Editorial Reviews
"A dark, riveting window into the mind-state of Israel's younger generation, The People of Forever Are Not Afraid marks the arrival of a brilliant writer." -Wall Street Journal
"With its blend of brutal hilarity and heart-stopping anguish, this is a brilliant debut novel." –The Boston Globe
"[Boianjiu's] voice is distinct. It's confident, raw, amusing — a lot like her women."
—The New York Times
"Stunning…[a] beautifully rendered account of the absurdities and pathos inherent to everyday life in Israel." –Los Angeles Review of Books
"Boianjiu's searing debut…draws from the author's own experiences to render the absurdities of life and love on the precipice of violence." –Vogue
"In her riveting debut novel, 25-year-old Shani Boianjiu gives a rare insider glimpse at what it's like to be a girl coming of age in the famously fierce Israeli Defense Forces." –Marie Claire
"In this Bildungsroman, life in the army initiates a metamorphosis from girl to woman…Boianjiu's depiction of…the psyches of these young women is fascinating… The prose [reads] alternately like a nightmare and a dream, but this feverish indecision is what gives it its power." –The Economist
"This powerful novel follows three friends as they come of age in a village – and then are enlisted into the Israeli Defense forces." –O, The Oprah Magazine
"That one debut novel to get excited about." –New York Magazine
"Must-read." –Harper's Bazaar
"Boianjiu builds a deeply engaging narrative...and shows considerable range, creating surreal, absurd dilemmas for her characters...a promising start to Boianjiu's career" —Jewish Book Council
"Eye-opening and brutally honest...In this gripping debut, [Boianjiu] weaves together the familiar coming-of-age milestones such as sexual initiation, the fierce bonds of friendship and the need for independence with the shocking realities of military life—even beyond the battlefield." –Bookpage
"[An] elegantly written debut novel…25-year-old Boianjiu, drawing on her own years with the IDF, has written the story of a people's resignation to living in a world that's been strange for so long, they can no longer remember how strange it is." –The Forward
"An impressive debut…" —New York Post
"The extraordinarily gifted Shani Boianjiu has published a first novel that is tense and taut as a thriller yet romantic and psychologically astute….. Boianjiu writes with clarity about atrocity and the absurdity of endless war, but it's her tender acceptance of human frailty that ultimately makes this novel so engrossing." –More Magazine
"Boianjiu is clearly a gifted stylist and her first novel easily establishes her as a writer to watch." —The Christian Science Monitor
"[A] tour de force…Powerfully direct…wonderfully vivid…more than just another promising debut from a talented young writer, [The People of Forever are not Afraid] warrants our full attention." –Malibu Magazine
"The much-anticipated debut novel from 25-year-old Shani Boianjiu zigzags between the stories of three high-school friends, Yael, Avishag, and Lea, as they leave their small village on the Lebanese border to take up posts in the Israeli army… glimmers of humor and insight flash brightly in what is a brutally dark novel." –The Daily Beast
"The People of Forever Are Not Afraid provides a fine flavor of what Israeli military life is like for young women — no mean feat — and many of the episodes are engaging and revealing. Read it for that flavor and those stories." —The Washington Independent Review of Books
"The novel resonates with considerable power…The People of Forever avoids melodrama; it is a novel of nuance and smart anti-climax…This isn't the constantly detonating Israel of American newspaper headlines. Actually, the country portrayed is a much more interesting and harrowing place. Its citizens and soldiers, we see, live in quiet expectation of calamity." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"It is incredibly rare and spectacular to find an author who possesses the literary talent to transport us so completely and persuasively to an utterly foreign realm. First time novelist, 24-year-old Shani Boianjiu, has performed such a feat in The People of Forever Are Not Afraid (Hogarth/Crown, $24), her disturbing and provocative new book about the traumatic experiences of three young Israeli girls serving in the Israeli Defense Forces." —The Jewish Journal
"In her complex, gritty first novel, Boianjiu portrays young women drafted into the Israeli army as they come of age. This is a great choice for literary fiction readers who can appreciate a thoroughly distinctive narrative voice." — Library Journal, starred review
"Shani Boianjiu has found a way to expose the effects of war and national doctrine on the lives of young Israelis. So her subject is serious, but lest I make her work sound in any way heavy let me point out how funny she is, how disarming and full of life. Even when she is writing about death, Boianjiu is more full of life than any young writer I've come across in a long time." – Nicole Krauss, author of Great House and The History of Love
"[An] excellent debut novel…like Sheila Heti's How Should a Person Be? meets…The Things They Carried. Irreverent, sometimes touching and often deeply weird, we fell in love with Boianjiu's voice from the first page. Bottom line? It sucked us in and carried us off at gunpoint." —Flavorwire.com
"This haunting coming-of-age story skillfully portrays the individual side of a war not often spoke of, much less written about. Destined to be an award-winner, this novel gives the reader a unique perspective of war and the devastation experienced by those fighting it." –SheKnows.com
"The People of Forever Are Not Afraid is... carefully wrought, consciously structured, creatively imagined." –The New Republic
"[An] impressive debut." —Publishers Weekly
"Readers will embrace the complexity of the writing." —Kirkus Reviews
"Boianjiu's debut novel chronicles the gritty, restless experiences of three young women during their compulsory service in the Israeli Defense Forces…The bold, matter-of-fact narrative…[mirrors] the complexity of a landscape in perpetual transition." —Booklist
"The term 'a distinct new voice in literature" had became a cliché long before Shani Boianjiu was born, but there is no better way to describe her unique piercing tone. Reading it feels like having your heart sawn in to two by a very dull knife. The People of Forever are Not Afraid is one of those rare books that truly make you want to cry but at the same time doesn't allow you to." – Etgar Keret, author of The Nimrod Flipout
"This is big literature – the realism that nests inside the word surrealism." – Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances
"If anyone ever tells you the novel is dead, don't say anything, just give them this book. Shani Boianjiu is an enormous new talent. This is one of the boldest debuts I can think of---it reads like it was written in bullets, tear gas, road flares and love. I demand another book from her, immediately." – Alexander Chee, author of Edinburgh
"I was hooked on Shani Boianjiu's remarkable voice from the first sentence of this book. It's urgent, funny, horrifying, fresh, the kind of thing I've been dying to read for ages." –Miriam Toews, author of Irma Voth and A Complicated Kindness
"Boianjiu is a writer who should be talked about for literary reasons, not the least of which is that her stories refuse to submit to moral clichés." -The Times of Israel

