Museums tend to be the monopoly of adults. However, if you're travelling to Indianapolis with little ones then be sure to take them to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. The largest children's museum in the world, it offers a huge range of interactive exhibits, including a planetarium and a Dinosphere. If your children are more interested in natural history, the Indianapolis Zoo is a great way to spend a day and younger visitors can enjoy a variety of encounters, including the opportunity to touch a shark.
If you've a sports fan in your number, then be sure to set aside some time to watch a game of American Football at the Lucas Oil Stadium where you can see the Indianapolis Colts. Even if you're visiting off-season, there are tours of the 63,000-seater stadium, giving you the opportunity to see behind the scenes. During the winter and spring, you can watch the Indiana Pacers play in the National Basketball League at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Leisure activities
Indiana Avenue is an important cultural attraction in the city and makes for a fascinating walk. Along the avenue, you'll find a number of artistic and cultural exhibitions, celebrating Indy's strong African-American culture. Look out for the Walker Theatre, the Stutz Art Gallery and a unique art installation, known as Jammin' on the Alley. This is a collage created from brass instruments, including trumpets, trombones and saxophones.
The Indiana Repertory Theatre could well be a highlight on your trip to Indianapolis. Situated in a beautiful, historic building, you'll get the chance to see some of the biggest Broadway shows, alongside American classics and spectacular musicals. Alternatively, the Phoenix Theatre offers smaller productions, in more intimate surroundings, allowing you to see some of the USA's rising stars at close quarters.
If you prefer your cultural experiences to be a little more sedate, the Indianapolis Museum of Art houses an extensive collection of modern works, alongside African and fine art. In addition, you'll find beautiful gardens to enjoy and various artistic activities you can take part in.
If you decided to travel to Indianapolis in search of great food then you won't be disappointed. Most restaurants are located in the downtown area and you can enjoy fast food and fine-dining experiences from virtually every corner of the globe.
However, if you want to eat like the locals do, then hunt out diners or restaurants that serve dishes such as corn on the cob, which the locals consider to be the best in the world. Indiana is right in the heart of the American Midwest, so be sure to try the popular dish of steak and potatoes if you're hungry.
Given the city's proximity to the sea, fresh seafood is available in abundance. Look out for oyster stew and scalloped oysters, which are a local favourite. However, if you have a sweet tooth then Persimmon Pie is a traditional dessert, often served with ice-cream or whipped cream.
A shopping trip to Indianapolis is an eclectic and exciting experience. You'll find everything from sprawling malls bursting with high-end and designer goods to bustling markets and a huge number of antique shops.
If you'd rather hunt out some unique curios and hand-crafted goods then visit areas such as Mass Avenue, Fountain Square and Castleton Square Mall.

Hot off the presses from online sportsbook Bovada, each country's odds to win the 2014 World Cup, both before and after today's draw.
It reads about how you'd expect, with teams in the presumptive easier groups (like France and Russia in the E and H cakewalks) seeing their odds shorten significantly. Conversely, the odds for teams like England, the Netherlands, and Italy generally got longer for being in the tough groups.
The most interesting of all might be the movement on teams in Group G, one of the strongest groups. Three of the four countries—Germany, Portugal, and Ghana—saw their odds get longer. The USMNT's stayed the same.

I need a formula for maximum number of hyperedges that a directed hypergraph with n vertices can have. Following point is an unresolved issues for me and it keeps coming back to my mind:
- There are different definitions for hyperedges in directed hypergraphs (e.g. some say a hyperedge e = (T(e), H(e)) in which T(e) and H(e) cannot be empty set, some say they H(e) can be empty set). Is there a standart definition I'm missing?

Ever since I installed Lion on my late 2009 MacBook Pro, it crashes several times a day randomly during some operation (open an application, browse the net, add photos, etc.).
I read the answer about updating Show Crash Prefs in System Preferences and tried to do it, but it doesn't work.
I updated Info.plist file with text editor exactly as in the answer, but the Finder still doesn't give the option of selecting new Show Crash Prefs?
Am I missing something?

My wife is sweet and polite, she is proper and feminine.
She is also a good shot.
Last week in Vermont, I shot a handgun for the first time in my life. Guns scare me but my father-in-law is an expert teacher, calm, cautious, and encouraging.
I kept thinking of Lorraine Bracco in "Good Fellas" when she said, "I gotta admit the truth. It turned me on."

Web Series To Explore The Impact Of The Internet On Heavy Metal
from the beyond-metallica dept
One thing I've always found especially fascinating about the topic of digital technology and its impact on creative industries is the way different artistic communities react. In music, this often plays out along genre lines: the hip-hop community, for example, has a very different view of internet and copyright issues than the classical music community. Thus it's always interesting to hear genre-specific opinions on these topics, where broad debates get replicated in microcosm, and interesting parallels appear.
So I'm looking forward to a new five-part web series called On The Record from the heavy metal website Metal Injection (found through the Metalluminati blog). Among the handful of topics the episodes will explore is the question of how the internet has affected heavy metal, and based on the trailer it looks like this will feature heavily in the series:
The reactions from artists and journalists—or at least the ones highlighted there—are broadly positive, and will be familiar to Techdirt readers. The heavy metal world is an interesting venue for this conversation, since for many people the genre is best-known through Metallica, its pop ambassadors, who are famous for suing Napster and being one of the first bands to take a vocal anti-filesharing stance. It's hardly surprising that their views aren't representative of the broader metal world, but as someone who knows very little about that community, I look forward to hearing from its more progressive members.

