Khyber Indian Fusion's Goa-born chef swirls the flavors of various savory Indian dishes together into a single menu. A charcoal-fueled oven imparts a hint of its smokiness and all of its long-winded stories to the chicken malai kebab, a roasted poultry dish marinated in almond, fresh cream, and signature herbs ($11.99). Golden orbs of fried veggie dumplings languor in a mild manchurian sauce ($10.49), and curry leaves and coconut batter freshwater shellfish in a Goan-style curry ($15.99). The Mumtaaz goat biryani simmers cubes of its titular meat over a tame fire with basmati rice and indian herbs ($14.49) for a slow-cooked dish that leaves tongues as happy as a clown at a makeup counter.
Executive chef Vipul Bhasin brings more than 18 years of global cooking experience to Coriander. Eschewing many modern marvels of meal making, Bhasin cooks his cuisine with traditional Indian appliances such as the tandoor oven, the kadai cast-iron pot, and the Aishwarya Rai smoldering gaze in his one-man quest to put microwave repairmen out of work. This passion for tradition is reflected in Coriander's décor: adorning the brightly painted walls are handmade tapestries representing different regions of India, including an astonishingly lifelike one that resembles a parking lot outside an Indian restaurant (look closely and it almost seems to move). Patrons can also unfurl the bamboo blinds between each of the restaurant's booths for a stronger secret-sharing shield than stage whispering.
Bombay Local Pizza's chefs put a twist on Italy's beloved dish by adding Indian ingredients like paneer. The restaurant's selection of more than 20 pies includes a pizza topped with samosa filling and the Bombay Masala?seasoned with Indian spices used in traditional street foods?along with more traditional options such as tomato basil and white pizzas. Indian ingredients like mint-coriander chutney also show up on the eatery's sub sandwiches, which include the masala eggplant and the barbecue cheddar melt.
Indian cuisine made with seasonal ingredients and an American flair.
Sample Menu
When to Go: Swing by on a Thursday night if you fancy live sitar and tabla music, but go any other night if you prefer humming your own tunes while you chew.
Inside Tip: The restaurant is BYOB, so pick up your favorite bottle of wine or six-pack of beer before dinner.
Vocab Lesson
Chaat: savory Indian snack food made of potatoes, fried bread, and a spice medley that typically includes dried mango powder, cumin seeds, and black salt.
Paneer: a fresh cheese made from boiling cow's milk or water buffalo's milk and curdling it with whey—the dish dates back to at least 6,000 BC.
While You're in the Neighborhood
Before: Test your crafting skills at All Fired Up (602 Haddon Avenue), a studio devoted to paint-your-own pottery.
After: See what's happening at the Scottish Rite Auditorium (315 White Horse Pike), a historic 1930s venue that hosts musical acts and theater performances.
If You Can't Make It, Try This: If you're in Philly for the evening, head to Indeblue's sister location (205 S. 13th Street).
Voted top five in the Best Indian category of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 CityVoter awards, Laxmi's Indian Grille serves a range of dishes?from spicy meats to subtle vegetable stews?designed to please all palates. A perfume of fresh ginger, rose water, and house-made cottage cheese drifts from the bustling kitchen out into the dining room of the Main Street location, where vibrant paintings provide an elegant contrast to walls of rustic exposed stone. At both Main Street and the newly minted Tilden Street eatery, a clay tandoor oven is kept aflame throughout the day, enabling chefs to bake breads, meats, and underripe bananas to a golden patina.
Every morning at Jazmin Restaurant, chefs load morsels of freshly kneaded naan dough into the tandoor oven. The aroma of baking bread soon fills the dining room, mingling with the heady scents of curry and cumin that waft from grills sizzling with halal chicken and lamb. Chefs also flaunt seven vegetarian entrees that swap meat for lighter ingredients such as homemade cheese and lentils. To contrast the savory dishes, dining companions can share traditional Indian desserts of mango ice cream and mango custard, which stand as evidence of the mango's worth beyond its inclusion in fruit hats.

- Pleasantly SurprisedFrankVIPDined on 8/30/2014We previously dined here a couple of times, when vacationing in Marco Island, when it was Capt. Brien's. I was confused when I received an email reminder w/ the name change, but googled the article which explained the new ownership. We were pleasantly surprised. The appetizers and meal were excellent and the service was outstanding. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Marco Island.Special Features:
- Best food on the island2dineforDined on 8/1/2014Wanted seafood so googled and Capt Brien's came up in the top 10. Read great reviews, so thought we would try it. Walking distance from our hotel was convenient. Sat us right away and we had our drinks in under 2 minutes. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We ordered seafood and land lubber items, all of which were outstanding. It was so good we ate there the next night too. Highly recommend for service and great food. Only minor drawback was very noisy due to several large groups dining with children. Still enjoyed ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good FoodTerriODined on 4/16/2014This is one of many restaurants in a shopping area. There is indoor and outdoor dining. Menu has lots to choose from. There were 6 of us, each had something different and it was very good. I'd return.Special Features:
- OTR nervouseatingforothersDined on 2/19/2014I was in town for a conference at the Marriott. Never been to Marco before and wanted to entertain a large group including customers my group wants to gain business. First Capt Briens was able to handle large groups which was great. Second the server did an admirable job handling a party of 15 alone. Third the menu had variety as I had a few non- seafood lovers in the group so something for everyone. And finally the food was great. Everyone without exception said their meal was excellent. And price was reasonably. Most important it created an atmosphere where we could discuss business and enjoy ourselves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedmemaDined on 2/13/2014Lobster bisque was the best of everything that my husband and I ordered, his New England clam chowder was watery and not many clams. I had macadamia encrusted mahi mahi and it was tasteless, pallea was just ok. Will not be going back.
