The themes of Adam Curtis' new documentary Bitter Lake should be well known to those familiar with his body of work: power, techno-politics, science, managerialism and the media. The film uses the contemporary history of Afghanistan to tell a story about how polities in the West have become incapable of understanding the complex and horrible happenings around them. Traditional forms of power in the West and Afghanistan have taken advantage of the fear and confusion to consolidate their control, but at the expense of an intellectually deskilled Western public and a world that is fundamentally less governable. Bitter Lake is more fable than scholarship, but the film is nonetheless a devastating examination of how Western interventions in Afghanistan refract the vacuousness of our own politics.
You have reached the village of Kafr Bir'im. Enjoy the clean air of the Upper Galilee. Listen to the mountain silence. Observe the elegance of the stone construction in front of you; it is left standing after the 1948 occupation of the village and its consequent destruction. And realize as well that not everything you see is in the past tense.
In January 2007, amid the furor over Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, former President Jimmy Carter made his first major public appearance about the book at Brandeis University, which defines itself as "the only non-sectarian Jewish-sponsored college or university" in the United States. He received a standing ovation, going on to say that he had chosen the word "apartheid" for his book's title "knowing that it would be provocative" and to deliver a speech describing the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands as "cruel oppression." Carter then departed, and Alan Dershowitz, author of The Case for Israel, rose to offer a response. Half the audience walked out. A year later, the Brandeis student senate voted not to congratulate Israel on its sixtieth anniversary.
Here we go again. A preposterous provocation easily manages to ignite fevered protests in Muslim-majority countries around the world, and everyone is worse off as a result. The episode is playing like a sequel to the 2005 Danish cartoon controversy, but with bigger and better explosions than the original.
When Menachem Begin first visited the United States in December 1948, a host of Jewish notables including Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, Irma Lindheim (former president of Hadassah), Seymour Melman (former president of the Student Zionist Federation) and the biblical scholar Harry Orlinsky wrote to the New York Times to issue a warning about the Herut (Freedom) Party that Begin led. Herut, they wrote, was "closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine."
American policymakers and their advisers are struggling with the question of Pakistan. The last ten years have produced a host of policy reviews, study group reports, congressional hearings and a few academic and more popular books, with more expected as the 2014 deadline for the end of US major combat operations in Afghanistan nears. Much of this literature sees Pakistan as a policy problem and seeks to inform Washington's debate on how to get Pakistan to do what the United States wants it to do. The literature also reveals the limits of American knowledge and power when it comes to Pakistan.
During August of 2011, which corresponded with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, viewers of the state-run satellite channel Syrian TV might have stumbled upon quite a strange scene: A man watches as a crowd chants "Hurriyya, hurriyya!" This slogan -- "Freedom, freedom!" -- is a familiar rallying cry of the various Arab uprisings. It was heard in Syrian cities, including Damascus, when protesters first hit the streets there on March 15, 2011. But it was odd, to say the least, to hear the phrase in a Syrian government-sponsored broadcast. Until that moment, state TV had not screened any such evidence of peaceful demonstrations in Syria.
On January 7, under a clear chill sky, the monthly culture festival al-Fann Midan (Art Is a Square) took place in Cairo's 'Abdin plaza. In the sunny esplanade facing the shuttered former royal palace, spectators cheered a succession of musical acts, took in a display of cartoons and caricatures, and wandered from tables selling homemade jewelry to others handing out the literature of the Revolutionary Socialists or the centrist Islamist party al-Wasat. The drama troupe Masrah al-Maqhurin (Theater of the Oppressed) put on a series of skits requiring audience participation. In the first, a daughter left the family house against her father's will, and with her mother's connivance, to attend a birthday party. She was caught and reported by her brother, and then beaten by her father. In the participatory iterations that followed, a young woman from the audience chose to play the brother and, to much laughter, told the sister: "I won't tell Dad I saw you in the street if you don't tell him I was at the café." Another audience member played the mother, working arduously but in vain to convince the father to allow the girl out of the house under her brother's supervision. Interestingly, no one in the audience chose to incarnate -- and change the behavior of -- the authoritarian and violent father.
In August 2006, a 27-year old pharmacist started blogging anonymously about her futile hunt for a husband in Mahalla al-Kubra, an industrial city 60 miles north of Cairo in the Nile Delta. Steeped in satirical humor, the blog of this "wannabe bride" turned into a powerful critique of everything that is wrong with how middle-class Egyptians meet and marry. The author poked fun at every aspect of arranged marriage -- from the split-second decisions couples are expected to make after hour-long meetings about their lifetime compatibility to the meddling relatives and nosy neighbors who introduce them to each other. She joked about her desperation to marry in a society that stigmatizes single women over the age of 30. She ridiculed bachelors for their unrealistic expectations and inflated self-images while sympathizing with the exorbitant financial demands placed on would-be husbands. Thirty suitors and four years later, the pharmacist remains proudly single at 32, refusing to settle for just any man.
In late May 2010, the convoy known as the Freedom Flotilla met off of Cyprus and headed south, carrying humanitarian aid and hundreds of international activists who aimed to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. The organizers used social media extensively: tweeting updates from the boats; webcasting live with cameras uplinked to the Internet and a satellite, enabling simultaneous rebroadcasting; employing Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and other social networking websites to allow interested parties to see and hear them in real time; and using Google Maps to chart their location at sea. Until shortly after its forcible seizure by Israeli commandos in the wee hours of May 31, the flotilla stayed in touch with the outside world despite the Israeli navy's efforts to jam its communications. A quarter of a million people watched its video feed on Livestream alone, while many more consumed these images in abbreviated form on television news.

