Jim Caviezel, actor: How being a dad has changed his life
By Julie Rattey
Since playing Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ," Jim Caviezel has been anything but idle. Catholic Digest caught up with him by phone to discuss his latest news, including how being a dad has changed his life and how he hopes his new film, "The Stoning of Soraya M." — out in theaters June 26 — will change others'. Caviezel, 40, spoke with us from one of his favorite haunts, a Jewish restaurant called The Meating Place in Agoura Hills, California, where he says he enjoys the best Israeli food he's had outside Israel.
You and your wife Kerri have become adoptive parents to an orphaned boy, Bo, and girl, LeLe, from China. How has becoming a father affected you and your faith?
I don't even know who I was before (laughs). Dennis Quaid told me a long time ago when he had his son Jack, 'You'll have emotions in you that you didn't even know existed before you had a child.' I now know what that feels like. Even though they're adopted, it's as strong as any instinct. That's what blew me away. I always thought if I adopted that I wouldn't have the same feeling [as I would] if they were genetically my own children. Nothing could be further from the truth.
And how has that affected you and your wife's faith life?
Well, you're mirrors, aren't you? Every day when we go to school we pray the Rosary. We don't talk, we pray. I always feel we communicate better in the prayer. If I don't stay consistent, they won't be consistent.
How else has being a father changed you?
I guess you love more. I see my wife take care of the children, and (to see) how they respond and how my children are makes me love them more. To add to that, I'm more in control of my duties as opposed to being caught up in the world. I'm not ruled by my feelings, I'm ruled by love, which is a decision. And that is being implemented into my children — that it's not how I feel, it's what I'm going to do. That's what my faith has taught me and now it's teaching them, but it won't mean a hill of beans unless they see that coming from both of us.
What are some of the things you find most rewarding about being a dad?
The other day my little girl jumped in my lap, put her hand on my face, and whispered in my ear, "Papa, I love you so much." It pulls on your heartstrings. When you come home and the kids run to you, come up and grab your leg. We have a little thing. They stand on my feet and I walk them into the kitchen and we just laugh.
How did faith play a role in the adoption process for you and your wife?
I was walking out of Mass and Susie McEveety, the wife of Steve McEveety (click here to read Catholic Digest's interview with McEveety), who produced "The Passion of the Christ," said, 'Will you adopt this child?' And I saw (a picture of) a baby with a tumor on top of its head and in its brain. And I saw his eyes and — this sounds like such sentimental hogwash, but I'm telling you the truth — in my heart I heard this boy calling to me, saying, 'Will you love me?'
So I told my wife, 'I'd like to adopt this little boy. I think we're supposed to.' I thought she'd certainly say no, and then she just said, 'I'm in shock that you would want to adopt not just any child, but this child. I never thought you were even open to adoption.' I said, 'I wasn't open to adoption; I wanted my own children.' We'd been close before to having children and it didn't work out, and that's all I'll go into [about] that, but we still hope to have our own children, but I knew in my heart as strong as anything, as strong as meeting my wife, as strong as becoming an actor, [that this is what God wanted].
Part of what had spurred the adoption was a pro-life challenge. Could you share a little about that?
This guy I know said, 'You're pro-life. Tell you what, if you really believe in what you speak, adopt a child — not any child, he's got to have a serious deficiency,' (and I will become pro-life). He never changed his (position), but it convicted me. I don't think he thought I would step up to the plate.
I was listening to Johnny Mathis the other day and I said, "What an amazing voice." I have yet to hear another person sound like Johnny Mathis. How are we so arrogant to think the 51.5 million babies who have died in this country… Look, I am for helping women. I just don't see abortion as helping women. And I don't love my career that much to say, "I'm going to remain silent on this." I'm defending every single baby who has never been born. And every voice that would have been unique like Johnny Mathis'. How do we know that we didn't kill the very child who could have created a particular type of medicine that saves other lives?
In ["The Stoning of Soraya M."] this woman was brutally attacked by a group of Islamic people who believe in Sharia law (Islamic law), prevalent in many countries. Weekly, women are stoned to death. This story takes place [in Iran] and the man who wrote about it (Freidoune Sahebjam, in his 1994 novel The Stoning of Soraya M.: A True Story) went [to Iran and] came upon a woman who told (about an innocent woman who had been stoned to death for supposed infidelity).
The man who wrote this book chose to get involved in something that cost him his entire life. There were many a bully who went after him. They had been hunting this man down for years. Two days before I went to meet this man he died of a heart attack (in March 2008). You can't tell me that this man was not stressed when this thing was going to go public. If the book got him a death sentence, can you imagine what the film is going to be? I met a group of Iranian actors and one of the women said to me, 'Often in the West you say, 'We want free rights and free choices here in the United States.' Well, what makes you think we don't want to have free rights and free choices in our country? You guys always write us off because of some religious fanatic thing.' If you speak out in their area, you disappear or you get publicly stoned to death.
What do you hope audiences will take away from the film?
When you go to church on Sunday, it's absolutely worthless unless you apply what you've learned to your everyday life. What I hope they take away is the same story Jesus tried to tell years ago, which was the Good Samaritan. At some point, we all play a character in the Bible. We all think of ourselves, Oh, I'm Peter, I'm Paul, I'm John. I'm Jesus (laughs). But nobody says, "I'm Pontius Pilate. I'm politically correct here."
You reprise your role as Jesus in The Word of Promise audio Bible. What was that like for you?
I had to do it in English. I knew that I would have an older voice someday, and I said, "While I'm still young I want people to hear the Jesus that I intended to play before [director Mel Gibson] introduced the foreign languages [into "The Passion of the Christ"]. My prayer was I didn't want people to see me. I want people to see Jesus. The only difference between this and a movie is that you have no visual. You hear the lightning strike. You hear the birds chirping. You hear what it might have been like in that time. And it engages your heart and your emotions. And all of a sudden your life begins to change a little bit every day. And you won't have to tell people whether you're praying or not; they will know you're praying. Because I'll tell you, the difference between that person and someone who does not pray [is that] he has peace and real love. And if you change just a little bit every day, my gosh, you're going to start experiencing heaven now, not waiting until you die to experience it. CD

