Emery Battis, a veteran stage actor whose career spanned more than 70 years and who worked frequently at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven during its first decades, died Sept. 20 at an assisted-living facility in Marlboro, Mass. He was 96 and died of complications from bladder cancer.
Battis appeared at Long Wharf from 1970 to 1982, appearing in almost 50 plays.
In later years Battis was a regular at the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C., playing in 70 productions there. He received a Helen Hayes Award for his lifetime contributions to Washington theater in 2002.
For much of his life he was a professor of history in New Jersey but gave up the profession when he was in his 50s to devote his life full time to acting. He performed in theaters such as The Guthrie in Minneapolis and Baltimore's CenterStage.
Battis, who began acting in 1933, played roles in works by William Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw and other master playwrights. He played more than 90 characters in Shakespearean plays.
According to the Washington Post, Battis gave his final performance as Marcade in a 2006 production of "Love's Labour's Lost" in the Bard's home town of Stratford-upon-Avon in England.
Born in Arlington, Mass. he graduated froim Harvard in 1942. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Forces. After the war, Battis acted and worked as a stage manager for directors George Abbott and Margaret Webster before going to graduate school at Columbia University, receiving master's and doctoral degrees in history in 1948 and 1958.
He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Elizabeth Neuman of Marlboro; five children from his first marriage, Christopher Battis of Reno, Nev., Michael Battis of Kent, Wash., Peter Battis of Chapel Hill, N.C., Robert Battis of Sardis, B.C., and Wendy Battis of San Francisco; three stepchildren, Melanie Neuman of Sudbury, Mass., Peter Neuman of Minneapolis and Audrey Neuman of Hartford, Conn.; a sister; 12 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren

Logitech's new F540 wireless headset gives console gamers the personal audio options long enjoyed by PC Gamers -- and it is about time!
I just got my G930's (PC version of this) and they're quite awesome.
It's awesome being able to roam my house while still being able to listen to my PC music and Ventrilo, etc.
Mic quality could be better though.
This really works on the Xbox 360? That's a first for Logitech, considering they have a partnership with Sony.

CHESTER, Pa. – The No. 14 Salisbury University football team's season came to an end with a 28-7 loss to ninth-ranked Widener University at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium on Saturday.
Senior slot Ross Flanigan finished with a game-high 70 yards rushing yards on 10 carries, while wide receiver classmate Juma Richards caught a career-high five passes for 98 yards to lead the Salisbury (9-3) offense, which was bottled up by Widener (11-0). With the win, the Pride move onto the NCAA quarterfinals to play No. 1, the University of Mount Union, a 55-13 winner over No. 15 Johns Hopkins University.
Widener outgained Salisbury in total offensive yards, 445-230, and forced three turnovers to advance.
Salisbury took the opening kickoff to the Pride 23-yard line in 11 plays and five-and-a-half minutes, but Lonnie Liggins was one yard short of a first down on a forth-and-4 rush, turning the ball over on downs.
Widener drove to the Salisbury 39 but was stopped, when sophomore linebacker Steven Gamble sacked Chris Haupt for a six-yard loss at the 45-yard line.
On the next Widener drive, junior safety Greg Stanton picked off Haupt for his seventh interception of the season and ninth of his career, setting the Gulls up with good field position at the Pride 44. Flanigan took a pitch 15 yards to the 29 for a first down, but the drive stalled as Dan Griffin completed a pass on fourth and 6 to Michael Copenhaver a yard shy of the marker.
Salisbury had another chance to open the scoring on its next possession by Jamal Dorsey blocked a 32-yard field goal attempt by Eric Hart.
Widener got on the board following a Salisbury fumble at the Pride 47-yard line. Haupt found Anthony Davis for 12 yards for a first down. A personal foul put the ball on the Salisbury 26 and, two plays later, Davis took a reverse to the end zone for a touchdown 5:31 before the break.
SU fumbled again on its next possession and Stacey Sunnerville recovered, setting the pride up on the SU 14-yard line. Four plays later, Terrant Morrison extended the lead to 14-0 with a 1-yard plunge with 3:58 left in the half.
The Pride got the ball back, after a Kyle Hamby punt from his own end zone with 1:31 remaining, and marched to the Salisbury 8. Senior cornerback Paul Moore blocked James McFadden's 25-yard field-goal attempt at the gun, keeping it a two-score game.
The third quarter was scoreless, but Haupt found Davis on an 82-yard touchdown pass to make it a 21-0 game 3:52 into the fourth.
The Pride wore the clock down until the 1:52 mark, when Haupt found Connor Schlegel on a 64-yard bomb for a 28-0 lead.
The Sea Gulls responded with a quick strike to breakup the shutout bid. Griffin hit Richards for 35 yards, before he stepped out at the 2-yard line. Griffin followed with a short rushing TD to cut into the advantage.
SU recovered the ensuing onside kick, but was unable to get closer.
Haupt was 23-for-35 passing with 347 yards and one pick, while Davis caught 11 passes for 201 yards and a score; he also ran twice for 32 yards and a score.
Griffin threw for 109 and one interception on 8-of-14 passing; he added a TD on 25 carries.
Hamby punted seven times, averaging 45.3 yards. He boomed a school-record 84-yarder in the third quarter.
Defensively, Gamble finished with a team-high 12 tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack. Senior safety Chris Everett made eight stops to move into 10th all-time in Salisbury history with 239 career tackles. Stanton also made eight tackles. His interception put him into a tie for ninth all-time in career picks for the Gulls.
Sunnerville made a game-high 15 tackles, four for loss and three sacks for Widener.
The loss marks the final game for 17 seniors who combined for a 32-11 (.744) four-year record with three NCAA tournament appearances and two Empire 8 Athletic Comference championships.

