|-> Chapter 2 -> Forests -> West Asia
Degradation and overexploitation
The region's forests and woodlands have suffered from a long history of degradation and overexploitation. Extensive land clearing for human settlements and agriculture in mountainous areas along the coasts of the Mediterranean in Lebanon and Syria has been carried out throughout history (Thirgood 1981). Traditional sheep and goat herding is still practised in Juniperus excelsa forest ecosystems in the Anti- Lebanon mountains and on the Syrian steppes where relics of Pistacia atlantica trees still remain (Nahal 1995, Abido 2000a).
Over the past 30 years, natural forest areas have been fragmented and isolated and turned into a mosaic with agricultural fields in Syria, and with urban dwellings in Lebanon and Syria (World Bank and UNDP 1998, GORS 1991, Government of Lebanon 1995). It is difficult to provide a precise estimate of the level of forest degradation in the region over the past 30 years due to the inaccuracies of earlier estimates and the problems associated with comparing data from different countries due to different calculation methods employed. However, the data that are available indicate a 44 per cent reduction in the region's forest cover from 1972 to 2000.
In Lebanon up to 60 per cent of forests were lost between 1972 and 1994 (Government of Lebanon 1995) while the small area of forest in the Occupied Palestinian Territories decreased by 50 per cent during the 1980s and 1990s (Palestinian Authority 1999, FAOSTAT 1998). However, in the past ten years the total forest area in West Asia has remained almost stable (see table below). Significant changes have occurred only in Yemen, where forest area has decreased by 17 per cent, and in the United Arab Emirates, where plantation forests increased the total area by 32 per cent (FAO 2001a).
Several countries have a high proportion of planted forests (100 per cent in Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, 97.8 per cent in the United Arab Emirates and approximately 50 per cent in both Jordan and Syria) (FAO 2001b). Afforestation programmes increased the forested area in Jordan by 20 per cent during the 1980s and 1990s (FAOSTAT 1998).
Population growth, urbanization, economic developments (including tourism) and conflict (for example in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria) are among the external factors that significantly affect forests. Fire, overgrazing and overcutting of wood products have contributed locally to forest degradation (FAO 1997). Poverty and inappropriate forest policies are overriding factors contributing to forest and woodland deterioration in the Mashriq countries and Yemen. Until recently, poor demarcation of public and private lands in and around some forests and protected areas has led to ownership disputes and conflicts, providing the opportunity for some people to increase their private land holdings at the expense of public forest.
Rural communities, especially in mountainous areas, depend heavily on forest resources for their supply of timber, fuelwood, charcoal and non-wood forest products, putting enormous pressure on the limited resources available. It is estimated that 57 per cent of families in Yemen depend on forest resources to satisfy their domestic needs for fuel. The average consumption of 0.5 m3 per person a year far exceeds average annual growth in the country's forests (Government of Yemen 2000). Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Syria also use a significant proportion of their wood production for domestic fuel (FAO 2001a). Excessive cutting and wood collection have rendered fragile forest ecosystems prone to soil erosion and desertification (World Bank and UNDP 1998, Government of Lebanon 1995, Government of Yemen 2000). However, rapid urbanization and industrialization in West Asia are resulting in seasonal and permanent rural migration into urban areas (FAO 1997) and this trend is expected to reduce pressure on rural forests in terms of fuelwood collection and grazing.
The average area destroyed each year by forest fires has doubled in parts of the Mediterranean basin since the 1970s (Alexandrian, Esnault and Calabri 1999) and increased by almost 40 per cent in Jordan in the 1980s and 1990s compared to the 1970s (Government of Jordan 1997). In Lebanon, around 550 ha of forest area were lost each year between 1961 and 1997 due to a variety of causes including fire, cutting and urban encroachment. In Syria, as much as 8 000 ha of forests were converted to other land uses by burning between 1985 and 1993, and an additional 2 440 ha of forests were converted to farmland during the same period. Since the 1970s, more than 20 000 ha of coastal forests were burnt in northwestern Syria, resulting in soil erosion of up to 20 tonnes/ha/year on steep slopes (World Bank and UNDP 1998).

Mother's poor choices played a part in death
Lynn DeJac Peters did not murder her daughter, but she was definitely indirectly responsible. If she had not continually exposed her daughter to the low-life men she brought home, including the stepfather who was imprisoned for sexually abusing her, perhaps Crystallyn would still be alive today.
I would hope that instead of reaping the benefits of the multimillion dollars she was awarded at her daughter's expense, she would start a memorial in her daughter's name to help other children who are victims of abuse.

Marketing strategies for most companies are in flux now. For years there wasn't much of a
change in how they did their job. The most innovative option they might consider is new creative.
Adding social media has helped rewrite the rules they used. But when you are adding social media it's important not to forget the value email can add. Businesses rely heavily on email as its the main way to communicate. This means that email shouldn't be excluded when you are looking for how you want to share your information.
One of the best ways to use email is when your customers opt-in for your information. Growing your own email list means you are talking to people that are interested in your message. They are more likely to read your emails and make sure it doesn't fall victim to the spam filter.
One way to make this easier is to find a partner to help you manage your email sign up, the lists and tools to make each email a strong representative of your brand so your customers will continue to read. Using iContact is one source that can show you how to build your message, put codes into messages for tracking, create email templates and then deliver your message.
These email systems can also help build your social media network. They contain options to follow your social sites so you can continue to engage with them over social channels. It also lets them share your email information on to their social sites. This gives you exposure to their friends and colleagues to virally spread your information and give you a greater reach.
Email is powerful and it's a cost effective way to keep your client based informed about you and the industry you represent. If you want to learn more about iContact and to keep track of their specials, advice and business tips to help you with your marketing efforts you can sign up for their email newsletter.

text: LEWISTOWN - For new moms, the summer can be a tricky time to keep babies safe and comfortable. If a baby is overdressed, he could develop a heat rash. Underdressing or exposing his body to the elements can cause a damaging sunburn or heatstroke. Overheating has also been linked to sudden infant death syndrome. When babies are hot, they sleep more soundly, making it difficult to arouse them.

