S. Y. Agnon 1888-1970
(Born Shmuel Yosef Czaczkes; also transliterated as Josef; wrote under the pseudonym Shmuel Yosef Agnon) Israeli novelist, short story writer, novella writer, editor, and essayist. See also S. Y. Agnon Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism and S. Y. Agnon Contemporary Literary Criticism.
A major twentieth-century author, Agnon was one of two writers to receive the Nobel Prize for literature in 1966. Nevertheless, his international fame has been limited by the fact that he wrote primarily in Hebrew and devoted most of his fiction to the consideration of Judaic history, culture, and language. Yet Agnon's underlying commentary on the plight of the individual in the modern world has universal application, highlighting the growing disintegration of community and spiritual faith and the accompanying spread of secular and materialistic values and cultural rootlessness. Furthermore, his skill as a writer is unquestioned: Agnon is highly regarded for his adroit use of modernist literary techniques and exceptional control of language.
Biographical Information
Agnon was born Shmuel Yosef Czaczkes on July 17, 1888 in the city of Buczacz in Galicia, an historical region of southeastern Poland and western Ukraine. His father, an ordained rabbi and a fur trader by profession, was an Hasidic Jew who exposed his son to rabbinic texts, the Bible, and Talmud and maintained a family library in which his son spent much time. Agnon attended a small local school, studied privately with a teacher, and also received tutelage in German, which enabled him to read European literature in German translation. In 1906 Agnon became an assistant to the publisher of a small Jewish weekly journal; during the next year or so, a number of his poems appeared in that publication. In 1907, at the age of nineteen, he traveled to Palestine, where he stayed for six years, mainly in the city of Jaffa. There he became first secretary of the Jewish court and secretary of the National Jewish Council. Agnon also published several stories in the newspaper Hapo'el Hatzair. The title of one of these, "Agunot" (1908), was adopted—with slight modification—as his pseudonym.
Agnon departed for Berlin in 1913. At this time Germany was a melting pot of sorts. Agnon observed various Jewish groups coming into contact there, and the culture of persecuted Jews who had immigrated from rural villages in eastern Europe stood in stark contrast to that of the comparatively cosmopolitan German Jews and of Zionists (those Jews who called for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine). Agnon was struck by the difference between the Judaism of tradition and that of modern Jews subsumed by secular society. While in Germany, Agnon became friends with the eminent Jewish scholar Gershom Scholem and the businessman Salman Schocken, with whom he shared an interest in old Hebrew books. Schocken served as Agnon's patron, enabling the young author to focus on his writing. Other noted figures with whom Agnon associated while in Germany include the philosopher Martin Buber, the poet Hayyim Bialik, and Ahad Ha'am, a vocal proponent of Zionism. Agnon returned to Palestine in 1924, settling permanently just outside Jerusalem. In 1931 the initial volumes of The Collected Works of S. Y. Agnon were published in Hebrew by Schocken. Agnon continued to live and write in Palestine (officially Israel as of 1948), and eventually became a celebrated figure in his country. In 1966 he received the Nobel Prize along with the German poet and dramatist Nelly Sachs. Agnon died in 1970.
Major Works of Short Fiction
Agnon's stories display striking diversity. His narratives include coming-of-age tales such as "The Kerchief"; magical fables such as "Pisces" and "Buczacz"; unusual love stories such as "Metamorphosis" and "First Kiss"; and accounts of modern alienation such as "A Whole Loaf" and "At the Outset of the Day." Other works, like "The Tale of the Menorah" and "Fernheim," explore the relationship of Judaism to political turmoil and exile. Agnon's stories often have the quality of folk literature and legend but incorporate modern literary techniques and devices such as shifting points of view, wordplay, symbolism, historical allusions, nonlinear narratives, and intermingling of fantasy and reality. Agnon's literary inspiration and allusions are rooted largely in Jewish culture, language, and history. Nitza Ben-Dov has observed that, "Most of Agnon's fictional works are composed of all the many linguistic strata of Hebrew, from the Bible and on through the Mishnah, the Talmud, the midrash, the prayerbook, the medieval Hebrew poets, the rabbinic commentaries, and the Hasidic tales of Eastern Europe." Nonetheless, Agnon was also familiar with the writings of German authors and those of Scandinavian, Russian, and French authors in German translation.
Like Austrian writer Franz Kafka, with whom he is often compared, Agnon occasionally depicted characters rendered ineffectual by vacillation, passivity, or psychological inertia. Employing a version of these themes, "The Face and the Image" tells of a man who is summoned to visit his sick mother but is prevented from doing so by a series of absurd obstacles. Similarly, "To the Doctor" revolves around the device of numerous delays, which in this tale contribute to the death of a sick man. Kafka and Agnon also shared the ability to create surrealistic, dreamlike stories in which the world seems menacing or inhospitable. Agnon's "The Lady and the Pedlar," which contains more atmosphere than plot, is of this mold. As well, many of Agnon's characters, like those of Kafka, suffer from alienation. Nahum N. Glatzer has observed that in Agnon's Kafkaesque stories, "Man is lonely, homeless, in exile; meaning disintegrates, lines of communication break down; there is no exit."
As already suggested, Agnon often focuses on the difficulty of establishing and sustaining relationships. The protagonist of "The Doctor's Divorce" is a doctor (and therefore a man of science trained to rely on reason and objectivity) who cannot dispel the unsubstantiated suspicion that his wife had an affair prior to their marriage. Eventually his inner turmoil brings the marriage to an end, in spite of the doctor's unabating love for his wife. In "The Tale of the Scribe" the main character's holy calling as a scribe of religious texts proves to be incompatible with normal human relationships, or with earthly existence for that matter. The novella Betrothed, which treats the subject of unfulfilled love, tells of a scientist lured away from his betrothed and from Judaism by the temptations of worldliness and modern life.
Critical Reception
Agnon is the most accomplished author of fiction to have written in Hebrew. Commentators have attributed part of the subtlety and complexity of his writing to the capacity of that language. According to David Patterson, "The ancient vocabulary of Hebrew is pregnant with associations of all kinds, and the skillful juxtaposition of words and phrases can be made to yield a variety of nuances. Linguistically, as well as thematically, Agnon's writings can be read at different levels." With regard to many foreign-language authors, scholars have debated whether the art of their writing can be sufficiently conveyed in translation. In the case of Agnon, that question has often taken center stage. Noted author Cynthia Ozick observed that, "For decades, Agnon scholars (and Agnon is a literary industry) have insisted that it is no use trying to get at Agnon in any language other than the original. The idea of Agnon in translation has been repeatedly disparaged; he has been declared inaccessible to the uninitiated even beyond the usual truisms concerning the practical difficulties of translation. His scriptural and talmudic resonances and nuances, his historical and textual layerings, his allusive and elusive echoings and patternings, are so marvelously multiform, dense, and imbricated that he is daunting even to the most sophisticated Hebrew readers." Setting aside issues of translation, critics generally agree that Agnon was concerned foremost with the enduring relevance and meaning of Judaism through history. According to Lippman Bodoff, "The struggle to provide and maintain a Jewish identity as the core of Israeli culture, in the face of the chasm in Jewish life opened up by modernity between the self and reason at war with community and faith, is an underlying theme in much of Agnon's work." Agnon saw growing secularity and loss of tradition as threats to Judaism, community, and spiritual piety that would eventually lead to isolation and alienation. Conflicts and oppositions similar to these run throughout the author's works. Bodoff, though speaking specifically about Betrothed, identified a pervading theme in Agnon's fiction, "a battle between Past and Future, Religion and Nature, Spirituality and Science, Hebraism and Paganism, Jewish tradition and Greek and Roman culture, God and Nature . . . ." Agnon's subtlety as an artist is evidenced by the fact that the victor in those battles is not always apparent.