Favorite prayers: Our Father, Hail Mary, prayer to St. Michael
Role he'd like to play: "I think I finally found a comedy, but we'll see. I used to do Neil Simon. And [now] they go, 'Oh no, he played Jesus.'"
Best advice he's received: "Someone told me a long time ago what a man does in private is who he really is."
One of his favorite things to do with his family: "I like swimming. That's when I can get physical with my kids — actually pick them up and throw them. They say, 'Daddy, do it again!'"
What he's learned about family from basketball: "A family to me can be a really bad team or a really good team. I refer to teams because I played on basketball teams for 17 years into college, and I played on good ones and bad ones.
I have a wife who is a basketball player, and both of us have that mentality that some days you don't particularly want to go out and play that day or practice that day. But the only way to [succeed] is to practice. It can't be tied to feelings. That's not what it's about."
Jim Caviezel on movie violence
"The Passion of the Christ" was both lauded and criticized for its brutal depiction of the Crucifixion. Caviezel's new film, "The Stoning of Soraya M." (from the producers of "The Passion") is rated R for its depiction of the stoning of an innocent woman in Iran. Besides the fact that such depictions, Caviezel says, are less brutal than the realities they reflect, Caviezel says showing such atrocities is part of telling the story of what really happened.
"What I don't understand," he says, "is that [these events are] so horrific, but when good filmmakers try to tell a story, it's almost as if it's a greater evil that those filmmakers and actors — who are putting their lives on the line to show a story — are showing what really happened than for those men (depicted in "The Stoning of Soraya M.) to have taken that girl and beaten and killed her like that. And that's what I feel we've become in the culture — that (people think) it is a worse evil to show the world what real evil is. It's 'How dare you take away my naïveté.' That to me is like Marie Antoinette saying 'Let them eat cake.'"
And why doing the film was one of the toughest decisions of his life
"[These four things are] all familiar, they're all tied together. If I had been tied to feelings, I would have said no on all four of them. I think upon death, judgment, [God would have] said, 'This is what I had planned for you. And you said no.' And I (would have) said, "Well, because I was scared!" So that became the thing. I can't make a decision based on feelings. Whenever I feel [Jesus] I feel a peace and a calm. And I don't say that just goes with me everywhere. But I know it when I feel it and I say, 'That's the right way.'"

Because many awesome people at Noisebridge (including some who
eventually became members) did not know anyone in the space when they
first arrived.

~leif

This is a good point Leif. I personally could not effort be a Noisebridge member from the beginning of my interaction with the place. It took me several months to realize what is actually hacker space about and what it is not. Now when I'm continuing my journey around the globe, deeply involved in the hacker movement, I'm very glad that my "alma mater" is Noisebridge. The idea of openness and be excellent to each other works actually very well in most of the situations.

However people should keep in mind that Noisebridge is located in one of the more dangerous parts of San Francisco and there should be some barriers to keep the people who would like to be in and are welcome safe. I remember that at the beginning in the new space, you really have to ring the door bell and someone would answer and meet you upstairs. If you did so in the middle of the night and no one was in, well lets try next day maybe. To leave completely unknown people in the space during the night doesn't seems to me very responsible towards the place. I think that the last member leaving the place should have the right to ask people to leave if he feels that their presence may be harmful for the place. We do not exercise membership "privileges" very often but this may be a case when quite a lots of people would agree with that (my assumption and a bit dated experience) and it could actually work quite pretty well because it would be not rule after all but guideline. People who are in the space and want to continue to be a part of the space would most probably understand and respect it. For me if there is a "trusted" community member present, member or non member, fine, he is basically a the guarantee that things are going to be OK (if he doesn't like such responsibility, he may ask the people to leave or leave too). But have completely unknown people alone in the place on the regular basis is actually not very social I would say. So trusted member of the community in the place especially during night would be beneficial I would say. To be absolutely honest I think that Noisebridge has enough support/potential to have someone trusted in the place 24/7 if approached as a project.

Anyway it looks like that the guideline above not leaving strangers in the place alone during the night is in practice quite for a while and it works probably quite pretty well.

Some places in Europe, like for example c-base, have managed to create places which are open to general public and parts of the hackerspase which is member only. However I do not think that such solution is really architecturally suitable for Noisebridge even if it had general support, which may not be the case (I generally like completely open places).

Sincerely,

Frantisek

Review: I have been wanting to add a either a Shark or a Roc to my bag for some time. I have a Classic Roc as my mid/putter and a Wolf for a strictly midrange disc. Both the Classic Roc and the Wolf I turn over on just about anything outside of 150 feet. The Shark, especially this weight, allows me to throw full shots, expecting it to fade left , with confidence. I'm happy with it so far. I know exactly what to expect when I throw it.

Review: The shark is an incredible disc no matter what the weight. I can throw this probably about 250 ft and it flies amazing. once you figure out its flight pattern itll be very helpful when trying to throw short hyzer shots. whenever im within 150 feet of the hole and in a tricky situation i look o further than my Shark. BUY IT!!

Disc Weights: 150
Review: My friend found a 150 class shark, and I have to comment on this thing. This is what I call the mini valkerie. It will fly an s curve at 30 feet. This is about the most accurate approach disc I ever threw, and my main approach is a roc, which I swear by.I can throw my roc right under the basket from 200 feet with not a hint of fade, but I swear this 150 class shark is even more accurate yet for short approaches. Its not a straight flyer, it is stable, and predictable. I want to demo a champion to see if it flies the same, but I am going to get some kind of a shark for my bag.

As a beginner I got the typical 3-set (putter, medium, and driver) by Innova. Of the three, my favorite by far is the Shark. I couldn't tell you the weight, but it's fairly light. I like it best because it's stable, is hard to turn over, and works well even in the wind. I've got three of them right now, and they all go straight at the target if I throw it right. When my driver is failing me or the wind is too crazy, I use my Shark and make the shot almost every time. I can control the trajectory pretty with reverse spins, overhand, sidearm, and even left-handed when I have to. The Sharks I have are all amatuer soft plastic, so they don't last very long, but I plan to upgrade when the time is right. For a beginner or anyone who loves the game but hasn't shot an under-par game from the advanced tees yet, I highly recommend the Innova Shark as an all-around excellent choice.

As a new player to Disc golf I chose the shark Dx(167g) as my approach/finesse driver and absolutley love it! It goes where I want it to, it floats in right next to the pin, and is driveable for me around the 225' mark. I use it for tight fairways and getting outta the woods on bad drives. As for accuracy, my 51-year old father on his second round of disc golfing ever, threw a 100' birdie shot with this disc and put it no farther than 30' from the pin on most of the holes. If your a beginner buy this disc and if you've been playing forever chances are you already have one in your arsenal (if not then get one).

The shark DX is an excellent disc. One of the first discs I bought, it gets more use than just about any disc in my bag. I use it on nearly every approach shot. My favorite is a high-release, anhyzer angled backhand. The overstability of the shark tries to turn it over, giving it an excellent float toward the hole. I hangs in the air, just asking the chains to grab it. It is shaped more like a recreational disc than some golf discs, making for an easy transition for an ultimate player. Can be used to drive on shorter holes where control is more important than distance. Excellent disc. I find it to be more overstable than a new stingray, more understable than a used whippet.

My current level of play is a serious recreational player who's out there 4-5 times/week, and I've measured my throw up to 310 feet--but let me tell you about when I was first was learning how to play disc golf. I bought a Shark because Innova claims that it's the "best all around golf disc." Since I didn't have a large selection of discs to choose from, it seemed like having a versatile disc would be valuable. Being inexperienced, I didn't know that I'd be better served by a lighter disc, and since the local retailers all prefer to stock heavy discs for some unknown reason, I came home with a 180g Shark. Now, I had thrown Wham-O Frisbees since a young age, but I had difficulty making the transition to PDGA approved discs that were smaller in diameter and much heavier than what I was used to. I frequently went out into the field to practice, but I had a lot of difficulty throwing the Shark. Furthermore, I found the rim design to be very uncomfortable in comparison to other Innova models. Looking back, if I would have had a 150 class Shark to learn with, it would have been a much better experience for me. Over the years, I've managed to pick up at least one version of everything that Innova offers, and I also picked up a 147g Shark. I take it out with me into the field to practice with along with all of my other discs, and I get some decent throws with it (particularly the 147g, as opposed to the 180g), but neither of my Sharks make the cut for the game bag that I take along with me to play a round. I know that there are others who like Sharks, so you can read and consider their praise of it, but perhaps it's also helpful to hear from someone who thinks that a Shark isn't so much the "best all round golf disc," but rather a marketing compromise that makes the jack-of-all-trades a master-of-none.

