Marc Chagall (1887–1985) is best known for a certain, well, shtick: a Fiddler on the Roof vision of shtetl life as a mysticism-infused idyll, bathed in prismatic hues and filled with levitating animals and people. But Chagall was Jewish, after all, and more than a little aware of the precarious position of Europe's Jews in the years before World War II. Under Stalin, the Russian Revolution had turned against them, while in Germany, Hitler's rise set the stage for the Holocaust—precipitating Chagall's escape to New York in 1941. Just how these events impacted his art is the subject of this survey of works from the 1930s and 1940s.
With the walls painted a dark blue and punctured by spotlights, the pieces appear to swim out of the gloom, as if awakened from uneasy dreams (to paraphrase Kafka). While it's odd to think of Chagall in a grim context, the exhibit demonstrates that he often depicted himself in a tortured vein: Crucifixes are a recurring motif, sometimes with the artist nailed to them, sometimes with the original occupant presented not as the Christ, but as the symbol of all afflicted Jews, including the artist.
As much as this Jesus fixation is something of a revelation, however, the emotional core of the show rests on Chagall's devastation over the sudden death of his beloved wife, Bella, in 1944. This sorrow would color his output until well after the war's end. The fantastical nature of Chagall art makes it easy to forget that his work was autobiographical; in that sense, the show adds some necessarily darker tones to our view of him.—Howard Halle

Men's NCAA South Regional Results
Women's NCAA South Regional Results
By Eric Trainer, Associate Director of Media Relations
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Lady Vol senior Brittany Sheffey qualified for her first NCAA Championship meet, and Vol senior Chris Bodary will have to wait and see, after both gave their all for Tennessee Saturday in the NCAA South Regional at Harry Pritchett Running Park.
While the Big Orange got superb individual efforts from their leaders, as has been customary this season, nothing else seemed to fall in place for J.J. Clark's teams. As a result, the Vols turned in a 12th-place showing out of 24 teams, tallying 341 points. The Lady Vols, who finished the race without three of their projected top-five runners, checked in 13th out of 27 schools with 384 points.
Sixteenth-ranked Florida State captured the men's title, accumulating 40 points, followed by Florida with 68, sending both on to the NCAA meet in Terre Haute, Ind., on Nov. 21. In the women's race, top-ranked Florida State and No. 4 Vanderbilt advanced to nationals, tallying point totals of 34 and 54, respectively.
Sheffey made her third All-South Region squad and earned her first national bid, covering the 6000-meter course in 20:46.2 to place eighth of 191 runners. Having won the 5K Crimson Classic on the same course on Oct. 15, Sheffey returned Saturday and produced her fourth top-10 finish of the season and sixth of her career.
The native of Bellport, N.Y., finished a perfect 24 of 24 races in her college career of counting toward Tennessee's point total. She'll now run individually in the NCAA Championship meet after earning a bid as one of the top four runners not on the two automatic-advancing teams. It marks the eighth time in Clark's 10 seasons of leading the women's program that he had either a team or individual competing at the national meet.
"Brittany rebounded very nicely from the SEC meet and beat some runners today that finished ahead of her in that race," said Clark, UT's director of track & field/cross country. "It was very rewarding and exciting to see her punch her ticket to the NCAA Championship meet for the first time. We look forward to seeing what she can do in Terre Haute nine days from now."
As he has done all season long, Bodary blazed a trail for his Vol teammates to follow, crossing the finish line 12th out of 159 men in 31 minutes, 30.2 seconds over 10,000 meters. It was an improvement of 11 places over 2010 and enabled the native of Downington, Pa., to earn All-South Region accolades for the second year in a row.
Bodary held nothing back in trying to secure an individual NCAA Championship meet berth, but he came up just short of an automatic bid. The top four runners not on the two NCAA automatic-qualifying squads receive invitations, and Bodary was the sixth such finisher. He'll have to hope for an at-large nod when the NCAA makes its announcement on Sunday evening.
"I am very proud of Chris Bodary and the effort he gave today," Clark said. "He did a great job of executing the plan and was right there in the position he needed to be. He was five seconds out of that fourth automatic individual spot and just a half second behind the fifth guy, so we'll have to see what happens Sunday and whether he receives one of the at-large bids."
Sophomore Jake Rainey was Tennessee's second finisher in the men's race, winding up 35th in 32:27.6 for his second strong outing in a row after running ninth for the Vols here on Oct. 15 at the Crimson Classic. Freshman Austin Whitelaw was the third Vol to finish, running 33:32.7 to place 80th (79th scorer), followed by sophomore Stephen Derlath in 110th (106th) at 34:13.4 and freshman Jeremy Dickie in 113th (109th) at 34:22.5 to round out the scoring five.
Tennessee's fortunes took a damaging blow in the early going of the men's race, when senior Tom Gilmartin suffered an injury. He gamely finished the course, but he wasn't in UT's scoring five for the first time this season.
As for the Lady Vols, the absence of junior Ramzee Fondren and freshman Kacey Nobert, and the inability of sophomore Amber Zimmerman to complete the race, proved too much to overcome. All three were expected by Clark to be in his top five based on their performances at the past several meets.
After Sheffey, senior Chanelle Price was the Big Orange's next female finisher, placing 60th (55th) in 22:13.9. Also counting toward the final total were junior Kelsey Kane in 92nd (85th) with a career-best 22:48.6, freshman Amirah Johnson in 123rd (115th) at 23:27.9 and junior Nijgia Snapp in 131st with a career-best 23:39.5.
"I've said it all season long; everyone has to run perfectly for us to do well," Clark said. "That was not the case for us today, due to some circumstances beyond our control.
"Tommy G. wasn't himself after being injured early in the race, and to lose him out of that top five hurt. I feel that overall, the transition for the guys and me this season was a successful one, and it only gets better from here.
"On the women's side, I don't care what kind of team you have, you can't overcome three runners out of your top five not being in the mix. Considering what we lost, we held together pretty well to finish where we did after coming in ranked 10th in the region."

