Law enforcement officials say they believe they know why a man fire-bombed a mosque in New York City on New Year's day.
The suspect, arrested on Tuesday, was apparently angry that the Imam Al-Khoei Foundation Center wouldn't let him use their toilets.
A molotov cocktail was thrown at the Islamic cultural center on Sunday as worshippers gathered for dinner. The resulting damage to the building was minimal.
The suspect could still be charged with a hate crime because he made some anti-Muslim statements.
The man also allegedly targeted other New York-area sites on Jan. 1 over personal grievances. Similar molotov cocktails were thrown at the home of a Christian family, a Hindu temple house, and a home in nearby Elmont reportedly inhabited by people of Indian descent.
No one was injured in the attacks, but a private family home was destroyed by flames.

DOHA: Several main roads in the city may soon be permanently declared one-way streets with the aim of regulating traffic in a smoother way to ensure there are no traffic jams.
This is part of a solution the authorities have come up with as part of a four-year plan to regulate traffic and end chaos on Doha's roads.
Massive plans are also afoot to develop internal streets within the city to ensure smooth traffic flow.
This was disclosed by a senior official from the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning yesterday.
Assistant Undersecretary at the Ministry, Ali Al Abdullah, told the Advisory Council that he agreed with Council members that traffic snarls were a major problem in Doha and hence the Ministry was taking the above steps to address the issue.
He said studies conducted by his Ministry had confirmed an acute shortage of retail shops and affordable housing.
The findings have been referred to the agencies concerned (for their attention).
He said that a total of 65 studies had been conducted on the real estate situation in the country, and some 207 reports had been prepared and forwarded to several government agencies.
As for office space and high-end residential units, the official said they were surplus and expected to meet the requirements of a rising population beyond 2015.
In Pearl-Qatar and the Towers area of West Bay, residential units in the high-end category were in excess, he said.
Al Abdullah was invited to the Advisory Council yesterday to make a presentation on Qatar Master Plan (development plan).
The plan, incorporated in a draft law, is with the Advisory Council for discussion and review. The Council approved the draft and sent it back to the State Cabinet.
Al Abdullah said some 50 villages in the country were being redeveloped by Ashghal for the purpose of decongesting Doha. More villages will be redeveloped in future.
The installation of basic infrastructure in these villages will be completed in two years by Ashghal.
The official said that a livestock market each was being developed in the north, south and west of the country, but the plans had been delayed.
He said government schools being built now were spacious and covered an area of 30,000 square metres. The idea is to provide enough space for training for the Fifa event in 2022.
These schools were earlier built over a space of 10,000 square metres. The space was later doubled to 20,000 square metres, and now it has been trebled.

The Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) is pleased to announce its program for the year 2003 (June 23 to August 15). For the thirty third time since HUSI's establishment in 1971, students from all over the world will have a unique opportunity to study Ukraine at the leading American University. This summer, HUSI will be offering seven university-accredited courses:
Beginning Ukrainian (8 units)
UKRN S-Aab
Alla Parkhomenko, PhD, Kyiv State University
An intensive course for students with little or no knowledge of
Ukrainian. Basic grammatical structures are introduced and reinforced
through an active oral approach. By the end of the course students are
expected to develop the ability to conduct short conversations in a range of familiar situations related to daily activities, understand simple factual texts, and write routine messages they will be able to create with language, initiate, maintain and bring to a close simple exchanges by asking and responding to simple questions. A variety of genuine sources will be used to establish an authentic environment."
Intermediate Ukrainian (8 units)
Yuri I. Shevchuk, Ph.D., Kyiv State University
An intensive review of basic structures is followed by expansion of these grammar fundamentals. Emphasis will be on oral communication using basic conversational patterns. Major emphasis will be placed on the development of vocabulary, with readings and videotaped programs focusing on contemporary cultural and political issues. By the end of the course students will be able to narrate and describe in major time frames, deal effectively with unanticipated complications in most informal, and some formal, settings on topics of personal and some general interest.
Advanced Ukrainian (8 units)
Volodymyr Dibrova, Preceptor, Department of Slavic Languages and
Literatures, Harvard University
This is an intensive course for students who wish to develop their
mastery of the language. Reading selections include annotated articles on contemporary issues in business, economics, politics, and culture. Short written reports and oral presentations will be part of the course. By the end of the course the students will be able to discuss extensively a wide range of general interest topics and some special fields of interest, hypothesize, support opinions and deal with linguistically unfamiliar situations. Classes will be conducted largely in Ukrainian.
Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) funding is available to US graduate students.
20th-Century Ukrainian Literature: Rethinking the Canon (4 units)
George G. Grabowicz, the Dmytro Cyzevs'kyj Professor of Ukrainian
Literature, Harvard University
A survey of the major writers and works of 20th century Ukrainian
literature with a special focus on how their reception and evaluation has been reconfigured by Ukraine's independence. The course will examine among others such movements and developments as modernism, the "executed renaissance" (rozstriliane vidrodzhennia), socialist realism, the literature of dissent and emigration, underground literature and post-modernism through close readings of representative works.
Prerequisites: Reading knowledge of Ukrainian or permission of the
Modern Ukraine (4 units)
John-Paul Himka, Professor of History, University of Alberta
The course explores the emergence of the "Ukrainian idea" at the turn of the 19th century, its thickening in a literary renascence and political discussions, its transplantation and transformation in Galicia, and its fate in the international crisis of 1914-20. Then the course examines the Soviet Ukrainian state in the 1920s and 1930s, the Ukrainians living outside it in "Central Europe", the cause and effects of World War II, the crystallization of Soviet Ukrainian nationhood, and the transformation of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic into independent Ukraine.
Theorizing Ukraine: Politics, Theory, and Political Theory (4 units)
Alexander J. Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, Newark
A historically and comparatively informed examination of social science approaches to conceptualizing and theorizing politics and political developments in Ukraine. The course investigates concepts and theories of the state, revolution, nation, nationalism, empire, elite, socialism, totalitarianism, transition, civil society, modernization, political culture, and democracy. Both concepts and theories will be discussed in relation to one another, in light of modern Ukrainian history, and with reference to other countries.
Studying 20th-Century Ukraine: Theory, Methodology, Identity. (4 units)
George G. Grabowicz
John-Paul Himka
Alexander Motyl
The goal of this interdisciplinary seminar is to examine the theory and methods that are applied to the study of 20th-century Ukrainian history, political science and literature. The seminar will focus on the present state of the disciplines, their interaction and the problems and issues such an interdisciplinary approach raises. Topics treated will be Ukrainian political and cultural historiography and the larger comparative context; the theoretical, social and artistic articulations of nationalism and communism; the uses of ideology and cultural politics; and the range of articulations of post-modernism and post-colonialism.
Primarily for graduate students and for qualified undergraduates.

policy and other HUSI related information, please, visit our new home page.

Dear Therapists,
I feel stuck in a very stressful situation. My daughter is 23 years old and lives at home with my husband and I. She is working at her first job and saved some money for herself, and has recently been bringing up the idea of moving into her own place. She points out that most of her American friends are already living on their own, and that she wants to be more independent. However, in our culture, it is not so common for young adults to move out of the house until they are married. We don't know why she wants to leave us. We give her everything, and allow her as much space as she needs. This has caused stress in our relationship and is very concerning to us. How do we deal with this?
Confused Mother
Dear Confused Mother,
It sounds like you really care for and adore your daughter. We understand that this situation is complex and a difficult process for you and your husband. There is a lot to consider here. Culture and tradition is a strong component especially among immigrant families versus the first generation Americans. However, there are also developmental dynamics that are worth considering. Do you have real concerns about your daughter's safety or wellbeing? Do you believe that your daughter is capable of living on her own yet? Do you trust that her bond to you is strong enough that she will remain connected to you? All those issues considered, it is not unusual for parents to experience the empty nest syndrome at the exact time as you are experiencing it. Don't forget that you have had your daughter to focus on for 23 years. Your life may have revolved around your plans, your goals, and your dreams for her. Of course it makes sense that the possibility of her moving away is threatening to you. You may feel that you are losing her. However, her desire to leave does not mean that she wants to leave YOU. It means that she is ready to fly and explore the world through her own eyes. You have provided shelter and love for her for 23 years, and hopefully you have prepared her to become independent and to have skills to take care of herself; you have given her the biggest gift of all. Usually at this stage, parents have to reevaluate their roles and identities. This can be a growth experience for both of you. Ironically, as your daughter grows to become an adult, and you reevaluate your identity separate from being a mom, you may find a deeper and more mature connection with her. You might want to consider, that if anything, you have done a good job raising her and instilling enough confidence in her so that she has the courage to take this step.
At the end of the book Chosen by Chaim Potok there is a story from Talmud about "a king who had a son who went astray. The son was told, 'Return to your father.' The son replied that he could not. The king then sent a messenger to the son with the message… 'Come back to me as far as you can, and I will meet you the rest of the way."

