PITTSBURGH -- Jarome Iginla is nothing if not a realist. He knows pretty much everyone in Boston hates him, and certainly anyone else with a passing interest in the Boston Bruins is not a big fan, either.
He's OK with that.
"I don't expect them to be cheering for me. I understand. It's part of the sport, it's part of the rivalry. I can understand why the fans wouldn't be thrilled," the Pittsburgh Penguins winger told a group of reporters gathered around his dressing room stall Friday.
That Iginla is one of the most respected figures in hockey is a given.
That he remains one of the most positive, upbeat guys in the game despite the fact he's closing in on 36 years of age also is undeniable.
Even though he has been asked over and over since the Eastern Conference finals was set, pitting his Penguins against the team to which he was once thought to be headed, the Iginla grin has remained firmly in place.
That doesn't mean he won't be all business once the puck drops on Game 1 Saturday night at CONSOL Energy Center.
"I think a lot of people would guess, myself included, that it was a good possibility we would be having to beat the Bruins to get to the finals," Iginla said. "It's exciting. It's great to be here. It's a good challenge. They're a very competitive team, as we are, and very determined.
"It's been a long layoff and lots of talking about this stuff, so it'll be nice to just get playing. I'm sure there's going to be other storylines."
From that point on, first with a late-season game in Boston during which Nathan Horton inexplicably challenged Iginla to fight and then with the anticipation that the clubs might meet in the playoffs, the Iginla/Boston storyline has remained ripe fruit.
How could it not?
As much as Iginla insists there was no disrespect intended -- and that from his vantage point there was never a deal agreed to with the Bruins -- the bottom line is Iginla made a choice between the two teams.
And in making the choice, he implied that he did not believe in the Bruins. Or rather, that he did not believe in them enough. He chose the Penguins because he felt they gave him the best chance to win a long-awaited Stanley Cup and the best chance to be a good fit. Better than whatever opportunities the Bruins offered.
No matter how gracious and diplomatic Iginla is, that stings. And if the sting has lessened or been pushed away for the players involved, it still resonates with a proud fan base.
"We didn't have any say in it," Boston defenseman Adam McQuaid offered. "It was his choice.
"He's played for a long time, and he was in a position to make that decision, and he made the decision he felt was best for him."
As for motivation, there are plenty of reasons to want to be at your best as a player at this stage of the season, with or without the Iginla factor.
"There's no shortage of reasons to get up for games right now," McQuaid said.
With his choice about to be put to the ultimate test, Iginla reiterated Friday that he has no regrets. He's a fixture on the Penguins' smoking-hot power play and has 12 points in 11 postseason games as he pursues his first Stanley Cup championship.
"I think it's been probably a better experience than I thought," Iginla said. "You don't really know what to expect, never being through it before. Right from day one coming in, I was a little antsy, for sure, but the guys [have] been great.
"We've had some success at the end of the regular season. [The Penguins] had success as a group before a lot of us got here, but we were able to come and fit in and be part of that."
For the most part, Iginla has been playing with goal machines James Neal and Evgeni Malkin. That he and veteran winger Brenden Morrow, another team captain acquired at the trade deadline, are chasing their first championships is another dynamic that adds to the Penguins' identity.
"That's a positive, I think, that they're chasing that and that's their goal and they've accepted the role that they've been asked to do and they've done it well," Penguins GM Ray Shero said Friday.
Shero said he didn't know Iginla before the trade but has been impressed by how well he's fit in with the team.
Sidney Crosby echoed those sentiments, saying the late-season additions -- including Iginla -- have made it easy because of their personalities.
"I think the way our team is and the people that we added, it was so easy," Crosby told ESPN.com. "They're great guys; they bring so much to a room.
"I don't think anybody's trying to be anyone they're not, so I think it makes it a lot easier, and I think our team welcomed those guys with open arms, and I think those guys were really happy and really motivated to be here."
Iginla's transition might have been the most dramatic.
He's gone from being the face of the franchise for the Calgary Flames, for which he had played his entire NHL career, to being simply another face in a locker room full of distinct visages.
He's gone from being the person who answered on a daily basis for a big-time Canadian franchise (he became Flames captain in 2003) to a guy who simply looks over his shoulder and marvels at Crosby as the Pens' captain is swarmed every day by dozens of reporters.
"It's been fun. On the one side, growing up in Calgary and getting to be captain's a huge honor. I loved it. It was fun. But this is a nice change, too," he said, glancing toward Crosby, who had disappeared behind a phalanx of cameras and microphones and notebooks.
"As far as interviews after practices and games, I can see Sid does more, and some of the other guys do more, and I don't mind that."
If his off-ice responsibilities have shifted, so too have his on-ice duties. No longer is he expected to be the catalyst on offense, as he was for many seasons in Calgary. Now, he is one of a significant arsenal.
"You can kind of share that pressure," he said. "On the bench and next shift, it's fun to watch. When you're on the bench and pulling for the guys, and when you go out, you still [feel] that pressure to try and contribute and stuff, but you definitely share it as a group."
Starting Saturday night, we'll begin to learn whether all that good will and good feeling will prove, in the end, that Iginla made the right choice.

While aging clearly has protean biological effects on every organ system, the differential effects of aging in women and men in the retrobulbar vasculature, to our knowledge, have never been investigated. Because glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are closely linked to advanced age, we performed a cross-sectional study using color Doppler imaging of 4 retrobulbar vessels in both healthy women and men.
To define the influence of aging per se on ocular hemodynamics.
Women (n = 73) and men (n = 55), aged from 20 to 90 years, free of ocular and systemic disease, and with normal intraocular pressure, were recruited for this study. Postmenopausal women who were not receiving estrogen replacement therapy were also recruited. Studies involved color Doppler imaging analysis of the ophthalmic, central retinal, and nasal and temporal posterior ciliary arteries. Ophthalmic arterial peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities and a Pourcelot resistance index were determined for each vessel.
