"The road, to drive on which unskilled were Phaeton's hands."
To Apollo, the sun-god, and Clymene, a beautiful ocean-nymph, there was born in the pleasant land of Greece a child to whom was given the name of Phaeton, the Bright and Shining One. The rays of the sun seemed to live in the curls of the fearless little lad, and when at noon other children would seek the cool shade of the cypress groves, Phaeton would hold his head aloft and gaze fearlessly up at the brazen sky from whence fierce heat beat down upon his golden head.
"Behold, my father drives his chariot across the heavens!" he proudly proclaimed. "In a little while I, also, will drive the four snow-white steeds."
His elders heard the childish boast with a smile, but when Epaphos, half-brother to Apollo, had listened to it many times and beheld the child, Phaeton, grow into an arrogant lad who held himself as though he were indeed one of the Immortals, anger grew in his heart. One day he turned upon Phaeton and spoke in fierce scorn:
"Dost say thou art son of a god? A shameless boaster and a liar art thou! Hast ever spoken to thy divine sire? Give us some proof of thy sonship! No more child of the glorious Apollo art thou than are the vermin his children, that the sun breeds in the dust at my feet."
For a moment, before the cruel taunt, the lad was stricken into silence, and then, his pride aflame, his young voice shaking with rage and with bitter shame, he cried aloud: "Thou, Epaphos, art the liar. I have but to ask my father, and thou shalt see me drive his golden chariot across the sky."
To his mother he hastened, to get balm for his hurt pride, as many a time he had got it for the little bodily wounds of childhood, and with bursting heart he poured forth his story.
"True it is," he said, "that my father has never deigned to speak to me. Yet I know, because thou hast told me so, that he is my sire. And now my word is pledged. Apollo must let me drive his steeds, else I am for evermore branded braggart and liar, and shamed amongst men."
Clymene listened with grief to his complaint. He was so young, so gallant, so foolish.
"Truly thou art the son of Apollo," she said, "and oh, son of my heart, thy beauty is his, and thy pride the pride of a son of the gods. Yet only partly a god art thou, and though thy proud courage would dare all things, it were mad folly to think of doing what a god alone can do."
But at last she said to him, "Naught that I can say is of any avail. Go, seek thy father, and ask him what thou wilt." Then she told him how he might find the place in the east where Apollo rested ere the labours of the day began, and with eager gladness Phaeton set out upon his journey. A long way he travelled, with never a stop, yet when the glittering dome and jewelled turrets and minarets of the Palace of the Sun came into view, he forgot his weariness and hastened up the steep ascent to the home of his father.
Phśbus Apollo, clad in purple that glowed like the radiance of a cloud in the sunset sky, sat upon his golden throne. The Day, the Month, and the Year stood by him, and beside them were the Hours. Spring was there, her head wreathed with flowers; Summer, crowned with ripened grain; Autumn, with his feet empurpled by the juice of the grapes; and Winter, with hair all white and stiff with hoar-frost. And when Phaeton walked up the golden steps that led to his father's throne, it seemed as though incarnate Youth had come to join the court of the god of the Sun, and that Youth was so beautiful a thing that it must surely live forever. Proudly did Apollo know him for his son, and when the boy looked in his eyes with the arrogant fearlessness of boyhood, the god greeted him kindly and asked him to tell him why he came, and what was his petition.
As to Clymene, so also to Apollo, Phaeton told his tale, and his father listened, half in pride and amusement, half in puzzled vexation. When the boy stopped, and then breathlessly, with shining eyes and flushed cheeks, ended up his story with: "And, O light of the boundless world, if I am indeed thy son, let it be as I have said, and for one day only let me drive thy chariot across the heavens!" Apollo shook his head and answered very gravely:
"In truth thou art my dear son," he said, "and by the dreadful Styx, the river of the dead, I swear that I will give thee any gift that thou dost name and that will give proof that thy father is the immortal Apollo. But never to thee nor to any other, be he mortal or immortal, shall I grant the boon of driving my chariot."
But the boy pled on:
"I am shamed for ever, my father," he said. "Surely thou wouldst not have son of thine proved liar and braggart?"
"Not even the gods themselves can do this thing," answered Apollo. "Nay, not even the almighty Zeus. None but I, Phśbus Apollo, may drive the flaming chariot of the sun, for the way is beset with dangers and none know it but I."
"Only tell me the way, my father!" cried Phaeton. "So soon I could learn."
Half in sadness, Apollo smiled.
"The first part of the way is uphill," he said. "So steep it is that only very slowly can my horses climb it. High in the heavens is the middle, so high that even I grow dizzy when I look down upon the earth and the sea. And the last piece of the way is a precipice that rushes so steeply downward that my hands can scarce check the mad rush of my galloping horses. And all the while, the heaven is spinning round, and the stars with it. By the horns of the Bull I have to drive, past the Archer whose bow is taut and ready to slay, close to where the Scorpion stretches out its arms and the great Crab's claws grope for a prey...."
"I fear none of these things, oh my father!" cried Phaeton. "Grant that for one day only I drive thy white-maned steeds!"
Very pitifully Apollo looked at him, and for a little space he was silent.
"The little human hands," he said at length, "the little human frame!—and with them the soul of a god. The pity of it, my son. Dost not know that the boon that thou dost crave from me is Death?"
"Rather Death than Dishonour," said Phaeton, and proudly he added, "For once would I drive like the god, my father. I have no fear."
So was Apollo vanquished, and Phaeton gained his heart's desire.
From the courtyard of the Palace the four white horses were led, and they pawed the air and neighed aloud in the glory of their strength. They drew the chariot whose axle and pole and wheels were of gold, with spokes of silver, while inside were rows of diamonds and of chrysolites that gave dazzling reflection of the sun. Then Apollo anointed the face of Phaeton with a powerful essence that might keep him from being smitten by the flames, and upon his head he placed the rays of the sun. And then the stars went away, even to the Daystar that went last of all, and, at Apollo's signal, Aurora, the rosy-fingered, threw open the purple gates of the east, and Phaeton saw a path of pale rose-colour open before him.
With a cry of exultation, the boy leapt into the chariot and laid hold of the golden reins. Barely did he hear Apollo's parting words: "Hold fast the reins, and spare the whip. All thy strength will be wanted to hold the horses in. Go not too high nor too low. The middle course is safest and best. Follow, if thou canst, in the old tracks of my chariot wheels!" His glad voice of thanks for the godlike boon rang back to where Apollo stood and watched him vanishing into the dawn that still was soft in hue as the feathers on the breast of a dove.