You probably noticed Lemond wearing the world champion jersey in that commercial, which makes sense. He was the world champion, and Taco Bell probably didn't want to pay Lemond's team for the rights to have him wear his team kit. If you go to Williamsburg these days, however, you'll see that pretty much every single person on a fixed gear bike is the world champion too, because they ALL wear something with the stripes.
A clearly understood rule of cycling is that you simply do not wear a yellow jersey (or the green or polka dot jersey) unless you earned THE jersey. I guess if a guy who won the Tour gives you a jersey after you make him dinner or something, you've technically earned the jersey...but that still doesn't count I think. I'm talking to you Mr Williams.
As I've stated before, wearing a yellow jersey as you ride around the block at 15mph is a bit like wearing a fake gold medal from the olympics as you jog in your local trail. For the sake of effect, I'll go one further...I believe it's like wearing a Purple Heart medal while you play paintball. While none of these offenses are punishable by law, they certainly should be.
I don't know why I feel this way. I don't think it's due to the blind reverence that many have towards all professional cyclists. I mean, things have gotten so out of whack these days that the word "pro" is spelled in ALL CAPS by multiple blogs, and at least one online retailer. Even if this is done half-jokingly, and as homage to a now defunct blog it strikes me as insane. "God" only gets one capital letter, so can we just stop sucking their balls for one split second?
The idea of being "PRO", it seems, is about almost going overboard, but knowing when to stop. It's a fine balance. It's this fine line that separates those in the know, from those who are decidedly out. It's also a fine balance between your abilities and your gear/attire choices. Funny though, considering that if you are not a professional, but you are trying to look "PRO" in any way, you are (by definition) a poser. No?
I know about "posers" because I spent years of my life steeped in metal and punk rock culture, where there was constant paranoia about posers, and about being "true" Believe me, I know.
But let's get back to the jerseys. As I see it, those jerseys (the ones that riders win) as symbols of something that someone worked very hard for. I don't think that anyone else wearing them necessarily diminishes their value, but it just seems a little tacky. I know that in other sports, the iconography of its winners is is not usually held in such high esteem. In the NHL for example, anyone and everyone seems to make replicas of the Stanley Cup.
Watch out though, because even though it's okay to make a fake Cup, and hold it over your head...if you ever get your hands on the real Cup, you are simply NOT allowed to hold it over your head unless you've won. Seriously, people have gotten screamed at and nearly tackled for doing this. At the end of the day, we can all wear whatever we want. I hate cycling's implied rules, and its obsession with the past (though I'm partially guilty of it)...but at the same time I find it all very interesting. The obsession with the past is almost unique to cycling, which is odd considering most American cycling fans only started to watch the sport in their later years. Is this the reason that many don't see how important a yellow jersey is? Perhaps they don't care all that much, and that's fine too. Everyone is allowed to enjoy anything (be it cycling or something else) in their own way. But still, there are millions of other jerseys to wear, so just buy one of those other ones instead. On top of being a conceptually tacky thing to wear, a polka dotted shirt really is tacky and visually offense as well. How do you not realize the fact that you look like a godamned horse jockey on a bike while wearing it?
You'll never hear me say this again...but this jersey is a fine choice for anyone to buy. I mean, if the other choice that you're considering is a polka dotted one...please, buy this one instead. I beg of you.
Yellow and Pink
I completely hate that I'm bringing up this whole topic actually, because I think all the stupid rules and regulations that road cycling fashion has are incredibly insipid. Whenever people start to talk about their white shoes, white socks vs tall black socks, or if wearing gloves is or is not "PRO" ...I just quietly go to the corner of the room and jam a pencil in my ear. That may sound like an extreme measure to take, but believe me when I tell you that it's easier to take than having to listen to a doughy guy who is dressed like Jimmy Buffet talk about cycling fashion. I mean, seriously, have you seen how many of these people dress off the bike? Jesus Christ, how about saving the money you spent on the new white shoes, and buying a decent pair of jeans that aren't pleated at the front?
But back to my original point, how come so many agree with me about how tacky it is to wear the yellow or polka dotted jersey...and yet so few seem to mind the overuse of the World Champion stripes? Today's hipsters in particular are huge offenders in this area. Similarly, the Maglia Rosa is seldom seen in the same light by most cyclists. Want proof? Rapha (keepers and soothsayers of style according to all) have gone as far as making a commemorative pink jersey in honor of Andy Hampsten, and the Gavia Pass. The jersey even went as far as coming with a replica of Hampsten's number and safety pins.
Now I must ask, would Rapha ever make a yellow jersey? Surely Hampsten's persona (and the Gavia Pass story) plays into this. Compared to Lemond and Armstrong, he's not a polarizing figure, and is generally well liked. But how about a yellow replica jersey for Roche? They would never do it. So a company so grounded in aesthetics, as well as the general do's and don'ts of cycling, making a pink jersey struck me as funny.
Is the Giro cooler because fewer people (in England and the US) watch it? If Armstrong is at the Tour, the secretary at your office knows about it, and annoyingly asks you questions about the race. When the Giro is happening, no one at your work will even know about it. The Giro is yours, and no one else's. Like the kid who throws a tantrum, and decides to take his ball home so no one else can play, the Giro is all yours. Does this merely get back to the attitude I experienced as a youngster, whereby everyone took pride in knowing about more obscure and extreme punk and metal bands? Is knowing or caring about the Tour like knowing about Metallica (or even Winger), but the Giro is more like Slayer? By that measure, what is Roubaix? Early Napalm Death? Are small races in Belgium like listening to underground Black Metal (circa 1994)? I better stop making comparisons, because it could all get a little nutty.
Rapha uses the color pink as its primary corporate color, and they made the Hampsten jersey. They are supposed to be very cool. They have managed to leverage design, branding and marketing to make their products very desirable. This is no small feat. Good for them. If you've seen their photography, you know they are supposed to be really cool. Miles Davis cool. But not the late era Miles Davis, the one that makes you cringe and dry-heave. I'm talking about the young Miles. Smooth. The Giro is cool because fewer people watch it. The guys who win the Giro are often cyclists that your secretary at work has never heard of. I mean, if your secretary knows who Paolo Savoldelli or Ivan Gotti are, let me know.
Livestrong uses yellow as its primary corporate color. Livestrong (the foundation, and the company that sells stationary bikes) is not very cool within the closed-off world of cycling. Freds may think it's cool, but you know better, because you yourself are cool. Yes, I'm being partially facetious here, but you get my point. I mean, you may think that Livestrong and Armstrong are doing something good in regards to cancer, but they are not cool like the Giro is cool. Live strong = the Tour. Livestrong = Lance, the guy that everyone at your job knows about. Everyone says they want cycling to spread and become more well known. We want more respect from drivers as we ride our bikes, and want to be understood..but the moment someone like Lance Armstrong makes cycling more well known in the States, he gets shit on for it. Yes, some people dislike Lance for many other reasons...but I sometimes feel that his biggest crime is being too popular. Being so well known is not cool. Certainly not Rapha cool. Exclusivity (or at least the perception of it), reigns supreme.
It all gets back to cyclists wanting to be part of a secret society, like the godamned Masons. Like the Masons, cyclists seem to want secret symbols, and would like their favorite sport to remain virtually unknown...while at the same time crying that there's not enough cycling coverage on TV. More people should ride bikes, but god forbid that a guy with a triple crank or 105 shifters gets close to you. Cyclists complain about the lack of safety on the roads, but still want to be seen like oddballs, and enjoy being "weird" because they shave their legs. You can't have it both ways...I'm sorry. If cycling DID become more popular, and accepted (let's just pretend) would some cyclists loose interest? Is the relative oddball nature of cycling its appeal to some? If cycling became as popular as the NFL, and your pick-up truck driving neighbor gave up his Packers sweatshirt and traded it in for some Rapha gear...and he even got himself a Colnago...how would you feel? Less special? Would your secret club feel less secret? I for one, would be thrilled.
Maybe I'm wrong about this last part, perhaps I'm wrong about all of this...but I still thought it was worth bringing up.

