Few watched for the simple reason that no one could tell what he was seeing. The opening half-hour had been bewildering enough, but at least it was fairly apparent in those first 30 miles who held the lead. As the field approached 40 miles, tires started to blow. Belcher's Knox, Wishart's Mercedes and several other cars were among the first to hobble into the pits. It took some crews only two minutes to change a tire, others eight or 10 or 15, and no one was timing these stops officially, so the already debatable running order became inscrutable. To compound the chaos, some cars were crossing the finish line and then backing up to their pit, so they (perhaps inadvertently) got credit for a whole additional lap when they emerged and traveled a few feet back across the line. And the worst breaches of order and continuity were yet to come.
What made all this especially maddening was that the race was proceeding exactly as everyone had expected it would, given the natural antagonism between bricks and tires: the smarter drivers, like Harroun, were going at the relatively easy pace of 75 miles an hour or so in an attempt to keep pit stops to a minimum, just as they had said they would in pre-race interviews. You might think that such a conservative and formful contest would help the clocking and scoring officials in their labors. But no. As the trade publication Horseless Age put it, "The system...did not work as expected, merely because the cars were so numerous and tore around so fast." In other words, if only there hadn't been a car race at the Speedway that day, the Warner Horograph would have functioned just fine.
A few writers—a largely ignored minority, to be sure—were frank about the problems. "The workers at the great score boards...keep very bad tally on the laps that each car makes," wrote newspaperman Crittenden Marriott, whose on-deadline dispatch has held up well. "Hundreds of amateur mathematicians do sums upon their cuffs and find that the pace is 70 to 75 miles an hour, a speed that the survivors maintain till the end." The New York Times: "It was acknowledged that the timing device was out of repair...for an hour during the race." (Some sources had the downtime as considerably longer.) No one sounded more exasperated than the influential weekly Motor Age, which dismissed the race as "a spectacle rather than a struggle for supremacy between great motor cars." There were "too many cars on the track. The spectator could not follow the race."
Most reporters, realizing that a conventional story was easier to compose on deadline than an exposé (and, no doubt, that Speedway publicist C. E. Shuart had been covering their drink tabs), acted as if the race had a coherent storyline. The writers did this partly by guessing at what they were seeing and by agreeing to agree on certain premises. But mostly they accepted the Speedway's official version of events as disseminated by Shuart—even though it did not always jibe with the venue's scoreboards, and would change substantially when the judges issued their Revised Results the next day. What any one of these spoon-fed reporters had to say about the running order is mostly worthless. But by braiding their accounts, and occasionally referencing the Revised Results, we can begin to recreate a very rough version of the race.
The dashing David Bruce-Brown, we can say with a fair amount of certainty, played an important role. Virtually all the writers agreed that his Fiat, leading when the Amplex plunged into the infield on lap 13, was still ahead when the field began to stream past the 40-mile mark. At 50 miles, though, accounts diverge. Most dailies said "the millionaire speed maniac" remained on top, but the Horseless Age, in an issue that appeared the day after the race, had Johnny Aitken and his No. 4 National back in front at this point, with Bruce-Brown second and Ralph DePalma third. The Speedway's Revised Results, meanwhile, put DePalma in the lead at mile 50, followed by Bruce-Brown, then Aitken.
Virtually all sources converge again at mile 60, where they have DePalma ahead, and most also say Bruce-Brown reclaimed the lead soon after and held it for a good long while. At mile 140, some sources place Bruce-Brown a full three laps, or seven and a half miles, ahead of DePalma, with Ralph Mulford and his No. 33 Lozier third. As for Harroun, he had been riding as far back as tenth place for most of the race by some estimates, but he moved into second place at mile 150. Or so said some sources.
The second significant accident of the day occurred at mile...well, here we go again. The Star said it was the 125th mile, the Horseless Age between the 150th and 160th miles when Teddy Tetzlaff, a California driver on Mulford's Lozier team, blew a tire and crashed into Louis Disbrow's No. 5 Pope-Hartford, seriously injuring the Lozier riding mechanic, Dave Lewis, and taking both cars out of the competition. The Revised Results have Disbrow dropping out of the race after about 115 miles and Tetzlaff leaving with mechanical problems after a mere 50. So by the Speedway's lights the participants weren't racing when their accident occurred and Lewis did not officially fracture his pelvis.
At mile 158, Harroun pitted and turned his car over to a fellow Pennsylvanian named Cyrus Patschke. At about mile 185, Bruce-Brown blew a tire and made his first pit stop of the day, and Patschke took the lead. In the opinion of every reporter at the Speedway, and according to the initial data provided by the Horograph, Patschke reached the 200-mile mark first. The Revised Results, however, have it Bruce-Brown, DePalma, Patschke.
The buffs who still chat about such matters know that May 30, 1911, was not the finest hour for the steering knuckle (the automobile part that allows the front wheels to pivot). Several knuckles had given way early in the day, and at about 205 miles, relief driver Eddie Parker broke the one on the No. 18 Fiat and spun out at the top of the homestretch. Though not a serious mishap—no one was hurt and Parker got out and with a few others pushed his car a few hundred yards into the pits—it set the stage for what steering knuckle historians know as the Big One.
As the leaders, whoever they were, came down the homestretch on what is officially said to be mile 240, Joe Jagersberger's red and gray No. 8 Case bounced off the concrete retaining wall on the outer part of the track and skidded diagonally toward the infield, traveling perhaps 100 feet. Jagersberger's riding mechanic, Charles Anderson, fell or perhaps jumped in panic out of the vehicle and wound up underneath it, lying on his back; one of the Case's rear wheels passed directly over his chest. He was able to get up, however, or at least begin to—when he saw Harry Knight bearing down on him in the battleship gray No. 7 Westcott.

Maureen O'Sullivan: Lies and The Truth Wizards (6/29/09)
Maureen O'Sullivan, Ph.D.
O'Sullivan has devoted several years to the study of lies and liars. Of the over 13,000 people she has tested for the ability to detect deception, she found just 31, who she refers to as "Wizards." O'Sullivan will discuss her work studying these Wizards and how they use microexpressions – facial changes that last less than a second – to catch liars in the act.
This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on June 29, 2009.

