BOSS Matty Holmes is happy to see competition for places hotting up at Wimborne Town.

The Magpies manager, whose side have sealed a hat-trick of victories in November, insists it is “difficult” for him to pick a starting team given his squad’s strong run of form.

First-team regulars Luke Holmes and Matt Oldring are set to come back into contention after serving one-match bans during the 3-1 win against Mangotsfield United.

Their inclusions boost the Cuthbury club’s numbers ahead of the trip to Slimbridge in Southern League West on Saturday (3pm).

Holmes told the Daily Echo: “All the lads want to play and, as manager, you can’t give all of them game time. It’s difficult.

“It’s great to see players coming in, doing a really good job and scoring goals. They deserve to be starting and that’s the way you want it as a manager.

“We know in the past we have had lots of injuries and we have actually struggled to get a team out.

“It’s nice at this moment in time to have the luxury of having 16 players who are all good quality to choose from.”

Victory would give Magpies maximum points from their league schedule this month.

Sabre Appoints New CEO for Middle East Business

Sabre Travel Network has appointed Daniel Naoumovitch chief executive officer of Sabre Travel Network Middle East. Launched in February 2005, the company is a joint venture between Sabre Travel Network and Gulf Air that replaced a 16-year marketing agreement between the two organisations.
Naoumovitch, who has held the role of CEO in an acting capacity since the company’s launch, will be responsible for all business operations in the 11 countries covered by the joint venture. “Daniel is a strong leader who will help drive our Middle East business forward,” said Richard Adams, senior vice president for Sabre Travel Network Europe, Middle East and Africa. “The business has already taken on some great initiatives since its launch six months ago and a large part of this has been due to Daniel’s leadership and experience in the region”.

Naoumovitch said one of his key priorities would be to ensure Sabre Travel Network Middle East can simultaneously meet the differing demands of travel suppliers and travel agencies.  He said he planned to do this by using Sabre Travel Network’s global experience, long history of successful supplier and agency relationships, and technology expertise.

“Since the official launch of Sabre Travel Network Middle East five months ago, we have sought to strengthen our position in the market by deploying the most appropriate resources within all parts of the Sabre business,” Naoumovitch said. “Our existing infrastructure is currently being reinforced with significant investment in manpower, helpdesk, training, technical support, hardware and the latest technologies, keeping Sabre at the forefront of the fast changing trends in the industry. We are already beginning to experience the impact of these changes and I look forward to taking this success even further”.

Naoumovitch is a fluent Arabic speaker with a 26-year multi-national background, having worked in various positions within Sabre Airline Solutions and Sabre Travel Network in the Middle East, the UK and North America.  Before joining Sabre, he held senior positions in Qatar Airways and American Airlines.

Playing Top Trumps

Rowan over at Sprunghubs... posted this picture earlier today. What a lovely piece of kit. Genuine, period stuff, is beginning to take on a Grail like quality lately. Not only because it looks nice, but the workmanship on these old pieces is sublime. Chris, he of Dreadnought fame below, has described a rear mudguard adornment from a '30s car that is in the parts horde that he is Baying for his father in law. If it lives up to the pre delivery hype, then it has got me all hot under the collar. Should make any self-respecting grown man go weak at the knees.

Walker’s words of wisdom

By Andy Darley

CalendarThursday, December 6th, 2007

Murray Walker has revealed the future to Brits on Pole (via the medium of the Daily Telegraph) and it features Michael Schumacher victorious while Lewis Hamilton struggles to fend off a rapidly-closing pack of rivals.

The veteran commentator took part in a Q&A for the newspaper in which readers supplied the questions – and one submitted by us at Brits on Pole was chosen for him to answer.

Here’s the exchange in full – note the masterly way in which the wily Walker avoids expressing any definite opinion about anything even remotely controversial:

Will Lewis Hamilton be remembered in 20 years’ time as a driver as great as Schumacher or Alain Prost? Or has he just blown his chance for glory?

Murray Walker: Who knows how Hamilton will be regarded in 20 years’ time? I admire and respect him as a person and a driver but let’s not start comparing him with Schumacher and Prost yet. He is the most successful F1 rookie of all time. But Schumacher won seven world championships (it would never surprise me to see him return and win more and remember who told you first!), Prost won four. Hamilton has yet to win one, although he came so close. F1 is unpredictable and he has a long way to go. This year he was able to display his talents in the best car, but next year’s McLaren may not be a winner. It has happened before…

My belief is that, in 2008, the gaps between Ferrari, McLaren, BMW and Williams will close, that Red Bull will be nearer and that Honda, now led by the legendary Ross Brawn, could be too. In which case Lewis will have stiffer competition than he did this year.

If things continue as they have started then I have no doubt that he could indeed become the greatest of all time. However, you never know what life has in store for you and Hamilton is no exception.

But if Walker stays tactful there, he doesn’t mince his words in other parts of the Q&A where he deals frankly with questions about Fernando Alonso and the commercial success of F1.

Alonso hasn’t done himself any favours this year. I spent a lot of his F1 debut year with him in 2001 when he drove for my friend Paul Stoddart’s Minardi team. He was self-effacing and fun. But at Renault he threw toys out of his pram if ever team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella beat him – even in qualifying.

Then the balloon really went up when, at McLaren, he had the mistaken belief that he would be given preference over Hamilton.

There’s more – plenty more – even though only a disappointingly few questions were asked, so it’s worth a visit to the Telegraph’s site to read the Q&A in full.

