Apex Hides the Hurtby Colson Whitehead
"There are some funny riffs on advertising here...as well as some wry commentary on how we talk about race nowadays. And of course, anything Whitehead writes is worth reading for the brilliance and originality of his phrasing. But the reason Whitehead's third novel is so moving and worthwhile is that he perfectly nails the tragic/comic nature of our smoothly packaged, hyper-verbal, and strangely stupid times." Anna Godbersen, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the MacArthur and Whiting Award?winning author of John Henry Days and The Intuitionist comes a new, brisk, comic tour de force about identity, history, and the adhesive bandage industry.
When the town of Winthrop needed a new name for their town, they did what anyone would do — they hired a consultant.
The protagonist of Apex Hides the Hurt is a nomenclature consultant. If you want just the right name for your new product, be it automobile or antidepressant, sneaker or spoon, he's the man to get the job done. Wardrobe lack pizzazz? Come to the Outfit Outlet. Always the wallflower at social gatherings? Try Loquacia.
And of course, whenever you take a fall, reach for Apex, because Apex Hides the Hurt. Apex is his crowning achievement, the multicultural bandage that has revolutionized the adhesive bandage industry. Flesh-colored be damned — no matter what your skin tone is, Apex will match it or your money back.
After leaving his job (following a mysterious misfortune), his expertise is called upon by the town of Winthrop. Once there, he meets the town council, who will try to sway his opinion over the coming days.
Our expert must decide the outcome, with all its implications for the town's future. Which name will he choose? Or perhaps he will devise his own? And what's with his limp, anyway?
Apex Hides the Hurt brilliantly and wryly satirizes our contemporary culture, where memory and history are subsumed by the tides of marketing.
"Following the novels The Intuitionist (1998) and John Henry Days (2001), and the nonfiction The Colossus of New York (2004), a paean to New York City, Whitehead disappoints in this intriguingly conceived but static tale of a small town with an identity crisis. A conspicuously unnamed African-American 'nomenclature consultant' has had big success in branding Apex bandages, which come in custom shades to match any skin tone. The 'hurt' of the Apex tag line is deviously resonant, poetically invoking banal scrapes and deep-seated, historical injustice; both types of wounds are festering in the town of Winthrop, which looks like a midwestern anytown but was founded by ex-slaves migrating during Reconstruction. Winthrop's town council, locked in a dispute over the town's name, have called in the protagonist to decide. Of the three council members, Mayor Regina Goode, who is black and a descendant of the town's founders, wants to revert to the town's original name, Freedom. 'Lucky' Aberdine, a white local boy turned software magnate, favors the professionally crafted New Prospera; and no-visible-means-of-support 'Uncle Albie' Winthrop (also white) sees no sense in changing the town's long-standing name — which, of course, happens to be his own. Quirky what's-in-a-name??style pontificating follows, and it often feels as if Whitehead is just thinking out loud as the nomenclature consultant weighs the arguments, meets the citizens and worries over the mysterious 'misfortune' that has recently shaken his faith in his work (and even taken one of his toes). The Apex backstory spins out in a slow, retrospective treatment that competes with the town's travails. The bickering runs its course listlessly, and a last-minute discovery provides a convenient, bittersweet resolution. Whitehead's third novel attempts to confront a very large problem: How can a society progress while keeping a real sense of history — when a language for that history doesn't exist and progress itself seems bankrupt? But he doesn't give the problem enough room enough to develop, and none of his characters is rich enough to give it weight." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"'Apex Hides the Hurt,' Colson Whitehead's third novel, is so deceptively simple that it risks sounding like just another skirmish in the ongoing conflict between young, cerebral novelists and our consumerist culture. Whereas Whitehead's 'John Henry Days' (2001) was a sweeping and formidable campaign of realistic satire, it's tempting to regard this new novel as a minor and predictable allegory. The... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) book, however, deserves a better reading than that. The unnamed protagonist is a 'nomenclature consultant.' He names things, products mostly, but in this case he's been hired to rename a town. It is currently known as Winthrop, after the barbed-wire magnate who incorporated it (and, presumably, after the Puritan preacher John Winthrop, who called America the 'city on a hill' and in so doing became our first national PR flack). The current representative of the Winthrop clan is Albie, an effete and comically hapless blueblood who would prefer that the name stay as is. Lucky Aberdeen, a cartoonish new-economy type who runs a local software company looking to attract talent, has proposed New Prospera as an alternative. Regina Goode, a descendant of the former slaves who founded the town, suggests they revert to the settlement's original name, Freedom. The nomenclature consultant has been brought in to adjudicate. He is unsurprisingly cynical about his job. As he explains in a typical spiel, 'You have some kind of pill to put people to sleep or make them less depressed so they can accept the world. Well you need a reassuring name that will make them believe in the pill. Or you have a new diaper. Now who would want to buy a brand of diaper called Barnacle?' He can only condescend to the multitudes, the 'Great Unwashed, the clueless saps who came to his names and connotations seeking safe shores and fresh starts. Try This, it will spackle those dings and dents in your self. Try New and Improved That, it will help keep your mind off the decay.' He enjoys celebrity status in the trade for having christened Apex, the first multicultural adhesive bandage, and he is both fixated on his greatest success and haunted by it. Apex's chromatic range atones for years of 'flesh-colored' Band-Aids. 'In the advertising, multicultural children skinned knees, revealing the blood beneath, the commonality of wound, they were all brothers now, and multicultural bandages were affixed to red boo-boos.' The symbolic drift is obvious: Over the past two generations, African-Americans have been welcomed into the shoals. They've been invited to palliate their injuries, personal and historical, with products that 'hide the hurt.' Whitehead lays it on pretty thick here, but this thickness is precisely the book's point. His protagonist compulsively deconstructs the spin he is paid to proliferate. He's moved by contradictory impulses: He takes great pleasure in both embroidering fantasy and unweaving it. He insists on his status as a corporate cog yet relishes his work. He devises increasingly ingenious least-common-denominator slogans, but his own observations are thoughtful and original, if ponderous. He is given to ruminations on the significance of, say, shuttle buses: 'As perfect containers of that moment between anticipation and event, as roving four-wheeled or six-wheeled conveyances of hope, shuttle buses cannot be blamed if the destination disappoints, if desire is counterfeited, if after all that dreaming all we have to show are ashes.' His expertise is in such counterfeiting: He knows that the promise in a name such as New Prospera is, at best, nominal. He is well aware that Apex only hides the hurt. He knows these things all too well; that is his limitation. He clings to his cynicism. The great intelligence of this book is in Whitehead's sympathetic understanding of this character's abiding faith in his own incredulity. If he can successfully identify the con, if he can be sure it's all counterfeit, he can inoculate himself against expectation and disappointment. But, of course, he also has warned off hope. In choosing a name for Winthrop, he begins to acknowledge the way his skepticism has become his credo. Whitehead explores this territory keenly, but it's familiar ground for much contemporary American fiction. It's the racial dimension that distinguishes his work. Whitehead's white contemporaries often allow themselves to contrast media-age irony with some bygone moment of sincerity. But African-Americans do not have the luxury of that nostalgia. The narrator remarks that Apex bandages sell because they 'so efficiently permitted the illusion of a time before the fall.' Whitehead's protagonist knows too much about history to buy such myths, but he also knows too much about the present to suffer the guileless. By the time he makes his decision regarding the town's new name, he understands that naming can be canny without being manipulative: This river town's name could conjure meaningful associations rather than just manufacture fantasy. Names can acknowledge history instead of effacing it, and they can do so without reverting to the overly literal. 'What did a slave know that we didn't?' he asks himself before he makes his decision. 'To give yourself a name is power.' A name cannot be transformative on its own, but it can serve as one bold act in an ongoing struggle."

