From staff reports
MIDLAND — Traverse City Central did better than expected Thursday.
The Trojans, who entered the Division I tennis regional here with three No. 1 seeds, claimed five flights in defending their title. Central finished with 27 points. Midland placed second with 21 and Grand Blanc third with 20. All three advance to next weekend's state finals, which will also be held in Midland. Traverse City West tied for fifth with six points.
The Trojans scored points in all eight flights and reached the finals in six.
"Everybody contributed," coach Larry Nykerk said. "You couldn't ask for any more."
Central and Midland were tied with 21 points late in the day. But that's when the Trojans took control, beating the Chemics in three head-to-head matches in the finals.
"It wasn't easy," said Nykerk, who was named regional coach of the year. "There were some dramatics."
Nick Yergens (32-8), a No. 2 seed at No. 4 singles, had the most exciting day with two three-setters. In his second match, Yergens beat No. 3 seed Drew Davis of Midland 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, then followed it up by knocking off top-seed Ben Walters of Grand Blanc 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(4) for the title.
The No. 4 doubles team of Spencer Kroupa and Michael Mendertsma (30-10), a No. 3 seed, pulled off perhaps the biggest surprise of the day, downing No. 1 seed Alex Jewel and Nathan Hout of Midland 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-1 in the finals.
Central swept doubles. At No. 1, Hayden Drury and Caleb Heimburger (36-5) beat Midland's Yoodong Hwang and Eric Mier 6-2, 6-3 in the finals. At No. 2, Parker Berden and Yani Beeker (35-5) defeated Grand Blanc's Josh McKenzie and Arth Patel 6-1, 6-0 for the title. At No. 3, Jack Seymour and Austin Wieland (34-6) topped Midland's Josh Hentschel and Brendan Doyle 7-6(5), 6-4 to claim the flight.
Cam Young won two matches at No. 3 singles before losing to Grand Blanc in the finals. Skylar Norgaard and Max Knoblock won one match apiece at Nos. I and 2 singles.
The Trojans won the regional last year with 26 points, but surpassed that total, thanks to winning two flights in which they were the lower seed.
"That means they're beating people they lost to before," Nykerk said. "Any coach would love that."

(NECN: Greg Wayland) - This weekend, hundreds of President John F. Kennedy memorabilia will be auctioned off in Massachusetts.
John McInnis Auctioneers in Amesbury, Mass. will hold an auction on Sunday for hundreds of JFK items, such as his bomber jacket and a pen the former president used to affirm the Cuban missile blockade.
The treasure trove comes from the family of the late Dave Powers, a Kennedy confidant and trusted insider during his days as a Congressman.
Powers also tracked JFK's fateful visit to Dallas in November 1963, and there's a never-before-seen photo of the motorcade to prove it.
The auction will be held on Sunday at 11 a.m. at 76 Main St. in Amesbury; however, if you can't make it there personally, you can sign up for the auction online.
Greg Wayland has more on the story in the attached video.

Obama Can't Win on Immigration
It's that time in the president's second term when he becomes a liability, not an asset. In the case of immigration reform, President Obama has no easy choices ahead. Given the option, Obama would clearly prefer that the immigration bill would pass, after a year spent bouncing from crisis to crisis. In an attempt to change the debate from the IRS and NSA scandals, the | Read More »

Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerouslyby Julie Powell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Julie & Julia, the bestselling memoir that's irresistible....A kind of Bridget Jones meets The French Chef (Philadelphia Inquirer), is now a major motion picture. Julie Powell, nearing thirty and trapped in a dead-end secretarial job, resolves to reclaim her life by cooking in the span of a single year, every one of the 524 recipes in Julia Child's legendary Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Her unexpected reward: not just a newfound respect for calves' livers and aspic, but a new life-lived with gusto. The film is written and directed by Nora Ephron and stars Amy Adams as Julie and Meryl Streep as Julia.
Powell needs something to break the monotony of her life. So, she invents a deranged assignment: She will take her mother's dog-eared copy of Julia Child's 1961 classic, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," and cook all 524 recipes in the span of just one year.

Marrakech Food Stalls
American writer Paul Bowles said that without Jemaa L'fna, "Marrakech would be just another Moroccan city." The square, which is translated as the Mosque at the End of the World, comes alive at night as foreign and Moroccan tourists, not to mention your average Marrakchi, circles around snake charmers, fortune tellers, storytellers, musicians and magicians. They are fed by over 100 food stalls which operate from late afternoon well into the night, adding a smoky haze to one of the most unique cultural experiences that one encounters in all of Morocco.

