I saw a lecture about this super-cool project you people are pulling together!
However, I'm limited to boinc "only" in contributing to this since I have no education. So I'm wondering if there is any open sourced education out there for people like myself so that we can help out with simple tasks?

Do yourself a favor: Don't drive on I-25 through Denver this weekend
DENVER, Colo. - Carmageddon is making its way to the mile high city this weekend.
Interstate 25 will be closed in both directions between Sante Fe Dr. and 6th Ave. from 9 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday and then again from 9 p.m. Saturday until 5 a.m. Monday.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is closing the highway to work on the "Gap Lane Project." The project will add an extra lane to northbound I-25 by narrowing all of the existing lanes and shoulders.
The goal of the project is to alleviate rush hour congestion in the northbound lanes of I-25 through the stretch. CDOT says it's a temporary fix until funding can be found for a more permanent solution.
The north bridge of US 6 over I-25 will also be demolished during the project.

Brewers outslug Rockies, 13-10
Segura homers twice in win
DENVER - Ron Roenicke was worn out from watching the baseball soar so much in just one game. The Milwaukee Brewers skipper can't even begin to imagine playing half his games in this hitter friendly park.
"There's just so much that happens," Roenicke said.
Especially on a humid night with no wind blowing. The baseballs were flying like the old days, before the humidor came into existence at Coors Field.
Jean Segura homered twice and Ryan Braun had three hits in his 1,000th career game, helping the Brewers hold off the Colorado Rockies 13-10 on Friday night.
"There are a lot of good ballparks to hit in. There are," Roenicke said. "But those balls were crushed."
Indeed, they were.
Khris Davis homered and Carlos Gomez extended his hitting streak to 16 games as the Brewers scored their most runs of the year and tied a season high with 19 hits.
Segura said he's never had a multihomer game before Friday. He could definitely get used to hitting here.
"Everybody likes hitting in this park," Segura said. "This place is great for hitters. It's amazing how balls go off the bat here, just go out in the field so quickly."
Marco Estrada (6-4) was noticing the same thing. He didn't feel like he pitched all that bad. But then he looked at his line for the night -- seven runs in 5 2/3 innings and a career-high 10 hits -- and he can't help but wince a bit.
"I still think I threw the ball really well," Estrada said. "Nothing you can do about it, just keep going."
In their first game since being no-hit by Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, the Rockies got their league-leading offense back on track with a 16-hit evening, which included homers from Justin Morneau, Corey Dickerson and Brandon Barnes. Morneau finished with five RBIs.

The Persian War and Democracy (508-479 b.C.)
After the city had got rid of the sons of Peisistratos the power was taken by Kleisthenes, the leader of the family of Alkmaeonidae, who had returned from exile. Based on the people and supported by almost the entire population of the city, Kleisthenes initiated a broad program of reforms during the years 508-507 b.C.; this date is considered the birthday of Athenian Democracy. The core of the reforms of Kleisthenes is comprised of two points of capital importance: first, every privilege of local archons was abolished and second, all citizens obtained equal rights and had equal chances to take various offices of the state, even the higher and the most important ones.
Athens and Attica were divided in ten "phylae" (tribes) and every tribe to ten "demoi". The old division of Attica in three big regions, the "asty" (the "city"), the coast and the inland country, lost the importance it had in the past. Now, every tribe was formed of "demoi" which belonged to all three regions and would be the same in future. Every tribe sent 50 delegates, chosen by lot, to a new legislative council, the Boule, or "Council of 500". The year was also divided in ten parts, during each of which a group of 50 delegates of the Boule governed and prepared the agenda for the Ecclesia; this group was called Prytaneia. In this way, the Ecclesia obtained considerable power, including some formerly attributed to Areios Pagos; the power of this latter became now purely judicial. In order to avoid concentration of power, Kleisthenes introduced the "ostrakismos", the exile of a powerful person of the state for at least ten years, if six thousands of citizens voted for that.

These reforms were at the base of the first democracy ever, and attributed strong power to the people, at least to those people that had civil rights. In Athens, only free men of Athenian origin could be citizens; women and slaves were excluded, as well as the free men of non-Athenian origin who lived and worked in the city and were called "metics".
By the end of the 6th century b.C., a threat had appeared at the East of Greece. The Persian Empire kept expanding its power in Asia and gradually reached the Greek cities of the Aegean and the Black Sea. Very soon, the Persians would occupy several sites in Asia Minor and Thrace and would subjugate the Greek cities of the coast of Asia Minor. When in 499 b.C., the Ionian city of Miletus, the most important of them, revolted against Persian domination, Athens hastened to assistance; however, the rebellion was soon put down, Miletus was totally destroyed and the population was massacred or enslaved. When in Athens the tragedian Phrynichos presented in Athens his tragedy The Capture of Miletus , the audience burst in tears; the writer was strongly fined, as he reminded to the city its "intimate calamities", and the work was banned.
Following the capture of Miletus the Persian king Darius, in 492 b.C., set out a strong army against Greece; however the Persian fleet wrecked by the peninsula of Athos and the whole campaign went up in smoke. Two years later, in 490 b.C., Darius decided to repeat the campaign; he set out a troop of a hundred thousands of soldiers, under the command of Datis and Artafernis. The army achieved to conquer every city, town and island they found on their way to Athens. The places that resisted, as Eretria, were destroyed, whereas those who surrendered were left intact. In September of 490 b.C., following the instructions of Hippias, the former tyrant of Athens, they arrived at Marathon, on the purpose to attack and conquer Athens too.
Still defenceless, Athens managed to gather some ten thousands of soldiers and formed a hand-picked troop under the command of Miltiades who knew very well the tactics of the Persian army, as he had combated them a few years earlier; a corps of some 600 men from Plataeae had also come to assist, whereas the assistance from Sparta seemed to be delaying. Using a pretty smart disposition of their troops the Athenians achieved to trap the heavily armed and ponderous Persian army within the marshes of the area and defeat it. After their victory they hurried off to Athens, lined up in front of the port of Phaleron and inhibited the Persians from disembarking. Thus the Persians retired and took the way home.
The news of the great victory were communicated in Athens by Pheidippides, a messenger who ran all the way from Marathon to Athens wearing his arms; when he arrived to the area called today Psychiko, exhausted he cried "we have won" and dropped dead. To celebrate this fact modern Olympics have included in the game program the Marathon, the long distance foot race of 42 kilometers, the distance between Marathon and Athens; this race dates back to the Olympics of 1896.
Having lost only 192 men in the battle of Marathon the Athenians did obtain a victory of immense importance in history. To honor their heroes and mark the importance of the battle, the Athenians buried their dead on site, raising a tomb, still existing today; the state also honored them post mortem, as well as their families.
This great victory that gave to the Athenians self-reliance and confidence to the power of the people was followed by several reforms of the regime towards a more democratic direction. In the year 488 b.C. were for the first time elected archons by lot whereas the next year they practiced "ostrakismos" for the first time. These facts had broadened and deepened a lot the democratic basis of the regime. Ever since, only the ten generals would be elected by vote. In the same period a new temple of Athena was constructed on the Acropolis, just at the place where later on the Parthenon would be built; Attica was also enriched with new temple dedicated to various gods. The following years are marked by the great personality of Themistocles. Although of humble background he was elected general and he spared no pains to persuade his fellow citizens to build a strong navy in order to confront the Persians who had not abandoned their aspiration to conquer Greece. Luck was on his side, as in this very time, in 484 b.C., a new silver vein was discovered in the mines of Lavrion; along with a less important conflict with the near by island of Aegina, these facts definitely allowed Themistocles to put his plans in practice. The fleet of two hundreds of up-to-date, well equipped, rapid and easily moving vessels that was then built was the main factor of the Athenian victories against Persians. To complete his plans, Themistocles moved the port, till then in Phaleron to the better protected natural ports of Piraeus which he fortified for better results.
Xerxes, the successor of Darius on the Persian throne, had planned a new campaign against Greece. According to his plans, both his fleet and the army, himself on head, would descend to Greece aiming to conquer it totally. Facing such a great danger the Greek city – states left their quarrels apart and decided to unite their forces. Sparta, the most expert in wars, took the lead of the war. Xerxes set off in 480 b.C. and on his way southwards he defeated one city after the other. Whatever the attempts of the Greeks, he advanced quickly; he passed from Thermopylae, despite the heroic sacrifice of 300 Spartan warriors and 700 men from the village of Thespiae, commanded by the Spartan king Leonidas. The Greeks beat the Persian fleet at cape Artemision in Thessaly, but did not achieve to defeat it totally. After that, the Greeks retired both on earth and in the sea and decided to confront the Persians at the isthmus of Corinth. Some cities, as Thebae decided to leave the alliance and range on the Persians' side, a fact that somehow weakened the power of the Greeks. At the same time the Athenians, following the instructions of Themistocles abandoned their city and moved to the neighboring islands. Thus, when the Persian army and fleet arrived in Attica by the end of September, the city was empty, but a few elderly people who had refused to leave it and had taken refuge in the Acropolis. The Persians occupied the city, devastated it, set it in fire and massacred the few people left behind. Meantime the Greek fleet had been gathered at the straights of Salamina and was ready to depart for Corinth, according to the commands of Evryviades, the Spartan commander in chief. Themistocles, resolved that the sea battle would be victorious only if the Persians were beaten in the straights, resorted to a trick in order to achieve this goal. The result is well known. The heavy and difficult to navigate in the straights vessels of the Persians had suffered a painful defeat.The collapse of the Persian fleet was total and the Greeks gained a definite victory, which was completed some months later, in 479 b.C., when they beat the rest of the corps of Xerxes who had remained in Greece, under Mardonios; the battle at Plataeae was the last on Greek territory. On the same day, the remains of the Persian fleet were defeated anew, at the straights of Mykali, between Samos and the coast of Asia Minor, a fact that stimulated the Greek cities to revolt and regain independence from the Persian yoke.

