Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises, and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.
"I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers." January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"Aparte de mi interés en su "interés"por la lectura, me he enamorado de dos hombres: Eben Ramsey y Dawsey Adams. También me gustan Clovis Fossey y John Booker. Quiero que Amelia Maugery me adopte, y yo quiero adoptar a Isola Pribby. Voy a dejar que adivines mis sentimientos por Adelaide Addison (señorita) cuando leas sus cartas."Juliet
"Alguna vez te has parado a pensar que el hombre tenía un alma, que no son solo habladurías, sino que !era una verdad conocida y que en la práctica seguían!. En verdad, era otro mundo....pero aun así, es una pena que hayamos perdido la capacidad de oir a nuestra alma...en realidad, deberíamos ir de nuevo en su búsqueda o peores cosas nos ocurrirán. No es significativo que conozcas tu alma por lo que dicen los demás en lugar de por ti mismo? Por qué tendría que dejar que un parroco me dijera si tengo una o no? Si puedo creer por mi mismo que tengo un alma, entonces puedo escuchar, yo solo, lo que me dice."Will Thisbee
"P.S. I did not throw "The Shepherd Boy Sings in the Valley of Humiliation" at the audience. I threw it at the elocution mistress. I meant to cast it at her feet, but I missed."Juliet Ashton

"I think she'll want to kiss him for it. You can too- but keep it short. I make no threats, Juliet- but Ivor is mine."Susan to Juliet
"P.S. Thank you for the lovely clipping of Mark dancing with Ursula Fent. If you were hoping to send me into a jealous rage, you failed. Especially as Mark had already telephoned to tell me that Ursula follows him about like a lovesick bloodhound. You see? The two of you do have something in common: you both want me to be miserable. Perhaps you could start a club."Juliet to Sidney
"'Life goes on.' What nonsense, I thought, of course it doesn't. It's death that goes on."Amelia Maugery
"No flowers or vines can cover over such memories as these, can they? I have told you the most hateful story of the war."Amelia Maugery
"That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment."Juliet to Dawsey
""Think of it, friends," Augustus said, " a lifetime of misery with God not letting you draw one easy breath. Then in your last few minutes - POOF! - you'd get Mercy. Thanks for nothing I say.""from Juliet to Sidney

"I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with."Juliet
"Have you ever noticed that when your mind is awakened, or drawn to someone new, that persons name suddenly pops up everywhere you go? My friend Sophie calls it coincidence, and Mr. Simplus, my parson friend, calls it grace. He thinks that if one cares deeply about someone or something new, one throws a kind of energy out into the world; and fruitfulness is drawn in."Juliet
"We are transformed - magically - into the literary society each time we pass a book along, each time we ask a question aboutt it, each time we say, 'If you liked that, I'd bet you'd like this'. Whenever we are willing to be delighted and share our delight, as Mary Ann did, we are part of the ongoing story of 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"."Annie Barrows

Girls Basketball:
Bishop Amat 51, Ventura 48
The head coaches met before tip-off and joked about how boring the game would probably be for the average fan.
They figured two girls basketball teams that liked to drain the shot clock on each possession and play good defense would not produce high theatrics.
They couldn't have been more wrong.
In front a nearly packed Bob Tuttle Gymnasium crowd, Ventura High and Bishop Amat staged a competitive battle that went down to the wire.
Despite a valiant effort by junior forward Kai Irby, fifth-seeded Ventura lost to top-seeded Bishop Amat 51-48 in the CIF-Southern Section Division 1A semifinals on Tuesday night at Ventura High.
Irby played the best game of her career by far, scoring 28 points and grabbing 13 rebounds to keep Ventura within striking distance of an upset.
But Bishop Amat had just enough in the end to hold off Ventura and advance to a CIF-SS championship game for the second straight year.
"We never gave up no matter what. We just don't have that attitude," Irby said. "I didn't think they were any better than us, but I think we just made some critical mistakes that cost us in the end."
For the second straight game, Ventura (25-7) fell into an early hole. The Cougars trailed Bishop Amat 10-0, missing their first six shots and committing five turnovers.
Ventura went nearly seven minutes before scoring its first points on a layup by Haley Litten.
But that's when Irby put Ventura's offense on her back. Her spinning bank shot in the lane tied the game 12-12 in the second quarter, marking the only time Ventura would draw even with the Lancers.
After Bishop Amat (23-8) extended its lead to nine points, Irby scored on a putback at the start of the fourth quarter that cut Ventura's deficit to just one point.
Bishop Amat appeared to have swung the momentum in its favor for good when Mauriana Clayton completed a 3-point play with 3:12 remaining for a 45-38 lead.
But Ventura staged one more furious rally, punctuated by Irby's 3-point play on a putback while falling down. The ensuing free throw drew Ventura to within 49-48 with 33 seconds left.
Paulina Santana hit two free throws for Bishop Amat with 11 seconds to go, giving Bishop Amat a three-point lead.
Ventura had two chances in the final seconds to tie, but threw the ball away on one possession and had a three-quarters court heave partially blocked at the buzzer.
"My game plan was completely wrong to start the game. I didn't think they would shoot that well and they shot the lights out," Ventura coach Ann Larson said. "Give our kids credit, they adapted on the fly and completely changed. They never quit and I am so proud of them. There were about three or four times they could have thrown in the towel and they didn't."
Although Bishop Amat shot well from the field (16 of 32), the Lancers allowed Ventura to keep it close by going just 12 of 25 from the free-throw line. Santana scored 18 points for Bishop Amat and Clayton had 15.
(View the Basketball Playoffs: Ventura vs Bishop Anmat slide show.)
But Irby was the clear individual star of the game. She would have eclipsed the 30-point plateau if not for a few missed shots inside at the start.
"She showed a level of competitiveness that was incredible," Larson said. "She is the perfect example of a kid that didn't want to lose and did everything in her power to fight that."
Irby was inspired by the high stakes of the showdown.
"I play a lot better under pressure in my opinion. Coach Larson might disagree," Irby said. "But I wanted to do it for my team and for the seniors. That was really all that was in my mind."
Despite the loss, the season is not over for Ventura. The Cougars will play in the state regional playoffs starting next week.
"Everyone was crying in the locker room because we put our all into everything and came so close," Irby said. "Basketball is our life and we spend day in and day out in this gym. We live here and we love doing it. I'm glad we get one more chance."