For almost 12 years if you wanted to know how to fix something in your home, or you weren't sure what that widget was that was connected to the freebis... you could listen to me on Saturday mornings on WSTC/WNLK 1400/1350 am and the chances were good I would come up with an answer or award you a prize for stumping us. Sadly, last year Sacred Heart University bought the stations and turned them into National Public Radio and silenced the local community minded talk radio stations previously owned by Cox Radio.
I hafta tell you over the last few months, I have been going through radio host withdrawal. l was not happy that there was no place for local programming nor did I know what to say to the many fans who were loyal listeners to our show when the would say, "Saturday mornings are just not the same".
It wasn't the same for me either... sleeping late, doing projects around the house and not being able to tell what happened.
There was no one to whine to when I would have a project turn into a disaster and I really didn't know what to do with all those T-shirts that say "I listen to Steve on the radio".
Depression set in. I moped around and finally my wife said, "go get another show already ! "
So starting Saturday, Oct. 27, on WGCH radio in Greenwich I invite you to listen to me once again whine and complain about all the work my house demands, and I promise I'll try to help you struggle through keeping your home healthy and safe.
I have a bunch of sponsors, special guests and each week we'll probably give away useful prizes for your participation if you decide to call in.
We'll be on from 7 am to 9 am, and hope that you'll listen live every Saturday on 1490 Am or streaming on your computer at wgch.com.
I hope to chat with you then... Around the house with Steve Gladstone rides again! Information you need for your home.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
MVP ballots will be revealed
For the first time, the Baseball Writers Association of America is making public the ballots cast for each of the individual awards for the 2012 season.
Each night, after the awards are announced on the MLB Network, the ballots cast for those awards are published on BBWAA.com. Thus, there is complete transparency in who votes for whom.
The MVP awards will be announced Thursday on the MLB Network in a show beginning at 5 p.m. CST. I believe the NL award is to be announced first.
Thus, if San Francisco's Buster Posey beats the Brewers' Ryan Braun as most folks are predicting, we'll be able to see each ballot cast and where the two placed. There has been speculation that some writers might move Braun down because of his positive drug test in October 2011, though he had it overturned on appeal, wasn't supposed to be public in the first place and had nothing to do with the 2012 season.
If that turns out to be the case, we'll see which writers unduly penalized Braun. Considering he had the best overall offensive season of any player in the NL and the Brewers fought until the final weekend for the second wild-card berth, if Braun is placed much lower than third on ballots it would suggest there was an agenda.
And, in the spirit of full disclosure, I will tell you that I and fellow Journal Sentinel baseball writer Todd Rosiak had the two MVP ballots in the Milwaukee chapter of the BBWAA. We will post a blog after the announcement is made telling you who we voted for in first place and why.
There are two BBWAA members in each of the 16 NL cities that vote for MVP, and so 32 first-place votes are at stake. Each writer places 10 names on his ballot, in order of preference.
Last year, when Braun won the NL MVP award, he garnered 20 first-place votes to easily out-distance runnerup Matt Kemp of LA, who had 10 first-place votes.
In the MVP points system, a player gets 14 points for a first-place vote, with second through 10 getting nine points, eight, seven, etc. Accordingly, how you align your ballot is important.

If you two didn't vote for Braun, well, shame on you.
I think Posey gets the benefit of the doubt basd on team resultsHide replies
The benefit of the doubt because their GM surrounded him with 24 better players than Braun had surrounding him? Horsesh!t.
I think Posey gets the benefit of the doubt basd on team results
I'm a huge Braun fan. But if I had a vote, I'd probably rank Posey first and Braun second. Braun had the better statistical season, but Posey plays catcher and his team made the playoffs. But it's hard to really argue with flipping them around.
But if Braun finishes 3rd or worse, I'll be pretty upset.
Choosing the MVP is totally subjective. Thinking a player used PEDs is as good a reason as any to downgrade someone, no matter how you came to that conclusion. Perhaps that isn't fair, but there you have it.
"if Braun is placed much lower than third on ballots it will make you wonder why." Are you serious? I will not wonder why; it will be bacause of a failed drug test. Anyone should be able to understand that.
Posey plays catcher, except for when he pads his stats by playing first base. He's an average defensive catcher and a complete zero as a runner. Braun would be my vote for MVP and it wouldn't be close.
And his team made the playoffs with the help of a first-half MVP Melky Cabrera. McCutchen wins the first half MVP. Posey wins the second half MVP. Braun wins the whole year MVP.
Posey wins. Meh.
Happy they made all the votes public and who voted for who. No hiding anymore for these writers.

After their set at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival in 2012, Artistic Director Josh Grossman called KCLR "scary good...a blast to hear and just as fun to watch." In September 2013, NOW Magazine listed KCLR as one of Toronto's 10 Local Buzz Bands Set to Break Big. And on October 15th, 2013 KCLR will release their fourth record, one that lives up to the buzz generated by their live performances.
Parkdale Funk 2: SIDES (PDF2) is a double LP featuring 27 tracks, 40 guest musicians and over 2 hours of music. Although it's a funk record on the surface, PDF2's track list highlights KCLR's strong jazz, rock and urban influences. The album is a culmination of nearly 2 years of work that was made possible by a crowdfunding initiative to which KCLR's fans contributed $26,000. PDF2 sessions began in 2012, and included contributions by Toronto hip hop legends D-Sisive, The Airplane Boys and DJ Grouch, as well as a live strings section and big band.
KCLR's first LP, Parkdale Funk 1: the Pillage of Bloor West Village, was entirely self-recorded, produced and distributed. Chartattack.com gave the record 4.5 out of 5 stars, raving that "the time, passion and heart that went into this record is undeniable and will blow your mind whether you peruse Toronto's Parkdale or Vancouver's Granville." Exclaim! Magazine raves that Parkdale Funk 1 is filled with "wickedly contagious grooves...truly smoking J.B.'s and Tower of Power-inspired horn charts, sick guitar soloing and colourful keyboard touches."
Throughout 2014, KCLR will be touring across Canada in support of PDF2. The band also has plans to release videos for many of PDF2's tracks, thus building the record into an even larger body of art and further recognizing the incredible support of their fans.
KCLR's pedigree as a live band is well-established, drawing comparisons to The Roots, Jamiroquai and Janelle Monae. The band has regularly shared the stage with major international artists including recent events with DJ Q-Bert, Spectrum Road and Blue King Brown, as well as an upcoming event with soul legend Lee Fields. These achievements have enabled KCLR to become jazz festival favourites around Ontario (TD Toronto Jazz, Beaches Jazz Festival, Aurora Jazz Festival, Jazz on the Mountain at Blue, Sudbury Jazz Festival).

