[JURIST] French lawmakers are expected on Tuesday to strike the final blow to the nation's maligned 35-hour work week [JURIST report], ending the national experiment lauded by workers but criticized as a drain on the country's economy. With national unemployment at 10 percent [Wikipedia entry], lawmakers say that the legislation, which was originally intended to force mass hiring, has failed in its goals and may have actually hurt living standards by leading to a wage freeze as a result of lost labor. A bill restoring a 39-hour work week is expected to be approved, even garnering support from labor interests and factory workers despite massive protests and outcry from now-deposed Socialist politicians who ushered in the shorter labor period.

[JURIST] CBS-10 TV in Tampa is reporting that US District Judge James Whittemore has ended this afternoon's hearing on Terri Schiavo's parents' petition for the re-insertion of her feeding tube pending a federal hearing of her case without making a ruling or even setting a timeframe for a ruling. Attorneys appearing before Judge Whittemore made impassioned arguments both about the likelihood of the Schindlers' success on the merits in any federal case involving Schiavo and the constitutionality of legislation passed early this morning in Congress and signed by the President which purported to give the federal courts jurisdiction to review the matter.5:17 PM - Michael Schiavo attorney George Felos told reporters outside the courtroom that he was very pleased with the arguments, that the judge was taking the arguments presented to him very carefully, and that he would rule in the very near future. He said Judge Whittemore had been given materials to consider and he praised the constitutional system for allowing judges to consider the law immune from public pressure. He indicated he was hopeful that judge would recognize there was no possiblitity that the Schindlers could prevail, and claimed it was obvious from the judge's questioning that there was no federal right for the parents to invoke.A lawyer for the Schindlers said that they expected the judge to take some time to review materials and that he was sensitive to the time limitations involved.7:15 PM - Bloomberg has a fully-updated story here.

[JURIST] In Monday's environmental law news, facing a declining tiger population, India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [official website] has banned gifts of live tigers to foreign dignitaries, established a wildlife crime prevention bureau, and created a taskforce of forest officials, wildlife experts and community leaders to report on the status of the tiger population. There are an estimated 2,000-4,000 tigers left in India, which account for about half of the world's tiger population. There had been over 40,000 tigers in India a century ago, but they have been killed largely for trophies and their supposed medicinal qualities. Reuters has the full story.In other news,
[JURIST] A UK government minister said Monday that Camilla Parker Bowles [BBC profile] can become queen after Prince Charles [official website] ascends to the British throne. Christopher Leslie, minister responsible for the UK Department for Constitutional Affairs [official website] answered a lawmaker's written question about Parker Bowles' status by saying the marriage of Charles and Parker Bowles would not be "morganatic" where a spouse of inferior status has no claim to the standing of the other, and that legislation would be needed to deny Parker Bowles the title of queen. Indeed, such legislation would have to be passed in every country, including Australia and Canada, where the British sovereign is the head of state. When the royal marriage was announced, Prince Charles indicated Parker Bowles would only receive the title of "Princess Consort" if he succeeded to the throne. Until then, Parker Bowles will be known as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall. AP has more.
[JURIST] Estonian prime minister Juhan Parts [official profile] dissolved his government and announced his resignation Monday after parliament voted no-confidence in Justice Minister Ken-Marti Vaher [official profile] and a controversial new anti-corruption plan. Vaher's plan had called for a system of quotas for the number of corruption cases regional prosecutors would have to hear every year. Parliament felt Vaher's proposed quota system was similar to Soviet-era politics. Estonian President Arnold Ruutel now has two weeks to nominate a new prime minister. Parts indicated he would attempt to form and lead a new government. Read Parts' speech dissolving the government. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Senator John Cornyn [official website], a senior Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sunday introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that judicial decisions regarding the US Constitution should not be influenced by foreign law. The purpose of SR 92 [text, PDF] would be to discourage the use of foreign precedent in deciding constitutional issues unless the foreign decision cited to the original meaning of the Constitution of the United States. Read the Cornyn press release. The use of foreign precedent, especially in the US Supreme Court, has in recent years became a source of controversy, with leading justices taking different sides on the issue [transcript of Scalia-Breyer conversation, January 2005]. International precedents and trends recently played a role in the Court's ruling in Roper v. Simmons, which struck down the death penalty for juveniles [JURIST report]. Cornyn's resolution has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for further study.
[JURIST] Iceland's parliament [official website, English version] voted unanimously Monday to grant citizenship to US chess champion Bobby Fischer [Wikepedia profile]. Fischer is currently being detained in Japan, and faced possible deportation to the US, where he is wanted for violating international sanctions by playing a chess match in Yugoslavia.

[JURIST] The White House on Monday insisted that the special legislation [PDF text] passed by Congress in a matter of hours over the weekend regarding review of Terri Schiavo's case [JURIST news archive] was not intended as a precedent for Congress to step into future battles over the fate of simiilarly disabled or ill patients. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist [official website] had previously said the law would not affect state assisted suicide laws (as provided for in s. 6 of the legislation) nor serve as a precedent for future legislation (as provided for in s. 7). White House press secretary Scott McClellan commented that it was unclear if President Bush would be willing to sign a broader bill covering right-to-die issues. McClellan's comments to the press this morning on the Schiavo case are available here. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Pew Hispanic Center [official site], a private research group, released a report [text] Monday documenting recent massive growth of the illegal immigrant population in the United States. A 23 percent increase was reported in the population of undocumented residents over the past four years, from 8.4 to 10.3 million people. The report largely attributes the increase to the rising numbers of unauthorized Mexicans entering the US. AP has more.
[JURIST] Human Rights Watch [advocacy site] alleged Monday in a new report that Russian kidnappings of civilians in Chechnya have become so widespread as to constitute a "crime against humanity." The report says that thousands of people have "disappeared" since the 1999 start of the Chechnyan conflict with the full knowledge of Russian authorities. Chechnya's Moscow-backed president, Alu Alkhanov [BBC profile], responded in an address to the Council of Europe, saying that the reports of kidnappings were exaggerated and that "the republic's leadership has been working really hard to improve the situation. And the situation has been improving." Part of the Human Rights Watch report chastises the EU for failing to introduce a resolution on Chechnya at the UN Commission on Human Rights [official site] this year. EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner defended the EU's position, stating that the EU was deeply concerned about the abuses, but preferred to resolve the conflict through economic assistance.