"Hello. Whoa. Wow, my mind is blown," the flesh-eating bacteria victim said May 27, the first time she has been able to speak since contracting her deadly infection.
Her dad Andy Copeland, a financial advisor from Snellville, Ga., recently told PEOPLE about having to break the news she had lost several limbs – and how his brave daughter responded.
On May 14, two weeks after Aimee, 24, cut her leg in a fall from a zip line into the Little Tallapoosa River in Carrollton, Ga., and had it amputated due to the bacterial infection, her dad sat by her bed, held her hands, and told her what had happened.
"She was complaining about pain in her left leg that she didn't have," says Copeland, 52. "I said, the reason your leg hurts is because it's been removed. And she stopped."
But as he braced himself for tears, Copeland says he was shocked by her reaction.
"She kind of raised her eyebrows and mouthed, 'Wow,' " he says. "She didn't cry or blink an eye."
A Freak InjuryAimee's ordeal began on May 1, when she received 22 surgical staples to close a deep gash in her leg.
But unbeknownst to the pretty blonde University of West Georgia grad student, she had contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a rare and aggressive flesh-eating bacterial infection.
A few days after Aimee was sent home from the hospital, a friend watching her found her unconscious at her apartment.
Moments after arriving at the hospital, the Copelands – Andy, mom Donna, 52, a middle school clerk, and Aimee's sister Paige, 25 – received horrific news.
"The doctor said, 'Sir, when we brought Aimee in here, we were trying to save her leg. Now we're trying to save her life,'" recalls Copeland. "We fell apart at that hospital. We just held each other and cried, and I begged God for her life."
A Warrior's SpiritTen days after surgeons at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga., amputated Aimee's left leg at the hip, they decided her badly infected hands and foot would also have to go.
"Her hands were purple and her fingers were black," says Copeland. "So I took her hands and held them up and said, 'Do these look normal to you?' And she shook her head no. Then I said, 'The fact is, these are going to make it harder for your body to heal, because your body is trying to keep these hands alive.
"She nodded, and sat there and thought about it. Then she held up her hands and looked at them, then looked at us, and said: 'Let's do this.' "
"It left me in tears," says her dad, "and blew me away."
Now the passionate hiker who dreams of working as a staff psychologist for a national or state park is already thinking about getting prostheses.
"I've talked with many people who've been through her disease. One man told me he hiked the Grand Canyon, even though he had both legs removed and an arm, and I shared that with Aimee," says Copeland, who's been keeping a blog about her condition. "She's shown strength I never knew she had."

Last season, in the first game of this home-and-home series, Lowell beat visiting Rockford 28-7. This year the game is Thursday at Rockford's Ted Carlson Memorial Stadium.
"That (last year's game) was so long ago," Rockford coach Ralph Munger said. "We didn't play well, they played better than we did, they won and we lost. We are more focused and into this year, more than ever. We need to try and make improvement all across the board every week and then try to get to six wins (to qualify for the playoffs)."
Lowell (0-0) at Rockford (0-0)
Kickoff: 7 p.m. Thursday, at Ted Carlson Memorial Stadium
The Lowdown: These two teams renewed a rivalry last year. Between 1950 and 1973, Rockford held a slim 13-10-1 advantage over the Red Arrows. But Lowell showed last year that this isn't you grandfather's Red Arrows, as they dominated in all three phases of the game to whip Rockford 28-7. "We came out of that game with all our fingers and toes, and the kids realized they can go with a team of that stature," Lowell coach Noel Dean said. "We played pretty good specials teams, defense and offense last year and met our goals in all three phases of the game."
Key matchup: Lowell needs to find a replacement for two-time all state quarterback Gabe Dean, who left after compiling over 13,000 yards and scoring over 100 touchdowns in his three years under center. Senior Titan Anderson looks to be that candidate, and will be going against a Rockford defense that returns six players, including linebacker Brent Showers.
Prediction: Lowell 28, Rockford 14
Forest Hills Central (0-0) at Zeeland West (0-0)
Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday, at Zeeland Stadium
The Lowdown: Only two teams held Zeeland West's high-powered wing-t offense under 30 points last year - sister-school rival Zeeland East, and Forest Hills Central. The Dux crushed their competition all year, including a 45-7 whipping of Marine City in the Division 4 state championship game. But the Rangers, who played solid defense all season long, only lost to Zeeland West 26-14.
Key Matchup: Zeeland West lost some key contributors on offense, but in John Shillito's wing-t scheme, great running backs are made year after year. This season Braden Werley and Jon Pung look to rack up the yards, but Forest Hills Central all state linebacker Collin Schlosser may have something to say about that in week one.
Prediction: Zeeland West 28, Forest Hills Central 14
Forest Hills Northern (0-0) at Comstock Park (0-0)
Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday, at Comstock Park Stadium
The Lowdown: These two teams were rivals in the OK Blue Conference the past four years, but realignment has turned this matchup into a week-one, non-conference affair. Forest Hills Northern, which now plays in the OK Bronze, never beat the Comstock Park in their four meetings in the OK Blue, including last year's 36-20 victory over the Huskies in week nine.
Key Matchup: Senior quarterback Jake Brown led a talented Panthers team to a 10-3 record and Division 4 semifinal appearance a year ago. He has one of his top targets back in wide receiver Luke Sullivan, so look for the Comstock Park offense to go to the air against the Forest Hills Northern defense.
Prediction: Comstock Park 30, Forest Hills Northern 21
South Christian (0-0) at Grand Rapids Christian (0-0)
Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday, at Eagles Stadium
The Lowdown: The Grand Rapids Christian Eagles were one of the best teams in the state last year, winning the rugged OK White Conference and posting a 10-1 record. But one of Christian's most difficult games came in week one, when it beat South Christian 31-21. These two teams have played each other every year in week one since 1999, with many of the games coming down to the wire – it's a great Christian school rivalry.
Key Matchup: Can the South Christian defense slow down Grand Rapids Christian junior wide receiver Drake Harris, who has already verbally committed to play football and basketball and Michigan State. Can the South Christian offense and running back Chad Sterk move the ball on the Eagles' defense?
Prediction: Grand Rapids Christian 28, South Christian 14

Passing along some city high school football tidbits . . .
FEW GUYS play three sports anymore. Hey, Ryan Boornazian does that each weekend!
Last Friday night, the 5-8, 160-pound senior halfback/fullback, depending, rushed 13 times for 63 yards and a touchdown as Carroll subdued Neumann-Goretti, 34-13. Saturday brought an informal lacrosse workout and Sunday night he practiced for several hours with the Patriots' hockey team, which opens its season in 2 weeks.
"I know it's a lot, but I love all three sports," Boornazian said. "Right after the [football] game, I kind of broke down because my left shoulder has really been bothering me. I knew I had to be out there, though. I have great teammates. Couldn't let them down."

