Yes. Students must be evaluated and cleared — in writing — to return to play by an appropriate medical professional, as determined by your school district.
Regardless of your state's law, you do not want your child to be re-injured while he is recovering from a concussion. Re-injury can make a concussion worse and cause long-term disability.
It will depend on your child. You can promote recovery and prevent ongoing symptoms by following a "return to play" plan like the one below. Your doctor will customize this plan based on your child's needs, and your child will move through the plan at his own pace.
While bed rest is not necessary, complete physical rest is beneficial until symptoms are improved. Initially, your child may only tolerate light walking for up to 15 minutes. Your child should not do anything that breaks a sweat or causes moderate or severe symptoms to develop.
Your child may then participate in some light aerobic exercise (brisk walking, stationary cycling, etc.) as long as severe symptoms do not return during or after the activity. No weight training is permitted during this time. Your child should stop if symptoms develop. Your child should not advance to step 3 until he can tolerate a full day of school without symptoms.
Once your child is able to tolerate light aerobic exercise, he may advance to sport-specific exercise, including moderate jogging/brief running, moderate-intensity stationary biking, throwing a baseball and kicking a soccer ball. No head impact activities should be permitted.
Once your child is able to tolerate sport-specific exercise, he may advance to noncontact training drills and heavy noncontact physical exertion, including sprinting/running, high-intensity stationary biking, his regular weightlifting routine and noncontact sport-specific drills.
At this point, ask your child's doctor if your child is ready to advance to full contact play.
If you have questions about your child's injury, please contact your child's primary care physician. CHOP Primary Care physicians are located in more than 30 communities across Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Contact your child's primary care doctor for evaluation.

MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ) - When an ex-firefighter leaves a federal prison, he'll go directly to a state lockup to serve more time for setting a number of arson fires in northeast Wisconsin.
A state judge in Marinette County gave 29-year-old Drew Christensen a five-year prison term Thursday. That was a day after Federal Judge William Griesbach of Green Bay ordered a 10-year term for burning down the Klondike Community Church and two taverns over the past four years.
Christensen's Marinette County conviction was for burning down Jessica Miller's home at Stephenson, after she and another man convinced him to destroy her house so she could collect the insurance money.
The judge ordered them to pay back the insurance company almost $300,000. He also told Christensen to spend five years under extended supervision when his prison terms end.
A judge in Oconto County could give Christensen even more time on Monday, when he's due to be sentenced for burning down a mobile home and a garage.
A federal prosecutor called Christensen a "serial arsonist."
His lawyer said it was the only way he could let out his aggression, after he broke up with his fiancée and his brother died in a car crash five years ago.

— I have had many conversations with the inestimable Cheryl Heller about the meaning and purpose of "design thinking." She's a smart thinker and writer — not to mention the founder of the new Design for Social Innovation program at SVA. Where Design is Going, and How to be There is her manifesto for future designers, and it's well worth a read.

On September 8, Joshua F. Jacobs '12 MOL was a distinguished speaker at the New York State Association for College Admissions Counseling (NYSACAC) annual Student Leaders in Admissions Forum at Nazareth College in Rochester, New York. He is currently an Admissions Advisor at Niagara University.
His presentation, entitled "Tools for Becoming an Effective Leader," focused on one of his favorite topics: effective communication. "When we communicate – we speak, listen, and observe," said Jacobs. "The ability to effectively communicate at work, home, and in life is perhaps one of the most important skill sets that a true leader needs."
The Student Leaders in Admissions Forum is an opportunity for college ambassadors, tour guides, and student workers in admissions and their supervisors to network and learn.
Joshua was recently appointed a member of the ProZoo Board of the Buffalo Zoological Society. The ProZoo Board is comprised of a dedicated group of individuals whose main purpose is to raise funds and plan events to benefit the Buffalo Zoo.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag Trailer
I'm always excited to see more AC, but these trailers don't actually show anything. The Xbox blog had some info, like AC4′s been in the works for two years (wasn't AC 3 in the works for three years?) and I wonder how many AC games they develop at the same time. It's disconcerting how many different teams build these games, and it's no wonder they go from great to awful year to year. Will AC4 be another Brotherhood or a Revelations?

1909 Pittsburg Pirates Team Poster
Did you know that "Pittsburgh" officially dropped the "h" at the end of the city name from 1890-1911! In 1890, President Benjamin Harrison established the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in order to establish order in the naming of cities, towns, lakes etc. One of their first orders of business was that all cities and towns that ended in "-burgh" had to drop the h. The board finally relented and allowed the "h" back in Pittsburgh in 1911.

(Reuters) - Chipmaker Ramtron International Corp
Cypress, which initially bid $2.48 per share on June 12, raised it on June 21 to $2.68 per share — its third offer in two years for its smaller rival.
At $2.68 per share the offer is worth $95 million.
"We continue to believe the offer fails to reflect the company's strengthened competitive position, enlarged addressable market and progress being made toward expanding the company's product portfolio," Chairman William Howard said.
Ramtron shares were up 6 cents at $3.07 in trading before the bell on Thursday.