A federal judge has ruled a Ten Commandments monument must be removed from a city hall in New Mexico.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of two local Wiccans, saying the monument in front of Bloomfield City Hall violated their religious freedom. U.S. District Court Judge James Parker agreed.
"In view of the circumstances surrounding the context, history, and purpose of the Ten Commandments monument, it is clear that the city of Bloomfield has violated the Establishment Clause because its conduct in authorizing the continued display of the monument on city property has had the primary or principal effect of endorsing religion," he wrote in his Aug. 7 decision.
The judge ordered the display be removed by Sept. 10.
City attorneys argue the monument was funded by private individuals under a resolution that allows people to erect historical monuments of their choosing.
Bloomfield Mayor Scott Eckstein was shocked by the ruling.
"I am surprised [by the decision] and had never really considered the judge ruling against it because it's a historical document, just like the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights," Eckstein told the Daily Times.
"The intent from the beginning was that the lawn was going to be used for historical purposes, and that's what the council voted on," he said.
The city has 30 days to appeal the ruling.

Radon Daughters is the third of Iain Sinclair's novels; one which may be regarded as closing a trilogy begun by White Chappell, Scarlet Traces (1987) and Downriver (1991). Like the earlier novels, and like most of Sinclair's poetry and non-fiction writing, it is a work profoundly concerned with place – specifically, the landscape, history and people of East London. However, while the capital remains the primary setting for Radon Daughters, the novel also narrates journeys to Oxford and Cambridge – the triangulation of the three sites returning Sinclair to a fascination with lines of psychogeographical and "occult" connection first explored in Lud Heat (1975) – and, in the short final section o…

MUNCY - It costs too much money to play football here.
That's what the Muncy Youth Football Association told the Muncy School Board Monday night about user fees that the organization is supposed to pay in order to use the district's football field and facilities.
John Larose, a board member with the football association, said he understands the school district's need to recoup some money from using its facilities, but he said $43 an hour during the course of a weekend afternoon of youth football is too pricey.
"It did catch us off guard a little bit. It was something we were not expecting," he said of the figure.
Larose asked the board for a waiver of fees, adding the organization would rather pay for upgraded equipment for kids instead of paying for someone to open and close the school stadium.
He said it would cost more than $800 for one home event, which would include the school's fees and referee costs.
"We just want to maintain this program," Larose said.
He said the organization has been able to stay afloat with fundraising activities and concession sales, but paying a school district user fee would be a budget killer.
Thomas Gardner, school board president, told Larose the fees originated from community input last year designed to help the district capture costs from non-school functions. He said the costs are for personnel only and do not cover field maintenance or electricity use.
Larose asked if board members of the organization, who also are paid district employees, could be used to provide manpower on a volunteer basis.
"I'd really hate to see us leave Muncy and play all our games away," he said, adding that the football field has been used for the youth program for more than 30 years.
Jeff Sampsell, another football association board member, said the East Lycoming School District has offered to take in Muncy's program at no cost.
"I don't think we're looking to chase anybody away," Gardner said.
Brian Krah, school board member, suggested the district's policy be reviewed. Gardner added that any policy change would have to include other organizations that use school facilities.
Board members agreed to suspend any fees until the district's athletic committee reviews the policy.

A bill under consideration in California's Senate would prohibit the possession, transportation, release and importation of a number of wild animals, including quaker parrots (monk parakeets).
The Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee passed Senate Bill 1424 in a hearing held March 25, 2008 and the bill moved to the Appropriations Committee where it will be voted on again. The date for the hearing has not yet been scheduled.
The bill would repeal and amend the current list of species the state's Fish and Game Commission uses to determine which types of animals might pose a threat to the state's native wildlife or that raise an animal welfare concern.
According to a spokesperson from the office of Sen. Michael Machado, who sponsored the bill, the purpose of the bill is to update Section 28 of the Fish and Game Code and will not change the legality of owning certain birds in the state of California.
Genny Wall, legislative vice president for the American Federation of Aviculture, has monitored the progress of the bill sees no need for concern among California parrot owners at this time.
"If it becomes evident that the intent of this bill is to ban all parrots within the state of California, then we will issue a legislative alert and request opposition to the bill," Wall said.