- Old FoggieOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/9/2014Food was excellent and reasonably priced. The young staff was friendly, efficient, and worthy of a big tip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingPeggyVIPDined on 2/3/2014They did not have our reservation but did seat us immediately when we mentioned Open Table. They were only about 1/3 full anyway. Our server was attentive, however was not aware of any specials that were published in the web. No knowledge nor confidence. The entertainer was so loud we couldn't hear each other. He was a decent guitarist but his voice was not good enough to dominate our conversations with each other and the wait staff.
- Great Oysters. Christie, ourDanTDined on 1/28/2014Great Oysters. Christie, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Also, great outdoor atmosphereSpecial Features:
- They did not have our reservation!OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 1/17/2014They did not have our reservation! They were able to accommodate us, however. It could have been bad because I was entertaining special guests.
- Great service!!!!! Many options.MaxFish10Dined on 1/11/2014Great service!!!!! Many options. Good choice of sides such as a sweet potato and baked beans. Willing to accommodate health restrictions. Reasonable prices and large portions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- old school fish mkt eateryplazaeaterVIPDined on 1/2/2014Wait staff was very friendly gave great menu recommendations, sat outside and really enjoyed the casual setting. Food included all the old school favorites, was very fresh and tasty. Good value and good place for families to eat seafood in outdoor setting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just what we wantedWendyt619Dined on 1/2/2014We went to Captain Brien's for dinner on our last night of vacation. My husband really wanted a good seafood dinner to end our trip. The restaurant is family-friendly, as we had our one-year-old son with us. There is a good selection of kids meals and they are very reasonably priced. I had the scallop dinner with the sweet potato and broccoli. Everything was delicious. My husband had a combo platter and it was just what he was looking for. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us prompt attention. We were there at approximately 6:00 and it was not very busy inside the restaurant. A lot of people were sitting in outdoor seating when we left though. Overall great experience, definitely a place we would visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food quality and presentationBrunetteDined on 12/31/2013But lackluster service and our meals were only warm. The metal chairs are uncomfortable and make a lot of loud scraping noise.
- Great outdoor diningGrantsterDined on 12/27/2013Outstanding outdoor atmosphere with great food. Raw bar and seafood are fresh and awesome. Always go here when we are in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible serviceLobsterDined on 12/25/2013Took over an hour to get our food. Everyone seated close to us experienced the same. Had to get up and refill our own water glasses. Several people just gave up and left. Restaurant was filled at approx 75% capacity. Charged an "extra plate" fee of $3 because we shared our food!Special Features:
- Fun spot on marcoOnesarVIPDined on 12/25/2013Great pick for us. The place was bustling, on Christmas. Located in a strip mall, w/ several oher dining options. us! Not sure all working were true wait staff, etc, as service was extremely slow. A live band w/ steel drum was so fun. The ambiance made it light and happy to be there- as it's loud. The tuna tartare has a great presentation & tastes delicious. Other items seemed "slopped" on a plate. I had the shrimp salad, it was fine- large shrimp. The lobster tails looked better- next time I will get that & something from the raw bar. I'd definitely return, if given more time on the island.Special Features:
- Long wait mediocre foodMikeVIPDined on 12/25/2013My family recently dined at Capt. Brien's. I don't anticipate returning. The kitchen must have been short staffed. Appetizers took 45 minutes to arrive and entree's took 1 hr. 10 minutes. The manager seemed to be aware of the problems and complaints and his response was to high tail to his office. Our server was apologetic and made frequent trips looking for his orders.
