COVER- Wise guys: Ayers, Onuf and Balogh shed robes for radio
If you'd asked historians Brian Balogh, Peter Onuf, and Ed Ayers six years ago how they'd feel about becoming popular radio personalities, they would have laughed it off as a joke. Well, in fact, someone did ask, and they did laugh. Heartily.
At the time, all three were employed at the University of Virginia as accomplished colleagues who collectively had penned enough books to fill a small library and had garnered enough honors– academic and literary– to wallpaper any remaining walls in that library.
But host a radio show?
"I thought it was crazy," laughs Ayers, now president of the University of Richmond.
"I don't think history is funny," Onuf says he replied when the idea for what would become BackStory with the American History Guys was first floated past him following a history symposium at which he and Ayers had presented.
And Balogh says the idea seemed so terrible at first that, in a strange way, he couldn't resist.
"It was pitched in a way that made me laugh and convinced me it would never work," he recalls, admitting he agreed only because it sounded like it would be fun– at least until it failed. "How bad could it be to sit around and talk about history?" he wondered.
Since the first episode aired in June 2008 on a single station, the show has racked up rave reviews and awards from organizations such as the Federation of State Humanities Councils and Public Radio Exchange. Early on, it was singled out on iTunes as a "staff favorite," and the latest holiday show, "Naughty and Nice," held the front page of the iTunes Store's podcast page, leading to almost 90,000 downloads and helping the show earn sponsorship by the History Channel.
Perhaps more significantly, it's built an ever increasing listenership. The show's July 4, 2009 episode, "Independence Daze," aired on twenty-seven public radio stations from Cape Cod to Sioux City to San Francisco, and introduced listeners to the history behind America's most patriotic holiday and the traditions that accompany it. The show has been carried on 86 stations in 35 states plus the District of Columbia.
If the show's executive producer has his way, the "guys"– Onuf is "Eighteenth-Century Guy," Ayers is "Nineteenth-Century Guy" and Balogh is "Twentieth-Century Guy"– will soon be on air weekly in all 50 states, bantering, interviewing prestigious intellectuals and common folk, taking calls from listeners, and, most importantly, says Onuf, "having a ball."
The show's success has been surprising even to the man who first envisioned it as he was exploring opportunities in radio programming at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities in the fall of 2004.
"I knew both Ed and Peter," says Andrew Wyndham, director of media programs at VFH and BackStory's executive producer. "They're both brilliant guys," he says, "and I thought, if these two came together, we could have the makings of an extraordinary radio show, given their chemistry."
After some initial good-humored resistance, in the summer of 2005 Ayers and Onuf agreed to give the show a try– but with one caveat.
"They both said we need a third guy who will be our twentieth-century expert," Wyndham recalls. Ayers and Onuf already had that expert in mind: their UVA history department colleague and Ayers's basketball buddy, Brian Balogh.
"I was a little worried about having three voices," Wyndham admits, but when Balogh arrived for a meeting with Ayers, Onuf, and Wyndham to discuss the idea, "it was obvious that they really set off each other's energy– it was happening right there in front of me," Wyndham says. "They were making quips, coming up with ideas, generating thought after thought."
Settling on the show's hosts, however, would prove to be the lowest hurdle to leap as the four worked to take the concept from inception to airwaves.
By spring 2006, they'd created a 30-minute demo called The History Guys, featuring questions from callers and several regular segments, including "Gear from Yesteryear," examining technology and tools from the past, and "Kidding Around with History," featuring children and teens. That first foray won them their first grant: $30,000 from UVA alumni through the office of UVA's president. A year later, an expanded one-hour prototype reaped even more money: $130,000 from another UVA fund, plus several individual donations.
But when they submitted their sample to various public radio stations for feedback, the reception, Wyndham says, wasn't as warm.
"They came back to us and said, 'There's potential here, but it's not there yet.'"
Among the suggestions: that each episode needed a coherent theme and that the three hosts needed to "differentiate." And that wasn't all.
"The biggest suggestion was to have a dedicated staff of people who have experience in producing shows and who can make this sing," says Wyndham, who raised enough money to hire three full-time radio professionals, including the show's producer, Tony Field, in early 2008.
"The challenge with these guys has been working with them to find their voice as radio professionals instead of as professors," says Field, who'd been an associate producer at On the Media, a one-hour National Public Radio show offering media criticism and analysis. Since his hiring, Field also has worked to develop a vibrant and interactive web presence for the new show at backstoryradio.org. But there's a flip side to that challenge as well.
"A lot of exciting opportunities have presented themselves because of that," says Field, explaining that many of the intellectual powerhouses guesting on the show are lured in by the idea of being interviewed by fellow scholars instead of journalists and radio hosts.
"There's a little more spontaneity and a little more seriousness" in the interviews, says Yale history professor David Blight, an authority on the U.S. Civil War, whose interview on the "Independence Daze" episode covered Frederick Douglass's famed 1852 Fourth of July speech in which the freed slave offered his audience the scathing reminder that, because of his skin color, "the Fourth of July is yours, not mine."
The three hosts of BackStory "are taking talk radio and TV culture," says Blight, "and infusing it with some serious historical understanding."
Which isn't to say the guys understand everything. In that same July 4 episode, a caller asks why the 1812 Overture, by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky, is associated with America's holiday.
"We looked at each other, pointed at each other," says Balogh, admitting the question stumped all three. "We don't pretend to be experts on everything under the sun." (It turns out that a July 4, 1974, performance of the overture by the Arthur Fiedler-conducted Boston Pops Orchestra, accompanied by cannons and fireworks, sparked the tradition.)
Although the history of holidays have anchored several BackStory episodes, other episodes take a ripped from-the-headlines approach including "Panic! A history of Financial Crisis," "From Whales to Wind: A History of Energy," and "The More Things Change: The History of Presidential Transitions."
But sometimes, serendipity creates its own drama. For Ayers, it was a surprise caller during their Mother's Day program.
"They said, 'It's Billie from Kingsport, Tennessee,'" laughs Ayers. He admits it took him a moment to realize that the caller who asked, "What do three men know about motherhood, anyway?" was Ayers's own octogenarian mother, a retired teacher, who then discussed with the guys the merits of mothers working versus staying at home.
In the course of that program, the guys addressed a question from another caller, who was planning to conceive, and wondered when the societal pressure to be a perfect mother began. For the record, the guys agree that the pressure likely started in the nineteenth century, when a mother's role was essentially that of a "proto-Harvard business school"– raising boys into men who would be leaders in society. Girls, the guys noted, also needed an education so they would later be able to raise their own accomplished sons.
During the show's Memorial Day episode on the history of death and mourning, Ayers says, he visited a very special grave site: his own. The University of Richmond has a special plot for deceased presidents in historic Hollywood Cemetery.
"That's what I like about the show," says Ayers, a Yale graduate with a Tennessee twang. "It doesn't take itself too seriously."
Balogh, too, holds one show at least slightly above the rest: the Thanksgiving program in which he interviewed his sports idol, 1970s Dallas Cowboys legend Roger Staubach, to find out what it was like to have spent a decade of Thanksgivings on the gridiron. "I don't get to interview Roger Staubach every day," he notes.
For Onuf, the joy of interviewing guests is at least matched by the pleasure of the studio repartee, a pleasure that's obvious as the three men banter during a summer recording session, ribbing each other over whose century is superior until a producer reins them in.
"The thing I love most is when we surprise each other, including ourselves, with something weird, off-the-wall, some weird angle," Onuf says. "The times when we're doing our chops as historians. There's that kind of excitement."
Such chops are on display in a year-ago episode, "Black & White: The Idea of Racial Purity," when Balogh asks his two cohosts about the origins of the concept of race.
They trace it from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when ethnicity was a far more powerful defining force than race, through slavery and emancipation, and on into the twentieth century. They discuss the 1967 Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia, which declared antimiscegenation laws unconstitutional, and note that themes of racial identity became increasingly common in works by twentieth-century authors, including William Faulkner and George Orwell.
Yet for all the intellectual stimulation the show offers its hosts, it places grueling demands on their time, particularly considering all three men are already gainfully employed. Eight to 10 hours of studio recordings are edited to fit into each one-hour episode; and there have been several times when it appeared the show might itself have become history.
Nearly three years ago– as they were struggling to retool the show's format– Ayers assumed the presidency at the University of Richmond following his tenure as dean of UVA's School of Arts and Sciences. The move and long hours at the new job threatened to derail the fledgling radio program. Onuf soon chimed in with some news of his own: He'd been offered a visiting professorship at Oxford University in England.
"I really thought that might be it," says Wyndham.
In stepped what might be considered "Twenty-first-Century Guy": technology.
Setting up home sound studios for Onuf in England and Ayers in Richmond allowed recording to continue. "I've been surprised," Balough says, "at how easily we adapted to being in three different places."
And with Onuf now returned from his year overseas and Ayers just an hour away from the show's Charlottesville home base, the future of BackStory, says Wyndham, looks especially bright. Various grants and donations have allowed the program to meet its current $190,000 annual budget, and the guys have taken the show on the road. Last June, they recorded before a live audience in Charlottesville, and since then have done live shows in New Hampshire, Richmond, and again in Charlottesville at Monticello, with an additional recording scheduled for October in Colonial Williamsburg.
Wyndham hopes BackStory will run weekly by next summer and that they'll be able to convince the eighty-six stations that have already carried at least one episode to sign on permanently, although he acknowledges the current economic climate means meeting that goal won't be a cakewalk. "It's a tough time to be breaking in a new show in public radio," he sighs.
For their parts, Balogh, Onuf, and Ayers seem to have made peace with their unexpected success– even as the show's growth may put increasing demands on their already limited time.
"I put that in the 'trouble in paradise' category," says Balogh.
Six years after they were first asked what seemed to be a silly question, indeed, they are well on their way to becoming radio stars. And, to their great delight, all three guys are still laughing.
Hook senior editor Courteney Stuart originally penned a version of this story for the November/December issue of Humanities, the magazine of the National Endowment of the Humanities.