When I first started playing disc golf, Terry West gave me a light shark. It was a good beginner's driver as it was easy to control. Now that I've progressed, it's still one of my favorite discs in the bag. Now, I find that it has excellent accuracy for the medium length approach shot. As for durability, I still hit the [more than] occasional tree. This disc really holds it flight characteristics well.

The Innova Shark is a slightly overstable medium driver disc. I recently traded my lightweight (about 140g) shark for a heavy exp1 driver because my shark flew much like my light weight teebird. I wanted a variation in my discs, so that's why I traded it. The shark is great for beginners because it is rather slow and floaty. Not much snap or angle is needed for this disc. It can be thrown any way you want (hyzer, anhyzer, s curve, straight), so it teaches beginners about different kinds of shots. it's very effective from medium to approach shots. It doesn't have the speed or power for long drive shots, but everything else it can do. The disc is a little larger than other drivers, so it gets more glide and less speed. My shark had suffered several blows, but it never affected the flight of it, so it must be durable.

The Shark is billed as the "best all around golf disc" by Innova. It flies right in high speed and slightly left in low speed fade. The Shark seems to me to be a cross between a a Roc and a Cobra. It will land and stay put like a Roc but has more speed and glide for longer midrange shots like a Cobra. My friends and I also use the Shark for long putts - it flies straight if released flat but can also get a gentle hyzer. We also use the Shark as a high power roller over uneven terrain or as a "wrecking ball" to blast out from behind a bush in the rough.

Goals of the Marketing Ph.D. Program
We want our program to be stimulating, enjoyable, a bonding experience with other Ph.D. students, and an experience of cooperation, not rivalry. New students get a great deal of help from those who have been in the program a year or two, and are expected to offer similar help a year or two down the road to other new students.
We encourage our students to seek placements as professors at research-oriented universities, and they do. We have placed graduates in a number of major programs, including INSEAD in France, the National University in Singapore, and in the U.S. Arizona State, Louisiana State University, Notre Dame, Texas A & M University, the University of California at Irvine, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Tennessee.
As faculty members, we treat our Ph.D. students like colleagues. You are.
Expectations and duties
The doctoral program is more than a series of courses. The overall goal is for you to develop as rapidly as possible into someone who can succeed in a research-oriented academic environment; someone who can conduct and present publishable research and who can teach competently. The following points are associated with this overall goal.
- You should begin taking the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, and Marketing Science. (Student membership in the American Marketing Association allows you to get these journals at reduced prices.) You also should read these journals to the best of your ability, and discuss material that puzzles or intrigues you with faculty members and fellow students.
- You are expected to attend departmental programs: research seminars and symposia.
- You are welcome to sit in any class, including those you are not taking for credit. If you wish to get a different professor's point of view on a doctoral course you already have taken, or if you wish to see how some faculty member covers some topic in an undergraduate or master's level course, just inform the faculty member that you would like to visit.
- You are expected to show initiative in your coursework and in your duties as a research assistant. Your future career will require you to set your own goals, learn how to solve problems on your own without detailed instructions, and get work done without constant supervision or a syllabus. There is no time like the present to begin practicing these skills.
- You should not think of your program as a series of courses or evaluate yourself in terms of grades in courses. The central program goal and basis for evaluation is overall ability to do good research.
The research assistantship is an important part of your program because it should provide "on the job training," a research apprenticeship. As mentioned above, you are expected to show initiative in research assistant duties. Also, you should expect to receive training via your assistantship. If this does not occur—for example, your duties do not progress beyond clerical tasks or simple library research—please advise the department chairperson and/or the doctoral program coordinator so they can arrange a better assignment.
- A quarter-time research assistantship presumably involves ten hours of effort per week during the semester. The workload usually varies across the semester, though, so that some weeks require more time and some less. Students are encouraged to be flexible in this regard as long as assistantship work does not interfere with coursework. In general, the idea would be that a research assistant is less concerned with counting hours than with getting the job done, but also does not hesitate to inform the supervising faculty member about time constraints resulting from other obligations.
- Your duties as a research assistant end with each semester. Please see a later section of this memo on incomplete grades as relating to this point: semesters end for Ph.D. students when they end for other students.
Teaching assistantships take two forms; grading assignments in which you help a faculty member grade a large class, and independent teaching assignments in which you teach the class. Most students will receive a grading assignment before receiving an independent teaching assignment.
As a grader, you are expected to attend classes, talk with the supervising instructor about his/her method and objectives of instruction, and generally prepare yourself for an independent assignment. Your work is unlikely to take more than 5 hours in most weeks, including time spent in class, but you must be prepared to work hard immediately after assignments are collected so they can be graded and returned quickly.
Our expectations are that you will strive to be a good teacher—and we will try to help you improve—and that you will be professional in your behavior. We expect you to prepare instructional notes for classes, not to miss classes, to treat students courteously and with appropriate professional distance, and to avoid criticizing the University and/or other instructors (including their assignments) to your students.
Except for students with special previous experience, we try to apply the following model of scheduling assignments. In your first semester or two in the program, you are assigned as a grader for a basic class and as a research assistant. In your second year, you are given an independent teaching assignment (one class of the course you have been grading, if possible) and you continue to work as a research assistant. After your second year in the program, you may be given either a research or teaching assignment. In total, our goal is for you to teach independently at least once during your program, but not to teach more than half the semesters you are in the program, and not to teach more than two different courses while you are here. Remember that this is a model schedule of assignments and that various constraints often prevent its complete application.
Grading and Evaluation
Each doctoral student is formally evaluated at least once per year, in June (evaluations also may be made at other times). Please see the college policies for a description of the basis for evaluation and evaluation categories. The most important consideration in the evaluation is your ability to do research, now and in the future. An evaluation of less than fully satisfactory progress (including dismissal) can result from various causes, such as poor grades or inadequate effort, but we most strongly emphasize ability to formulate, design, and conduct research.
Instructors of doctoral courses have been encouraged to grade conservatively, giving B and C grades as well as A grades, so do not be surprised or excessively discouraged by a B or C grade. A series of lower grades, of course, can lead to a negative evaluation or dismissal from the program. I grades (Incomplete) are not allowed except in special circumstances, defined by the university.