[In the following excerpt, Leviant observes that Agnon incorporated some of his favorite themes into the narratives of Twenty-One Stories, a collection that the critic perceives as steeped in Hebrew history, culture, and language.]
In Twenty-one Stories we see the themes that had become almost obsessive with Agnon throughout his long career: loss of home, exile from family, Diaspora, alienation, despair, loss of faith. Half of the stories come from Agnon's Sefer ha-Maasim (variously translated as Book of Tales, Deeds,...

About a third of Agnon's work directly reflects the culture of the shtetl before its final decline. Entirely devoted to a limited range of experience in the century preceding Agnon's birth, such work takes the form of folk tales in the idiom of the faithful who enjoyed the "whole loaf" of experience within the ancestral tradition.

S. Y. Agnon was a writer often fascinated with fabulous antiquity, but what is peculiar about Betrothed, one of his most intricately devised and original tales, is its seemingly promiscuous intermingling of different ancient worlds. The story is set in the early Zionist...

[In the following essay, Knieger attempts to define the central theme of the story "The Face and the Image" ("Ha-panim la-panim").]
One of the Agnon stones in Twenty-One Stories is "The Face and the Image." But this title is a metaphorical translation of the Hebrew "Ha-panim la-panim," which literally translates into "The Face to the Face." The editor Nahum N. Glatzer in his "Editorial Postscript" writes (on page 283) that the "Hebrew title of the story is taken from Proverbs 27:19, which the standard translations render as, 'As in the...

[There is a] combination in Agnon's fiction of the dreaming and waking consciousness, but [it remains to be] determined what kind of dreams these are. They are surely not typically Freudian or Jungian dreams, though it would be easy to find features to support a Freudian or Jungian analysis.

[In the following excerpt, Aberbach studies the meaning underlying the passivity of characters in Agnon's short fiction.]
No characteristic of the Agnon hero is more pervasive, more problematical and deeply rooted than his passivity. In his contact with women and men, whether they are relatives, friends, acquaintances, or officials, his passivity shows itself in his indecisiveness, his failure to act or to complete his actions, his willingness to wait aimlessly, his malleability, "femininity", and masochism, his blind submission to...

Like most country music, Dylan LeBlanc's second album comes with some post breakup baggage, which can equal: A. Great music or B. Depressing music.
But Cast the Same Old Shadow doesn't really ring either bell. It does a nice job at crystallising the mood of a young cowboy who's just had his heart broken and is in desperate need of a drink, a friend and a saloon piano to recover. But it lacks the visceral punch that you would be expecting from a guy who's reportedly had his heart torched like an open fire marshmallow.
First track Part One: The End comes draped in a grey fog of loneliness and regret, but halfway through the album it becomes apparent that things aren't nearly as melancholic as you thought they'd be.
Upon repeated listens you realise there's a gentle upbeat thread throughout, with tracks like Brother, where LeBlanc channels his inner Neil Young, and Comfort Me doing just what the title implies.
But if you were to subtract the slide guitars and twang in his voice, Cast the Same Old Shadow sounds more like Chris Isaak than a near suicidal Ryan Adams.
Also LeBlanc's country style inflections start to grate, giving the impression that he's trying to apply a little too much southern comfort. His smooth vocal tone of smoke and wood would be a treat if he didn't sound like he had a jar of marbles in his mouth.
He has a genuinely interesting voice but it runs a very fine line between purity and parody. It's not a bad album, it's just not a great one either.

