A classic performance by youth for Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra
If you're worried about the future of classical music, you should really hear this weekend's Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert, which features both a conductor and soloist of the under-30 set.
Guest conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali led the orchestra through beautifully crafted interpretations of music by Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius on Friday evening. He and the orchestra were joined by cellist Andreas Brantelid in a deeply musical rendering of Dmitri Shostakovich's Concerto No. 1 for Cello and Orchestra. »Read Full Article
Chamber Theatre faces tragedy in 'October, Before I Was Born'
Late on a Tuesday afternoon in October 1960, a deadly explosion at the Tennessee Eastman Co. plant left employees' loved ones in the dark, desperately waiting for news in a prewired era of shared phone lines and radio stations that signed off at dusk.
In Lori Matthews' "October, Before I Was Born" — which opened at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre Friday, under C. Michael Wright's direction — we spend 90 anxiously unfolding, real-time minutes waiting alongside three of them. »Read Full Article

DEFINITION of 'Auction Rate Bond - ARB'
A debt security with an adjustable interest rate and fixed term of 20-30 years. An auction rate bond's (ARB) interest rate is determined through a modified Dutch auction (where the price starts high and gets lower and lower until buyers are found) on a set schedule every seven, 14, 28 or 35 days. Non-profit institutions and municipalities utilize ARBs as a means to reduce borrowing costs for long-term financing.
BREAKING DOWN 'Auction Rate Bond - ARB'
The rates on ARBs are set in a similar way to how rates on new U.S. Treasury bills are set when they are issued. However, when an auction fails due to a lack of buyers, both bondholders and bond issuers are negatively impacted. The bondholders can't sell what is supposed to be a liquid investment and issuers are forced to pay higher default rates (set when the bonds were initially sold).

Mention the name Ron Hextall to any Philadelphia sports fan thirty years and older and you will get a response unlike most any other Flyer player in history. And that's not only Flyers history, but in all of Philadelphia sports history. Why? Because when you talk about Ron Hextall, it's hard not to raise your tone, get a little more intense and speak with the same passion, grit, and determination that he brought to the Flyers each and every night. He was not only the goalie, he was a fiery leader who never turned away from any physical play around the net. Giving a slash on the legs of an opponent trying to screen his sight lines or shoving a player after the whistle was common for Hextall.
…And when you head hunt a Flyers All Star left-winger, someone's going to make you pay.
It was in Game 6 of the Conference finals vs. the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers were down three games to two and facing elimation on home ice. With the Flyers trailing 4-2 with less than two minutes to go, Ron decided he'd had enough and took matters into his own hands. Hextall went after Chelios in retaliation of a "flying elbow" put onto teammate Brian Propp back in Game 1 of the series. That hit caused Propp to be stretchered off of the ice and miss Game 2, a 3-0 Montreal win.
Hextall charged after the Canadiens' star defenseman near the right faceoff circle after an offsides call late in the game. He clipped him with a butt end, then tackled, punched, and grappled with Chelios as the linesman tried to pull them apart. The rest of the remaining players piled in to the corner too, as old- fashioned "donnybrook" broke out. One of the lasting images of the incident is of a jersey-less Hextall, barking at Chelios as they were separated and Ron firing his blocker at him in one final attempt to get at Chelios.
Another highlight of the scrum was the Flyers' Kjell Samuelsson landing a left-handed haymaker to the face of Montreal's Bobby Smith, who was mixing it up with Flyers captain Dave Poulin along the boards. Montreal's goalie Patrick Roy (who did not skate down the ice to join) only "after" the melee decided he wanted a piece of Hextall. He was standing at his own blue line waving his arms, and briefly removed his mask as if to try and antagonize the Flyers' goalie. If it weren't for the restraint of linesman Dennis Gauthier on Hextall, Roy would have gotten way more than he bargained for.
The hit on Chelios earned Hextall a 12-game suspension for the start of the 1989-'90 season. Following the incident, Hextall was quoted as saying that he only wanted to "fight" Chelios, not hurt him. Regardless of his intentions, Hextall showed that he had his teammates backs no matter what and gave Flyers fans one of the more memorable fights in their storied history.
You can see the video of the incident below:

Mark my word, if OSU wins 20 games or more they are IN!!! Would it be the best thing for the team? Probably not. The NIT would probably be better because they could win multiple games and get more experience. That is counting B1G tournament wins also.

Grew up in the subs north of Columbus and remember throwing tantrums when 8 years old and Woody's Buckeyes would lose. Now living in Italy and started reading Eleven Warriors on a daily basis after Coach Meyer was hired.