Youths who check out items from the two public library systems in Whatcom County no longer will be charged late fees beginning Jan. 1.
The intent is to support early learning by getting library cards into youngsters' hands.
Ending overdue fees will help with that effort because parents have told library staff that such fines make them reluctant to get library cards for their children.
"In order for kids and libraries to get together, you've got to break down whatever barriers you can," said Lizz Roberts, community relations coordinator for Whatcom County Library System.
The change by Bellingham Public Library and Whatcom County Library System will affect card holders 17 and younger who check out children and teen materials - such as books, movies and magazines.
Youths who fail to return those items on time will be notified that they're overdue. They will be charged the cost of replacing items that are 60 days overdue.
"It has less to do with revenue for us than to make sure that the materials are returned in a timely fashion so that others may enjoy them," said Regan Robinson, public services manager for the County Library System.
Youngsters still will face overdue fines if they check out materials meant for adults and don't return them in time.
The two library systems are separate organizations but coordinate their policies because cardholders use both.
So having both library systems eliminate overdue fines for children will save confusion. And while that's one reason for the coordinated effort, library officials said it's also about starting kids on a path of lifelong learning by making it possible for them to have access to many books.
A 2010 study titled "Scholarly culture and educational success in 27 nations" found that children who have 500 or more books in their homes get an average of three more years of schooling than children in homes without books - regardless of their parents' occupation, education and socio-economic background.
The common theme is valuing books and having books in the home, Christine Perkins, assistant director for Bellingham Public Library, noted of the study.
"Libraries can get those books into the home for people," she said. "However we can do that, we think we're making a big impact."
The Jan. 1 change isn't expected to have much of an impact on the total amount of overdue fines collected, officials for both library systems said.
Whatcom and Bellingham libraries are coordinating their efforts in two other ways starting in the New Year:
? Whatcom will increase fines on overdue adult materials to 25 cents an item a day, to match Bellingham. It's the first time adult fines were increased since they were begun by Whatcom in the 1990s.
? Both libraries will move to a two-day grace period for overdue library items. Whatcom now has a grace period of two to seven days, depending on the items checked out.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the son and brother of presidents, says the United States should overhaul its laws to make immigration easier and to give illegal immigrants a way to legal residence, not citizenship.
Bush lays out his plan with co-author Clint Bolick in the new book Immigration Wars. Bush tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that they propose legalizing undocumented immigrants "after there is a recognition that if people come here illegally, they have to pay a fine or do community service [and] make sure they don't commit any serious crimes."

On the shores of Lake Michigan, the tiny town of Ludington, Mich., is home port to the last coal-fired ferry in the U.S. The SS Badger has been making trips across the lake to Manitowoc, Wis., during the good-weather months since 1953. And as it runs, the 411-foot ferry discharges coal ash slurry directly into the lake.
An Environmental Protection Agency permit allows the Badger to dump four tons of ash into the lake daily. But now, the agency has put the permit under review — and that means the Badger could stop sailing.
As environmentalists protest a western pipeline, northern New England towns also worry that a pipeline that crosses the region will soon carry tar sands oil from western Canada. Their concerns were heightened recently when the CEO of a local pipeline company told Vermont lawmakers he's looking for new business — including shipping the controversial heavy crude. Two dozen Vermont towns will consider the issue at their annual meetings this month.