• It was also announced this week that Walker would be returning to the commentary booth to do the honours in Sky Sports’ coverage of the Race of Champions on December 16. He said: “The Race of Champions is a brilliant concept and it’s going to be a fantastic occasion. The driver line-up is great and the venue unique. I’m raring to get into the Sky Sports commentary box. The prospect of seeing Michael Schumacher back in the seat is mouth-watering. I also can’t wait to see how the likes of Jenson Button, David Coulthard and Andy Priaulx get on against him too.”

Remember, if you’d rather see the Race of Champions live we have last-minute ticketing information here.

Speech Debelle wins Mercury Prize! (coming for CMJ)

DOWNLOAD: Speech Debelle – Better Days (Revox) ft. Micachu and Wiley (MP3)
DOWNLOAD: Pete Lawrie – Black & Blue (featuring Speech Debelle) (MP3)

Speech Debelle

Speech Debelle won this year’s Barclays Mercury music prize last night, making her the first woman in seven years to scoop the coveted industry award.

The Park Lane Grovesnor hotel, in central London, erupted into cheers as the 26-year old rapper from south London rose to accept the prize for her debut album Speech Therapy.

Speech Debelle, real name Corynne Elliot, appeared overwhelmed by the occasion and looked close to tears as she accepted the prize, despite displaying a cocksure attitude in the run-up to the event telling interviewers she fully expected to win.

“It means a lot to me because it’s an award judges give solely on the strength of the album,” she said.

“Before they said my name I had a moment of doubt, I thought ‘what if I don’t win? What about all the people who supported me?’ and then they announced my name and I didn’t have time to react, I was being mobbed.” [Guardian]

I just got excited when I found out Speech Debelle won this year’s Mercury Prize. I wasn’t necessarily rooting for her before…. Truth is I barely heard of her before, but after recently learning she was coming to NYC for CMJ this year, I started listening to the album over Labor Day Weekend, and I’ve been loving it.

Speech Debelle told her producer Wayne “Lotek Hifi” Bennett to make her sound like a “hip-hop Tracy Chapman“. For better and worse he succeeded. The 26-year-old south Londoner’s debut Speech Therapy is a rap album rooted in the genre’s respectable, conscious traditions – the lineage typified in the 1990s by A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, Common and Arrested Development.
[The Independent]

Debelle beat Florence & The Machine, Kasabian, Bat for Lashes, Glasvegas, Friendly Fires, The Horors, and others for this year’s Mercury prize.

‘Speech Therapy’ (the album) was released here on August 18th by Big Dada and features a guest appearance by Micachu (bonus). A version of that song (“Better Days”) is available for download above along with a song by Pete Lawrie that Debelle guests on. The video for “Better Days”), and some UK tour dates are below…

Prunk TV with Shonie and Drew Sidora

Def Jam is calling her the "next Mary J. Blige." At the same time, they are telling her to lose some weight for an upcoming video shoot. Her name is Shonie, and we met up over the weekend at Slip N Slide headquarters. Slip N Slide's VP, Julian "Ju-Boy" Booth was hanging out, we talked about Trick Daddy for a minute, and then I went to Publix with Shonie. She had to buy food for the strict new diet that some Def Jam nutritionist put her on. Sheesh...Def Jam should be telling Rick Ross to lose some weight, but he is a male rapper, so it doesn't matter.

After Publix, we ended up on the beach at Hed Kandi for some "networking party." Two days later, I was in the studio with Shonie and another new SNS artist, Drew Sidora. Here you get to see some behind the scenes footage of how a hit is made. Miami's Slip N Slide Records is, after all, "Home of the Hits."

2017 Toyota Prius c Introduction

Launched for the 2012 model year, the Prius c is Toyota’s lowest-priced hybrid model. It’s also the smaller member of the Toyota Prius family of hybrid (gasoline/electric) vehicles.

Bumpers and rocker panels were redesigned for the 2017 model year, along with the rear spoiler and new alloy wheels. Toyota also has made standard its Safety Sense suite of driver-assistance features, including a pre-collision system, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams.

Officially considered a subcompact, the Prius c is a bit longer than some competitive models, measuring 158.7 inches. Urbanites and commuters are the foremost prospects for a modestly priced, fuel-efficient little runabout like the Prius c. Toyota says c stands for city. We think of it as meaning cheap or compact. Roomier than expected, the interior shows evidence of cost-cutting measures, but it is a solidly built hatchback.

The hybrid powertrain combines a 60-horsepower electric motor with a 73-horsepower, 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 19.3-kW (144-volt) nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Like most smaller hybrids, the Prius c uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). System output totals 99 horsepower. Both the battery pack and the gasoline tank fit beneath the rear seat, which permits a full-depth cargo area.

Four logical trim levels are offered: One, Two, Three, and Four. Each version contains power windows, mirrors, and door locks, along with automatic climate control and remote keyless entry. A 6.1-inch touchscreen for the audio system includes a USB port and iPod connectivity.

Even when driving with zest, the Prius c is fuel-efficient. Normal mode is for everyday driving. EV mode, activated by a dashboard button, lets the Prius c run on electricity alone, but for less than a mile, below 25 mph. Eco mode curtails power output by controlling throttle operation and lowering climate-control settings, for even thriftier fuel usage. Painfully slow acceleration is the penalty for that level of thriftiness. And motorists behind may not appreciate it.

Safety scores in crash-testing aren’t the best. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Prius c a four-star rating overall, and the same score for frontal and side-impact collisions. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has given the hatchback Good crash scores, but only an Acceptable evaluation for that organization’s small-overlap crash test. Nine airbags are standard, along with the newly standard Safety Sense suite.

2017 Volkswagen Jetta Driving Impressions

Roadholding and precise handling are the top Jetta benefits, scoring higher than most competitors, except for the Mazda 3 and Ford Focus. Ride quality also excels. Excellent suspension control yields an absorbent ride, nearly eliminating the bounding suffered by some compact sedans.

