FAU Participates in MLK Day of Service
BOCA RATON, FL (February 7, 2011) – More
than 80 students and staff volunteers from Florida Atlantic
University participated recently in FAU's MLK Day of Service
at the L.A. Lee Family YMCA in Fort Lauderdale.
The FAU volunteers cleared land in the YMCA's playground area to plant a butterfly garden, built four raised community garden beds with cedar planks and removed overgrown vines from a perimeter fence. Artists Denise Anderson, FAU alumnus; Hilary Nicole Leblanc, FAU graduate student; and FAU student Soledad Del Real also painted three themed murals on the inside walls of the YMCA, titled "Youth Development," "Healthy Living" and "Social Responsibility."
"The children at the YMCA now have three new colorful, positive-message wall murals that support the focus areas of the YMCA," said Nori Carter, director of the Weppner Center for Civic Engagement and Service at FAU. "FAU students and staff also planted gardens to inspire them to lead healthy, holistic lifestyles. The impact FAU students and staff were able to have will leave a lasting impression on not only the participants, but also the children who will be benefiting from the services provided."
Sponsors of the event included FAU's Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Weppner Center for Civic Engagement & Service, Multicultural Programming, Students Advocating Volunteer Involvement (SAVI) and Helping Out Our Town (HOOT).
"I personally feel that it is something great when a community can come together to make a difference," said Sam Monroe, executive director of the L.A. Lee Family YMCA. "It was Dr. King's dream that we come together as one, striving to make a difference in the lives of the communities that we serve."

i've seen dawson box live. best athlete i've ever seen in a boxing ring.
the problem is that fights aren't fought on paper. dawson has never been the sum of his parts. he's always something less. whether it's a lot less (diacanu fight, pascal, etc,) or just a bit less (hopkins 2, johnson 1, adamek,) he can always do more
ward is as good as he can be. if dawson finally lays it all out on the line he could make this into a great fight. i dont think he's ever going to do that. i used to. i used to think there would be a coming out party for dawson, that he would let his hands go, and he'd start kicking everybody's ass the way he should.
if we have not seen it yet (he's going to be 30 in two weeks,) it's not going to come out.

Ive gone against the grain and voted Ward by KO.
Whilst he isn't the greatest knockout artist, his recent talk has been based around "Proving i'm the p4p best" instead of "proving im the best at 168". It looked pretty close that he was going to knock down Froch at least once or twice during those middle rounds when Froch, and Froch has a granite chin... i'm not sure how good a comparison it would be to compare Froch's chin to Dawsons, but you may also say that Dawson's totally different style wont allow for it.. but I disagree. I think he also said that he has focused more on his KO power now rather than his tactical ability for his fans and for his legacy.
I think Ward feels he has something more to prove to the world, and at 168 he knows he has a great platform to showcase it... so I feel he may go for the KO, even despite Dawson's rival tactical ability.
Just my thinking though

NO way in hell this fight ends in a kncokout. This fight reminds me of Alexander/Bradley and I think it will play out in almost the same fashion.

Logic tells you that Ward should win a UD but I can see Dawson pulling it off. I don't think it should be considered an upset because this is a very close and interesting match up.
The reason why I think Chad has a great chance is because Ward has yet to face an elite fighter with that type of style, which is why I wanted to see him in against Dirrell. Yes he's looked amazing against the European style of boxing, his biggest wins being Froch, Kessler, and Abraham but I'm curious how he does against a slick southpaw with speed and power. If Ward dominates Dawson, I think we're talking top 3 P4P fighter here, maybe only second behind Mayweather.

The nation's military families may pay a little more for bread and milk next year.
The Pentagon's proposed budget for 2015 includes a cut in subsidies for commissaries. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said he hopes to slash the annual direct subsidy for military commissaries by $1 billion. While Hagel insists that commissaries will remain a bargain, military families said they will feel the pain as they shop for groceries.
"I think that's kind of outrageous," customer James Southard said. "We're already paying enough."
"I think they ought to cut the budget somewhere else besides the military," he said.
The budget proposal has already drawn fire for its drastic reductions in the size of our military forces.

Libertad and Untitled are both great albums; I personally like Untitled more. I didn't get Underclass Hero, but I like Sum 41 so I may. I have heard mixed reviews about that one though. And I hate (c)rap so I have no opinions about Kanye West.
P.S. it may be too heavy for you but Devildriver has a new album out that is absolutely insane! I love it!

I am starting at midnight tonight.
I'm in. DiabetesCanKissMyButt is in. I think sf40 as well. Anyone else want to join? Post your meals here to share...(read: J needs more ideas for food!) Share your exercises. Come join us.
Eat real food meat, fish, eggs, tons of vegetables, some fruit, and plenty of good fats. Eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because theyre natural and unprocessed.
More importantly, heres what NOT to eat during the duration of your Whole30 program. Omitting all of these foods and beverages will help you regain your healthy metabolism, reduce systemic inflammation, and help you discover how these foods are truly impacting your health, fitness and quality of life.
- Do not consume added sugar of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, stevia, etc. Read your labels, because companies sneak sugar into products in all kinds of ways.
- Do not eat processed foods. This includes protein shakes, pre-packaged snacks/meals, protein bars, milk substitutes, etc.
- Do not drink alcohol, in any form.
- Do not eat grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, millet, oats, corn, rice, sprouted grains and all of those gluten-free pseudo-grains like quinoa. (Yes, we said corn!) This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch and so on. Again, read your labels.
- Do not eat legumes. This includes beans (black, kidney, lima, etc.), peas, lentils, and peanuts or peanut butter. This also includes all forms of soy soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
- Do not eat dairy. This includes all cow, goat or sheeps milk, cream, butter, cheese, yogurt, whey, ice cream, etc.
- Do not eat white potatoes. Its arbitrary, but they are carbohydrate-dense and nutrient poor, and also a nightshade.
- Most importantly do not try to shove your old, unhealthy diet into a shiny new Whole30 mold. This means no Paleo-fying less-than-healthy recipes no Paleo pancakes, Paleo pizza, Paleo fudge or Paleo ice cream. Dont mimic poor food choices during your Whole30 program!
One last and final rule. You are not allowed to step on the scale for the duration of your Whole30 program. This is about so much more than just weight loss, and to focus only on your body composition means youll miss out on the most dramatic (and lifelong) benefits this plan has to offer. Give yourself a well-deserved, long overdue break from fixating on that number on the scale! Absolutely NO weighing yourself or taking comparative measurements during your Whole30.
Even if you fall flat on your face, at least you're moving forward!
I am starting at midnight tonight.
Even if you fall flat on your face, at least you're moving forward!
I've been on board for two days now. Geesh, no measurements. Ok.....
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I'm in for another 30DONN at any rate. I'm tweaking some different things and going full on Whole30 isn't quite where I want to go. My January ends on the 6th of Feb (and thats my birthday! so there will probably be some less healthful food choices to be eaten...). Then I'm ready to go again. y thoughts are to ditch dairy entirely (I've been continuing to do a bit of heavy cream in my coffee) and play with some VLC and/or IF. Just some experimenting to be done. But I'm in for February fun!
I've just finished my 4th day of 30 DONN.
While it's really close to Whole 30, I can't call it Whole 30 because I'm going to have limited amounts of butter, where it can't be avoided. I'm being practical here, my family's not going Whole 30, and they don't care for things fried with coconut oil, or bacon drippings on their veggies, and I'm not making two versions - and half the time I'm not the cook.
"Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." Douglas Adams
"Moderation sucks." Suse
"Wine is a vegetable." Meaty
"Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow and the day after that." Cmdr Chris Hadfield
I'm not giving up my butter. it's not used daily and when it is used, its used sparingly. The rest of it...I'm tossing. As soon as midnight gets here.
Even if you fall flat on your face, at least you're moving forward!
Yep, I'm in.
Giving up butter will be hard. However, I think I need to be strict with this. Making exceptions got me into trouble with primal. We steam and grill a lot of vegetables and add butter for eating, so I'll just have to experiment with other fats. Hubby can still add butter.
Just finished my last meal with butter for 30 days. A left over chicken and vegetable soup with lots of butter. Will start Whole 30 when I wake up tomorrow morning.
I was just given a gallon of raw goat milk, so I'm going to be making yogurt out of this precious treasure, but... other than that I'm in. If that renders me void, so be it. I will not waste such a lovely thing!
Little Saiyan
im in..
one exception - i have coconut milk in my tea. if that disqualifies me so be it ...
and i reserve the right to have a glass of wine at a planned paleo dinner... if that disqualifies me so be it.
and yes i too dislike people who say "im in but" however those are my caveats and if that diswqualifies me so be it !