[JURIST] UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan [JURIST Newsmaker news archive] addressed the General Assembly Monday on his plans for UN and international reform. Annan stressed that the proposals in his report entitled In Larger Freedom [official text], released Sunday, were a complete package and that other reforms should not be added piecemeal. Institutionally, Annan called for expanding the membership of the Security Council from 15 to 24 members, and establishing a new Human Rights Council to replace the current Commission on Human Rights [official site], which Annan characterized as an organization of "declining credibility and professionalism." He also emphasized the importance of greater transparency in Secretariat operations. The UN News Service has more.
[JURIST] US District Judge James Whittemore of the Middle District of Florida has scheduled a hearing for 3 PM Monday afternoon [PDF order] to consider a request to have feeding resumed for Terri Schiavo [JURIST news archive].

[JURIST] Senior anti-terrorism experts in the Australian police are lobbying for the establishment of a court that would deal exclusively with terrorist trials and include such elements of a French-style civil law system [overview of French anti-terrorism law and procedure, in French] as judicial interrogation in order to handle terrorism cases more effectively. Australian Attorney-General Philip Ruddock [official homepage] confirmed Sunday that the Government was aware of the proposal for a "separate judicial stream," but he noted that "the only way we could do it would be to establish a separate commonwealth criminal court," which would need to address matters broader than terrorism alone in order to justify the additional cost. Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty [official profile], who has backed the proposal, also recently argued that a terrorist court should be taken offshore and administered by an international body. The Australian has more.
[JURIST] The US Securities and Exchange Commission has announced that communications and media giant Time Warner [corporate website] has agreed to pay $300 million to settle charges alleging that it overstated online advertising revenue and the number of its AOL Internet subscribers and committed other securities frauds. The Commission's AOL complaint asserted that
The company artificially inflated the number of AOL subscribers in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2001 so it could report to the investment community that it had met its new subscriber targets, an important metric the market used to evaluate AOL (both before and after its merger with Time Warner).
[JURIST] A former lawyer for Australian terror suspect David Hicks [defense advocacy website] told a major law conference in Australia Monday that US military videotapes from the terror detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, would be "as explosive as anything from Abu Ghraib" if they were ever released. In his address to LawAsia Downunder 2005 [conference website] Stephen Kenny said that there are some 500 hours of video of actions by the Immediate Reaction Force (IRF) at the camp who were responsible for prisoner control, and that the ACLU was pressing for release of the tapes after a journalist broke the story that a secret review of 20 hours of recordings by a military panel found 10 instances of substantive prisoner abuse. AAP has more. The existence of the tapes first came to light in news reports [AP report] in February; the military panel claimed in a summary report, however, that despite having questions about mistreatment of detainees it had found no evidence of systemic detainee abuse [JURIST report].
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a case on whether President Bush overstepped his authority when he appointed a federal judge while the Senate was on a short recess. Three appeals sought to challenge the temporary appointment of former Alaba,a Attorney General William Pryor [court profile] to the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit [official website] while the Senate was on a brief break, a move which appellees claimed was an attempt by the President to avoid Senate confirmation hearings for his nominee. The Court's refusal to address presidential power in judicial appointments could be significant with potential openings on the Supreme Court looming. Justice John Paul Stevens [OYEZ profile], writing with respect to the denial of certiorari [PDF], said that the ruling should not be interpreted as bearing on the merits of the issues involved, and expressed his wish that the Court might be willing to hear the case once all appeals have been exhausted. The cases are Miller v. United States, 04-38, Franklin v. United States, 04-5858, and Evans v. Stephens, 04-828. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court Monday declined to hear an appeal from alleged "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui [JURIST Newsmaker news archive], the only person formally charged by the US government with criminal complicity in the September 11 terror attacks. Moussaoui had challenged a US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal ruling [PDF] that the government could insist on the death penalty in the case and could deny Moussaoui direct access to possible exculpatory evidence that might be provided by other high-value terror suspects in US custody. The holding clears the way for Moussaoui's trial in the US Eastern District of Virginia [Moussaoui case materials]. According to Goldstein & Howe's SCOTUSblog, the Court made no new certiorari grants in its Monday order list [not yet available online].
[JURIST] President Askar Akayev of Kyrgyzstan [official profile] ordered the country's Central Election Commission and Supreme Court Monday to investigate allegations of fraud in the country's recent parliamentary elections that have spawned weeks of protests from opposition groups. The original elections were held in late February and run-off elections were held March 13. Both sets of elections are alleged to have been rife with fraud and serious flaws according to international observers [OSCE observers report on February 27 poll; PDF]. Severe protests have been held since the announcement of the election results, culminating in the gathering of 17,000 people over the weekend in Jalal-Abad, who burned down the police headquarters, freed detained protestors, and occupied the Govenor's office. Akayev, facing strong calls for his resignation, has ordered the CEC and the Supreme Court to begin their investigations in areas with the strongest public outcry, and to ensure that all of the steps of their investgations are made public.

[JURIST] Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist [JURIST Newsmakers archive] returns to the US Supreme Court bench Monday to hear arguments, according to a Court spokesperson. Rehnquist is planning to attend the two arguments scheduled for this morning [JURIST agenda] in his first public appearance at the Court in 5 months. He has been on a severely limited schedule since he was hospitalized in October; he announced shortly thereafter that he had thyroid cancer. Rehnquist presided over a 2-hour US Judicial Conference [official website] session last Monday, and attendees reported he was in good humor and was moving under his own power. Rehnquist's illness has raised the possibility of his imminent retirement and prompted rampant speculation on who President Bush might nominate to succeed him as Chief Justice and fill the vacant spot on the high court bench. AP has more.
[JURIST] Ansyaad Mbai, the head of the Counterterrorism division of Indonesia's Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs, announced Monday that the Indonesian government [official website in Bahasa Indonesian] plans to outlaw the al-Qaida-linked radical Islamic group Jemaah Islamiyah [MIPT profile] implicated in the 2002 Bali nightclub attacks. Mbai said that sensitive political considerations meant that the actual banning of the group - whose name roughly translates to "Islamic Community" - will not occur immediately, but he said that Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono [official profile in Bahasa Indonesian] was very concerned about the damaged caused by the alleged terrorist group and that their outlawing would give Indonesian police the tools they needed to capture members of the organization. Some pro-Islamic state groups in Indonesia have expressed concern that the targeting of Jemaah Islamiyah may lead to the criminalization of anyone seeking to create an Islamic state in Indonesia. Jemaah Islamiyah's alleged spiritual leader, Abu Bakar Ba'asyir [BBC profile], was recently sentenced to 30 months incarceration [JURIST report] for his role in the conspiracy to commit the Bali bombings.

