COLLEGE STATION, Texas – In the first edition of the State Farm Lone Star Showdown, No. 20 Texas A&M fended off a late second-half rally by rival Texas to secure its fourth-straight win in Big 12 Conference play, 66-57, Saturday afternoon before a season-high crowd of 4,910 at Reed Arena.
In the finals seconds of regulation, senior Morenike Atunrase (Shreveport, La.) was sent to the free throw line twice where she converted 3-of-4 shots to give A&M (17-6, 5-4) a nine-point edge and its second consecutive win over the Longhorns (15-8, 3-6) in the 72-game series between the two storied rivals.
A&M led by as many as 19 points with 33 seconds left in the first half of play as UT trailed 39-22 at halftime. The Longhorns made their comeback in the second half and cut the lead to as few as four points with 1:45 to go, 59-55. Defensively, the Aggies kept UT on its toes forcing 21 turnovers including 12 in the first half alone.
Junior Danielle Gant (Oklahoma City, Okla.) scored 18 of her game-high 25 points in the first half and combined with teammates Takia Starks (Houston, Texas) and Patrice Reado (Houston, Texas) to account for 48 of the team's final 66 points in the ballgame. Gant nearly tripled her career-best performance against the Longhorns in five tries on 8-of-12 shooting from the floor. Starks turned in 13 points, while Reado was short of a double-double with 10 points and a game-high nine rebounds for A&M.
Three Texas players scored in double figures including a team-high 12 points from Earnesia Williams. The A&M defense held leading scorers Brittainey Raven and Ashley Lindsey to only 10 points each.
Senior point guard A'Quonesia Franklin (Tyler, Texas) contributed a well-rounded game for the Aggies with 10 of the team's 17 assists coupled with nine points, five rebounds and two steals versus the Longhorns. It marked her seventh double-digit assist game of her career as A&M improved to 10-2 at home this year. Meanwhile, Texas remained winless on the road in Big 12 play.
The Aggies travel to No. 10 Oklahoma (16-4, 6-2) for a Tuesday, Feb. 12 road matchup at 7 p.m. in Norman, Okla.

On the team's first-half performance …
"In the first half, we played as well as we could. The key in the first half was getting (Ashley) Lindsey to commit two fouls after she was playing so well offensively. I thought we had our way at the end of the first half with (Danielle) Gant going against kids her size in there and she was able to finish. That was a big play in the first half. I really like our decision making in the first half. We were taking care of the ball and we knew where the traps were coming even though we had nine turnovers. They trap better than anyone in our league. You have to give them credit. What Gail (Goestenkors) is doing to their personnel is accentuating their strengths. They are one of the better defensive ballclubs we have played all year. In the second half, I said, 'let's just win the first five minutes.' We came out and played so sluggish, but Texas was doing the same thing. Somebody was going to wake up and want to win this ballgame along the way and Texas did. We made enough plays down the stretch and Aqua (Franklin) made a lot of good decisions."
On players who stood out in the game and the team getting their fourth-straight Big 12 win …
"(Patrice) Reado is a street player and did a good job early for us. We were able to play her for a half and keep her out of foul trouble. She is just playing well for us right now. Rebounding was the key. I thought we did a good job o the boards the whole ballgame. Texas is like a mirror image of ourselves. Our personnel is very similar. I'm just happy for the win. They were mixing up the zone and man in the second half and we weren't doing a good job. This game was so important to us, because we were playing at home. The sluggishness, we have done this before. But, Aqua (Franklin) wasn't going to let us lose at the end. A lot of people have written us off and said maybe last year was a fluke. We are not a fluke. We are a hardworking team. We know who we are and what we can do. We just take it one game at a time."
On the team's fourth consecutive win in Big 12 play and the team finally finding their stride …
"I think we are. It all started with the Kansas game. In practice this week, we had great intensity and great focus which I believe has led to this win tonight. We figured that out for the first couple of games that we lost that the target was on us and we have to come out and player hard every game."
On the first half and second half of play and what the team has changed …
"In the second half, they (Texas) did a tremendous job of switching from zone and man. They did a great job on transition and got the ball to the hole. We came out a little flat and we wanted to jump out on them in the first five minutes coming out of halftime, but they did a great job of scoring. Basically, we wanted to do what we have been doing the last four games inside and outside. We did a great job of pressuring on defense. That's been our main focal point – to get back to the defense we played last year."
On the game and opportunities inside …
"In the first half, my teammates saw me posting up on the right block and found me in the game and I delivered for them. Everyday we go through a three-on-three rebounding drill. The past couple of games, we have been rebounding well. Now, I take rebounding as a challenge and try to be aggressive as I can."
On the game …
"I have to give great credit to A&M. They came ready to play and had great focus and energy. The defense, especially in the first half, was the best I've seen them play. When they got us to turn the ball over a couple of times, it fed their energy and they became more aggressive. That's some of the best defense we've seen in a long time. As far as my team, when we got the two fouls on Ashley (Lindsey) and Britt (Raven), our energy level went down. We got away from our game plan. I was very proud of our effort in the second half to make a game of it. This is another game where we gained valuable experience and we will learn and grow. It's been a tough road, but we keep getting better."
On the rivalry and containing A&M's Danielle Gant …
"The crowd was excellent. I think this is going to be a great rivalry. I know it has been in the past and I know it will be in the future. I've known Gary (Blair) for many, many years. He's an outstanding coach and competitor. It's like a chess match when you play him. He's always thinking the game. I anticipate many great games in the year's to come. She (Gant) did a great job. We lost her in the zone. She doesn't get out of her game. She's very strong and has a great mid-range jumper."
On the team's demeanor at halftime and what Coach Goestenkors said in the lockerroom…
"We just had to come out and play with heart. When A&M got on their run, our body language was if the game was already over. She gave us a motivation speech about teams coming back from 20 points down and winning games. She said that we could be that team today."
On the team's second-half comeback …
"We were disappointed that we let the game get out of our hands at halftime. In the second half, we just went out there and played like we should have. People came off the bench and gave us some energy. We started to score and get our rhythm back and I think that's what got us back into the game."