More Fun to ComeApril 10, 2013
Recycled playground equipment from the the Fox Valley Park District and other donors in the United States finds new life in other nations like Uganda. Above, workers set up donated swings, slides and climbing equipment. Photo provided by Fox Valley Park District.

Recycled FVPD playground equipment gets new life overseas
Being the "green" guy that he is, Greg Stevens is always looking for ways to recycle, reuse and reinvest – even when it comes to playground equipment.
Stevens is a senior park planner for the Fox Valley Park District, which oversees and maintains 91 playgrounds. Every one of those playgrounds is monitored and assessed on a regular basis and, each year, older playgrounds are renovated – some receive brand new equipment.
Such was the case last fall at Frontenac Park on the far east side of Aurora. The playground equipment had been there for about 15 years – the average life span for playground equipment in public parks – when it was designated for replacement.
Often, the old playground equipment is recycled as scrap metal – a smart alternative vs. hauling it to a landfill. But Stevens had a much better idea, one that would recycle and re-purpose this old playground equipment and help underprivileged children as well.
Stevens contacted Kids Around the World, a non-profit company in Rockford, and worked out a win-win arrangement. Frontenac Park would be transplanted to a new home – nearly 3,000 miles away – in San Salvador, El Salvador.
In short order, Kids Around the World cut the steel playground equipment at Frontenac from its concrete footings and prepared it for transport to Mexico, where it would be re-fabricated and reconstructed at a grade school with 1,500 students.
The transfer was finalized last month, and the photos of joyous children bouncing and swinging and climbing happily were worth more than words could describe.
"It was so cool to see the kids' expressions … so happy and so excited," said Stevens. "What a great feeling."
Aurora resident Janet Geiger can describe that feeling from first-hand experience. In 2011, Geiger participated with Kids Around the World for a playground built in Masaka, Uganda.
At the dedication ceremony for the playground, Geiger recalled "my spine tingled to see the freshly painted playground buzzing with exuberant children – children who a week before did not know what a playground was."
Geiger was equally thrilled upon learning that 1,500 children in San Salvador are now experiencing the joy of play – something that can often be taken for granted in our suburban communities where parks are plentiful.
"To see my park district involved in an important program like this makes me proud to be an FVPD resident," said Geiger. "The playground that was donated to San Salvador will build up families there and give hope to their children."
Stevens said it's the only the beginning of what he hopes will be a long-term, charitable commitment.
In addition to helping children and families in impoverished areas of the world, donating used playground equipment saves the park district and its taxpayers an average of $5,000 in disposal costs.
Next up is Golden Oaks Park; its playground equipment will be sent to a yet-to-be-determined site this spring. And, next fall, equipment from the Eola Community Center playground will be destined for a new – and sure-to-be happy – home.
It's the type of recycling that creates environments of happiness and restores hope – sustainability at its best.

Tennessee fans eager for a peek inside the Volunteers football program under first-year head coach Lane Kiffin can now turn to one source for all there is to know about the Big Orange as "Tennessee Insider," UT's official 2009 gridiron yearbook, hits newsstands across the state this week.
Published jointly by the University of Tennessee and IMG College/Vol Network, the 176-page volume is packed with player bios --including Q&As with Tennessee's top returners--opponent previews and numerous insightful and entertaining features highlighting the 2009 Volunteers.
"As we get closer to football time in Tennessee, the new yearbook is a great must-have resource for fans to use and enjoy throughout the season." Vol Network President Steve Early said. "We spent more than a year planning this new official Tennessee football publication, and it will have the widest distribution and most availability of any publication we have produced for Big Orange fans."
Among the features in "Tennessee Insider" are in-depth looks at Kiffin's assembly of UT's all-star coaching staff and an analysis of the staff's first recruiting class, a stirring piece highlighting consensus All-America strong safety and Heisman Trophy candidate Eric Berry and a retrospective look back at the career of "The Voice," John Ward, 10 years after his final call.
One of the visual highlights is four full pages of eye-popping renderings and images of current and future renovations at Neyland Stadium.
Vols fans also will enjoy UT athletic historian Haywood Harris' behind-the-scenes tour highlighting some of the unsung heroes associated with UT's program. The Vol Network's broadcast tandem of Bob Kesling and Tim Priest provide their perspective on the 2009 season, and ESPN.com's Chris Low sizes up the always-formidable Southeastern Conference.
"With a writer lineup including Haywood Harris, Chris Low, Drew Edwards, John Brice, Tom Mattingly and several others lending their talents to this project, we feel we've put together a very entertaining and informative magazine for the 2009 season," Early said. "It's an impressive, descriptive and visual showcase of Tennessee's football program and will be a terrific memento as we begin the Lane Kiffin era."
"Tennessee Insider," which retails for $7.95, bears the official seal of the Vol Network on the cover, which features Kiffin and Berry in the entryway to the Peyton Manning Locker Complex at Neyland Stadium. The yearbook will be available at all 24-hour Walgreen's locations throughout the state of Tennessee and through various other retail outlets. The yearbook will also be available at Neyland Stadium during fall gamedays and can be purchased online through volnetwork.tv.
As a complement to "Tennessee Insider", UTAD and IMG College/Vol Network will distribute approximately 35,000 complimentary copies of a new publication called "Tennessee Playbook" at each home game this fall. A revamped, souvenir-sized gameday resource, each edition of "Tennessee Playbook" will include up-to-date information including rosters, statistics, gameday notes, university and player-specific features and Harris' popular "Inside Big Orange Country" column.