[JURIST] An unnamed lieutenant in the US Navy special forces SEALs [official military website] begins his court-martial Monday on charges of assault, dereliction of duty and conduct unbecoming an officer stemming from the treatment of Iraqi prisoner Manadel al-Jamadi [Wikipedia profile], whose dead ice-packed body appeared in a number of Abu Ghraib [JURIST Hot Topic news archive] photos last year. Al-Jamadi was captured by SEALs on orders from the Central Intelligence Agency and allegedly knew the location of a large cache of explosives in Iraq. A few hours after they turned al-Jamadi him over to CIA handlers, he was dead. The unnamed SEAL officer is alleged to have directly participated in, and to have allowed his men to abuse al-Jamadi on the return trip from his abduction. The Navy is taking extraordinary steps to preserve the anonymity of the charged officer. He will be referred to in court only by the first letter of his last name. AP has more.

[JURIST] President Bush early Monday morning signed legislation [text] passed by the US Senate [JURIST report] and then the House [JURIST report] that would allow the federal courts to review the case of brain-damaged Florida woman Terri Schiavo [JURIST news archive], whose feeding tube was removed under a court order Friday. The President said in a statement [White House press release]:
In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life. This presumption is especially critical for those like Terri Schiavo who live at the mercy of others. I appreciate the bipartisan action by the Members of Congress to pass this bill. I will continue to stand on the side of those defending life for all Americans, including those with disabilities.
[JURIST] After over three hours of debate ending after midnight Monday morning, the US House of Representatives passed a bill [JURIST text of S. 686] that will allow a federal judge to conduct a de novo review of the Terri Schiavo case to determine whether the withholding of food, water or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life violates the US Constitution or any federal laws. The bill was passed by the Senate Sunday afternoon [JURIST report] and will now go to President Bush for his signature. Schiavo's feeding tube was removed Friday [JURIST report] by her husband.

Horoscope | Bernice Bede Osol,
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — It looks like you're about to make some critical changes in your life that will spill over and have a positive effect on your financial affairs. In doing so, there's a chance you'll be able to fulfill a long-standing desire.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Do your very best not to disrupt anything that is presently running smoothly, because you could be all thumbs and make matters worse. Let your motto be: "If it isn't broke, don't fix it."
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You're asking for all kinds of trouble if you deliberately play up to someone in order to make another person whom you don't like jealous. Don't play games.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Only if you are tenacious and consistent will success be within your reach. However, the odds are against you if you try to gamble your way to greener pastures.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Friends and associates aren't likely to have any respect for your ideas or opinions if they sense that you have little regard for theirs. Be sure to keep an open mind and avoid premature judgment.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don't allow anybody who's notorious for being unable to manage his or her resources to handle your own. This error in judgment could turn out to be very expensive.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Things you envision can be brought into being, if you work at it. However, this does not mean you could succeed teaming up with another. Go it alone.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — You won't mind going out of your way to assist a friend. However, it will really irk you if the recipient has a total lack of acknowledgement and appreciation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If your old standbys aren't available to do something fun with you, it might be best to go it alone. Involvements with substitutes aren't likely to work out too well.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Once you successfully have achieved something, let it go and move on to something new. If you keep trying to improve it, you could unravel your own accomplishment.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Your keen imagination can be a very big plus, provided you remain positive and channel it constructively. Once you start to think negatively, it will be a different story.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Avoid any speculative involvements, especially those that require you have to dip into your savings in order to participate. Chances are what starts out wrong will end up wrong.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — This might not be one of your better days for decision-making, but what could make it even worse is that the persons to whom you go for counsel could be even more inept than you.

There is no easy solution for public safety vehicles trying to access in Royal Oak during the Woodward Dream Cruise, officials say.
Law enforcers and ambulance drivers do their best to avoid Woodward Avenue during the event — which is expected to attract 40,000 classic cars Saturday — and would have to rely on their lights and sirens, along with the common sense of other motorists, to get through should an emergency occur on the historic roadway.
"I do think, generally speaking, there is definitely a blind spot that the hospital is right there," said Laurie Thiel, CEO of Alliance Mobile Health, which provides ambulance service to Berkley, Oak Park, Huntington Woods, Beverly Hills and Troy. "There is not a clear-cut plan that gets put into place. We handle it internally."
Emergency responses in Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Ferndale and Royal Oak are handled by the cities' fire departments as well as various other contract companies, such as Star EMS.
Thiel said Alliance Mobile Health's drivers do their best to stay off Woodward during the Dream Cruise, instead taking back routes along Greenfield and other mile roads, and through subdivisions during non-emergencies.
"If it is an emergency and we're stuck on Woodward, we'll activate our lights and sirens and do our best to move all the way to the left- or the right-hand side and hope people will push to (the opposite direction)," she said. "If we have to do a little curb creep, we will."
In most of the nine communities along the 16-mile Dream Cruise route, spectators are prohibited from the median to allow access for emergency vehicles, if needed. The exception is in Ferndale, where spectators are allowed in the median due to narrow sidewalks, the city's Special Events Director Michael Lary wrote in an e-mail to Patch.
"No tents or other obstructions (are) allowed," Lary wrote. "Only chairs and blankets."
In Berkley, Deputy Director Robert North said Coolidge Highway and Greenfield Road serve as alternate routes to the hospital during the cruise.
The department also places "no parking" signs along the fire hydrant side of neighborhood streets between 11 and 12 Mile Roads to provide for emergency vehicle access, according to North.
"Unfortunately, sometimes, people steal the signs, throw them in their trunk and park there," he said.
"It's all about being able to provide response to the community and the event," North said. "We have to have the ability to get in there and get out."
Lt. Bill Cudney said Coolidge Highway also is the best route for residents who need to drive themselves to the hospital Saturday.
"Woodward is going to be a nightmare," he said.
While it might be tricky for for emergency vehicles to get to Beaumont, they will have normal access once they arrive, Beaumont Health System Media Relations & Communications Specialist Angela Blazevski wrote in an e-mail to Patch.
"Even though it's really hectic for the weekend, we will have normal operations," she wrote.
Due to "severe traffic delays" expected Friday and Saturday, Blazevski wrote, the hospital's employees have been encouraged to plan extra commute time and alternate routes, such as the following: "Instead of Woodward Ave., exit I-696 at Greenfield and go north to Thirteen Mile Road. Then head east on Thirteen Mile Road and enter Beaumont using the West staff/receiving entrance."
She added that there also will be road closures near the hospital this week.
"Woodward Avenue will close for a couple of hours at 10 p.m. on Friday and 9 p.m. on Saturday while police clear cruisers from the road," she wrote. "During that time, the Thirteen Mile Road and Woodward intersection will be closed. If employees must cross Woodward, they will need to show their Beaumont badge."
The southbound lanes of Woodward from 13 Mile to Normandy in Royal Oak also will be closed for approximately 30 minutes on Saturday morning during the , according to event co-director Suzi Stock.
While the street will be closed to vehicular traffic at approximately 7:15 a.m.; the northbound Woodward lanes will remain open.
Fortunately, Alliance Mobile Health CEO Thiel said that while the ambulance company has responded to minor incidents during the Dream Cruise in past years, no "newsworthy" emergencies have occurred.
Ferndale Patch Editor Jessica Schrader and Royal Oak Patch Editor Judy Davids contributed to this report.