In both sexes, ophthalmic arterial end-diastolic velocity decreased and the Pourcelot resistance index rose with advancing age (each P<.001); peak systolic velocity in the ophthalmic vessel was age-independent. In contrast, central retinal arterial flow velocities were unaffected by age in both sexes. In the posterior ciliary arteries, in men, flow velocities and the Pourcelot resistance index were independent of age. However, in women, end-diastolic velocity decreased with age in both the nasal and temporal posterior ciliary vessel (each P<.05); peak systolic velocity was constant; the Pourcelot resistance index in each ciliary artery rose with advancing age (each P<.05).
In healthy women and men, aging-induced changes in retrobulbar hemodynamics are comparable to alterations seen in patients with glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration, suggesting that vascular changes with senescence may contribute to increased risk for these diseases in older age.
AGING INEVITABLY causes widespread physiological declines that reduce functional capacities and increase susceptibility to disease.1 These declines necessarily include many alterations within the eye. For example, aging reduces aqueous inflow and outflow,2 lessens the mobility of the ciliary muscle,3 decreases the optical performance of the eye,4 and slowly enlarges the cup and thins the neuroretinal rim.5,6 The result of these multiple effects of aging on the eye is to concentrate diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) within older age groups.7 However, the specific link between a given aging-induced decline and disease initiation remains obscure for many ocular illnesses.
Both glaucoma and AMD are rare in younger persons and quite common in the seventh and eighth decades of life. Nevertheless, the mechanisms accounting for either of these illnesses at any age remain incompletely described, and the age-linked factors that increase disease risk in senescence remain unexplored. For example, although elevated intraocular pressure is clearly a major risk factor for glaucoma, many patients develop glaucomatous optic nerve head damage in normal or pharmacologically controlled intraocular pressure, and intraocular pressure itself is largely independent of age.2 Similarly, both the cause of AMD, and the age-dependent factors that influence this cause, remain poorly detailed.8 While investigators have traditionally believed that senescence of the retinal pigment epithelium leads to cellular engorgement and drusen formation,9 others postulate an alternative theory involving primary vascular changes in the choroid.10
Both glaucoma and AMD are associated with evidence for increased vascular resistance within the ophthalmic, central retinal, or short posterior ciliary arterial watersheds.11- 13 Because aging is associated with gradual reductions in blood flow to many distal organs, including the brain,14 it is possible that subclinical declines in ocular perfusion increase susceptibility to these diseases in senescence. Along this line, there is increasing evidence that estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women exerts salutary vasodilatory effects in a number of vascular beds.15 Although the effects of age and estrogen replacement therapy on ocular disease in women are not well defined, there is preliminary evidence that early menopause may be associated with increased risk for glaucoma.16 While several other studies have examined the influence of age on retrobulbar vascular flow velocities,17- 19 in these experiments we specifically compared the age-dependence of these flow velocities in healthy men and in healthy women not receiving estrogen replacement therapy. If the normal hemodynamic changes with aging, indeed, facilitate glaucoma or AMD development in either women or men, then healthy older persons should exhibit blood flow and vascular resistance changes similar to those seen in younger diseased individuals.
Healthy persons of both sexes, with no history of ocular illness or ocular trauma, were recruited for this study. Subjects did not have diabetes mellitus, heart disease, ocular or systemic hypertension, or cancer. None were taking topical or systemic medications or receiving hormonal therapy for any of these illnesses. Postmenopausal women were not receiving estrogen replacement therapy. Subjects signed informed consent to procedures that had been reviewed and approved by an institutional review board. All procedures conformed to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki. Subjects were studied on a single occasion in the laboratory.
Heart rate was measured by palpation of the radial pulse; blood pressure was measured using sphygmomanometry. Flow velocities in the retrobulbar vasculature were determined using color Doppler imaging.
Color Doppler imaging is an ultrasound technique that combines b-scan gray-scale imaging of tissue structure with colored representation of blood movement toward or away from the sensor based on Doppler shifted frequencies and pulsed-Doppler measurement of blood velocities. Blood velocities were measured in the ophthalmic, central retinal, and nasal and temporal posterior ciliary arteries.
A color Doppler imaging system (Siemens Quantum 2000; Siemens Quantum, Issaquah, Wash) with a 7.5-MHz linear probe was used. Samples of pulsed-Doppler signal from within a 0.2 × 0.2-mm sample volume were analyzed to calculate blood velocities. In each vessel, peak systolic (PSV) and end-diastolic (EDV) velocities were determined, and a Pourcelot resistance index [(PSV−EDV)/PSV] was calculated.11,12 The ophthalmic artery is localized approximately 25 mm behind the globe, while the central retinal vessel is detected within the anterior portion of the optic nerve about 3 mm behind the surface of the optic disc. Typically, neither the ophthalmic nor the central retinal arteries require angle corrections. The nasal and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries are detected immediately nasal and temporal to the optic nerve head shadow, at a depth similar to the central retinal artery.
Because of their small size, it is not always possible to resolve individual posterior ciliary vessels, although the velocity spectra from these arteries are easily distinguished from the ophthalmic or central retinal artery.11- 13,17,18 Angle corrections were performed in measurements from the posterior ciliary vessels. During testing, subjects reclined in a chair as acoustic coupling gel was placed over a closed right eye and the probe gently positioned. After identification of the appropriate vessel, the sample volume was placed in the center of the vessel, the angle of incidence was selected, and several seconds of Doppler waveform were recorded.
The dependence of flow velocities on age was determined by using least-squares linear regression, with P<.05 regarded as statistically significant for the slope of the best-fit line.
The subject characteristics (mean age, age distribution, age range, and arterial blood pressure) are listed in Table 1. Diastolic blood pressure did not correlate with age in either sex; systolic blood pressure correlated with age only in women (r = 0.35, P<.01).
