Every now and then the dawn of civilization is reenacted on a remote hilltop in southern Turkey.
The reenactors are busloads of tourists—usually Turkish, sometimes European. The buses (white, air-conditioned, equipped with televisions) blunder over the winding, indifferently paved road to the ridge and dock like dreadnoughts before a stone portal. Visitors flood out, fumbling with water bottles and MP3 players. Guides call out instructions and explanations. Paying no attention, the visitors straggle up the hill. When they reach the top, their mouths flop open with amazement, making a line of perfect cartoon O's.
Before them are dozens of massive stone pillars arranged into a set of rings, one mashed up against the next. Known as Göbekli Tepe (pronounced Guh-behk-LEE TEH-peh), the site is vaguely reminiscent of Stonehenge, except that Göbekli Tepe was built much earlier and is made not from roughly hewn blocks but from cleanly carved limestone pillars splashed with bas-reliefs of animals—a cavalcade of gazelles, snakes, foxes, scorpions, and ferocious wild boars. The assemblage was built some 11,600 years ago, seven millennia before the Great Pyramid of Giza. It contains the oldest known temple. Indeed, Göbekli Tepe is the oldest known example of monumental architecture—the first structure human beings put together that was bigger and more complicated than a hut. When these pillars were erected, so far as we know, nothing of comparable scale existed in the world.
At the time of Göbekli Tepe's construction much of the human race lived in small nomadic bands that survived by foraging for plants and hunting wild animals. Construction of the site would have required more people coming together in one place than had likely occurred before. Amazingly, the temple's builders were able to cut, shape, and transport 16-ton stones hundreds of feet despite having no wheels or beasts of burden. The pilgrims who came to Göbekli Tepe lived in a world without writing, metal, or pottery; to those approaching the temple from below, its pillars must have loomed overhead like rigid giants, the animals on the stones shivering in the firelight—emissaries from a spiritual world that the human mind may have only begun to envision.
Archaeologists are still excavating Göbekli Tepe and debating its meaning. What they do know is that the site is the most significant in a volley of unexpected findings that have overturned earlier ideas about our species' deep past. Just 20 years ago most researchers believed they knew the time, place, and rough sequence of the Neolithic Revolution—the critical transition that resulted in the birth of agriculture, taking Homo sapiens from scattered groups of hunter-gatherers to farming villages and from there to technologically sophisticated societies with great temples and towers and kings and priests who directed the labor of their subjects and recorded their feats in written form. But in recent years multiple new discoveries, Göbekli Tepe preeminent among them, have begun forcing archaeologists to reconsider.
At first the Neolithic Revolution was viewed as a single event—a sudden flash of genius—that occurred in a single location, Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now southern Iraq, then spread to India, Europe, and beyond. Most archaeologists believed this sudden blossoming of civilization was driven largely by environmental changes: a gradual warming as the Ice Age ended that allowed some people to begin cultivating plants and herding animals in abundance. The new research suggests that the "revolution" was actually carried out by many hands across a huge area and over thousands of years. And it may have been driven not by the environment but by something else entirely.
After a moment of stunned quiet, tourists at the site busily snap pictures with cameras and cell phones. Eleven millennia ago nobody had digital imaging equipment, of course. Yet things have changed less than one might think. Most of the world's great religious centers, past and present, have been destinations for pilgrimages—think of the Vatican, Mecca, Jerusalem, Bodh Gaya (where Buddha was enlightened), or Cahokia (the enormous Native American complex near St. Louis). They are monuments for spiritual travelers, who often came great distances, to gawk at and be stirred by. Göbekli Tepe may be the first of all of them, the beginning of a pattern. What it suggests, at least to the archaeologists working there, is that the human sense of the sacred—and the human love of a good spectacle—may have given rise to civilization itself.
Klaus Schmidt knew almost instantly that he was going to be spending a lot of time at Göbekli Tepe. Now a researcher at the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), Schmidt had spent the autumn of 1994 trundling across southeastern Turkey. He had been working at a site there for a few years and was looking for another place to excavate. The biggest city in the area is Şanlıurfa (pronounced shan-LYOOR-fa). By the standards of a brash newcomer like London, Şanlıurfa is incredibly old—the place where the Prophet Abraham supposedly was born. Schmidt was in the city to find a place that would help him understand the Neolithic, a place that would make Şanlıurfa look young. North of Şanlıurfa the ground ripples into the first foothills of the mountains that run across southern Turkey, source of the famous Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Nine miles outside of town is a long ridge with a rounded crest that locals call Potbelly Hill—Göbekli Tepe.
