The 2K Forums have word from 2K Elizabeth that plans to bring the Minerva's Den DLC and the Protector Trials pack to the PC edition of BioShock 2 have been scrapped. She offers apologies, saying: "We will also not be offering Protector Trials and Minerva's Den on the PC in the future – and I want to say that I'm sorry for the disappointment this will cause to PC players out there. As always, if any of these issues change in the future, I will update you guys first, but at this point in time I don't want to make you wait any longer and these are the most definite answers I have and you guys should deem them final decisions." A later post adds a vague explanation, saying: "Timing and technical issues were the problem." Thanks Eurogamer.

Hello, I am going to Budapest in May to get my CELTA certification and I would like to quickly find employment somewhere in Central Europe or maybe even Russia. There is one problem. It appears that all of the schools don't hire until September and I am looking for work in June. Even the Caldonian school isn't hiring in June. Can anybody out there point me in the right direction or should I rely on the school where I am getting my CELTA? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Traditionally, it's holiday time..... as I experienced thru three Czech summers. I have the same problem at the University here in the Netherlands. From April thru Sept. - starvation wages......Probably typical throughout Europe. Good luck!

I have also taught in The Czech Republic,plus Lithuania and Poland.June is a bad time for jobhunting...but if you want to work in September for some school you should start contacting people now.A lot of places just close down during the summer,so it is impossible to contact them. As Deborah says,the summer...a hard time for teachers there,especially for someone just trying to get started.Of course, you could talk to private schools(But be careful!!!!),since they operate during the whole year.Or you could teach privates...but that will probably not provide much money...at least until you can get established. Suggest you look at alternatives for the summer,and start planning on teaching in the fall.You have to always be thinking ahead in this business.Think of as many options as you can...and best of luck!!

SAN LUIS OBiSPO, Calif. - Trailing 56-44 with 12:01 remaining, UC Santa Barbara closed the game on a 24-6 run and went on to post a 68-62 Big West Conference victory over Cal Poly Saturday afternoon at Mott Gym. Jessica Wilson led the way with a game-high 19 points, while Jenna Green scored 15, grabbed 11 rebounds, and blocked a career-high six shots in the Gauchos sixth consecutive victory.
With the win, UCSB improves to two games over the .500 mark for the first time this season at 10-8 overall. The Gauchos have now won four straight in conference play after losing their opener and currently stand at 4-1 in the Big West. Cal Poly lost for the eighth time in its last nine games, falling to 5-12 overall (1-4 Big West).
Wilson scored 15 of her 19 points in the first half on perfect 6-for-6 shooting. The junior guard also grabbed five rebounds and dished out a game-high five assists in her second game filling in for injured LaShay Fears at point guard. Green made 4-of-6 shots in the decisive second half after starting just 2-for-7 and led all rebounders with 11, marking her fourth double-double of the season. Her six blocks eclipsed her previous best of four that came January 6 against UC Irvine. The junior center was tremendous defensively, altering a number of Cal Poly's shots throughout the game.
Junior guard Chisa Ononiwu followed her career-high 20-point performance in the win at UC Davis with another outstanding effort Saturday. She finished with 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting, hauled in six rebounds, and made all seven of her attempts at the free-throw line. Freshman forward Jordan Franey struggled from the floor, missing all seven of her shots after hitting her first three-point attempt, but made 7-of-8 foul shots - including a pair in the final minute - for 10 points.
The Mustangs were led by senior Jessica Eggleston and junior Toni Newman with 12 points apiece. Becky Tratter added nine, while Tamara Wells and Megan Harrison both chipped in with eight.
On top 33-31 at halftime, UCSB quickly saw its lead erased in the opening minutes of the second period, as Cal Poly went ahead 40-38 on a three-pointer from Lisa McBride at the 17:16 mark. After the Gauchos took the lead right back, 44-42 on three consecutive baskets from Ononiwu, the Mustangs scored 14 unanswered points keyed by a Tratter layup in the paint to take a 56-44 advantage with 12:01 remaining.
It was all Gauchos from there. Freshman forward Ariana Gnekow secured an offensive rebound and scored, Ononiwu made a pair of free-throws, Green scored inside, and Ononiwu completed a three-point play to cut the deficit to just three, 56-53 at 9:52. Cal Poly went back ahead by seven less than two minutes later when Wells made a driving layup, was fouled, and sank the foul shot, but UCSB would respond once again.
With both teams over the foul limit and shooting free throws the rest of the way, Santa Barbara took advantage. Franey made five free-throws in a span of a minute and eight seconds and Green put home a beautiful pass from Wilson as the Gauchos tied the game at 61-61, with 5:52 on the clock.
After a Meagan Williams free-throw, Wilson hit a jumper and Newman made 1-of-2 at the line for the Mustangs. Leading 64-62 with 49 seconds to play, Franey was then fouled after a defensive rebound and went to the line with a chance to put the game away. The freshman calmly sank both shots and the Gauchos held on for the 68-62 victory.
UCSB did not shoot the ball particularly well, coming off a 52.9% performance against the Aggies, and finished 39.6% from the floor, making 21-of-53 shots. The Gauchos were just 1-of-10 from downtown. Santa Barbara limited Cal Poly to just 33.9% shooting (21-of-62), however, marking the sixth consecutive game in which the Gauchos held the opposition to under 40% from the field. The Mustangs were 4-of-12 from behind the three-point arc.
Santa Barbara won the rebounding battle yet again, 44-36, despite allowing 12 on the offensive glass. UCSB turned the ball over a total of 22 times to only 18 giveaways for Cal Poly and lead by as many as nine in the first half.