ZHENGZHOU, China (AP) - After 19 years in prison, China has freed an elderly Tibetan teacher - a release one leading activist said was an attempt to please the United States.
Tanak Jigme Sangpo, 76, was set free Sunday from Drapchi Prison in Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, said John Kamm, president of the San Francisco-based Duihua Foundation.
Chinese officials said he was released on medical parole, Kamm said.
China's longest-serving political prisoner, Jigme Sangpo was arrested in September 1983 and sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of "counterrevolutionary incitement and propaganda" for campaigning against Chinese rule in Tibet, according to Kamm.

Critic Reviews

- By date
It's true that the language in the film can be harsh -- but it's also very obvious that kids are hearing this kind of language in schools every day, much of it directed at them.
Bully contains some moments of real alarm and, in the school bus, one nightmarish motif.
Graceful cinematography captures the loneliness and isolation of these kids with understatement, even when the director succumbs to twinkling piano that pulls a tad too hard on the heartstrings.
Bully is a sincere documentary but not a great one. We feel sympathy for the victims, and their parents or friends, but the film helplessly seems to treat bullying as a problem without a solution.
The best Hirsch's film can do, in the end, is remind us that bullying means more than we admit, and its effects aren't always immediately clear, even to loved ones.
As long as the MPAA is issuing its cavalier decrees, though, they're the ones acting like bullies.
If you feel like you've already read quite a bit about the documentary Bully, you have. But that still won't prepare you for the experience of seeing it.
Bully is much better when it sticks to simple storytelling. And storytelling, not grandstanding, is the thing that just might grab the attention of, say, school administrators, people who can have some effect on how bullies are dealt with.
This is nothing if not an important film. It is important for the bullied to see, if for no other reason than to realize they aren't alone, and it is important for the bullies to see as well as for the parents of both groups so everyone can understand just how devastating the problem is.
Incredibly enough, it seems many people still believe that bullying is just a matter of "kids being kids." Until that attitude changes, this film should be considered required viewing for every parent, teacher and teenager in America.
Bully is repetitive and not especially artful, but children who allow themselves to see the world through the eyes of the film's victims will never be the same.
Lee Hirsch is certainly one who is making a difference. I endorse him and his brave, powerful movie and urge you to see it for yourself. You might leave Bully with rage, but you will not leave Bully with indifference.
It's powerful stuff, and probably a more effective approach than a series of talking heads decrying bullying, which is estimated to affect 18 million American children.
All I can add to the discussion is the fervent hope that any parents, teachers, administrators or students who see it will immediately start clamoring for it to be shown at their next PTA meeting.
Some movies uses make-believe to make you squirm or cry or rise to righteous anger. Bully does all of that with reality.
The purpose of Bully is to educate and promote discussion. If the problem is not solved, there will be more Columbines and additional stories like Tyler and Ty's.
The best social documents on film do more than show you what's wrong in the world – they make it personal. Bully does that with a passion.
An earnest and moving documentary made for and about tormented preteens and teenagers.
Leaves us moved by poignant scenes of victims' shattered lives, but, for reasons unclear, keeps the bullies themselves largely out of our reach.
Bully is a good start to a necessary conversation, but its loving voice is likely to be drowned out by haters who hide their own wounded hearts behind Internet pseudonyms and broadcast microphones.
Bully is no more incisive than a Dateline NBC segment on the subject, although with a PG-13 rating it now can be a classroom tool for discussion.
There are many appalling moments witnessed and described in Lee Hirsch's documentary Bully: children beaten and humiliated, ostracized by their peers and misunderstood by their parents, left to face an apparently heartless world without a soul to turn to.
Indeed, like all bureaucracies, the educational version is a bit of a bully itself. In Sioux City at least, the official response to bullying is to recognize its existence but to deny it's an "overwhelming issue," and retreat behind the comforting bromide that "kids will be kids."
An intimate reflection on the bullying epidemic that makes its points quietly and succinctly.
Bully forces you to confront not the cruelty of specific children - who have their own problems, and their good sides as well - but rather the extent to which that cruelty is embedded in our schools and therefore in our society as a whole.
Lee Hirsch and Cynthia Lowen, the filmmakers who made the moving documentary Bully, don't try to answer any questions. They avoid charts and graphs, talking heads and sociology. Their approach is more direct and, perhaps, more effective.
A documentary as vivid as any horror film, as heartbreaking as any Oscar-worthy drama.
This antibullying advocacy group could not be more well-intentioned or needed, but suddenly, the sneaking suspicion that you've merely been watching an extended PSA for the grassroots organization starts to take hold.
Bully forces audiences to face actions that are unthinkable, inexcusable and excruciatingly sad. It offers no solutions, only the testimony of brave youths.
Lee Hirsch's "The Bully Project" serves as a call to action against abuse of students by their peers as it follows, over the course of a year, five sobering case histories of unrelenting schoolyard persecution.
It has a clear and calm approach to storytelling and some interest in the quality of its handheld images.
The film's power is undercut by its narrow geographic focus, which seems to associate bullying with conservative or working-class areas in red states. The filmmakers could easily have found similar cases involving the children of urban sophisticates.
This intimate, straightforward, often wrenching portrait of five families dealing with bullying and its aftermath doesn't hold many surprises at a time when such campaigns as "It Gets Better" and special programming on kids' cable networks are bringing the issue to the fore.

Mar 30, 2012Hard hitting, thought provoking, heart-rending and timely, "Bully" is a documentary that approaches an all too familiarly overlooked subjectHard hitting, thought provoking, heart-rending and timely, "Bully" is a documentary that approaches an all too familiarly overlooked subject in a way that hasn't yet been explored; its graceful, and sure to pull on the heartstrings. However, unlike its unimpeachable intent and central message, "Bully," the film, undermines the totality of the subject by avoiding to satisfy it on an intellectual level; not a single interview with the titular contributors (bullies) or even a mere statistic solidifying the real-life gravity of the issue. For everytime a tear is shed, another opportunity is flubbed away from making it truly great and equally, memorable. As it is, "Bully," is a "cause for change" docupic that does offer moments of arising deep-seated pathos and stirring those around those emotions, but the erratic editing and the degree of simplicity derived from the omission of key tangibles, keeps back what could have been a game-changing medium for ages to come. Still among the best documentaries of 2012.… Full Review »