The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, the oldest such festival in the United States, was founded in rebellion against received wisdom. Since 1980, the festival has promoted independent Jewish films that contest the conventional Hollywood depiction of Jewish life, particularly its lachrymose over-concentration on Jewish victimhood, and regularly presented "alternatives to the often uncritical view of life and politics in Israel available in the established American Jewish community." The festival's audience, mostly Jewish, has reacted positively to this policy, even in 2005, when the organizers decided to show Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad's Paradise Now, the theme of which is suicide bombing.
Waltz with Bashir (2008) opens with a strange and powerful image: a pack of ferocious dogs running headlong through the streets of Tel Aviv, overturning tables and terrifying pedestrians, converging beneath a building's window to growl at a man standing there. It turns out that this man, Boaz, is an old friend of Ari Folman, the film's director and protagonist. Like Folman, he was a teenager in the Israeli army during its 1982 invasion of Lebanon. And the pack of menacing dogs is his recurring nightmare, a nightly vision he links to the many village guard dogs he shot -- so they wouldn't raise the alarm -- as his platoon made its way through southern Lebanon.

This fall four new studies of professors' political attitudes showed a large tilt to the left:
• Daniel Klein, an economics professor and researcher at Santa Clara University and Stockholm University, surveyed more than 1,000 professors around the United States and found Democrats outnumbering Republicans at least 7-1 in the humanities and social sciences, with departments such as anthropology and sociology coming in at about 30-1.
• In a separate study of voter registration records, Mr. Klein found professors at Stanford and the University of California-Berkeley tilted Democratic 9-1. Among younger professors at those two universities the imbalance was even greater: 183 Democrats, six Republicans.
• The American Council of Trustees and Alumni polled 658 students at 50 top colleges concerning their perception of faculty. Almost half agreed with these statements: "Professors use the classroom to present their personal political views . . . presentations on political issues seem totally one-sided . . . [professors] frequently comment on politics in class even though it has nothing to do with the course." ACTA president Anne Neal said, "If this were a survey of students reporting widespread sexual harassment, there would be an uproar."
• The Center for Responsive Politics ranked organizations by per capita employee contributions to presidential candidates. The University of California system and Harvard finished first and second, with both backing John Kerry over George Bush 19-1. (The next three institutions: Time Warner, Goldman Sachs and Microsoft.)
The evidence provided by these new studies paralleled data from some older ones:
• The Center for the Study of Popular Culture measured voting by Ivy League professors in 2000 and found a 9-1 ratio for Al Gore over Mr. Bush. The Center also asked professors to describe themselves politically: The ratio there was 11-1 liberal over conservative.
• The American Enterprise Institute in 2002 published results of research into voter registration by humanities and social science instructors at 19 universities. To pick a few in alphabetical order: Colorado was 116-7 left (Democrat or Green) over right (Republican or Libertarian); Cornell was 166-6; San Diego State was 80-11; Stanford was 151-17; the State University of New York-Binghamton was 35-1; UCLA was 141-9.
The critical question is how alumni will react to such information. One wealthy Vanderbilt alum sent me this note: "I have recently begun the following when approached for financial support from the several colleges represented within my family and to which I have given generous support in the past. I listen patiently to the dialogue and in a very chummy manner I ask if they are promoting diversity which I believe is a good thing. The response is always a gushing affirmative answer. I reply that I am happy about this but I have realized that the professors are 90+ percent liberal which certainly is anything but diverse; but I would like to pledge $100,000 dollars as soon as this imbalance is corrected and there is true diversity of thought and speech without reprisal. I ask that they call me back when this is accomplished and I will gladly make good on my promise. If every conservative would adopt this policy there would be swift changes."
Two recent college graduates published this year book-length discussions of campus problems: Ben Shapiro's Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth and Brendan Steinhauser's The Conservative Revolution: How to Win the Battle for College Campuses contain useful specific detail. Here are four brief looks at campus problems and responses to them: Jamie Dean reports on discrimination against Christian students, Gene Edward Veith reviews Tom Wolfe's new fictional portrayal of campus life, and Priya Abraham and Max Goss report on conservative student journalists and activists who are fighting back.
Intolerant tolerance
When University of North Carolina student Timothy Mertes during a "Literature and Diversity" class discussion identified himself as a Christian and said he felt "disgusted, not threatened" by homosexual behavior, Professor Elyse Crystall was appalled. She sent an e-mail to the class, calling Mr. Mertes's comments "hate speech," and saying, "That a white, heterosexual, Christian male . . . can feel entitled to make violent, heterosexist comments and not feel marked or threatened or vulnerable is what privilege makes possible."
The comments garnered attention from the U.S. Department of Education, which ruled last month that Ms. Crystall's e-mail amounted to "intentional discrimination and harassment." The agency has promised to protect college students from religious discrimination, but according to David French, president of Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), the agency will have its work cut out for it.
"We are consistently seeing that conservative, Christian organizations are not exactly the darlings of university administrations," Mr. French says. "A host of injustices are being visited against these groups."
FIRE has been involved in more than 600 individual liberty cases on at least 200 college campuses since 1999. Many of those cases included discrimination against Christians.
One case involved Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) and Rutgers University. In September 2002, Rutgers officials banned IVCF from meeting on campus because of the group's policy that leaders must "adhere to biblical standards and belief in all areas of their lives." The school said the policy amounted to discrimination. FIRE sent a letter to the administration, asking it to reverse the decision. When Rutgers refused, FIRE referred the case to the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF). ADF filed a lawsuit against Rutgers on behalf of IVCF, saying the school violated the group's rights to freedom of expression, religion, and association. Four months later, in the face of bad publicity, Rutgers relented, and ADF dropped the suit.
A similar showdown occurred earlier this year at Purdue University, where officials threatened to shut down a Christian women's housing group that refused to sign a nondiscrimination policy requiring the group to ignore faith when selecting members. FIRE intervened, sending a letter to university president Martin Jischke, reminding him of the group's First Amendment rights. Mr. Jischke quickly responded, granting the housing cooperative an exemption from the nondiscrimination policy.
Ohio State University, under pressure from ADF, recently made a similar move, agreeing to allow religious student groups to define membership standards apart from a nondiscrimination policy.
But not all universities are so accommodating. ADF recently filed a lawsuit against the University of North Carolina on behalf of Alpha Iota Omega, the only Christian fraternity on campus. UNC revoked AIO's student-organization status last year after the fraternity refused to sign a nondiscrimination clause that would have required the group to admit non-Christians with no interest in the fraternity's primary purpose of evangelism.
"The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that private organizations have the right to determine their own membership," says ADF senior counsel Jordan Lorence. "Requiring the fraternity to sign the policy to obtain benefits holds the fraternity hostage by using their own beliefs against them."
The outcome of religious liberty cases could have an impact beyond the borders of university walls. ADF attorney Joshua Carden says a victory for groups like AIO could extend to churches with tax-exempt status. "If the government were to operate according to UNC's reasoning, police in any state with a nondiscrimination policy could go into churches and demand membership be open to anyone, including non-Christians," Mr. Carden says. "That's UNC's logic writ large." —Jamie Dean