Since she is an IDF veteran, I'm assuming some - though I hope not all - of this book is drawn from her real life background and service. Her characters and situations are presented unsympathetically, and that's a good thing. These feel like real lives on the page, with all the frustrations of military and civilian life.
Her portrayal of Israel itself is also unsympathetic and honest. There is no heroism or greater glory, but regular people living in a grim situation, beset by enemies on all sides. Her characters seem past the point of caring anymore, and it makes sense why the border patrol or checkpoint duty is dehumanizing on all sides.
The book's narrative jumps around, and lesser characters jump in and out without much introduction or explanation. It's difficult to follow the timeline, and I found myself flipping back and forth to remind myself what was going on. Individual scenes and moments are very powerful, but taken as a whole I found it didn't always connect together.Read more ›
The book starts by letting the reader know about the worries faced by the high school girls, such as the loss of a crush which happens to also be the loss of a sibling. The girls have different experiences in the army ranging from being a firearm instructor to a checkpoint guard. They witness horrific events during their service and experience horrific events, such as rape. Leaving the army changes them forever and their aspirations change from being grand to simply driving a car to serving as security in the Tel Aviv airport. Additionally, their army experiences causes them to better understand and relate to their family members who served before them.
Boinajiu's stream of consciousness and figurative style sometimes added to the book's narrative but other times detracted from its clarity. I couldn't always tell whether Boinajiu was recounting a real event, such as standing at a checkpoint, or an unreal event, such as pouring gasoline on a man's foot because the man allegedly poured gasoline on an olive tree's roots. Perhaps both experiences were real or not real. Also, I found it difficult to follow the lives of the three girls and understand why they did or did not act in certain ways.Read more ›
Stories like Checkpoint and Means of Suppressing Demonstrations will be classics. Other stories, like The After War, are surreal, confusing or plainly immature. Because of this the book is uneven and can easily frustrate a reader who is looking for a pleasant swim toward the happy end.
What make the stories so distinctly Israeli, are the monologues and dialogues written in IDF slang. It is dynamic, rough, vulgar, macabre, and as undisciplined as the Israeli Army itself. The bubbling teenager immaturity fortified by funky Arabic expressions of the slang is easily understood by Israelis but notoriously difficult to translate. Boianjiu wrote the novel in English (not her mother tongue) and is often quite good at conveying the grit and brashness of the slang. But sometimes translation fails, leaving the reader confused by unexpected profanity of misunderstood idiomatic expression.Read more ›

The waitress did not speak English but was very patient with our shoddy attempt at French and the food was absolutely Deliscious. All 4 members of our party agreed on this.

(Photo courtesy Margarita Checa)
LOVE, LOSS & LONGING, Bill Lowe Gallery's last show in its Bennett Street location before moving on to sleeker digs at Two Peachtree Point, features esteemed Peruvian artist Margarita Checa and continues on Wed., DEC. 19. African and Egyptian art strongly influence Checa, though her work feels distinctly contemporary. Checa's finely wrought, sensual and serene sculptures of children, animals and women, made primarily in olive, but also in mahogany and other woods with elaborate bull's-horn inlays, resonate with mythical and spiritual themes. There is a sense of sadness, too, and what one critic has called "the anguish of living." Through Dec. 22. Free. Tues.-Fri., 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. 75 Bennett St., A-2. 404-352-8114. www.lowegallery.com.

Do a Google search on "Vera Fang" and you won't find much about the Atlanta art-punk foursome whose debut 7-inch is out this week on Army of Bad Luck. You will, however, be asked if you meant to search for fashion designer Vera Wang, who's known for her signature gothy, frilly wedding dresses that are defined by their fairy-tale qualities. Wang's dresses accentuate the same dark, womanly drive of Vera Fang's sound, but as a metaphor it's a skewed reference where all puns are intended.
The lineup, which features vocalist Zopi Kristjanson, guitarist Jeff Cook, drummer Shane Patrick and bass player Sunni Johnson, concocts creeping punk songs oozing with threads of hidden narratives that never form coherent story lines. Their songs are bestowed with a lot more tooth and claw than Wang's dresses, and are filled with a raw and unsettled energy that's anything but tailor-made for the good life.
"Zopi came up with this idea of the flip side of Vera Wang as some kind of monster woman," Johnson says. "It fits with the band because most of our songs are about fantastical things and narratives."
Throughout the 7-inch, songs such as "Conscumption" and "Neon Neverland" piece together references to Willy Wonka, radical feminism and various other streams of consciousness, but a clear explanation is not part of the design.
At three-and-a-half minutes, "Herd" is the longest number on the record. Thunderous bass rhythms are counterweighed by Kristjanson's yapping and distorted vocals in a tussle between visceral rhythms and high-energy punch that propels each song with solid, danceable grooves and disparate tales as compelling as they are perplexing.

Police were called after receiving complaints that a fan was pouring beer on people in the stands
The Kansas City Star
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Overland Park man faces several charges after an altercation at Arrowhead Stadium Sunday during which he allegedly kicked a police officer in the groin.
Trenton J. Karlin, 28, is cited in Kansas City Municipal Court with assault, resisting arrest and making offensive contact. A video posted on Youtube shows officers attempting to arrest a man during the Chiefs game against the Dallas Cowboys.
The man refused to cooperate with officers when they tried to escort him away. Eventually, he was taken to the ground and and officers used a Taser on him. After he appeared to calm down and was being led away, he allegedly kicked one of the officers in the groin, according to the reports.

