Glenn Beck's crazy train keeps barreling down the tracks at breakneck pace. On his show the day before the election, he said that if America is so "dead inside" that we reelect Obama, we deserve to be destroyed by God.
If you look at history through a biblical world view, the last step before a nation is completely destroyed is they drive the righteous from among them. If this isn't a sign of a group of people that will drive the righteous from among them, and that's the last step before God's wrath comes, I fear for our country and it is – it cannot be overstated, it cannot be called paranoid … If you are a God‑fearing person, hear me. Last call, America. Last call. Because the righteous will be driven from among them.They are nasty, divisive and, I'm sorry, but there is no way to describe that quote from Valerie Jarrett other than evil. Warning: Saul Alinsky is just the beginning of these people.
But I believe in the American people. I believe that we are not too far gone. I believe that people can watch and see the difference. They can feel the difference. When you watch Barack Obama, you can just see he is angry. When you watch Mitt Romney, you can see he is not. We are not an angry nation. We don't listen to demagogues like that. It doesn't work. No matter how much power he has amassed, no matter how many friends in the media he has, Americans know. And if they reject it this time, if they're so dead inside – that's a possibility – if they're so dead inside that they can no longer see the difference between good and evil, we have to be destroyed because we will be a remarkable evil on this planet.
Glenn Beck just called someone else a demagogue. I have no ability to parody that.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The No. 7-seed Georgia College softball squad (25-24) suffered a devastating loss in the first round of the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Tournament against the No. 2-seed North Georgia Saints (44-7) Saturday afternoon, 7-6.
Senior Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) shined for the Bobcats finishing 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI. Burnett's two round trippers pushes her to the top-spot all-time on GC's home run list with 25 in her career.
The Bobcats jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after a Burnett blast in the top of the first. After surrendering two in the bottom half of the first and one in the second, the Bobcats found themselves all squared at three.
The 'Cats tacked on one in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, only to be outdone by the Saints in the bottom half of the sixth. Freshman Tiffanie Burns hit a three-run shot to leftcenter to equal the score once again.
In the bottom of the seventh the Saints got a bases-loaded walk to close the game, as Rochelle Shuman crossed the plate with the game-winner. Melissa Dickie picked up the win for the Saints and is now a perfect 18-0 on the season.
Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) finished 2-for-3 with an RBI, run and a stolen base. Shahlisa Shirley (Winter Garden, Fla.) also was a multi-hit performer finishing 2-for-3.
This loss brings the Bobcats' season to a close, a year that saw three players receive All-PBC nods and three Georgia College records broken. Okvist finished the season a perfect 52-for-52 on the base paths, setting the GC single season and career record.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Making Time For Worship: Understanding Liturgical Seasons (Part 1)
by Michael Barber © 2006
Check the news wires and you'll see that one of the big stories today is the celebration of Mardis Gras down in New Orleans. Most people are familiar with the annual public displays of wantonness and immorality down in Louisiana. What is often a footnote to the story is that Mardis Gras was historically tied to another day: Ash Wednesday.
The original settlers of New Orleans (and Louisiana in general) were French Catholics. Mardis Gras marks the last day before the season of Lent—a time of fasting and self-denial. The original idea was that it was a day to enjoy those things you might be planning on giving up during during the introspection and penitential time of Lent—sweets, creature comforts, etc. Of course, now its name is synonymous with unbridled hedonism—a total distortion of the spirituality of the season.
I guess that should not surprise us. Our society has systematically secularized the calendar, which is actually pretty odd since throughout history the calendar for virtually all civilizations was primarily a religious expression. Our culture, however, has forsaken "holy days" for "holidays" (note the etymology). As we prepare for and begin the season of Lent I will be posting articles on the importance of the liturgical year—the biblical basis, the practice of Jews at the time of Jesus, Jesus' own observances, and the practice of the early Church. Moreover, I will focus on the seasonal rites of fasting and penitence. This is an introduction to the concept.
Grace Builds Upon Nature
One of the major axioms of Thomism is the principle that "grace builds upon nature." In fact, Aquinas said that grace presupposes nature. God does not simply wipe out our humanity in offering us his grace. Grace works within our nature to heal it, to perfect it and to elevate it. This relationship is understood in light of others: the Old Testament and the New Testament, faith and reason, etc.
In other words, it is not as though the natural is evil and the supernatural is good. Creation itself was made to be "good." In a special way, humanity is created "in the image of God" (Gen. 1:27). Yet, all creation points us to the Creator. This is the theme of Psalm 19:
1 The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
4 yet their voice goes out through all the
earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his
chamber, and like a strong man runs its course with
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and there is nothing hid from its heat.
The psalmist goes on to speak of the law of the Lord. The psalmist here is showing that God's Torah is evident in creation. Likewise, St. Paul seems to speak of this kind of natural theology in Romans 1.
The World As Temple
This ordering of creation to God is seen in the seven-day creation narrative. The six days of work are meant to point us toward the Lord—toward the Sabbath. Here I want to take an extensive quote from Cardinal Ratzinger's The Spirit of the Liturgy (I won't put it in block):
"Creation moves toward the Sabbath, to the day on which man and the whole created order participates in God's rest, in his freedom. Nothing is said directly about worship, still less about the Creator needing the gifts of men. The Sabbath is a vision of freedom. On this day slave and master are equals. The 'hallowing' of the Sabbath means precisely this: a rest from all relationships of subordination and a temporary relief from all burden of work. Now some pople conclude from this that the Old Testament makes no connection between creation and worship, that it leads to a pure vision of a liberated society as the goal of human history, that from the very beginning its orientation is anthropological and social, indeed, revolutionary. But this is a complete misunderstanding of the Sabbath. The account of creation and the Sinai regulations about the Sabbath come from the same source. To understand the account of creation properly, one has to read the Sabbath ordinances of the Torah. Then everything becomes clear. The Sabbath is the sign of the covenant between God and man; it sums up the inward essence of the covenant. If this is so, then we can now define the intention of the account of creation as follows: creation exists to be a place for the covenant that God wants to make with man… If creation is meant to be a space for the covenant, the place where God and man meet with one another, then it must be thought of as a space for worship" (The Spirit of the Liturgy, 25-26).
That the world was understood as sacred space is clear also from other passages. We'll consider just a couple.
It is not surprising then that ancient Israel saw the world not just as a mere habitat, but viewed it as a kind of cosmic temple. This is evident, for example, in Job 38, which describes the creation of the world in terms evocative of a temple-building project: laying a "foundation" (v. 4); determining its "measurements" (v. 5); establishing its "cornerstone" (v. 6); the description of the angels "singing" like the Levites in the temple (v. 7); setting its "bars and doors" (8-10); the clouds as glory-cloud of presence (v. 9); restricting the entry of the waters, described as "proud waves" (v. 11).
We could also look at the way the construction of the tent and the temple mirror the creation narrative. Moses blesses the tabernacle when it's complete, just as God blessed creation when his work was done (Gen 2:3; Exod 39:43; 40:9). Moses finishes his work by speaking of the holiness of the Sabbath, just as the Lord sanctified the seventh day at the end of the creation account in Genesis 1 (Gen. 2:2-4; Exod 31:12-17).
So much more could be said about this (e.g., look at the creation themes in Solomon's dedication of the temple (1 Kings 6-8). Suffice it to say, many scholars have recognized temple imagery in the description of creation. For example, Jon D. Levenson: : "The Temple is the epitome of the world, a concentrated form of its essence, a miniature of the cosmos." (Sinai and Zion, 138). (For more discussion and scholarly support, see my book, Singing In The Reign: The Psalms and the Liturgy of God's Kingdom.)
The Liturgical Year
From the very beginning, worship is woven into God's design for creation. Time is sanctified by the Sabbath. In a sense, Genesis 1 gives us the beginning of a liturgical calendar. In fact, when God creates the sun, moon and stars, his express purpose for them is that they will serve "for signs and for seasons and for days and years" (Gen 1:14). It is generally accepted that the determination of seasons and days refers specifically to liturgical feasts and seasons. (Remember, holidays where originally, holy-days.)
From this acorn we will see the oak tree of the liturgical calendar which, like the Sabbath, is finally spelled out at Sinai. We will look at the Old Testament religious calendar and see how out it developed until the time of Christ. We will then move on to consider how Jesus, himself a Jew of his time, observed religious feasts. Finally, we will look at the early Christian liturgical observances and see how they grew out of the Old Testament liturgical year.
Stay with me folks, we've got a lot to get to!

