Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: The 19th Century)
Article abstract: Zola's major contributions were in three areas: literature, as a writer of poetry, drama, novels, and essays; literary theory, as one of the major forces in defining naturalism as a literary school; and human rights, as a defender of Alfred Dreyfus, who was falsely accused of treason and sentenced to Devil's Island.
Early Life
Born in Paris on April 2, 1840, Émile Zola spent his first eighteen years in Aix-en-Provence. Zola's father, Francesco Zola, was a high-spirited Venetian, bursting with grandiose ideas for engineering projects. With a doctorate in engineering from the University of Padua, Francesco helped plan the first public railway in Europe, served in the French foreign legion, and, in 1839, married Émilie-Aurélie Aubert. Twenty thousand francs in debt, he nevertheless installed Émilie in an expensive Paris apartment, where Émile, their only child, was born.
Francesco's fortunes improved when Aix accepted his plan to build a canal to bring water to the municipality. The family moved to Provence, where work on the canal proceeded. During construction, Francesco caught cold and succumbed to pneumonia, leaving his family not only destitute but also ninety thousand francs in debt. Émilie moved with her son to smaller quarters, bringing her parents to live with them. Émilie's parents looked after the grieving Émile while Émilie did housework for other people,...

Biography (Censorship (Ready Reference series))
Zola was a pioneer in the naturalist school of writing that emerged in the late nineteenth century. In twenty interrelated novels that he wrote between 1871 and 1893, he employed scientific precision and careful attention to descriptive detail to portray the fortunes of individual members of the fictional Rougon-Macquart family. His novels such as Germinal, Nana, La Terre, and L'Assommoir focused on characters from the lower strata of society, describing every aspect of their often sordid lives with vivid and colorful detail. His honest approach to fiction frequently embroiled him in battles with various forms of censorship.
Serialization of Zola's novel L'Assommoir in the newspaper La Bien Public was suspended in 1876 in response to public outrage at his uncompromising examination of the ravages of alcoholism among the Parisian lower classes. Publication of an English translation of La Terre, a work describing greed, brutality, and jealousy in rural France during the Second Empire, provoked an excited public response and resulted in Zola's unsuccessful prosecution on obscenity charges in Great Britain in 1888.
Two later series of novels, Les Trois villes (1894-1898) and Quatre evangiles (1899-1903), provoked the...

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
The son of an Italian engineer, Émile Zola grew up in Aix-en-Provence with a friend who was to become equally famous in the world of art, Paul Cézanne. Both came from modest families, and Zola learned early to resent the ordered and comfortable life of the bourgeoisie around him. The early death of his father prompted the family move to Paris, where his mother could find work, and where Zola attended the lycée. Failing to pass his baccalauréat, Zola gave up his studies and took a position in the civil service, then another with the distinguished Hachette publishing house, where he rose through the ranks to become head of public relations. During this time he made various attempts to write poetry and to penetrate the world of journalism, and he succeeded in establishing himself as an author with his collection of short stories Contes à Ninon. The following year, his novel La Confession de Claude (1865; Claude's Confession, 1882), attracted so much attention because of its sordid details that it aroused police interest. The unhappy management of Hachette ordered Zola to choose between publishing and writing, and the young author, already in the public eye, set out to earn his livelihood with his pen.
With his flair for publicity Zola was able to exploit both his public and his art with great success. Even his ideas of naturalism were tempered by what he realized the public wanted to hear. Inspired by...