Uphill at first the white steeds made their way, and the fire from their nostrils tinged with flame-colour the dark clouds that hung over the land and the sea. With rapture, Phaeton felt that truly he was the son of a god, and that at length he was enjoying his heritage. The day for which, through all his short life, he had longed, had come at last. He was driving the chariot whose progress even now was awaking the sleeping earth. The radiance from its wheels and from the rays he wore round his head was painting the clouds, and he laughed aloud in rapture as he saw, far down below, the sea and the rivers he had bathed in as a human boy, mirroring the green and rose and purple, and gold and silver, and fierce crimson, that he, Phaeton, was placing in the sky. The grey mist rolled from the mountain tops at his desire. The white fog rolled up from the valleys. All living things awoke; the flowers opened their petals; the grain grew golden; the fruit grew ripe. Could but Epaphos see him now! Surely he must see him, and realise that not Apollo but Phaeton was guiding the horses of his father, driving the chariot of the Sun.
Quicker and yet more quick grew the pace of the white-maned steeds. Soon they left the morning breezes behind, and very soon they knew that these were not the hands of the god, their master, that held the golden reins. Like an air-ship without its accustomed ballast, the chariot rolled unsteadily, and not only the boy's light weight but his light hold on their bridles made them grow mad with a lust for speed. The white foam flew from their mouths like the spume from the giant waves of a furious sea, and their pace was swift as that of a bolt that is cast by the arm of Zeus.
Yet Phaeton had no fear, and when they heard him shout in rapture, "Quicker still, brave ones! more swiftly still!" it made them speed onwards, madly, blindly, with the headlong rush of a storm. There was no hope for them to keep on the beaten track, and soon Phaeton had his rapture checked by the terrible realisation that they had strayed far out of the course and that his hands were not strong enough to guide them. Close to the Great Bear and the Little Bear they passed, and these were scorched with heat. The Serpent which, torpid, chilly and harmless, lies coiled round the North Pole, felt a warmth that made it grow fierce and harmful again. Downward, ever downward galloped the maddened horses, and soon Phaeton saw the sea as a shield of molten brass, and the earth so near that all things on it were visible. When they passed the Scorpion and only just missed destruction from its menacing fangs, fear entered into the boy's heart. His mother had spoken truth. He was only partly a god, and he was very, very young. In impotent horror he tugged at the reins to try to check the horses' descent, then, forgetful of Apollo's warning, he smote them angrily. But anger met anger, and the fury of the immortal steeds had scorn for the wrath of a mortal boy. With a great toss of their mighty heads they had torn the guiding reins from his grasp, and as he stood, giddily swaying from side to side, Phaeton knew that the boon he had craved from his father must in truth be death for him.
And, lo, it was a hideous death, for with eyes that were like flames that burned his brain, the boy beheld the terrible havoc that his pride had wrought. That blazing chariot of the Sun made the clouds smoke, and dried up all the rivers and water-springs. Fire burst from the mountain tops, great cities were destroyed. The beauty of the earth was ravished, woods and meadows and all green and pleasant places were laid waste. The harvests perished, the flocks and they who had herded them lay dead. Over Libya the horses took him, and the desert of Libya remains a barren wilderness to this day, while those sturdy Ethiopians who survived are black even now as a consequence of that cruel heat. The Nile changed its course in order to escape, and nymphs and nereids in terror sought for the sanctuary of some watery place that had escaped destruction. The face of the burned and blackened earth, where the bodies of thousands of human beings lay charred to ashes, cracked and sent dismay to Pluto by the lurid light that penetrated even to his throne.
All this Phaeton saw, saw in impotent agony of soul. His boyish folly and pride had been great, but the excruciating anguish that made him shed tears of blood, was indeed a punishment even too heavy for an erring god.
From the havoc around her, the Earth at last looked up, and with blackened face and blinded eyes, and in a voice that was harsh and very, very weary, she called to Zeus to look down from Olympus and behold the ruin that had been wrought by the chariot of the Sun. And Zeus, the cloud-gatherer, looked down and beheld. And at the sight of that piteous devastation his brow grew dark, and terrible was his wrath against him who had held the reins of the chariot. Calling upon Apollo and all the other gods to witness him, he seized a lightning bolt, and for a moment the deathless Zeus and all the dwellers in Olympus looked on the fiery chariot in which stood the swaying, slight, lithe figure of a young lad, blinded with horror, shaken with agony. Then, from his hand, Zeus cast the bolt, and the chariot was dashed into fragments, and Phaeton, his golden hair ablaze, fell, like a bright shooting star, from the heavens above, into the river Eridanus. The steeds returned to their master, Apollo, and in rage and grief Apollo lashed them. Angrily, too, and very rebelliously did he speak of the punishment meted to his son by the ruler of the Immortals. Yet in truth the punishment was a merciful one. Phaeton was only half a god, and no human life were fit to live after the day of dire anguish that had been his.
Bitter was the mourning of Clymene over her beautiful only son, and so ceaselessly did his three sisters, the Heliades, weep for their brother, that the gods turned them into poplar trees that grew by the bank of the river, and, when still they wept, their tears turned into precious amber as they fell. Yet another mourned for Phaeton—Phaeton "dead ere his prime." Cycnus, King of Liguria, had dearly loved the gallant boy, and again and yet again he dived deep in the river and brought forth the charred fragments of what had once been the beautiful son of a god, and gave to them honourable burial. Yet he could not rest satisfied that he had won all that remained of his friend from the river's bed, and so he continued to haunt the stream, ever diving, ever searching, until the gods grew weary of his restless sorrow and changed him into a swan.
And still we see the swan sailing mournfully along, like a white-sailed barque that is bearing the body of a king to its rest, and ever and anon plunging deep into the water as though the search for the boy who would fain have been a god were never to come to an end.
To Phaeton the Italian Naiades reared a tomb, and inscribed on the stone these words:
"Driver of Phśbus' chariot, Phaëton,
Struck by Jove's thunder, rests beneath this stone,
He could not rule his father's car of fire,
Yet was it much, so nobly to aspire."