The ophthalmic arterial PSV was uncorrelated with age in either sex (Table 2). In contrast, EDV decreased with age in both sexes (each P<.001; Table 2). Estimates based on the coefficient of determination (r2) suggest that 30% of the population variation in ophthalmic arterial EDV arises from aging effects in women, and 12% of that variation is caused by age in men (Table 2). Because EDV decreased with age in both sexes at constant PSV, the derived Pourcelot resistance index rose steadily with age in both sexes (each P<.001; Table 2 and Figure 1). Coefficient of determination (r2) analysis again found substantial contributions from age to the population variation in the ophthalmic artery Pourcelot resistance index, the estimate proportion being 26% in men and 50% in women (Table 2).
Ophthalmic arterial Pourcelot resistance index [(peak systolic velocity minus end-diastolic velocity) divided by peak systolic velocity) in women and men as a function of age. In both sexes, the Pourcelot resistance index rose significantly with advancing age (P<.001).
In contrast to results seen in the ophthalmic artery, in neither sex were PSV, EDV, or Pourcelot resistance index in the central retinal artery dependent on age (Table 2 and Figure 2).
Central retinal arterial Pourcelot resistance index in women and men as a function of age. In both sexes, the Pourcelot resistance index was independent of age.
A third pattern of response, distinct from results observed in the ophthalmic and central retinal arteries, was seen in the nasal and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries. In these vessels, men showed no correlation of any Doppler index with age (Table 2 and Figure 3). In contrast, in women, EDV in each posterior ciliary artery decreased with advancing age (each P<.05; Table 2). In addition, the Pourcelot resistance indexes in both the nasal and temporal posterior ciliary arteries rose with increasing age (Table 2 and Figure 3).
Nasal posterior ciliary arterial Pourcelot resistance index in women and men as a function of age. In women, the Pourcelot resistance index rose with advancing age (P2 = .005). In men, there was no correlation of the Pourcelot resistance index with age.
In this cross-sectional study, we found that ophthalmic arterial EDV decreased with advancing age at constant PSV, producing a rise in the Pourcelot resistance index in both sexes. In contrast, no effects of senescence were noted on flow velocities measured in the central retinal artery. Finally, in the nasal and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries, both sexes showed different responses with advancing age. In men, flow velocities in these small arteries were independent of age. In contrast, in women not receiving estrogen replacement therapy, older age was sociated with a reduced EDV, constant PSV, and an elevated Pourcelot resistance index in both short posterior ciliary vessels.
Noninvasive color Doppler imaging measurements necessarily involve indirect signal interpretation.20 Nevertheless, a number of in vitro and in vivo comparisons of Doppler flow velocities with direct measurements of total blood flow and vascular resistance have resulted in consensus interpretations of selected aspects of Doppler information.20- 22 Specifically, reduced EDV at constant PSV, resulting in increased Pourcelot resistance index, has been shown in both anesthetized dogs and in in vitro cardiovascular models to result from elevated vascular resistance downstream from the arterial measurement site.20- 22
Aging, via reductions in growth hormone and insulinlike growth factors, increases vascular resistance by an absolute loss of arterioles, reduction of distensibility within the remaining vessels, and compromise of endothelium-dependent vascular relaxant mechanisms.23,24 Previous whole-population studies consistently find age-linked flow velocity reductions and Pourcelot resistance index elevations in the short posterior ciliary arteries.17,18 Comparable retrobulbar hemodynamic changes are found in patients with glaucoma and AMD.10,11 In this study, analogous results were restricted to women. Because the women in this study were not receiving estrogen replacement therapy, it is possible that declining estrogen levels with age contributed to these results. Women, more than men, lose cerebral vasoreactivity with age25; estrogen replacement therapy blunts this loss of responsivity25 and mitigates age-linked changes in arterial structure and distensibility.26 However, the current cross-sectional results are indirect and preliminary: direct comparisons of women receiving and not receiving estrogen replacement therapy will be required to fully define the role that estrogen may play in the regulation of ocular hemodynamics and in the prevention or mitigation of ocular disease.
Studies of both normal-tension and primary open-angle glaucoma, and of AMD, characteristically find reduced flow velocities and increased ophthalmic arterial Pourcelot resistance indexes.11- 13,27 While previous aging studies emphasize changes in PSV or EDV in the ophthalmic artery, at an unchanged Pourcelot resistance index,17,19 our results find reductions in ophthalmic arterial EDV and increases in the Pourcelot resistance index with advancing age in both sexes. Analogous vascular resistance rises in the ophthalmic arterial watershed are found in aging rats.23 The similar effects of aging and disease, independent of sex, suggest that increased vascular resistance distal to the ophthalmic artery occurring as a normal consequence of aging could be one factor predisposing to glaucoma and/or AMD in older age groups.
While we found evidence for rising resistance distal to the ophthalmic artery, flow velocities in the central retinal artery were independent of age in both sexes in our study. Other studies have found variously that aging is associated with reduced bulk retinal flow,28 constant retinal flow despite elevated perfusion pressure,29 or that aging and atherosclerosis render the monkey retina susceptible to ischemia.30 Other cross-sectional studies using color Doppler imaging have been equally conflicting, finding either an unchanged or increased central retinal arterial resistance index with advancing age.17- 19 Our result, obtained from healthy individuals free from systemic or ocular hypertension, suggests that the effect of aging per se on central retinal arterial hemodynamics is small. It is unclear why aging-induced increases in the Pourcelot resistance index, so apparent in the ophthalmic artery, are absent in the central retinal vessel.
In summary, because our results were obtained from a healthy cohort characterized by normal intraocular and systemic arterial pressure, they capture the effects of uncomplicated aging on retrobulbar hemodynamics in both sexes. Our findings imply that vascular factors may play a role in the increased susceptibility to glaucoma and AMD seen in both sexes in senescence.