Jun 9, 2013You know, I don't need this to tell me what I think everybody already knows: Bullying is bad. This is all just a collaboration of tear jerkingYou know, I don't need this to tell me what I think everybody already knows: Bullying is bad. This is all just a collaboration of tear jerking families; please note that I do feel bad for the families who's children are being put in these horrible situations and in no way am I ignoring the seriousness of the topic, but that's all this is. It just shows these families who's kids are being bullied, and that's it. The major problem with this is that it doesn't offer any solution, and personally I think because there is no solution. Bullying is evil; to an extent, and we all know that with good there's always going to be bad. It's how the world works and we may wish for a world of purity and innocence, but then it wouldn't be called living. Unfortunately though some people have bigger misfortunes than others, we feel sympathy for them for their loss, but it seems almost wrong to release their stories as a theatrical film. That's another thing that bothered me, if the director wanted to spread the word of this, why didn't he/she just put it on a website or something? The film wasn't a great success at the box office, so is it because people don't care or because they don't want to see a cruel and just downright depressing feature. I personally think that one could get the message across better if they made it not as depressing, but at least offered some positive atmosphere as well.… Full Review »

Brown to escape FA punishment over Cole tackle
Published 25/09/2006
Fulham midfielder Michael Brown is to escape punishment for his over-the-ball tackle on Chelsea's Ashley Cole over the weekend.
Brown fouled Cole in the closing minutes of the west London derby, but wasn't even booked by the referee.
The FA, however, is powerless to intervene because the referee saw the incident and took the action he deemed necessary.
The situation has triggered memories of a similar tackle by Cole on Ryan Giggs in the opening game of the season.

Moving On: Final Look At Rays And Red Sox Benches Clearing Incident
Final Look At Bench Clearing Incident Between Red Sox And Rays
[VIDEO]?Tempers Flare As Rays Defeat Red Sox 8-5
Joe Maddon and Sean Rodriguez discuss the incident that led to the benches clearing and subsequent ejections of Jonny Gomes, Yunel Escobar, and Rodriguez.
[Audio & Video]?Joe Maddon Asks That The Red Sox Roll Back The Tape
Joe Maddon made it clear that he had no objection to any team adding runs at any point in a game:
?While we?re on the subject, I want to take this moment please regarding this crazy stuff about lead and teams not trying to score runs. I didn?t take any exception when they stole on us last year in the 8th inning of the Division Series with an 8-2 lead. Ellsbury on, they steal. I didn?t take any ? because our goal is to not permit them scoring runs. Their goal is to score runs. The whole game. That?s always been the goal within the game of baseball. Apparently some guys on their bench do not like that. I really wish they would roll back the tape and look at that more specifically.?
[Audio]?Red Sox David Ross Says Whole Team Offended By Escobar?s Stolen Base
Boston Red Sox catcher?David Ross?was asked if he was bothered by?Yunel Escobar?stealing 3rd base with the Rays up by a score of 8-3.
His answer was somewhat odd as he said the ?whole team? took exception to Escobar stealing third with two-out and a five run lead in the ninth ? except it was the seventh inning ? but the point was the Rays violated some unwritten rule of baseball.
[Audio & Video]?Jonny Gomes Delivers Far Fetched Narrative Of Benches Clearing Incident
Gomes says it wasn?t the stealing of the base that bothered him, ?I wouldn?t have done it but I don?t have a problem with a hitter taking a bag. He can take the bag all he wants, you know, but yell at my dugout, take your helmet off and basically challenge our whole dugout, I?ll have a problem with that.?
Unfortunately for Gomes for his version of the story to hold up we can?t have video. If the video isn?t evidence enough for you than you have to assume that after getting to third base and checking in with veteran third base coach?Tom Foley?that Escobar turns around to instigate something with the Red Sox dugout.
The video suggests that Escobar was calm and relaxed ? focused on playing the game ? but was badgered by somebody in the Red Sox dugout which caused the reaction.
?[TWEET W/BONUS VIDEO]?Boston Globe Columnist Dan Shaughnessy Calls Red Sox ?Losers?
Red Sox objection to Rays taking an extra base in the 7th inning of an 8-3 game is more embarrassing than losing 10 straight. #Losers

Taylor – Abel Wedding: Friendswood, Texas
February 3, 2014
Talk about a beautiful, midsummer night wedding! When we first met the Taylors in the beginning of 2013, we knew this was going to be a wedding for the books. Carly & Carter were a happily engaged couple living in Nashville going to school while the Taylor family was gearing up for a
June wedding in non-other than their beautiful home's front pasture. Situated in Friendswood on a lovely size main lot, the Taylor residence created a storybook venue that was not only incredibly special for Carly and the family, but also

Never seen a video on the AJ before, but I love it. And I agree with the commentary - we don't really know what to expect out of this team right now other than to not expect much.
Lack of pressure can be a great thing. Gillispie thrived in such conditions before. Here's hoping he can do the same thing at Tech. I doubt it. But I'll try to put my cynical nature aside on this eve of the season opener and say it is great to be undefeated!

The source path is then the relative path from this root to the source file. This way, the Causeway viewer can be configured with a single source folder from which to lookup any source file. For example, the sample events shown at: http://waterken.sourceforge.net/debug/ use a source path of "source" : "example/src/org/waterken/bang/Drum.java" which assumes a root folder under which each project is stored.

The event loop URIs in the Waterken server take the form: "loop" : "http://localhost:8080/-/t7/", where everything after the "-/" segment may be a programmer chosen name. I figured the Causeway viewer could use the last segment in the URI as the short name and the full URI as the globally unique name. --Tyler

text: Sneaker retailers Hanon have paired up with adidas on a rendition of the classic CNTR, shown here earlier – making an appearance for the first time since its inception in 1984. Through a distinctive choice in colorway, texture and design which nods firmly at Hanon's heritage in Aberdeen, Scotland, a conceptual and equally functional sneaker is christened. Here, the CNTR take us on a journey through "The Granite City," a place that's often bleak, historic but full of character, just like the distinguished silhouette featured. The Hanon x adidas Consortium CNTR launches tomorrow via the Hanon online store. Enjoy the clip and let us know your thoughts below.