Wayne Law to Host Japanese Judicial System Presentation, Nov. 16
DETROIT (Nov. 13, 2007) – Wayne State University Law School and the Office of International Programs will proudly host a presentation on the Japanese Judicial System featuring Japanese Judge Kensuke Abo from 3 – 4:30 p.m. in the Hilberry Auditorium located in the Student Center on Friday, Nov. 16, 2007.
A scholar-in-residence with Wayne State University Law School for the 2007-2008 academic year by way of the recently announced Japanese Judge Program, Judge Abo will review the present circumstances, issues and reforms in the Japanese judicial system.
"Judge Abo's experience and perspective gained from working in the Japanese judicial system will prove a wonderful learning experience for all in attendance," said Wayne Law Dean Frank H. Wu. "We are pleased to have this opportunity to hear from Judge Abo and look forward to continued collaboration with the Supreme Court of Japan and the Third Circuit Court of Michigan with regard to Wayne Law's Japanese Judge Program."
Judge Abo earned his bachelor's degree from the Faculty of Law of the University of Keio in Japan in 2003 and was appointed a judge in 2004. After receiving his degree, he completed a special course of practical legal training at the Legal Training and Research Institute of the Supreme Court as a legal apprentice.
He spent the first few years of his career hearing civil cases, and has been hearing criminal trials at Chiba District Court since April 2007. Judge Abo was selected by the Supreme Court of Japan to be the scholar in residence at Wayne Law and at the Third Circuit Court of Michigan. As such, he is studying the Circuit Court's Civil Division and the Domestic Relations Section of the Family Division; observing the Court's Jury Services and Case Processing Departments and the operations of the Mediation Tribunal Association; and studying the Court's Criminal Division. He is also available to Wayne Law students and faculty to discuss research.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

KEY LARGO -- Sharon Alvarado remembers plenty of things about her time in Sierra Leone from 1964 to 1966 as a volunteer for the Peace Corps.
She remembers teaching chemistry at St. Francis secondary school in Makeni, a northern town in the small West African country. She remembers the children from the grammar school gathering each afternoon by the windows of the home she shared with Peace Corps colleagues to catch a glimpse of the exotic foreigners. She even remembers the yellow flowers in front of that house.
However, Alvarado doesn't remember Ernest Bai Koroma, the boy who grew up to become Sierra Leone's president. But Koroma remembers her.
"You never know who you're influencing," said Alvarado, who went onto a long career as Chicago school teacher before retiring to Key Largo in 1999.
It turns out Koroma, 59, was one of the grammar school boys who would peer through those windows of Alvarado's home. He was also the son of Alvarado's landlords in Makeni. So, as Koroma prepared for a March visit to Washington, D.C., for a meeting with President Obama, and also to make a speech at Peace Corps headquarters, he made a request to see the woman he remembered only as "Ms. Sharon."
After a look into their archives to see who was stationed in Makeni in the 1960s, Peace Corps administrators determined that the Sierra Leone president was referring to Alvarado. In late February, the Key Largo retiree received a call from Washington asking if she'd be available to meet Koroma before his speech on March 27.
"It was very surprising," Alvarado said of the invitation. "I had never met him. But I knew the name, that he was president. But I didn't associate the name with his parents."
She does remember Koroma's parents though, especially his mother, who was an educator herself. Alice Koroma, Alvarado said, was like a "mother hen" to her in Sierra Leone.
"She was always the one coming over telling us to do the right thing," Alvarado recalled.
Lessons like that might have served as a compass for Alice's son as well. For 24 years Koroma pursued a career in the insurance industry. But in 2002, with Sierra Leone emerging from a brutal 11-year civil war that would be famously depicted in the 2006 film "Blood Diamonds," an unknown Koroma decided to enter the political fray. He won the leadership of the opposition All People's Congress party in 2002. Then he took the party into the majority in 2007, winning the presidency. Koroma was re-elected in a landslide last November.
During his meeting with Obama on March 28, the American president lauded Koroma and his administration for presiding over free elections in Sierra Leone and for providing good governance that has helped bring about economic growth. Koroma has also championed anti-corruption measures and focused on improving the health-care system in the country of 6 million.
A day before Obama met with Koroma, it was Alvarado's turn. They spoke one-on-one for 30 minutes at the Peace Corps headquarters. Alvarado, a member of the local Art Guild of the Purple Isles, gave Koroma a work she painted for him of the central traffic roundabout in Makeni.
The meeting, said Alvarado, was quiet, as they searched for things to discuss some five decades after her stay in Sierra Leone. Koroma mainly reminisced about the carefree fun of boyhood and about going with mother Alice to visit Alvarado and the other Peace Corps volunteers in their rented home. He also remembered looking through those windows.
In the end, said Alvarado, the experience has definitely made this year memorable. It also brought her closer to Sierra Leone, which she had never stopped keeping track of despite losing all of her contacts as a result of the civil war.
"To me it was really great to think somebody remembers you after 50 years," Alvarado said.
Especially when that somebody is a nation's president.