Biography (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Émile-Edouard-Charles-Antoine Zola was born in Paris on April 2, 1840. His father, Francesco Antonio Zolla, the son of a Venetian family, came to Paris in 1830 seeking work as a civil engineer. After submitting a series of projects to the French government, he was received by King Louis Philippe, who accepted his proposal for the port of Marseilles. During his stay in Paris, François Zola (as he had then become) met Émilie-Aurélie Aubert, the daughter of a housepainter, Louis-Auguste Aubert. She was born in northern France, in Dourdan, near the great plain of the Beauce, and she was twenty-four years younger than François when they married in 1839.
Although Zola was born in Paris, his family moved south before he was one year old. After reaching an agreement with the city for an aqueduct, canal, and dam system to supply water to Aix, Zola's father seemed to have settled at last into a financially secure position. Unfortunately, he died of pleurisy in 1847, leaving his wife and seven-year-old son to manage as best they could in increasingly difficult circumstances.
Zola grew up, an only child doted on by his mother and her parents, living in working-class neighborhoods. He attended the Pension Notre-Dame and entered the Collège Bourbon at the age of twelve. It was here that he began his friendship with Paul Cézanne . Together with Jean-Baptistin Baille, they roamed the Provence countryside. Like Cézanne, Zola was never to lose his...

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Born in Paris on April 2, 1840, Émile-Édouard-Charles-Antoine Zola was the only child of a French mother, Émilie-Aurélie Aubert, and an Italian father, Francesco Zola. The Zolas moved to Aix-en-Provence, where Francesco was engaged to work on the municipality's water supply system. Upon his father's premature death in 1847, Émile and his mother began a series of moves to ever less expensive housing, first in Aix and later in Paris. Zola's childhood friends from the Pension Notre-Dame and the Collège Bourbon, Philippe Solari, Marius Roux, Baptistin Baille, and Paul Cézanne, proved to be lifelong friends, and the countryside of Provence, in all its variety, remained in Zola's memory and consciousness long after he moved to Paris in 1858, appearing in many of his novels.
The move to Paris was a major turning point in Zola's life, and the transplantation from rustic Provence to the teeming streets of the city proved difficult. Having failed his baccalauréat examination in August and again in November of 1859, Zola appears to have lost interest in further attempts to earn the diploma and in further education, possibly in part because he lacked the money to continue his studies. The period from 1858 to 1862 is not a well-documented one in Zola's life, though some of his early poetry, short stories, and an unfinished play date from this period. The chronic poverty the Zolas faced prompted Émile to try his hand at clerking on the...

Life's Work (Dictionary of World Biography: The 19th Century)
Stories for Ninon, although a promising beginning for a young author, shows little of the combination of careful observation, practiced objectivity, and scientific method that characterized Zola's most celebrated works. The stories are modeled on medieval fables, quite a different focus from that of the naturalistic themes for which Zola is best known. Zola's first novel, La Confession de Claude (1865; Claude's Confession, 1882), failed to employ the close, objective techniques of observation Zola demanded in his naturalistic credo, Le Roman expérimental (1880; The Experimental Novel, 1893), a theoretical work that significantly changed the course of writing in Europe, Great Britain, and the United States. His second and third novels, Thérèse Raquin (1867; English translation, 1881) and Madeleine Férat (1868; English translation, 1880), moved toward the realism practiced by Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, and the brothers Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt, whose writings attracted Zola, a voracious reader.
When Zola was writing these novels, however, he had not yet been exposed to Claude Bernard's Introduction à l'étude de la médecine expérimentale (1865; Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine, 1927), a book from a nonliterary field on which Zola was to model his formal approach to literature, which catapulted him to the forefront of...

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: The 19th Century)
Émile Zola was a man with exuberant plans, a man of enormous energy and courage. He lived a life guided by principles he arrived at consciously and intelligently. In addition to his prolific literary career, Zola's involvement in public affairs, always guided by his intellect and his immutable conscience, distinguished him throughout his life.
Zola's support of Impressionist artists in the 1860's forced him into an unpopular public stand well before his own future was assured. He supported what he believed without regard to personal consequences. He was equally stalwart in the 1870's and 1880's, as he was developing his own literary credo, which, in its final formulation as literary naturalism, became a publicly unpopular movement. Zola spent the last years of his life preoccupied with the Dreyfus affair, and on his death it was this stand that seemed best to exemplify to his countrymen his spirit of social reform, as Anatole France noted in his oration at Zola's funeral.
Zola's literary theories directly affected scores of authors, among whom some direct inheritors were Gerhart Hauptmann, Hermann Sudermann, Arthur Schnitzler, August Strindberg , Henrik Ibsen, Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, Eugene O'Neill, Frank Norris, Upton Sinclair, and Thomas Mann. Indirectly, his literary theories affected even those authors who rebelled against naturalism and went on to found such important countermovements as literary expressionism.