In the 1960s archaeologists from the University of Chicago had surveyed the region and concluded that Göbekli Tepe was of little interest. Disturbance was evident at the top of the hill, but they attributed it to the activities of a Byzantine-era military outpost. Here and there were broken pieces of limestone they thought were gravestones. Schmidt had come across the Chicago researchers' brief description of the hilltop and decided to check it out. On the ground he saw flint chips—huge numbers of them. "Within minutes of getting there," Schmidt says, he realized that he was looking at a place where scores or even hundreds of people had worked in millennia past. The limestone slabs were not Byzantine graves but something much older. In collaboration with the DAI and the Şanlıurfa Museum, he set to work the next year.
Inches below the surface the team struck an elaborately fashioned stone. Then another, and another—a ring of standing pillars. As the months and years went by, Schmidt's team, a shifting crew of German and Turkish graduate students and 50 or more local villagers, found a second circle of stones, then a third, and then more. Geomagnetic surveys in 2003 revealed at least 20 rings piled together, higgledy-piggledy, under the earth.
The pillars were big—the tallest are 18 feet in height and weigh 16 tons. Swarming over their surfaces was a menagerie of animal bas-reliefs, each in a different style, some roughly rendered, a few as refined and symbolic as Byzantine art. Other parts of the hill were littered with the greatest store of ancient flint tools Schmidt had ever seen—a Neolithic warehouse of knives, choppers, and projectile points. Even though the stone had to be lugged from neighboring valleys, Schmidt says, "there were more flints in one little area here, a square meter or two, than many archaeologists find in entire sites."
The circles follow a common design. All are made from limestone pillars shaped like giant spikes or capital T's. Bladelike, the pillars are easily five times as wide as they are deep. They stand an arm span or more apart, interconnected by low stone walls. In the middle of each ring are two taller pillars, their thin ends mounted in shallow grooves cut into the floor. I asked German architect and civil engineer Eduard Knoll, who works with Schmidt to preserve the site, how well designed the mounting system was for the central pillars. "Not," he said, shaking his head. "They hadn't yet mastered engineering." Knoll speculated that the pillars may have been propped up, perhaps by wooden posts.
To Schmidt, the T-shaped pillars are stylized human beings, an idea bolstered by the carved arms that angle from the "shoulders" of some pillars, hands reaching toward their loincloth-draped bellies. The stones face the center of the circle—as at "a meeting or dance," Schmidt says—a representation, perhaps, of a religious ritual. As for the prancing, leaping animals on the figures, he noted that they are mostly deadly creatures: stinging scorpions, charging boars, ferocious lions. The figures represented by the pillars may be guarded by them, or appeasing them, or incorporating them as totems.
Puzzle piled upon puzzle as the excavation continued. For reasons yet unknown, the rings at Göbekli Tepe seem to have regularly lost their power, or at least their charm. Every few decades people buried the pillars and put up new stones—a second, smaller ring, inside the first. Sometimes, later, they installed a third. Then the whole assemblage would be filled in with debris, and an entirely new circle created nearby. The site may have been built, filled in, and built again for centuries.
Bewilderingly, the people at Göbekli Tepe got steadily worse at temple building. The earliest rings are the biggest and most sophisticated, technically and artistically. As time went by, the pillars became smaller, simpler, and were mounted with less and less care. Finally the effort seems to have petered out altogether by 8200 B.C. Göbekli Tepe was all fall and no rise.
Battle for the Soul of Kung Fu
In the shadow of China's legendary Shaolin Temple, a kung fu master's disciples confront the changing world of martial arts.
By Peter Gwin
Photograph by Fritz Hoffmann
The master spent his last day of life wrapped in a quilt stitched by his wife, his rasping, irregular breaths filling the small bedroom. Throughout the cool spring day a stream of visitors arrived in the town of Yanshi, in the foothills of the Song Mountains, to pay their respects at the deathbed of Yang Guiwu, the man who had taught them kung fu. Some wore monks' robes and offered blessings as they entered the tiny brick house. Others wore jeans and loafers and stubbed out cigarettes before passing through the door. The master's wife, her white hair neatly combed, clasped the shoulders of each new arrival as if he were a blood son and ushered him through her kitchen, past the coal-burning stove, to join family members and other disciples assembled at her husband's bedside.
The wife leaned close to the bundled figure to announce a visitor, the last disciple the master had accepted into his kung fu family 15 years before. "It's Hu Zhengsheng," she said. Wearing a Nike tracksuit and traditional cloth slippers, Hu, now a broad-shouldered man of 33, bent over the shriveled figure. "Shifu," he called softly, respectfully, using the Mandarin word for teacher. "Can you hear me?" The old man's eyelids, pale and thin like rice paper, flickered. For an instant, his pupils seemed to center on the young man's face, then drifted away.
Many times the master had told Hu about awakening from dreams in which his martial arts ancestors, long-dead monks from the Shaolin Temple, visited him. They came bearing wisdom collected over centuries from generations of men whose feet had grooved the flagstones in the temple's training hall, whose bones were interred in the Pagoda Forest just outside the temple walls. These were the monks who had committed their lives to perfecting kung fu styles with names like Plum Flower Fist and Mandarin Duck Palm, each a symphony of physical movements, adding variation upon variation that pushed human muscles and bones to their limits. Some would say beyond their limits. Perhaps, Hu thought, these ancestors now were gathering by his master's side.