The plan took a number of different forms: a two-dimensional drawing, then a 4′ by 12′ architectural scale model and finally, a book entitled, A Plan for the Hoboken Waterfront. After a second referendum victory in 1992, the City of Hoboken agreed to work with representatives of community groups, including FBW, to create a plan for the Hoboken waterfront. In February of 1995, the City of Hoboken adopted an amended redevelopment plan for the south waterfront that embraced nearly all of the principles advocated by FBW. Nearly half of the site is devoted to public open space. The piers, that formerly were to be platforms for the development of 1.6 million square feet of residential and commercial development in the Hudson River under the 1990 City of Hoboken/Port Authority proposal, now comprise the southern portion of Hoboken's continuous, public waterfront park.
FBW has also worked to spread its success in Hoboken to other communities. For three years, FBW worked with a community group in Weehawken to develop a "community plan" for 142 prime acres of waterfront in that township. FBW has also assisted waterfront communities in Jersey City, Edgewater and Bayonne, and has provided Hoboken waterfront tours to countless people, including groups from Brooklyn, NY, Philadelphia, PA and New York City.
In Hoboken, FBW's successful battles over the past twenty years have helped to build a waterfront park that is now 80% complete. The opportunity to finish the few missing links in Hoboken's waterfront park is now tantalizingly close and would result in a prototype for waterfront planning.

LONDON/MILAN, May 24 (Reuters) - European shares rose to their highest point in almost 4 weeks on Tuesday as firmer financial stocks lifted the region's equity markets.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 and STOXX 600 indexes were both up 2.2 at 1431 GMT, extending earlier gains helped by a weakening euro and a reversal of crude oil prices into positive territory.
Sentiment was also underpinned by comments from European Central Bank supervisory chief Daniele Nouy, who said the bank was working on new proposals for non-performing loans that remain one of the biggest problems for the region's economy.

"Man For All Seasons" Scofield dies at 86
By Paul Majendie
LONDON (Reuters) - Paul Scofield, hailed as one of the great British actors of his generation and awarded an Oscar for his haunting performance in "A Man For All Seasons," has died aged 86 of leukemia, his agent said on Thursday.
Scofield, a fiercely private actor who spurned the limelight, had the power, voice and presence to outdo any other classical actor with unforgettable performances in roles ranging from Shakespeare's King Lear to a homosexual barber in the comedy "Staircase."
But the glitter of Hollywood did not appeal and he was quite happy never to match the glamour of his contemporaries Richard Burton and Laurence Olivier.
"Of the 10 greatest moments in the theatre, eight are Scofield's," Burton once said of him.
Agent Rosalind Chatto said Scofield died peacefully at a hospital near his home in Sussex on Wednesday. "He had leukemia and had not been well for some time," she told Reuters.
Hollywood's Academy Award as best actor of 1966 went to Scofield for his masterly portrayal of Sir Thomas More, who chose to be executed by King Henry VIII rather than betray his conscience, in the film "A Man For All Seasons."
The film was adapted by author Robert Bolt from his play in which Scofield was acclaimed on stages in London and New York.
Despite a volley of offers from Hollywood, Scofield chose a much lower profile, making few more films but still erupting on to the stage in such roles as Othello and Macbeth. Continued...

London (CNSNews.com) - The dismantling of four former U.S. Navy ships at a dock in northern England could face delays after an environmental group won the first round of a court case this week.
The ships, part of a fleet of 13 boats scheduled to be destroyed by Able UK in the city of Hartlepool, England, have been the subject of legal challenges on both sides of the Atlantic.
Four of the boats have already made the journey to England and are in the docks at Hartlepool, while nine remain on the James River in Virginia pending the outcome of a separate U.S. legal challenge.
On Monday, Britain's High Court agreed with a case put forward by environmental group Friends of the Earth and ruled that Able doesn't have the proper permits to begin dismantling the ships, overturning a ruling by the U.K.'s Environment Agency.
"This case was more than a battle over the 'ghost ships' - it was about ensuring international laws to protect our wildlife are complied with and local people are involved in decisions that affect their environment," said Tony Juniper, the organization's executive director.
"Our job now is to prevent the United States from abdicating its environmental responsibilities by exporting the other nine ships. The four ships already in Hartlepool must be dealt with in the least environmentally damaging way."
The Environment Agency has acknowledged that it had made an error in judgement when it didn't consider the impact of the ships on a local wildlife preserve.
Environmental campaigners say the ships contain carcinogenic polychlorinated biphenyls, asbestos, oil and dozens of other chemicals that could damage the environment and wildlife.
Another hearing is scheduled next week, when the court will examine legal issues related to Able's construction of a dry dock in Hartlepool. In the meantime, Able must reapply for a permit to dismantle the ships.
In a statement, the Environment Agency said it would await the outcome of next week's hearing and ensure that the ships are stored safely in the meantime.
Able has contended that the dismantling of the ships poses no threat to the environment and that the project will bring 200 jobs to the region. The company declined comment Tuesday.

AJ Knapp Model
Blue Eyed MuseModel Female Pompano Beach, Florida, US
My Website: Art.ModelAJKnapp.com
Mayhem # 1117232
About Me
Hello there, my name is AJ Knapp. I am a working model located in South Florida. This is my art model profile; to see my fashion work, please visit MM#327171.
***As a general rule, I only accept friend requests from professionals in Florida and/or those traveling to Florida so that I can more easily keep track of those who have/want to work with me. Please, tag me or send me a message if the latter applies; thanks so much!***
I am an experienced art model and have done work in front of a camera, as a subject for paintings/drawings, modeling for classes, bodypaint modeling, etc. While I do enjoy figure work and classes, I love creative, edgy concepts that make you think when you look at the result even more.
Please Note:
***I shoot art nudes with established, published art photographers/artists(or those whose work is up to that level) and prefer that the work be for galleries/exhibits/etc. I do not shoot nudes with beginning/amature photographers at all, except in a workshop setting.
***I will work for my rates (which vary depending on the project), possibly for your rates depending on the project, or possibly on a commission basis if you regularly sell your work and we can sign a contract guaranteeing a percentage.
***I am a professional, experienced art nude model and rarely do test/'TFP' shoots in this area. I will on rare occasion consider 'trading' an art nude shoot for a fashion/commercial shoot if you are excellent in the latter area and I need certain shots for my book. Other than that, or if I need something very specific for some reason, I really do not test for art nudes.
***I do have experience in modeling (both nude and clothed) for photography/lighting classes and will continue to accept paid work in this area.
***I do not do fetish or erotic type art; although I can often see and appreciate the artistic value of it, it is not my forte so please do not contact me regarding projects of this type.
Here's some more details concerning working with me (if you're not bored of reading already lol):
I am not your typical model:
-I fix cars and don't mind getting greasy or dirty and am not afraid of bugs, lizards etc.
-I do wardrobe styling in addition to modeling, so I have a very large selection of wardrobe, accessories, etc.- if you need an interesting/creative piece to add to a shot, I probably have it
-I practice martial arts and have numerous weapons as well as many other creative props
-I am not shy and have no qualms about shooting nude outdoors
-I am easygoing, openminded, creative, and fun to work with (or so I've been told lol)
General Availability/More Details:
-My availibility is very open since I am a full-time model- I can shoot both during the week and on weekends (I prefer weekdays)
-My location is near Fort Lauderdale, within easy driving distance of Miami and W. Palm Beach; I am more than willing to travel further than that if expenses are paid
Booking info:

1. Your name and examples of your work (particularly published work/work in galleries/etc.)
2. Potential location of shoot

Planted in a 4" x 6" x 2½" ceramic bonsai container, your Japanese Maple will measure approximately 12". Make this environmentally sound purchase through Organic Bouquet and express your passion for the earth!
Products that are labeled "eco-friendly" are not certified by an official government or independent standard but are deemed sustainable based on one or more of the following practices:
Immediate Care Instructions
Please water immediately upon arrival. If you receive this bonsai during winter, dark and cold can trigger dormancy (the plant will lose its leaves in the winter). It has been forced to think that it's June, so keep it in a bright, warm location. Carefully review this instruction sheet for specific information on how to ensure you enjoy a healthy bonsai tree. We highly recommend referencing a bonsai book to supplement this overview.
About Your Japanese Maple Bonsai
This elegant jewel of Japan will provide a year-round show. In spring and summer the leaves will display an emerald green hue. As summer fades, nature will paint the leaves with bright yellow and orange fall colors. Finally in winter your bonsai will lose its leaves before beginning the cycle all over again.
Light Exposure
Your bonsai will enjoy light as bright as possible, but avoid excess heat which will dry out the soil too quickly. A location that provides morning sun or filtered light throughout the day is ideal.
Water and Fertilizer
It is important to water your bonsai regularly—the soil should be moist to the touch. Excellent drainage is equally as important as regular watering; however, please avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water. A simple method is to set your bonsai in the sink and run a steady stream of water from the faucet until you observe water exiting the drain hole at the bottom of the container. A well-balanced liquid organic fertilizer can be applied every two weeks. Your local nursery will have an appropriate liquid food available.
Water daily, through hot spells and in the summer heat. Every other day is sufficient in the spring and fall. In the winter you should keep the plant moist, watering only when the soil is dry to the touch.
Japanese Maples naturally grow into a rounded shape. Keeping them miniaturized is best achieved by pruning the longest shoots, removing all but the last 2-3 inches of growth from last season every winter. During the growing season you may also wish to cut back any growth that visually detracts from the rounded shape. Allow the long shoots to develop a length of eight inches or so before removing them. This will keep it in scale with the container and allow the plant to make food to help support the rest of the tree.
Dormant Period
After its autumn color show, your Japanese Maple will enter its dormant period (the bonsai will lose its leaves). It is important to keep the bonsai moist, watering only when the soil is dry to the touch. If temperatures reach freezing, place the plant in a cellar or other cool place where it will be chilled but the soil will not freeze. You can move it outdoors again when the freezing danger is past.
Every two to three years, in mid to late winter, remove the plant from the container and trim away 1/3 of the existing root-ball. Then repot with a blended organic potting soil. This will encourage new root growth and keep your bonsai healthy and thriving.

For consumers today, online and mobile channels have become an integral part of the shopping experience — for both researching and purchasing products and services.
In their transition to agile commerce, companies must understand how consumers are interacting and using multiple touchpoints to research, transact, and get service. Our recent report Segmenting Buyers: Introducing Super Buyers, Connected Traditionalists, And Traditionalists examines how three distinct retail segments of US online consumers — Super Buyers, Connected Traditionalists, and Traditionalists — leverage various channels for their shopping needs and explains how companies can best engage with each segment.
Some highlights from the report, which is based on a survey of more than 4,500 US online consumers:
· Super Buyers are the most connected shoppers and buy from many channels: online, offline, and mobile. Super Buyers like to mix and match their shopping by either researching online and buying offline or vice versa.
· Connected Traditionalists do most of their shopping online on a computer or in an offline store.
· Traditionalists are the largest segment; they do most of their shopping in-store — although they are also shopping online on a computer. This group has the lowest uptake of tablets and smartphones.

Recently, there has been concern over privacy regarding data on Facebook. Since the recent Facebook IPO, many people have been wondering if the company is facing pressure to find a new source of revenue. The question in many people's minds is whether it will come from advertising and/or other sources — or whether Facebook will monetize the massive amount of data that the company has on consumers. After all, most people are on Facebook: Forrester's North American Technographics® Online Benchmark Survey (Part 2), Q3 2012 (US, Canada) shows that almost seven out of 10 US online adults have a Facebook account. What's more, that survey shows that the typical US online adult with a Facebook account has more than 180 friends on Facebook and spends an average of 7 hours each week on the site.
MIT's Technology Reviewrecently published an article on the topic, "What Facebook Knows." The article highlights how massive Facebook's consumer database is and compares Facebook with a country — with 900 million members, it would be the third-largest globally. People share all kinds of information with Facebook: their demographic details, personal information, interests, and even their contact information.

1) The Adam-Eve account is pure myth.
2) Even the story of creationism (creation of the cosmos from nothing by an extra-cosmic god and the order in which the events are narrated), that precedes the Adam-Eve fairy tale, is unadulterated bull shit.
3) First, the way the creation of man has been described is senseless.
4) Second, the way Eve was created from Adam's rib is another infantile fabrication.
4) Third, most importantly, the Bible provides clues that clearly indicate that when the couple's eldest son reached marriageable age he went in search of a bride to the neighboring village of Nod thereby indicating that besides Adam and Eve and their offspring there were other people living in the surrounding regions and by logic elsewhere in the world.
5) Imagine, one male-female couple being the progenitor of the entire human race - a case of repeated incest down the family tree that would, within a few generations, lead to extremely serious psychological and physical defects that would as a result lead to the total degradation or decimation of the human race in its earliest stage of inception.
6) Inbreeding is bad, incest is far worse.
7) Incest when coupled with hypogamy is the worst eugenic blunder that anyone can commit.
8) It's evident that the biblical god and his brainwashed prophets were completely in the dark about the laws governing marriage and breeding.

1) Is it correct to state that there exists only ONE GOD of extra-cosmic origin who created the cosmos from nothing?
2) Would it be correct to declare that there is only ONE SELF-EXISTENT & SELF-SUFFICIENT SOURCE OF EXISTENCE that on manifestation gave rise to the graduated cosmos in keeping with the laws of causation, unity in variety and conservation?