Someone I know has an account with one of these firms that offer cheap international calls by prepending a prefix to the number you dial. Frustrated that he couldn't register his work number with them to use it, he tried changing the caller ID his work phone issued to make it appear as if it came from his mobile, and lo, it worked - he could make international calls on his account. (His workplace is something telcoms related, and is set up to be able to change outgoing caller ID for legitimate work reasons)
Which, of course means that he could just as easily make international calls billed to anyone else's account, if he knows which phone numbers they have registered.
So, all that remains is to set up a premium rate phone service abroad, and let the scamming begin.
Please note, this scheme may not be legal.
I wrote IVR code to do precisely this.. authenticate and login to an account using caller-id (they call it ANI, authorized number identification).
It was even easier in my case.. Large companies basically give you a list of numbers and say "look, if anyone calls come from these numbers, let them through without authentication" (I asked everyone several variants of 'are you REALLY sure you want to do this'? but they still wanted it).. Find out the director's office number, change your caller-ID to respond wi

By Bob Salsberg, Associated Press Writer
BOSTON Management of The Boston Globe has proposed that wages for the newspaper's largest union be slashed about 23% to gain concessions of $10 million and keep the newspaper from closing.
The Globe, on its website, reported on what management called its "last best offer" Tuesday evening as negotiations resumed between officials of The New York Times Co., the Globe's parent, and the Boston Newspaper Guild. A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed the story to The Associated Press.
The Guild has offered a 3.5% pay cut for the 700 editorial, advertising and business employees it represents, plus three unpaid furlough days, for a total salary reduction of just under 5%. It said its offer represents more than the $10 million in concessions sought.
The Globe reported that the 23% wage reduction was first presented during a marathon negotiating session on Sunday. The Globe said a spokesman for the newspaper, Robert Powers, declined comment. Powers could not be reached by the AP late Tuesday.
The company had set a deadline of midnight Sunday to reach agreement with its unions to make $20 million in cuts. Times Co. struck agreements with six of seven unions at the Globe. Talks stalled with the Guild, but management backed off — at least temporarily — on a threat to file a notice required by federal law to begin the process of shutting down the newspaper.
The two sides gathered Tuesday night for further talks at a location outside Boston.
The Guild said it had offered more than the $10 million in concessions demanded from it by the Times Co., but that did not include changes to lifetime job guarantees, a key sticking point. At least one of the smaller unions agreed to changes in the guarantees for its members, but the Guild's president, Daniel Totten, has called ending that job protection a "nonstarter."
Nearly 470 employees across six unions have the guarantees, including about 190 Newspaper Guild members. Most got the promises in a contract ratified in 1994, shortly after the Times Co. bought the Globe for $1.1 billion, in exchange for other concessions at the time. Workers can still be fired for cause, but the newspaper says the guarantees reduce its ability to pare its operational structure.
The Times Co., which overall lost $74.5 million in the first quarter, has said that of all its newspaper properties, the Globe has been the most dramatically affected by the recession, the advertising downturn and the migration of readers online. The GGlobe had $50 million in operating losses in 2008 and is projected to lose $85 million this year.
Management said in a statement early Monday that it was disappointed it did not have a deal with the Guild, and said it was evaluating its alternatives under both the union contract and applicable law.

We asked Colgate professors what they've recently read for fun.
The responses were as varied and interesting as the people who submitted them — from memoir, historical fiction, and classic 20th-century literature to economic analysis, science fiction, and a graphic novel. So,
whether you're planning a week at the beach, a jaunt around the globe, or a "staycation" in your own backyard this summer, you're bound to find a book you'll treasure.
Marjane Satrapi
is a graphic novel about a little girl growing up during the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Marjane's stories about her daily activities provide an innocent yet profound depiction of life under a repressive regime and the hopes for change.
I quickly identified with Marjane, perhaps because she reminded me of myself as a 9-year-old (although I was never this cute!), trying to make sense of the revolt that eventually brought about democracy in Bangladesh in 1990. Some of the depictions felt like flashbacks: how the only television channel blocked out news of the revolt and showed 'happy' pictures all day; how the streets were deserted because of curfews; and how a foreign radio service provided the only credible source of information.
Revolutions are rarely alike in a political sense — different motivations and vested interests, different demands, different actors, different patrons. But Satrapi's portrayal shows that the impact of revolutions on ordinary people in autocratic regimes may not be that different after all.
>> Navine Murshid,
assistant professor of political science, organized the spring South Asian Film Series on campus. She loves to sing, cook, and paint but hates doing dishes. She moved to the United States in 2000 to attend college at Lawrence University.
The Pillars of the Earth
Ken Follett
I'm not much of a spy novel fan, so I wasn't entirely thrilled when my sister-in-law gave me a copy of Ken Follett's massive tome
The Pillars of the Earth
for Christmas a few years ago. But don't be put off by the author's name; and conversely, Follett fans should be forewarned: there are no secret codes or Russian temptresses here. This is, nevertheless, historical fiction of the most entertaining sort.
The Pillars of the Earth
tells the story of the construction of a Gothic cathedral in a fictional English town. Its depiction of how these massive structures came to be, whose interests they served, how they stood up, and how the technology improved over the course of the 12th century is carefully researched and artfully presented — so much so that I now assign this book as summer reading before my fall-semester Introduction to Architecture course. Students are fascinated to discover how an architectural commission of this scale — and the migrant quarrymen, masons, carpenters, and merchants it would attract — could be the economic engine that transforms a sleepy village into a powerful city.
In our globalized world of concrete and steel, digital design, and prefab components, even the most complex architectural undertakings are usually completed in under a year. Follett reveals the broad social ramifications of a major building project in the pre-modern era, and reminds us of the link we have lost between architecture and community.
>> Elizabeth Marlowe,
a visiting assistant professor of art and art history who specializes in Roman art, lived in Rome for two years as a Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy. This spring, she will appear on the History Channel talking about the Arch of Constantine and the origins of Christianity.
The Happiness Project
Gretchen Rubin
People around the world desire happiness and consider satisfaction essential to a life well lived. Academic psychologists have ignored this basic longing and instead have spent much of the last century enumerating human failings and plumbing the depths of human misery. But over the last decade, with attention turning to the study of happiness and flourishing, a new subfield — positive psychology — has blossomed.
In my Scientific Perspectives course The Good Life, students relish learning about the exciting findings from this new area of research on happiness (because, of course, they want to be happy). Yet, I always encounter at least one or two especially astute students who point out the limitations of this research. Specifically, they note, even if studies reveal some common processes associated with happiness, these processes might not yield happiness for every person who implements them.
The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun,
Gretchen Rubin chronicles her own deliberate pursuit of happiness. She tries to sort out which positive psychology findings hold true for her and which need to be supplemented by other sources of insight. Rubin is a reflective, well-educated lawyer-turned-writer with a voracious appetite for reading, so her sources are wide-ranging and include, among others, Benjamin Franklin, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, and Leo Tolstoy. In 12 corresponding chapters, Rubin devotes each month to a different arena of life, such as marriage, parenthood, leisure, money, work, attitudes, and eternity.
Although some readers might find it difficult to relate to her privileged background and lifestyle, Rubin is remarkably frank about her own shortcomings and struggles, and this makes her a more sympathetic guide. She demonstrates well that, when applied to a single life, positive psychology research has much to offer, but is far from cornering the market on guiding peopleto a good life.
>> Rebecca Shiner,
associate professor of psychology, has sung in a local madrigal group, and a funk group in college. She watches
The Colbert Report