We have SCORM courses that are completed and that register on the Completed Learners Report. Unfortunately, this report does not capture failures. I would like to know why that is the case. The newer compliance reports have failed as one of the options. I imagine that someone's response to this would be, "use the newer reports". I cannot use these reports because there is no search function and I do not see that the abc order is working. I understand that the developer that was working on this report has left Instructure, and so I think this report is again not getting the attention that is needed. The failure information is collected in the data dump - enrollments form, therefore I do not understand why this info cannot be added to the reports.
I welcome guidance on this topic, but mainly I am looking for Instructure to address this. It does not make sense to me and I do not appreciate that I need to compare and vet the data that comes from the Data Dump just to make a thorough report for my managers. (I am not savvy with Vlookup, and this report needs to be available for all the managers at any time)

Very little balance and a lot of alcohol heat. There is a spice flavour there and the finish is sweet and clean but it is just lacking in any grace and is, really, a 'bang for your bucks' wine, and at a hundred pounds a bottle, that is a lot of bucks. 85pts (Dec 2011)

Sir Paul McCartney is suing Sony to seek confirmation that he is entitled to a reversion of his copyrights when his statutory reversion right to each song matures under the US 1976 Copyright Act.
In the recent similar Duran Duran case the Judge in the UK proceedings reluctantly ruled that the US right of a song writer to call for reversion of his copyrights did not apply. That was because Duran Duran had signed a Publishing agreement in the UK which granted the Publisher the copyright in the songs for the life of copyright. Duran Duran had effectively 'waived' their right to ever argue for a US reversion by signing this contract when they were teenagers.
Sir Paul may have signed a similar agreement with the Beatles' original Publisher, Northern Songs (subsequently succeeded in title by ATV, Michael Jackson and then Sony). Certainly Sony will be hoping that a similar argument applies. There may be one crucial difference with the Duran Duran case, which is that Sir Paul McCartney has filed his suit in the US rather than the UK. The right to copyright reversion is enshrined in US law and was passed by Congress specifically to prevent young writers from naively signing their copyrights away forever. It is more difficult to see a US court accepting that a UK Publishing agreement signed more than 50 years ago should frustrate the intentions of a US Statute….no doubt it will be a Long and Winding Road, but Sir Paul may get there in the end….'

Finally, we are ready to start our final project! Using all our contour studies done so far (click here to see earlier blog), we decided to create our own contour sculpture, using wire. But – of course there is a twist! We aren't creating one layer… but at least 3. (Stay tuned… it will make sense)
To get started, Grade 7 first had to create their own contour line drawings of their own portraits. Then using various thicknesses of wires, they outlined first the basic head shape and then added details. The wire proved very challenging – but the students made it look easy!

A reliable source in the bank told Punch that the management viewed the release of the footage without official approval as "gross indiscipline," which was capable of affecting the security and image of the bank.
On Thursday, April 5, armed robbers invaded five banks in Offa, Kwara State, killing scores of residents, including policemen, bank workers and passersby.
The assailants were said to have carted away millions of naira as they robbed the banks for about one hour without any challenge from security agents.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ado Lawan, who put the casualty figure at 17, said nine policemen died during the attack.
The Operations Commander, Vigilance Group of Nigeria, Offa, Kwara State chapter, Wasiu Adepoju, however, said vigilantes in the state counted 50 dead bodies.
A video clip of the incident had gone viral shortly afterwards, revealing how the robbers entered one of the banks.
The Punch learnt that the management of the bank was surprised at how the video got into public space and sacked five of its workers last Friday.
The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, said the Nigeria Police Force would also deal with anyone linked to the robbery.
Okesanmi spoke in response to reports that the Divisional Crime Officer and the Divisional Police Officer of the Offa Police Station allegedly failed to take necessary actions before the robbers attacked.
It was also said that the robbers only collected the phones of the DPO and the DCO and allowed them to escape.
Okasanmi said both civilians and uniformed men linked to the incident would not go scot-free.
While saying that investigation was ongoing, he noted that the police were determined to get to the root of "persistent robberies" in Offa.
"Whether civilian or police, whoever is found culpable would be dealt with accordingly," he added.

Beautiful tattoo covers double mastectomy scars
Wellsy and the girls – that was how singer/performer Deb Wells was known in the theatre business.
"The girls" were her G-cup sized breasts, her "very substantial" asset.
So a double mastectomy after a cancer diagnosis came as a particular body blow for the Blackheathen.
She sorely missed her breasts: "My psychologist said it's like having a limb removed and it is. It's a whole chunk of your body that's gone and, in my case, a large chunk."
And she also found the scars awful.
"They were so ugly. I couldn't look at myself. I would dry them [after a shower] by feel."
Looking to replace ugliness with beauty, she enlisted the help of a friend to design a tattoo which is now emblazoned across her chest, thanks to 19 hours in a Springwood tattoo parlour.
She has also recorded "the journey of my breasts" in a book, the proceeds of which will go to Cancer Wellness Support.
Where Once Were Breasts is Ms Wells' attempt to offer hope to other cancer patients.
"The message of the book is that it doesn't have to be the end. Cancer doesn't have to be the end and a mastectomy doesn't have to be the end," she said.
The book is about finding the courage to do something post-cancer – like having a full chest tattoo done. "This book says, 'give it a go'."
Ms Wells, who has performed in major productions of The Phantom of the Opera, Evita and Oliver among others, said her breasts had "governed my career."
They were so substantial she even missed out on a role in Les Miserables because she didn't really look like a starving peasant.
After her breasts were removed, she had reconstruction surgery, not very successfully, and later wore padded inserts. Now her chest is a blaze of colour.
"The project started last year when I decided to endow my very ugly scars with artwork and I thought maybe I should document it photographically. And then I thought if I could do a book I could donate the proceeds of the sales to Cancer Wellness."
Ms Wells loves her new look: "It renewed my self-esteem. I feel like a different person."
She said she was so grateful to a number of friends who had offered help with the book and website.
Where Once Were Breasts will be launched at the Cancer Wellness Support centre at 104-5 Railway Parade, Leura, on Friday, March 22 at 6pm. The book will be available on the night or at www.whereoncewerebreasts.com.

290 Cabela's employees to leave company this week
Article Media Click images to enlarge +
Bass Pro Shops has revealed that 680 Cabela's employees based at its Sidney, Nebraska, headquarters have applied for voluntary redundancy and that 290 will be leaving the business at the end of this week.
The company, which took over its retail chain rival last year in a deal reportedly worth $5.5 billion, has also invested $100,000 in an advertising campaign to offer redundant office space at Cabela's for $1 a year.
It has also been revealed that one former Cabela's executive has accepted the challenge thrown down by Bass Pro CEO, Johnny Morris, to contribute to the fund to help employees who will be losing their jobs. The former executive, who wishes to remain anonymous, has contributed $700,000. Morris has pledged to match any donation up to $10 million.
Bass Pro added that the other 390 Cabela's employees who applied for the buy-out will stay on for an extended period of time to enable it to assess staffing opportunities in Sidney. At least 500 jobs including corporate, retail and distribution centre jobs, will remain in the city.
Three senior members of Cabela's management will be transferring to the combined company's headquarters in Springfield, Missouri. These include Ralph Castner, former Chief Financial Officer, Sarah Kaiser, Director of Diversity and Talent Management, who will become Senior Vice President of Human Resources, and Sheila Dormann, Vice President of Accounting and Controller at Cabela's, who will become Vice President of Finance at White River Marina Group, a Bass Pro subsidiary.