Imagine flying to Las Vegas on a private jet for a little more than $500.
It might be possible - provided you pass the interview stage.
A new service called JumpSeat seeks to pair spontaneous travelers with wealthier individuals and families who have already chartered a plane but want to lower their costs. The idea is to fill seats that otherwise would go empty without greatly changing the experience.
But you can't just buy a ticket and board the plane. For now, founder and chief executive Justin Sullivan or one of his colleagues interviews all prospective passengers. The goal: to ensure the extra travelers don't bother whoever paid $4,000 or $10,000 or $50,000 to charter the plane. Often, that means keeping conversation to a minimum.
"Ultimately, it is a social exercise," Sullivan said. "It is going to be a cultural phenomenon. But part of building community is instilling a sense of proper etiquette. "
Massachusetts-based JumpSeat, which has been offering the service for about a month, is one of a handful of relatively new operations that seeks to open private jet travel to more people.
Most of the new entrants seek to remedy inefficiencies in the jet market, in which planes often fly either empty during repositioning flights or with many unfilled seats. Many of JumpSeat's competitors have generally focused on renting entire jets for cheaper-than-market prices, rather than individual seats. JumpSeat offers customers both options.
Sullivan, a seven-year veteran of the private jet industry, said it is wrong to assume charter customers have unlimited funds and don't worry about spending. Even many wealthier customers jump at the chance to save money, especially if they can do it by carrying a couple of passengers that they'll hardly see once on board.
"What we have found is that if they don't have to compromise anything else - they can still pick their equipment, they still don't have to deal with the TSA, they can still select their itinerary - they are willing to share empty seats on their aircraft if it offsets their costs," he said.
David Rosenblum, a Florida-based businessman, said he used JumpSeat recently to rent out two seats of an eight-seat Cessna Citation X for a flight between Miami and Van Nuys. JumpSeat took a cut of his take - that's how the company makes money - but he still made out well on the deal.
"Basically, I got $10,000 back," Rosenblum said. "They were a nice couple. They didn't really talk a whole lot. We sat in one area, and they sat in the other. For four people on an eight-passenger plane, there's plenty of room. "
At most airports, private jets passengers don't go through security, which means JumpSeat needs to be careful about whom it selects to fly. The company advertises that it does background checks on passengers and checks names against the federal government's current no-fly list.
Sullivan also wants to ensure his passengers are relatively well behaved. He does not, for example, want to sell a seat to a financial planner whose main goal is to pitch a product to a wealthy person who chartered the plane.
"This comes up all the time," Sullivan said. "People ask, 'How do I know my counter party is someone I want to share a plane with?' We want to get some basic level of comfort for people we are going to essentially vouch for. "
Sullivan likens his site to Airbnb, which allows people to rent out rooms, apartments and houses to travelers. Many of the prices on that wildly popular site, operational in 192 countries, go for less than the price of a hotel room.
Richard P. Rumelt, a professor at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, called JumpSeat's business model intriguing but expressed skepticism about how the company might attract regular customers.
"Typically, the value proposition of a private jet is the flexibility - I get to go where I want to go when I want," Rumelt said. "But if you schedule it like a commercial airline, I don't see what the value is - at least the value that might be repeated. I can see people doing it once. "
Take March 31, when two seats are available from Los Angeles International Airport to Eagle, Colo., near popular ski destinations, for $5,000. That's a great deal for a flight on an eight-seat Cessna Citation X, but the cost is far greater than the price of a first-class ticket. And since the plane will leave at some point between 9 and 11:30 a.m. and has no return leg, it's only appropriate for adventurous travelers with lots of disposable income.
For JumpSeat to become less of a social experiment and more of a money-making enterprise, it may need to build up its network between major cities. It could work well on routes where there is considerable private jet travel, such as between Van Nuys and Las Vegas. If Sullivan can sign up enough customers who have planes, he might be able to offer seats on several flights to Las Vegas in one day, giving fliers choices.
And with the flight to Las Vegas so short, the price would be considerably lower.
Sullivan said users might be able to find a last-minute seat to Las Vegas, perhaps on a four-seat light jet, for somewhere between $500 and $800.
"As the community builds to a critical mass," he said, "you'll be able to set your watch to the notion that you will be able to hop on a JumpSeat. "

There will be no rehearing on Monterey County's ordinance requiring public ownership of desalination plants before the state Public Utilities Commission, leaving the county with a decision to make.
On Thursday, the PUC formally denied a request for reconsideration by the county and the Marina Coast Water District of the commission's decision finding its own authority preempts the county law, as well as the jurisdiction of local courts to rule on the issue. In rejecting the request, the commission did amend its earlier decision by declaring that it only applied the preemption of the county's regulatory oversight of "public utility facilities or operations."
The PUC's decision was aimed at clarifying its authority to approve a desal plant for a private firm, California American Water, as part of the $400 million Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project, which is designed to provide a new water supply to offset a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River.
While the county has previously agreed not to enforce its ordinance against Cal Am as part of a deal to regain millions spent on the failed regional desal project, County Counsel Charles McKee said he remained concerned that the CPUC's decision was "overbroad" and could apply to other desal proposals. McKee said the county has acknowledged enforcing the ordinance against Cal Am would be a challenge. He added, however, that it remains in the county's interest to maintain a level of oversight on desal proposals, particularly with regard to the technical and financial capacity of those proposing them, under its jurisdiction.
McKee said that leaves county officials to decide whether to pursue a hearing before the state Supreme Court on the PUC's preemption decision. Since the county has 30 days to seek such a hearing, and the Board of Supervisors is due to take its summer break after Tuesday's meeting, McKee said he may have to bring the matter to the supervisors in an emergency session.
Cal Am spokesman Kevin Tilden said company officials always believed the county could not enforce its ordinance against a "public utility" providing water under a "service order," but suggested the county could still retain oversight of a "merchant plant" seeking to earn a profit from the sale of desal water.
The proposed settlement agreement between the county and Cal Am is pending before the PUC, which is also considering Cal Am's request to keep millions of dollars in county invoices for work on the regional project confidential. Cal Am is seeking permission to repay the county up to $3.5 million spent on the project, and charge its Peninsula customers for most of that.