It doesn't have to be official practice time. You tell them that they need to shoot 300 free throws before hitting the showers. Coaches aren't present so it doesn't count as official practice time.
Ok, you guys can down vote me all you want but OSU's free throw shooting is abysmal. Anyone who knows anything about sports and basketball tell me the one thing that improves free throw shooting percentage. I think it's called repetition and how do you get reps for shooting free throws? In practice. Who is in charge of practices? Coaches. This is on coaching. Sorry to all the Matta worshipers for bringing up a negative thing on Matta, but this is just bringing up the facts. Don't get me wrong, I like Matta too, but there is no excuse for being such a poor foul shooting team.
Not wanting to be a statistic nazi or anything but it should read in the first paragraph that the Bucks trailed by 2 at the half. Just an FYI.
Clemson just didn't have the defense to pull it off. If the Bucks don't get Natty next year, they will the following year. GO BUCKS!!!
Good luck to Dontre for next year!! Go Bucks!!
I don't expect a Natty next year either but look at Clemson and how many they replaced, expecially on the line and then I think that it's at least possible. Not likely but still possible.
I agree as the stars just lined up against us this year where as it was the opposite last year. If we lose any other game besides Michigan St., we are in. If ttun doesn't commit an _ichagan move at the end of Michigan St. game on last play, we are in. It just wasn't meant to be this year.
People all over, including here, are being quite hard on the Buckeyes. Their average margin of victory is in the top 5 in the country. I agree they could have done better in many games but that just shows you how high the expectations were this year.
In a vacuum, Rutgers would be the better job (B1G money, new AD, etc.) but Syracuse isn't in the same division as Ohio State, Michigan State, and Michigan.
I didn't even know Syracuse was in the B1G.
Did Beck ever get this game plan approved by Meyer?
I continue to be amazed by Beck's play calling. I'm getting sick of it.
Beck needs some lessons on play calling. How in the world do you not use Elliot, the best back in college football, when it's 1st and goal???!!!
The whole time I was reading this, I was waiting for "Halloween fools!!!" But it never came, darn it.
I'm against these dui checkpoints. They are against the constitution but no one complains because they think they make us safer. Anyone willing to give up their liberty for greater safety deserves neither. There, I said it.
Then there is the whole idea that nothing good happens on the street after midnight. Stay inside guys. It's not worth it.
PEOPLE!!! Read the comments before posting comments pleeeeeeaaaaase. Stanley isn't saying that these are the 4 teams that he predicts to be in playoff. He is saying that if the season were to end TODAY, this is how he would vote. Just like when the committee last year voted 3 SEC teams in the first playoff rankings. In hindsight, it was absurd but it wasn't at the time, close, but not totally. You could make an argument for Stanley's picks at least if the season were to end today.
It's one thing for a fan to make a sign that is classless and full of hate but for GD and for Pizza Suck to do it is completely different and in a different league of classless.
I doubt Urban slept but he did sweep through opponents to NC with 1 top 50 pick in draft. (Wink)
It is so ridiculous that people blame Urban for Hernandez. It's against all logic and reason. Think about this... What if a player committed a crime playing college ball, and it doesn't matter what crime, and then how about we blame his high school coach for it. People don't know how to think anymore.
I thought Eli Apple was not continuing his football career because of concussions?
Well given that financial planning is my job, I think I have some basis for saying it would a terrible decision, at least financially.
I think this is precisely your problem. You are just seeing the financial reasons and dollar signs in this equation. I'm not saying this isn't important but leaving college to play in the NBA deals with more than just money matters. The college game is a completely different animal than the NBA and maybe, just maybe, Russell wants to have another year of the college experience. Once you leave college, you are done for life in that arena and the rest of your playing days is in the NBA. Ya think maybe he might want another year in the college experience and all the positives that come with it? I don't know, but it's his decision and to say it would be dumb not to go to the NBA is quite presumptuous.
Ohhh ok. got it. Thanks. makes sense.
You may be right about Buck telling off Wexner(which I happen to like) but who had more to gain by it being built?
However, nice story about Buck. Thanks for that.
On "Buck" being mayor when the 670 project got off the ground, I think the real force behind it was Wexner, not Buck. Oh and living in Italy has it's advantages to making the first comment on the early Skullys. Thanks DJ. (What do you do DJ? Write the Skully the night before, set your alarm for 4:30am and post it?)
ESecPN is still ESecPN. The disrespect of the B1G and the over valued SEC has not gone any where. Wish I could boycott ESecPN.

Heading into Season 3, I'd have guessed Ciaran Hinds' Mance Rayder would emerge as the fantasy drama's new breakout character. I was very wrong, not only because the show has kept Mance a little too close to the vest, but also because Diana Rigg simply owns it as the Queen of Thorns. King's Landing is already a contentious, fierce place for political operators and the politically oppressed, but Rigg as Olenna is a very welcome addition to the Westeros ranks.

Very good -- hot and comfort food with almost no work. I left mine in for the whole day, my crockpot switches to warm when the 5 hours is up -- wonderful and so easy too! I didn't have any Italian seasoning so use 1 tsp oregano and 1 tsp thyme. Next time I may add carrots and/or other veggies depending what we have on hand. Thanks for sharing!
This is a very good stew! I used the chicken breasts and followed the recipe exactly. I had to cook mine longer than 5 hours because the rice wasn't done yet. Delicious!!! Made for PAC Spring 2011.
What an easy tasty dish when the brain is frazzled and won't let you think of what to make for dinner LOL I had leftover turkey in the fridge and had alot going on and could not for the life of me think of what to do with the leftovers . WAM saw this recipe in Everyday is a Holiday tag and the lightbulb went off. Quick to put together especially since the turkey was done. I thought I had wild rice so had to sub a wild rice/ white rice mix. I used turkey broth I had in the freezer. I had to add more broth then called for but I think it was from using the white rice. At first as it was cooking I thought maybe there was to much garlic but it mellowed wonderfully as it cooked. Because the turkey was already cooked it took maybe 3 hours in the crockpot.
Great tasting easy stew! I used chicken thighs with skin although I throw out the skin, but it provides more chicken flavor to the brew. I also used a mixture of wild and brown rice. Made for Spring 2009 Potluck tag.