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, and these infections can often be difficult and expensive to treat. One strategy to reduce MRSA infection rates in the healthcare setting is the screening of patients for nasal or throat colonization and isolating patients to control spread of the bacteria. Many states have already enacted laws mandating screening of certain patients. Do these policies actually help reduce the incidence of disease or do they just drive up healthcare costs? Presenters in this press conference discuss the latest research on both sides of this issue.

A family man working for a sinking supermarket chain enters into an affair with his sexy and spirited new boss, whose efforts to turn him into a high-powered executive mean less time spent with his wife and son in this comedy from writer/director Michael Walker (Chasing Sleep). Pete (Eric Mabius) used to work in the music industry. But after that career fell through, he somehow wound up in the pricing department of a grocery-store chain that's about to go under. Much to Pete's surprise, things start to look up when he gets a new boss named Susan (Parker Posey) whose infectious enthusiasm and unorthodox approach give the struggling business a much-needed boost. Meanwhile, Susan sees great potential in Pete, and begins focusing her energy on transforming him into a key player for the company. The more time Susan and Pete spend together, however, the further the once-happy husband and father drifts away from his wife and son. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

text: HANOVER, Germany, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that it has gone live on the SAP® Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) application powered by the SAP HANA® platform in a record time of 2.5 months. More than 14,000 SAP employees worldwide, among them over 4,000 concurrent users, access the system weekly. They now benefit from secure, real-time access to business-critical data wherever they are for increased productivity, business performance and improved decision-making. The announcement was made at CeBIT 2013, being held March 5-9 in Hanover, Germany. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO) In today's business world, speed and mobility matter. Business users expect fast response times as well as high quality and reliable information in their software. Additionally, the traditional desktop approach is long gone, with users demanding access to information anytime, anywhere and in real time via their preferred mobile device. In 2010, SAP outlined for the first time how in-memory computing and SAP HANA would dramatically increase the availability and speed of business information. Since then, SAP HANA has become the product with the fastest-growing customer pipeline in company history. SAP migrated its business-critical CRM system to SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA through a project that was completed in record time, making the company the first customer to go live with the new solution. "Real-time access to our customer pipeline allows us the ability to consistently analyze our business and know exactly where to focus additional resources and planning efforts. SAP Global Customer Operations is a vocal advocate of how SAP constantly delivers innovative business applications based on SAP HANA, in addition to serving as a highly-active internal customer," said Robert Enslin, president of Global Customer Operations and member of Global Managing Board of SAP AG. "With the migration of our own CRM system to SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA, we now benefit from accelerating the solution non-disruptively and providing decision-making insights from the account level through senior management, anytime, anyplace." "Making SAP CRM available on SAP HANA was only the first step. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are widely used across SAP, and they are also the preferred option for accessing customer information," said Oliver Bussmann, chief information officer, SAP AG. "That's why it is particularly important to us to embed SAP CRM on SAP HANA into our mobile strategy." Increased Performance Throughout the SystemImplementing SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA results in increased performance that can be measured in different processes throughout the system. These include relatively simple processes such as business partner and contact creation, along with more complex processes such as the conversion from activity to lead to opportunity, and account and opportunity management. Early user feedback highlights performance improvements in the area of call center management, especially in search and reporting scenarios. SAP benefits from SAP CRM powered by SAP HANA by making decisions in real time, accelerating business performance, increasing business productivity and improving IT efficiency.