The master's most advanced disciples recognized special irony in the fact that the old man's lungs would ultimately betray him. He would have approved of this turn of life's wheel, a final lesson in humility for the man who had instructed that breathing was elemental to harnessing one's chi, or life force. It was the first thing he'd taught them: breathe in through the navel, out through the nose. Steady, controlled, in harmony with your heartbeat and the rhythms of your other organs. Learning to breathe properly, he told them, was the initial step on the arduous path to tapping the wellspring of the chi's power and, in doing so, unlocking one of the universe's hidden doors.
Now, with or without unseen spirits at his side, Yang Guiwu stood at another of the universe's hidden doors. The disciples listened for signs in his breathing that he was trying to marshal his life force for the journey ahead.
Some 12 miles from where the old master lay, in a valley just over the Song Mountains, tour buses prepare to disgorge their daily load of visitors at the Shaolin Temple. They come from all over the People's Republic—uniformed soldiers on leave, businessmen on junkets, retirees on package holidays, young couples leading wide-eyed children kicking and chopping the air with exuberant expectation—all to see the birthplace of China's greatest kung fu legend.
Here, the popular myth holds, is where a fifth-century Indian mystic taught a series of exercises, or forms, that mimicked animal movements to the monks at the newly established Shaolin Temple. The monks adapted the forms for self-defense and later modified them for warfare. Their descendants honed these "martial arts" and over the next 14 centuries used them in countless battles—opposing despots, putting down rebellions, and fending off invaders. Many of these feats are noted on stone tablets in the temple and embellished in novels dating back to the Ming dynasty.
Scholars dismiss much of this as legend embroidered with bits of truth. Bare-handed martial arts existed in China long before the fifth century and likely arrived at Shaolin with ex-soldiers seeking refuge. For much of its history, the temple was essentially a wealthy estate with a well-trained private army. The more the monks fought, the more proficient they became as fighters, and the more their fame grew. Yet they were not unbeatable. The temple was sacked repeatedly during its history. The most devastating blow came in 1928, when a vengeful warlord burned down most of the temple, including its library. Centuries of scrolls detailing kung fu theory and training as well as treatises on Chinese medicine and Buddhist scriptures—essentially the temple's soul—were destroyed, leaving the legacy of Shaolin kung fu to be passed down master to disciple, through men such as Yang Guiwu.
Today, however, temple officials seem more interested in building the Shaolin brand than in restoring its soul. Over the past decade Shi Yongxin, the 45-year-old abbot, has built an international business empire—including touring kung fu troupes, film and TV projects, an online store selling Shaolin-brand tea and soap—and franchised Shaolin temples abroad, including one planned in Australia that will be attached to a golf resort. Furthermore, many of the men manning the temple's numerous cash registers—men with shaved heads and wearing monks' robes—admit they're not monks but employees paid to look the part.
Over tea in his office at the temple, Yongxin calmly makes the case that all of these efforts further Buddhism. "We make more people know about Zen Buddhism," he says. A slightly jowly, sad-eyed man, he has a politician's gift for imbuing his remarks with the sense that he believes deeply in what he's saying. "By registering the Shaolin brand name in other countries, promoting Shaolin traditional cultures, including kung fu, we're having people around the world know better and believe in Zen Buddhism."
It is an argument he has made many times in both the Chinese and foreign press, and he isn't the first abbot to face criticism that Shaolin has pursued riches over enlightenment. A 17th-century magistrate railed against the temple's "lofty mansions and splendid furnishings." And yet, whether a force for evangelizing or profitmaking, the Shaolin Temple has helped foster an undeniable kung fu renaissance, which has coincided with China's own resurgence as an international power. Nowhere is this more evident than in Dengfeng, a sprawling city of 650,000 just six miles from the temple gates. Here some 60 martial arts academies have sprouted over the past two decades and now boast more than 50,000 students. A drive down a main road passes some of the biggest schools. They rise like Vegas casinos, with towering dormitories adorned with murals of kung fu fighters, dragons, and tigers.
These schools fill their ranks with boys, and increasingly girls, from every province and social class, ranging in age from five to their late 20s. Some arrive hoping to become movie stars or to win glory as kickboxers. Others come to learn skills that will ensure good jobs in the military, police, or private security. A few are sent by their parents to learn discipline and hard work.
Six days a week, 11 months of the year, the campuses come alive at dawn with legions of students dressed in identical tracksuits—hundreds of children born in the new China, aligned in sharp rows, practicing kung fu. Faces forward, backs rigid, they punch and kick in unison, their voices puncturing the morning air as they repeat their instructors' cadences.