Styles of State-Building, Styles of Computations
November 7, 2008 03:00 PM
Ann Arbor
Room 1636 of the International Institute/School of Social Work Building
This paper looks at international intervention in the shift from India's first phase of dirigiste planning to its abandonment after the third Five Year Plan. The transformation in the style of state-building from its "socialist" avatar to its antecedent privileging of the native private sector and their multinational patrons, the paper argues, is literally instantiated in the forms of technology deemed appropriate to each of these choices. Different styles of state-building imply different technology regimes. To make this case, the paper examines the Ford Foundation's (failed) urban planning mission for Calcutta between 1961 and 1974, its use of computational techniques and statistical analysis for design, placing this crisis of urban planning in the context of the turbulent social, and political upheavals of the city in this period.
A reception will follow the event.

For the Edmonton Oilers the night started off poorly and got worse. When the horn sounded it wasn't a second too soon for the home team as the Blackhawks dismissed the Oilers 5-1.
Joel Quenneville had his troops dialed in to think defense first. When the Hawks stick to that rule they usually are able to generate scoring chances. For much of the game the Blackhawks looked like they were playing with a man advantage as Edmonton couldn't create much offense. The Oilers often pose more of a problem than they should for Chicago. Not so on Monday night as they were overmatched from the opening faceoff until time ran out.
There must have been a plan in mind when Edmonton had five forwards out on the ice for a power play early in a scoreless game. Elite players can smell a mistake about to happen and Jonathan Toews did just that. The Oilers Nail Yakupov appeared to be out of position and then turned over the puck. Toews pounced on it and made no mistake as he scored a beautiful breakaway goal.
Patrick Kane closed out the opening period scoring by putting in a rebound for a power play goal. In the second period Johnny Oduya scored after his shot deflected off an Oiler player. Andrew Shaw added a marker for the Hawks second goal of the middle frame. Jeremy Morin had a nice assist on the Shaw tally. Shaw then capped off the scoring by tipping in a Nick Leddy shot late in the third period.
Shaw played well and was always around the puck. Losing seven out of eight faceoffs is an issue. Unfortunately taking faceoffs is a sore point for Shaw as he often struggles at the dot. So far Shaw hasn't shown any improvement in that area unlike Marcus Kruger.
Duncan Keith picked up two more assists as did Brandon Saad. Both are playing great hockey. Saad is so strong on the puck for a 21 year old . It's scary for opponents to consider how much stronger Saad will be in two or three years.
The Blackhawks will travel to Calgary for a Wednesday night affair.
Joel Quenneville sort of smirked when asked if Antti Raanta would get the start versus the Flames. This could be the time to give Corey Crawford an overdue rest. Quenneville knows his squad should be focused as Calgary defeated the Hawks in overtime a few weeks ago at the United Center.
Al's Shots
Marian Hossa has missed the last couple of games due to a family situation in Chicago. Hossa is set to rejoin the team in Calgary.
Michal Handzus was back in action after being out for a month and played 12:57. Handzus also won 5 of 9 faceoffs.
It looks like the choice for Quenneville will be to scratch Morin if Hossa returns. Morin hasn't played himself out of a spot but is likely caught in a numbers crunch.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Logan Schafer hit a three-run triple and Johnny Hellweg pitched six innings for his first career major league victory in the Milwaukee Brewers' 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
Hellweg (1-3) allowed three runs on four hits. He struck out one and pitched around three walks to finally earn his first victory after flourishing in the minors.
Brewers relievers Rob Wooten and Brandon Kintzler each pitched a scoreless inning then Jim Henderson pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 27 opportunities.
Hellweg was the Pacific Coast League's pitcher of the year after going 12-5 with a 3.15 ERA in 23 starts at Triple-A Nashville.
The Cubs got solo homers from Luis Valbuena and Brian Bogusevic who fell to 16 games under .500 at Wrigley Field. With the loss, the Cubs dropped behind the Brewers for last place in the NL Central.

Jabaree Tuani and Kriss Proctor had much different football careers at the Naval Academy.
Tuani started from the third game of his freshman year and became one of the most accomplished defensive linemen in school history. Proctor sat behind star quarterback Ricky Dobbs for most of his first three years and wound up as the starter last season, when the Midshipmen had their first losing record in a decade.
After getting in trouble off the field earlier this year, Tuani and Proctor also exited the academy on separate paths.
Tuani graduated Friday, three months after the rest of the senior class, four months after he and three teammates he declined to name were found to be in violation of academy regulations that prevent midshipmen from having any type of off-campus housing other than to stay with a guest family.
Academy officials learned about the house after a party was held there the night of the spring football game in mid-April.
"We knew what we were getting ourselves into, and we knew we were putting ourselves at risk," Tuani said recently. "We didn't think anything like this was going to happen. We thought it was going to be a low-key, under-the-radar-type deal where we could just relax."
Proctor resigned from the academy around the same time, two months after he said he was caught cheating on a thermodynamics quiz. Proctor is now enrolled in classes for the fall semester at Boise State, where he is working as an unpaid intern for the school's No. 24-ranked football team.
Though on the brink of graduation, Proctor said he chose to resign from the academy rather than fight the honor-code violation because he wanted to start working toward a career as a college football coach and didn't want to become a Navy pilot. Proctor will have to repay the Navy the cost of his college education, approximately $160,000.
"If I didn't have to pay back that check, I would have had to pay back a life's worth of regret of not doing what I love," said Proctor, who is taking a full load of classes to get his undergraduate degree in political science from Boise State next spring.
When he learned he was not going to be able to graduate with the rest of his class, Tuani said, he was "very scared" he had risked losing his college degree and a chance at a military career for what he called "a rash decision." Tuani thought there was a "high chance" he was going to be dismissed from the academy.