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Émile Zola (ZOH-luh) was born in Paris, France, on April 2, 1840, the son of a French mother, Émilie, and an Italian-born father, Francesco Zola, a civil engineer. When the senior Zola's canal project was approved by the government, heand his family moved in 1843 to Aix-en-Provence in southern France. Four years later, he died of pneumonia, leaving his widow and child in difficult circumstances. After grammar school, Zola entered secondary school in 1852, where, thanks to hard work, he became an excellent student, especially in French literature. It was then that he formed a lifelong friendship with Paul Cézanne, who was to become a great Impressionist painter. Taking long walks in the Provençal hills, the two companions talked of art and Romantic poetry, especially that of Victor Hugo and Alfred de Musset.
As the family situation worsened, Mme Zola and her son were forced to return to Paris in the hope of obtaining assistance from her late husband's friends. In 1858, Zola enrolled at the Lycée Saint-Louis. The following year, perhaps because of a long illness, constant worries over the family's livelihood, and homesickness, he failed the qualifying baccalauréat examinations. Now living on his own in abject poverty, he began to write poems and stories while looking for a job and rereading the French classics. Hired in 1862 as shipping...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Émile Zola is the father of naturalism, a literary style that holds up a mirror to the gritty elements of life, presenting them in great detail. Zola carries the realism of Gustave Flaubert—who challenged Romanticism in his realistic depictions of the detailed depictions of characters' lives—one step further by focusing on the sordid details of the sex lives, the political lives, and the working lives of men and women in late nineteenth century Paris. Zola's novels follow the fortunes of the wretched of the earth, those who have been trodden down by economic and social forces of urban life. The lives of Zola's characters are determined by forces beyond their control, such as heredity and environment, and his novels are tracts condemning the squalor in which these characters live. The Rougon-Macquart Novels represent Zola's greatest statement about the nature of humankind and society, as well as his most urgent call for reform of a society consumed with the desire for wealth at the expense of its poorest citizens.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Émile Zola (ZOH-luh) was probably the most important and controversial French novelist of the late nineteenth century. The son of an engineer of mixed Greek and Italian ancestry who died when his son was only seven, Zola was educated at Aix and returned to Paris in 1858 to start his career as a writer. He worked as a critic, then in 1867 also began to write novels. In 1871 he published The Rougon-Macquart Family, the first volume of twenty in a series called the "Rougon-Macquart Novels," which deals with the history of a family under the Second Empire. The first of these novels attracted little attention, but with the publication of L'Assommoir, a merciless study of the effects of alcohol, Zola was recognized as being among the foremost French writers of a brilliant literary period.
In the Rougon-Macquart series it was Zola's intention to study, with scientific precision and detachment, the fortunes of the various branches of a typical French family of his time. He wished to show, in the vast and complicated web of relationships he created, how the members of the family were affected by their combined heredity and environment. This approach was a reaction against the Romanticism of the generation of Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, père, and meant an advance beyond anything that realism had as yet accomplished in...