MUHARRUM begins tomorrow.
It commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussain - grandson of Prophet Muhammad whose daughter Fatima entered into an incestuous marital union with the Prophet's first cousin, Ali.
1) SHOCKING that Muhammad permitted his daughter to marry his first cousin, Ali. Evidently, Muhammad was ignorant of the evils of incest.
2) Had Muhammad the deeper psychic vision, he'd have clearly "seen" the cruel death of his grandson and family at the hands of the tyrant Yazid, who, after murdering Hussain, went ahead and destroyed the Kaaba and raped the city of Mecca. Muhammad only commented on the death of his grandson after the event while he knew nothing about what was to transpire during the battle of Karbala. So, this indicates that Muhammad was not a high order mystic nor did he have the supraphysical power to change the course of events involving the murder of his beloved grandson and family and the subsequent destruction of the Kaaba and pillage of Mecca. Ironically, the Kaaba and the phallic stone have been destroyed and repaired 5 times. LOL.
(NOTE: Kaaba is a shrine that is possessed by the demonic vital forces).
3) Martyrdom, no matter how much it is glorified by ignoramuses, is a sign of weakness, incompetence and inefficiency - i say that it is easier to die for a cause than to win against all odds without being killed.
4) A sign of great yogic power is to foresee and event moreover change its course without lifting a finger and without shedding a drop of blood. To achieve this Herculean feat, the yogi has to be powerful enough to get a complete view of the gross and subtle forces underlying the event and be capable of dissolving or quietening the adverse forces who use possessed humans to engineer violence and atrocities.
Muharram bull shit!

It would depend if he values the "add-on" service enough to buy into and whether he could get it (pizza + preventative health)cheaper from a competitor.
His counter argument would be that he would have no choice but to buy the add on regardless - since the govt is violently forcing all the competitors to do the same.(See, even I have an inner libertarian!)

After man, the mental being, who?
The supramental being???
Mumbai, India
#43434 Nov 14, 2012
1) Will the supramental being emerge from the mental being, man, through an act of evolution/emergence of the activated supramental consciousness and energy from its subliminal depth?
2) Or will the supramental being be an altogether independent species that Nature will bring forth via an act of materialization of the supramental principle from the universal consciousness-energy field?
3) The former mechanism of the emergence of the supramental consciousness and energy through the mental, vital and gross physical layers of man's being and through external nature's consciousness and energy is more likely than an independent materialization from the universal force field of the same on account of the fact that man is the only entity to possess the psychic being which is a special line of consciousness-energy put forth by the absolute consciousness that directly connects the human being to it (absolute consciousness) and besides as man is anchored to matter on the lower end of the cosmic hierarchy, the psychic force in man spreads or influences (and gradually infuses) external matter making it receptive to the supramental aspect.
4) Due to the psychic in man it becomes easy to manifest the involved supramental range of consciousness-energy (that lies in the subliminal depths of being and nature) by an act of evolution.
5) Once this process is achieved, the supramental force will permeate man's being and external matter and act out its role of introducing superior faculties in both so as to regenerate and refine them and lead them higher up the spiral of perfection.

INDIA'S CLASSIEST & MOST EXCLUSIVE RESTAURANT is the ZODIAC GRILL in the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower in Mumbai. i rate the Zodiac Grill several notches higher than the international award-winning Wasabi that's also on the same lobby-level floor in the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower (Mumbai). This uber-stylish restaurant, the Zodiac Grill, that's a hot favorite of the Mumbai elites, specializes in classical and nouvelle French cuisine that is served table d'hote and ala carte in gold-edged haute crockery imported from France. All the ingredients used in the dishes are daily flown in from Europe notably from France. It's a pleasure lunching/dining at the classy Zodiac Grill. Kudos to Master Chef Hemant Oberoi and to the F & B Taj consultant and gourmand, Camelia Panjabi, of the Michelin-starred Chutney Mary and Veeraswamy fame in London.

rabbee: ahh! how cute, you mythed me and your grandmother so. arn't you, being thilly? and apparently your suffering from those, psycological effects of incest. because of the conditioning, of your idolitry only.
gee let us compare the story of Adam, with the story of jesus. they are both put to death in Ysrael, thus removing them from the garden. and they are both retuned, to america as adam and his mate. conclusion: it's the very same story again, from TheG-D you all reject in TheTorah Happening.

G-D is giving, TheWhole Torah Accounting aaagain. and all of you so far, are all saying you want G-D to do it aaa,again. because you don't believe, G-D is capable of giving TheTorah ever.
but with or without all of you, and your grandmother of all. G-D is just going, to have to give TheWhole Torah, in TheHappening again. because you are all idolitors, of other g-ds. so just remember in an anthology, all your bets are off.
#43442 Nov 14, 2012
rabbee: yeah! be one with, the subtle beast. aka: baal hamolech G-D, also hates... even more than, hasatan... such! a deal.
#43443 Nov 14, 2012
mentally only, allegdly outperforming G-D or His Son adam. is worth what, to all of you? mentally only not here, in ThePhysical Torah actually in TheHappenig. with lots of con-artists, still out there.
#43444 Nov 14, 2012
Well, thats how he "thinks" it happens. To believe him at face value, he wouldnt exactly know because he professes not to pay taxes.

Two Reviews of Anne Carson's "Antigonick," Pro and Con
Two reviews of Anne Carson's Antigonick, which was released in May, reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the Canadian poet's non traditional translation. The first is mostly negative, hailing from the Times Literary Supplement. Calling the original "Antigone" the "most adult, unsparingly formal and radiant of masterpieces," the reviewer takes issue with Carson's "populist witticisms" scattered throughout the text.
…the voice-overs by Hegel, Virginia Woolf and Bertolt Brecht are a facile diversion. Kreon's "new powerboat", Antigone's "Bingo", her desire "to lie upon my brother's body thigh to thigh" are vulgarities which subvert this most adult, unsparingly formal and radiant of masterpieces. Inspired by Hölderlin's idiosyncratic but incomparable rendition, Heidegger declared the famous choral ode on the nature of man to be the foundational statement in Western civilization. Elizabeth Wyckoff's version, one among so many, is lucidly attentive. Why Carson's "customers" instead of "man"? Why this "hilarious cantering" or the all but total omission of the cardinal theme, that of the unhoused wanderer (apolis), outcast from the civic hearth – a theme which crystallizes the Sophoclean reading of the human condition?
However, the reviewer does make time for some praise, saying "at intervals, lightning does strike."
Guernica's review is more celebratory, and dwells on Bianca Stone's illustrations.
It may be tempting to dismiss the illustrations as merely quirky—one of the Chorus bears the Star Trek insignia on its chest, while elsewhere a figure wears a football helmet. But these touches serve to heighten the absurdity and dark humor of the senseless world Carson has created. Take, for example, the dictator of Thebes and arguably the true tragic character of the work. Forever refusing to heed the wisdom of others, Kreon relents at the last, only to find his family dead and his city in despair. However, Kreon's is a tyranny beyond political power. He first enters the play with a decree: "Here are Kreon's verbs for today: ADJUDICATE LEGISLATE / SCANDALIZE / CAPITALIZE" and, "Here are Kreon's nouns: MEN / REASON / TREASON/ DEATH/ SHIP OF STATE / MINE." Kreon is an autocrat of language; his words are his people's words, because he declares it so. Indeed, when the Chorus reminds the despot that "mine isn't a noun," he replies simply, "It is if you capitalize it."
This is what a Carson-infused lyricism looks like. The residue of our English teachers' Antigone is there, but Carson and Stone have crafted something of an entirely new spirit. While the poet and her illustrator stray from the expected narrative, the tragedy of the work isn't lost on anyone. The Chorus utters what is perhaps the most terrifying line, isolated on its own page: "Your soul is blowing apart." It's hard not to shudder.
Which side do you fall on? Read the full Guernica review here, and the full Times Literary Supplement review here.