- BlahhhfoodismyweaknessDined on 12/20/2013Went to marco island on a mini vacay with my husband. we had a craving for seafood and oysters... Service was good, and fast. We had the oysters which were awesome and fresh. My husband got the surf and turf with shrimp; the tenderloin was soooo tender melt in your mouth good the shrimp was blahhh. I got the crab cakes with mashed potatoes and vegetables---black beans with crab cakes (dry, full of breadcrumbs) i didnt enjoy it, mashed potatoes that taste like they were box made and the broccoli was cold. Maybe there are other things on the menu that are good but my overall review is..BlahhhSpecial Features:
- First Time visit...will come againWoodyDined on 12/10/2013Celebrating my birthday my wife and I chose Captain Briens on Marco Island. I loved the Malpeque Oysters freshly shucked and had perhaps the best grouper ever (served crunchy). My wife's shrimp salad was excellent as well. Our server Lexi and her assistant were attentive, capable and not intrusive. We will come again. WSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great serviceGrantsterDined on 11/30/2013Great food, great service and the entertainment was top notch.Special Features:
- Good 1st, OK 2nd - waiter was badVisitorVIPDined on 11/26/2013We had a group of 8... 4 adults, 4 kids (3-10). Our first visit we were seated outside almost immediately and the wait staff was great. She was attentive and really went the extra step to accommodate us and the kids. Food was pretty good - great kids menu. We decided to return the next night - as it was convenient and the kids menu. We were seated inside... And right off the bat the waiter really didn't want much to do with us. Was borderline rude when my wife tried to over a cocktail by telling her "you don't want that, I will come back". Overall he just seemed to be bitter and extra inattentive... Our guess was he was too worried about only getting the automatic 18% tip for this size of a party. Sad really.Special Features:
- Capt.Brien's personal serviceLarryDined on 9/21/2013We showed up for an 8:00PM reservartion on a Saturday night and was told that inside seating was avbailable only if you paid for the comedy show $48.00/couple. Upon expressing my displeasure of this we were approached by a gentlemen by the name of JJ who said he was the owner. JJ listened to me and personally found us a table in side at N/C where we enjoyed specialty martinis and great seafood. Thanks JJ for making a good businesss decisicion and keeping this customer happy.Special Features:
- Excellent food and entertainment!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/12/2013We went there for the comedy club and wasn't sure what to expect. Excellent food with so many choices!!! So glad we went!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had supper along with amacnatDined on 7/26/2013We had supper along with a comedy show. What a great combination !! Food is very good !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The fish was very fresh. WeEatBVIPDined on 7/7/2013The fish was very fresh. We sat outside. There is something very uncomfortable about the ambience inside. It smells too fishy and stale.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun with good foodBzzzzDined on 7/3/2013Captain Brien's exceeded my expectations. From first looks, I figured this would be another "everything tastes the same and is frozen" sort of place. We were nicely greeted by one of two managers right off the bat. Our server was excellent, checking in on us the whole night and staying on top of refills and clearing plates. The food was fresh and flavorful. We had oysters, two of the combo plates, and a fresh fish dinner. Good portion size and good quality of food. We took home a few desserts, key lime pie and coconut cake. Both were excellent. If I had to be picky, my complaint would be the use of fake whip cream. Otherwise, good flavor and both moist and yummy. Would not hesitate to come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedChefzVIPDined on 6/24/2013My kids and I tried this restaurant. It was convenient to the Hilton and the menu sounded very appealing. We started with the lobster dip. It was not chunky and we didn't see any lobster in it. The chips were also soggy. The scallops were excellent. The grilled grouper was very bland. The broccoli was very tasty. The shrimp scampi was the biggest disappointment. The shrimp were large and looked delicious. It was overpowered with lemon and the pasta was mushy. My kids didn't want me to complain while I was there, but it was definitely a lot of wasted money. Also, service was extremely slow.Special Features:
- Captain Brien's was a funCindyVIPDined on 5/15/2013Captain Brien's was a fun place for a group dinner. The grouper was terrific and a favorite according to the waiter. All in our group thought the food was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We made a reservation forOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 5/11/2013We made a reservation for Captain Briens on a Saturday night. There was not any notification that outdoor seating would be the only tables available. There is a comedy show inside. Fortunately, the weather was good but I really didn't want to be outside. Our server was very nice but seemed to be overworked. She always said that she would be right back but it normally took 10 or more minutes for her to reappear. The menu has a variety of seafood choices and the prices are reasonable for the area. Our food was good but not great. I'd try it again but not on Saturday.I would recommend this to a friend.
- best seafood everchristinaaaa2Dined on 4/29/2013We had a great time here. I cannot find good seafood just anywhere, the server recommended a few dishes and i picked the grouper, usually grouper is not as fresh as i may want it to be but boy was this grouper fresh. I got it blackened and my boyfriend got it coconut style. holy cow what a great dish. Definitely recommend checking this place out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AWESOME!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/29/2013We came in yesterday for dinner and we liked it so much, that we are bringing some friends back this weeekend for the show. The server we had was so sweet, and so prompt. It took us a while to order because they have a gigantic selection of seafood! The way they decorated the entire place is really cool too! Unlike any other place ive seen. I loved it, can't wait to go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mY RESERVATION NEVER REACHEDallanDined on 4/24/2013mY RESERVATION NEVER REACHED THEM. sOME OTHERS WHO MADE RESERVATIONS THRIOUGH YOU HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!
- So GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/22/2013Captain Brien's was a great find for my family and I. They have an extensive drink menu and the food was better than I expected. It has a spacious inside and ample outdoor dining space. Our waiter was not only incredibly polite and diligent but also adorable. I feel like our food took less than 10 minutes to come out and that included 3 entrees. There is a stage in there as well as it doubles as a comedy club. The hostess told me some pretty big names come here. I'll definitely be coming back to see a show soon-it's only about 30 min from Naples. Anyway, everyone should come here when on Marco! It's awesome!Special Features:
- great raw barOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/11/2013We stopped by for lunch and although the inside decor looked pretty neat, we decided to sit outside because of the beautiful weather. Very nice waitress with knowledge of the menu. We started with two dozen blue point oysters, and I really could of just had raw seafood for lunch, they were so good! I got the gulf coast chop salad with shrimp, and I'd go back for it again. My husband got the grouper sandwich and was very happy. We had a table of 6 and everyone left happy, which is always a rare but good occurrence. we will definitely be back next time we spend the day in MarcoSpecial Features:
- Avoid the trapOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 4/5/2013A Joe's Crab Shack in Topeka would be better and have fresher seafood than this trap.
- Completely horribleEmmaRVIPDined on 4/1/2013Dreadful food. Cheap ingredients, v small portions of the fresh fish, badly cooked, overpriced. Not one happy diner from our party of 8. V expensive. $400 for 2 families no desserts and only 3 starters. Really don't go it's terrible.