Le misteriose Feste dell'Alloro nei Monti Nebrodi
di Marcello Mento
Rome, July 8 - The long-awaited and much-debated restoration work on Rome's iconic Colosseum should begin within 10 days, Mayor Ignazio Marino said Monday. The 25-million-euro restoration project is also controversial because it will be privately financed by Diego Della Valle, owner of upscale shoe manufacturer Tod's. As Marino announced the start date for the Colosseum project, he also said that the city is close to beginning a project limiting private traffic around the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums. The first phase of a trial traffic control plan will begin July 30, he said. That will include tougher speed limits on the taxis and buses permitted in the area along the Via dei Fori Imperiali. Consumer group Codacons has a long-running legal complaint that the bidding process on the project lacked transparency and yielded too many concessions to Della Valle. The Roman superintendency of archeology already began work in January to create a safety zone around the ancient Roman arena to prevent injuries from possible falling materials. The Colosseum is close to 2,000 years old and feeling its age. Begun in 72 AD, the Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheatre, is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. It is 189 meters by 156 meters and covers an area of 24,000 square meters. Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, it was used for gladiatorial contests, mock sea battles, executions and re-enactments of mythological dramas.

Report of the 56th Meeting of CDM Executive Board Released
17 September 2010: The report of the 56th meeting of the Clean Developing Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board, which took place from 13-17 September 2010, in Brasília, Brazil, to consider matters relating to the operation of the CDM, is now available on the CDM website.
At the meeting, the Board considered matters relating to: accreditation of operational entities; issuance of certified emission reductions (CERs) and the CDM registry; methodologies for baselines and monitoring plans; regional distribution of CDM projects; registration of CDM project activities; resources for the work on the CDM and the CDM management plan; relations with designated operational and applicant entities; CDM afforestation and reforestation (A/R) project activities; small-scale CDM project activities; and the CDM programmes of activities.
On the accreditation of operational entities, the Board agreed to accredit and provisionally designate the entities 'ÄúCEPREI certification body'ÄĚ and 'ÄúLGAI Technological Center, S.A.'ÄĚ for three years each, for the validation and verification/certification functions in the specified sectoral scopes. The Board also considered various issues of general guidance relating to designated operational and applicant entities. Regarding methodologies for baselines and monitoring plans, the Board agreed to approve methodology AM0089 'ÄúProduction of diesel using a mixed feedstock of gasoil and vegetable oil'ÄĚ and methodology AM0090 'ÄúModal shift in transportation of cargo from road transportation to water or rail transportation.'ÄĚ It agreed not to approve methodology NM0310 'ÄúCarbon dioxide emission reductions by the introduction of Hot Direct Reduction Iron in the Electric Arc Furnaces,'ÄĚ which, if revised, could be resubmitted.
The Board also considered issues relating to CDM A/R project activities and agreed to approve methodology AR-AMS0007 'ÄúSimplified baseline and monitoring methodology for small-scale A/R CDM project activities on grasslands or croplands.'ÄĚ The Board approved the revised tool 'ÄúEstimation of carbon stocks and change in carbon stocks of trees and shrubs in A/R CDM project activities'ÄĚ and the revised 'ÄúGuidelines for completing the CDM A/R forms for: the project design document (CDM-AR-PDD) and the proposed new baseline and monitoring methodology (CDM-AR-NM).'ÄĚ Regarding small-scale projects, the Board approved two new small-scale methodologies: AMS-III.AM 'ÄúFuel switch in a cogeneration/trigeneration system'ÄĚ; and AMS-III.AN "Fossil fuel switch in existing manufacturing industries.'ÄĚ It also agreed to revise the following approved methodologies: AMS-I.E 'ÄúSwitch from non-renewable biomass for thermal applications by the user,'ÄĚ to cover renewable energy water purification applications displacing non-renewable biomass usage; AMS-I.C 'ÄúThermal energy production with or without electricity,'ÄĚ to include a procedure for determining baseline efficiency for a new cogeneration system where subsystem equipment are provided by different manufacturers; and AMS.III.X 'ÄúEnergy efficiency and HFC-134a recovery in residential refrigerators,'ÄĚ to remove the requirement to conclude the installation within the first year and to include projects that may not be undertaking the recovery or claiming emission reductions from recovering hydrofluorocarbon (HFC).
The Board also considered requests for the registration of new project activities and agreed to register the project activities 'ÄúGansu Yumen Diwopu Phase II Wind Power Project'ÄĚ and 'ÄúHuaneng Changyi Phase I Wind Farm Project.'ÄĚ It also agreed to register 36 other project activities, if requested corrections are made and requested additional documentation submitted. The Board considered various requests made by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP) to the Board. Regarding procedures for appeals against adverse rulings by the Board regarding requests for registration or issuance, the Board considered the draft procedures prepared by the Secretariat. It considered that the main structure of the draft is a suitable basis for the Board's recommendation to the COP/MOP and requested the Secretariat to revise the draft incorporating the comments by members for consideration by the Board at its 57th meeting. It further requested the Secretariat to work with a small group of members to develop a proposal providing options regarding the appropriate body to serve as the appeals body. [CDM EB-56 Report]