Tuani, who is expecting to be sent to Japan shortly to begin officer training in surface warfare, said he chose to take his punishment because he didn't want to let down his family and the coaches who supported him during the remediation process and eventually came to his graduation.
The punishment included Tuani being restricted to the academy grounds for 45 days, marching in full uniform at 5:30 a.m. several days a week and then spending three weeks with the fleet this summer.
"I had to prove myself worthy again of being an officer," Tuani said. "Being an officer is all about decision-making, and our decision-making was in question."
Proctor said the honor-code violation "started a chain reaction of thoughts and [reflecting] and putting things in perspective about my future."
After being restricted to the academy during a spring break he planned to spend in the Dominican Republic — ironically, he was on restriction the night of the party at Tuani's house and didn't attend — Proctor said he began second-guessing his decision to continue with a career in the military.
"I was in my room by myself for a week and began to think, 'What would my life look like in a year? What would my life look like in 10 years?'" Proctor recalled. "Ever since my sophomore or junior year in high school, I have known I want to be around football. I always thought about after college football, I wanted to get into coaching.
"During my junior year [at Navy], I was selected to be an NFO [Naval Flight Officer], which requires seven to 10 years of commitment. I came to grips with the fact that maybe that I wouldn't start coaching until I was 30. I was kind of OK with that at the time, we were in the middle of football and you're not thinking long-term."
Proctor informed several of the coaches of his dilemma and after talking with family members back in California — including his mother, Sandie, who initially had trepidations about her son's postgraduate military commitment because her father had been a prisoner of war during World War II — decided to resign.
Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo got in touch with Hawaii coach Norm Chow about hiring Proctor. Assistant coach Steve Johns got in touch with a member of Chris Petersen's staff at Boise State. Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk wrote a glowing recommendation to a number of schools on the former quarterback's behalf, saying that Proctor had "developed into a well-rounded, impressive young man" who "can continue to be a role model to those around him."
Gladchuk concluded by writing, "He leaves the Academy with our very best wishes and every expectation that he will continue to be highly successful in the future as a well-educated young man with an indisputable competitive spirit. He is a winner."

How To: Restore Thrift Store Furniture
We've got a new project going on (with Blueprint magazine). In a couple of months the January Jumpstart Contest will showcase your best small makeovers. To give you a head-start, here are a few tips for restoring thrift store finds...
What to Work On: When shopping for thrift store finds that need a little work, go for items that can be restored without ridiculous amounts of elbow grease. Detachable chair seats aren't hard to reupholster, but a tufted sofa is a huge job.
Paint Wood Furniture: Place furniture over a dropcloth. Remove any hardware. Sand wood furniture. If you're sanding off an old coat of paint, use rough grit. If you're working with a bare wood surface, use a finer grit. (If the piece has a lot of paint on it you may want to have it professionally stripped.) Clean sanded furniture with a damp sponge. Use a coat of primer. Apply 2-3 coats of paint (we usually use latex). Make sure you allow plenty of time for paint to dry in between coats.
Reupholster It: Depending on what you're reupholstering, there are a bunch of sources for instructions on the web. Here are a few: "Take a Seat" in the Readymade archives is a great resource for reupholstering different types of seat cushions, this post on AT:Chicago has some good general suggestions, and this post from AT:LA has some great links for reupholstering a vintage chair.
Switch Out the Hardware: Unscrew old drawer pulls and cabinet knobs and replace them with shiny new pieces. For drawer pulls, measure the space between mounting holes and match it to your new pulls. For cabinet knobs, find a diameter that's proportional to your old knobs. We like the selection at Cool Knobs and Pulls.

I have a question regarding painting furniture with latex paint. My husband and I painted two dressers and two nightstands with latex paint and we are having the problem that they are tacky feeling and things are sticking to them. We sanded them, primed them, and painted two coats. We waited two weeks inbetween coats of paints. We tried a latex sealer on top (just on the areas where things would be placed) and it helped but there is still a level of tackiness is there. Any advice?
I have a question. Who painted that painting in the first picture on this post. I saw it in a fall color entry and fell in love with it. Where can I find it?
Another tip: I painted an old cheap desk I found at Goodwill. The hardware was an ugly, mottled brass color that didn't look good with the paint. I couldn't swap it out, though, because the handles had an odd size/spacing - nothing from the hardware store fit.
Frustrated, I took sandpaper to them and all the brass finish came off! Now they look like retro brushed steel or nickel handles, which is exactly what I wanted in the first place.
onion -- I instantly fell in love with the artwork too. I think someone mentioned the artist's name in the comments. It's J. Amundson and the site is http://www.jamundson.com/. And at least now we know where to buy a piece!
What brand of paint are you using?
I don't know what to say about the latex paint and tackiness. I've painted all my wood pieces with acrylic latex and I've never experienced that problem. The only time I did was when I used oil. It accumulates dust like crazy. A dust cloth doesn't even work, you have to wet the cloth too!
Brands: I use 1-2 coats of Kilz latex primer; Benjamin Moore satin finish or RustOleum American Accents satin finish in two coats; and then until recently McCloskey Heirloom Crystal Clear Polyurethane, and now Minwax Polycrylic semi-gloss. Hopefully the McCloskey wasn't the save because I don't know where to find it now. Good luck!
Lisa, I used Semigloss Valspar Signature Color Paint from Lowes and the Valspar multi-purpose primer. I don't remember what the clear coat we used on the top of the dressers. We were afraid to use a polyurethane because we were told that it might change the color of the pieces. Have you noticed this? Thanks for your help!