Film Review: 'In the loop'
Date: August 20, 2009
by: Pam Nadon
Political satires are a tough sell on the big screen. Films such as "Wag the Dog" and "Primary Colors" never came close to the genius that fueled Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" in 1964. But writer/director Armando Iannucci's first feature film, "In the Loop," is on the right track because it watches Washington spin and sell the insanities of war.
Presumably, the film takes place just prior to the Iraqi invasion. Simon Foster, the British minister of international development (Tom Hollander, "Valkyrie"), has given an interview to the BBC in which he states, "War is unforeseeable." The comment enrages Malcolm Tucker, the prime minister's director of communications, (Peter Capaldi) who ships Foster and his neophyte assistant off to Washington to make amends with the State Department.
Because Foster is a dove, he's targeted by Assistant Secretary of Diplomacy Karen Clarke (Mimi Kennedy) and her former lover/pacifist, four-star Lt. Gen. George Miller (James Gandolfini, aka Tony Soprano). Hopes of using him in their anti-war movement are dashed when pro-war State Department official Linton Barwick (David Rasche,"Burn Before Reading") digs up some dirt. He's the guy who uses a live grenade as a paperweight.
Having said all that, "In the Loop" is seriously funny. Razor-sharp dialogue is delivered by a master class of actors. Favorite moments are scenes between Gandolfini and Kennedy, whose intimate past history is evident in their incredible body language. Hollander demonstrates serious star power while he tackles a major range of emotions. Capaldi's relentless bile-spewing profanity was a tad over-the-top, so rapid-fire I missed much of it.
As Iannucci explores the lunacy of pettiness existing among technocrats within government circles, he spares no one. Liberals and conservatives are just as smarmy. And never does he allow the veneer of comedy belie what lies beneath. War, no matter where or why it's manufactured, always takes a grievous toll.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
First initiative- The Value of Relationships:
We will take new practical steps to develop an atmosphere where personal, deepening, supportive, faith-building relationships of love are highly valued as expressions of our passion for the supremacy of God's love.
What is a Shepherd Group?
Gatherings of 6-12 people, led by trained lay-leaders, that meet in one another's homes to know and experience God, offer accountability and instruction, and export faith into the world.
Why do we have Shepherd Groups?
They are the primary place for pastoral care in this large congregation, the main means of biblical togetherness.
What are distinctives of Bethlehem Shepherd Groups?
- Less than 12 people in size
- Balance worship, Bible study, sharing, and prayer
- Meet at least twice a month
- Open by invitation and advertisement
- Led by skilled leaders who receive ongoing support
- Committed to multiplying
- Committed to developing new leaders through apprenticeship
How do I get connected with a Shepherd Group?
- Invitation—talk to friends or small group leaders you know, ask to join
- Request—indicate interest on Sunday bulletin tear-off or by calling leader(s) from the Shepherd Group Directory (find a directory at the Adult Ministries display)
- Start a new group—consider forming your own shepherd group
Shepherd Leader Training
This training is a tool to share the vision for the Shepherd Group ministry at Bethlehem.
It is a prerequisite to becoming a Shepherd Leader and a way to train and equip potential new leaders.
To find out more or register for a class, contact:
Amy Katterson
Why Start a Shepherd Group?
- Looking for community
- Interested in a certain topic or study
- Want to connect with others in your geographic community
- Sense a gifting for pastoral ministry or shepherding
- Want to provide a place of welcome for newcomers to Bethlehem
Are there required resources for shepherd leaders to use?
Bethlehem does not have a specific approval process for our shepherd leaders to use in their small group studies. There is a great deal of freedom in that decision.
What should I do if I have a question about a small group resource?
Shepherd leaders meet regularly (monthly or quarterly) with the elders of their campus, which is a time when questions about curriculum or studies could be raised.
New leaders with questions, contact your campus Adult Ministries pastor.

"God's commands are always for the deepest and most durable joy of his people. And it is God who charges that the elders equip the saints for ministry and commands that we gather in smaller settings to strengthen one another. So small groups occupy an essential and happy place in the local church"

Civil Rights
We Provide Civil Rights Technical Assistance
Career/Technical Education and Civil Rights
Under the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Right's Guidelines for Vocational Education Programs (Voc Ed Guidelines), state career and technical education agencies are responsible for conducting certain civil rights compliance activities to eliminate discrimination in their sub-recipient schools and colleges. CTE Center devotes resources to assist schools, colleges, students, and parents in understanding education civil rights requirements.
CTE Center's Technical Assistance Helps Educational Institutions
Educators require knowledge and skills to prevent illegal discrimination from occurring in the first place. CTE Center provides information and other support services – known as technical assistance – to schools and colleges. Technical assistance helps educational institutions comply with federal civil rights requirements. CTE Center also conducts a broad range of proactive technical assistance outreach through such activities as onsite consultations, conference participation, workshops and meetings, as well as through written information, published materials, and telephone conversations. CTE Center continually compiles strategies and programs that hold promise in addressing civil rights concerns.
Institutional Self-Evaluation
To assist in prevention of civil rights problems, CTE Center has developed self-evaluation materials that will enable schools and colleges to learn how they may be able to improve their approach to career and technical education civil rights problems.