10 Tips to Guide your Tutor Search in Mars Hill, NC
As with any other job position, finding a tutor is sometimes a difficult and frustrating process. Parents and students can find many tutors around their community and in town that seem to fit the bill, and even more online. But with so many options, how does anyone choose? Where do you even start?
How do you know which tutors bring what you need regarding technical knowledge, or qualifications? And if they do, will they also be patient, compatible with your learning style, and creative in their delivery?
The questions may seem endless, and the answers few, and obscure. So, here are ten tips to help guide even the least experienced hunter on their tutor search.
1. Identify your Need
As with any issue, the first step is not to solve the problem, but to identify and understand it. Tutors serve a number of different needs, and can bring different benefits to the table. But this depends entirely on you.
Do you need someone with experience in a broad range of subjects, or who has in-depth knowledge in a particular area? Do they need to tutor all day, a few hours per day, or once per week?
Once you identify the need and the problem that requires a solution, then it's easier to move forward. You can better articulate that need to a tutor, and the tutor can understand your goals.
2. Convince the Student
In most instances with children, the idea of finding a tutor did not originate with the student. But for tutoring to work, all parties need to remain involved and committed. A student who does not see the purpose of a tutor and has no appreciation for one, may not do any better than he usually does, no matter how excellent the tutor. Learning is a two-way street.
If you are the student in need of tutoring, then you should also mentally prepare yourself for working with someone else. The older we get, the more embarrassing it often is to go to someone else for help with tasks we are entrusted to accomplish – such as our own education. Prepare yourself to show openness, commitment, and complete honesty with your tutor regarding where you are now and where you mean to go.
3. Set Goals
Rather than wander blindly into a tutor search, to learn from a tutor, parents and students should set goals. What do you hope to achieve by the end of the year, based on the needs and problems originally identified? If you are failing math, is your goal to pass, or to become an A student?
As in any other aspect of business and education, goals should be SMART. This means that you must ensure the goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. If it is a child who needs tutoring, then parents should not set these goals on their own. They should enlist the help of the child to ensure their agreement and commitment to the goals.
4. Determine your Learning Style
The seven types of learning styles include visual, aural, verbal, logical, physical, social, and solitary. Most people can learn in a combination of ways, but we all learn in one way more than others.
For instance, visual learners are usually also physical learners; likewise, verbal and aural learning is often intertwined. Once you figure out how you or your child learns, you can find a tutor with a compatible teaching style.
The seven learning styles are described below.
Visual Learners. Visual learners grasp knowledge best when explained or illustrated in pictures, and diagrams.
Aural or Auditory. These students learn best by hearing. This mostly refers to music, but may also include listening to class recordings or books, rather than reading textbooks and notes.
Verbal. Verbal learners are most deeply affected by words, and learn best through reading and writing.
Physical. These learners make the most of their physical environment through the use of their senses. They must touch and act or do, to fully understand. People who work with their hands fit best into this category.
Logical. Logical learners prefer to puzzle through information rather than have it handed to them. They are best at reasoning, abstract concepts, and looking at the bigger picture.
Social. Social learners need to learn within groups, and may have difficulty learning outside of a classroom or study group.
Solitary. These students learn best on their own through self-study.
5. Check with a School
The best place to begin a tutor search is in Mars Hill, NC with a nearby school. Even if the school does not provide tutor services, it usually knows someone who does. Teachers may freelance as private tutors to make extra money, and the school will usually provide referrals to those teachers.
Outside of teachers, many gifted students also tutor. This can prove a more attractive option than hiring older and more experienced tutors. Other students usually know how to relate information to people in their age range.
6. Check Online
Even if you are not looking for a virtual tutor, the best place to continue your tutor search is online. A quick search pulls up many local tutoring agencies and freelancers looking to take on new students. This provides parents and students with many choices and opportunities.
Remember to shop around before making a decision, as price does not always justify the tutor. Some tutors have merely worked with higher paying clientele in the past, or in a particular field, which commands a higher price.
7. Interview Tutors in Mars Hill, NC
Before hiring a tutor, interview them as a recruiting manager would for any other job. Parents or students should first begin with a phone interview, and if the tutoring will not be virtual, then a physical interview is also advised.
Here are some questions parents or students can pose to potential tutors during the interview.
1. How many years have you tutored, and how many students have you worked with?
2. Do you have any teaching degrees or certifications?
3. What has your success rate with students been so far?
4. How did you deal with instances where students did not perform as well as you hoped?
5. What academic qualifications have you achieved in the subject(s) you tutor?
6. How would you describe your teaching style?
7. What kind of materials do you use to enhance the learning experience?
8. What is your availability?
9. Where would you like to meet for the in-person interview and sessions, going forward?
10. How do you measure progress?
8. Trial Basis
Wise companies keep employees on probation for a few months before committing to keeping them. A wise person would do the same with a tutor. Offer a trial basis with the tutor before committing. What looks good on paper, or even for a moment in person, does not always work out in the long run. Remain open to this possibility.
Always offer to pay for the trial sessions, or tutors may prefer to work with someone who does. The absolute best tutors are in high demand and have no need or time to put in hours of free labor to see if they land a job. Free labor may also not inspire a tutor to put their best foot forward and prioritize your needs when there are paying clients waiting.
9. You get what you Pay For
One of the main deciding factors dictating whether to hire a tutor and who to hire, is the cost. The cost of a tutor can vary from nothing at all to $450 per hour. There are also very cheap tutors that charge as low as $6 per hour, and others may charge a flat rate per class, month, or week.
Keep in mind that the regular rate for a tutor is roughly $25 per hour, as this usually amounts to overtime work for most, and the pay is the incentive. However, those who tutor full-time may also charge roughly $15 per hour or so.
Anything below this may not be worth saving the money. Great tutors are in demand, and in-demand tutors value their time far above minimum wage. Free tutors, on the other hand, may work with organizations as part of a community effort to give back on a volunteer basis, and are worth considering. Organizations would not want to risk their reputation, and usually, ensure tutors are experts in their field.
10. Be Decisive
After shopping around, and with all the options on hand, it can be hard to settle on just one tutor. It may also prove tempting to put tutors in a bit of bidding war to lower the price. However, the longer you dilly dally over choosing a tutor, the more time ticks by, and the fewer opportunities students have to turn things around.
Don't get swallowed up in the many offers, the ads, and the price-wars. Choose a tutor based on quality and what you can afford, and move forward with your decision. Better grades are waiting.

Tracing its origins back to 1875, this modern, innovative and forward-thinking university has a large, self-contained campus in the city centre, with many purpose built facilities making it one of the best learning environments in the UK.
Courses and specialisms
The university has three academic schools:
Glasgow Caledonian University is the only institution in Scotland to offer courses in orthoptics, optometry and ophthalmic dispensing management. The university has its own eye clinic providing clinical training facilities. The clinic is open to the public, and patients are examined by students under the direct supervision of experienced and qualified clinical staff.
The university has 1,600 staff teaching over 20,000 students from over 100 countries. According to HESA, 95.5% of students from the 2016/17 academic year went into employment or further study within six months of graduating.
You could spend part of your undergraduate course abroad through the European Erasmus+ programme or on exchange with a university in North or South America, Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia or Vietnam.
Facilities and services
The hub of the city centre campus is the Saltire Centre, which is home to the university library, the Base student support desk and over 1,200 study spaces and 350 computers. It also hosts a learning cybercafe which contains sofas, study desks and computer workstations for students.
The Arc is the modern health and fitness centre which has fitness classes, a well equipped gym, sports clubs and a hair salon and spa.

"A waste of public cash" is how the British Taxpayer's Alliance referred to Facebook, responding to a Portsmouth City Council finding that its 4,500 employees spent, on average, about five minutes on the site each month.
Now the council is making a grab for those five minutes per month by adding Facebook to YouTube, Twitter, and eBay on a list of banned sites.
That would buck the current trend of encouraging government participation in social networking. Because so many citizens use the Internet to communicate, there's a growing movement among advocates of open-government to interact with citizens online.
U.S. & World
From the San Francisco Public Utilities Commmission all the way up to President Obama, government agencies are finding new ways to serve their constituents through social networking. Just last month, San Francisco annouced new public connections to government information.
And of course, shining a spotlight of transparency of government officials makes it easier to detect questionable public servants. Of course, that could be the very thing that the Portsmouth City Council is afraid of.

It's important that you take the time to have the deck designed properly.
We will put into consideration a variety of things, including how much space you have available for a deck design, what kind of deck furniture you plan to put on the deck itself, how you plan on using the deck, and what kind of weather your town has. For example, there are some wooden deck materials which aren't suitable in areas that have a lot of rain or in a spot in your yard which will have a lot of exposure to the sun. Learn more about our deck plans and deck designs.
Deck Designers in Woodstock, Georgia
Our deck designers know that you've likely seen poorly-built decks in your neighborhood in Woodstock, Georgia, or just when cruising around Woodstock. There are a lot of decks out there which weren't appropriately planned out and they clash with the rest of the home's architecture. However, this won't be an issue with our professional deck planners. We take the necessary time needed to thoroughly evaluate your home's backyard, the climate, your spending budget, your personal likes, and what you plan on using the deck for when it comes to planning this new home addition.
For example, if you plan on using your deck mostly in the spring and summer months for sunbathing, or for BBQing with friends, then you'll likely want our deck designers to have your deck facing the south or west since it'll get the most sun this way. However, if you want a deck where you can rest at the end of the day with a good book, then you'll want a deck which faces the north.
We offer a variety of deck building materials for homeowners to select from, including wood and vinyl. Both feature their advantages, and we will discuss them with you in greater detail during your consultation.