Signe, sometimes with a semigloss paint you can get a bit of stickiness. Try taking the rough side of a damp sponge and scrubbing the dresser - that could create a little bit of roughness and help to clean it up a bit. If that doesn't work, you can try a very fine grit sandpaper and give the piece a once-over (don't rub too hard or you'll take off the whole finish). After you've sanded, wipe down the dresser with a damp sponge. (And wear a dust mask while you're sanding to avoid breathing in any paint.)
If you are looking to add classy touch with new hardware, I recommend the deals at dlawlesshardware.com. They have a large selection of quality glass knobs and pulls. They also have stainless steel, ceramic, and even cloisonne' knobs and pulls to select from. The price is pretty hard to beat as well and they offer free shipping on orders over $50.
Some of the best knobs and pulls I have found are online at Look In The Attic - online at http://www.LookInTheAttic.com - they have like 25,000 different styles. Some under $2. I have used them many times in refinishing cabinets and furniture.
Be assured you're not alone with this "tackiness" problem with the latex paints. That's their nature. In general, latex paints are not recommend for any kind of surface where any kind of object will be sitting on the surface. So, latex paints work great for walls, trim and molding, etc. Will work fine on the legs, drawer fronts, etc of pieces as well. Just not on the tops, where things will be sitting.
You have two options: use an oil-based enamel paint instead, or put a clear coat over the latex paint. For this purpose, I would recommend a water-based crystal-clear polyurethane, a clear enamel spray paint, or a clear lacquer spray paint. Other 'clear' finishes may in fact tend to lend a yellowish tone to the paint job.
Apply epoxy paint...

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I just want to add for people looking at older reviews that the school got a new principal beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, so this should be taken into account when reading any reviews regarding the school administration written prior to the fall of 2011.
As a former student at Alpenglow Elementary School I am shocked by some of the poor reviews I've read. I understand that every student has their individual experience but I remember Alpenglow as an amazing elementary school. I attended school there from 2003-2007 and absolutely loved it. As for bullying: I was somewhat bullied by my friends but it wasn't major and I dealt with it. I don't remember any real bullying, there were definitely cliques, but overall everybody was kind to each other. The school really educates their students about bullying. I was a peer mediator in 6th grade. I attended classes with other students and we were assigned to a recess were we would help other students with their problems and the students were surprisingly understanding. The teachers I had were amazing! I loved them all and they all really cared about their students. Especially the music teacher, Mr. Baranow! I don't know if he still teaches there but he was the most dedicated teacher. He loved to teach. I was in the choir every year and we has SO much fun. He even took us to Seward for a weekend to perform at schools and retirement homes (as well as in Anchorage). I had an amazing experience (:
My daughter is starting her second year at Alpenglow this year and we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers have been phenomenal! My daughter had Ms. Jerome for third grade and she really did a fantastic job communicating with and motivating my daughter. The school environment is very pleasant and safe and the test scores are always very high. We continue to be very impressed with Alpenglow!
We are just completing our first year at Alpenglow. They school is run very well and the kids have some very interesting opportunities. (Snowshoeing, Native Games, Ice Skating) However, I am very unimpressed with the level at which my children are being taught. My kids have brought home straight A's without having to even lift their finger. Very, very easy curriculum. They seem to be teaching to the LOWEST level at Alpenglow.
Alpenglow- we look towards our future from hilltops, and sidewalks and mountains of snow! My son went to Alpenglow for 4 years, and we were VERY sad to leave. The principal and staff are great and truly care for the children. Its a great, safe, fun learning school. The principal truly cares for the children and I have seen him numerous times, searching himself through out the neighborhood and woods for a child that is late coming home or walks around when there are moose sightings just incase. There is a ZERO tolerance policy on bullying. Again I have seen the principal in action regarding this too. Even the slightest infraction is addressed and there are psychologist at the school as well. I can't wait till we can move back to Alaska and send the rest of our children back to Alpenglow- the place where we call home!
The principal does not hold his teachers or the students accountable for negative actions. He sticks up for his teachers even if they are clearly wrong. He does nothing regarding bullying. He is definately more of a friend than a leader.
I am very upset with the bullying my daughter is submitted to at this school. She is borderline aspergers, ADHD, OCD and it seems I can talk forever to the teacher but it doesn't stop. I am actually considering taking her out for her last year because this no tolerance stuff is just words.
We love this school. During the winter time, students get to ice skate at reccess in the skating rink. In PE, students go snowshoeing and skiing.
Put 2 kids through this school. This is by far the best elementary school in the Anchorage/Eagle River area!
I am very concerned about the review that I just read below, because I see first hand how the principal does not allow bullying at our school! If the situation occurs, he is quick to address it and the staff support is excellent! We have super noon duties and other staff who are always looking out for the best interest of the children. As a parent and someone who is highly envolved in the school, I can reassure you that our Principal is doing a superb job in making Alpenglow a well desired school! My child had a situation with another student bullying her. Mr. Toymil was very supportive, he communicated with us and our daughter, and the bullying stopped. So, I do not agree with the negative reviews. He has a true heart for the children of our school.
This school is not accepting of diverse students and is not welcoming of parent input or advice. The principal, Rick Toymil, is the main problem. He micromanages his teachers, and has them so afraid to do anything outside the box that it has created a stagnant atmosphere that does not challenge kids.
