On the surface of her first new novel in a decade, the vaguely autobiographical, startlingly ambitious "See Now Then," author Jamaica Kincaid seems to tell a simple story about a New England family that is falling apart. Mr. Sweet, a musician and composer, turns out to hate his wife, a writer known only as Mrs. Sweet, and their children, Persephone and Heracles. But just beneath the surface is a much larger, even cosmic meditation on the nature of time — as Mr. Sweet puts it, "the seeing of Now being Then and how Then becomes Now."
For Mrs. Sweet, as for Kincaid herself, Then includes her history as a child growing up on a small island in the Caribbean — the former British colony of Antigua, in the author's case — where she was punished for her youthful precocity by being forced to copy out large sections of John Milton's "Paradise Lost."
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Kincaid, 63, is best known for "At the Bottom of the River" (1983), "Lucy" (1990), "The Autobiography of My Mother" (1996) and "Mr. Potter" (2002), along with her voluminous writings on gardening. Printers Row Journal talked with the author, who spoke in a mellifluous British accent, by phone; here's an edited transcript of our chat.
Q: The title of the book relates to both its theme — the mystery of time — and its modernist form, which communicates a sense of how the past and future relate to the present.
A: Yes, that's right. I have a photograph of myself when I was 2 years of age, and I don't recognize the person in the photograph. She doesn't look anything like me, and I can't find any trace of her in me physically. And yet I remember her very, very well — even her anxiety. Her brow is already creased, vertically not horizontally. The two sides of her brow are knitted together, seemingly falling toward each other, creating a cleft. I still have it. It hasn't gotten any deeper; it's just now permanent. But I look at the picture and think, where did she go?
I'm sure there's a chemist or physicist or somebody who studies cells and so on who could tell you all sorts of things about it, but it wouldn't be a very satisfactory explanation. It's something that's always obsessed me: Where do things go? How do things get old? And I started with that, I suppose, as the germ of the novel, a sort of scaffold, and sort of hung domestic life, the life of the family, on it. But mainly it's to do with time.
Q: And so the story of the family, including the decaying marriage at the center of it, is really subordinate to your thoughts about time.
A: Yes. You might be the first interviewer who hasn't started out by saying, "You were married to a composer, you have two children, you live in Vermont, so this must be about you." It's not about me. If I were going to write a book about me, believe me, I would say so.
Q: Reading the book, I was constantly struck by its unusual form, which seems to have been influenced by the writing of Gertrude Stein. Could you talk about your influences in the book?
A: The big influences on my writing are, first, the King James version of the Bible, which I read obsessively as a child because it was the only thing I had to read, really. I grew up in a place where books were very, very scarce, and I loved to read. I used to read the writing on my breakfast Ovaltine over and over again because it was in front of me, and I couldn't help but read anything that was in front of me. And I had my own little Bible, very small, and read it a lot, along with the Concise Oxford Dictionary, which my mother gave to me when I was 7. My emphasis on words — emphasizing words, isolating words, the way I want them to have another meaning other than the one immediately relevant — must come from that experience of reading the dictionary as a piece of literature.
Another influence is "Paradise Lost," which I had to copy as a punishment when I was 7 also. A lot of things happened to me when I was 7; it was the age when I was the most precocious and got into a lot of trouble with being put into situations where people tried to contain me physically because of my active mind. They thought if they could contain me physically, they could contain me intellectually. And yes, there's a connection to Stein. I think I read that she didn't grow up in a religious home, but the Hebrew Bible is clearly a big influence on her, particularly in the authorial authority she has, which is rather godlike. She exerts a tremendous, tyrannical force on the written word, so that you don't really question what she's doing. You're either a believer in Stein or not.
Finally I have to mention Charlotte Bronte, whose "Jane Eyre" was given to me to read, again as a punishment, at age 11.
Q: You must have been a rather naughty child, to have been punished by your parents and teachers so often.
A: In their eyes, I was a naughty child. But of course it wasn't really that I was naughty. I was curious, and there wasn't enough to satisfy my curiosity on a small island, a British colony where the resources were extremely limited. My family was poor. I was often the youngest person in my classes, but I always subverted the class by making my friends laugh, making fun of the teacher behind her back or something. You wouldn't call me naughty now; you would recognize me as someone who should be kept busy, intellectually. But in that colonial situation I grew up in, and being female, I obviously wasn't going to be the prime minister. I was going to be the prime minister's mistress, maybe; nothing, really, was meant to become of me. And so I probably misbehaved a lot, and certainly I was punished a lot.
Q: Copying "Paradise Lost" must have been quite daunting at that age.
A: The daunting part was that I didn't have any light. I grew up without electricity, so it was lamplight, and got very dark. The intellectual part of it wasn't daunting at all. We were expected to know all sorts of things at a quite early age, like the list of kings of England — and they were mostly kings — starting from the beginning. By that time I knew the Bible very well, and in fact the book of Revelation was a favorite of mine, because it was terrifying.
Q: There's also, in "See Now Then," a kind of mythical overlay, for example with the children's names, Persephone and Heracles. That's a modernist tendency, going back to James Joyce, reinventing old mythologies for contemporary purposes. Did you start out consciously with that strategy in mind?
A: Not consciously, no. I trust my unconscious more than my conscious. I think with the children's names, there was an indication of them never changing or evolving, which was basically conscious. Then I started to write about the view from the house where they lived, and the view involved, in my imagination, a house I could see, and the house was real. I remembered that house, which was rehabilitated by a man named Homer, a real person. All the description in the novel about Homer dying — I actually went to his funeral, and had those thoughts. And only long afterwards, I thought, "Oh my gosh, it's Homer." And there are also references to the Iliad and the Odyssey.
But you know, I've always been interested in making my characters larger than ordinary life, just because I always think that existence is so exquisitely special. The delicateness, the fragility of a human existence is amazing, when you think about it. Maybe that's why my books are so short, because I can't believe a human existence goes on for more than a few pages.
Q: Families, and marriages in particular, often give the impression of being somehow impervious to time. But of course marriages, like everything else, change and get old. People do outgrow each other. But there's something about the nature of marriage that gives this illusion of timelessness —
A: And permanence, yes. But you'd have to say that the entire idea of the social contract always needs renegotiating, because one human being simply cannot live according to the original intent, so to speak. In the Old Testament, if you think of the relationship between human beings and God as a marriage, you see it change over time, and the marriage has to be reinvented. God is at a loss, because how could this be? He made them.
Q: You're also known for your nonfiction, essays and reporting. I recently did a profile of Joan Didion, who said she'd always thought of herself as a novelist; the nonfiction was kind of fill-in work, which was interesting for her to say because most people think of her as primarily a writer of creative nonfiction. It seems that some writers who do both — fiction and nonfiction — tend to put them in different boxes, so to speak. Do you do that?
A: Joan Didion comes from a culture in which she can situate herself in fiction, nonfiction and so on. It's just from sheer will, and love, that I'm a writer at all. I have no precedent for it. I come from a little island with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. I come from, really, nowhere, and for me, the fiction and the nonfiction, creative or otherwise, all come from the same place.
I have no interest in calling myself anything but a writer. When I write nonfiction, it's always absolutely true. There will be no moment in my nonfiction where I have made something up and have to apologize to the bullying hostess of a talk show. When I write fiction, you would not be able to take it to The Hague to convict anyone, because no matter how "true" it seems, it's not truth in a legal way. But that's the only distinction I make between fiction and nonfiction. That luxury of considering myself a particular kind of writer, I can't have it, because it simply isn't the claim I make on life itself.
Q: So fiction, in your mind, doesn't exist on some higher plane than nonfiction.
A: Not at all. I'm happy to write, period.