SPARTA, WI (WXOW)—Monroe County's radio consultant will begin collecting proposals to modernize the county's radio towers.
Wednesday night the board approved an additional $3,700 to pay the consultant to move forward.
Public Safety Committee said the county's spotty coverage is a public safety risk.
Currently, portable radio coverage is 60-percent; standard coverage is 95-percent.
Building new radio towers will likely cost $4-6 million.
"We're mindful of taxpayers and the impact on them so we're looking for a solution that is reasonably cost effective and at the same time meet our radio needs," Randy Williams, Director, 911 Communication.
It will be three to six months before Monroe county has bids and a better idea of what the project will cost.

I used to just grill or broil chicken sausage and toss it with roasted or steamed broccoli rabe, pasta, garlic & oil. I love that this uses broth rather than too much oil. It's even better left over.

Fellows of Senate
Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO
The University of Sydney welcomes its new Chancellor
Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO was officially welcomed as the University's seventeenth Chancellor at a ceremony in the Great Hall on Monday 2 July 2007.
View information about Professor Bashir as Chancellor
The welcoming ceremony
Professor Marie Bashir was officially welcomed as the University's seventeenth Chancellor at a ceremony in the Great Hall on the evening of Monday 2 July 2007, and used her first speech in her new role to make a strong commitment to defending the autonomy of the University.
Professor Bashir, the Governor of New South Wales, entered the Hall at the rear of a procession of more than 40 dignitaries, one of the largest academic processions in the University's history.
In a wide ranging and emotional speech, she said it was a "singular privilege" to be called on to serve the University with which she has an association stretching back more than 50 years as a student and academic.
After acknowledging that Australian universities were operating in a competitive environment, Professor Bashir said: "I will do my utmost to be vigilant in defending as far as possible the genuine autonomy of the University." She said she wanted to foster an environment in which courageous debate would flourish.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gavin Brown, said she was "an academic with a profound commitment to teaching and research, the core goals of any university".
Professor Bashir succeeded the Hon Justice Kim Santow as Chancellor in June and will serve for a period of four years. A graduate in medicine and surgery, she was a clinical professor of psychiatry in the Faculty of Medicine between 1993 and 2001.