Here in Colorado we've enjoyed beautiful weather this week while people on the East Coast suffered through Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath. But the storm provides a timely reminder that we all need to stay prepared for emergencies.
Though it's likely Colorado will never face a hurricane, we get more than our share of blizzards, power outages, wildfires and floods.
Most people know they need to be prepared to get through a few days in an emergency, but how many of us have prepared the kits that the state's Office of Emergency Preparedness recommends?
At readycolorado.com people can learn to build kits to get them through three days at home or at work, as well as kits for the car.
It's important to have extra food, water and other supplies at home and at work in case access to such things is temporarily lost. People should have 3 gallons of water each to get through three days, along with shelf-stable foods (a list of suggestions is available online). Prescriptions, food for people with special needs, pet food, first aid supplies, flashlights and batteries, matches, a manual can opener, a water shut-off wrench and a shovel are among the other items to consider storing away.
A battery-powered radio can access information if power goes out. And if there is power available a cellphone charger will help people keep their phones ready to get information.
In some emergencies, like blizzards, people may be advised to stay put, while in others, like wildfires, they need to quickly flee. Having emergency supplies stored in a container can help keep them organized and portable, the state emergency preparedness staff advises.
Motorists also should keep food, water and other supplies in their vehicles in case they become stranded. Winter conditions can sometimes strand drivers, but those provisions, along with salt, sand, shovels, extra winter clothing, flares and jumper cables, can help them survive until help arrives.
Today, Coloradans watch from a distance as East Coast residents deal with the devastation Sandy brought, just as they watched as our state coped with a summer of fire.
Do what you can to help them with donations, but take some time to prepare to help yourself too, just in case.

Building on the work of the DPLA Steering Committee, the DPLA Board of Directors is leading the first concrete steps toward the realization of a large-scale digital public library that will make the cultural and scientific record available to all. The Digital Public Library of America planning initiative, launched in December 2010 with generous support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, grew out of an October 2010 meeting at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, which brought together over 40 representatives from foundations, research institutions, cultural organizations, government, and libraries to discuss best approaches to building a national digital library. That meeting resulted in a statement that serves as a jumping-off point for the initiative.
In March 2012, the Steering Committee drafted an updated Concept Note to describe the initiative, on which they seek comment. The original DPLA Concept Note was drafted in March 2011.

A number of substantive questions must be addressed in order to define a clear way forward for the DPLA. The primary activities of this project will take place under the following six workstreams in order to define consensus-driven next steps in each of these areas.
- Audience and Participation
- This workstream will collaborate with each of the other workstreams to ensure that decisions are being made that will best support the current and future needs of the broadest possible user group.
- Content and Scope
- This workstream will make recommendations for a collection development policy for the DPLA. One primary goal is to begin to identify and articulate the criteria for including materials in a proposed DPLA. This workstream will also confront questions regarding management of and access to distributed materials.
- Financial/Business Models
- This workstream will make recommendations for a sustainable business plan for the DPLA.
- Governance
- This workstream will make recommendations for a system of decision making and management for the DPLA.
- Legal Issues
- This workstream will make recommendations regarding how to approach and influence the legal and copyright environment in order to support equitable knowledge distribution in a digital world.
- Technical Aspects
- This workstream will explore the desired architecture for the DPLA and will make recommendations regarding technology to be used for its development and to build or facilitate building the discovery environment. This track will also examine the state of the art for digitizing books, video, audio, and other types of documents and determining how much it might cost to greatly increase the scope of current digitization efforts.
Public Discussion Listserv
We hope this list will help bring together publishers, authors, and interested parties from the educational community, public and research libraries, cultural organizations, state and local government, and private industry in an open dialogue regarding strategies for improving public access to comprehensive online resources.

Ecosystems are basically unaffected and adapt well to a warmer climate, according to a fresh study, published in the journal BioScience:
An analysis of 35 headwater basins in the United States and Canada found that the impact of warmer air temperatures on streamflow rates was less than expected in many locations, suggesting that some ecosystems may be resilient to certain aspects of climate change.
The study was just published in a special issue of the journal BioScience, in which the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) network of 26 sites around the country funded by the National Science Foundation is featured.
Lead author Julia Jones, an Oregon State University geoscientist, said that air temperatures increased significantly at 17 of the 19 sites that had 20- to 60-year climate records, but streamflow changes correlated with temperature changes in only seven of those study sites. In fact, water flow decreased only at sites with winter snow and ice, and there was less impact in warmer, more arid ecosystems.
"It appears that ecosystems may have some capacity for resilience and adapt to changing conditions," said Jones, a professor in OSU's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. "Various ecosystem processes may contribute to that resilience. In Pacific Northwest forests, for example, one hypothesis is that trees control the stomatal openings on their leaves and adjust their water use in response to the amount of water in the soil.
"So when presented with warmer and drier conditions, trees in the Pacific Northwest appear to use less water and therefore the impact on streamflow is reduced," she added. "In other parts of the country, forest regrowth after past logging and hurricanes thus far has a more definitive signal in streamflow reduction than have warming temperatures."
One can hear the alarm bells ringing in the cathedrals of climate change. The high priests are most certainly already preparing a counter attack in order to silence the heretics, who dare to say that doomsday is not coming.

I've installed Version 115 and the OCK Tool. Today after working on an outing, I decided to relax and go fish a bit. I opened RWFF, clicked on Cutch, then options. I cose experienced and when I click on the 800 x 600 game Rolution, my computer locked up and displayed an error. (I sent Paul the error report)
It did this everytime in Options when I tried to select from the Game or Native Resolution options.
I suspected either the Verion 115 or OCK Tool I downloaded. I have RWFF on my laptop so I downloaded these files and opened up RWFF. In the option Game and Native Resolution choices, my laptop froze up with the same error message as the PC.
I could use the options feature on both computers before I installed these 2 files.
Would you folks who have downloaded these files, try this and see if your computers lock up? (I'm only guessing one of these or both are causing the problem) Thanks.

I keep reading and hearing about the right's latest round of obsessive drooling over one of the most evil figures in US History, Ronald Reagan.
When I think of Ronald Reagan, I think of all the people who died because of his AIDS policies. Some of those people were people I knew.
Reagan should have been prosecuted for mass murder and genocide. He deserved to die in a prison hospital for his crimes in universal condemnation. Praising Ronald Reagan is the moral equivalent of tattooing a swastika to one's forehead. There's just no excuse for it.
The Right's Offensive Drooling Over Ronald Reagan
I keep reading and hearing about the right's latest round of obsessive drooling over one of the most evil figures in US History, Ronald Reagan.