[Added July 6, 2013: There is massive confusion on what the culture wars are about. Bill O'Reilly pits "traditionalists" against "secular progressives" as if either group was internally coherent; while David Horowitz views [anti-Western] whiteness studies as making a "melodrama" that may explain the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin debacle ( http://tinyurl.com/l5wgmrl).
This essay tries to unpack the culture wars by analyzing the confusing and unsettled sociology that has polarized America. Some of my questions interrogate both sides in the "culture wars," rejecting the emphasis on culture to the exclusion of history, political science, and social theory. (My own views tend toward the classical liberal: thus I am one of those "secular progressives" denounced as enemies to Easter Bunnies and Christmas trees.)]
It is true that politics are messy, by contrast, sociology as the product of German Idealism, is not. Look back to Herder, Goethe and their successors who promoted a rooted cosmopolitanism. Their identity politics are tied to the utopian longing for stable national (or international) identity where its mosaic bits assume a beautiful pattern, stretching and yawning perhaps, but not confused, not switching, not turning on each other. With the mosaic in place (i.e., all "ethnic" groups embraced and expressing themselves, but monomaniacs/socially irresponsible capitalists cut out), hostility/prejudice will become irrational: "inclusiveness" and state regulation will have removed rational sources of disaffection. [1]
The identity that matters to enlightened "moderates" equates "totalitarianism of the Left and Right" leaving pluralistic "liberal" democracy as the emancipated, yet irrationalist, alternative. However, the antifascist pluralism they represent is not the liberalism of the revolutionary bourgeoisie (the classical liberals) but a shattering of what is stigmatized as the Egotistical Sublime (Ariadne's enthusiasm for labyrinths, or the long view of history.). Following conservative sociologists (e.g., Max Weber, a German patriot and supporter of the Weltkrieg), their social world is packed into separate categories: political, economic, and the cultural, yet the latter has a life of its own that cancels the politics and economic interest; human competence is dissolved into Negative Capability, at best, grasping only fragments. The New Pluralism-without-Snakes-and-Spiders merges the individual with its "ethnic (multicultural) communities"–all joyously "fused" in the state (or is it the Great Chain of Being? or nowhere at all? is the state both there and not there?): a totally mystical "public interest" in societies with antagonisms between the owning classes and those dependent on them, the latter with nowhere to go. This corporatist liberal "web and woof" is the spiritual hammock supporting us against "totalitarianism" of both the Left and Right.
Where do the left-populists and social democrats fit in? How can there be anti-racist politics while thinking in racialist terms?[2] All the questions I have raised are intertwined with the larger debate over epistemology: Heraclitus vs. Bacon and the empiricists. How do ordinary people, responsible for exercising the duties of citizenship, relying upon observation, study, and experience, know that their actions and judgments are not the products of a flawed methodology?
This blog, like others on this website, addresses the contemporary crisis in the humanities, a feverish condition said by some Rightists to have been imposed by Gramsci, Lukács, Frankfurt School critical theorists such as Adorno and Marcuse, and New Leftists who have taken the strategic heights in education and social policy. With the ascendancy of Reagan republicanism, revisions of the literary canon and the history curriculum generated by multiculturalism, feminism, and black nationalism have been seen by some conservatives as mindless new developments leading to resurgent antisemitism and neofascism. I share their concerns, but many conservatives cannot defend their own records nor can they reform the reformers, for they have not situated curriculum reform within the problematic of "democratic pluralism" and its vicissitudes (e.g. Lipset's and Raab's The Politics of Unreason (1970), a venue created by "pragmatic" conservatives long before the "tenured radicals" of the 1960s generation began their "Left" stampede).[3]
As an artist and scholar familiar with some of the history of antidemocratic propaganda, psychological warfare, and censorship, I am disappointed and impatient with the scholars who have taken part to date. I see mostly polarization and self-righteousness, little self-criticism or generosity or insight: more feints among different factions of counter-Enlightenment vying for the vanguard position, each waving the banner for humanitarian values and methodological sophistication. I see little robust intellectual confrontation between radicals, liberals and conservatives. And the wars rage on and on, spurred by the dubious appropriations of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and chaos theory.[4] Underneath the chatter and jargon and ad hominem insults to colleagues and to humanity at large, the questions of greatest importance to our survival lie buried; no reform strategies can be formulated without answers, and the questions are susceptible to empirical investigation: Is there or is there not inevitable class exploitation in bourgeois democracies? Can social democratic reform remove what the revolutionary left insists are structural antagonisms? Are contracts between persons, corporations, and nations contracts at all if one party is coerced by the other? And who shall adjudicate disagreements if the weaker party balks? If many people are oppressed, how shall they organize themselves to redress grievances, or should we breed a race of supermen? Are modernization and industrialization really destroying the planet? If so, what, if any, mass activity could halt or reverse the destruction? What are the responsibilities of families, schools, corporations and the media in providing the critical and emotional tools to understand and ameliorate our worsening condition? Have they ever done so?
Here come the masterless men. As hitherto orchestrated and conducted, the culture wars have diverted attention from these life-and-death issues, as perhaps they were intended to, as they have always done. Nor have conservatives admitted the source of their anxieties: the tender moment of late adolescence when young people are separating from families of origin and lacking family responsibilities that later on might discourage political radicalism. Conservative social psychologists applying the lessons of psychological warfare are alert to the power of modern fiction in making subversive notions attractive and acceptible. Take the case of Herman Melville and his "elusive" or "ambivalent" texts, which though apparently conservative or reactionary, have aroused the energies of expert propagandists of the Right who fear his effect on young readers. For instance, some noted psychological warriors have explained how radical messages may be smuggled into harmless appearing fantasies, making stressed readers more receptive to new ideas, ideas they would normally reject as alien if encountered in an explicitly political context:
"…Of crucial significance may be those who are under strain, ambivalent, at once torn between loyalty to patriotic values and to the new values being offered by the communicator. Such a segment may be a crucially important target, and it is necessary to understand the nature of its ambivalence and the implications for psychological warfare possibilities. While such a segment is drawn to the new values, its allegiance to the old is made more compulsive by guilt feeling evoked by its attraction to the new. Among such a population we should expect strong ritualistic conformity which would serve to deny evidences of hospitality to the alien values. Beneath this ritualism, however, we should also expect to find the repressed side of the ambivalence, the side which represents a disposition to espouse the new values.
Research is now needed on the readiness of individuals under strain to accept communications which represent both the expressed and the repressed sides of their ambivalence. It has been suggested that such individuals will reject any overt statement of the repressed side; but that they may pay attention if the repressed value is expressed in fictional form, so that it may be received on the level of fantasy, thus protecting the receiver from the need to decide whether or not he believes, or is willing to accept, such a conflicting value. It is our belief that research along lines such as these would have far reaching operational usefulness for psychological warfare." [5]
[Clare:] Such sophisticated machinations at the highest levels of government suggest why apparently harmless cultural artifacts as the novels students read in high school and college can fluster vigilant ideologues.
Blunted tools have brought us to the current impasse over teaching methods, curriculum, and standards. We are besieged by crazy-making, historically incorrect specters of our own fully feeling, fully thinking selves: The modern artist as slipping Titan, the obsessive Faustian autodidact, the obsequious romantic lover, the miscegenating rootless cosmopolitan, the vindictive muckraker. Their unpardonable sin is the bad news that uncontrollable curiosity and unbalanced temperaments have shoved in our faces: there are or may be class antagonisms that cannot be reconciled by conservative reform, i.e., by negotiation and adjustments that do not severely threaten the economic interests of ruling classes. So the hyper-individualistic "materialistic" Jew is converted to "the [idealist] new historicism"and disappears into "community" as defined by others; the judenrein center finds itself ensconced in the administered state.[6]
1930s intellectuals sometimes called this condition fascism; today it is more benignly labeled 'multiculturalism,' and is touted as the remedy for prejudice, scapegoating, and intolerance. As social policy its longevity has been guaranteed by state, foundation, and university funding. To speak against it incites accusations of Right-wing racism and worse. Don't bother applying for a CPB grant or a job in public broadcasting if you disdain the multicultural narrative of world history as racial/ethnic conflict, the genocide and ecocide perpetrated by "white males" or "the West"–a sad story that new textbooks, curricula, and television or radio programs celebrating "diversity" will bring to a happy end.
Although "Left" and "Right" have been internally at loggerheads over this social policy, all parties agree that insurgent blacks, women, and gays of the New Left initiated and now preside over the new wave of reform. Before that (the early 1970s), an unbroken, unchallenged master narrative of Western progress is said to have reigned in academe and the media. For the hard Right, the narrative was rational, unified and benign; for the hard Left (including anti-imperialist whites, people of color, and women, but not materialists), the narrative was entirely malignant; for the "moderate" critics straddling both positions, the narrative was contradictory and ambiguous, but would be resynthesized with the vigorous new blood and perspectives of the hitherto excluded, the better to launch a really Enlightened non-Marxist New New Left.[7]
My work takes none of these idealist positions, but seeks to document some of the major thinkers and social movements that promoted cultural policies coinciding with their perceived class interests. No materialist has publicized the history of multiculturalism or "identity politics," a history which cannot be deciphered without recalling competing prewar definitions of fascism, protofascism, and antifascism. Hence I reject as ideologically distorted previous attempts to periodize the culture wars. I suspect that the media, publishing, and academe are structurally precluded from describing the origins of this dispute for fear of damage done to the reputations of most postwar "liberal" intellectuals, whether positioned on the Left, Right or Center. Nobody wants to say he has been successful by conforming to pseudo-democratic institutions, in some ways indistinguishable from their analogs in Germany and Italy before 1945; nobody wants to admit he is suffering from a massive failure of nerve.
So-called multiculturalism is a reactionary ideological offensive that confused individuals with groups and suppresses economic explanations for conflict and change in favor of cultural anthropological ones.[8] As a manifestation of German Romanticism, it was an aesthetic theory buttressing a political structure: an irrationalist völkisch "aristo-democracy" (Herder).[9] The German Romantics and their popularizers in England and America, men like Carlyle and Emerson, waved their supple poetic individuality, unique, yet imperceptibly diffused into race and nation and time itself as Schlegel had advised. The aristo-democrats were the blooming correctives to the dessicating "mechanical" rationalism and universalism that had undergirded popular sovereignty for the seventeenth-century political theorist of constitutional democracy, John Locke. In the eighteenth century, Piranesi would visualize this Lockean world in a series of engravings, his nightmarish urban spaces/prisons. Lord Byron counterattacked with Lockean Prometheans, images of indomitable humanity: fatherless, yet kind, ameliorative and intellectually fortified. In the later nineteenth century, Piranesi's desolate, gigantic scenes of torture would reappear in James Thomson's City of Dreadful Night, the City ruled by numeracy and literacy personified in Melencolia, the Queen patterned after both Dürer's famous image of writer's block, and George Eliot, Thomson's contemporary, the realist novelist, author of Felix Holt, Radical.
I have mentioned just a few instances of cultural conflict over accountability: the culture wars are fought over you and me, non-experts in an advanced, complex, and hierarchical, yet "democratic" industrialized society. Confident in the capacity of ordinary people to test their betters, Locke, like ourselves, was up against centuries of conservative antidemocratic propaganda on behalf of a tribal or feudal order where either Nature or arbitrary authority were taken for granted as immovable. Not surprisingly, social obligations (contracts) were vertical, links in the Great Chain of Being, not horizontal agreements between equals, each party theoretically free to walk away from a bad deal. Locke's antagonistic contemporary, the proto-Tory Robert Filmer (d. 1653) summarized centuries of antidemocratic wisdom in his Patriarcha:
[Filmer:] I know not how to give a better character of the people than can be gathered from such authors as have lived among or near to popular states. Thucydides, Xenophon, Livy, Tacitus, Cicero and Sallust have set them out in their colours. I will borrow some of their sentences.
'There is nothing more uncertain than the people: their opinions are as variable and sudden as tempests: there is neither truth nor judgment in them: they are not led by wisdom to judge of anything, but by violence and rashness, nor put they any difference between things true and false. After the matter of cattle they follow the herd that goes before: with envious eyes they behold the felicity of others: they have a custom always to favor the worst and weakest: they are most prone to suspicions, and use to condemn men for guilty upon every false suggestion. They are apt to believe all news, especially if it be sorrowful, and, like Fame, they make it more in the believing: when there is no author, they fear those evils which they themselves have feigned: they are most desirous of new stirs and changes, and are enemies to quiet and rest. Whatsoever is giddy or headstrong, they account manly and courageous, but whatever is modest or provident seems sluggish: each man hath a care of his particular, and thinks basely of the common good: they look upon approaching mischiefs as they do upon thunder, only every man wisheth it may not touch his own person. It is the nature of them: they must either serve basely or domineer proudly, for they know no mean.' Thus do their own friends paint to the life this beast of many heads. Let me give you the cypher of their form of government. As it is begot by sedition, so it is nourished by arms: it can never stand without wars, either with an enemy abroad, or with friends at home. The only means to preserve it is to have some powerful enemy near, who may serve instead of a king to govern it, that so, that they have not a King over them, for the common danger of an enemy keeps them in better unity than the laws they make themselves. [10]