Patient Comments: Gastroparesis - Treatment
What kinds of treatment, including diet and medication, have you tried for gastroparesis?
Comment from: MedicalIssues2, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 29
On diagnosis of gastroparesis I was immediately put on a very restrictive, low-calorie diet; a slice of white bread, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter/day, 6 saltines, 4 oz of no fat broth, pureed soup, and 4 oz of canned peaches or pears for a snack. I was referred to a registered dietician who specialized in diabetes and gastroparesis diets, and I record every single bite of food I consume every single day to review with her, along with how I feel. I had to cease taking my anxiety medication, my anti-depressant, and other medications because they weren't being absorbed properly anymore. I usually drink several 10 oz glasses of water a day, I have to be sure I'm not getting too full of anything.
Comment from: Ebyn, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 01
I went to a naturopath who started off by using stool samples to measure gut enzymes. We first worked to get them in balance. Instead of OTC meds for heartburn which actually decrease digestive enzymes I took DGL. Over the years an elimination diet showed increased food sensitivities and a gluten free (I do not have celiac) and vegan (due to egg allergy and lactose sensitivities) diet improved symptoms tremendously. A recent abdominal surgery to address endometriosis triggered the gastroparesis. I am told the anesthesia, pain medications, and stress on gastrointestinal tract due to procedure and post-surgical diet led to the flare up. I have used aloe vera juice to decrease pain from inflammation, and enteric coated peppermint oil to decrease spasms and pain. I take digestive enzymes with each solid food meal and use kefir and kombucha to maintain enzyme balance. Amazing Grass nutritional supplement and coconut water for electrolyte balance. My symptoms have improved since surgery but I am still well below baseline. Pressure point on wrist for nausea. I use yoga, rhythmic breathing, massage and therapy to keep my stress down. Next... acupuncture. I take up so much time each day to try to create a calm environment and to stay as healthy as possible. It gets frustrating but I am thankful I am still able to eat a little even if I am not symptom free like before.
Comment from: sad mother, 25-34 Female (Caregiver) Published: February 12
My daughter had GERD and gastroparesis. She had to have a surgical procedure called a Nissen fundoplication. She had her first one in 2005. She had to have a second one in December 2012. All the possible problems listed above, happened to her. She had yeast infection in her PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line, she became septic 3 or 4 times, she could no longer swallow so they placed a feeding tube through her nose. Now, that wasn"t enough so they started her on TPN (total parenteral nutrition). My daughter had her surgery December 02, 2012. She was home from December 18 to January 01, 2013 then sent back to hospital about 400 miles from our town. On March 05, 2013, they found my daughter without any vital signs. She had died due to an adverse reaction to the TPN. This had caused her lungs to crystallize. She was a 34 year old mother of 4 children, wife and daughter. I hope people take this disease seriously.
Comment from: 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: January 13
I was diagnosed with gastroparesis three years ago. I've been a diabetic for 17 years, so now I'm on a very strict diet; like no sugar, low fiber, low residue, low carb, low fat, and cutting other foods. I'm nauseous all day long and I'm in pain. I take anti-nausea pills and pain killers with a few other medications to help my stomach. It is very hard to control or predict.
Comment from: lonley 36, 35-44 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 07
I am 36 years old, and was diagnosed with gastroparesis last year. It took 10 years for them to diagnose me. Everyone said it was in my head or stress. If you don't have this, you just can't understand how painful and miserable this is. I feel so full after just a few bites of food and am always nauseated after I eat. This keeps me up all night, and I am always exhausted. I also have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) from this. They discovered I had this from a heart catheterization. Half of my vagus nerve is dead. So I will need a heart and gastric pacemaker in my future. I am currently taking Erythromycin. Sometimes it works other times I still suffer. I hate this, all I want to do is eat and be normal. Nobody understands what this is like for us. It takes over my life sometimes. I work two jobs and have three kids, so it is hard to manage this sometimes.

Tastykake bakes up materials handling success
Voice recognition speeds bakery fresh treats to customers at Tasty Baking's new state-of-the-art bakery. Terry Sabler, director of distribution (left) and Autumn Bayles, senior vice president of strategic operations (right) oversee distribution.
For more than 80 years, the bulk of the apple pies, Butterscotch Krimpets and Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes that made Tastykake a household name in Philadelphia were baked in a flagship bakery built in the 1920s by the Tasty Baking Company.
Like many iconic structures, it had outlived its usefulness. "It was a multistory building that was hard to maneuver around and hard to maintain," says Autumn Bayles, senior vice president of strategic operations. "We had also outgrown the warehousing and shipping area and had to use another building around the corner. That led to a lot of double handling of product."
The solution was a state-of-the-art, 345,000-square-foot bakery, including 100,000 square feet of warehouse space, which opened for business in the summer of 2010. The overall facility was designed with sustainability in mind, including several features targeting LEED-Silver certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design initiative.