Saving Sight & Lives with Vitamin A
The Challenge
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 250 million pre-school children are vitamin A deficient. This silent syndrome compromises immune system function, leaving young children unable to fight common childhood infections such as measles or diarrhea. Vitamin A deficiency is also the leading cause of preventable childhood blindness in developing countries, with up to 500,000 children going blind because of it each year. In addition, half of these children will die within a year of losing their sight.
Our Solution
We partner with governments, the private sector and other charities throughout Africa and Asia to ensure that health systems include vitamin A supplementation—a cost-effective and life-saving intervention for children six months to five years old—as part of regular wellness practices for impoverished communities. Each year, we reach tens of millions of African children under five with vitamin A capsules.
Vitamin A is an essential nutrient needed for vision, growth, development, and a healthy immune system.
For more than 40 years, Helen Keller International has been a leader in designing, implementing, and monitoring programs that ensure annual delivery of vitamin A to vulnerable populations worldwide. In addition to vitamin A supplementation, we use a multi-program strategy that includes the promotion of breastfeeding, maternal and child nutrition education, fortification of staple foods, and globally recognized family-led agricultural programs designed to improve access to vitamin A-rich foods and make them part of daily diets.

Justin Bieber's 'Baby' Saves Man From Bear Attackby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Justin Bieber's 'Baby' has once again saved someone's life.
According to the Australian Times, Igor Vorozhbitsyn was fishing in Russia when a brown bear came out of nowhere and started to attack him — that is, until the fisherman's ringtone (Bieber's 'Baby,' of course) went off and scared the bear away.
So, was the bear just not a Belieber, or…?
"Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its tracks and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear," a wildlife expert explained to the newspaper.
Vorozhbitsyn, 42, suffered serious injuries to his face and chest after the bear pounced on his back and began to claw at him. Fortunately, he was rescued by fellow fisherman after using his phone to call for help and is currently recuperating from his injuries.
And as for why the Russian fisherman had the Biebs as his ringtone? Well, he can thank his granddaughter for that.
"I know that sort of ringtone isn't to everyone's taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke," he explained.
Of course, this is not the first time that Justin Bieber's 'Baby' has saved someone's life. Just two months ago, a grateful mother told how the song soothed her ill son enough to eat and help gain nutrients while suffering from a serious and mysterious illness.

Market Insights: Flagship condo prices plunge nearly 20 percent in Breckenridge
I am recognized for being brutally honest.Real estate prices throughout Summit County have been stable (more or less) throughout 2012, which has made the real estate community very happy. Buyers, sellers and Realtors have been pleased with this stability. However, on Dec. 17, we were all blindsided when our 300-pound gorilla, Vail Resorts, dropped prices from 16.72 to 18.68 percent on condos at One Ski Hill Place.These price drops are a major shift for Vail Resorts in Summit County. Up until 11 days ago, our largest developer had led us to believe, based on its past actions, that it would not drop prices in its flagship complex at the base of Peak 8 in Breckenridge. And based on information provided to Realtors, the new pricing has had the desired effect, with two condominiums going under contract quickly after the announcement (a one-bed, two-bath at $725,000 and a two-bed, two-bath at $1,315,000).
How this impacts the marketplace depends on your perspective. Let's take a look:Owners – those who already bought in the complex can't be too happy as these price drops undoubtedly impact the resale value of their properties.Sellers – those trying to sell property that directly competes with One Ski Hill Place, for example in Crystal Peak Lodge at the base of Peak 7, can expect this to directly affect their property values.Buyers before Dec. 17 – imagine how you would feel if you had just purchased a property in another complex built by Vail Resorts, such as Mountain Thunder Lodge & Townhomes. You would probably not be very pleased.Current buyers – everybody smiles when they get a deal.Our 300 pound gorilla – two sales within a week, I am guessing makes them happy.The marketplace – over the years I have learned the real estate marketplace in Summit County does not like instability. After a year of stable prices, these price drops, so late in 2012, has people wondering what will happen in 2013.
Property selling is great news. If the strategy works for Vail Resorts, and they sell all of the remaining units they own in One Ski Hill Place, that is extremely positive for the Summit County marketplace overall. Of course, this really is great for buyers who want to be in a prime location in Breckenridge.Make it a great New Year's Eve.