Dr. Moses Lee, who is dean for the natural and applied sciences and a professor of chemistry at Hope College, has been invited to be a featured speaker during an international conference focused on improving the teaching of science in higher education.
Lee is one of only nine science educators - and the only one from an undergraduate college - being featured during the conference "Transforming Education: From Innovation to Implementation," taking place on Wednesday-Friday, Oct. 10-12, at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. He will be speaking as part of a panel of college and university leaders addressing "How to Lead and Facilitate Institutional Change."
The conference's goals include development of a working position paper on effective practices for transforming STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education.
The presenters represent a mix of government agencies, science organizations, and higher-education settings. The event's special guest is Dr. Carl E. Wieman, associate director of science with the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the opening address will be presented by science educator and consultant Dr. Robert B. Barr, author of "From Teaching to Learning: A New Paradigm for Undergraduate Education." The other speakers in addition to Lee are from organizations and institutions including the National Science Foundation (NSF); The National Academies/the National Research Council; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia; the University of Minnesota; and Chattanooga State Community College.
Hope has received recognition in a variety of ways through the years for its success in teaching through collaborative faculty-student research, and for the high quality of the research itself. Undergraduate research has been demonstrated to be a best practice in promoting students' learning, self-confidence, retention and career preparation, all the while creating new knowledge that contributes to the betterment of humankind. The college has the largest summer research program in the sciences in the nation among liberal arts colleges - this past summer, close to 180 students worked on more than 68 projects with nearly 50 members of the natural and applied sciences faculty at Hope. The research program is supported by a significant level of external funding in the form of independent research and program-wide grants from federal and private foundations. The program grants include two NSF-S-STEM (scholarship for STEM) grants, and five NSF-REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) awards in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics. The awards are in addition to an HHMI biomedical science education award as well as a Beckman Scholar Program grant.
Lee has been a member of the Hope faculty and dean since 2005, and previously was the Rose J. Forgione Professor of Chemistry at FurmanUniversity since 1989. He actively pursues research involving undergraduate and high school student co-workers, and to date has mentored nearly 300 undergraduate students as well as 13 post-docs, five Ph.D. students and 32 Master of Science students in his laboratory. Together they have published more than 170 peer-reviewed research articles.
Recognition of his teaching and scholarship has included a Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (1994-99), a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Scholar-Fellow Award (2002-05) and the 2009 "American Chemical Society (ACS) Award for Research at an Undergraduate Institution," which honors a chemistry faculty member whose research in an undergraduate setting has achieved wide recognition and contributed significantly to chemistry and to the professional development of undergraduate students. He has served on the boards of Research Corporation, ACS-Petroleum Research Fund, West Michigan Science Technology Initiative and The Murdock Trust, and also served one year as an expert consultant with the NSF. His research program has received continuous funding from federal agencies (such as the NSF and the National Institutes of Health), private foundations and business corporations.