State of Euphoria
Massachusetts Miracle Mom Kathy Betts Finds $489 Million and Solves Her State's Budget Crisis
There is no overstating what Betts accomplished. According to one grim scenario, the state would have been forced to borrow heavily and hike taxes if she hadn't come up with the money. Betts has been praised wherever she goes by grateful citizens, and Governor Weld is no less effusive. "She hit the ball out of the park," he declared, and he promised Betts a $10,000 bonus, even if he had to pay it out of his own pocket. But the most heartfelt congratulations came from Betts's daughter, Brooks, who made up a sign that said, YOU ARE A STAR.
The federal government was less enthusiastic. "The feds went down kicking and screaming," said Betts, who maintains she wasn't exploiting loopholes, merely getting money to which her state was entitled—and which is needed to maintain vital services. "This money is used to pay hospitals for free care, for people who have no health insurance," says Betts.
Betts inherited her love of public service from her parents. Her mother, Rita, was a social worker before quitting to raise Kathy and two sons. Her father, James, worked for the welfare department in New Bedford, Mass., for 25 years. "We'd get calls at home and on weekends and holidays," recalls Betts. "Someone would be without food or housing, and he'd go out to take care of it." At Boston College, Betts got her degree in sociology and psychology and met her future husband, James, now 38 and a bank examiner for the Federal Reserve in Boston.
In the wake of her triumph, Betts has no plans to go full-time at the welfare department, preferring to share her job with another woman so that she can spend more time with her family. What if another state tried to lure Betts away to work her magic there? "Over my dead body!" declared Governor Weld. "They'd never take her alive."

hmm, if there isn't a way to bypass the ADC and the DAC and just use the unit as an AMP that would be minus a point in my books. More importantly, the fact that the volume is not analog would be a deal-breaker for me! That would mean that lowering the volume means reducing the dynamic range. Can someone confirm this? Suddenly it's looking less promising to me.

In today's TV Picks, a fond farewell on "Community," an absurd look back at a classic '80s sitcom, a new take on the "House" formula on FOX, and a bunch of nerds compete in one of TV's best game shows.
Let's go to the bullets:
- "Community" (7 p.m. on NBC, cable channel 5): Abed (Danny Pudi) plans a goodbye party for Troy (Donald Glover, who's leaving to concentrate on his music career) that sounds like it's going to be in the vein of the series' outstanding paintball-wars episodes.
- "The Vampire Diaries" (7 p.m. on The CW, cable channel 11): The series marks its 100th episode with flashbacks over Katherine's (Nina Dobrev) long life as her health craters.
- "The Taste" (7 p.m. on ABC, cable channel 8): The 12 remaining chefs tackle street-food favorites.
- "American Idol" (7 p.m. on FOX, cable channel 13): Auditions continue.
- "Parks and Recreation" (7:30 p.m. on NBC): Leslie and Ben (Amy Poehler and Adam Scott) have a work-related spat over ethics, while April (Aubrey Plaza) helps Andy (Chris Pratt) in a new project.
- "Rake" (8 p.m. on FOX): Greg Kinnear stars in this new legal show that's very much in the style of "House" and other shows fronted by ethically questionable jerks. Kinnear, as always, is terrifically watchable, but the show is definitely still finding itself in tonight's premiere. There's potential, perhaps, but are "House"-style shows still popular enough to give this show time to even out?
- "The Michael J. Fox Show" (8 p.m. on NBC): Fox's struggling show tries a new time slot in time for his character to do battle with workplace rival Susan (Anne Heche) to cover the Sochi Olympics.
- "Under the Gunn" (8 p.m. on Lifetime, cable channel 29): The remaining designers compete for a slot on the three teams.
- "White Collar" (8 p.m. on USA, cable channel 25): Peter (Tim DeKay, who directed the episode) calls in Diane (Marsha Thomason) from her maternity leave to take down a crooked stockbroker.
- "Sean Saves the World" (8:30 p.m. on NBC): Liz and Lorna (Megan Hilty and Linda Lavin) team up to tank Sean's (Sean Hayes) date with an ex.
- "King of the Nerds" (9 p.m. on TBS, cable channel 24): Last year's surprisingly fun game show that pits a variety of top geeks against each other returns with a new batch, including a Pokemon expert, various scientists and mathematicians and a "Japanophile." It looks to be another successful season; the casting on the show is positively superb.
- "Parenthood" (9 p.m. on NBC): Joel and Julia (Sam Jaeger and Erika Christensen) tell the kids about their separation. Grab the tissues.
- "The Greatest Event in Television 4" (10:59 p.m on Cartoon Network, cable channel 52): These delightfully absurd events actually do live up to their name, with Adam Scott ("Parks and Recreation") and an assortment of comedy greats meticulously and ridiculously reenacting the opening credits of old-school TV hits ("Simon & Simon," "Hart to Hart" and "Too Close for Comfort" so far). Tonight, it looks like Scott and Paul Rudd will be taking on "Bosom Buddies." Check out the embedded video for the "Hart to Hart" episode.
So, what are you watching?

If it was hard for Jamaal Jackson to watch the Dallas Cowboys embarrass the Eagles' offensive line at the end of last season - and it was - then this is even harder.
In those back-to-back losses, the second a playoff game, Jackson was recovering from surgery to repair the knee ligament he tore on Dec. 27. There was nothing he could do but watch in the same horror as thousands of other Eagles fans.
But now? Jackson has watched through training camp and the preseason as his mates on the offensive line have worked to develop chemistry in front of new starting quarterback Kevin Kolb. Things have not gone smoothly, leading to a general sense of unease as time runs out to prepare for the regular-season opener against Green Bay.

This is one of my most favorite books ever. I just love all the stories of King Arthur and Merlin. I read this a while ago, but I can still remember my favorite parts.
I felt the story flowed along quite nicely and the characters were all engaging. There might be better King Arthur novels, but this one is still my favorite!