A Brief History of a Controversial Term
In the years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, there has been much contention over the term "Islamofascism", which is frequently used in the polemics of those who are critical of Islam. However, it is only recently that the term has been comprehensively analysed and placed in a historical context from a scholarly perspective.
The respected journal Die Welt des Islams (The World of Islam) has published a special issue on the subject, compiled by its former long-serving publisher, the German Orientalist Stefan Wild.
Polemical comparisons involving Islam have been common in the West for quite some time. Reinhard Schulze, a Bern-based expert in Islamic Studies, has illustrated just how far back the practice reaches. In the post-Napoleonic era, for example, it was typical to denounce the leaders of the French Revolution as followers of a political religion and to associate their fanaticism with Islam. Robespierre was even depicted as a "new Mahomet."
From Bismarck to Hitler
In the years of the so-called "Kulturkampf" (a struggle between the state and the Catholic Church in the German Empire of the late nineteenth century), religious commentators used such analogies to defame political rivals as harbingers of a "new Islam." Even during the German nationalism debate at the time, these kinds of polemics were employed, although they were concerned less with the aspect of supposed heresy and more with the accusation of despotism.
The German philosopher Constantin Frantz, an opponent of Prussia's policy on Germany, compared Bismarck to Mohammed and his regime with Islam. With the rise of fascism, the theme of religious fanaticism once again came to the fore, and the use of Islam analogies became virulent. Foreign observers believed the epithets suited Mussolini: the Italian dictator was – as Hitler was too at a later date – often referred to as a "prophet."
"One is incapable of understanding National Socialism," explained the Swiss theologian Karl Barth in a lecture in December 1938, "unless one sees it as a new Islam, its myth as a new Allah and Hitler as its prophet."
What had always remained unclear in the use such polemical analogies, however, was exactly where the common ground between Islam and fascism lay.
The German theologian Hans Ehrenberg, a co-founder of the Confessing Church, was one of the first to provide solid arguments for the comparison in a lecture he gave in 1941. According to Reinhard Schulze, Ehrenberg came up with a whole argumentative arsenal that is still drawn upon today by those critics of Islam who use the term "Islamofascism".
The first point of the argument, explains Schulze, is to claim that Islam is, at its core, fascist. Then, some positive statements about Hitler and Mussolini made by Arabs or Muslims are cited and taken to be representative of Muslim opinion as a whole. Finally, the spotlight is shone on some Muslim country with a repressive regime, which supposedly borrowed its structure from the fascist model of the state.
From the Islamic Revolution to 9/11
This last point in particular featured in Western portrayals of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. In this context, the Orientalist Detlev Khalid Duran (1940–2010), who for a time worked in Germany, was one of the very first people to use the term "Islamofascism". However, it was only later that it became a catchword, namely when Duran applied the term in reference to Islamism in an interview with the conservative newspaper The Washington Times in July 2001.
The term did not suddenly come into widespread use immediately after 9/11. Instead, as Schulze's statistics indicate, it only really became popular in the years 2005 to 2008. The highpoint of the term's use was in 2006, triggered by statements made by the then American President George W. Bush.
On 7 August that year, Bush warned against the dangers of Islamofascism as a fixed ideology that threatened to overwhelm the Middle East and that therefore had to be fought. Four days later, he spoke of a war pursued by the American nation against "Islamic fascists" who would stop at nothing to harm freedom-loving Americans and their country.
Europe in 2013
Today, as Stefan Wild remarks in his introduction, the term "Islamofascism" is becoming increasingly widespread among right-wing populists and extremists, particularly in Europe. He views this as a cause for concern, among other things because the term has, until now, been inadequately addressed and discussed by scholars.
Indeed, the article by the German historian Joachim Schlotyseck in this very interesting journal, which features a total of twelve articles, shows just how problematic it is to apply the phenomenon of fascism to the particulars of the Arab world, where only superficial attempts were made to imitate fascist role models – and only by individual, politically unsuccessful groups at that.
In addition, the Arab world lacks the most important factors that researchers regard as the preconditions for the rise of fascist movements in Europe, namely, a centralised state with a well-functioning bureaucracy, a high degree of urbanisation and secularisation, and a firmly established democracy that fascists can proclaim as their enemy.