While delivering patient care has always been a primary goal of health care organizations, financial outcomes have long been the metric by which success is measured. Increasingly, however, health care leaders are being held accountable for both medical and financial outcomes. As a result, health care executives and providers must understand the determinants of organizational effectiveness—strategy, finance, operations, and leadership.
This leadership development program provides a transformational learning experience that goes far beyond the traditional debate over health care costs. In this global offering, you will examine the critical processes required to develop and implement a superior health care delivery system.
Taking place in Boston, a US hub for health care, this intensive three-week program, delivered over a nine-month period, incorporates an array of international, real-world case studies, classroom exercises, and action learning. You will build new skills in strategy, finance, operations, and leadership, while acquiring global perspectives and models for care delivery innovation.
The program equips you with knowledge, tools, and models structured around three main concepts—designing your organization from the ground up, managing performance, and improving and innovating over time.
This program is designed for clinical and nonclinical executives of large established health care delivery organizations. To foster teamwork and maximize the learning impact, teams of individuals from the same organization are encouraged to apply.
Established in 2005, the HBS Health Care Initiative (HCI) serves as a gateway for health care research, educational programs, and collaboration. Priority is placed on applying the best principles of management, entrepreneurship, and innovation to help reshape this complex industry. The HCI engages with faculty, students, alumni, Executive Education participants, and many other parts of Harvard University. Through this powerful alliance of key stakeholders, HBS aims to educate leaders who will make an immediate and lasting impact by developing business models that offer the hope of improved outcomes, reduced costs, and enhanced services. For more information about related activities at Harvard Business School, please visit the Health Care Initiative website.
A limited number of needs-based partial scholarships are available to be applied toward program tuition. After applying and being accepted to the program, participants may send a brief statement of need for review by the financial aid committee.

LOYOLA MAROON VOL. XIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 11, 1968 No. 5 Eleven inducted into Blue Key Formal tapping set Oct. 20 Eleven Loyola seniors have been elected to Blue Key National Honor Fraternity and will be formally tapped into the organization at ceremonies Sunday, Oct. 20, in the A La Carte Room of Danna Center. In addition, two prominent citizens of the state have been chosen by the Blue Key Chapter as honorary members of the organization. They are Justice Mack E. Barham of the Louisiana Supreme Court and Norman C. Francis, president of Xavier University. The eleven Loyola seniors chosen for membership are Leroy J. Boudreaux, Edmund T. Curda, David E. Doerle, Robert J. Fritz, T. Robert Lacour, Edward K. Lahey, Ronald P. Nabonne, Peter C. Rizzo, Mark V. Silverio, Kurt F. Sins and Harvey L. Stray han. Membership in Blue Key is generally considered to be the highest honor a male student at Loyola can receive. Blue Key moved away from its traditional practice in choosing a new set of members during the fall semester. In the past, the organization has inducted members in the spring semester. However, Blue Key president Mike Nolan explained that the organization decided to elect a group of seniors to membership at this time so that these new members could participate in the activities of Blue Key throughout the year. He said that, when seniors are chosen at the end of the school year, they have no time to participate fully. Selection to Blue Key is mainly based on a person's leadership abilities. Boudreaux is a senior in dental school and lives in New Orleans. He is the president of the C. Victor Vignes Odontological Society, is listed in Who's Who Among Student's in American Colleges and Universities and is the secretary-treasurer of his class. Curda, a senior in the College of Arts and Science and a native of Azle, Tex., is the editor of the Loyola yearbook, the Wolf. He is an honor student, former associate editor of the Maroon, and a member' of Alpha Sigma Nu, national Jesuit Honor Society. Doerle is a dental senior from New Iberia, La. He is class president, a member of C. Victor Vignes Odontological Society and a member of Delta Sigma Delta dental fraternity. A resident of New Orleans, Fritz is a senior in law school.