All Jettas have electric power steering, which behaves well. Brakes feel strong and inspire confidence. A Jetta can dash around corners more confidently than some popular rivals.

Tauter springs and shock absorbers, coupled with slightly lower ride height, help give the GLI more precise road behavior. Steering feels a bit sharper.

A base model with the 1.4-liter engine takes more than seven seconds to reach 60 mph, yet feels lively, though not exactly quiet when accelerating emphatically. The 1.8-liter isn’t noticeably swifter, but feels a bit more confident and energetic. Better-sounding, too. Jettas with either engine are enjoyable to drive. Most available engine power arrives at lower speeds.

The GLI’s 2.0-liter engine delivers stimulating, consistent power through 6,000 rpm. Expect some noise when pushing hard. Shifts from the 6-speed manual gearbox feel a bit notchy. The optional dual-clutch automatic reacts promptly, especially when paddle-shifted.

The 1.4-liter base engine is the thriftiest, EPA-rated at 28/38 mpg City/Highway, or 32 mpg Combined, with automatic. Manual shift raises the highway estimate to 40 mpg. The 1.8-liter four is EPA-rated at 25/35 mpg City/Highway, or 29 mpg Combined. With automatic, the GLI’s 2.0-liter engine is EPA-rated at 24/33 mpg City/Highway, or 27 mpg Combined.

Thursday the U.S. Senate and our senator, Bob Casey, voted to fundamentally change the way it passes legislation. While, for the moment, it is only in the very limited area of presidential nominations that will likely change over time. That is the problem when a rule is changed in favor of political expediency.

The Senate has started itself down a path of simple majority rule. This is fundamentally different from what the Founding Fathers intended. It is perhaps the largest change to the Senate since direct election of senators began, and that took a constitutional amendment.

To discover this one had to read into Page 5 of the national section of this newspaper. It was given very little column space. A strange place to put a story about something that will eventually change the manner in which we are governed.

This paper did its readers a disservice.

Sir William Paget – 1st Baron Paget of Beaudesert

In Tudor times, William Paget was one of the most prominent men in England. Son of John, one of the serjeants-at-mace of the city of London, he was born in London in 1506. His father was said to have been of humble origin from Wednesbury, Staffordshire. Educated at St Paul’s School, and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, proceeding afterwards to the university of Paris.

Probably through the influence of Stephen Gardiner, who had early befriended Paget, he was employed by Henry VIII in several important diplomatic missions; in 1532 he was appointed clerk of the signet and soon afterwards of the privy council. He acquired large estates from Henry VIII on the dissolution of the monasteries. He became secretary to Queen Anne of Cleves in 1539, and in 1543 he was sworn of the privy council.

A letter written by William Paget, clerk to the Privy Council, to Sir Thomas Wriothesley, Garter King-at-arms, dated 27 Jun 1541, only two days before Lord Dacre’s execution, tells that the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Sussex, Hertford and St. John, with Mr. Baker, consulted in the Star Chamber upon Lord Dacre’s case:

Sir, I am sent for to the Council, and must stay my writing until soon.

At my coming to the Star Chamber there I found a11 the lords, to the number of xvij assembled for a conference touching the lord Dacre’s case;. . . To Council they went, and had with them present the Chief Justices, with others of the King’s learned Counsel; and albeit I was excluded, yet they ‘spake so loud, some of them, that I might hear them notwithstanding two doors shut between us. Among the rest that could not agree to wilful murder, the Lord Cobham, as I took him by his voice, was vehement and stiff: Suddenly and softly they agreed, I wot not how, and departed to the Kings Bench together; whereas the lord Chancellor executing the office of High Steward, the lord Dacre pledd not guilty to the indictment, referring himself to the trial of his peers, and declaring, with long circumstances, that he intended no murder, and so purged himself to the audience as much as he might. And yet nevertheless afterward, by an inducement of the confession of the rest already condemned, declared unto him by the judge, he refused his trial, and, upon hope of grace (as I took it), confessed the indictment; which he did not without some insinuation. His judgment was to be hanged. It was pitiful to see so young a man by his own folly brought to such a case, but joyful to hear him speak at the last so wisely and show himself so repentant. . . . To-day after dinner the Council was with the King to declare lord Dacre’s humble submission, hoping thereby to move his Majesty to pardon him, which took no effect, for to-morrow shall. . . Mantel, Roydon, and Frowdes suffer, and the lord Dacre upon Wednesday. God have mercy upon them and give them grace to repent their evil doings and to take patiently their deaths.

He was Secretary of State with Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, 1543 and 1544, and again with Sir William Petre, 1544 to 1547. Henry VIII in his later years relied much on his advice, named him as one of the executors of his will, and appointed him one of the council to act during the minority of Edward VI.

Influential in Edward Seymour’s plot to become Protector of Edward VI, Paget at first vigorously supported the Protector Somerset, while counselling a moderation which Somerset did not always observe. In 1547 he was made comptroller of the King’s household, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and a Knight of the Garter; and in 1549 he was summoned by writ to the House of Lords as Baron Paget de Beaudesert. About the same time he obtained extensive grants of lands, including Cannock Chase and Burton Abbey in Staffordshire, and in London the residence of the bishops of Exeter, afterwards known successively as Lincoln House and Essex House, on the site now occupied by the Outer Temple in the Strand. He also obtained Beaudesert in Warwickshire, which remained the chief seat of the Paget family. Paget shared Somerset’s disgrace, being committed to the Tower in 1551 and degraded from the Order of the Garter in the following year, besides suffering a heavy fine by the Star Chamber for having profited at the expense of the Crown in his administration of the duchy of Lancaster. He was, however, restored to the King’s favour in 1553, and was one of the twenty-six peers who signed the device of King Edward; was one of Jane Grey’s Privy Councillors, but signed a proclamation in support of Mary shortly after. He made his peace with Queen Mary, who reinstated him as a Knight of the Garter and in the privy council in 1553, and appointed him Lord Privy Seal in 1556. William Paget openly suggested to marry Edward Courtenay to Elizabeth; but Courtenay had rejected it, on the grounds that it would be beneath the dignity of one of his unblemished lineage. On the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 Paget retired from public life.