Nairobi, Kenya, 27 July 2011 – Aga Khan University's Graduate School of Media and Communications in Nairobi was launched at a foundation stone ceremony held today in the presence of the Right Honourable Raila Odinga, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya, and His Highness the Aga Khan, Chancellor of the Aga Khan University and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network.
The School, which will begin accepting students in 2014, is dedicated to educating media leaders – and fostering media institutions – who will advance the highest standards of competence, ethics, professionalism and social responsibility in their industry. Its broader aim is to ensure a vibrant, independent and plural media sector in the region.
"The years immediately ahead will be a time of breath-taking change for Africa, and for the field of media," said His Highness the Aga Khan in his speech marking the occasion. "I believe that Africa can emerge from this transformation as the home of some of the most capable, innovative, constructive and respected media enterprises in the world. Helping to advance that vision is what our new Media and Communications School is all about."
Placing emphasis on new technologies, the Graduate School will employ state-of-the-art equipment and innovative ways of teaching, so that its graduates will be comfortable with the media platforms today and can "help develop the media platforms of tomorrow."
The new school will also seek to cultivate an indigenous journalistic voice that is not beholden to Western perspectives, but that reflects local realities. Students will learn not only to value these realities, but be able to project these perspectives globally.
"One of the inheritances of the African colonial period was an absence of indigenous, independent media enterprises – and, thus, of effective media entrepreneurs," noted the Aga Khan. "A half century later, healthy, African media companies are no longer such a rarity, but they are still in short supply."
The Aga Khan said that the school will therefore not restrict itself to producing writers, editors and artists – the creators of content – but will also reach into the field of media management. It will prepare students to be able to address the economic dimension of media ventures sustainably and responsibly.
Drawing on other faculties of the Aga Khan University, the new Graduate School will enable students to deepen their knowledge in other fields of study, including health, economics, political science, religion and environmental studies. The school will also provide opportunities for professional and continuing education, adapting to the changing needs of those in the media industry.
The establishment of the Graduate School of Media and Communications was first announced by His Highness the Aga Khan during the Pan African Media Conference in March 2010.

CEO Speeding, Luxury Spending Could Be Early Warning of Fraud
Boards considering a new chief executive hire don't usually put much weight on the fact the candidate might have gotten a speeding ticket at some point but maybe they should.
Research shows CEO recruits who have had even one minor legal infraction, such as a speeding ticket, are seven times more likely to engineer an accounting fraud than CEOs with completely clean records, according to the study's lead author, Robert Davidson, a professor in Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business.
What's more, Prof. Davidson said CEOs with a taste for the high life, as measured by ownership of a yacht, a high-end car, or a a costly home, are 10 times more likely to preside over firms where other executives engineer frauds.
These findings fly in the case of conventional recruitment wisdom. Richard McCallister, managing partner of Boyden Global Executive Search's Chicago office, said that although a CEO with a thick deck of traffic citations or other legal infractions might raise yellow warning flags, a single ticket wouldn't: "Usually it's immaterial." The same is true of a candidate with one or a few luxurious possessions. "Having an expensive car or an expensive house kind of goes with the package of a successful person," said Mr. McCallister, who explained as long as legal infractions or luxury goods aren't "excessive," they don't raise eyebrows.
The study finds even a single infraction or indulgence can matter. Titled "Executives' Off-the-Job Behavior, Corporate Culture, and Financial Reporting Risk," the study compared firms involved in fraud during the period 1992-2006 with firms matched for size, CEO age and other factors. The size of the sample was small, only 109 firms involved in fraud and 109 not. Professor Davidson said it included "every case of fraud from an S&P 1500 firm" during the period.
"In our fraud sample 21% of CEOs had broken the law, and in the non fraud sample it's 5%," Prof. Davidson explained. Some of the CEOs in the fraud sample had done more than get speeding tickets. Driving under the influence, domestic violence, drug charges, a bar fight, and reckless behavior also cropped up among the firms involved in fraud. "With regards to more serious crimes, there was not a single CEO in the no-fraud sample who had committed a crime other than a traffic violation. We had 12 in the fraud sample," Prof. Davidson said.
He explained the research looked at frugality of CEOs, defining non-frugal CEOs as those who owned a boat longer than 25 feet, a home worth more than double the price of real estate in the area, or a car worth more than $75,000.
CEOs who are unfrugal by these standards, he said, "change the composition of the firm's board, change the compensation structure of the board, and also have different hiring practices for the senior executive team." Such CEOs are likelier to pick board members with whom they have social or professional connections, likelier to reduce the incentive proportion of the board's own compensation, and also to hire similarly-unfrugal CFOs. Subsequently, "they were running firms where somebody in the firm was more likely to commit fraud."
The byword in CEO recruitment has been "don't sweat the small stuff." But the lesson of this research is "there's information in the small stuff, it matters," Prof. Davidson said.
Davidson said the study has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Financial Economics. Link to the study here.

Men?s Cross Country Runner of the Week ? No. 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Greg Montgomery of College of Idaho has been named the NAIA National Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Montgomery was selected based on his performance from Sept. 17 - 23 and was chosen out of a pool of conference/independent runner of the week selections.
Montgomery, a senior from Boise, Idaho, posted his second-straight individual championship of the season - sixth career victory - with a first-place finish out of 163 runners at the Erik Anderson Cross Country Invitational in Spokane, Wash., on Sept. 22. The event was also considered part of the Red Lion Cascade Collegiate Conference/Frontier Conference Challenge, which matches teams from the NAIA's two northwest conferences in six different sports including cross country. Montgomery covered the 8K course in 24:17.61 to tie the Coyotes' program record. As a team, College of Idaho finished second of 15.
Montgomery's previous victory this season came at the Roger Curran Memorial Invitational on Sept. 8.
Montgomery and teammate Hillary Holt, who won the NAIA National Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week award, are the second College of Idaho teammates to sweep the weekly awards. The first were Austin Basterrechea and Travis Sharp, who accomplished the feat in the first NAIA men's outdoor track and field weekly award in 2011.