Today's Jungle
If parents of America's college students would all read Tom Wolfe's new novel and come to believe what it says, they would get in their cars, drive to campus, and drag their offspring kicking and screaming from their co-ed dorms, frat houses, and rule-free residence halls. If what Mr. Wolfe says about life at the university is correct and if it becomes known, taxpayers would cut off their subsidies, donors would stop giving, parents would refuse to pay tuition, and all that would be left of once-noble institutions of higher education would be their sports teams.
I am Charlotte Simmons is a work of fiction, and no doubt exaggerates the bad and leaves out much that is good. But Mr. Wolfe's cultural observations cannot be dismissed. He is a social realist, who researches his novels by months of careful observation of his subjects, like an anthropologist studying a primitive culture. For this, his third novel, Mr. Wolfe examines the culture of a major university, doing his field research at Stanford and the Universities of North Carolina, Michigan, Alabama, and Florida.
The novel tells the story of Charlotte Simmons, a bright, idealistic, virtuous young woman from a tiny, mountain community in North Carolina, who makes a perfect score on her SATs and gets a full-ride scholarship to the fictional DuPont University, an elite institution ranked second only to Harvard. Charlotte comes from a blue-collar church-going family whom she dearly loves, but she is thrilled at her opportunity to transcend her humble origins and pursue the life of the mind at one of the best universities in the world.
Then we follow Charlotte's initiation into campus life. She is put in a co-ed dorm, in which men and women share the same communal bathrooms. She is regularly "sexiled," which means kicked out of her dorm room while her roommate is having sex. She is engulfed by the vilest language. Campus dances consist of young men and women grinding their private parts together. Students are constantly drunk.
The rich high-society kids, who predominate in this elite school, look down on poor, country-girl Charlotte, and even the students who are out of the social hierarchies still feel pressured to be "cool."
Charlotte is appalled by all of this. She holds onto her integrity—repeating to herself as her mother told her, "I am Charlotte Simmons!"—but she has the misfortune to be pretty, which makes her a target for the predatory frat boys, athletes, and intellectualoids who want to have sex with her.
This is a depressing novel—not just for the vile language Mr. Wolfe unpleasantly transcribes for us or for the purposefully repellent sex scenes—but for the agony of seeing Charlotte, one of Wolfe's most attractive characters, pulled down into the cesspool, both in her degradation and her success.
Readers learn lots about contemporary campus culture. Students don't "date" anymore. Instead, they "hook up" for totally impersonal sex. Sex, having already been separated from reproduction, is now separated from a relationship. Girls dress up like prostitutes to attract guys, who never dress up at all and who call women "dumpsters" for their semen.
What about the life of the mind? Charlotte finds a small circle of outcast intellectuals who care about ideas, but they are weak and spineless (except for the feminists) and utterly full of themselves. One of them is a "tutor" for the athletes, which entails writing their papers for them in their special "jock" classes. The professors are obsessed with left-wing politics, but the students don't seem to care much. They will dutifully turn out for Gay Rights rallies, but they are mostly concerned with "rut-rut-rutting."
Most universities have Christian groups, though they did not show up on Mr. Wolfe's social radar screen. There is no trace of any at DuPont. Charlotte desperately needs a good peer group to be part of. She also needs discipleship, a source of forgiveness, and a worldview that gives a framework for the life of the mind, something universities have evidently lost.
Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle sparked a revulsion at the unsanitary conditions of packing houses and inspired a wholesale reform of the nation's food industry. Perhaps Mr. Wolfe's novel could do the same for the higher education industry. —Gene Edward Veith
Journalistic Dissenters
If the more than 100 student editors gathered at the Capitol Hilton in Washington were the foot soldiers, then the big-name journalists addressing them were the grizzled veterans. Even as they celebrated 25 years of independent conservative newspapers on college campuses, the language they used was that of an unfinished battle.
"You're not being a conservative publication unless you're being persecuted," joked Rich Lowry, editor of National Review. He was editor of the Virginia Advocate, the right-wing paper of the University of Virginia.
Mr. Lowry was one of several alumni of the Collegiate Network, a band of 86 conservative college papers that began with one University of Chicago publication in 1979. While the Dec. 2 anniversary celebration was light-hearted, it underscored how far conservatives have come in creating their own voices in journalism—and in producing their own success stories.
The two upstart students at the University of Chicago who created Counterpoint have graduated to become prominent journalists in their own right. John Podhoretz helped to found The Weekly Standard and is a New York Post columnist. Tod Lindberg is the editor of the Hoover Institution journal, Policy Review. They were the first to receive a grant to support their paper. After seeing several supporters, the network is now administered under the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which promotes conservative thought at universities. The Collegiate Network has also churned out other well-known commentators such as Ann Coulter and Dinesh D'Souza.
From a sampling of conservative campus papers, today's writers are just as unapologetic as their predecessors. Reporters at the University of Maryland's Terrapin Times discovered that their faculty's contributions to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry far outstripped those to George Bush. Bucknell University's The Counterweight drew attention to the leftist slant of the campus' women's resource center, which informed female students of a national pro-abortion rally but not pro-life ones. The Carolina Review of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tackled the institution's grade inflation and declining educational standards (in a "special" issue).
But even with a growing presence, conservative students are still not melding well on many liberal campuses. Case in point was The Yale Free Press, which was stolen from 11 residential colleges over Thanksgiving break. Several student editors at the Washington Collegiate Network event had similar stories. "This impulse for censorship is common on campus," said Sam Cecil, a Yale economics major who edits another conservative paper, Light and Truth.
Still, the students are helping to "fulfill the true meaning of a liberal education on campus," says CN public affairs director Sarah Longwell. "That impact is immeasurable." —Priya Abraham
Coming out conservative
Over the years college "activism" has generally been on the political left. Now, student activists of the right are setting up protests, counterprotests, and publicity stunts, and receiving sharp responses from liberals. Some examples:
• College Republicans from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro hosted "Morals Week," a weeklong series of events promoting abstinence and personal responsibility.
• Students at Harvard, Wellesley, Penn State, the University of California at Davis, the University of Texas, and other schools around the country sponsored "Conservative Coming Out" days to proclaim publicly their allegiance to traditional values and individual freedom.
• Conservative student groups hosted "affirmative action bake sales" at Northwestern University, the University of Rochester, the University of California at Berkeley,
UCLA, and other schools around the country. SMU administrators shut down the bake sale on their campus, where members of the Young Conservatives of Texas mocked racial favoritism by selling cookies to white males for $1, white females for 75 cents, and African-Americans for a quarter. Ed Jones, an African-American state senator, joined the sale at the University of Colorado to show his opposition to racial preferences.
• Students are working to bring more conservative speakers to campus, and sometimes running into opposition. Bucknell University temporarily blocked the Conservatives Club from bringing in Republican Pat Toomey because of a rule prohibiting current political candidates, even though the school had invited presidential candidate Ralph Nader to speak at its commencement. —Max Goss, a doctoral student at the University of TexasDownload file "Conformity on campus"