Add context to the entries before uncommenting them. %%%%[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/downwithlove_463.jpg]]A RomanticComedy farce that lampoons romantic comedies from the 1950s and early '60s, particularly the Rock Hudson and Doris Day films. Aspiring author Barbara Novak ([[Creator/ReneeZellweger Renée Zellweger]]) arrives in New York to publish her book, ''[[TitleDrop Down With Love]]'', which encourages female empowerment through chocolate and casual sex. It becomes an international best seller, even edging out a biography of John F. Kennedy, and millions of women everywhere buy it and start learning from its precepts. This does not sit well with the majority of men in the world, least of all Catcher Block (Creator/EwanMcGregor), a reporter for Know Magazine, and TheCasanova rivalling Film/JamesBond in both suaveness and libido. After Novak calls him out for his behavior on national television, he hatches a scheme to get her to fall in love with him, thereby violating her own golden rule. She's already expressed her displeasure with him, so in order to get into her pants, he fabricates the persona of a country-boy astronaut who has just touched back down to earth, and as such has no idea of her book or her identity.There is also a BetaCouple of Barbara's chain-smoking best friend and publisher Vikki Hiller, and Catcher's neurotic boss Peter [=MacMannus=], who get drawn into the hijinks of Catcher and Barbara. (For the 2010 TaiwaneseSeries of the same name, see ''Series/DownWithLove''.)----!!This film shows examples of:%%* AffectionateParody / {{Pastiche}} / {{Homage}}* AllMenArePerverts: The senior editors of Banner House lean forward eagerly as Barbara begins elaborating on the self-pleasuring technique outlined in her book...then sit back in disappointment when the chapter's title turns out to be "Up With Chocolate."* AnswerCut: At the end of Catcher's first scene in the film with Peter, Catcher asks "What is it about the work place that women just can't seem to handle?" Cut to an angry Barbara in the cab with Vikki: "Men!"* {{Beatnik}}: Catcher comes back to his real apartment to find that Peter and Vicki are throwing a party filled with archetypical beret wearing beatniks. Then Barbara drops by and catches "Zip" ''in flagrante delicto'' with a beatnik chick.* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Nancy becomes Barbara. And of course, Catcher pretending to be in love with Barbara leads to him falling in love with her for real.]] * BetaCouple: Vikki and Peter. * BigApplesauce: Along with some TelevisionGeography shots of a stylized New York City. * BigDamnKiss: A good number of them between Catcher and Barbara. The one at the end of the dinner scene between the two in Peter's apartment. [[spoiler:A few after Barbara's Infodump. And finally a few in the elevator at the end.]]** Peter gives Vikki one after the InspirationalInsult moment mentioned below. * CampGay: Maurice Johns, art director of Banner House, is portrayed this way in both of his scenes.* TheCasanova: Catcher Block, so much.* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The key Catcher leaves out for his girlfriends. And the NASA security clearance badge.]]* CreativeClosingCredits: The ending credits include an extra scene with Renee & Ewan singing a duet and one with David Hyde Pierce and Creator/SarahPaulson.* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Via the magic of SplitScreen, Barbara and "Zip"'s conversation looks like other activities, complete with [[SmokingHotSex cool-down cigarette]].** There's also Catcher and Peter's conversation about the length of their... socks. * EmpathicEnvironment: When [[spoiler:Barbara leaves Catcher near the end and he sadly watches her cab drive away]], a thunderstorm starts. It's still raining in the next scene [[spoiler:with Catcher depressed over losing Barbara]].* EurekaMoment: "I'm just like every other man!"** Catcher has one (accompanied by a thunderclap) [[spoiler:when he gets the idea to write a new expose about how falling in love with Barbara changed him and made him a better person.]]* EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture: Not ''TheFuture", but Now Magazine's offices are built to be much more round than their competitor's. * FengSchwing: Spoofed with Catcher's apartment, which, among other things, has a hideaway bar that takes up the entire wall.* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: In the hairdresser, Catcher states that Peter said - though he didn't - that Barbara was a brunette and did not sound like a blonde on the telephone. As we find out later in both senses, she was, and isn't.]]* FriendsRentControl : Another parody. Barbara lives in a gorgeous, expansive apartment with a terrace. While this might be Justified if she had already been a best-seller, she moves in the day she arrives. * GambitRoulette: [[spoiler:Barbara/Nancy's entire plot to snare Catcher, which essentially hinges on her uncanny prediction of the entirety of the film's events up until the point of her revelation.]] * GodivaHair: The Beatnik girl (topless but implied to be fully naked) in the party scene. * HighClassGloves: A few of the fancy dresses have matching gloves, including the gold dresses the triplets wore.* HistoricalInJoke: A deleted scene had Vikki pitching a number of books to her fellow editors, all of which are rejected out of hand. They're all famous feminist works that sold incredibly well and helped shape the movement. Except the last, which was the biography of Neil Armstrong, with a foreword by God.* HurricaneOfPuns: Catcher and Barbara's conversation near the end, about their two magazines, [[WhosOnFirst "Know" and "Now"]]. * IKnowYouKnowIKnow: [[spoiler:How Nancy/Barbara knew her plan would work.]]* {{Infodump}}: Parodied with Barbara's revelatory speech detailing her whole plan. It goes on for several minutes without once cutting away from Renée Zellweger.** Includes an absolutely priceless ReactionShot from Ewan McGregor.* InspirationalInsult: Towards the end of the movie, Peter finally gets the courage to make a move on Vicki when she, upset with him over something else, slaps him and tells him that he's "just like every other man!" So he realizes that he needs to stop overthinking it, just "be a man", get out of his head and into her pants. So he does.* LadykillerInLove: Catcher when he starts BecomingTheMask. [[spoiler:In pretending to be a man interested in Barbara, his interest becomes genuine and he starts actually falling in love with her.]]* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: At dinner, Vikki tells Peter how she dismissed the theory that life was a zany sex comedy in which he switched keys with the lead to ensnare her. Unsurprisingly, the theory that Peter was gay made more sense.* LineOfSightName: Catcher's alias of "Zip Martin", via signs in a drycleaners.* LivingLegend: Catcher Block, ladies' man, man's man, man about town is a SexGod.* LogoJoke: The Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox logo of the film's era begins the movie, complete with credits to [=CinemaScope=]. The "A News Corporation Company" byline is ungainly added in.** Barbara Novak deliberately seeks this out as part of her {{plan}}.* MatchCut: In the Mahogany Room, Peter and Vikki are about to clink glasses (Peter has no glass so he opts for a shaker - no, an ''actual'' shaker), and it cuts to Barbara and Catcher in a theatre box clinking their own glasses. * MeaningfulEcho: Catcher saying "One, two, three, four..." after leaving Barbara, expecting her to react to his walking away. The first time he does it after the dry cleaner's scene, and it works. [[spoiler:The second, he does it at her offices at ''Now'', expecting her to follow him. She doesn't. Instead, she appears in the elevator as he waits for it.]]* MistakenForGay: Peter, played by gay actor David Hyde Pierce.* TheMistress: The mistress of Theodore Banner, head of the publishing house, stops listening to him thanks to the book.* OffscreenInertia: [[spoiler:So... Are they going to stay on that rope ladder all the way to Vegas?]]* OffscreenTeleportation: [[spoiler:Barbara appearing in the elevator at the very end, when Catcher had just tried to apologize to her in her office.]]* OhCrap:** Vikki gets one in Catcher's apartment the first time when Peter causes the couch behind her to convert into a bed behind her, knocking her over, especially the look on her face before it crashes down on top of her. ** [[spoiler:Peter accidentally revealing the truth about Catcher's plan in front of Vikki.]]** Catcher has a minor one after the OohMeAccentsSlipping moment below. * OldMaid: Vicki's secretary Gladys is a parody of the old maid trope, presented as DeliberateValuesDissonance.* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In-story. Catcher's Southern accent as Zip Martin briefly slips into his own when he remarks Barbara has an eyelash, and she points it out. Followed by a minor OhCrap on his part. * OpenMouthInsertFoot: C.W. in this exchange in the Banner House boardroom, which earns him funny looks from the other editors:-->'''Barbara''': I said women should refrain from love, C.W., not sex.-->'''C.W.''' Isn't that the same thing?* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: "Oh, Vikki! You're the best friend a girl from Maine who wrote a book and came to New York could ever have!" Meant as a genuine compliment. Peter also does one a few scenes later to Catcher: "You're the best friend a guy with twenty diagnosed neuroses ever had."* OutGambitted: [[spoiler:Novak pulls this on Block. It works out well for both of them though.]]* PrettyInMink: Vikki wears a mink wrap for a date, and the stylish triplets wear identical white fox wraps.* PunnyName: Catcher Block. Also Johnny Trementus, the quarterback.%%* RecordNeedleScratch: Fairly justified.* {{Retraux}}: Everything is meant to evoke the look and style of an early '60s romantic comedy, including the deliberately overlit sets, old-fashioned SplitScreen effects, cheesy rear-projected DrivingADesk scenes, etc. They even went as far as making the main cast's wardrobe from scratch, like a movie production from the 60s would have done, rather than obtaining period-specific clothing from a costume warehouse.* RuleOfThree: When attempting to meet Barbara at the start of the film, Catcher is waylaid by his girlfriends three times. The third time, the line between their phone conversation is shaped like a lightning bolt and Barbara is understandably angry that he isn't coming. * SameSexTriplets: Catcher's first scene is him, saying goodbye to three triplet brunettes who just can't bear to see him leave.* SexyStewardess: Catcher Block seems to attract these like flies.* SlapSlapKiss: Literally. Vikki slaps Peter after giving him the InspirationalInsult mentioned above, and a second later (after his EurekaMoment) he turns back to her and plants a BigDamnKiss on her.* StrawFeminist: Parodied; the female characters spend the movie bouncing wildly between the early 1960s version of this trope and its 'Barbie doll housewife' extreme opposite.* ThunderEqualsDownpour: [[spoiler:When Barbara leaves Catcher in the street after BecomingTheMask, this happens.]]* TitleDrop: Obviously, with the title of Barbara's book.* TranquilFury: Catcher briefly slips into this when he hears on the phone that Gwendolyn has rejected his date thanks to Barbara, and he promptly hangs up on her.* TwiceShy: Peter and Vikki. That is, until the InspirationalInsult given to Peter by Vikki near the end.* YouGetMeCoffee: How Vikki's fellow editors demonstrate their contempt for her. Also subverted with the last editor.-->'''Vikki:''' And you?-->'''RJ:''' Oh, none for me.-->'''Vikkie:''' Thanks, RJ.-->'''RJ:''' I'll have a sanka. ----