Senate's welcome by the Deputy Chancellor
I am delighted to have this opportunity on behalf of Senate formally to welcome Professor Marie Bashir, Governor of NSW as Chancellor. When the committee to make recommendations on our new Chancellor was reviewing possible names, university staff, students and alumni all had opportunities to make suggestions. They did so, in almost overwhelming numbers. It will not surprise all of you here that the name most consistently put forward from very diverse groups was that of Professor Bashir. We are therefore delighted this evening to welcome her formally as our new Chancellor.
It is a particular pleasure for me to offer my welcome, as we were both students in the Medical Faculty. I have happy memories of her particular support when I was elected to the SRC and thus became a member of a large Medical Society Council. There were few other women members, and Marie as my mentor, gently inducted me into the Society's traditions and processes.
As is well known, Professor Bashir practised as a psychiatrist, supporting some of the most disadvantaged in our society, in urban and rural settings and in indigenous communities. She is widely known across the state and is much loved as Governor of NSW. She also contributes regularly to outreach activities in the Asia-Pacific region including in Vietnam through the University's Hoc Mai Centre.
For Senate and the University, many challenges lie ahead. Governments regularly attempt to control higher education; in particular, its governance and the regulation of its activities. Increasingly we at Sydney seek to be measured not in local, but in international terms. Nevertheless, funding for higher education and research by international standards lags behind some of our near neighbours as well as UK, Europe and USA. The introduction of Voluntary Student Unionism has threatened the broad student experience for which we have been the acknowledged national leader. Staff face mounting workloads with increasing regulation and reporting. Students are under mounting stress as they juggle study, families, paid work and other interests.
Nevertheless, we intend this university to remain not only Australia's first, but also its finest.
Professor Bashir, you have our trust as our Chancellor as we enter the future. The University community, and in particular the Senate, very much look forward to working with you. We are here this evening to celebrate your accession as Chancellor, and formally to welcome you back in your new role.
It is now my very great pleasure to invite you to address us.
Chancellor's reply
Vice-Chancellor, Deputy Chancellor, members of the Senate of the University of Sydney, academic colleagues, distinguished guests, friends and family.
Thank you Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Chancellor for the warmth and generosity of your words of welcome. Indeed I thank each one of you in this Great Hall who have honoured me by your presence here tonight.
It is indeed a most singular privilege to be called upon to serve this renowned institution which has been integral to my very being since childhood, so richly contributory to my intellectual and emotional development across a lifetime.
As I noted at the ceremony which conferred upon me in 2002, an Honorary Doctorate of Medicine, "There is no occasion when one enters this Great Hall as a former student or academic, that an awesome sense of history is not evoked. But also an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the culture of learning and reflection, for the pathway to intellectual riches, - and the inspiration towards enlightenment abounding", which it symbolises.
One recalls the vision and courage of our early founders, including William Charles Wentworth, whose statue greets us as we enter this Hall.
Wentworth, appointed by my great predecessor the fifth Governor of New South Wales, Lachlan Macquarie, to the position of Acting Provost Marshall in the colony at the age of twenty-one, set the direction which the future University would take.
And as our University history records, it would espouse "an unfettered means to higher learning, open to all classes and to all denominations and under the auspices of the state".
Across 157 years of achievement, this philosophy, - this model of equity and idealism - has served our nation well.
As a graduate in Medicine, I am grateful also for the considerable legacy of excellence which has followed the establishment of that Faculty from 1856 and which has continued to this day. Nevertheless, despite the rich and abundant gifts of the past, there are contemporary - and future - serious challenges which must now be foremost in my mind.
I have no illusions regarding their complexity, nor can I deny the confronting and conflicting elements which can arise in the highly competitive environment which face Australian universities today.
But you have my assurance that I shall do my utmost to contribute to the continuing advancement of this University, and to its ever increasing value to the wider community and to the nation.
I wish to be vigilant in defending as far as possible, the genuine autonomy of the University of Sydney, to ensure the continuation of an environment in which independent, innovative and courageous debate and endeavour will flourish.
Indeed, an academic colleague has alerted me to a highly charged comment of the current Chancellor of Oxford University (a former Minister for Education) who declared "a university is not a branch office of a Ministry of Education. Universities are extremely important parts of a plural society. Their independence is crucial" (1).
I want to remain empathic to the wellbeing of our students from wherever they hale, and to share the aspirations and strivings for excellence of the academic staff - indeed of the whole University community.
I look forward to contributing my enthusiastic support to the Vice-Chancellor and his team in attracting and nurturing our international students, who will go on to serve their respective nations, and indeed the world, with distinction and humanity, - and forever remain proud of their connection with their Australian alma mater.
It will be important also to build on the positive relationship which this senior University has always valued with the wider community, so that the community has a sense of connectedness with our institution, from the corporate and business world to the very young children just beyond this campus of the Darlington Public School and Chippendale, who use our grounds.
There is much cause for pride in the progress which our University has made in establishing vigorous and prestigious programs which reach out to our indigenous students.
It is my wish - and belief - that these will go from strength to strength.
We are blessed indeed that this University since its inception has been sensitive to the value of cultural activities beyond the lecture theatre and even our very eminent research foundations.
It has been fortunate not only in its outstanding sporting tradition - the first rugby club in Australia, after all - but in its extraordinarily rich tradition within its museums, and in drama and music.
All of these have enriched the lives of graduates, undergraduates and alumni. They will have my continuing gratitude and support.
I am proud to follow in the footsteps of my esteemed predecessor the Honourable Kim Santow, and I am deeply appreciative of his contribution to this University and indeed, in his confidence in me.
I am also very much aware of the important advantages, and the pleasure which I shall have, in working with our outstanding Vice-Chancellor and his academic team, with the Registrar, the highly committed Senate, and our exceptional academic community.
And finally, may I thank my family - those who directed me in my formative years, - and those today, for their endless patience and generosity, and the loyal friends who inspire me in all my endeavours.

homemade raw tahini: soak sesame seeds in water for 2+ hours. drain water and grind in food processor. use water, cold-pressed organic oil (like flax) and lemon juice to coerce the food processor to not be a wimpy piece of shit. stop grinding when smooth, creamy and delicious.
homemade toasted sesame tahini: toast sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat until aromatic (do not step away! burning will occur). dump into food processor and grind the living daylights out of the little devils. keep grinding even if you think that the crumbly sesame paste will never turn to buttery goodness. yes, keep grinding (hopefully you have a processor that doesn't require you to hold the button down the entire time…). stop grinding when smooth, creamy and delicious.

An Islamist group seen as the main opposing force to Morocco's monarchy has suspended its involvement in a movement inspired by revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, citing the need for a new deal with secularist activists to bolster its ideology. Al-Adl wal Ihsane's move comes at a tense time for the February 20 Movement whose regular protests, aimed at stripping the Arab world's longest-serving dynasty of its sweeping powers, have thinned considerably in recent weeks.
On Monday, it suspended its youth wing's involvement in the February 20 Movement, said Fathallah Arsalane, a member of al-Adl wal Ihsane's (Justice and Spirituality) Guidance Council.
"We have suffered marginalisation at the hands of some parties in February 20 and this involved the ceiling of political demands, a ban on making public statements and the use of slogans that reflect our group's ideology," Arsalane told Reuters. "We are stopping our action within the February 20 Movement but we can continue outside it … We want a real partnership with everyone, including secularists and left-wing activists."
Al-Adl is seen as Morocco's biggest and best-organised Islamist group. It is active mostly in universities and in helping the poor, but it is banned from politics due mostly to what is seen as its hostile rhetoric towards the monarchy.

