Sure I would love to have a hitter who reached base every time he came to the plate. Sure I would love to have a fielder who catches every ball hit to him. The problem is I can't get that fan in the stands to put down his beer, come out on the field and do all those things!" We need to sit back and enjoy the game of college football and the thrills it provides to us. Our team doesn't have to, nor will it, win every game played.
The view from my seat suggests that the national championship game between Florida State and Auburn has the makings of a great game to watch. It may not be, if one or both teams don't bring it's A game. That could happen you know. You might even say it's inevitable.

Manasquan's senior Jimmy Walsh has been selected as the 40th recipient of the Kerwin Award, which is given annually to the Shore area's most outstanding male and female player.
For the Kerwin family, which has been giving the award since 1973, Walsh's work ethic was a distinguishable characteristic.
"Jimmy is one of the hardest workers I've seen in a while," family spokesman John Kerwin said. "He never lets up the entire game on offense or defense."
Walsh's work ethic is most apparent on the glass, where the 6-foot-6 forward averages a state-high 17.3 rebounds per game. Matched with 18.1 points and 3.6 blocks per game, Walsh can "own the paint," Kerwin said.
In front of a standing ovation in Manasquan, Walsh was presented the award before tonight's NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 2 playoff game. Walsh, who will play at Stonehill College next season, dropped in 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to pace Manasquan to a 87-69 victory over Matawan.

Davis & Elkins College will celebrate a milestone this weekend with the dedication of two completely refurbished athletic facilities. The public is invited to ceremonies planned for the pool at 1 p.m. Friday and the soccer field at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
Located in the Hermanson Center, the pool area was renovated after a roof collapse left the facility in need of extensive repairs. In less than a year, friends and alumni of Davis & Elkins filled a critical need for students. The Raise the Roof Challenge, launched with a $200,000 challenge from Student Assembly in 2012, was fully funded in August with nearly $914,000 contributed.
The facility upgrades include a new slanted roof and a ventilation system, digital pace clocks for lap swimmers, and renovations to the men's and women's locker rooms. In addition, The Inter-Mountain provided generous support for a new state-of-the-art scoreboard.
The D&E pool is home to the Senator Swim Team and the Elkins High School Swim Team during the academic season. It is also used by Elkins Otters Inc. and the community throughout the year.
Students, as well as the community, also will have greater opportunities for playing outdoor sports with the new Astroturf soccer/lacrosse field at Allen Fields.
Earlier this year, college administrators decided the only solution to fixing drainage problems at the grass field would be to construct a new synthetic surface. Alumni and Trustees Bill Nuttall, class of '70, and Hank Steinbrecher, '71, convened a committee of soccer alumni to raise the $600,000 necessary. Under their leadership, the Finish the Field Campaign Committee met by conference call every Monday evening.
Building upon two large anonymous gifts received in May, committee members J. Adam Baumgardner, '06; Erik D. Christie, '88; Nicole 'Cole' Dant, '11; Craig 'Rudy' Eppright, '73; William D. Glenn, '69; Nils A. Heinke, '73; Douglas "Doug" A. Homer, '93; Gary Horvath, '62; Ray K. LaMora Jr., '74; Kathleen "Kate" M. McArthur, '09; William "Scotty" Smyth, '72; Paul S. Stirrup, '60; Charles A. Straw, '70; and Sean E. Walle, '94 continue to work diligently to raise the balance.
The turf field, emblazoned with the D&E logo in the center, opened for play at the beginning of the current soccer season.
Immediately following the field dedication, the Women's Senator Soccer team will take on Alderson Broaddus University. The men's team will face Alderson Broaddus at 2:30 p.m.
Both dedications will include an official ribbon cutting, and remarks from college officials and athletes.

Lycoming nearly rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit on Tuesday against King's, but the Monarchs withstood the Warriors' rally and held on for a 69-66 win on Dutch Burch Court.
The Warriors, who jumped out to a 5-0 lead before King's scored the final 30 of 43 first-half points, closed to two points with 1:35 remaining on a pair of Olivia Manges free throws. King's, though, kept its composure and held on for the three-point win.