Hall of Fame 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice used to run up the stairs of San Francisco's Candlestick Park as part of his basic training. Sunday, two Rams rookies reportedly did the same—not by choice.
St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher made cornerback Janoris Jenkins and wide receiver Chris Givens run those same stadium stairs shortly before kickoff as an extended punishment for violating a team rule. Both Jenkins and Givens already were deactivated for the Rams' afternoon game with the Niners, which ended in a 24-24 tie. Fisher didn't allow the pair to play because of a curfew violation.
Fisher has brought a much-needed sense of discipline in his first year as the Rams' coach and sent a strong message in Week 10, as his team responded with a great road effort. In the case of Jenkins and Givens not suiting up, the next men up happened to be fellow rookies, cornerback Trumaine Johnson and wide receiver Brian Quick.
Jenkins and Givens had been key contributors through the first half of the season, so it shows that Fisher isn't giving anyone special treatment. Given the workout they just got, you can bet the rookies will think more than twice before being late for anything.

Storm tears apart already fragile Cape coast
20, 30 feet of beach washed away in some areas in Cape Cod
The southeast part of the state is still trying to assess damage from this weekend's storm, including surveying the massive erosion of the already fragile Cape Cod coastline.
Many property owners on Cape Cod saw 20 to 30 feet of real estate washed away during the weekend storm. The Cape Cod Times reported that massive pieces of shoreline, private and public property, town landings and roadways were swept away.
Brewster Town Administrator Charles Sumner told the paper that selectmen were briefed by Natural Resources Director Chris Miller on "what was really a hugely damaging storm that affected every town beach and landing. The damage is significant."
There is no estimate yet on the total cost to repair damage caused by the storm.
On average, the Cape loses about 1 foot a year to erosion.

- More about Emile Henry
Emile Henry has been crafting artful kitchen ceramics since 1850, when the French company was founded in a small town in Burgundy. Today, it's still proudly owned and operated by members of the Henry family. The mineral-rich soils of Burgundy are known for creating wines with unique terroir, but they also yield the special local clays used to craft each piece of Emile Henry cookware and bakeware. The high-fired clay withstands extremely high temperatures while distributing and retaining heat gently and evenly. Artisans hand apply the glazes to create vivid color that looks beautiful in the kitchen and at the table.

A question of ethics: say you want a new novel bad—really bad—but you want the digital version for your Kindle/iPad/Sony Reader. The publisher, hoping to goose sales of the book in hardcover for $28, isn't about to offer a $10 e-book version until the novel comes out in paperback. So you buy the hardcover and then pirate a homebrew e-book, which someone has helpfully made available in one of the darker corners of the Internet. Should you be fitted for an eye patch and peg leg?
As a matter of law, you probably are a pirate (or, to be accurate, an infringer). But the interesting question isn't one of law, it's one of ethics, and New York Times syndicated columnist Randy Cohen tackled the conundrum in last week's "The Ethicist" column.
His answer might surprise you, appearing as it does in the pages and on the websites of newspapers, which are so concerned about piracy that many are lobbying for a new federal "hot news" law.
"An illegal download is—to use an ugly word—illegal. But in this case, it is not unethical," writes Cohen. "Author and publisher are entitled to be paid for their work, and by purchasing the hardcover, you did so. Your subsequent downloading is akin to buying a CD, then copying it to your iPod.
"Buying a book or a piece of music should be regarded as a license to enjoy it on any platform. Sadly, the anachronistic conventions of bookselling and copyright law lag the technology. Thus you've violated the publishing company's legal right to control the distribution of its intellectual property, but you've done no harm or so little as to meet my threshold of acceptability."
Shifting gears
The question is one about the limits of format shifting. Is it the case that purchasing any piece of intellectual property entitles you, as a matter of morality if not quite of law, to shift those words or sounds or images to computers, iPods, smartphones, and e-book readers? To put it another way: once you purchase a song or a book or a movie, do you have perpetual rights to that content, digitally shifting it from one device to another, never needing to rebuy all your stuff in order to have it in some new format?
Publishers are aghast at the idea as extended to books, though to consumers, it sounds pretty wonderful. Imagine that you had some way of verifying that you owned each item in your personal library, and that you could then download a digital copy of all those books for free through Google Books. Wonderful—and certainly a spur to the hardware vendors like Apple and Amazon and Sony. But not so terrific for publishers.
The site Mediabistro collected a few complaints about Cohen's column from its book-business readers. "So, if you own the hardcover you should get the paperback for free? Different platform, right?" said one. A moment's thought makes clear the confusion underlying this rejoinder; paperbacks cost the publisher money to design and print and store and ship. Homemade e-books do not.
Another complained that audiobooks were a different thing from the printed word (the original column doesn't mention audiobooks at all, but e-books).
Another argued that the pirating was fine, so long as the reader eventually paid for the legal e-book once it was available. "[Cohen] is basically stating, 'Hey, you paid for the words, period, no matter their packaging.' I can't agree with that."
We actually think that giving away a free e-book version of hardcover books is a superb idea. Many of us at Ars are wedded to our dead tree book collection and leery of having only an e-book, what with the DRM, the limitations on resale, and the like. But the convenience can't be beat. Offering both for the same price would spur hardcover sales (which make more than paperbacks) while still providing the convenience readers want.
But publishers don't want to devalue the e-book, and both our suggestion and Cohen's casuistry can be seen as committing this cardinal sin. The worry is that the public comes to see e-books as being worth nothing; they are an add-on, a freebie offered with something else. As books migrate increasingly to digital formats, this is a dangerous feeling to encourage.
Still, we can't help wondering if Cohen has a point here. If transferring content from a CD to a computer is acceptable, then would it not be acceptable to spend two weeks typing a newly acquired book into your word processor? And if so, why not just cut out all the work and download the e-book? This is the same as asking: if I paid for a CD, can I just grab those songs from a P2P network instead of ripping them to my machine?
If this were about buying a DVD of Finding Nemo and then grabbing a Blu-ray P2P rip a couple years later, that would be one thing; the two really are different versions of the same film, and buying the DVD would not seem to entitle you to the Blu-ray. Likewise, paying for a movie ticket in the theater doesn't make it ethically allowable to go home and grab a camcorder rip from P2P networks.
But this example is different: identical textual copies in electronic form, both designed to offer the same private reading experience. Are these not, in essence, identical in all the ways that matter? Given the industry's worries about actual piracy, the kind where people don't pay the publishers a cent, such format-shifting probably isn't high on the list of worries that keep publishing execs up at night.
It's a complicated debate. Say that the e-book version you download is not one that some poor sap with a scanner cooked up on his own, but is in fact the official version from the author or publisher. Yes, you have the same words, but you've only paid for the one object (the book), while the e-book took time and resources to prepare, even if distribution is dirt cheap. Assuming that the Ars Hive Mind had the chance to instruct the world in the digital ethics around format shifting, what would it say?