In Greenville, Griffin Davis' pinch-hit RBI double in the eighth inning scored Alex Abrams from first base to break a 5-all tie that lifted Furman to shocking 6-5 upset over No. 11 South Carolina on Wednesday evening at Fluor Field.
The win gave Furman (17-11) a season split with South Carolina (23-7) and marked the Paladins' second victory over the Gamecocks in the last three clashes at Fluor Field.
Taylor Johnson (Greer) drove in three runs on three hits, including a two-run single in the third and a solo home run in the seventh that tied the game at 5.
Chris Ohmstede also homered for the Paladins, part of a 3-for-4 performance that raised his batting average to .415 (27 of 65) over the past 16 games.
Ben Carlson (3-1), who came on in relief in the seventh, earned the victory after pitching 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – For the first time since 2004, men's lacrosse will return to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), as the conference will begin sponsoring the sport for the 2014 season. Conference members, Babson College, Clark University, Emerson College, MIT, Springfield College and Wheaton College will be joined by the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, who enters the NEWMAC as an associate member in 2014. Men's lacrosse becomes the 19th conference championship and the league's eighth men's offering.
Babson, Clark, MIT, Massachusetts Maritime, Springfield and Wheaton have been participating in the Pilgrim League men's lacrosse conference since the 2005 season. As part of its transition to full membership this summer, Emerson will become the seventh NEWMAC men's lacrosse team, giving the league automatic qualifier status for the 2014 NCAA Division III championship. Beginning in 2015, Coast Guard Academy will also field a men's lacrosse squad and become the conference's eighth member.
The league had originally sponsored men's lacrosse from 1999 through 2004, although the five NEWMAC schools also participated in the Pilgrim League during that time, in order to be eligible for NCAA championship selection. Following the 2004 season, the NEWMAC discontinued its sponsorship of the sport and league members continued their participation in the Pilgrim League, under the leadership of Commissioner Craig Poisson, Senior Associate Athletic Director at Springfield.
NEWMAC Executive Director, Patrick Summers, commented on the occasion, saying, "The NEWMAC is proud and excited to bring back the sport of men's lacrosse. I would like to recognize Commissioner Poisson and Assistant Commissioner Brian Magoffin of the Pilgrim League for their leadership and service over the past 13 years."
"The conference is going through and will go through some significant and positive changes in the coming years," Summers continued, "but we make these changes while staying true to our commitment to both academic and athletic excellence for all student-athletes."
"In large part, due to the tenuous nature of single sport conferences, we have always felt being under the umbrella of a multi-sport conference would provide greater stability for our student-athletes," said Poisson. "The NEWMAC has established itself as a premier conference for both academics and athletics, and will be a great fit for our members."
Massachusetts Maritime becomes the NEWMAC's second associate member, joining Simmons College, who participates as an associate member for women's rowing.
Director of Athletics Bob Corradi was enthusiastic about the transition, remarking, "Massachusetts Maritime is ecstatic to be an associate member of the NEWMAC in the sport of men's lacrosse. The tradition of playing Babson, Clark, MIT, Springfield and Wheaton as members of the Pilgrim League is something that our student-athletes have taken great pride in, and we look forward to that continuing in the future with Emerson and Coast Guard as well."
"I want to express my thanks on behalf of the Academy to Executive Director Summers, the NEWMAC Presidents and Athletics Directors and to Craig Poisson for their leadership and initiative in this transition," Corradi continued. "All Buccaneers are extremely excited about this new opportunity going forward."
Springfield captured the NEWMAC championship in 1999 and 2000. The Pride have also won the past six Pilgrim League titles and have made 12 appearances in the NCAA tournament since 2000.
The transition from the Pilgrim League to the NEWMAC will officially occur on July 1.