If you have a phone -- and a credit or debit card -- the Pennsylvania Attorney General is warning about a new scam.
Innocent victims are getting automated calls from scammers claiming that a hold has been placed on their credit or debit card.
"And if the consumer believes that it is their card, they'll be asked to press one and then it'll ask them to enter their credit card information before they can talk to someone in customer service," said J.J. Abbott, an attorney general spokesman.
Abbott said real credit card companies will never ask you to leave information this way.
Authorities said these calls come from toll-free phone numbers. Many of these scammers use spoofing software to conceal their real numbers.
"With more and more information being online, people's telephone numbers do get out more so it's just important to be educated and be proactive and protect your personal information as best you can," Abbott said.
Consumer authorities say..
- Never give out personal or billing information over the phone
- Never wire money or purchase green dot-type prepaid cash cards
"The big thing we want people to remember is that, don't get emotional or nervous, just remember that they're in control of their information and that they can always hang up and call the company directly," said Abbott.
This credit card scheme is just the latest phone scam we've seen. Recently PPL warned about scammers pretending to work for utilities.
"They are creative, you see all different sorts of phone scams from credit card to debt to taxes," said Abbott.
So the next time you pick up that phone, ask questions about who's on the other end.

Gold Medal
Half cocked and fully loaded
Not even trying to sugar coat it
You're aimed at me but you're shooting blanks
And it dosent hurt,
Thanks but no thanks
But it's a matter of time
Till you get yours and I get mine
It might not be me
But you're gonna answer to somebody
You've got one foot in your mouth and
One foot in the grave
You were diggin a hole but now
You're diggin a cave
And it's not gonna be so funny anymore
by the time you wake up,
Sobered up and sore
But it's a matter of time
Till you get yours and I get mine
It might not be me
But you're gonna answer to somebody
I left my comebacks at the door
I didnt know what i was in for
You're deeper than you've ever been before
You're deeper than you've ever been before

The difference between being single and being married was never more apparent than at 3 a.m. Friday as I groped in the darkness for a blunt object to forever punish my vexatious alarm clock.
As my wife reminded me, when we were single, chances were good we'd still be the life of the party at 3 a.m., surrendering only when the sun came up.
Instead, after turning in early, we were waking up at 3 a.m. in honor of Black Friday for the chance at saving up to 55 percent on men's outerwear and kitchen electrics.
This was to be my first trip out to brave the crowds on the day after Thanksgiving. I had purposely avoided that experience all my life to keep from battling the types of characters so many had warned me about.
The type I imagined who, when they weren't picking up parenting tips from "The Jerry Springer Show" and buying both their cigarettes and boxed wine in bulk, surely would step on their own young to reach the last $30 DVD player.
But as it turned out, the people I met were quite nice, peaceful and had a surprisingly good grasp on the importance of personal hygiene.
These people were pros at this, and I learned that the key to getting the best deals was to get to the stores early, or fight your way to the front.
At Wal-Mart, rather than unlocking the doors at 5 a.m. and turning shopping into a contest, people were able to roam the store and claim squatter's rights next to plastic-wrapped stacks of cheap Chinese toys on pallets in the center aisles. You weren't allowed to put anything in your cart that was a special Black Friday sale until 5 a.m., but you could shop for regular items.
Seeing the crazed look in so many eyes, I considered going over to sporting goods and buying a baseball bat to ensure my family's safety and possibly establish some street cred for next year. As Teddy Roosevelt once said, shop softly and carry a big stick.
But I wasn't the only one.
In every store, numerous husbands and boyfriends could be seen tagging along to serve as cart pushers and bodyguards. I didn't have to ask if that was their pre-sunrise mandated role; we can smell our own.
As the shopping adventure moved across town, I found the longest waits to check out at Kohl's, where still at 10 a.m., more than 100 people were struggling to hold oddly shaped boxes containing food processors, crockpots and four-slice toasters.
Walking past them in line was like viewing a flip-book that started off with people smiling, but as your thumb was halfway done, their grins began turning upside down, and eventually became full-on frowns.
Waiting in a line that long ran you the risk of your child outgrowing the sweater in your hand by the time you checked out.
Eventually the stress began to wear on me, so when I needed a break from the hysteria at places like Target and Best Buy, I headed to the CD aisle, which was as bare as my second plate at the end of Thanksgiving dinner the night before.
I'm still not sure if I'm ready to make this early morning shopping excursion a Gautz family tradition. First I need a nap.
Until then, I will enjoy my new clothes and coffee maker and marvel at the fact that I got them 55 percent off.