By his wife Anne Preston he had six daughters and five sons, the two eldest of whom, Henry and Thomas, succeeded in turn to the peerage. The Pagets’ marriage was close, and William’s fellow-councillors had on occasion appealed to her influence with him, just as she had appealed to them on his behalf in 1552. Lady Paget was not an especial favourite of Queen Mary, though she was chosen to escort her in the coronation procession.

The Paget family’s main residence was Beaudesert House in Cannock Chase. But before this was built, they often occupied the Manor House within the precincts of the former Burton abbey.

When they stayed there, they lived in grand style. An inventory of c. 1580 shows that there were over 60 rooms, many handsomely furnished. On occasion, the household staff numbered 75 persons, and in the first week of Jan of that year, there were 14 guests staying in the house, including the sheriff of Staffordshire.

When Burton Abbey was granted to its new owner in 1546, William Paget began planning to expand the Manor House, known to have existed since at least 1514, into a grand mansion. A plan of 1562 shows that the house was to have three storeys and a long gallery. To provide the materials for this project, the old abbey buildings were to be cannibalised. There were major alterations to the house over the next three centuries. The present building, still very much in evidence close to the Market Place, is mainly of brick but was formerly of stone, and timber-framed. The attic probably has the most exceptional medieval roof in Burton. The early 19th century range probably occupies the site of a medieval open hall, and parts of the building still date back to the original building.

Sir William died in 1563. After his death, after being implicated in Catholic plots against the Queen, the manor house along with most of the family estates were confiscated, ended the Pagets’ interest in the Manor House.

It was leased to Richard Almond in 1612 by which time some of the former Abbey buildings incorporated into the house were in a very bad state of repair.

Trump thanks 'deplorables' for helping him win election

AFP  |  Washington

Donald Trump tweeted his thanks and congratulations to the millions of Americans who elected him president one year ago today, including the "deplorables" criticised by rival during their toxic campaign. The tweet came hours after Democrats scored wins in several high-profile state and local elections, victories seen as a repudiation of Trump's combative politics. "Congratulations to all of the 'DEPLORABLES' and the millions of people who gave us a MASSIVE (304-227) Electoral College landslide victory!" Trump posted on Twitter from China, where he is in the midst of his nearly two-week trip to Asia. The tweet included a photograph apparently taken aboard Air Force One, showing Trump, his son-in-Jared Kushner, and several aides -- communications director Hope Hicks, senior policy advisor Stephen Miller and director Dan Scavino -- giving thumbs-up signs. Trump stunned the political world with his improbable victory on November 8, 2016. The race proved one of the most divisive of modern times, and fanned those flames two months before the in one of her most controversial speeches of the campaign. "To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," she told attendees at a September 10, 2016 fundraiser. "The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic -- you name it," she added. "Unfortunately there are people like that.

And he has lifted them up." Trump supporters proudly embraced the "deplorables" term, in part as a way to mock and her backers.

bbMajor League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) CEO Bob Bowman dropped by for a Q&A with the Wall Street Journal's Joseph De Avila. Among the highlights:

  • The company will be adding new features to its popular iPhone app "by Labor Day weekend," potentially including box scores and player stats. (We hope they improve the video playback, too -- it's great over wi-fi, but it's almost unwatchable over AT&T's 3G network -- impossible to see the ball.)

  • A similar app for RIM's BlackBerry is in the works.

  • While the company has pondered an IPO in the past, none is in the works. "It is more likely that I will start at shortstop for the Yankees," Bowman says. Why not? "I'm not sure it's right, given the unique nature of baseball – the partnership that baseball is with 30 owners. Even more macro, right now I think most companies that are public wish they were private... We generate enough cash flow that we can fund our development off that."

MLBAM, which started in 2000 with an $80 million investment -- roughly $3 million per team -- generated some $400 million in sales last year.

Barack Obama AP

Another new poll of Ohio gives President Barack Obama a comfortable lead over Mitt Romney in the Buckeye State, a troubling sign for the Republican nominee in a near-must win state.

Obama leads Romney 50-46 in Ohio, according to the new poll from CNN/ORC. It very closely mirrors the results of recent Quinnipiac and Time magazine polls. Among registered voters in the CNN poll, Obama's lead expands to 7 points.

What pushes Obama to a lead in the new CNN poll are leads with women and Independents and a stronger-than-normal showing with white voters. He grabs 56 percent of the female vote compared with Romney's 42 percent, and Obama leads Romney by 5 points among Independents. Meanwhile, he only trails by 9 points among white voters, which is slimmer than his national numbers.

Obama also has a huge, 21-point lead among respondents that already voted in the Buckeye State.

Ohio is one of three crucial states to watch on Election Night — because, along with Wisconsin and either Nevada or Iowa, it provides Obama with a very easy path to Electoral College victory.

Dartmouth College Dartmouth College Josue Mendivil

Dartmouth College fraternity whistleblower Andrew Lohse released his purported tell-all "Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy: A Memoir" this week, and the reviews have not been kind.

