Swarming to Schwärmerei?
Today's Merriam-Webster word of the day was an obvioius German word (Schwärmerei "excessive or unwholesome sentiment") which it identifies as a "naturalized citizen of our language". Here is their explanation:
In 1845, the editors of the Edinburgh Review felt compelled to use the German "Schwärmerei" to describe fanatical enthusiasm because the concept seemed so foreign to them. In commenting on the writings of German critic and dramatist Gotthold Lessing, they declared "Schwärmerei" to be "untranslatable, because the thing itself is un-English." That German word derives from the verb "schwärmen," which means not only "to be enthusiastic" but "to swarm" (it was used to refer to bees), and its ancestors were part of Old High German. Ironically, the Edinburgh Review's use (the first ever documented in an English publication) seems to have contributed to making the word much more English, and it has since become a naturalized citizen of our language.
If you search the online dictionaries, schwarmerei turns up in two: Merriam-Webster's and The Worthless Word of the Day. How is that for an odd couple? The OED provides 11 citations, all from British sources, so if it is true that the word has been naturalized, it was naturalized in England, not in North America.
Now, I have already said my piece on using foreign words in an English-language spelling bee. Since Merriam-Webster is the major supporter of that event, their acceptance of Schwärmerei as an English word should come as no surprise. I once commented that Merriam-Webster not only accepts any word it meets in print as a member of the English vocabulary, it sweeps the gutters for neologisms. This is almost understandable since announcing its acceptance of new words, such as its premature announcement about googling recently is one of their primary marketing techniques.
I am often asked the questions, "How many words are there in English?" and "Is it true that there are more words in English than any other language?" Well, if we include all the words in all the languages of the world, I would have to say, "Yes." It is true that, as one wag put it, "English not only borrows words from other languages, it mugs other languages in dark alleys for their lexical treasure." So the slope is slippery for all of us. But I think there are a few reasonable tests for whether a word is English or not.
First, shouldn't a substantial number of native speakers of English who do not know the lending language be acquainted with the word? If the winner of the Scripps-Howard spelling bee was lucky enough to study in a school that offers German, and if she were lucky enough to have taken it, wouldn't it be unfair to allow her to win on the basis of her ability to spell a German word? Should this not be a word known at least by a majority of scholars or writers in a society?
Second, shouldn't there be some need of the word borrowed? Schwärmen obviously does not mean "to be enthusiastic" and, oh, by the way, "to swarm," too. It obviously means "to swarm". English already has a word meaning "to swarm" and we all know what it is. The difference is that the German word is used differently metaphorically. The English metaphor is "to move excited as a crowd" while the German metaphor is "fanatical enthusiasm for". So what is wrong with fanatical enthusiasm?
Oh, ho, I see. Fanatical enthusiasm doesn't quite mean the same thing as Schwärmerei? Maybe not, but then no one who is not nearly a native speaker of German (non-natives are very slow at picking up metaphorical usage) knows what that difference is!
So where do you draw the line between English and all the other languages in the world? We all know what doppelganger is even though it is a perfect synonym of a double. Ursprache, the German word for protolanguage, has now been ordained by the fire of competition. Should we grant citizenship to schwarmerei? Let's wait until at least one American uses it.

Nicola Morgan, the Crabbit Old Bat, is an award-winning author of around 90 books across many genres. For the last few years, she has given crabbitly honest advice to determined writers, here and in her books, WRITE TO BE PUBLISHED, WRITE A GREAT SYNOPSIS, DEAR AGENT and TWEET RIGHT.
Saturday, 24 April 2010
First mistake: it began, "We write on behalf of our client..." NO! Avoid outfits that claim to offer your MS to a whole raft of agents and publishers together. Knowledgeable agents want to hear from YOU, not some cowboy crew who think they know about publishing. Your approach must be personal and tailored if you want proper publication with a real publisher and a great service from a genuine agent. The exception is if the agent already knows and respects the opinion of the sender of the letter, but they will attach no importance at all to the recommendation of strangers.
Second mistake: the website of the outfit sending the letter had basic errors. (Not that the agent got as far as looking, but I did.) Dodgy punctuation, dull writing, no evidence of real knowledge or passion, and a claim to use a "published author!" - their exclamation mark, as though finding a published author to help them was such a big deal. If the person making the recommendation writes such dull English and fails to understand how publishing works, why should the agent trust the opinion of said person?
Third mistake: before describing the MS, the organisation offered boring and irrelevant info about its "client's" background. When offering a novel, background is irrelevant unless it happens to be relevant. If the people in this outfit don't know that, they don't know anything.
Listen at the back, please. Stop fiddling and pay attention. If you're a writer and you have a publishable book, do not demean yourself by getting someone to present your book to an agent on your behalf. By all means quote a genuine endorsement if you have one that means something, but don't use a third party that the agent hasn't heard of. Using a third party may seem professional to a novice, but it isn't. It's just not how publishing works. Publishing works very simply: professionals (agent and / or editor) love your book, believe it can sell and know how they would sell it; said professionals sign you up, buy the rights (well, the publishers do) - and buy means PAY FOR - and put their company's money into marketing, distributing and selling your book, passing on a % to you twice a year. You do not need any other middle people. Yes, you can have other people helping by giving feedback, either informally or formally, but once your book is ready to send out, you must do this yourself if you want to gain respect.
Sometimes writing consultancies do offer to present your book, if they feel it's good enough, to agents or publishers with whom they have contacts. Sometimes this is OK, but only if the consultancy is a quality outfit with genuine connections.Unfortunately, too many are not, and some are now getting themselves a bad name for giving over-glowing reports on dud MSS.
My consultancy (Pen2Publication) does NOT offer to submit your work to agents or publishers for you. However, if I came across an MS which I felt was ready and suited to an agent or publisher of my acquaintance, I might create an opening and / or endorsement, but that would be all. I don't advertise that fact because it's rarely going to be the case and I don't want to raise hopes. Also, I know very well that most agents worth their salt want to be approached directly by the writer and if the work is good enough my opinion won't be needed. I certainly would never make the approach for a writer and I would not recommend any writer to use that method.
You're a writer: write your own letters. Get genned up on publishing and do your research. Write the best book you can and stand up for it yourself. Getting someone else to submit your work is NOT the best way to impress an agent or publisher. Trust me.

Very sensible advice and it's nice to have it all laid out in one post. Thank you.

I hope I don't sound hugely arrogant when I say I simply wouldn't trust anyone else to write my query letter for me!
(Which is an entirely different thing from being willing to accept advice on its content and format, which I have been and am.)
Apart from anything else, there is a learning process involved and you can't improve if you don't try! Or something like that!

Thank you very much for such a useful and important post!
The other day I stumbled into one of these "outfits" while doing some research on the Net. For three dollars, they offer to write a query for you and send it to the likes of Penguin, Simon & Schuster, etc (never mind they don't accept unsolicited queries). And if you subscribed to their regular services, they offered - as a special bonus, obviously - to send your query out BY EMAIL.
Is there a smiley for "speechless"?