because both routinely make her laugh out loud.
The Sparrow
Mary Doria Russell
The Sparrow
is not the typical book that I would pick to read for fun; I generally steer clear of "science fiction." But from the outset, Russell caught my attention and held it, even into the sequel (
Children of God
), by creating interesting characters who deal with the consequences that come from exploring a new world.
The Sparrow
tells the story of humankind's first encounter with an alien race. In 2019, a group of scientists at the Arecibo Observatory pick up radio transmissions from an alien planet, Rakhart. As Earth's governments slowly put together an expedition, the Society of Jesuits much more quickly forms a team of Jesuit priests, scientists, and doctors. The group departs in 2019 and, after a few transmissions of their scientific discoveries, is not heard from again until 2059, when a sole survivor, Jesuit priest Emilio Sandoz, arrives back on Earth.
The bulk of the novel is set in 2059. The Society of Jesuits are questioning Emilio, attempting to understand what happened on Rakhart and why only one person returned to Earth. As Emilio tells the story, we find out that, upon arriving on Rakhart, the group discovered two species of intelligent beings. Although they attempted to have no impact, they had deeply changed the social structure, leading to profound consequences. By the time Emilio returns to Earth, he has lost his faith and is trying to understand how so much harm could come from attempts to do good.
With its often emotionally wrenching and uncomfortable scenes, I remain uncertain as to my feelings about
The Sparrow
, yet it has drawn me to read it three times, and leads to plenty of interesting discussions. In fact, one of my readings was with a Madison, Wis., book club where
The Sparrow
won the award of producing the longest and liveliest discussion.

Light in August
William Faulkner
Over Christmas, I picked up William Faulkner's
Light in August
. It was tucked quietly into my bookshelf, next to his
As I Lay Dying,
and a couple of others. I admit I was a bit nervous.
Faulkner? For pleasure?
I recalled enjoying
As I Lay Dying
, but that was years ago, and I suspected that 20-something pretentiousness colored my review. I settled on a no-commitment policy — just a few pages, with the option to quit. I was immediately gripped.
The book opens with a pregnant (and barefoot!) girl, Lena Grove, walking, with dull-witted, mechanical certitude, in search of her baby's father, Lucas Burch, who is working, she has heard, at a planing (lumber) mill. What follows is — surprise! — a page-turner: a daringly plotted murder mystery in Jefferson, Miss. Lena Grove finds Lucas Burch, but by accident. Byron Bunch, not Burch, works at the mill and falls in love with her and seeks a disgraced Reverend Hightower to connive in the most generous act of caring for Lena and adopting the unborn baby as his own. Lucas is running a still with Joe Christmas, the most sympathetic character, a "mixed-blood negro" who passes for white, whose fault is to trust Lucas, and who may or may not be the murderer of a woman, an older white descendent of abolitionists whom he takes nightly in her bed more or less by force. (We meet Joe as a child hidden in the closet of an orphanage devouring gobs of toothpaste.)
Anthropologists tend to praise fiction in the highest terms as "ethnographic." This book could be ethnography. At least, I felt that I was riding a wagon into a humid, almost ectoplasmic, southern life-past along-

How Markets Fail: The Logic of
Economic Calamities
John Cassidy
How Markets Fail
surveys the history of economic theorizing and identifies the ways in which economists have fallen for various forms of "utopian economics" — an exaggerated belief in the efficacy of markets as the solution to social problems.
The biggest example of market failure would have to be the Great Recession, which was enabled by overzealous deregulation of financial markets and misplaced faith in the idea of a self-regulating market society. If you have been exposed to the standard curriculum in economics, this book will undo some of the damage. And it is readable; Cassidy is a regular at the
New Yorker
The two economists who come out as heroes are Hyman Minsky, an American Keynesian who spent his career being ostracized by the economics profession, and Paul Sweezy, a Marxist who founded the independent magazine
Monthly Review
. (Incidentally, his granddaughter is a Colgate graduate in economics.) Both foresaw the addiction of modern capitalism to debt financing, as well as the instability that it creates.
>> Thomas Michl,
professor of economics at Colgate since 1983, teaches a course on Marxian Political Economy. He's been leading the London Economics Study Group this semester.
Deaf Sentence
David Lodge
I've been a big fan of the English novelist David Lodge ever since 1991, when I first lived in Manchester (U.K.) as the director of Colgate's Manchester Study Group. My students and I read
Nice Work
(1988) as part of our study of the Manchester conurbation and its industrial past. My other favorites are
Out of the Shelter
(1970) and
Paradise News
(1991), and, of course, the satire of American and British academics in
Changing Places
(1975) and
Small World
(1984). I met Lodge briefly once at a conference in London — he wouldn't remember me — and his sense of humor was just as evident in person as on the page. He is famous for his sympathy and affection for his protagonists, whose lives always seem to turn out as well as one might hope under his relentless but gentle satire.
Deaf Sentence
is no exception. It is written about, and for, folks like me: middle 60s, increasingly hard of hearing, anxious about parents in their 90s, and forced to think more and more about the later stages of life. What a downer, you might think — not cheerful material. Yet Lodge manages to make Desmond Bates's misadventures both realistic and benign.
My copy is a Christmas gift from my 30-something daughters at a family reunion in honor of my almost–93-year-old father. Just as Desmond reflects on the promise of a new grandchild, at our reunion, my family celebrated a new baby coming soon.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Rebecca Skloot
One book, two takes
What a coincidence — of all the choices in the world, two professors recommended the same book. Maybe that says something about the book, but it also gives us a chance to see what people from two totally different disciplines thought about it — one who actually specializes in its subject matter, and one for whom it was a venture into unfamiliar territory.
This book tells the story of one of the most profound scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century: the ability to grow human cells in a culture dish. Although not exactly a subject that typically catches the attention of readers (outside of cell biologists!), Skloot's book is nevertheless thoroughly engaging, and became one of the most acclaimed books of 2010.
Far from dryly outlining a scientific technique, Skloot documents the life of Henrietta Lacks, a poor African-American woman whose tragic death from cervical cancer unwittingly changed the course of biology. Without her knowledge or consent, cells were taken from Lacks's tumor, becoming the first human cells successfully grown in culture. These cells, known as HeLa, led to a vaccine for polio and several other diseases, and remain an essential tool for biologists worldwide.
The main focus of the book, though, is the Lacks family, who were unaware of the existence of these cells for many years — and, despite the multi-billion dollar industry that developed from Henrietta's cells, did not receive any form of compensation. Their poignant discovery of the existence of the cells, and the subsequent impact of this knowledge on their lives, provides much of the emotional thrust of the book. Skloot spent 10 years researching the history of HeLa and developing a relationship with the Lacks family, and this labor of love results in a fantastic story that probes questions of bioethics and material ownership in the age of modern medical science.
On a personal level, I have used HeLa cells in the lab for many years without knowing the complete story about their origins, and this book truly influenced how I think about my research. I read it last summer while at a conference, and saw a large number of the other participants reading it as well — so it gets a "thumbs up" from the American Society for Virology!
>> Geoff Holm,
assistant professor of biology, teaches microbiology, immunology, and virology. He plays the violin with the Colgate University Orchestra and is into tennis and skiing.
I am an avid reader, but I must admit that books about the medical industry have never been high on my list of preferences. I therefore consider myself lucky to be a member of a local book club that has repeatedly exposed me to books I might never have chosen to read on my own. My favorite — one that I have already recommended to a wide array of readers — is Rebecca Skloot's
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The Immortal Life
documents two parallel histories: the origin and development of a line of human cancer cells that have been used extensively in medical research throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries, and the life and legacy of the poor African-American woman from whom these cells were taken, without her knowledge, in 1951. Skloot documents the lives of Henrietta Lacks's children and other family members, and thus delves into the human stories behind the famous HeLa line of cancer cells (named after the first two letters of her first and last names).
In delving into the history of Lacks and her family, Skloot simultaneously brings to light a seminal piece of modern medical history — a history entangled with such key issues as the invention of the polio vaccine, the struggle to discover a cure for cancer, and the evolution of doctrines of informed patient consent. Rarely have I read a book that has so thoroughly engaged me in a topic in which, initially, I thought I had no interest at all. This, in my mind, is the mark of a great piece of summer reading.