Abraham Anghik Ruben
Canadian, b. 1951
Spirits of the Great Hunt, 1998–1999
Brazilian soapstone
116 x 75 x 32 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Tradition Fine Foods Ltd.
The artist's early years were spent with his family in hunting camps near Paulatuk in the Western Arctic. In 1972 he studied at the Native Arts Center at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, and by 1975 he decided to pursue a career as an artist. Ruben often uses Brazilian soapstone to create his sculptures. In this large work an Inuit shaman sings and beats his drum to communicate with his spirit helper, an eagle that rises up behind him. Within the breast of the eagle is the shaman's apprentice in a semi-fetal position. Underneath these figures, game animals and a hunter with snow goggles represent the hunting life of the Arctic. At times the shaman must summon his or her spirit helpers to help find game for the community to avoid starvation.

Giuliana Rancic Excited to Launch 'Affordable, Easy' HSN Line
G by Giuliana debuts on HSN the third week of September
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty
Fashion Police officer Giuliana Rancic is about to lay down the law. The E! News hostess and red carpet pro is launching a line for HSN, G by Giuliana, later this year — and she's already excited to share the collection with fans.
"It's super affordable, easy to just wear," she told PEOPLE in New York recently while promoting DDF skincare. "I'll be wearing it on my shows. I think people are really going to like it."
Rancic's father was a master tailor in Naples, Italy, and in part inspired his daughter's designer dreams. "He's always had clothing stores and had men's and women's clothing, so I've always had fashion running in my veins," she said. "But I'm not crazy, not delusional; I didn't try to do a line and sell it to the top department stores with a crazy price tag. I just wanted something that everyone could get."
Rancic will spill more details about the line on the May 29 episode of Giuliana & Bill, according to WWD, and will appear on HSN in the third week in September to sell her wares. "It's going to be a lot of fun," she promised. Tell us: Would you buy a Rancic design?

Australia's series-levelling triumph over South Africa in Johannesburg has helped India rise a rung to the second spot in ICC's latest Test rankings.
India, currently leading a three-Test home series against the West Indies 2-0, were pushed up the ladder by Australia's thrilling two-wicket win in the Johannesburg Test.
Michael Clarke's men chased a record 310-run target to level the series in a nerve-wrecking climax that was interrupted by rain.
The 1-1 result pushed South Africa to the third spot with 116 rating points, a point less than India.
India were the world number one till they were humiliated 0-4 by England in an away series in July-August.
England occupy the top spot with 125 rating points, while Australia are placed fourth with 105 ratings points.
Sri Lanka complete the top-five with 99 points followed by Pakistan (98).