Canisius head men's lacrosse coach Randy Mearns and five former Golden Griffins helped lead Team Canada to an 8-5 win over Team USA Saturday night in the gold medla game of the 2014 FIL World Lacrosse Championships in Denver, Colo. The win gives Canada its third gold medal after the team also won the world championship event in 1978 and 2006.
Mearns, who won a gold medal as an assistant coach for Team Canada in 2006, directled his team to a 6-1 record in the event, which featured 38 teams from across the world. Canada controlled the game against the USA by dominating the ground ball count, with Canada recording 35 ground balls against the USA's 22.
Other former Griffs on the Team Canada roster include Jason Levesque '04 who served as an assistant coach on Mearns' Team Canada staff, Dan Coates '11, Angus Dineley '07, Adam Jones '11 and Matt Vinc '05.
A total of nine former Griffs played in this year's FIL World Lacrosse Championships. Simon Giourmetakis '12 helped Germany finish 10th overall in the 38-team field and Travis Hill helped the Iroquois to their best finish ever, as the team took third place. Former Griff Brendan Murphy '12, who is currently an assistant coach on Mearns' staff at Canisius, played for the Belguim team.

That joy you feel when your mutual hate for the Mosquito is resonated by someone else. I have always had a hate-hate relationship with them. They've never like me, and for the same reason I've never liked them. As is, I'm lacking blood, and they persist on sucking more and more out.
Day #85: The Calm before the Storm
There's always that week before exams when you have so much to do, but all you do is end up making timetables and doing nothing. One great thing though is, having a lot of free time on your hands, spending all day in bed with a book open on your lap, not feeling guilty about not doing any work, just feeling guilty about not getting any studying done.
Of course, there are also lots of showers in the middle of the day and not being sure whether to head for the nearest CCD, but that involves getting dressed, so why not put on the jammies and stay in bed all day.
Day #84 : Age is just a number
Day #83 : A Breath of Nostalgia
Nothing takes me back to my childhood like Harry Potter. The only link left to those books now though, after the series ended are the fan pages – these diverse groups of people who have so little in common, but are so similar in their love for the series which molded their personalities and affected their lives so strongly.
Day #82 : This could be the start of something new
Money has always interested me. Not in the sense that I get to spend it, of course that's there. But in the sense of how it comes into being, why so much important is attached to it and what gives it the power to build nations. Getting an opportunity to learn about it from an individualistic point at least.
Day #81 : Those Were The Days My Friends
After the freshers, it's time to get down to business. A week to go for the finals to begin. The best part, though, was the time I got to spend with CK during the last month.I can't describe that feeling I had inside as I stood there waiting for the metro to her place. It had become a second home.
Day #80 : The Last Supper
30/04/'14 – So I head back to the PG for the farewell party. The last party. Three years I've lived here. So many gossips, so much love, so much happiness. I can't find words to convey what it meant to know that I'll be leaving this place I've been so happy and more importantly been content it. Spending these last moments of fun with my closest friends was the best thing that had happened to me all month.

Climate change could be about to alter life in the sea, according to new research in Nature Geoscience.
Researchers at the University of Southern California have been experimenting with common microbes, hoping to predict which will flourish in a warmer and more carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere.
The microbes are two genera of cyanobacteria. These tiny creatures – blue-green algae responsible for huge occasional "blooms" in the sea – are life's bottom line: they fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and they photosynthesize atmospheric carbon to release oxygen, so they deliver staples for survival both for all plants and for all animals.
These microbes are everywhere. U.S. researchers recently charted the predicted change in cyanobacteria populations in the arid soils of the North American continent over the next century: now this second team has begun to look at life in the sea.

5 Meal Prep Combinations Anyone Can Do
I found meal prep to be daunting in the least until I really had to do it.
Eating well is essential for me – especially breakfast – and there has to be a shorter way to prep meals that work well.
That's why, I've put together stuff that has worked out for me in the past in this post. I really hope you guys enjoy prepping and eating according to these ideas!
Indian Butter Chicken
There's a sense of happiness about well made Butter Chicken that most Indian restaurants in the US fail to accomplish. For a dish that is as ubiquitous for Indian cuisine as this, I was surprised to find that only a few places in the US made it as it was supposed to be made. The best thing is that ingredients are available here and you can actually make some yummy butter chicken in your home.
Here's the recipe!
- 250 grams boneless chicken breasts, chopped into large chunks
- 2 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 large onion chopped in large chunks
- 1 large tomato chopped in large chunks
- 1 packet Parampara Butter Chicken Mix
- 1 cup yoghurt
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- Heat the oil and add the onions and tomatoes.
- Fry until onions are golden.
- Add the chicken and fry until half cooked. The browning on the chicken gives flavour.
- Add all the spices and the package mix and stir on low flame. Make sure you don't burn the spices.
- Immediately add yoghurt so the cooking temperature falls.
- Cover and cook until chicken is white and cooked through.
- Add the heavy cream and butter in the end, stir and serve with plain white rice or naan!
The Millenial's Guide to Not Going Broke
So here's the deal – I'm in America, where every dollar I spend translates to 65 bucks back home (India). As an Economist who is wrapping up the last months of school, and gearing up to pay back student loans – being smart about money matters.
Here are a few tips that I found helpful:
I shop at Whole Foods sometimes and it doesn't kill me.
You know Whole Foods – with its green glistening aisles of organic food that tell you to sign over your first born with every purchase.
But you can escape with a good credit score if you buy from the bulk bins instead of the already packed lentils, rice and other grains.
Hear me out:
Grains like Quinoa, as well as breakfast staples like oatmeal are a bit cheaper when you buy the same amount in bulk. Plus they replenish those little tubes faster than the pre-packaged bags of food in the aisles, so I guess it's win-win here!
See: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/blog/whole-story/buy-bulk-health-it
Thank GOD for UBER Pool Passes.
Ever since Uberpool started, I have been saving so much money travelling in Boston – but they made it even better! Now there's a pass that you can use in Boston that makes commutes much cheaper than the T!
So the T costs me 2.10 between stops, whereas the Uber pool with the PoolPass costs me only 2 bucks anywhere within the radius it plies in.
It's not only cheaper, it saves time and it's so much more convenient!