08/08/18 - Climbing the rigging and seeing whales while sailing!
Climbing the rigging and seeing whales while sailing!
We woke up to the robust scent of french toast. We then set sail for Manchester-by-the-Sea. We raised the jib, jumbo, foresail and mainsail. While we were underway, we got to go out on the bowsprit and climb the rigging! The scenery looked right out of a movie. Next, we went right into lunch. On the menu was beans and rice, with cheese quesadillas and salsa (yum!). There were seconds, and even thirds! After lunch and lunch cleanup, we saw a gray seal, and not long after, minke whales and possibly even a humpback! Then, we took our sails down and anchored at Manchester-by-the-Sea. Everyone got their swimsuits on for a swim call! The water was a little cold, but definitely not as cold as it was yesterday. We were all happy to be clean once again! Then, in our warm, dry clothes, we ate a dinner of salad, butternut squash, and shepherd's pie (which was very filling by the way). Now, as the sun sets, we will get ready for bed and prepare for our group anchor watches. Tune in tomorrow at muster for our last full day aboard Roseway.

Since the impaired drivers tend to be
- Entertaining
- Unbelievably resilient during crashes
- Dangerous to the max
and plain crazy, post up about "driving while not fully functioning". Pics are a bonus~!

The State of Oregon, City of Beaverton .12 BAC. Entertainment right in front of a Sheriff's Deputy.
BEAVERTON, Ore. (KATU) A Cornelius woman didnt get a fourth meal when she went to a Beaverton Taco Bell early Saturday morning. Instead, she got arrested.
The Washington County Sheriffs Office says 23-year-old Elianna Aguilar-Aguilar drove to a Taco Bell drive-thru and passed a deputy before she reportedly reached the window and poured alcohol into the mouth of the employee who was working at the window.
The sheriffs office said she did all of this while she was still in her car.
Aguilar-Aguilar was booked in the Washington County Jail on a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII). The sheriffs office said she blew a .12 BAC at the jail.

Since Michael Sussman moved to Chester from Brooklyn in 1985 and set up a law practice in Goshen, he's taken up the cause of everyone from flood victims in the Town of Deerpark to suspended cops in the Town of Wallkill. The 53-year-old civil rights lawyer is also a busy political activist, convening the Orange County Democratic Alliance and organizing public discussions on everything from the Iraq war to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
Since Michael Sussman moved to Chester from Brooklyn in 1985 and set up a law practice in Goshen, he's taken up the cause of everyone from flood victims in the Town of Deerpark to suspended cops in the Town of Wallkill.
The 53-year-old civil rights lawyer is also a busy political activist, convening the Orange County Democratic Alliance and organizing public discussions on everything from the Iraq war to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
The 2001 election kicked off a yearlong period of bad fortune for Sussman. But he's recently found his groove again, with a series of significant victories in federal court that have shaken up local educational institutions and forced the resignation of one of the best-known political figures in the Catskills.
In 1980, the NAACP sues the City of Yonkers and its school board, accusing both of perpetuating the segregation of schools and housing in New York�s fourth-largest city.
Michael Sussman, then 29, begins handling the suit for the NAACP in 1981. It�s a heady task for a young lawyer. He�s three years removed from Harvard Law School, where he graduated first in his class.
The suit evokes powerful emotions, similar to the 1975 school busing uproar in Boston. To this day, Sussman can recall being chased onto a parapet by a crowd of angry people, and the conservative magazine �National Review� described the suit as �The Siege of Yonkers.�
U.S. District Judge Leonard Sand comes up with a desegregation plan in 1985, but the education portion of the suit isn�t settled until 2002. The desegregation of the city�s housing is a work in progress.
In 1997, Sussman scores two victories in federal court on behalf of dissidents in the political rugby scrum that is the Satmar Hasidic Village of Kiryas Joel.
In July, Sussman wins a $212,000 settlement from the village�s leadership, payable to a group of people who contend that they�re the victims of discrimination by Kiryas Joel�s political majority faction. The payment averts a civil trial and the dissidents� demand for $6 million worth of damages.
Three months later, U.S. District Judge Barrington D. Parker Jr. hands Sussman�s clients another victory. The judge orders Kiryas Joel to move the site where villagers vote out of the basement of the village�s main synagogue. Dissidents say that they�ve been hassled, and even physically attacked, when they go to the synagogue to vote.
In 2001, Sussman announces that he�s a Democratic candidate for Orange County executive. It�s his second foray into electoral politics. He has already served a four-year term on the Town Board in Chester, where he still lives.
Some people scoff at the idea of an activist, left-leaning civil-rights lawyer running for the top leadership post in one of New York�s fastest-growing counties, and a politically conservative county at that. Another leading Democrat, Middletown Mayor Joe DeStefano (above right), talks of forming a �Democrats for Diana� committee and throwing his support to Republican Ed Diana.
But Sussman and DeStefano make their peace. That leaves Cornwall Supervisor Richard Randazzo as Sussman�s only rival for the nomination. Sussman defeats him in a hotly contested primary and vigorously debates Diana as the general election draws near.
Sussman�s fortunes take a sharp, yearlong turn into the weeds, beginning on Election Night 2001.
AThe election isn�t even close. Diana wins 61 percent of the vote to Sussman�s 38 percent, surpassing the Republican margin of victory in the previous race for county executive.
BIn July 2002, Sussman is suspended from practicing law for a year in New York�s state courts because his Goshen law firm has deposited client checks into its operating fund instead of a separate escrow account. Sussman admits the violation, but characterizes it as an innocent misunderstanding of the state�s rules governing client accounts.
CIn September 2002, Sussman�s home in the Town of Chester is damaged by a fire. He, his wife Lee Squires Sussman and his seven children and the family�s pets all escape unharmed.
Before volunteer firefighters arrive, Sussman tries to put out the fire himself with a garden hose.
By 2004, Sussman�s back in the swing of things in the local and federal courts, the latter being where he argues civil rights cases. A federal court jury hands him a win on behalf of two female Chester town police officers who were discriminated against because of their gender.
Sussman then reels off a string of victories in cases involving local school districts that suspended students in violation of their Constitutional rights to due process. In May 2004, Sussman is the lead attorney representing Elzie Coleman, an Olympic-caliber sprinter who�s been suspended from Newburgh Free Academy because of a fight. U.S. District Judge Stephen Robinson orders the student readmitted.
The same year, Sussman wins again. U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon rules that the Warwick School District failed to give due process to a Warwick High School volleyball player who had been suspended. The player is reinstated.
In December 2004, another federal judge rules in Sussman�s favor, ordering the Minisink School District to allow a 16-year-old student to return to classes. The judge rules that the district jumped the gun by suspending the student after he was accused of sexually abusing two girls.
Sussman calls the case �gender profiling,� saying that the boy contended that his behavior was consensual and that the girls weren�t punished.
In 2006, Sussman wins the reinstatement of a Warwick High School football player, John Sala Jr. U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Robinson finds fault with the way that the Warwick School District handled Sala�s appeal of his suspension from the football team.
He was suspended after police found him and two teammates with beer and a small amount of pot during a house party in September. He got into an argument with the athletic director and was then booted from the team.
Robinson finds that since Sala had attracted the interest of colleges, he had a �property interest� in a football scholarship, and he�d suffer �irreparable harm� unless he was restored to the football team.
In May, Sussman continues to raise his profile as an activist, organizing and leading an antiwar demonstration outside the gates of West Point, where President Bush is the commencement speaker.
In December, Sussman�s lawyering forces the resignation of one of Sullivan County�s most recognizable public figures. County Clerk George Cooke agrees to resign as part of a settlement of a federal sexual harassment suit filed by his former deputy, Nora Manzolillo.
Sussman hits the ground running in 2007, winning the reinstatement of two student government leaders who�ve been suspended from SUNY New Paltz. A federal judge in Albany finds that it�s �very likely� the college violated the students� rights by not allowing them to consult with lawyers during a disciplinary hearing.
�Every day, I get calls from a family in this county whose kid is being suspended without due process,� Sussman says. �I�m a father of seven children. Yes, discipline is necessary.�
But in the cases he�s won, he says, students are being disciplined for breaking rules, �and then the schools are being overturned for not following the rules. It�s a supreme irony.�
nThis could be the year that Sussman learns if he�ll win $50,000 from the U.S. government on behalf of each of eight people who claim their rights were violated by military police at West Point. They were arrested in 2004 at a basketball game after they took off their jackets to reveal T-shirts that said, �U.S. out of Iraq.�

Singapore, 5 November 2013 –Far East Hospitality today announced details of the Peranakan-inspired Village Hotel Katong ahead of its official launch on 6 November 2013. The hotel is the latest addition to Far East Hospitality's growing portfolio of hotels and serviced residences.
In line with the Village brand's philosophy of drawing inspiration and vitality from its surrounding neighbourhood, the 229-room Village Hotel Katong reflects the strong Peranakan heritage of the surrounding Katong and Joo Chiat district in Singapore. Having recently completed a S$30 million refurbishment, the former Paramount Hotel and Shopping Centre was rebranded Village Hotel Katong when Far East Hospitality took over operations in mid-February 2012.
"The Peranakan culture is unique to the Southeast Asia region and synonymous with the Katong precinct, and is one that fascinates both locals and travellers. With the cornerstone of the Village brand being our delivery of authentic, local experiences through harnessing the strengths of the locales, the infusion of Peranakan influences in Village Hotel Katong makes for a perfect fit", said Mr Arthur Kiong, Chief Executive Officer of Far East Hospitality.
Part of the Peranakan influence that guests will experience at Village Hotel Katong includes pieces of Peranakan-inspired artwork created in collaboration with heART Studio, a local private art studio that encourages and nurtures creativity in children through art. Paintings by children aged 5 to 12 have pride of place in the hotel's 55 Premier Peranakan and Club Rooms, while paintings by the studio's teachers are displayed at the hotel's lift lobbies from levels 5 to 12.
Guests can also look forward to Katong Kitchen, a new dining concept located within the hotel, as well as Katong V, a new retail attraction which adjoins the hotel. Katong Kitchen features modern Peranakan design and features an array of dishes reflective of the district, including fare from Nonya, Macanese, Asian, local Chinese to Western cuisine. With its vibrant Peranakan charm and an exciting mix of reputable merchants, Katong V offers restaurants, cafes, beauty & wellness salons, education & enrichment services, a supermarket and other services.
Located in the eastern region of Singapore, the smoke-free 229-room hotel provides great value for both business and leisure travelers. It provides excellent connectivity to key business and leisure locations, such as a 10-minute drive to the Singapore Expo and 15-minute drive to the Changi International Airport, Central Business District and Orchard Road shopping belt. It is also within a 5-minute walk to the Parkway Parade Shopping Mall and 10-minute walk to the East Coast Park.
Other hotel amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi access, complimentary airport shuttle service, cable TV, mini bar, swimming pool and gymnasium.
As part of Village Hotel Katong's official launch, Far East Hospitality is offering the following promotions:
• Opening Promotion – The opening promotion will see room rates starting at S$178++. The promotion package includes complimentary breakfast for two at Katong Kitchen, lobster laksa for two, complimentary Wi-Fi access and one complimentary round of mini-bar refreshments. Terms and conditions apply.
• "The Peranakan Trail" Contest – Starting 8 November 2013, by simply "liking" the Village Hotels & Residences Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/StayVillage), participants can take part in the contest which is fashioned after the traditional game of Snakes and Ladders. Each roll of the dice takes participants through a virtual tour of the culture and heritage of the hotel's vicinity, and gives participants the chance to win prizes including 2D1N complimentary stays at Village Hotel Katong, S$20 Katong V shopping vouchers, S$50 Village Hotel Katong F&B vouchers and S$100 stay vouchers valid at Village Hotel Katong. Terms and conditions apply.
The launch of Village Hotel Katong coincides with the fourth anniversary of Far East Hospitality's Village Hotels & Residences brand. Village Hotels & Residences are uniquely located at the heart of Singapore's cultural and ethnic enclaves, and designed to showcase the unique flavour and cultural tapestry of the locales in which it is situated to create authentic experiences of Singaporean culture for every guest.