Kudos to the Congressman and his staff for hosting a successfully civil discourse Town Hall meeting last night in Ilwaco, in Pacific County, WA. And of course, the primary range of questions had to do with Health Care/Insurance Reform. Death threats to the Congressman aside, he still managed to conduct his usual in-person Town Hall meetings in several Southwest Washington counties.
What was the process?
I can't speak to the in person Town Hall meetings he held in other counties except for what I've read in media (some of which has been reported at Washblog). I can speak to the TH we attended in Ilwaco last night. Also Baird has added telephone Town Hall meetings as well to his usual array of in-person TH meetings in the SW counties.
The Ilwaco TH meeting was orderly and permitted the many to hear both the questions and Baird's responses without interruption or interference. Which is precisely what I wanted – information and not the drama of interference that has been the hallmark of many other TH meetings across the nation.
We arrived at the high school, and yes, there was a tiny contingent of less than impressive 'protesters' with their home-made cardboard signs. They kept their behavior under control and did not molest the people as they were coming into the auditorium. We signed in, and we were asked if we wanted to ask a question of the Congressman; if so, we were given a number (kind of like at an auction).
We were seated and it was explained by the moderator that corresponding numbers were in a twirl cage (bingo comes to mind), and numbers would be picked at random. Those persons who held those numbers would come forward to be seated in the first row of seats. Each would then get 3 minutes of time at the microphone to state their concerns, ask their questions and the Congressman would have 3 minutes of time to respond.
Questions came from both parties. I think people are sophisticated enough to filter out what is rhetoric and focus in on the actual question, when there is a question and not just a 3 minute pulpit for speech making. The Congressman's opportunity to respond, or better said, give the facts as he knows them, provided a format that helped enormously to dispel some of the rhetorical myths, giving the auditorium of people an opportunity to listen to and hear the information.
In Congressman Baird's Town Halls that we have attended in the past, even when my own emotions have been highly charged, (ie, his vote in 2007 for the Surge in Iraq where our son-in-law was deployed), he has been respectful to all, including us, in responding to concerns and questions. Last night's Town Hall was no exception. He was respectful, courteous, and responsive to every question, even the few who formulated their questions in what seemed designed to bait him. He actually was skillful in handling those baiting type questions, both responding and further elaborating on concerns and situations that led to the current Health Care Reform issue.
It was a 2 hour TH meeting, so obviously, there was not time for everyone who might have wanted to ask a question to have a turn at the microphone. But with the quality of the kinds of questions asked, and Baird's informative responses, I think probably most of the concerns people had in their minds received air time in a very Civil dialogue.
Earlier in August, I was also on one of Baird's telephone TH meetings (Pacific County), and got to ask my question of him; specifically what concerns about the Health Care Reform Bill did he have as he has said he is unsure how he will vote when it comes up for vote in Congress. Frankly, I would like to see him vote for the Bill with all of it's warts and flaws rather than to vote against it. I sense that voting for the Bill starts the ball rolling, probably with a lot of tweaks needed in years to come. Whereas to vote against it because of it's imperfections does little to alter or change the current deeply flawed Health Care 'system'.
As Baird explained he has heard from doctors, it is not really a system so much as an evolution that has evolved into a complex hodge podge of health care that some get and some don't.
On a personal note, I do have to be a bit amused at one of the questions last night. The Chair of the Republican Party in our 3rd Congressional District was among one of those whose number was called, giving her time at the microphone. She has had time at earlier Town Hall meeting in another county to state her concerns to the Congressman and she did make an offer of her home as a venue for the Congressman to hold an in- person Town Hall, guaranteeing him an assurance of safety she would personally provide. He did thank her for and it did seem he accepted the offer; I'm not sure he intended to hold a Town Hall in her home, nor would that be logical. He did hold the in person Town Hall in Ilwaco, at the high school – a more appropriate venue and approximately 2 miles from her home. She has not been deprived of opportunity of access to the Congressman, nor of opportunity to state her concerns or questions.
She has had a beef with what she terms his rejection of her offer, labeling it as evidence of an unwillingness on the part of Congressman Baird to hold in-person Town Hall meetings. She has both blogged it and arranged for a newspaper article in The Columbian, of her account of his rejection of her offer. In my opinion, it goes to show the 'slant' of her perspective in presenting the situation as a rejection, as an unwillingness on Baird's part to conduct in person Town Hall meetings. And it is a perspective she is pleased to broadcast in the media and telegraph to her party. It was, in fact, Baird offering a more appropriate venue with a wider opportunity, for the larger populace in the area to participate in an in person Town Hall. Probably safer for everyone also, with the County Sheriff there, and the presence of uniformed officers stationed along the side corridors.
Her concern as she stated it in the question last night to Congressman Baird were some remarks he had made in earlier years; favoring universal health care and duration terms of office. Baird corrected the perception she had of his earlier remarks on terms of office. She spoke again indicating she was in favor of all people having access to health care, and when Baird asked if she was in favor of universal health care, she said no, she was not, and promptly sat down. There was a bit of a buzz talk after that exchange amongst the people in the auditorium.
Highlighting this more to illustrate, in my opinion, a tactic of intent on the part of the Republican party in trying to direct attention away from the Health Care Reform issue, while offering little of substantive value as an alternative method to adjust the disparities in health care as we know it today. Congressman Baird is not the issue, nor is the next election. Health Care Reform is the issue on many people's mind and they seem to want information, not politicking.
My thanks to Brian Baird for the opportunity to learn what I felt I wanted and needed to learn about Health Care Reform – less the noise of disruptive interference. Good job in putting together the Ilwaco Town Hall meeting.