As Reagan said during his testimony at the Iran-Contra trial of one of his underling perpetraitors: "It's like I wasn't president at all!".
If only we were that lucky, Ronnie, if only we were that lucky.
Christopher Says:
Saint Reagan was a sickening piece of shit. A truly despicable man who cared little for this country or his family.
I still want Witchcraft Nancy to repay the U.S. Treasury the monies she robbed from us to pay for the services of her psychic, the late Joan Quigley.
Dave Dubya Says:
I was going to say something about Reagan, but, "I can't recall" what it was...
Ahab Says:
I do wonder if those lionizing Reagan today have researched his policies during his presidency.
Anonymous Says:
His legacy lived on as his trickle down garbage included spawning the Bushes as presidents. Thanks for the 3 crippling recessions, you miserable **&^%!'rds

According to Engadget, the elusive 3rd generation iPod touch has been caught on video. The culprit: Flickr user covinoandrich whose iPhone 3GS shot the entire shaky video! Perfectly timed, it is one of the best tease rumour tie-ins I have yet seen, catching Apple's pre-launch preparations in full stride. What is especially especial about this video is that its source is an American, not a Chinese manufacturer or factory worker.
So, is this tremulous video, an account of the actual next iPod touch? Or, is it just a nice hack job put together to trick audiences? I am for the former, and the latter. The reason(s)? Why a mutilated iPod? If it was real, it would be oh so much more news worthy if the device was in use rather than being tossed about half-dissected. As it is, it looks like the remains of the hacking job. Also, if the unit is a prototype, how in the hell have scratches already appeared on the unit? It took mine a half-year to develop its first signs of ageing. Then again, I keep it in an iPod Sock. On the other hand, it coincides with earlier rumours spread from Chinese case manufacturers which place the camera in the top centre.