The Gauchos will put their six game winning streak on the line Thursday, January 25 against Cal State Northridge in the first of four straight games in the Thunderdome. Tip-off in the contest with the Matadors is 7:00 p.m.

The LM5575 is an easy to use SIMPLE SWITCHER® buck regulator which allows design engineers to design and optimize a robust power supply using a minimum set of components. Operating with an input voltage range of 6 - 75V, the LM5575 delivers 1.5A of continuous output current with an integrated 330mΩ N-Channel MOSFET. The regulator utilizes an Emulated Current Mode architecture which provides inherent line regulation, tight load transient response, and ease of loop compensation without the usual limitation of low-duty cycles associated with current mode regulators. The operating frequency is adjustable from 50kHz to 500kHz to allow optimization of size and efficiency. To reduce EMI, a frequency synchronization pin allows multiple IC's from the LM(2)557x family to self-synchronize or to synchronize to an external clock. The LM5575 ensures robustness with cycle-by-cycle current limit, short-circuit protection, thermal shut-down, and remote shut-down. The device is available in a power enhanced HTSSOP-16 package featuring an exposed die attach pad for thermal dissipation. The LM5575 is supported by the full suite of WEBENCH On-Line design tools.

George T. Goodspeed
Parkman D. Howe was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, in 1889, of old Essex County stock. A grandfather, Nathaniel Saltonstall Howe, and John Greenleaf Whittier were schoolmates at the Haverhill Academy. His father, Henry Saltonstall Howe, was active for many years in the textile industry and was a bibliophile. After graduating from Harvard in 1911, the son followed his father into the textile business, in which he continued until his retirement in 1946.
The P. D. Howe collection was forty years in the making. For the first thirty of those years it was limited to books and manuscripts of the more important New England authors, mainly of the nineteenth century. In 1963 Mr. Howe was able to write that "with a very few exceptions have all of the first book editions of the principal authors of my period." Having reached this happy state of satiety, he began to collect the earlier New England writers.
The bulk of the collection, then, is in the writers of the nineteenth century. It follows, with minor variations, the pattern of its predecessors, those of J. C. Chamberlain, Stephen H. Wakeman, W. T. H. Howe (no relation), and Carroll A. Wilson. The influence of Wakeman and Wilson is particularly evident.
Having begun buying books in a small way in 1931, Mr. Howe commenced collecting seriously in the last quarter of 1932. He had recently come into his inheritance, and opportunities for the collector were many. The Wakeman collection had been dispersed, W. T. H. Howe was becoming inactive, Wilson's buying was curtailed as a result of the stock market crash, and Waller Barrett was yet to appear on the scene. Family libraries were still being broken up in Boston's Back Bay. Segments of James Russell Lowell's library, rich, of course, in association copies, were coming on the market. Valuable remnants of the Wakeman collection were still in the hands of dealers like P. K. Foley, C. E. Goodspeed, and Lathrop C. Harper. And with the depressed state of the economy, there was little serious competition among collectors.
In addition to the classic New Englanders — Bryant, Emerson, Hawthorne, O. W. Holmes, Longfellow, Lowell, Thoreau, and Whittier — the Howe collection takes in a baker's dozen more: Henry Adams, Louisa May Alcott, T. B. Aldrich, R. H. Dana, Jr., Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Mary Baker Eddy, Robert Frost, Herman Melville, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and E. A. Robinson. Later on a few more contemporary New England writers, his friend David McCord, and his classmate Conrad Aiken, to name but two, were added.
I have remarked on the extent to which the example of the Wakeman and Wilson collections is reflected in Mr. Howe's library. Three years Howe's senior, Wilson had begun as a collector in 1925 and thus had half a dozen years' start on his younger rival. It was Wilson's nature to cultivate the companionship of like-minded bibliophiles, and in the case of Howe, this developed into friendship, to the extent that in his will Wilson made a bequest: "To my friend Parkman D. Howe … with whom for so many years I have enjoyed friendly competition in the collection of American literature, such five items as … he may select from my Whittier collection. …"
The Howe collection was thus enriched with five pieces of outstanding rarity: the broadside first printing of The Quakers Are Out, The Song of the Vermonters broadside of 1843, the presentation copy of Snowbound in white cloth (only one other in this binding is recorded), The Pennsylvania Hall Address on thick paper, and the copy of Prentice's Life of Henry Clay inscribed by Whittier to his uncle, with evidence of the extent to which he was a collaborator in what was in a sense his first book.
These were, indeed, but frosting on the cake. Perhaps partly because of earlier family associations with Whittier, that Quaker poet was one of Mr. Howe's major enthusiasms, and, even without the Wilson bequest, this collection would have been preeminent. Inscribed copies of Justice and Expediency to his cousin Daniel, and Moll Pitcher to his schoolmate Harriet Minot, are but two sensational examples of the treasures which go to make up the eighty-odd pages in Mr. Howe's Whittier catalogue.
The Holmes collection was also strengthened by acquisitions from the Wilson estate. It had been Wilson's hope that his great collection of the poet-physician might be kept together in the library of Williams College, his alma mater, but the trustees of that institution found themselves unable to comply with the terms laid out in the will, and the collection was sold. From it Mr. Howe was able to add an impressive total of sixty-three items which had previously eluded him. Some of these were unique, and all were of very great rarity. Among them were Holmes's first book, Illustrations of the Athenaeum Gallery of Paintings, the complete file in parts of The Collegian, including the original separate issue of Part IV (there is no other known), the only complete file known of The Amateur, 1830, containing the first printing of fifteen pieces by Holmes; one of two recorded copies of the first issue of the Fourth of July Oration and of the poem for the dedication of the new Boston city library (1888). The other copy of this last is properly entombed in the cornerstone of the Boston Public Library, where, one may assume, it is likely to remain for some time. In all, the Holmes section contains nine pieces which appear to be unique.