LEROY BOUDREAUX EDMUND CURDA DAVID DOERLE ROBERT FRITZ T. ROBERT LACOUR Alcoholic beverages policy being considered by SAPAC By GARY ATKINS (Maroon Desk Editor) There may soon be a written university policy concerning the use of alcoholic beverages on campus. The Student Affairs Policy Advisory Committee (SAPAC) this week began considering a proposal to formulate university policy concerning the use of alcoholic beverages at Loyola. "My impression was that it could only be consumed in the Danna Center," the Rev. J. Joseph Molloy, S.J., vice-president for student affairs, told the committee. But he has been unable to find any written university policy limiting alcohol to the student center, he said. "We've been getting complaints from our security and maintenance people," he said, about beer cans being strewn about the grounds and in classrooms. He said there had also been complaints that beer cans were being left in classrooms in Temple Sinai. The administration must be able to tell the campus security men what to do "when they see students opening up the trunks of their cars and getting beer and wine from there," he said. Henry Engler, chairman of the committee, proposed that the consumption of alcoholic beverage be limited to the Danna Center and the Field House during athletic functions, but the proposal failed. The matter was then tabled. A university policy on the matter is necessary, Father Molloy said, to clear up "the debris problem in classrooms and on the grounds and to head off disorderly conduct" caused by excessive drinking. One of the student representatives, Billy Guste, argued that instead of a general policy the committee should recommend a few specific rules on the subject. "We should avoid putting on a piece of paper something students could tear apart and react against," he said. "If I was a student who generally got drunk on campus," he said, "and the university had a policy statement, nothing would keep me from getting drunk off-campus and coming back and doing the same disorderly things on-campus." "I think we're going to invite disorderly conduct," Guste said, "if we tell people they can't have beer out in that field between the dorms." Father Molloy suggested that the committee could do one of two things—propose a policy statement for immediate implementation or propose a statement which would be included in the L-Book next year and go into effect then. In other business, SAPAC also formed a subcommittee in response to criticism of the university's policy on disruptive demonstrations. The policy details steps which will be taken in the event of a "disruptive demonstration" but does not define what is meant by disruptive. Some students have referred to the word as being too vague. The members of the subcommittee are: the Rev. Alvin Holloway, S.J., administration representative; the Rev. Orlando Saa, S.J., faculty representative; and Billy Guste, student representative. In addition to defining "disruptive," SAPAC was asked to clarify the meaning of "reasonable time" in the policy. The first step of the demonstrations policy is to give the protestors a "reasonable time to disperse," with the time being decided by the vice-president for student affairs. The motion to define "reasonable time" was tabled until the subcommittee formulates a definition of "disruptive demonstration." The Student Council two weeks ago had passed a motion asking the administration to clarify the meaning of the two terms and the matter was referred to SAP AC. The council was asked to send an official representative to the SAP AC meeting since the council had requested the clairification, but there was no official representative present. SAPAC also approved two statements concerning its own purpose and procedures for its meetings. The purpose of the committee is to act as a "sounding board" and advisory board to the vice-president for student affairs and "when appropriate" to provide "the initiative for bringing policy matters to the attention" of the student affairs office. The establishment of an advisory committee to the student affairs office was recommended by the student rights policy. All regular meetings of the committee are open to any member of the university community. Six plays scheduled by University Theatre The Loyola University Theatre is planning its largest production schedule in history for the 1968-69 season, according to the chairman of the Department of Drama-Speech, Dr. Donald Brady. In addition, two new theatre studios are scheduled to be operative by December, he said. One will be devoted to student-directed productions; the other to underground theatre work. The theatre is planning to present six plays this year, leading off on Oct. 18 with Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author." The play is prepared and directed by Dr. Brady and will run through Oct. 20 in Marquette Theatre. The second production will be Sophocles' "Antigone" directed by Leo C. Zinser, instructor in the drama-speech department. The play will be in Marquette Theatre and will run from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23. Two student-directed works, Thornton Wilder's "The Long Christmas Dinner" and Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape" will be presented on a twin bill in December. Both plays are one act dramas. During the spring semester, the department plans to present the French playwright Henry de Monthelant's "Port-Royal" if it can obtain permission from the playwright's representative. The sixth play has not been announced yet. As to the underground theater series, Dr. Brady said the theatre intended to "produce those plays which are normally non-producable in New Orleans and in most cities because of community and financial pressures." "The Loyola Underground Theatre will be neither shamelessly tame nor artsy-crafty obscure," he said. Admission to the theatre will be by season subscription only since no individual tickets will be sold. He said the season for the theatre would be announced only through the mail to subscribers. The only publicly-announcable work, he said, would be "an evening of sensations titled 'Feelie Five'." PAINT-IN —Five Loyola coeds get down on all fours as they express themselves on canvas during the Fine Arts Committee's Paint In held Wednesday afternoon on the porch of Danna Center. The event was one of many activities held during Union Week. Yearbook subscriptions Subscriptions for the 1969 Wolf are still being sold in the finance office for $7.50 per copy. Subscription sales will remain open until October 31. Ed Curda, 1969 Wolf editor, said that all students wanting a copy of the 1969 yearbook must subscribe by October 31. Those who do not, he said, will not be entitled to a book. Council takes action on parking problem By KATHY ROSE (Maroon Staff Reporter) Only cars with Loyola parking stickers will be allowed to enter the driveway by the Holy Name of Jesus Church during the New Orleans Saints and the Buccaneers game, reported Ed Lahey, A&S senior, at the Student Council meeting Tuesday. Lahey heads the parking committee for the Student Council. In a previous meeting the council voted to form the parking committee to investigate parking problems on campus. The main complaints have been against non-students taking up space that students with stickers are guaranteed. The area from the entrance on St. Charles Ave. by Holy Name of Jesus Church to the exit by LaSalle Court is the area reserved for students. Lahey said only junior and senior dorm students are entitled to stickers. The Parking Committee met with Capt. Edward Stevens of the Loyola security force and members of the administration's Parking Committee. It was decided that an extra guard will be stationed at the entrance of LaSalle Court from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for New Orleans Saints games, which are played at nearby Tulane Stadium. No vehicle will be allowed to enter LaSalle Ct. without a Loyola student parking sticker. These actions are subject to the final approval of the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J. David Lagarde, president of the Men's Intramural Board, gave a special report on the intramural program. There have been complaints in the past meetings concerning the conflicts in scheduling between intramural games and events slated by Audubon Park, where the intramural Held is located. Lagarde reported that in 1966 Loyola donated $8,000 in lighting equipment to the Audubon Park Commission. Loyola, however, has no contract with the commission concerning game schedules. This is entirely up to the "whim of the board," Lagarde said. The council also passed a motion to form a committee to investigate the possibilities of a definite contract between Loyola and the Audubon Park Commission. In other business of the council, Bernie Arghiere, president of the Student Union, said that the snack bar will not remain open until 9 p.m. after this week. Arghiere reported that Saga said it has lost $216 in the trial-period when Saga kept the snack bar open until 9 p.m. After this week, Arghiere said, Saga will meet with members of his committee to discuss future snack bar hours. David Segal, a representative from Law School, again suggested that the Loyola Maroon be censored by the council. The motion was defeated. Archbishop to meet students Archbishop Philip M. I human of New Orleans will meet with Loyola students in a dialogue Wednesday, Oct. 16, in the A La Carte room of Danna Center at 8 p.m. Loyola's chaplain, the Rev. Harold Cohen, S.J., said the meeting will be an opportunity "for the students to manifest to the bishop exactly how they feel." The meeting is open to all Loyola and Dominican College students and will not necessarily consist of a formal speech by the archbishop followed by a formal question and answer period. There will be no head table, only a podium. The bishop is scheduled to open the meeting with a few remarks. Then the floor will be open to discussion.discussion.During this time, students may not only ask questions but may comment on issues that are of interest to them. The subject of the evening's dialogue is "The Church and the University Student," which some students and faculty members feel is broad enough to cover any subject that may be put forward. Father Cohen said that the discussion is scheduled to end at about 9:30 p.m. and that refreshments will be served at this time. He said the archbishop will remain during the refreshment period and that informal and spontaneous conversations will continue.ARCHBISHOP PHILIP HANNAN (continued on page J)