JprotschJune 7, 2015 @ 4:07 pmHello I have a 94 railway centennial edition. It is the Golden Spike, I still have the original box and all the paper work and certificate that came with it, I also still have the original warranty card for the gun. I got it from a friends grandpa that had never shot it and it sat in the box. I have shot about 25 rounds through the gun and have killed a bear with it this year. Gun has zero rust it has one nick on the bottom of the tube mag from carrying it through the bush, gun has been cleaned after every shot and operates flawless, also incredibly accurate. Reason to sell is I already have a 30-30 and am wanting to build my own gun and just keep cycling my collection. I do not know much about the 94's other then the pre 64 are worth more I am pretty sure this is not a pre 64. so if you are interested send me an email to email@example.com, not sure what a good price would be for this either, I can send pics if you email me. Thanks

Beginning June 1, customers can opt to contribute $5.50 for a domestic round trip or $11 for an international roundtrip. The money will go to The Conservation Fund, which will use it to plant trees and help support its education and outreach programs.
Delta also said it has pledged to plant a tree for each of its 47,000 employees. It said it will make a donation to The Conservation Fund for every customer taking a Delta mainline or Delta Shuttle flight on Earth Day, April 22.
Shares of Delta, which will become worthless as the carrier exits bankruptcy protection were unchanged at 16 cents in over-the-counter trading.

What Are Republicans Thinking?!?
I posted recently at International Liberty about the stunning political incompetence of Republican Senators, who reportedly are willing to give Obama an increase in the debt limit in exchange for a vote (yes, just a vote) on a balanced budget amendment.
As I explained, there is no way they can get the necessary two‐thirds support to approve an amendment, so why trade a meaningless and symbolic vote on a BBA for meaningful and real approval of more borrowing authority for Obama? My analogy yesterday was that this was like trading an all‐star baseball player for a utility infielder in the minor leagues.
I did acknowledge that forcing a vote on a BBA was a worthwhile endeavor, but said that the GOP has that power anyhow, so why trade away something valuable to get something you already can get for free?
Little did I realize that Republicans already did force a vote on the balanced budget amendment. Less than one month ago, on March 2, Senator Lee of Utah got a vote on a "Sense of the Senate" resolution in favor of a balanced budget amendment. Senator Lee's resolution received 58 votes, which is nice, but an actual amendment would need a two‐thirds supermajority, so this test vote demonstrated that there is no way to approve an amendment this year.
I'm glad Senator Lee proposed his resolution. I'm glad Senators were forced to go on the record.
But I'm mystified, flabbergasted, and stunned that Republicans apparently are willing to give Obama a bigger debt limit in exchange for something they already got.
Returning to our baseball analogy, this would be like the Yankees giving Derek Jeter to the Red Sox in exchange for a player they already have, such as Alex Rodriguez. I imagine New York sportswriters would be dumbfounded by such stupidity and would rip the team's management to shreds. So that gives you an idea of how I feel about what's happening in Washington.
As I noted in my earlier post, I'll soon write about the fiscal reforms fiscal conservatives should demand in exchange for a higher debt limit.