- Harry Markov said...
Oh, boy. So you get representation to get represented in front of the agent, who is supposed to represent you in front of publishers...
People do this? Especially, when they know how long it takes.
@ Cat: I am with you on the trust issue. With so much plagiarism on the prowl, I fear that the third party will steal my work and legally prove it's theirs and not mine. *shudders*

Sounds like yet another scam targeting writers. Do we LOOK like we're made of money? Why are all these ideas/people/companies/et.al coming up with new ways to fleece us?
- 24 April 2010 at 12:09
Great advice. I can see how tempting it would be to have a third party...until you know better, it could feel "professional." This entry will greatly benefit those still new to this whole (hell of a) game, I think.

Many writers are looking for that in, but we have to accept that it's got to be us doing the hard work every step of the way to get there.

Excellent advice; you've hit the nail on the head there, Nicola; thank you.

I agree strongly with Cat.
Crafting a query letter and putting the package together cannot be entrusted to anybody else.
I found it a labour of love and quite exciting in a way; it represented the end of the creative production phase and the beginning of the marketing one.
It allowed me to step back and review my whole work and to see it from the POV of other professionals in the publishing chain.
No, as a writer, as a creator, you miss out if you hand this stage over to a stranger...

Thanks so much for posting this - but the pessimist in me thinks even with such sage advice, far too many people will still use these services.
I guess people hear reports about how impossible it is to get an agent/publisher etc and so they think they need an 'in'.
For the record, I approached an agent under my own steam and they took me on. That's how it works.
You don't need to 'know somebody' or have any glowing testimonials. Let your query letter, synopsis and novel do the talking.
Thanks for another great post Nicola.

maybe this smiley for speechless (and chin hitting desk)

Great advice - great post. As always!
- 25 April 2010 at 20:22
This is great advice and I'll go further: write your own curriculum vitae too (resumé for our friends across the pond). I've had recent experiences of employment agencies utterly mangling my CV, supposedly in order to satisfy their house style. This included the introduction of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
If you want a job done properly...
- 26 April 2010 at 11:19
- Marisa Birns said...
This is very good advice, though I wish it wasn't needed. Feel so terrible for those writers who do not take the time to research and learn.
Especially since the internet has made it easily possible to find knowledgeable people who generously share the proper information.
- 28 April 2010 at 16:49
- Jayde Scott said...
I can only hope writers put in the time to present their own work rather than wait for others to do it for them. It's just pretencious and lazy. It doesn't take a PR expert to write a great query letter. Just a bit of imagination and the willingness to revise it depending on an agent's needs and wants. Great post.

The career of NSW and Canberra star Blake Ferguson is hanging in the balance following the NRL's decision to suspended the utility back's registration after police charged him with indecent assault.
Ferguson was charged by police on Monday night following an incident at a bar 24 hours earlier in Sydney's south.
The 23-year-old was granted conditional bail to appear at Waverley Local Court on July 16 - the day before game three of this year's State of Origin series.
The NRL acted swiftly to the news by immediately suspending his registration for repeated behavioural issues involving the abuse of alcohol.
Ferguson was on his final warning at the Raiders after missing a recovery session in round one of this season to go drinking with teammate Josh Dugan on the fullback's rooftop in what was a long line of off-field indiscretions.
Dugan was subsequently sacked over the incident with Ferguson fined $10,000, suspended by the club for one game and ordered to undergo counselling.
The pair were reunited once again on Sunday evening in the 2230 Bar and Restaurant in Cronulla just hours after being named in the NSW side to face Queensland in Brisbane in Game two on June 26.
Dugan, who now plays for St George Illawarra, was not involved in the incident that led to Ferguson being charged, but his close friend is almost certain to face a similar fate from the Canberra board.
Should he be shown the door, he will become the third high-profile Raider to be sacked after Dugan and Todd Carney.
Carney's registration was also suspended by the NRL in 2009 and he spent a year playing park footy in north Queensland before playing for the Sydney Roosters - where he was also sacked - then joining Cronulla.
Ferguson endured a well-documented difficult upbringing before being taken in by his grandmother who helped put him on the path to NRL success first with Cronulla and then the Raiders.
However, NRL chief executive Dave Smith insisted there could be no excuse for Ferguson's actions.
"It sends a very clear message that these sorts of behaviours are not going to be tolerated," Smith said at Suncorp Stadium on Monday after the NRL clash between Wests Tigers and Brisbane.
"We have worked with the Raiders, the NSWRL and that's the decision that has been reached," Smith said.
"We have seen the report so we are confident that we understand what went on.
"We've still got some work to do to get to the bottom of that.
"We will continue to do that with the Raiders tomorrow and the integrity unit and continue to make the right decisions but it's a clear message that it is not acceptable."
The news is a huge blow to NSW coach Laurie Daley who has already lost prop James Tamou due to off-field issues after he was arrested for high-range drink-driving.
The Blues coach will name a replacement on Tuesday morning with South Sydney veteran Nathan Merritt or Newcastle's Akuila Uate widely tipped to be Ferguson's replacement.
Smith said suspending Ferguson wasn't a knee-jerk reaction and was keen to make a ruling as soon as possible.
He also said a decision will not yet be made on any possible return date for the 23-year-old.
"It's important with Origin on the horizon, we didn't want to delay (action)," Smith said.
"It isn't a knee jerk, we have the work, we have spoken to the right people, there's been lots of people involved in reviewing the report.
"There's a bit of work to do to understand exactly what the minimum suspension period will be."