Snow Day! Science Activities with Leftover Snow and Ice
O.K., so school has been out for two days and everyone has cabin fever. Here are a couple of ideas for not only your students, but perhaps your own children as well. Just what the meteorologist ordered, some cool science experiments using all that left over snow and ice.
As I sat at home today wondering if school would be canceled again tomorrow, I thought I might spend some time investigating practical scientific uses for all the leftover snow and ice around my house and classroom. I actually found some pretty interesting ideas. Ironically, had I known about the first one I'm going to mention, I probably would have re-thought the picture I posted with this blog. So here they are, some neat stuff to do with snow and ice:
1. How clean is snow? Really?
Gather some snow, about 3-4 cups and melt it using a pan and a hot plate. Cover a bowl or cup with something porous like layers of paper towel and secure with a rubber band or tape. Pour the melted snow through the layers of paper towels. Look for sediment or other particles left behind on the paper towels. If doing this with students, instruct them to gather snow from different locations around the school and at various levels in packed ice and snow (just to change some variables). They can make predictions about which snow they think might be the cleanest and which they would be willing to consume before melting and straining. This idea was discovered on the following website, http://www.suite101.com/blog/elho2/snow_and_ice_experiments_and_fun.
2. Growing your own snow crystals.
I haven't tried this one, so I am providing the link. It involves dry ice so there would be prep time involved. This one doesn't use left over snow and ice, but was too cool not to mention. Check it out. http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/project/project.htm
3. Comparing the density of snow, ice, and water.
This activity infuses a lot of math into the experimentation. For the detailed lesson(s) I have provided the link: http://astro.uchicago.edu/cara/southpole.edu/flaky.html
Finally, did you know that there is a National Snow and Ice Data Center? You probably did, but being a southern girl, I had no idea! On their site there are numerous ideas for activities and research, as well as "cool" facts all about snow and ice. Here is the link: http://nsidc.org/snow/index.html
Warm Wishes-
Comments (2)
Hello, As I sat here, getting snowed in by the winter blizzard, I just had to click on this blog. I'm not sure if we'll have school on Monday, seeing as we're already snowed in, and it's still coming down hard.
Thanks for the ideas! My students will surely love them.
Thanks Heba!
Hope your students have fun with these ideas.
I hope I can also be a good teacher as Teacher Stacey...we have the same name. I am in college right now taking up teaching.
Hi Stacey-
You're going to adore teaching! There's nothing like it in the world. Good luck finishing your degree.

Ajust released study on Tasers no doubt piqued the interest of the family of a Mount Joy man who died after police stunned him with one of the electronic stun guns.
Two children of Robert A. Neill Jr. recently filed a federal lawsuit in Philadelphia, claiming Arizona-based Taser International makes a law-enforcement tool that is "unreasonably dangerous."
The suit also charges that local police used excessive force, including hog-tying their father, causing him to sustain head injuries and multiple rib fractures.
Neill, 61, died in the early morning hours of Nov. 8, 2010, after being tased at least three times, including once in the chest, during a confrontation with police.
Ironically, Neill had called police to his apartment, complaining of being harassed.
Taser International stands by the device, which has had 3 million uses worldwide with relatively few problems, and the company has been successful in fending off lawsuits like the one filed by the Neill family.
But the company received a shock, following release the other day of a scientific, peer-reviewed study that shows - for the first time - that Tasers can cause cardiac arrest and death.
Circulation, the American Heart Association's premier journal, published an article online that examined eight cases involved the TASER X26 ECD. Seven of the people died.
The article concludes that the shock of a Taser can trigger cardiac arrest as a result of "an abnormally rapid heart rate and uncontrolled, fluttering contractions."
Taser International criticized the study, saying the authors only looked at a handful of cases.
Indeed, Tasers figured in only a few dozen of the 500 cases worldwide where there have been deaths. Other factors, such as drug use and prior medical conditions, often came into play.
The Heart Association study may provide ammo for the Neill family as it seeks monetary compensation for the loss of a loved one.
Add previous research that has questioned the wisdom of shooting a suspect multiple times with a Taser, and the company that produces the devices may be in for the fight of its life in the Neill lawsuit.
But other research has shown that Tasers are not to be blamed - or, the evidence is inconclusive - in the vast majority of the cases worldwide where people have died.
Moreover, other research has shown that Tasers can save lives and reduce injuries among police officers.
In short, an officer is less likely to kill someone with a Taser than if he fires bullets at a suspect.
That may be the biggest thing Tasers have going for them.