"In spare and evocative prose, Whitehead does Shakespeare one better: What's in a name, and how does our identity relate to our own sense of who we are?" Library Journal
"Cultural insight, conceptual ingenuity and cutting-edge humor distinguish the third novel by a New York writer who never fails to engage and intrigue....While making no attempt at depth of characterization, Whitehead audaciously blurs the line between social realism and fabulist satire." Kirkus Reviews
"[B]rims with the author's spiky humor and intelligence....Not a whole lot happens...but Whitehead's ruminations on the power of names, the fatuity of corporate life, advertising, race relations, and American aspirations are almost pleasure enough. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"Whitehead...continues his shrewd and playful inquiry into the American soul in a fresh and provocative tale....Whitehead archly explicates the philosophy of excess and the poetics of ludicrousness, and he incisively assesses the power inherent in the act of naming." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Engaging and provocative....But ultimately, Apex falls short because its protagonist, engaging as he is, lacks heart." Los Angeles Times
"Whitehead is making a strong case for a new name of his own: that of the best of the new generation of American novelists....The central plot line is reminiscent of William Gaddis's epic-length parodies of modern America's absurdities, but Whitehead prefers a leaner, meaner brand of prose." Boston Globe
"In a world crowded with big, bossy novels insisting on taking us to the ends of the earth, Colson Whitehead offers a short, quiet invitation to bum around town." Daniel Handler, Newsday
The town of Winthrop has decided it needs a new name. The resident software millionaire wants to call it New Prospera; the mayor wants to return to the original choice of the founding black settlers; and the towns aristocracy sees no reason to change the name at all. What they need, they realize, is a nomenclature consultant. And, it turns out, the consultant needs them. But in a culture overwhelmed by marketing, the name is everything and our heros efforts may result in not just a new name for the town but a new and subtler truth about it as well.

JONESBORO — Anybody associated with the Jonesboro Cardinals boys basketball team will tell you that James Walker is a special caliber of player.
The freshman led the Cardinals in scoring as they captured the Class AAAA title this season.
To further validate his prowess, Walker was the only boys freshman in the state named to the Georgia Sportswriters Association All-State teams. The 6-foot-4 Walker was a first team Class AAAA selection.
He was one of seven players from Clayton County selected to the GSWA all-state team, which was picked by sports writers throughout the state.
Walker averaged 15.8 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinals, who defeated Columbia last month for the program's first basketball championship. He was also named to the first team All-Region 4-AAAA squad, which was chosen by the league coaches.
Last season, Walker played at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy after leading Rex Mill Middle to the county middle school championship.
There were five female freshmen that made all-state, but none made the first team.
In addition to Walker, Clayton News Daily Player of the Year Quincy January was named to the Class AAAA first team. The 6-foot-4 January was the Region 4-AAAA Player of the Year after averaging 18.9 points and 11.2 rebounds to lead the Raiders to the runner-up finish in the region tournament and into the second round of the state playoffs.
Tracy Hector, who starred for the Cardinals in the state title game against Columbia, was chosen as an honorable mention. Former Forest Park standout Costa Anderson was also named to the honorable team as a senior at South Atlanta.
Cardinals coach Dan Maehlman was named the Class AAAA Coach of the Year by GSWA. The Cardinals finished with a 29-6 record with a roster that included only one returning player that had significant playing time last season.
Drew standout Maleek Taylor was named honorable mention in Class AAAAA. The junior averaged a county-leading 23.4 points per game for the Titans. In addition, he averaged six rebounds and two steals for the Region 4-AAAAA team. He was named to the all-region first team.
On the girls' side, Lakiah Sims, who was the Clayton News Daily Girls Player of the Year, was a first team Class AAAAA selection.
The senior center averaged 23 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Titans to the Region 4-AAAAA title and into the state semifinals.
Until this season, Drew had never won a state playoff game in two previous appearances. Sims finished her career as the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder.