For the second year in a row, something's wrong with New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks. In 2012, it was injury-related. In 2013, Nicks has no excuse for his shockingly ineffective play.
Nicks has caught just 57.5 percent of the balls thrown his way this season, according to Pro Football Focus (subscription required), and he has yet to find the end zone in 10 starts. He's the only offensive skill position player in the NFL who has started all of his team's games but hasn't scored a touchdown.
In fact, after averaging eight touchdowns per season during the first three years of his career, Nicks has scored just three times in 23 games since the start of the 2012 campaign.
During his first three years in the league, Nicks caught 62.3 percent of the passes he saw, but that number has dropped to 56.2 the last two years. He was targeted on 14.2 percent of his snaps between 2010 and 2012, but that rate has dropped to 12.1 this year.
He was targeted deep (beyond 20 yards) on 3.1 percent of his snaps those first three seasons, catching 38 percent of those deep balls. Since, he's been targeted deep only 2.1 percent of the time and has secured just 26 percent of those passes.
The 25-year-old former first-round pick has dropped six of the 48 catchable passes thrown his way in 2013, which gives him the seventh-highest drop rate in the league (12.5) among receivers who have played at least 50 percent of their teams' snaps, per PFF. He dropped only 18 passes on 273 catchable targets (a drop rate of 6.6) during the first four seasons of his career.

It would be easy to point to the emergence of Victor Cruz, and that has certainly contributed to his decrease in targets, but Nicks was still quite effective down the stretch after Cruz broke out in 2011. They're very different players, with Cruz a slot sensation and Nicks posted out wide.
Quarterback Eli Manning's play has definitely dropped off as well, but Cruz has still been performing at a Pro Bowl level, and that doesn't explain why Nicks is pulling in fewer catchable passes.
The majority of the blame should lie squarely on Nicks himself, who has fallen flat on his face in a contract year that's smack dab in the middle of what's supposed to be his prime.
Instead, you have to wonder if Nicks has simply lost a step, which can separate a star from a schmo in this league.
Exhibit A: In the second quarter against Philly in Week 8, Nicks has single coverage as Manning's first read on the left sideline. Manning recognizes that and puts one out ahead of Nicks as soon as he sees that he and the Eagles corner Cary Williams aren't even within 10 yards...
He was able to get that crucial step on Dunta Robinson in Week 4 in Kansas City...
Nicks has caught two passes of 20-plus yards in the last two weeks, but in the first case he didn't have to beat anyone, per se, instead finding a soft spot in Oakland's zone defense...
Hakeem Nicks holds the ball like a piece of hot coal. #Giants— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) November 17, 2013
Has Hakeem Nicks lost a step, or is this just an off year?
The sheer numbers indicate that Manning has lost some confidence in Nicks, and it's not a good sign that he sat out three passing plays Sunday against Green Bay, regardless of whether his knee/groin factored in (he claims he chose to leave the game). On one of those plays, a pass intended for Nicks' replacement, Louis Murphy, was intercepted.
"That's not something I'm going to discuss," head coach Tom Coughlin said Monday, according to ESPN.com. "What I did see was the play that resulted in an interception that everybody saw and the play before that, but those things will stay inside and we'll make the corrections and we'll do a better job of trying to get everybody on the same page and we'll move forward."
The Giants have won four straight now, though, so maybe they're realizing that they don't necessarily need Nicks to make this thing work. No. 3 wide receiver Rueben Randle possesses more upside and has scored six times this season. The second-year LSU product might be a more sensible option for 2014, which would mean that Nicks and the team are only six weeks away from a divorce.
At this point, it'd be surprising if that didn't happen.