gray langur.
The taxonomy of the gray langur is debated, and until recently, all gray langurs
were subsumed under one species, S. entellus, or included as subspecies
of S. entellus (Bennett & Davies 1994; Groves 2005). In some cases
the species is still considered monotypic with different populations separated
out subspecifically. Groves (2005) recognizes 7 species and his taxonomy is
followed herein.
The gray langur is sometimes referred to as the Hanuman langur, named after the
monkey-god Hanuman. As such, gray langurs are considered sacred in the Hindu
religion (Roonwal & Mohnot 1977).
In general, gray langurs are large monkeys but vary greatly in body size
between species and location (Roonwal & Mohnot 1977; Bennett & Davies
1994). A rough gradient of decreasing size and mass exists as one moves further
south in the gray langur distribution (Roonwal 1981; Napier 1985; Ray 2000). In
addition, there is variation in the degree of sexual dimorphism, with some
species showing profoundly larger males than females, while others show only
nominal differences (Groves 2001). The overall body color of all species is
grayish with a black face and ears, and a tail that is always longer than the
body (Roonwal & Mohnot 1977; Roonwal 1981; Groves 2001). Northern and
southern populations of gray langur differ in their method of carrying their
tail, with northern populations carrying their tail pointed forward, while
southern populations do so with the tail pointed backwards (Roonwal 1979;
Roonwal et al. 1984). The dividing line between the two populations is roughly
along a line across the Indian peninsula (Roonwal et al. 1984).
S. ajax is very large in body size. It has a yellowish-white
coloration, especially on the ventrum and some brown on the dorsum and limbs
with the forelimbs darkest (Groves 2001; Brandon-Jones 2004). S.
dussumieri is one of the smaller gray langurs and is gray-brown or mauve
with a yellowish ventrum and is one of the smaller gray langurs. The upper
hindquarters are whitish and the head is creamy colored. The fingers and toes
are black and sometimes the extremities and forearms are also. Overall, S.
entellus has a reddish or orangish tinge, with yellow sides and a brownish
or gray-brown back (Groves 2001; Brandon-Jones 2004). Body size is around
average for the gray langurs (Brandon-Jones 2004). The belly is red-gold
(Groves 2001). S. hector has a white head and is overall grayish
yellow, yellowish-white, or pale orange with brownish limbs, a grayish-brown
back and a whitish ventrum with pale paws (Groves 2001; Brandon-Jones 2004).
S. hypoleucos is a mid-sized gray langur and is purplish-brown with
black limbs and an orangish belly. In addition, the body hair is longer than
that on the limbs, and the tail is black (Groves 2001). S. priam is
pale brown-gray, with a whitish head and a creamy yellow ventrum (Groves 2001;
Brandon-Jones 2004). The body is mid-sized for a gray langur (Brandon-Jones
2004). The hands and feet are lighter than the body, the tail has a white end
and the feet are sometimes almost white (Groves 2001). S. schistaceus
are mid-sized gray langurs that dark brownish with a whitish head, ventrum,
upper hindquarters, and tip of the tail. Further, they have a larger body size
than others among the gray langurs (Groves 2001).
The combined head and body lengths of both sexes of S. schistaceous average
68.9 cm (27.1 in) but females are typically somewhat smaller than males. Males
average 17.7 kg (39.0 lb) and females average 15.8 kg (34.8 lb) (Roonwal 1979).
S. ajax with both sexes have a combined head and body length that
averages 67.1 cm (26.4 in) and weigh on average 17.7 kg (39.0 lb). S.
entellus average 63.9 cm (25.2 in) and weigh an average of 12.5 kg (27.6
lb). The head and body length of S. priam averages 61.1 cm (24.1 in)
and average 12.8 kg (28.2 lb) (Roonwal 1981).
Gray langurs move primarily in a quadrupedal fashion both terrestrially and
arboreally, about half of the time in each mode (Ripley 1967; Sugiyama 1976;
Vogel 1977). Running is preferred to walking, both on the ground and in the
trees, although both are seen. Other forms of locomotion include bipedal hops,
climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaping (Ripley
1967; Dunbar & Badam 1998). Horizontal leaps may be 3.7-4.6 m (12.0-15.0
ft), while descending leaps may be up to 10.7-12.2 m (35-40 ft) (Ripley 1967).
Further, when moving terrestrially at a medium speed, gray langurs will
sometimes intermittently walk then run several steps, each in an irregular
pattern (Grand 1976). Gray langurs have been seen swimming after accidentally
falling into water (Agoramoorthy 1986).
In captivity, gray langurs can live into their early thirties, and in the
wild males may live past 18 years old and females past 30 (Borries et al. 1991;
P. Dolhinow pers comm. cited in Sommer et al. 1992; Rajpurohit et al. 1995;
Weigl 2005). In captivity, females can be reproductively active well into their
late 20s (P. Dolhinow pers comm. cited in Sommer et al. 1992).
Among the colobines, gray langurs have the widest distribution, found in
Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan; ranging from north India
in Kashmir and the Himalayas in Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet south to Sri Lanka,
east to Bangladesh and west to the Indus valley in Pakistan (literature reviewed
in Roonwal & Mohnot 1977; Rajpurohit 1992; Wang et al. 1999; literature
reviewed in Ray 2000; Groves 2001; Brandon-Jones et al. 2004; Choudhury 2008).
Gray langurs may exist in Afghanistan as well (Brandon-Jones 2004).
Among the species, S. ajax is found between the Himalayas in
northern India and Pakistan. S. dussumieri is found throughout
west-central and southwestern India. S. entellus ranges between
lowland Pakistan in the west and the Godavari and Krishna Rivers in central
India and north to the Ganges River. S. hector ranges from northern
India in Kumaun near the western border of Nepal to Katmandu in central Nepal,
restricted to the Himalayan foothills. S. hypoleucos is only found in
the Kerala coastal region of southwestern India. S. priam is found on
the island of Sri Lanka as well as on the mainland of southeastern India.
Finally, S. schistaceus ranges in the Himalayas from central Nepal to
Tibet near Mount Everest to areas of China near northwest Bhutan (Groves
Gray langurs are flexible in their habitat choice and, correspondingly, are
found in a large range of habitat types and environments (Sugiyama 1976;
Oppenheimer 1977; Bennett & Davies 1994). They range from arid habitats to
tropical evergreen rainforests, including all forest types excepting dense rain
forest and range higher than 4000 m (13123.4 ft) above sea level including areas
that receive winter snows. Other habitats include evergreen forest, moist
deciduous forest, broadleaf forest, subtropical pine forest, riverine forest,
dry open scrub, open park woods, desert areas, mountain foothills, mountain
forests, Himalayan oak-coniferous forests, dry deciduous habitats, subtropical
evergreen forest, temperate coniferous forest, sub-alpine forest, grasslands,
meadows, scrub, scrub forests, mixed grasslands and forest, moist deciduous
habitats and even villages, towns, residential areas, tourist areas, temple
grounds orchards and areas under cultivation (Sugiyama 1976; reviewed in Vogel
1977; Bishop 1979; Roonwal 1981; Curtin 1982; Mathur & Manohar 1990; Newton
1992; reviewed in Bennett & Davies 1994; Mathur & Manohar 1994; Pirta et
al. 1997; Chaudhuri et al. 2004; Rajpurohit et al. 2004). They are rarely found
in evergreen forests (Bennett & Davies 1994). They adapt well to habitats
in close proximity to humans, living even in built-up areas including markets
(Bennett & Davies 1994). In fact, gray langurs inhabit the city of Jodhpur,
India, a city of over a million inhabitants (Waite et al. 2007). The rainfall
in their habitats also varies greatly; from under 10 cm (3.9 in) annual
precipitation to over 200 cm (78.7 in) (Oppenheimer 1977). Among the species,
S. dussumieri is found in moist deciduous forest, dry scrub forest, dry
scrub desert, dry deciduous forest and tropical broadleaf forests. S.
schistaceus is found in temperate coniferous and broad leaf forests
(reviewed in Kirkpatrick 2007). S. ajax is found in temperate
oak-coniferous forests which encounter snowfalls during the winter (Oppenheimer
Himalayan populations experience strong seasonality in their habitat between
cold winters (temperatures can fall as low as 19.4 °F (-7 °C)) and
rainy summer monsoons (Bishop 1979; Curtin 1982). In contrast, at a different
long-term study site at the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary in Rajasthan, India,
summer temperatures usually range between 30 and 35 °C (86 and 95 °F)
and as high as 46 °C (114.8 °F) while during the winter average
temperatures are around 5 °C (41 °F) and can get as cold as 2 °C
(35.6 °F). Average rainfall is 72.5 cm (28.5 in) at this study site
(Chhangani 2002b).
Gray langurs are mostly vegetarian but are not exclusively leaf-eating like
some colobines (Vogel 1977). Over their distribution, gray langurs have
variable diets by location, habitat type, as well as season and receive
differing levels of provisioning by humans. In natural, non-provisioned
populations, the diet is composed of leaves (52-61%), fruits (15-25%), flowers
(4-13%), insects (0.4-3%), and other foods such as bark, gums, and soils (9-16%)
(reviewed in Koenig & Borries 2001). A variety of plant foods and species
are eaten across species (over 200), including deciduous and evergreen leaves,
as well as leaf buds, herb leaves, coniferous needles, fruits, fruit buds and
evergreen petioles (reviewed in Roonwal & Mohnot 1977; reviewed in Vogel
1977; Khan 1984; Chalise 1994-1995; Sayers & Norconk 2008). Trees and
shrubs predominate, followed by herbs and grasses and finally other plant types
(reviewed in Vogel 1977). Other foods which are consumed include shoots, seeds,
mosses and lichens, coniferous cones, underground plant parts, spider webs,
termite mounds, cremated human remains and bones, fern rhizomes, grass, bamboo,
plants under cultivation, such as potatoes, spinach, cauliflower, cotton,
eggplant and radishes, and provisioned foods given by humans, such as wheat
cakes, millet, and other human foods (reviewed in Oppenheimer 1977; reviewed in
Roonwal & Mohnot 1977; Khan 1984; Sayers & Norconk 2008). Gray langurs
sometimes drink water, but not from leaves in trees or muddy water (Oppenheimer
1977; reviewed in Roonwal & Mohnot 1977; Starin 1978; Newton 1992).
However, most water is attained from the food they ingest (Starin 1978).
Rarely, resins are eaten (Newton 1992). In general, gray langurs are not picky
and if a food is available and suitable, a gray langur will eat it (Koenig &
Borries 2001). Usually, more mature leaves are eaten than young leaves (Koenig
& Borries 2001). Bark is eaten mostly in times of food scarcity and rarely
at other times (Sharma 2001).
Gray langur diets change seasonally as well with shifts in food abundance.
This is the case with the population (probably S. schistaceus) in the
Langtang National Park, Nepal (Sayers & Norconk 2008). At this highly
seasonal location, low-abundance winter (December-March) foods include leaf
buds, ripe fruit, and the fallback food of evergreen mature leaves. During
spring (April-May) food includes largely deciduous young leaves and bark.
Summer monsoon foods (June-September) include deciduous mature leaves and
fruits. Fall (October-November) foods include deciduous mature leaves, unripe
fruit, and herbs, and underground plant parts (Sayers & Norconk 2008). With
seasonal changes in availability otherwise less-important foods can also become
more important, as is the case with insects during the monsoon (Srivastava
1991). In one study, the consumption of insects approached almost a quarter of
feeding time at the beginning of the yearly monsoon at a study site in central
India (Newton 1992).
Gray langurs are diurnal, spending their nights in sleeping trees (usually
more than two near to one another) in one study averaging around 12 m (39.4 ft)
tall, usually selecting the highest branches (Ramakrishnan & Coss 2001;
Chhangani 2002b). In less natural habitats, gray langurs have used old hunting
towers or high-tension electric poles for sleeping (Sharma 2002).
On an annual basis in undisturbed forest in the central Indian highlands,
gray langurs spend their time feeding (25.7%), idle (41.8%), moving (13.1%),
clinging (7.9%), and allogrooming (6.0%) (Newton 1992). In Bangladesh, near the
eastern limits of their distribution, gray langurs spend their days sitting
(44.3%), moving (16%), feeding,(14%), playing (11.2%), social grooming (7.1%)
and the rest of the day in other activities (Ahsan & Khan 2006). Himalayan
gray langurs in Nepal spent their time feeding (39.8%), resting (29.2%),
traveling (17.5%), grooming (9.5%), and huddling (3.2%) with the rest of their
time spent in other activities (Sayers & Norconk 2008). However, there are
seasonal shifts in activities, as is the case at Ambagarh Reserve Forest,
Jaipur, India, where summer activities are concentrated in the morning and
afternoon while in the winter most activity is at midday (Mathur & Bhatnagar
1993). Gray langurs do not follow a consistent daily regimen (Rajpurohit &
Rajpurohit 2002). In addition, under provisioning, gray langurs become less
active (Rajpurohit & Rajpurohit 2002).
Home ranges, like other aspects of gray langur ecology are also quite
variable; from 0.07 to 22 km² (0.03 to 8.5 mi²) with the home ranges of all male
groups typically larger than those of other types (Mathur & Manohar 1993;
literature compiled by Chhangani & Mohnot 2006). Long-term data indicate
that groups usually do not alter or move their home ranges (Newton 1994).
Himalayan gray langurs (probably S. schistaceus) travel an average of
1.5 km (0.9 mi) each day annually with the longest traveled days during the
winter (Sayers & Norconk 2008).
In some areas, wild cattle and deer wait under arboreally feeding gray
langurs and eat foods dropped by the primates (Punekar 2002). Further, nymphs
of the insect Leptocoris augur may rely on langurs to crack the hard outer
casings of preferred fruits and congregate below langur feeding locations to
feed (Newton 1984).
Gray langurs live sympatrically with a number of other primates across their
distribution, including Macaca sp.
and Trachypithecus johnii (Singh et al. 2000;
Ramakrishnan & Coss 2001; Choudhury 2008; Vasudev et al. 2008). Close
associations between Himalayan populations of gray langurs and rhesus macaques
(Macaca mulatta) have been seen, and a female langur has even been seen suckling
an infant rhesus macaque (Das & Sharma 1980).
Predators of gray langurs include leopards (Panthera pardus), dholes (Cuon
alpinus) and tigers (P. tigris) (Boggess 1976; Ross 1993; Andheria et al. 2007).
Wolves (Canis lupus) may be a predator, as may be golden jackals (Canis aureus)
(Boggess 1976; Newton 1985). Upon sighting snakes, gray langurs have been seen
to mob the reptiles (Srivastava 1991).

