While Evans has played volleyball and basketball for the school, she also has served on the student council all four years of high school. This year, the senior is the vice president.
Evans lists her top two hobbies as the work that comes with being the VP and also volunteering, which is one thing she's done with student council.
She said right now the organization is working to buy Christmas gifts for less fortunate students.
Aside from those two hobbies, Evans said she likes to hang out with her friends and watch TV, most notably MTV's hit show "Catfish."
As for sports, she said she prefers playing volleyball because of the intensity. The left-hander is a middle hitter for the Panthers.
Recently, she took time out of warming up with the team to sit down with Anniston Star sports writer Brandon Miller and kill 10 questions.
Question: What made you want to play volleyball?
Answer: My friend, Kaybriana Barnes, and I weren't doing much at school so we just decided to pick something up. Then we fell in love with it.
Q: What do you like the most about fall?
A: Football season. I go to all the football games. I really like when the crowd gets rowdy and it gets the boys going and then to see how they play.
Q: Who's your best friend, and how did you meet?
A: Tymeria Mackey. We met in first grade when she moved from another school. We really cool at first, but by the sixth grade we were really close. She's the president of student council so we have that, too.
Q: What's the best thing about Wellborn High?
A: The community is like a family. If someone talks about us everyone is going to back us up. You cannot talk bad about our school.
Q: Has there been a volleyball match this season that stands out to you?
A: Probably games that we lost that we could have won. The Pleasant Valley game is one. When we played Saks in the county tournament we could have beat them, and also White Plains in their tournament.
Q: What's your favorite song?
A: Anything by Rich Homie Quan. I love his whole CD. I can't pick a favorite.
Q: If you could play another sport, what would it be?
A: Softball. Coach (Brenda) Vinson is the coach, they have fantastic players and they're a really good team. I'm thinking about playing this year.
Q: Do you prefer home games or away games?
A: Home. You're in your territory and you can't lose in your territory. It just doesn't feel right.
Q: Who is the most inspirational person to you?
A: Oprah. She started from like … I don't want to say the bottom, because I'm not Drake. But she didn't get things handed to her. She worked for everything. And she has a lot of money.
Q: What do you want to do after graduation?
A: I want to go to JSU for four years and study psychology or anthropology because I want to see how everyone's mind works.

All I want is that pin up girls shirt .I know how you feel, slept on it.
All I want is that pin up girls shirt .I know how you feel, slept on it.
Yep they did have zips. I agree with the deep pockets losing shit is always bad hahaha. They used to use 3% spandex on the Zespy pant but stopped using spandex because they said that the shape didn't last long opposed to the new 100% cotton Zespy trousers. I have a few friends that have a couple of the OG Zespy pants and I could tell that the shape really didn't last long cause they got really baggy after a while. Lost it's tapered look.In my opinion, i like the newer version of the zespys. I just like having deep pockets for my stuff. And do the OG zespys have zippers on the ankles? Never had a pair of zespys so idk.Just remember that they won't look the same as they did in those photos you saw. Those are the OG zespy pants you're looking at which had spandex (which look better imo), Charcoal was also a staple colour for ILU in their older releases and they look way different from their previous re-release of the Charcoal colour-way.wow i just googled up the tea zespys and are really digging them. I've been in between getting the charcoal,milo, or mousse colorway when they restock so the tea color way is just perfect. Now i just hope i can get them in a small.
I have a feeling that they're going to release their staple colour ways in pants soon. The staple colour ways such as Coffee and Tea, which they haven't released since early 2012.
Here's a pic of their OG zespy pant in Charcoal (drawstrings aren't capped)
and then here's a pic of the latest charcoal zespy pant.
Probably TMI but whateverrrrr :D

Anyone wish Ralphs were the same length as Zespys?I think Zespy pants are longer because they're meant to bunch up chee, not tight as the Ralphs so yeahhh. All the Zespy pants that have been made since the 2012 March drop have had deeper pockets.
got my first pair of Ralphs today and they're pretty short considering I'm 6'2..
Also does anyone know if the restock of Zespys are all made with deeper pockets, etc? (I like the new ones alot alot better, my dark navy ones are a little different material and they get a bit fuzzy)

Just looked at the "old" sold out parka at their site and it says "The model is 6ô2 and wears Large" and it doesn't even go past his shirt..I have a medium that fits pretty well, if not a little bit big, but the length is kinda short. Mine just grazes the top of my jean's back pocket.
Really clueless about sizing
Hey guys, I have a question, i'm about a 94cm - 96cm waist, would the xxl be alg?Unless you can be exact about your waist size I think you should get an XL bro.