The Dartmouth — the college's student newspaper — compared it to James Frey's much maligned faux-memoir "A Million Little Pieces," and wrote "towing readers through this slogfest feels like an act of hazing itself." In The Wall Street Journal, Dartmouth alum Joseph Rago writes "The worst hazing rite I can imagine is spending time inside the mind of Mr. Lohse."

One of the biggest critiques of the former Sigma Alpha Epsilon brother's first literary effort is that it's unclear how true his claims are. In his book and a previous whistle-blowing column in The Dartmouth, Lohse details much of the hazing he supposedly participated in, including swimming in "a kiddie pool full of vomit, urine, fecal matter, semen and rotten food products."

(Check out an excerpt of "Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy" here »)

Looking through the recent coverage of "Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy," as well as previous articles in The Dartmouth and Ivy League gossip blog IvyGate [where I was formerly an editor], it becomes clear that Lohse may not be the most reliable narrator. Here's why:

There's Never Been Evidence Of Lohse's Worst Hazing Claims

Dartmouth College Fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon SAE Dartmouth's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter Via Wikimedia Commons

Although colleges tend to be bad at policing their own problems, it's worth noting that Lohse's claims went nowhere at Dartmouth.

As noted by The Dartmouth:

In 2012, the College launched an investigation into SAE in response to Lohse’s public account. Later that year, the College charged SAE and 27 of its members with hazing violations. Charges against all 27 members were later dropped.

College spokesperson Justin Anderson wrote in a statement at the time that "information initially presented to the UJAO supported the charges. Information received subsequently, however, indicated that the initial information contained inaccuracies and was not a sufficient basis for the charges to proceed to hearing."

Additionally, while SAE did come forward to confirm some of the more benign hazing claims, another Dartmouth administrator said at the time that the school "did not find a preponderance of evidence that SAE engaged in the most egregious of the allegations detailed in the report and did not find a preponderance of evidence that SAE hazed new members in 2011."

Lohse claims he has pictures to support many of his allegations and that he has shown them to Dartmouth administrators. But as IvyGate reported in 2012, "Nobody, except Lohse and the College’s administration, has seen these pictures. (You would know if we had!) Furthermore, they do not depict everything he wrote about — just a lot of beer and someone vomiting. Where are these pictures? Lohse hasn’t provided a single one."

Rago, writing in The Wall Street Journal, also raises these concerns in his review of Lohse's book:

Trigger warning: These may be the worst, and least trustworthy, confessions in the 16 centuries since St. Augustine's. As an Ivy League frat boy myself, who graduated from that Hanover, N.H., institution not long before Mr. Lohse arrived, I found his story far-fetched, and anyone ought to question the testimony of an aspiring Bret Easton Ellis.

... More to the point, some of the incidents that Mr. Lohse describes are crimes. For that reason, both the Hanover police and the college administration investigated and found no evidence or other witnesses to corroborate his allegations. None. The author claims these same authorities, whom most students and alumni regard as no fans of the Greek system, are part of a conspiracy.

Lohse Knows How To Seize An Opportunity

In March 2012, a few months after his column in The Dartmouth, Lohse was the subject of a profile in Rolling Stone, written by Janet Reitman. IvyGate called the piece a "comprehensive character assassination of its main subject" who is portrayed as a "violent, pretentious, alcoholic, mentally ill, status-anxious, back-stabbing drug addict."

As multiple articles about the new book point out, Lohse has a problematic history with Dartmouth that may have influenced his motivations in writing the book. As Rago writes:

But it was only after Mr. Lohse had ruined his education, his job prospects and his health that the aspiring writer followed through on his plan to "blow the lid in a fireworks-laden media display." By trashing the college's character, he hoped to provoke the administration to abolish the fraternity and sorority system.

Are his confessions honest—or ex post facto baloney meant to serve his political agenda and, by the way, help land a book deal and (fingers crossed) movie treatment?

Likewise, The Dartmouth's review raises a similar point:

The shattered beer bottle on the cover should spray dollar signs. It seems that's what this book is for — if Lohse couldn't make it on Wall Street like all of us surely will, he'll make it in print, beating this dead horse until it stops spitting out money.

As The Dartmouth's reviewer points out, Lohse's book plays into commonly held stereotypes about two of higher education's most maligned groups — Ivy League preps and obnoxious frat bros. "Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy" gives readers a certain sense of a story before the book even begins:

The Ivy League — the ultimate name drop — perks up would-be readers' ears. It represents prestige and excellence, and those who sit on its pedestal become the easiest targets ... Now Dartmouth has assumed its place at the guillotine, a public spectacle for the many who have waited for their suspicions of Greek life to be validated. In making himself out to be the prototypical Dartmouth student, Lohse dangerously perpetuates the stereotypes of the legacy, Republican, J. Crew-only, screw-school, coked-up alcoholic. By exploiting these hackneyed labels and founding his stories on them, Lohse prompts audiences to believe him, wave their fists and shake their heads while thinking, "I knew it! Those fraternities are nothing but…(insert cliché)."

galaxy s 4 Will Wei/Business Insider

In his in-depth look at Samsung's Korean headquarters for Bloomberg Businessweek's cover story, Sam Grobart did confirm one interesting nugget about a new device coming soon: The Galaxy S4 Mini.

Here's Grobart:

The Galaxy S 4 doesn’t come out until late April. It’s fast, has a big, bright screen, and will probably be another huge hit for Samsung, as will the S 4 mini that will go on sale soon after.

There have been a few reports and rumors about the Galaxy S4 Mini in recent weeks, including at least one leaked photo of the device. It's supposedly a cheaper version of the Galaxy S4 that has a smaller screen and slower processor.