Let Your Kids Play With Matches
Modern society is safe and supporting, but we could learn a thing or two from traditional cultures
It must say something about the deep human longing for big ideas that explain everything that books like Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" (1997) or Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat" (2005) do so well. Nobody could possibly read them for literary pleasure: Books of this sort are invariably ponderous, plodding, even deathly dull, their authors attempting to leaven the proceedings with gimmicks (lists, cutesy acronyms) and hand-holding authorial intrusions ("let me explain . . .") as a substitute for good writing. They sell like hot cakes.
The World Until Yesterday
By Jared Diamond
Viking, 498 pages, $36
"Guns, Germs, and Steel" transformed Mr. Diamond from an obscure ornithologist and physiologist (his original specialty was the gall bladder) into a star among "public intellectuals." That book's basic premise—which earned Mr. Diamond the enmity of academics in both the humanities and social sciences and from both ends of the political spectrum—was that the global domination of Western societies was mostly geographic and environmental happenstance. Favorable climates and soils and the availability of animal and plant species suitable for domestication largely determined everything that has occurred in the 11,000 years since the rise of agriculture: Food surpluses due to more efficient cultivation led to higher population densities, political centralization and advanced technology.
Mr. Diamond's theory had the virtue of offering a neat explanation for cultural differences that did not rely upon any suggestion of inherent racial superiority of one group over another. It had the vice of embracing an environmentally deterministic idea of cultural evolution that most anthropologists view as naïve or ridiculous, and of ignoring altogether the role of human agency. Leftist social historians pointed out that Mr. Diamond completely swept out of the picture moral choices such as colonialism and enslavement that kept many parts of the world in subjugation for centuries. Conservatives complained that the author discounted the importance of Western moral and political philosophy, particularly the concepts of individual liberty, property rights and free markets, in making scientific and material progress possible.
In "Collapse" (2005), Mr. Diamond extended the idea of environment as a cultural driving force to explain the sudden demise of civilizations, such as the Anasazi of the American Southwest and the Easter Islanders, and sweepingly argued that their fate will be ours unless we reduce human population and resource consumption. In "The World Until Yesterday," however, Mr. Diamond backs away some from the search for pat, all-encompassing answers. The book is a much more personal and anecdotal account that draws heavily on his own experiences among the primitive tribes of New Guinea with whom he has lived for extended periods since 1964 while carrying out field work on the ecology and evolution of birds.
Although his stated purpose, as the book's subtitle declares, is to find out "what can we learn from traditional societies?," Mr. Diamond is appropriately cautious about romanticizing the primitive world or suggesting that traditional customs always reflect innate environmental, medicinal or spiritual wisdom. One of the most admirable qualities of this book is, in fact, a refreshing skepticism toward simple explanations. Mr. Diamond notes early on that, while some traditional beliefs and practices may reflect effective adaptations to environmental conditions and social needs, others are more about maintaining internal power hierarchies, while still others have no sane reason for existing at all: They are just unique products of the infinite vagaries of human imagination and the quirks of history.
To take one particularly bizarre and grisly example, up until 1957 the Kaulong people—one of a dozen similar tribes living in identical environmental circumstances on the island of New Britain, just east of New Guinea—practiced the ritual strangulation of widows. None of the adjacent tribes did, and, as Mr. Diamond observes, there is no evidence that "Kaulong widow strangling was in any way beneficial to Kaulong society or to the long-term (posthumous) genetic interests of the strangled widow or her relatives." It was just one of those things, yet it was so firmly ingrained as a custom that the widows themselves perpetuated it, insisting that a male relative strangle them when their husbands died, even taunting or mocking his manhood if he quailed at the task.
Mr. Diamond offers some intriguing evidence to suggest that traditional societies may have a thing or two to teach us about raising children, however. He notes that in most hunter-gatherer cultures children are nursed on demand until age 3 or 4, sleep with their parents, are comforted instantly when they cry, and play together in multi-age play groups. They also are rarely punished and allowed far more freedom than we are generally comfortable with. Among the !Kung and Aka pygmies of Africa, children are never physically disciplined, on the grounds that they "have no wits and are not responsible for their actions," Mr. Diamond writes. "Instead, !Kung and Aka children are permitted to slap and insult their parents." In one tribe in the New Guinea Highlands, Mr. Diamond noticed that most of the adults had serious burn scars. It turned out these were mostly acquired in infancy: The adults made it a practice never to interfere with a baby, to the point of not preventing them playing around or touching a fire. (Other groups let small children play with sharp knives.)
Westerners who have lived with these small-scale societies are "struck by the precocious development of social skills in their children"; they are responsible, articulate and competent, and the "adolescent identity crises that plague American teenagers aren't an issue." But Mr. Diamond admits that all these impressions "are just impressions," hard to measure and prove, and his ultimate verdict is nuanced: "At a minimum . . . one can say that hunter-gatherer rearing practices that seem so foreign to us aren't disastrous, and they don't produce societies of obvious sociopaths."
One advantage of Mr. Diamond's anecdotal approach in "The World Until Yesterday" is that the details can be interesting even when they do not offer any larger lessons. This is especially the case when it comes to the many bizarre and varied superstitious traditions he describes, such as elaborate food taboos (eating kangaroo tail, according to one Aborigine tribe, causes premature baldness), and to some of the more hair-raising practices that apparently were the norm in the primitive world. Infanticide, he notes, is a not uncommon practice in traditional societies, a way of disposing of deformed, sickly or simply excess children that would be an unsupportable burden on their parents and the group. In hunter-gatherer societies, the overriding fact of life is a limited food supply, and a woman who is still nursing an older child may abandon or deliberately neglect a newborn so that the older will live; likewise she may abandon one of two twins. Other primitive tribes similarly do away with the old and sick; this is sometimes done by leaving them behind when shifting camp, sometimes by more active means—like encouraging them to jump off cliffs.
The problem with combining a sort-of-anecdotal memoir with a sort-of-big-idea book, however, is that Mr. Diamond insists on trying to milk significance out of everything that happens to him, with considerably varying degrees of success. Although the book has been nominally organized around a series of topics (war, religion, children, danger and accidents, health, language), it really is at heart a ramble. That could be fine, too, except that Mr. Diamond suffers from an all-too-familiar syndrome, albeit one that normally afflicts academic scientists only after they have won a Nobel Prize; he is convinced that everything he has done and every thought that has occurred to him not only is interesting but contains a valuable insight worth sharing with the world. (This includes Mr. Diamond's experience of having recurrent diarrhea in the jungle, from which he draws a considerably less-than-profound conclusion regarding the importance of personal hygiene.)
It also results in much unevenness of coverage. He expends dozens of pages belaboring the utterly obvious—the Western diet has too many calories and leads to high rates of diabetes—while inexplicably devoting little more than a sentence to the entire subject of sex, courtship, love and marriage, offering the single observation that, in most traditional societies, "willing sex partners are almost constantly available." I am sure I am not the only reader who might have been interested in hearing a little more about that.
People who write in order to write a good book, as opposed to those who write to impart their great wisdom, know that the first rule is that most of one's thoughts are not even worth writing down, and a good many that do get written down deserve to be ditched before anyone else sees them. Mr. Diamond's prose, which shows little evidence of ever having been subjected to such discipline, is at times almost comically inept. He frequently sounds like a caricature of a particularly tedious professor, pausing every few paragraphs to interject, "Now, let's consider," "Let's begin by," "Before answering this question," "In the preceding section we discussed," "Having thus addressed the question . . . ." In other places he sounds like a tedious professor lecturing to morons: "There are differences among people of the same age."
The sense of having stumbled into a middle-school textbook is reinforced by the gratuitous inclusion of numerous clunky color photos depicting the obvious, such as a fat American eating a box of fried chicken to illustrate our unhealthy modern diet. He spends pages on didactic definitions of terms: "war," "religion," "tribe." He describes, in mind-numbingly unnecessary detail, the physical appearance and technological amenities of a modern airport in New Guinea (ATM, baggage conveyor belt, X-ray scanners) to make the point that a modern airport in New Guinea now looks the same as a modern airport in the rest of the world. I think we get it.
Some of the "lessons" Mr. Diamond draws, moreover, border on the fatuous, or at least strained. Raise our children bilingually; respect the elderly; have stimulating dinnertime conversation instead of watching TV or playing videogames. "Diet and eating habits are an area in which there is a lot that we can do as individuals to help ourselves," he informs us. No, really? Do we need to read 500 pages about primitive societies to reach such cookie-cutter self-help prescriptions?
But when Mr. Diamond gets done trying to distill everything into a few talking points suitable for a publicity release, he ends with more interesting and subtle observations. I was particularly struck by what the New Guineans themselves had to say about the benefits of having entered the modern world in the decades since their first contact with Westerners in 1931. While they valued much of the technological convenience of the Western lifestyle—matches, clothes, soft beds and especially not having to worry constantly about having enough to eat—it was the non-material benefits that loomed even larger, above all the end of tribal warfare.
"Life was better since the government had come," one Western anthropologist was told by members of the Auyuna tribe, since a man "could leave his house in the morning to urinate without fear of being shot" by an arrow from a hostile neighboring tribesman. In 1931, Mr. Diamond notes, a New Guinea highlander living a few dozen miles from the coast would never have seen the ocean in his lifetime: The idea of traveling even 10 miles from his village "without being killed by an unknown stranger . . . would have been unthinkable."
And one New Guinean woman told Mr. Diamond that what she valued most of all about life in the U.S. was its "anonymity," the freedom to be alone, to have privacy, "and not to have one's every action scrutinized and discussed." As Mr. Diamond insightfully notes, this is simultaneously one of the greatest disadvantages of the modern world, the loneliness, alienation and tension of constantly being among strangers. One wishes that the author's willingness to confront complexity and avoid simple answers had informed more of this disappointingly uneven book.
—Mr. Budiansky's latest book is "Blackett's War: The Men Who Defeated the Nazi U-boats and
Brought Science to the Art of Warfare," forthcoming from Knopf.