Metro community grants include several green provisions
By Andy Giegerich
Digital Managing Editor
Metro's latest round of community grants will explore public transportation, among other sustainability strategies.
Metro, the area's regional government that focuses on a bevy of sustainability and planning issues, has issued a series of grants that, in some cases, could aid the environment.
The agency's council approved the $4 million in community planning and development grants Aug. 15.
The allotments included $123,000 for the Forest Grove Westside Planning Program. The offering calls for a "sustainability framework" within a land-use plan for the area. One idea calls for Forest Grove to borrow from an "eco-industrial site project" in Gresham.
Actually, backers of that project also received $100,000 for what's been dubbed the Gresham Vista Business Grant Park grant request. The partnership between the city of Gresham and Port of Portland aims to develop "a framework for eco-industrial development at the site, and a lessons-learned report to guide other industrial developments in the region."
Many of the grants call for city and area leaders to address stormwater and low-impact development in their work. That's true of the Forest Grove project as well as the Sherwood West Concept Plan, which received $221,139. Sherwood planners will use a sustainability lens as they explore a housing project in the southwest Portland suburb.
The same goes for $341,000 awarded for the Wilsonville Frog Pond/Advance Road Planning efforts.
Nearly $500,000 of the grants will go toward the cities of Gresham and Portland for the Powell-Division Transit and Development Project. The money could help create "a concept plan for the Inner Powell – Outer Division corridor that identifies a preferred transit mode and concept alignment, and potential transit station areas with the greatest development and placemaking opportunities."

This songbird breaks out the sampler to get a mate. And the superb lyrebird doesn't stop at mimicking other bird species — man-made noises just become part of the remix.
Every rock star has their groupies.
But when the male superb lyrebird takes the stage, he gives new definition to the term "siren song."
Like many birds, his voice is a prime way to woo the ladies.
Those flashy 28-inch-long tail feathers don't hurt either.
But to lure the females in close enough to admire his pretty plumage, he has to sing his heart out.
But this bird is more than just a snazzy solo.
He's a whole glee club.
He can imitate more than 20 different bird species in one song.
The more complex, the better-like the kookaburra.
It's so convincing, it even fools the real thing...though only outside the kookaburra's mating season.
But this male doesn't just stop at bird calls.
To really impress a potential mate, he breaks out the sampler.
That was a camera shutter.
And just to show off, he adds in the camera's motor drive.
Now he's practically one of the papparazzi.
The superb lyrebird can imitate nearly any sound he hears around him in the forest, though he rarely mimics manmade sounds in the wild.
But when he gets his groove on, he can really let loose.
A car alarm.
And even a chainsaw felling trees.
Maybe he should stick with something a little more romantic.


text: There used to be a day when you could hardly give billboard posters away — they were too large to easily display, and mounting them archivally on a roll of linen was cost-prohibitive. But, like many things, Star Wars seems to have changed the rules on that. Perfect example was a recent eBay auction for a rare Empire billboard poster which yielded 10 bids reaching $14,000, quite a respectable sum for any Star Wars poster.