WAILUKU - Just when it appeared Maui's show would finish with a Big Island final act, Orion Miyasato-Farias came though.
Maui Blue, which lost to Hilo earlier Monday in the Pony 14 state baseball tournament, trailed Kona by a run in the bottom of the seventh inning of the night game at Maehara Stadium before Miyasato-Farias doubled to right field to score Kekoa Ostermiller and Kawena Alo-Kaonohi for a 7-6 victory.
"Just put the ball in play, that's all I was thinking," Miyasato-Farias said. "I saw it get over (the second baseman) and it felt good. At least I hit the ball."

Miyasato-Farias finished the game 3-for-4 with five RBIs.
Maui had been sent to the elimination game after losing 4-2 to Hilo, which got a 15-strikeout performance from Edgar Barclay. Maui and Hilo will meet again today for the title, with Maui needing to win two games in a row.
"Thankfully we fought back in the end," said Maui coach Kevin Galicinao. "Kona has got a great team, great pitching, great everything, hats off to Kona. Orion struggled the whole tournament, but when we needed him the most he came through in the biggest moment."
Nawai Kaupe, the only girl in the tournament, threw three scoreless innings of relief and left with a 5-3 lead. Kona tied the game in the sixth and went in front 6-5 in the seventh. Maui first baseman Kaipo Paschoal kept the lead from getting larger when he caught a popped-up bunt and finished a double play with a throw to third base.
Micah Jio gave Maui a 1-0 lead with a home run on the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning.
Kona had defeated Kauai 12-8 in the day's first game.
In the contest that followed, Barclay needed just 95 pitches, throwing 69 of them for strikes.
"I don't think I have ever had 15 strikeouts," said Barclay, who added two doubles in three at-bats. "My defense helped me out a lot. Without them and without our offense, I wouldn't have been able to do as well. I knew I just had to be patient and that our team would come through."
Barclay is a 15-year-old rising senior at St. Joseph's High School, which does not have a baseball team.
"I have a lot of fun because all of these kids are my age," said Barclay, who skipped the 2nd and 5th grades. "I hang out with older kids, but it is fun to hang out with kids my own age."
Barclay will not be able to pitch today.
"That's a big plus for us that (Barclay) is done for the tournament," Galicinao said. "We better be ready - if they are not pumped up for that, I don't know what would get them pumped up."
Maui scored in the first inning when Jio led off with an infield single, and two throwing errors allowed him to circle the bases on the same play. Hilo tied the game in the second on a leadoff home run by Taylor Mondina.
Maui took the lead back in the fourth when Alo-Kaonohi singled with two outs and then scored on a short bloop single to right field by Miyasato-Farias, who was pinch hitting. Alo-Kaonohi took off on the 3-2 pitch and barely beat the tag at the plate.
Hilo answered with three runs in the top of the fifth.

Fiat is making headlines with its return to the United States, and the impending 500 Sport appears to be a mainstay in the lineup.
The 500's Sport model appears to share body cues with its overseas Abarth counterpart, as shown in the accompanying photos, and the MultiAir 1.4-liter inline-four is coming as planned. The 500 Sport will come equipped with special 16-inch alloy wheels, painted brake calipers, and other exterior differentiations. A SkyDome sunroof is just one of the teased options that will be up for grabs.
Two other 500 models designated Lounge and Pop are also due at launch and will come with their own unique visual and equipment touches. A 500C cabriolet is set to arrive Spring 2011.
Last month, we learned Chrysler was aiming for 200 initial Fiat dealers in key markets, which will likely sell Alfa Romeos at a later date as well.

Academic-industry research collaborations have long been a source of controversy in medicine. Advocates suggest that collaborations can focus academic researchers on important clinical and translational research problems and provide them with financial and capability-enhancing technical resources.1 Critics maintain that industry engagement distracts from, or distorts, the teaching and research missions of academia.2 Although regulatory and compliance frameworks have been established to govern these relationships, controversy continues to surround efforts to enhance industry and academia collaborations.

Covariance and contravariance : conflict without a cause Castagna, Giuseppe ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems Vol.17, No. 3 (May 1995), pp. 431-447From the Abstract: (http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/castagna94covariance.html) (Full text is on http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~mlewis/CSCI3294-F01/Papers/p431-castagna.pdf.) In type-theoretic research on object-oriented programming, the issue of "covariance versus contravariance" is a topic of continuing debate. In this short note we argue that covariance and contravariance appropriately characterize two distinct and independent mechanisms. The so-called contravariance rule correctly captures the subtyping relation (that relation which establishes which sets of functions can replace another given set in every context). A covariant relation, instead, characterizes the specialization of code (i.e., the definition of new code which replaces old definitions in some particular cases). Therefore, covariance and contravariance are not opposing views, but distinct concepts that each have their place in object-oriented systems. Both can (and should) be integrated in a type-safe manner in object-oriented languages. We also show that the independence of the two mechanisms is not characteristic of a particular model but is valid in general, since covariant specialization is present in record-based models, although it is hidden by a deficiency of all existing calculi that realize this model. As an aside, we show that the lambda-calculus can be taken as the basic calculus for both an overloading-based and a record-based model. Using this approach, one not only obtains a more uniform vision of object-oriented type theories, but in the case of the record-based approach, one also gains multiple dispatching, a feature that existing record-based models do not capture. The resulting type system is similar to that of CecilLanguage.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:"Using places of worship for campaigning will be treated as a violation of the poll code. Religious heads cannot issue calls to vote for members of a particular community or to defeat the nonbelievers," Kerala State Election Commissioner P Kamal Kutty announced in Thiruvananthapuram on September 14.
He was responding to a query on the possibility of reading out of pastoral letters in churches.
The model code of conduct barring government from making any announcements on policy shifts and welfare measures came into force in Kerala with the State Election Commission (SEC) announcing civic polls on September 14, Tuesday.
The general elections to 1,208 local self-government institutions under the three-tier system in the State will be held in two phases on October 23 and October 25, Kamal Kutty said.
Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta Kasargod, Kannur, Wayanad and Kozhikode districts will go to the polls on October 23 and Alappuzha, Idukki, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad and Malappuram on October 25.
Filing of nominations begins September 27 once the commission issues the election notification and it will be open till October 4. They will be scrutinized on October 5 and the last date for withdrawing the nominations is October 7.
Polling will be from 7 am to 5 pm. Counting and result announcement are scheduled for October 27. The newly-elected officials will be sworn in on November 1, the state formation day.
There are 978 grama panchayats (village councils), 152 block panchayats, 14 district panchayats, 60 municipalities and five corporations in the State, vast majority of them held by the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) led by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) .
The commissioner said 8,000 electronic voting machines will be used in the city corporations and municipalities while the villagers will cast their vote using the traditional ballot paper. Some 225,000 government employees would be deployed for the elections that would cost the exchequer Rs 650 million.
Majority of the councils will see women at the helms after the elections, the first being held after reserving half the seats for them — with the 605 out of 1,208 institutions reserved for them to head.
A meeting of recognized political parties will be held today to discuss issues related to the polls and the model code of conduct. The code would, for the first time, include a provision that any campaigning by state, central and local government employees directly or indirectly would be considered a violation of the code.