Light snowfall in Christian County, KY
|Christian County, KY, 1/12/11
The first snowstorm went south of us, and the second snowstorm went north. After several days of weather advisories in Christian County, KY, we don't even have enough snow to cover the grass.
Nonetheless, our schools were closed on Monday and Tuesday. In the early hours of those days, snow was falling and the rural roads were slick. Road conditions were judged unsafe for school buses.
Christian County and our neighbor to the west, Trigg County, along with Montgomery County, TN, just across the state line, were back in school today.
My supervisor at work said her children were disgusted when they looked at the school closings map on television this morning. Nearly every school district in western Tennessee and Kentucky cancelled classes again -- except Christian, Trigg, and Montgomery.
I don't think the Mennonite children in our neighborhood have missed a day yet at their little school. They didn't even take a vacation between Christmas and New Year's Day.

Snake River High to perform 'Pirates'
By MELANIE MOORE
THOMAS — The Snake River High School Music Theatre presents Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance," which opens tonight and runs through Saturday. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Snake River High School Auditorium. Tickets are $5.
"Pirates of Penzance," a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek musical melodrama, follows the actions of an apprentice pirate, Frederic. The student cast features the musically talented Curtis VanOrden as Frederic, the comedic Jake Arbon as the pirate king, Drew Parks as General Stanley, Kassidy Stailey as Ruth and Carolyn Grayson as Sergeant of Police.
The full-scale production also features more than a dozen pirates, a dozen daughters of the Major General and numerous policemen. The Snake River Community Orchestra will accompany the students.
The production is not easy, as students have struggled to grasp the language in which Gilbert and Sullivan wrote the musical. But they have fully enjoyed the challenge and have had a lot of fun preparing for the show.
"These teenagers put a lot of work into this," Grayson said.
The students were cast in May and began rehearsing in September.
Jake Arbon, a senior who has performed in numerous productions at Snake River High School, said he enjoys acting and being on stage.
"It is a release from the everyday tedious normalities," Arbon said.
When asked what audiences should take away from the show, Arbon replied with "a sore stomach, hopefully.
"I hope they see the humor in this show," Arbon said.
The Snake River theatre productions rely completely on community support, and the money raised at each show goes toward the next. With school budget reductions, Grayson said it is even more important to support the kids in the program.
"I would like to encourage the community to come out and support us," Grayson said. "They should expect an enjoyable evening."

Ordinarily I don't like to suggest that mamas cut dairy from their diets. Most babies outgrow their allergies/intolerances and I don't personally think that there's any data suggesting that dietary restrictions on mom's part do much to help the babies in the long term. Especially since you don't KNOW what a baby is reacting to- the major offenders are cow's milk, wheat, and soy, but a particular infant could be reacting to a less common allergen.
That all being said, at this point I think it makes sense to try a diary elimination. See if anything changes. There's lots of information on the forum about how to go about elimination diets, how long to give it, where to find so-called "hidden" dairy.
Hang in there, mama! I know this is super-frustrating. But please focus on the positive- you are feeding twins on 100% breastmilk! And they're gaining weight nicely. It's a huge achievement!