Fuel Consortia: A 30-Year Success Story
The consortia model offers an opportunity for airlines to work together — and with airport management — to manage collective activities more efficiently and cost-effectively
Fuel costs constitute a large share — often up to 30 percent — of airline operating expenses. That has made effective management and efficient distribution of fuel supplies at large airports an industry priority for decades.
In the late 1970s, airlines at several major airports began looking at a consortium model to lower costs and increase efficiencies. The fuel consortium model has also helped airports garner similar benefits.
Looking For Options
Before the fuel consortium era, fuel storage and distribution at major airports typically was controlled by major oil companies. In many cases, each oil company had its own distribution system to supply specific concourses.
The San Francisco and Los Angeles airports, for example, operated in this manner. These structures limited competition and the opportunity for airlines to introduce new supply sources to the airport, and resulted in higher fuel costs for the airlines. The oil companies' costs associated with these facilities were passed on to the airlines as part of their fuel cost.
Competing airlines came together in a revolutionary response, collectively seeking a free market for fuel pricing and fuel system operations at major airports. The first airports to establish airline consortia were in Chicago, Honolulu, and Anchorage, Alaska. In the mid-1980s, many airline consortia were formed to manage facilities in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
The LAXFUEL Corp. consortium at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) represented a major breakthrough because it included off-airport storage and access to ports, which enabled airlines to import jet fuel to the West Coast for the first time. It also let airlines take advantage of bonded fuel, which eliminated the import duty on international flights out of LAX. United Airlines led this effort, with significant support from American, Delta, Pan Am, Western, Flying Tigers, KLM, and Lufthansa.
Coming Together at LAX
Oil companies — including Chevron, Shell, Unocal, ARCO, Mobil, and GATX — owned and operated several large fuel storage and hydrant systems at LAX. Some larger airlines — American, Pacific Southwest Airlines, and Trans World Airlines — owned their own fuel storage and/or hydrant systems. Because each oil company pipeline into the airport connected directly to refineries in the area and no common carrier pipelines existed, the airlines were at the mercy of the oil companies that served the airport.
In 1985, airlines formed a California Mutual Benefit Corporation to purchase the oil company facilities on the airport, lease the property and rights-of-way from the airport authority, finance the acquisitions and improvements, and manage the fuel infrastructure and operations. LAXFUEL was designed to create an open market and enable the sharing of one fuel storage facility on airport property for all member airlines' use.
The cooperation of the LAX Airport Authority was essential to facilitate the creation of this integrated fuel storage and distribution system. LAXFUEL leases additional off-site storage facilities to better position the airlines to purchase and store fuel near the airport. Each airline purchases its own fuel as needed and uses the common facilities. The fuel is comingled and accounting of fuel usage and inventory is handled by the fuel system operator.
Burns & McDonnell worked with LAXFUEL to design and build a 600,000-barrel fuel storage facility that integrates the oil company facilities and new storage capacity with existing fuel hydrant systems. Consortium members share the infrastructure, operation, and maintenance costs for the facilities based on each carrier's consumption as a percentage of total airport volume.
A Spreading Model
Fuel consortia have become a common operational model at major airports in the U.S. and around the world with airlines operating at midsize to smaller airports adopting the model of shared facilities to reduce costs. Airlines and airport authorities continue to evaluate whether this model can apply to other airport operations. Consortia offer an opportunity for airlines to work together — and with airport management — to manage collective activities more efficiently and cost-effectively.

FHL Legal Update
Dear High Line supporters,
We'd like to give you an important legal update. Yesterday an appeals court overturned a FHL victory that two years ago stopped a High Line demolition proposal from going forward. But since the Bloomberg administration now endorses the High Line project – and the administration reaffirmed its commitment to High Line reuse when responding to yesterday's news – we're confident that the ruling will not hinder our efforts to create a great new public space on the High Line.
Some news reports have made it sound like the High Line is imminent danger of being torn down because of this ruling. This is not the case. A statement from the City Law Department yesterday makes this quite clear. "The decision does not change the City's efforts to preserve the High Line as a public amenity," said Jeffrey D. Friedlander, First Assistant Corporation Counsel.
The ruling grows out of legal challenge FHL filed to stop a demolition proposal developed during the previous mayoral administration. Since that time the Bloomberg administration has changed the City's policy to one that favors preservation of the High Line for reuse as public open space and has been working actively alongside Friends of the High Line to move the project forward.
The Appellate Division's ruling does not pose an immediate threat to the High Line, given the City's strong support for the project. If, however, the City's policy were to change, this ruling might allow it to commit to demolish the structure without going through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), which requires review by the City Council, the Borough President, and the Community Boards.
FHL is reviewing the appeals court ruling and considering possible recourse. Meanwhile FHL will continue to work with the City of New York to create a legal structure and a design master plan for the High Line's conversion to public open space.
In late 2001, the final days of the Giuliani administration, the City of New York signed onto a proposal that would allow the High Line to be demolished. FHL challenged the City's participation in that proposal, asserting that ULURP, a mandatory public review process, had been bypassed. FHL was joined in its challenge by the New York City Council, the Manhattan Borough President, and six local business-owners and residents. In March 2002, a New York State Supreme Court Justice ruled in FHL's favor, finding that the demolition process was indeed required to go through ULURP. The ruling effectively stopped the demolition process from moving forward. Demolition proponents and the City of New York appealed. On January 15, 2004, the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme court overturned the March 2002 decision.
Continuing Bipartisan City Support
The City of New York has shown strong bipartisan support for the High Line's preservation and reuse ever since filing in late 2002 for the start of rail-banking (the federal process that allows out-of-use rail lines to be converted to public open space). In July 2003, it presented bipartisan joint testimony in favor of rail-banking to the Surface Transportation Board by City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, Deputy Mayor Daniel Doctoroff, and City Planning Commission Chair Amanda Burden. That same month, Speaker Miller announced a $15.75 funding capital funding commitment to the project.
FHL is confident that the City's enthusiastic support for the High Line project will continue regardless of the Appellate Division's ruling. The City appealed the March 2002 decision even after it changed its policy to one favoring the High Line's reuse because of the decision's potential to become a precedent in cases unrelated to the High Line.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Activist groups have delivered a petition that they say has more than 23,000 signatures to Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal to urge him to veto proposed legislation that aims to crack down on illegal immigration.
At a news conference on the steps of the Capitol Monday some held signs shaped like tombstones to emphasize what they say Georgia stands to lose if the legislation passes.
The Senate is expected to take up one of two bills today that contain some provisions similar to those in a tough law passed in Arizona last year . Opponents of the proposed laws say they would harm Georgia's economy and reputation and could lead to civil rights violations.
The petitions were delivered to the offices of Deal, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and House Speaker David Ralston.