Coffee crops are harvested multiple times per year depending upon multiple geographic changes such as temperature, moisture, elevation and the individual species growth patterns. The majority of coffees in the world are picked by hand. After the coffees are picked from the trees and sorted the coffee bean is removed from the bright red cheery casing using one of two methods the dry method or the wet method. Once the coffees have been milled properly they are sorted and graded.
Coffees are harvested in some of the most remote places in the world and are effected by a variety of conditions such as Altitude, sun exposure, rainfall, diurnal temperature range and soil quality. Each green bean is tested in our moisture content tester and weighed against our other data to properly evaluate test and compare flavor profile similarities and differences.
Our staff and our partners consistently work with farmers of producing countries to improve their methods of harvesting growing and drying coffees. This is the only way that we can consistently get the highest quality coffees from around the world. We work with the farmers on methods of improving their land and processes to maximize quality and consistency. Our goal is the best coffees for our customers and their consumers and a fair price for our farmers.
Our buying model is like the rest of our company, designed to pay a fair price for the highest quality coffees in the world. We do this by working direct with importers and farmers to insure maximum quality and consistency from harvest to cup. We pay prices that reward maximum quality and devote our time, money and energy in developing programs that will help the farmer~Rs progress in their standards of living and education. Are strict methods of grading coffee insures maximum quality and this is verified within the guidelines of our strict quality control system. Each coffee is cupped and compared prior to shipping and after shipping to pass our extremely high standards.
Ritual Grounds coffee buying philosophy and goals are simple.
- Develop direct trade relationships with farmers from single origin plantations
- Provide a fair price for those crops and work together with the farmers on improving their methods of harvesting to provide the highest quality harvest possible
- Meticulously compare, evaluate, test and cup each origin of coffee to maintain our strict quality standards and flavor profiling.
- Provide the highest quality product available consistently
The dry method is when coffee is spread across the ground or on trays under the sun to dry for two to three weeks. The coffee cherry is then milled to remove the fruit pulp from the coffee bean.
In the wet method the coffees are placed in large tanks to ferment for 12-24 hours. The cherries are then washed in water and dried briefly prior to having the bright red cherry milled from the coffee bean. This can be referred to as ~Swashed Coffees~T and can have a more distinctive refined flavor than those coffees using the dry method. This is due to a more refined fermentation process that is controlled within the 12-24 hour range rather than possible under or over fermentation using the dry fermentation process. Another large contributor to the fine taste of the wet processed coffees is in the wet method the farmers will use only ripe cherries and during the dry process the farmer might use over-ripe and immature cherries combined with the ripe cherries.

WASHINGTON (AP) – There is no national database of guns. Not of who owns them, how many are sold annually or even how many exist.
Federal law bars the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from keeping track of guns. The only time the government can track the history of a gun, including its first buyer and seller, is after it's used in a crime. Despite calls for new limits on gun sales and stronger background checks, there is no effort afoot to change the way the government keeps track – or doesn't – of where the country's guns are.
When police want to trace a gun, it's a decidedly low-tech process. Charles J. Houser, who runs the ATF's National Tracing Center, says a routine trace can take about five days.

It's been a busy couple of weeks at Newspaper Club HQ. Lots of you will have been receiving your invitations to try out the beta, and we've been ironing out bugs in ARTHR and making sure everything is running as smoothly as could be.
The Engineering Dept. managed to squeeze in the time to make a newspaper of their own. It's made entirely with ARTHR, our online layout tool, as a bit of a demo of what's possible.
Atoms For Peace is a bit of a collection of articles about nuclear power. Lots of stuff that I've been meaning to read, but not got round to yet. I knocked it together in about 90 minutes, over a couple of sittings.
It's got Eisenhower's original speech:
An article from Wikipedia about the next generation of reactor designs:
Some pictures from the Library of Congress, found through Flickr Commons:
As you can see, it's a black and white newspaper, and I printed five of them. The typography is crisp and clean:
And punchy images seem to work quite well:
Most of the articles were imported into ARTHR using the "import from web" function – you simply paste in a URL and ARTHR fetches the web page and grabs the content for you. Then I scoured around Wikipedia and Flickr for images I could use under license to break things up a bit and make the pages a bit more interesting. Such as this Uranium element, from Wikipedia:
Once everything was together, I spent a while rearranging everything and making it flow properly.
And then I went to print. I got in a couple of hours before the Tuesday printing deadline and received it in the post this morning (Friday).
If you're interested in making something similar, or even entirely different, stick your email on the list and we'll try and get an invite out to you shortly.
There are some more pictures over on Flickr.

Hi Jan,
We lived there from April until Oct last year after we sold our condo downtown. There were a fair amount of positives for living there for us. 1) We were looking to buy a new home while we rented so the location was in walking distance to just about every house we wanted to look at. We would walk by the house either before or, more likely if we were interested in the home, after a showing. We just put our two kids in the double stroller and took them and the dog for a walk. So... location was great. And we hit tons of parks on those walks as well. 2) Before moving to OP, we really didn't know the area that well at all. It was great to be just down Lake Street (more on that in a minute) and be a part of everything going on. 3) We only wanted a 6 month lease. OPCA would do that for us. Most other places wouldn't and we didn't want to try to rent a house. 4) The staff are super nice. Unfortunately, Cindi the manager has moved back to the Detroit area and she was really helpful. Manny, the head engineer, has been there I think over 20+ years. He's awesome. The staff were always throwing things together for resident events. It was classy. 5) We wanted a covered parking spot. The parking in the building, though very very tight, was good for us with the two young kids (and dog). 6) As you can guess, the place was dog friendly. 7) Walking to the Farmers Market right down the street was amazing. Loved it.
A few things that frustrated us there, but I would assume these would vary by what people were looking for. 1) We were using to laundry in our unit downtown. So, having to walk to the other side of the building was a bit different. The annoying part, really, was that you had to go down to the first floor to get money put on your card for laundry. 2) There was a problem with the A/C in the building for a good part of the summer last year. It wasn't pushing air very well into our unit but it wasn't the case for all units. It was just the pump for our floor/side of the building. I think if it had affected more of the building they might have jumped on it earlier? We were on the top floor, which, I suggest for lowering noise, esp with kids sleeping, but that made our bedroom really hot from the heat off the roof. The kids room was on the lower level of our place and it was a bit cooler thankfully. 3) Lake Street can be great. However, the kids coming out of High School each day can be just a little bit of a nuisance. Not too bad, but they can be really loud sometimes. They are kids, right? 4) The building backs up to a Fire Station. We moved from the city to get away from the noise (we were in a really loud street of Congress downtown.) I would highly suggest if you get a place to get one facing Lake Street. It's on the opposite side of the Fire Station. The Firemen were super nice though. Great with our kids. If you want a place closer to the elevator, then try to get a place that looks into the front garden area. That's pretty nice and peaceful.
I'm sure I could think of more, but that's all I've got right now. I'm sure my wife will read this and tell me what I missed. Overall, we were happy to finally get a house but for the time we lived at OPCA, we were happy that we chose it.
Thanks, Todd! We do like the location and covered parking. It's helpful to hear about some of the frustrations so that if we do rent there we go in with our eyes open. Would love to hear any additional thoughts from your wife.
Btw, we're moving from a noisy street in New York and expect that anything will seem quiet in comparison! But it does seem that sometimes noises like fire engine sirens stand out more when there's less background noise.