Assembly and Annotation
9:15 Chairperson's Remarks
Robert M. Stephens, Ph.D., Director, Bioinformatics Support Group, Advanced Biomedical Computing Center, Information Systems Program, SAIC‐Frederick/NCI Frederick
9:20 Extending The Human Reference Sequence - What Are We Doing with the Reads and Contigs That Do Not Map?
Robert M. Stephens, Ph.D., Director, Bioinformatics Support Group, Advanced Biomedical Computing Center, Information Systems Program, SAIC-Frederick/NCI-Frederick
While new human genomes are becoming available almost daily, most of the released information is limited to short indels and SNVs and is relative to a reference sequence that is incomplete. This presentation will be aimed at launching a discussion of how to best capture the additional information of unmapped reads and contigs so that we extend the "reference" to include this additional material in subsequent analysis.
9:50 Sequencing Chromosomal Rearrangements Reveals Single Gene Disruptions in Otherwise Complex Developmental Disorders
Michael E. Talkowski, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Neurology, Harvard University Program in Medical and Population Genetics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Delineation of balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) offers a powerful route to discovery of genes underlying complex disorders, but remains a relatively untapped reservoir of high penetrance alterations because cytogenetic resolution is low and BCRs are not detected by genome-wide microarrays. Here, we show that sequence based characterization of BCRs using optimizations in paired-end sequencing can be leveraged to identify individual loci contributing to otherwise complex genetic disorders. We have applied these methods uncover novel genes and pathway contributing to human neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as a complex genetic architecture associated with human chromosomal alterations. These studies significantly expand the set of known genes and pathways responsible for NDD and will have significant implications for autism research, mechanistic studies of genomic rearrangements, and future interpretation in clinical diagnostics.
Sponsored by 10:20 The Next, Next Generation of Sequencing - From Semiconductor to Single MoleculeJustin H. Johnson, Director, Bioinformatics, EdgeBioThis generation of sequencer holds the promise to revolutionize and democratize sequencing through unprecedented scale and flexibility. However, this promise largely hinges on choosing the appropriate technology for the application of interest (targeted resequencing, de novo sequencing, metagenomics, etc) and gaining the expertise of a rapidly changing technology. EdgeBio will present case studies highlighting and comparing information, methods, challenges and opportunities in realizing the potential of this latest generation of sequencers, specifically focusing on Ion Torrent, Miseq, and PacBio.