Today spoke with McCready's ex-boyfriend, Billy McKnight, who is also the father of her older son--who is currently hung up in foster care in Arkansas. "As sad as it is, it didn't come as a major shock," he noted. "She's just been battling demons for so long."
"I was around her when she attempted suicide twice, so I knew it was in her," he added. "I feel for her mother, her family, and especially my son--but I can't say that it shocked me."
Understandably, McKnight's main concern at the moment is his child, 6-year-old Zander, who was taken from McCready by state family services following the death of David Wilson. McKnight had filed a court request for full custody of Zander shortly after Wilson's passing, and now he wants his son back immediately.
[Related: Mindy McCready Mourns Untimely Death Of Boyfriend David Wilson]
"He shouldn't have been taken from me to begin with," McKnight asserted. "He has a happy home here, I can provide for him. It's just been a big mess. Enough is enough.
McKnight noted that his son is currently all alone at the moment except for his baby brother Zane. "He has no family in Arkansas--he has plenty of family who love him here. Cousins, aunts, uncles. He needs to come home."
"He's had a rough first six years," McKnight said. "He deserves better than this."
As for 10-month-old Zane--who was fathered by Wilson--McKnight says he doesn't know what will happen. However, he hopes the boy will be given to McCready's family, who live an hour and a half away from him.
"I'd like to keep those boys being brothers together," he told Today.

Cano Versus Halladay
One potential match-up to watch this evening pits Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees versus Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies. In the PITCHf/x era, 2008-2011, Cano posted a slash line of .303/.346/.494, good for a weighted on-base average (wOBA) of .361. Cano collects hits through a wide swath of the strike zone.
Cano doesn't hit location as much as he hits movement, or lack thereof:
Balls that pass near the intersection of the major axes indicate that the ball traveled as expected; there was no extra spin to deflect the ball left, right, up or down.
Halladay held Robinson to a .158/.179/.184 slash line and a .166 wOBA in 39 PA during this period. Roy tends to work him inside:
Roy does a decent job of avoiding the middle of the plate. Most of his pitches are inside or outside, and as we see from above, Cano does not get hits on inside pitches. Where Halladay really beats, however, is on movement.
Very few of Roy's pitches come in straight. Almost all of them dip, move in on Cano, or both. Halladay's mastery of movement and location make Cano and easy target for outs.

gEDA is a suite of electronic design automation (EDA) tools. Currently, the project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout.
Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element grid generator with built-in CAD and post-processing facilities. Its design goal is to provide a simple meshing tool with parametric input and advanced visualization capabilities. It is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver, and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface (based on FLTK and OpenGL) or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.
pythonOCC is a 3D CAD/PLM development library for the Python programming language. It provides 3D hybrid modeling, data exchange (support for the STEP/IGES file format), GUI management support (wxPython, PyQt, python-xlib), parametric modeling, and advanced meshing features. pythonOCC is built upon the OpenCASCADE 3D modeling kernel and the salomegeom and salomesmesh packages. Some high level packages (for parametric modeling, topology, data exchange, webservices, etc.) extend the builtin features of those libraries to enable highly dynamic and modular programming of any CAD application.
CADauno is a 3D modeling tool based on the NURBS surfaces. It aims to exploit the power of NURBS at representing free forms. It provides an interpolation facility ("skinning" technique), which enables the designer to create a closed surface passing through different section curves. This makes it possible, as an example, to build a human body 3D model starting from sections provided by a Computed Axial Tomography scanner.
OSG composer was designed to unleash the potential of OSG developers and users. It facilitates the creation of simple to complex 3D scenes, which combine geometries from different sources. It lets you add models from different sources, place them visually using the draggers, use advanced Snap tools, add 3D text to your scene, add texture coordinates to the models, duplicate and create instances of geometries in the scene, automatically pack your scenes with all its textures in a zip file so you can share it with other users, and fix problematic models and bring them back to life.
DXF Export Java is a Java library for exporting CAD entities, along with their properties, to stream or AutoCAD DXF files at high speed and with ease. Creating a new DXF file takes only one call of the exporter class, provided that user data has been prepared and loaded to the required fields beforehand. The library handles all major entities, including Arc, Bezier, Circle, Ellipse, Hatch Pattern, Line, Multi-line Text, Pixel, Polyline, Rectangle, and Text. It also supports layers, colors, line styles, and other important properties. Source code and working demos are included.
Kobldes makes it possible for the designer to model building information and uses POV-Ray for visualization. It is also programmed using the POV-Ray screen description language (SDL). The goal of is to create a fully functioning building information modeling and management tool for designing buildings. It currently allows the designer to accomplish basic tasks with building components such as building levels and spaces in the process of solving design problems. In the near future, it will compute and make available information about the building such as sizes/volumes (such as an area for painting in a particular room), requirement checks (e.g. spatial conformance), and Property checks (e.g. calculating the solar savings factor).