Gov. Granholm Announces Appointment of Law School Alumnus as Chairperson of Michigan Public Service Commission
DETROIT (Sept. 6, 2007) – Gov. Jennifer Granholm recently announced the appointment of Orjiakor N. Isiogu, a 1989 Wayne State University Law School alumnus, as chairperson of the Michigan Public Service Commission.
"Serving as chairperson of the Michigan Public Service Commission is a high honor," said Wayne State University Law School Dean Frank H. Wu. "Orjiakor has demonstrated his keen ability to lead and excel in the legal community and has been recognized for his efforts. I commend and congratulate him on his appointment."
The appointment of Isiogu, who will represent Democrats on the regulatory agency, is effective Sept. 9 and runs through July 2, 2013. He will complete the term of Laura Chappelle, a Republican who resigned from the commission earlier this year.
Isiogu, of Okemos, most recently served as director of telecommunications for the MPSC. He previously served as an assistant attorney general representing the state, its agencies and consumer interests in state and federal proceedings involving utilities such as natural gas, electric and telecommunications.
Orjiakor Isiogu earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Wayne State University in 1985 and his juris doctorate degree in 1989.
His appointment is subject to Section 6 of Article V of the Michigan State Constitution of 1963 and stands confirmed unless disapproved by the Michigan Senate within 60 days.
Wayne State University Law School has served the Detroit metropolitan area since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located at 471 W. Palmer St. in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media and distance learning classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized and expert faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, are experts in their disciplines and include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

Find a greener diaper solution
There are variety of cloth diapers and diaper covers to fit your needs from prefolds, to fitted diapers, to pocket diapers, and more. You will be making a difference with any type of cloth diapering, but choosing natural fibers such as organic cotton, hemp and wool will be more Earth-friendly when it comes time to discard the diapers.
If you need the convenience of disposable diapers, there are options available that do not use chlorine bleach and use fewer or no chemicals. Nature Babycare, Seventh Generation, and gDiapers provide more environmentally-friendly disposable diapering options.
Gdiapers' diapering system features a compostable and flushable diaper insert. The diaper consists of the little g pant (washable, cotton outer layer), a snap-in liner (to prevent leaks) and a flushable diaper refill. The wet refills can simply be tossed in a compost pile and will disappear in about 90 days, which is no time at all compared with a disposable diaper that can take up to 500 years to decompose.