From Populations to Personalized Medicine
2:00 Chairperson's RemarksMichael W. Smith, Ph.D., Vice President, Director, Genetics and Genomics Group, Advanced Technology Program, SAIC-Frederick, National Cancer Institute at Frederick
2:05 Data Processing and Analysis of Genetic Variation Using Next-Generation Sequencing in the 1000 Genomes Project
Mark A. DePristo, Ph.D., Manager, Medical and Population Genetics Analysis, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Recent advances in sequencing technology make it possible to comprehensively catalogue genetic variation in population samples, creating a foundation for understanding human disease, ancestry and evolution. I discuss a unified analytic framework to discover and genotype variation among multiple samples simultaneously that achieves sensitive and specific results across five sequencing technologies and three distinct, canonical experimental designs. We discuss the application of these tools, instantiated in the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), to deep whole-genome, whole-exome capture, and to the multi-sample low-pass (~4x) 1000 Genomes Project datasets.
2:35 Using VAAST to Discover the Genetic Basis of Both Rare "Mendelian" Disorders and More Common "Complex" DisordersGholson Lyon, M.D., Ph.D., Research Scientist, Pediatrics, Center for Applied Genomics, Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaThis presentation will summarize the efforts of Mark Yandell, Martin Reese and Gholson Lyon to use a newly developed disease-variant finding algorithm, called VAAST, to discover the genetic basis of several rare "Mendelian" disorders, along with applying the algorithm to some "complex" disorders. There is an ongoing blurring of the boundary between Mendelian and complex disorders, given that recent evidence indicates that a certain portion of the heritability of certain "complex" disorders like autism might result from multiple rare mutations exhibiting an oligogenic mode of inheritance, with markedly incomplete penetrance of each variant.
Sponsored by3:05 Transcriptome Profiling Solutions for Eukaryotes and ProkaryotesSteve Kain, Ph.D., Director, Product Management, NuGEN TechnologiesAdvances in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) have increased both the throughput and capacity of sequencing platforms, calling for increased efficiency in cDNA preparation and the ability to work with small, degraded, and heterogeneous samples. NuGEN's portfolio of NGS products meets this challenge by enabling simple, rapid and affordable workflows with a broad range of sample types. Data will be presented for RNA-Seq studies in diverse areas of research such as oncology, viral assembly, immunology and metagenomics with the common thread of enabling studies with the most precious RNA samples.3:20 Networking Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
Sponsored by4:15 Methodology and Analysis Workflow for Next‐Gen Population Genomics without a Reference GenomeThomas L. Parchman, Postdoctoral Scientist, University of Wyoming
4:45 Establishment of a Library of Repetitive Element (RE) Arrays Unique to the Human Genome: Implication of RE Arrays' Involvement in Phenotype Determination
Kiho Cho, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, University of California, Davis; Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California
The vast majority of mammalian genomes are occupied by a plethora of repetitive elements (REs). Our studies identified a diverse population of complex RE arrays in the human and mouse genomes. Importantly, the genome-wide RE array profiles of mouse and human were unique for each species, which is consistent with the obvious phenotypic differences between the mouse and human. We postulate that the unique sets of RE arrays in the genomes of different species, or even individuals within the same species, may play a role in the determination of species/individual-specific phenotypes.
5:15 Sequencing Frameworks for Rare Variations
Yaniv Erlich, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research
In this presentation, we will describe frameworks for sequencing and annotating rare variations in genetic diseases. In the first part, we will present DNA Sudoku, a highly efficient strategy to find rare variations in large cohorts. In the second part, we will present two exome sequencing studies for identifying rare neurological disorders in Ashkenazi Jews and Palestinians.

South Carolina was at home Thursday to host Missouri.
It was a tough test for the Gamecocks. They tied the game at 32 in the first half, but there was too much of Alex Oriaki, the big man with the jam, for the Gamecocks to overcome.
Missouri led 45-38 at the break, but the Tigers went on a big run to open the second half, with the final score Missouri 90 to USC 68.

Iraq, Vietnam, and the Limits of American Powerby Brigham Robert K.
The book that answers the question on everybody's mind?with wisdom and authority that cannot be ignored
Iraq, Vietnam, and the Limits of American Powerby Brigham Robert K.
Vietnam and Iraq are now linked forever. But a straight comparison between the two wars does injustice to solid history. In this revised and updated edition ofIs Iraq Another Vietnam'historian Robert K. Brigham shows how the similarities between Iraq and Vietnam illuminate similar patterns of U. S. foreign policy behavior. A Vietnam expert, Brigham argues that the United States has turned to a foreign policy of expansion in times if external threat- or heightened threat perceptions- leading to limited Congressional debate and oversight. The results have been devastating. The massive financial hangover will be only one of the Iraq War's lasting legacies. The mechanisms are in place for change, but so far the U. S. has done little to alter the course of its foreign relations. It is crucial that we apply the lessons of Vietnam wisely and selectively- in this war and the future.

Studying dramatic representations of gender and childhood poses a particular scholarly challenge given the complicated relationship between boys and female characters on the professional stage. Whereas critics tended to focus on the body of the boy actress in the 1990s, the past decade has seen a rising interest in representations of children as children, from Shakespeare's little princes to the children who performed in the London mayor's pageants to children who featured in masques and other entertainments. We would like to draw from these critical accounts and find ways to ask questions about representations of gender and childhood that advance beyond assertions that boys functioned as metonyms for women. What other kinds of social and dramatic functions did children serve? How does stage representation elucidate and complicate our understanding of how children were gendered in early modern England? What did it mean to be a boy or a girl, and what other gendered categories might children occupy? When do children reinforce early modern notions of sexual and gender differences, and when do they collapse them? How do constructions of class, race, sexuality, and gender complicate representations of childhood, and how does childhood, in turn, complicate those constructions?
Given that female children were excluded from performing in the professional playing companies, it can be difficult to discuss representations of childhood on the public stage without talking exclusively about boyhood. We are therefore interested in essays that confront the question of whether there are ways to locate constructions of girlhood within early modern drama, or whether all representations of childhood on the stage are ultimately reducible to representations of boyhood. Were children gendered differently in drama written for the adult professional stage versus those of the boys' companies? Did children function in different ways depending on venue or genre, for example? And to what extent are we articulating our own contemporary concerns when we seek to stabilize the category of the child or to understand boyhood and girlhood as separate concepts?