"What a lovely wine. It showcases the success that Edna Valley enjoyed this vintage. Rich, oaky forest floor, mushroom, hard spice and tomato notes, also red stone fruits star in the complex flavors. Fairly tannic and bone dry, with great balance, this is a wine that will benefit from mid-term aging or decanting."-Wine Enthusiast
The Edna Valley AVA, where our winery is
located, is emerging as one of the most exciting
regions in California for Pinot Noir. The cool
breezes from the nearby ocean moderate the
climate, allowing for a long growing season,
with full flavor development without sacrificing
structure, color, and acidity.
We like to think of this wine as a cross-section
of the Edna Valley appellation, utilizing fruit from eight distinct blocks of three quality vineyards, all within a mile or two of our winery. Few wines reflect their origins as clearly as Pinot Noir; every nuance of the growing season, as well as cultural practices, soils, site, and winemaking leave indelible impressions on the finished wine. Our 2002 exemplifies the unique character of the Edna Valley; brimming with ripe cherry, currant, and berry flavors. Judicious use of new French and Hungarian oak barrels contribute a hint of smoke and toastiness. Deep color, solid structure, and bright acidity are all hallmarks of fruit grown under the influence of coastal fog and ocean breezes, and these attributes shine through clearly in a wine that is rich, stylish, and well-suited for use at the table. Pinot Noir is the most elegant and food friendly of red wines, with the acidity to stand up well to almost any food, and without heavy tannins that can overpower more delicate cuisine. Pair with game, foie-gras, wildgathered mushrooms, and aromatic cheeses.
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others. Notable Facts...Read More About Central Coast
Pinot Noir(PEE-noh nwahr)
Pinot Noir is a finicky grape. It only grows in
the right climate, with the right soils and the right care. Perhaps because
it is so difficult is why it is so loved. Pinot Noir hails from Burgundy, a region known for crafting the most collectible and sought-after wines from this varietal.
Not only does Pinot reign in Burgundy, it is also...Read More About Pinot Noir

Living room set-top boxes have become increasingly sophisticated, but they can still feel backward any time you need to input a long password or search term using an onscreen keyboard.
Logitech's new Harmony Smart Keyboard ($150 list) is aimed squarely at that problem. It's a full-size keyboard that lets you type on (most of) your living room devices, while also offering total living room control in the manner of a typical Harmony universal remote.

Literatures in European and European-derived languages > French
In the work of the earliest African writers in French can be found the themes that run through this literature to the present day. These themes have to do with African tradition, with French colonialism and the displacement of Africans both physically and spiritually from their native tradition, with attempts to blend the French and the African traditions, and with postindependence efforts to piece the shards of African tradition and the French colonial experience into a new reality.
In his novel Les Trois volontés de Malic (1920; The Three Wishes of Malic), the Senegalese writer Ahmadou Mapaté Diagne anticipates such later writers as Sheikh Hamidou Kane, also of Senegal. In Diagne's novel, Malic, a Wolof boy, is embroiled in a struggle between Muslim tradition and the influence of the West. He goes to a French-run school to study; then, instead of going to Qur'anic school as his parents wish, he becomes a blacksmith. Other early African works in French frequently deal with the tensions between country and city, between African and French culture, and between traditional religious practices and Islam. The novel Force-bonté (1926; Much Good Will), by Bakary Diallo of Senegal, deals with a youth caught in a conflict between his Muslim background and Western values and culture. The Beninese writer Paul Hazoumé wrote Doguicimi (1938; Eng. trans. Doguicimi), a historical novel depicting the time of the reign of the king Gezo in the ancient kingdom of Dahomey. Some writers focused solely on African tradition, with its positive and negative qualities; these writers include Félix Couchoro, whose novel L'Esclave (1929; The Slave) examines slavery in traditional Dahomey. The Senegalese writer Ousmane Socé wrote Karim (1935), a novel that depicts a young Wolof caught between traditional and Western values. He leaves the countryside for the Senegalese cities of Saint-Louis and Dakar but loses everything when he falls prey to the cities' wiles; he returns, in the end, to traditional ways of living. The novel depicts the new society that was being born in early 20th-century Africa. Mirages de Paris (1937; Mirages of Paris) has to do with a Senegalese student in Paris who falls in love with a Frenchwoman. Abdoulaye Sadji of Senegal wrote Maïmouna (1958; Eng. trans. Maïmouna), about an African girl who leaves home and goes to Dakar, where she is seduced. She returns to her home and bears a child who dies; she becomes ill but then recovers her traditional roots.
Women's place in Cameroonian society is the subject of Joseph Owono's Tante Bella (1959; Aunt Bella), the first novel to be published in Cameroon. Paul Lomami-Tshibamba of Congo (Brazzaville) wrote Ngando le crocodile (1948; Ngando the Crocodile; Eng. trans. Ngando), a story rooted in African tradition. Faralako: roman d'un petit village africaine (1958; Faralako: Novel of a Little African Village), by Emile Cissé, is an early Guinean novel that examines African tradition and Western technology. Jean Malonga, born in Congo (Brazzaville), wrote Coeur d'Aryenne (1954; Heart of Aryenne), an anticolonial novel. Traditional African society is the primary concern of the novels Le Fils du fétiche (1955; The Son of Charm), by David Ananou of Togo, and Crépuscule des temps anciens (1962; Twilight of the Ancient Days), by Nazi Boni of Upper Volta (later Burkina Faso).