Beth over at Shut Up and Run! did a great post today, giving us a glimpse (okay, more than a glimpse, there was poop talk) into her life and asking her readers to do the same. Since I know you spend most of your day wondering about me (don't you???), I'm happy to provide you with more detail than you could possibly care to know.
3:53 am. Wake up and look at the clock. My alarm is set to go off at 4, so I have the choice to get up now or sleep just long enough for the alarm to scare the crap out of me in seven minutes. I choose to get up now. Like a zombie in search of brains, I head to the kitchen for coffee and turn on the computer on my way there. I check email, Facebook and blogs while I drink my coffee and eat breakfast. All too soon, I have to get ready for work.
4:55 am. Arrive at work for my 5 am – 10 am shift. I'm a fitness coach at a health club, which mostly involves listening to women bitch about how they can't lose weight while they're half-assing their way through a workout. Okay, that's not entirely true. There are plenty of members who are serious about their health, which is the part of my job that I love, but there are also a lot of people who just want me to give them a magic pill that'll make them "thin." Ugh! I'm on my feet the whole time I'm at work because there literally isn't a chair for me to sit in, even when I'm doing computer/paperwork stuff. One of these days I'm going to wear my pedometer to work and see how many thousands of steps I take in a five hour shift.
10:10 am. Eat a Clif bar in my car on the way home so I can hopefully have enough energy to get through today's tempo run.
10:15 am. Stop at Walmart on my way home because my headphones crapped out on my last run. I'm so glad I remembered this before I got home.
10:50 am. I've gone to the bathroom, chatted briefly with The Hubs about his morning, changed my clothes, made a Nuun, and tested out the new headphones, so I am out the door for my 7-miler. The one mile warmup feels like I am going to die. My legs are like wooden planks and simply won't turn over at anything that feels like a running pace. I turn a corner into the long part of my run and it's a headwind. I briefly consider bagging the run, but then my Garmin beeps for the five miles at tempo pace (8:15) and suddenly I'm flying and everything in the world is just the way it's supposed to be. Not only do I make my tempo goal pace, I finish the whole 7 miles with an 8:14 average pace, sweaty and happy.
Noon. Now it's time to scramble through a shower, shovel down my lunch and have a quick conversation with The Hubs about his nutrition plan for this weekend's Half Ironman. He is debating the idea of trying out something new. I know it's just his race nerves talking, but still, I have no patience for this nonsense. In my really nice, gentle, supportive-wife voice I ask, "Are you effing kidding me?" He changes his mind and decides to go with products he has used with success in training.
1 pm. The Hubs heads off to work and I'm off to volunteer in Little Boy's classroom. I adore Little Boy's teacher and am glad to help out any way I can. Today's task is clerical and brainless and I'm happy to be sitting down.
3 pm. Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. Little Boy and I grab a snack and chat for a bit about his day. He was chosen to read a short passage about the Constitution at tomorrow's school assembly and he is completely stoked about it. Little Boy has been in speech therapy for articulation issues since he was four years old and has made enormous progress this past six months. The news that his teacher recommended him for a public speaking gig brings tears to my eyes.
4 pm. Little Boy hunkers down to do his homework and I
read blogs in the other room sit attentively beside him to supervise. Thank goodness there's no math. We practice spelling for tomorrow's test (piece of cake), memorize the fifty states in the order in which they became states (#18 and #19 are the –anas, Lousi and Indi), and correct a paragraph for capitalization and punctuation errors. *whew* I'm still smarter than my fifth grader, but only by a little.
4:30 pm. I vacuum the house (more or less, mostly less. But at least I got rid of the visible layer of dog hair on the carpet.) and start thinking about dinner. Strangely, staring into the pantry doesn't magically produce a brilliant meal plan, so I whip out an old stand-by: grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. Boring, I know, but at least it's not frozen pizza (again).
5:10 pm. Big Boy arrives home from school after cross-country practice, starving and hot. I haven't seen him since I kissed him goodnight last night, which is my very least favorite part of my early shift at work. We sit down to eat right away and I hear all (or at least some) about his day at school. Cross country practice is going really well, and he's super excited that he's able to keep up with the "fast kids." He doesn't appear to be nervous yet about this weekend's meet and I'm glad for that.
5:25 pm. With dinner scarfed down, it's time for Big Boy to get started on his homework. I clean up the kitchen a little and scamper to the computer to check email and Facebook like a teenage girl.
6:10 pm. In the car again, this time we're headed to Karate lessons. I'm a bad mom and drop them off at the door, while I sit in the car and return calls from my mom and my sister. I catch the last 15 minutes of class, though, so I can tell them how great they looked tonight and actually mean it.
7:30 pm. Home for the night. It's starting to get dark out and I'm fading fast. Big Boy finishes the last of his homework and picks out his outfit for tomorrow's "Nerd Day" – it's Spirit Week at his school. There is much laughter and silliness as he tries on a plaid shirt buttoned up to his neck, plaid shorts, knee socks, dress shoes and a pair of plastic glasses. Oh, my!
8 pm. Snacks are eaten, teeth are brushed and inspected, many kisses are given and finally Big Boy and Little Boy are off to bed for quiet reading time. It's 8:33 right now and if I go to bed when I finish typing this post, I'll get about seven hours of sleep before I have to get up and do it all again. Okay, not quite all of it – I only volunteer one day a week. Today was a really busy day, but it was still a good one.
How was your day??

Feb. 8, 2014
ATHENS, Georgia - An impromptu tournament mixed with chilly weather was the perfect recipe for the Lady Vols and senior Chessey Thomas to produce collegiate championships.
The Tennessee women's golf team entered Saturday's Lady Bulldog Individual with the goal of improving before its trip to Puerto Rico. The Lady Vols excelled in their tune-up match and took home both the tournament's team and individual championships.
"Today was an interesting day," Thomas said. "I got off to a slow start but found my groove after about nine holes or so."
After a solid second round performance, Thomas captured a share of the tournament's top individual honors.
"I was excited to get my first win and really pleased for Alex Harrell as we both shared our first championship," Thomas said.
Thomas spilt the medalist honors with Alex Harrell of Auburn. The victory was particularly important to Harrell as the Auburn women's golf team had recently lost one of its coaches in a tragic car accident.
"This win meant a lot to our team after losing Danielle [Downey] last week," Harrell said. "So I wanted to win this for our team. It was a great day."
Earlier this season, Thomas was runner-up at the Mercedes-Benz Championship. She recently added some new additions to her golf bag in hopes of improving her game.
"I put a lot of new equipment in my bag over winter break so it was great to see the difference and to be out there competing to see where my game was before heading into the Puerto Rico tournament," Thomas said. "I added new irons to my bag earlier this week and it was my first event with a short putter. I have used a belly putter since May of 2012."
The victory marked the first Lady Vol championship since Erica Popson won the FSU Match-Up in February of 2013.
Thomas was not the only Lady Vol to shake off the winter frost. In fact, all six Lady Volunteers recorded the best finish of their careers en route to the Lady Bulldog Team Championship.
"We had a good day today especially the second round of 18. I am always impressed when the second 18 is a lower score and we improved 12 shots," head coach Judi Pavon said. "It was a good way to start our spring and get some kinks worked out before we head to Puerto Rico next week."
The Pietila sisters picked up valuable experience in Athens, Ga. Emmie Pietila achieved her first career top ten finish after carding a 36-hole score of 151 (+7). Meanwhile, Hannah Pietila tied for 14th place after finishing with at 155 (+11).
Mason Chen joined Pietila in 14th place as she also carded 155 (+11), Daeun Song recorded a 158 (+14) on her way to finishing tied for 23rd, and freshman Teleri Hughes had a career best finish of 41st as she carded a 166 (+22).
In a last minute decision, the Lady Bulldog Individual decided to also have "mini-team tournament" between four schools (Chattanooga, Georgia, Samford, Tennessee). The Lady Vols captured the Lady Bulldog team crown after defeating the competition by seven strokes, including Southeastern conference foe Georgia. Tennessee finished the 36-hole day with a total score of 608 (+32).
The Lady Volunteers ship off to San Juan, Puerto Rico next week to compete in the Lady Puerto Rico Classic (Feb. 16-18).