Farewell, Dorothy Parker
Ellen Meister - Author
add to cart
- eBook - ePub eBook: $9.99
What if inspiration came to visit...and wouldn't leave?
When it comes to movie reviews, critic Violet Epps is a powerhouse voice. But that's only because she's learned to channel her literary hero, Dorothy Parker, the most celebrated and scathing wit of the 20th century.
If only Violet could summon that kind of courage in her personal life.
Determined to defeat her social anxiety, Violet visits the Algonquin Hotel to pull strength from the hallowed dining room, where Dorothy Parker and so many other famous writers of the 1920s traded barbs. But she gets more than she bargained for when Dorothy Parker's feisty spirit rematerializes from an ancient guestbook and hitches a ride onto her life.
Violet is shocked and thrilled to be face-to-face with her idol, but when the gin-swilling writer takes up residence in her home and grows pricklier and more outspoken by the day, the timid movie critic is pushed to her limit. With her job threatened, her new relationship in tatters, and the custody fight for her orphaned niece in jeopardy, Violet is forced to face her fears ...and she makes sure Mrs. Parker does the same.
Wickedly funny and surprisingly poignant, Farewell, Dorothy Parker perfectly re-imagines one of America's most iconic voices in a captivating and unforgettable tale.
Violet Epps stood before the maitre d' in the lobby lounge of the Algonquin Hotel, waiting to be noticed. She cleared her throat and he looked up, glancing right past her.
"Who's next?" he said.
Me, she thought. Me. But before she could summon the courage to get the single syllable across her tongue, a young man behind her spoke up.
"We have a reservation," he said, putting his arm around the pretty girl at his side. "Dr. Walker."
Doctor my ass, Violet thought. Guy was maybe twenty–three years old, probably a waiter who just walked over from his afternoon class at the Actors Studio.
Violet closed her eyes and tried to find the gumption she needed to speak up and tell the maitre d' she was there first. But as usual, social anxiety paralyzed her vocal chords. Too bad she couldn't channel Dorothy Parker the way she did at work.
Violet Epps was a 37–year–old movie critic whose withering zingers were inspired by the famous wit who had made the Algonquin Hotel her home for many years. Dorothy Parker was Violet's hero, and not just for her scathing reviews, clever jokes, quotable poetry, and insightful short stories, but for her potent social courage. The diminutive Mrs. Parker, as she was often called, was so commanding that even her friends thought of her as larger than life.
So far, Violet had only been successful in summoning her muse when writing her movie reviews. In her personal life, she was held captive by her own timidity. Today, she hoped, would be different. She was meeting her boyfriend, Carl, for dinner, and needed to tell him it was over. She had tried this once before—just a few weeks ago—and failed. Worse, Carl had a made a strong case that the only problem with their relationship was that they didn't spend enough time with one another. He even managed to convince her that if they were together more he would drink less. And so she caved, agreeing to let him move in with her. In two short days it would be happening. Everything in the "apartment" he rented in the basement of his parents' home would be loaded into a U–haul and moved to her house.
As the maitre d' led the young couple to their table, Violet glanced inside her oversized handbag, where a tiny bundle of fur lay sleeping. It was Woollcott, a funny–looking little dog who had survived the car crash that killed her sister and brother–in–law. Violet had petitioned for temporary custody of her 13–year–old niece, who had also survived the accident, but wound up with the dog.
Violet knew that Dorothy Parker, whose most famous quotes were uttered right here in this room, would have made a glib joke about the trade–off. After all, it was life's most painful events that brought out Mrs. Parker's famously wicked sense of humor—like the time she responded to an unwanted pregnancy by saying, That's what I get for putting all my eggs in one bastard.
Violet gave Woollcott a pat. He was, she had discovered, a mellow companion who had a calming effect on her nerves. That was why she had decided to sneak him in to this meeting with Carl; if she couldn't channel Dorothy Parker from the hallowed walls of the Algonquin Hotel, at least she had this little dog to help steady her.
A grab from behind gave Violet a start. It was Carl. She pulled his hands from her waist.
"Hey, babe," he said. "Where's our table? Didn't you tell them who you were?"
"You scared me," she said.
"But I was just horsing around."
Violet sighed. What did one thing have to do with the other? Surely she was entitled to be startled regardless of the intent.
But that was Carl. He was so sure he never did anything wrong that you couldn't suggest otherwise without feeling like you had done something truly villainous.
Violet shook her head. This relationship was not just dead. It was starting to rot.
They had met three years ago at a crafts fair in Stony Brook, Long Island, and Violet was immediately intrigued, as he was the opposite of her rigid ex–husband. Carl McDonald was an artist and looked the part, with a messy mass of long wiry locks, parted in the middle. He was thickset with large hands and bitten nails, which usually had paint embedded deep in the cuticles. Carl had carved out a niche for himself painting nostalgically kitschy designs on small pieces of furniture, and eked out a living selling his work in cramped booths at local shows. Recently, he launched a website to try to broaden his customer base.
He was handsome in an offbeat way and Violet, God help her, loved his disheveled artist look and the intensity of his dark blue eyes. Yes, he was different, but that was why she felt so immediately electrified. Here was a man with passion—someone who could love. But when they met, she was still on the rebound of her failed marriage and got involved way too soon. What seemed like disarming emotional honesty in the beginning revealed itself to be nothing more than a self–involved kind of neediness. And then there was the drinking.
"Meister honors Dorothy Parker, her still-fresh political convictions, and her body of witty, insightful work in this very nice literary romp.... Parker was the perfect New Yorker: sharp, witty and eminently quotable. And it is clear that Meister had a lot of responsible fun paying tribute to her."
"Meister skillfully translates the rapier-like wit of the Algonquin Round Table to modern-day New York ... [with] pathos, nuanced characters, plenty of rapid-fire one-liners, and a heart-rending denouement."
"With a breezy and engaging writing style complete with Parkeresque banter…. [Farewell, Dorothy Parker] will be enjoyed by readers."
—Library Journal
"Magical fun."
— Booklist
"[Meister] reveals the pathos behind the pith...Classic Parker zingers sprinkled throughout the novel add sparkle."