A group of Mississippi and Iowa veterans who defied a government shutdown and entered the closed World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. drew heavy media coverage Tuesday, a symbol of patriotism and bipartisan frustration.
A group of Mississippi and Iowa veterans who defied a government shutdown and entered the closed World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. drew heavy media coverage Tuesday, a symbol of patriotism and bipartisan frustration.
On the opposite side of the memorial Wednesday, television cameras caught Hendersonville businessman Jeff Miller removing police tape and moving barricades to allow three more groups of veterans into the memorial.
Miller had flown to Washington on Wednesday to help intervene on behalf of veterans flying in to visit the memorial with the Honor Flight Network, a group he co-founded with Ohio pilot Earl Morse.
"We were worried that since the things on Tuesday happened, somebody would make it a little bit more firm barricade and stop our veterans from entering," said Miller, adding that leaders with Honor Flight Chicago urged him to fly to Washington.
Miller said removing the barricade to allow veterans access was something he'll remember the rest of his life. But another image will also stick with him, he said.
"I looked over and saw one gentleman looking into the memorial through the bars in the barricade, and he was in a wheelchair," Miller said. "It was awful. He had planned the trip with his family six months ago, and then the shutdown happened."
Miller helped the man in, along with about 220 to 250 fellow veterans from Michigan, Missouri and Chicago who had flown into D.C. with the Honor Flight Network or arrived at the memorial independently.
Once inside the memorial, Miller said he was approached by Robert Vogel, superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks for the National Park Service. Vogel told him they'd worked something out with Park Service attorneys that would allow Honor Flight veterans to stay.
"He said we had to petition the Park Service that we wanted to exercise our First Amendment rights to assemble and the reason we wanted to assemble, what we came up with, was to discuss the closure of the World War II Memorial," Miller said.
That didn't mean the veterans had to circle around and talk about the closure, Miller said, but it gave the Park Service enough legal cover to allow Honor Flight groups to enter the closed memorial.
"To their credit, they came up with it," Miller said. "They couldn't write it themselves, but they helped me and told me when I got it right for the purpose we intended."
The National Park Service's official position is that the memorial remains closed, but the agency released a statement Thursday saying Honor Flight members will not be barred from the site.
"The Honor Flights are being granted access to the World War II memorial to conduct First Amendment activities in according with the National Park Service regulations applicable to the National Mall and Memorial Parks," said NPS Spokeswoman Carol Johnson. "This is consistent with the DOI Closure Determination and Notice issued on Oct. 1, 2013."
Miller praised the Park Service, park police and officials on the National Mall for looking the other way when he initially led veterans past barricades and police tape at the memorial's Pacific Theater entrance.
"I've got to tell you, those guys, the last thing they wanted to do was arrest a veteran," Miller said. "They kind of got forced into this situation. They were extremely helpful. They gave me the laws and when I politely broke them, they showed a lot of compassion and let us go in."
As rewarding as it was to remove barricades for veterans, Miller said he felt even better knowing he'd helped broker a deal to allow Honor Flight groups to continue visiting their memorial, regardless of what happens with the government shutdown in coming weeks.
About 4,000 vets are scheduled to tour the site between now and the end of flying season, he said, which usually occurs in November.
Since many of the sites Honor Flight vets usually tour are closed due to the shutdown, Miller helped arrange for them to visit the privately-run Newseum, an interactive museum of journalism on Pennsylvania Avenue.
"It's five floors, air-conditioned, with a lot of bathrooms, which is always good," Miller said. "They gave everybody in our group half price and they had a great time."

Inheritance Tax principally is tax paid as a result of your death on all your estate: house, savings, car, antiques, household items, life policies, cash lump sums, inheritance from parents etc. The first £325,000 is tax-free. Everything over £325,000 is taxed at a rate of 40%.
So, on a total estate of say £400,000, there would be a tax bill to be paid of over £30,000 . This is money that you will not be able to leave to anyone except the taxman! What could your children do with this?.
The very bottom line is whether you would rather give your hard earned money to the taxman or to your children/grandchildren.Let your local estate planner in Bishops-Stortford help you mitigate against Inheritance tax if at all possible.
What is a Trust?
A Trust is a legal arrangement (also known as a "Settlement") that enables you to give away assets but restrict or direct how and when they are used. Trusts can be used to make gifts in your lifetime and they can also be set up under the terms of a Will.
Who are the three main participants?
•The settlor:this is the person who created the trust and normally gives away the assets that are placed in the trust•The beneficiary:this is the person who is to receive the assets or benefit from them. A beneficiary can also be a trustee and/or the settlor.•The trustee:this is the person(s) who looks after the assets ensuring they are invested/used in accordance with the rules of the trust and general trust laws.
There are two types of Power of Attorney; General and Lasting.
•General Power of Attorney:
This is where someone is given legal authority to act on your behalf in financial matters in your best interests e.g. when you are out of the country. It becomes invalid when you lose mental capacity to manage your own affairs. It also stops on your death.
•Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA):
This is a Power of Attorney which continues after you might become mentally or physically incapable of handling your own affairs. It protects people who may not be able to make some decisions for themselves e.g. those with dementia, learning difficulties, mental health problems, stroke, head injuries, accident or illness.
As part of our will writing service in Bishops-Stortford our estate planners can create your power of attorney either to look after your personal financial or welfare affairs.

Our Double-Strength SAMe 400 contains 400 mg of active SAMe in each tablet. Doctor's Best utilizes only the highest quality Italian SAMe available on the market. This ensures that you receive the most potent SAMe product with the highest percentage of the active S,S form per serving, bar none.
S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe) is derived from the amino acid methionine and is one of the most important methyl donors in the central nervous system. Methylation (donation of methyl groups) is an essential process in ensuring the proper function of a number of organ systems. SAMe is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in tissue including the liver, joints and brain. SAMe is also required for the biosynthesis of critical neurotransmitters and hormones.
Supplementing with SAMe
The manufacturing process of SAMe yields two forms, the S,S and the R,S isomers. The S,S isomer is the active form that mediates biochemical activity in the human body, whereas the R,S form is considered to be biologically inactive. The Italian SAMe used in Double-Strength SAMe 400 is processed to yield the highest available percentage of the active pure S,S form on the market.
SAMe and Joint Function
SAMe may enhance cartilage protection and promote the synthesis of proteoglycans, essential components of connective tissue. Clinical studies show an ability of SAMe to enhance mobility and movement, and promote joint comfort.*
SAMe and Neural Health
SAMe-catalyzed methylation reactions promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters, which have the potential to promote enhanced mood. SAMe may also upregulate the production of phosphatidylcholine, supporting cognitive function.*
SAMe and Liver Function
SAMe enhances liver synthesis of glutathione, an antioxidant. Glutathione promotes detoxification and liver protection. Studies show SAMe may protect liver tissue from injury caused by a number of toxins.*

Cereal maker Post Holdings (NYSE:POST) agreed on Monday to buy Nestle's PowerBar and Musashi brands, continuing to widen its portfolio of nutrition products.
Continue Reading Below
Terms of the transaction, which is expected to close in the third quarter ending in June, weren't disclosed. However, the companies expect to provide those details in the coming days.
Post has been making acquisitions to expand its nutritional offerings. In December, the St. Louis-based company reached separate deals to buy peanut-butter maker Golden Boy Foods and Dymatize Enterprises, which makes protein powders and bars, for a combined $700 million. Post also purchased Premier Nutrition in September.
Those acquisitions were added to the company's active nutrition group that generates projected annual revenue of $550 million.
Post boosted sales through acquisitions but swung to a loss in the fourth quarter, as weaker margins and costs related to a plant closure pressured results.
Meanwhile, Nestle has been shedding low-performing businesses, including weight-loss company Jenny Craig.
Shares jumped 2.5% to $54.88 in pre-market trading.