I would've thought it would be easy, but either there's something I'm missing, or I've been mentally challenged for the past hour.
I have a script that loads an external banner ad page into my main page via ajax. The way the script is setup, you call it from body onload of the main page and the variable for the ad page's location is already set inside the script, so it just places the page/ad in the chosen div'd location.
The onload call is:
The script I am using currently is:Code:ajax(page,'topads');
What I need is to make the location of the page it grabs set when I call it. Reason being is because I have two sets of ads on my main page that I want to handle like this. So basically, I want to be able to set all the options in the onload call so it would look like this:Code:var page = "ads/topads.php"; function ajax(url,target) { // native XMLHttpRequest object document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = 'Loading New Banner Ad...'; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.onreadystatechange = function() {ajaxDone(target);}; req.open("GET", url+"?bustcache="+new Date().getTime(), true); req.send(null); // IE/Windows ActiveX version } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); if (req) { req.onreadystatechange = function() {ajaxDone(target);}; req.open("GET", url+"?bustcache="+new Date().getTime(), true); req.send(); } } setTimeout("ajax(page,'topads')", 30000); } function ajaxDone(target) { // only if req is "loaded" if (req.readyState == 4) { // only if "OK" if (req.status == 200 || req.status == 304) { results = req.responseText; document.getElementById(target).innerHTML = results; } else { document.getElementById(target).innerHTML="ajax error:\n" + req.statusText; } } }
Sorry if this sounds dumb, I know it does to me, and I feel dumb for not even being able to figure it out when I am usually great with javascript. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!Code:ajax('ads/topads.php','topads');

Belgian Retailer Seeks Deal with Balkan-Wide Supermarkets
Belgian retailer Delhaize is expected to acquire 50% of Serbian conglomerate Delta Holding, which owns the chain Piccadilly, operating in Bulgaria.
Financial Times reported Thursday that the final agreement will be announced by early March, but Delhaize is expected to take a 50% stake of the Serbian supermarket network, which have annual earnings of more than EUR 1 B on a turnover of EUR 2.7 B.
The deal would make Delhaize the first big western European retailer to break into a regional market.
Delta Holding owns Maxi and Tempo chains, which are market leaders in Serbia and are spreading quickly into countries like Bulgaria, Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Belgian retailer is already active in Greece and Romania, having more than 200 and 50 stores respectively, and is planning to expand regionally.
Delta's owner, Miroslav Miskovic, has stated he wants to withdraw from retailing and focus on investing in his agro-businesses, like apple production and wholesaling.
"We will invest the money from the sale into development of agriculture, which is like "Serbian oil". Revenues from the export of agricultural products could significantly improve Serbia's export balance and external trade deficit," he said, as cited by Financial Times.
According to the publication, ownership would be split evenly for the moment, but Miscovic would give full management rights to Delhaize and sell the rest of his shares during the next three years.
At the Delhi's 20th anniversary this month, the owner said that the deal was a result of the decision to find a strategic partner for Maxi.
"What will happen very soon is the result of our decision to find a strategic partner for Delta Maxi. We are about to finalize our deal with a well-known European company, in a month's time," Miscovic said.

Editorial Reviews
In the studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation, The Beatles performed music for a variety of radio shows. Live At The BBC and On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2 presents the sound of The Beatles seizing their moment to play for the nation. Thrilled to hear these exciting recordings again, Paul McCartney said, 'There's a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in the best performance of our lifetimes.'
Between March 1962 and June 1965, no fewer than 275 unique musical performances by The Beatles were broadcast by the BBC in the U.K. The group played songs on 39 radio shows in 1963 alone. Ringo Starr said in 1994, 'You tend to forget that we were a working band. It's that mono sound. There were usually no overdubs. We were in at the count-in and that was it. I get excited listening to them.' On their busiest BBC day, 16 July 1963, The Beatles recorded 18 songs for three editions of their Pop Go The Beatles series in fewer than seven hours.

Finally, in 1994, Capitol/EMI released the first official version of The Beatles' BBC sessions, Live At The BBC. The two-CD set contained 56 songs, including 30 that were previously unreleased. It sold over five million copies worldwide, reaching Number One in the UK and Number Three in the U.S. Four additional BBC recordings appeared in 1995: three on the Baby It's You CD single, and a fourth recording on Anthology 1.Read more ›
John, Paul, George, and Ringo appeared no less than 52 times at the Beeb between 1962 and 1965, performing for "The Light Programme" at the beginning of their careers both in studio and before audiences on a variety of live shows. However, it's been nearly 20 years since the first volume of selected recordings from that era, "Live at the BBC," was officially released in 1994. It was a phenomenon, a number one box set that sold in the millions. It's been remastered and paired with a new set entitled "On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2," which at last brings us more of these broadcasts, two CDs full of great music, youthful exuberance, wit and humor. Both boxes contain 48-page booklets with an introduction (the second one by Sir Paul), a long essay, numerous photos, session details, and track-by-track commentary.
The first volume included 56 musical performances and 13 tracks of dialogue; 30 of the songs were previously unreleased by the BBC, EMI, Apple or Capitol.Read more ›

The Pueblo Chieftain says the top civilian overseeing the proposed expansion of the Pinon Canyon training site has been temporarily reassigned amid an administrative investigation.
The Chieftain quoted Army officials as saying the reassignment of Tom Warren has nothing to do with the proposed expansion.
No details of the investigation were immediately available. An Army spokeswoman didn't immediately return a call from The Associated Press Thursday. A phone message left for Warren wasn't immediately returned.

(Here's another excerpt from my upcoming mental toughness book. Guideline #1 was on being independent with your training. You can read it by checking it out a couple of blogs back. Looking forward to your comments. I appreciate any suggestions!. Thank you all!)
Guideline #2 Have Clear and Specific Physical and Life Goals
The main objective of this program is to be psychologically stronger. However, you also need physical goals to shoot for as well. The more specific your physical goals are, the easier they are for you to visualize. If you goal is to lose weight, really see yourself losing that 20 pounds by visualizing a leaner and more muscular body. Visualization is a powerful tool in this situation. The images you have in your mind of you reaching your physical goals should provoke you into wanting do the demanding Crossfit, barbell complex or Litvinov workout. Whatever images you have, they must be strong enough to motivate you to train, especially those times when you want to be a lazy ass like (unfortunately) your lovely friends and neighbors.