Stevie Wonder was today announced as the headline act for the closing night of this summer's Calling Festival at Clapham Common.
It will be the first time the soul legend has performed in London for four years.
The singer, 63, who will perform at the festival on June 29, has enjoyed a career spanning almost 50 years having released his first album when he was just 11 years old.
He last played in the capital when he headlined the same festival in 2010 when it was under the name Hard Rock Calling and was held at its former home in Hyde Park.
Richie Sambora highlighted his divide from Bon Jovi by being added to the bill as a solo artist. He joins the line-up as a solo act and will support the festival's other headline artists, Aerosmith, who play a day before Wonder on Saturday, June 28.
Sambora left the group in April last year for personal reasons although he and singer Jon Bon Jovi have hinted his departure is not for good.
Tickets go on sale on at 9am on Friday 11 April 2014 and are priced at £62.50 plus booking fee. Tickets are available at www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk

1/13 British Summer Time
Hyde Park, Jul 4-13
Black Sabbath will take centre-stage on July 4 to open proceedings, with support from Soundgarden and Faith No More. For serious rock fans who don't want to endure the epic Glastonbury experience – Neil Young and his heavyweight backing band Crazy Horse will dominate July 12, with indie statesmen The National and rousing piano man Tom Odell appearing earlier in the day. Sunday July 6 is aimed at screamy pop kids with their favourite star's name scrawled on their cheek in a loveheart, when the unholy union of McFly and Busted known as McBusted, plus more pop heartthrobs including the Backstreet Boys, The Vamps and Lawson take over. Tom Jones headlines the family day on July 13 and The Libertines wil reform for only the second time since their split a decade ago to play on July 5. Try to catch Phosphorescent, aka beardy singer-songwriter Matthew Houck, who is doing blissful things with harmonies and will make time stop during his marquee slot on July 12.
2/13 Somerset House Summer Series
Somerset House, Jul 10-20
Fans of slightly leftfield rock and pop, keen to see acts who'd normally be playing Brixton Academy or Shepherd's Bush Empire will flock to one of London's grandest outdoor spaces. It's a perfect setting. Eleven individual evening shows range from the edgy R&B of Kelis to the hushed torch songs of Denmark's Agnes Obel, from Bastille and Sam Smith's chart-friendly pop to the inventive electronica of Chvrches and Little Dragon. London trio Daughter, probably the least known band on the bill, with one stunning album to their name, last year's If You Leave, will be weaving their intricate, late night spell at the first show of the series.

3/13 Kew the Music
Kew Gardens, Jul 16-20
Picnickers necking champers on rugs outside Kew Palace in the company of some extremely impressive trees will be entertained by Jools Holland, plus rock music of a fine vintage from Elvis Costello and Simple Minds. Then there's lighter stuff from the long-running ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again and musical comedian Bill Bailey. Look out for Louise Marshall, a soul singer joining Marc Almond and Melanie C to sing with Jools.

Now in its 12th year, the festival founded by Groove Armada attracts a clubby, colourful crowd who can get their groove on to everything from vintage soul to dance music so up-to-the-minute you could set your watch by it. There'll be lively sets from drum and bass rabble rousers Chase and Status and Sri Lankan dance-rap queen MIA at the top of the bill, with Katy B providing the pop. Crystal Fighters and The Horrors offer rare blasts of indie rock, while classy electronica dominates with Banks, Mount Kimbie and Moderat. South London singer MNEK isn't yet a big name in his own right, but has sung on and written hits with Rudimental, Duke Dumont and Gorgon City, so dance fans should be clamouring to find out what he can do by himself.
5/13 Greenwich Music Time
Old Royal Naval College, Aug 20-23
Last seen in 2011 when it was known as the Greenwich Summer Sessions, this mini-run of outdoor shows by the river is back with a revamp, to attract fans of spectacular architecture whose musical tastes are more mainstream than attendees at the similarly nicely situated Somerset House. Four shows cover a broad base, from the impeccable mimickry of The Australian Pink Floyd to crossover classical star Russell Watson. The sounds of Goldfrapp's sumptuous new album should hit the spot in these surroundings, and if you've somehow managed to avoid Jools Holland all summer, now's your last chance.
6/13 South West Four
Clapham Common, Aug 23-24
This is London's only major pure dance festival, dominated by DJs over live acts, although the stunning stage set-ups of some of the disc-spinners will ensure all eyes are facing front. Who's on? Most of the serious clubbers who have absolutely no intention of sleeping over the bank holiday weekend will be excited about seeing deadmau5, he of the giant mouse head, and his blockbuster take on techno. Also high on the bill are British trance veterans Above & Beyond, who recently filled Alexandra Palace in their own right. Sweden's Alesso is creeping up the Top 100 DJs list, and Eric Prydz continues the Scandinavian theme. One of the few live acts on the bill is Belgium's Netsky, real name Boris Daenen, who makes tuneful drum and bass for the influential Hospital label. Check out the fine work on his imaginatively titled albums Netsky and 2.
7/13 Arctic Monkeys
Finsbury Park, May 23-24
The biggest outdoor show of London's summer that isn't a full festival, here Arctic Monkeys fulfil their potential as a rock band that can unite the broadest audiences. In attendance there'll be the same lager-chucking lad-rockers who were here for the Stone Roses reunion last summer, as well as those who thought the Sheffield quartet's latest album AM was the finest rock album of the past year – which is pretty much everyone really. On the supporting bill are Arctic Monkeys mini-me Miles Kane, fabulous Aussie psych rockers Tame Impala, and Royal Blood, a Brighton duo who do unhinged things with just drums, bass guitar and a wide selection of effects pedals.