In Madagascar the journal La Revue de Madagascar (founded in 1933) encouraged writing by Malagasy writers and included the poetry of Jean-Joseph Rabéarivelo, whose La Coupe de cendres (1924; Cutting the Ashes) and Sylves (1927; Forests) were collections of poetry that sought to blend French and Malagasy cultural traditions and that shared many of the themes later taken up by the Negritude movement. Other early poets writing in French in Madagascar include Elie-Charles Abraham, E. Randriamarozaka, and Paul Razafimahazo. Édouard Bezoro produced one of the first Malagasy novels: La Soeur inconnue (1932; The Unknown Sister), a historical novel about the conflict between the French and the Merina (Hova) state in Madagascar at the turn of the 20th century. Michel-Francis Robinary founded the newspaper L'Éclair de l'Emyrne and wrote poetry collected in Les Fleurs défuntes (1927; Dead Flowers).
After World War I, many of the Africans who had served in the French army remained in France, bringing pressure on the country to end colonialism and political assimilation. They met with blacks from the United States, and the result was a new concern with and pride in African cultural identity. This acknowledgement of blacknessof black roots, black history, and black civilizationsbecame part of the struggle against colonialism and evolved, under the tutelage of Léopold Senghor of Senegal, Aimé Césaire of Martinique, and Léon-Gontran Damas of French Guiana, into the movement that became known as Negritude. Césaire's Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (1939; Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, or Return to My Native Land) and Senghor's Anthologie de la nouvelle poésie nègre et malgache de langue française (1948; Anthology of the New Black and Malagasy Poetry of the French Language) are among the important works of this movement, as is Senghor's own poetry, including Chants d'ombre (1945; Songs of the Shade) and Éthiopiques (1956). The struggle had earlier been waged in such short-lived journals as Légitime défense (1932; Legitimate Defense) and L'Étudiant noir (1935; The Black Student). In 1947 the journal Présence africaine (African Presence) was inaugurated; it would play a significant role in the encouragement and development of Francophone writing.
Birago Diop of Senegal wrote poetry (e.g., Leurres et lueurs [1960; Lures and Gleams]), some of which emphasizes its connections with the ancestral African past. In Madagascar Jacques Rabemananjara wrote verse, collected in such volumes as Sur les marches du soir (1942; On the Edges of the Evening), and plays, including Les Dieux malgaches (1947; The Malagasy Gods), that were part of the Negritude movement. Bernard Binlin Dadié of Côte d'Ivoire wrote the autobiographical Climbié (1956; Eng. trans. Climbié), a novel dealing with traditional African society and the modern world, as well as drama and lyrical poetry. Fily Dabo Sissoko of Mali emphasized African tradition in such works as Harmakhis: poèmes du terroir africain (1955; Harmakhis: Poems of the African Land) and Poèmes de l'Afrique noire (1963; Poems from Black Africa). Lamine Diakhaté of Senegal wrote Negritude poetry, as did the Senegalese Lamine Niang in Négristique (1968). David Diop of Senegal was a poet of protest in his Coups de pilon (1956; Hammer Blows). The Congolese poet Antoine-Roger Bolamba wrote Esanzo: Chants pour mon pays (1955; Esanzo: Songs for My Country), a collection of Negritude poetry.
In Côte d'Ivoire Anoma Kanie wrote love poetry (Les Eaux du Comoë [1951; The Waters of the Comoë]), as did Maurice Kone (La Guirlande des verbes [1961; A Garden of Words]). From Benin came such poets as Richard G. Dogbeh-David and Paulin Joachim. In Cameroon, Elolongué Epanya Yondo wrote Kamerun! Kamerun! (1960; Cameroon! Cameroon!), François Sengat-Kuo wrote Collier de cauris (1970; Necklace of Cowry Shells), and Jean-Paul Nyunaï wrote La Nuit de ma vie (1961; The Darkness of My Life). In Guinea prominent poets of the 20th century include Keita Fodeba, Mamadou Traoré (Ray Autra), and Condetto Nenekhaly-Camara. Other poets of the period include William J.F. Syad of Somalia and Toussaint Viderot Mensah of Togo. The novelist and poet Pierre Bamboté is among the Central African Republic's most important writers of the 20th century. The Congolese writer Tchicaya U Tam'si published poetry dealing with colonialism (e.g., Epitomé [1962; Epitome] and Le Ventre [1964; The Belly]).