Before the Golden Gate Bridge was built, Marin County was a sleepy place, mostly open coastal meadow and virgin redwood forest. Wood was cheap. Many houses were built in an East Coast vernacular using local materials by ship's carpenters at turn of the 20th Century. Eager for some extra work while waiting for theirs ships to leave from San Francisco, what they built became a classic local style.

Mediocre Instructors – I am not really thrilled with the instructors on campus but they try their hardest i bleive but the work and exams are always more diffucul and not always covered in their lectures.
Mostly Caucasian Students – There are mostly white people but there is a minority percentage of Asian students as well as Afreican American students.
Sports Are Good – While we don't have the best sports teams the events are either free or relatively chap to attend, which make it very easy for the student population to attend such events and enjoy them without worrying about cost or inconvenience.
It literally end sup raining 5-6 days a week during the school year, I thought people were just saying stuff when they said it rained a lot before I came, but its true, it rains ALOT.
Health & Safety:
Bomb Threats – Over the course of the spring 2012 semester the University of Pittsburgh received 157 bomb threats. While following safety procedures to evacuate and search all threatened buildings the Pitt Police did an extremely excellent job not only providing us with a friendly and safe campus environment, but also provided students will a mental state of feeling safe and secure throughout the havoc. Had the campus police not done an effective job, the University of Pittsburgh would have not only lost many students, but lost their integrity as well.
The Pitt student ID works as a bus-pass so students can travel to and from campus at no cost. This is an awesome feature of attending the University of Pittsburgh
Campus Quality:
You Will Find Something That Interests You – There are a huge number of campus and student clubs and organizations that students can choose from. They include sports clubs, academic societies, special interest groups and more. And if you don't find exactly what you want, you are encouraged to form your own student group to promote what you're interested in! Also, I have to mention that the rock-climbing wall in the gym is especially amazing.
Off-Campus Dining:
So Much Variety! Oakland is the hot spot for trendy, interesting and cheap places to grub. If you are craving some noodles, LuLu's is the place to go on Craig Street. If you want some cheap American fare, Fuel and Fuddle is a great place to get your fix. There are any number of delis, bagel shops, sushi stops, greasy spoons, and of course restaurants like Black Bean Cuban Cuisine, and Thai Spice Island are sure to satisfy your exotic taste buds--and for a good price too. You can always find a good drink special when you need one.
Masters in Public and International Affairs – The workload for this program varies, but for the most part, it is quite demanding. The department spends a lot of time trying to prepare you for the real world, making sure that you have a handle on policy-decision-making, economics concepts, and helping you delve deeply into your specific area of interest. There are a huge amount of options to personalize your degree--for instance, you can take on a minor, pursue a double degree with the law or business school, or pursue a certificate in a specific country or region. You have to work hard, but you WILL be prepared to tackle the working world when you graduate.
Off-Campus Housing:
Good Deals, Close to Campus, Easy Access – There are many options available for off-campus housing around the Pitt campus. Pittsburgh is a relatively good-size metropolitan city, with many different neighborhoods to choose from. I would personally suggest Lawrenceville--a very artsy, friendly neighborhood with cheap options. If you are feeling fancy, you can live in Shadyside where apartments tend to be a little more expensive, but very safe. Oakland, the heart of the Pitt campus, is also a popular option, but places get snatched up quickly, and some say it's not as safe as they'd hope.
Available Courses for International Political Economy Majors M.P.I.A. Even though the major "International Political Economy" is advertised as an important component of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, the program relating specifically to this major leaves much to be desired. Most of the effort seems to be placed on the "Security and Intelligence Studies" major and courses. It was only recently that a new professor was hired that completely specializes in IPE--before there were only 1 or 2.
Really Enjoy My Program – At Pitt, I'm a Political Science major with a focus on international relations, and I minor in Spanish language. I'm also in the process of completing a Global Studies certificate to be paired with the political science major. It's a mouthful, but I love what I'm studying! All of the classes that I get to take are super interesting and all of the professors that I've had so far are really accessible and make the classes interesting. One of my favorite classes was taught by a guest lecturer and she had worked for NGOs around the world and was really helpful in leading me in the direction of possible career and internship opportunities. Ultimately, I plan to go on to law school and become an international human rights lawyer, so having an abundance of classes to choose from and helpful professors was a huge plus for me.
Guys & Girls:
Attractive Females – Since Pitt is a big school there are a lot of attractive females and a lot of them!
All Busses Are Free! If you are a Pitt student, every bus on campus and in the city is free of charge! You can get anyplace anytime for free!
Greek Life:
Go Greek? The greek scene at Pitt is pretty big, but you don't need to join to be included on campus and to have a good time. I decided not to join a frat, and I party just as much as they do and I garuntee I have just as much fun.
Party Scene:
Anyone can find a party to go to, but Pitt students can find a great party every weekend.
Communication a Bit of a Dud. I have to say the communication program at Pitt is disappointing. I want to be a television journalist, but there is no formal journalism program. The courses in communication are mostly theoretical and research-based, focusing more on graduate school than practical job experience skills. More practical courses are offered through certificate programs in the College of General Studies. As for finding a job in my field, while it might be harder, Pitt has a career office dedicated to getting students internships which is vital for communication majors. On another note, programs in the humanities are the weakest while engineering, medical sciences, and business reign supreme.
Campus Housing:
Pretty Average Options for Freshmen – As expected, Freshmen dorms are the lower animal of campus housing. Even so, Towers and dorms like it come with the basic amenities: gym, air conditioning, laundry, and lounges. Avoid Lothrop at all cost from what I hear. Students there, especially freshmen, hate it. Other then that, upperclassmen dorms are nicer, but all the dorms are livable and come with social opportunities.
Health & Safety:
The Real Deal – For me, Oakland, home to the university, is a very safe place considering where I've lived and what I've seen. South Oakland is known to be a little sketchy. That said, besides a few incidents you hear about, students shouldn't be too concerned for their safety if they take the necessary precautions. Safe Rider is available in any case.
Party Scene:
Party Party Party – Most of the nightlife, especially for under 21 students, centers around parties. Mostly, students start the weekend on Thirsty Thursday and continue into Saturday. There are many different options to choose from most nights whether its a frat party or house party (barring near the end of the term). If you don't drink or do that much, Pitt really doesn't offer much in the way of alternatives which can at times be frustrating.
Drug Safety:
Not Too Hardcore – To be honest, Pitt does have a drug scene which you will more or less experience while living on campus. The hardest most students go is weed with drinking being more popular. In my experience, while there may be some pressure or opportunity, people will respect your choice not to take part in such things.
Party Scene:
There's Something for EVERYONE – So, the campus isn't far from the neighborhood of South Side which literally has atleast 10 bars/club/etc withing each block if not more. Its great for the 21+ crowd. On campus there's so many events that students can go to. Clubs and organizations normally hold meetings and events at night. There are parties and mixers at the frats and house parties in south Oakland by campus. If you're looking for things that are underage friendly, most parties are. There's drinks for the 21+ crowd, but you don't have to do that and there's events like Improve night in the Cathedral and such. There's always something for someone.
Off-Campus Housing:
Decent choices for housing but you have to look early
Campus Quality:
Typical Freshman – As a freshman its hard to get to know your professors well
It Is Just Ok – Many scholarships are provided for specific areas, and they do not provide scholarships for international student.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, students agree that they wouldn't trade their Pitt experience for anything. As with most decisions, there are a lot of things to consider. If you don't like living in a city environment, Pittsburgh may not be the place for you. While it doesn't have the feel of New York of Philadelphia, the area is definitely urban. Also, Pitt is a large school—you're in for some big lecture classes and a somewhat overwhelming campus during the first year or so. Everything will seem to get smaller after you've been around awhile, though. Weather can be a concern if you're used to a warmer climate—snow, rain, and wind rule Pittsburgh winters. This is something that you can easily get used to though, unless you're a diehard warm weather fan.
What Pitt does offer is high-caliber academics, plenty of student organizations, and countless opportunities, such as study abroad, cultural activities, and sports. If you're willing to become active on campus, there's a lot more to Pitt than meets the eye. The University's location can also be a great advantage—Pittsburgh itself is a great city that is a positive environment for students to live and learn in, thanks in part to the city being home to a number of colleges and universities. The social scene is always jumping, locals are friendly, and there's always something to do if you explore a little. The best idea is to visit and try to get a feel for the area. You can get the same quality education at Pitt that can be found in many smaller, expensive schools, but here you'll pay less to have a vibrant city right at your doorstep.