8/13 We Are FSTVL
Damyn's Hall, Essex, May 24-25
This gem snapped up the much-coveted Best New Festival gong at last year's UK Festival Awards. This year's line-up reads like a who's who of dance music and is sure to cement the festival's reputation: Richie Hawtin, Disclosure, Fatboy Slim, Jamie Jones, Maya Jane Coles, Luciano, Sven Väth and Ricardo Villalobos.
9/13 Field Day
Victoria Park, Jun 7-8
Field Day is back in Hackney as a two-dayer for the first time, no doubt welcoming back its regular audience of Dalston types so hip that they'll claim to have already seen everyone on this esoteric seven-stage line-up, before riding off on their fixies to get their beards around some of the festival's craft beers and street food. The Pixies are the lone genuinely big name, while there's plenty of acclaimed arty pop from Metronomy, Sky Ferreira and Jagwar Mar, indie rock from The Horrors, Temples and Warpaint and electronic wizardry from Jon Hopkins, SOHN, Todd Terje, East India Youth and The Bohicas, Essex indie rockers newly signed to Arctic Monkeys/Franz Ferdinand label Domino, who set about their guitars with thrilling menace.
10/13 FOUND Festival
East London tbc, Sat Jun 14
Last year this was a bit of a Towie fest, but we're willling to give FOUND another go as its line-ups are always stellar. Booked for 2014 so far are Heidi, Bicep, Damian Lazarus, Magda and Anja Schneider.
Kris Cowley
11/13 Hampton Court Palace Festival
Hampton Court Palace, Jun 11-25
You're more likely to see bowties than wellies at this classy affair for 3,000 a night in the courtyard of the renowned Tudor pile. An older crowd brings its own picnics to settle into the surroundings before the music begins. There are two nights for Jools Holland, who's an obligatory presence at this kind of thing, as is revered grump Van Morrison. Dionne Warwick brings the classic soul and Mike Love will be there twice with his Brian Wilson-free Beach Boys line-up. Jamie Cullum brings the average age of the performers down a shade. Cutting-edge newcomers are thin on the ground here, but one less familiar name is New York tenor Noah Stewart, not long ago the first black singer to reach the top of the UK Classical Album Chart.

12/13 Calling
Clapham Common, Jun 28-29
Having moved from Hyde Park and no longer sponsored by the Hard Rock Cafe, the Calling brand seems to have scaled down. Usually it capitalises on being the same weekend as Glastonbury by nabbing some of the bigger festival's more venerable names while they're in the country anyway. This year Aerosmith headline the first night, with rockers Joe Bonamassa, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and Thunder in support, followed by Stevie Wonder on the Sunday. Even the least well known band on the bill at the moment, Walking Papers, are old-timers, a heavy riffing bunch featuring former Guns N' Roses man Duff McKagan. Faded denim jackets and balding pates will be the order of the day for the classic rock crowd. Expect to see lots of faces scrunched in ecstasy at the sound of yet another guitar solo.
13/13 Wireless
Finsbury Park, Jul 4-6
Men with neck tattoos and muscles like balloon animals and women with the bare minimum of clothing will gather to hear the hottest names in hip hop and R&B, including a US-heavy barrage of rappers including Kanye West, Drake and long-absent duo Outkast, singing smoothies such as Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke and the omnipresent Pharrell, plus the biggest stars in British pop, among them Tinie Tempah, Rudimental and Ellie Goulding. Look out for A$AP Ferg on the Saturday, the hip hop connoisseur's choice next to his more famous fellow New York crew member, A$AP Rocky.

Here we go again...
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today announced artists who will be eligible for induction in 2012. These nominees will be presented to voting members and typically 5 acts are chosen for induction.
Recent years offered up some pretty schmaltzy inductee choices that allowed Madonna and Abba, hardly rock and roll, to sneak in the doors of the Cleveland based hall.
Let's take a look at the list while providing some very high level comments. For a full description of the nominees "accomplishment" look here at the official press release.
- Beastie Boys
- The Cure
- Donovan
- Eric B. & Rakim
- Guns 'N Roses
- Heart
- Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
- Freddie King
- Laura Nyro
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Rufus and Chaka Khan
- The Small Faces/The Faces
- The Spinners
- Donna Summer
- War
Overall this is a terrific list of some truly worthy nominees. Not only are many real rock and roll, several were hugely influential which is generally the primary yardstick the RRHOF applies to induction.
Four shoe ins here.
Guns 'N Roses. If you need an explanation here, I really don't know what to say. "Appetite for Destruction" is one of the finest debut albums in Rock and Roll history containing several songs that will be in eternal rotation wherever rock music is played - I am thinking Hell. I think all these guys were on heroin at some point - not a requirement for induction, but it helps...
Beastie Boys. "License to Ill" a watershed for rap and marked the crossover from rock to rap and arguably helped further bring hip-hop to the mainstream. The Rock and Roll Hall already acknowledged the migration of R&B and Soul to rap with Run-D.M.C and Grandmaster Flash. These guys were trend setters and "you gotta fight for your right to party" is hip-hop that rocks!
Heart. OK, they may have damaged their reputation with their 80's output of future karaoke hits.Don't hold that against them. No one can argue that these two Seattle-based chicks rocked better and harder than any other female led band... except The Pretenders. Put on "Magic Man" or "Barracuda" - with that great original band, speak for themselves.
Freddie King. Clapton, Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn and literally hundreds of other blues-based players were influenced by this wonderfully fluid and soulful player. The RRHOF write up says King is part of the "DNA of the blues" and they are spot on. Just listen to "Hideaway" or the "The Stumble" - despite sounding incredibly simliar - the whole blues riff thing is all there. Such a shame he died so young.
After those acts I am not sure who gets in. Going down the list.
The Cure. Dudes who wore makeup, not so great. But they are one of the few new wave bands whose songs still sound great today. Too lightweight for the hall. This nomination makes some hall-haters put on thier mascara.
Donovan. Those 60's hits were groovy beyond belief. Always sound great wherever they pop up today. Never in the league of Dylan or other singer songwriters of that era in terms of influence, but he sold a ton of records and was at the center of all the action hanging with Beatles and Stones. Plus, he is such a nice guy no one will want to deny his entry and hurt his feelings. May be the best chance for the fifth nominee.
Eric B. & Rakim. Ask any hip hop aficionado, these guys are dope. If the Hall wants to one day let in Jay-Z these guys have to get it. Long shot for 2012.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Because the voters are afraid Joan will kick all thier asses if she doesn't get in, she stands a chance. The music though - "Bad Reputation!"
Laura Nyro. Hit maker for Three Dog Night and The 5th Dimension? Is that Rock and Roll? Alert - David Geffen "discovered" her. That may get her in.
Red Hot Chili Peppers. These guys rock, but apparently not enough as they have been passed over before.
Rufus with Chaka Kahn. Chaka Kahn may be the greatest name in the history of female singers. Not sure that the Stevie Wonder penned "Tell Me Something Good" is enough to qualify. Rufus was the launching pad for "the worlds most recorded drummer" JR Robinson however...
The Small Faces/The Faces. If one song qualifies an act for the hall, not sure "Stay with Me" is good enough. It's a good song but I prefer "I Love Rock and Roll."
The Spinners. These guys might have a better chance at being number 5 than Donovan. More hits, and maybe even better songs. Plus, the O'Jays induction might have cleared the way.
Donna Summer. I have gone on and on about why she should be in. Passed over several years now, maybe this will be her year? Perhaps the disco affiliation is too much. Opening the door for KC and the Sunshine Band getting in and the massive global vomiting that would ensue, might hurt her chances.
War. The variety and range of their tunes is incredible. Influential for sure. Maybe next year.
So there you go.
And of course the snubs remain that piss all the RRHOF haters off. KISS, Chicago, Moody Blues, Rush, Frampton, Journey, Boston, Jethro Tull, and on and on... You're never gonna please everyone.
All in all, a pretty good and deserving list.