-- -- the mandatory budget cuts less than a month away and people are bracing for impact.
Cities like Charleston -- prepping for one point two trillion dollars in cuts over ten years.
That is about half of becoming from defense and Charleston is home to 250 defense contractors.
-- industry generates up to 10% of the city's economy.
So how -- all -- gonna hurt.
With me now -- Carolina's state treasurer Curtis -- -- welcome to the show treasure were happy to have you.
Well you very much going to be -- this is going to be really tough on Charleston in particular -- -- your state is going to be hit really hard.
But Charleston itself gets about 10% of its workforce from these contracts but.
That's right federal government is very important is states like South Carolina and the military -- we -- long military tradition.
Here in Columbia Fort Jackson is the largest training base in the world 50000 recruits turnout every year.
So it means a lot.
140000 jobs Justine billion dollars a year.
It's 7% of our State's budget.
It's huge and then on top of that we went around asking people sort of what committee due to make up this loss is an old -- is expanding their dreamliner plant.
That's our big cushion here that's gonna save a lot of jobs I don't know if you've heard that there are some problems with the dreamliner and Boeing right now so it -- it seems like.
This is just a cluster about black.
What -- but we're got to that point yet you know we we're still in this process what we've got to do is make sure that.
We demand -- different dynamic now what we've guide is people negotiating improper or.
Both the left in the right shouting at each other through television cameras we've got to get the adults in a room and they've got to any transparent and accountable way.
Make a budget.
You know we can't push the process alone.
All the ways otherwise so until this happens it just won't bore much groups like that's gonna happen and that feels pretty hopeless.
Well it is but sequestration is something no one like -- from the right wing of the pouring the conservative -- we I have a visceral attraction for cutting budgets but.
He don't want to take an -- to a pound cake and that's what we're doing here.
He can't do it does or premium by it will affect the sage credit ratings -- -- -- jobs.
It what it you know -- to go with another cliche is still in the baby out with the bath or would you -- -- -- say that he's prepared to go ahead with the sequestration.
Do you think he's -- look at these very serious.
What he may be -- but I think he's wrong.
It did this is -- -- problem and the dynamic we have now is being played -- my children.
American people know better we understand what's happening you look at the polls and and separate them from election polls.
We understand we can have a so much debt and will be at seventeen trillion dollars.
By next October.
But we can't sustain that -- We're talking about has been going on for a long time and you talk about it's just the children negotiating both sides are yelling at each other that's what we've been marching in Washington.
For very long time especially recently over these fights and it does seem like maybe Republicans have been pushed the point.
That they would be willing to go through with us especially because they went ahead.
With the tax increases with the promise of its cuts and spending coming down the route it doesn't seem like that's coming in fact the president sounds like -- be listeners sixty minutes interview.
He's doubling down -- raising taxes on everyone.
So it seems like we have gotten to a position where Republicans are willing to go ahead with this because they see no other way to cut spending.
Well it.
And that's the dynamic today we've got I think 24 days is that there's a right.
We've got some time and media there is time for adults act and we must you know there's that this is great -- on the left let's cut this have sequestration -- cut the defense.
But it's not worked that well because they had their own constituencies that will be affected you know they go through the entitlement programs.
We've got to have adults and -- rents were.
In a transparent fiercely -- I can't guarantee or there -- you weren't there what would you say because that you keep -- adults in the room I love that idea how would you make that happen would you offer something specific would you include specific people what's your advice.
Different with a certain plays it must happen the United States senate must have a budget because they come up for reelection and we've given them -- pass for four years.
They get real homeless Santa -- that never have to vote against anything.
Should demand the senate have a budget that simple -- in the constitution we ought to do it second thing is -- this is a cover.
For the illustration purposes.
They've got.
A pay raise about in the future.
Know what should get a pay -- know what's your parish to we've been net debt curve downward -- come from business is unacceptably you get fired when he had this kind of problem.
Sure we've got to start talking to these terms.
But we can't and we must demand that people go to a room in a transparent way there -- probably I will that first negotiation.
Because we -- and -- product and that makes honest and no residential aren't we gotta -- thank you so much thanks very much shall we appreciate your time.