Retired couple loses home in fire
By JOHN BURNETT
Tribune-Herald staff writer
Daniel Taka Sr. and his wife, Charlotte, were attending a wedding in Waimea when their Waiakea Uka home was destroyed by fire on Saturday night.
"When when we came home, that's what it was, like this already," he said and laughed ruefully Monday morning as he surveyed the rubble that was once the family's home of 45 years. Daniel Taka, who's retired from the county Department of Water Supply, said his children tried calling when they were notified about the fire, but the couple couldn't hear their cell phones ring because of the music.
"Finally, they got in touch with us and we came home," he said. "But it was already like this."
Taka built the single-story ranch-style home in 1968 on land he inherited from his family.
"I started designing this house, myself, way back when. A lot of memories are here," he said.
Charlotte Taka said family heirlooms and sentimental items saved over 53 years of marriage were wiped out by the blaze, which Fire Department officials said caused about $200,000 in damage.
"We have cards that we made for each other and the kids made things in school. All those things I had in a drawer. I had love letters from when we were younger. All those things that I love looking at, all gone," she said. "A lot of personal things lost. It's very, very tough on us. We lost everything. But I'm glad nobody was in the house, nobody was around."
The Takas have five children, 18 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
"So much memories and we're never gonna get those back, except in my heart. But we have a supportive family and that helps a lot," Charlotte Taka said.
Nine units responded to the 8:45 p.m. alarm and battled the blaze, but to no avail. The few charred posts left standing held up remnants of the corrugated metal roof. Fortunately, a portable propane gas tank near the house didn't explode, or the fire could have consumed the surrounding trees and perhaps spread to neighboring homes.
"I was surprised," Daniel Taka said. "I had a couple of gas burners outside, you know, the kind you take camping."
The home is insured, and the family's agent, Nelson Fukuhara, was there taking photos to document the damage on Monday morning. Fukuhara said he was told by a fire inspector that the blaze appeared to be electrical in nature.
"They brought the (accelerant-sniffing) dog through here," he said.
There were downed utility lines on the property still connected to a roadside pole. Fukuhara said the lines had been deactivated.
Charlotte Taka called the loss of the family home "a shocker."
"I know the house is old, but still, we maintained it pretty good inside," she said. "We're gonna have to cut down some of the trees and rebuild. Nelson said, 'We're gonna get you a new house.'"
Fukuhara said that although the Takas can rebuild, "nothing can replace sentimental value."
Charlotte Taka said "thanks to Nelson," the couple is in a hotel for now. Local American Red Cross volunteers also responded to assist, the organization stated in a written release.
The Red Cross encourages all families to make a disaster plan to include an evacuation plan with two different routes of escape, a communications plan to help families reconnect after disaster and a disaster supplies kit that is readily available to aid in a quick evacuation. Information on developing a family plan is available at www.redcross.org, or by calling (808) 734-2101.
The non-profit humanitarian organization provides free assistance to meet the immediate emergency needs of those affected by disasters. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it depends on public contributions to help others. Contributions can be mailed to: American Red Cross, Hawaii State Chapter, 55 Ululani St., Hilo, HI 96720.