Vegetarians and vegans have a love-hate relationship with the meatless burger.
There's no beating the patties for convenience, and when done well, they're packed with flavor and texture. A bad veggie burger, however, tastes about as good as a sawdust-filled hockey puck.
Meat-free burgers are booming, thanks in large part to the growing number of people looking to reduce their consumption of animal protein for health and environmental reasons. One company, Beyond Meat, made headlines last spring for developing a meatless burger that so mimics one made from ground beef that it even "bleeds." (Beet juice and pea protein make up the bulk of the burger.)

Thank You Jericho and Underhillfor the honor of representing you for the last 12 years
I will not seek reelection to the Vermont House of Representatives this November. It has been my genuine honor and privilege toserve the great towns of Jericho and Underhill in the Vermont House in Montpelier for twelve years. I have loved serving in the legislature, but after much soul searching and many conversations with my family I have decided this is the right time for me to move on to other things. I truly enjoyed walking, riding my bike and driving to your homes every election cycle to ask for your vote. I have also appreciated the many emails, phone calls, letters and conversations from you with encouragement and opinions on the many pieces of legislation I have had to consider before me.
As your representative I have always used the criteria of doing what is best for Vermont and Vermonters when evaluating issues. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the honor and privilege of electing me to represent you in Montpelier. I will be available to assist all constituents with any concerns or issues you may need help with until the legislature convenes in January.
Leaving such a great job leaves me with time to reflect on the work I have had the privilege to be engaged in but I am excited to know that Trevor Squirrell will be running for the Jericho-Underhill seat.I know of no one more energetic, committed or qualified to continue the work I have been engaged in the last twelve years. I am pleased that Trevor has asked me to serve as Treasurer to his campaign.

Rational ClearCase High Availability Options on Linux for System z
This paper will present two highly available IBM Rational ClearCase architectures which can be setup on Linux for System z. This paper documents a Proof Of Concept (POC), providing detailed instructions for the installation and configuration environment. Values specific to that POC are used. High Availability is a broad term which needs to be defined further in terms of what is the recovery time objective. This paper assumes the definition is a seamless failover to the end user with less that 1 minute outage with zero data loss. Seamless is defined as no action is required to the client for redirection to another system. If a request fails, however, it might need to be reentered.

Why is it "your Majesty", but "my Lord"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

First, some etymology. I'll try to keep it short.
Lord has deep Germanic roots. Etymonline says:
Majesty was borrowed, ultimately from Latin and together with its meaning. Etymonline says:
Wikipedia adds:
What I take from all this is:
Very succinctly, majesty, grace, honor, and royal highness are qualities of the exalted person being addressed, while lord, liege, and king are titles describing the superior relationship of the one addressed (superior to me, that is).
Explaining "my lord" is easy, "my lord" is the person who is the lord of me. "Your lord" would be the person who is the lord of you rather than me.
The function of the possessive (your, her, his) in "your majesty" or "her majesty" or "his royal highness" seems to be to indicate that the noun indicates a person, but this is some kind of archaic or rare usage.
I would venture that lord is a title while Majesty comes from the adjective majestic. So "your majesty" means "you who are majestic", while "my lord" means "the lord of me".
A little late to this party, but it seems to me that no-one has made the most important point: namely that it's "my Lord", but "your Lordship" -- the point being that one refers to the individual directly ("my Lord"), and the other refers to the same individual obliquely ("your Lordship"), and is a kind of metonymy.

This Week in God, 7.30.16
In a speech that shook the walls of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. William Barber II, the President of the North Carolina NAACP, delivered one of the most riveting addresses of the Democratic National Convention.The 52-year-old pastor delivered a sermon to 20,000 seated and standing in an arena filled to the upper levels as well as in the exclusive suites.Barber's speech was one of the strongest of either the Republican or Democratic convention as it covered a wide path of moral territory in a nation with changing demographics that will soon permanently alter the future face of U.S. politics.

North Carolina voting restrictions rejected by appeals court
A federal appeals court on Friday struck down the heart of a North Carolina voting law seen as the strictest in the nation, finding that Republican lawmakers intentionally discriminated against African-Americans when they passed it.A divided 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the measure's provisions "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision."

Flipping the script without changing the platform
The country's two major political parties, emerging from their conventions to square off in the general election, are speaking to Americas unrecognizable to each other in voices that sound like a political and ideological role reversal.For Republicans, the country is a place of near-apocalyptic gloom whose best days are fast receding.