When I turn on the radio, I want to hear Eminem, not boring history!
I'm a huge fan of the show...lots of fun to listen to; I'm glad it's a success.
It's a fabulous show. How these guys can take a mundane subject and make it interesting, funny, and entertaining is just amazing. Sullen Student, give it a listen. You might just learn something and enjoy yourself at the same time.
history is booooooooooooooooorinnnnnnggggg
History is a waist of time. We should study something useful like music or fashion. Radio is a waist of time too. Heloo, it's called an ipod and that is how this sentury listens to music.
Ashley, it's abundantly clear why you dont' find this show interesting. You can't spell! Why would you think history had anything useful to offer you? Radio will be around for a long time because people listen to more than music on a radio in this and future centuries...yes, it's spelled with a "c" not an "s' and a waist is between your chest and your knees. A waste of time is probalby taking the time to respond to your comments.
The worstest people in the world are the loosers that teach history.

Locrian – Chalk Point (Fan Death)
Locrian have found themselves firmly in the "If you haven't heard them yet STOP EVERYTHING" category. Every album they put out seems like it's the best thing they've ever done. Which is true. But I don't know how they do it. And The Clearing is no different. It is literally the best thing they've ever done. It's massively evil & evilly massive. Sticking with the genre mixing (doom, noise, metal, ambient, everything else) but making sure to throw a hefty dose of BLACK all over it. Although this time around they've juiced on the electronics, ground up some psych in there as well, and upped the bleak shrieks to a more noticeable level, maybe because everyone's been digging on The Body lately?
The first track is like a blackened Barn Owl, opening with a lurching looped piano and moving to streamlined feedback, slow thunderous drums, and cult monk moaning. Evil. Massive. Then shit gets even bigger, a fury of blast beats, power electronics, and horrific howling. Totally massive. Bringing things down for the third track with depressed acoustics laid over a rumbling feedback, sparse drums, eeriness abound, less massive, just as evil. The final sidelong piece is a motherfuckin burner, Goblin like pulsed electronics, everything seething a wretched tension, foreboding as hell, some awful shit on the horizon. Slow, methodic, and as evil as it gets. Building but never getting anywhere, relentless tension. Like running up the down escalators of hell, finally getting to the top and finding Locrian screaming at you with an eternal wall of speakers behind them and they kick you in the face back down. Unbelievably massive & evil & fucking AWESOME. Do not miss this.

I saw both matches (Rod v Berdych and Hewitt v Stepanek) and I've got to say that Roddick was super impressive in beating Berdych.
Not as impressed with Hewitt - not surprising considering his performance in the first two sets.
My question to the tennis experts out there is this:
What chance do you give Hewitt against Roddick?
And why?
Very interested in your opinions.

The attorneys at Monheit Law, who have dedicated their careers to helping the victims of accidents get back on track, understand how important the relationship is between a lawyer and their client.
Their team operates on the principle that no client should ever be treated as "just another case". They recognize that by the time a client contacts their legal firm, they've already been through something very traumatic and are trying to find someone they can trust to turn to for help.
When a Philadelphia resident decides to work with Monheit Law, their dedicated legal counsel will review every detail of the accident which caused them harm, review their monetary and non-monetary losses, inform them of all legal avenues that they can pursue, help them file the necessary paperwork, and guide them through the discovery phase.
Discovery is the part of pretrial litigation where both the plaintiff and the defendants perform an in-depth investigation of the facts of the case and request any documents that may be important to the case from the opposing party. Documents may include things like computer files, medical records, and even security records. A deposition may also be requested, during which an individual will make a recorded statement that can then be used in court.
The discovery process is long and complicated and can be nearly impossible to navigate without the help of an attorney. Without the information discovered during this process, the compensation that the plaintiff so desperately needs may be unobtainable. This compensation could potentially cover the plaintiff's medical expenses, lost earnings, physical pain and suffering, and emotional turmoil.
Monheit Law understands how stressful this entire process can be, which is why they strive to provide excellent communication, answering any questions their clients may have and providing them with regular updates whenever a new development in their case has taken place.