MKR recap: Elimination Round One serves up some 'mediocre' entrees before a French twist
It's finally here!
The first elimination episode of the season. The night so many My Kitchen Rules fans have been waiting for, wishing and hoping upon hope that the Wicked Witches of the West might get doused in water and melt away.
Or at least suffer a complete balls-up with whatever exotic cuisine they're cooking - picked up from one of the 7.5 billion countries they've visited - and be eliminated from the competition.
With Emelia and Andrew sitting at the bottom of the ladder, the girls just need to beat them to stay in the competition, but are holding onto the modest faith that they'll beat twins Helena and Vikki, who achieved the highest-ever score in MKR.
With so many cuisines in their repertoire, of course it's hard to know what they'll cook for the 'last supper'. The only thing we know is that it definitely won't be cheese, as Chloe made it clear she didn't care for it during cheese farmers Annie and Jason's three-course cheese meal.
So naturally, they start with a trio of cheeses.
We know things are about to go deliciously wrong when we switch to Jason saying he can't stand people disrespecting cheese - back in the kitchen the girls are disrespecting the hell out of one sloppy ricotta fritter at a time.
In an effort to save the mozzarella part of the trio, they slide a slice of store-bought bread underneath - obviously they've forgotten Kerry and Craig's Great Curry Paste Controversy of last season. We all know where this is going.
Pete calls all three dishes "mediocre", especially because they used store-bought bread, and sensing blood, the other contestants agree.
At least, Kelly later says, it wasn't on the same level on which all cooking badness is measured - "it wasn't Andrew and Emelia bad".
But no time for more bitching, it's on to the main.
In a clever attempt to appeal to both the common man and Manu's Frenchness at the same time, they cook 'peasants paella with rabbit and snail'.
While Chloe and Kelly chat about being the most technically-skilled chefs in the competition, having already forgotten that everyone hated their entree, Manu shows everyone just how French he is by handing out clever pieces of advice for eating snails, like: "If they come in the shell, don't eat the shell."
Meanwhile, clearly oblivious to the fact that behaving in a highly-irritating manner is not the way to put a city 'on the map', Emelia says she hopes the girls fail tonight, because she wants to put Canberra on the map. Andrew confirms his likewise obliviousness by giving Emelia a 'finger five'.
Back to the kitchen, where there's DISASTER! The rabbits are undercooked. This means they'll have to go back in the oven and they only have plenty of time left.
Some time later they pull them out and discover that putting food back in the oven does indeed cook it more. Phew.
Predictably, the Frenchman is over the moon with their snail-addled main dish and even more pleased that no one ate a shell, and makes that nasal French 'oh-ho-ho' noise to prove it, and Kelly squeals in delight.
Also predictably, most of the other contestants turn their Aussie noses up at the snails.
Dessert time. Or should we say Millefeuille with passion fruit custard and lime and tequila curd time.
By this stage, everyone at home is wearing a wry grin because they know the girls are also using store-bought pastry and that is really going to screw them.
Deb says: "Of course you make your own pastry, it's a cooking competition." But it's possible she's just jealous that Kelly didn't have to give Manu an alluring portrait of herself to get his attention.
Dessert is served and Jason says it "looks amazing", while Emelia looks away from her map of Australia just long enough to say it looks "disgusting".
The girls know their chances of making it out alive are fading when Manu says "it's not good enough for me" and Pete calls it "inedible".
Annie and Jason and the surfer dads both score the night a 5/10, Deb and Rick score them 3/10, as do Andrew and Emelia, and Helena and Vikki score them 2/10.
In a surprising twist, the judges give the girls just enough points and the most controversial team remains in the competition.
One of the producers obviously tipped Emelia off to the fact contestants don't die when they get eliminated, because she says "this is definitely not the end for us" and receives a finger-high-five from Andrew, but seems sad with the knowledge that now Canberra will never be considered a real city.
The judges tell Chloe and Kelly "Congratulations, you'll live to fight another day", and all of Australia, heartbroken, is sure they will.

At first glance, it's easy to dismiss this memo board alarm clock as being just another piece of technocrappery from Brando. But how often do you wake in the middle of the night with a brilliant idea you don't want to forget?
When you're half asleep, the last thing you want to do is fumble with your smartphone or battle its keyboard's autocorrect. You need an easier way to denote your inspiration, brilliant invention or snappy comeback — and what could be simpler than a bedside memo board? It's just $US19 and not only does it glow, making it impossible to miss what you've written when you're finally awake, but Brando has also crammed a four-port USB hub in there as well.
That's like having your cake, and eating it, and having a place to plug in your smartphone. Brilliant.

CISPA rebirth: Concerns remain
The controversial CISPA cybersecurity bill is back — and so is the battle as to whether it's perilous for Americans' civil liberties.
The authors of the so-called Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act revived their measure this week with the insistence that it won't result in a Web user's private data landing in the hands of the feds. But there's still a sense among some lawmakers and consumer groups that the bill lacks strong, proper legal checks.
Story Continued Below
"The text is largely the same as last year, and the concerns haven't gone away," said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who spoke with POLITICO after a hearing on the bill Thursday.
"The need to act certainly has intensified," Schiff added, though he said nothing so far indicated to him "the challenges are insurmountable."
CISPA emerged in 2012 as the House's lead salvo in the broader cybersecurity debate. Its top backers, Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), hoped to help the federal government and private sector share data in real time and better defend against crippling cyberattacks.
The bill, however, quickly proved divisive. While most of Washington coalesced around the need behind information sharing, some lawmakers and privacy hawks felt CISPA in particular would have granted government too easy access to Americans' private information.
Rogers and Ruppersberger campaigned to address those criticisms through a series of amendments offered during floor debate — and in the end, they mustered enough support to pass their bill. But CISPA never even had the chance for floor time in the Senate, where lawmakers instead hoped to tackle information sharing as part of a broader bill focused on critical infrastructure. The White House, meanwhile, initially threatened to veto the House's work — though the pledge came before any tweaks had been made.
As the debate begins anew in 2013, Rogers and Ruppersberger feel they have new momentum to advance CISPA through Congress. For one thing, the executive order signed by President Barack Obama on Tuesday handles one of the thorniest issues in the cyberfight — critical infrastructure — and eases some of the political pressure on Congress, Ruppersberger told POLITICO Thursday.
It doesn't mean, though, that it's smooth sailing ahead for CISPA supporters.
The American Civil Liberties Union and others have resumed sounding their alarms about the bill because it still lacks language explicitly requiring companies to strip personally identifiable information from any data exchanged through the program. That change has allies on Capitol Hill — including Schiff, who ultimately voted against CISPA in 2012.