LaBarbera: Pro-Gay Rights Christians Inspired By Satan, Leading To 'Downfall Of American Society'
Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality appeared on Crosstalk yesterday for a show on the "Same Sex Marriage Tsunami," where he told host Vic Eliason that Christians who affirm gay people are pushing an "insidious lie" that is "straight from Satan's talking points."
"It is Isaiah 5:20 in action, 'Evil is called good and good evil,'" LaBarbera said. "Homosexuality, rather than being the sinful thing it is, is now parlayed that opposition to homosexuality is the sin and people are made gay by God."
Meanwhile, Eliason, the head of Voice of Christian Youth America, said he is deeply concerned that the phrase "OMG" is "said as a curse" to God and corrupting young people.
LaBarbera agreed with Eliason's claim that homosexuality a "vulgar, terrible sin that by its very behavior marks it as among the worst," and added that pastors who affirm gay people will be "judged more severely than others because they are in positions of spiritual authority, supposedly."
He said that the National Cathedral, an Episcopal church which supports gay rights, has now become a symbol of "the downfall of American society and American civilization."
"We have become a morally corrupt nation," he lamented. "Until we get right with God we will continue to go downhill."
Eliason went on to lambast public schools for "promoting diversity" and to attack us here at Right Wing Watch for trying to "intimidate" them by quoting them verbatim.

There are certain things audiences expect from a Fourth of July band concert. Yes, the W.D. Packard Concert Band will play plenty of patriotic music tonight at the south lawn band shell of Packard Music Hall. And performing Peter Tchaikovsky's ''1812 Overture'' near the end of the evening is a tradition the band has no intention of changing.
But that doesn't mean the band will be doing the same old thing to celebrate Independence Day.
Tonight's program will be filled with new songs and new arrangements of old favorites, according to Thomas Groth, executive director of the band.

Vocalist Helen Welch will perform several songs with the W.D. Packard Concert Band at tonight's show.
Special to the
Tribune Chronicle
''Everything we do, when I pick the program or when (conductor) Steve (Gage) does, we revert back to W.D. Packard's wish to provide entertainment and edification for the people of Warren,'' Groth said. ''We want it to be both entertaining and audience friendly and maybe in some way educating people to new tunes and new arrangements that come out.
''We try to honor his wishes, what he would want if he were alive today. That really is our guiding principle.''
Robert W. Smith's ''American Flourish'' is something the band never has played before, Groth said. New arrangements featuring the music of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong will be performed, and vocalist Helen Welch will be singing a new arrangement of the Irving Berlin standard ''God Bless America.''
Fact Box
In concert
WHAT: W.D. Packard Concert Band with Stephen L. Gage, conductor, and vocalist Helen Welch, followed by fireworks
WHEN: 8 p.m. today
WHERE: Packard Music Hall south lawn, 1703 Mahoning Ave. N.W., Warren
COST: Free. Funding is provided by the W.D. Packard trust.
Groth said he wanted a program that featured patriotic and military songs that people expect on the Fourth of July as well as quintessentially American works, like those Ellington and Armstrong medley or Bobby Troup's ''Route 66,'' which celebrates the cross-country highway.
''Route 66'' will showcase tenor saxophone player Daniel Carioti, who serves as director of the Big Band Sound of Packard and the Packard Dixieland Band in addition to playing in the full concert band. He teaches instrumental music in Warren City Schools and previously was director of bands at Brookfield High School.
In addition to ''God Bless America,'' Welch will sing ''On a Wonderful Day Like Today,'' ''My Foolish Heart,'' ''If My Friends Could See Me Now,'' ''Zing Went the Strings of My Heart'' and The Beatles' ''Can't Buy Me Love.''
Other selections on the program conducted by Gage will include John O'Neill's ''Fourth of July Polka,'' Edwin Frank Goldman's ''On Parade'' march, an Armed Forces salute, Al Jacobs' and Don Raye's ''This Is My Country'' and a finale with John Philip Sousa's ''The Stars and Stripes Forever.''
Following the music will be a fireworks display created by Zambelli Fireworks. Groth said the fireworks show will run about 25 minutes long.
''They've been very good with us the last few years giving us the same type of show for the same amount of money,'' Groth said. ''They've been very good to us in the band and the people of Warren.''