Lycoming, which shot an abysmal 26 percent in the first half, improved to 50 percent in the second.
"Well too little, too late," Lycoming coach Christen Ditzler said of her team's comeback. "When you start out so poorly like we did that's a hard hole to climb out of against a quality ball team like King's."
Fouls were an issue for Lycoming as it got caught early in the penalty each half and King's ended up shooting 31 free throws. Lycoming ended the night with 27 fouls and key reserve Chelsea Henderson fouled out with 6:03 remaining.
"Foul trouble hurt us, our guard play hurt us and it was too much to come out of," Ditzler added.
Lycoming struggled from the 3-point line as it only made one three and shot 11 percent from deep. The Warriors also struggled from the free throw line, making only 65 percent of their 25 attempts. But Manges (13 points) went 4-4 in the final 2:44 to keep Lycoming within striking distance.
Lycoming was paced by junior Ali Derr who recorded her first double-double of the year (13 points and 11 rebounds), and senior Julia Antonelli (12 points, five rebounds). Antonelli stepped up in the second half as she scored nine points.
But the best player for the Warriors was freshman point guard Nicole Calella. Calella was great throughout and made big passes and clutch shots. She was also the leader on the court, calling out plays and yelling out commands.
"Well I basically been using the captains here as our leaders and I've been looking up to them and they've been helping a lot, especially the upperclassmen and the entire team has been very supportive," Calella said. "I don't really look at my own performance, I just try to make plays for my teammates and I feel like they were getting a lot of shots. I mean in the second half we scored 48 points, so that's just a matter of teamwork not really individual."
Calella scored a team-high 14 points and dished out a game-high six assists, with just two turnovers. She also made 5 of 8 shots, including the team's lone 3-pointer.
Lycoming received some key minutes from reserve players such as sophomore's Henderson and Tori Siebecker. Henderson (four points, three rebounds), was key in the second half comeback as she played strong defense and made two crucial buckets. Siebecker (two points, four offensive rebounds), was strong on the offensive glass and hustled for loose balls.
King's was led by junior Marissa Manning who scored a game-high 20 points and hit a jumper with 55 seconds left to extend the Monarchs' lead to 64-60.
Jennifer Fabian 5-8 1-2 11, Kayla Feairheller 2-6 3-4 7, Marissa Manning 5-17 9-15 20, Kasey Seitz 1-6 2-3 5, Ashley Davies 3-6 0-0 7, Katie Dugan 0-3 0-0 0, Shanley Harlacker 1-1 2-2 4, Jessica McHugh 1-7 0-0 3, Shae Grim 2-3 4-5 8, Sara Krupinski 1-3 0-0 2, Tara Zdancewicz 1-2 0-0 2. Totals 22-62 21-31 69.
Julia Antonelli 5-102-3 12, Ali Derr 6-13 1-2 13, Nicole Calella 5-8 3-6 14, Janelle Ziminski 1-6 0-0 2, Olivia Manges 3-9 7-9 13, Chelsea Henderson 2-3 0-0 4, Rachel Miller 1-3 0-0 2, Jenna Morgan 1-1 2-3 4, Victoria Siebecker 1-5 0-0 2, Victoria Kowalski 0-5 0-0 0. Totals 25-63 15-23 66.
Halftime- King's 30-18. 3-point goals- King's 4-17 (Davies 1-1, Seitz 1-2); Lycoming 1-9 (Calella 1-1). Fouled out- Henderson. Rebounds- King's 43 (Davies 8); Lycoming 43 (Derr 11). Assists- King's 13 (Seitz 4) Lycoming 16 (Calella 6). Total fouls- King's 20; Lycoming 27. Technicals- none.

In Search of Safety
Many of the millions of refugees and displaced persons worldwide live in dangerous situations, in an unbearable state of limbo, with no way forward and no way back.
Developing countries are host to nearly two-fifths of the world's refugees, many of them struggling to protect the rights of their own citizens as well. A tiny percentage of refugees are resettled to places where they can make a new start and break out of the limbo that they were in. Others return to their country of origin, but are often pressed to do so before they are ready or before their country is ready to receive them. Some are able to stay in their country of asylum, to live and to work, and to enjoy legal rights like the citizens of the country.