I've just finished reading this, my first reading and I'm nearly 65 years old. I find it a bit trite, which may be unfair because what has become trite is what other writers have done with White's own vision. Perhaps if I'd read this fifty years ago my feelings might be more favorable. No way comparable to The Mists of Avalon, but I guess I prefer more imaginative retellings like Marion Zimmer Bradley's.
The Once and Future King was first published in 1958, and is mostly a composite of earlier works written between 1938 and 1941. The central theme is an exploration of human nature regarding power and justice, as the boy Arthur becomes king and attempts to quell the prevalent "might makes right" attitude with his idea of chivalry. But in the end, even chivalry comes undone since its justice is maintained by force.
The title comes from the inscription that, according to Sir Thomas Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur, was written upon King Arthur's tomb: Hic iacet Arthurus, rex quondam, rexque futurus – "Here lies Arthur, king once, and king to be.
Most of the book takes place in "Gramarye", the name White gives to Britain, and chronicles the raising and educating of King Arthur, his rule as a king, and the romance between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guenever. Though Arthur, if he existed at all, would have ruled some time around the 6th century, the book is set around the 14th century, and the actual monarchs of that period are referred to as "mythical". The book ends immediately before Arthur's final battle against his illegitimate son Mordred. Though White admits his book's source material is loosely derived from Le Morte d'Arthur, he reinterprets the epic events, filling them with renewed meaning for a world recovering from World War II.
The book is divided into four parts:
The Sword in the Stone (1938)
The Queen of Air and Darkness (1939)
The Ill-Made Knight (1940)
The Candle in the Wind (1958)
A final part, called The Book of Merlyn (written 1941, published 1977), was published separately following White's death. It chronicles Arthur's final lessons from Merlyn before his death, although some parts of it were incorporated into the final editions of the previous books.
Young "Wart" is the adopted son of a minor nobleman when he meets Merlyn, a kindly magician, who takes him on many adventures, turning him into several different animals and teaching him skills, both mental and physical. Wart is very happy and learns to treat people with respect and kindness. Soon after ,Wart pulls a magical sword from a stone, which proves him to be the rightful king of England (his real father was the recently dead King.) Merlyn, who knew this from the start, advises Wart-now called Arthur-on how to be a good king. What Arthur really wants to do is end chaos that passes for law in his country. He wants his men-the knights of the round table-to help defenseless people and prevent the rich and strong from simply dominating everyone. Many young knights love the idea and admire Arthur. Lancelot, who becomes the best knight in the world, and Arthur's best friend, still wrestles with self-doubt. Soon after he comes to court, he falls in love with Arthur's wife, Guenever. Arthur knows they are having an affair subconsciously, but he wants to pretend it isn't happening, so the three are able to live in relative harmony for many years.
Arthur builds the Round Table into a predictable form of justice. Other prominent knights include the brothers of the Orkney clan, sons of the witch Morgause, Arthur's half-sister. Their names are Gawaine, Gaheris, Agravaine, Gareth and Mordred. These men are close-knit and hot-tempered. They love Arthur but come from a family that has always hated England, and the youngest, Mordred, is in a dangerous position. He is actually the son of Arthur and Morgause (she seduced her half-brother when he was young and vulnerable.) Since he is younger and has a different father from his brothers, Mordred feels out of place and hated by everyone around him, and he is angry and looking for revenge. Since Guenever has never had children, Mordred is Arthur's only offspring and therefore could become king if he can upset the court. He sees his chance with Guenever and Lancelot.
Mordred knows that because Arthur is just, he will not be able to avoid punishing an illegal act (adultery and treason), even if it involves his best friends. Though both Lancelot and Guenever love Arthur, they themselves are so in love that they cannot stay apart. Lancelot is tormented by guilt, always trying to do the right thing, believing that he must punish himself, but never finding the strength to end the affair. Finally, Mordred forces Arthur to recognize their affair, and once it is recognized, Arthur has no choice but to prosecute his wife and his best friend. The court begins to crumble as everyone is forced to take sides. Arthur's peaceful vision is undermined by Mordred's schemes. Lancelot kills Gareth, Gaheris and Agravaine, only because he has to, but Mordred convinces Gawaine it is because Lancelot has always hated their family. Gawaine swears he will never forgive Lancelot and makes sure Arthur will not either. Arthur leaves the castle, forced to fight Lancelot in France, and Mordred convinces the public he is dead, forcing Guenever to accept his marriage proposal.
At this point Arthur is very old, but he still remembers his original vision of brotherhood, for a time realized with the Round Table. Listening to the sounds of warfare outside, he brings in a young boy and tells him his story, so that it will not be forgotten. Arthur recognizes that he must die and is at peace with this, knowing that his ideas for law and justice will return. The story pulls backward, explaining that each person's fate is one drop in the ocean of life. Lancelot and Guenever become a priest and nun, and Mordred is killed. But the vision lives on: Arthur is the "once and future king."
What a way to end a year. This book is so full of hope and laughter, and then becomes one of sadness and despair, yet its views on humanity and human nature are just as profound as they were when I first read it at age 14.
And now, knowing how anachronistic this re-telling of the tale is, I understand so much more of what White was describing: how the suppression of the Saxons by the Normans was the start of Arthur's kingship, followed by the flowering of the High Middle Ages, and ending all by cannons. I am especially struck by Mordred's twisted spirit, Agravain's mindless focus on his mother (and his own hidden monstrosity), and the pulling of Arthur into his lawfulness and sadness. The principal actors become archetypes in this re-telling, and many tips of the hat are given to Mallory's description of the battles and panoply.
I know, I know, that Arthur was probably an anglicized Roman general, but the depth of feeling and heights of joy and despair just reflect so much better the heights and depths of the Dark and Middle Ages.
Quite possibly the best book written on the Arthurian legend.
It knits together the funny, the moving, the fanciful and the psychologically astute in a rich tapestry of the medieval age of chivalry... Whatever else it is or is not. this is a book of profound patriotic piety which glorifies Arthur as the father of his country, and finds in the childlike wonder and faith of medieval England the crucible of future English greatness.