JJ Games is über awesome!
"Don't get the bad reviews?? Prices are best around, turnaround time amazing, and all 20 games I have purchased work fine. Scratches and scribbles on the covers but these were clearly detailed in the description. Look forward to more purchases."
It is a scam, watch out!
"Some items were broken, I was asked to ship back the items at my cost. Items were not returned. "
Don't Buy Games From Them
"I ordered 2games from them the date they were to arrive never showed up so I waited until a day after that date still no arrival in the mail then I emailed jjgames and they said they cancelled my order due to a high possibility of my identity being fake because i never answered a mystery email i never got and the weirder part is I checked before that email and it was still in the process of being delivered. So to me from this very experience I'd more recommend going to game stop or a pawn shop physically then ordering from this online gaming retailer its nothing more then a scam."
As my 1989 self would say, "JJ Games is Totally Legit!"
"After reading all the negative feedback regarding JJ Games, I was a little worried. However, I placed an order for a Nintendo NES and a number of Nintendo games through the JJ Games website on a Thursday. I received everything ordered, in the exact condition expected, within 10 business days. The prices comparable if not lower than anywhere else I looked. I am more than pleased with my JJ Games experience and will be ordering from them again."
"DO NOT BUY FROM JJ GAMES!! I ordered a game from them and a month later I still have not received my purchase! They did not provide tracking and every time I have tried to contact them all they say is they have no way to track it so they cannot do anything about it. I finally just said I wanted a refund and now they will not respond back to me and I have not gotten my money back. I just want to warn anyone who is thinking about buying from them. It is not worth the hassle you will just be throwing your money away. "
"I bought four games from them, one arrived a month late, one arrived with a broken box, the last one was just never sent to me. And for areason I don't understand, I won't get a refund. "
Best prices and great selection!
"I've been ordering games from jjgames for the past 2 years and everytime I know exactly what I'm getting. Their selection on the site is accurate and I like how you can select which type of game you want (great condition, scratched label, no box, sleeve only, etc.). They always have the lowest prices for retro games. The games always arrive a few days earlier than expected (and I'm in Canada!!). If they don't have an item in stock and you click to "notify me when stocked", they normally get the game in stock within a week. Fantastic site! "
Live and Learn
"If I could give this company less than one star then I certainly would. First, I was less than impressed with the shipping time however it did fall into the time period that was stated therefore I honestly can't hold it against them. The issue which is a huge issue in my opinion was this: the game arrived cracked. It didn't even come in a case but instead a paper sleeve. My son put it in his system and low and behold it did not work. It would spin and occasionally the system would say it didn't recognize it. He was devastated. He spent his own money on the game and waited over a week for it. I sent an email to their customer service department the same day it arrived. I attached pics of the disc. I was sent an email that stated the company was sorry and I could return my order or any part of my order by using a link. It was obvious this was a copied and pasted response. I ordered one item therefore I could not return "part" of it unless I decided to return half of the disc which considering the sizeable crack I suppose it would've been possible. I checked out the link to find some instructions about breathing on the disc and cleaning it with a cloth. Yes, that would certainly fix said crack right up. I was instructed to print out the label and send it back. If they found the disc to be faulty then I would receive my money in 2-3 weeks. I plan on abiding by this absurd policy (I'll send it back in a PADDED envelope) however I did send another email with the a video of the severity of the crack. I received no response. I'm not surprised. I couldn't get an original response the first go round. I have several concerns. 1. I will send the game back and be told it was never received. No worries. I'll be sure to have a signature required. 2. I will not receive a refund. 3. They will have the nerve to say the game is not broken. That's okay. I have proof. 4. I will get only a partial refund. 5. (The biggest concern) These people will have the audacity to send this game to another child. Come on, the odds are a Spiderman game is for a child. At first I thought it was possibly damaged in shipping due to its lack of protection but upon further investigation I noticed the crack appears to have a film over it. Is it possible they tried to fix the crack? I can't say for sure however in the end, the game was a total waste of my child's money. My mother had it right when I was child. Kids should play outside more and video games less. Live and learn. Buyer beware."
Great company!!!!!

"I bought Dragon age Origins ultimate edition and was advertised as ultimate edition only received disc 1..I got ripped off no DLC and there is no one to talk to on the phone no one returns your call. I sent the game back 3 weeks ago checked the tracking number,,they have it and never refunded my money"
"I ordered a game disc as a gift. It arrived so scratched and damaged that it was totally unreadable. Tried two different Xboxes to be sure. I have had a constant hassle trying to get a replacement. The web site returns page is not working, but they refuse to issue a replacement unless I go through their web site return procedure, print out a return label and return the defective disc. I think the guy who runs it is running a scam. I am still fighting with him over this issue. If I ever get any satisfaction, I will update this, but I am not hopeful. I think he makes a lot of money by ripping people off. BEWARE of this seller. The free shipping is an enticement to buy, but next time I will buy through Amazon where I can be assured of satisfaction. "
"What a wonderful company. First I brought the Kinnect game, Adventures, for $2, free shipping! It game within days, in excellent condition. Then, I ordered an Xbox 360 with Kinnect for $140, with a $15 credit from my game order- how nice! It also game quickly, missing the power supply. I emailed, received an apology within less than 2 hours, and a notice that the power supply was on the way. Wow!"
"Ordered a 360 game and it cane deeply scratched. So scratched the xbox wontweven recognize it. Wonder why they sell things that they don't even check? Returning it and will update with return experience later."
"Make sure to play your games fast. They sent me a defective disc and I did not start playing the game for about 6 weeks. Now they say it's too late. I never asked for a refund, just a working disc and their replied was to order and pay for another disc."