Across the country, right-wing legislators continue their attack on labor unions, claiming that they are saving their states money. Yet in waging these anti-labor campaigns, these politicians are ignoring one very simple fact: unions were a major force in building and sustaining the great American middle class, and as they declined, so has the middle class. As CAP's Karla Waters and David Madland showed in a report they first published this past January, as union membership has steadily declined since 1967, so too has the middle class's share of national income, as the super-rich have taken a larger share of national income than any time since the 1920s:
This is not to say that declining union membership is the only factor that led to the growth of income inequality over the past 35 years. Yet, the correlation does show that the presence of strong labor unions tends to co-exist with a strong and vibrant middle class. That is why a Main Street Movement all over the country is fighting to protect collective bargaining and the middle class wages, benefits, and protections it promotes.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is currently running a campaign to run a TV spot where ordinary Wisconsinites explain the value of collective bargaining to their livelihoods. Watch it:

LabelSneak is an outlet store aimed at brand aware guys offering discounts of up to 75 percent on fashion and sportswear, alerting consumers via social channels to personalized, limited-time sales offers. With new deals regularly updated, the site generates tremendous amounts of data such as tweets that include Instagram photos, Facebook comments on the most popular sale items and conversations between consumers on favorite brands through social channels, mobile and tablet devices.
The challenge for LabelSneak was to capture and glean insights from this big data to better understand what consumers were saying about the latest promotions, which items were the most popular and at what time and in what circumstances sales were most effective. LabelSneak also needed analytics to better target and mold online sales campaigns and to decide which social channels effectively communicated its message to attract new customers.
LabelSneak teamed with IBM and IBM Business Partner CSI Solution to connect with the growing marketplace of consumers who prefer to buy across online, mobile and social channels. With access to IBM Global Financing within minutes, the small retailer is now using IBM Smarter Commerce technology to handle high volumes of transactions as well as the large volumes and variety of data, CSI's RapidCommerce Cloud Managed Service Solution has helped LabelSneak create a site to more effectively target the digitally savvy millennial consumer with an integrated brand experience across all devices. To date, the platform is supporting a rapid pace of growth, enabling the client to focus its time and resources on growing the business such as conducting sales promotions, gleaning insights from Facebook comments or tweets.
Fashion companies of every size and style are vying for a slice of the men's wear market. To compete with more established retailer brands, LabelSneak needed to better understand men's online consumer behavior, create a more tailored marketing campaign and deliver the right merchandising mix. Not only is LabelSneak gleaning insights from data analyzing which brands to carry, but they also are seeing how consumer preferences for certain brands in men's wear are connected to a favorite sports teams or music.
IBM Smarter Commerce precision marketing is allowing consumers to choose which sales promotions they want to be alerted to or when their favorite clothing item goes on sale via text, tweet, Facebook post or email. This can be a more effective sales method as smaller retailers can deliver a level of personalization and a more tailored marketing campaign to the individual consumer.
"Understanding what resonates well with millennial consumers brings insight and impact into our ability to offer the right items and to create the right promotions at the right time, and enables us to break through to this challenging and influential millennial segment," says Ade Shannon, CEO of LabelSneak. "Social media is a consistent part of this segment's daily life and is a viable and valuable way to connect with them. The collaboration with IBM and CSI' RapidCommerce Solution is providing us the foundation to capture these insights, to anticipate consumer demand and to design a scalable platform as our business continues to grow."

Illinois vs. Ball State preview. WITH BREAKOUT.
It didn't take long for Nate Davis to take over the Ball State quarterback job. As a true freshman last fall, Davis played in the Cardinals' first four games before earning the starting spot. By season's end, he tied the school single-season record for touchdown passes (18) and finished fourth in passing yards (1,975) and eighth in completions (150). "Last year, I really wasn't knowing what I was doing,'' Davis said. "It's a whole different game now.'' When Illinois (5-3 overall, 3-2 in the Big Ten Conference) hosts Ball State (5-3, 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference) in the homecoming game Saturday (11 a.m., Big Ten Network), Illinois faces a challenge in Davis. "Scouts have told me is one of the best quarterbacks in the Midwest,'' said Illinois coach Ron Zook. The 6-foot-2, 214-pound sophmore ranks 12th nationally in passing (285.7 yards per game), 14th in total offense (304.1) and 26th in pass efficiency. Davis already broke the school record with 20 touchdown passes this season, and he's thrown only three interceptions. Davis threw for 306 yards and four touchdowns against Eastern Michigan. In a 41-40 loss at Nebraska, Davis completed 26-for-43 for 422 yards and three touchdowns. He passed for 200 yards or more in each of the last seven games after throwing for 198 in the season opener. Illinois hasn't seen this kind of quarterback since Missouri's Chase Daniel threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns in a win over the Illini on Labor Day weekend. "(Davis) is a thrower, a slinger,'' Zook said. "He can run the ball and get out of trouble. That's not his forte in terms of running the option. He reminds me of a more athletic quarterback than the guy we faced in the first game with his release and the accuracy. "It's another perfect example that there's no exact science in recruiting.'' Davis emerged after a 24-23 loss to Indiana last season. Indiana found a quarterback that night in Kellen Lewis. Ball State also learned something. "In the next year and a half, they've been running around the country creating headaches and heartaches for defensive coaches,'' Zook said. Davis followed his brother Jose from Bellaire, Ohio, on the Ohio-West Virginia border to quarterback in the MAC. Jose Davis holds Kent State single-game records for completions (34), passing yards (551) and touchdown passes (seven.) He also holds school records for TD passes in a season (32) and career (57). "The mental part of football is something that he's probably a little bit ahead of where we thought he might be,'' Ball State coach Brady Hoke said. "We thought he had gifts with his arm and how he throws the ball.'' Davis isn't the only story on Ball State's roster. Sophomore Brandon Crawford is a 31-year-old defensive end who walked onto the Ball State roster after serving in the U.S. Marines. He blocked a potential game-winning field-goal attempt in the final play of regulation in Ball State's overtime win at Navy, and Crawford ranks sixth on the team with 41 tackles. Junior punter Chris Miller, of Libertyville, leads the nation with 47.2 yards per punt. Junior wide receiver Dante Love ranks seventh nationally in all-purpose yards (196.6), 19th in receptions (6.8) and 21st in receiving yards (93.0). John Supinie can be reached at email@example.com. For more coverage, read Illini Talk blog at www.sj-r.com and www.pjstar.com. A look at Ball State Record: 5-3 overall, 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference. So far: Lost to Miami (Ohio) 14-13; def. Eastern Michigan 38-16; def. Navy 34-31 OT; lost to Nebraska 41-40; def. Buffalo 49-14; lost to Central Michigan 58-38; def. Western Kentucky 35-12; def. Western Michigan 27-23. Coach: Brady Hoke, 15-27 in fourth year at Ball State and overall. Other players to watch: TE Darius Hill (19 career TD catches), RB Frank Edmonds (true frosh has 388 yards rushing), LB Bryant Haines (82 tackles). Did you know? Former Illini QB Jeff Hecklinski is in his fourth season as Ball State receivers coach. Quote: "We've been an up and down team. We dropped two early games by one point and another at Central Michigan where we didn't have the type of team we wanted to put on the field.'' -- Ball State coach Brady Hoke.