A revised omnibus edition of White's retelling of Arthurian legends.

The Book of Merlyn, written in 1941, was originally intended as the fifth and final book of the saga. It was first published by the University of Texas Press in 1977 and reissued by Berkley, 1978 (pap.). The whole world knows and loves this book. It is the magical epic of King Arthur and his shining Camelot; of Merlin and Owl and Guinevere; of beasts who talk and men who fly, of wizardry and war. It is the book of all things lost and wonderful and sad. It is the fantasy masterpiece by which all others are judged.… (more)

Exploiting the absence of SEC assists leader Najat Ouardad, Warlick's Lady Vols pressured the ball from the opening tip, causing a flurry of early turnovers that paved the way for an 83-61 Tennessee waltz.
"Today I thought we made a statement on the defensive end," Warlick said.
Apparently, that statement was "No mercy."
Cashing in on seven Tiger turnovers in the opening eight minutes, the Lady Vols hit nine of their first 12 field-goal tries en route to a 26-5 lead. The only suspense thereafter was whether Tennessee would take its foot off the gas and let the Tigers make the final score respectable. That didn't happen.
Meighan Simmons nailed three 3-pointers and a 17-footer during Thursday night's opening salvo. With 11 points and a full 12 minutes left in the first half, she was on pace to score 55 points and the Lady Vols were on track to beat the Tigers, 130-25.
"I started off a lot more energetic than I did the last time we played them (Jan. 17 at Auburn)," Simmons said. "I was a lot more hungry this game."
It showed.
After praising her team's defense, Warlick noted: "I think it started with Meighan. She guarded the ball. We've been trying to harp on her to not be a one-dimensional player, and today she was outstanding."
The opposing coach thought so, too.
"Meighan Simmons is a great player," Auburn's Terri Williams-Flournoy said. "When Meighan Simmons plays defense, she becomes an even better player. I thought she did a really good job defending the point guard."
Apparently so. Unsettled by Simmons' pressure, Auburn's fill-in at point guard, Hasina Muhammad, compiled a first-half stat line that showed 1-of-7 shooting and 4 turnovers.
"I thought Tennessee came out and played extremely well in the first half," Williams-Flournoy said. "We didn't look very much under control. I think we panicked a little bit."
Seven turnovers in eight minutes suggests she was right.
Tennessee eventually pushed the lead to 26 points (33-7) before cooling off a bit. Auburn made a mild rally but still went to the break with 14 turnovers and a 44-21 deficit.
Simmons ensured that the Lady Vols didn't go flat after intermission, deflecting passes and hitting a couple of quick bank shots in transition to open the second half.
"When my defense is going, the offense comes, and it comes naturally," she said. "I'll continue to work hard on the defensive end."
When she fed Cierra Burdick for a layup that gave Tennessee a 55-32 lead five minutes into the second half, several hundred fans began heading for the exits. They didn't miss much.
Eleventh-ranked Tennessee pushed the lead to 28 points (64-36) on a Taber Spani run-out, bumped it to 29 points (76-47) on a Spani 3-pointer, to 30 points (78-48) on a Bashaara Graves 15-footer and to 31 points (81-50) on a Simmons 3-pointer with 3:36 remaining.
Warlick's merciful side showed through at this point. She emptied her bench, enabling Auburn to close the game on an 11-2 run that produced the final score.
Tennessee shot 48.4 percent (31 of 64) from the field, 45.0 percent (9 of 20) from 3-point range and 92.3 percent (12 of 13) from the foul line. The Lady Vols also posted a season-high 24 assists. Still, the home team won this game on the defensive end of the floor. Auburn shot just 34.6 percent from the field in the first half and 40.0 percent for the game. Even with Warlick showing some compassion in the second half, the Tigers finished with almost twice as many turnovers (20) as assists (12).
"We've been focusing a lot on the defensive end the past few practices," Simmons said. "I feel like I've been working so hard to try to make defense a priority. I feel like my defense really did dictate my offense. I got early points off the steals."
Warlick wrote one word – "discipline" – on the locker room chalk board prior to the game. Apparently, her players got the message.
"The intensity level was different," Spani said. "We really played disciplined, while being really intense."
Simmons, who burned Auburn for 29 points in a 75-66 Tennessee win last month on The Plains, scored 24 in Thursday's rematch. She also pulled down 7 rebounds, dished out 4 assists and made 5 steals.
Spani drained 4 of 5 shots from 3 en route to 16 points. Burdick added a double-double – 15 points and 13 rebounds – later noting that the performance provided a "sigh of relief" and perhaps "a stepping stone for me."
Graves finished with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Ariel Massengale posted a double-double, contributing 10 points and 10 assists, as all five starters scored in double figures.
"When it's hard to pick a player of the game, you understand it's been a great team effort," Warlick noted after watching her team improve to 21-5 overall and 12-1 in SEC play.
Tyrese Tanner scored 20 points and Blanche Alverson 15 for Auburn, which slips to 14-12 and 3-10.
Tennessee freshman Jasmine Jones was held out of the second half after taking a shot to the nose just shy of intermission. Warlick called the move a "precaution," adding: "I think she's fine but I'm sure they'll evaluate her tomorrow, and the doctors will look at her, as well."

Pro Football Hall of Famer Darrell Green knows a great cover cornerback when he sees one, and he thinks he sees one wearing No. 29 for the Arizona Cardinals.
As endorsements go, this one trumps anything the Cardinals or anyone else might offer for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, the player Arizona coaches and players call "DRC."
"I think he's going to be one of the great ones for a long time," Green said by phone Wednesday.
Green would know. A seven-time Pro Bowl choice in 20 seasons with the Washington Redskins, he first worked with Rodgers-Cromartie before the lithe young cornerback's senior season at Tennessee State. Green's close friend and former Redskins teammate, Tim Johnson, grew up with Rodgers-Cromartie's father, Stanley Cromartie. The connection helped lead Rodgers-Cromartie to the training sessions Green holds for aspiring corners.