The city of Philadelphia, known as the city of brotherly love, is famous for its warm and welcoming approach to visitors. As a lone female traveler, a trip to this Pennsylvanian powerhouse of pop culture, high art, great eats, excellent shopping and sublime sports will be just perfect – however, don't come to Philly for a quiet break. It's not going to happen.
History for her
Philadelphia is the home of American independence, and there's a whole lot of history going on here. A visit to the Independence Visitor Center gives a girl a good overview of the historic situation. The famous Liberty Bell is not to be missed, and a visit to Independence Hall sets out the whole story of America's fight for democracy.
Serious shopping
Girls with an urge to spend and splurge on shopping trips in Philly will not be disappointed. There is plenty of choice and opportunity to offload large amounts of cash on pretty much anything. Those wishing to fill their bags with upscale branded clothing should head to the Central City and streets such as Walnut Street and Chestnut Street and the Rittenhouse Square area. As well as exclusive brands, there are all the usual larger department stores – enough to keep keen shoppers happy for some time. Young travelers will enjoy the appeal of the funky and offbeat shops on South Street, and with over 300 places to eat and shop it's advisable not to wear heels! For foodie treats head for America's first ever Farmers' Market, which dates back to 1893.
While this is not something I generally shop for, I made a pre-order for the Bosch Ra1181, a Dewalt Planer and a bosch 1617evspk to be delivered to my place back home. The price different just made it a no-brainer not to get one.
Those not in the mood for dining alone at a restaurant can pick up the fixings for an al fresco feast at this indoor market, perfect for eating in one of Philly's many public parks.
Cool culture
Philly is famous for its many cultural and arts festivals in the summer months. Add to that the many galleries and museums in the city, and the schedule is going to be tightly packed. Enjoy the exhibits at the impressive Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin Institute and the Academy Of Natural Sciences. If after all that quiet contemplation the urge to shout loudly takes over, there's nothing better than a hockey match to let off steam – get tickets for a Philadelphia Flyers game and cheer along the local team to win.
Keep safe
Girls traveling alone need to feel safe and confident, and that's not a problem in this city. Take sensible precautions and there's no need to feel any less safe in Philly than in a hundred other US cities. Tourist-magnets such as Chicago, New Orleans and Washington all have higher crime rates than Philadelphia, so keep fears in perspective and relax and enjoy the surroundings. The Central City areas where most visitors and tourists congregate are generally the safest areas, but don't let that stop you exploring further afield. Local knowledge is always the best, so ask at the hotel where the best places for single girls to hang out are.
The city of Philadelphia celebrates independence of all kinds, so those traveling alone will be greeted warmly. If a city break to Philly is planned, remember to bring an extra suitcase, wear flat shoes, cancel the diet and prepare for an enriching mix of culture, history and fun.

I know I'm usually funny, but, I couldn't figure out how to close the Lexus ad when it popped out? I had to leave the page & come back to get it to go away. I didn't have the option of going left or right to find where it said close. It was just up or down, I couldn't go over to the right side where the pop out closes.

Cousin Stevie has gathered quite the rowdy bunch for this Pussy Party. Just to start things off, tiny Kat d.p.s herself with two large toys, giving herself an anal rose and leaving a sopping puddle on the floor. Each contestant just seems to get nastier and more spirited from there, however, and when the orgy gets rolling, it's a no-holds-barred, screaming, squirting bonanza. Points are lost for the occasional random guy in the shot and splatterings on the camera lens that don't get wiped off. But those seeking hard-edged girl/girl fare won't be disappointed.

I am user of a Windows computer without admin rights and just installed Canopy Python from Enthought (and I was really excited that I was able to do this without admin rights). I would now like to install an external package (that is not available in Canopy Python as an academic user). The instructions on the support page from Enthought suggest that to install an external package, we can just open a command window, make sure that Canopy Python is on the SHELL path, and then "follow standard Python installation procedures from the command line," with the suggested approach being to use easy_install. However, as a non-admin, when trying to use easy_install, a dialog box pops up requesting a admin username/password (which I do not have as a regular user). Does anyone know if it is possible to use easy_install as a non-admin or if there is an alternative solution to install external packages for non-admin users for Canopy Python?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Is it possible that you are picking up the

Please try using the full address explicitly and see if that works, in theory you should not need admin rights.
Update: The problem is due to one of the heuristics used by Windows UAC to determine if an application requires privilege escalation: If there is the word "setup" or "install" in the name, it will prompt for elevation. (See the answer below by Mona regarding which files to rename.) It's probably easier to rename easy_install, and use it to install
As an update, after searching some more on User Access Control (UAC) on windows (and coming across something that mentioned that having "install" in the name of a program may cause problems, but I do not know for sure if this was the cause of a problem in my case), I just tried the following "hack" which worked for me (but perhaps someone else can suggest a more elegant solution or can provide more feedback as to why this works):
Some additional comments: I received an error if I didn't perform step #3 above (renaming the .py file as well). Also, I needed to type the full path to easy.exe in this case from the command line.
This worked for me (and I can use the external package), but again, my guess is that there should be a more "official" solution that does not require renaming easy_install.