We have been at Alpenglow for three years and have had mixed experiences. We have had two excellent teachers and one very weak teacher. We also have had less than positive experiences with the principal. He has been reluctant to take positive action in regards to bullying and other disciplinary actions. I would rate Alpenglow as an average school.
I have two boys who have both started attending Alpenglow in Kindergarten. My oldest is now in third grade. We have loved Alpenglow's staff and class enviorment. I would recommend this school and area in a heart beat.
We just left Alpenglow elementary this year. My daughter attened k-2nd grade there. We had a wonderful experience, and we wish that we could have stayed. The staff at Alpenglow are really wonderful. I would recommend this school to anyone.
Our experience with Alpenglow was barely mediocre. My child was bullied by another student. This issue continued throughout the year with little disciplinary action from the school staff. Things went 'under the radar' and were brushed off like no big deal. I did not feel welcome, but rather like a second class citizen. We found the most of the office staff to be wonderful, however, the staff we most had direct contact with were very cold and to the point. Like it's just a job attitude. My child fell behind in class due to lack of one on one.... and again, no support from the staff. No child left behind? Mine was....In a big big big way!
My child was bullied also. The issue was never resolved but continued and progressed throughout the year with no accountability. My child was not properly supervised after school. I have found my child with other parents, with whom I do not know, supervising while the teacher/sub is off doing other things like visiting. Allowing children to do things that were unsafe and irresponsible, putting my childs safety at risk. As far as acidemics? My child fell behind and is now playing catch-up at a different school.
Fantastic school. Both of our children love going to school every day. The teachers are caring. The library, music, and arts departments are great. Who needs private schools when you have Alpenglow down the street.
This elementary school is one of the best schools there is in Alaska. It is high quality learning and the teachers are great with the children. They have in there normal subjects math, history, spelling/vocabulary/grammar, reading/righting,etc.. and for additional classes they have, music, gym, art, and 6th graders have an extra additional class, band, it's optional but highly recommended. Knowing play an instrument helps you in all subjects, especially math and reading. This is a great school for children that want a great education. I hope your children like this great school of learning.
In my opinion, everything at alpenglow was in the middle. Sure it had safety, and principal leadership, but its not like it was the best. Everything at Alpenglow was just average. The one thing that they did excell on was the parent involvment. I am a former Alpenglow student and at the time I didnt like how alpenglow always let my parent what I was up to, but when I become a parent I would be wanting a school with as much parent involvement. The teacher quality was okay. Some teacherse were great, while others werent. I would reccomend Alpenglow but I wouldnt brag about it.
The first day we walked in the door at Alpenglow, we knew this was a great place for our kids to learn. We moved here with my daughter hating school and within a month she loved school at Alpenglow. I credit this growth and change to the awesomely dedicated teachers, kind and helpful staff and the best volunteer force around. Our Alpenglow children have some of the highest testing scores in math and science for the district. Hooray for Alpenglow!

The Beggar's Opera, written in 1728 by John Gay, is the story of Peachum, a fence and thief-catcher, and his family. His daughter, Polly, has married the highwayman Macheath, and the diapproving Peachum sets out to try and kill Macheath and regain his use of Polly for his dubious business. With this work, Gay invented a new form, the ballad opera, and the daring mixture of caustic political satire, well-loved popular tunes, and a story of crime and betrayal set in the urban underworld of prostitutes and thieves was an overnight sensation.In this podcast, Hal Gladfelder discusses Gay's career, the plot of The Beggar's Opera and the sequel Polly, the reaction of Robert Walpole to his being satirized in the play, and the work's enduring success.
Hal Gladfelder is Senior Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century English Literature and Culture at the University of Manchester. His books include Criminality and Narrative in Eighteenth-Century England: Beyond the Law (2001) and Fanny Hill in Bombay: The Making and Unmaking of John Cleland (2012), as well as the Broadview edition of Cleland's Memoirs of a Coxcomb (2005) and the Oxford World's Classics edition of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera and Polly (2013).

- Gem on 52ndOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014Olive and Fig is great restaurant. Small, but fits in good numbers to have an atmosphere. Staff are very professional. Food, well probably the best we had in NYC in two weeks. Would recommend to all travellers. Prices were comparable to Australia, not cheap, but very worth while.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great appetizers!CindyDined on 9/20/2014Went for a birthday dinner before a show. The appetizers were fantastic and we could have made a meal of them. We would definitely go back and try some more! Entrees were good too.Special Features:
- Midtown FindPoupeeDined on 9/19/2014If you need to eat in midtown, would highly recommend Fig and Olive. It serves good food in a lovely setting and rational prices. The only issue is that the noise level can be pretty high.Special Features:
- Plentiful for a Pre-fixRC4UVIPDined on 9/19/2014I was very full after a prefix meal. It was warm and filling. Only a very crowded place so very busy and noisy. Make sure to reserve if not the line is long to wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- There are better placesBonzVIPDined on 9/18/2014This is a high end restaurant. It is not a welcoming place. I had mentioned that it was my guest's birthday, not even a candle on either of the two desserts we ordered. My guest was left waiting downstairs while I was placed in the upstairs room. The service was perfunctory and rushed. We ordered a bottle of white wine. It was plopped on the table. I had to request that it be placed in a wine bucket. The restroom was overflowing with trash. The food was very good. The waiters, staff and front of the house are not serving their chefs well. That is a shame. I would not go back again.