Washington (CNN) - More than half of all Americans say that President Barack Obama has met or exceeded their expectations of how he would handle his job in the White House, but according to a new national survey, that represents a steep drop-off compared to the start of his first term in office.
And a CNN/ORC International poll released Friday also indicates the president gets low or middling approval ratings for some of the top concerns on the public's mind.
Follow @politicalticker
According to the survey, nearly half of all Americans say the economy remains the most important issue facing the country today, with the federal budget deficit in second place at 23%.
So how's Obama doing on those issues?
Forty-eight percent say they approve of the job he is doing on the economy, with 51% disapproving. Just over four in ten give the president a thumbs up on how he has dealt with the deficit, with 57% giving him a thumbs down.
"President Obama gets a lower approval rating on the deficit than any other of the 15 issues tested in the survey," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
Number three on the list of important issues is health care, at 14%. Half the public approves of Obama's track record on that issue, but half disapprove.
Obama gets a better rating on foreign policy, and scores his highest approval on terrorism. But only 4% of the public says that foreign policy is the top issue facing the country. Six in ten approve of how Obama is handling environmental policy, which next to terrorism is his best grade in the poll, but only 2% say that the environment is the country's most important issue, number seven out of the seven issues tested.
"It all adds up to a familiar pattern for Obama: high marks on a wide range of issues that appear to be of secondary concern to the public and lower numbers on a few key issues like the economy and the deficit that are uppermost on Americans' minds," adds Holland.
The president's overall approval rating stands at 55% in a CNN poll released on Wednesday, with 43% saying they disapprove of the job Obama is doing in the White House. Of those who disapprove, 34% say they disapprove because Obama is too liberal, with 7% saying they give the president a thumbs down because he's not liberal enough.
The president's approval rating is up three points from a mid December CNN/ORC poll that was conducted just days after a suicidal gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The public is divided on the job Obama is doing on gun policy, with 46% approving and 49% disapproving, but only 6% said it was the most important issue facing the nation. The new poll was conducted Monday and Tuesday, prior to Wednesday's announcement by the president on new measures and proposals to curb gun violence.
Obama came into office four years ago with high expectations, and initially met them during his "honeymoon" period. In February, 2009, CNN polling indicated that three-quarters said that the new president was meeting or exceeding their expectations; only a quarter said he had fallen short. By the end of 2009, that was essentially a 50/50 split, and in 2010 and 2011, roughly six in ten said that Obama was falling short of their expectations.
Now, on the cusp of his second term, those figures are better for Obama - the number who say he has fallen short has dropped by 14 points since 2011, but nearly half still say he has not measured up to their initial hopes for his presidency. Four in ten say he has met expectations and 13% say he has exceeded them, for a total of 53% who give a positive rating to Obama's first term.
"The crosstabs show that the coalition which helped Obama win a second term is still behind him," Holland notes. "The number of people who say that he has met or exceeded their expectations is highest among women, younger Americans, and minority groups. Regionally, he gets his best marks in the Northeast."
The poll was conducted for CNN by ORC International on Jan. 14-15, with 814 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
- CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report
If Obama is white, he would have accomplished much more for the well being of American people. Those white male and some female American and GOP congress just do not like him because of his skin color
Obama may be thought of by his followers as being "all that" he often speaks eloquently with a gifted silver tounge but, in reality is just like his master Satan,the "father of all lies..."
This must be the piece du jour for Fight Fridays at CNN, typified by a "poltical" story that inevitably whips the "rabble" up into a frenzy affording the moderators a chance to go to the vending machines and get some popcorn so they can sit back for a few hours and "watch" us tear each other into shreds.
If I could take my vote for him back, I would in a heartbeat!
...Or maybe it is the Christie story. Hard to tell.
klwlsepp thinks people dislike Obama because of his skin color and DK thinks Obama is the son of Satan. There is a flavor of crazy for every taste, isn't there?
Obama may be thought of by his followers as being "all that" he often speaks eloquently with a gifted silver tounge but, in reality is just like his master Satan,the "father of all lies..."
Okay, now does that mean that he is no longer the Messiah?
Dominican mama 4 Obama
My sentiments exactly.
obama, the joke-in-chief!! THE GREATEST weapon of mass distraction!!
Transparency? Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the delay in the arrest of Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta, Muslin Brotherhood, Obama no longer promises to "heal the Earth and stop the rise of the oceans." Obama administration delayed the resignation of General Petraeus until after the election to avoid embarrassment. Medicare cuts delayed until after the election. I guess you need more.
I would say that if anyone is going to label someone the "father of all lies" one had better look to Bush who lied about "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, thus starting a war that was not needed and many many American soldiers died because of that lie. Given the mess that Bush left to Obama, I would say he has done very well and I rate him as a very good president. I am an ex republican and will never be a republican again, I can no longer support this republican party that stands in the way of progress.
@Dominican mama 4 Obama I couldn't agree more. Though I respect the challenges Obama is facing I do not wish to participate in another Left Vs Right royal rumble.
"More than half of all Americans say that President Obama has met or exceeded their expectations of how he would handle his job, but according to a new national survey, that represents a steep drop-off compared to the start of his first term."
I expected him to screw up the country I love and damned if he didn't deliver.
"If I could take my vote for him back, I would in a heartbeat!"
Well, there you go ... a day late and a dollar short, yes? I'm curious though. Which election vote are you wishing to take back. The 2008 or the 2012 vote?
Well well he did the same as our first president in 1781 save our country as the do nothing... ran from their responabilty. Bless.
kate your liberal mind has been misinformed. as a former spec ops who worked in middle east.. saddam had long history of lying and he is the one who played the chess games of pretending to still have WMD, especially since we sold it to him in the early days and clinton bombed a factory in sudan where saddam inner circle met to build/buy more.
so get your facts straight please
Obama is obama an hes being a good job in what he does, what about all them white president before obama is that all that.The white president before obama got in the white house they didnt do nothing, but made the rich richer an the poor poorer. An them white president stuck together with all the white house leaders.
Yes he is all that! I love President Obama.
First of all, President Obama never said he's "All that". That's what the writer said to catch attention for his article. Its called journalism.
Congratulations to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and their brave wives. God bless America and our prayers for all our leaders.
@ greg and Lynda Minnesota:
"Royal Rumble". We must remember that phrase as I'm sure we'll get a chance to use it next Friday.
A safe and happy weekend to you both, indeed, to everyone.

Where have the Gourmet readers gone?
A story in today's New York Times suggests that former subscribers to the now-defunct Gourmet Magazine may have found solace in their kitchens — and not in other magazines. (Click here to read it.)
While some imagined these readers would be absorbed by Bon Appetit, and others imagined they'd flock to titles like Saveur, the picture is not so clear-cut.
The advertising picture is equally murky. Ads at Saveur are up, but that jump may not be related; experts say the two titles shared very few advertisers in the first place.
Industry-wide, it appears that the food magazines are digging in — especially those like Taste of Home and Cooking Light that focus on everyday cooking. And the breakout of the year may just be Food Network Magazine.