In order for insurance to cover an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), most insurance companies require a visual field test to be done by an independent third party (who is not performing the surgery). This test is usually done by an optometrist or other eye doctor and tests whether your vision is significantly different when your excess skin is taped vs. untaped. We would usually get these results and submit this information to your insurance company (along with your other medical information) when we are requesting prior authorization for this procedure.

Winners of four of their last five, the Nationals will begin a short five-game homestand with two games agains the AL Central-leading 19-11 Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are playing extremely well, and are tied for the fewest losses in baseball. They recently swept the Braves, which does not bode well for how the Nationals might fare. They are second in the MLB in runs scored and batting average, and lead in on-base percentage thanks to reigning AL MVP and Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, who is hitting an incredible .385/.465/.615 with six home runs.
Their pitching is also stellar, coming in at fifth in baseball in ERA at 3.36, fourth in WHIP at 1.19, and second with 22 quality starts. Their horse is, of course, former AL Cy Young and MVP Justin Verlander, who is 4-2 with a 1.55 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. After he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning on Sunday, the Nationals will fortunately avoid him. The pitchers they will face are no slouches in their own right, however.
Tuesday's game will pit Anibal Sanchez (3-2, 1.82) against the Nationals' best pitcher this year, Jordan Zimmermann(5-1, 1.64). Sanchez, a former Marlin, has been great this year, never pitching fewer than five innings and never allowing more than three runs. His most notable performance was his one against Atlanta, in which he pitched eight shutout innings and struck out an amazing 17 Braves. Over the past three seasons, Sanchez is 5-0 with a 1.24 ERA in ten starts against the Nationals. Meanwhile, Zimmermann has been incredible for the Nats. He has thrown two complete games in his past four starts, and has not allowed a run in his last 17 innings pitched.
On Wednesday, Dan Haren (3-3, 5.01) will square off against Doug Fister (4-0, 2.48). Fister has allowed five runs combined in his past two starts over 13 innings, with 12 strikeouts and a relatively high 15 hits. However, his WHIP on the season is only 1.13, thanks in large part to his control. He has walked only one batter in his past two starts. Haren had a rough start to the season and was considered the Nats' worst starter, but changed quite a few minds by pitching eight innings and allowing only one run against Atlanta in his most recent start, which cut his ERA by 1.28 runs.
The Tigers will likely be the toughest opponent the Nats have faced all season, so it will be good to see how well they fare against a team that is elite on both sides of the ball, and whether their recent success on offense against the Pirates will hold up.

my grandma (by Endofmarch)
I am sick and tired of people who pass judgement and compare bloggers to other ones.
Things like" Stop being so whimsical or magical", "You are trying too hard to be this magical girl", "stop trying to be like [insert famous blogger of your choice], it's not working" "you're so fake" etc. etc. etc.
It's ridiculous. You don't like it, don't read it. It's simple. People express themselves in all kinds of ways. A blog is not a perfect representation of a person, it's just a tiny window into parts of their personality and being, so unless you know this person in real life well (or by private correspondence), there is no way for you to truly know that person well enough to pass such judgment.
Furthermore, being and finding oneself is a process. We experiment, we try out new things, we find passions just to let them go a few months later. We change. We make new discoveries, sometimes on our own, sometimes through somebody else (or a blog for example). It's normal. It's call growing up, and being human, and wanting to find out who you are (and most often, when you've finally found out, you find yourself already changing again). We are not stones.
I've seen three different messages this morning to people I like and admire and it pisses me off to no end. If you don't like someone's blog, don't read it. Don't pretend you want to give some advice, it's just insulting. Some people will be similar and this is the internet, these people will therefore be attracted to each other and share similar interests. That does not mean they are copying each other, or aspiring to be like somebody else. And if they are, it's still none of your business. To each its own process.
I could scream right now.
EDIT: Equally ridiculous are the messages congratulating a blogger for NOT being so whimsical/magical/a unicorn or something. Usually sent to the same people who receives the kind of messages mentioned at the beginning of this post. It's equally obnoxious and judgmental.

Day 19: Visits by Winston Churchill
"It is fun to be in the same decade with you."
-Franklin Roosevelt to Winston Churchill, January 1942
The friendship between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill formed the core of the Anglo-American alliance during World War II.
On September 11, 1939—ten days after Germany invaded Poland— FDR wrote a confidential letter to Churchill, who had just entered the British cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty. Roosevelt wanted to open a direct line of communication with him. He encouraged Churchill to "keep me in touch personally with anything you want me to know about."
FDR's note was the start of an extraordinary six-year correspondence between the two men that totaled almost 2000 messages.
Between 1941 and 1945, they would also spend 113 days together, beginning with an August 1941 meeting in the North Atlantic and ending at the Yalta Conference in February 1945. Churchill made visits to the United States in 1941, 1942, 1943 & 1944, including a trip to Washington, D.C. shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
"Relocating A People"
This brochure, c. 1942, provided general statistics about Japanese Americans from the 1940 census. The brochure encouraged US citizens to employ Japanese Americans as they were relocated during World War II.
The quote on the cover from Pres. Roosevelt says, "I am glad to observe that the War Department, the Navy Department, the War Manpower Commission, the Department of Justice, and the War Relocation Authority are collaborating in a program which will assure the opportunity for all loyal Americans, including Americans of Japanese ancestry, to serve their country at a time when the fullest and wisest use of our manpower is all-important to the war effort."
Observing Asian-Pacific Heritage Month
To pay tribute to the many generations of Asian-Pacific Americans that have enriched our nation's history, the National Archives at Riverside will be highlighting some of our holdings relating to Asian American history in our region (Southern California, Arizona, and Clark County, NV), including records relating to enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Act, records relating to Japanese internment and relocation, and many more.