Aquarium's Ocean Journey building "tops out"
Peaks appear & one more milestone met for
April 29 opening
Tenn. (June 16, 2004) – The Chattanooga skyline that features
the familiar four peaks of the Tennessee Aquarium was transformed
with the addition of two new steel peaks emerging from the Aquarium's
saltwater building on Market Street.
Aquarium celebrated the "topping out" of its $30
million expansion that will add 650,000 gallons of saltwater
to what is currently the world's largest freshwater aquarium.
In addition, the grand opening date of April 29 and the new
building names were announced: River Journey and Ocean Journey.
Journey is the Aquarium's freshwater experience. Visitors
follow the path of a raindrop high in the Appalachian Forest,
through the Tennessee River system and all the way to the Mississippi
Delta. Visitors also encounter freshwater animals and habitats
from around the world.
to enhance the original experience, Ocean Journey is the Aquarium's
new saltwater experience. The centerpiece of the building is
the Gulf of Mexico exhibit and represents the Flower Garden
Banks National Marine Sanctuary, a unique coral reef system
in the Gulf of Mexico, where coral formations unlike any others
in the world occur. Seen from various vantage points on several
levels, the Gulf tank will be surrounded by galleries that will
feature unusual saltwater creatures from around the world.
Ocean Journey building will deliver exactly what our visitors
asked for – more hands-on experiences and more saltwater
animals," said Charlie Arant, Aquarium president. "Watching
the building take shape next door to our original building on
the banks of the Tennessee River has been amazing. But seeing
steel peaks emerge makes the April 29 opening feel closer than
Journey will be home to 10-foot sharks, fierce barracuda and
colorful reef fish gliding through amazing coral formations.
will feel as if they're diving in a coral reef teeming
with fascinating sea life – especially when they enter
the Coral Grotto," Arant said. "We've got
baby sharks growing in the quarantine room and the large sharks
are to be collected," Arant added. "Plus a whole
range of fascinating saltwater creatures will be arriving over
the following months."
Journey's Gulf tank will be surrounded by smaller galleries
that will feature unusual creatures like cuttlefish, squid,
jellyfish and a giant spider crab.
begin their tour by traveling up an escalator to the top of
the building, where they'll be enveloped by natural light
streaming in through a glass curtain that showcases the natural
beauty of the Tennessee River and the mountains beyond. Under
the 30-foot-high sunlit peaks is an area that richly engages
all the senses with many levels of discovery.
Journey's top level will feature a tropical shoreline
where visitors can get up close and even hands-on with live
animals like stingrays and bamboo sharks. Other tropical creatures
like colorful macaws and freshwater stingrays also will intrigue
visitors who enter this lush tropical paradise.
Aquarium expansion is a key element of the 21st Century Waterfront
Plan, a 129-acre vision that evolved out of a broad-based civic
planning process that capitalizes on our greatest natural resource,
the Tennessee River.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — ALBANY — New York economic development officials announced Wednesday a new round of more than $700 million in regional economic development incentives, mostly tax breaks, on top of $785.5 million announced last year, all intended to keep or create jobs.
The incentives include nine projects in Niagara County, including three in Lockport and one in Royalton.
The largest package this year is $96.2 million for 76 projects in the Finger Lakes region. Among them, it lists $5 million for Health Sciences Center for Computational Innovation, a partnership between the University of Rochester and IBM; and $5 million for equipment purchases at the recently completed Rochester Institute of Technology's Golisano Institute examining sustainability in product development.
Locally the City of Lockport will receive $516,000 to assist in the relocation and expansion of Trek Manufacturing to Harrison Place. The city also received $100,000 to help with restoration of the Flight of Five canal locks, although the city had put in a proposal seeking $2 million.
The YWCA will get $158,167 to help with expansion of its kitchen facilities. The award will fund demolition, asbestos abatement, implementation of energy conservation measures and construction of a commercial kitchen training facility.
A wastewater engineering study in Royalton was awarded $30,000 that will be used to complete an engineering report to evaluate the Gasport Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Other large packages are $93.8 million for 73 projects in central New York, such as $3.1 million for the Syracuse Community Health Center to establish a center at the former Superior Electric facility. Another $92.8 million was announced for 84 projects in the mid-Hudson Valley, with $3 million to establish the Cloud Computing and Analytics Center at Marist College, meant to help technology-based companies by workforce training and by reducing overhead.
"For too many years, top-down economic development policies have failed communities across the state and not truly invested in the unique resources and strengths of each of New York's regions," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. Strategic regional plans begun last year map a better approach, he said.
Larger regional awards from the $738 million total announced Wednesday are $91.1 million for the 62 projects in the Southern Tier and $90.2 million for 82 projects in the North Country. That includes $1.7 million to enhance broadband connectivity in Hamilton County, part of the broader goal of bringing access to all Adirondack communities.
Others are $59.7 million each for 86 Long Island and 70 Mohawk Valley projects, $52.8 million for 58 projects in western New York, $50.3 million for 84 Capital Region projects and $51.4 million for the New York City area. Among the city's 50 projects are $1.5 million for the New York Genome Center, a partnership of 11 academic, medical, pharmaceutical and other institutions, to create research space in Manhattan.


text: The best way to describe Anders is to say 'he's just such a ham!' And he really is! We ended up with Anders kind of by accident. He was at a shelter in West Virginia and his time was just about up. Boy, are we glad we took one look at his photo and decided to make him our third. Anders is definitely the comedian of the group! He's always doing something ridiculous to make us laugh. His favorite things are talking back, throwing himself down, wrestling with his brother, annoying his sister, insisting on sitting in your lap, and generally acting as much like a human as possible. We are so glad he's with us!