HÀ NỘI — The number of Vietnamese firms using e-invoices has increased from roughly 800 in 2016 to over 9,000, according to the General Department of Taxation (GDT).
The firms have issued and used more than 600 million e-invoices, the department reported.
However, the number of firms using e-invoices is still modest as there are more than 500,000 firms in the country.
The GDT currently permits firms to use either paper invoices or e-invoices. However, the use of e-invoices will be compulsory for all firms, organizations and State agencies by 2019, with the exception of small-and micro-firms.
The finance ministry had previously put forward a plan to make e-invoices compulsory for all enterprises from January 2018, but while many enterprises admitted that the use of e-invoices had major benefits, they also said that deadline was hard to meet.
According to the GDT, the use of e-invoices saves time and reduces costs for businesses while limiting billing fraud and simplifying administrative procedures.
The GDT estimated that with some 2.5 billion invoices used in a year, firms could save VNĐ1 trillion (US$43.86 million) if they switched from paper bills to e-invoices.
Industry insiders said the application of information technology (IT) in business, specifically in the form of e-invoices, is a common trend among the world's advanced economies.
In Việt Nam, the improving IT infrastructure has also created favourable conditions for the use of e-invoices. However, Vietnamese firms still need to promote the application of new technological solutions to enhance management and competitiveness.
Aside from the use of e-invoices, the GDT has also sped up reforms in the application of information technology to improve its own management.
According to the latest GDT report, up to 96.21 per cent of the country's firms have so far registered to pay their taxes online. Tax revenues collected electronically in the first three months of 2018 reached over VNĐ120.6 trillion from 976,000 transactions.
During the same period, more than 648,000 firms used electronic tax declaration services with some 48 million applications, while more than 2,800 firms also used electronic tax refund services to secure refunds amounting to VNĐ13 trillion. — VNS

Khwela on fire to make it five Non-Stop Dusi titles
- Updated: March 5, 2016
Despite near unbearable heat and testing low conditions, a fifth Non-Stop Dusi Canoe Marathon title became a reality for Sbonelo Khwela when he dominated proceedings in the second half of the grueling 110-kilometre contest as he charged to his maiden K1 'Dusi in a Day' title at Blue Lagoon on Friday.
Having won the race on four previous occasions – all in a K2 – getting that K1 victory under the belt was not only satisfying, but also a relief for the Euro Steel/Red Bull star.
'In 2014 I tried to convince myself to do the Non-Stop in a K1 but I ended up doing it with Hank McGregor and we won,'Khwela said. 'I would really like to thank my wife for convincing me to do the race in a K1 last year and then helping me to get back into a K1 for this year's race.
'She kept on pushing me and saying that I am the only person that can win the race in a K1 so I am really happy that she managed to convince me again!'
With the Henley Dam water release topping up the uMsundusi River, Khwela played a tactical game, from the start of the race to Yellow Rock portage – shortly before Dusi Bridge, the end of the first day of the traditional three day long FNB Dusi Canoe Marathon.
The experience of the now five-time winner then came to the fore as he kept his wits about him and avoided getting suckered into the slugging match that was unfolding ahead of him.
'I knew that the K2s were going to have the better of the conditions in the first bit of the race with the higher water so I knew that I had to hold on because they were going to try and break me early on.
'I realised that I had to drop back and let the guys up front work hard and then I made my move at what would have been the start of day two of Dusi and from there I caught the guys one by one.
'When I got to Nqumeni portage I realised that I could do it so I managed to create a big gap over Banji (Thulani Mbanjwa) and Siboniso (Shozi) but then we were back together on Inanda Dam.
'I managed to get away from them again though and then I didn't look back,' Khwela added.
Khwela was apprehensive about the final pull into Durban from the Burma Road portage though and felt he needed to establish more of a gap to feel safe.
'I ran really hard over Burma and I think that gave me the advantage I needed because I was worried that the K2 was going to be fast after Burma.
'When I realised that I had such a big advantage I really enjoyed the final section,' an elated Khwela explained.
The race got off to a frantic start with the brothers Nhlanhla and Richard Cele setting the early pace but, when the race got to the Low Level Bridge, the young duo of Alan Houston (Seed co./USN) and Banetse Nkhoesa (Computershare Change a Life Academy) had taken the lead while Khwela lingered patiently in fifth place.
Houston and Nkhoesa were however unable to maintain their intense early pace and fell out of contention on the Nqumeni portage however, despite a brief swim shortly the same notorious climb, the Cele brothers maintained a strong enough pace to consolidate their podium spot.
Boat trouble hampered Mbanjwa (Builld it/Williams Hunt) and Shozi's race once the pair reached Inanda Dam however it did not hamper their progress significantly enough to prevent their second place finish.
'We ran out of water at Isuzu Rapid but stayed in the river and we must have damaged the boat there,' Mbanjwa said. 'We pulled over to the side and emptied the boat and patched it up with duct tape and a sticker from the back of the boat – which helped a lot – but after we crossed the dam it was difficult because the duct tape kept coming off.
'After Burma we repaired it but at Pumphouse it all came off again.
'We managed to sneak home in the end, which was a big relief for us!'
Martin Dreyer's Computershare Change a Life Academy was the shining light to emerge from the 2016 'Dusi in a Day' as they claimed five out of the top seven K2 crews which included no less than eight paddlers that are part of the Valley of a Thousand Hills setup while Khwela also serves as an ambassador for the programme having spent many of his younger years as a CAL member.
With the late withdrawal by early pre-race favourite Abby Solms (Euro Steel), Kelly Howe and Susan Carter-Brown surged to the front of the field from the get-go and never once relinquished their lead despite the chase of Jordan and Kim Peek.
Howe and Carter-Brown add their Non-Stop Dusi victory to their 2016 FNB Dusi fifth place performance, rounding out an impressive KZN K2 river season in the uMsundusi and uMngeni valleys together.

I was so pleased to see Lion Brand step up their game when they introduced a line of free patterns geared especially for us "Curvy" girls! Yay! I must admit that the Cowl Neck Knit Tunic is looking like a high priority on my list. I would like to make it for the winter 2015/16 season, but I already have so many projects backed up here! Grrrr. I've included the link here – now go have fun!
And speaking of backed up projects list, I am actually hacking away, successfully, at one that, surprisingly enough, I have never done before; the Christmas list. Some of you may be thinking "What? All these years you've knit and crochet and have never gifted them before?" I know, I know. Every year I think about it, around December 12th. You see the problem. But this year, I'm on a mission. No, I didn't start in July like I was supposed to, but I have chosen fast, crocheted hats and beanies for the young 'uns, so this plan should work. So far, I have punched out two this week and intend to be done with another tonight – woo-hoo! I found the burger hat online from a talented fiber artist – click here for the pattern!
As almost an afterthought, I wanted to include some pics of my completed Autumn Wrap. I know I did mention it a few posts earlier, and I have been working on it diligently in the meanwhile. Not as happy as I thought I would be . I don't seem to have a sense of color matching like I should. 😦 A little caveat for those of you who want to get decent pictures of your work: don't let the husband do it!