1940s Women in the Military Rag Dolls
Millions of young Americans served in America's military during World War II. With FDR's support their ranks included 350,000 women, who served as nurses and in special service branches established throughout the military.
These four dolls, made in 1944 by Mrs. W.W. McGee of Fitzgerald, Florida, represent different branches of the U.S. military and commemorate the service of American women in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps during the war. Mrs. McGee sent these dolls to President Roosevelt as a gift.

Celebrating V-J Day
The surrender of Japan during World War II was announced on August 14, 1945, effectively ending the war, although the official Instrument of Surrender would not be signed until September 2, 1945. Germany had surrendered 3 months earlier on May 7, 1945.
- "American servicemen and women gather in front of 'Rainbow Corner' Red Cross club in Paris to celebrate the unconditional surrender of the Japanese." August 15, 1945, McNulty, Photographer, (111-SC-210241)
- "Enlisted men aboard the U.S.S. Ticonderoga (CV-14) hear the news of Japan's surrender.", 08/14/1945

Aaron Murray Named QB of the Week
September 30, 2013
FORT WORTH, Texas – Georgia's Aaron Murray has been named the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week after a thrilling 44-41 victory over Southeastern Conference Western Division rival LSU.
Murray was phenomenal in the Georgia Bulldogs' third game against a top-10 team, throwing 298 yards and four touchdowns on 20-of-34 passes. He also ran for a score. The fifth-year senior was perfect on the Bulldogs' final drive, completing 4-of-4 passes, including a 25-yard touchdown pass to Justin Scott-Wesley for the win.
"Aaron (Murray) was phenomenal," said Georgia head coach Mark Richt. "He kept answering every score with another great play or throw. He played so well…he did super."
Murray and the Bulldogs will look to keep the momentum going next weekend when they travel to Knoxville, Tenn. to take on the Tennessee Vols.
Honorable Mention for Week Five:
Shane Carden, East Carolina, C-USA
Kevin Hogan, Stanford, Pac-12

There is a constant tension between bankers in our fractional reserve banking system and the government. Bankers are seeking to be the ones who create money through loans at interest and they oppose the creation of money by the government for its purposes such as infrastructure and defense. The current debate about a fiscal cliff is an entirely bogus debate. The US government can create as much money, as in dollars as it desires. The only reason we have a debate about how much money the US government creates is because the very rich who have captured an excessive amount of those dollars does not want to see more of them printed as it will reduce the value of all they have captured. That is the basis of the issue, period.