"Card provides a colorful dramatization of ethical issues and questions of identity against a backdrop of bizarrely fascinating races." (Publishers Weekly)
"Exemplifies Card's talent for creating disturbingly compelling, beautifully written stories." (Library Journal)
"Entirely enjoyable"
First off, I am not a huge science fiction buff, but I like to read some scifi once in a while, just for a change of pace.
I loved Ender's Game when I read it years ago, but found that the sequels were a little slow and boring. I'm referring to Speaker for the Dead and Xenophobe.
"Treason" is the best Orson Scott Card scifi book I've read since Ender's Game. It is actually a story he wrote long ago, but is distinctly in Card's excellent storytelling style.
The book moves along well from the beginning, with fascinating places and characters, and has a thought-provoking theme. It was utterly enjoyable, an easy, yet intelligent, read (listen), and I didn't put it down until it was finished.
Oh yes, and the narration of Stefan Rudnicki is excellent as always.
"Better than Ender"
This is probably one of the best audio books I've listened to in the science fiction genre. I listened to Ender's Game & Shadow before this one and really enjoyed both of those two. But this book combines science (fiction), space/time, metaphysics, and a bunch of other concepts fairly neatly into one story. The story starts out a little slow for me but it may be that I'm less interested in genetics than in other areas covered in the book. It picks up nicely after that.
Definite 5 stars...
"Huge fan!!"
I am a huge fan of Orson Scott Card, and have passed this book to many of my friends, so I was excited to find it was released on audible.
Card is an amazing story teller and I love how they read like a movie and there is no unnecessary descriptions. He has an amazing imagination and I have read everything of his that I could get my hands on in the past 10 years.
This book in particular is one of my favorites because I enjoyed learning about each community and wondered what the next unique developed talent would be!
The reader, Stefan Rudnicki, sometimes annoys me because his voice is so deep that the resonance literally hurts my ears. He narrates most of Card's books, so I have had to just deal with it and I didn't think it was so bad in this book. In fact, I thought he did probably his best job with this book so far.
I couldn't figure out which cameo was Card because I have only listed to it once... Next time I will definitely listen closer to try to pick him out!! If anyone figures out which character he is, do tell!
Lastly, I just love Card's support of audio books and enjoy listening to his background on the books. I am always left wanting to know more about him and how he thinks. He is a true artist!! If I was more of a writer myself I would take one of his writing classes to uncover how he does it!!
Love this book and highly recommend it along with Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and Song Master.
"Wow - Just Wow"
Orson Scott Card is a phenomenal writer. This is a fast paced story that sweeps you off your feet and ends much too soon.
It's Lord of the Rings meets Asimov's Foundation and has quickly become one of my favorite Sci Fi books.
It's a tight story without any fat or dead end distractions just a great story. I could not put this one down.
Treason is the story of a prison planet populated by the descendants of exiled families who long ago attempted to overthrow Earth's tyrannical republic.
They were defeated and shipped to a distant planet called Treason, where they've spent the last few millennia evolving into warring kingdoms based on the professions, educations and family names.
Clans that regenerate their bodies, slow down or speed up time, changes sexes, mask identity, commune with the rocks, shape shift, the list goes on based on the learned educations of the different families, politicians, bankers, geneticists, investors, physicists, doctors, psychologists, theologians, socialites, engineers, philosophers, and professors etc...
It's intensely amusing and intriguing to read how each one of these highly evolved specialized skills matches to specific families and why - I think everyone reading this will get a smirk on their faces when reading how politicians have evolved. ;) This is just the beginning of the journey.
I could go on for hours talking about this book - In my opinion this beats out Enders Game and is Cards best work.
"Good story, great narrator."
Loved Ender... Treason, not so much. It is clearly a good solid story that just came off a bit flat for me. I found it a bit rambling and disjointed; it never just grabbed me. OSC has stated that, if he could have done a rewrite, the first person perspective is the first thing he would change. The story line is interesting and extremely creative but did not hold my interest as much as I was expecting. Stefan Rudnicki is one of my top five narrators and his strong narration was the saving grace for me. I'm still a big OSC fan and, based on other reviews, understand that my opinion of Treason does not run with the majority. Can't win 'em all.
"Not what expected - but quite good!"
I guess the picture of what looks like a space ship on the cover art - and a poor understanding taken from the plot summary - led me to think this was a more conventional science fiction story. There is nothing conventional about it - but then it IS Orson Scott Card after all. While I have never heard the Ender series everyone seems to think is so great, I have heard other Card novels and he is always original. You really have to suspend disbelief on this one, but the story, characters and narration all make that possible.
"Still my favorite book!"
I read this book, probably 20 years ago, and it was my favorite book. That's why I chose this book as my test-case for the audio book experience. It reminded me, again, why Treason was my favorite book. It explores many realms of the mind, and body through science fiction.
I thoroughly enjoyed Card's bravery in exploring so many diverse themes.
The reader, Stefan Rudnicki was particularly adept at assigning accents to key sub-characters and remaining true to them throughout the story. Fantastic.
I was particularly impressed with the discoveries towards the end of the book that were planted early on in the reading.
This is the first book I read of Orson Scott Card, and now the first audio book was fittingly this one. Card is a Science Fiction Genius. Thanks, Audible, for picking this one up in your library.
"Twists and Turns"
Very interesting story, with twist in turns in it that were unexpected. Find his writing style is just like someone telling a story. Enjoyed it a lot but I have been a big fan since the enders game trilogy.
This was a very original book but without well developed premiss. I love science fiction with some sort of logic or science background but I could not get interested in this book.
"Skip chapter 1 then hold on to your socks"
A great story after a bad first chapter. Twists and surprises all through the ride.