.45 Caliber (.458) (.45-70) 300 gr. HP/FN
Sierra offers a single flatnose bullet in this 45 caliber specifically for the 45-70 bore size. It may be used in rifles or handguns with a .458 inch bore, but it must not be used in handguns with .451 or .454 inch bore size.
Sierra introduced this bullet in 1973 - the 100th year of the 45-70 cartridge. Now, decades later, this old cartridge is still growing in popularity and justifiably so. Adequate for any game in North America and offered in several modern firearms, this old cartridge is just plain fun. The bullet is unique in that it expands well at modest 1873 Springfield velocities or at the more powerful full charge velocities that can be loaded in stronger action types, such as the Ruger No. 1 and No. 3 and Marlin lever actions. Accuracy is excellent, and it feeds reliably through all types of magazines and actions. It can be used in the 458 Winchester Magnum cartridge, but muzzle velocities should not exceed 2500 fps.
For handguns, this bullet was designed to expand reliably even at 1300 fps. It is a perfect match for the T/C Contenders and similar handguns chambered for the 45-70 cartridge. Dependable expansion and excellent accuracy make this Pro-Hunter bullet a good choice for most hunting situations.

Monday meditation for women
May 18, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 6:30pm on Monday, repeating indefinitely
We begin at 6:30 PM with two rounds of 25 minute meditations, with walking meditation in between, followed by tea and sharing from the heart. We officially end at 8:30PM.
Feel free to inquire about openings for this group (maximum 10 participants). No experience is needed. To support the Refuge you are encouraged to donate a $5 each time you come, or $20 per month.
Jo leads most Mondays. Send Jo a note via the contact page if you would like to join as a guest.
About once a month meditation is followed by 30 minutes of Being Danced for those who want to stay.
*Being Danced explores the ebb and flow, the strain of trying to make things happen and the release, the bliss, of surrender. By allowing the emotional and physical landscapes to emerge and transform in movement, we naturally return to wholeness, freedom of movement, and connectedness. We notice how life naturally carries us and gives us what we want.
Creating 30 minute music playlists, Jo holds a safe and nurturing container for women to explore the integration of meditation, movement, and life.

The Philadelphia media, punchy from a protracted coaching search, was joking yesterday about tracking the Gus bus, in reference to Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley's inbound flight.
Well, the bus is rolling south today, as Bradley has more interviews planned. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Bradley is heading to Jacksonville to interview with the Jaguars.
His trip to see the Eagles was a second interview, and some thought it would result in a deal. But unless that deal is "95 percent" finished, the door is still open.
The Jags have reportedly talked to defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and Rams OC Brian Schottenheimer already, but are widely believed to be waiting to sit with 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, a college teammate of new GM David Caldwell.

LunaFest benefits health agencies
The 11th Annual LUNAFEST, held Friday at the Brossman Center, was an evening of beautiful surroundings; fine food; artful, sensitive films; and socializing with a community of people gathered to support the Breast Cancer Foundation and St. Catherine Labouré Medical Clinic in Germantown, a clinic that provides primary medical care to the uninsured within our communities regardless of ability to pay the small fee.
"Thank you" hardly seems adequate to express St. Catherine's appreciation to the Chestnut Hill Hospital, Chestnut Hill Women's Center and Weavers Way Co-op for partnering to bring this event to the area and for designating St. Catherine Labouré Medical Clinic as a recipient of proceeds from the benefit.
We extend our thanks also to community partners The Brossman Center, Brewery Outlet, Edwin Slogoff and in-kind donations for their generous contributions to the event.
The opportunity to work with Joanne Rosenbaum, administrative director, Chestnut Hill Women's Center; Anne Workman, outreach coordinator, Weavers Way; Cathy Brzozowski, marketing director, Chestnut Hill Health System; Kevin Boyle; and the many volunteers, was a special privilege. Watching the work, dedication and heart that each of these folks invested in creating an amazingly successful event, speaks volumes not only about the individuals involved but also of the spirit and caring that exists within our Northwest communities.
St. Catherine's averages 3,500 patient visits each year. Everything from diagnostic examinations to pharmaceuticals are provided at the clinic site. On behalf of each of our patients, we say thank you to each of our benefactors and to all who attended the event in support of St. Catherine Labouré Medical Clinic and the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Thanks Jim
I can't begin to tell you how Jim Harris' recent article "Hoping War between Hill and Mt. Airy can be ended" in the March 1 edition of the Local amused me. On a dreary, rain-drenched Wednesday afternoon, I read the article and actually laughed out loud several times. Never was I affected by an article like this. Thanks, Jim, for the merriment, and keep up the good writing!

Thanks for scout story
I just wanted to thank the Local for the wonderful story on Ann Perone and her commitment to the Boy Scouts. As an Eagle Scout, I appreciate the value the scouting experience brings to one's upbringing. And to promote scouting in the inner city is an even more important calling. It is a shame that so many have focused on some of the misdirected policies of the national scouting organization and have blamed local scouts. For whatever out of step guidelines the scouts may have, they pale in comparison to the good that is done by these programs. Congratulations to Ms. Perone for keeping her eye on the ball and helping these young men. She sets an example for all of us in giving something back to help these young boys.

CH Meals onWheels is simply sensational
A good friend of mine, formerly of Flourtown, moved in with a girlfriend in Hatboro and lived there from June, 2010, until December, 2011. She had not planned to stay there that long, but colon cancer got in the way of her original plans. After she came back from surgery, she could no longer cook for herself, so she ordered Meals on Wheels. The people in Hatboro are nice. They are very cooperative, but the food was only fair to middling, or mediocre at best. And the quantity that she received wasn't that great either.
In late December, my friend moved to an apartment on Willow Grove Avenue in Wyndmoor and started getting food from Meals on Wheels in Chestnut Hill. The difference is amazing. The CH Meals on Wheels price is $7 per day, for which you get 3 meals. A package of oatmeal for breakfast, a sandwich and salad for lunch, and a very good pre-cooked dinner. The food is not fair to middling. It is damn good.
They give you two containers of juice, a container of milk, a snack (like peanut butter crackers), a home-baked cookie or piece of cake, and a home-made cup of soup which is as good as the soup you get at almost any restaurant in town for triple the price. In addition to food, they also deliver a copy of the Chestnut Hill Local and Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day cards, etc., which are hand-drawn by little children.
CH Meals on Wheels is simply sensational, and I'm sure they can use some good publicity in the local paper to raise extra funds and get some extra help and maybe a few more customers.

Good service at J.L. Murray & Co.
Just a little note of appreciation: I would like to mention a positive experience I had at J.L. Murray & Co., 8632 Germantown Ave., recently.
I needed several pairs of glasses, and they graciously readjusted them at no cost to me, even though I am an "irregular" customer.
I thought it was very nice of them to do this service at no cost to me.

Intel Core 2 Quad?!
So I was shopping around looking to see what features I want in my next computer and I came across this.
here is the computer I was looking at
and here is the chip on newegg
is anyone using this monster? I'm a big AMD fan, and I the AMD computer I was planning to buy is about 860$ and was like a 5600+ dual core. does the performance of this intel processor justify the over $1000 price?