The foil to all this irrationality is of course the reformed queen/king; the paragon of moderation has renounced absolutist, arbitrary rule for a limited, constitutional monarchy: one that protects the body politic from combative and divisive "special interests." Unlike the Cool Head with the Warm Heart, Filmer's "people" are the locus of selfish individualism; the people are incapable of solidarity without an external enemy; the ever-befuddled people lack the self-control to separate inner voices and impulses from the outer world; the people have no self-respect: they may be servile or, given a measure of authority, they will whip their charges to extract obedience; i.e., the barbaric, headlong people have neither the taste nor the capacity for gentleness or politeness. Let them have outlets for their characteristic sadism and masochism, as Geoffrey Gorer proposed in 1934; 'tis better than the trap of romantic love. After the war Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism popularized the notion of protofascist "mob society"–both cynical and gullible–in terms that echoed Filmer. Similarly, Todd Gitlin has claimed that the mounting Right-wing critique of the new curricula is best understood as a frenzied hunt for new scapegoats after the Cold War was won in 1989; Gitlin asserts that the presence of the Other provides the only source of "national identity."
Return now to the seventeenth century. Responding to the autocratic Filmer, John Locke adumbrated his concept of legitimate authority. In the Second Treatise on Civil Government, Locke argued that monarchs were not beyond criticism, nor were the people so unbalanced that they could not assess their own interests and the performance of their protectors:
[Locke:] The end of government is the good of mankind; and which is best for mankind, that the people should always be exposed to the boundless will of tyranny, or that the rulers should be sometimes liable to be opposed when they grow exorbitant in their use of power, and employ it for the destruction, and not the preservation, of the properties of their people?
Nor let anyone say that mischief can arise from hence as often as it shall please a busy head or turbulent spirit to desire the alteration of the government. It is true such men may stir whenever they please, but it will be only to their own just ruin and perdition. For till the mischief be grown general, and the ill designs of the rulers become visible, or their attempts sensible to the greater part of the people, who are more disposed to suffer than right themselves by resistance, are not apt to stir. The example of particular injustice or oppression of here and there an unfortunate man moves them not. But if they universally have a persuasion grounded upon manifest evidence that designs are carrying on against their liberties, and the general course and tendency of things cannot but give them strong suspicions of the evil intentions of their governors, who is to be blamed for it? Who can help it if they, who might avoid it, bring themselves into this suspicion? Are the people to be blamed if they have the sense of rational creatures, and can think of things no otherwise than as they find and feel them? And is it not rather their fault who put things in such a posture that they would not have them thought as they are? I grant that the pride, ambition, and turbulency of private men have sometimes caused great disorders in commonwealths, and factions have been fatal to states and kingdoms. But whether the mischief hath oftener begun in the people's wantonness, and a desire to cast off the lawful authority of their rulers, or in the rulers' insolence and endeavours to get and exercise an arbitrary power over their people, whether oppression or disobedience gave the first rise to the disorder, I leave it to impartial history to determine. This I am sure, whoever, either ruler or subject, by force goes about to invade the rights of either prince or people, and lays the formulation for overturning the constitution and frame of any just government, he is guilty of the greatest crime I think a man is capable of, being to answer for all those mischiefs of blood, rapine, and desolation, which the breaking to pieces of governments bring on a country; and he who does it is justly to be esteemed the common enemy and pest of mankind, and is to be treated accordingly. [11]
Yes, Locke says, there are demagogues, but they would have no credibility were it not for the excesses of the rulers. Taken with his statements on natural law it is clear that Locke is not protecting private property as unlimited personal aggrandizement, but the confiscation of lower-class property and labor by tyrannical rulers–a crucial distinction for those who view Locke as an image of Filmer's people: the possessive individualist par excellence. The radical liberal ideal of one set of rules for rich and poor alike and the assumption of rationalism upon which the rule of law depended was a radical innovation; it remains an advanced position and belongs in the democratic tradition, notwithstanding efforts to brand Locke as a hypocrite.[12]
Tories and Whigs crucially differed on the educational potential of "the people." If Nature's God was a democrat for the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century progressive bourgeois, organic conservatives reclaimed Nature for the aristocracy. In antebellum America, Filmer's good fathers were models for socially responsible slaveholders contrasting their benevolent paternalism with the cruelty of northern laissez-faire capitalism and class struggle. Indeed, the distinguished historian of the South, C.Vann Woodward, a participant in the Martha's Vineyard conference on "Racism and Education" revived the southern apologist for slavery George Fitzhugh to lobby for organic conservatism as antidote to today's mass society.[13] Filmer's image of "the people" would be indistinguishable from "the unconscious" in the social psychology espoused by many in the twentieth-century Progressive movement–conservative reformers responding to the rapid growth of industrialism and class warfare that Northern victory in the Civil War facilitated. Mass "irrationality" remains the argument for the eternal rule of philosopher-kings operating "in the public interest" in bureaucratic collectivist societies. While Lockean ideas of the common good have been co-opted, Filmer's theory shades upper-class secret machinations from the blazing eyes of the lower orders. The unresolved debate between Filmer and Locke frames this essay; our models of human capacity determine our politics as we face "the mischief…grown general" on our endangered planet.
Are we coping with the decadence of 'late capitalism' (as I thought when I began graduate school in 1983) or are we living in societies that remain dominated by pre-modern social relations, and that have not made "the transition from feudalism to capitalism" (as Marxists formulate the problem)? Is Marx more accurately seen as a product of German Romanticism, left-sounding, but right-wing and reactionary in his organic social model? The American Progressives/progressives were conservative reformers whose English counterparts were Burkean gradualists and social democratic Fabians. In all my published work, I have taken Marxists[14] and progressives to task for ignoring a feature of modernity, the double-bind, that could have helped them to explain and combat racism, antisemitism, and the social forces that have led to mass death. The double-bind is omnipresent in the modern family and the university, both pseudo-liberal socializing institutions in a muddled society.[15] I suggested that class-conscious double-bind theory is more relevant to the appeal of Nazism than social psychological concepts of "scapegoating" or projective identification so reminiscent of Filmer's ostensibly objective portrait of "the [socially irresponsible] people…fear[ing] those evils which they themselves have feigned"; then I applied "the switch" (or is it the magic wand?) to the cases of utopian reformers and disillusioned radicals.[16] Elsewhere on this website, I reviewed some influential definitions of antisemitism, suggesting that we refine our understanding of the processes that legitimate mass death.
As the alternative to völkisch social psychology and the non-explanatory "empiricism," "functionalism," or "theory" it has spawned, I propose a return to individual biography but with greater attention to historically specific psychodynamics, archival research, and close reading than, to knowledge, has been applied, not only with regard to the actors we study, but to our own defenses as we distance ourselves from "extremists" like Hitler. My work as a whole is an attempt at a materialist psychoanalysis, one inseparable from an intellectual and social history of institutions, movements, and individuals; like Freud in The Future of An Illusion (1927), forthrightly rejecting the "humanist" idea that science and religion can peacefully coexist, that science and history are branches of literary theory, cultural anthropology, or comparative religion (though religion may provide the vocabulary with which political conflict is described). Above all, I emphasized that the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century spawned an inductive method of investigation, an entirely open-ended journey, a leap into the unknown. It is specious to claim, as various political factions are wont to do, that "the Enlightenment" necessarily leads variously to fascism and genocide, or social democracy, or unregulated capitalism or socialism. Such narrow politicking proceeds with a deductive method that cannot co-exist with science or humanitarian values: most particularly for our purposes, with God-like confidence the (moderate) conservative reformers pronounce their grand principle: The Jewish God is bigoted, YAHWEH's effluent, bourgeois society, is bigoted: let there be Multiculturalism, let the Crumbs drop from Massa's Table.
[1] For cultural nationalists, the mosaic represents "self-reliance" as expressed in economic autarky, the unit being the ethnic nation. Such organization would make it difficult for workers to unite across "ethnic" or "cultural" lines. By biological determinism, I do not mean that the followers of Herder had a materialist understanding of the natural sciences. As John Crowe Ransom or Eric Voegelin understood the völkisch idea of a national culture, there would be a spiritual uniformity in a people who had interacted for a lengthy period with their specific material environment, evolving into a balanced relationship with nature and each other. This was the point of T.S. Eliot's famous remark (1933) about limiting the number of freethinking Jews in the interest of local stability. See Ransom's crucial essay "The Aesthetic of Regionalism," AR Vol. 2 (Jan 1934): 290-310, for an elucidation of scientistic localism that infuses contemporary concepts of multiculturalism and compare to Herder's concept of nationality as described by Eric Voegelin, The History of the Race Idea (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State UP, 1989).
[2] Until I read the political sociologist Eric Voegelin on the history of the race idea, I did not understand this point. Voegelin rejected the concept of "race" as too materialist because of its biological implications. Instead he embraced Herder's seminal idea of cultural nationalism.
[3] See the tone set by Roger Kimball, Tenured Radicals: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Education (N.Y.: Harper and Row, 1990): "…the men and women who are paid to introduce students to the great works and ideas of our civilization have by and large remained true to the emancipationist ideology of the sixties" (xiv)…a new form of thought control based on a variety of pious new-left slogans and attitudes (xvi)…The denunciations of the "hegemony" of Western culture and liberal institutions that are sounded so insistently within our colleges and universities these days are not idle chatter, but represent a concerted effort to attack the very foundations of the society that guarantees the independence of cultural and artistic life–including the independence of our institutions of higher education (xviii)." The radical canon includes Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche (7); quoting Schiller, Kimball praises dissent and complains that the tenured radicals now occupy the moderate center (188-89).
Few have challenged Kimball's periodization of the "P.C." debate, nor are the "radical" challenges to the canon seen as élite initiatives, in which a folkish idea has been co-opted and nervously managed by the corporatist liberals on behalf of social stability. See for instance Gregory S. Jay, "The First Round of the Cultural Wars," The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2/26/92, B 1-2: The move toward multiculturalism emanated from academic "have-nots" after the 1960s. Also the militant Heterodoxy, edited by David Horowitz and Peter Collier, Vol.1, #1, "PC Cover-Up," which argues that left-over Stalinist progeny, 1960s veterans of the New Left, are fighting a rear-guard action which "must be fought to conclusion": the future of America hangs in the balance. The writers decry the apocalyptic mentality of "the Left," chiliastic originators of twentieth-century brutality. [added 1/5/2010: since I wrote this note, I have tended to share the Horowitz-Collier sense of urgency, especially after studying the vogue for Maoism on the Left and chiliasm on parts of the Right.]
A similar urgency informs a more recent debate on PBS (McNeil-Lehrer, 10-26-94) between Lynn Cheney, former head of NEH, and Professor Gary Nash, director of the UCLA National Center for History in the Schools which has produced a curriculum guidebook for grades 5-12 (flexible and adaptable to local conditions and preferences, according to New York Times, 10-26-94, B-8). Cheney charged that the forces of political correctness have triumphed in the historical profession, and are destroying belief in a flawed, but on balance, great nation; Nash defended his guidebook as "a revolution" in the teaching of history, which will deemphasize "dates, facts, and names" in favor of critical inquiry into an evolving history which is always "provisional and contingent," sensitive to the presence of women and minorities (labor not mentioned in the TV program, though Nash's Urban Crucible celebrates the role of radical artisans in the American Revolution). When charged by Cheney with denigrating all wealth (but not that of an African king) Nash contrasted Carnegie with Rockefeller. Both Cheney and Nash say they want a critical approach to US history; both agree that a revolution is in progress. Joyce Appleby, president of the American Historical Association sees the culture wars as the chief struggle of our times (conversation with the author).
[4] See Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt, Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Science (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994) for a spirited attack on such appropriations and all anti-Enlightenment tendencies in the humanities. The authors (who seem sympathetic to sociobiology) suggest that scientists may go their own way, teaching the humanities themselves if the present situation is not remedied.