A glass-half-empty kind of person — or maybe a head coach — might look at the last 62 seconds of Saturday's Class A Loogootee Regional and see a few "careless turnovers" and "not great decisions."
But a glass-half-full kind of person — or perhaps a kid who just cut down the regional nets for the first time in his life — might see things a little differently.
"That was by far the best game we've ever played," said a keyed-up Garrett Vick after helping his Borden boys' basketball team to a 43-42 barnburner over Barr-Reeve in the championship game Saturday night. "Barr-Reeve is so physical. They're bigger than us and they're stronger than us, but we beat them. … That was so much fun! We're going to semistate."
The 22-3 and 10th-ranked Braves will play University (15-11) in Saturday's XXXX Semi-State. The Trailblazers, who are located in Carmel, defeated Baptist Academy 46-39 and Jac-Cen-Del 64-46 at the Martinsville Regional to advance to the semi-state.
Vick scored a pair of key field goals in the final quarter to give the Braves a four-point lead, 42-38, with just a little more than two minutes left in the game.
After that, things got intense and — at times — a little out of control.
After Barr-Reeve's Micah Bullock connected on an alley-oop pass from teammate Logan James to close the gap to two, Borden turned the ball over on the ensuing possession thanks to some aggressive defense by the Vikings (24-2).
Bullock, who earlier in the quarter kept Barr-Reeve within close range with back-to-back 3-pointers, was then fouled on a layup attempt but missed both with 42 seconds remaining.
Twelve ticks later, James intercepted a Borden pass and was fouled on a layup.
He, too, missed both free throws.
With 28 seconds left, James put Borden senior Billy Kirchgessner at the line, where the senior connected on the first of two, making it 43-40.
"There were just some careless turnovers and guys holding the ball too long and doing things we shouldn't do," Borden coach Doc Nash said of the final minute. "But our kids came through and found a way to win. I'm so happy for this group to get to experience something like this."
"Until Billy hit that free throw, I wasn't sure which way it was going to go," said Vick, before remembering what happened just seconds after Kirchgessner's foul shot. "Oh, but then that kid went to the line …"
That kid — James, to be exact — took a 3-point shot with 0.3 seconds on the game clock from the right wing and was touch-fouled by Borden senior Cody Bachman and had the opportunity to send the game into overtime.
"…so when he missed that first shot, that's when I knew it was ours," finished Vick.
"He's a tough kid," Nash said of James, who is just a freshman. "He's going to have a heck of a career."
The Vikings had only dropped one game this season prior to Saturday — a three-point loss against Loogootee in January — and was ranked third in the final Class A poll. They averaged 56 points per game and held opponents to an average of only 37.
Saturday, the Braves gave them a little more than they could handle.
After holding a one-point lead at the half, the Vikings could do nothing to squelch the barrage thrown at them by Borden Jalen McCoy in the third quarter.
After being held to just two made field goals in the first half, the senior guard unloaded with four 3-pointers from the top of the key in the third — one from a good six feet behind the arc.
"I knew my teammates needed me to step up for them," said McCoy, who finished with 17 points for the Braves. Fellow senior Michael Lynch scored 10.
Borden opened the day with a one-point win, 52-51, over Orleans (13-11) to advance to Saturday's championship game.
After falling behind 41-35 with 6:11 to play in the game, Borden went on an 9-0 run in just over two minutes to take a 44-41 lead with 3:51 left.
Kirchgessner started the run with a nifty bank shot around the basket and Lynch followed with a shot in the post to make it 41-39. Two Lynch free throws tied the game before a McCoy 3 forced Orleans coach Tom Bradley to call a timeout.
Borden never trailed again, although the Bulldogs cut the gap to one point on three occasions, including a Murphy Wheeler 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left.
On the ensuing inbounds pass, Bachman throw a football-style pass to a streaking McCoy, who dribbled twice and got pulled the ball back out. He then threw a pass to Kirchgessner, who tossed the ball into the air as time expired.
McCoy led the Braves with 17 points, including seven in the first quarter as Borden ran out to an 11-7 lead.
In the second, four different Braves scored a field goal as they took a 20-16 lead into the half.
Orleans appeared to have taken control with a 20-12 advantage in the third quarter, in which Trey Bradley scored seven of his game-high 23 points.
Kirchgessner finished with 13 points, three assists and three steals, and Lynch added 11 points and four steals in the semifinal win.
Borden went just 14-of-46 from the field, including 3-of-12 from behind the 3-point line, in the win. However, the Braves were 21 for 26 from the charity stripe, compared to 7-of-8 for Orleans.
It was the second one-point win over the Bulldogs this season for Borden. The Braves won at Orleans 37-36 on Jan. 25.