"My philosophy in training these kids is to help them understand the man-to-man concepts and develop the skills, the feet and the mentality to be able to take on a receiver one-on-one with no help," Green said.
The concept is increasingly foreign in the NFL, where zone schemes such as Cover 2 have become the prescribed remedy for rules changes that have opened up passing games. Few corners have the skills to hold up consistently well in the current environment.
But when the Cardinals drew up their game plan for containing the Carolina Panthers' Steve Smith, arguably the most dynamic receiver in the league, they placed much of the burden on their rookie corner. The luxury helped them contain other aspects of the Panthers' offense, including their third-ranked rushing attack. Smith wasn't a factor until late in the game, after the Cardinals had built a comfortable lead.
Next up for Rodgers-Cromartie: A likely date with the Philadelphia Eagles' DeSean Jackson in the NFC Championship Game. The experience against Smith should help ease any misgivings.
"I'm going to be honest, when I first heard I had Steve Smith, you talk about butterflies -- I had them," Rodgers-Cromartie told reporters Wednesday. "As I watch film on this man, I see him turn a screen into a touchdown, or fighting for deep balls and jumping over guys that are 6-2 or 6-3, I didn't know if I was ready."
The admission seemed paradoxical, for Rodgers-Cromartie is supremely confident in his physical abilities. After practice Wednesday, he renewed a standing offer to challenge any teammate in a 40-yard footrace. There were no takers. Scouts have clocked Rodgers-Cromartie at 4.29 seconds in the 40, the type of time generally associated with smaller, more muscular athletes.
Rodgers-Cromartie stands 6-foot-2. He weighs about 185 pounds. Athletes with frames that long and lean generally lack the explosive traits needed to excel at cornerback.
"This guy was a long, leggy athlete that had a tremendous amount of suddenness to him," said Steve Keim, the Cardinals' director of college scouting. "His downfield speed was rare, to say the least. His ball skills, anticipation and playmaking ability with the ball in his hands is uncanny. Those guys are impossible to find."
The only question in scouts' eyes was whether Rodgers-Cromartie could transfer his game from the NCAA Division I-AA level to the NFL. Rodgers-Cromartie eased those concerns with a strong showing at Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Ala.
The Cardinals drafted him with the 16th overall choice. Defensive backs coach Teryl Austin knew what he had from the beginning, but the plan was to bring along Rodgers-Cromartie slowly at first.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt waited until Week 9 before naming the rookie a starter for good. The approach paid off. Rodgers-Cromartie has picked off six passes in his last nine games, including one in each playoff victory. He returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown against the St. Louis Rams. He set up another return touchdown by blocking a field goal against the Minnesota Vikings.
Rodgers-Cromartie blocked three field goal tries and one extra point attempt during his senior season at Tennessee State. Few possess the quickness and length needed to block extra points from around the edge.
"He is so lightning quick," Keim
said. "His movement on a frame like that is really rare."
The Cardinals' veteran defensive backs have pushed Rodgers-Cromartie to rely upon more than that uncommon athletic ability. Austin, a former defensive back at Pitt, and Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson reportedly challenged the rookie after discovering a notebook heavy on doodle sketches and light on meeting notes.
"He is eager to learn," said Ralph Brown, the Cardinals' veteran nickel corner. "You see the phenomenal things he is doing now, you put one, two, three years under his belt, he is a Pro Bowl corner. He is Pro Bowl-caliber now, I think."
To the point that the Cardinals' Pro Bowl receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, sometimes have trouble against him in practice.
"Larry sometimes has a hard time with Dominique because Dominique can jump just as high as Larry can and there are not too many corners who can jump as high as he can," Brown said. "He is rangy. He can run as fast as anyone on the field and he can jump as high or as far as anyone. It's awesome to watch him as a rookie coming out of a small school. He has the confidence that no one can catch this ball."
Green, honored as part of the most recent Hall of Fame class, was a rookie in 1983 when the Redskins advanced to the Super Bowl. He earned a Pro Bowl berth for the first time the following season.
Can Rodgers-Cromartie do the same?
"You must continue to strive for the moon and that kid has that kind of mentality," Green said. "Champ Bailey has that type of mentality. I had that kind of mentality. That is what is really driving this kid and he is not going to sit on his laurels. That kid will be back on the grind, focusing on strengthening and enhancing what he has."

How to Make a Haunted Terrarium for Halloween
Materials Needed:
- large clear lidded jar (like a cookie jar)
- 1 bag of natural sheet moss
- 1 bag of reindeer moss
- 2-3 small twigs
- black tag board
- white paint pen
- scissors
- fishing line
- white facial tissues
- 1" foam ball
- glue
- miniature fence
- clear gift-wrap tape
- wire snips
- U-shaped floral pin
Create Spooky Landscape
Add a 3-4" layer of sheet moss to the bottom of a large clear, lidded jar (Image 1). Measure the height and width of the inside of the jar. Based on the dimensions, cut the shape of a haunted house out of a piece of black tag board, then use a white paint pen to outline the windows and doors. Insert house into the moss and use clear tape to secure it to the back of the jar (Image 2). Insert twigs into the moss to act as spooky, leafless trees (Image 3).
Create Ghost
Tear a tissue in half and layer the pieces to form a cross, then place a 1" foam ball in the center (Image 1). Gather the tissue around the foam ball and use fishing line to create the ghost's neck by tying a knot around the base of the foam ball. Cut out two black tag board ovals to act as eyes and attach them with glue (Image 2). Shorten the prongs of a U-shaped floral pin with wire snips, then push it into the top of the ghost's head (Image 3). Knot one end of a piece of fishing line around the floral pin (Image 4) and attach the other end to the underside of the jar's lid with clear tape.