DIRKS, Donald D. 1923-2013
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 3/19/2015 at 08:10:14
Donald Dwight Dirks, 89, of Reinbeck, Iowa, died Tuesday, May 21, 2013, at Parkview Manor in Reinbeck, Iowa. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, 2013 at Union Congregational United Church of Christ in Reinbeck, Iowa. A committal service will follow at Reinbeck Cemetery with military honors being conducted by the Reinbeck American Legion Action Post #242. A visitation will be held from 5 p.m.to 7 p.m. on Friday, May 24, 2013 at the French-Hand Funeral Home in Reinbeck, with a Masonic service conducted by the Masonic Coin Lodge #394 at 6:30 p.m. Memorials may be directed to the family.
Don was born on July 8, 1923 on the family farm in Tama County, Iowa; the son of Albert and Minnie Dirks. Don graduated from Reinbeck High School with the class of 1941. He went on to earn his Bachelors of Science Degree in Chemistry from the University of Iowa. Don served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II as a First Lieutenant and pilot of a B-17 bomber. Upon his honorable discharge, Don returned to Iowa and was united in marriage to Beth Andersen on June 16, 1946 at the Union Congregational United Church of Christ in Reinbeck. Together they welcomed three sons into their family.
Don worked with his father on the family farm, in auctioneering and residential real-estate. Don also operated his own business, Dirks Real-Estate and Insurance which was located on Main Street in Reinbeck.
Don was a life-long member of the Union Congregational United Church of Christ in Reinbeck, where he was a Sunday school teacher for many years. He was also a member of the American Legion Action Post #242, the Masons, the Shriners, and the 40 & 8.
Don enjoyed collecting antiques, dancing, golfing and reading. Don loved traveling with his family and wintering in Arizona with his wife and all of their friends. Don was especially honored to be a part of the August 19, 2010 Honor Flight. Don enjoyed people, but his true joy in life came from spending time with his friends and family.
Don is survived by his wife Beth, his sons David (Jane) Dirks, Douglas (Connie) Dirks and Dick Dirks (Mona Danner); his grandchildren Ryan (Nicole) Dirks, Cassie (Nick) Zumwalt, Devin, Emily, Austin, Nate and Caden Dirks; and great-grandchildren Noah, Logan, Ashtyn and Aiden.
He was preceded in death by his parents.

Pardon Me, But There Is A Mouse In This Can Of Diet Pepsi
(Ed. note— Ok, let me just tell you that reading this story made my stomach flip, which is something that almost never happens to me, so if you're eating lunch or (heaven forbid) drinking a Pepsi — just go to Cute Overload and forget this ever happened.) A Florida man says he was drinking a can of Diet Pepsi when he noted that it tasted funny. (Warning: "Not Safe For Lunch" graphic picture inside.)
His wife told WFTV, "He made a face. I was sitting there and he said it tasted awful and something wasn't right." According to the couple, there was what appeared to be a mouse inside the can.
Here's how they described it.
"We're not sure what it is. It was pink. It looks like spaghetti. It's really sick," the wife said.
Pepsi said that something might have crawled in the can and died after it was open, but the couple doesn't really seem convinced. The FDA has opened an investigation into the incident, you can read their report here (PDF).

Great review Pete! Did the build a droid replace the build a lightsaber display?
At some point a master picture/combo list is really needed for this line.
I can't imagine the headache I might feel trying to track all the different droids to be made, if I was there, I'd probably make a handful of droids, and then slam a beer for each one.
So that's 56 parts out of 71 that I can photograph and put up somewhere.
You've still got my e-mail addy - if you take the pictures, we'd be glad to host/post an archive of close-ups of the different parts.
I was interested in your comments about the different tones of the red, blue, and green parts. Any chance you might be able to do a side-by-side with the previous R2-R9, R3-M3, etc?
So, being that the torso is BAD, I wonder what the price would be if someone were to build a monster droid (with four arms)? Would it be more, or would it be the same if the person skipped out on a middle leg and hat?