Cumberland Times-News
Earlier this year, before the Maryland bear season and before dead bears started piling up on the state's highways, the Wildlife & Heritage Service told us that there were 800-plus bears in Garrett and Allegany counties.
Since then, hunters have killed 92 bears during a five-day season. Since then, the Times-News has tallied 47 bruins that were whacked and stacked by Detroit bullets on roads — Interstate 68 being the single greatest contributor.
I believe the agency when its biologists tell us that the best available science was used to estimate the bear population in Almost Maryland.
I have to believe, as well, that the best available science isn't all it should be. I mean, after all, the best available science is used to treat human conditions such as multiple sclerosis, but has a long way to go.
I'm thinking that the best available science, when it comes to counting bears, is in some sort of rudimentary phase. Of course all we can ask any person or any agency to do is their best.
Here is a down-and-dirty description of the best bear-counting science: bear hairs are collected and the DNA is identified and from that a population estimate is extrapolated.
Why am I so skeptical of the bear population estimate of 800-plus?
Let's say we confirm that by the end of the year 48 bears die from vehicle strikes. Add that 48 to the 92 legally killed bears during the hunt and you have 140 dead bears out of, lets say, 825.
That means 17 percent of the bear population has expired.
That is, by the way, a real healthy and sustainable level of mortality for a bear population, especially one that is growing at 12 percent per year.
But here is the catch. I figure that if hunters using 340 permits, and not using the help of bait or dogs, can kill 92 bears in five days in only two counties that there is a scat-load of bears out there.
Is that scientific? No. I mean I don't have any bear hair or DNA or extrapolaters, but I have a certain level of common sense in spite of what my mother said about it a bunch of decades ago.
Here is the other thing. The bear population that lives on public land is not being hunted very much. For one thing, it is most difficult to remove by hand a dead bear from the forest.
Only 10 bears were killed in Allegany County this season.
Within the square three-quarters of a mile on Dan's Mountain where I spend a lot of time, I have seen or photographed via trail camera 12 different bears. There are pert near 10,000 acres on the Dan's Mountain Wildlife Management Area that the bears act like they own.
I'm pleased that the WHS has expanded the number of permits and increased the number of bears that may be harvested. A further liberalization of those numbers would be appropriate for next season. Perhaps a certain block of permits should be designated to be used only in a certain county or in a portion of a certain county or on a specified public land.
Uncle Ted watch
This past April, Ted Nugent, "Spirit of the Wild" host on The Outdoor Channel and outspoken critic of President Barack Obama, told the National Rifle Association, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year,"
We know that Uncle Ted has many fans locally so we'll stay alert to any breaking news so that we can report to you this coming April about which side of the dirt Mr. Nugent resides.
If he is above ground, we'll let you know where he is being housed.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Norman High's hopes of a district championship took a strong, and likely fatal, hit with last week's 27-21 loss to Edmond Santa Fe. Despite that, the attitude in the Tigers' locker room is far from downcast.
In fact, the Tigers are pleased with how well they performed against one of the top teams in the state, even if they didn't achieve the outcome they hoped for.
"Our kids played a really good game," coach Greg Nation said. "That's one of the best teams in the state, and we only lost by six. We feel good about where we're at."
Where the Tigers are is in a position to host a playoff game. A loss by Lawton, NHS' opponent next week, along with an NHS win this week would guarantee the Tigers the No. 2 spot in District 6A-4. If both schools win this week, then next week's showdown on Senior Night at Harve Collins Field will determine the second-place finisher.
But to get themselves to that position, the eighth-ranked Tigers must first take care of business tonight against Putnam City West in a game that heavily favors NHS on paper. Putnam City West enters the week 1-7 and winless in the district. And the Patriots' defense has been the biggest culprit, allowing at least 38 points in all but one of their games.
That's good news for the Tigers, who will look to move the chains on the ground behind the triple option. Quarterback Zach Long and backs Imond Robinson and A'erion Hines are more than capable of taking advantage of any opening, and all have the speed to break a long run at any time.
With a win, the Tigers can get back into the win column after having their six-game winning streak broken last week. It also allows NHS to build some critical momentum heading into the final week of the season, with Lawton looming.
But that doesn't mean the Tigers can afford to overlook Putnam City West. While next week's game will likely be a winner-take-all, there could be a scenario where district points could come into play. That means NHS is looking for a hot start and a decisive victory tonight.
And Nation isn't worried about his team looking too far ahead.
"This is a mature team that's taking it one game at a time," he said. "Last week showed us they're more mentally strong than we were this time last year, and even more so than I knew. We don't have to work to get them focused."
The Tigers have redoubled their efforts after last week and confidence is still high, said senior Patrick Murray.
"We showed last week that we can play with the best teams in the state," he said. "We fought hard as a team and came together after the loss. We want to be playing in the playoffs in front of that home crows, and it's something I've never been able to do here."