[6] I am adopting the formulation of generic fascism as a centrist social movement that has obliterated liberalism, forcing agreement between the goals and interests of capital and labor, as suggested by David Stephen Lewis, Illusions of Grandeur: Mosley, Fascism and British Society 1931-81 (University of Manchester Press, 1987).
[7] For the latest example of the moderate position, see Todd Gitlin, The Twilight of Common Dreams: Why America is Wracked by Culture Wars (N.Y.: Henry Holt, 1995).
[8] If ethnic and gender studies were organized to deal with populations as they have been historically defined by others and often themselves, then there would be no objection from anti-racists. Such programs need not ignore class issues, nor need they mythologize in search for glorious ancestors. However, these programs were institutionalized in response to status group politics, and tend to reinforce biological determinism by their very organization. As I have argued at public meetings, the separation of gender and "racial" issues in special programs has served as an excuse for "regular" curricula to ignore the needs expressed by previously excluded groups to see society and history as a whole. See David A. Hollinger, "Postethnic America," Contention 4 (Fall 1992): 79-86, for an interpretation that superficially resembles my own; however, he does not look to the possible structural incapacity of our society to respond to the social democratic reforms he proposes, or the structural antagonisms that make "common ground" a utopian wish or a tactical compromise.
[9] F.M. Barnard, Herder's Social and Political Thought From Enlightenment to Nationalism (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1965): Chapter IV. J.G. Herder (1744-1803) is credited with the founding of social psychology, cultural anthropology, and comparative literature in various interpretative works (see above).