How to tie up the Dallas City Council: schedule a simple vote on the DFW Airport board
Hopefully, the candidates for Dallas city manager have been watching the city council in action for the last hour or so because it's been a good lesson in the kind of chaos that can suddenly break out and bring everything to a grinding halt.
What's the problem this time? An appointment to the DFW Airport board. The council is in almost total agreement on two candidates on the ballot. But they are evenly split over whether William Tsao or Theresa Flores should get the nod. If you know anything about the council's history, you know why there are split feelings over the two. These appointments often come down to racial balances on boards.So naturally, the council has spent almost its entire morning arguing not only over which one should be on the board but how to vote on which one to pick. I've counted about a dozen motions, substitute motions, withdrawn motions and who knows what on how it should vote on the matter.
This seems like fairly basic material for a city council: how to vote.
The nuts and bolts are confusing – should the candidates be ranked during the vote or should there just be an up and down vote on all four candidates.
Seems basic enough. Pick a way to do it and move forward. But that's not our Dallas City Council. Instead, people are yelling at each other about how the council should vote. At stake: a 2-year appointment to a local board and the ego of some council members.
Tennell Atkins just summed up my thoughts: "Right now we are fighting over nothing."
That came right after council member Dwaine Caraway walked out in anger. He's promised this vote "will haunt us in time." (Caraway called to say he didn't walk out of the meeting but just walked across the council chamber room.)
Perhaps his absence would change the vote enough to break the impasse. Otherwise, they tend to get hungry at some point.
UPDATE: In the end, Tsao won the appointment, narrowly, with his term not to begin until July 1.