The state fire marshal's office and Gloucester's fire chief have confirmed that the cause of the blaze that claimed the life of a Windsor Lane resident in late January was accidental.
State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan and Gloucester Fire Chief Eric L. Smith said in a prepared statement that 55-year old Kim Anderson, who died in the Jan. 26 fire at 4 Windsor Lane, succumbed to smoke inhalation and burns, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.
The fire originated in the living room of the one-story, one-family home, fire officials said.
"The investigative team has narrowed down the possible causes to improper disposal of smoking materials, combustibles too close to the baseboard heaters or an electrical malfunction of the baseboard heater behind the couch, but have ruled out arson as a possible cause," Coan said in a prepared statement.
Investigators could find no evidence of working smoke alarms in the home, and Smith said the fire and its accidental cause should serve as a reminder to residents in terms of fire safety.
"We just recently changed our clocks which is a great time for each of us to check all our detectors to make sure they are working," Smith said. "Working smoke alarms are your first line of defense in a fire, giving you precious moments to use your home escape plan."
The fire was jointly investigated by the Gloucester Fire Department, the Gloucester Police Department, State Police assigned to the Office of the State Fire Marshal and to the Office of the Essex District Attorney's Office. Assistance was received from the electrical inspector and from the Code Compliance and Enforcement Unit in the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Times West Virginian
Patrick White is getting jobbed.
There really is no other way to put it, now that college football is recognizing Michigan's Denard Robinson as the NCAA's all-time leader in career rushing yards by a quarterback.
It just isn't so.
White, playing for Rich Rodriguez and Bill Stewart at West Virginia University, set the major-college record for rushing yards by a quarterback by gaining 4,480 on 684 carries from 2005 through 2008.
The mark was unquestioned, unchallenged.
Rodriguez, though, left WVU and took his offense with him to Michigan, where he came across Robinson, a player possessing the same skill set as White.
And so it was he set about reinventing his offense, establishing Robinson as everything White was, except, perhaps, a winner. Rodriguez could not win at Michigan and was dismissed, moving on to Arizona State.
Meanwhile, this season, Robinson closed out his career despite suffering some injuries, gaining 100 yards on 23 carries in the Wolverines' loss to South Carolina in the Outback Bowl.
That gave Robinson a career total of 4,495 rushing yards — 15 more than White had produced.
Hail the new King!
Or was it Hail the new King?
See, against South Carolina, Robinson lined up at quarterback, running back and wide receiver.
Quarterback? He caught as many passes as he threw — one — and the pass he threw was incomplete.
Robinson had been injured over the final three games of his career, and that forced him to be taking handoffs from backup quarterback Devin Gardner rather than doing the handing off.
In the Outback Bowl, Robinson threw his one pass while Gardner went 18 of 34 for 214 yards and three touchdowns.
Those would numbers more reminiscent of, say, Brett Favre than Adrian Peterson, and last time anyone looked at a football lineup there was only one quarterback on the field at a time.
The reasoning being used is that Robinson was "primarily" a quarterback throughout his career, a ridiculous way to approach a situation in which his final 256 rushing yards clearly were gained when "primarily" not a quarterback.
The numbers of the two were incredibly similar:
Robinson 427-747 for 6,250 yards, 49 TDs and 39 interceptions. That's 57.2 percent.
White 507-783 for 6,049 yards, 56 TDs and 23 interceptions. That's 64.8 percent.
Certainly White's passing statistics were superior.
As for the rushing numbers:
Robinson 723-4,495, 6.2 average, 42 TDs
White 684-4,480 yards, 6.5 average, 47 TDs
Clearly, the edge goes to White other than the 15-yard edge gained by Robinson during three games when he wasn't the quarterback on the field.
This totally loses sight of what the record is supposed to be.
First of all, there is a clear distinction between quarterback and running back, even in this day and age when they have taken the quarterback out from under center and use him more like an old-style single-wing tailback.
In part, because of sacks, a quarterback's running totals normally can't match those of running backs ... unfairly being subtracted from rushing totals when the play was not a rush at all and could only become one through the QB's escapability.
What's more, a quarterback carries an intellectual load in the area of play calling and a leadership role that separates it from a running back.
Now it's true that Robinson might have broken the record easily had he not suffered a nerve injury on Oct. 27 and missed two games while remaining at quarterback, where he was averaging 126 yards rushing per game, but injuries are part of the game and always a factor in records.
Our problem here, perhaps, is one of semantics.
The argument made for Robinson receiving credit for the record because he was "primarily" a quarterback changes what the record really is.
If you buy that, you are buying that the record is the most rushing yards by a quarterback rather than most records by a person playing quarterback. What you are saying is that because he is known as a quarterback, he remains so even when lined up at tailback with another quarterback in the game and simply cries out as wrong.
Denard Robinson was a great collegiate running quarterback, but in the end, he came up short of gaining more yards on the ground "as a quarterback" than Pat White, and that's just the way it comes up upon further review.