The hardest journey is the one which leads to the truth. I didn't know that when I began my little midnight ramble. If I had, I probably would've stayed home, drank myself stupid and watched Ferguson until the big nod closed my book for the day. But there I was, standing outside her house, looking up at her bedroom window while a cold rain whipped me in the face like I'd somehow pissed it off. I could see her kissing him. I could see her as she slowly descended beneath the window frame. I could see him too. He just stood there smiling, like the canary who got eaten by the cat. But then a funny thing happened while I was dancing the voyeuristic bebop in my terribly trendy, bright-green plastic shoes. I found myself thinking that the aching loneliness I was feeling had its roots in something much deeper than being eighty-sixed to a one bedroom efficiency in the marina by a dame who digs deep into the degrading bang-bang in order to make up for an emotionally distant father. No, this was the pain of existential separateness. The false sense that one is fundamentally apart from people, things, life, the whole damn universe. In a blinding flash I realized that what I was really experiencing was the result of a life-long indoctrination by a culture which elevates individualism above all else, thus causing a soul-crushing sense of aloneness which demands over and under the counter medication, the constant distraction of sporting events, TV, major motion pictures and a pop-tabloid religion based on celebrity worship/crucifixion. Of course this epiphany did not deter me from pulling the roscoe out of my fanny pack and going into the house to TC of B. As I crossed up the stairs I could feel my wet tube socks squishing through the little round holes of my polyurethane crocs.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Jonah Lehrer — the former New Yorker scribe caught inventing Bob Dylan quotes, plagiarizing press releases, and recycling his own copy — is in trouble again. Less than three weeks after Lehrer offered a flawed but seemingly sincere mea culpa at the Knight Foundation in Miami, the publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has begun pulling Lehrer's 2010 book about the cognitive underpinnings of decision-making, How We Decide. According to journalist Michael C. Moynihan, whose report for Tablet in July prompted Lehrer to resign from The New Yorker, the publisher uncovered "significant" (but unspecified) issues during an internal audit of the text. Moynihan convincingly speculates, however, that Harcourt pulled Lehrer's book because in it Lehrer appears to invent an interview with a pilot, putting in his mouth words that the same pilot gave at a lecture in 1991.
It gets weirder. Moynihan reported this particular invention six months ago, in August 2012, in a note he published on Twitter. It's a bit baffling, then, why Harcourt dawdled in investigating Jonah Lehrer's work, and waited until after Lehrer declared that he was done lying about his array of journalistic sins. But apparently Lehrer believed he had done no wrong in How We Decide, even after he flayed himself at the Knight Foundation. Per Moynihan:
Even after the Dylan fiasco, after Imagine had been pulped, and after he publicly declared that the "lies were over now," Lehrer told me via email that he had indeed interviewed Hayes—providing an email thread of their initial communication—and that the pilot had said the exact same thing, in the exact same language, to him twenty years later.
If you want to check the passage in question out for yourself, head over to The Daily Beast — or buy a copy of the book on Amazon before it gets Harcourt's memo. Right now, it seems like Lehrer could use the money.

The intramural program at The College of Wooster is designed to offer a number of popular sports and activities for students, faculty, and staff. The accent is on participation. More specifically, the program provides an outlet for athletic interests, which are not satisfied by participation in either physical education courses or varsity athletics. Individuals with interests that extend beyond physical education courses may be attracted to intramurals because they do not have the time, skill, or inclination to pursue these skills at the varsity level. Those individuals involved in a particular varsity sport may look to the intramural program as a venue of socialization and fellowship in athletic activities beyond their varsity participation.
The intramural program at Wooster seeks to provide an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to be involved in organized physical activity and positive use of leisure time. A variety of activities are provided for members of The College of Wooster community. The intramural program provides both competitive and recreational alternatives. Opportunities for individuals to compete with others of their own ability, to cooperate with others in athletic participation, to socialize, and to improve participant's health and physical fitness are each important components of the intramural program.

My new CD, "Hightailin'", will be released in 2014. This is all solo fingerstyle and percussive fingerstyle steel string guitar music. If you like Andy Mckee, Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins and Leo Kottke, you're going to like this one. The recording was done at Aqua Sounds Studio on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands and the sound quality is wonderful. All of the tracks were done on guitars that I personally designed and built. I hope you dig it!
Other Releases
I had the distinct privilege of being asked to play on this reggae CD. It is various artists from the Virgin Islands and Jamaica and was released in May, 2013 on I Grade Records. Definitely check it out.
Dick's Garage / Crucian Life
Check out St. Croix's own, Dick's Garage. Had a great time at a late night studio session with these guys tracking some rock guitar parts.
I finished designing and building a new model acoustic steel string guitar, which I am dubbing my SJ (Small Jumbo) model. It has a smaller lower bout but is deeper than my JOM model. This prototype is made out of Curly Koa for the back and sides, Western Red Cedar top and Curly Koa bindings. I am very pleased with the way it sounds and how comfortable it is to play. My thanks to Gordon Pritchard for his help.
Sometimes, out of the blue, I receive emails from complete strangers that are so uplifting and positive. They humble me and remind me of the the impact music can have on others. Thank You.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $30,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, but says he didn't kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on purpose.
That's why Suh insisted he doesn't need to apologize to Schaub.
Suh spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since his left cleat connected with Schaub's groin area in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday.
Suh dodged another suspension from the league, which has fined him instead for his latest questionable move on the field.
His reputation, though, has taken another hit.
The NFL suspended Suh for two games last season after he stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith in a Thanksgiving game. Suh said he was sorry to Dietrich-Smith.

Sierra Nevada Corporation's Space Systems engines propel second piloted flight of SpaceShipTwo
Virgin Galactic had its second successful piloted test flight of SpaceShipTwo (SS2) Thursday at Mojave Air and Space Port in California, powered by rocket engines from Louisville-based Sierra Nevada Corporation's (SNC) Space Systems.
SNC's hybrid rocket technology is the largest hybrid ever used for space vehicle propulsion, previously propelling SpaceShipOne.
Thursday's test flight began aboard a carrier aircraft until it reached an altitude of 46,000 feet. At this time the SS2 pilots fired the ignition, gaining altitude up to 69,000 feet, reaching Mach 1.4 in 20 seconds — breaking the sound barrier.
The test flight went as planned. SNC's rocket engine also powered SS2 on its inaugural flight in April.
"Today's test has once again proven the safety and reliability of our hybrid rocket engine technology," said Mark Sirangelo, corporate vice president and head of SNC's Space Systems, in a news release.
The technology used to power SS2 will also be used on Sierra Nevada's high-profile Dream Chaser program, which is a horizontal launch vehicle designed for manned, low-earth orbit.
"We have now supported two successful crewed flight tests for Virgin Galactic and look forward to continuing to improve this technology, not only for SS2 but also for our own Dream Chaser spacecraf," Sirangelo said. "SNC is proud to be the leader in the design and development of these safe, non-toxic hybrid propulsion systems that will transport people to suborbital and orbital destinations."