G.Q. : Evil Instincts - John Hawkes
Bad guys do chores too.
Editor's Pick
For GQ, photographer Nadav Kander turns his camera on celebrities including Benicio del Toro, Malcolm McDowell, and Ron Perlman, in a series of short films depicting them performing activities which appear deeply menacing but turn out to be nothing more sinister than doing household chores.
The project began as a series of stills, entitled 'Bad Guys', commissioned by GQ to be photographed by Kander. This presented an opportunity to shoot accompanying short films, which will appear on the iPad edition of GQ's June issue. They mark the commercial motion film debut for Kander, whose previous work includes portraits of Barack Obama and David Lynch, and were edited by JD Smyth of Final Cut. The stills appear in the June print edition as well as the iPad version.

The Missing Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy
by Michael Collins Piper
First soft cover edition published in 1994. Sixth edition, second printing, published in 2005.
665 pages (including index)
The most recent sixth edition offered by America First Books as an ebook.
America First Books eBook Summary
Arguably this is the best analysis in existence of one of the most pivotal crimes of the Twentieth Century. It is also a vital expose of the hidden real power structure of America whose virulent poison has been steadily spreading corruption throughout our increasingly distressed country.
Final Judgment documents how Israel's leaders, the Mossad, the Meyer Lansky-run organized crime syndicate, and a pro-Zionist faction of the CIA colluded to assassinate President ,John F. Kennedy. The general pattern of the JFK covert operation, to include the skillful use of "limited hang-outs," "patsies," and "false flags," has very likely been repeated in various later forms such as in the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, the murder of Martin Luther King, the mysterious death of former CIA Director William Colby, the very suspicious Oklahoma City bombing, and the Mossad-linked "controlled demolition" of World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. More recently, we have seen how the "High Priests of War" have flexed raw Israeli-lobby power by pushing American interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq and by promoting saber-rattling at Iran and Syria.
JFK planned a military strike to prevent an Israeli-Red Chinese scientific partnership from building the first atomic bombs for China and Israel. He sought to thwart the CIA-Mossad-Meyer Lansky partnership that controlled the heroin trade stemming from the Golden Triangle by pulling U.S. troops out of Vietnam. JFK even transferred control of Cold War espionage operations from the CIA to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Through his support of Algerian independence and an "even-handedness" policy towards other Arab nations, JFK infuriated the French Secret Army Organization (OAS) and its Mossad supporters who had sent professional assassins against French President Charles DeGaulle. JFK's brother Bobby, as Attorney General, moved aggressively against the lower levels of Meyer Lansky-dominated organized crime in America. Lastly, the Kennedy family quietly talked about shutting down America's privately owned Federal Reserve banking cartel that has provided vital fiat money financing for Zionist projects.
For most Americans, Final Judgment is a high drama in another way. It is like Hamlet seeing the ghost. It addresses all the right "hard questions" about what has been done to America that are rarely addressed in so-called "mainstream" conservative literature.