Authorities say a Yosemite National Park hotel worker who went missing for nearly three days is recovering after she apparently plunged 35 feet while hiking in rugged terrain.
Her aunt tells the Modesto Bee that 23-year-old Jessica Rose Garcia suffered a broken pelvis and leg. She also was scheduled for spinal surgery.
Garcia was last seen on Saturday. A search began the next day after she failed to show up for her first day of work at the Wawona Hotel. Dozens of searchers scoured the park.
Authorities say Garcia apparently fell about 35 feet and was without food or water until rescuers found her Tuesday afternoon.

Fremont, Calif.-based iGATE Corporation (UNKNOWN: IGTE.DL ) gets a new CEO next week.
On Wednesday, iGATE announced it has named Ashok Vemuri to replace interim CEO Gerhard Watzinger as president and permanent chief executive officer effective September 16, 2013. Watzinger will remain with iGATE briefly thereafter to assist with the transition.
Vemuri comes to iGATE from Indian outsourcer Infosys, where he served as a director and also as head of the Americas unit and global head of manufacturing and engineering.
His new title notwithstanding, in one sense at least, this is a step down for Vemuri. At Infosys, he was responsible for a business running $4.7 billion in revenues and Infosys's biggest business unit. At iGATE, although he will run the whole show, he will perform under a smaller tent -- just $1.1 billion in companywide revenues.
Commenting on the hire, iGATE highlighted Vemuri's experience at a big revenue operation as one thing that recommended the candidate: "Ashok brings a tremendous track record of success and accomplishments working across a range of businesses at Infosys, where he was directly responsible for driving growth for numerous multi-billion dollar businesses. He is a talented and established leader, and the Board has great confidence in his ability to drive iGATE to continued growth into the future."
Investors seem to share the confidence. After notching a 2.2% gain on Wednesday, iGATE shares gained an additional 2% in after-hours trading after the CEO announcement.

By Glen Seeber: CNJ staff writer
For months, when Clovis area farmers and ranchers smiled, it may have looked more like a grimace. But that has all changed in recent weeks.
Over the past week, Clovis has received more than 2 inches of rainfall, prompting big grins and the forecast of big bucks for those in the agricultural business.
"We've had what some folks like to call a 'billion-dollar rain,'" Tye Curtis, co-owner of Curtis & Curtis Seed, said Monday afternoon. "It's amazing how much income derives from rain. Wheat has gone from 'nothing' to 20-bushel wheat. It's been positive for everybody; I don't know of anybody who would have a negative."
Curry County Ag Agent Stan Jones agreed.
"You'll have a hard time finding a farmer or rancher who doesn't have a smile on his face, thanks to the rain," Jones said.
Dairy cows may experience minor problems in the wet weather, he said, but "dairymen farm a lot of land, too, and they'll have grins as big as everyone else."
"Two months ago, there was no wheat. Now, barring hail, we should see a good wheat crop," Jones said.
There is a dark side to the improved wheat picture, depending on whether cattle are grazing on it.
"Any time you have cattle on a wheat pasture, you have bloat. But ranchers and farmers put out a mineral — on wheat, it's high magnesium — to take care of bloat."
Bloat occurs when cattle develop too much gas, and are unable to expel it because of some obstruction, according to a University of Florida Web site. Too much gas results in labored breathing and, without relief, ultimately death.
"This is certainly an economic situation," Jones said. "You don't make money if you don't have live cattle, so most ranchers put out critical minerals."
Although West Nile Virus has been of concern in this area, it is not a problem at present, he said. "It's still too cold for mosquitoes."
A freeze, on the other hand, could cause problems for farmers. The wheat, again, comes into the picture.
"A freeze can cause damage on the wheat if it's getting ready to boot and put a head up," Jones said. "With a freeze, the head would come up but never put any grain on it. It would never produce grain."
Curtis said he spoke with several farmers about the possibility of a freeze Monday night.
"If it gets cold enough, it could cause problems. But it may be 30 degrees tonight. One farmer said as long as it doesn't hit below 27, he'd be OK," Curtis said.
Jones added: "Hopefully it will not be enough of a freeze to cause a problem."
Meanwhile, the wet weather has delayed another aspect of agriculture.
"A lot of people are ready to plant corn and plant cotton and, in May, plant grain sorghum. With the rain, they can't do anything" because the fields are too wet, Jones said.
"But they'll gladly wait. Last week they had zero days to be in the field."
Curtis said, "It's a big gamble that agriculture has: Do you plant and hope for more moisture, or be conservative and don't plant, because you expect it to be dry?"

Dance Artist Cynthia Word to Discuss Arts Integration and Role as a Teaching Artist
BOCA RATON, FL (October 20, 2011) –The School of the Arts in Florida Atlantic University's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters will present a free lecture with professional dancer and teaching artist Cynthia Word on Friday, November 4, at 3 p.m. in the Schmidt Center Gallery. This gallery is located in the Performing Arts Building on FAU's Boca Raton campus, 777 Glades Road.
After introducing her artistic background and current work as the artistic director of Word Dance Company in Bethesda, Maryland, Word will discuss her experiences as a teaching artist and her use of arts integration methods when providing arts education programs in school settings. Her lecture is aimed at arts students, faculty in the arts, kindergarten through 12th grade teachers and administrators, and professional artists in South Florida interested in learning more about arts integration and the role of a teaching artist.
Word Dance Theater, the company founded by Word, specializes in the dance philosophy of Isadora Duncan, who is revered as the "Mother of Modern Dance." Since 2001, the company has created six major productions in the Washington, D.C. area and has performed in other national and international venues. Word has also been involved in providing arts education by working with numerous schools and arts agencies. Through training from the Kennedy Performing Arts Center in Washington D.C. and Lincoln Center in New York City, she has developed successful methods for working with teachers and children in schools by employing arts integration methods.
In her lecture at FAU, Word will discuss how artists can work in school settings as "teaching artists" and how employing arts integration techniques, a method of combining arts and other academic disciplines, can benefit schools arts programs by linking to core curriculum. Implementing such arts education philosophies in the schools, including developing a regional core of teaching artists, is a goal of the School District of Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. Word is visiting Palm Beach County in association with a professional development workshop for Palm Beach County teachers at the Kravis Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 5.
Word earned a Masters of Fine Arts degree from George Washington University, where she also started her teaching career. She received an honorary certification in teaching and performance from the Isadora Duncan International Institute and also serves as a Dance Education Consultant with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Word's lecture at FAU is presented in association with FAU's School of the Arts' Kennedy Center Partnership with the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and the School District of Palm Beach County, and is made possible by the Barry and Carole Kaye Arts Integration Fund in FAU's School of the Arts. For more information about the lecture, call 561-297-2966.