Fred was a big, hulking 62 year old contractor with a salty sense of humor who had been my patient for many years. On his most recent visit when I examined him, his penis was black and blue, and there were several small tears of the skin on the shaft. "What happened?" I asked?
"It looks bad, doesn't it?" he said with a grin. "This is Nature's way of demonstrating the laws of physics. We're talking about shear forces here, doc."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Immovable object meets irresistible force," he went on. "Except that the coverage of the irresistible force is only a thin layer of delicate skin."
Fred has diabetes, and due to poor nerve function, he also has trouble having an orgasm. Diabetes is also a major risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED), and this had been a problem for Fred for even a longer period of time. The oral medications, such as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, often aren't effective in men with diabetes, and this was the case for Fred. So, for sex Fred used our usual "next step" in the urologist's armamentarium for ED, namely injections of medication into the penis itself to create an erection. Not painful (I'm serious!), these injections have a feature which can be very useful for men, namely that the erection often lasts for a very long time, even after a man ejaculates. Which means that a man can keep going for a long time, whether or not he is still excited.
So, what happened to Fred with his "immovable objects" and "irresistible forces?" Well, three days earlier, Fred's wife, Selma, took it upon herself to give Fred an orgasm. She was so determined, that she kept working and working at it until Fred was raw, and sore. And bruised and torn a bit, as it turned out.
"Did her efforts work?" I asked.
"I couldn't come, but I pretended I did," he said. "I couldn't take it anymore, and I wanted to live for another day. Selma and I used to have a lot of sex, and even though I almost never come anymore, it's important for Selma. She still loves it, and likes to think she's the hottest thing going. She would have gotten so down on herself if she knew she hadn't been able to get me off after all that work she put into it."
Although Fred's penile injections allowed him to keep going like the Energizer Bunny despite diabetes and ED, his reduced sensation made it difficult to have an orgasm. And because Selma was determined to give Fred the satisfaction of a bone-shaking climax, they had just kept going and going until Fred was suffering from his physics experiment. "Doc, you've got to help me. I can't go through that again."
An easy solution helped Fred and Selma- lubrication. Selma was post-menopausal, and thus had relatively little vaginal lubrication of her own. Some of the over-the-counter lubricants are great at increasing sensation for both men and women, and can avoid the "shear forces" of too much friction. As the old Brylcreem ads used to say (and if you remember this, you're showing your age, as I guess I'm showing mine)- " A little dab will do ya!"
What I like about Fred's story is how it shows up some of the complex, relational aspects of sex. The tired story line that men are just interested in sex to satisfy their primitive urges is shown the lie by Fred's behavior. In his case, sex is largely for the pleasure of his wife. And faking his own orgasm, as strange as it may sound, was another example of his concern for her sense of sexual self-worth. And in this case, for self-preservation too!

Skip to comments.Noose tied on Ole Miss integration statue
Posted on 02/18/2014 2:01:55 PM PST by Responsibility2nd
OXFORD, Miss. The FBI on Tuesday was helping investigate who tied a noose around the neck of a University of Mississippi statue of James Meredith, who, in 1962, became the first black student to enroll in the then all-white Southern college.
University police on Sunday morning found the rope noose and, on the statues face, a pre-2003 Georgia state flag with a Confederate battle symbol, said campus police Chief Calvin Sellers. Two men were seen near the statue early Sunday and investigators were looking at surveillance footage.
Its a racial hate crime, Mississippi NAACP president Derrick Johnson said Tuesday after a news conference at the state Capitol. At what level do they get prosecuted? I dont know. But as long as we tolerate hate, we will continue to revisit history and the past of this state, and at some point we must move forward.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
I cannot remember any incident like this where the perpetrator was not a "teen."
Will the university reveal the true culprit when the $25K leads him/her to be ratted out by his bros/hos?
I can't remember a recent event like this where the perpetrator was not the victim or part of the aggrieved group.
If itturns out to actually be a "racial hate crime", you can lay the blame squarely at the feet of Barack Hussein Obama.
A noose and a confederate flag ... yep, that proves who did it, alright. Someone stupid. Probably a leftist, but one should interview the Ole' Miss chapter of the Klan as well, just for due diligence.
Let me see here.
Black thug knocks out elderly white victim. Not a Hate Crime.
Somone puts a rope on a statue. HATE CRIME!!!! OH MY GOD!!
(freaking out here)
Racial hate crime? Against what? A statue? LOL
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!!!
I betting: HOAX, perpetrated by leftists to rub salt in old wounds, healed long ago......................
I'm gonna go ahead and predict that when the perpetrator is found, not only will they be a member of the supposedly aggrieved group, but it will be excused because it helped create a "dialogue" on race.
I'd start by investigating members of the racist NAACP. If that turned up nothing, try interrogating members of Holder's Just-Us department.
I think they should set up a bunch of TSA agents to frisk every kid going back and forth to class.
Could Ole Miss football players have been to blame?
Ole Miss linebackers Denzel Nkemdiche and Serderius Bryant were arrested this weekend in separate incidents.
A "six 9's" probability there.
Now remind me again which race has more right to be intimidated by a noose.
They need to determine the whereabouts of one Madonna Constantine.
Well, this being a college you can't rule out a drunken student thinking this would be funny. Nothing good happens after midnight.
Ole Miss is an open campus, and any trouble maker, like a democrat politician, could have easily done this. They are certain to know that they will not get the blame.
I'm more concerned that
Bryant, 22, was cited for public drunk and disturbing the peace....
Public drunk?