Shore Line East is expanding train service to Old Saybrook and New London as part of a new spring schedule announced Friday by the state Department of Transportation.
The announcement was made before two Metro-North trains collided near Fairfield Friday night. It was unclear Friday how the accident would affect Shore Line East service. Shore Line East, which synchronizes its schedule to Metro-North's in New Haven, canceled several westbound trains to New Haven Friday evening, according to its Twitter feed.
The Shore Line East's expanded service includes new weekend train service to Old Saybrook, new weekday late-morning service to Old Saybrook and New London, and two special Friday-only trains between New Haven and Old Saybrook.
The expanded service, along with changes to train departure and arrival times, is scheduled to start today, though Friday's train derailment could disrupt some service.
"This service has been contemplated for some time and is based on needs that have been voiced in southeastern Connecticut by commuters, state and local officials and public transit advocates," DOT Spokesman Judd Everhart said.
Four new trains are being added to the weekday schedule, including two trains each to and from New London and Old Saybrook. Trains will depart New Haven at 9:12 a.m. for Old Saybrook and at 11:02 a.m. for New London. Trains will depart Old Saybrook at 10:55 a.m. for New Haven and depart New London at 12:15 p.m. for New Haven.
The two Friday-only trains will leave New Haven at 2:10 p.m. for Old Saybrook and depart Old Saybrook at 3:05 p.m. for New Haven.
Shore Line East is adding three trains to each weekend day, for a total of 19 trains to be operated each weekend day to and from Old Saybrook.
Additional weekend service to and from New London is anticipated in the near future. Amtrak, which owns the line between New Haven and New London, has submitted an application for the additional service to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. Approval is required because of the rail bridges crossing water between Old Saybrook and New London. Bridges cross the Connecticut River, Niantic River and Shaw's Cove in that area.
Shore Line East trains are owned and operated by the DOT under contract with Amtrak to provide daily rail operations. It provides about 500,000 passenger trips each year, operating nine stations in eight towns, Everhart said.
Commuter operations began in 1990, serving seven stations along the 33-mile segment of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between New Haven and Old Saybrook, Everhart said. The service was extended to New London in 1996. A second station at State Street in New Haven was opened about 10 years ago.

Can someone please explain what the raisins were for?
Inmate tries daring escape with newspaper, raisins
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - State prison officials said an inmate is in solitary after he tried to escape from Columbia Correctional Institution. Department of Corrections spokesman John Dipko said 49-year-old James Frederick was supposed to pick up food carts when he bolted for the perimeter fences. He had stuffed his clothes with newspapers to protect him from razor wire that lined the top of the first fence. He also had a large bag of raisins with him.

Long-lost family of a German-Jewish refugee who died alone in his Maida Vale flat will gather on Sunday for the stone-setting.
In December 2010, British Ort was contacted by police searching for relatives of Franz Joseph Nebel, whose body had been found some months earlier.
British Ort executive director Dr Noga Zivan said police had found a reference to Ort at the flat - Mr Nebel had attend
Hannah Rosenthal, Barack Obama's special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, has travelled to Malmö, Sweden, for a closed-doors meeting with the city's mayor who has been accused of fomenting hatred of Jews.
Ilmar Reepalu recently told Swedish magazine Neo that the far-right Sweden Democrat party has "infiltrated the Jewish community in order to push its hatred of Muslims".
The Swedish public television broadcaster SVT has stoked controversy by hiring a blogger with a history of making extreme anti-Israeli remarks.
Gina Dirawi, a 20-year-old of Palestinian descent, has landed the biggest gig on Swedish television: hosting the music talent show Melodifestivalen.
A Hollywood production company has cancelled plans to film a movie in Sweden because of a recent spike in antisemitic hate crimes.
Swedish school pupils will have the opportunity to take Jewish studies as an optional subject starting from this autumn.
After a lengthy consultation period, the Swedish government has commissioned the National Agency for Education to formulate a study plan for the new course, which will be available to pupils in years seven to nine (ages 13 to 15).
The president of the European Jewish Congress (EJC) has warned of "a very dark period for the Jews in Europe."
Moshe Kantor said: "Small Jewish communities are facing a situation where they are being physically, verbally and psychologically threatened by fundamentalist elements and their extreme left-wing cohorts on one side and the far-right neo-Nazis on the other."
While stand-up comedy has been common in Sweden since the late 1980s, Swedish-Jewish stand-up is a new phenomenon. Spearheaded by performers Aron Flam and Jonatan Unge, comedy by and about Jews is becoming an unexpected, and big, hit.
Mr Flam (pictured) and Mr Unge, both in their early 30s, met at a Jewish summer camp in the Stockholm archipelago and later co-authored a sardonic book of quotes and facts about death. Since their stand-up debuts in 2007, both have become regular guests in Swedish TV studios, asked to comment on everything from Jewish identity to Swedish politics.
Members of the Swedish Jewish community have expressed sadness after an attack on a synagogue in the city of Malmö.
Security has been stepped up after a bomb threat was left at the synagogue and the following day a firecracker exploded outside, shattering three windows.
It was reportedly the second threat to the synagogue in as many weeks.
In March 2009 there were violent anti-Israel demonstrations in Malmö when an Israeli tennis team arrived to play Sweden in the Davis Cup.
The man soon to be Britain's first Jewish ambassador to Israel was given a warm reception on Wednesday when he met the Manchester community.
Matthew Gould spoke at King David High School as part of a UK tour before leaving for Tel Aviv in eight weeks' time.
But it was not an easy ride for the Foreign Office high-flyer.
Almost as soon as he finished his hour-long address, he was challenged for not having spoken about the EU's attitude to Israel.
Another member of the audience questioned the viability of a two-state solution for Israel, a firm British government position.
Poland has issued a European arrest warrant for a Swedish man whom it says is behind the theft of the 'Arbeit Macht Frei" sign at Auschwitz in December.
A court in Krakow issued the warrant for Swede Anders Hoegstroem, who, it is claimed, was the mastermind of the theft of the sign, which infamously read "Work Sets You Free" above the Nazi death camp.
Five Polish men aged in their 20s and 30s have been arrested by police who recovered the 16-foot wrought-iron sign cut into three pieces.