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester celebrated her 22nd birthday Saturday night in true Blair Waldorf fashion. The actress, dressed in a red, one-shoulder Armani mini-dress and Jill Stuart heels, partied with friends (including costars Nicole Fiscella and Sebastian Stan) at New York's ultra-exclusive Bungalow 8. The birthday girl twirled and spun around the upstairs dance floor overlooking the club's main room before being presented with a chocolate cake with vanilla icing by Fiscella and a club waitress. Meester sipped champagne as she continued to dance along to Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and The Foundations' "Build Me Up Buttercup," until the wee hours of the morning.

It's spring, and kids and teens can be found at area ball fields in the parks and on school grounds practicing their throws to first base and hitting fly balls and line drives. They're fielding, pitching and catching in preparation for opening day when clean, crisp uniforms are donned, the first games of the season are played and picture-taking amid pomp and circumstance abounds.
Oh yeah, and there will be hot dogs, too.
Open day for organized youth baseball, softball and T-ball in Somerville will be Saturday with a ceremony at noon at Carol Pager Park.
In Raritan, the season also officially commences on Saturday at Frelinghuysen Park, with a 10 a.m. ceremony start time. In Branchburg, inaugural games are on Saturday, April 30, at White Oak Park, with a ceremony at 10:30 a.m.
Bridgewater already had its opening-day celebration at the Prince Rodgers Baseball Complex on April 9.
While youth baseball in the summer can be highly competitive, spring ball is more about fun, according Brian Smith and Steve Sokol.
Smith is president of Somerville Baseball Inc., while Sokol heads the Branchburg Baseball Club. Both organizations run youth ball programs in their respective towns.
'We are 100 percent recreation and instructional in the springtime." Smith said. "More so than building baseball, we're trying to build a community."
One of the goals of spring ball, he said, is to provide the more-than-190 young players with "the best baseball experience of their lives."
The sense of community, he said, is reflected in the 40-plus volunteer managers, coaches and parents involved, and encouraged with the teams from three other towns.
"For 13-to-15-year-olds, we have those same towns, plus we've added Bound Brook, Middlesex, which is new this year, and Branchburg, which is also new this year." Smith said.
Fun seems to be name of the game in Branchburg as well. "This is recreation baseball," Sokol said. "Winning is not the important thing."
All of the 750 and more players in Branchburg are encouraged to try every field position, including pitching and catching, said Sokol, who has two sons age 10 and 12, who both participate.
As a fundraiser for the organization, an annual all-star game will be played on Sunday, May 22. The players involved, however, are not selected by the coaches. "The kids pick them," Sokol said. "It's who they feel is the best representative of their team. It's a lot of fun. That's what it's all about."
With financial assistance from generous parents and business sponsors, Sokol said he is "focusing on building up the infrastructure," which means upgrades for the ball fields and providing some creature comforts for players and fans alike. There is a bathroom at the very front of White Oak Park, but only portable toilets near the ball fields. "I would love to say by next year, we'll have a bathroom (near the fields)," Sokol said.
Sponsors also help keep costs stable for parents from year to year, which is also a priority in Branchburg and Somerville, especially in the midst of a persistently sluggish economy.
"Yes, costs are increasing because of commodity costs for uniforms, etc., but we're working to keep the parent cost the same by increasing our efforts with sponsors," said Smith, speaking about Somerville Baseball Inc.
Even though spring youth ball is ultimately about fun, most, if not, all the area organizations are prepared for those rare occasions when individuals — be they players, coaches, parents or spectators — behave badly at a game, perhaps overtaken by a competitive zeal in the heat of the moment.
"Thankfully it's not that often," Smith said. "Again we try to emphasize community, and we do have code-of-conduct forms. Signatures are required by all players, all parents and all coaches."
If code-of-conduct issues arise, there are volunteers called coordinators or commissioners designated to resolve any conduct issues they can, he said, otherwise such issues come before the board of directors. "We've got procedures in place to resolve those types of issues," Smith said.
So it seems area youth ball organizations are more than ready for a spring season of fun. Let's play some ball!
A few roster spots on teams may still be available. Interested players and parents can visit:

Whassup: Thank God We're Not in Tampa Edition
Calm down, everyone. I know we've all got the Paul Ryan fever. Those dreamy eyes. That rock-solid athlete's body. That Ayn Rand-infested brain. The Republican National Convention is in full effect, and so I know all of Park Slope is horny with political rage. Channel that emotion into something worthwhile -- alcohol-fueled revelry -- with this week's lineup of events. It's Whassup: Thank God We're Not in Tampa Edition:
* Thursday, Aug. 30: Vaselines, Bell House: The revived popularity of 90's alt/grunge bands continues unabated (it's not just me, right?). The Vaselines were one of those bands Kurt Cobain pulled into mainstream awareness -- remember the achingly mournful "Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam" on the Unplugged album? Yeah, Vaselines song. The group also released its second album a couple years ago, called "Sex with an Ex," a pretty good metaphor for returning to the music of your teenage years, I think. 8pm Doors, $22 DOS.
* Saturday, Sep. 1: Dr. Who Premiere, Weigh Station: The Weigh Station -- that steampunk-themed, sorta-jazz bar in Prospect Heights -- is pretty much designed to be a Dr. Who screening spot. The bathroom is inside a Tardis, for geekdom's sake! (The Tardis being the eponymous hero's time-traveling phonebooth/vehicle.) Don't be embarrassed to dork out -- you'll be among friends. Doors 4pm, Screening 6pm, FREE.
* Monday, Sep. 3: West Indian Day Parade, Crown Heights: If you want to spend your Labor Day amidst an overwhelming spectacle of sights, sounds, and smells -- check out the West Indian Day Parade. Probably something to see at least once while you're a New Yorker. Then, you can scoff at the boring parades back home once you eventually flee this place. 11am, FREE.
* Monday, Sep. 3: Moth Storyslam, Bell House: As Park Slope continues along its march toward storyslam dominance, it's good to revisit the grandadday of these events: The Moth's been doing it longer and with more acclaim, and should swell the performance area of the Bell House for this month's theme: "Collaboration." 8pm, $8.
* Tuesday, Sep. 4: Punderdome 3000, Littlefield: The puns, the dad jokes, and the big, floppy ties are all back! It's an audience-judged, amateur pun competition that involves, among other things Payday candy bars flung into the audience, a human-powered applause-measurement device, and impromptu sitcom sing-a-longs. So, that should at least make you curious. 8pm, $6-7.
* ONGOING: Hank's Saloonvation, Hank's: Hank's Saloon, recently able to forestall foreclosure, stands as a divey monument against neighborhood redefinition via the Barclay's Center. Or, maybe it's just a pleasantly run-down place with an affection for country music. Either way, they're struggling to stay afloat and are asking for donations. As mentioned on Brokelyn, it is a business, so maybe you could help out more productively by going and buying a beer or two. I tend to agree.

THE Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) — the labour federation that plays a defining role in our politics and economy — spent last week in discussion over the state of its organisation and its bargaining strategies.
But the bigger question on the minds of many was not whether a campaign for a minimum wage would be endorsed (which it was), but rather what events might have said about the fate of its outspoken general secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi. For the past two weeks, Vavi's future has been in the balance following allegations of corruption levelled against him in a central executive committee meeting by leaders of many of Cosatu's biggest affiliates.
The interest in Vavi goes beyond the interest outsiders have in Cosatu itself. While this will irk unionists who don't like to think any individual is bigger than the organisation, the truth is that the role Vavi has played — as counter to the all-embracing power of the African National Congress (ANC) — matters more to political and economic stakeholders than the resolutions the federation might take on wage policy.
In the past two weeks, members of civil society organisation, analysts working for international banks, risk assessment agencies and foreign embassies have made earnest inquiries about Vavi's future. Many left-oriented civil society bodies have relied on their links with Cosatu, through Vavi, to give them greater relevance. But to market watchers in the financial sector, Cosatu's economic policies are anathema. Nonetheless, his bloody removal from the political scene would make them equally anxious.
In his 14 years as head of Cosatu, Vavi has gone where no other leader of the alliance has dared: his graphic characterisation of some in the ANC as hyenas feeding on the state and his condemnation of ministerial profligacy and corruption at times have been stronger than the official political opposition.
Vavi's future, however, was not on the conference agenda. The only visible sign of the internal strife was the mournful song delegates sang as Vavi took to the podium on the first day, indicating that all was not well in the federation. It was a song Cosatu used to sing for President Jacob Zuma in his time of difficulties with the law: "Vavi's heart is holy; take me by the hand so I don't fall; I will seek shelter in it." But the mood was subdued and sombre and not everyone rose to join in.
It was clear that Cosatu, which has weathered all manner of ideological and political divisions in its 27 years, now had a house more seriously divided than ever before.
At the root of this division is disagreement over Cosatu's stance towards the Zuma administration. Leading up to the ANC's Mangaung conference in December, there were heated debates whether Cosatu would support Zuma for another term. In the end, Vavi, who had reconsidered his support for Zuma after what he felt was Zuma's failure to pursue a radical agenda, lost this debate. He was forced — in the interests of keeping Cosatu united — to acquiesce as the federation again gave Zuma its support.
But while Cosatu ostensibly retained its unity by backing Zuma, some of its top leaders — such as Vavi and National Union of Metalworkers of SA general secretary Irvin Jim — moved further away from the ANC, while others moved closer. Some of Cosatu's most influential leaders from its biggest affiliates — the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) president Senzeni Zokwana, National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union general secretary Fikile Majola and Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini, who also happen to be central committee members of the South African Communist Party (SACP) — stood for election to the ANC's national executive committee and now serve in its top leadership structure.
It is these three, plus others from the NUM, the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union and the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union, who form the core of Vavi's challengers.
The objective is to get him to step down in response to insinuations of corruption and criticism of his leadership. But how possible will it be for them to make this happen?
Cosatu's central executive committee is an immensely powerful body. On it sit the national office bearers, provincial chairs and secretaries and representatives of all 20 affiliates. The committee has the power to remove a national officer bearer should there be grounds to do so.
Do such grounds exist in Vavi's case?
One of the most distasteful dimensions of Cosatu's internal fight has been the partial role played by several journalists, who have published information from parties to the conflict designed to smear Vavi. For example, allegations have appeared in the press to the effect that Vavi sold Cosatu's former headquarters for R10m less than the market price. But such a direct allegation has not been made in a Cosatu meeting.
What has happened in Cosatu meetings is the articulation of innuendo and doubt, without substantiation. There is therefore no knowing whether the claim has any veracity. As Cosatu's investment arm, Kopano Ke Matla, managed the sale, and as Vavi knows his survival depends on unimpeachable behaviour, the claims don't easily ring true.
Last week, Cosatu's top leadership resolved a way to deal with these and other accusations. A commission of three will be established to which individuals with criticisms and allegations of any sort will be asked to give evidence. Led by lawyer Charles Nupen, respected trade unionist Petrus Mashishi and an accountant they will appoint, the commission will look into the matters that have been raised under four themes: political issues; ideological issues; administrative matters and financial matters.
The administrative and financial matters will be relatively easy to deal with: there will either be evidence against Vavi or there won't. But the politics is a grey area — the political and ideological issues will inevitably revolve around the public stance Vavi has taken on a range of matters. There is a feeling among the pro-Zuma group in Cosatu that Vavi has spiced up and exaggerated Cosatu's political positions. This, some say, has resulted in him deviating politically and ideologically from its agreed positions.
Here, the commissioners will need wisdom. Both sides believe passionately they are the guardians of Cosatu's special brand of political unionism. While one side stresses the relevance of Cosatu's political alliance with the multiclass ANC, the other stresses its independence as a working-class formation. These two dimensions are also the main contradiction in the tripartite alliance.
While political actors and observers have assumed that the break-up of the alliance would entail the SACP splitting off from the ANC to pursue a more radical agenda, the disintegration process is proving much more chaotic. With the ANC more united around Zuma after Mangaung, it is ironic that having pulled the SACP and some of Cosatu's top leaders closer, it is now Cosatu that faces the threat of a split in its own ranks.
It is this political process that endangers Vavi's political future — far more than unsubstantiated allegations of corruption.