Blue Devils win first national title in MHA history
With a 3-0 win over the Affton (Mo.) Americans on Sunday, April 1 in Ashburn, Va., the Mustang Hockey Association's Blue Devils PeeWee Tier II 12-U team became the first national champions in MHA history, according to Reid McDonald, manager of the McDonald Center and longtime member of the Chugiak-Eagle River hockey community.
"Everybody was charged up," head coach Chris Brunnhoelzl said. "Parents going crazy, kids going crazy."
Affton handed the Blue Devils, who finished 5-1, their only loss of the tournament in pool play. The Blue Devils gave up too many odd man rushes in the 6-3 defeat and were more prepared the second time around, Brunnhoelzl said.
"We figured out what they were doing and countered those guys," he said.
Blue Devils' netminder Trent Burnham keyed the victory with 35 saves in the Tier II 2A national title game, Brunnhoelzl said.
"Trent Burnham played out of his mind," he said.
Brunnhoelzl said Burnham — who backstopped an 8-0 win in the state title game — has shined all year at critical times.
"He's got a habit of getting shutouts in the championship game," Brunnhoelzl said. "That's a big plus."
Braden Brunnhoelzl started the scoring with a shorthanded goal in the opening period. Ty McEnaney notched a tally in the second and Nathan Sperry tipped in a shot from the point in the third.
The Blue Devils traveled to Virginia with the goal of earning some hardware, coach Brunnhoelzl said, and their hard work was rewarded.
"It's well deserved," he said. "They went down there with a mission and got it done. I'm really proud of them."
Glacier Bears finish 1-3 at nationals
The Eagle River Glacier Hockey Association's Alaska Glacier Bears went 1-3 at the Tier II 16-U 2A national tournament in Green Bay, Wis.
The Bears lost 6-2 against the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Komets in their first game March 29, and dropped a 16-3 decision to the Ashburn (Va.) Xtreme just six hours later.
The Glacier Bears defeated Casco Bay (Maine) 3-2 on March 30 before ending the tournament with a 4-1 loss to the Junior Checkers of North Carolina.
The Chesterfield (Mo.) Falcons won the national title 7-3 over the Junior Checkers on April 1.

Messages of hope pouring into Newtown
NEWTOWN (AP) — More messages of hope and solidarity are pouring into Newtown, Conn., as the town prepares to observe Christmas Eve 10 days after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Two dozen children and six adults arrived at town hall Monday morning to deliver hundreds of handmade cards and snowflakes collected as they toured Connecticut in a charter bus.
Organizer Gwen Samuel of Meriden says it's a way to help the families of the 20 slain first-graders and six teachers while also allowing children from elsewhere in the state to express their feelings about the tragedy.
Newtown's town hall has become a gathering point for donations and people who just want to talk about what happened.
Building manager Karen Pierce says the deluge of donations and support has been helping the town get through it all.

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of throwing a New Year's Eve party. But it's also easy to spend way more money than necessary on decorations, foods and drinks.
Fear not, party fiends. You can still pull off the best bash of the year on a budget. Julie Mulligan, lifestyle expert from 1-800-Flowers, tells you how.
Here are three great ways to bring in 2009 with a bang and keep your wallet intact.
1) CREATE. You can make some imaginative party accents with things you already have around the house – items that look expensive to the eye but are practical to the wallet. So how about a New Year's Eve Wish Tree?
Take simple objects, such as a silver vase, ice bucket or champagne bottle and add silver spray-painted tree branches. Guests can write down their wishes for the New Year on a tag and hang it from the tree. At midnight everyone can read the wishes.
2) TRANSFORM. Remember that holiday evergreen wreath you hung on your door for Christmas? Well, turn it into a New Year's Eve wreath! Use silver ribbon, clip art and simple sparkle embellishments to make it snazzy. It's the perfect addition to any New Year's Eve party ambiance.
3) DESIGN IT YOURSELF. Anyone can make totally awesome centerpieces with things lying around your house. 1-800-FLOWERS.com sells funky centerpieces featuring martini glasses and flowers, but why buy a "Happy Hour Bouquet" when you can make it yourself?

When the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) activated its new TPS-77 radar recently, it greatly expanded the Thailand's long-range air surveillance network capability. In particular, the radar helps provide greater air sovereignty, security and safety over much of the Gulf of Thailand.
With this direct commercial sale and installation now successfully completed, Thailand became the owner of the 34th Lockheed Martin long-range radar operational in the Asia Pacific region. Thailand joins countries such as Korea, Taiwan and Australia, who have relied on Lockheed Martin's family of 3-D, solid-state, L-band surveillance radars for decades.
More countries are recognizing the need to enhance their air surveillance with modern, cost-effective radar systems. In February, Lockheed Martin and Indonesian technology firm PT CMI Teknologi signed a teaming agreement to pursue the National Airspace Surveillance – Republic of Indonesia (NASRI) program, a new network of radar systems that will improve airspace surveillance, safety and management over the Indonesian Archipelago.
Lockheed Martin ground-based air surveillance radars are the choice of more than 30 nations on six continents. Today, 178 Lockheed Martin long-range systems operate around the world—more than all other competitive radars combined.
Lockheed Martin's TPS-59, TPS-77 and FPS-117 family of radars are high-performing, reliable, solid state systems specializing in early warning, situational awareness, and ballistic and tactical missile surveillance and defense.
Commonality in supporting and sustaining a fleet of 178 long-range radars operational around the world allows for leveraging signal and data processing upgrades to continually modernize systems and provide significant lifecycle cost savings.
The TPS-77 is the latest configuration of the world's most successful 3-D solid-state radar design. This transportable radar provides continuous high-quality 3-D surveillance on aircraft targets at ranges out to 250 nautical miles. The TPS-77 shares commonality with Lockheed Martin's FPS-117 radar with regard to maintenance activity and Line Replaceable Units. Many have performed for years completely unmanned in remote areas, and in a wide range of operational environments.

February is a month with plenty of different types of ebook on offer, as publishers continue experimenting to find what strikes a chord with readers.
The Friday Project declares it is reviving the tradition of the political pamphlet with Sorry, But Has There Been a Coup? (99p) by Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur, authors of the lugubrious humour book Is It Just Me, Or Is Everything Shit? The ebook takes a satirical look at the coalition and its politics, presented in brief sketches which poke snarky fun at such absurd but apparently quite true facts as that education minister Michael Gove had a brief TV career alongside David Baddiel and once played a chaplain in boarding-school comedy "A Feast After Midnight".
Is there a link between the Big Society and the occult, given that Cameron got his central idea from writers Hilaire Belloc and GK Chesterton, the latter a big fan of the Ouija board in his youth, ask the authors? And while tough, incisive Corby MP Louise Mensch claims to be the same person as novelist Louise Bagshawe, author of romance books with titles like Sparkles, has she in fact done away with her in some Faustian pact to gain power? Playful and amusing, but with the occasional sharp bite.
Meanwhile publisher Transworld says it is reviving another good old literary tradition for the ebook age, the serial, by issuing Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City in mini-ebook instalments, reminiscent of the way the stories first appeared as daily columns in the San Francisco Chronicle. The first episode – available to download for free – sees Mary Ann Singleton arriving in the city as a naive young secretary, to discover the delights of 28 Barbary Lane and its pot-loving landlady Mrs Madrigal; later instalments, to be charged for, will be released weekly. Maupin is instantly captivating and the e-chapters are nicely presented, so the idea could take.
February's offering from the Penguin Shorts series is a collection of Will Self's Real Meals columns from the New Statesman about dining out the way most people do it – not in the fancy surroundings of a celebrity chef's restaurant, but in McDonalds, Pizza Express, a curry house or Nando's. Titled The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Prawn Cracker (£1.99), it sees Self take an entertaining trip around the less celebrated of our eateries while dissecting his own fast-food addictions. The writer calculates he has eaten a running total of 6,530 or 5,128 square feet worth of pizza, mostly from Pizza Express, describing it as "for my kids … the staple food in the way that sorghum is for subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa". He also muses on the reasons for his enduring loyalty to Caffè Nero, and is very funny about that curious eating experience, the hotel breakfast. (But can it really be true, as the writer claims, that smart French bakery chain Paul is considered, in France, the equivalent only of our homely Greggs?)
Ebook original novels come both glossy and gritty this month. Dead Rich (£3.99) – from Bedford Square Books, a digital publishing venture run by high-profile agent Ed Victor – is written by Louise Fennell, who apparently moves in very glitzy circles, being married to a famous celebrity jeweller. It's a buoyant black comedy about beautiful A-listers living dissipated lives under the fascinated gaze of the media, and it comes with the firm approval of Joanna Lumley, whose "Absolutely Fabulous" alter ego Patsy would no doubt also have a good cackle.