Help me out here guys. I thought it would be cool if each of us posted a portion of the Declaration until it is completed one post after another. Please don't just cut and paste. If you don't know it by heart, or if it's not hanging on your wall, I've posted a copy here. http://www.gunco.net/forums/f259/free-manuals-39044/
''The unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America...
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to disolve the political bands which have connected them to another,''
"and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,"
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Lets keep it goin guys-at the rate the powers that be are going somebodys gotta keep it alive!!
And I'll be damned if im gonna let her fall on my watch!!
Keep the change-I just want my Country back!!!
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Happy Independence Day
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
"That to secure these rights,governments are instituted among men,deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,....."
''That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it,''
"and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
I love that part...
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,pursuing invariably the same object,evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,it is their right,it is their duty,to throw off such government,and to provide new guards for their future security."

• U.S. troops become embroiled in an independence conflict between East
Timor and Indonesian guerillas.
• Militia leader Suhadi Sadono has made himself untouchable.
• Deployed by a top secret wing of the NSA (National Security Agency) known
as Third Echelon, Sam Fisher is a lone field operative supported by a remote
team. Charged with saving the world, it's a high stakes game. If he fails,
the U.S. will deny any knowledge of his existence.
• Fisher must defend and assist the US military, until Sadono can be neutralized
and the guerilla faction decapitated.
An experience so compelling you feel it.
• Believe the story.
Inspired by the world of Tom Clancy, and endorsed by the famous author, and
written by JT Petty, who penned the original Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow features a storyline so real you can feel it.
Tension filled stealth-action springs from a compelling original storyline
so realistic it could have been ripped from
the headlines.
• Understand the characters. In this sequel to the original game, favorite
characters like Sam Fisher and Irving Lambert return and unveil even more about
their personal histories in the more character-driven storyline. New antagonists
appear, including Suhadi Sodano an Indonesian guerilla leader whose beliefs
are sound, but whose methods are barbaric. And then there is Norman Soth: CIA-trained
mercenary deep under cover or traitor working for the enemy? Whose side is
he really on?
• Immerse yourself.
Revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation, physics, and sound effects pushed
to the limit to create a universe so
tightly woven that the line between reality and gaming starts to blur. "High
res" cinematics, amazing sound design
and music as well as top quality voice over give SCPT as unique movie production
quality. Voice actors, music
composers and cinematic directors to be announced in the coming months.
• You've got the moves.
Now more than ever, Sam relies on his moves. In this sequel to the original
Splinter Cell, circumstances demand that Sam use his agility and athleticism
to avoid detection and death. In fact the level design demands them. Use a half
split jump to reach a ledge, zip line across an open courtyard, rappel along
the side of a building, SWAT-turn
to bypass an open door unseen.
• You've got the gear.
Based on prototypes currently in development, or gadgets out on the field,
Sam Fisher has a menu of high tech gadgets and tools from which to choose.
Revolutionary multiplayer stealth action gameplay online for the first
• Take Splinter Cell online.
Taking place in a graphically-rich environment we expect from Splinter Cell,
the multiplayer gameplay is a natural extension of the Splinter Cell world.
Just as in Splinter Cell, players will call on a wide variety of gadgets, weapons
and athletic moves to best their opponents. The light and shadow-filled environment
offers dark retreats for stealth gamers and wide open spaces that spell danger
for spies. The multiplayer game is integrated into the compelling offline story,
though both offline and online gameplay can be enjoyed independently of one another.
• Choose a side.
Taunt your enemies from the shadows as you meet stealth objectives playing
through wide multiplayer maps in third-person view as a Shadow Net Spy. Or
track spies using a first-person perspective as a heavy armed Argus Mercenary
protecting your compound. The abilities and resources on each side are evenly
matched. Winning will come down to skill and strategy.
• Feel the tension.
Just as in the original game, online players will feel the tension that comes
from never knowing what might happen next. Shadow Net spies hold their breath
as mercenaries pass by close enough to touch them. They hide in the dark and
wait for the right moment to spring into action. They work in concert—one
can distract the mercenaries,
while the other(s) meets the objective. Mercenaries never know when a Shadow
Net spy might silently drop down from the shadows to attack, or slip by detection
efforts to complete a mission. But relying heavily on their detection devices
they feel like they can stop the threat—at least for now. Are
spies stealing your secrets while they toy with you?
It's important to note that the maximum number of players on a multiplayer
map is four. Too many people in a map would create chaos and result in shooter
gameplay. But this is Splinter Cell. It's a stealth action game not a
shooter. This game tests your stealth and your strategy, your readiness and
your resourcefulness. Are you ready?
• Feel the game.
The multiplayer maps feature the revolutionary lighting, shadowing, animation,
physics, and sound effects that have become the Splinter Cell trademark. Graphical
effects push that even further. Electronic interference can disrupt the vision
and tools of the mercenaries. Spies must avoid the searching flash lights and
laser pointers. Flash bang, shaft and gas grenades are also powerful visual effects
that players will have to deal with. Thanks to their advanced goggles, Shadow
Nets can see in the dark and read thermo signatures in their environment while
mercenaries detect movements and electro-magnetic disturbance in their surroundings…and
much more to discover.

Mood: WOOF!
Well, it's a lot better than this year where we were near or at the top of tough schedules. I wrote a message about this a month or so ago. I compared 2012 to 2013 based on opponents performance in 2012.
Based on 2012 performance we have the easiest schedule in our division but not by much. Actually all four teams are around the middle of the pack.
Of course, this is just one aspect of what goes into a successful season but it sure is important for getting into the playoffs and one should never underestimate the importance of that.
I have dug into the details, but I don't (mathematically) understand how the Eagles who will play a 4th place schedule could have a more difficult schedule the Cowboys or us.
Teams can change so much over the course of an off-season, you don't truly know the strength of your schedule until you've finished playing it.
if we go 9-7 with that schedule, someone needs to get fired...
At least the Cowboys have to travel down to the Bayou and we don't. Plus they're going to have Rob Ryan next year

I've used it for years. U can buy the aeresol can at Wal-Mart, but I prefer the liquid in a bottle over the spray can.