In a way the Emerson collection is the most impressive in the library, including as it does both issues of The Letter to the Second Church and Society, marking Emerson's break with organized religion. We have here both forms in which this historic document appeared: the pamphlet (one of six known) and the large broadside printed on satin. And perhaps most important, the little leaflet of Emerson's "Concord Hymn." This last, the first printing of the famous lines "By the rude bridge that arched the flood," was handed out to the crowd gathered for the dedication of the monument at the North Bridge in Concord on the Fourth of July, 1837. Young Henry Thoreau was one of the choir participating in the ceremonies. Robert Frost used to say that this was the finest example of so-called occasional verse in the language, but Emerson's fellow townsmen on hand for the occasion were insufficiently impressed with the hymn to preserve its original printing in any great quantity. Only three other copies are known to survive.
The Emerson collection is especially rich in presentation copies, of which there are sixteen. The Phi Beta Kappa Oration of 1837 and the Divinity College Address of 1838 are inscribed to Elizabeth Hoar, the Poems of 1847 and Society and Solitude to James Russell Lowell, The Conduct of Life, as well as a second copy of the Poems, were gifts to his farmer friend Edmund Hosmer. The Emersons include even the pocket-sized second edition of Whitman's Leaves of Grass flaunting on its spine the famous words "I greet you at the beginning of a great career. R. W. Emerson," surely the most conspicuous blurb in the annals of publishing.
The other author collections are hardly less remarkable. Mention may be made of Henry Adams' Memoirs of Marau Taaroa, 1893 (the only other copies are at Harvard and the Massachusetts Historical Society), with the queen's own ink corrections of the spelling of Tahitian names; Melville's John Marr, 1888, and Timoleon, 1891, each one of twenty-five copies; the first issue of Longfellow's Evangeline in the original boards; and the unique copy of the preliminary issue of the same author's first book, Outre-Mer.
The roster of authors' first books is substantially complete. In addition to those I have mentioned, we have Bryant's Embargo, 1808, published in his fourteenth year; Dana's Two Tears Before the Mast, a presentation copy to the physician under whose prescription the famous voyage was undertaken; and Robinson's Torrent and the Night Before.
The only known copy of Frost's first book, Twilight, is at Charlottesville, but the rest of Frost's first editions are present, together with a very large collection of periodical appearances of his poems. There are many presentation copies, a number of them inscribed by the poet to Mr. Howe himself. The Order of Exercises for the Forty-First Anniversary of the Lawrence High School July 1st, 1892 contains the Class Hymn by Robert Frost. The Howe collection includes the copy of this leaflet preserved for many years by Frost's high school classmate Harriet Carter. When another copy appeared (we know of only five in all) it also was acquired by Mr. Howe, who generously gave it to the Houghton Library at Harvard.
Wary of getting too deep in the collecting of manuscripts, Mr. Howe limited himself to not more than one holograph of each author. Within that limit, however, he was properly choosy, and the library is adorned with such jewels as Hawthorne's Celestial Railroad, Lowell's The Courtin', Holmes's Parson Turell's Legacy ( a bit from the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table), and the commencement part read by Thoreau at Harvard in 1837. This essay, on The Commercial Spirit of Modern Times Considered in Its Influence on the Political, Moral and Literary Character of a Nation, deals with the subject in a predictably negative way. And appropriately enough, the youthful prodigy William Cullen Bryant is represented by a "Poem Composed by a Lad of Twelve Years Old."
Some mention must be made of the collection of Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health, formed to show the evolution of the text of that enormously influential treatise. Its cornerstone is the copy of the first edition of 1875, inscribed by Mrs. Eddy to her son, and it includes twenty-three subsequent editions, three of them inscribed.
By the late forties most of the gaps in the collection were filled and little new material was turning up. Coincidentally, Mr. Howe retired from business at that time, devoting much of the next decade and a half to the service of the Children's Hospital in Boston. His urge to collect, however, continued unabated and he now turned his attention to the New England writers of an earlier era.
His first venture back into the seventeenth century was a singularly happy one, when he bought Anne Bradstreet's Tenth Muse Lately Sprung up in America, or Severall Poems Compiled with Great Variety of Wit and Learning, London, 1650. In acquiring this copy Mr. Howe obtained for his collection at once the earliest collection of secular poetry written in this country and the first published literary efforts of any American woman. It is, possibly, the most important book in his collection.
The previous history of this copy may be worth recounting. Its earliest known owner was Sir Mark Masterman Sykes (1771-1823), whose collection was sold by auction in the year following his death. It was next acquired (probably at the same auction) by William Henry Miller, founder of the Christie-Miller collection at Britwell Court. In March of 1924 the Bradstreet book, with others from Britwell Court, was sold at Sotheby's. The buyer must have returned it (or it may have been bought in), for it reappeared three years later in a sale of "Valuable books unsold or returned as imperfect at the Sales of the Britwell Court Library," where, despite minor imperfections, it is described as "A VERY FINE COPY." It was there bought by Quaritch, acting for Sir Leicester Harms-worth.
After Sir Leicester's death his library in turn was sold at Sotheby's over a term of years. The Tenth Muse duly appeared in the sale rooms on 21 February 1949. It was bought by Henry Stevens for Goodspeed's Book Shop who sold it to Mr. Howe a month later.