Sleeper Smartphones, Super Devices from CTIA
That is, if you know where to look.
With the two major cellphone-industry events -- the International CTIA Wireless 2011 and Mobile World Congress -- out of the way, the smart, smartphone money is able to lens in on the less well-known phones and mobile tools that still stoke legit small-business, market-moving potential:
BLU Products
If one company stood out at the just-wrapping International CTIA Wireless 2011, it was the Miami-based spinoff of Latin American cellphone company BLU Products. BLU operates in 25 mostly Latin American countries. And from what I saw, for good reason. This is a mobile provider that knows the right price and features that calls to my cheapskate small-business heart.
Most BLU devices are unlocked, cheap and theoretically will work on many carriers. I liked BLU's Smart World phone, which had a solid three-inch screen; the BLU Tango, an attractive Android 2.2 touch device; and was particularly impressed with a cool knockoff of the BlackBerry(RIMM) Bold, called the BLU Cubo.
For sure, issues remain. Will carriers tango with BLU? What's the support like? Will the phones hold up? And so on. But small-businesses people can expect to see BLU's low-cost units popping up at cellular retailers later this year and shouldn't be surprised to see lots of smart folks using them.
It's official: BLU is cool.
Kyocera Echo ($199, via Sprint with contract)
Due out April 17, the Kyocera(KYO) Echo makes what appears to be the worst possible smartphone argument: If a phone with one touch screen is good, one with two is better. But believe it, Kyocera might be right.
The two touch-screen Echo is built around a patent-pending, spring-loaded hinge that can combine two 3.5-inch screens into one 4.7-inch diagonal screen. Or be reconfigured with the second screen angled up, like a tiny laptop computer. It sounds ridiculous, but early demos are impressive: You can type on one screen, with the largest touch keyboard on the small-phone market, and surf the Web on the other. Mapping tools such as Google(GOOG) Maps are impressive. And the Echo comes with its own backup battery, standard. Got to love that.
For sure, the Echo is cramped compared with a notebook computer, and if you need a keyboard, you are out of luck. But for now, if you are dying for some fresh real estate on the road, this Kyocera is killer!

A building substance that was used throughout the 20th century in thousands of products around the world, asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was the most highly sought out method of insulation in homes. Its flame resistant, inexpensive and highly durable qualities made it an ideal choice for manufacturers. Asbestos normally appeared as insulation for piping, roofing, siding and flooring in homes.
Many properties constructed prior to 1980 have a significant chance of containing asbestos, but even those built in the 1990's can as well. Vermiculite insulation that was used came from a mine in the U.S. that once heavily produced asbestos. Newly bought homes are often remodeled and repairs are always needed. This is often the case with older homes, which still run with old, corrosive methods that were once used to build structures. If you believe that your home contains asbestos, a home inspection could be extremely important for safety, health and investment reasons.
Asbestos Information
If asbestos materials are present, most contractors will advise home owners to leave it alone. A home inspector can determine the toxicity levels present. Sometimes the best action is no action at all. Asbestos that is left undisturbed and is not in a deteriorated state will not pose any health risks because its fibers have not been release into the air. Asbestos can appear in roof shingles, attic insulation, pipe coverings, joint compounds, electrical wires, furnace cement, fire brick and gaskets.
Asbestos contains fibers that are extremely thin and strong. When they are disturbed, they can become airborne where nearby individuals can inhale these toxic fibers and can lead to serious health problems. Mesothelioma is a form of asbestos lung cancer that is only cause by exposure to this material. An individual who suffers from this disease has limited treatment options and one's mesothelioma survival rate can be impacted by a number of factors, such as: age of diagnosis, latency period lasting 20 to 50 years and past record of cigarette smoking.
It is not always an easy process to determine whether or not a particular insulation contains asbestos. Anyone who is unsure about the insulation in their home should have the materials in question inspected and tested. Again, exposure is very preventable by taking the right precautions!
Benefits of Home Inspections and Healthy Tips
Receiving a professional home inspection is something that cannot be understated. Many building substances can become a problem for homeowners due to the negative health effects that can occur if not identified. Advances in technology have made inspections into a valuable process that quickly studies areas of concern in your property.
A home inspection is also extremely important to protect your investment. Professional consultants can provide an evaluation of the home and will identify material defects in structures and components of the home, in adherence to or exceeding national, state, and industry regulations and standards.
If an inspector deems the substance harmful, the removal of asbestos in public facilities, workplaces and homes must be performed by licensed abatement contractors who are trained in handling toxic substances. Depending on the condition of the asbestos, many experts feel it is better to seal it off than remove it. These licensed contractors who remove asbestos, will be familiar with the regulations in protecting you and themselves from exposure to asbestos.
Green alternatives to asbestos include the use of cotton fiber, lcynene foam and cellulose. Cotton fiber is made from recycled batted material and treated to be fireproof. A water based spray polyurethane foam, lcynene features no toxic components. These healthy options have the same beneficial qualities as asbestos, minus the health deteriorating and toxic components.