I love moulding. I adore moulding. Rooms that are trimmed with baseboards, lined windows and crown moulding have that clean and 'finished' look that's hard to beat regardless of how much decorating and attention other areas of the room get. It's the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, the well-deserved encore. I wish I could heed my own advice and install moulding in every room tonight, but it's one of those painstakingly slow projects that despite the great results, is usually last on the list to get done (part of that is for good reason… you want your carpet and your wallpaper to sit under the molding, after all).
The new office just received her baseboards and window trim, though!
Wow, what a difference. Now that brown pops right off of the walls!
While traditional moulding can be quite fancy with all of the little grooves and edgings, I've always preferred classic and simple. It stands the test of time (in fact it looks more original in an older house) and provides a clean framing. I love the simple style so much that when purchasing, we opted for cheaper 1/2″ x 12′ boards rather than the pre-primed moulding options available.
For the floors, we chose a larger-than-average baseboard and it really helps to ground the space.
The trick to installing moulding as efficiently as possible is to measure twice, cut once (lesson learned). Each cut received a 45 degree angle so that the corners disappear into each other and it's oh-so important that that 45 degree angle is cut in the right direction at the right length, otherwise you end up with a lot of re-dos.
With that comes the suggestion to make all of your cuts before you begin painting. It's almost inevitable that you'll make a bad cut and it's such a shame when it's on a 10′ baseboard that you've just primed, painted and repainted.
After painting and drying comes installation. We used a nail gun attached to a compressor for a quick install, making sure to nail the baseboard to the wall at each stud (usually 16″ intervals along the wall). The window trim received a nail each 8″ or so, plus the corners.
Next is caulking. We used plastic wood, a filler similar to caulking but one that dries as closely to wood as possible for the fewest seams. We filled those new nail holes, creases and gaps and then gave the plastic wood a good day to dry. A generous amount of sanding ensured that the filler was even with the original wood trim.
Finally the molding was painted over one last time to hide all of the new brown plastic wood filler spots. Speaking of paint, I read somewhere that bright white shows the most dust and that a shade just off will help to hide smudges. We'll see how that works out!
And now those rich chocolate walls have white (or just off-white?) trim to help brighten the space! It looks great and I wish I could wave the magic wand to outfit every room with this simple but great looking moulding.
We painted a 'faux' moulding while originally painting each room (here's a little clip of the living room) when we first moved in, hope to replace this with the real deal someday:
While we didn't tackle crown moulding this time around, the room is beginning to take on that 'finished' look!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT led by 12 points with seven minutes to play and then held off a late rally by Salem State University to take a 61-57 victory in men's basketball action this evening. Junior Andrew Acker (Merion Station, Pa.) and sophomore Justin Pedley (Kennewick, Wash.) each had 15 points to lead the Engineers. Junior Bryan Ortiz (Salem, Mass.) led the Vikings with 19 points off the bench.
Neither team could gain much of an advantage in a first half that saw eight lead changes and six ties. Five and a half minutes in junior Paul Dawson (Stone Mountain, Ga.) hit on a layup that put MIT (6-2) up 8-2, but it would be the biggest advantage that the Engineers would have in the half. Salem State (3-3) came back and outscored MIT 10-2, including a three-pointer from Ortiz, to take a 12-10 lead with 12:31 left in the half.
From that point on it remain tight, with neither team leading by more than two points. Ortiz went on to hit two more treys and score 11 points in the half to keep the Vikings in the thick of things. Acker had 10 first half points for the Engineers and his jumper with 2:56 left turned out to be the final points in the half and gave MIT a 25-23 edge.
MIT came out hot to start the second half and scored the first seven points. The final five of that total came from Pedley, and his layup two minutes in gave MIT its biggest lead of the night, 32-23. Ortiz answered the opening run with a trey, but sophomore Russell Johnson (New York, N.Y.) hit a pair of threes from the corner, with his second make extending the MIT advantage to 47-35 with 13:50 left.
MIT maintained its advantage over the next six minutes, still holding a 12-point lead at 55-43 after a pair of free throws from sophomore Ryan Frankel (New York, N.Y.) with 7:06 to go. Those would be the last points for four and a half minutes for the Engineers, however, and Salem State took advantage.
Sophomore Anthony Hodges (Worcester, Mass.) started the comeback for the Vikings with a layup and then hit a three-point shot with three minutes left to close the gap to 55-50. He then hit a pair of free throws to slice the deficit down to three, but Pedley broke the MIT drought with a pair of free throws to push the lead back to five.
Hodges, who scored all 10 of his points in the second half, came back with another three to make it a two-point game with 1:54 left. Ortiz hit a jumper with 1:26 to go that cut the lead down to one at 58-57, but it proved to be the final points of the night for the Vikings. Ortiz missed on a final three-point try with three seconds left and Pedley iced the win with a pair of free throws.
MIT held a 44-41 edge in shooting percentage and outrebounded the Vikings 36-24. Acker completed a double-double with a game-high 11 rebounds for the Engineers and also shared the team lead in assists with three. Junior Hamed Akanni (Fitchburg, Mass.) also reached double figures in scoring for Salem State with 10 points. Senior Andrew White led the Vikings with six boards.
MIT will play again on Monday, December 9 when it plays at Newbury College at 6 p.m. Salem State will play at Tufts in the New England Classic on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Steely Dan
- Donald Fagen
- Walter Becker
Wry. Crafty. Cerebral. Acerbic. The perfectionists of Steely Dan made deviously slick music.
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker met in college, a fitting environment for the inception of this highly conceptual band. Steely Dan's synthesis of jazz and pop is peppered with witticisms and references and has garnered critical acclaim and widespread fans alike.
Steely Dan has been more of a conceptual framework for inventive music-making than a typical rock band.
Spearheaded by a pair of resourceful musical auteurs—Donald Fagen and Walter Becker—they have done nothing by the books since launching Steely Dan in 1972. The band's very name is a scatological reference from a novel by Beat Generation anti-hero William Burroughs. Though Steely Dan recorded prolifically for much of the Seventies, they toured for only a brief spell early in that decade, deciding they much preferred the studio to the road. This allowed them to craft a wry, nuanced and hyper-literate series of albums—seven in all, released from 1972 to 1980—that are highly regarded by connoisseurs of pop hooks, jazz harmony and desiccating wit.
Beneath the highly polished surface of Steely Dan's music, astute listeners could hear a visceral love of and identification with the very soul of jazz. Fagen and Becker referenced Duke Ellington, Stan Getz and Horace Silver at least as much as any rock-oriented source material. Even so, there was a certain accessible quality to songs like "Reelin' in the Years," "Do It Again" and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" that allowed Steely Dan to connect with rock fans, especially those who were college-aged and –educated.
Co-founders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker met in 1967 while attending Bard College in upstate New York. After serving as touring musicians with Jay and the Americans and trying their hand as staff songwriters, they formed Steely Dan in Los Angeles as an outlet for a growing backlog of offbeat, original material that no one else seemed inclined to record. In the beginning, Steely Dan was an actual band with a lineup of Fagen, Becker, guitarists Denny Dias and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and drummer Jim Hodder. This configuration cut the albums Can't Buy a Thrill (1972), Countdown to Ecstasy (1973) and Pretzel Logic (1974). Though Dias remained on board through 1977's Aja, Steely Dan were almost completely Fagen and Becker's fiefdom by the time of Katy Lied (1975), their fourth album.
On record, the duo recruited the cream of L.A.'s jazz-pop studio scene, including Michael McDonald, Victor Feldman, Jeff Porcaro, David Paich and jazz stalwarts like David Sanborn, Tom Scott, Michael Brecker, Larry Carlton, Chuck Rainey, Bernard Purdie, Phil Woods and Wayne Shorter. Producer-engineer Gary Katz, who worked on every album through 1980's Gaucho, was a vital member of the Steely Dan brain trust whose input was critical to the perfectionist, audiophile quality of the group's recordings. The A-list musicians provided a glossy top coat to Steely Dan's agreeably sleek music—an ironic vehicle for their cutting, urbane and often black-humored lyrics.
The group also had a serious side, too, that's often been overlooked. "Deacon Blues" (from Aja) presented a moving portrait of a down-at-the-heels jazzman, "Kid Charlemagne" nervously surveyed a drug dealer's netherworld, and there was much to suggest that Fagen and Becker weren't just mocking the decadent affectations of the Seventies—though no one did that very thing better than they. Steely Dan hit a commercial and artistic peak in the late Seventies. The hugely popular Aja, released in the fall of 1977, had nothing to do with any musical currents that were popular at the time, but its jazz-inflected lushness and inscrutable intelligence appealed to listeners across the spectrum. Aja, which soared to Number Three, was soon certified platinum—it was, in fact, one of the first albums to receive this newly created award, which recognized sales of one million copies. Within a year of its release, Steely Dan—whose musical sophistication and sardonic outlook made them unlikely candidates for Top Forty success—charted four hit singles: "Peg," "Deacon Blues, "FM" and "Josie." Rolling Stone dubbed them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies."
Steely Dan's long-delayed seventh album, Gaucho, appeared in 1980. A year later, they announced they were breaking up. Over the next two decades, relatively little new music surfaced from either of them. Fagen released a solo album, The Nightfly, in 1982, but would not be heard again until 1993, when his ambitious Kamakiriad—produced by Becker, and representing the duo's first real collaboration since Gaucho—was released. That same year, they reincarnated Steely Dan as something it had rarely been in its previous lifetime: a touring entity. Fagen and Becker led the "All New Steely Dan Orchestra '93" on a national tour. A comprehensive box set, Citizen Steely Dan: 1972-1980, was released late in the year. Walter Becker issued his one and only solo album, 11 Tracks of Whack, in 1994. Steely Dan hit the road again with the "Citizen Steely Dan Orchestra '94." Highlights from the two tours were culled for Alive in America, a single CD released in 1995.
In February 2000, Steely Dan released Two Against Nature, their first album of all-new material in two decades. Later that year, Fagen and Becker compiled and annotated a two-CD best-of, Show Biz Kids: The Steely Dan Story. In 2001, Two Against Nature won a Grammy for Best Album and Steely Dan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was an improbably successful year for a band that had been largely dormant for the previous twenty. Chalk up one more ironic conquest for the unpredictable Steely Dan.