"Every developer working with the Web needs to read this book."-- David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of the Rails framework
"RESTful Web Services finally provides a practical roadmap for constructing services that embrace the Web, instead of trying to route around it."-- Adam Trachtenberg, PHP author and EBay Web Services Evangelist
You've built web sites that can be used by humans. But can you also build web sites that are usable by machines? That's where the future lies, and that's what RESTful Web Services shows you how to do. The World Wide Web is the most popular distributed application in history, and Web services and mashups have turned it into a powerful distributed computing platform. But today's web service technologies have lost sight of the simplicity that made the Web successful. They don't work like the Web, and they're missing out on its advantages.
This book puts the "Web" back into web services. It shows how you can connect to the programmable web with the technologies you already use every day. The key is REST, the architectural style that drives the Web. This book:

The animal on the cover of RESTful Web Services is a vulpine phalanger (P. vulpina). Phalanger is the general term given to animals of the Phalangeridae family, which includes possums and cuscuses. (One should not confuse the Australian possum with the American opossum; they are both marsupials, but very different.) The term phalanger is derived from the Greek word phalanges, which means finger or toe bone. The omnivorous phalanger uses its claw-fingered paws (with opposable thumbs) to climb, hunt, and live in trees. Phalangers are found in the forests of Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and some Indonesian islands. Like the most famous marsupial, the kangaroo, female phalangers carry their young around in a front pouch after birth. Phalanger is also the name of a PHP complier project for the .NET framework.

Ahead of Its Time
By D Lafferty
from Cambridge, UK
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator
The author spends much time conveying the message that REST is an architectural style, and thus there is really a spectrum to what is RESTful. The author differentiates his 'Resource Oriented Architecture' from other approaches to REST and distributed programming. His approach is not the only way, but by understanding it you are well grounded in both REST and a design approach that give you a well reasoned RESTful implementation.The book is ahead of its time given that Microsoft, a major backer of non-RESTful SOAP, has been forced to offer a RESTful development framework that suits this book. Moreover, REST has become the predominant web service design model.Other reviews point out that the examples are out of date, but this is not hugely important. As a Java/C#/C++ developer, I only looked for the code to back up the descriptions, and not to provide a tutorial on Ruby.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

One of my favorite architecture books
By Mike H
from Brooklyn, NY
RESTful web services is one of my favorite architecture books. It helped me learn, appreciate, and leverage the power behind http, and think about the basic components of an http request: URIs, headers, and content. Covering the tools then working through examples gives a great balance of informational and practical knowledge. It's well written, concise, and I enjoy referring back to it.