There's this amazing Indian buffet called Shanti (in Boston) which even some foreigners swear by. It's great Indian food for 10 bucks and all you can eat!
It's really hard to find good Indian food that cheap out here!
Frozen Veggies are actually kinda great!
Another grocery shopping tip: I love to cook but cleaning up is a pain – so pre-cut frozen veggies are my lifesavers now. Frozen peppers, onions, corn, beans – you name it! I buy these from trusty old Trader Joe's since the quality is great (also they have combinations of veggies mixed by purpose – like Asian Stir Fry Mix ). I save so much time AND money (since these are usually 3 bucks a bag at most, while 2 whole peppers may cost 2 bucks each!)
Saving money is an art, that needs constant refining. You don't have to hustle to be honest, but I love saving on these little things, so that I can treat myself to good dinners and good things on a student budget.
It works out.
An Indian Abroad : The hungry student's packing list.
If the name of my blog isn't a big enough hint, let me tell you that I am the nerdiest food lover you will ever meet. I try weird food subscriptions, substitutions and recipes – all to please the palate.
Since I was moving to the United States, I really had to get realistic about the various spices, tools and kitchen equipment I had acquired over the years. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) Some stuff just wouldn't work here since the power requirements were different, and I had to adjust my cooking style to fit a tiny kitchen, where clean up would be my job too. Hello shortcuts and one-bowl dishes!
In retrospect, maybe I should've carried a few things here, and left a few out. I guess a list would be helpful to a future student coming to the US and save him/her a lot of time and anguish.
An Indian Abroad : The hungry student's packing list.
A Flat pan or Griddle
For pancakes, roti and paratha.
I rarely make roti at home, since I buy the frozen packs from haldiram's - but you still need this to reheat them and make them taste right.
Gram Flour - really important for cheela making and kadhi
Chilli Powder
I've found that the chilli powder here isn't as fiery as the one back home.
Use it for face packs, haldi doodh, and for flavouring food.
Important for tempering dals, kadhi etc.
Get a nice, non-stick one with a lid.
You will use it for maggi, sabzi and chicken.
Pressure Cooker
Saves a hell lot of time. Can cook rice (pulao, biryani, plain), dal, chole, khichdi.... the list is endless.
Ask mom for a demo.
Salt Pepper Sugar
Just enough to tide you until you go for your first grocery shopping.
Toor Dal
The easiest dal to make. I make this ahead and freeze if I don't plan on eating it. With rice, it is the easiest and healthiest meal I can think of.
Cooking in America.
For a lot of people I know, cooking can be a chore. However, I cook to remember my culture.
When I first came here, I thought it would be really hard to find all the ingredients I need – I packed my bags with spices and pulses – knowing that I would miss these the most. I should've known better – these prized possessions were taken from me at the airport and probably thrown into the trash. Here I was, alone and food-less in America – to add – a little embarrassed and phone-less (no network!).
Little did I know that the apartment I had hunted from 7000 miles away would be an 8 min walk away from a Whole Foods and 15 from a Trader Joes, and that I would have Alltown, a 24-7 convenience store 2 mins away! Everywhere I went, I found chole (Chickpeas), rice, rajma (Red kidney beans) and lentils and spices! Indian food was everywhere and I was happy! 🙂
It has become such a fun activity to feed my American friends Indian food made by me – I take pride in sharing the story behind it – that my mom taught me this recipe, or that I haven't made it half as nice as my mom did, or that we eat this for so and so festival.
Cooking in America makes me happy and it makes me miss home a little less.
Easy Stir – Fried Chicken
- 1 pound Chicken
- 2 tbsp Stir Fry Sauce
- 1 cup mixed veg (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tsp Oil
- Salt and Paprika
- Heat oil in a pan on high heat
- Add the veggies and sear them, tossing them in the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium.
- Add chicken and sear it, don't cook all the way through.
- Add the stir-fry sauce, salt and paprika.
- Cover and cook till chicken is cooked.
3 Ingredient Pancakes
I hate food waste, and bananas are crazy. They're unripe when you want to eat them, then you leave them on the counter for a few days and there's this short-lived period of having a perfect banana, then BOOM – overripe, soft banana.
Although ripe bananas are healthy, I cannot, for the life of me bring myself to eat them. Hence, I bake them into nice cakes or turn them into these 3 ingredient pancakes where their ripe full flavour is fully appreciated.
What do you do with your old bananas?
- 1 Ripe Banana
- 2 Eggs
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- Mash the bananas and whisk in the eggs and cinnamon.
- You can also blend the mixture for added air.
- Make small pancakes on a hot griddle - small because these are soft and take a little time to set!
- Serve warm with maple syrup and fruit!
If you're concerned this doesn't have sugar, don't worry – its actually full of it! The ripe bananas have enough of it and the maple syrup adds more.
Quick and Easy Thai Curry – on a budget!
Summer is here. MAYBE.
I love rice, and curries run in my blood. I was craving something simple and spicy that wouldn't break the bank and I remembered that I knew how to make thai curry!
Just look at this. Doesn't it feels wholesome and loving?
Here's the recipe!
Estimated Cost: $12 (Lasted me for 4 meals)
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- ½ Cup Jasmine Rice
- 1 13.5-Ounce Can Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 2 Stalks Lemongrass
- 1 1-Inch Piece Ginger
- 1 Lime
- 1 tsp Paprika (optional)
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Scallion/Small Onion
- 1 Bunch Cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
- 2 Teaspoons Coconut Palm Sugar/ Brown Sugar
- Salt to taste.
- Set the rice to cook - 1 part rice requires 2 parts water.
- Roast the ginger, garlic, scallions and peppers in a bit of oil on medium heat.
- Don't let it burn!
- Add the curry paste and toast that a little as well.
- Add the brown sugar - let it caramelise.
- Now add the chicken and turn up the heat for a minute or two.
- Add the coconut milk and about half a can of plain water.
- Let this simmer and cook the chicken further.
- Now add a little bit of paprika if you like the heat.
- I add salt by taste, since this recipe has limes.
- Cover and cook until the curry thickens a little and the chicken is cooked.
- Garnish with a heavy hand of cilantro and serve over a bed of rice!
I got everything from TraderJoe's for like super cheap! Try it out!
Bon Apetit!