Breasia McElrath, who helped Forest Park to its second consecutive Class AAAAA semifinals appearance, was named to the honorable mention squad. The junior averaged 10.1 points for the Panthers, who finished runner-up to Drew in the region tournament.
In Class AAAA, Jonesboro standout Michaelle Smith was named to the first team. She averaged 18.6 points and a county-leading 15.5 rebounds per game for the Cardinals, who lost in the first round of the state playoffs.
Smith, who is also a standout volleyball player, was named the Region 4-AAAA Player of the Year by the league coaches earlier in the season.

"The stark reality is that many children in developing countries die soon after diagnosis," said Dr Jean-Claude Mbanya, President-Elect of the International Diabetes Federation. "It's been 87 years since the discovery of insulin, yet many of the world's most vulnerable citizens, including many children, die needlessly because of lack of access to this essential drug. This is a global shame. We owe it to future generations to address this issue now."
In many developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and some parts of Asia, life-saving diabetes medication and monitoring equipment is often unavailable or unaffordable. As a result, many children with diabetes die soon after diagnosis, or have poor control and quality of life, and develop the devastating complications of the disease early.
In order to support some of those children, the International Diabetes Federation created its Life for a Child Program in 2001. The program, which is operated in partnership with Diabetes Australia-NSW and HOPE worldwide, currently supports a total of 1000 children in Azerbaijan, Bolivia, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Fiji, India, Mali, Nepal, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Sudan, The United Republic of Tanzania, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe.
"The 1000 children that we support represent a pitifully small number of those in need," said Dr. Silink, who co-founded the Program. "It seems unthinkable that diabetes care remains beyond the reach of so many. Solutions are available now to address the issues of affordability and accessibility. The means exist to strengthen healthcare systems and provide the diabetes education of healthcare professionals and the families of those affected by diabetes to make a significant step forward."
The timing of the London meeting is no accident,

Admiral Raymond Spruance, commander of Fifth Fleet, had overall charge of the invasion operation. The covering force included 18 battleships and 40 carriers in Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's Fast Carrier Force (TF-58) and the British component commanded by Vice Admiral H. B. Rawlings (TF-57, a battleship and four carriers, plus supporting ships, 22 in all). The lifting force of Vice Admiral Richmond K. Turner's Joint Expeditionary Force, TF-51, comprised some 1,300 ships. Operation iceberg included the largest number of ships involved in a single operation during the entire Pacific war.
The land assault force consisted of U.S. Army Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner's Tenth Army of some 180,000 men. Tenth Army included Major General Roy S. Geiger's III Marine Amphibious Corps (1st, 2nd, and 6th Divisions) and Army Major General John R. Hodge's XXIV Army Corps (7th, 27th, 77th, and 96th Divisions). The Japanese defenders were formed into the Thirty-Second Army (Ryukus). It comprised four divisions (9th, 24th, 62nd, and the 28th on Sakishima) plus additional units. Lieutenant General Mitsuru Ushijima commanded about 130,000 men, including the 20,000-man Okinawan Home Guard. The Japanese constructed a formidable defensive system, particularly on the southern part of the island.
The invasion was originally scheduled for 1 March 1945, but delays in the Philippines Campaign and at Iwo Jima caused iceberg to be delayed for several weeks. The operation began with the occupation of the Kerama Islets, 15 miles west of Okinawa, on 16 March 1945. Five days later, a landing was made on Keise-Jima, from which point artillery fire could be brought to bear on Okinawa itself. Then on 1 April, Easter Sunday, the landing began with a feint toward the southeastern shore of the island. The real assault was made by 60,000 U.S. troops landing on the central stretch of Okinawa's west coast. They quickly seized two nearby airfields and advanced east to cut the island's narrow waist. The Marines and Army troops attained most of their initial objectives within four days.