- 1 Description
- 2 Setup
- 3 How to test
- 3.1 First Replica
- 3.2 Second Replica
- 3.3 Management Tools
- 4 Expected Results
Replication testing.
- You will need at least 2 machines to do replication testing but if you have more that is good too. Start on one server and perform an IPA Installation (see QA:Testcase_freeipav3_installation). Let's assume that first server was named srv1 (srv1.ipa.example.org).
How to test
First Replica
Creating a replica is a two-step process. A file representing the replica is prepared on an existing IPA server and this file is then used to install on a new replica.
Prepare a Replica
Let's create a replica named srv2
On srv1 run as root:
# ipa-replica-prepare srv2.ipa.example.org
NOTE: if you installed ipa1 with the --setup-dns option you can create DNS records on the fly with the following command:
# ipa-replica-prepare --ip-address=10.1.2.1 srv2.ipa.example.org
Copy the resulting file to srv2:
# scp /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-srv2.ipa.example.org.gpg srv2.ipa.example.org:
Create a couple of entries on the existing IPA server:
# kinit admin # ipa user-add psmith --first=Patty --last=Smith # ipa group-add engineering --desc=Engineers
Installing the Replica
An IPA replica is a full copy of an IPA server. It has the same requirements that any server has, it will just be configured to share data to one or more other IPA servers.
Start by installing the FreeIPA packages.
On srv2 as root:
# yum install freeipa-server
# ipa-replica-install /root/replica-info-srv2.ipa.example.org.gpg
The installation should exit gracefully with no errors.
Verifying the Installation
We added a couple of entries before we installed the replica, verify that they are available on srv2:
# kinit admin # ipa user-show psmith # ipa group-show engineering # ipa host-show panther # should give a "not found" message
Now we try the reverse and add some entries on srv2 and they should show up on srv1:
# ipa user-add --first=Glen --last=Jones gjones # ipa group-add --desc='Office assistants' assistants
On srv1 run:
# ipa user-show gjones # ipa group-show assistants
Configure the Firewall
New Fedora 19 systems have FirewallD enabled by default, you may want to either open all ports required by FreeIPA server or disable the Firewall for the test and flush iptables rules so that clients do not have issues connecting FreeIPA replica:
# systemctl stop firewalld.service # systemctl disable firewalld.service # iptables -F
CA Replica
By default, a certificate authority is not installed on replicas (unless you specify --setup-ca during ipa-server-install). To add it to srv2, run:
# ipa-ca-install /root/replica-info-srv2.ipa.example.org.gpg
The installation should exit gracefully with no errors.
Second Replica
If you have another machine to test with then continue, otherwise skip to the next set of tests.
Let's create a third server named srv3.
Let's create a replica on srv2 this time. This will result in a replication topology of:
srv1 <-> srv2 <-> srv3
Make sure you have installed a certificate authority on srv2. Only masters with a CA can be used to create replicas.
On srv2 run:
# ipa-replica-prepare srv3.ipa.example.org # scp /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-srv3.ipa.example.org.gpg srv3.ipa.example.org:
On srv3 run:
# yum install freeipa-server
# ipa-replica-install /root/replica-info-srv3.ipa.example.org.gpg
The installation should exit gracefully with no errors.
The same steps in Verifying the Installation should pass.
Entries added on srv3 should appear on both srv2 and srv1.
Management Tools
When there are more than 2 replicas, it is possible to play with the topology.
Testing replication failures
After we created the 2 replicas we are left with a replication topology where srv1 and srv3 both replicate with srv2 but they do not replicate with each other. This means that if srv2 is shut down the other 2 replicas become isolated.
Go on srv2 and shut down ipa:
# ipactl stop
Now go on srv1 and create a new user:
# ipa user-add --first=John --last=Doe jdoe
Switch to srv3 and check that jdoe has not been replicated yet.
# ipa user-show jdoe ipa: ERROR: jdoe: user not found
Go to srv2 and restart ipa:
# ipactl start
Verify that after a ipa is fully started on srv2 that the jdoe user is available:
# ipa user-show jdoe
Do the same on srv3 to verify that replication has been restored and all servers are now synchronized.
Listing servers and replication agreements
You can list all replicating servers in your domain with:
# ipa-replica-manage list srv1.ipa.example.org srv2.ipa.example.org srv3.ipa.example.org
If you want to check which are the replication peers of srv2:
# ipa-replica-manage list srv2.ipa.example.org srv1.ipa.example.org srv3.ipa.example.org
For srv1 and srv3 you should get only srv3 and srv1 respectively.
Use --verbose when asking about a specific server to get more information about its peers.
Changing Topology
To avoid the split brain situation above let's play with topology and add a new link between srv1 and srv3 so that if srv2 is down, the other 2 keeps replicating.
On srv1 issue the following command:
# ipa-replica-manage connect srv3.ipa.example.org
If you have an admin credential cache this command should complete successfully without asking you anything. If you do not have any credentials it will ask you the Directory Manager password.
Once this command completes srv1 and srv3 are linked and replicate to each other.
Try the tests of the previous section, using a new user name and shutting down again srv2. After this new link is created the user should be replicated between srv1 and srv3 even when srv2 is down.
Now let's break a replication agreement so that srv2 and srv3 do not replicate directly anymore. On srv2 do:
# ipa-replica-manage disconnect srv2.ipa.example.org srv3.ipa.example.org
Once this is done the replication topolgy should be: srv2 <=> srv1 <=> srv3 Try the tests of the previous section, but turning off srv1 instead. changes done on srv2 should not be visible in srv3 until you bring up srv1 again.
Forcing a synchronization and re-initializing replicas
Replication can take from a few seconds to a few minutes to complete depending on various factors.
Try forcing an immediate synchronization by issuing a force-sync command on the replica you want to synchronize.
For example to force-sync srv1 from srv2 use this on the srv1 server.
# ipa-replica-manage force-sync --from srv2.ipa.example.org
NOTE: This command accepts on a --from parameter, but not a --to, so it must to be run on the replica that needs to be synchronized.
It may happen that due to compounding issues, replication can't be easily fixed by a simple re-synchronization. In this case a full re-initialization can be performed:
# ipa-replica-manage re-initialize --from srv2.ipa.example.org
Testing clients
If you have extra machines, install clients on them (see QA:Testcase_freeipav3_installation#Add_a_client). The client tests should succeed regardless of which replica is used as the client's master.
If you installed FreeIPA with integrated DNS, the server will automatically set LDAP and Kerberos SRV records to the zone ipa.example.com which is then used by clients to autodiscover FreeIPA server it would connect to.
Disposing of a replica
If a replica becomes useless it should be first removed from the topology with the following command (on srv1 or srv2):
# ipa-replica-manage del srv3.ipa.example.org
If it had a CA installed, it's CA replication agreement shall be removed as well:
# ipa-csreplica-manage del srv3.ipa.example.org
If the host is destroyed before this command is run, use the --force switch to remove dangling pointers to the failed replica.
The command above does not stop the replica itself. Once the replica has been removed from the domain, stop it and uninstall it.
On srv3:
# ipa-server-install --uninstall
Expected Results
All the test steps should end with the specified results.