I have had 9 spayed in the last 4 years (1 came already spayed) and I have not seen any of them not go potty normally right afterward. I would call the vet who spayed her and ask that question. Any time your baby has surgery or is under a vet's care, you should not hesitate to call with follow up questions to discuss anything that worries you.

Environmental activists gathered for a rally Tuesday outside Port Metro Vancouver's downtown offices, protesting a plan that could allow coal exports from the Lower Mainland to increase by up to 44 per cent.
Port Metro Vancouver, the company responsible for the operation and development of the Lower Mainland's harbours, is considering proposals to expand North Vancouver's Neptune Terminals and the Fraser Surrey Docks, which could boost the amount of coal exported in the region by an additional 14 million tonnes per year.
The port exported 32 million tonnes of coal in 2011, according to Port Metro Vancouver spokeswoman Barbara Joy-Kinsella.
The demonstration by over 50 activists from Voters Against Climate Change – which saw letters of protest taped to the glass walls of the port's Canada Place offices -- is the latest in a groundswell of opposition to potential port expansion.
The rally coincided with the release of a letter signed by B.C. Lung Association and the Public Health Association of B.C., among other groups, urging the port to reconsider the projects. In recent weeks, a group of environmental organizations and Mayor Gregor Robertson have also sent letters to Port Metro Vancouver expressing their concerns.
Protesters Tuesday cited a lack of accountability, environmental degradation and health risks among the reasons to cancel the coal expansion projects.
"We're just not going to stop," said Kevin Washbrook, director of Voters Taking Action Against Climate Change. "It's simply not fair to do things like this anymore."
Port Metro Vancouver's VP of social responsibility Duncan Wilson says that the organization has a "very robust consultation process."
Mr. Wilson said that about 600 people were present for a consultation on the Neptune Terminals project.
Furthermore, he said people are directing their anger at the wrong department. "That's a debate and discussion for the public to have with senior government," Mr. Wilson said, referring to complaints about coal exports from the Lower Mainland.
Port Metro Vancouver does not have jurisdiction over what kind of commodities gets shipped, said Mr. Wilson, only that the transportation of those materials is done responsibly.
Dr. Menn Biagtan, program manager for the B.C. Lung Association, believes there is little to no evidence that an increase in coal exports will not affect the health of B.C.'s population.
"It's not that we're opposing it -- it's that we need to know more," she said.
Dr. Biagtan said her organization is asking Port Metro Vancouver to produce evidence that the projects will not harm the population's health and the environment. "There needs to be answers to those questions."Report Typo/Error

" Brand: Dunlop / Type: Squash Racket "
Costing only £14.99 from Sports Direct, Dunlop's 'G-Force 15' is the latest in a long line of squash racquets that i've owned over the last couple of years. The racquet has a 500 square centimetre head size, and comes complete with a 3/4 length head cover - but how does it perform?
The Look and Feel of the Racquet
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Predominantly red in colour, the G-Force 15 is adorned with a decorative series of dots and lines which make it look generally attractive. Made from a composite construction, the racquet feels solid in the hand, although it's by no means the lightest that i've used. That said, the weight isn't especially noticeable, and for a cheaper racquet the string tension is excellent. During play, the squash ball springs off the head with relish, and the racquet's overall balance is very good. The white grip which comes as standard is slightly thin, although additional grip can be purchased depending on personal preference.
In terms of the racquet's longevity - well, these cheaper items do have a tendency to break after a few months of play. Unfortunately, when I say 'break', i'm not talking about the odd snapped string (fairly easy to replace) - i'm talking about the actual side of the racquet splitting, which signals the end of our ball-hitting friend. The G-Force 15 actually has a decent lifespan for it's price, and in my experience it will last for at least a couple of months before it gives up the ghost - of course, this will depend on your style of play - and if you're someone who plays with a lighter touch, then you may get a longer lifespan from the racquet.
Final Word
- - - - - - -
I've used many 'budget' squash racquets in the past, and the G-Force 15 is up there with the best of them. For only £14.99, the racquet offers very good value for money and the overall feel is actually better than some of the racquets I have used which cost twice as much. Where you undoubtedly lose out is in the weight department - and compared to the pricier racquets of this world, the G-Force 15 is a wee bit heavy. However, overall i'm happy to award the G-Force 15 four out of five dooyoo stars, as a racquet which is perfect for a beginner / mid level player.

The simple answer to that is that I don't think Mathemtica was ever
written for this sort of purpose and WRI as a company does not aspire
to a share of this market (if it exists). Otherwise obviously they
would do something about this but the fact is that they don't, which is
perfectly all right with me though may not be with you.
Mathematica was written for human beings and in fact for human being of
above average intelligence. At least for the time being this
disqualifies it as a tool for the sort of purpose you have brought up
here. If you are interested in that kind of thing, Mathematica is
obviously not the right language for you. Why on earth does it have to
be one? There are countless other purposes it is not suitable for and a
huge number of other programming languages to choose form.

NCAA: Athletes move toward organizing
WASHINGTON (AP) — Northwestern University athletes pressed their case for collective bargaining rights during meetings with lawmakers, as a vote was scheduled for them to decide whether to authorize a union.
The vote will be held April 25, according to Ramogi Huma, president of the College Athletes Players Association.
During meetings on Capitol Hill, Huma and former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter tried to drum up support just a week after a ruling that the athletes were employees and had the same rights to bargain collectively as other workers.

Need help removing Delta bathroom faucet
I've got an 8 y.o. Delta faucet in my bathroom. I can't seem to loosen the Allen screw in the hot faucet. Can someone help me?
Neither faucet has ever been removed before. My 3/32 Allen wrench seemed a tad too loose, but my 7/64 Allen wrench is clearly too big. I called Delta, which told me that those allen screws took either a 3/32 or 1/8 Allen wrench.
On the cold tap, I was able to get the wrench in, and it seemed like it was in very well, but it slipped out when I tried to turn it.
Of course, I'm afraid of stripping the head on these screws. But I'm totally stymied!
What's the secret to success here?
Sometimes you just can't get them out.
2 options : If you want to try and save the faucet, you can try drilling out the allen screw or using a screw extractor kit or something similar....
Otherwise you can just replace it. I hate those little screws sometimes :(
Have you tried a different 3/32 wrench yet? Sometimes the end will get a bit rounded making it slip. A grinder or fine metal file can also be used to remove the rounded tip if needed. Otherwise I might even try a metric in case someone used a metric set screw because they lost the original.
Metric Allen wrench didn'twork
Yeah, one of the first things that occurred to me. I tried a metric--2.5 is the closest "next-biggest". Too big.
Extracting an allen screw
ALLEN (et al):
Do you think it would help if I put some heat (torch) on the screw?
Have you tried inserting the Allen wrench and giving it a few taps with a hammer to try to break loose any calcium deposit buildup in the threads, or soaking it a bit in vinegar to dissolve the calcium?
Or, if you can get one to bite good, gripping the Allen wrench with channel-lock pliers for torque?
Vinegar to break up calcium deposits
Good idea, I'll try it, thanks.