Sidiki Dembele of Mali wrote a novel, Les Inutiles (1960; The Useless Ones), urging African intellectuals to return to their traditional homes. Denis Oussou-Essui of Côte d'Ivoire published a novel in 1965 that also dealt with the strains between African tradition and urban life. Guinean Camara Laye wrote an autobiographical novel, L'Enfant noir (1953; The African Child). His most important publication was the novel Le Regard du roi (1954; The Radiance of the King), the story of Clarence, a white man, who, as he moves deeper and deeper into an African forest, is progressively shorn of his Western ways and pride. At his nadir, he begins anew, when, naked and alone, he embraces an ambiguous African king. Mongo Beti (a pseudonym of Alexandre Biyidi-Awala) of Cameroon wrote Le Pauvre Christ de Bomba (1956; The Poor Christ of Bomba), a story that deals with the complex relationship between Christianity and colonialism in Africa. His Mission terminée (1957; The Finished Mission; Eng. trans. Mission to Kala) treats the uneasy fit of traditional Africa and Western colonialism, and Le Roi miraculé (1958; Eng. trans. King Lazarus) depicts a generational struggle within the context of a quixotic view of African tradition. Another novelist from Cameroon, Benjamin Matip, wrote Afrique, nous t'ignorons (1956; Africa, We Don't Pay Attention to You), which shows young people caught between the white man's world and the traditional African world. Ferdinand Léopold Oyono, also a Cameroonian novelist, wrote Une Vie de boy (1956; A Life of a Boy; Eng. trans. Houseboy), the story of a boy, Toundi, who leaves his rural home and goes to the town of Dangan, where he becomes the servant for a French commandant and his wife. Toundi undergoes a type of puberty rite of passage as his experiences among the whites slowly reveal to him the masks that cover their religion, their justice system, and their family ideals. Oyono also wrote Le Vieux nègre et la médaille (1956; The Old Man and the Medal) and Chemin d'Europe (1960; The Road to Europe). The novels of Francis BebeyLe Fils d'Agatha Moudio (1967; Agatha Moudio's Son), La Poupée ashanti (1973; The Ashanti Doll), and Le Roi Albert d'Effidi (1976; King Albert)show the influence of African oral tradition in their style and themes. In the earliest of those novels, a man falls in love, but his society clings to a tradition that will not allow him to marry the woman of his choice.
Ousmane Sembène was a major film director and a significant novelist. Les Bouts de bois de Dieu (1960; God's Bits of Wood), his greatest novel, describes the last gasp of colonialism through the story of a railroad strike. In it Bakayoko is the spokesman for a future that will combine African humanism and European technology. The characters Fa Keïta, Penda, and Ramatoulaye are all committed to change; each one is involved in the strike, and each also demonstrates dignity and eloquence. Fa Keïta retains his nobility in the face of torture, Penda in the face of ostracism, and Ramatoulaye in the face of enormous want and deprivation. Through it all stands Bakayoko, who single-mindedly pursues change, although he understands that change cannot be abrupt; it must be anchored in the past. Hence his concern for tradition, of which the novel's women are symbols. Seydou Badian Kouyaté of Mali wrote a play about the Zulu leader Shaka: La Mort de Chaka (1962; The Death of Shaka). Aké Loba of Côte d'Ivoire wrote Kocoumbo, l'étudiant noir (1960; Kocoumbo, the Black Student), which treats the negative efforts of France on traditional African values. His Les Fils de Kouretcha (1970; The Sons of Kouretcha) is a study of the effects of industrialization on traditional societies. Olympe Bhêly-Quénum of Benin wrote the novel Un Piège sans fin (1960; Snares Without End), which focuses on the African traditional past. The Senegalese writer Sheikh Hamidou Kane wrote L'Aventure ambiguë (1961; Ambiguous Adventure), a novel that considers the African and Muslim identity of its main character, Samba, within the context of Western philosophical thought. In his novel Le Soleil noir point (1962; The Sun a Black Dot), Charles Nokan of Côte d'Ivoire deals with efforts to bring a nation to freedom.
In Africa's postindependence period, similar themes persisted but were readjusted to conform to worlds in which new societies were being forged. Many French-language novels of the last decades of the 20th century deal with familial struggles within a traditional society that can never again be the same. Maimouna Abdoulaye of Senegal wrote Un Cri du coeur (1986; A Cry from the Heart), a novel dealing with women living in an indifferent male society. Josette Abondio of Côte d'Ivoire is the author of Kouassi Koko ma mère (1993; Kouassi Koko My Mother), a novel about a woman whose existence narrows with the death of her male partner. Marie Thérèse Assiga-Ahanda of Cameroon wrote the novel Sociétés africaines et High Society (1978; African Societies and High Society'), a story about two people returning to their country after colonialism, only to find a new kind of colonialisman internal kind. Marie-Gisèle Aka of Côte d'Ivoire wrote Les Haillons de l'amour (1994; The Remnants of Love), a novel having to do with a girl's difficulties with her father. A novel written in 1990 by Philomène Bassek of Cameroon deals with the plight of a mother of 11 children who has a harsh husband. Poverty and the upper classes preoccupy Aminata Sow Fall of Senegal in Le Jujubier du patriarche (1993; The Patriarch's Jujube). The Gabonese writer Justine Mintsa writes of tragic life in a contemporary African village in a novel published in 2000.
The relationship between Africa and Europe remained a theme through the end of the 20th century. Aïssatou Cissokho, a Senegalese writer, in Dakar, la touriste autochtone (1986; Dakar, the Native Tourist), depicts a character returning from Europe and finding things much the same in Dakar. In a 1999 novel, the Cameroonian novelist Nathalie Etoké tells the story of an African who is an illegal immigrant in Paris. A young African woman in Paris is the focus of Gisèle Hountondji in Une Citronnelle dans la neige (1986; Lemongrass in the Snow). Henri Lopes is a Congolese novelist, as is Maguy Kabamba, who wrote La Dette coloniale (1995; The Colonial Debt), depicting Africa and Europe as seen through the eyes of a young African student.

We found that there is a strong and highly significant link between state security and women's security. In fact, the very best predictor of a state's peacefulness is not its level of wealth, its level of democracy, or its ethno-religious identity; the best predictor of a state's peacefulness is how well its women are treated. What's more, democracies with higher levels of violence against women are as insecure and unstable as nondemocracies.