Idina Menzel stars in the Disney film Frozen. The award-winning actress is also known for her performances in the Broadway musical and film adaptation of Rent and the Broadway musical Wicked. "As a young girl on Long Island I was brought into New York City to see Broadway shows," Menzel told TFK. "For the kids that can't do that, Disney films could be a good way to introduce kids to the genre."
Menzel introduces kids to theater through a foundation that she and her Rent co-star, actor Taye Diggs, created in 2010. It is called A BroaderWay. Through programs like Camp BroaderWay, the foundation uses the arts to build self-esteem and leadership skills in girls from urban communities.
TFK Kid Reporter Camryn Garrett spoke with Kristin Quintano, the Associate Director of Camp BroaderWay, about the camp and what it hopes to achieve with its work.
What is Camp BroaderWay's mission?
To provide a space and opportunity for urban girls to learn to gain confidence through self-expression in the arts, so that they can go back to their communities and speak up for themselves.
How many girls attend Camp BroaderWay?
The first summer we took 32 campers who had just finished the sixth grade, and decided that they would make a four-year commitment to the camp. We took 15 new campers to make a total of 60 campers last year.
What type of programs does the camp include?
We do everything. We swim, and do arts and crafts. We have really unique electives like spoken word, songwriting, acting classes, vocal classes, and a glee elective this year. We're able to work with the girls in different performance arts directions. We also had storyboarding, where campers put together the playbill for our final show. Creative workers like Idina or Taye work with the kids, but the final concert that the campers put on is all their work.
Do the girls perform in musicals, or in other types of shows?
There was a talent show, and a session with poetry or spoken word that was all original. During one of the previous shows, Idina wrote a song that the girls sang throughout the concert called "The Tree Song." It had to do with a tree and all of its aspects: the trunk, the roots, the branches, and what they mean.
We're growing and expanding with more activities so that we see the girls throughout the year. We went to see How Sweet the Sound, a gospel choir competition, and some of the girls were on Katie Couric's talk show with Taye. We're going to have a reunion, and also have some programming around self-expression.
How do you hope to change the program in the future?
I hope to work with more and more kids. After we're in the spotlight, I get hundreds of emails from parents who want their daughters to be part of this program. I hope to expand outside of New York City, or maybe have boys involved so that it isn't just an opportunity for girls. There are a lot of different ways we can change.
What do you think is the camp and foundation's greatest achievement?
I love to see kids step outside of their comfort zone, try something new, and take a risk. I feel like a proud parent when I see the kids do something that they've been struggling with in a class or rehearsal. To see them step out and feel confident, that's a really cool thing.

I was just going to say this Plax2theMAX. But I recall seeing him make an impact a bit sooner. Bradshaw seemed to be become more of a contributer just past mid-season, from what I recall. I hope the same holds true for Wilson, because I see this kid having WAY more big play making ability than Bradshaw. Not knocking AB in the least, thats just how much up-side I see Wilson having.
After the limited glimpses we've had of Wilson, does anyone still long for Doug Martin?
Theres a difference between a player not being a good blocker or RB and a player who hasnt been given the opportunity to showcase if he is or not. Wilson took a run to the house (like he did during preseason) and that still didnt warrant him to receive another carry after it. It has to be frustrating and disheartening for the premise to be put in place that his lack of opportunities stems from a fumble in game 1 and that he needed to work into good graces. Meanwhile the #1 RB prior to this game was performing horribly all season and then starts the game off with a fumble yet Coughlin goes right back to him. It's almost like the rules don't apply to everyone and even though Wilson was tearing it up with the kick returns he wasnt given any other opportunities due to one simple mistake in his first game.
It's this kind of over the top conservative philosophy with rookies that makes me think that Coughlin wouldnt even be playing a rookie Adrian Peterson if we had him. If you're going to make a huge stink over the fumble like he did you need to apply that fairly to others especially those who were not performing up to the standards. It's funny though, TC sticks with the guy who fumbles and that guy gets a 200 yard game. Makes you wonder what Wilson couldve done had he been stuck with and not bailed out on.
well this is now a 3 RB league, so you got the starter with a bulging disc in his neck and ankles with more hardware than tissue and bone, a backup RB with a concussion and a 4th string RB that hasn't shown much
so yeah, 1st round pick Wilson, you better believe he will have a larger role once he can be 80% trusted with ball security and blitz pickup
and that's why you need 3 good RBs ... it's a brutal position