Ushijima had concentrated the bulk of his defenders out of range of Allied naval guns off the beaches and behind the strong Shuri line at the southern end of the island. There, the Japanese planned to inflict as much damage as possible on the invaders, supported by the last units of the Imperial Fleet and kamikaze raids. U.S. forces encountered the Shuri line for the first time on 4 April. They fought for eight days to take a ridge and clear the Japanese from numerous caves. Fighting was intense as the Japanese defended every inch of ground. The 1st Marine Division finally took Shuri Castle on 29 May. The Japanese then withdrew to the south to establish another defensive line at Yaeju Dake and Yazu Dake. Fierce fighting continued until most Japanese resistance had been eliminated by 21 June. During the battle for Okinawa, both commanders died within five days of each other; General Buckner died of shrapnel wounds inflicted by Japanese artillery at a forward observation post on 18 June, and General Ushijima committed suicide on 23 June.
While the battle had raged ashore, fighting in the waters around the island was just as intense. Japanese kamikaze attacks reached their highest level of the war as the suicide pilots flung themselves against the Allied fleet. Several thousand pilots immolated themselves against U.S. and British ships, sinking 36 and damaging another 368. The largest kamikaze was the giant battleship Yamato, dispatched to Okinawa with sufficient fuel for only a one-way trip. She was to inflict as much damage as possible before being destroyed; the Japanese hoped the Yamato might finish off the Allied fleet after the latter had been weakened by kamikaze attacks, then beach herself as a stationary battery. This mission came to naught on 7 April when the Yamato was attacked by U.S. carrier aircraft. Hit repeatedly by bombs and torpedoes, she sank long before reaching the invasion site.
Okinawa was officially declared secure on 2 July. Both sides had suffered horrendous casualties. More than 107,000 Japanese and Okinawan military and civilian personnel died. On the U.S. side, the army lost 12,520 dead and 36,631 wounded. The Marines suffered 2,938 dead and 13,708 wounded. The navy lost 4,907 men killed and 4,874 wounded, primarily from kamikaze attacks. The navy was the only service in the battle in which the dead exceeded the wounded. This figure was greater than the navy's casualties in all U.S. wars to that date. The Battle of Okinawa was the costliest battle for the Americans of the Pacific war; this was used to support the case for bringing the war to an end by means other than the invasion of Japan itself and certainly influenced the decision by the United States to use atomic bombs.

Scores marched last week in Scottsdale to protest ALEC, a national organization whose membership is composed of primarily Republican legislators and some 300 corporations including BP and Amazon.com and which promotes an anti-immigration, anti-union and anti-federal health-care reform agenda. ALEC was holdings its annual "States and Nation Summit," at which "model bills" supporting its pro-corporate interests are devised. 19 out of 36 such bills have been introduced into the Arizona state legislature.
ALEC stands for the American Legislative Exchange Council. It is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with approximately $6.5 million in annual revenue. APEC receives significant funding from the Charles Koch Foundation (CFK) and other hard-right groups.
Last Wednesday (November 30), the first day of the ALEC summit, dozens of protesters marched to the Kierland Westin Resort and Spa in an attempt to shut down the meeting. They were pepper sprayed and eight people were arrested. At least 100 police officers had been stationed at each entrance to the resort, two helicopters were spotted overhead and police cars lined the streets. One of those pepper-sprayed was David Ortega, O'odham community member who was sprayed so much with a "cloud" of the peppery stuff that he suffered a stroke. He was initially refused "medical" assistance from EMS but was eventually provided with this and sent to the hospital, which he was released from the following day.
Here's a video of the Phoenix protest:
On Friday (December 1), Indigenous Dine' (Navajo) and O'odham elders and supporters attempted to occupy the headquarters of Salt River Project (SRP) in Tempe. SRP is not only a member of ALEC, but holds a seat on ALEC's corporate board. A resident of Black Mesa, Louise Benally, described in a letter how SRP's operations are affecting her community and our nation's archaeological heritage.