Thee Oh Sees
Thee Oh Sees are the latest incarnation of songwriter, singer and guitarist John Dwyer's group. Dwyer, who hails from Providence, RI, has been active on the San Francisco indie scene since the late '90s, working with several bands, including the Coachwhips, Pink & Brown, Yikes, Up Its Alive, and Swords & Sandals, among others, and he formed OCS initially as a vehicle for the experimental instrumentals he was producing in his home studio.
In time, OCS morphed into an actual band and worked under the usual flurry of names, most notably as the Oh Sees or the Ohsees, and eventually as Thee Oh Sees, featuring Dwyer on guitar and vocals, Brigid Dawson on vocals and tambourine, Petey Dammit on guitar, and Mike Shoun on drums.

Best South Park episode in a while.
Winter is coming...
anyone else think the episode seems to favor the xbox (most kids want it, the PS is supported by nerds and goths), while in reality it seems more people are excited about the PS? i only caught the last 15 mins or so but i did see about 3 or 4 xbox ads during the commercials as well. anyone else get the same ads?

And I also want to thank the Tumblr editor of Architecture for distinguishing this picture with a blue tag, I would lie if I said it was not a very pleasant surprise :)!

Around the Association
MVP: We'll remember the last-second, game-winning layup most, but Andre Miller dominated the entire fourth quarter. The 37-year-old scored 18 of his game-high 28 points in the final stanza, almost single-handedly keeping the stubborn Warriors at bay.
X factor: Golden State led 62-58 with 3:19 left in the third quarter, but Denver closed on a 14-4 run to end the period that proved too much to overcome. Corey Brewer hit two 3-pointers during the Nuggets' binge, and from there the scoring floodgates were open.
That was ... emotionally exhausting: Both teams saved the most exciting and potentially disheartening action for last -- Miller's heroics, Steph Curry's nearly game-saving 3-pointer and a right leg injury to David Lee marked a wild, wild finish.
MVP: For those hoping for an extension of his April brilliance, Melo's helter-skelter outing (36 points on 29 shots) was as sobering as it was indispensable. If the C's can make it this hard consistently, Bockers beware.
X factor: Turnovers. The Celtics committed 20 of them, including 15 by way of steals -- a bevy of those at crucial points down the stretch. Many applauded the Rondo-less offense for its intermittent dynamism, but this is the flip side.
That was ... a heckuva start. Only fitting that this year's playoffs launched with these two ancient rivals doing their parts to help lead a bewildered city -- and country -- back to normalcy. Solidarity expressed, the bad blood rejoined. More please!
MVP: Brook Lopez. Best scoring big in the NBA? Best scoring big in the NBA. With Joakim Noah too dinged-up to stay in the game for long, Lopez was a force inside and proved too difficult for Chicago's depleted bigs to guard. He nailed all of his foul shots, too, and led the first wave of offense that put the game out of sight.
X factor: Gerald Wallace. This was literally Wallace's best game in months, and maybe of the entire year. He didn't miss a shot until the third quarter, scoring six straight points at one stretch while providing his characteristically frenetic defense for a balanced effort that's been missing during his season-long shooting slump.
That was ... reassuring: There isn't a better way to kick off franchise history than by pacing an easy blowout victory over a team that plenty of pundits picked to win. It's just one game, yes, but all of the fan base's worries were absolved as almost every player did well, save for a few Jerry Stackhouse air balls.
The Pressure's On Carmelo
If now isn't the time, it'll never happen.
Not for the foreseeable future, anyway, for these New York Knicks. Not for a city craving a return to basketball relevancy beyond 82 regular-season games. And certainly not for Carmelo Anthony, the league's scoring champion and viable MVP candidate, under immense pressure to produce now more than ever before -- no matter what he says to the contrary.
It is perfectly within Melo's right to utter "No! None at all!" when asked if there's additional pressure resting on his broad shoulders. But taking into account his 1-8 playoff record as a Knick, his 17-38 career playoff record and just one -- yes, one! -- trip beyond the first round in nine postseason appearances, it's appropriate for anyone else to consider such banter utter nonsense and to make sure Melo knows exactly what's expected of him.
Let it be said here that the Knicks will win this first-round series versus the Boston Celtics in six games. That victory will involve the Knicks simply being a better team, having more depth and more firepower. It won't hurt that Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce have aged, Rajon Rondo is out for the season, and Ray Allen is busy trying to win a title in Miami.
Yet the reality is none of that should matter for the Knicks this year, at this moment, because they have Melo -- a man whose hunger and drive should supersede the 28.7 points he averaged per game this season.
How many times do you have to lose? When does fatigue kick in from watching his boys from the 2003 draft class (LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh) enjoy the kind of celebrations that have evaded Melo for his entire career?
"We ain't thinking about Miami right now," Anthony told reporters Thursday. "We'll let Milwaukee have to deal with that problem. We've got a big task on our hands, and that's the Celtics. No way we should be thinking about Miami at this time. We have a big enough task of our own."
Melo is correct. The Knicks should not be thinking about the Miami Heat at all, not with KG and Pierce on deck -- two individuals with a championship on their résumés -- along with coach Doc Rivers, who seems to exhibit a heightened level of excellence around this time of year.
It's important to acknowledge that Avery Bradley could cause Raymond Felton problems. Tyson Chandler and Kenyon Martin might not be 100 percent, no matter what they say. And J.R. Smith, regardless of his 18.1 points per game and imminent Sixth Man of the Year Award, is still a potential wild card -- purely due to the kind of defense Boston is capable of playing.
But if you're Anthony, you have to recognize that a scoring sensation such as yourself can't get outplayed by Jeff Green.
Omit Melo from the equation and the Celtics win this series. Count on Melo being the prolific, versatile scoring machine he has primarily been throughout his entire career and this should not be a series the Knicks end up losing.
"I'm 100 percent baby," Chandler told me at the premiere of Amar'e Stoudemire's documentary, "In the Moment," on Thursday. "As I told folks earlier, this is the best I've felt in a long time. It actually was a blessing in disguise I was able to get that time off, because now I'll have fresh legs throughout the playoffs. I'm excited about this long, long run we're about to endure.
"You know it's going to be a physical series because it's Boston. It's playoff basketball. It's two teams who don't like each other. But we're prepared for this. We don't have a choice."
Actually, the Knicks do.
Without a productive Melo, the Knicks have all the excuses in the world. Martin's knee. Both of Stoudemire's knees. Chandler's neck. Rasheed Wallace's retirement. Pablo Prigioni's ankle sprain. Bad luck. Questionable ownership. An inferiority complex. The Celtics, Pacers and Heat.
The same can't be said for Melo.
It's his team. His time. And if ever there was an argument to be made for it being his destiny, now would be the time.
Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are not standing in his way this time. Neither are Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. There's no shame in losing to LeBron and the Heat, but being the No. 2 seed in the East comes with expectations. And that entails extending your playoff life beyond the first round for a second time in your career and beating everyone leading up to the Heat.
"It's been a long road, a long roller coaster," Knicks coach Mike Woodson told reporters Thursday, reflecting on the season. "We hung on as a team and put ourselves in the best position we possibly could. Despite our injuries, the fact that we are committed, we overcame."
They overcame an abundance of injuries during the season. Enough so that they were able to win the Atlantic Division for the first time since 1994, win at least 50 games for the first time since 1999-2000 and capture the second seed in the East.
So a berth in the Eastern Conference finals isn't too much to ask.
Especially now.
Especially from Melo.