When Stephen Schubert announced at Gencon that all of the D&D Miniatures stat cards from every set would soon be available through the wizards website -- well, it came as something of a surprise to us. Not an unpleasant surprise, though. We're happy to make the cards available!
We started with the Harbinger cards from way back in 2003, and we're up to Giants of Legend this week. Now you can play with the big boys!
The RPG and Skirmish stat sides are split into separate files, in case you're interested in only one or the other (though we can't imagine why that could be -- we expect everyone to download everything and use everything).
Each week, we'll add another set to the shelf until we're done.
Best of all, printouts of these cards are legal for use in DCI-sanctioned tournaments. You still need official, legal miniatures, of course (which includes approved Chainmail figures and certain modified plastic figures). Those allowances and restrictions are covered in the DCI Floor Rules.
Links to these comprehensive stat card files can also be found on the FAQ/Errata page for easy future reference.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Pulitzer Prize winning author and historian David McCullough said much can be learned from President Harry Truman's character, courage, common sense and the ability to not let an ego get in the way of governing.
"He had the courage and the conviction to stand up for what he thought was right, no matter what," McCullough told a dinner audience Monday night inside the Oklahoma Memorial Union.
Truman, he said, was judged mostly on the surface. No college degree. No political pedigree. It was his high school teachers in English and history that instilled in Truman his commitment to learning.
McCullough's talk was the capstone on the University of Oklahoma's second Teach-In. This year's day-long event featured seven lectures and panel discussions on the Great Depression and World War II.
OU President David L. Boren said the evening dinner speech was the largest audience at a dinner in the university's history. The 2014 theme will be the Civil War, Boren announced.
McCullough, a two-time Pulitzer Prize recipient for his books "Truman" and "John Adams," said Truman's preserved letters and speeches were great material for the book.
"There was no ambiguity and he never tried to be like anyone else," he said.
McCullough said he studied Truman's early business and political troubles.
"Take a look at how they handled failure in their life, because if you're going to be president, you're going to have failure."
He expressed concern that young people today are not learning about Truman or that period in the nation's history.
"Don't assume that these wonderful young Americans know history," he said.
At lunch, Pulitzer prize winner David Kennedy delivered a noon address analyzing the key elements of American WWII strategy in an address titled "A Tale of Three Cities: How the U.S. Won World War II."
Kennedy compared Rouen, France, Stalingrad, Russia and Washington, D.C., to establish how the United States' reliance on strategic air raids was the innovative secret to success.
Joking that his students describe history as "one darned thing after another," Kennedy said, "I want all of you today to understand that for the U.S., WWII was hardly 'one darned thing after another' but a series of very shrewd decisions that ultimately won the war."
Kennedy also analyzed the importance of sage leadership in WWII, juxtaposing Hitler's and Churchill's reactions to Pearl Harbor to indicate the respective shortsightedness and accurate perception of the United States' military potential.
"An eyewitness reports that Hitler expressed excitement that Germany had an ally in Japan, whom he said had not been defeated in 1,000 years. Churchill writes in his memoir that he went to bed that night knowing the U.S. would join the war and slept the sleep of the saved," Kennedy said.
To solidify his attribution of the U.S.' victory to its ability to harness resource and strategy to forge new tactics and technology, Kennedy closed with a metaphorical image of a rudimentary Japanese balloon bomb passing a fleet of U.S. bombers — each with thousands of horsepower — in the jet stream.After lunch, inside the Paul F. Sharp Concert Hall at Catlett Music Center, Harvard law professor Noah Feldman discussed Franklin D. Roosevelt's relationship with the Supreme Court.
He said Roosevelt's gathering of industry, labor and financiers in an attempt to repair the economy was controversial. It afforded tremendous power to the president.
"Critics said that was fascism but, of course it wasn't fascism," Feldman said.
When the Supreme Court didn't back Roosevelt, he sought to pack the court with his like-minded appointees, even to the point of adding justices.
Feldman was joined later in a wide-ranging panel discussion with McCullough, David Wrobel, Christina Romer, Kennedy and H.W. Brands. The panel discussed and took questions about the transformations of the 1930s and 1940s in America.
McCullough said he remains fascinated with discoveries in American history.
"We hardly know the half of it," he said.
He admitted he approaches books like he does a journey.
"I have never undertaken a book about a subject I knew a lot about," he said. "I look at a book as a kind of journey."
Wrobel, who began daylong Teach-In with a discussion on John Steinbeck's writing, said the Depression forced intellectuals and artists to rediscover the suffering of ordinary people. He said that doesn't seem to be happening in more modern times.
All of the panelists discussed their favorite authors and extraordinary presidents, like Roosevelt, who presided during periods of significant changes.
"The person who seems right for the job isn't and the person who doesn't seem right is," McCullough said. "We have to remember exceptional presidents are the exception and they don't happen very often."

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday in Inyo County on Thomas Heng, the 31-year-old near Mount Langley in the Inyo National Forest.
Heng and a few others spent the weekend hiking up White Mountain Peak in Mono County on Saturday, camped over night and then headed to Mt. Langley on Sunday. Danny Cain, one of Heng's hiking companions, reported Heng missing on Monday after he failed to return to their meeting spot.
Cain dropped off Heng and two other hikers at the trail head early Sunday morning. Heng's companions took a different trail and reached the summit of Mt. Langley before him, Cain said.
His companions decided to head back due to stormy weather as Heng continued on to the summit. He was last seen in an area about 13,000 feet up on the 14,023-foot Mt. Langley, according to National Park Service spokeswoman Dana Dierkes.
One member of the hiking party who reached the summit was the last to see Heng, at around 1 p.m. Sunday, Dierkes said.
The unidentified hiker was on his way down and Heng was 1,042 feet from the reaching the top, according to Dierkes. Heng made it and signed the visitors' book at the peak, she said.
"We waited for him until dark on Sunday, but we didn't panic yet because there was a nearby camp site," Cain said. However, no one at the campsite or in nearby Lone Pine, Calif. had seen Heng.
"That's when we knew it was serious and reported it to the sheriff," Cain said.
Search and Rescue teams with the Inyo County Sheriff's Office found Heng's body Wednesday afternoon in the Old Army Pass area of the John Muir Wilderness area of the Inyo National Forest, one of several possible routes to Mt. Langley, Dierkes said.
Deputy Jeff Mullenhour, an investigator with the Southern Region of the Inyo County coroner's office, said Heng's body was found 300 feet from a ledge around 5 p.m.
Heng's Facebook page depicts him as an outdoors enthusiast, who enjoyed snowboarding and scaled peaks all over California and the world, including Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Aconcagua in Argentina and eight of California's "Fourteener" peaks (peaks that exceed 14,000 feet above sea level).
In his meetup profile, Heng described himself as "a very outdoorsy person" who "is never home on weekends."
A San Francisco native, Heng moved with his wife, Petra, to San Rafael a few months ago.
"He was very ambitious and always talked about how he wanted to climb all the California Fourteeners," said Cain, who went to Yosemite and hiked in Marin with Heng and Petra.
Heng was co-leader of the Bay Area Anything Active hiking group, and was an inspiration to those he led on hikes, his friend Christopher Isar said in an email.
"There are a lot of people mourning his loss right now. We love him," Isar said.
"I started this hiking group in April; Tom and I became close friends very quickly," Isar said.
Isar said he and Heng climbed Mt. Shasta earlier this month and spoke almost daily online or in person.
Heng hosted "amazing hikes all over California," Isar said.
"We started to meet in San Francisco weekly for dinner after work. His wife came along on some hikes and we all love her too and our thoughts are with her as well," Isar said.
"She is a loving wife, she cared so deeply for Tom. He was a loving husband to her. I miss him more than words can say," Isar said.
"Petra, his wife, tells me her and her family want to be alone right now, so I have been dealing with the many questions from our online community," Isar said.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Sobelman's Bloody Mary crowned with burger gets attention
Sobelman's Pub & Grill photo
Even in Milwaukee, the home of the outrageous Bloody Mary garnish, topping a Bloody Mary with a mini cheeseburger will get you noticed.
Dave Sobelman decided about a month ago to add a slider to the garnishes on the Bloody ($9) at his Sobelman's Pub & Grill, 1900 W. St. Paul Ave. It's skewered along with a chilled shrimp, celery, bacon, sausage and various pickled vegetables.
Monday, an article about it appeared on the website of the Daily Mail, the British tabloid. Tonight, a segment about it is expected to air on WISN-TV (Channel 12), on the 10 p.m. news. And ABC's "Good Morning America" is expected to feature the drink -- called the "Bloody Masterpiece" -- Wednesday morning, said Steve Schumacher, the pub's social media manager. Sobelman is scheduled to be on "GMA Live," the show's online version, shortly after 8 a.m.