A second collection of Mrs. Bradstreet's poems was printed in Boston, in 1678. It contains poems not previously printed, and as a rare product of the colonial press, it is highly prized by collectors. Ernest J. Wessen, a well-known bookseller in Mansfield, Ohio, found a fine copy of it in 1958 and sold it to the Boston bookseller from whom Mr. Howe got it on New Year's Eve.
When he turned to the seventeenth century, Mr. Howe became more of a high spot collector. He commenced by making up a list of what he considered the most significant books of colonial New England and based his collection on it. We must not speak lightly of any collection which includes the two Bradstreets, Mourt's Relation of 1622, a large-paper copy of Mather's Magnalia, with the errata ( the only part of that famous book to be printed in this country), Wood's New Englands Prospect, 1634, Roger Williams's Indian Grammar, 1643, and other great rarities described by Roger Stoddard.
Our collector was a generous patron of booksellers in New York and Boston. One thinks particularly of P. K. Foley in Boston and John Knox and David Randall in New York, to name but three, but he was not dependent on them. Some of his great treasures were secured by direct treaty with private owners. He has told how he pursued Whittier's Sycamores from Nantucket Island to Manhattan to Atlanta, before running it to earth in Seattle. The best of the Henry Adams books came through his membership in the Massachusetts Historical Society. His close relationship through the years with the Harvard Library gave access to rarities by Emerson; and social connections with prominent families in Boston made bits and pieces out of Beacon Street and Commonwealth Avenue attics available to him. The collecting instinct ran deep.
He has said of his father, "I don't know what his first purchase was, but I well remember the last." I can say the same of the son. His last was a presentation copy of Hawthorne's Twice-Told Tales inscribed by the author to Senator Ruel Williams of Maine. The senator was a family connection of Horatio Bridge, Hawthorne's friend and Bowdoin classmate who helped finance publication of the Tales. It was a fitting capstone.
It was fifty years ago that I first met Parkman Howe, and from then on I was intimately involved in the building of his library. As time went on, I became privileged to count him among my friends. He was a genial companion, whose sunny countenance and gentle humor made every visit with him a happy experience. He was one of the most uncomplicated people I have ever known. And over all the years I cannot recall a single instance when there was any trace of difference or misunderstanding between us. I shall always remember him with the deepest affection. They don't make many like him.

Andrew Chapman wrote:οὐ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ οὗτοι Ἰσραήλ· 7) οὐδ' ὅτι εἰσὶν σπέρμα Ἀβραὰμ πάντες τέκνα, ἀλλ'· ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα. [Rom 9.6b-7]What Payne is describing (see his first several examples) is negated parallelism. The fact that it is negated is more or less irrelevant.
Even if οὐδέ were joining equivalent expressions here, as Payne claims, it hardly helps his case. Obviously, if two ideas are the same, then adding one to the other leaves you with just one. This isn't the same type of 'single idea' as he is arguing for in 1 Tim 2.12.
But in this text especially, they are not the same at all. The whole point of the following discussion about the seed of Abraham is that it was only one line that were the inheritors of the promises. Ishmael and Esau were excluded.
Right. And most of the first group ...
"1. οὐδὲ Joins Equivalent Expressions to Convey a Single Idea"
… don't qualify as "Equivalent Expressions". And if they did, it would not prove anything relevant to 1Tim 2:11-12 for the simple reason that the syntax doesn't determine the semantics. This is not rocket science. The structure made up of a sequence of particles OU|OUK|OUDE …. OUDE … ALL' or something similar doesn't tell us anything about the meaning of constituents between the particles.
The way Payne breaks the examples out into four groups reminded me of some classic treatments of biblical parallelism[1]. Paul very frequently falls into a cadence in his rhetoric that imitates the poetic structures of the Hebrew scriptures.
Payne's first sample text (p237)
Rom. 2:28 οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν
οὐδὲ ἡ ἐν τῷ φανερῷ ἐν σαρκὶ περιτομή,
29 ἀλλ᾿ ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος,
καὶ περιτομὴ καρδίας ἐν πνεύματι οὐ γράμματι,
οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ.
The second statement expands on the first statement. It is not strictly equivalent. It is characteristic of Hebrew parallelism that the parallel constituents are rarely strictly equivalent, in as much as that defeats the purpose of parallelism. One certainly could argue that Paul uses parallelism to demonstrate a single complex concept. But that wouldn't help us much with the exegesis of 1Tim 2:12.
1Tim. 2:11 Γυνὴ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ μανθανέτω ἐν πάσῃ ὑποταγῇ·
12 διδάσκειν δὲ γυναικὶ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω
οὐδὲ αὐθεντεῖν ἀνδρός, ἀλλ᾿ εἶναι ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ.
The only thing parallel here is the use of an infinitive. Functionally γυναικὶ is the agent of διδάσκειν where as ἀνδρός is the patient of αὐθεντεῖν. So on semantic functional level this is not a parallel structure. If we understand οὐκ ἐπιτρέπω as assumed but omitted from the second line, this is common in parallelism, then perhaps we could see a somewhat complex sort of parallelism, but the agent-patient semantic roles are not in favor of that analysis.
None of this really matters for Payne's project. It is just an observation that cropped up tangential to the critique of this paper.

A glance at the "E" section of your local bookstore would probably not give the impression that Louise Erdrich is a woman willing to wait.
Since 1984, the year she debuted with not one, but two books, the Minnesota-born novelist has published more than 20 volumes of poetry, prose, fiction and children's literature.
She also raised four daughters and started an independent bookstore in Minneapolis. This spring, however, Erdrich unveiled proof that she has patience—when she must.