The Galaxy S4 Mini wouldn't be an unprecedented move though. Samsung made a cheaper version of its Galaxy S III flagship phone last year called the Galaxy S III Mini. That device is sold outside the US.

Some time ago, we brought you the inspiring, tear jerker story of how Google Glass helped a woman regain her confidence and go camping again. A car accident on her way to her previous camping trip left her paralyzed from the chest down.

New technology can be fun and interesting. It can also play a powerful role in the quality of life for those with serious health issues.

In honor of Super Bowl weekend, we bring you another such story, about NFL football player Steve Gleason.

Gleason only started one game in his 7-year NFL career with the New Orleans Saints. But he'll forever be known for a play that led to the Saints' first touchdown in the their first game back at the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina.

Three years after he left the NFL, he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that hits former NFL players at a higher rate and at younger ages.

It impedes his ability to walk and talk.

Gleason uses eye-tracking technology on a Microsoft Surface tablet to type out words and the machine speaks for him. It also lets him control his electric wheel chair.

"I am hopeful for a medical cure for ALS." Gleason says in the video posted below. "Until there is one, technology is my cure."

Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are a staple of nearly every child's upbringing.

But as children reach adolescence and driving age, the affinity for Hot Wheels generally seems to subside as they stop pretending and take their own place behind the wheel. But there may still be some leftover nostalgia for the simpler days of playing with toy cars.

Well, thanks to tilt shift photography, that nostalgia can be brought to the car world.

More evidence that Apple's (AAPL) iPhone is a hit gaming platform: Check out these all-time download stats compiled by comScore. Of the top 25, almost half -- 12 are games; more than any other category. And a few of the "entertainment" apps might as well be games, too.

Greg Yardley, founder and CEO of iPhone analytics startup Pinch Media, takes comScore's data further: Using his company's data, he extrapolates that about 22-23 million iPhone and iPod touch owners have downloaded apps; or roughly three quarters of all iPhones and iPod touches sold.

The Bliss Women and Children Project is a Christian, non-profit organization. Our aim is to provide opportunities for women and children, who are living in extreme poverty, are abandoned, orphaned, internally displaced, widowed or living with HIV/AIDS.

More than 100 women and 80 children benefit from our programs every day. We are based in Kaptembwo, one of the poorest regions of Nakuru, Kenya. We have been working with women and children in this region on a day-to-day basis since2004. We always will serve people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or gender.

BWCP was founded by Esther Githaiga, a Kenyan Rotarian woman from the club of the Great Rift valley who wanted to address the region's tremendous inequities. Everyone who works with us comes from Kaptembwo and the surrounding area. However, we also accept volunteers from throughout Kenya and around the world. We are looking for people who want to get their hands dirty and use their skills to help improve people's lives.

BWCP opens doors and offers hope so that these women can begin to build a better future for themselves and their children.

We offer a hand up – not a hand out

Readers respond to the April 7 issue

Off label

I just read your collection of articles and reviews on the work of Warren Craghead and enjoyed them very much [“Here, there and everywhere,” March 31].  Craghead’s How to Be Everywhere and A Map’s Little Spell are some of the strongest “comics” of the past few years, strong enough to make the label itself fall flat. It is nice to see your magazine celebrate work that fits so few—and yet connects so many—artistic categories.

The other Commonwealth’s Attorney

The other Commonwealth’s Attorney

The office of Charlottesville’s head prosecutor, Warner D. “Dave” Chapman, is tucked off a mundane hallway in City Hall, far removed from the bustle of lawyers, clerks, cops and cons a few blocks north in historic Court Square.

Chapman, too, is usually removed from the pomp and politics of the local legal scene. While his counterpart in the county, the bow-tie-clad James L. Camblos, III, is highly visible both in the justice system and with the local Republican party, Chapman mostly stays out of the limelight.

City Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Chapman isn’t one to hog the limelight.

Yet the lawyer who both majored in politics and took his law degree at UVA has been Commonwealth’s attorney for the city for 13 years, and has worked on some of the area’s most serious cases. Before that, he served as assistant and deputy Commonwealth’s attorney in Albemarle, and maintains membership on a number of policy and justice boards locally and statewide. He’s also an active member of the local Democratic party. In short, the guy is known. But why the disappearing act when it comes to the press?

“Many times a prosecutor’s office is not doing its job well when it’s especially visible,” says Chapman. The public hears less “if you don’t make a bunch of mistakes.”

Chapman also maintains a strict “no comment” policy for ongoing cases: “We do not try our cases on the courthouse steps.”

This approach might stem from the fact that in more than a decade, Chapman has never had an opponent in the Commonwealth’s attorney’s race. That means he can run his office like a lawyer, not a politician.

Still, Chapman has his fair share of struggles behind the scenes, foremost being low attorneys’ salaries. Virginia’s criminal justice system is “chronically underfunded,” resulting in high turnover and making it difficult for prosecutors to take on the sometimes well-paid defense attorneys.

“We have a very high bar here,” Chapman says, “and we have to be able to take on any lawyer.”

Despite the low pay, the city prosecutors are effective case-closers. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania recently worked with the county to obtain a guilty verdict in the capital murder trial of wife-killer Anthony Dale Crawford.

“If a prosecutor’s office ever gets out of 90 percent in terms of a conviction rate,” Chapman says, “there’s something wrong.”

Cadbury Model UN

Flags outside the UN

The United Nations (UN) is an international organisation that was founded in 1945 with the purpose of achieving international order as to avoid any further conflict between countries. The organisation was set up after the second World War to prevent such an event from ever taking place again. The UN works on a range of issues that include; climate change, security, terrorism and humanitarianism.