"My community is heavily impacted by Salt River Project's coal and water extraction activities. SRP has extensive ties to Peabody Energy's massive mining operations and the Navajo Generating Station which they co-own. Coal mining has destroyed thousands of archeological sites and our only water source has been seriously compromised. Their operations are causing widespread respiratory problems, lung diseases, and other health impacts on humans, the environment, and all living things.
"…We demand that SRP & Peabody [the world's largest private-sector coal company and an ALEC member] meaningfully involve the indigenous communities they are impacting, and that they convert to non-fossil fuel based energy sources and address the health impacts on our communities."
Ofelia Rivas, founder of O'odham VOICE against the Wall and an elder, spoke of how proposed highway construction would devastate sacred land. 16 were arrested, including five protesters who locked down in the building.
As of Saturday, December 3, all who were arrested in the Occupy ALEC protests have been released. To help in their legal defense, including that of a young man named Branson who was present at a December 2 march in downtown Phoenix and charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, go here.
Keep up the fight to stop ALEC.

So much for freedom of opinion... or freedom of choice in general!
For anyone who is sincerely caring about this country, and wants to open their eyes to whats really going on, please click on the link below and read this article. The author, with many, many, years of inside experience, feels BOTH THE DEMOCRATIC AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTIES ARE ROTTEN, and presents his case in a very: clear, factual, thorough, way.
Thank you for the article...
Every time something like this happens, I think it just strengthens the movement. And the police don't even seem to realize they are fighting on the wrong side. Just disgusting the way they are treating people.
ALEX is helping to destroy this country. They have ego's that think they know how to control the people of this country and the world. As the laws made here effect the rest of the planet also. That is why a lot of the states that are taking out the laws that help us, to laws that are destroying us.
When we stop the companies and their people that are the 1%...we will see who the .01 % that is really running the whole show. We have been peeling off the layers and are getting to the core of this whole fresco.
When words fail, use pepper spray. That is what the state does. Spray and try to make people shut up. How's that working for 'em?!
every time I see a video like this my blood pressure skyrockets. So angry to see citizens getting sprayed by robocops. It's like the first thing the cops do,intimidate with armor and sheilds like the early Roman army, physically threaten any one with a differing opinion. This is a damned police state.Unlike the Romans, no one has yet to be crucified to "set an example" to the defeated populace. Maybe the powers that be will stage football games twelve months a year in lieu of gladiator fights to placate any unrest.
Pepper spray just isnt working.
lost my post.
Everytime I see a video like this, my blood pressure skyrockets. It is so much like the Roman army, shields and all, using brute force (oh, excuse me "aggressive action/arrests) to control the skanky barbarians (or any culture that got in their way). Comes down to Speech and Be Sprayed. At least they havent resorted to crucifying dissenters..that worked pretty well in the past. So did the Gladiator Games...hey, why not 12 months of football as a replacement? Oooh Cops VS Occupiers or just throw people in an arena and have cops beat them with batons? Many converts to Christianity came from the crowd witnessing Christians going to martydom...somewhere along the line, spectators began to sympathize.
This is a disgusting display of misuse of power. Shame on them and their Governor for allowing such displays unprofessionalism. I don't remember once seeing the pepper spray coming out when the gun toting Tea Party was carring their hate speech signs which would seem more threatening than these protesters.

How Hollywood Seduced and Abandoned Critic Pauline Kael (Exclusive Book Excerpt)
Brian Kellow's new biography reveals how the New Yorker critic was lured to L.A. by Warren Beatty but soon sidelined at Paramount by Barry Diller and the late Don Simpson.
Pauline Kael, who died in 2001, was as vivid a film critic as any of the movies she wrote about – often more so. Her impressive body of work has been collected in The Age of Movies: Selected Writings of Pauline Kael, which the Library of America is publishing Oct. 27. Marking the occasion, the New York Film Festival recently remembered Kael with a special program that combined a panel discussion that included such critics as The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy and a screening of James Toback's Fingers, one of the movies she championed.