The Plague of Doves, her 12th novel for adults, has landed rave reviews. "Her most deeply affecting work yet," wrote New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani.
The book has been with Erdrich since the early '80s, though, whispering to the author while she worked on others.
"I knew this particular incident was going to be part of it," says the 53-year-old, dressed in black jeans and a sweater at a New York City hotel. "I just didn't know how I was going to approach it."
The incident Erdrich refers to was a brutal one. On Nov. 13, 1897, a mob of 40 men broke into a North Dakota jail and lynched three American Indians—two young boys (one of whom was named Paul Holy Track) and a grown man—who were among a group being tried for the murders of six members of a white family.
In The Plague of Doves, Erdrich brilliantly reimagines this event, bringing to life an entire fictional North Dakota community and tracking how the crime filters down through subsequent generations.
The quest for justice is diluted as families involved in the hanging intermarry and mingle. The tribal members keep the story alive through folklore; the whites try to pretend it never happened.
"In the beginning, the whites had all the power," Erdrich says, by way of explaining the difference in how the crime is dealt with, "but as one reviewer put it: The Indians have the history."
Although she is often compared to William Faulkner, whose own fictional Yoknapatawpha County is the closest comparison to the world Erdrich has conjured in North Dakota, her books are not nearly so blood-soaked.
Erdrich says part of this comes from her upbringing. "I lived a very sheltered childhood, a very sweet childhood" she says, referring to the years she grew up as one of seven kids in rural North Dakota.
"It's against my nature to believe how evil people can be—I didn't see cruelty a lot, so I didn't understand it. When it became apparent that the world was different from what I had known as a child, it took me a long time to understand it."
Her father, who is German, and her mother, who is Ojibwe, were both school teachers and encouraged her to memorize poetry.
"I was lucky to have grandparents around, too," Erdrich says—she listened to their stories and asked questions, something she continues to do. "I still feel like I listen more than I tell."
Clearly, it's an inspiration. Like all of Erdrich's novels, from her National Book Critics Circle Award-winning debut Love Medicine, to the recent Four Souls, this book is full of dozens of memorable characters, each of whom Erdrich conjures in just a few deft strokes.
Most of Erdrich's novels take place in a fictional town called Argus on the edge of an Indian reservation. Characters appear and reappear throughout. The Plague of Doves, however, ventures slightly outside this terrain and features an all-new cast.
The voices of the main characters—a recent college graduate, a judge, a grandfather and a doctor—came to her over time, at odd moments, their story in shards.
She works hard at her desk, too, editing, cutting and revising. Her oeuvre is so sprawling, in fact, that she works with just one copy editor, who keeps a masterlist of characters and their timelines.
But for now she is on the road—and patiently waiting for more voices to arrive.

A big step above most "message" movies, "Gimme Shelter" boasts strong performances and a compelling storyline. Unfortunately, it's a secondary storyline. But in that rarest of Hollywood rare beasts — a well-made, pro-life movie with religious themes — that makes it practically a masterpiece.
Vanessa Hudgens nails the part of Agnes (she calls herself Apple, for reasons you eventually discover), an abused, pregnant teen. She's utterly repellent, as many troubled teens are. Raised by a drug-addicted mother and bounced back and forth between foster homes, she runs away and seeks help from her father, a wealthy Wall Street tycoon with a gorgeous foreign wife, a mansion and two young children. For reasons the movie doesn't explain, he's never looked for her or attempted to support her, even anonymously — all she has of him is a letter he wrote to her before she was born.
The bleakness of Apple's life is hard to watch. Unable to care for herself, her only choices are to do what she is told or run away. Unable to trust, she lashes out at everyone. Does she have a future? Can a shelter for young mothers give her one?
The movie answers that question fitfully. It's a great illustration of the difficulties and joys of helping suffering people, of all life having value and of the difference one person can make.
But as a story, it's not entirely successful. After nailing her performance as the despairing, savage teen, Hudgens is not really given a chance to show how Apple transforms into a young woman who may be able to build a life for herself and her baby. She just does. The same goes for the shelter — after establishing that it helps young women, the movie never shows it doing anything helpful. Brendan Fraser is likable and tentative as the father surprised by the arrival of the wounded daughter he's never met and has no idea what to do with, but his role is only half developed. Clunky dialogue in the long speeches and in a pivotal letter stand out against the otherwise gritty script. And James Earl Jones is just a little too "James Earl Jones" to be entirely convincing as the priest who helps Apple find the Catholic shelter.
But what the film does right, it does really right. Rosario Dawson as Apple's abusive, rage-filled mother, June, dominates every scene she's in. Her plea for Apple to come home and live with her, alternately loving and threatening, is terrifying to watch. She was also a teenage mother, she refused to abort her child and her rage about how her life turned out is palpable. When she shows up at the shelter to take Apple, Ann Dowd as real-life shelter foundress Kathy DiFiore is spot-on in her portrayal of how professionals deal with disturbed, violent people. "Gimme Shelter" might be documentary footage at that point. The story line between the two women: will Apple's life turn out like her mother's? What will June do to get her back — or get revenge if she can't — is the most difficult, but best, part of the movie.
It also ends abruptly, as do all the story lines. There's no satisfying "end," no family reconciliation (the final scene points to a possible one in the future), and no hint of how Apple's life turns out. As a story, "Gimme Shelter" doesn't entirely manage to satisfy. But it comes close.