JGD #36: Securing The Playoffs
Kevin McCartney
December 27 2014 03:29PM
The Jets return from the holiday break sitting 6th in the West, but still 4th in the Central and thus in a Wildcard playoff spot. The teams in the hunt as the calendar turns appear to be Calgary - a team with just two wins in their last ten games and more reasons for doubt than hope - and Minnesota.
The Wild are 8 points back of the Jets, but hold three games in hand. A home-and-home series between the teams could take the story in either direction, and despite a stellar two months with Paul Maurice behind the bench, the success of 2014 rests on Winnipeg's ability to put Minnesota firmly in the rear view mirror.

This documentary received rave reviews when it debuted at the South by Southwest Film Festival, and it's easy to see why. "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" is a fantastic, engaging film about an extremely driven man at a crossroads in his professional life.
Apart from a couple of questions posed to Conan throughout the film, there is no audio commentary/voice-over from Rodman Flender. The footage speaks for itself, and the camera-work is intimate without feeling invasive. The film includes some footage of the actual tour performances, but the vast majority of the documentary is focused behind-the-scenes, and takes us on a complete journey of the tour: from the first tweet announcing the release of tickets to the final show in Atlanta. Along the way, we see Conan perform at every opportunity, even on his days off. We see a man unable to resist meeting and entertaining his fans even when he seems at times to barely have the energy to stand up. We see his interactions with his staff and crew, including sidekick Andy Richter (their genuine friendship over and above their comedic rapport is abundantly clear). The film also includes some heart-warming moments with Conan's family.
All in all, for 89 minutes, this film showcases the real life of a talented, intense performer and man, including the ups and downs and the hilarity and the tired crankiness. A very entertaining, honest and eye-opening film.
The tour moments are fun, especially the backstage bits. During the Radio City Music Hall show, we see Conan, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert backstage preparing their skit a mere 9 minutes before they go onstage and perform it. We really see the creativity that went into this tour and they pulled it off nicely. There are moments after the shows where he complains about not wanting to meet fans, but he does it anyways. He definitely shows much appreciation for them and all of their support.
We get to see a darker side of Conan in the film. At one point, he teases Jack McBrayer, calling him a hick and even making up a song on the spot that's very dark, yet I found myself laughing. Who wouldn't be able to go into a darker place after losing one of the biggest television shows of all time? Honestly the film made me love Conan even more. Even though he does act somewhat mean at times, his amazing team still sticks with him. He has such a wonderful group of people supporting him. There are some really nice moments of him with long time friend and sidekick, Andy Richter. You can really tell that they will always be there for each other. Also I have to give credit to Sona Movsesian, Conan's assistant, who handles him well at some pretty rough times.Read more ›

They have different rear shocks as well, I think.

Lesrace82- you are absolutely right!!! My bad I wasnt thinking about the shocks. The Derro 1.0 has the fox RP2 and the 2.0 has the Float R. Either way I have rode bikes with both and the way the frame set up on both the 1.0/2.0 is each rear shock to me feels exactly the same. I guess if you need higher end parts than go with the 1.0. Of course when my shocks go out I will upgrade them.
I will say this about the Derro line of bikes is this... lately I have been noticing that going down hill fast, in the Arizona terrain the bike feels unstable at times!?! Not sure if its just me or the terrain itself? Does anyone else feel this way?
I dont ride DH and have never been on a DH specific bike so I cant compare. My bike weights in at 22lbs so maybe it might be the lightness of my bike and the fact that I only weight 165lbs. Either way I have put mass amounts of miles on this bike over the last year and have loved every minute of it!!!
I cant wait to put on my SLX cranks this next week. I have been putting it off for months now and almost forgot I had them since I moved but they are going on this week and this should lighten the weight a fraction. I only got them because I dont use the granny or big ring and I wanted to go to a 2 x 9 with honeycomb guard... I am still debating on just not putting on the granny gear and going 1 x 9,
Put em away wet, ride hard!!!

I've been lurking on this thread for a while now and I'm glad for all the input on the Derro. More so now that I have cracked my Ace frame and I'm getting a Derro frame as a replacement.

As in "replacement"? That be great norton. I'm thinking it will be quite an upgrade not that the Ace wasn't serving it's purpose.

I loved the Ace, but i got a crack by the tope tube/seat tube junction. I hope this frame will continue the legacy.
No doubt, or a new legacy.
I just put on my Cranks this week and damn the bike stands out! Next month I will be custom painting my Derro frame to a Matte Black and rims will be burnt Mopar orange. I think I might get the bars painted to match the rims. Not sure yet what I want to do to the rest? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! I am def going with the frame being black and bars and rims burnt orange. Kinda want the bike to be low key but also stand out!

Low key.
So I am going to revive this thread, in case anyone else wants to post pictures of their Derro!
Becaaaaaaaauuuuuse I JUST GOT ONE! $200 off with the labor day sale at PricePoint woooo!! I can't wait to have this baby down to 25lbs (if its possible lol)
^Thanks for bumping this thread. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I built up a Derro frame as a replacement for a cracked Ace frame. I am really impressed with how this bike handles. It's my go to bike most of the time, my other bike being a Knolly Endorphin. It climbs well and handles the tech stuff fine.