I don't think you'd find much of a performance increase, if indeed any at all. While I'm no expert in this, I don't believe many apps yet take advantage of the multi-core architecture. (People with information to the contrarary, please link!) If you're running a program that was coded for a single CPU, it's still sadly only going to use one core on your nice, shiny 4-core.
2005-ish article: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000285.html

I'll keep walking.
In fact, a lot of programs seem to be still having trouble with the Multi-core platforms. I still need to manually set my Azureus' affinity to either core one or two so it won't close on me.
And, well, to be frank, I really don't think that having two more cores would really matter for now, unless Vista has some new features that make use of multiple cores more efficiently than XP - since I'm not a Vista expert, I really can't tell. But like Garet said above, as time goes on, more and more programs are gonna start using multiple cores to reduce the required throttle from just one or two.
So, if you plan on keeping that computer for a while, then I'd really think about the Quad-Core. If you're the type that changes specs every one to two years, then you might not need it that much.
And wow, an Intel Quad-Core for $300... I guess the new 1333FSB chips really lowered the price for their older chips.

AMD really starts to lose to Intel after the $150 price rage. The 5600+ gets crushed by the E6550. Don't forget that the E6550 will OC far more than the 5600+.
Getting a Quad core right now really depends on how long you would like to keep your computer and what you work on. If you're constantly encoding, get a Quad core. It kicks ass in those applications. If you're just gaming, go get a 6X50 chip. The 1333 FSB does help a bit.
Don't bother waiting for AMD's quad core offering this year. It's pretty much public that the Phenom will have supply problems at its release. Therefore, you'll be paying a pretty hefty premium.
I'm suprised that the mark up on those Quad cores are still so high. Intel seems them for only $266 dollars in 1000 units to retailers.

Yeah, AMD's been going on about Intel's quad core not being a "true" quad-core processor. I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but anyway...
It's been mentioned many times before...your performance increase is going to depend on whether said program has been optimised for quad-core. If you're spending heaps of time on multimedia (PS, Premiere, etc) then quad-core will be a huge boon. These multimedia programs have already been designed with multi-core in mind.

the dual socket L can is said to support the new quad-core chip from AMD when it's released meaning that all someone would have to do is swap out the current chips and put the new ones in for a total of 8 cores. All that's need is I think a bios upgrade

I believe I've heard of applications that let users control what cores to run which processes. Has anybody used/heard of such?
I'm quite sure that new products are coming out with multi-core processes...it's just that using a multi-core CPU right now is a little bit ahead of the times.

Yeah, Windows' own Task Manager can be used to set process affinity; i.e. to say which program runs on which core.
I don't think I'm in much need of multi-core right now, simply because I don't use my computer enough for it to be worthwhile.

Crysis looks like the only thing that will kill dual core's. But for non gamers I don't think its absolutely necessary, it still doesn't have the bang for buck ration that x2's in the budget range have and c2d e4xxxx's and up have in the midrange.

So before you start laughing, consider this. Look at what the benches say for FEAR and Oblivion, now think about how much more improved the gfx is for Crysis. Now look again at the benchmarks for the 8800gts for FEAR and Oblivion with all the options on, what do you think will happen with Crysis? also additionally you're pretty much locked into getting that white elephant of an o/s Vista in order to take full advantage of dx10.

Crash near Kirksville Regional Airport on Tuesday night killed two people.
A business trip ended in tragedy for the president of a geosynthetic materials company and a flight instructor when a single-engine plane crashed north of the Kirksville Regional Airport on Tuesday evening.
The crash of the Piper 32-A Saratoga single-engine plane sometime after 7:15 p.m. killed Robert Groh, 64, and James Quinn, 66. The flight originated in Denver and was on its return to Wisconsin.
No cause of the crash has been identified by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Groh was the president and owner of Geo-Synthetics LLC of Waukesha, Wis. In a statement released to the Waukesha Freeman newspaper on Wednesday afternoon, the company said Groh was traveling on business and was flying back after meeting with a customer.
The company was founded in 1971 by Groh's father, Robert M. Groh. Its website describes the company as a leader in geosynthetic material production and installation and touts such projects as construction of whitewater rapid recirculating rivers in Charlotte, N.C.
"Bob is remembered as man passionate about his business with a big heart for family, friends and employees," the company's statement read. "He embraced challenging situations, reveling in resolving any problem. He will be missed dearly by all that have had to the pleasure to have known him."
The Waukesha Freeman spoke to a woman at Quinn's home who said she didn't have enough information to comment and asked the family's privacy be respected.
Quinn was a senior flight instructor at Wisconsin Aviation.
Kirksville Regional Airport first made contact with the inbound flight around 7:15 p.m., advising it of wind speeds and altitude. Officials lost contact with the flight about three miles from the airport. Wreckage was found about 2.5 miles north of the airport, near the intersection of Hedgepath and Quail lanes.

The Critical Site Network (CSN) Tool is an online resource for the conservation of 294 species of waterbirds and the important sites upon which they depend in Africa and Western Eurasia. Leading global conservation organisations working for the protection of waterbirds and their habitats joined forces to develop this tool, strengthening the implementation of the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
The tool makes it easy to obtain information on the sites critical for waterbird species by accessing several independent databases and analysing information at the biogeographical population level, so providing a comprehensive basis for management and decision making. It is designed to help a range of different users from site managers to national authorities and international organisations. The CSN Tool, one of the major achievements of the Wings Over Wetlands (WOW) project, is also an important example of the added value of cooperation between likeminded conservation organisations, international conventions and agreements, governments, UN agencies and other donors.
The CSN Tool supports both AEWA and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It is also relevant to the EU Birds Directive and the Bern Convention's Emerald Network.
To access the CSN Tool please click here or use this link:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Critical Site Network tool runs in the Adobe Flash Player and is 807Kb in size. This will take approximately 6s (1 Mbps) to 3m 44s (28.8Kps) to download and only needs to be downloaded once. In addition, the site is best viewed at a screen resolution of 1280x1024.