As some of you may remember, a few months back the lovely people at Lelo sent me a Mia to review. The Mia is a cute lipstick-sized vibrator that is powerful enough to induce a screaming O in under 5 minutes but small enough to be kept in your purse at all times. I highly recommended it and if you haven't checked out the review, go over here and get yourself caught up.
A few weeks ago my friend Claire at Lelo hit me up and asked if I'd be interested in trying out their new line of couples' massagers and of course I jumped at the chance. So she sent me the Tiani which is basically a wireless wearable massager.
Let me tell you guys – this thing is amazing.
You can watch the video for a more in depth review, but basically this is how it works. It comes in two parts – a vibrating arm that is meant to go inside the woman's vagina (leaving more than enough room for the man to join the party) and a wireless remote control. The remote is built with Lelo's SenseMotion™ Technology which means that the speed and intensity of the vibration is controlled by movement – turning or tilting the remote will change the speed and mode. The best part is that the remote also vibrates so it's essentially an instrument of pleasure all on its own.
The vibrating arm is designed so that it stimulates the clit from the outside (#win) and the g-spot from the inside (#winwinWIN) and please believe me when I tell you that it takes fucking to a whole other level. Please believe that. And like everything that comes from Lelo it comes with extras like a packet of lube, a carrying case, a wall charger and a 10 year guarantee. TEN years. That is seriously amazing. And of course it comes in a beautiful black-on-black box that I may or may not have left in my living room one more than one occasion without drawing any attention to the fact that there's a vibrator on my coffee table.
Seriously this thing is awesome. The one caveat I have for you is that reading the instruction manual is a must. The first time I used it I just dived right in and didn't get to experience it to its full capacity. But once I sat down and read the manual and realized what the Tiani is capable of the second time was a whole other story. Like I said in the video, the Lelo Tiani is wholeheartedly max-approved and I strongly urge you to go out and get you one.
And don't let the fact that it's a couples' massager thwart you if you're single – believe you me you can have a lot of fun with this by yourself. A LOT of fun.
Enough talking – go out and try this and come back and tell me how much you love it. So what do you guys think? Have you used a couples vibrator before? Think you'll try out the Tiani? It's Friday – overshare with me in the comments.
bag lady. digital nerd. beauty junkie. shoe whore. i'm a sucker for big words and box-fresh kicks. know a little bit about a lot of things and have something to say about everything.

I agree! Very pretty Max!
That looks like a good valentine's gift!
I wanna try it!! Def just sent a text to my bf… Let's see how long it takes him to respond lol

In 1952 John Cage made musical history when he programmed 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence into a concert. The now famous piece is just one example of the composers avant-garde approach to classical music.
Spoleto resident conductor John Kennedy programmed Sundays Orchestra Uncaged concert to celebrate the centenary of Cages birth.
When looking for a composer to accompany the late eccentric, he wanted someone as far removed from the classical mainstream as Cage. He found that someone in Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood.
Its not easy to pair something with Cage, Kennedy said. I wanted a young composer who embodies his spirit as an outsider. Jonny Greenwood immediately came to mind.
Orchestra Uncaged features music by both groundbreaking artists: Greenwoods Doghouse and 48 Responses to Polymorphia, and the U.S. debut of Cages orchestral trilogy, Twenty-Six, Twenty-Eight, and Twenty-Nine.
Cage was a pioneer, Kennedy said. He was one of the first composers outside of mainstream classical music to still have a deep influence on it.
Cage approached classical music from a somewhat radical position. Sundays trilogy, for example, uses a method called time bracketing, which replaces the conductor with stopwatches. The stopwatches will synchronize the performers while Kennedy looks on from a seat in the audience.
Greenwood trained as a violist in his youth and studied classical music (briefly) at Oxford Brookes University. Since erupting onto the alternative rock scene with Radiohead in the early 1990s, he has been patiently redefining his role as a musician.
In March, Greenwood released an album with 89-year-old Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, whose 1961 piece Polymorphia inspired Greenwoods 48 Responses. Prior to that, Greenwoods most recognizable solo work was the Grammy-nominated score for the 2007 film There Will Be Blood.
Greenwood is best known for his work with Radiohead a three-time Grammy winner for best alternative album and one of the most influential bands of the 21st century. Rolling Stone ranks Greenwood No. 48 on its list of 100 greatest guitarists, ahead of icons like John Lennon (No. 55) and Slash (No. 65).
Rock stardom, however, seldom translates to respect in the classical music community.
Pop artists from Deep Purple to Yes to Metallica have dabbled in the classical realm, but few have navigated its waters as successfully as Greenwood. Typically, the orchestra serves as mere background music for wailing guitars and charismatic front men. When Paul McCartney tried his hand at orchestral composition with the 1991 Liverpool Oratorio, critics trashed his efforts.
Frankly, it could make you punch a hole in a pew, wrote a critic with The Guardian regarding McCartneys classical work. Even Entertainment Weekly called the album only occasionally embarrassing.
So what does Greenwood have that Sir Paul and so many others lack?
He understands that making an orchestral composition is very different from writing a song, Kennedy said. And he doesnt take composition lightly. Hes a serious student of music.
Greenwoods education has taken place outside the classroom. His collegiate music studies were interrupted after only three weeks when Radiohead signed a record deal. Like Cage, Greenwood approaches classical music from the fringes. Where Cage pushed the boundaries of what the genre was capable of, Greenwood has pushed the boundaries of genre itself, having spent most of his career in alternative rock.
Greenwoods genre-blending style appeals to classical musicians and pop music fans alike.
Its intriguing to study Greenwoods personal compositional style, and then observe how its synthesized into Radiohead, said Kayleigh Miller, a violist playing in Sundays concert. His contributions to (Radiohead) are often textural and timbral, such as the textures of Arpeggi or the old-timey instrumentation of Life in a Glass House.
Despite spending three decades working in pop music, Greenwood has found ways to weave classical music and orchestral instruments into songs hes written for Radiohead.
His Life In A Glass House, from Radioheads album Amnesiac, features drawling clarinet and a horn ensemble. He strokes his electric guitar with a violin bow on Thom Yorkes Pyramid Song. And his Motion Picture Soundtrack, the closing track on the platinum disc Kid A, opens with a dissonant organ, reminiscent of the clashing chords of 48 Responses.
The range of color and the different types of sound he uses are very sophisticated, Kennedy said. Because of the way hes worked with Radiohead and the way he thinks about sound orchestrating all the different sonic possibilities in a band he can apply a unique approach to the acoustic orchestra.
Chris Baker and Leah Harrison are Newhouse School graduate students.