I have been looking at these for a while to replace my 2005 hardrock sport. Its been a good bike for the past 8 years but i feel like its time to move on to a full suspension. The trails i ride are pretty rocky (burns park in Little Rock AR). I tested out a trek fuel ex 8 29 last weekend. Even though it was in the parking lot it seemed pretty sweet. Of course it better be for $3000 haha. My original plan is to just go with a trek fuel ex5 29 at my local shop but this sette derro seems very attractive. It even has the tires i like. The only thing i am nervous about is not being able to check it out before i buy it. But at the same time a $1k price savings is pretty huge. I know both bikes will be a huge upgrade from my $350 hardrock sport haha. Does anyone have an opinion between the two bikes i mentioned? By the way the trails i ride are rocky, rooty, hilly, fast kind of trails. I dont get the wheels any higher than a few feet off the ground so no all mountain type stuff here.
I just noticed all they have on pricepoint are 19" and 21" sizes . That changes things up for sure now.
There is probably a new bike coming from Pricepoint. You might want to wait until the replacement model comes out, unless you can find a used Derro frame or bike.
My wife's Derro 2.0. It came with a RockShox Monarch that was frozen open so they sent me a free replacement Fox RP2. I first installed a 27.5 front wheel this past summer because I liked the handling so much on my Trek Fuel EX9. Then added a 27.5 to the rear of my Fuel and loved the ride so much more that I tried it on her Derro. It's a perfect fit and rides great!
If you're looking to upgrade your Derro, check out converting it to 27.5 (I prefer 650B, but the rest of the industry seems to be leaning towards calling this 27.5").
2010 Fuel EX9: Eat Paleo, Feel Great!
Dirt is Natural, Pavement is Un-natural, Stay Dirty My Friends!
Hmm...I've read elsewhere that you can't 650 the Derro frame. Can you post some pics of tire clearance at the fork, chainstays, seatstays, front derailleur, and the seat tube at full shock compression?
That would be SUPER helpful to those of us on the fence about buying a Derro.
Also, Derro owners, I'm a 6'1 235# lummox. How much of a beating can these bikes take? I know it's a 100mm trail bike, but would you say it falls to the tougher or the lighter end of that spectrum? How's the rigidity? Those stays look rather spindly.
Looking for the person who tapped and pinned a set of Shimano A530 pedals - can't find the thread! Shoot me a PM. Thanks!
Okay lummox, (Fuzz541) I was 220# and I ride a Trek Fuel EX9 frame which is pretty beefy for a XC full suspension bike. And that bike has flex at my 220# (I'm 185# now and all the flex I get is in the wheels). So knowing what I know about the Derro, I'd say no, you need to spend more $$ and get a bike with beefier pivot points, especially the main pivot. Nothing against the Derro or Pricepoint.com, they are reputable and stand behind their products. I'm sure they'll back you up (at least for the first 30 days). If you hammer hard, take drops and jumps then this bike isn't for you at the size. To me it's not about the front triangle, it's well built, I'd be concerned about the rear triangle and main pivot. It just don't think they can handle your beef.
Excellent work, Cutbert. I will use your services again and will be sure to tell all my friends.
Great pics, answering both my questions. I could squeeze a modest 650 in there but it would be a bad idea with bulky tires in wet conditions. And I could get away with a Derro as a discount XC bike but would be pushing it for anything but fast trail riding.
Just to be a dink: Is there a little more room under the fork or is it as close as the swingarm brace?
More space in the Fox forks. I've seen posts where some have put 2.20 or 2.35 tires on. Go to the 27.5 forum to see more.
Interesting! On a side note, I had the lower pivot bolts come loose. No biggie, but just a heads up.