Voltage sags and momentary interruptions plague power quality professionals worldwide. No business can afford the costly production losses that sometimes occur when small control relays de-energize during these events. This was the case for one facility in Marietta, Ohio. The plant, which produces polyvinyl styrene pellets for end-use processing at other facilities, found the control power circuits for its cooling water systems were particularly susceptible to voltage variations. Plant personnel wanted a cost-effective solution that would fit inside their existing control center and avoid the need for an extensive motor control redesign.
The pellet plant houses 3-phase AC induction motors for pumps, compressors, agitators, extruders, vacuum systems, and cooling water systems. Adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) control some of the critical motors, and an emergency generator is available in case of a power failure.
During deep voltage sags (like the one shown in Fig. 1) and momentary interruptions, nearly all of the plant's process equipment would trip offline. In addition, plant personnel noticed that, during minor voltage sags, the cooling water controls were more sensitive than the rest of the process controls. In fact, they would trip offline when everything else stayed online. If the cooling process was unavailable, then the manufacturing process would have to be stopped, resulting in out-of-spec product and lost revenue.
Motor Control Problem
The cooling process at the plant operates by a series of motor-driven pumps, fans, and cooling-tower fans with various controls for temperature and flow rate. It may implement ASDs and almost always uses standard motor control circuitry. The process control is the same for the plant's pumps and fans.
To understand how voltage variations impact motor control circuits, take a look at Fig. 2. It shows a typical start/stop circuit where the start button closes the loop to allow the coil of the control relay (CR) to energize and close the CR contacts.
When the contacts close, coil M energizes and the M contacts close, completing the path required to bypass the start button. The M contacts causing the 3-phase, motor-driven pump process to start are not shown. At this point, they are closed and the pump starts.
Everything works fine until someone presses the stop button and de-energizes the CR coil. When the CR coil de-energizes, the CR contacts open. Then coil M opens the contacts going to the pump, thereby stopping the process and shutting everything off until the start button is reenergized either manually or remotely. There are a multitude of variations on this theme, depending on safety philosophy, preferred control strategy, and other considerations. The basic start/stop concept, however, is similar.
If most start/stop controls are designed this way, then what's the big deal? Let's assume that everything is running smoothly and the process is delivering high-quality product. If a squirrel runs across a transformer in the substation ten miles from the plant, the control circuit may experience a voltage sag. Although no one pushed the stop button, the sag causes coil CR to de-energize and the cooling water pumps to shut down. This leads to a chain reaction of safety shutdowns, all because of a disturbance that lasted less than 1/15th of a second.
For this case, engineers decided to focus on the plant process's weak link — the motor control circuitry. To prevent these process elements from tripping out, they decided to use power conditioning at the control-circuit level to momentarily hold the contacts and starters closed during voltage sags.
Holding "In" for a Solution
To achieve these ends, engineers chose a coil hold-in device (see the photo). The coil hold-in device improves the voltage-sag and interruption tolerance of relays, contactors, and motor starters. You connect it between the AC source voltage and the coil of the relay or starter you want to protect. During voltage sags, the device maintains a current flow through the selected relays, contactor coils, or motor starter coils — with sufficient coil energy to hold in the 3-phase, power-circuit electromechanical device's contacts.
Reliable hold-in devices provide a controllable current for the coils of sensitive relays and starters, and they enable coils to be virtually unaffected by voltage sags. If electric power fails, or if someone pushes the emergency stop button, the coil hold-in device immediately disengages the selected coils. In addition to the sag ride-through benefit, preferred hold-in devices also provide surge protection that prevents damage to the coils from high-energy transients. Fig. 3 compares the coil performance with and without a hold-in device installed.
Use of a coil hold-in device at the polystyrene processing facility significantly reduced cooling-system dropouts. Plant personnel had previously estimated production losses at $5,000 per dropout. They spent approximately $14,000 to improve the control ride-through for all of the pumps' cooling tower fans and the instrument air controls. The majority of this dollar figure went to engineering costs for the development of new control-circuit drawings. With an average dropout rate of 13 per year, plant personnel should see payback on their investment in less than four months.
Coil hold-in devices provide a cost-effective solution for applications at the control-circuit level. The key to these devices, or any other common control-level solutions, is to know the exact causes of the nuisance-tripping problems and their affected components. Once you've gained a clear understanding of the problem, you must follow through to ensure personnel safety and equipment protection.

GETTYSBURG, PA – The York College baseball team continued its late season surge with a 15-2 non-conference victory at Gettysburg College on Tuesday afternoon in Gettysburg, PA.
The Spartans, winners of four straight, improve to 21-19 overall while the Bullets end the season with a mark of 25-13.
The Green and White offense has come to life during the four game spurt. The Spartans have scored 40 runs in the four games while they have allowed just six runs during the same stretch.
Tuesday was much of the same as the Spartans jumped out to an early lead with a three-run top of the second. The Bullets got an unearned run in the third but the Spartans blew the game wide open with a five-run fifth inning.
The five run outburst was started with a Drew Frankenfield RBI double to score Steve Tretter. Derek Pitzer then plated Frankenfield, pushing the York lead to 5-1. Later in the inning, Jimmy King scored two with a single up the middle. Colin Porter then drove in the final run of the inning with a single to right center to score King.
The Green and White got a single run in the seventh on a Porter two-out RBI single. York then removed all doubt about the outcome with a six-run eighth inning. The Spartans got the six runs on two hits, two errors, four walks and a hit batter.
Gettysburg closed out the scoring with a single run in the bottom of the eight.
Spartan senior ace Tommy Moran earned the win to improve to 7-2. He went seven strong innings, scattering seven hits while he allowed one unearned run. He struck out one and walked another.
John Donovan was tagged with his first loss of the year as he allowed six runs, five earned, on six hits with three walks and a strikeout in 4.1 innings of work. He falls to 3-1 with the loss. Reliever Rob Stalzer allowed seven runs, three earned, in three innings of work. He surrendered seven hits during his outing.
Porter led the Spartan offense as the shortstop went 3-for-3 with three RBI. Junior Nic Long added three hits, two runs scored and an RBI. King chipped in with two hits, three RBI and three runs scored.Pitzer and junior Dustin Worthman each added two hits to the 15-hit Spartan attack.
Austin Davis, Clint O'Brien, and Scott Zanghellini each had two hits to lead the Bullets. O'Brien and Al Posch had the RBI for Gettysburg.
York makes its final road trip of the season on Saturday for a non-conference doubleheader at Randolph-Macon College. Game one is slated for a 1:00 pm start.
The Spartans then close out the regular season at home on Sunday as they host Franklin & Marshall in a 1:00 pm contest.

Boffins reckon Mars quite blustery actually
Shifting sand dunes caused by wind, not carbon dioxide frost
A new geophysical study of Mars' sand dunes has claimed that the Red Planet may be a windy place after all, despite the evidence of previous experiments.
The shifting red sands of the planet have up till now been attributed to carbon dioxide ice sublimation, since boffins believed that strong winds weren't a possibility in the current Martian climate.
Researchers trying to figure out how the dunes on Mars moved around have previously conducted wind tunnel and atmospheric computer simulations that seemed to suggest that the planet wasn't a very blustery place. They concluded that the sands must move about because of carbon dioxide frost instead.
But in a new study, published in the Geophysical Research Letters (GRL), boffins from the SETI Institute, the University of Coimbra in Portugal and the US Geological Survey focused their attention on dune movement in the Arabia Terra and Meridiani region of Mars, which are not affected by seasonal changes in carbon dioxide ice.
Using images for the High Resolution Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on the Mars Reconaissance Orbiter, NASA's water-seeking satellite, and other sources of information, they measured the sands merrily blowing along by 0.4m to 1m (1.3 to 3.3ft) per Martian year.
"The study shows clear evidence that wind-driven dune activity occurs regularly on Mars today," the American Geophysical Union, publisher of GRL, said. "This suggests that carbon dioxide ice sublimation is not necessary for Martian sand movement, as had previously been thought, and that wind tunnel measurements and computer simulations showing that strong winds are rare on Mars need to be reconsidered." ®