Great introduction to REST
By Sam Johnston
from Australia, Europe, USA
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
I found this book to be both an excellent introduction to RESTful Web Services and a useful reference later on. I'd say this would have to be the best O'Reilly book I've read (and possibly the only one I've read cover to cover - in a single sitting no less!). It was incredibly useful for my work on the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) and helped to identify and resolve one or two problem areas. Looking forward to seeing what's next from these authors.
Service and delivery comments:
I bought the print version of this book at a cloud computing expo and upgraded it a few months later to the electronic version. Very happy with both.

Eye-opener for REST
By Grzegorz Borkowski
from Undisclosed
For a long time I've heard much about REST, RESTful etc. It sounded interesting, but vague. I've read definitions of REST on wiki, then I also read many articles about this technology, but still I wasn't able to clearly see what it's all about and how to use it. They always talked about "representations", "connectivity", etc. but it all looked too much theoretical. Finally, I've found this book and read it from cover to cover. This was eye-opener for me. After reading this book, I finally understand what is REST, I know how to use it, I know all (or most) the gotchas and recipes, and I'm a big fan of REST. This technology is fantastic, and the book is really definitive guide to it. I recommend it to anybody who wants to start playing with REST.From my perspective, this book has only one disadvantage: all examples are in Ruby, and I'm Java programmer, so sometimes it looked a bit cryptic to me. But of course, you can understand the general meaning of the code even if you don't know Ruby - besides, everything is described in the text anyway.

Very educational
By in2clouds
This is a very interesting and very educational book. The subject is very relevant and the authors are very knowledgeable. I hesitated a bit before ordering b/c I have read a few negative reviews stating that the content was very redundant. I think there are some chapters that could be streamlined but I appreciated the author's thoroughness and methodical approach. It is true that the REST concepts are repeated throughout the book but I think that was by design. To show conceptual consistency across technologies and applications. I also think it was done to provide a step by step practitioner's approach to REST. I found this book to be a great one-stop resource for REST and before reading it I had struggled to find clear definitions and practical examples with code online. I recommend this book to beginners and intermediate REST readers. Experienced people might not find enough "juice".

One of the most pertinent books for WOA
By Arun Batchu
At the time of writing, this is one of the best books that makes Roy Fielding's ReST philosophy more accessible to the pragmatists - the builders on the ground. As a Systems' architect who has to deliver business applications on a daily basis, I struggled to make sense of what exactly is ReSTful-ness...like any nascent, emergent, powerful and useful thing, ReST meant a lot of things to a lot of people. The literature on the web touched upon different manifestations but lacked the power to communicate a holistic view. Thank goodness I landed on this EXCELLENT book that described the vision and took me through a journey of the ReSTfulness spectrum - not all supposedly ReSTful services are ReSTful. I understood the power of the human Web and now I realized how the same architecture and design will work for the data/document web; The comparing and constrasting of the ReSTfulness of flickr, del.icio.us, amazon's s3 API's was illuminating. The explanation of HTTP - how it works and how it is supposed to work and how the power could be leveraged opened up new windows and doors. Fielding's work made more sense now. The foundational principles were getting clearer and clearer. It became ( and still is) a reference book. Its a book I carry everywhere. I "steal" time to re-read some of what is being said whenever I get time. Yes, there are a few things that could be improved. But who cares? When you find water in a desert, do you stop to whine about a few sand particles? This book's strengths outnumber the weaknesses many times over. Because of this book, I feel that I can inspire my team to build a scale-free application that unifies the enterprise just like the larger web did. At last I have found the unifying vision that will save me from re-inventing plumbing. I can now move on to focus on the business architecture. No more plumbing - the customer is waiting! To the other ignorant reviewers who did/do not get this seminal work, please delay publishing your ignorance for a few more years...and save yourself the ignominy of having commented on something you have little understanding of.

worst O'Reilly book ever seen
By Anonymous
I tried to read this book but my experience was frustrating. Very often I feel annoyed by the author's blahing. No doubt there are shining points in this book, but they are buried in overwhelming nonsenses. This book doesn't worth reading, it's wast e of time. Just find some short articles, and enjoy the true technology.

Eye-opening experience
By Daniel Williams
This is the kind of book that I love O'Reily for. Richardson and Ruby have taken what can be and too often is treated as an arcane subject, and pulled out the core concepts. The book should be read in the abstract. I have never coded with Ruby or Rails, but that is not the point. The authors distill just what is HTTP and how it works, and lay out, using the basic built-in functionality of http, how you can create intelligent and useful web services and clients. And what do you know - coding with the http protocol in mind naturally results in your writing ReSTful applications. This is what sticks in my head about this book, just that simple concept.This book really takes you to the core of how the web works - sending http requests and getting http responses. That is it, nothing more. Now many frameworks exist to add functionality to this basic request/response pattern. But until you understand the core concepts, you will never really know how to code for the web. And advanced frameworks often make matters worse by hiding what is really going on so much that developers can spend days learning the framework and missing what is fundamentally going on.In my opinion, ReSTful web services is a nice application of core http, a good way to illustrate how the web works, and how to work with the web, instead of against it. A book solely dedicated to http would likely get bogged down in unused standards and technical detail.But this book really nails down what programming on the web means, and how to write well-behaved applications. While I may never code in Ruby, or make a web client to interface with flickr, what I learned in this book will serve as a foundation for all of my future web work. And I am deeply grateful for that.