"It has been a great business that has been the catalyst for real success. From the awards and accolades I achieved in the early years to the exceptional level of trading - I was full for 5 years every night at Smith's - to the friendships with staff and customers alike that has been truly rewarding and still continue. The opportunity it gave me to progress on to some great other businesses like Thyme Cafe, the Cricket Inn and more recently Graze Inn, and my relationship with Thornbridge Brewery.
"The site is brilliant for a new ownership team. It's in a great location with a fantastic kitchen, a brilliant feel and the potential for great trade with passion and commitment - if I was only 20 years younger.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 24 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Junior Nice looking The bike that I purchase from dicks had a few issues with. First thing, the bike had scratches all over the crank. Second, the handle bars are crooked, and third the guide that shifts the the big sprocket down will shift down to the lowest gear setting and makes like a grinding noise when pedeling. It is a nice bike, just wish it would have been new without the scratches and etc. mentioned above, especially the price I paid for this bike. September 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by JATMD Very nice entry level road bike This was my first road bike. I had been using an old mountain bike early in the year. This bike is quiet and much faster than my mountain bike. It seems very sturdy after 150 miles on it. I would recommend this bike for the price and what you get. September 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jim This product has great features This product is an amazing bike. The ride is smooth and the gears shift smoothly. September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Dick Nishiki bike Thought Issac was a great salesman. I like the bike a lot. My only complaint is that the seat is giving me a sore backside. September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jefe First Road Bike... So far absolutely love it! Just switched from a mountain bike which I've had for years. That thing is like a tank compared to this. I checked out the local bike shops and the only thing comparable I could find was $800 plus. So smooth...I really enjoy it! August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by e1207117 Excellent commuter and entry sport bike I had this bike now for more than 3 months (bought in June). I use it to commute from and to the office (12 miles total) every day. It did a great impact on my health and budget. I think I am saved almost half of the bike price on gas savings. Yes, this is entry bike, but everything on this bike is a very good quality you can generally find in 1k "entry" bikes. You can change a lots of components while you go, but does it really need for an average commuter. In US we tend to over accessorise, and this bike does not need anything extra. Now you just need a good sports wear, head and tail lights, a good 700cc rack, and commuter bags. Oh and I forgot, a good lock. Immediately at the parking lot, I received a lots of compliments on the bike. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jnwagstaff Great Deal for the Price I bought this bike about 2 months ago and I love it!! I've never ridden road bikes much so this is my first one. After buying it I did more research on road bikes in general and for the price this bike is great. It has Shimano Claris Shifters which are great for entry level bikers who haven't used the STI s before (Shimano Totally Integrated). So if you're looking for a road bike and don't have a thousand dollars to throw down on your first bike this is the way to go. My only suggestion is that you replace the pedals it comes with, with the clip in ones. I just got some Shimano SPD SL s and they are great! Either way it's a great buy for a entry level biker. The nice thing is that you can always upgrade the components on the bike and make it better. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by spote1027 Great bike I've really enjoyed riding my new bike. Great new Shimano component I recommend this bike to all August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by C2 Nishiki Love the bike! And I'm a person that does extensive research before I make a purchase. Great product! July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Alex Purchased to ride 20 mile round trips to school/ train for triathlon The thrift store road bike I had broke (spokes)...which was only a matter of time as it was nearly 40+ years old. The wife and I decided on the new bike budget and landed on the 2014 Nishiki Maricopa Road Bike. Full Shimano components, though entry level, function superbly. I could not be happier. It's amazing the difference between an "antique" bike and a new one. This thing flies down the road, is super comfortable and reasonably priced for someone who needs a solid commuter or entry level racing bike. I plan on using this for upcoming triathlons. Hard to find a size medium though. I had to drive from WI to IL to get the medium. Worth the trip. July 29, 2014

Watch Out: Barbarians At The Gate For Enbridge (ENB)
- ENB has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $36.3 million.
- ENB has traded 584,997 shares today.
- ENB traded in a range 226.6% of the normal price range with a price range of $1.20.
- ENB traded above its daily resistance level (quality: 53 days, meaning that the stock is crossing a resistance level set by the last 53 calendar days. The resistance price is defined by the Price - $0.01 at the time of the signal).
Stocks matching the 'Barbarian at the Gate' criteria are worthwhile stocks to watch for a variety of factors including historical back testing and volatility. Trade-Ideas targets these opportunities because the stock is exhibiting an unusual behavior while displaying positive price action. In this case, the stock crossed an important inflection point; namely, 'resistance' while at the same time the range of the stock's movement in price is more than twice its normal size. This large range foreshadows a possible continuation as the stock moves higher. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in ENB with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas.

Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Enbridge as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, feeble growth in the company's earnings per share and deteriorating net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 3.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 18.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 55.57% to $781.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, ENBRIDGE INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -52.18%.
- The share price of ENBRIDGE INC has not done very well: it is down 5.17% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, ENBRIDGE INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for ENBRIDGE INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 1.93%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -2.59% trails that of the industry average.

Her interest in women's life and career obstacles led her to work as a research associate and principal interviewer for Project Access, a landmark Harvard University study that explored impediments to women's careers in science—the hindrances, both internal and external, that prevent women from rising to the tops of their fields. For Project Access, Ms. Laschever interviewed over 200 scientists, both men and women, from all over the country, wrote biographical sketches of each, and summarized her findings in a lengthy document now archived at the Murray Center for Research on Women at Harvard University. Ms. Laschever's work on Project Access contributed to the publication of two seminal studies in this field, Gender Differences in Science Careers: The Project Access Study and Who Succeeds in Science? The Gender Dimension, both by G. Sonnert, assisted by G. Holton.
In 1994, Ms. Laschever co-founded the journal millennium pop, a quarterly journal (now a web-site) devoted to serious commentary about popular culture. She has appeared on the Boston area television discussion programs, "The Group," "Greater Boston," and "New England Cable NewsNight" as a cultural commentator.
Since the publication of Women Don't Ask, Sara Laschever has been invited by organizations all over the country to speak about women and negotiation. These organizations include the Microsoft Corporation, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Procter & Gamble, the Aon Corporation, Deloitte Consulting, DuPont, the Employment Management Association, Meeting Professionals International, the Forbes Executive Women's Forum, the Program on Negotiation at Harvard University, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Women in Communications, Inc., the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, Agnes Scott College, Fletcher School of International Affairs at Tufts University, Columbia University, Syracuse University, University of Wisconsin Fluno School of Executive Education, Washington and Lee University, Boston College, University of Memphis, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, Iowa State University, and many nonprofit professional associations and women's leadership groups nationwide.