Why do people listen to country music?
Though the question may sound patronizing, it's actually the subject of serious scholarly inquiry, with a new academic report proposing an evolutionary explanation for people being drawn to songs of failed relationships, lost love and violent vengeance.
Titled Cheatin' Hearts and Loaded Guns, the Review of General Psychology paper argues that high-stakes musical narratives reward listeners by sharing valuable information about reproductive survival. Much like gawking at a traffic accident, it seems dire consequences serve as vital reminders of that which can cut us off at the knees.
In the words of Nashville sweetheart Carrie Underwood, "maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."
"Country music feeds our desire to learn about things that carry high fitness consequences in the world, whether fictional or actual," says report author Robert Kurzban, associate professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.
"It's the same way it can seem weird that people rubberneck at accidents, watching people they don't know and will never see again: there's an informational appetite that's being satisfied."
By "fitness" stakes, Kurzban refers to those things that affect people's ability to survive and reproduce: everything from sexual relationships to physical illness and social conflict.
He notes the cost of betrayal is laid out by Garth Brooks in Papa Loved Mama: "Papa loved mama, mama loved men, mama's in the graveyard, papa's in the pen."
Miranda Lambert addresses domestic violence in Gunpowder and Lead, singing: "He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll. Don't that sound like a real man. I'm going to show him what a little girl's made of: gunpowder and lead."
And the link between commitment, sexual access and reproduction is writ large in Little White Church by the band Little Big Town: "No more calling me baby, no more loving like crazy, no more chicken and gravy. I ain't gonna have your baby 'til you take me down to the little white church."
The paper also acknowledges obvious elements of catharsis.
For instance, even though most people wouldn't reasonably expect to be involved in a booze-fuelled double suicide — a scenario depicted in Brad Paisley's Whiskey Lullaby — they may be drawn to the dark song for the magnitude of the emotional experience.
"It wouldn't be entertaining to find out that Oedipus got a paper-cut; what's tragic is that Oedipus does this other thing that has disastrous fitness consequences: having sex with his mother," says Kurzban.
"It may seem a little dry and dispassionate to look at the arts from a biological perspective. But at the same time, I think it's very productive, helping add to our human understanding."