Why would you want to dual boot a firewall? If you are just
experimenting with m0n0wall or using it for demonstrations, it would
be much easier to use the CDRom version. Just stick the CD and floppy
diskette in any system (with two NICs) and boot.
Make it even more portable use one of those 3 inch / 210 MB mini
CD-Rs. The jewel case for these mini CD-R is the same size as a floppy
diskette. Stick the CD-R and the diskette in a "Dual Diskette Case"
like the one Belkin sells in a 5 pack for $5US. Quick portable set for

Erick Sermon had the hip hop community worrying about his health after news broke on Saturday that the 42-year-old had experienced a heart attack. Few details were known, but Sermon finally reached out to GlobalGrind Sunday afternoon to say he was still in the hospital, but doing well.
"I'm good! I got two more tests on Monday and Tuesday then I'm home hopefully out Wednesday," he said.
DJ Scratch was the one who shared the news over Twitter Saturday writing, "Erick Sermon had a heart attack today. He's ok, but still send your prayers."
DJ Scratch once worked for legendary hip hop duo EPMD, which consisted of Sermon and rapper Parrish Smith.

Firm DescriptionD+DS architecture office was founded in 2007 by Ellen Depoorter and Jeroen De Schrijver in New York.
The office has a holistic approach to architecture and design. The experience of the user, the connection to the local context and the impact on the environment are at the basis of each project. The design is generated through the vetting and playing out of different concepts which feed the design. We work in the spirit of enquiry, challenging preconceptions and testing conventions in collaboration with the client and consultants.
The concept informs the structure, shape, materials, the ecology and energy performance of the building and the relationship of the building to the urban environment. This holistic approach is augmented by a strong commitment to the clients we serve and to the public domain and the many users involved. A high degree of personal service, coupled with respect for the precious resources of cost and time, characterise our client relationships.
We are very passionate and committed to working towards a contemporary architecture that has a real impact on the environment, quality of life and economy and hence creates thriving sustainable communities.
Our combined 25 years of experience ranges over a wide variety of scale, geographic location and program. The projects we work on range from urban projects to office towers, hospitality and residential projects, retail and work environments to art installations.

"The 'D' is silent," the slave-turned-bounty hunter Django (Jamie Foxx) informs people more than once in "Django Unchained." Of course, this being a Quentin Tarantino movie, it's the only thing that stays quiet in this bombastic and talkative action movie.
As he did with "Inglorious Basterds," Tarantino uses "Django Unchained" to riff on his favorite film genres. This time, it's Westerns (particularly the "spaghetti" variety) and blaxploitation flicks, which Tarantino references with gusto, humor and copious amounts of bloodshed.
When we first meet Foxx's Django, he's a slave in a chain gang being walked across the South. Then along comes a chatty German dentist, King Schmidt (Christoph Waltz), who wants to take Django off the hands of his slave traders which Schmidt does with a steady stream of witty banter and bullets.
Schmidt, he later tells Django, is a bounty hunter and he needs Django to identify a nasty trio of brothers that Schmidt seeks to bring in, dead or alive (though dead is easier). Django is attracted to the job: "Killing white folks and getting paid for it? What's not to like?," and soon becomes Schmidt's right-hand man.
But Django has another goal besides money. He aims to free his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), who is being held by a nasty Mississippi plantation owner, Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Django and Schmidt devise a scheme to get Broomhilda away from Candie, but carrying it out means going directly into Candie's lair and confronting not only the slaveowner but his sharp-eyed head servant, Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson).
Tarantino shows signs of maturity in "Django Unchained," more judiciously employing his various tricks such as anachronistic style choices, a penchant for "shocking" language (air-quotes intended), and winking inside references (here it's an extended cameo by Franco Nero, who played the title character in the 1966 European-made Western "Django").
Tarantino captures the Western feel from the first moments, with sweeping desert vistas and a Spanish-inflected country theme song. But he's not so stuck in the genre that he can't break out rapper Rick Ross or the late Jim Croce's "I Got a Name" where appropriate (and, weirdly enough, both soundtrack choices turn out to be quite appropriate).
Foxx embodies the hero Django with coolness to burn, and Jackson again shows how much he can do with a small role. But the highlight here is Waltz, who exudes the fast-talking charm that won him an Oscar playing a nasty Nazi in "Inglorious Basterds."
Not everything here works perfectly. A comic-relief bit involving hooded racists (led by Don Johnson) falls flat, and some of DiCaprio's histrionics are over the top. But Tarantino provides some meaty emotion in Django's journey from slavery to freedom that makes "Django Unchained" more than just a rummage around the director's really awesome DVD collection.

|U.S. Department of
Mine Safety and Health Administration
201 12th Street South, Suite 401
Arlington, VA 22202-5450
ISSUE DATE: July 8, 2010
Administrator for
Coal Mine Safety and Health
Acting Director for Educational Policy and Development
SUBJECT: Re-Issue P01-06 - Diesel Particulate Matter in Underground
Coal Mines - Training Program Guide
To whom does this bulletin apply?
This information bulletin applies to underground coal mine operators, independent contractors working at underground coal mines, and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) enforcement personnel.
What is the purpose of this bulletin?
This bulletin provides the underground coal mining industry with a training guide and sample lesson plan for use in complying with the miner health training regulations for diesel particulate matter (30 C.F.R. Section 72.510) that were effective May 21, 2001. The attached guide is designed to assist mine operators and independent contractors, along with the persons who will provide this training at the mines, in developing effective mine specific training programs.
The use of this guide is strictly voluntary, and you are encouraged to modify the program to meet your own specific needs.
Does this training have to be included under my Part 48 Training Program?
The training required by Part 72 can be conducted within a Part 48 training program or as a separate program. If you choose to incorporate this training into Part 48, you must submit a revised training plan to the appropriate MSHA district office for approval; and all applicable Part 48 requirements must be met. If conducted separately from Part 48, there are no specifications on trainer qualifications, no minimal training time, and no training plans. This guide is designed to be used whether you choose to conduct the training under Part 48 or as a separate program under Part 72.
What is the background information for this bulletin?
Underground coal miners who are exposed to high concentrations of diesel particulate matter may face a significantly greater risk than other workers of developing such diseases as lung cancer, heart failure, serious allergic responses, and other cardiopulmonary problems. The Mine Safety and Health Administration standard to protect underground coal miners from diesel exhaust particulate matter was effective as of May 21, 2001. The new rules, which require annual training for all underground coal miners who can reasonably be expected to be exposed to diesel emissions, will help to ensure that miner exposures do not exceed dangerous levels and cause injury or disease.
What is the authority for this bulletin?