We've made no secret of our fascination with Charlotte Free. The grungy model from Los Angeles with a stomping catwalk strut was first discovered in 2010, while playing video games at a local arcade (how cool?). Since then, the elfin beauty has walked for Vivienne Westwood, Jeremy Scott and Roksanda Ilincic, but it was her bad-ass Tumblr that got us hooked and had us reaching for the fuchsia pink hair dye.
Earlier this month, Grazia Daily fawned over her attitude-y poses for US label Forever 21 and now we can reveal that she's bagged yet another campaign. Yup, Maybelline New York has just announced that La Free is to join their distinguished roster of glossy spokeswomen that includes Christy Turlington and Erin Wasson. WOW-EE, we love that the beauty brand is going down such an edgy route!
'Charlotte is the new generation of beauty,' says Damien Bertrand, Maybelline's Global Brand President. 'Her great energy and her unconventional style make her unique. Spontaneous, confident and daring, Charlotte is the perfect representative of the Maybelline New York woman.' Hear, hear. Charlotte sounds pretty stoked too: 'I am so excited to be the new face of Maybelline New York. It's an honour to represent this truly iconic brand and a dream come true for me.'
We've got an exclusive sneaky peek at the TV campaign that Char is set to star in (coming soon) and our verdict? She makes THE perfect ambassador for the range of Colour Sensational Popstick lipsticks. She wears dramatic yellow eyeshadow in a superwoman stylee with three-tone hair (black roots, pale blondeness and peachy top-knot) plus bubblegum pink lips. And just to add to the daring approach, she's sporting a teeny-tiny black leotard with bondage-esque zipped-up neck. Hmm, we have an inkling that our fascination with with the exuberant star is set to stay...

EAST WINDSOR — Where does the story of Iron Heart Canning begin?
Is it St. Patrick's Day 2006, when Ann Stratton and Tyler Wille met through a friend, when they were both at a bar in New York City? Tyler was high on whiskey, not beer, so maybe not.
Was it in 2010, the year they married, when they bought a fixer upper in Norwalk? Buying a house made getting a small business loan more feasible, since now they had collateral.
The couple were still commuting into the city — she was a reporter at This Old House Magazine, and he was a financial controller for a hedge fund. But Wille, who has an economics degree from Lehigh University, wasn't feeling inspired at work. He...

Bonehead Bulb Bill Backers Boost Boatloads of BS: Media Matters Bites Back
July 21, 2011
Bottom line: Yes they have mercury – vanishingly small, and getting smaller amount. (see below) The coal burning that your bulb help us avoid will keep more mercury out of the environment than exists in the bulb.
No, incandescent bulbs are not banned – the efficiency standard simply says they have to meet a certain performance level, like the mileage standard on your car.
And anyway, the whole issue will become moot as high quality LED bulbs, even more efficient than compact fluorescents, with no mercury, drop in price over the next few years.
The conservative media campaign in support of House GOP efforts to overturn light bulb efficiency standards signed into law by President Bush centers on two primary claims: 1) That we will all be forced to use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when the standards take effect and 2) That CFLs are terrible.
It is simply not the case that consumers will have to use CFLs, contrary to what conservative media outlets claimed in at least 40 instances over the past seven months. Moreover, these media outlets have used false and misleading attacks to demonize CFLs, which can save households more than $57 per bulb, according to Consumer Reports.
MYTH: CFL Bulbs Pose Serious Health Risk
Product Safety Group: "If Disposed Of Properly, Mercury In CFLs Shouldn't Be A Safety Hazard." According to a report on CFLs and mercury from the product safety certification organization Underwriters Laboratories:
CFLs contain a small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing – approximately 5 milligrams – a hundred times less mercury than found in a single old-style glass thermometer. No mercury is released when the lamps are intact or in use and if disposed of properly, mercury in CFLs shouldn't be a safety hazard. [Underwriters Laboratories, accessed 3/22/11]
[EnergyStar explains how to clean up a broken CFL bulb]
Lawrence Berkeley Lab Researchers: Breaking A CFL Comparable To Eating Tuna. According to Yahoo! News, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found that mercury exposure from broken CFLs is comparable to eating tuna:
But, just how dangerous is a broken bulb? Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory set out to answer that question. They compared how much exposure you'd get from breathing in the amount of mercury released from a broken CFL bulb to how much mercury you'd take in from eating Albacore tuna.
If you do a common sense job of cleaning up (open the windows, clean up, and remove the debris), then your mercury exposure would be the equivalent of taking a tiny nibble of tuna, according to Francis Rubinstein, a staff scientist at Berkeley Lab. What if you did the worst job possible, say closed all the doors and smashed the bulb with a hammer? It's still no big deal, says Rubinstein, who points out that it would be the equivalent of eating one can of tuna. [Yahoo! News, 5/7/09]
Energy Star: Mercury In CFLs Is Dwarfed By Mercury Emissions From Coal-Fired Power Plants. From Energy Star, a program of the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy:
EPA estimates the U.S. is responsible for the release of 103 metric tons of mercury emissions each year. More than half of these emissions come from coal-fired electrical power. Mercury released into the air is the main way that mercury gets into water and bio-accumulates in fish. (Eating fish contaminated with mercury is the main way for humans to be exposed.)
CFLs contain a very small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing – an average of 4 milligrams. Because of this, EPA recommends that consumers take advantage of available local recycling options for CFLs. But if the CFL is not recycled and it ends up in a landfill, EPA estimates that about 11% of the mercury in the CFL is released into air or water, assuming the light bulb is broken. This is because most mercury vapor inside fluorescent light bulbs becomes bound to the inside of the light bulb. Therefore, if all 270 million CFLs sold in 2009 were sent to a landfill (versus recycled, as a worst case) – they would add only 0.12 metric tons, or 0.12%, to U.S. mercury emissions caused by humans. [Energy Star, November 2010]
Consumer Advocates: "CFLs Save Between 2 And 10 Times More Mercury From The Environment Than Is Used In The Bulb." From a March 9 letter to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee from Consumers Union (publisher of Consumer Reports), National Consumers League, Consumer Federation of America, Public Citizen and the National Consumer Law Center:
Improving safety throughout the lifecycle of a product is also very important, and Congress should develop a comprehensive recycling program for light bulbs, particularly CFLs, in order to recapture mercury or other possible toxics used in new light bulbs and prevent them from contaminating landfills. Recycling programs may also be required for LEDs as we learn more about the toxic materials present. However, it is important to note that CFLs save between 2 and 10 times more mercury from the environment than is used in the bulb because their efficiency avoids mercury pollution that would otherwise be emitted from coal-fired power plants. [Senate Hearing 112-10, 3/10/11]