While I forge my way to the Canadian wilderness for vacation this summer, I will be unable to see The Guardians of the Galaxy film, Marvel's latest comic book blockbuster. With me, however, is another space epic: Twelve Gems by Lane Milburn.
When the cover art was first revealed, I imagined it had been lifted from the backdrop of pinball machine located in a dingy cantina somewhere in the distant cosmos. A three-headed, horned monstrosity floating above space lava and encircled in glowing lights? Yes, I found my summer read. A copy recently arrived in the mail, and I diligently put it away so that I could save it for my trip. Only now my flight is delayed, I'm stuck in Denver and missing a day of vacation, and Twelve Gems is my only hope—and it's delivering.
Part Heavy Metal, part Infinity Gauntlet, part progressive metal band's vinyl LP artwork, Twelve Gems offers a space opera send-up that reads like a serious good time. Writer and artist Milburn begins with an eccentric scientist, Dr. Z, who enlists three heroes (Furz, the heavy; Venus, the beautiful warrior; and Dogstar, the talking animal) to find the legendary twelve gems—what they do once collected, no one knows. All that matters is that Dr. Z wants them and he' s willing to share in the reward, whatever it may be.
Across the stars, the three heroes (who aren't so heroic) encounter robots, monstrous aliens, and more monstrous aliens, all of whom want the twelve gems for themselves. Dogstar develops a crush as Venus' outfits only get tighter, and Furz keeps upgrading his murder weapons. It's absurd how much fun this is, with double-page chapter breaks that would not be out of place on the side of a black van driven by two dudes wearing bandanas. Milburn's throwback style, the heavy-lined and dense pages are only matched in goofiness by his dialogue: "You who wander this kaleidoscopic cosmos, who possess the mirror-trick of consciousness…speak!" And the crew can't seem to catch a break even when they stop at a local space-bar--wherever they go they encounter thieves and assailants. "What?! We don't get a moment to relax," Venus bemoans as she readies her battle pose. "This galaxy sucks!" Furz agrees as they both hop into the melee.
This is exactly what summer blockbusters should be, only Milburn's is a singular vision. He exploits clichés by embracing them, and he busily captures hyperspace hilarity, while the black and white pages never feel overwhelmed by the dark backdrops or Milburn's detailed designs. This compact paperback comes with Fantagraphics' usual high quality paper stock and attention to detail, and I'm so glad it's here with me—my vacation may have stalled but Twelve Gems gave it a warp core boost regardless.

book by its cover, but you can judge Vaio's latest E series by the lids alright. Actually don't do that, because underneath the eye-popping colours that'd put Boy George to shame, there is some tech-joy to be had.
Some of the models rock a Full-HD display and powerful graphics; however the less-privileged models leave much to be desired. But hey, the colours sure look pretty! They'll go fabulously with that pop-art print you just ordered.

I had the opportunity to do some research in the Diocesan Archives of Tarnów when I was in Poland.
The process is simple... you must sign in the "guest book" and then if you have not been to the archives before, you will need to purchase a researchers id card which is good for that calendar year. Of course you must present some identification which for the foreigner would be your passport.
If I recall correctly it cost about 15 złoty which is roughly about $5 give or take depending on the exchange rate. Research time costs 6 złoty per hour.

WARREN, MI -- A police call by a Warren resident claiming to have seen an aardvark outside their home led authorities to a neighbor's residence where police seized his menagerie of exotic pets, including aardvarks, two ring-tailed lemurs, three fennec foxes, a coatimundi, rabbits, pigeons and roosters, WDIV, Channel 4 News reports.
"Man that's something you see on 'Animal Planet,'" neighbor Steve Fleming told WDIV, referring to the aardvark. "I can't stand mice, much less an aardvark. I'd freak."