BOOK REVIEW: Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark
Kael didn't just write about movies, though. In 1979, at the invitation of Warren Beatty, she came to Hollywood to work in the movie business herself -- with both Toback and Beatty. Her Hollywood adventure proved to be short-lived. Filmmakers, even friends like Toback, didn't always appreciate her opionated manner. And so she returned to her home at the New Yorker, wiser, she would say, about the ways of Hollywood.
In this exclusive excerpt from his new biography, Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark, which Viking Adult publishes Oct. 27, author Brian Kellow recounts Kael's tenure in Hollywood, from Beatty's promises through a break with Toback and then the frustrating months she spent as a creative consultant at Paramount.

Rugby N.S. senior coach holds clinic in Pictou County for local players
For most, if not all, rugby players in high school itŌĆÖs their first time playing the game.
© CHRISTOPHER CAMERON ŌĆō THE NEWS
Rugby Nova Scotia provincial senior rugby coach Jack Hanratty speaks with Pictou County high school rugby players during a clinic this week in Stellarton, which was hosted by Rugby N.S.
Although multiple mini-rugby programs popped up around the province last year, right now in Nova Scotia the high school programs are still the ŌĆ£grass roots.ŌĆØ
Rugby Nova Scotia provincial senior rugby coach Jack Hanratty said itŌĆÖs for that reason that the main focus for high school rugby needs to be creating a positive environment for players.
ŌĆ£It (goal of high school rugby) should be to give them a positive environment and thatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖre looking for,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Rugby is one of the greatest sports because of discipline, thereŌĆÖs the respect to the coach, respect to players and respect to a referee that you donŌĆÖt get in all sports. ThatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖre looking to show. ItŌĆÖs not only a game, a lot of people say itŌĆÖs a lifestyle.ŌĆØ
Hanratty moved to Nova Scotia last April from Ireland, coming into the Nova Scotia provincial program with experience from the IRFU (Irish Rugby Football Union). After nearly a year here with Rugby N.S. he said there is still progress to be made throughout the province.
ŌĆ£I think thatŌĆÖs a two-part question because IŌĆÖm happy with the attitude of athletes in Nova Scotia, but our ability isnŌĆÖt where weŌĆÖd like it to be and our provincial standard as high as it should be,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We go away to national programs and weŌĆÖve had a lot of Pictou (County) representatives, but sometimes itŌĆÖs a cause of whether you can afford it or not and thatŌĆÖs what IŌĆÖm trying to do.ŌĆØ
In Stellarton this week for a clinic with Pictou County high school players, Hanratty said the reality of the sport is that high school coaches are teaching the basics of the game including tackling, passing and game plans. He said heŌĆÖs going around the province to try to make it slightly easier for the high school players and coaches as they prepare for the season.
ŌĆ£The high school season is so small and the players and coaches only have time to only make a game plan, but what IŌĆÖm trying to do is go around and do it outside the norm,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm trying to teach basic skills that they can do in their own time. All they need is a rugby ball, soccer ball or something oval shaped to practice that. The reception from players and coaches has been phenomenal, itŌĆÖs been excellent.ŌĆØ
Some of these high school players have the potential to go on to play for the province at national or Atlantic events. Hanratty said he wants kids at high schools to understand the potential of where they can go with the game, especially months ahead of those tournaments.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying use a lot of fundraising events to make sure that itŌĆÖs not expensive for kids to go and play sport and represent their province,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs one of the biggest things for me. In this area especially itŌĆÖs a pleasure to drive down. Some people in HRM might think Pictou is far away and for 20 kids to drive to HRM itŌĆÖs an issue, but for me, one person to drive down itŌĆÖs not so much an issue.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying to make sure itŌĆÖs on the radar for kids, not a month out, but within six months so they know theyŌĆÖre building for this and they can start setting that 50 bucks away (here and there over those months).ŌĆØ
In an interview last July with The News, Hanratty said that rugby in Ireland is like hockey and football here in North America. He said part of his travelling around the province is also making sure high school players know the potential opportunities to keep playing the sport past high school.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs in the next Olympics, but how many people know that ŌĆō not a lot,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Why not in 2016 or 2020 have people from Nova Scotia going to the Olympics? I want people from Pictou (County) to get up and say rugby is my sport of choice, I want to go to a world cup, I want to play professional rugby and I want to go to the Olympics.ŌĆØ
HanrattyŌĆÖs travelling the province continues for the next few weeks with the high school season starting in mid-April.