"Gimme Shelter" is a solid film. You don't have to judge it by morality-trumps-quality standards. Pro-life activists, ecstatic to be able to see a decent pro-life movie, are rating it higher than it deserves. Secular critics, finding it unrealistic (though it's based on real people) and finding its low-key depiction of real-life Catholics to be overwhelmingly religious, are showing their prejudice as they pan it. It doesn't deserve their scorn.
Far from propaganda, "Gimme Shelter" doesn't sugar-coat anything: Apple is living proof that simply being born doesn't mean things will turn out all right for any child. Loving her is an act of will, because she's literally unlovable. Her family may be able to make a new life together, but can never fix what started out broken. Holding Apple's baby, her father gives the only explanation he ever does for why he gave her up: "I didn't know," he says softly.
Life is hard, and often people just don't know what they're agreeing to or giving up. Apple doesn't know what she's agreeing to when she has her baby, and we don't know what happens to her. But (in this case, literally) where there's life, there's hope.

New concept, new design.
Theo Wanne's passion for creating great musical products, combined with superior technology, has resulted in an icredibly advanced and innovative saxophone. Theo learned from the very best vintage horns and then applied that knowledge to modern manufacturing technologies. ˜The Mantra' saxophone is the next leap in saxophone evolution, integrating 30 different saxophone innovations.
The new and revolutionary Theo Wanne saxophone is called, ˜The Mantra'. A mantra is: a sound, or group of sounds, that leads the speaker to freedom, and the feeling of freedom and full self-expression is what the Mantra saxophone and its amazing innovations are designed to produce.
Just like with saxophone mouthpieces, Theo Wanne has owned and studied every type of vintage and new saxophone. He has combined the huge and beautiful sound of the vintage horns (such as his favorite Conn Chu and Selmer Mark VI saxophones) with the intonation and playability of modern horns. Theo has then applied innovative thinking and advanced technology to create a superior saxophone.
The saxophone neck is the most crucial part of a horn's sound and soul. Theo has applied revolutionary new concepts to his patent-pending design that have proven to be a quantum leap forward in neck design. His completely redesigned neck tube has nothing soldered to it except at the octave pip, which must be there anyway. It has no keys, guides, or braces soldered to the tube to dampen the neck's resonance. The octave key rides on cartridge ball bearings, and is completely isolated from the neck tube and brace.
The bell-to-body brace is designed to be far stronger than a traditional brace while allowing for previously unheard of vibrational freedom. The new brace also replaces the traditional "pants guard" in protecting the lower stack keys.
The low C and B/Bb key-guard felts are in-line with the key arms, assuring the key-cups stay in flat and in adjustment during use. The entire interior of the horn and neck has a reticulated finish creating a boundary layer of air. The air-stream is more efficient in the same way a dimpled golf ball travels further than a smooth one.
The list of 30 innovations is far more extensive than any other saxophone made today. Just like with his mouthpieces, Theo has successfully married the beauty of the old with the precision of the new.
For a radical approach to saxophone design, order one today.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Through 11 games in the 2009 season, the Yale baseball team has shown a lot of promise at the plate, on the mound and in the field. However, the time for showing potential has passed, and the time for reaching potential has arrived, as the Bulldogs will begin the Ivy League schedule this weekend with doubleheaders at Princeton and Cornell. Yale travels to New Jersey on Saturday for a doubleheader with the Tigers beginning at noon, and then treks to Ithaca on Sunday for a noon twin bill with Big Red. The Elis begin the Ancient Eight season with a record of 4-7.
Sophomore infielders Gant Elmore and Andy Megee lead the Yale offense, which is hitting .303 as a team. Elmore has posted a team-best .421 batting average and has scored a team-high 11 runs from the lead-off or two-hole in the lineup. Megee heads the Bulldogs in hits (18), doubles (5), triples (2), extra-base hits (8), total bases (30) and stolen bases (4). He is batting .367 with one home run, six RBI and 10 runs scored. The sophomore from Los Angeles, Calif., who has started all 11 games at the hot corner for Yale, has also tossed three scoreless innings in a trio of relief appearances on the mound.
A trio of Bulldogs has driven in nearly half of Yale's runs this season. Leading the way is junior Trygg Larsson-Danforth, who has racked up a team-best 10 RBI. The 6'6 first baseman is batting .375, mostly as the clean-up hitter in the Elis' line-up, with a home run and 10 runs scored. Senior center fielder Stefan Schropp has been one of the most consistent Bulldogs at the plate, batting .326 and currently in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak. The Yale captain has driven in nine runs, slugged one home run and swiped three bases.
Perhaps the most surprising power source for the Bulldogs has been freshman Zach Tobolowsky. The 5'9 newcomer leads Yale with four home runs and a team-best slugging percentage of .684. Tobolowsky is batting .316 with nine RBI and six runs scored. He was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week earlier this season after hitting .538 (7-13) with three home runs and five RBI in the first three games of his collegiate career.
On the mound, senior Brandon Josselyn has been the ace of the Yale staff. While two rough starts have inflated his earned run average to 5.91, Josselyn has tossed two gems for the Bulldogs. On March 11 at Davidson, he silenced the Wildcats' offense with a 7.2 inning, five-hit performance to guide the Bulldogs to a 4-2 victory The right-hander struck out seven batters in the victory and walked only one batter. Josselyn was even better in his most recent start, an 8-2 Yale win at Holy Cross. Josselyn tossed a no-hitter through the first six frames, and went on to allow just three hits and two earned runs in his seven innings of work. He struck out four and walked two. Josselyn's most recent appearance was a perfect inning in relief against Connecticut on March 31.