Trend-spotters alert: Three pretty amazing shows of drawings -- and two of paintings -- are now on view in Minneapolis galleries.
That isn't enough to call a trend, but it's a definite sign of something in the air. After seasons dominated by photo shows and sprawling installations, there's something refreshing about exquisitely finished pencil sketches and bold paintings, both figurative and abstract.
Soo Visual Arts Center
Contemporary fashion magazines often revel in misery. Gorgeous, lanky blondes gaze sullenly from glossy pages, their anxious eyes betraying fear and doubt behind their hauteur. These are the haunted creatures Serena Cole unmasks in nine drawings and watercolors in "Through a Glass, Darkly."
Cole has an exquisite hand with a colored pencil, conveying in precise lines and delicate tones the beauty and distress of her mostly female subjects. They float, apparently drowned and abandoned, in dark water or gaze from black mirrors, their features ever so slightly out of whack, with reddened eyes, too-small mouths, oversized noses. In her beautiful nightmares, surreal lovelies sport skull earrings, guns and tiaras as they run through flaming landscapes buoyed by clouds of beads and flowers. Her bleak assessment of the destructive undercurrent in the beauty myth is enhanced by a vast collage of her source material, all high-fashion photos tinged with decadence and decay.
Clever sketches by three other artists fill SooVAC's secondary gallery. Brian David Downs mashes together centuries of incongruous images -- John the Baptist's head(s), dapper dancers, Assyrian sculpture, Egyptian gods and grocery carts. Jason and Jesse Pearson, twins who also call themselves Dick and Wayne, have produced watercolors marked by gay jokes, fey insults and kitschy psychedelia.
Through Oct. 20. Free. 2638 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls. 612-871-2263 or www.soovac.org.
Burnet Gallery
Even under the closest scrutiny, the crumpled movie posters look like photos in Christina Empedocles' hyper-realistic pencil drawings. The San Francisco artist spends weeks -- even months -- creating her illusions, which include a scrap of a Brenda Starr cartoon taped to a slab of wood, a crumpled Alfred Hitchcock film poster, a discarded love note and bird illustrations. Her enthusiasm for pop culture detritus goes hand in hand with very impressive Old Master skill.
By comparison, the fantasy landscapes of Minneapolis artist Pamela Valfer seem wan and underdeveloped. Like Mark Tansey, who has injected little portraits of philosophers into Grand Canyon landscapes, Valfer's "Landscape Simulations" combine facts and fantasy. She sticks a "Star Wars" hut on an Irish plateau, plops a Weimar-era German building onto the banks of Ohio's Cuyahoga River and drops Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie into a Yorkshire gulch. The concepts are potentially engaging, but the execution is unpersuasive, her lines too tentative and forms undifferentiated.
Through Nov. 11. Free. Le Meridien Chambers Hotel, 901 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. 612-767-6900 or www.burnetgallery.com.
Groveland Gallery and Annex
A consummate draftsman, Michael Kareken heads to an auto salvage yard for a show that could well be called "Death in the Afternoon," as it features cars crushed in accidents or abandoned in age. In 22 drawings and paintings, he records rusted engine blocks, stripped door panels, burned auto interiors and smashed windshields whose cracked glass sparkles and gleams in the midday sun.
Throughout, he deftly balances depiction and poetry by describing hoses, cables, springs and other innards accurately while letting paint streaks and drip add to their rough beauty. Mesmerizing colors in his cracked glass -- aqua, lime, lavender, yellow -- dazzle the eye even as the image conveys the heat and claustrophobia of a head-on crash. The show hits an emotional peak in the third gallery, where images of crushed windshields and deployed air bags hint at the dark fates of the cars' former owners.
In Groveland's Annex gallery, Colorado artist Jean Gumpper explores desert landscapes in a series of exquisitely beautiful and extraordinarily complex woodcuts. Known for her images of reeds and leaves reflected in water, she was challenged by a recent water-deprived residency in the Mojave Desert. Besides a lovely series of playing-card-sized images of cacti and flowers, she produced stunning prints suggesting the seasons and moods of a place marked by muted hues, bare twigs and dry grasses bent in winter winds.
Through Oct. 13. Free. 25 Groveland Terrace, Mpls. 612-377-7800 or www.grovelandgallery.com.
Gallery 13
Best known as a sculptor and arts writer, Duluth artist Ann Klefstad has turned 20 plywood panels -- each 8 feet tall -- and several steel sculptures of deer and wolves into a North Woods diorama. Hinged like folding screens, the panels are "painted" with tar, and feature images of life-sized deer in forest habitats. Her graceful sculptures, which she rightly compares to origami, are an appealing extension of the two-dimensional woods that surround them. Arranged like a theatrical set, the installation allows viewers to move into and around it as if onstage.
Through Oct. 14. Free. 811 LaSalle Av. S., Mpls. Artist's talk 2-4 p.m. Sat. Sept. 29. 651-592-5503 or www.gallery13.com.
Douglas Flanders & Associates
Doug Flanders and new gallery director Japeth A. Storlie have paired two Minnesota artists, quasi-realist painter Mary Lingen and abstract painter George Farrah. Autumnal colors dominate in an unfortunately overcrowded display. Lingren's attractive landscapes of woods and water are faceted as if designed for conversion into quilts or stained glass windows. Farrah's thickly pigmented canvases also hint at landscapes or geological features, albeit more obliquely as they shift from map-like aerial vistas to gestural abstractions with mere hints of branches or tree trunks.
Through Nov. 3. Free. 910 W. Lake St., Mpls.