- LOVE....ayafoodsDined on 9/18/2014Fresh food & great service! I come all the time with my coworkers and we absolutely adore this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent FoodmickisisVIPDined on 9/17/2014Everything we had was excellent. Carrot and Brussel Sprouts Vegtable starter, Guspaucho soup, red Quinoa salad and Goat cheese Ravioli.Special Features:
- GldaDined on 9/17/2014Our first time to Fig and Olive and the food was fantastic. Such a variety to choose from. Meats, fish, poultry to pasta everything was exceptional. And the Berry dessert was to die for. . Will be visiting again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very enjoyable but superchargedctpwDined on 9/17/2014Go early if you don't like noise Food was very good service very good ambiance very good half way through a dinner that started at 7;30 an actual DJ starts in the middle of the dining room! crazy...Special Features:
- PJenyaVIPDined on 9/17/2014The food was absoulutely outstanding-truffle appetizer with bechamel was heavenly, filet mignon salad divine, chicken tangine sublime (loved that all the seasonings were separate), pot au chocolate-like sex on a fork, perhaps better! The wine was excellent, even the cappucino was delicious. The waiter was pleasant, attentive, and very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend Fig and Olive to my friends, and Ill be back!!Special Features:
- Modern foodAcberwangerDined on 9/16/2014Excellent atmosphere, charming decoration and amazing food!Special Features:
- always wonderfulviewsVIPDined on 9/16/2014I have enjoyed dining at the Fig and the Olive the last two times I was in the city. The service is always good and the food is always serviced hot and delicious. I can't recommend one special thing because everything we have tried has been good. I will dine here again very soon. I would say this, always make a reservation so you are not disappointed!Special Features:
- Quite goodFoodgirlVIPDined on 9/16/2014I met a friend for lunch here. I had the chicken trartine main dish, which was quite good. Menu offered a wide range and pretty healthy choices. Service was prompt and polite. I would definitely go back and would try it for dinner.Special Features:
- Very good food in Mid-townEHKBrDined on 9/15/2014Good service, excellent starters and plates came quick with adequate presentation and taste. We all liked the restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Menu looks good, execution is fairOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/15/2014The ambiance of this eatery is quite nice and the dishes on the menu seemed promising, however the execution was reasonable. I had the gazpacho and fish with fig, the gazpacho did not taste extremely fresh (maybe some starch was added?) and overall the food was bland and not very exciting. Service is friendly.
- Fantastic food!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/14/2014Loved the outstanding food! Will def go back! Service was a bit slow and they seated us in a busy section when other tables were open but that wouldn't detract me from going back bc the food was fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GREAT AS ALWAYSadynutza1976Dined on 9/13/2014This week i've been twice at Fig &Olive on 5 th avenue and i have to admit is my hot spot for dinner after a day at the office.I arrived with my friends and i was happy to see that they were impressed with this place as much as i am every time. Great food, great table, super great service from my favourite server, as i requested him again to be at our table and he was great as always. George is really great and an asset to your restaurant.I will be back very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014Loved the food. Waitstaff very attentive. Will come backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perhaps…a revisit's on order.VanquishDined on 9/13/2014I've heard of Fig and Olive before and always wanted to check it out. Let me tell you, I am glad I did. Ambiance is amazing, food is great, signature cocktail drinks are good, and service is good. Needs work in some areas, but the time I made a cameo they may have been short handed. Overall, I was happy. My girlfriend liked the place as well. We enjoyed it! Oh, dessert? Chocolate soufflé was really good. I am not a huge dessert bloke, so for me to like it, you know its good. If you get a chance or want to woo that special someone…well, what are you waiting for?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simple and sophisticated at oncebrfoodieDined on 9/12/2014Great menu, with so many interesting options that when you go for the first time it will be hard to choose what to have. Starting from the Crostinis and little bites all the way to the appetizers and drinks you will start really well. We tried the Crab and the Burrata And both were great. As for the appetizers, DON'T leave without trying the truffle and mushroom croquettes, they're incredible. In the meantime they will bring you a sample of olive oils with bread which makes you wonder why olive oil is not more popular than it is. And I had a very nice Branzino and fig combination at the end. Super attentive and nice service. Only note goes to the setting, which if it is nice and hip stays more on the cramped side, with very small tables.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!!NickDined on 9/12/2014Made a reservation for our wedding anniversary and was not dissapointed. Asked for a table in a corner with a candle and it happened. Food was fabulous, my wife was so taken with the menu she did not know what to order so she ordered lots of appetizers to be safe. Next time we are in the Big Apple we will go back. We were also given 2 glasses of champagne gratis, without asking. Thanks for a wonderful anniversary dinner.Special Features:
- I could live on the olive oil alonedrrhondaVIPDined on 9/12/2014My friends and I wanted somewhere further east than our usual to try a nice supper. I had seen Fig & Olive's menu at various times, so I decided to give them a try. I can't stress enough how lovely the dinner was for us all. Not a thing was ordered that was not wonderful. Every appetizer, every entree, every dessert was flavorful and filling. Two of us had the chicken tagine, and I highly recommend it. Robust and spicy but not overly hot to the tongue. You dress it yourself, so you have the wheel when it comes to the flavor. To finish, two of us also had the CAFÉ GOURMAND which is a choice of tea or coffee and a smaller version of one of their desserts. It was an absolutely perfect end to a wonderful meal. The service was impecible.Special Features:
- calamarifanDined on 9/11/2014Food was outstanding - especially if you like small plates. The menu is seafood centric with and emphasis on figs and cheeses. As typical for NYC, the tables are very close together and it was somewhat noisy. Also, many were dressed very casually. Therefore, I wouldn't consider it a great date night or special occasion location, but the food was terrific.Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/11/2014I loved the food - as I always do - however, noise level is a bit high.Special Features:
- GREAT PLACE TO BEadynutza1976Dined on 9/10/2014Great food as always and that's why we are back over and over again. Now... Regarding the service i have one single word OUTSTANDING!!! Our server was THE BEST and his recommendations made our dinner more enjoyable. He recommended a great pinot noir that was perfect with our meal. We will be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Lunch SpotGinaMF812Dined on 9/9/2014Nice restaurant with comfortable seating and a good wine list. The Lunch menu is a good deal and some of the items were really delicious. I was not thrilled with the Cod but everything else was very good. I will be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch was great!JennVIPDined on 9/7/2014This was my first time having brunch at Fig & Olive. Big menu to select from, and thank goodness the crostini's are on it! They are consistantly, incredibly good!!Special Features:
- UniqueCroat48Dined on 9/6/2014Wonderful but slightly cramped, but that's on par for NYCSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Panhandling and PancettaorginalpequenoVIPDined on 9/6/2014Had brunch at Fig and Olive on Fifth on September 6. While the average service and the average food were fine for a Saturday afternoon brunch where the Company I was with was more important than the meal, the end of the meal caused me to never return. As we were paying out check, a man walked through the restaurant begging for money and he would not take no for an answer. Management, waiters and bartenders just stood there as if nothing out of the ordinary happened. Even after the beggar was finally escorted from the restaurant, he was outside waiting for you as soon as you left. I'm used to begging in NYC, but inside a supposed high class bistro? No thanks, not again.Special Features:
- Maja and BrankoFamilyDined on 9/5/2014We visited this restaurant before when we were in New York and we wanted to go again because our experience was amazing last year. This year was ben better, we tried different things. Risotto with lobster was fantastic. Manager Branko was so nice, came to say hi, and asked about the service. Highly recommend this place.Special Features:
- Fig and OliveMSNJDined on 9/5/2014Greeted by a hostess, genuinely friendly and willing to please. Nice relaxing drink at the bar. No rush to our reserved table. Tables seating was nice and not crowded together. Service was very good with the waiter giving some fine recommendations from the menu. The food was served in a timely relaxed fashion. From the appetizers to the desert all of the food was very tasty with the portion sizes just right. The pricing was moderate and indicative of the type of restaurant equal to those around the city. No price gouging here. Was it enjoyable? Absolutely. Was the food excellent? Absolutely. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I recommend the Fig and Olive to a friend? Absolutely.Special Features:
- TrendySKIPVIPDined on 9/4/2014Trendy restaurant with average food and spotty service. The place seems popular among the younger crowd,Special Features:
- Perfect for drinks & appsFoodFanNYCVIPDined on 9/4/2014Went to Fig & Olive with a group of people drinks and apps after work - great place for this. They had a very good wine selection and we got a variety of cheeses, meats and crostini to share - everyone really enjoyed the food. And you can't go wrong with the delicious olive oil and bread! The service/staff was great too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great fine!WALLYWUVIPDined on 9/4/2014For an out of towner like myself, a great fine for good food, great service, romantic setting and reasonable prices. Plan to make it a regular stopover during my visits to the Big Apple.Special Features:
- Olive Lover's GemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/4/2014On our first evening in NYC, we chose Fig and Olive for its attention and theme regarding figs and olives! WE were not disappointed. The olive oil tasting was wonderful! A special note they make their own olive oil from olives they import from the state or country of origin. My chicken was prepared perfectly. My wife's salad of chicken and figs was light and just right for an evening at the theatre. We dined early because of our theatre date and noticed the crowd picked up as we were leaving. It was nice and quiet while we dined. A good choice.Special Features:
- Good food but so-so serviceRubyRedDined on 9/3/2014Went for dinner with a friend; have been for lunch a few times and the food is pretty reliably good. When we got seated upstairs, we had a waiter I've had before and I knew we were in for a long night. Ordered an artichoke appetizer which was served cold; I was expecting it to be hot and didn't eat it. Our waiter never came back to check on this (or dinner) to see if the food was okay. He also took a very long time to serve us and my friend had to request hot sauce from a different server because ours forgot she ordered it despite a full conversation about it. Dinners were both good (roast chicken and salmon) but the service really was lacking and very slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Strader reviewMeatheadDined on 9/3/2014As always the Fig&Olive rises to the occasion, and shows off its service and culinary skills. Could not ask for more, and it is the perfect place to have a manageable meal in the confines of great atmosphere and service. Thanks again!Special Features:
- great foodaalexaVIPDined on 9/2/2014The decor is pretty yet minimal but the food was incredibly wonderful. The beef carpaccio was fab as was the truffle risotto. Great menu and can't wait to go back and try more of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MiriDined on 9/2/2014We enjoyed very much our dinner, great ambiance and tasty food. Thr gorgonzola tartine is recommrndef as well as the Atlantic salmon. The 4 small desserts were delicious!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not greattravelerheidiDined on 9/1/2014On our evening reservation I noted that we'd be celebrating our anniversary that day. When we arrived, the first floor section was empty but they seated us in the worst possible spot (front and center rather than in the rear or along the side). The servers were few on words and did not acknowledge our anniversary or make us feel special. The contemporary style food was good- I particularly liked my truffle croquette appetizer. Unfortunately we were informed the main course we'd wanted (branzino for two) was not available. What we elected to order was presented nicely, but the serving sizes were quite small considering their price. Overall, we were not favorably impressed. There are plenty of other dining choices in NYC.