The most efficient pitcher in the Yale bullpen this season has been Eric Shultz. Shultz, the Elis' freshman closer, has registered a 1.12 earned run average in eight appearances, hurling a total of eight innings. Opponents are batting just .111 against Shultz, who has struck out three and allowed just three hits and one earned run. He worked 2.1 innings of hitless relief to notch his first career save on March 9 at Maryland-Baltimore County, and closed out Davidson on March 11 to earn another save. Shultz also posted zeroes on the scoreboard in the ninth inning of Yale's contests with Holy Cross and Connecticut. He is the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week after surrendering one hit and no earned runs in four appearances from March 17-21,
The Princeton Tigers enter league play with a record of 7-6. The Tigers finished last season with an overall record of 20-22 and an 11-9 league mark, placing them second in the Ivy League's Gehrig Division. Yale and Princeton split a doubleheader at Yale Field in 2008.
The Tigers offense is led by Greg Van Horn, who is batting at a clip of .472 with 12 RBI in 36 at-bats this season. Brian Berkowitz has been the most productive Tiger with 14 RBI. Van Horn and Berkowitz have each smacked two home runs.
David Hale has been the ace of the Princeton staff. The junior right-hander is yet to allow an earned run in 13 innings. He has made two starts, including a combined seven-inning shutout at Navy, and one appearance out of the bullpen en route to posting a 1-0 record. Hale has struck out 15 batters, allowed 10 hits and issued five walks. Eight unearned runs have crossed the plate with Hale was on the mound.
The Cornell Big Red, who will host a doubleheader with Brown on Saturday, begin league play at 2-10. Big Red is currently on a 10-game losing skid. Cornell went 12-27 overall in 2008, including a 6-14 Ivy League tally. The Bulldogs swept Cornell in New Haven last season to extend its win streak in the series to three games.
Nathan Ford leads the Big Red offense with a .362 batting average and a team-best eight RBI. Matt Hill has been the squad's most frequent starter, posting a complete-game shutout in his first appearance of the season. Hill is 1-3 with a 5.56 earned run average.
After their quartet of Ivy League contests this weekend, the Bulldogs will begin a nine-game home stand on Tuesday with a non-conference doubleheader against Maine. The twin bill, which will feature a pair of seven-inning games, begins at 3:30 p.m. from historic Yale Field in New Haven.

BOSTON, Mass. - Emerson College rode the strength of six players in double figures to a 91-81 non-conference victory over MIT. The victory gives Emerson a 7-0 record and extends the best start in the history of the program. It also marks only the second time the Lions have defeated the Engineers in 16 meetings.
Senior Ben Chase led the attack with 23 points. Chase was 9-of-10 from the field including two three-point shots and also was a perfect 3-of-3 from the free-throw line. Fellow fourth-year standout Will Dawkins added 15 for the Lions.
Emerson led throughout the game taking the lead on a Dawkins lay-up 18 seconds into the contest. The Lions were able to extend the lead to eight points on a Jeremy Shannon lay-up with 11:55 remaining in the half.
MIT (6-4) battled back to tie the game at 22-22 on a lay-up by Jimmy Bartolotta, but Emerson went on a 15-6 run to extend the lead to nine points. A three-pointer by Daniel McCue closed the gap to six, but two free throws by Jon Showers gave the Lions a 41-33 halftime lead.
Following a lay-up by Bartolotta, MIT cut the lead to six to begin the second half. Emerson responded with a 7-0 run to go up 48-35. MIT crept back to within eight on a lay-up by Will Mroz, but a 9-1 run by the Lions moved the lead to 16.
MIT made one final push, pulling to within nine with 3:35 remaining on a lay-up by Billy Johnson. A traditional three point play by Chase, a lay-up by Dawkins, and two free throws each from senior Joe Boylan and junior Anthony Remias gave Emerson a comfortable 90-74 lead with 1:35 remaining in the game.
MIT out-rebounded Emerson 42-12 in the game but the Engineers committed 29 turnovers and committed 33 personal fouls. Emerson shot a blistering 57.4% from the field for the game, including 5-of-6 from three-point land and 32-of-38 from the foul line.
Bartolotta led all scorers in the contest with 30 points, with Johnson (15), McCue (11) and Mroz (11) also reaching double figures. Johnson had a double-double with 10 rebounds.
In addition to Chase and Dawkins, Boylan had 12, Remias 11, Shannon 12, and Bryan Rouse 11 points. Dawkins also contributed six assists and six steals.
After opening the season with a 5-1 record, the Engineers have lost three of their last four. Despite the loss, Bartolotta set an MIT career record with his ninth 30-point performance.

WORCESTER, Mass. – No. 3 ranked MIT scored 21 of the first 22 points of the second half and held on for a 71-66 road win over WPI in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball action at Harrington Auditorium on Wednesday night. With the win, the Engineers close out a 23-1 regular season, avenging the only blemish on their schedule, and finish the conference slate 11-1. WPI drops to 17-6 and 7-4 in NEWMAC play.
Junior Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) had an outstanding game, posting 20 points and grabbing 12 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the season. Senior Noel Hollingsworth (Salt Lake City, Utah) led all scorers with 21 points and added seven boards. Junior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) scored all 11 of his points in the second half.
Marco Coppola (Watertown, Mass.) was one of four WPI players in double-digits with a team-high 16 points. Matt Carr (Somersworth, N.H.) pitched in 12 points to go along with six blocks.
Trailing 35-31 at the break, MIT came storming out of the locker room, outscoring the host Engineers, 21-1, including 19 straight, over the first seven minutes of the half. A swarming Tech defense forced WPI into four early turnovers, leading to fast-break opportunities. Kates' driving layup gave MIT its first lead since the opening seconds at 38-36 with 16:42 to play. Hollingsworth rattled home a three and knocked down a pair of free throws and Kates found senior Billy Bender (The Woodlands, Texas) in the corner to cap a 19-0 spurt and give Cambridge's Engineers their largest lead of the night.