There Is No Research Indicating That CFLs Cause Headaches. From the U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
The vast majority of CFL users, both in households and in commercial buildings, report no issues regarding CFL usage, including headaches. There are some anecdotal reports, however, and, although there is yet no research to directly explain any plausible causative mechanism, it may be possible that some people are susceptible to such headache effects just as some people claim to be annoyed by normal fluorescent lighting. However, the overwhelming numbers of people that use CFLs report no such negative effects. [U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 4/28/09]
MYTH: Light From CFLs Is Blue And Harsh
Consumer Reports: "Many [CFLs] Now Light Like Ordinary Bulbs." From an August 2009Consumer Reports article:
Myth: CFLs produce a harsh blue light.
Reality: Many now light like ordinary bulbs. Those with a 2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin (K) number have a warmer, yellower color; 3,500 K to 6,500 K bulbs emit a bluer or whiter light. Energy Star CFLs must include the Kelvin number on the package as of December. Look for CFLs labeled "soft" or "warm" white for light like an incandescent's, and choose "bright white," "natural," or "daylight" for whiter light. [Consumer Reports, August 2009]
The following photo, taken at an Ace Hardware store in Washington, DC, displays the range of color temperature available from CFL bulbs:
Popular Mechanics Test: CFLs Scored Higher Than Incandescent Bulb On "Overall Quality Of The Light." From Popular Mechanics in May 2007:
Popular Mechanics designed a test pitting seven common CFLs against a 75-watt incandescent bulb. To gather objective data, we used a Konica Minolta CL-200 chroma meter to measure color temperature and brightness, and a Watts up? Pro ammeter to track power consumption. Our subjective data came from a double-blind test with three PM staffers and Jesse Smith, a lighting expert from Parsons The New School for Design, in Manhattan. We put our participants in a color-neutral room and asked them to examine colorful objects, faces and reading material, then rate the bulbs' performance.
The results surprised us. Even though the incandescent bulb measured slightly brighter than the equivalent CFLs, our subjects didn't see any dramatic difference in brightness. And here was the real shocker: When it came to the overall quality of the light, all the CFLs scored higher than our incandescent control bulb. [Popular Mechanics, 5/1/07]
USA TODAY/Gallup Poll: 84 Percent Of Americans Are "Satisfied" Or "Very Satisfied" With Alternatives To Incandescents. USA Today reported in February: "Nearly three of four U.S. adults, or 71%, say they have replaced standard light bulbs in their home over the past few years with compact fluorescent lamps or LEDs (light emitting diodes) and 84% say they are 'very satisfied' or 'satisfied' with the alternatives, according to the survey of 1,016 U.S. adults taken Feb. 15-16."

As this post states, CFLs do contain a small amount of mercury and consumers should be aware of this. However, CFLs and fluorescent lamps can be an environmentally-friendly lighting option if they are disposed of properly. The EPA estimates recycling rates of fluorescent lamps at only 20 to 25 percent, leaving the majority to be placed in dumpsters and eventually end up in landfills—where they may emit hazardous mercury vapor into the environment. The consumer recycling rate has been estimated to be even lower—possibly at less than 2 percent.
Mercury-containing waste that isn't properly recycled poses a serious environmental and health concern. It is important to encourage recycling of mercury-containing products, such as CFLs. However, there is still much work to be done. Safe recycling facilities exist, but should be encouraged by new rules and regulations. New legislation should also ensure that used fluorescent lamps are packaged in configurations proven to effectively contain mercury vapor emitted from broken lamps.

Dog found with Nazi symbol shaved on head
A North Phoenix woman reportedly found her neighbor's dog with a swastika shaved on its head.
The Chihuahua with the shaved mark showed up on the woman's doorstep, KPNX-TV reported. The mother of three wondered, "Is this a message towards me?"
The symbol was part of Nazi Germany, especially during Adolf Hitler's reign, but resurfaced at a rally on Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, among tattooed and Nazi flag-carrying protesters.
The dog's owners told police they're getting rid of the symbol on the dog.

White Papers and Application Notes
A COMSOL Model of Damage Evolution Due to High Energy Laser Irradiation of Partially Absorptive MaterialsP. Joyce[1], J. Radice[1], A. Tresansky[1], J. Watkins[1]
[1]United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD, USA
In this paper we present a transient numerical model of the heat transfer and thermochemical damage evolution in an IR translucent material using COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is evaluated using literature supplied and experimentally determined material properties for carbon black laden PMMA (polymethyl-methacrylate). This variant of PMMA was chosen because it is homogeneous, isotropic, and the decomposition from solid to gas is relatively straightforward to characterize. The incident high energy laser beam is modeled as a Gaussian heat flux. The beam parameters used for this study were selected to mimic that of a Nd:YAG high energy laser with a wavelength of 1070nm, an output power of 110W, and a spot size with a 5.5mm beam diameter. At this wavelength, NIRS/FTIR experiments have measured that PMMA absorbs approximately half of the incident laser energy. PMMA was also experimentally observed to vaporize from 310°C to 475°C via differential scanning calorimetry. The temperature range and endothermic phase change from solid to gas is incorporated in the COMSOL model. Rather than use an adaptive mesh, material removal (or drilling) was captured using temperature and phase dependent material properties. The model captures vaporization material removal by appropriately varying the thermal conductivity and density of the PMMA at the vaporization temperature. The model results are compared to experiments on carbon-laden PMMA.