Craft Beer
Samuel Adams Boston Lager 6 packComplex and balanced, with a beautiful hop aroma. Samuel Adams Boston Lager is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoction mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager also uses only the finest of ingredients including two row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops. The exclusive use of two row barley not only imparts a full, smooth body but also gives the beer a wide spectrum of malt flavor ranging from slightly sweet to caramel to slightly roasted. The Noble hops varieties, Hallertau Mittelfruh and Tettnang Tettnanger, add a wide range of floral, piney and citrus notes, which are present from the aroma, through the flavor, to the lingering smooth finish. We take great pride in the Noble hops used in our beers. They are hand selected by Jim Koch and our other brewers from the world's oldest hops growing area. Among the world's most expensive, they cost twenty times as much as other hops.
Shiner Bock 6 packShiner Bock is a distinctive, rich, full-flavored, deep amber-colored beer. Its handcrafted brewing process creates an inviting smooth taste without the excessive bitterness that charaterizes many micro, specialty and imported beers.
- ba74
Blue Moon Brewing Company Belgian White 15 packA wheat beer brewed with orange peel for a subtle sweetness and bright, citrus aroma. You'll notice a zesty orange fruitiness with a light spicy wheat aroma. The flavor starts crisp and tangy and ends with a coriander and orange spiciness. The Valencia orange peel gives a subtle sweetness to the beer. The oats give the beer a nice creamy body, so it's not too thin. Has a slow finish of coriander and orange spiciness. The beer's light, spicy citrus flavors pair well with seafood such as grilled shrimp, Asian dishes like pad thai, and marinated chicken dishes.
- we89
- ba78
Maine Beer Company Lunch IPAOur "East Coast" version of a West Coast-style IPA. Intense hop flavors and aromas of tropical and citrus fruits and pine dominate. A subtle malt sweetness brings the beer into balance.
Rogue Seasonal 6 pack
Maine Beer Company Mo Pale AleOur first run at an American Pale Ale. Flavors and aromas of zesty citrus, passionfruit, and pine present themselves throughout. A very subtle malt sweetness for balance, but this is intended to finish dry.
Terrapin Beer Co. Recreation Ale 12 packWrap your hand around a can of our RecreationAle and explore what outside life has to offer. This hopped up session ale is specially formulated to accompany you on all of your outdoor activities. Pack in this flavorful ale and pack out the memories while enjoying this quaffable brew.
Kentucky Ale Bourbon Barrel Ale 4 packAward winning Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale® is a unique sipping beer with the distinctive nose of a well-crafted bourbon. Our Kentucky Ale is aged for up to 6 weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky's finest distilleries. Subtle yet familiar flavors of vanilla and oak are imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrels. Pleasantly smooth and robust, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale may also be served as an aperitif or after dinner drink.
Yazoo Dos Perros 12 packMany Mexican beer styles today are descendants of old Austrian styles, from when Austria ruled Mexico in the late 19th century. Our Dos Perros is made with German Munich malt, English Pale malt, and Chocolate malt, and hopped with Perle and Saaz hops. To lighten the body, as many Mexican brewers do, we add a small portion of flaked maize. The result is a wonderfully bready malt aroma, balenced with some maize sweetness and a noble hop finish.
Memphis Made Brewing Fireside Amber 6 packBrewed with a base of Munich malt and steeped with European hops, Fireside is malty and roasty on the front end with just enough balance. This accessible and delicious amber ale goes well with a wide variety of food, including chicken, burgers and spicy cuisine.
New Belgium Voodoo Ranger IPA 6 packVisual: Light golden, bright with a little particulate, medium-thin white foam. Aroma: Pine and citrus in the fore, the citrus comprised of orange and grapefruit. Tropical fruit with lesser grassy and floral geraniol. Faint toasted bread malt note. Flavor: Lightly sweet at first with a stronger, building and perfect bitterness. Mouthfeel: Coating and warming with a clean finish. Body: Medium body.
New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA 12 packVisual: Light gold, some particulate and a substantial white foam. Aroma: Strong pine followed by citrus (grapefruit and orange) and grass, herbal hop notes and light stone fruit, graham cracker and bread dough. Flavor: Initial sweetness moving quickly to bitterness that lingers alongside a pleasing sweetness. Mouthfeel: Coating and warming. Body: Medium-full body.
Terrapin Beer Co. Watermelon Gose 6 packTerrapin's first Gose, this beer is kettle soured with Lactobacillus for a tart, but refreshing beer. Watermelon aroma and flavor is complemented with a distinct lactic tartness and saltiness that is true to style. Perfect for a hot summer day, this beer will blow any picnic out of the water…. melon! Pairings: Fresh Chevre or Camembert, Grilled oysters with garlic & paprika, Juicy, briny and delicious with a bowl of watermelon, feta, basil and balsamic salad on the side.
SweetWater Brewing Company Mango Kush 420 Strain 6 packA second sticky hit from 420 Strain, an American Wheat packed with herbal, juicy mango notes and a distinctive dank nose. Strain specific terpenes and natural hemp-type flavors complement the hop and malt bill, delivering a euphoric ale with that fresh olfactory bonus rip.
Lagunitas Phase Change 4 packPhase Change is one juicy game changer... it's an unfiltered, wet-hop ale packed full of lupulin-drenched Simcoe, Citra & Mosaic hops. But wait... wet hops in Spring? Indeed! The brewers of Lagunitas have discovered a way to keep wet hops fresh, in any season. Science!
- ba90
Garden Path Fermentation The Wet Hopped ShipSpecial Closeout Hopped Ship! This is our fresh hop beer made with Cascade and Comet hops we hand-harvested at Hop Skagit. The hops went into our coolship that night with 10 barrels of hot wort. Once cool, it fermented in an open foudre, was blended with some barrel-aged beer, and naturally conditioned with blackberry honey from The Valley's Buzz. It's 5.2% abv, with a bretty, floral nose and a gentle, not overly bitter finish. Maybe a little different than other freshies, but it was a fun beer to make and, we think, to drink.

A recent-ish post at Understanding Society leads back to this old Will Wilkinson post suggesting that the great philosopher of liberalism John Rawls was more radical than anyone gives him credit for. That's because everyone treats Rawls' difference principle — that a just society is only unequal when those inequalities benefit the worst off — as his most radical claim when, according to Wilkinson, what precedes it is actually far more radical. Here's Wilkinson:
Rawls theory of justice has two principles. According to Rawls, the requirements of the first principle absolutely must be satisfied before moving on to the second principle. The difference principle is the last half of the second principle. By the time Rawls gets to the difference principle, most of the important work has already been done.
Rawls' first principle of justice is a principle of maximum equal liberty that doesn't sound that much different from Herbert Spencer's. According to Rawls "each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with a similar liberty for others." The principle of equal liberty, and its absolute priority over matters of distribution, is what makes Rawls theory of justice liberal.
One might sensibly imagine that if all liberties matter, and that if citizens are to enjoy the most extensive liberty compatible with a similar liberty for others, then economic liberty must matter, and citizens ought to have as much of it as possible. However, Rawls specifically denies that robust economic rights and liberties are in any way implied by his first principle of justice. Economic liberties are not among our basic liberties. This is Rawls' boldest claim.
So far so good. But when Wilkinson says that Rawls must have excluded economic liberties from his first principle because "if he didn't, he wouldn't get the answer he was looking for," I can't help but wonder if that's being a bit overly glib. To be sure, Wilkinson is more well-versed in Rawls than I am, but I can still think up one or two plausible justifications for keeping economic liberties off the list of foundational political freedoms in Rawls' system.