Scouting Celtics-Knicks
Will good Melo or bad Melo show up?
Elhassan: That all depends on whether the Knicks' perimeter shooters are on their game. Anthony tends to revert back to his bad Melo ways when the offensive system is failing, feeling a need to carry the team. This leads to a stagnation of the offense, with players standing around and watching Anthony as he jab steps from the mid-post before putting up a contested 15-footer. The Celtics will try mix up the defensive looks they give Anthony, making it tougher for him to decide whether to kick out or take his time against what appears to be one-on-one coverage. Ultimately, it comes down to his trust in his teammates to keep the defense honest.
Doolittle: The answer won't be determined by how often Anthony shoots but where he shoots from. He averaged 25 shots per game during the Knicks' strong finish, and the team leads the NBA in offensive efficiency during that span. During the early season New York spurt, Anthony split his shots from midrange and at the rim evenly. Since March 18, he and the Knicks have both been on fire, but he has reverted to lots of elbow jumpers. Even while finishing strong overall, he went a combined 40-for-103 against the elite defenses of Boston, Memphis, Chicago and Indiana.

Scouting Warriors-Nuggets
Both teams are hurting. How much will injuries play a role in this series?
Elhassan: Expect injuries to be a major concern for both teams. Obviously, Stephen Curry's ankles are and probably will always be a source of concern for the Warriors, but much of Golden State's hopes for success beyond a mere playoff appearance lie with Andrew Bogut, who has battled injuries all season. Bogut's ability to protect the rim and rebound is vital, but he also presents a legitimate post presence and facilitator on the offensive end (when healthy).
The Nuggets, on the other hand, have dealt with injuries to key personnel down the stretch, most notably Danilo Gallinari's torn ACL. The main difference is Denver has the depth to survive these absences.
Doolittle: Since Gallinari was injured, Denver has won five of six while ranking in the top seven in efficiency on both ends of the floor. The thing about Denver's depth is that it's not just a fully-stocked rotation. The non-rotation group of players is probably the best in the league. Recently Anthony Randolph and Evan Fournier have stepped up, and if more injuries happen, Timofey Mozgov is on hand. The Nuggets are well positioned to overcome injuries. Golden State signed Dwayne Jones -- it really needs Bogut and Andris Biedrins to be healthy enough to prevent Jones-as-paint-protector scenarios.
Scouting Grizzlies-Clippers
What is the most significant change in this series (for both teams) since last season?
Elhassan: Both rosters have undergone major changes. The Clippers brought in an almost entirely new supporting cast to help Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, most notably Sixth Man of the Year candidate Jamal Crawford and versatile big Lamar Odom. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies consummated two midseason trades, highlighted by the deal that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto.
You can argue that the Clippers upgraded their talent while Memphis upgraded its "fit," bringing in players who don't need the ball as much as Gay does. The addition of Odom to L.A. and Ed Davis to Memphis re-emphasizes the need among both teams to win the frontcourt battle.
Doolittle: For Memphis, it's obviously the transition at small forward from Gay to Tayshaun Prince, while for the Clippers it's the souped-up bench with Crawford, Matt Barnes and Eric Bledsoe. By refocusing their offense, the Grizzlies have improved their offense by 3.5 points per 100 possessions since the trade with Toronto while remaining an excellent defensive team.
Meanwhile, Paul's plus-minus has declined by 7.3 points over last season, and Griffin's has dropped by a staggering 17.5 points. But it's not because either player has slipped at all -- the Clippers' bench is just that much better.

Men's Cross Country
Sept. 2, 2010
Malibu, Calif. - The USD Torero distance squads completed their first day of competition at Alumni Park on the campus of Pepperdine University. It was a humbling day for the Torero squad given the results of the race.
The Men kicked off the race and ran a strong first half of the race. They pushed the pace and challenged the wave runners very well. The advantage of knowing your home course paid off for the Pepperdine runners on the 2nd half of the race. They moved up on our guys and attacked the critical hills when they were supposed to and it made the difference on the outcome.
The Women's race shortly followed, and the results were similar in the outcome. Nevertheless, many of the women moved up aggressively on the 2nd half of the race.
"Our goal was to come out and compete and measure the racing depth of both of our teams" said Coach Guarino. "One must hand it to both Pepperdine and Cal State Bakersfield for their results. Our focus is the Conference and the NCAA Regional race. We just completed the most rigorous two weeks of pre-season training camp that we have ever had at USD and it caught up to us. This team understood that going into the race and know that the aim is 59 days away at the Conference Championship and some critical benchmarks that we must be hit along the way."
The team will re-focus on training and will also prepare to race at the Aztec Invite on Saturday, September 18, 2010.