Apologize to Melo 5
- Gibril Wilson (starter)
- Chris Snee (starter)
- Eli Manning (starter)
- Brandon Jacobs (significant role)
- Ahmad Bradshaw (significant role)
- Aaron Ross (significant role)
- Kevin Boss (significant role, starter after Shockey got hurt)
- Steve Smith (significant role)
- Kenny Philips (starter)
It's all about whether they are ready to play or not. Wilson is a great athlete...but is he actually ready to take a bigger load? The coaches see more than we do.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice and handy apartment in quiet area near centre of town. Ana & Izabel were very helpful. Plenty of space for a family of four. Shops and restaurants nearby, but also well equipped kitchen. We liked sitting on the terrace in the evening. We definitely recommend this accomodation and like to come back.
Firstly Izabel (and Ana of course, even if we did not met her) was a very good host. We arrived early - but it was no problem that she came to the flat to give us a warm welcome.
The flat was as beautiful as we expected. In the heart of Alfama underneath the castle the flat is located perfectly for trips in the old town. A mall is a 6 minute walk away.
The flat is huge - there is enough space for 4 people at least. We enjoyed the stay there. The only shortcoming (that is said by other guests already) is the little bathroom and shower/rest room.
Against the humidity of the old building there is a powerful air conditioner and a dryer. That helps a lot to feel good.
If we do a trip to Lisbon again, we know where we will stay - thanks a lot to our hosts.
Lovely apartment, clean, spacious with the exception of the bathroom. Ana & Izabel were extraordinary hosts; they received us with fruits and wine. The apartment is very well located close to St George's Castle and to Miradouro de Santa Luzia. Also well communicated by tram 28 and bus 737 to Figueira Square. Good restaurants around with live Fado performers. We highly recommend it.
The apartment was perfect for our stay in Lissabon: spatious, clean, a good bed to sleep in, a great location right around the corner from the castel, lot's of restaurants in the area. Ana and Izabel, Thanks again for being lovely hosts!
very big and nice appartment, large kitchen, Close to market place - we enjoyed our stay very much
Very nice accommodation in the historic center of Lisbon. Clever and practical furnishings. An authentic welcome.
Thank you to our hosts for their availability.
Très agréable logement dans le centre historique de Lisbonne. Aménagement astucieux et pratique. Une authenticité à saluer.
Merci à nos hôtes pour leur disponibilité.
The apartment in Cascais, very spacious, very clean, well equipped, very quiet, well located, near the market and the center of Cascais. As we would say that could use that had a microwave, otherwise it has everything. Ana Izabel and very attentive. We spent a lovely few days.
El apartamento en Cascais, muy amplio, muy limpio, bien equipado, muy tranquilo, bien situado, al lado del mercado y del centro de Cascais. Sólo diríamos que vendría bien que tuviese un microondas, por lo demás tiene de todo. Ana e Izabel muy atentas. Hemos pasado unos días estupendos.
Very good stay in Lisbon.
We were very well received in the apartment with a bottle of port, fruit and some tourist brochures.
Apartment very nice, very well located, a small flat for the bathroom which is a bit below the standard of the rest of the apartment and wet enough.
Ana Izabel have been very responsive.
In conclusion we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend studio.
Très bon séjour à Lisbonne.
Nous avons été très bien accueilli dans l'appartement, avec une bouteille de porto, des fruits ainsi que quelques brochures touristiques.
Appartement très agréable, très bien situé, un petit bémol pour la salle de bain qui est un peu en dessous du standing du reste de l'appartement et assez humide.
Ana et Izabel se sont montrées très à l'écoute.
En conclusion nous avons fortement apprécié ce studio et nous le recommandons.
Ana and Izabel was very helpful and drove us to and from the station. A good reception with water and port as well as relevant information. A nice apartment in a good location. The hosts must not be blamed for a little cold week.
Ana og Izabel var meget hjælpsomme og kørte os til og fra stationen. En god modtagelse med vand og portvin samt relevante informationer. En dejlig lejlighed med en god beliggenhed. Værterne skal ikke have skylden for en lidt kold uge.
We loved staying in this quirky colourful apartment whilst attending an International Biodanza Conference!
It was well located and well equipped.We enjoyed the photo gallery too!
Ana was an excellent host sorting things out for us, carrying our case upstairs and welcoming us to the apartment.
I would recommend this apartment as a good place to stay if visiting this area.

The Kenshaw Ken Onion Scallion Pocket Knife is ideal for knife users who prefer a slightly larger knife than the Chive - but one that is still compact, features great Onion styling, and performs like a champ. Its 3-1/2 inch folded size makes it perfect for everyday pocket carry. It offers high-performance styling, plus the convenience of the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Just pull back on the blade protrusion or use the thumb-stud for easy SpeedSafe opening. As with all Kershaw SpeedSafe knives, the torsion bar holds the blade safely in the handle until the user releases it. And it won't allow the blade to fall back into the handle until the user pushes it into place. For additional safety, the Safety Tip Lock keeps the blade secure even when carried in a pocket.
For good edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance, the blade is manufactured of high-carbon 420HC stainless-steel. For added convenience, all Scallions come with a removable, reversible pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry.
The textured handles not only provide an excellent grip, but also offer classic good looks. These 6061-T6 aluminum handles are extremely durable. The process of anodizing hardens aluminum and produces a porous, oxide coating that can absorb dyes. This makes it possible to produce colored surfaces that cannot be rubbed off and are extremely scratch-resistant.

Ansah (and Okafor) I see more as strong side DEs (replacing Tuck). Setting the edge and getting pursuit sacks. I think they're both great pass rushing prospects, but I agree that neither would probably make GREAT pass rushers. But I don't need them to be the next Strahan ... just the next Tuck.
I think of those, one would be available, and I'd be happy with any of those in the first. They all address a real need in a big way for us. I agree about your assessment of Rhodes vs. later CBs in the draft. As for Ogletree, while I agree with you, I think he's the multidimensional type of LB we really need and our dline has to do more with respect to being stout against the run. That and the run stuffers that will be around in the first round just don't impress me (Minter and Teo). But I can understand the misgivings here.
Lemonier: I don't see him being as good as Osi (or Smith or Irvin). The only way I say grab a situational player is if he blows my hair back at what he does (and Lemonier, while good, doesn't do it for me).
Moore: Herzlich has yet to prove that he can play at this level (or get up to the level he played at BC for that matter) so that's a no-brainer. Paysinger I'll disagree with ... I thought he's been coming along really nicely. While Moore might supplant him, I don't think you can say that with a given (at least I didn't bet that impression from him on the little tape I've watched).