WPI would fight back with a 12-2 run over the next three minutes to get back within six but Kates converted back-to-back layups to stretch the advantage back into double-figures with eight and a half to play. The lead would stay between 10 and 14 over the next five and half minutes before Bender fouled Coppola on a three-point attempt with 2:55 to go. Coppola sank all three and then found David Brown (Lowell, Mass.) for a corner three on the ensuing possession to cut the deficit to six, the closest the hosts had been since the 14:35 mark of the second.
After Kates' layup was blocked with 48 seconds to play, Jamie Shannon (Lowell, Mass.) drove the length of the floor and cut the gap to four with a traditional three-point play. WPI forced a turnover on the inbounds and Coppola made one-of-two from the line to bring the hosts within three. But Bender would calmly sink a pair of free throws end and Kates denied Shannon at the other end to help preserve the five-point victory.
WPI held the MIT offense in check for much of the first half, limiting the Cardinal and Gray to just 40.0% shooting from the field and 2-of-10 from three-point range. The Tech big men, Tashman and Hollingsworth, kept MIT within striking distance, as each tallied double-figures in the opening stanza.
MIT will be off for 10 days before hosting the NEWMAC tournament semifinals on Saturday, February 25. WPI will host cross-town rival Clark University on Saturday in the regular season finale at 3:00 p.m.

Hugh Grant banned from U.S. TV show
The funnyman and long-time host has revealed the actor was his most unpleasant guest - and he will not be inviting him back.
He made the announcement during an interview with fellow comedian Stephen Colbert at the Montclair Film Festival in New Jersey last week (ends07Dec12), after opening up about his 2009 encounter with Grant, who was booked on the show to promote his film Did You Hear About the Morgans?
Stewart recalled, "He's giving everyone s**t the whole time, and he's a big pain in the a**."
The comedian was particularly upset when the movie star criticised the movie clip Stewart showed as the actor walked out onstage in the studio.
Stewart added, "(He said), 'What is that clip? It's a terrible clip'. Well, then make a better f**king movie."
The comic then told Colbert he would "never" have Grant back on his show.
Hearing he'd been banned from The Daily Show, Grant attempted to make amends via Twitter.com, writing, "Turns out my inner crab got the better of me with TV producer in 09. Unforgivable. J Stewart correct to give me kicking."

Victoria (Seychelles)
Earth : Africa : East Africa : Seychelles : Mahé : Victoria (Seychelles)
Victoria is the capital of the Seychelles islands, located on the island of Mahe.
Victoria is one of the smallest capital cities in the world and the only major port in the Seychelles. Its courthouse and post office in the center of town have been virtually unchanged since colonial times.
Get in
By Air
The airport in the city is Seychelles International Airport. This is the hub for Air Seychelles. Air Seychelles flies to Bangkok, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Rome, Milan and Port Louis via Boeing 767 aircraft. International service is also available from Nairobi (Kenya Airways), Dubai (Emirates), and Doha (Qatar Airways), London (British Airways), Paris (Air France) and regular charter services from Frankfurt (Condor) and Amsterdam (Martinair).
Get around
These buses cater to the locals and are fairly cheap. Buses are sometimes irregular and may come to a stop less often than in other cities, so don't be surprised to wait for a while.
The taxis are metered and will often offer to be your tour guide around the Island. Negotiate a price beforehand.
The most popular alternative among locals. Bikes can be rented for cheap at some shops in the city.
Attractions in the city include a clocktower modelled on that of Vauxhall Clock Tower in London, England, the Courthouse, the Victoria Botanical Gardens, the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market. The city is also home to the national stadium and a polytechnic institute, while the inner harbour lies immediately east of the town, around which tuna fishing and canning form a major local industry. One of the largest bridges in Victoria was destroyed in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
Coconuts and coconut products are very abundant in Victoria and sell for fairly cheap.
La Perle Noir (The Black Pearl ) in Beau Vallon. Fancier place and a bit pricier.

Zucchini provides options for the kitchen.
Summer is coming to an end, but the garden harvest continues. One of my favorite vegetables has been abundant lately and I enjoy preparing many dishes I learned from my mother. The stach of zuchinni a friend recently gave me is rich in vitamin A, low in calories and simple to cook.
For a quick side dish, I slice and steam the zuchinni then add butter and brown sugar before serving. The other common recipe for zuchunni in my kitchen is zuchinni bread, a moist heathly option for breakfast or an afternoon snack. The quick bread is easy to assemble and bakes within an hour. I also substitute a portion of whole wheat flour for the white flour to add another level of nutrition.
But what are some other ways to use zuchunni? Get creative with a grilled vegetable stack served over couscous. You can include slices of zuchinni, yellow squash, eggplant and red onion. Lightly brush each vegetable with olive oil and grill seperately. Alternate the vegetables when stacking and considering adding layers mozzerella or basil - a delicious dish with beautiful presentation.
For a creative appetizer, thinly slice zucchini lengthwise and brush lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle lwith salt and black pepper the grill until marked on both sides and tender, about 1 minute per side. Remove the zuchinni from the grill and cool. Spread each slice with pesto, roll up the slice and secure with a toothpick.
For a great pasta dish combine farfalle pasta with julienned zuchinni sauteed in olive oil with red pepper, cannellini beans and garlic. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese. This dish is low in cholestoral and can be eaten warm or cold.