In the developed world, in countries like those in Western Europe, North America, or Australia, it is getting harder and harder for refugees to find protection. These governments have introduced restrictions like stringent visa requirements, penalties on airlines that bring asylum-seekers into a country, and detention. These restrictions are designed to deter people from coming to their countries to seek protection.
Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the United States
Almost every year in the United States the government attempts to reform and increase the harshness of immigration legislation. Refugees and asylum seekers are always a part of this debate because any change to immigration law affects their ability to gain access to U.S. borders so that they may make claims for protection, avoid prolonged detention, and receive a fair hearing. Yet, the effect of immigration reform on refugees and asylum seekers is almost entirely absent from discussion in the Congress and the media.
Amnesty International believes that refugees and asylum seekers must be remembered and considered in the larger debate on immigration reform. Specifically, as legislators and lay people think about border issues, they must remember that U.S. borders often present the only viable avenue for protection to asylum seekers from around the world, that asylum seekers have the right under international and domestic law to seek protection in the United States, and that any increased enforcement measures must not take place in a manner that violates the human rights of asylum seekers.

Must-see summer movies
Movies are as seasonal as mini-golf, food trucks and iced tea. The temperature rises, the studio release schedule heats up, and Pow! Bang! Bam! goes the soundtrack.
To help you sort through the coming months of megaplex madness, here are nine popular genres with a focus on the likeliest winners in each category.
- "Sex Tape" -- Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, a married couple with the blahs, make a naughty video that escapes their control thanks to this new thing called the Internet. Unless they can retrieve it before it's discovered, they're a click away from ridicule and worse. The film's packed with funny people, including Jack Black, Rob Corddry, Rob Lowe and Ellie Kemper. Opens July 25.
- "Think Like a Man Too" -- The various couples from the first ensemble comedy reunite for a big Las Vegas wedding. Then the bachelor and bachelorette parties spiral out of control, ending with most of the cast in jail. Sounds like a matrimonial "Hangover" movie: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering. The increasingly popular Kevin Hart stars, with Gabrielle Union, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall, Romany Malco and Megan Good. Opens June 20.
Tough guys
- "The Expendables 3" -- Tongue-in-cheek irony meets bullet-spraying action adventure as a team of aging meatheads (Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Statham, Snipes, more) go against ruthless arms trader Mel Gibson. So, another Dinosaurs of Rock tour for steroids-sloshing '80s action stars. This one includes real-deal MMA star Ronda Rousey adding a bit of bone-breaking cred, but the series won't light up for me until they pull in Kurt Russell. Opens Aug. 15.
- "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" -- Even the good guys in this graphic novel adaptation are so hard you could strike a kitchen match on their eyelids. Robert Rodriguez channels the blood-geysering design DNA of Frank Miller's urban comic book melodrama. These movies are less about story than ominous atmosphere. With Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Rosario Dawson, Lady Gaga and Bruce Willis. Opens Aug. 22.
Kid stuff
- "How to Train Your Dragon 2" -- This follow-up to the 2010 blockbuster is set in a Viking neverland where dragon racing is the hot new sport. There's an invasion looming, and the expected aerial combat. At heart, though, it's about Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), a teen with parent troubles, and a steadfast flying lizard. With the voices of Jonah Hill, Gerard Butler, Kristen Wiig, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Cate Blanchett. Opens June 13.
- "Maleficent" -- Angelina Jolie goes dark and intense in Disney's villain-centric reworking of the Sleeping Beauty story. The film explains why the spell caster bitterly cursed the young princess (Elle Fanning) to hibernate on her 16th birthday. From the badly wronged witch's point of view, it's simple payback. Opens May 30.
- "Edge of Tomorrow" -- The future is glitchy in Tom Cruise's sci-fi war movie. His starship trooper finds himself trapped in a time loop, dying in battle every day, then back among the living to face the brutal alien enemy once again. Emily Blunt plays a battle-hardened vet who teaches him to use the time-tripping anomaly against the invaders. Directed by "The Bourne Identity's" Doug Liman. Opens June 6.