Because of his range though, I'd see him as more valuable as a 3-4 OLB who can flare out on zone dog blitzes.

It's a misconception that athletes should flock to Colorado to train for competitions.
Ideally, says University of Colorado at Boulder chemical engineering Professor Igor Gamow, athletes should live at high altitude and work out at low altitude. This is fine for the jet set, but for Joe Athlete, the commute between Boulder and San Diego may be too costly.
Check out the virtual altitude alternative by slumbering in the Gamow Bed. This hypobaric chamber allows athletes to sleep at simulated high altitude, thereby producing more oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
Gamow will demonstrate the bed and the Gamow Bag a hyperbaric chamber used to treat mountain climbers who suffer from acute altitude sickness at a free slide show and workshop Thursday, May 22, at 6:30 p.m. at Boulder's ProPeloton bike shop, 2615 13th St.
The audience will be encouraged to climb into the different chambers to feel the sensation of being at higher and lower altitudes. This workshop gives out-of-state Bolder Boulder runners an opportunity to ask Gamow questions about their training routine and altitude.

Bonnie Comley, MA '94
Broadway producer, actor, writer, and Tony Award–winner
Q. What are you currently working on?
On Broadway, I'm co-producing Priscilla, Queen of the Desert; War Horse at Lincoln Center; an extension of Merchant of Venice with Al Pacino; and trying to pull together a new musical called A Moment in Time with John Denver's music.
In TV and film, I am finishing a documentary on horses narrated by Glenn Close, and a TV movie called The Dog Who Saved Halloween. And I am writing a book on fame!
Q. Could you describe an experience at Emerson that shifted the course of your career?
I had a TV production class that forced the students to rotate jobs for a live TV studio show. There were about 15 jobs: directing, lighting, writing, camera, etc. I knew I never wanted to be a director or a lighting designer, but I had to learn it. I never mastered all of the jobs in this class, but we learned enough to put on our little live show every week. Understanding the responsibilities and language of each crew member who is on a set or stage has helped me to communicate effectively with them during my career—which is so important on a set or stage because there is always a clock ticking.
Q. Is there an example of how a classmate aided you with your career?
My classmate Victor Nawrocki '82 (writer, product trainer) told me to do an internship in New York, and that changed my life. Victor had done an internship at CBS for As the World Turns and thought I should apply for it. So I did. That is how I ended up in Manhattan. I'm still in Manhattan and still friends with Victor!
Q. Are you professionally connected to other Emersonians?
I was on the Emerson College Board of Overseers for six years and mentored two students. I am now on the Dean's Advisory Council to the School of the Arts, so I am connected to the students, faculty, and administration on a regular basis.
In the workplace, I run into Emersonians all the time. And I frequently see bios that mention Emerson in playbills.
Q. What's the single most important piece of advice you'd like to give to Emerson students?
Learn every aspect of making a TV show or movie. You don't have to master them all, but understand how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Show business is a collaborative effort. With each Broadway show and every movie comes a team of people. The better and faster you can communicate what you need to another team member, the better the outcome for everyone. Emerson is a great place to experiment and make mistakes. In fact, sometimes the mistake is better than the original plan!

100 things to do before graduating from Marquette
No one is better positioned to talk about getting immersed in the Marquette experience than alumni and current students. They tweeted, posted and e-mailed tips for incoming freshmen. Straight from those who know, here are the top 100 things every student should do before graduating from Marquette.
(Caution: It's well known was even pointed out once by The Princeton Review that studying, lots of it, comes before anything else here.)
(Caution #2: High school students reading this article might want to suddenly attend Marquette. With that, here's a link to our undergraduate admissions page.)

Some sunny Saturday morning catch the route 30 bus on WI Ave going east toward the lake and just ride while you look out the window at the city. It will take you through downtown, to the lake, through some artsy east-side neighborhoods and to UWM. When you want to return to MU just catch the 30 back. Also catch the route 31 on 12th and WI going west some day. It will take you past the Harley Davidson factory, Miller Brewery, Washinton Park, some beautiful west Wauwatosa neighborhoods and to Mayfair Mall or an alternate route to MCOW. Again you can get off where you want and just catch it back to MU when you want. Get some friends to go along if you do not want to travel alone. It only costs a few bucks to get to "discover" Milwaukee. Get to know the transit system. My friends and I first rode for a quarter, and we figured out the bus (transit) system very well!

Some nights I hate being a Rangers fan.
Aside from the fact the game should have never gone to OT but what a terrible effort in OT. Very sloppy play the whole game and an almost complete inability to do hockey basics... like connect on a damn pass or get the puck by someone right in front of you or clear the damn defensive zone.
Outshot 16-5 in OT? I know they were on the PK for some of that but 16-5?
Also, the whole game, it always seems like this team, for being so "defensively sound" sure struggle a lot in the defensive zone. Seriously, if not for Henrik and some lucky bounces off the post this game could have been 6-2. The whole team, even Henrik for that soft goal he let in against the rookie d-man, should do extra laps and hang their heads in shame.
From now on, I'm thinking this team should just forfeit when a game goes to OT in the postseason because after 3 games its the same ****. They look like they're just delaying the game until Henrik gets an unstoppable shot on goal.
Hope Sunday is better.
Rangers are not going to make it out of this series.
Mood: WOOF!
The Rangers looked god-awful last night and still got it to OT.
The Bruins have 3 rookies on defense and they barely sweat.