More items from my deco collection. Here is a bevy of "Spherical Miracle" thermoses, circa 1935. These are all 5 colors that were produced with chrome bases and handles. The top of the spheres are enameled (except for the black one, which is reversed) and have matching stoppers. The black and chrome combination is the most common, and I've only seen the other pastel, Easter egg colors a handful of times. This great design for such a utilitarian object was created by the American Thermos Bottle Company in Norwich Connecticut. The design of the "Spherical Miracle" is often attributed to famed industrial designer, Raymond Loewy. However, it was in fact designed by Roger Nowland and Peter Schladermundt.

The da Vinci Residential Learning Community celebrates Italian heritage and culture with a focus on science and engineering. Although the academic interests of our residents reflect those of the famous Leonardo, and many of our members major in science or engineering, others study the arts, humanities and business. Some non-resident students belong to da Vinci, participate in our events and make Casa Italiana their home base while they're on campus.
Many da Vinci students stay together throughout their four years at Santa Clara. Freshmen usually live in suites with sophomores; this helps younger students make new friends and learn from their more experienced peers. Moreover, older students pass on our community traditions to new members. These include frequent community events including the weekly "Atom Blast" gaming night and the da Vinci Café. Other programs occur less frequently. For example, on the first night of every quarter, Prima Notte, half of the residents cook a spaghetti dinner for the other half. Also, at the beginning of the academic year the entire community comes together to celebrate da Vinci Day with various competitions such as a bocce ball tournament, a pizza dough throwing contest, a pasta sauce cook-off and an egg drop contest, as well as a variety of other games and races.

text: —In the northern Rio Grande pueblos knitted or crocheted leggings of white cotton cord are often worn by dancers today (pl. 27). They may be fringed on the outside or up the front with cotton cord, and by various groupings of stitches patterns are worked into the body of the garments. Some of these leggings appear to cover the knee; others are only of knee length and are held in place by woven garters. A kneelength knitted legging of dark wool is also found in nearly all the villages. At Zuñi the leaders who are priests, and the impersonators of the female deities, often wear them (pl. 38). Investigators who visited the pueblos in the latter part of the nineteenth century saw them on both old men and old women as part of the everyday dress in cold weather.[44] As a protective garment, red-brown deerskin leggings (pl. 33) were worn above the moccasins by men. Each one was made of a single piece of tanned skin wrapped about the leg and secured by a woven garter tied just below the knee. They may be seen today in the western pueblos.[45]

LIVERPOOL -- Chiyeko Ogata waited with baited breath to hear from her family and friends in Japan, after a massive earthquake shook the country, a tsunami washed away villages and now nuclear radiation threatens some residents.
"I just couldn't think," said Ogata. "I'm just so overwhelmed with what happened."
It took 8 hours to get a hold of her sister who lives in Southern Japan. She is okay but tens of thousands who live Northeast of Tokyo, the hardest hit area, are now left with nothing.
Ogata is planning a fundraiser at her Japanese steakhouse, Ichiban in Liverpool, to benefit her native country. "I hope other Japanese people in this country will help," she said.
"It just makes you feel fortunate for all we have," said Bridget Hodgson.
The shocking images of the powerful Tsunami crushing towns and the aftermath of despair and rubble are too difficult for Ogata to watch. "We have visited those areas," she said "It's quite a shock."
Ogata hopes to raise $10,000 for the relief effort and the donations are already coming in. "The response we are getting from the regular customers, it's just overwhelming. I'm so touched by the kindness," she said.
The Pancake and Sushi Breakfast Buffet is Sunday, March 27th from 11 AM to 2 PM. Tickets are $25 and you are asked to make a reservation to help the restaurant get a head count. Ichiban also plans to sell gift certificates at half off. The proceeds will benefit the victims in Japan.