Fourth of July Racing in Ashland, Oregon
"This event was first competed on 4th July 1977, and was called the "Senators Cup Run." The event started at Triangle Park, near Ashland High School on Siskiyou Boulevard, and included a 6-Mile Run and a bicycle race. In 1978 the start/finish was moved toward downtown Ashland, and the name of the event changed to the "Fourth of July Run". The event has always had a 6-Mile Run, but its accompanying 2-Mile (1984-1991, 1999-present) or 1-Mile (1992-1998) has changed depending on which year. The bicycle race accompanying the original event was dropped in the mid-1980s. 2009 had a little under 700 runners participate, representing 18 states and Canada as their places of residence. The 2008 race witnessed 573 total participants. There were 481 participants in 2007 and 485 in 2006."
Erik Skaggs runs hard to the finish tape on East Main Street in downtown Ashland. Skaggs captured second place in the six mile race. He finished in 32:30, 20 seconds behind the winner, Portland's Tim Julian.
RVR's Chris Rennaker hammering home. Renn overcame a tight hip issue that slowed him at the four mile mark to finish in 37:08.
Leland Fulton, Rogue Valley Runner's newest store employee, strides in the final stretch. Leland found the course to be challenging and "...really hot."
RVR runner and store employee Ian Torrence finished the hilly course in 36:20. The hamstrings are tight now!
Bob Julian Jr. kicking old style with the bandanna. Bob rounded out the top ten in an impressive field and crossed the line in 34:29.
Western States 100 Mile winner, Hal Koerner, ran the race as well. It was his first running strides since he finished Western States last weekend. He was overheard saying that he's had better runs, but it felt good being a part of Ashland's largest running race.
Check out theMailtribune's article about the race.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
For many years in this reviewer's family, various aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents would get together for one day over the Christmas holiday. These family reunions were really the only time I'd see most of these relatives, and the event was rotated from one home to another so that we'd come back to the same place only every third year or so. I hardly knew most of these people except for this annual ritual, and it was a strange, fascinating experience to see little kids grow up into adulthood and gradually have little kids of their own while older relatives got fatter and grayer, and their homes and hairstyles and fashions changed with the times. The experience wasn't so much about them as much as it was a reminder to me: I was getting older, too, and that life and aging were going on even if you didn't notice it.
That's the essence of 49 Up (2005), the superb seventh documentary (so far) that's part of a series of British television films ultimately functioning as a single, epic examination of human existence. The first film, Seven Up! (1964), was originally conceived as a left-leaning condemnation of the British class system and consisted of interviews with 14 seven-year-olds from disparate backgrounds, notably contrasting privileged children from very wealthy families attending exclusive preparatory schools with East Enders fending for themselves in an inadequate public school system. Director Michael Apted, who had been a researcher on the first documentary, went back and filmed the same children seven years later for 7 Plus Seven (1970), 21 (1977), 28 Up (1985), 35 Up (1991), and 42 Up (1998). Over time, the class issue faded into the background, partly because as they got older many of the East Enders through hard work moved into the ranks of the middle class, but mainly because Apted discovered that it was the people themselves rather than the politics of their situations that mattered most and were so compelling. Moreover, while in some ways most were clearly shaped to some degree by the benefits of wealth or the disadvantages of poverty, each subject is almost more recognizably universal by their personality - personalities that were already apparent and eerily locked into place at age seven.
Though comparisons of The Up Series** to present-day reality television is, regrettably, inevitable for most reviewers, the power of this work - and it's a power quite unlike any other in all of television/cinema - is lost on those who haven't seen it. Its subjects, 12 of whom have more or less stayed with the series up to now (though one has announced 49 Up will mark her last appearance) are mostly very uncomfortable exposing their lives so publicly. Laying bare one's awkward puberty at 14 or unattractive aging at 49 for all the world to see, to say nothing of exposing one's unhappy marriages, feelings of inadequacy, etc., decade-after-decade is a heavy cross to bear. But while many audiences initially come into the series to gawk at the participants' physical transformations and often very dramatic life changes, it soon becomes apparent that Up's audience is in fact genuinely rooting for everyone, rich and poor, the way one would for a member of the family and, more importantly, ultimately, the series isn't so much about their lives as it is about the act of living.
One of the many compelling elements of 49 Up and its predecessors is that, in one sense, when director Apted asks those off-camera questions he is in a sense asking everyone in his audience. We don't necessarily identify with one subject or another but we certainly recognize shared experiences and common emotions scattered among many of the interviewees. As someone just one Up movie away from 49 Up, it's impossible not to wonder which directions life will be heading, assuming this reviewer can make it that far.
(Mild Spoilers)
Like the varying film stock (and now digital video) used to film them, each Up movie has its own distinct personality and this is no exception. Its participants make fewer dramatic shifts in their lives this time out, as opposed to earlier films like 28 Up, when Suzy had dramatically transformed from an apparently unhappy, chain-smoking 21-year-old to a contented wife and mother by 28, or Neil, whose seemingly happy early childhood took a stark and deeply troubling turn downward from around puberty through to his mid-thirties. Perhaps the most satisfying Up movie thus far, longtime viewers will be enormously satisfied - and relieved - to find that nearly everyone involved has reached a certain contentment with their lives at 49. If there's a single word that can distinguish and best describe this Up it's this: acceptance.
Now grandparents themselves they've witnessed or are witnessing their own children having children, are coming to terms with their parents' mortality, as well as their own (with health problems introduced in 42 Up), dreams that have never come to pass while new ones take their place. All of this is utterly captivating.
Video & Audio
The Up films enter the digital age with 49 Up. Previously shot on 16mm and 35mm, the new film was produced on digital video (presumably high-def PAL) and presented here 16:9 enhanced. The PAL conversion is obvious on big screen TVs, but the image looks great otherwise. As with First Run Features' DVD of The Up Series it's not subtitled, which would have helped many non-Brits through some of the thicker accents. (It is closed-captioned, however.)
Extra Features
Supplements include an extremely intelligent interview with director Apted by film critic Roger Ebert, a longtime champion of the films who really understands what makes them so special. And it's hard not to notice that Ebert's near-constant presence on TV since the mid-1970s has functioned in a not-dissimilar way. We've spent 30 years discovering the same movies Roger has at the same time he does, and have watched him and his onetime partner Gene Siskel grow older, get sick, and in Siskel's case suddenly pass away. The 30-minute interview has awful sound, like it was recorded in a hydraulic plant, but at least you can her both men clearly. A short biography of the director and a photo gallery are also included.
Parting Thoughts
49 Up achieves something else quite transcendental: its reluctant subjects, picked more or less at random, have through this documented evolution of their lives revealed the extraordinary in the ordinary and in turn, through their universality, the extraordinariness in us all.