AJ Bombers has been garnishing with a bacon wrapped cheeseburger for sometime. Maybe Sobleman's holds some Food Wars resentment, trying to one up them ;)Hide replies
...and apparently succeeding.
AJ Bombers Bloody is nasty!
That was my first thought too.
I agree with VW, the Bloody at AJ Bombers is awful.
never cared for aj bombers, average at best, as is most of the owners restaurants. Just not a fan...as for the food wars comment, i heard the owner of aj's cheated and the episode was to be cancelled, however the people at sobleman's wanted the publicity so they aired the show. everytime i drive by bombers, its empty,everytime i drive by sobelmans its busy....just an observation. some positive publicity for milwaukee at least.Hide replies
"heard he cheated' I love it when people say that.
Chuck, we hate in others what we see in ourselves. You yourself just posted a comment without corroboration.
A group of six of us went to go to Bombers a while back on a Saturday late afternoon and the place was packed with a 40 minute wait. I think they are probably doing just fine.
Lies Lies .... Joe never cheated and the show was never set to be canceled.
Yet another pathetic attempt at getting some publicity. Works every time.
My wife and I have been to AJ Bombers twice now. We weren't impressed after the first time so we gave it a second chance a few months later.
We'll stick with Sobelman's.
I've had better burgers around town than Sobelmans. Pretty overrated. Same thing with Bombers. They're both all hype.Hide replies
is one of those places where you lost your tooth chuck? just kidding, then name some so people can try these other awesome places you have been too.
Sobelmans burger was good, but as Chuck stated, overrated.
I have not and will not go to AJ Bombers becuse I hate the name.
I used to not be a Bloody Mary person, but when I went to Sobelman's, I was hooked. Best Bloody I ever had.
Chuck, name one burger better than Sobelmans. I'm talking about the double cheeseburger. Cheap in price great in taste
Oscars Pub and Grill on 17th and Pierce beats Sobelman's and AJ Bombers hands down. Try The Big O burger.
Here's my take:
-The amount of "crap" on top of the Bloody does NOT make the drink. Presumably, the intention is to actually ingest the cocktail after you clear the salad bar off the top.
-The ACTUAL drink at Sobelman's is locally owned and procured Jimmy Luv's Bloody Mary mix and Aristocrat brand vodka. Jimmy Luv's, in my opinion, is outstanding and is the piece that deserves the credit and accolades. As any amateur mixologist knows, the vodka barely matters in such a heavily seasoned drink, hence the Aristocrat, which is one step above lighter fluid.
And just to further fan the flames, everyone knows the Nite Owl on Layton buries both Sobelman's and AJ Bombers in the 'best burger' category.
Went to Sobelman's on St. Paul today to take our New Zealander son-in-law for a Bloody Mary as only Sobelman's can do. They were sooo crowded, there was a long wait, and the man at the podium, after hearing Paul's accent, told us to go to the Sobelman's on Wells. He called them and reserved a table for us (11 people) and, even thought it was a weekday, made sure we got our Bloody Marys, which at that location were usually only served on weekends. We had a blast! Thanks to everyone at Sobelman's for the awesome Bloody Marys. Paul posted a photo to his FB page, and the comments from his New Zealand mates were priceless! Thanks again :)