The Model United Nations gives students from schools, colleges, and universities a chance to experience what the UN is all about. Role playing meetings for different scenarios, students get an idea of how conflicts are dealt with by the UN.

Students choose or are allocated a country which they will represent during the meetings where conflicts and issues are discussed. Researching a country’s viewpoint on issues, debating and putting forward arguments for a variety of topics allows students to understand and appreciate the time and effort the UN puts in to resolve issues.

Not only is the Model UN an enjoyable experience but students often develop and refine skills throughout the process. Researching details about key issues can help students prepare for university where students are required to research for assignments. Debating, negotiating and presenting ideas and arguments are also useful skills that are developed throughout the experience.

Well done to the Cadbury College students that took part at Cadbury College’s first ever model UN. A big thank you to Christopher Hofmann who organised and advertised the Model UN to students. As well as creating resources to explain the process and official procedures for participating.

Students discussed resolutions whilst representing different countries and tried to come up with resolutions to the issues on the agenda. The issues that students tackled were:

Human Rights council

Syrian Refugee Crisis
Establishment of International Abortion Rights

Security Council

South Sudan Terrorism Crisis
Protection of Infrastructure against Terrorist Attacks

Students managed to debate and create resolutions for the issues over the two days. Many of the participants found the experience enjoyable as it provided a platform to discuss current issues and debate with others on the best ways to resolve the conflicts. Not only was it an enjoyable experience but also an opportunity to meet new students from around the college who studied different courses.

Please review this guide for the CAKE 2014 application. A lot of this information is on the application, but we’re OK with repeating ourselves, if it means you’re better informed.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact

PLEASE NOTE: This application is open until December 15th! CAKE is a curated show, not first-come, first-served. There is no benefit to applying early. All applications received between October 15 & December 15 will be treated the same and reviewed by the CAKE 2014 jury.

Contact Information
City, State & Zipcode
Email Address

This information will only be used for CAKE’s internal use, and will not be shared with anyone. (We do disclose your City & State to our jury).

Are You Applying as an Individual or Group?
108 tables may seem like a lot of space, but it’s not. In order to give as many people a chance to exhibit at CAKE, we have set a half table (3′ wide by 2.5′ deep) as the standard size for exhibitors. Most applicants should apply as “Individuals.”

The “Group” application is designed for small press publishers, distros, or collectives, when a large group of people are represented by a single entity.

If you are a group of friends who always table together, you should each apply as individuals, and request to be placed next to each other. We try our hardest to accommodate those requests. Feel free to ask us if you’re not sure how you should apply. Table prices are $65/half table space.

Exhibitor Information
This is information that will help our jury get to know who you are, and what to expect if you were to exhibit at CAKE. You should include any information you feel is relevant to your application. If you are applying as a group, be sure to explain why you feel you need additional space, and the people you’re representing and/or will have behind the table with you.

Promotional Information
Short Bio
Social Media Information

This is information that will be used on our website and in our program if you are invited to exhibit. You can list information for up to 2 individuals. Any social media information will be used to connect with you, and to promote you as an exhibitor.

Tabling Preferences & Requests
You may list up to two individuals you’d like to sit next to, as well as any important information we need to know in order to make your exhibiting experience a positive one.

Submitting Work
We strongly encourage you to submit links to specific work that our jurors will review to best understand the type of comics you make. If you link to a general website, or to your Tumblr, our jurors may not make the effort to follow links, or scroll past all of your Golden Girls gifs. Please use URLS of specific web pages. If you cannot link to specific work, you may upload up to five PDFs or JPGs of your comics. If you cannot link to pages or upload files, you may mail us hard copies to:

c/o Quimby’s Bookstore
1854 W North Ave
Chicago, IL 60622

Additional Notes
If you still have something to say to us, speak now! This is the space to include it.

Chicago Alternative Comics Expo Terms & Conditions
The Application Process
Filling out this application does not guarantee you a table space at CAKE. All applications will be reviewed by the CAKE advisory committee, which is an open body consisting of members of the Chicago alternative comics community. All applications submitted on or before December 15, 2013 will be reviewed within the month of January and applicants will be informed via email by January 20, 2013 as to whether they will be offered table space at the expo, or if they are on the waiting list. While reviewing applications, CAKE and its advisory committee strive to put together a show that includes a wide variety of talent and experience behind our tables – we are looking more for an indication of a passion for alternative comics rather than an established reputation. In our exhibitors, we also hope to present a strong representation from the greater Chicago area and are eager to host and promote first-time exhibitors. Exhibitors should have for sale at least one title that they feel strongly represents their talent and personal voice as a comics creator. CAKE reserves the right to request more information about your table merchandise. No table space is reserved until you receive confirmation from CAKE.

The Jury Process
All applications submitted on time will be reviewed by at least 4 jurors, who will rate the work of the applicant from 5 to 1. The jurors’ primary concern is selecting exhibitors that reflect rich and varied styles of alternative comics. Each applicants’ ratings will be averaged together, and all applicants will be ranked based on their averaged score. CAKE organizers will then have an opportunity to advocate for applicants who may have received a lower ranking due to inexperience, or a unique style. Your score is only seen by CAKE organizers. We will not share your score or your placement on the waitlist.

Exhibitor Information
An exhibitor fee of $65 for each half table (3’ x 2’5′) granted is due within three weeks of being invited to exhibit at CAKE. If you are invited to exhibit, you will receive instructions on payment.PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT ANY PAYMENT WITH THIS APPLICATION!

CAKE loves crafts and baked goods, but we ask exhibitors focus their tables towards comics. No animals, except service animals, are allowed at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo.