Finishing Touches
Push a length of miniature fence into the moss near the front of the jar (Image 1). Add additional texture with clumps of reindeer moss (Image 2), then place lid on top of the jar, adjusting the fishing line's length, if necessary, so the ghost hangs at the right level (Image 3).

Poll: What two fandoms should I use in a crossover? Vote Now!
Author has written 5 stories for Harry Potter, Drop Dead Diva, Fairy Tales, Mythology, Lord of the Rings, and Beauty and the Beast.
Hi! I'm Kelly, a young professional with a B.A. in English and Spanish. I love reading, writing, and playing around with other people's characters. I've been on this site since middle school, so it definitely has a special place in my heart, especially since FF.net is how I first became involved with editing other people's work. Until the organization disbanded, I was a beta for Project Team Beta and even wrote an informational page on verb tenses (my one claim to fame), and it was rewarding to read people's original creative works and help them improve as writers.
I'm a bit of a literary snob; I really dislike bad writing. There is so much good writing out in the universe that it makes sense to read that instead of the garbage that gets published when it shouldn't. Even though fan fiction is a looked-down-upon genre, I try to do all that I can to make it as legitimate as possible. I do research (to an extent) to make sure that my story complies with canon, unless its AU-ness is paramount to the story; I revise my chapters at least a bit before I post them, and I do all that I can to make sure that the story is not only engaging and Mary Sue-less, but well-edited. I'm not perfect, but I try my best, and I do hold myself and my stories to a very high standard.
I just wish the same for my fellow writers. I know we all come to this site with varying ages and levels of experience, but I have seen some atrocious writing out there, and I wish that instead of only giving it praise, more readers and writers would critique other authors and give them valuable feedback. The quality of the writing on this site will NOT improve unless we make it a priority to help the writers improve.

Rating: T Word Count: 50,000 Genre: Romance/Drama Primary Ships: Hermione/Adam, Belle/Draco
A Beauty and the Beast and Harry Potter novel-length crossover. When Hermione finds a magic mirror that leads to 18th century France, she finds herself among brutes, talking candelabras, and uptight clocks. After being discovered as a witch, Hermione is separated from Maurice and flees to a castle where light never shines. With sinister plots underway, Hermione must find Belle's father and reverse the castle's enchantment before all is too late. Meanwhile, Belle, in modern-day Wizarding England, encounters Floo powder, an irascible red-head and a haughty blonde, and both girls must discover, who could ever learn to love a beast?
The Lonely Road of a Fisher's Wife (WIP - 30% complete)
Four years ago, when Krista married Matthew, she never dreamed she'd be penniless and living in her sister's apartment. Or that Matthew would be stupid enough to buy a cottage on the coast of Scotland. A modern and elongated re-telling of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale "The Fisherman and His Wife." ON HIATUS.
A Little Late-Night Rebellion (COMPLETE)
Rating: T Word Count: 2,500 Genre: Romance/Humor Primary Ship: Jane/Grayson
A Drop Dead Diva one-shot. While working late one night at Harrison & Parker, Jane and Grayson decide to cause a little mayhem. Between playing a strip game in Parker's office, eating Chinese takeout while barefoot, and stealing Kim's old rolling chair, working at a law firm has never been so fun.
A Courtly Romance: Sequel to Hermione Granger and the Magic Mirror (WIP - 10% complete)
Rating: T Genre: Drama/Fantasy/Romance
When Isabelle's father, King Adam, decides that she must marry a prince that she doesn't know, she and her mother conspire to send her through a mirror into modern-day Wizarding England. I'm working on the sequel even though I haven't finished the original. Naturally.
Harry Potter and The Little Mermaid Crossover (NOT STARTED)
Rating: ??? Genre: ???
On my profile poll, people have voted that I should do a Harry Potter and The Little Mermaid crossover. I think this would be an interesting challenge since the mermaids in Rowling's world are far different from those in either Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale or in the Disney film. After I finish A Courtly Romance, I'll begin to develop a concept for this. I'm open to suggestions, so if you have ideas, please let me know!

Nelson Mandela and the Methodists, a little preview
Next week on Thursday I will be presenting an academic paper on Nelson Mandela and the Methodists (particularly the Methodist Church of Southern Africa).
I have done lots of interviews, read so much, and even found a few interesting documents (like his Class / Membership card pictured here). He was a remarkable man, was formed by his African Wesleyan roots, but did move beyond 'conventional Christianity' in his later life. Will post more once the paper has been delivered.
The paper was delivered and has been published in the academic journal Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae here.
I am pleased to let all my readers know that this article has been published in the Academic Journal, Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae (SHE). It will appear as one of the articles in the 40th Anniversary edition of the Church Historical Society of South Africa.
Please see the following link for details of the publication. It should be available in September 2014. Here is the abstract:
The death of Nelson Mandela has once again focused the spotlight on his religious convictions and faith affiliation. Numerous academics, journalists, and interested members of faith communities have asked what Mr Mandela's faith perspective was. It is clear that faith played a part in his life and this was evidenced in the events surrounding his death and funeral. Faith leaders, and in particular Christian leaders (such as Bishop Ivan Abrahams, Bishop Zipho Siwa, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu), featured prominently in the public and private events surrounding Mr Mandela's death, memorial service and funeral. Numerous media sources reported that the Mandela family, and Nelson Mandela in particular, were members of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa. The Chaplain General of the African National Congress is an ordained minister of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, which also played some part in the role accorded to the Methodist Church of Southern Africa in the public and private moments of ministry surrounding Mr Mandela's death. This article considers Nelson Mandela's faith biography in order to answer the following questions: Was Nelson Mandela a member of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa? What was his relationship to the church and the Christian faith? What lessons can we learn from this for the relationship between the church and the state in South Africa?
I delivered a version of this paper at the Faculdades EST international conference on Religion and the Media in Brazil on 10 September 2014. You can read some of the paper and see my powerpoint slides here if you are interested.