Accommodating entertainment center has a small footprint to fit just about anywhere, yet has deep shelves to accommodate your audio and video peripherals.
Smart Furniture's signature line of modular TV stands allows you to create a continuous and scalable system of interlocking shelves that can be built around whatever media systems you have.
If at some point down the road you buy an additional DVD player or video game console, or perhaps you just want to add a few rows of shelving for your DVD collection, Smart Shelves allow you to add on to your existing unit- eliminating the need for a brand new TV stand.
Viewing assembly instructions requires Adobe Reader. You can download the latest version of Adobe Reader here.
When assembling your Smart Shelves, a rubber mallet can come in handy, but it can be down without any tools at all. Watch an example below on how easy Smart Shelves are to assemble and reconfigure.
Culp realized that people needed an easily adaptable furniture system that allowed them to reconfigure spaces to their changing needs. In a small workshop in a professor's garage, he set out to create a furniture system that was both simple to assemble and easy to reconfigure as needed. He succeeded and received a patent on his Signature Line system.
By 1998, Smart Furniture was up and running in Palo Alto, California. Smart Furniture relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2001, where Culp expanded the company and founded a local manufacturing, warehouse, and shipment distribution system for the company's Signature Line products.
Along the way, Culp's experience in the Peace Corps provided a founding principle of Smart Furniture: Help people help themselves. This simple but effective principle was the basis for a business model he called Design on Demand. Smart Furniture's Design on Demand model was created to give both residential and business customers the opportunity to design their own spaces and customize furniture products to their needs, quickly and easily.
The next step was to make the model come alive through technology on our website, Smartfurniture.com. Our website's designer tool, free 3-D renderings, and integrated Google Sketchup technologies combined empower our customers to design, order, and receive everything from individual units to interior layouts, quickly and easily.
The result was a revolutionary solution incorporating state-of-the-art design, e-commerce and fulfillment capabilities that can deliver orders from concept to customer within a week. Such a short turnaround time is unheard of in the furniture industry.
In addition to designing Smart Shelves and founding Smart Furniture, Stephen Culp is an alumnus of the Peace Corps, an active participant of the non-profit organization Chattanooga STAND, and a Marshall Fellow.
At Smart Furniture, we believe that customer service is what sets us apart. For those who know Stephen, it's not difficult to see why. Our customer-centric way of doing business can be traced directly back to Stephen's civically-oriented way of living. You can read Stephen's complete bio to learn more about his accomplishments (and non-accomplishments - see final paragraph of bio for a laugh).

Jacob B. ("Jack") Ukeles, founder and president of Ukeles Associates, Inc. (UAI), has been named senior consultant of strategic planning at The Jewish Theological Seminary. The announcement was made by Professor Arnold M. Eisen, chancellor of JTS.
UAI is recognized nationally for its expertise in providing strategic direction to Jewish communities and organizations across the country. Through its Jewish engagement work, it has helped communities, institutions, and agencies do a better job of engaging Jewish adults and children in being Jewish through policy research, planning and management projects. It has conducted thirty strategic planning projects for institutions of Jewish higher education, Jewish federations, local governments, and other major organizations.
"JTS is a vibrant institution on which many Jews in North America depend for leadership, ideas, and inspiration. The challenges the economic realities of our time have produced have also created the opportunity for innovation, originality, and boldness. We are extremely fortunate to have engaged Jack Ukeles to lead a strategic planning process to help us determine what activities are crucial to JTS's mission and growth. Jack is a renowned expert in providing strategic direction to Jewish organizations. I am certain that he will be instrumental in guiding JTS through a re-assessment of our vision, mission, and goals as we preserve the tradition of excellence that has distinguished JTS for over a century," stated Chancellor Eisen.
In accepting this assignment, Dr. Ukeles said, "I believe that the opportunity to participate in the development of a transformative strategic plan for JTS is one of the great community-building opportunities of our time."
Dr. Ukeles will be working with a newly formed group of "fresh eyes" who will fundamentally rethink what JTS does and how it does it. The group will consult with the various constituencies of JTS in order to identify new and compelling endeavors for JTS, always making sure these efforts can be realized in a financially viable manner. Composed of a cross-section of Jewish activists and leaders, the group will report to the steering committee of the Strategic Planning Task Force that has been established by the Board of Trustees.
For the past eight years, Dr. Ukeles has served as senior organizational development consultant to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).
Prior to establishing UAI in 1986, Dr. Ukeles served as director of community services at the UJA-Federation of New York. He was an active participant in the successful effort to restructure New York City's government in the 1970s, serving as executive director of the Mayor's Management Advisory Board. He also has served as chair of the city's Rent Guidelines Board. In the 1960s, Dr. Ukeles was deputy director for Comprehensive Planning in the New York City Planning Department.
An author and educator, Dr. Ukeles was professor and founding chair of the Graduate Department of Urban Policy of the New School for Social Research, and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. He is the author of Doing More with Less: Turning Public Management Around and numerous reports and articles. He was a Fulbright Fellow in India, and earned his master's degree in City Planning and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania.