Release Date: July 22, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Court proceedings, exposure to the legal world and historic sights await students participating in University at Buffalo's Undergraduate Academies second annual Extension Learning program.
The week-long program, Lawyers as Agents of Social Change, invites high school graduating seniors and college students of all levels to the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua Lake from July 28 to Aug. 4. The students will explore the role of lawyers in the community as they advocate for and participate in social change. The students will be accompanied by two faculty members from the UB Law School, Bernadette Gargano and Johanna Oreskovic.
"We want students to participate in the process of learning, to consider different perspectives from a variety of sources," said Gargano, a member of the UB Law School's legal skills faculty. "Students will have the chance to focus on learning in an atmosphere that fosters creativity and reflection."
The program began last year when Gargano approached Hadar Borden, administrative director of undergraduate academies, with an idea to introduce undergraduate students to the legal world in a professional and motivating environment.
"She really wanted students to experience what it was like to be a lawyer in a real-world setting," said Borden. "We don't use the word 'transformative' very often, but students said the experience was genuinely transformative for them. They especially loved being surrounded by peers with the same enthusiasm and drive."
Last year's trip introduced students to legal proceedings, and arranged meet-and-greets with lawyers devoted to legal justice on both a local and global scale. One highlight for the students was a dinner at the home of Francis Letro, prominent attorney in the national community and vice chair of the UB Law School's Dean's Advisory Council.
This year, students will be introduced to the concepts of crime, punishment and public service based on the life of Justice Robert H. Jackson. This historical example will lead to an exploration of modern legal systems and their continued impact on society.
Additionally, students will have the option to continue their study with Gargano in the fall as part of a discovery seminar surrounding the legal system's involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.
"We provide students with an interactive learning experience that broadens their understanding of lawyers in local, national and global communities as agents of meaningful social change," said Gargano.
Fee for the program is $1,050 and registration is still being accepted. For more information, contact Borden at 716-645-8177.

The method Beaufort County uses to select its treasurer and auditor is on the Nov. 6 ballot. The treasurer and auditor are currently elected by voters/taxpayers to those positions.
A referendum asking if voters/taxpayers want to continue electing the treasurer and auditor or if they want to allow the county's administrator to make the appointment is up for debate. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, the positions are important to the operations of Beaufort County. And because of this, accountability should come with any public office - elected or appointed.
The auditor is responsible for generating tax bills and the treasurer is responsible for collecting, distributing and investing money. The county also has a chief financial officer - appointed by the administrator - that has other responsibilities. These range from monitoring spending, ensuring contracts are properly handled and enforced to overseeing businesses licenses and fees.
We think the county administrator already has enough authority, power and influence, and that the way the treasurer and auditor are selected should stay as elected. But we again stress that accountability is essential. An elected treasurer still works for the county and for the people. Just like an elected auditor is accountable to voters, residents and county officials. We rely on county officials to put checks and balances in place and to monitor all work of the county - whether it is by an appointed CFO or an elected auditor and treasurer.
All the candidates for key county positions - auditor, treasurer and CFO - should be qualified and vetted.
Voters have an opportunity to re-elect the treasurer and auditor or to change course if deemed necessary.
Those who support a change to appointments say there are not always people with the necessary experience on the ballot. If this is the case, the county needs to do a better job of communicating the importance of both positions and also recruit those qualified to seek public office.
The county needs to run efficiently and effectively like a business. Its customers are taxpayers and voters.
To help make sure there is no confusion at the polls, here is the question as it appears on the ballot and what a "yes" means and what a "no" means.
Should the form of Beaufort County's government be changed from that of a Council/Administrator form of government as set forth in S.C. Code of Laws Title 4, Chapter 9, Article 7 (1976, as amended) to that of a Council/Manager form of government as set forth in S.C. Code of Laws Title 4, Chapter 9, Article 9 (1976, as amended) and provide for the appointment of the County Treasurer and County Auditor?
A vote of YES means the voter is in favor of changing the current form of government to a Council/Manager form of government, which provides for the appointment of the County Treasurer and County Auditor.
A vote of NO means the voter is opposed to changing the current form of government, and wishes to retain the current Council Administrator form of government, which provides for the election of the County Auditor and County Treasurer.
We think the county will be better served to continue on its current path of electing the treasurer and auditor. We believe this will work as our county administrator is more than capable of leading the county and ensuring that all facets of county business are done well.
Coming Sunday: Our view on the land conservation referendum on the ballot.

Just asking because the prints look amazing. When I print custom torsos, my printer little messes up the colors because the detail is so tiny.

Is there a purely algebraic characterization of the adjacency matrix of a tree ? In other words, given an n X n boolean matrix, can I determine whether it's the adjacency matrix of a tree with purely algebraic conditions (rather than writing down the induced graph and checking).
The reason I'd like this is because I want to talk about the space of such matrices, and I'd like to speak algebraically, rather than indirectly via a conversion to a graph. This seems like something that should be fairly well known: I've found some descriptions that involve all determinants of minors, and was hoping there was something more "compact".