Oil Spill in San Francisco Bay
Thursday survey of remediation
On Thursday morning I rode my bicycle along the shore of the San Francisco bay to inspect the response and remediation of Wednesday's cargo ship's 'oil' spill. "Bunker C" is a sludgy type of 'bottom of the barrel' kind of fuel used by sea-going ships, and it is not completely accurate to call it oil. It is what is left-over after a refinery gets jet fuel, kerosene, gasoline, oil and diesel out of petroleum. The sludge is sold to tankers to burn while crossing the ocean and it is not usually very liquid, but, instead, is thick and gooey. It is generally filled with other minerals and metals and can be highly sulpherous and quite toxic. One reference lists the various elements found in Bunker C: Barium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Magnesium, Molybdenum, Nickel, Titanium, Vanadium and Zinc. Some of these are radioactive elements and others are poisonous to plants and animals.
Chrissy Field
- I started by going to the Marina District near Fort Mason, and rode west from there to Chrissy Field. There were all types of police and Federal Protective Services stationed at every pathway and trail, blocking the public from traveling to the outer path and parking lot. I was able to circumvent them and got to attend a small press briefing held by a supervisor of the Golden Gate National Resources Area (GGNRA)
That GGNRA/Chrissy Field Supervisor called the tarry substance "lethal". He described how the material would break up into small balls, about the size of gravel, and float below the surface of the waves. This makes the clean-up harder - because finding the oil and capturing it is more difficult. It is as likely to sink as it is to float. It might be mistaken by animals as food, or it could coat their bodies with its oily aspects. The supervisor made it plain that these globs of oil were floating below the waves and had been found within the floating barrier that had been installed to protect the new Chrissy Field sanctuary. He cautioned the public to not touch them, as they are very delicate and burst into a nasty, staining slick. The toxicity, as mentioned above, make this smear more dangerous.
After the press briefing I attempted to travel the shoreline but was driven away by motorcycle police. There were many maintainence crews of throughout the park, but they were working on trash cleanup and gardening, not shoreline remediation. I got on a city bus and took my bike out past the Golden Gate Bridge to Seacliff.
- There is a small beach below the wealthy Seacliff neighborhood. Two pickup trucks with the logo "NRC Environmental Services" were stationed there, and about a half-dozen men in hardhats stood high in the driveway, seemingly observing the beach. When an oil soaked cormorant made it's way to shore, the men chased it down and took it to a pickup truck to be cleaned. It took two trys to capture it, as it flopped back into the waves and swam out a few dozen yards. It floated there for five or ten minutes, but was obviously in distress and sinking lower in the waves. It finally allowed the surf to push it in to the beach where the crew captured it easily. After doing a cursory cleaning they took it to a side beach, where there was a holding pen, and it was photographed. Few birds flew over the water, and only a few floated on the waves outside of the Golden Gate bridge.
The sheen on the water is more difficult to see from any angle, high or low, at the shoreline, but it's hazard is plain to see by the distress of the wildlife. The sea was basically calm or mild at late morning. The globules described earlier were not washing up on the shore at that time.
Golden Gate Bridge
- The view from the bridge shows scattered sheens of oily patches, primarily along the shore, with swirling currents holding larger patches in whirlpools. Many cormorants, gulls and other water birds were floating on the bay, appearing normal until they attempted to fly. That is when you realize the seriousness of the damage. Virtually no bird near the bridge could take off, but flapping frantically until exhaustion brings them down to the water again. The view from the bridge allows observers to see most shorelines, and virtually no oil-slick remediation existed. Only a few dozen yards were protected, and that is specifically at the mouth of the new Chrissy Field sactuary. As of Thursday mid-day, there were almost no floating barriers anywhere in the entire shoreline of San Francisco - north or south.
Embarcadero to Fisherman's Warf
- I rode out onto many piers - from Fort Mason to the Clock Tower - and saw a thin sheen or small patches of fine oil. Gulls were perched on rails and had obvious black lines across their breasts. Many wharves have harbor breaks - permanent barriers that protect the marinas from heavy wake - so the oil slicks are not as obvious, but if a person looks carefully they will see dead birds floating in corners and crevices. Near the site of the collision there is a milky sheen to the water and little activity of animal life. I didn't see any harbor seals or otters. The big sea-lions at pier 39 did not seem playful, or constantly diving into the water. There were hand-made posters tacked to poles on the piers declaring "No Fishing" in many languages.
Overall, I was struck by the inactivity of actual cleanup. There were plenty of law-enforcement personnel to restrict the area from public view, but only two areas had obvious clean-up operations - Seacliff and the mouth of the Chrissy Field estuary.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Loses Racial Profiling Appeal
Notorious Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio cannot order his henchmen to detain people based solely on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants, a federal court ruled yesterday.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco turned down Arpaio's appeal of a previous decision that temporarily stopped the self-proclaimed "America's toughest sheriff" from racial profiling of Latino residents in the state.
A lower court in Phoenix is still deciding a lawsuit brought against Sheriff Joe by a group of Latinos who sued over profiling. In the meantime, the court said, deputies had to stop pulling over anyone they thought might not have paperwork. The San Francisco court upheld the injunction.
The lawsuit alleges that Latinos are being pulled over for no other reason than to check their immigration documents. Over a three year period from 2008 to 2011, 57 percent of people stopped by the Sheriff's immigration sweeps were undocumented. The trial ended in early August, with no sign of when the judge might make a final ruling. After the class action suit ends, Arpaio faces another suit for profiling brought against him by the U.S. Department of Justice. He also faces a reelection challenge in November.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that police in Arizona may be required by law to check the immigration status of anyone who has legitimately been pulled over for another crime. However, the court throw out other provisions of Arizona's controversial immigration laws that in effect allowed police to stop anyone they thought they might be able to turn over for deportation. In the past, Arpaio has claimed that his office is "a full-fledged federal immigration agency"