Possums and Pianos: All About Me, with Everage and Feinstein, Opens March 18
By Adam Hetrick
All About Me, the new Broadway outing that corrals the talents of Dame Edna Everage (Barry Humphries) and Michael Feinstein onto one megawatt bill, officially opens March 18 at the Henry Miller's Theatre.
In addition to comedienne Everage and musician Feinstein, All About Me features Gregory Butler (Chicago), Jodi Capeless (Broadway debut) and Jon-Paul Mateo (The Wedding Singer).
Audiences can expect to hear classic Feinstein tunes and signature audience zingers from the Australian Dame. Feinstein also promised that "we will not only be singing together, but we have been working very, very hard choreographically to create a couple of memorable dance numbers that I think will be remembered on the Great White Way for many years to come."
All About Me features scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Peter Fitzgerald and video design by Chris Cronin. Stephen Adnitt designed Dame Edna's wardrobe. Rob Bowman serves as musical supervisor with orchestrations by John Oddo, music coordination by Michael Keller and additional arrangements by Glen Kelly.
The Broadway production is produced by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, Eagle Productions LLC, Jamie deRoy/Remmel Dickinson, Mallory Factor, Ted & Cheryl Lachowicz, Chris Yegen, Richard Winkler, Judith Resnick, Jon Bierman, CTM Media Group, Stewart F. Lane/Bonnie Comley, Michael Filerman, Barry & Carole Kaye/Marc Frankel/Ronald Frankel, Jon B. Platt and Christopher Hart Productions.
For tickets phone (212) 239-6200 or visit Telecharge. The Henry Miller's Theatre is located at 124 West 43rd Street.
Dubbed Australia's First Lady, Dame Edna is the invention of Barry Humphries, a successful character actor in Europe and Australia; he's also an esteemed landscape painter. Some of Humphries' theatrical credits include roles in Waiting for Godot, Oliver! and Maggie May, but his most successful outings have been as Dame Edna, a character he created in 1956. Humphries was given the Order of Australia in 1982 and was endowed with an Honorary Doctorate of Griffith University in Australia in 1994. The Dame found success on Broadway during the 2000 season with her Tony Award-winning show, Dame Edna: The Royal Tour. In 2004-05, her Back With a Vengeance played Broadway and earned a Tony nomination for Special Theatrical Event.
Feinstein last appeared on Broadway in Michael Feinstein in Concert: Piano and Voice at the Lyceum Theatre in 1990. His prior Broadway solo evenings include Michael Feinstein in Concert: Isn't It Romantic at the Booth in 1988, and Michael Feinstein in Concert, also at the Lyceum in 1988.
A five-time Grammy nominee, Feinstein is often credited with reinvigorating interest in the American popular song. The crooner has performed in concert halls around the world and on Broadway and now co-owns his own nightclub, Feinstein's at Loews Regency. His numerous solo recordings include "The Sinatra Project," "Michael and George: Feinstein Sings Gershwin," "Big City Rhythms" "Romance On Film, Romance On Broadway," "Michael Feinstein with The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra," "Only One Life: The Songs of Jimmy Webb" and "Hopeless Romantics." Feinstein most recently released a duets album with Broadway's Cheyenne Jackson, entitled "The Power of Two," based on their sold-out show at Feinstein's at the Regency last earlier this year.
Durang's works for the stage include Why Torture Is Wrong and the People Who Love Them, Adrift in Macao, Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge, A History of the American Film (Tony nomination), The Actor's Nightmare, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (Obie Award), Beyond Therapy, Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie Award), Laughing Wild, Durang/Durang, Sex and Longing and Betty's Summer Vacation.
Nicholaw earned Tony nominations for his work on The Drowsy Chaperone and Best Choreography for Spamalot. He also directed and choreographed the Encores! production of Follies and choreographed the Encores! production of Bye Bye Birdie and the New York Philharmonic staging of Candide as well as the Carnegie Hall presentation of South Pacific. Nicholaw recently staged the industry readings of the new musical adaptation of the holiday film "Elf."

This column explores the world of free software from the perspective of the GNU Project and the FSF. In this issue,we focus on:The Java Trap,GNU Classpath,development in Java, and news from the FSFE.
Welcome to another issue of the Brave GNU World. The focus this month is Java; we will look at the subject of freedom and, more specifically, at the efforts to establish a free Java infrastructure. Freedom in Chains? To judge from the number of email messages I received from irate readers in response to my discussion of the Mindmapping Software Freemind, I seem to have trodden on a few people's toes. The reason for the flames was a statement that Freemind, like many other programs, is thoughtlessly based on a non-free Java implementation, which endangers the freedom of the software.

Decision time on the Village of Lewiston's proposed sign law is coming soon.
Village planning board Chairman Ken Slagenhoupt said his group has finalized and approved the latest version what would become a restriction on visible outdoor advertising in heavy business areas of the 1-square-mile area.
It's taken working with the business community to make it work, he said.
"We understand their needs," Slagenhoupt said of Lewiston's businesses. "This sign law primarily affects them. So we worked with the chamber of commerce about it. We want to be seen as cooperative. We've engaged the business community as much as we can."
Designed to make stronger challenges against certain types of signs business owners can use to promote their establishments, the law has been on the back burner for months. It was first completed in August, but concerns addressed during a public hearing by various entrepreneurs and residents put Slagenhoupt and his group back at the drawing board.
With a second version complete and supported by the planning board, Slagenhoupt said he's expecting some tweaks before it's finally made law, but that the tweaks likely wouldn't be major.
Making the law reality, though, will require input from the village board, which would ultimately make the final decision. Mayor Terry Collesano said he received the planning board's latest version of the law Monday, hours before the group met for its last meeting of 2013.
So instead of a hasty decision, he asked the board to schedule a special meeting with Slagenhoupt and Zoning Officer Harry Wright at 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 6. When the meeting is complete, it could mean a new law will set standards for display throughout Lewiston's streets.
In other village news, Trustee Dennis Brochey bid farewell to his fellow board members during his last meeting as a member. Brochey, who won election as Lewiston Town Supervisor last month, will take his new office Jan. 2 during the town's annual reorganization meeting.
Meanwhile, Collesano said he's getting closer to making a decision on Brochey's replacement, which will be filled by appointment before an election for the seat will be held summer 2014. Collesano said he's completed six interviews, but will likely hold off a choice until the Jan. 6 meeting.
"They've all been very good interviews," Collesano said. "Men and women from both parties have come in. But I haven't made a decision yet."