Needs updating to Rails 2.0
I started this book with much anticipation. It starts out very well with small working examples for accessing non-RESTful websites. As soon as it got into RESTful designs with Ruby, things fell apart. All the examples are for Rails 1.2. The current version is 2.0 and it is significantly different in this area. I have now spent several days trying to educate myself on the difference so I could fix the examples.In addition there are a couple laborious chapters where the author takes you through the design philosophy of a RESTful design. Although this was good, the chapters could have been made shorter.Please post updated examples!

text: Vaitsekhovskaya talks to Moskvina after the first official practice for sport-express.ru EV: Such an unexpected results as what your students showed in the Europeans in Zagreb becoming only fifth demand some processing. How long did it take and how hard was it to motivate them again? TM: Normally I come to the practice with a list of suggestions, but before voicing them I ask the guys whether they can tell the reason. It allows the analysis to go faster thus getting us closer to the solution. After Zagreb we did just that, decided on the working plan and made some changes. EV: What were the changes? TM: The warm up: it's length, order of the elements. This is what we were working on mainly. EV: Can you yourself explain why Kawaguti/Smirnov failed at the Europeans? TM: As far as I can see their problem is lack of control during the competition .It's explainable - Yuko and Sasha felt they can place high. Such a feeling always gives you more energy, makes you go faster. And in real life it means that at the important moment they rush too much into the emotions and loose the synchronization with each other. EV: Was your idea to come to London right before the competition an attempt to save their nerves? TM: It's not that. Kawaguti/Smirnov have no need coming earlier. They usually don't have jet lags, their sleep and mood is fine. Hence there was no point coming earlier to a foreign country, live in a hotel especially since all the practices were planned and didn't take too much time. I.e. most of the time the athletes would be just sitting in their rooms and thinking and rethinking the competition. What for? Hence we always try coming at the last minute - it was the same in Grand Prix and the GPF when it took place in Quebeck. If they had to skate in the highs - that would be a different matter. EV: Adjusting to the rink size was not a problem either? TM: We did it in St. Petersburg. We would collect all the blade guards and mark the needed size. I've never considered that a problem. EV: During your work with Kawaguti/Smirnov you tried several times to create a sparring pair, but till this moment there is no 2nd pair of such a level in your group. Does the lack of such make the work harder? TM: No. First of all Yuko and Sasha never needed artificial motivation. They are completely professional and independent. Sparring is mainly needed in order to see some other faces on the ice on the daily basis. To keep a certain level of emotion. After all when you are among the same people all the time it's tiring. In our case there are junior pairs that skate all the time, Gerbold/Enbert, who despite not making it to the team keep practicing very seriously. Before the worlds we were often visited by Petr Tchernyshev who choreographed both their programmes and our group choreographer Alexanrd Matveev, so it was far from boring. EV: Was their failure in the Europeans a blow for you? TM: A blow is a different thing. As for the competition - there is a reason there are places from the first to the last. Someone has to take them. Of course everyone wants to lpace higher, but you have to agree the work on such a level means a high risk of loosing. I taught myself a long time ago not to dwell into things. In case of a failure i try to understand where exactly did we go wrong. EV: It's hard to believe that attitude can always be applied. TM: It depends on how you set yourself up. In order to command the practicing process successfully I have to be mentally fine. If I start whining it will not end well. For anyone. After all everyone goes through some hardships. EV: The coach's work teaches patience, or does it just sucks out from you everything you have? TM: I think an understanding what and how you do is needed here as well. Everyone wants to get high and fast. But it just doesn't work. Besides, being a coach I have influence on people's lives. Sometimes those people are so different, with different abilities, goals and motivation. To teach the right technique doesn't mean to reach the goal. So it's not a question of patience, but about finding the shortest route to the success while remaining healthy, positive and remaining needed for my family and interesting for the others. EV: During the official practice of the main competition what do you pay attention to? TM: Everything. The crowd's reaction, the judges', the skaters' mood, how the others are skating. I haven't seen everyone this season, so it's interesting to see. I saw how well ready Volosozhar/Trankov: they were very confident and made no mistakes. I haven't seen the Canadians who won the 4CC yet (Duhamel/Radford), but I read impressions of their skating. So everyone works hard, have complicated programmes and everyone wants to win. EV: Is it true you are going to quit after the Sochi Olympics? TM: It's a bit premature talking about that.