Brightcove CEO slams Facebook, wants end to "wars" over platforms

text: Mamale, Poland Joseph Green and Konrad Tom's 1938 musical comedy, Mamale, was the last Jewish film made in Poland before the Nazi onslaught. Starring Molly Picon as Khavtshi, it tells the story of a young girl who promised her dying mother that she would take care of her large and unappreciative family. Overburdened with the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, laundering, child care, and matchmaking, Khavtshi surprises herself and her siblings by falling in love with the violinist across the couryard. In this clip, Khavtshi watches her ancestors come alive as she flips through an old album. Imagining herself as the dancer featured in the photograph, Khavtshi's reveries come to life on screen.

CARY — The "coming soon" sign at Cary Towne Center points at a new direction for the towns biggest indoor mall: A Dave and Busters bar and arcade is under construction, replacing about a dozen smaller spots.
For mall management, the grown-up fun-plex is a way to draw attention and life to the mall. Locals lately have worried about the centers future, asking whether it will be able to hold on amid a flood of big-box stores, online merchants, strip malls and open-air centers.
In online reviews, most customers complain about or praise the lack of crowds, and many have noted a seeming decline in the malls shopping options and popularity.
Theres a lot of places to shop in the region. We want to have things that will bring people to this mall, said Josh Harmon, the new manager of Cary Towne Center. Theres going to be a big focus, really, across the industry on shopper-tainment, if you will something thats tangible, that you see and taste and touch.
At Dave and Busters, customers will see televisions, taste beer and touch video games.
The popular barcade chain has only one outlet in North Carolina; its new location, to open this fall, will occupy 30,000 square feet, replacing spaces just across from the Belk store, according to leasing plans.
Bringing the new attraction is a solid thing were doing to revitalize the mall, Harmon said.
The mall also will build a 2,000-square-foot childrens play area, and its in talks to bring new tenants potentially restaurants to the space occupied now by a Harris Teeter. (The grocery store is moving across the street, to the former Galaxy Cinema location.)
Eventually, owner CBL Properties may consider a much more dramatic change for Cary Towne Center, which began life as Cary Village Shopping Mall in 1979 alongside a Big Star Food Store, according to local history books.
CBL is conducting an internal assessment for the potential modernization and repositioning of Cary Towne Center. The company is considering transforming the mall toward something more along the lines of the North Hills mall in Raleigh, according to a letter from a company vice president to the Cary Town Council earlier this year.
North Hills bills itself as Raleighs Midtown, a multi-faceted district with open-air shopping, compared to the air-conditioned pavilions of the current Cary mall.
Theres been a big commitment to this property, Harmon said. Were really starting to do what we can, and were looking at other options, as far as maybe larger development.