Purim was celebrated with a skit put on by its youth group, under the direction of Cantor Shoshana Brown.
FALL RIVER - While a great deal of the spotlight was on St. Patrick's Day last week, members of the local Jewish community enjoyed a festive weekend celebrating the holiday of Purim.
At Temple Beth El in Fall River, Purim was celebrated with a skit put on by its youth group, under the direction of Cantor Shoshana Brown.
Brown and her husband, Rabbi Mark Elber, have been the joint spiritual leaders of Temple Beth El since July. They share many of the same duties, including leading the prayers and chanting from the Torah during services, visiting the sick, and their dedication to issues of social and environmental justice in the Southcoast area.
As Cantor, Brown is "the final authority for keeping our services faithful to the traditional music modes — in Hebrew nusakh — for the different seasons, holidays, and times of day." She also plays guitar during Friday night services and teaches Jewish songs to the younger children in Hebrew School.
Brown and her husband revived the Hebrew School, which had been dormant for eight years, and the seven students that attend are also members of the youth group.
The group's first meeting was actually a bowling party for Brown's son, Lev, and since then they have been busy working on their Purim play.
Next month, they plan to visit the planetarium at Bristol Community College.
Although the group has only been together for a little over two months, Brown has goals that she would like to see these bright youngsters achieve:
"I want the kids to have a safe place to celebrate being Jewish together; I want them to be friends with one another; I want them to have a vehicle for doing Jewish rituals and mitzvot (good deeds) together — especially toward the elderly, the less privileged, and the environment."
And Brown is already "seeing these kids now with such enthusiasm and hunger for learning about Judaism, God, and their heritage ... it's just so heart-warming."
From sunset on March 15 until sundown on March 16, they and other members of their faith community celebrated the holiday of Purim.
Purim — Hebrew for "lots" — falls on the 14th of Adar on the Jewish calendar. It is a celebration of the day a terrible plot was foiled.
According to the Book of Esther, Haman, the royal vizier to King Ahasuerus of Persia, wanted to wipe out all of the Jews in the empire. He cast lots to decide which day would be most advantageous to carry out his dark plans, and that was the 14th of Adar. However, he was stopped thanks to the brave actions of Mordechai and Esther.
Since then, this day of deliverance has been celebrated with revelry, usually around the same time as Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day.
Purim is celebrated by observing five religious obligations: The Book of Esther is read aloud from a scroll, charity is given to the poor, gifts of food are sent to friends and neighbors, a certain amount of drinking is encouraged, and naturally there is a Purim Feast.
There is also the Purim skit, or Purimshpiel.
This year, the youth group marked this humorous and festive day with a Star Wars-inspired skit: "Star Wars 5774: The Revenge of Shushan." The title plays on the Jewish year of 5774, the number of sequels/prequels in the Star Wars series, and Shushan, the town in Persia where the action takes place.
Purim is a holiday of humor and revelry because it could have commemorated something so much worse, had Haman been able to carry out his abhorrent plans.
According to Brown, a day that might have been unspeakably tragic has been "lightened by the humor and merriment of this holiday which looks squarely at the danger that Jews face in the world, but turns fear into comedy."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After hot starts and back-to-back wins last weekend, the Lipscomb women's basketball team found itself in a familiar position Saturday with a slow start against Northern Kentucky inside Allen Arena.
The slow start led to an eventual 16-point lead for the Norse, a deficit the Lady Bisons could never overcome and NKU left Nashville with a 61-57 victory over the Purple and Gold.
"It was too big of a hole for us in the first half," Lipscomb head coach Greg Brown said. "If you are going to shoot poorly, you really have to get some stops on the defensive end. We did hold them under their average, but we allowed ourselves to get in too big of a hole to start with.
"Another thing, we had way too many turnovers and did not turn Northern Kentucky's miscues into enough points. We could have played better today."
The loss stopped Lipscomb's two-game win streak and dropped the Lady Bisons to 5-10 overall and 2-12 in the Atlantic Sun.
The Lady Bisons scored nine points in the first 10 minutes of play on 3-pointers from Chandler Cooper and Danay Fothergill.
The Atlantic Sun's reigning Player of the Week, Ashley Southern, scored on three-straight trips to cut Northern Kentucky's lead to 18-15 with 7:37 to play in the first half.
After a quick 30-second timeout, Kayla Thacker sparked the Norse with eight points and used a 10-0 run to extend their lead to 28-15 over the next 5:46.
"Defensively, we struggled with Thacker," Brown said. "In both games we have not been able to slow her down. Thacker is a tough match-up for us. She is a big and strong guard that is very athletic. We just don't match-up well with her.
"But we did hold them to only one person in double figures. That is something to build on."
Kelli Smith got into the scoring column for the Lady Bisons with a trey, one minute before intermission. That 3-pointer gave Smith 75 for her career and tied her with Catie Woods (2006-07) for the fourth-most made threes in Lipscomb's NCAA era.
The Norse took a 30-18 lead into the locker rooms.
"We shot the ball well the last couple of games," Brown said. "We can't just continue to rely on that."
Lipscomb made just 7-of-26 shots from the field in the opening 20 minutes of action for a 26.9 field goal percentage.
Northern Kentucky started the second half on a 7-1 run and push its lead to 16, the largest lead of the day at 37-21.
Now it was Southern's time to go to work.
The redshirt sophomore began to attack the paint time after time. She went 7-of-7 from the floor and 6-of-7 from the stripe on her way to 21 second half points.
"It obviously says something about her teammates, to get her the ball in that situation," Brown said. "In the second half, we did a great job of coming out and finding Ashley. When she goes 10-for-13, you can't ask too much more from her."
Southern credits her teammates for the second half dominance.
"My teammates were reading the screens really well today," Southern said. "It started opening it up on the inside for me."
"We have really good shooters and the defense has to chase them off the screens and it opens it up in the middle for me to take the defender one-on-one."
The Lady Bisons used a 13-4 run and cut it to a two-point affair on a pair of Southern free throws to make it 45-43 with 7:38 to play.
Just as quickly as the lead tightened for the Norse, it stretched back to double digits when Lauren White was left wide open in the right corner for a jumper to extend the game to 54-43.
Lipscomb would not go away and managed to claw and scratch its way back to a three-point game (54-51) when Cooper banged home a long 3-pointer with two minutes remaining.
After three free throws from the Norse pushed their lead back to six, Southern calmly stepped up and drained her fifth 3-pointer of the year to make it a one possession game with 30 seconds to play.
But as good as the Lady Bisons played defensively, they just had no answer for Thacker and White as the two scored the last nine points for the Norse to clinch the victory.
The 61 points allowed by the Lady Bison defense was a season-low for Lipscomb.
"We have to keep improving each and every day," Brown said. "Obviously we did grow in the second half and just have to build off of that. Every time our team has had a chance to grow this year, they have grown and that it all I can ask for.
"I thought we played hard and did a lot of stuff well. We just didn't do enough of them."
Coming off a career-high against North Florida last Saturday, Southern recorded her 19th double-double of the year with 27 points and 10 boards.
Cooper finished with 11 points and four rebounds. Fothergill followed with 10 and three assists.
Thacker led the Norse with 24 points and nine rebounds.
The fifth leading scorer in the league, Melody Doss, finished with only four second half points.
The Lady Bisons hit 19-of-48 shots for 39.6 shooting percentage while NKU shot 46.2 percent, going 24-52 from the field.
Lipscomb drained 8-of-26 threes for 30.8 percent.
The Lady Bisons hit the road next week for the Sunshine state of Florida to face the A-Sun's top two teams. On Thursday Feb. 27, Lipscomb will tangle with FGCU in Ft. Myers at 6:05 p.m. CT. Then on Saturday March 6, it will face Stetson for a noon tip.
"We are going to have to execute and follow the game plan," Southern said. "Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson are really good teams. But anybody can be beat."