By the editorial board of The Tibetan Political Review
The Beijing-based Tibetan writer Woser has written a sharp critique touching on the future course of Tibetan democracy. The context of her article is the controversy sparked by Woser's criticism of the new Kalon Tripa, Lobsang Sangay, for repeatedly omitting Tapey's 2009 self-immolation in official lists of such self-immolations, despite repeated criticism for doing so.
(It remains unclear whether Sangay's initial November 2011 omission was a simple mistake or a policy decision, because it was never explained, but it was a position that he stuck with for several months. Starting around March 2012, however, the Tibetan government-in-exile began including Tapey in such lists, apparently without comment or explanation).
The Critique by Woser
Woser starts out her article describing the fallacy that "unity" requires not criticizing elected leaders:
Her next sentence is chilling, comparing this demand for Tibetan "unity" with the reasoning of an authoritarian system:
She rebuts this nascent authoritarianism, arguing that criticism is inherent to democracy:
Woser returns to the specific case of Tibetan democracy, arguing that citizens' free criticism of leaders is essential to help avoid mistakes:
Woser's corollary to the right of citizens to criticize is the need for the elected leadership to listen. Without naming any specific Tibetan leader, Woser issues a scathing critique of the "arrogan[ce]" of any leader who implies that constructive criticism damages "unity":
Woser closes by pointing out that the exiled Tibetan leadership should recognize that, since they were not chosen in an election by all 6 million Tibetans, their legitimacy as Tibet's representatives must be built on "close exchange and communication" with the Tibetan people inside Tibet. She suggests that these leaders "show their modesty, benevolence and active engagement", specifically by "providing Tibetans living in Tibet with real guidance and useful methods and by performing an effective role as leaders".
Lobsang Sangay's Dissertation
Any Tibetan voter will recall that "unity" was the first part of Lobsang Sangay's three-part campaign slogan ("unity, innovation, self-reliance"). In his inaugural speech on August 8, 2011, he went further, stating that "Unity is paramount and it simply cannot be compromised; it is the bedrock of our movement."
Interestingly, Sangay's 2004 S.J.D. dissertation examined the tension between "unity" and democracy in exile, so passionately spoken to by Woser's article. In Sangay's dissertation, he came down in favor of democracy as opposed to unity. His dissertation emphatically embraced the position that the Tibetan freedom movement needs "diversity" and "free speech", over what Sangay called "unity" and "speaking with one voice".
Sangay's dissertation, entitled Democracy in Distress: Is Exile Policy a Remedy?: A Case Study of Tibet's Government in Exile -- available from the Harvard Law Library -- examines the "inherent paradox between the goal and function of governments-in-exile as a freedom movement and as a democratization process". (This quote and the following ones are from the section entitled The Debate: Can There be Democracy in Exile?) Sangay notes:
Sangay then asks: "Are democracy and the national freedom movement mutually exclusive and can they be compatible?" Sangay recounts the opinions of numerous individuals he interviewed, including Tashi Wangdi, Sonam Topgyal, Namgyal Wangdu, and Chajoe Ngawang Tenpa. He concludes that democracy, rather than forced "unity", should triumph:
The principled views in Sangay's 2004 dissertation are curiously inconsistent with his more recent statements about unity being "paramount". It is unclear whether his views on the tension between free speech and "unity" have changed, now that such free speech is directed against him and his administration. Certainly anyone is free to change their mind, although in that case an explanation would be useful. However, to the degree that Woser's description of attacks is accurate, her experience is incompatible with the progressive ideals described in Sangay's dissertation.
We believe that Woser's recent article and Sangay's S.J.D. dissertation are entirely correct in their embrace of political plurality, free speech, and the essential need for elected leaders to listen to the citizenry. We believe that democracy benefits from – and in fact depends on – a vibrant political discourse in which
citizens are free to criticize their elected representatives, and representatives listen.
We also believe that, from a practical perspective, free criticism helps prevent leaders from making mistakes (as Woser pointed out), because no politician is infallible. Even for a politician's self-interest, magnanimously accepting free criticism shows that he or she is secure, confident, and democratic.
Any attempt to stifle democratic discourse in the name of "unity" is therefore both profoundly anti-democratic as well as misguided on a practical level. Conversely, a vibrant political debate by an informed citizenry, such as Sangay endorsed in his 2004 dissertation, will "strengthen and sustain the government in exile." It is the unfortunate use of "unity"-based attacks, rather than the exercise of free democratic speech, that is the true culprit in harming Tibetan unity. It is the responsibility of all Tibetans – including the Kalon Tripa and every other citizen – to strenuously disavow such tactics.