We've officially rounded the last turn on the way to Sunday's Flying Pig Marathon. If the Pig's your first marathon– or even if it's not — the butterflies are starting to kick in right about now. To the rescue, I've asked some of my fellow Flying Pig streakers to share their tips and advice for getting through the week of tapering and, of course, the race itself. Here are today's tips:
Greg Doench: I suspect that I'm in the same boat as a lot of folks who missed workouts in January and February because the weather was so awful in the Northeast. I finally got back on schedule and was able to do my last long run as planned but it was definitely a slog–much slower and more painful than usual. The last two weeks I've followed the conventional wisdom and reduced my mileage each week by 50%. I've tried to focus on maintaining good form without paying too much attention to my original target pace. My goal this week is to figure out what pace I'm really in shape for, so I can adjust my race plan. Ideally, my last 4-5 workouts before getting on a plane to Cincinnati for Pig XIII will start at a very easy pace and build to a tempo that feels smooth and effortless.
Of course, if you're like me and you're still tempted to hit the track today for one final session of 800 meter repeats, you need to resist that urge. You'll definitely regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon–and probably somewhere near Columbia Parkway.
Rick Weber: Last year runners had to wait in pouring rain for the gun to go off. I don't know about anyone else but I hate to start a run (especially a 26.2 mile run) in soggy socks and shoes. Should we see a repeat of last year's conditions I recommend the following: 1) wear Injinji socks. These are the ones with the individual toes. I have found they help me avoid blisters in wet conditions. 2) Throw a couple pieces of duct tape over the tops of your shoes. The tape will eventually come off during the race (last year mine came off about mile 6) but at least it will allow your shoes to shed the rain while you're standing around waiting for the gun to go off. Hoping everyone has a good day on the course.