The Classical guitar is such a lovely complete musical instrument; all that is required is a change of strings once in a while.
Guitar and music accessories can assist us in our musical journey and in some instances the right accessory is a must have item and sometimes, just sometimes, one just wants to buy something for your hobby because it makes you feel good.
In stocking our accessories we are constantly looking for quality, for example Dynarette produced the original guitar support cushion, which, is now copied by other suppliers selling at a lower price. All well and good until you see that the quality of the Dynarette is superior as is the longevity of the Dynarette over the copies.
The Dynarette is just an example of our approach to quality; we do not have a huge selection of items, however we do stay as up to date as possible. The Sagework guitar rest which I find to be one of the best Guitar Rests I have had the pleasure of using is an example of new items being added which Selina and I have tested before being accepted into our range.

Nintendo raised the curtain on its latest videogame console, the Wii U, on Tuesday, but there was one key piece of hardware missing at its presentation — the console itself.
Instead, Nintendo used the Nokia Theater to turn the spotlight on the controller that consumers will use in a variety of ways to play games.
The white device borrows heavily from Nintendo's popular DS and newer 3DS handhelds and is the company's evolutionary answer to mobile gaming on cell phones and tablets, with its large 6.2-inch LCD touchscreen, game controls, microphone, speakers and front-facing camera.
"We hear you," said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America. "You want the same thing you always wanted. And you want something different."
Nintendo execs stressed that the device, which is compatible with Wii's other games and controllers, isn't meant to be another mobile gaming gadget, although it can be used to play games as a standalone device without a TV.
Controller's main draw is its ability to interact with games in a variety of new ways and let users fling video from its smaller screen onto a larger TV. Device essentially puts another important screen in the user's hands to play games.
The console that the controller will connect to was never mentioned during the hourlong presentation. One reason is that the new hardware won't hit store shelves until 2012 and designs have yet to be finalized.
Nintendo did not disclose the price of the system set to bow sometime during the second half of next year.
At the same time, Nintendo is likely looking to hold off on the big reveal until next year's E3 where it will be able to drum up even more buzz leading up to its launch.
While execs cleverly danced around the missing console in console in the room, the purpose of the company's message was clear: Nintendo is ready to enter the high-definition era.
Footage for a variety of titles shown on the bigscreen were rich and detailed, the kind of high-end HD graphics that are typically seen on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles, but have been lacking on the Wii since the device rolled out in 2006.
That switchover has encouraged more third-party publishers to embrace the new Wii U for their tentpole titles.
Games set to launch on Wii U include titles from Electronic Arts, THQ, Sega, Ubisoft and Warner Bros., including "Batman: Arkham City," "Lego City Stories," "Assassin's Creed" "Darksiders II," "Dirt," "Aliens: Colonial Marines," "Future Soldier," "Metro: Last Light," "Tekken" and "Ninja Gaiden III."
"This is a better platform than we've ever been offered by Nintendo," said John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts. "We can't wait to see EA games on this new system."
Nintendo has long used its Wii to target casual gamers, but is going out of its way to emphasize that it hopes to lure back core gamers with Wii U, especially with more mature fare like horror games, fighters and sports titles.
"Some hardware is seen as only appropriate for the most passionate players," said Satoru Iwara, global president of Nintendo. "Others, like Wii, they say, seem to attract a large number of casual gamers. As an industry, what we haven't achieved yet is a game platform that is equally satisfying for all players. This is exactly what we intend to create with our new platform."
The company also showcased a number of tentpole titles — "Super Mario 3D," "Mario Kart 3D," "Luigi's Mansion 2," a new "Star Fox" title and a remake of the NES classic "Kid Icarus" — for its 3DS handheld system, which has seen sales stumble since its launch in March. The games should provide the handheld with a significant sales boost this holiday.
The company also has big plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its "Legend of Zelda" franchise.
3DS owners will feel the love immediately, with a free download of "The Legend ofZelda: Link's Awakening" in the just launched eShop. Next week, the 3DS exclusive remake of the classic "Ocarina of Time" hits stores. And by the end of the year, "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" will be out for the Wii. In September, DSi owners will be able to freely download the four-player co-op game "The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords."
And, to highlight the series' integral music, Nintendo said it plans to release two CDs of music to the game — and will have a series of global symphony performances dedicated solely to the game.

The problems for these solutions are on
page 5 of BGJ 66.
This month's problems are on page 3.
Richard Granville summarises the answers of our panel of experts to competition number 4.
BGJ had a summary of replies for each problem listed here. It has been split to put each summary with the relevant problem. The original article used coordinates (such as K10) for most of this article. It has been altered to use marked up diagrams for the EBGJ.
You might wish to open a second window beside the first one to view Dia X1 whilst reading the text in the first window.
Marks for various white moves.
Diagram 1
Diagram X1
The first position appears complex, but is not really so.
Manning: "This game has seen a complicated joseki (the 'Taisha') in the lower left peter out into a sort of stalemate; both Black and White have weak groups, but neither can be profitably attacked at present. White would appear to be slightly behind; if he uses sente to strengthen himself at Q, Black will respond at E or D."
Diagram 2
Since Q is 'too slow', he goes on to prefer the pressing move, C, to the outer attachment at B, and suggests Dia 2 is good enough for White. Two other panelists agree the top left is the place to play, but prefer to make a kikashi (forcing move) first.
Macfadyen: "An important feature of this position is black's possible cut at L. At present the ladder works for white, but if it later becomes unfavourable, white will have difficulty saving his three stone group including . White should play so as to minimise the effect of a ladder breaker in the top left."
"I recommend G, when black's best reply is probably 'honte' (the honest move) at H. White can then continue at C. G is a light stone and a ladder breaker, so black can't easily cut at L. White could try A or B immediately, but the ladder will remain a thorn in his side."
Roads: "White needs to develop his stone in the top left. Black's left side group has a weak spot at F, and I think White should play there at once, threatening J. If black defends at H, white continues at A, with F/H having become an excellent forcing exchange."
RG: Since both the previous panelists mentioned A, I have awarded points for it; in fact this was also the move I chose in the game. However two other panelists favoured the bottom right as the place to play.
Timmins: "Black's lower group is likely to escape, so an attack on the lower right corner or a splitting attack around about U looks imminent. White should play Q, which defends one of his groups (against eg black S). White's centre group is not in danger, since it has plenty of space to run away."
Diagram 3
Thompson: "White can't get a satisfactory result in the top left: eg if A, the sequence in Dia 3 leaves his stones overconcentrated. Therefore he should make a shimari (enclosure) at R. If black attacks the stone, he should treat it lightly."
RG: I cannot agree with either comment: White's position in Dia 3 is strong, rather than overconcentrated. Second, if white wants to treat his stones at the top lightly, he should play around K. Finally, white's groups at the bottom are in no danger. A black play at U is gote, and does not even let black play the hane and connection at T in sente. Moves around Q are big, but not urgent.
Two other panelists also differ with our strongest player.
Smith: "The move that springs to mind is M. It builds thickness, so will help white tackle any problems black creates elsewhere. If black extends, white keeps pushing. "
Shepperson: "M is the vital point of influence for both sides, any other move is pedestrian by comparison. It strengthens the centre and weakens black's group below. Black is almost forced to answer at N to prevent white playing a double hane at N and P."
"But if black gets to play M first, white's centre position begins to look thin and the right hand side is in danger of turning into black territory."
The answer to problem 3 can be found on page 11.