2018 Program: Detroit
Friday (11/09)
By collectively mapping the emergence of systemic racism, this session will explore the different ways that racism stunts the humanity of all people and challenge participants to engage with the limitations of ally and privilege based antiracist organizing. We will explore what it means to see ourselves engaged in a struggle for co-liberation and explore how visionary organizing can provide strategies to guide that struggle. To deepen this exploration, participants will be introduced to two strategic/theoretical frames for movement building: what it means for the anti-racist struggle to move beyond ally-ship toward co-liberation; and the concept of visionary organizing, which addresses the current ecological, economic, and political crises through a praxis grounded in people and communities developing the skills and processes needed to envision and to create a new more humane system.
Within Our Lifetime is a national network of more than 125 organizations focused on Creating a sense of movement, Building the field, Connecting the dots, Sharing and deepening knowledge, and Bringing the heat and power - and of course, ending racism within our lifetime. Over the past 3 years, we have interviewed frontline organizers who have navigated racial disasters in 10 key cities in the US. We paired their findings with high-level movement theory and applied the results to our work in Charlottesville (summer 2017). The resulting best practices were released in a report in March 2018, and have been iterated for the past 9 months by our Community of Practice - this workshop is the result.
We offer specific and concrete tools for local organizers who are preparing their city in advance of or directly responding to a racial disaster. This workshop has resources for national organizers and organizations who are interested in supporting local or regional folks responding to crises of racialized violence. There will also be space for funders and major donors to engage in conversation around best practices that have emerged. While it is not necessary to have read the report or visited the website MovementMicCheck.org, we will move quickly through the basic concepts in order to arrive at the most relevant recent learning. Expect to leave with tools in your pocket, new comrades, and many more questions.
Saturday (11/10)
An interactive workshop simulating the school to prison pipeline through a favorite childhood game of "Chutes (Pipes) and Ladders". Participants will explore the impact of racial spatial segregation on schools and those impacts on black and brown students through experiencing first hand how an individual life is impacted by institutional and systemic policies. The workshop will also include dialogue exploring the disparity between public, private, and charter schools and how race, location, and financial opportunities can affect student success. Finally, workshop leaders will share their action driven solutions to these large issues in local communities.
Many conversations occur nationwide around the topic of mass incarceration but few are youth led. This workshop is planned, researched, and executed entirely by youth, for youth who want to explore deeper the issues facilitated by the school to prison pipeline. The Regional Youth Interns of the Michigan Roundtable will facilitate this workshop shaping a new narrative for mass incarceration work reaching to alumni of the program and youth activists on the ground in Michigan fighting against mass incarceration in a fish bowl style discussion to round out the session.
Our country invests heavily in communities of color - but that investment comes too often and too much in the form of criminalization, surveillance, and incarceration. Annually, the United States spends $100 billion on policing alone. For cities large and small, the choice to spend massive amounts of their budgets on cops and jails come with deep structural trade-offs. For every dollar spent on more police officers, police stations, or militarized equipment, that means one less dollar for youth services, public education, local infrastructure, public health, or job programs.
Divest/invest campaigns, which advocate for investments in supportive services and divestment from punitive institutions, challenge the very roots of mass criminalization and inequity.
This session will specifically discuss how such harmful policies are manifesting in cities such as Detroit and Milwaukee, and how we must - and can - start demanding divestment from these harmful institutions and investments into community-owned safety.
The presenters, experienced community organizers and local leaders, will facilitate a workshop exploring how best to demand elected officials and decision-makers acknowledge that the lack of investment in communities of color and the over-investment in their criminalization is emblematic of governmental disregard for Black and brown life. The presenters will lead an interactive workshop on tips and tools for building community power in this fight, including door-to-door canvassing, media engagement, "bird-dogging" of elected officials, electoral strategies, and the import of organizing young people and those most directly impacted.
Come spend 90 minutes with Emergent Strategy author adrienne maree brown to review the elements and principles of Emergent Strategy, a way of learning about organizing and being human by looking at science fiction and complex science.
In 21st Century Detroit, there is an exciting new entrepreneurial movement that is citizen-powered, community-centered, and deeply rooted in the development of new racially-equitable neighborhood economies. The C2BE "Detroit Cooperates" Alternative Economies showcase is a unique Detroit-centric workshop, hosted by Center for Community Based Enterprise, exposing Facing Race participants to innovating Detroit neighborhood cooperatives, worker-owned businesses and other community-based enterprises. Participants will hear inspirational stories from the resident actors who are pioneering new work, developing new community entrepreneurs and anchoring new neighborhood economic ecosystems in worker ownership. Come meet the new Detroit entrepreneurs and enterprises that are rooted in providing equity, sustainable jobs, and building scalable community wealth.
Several studies show the United States is a world leader in mass incarceration and thousands of black men find themselves trapped in the prison pipeline. This forum highlights the experiences of black men who have navigated the prison pipeline. The panelists will discuss several factors that led them to prison, their experiences during their incarceration, and the challenges they encountered post-incarceration. Additionally, the audience and panelists will participate in a collaborate session to identify solutions to mass incarceration beginning with education and policy reform. By highlighting the experiences of returning citizens as well as solutions to the prison pipeline, our goal is to work with policymakers in an effort to reform our criminal justice system.
A creativity workshop to enhance awareness of the Detroit and Global water crisis. Participants will be led in five interactive exercises, including Water Rights, Water Infrastructure, Water disconnection practices and Solutions for Sustainability. Participants will then be asked to work in small groups of 4-6ppl and create solutions for their assigned area of interest. Finally, participants will describe written solutions in detail on a prescribed wall poster board.
So you read Emergent Strategy, either alone or with a group. And perhaps you have been using it in the world, using the assessments, or the tools...but you have some questions! Come get answers from other readers, practitioners, and the author!
Questions and answers will happen in large group, small group and flocking exercises, as well as things we can't foresee but will emerge from the unique group that comes together. (If you haven't read the book, please come to the Emergent Strategy 101 session - if it gets approved <3)
Black Detroit has a long history of engaged citizenry. Black residents rebelled in 1967 to protest police brutality and economic/social exclusion. Afterwards, they exerted political will power by electing the city's first black mayor, Coleman Young. In the past, black neighborhoods thrived due to civic organizing rooted in the black church, labor, and long standing and robust social networks.
Black Detroit's rich history has been rewritten to portray long-time black residents as socially, economically, and politically incompetent. This kind of revisionist narrative has taken hold across the country in many majority black cities. The false narrative supports the theory that the exclusion of black residents is necessary for Detroit's successful revitalization.
This workshop will feature two local grassroots organizations and focus on concrete strategies to fight destructive development policies caused by the narrative being deployed against long-time Detroiters, and working in favor of the corporate and political backers of the city's "revitalization." ¡MIRA! will make the case that majority-black cities commonly deliver progressive policies that benefit Latinx, Middle Eastern, and Muslim communities. Detroit People's Platform will demonstrate methods for building community power such as grassroots organizing, coalitions, and policy advocacy. Participants will work together to identify common elements of displacement and inequitable development, and then evaluate activist interventions that can disrupt displacement while transferring power from the private sector and ineffective political leaders back to black community leaders. Workshop participants will receive tools for reclaiming city revitalization initiatives to restore the progressive and powerful status of majority black cities.
We will explore ways to reclaim traditional practices, resist cultural appropriation, and shift narratives. Together we will engage and learn from each other and discuss strategies to infuse cultural education within our current system. We will look at the power of narrative as it intersects with culture and the many ways these are co-opted to benefit corporate/ neoliberal interests. We will also look at the similarities in impact on Detroit, Puerto Rico, and Hawai'i. And finally practice together rewriting history from a decolonized POV.