Well, one thing we know — no black man was ever lynched by a Republican.
...oh, yeah...
...I remember now...
The FBI?!?!?
I'd love to know exactly why. At most, isn't this small time vandalism?
99.999% chance this is yet another hoax...
Recent history proves you wrong. Such campus incidents have been perpetrated by black adult students or angry black administrators and "professors"..........
Who cares???????
The FBI is helping investigate? That is ridiculous. No federal law was violated. The federal government needs to shrink.
How can tying a noose around a statue be a hate crime? Or a crime of any kind? Nothing was damaged. And why the hell is this a matter for the FBI anyway?
The perpetrator could be some liberal/leftist angry with James Meredith because he was on the staff of Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC).
Its a racial hate crime, Mississippi NAACP president Derrick Johnson said...
Bet he won't be singing that tune if the perpetrator turns out to be black.
Which is one reason why something like this just doesn't bother me. Also, didn't Oberlin just finish a spate of alleged "Klan sightings" which turned out to be false? And, I'd think the NAACP had bigger things to worry about, like the achievement gap and black on black crime, since we already know that no one cares about black on white crime, including the incidences of black on white rape, while there is almost no incidence of the opposite.
Nearly all "hate crimes" are committed by members of the targeted group.
"Hate Crimes" are a fraud, used to generate political support and grant money for left-wing organizations.
OXFORD, Miss. The FBI on Tuesday was helping investigate who tied a noose around the neck of a University of Mississippi statue of James Meredith
The FBI? I am so glad there are no terrorists loose in America and that no gun running, drug dealing, counterfeiting etc, is crossing state lines. Must be boring sitting around with nothing to do for all those FBEYE agents!
An arrest? For what crime? In the absence of damage or any specific threat against specific individuals, there's no crime, unless it's the catchall 'disorderly conduct'.
Just fraternity boys doing a prank.
"I betting: HOAX, perpetrated by leftists to rub salt in old wounds, healed long ago......................"
Looks like someone on the left is trying to mobilize the base for the 2014 elections.
>> $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
This Country is so politically #'d up.
Remove the rope and move on.
Like in Florida during the 2000 prez election, race groups claimed blacks were being intimidated by the police from going to the polls. They cited police cars in the areas where the polls were to "prove" the police were trying to scare black voters.
So they checked the police reports and found all the police cars in the areas where there were blacks were responding to calls from black residents concerning violent crimes committed in those areas.
That didn't stop fraudsters like Michael Moore from running with the racist-police scam and putting it in his book about the 2000 election. Which one of my Brit in-laws read and took for the truth. I had to explain things to him.
If the perp turns out to be black, would they still prosecute as the act was clearly meant to inflame race relations?
Interesting that the actual 'crime' doesn't matter, but the race of the perpetrator.
Had it been a black hanging white people statues it'd be 'art' and the ACLU would be there to protect their free speech rights.
Shut your food hole naacp. Nobody gives a crap what you say. Hate crime my arse.

Rock Climber Decribes Mt. Lemmon Bee Attack; Stung "Upwards of 1,500 Times," He Says
Robert Mackley spent six days in the hospital after being attacked by bees on a rock-climbing route earlier this month.
Image: Courtesy of Robert Mackley
Robert Mackley was counting the number of bee-sting marks on his hand the other day, just to help the time go by.
He got to 90 on one hand, before he got to the wrist.
The 26-year-old Tucson rock climber is still recuperating from a nightmare-inspiring, August 10 attack by "killer" bees on Mt. Lemmon. He says he was stung about 1,500 times while fixed in place at the top of a popular climbing route.
"I was hoping to get back to work this week," says Mackley, who works as a carpenter when he's not out scaling cliffs. "I don't think that's going to be possible. I'm still pretty weak."

Last week, following news reports that contained sketchy details about what happened -- including one TV news blurb which claimed equipment failure was to blame -- Mackley published his own account of the calamity.
"I'm still covered in bee stings," Mackley says, adding that the stings are like open wounds or embedded cactus needles. The hospital staff tweezed as many as they could.
"Some they pulled out by putting, like, Elmer's Glue on my skin, letting it dry, then peeling it off," he says.
Mackley, his girlfriend, their young child and their two friends, Nick and Jim, had decided to attack an old favorite of Mackley's that fateful afternoon, a route called "Resume Builder." Rated a moderate 5.8 in technical difficulty, it also happened to be the first climbing route that Mackley had ever tackled as a newbie climber several years ago.
Mackley led the near-vertical, 75-foot route and tied into the metal anchors sunk into the rock at the top. Nick went up next, and soon they were both hanging from the gear, feet resting on small ledges.
Soon after Jim had scrambled up, Mackley says, the bees arrived, buzzing loudly, and began their surprise attack.
Mackley lowered the man he had just belayed. That was the easy part -- which was why Jim ended up with "only" about 100 stings. Then Mackley had to slam an ATC device (see picture at right) onto the dangling rope for Nick, who had never rappelled before. Five minutes later, Nick was down -- with about 400 stings.
Unfortunately for Mackley, he had sort of over-tied himself into the anchors at the top of route, given the situation. He'd expected to hang there for a while, showing Nick the ropes, and in the attack the two knots he'd tied through the anchors and into his climbing harness had cinched tight.
Suddenly, his life seemed to depend on untying a figure-eight knot and a clove hitch. But he couldn't do it. Minutes later, his hands were too swollen and numb to even try. He had to hang there and take it.
Rescuers got Mackley down a couple of hours later.
Things we're considering for our next climbing trip: Bee suit. Can of Raid. Parachute.