Fact: It takes at least 2 hours to write a good composition. Alright, you might be very talented and you might have all the experience in the world. However, this does not mean that you can create a good text in only a few minutes, no matter how much you try. You will simply not have enough time to arrange your ideas in the right way, and if you read your composition again you will discover that many things don't fit. Most of the teachers believe that you need at least 2 hours to write something really good, and much more than this if you aim for an A+.
Truth: All students can write in good way. Yes, that's right, even the ones who never wrote something before. It's all about practice and how much time you dedicate to improve your skills. If you take everything in easy way, you will probably never learn how to write a good piece. On the other hand if you spend some time every week writing something, soon enough you will be the best writer in your class.

Tales of Symphonia (ToS) was a magical experience for many Gamecube owners. An epic gameplay offering and collection of characters who were easy to fall in love with, along with a battle system that defined action-RPG, made Symphonia a tale destined to leave its mark on many. With Dawn of the New World, fans get a chance to go back to the now-reunited worlds of Sylvarant and Tethealla and experience an all-new adventure on Wii.
The story in New World takes place about two years after the events of the first game, and though each of the main characters from the original Symphonia play a somewhat integral role here, its Emil and Marta who take center stage. Emil is a young boy from Palmacosta who, after witnessing the death of his parents at the hand of Lloyd Irving, is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Luin. He eventually meets up with Marta, a girl on the run from the newly formed Vanguard (a group of Sylvaranti rebels fighting against the now oppressive Tetheallan regime), and Emil ultimately makes a pact to protect Marta with his life.
Gone are the Summon Spirits (well, not entirely) of the first game. New World takes a slightly different approach, one that allows you to recruit monsters to aid you in battle. Yup, thats right. However, dont concern yourself too much with the notion that Tales has gone Pokémon. Though there are quite a few elements lifted right out of both Pokémon and Dragon Quest Monsters, New World still plays very much as a Tales game, and your characters remain the driving force in battle.
In lieu of Summon Spirits, the game introduces new powers called the Centurions. Like the Summon Spirits, however, the Centurions are aligned with the elements of the world, and each oversees a specific aspect of it. When you meet Marta, she is accompanied by Tenebrae, the Centurion of Darkness. You play as Emil, and both Marta and Tenebrae will journey with you throughout the game. The adventure will take you back to many of the old haunts from the first game, though a lot has been added to make the experience feel new.
New World is an action-RPG, and if you havent played the first game, well, heres the scoop: When traveling throughout dungeons, monsters will patrol various areas; if you run into one or one runs into you, youll enter battle. When youre moving about dungeons or towns, you only have control over one character, but during battles, up to four people can play together.
Youll have the option of setting characters to Auto (completely A.I. controlled), Semi-Auto (some functions, such as guarding, are done automatically) or Manual. Like the first ToS, battlefields are three-dimensional, though youll move along a 2D plane. However, borrowing from Tales of the Abyss, New World has added the Free Roam ability, which allows you to move in any direction while holding down the Z button (which also acts as the guard button when not moving the analog stick).
Combat is pretty straight-forward, but like the last game, theres plenty of room to add depth to the experience. Youll use both the Wii-mote and Nunchuk, and basic attacks are performed by pressing the A button. Most moves and attacks are mapped the same as they were in the last game, and Techs, now known as Artes (also lifted from Abyss), are executed using the B button and control stick. You can set shortcuts with the D-pad and jump by pressing up on the control stick.

and Cro-Magnon Man
The Collapse of the Family Tree
Latest Evidence: Sahelanthropus tchadensis

The Secret History of Homo sapiens
and Footprints
Darwin put
forward his claim that human beings and apes descended from
a common ancestor in his book The Descent of Man,
published in 1871. From that time until now, the followers
of Darwin's path have tried to support this claim. But despite
all the research that has been carried out, the claim of "human
evolution" has not been backed up by any concrete scientific
discovery, particularly in the fossil field.
The man in the street is for the most part unaware
of this fact, and thinks that the claim of human evolution
is supported by a great deal of firm evidence. The reason
for this incorrect opinion is that the subject is frequently
discussed in the media and presented as a proven fact. But
real experts on the subject are aware that there is no scientific
foundation for the claim of human evolution. David Pilbeam,
a Harvard University paleoanthropologist, says:
If you brought in a
smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the
meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there
isn't enough to go on."181
If you brought in a
smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the
meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there
isn't enough to go on."181
And William Fix, the author of an important book
on the subject of paleoanthropology, makes this comment:
As we have seen, there
are numerous scientists and popularizers today who have
the temerity to tell us that there is 'no doubt' how man
originated. If only they had the evidence...182

are numerous scientists and popularizers today who have
the temerity to tell us that there is 'no doubt' how man
originated. If only they had the evidence...182
This claim of evolution, which
"lacks any evidence," starts the human family tree with a
group of apes that have been claimed to constitute a distinct
genus, Australopithecus. According to the claim, Australopithecus
gradually began to walk upright, his brain grew, and he passed
through a series of stages until he arrived at man's present
state (Homo sapiens). But the fossil record does not support
this scenario. Despite the claim that all kinds of intermediate
forms exist, there is an impassable barrier between the fossil
remains of man and those of apes. Furthermore, it has been
revealed that the species which are portrayed as each other's
ancestors are actually contemporary species that lived in
the same period. Ernst Mayr, one of the most important proponents
of the theory of evolution in the twentieth century, contends
in his book One Long Argument that "particularly historical
[puzzles] such as the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are
extremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying
But what is the basis for the human evolution
thesis put forward by evolutionists? It is the existence of
plenty of fossils on which evolutionists are able to build
imaginary interpretations. Throughout history, more than 6,000
species of ape have lived, and most of them have become extinct.
Today, only 120 species live on the earth. These 6,000 or
so species of ape, most of which are extinct, constitute a
rich resource for the evolutionists.
On the other hand, there are considerable differences
in the anatomic makeup of the various human races. Furthermore,
the differences were even greater between prehistoric races,
because as time has passed the human races have to some extent
mixed with each other and become assimilated. Despite this,
important differences are still seen between different population
groups living in the world today, such as, for example, Scandinavians,
African pygmies, Inuits, native Australians, and many others.
There is no evidence to show that the fossils
called hominid by evolutionary paleontologists do not actually
belong to different species of ape or to vanished races of
humans. To put it another way, no example of a transitional
form between mankind and apes has been found.
After these general explanations, let us now
examine the human evolution hypothesis together.

(visited by randall sherman, Don Don Lamaran and Karen Abique)
03-Jun-2009 -- Using Google Earth, I identified the whole degree confluence at 7 North / 126 East as being possible by day trip from Davao, the largest city on the Island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines where my fiancee Karen lives. I marked Jun 3rd on my itinerary and although we used my fiancee's car, we hired our usual driver, Dennis, to do the actual pothole dodging -- roads in the Philippines take so long to build (years!) that the beginning is pounded into pieces by the ridiculously overweight trucks and speeding buses long before the end is completed so "repair" is perpetual (I first noticed this pothole phenomenon on my first visit to Mindanao in 1964 and nothing has changed).
Unlike my previous confluence visit (to 8N126E) where I had a local police chief with me, my initial plan for this visit was to wing it trusting only to the GPS and common sense. However, as we parked, my 6-0 260 lb frame attracted the attention of the Barangay Captain who just happened to be building a new school house a few hundred feet away. After introducing myself and explaining my purpose by showing him I wanted my GPS to read all zeros, he not only authorized our traipsing around among the coconut trees and caribou wallows but offered to walk along with us.
From our parking spot, the GPS showed about 1 km to the confluence but the direction was somewhat across the grain of the drainage so we had to jump or skip from rock to rock several time to cross small water courses. About 1/2 way there we followed up the seam between two hillocks passing a caribou and her calf along the way. The area of the confluence is open and generally flat except for the current and former wallows. The former ones were heavily overgrown with low weeds and vines and very hard to see or avoid but never the less muddy and wet when accidentally stepped into!
Perhaps because the tall vegetation was coconut trees with narrow trunks and just a cluster of fronds, the Garmin GPS Map 60CSx easily locked onto and tracked 8 satellites. However, there was some drift and even though I stood stationary in the initially indicated spot, at times the "goto" screen showed the confluence to be as much as 30 feet (10 meters) away before it finally settled down indicating a precision of 11 feet (4 meters).
We chatted a bit and took the required photos before heading back. This area is very nondescript with hillocks and coconuts marching off in all directions. It was very confusing and even Don Don was grateful for the guidance of the GPS to make our return. However, once we were close to his school building project, he guided us away from the streams and to a single crossing where he had his workers lay several planks from bank to bank so we could balance our way across. After thanking Don Don and contributing some peso to him and his crew for their after work "snack," Karen and I returned to the car and found Dennis had had a nice nap! Before closing this narrative I need to extend kudos to Karen as she was a last minute addition and easily hopped, skipped and jumped the streams and puddles in good spirits wearing only sandals--amazing girl!