LONDON—Lockheed Martin executives say there are no "showstoppers" in the Pentagon's Director of Operational Test & Evaluation (DOT&E) report on the Joint Strike Fighter.
"All the issues raised in the report are known, and have been known for some time, and fixes and solutions are in place or in work," Steve O'Bryan, Lockheed Martin's vice president of F-35 business development, told Aviation Week in London.
O'Bryan's comments come just weeks after negative reports on the aircraft's performance and the grounding of the short-takeoff-vertical-landing (Stovl) F-35B variant in late January due to faulty fueldraulic lines.
"I look at the DOT&E report and I look at the progress, and we are 5% ahead of the plan," O'Bryan says.
Some test points have been delayed, however, while fixes are devised. Among them is a new tailhook design for the F-35C after the original design was unable to grab the arresting wire. The company is also behind in delivering software to allow for use of weapons on the F-35.
"What I see is a very flexible flight test program that is able to pull ahead test points that were to be further out and can be pulled into the plan," O'Bryan says.
O'Bryan spoke in London as part of a European tour of JSF partner nations, along with Tom Burbage, retiring VP and general manager of the F-35 program. The pair highlighted the company's plans for 2013 as it pushes to get the aircraft into service. The plan includes 1,153 test flights during 2013 and completing 9,300 test points by year's end.
Lockheed also plans to deliver 36 low-rate, initial-production aircraft in fiscal 2013 — an increase of 20% over last year. Other milestones include the beginning of U.S. Air Force pilot training at Eglin AFB, Fla., as well as the delivery of LRIP 4 aircraft to Nellis AFB, Nev., and Edwards AFB, Calif., for operational testing by the Air Force.
Through-life durability testing on both the STOVL (F-35B) and the CV (F-35C) models will also be completed later this year. F-35Bs are also expected to be re-embarked on the USS Wasp amphibious assault vessel for a second round of deck operation trials following initial trials held in October 2011. The company will also mark the opening of the Italian Final Assembly and Check-Out (FACO) facility at Cameri AB near Milan in conjunction with the Italian government this summer.

One week later, debate over the use of the word "vagina" on the state House floor continues
By Jennifer White, Zoe Clark and Mercedes Mejia
Every Thursday Michigan Radio's Jennifer White talks Michigan politics with Susan Demas, political analyst for Michigan Information and Research Service, and Ken Sikkema, former state Senate Majority Leader and Senior Policy Fellow at Public Sector Consultants.
It's been a week, now, since Democratic State Representative Lisa Brown was barred from speaking on the state House floor for using the word "vagina" during a debate on anti-abortion legislation. State Representative Barbara Byrum, a Democrat, was also banned from speaking on the floor because she spoke out of turn.
White, Demas and Sikkema explore why this story just won't seem to go away.

Improving, Sep 28, 2008 |
reviewer: Murrieta Stroker
from Murrieta |
As you can see from the other reviews, the course was in dire need of improvement. Fortunately, new owners have taken over and they are making slow but steady improvements. It is turning into a very nice course. I play it all the time since its close and a great value. I would not go out of my way to play this course. However, if you are in Murrieta area, play this course. You will come back often! |

No title, Jul 07, 2005 |
reviewer: J. G. Short
from Palm Springs, CA |
The landscaping at this golf course needs lots of work. Creek beds are severely eroded and there's standing water which could lead to mosquito infestations. The sand pits are also sadly in need of repair. There are still many dead eucalyptus trees on some of the fairways. This golfer wonders if they'll fall over some windy day on a golf cart passing right under them. The most serious problem is the lack of aesthetics upon entering through the front guarded gates of the Colony. The wrought iron fencing facing the front of the course is abominable, falling apart, with some sections of it ready to collapse onto the adjacent sidewalk where school children walk to and from middle school. I don't know why this fencing hasn't been replaced before now because it can cause serious injury if it is blown over or collapses from rust erosion. |

reviewer: Tony
from Murrieta, CA |
This course might not be long, however it's tight fairways and short par 4's make for a serious workout for your short game. There is enough water and trees to keep you busy but still quite a number of holes where you can bring out the big gun. My favorite short golf course by far! |