Cannibal Cop Trial: He Plotted to Eat 'Very Real Women,' Prosecutor Says
It began with a New York City police officer's bizarre discussion of his "harmless" cannibal fantasies during opening statements at one of the strangest cases in recent memory.
While defense attorney Julia Gatto argued that her client "never intended to kidnap anyone," the federal prosecutor said Gilberto Valle's thoughts were actually a serious plot to abduct, torture and eat "very real women."
"Make no mistake," Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall Jackson told the jury at a Manhattan federal court. "Gilberto Valle was very serious about these plans."
In reply, Gatto said: "You can't convict people for their thoughts, even if they're sick."
Valle, 28, is charged with conspiring to kidnap a woman and with unauthorized use of a law enforcement database, which prosecutors say he used to help build a list of potential targets. A conviction on the kidnapping count carries a possible life sentence.
A college graduate and father of a young child, Valle appeared to be leading a normal life before he began acting "extremely strangely," Jackson said.
It became clear to Valle's wife that something was wrong, so she put a program on his computer to trace where he went online, Jackson said. Online discussions revealed his plans to "sexually assault these women ... to slit their throats and detailed plans to cannibalize these women," he said.
Once his wife reported his strange behavior to the FBI last year, agents uncovered "a heinous plot to kidnap, rape, murder and cannibalize a number of very real women," the prosecutor said.
Claims by lawyers for Valle that he was only indulging in fetish fantasies are "utterly bogus," Jackson added.
The officer had attempted to contact potential victims, including a New York City elementary school teacher, to learn more about their jobs and residences, the prosecutor said. His Internet research also included the best rope to tie someone up with, recipes, human flesh, white slavery and chemicals that can knock someone out, Jackson said.
Gatto argued that there was "no proof of a crime here. The charges are pure fiction."
Valle, she said, had always been aroused by "unusual things" including the thought of a woman boiled down on a platter with an apple in her mouth, his lawyer said. He found a home at darkfetishnet.com with its 38,000 registered members, where they regularly discuss "suffocating women, cooking and eating them," she said.
The government was expected to call Valle's wife, Kathleen Mangan, as its first witness.
Before opening statements, U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe set strict parameters for Mangan's testimony, saying she can tell a jury about discovering her husband's morbid discussions but not about the couple's confidential communications or about his mental condition.
Prosecutors said in court papers that Mangan fled their home on Sept. 10, 2012, believing he was planning to kidnap, rape, torture and murder her. She also discovered that he "had similarly heinous plans for women she knew and to whom she was close," prosecutors wrote.
The defense has denied that Mangan was a potential victim. Valle had made clear that his wife "was unavailable for any kidnapping fantasy," the defense papers said.
Valle, a baby-faced tabloid sensation known as the "Cannibal Cop," is expected to take the stand to make the case that it was all role-playing fantasy played out on Internet sites like darkfetishnet.com.
The defense also is planning to show jurors the videotaped testimony of darkfetishnet.com co-founder Sergey Merenkov in which he describes the site as a "social media network."
Merenkov called the site "a clone of Facebook, but it is oriented to people with fetishes that are not considered standard."
Asked the most popular fetishes, Merenkov responds, "All sorts of asphyxiation" and "peril cannibalism."
Tiger Howard Devore, a psychologist and certified sex therapist who specializes in dealing with sexual dysfunction and fetishes, said the cannibalism fetish known as voreaphilia isn't common.
"For most laymen, they're going to think about it as cannibalism," Devore told The Associated Press on Monday. "But what it really is, is an obsession about consuming the flesh of the other, and this can have a whole range of expressions. ... It is mostly played out in fantasy, mostly played out in role-playing."
There are well-known criminal extremes like Jeffrey Dahmer, who saved pieces of his victims' body parts and ate the flesh, Devore said, though "the instances of this kind of violence are extremely rare."

5-day motorcycle ride to benefit children of fallen military
The American Legion's Legacy Run is expecting its motorcycle-riding participants to form in record numbers this year for the annual cross-country motorcycle ride that raises scholarship money for the children of military personnel who have died on active duty since Sept. 11, 2011. The cavalcade of Riders will come together to enjoy camaraderie and an esprit de corps that they knew in the military, but their ultimate intention is to help the children of their fallen brothers-in-arms.
The Legacy Run, which starts in Indianapolis on Aug. 18 and ends in Houston on Aug. 22, broke and went well beyond its fundraising goal last year, when donations totaled $724,524 - well above the $400,000 goal set prior to the Run. In its seven years of existence, the Legacy Run has raised more than $3.3 million in scholarship monies to be awarded to children who have lost parents in the modern war era.
A $450,000 goal has been set for this year's Legacy Run and is again expected to be met and exceeded, as nearly 400 motorcyclists are expected to participate in the 1,500-mile trek. The increased turnout is indicative of the Legacy Run's growing importance among the collective conscience of motorcycle-riding veterans and military supporters.
Donations are put into The American Legacy Scholarship Fund, which has amassed $7.6 million in principal. The interest is then taken from the principal and used to fund scholarships for some of the estimated 11,000 children who have lost parents in military service since 9/11. Nearly $350,000 in scholarships have been awarded to these children since 2004. The scholarships are given on a yearly basis and are renewable at the end of each academic term.
In all, 130 scholarships have been awarded to college-bound youth. Recipients include young professionals like Jennifer Clapp and Taylor Curry, who have used aid from the Legacy Scholarship to pay for college and gone onto successful careers. Clapp, whose father died in 2004 in a helicopter crash, now works in the banking industry. And Curry, whose father died on active duty after 23 years of service, lives and works in New York in the photography business after graduating from Savannah College of Art and Design.
To read more about the Legacy Scholarship Fund, its requirements and to learn how to apply, visit the Legion's Legacy Scholarship FAQ page.
Motorcycle riders who are interested in participating in the Legacy Run can register online by Aug. 9. Riders may join the Run at any lunch, dinner or event stops on the route. For requirements on participating, visit the registration page.
Additionally, non-riders may register and support the event. For a $25 or greater donation, an individual can become a non-riding supporter and receive a full map book set of the 2013 course and 2013 American Legion Legacy Run patches.