Seung Kwon Han
Korea International Trade Association
Seung Kwon has met politicians and businessmen from across the globe at the World Trade Organization and the G20 summit. But the Ross School's Global MBA Program provided new opportunities to expand his network. "My company is focusing on business opportunities throughout Asia," says Seung Kwon. "Meeting students from these countries was really valuable." The three-month Asia Session, where students live and study in China, Japan, and Korea, gave Seung Kwon an insider's view that will help him develop his company's growth strategy. The students toured key companies in each country and also were able to travel. "It was a tangible way to learn about the business environments and cultures," he says. The experience also solidified his connection with fellow Global MBA students. "By the time we came to Ann Arbor, we felt like a family. I know I will stay connected to them throughout my career." Learning to appreciate cultural differences among his fellow students was one of the biggest benefits of the program. "I've become open to new ideas and different backgrounds, which will help me better manage relationships and lead teams in the future."
Grace Hong
CBMC Corp.
Grace came to the Ross School because the focus on general management and strategy was the ideal way to diversify her marketing-based skill set. Plus, the 16-month Global MBA Program meant she could return to her family's business in the Philippines more quickly. "Ross offered a good balance," she says. Once she entered the program, Grace embraced the opportunity to explore operations, finance, and accounting. "Eventually I'll be leading my family's company, so I need to be strong in multiple areas. I will be able to make us much more efficient in the way we do business. I'm much more confident and willing to take risks." Grace credits her Cost Accounting class with teaching her to think holistically about her company's finances. And she says strategy professor Aneel Karnani helped her develop ideas for growing her family enterprise. "His Strategies for Growth course made me realize how all aspects of a business affect its expansion, so I need to be conscious of the decisions I'm making in every area."
Donghwan Kim
Hyundai Motor Group.
Before coming to the Ross School, Donghwan lacked the confidence to speak up in meetings or volunteer for additional assignments. Now he's a changed man. "I learned from professors and students who come from all over the world," says Donghwan. "I am confident I can apply this knowledge to my job." He describes finance professor Gautam Kaul, strategy professor Linda Lim, and marketing professor Puneet Manchanda as examples of how Ross combines theory with practice. "They are very well-known in their areas, and they bring rich experiences to their teaching. Experience and knowledge are a wonderful synergy, and I think Ross professors excel at that." Donghwan also valued the opportunity to learn from corporate executives who frequent the University of Michigan as guest speakers. "I understood what they were saying because the faculty had already talked about the theories in class." And thanks to the school's proximity to the heart of the American auto industry, Donghwan was able to tour facilities and develop contacts at Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. "I really benefited from Michigan's business environment," he says.
Joungwook Lee
Bobath Memorial Hospital
As a practicing physician specializing in age-associated neurological diseases, Joungwook saw an MBA as an investment in his future. He plans to transition into hospital administration, and wanted to develop quantitative decision-making skills. He also was eager to expand his knowledge of an industry that's poised for growth. "Healthcare in Korea is getting broader," Joungwook says. "The industry is going to require more professionals with business knowledge. At Ross, I got the big picture as well as the business details, which are required for true leaders." The Ross School's team-based approach to education was new for Joungwook, but he sees it as a valuable component of his MBA experience. "In each of my teams at Ross, my peers were brilliant and confident. I was so impressed by their qualifications." Initially Joungwook was hesitant to jump into group discussions, but he grew more comfortable, in part, because of his close relationship with his fellow students. Their support also spurred him to take classes in the University of Michigan's School of Public Health. "One of the advantages of the University is the large amount of resources outside of the Ross School, which I could access without limitation. That was a big benefit for me."
Akihiko Sato
Mitsubishi Materials Corp.
Prior to attending the Ross School, Akihiko oversaw production control for his division at Mitsubishi Materials Corp. But in order to advance in his career, he needed to understand more than supply chain. "I didn't have training in marketing, strategy, or sales," he says. "Ross helped me tie it all together." Akihiko says his courses in management and organizations prepared him to lead teams, while his marketing classes offered an immediate return on investment. "Before I came to Ross, I had no idea about branding. Now I know it's an area where my company can improve. Branding is not just an emotional concept — I learned a logical framework to implement it." He credits marketing professor Rajeev Batra with explaining the theory of branding in a realistic way. "His vast experience in the field provided a lot of real examples from real companies." Akihiko also enjoyed gleaning diverse expertise from peers in the Full-time MBA Program. "Ross has students who have worked at Google, Apple, and so on. I couldn't have broadened my perspective as much if I had stayed closer to home."
Chris Shang
United Can Co.
Chris traveled from his home in Indonesia to Ann Arbor to earn his bachelor's degree in engineering, so he already was comfortable with the University of Michigan community. But his time as a Global MBA student offered a new perspective. "I liked the idea of spending time living and learning in Japan, Korea, and China, while also being able to have the MAP [Multidisciplinary Action Projects] experience," he says. During the residencies in Asia, Chris logged some on-the-ground experience in countries that impact his family's can-making company. "We have suppliers that we deal with in those countries, so to study business there gave me valuable insights." During the 13-month session in Ann Arbor, Chris found that the atmosphere at the Ross School mirrored what he remembered from his undergrad days. "It's a positive, friendly environment," he says. "People like to help each other and get to know each other, too." Without the pressures of a job search, Chris pursued a host of interests through the schools' various clubs. But it wasn't just fun and games. "My time at Ross gave me the frameworks to examine business problems," he says.

Quote:Have you checked your collimation or mirror flop?
Quote:Check to see if the dovetail has any slop when putting the 8 inch on. Otherwise weird effect. Do you have another OTA to try and recreate the effect with another scope? That would tell you if it was limited to something with the Meade.
Quote:All other things being equal, I would have to look to a problem with the scope/dovetail in this case. As suggested, you could have a mirror flop issue or something else related to the mechanics of the Meade scope.
Quote:Tom-It could be your balance. I know you check that, but the C11 is much heavier so if you are balancing that setup without the MCX, wires,dew shield etc... the weight difference once you start imaging is not that big a deal. Meanwhile if you balance the 8" OTA sans all the equipment attached, once you put everything on the proportional increase in weight is enough to blow your balance.Just my 2cAl
Quote:Two possibilities in my experience:1. Dovetail. Make sure the main screw and safety screw are cranked down good, and that there is no play in the saddle and that the dovetail is not loose/flexing on the scope.2. Balance. Balance is extremely important to good tracking on the CG5, but this seems to be worse than any balance issue I've seen.I would also check to make sure the tripod/GEM head attachment is not loose somewhere, but why this would not show up with the 11 is beyond me, unless the greater weight is helping keep things together.As for the dovetail? Only one screw can be OK--most Celestron dovetails only have one screw up forward, but there are "outriggers" to keep the dovetail stable.
Quote:Tom-When you balance the C11 you are using 2 11 pound counterweights right? When you use the 8" do you keep the same 2 11 pounders and just slide them up the shaft? Try an experiment with just 1 counterweight with the 8" balanced. I know it sounds weird, but i can get better tracking with my C8 on CG5-AGST with just one 11 lb counterweight than with two...Al
Quote:Thinking outside the box here but I have had the wiring of the MCX pull my mount oh so slightly just at a certain angle for the OTA. This would be from the backlash/slop in the mount and my lack of proper wire mounting. It would only happen with my HD8, when I had it, but would not happen with my HD11.Just a thought.. You should see it in the live view though. It might take a few minutes.
Quote:The dovetail looks secure...but...isn't it a little narrow...or is that just my failing eyes?I would also make sure that the camera is secure when it is on the M8. It isn't flexing for some reason, is it? Dave's question about your cables is a good one...I've been bitten by that gremlin more than once...
Quote:Tom,It sounds like perhaps all things aren't equal. I think you have a variety of possibilities to check out here. I agree with Rod that the dovetail looks a bit narrow which could mean a less solid hold than the standard Celestron dovetail on the C11 (if that is what you are using).