The Colony is a cheap ($23 on weekend after 12pm w/cart) and well kept course. Always easy to get a good tee time. There are quite a few par 4s for an executive course. A good play for medium to high handicapers. They will also help you organize events. Catch this course if you are in the area. |

DeLorean-like hovercraft tools around near Golden Gate Bridge

Plants behave in some oddly intelligent ways: fighting predators, maximizing food opportunities ... But can we think of them as actually having a form of intelligence of their own? Italian botanist Stefano Mancuso presents intriguing evidence.
Stefano Mancuso is a founder of the study of plant neurobiology, which explores signaling and communication at all levels of biological organization, from genetics to molecules, cells and ecological communities. Full bio »

Hailed as the "Gateway to the Erie Canal," Tonawanda, NY is located in beautiful western New York just eight miles north of Buffalo. With scenic views of the Niagara River and Erie Canal, the town features waterfront parks, walking paths and many community events. With approximately 74,000 residents, Tonawanda promotes a close-knit atmosphere and traditional suburban amenities. Search for Tonawanda apartments for rent, and find natural comfort in the eastern Great Lakes region.
The first settlers of European descent arrived in the area in Tonawanda in 1805. When the Erie Canal officially opened in 1825, the village grew as new residents gained access into the area. Today, Tonawanda has shed its industrial roots and has a new identity as a tourist destination. As the town is close to the Canadian border, many people travel through the area on business and leisure trips. Local residents take pride in the successes of the community and foster a sense of achievement in their children. Tonawanda thrives under the slogan "A Great Place to Live, Work and Play, which speaks to the number of opportunities available in western New York. Residents here enjoy beautiful natural surroundings without paying high living expenses. At 102.5, Tonawanda's cost of living index is very consistent with the United States average of 100.
One of Tonawanda's most exciting attractions is its natural scenery. The fun-filled tour of the Erie Canal and Upper Niagara River allow visitors to experience adventure, nature and history in the beautiful islands, parks and yacht clubs along the shoreline. Adventure Landing provides fun for the whole family with miniature golf courses, a mega arcade and teddy bear factory. Tonawanda also hosts a number of festivals throughout the year, including Canal Fest of the Tonawandas, Weekends on Webster and Tonawanda Summer Concert Series.

THE SPORTING SCENE about Paul Finebaum, host of a popular sports talk radio show, based in Birmingham, Alabama, which is focussed on college football. College football is now America's second most popular sport, behind pro football, but in much of the South, and especially in Alabama, the N.F.L. can barely compete: in every one of the past ten years, Birmingham has been ESPN's top market for college football, and more people there watched Alabama play Louisiana State in last season's national championship than watched the Super Bowl. The Paul Finebaum Radio Network, which emanates from Birmingham's WJOX, attracts nearly a quarter of the adult male listeners in Birmingham—by comparison, Mike Francesca, in New York, gets five percent—with a broad demographic range. Finebaum is, by his own admission, an unlikely candidate for the voice of the South: he is fifty-seven, Jewish, and bald, prefers MSNBC to ESPN, and expresses surprise that he has not ended up in a more academic profession (during one show, he made a reference to Sartre's "No Exit" to explain his trouble ending an irritating interview). Boisterous radio callers are hardly a new phenomenon, but Finebaum's have developed a particular reputation for volume, crudeness, and blind loyalty to their teams of choice. ("I'm an Auburn fan first and foremost, but I'm also a logical man," one declared recently.) Some call multiple times a day. Some write out scripts. They have names like Moondog and Legend and Charles Allen Head, who calls nearly every week to deliver an original, football-themed poem. Finebaum thinks of his show as a soap opera, on which he is the lead writer, conversing intelligently with his more lucid callers while also pushing the plot to the edges of sensibility. Writer discusses Finebaum's background and career, offers an overview of the rivalry between the football teams of Auburn University and the University of Alabama that animates Finebaum's show, and introduces some of Finebaum's most well-known callers, several of whom have become local celebrities themselves, because of their calls to the show. Mentions callers' opinions about the Penn State sex abuse scandal, as well as politicians, including John McCain and Mitt Romney, who have appeared on the show, with the aim of capturing the "football vote." Describes one Alabama fan, Harvey Updyke, who has been charged with poisoning, using herbicide, "Toomer's Corner," two thirty-foot-tall oak trees on the Auburn campus where fans have traditionally celebrated major victories (four felonies, two for each tree, and two misdemeanors, for desecrating venerated objects).