- "Jupiter Ascending" -- Will this be the film that returns the Wachowskis to the glory of their "Matrix" pinnacle? Or another "Speed Racer"/"Cloud Atlas" fiasco? Hard to deduce much from the dazzle and action-heavy previews, which give us Channing Tatum as a pixie-eared space soldier and Mila Kunis as an earthling Cinderella who's actually an alien empress. Opens July 18.
Bombastic beasts
- "Godzilla" -- The stomping sea monster is a brilliant concept rarely executed well. Gareth Edwards ("Monsters") may be the man to make that right. He announced he aims to make the movie as emotional, realistic and dark as possible. Previews show monumental power unleashed on an unprepared humanity including Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, Elizabeth Olsen and David Strathairn, none of whom do schlock. Opens May 16.
- "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" -- A pandemic has left a band of human survivors among genetically evolved apes ruling San Francisco. The chimpanzee Caesar (Andy Serkis), lovingly raised by humans but brutalized by others, is the conflicted leader of the apes' society. Will he find an accord with the armed humans who emerge from hiding, or lead his colony against them in a species-against-species war? Opens July 11.
Song & dance biopics
- "Jersey Boys" -- Clint Eastwood's previous experience with movie musicals was limited to the regrettable "Paint Your Wagon." This time, though, he's behind the camera for the story of the rise of doo-wop dreamboat Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young, a vocal dead ringer) and the Four Seasons. Expect retro-chic looks, backstage squabbles, hit songs and Christopher Walken as the well-connected wiseguy godfathering their careers. Opens June 20.
- "Get On Up" -- Chadwick Boseman plays the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown, in this music-filled biography from Tate Taylor ("The Help"). The mercurial R&B legend rose from poverty to superstardom, battled drug addiction, was arrested for domestic violence and repeatedly faced financial ruin, but the tone here is mostly upbeat. The all-star cast includes Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Dan Aykroyd. Good God! Opens Aug. 1.
- "A Million Ways to Die in the West" -- Seth MacFarlane serves up a raunchy Western parody. He stars, too, playing a cowardly sheepherder courting the new gal in town (Charlize Theron) while weaseling out of duels with the territory's meanest gunslinger (Liam Neeson). Look for comically exaggerated violence, celebrities Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Silverman and Giovanni Ribisi lampooning their screen personas and kooky musical numbers. Opens May 30.
- "22 Jump Street" -- Johan Hill and Channing Tatum return to the scene of the crime for more gags and gunplay. The game plan is to supersize every quality that made "21 Jump Street" a crossover hit: More shouty Ice Cube as the cops' exasperated captain, more bro-tastic emotional tension in the partners' relationship, and way more drugs. Opens June 13.
Young adult drama
- "The Fault in Our Stars" -- Two teens meet at a Cancer Kid Support Group and fall in love. The film stars the extravagantly gifted Shailene Woodley ("Divergent") and Ansel Elgort (who played her brother in that film -- awkward). Novelist John Green has insisted that he wouldn't sell his book's film rights unless he was convinced the adaptation would be quality moviemaking. This one looks as if it just might capture the tonal balance of his sad, funny, joyful best-seller. Opens June 6.
- "Boyhood" -- Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette star as the parents of Ellar Coltrane in this domestic epic. Director Richard Linklater ("School of Rock") filmed over a dozen years, capturing his young star's passage from first grade to college in real time. It's an enchanting coming-of-age drama like no other. Magically, its transitions never feel gimmicky. It plays like art, not time-lapse photography. Opens July 11.
- "X-Men: Days of Future Past" -- Marvel's mutant militia rallies against a future ruled by the Sentinels, giant combat robots. The only way to defeat the threat is by sending Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back to 1973 to warn Charles Xavier (James McAvoy). Actors from 2011's hit "X-Men: First Class," including Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender, fight alongside original players Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry and Ellen Page. Reportedly the costliest superhero movie to date. Opens May 23.
- "Guardians of the Galaxy" -- Chris Pratt plays larcenous earthling Peter Quill, with Zoe Saldana showing her range as his green-skinned sidekick. In the interests of diversity, the team includes the anthropomorphic alien tree Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) and pistol-packing furball Rocket Raccoon (spoken by Bradley Cooper). Opens Aug. 1.