. . .Here's what some big names have said about America's #1 Banned Book:
. . • A respected former high-ranking U.S. State Department official
. . . "As one who has read over 200 books on the JFK assassination, and engaged in research both as an individual and as part of various teams, I can say without fear of contradiction that Piper's book is now the definitive work on the JFK assassination. Final Judgment is the most thorough, most honest, most penetrating, most factual, and most analytically complete and systematic of all that I have read so far.
. . ."The author builds an upwardly spiraling tapestry of well documented facts that connect the threads of the conspiracy as they ascend level by level from the ground up to the very tip of the pyramid. Along the way, he breaks the conspiracy into easily digestible parts. Otherwise its sheer complexity would be nearly impossible to follow and decipher. At each level, the threads of the puzzle are woven together in such a way that the fog from the labyrinth is slowly but inexorably lifted until eventually it is peeled back completely and the outlines of the conspiracy are laid bare. What is revealed is as convincing as it is scary.
. . ."Someday America will have to face some unpleasant truths about its democracy and about how it has been, and continues to be manipulated, if not completely commandeered by those whose primary loyalties lie elsewhere. While the links at some of the levels may be tenuous, the author refuses to `fake or fudge the data' or to be `fatally selective' in what is included or left out—as was so clearly the case in Gerald Posner's Case Closed, or indeed as was the case in the Warren Commission's own flawed report. Piper is intrepid in following his analysis to every logical conclusion—wherever they lead and whatever the implications may be.
. . . "In short, Piper keeps his eye on the donut (`Big Picture') and not on the hole (inessential details). He focuses on the `why and how' of the conspiracy and unmistakably the threads all lead back to Israel, Israeli super-patriots, the Meyer Lansky led `Jewish branch of the mob,' and the Mossad and the international `agents of influence' under its control.
. . . "While serious researchers may quibble with inessential details in the study, such as tenuous links at some levels, or redundancies at others, those of us who have studied this issue since the days after the assassination always knew that the truth would have its own resonance—like the Garrison investigation did. We knew that the truth would have its own context, its own smell, like Peter Dale Scott's Deep Politics and the Death of JFK did. Piper's book has them all and in the grand tradition of Carl Oglesby's The Yankee & Cowboy War, Michael Collins Piper has struck gold. He has hit the `mother lode,' and in the process has pointed the finger at, if not tightened the proverbial noose around, the necks of the cabal of conspirators responsible for pulling the strings (and triggers) of the JFK assassination.
. . . "JFK assassination research has a new standard bearer. It will never be the same again. Because of this book, future research will begin to focus more on the `big picture,' and turn away from constantly grinding, ad nauseam, at inconsistencies in the Warren Commission's Report. Compared to Posner's Case Closed, Final Judgment is a masterpiece."
. . .(Herbert L. Calhoun, Ph.D. retired as deputy division chief of the Policy, Plans and Analysis Office of the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs and formerly served as a senior foreign affairs specialist for the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and as the U.S. representative to the 1996 and 1998 United Nations Group of Governmental Experts on Small Arms and Light Weapons. Dr. Calhoun posted this 5 out of 5 star endorsement of Final Judgment on amazon.com on March 10, 2003.)
. . . • A famed Hollywood screenwriter and victim of the "witch hunts" of the 1950s
. . . "Michael Collins Piper has laid out the only scenario for the JFK assassination that makes ultimate sense. He's a gutsy guy who hasn't been afraid to confront the truth head on. That's what America is all about. Final Judgment is a masterpiece that would make a great film—but it's not likely one that will ever be made."
. . . (One of the movie industry's most prolific screenwriters, the colorful Bill Norton was described by The Sunday World of London (on April 9, 2000) as "a leading Hollywood movie figure" and "a dedicated socialist and a man with strong religious beliefs who had helped various left-wing causes." In the late 1940s and early 1950s Norton was a hostile witness during the infamous anti-communist "witchhunts" of the House Un-American Activities Committee.)
. . . • A respected veteran American author, journalist and foundation official
. . ."I think you've pinned the tail on the donkey. In my estimation, Final Judgment ranks as the most important book of the 20th century."
. . .(Gill—who died just as this edition of Final Judgment was going to press—was the author of such books as Trade Wars Against America, The Ordeal of Otto Otepka, Suite 3505: The Story of the Draft Goldwater Movement, and Why Reagan Won. A journalist with United Press International and the Pittsburgh Press, Gill also wrote for Life, Fortune, the Saturday Evening Post, Reader's Digest and National Geographic. He also served as executive director of the prestigious Allegheny Foundation and was a well-known Washington representative for the domestic steel industry.
. . . • A former top-ranking Pentagon official
. . .Here's what Colonel Donn De Grand Pre has written in his own book, Barbarians Inside the Gates, citing Final Judgment, which Grand Pre describes as "brilliant"...
. . . "Several high-level military officers believed that the killing of JFK was in fact a coup d'etat carried out by elements of the CIA working with the Israeli Mossad. Kennedy was attempting to halt the development of nuclear weapons by the Israelis, while simultaneously planning to disband the CIA and disengage our military troops from the Indo-China area. (Read Final Judgmentby Michael Collins Piper for more details.)"
(A veteran of World War II and Korea, Grand Pre served as Deputy Chief of the International Division/Office of the Chief of Research and Development at the Pentagon. In 1967 Grand Pre was named as Director for Ground Weapons Systems in the newly-created office of International Logistics Negotiations, responsible for negotiating sales contracts with heads of foreign nations for military weapons systems. On Sept. 30, 1979, The Washington Post Magazine wrote about Grand Pre, citing his expertise: "If you had been a Middle Eastern ruler in the 1970s in search of American weapons systems, you would have called Donn de Grand Pre, Pentagon arms peddler.")
. .• One of America's most hard-driving young independent investigative reporters
. . .Shortly before his strange death in Phoenix, Arizona on June 16, 2003, journalist Brian Downing Quig wrote Michael Collins Piper and said:
. . . "A very important person gave me your book. So I started to read what I would not have purchased at a dollar book sale. I was hostile to the thesis stated on your cover! But I looked at the photos and then read every word. I am now convinced that you have seen and now help others see the largest feature of the JFK assassination that has been missed by all up to this period. I think that Final Judgment delivers all that you promise."
. . .(Quig was best known for his inquiries into the death of reporter Don Bolles and later for his work on the Charles Keating scandal.)
. . .And here's what famed American populist historian Eustace Mullins says about FINAL JUDGMENT . . .
. . "Only once in a decade does a book appear which immediately becomes a 'must read' for all concerned patriots. Final Judgment is such a book. Final Judgment is a 'must' book because it raises and answers so many questions which we need to know about.
. . ."You need to know everything in this book if you are to understan the subversive forces which are destroying our nation.
. . ."Final Judgment is ammunition for the coming war of liberation for America. Victory is not possible without information, and this book has given us the information we need.
. . ."You will wait a long time, if ever, before you see such a gargantuan assembly of vital information as you'll find in this book."
. . . Here's what Australian-based JFK assassination researchers have to say about FINAL JUDGMENT . . .
. . .MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER MUST BE A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT. Upon the first release of his book, Final Judgment, a storm of controversy erupted in the United States with certain "pressure groups" trying hard to have the book banned. Since then, Final Judgment has gone through three more printings—and the controversy hasn't abated.
. . .We here in Australia believe that all theories on the JFK assassination should be heard, no matter whether you agree with them or not. Heck, we even bought and read Gerald Posner's Case Closed, and there isn't a more outlandish theory than his! Trying to get another book banned because you don't agree with it, or it isn't Politically Correct (the greatest censorship drive of the 80s and 90s), is just the kind of thing we fight against. It's just the same as groups such as the FBI and CIA "redacting" lines of text here and there. People in glass theories shouldn't throw books, so to speak.
. . .So, we here at Probable Cause are proud to review Final Judgment and hope that we never go down the path of the "American Model"—freedom of speech and the First Amendment and all that—yeah, okay, until you start speaking out and stepping on other people's toes. They line you up for a takedown. Boy, does Michael Collins Piper know about that!
. . .Okay, so after that little editorial, what is Final Judgment about? Piper's thesis is that Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, played a key role in the assassination alongside the CIA and organized crime. Throughout his presidency, JFK was involved in an increasingly bitter behind-the-scenes dispute with Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion over Israel's steadfast determination to build a nuclear arsenal. JFK wanted them to stop. But they had other ideas.
. . .Sound far-fetched? Well, actually, you'll be surprised how many well-known "JFK assassination players" have links to the Mossad and we were quite impressed with the documented evidence within the book. Still, you'll have to read this one for yourself to decide. Piper is under attack from the ADL in the U.S. for this book and, really, it's not warranted. Did the French community in the U.S. get upset when it was suggested there was a French connection in the assassination? No. But then again, perhaps they don't have the lobbying power of the ADL.
Below are two of the most recent reviews of Final Judgment that have been posted at Amazon:

5 of 5 Star Rating: Unequaled, September 22, 2006
By Sample Reviewer One
If all other books written about the JFK Assassination are to be categorized, especially Government- anctioned ones; i.e. the "Warren Commission Report", they belong to such categories as "Deviant Deceptions", "Fanciful Fictions", or how about "Pompous Pretensions." This book on the other hand is in a category all by itself, "Factual." The little bit of speculative views, which are distinguished in this book as such, make more sense and are more reasonable than any other book that lay claims to theirs as being factual. Those writers are either, ignorant of, or intentionally hiding the truth, that Michael Collins Piper so clearly articulates. Thank you Michael Collins Piper for this excellent unmasking, you are a rare breed.

5 of 5 Star Rating: Excellent Book couldn't put it down!!, April 18, 2006
By Sample Reviewer Two
Finally the big picture as to who would have ordered the killing of an American President.
Sure , the operation as we know it still occoured [sic] which still makes me loath the CIA and Secret Service for participating in it. But , "the powerfull force" has been uncovered and exposed--finally.
And without the "established" media, the coup could have not been covered up forever, as it was.
Piper does an excellent job of making every connection to the coup come back to Israel, and it is clear that State Survival is clearly a motive for murder. Not munitions plants, political survival, petty revenge and so forth.
The "unthinkable" had to happen only for such a grand reason. The survival of a country.
I recently listened again, to the American University Speech given by Mr. Kennedy the summer of his demise and can't help but think that speech put the icing on the cake for the plotters.
Another disturbing little known fact until "Final Judgement" was that Kennedy promoted Alegerian independence in 1956. Support for this Arab state resulted in the asassination attempt on DeGaul by the same force that ultimately teamed up with our CIA and killed JFK.
Unfortunately,if JFK had lived and implemented his even handed approach to Middle Eastern affairs, the world terrorism situation would not be as it is. Instead , US policy has been one sided and this has created resentment in the Arab world.