The sixth-seeded Austin College Kangaroos stunned the third-seeded University of Dallas Crusaders 74-58 in the quarterfinal round of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament on Friday night in Hughey Gym.
Austin College got out to a hot start from the field, shooting 58.3% from the floor in the first half, and kept that offensive momentum going in the second half. The 'Roos finished the game knocking down 55.1% of their field goals overall. Both teams got off to a slow start on the offensive end before an 11-2 run for Austin College made it 21-10 in favor of the 'Roos with 5:30 left before halftime.
Two three pointers from Drew Assinesi quickly cut the margin to 28-20 with 2:37 left before the break, but Austin College would respond by scoring seven unanswered to push the margin to 15 before Assinesi scored twice in the final minute of the half to send the Crusaders into the locker room trailing 35-24.
Dallas pulled to within seven early in the second half after a pair of Tanner Bruffey free throws that made it 39-32, and after a small run by the 'Roos, a Bruffey three pulled UD back to under single digits with 9:11 to play. With the score at 66-55 in favor of the 'Roos with two and a half to play, Austin College would score eight unanswered highlighted by a breakaway dunk from Ransom Okpala to give the 'Roos their largest lead of the game at 74-55.
Okpala hit 7-of-13 shots from the field on his way to 17 points and added three steals, and Walter Phillips added 14 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks. Harry Hampden-Smith came off the bench to score a career-high 13 points, grab nine rebounds, and hand out four assists and Jordan Hancock chipped in 12 points for the 'Roos.
Assinesi led all scorers with 19 points, knocking down 3-of-5 from long range, and handed out a game-high six assists for Dallas. Ross Davidson scored 18 points and grabbed nine boards and Bruffey finished with 10 points and six rebounds as Dallas shot just 40.7% from the game.
With the win, Austin College advances to the SCAC semifinals where they will take on second-seeded Colorado College at 7:00 p.m. Colorado College has won two of three against the 'Roos this season, but Austin College knocked off the Tigers 72-61 on January 20 in Hughey Gym. The winner will face either top seeded Trinity University or fourth-seeded Southwestern University in the SCAC Championship game on Sunday.

Best of 2010 Awards: Multiplatform Game
Shacknews loves it some cowboy-gaming and Red Dead Redemption was our definite pick for best multiplatform game, though we were a bit sad you PC gamers didn't get to play the game. Red Dead was all about the experience and the world it created. Through the use of random roadside events, Rockstar San Diego managed to make the game world feel alive and dangerous when close to towns. When out in the wilderness, Rockstar San Diego makes the game feel alive and extra dangerous through the use of random cougars.
Beyond that, the game is packed with stuff to do between quietly exploring the countryside to gambling in saloons to hopping online with friends for some free roam or competitive multiplayer. Finally, the ending sequence is among one of the best we've played in recent memory.
Runner-up: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood refines everything about Assassin's Creed II and lets us romp around Rome, while building up our cadre of nimble assassins to do our bidding. The game's story helps progress both Ezio's memory-based journey and Desmond's present-day storyline, which should help bridge the gap between this and the next game in the series. Ubisoft also added an unconventional multiplayer mode, perfectly suited to the franchise's gameplay, which is basically just a nice bonus on top of this game.
Nominees: Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Final Fantasy XIII.
[Multiplatform Game is part of Shacknews Best of 2010 Awards. For more information, including selection methodology, see this introduction.]