'Jumping the Broom' sells reunion short
"Jumping the Broom" is being sold as a big-screen romance, but it's really a battle royale. But at least it gets Angela Bassett and Loretta Devine back together.
Sixteen years ago, in "Waiting to Exhale," Bassett and Devine played longtime friends navigating their way through broken marriages and the dating scene. In "Jumping the Broom," they play feuding future in-laws from opposite sides of the socioeconomic tracks.
Fed up with the dating scene, Sabrina Watson (Paula Patton) makes a vow to God that she'll remain celibate until she meets and marries her Mr. Right.
Soon thereafter, she literally runs into him: up-and-coming Wall Street banker Jason Taylor (Laz Alonso). Six months into their whirlwind romance, Jason proposes. Of course, Sabrina accepts, and they jump into preparations for a lavish ceremony that Sabrina's D.C. socialite parents, Claudine and Gregory Watson (Bassett, Brian Stokes Mitchell) plan to throw at their compound in Martha's Vineyard.
While Jason has met Sabrina's family, she hasn't met his blue-collar clan. Jason's mother, Pam (Devine), is a veteran postal worker with "resolved" anger management issues. In fact, Pam is holding on by a thread, and dismayed by the lack of contact she's had with the woman her son intends to marry.
When the families finally meet, Pam wastes little time letting her feelings be known. Claudine eventually returns fire, and soon Jason and Sabrina are going at it as well.
As great as it is to see both Bassett and Devine headlining a film, they are saddled with stereotypical characters - the uptown snob vs. the downtown sistah - that neither seems completely at home inhabiting.
Patton and Alonso look the part of a gorgeous, upwardly mobile couple but otherwise don't have much to do. Interesting subplots involving a romance between the wedding banquet chef (Gary Dourdan) and a bridesmaid (Meagan Good), and the May-December flirtation between a college student (current "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Romeo Miller) and Pam's best friend Shonda (a scene-stealing Tasha Smith) aren't sufficiently developed, but are still more interesting than the one at the heart of the film.

Sanders leading Senate push against postal cuts
MONTPELIER Vermonts Bernie Sanders and two other U.S. Senators are leading a push for a one-year moratorium on service cuts proposed by the U.S. Postal Service.
Sanders says Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has proposed to close up to 82 mail processing plants, slow mail service and eliminate up to 15,000 jobs.
Sanders joined Sens. Jon Tester of Montana and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin in writing a letter to the two top members of the Senate Appropriations Committee to request the moratorium.
They say both the service cuts and the loss of 15,000 middle-class postal jobs will be bad for the economy. Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, was one of the 49 senators who signed the letter.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER More than 2,000 young adults might have wrongly stayed on the states health...

It currently takes up his side of the garage and he likes to drive it during tractor rides at the local county fairs. I made this album of pictures with him and his tractor.

Diego Lucescommented on a video on YouTube.
So much has been talked about the hatred by opposition leaders. Some have been jailed because of that. But how about the hatred by government officials? Nothing ever happened to Chávez, Maduro, Cabello, and the many other government officials that insult the opposition (half the country as shown by the presidential election results) and its leaders on a daily basis. "Escuálidos", "fascists" are only some of the insults. Nothing happened to the congressmen that attacked María Corina Machado during a session of the National Assembly. How can the opposition believe in the call for peace that the government does?
Great that Rodrigo asked the Consul General to expand on the issue about the arrested students, but the Consul General never really said if that's true or not, neither did she answer the most important questions around the issue: How many students have been arrested? On what circumstances were they arrested? What are they being charged for? Instead, she just articulated the same official discourse that we've heard lots of times already. Maybe next time a more precise question can be asked so that she has to give real information and not just more propaganda.
They had talked about the fake images used by the opposition already when Rodrigo asked the Consul General about that again. She cleverly used that opportunity to expand on her political propaganda. But still, it's sad and really bad that some people from the opposition distributed fake images showing policemen using excessive force against protesters. But that does not mean that there is not a lot of real footage of the abuses by the GNB. It's false to say that the GNB has acted wrong in all cases or right in all cases. Furthermore, the government should not just blindly defend the GNB, but investigate all those cases in which excessive and unnecessary force has been used against protesters.
I respect that the Consul General admitted the HUGE issue around insecurity in Venezuela. It's good that measures are being taken. Now, how effective have those measures been? The homicide rate has more than doubled since Chávez took office in 1999, according to the UNODC. I would love to cite a government source, but they stopped publishing these numbers 10 years ago. How will they measure the success or failure of the measures taken against criminal activity?
I'm going to be honest, it seems to me that this was an open space for the Consul General to promote the official take on the issues. There was no real questioning, there was just lot of political propaganda. It'd be awesome if next time some tough questions are asked. Also, you guys should interview opposition leaders as well, giving them the same opportunity that you have given the Venezuelan government. A great deal of the Venezuelan community here in Edmonton opposes the government, so hopefully Programa Nosotros can take them into account. After all, there must be a reason why HALF the country opposes the government and why so many (poor and rich, leftists and rightist) have been protesting for more than a month, right?

This is a good vise for the money. It's a bench vise so it doesn't have to be inovative or fancy to do it's job well. I use it often for holding aluminum or copper hose ends so I picked up a pair of soft jaws for mine.