Can't Help Falling In Love: The Sullivans, Book 3 (Contemporary Romance) (The Sullivans) by Bella Andre - Romance>ContemporaryGet ready for another Sullivan bad boy to fall in love in the third book of Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series!
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.
Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter…but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to risk everything she's been guarding for so long?
This winter, if one - or both - of them aren't careful, they just might end up falling in love.

The Justice Department, which was complicit in the National Security Agency's circumvention of the statutory limits on surveillance of e-mail and phone calls, has not shown much interest in getting to the bottom of that apparent crime. It recently abandoned an internal probe of the legal advice Justice lawyers gave the NSA, ostensibly because its investigators could not get requisite security clearances.
But that does not mean the Justice Department is ignoring the revelations concerning the NSA's warrantless surveillance. Last week Attorney General Alberto Gonzales suggested the government might prosecute New York Times reporters and editors for informing the public about the program. (Disclosure: I worked with one of those reporters, Eric Lichtblau, at the Cornell Daily Sun.)
Mr. Gonzales probably had in mind a 1950 amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917 that says "whoever knowingly and willfully… publishes… any classified information… concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States… shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both." On its face, this section covers what the New York Times did.
But it also covers what I'm doing right now: discussing, online and in print, a communication intelligence activity that remains classified. The law seemingly applies to everyone who has publicly acknowledged existence of the NSA's warrantless surveillance program, including the Bush administration's defenders.
Another example of the law's broad reach: The June issue of Commentary magazine includes a letter from Steven Aftergood, an intelligence expert at the Federation of American Scientists, who reports, based on a historical document he has, that the 1972 NSA budget was $65.2 million — a fact "concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States" that is still classified. "Should I therefore be prosecuted?" he asks. "Should Commentary be penalized for publishing the information in this letter?"
The problem illustrated by Mr. Aftergood's questions would be compounded if the Justice Department applied to journalists a provision of the Espionage Act under which it is prosecuting two former pro-Israel lobbyists for passing along classified information they gleaned from a conversation with a Defense Department analyst. Although it's a matter of dispute whether this provision applies to publishing, the information it covers — anything "relating to the national defense" that "the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation" — goes far beyond communication intelligence.
Since the Espionage Act ostensibly criminalizes much innocuous speech, the government has to consider a violation's actual impact on national security in deciding whether to prosecute. And on that score, the case against the Times is weak. It amounts to the claim that, though terrorists certainly were aware that the United States might monitor their communications long before the NSA surveillance story broke, the public discussion provoked by the Times reminded them of this.
Maybe, but that discussion also brought much-needed attention to important questions about privacy, executive power and the rule of law. No doubt the president would have preferred to avoid this controversy, but that does not mean it imperils national security.
Presidents of both parties tend to conflate threats to their own power with threats to the nation. Likewise, intelligence agencies have long been known to classify information for reasons unrelated to national security, even to the point of trying to withdraw material that was publicly available for years.
When the executive branch decides what information is secret and whether any given person should be prosecuted for discussing it, the potential chilling effect on reporting and public debate is enormous. So is the potential for unconstitutional favoritism, since classified material is routinely used by journalists both sympathetic and hostile to the current administration.
Largely for such reasons, the Justice Department has never prosecuted a journalist for using classified information in a story. It should not start now.