Our findings, detailed in our new book out this month, Sex and World Peace, echo those of other scholars, who have found that the larger the gender gap between the treatment of men and women in a society, the more likely a country is to be involved in intra- and interstate conflict, to be the first to resort to force in such conflicts, and to resort to higher levels of violence. On issues of national health, economic growth, corruption, and social welfare, the best predictors are also those that reflect the situation of women. What happens to women affects the security, stability, prosperity, bellicosity, corruption, health, regime type, and (yes) the power of the state. The days when one could claim that the situation of women had nothing to do with matters of national or international security are, frankly, over. The empirical results to the contrary are just too numerous and too robust to ignore.

Recently Deceased
James Covino
October 26, 1946–April 1, 2010
Edward H. Flitton III
Former Holland & Hart Managing Partner Edward H. Flitton III died on March 26, 2010 in Chicago. He was stricken while attending meetings of the executive committee of the Law Practice Management Section during the American Bar Association's annual technology convention.
Flitton managed Holland & Hart, Colorado's largest law firm, for five years ending in 2006. He practiced primarily in Colorado Springs.
Flitton began his legal career in Colorado Springs in 1972 as the general counsel of a contractor building franchise restaurants in thirty states. Previously, he taught commercial law at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, from 1967 to 1969, and was an associate for another Denver firm from 1969 to 1972. He began a solo law practice in Colorado Springs in 1978. In 1981, he joined the law firm of Spurgeon Haney & Howbert, which merged with Holland & Hart in 1986.
Flitton received his JD in 1967 from the University of Chicago Law School. He received his undergraduate degree, cum laude, from Harvard College in 1964.
Since his retirement, he guided his firm through a strategic planning process and served as budget officer for the ABA's Law Practice Management Section, according to Merrilyn Astin Tarlton, former editor of the section's magazine, Law Practice. Flitton wrote a regular column, "Taking the Lead," for the magazine. At the time of his death, he served on the magazine's Board.
Flitton is survived by his wife Karen; their three daughters, Jennifer, Rebecca, and Elizabeth; and two grandchildren, Lucca and Mia.

Major shift in consumer sentiment looms
The high-end consumers are about as sanguine as we have them in quite some time.
We have recently witnessed an overshoot in real-world consumer sentiment and as is true in the case of all overshoots, a correction now looms. Overshoots and undershoots happen regularly throughout economic cycles, but it is much more difficult to observe on a ground floor level unless you spend time on the ground floor.
Economists with cubicle offices in tall buildings in large metropolitan cities who work in the traditional corporate world are often blind to these ground floor observations, but we may have just seen a major peak and if a reversal begins it could be material to the health of the consumer going forward.
A material shift in consumer sentiment seems to have begun, and if it is anything like the past the result could bring the high end of the market back down to reality and significantly change the otherwise sanguine environment that has existed. This is a hands on observation, a "Random Walk" if you will, and something that traditional economists miss. But there may be a material change soon.
Using these same "Random Walk" indicators, an undershoot in consumer sentiment occurred in the middle of 2009, a couple months after the market bottomed in March of 2009, and it suggested that the sentiment on the Street was so poor then that buying opportunities existed.
After comparing normalized demand levels to actual demand for investments at that time we observed discrepancies as well, and undershoot again, and that offered additional confirmation. My proprietary work identifies where natural rates of demand are for investments in the U.S. economy, and when we compare actual demand to normalized demand we can also see clear periods of overshoots and undershoots (click here).
Not unlike the consumer based overshoots that we are witness to now, demand and even equity based valuation ratios seem to be overshooting as well, but that is a conversation for another day. Today's topic is the consumer, and the high end of the market certainly seems more sanguine than I have seen them since the middle of 2007, right before the most recent market meltdown.
Although the low end of the market does not share that enthusiasm, and that divergence raises a host of additional concerns, the basis for projections using our "Random Walk" model is contrarian as it identifies overreactions, either positive or negative, and attempts to identify opportunity afterwards. This is part of a group of indicators, and although I expect that someday this will hiccup, this part of our analysis has never been wrong.
Using an only partly scientific approach, which is mostly hands on, I have determined that shortly after the market peaked about a month ago the sentiment on the street also seems to be peaking. This slight lag is normal, it even happened in 2009 where sentiment actually bottomed in the middle of 2009, shortly after the March 2009 low.
Interestingly, though, the high end is not as ready to make the big purchases as their face-value sentiment may actually suggest. They are paying up for the basics -- movie tickets, dry cleaning, specialty retail and food -- but they are not stepping up to the extravagant purchases, nor are they likely to do so.
For example, Tiffany's (TIF) revenue last quarter grew by a meager 1.6%, but Whole Foods Market (WFM) increased revenue by 13.6% by targeting the same customer. That high-end customer is also buying expensively priced retail merchandise from Lululemon (LULU) at an extremely rapid pace.
My point here is that the high-end is very happy, very willing to buy the higher-end goods and services, and the price points for those items is actually increasing. But when the limits are pushed to the ultra high end like TIF we have seen enough hesitation for us to believe that a shift in absolute sentiment is also already occurring.
I expect the trickle down impact of consumer sentiment to start to impact even the higher end food and specialty retailers soon, but I do not expect much change on the low end. Those consumers have not seen a spike in sentiment at all, they are still struggling, and this tale of two worlds will not change their pace of participation very much in my opinion.