My latest short film "Brothers in Crime" was finished at the beginning of 2011 but I held onto it for the majority of the year as we were planning to shoot additional episodes and turn it into a web series but things change and here it is for you right now. I may go back to it and expand it or I may not, it really depends on if people are enjoying this tiny slice of the narrative.
The initial inception for this short was to be part of three or four films that would be directed by myself and my friend Illya Klymkiw that all focused on different types of relationships. If my memory serves me correctly the first one was going to be this film about brothers and the second one would be about the boyfriend/girlfriend dynamic (lovers). There would be one about father/son relationships and the final one would be about mother/daughter relationships.
They were all supposed to be dark comedies that border partially on the absurd but they never ended up getting off the ground. Maybe well revisit them in 2012.
I had a lot of fun making this over the course of a weekend and am pleased with how it turned out for such a quick little project.
If you like the short please share it, thanks!

A TOP-quality hotel could be incorporated into redevelopment of the defunct Harcourt Sands Holiday Centre, outside Ryde.
The potential developer of the Isle of Wight holiday centre, which has been shut for several years, has agreed to actively market one acre of the seafront site to attract quality hotel and conference facilities.
It said it would make the land available at subsidised cost to enable a developer to come forward.
ZeroC has also pledged to construct a new car park on part of Harcourt Sands for use of visitors to the next door Puckpool Park and also investigate what can be done to improve the park as an attraction.
The hotel and car park emerged from two days of public consultation last week, where councillors, business leaders and members of the public brought their "wish lists".
The company also pledged to maintain a green buffer between the Puckpool promenade and its development.
ZeroC managing director, Kim Slowe, said: "It is an exciting and a challenging site to develop and we would envisage it being able to support between 150 and 200 homes.
"A lot of potential developers are scared off from coming to the Island but we have been encouraged by the support and assistance we have received.
"We came to the consultation with genuine open minds and will be working with the chamber of commerce, Ryde Business Association, the councils and local people to come forward with a scheme.
"We hope to do that in October, to consult again and submit a planning application in the spring."

American History Transformed, Watch the New Museum Evolve
All week long we've been writing about tomorrow's grand reopening of the National Museum of American History, and now you can get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the building as it is transformed. Watch the above video to see the stark differences between the museum of old and today's stunning transformation.
One story from a family of museum fans:
In 2006, the Dubose family from Largo, Maryland had been touring the American History museum on its last day before it was shuttered for its two-year, $85 million renovation. At closing time, the Smithsonian guards ordered the remaining stragglers to leave the building, but Mrs. Demetria Dubose had to make a quick visit to the ladies room. Thus she and her family earned an ignoble 15 minutes of fame, posing for posterity with the museum's director Brent Glass.
"Two-years went by fast," Demetria Dubose laughed as she told us the story at last weekend's sneak-peek preview. The last-to-leave Duboses were invited back to be among the first to see the new museum. Looking around the place, Demetria marveled at the new atrium. "A wonderful infusion of old and new," she declared, "very fresh and open."

As any sufferer of erectile dysfunction will agree, this condition has the tendency to slowly get one into the world of frustration by resulting in orgasm less nights. The subject become highly irritated and even an understanding partner fails to remove such feelings. The inability to get a proper erection leaves you gasping for pleasure which is fdmrsqpjgtpwfully yours. In many cases erection may be proper but simply die down at that fdmrsqpjgtpw moment. This leaves a sour and hard to understand aftertaste.
The reason can vary from purely functional reasons like blocked veins caused by diabetes to purely psychological like too much stress and anxiety. There might also be both functional and psychological reasons creating a vicious cycle where one leads to the another and so forth.
Before the arrival of erectile dysfunction drugs, aerobic exercises and dietary supplements were the jmodxrstay. However their efficacy was quite limited leading medical practitioners to suggest more drastic solutions like penis injections and pills. However these things cause hard to tolerate side effects in many cases. However an effective solution to this problem is to buy cialis online. Ever since its launch, millions of suffering souls have regained and refreshed their sex lives. There are millions of loyal buyers who vouch for its clinical proven efficacy in treating erectile dysfunction.
Cialis like other erectile dysfunction drugs works enhancing the rate of blood flowing towards the penis. It does so by inhibiting the production of the PDE5 compound. Where cialis scores over erectile dysfunction drugs which is limited by the fact that the effect is limited to a certain period of time till which a single dosage works. While other drugs work for up to 5 hours, cialis may work up to a maximum of 36 hours. This boosts spontaneous sex as different from planned sex which other dugs do. Just pop cilais and get ready for a raunchy and exciting weekend with your girlfriend or wife in which spur of the moment sex is order of the day. The daily dose of cialis varies between 2.5 mg to 10 mg and the side effect profile is generally well tolerated.
Cialis is one of those blockbuster drugs available at almost all online drug stores. However to buy cialis online, you are advised to adopt a cautious approach and stay clear of un-reputed drugstores even if they offer mouth watering discounts and other offers. Go with reputed manufacturers and drugstores also ensure that manufacturing and expiry date are duly mentioned on the drugstore's website.