Georgetown College volleyball fought to the bitter end in the first round of the single-elimination portion of the 2013 NAIA Volleyball National Championship, presented by J&L Enterprises and CNOS Foundation.
The No. 12 Tigers (35-11) battled Grand View (34-13) for the third time this season. It was a four-set, season-opening win over the Vikings that started this impressive season filled with records and highlights. Unfortunately, GV got the best of GC in Iowa. Georgetown fell 21-25, 13-25, 25-19, 23-25.
"We showed a lot of heart and battle, that's all I can ask for," said GC coach Nick Griffin. "It has been another exciting season where we saw our three outstanding juniors record 1,000 kills each, our team eclipsed 1,100 wins and we won our 15th Mid-South Conference Tournament title.
"We have a lot to build on from this season and are looking forward to what the future holds for us."
The American Volleyball Coaches Association announced its All-Region selections recently and once again Georgetown College picked up multiple accolades. Dating back to 1989, the Tigers' volleyball program has had at least one all-region honorary.
"It is great when other coaches recognize the talent and the work we do at Georgetown," said GC coach Nick Griffin. "When you start to get these accolades it speaks for the whole team and what you are doing here. I'm extremely thrilled for all these young ladies."
There are rare moments in postseason when a team can lose and still be playing. Georgetown College volleyball picked one of those times to have an off night. It happened Thursday in the final match of pool play in the 2013 NAIA Volleyball National Championship, presented by J&L Enterprises and CNOS Foundation.
The No. 12 Tigers (35-10) faced off with No. 2 Concordia (Calif.) with both teams knowing they already secured spots in Friday's single-elimination tournament.
The Eagles (26-2) came out strong and finished the match in straight sets, 25-10, 25-18, 25-12. It is only the third time this season, the Tigers have fallen in straight sets.
Georgetown College women's lacrosse will be holding a preseason camp Saturday, Feb. 1 at Toyota Stadium. Athletes ninth through 12th graders are invited to attend. All experience is welcome and players will be divided up into groups from beginners to advanced.
In addition to four hours of instruction with Brandon Davis, head coach for the Tigers' new program, players will have a sports nutrition session with the GC athletic training staff and a question and answer session on recruiting.
Georgetown College volleyball has won 21 matches in straight sets, but the past five wins have been four sets or more. Heading into the Mid-South Conference semifinals, the No. 12 Tigers had not rallied from a 2-1 sets deficit. Now they have done it three times, the most critical to date happened Wednesday in the 2013 NAIA Volleyball National Championship, presented by J&L Enterprises and CNOS Foundation Pool Play B.
In order to secure continued play after the round robin portion, Georgetown (35-9) needed a win over Trinity Christian College. The Trolls (37-9) opened up winning sets one and three, but the Tigers fought back for the 20-25, 25-21, 23-25, 25-19, 15-10 win. They even needed a rally in set five to clinch it.
"This is tournament play," said GC coach Nick Griffin. "Seeing matches go the distance isn't a surprise, I'm just glad we've gotten a few rally wins down the stretch. We have the confidence that we are never out of a match."