John Shirreffs will always be best known as the trainer of Zenyatta but he has also captured the Kentucky Derby with Giacomo and has conditioned numerous other stakes winners including Bertrando, Harmonious, Life Is Sweet, and Tiago. This year, he will attempt to win the Preakness Stakes with late bloomer Mr. Commons.
The Artie Schiller colt owns a solid grass pedigree and after a schooling run in his synthetic sprint bow he dusted promising Julio Canani trainee Akkadian in a downhill turf event at Santa Anita on January 15.
Mr. Commons moved to the Santa Anita main track in his first start versus winners and a victory in that flat mile affair was enough to earn him a shot in the Santa Anita Derby. He rallied from 6th to land the show in the latter event and was briefly considered for the Kentucky Derby but did not have the graded earnings to make the gate on the first Saturday in May.
All of his workouts have occurred at his Hollywood Park home base and his last three seven furlong moves have been geared toward building his stamina. His future probably lies on turf and the 2011 Santa Anita Derby was not the strongest renewal but John Shirreffs is a patient trainer and realistically spots his horses so it might be wise to use Mr. Commons on your Preakness tickets.

UC Santa Cruz chancellor jumps to her death in S.F.
2006-06-24 19:50:20 PDT -- UC Santa Cruz Chancellor Denice Denton, apparently despondent over work and personal issues, died Saturday after she jumped from the roof of a 42-story San Francisco apartment building, police said. Denton's partner, Gretchen Kalonji, has an apartment in the building, property records show.
Denton, a well-regarded engineer, had been named this spring in a series of articles examining UC management compensation. She had been criticized for an expensive university-funded renovation on her campus home, and for obtaining a UC administrative job for Kalonji.
Denton, 46, died Saturday morning after jumping from the Paramount at Mission and Third streets, police said. The building is advertised as San Francisco's tallest luxury rental apartment building. A guest at the nearby Argent Hotel called authorities at 8:17 a.m. to report a body on the roof of a parking structure below the apartment building, police said. The medical examiner ruled her death a suicide.
Denton had been on medical leave from the university since June 15 and was expected to return to work this week, said UC Santa Cruz spokesman Jim Burns. She was absent from the university's commencement exercises last week because she was not feeling well, he said.
Denton's mother, Carolyn Mabee, was in the apartment building at the time of her death, police said. She told authorities that her daughter was "very depressed" about her professional and personal life.
In a statement issued Saturday evening, UC President Robert Dynes said Denton's death is "a tremendous loss for the entire University of California family."
"Denice was an accomplished and passionate scholar whose life and work demonstrated a deep commitment to public service and to improving opportunity for the disadvantaged and underrepresented," the statement said. "She was a person of enthusiasm, of big ideas, of tremendous energy, and of great promise. In a relatively short time at UC Santa Cruz, she began moving on ambitious plans for the campus and emerged as an important voice in national higher education issues."
Kalonji, who was hired as director of international strategy development in the UC Office of the President in Oakland as part of Denton's recruitment package, was returning this evening from Washington, D.C., where she had been on university business, UC spokesman Michael Reese said. Denton had been provided a 2,680-square-foot home on the UC Santa Cruz campus, the subject of a story in a Chronicle series this spring examining perks and pay in the UC system.
Before she moved into her university-provided house on campus in 2005, she asked for dozens of improvements -- everything from a new fence for her dogs to new wiring, speakers, amplifier and CD player for a built-in sound system, according to university documents. In all, a $600,000 upgrade was made to the home, though it is not clear how many of the improvements were at Denton's request. Denton's annual salary was $282,000.
As a result of that and other spending disclosed in the media, Dynes tightened rules for renovation projects at university-owned homes and the offices of top executives.
In 2005, UC unions protested the hiring of Kalonji, a former University of Washington professor of materials science, into a $192,000 UC management position. UC also provided Kalonji, then Denton's partner of seven years, a housing assistance allowance of up to $50,000.
Denton assumed office on Feb. 14, 2005. In addition to holding the top post at the 15,000-student campus, Denton was a professor of electrical engineering, according to the school's Web site.
Shortly before taking the Santa Cruz post, Denton made national news for confronting Harvard President Lawrence Summers after he insinuated in a talk that women might be less science-prone for genetic reasons. Denton was in the room when Summers made the controversial comment.
UC Santa Cruz Campus Provost David Kliger issued a statement Saturday evening calling Denton's death a "tremendous loss."
"During Chancellor Denton's tenure here, she devoted herself toward strengthening UC Santa Cruz," he wrote. "Those of us who worked closely with Denice valued her intelligence, humor, and commitment to the ideals of diversity and higher education. We are deeply saddened by her death."
Kliger said Denton was a woman who dedicated her life and career to helping young people, especially women and minorities, advance in the field of science.
"She led this campus with clear statements of the importance of education in transforming lives and in creating opportunities for all," Kliger wrote. "She herself had lived that experience, rising from modest means to achieve with distinction at every stage in her life."
Kliger will manage the campus operations in the wake of Denton's death until Dynes appoints a new chancellor, Reese said.
"But we are so not even thinking about that right now," Reese said.
A manager at the Paramount apartments, which sits directly across the street from the new Museum of the African Diaspora, declined to comment Saturday.
Residents of the building said units rent for $3,000 to $9,000 a month. On the top floor, residents have access to an open-air rooftop terrace. The parking structure where Denton's body was found can be seen below.
Denton previously was the dean of the College of Engineering and a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Washington. She was the first woman to hold such a position at a top research university, according to her biography on the UC Santa Cruz Web site.
News of Denton's death reached her former colleagues at the University of Washington on Saturday evening.
"I never expected this," said Mani Soma, acting dean of the school's college of engineering, which Denton previously ran. "She was an outstanding performer here, and we were extremely glad to have her."
Soma said Denton was known as a hard worker who had very high standards. Some former colleagues were in tears when they learned of her death through news reports, he said.
"I learned a lot from her," Soma said. "She expected people to perform, and she also worked like crazy. She really set an example."
Denton received a doctorate in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She also held academic appointments at the University of Massachusetts, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and the University of Wisconsin- Madison, the UC Santa Cruz Web site said.
She recently won a prestigious national prize called the Maria Mitchell Women in Science Award, which recognized her work in developing programs to encourage women and girls to study science.