on March 6, 2013 - 1:00 AM
By Mike Gross
Last week, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced plans to cut $240 million from nonprofit providers of supports to New York State's most vulnerable population. This is a 6 percent cut to agencies that have already sustained 9 percent cuts the last three years. These providers service 80 percent to 90 percent of all people with developmental disabilities who receive services.
The pending destruction of service is due to a controversy between Albany and Washington over rates charged by the state. The mutually agreed upon rates allowed New York to receive $5,000 per day for individuals residing in state institutions. At first glance this rate sounds deplorable, but it was the way to strengthen community services that allowed people to leave institutions while also providing for others living with their families to garner the support they needed to live safely and productively. The rate was scrutinized by Congress and four presidents for 30 years but is now an embarrassment to Congress and ripe for political payback. The result is devastating to our most vulnerable population.
All cuts fall to nonprofit providers with no impact to the state-operated system. With no funding increases in three years and no money for development, our families must shoulder more care that is unique to them. No other family group is left to provide cradle-to- grave care.
While a 6 percent cut may seem responsive to taxpayers, in truth it is irresponsible. One does not use a meat cleaver approach to serious fiscal problems (see sequester). Responsible cuts need to be precise, effective and leave room for regrowth when the opportunity arises.
While nonprofits are coping with cutting services, jobs and salaries, they are also being held to more regulations. Organizations are overtaxing shrinking resources in response to regulations that were put in place due to abuses found in state operations, not private agencies. Where is the promised regulatory relief so we could spend more time and money assisting individuals and less on paperwork?
Now the state has the gall to ask individuals and families to join in a partnership toward managed care, which will be our magic bullet. Managed care is doing less with less. So nonprofits are facing a total of $590 million worth of cuts that have happened or will occur, an increase in regulations and compliance that accompany managed care, a hostile attitude toward time-honored services while being asked to trust the government and partner into a future that is ill-defined and ill-conceived.
This is shameful action by Washington and Albany. It is harmful to our most vulnerable people, their families, our dedicated employees and the community as a whole. It speaks volumes as to our civilization and its true test.
Mike Gross is executive director of Heritage Centers.

Despite numerous conflicts between Russia and Turkey in the past, the two countries appear to be moving closer together. This current rapprochement is due to the West′s waning attraction, argues Stefan BuchenMore
Germany is facing a crucial question. How can the refugees be stopped? Demonstrating an alarming lack of historical awareness, Chancellor Angela Merkel is putting all her faith in an alliance with Turkey. Yet as events of the early 20th century clearly showed, Germany should never make its political destiny dependent on co-operation with the nationalistic Turkish state. An essay by Stefan BuchenMore
The call by the AfD for a ban on Muslims being able to practise their faith freely and publicly is an attack on the German constitutional right to freedom of religious expression. If people start calling for minarets to be erased from public life, then it is not unreasonable to expect that one day, those minarets will burn, says Stefan Buchen
The "Aleppo Evil" is spreading rapidly in Syria – an infectious disease spread by sandflies, insects for which the rubble of destroyed cities offers the perfect breeding ground. And once again, the West is looking the other way. By Stefan BuchenMore
What happened in Cologne is being instrumentalised on all sides. Islamist preachers such as Pierre Vogel and Muslim representatives in Germany are using the events to clalm that salvation lies, as ever, in the strict observance of religious rules. This is simply serving to widen the rift, writes Stefan Buchen
Although Hungary is just a transit nation for many refugees on their way to Western Europe, the country's government – led by right-wing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban – has been conducting a campaign of xenophobia for months. Background by Stefan BuchenMore
It is arguably already too late for European governments to understand that with the introduction of border controls, they cannot change the reality of flight and the search for asylum. But these measures are creating political divisions across the continent that will be difficult to heal. A commentary by Stefan BuchenMore
In view of the refugee crisis in Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel should enlist the services of high earners and the wealthy when addressing this acute issue of national importance. This would send both a necessary and shrewd political signal that could have immense significance for the preservation of social stability, says Stefan BuchenMore
In his impressive novel "The Meursault Investigation", Algerian author Kamel Daoud reopens the case of one of the most famous murders in literary history. His book lends a voice to the Arab murder victim in Albert Camus' "The Stranger" and is also an angry reckoning with contemporary Algeria. By Stefan Buchen More
Anyone who thinks that the Sunnis in Tikrit and Mosul will welcome the opponents of Islamic State with open arms as liberators is mistaken. They fear the Shia militias even more than they do IS. This shows how the inner-Islamic religious war has polarised Iraqi society. By Stefan BuchenMore
The islands of stability in the Arab-Islamic world are shrinking. In the face of war and chaos, the West continues to cling to its new-old allies: the "moderate Sunni regimes". The aim of this alliance, which purportedly shares goals and ideals, is that "good Islam" will conquer "bad Islam" with Western support. By Stefan BuchenMore
Iraq is in the grip of a devastating inner-Islamic religious war. The conflict has an inherent dynamic that cannot be stopped by presidential wishful thinking or a hurried visit to Baghdad by US foreign minister John Kerry. Stefan Buchen commentsMore
Anyone seen filming in Cairo these days should expect to be approached by an upright citizen demanding to see a permit and referring to the omnipresent threat of terrorism. On the eve of the presidential election in Egypt, fighting terrorism and not boosting the country's crippled economy seems to be right at the top of the political agenda. A commentary by Stefan Buchen in CairoMore
In Germany, helpers of Syrian refugees are being put on trial. These lifesavers are being treated like enemies of the state. In his polemic, Stefan Buchen addresses a German border guard and encourages him to prevent the misery of the Syrian civil war from spilling over into EuropeMore
The intelligence services' frenzied data analysis is the latest and for the moment, the last in a series of imbalanced responses to the attacks of 11 September 2001, says investigative journalist Stefan Buchen who, according to a report in the German news weekly Der Spiegel, has himself been the subject of security agency investigationsMore

As the first director of a German archaeological institute in Jerusalem, he amassed a substantial collection of photographs.

Turkey is not a very Christian country to say the least, but the Turks like a good party. I think many nowadays decorate their houses during winter with the paraphernalia of Christmas, but for the purpose of the New Year. Including inflatable Father Christmas's.
These are the men selling them.