Reflecting the long history and exquisite vistas of the Italian countryside, Tuscan décor is a lovely option for bringing a sense of antique charm and natural beauty into your home. If you hate stuffy, pretentious decorating and you want to design a cozy, lived-in feel for your house, you simply can't go wrong with Tuscan décor. Emphasizing warm colors, natural materials, and simple details, Tuscan decorating exudes comfort, simplicity, and peace.
At its most basic level, Tuscan décor is a celebration of the beauty of nature (think vineyards and rolling hills) and the joy of food, friends, and family. That means you'll want to emphasize:
* Rustic, country elements
* Earth tone colors, especially warm golds, terra cottas, and greens
* Natural materials like wood and stone
* Simple details, especially organic motifs such as leaves and vines
* Time-worn, aged, and distressed decor
Start by choosing several antique-look furnishings for your room. From leather topped benches to embossed wall medallions to brightly painted hall tables, the larger pieces of your décor will set the stage and help create that aged, Tuscan feel. Be sure that you steer away from modern lines and materials (including shiny metals) to maintain the time-worn country look you're going for.
Next, work in appropriate accents. Decorative candlesticks are always a great option, as are simple urn shaped lamps. Also, consider displaying ceramic plates on a rustic hanging plate rack or grouping colorful earthenware vases on a table. Not only do these accents add splashes of Mediterranean color, they also draw on the importance of both food and simple materials in traditional Tuscan designing.
The same Tuscan style that's perfect for your interior decorating can also make the outdoor spaces of your home seem cozy and inviting. Using earth tones, natural materials, and time-worn pieces, your outdoor Tuscan décor is an attractive, laid-back way to complement your landscaping and create that ideal outdoor retreat. By simply adding outdoor accents that fit within the theme of Tuscan decorating, you can take your garden, porch, or patio from basic to charming Italian-country!
The first step is adding a fountain. A key part of the landscape and home architecture in Tuscany, fountains integrate water into outdoor décor, becoming a featured focal point in practically every courtyard or garden. You can do the same in your outdoor space, creating an eye-catching accent and adding the soothing sound of water to the sensory experience of your garden. Opt for a simple tiered fountain in warm terra cotta colors or choose a more detailed pedestal fountain. Remember, simple and natural should be your two key criteria when selecting a Tuscan-style fountain-materials should look like stone or terra cotta, not modern metals, and detailing should be uncomplicated and reflect the beauty of nature in botanical motifs and patterns. Position your fountain as the center of attention in your garden, making it the heart of your outdoor space and the focus of your Tuscan décor.
You'll want to consider statuary. With its storied history and ancient past, Tuscany is filled with exquisite statues from monumental architecture to simple country gardens. For the perfect Italian-inspired outdoor décor in your yard, a statue or two is a must. Keep in mind that any kind of statuary (in earth tones or natural stone colors) can work in your Tuscan decorating. Traditionally, Tuscan design would include classical forms-think the Venus de Milo-but that doesn't mean you have to stick with traditional nudes. As long as your statue choice stays grounded in the fundamentals of Tuscan décor (natural materials, aged appearance, organic details), just about any statue can complement your Tuscan theme.
You don't have to live in Tuscany to have the feel of a Tuscan villa. You can create that cozy feeling in your own home using warm colors, natural materials, and keeping it simple in design.

Thanks in large part to Jimmie Foxx's season for the ages, the Red Sox finished 27 games above .500 in 1938 but still fell short of their first pennant since 1918. In the fall, the Boston Shamrocks played a few games at Fenway Park but soon went out of business. Local collegiate teams fared better and Boston College's football team went 4-1 at the Fenway Park in 1938.
Record: 88-61, 2nd in American League
Manager: Joseph E. Cronin
Attendance: 646,459
A brash California kid named Ted Williams thought he would make the ballclub in 1938 but Joe Cronin shipped the youngster to the Minneapolis Millers for a year of seasoning. On leaving big-league camp, Williams declared to one of the remaining outfielders, "I'll be back, and I'll be making more money than the three of you put together." Williams went on to win the 1938 American Association Triple Crown.
In the majors, Jimmie Foxx almost won the American League Triple Crown in 1938. He ranked first in the league with 175 RBIs, led the league in batting average with a .349 mark, and his 50 home runs trailed only Hank Greenberg's 58. Foxx held the franchise's single-season home run record until David Ortiz hit 54 in 2006 and his RBI total from the 1938 season is still the franchise record (104 of them were collected at Fenway Park). With 19 of 22 first-place votes, Foxx was named MVP for the third time in seven years.
Joe Vosmik's 201 hits for the Red Sox led the league and Doc Cramer came in second with 198. It's the only time Red Sox batters have finished 1-2 in that category. As a team, the Red Sox batted .299 with Cramer, Foxx, and Vosmik each scoring over 100 runs.
The Red Sox ended the season 9 1/2 games behind the Yankees but their second place finish in the league was their best since 1918.
On May 10, 1938, before the Red Sox played the Indians, the Harvard baseball team took the Fenway Park field against a group of out-of-town firemen. However, the game was postponed just before the first inning due to rain. Later that year, on August 1, Fenway Park hosted three three-inning games featuring teams from the Boston Police Department, Boston Fire Department, Boston City Hall, and the Massachusetts State House. The Boston Fire Department edged the Boston Police in one of the games and the team from City Hall, with Boston Mayor Maurice Tobin dressed in Red Sox uniform, defeated the State House in another.

The Boston Shamrocks played a pair of games at Fenway Park in 1938, losing to a team of collegiate stars in the second annual College All-Star Game in Boston before a defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates (the football version), whose roster included future Supreme Court Justice Byron "Whizzer" White. Unfortunately, the Shamrocks soon went out of business but Boston College and Boston University's football teams would also take the Fenway field often in 1938; BC went 4-1 at the ballpark, while BU went 2-2.

*For many years, the City of Boston regularly held a summertime Mayor's Charity Field Day. Many of these field days took place at Fenway Park, with a variety of sports, games, activities and other amusements for the crowds. In certain years, the Mayor's Charity Field Day even included an abbreviated baseball game at Fenway Park that was usually played between local teams.