[12] See Robert Brenner, Merchants and Revolution (Princeton U.P. 1993). The high point of popular sovereignty was attained during 1643 in the rising of London radicals in the English Civil War. The radical puritans were defeated by the Independents or oligarichic republicans; the voice of the people (vox populi)was replaced by the (returning) voice of public safety or public health (salus populi). Locke would seemingly conform to the latter, but as Brenner states, the Independents' politics, with all their limitations, were more progressive than anything preceding or following in England. David Hume considered Locke a troublemaking Whig. See Robin Blackburn [Caribbean slavery] for a more critical assessment of Locke's politics.
[13] George Fitzhugh, Cannibals All! or, Slaves Without Masters, ed. C. Vann Woodward (Harvard paperback, 1960): viii, xiv. Woodward sees Fitzhugh's critique as relevant to societies which, although rejecting Communism, suffer from "mass production, mass organization, and mass culture"; Fitzhugh is linked to "Young England, Disraeli, and Tory socialism."
[14]I am trying to distinguish between those aspects of Marx's thought that were original, and those that were already part of the critical apparatus of Western thinkers. Vico for instance, recognized the importance of class conflict as the engine of history; see Isaiah Berlin, Vico and Herder . Once Marx's contributions are historicized, what is left apart from a cyclical view of history with elements of classical and Christian thought? The old order is doomed, like all social organisms, it must decay. The antithesis of the bourgeoisie, the increasingly desperate and immiserated working class, naturally free of the corruptions of money, will be the reinvigorator of society. The State will wither away once money has lost its power to pervert the body politic. What if Marx did not stand Hegel on his head?
[15] See my article "Who's Crazy Now? An Essay Dedicated to Christopher Hill," UCLA Historical Journal Vol.10, 1990; Enter Isabel: The Herman Melville Correspondence of Clare Spark and Paul Metcalf, ed. Paul Metcalf (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1991) for more substantial explorations of double-binds in Melville's family and in the discourse of progressive reformers, most recently in declassified documents from the Psychological Strategy Board, 1951-53. Double-bind theory was used by Gregory Bateson and R.D. Laing in the 1950s and 1960s, but limited to the instance of the schizophrenia-inducing, cold/seductive mother sending mixed signals to sons. See Carlos E. Sluzki and Donald C. Ransom, editors, Double-Bind: The Foundation of the Communicational Approach to the Family (N.Y.: Grune and Stratton, 1976): 11. Conducive to schizophrenia is "the absence of anyone in the family, such as a strong and insightful father, who can intervene in the relationship between the mother and child and support the child in the face of the contradictions involved." With Melville's guidance and the experience of years in "alternative" journalism, then my graduate education, I have applied it to all liberal institutions caught in the uneven transition between hierarchical and egalitarian social relations.
[16] Cf. Jerry Z. Muller, The Other God That Failed: Hans Freyer and the Deradicalization of German Conservatism (Princeton: Princeton U.P., 1987): 17. Muller argues that disillusioned Nazis continued to be skeptical of the Enlightenment, whereas ex-communists became liberals and social democrats. I argue that "late capitalism"squashes its democrats (left-liberal materialists), producing conservatives who claim the scientific openness and objectivity of the revolutionary bourgeoisie, but do not necessarily practice it.