Preservation of optimal residual limb length following a traumatic amputation can be challenging. The purpose of this study was to determine if acceptable results can be achieved by definitive fixation of a long-bone fracture proximal to a traumatic amputation.
We identified thirty-seven active-duty military service members who underwent internal fixation of a long-bone fracture proximal to a traumatic amputation. Functional status was assessed with the Tegner activity level scale and prosthesis use. Secondary outcome measures were the development of nonunion, infection, and heterotopic ossification.
Twelve patients (32%) underwent amputation and fracture in the same osseous segment. Ten patients (27%) sustained bilateral traumatic amputations, and eight (22%) had a major fracture of the contralateral extremity. The median times to fracture fixation and amputation closure were twelve days and nineteen days, respectively, after the injury. The mean Tegner activity score was 3.32 (range, 1 to 6); patients with isolated extremity injuries had significantly higher Tegner scores than those with severe bilateral injuries (3.59 and 2.38, respectively; p = 0.04). Thirty-three patients (89%) developed an infection requiring surgical debridement. However, all fractures were treated until union occurred, and amputation level salvage was successful in all instances. Heterotopic ossification developed in twenty-eight patients (76%), with operative excision required in eleven patients (39%).
High complication rates, but acceptable final results, can be achieved with internal fixation of a fracture proximal to a traumatic amputation to preserve functional joint levels or salvage residual limb length.
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Figs. 1-A through 1-D A twenty-nine-year-old man was injured by an improvised explosive device, sustaining an open femoral fracture and open proximal tibial fracture in the left lower extremity and bilateral transtibial amputations. After provisional external fixation of the femoral fracture, serial irrigation and debridement procedures were performed. When the femoral and tibial wounds in the left limb were clean, he underwent intramedullary nailing of the femur and open reduction and internal fixation of the tibia with a lateral locking plate. Fig. 1-A Preoperative anteroposterior radiograph of the left femur. Fig. 1-B Preoperative anteroposterior radiograph of the left tibia. Fig. 1-C Anteroposterior radiograph of both tibiae at two months postoperatively. Fig. 1-D Lateral radiograph of the left femur at three months postoperatively.

Update: 10:14 a.m. Dec. 4:
The charges Greenwich Police have filed against the University of Connecticut chemistry professor arrested this week in connection with a car vandalism spree, apparently isn't his first scrape with the law.
According to The UConn Daily Campus, Gabriel Fenteany, 46, of Vernon, has been arrested twice before on charges related to a domestic dispute, and was sent to the hospital because he had been drinking.
The incidents date back to June 2012 and involve his former wife who obtained an order of protection against Fenteany, according to The Daily Campus. He had been facing charges of violating that protective order and risk of injury to a minor. Other charges apparently include breach of peace, criminal mischief, interfering with an emergency call, resisting an officer, and third-degree assault for incidents that are being prosecuted in state Superior Court in Rockville.
According to records on the Connecticut Judicial Branch website, those cases are pending and Fenteany is awaiting disposition, scheduled for March 26, 2014. The website indicates those cases are sealed.
Meanwhile, Fenteany is not teaching at the university or working with The Fenteany Research Group at UConn, which is involved in research of wound healing, cancer and embryonic development. He has worked at UConn since 2006, according to a spokesperson.
"UConn has placed Mr. Fenteany on administrative leave and has prohibited him from campus until University and/or criminal investigations of the allegations have been concluded," according to a statement from university spokesperson Stephanie Reitz. "Arrangements are being made to cover his teaching duties and other professional responsibilities."
Original story: 10:42 p.m. Dec. 3:
A University of Connecticut chemistry teacher was charged Monday with peeing in a Greenwich parking lot and then ripping off the sideview mirrors of several high-end cars.
Gabriel Fenteany, 46, of 125 South St., Vernon, allegedly peed in a Lafayette Court parking lot in central Greenwich on Oct. 26 after visiting a friend. He is accused "spitting, kicking and ripping off the sideview mirrors of high-end cars," according to a Greenwich Police report. Fenteany, who is an associate professor at UConn, according to The Hartford Courant, is accused of damaging a 2014 BMW, two 2013 Audis, a 2003 and 2004 Lexus and a 2011 Honda Civic.
According to a Greenwich Police report, Fenteany was arrested by UConn police Dec. 2 and transferred to the custody of Greenwich Police who had obtained an arrest warrant charging him with first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal mischief, fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree breach of peace, in connection with the incidents. Following the vandalism spree, police said they were reviewing security videos from neighboring buildings to help identify the suspect.
Fenteany was released on a written promise to appear Dec. 9 in state Superior Court in Stamford.