Refund Policy
In the event of table cancellation, CAKE will refund table fees as long as we can fill the table space from our waiting list. Refunds will be issued within 30 days. NO REFUNDS FOR CANCELLED TABLES WILL BE GRANTED AFTER MAY 1, 2014.

Exhibitor’s contact information will be kept private. CAKE will not sell, trade, rent or give away submitted contact information to a third party.

Safer Spaces Policy
CAKE does not discriminate against any person with respect to race, color, sex, gender identity, age, religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, or source of income. CAKE is a safe space: actions or merchandise that is considered hateful or that makes any attendee, staff member or exhibitor feel unsafe will not be tolerated. Offended parties are encouraged to approach CAKE organizers to mediate and resolve the situation. CAKE reserves the right to remove any party from our events. Exhibitor agrees to not hold CAKE, its staff, or Center on Halsted responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged merchandise.

Comes Now This Missive From the State Republican Party

Where Is John Burton?

Burton Strangely Silent on Brown-Clinton Democratic Family Feud

SACRAMENTOCalifornia Republican Party spokesman Brian Seitchik today issued the following statement:

“Chairman of the California Democratic Party John Burton, known for his razor sharp retorts, has been uncharacteristically silent on the Brown-Clinton family feud.

Does Burton agree with Jerry Brown when he said last Sunday “Clinton’s a nice guy but whoever said he always told the truth?” Or is Chairman Burton willing to acknowledge the facts of the Whitman ad: Brown turned a $6 billion surplus into a billion dollar deficit, opposed Proposition 13, and increased the tax burden on Californians during his tenure as Governor?

It looks like Burton is following the age-old adage when it comes to Jerry Brown—can’t live with him, can’t shut him up.”

(Editor’s Note: As a bonus, Seitchik includes this fairly benign, by Burton standards, quote from a November 17, 1990 piece by Cathleen Decker in the Los Angeles Times.)

“Internal bickering among California Democrats over blame for Dianne Feinstein’s narrow gubernatorial defeat surfaced Friday in Florida as delegates to a meeting of state Democratic officials snickered over a letter harshly critical of state party chairman and former governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.

“In a letter dispatched to state Democratic Party chairmen meeting in Miami, California Assemblyman John Burton of San Francisco said Brown bungled the party’s get-out-the-vote drive and doomed Feinstein to defeat. Feinstein lost to Republican Pete Wilson by 3 percent of the votes cast.

“Brown ‘is the most self-serving, inept politician that I have ever met in my 35 years in politics,’ Burton’s letter to the Democratic officials said.”

(Editor’s Note: Curious if the assessment has changed in the intervening two decades.)

  1. I wish John would just stay out of this, I need one more term on the Regents.

  2. John who????

    Comment by Sandy Carey — 9.16.2010 @ 2:19 pm

  3. The overall accuracy and continuing efficacy of Burton’s observation notwithstanding, and despite the fact that I swore in 1975 that I would never ever ever ever vote for him again FOR ANYTHING, Whitman has succeeded in driving me back to Jerry to the point that I’m actually trying to persuade my kids to overlook my ceaseless bitching about him over the years — more Reagan than Ronnie was, screwed the developmentally disabled, imposed fees at community colleges, inexplicably vetoed my boss’s most innocuous bills, canceled on our big district fundraiser to be at a presidential campaign event in Maryland (did I mention those vetoed bills?) — and vote for the @#$%#*&.

    (Greg — my actual name won’t show up here, right? Right?)

  4. RE: “Brown ‘is the most self-serving, inept politician that I have ever met in my 35 years in politics,’ Burton’s letter to the Democratic officials said.”

    OBVIOUSLY John was way wrong. Jerry is still getting elected to high office (higher than Burton did or will do) and, frankly, he has the experience factor that Burton, and more importantly, MEG cannot come close to as CEO in private industry (which ain’t like running a Government–you get canned, recalled, etc., for pushing employees).

Canada Casino Sites - The Best Online Casinos for Canadian Players

Skrill (formerly moneybookers) is one of the world’s most popular ways to paid and also be paid. Almost every online casino now has Skrill as a viable payment solution and this can be used to both deposit and withdraw funds at many Canadian online casinos. This is one of the most popular and secure online payment solutions.

More on Skrill Banking Option for Canadian Players

Skrill is an extremely popular e-wallet that processes secure online transactions, enabling players to top up their online casino balance or withdraw their winnings using a similar transaction process (but basically in reverse). This e-wallet is a viable payment solution at almost every online gambling portal today and can be used at online casinos, sportsbetting websites, poker sites and other similar gambling portals.

Applying for a Skrill account is a smooth and simple process. All you have to provide them with details such as your own personal bank details (including credit or debit card details), your full name, date of birth and current address, plus other similar important information. Once you have been verified, your account will be activated and you can start using the Skrill services.

Your Skrill account can be funded by your bank, providing your bank contains enough funds for the request, or you can also receive money from another Skrill user (for example an employer or friend who also has a Skrill account)

To add funds into your casino account, decide on the exact amount that you want to deposit and then confirm this. After confirming this, you will be redirected you to your Skrill account where you must then enter your Skrill username and password, plus there is also a 6 digit security code to enter. You will then be prompted to confirm the amount one last time for the transaction to be completed.

After this final confirmation, the funds that you requested will be added to your casino account and you will instantly have available funds. The transaction literally takes seconds to complete. A withdrawal involves a similar reverse process, but actually receiving the funds from your casino account could take anywhere up to 48 hours.

Skrill is certainly an online payment worth signing up to. The services are fantastic and rapid and always made within a secure online environment, protected by the latest encryption technology.