Pinellas County, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Willie Brown, a 58-year-old Lealman man was jailed Wednesday after he repeatedly stabbed his roommate during an argument over a radio station.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Brown and his roommate, 72-year-old Abraham Shedrack, got into a heated argument after disagreeing about what radio station to listen to.
Investigators say the argument, fueled by alcohol, quickly turned violent when Brown stabbed his roommate outside their mobile home at least 10 times during the confrontation.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital and is expected to survive the attack.
Brown was booked into jail and charged with attempted murder.

Sathorn Map
Bangkok Maps
High rise buildings, gleaming corporate head offices. These towers of power make up the ultra modern skyline around Sathorn Road, Bangkok's 21st century business district. Stretching from Lumpini Park south to the river, Sathorn contains some of the smartest of Bangkok's chic new hotels like the Metropolitan, the Sukhothai and the Banyan Tree. The area has also has some excellent restaurants serving both a business and embassy clientele. Bangkok's Skytrain (overhead rail system) runs along the southern part of Sathorn terminating at the riverfront. Here you can catch a boat to the historical sights like the Grand Palace or to the riverside hotels like the Oriental, Peninsula or Shangri-La. The northern part of Sathorn is well served by taxis. At the other end, is Lumpini Park, Bangkok's largest green area and a great place for people watching.

The Crown has taken the unprecedented step of helping fund Ngapuhi hapu claimants to prevent a funding crisis holding up Waitangi Tribunal hearings to settle Treaty grievances, due to start next month.
The move follows the claimants last week telling the tribunal they suspected the Crown and Crown Forestry Rental Trust (CFRT) were conspiring to prevent their claims being fully investigated in the tribunal's Te Paparahi o Te Raki inquiry.
The conspiracy fear follows a CRFT trustees' decision earlier in the week not to change a December resolution declining a request for funding for the first seven weeks of stage 2 hearings of the inquiry.
It is understood claimants require up to $400,000 to cover hosting and other costs they face for the first seven weeks of the 21-week stage 2 hearings programme. Lack of funding is disrupting years of claimant work toward reaching settlement.
In December, the CFRT said it had declined the funding request because the application for the money was made by CFRT staff and not by a claimant group.
Last week, CRFT chairwoman Angela Foulkes advised claimants the request had been turned down a second time because funding could not be approved without an approved client of the trust being involved.
And during Waitangi Day commemorations at Waitangi, CFRT trustees Maanu Paul, Sir Eddie Durie and Ms Foulkes had given Te Kotahitanga representatives three different versions of what was happening and why.
Mr Paul said the funding application simply needed to be in Te Kotahitanga's name.
His Maori Council co-chairman, Sir Eddie Durie, said the request had to be made by a group representative of hapu and iwi and implied Te Kotahitangi needed the support of Tuhoronuku, the Ngapuhi Runanga committee involved in the settlement process.
Claimants said Sir Eddie had also said unofficially he did not support the 21-week stage 2 hearing programme, so that was a further reason for him declining the funding.
Ms Foulkes had told Te Kotahitanga to "do nothing" and let CRFT staff deal with the issue internally.
And CRFT staff had told the claimants it was too late for any funding application submitted in Te Kotahitanga's name to be considered at CFRT's meeting last week.
The reason CFRT now declined the application was the result of a new funding process introduced by CFRT, Te Kotahitanga and the counsel committee said.
Tribunal presiding officer Judge Craig Coxhead was sympathetic and on Tuesday the Crown announced it would "make an exception" and fund the first two weeks of the hearings.
"It is not Crown policy for the Office of Treaty Settlements to make a contribution to claimant participation in the Waitangi Tribunal process," the Crown said in a letter sent to the tribunal and claimants.
"In this case, however, because the CFRT decision was communicated just a month before (the stage 2 inquiry) start date the Crown has decided to make an exception.
"Due to the extraordinary circumstances, Cabinet has approved (funding) on a strictly one-off basis, for a Crown contribution to claimant preparation in the initial hearings."
The interim measure was to ensure the hearing timetable would not be delayed.

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger says the sale of David Dein's shares will not effect his work, his new contract or their friendship.
On Thursday it was announced that the former vice-chairman had been installed as chairman of the Red & White group after trading his 14.86 per cent stake to joint owners Alisher Usmanov and Farhad Moshiri. The news dominated his pre-match press conference on Friday. But Wenger's stance was clear - the deal changed nothing.
"David decided to sell his shares because he was outside the Club now and everybody can understand that," said the Frenchman. "He got rewarded with a good deal for the quality of his work because the shares have gone up. For the rest nothing has changed [because] the structure of the shares is the same.
"At the moment we have 50 per cent shares inside the board and 50 per cent outside, which are very much shared. Who will go with who I don't know and basically it's not my problem.
"Personally I cannot sell one share because I have none and don't want to help anybody. I don't want to be involved in a strategic struggle for shares because I consider myself an employee who wants to do well for the Club.
"Yes I've retained my friendship with David, which is important. Whether he's inside or outside the Club he's my friend. I have a big responsibility inside the Club to do my best for them. Whether David's inside or outside that is exactly the same. I just want to do well for the Club."
The manager also indicated that a decision over his future would be announced next week.

Singapore Stocks: Genting, Midas, Noble Group, Yanlord Land
Singapore's Straits Times Index dropped 0.5 percent to 3,097.35 at the close. Almost two stocks fell for each that rose on the 30-member gauge.
Shares on the measure trade at an average 15.2 times estimated earnings, compared with about 17.4 times at the beginning of the year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The following shares were among the most active in the market. Stock symbols are in parentheses after company names.
Genting Singapore Plc (GENS SP), owner of one of two casino resorts in the city-state, declined 3.5 percent to S$1.95. The company said its president and chief operating officer, Tan Hee Teck, sold 900,000 shares at S$2.05 each in the open market. Tan continues to hold 1.15 million Genting shares after the sale.
Midas Holdings Ltd. (MIDAS SP), a supplier of aluminum extrusion profiles used in train carriages, decreased 3.5 percent to 96 Singapore cents. The company said its initial share sale in Hong Kong was priced at HK$5.43 apiece, the equivalent of 92.5 Singapore cents. Midas, whose trading was suspended earlier today, resumed trading at 4:00 p.m. local time.
Noble Group Ltd. (NOBL SP), a Hong Kong-based commodities supplier, slipped 2.1 percent to S$1.87. OCBC Investment Research cut its rating on the stock to "hold" from "buy."
Olam International Ltd. (OLAM SP), the Singapore-based commodities trader, increased 1.3 percent to S$3.22. Merging with Louis Dreyfus Commodities is the "desired outcome" of ongoing talks for a tie-up with the world's largest rice and cotton trader continue, Olam Chief Executive Officer Sunny Verghese said today in an interview in Sydney.
Yanlord Land Group Ltd. (YLLG SP), a China-based developer, fell 2.8 percent to S$1.73. The Chinese government will announce a new round of property tightening measures "soon," targeting second- and third-home loans, China Business News reported today, without citing anyone.

Girls und Panzer OVA 01
Well, Miho, that's a serious issue! Time to get you some!
(seriously, you live on a ship, how can you NOT have at least one swimsuit?)
Trust Yukari to know all the "special" spots catered to enthusiasts. But seriously, this shop sure knows its shit.
…. uh, that's a pretty weird design albeit somewhat daring.
I am okay with this!
That's very cute. Approved.
Okay, now we're crossing in to Yukari territory.
….. goddamnit, those "secret weapons" of Yukari. Seriously, this girl!
Oh okay, we're back to the "unique" ones.
…. oh god, Yukari. Why are you so perfect?
Hahaha, we're not going on infiltration missions here. That's your job anyways! Miho's the Commander!
Meanwhile, at the History Club…
Yeah, this group is way beyond "enthusiast" and straight in "maniac" territory deep.
Okay, Volleyball group. That's just going a biiiiiiiiiiiit too far there.
Right, I don't even want to know what the fuck the first years are all thinking.
Poor Miho…. it must really tiring with these girls sometimes.
Wait, what? Yukariiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
Oh wow, she truly is the best. As expected of the Intelligence Officer.
Well, in the end, everyone still got pretty cute swimsuits. Not bad, not bad.
… unfortunately, the weather isn't so cooperating.
Well, the OVA was much shorter than I expected, but it was still a fun addition to the franchise. Looks like all that pent-up fanservice quotient sure got used up for this OVA.
Yukari was quite the show stealer, with all her swimsuit recommendations. Plus those hidden "weapons" of hers. Man, it's almost magic. Of course, not to forget how she has those eyes.. "I can tell by looking" indeed wwww
Ah well, still another 3 months before the final two episodes ;_;. There should be another blu-ray release with the second OVA end of next month to tide us over… till then, PANZER VOR!