Gold prices climbed to a two-and-a-half week high of $1,608.30 an ounce on Monday as the controversial bailout plan for Cyprus, which threatens renewed uncertainty in the euro zone, led to buying of the safe-haven metal.
However, doubts remain over whether the bounce in the precious metal that has fallen out of favor with investors this year, down 4 percent since the start of 2013, can be sustained.
According to Warren Gilman, chairman and CEO of investment firm CEF Holdings, a long-term gold bull, this does not mark a turning point for the safe haven asset.
(Read More: Cyprus Bailout Crisis Slams Brakes on Risk-On)
"I don't think the gold trade will come back. This is a short-term run. By the end of this week we'll sell off again," he said, noting that the worries over the Cyprus bailout deal will pass, and risk appetite will return given the brightening outlook for the U.S. economy.
Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets Asia Pacific agrees, noting that the upside in gold is not yet "conclusive."
"The markets had an initial reaction, but they will take a wait and see attitude to see how significant the response is from European investors tonight and how this plays out over the next few days," he said.
Traders have become used to waiting for situations to evolve before acting, he added.
Spooner said a key level he is watching is $1,635 - 2.4 percent higher than current levels - as an indicator of the momentum in the gold trade.
(Read More: Cyprus Finance Minister: We Hope People Will Believe Us)
"To really take the view that what we are seeing is an upward correction against the recent downtrend, I would want to see it break above that level [$1,635]," he said. "If it did, that would be a sign of a more serious rally."
Tom Price, global commodity analyst at UBS, however, believes the case for gold is rising with the new element of uncertainty the Cyprus bailout has cast in Europe.
Euro zone finance ministers want Cypriots with deposits of over 100,000 euros ($128,950) to fork out 9.9 percent of their savings while those with less than a hundred thousand euros will be hit with a 6.75 percent levy in order to raise 5.8 billion euros, so that the country is eligible for an international bailout. Investors are concerned that taxing depositors will set a dangerous precedent for the euro zone and ultimately risk runs on regional banks.
"One of the reasons gold has been coming off is that there has been a view that the risk in Europe was limited and most of their financial market issues were resolved - this Cypriot package highlights a new risk relating to the terms of the deal," Price said.
(Read More: Cyprus Bailout 'Disaster' Risks New Euro Crisis)
"This uncertainty could provide a brand new support for gold for days or even weeks," he added.
Price expects the precious metal to trade in a range of $1,600-$1,700 in the coming weeks.
However, he said that if European policymakers provide clarity on why Cyprus has been assigned such bailout terms, highlighting that it is a one-off, then gold will likely fall out of favor with investors once again.

John Patrick "Gribb" Gribble was 52 when he left this life Saturday, June 15, 2013, to join his parents, the late John Marston Gribble, who passed from this life just last year, and Glenna Claudine Shaffer Gribble, who passed from this life in 1981. Although his death was sudden and unexpected, he was doing one of the things he loved, which was spending time with friends.
Gribb was born Monday, June 27, 1960, in Gallipolis, Ohio, and attended the schools of Tucker County, having graduated from Tucker County High School in 1979. He had worked various jobs in the Parsons area including Asplundh and most recently had been working for Parsons Woodworking. He loved hunting, fishing, being outdoors, spending time with his buddies and especially enjoyed listening to music. He also was very good at cooking on the grill. He had a great sense of humor with which he used to make those around him laugh and enjoy his company all the more.
Left to cherish Gribb's memory are his sister, Catherine "Cathy" Jones and her husband, Ronnie, of Hambleton; his niece, Kerstin Jones; several cousins; and his many friends.