Mechs Go to War In New Dev Diary
MechWarrior Online Video Highlights Gameplay
As interesting as dev diary videos can be, they can sometimes feel a little dry without a good chunk of gameplay.
The latest MechWarrior Online developer video certainly avoids that problem, with plenty of mech on mech battles to entertain. Missiles and lasers arc out in swathes of destruction to create some alluring fireworks, which I know built my anticipation for this upcoming FTP shooter.
Piranha Games' MWO devs Paul Inouye, David Bradley and Omid Kiarostami talk controls and movement in between all of the explosions.
Are you looking forward to MWO?

Public administrators are big picture thinkers. They look for solutions to problems like gang violence, poverty, and crime. Working in the public and private sectors, they implement policies legislated by governments and bring together large groups of people with very different agendas and get them to move in the same direction. Are you up to the task?
As a public administration major, you will develop professional skills in policy analysis and management as you study the American political system at the local, state, and federal levels. You'll build a base of analytical tools rooted in an understanding of economics, statistics and organizational behavior, as well as develop your practical problem solving and policy planning abilities. You'll further have the option to apply what you've learned during an internship most public administration majors take during their final year in the program.

Energy storage offers users the flexibility in the generation and delivery of energy on the distribution grid. Although storage is not a new concept in the power industry, recent developments in technology—along with policy changes—have brought us closer to realizing its widespread use amongst various stakeholders.
DNV KEMA has created a software tool (ES-GRID) to quantitatively evaluate energy storage; both from an engineering aspect and a financial impact. This process provides a bottom-up approach to storage impact analysis that provides a financial estimate based on the physical performance of storage on the distribution system. This allows for the effective evaluation of storage devices by quantifying: …READ MORE