Potholes along the laugh track: Comics recall their starts
Published: Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 5, 2010 at 2:46 a.m.
What glories await a brave, wisecracking upstart who decides to pursue a career in stand-up comedy? If you can distinguish yourself at the microphone, maybe you'll earn your own headlining tour, movie roles or a television show, or a spot on the lineup of the New York Comedy Festival, the annual celebration of setups and punch lines that started on Wednesday and runs through Sunday. But prepare for a few rites of passage: antagonistic crowds, unglamorous performance spaces, living out of a suitcase while crisscrossing the country from club to club. And don't expect any of that to change, even after you've become a household name.
In these interview excerpts, five headliners from the New York Comedy Festival spoke about their formative stand-up experiences and shared some hard but amusing truths they've learned about making it in the funny business.
LOUIS C. K. was to perform at Carnegie Hall on Thursday.
Question: What did you think success would look like when you started out in comedy?
Answer: I pictured having record albums, because that's what people had back then. And concerts at Carnegie Hall, honestly, were a goal for me. Then albums went away because of cable television. But Carnegie Hall worked out. I figured I'd get a calligraphy-written envelope saying you've been invited by this committee. But now I know Carnegie Hall is just this place you rent, and it's actually better to play the Beacon. It's lower rent.
Question: Do you have any preshow rituals?
Answer: I like to get somewhere alone. It's nice to be at the hotel, with some room service. Sometimes I try to take a nap before shows. That clears my head. The show isn't a themeless stream of thoughts that started with whatever you went through that day.
Question: Do you have a joke you keep in your back pocket in case you need to win back the audience?
Answer: I don't really worry about losing the audience. What's that movie with Tom Cruise as a car race guy? "Days of Thunder." Robert Duvall teaches him that when there's a car crash, and you can't see because of the smoke, you just go straight through. If you follow their insecurity and their anxiety around, then you're chasing their problems, and nobody knows what's going on.
Question: Do you have a favorite place to work on new material?
Answer: Just on a stage — any stage. I could never sit down and write jokes.
ROSIE O'DONNELL is to perform at Town Hall on Friday.
Question: What did you think success would look like when you started out in comedy?
Answer: Every comedian's goal was to get on the Johnny Carson show, to get him to call you over to sit. I was never on the show with Johnny, and it was really a big disappointment for me, personally and professionally. And I always wanted to be on Broadway — I wanted to be one of the Sonias in "They're Playing Our Song." I wanted to be a Harlette, a backup singer for Bette Midler. I didn't have the standard stand-up comedy aspirations.
Question: Do you have any pre- or postshow rituals?
Answer: For stand-up I end up listening to really loud rap music before I go on. I like Eminem a lot. When I was younger I used to listen to everything from LL Cool J to the Beastie Boys. Afterwards I would have a couple beers, hang out with the waitresses, help them clean up as they're closing.
Question: Do you have a joke you keep in your back pocket in case you need to win back the audience?
Answer: There are many, and they're from my act, literally, 20-something years ago. It's pathetic. I was walking down 53rd Street a few months ago, and the owner of the Broadway Comedy Club said, "Hey, Rosie, will you come in?" There were all these young comics waiting to go on, all excited. I became the old comic stealing the young kid's spot.
MARGARET CHO performs at the Beacon Theater on Friday.
Question: What did you think success would look like when you started out in comedy?
Answer: I started stand-up when I was 14 and my professional career at 16, mostly because I had been so bullied as a kid. So success was just being away from kids my age and being able to perform every night.
Question: What's the best heckle you've ever gotten?
Answer: Oddly enough, I have not been heckled. I think people are just scared to heckle me, because I'm a woman of color, because I'm so outspoken politically and have a very stern, take-no-prisoners attitude onstage. I've been interrupted — by flowers, or, like, exclamations of affection. But never actually attacked.
Question: Where do you go when you need to come up with new material?
Answer: I live in Los Angeles and also in Atlanta, where there's a place called the Laughing Skull Lounge, which is a very small comedy club that only holds about 74 seats. I go there and do stuff every day. I'm able to bomb for months at a time. That's truly how you get good, is eating it.
Question: What line of work are your parents still hoping you'll get into?
Answer: They're hoping that I'll get my GED, which I still have not done yet. I think they really want me to go back — not to college, but to high school. I think they're still holding out that I may take the SATs one day. It's an attainable goal.
LUIS JIMENEZ performs at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday.
Question: What did you think success would look like when you started out in comedy?
Answer: I just wanted to keep my job. I felt success was being rich and buying whatever you want. At this point in my career I just work for — obviously the money — but the satisfaction that I'm doing a good job. I don't have a dream car anymore. I drive a 2005 4Runner.
Question: What's the best heckle you've ever gotten?
Answer: People that love you — so much that they just want to be part of the show — are more difficult to deal with than the heckler. You can't just call security and get him out. You go: "Hey, buddy, you are so good, you have earned a picture in front of the Empire State Building. Let's take him right now. Guys?"
Question: Where do you go when you need to come up with new material?
Answer: I have to write around my toys. I have everything from Mazinger — a Japanese cartoon thing — to Jack Bauer from "24," I have the Six Million Dollar Man. I have action figures that no kid would ever play with, like Sigmund Freud. Beethoven. Einstein. There's actually a factory with a machine that has a setting to make a Sigmund Freud action figure. What kid is going to say, "Oh, Mommy, I want to play with Einstein and Sigmund Freud?"
Question: What line of work are your parents still hoping you'll get into?
Answer: My dad registered me in a real estate class in Florida. I was a janitor at the time — I think it was an ambulance factory — and in the afternoon I would get to the class, pull up the car and fall asleep for two hours.

Question: What did you think success would look like when you started out in comedy?
Answer: Coming from an immigrant background, where a lot of parents don't want their kids to be comedians, success was just showing my mom that I could make a living. I was like, if I can get my mom off my back, that was my success.
Question: Where was the absolute worst place you played when you were still trying to get your career off the ground?
Answer: The first worst place I played was a strip club, where the booker said the owners had sold the club the night before. For some reason they took the microphones. We had to perform without mikes. They left the stripper poles, the strippers remained. But we were micless. "Micless in a Strip Club," that should be the name of my book.
Question: Do you have any preshow rituals?
Answer: I had done acting since I was 12 in school. The first time I performed at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles I was in the back of the room doing vocal exercises. "Me-me-me, my-my-my, mo-mo-mo." And I'm looking around and no one else is doing it. I'm like, they must have done it before they came to the club. I came to realize that I was an idiot. Everybody hangs out and walks right onstage. So, no more vocal warm-ups.
Question: What line of work are your parents still hoping you'll get into?
Answer: My mom was like, "Get your law degree first, become a lawyer, and then you can tell jokes on the weekends. You can be a lawyer and just throw jokes into your presentations." Now she's like, "Listen, you need to come up with new material." All of a sudden, my mom's a critic.