Stars including Forest Whitaker, Lena Dunham, Shakira and Eva Longoria have paid tribute to beloved Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez following his death on Thursday.
The writer passed away at his home in Mexico City, Mexico at the age of 87 following a series of health battles, and his deathhas triggered an outpouring of grief among the showbiz community.
Many stars took to Twitter.com to share their favourite quotes from Marquez's work and tributes also came in from President Barack Obama, who said "The world has lost one of its greatest visionary writers – and one of my favourites from the time I was young."
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos referenced the writer's most famous work, One Hundred Years of Solitude, in a tribute posted on Twitter.com, writing, "One Hundred Years of Solitude and sadness for the death of the greatest Colombian of all time."
Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker shared a quote from Marquez in his own Twitter tribute, writing, "It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment – Gabriel Garcia Marquez – RIP, you will always exist in our hearts," while Girls star Lena Dunham adds, "I once made out with someone purely because I thought he might be related to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. What a beautiful writer – RIP."
Eva Longoria shared her favourite Marquez novel with fans, One Hundred Years Of Solitude, and added, "My heart hurts today with the loss of the great Gabriel García Márquez. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. RIP."
Other stars to pay tribute to the novelist include fellow Colombian Shakira, who wrote an open letter to the late author: "Dear Gabo, you once said that life isn't what one lived, but the life one remembers and how he remembers it to retell it… your life, dear Gabo, will be remembered by all of us as a unique and singular gift, and as the most original story of all. It's difficult to say goodbye to you, with all that you've given us! You will always be in my heart and in those of all who loved and admired you. Shak."
Actress Daryl Hannah, model Christy Turlington and musician Flea have also shared their condolences and memories of Marquez's work.

Warranty: 1 Million Mile Guarantee!
Million Mile Limited Warranty® and Consumer Protection Pledge
K&N warrants its street vehicle OE Replacement Air Filters for one
million miles. When used properly and found to be defective, return your
filter and the receipt from purchase and K&N will replace it free of
charge. K&N's Consumer Protection Plan goes one step further than its
Million Mile
Warranty. The performance aftermarket has, at times, been plagued by
car manufacturers and automotive dealers that may attempt to discourage
you from customizing your vehicle. They prefer you buy OE parts and not
modify your car or truck and have even been known to void their own
manufacturer's warranty due to vehicle modification. That sounds
un-American to us, which is why K&N and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (more
information here) protect consumers from such denied warranty
claims. When you buy an OE replacement K&N High-Flow Air Filter or
High-Flow Air Intake System you can be confident your vehicle's warranty
will remain in effect. If you experience a difficult dealership, K&N
will resolve the issue so you won't have to. The following summarizes
the K&N Consumer Protection Pledge:
K&N pledges to our customers that they will not be taken advantage of
and charged for a repair due to a dealership warranty denial blamed on
the presence of a K&N product
We believe
K&N makes The World's Best Air Filter and we stand behind that

Colorado Springs: man's jealous obsession for young woman reflected in poetry
Colorado Springs police officers drove up to an apartment at 6228 Twin Oaks Dr. on the night of Monday, March 31, 2008. They were looking for 22-year-old Bekime "Becky" Elshani.
Becky's father and friends had called 911 and said they hadn't seen or heard from her since Saturday morning, 2 1/2 days earlier. Her parents told police she was wearing a pink and white shirt, a black jacket and blue jeans.
Suddenly, as the police officers walked towards the apartment door, they heard a single gunshot.
The apartment was where Becky lived with her 25-year-old boyfriend, Daniel Dereere.
The story of Becky's and Daniel's volatile relationship has since been widely reported by newspaper and TV reporters. In writing the following account of the ongoing unsolved case, I relied upon their many reports as well as what I recall of the case after writing a few stories for The Denver Post at the time myself.
Elshani and Dereere met either in 2002 or 2003 while working at a telephone call center in Colorado Springs. They dated off and on through the years. Becky became involved with another man, briefly marrying him, during a period when Dereere moved to Detroit, The Gazette reported.
Daniel returned to Colorado Springs, and he and Becky moved in together in early 2007.
Daniel Dereere wrote poetry with a possessive tone. He posted his love missives and poetry for the world to see on his MySpace page:
"I have no doubt that we are meant to be together forever, you are everything to me and without you I would be lost in this crazy world."
A stanza of a poem he wrote, went: "He needs someone who's faithful, only his lips may she kiss."
When police entered the apartment of the 25-year-old man they weren't sure what they would find but there were ample past indications of a troubled relationship between the beautiful divorcee and the young man.
Accusations had become a matter of public record after the two lovers reported violent and vengeful confrontations between each other to the police.
In May of 2007, Colorado Springs police arrested Becky for assault and harassment after she allegedly punched Dereere in the face during a fight.

After an almost endless stream of teaser images in the lead up to this week's Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce has officially pulled the wraps of its new Wraith, four-seat, fastback coupe.
To use a classic Rolls-Royce phrase, power is 'adequate", thanks to a monstrous 465kW/800Nm V12 under the bonnet, feeding drive to the rear wheels via ZF 8-speed auto transmission.
The Wraith features retuned steering and a stiffer suspension than its four-door Ghost sibling, for a more driver-focussed experience.
Forward opening 'suicide' doors reveal a suitably opulent interior, including the (optional) Starlight headlining that debuted on the Phantom limousine.

I'm making a trigonometry application with the different formulas for each shapes and such. What I wanted to know is: is there any way to make a boolean and access a specific class if this boolean is true?
Since I'm making Degree and Radian sub-classes, I needed to make it so when the boolean isInDegrees is true, it accesses Degree class, and the inverse if isInRadian is true.