You are looking live at Purdue Coach Matt Painter, dispatched to the treadmill 90 minutes before Saturday's game. Perish the thought if his Boilermakers beat WVU today and Bob Huggins has to do something about it.
Never been here before, but I've heard things. Namely, when it's a good good Purdue team, or a good opponent, or a nationally televised affair, this is a really tough place to play. Da'Sean Butler has told us before that the crowd here for the the 2010 game, which was a Final Four team, mind you, was the best and most disruptive he could remember. I remembered him pointing out the odd configuration as soon as I got a look at the angular place today.
Look how close to the floor the stands are. There's not a lot of room behind the baskets before a wall rises and takes you to two sections of students that serve as shooting backdrops. The sidelines aren't as close and they have some VIP seating there in comfy chairs, but it just feels very tight and close in here, which is the opposite of Wednesday's surroundings.
And the students? Inventive types! Check the Paint Crew Gameday Sheet — page one and page two. As your boy Frank Giardina points out, the Paint Crew, an homage to Matt Painter, followed the Gene Pool, an homage to Gene Keady.
Then again, the whole place is kind of compact. I mean, they park you in the football stadium, which is like 90 feet from the Mackey Arena.
All aboard …
And here's your story: http://www.charlestondailymail.com/201301190048
Head down, writing, but this one is and has been over.
Didn't seen to phase him at all. I thought he'd play it up.
Murray fouls out. He'll have fun with the "Left, Right" thing.
There it is … 9:08. Second person gets his second basket.
Let's keep an eye on this: WVU has use 11 players. Eight have a basket. One has more than one.
He can't buy a basket, but he does effort.
Gerun plays hard, I'll give him that.
And he got his fourth foul, too.
Murray is something else. Really wanted a T again. And he got one.
Gerun and Murray! Let's watch…
I don't foretell a comeback this afternoon, folks. Purdue makes its first four shots of the half, misses the fifth but bangs a 3 on the offensive rebound to make it 52-27.
WVU played small a majority of the first half and outrebounded Purdue 21-20.
Dunno why I spent halftime writing. I know they're going to rally.
WVU gets lucky on its 13th turnover as Staten's pass to nobody give Purdue a look at a dunk, but it misses and it's just a 14-point game at the half.
The truth of the matter is nothing is working, but the four guards are minus 4 and the two bigs are minus 10. Huggins has now called a timeout down 37-23 to get the last shot here and he's put Voldy in the game.
And by 7-5, I mean 8-5 since the free throw made it a three-point play.
Actually, make that 7-5 run a 5-5 run. The free throws go to the foul that occurred when the bigs were together. But Purdue has since scored to make it 7-5.
Purdue started 3-for-11 and 5-for-17. Purdue is now 13-for-28 and getting good shots.
And that was less-than-stellar defense by Miles to lead to the and-one. He was parallel with the baseline when the guy started to drive on him.
Since the four guards returned, it's 7-5 with a free throw pending.
WVU is getting worked over inside and, quite clearly, needs something from its big bodied. Yet, just as clearly, those guys can't provide it.
Not getting anything from the bigs, but really not getting anything from anyone other than Staten. Purdue pushing here and leads 23-15.
Bad offense and the book is out on Kilicli in the paint. He gets another three-seconds call.
Kilicli scores on a putback at 11:08. WVU had been 0-for-8 from 2-point range. Then after a Purdue scores, Kilicli posts and no-looks a pass of Browne's face and Purdue gets a layup.
It's not working, is it?
Dodged a bullet there because Hammons slipped inside Kilicli for the rebound andPurdue missed an open 3 and then an open putback. Kilicli rebounds a miss and misses the front end of a one-and-one.
… with a free throw pending.
Since WVU went with two bigs at the 15:02 mark: 0-for-5, four turnovers, two fouls on Murray. Score was tied 6-6. With 11:46 to go, Purdue leads 11-7.
Ten turnovers so far and 10 straight possessions with a turnover and without a shot.
Murran never looked around the floor. Just got the ball and backed in and picked up his second foul. Now Deniz is checking in.
Again, Noreen is trusted and he's doing everything he has to do. You can see the difference in WVU's two bigs and understand why Huggins is frustrated.
Layup by A. Johnson? Right at Murray.
Murray not only isn't guarding the 7-footer, but he moved himself under the hoop and couldn't contend for the rebound. It went instead to Anthony Johnson who was fouled by Murray and made 1 of 2 free throws to tie the score 7-7. Harris back in now at 14:05.
Lots of Purdue fans behind me saying these two teams are carbon copies.
Brown_ ends the 1-for-8 start with a 3. Two 3s, one from Humphrey, one from Brown. Murray in at 6-6 for Browne. Let's track this.
Now Aaron Brown for Miles, who Huggins has no patience with these days.
3-0, sorry. It's 3-2 after Ronnie Johnson scores. WVU subs Humphrey out for Miles. Still no Kilicli, Nique or Murray.
The rebounding will be an issue, but the defense is what is has to be and Humphrey, who defended a post up, nails a 3 for a 3-2 lead.
Browne still looks iffy, but Noreen is doing everything right at present. Still scoreless.
And there goes Harris.
Henderson looks like he's in a lot of pain on the bench. Slow to sit and move and he's putting something on his back now. Not so sure about him today, now that I see this. Might me hard for him to warm it up.
Gary Browne looked a tad tender during warmups and winced on sharp movements. I thought Henderson looked fine. Neither will start. I think it's important to see what Harris does in the opening minutes, too. He wasn't great at the start Wednesday, when he started, and Huggins saw it and sat him and Larry Harrison commenced a quick conference. Harris went back in a few minutes later, which was later than he usually first appears, but more his style, and he was fine.
Is say this because he is obviously on a roll and he has a section of fans here today. A noticeable section. It won't be easy to stay in his skin … and it's important he does because we don't know what Browne or Henderson have and Humphrey is starting. Not a lot of sure-things on the bench if Harris runs through a wall early.
Officials for this non-conference game: John Higgins of the Big 12, Terry Oglesby of the Big Ten and Mike Sanzere of the Big Ten.
They've all seen WVU this season. Higgins has called two WVU games – a win at Texas with Oglesby and the loss to Michigan with Sanzere. I find that odd, but not significant.
Starters: Noreen, Staten, Hinds, Harris and Humphrey.

Conditions of Use
Recently, we had rocks from our moon in our classroom. There were six different samples in a round, plexi-glass casing. There was a white rock, Anorthosite, a black rock, Breccia, a dark rock with some lighter parts in it, Basalt, and 3 different soil samples: Mare Soil, Highland Soil, and Orange Soil. The dark spots that you see on the moon are called maria. People used to think they were seas when they looked at them from the ground, so they all have names such as the Sea of Tranquility. One of the Apollo missions gathered soil samples from one of these maria. It is darker than the others.It is aptly named Mare Soil. The Highlands soil is from the white part of the moon, also known as the Highlands. It is lighter than the Mare Soil.
It was very interesting having something from the moon in our classroom. Here is a picture.

About Food at Evergreen
Currently, dining services on campus are provided by a contracted food service provider, Aramark. The current food contract is administered by the Director of Residential and Dining Services. Through a food advisory committee (comprised of students, faculty, and staff) and several quarterly surveys, feedback is provided to the manager of dining services and the Director of Residential and Dining Services. This feedback is used to continue to improve food quality and food sourcing. The college set a goal to purchase 40% local and organic products by 2010 and Dining Services was able to achieve this goal and continues to work to improve sustainability efforts. Currently, some of the food is grown on campus at our own wonderful Organic Farm.
In addition to the contracted food service on campus there is also a student run cafe called the Flaming Eggplant.