A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the
entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens
tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, ceramic (tooth colored)
crowns are now the most common type of crown to restore your tooth. Ceramic crowns provide you with both
beauty and function. We are proud to offer our patients the ultimate in digital dentistry with our CEREC
restorations. With CEREC (CEramic REConstruction), we are able to provide our patients with
inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers in only ONE appointment. This CAD/CAM system has been on the market
for a good 30 years now and over 250 scientific studies have confirmed the clinical safety of tried and
tested CEREC tooth restorations.
Crowns are highly durable and will last many
years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Ceramic crowns
are made to match the shape, size, and color or your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful
Reasons for crowns:
What does getting a crown
Our crown procedure
usually requires one appointment. While the tooth is numb, all decay will be removed. The tooth will be
rebuilt and shaped in preparation for the digital scan. Typically, there is no need for an
impression/mold or temporary crown on the tooth. The tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be
carefully placed to ensure the aesthetics, fit, and bite are precise. You will be given care
instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.

Been shooting for 6 years, never had a consistent problem shooting low before...I'm 2-3 inches low on at least half of my shots from 20 yards. My left/right is good. I've moved my sight up and still no change...any ideas on how to remedy? Are there any common problems attributed to shooting low? Thanks in advance.

"You're such a guy," says the woman to her man, imputing either that he is thrillingly red-blooded or too pigheaded to ask for directions.
In olden times -- a period from the 17th-century terrorist named Guy Fawkes through Damon Runyon's "Guys and Dolls" to about a dozen years ago -- the word guy denoted a man. In the singular, it still does: a guy thing connotes an activity understandable only to the male.
That's why the writers of copy selling sildenafil citrate at Pfizer pharmaceuticals chose that informal word to advertise their product to "guys with E.D.," repeating that reg'lar feller noun in explaining that Viagra is "for guys with erectile dysfunction." Asked why the word "men" was not used in the otherwise formal copy, a spokesman for the drug company replied: "The topic of E.D. often prompts nervousness, embarrassment and even fear.. . .We've found that men sometimes related better to less formal communication about this topic, and when we're trying to achieve an informal tone, the word guys is appropriate." (Observed the poet W. H. Auden in 1946: "Thou shalt not be on friendly terms/With guys in advertising firms.")
I noted here last year that much of the badness has been leached out of the phrase bad guys, which is often followed with a "but," as a State Department spokesman's recent explanation of failure to go after Osama bin Laden in the 90's: "Yes he was a bad guy, but he was one of many.. . ." In a recent review of a film made from a gripping John Le Carré novel, The Wall Street Journal headlined: "A Tale of Global Bad Guys, 'Constant Gardener' Putters, But It Doesn't Dig Deep." A bad guy is no longer simply the opposite of "good guy"; the ensuing but signals the vitiation of the villainous sting of depravity. No longer do we have scoundrel, malefactor, blackguard, monster or Hamlet's "Bloody, bawdy. . .remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!"; we have merely the bad guy, but -- just another type of the familiar guy.
The word's warm informality also makes it usable as what might be called an adverbial noun, modified by an adjective. Those uncomfortable clearly identifying someone as black, or a Jew, or a Pole often say "he's a black guy" or a Jewish guy, or a Polish guy or a gay guy, with the noun taking the perceived sting out of the racial, religious, ethnic or sexual-orientation description. The cultural critic Leslie Savan catches this nuance in her book "Slam Dunks and No-Brainers" (Knopf): "To be called 'a [blank] guy' can plunk a male from any occupation or background right into the heart of affable, knucklehead America."
In the past, the plural guys had a likable, Middle American male connotation; in "Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys," the humorist notes that Doberman pinschers are men while Labrador retrievers are guys. But these days, the addition of the s has led to the neutering of guy. You guys is no longer limited to males; it can be a group of men and women, or even a group solely of women. What caused this? "I think we're desperate for a plural 'you' in contemporary English," says Robin Lakoff, professor of linguistics at U.C. Berkeley. "The South has y'all and some New Yorkers have youse, but the rest of us have nothing. It was dumb of our ancestors to jettison thou." (Politicians have the nonregional you folks.)
How come a group of women can be called guys? For groups of women, Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, always uses guys, never gals: "It's not unusual for the male to include the female and for the female not to include the male. Think about clothes; it's common for women to wear clothes that look like men's clothes, but for a man to wear very feminine clothes is different."
Only in the plural is a woman likely to be called a guy. "You can say, 'Call Mary and Jane and see if those guys want to come to dinner tonight,' " notes Prof. Geoffrey Nunberg at Stanford, "but you can't say, 'I wanted to invite Alice, but the guy wasn't answering her calls.' This usage may be related to the tendency to use guy as a kind of perky pseudo-pronoun -- nowadays you hear people using a phrase like 'those guys' to refer to everything from ski boots to PowerPoint slides."
I would agree that the case is made for guy in the singular to apply to a man, but my "cable guy" is a woman. ANKLE OF AMBIGUITY A Viacom "group prexy. . .has ankled the company in a surprise move," reported Variety, and on the same front page headlined a shakeup at Paramount studios "Tobey ankles in Par revamp." Bernard Ferrari of New York sent along the clipping with the query "Why such equivocation?"
Diplomats call such a use of language "creative ambiguity." Variety, the "show-biz bible" that celebrates its 100th anniversary this month, likes the verb to ankle because it has always reveled in the jargon of the industry it covers. Some familiar words, like punch line and payola, first appeared in Variety; a hundred other whammo coinages were popularized there.
"Variety was founded in 1905 and used street lingo," says Tim Gray. "It was fun, and easier to say a play 'had legs,' for example, than to say it had a good chance of running a long time." Why ankle, which has long had a general slang meaning of "to walk"? "Hollywood is filled with egos. A lot of times, a studio will tell us that they let somebody go, and the exec will say, 'I wasn't fired, I quit!' Both sides claim it was their decision. We need that equivocation."
Why not depart, leave or exit? Gray's answer: "Ankle is more fun." (I would have checked this out with a scribbler source, but he left to ink a pact to pen a blind put pilot for a boffo biopic.)
Gray is Variety's new editor. Years ago, his predecessor, Jonathan Taylor, ankled.