Here's Part 10 of endnotes for The Essential Guide to Warfare.
Previous installments: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
The Age of Superweapons: The "stateless" strategy — and the idea of the Death Star as an attempt to counter it – was first developed in the Atlas.
The Death Stars, the Tarkin and Other Superlasers: As you might expect, weaving the many, many Death Star tales into a coherent narrative was an exhausting continuity slalom. The parallels between the Death Star's early troubles and those of the Malevolence are there on purpose. In retelling the Battle of Yavin, I stripped events down to what we see in the movie, plus Blue and Green squadrons – whose fighters get a mission I think makes sense.
Why didn't I mention the various other elements added to the Battle of Yavin in assorted videogames? Because, to be frank, I think they're great games but not so great storytelling. I think Rookie One's exploits and the Imperial ground raid muddy the drama of the attack we see in the movie, while additions such as the Death Star's support fleet and communications satellite lessen the power of the stark contrast between tiny fighters and a massive battle station. If you like those elements, you're perfectly welcome to use them to fill in the blanks in Warfare's narrative. Same goes for IG-88 getting ready to run the show from inside the Death Star II, I suppose.
OK, that was a cheap shot. But surely we can all agree that giving R2-D2 his due was a good way to end the section.
BTW, big tip of the cap to Stephan Martiniere for his awesome painting of the Tarkin.
X-wing Fighter: Paul Urquhart writes: "Another piece that tries to tell a story out of what are basically stat blocks. The big sensor package has appeared in X-wing blueprints over the years, though I don't think its tactical implications have been treated so directly before. The 'Lightspeed Panthers,' with their snazzy nose art and devastating kill ratio, are a direct reference to the Flying Tigers of World War II — like the X-wing, the P40 was a pilot-friendly multi-role fighter that used toughness and tactics to rout a far larger enemy air force armed with faster and more maneuverable planes."
Y-wing Fighter: Paul writes: "The Y-wing's appearance in The Clone Wars TV show has complicated its story: obviously, older material can't take the new series into account, so this Sensor Profile has to give a prominent nod to the vehicle's earlier appearance, and combine the different sources neatly.
"As with the X-wing, there's an emphasis here on how the right tactics can make a seemingly underperforming plane a winner (I'm a big fan of the Douglas Dauntless from World War II, the nearest real-world equivalents to the Y-wing, and of the Fairey Swordfish biplanes whose attack on the battleship Bismarck inspired its Clone Wars appearance), but in contrast with Dodonna's brilliant use of the X-wing, the Y-wing is misused by less-skilled commanders attempting to 'compensate' for its perceived weakness — the BTL-A4, the product of these attempts, is the single-seat version we see in A New Hope. Grisserno and Salm, on the other hand, are two of the Rebellion's key proponents of the type, and it seemed sense to make them into a mentor-and-pupil team. What goes unsaid in all this is that even the most successful Y-wing missions will often be accompanied by heavy casualties."
Manufacturer: Incom: Paul writes: "Being able to make up a story that Incom, designers of the legendary X-wing, was founded as the 'Torranix Inertial Compensator Company' is the sort of random continuity innovation that gives the fannish writer a silly satisfaction, and that I hope entertains the more continuity-conscious reader, too. For the average fan, it hopefully just feels natural.
"The FreiTek part of the narrative is an effort to finesse existing canon, but lining up Longspur, Incom, Bespin Motors and Tendrando is motivated by their shared connections with Cloud City. It seems a little absurd that the place should be the base of more than one notable repulsorcraft manufacturer."
Duty Roster: Red Squadron: This was another section I was really excited to tackle. Note that Red 12 finally gets a name, chosen after sorting through a number of candidates. They were Naeco (original X-wing game), Captain Ernek Marskan (same), Fin Danglot (Galaxy Guide 1), Travis (a blonde woman from Marvel's retelling of A New Hope back in the Droids kid's comic – how's that for obscure?), and Talos Merkin (Captive to Evil).
I liked the idea of using Travis, as I thought it would be fun to add a female pilot to the ranks and tip the cap to a really obscure EU tale. In the initial draft Travis was Red 12, but then Leland Chee and I saw an opportunity to address a continuity flub in A New Hope: When Red 10 gets shot down, the pilot we see die is someone else – a previously unseen male pilot with a helmet that looks like Janson's in The Empire Strikes Back. That pilot, we decided, should be Red 12. That decision took Travis out of the running, and as Plan B we chose Naeco to be the lucky (or unlucky) pilot, with Leland supplying "Puck" as a first name. Fin Danglot got a shout-out as a consolation prize, as did Travis. Her first name – Milar — was chosen as a respectful doffing of the flight helmet to Star Wars authors Karen Miller and Karen Traviss.
War Portrait: Garven Dreis: I wrote this as if it were a missing page from Alan Dean Foster's A New Hope novelization – fans of that book will recognize Foster's startling line about pilots likely becoming particles of frozen meat. It was great fun to imagine a hotshot farmboy pilot's reaction to Anakin Skywalker, to partially restore the now-edited-away reference to Red Leader having flown with Luke's father, and to give some depth to the briefly, nicely sketched friendship between Red Leader and Gold Five, AKA Dave and Pops.