Update, 2:02p.m.:
Rookie Bradon Holtby will start in goal for the Caps tonight.
Update, 12:29 p.m.:
Torts reason for Biron tonight…
"Marty is playing well, and there is no way Hank is going to play 5 in 7"
Prust is a game time decision
Update, 12:21 p.m.:
Girardi is out of the lineup tonight.
Update, 12:10 p.m.:
Prust says he's good to play tonight. Just rested for morning skate.
…i'll reiterate what Boyle said Saturday night: Prust = Warrior.
…wonder if Torts agrees with Prust's assessment of his injury.
Update, 11:59 a.m.:
Jesse Spector is reporting that Marty Biron will get the start tonight in Washington.
…why in the world would Biron get the start against Caps, with Hank going tomorrow against the lesser Panthers? Got to question Torts use of goalies recently.
Update, 11:58 a.m.:
Jim Cerny wonders if Torts will dress seven defensemen to guard against Girardi not making it through the game.
While, Steve Zipay is saying Girardi may be out, a gametime decision or 7th defenseman.
Update, 11:52 a.m.:
Del Zotto skated on his own likely sitting if Girardi can't go.
Update, 11:47 a.m.:
Looks like Prust is out and Girardi is in. Tonight's lines:
Update, 11:33 a.m.:
Michael Del Zotto is also on the ice, while Evgeny Grachev will again wear #91.
Girardi has two black eyes from the broken nose he received in his fight with Ladd on Saturday night and both Vinny Prospal and Ryan Callahan are skating in non-contact jerseys.
Original Post:
@thenyrangers says that Dan Girardi is on the ice for the morning skate, while Brandon Prust is not.
Jesse Spector reports that Derek Stepan has a cut under his eye.
…not sure if this means anything other than Girardi needs to test his injury, while Prust needs to rest his. Won't know full lineup until much later.

Roaming on Urban Streets
In Teju Cole's novel "Open City" (Random House, 259 pages, $25), the narrator, a Nigerian émigré named Julius, says that he has developed the habit of "aimless wandering" through New York City. He is not being coy. "Open City" obediently follows him as he ambles through Central Park, browses in bookstores, strolls through museum galleries and tours the sights around Wall Street. He is in America on a fellowship to study psychiatry; when he takes a vacation, he goes to Brussels and wanders aimlessly there.
Julius finds that the more he roams the "solitary but social territory" of the streets, the more invisible he becomes. In part because he's an expatriate and in part because he's attracted to an existential philosophy that exalts "being magnificently isolated from all loyalties," Julius feels alienated from the busy neighborhoods he passes through and the garrulous people he meets. Yet there remains a vague purpose to his purposelessness, a low-simmering desire to recognize himself in his surroundings: "I wanted to find the line that connected me to my own part in these stories."
The forerunner to this perambulatory quest is Alfred Kazin's classic memoir "A Walker in the City" (1951), which guides readers through and beyond the Brooklyn streets of the author's childhood. Near the end of his journey, Kazin discovers a brownstone that resembles the architecture of his Brownsville ghetto and seems to link him to the greater metropolis: "I had stumbled on a connection between myself and the shape and color of time in the streets of New York."
But in "Open City," Mr. Cole is insistent that Julius never connect with anything. He and his girlfriend have "drifted apart"; he rebuffs other African expats who assume a bond with him; his friend's wife dies and he doesn't even learn of it for months.
On a few occasions, Julius likens his displacement to that of the birds that pass through the city, describing how he "flitted from book to book" and, later, "flitted in and out of myself." But the poetic comparison is never convincing—migratory birds, after all, have a destination. Mr. Cole supplies a likelier diagnosis when Julius discusses his psychiatric studies. "The practice of psychiatry," Julius explains in one of his numerous sociological meditations, "is partly about seeing the world as a collection of tribes." So the New York of this cerebral but sterile novel is presented as an immense clinical trial, and Julius stands outside of it dispassionately recording notes.
A paucity of emotion is not the problem in Nathacha Appanah's tear-stained new novel "The Last Brother" (Graywolf Press, 164 pages, $14). The book is about a 9-year-old boy named Raj on the African island of Mauritius in the 1940s, at that time a British colony. Raj's two brothers die in a mudslide, and he is raised by his meek mother and abusive father, a prison guard.
One day Raj brings lunch to his father at the prison and meets an orphan named David, with whom he feels an instant kinship. Unbeknownst to Raj, David and the other inmates are European Jewish refugees who were denied entrance to Palestine and have been interned indefinitely by the British. Raj helps David escape, and the two set out on a naïve and forlornly fated journey to an imaginary promised land free of "poverty, sadness, and beatings with a bamboo cane."
"The Last Brother" has been rhapsodically translated by Geoffrey Strachan, and there is a purity and sweetness to Raj's feelings for David—whose "blond crown shone like a cluster of golden threads"—that is reminiscent of King David's love for Jonathan. But Raj is telling his story as an old, unsteady man, and he constantly interrupts himself to pour out his grief: "When I speak of David, my heart is heavy, my head teems, and I am so assailed by regrets that I could weep." The orphaned Holocaust escapee, the abused child, the remorseful old man recounting it all—these elements lead Ms. Appanah to an excess of lamentation that overwhelms the brief, tender story being told.