Marc Compeau, Contributor
I write about issues facing "Mom and Pop" entrepreneurs
My wife asked me to drop off a return at the post office last week. As I left the house I took a quick look at the label, hoping it was a United Parcel Service (UPS) return, unlucky me – the vendor had prepaid the return using the post office.
I knew what was ahead, the post office meant waiting until 8:00 (or later depending on the mood of the clerk), a long line with lots of rules; no cell phones, no credit cards, no overweight, over sized boxes, no talking, no chewing gum. And when you finally make it to the front of the line it is likely that you broke at least 2 rules. After your reprimand the government employee will then spend a few extra minutes doing all he/she can to up sell; Stamps? Insurance? confirmation? Signature? Next day? Saturday? Yesterday?
Results of this approach to customer service? Recent reports indicate a $3.3 billion loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 and expectations that the US Postal Service will run out of cash by October. According to some simple math that means there must be over $11 billion in the bank.
I tested the competition with a similar return to the local UPS drop shop. Store hours started at 7:00am, friendly clerks, yes more than one, met with with a smile – just dropping off? No up sell, no rules just plain old great customer experience.
Results? UPS reports a $2 billion fourth quarter profit.
In academia their is a new theory that is all the rage. Lots of brilliant minds sitting in ivory towers scratching their heads to understand the impact of this new concept called customer focus.
Perhaps we should just ask UPS to explain it, their customer focused approach has answered the mail when it comes to stakeholder expectations.
Wow some of the rudest customer service ever at the Downtown Los Angeles USPS located @ 506 S Spring St Los Angeles, CA 90013. The lady who is African American (sorry I didn't catch her name) is a complete nut job. It seems like they make you do extra work or talk in circles, ANYTHING to slow their job down which doesn't make sense when there's people waiting in line.
I mailed a small package (eBay order) using about 13 stamps I had laying around and I knew I needed additional postage as I've been shipping items for longer than I can imagine. Well she WOULD NOT let me buy the remaining postage unless I told her the exact amount I had already applied via the stamps. I was baffled because all it takes is for her to type in 13 x .44 (or .45 whatever the price of a stamp is) into her computer. But she said, "I cannot do that, YOU have to tell me the amount." I don't know many people who can do that kind of math in their head, it was clear she was playing mental games with me. This was all happening with 5+ people in line and she was the only person working. So I had to pull out my cell phone to do the math.
I can't believe she has a job. I did file a complaint with the USPS but have not heard back and probably won't – trust me, if you visit this location you will understand.
The funny thing is – I should have purchased 13 stamps and then asked her what my total would be… we all know she would have been able to tell me the amount. My god what is this world coming to?!
I mean what if I was a senior citizen and incapable of doing the math in my head or busting out a calculator…what then?! I can't send a package then?!
Customer service does seem to be lacking in that department and I realize that's a very important thing. Just sorry the experience you had was that bad. Not every office in the country is like that (at least I would hope not).
Rudeness needs to be cut out of the market where customers are concerned. They want to use the service you a providing.
How was she supposed to know what stamps you had affixed to the package , as you say they were lying around the house . Is she to assume they were all the same . I think she asked a reasonable question you sound like a rude pig quite frankly
Every company has their positive and negative points. You have to balance the whole view of each company and not just one corner of it when writing reviews about customer service. I personally didn't have a good experience with UPS while trying to pick up a package. I got told (very sternly, I might add) that I showed up too early to pick up my package from when I was told. I don't think 15 minutes constitutes being too early. Besides my package was sitting in plain sight and all it would have taken is some "customer service" to give me my package that I came to pick up and I'd be on my way. You also have to realize UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays without a fee, their fees are higher overall and the travel time it takes for a package to get from one place to another about the same as UPS (Only cheaper!). In an economy where everyone is trying to save a buck or 2, USPS is still a better value despite the financial woes.
UPS is superior when it comes to customer service and could absorb all USPS parcels within its own network. The USPS needs to contract more with UPS. It looks like TNT will soon become part of UPS. Excellent management=results
Bill, you've got it totally backwards. The P.O. delivers not only our parcels but a large share of UPS and FEDEXs. It's called the "last mile" delivery and we do it because they don't want to expend the time/mileage/gas to go out to the boonies. I've been a carrier for 28 yrs. and have never seen parcels like we have now because we are picking up so many of UPS and FEDEXs. As our motto says, we not only "deliver for you", but now also for them.
I agree the HCR carriers and city carriers are the bread and butter for the Post Office and you guys work hard every day. I heard the USPS only receives $1 per package for last mile delivery. I hear UPS drivers say they drive by these Last Mile Deliveries on a daily basis. UPS and FED EX know there getting a great deal while USPS carriers are getting more and more work piled on them. USPS carriers do a great job! The customer counter needs to be improved, staffed appropriately with Happy people that care.
sounds like the same people run my local post office. I'm sure some posters will say the reason they're broke is because they had to pre pay pension plans for the next 100 years, or whatever that is. But I swear every time I have to use the local post office, I end up feeling depressed/mad/sad afterwards…. horrible customer service and attitude are traits of this organization and the result is the horrible finances it has as well.
This article was written by someone who has never gone to a US Post Office. No chewing gum in line or paying by credit card? Weird restrictions on shipping size? All false allegations. I've always had excellent, friendly service at my post office. And I've had bad service at UPS. More important: the reason the US Post Office is losing money has a great deal to do with a measure passed by Congress during the second Bush presidency, which required the system to fund its pension plan at a far more strict rate than private companies or government agencies. The result of that legislation was to put the post office immediately into a $10 billion hole from which they are unable to emerge. If Congress allowed the USPS to operate the innovative consumer services they would like to, they would be making a profit, but they have been consistently held back by free market idealogues in Congress who are determined to to see the system fail.
Why didn't Marc have his mail carrier pick it up at his house? This is what that service is about. The Post Office goes to every house. UPS pays them for this service because they don't to every house

MANCHESTER — Police said a Crow Island man called police around 3 p.m. on Tuesday after hearing what he thought were gunshots.
Police said the call was apparently spurred by "bird bombs," small devices used to scare off birds from a property.
There was no firearm being used, police said.
A Summer Street man called police Tuesday at 6:46 p.m. to report a number of items missing from his home. Police are investigating.
A resident walked into the police station Wednesday just before 10 a.m. and had some questions on restraining order practices; police said they fielded all the questions, but found no apparent violation.

The great inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil is one of the best-known
and controversial advocates for the role of machines in the future of
humanity. In his latest, thrilling foray into the future, he envisions
an event the "singularity" in which technological change becomes so
rapid and so profound that our bodies and brains will merge with our
The Singularity Is Near portrays what life will be like after this eventa human-machine civilization where our experiences shift from real reality to virtual reality and where our intelligence becomes nonbiological and trillions of times more powerful than unaided human intelligence. In practical terms, this means that human aging and pollution will be reversed, world hunger will be solved, and our bodies and environment transformed by nanotechnology to overcome the limitations of biology, including death.
We will be able to create virtually any physical product just from information, resulting in radical wealth creation. In addition to outlining these fantastic changes, Kurzweil also considers their social and philosophical ramifications. With its radical but optimistic view of the course of human development, The Singularity Is Near is certain to be one of the most widely discussed and provocative books of 2005.
The Power of Ideas
I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human
heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain
unfolding to success.
Nikola Tesla, 1896, inventor of alternating current.
At the age of five, I had the idea that I would become an inventor. I had the notion that inventions could change the world. When other kids were wondering aloud what they wanted to be, I already had the conceit that I knew what I was going to be. The rocket ship to the moon that I was then building (almost a decade before President Kennedy's challenge to the nation) did not work out. But at around the time I turned eight, my inventions became a little more realistic, such as a robotic theater with mechanical linkages that could move scenery and characters in and out of view, and virtual baseball games.