We had booked for 3 nights at Schindia (which is next to the burning ghat where they cremate up to 200 bodies a day with usually 6 woodpile fires going continuously) We have to walk around the fires each time we want to go to the main ghat and after the first couple of times we made sure we didnt focus on the fires as for some reason they always leave the legs hanging out from the wood pile.
We found out yesterday when I rang to confirm our flight to Nepal that Indian Airlines has cancelled Wednesday flights. (tourist numbers are down due to the publicity about ongoing Maoists problems - scared many off even though tourists are only involved if by accident). This means another day in Varanasi but it is the most fascinating and beautiful place that it's no hardship - except we really cant stand the atmosphere at our GH - the guys a pig wo weve moved out this morning down to the main Ghat for one night stay at Alka GH.
The room is better and the view just as amazing and its onlyA$20 a night - should have stayed here all 4 nights - and the staff are so happy, smiley, talkative.. etc etc.. like all our past places so this is a much nicer place to have a final goodbye to India in.
As to Varanasi..... sorry but its too exhausting to even try and describe what it is like.... Ive tried in my head and its not possible.... so only fair for it to end up with my most used word for India on my travelpod AMAZING...... instead Im going to put lots of photos on this link instead.... and no photo comes close to showing what it really looks, sounds, smells like here..
Thank god this diary of India is finished!!!!!! - dont know if its burnt me out to start again for Nepal. Ill definitely write it long hand as Ive found doing this has made me remember and enjoy things that I think I may have lost... all the little things that are the special ones... like that baby camel...... yep AMAZING INDIA

Memorial Day weekend is around the corner. Many families take advantage of the holiday to spend time with loved ones.
In fact, 35.1 million Americans traveled more than 50 miles from their home on Memorial Day weekend in 2012, according to AAA.
If you're among those getting out of town during the coming three-day weekend -- whether to a forest, beach, mountain or somewhere else -- try these cost-cutting measures.
1. Drive instead of flying
Unless you're traveling solo, it's usually more cost-efficient to drive instead of fly. Even if you're traveling alone, driving is sometimes cheaper, especially in a fuel-efficient car.
For example, driving from Raleigh, North Carolina, to New York City covers a distance of 491 miles each way. If your car gets a combined city/highway average of 30 miles per gallon, and fuel prices are $3.70 per gallon, the round trip will cost about $121 in fuel.
You'd be lucky to score an airline ticket for one person at such a low price, and the moment you're traveling with multiple people, the choice becomes clear.
Of course, there are cons to driving. For starters, you lose two days in transit. But there are generally always tradeoffs between time and money when you're trying to be more frugal.
2. Book motels or vacation rentals
Do you view your hotel as simply a place to sleep? If you don't plan on spending much time in your hotel, try booking a low-cost motel such as a Super 8, Motel 6 or Howard Johnson.
On the other hand, if your accommodation is a critical part of the vacation experience, look for vacation rentals on websites like Airbnb.com or VRBO.com. These are often cheaper than hotels because they're offered directly by the owners, who don't have as much overhead.
Furthermore, vacation rentals typically feature full kitchens, which allow you to prepare meals that are cheaper than what you would find at a restaurant.
3. Eat foods that need no preparation
If you want to create your own meals but do not have a kitchen, choose foods that require no preparation, like fresh fruit, nuts, and deli sandwiches and salads.
It is fine to dine out occasionally during your vacation. But save restaurant meals for times when you are looking for an "experience" that will create memories you will cherish for years to come.

What's the right treatment strategy for my facial mole? (photo)
I was born with the mole as seen in the attachment (am in my early thirties now). It hasn't changed in size or color in the recent two years but probably has over a longer time period.
Doctor Answers 3
Mole removal
The two best options for removing your mole would be by shave removal or punch excision. A shave removal involves tangentially removing the raised mole at the base in line with the surface on the surrounding skin. The risk in this procedure is that because the mole is raised it has a deeper root to it and shaving it off may not remove it completely. It may grow back partially and result in return of part of the dark pigment. A punch excision involves using a small tool to core around and deep to the root of the mole. After the mole is removed sutures are used to close the defect. This will likely remove all of the mole but it is possible you may have a more apparent scar. I would opt for the former option and if any of the mole returns you can always have it further excised later. Both procedures do not take long to do in the office.
Dark moles are usually best excised.
Excision of the dark mole and closed up with a couple of tiny sutures after dermabrading the edges would give the nicest outcome for roughly $350. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Treatment of facial mole
If you would like the mole near your eyebrow removed, I would say you have two main options. The mole could be shaved off, but it is possible that some of the pigment could remain even though it would be flat. The other option would be to excise the mole and you would need to have some sutures placed to close it. Either procedure could be done in the office fairly easily.

FISHKILL, N.Y. - Getting 8 1/3 innings from redshirt junior Shane Davis and scoring five
runs with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, the Canisius College baseball
team won its opening game in the first round of the 2010 MAAC Championship,
with a 7-5 win over Manhattan at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill, N.Y. on
Wednesday afternoon.
No. 1 seed Canisius advances to the winners' bracket game on Thursday evening at 7 p.m., where the Golden Griffins will play the No. 3 seed Rider Broncs. Rider beat Marist 10-7 on Wednesday night, setting up Thursday's action, which will feature Marist and Manhattan in the first elimination game, set to start at 3 p.m.
After Manhattan scored one in the top of the third, Canisius took control of the game with a six-run bottom of the fourth inning. Senior designated hitter Ian Choy drove in the first run with a fielder's choice to second base that allowed junior Will Chomicki to score, and moments later, junior Brian Burton had a two-RBI, opposite-field single to right that allowed Choy and senior Perry Silverman to score. After Manhattan made a pitching change, senior Shayne Willson greated Manhattan reliever Mike Gazzola by driving a 2-2 pitch to the gap in left-center for a double to knocked in two runs. Fellow senior Paul Panik drove in the final run of the inning when he stroked a single to center that allowed Willson to score.
Canisius added an insurance run in the home half of the sixth when junior Steve McQuail took the first pitch of the frame over the fence and deep into the wooded area behind the left field fence. Those runs would prove to be enough for Davis, as he earned his sixth-straight win over Manhattan in a starting role.
The Jaspers did mount a comeback in the top half of the ninth when Manhattan scored two runs, but Willson came in from right to close the door by getting the final two outs in the ninth. Davis allowed five runs, three earned, on seven hits while striking out three. Davis improves to 3-0 in three MAAC Championship starts, with all three wins coming over Manhattan. Eric Luksis took the loss for the Jaspers after he allowed five runs on four hits while walking seven and striking out two.
For the Griffs, Sean Jamieson went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles while McQuail and Burton each had multiple hits on the day. Manhattan's Austin Sheffield had two hits in the losing effort for Manhattan, which fell to 30-19 with the loss.GAME NOTES: This marks the first time Canisius won its first round MAAC Tournament game... The Griffs were 0-4 prior to Wednesday's victory... The win also was the program's first at Dutchess Stadium... McQuail moved his hitting streak to 14 games, while Burton, Jamieson and Willson all moved their hit streaks to seven games... Canisius is now 12-3 this season when Davis starts... Willson now has a save in two straight games, dating back to last Friday at Niagara.
