It seems the cast and crew got told tonight it's closing 6th October.
Posted 13 June 2012 - 10:49 PM
Oh it's closing? I thought this might have had a bit more life in it. Although I do think a straight up play would have been much better - even when I saw it I wanted them to 'just get on with it'
If I stay awake, it must be good.

All official now, according to WOS

Siobhan Dillon confirmed it on a reply to someone last night too, I think. What a shame.

I find it hugely disappointing to hear of Ghost closing in October. Especially as it's being replaced by a musical called Viva Forever, about the Spice Girls! In my opinion, London's West End doesn't need to have any more musicals based on pop bands/music stars. The Bodyguard, centered around Whitney Houston which is being released in October, doesn't sound so bad as it's based on an existing film that featured some of her music, but in my opinion, this musical about the Spice Girls is more about publicity for them rather than for the entertainment value.
What's everyone else's thoughts on this?

What makes a jukebox musical any worse than yet another movie turned into a musical? Also its not about the spice girls, its a show using their music. Jukebox musicals have been done for decades, nothing wrong with them as long as they are good shows.
Whilst obviously ghost had its fans, word of mouth has definitely been mixed .

A Lincoln County man who pulled a gun on two government agents during an election fraud investigation will spend eight years in prison.
In May, James A. Matheny, 62, of Midkiff was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and using a deadly weapon during and in relation to a crime of violence.
At his trial, Matheny testified that the agents, from the FBI and the West Virginia Secretary of State's Office, scared him when they drove up to his rural home on Feb. 28. He said they were driving an unmarked car and didn't identify themselves.
The agents were investigating election fraud in Lincoln County, an effort that has resulted in the conviction of the county sheriff Jerry Bowman and county clerk Donald Whitten. Bowman is serving one year and Whitten is serving 18 months in federal prison.
They pleaded guilty to the charges against them and agreed to resign their positions. They were charged with attempting to flood the election with absentee ballots, some turned in on behalf of deceased residents.
Matheny threatened FBI agent Todd Berry and Secretary of State's Office investigator Jim Wise when they attempted to question him about the 2010 Democratic primary.
Prosecutors presented evidence at the trial that when he was presented documents concerning the election, he drew a pistol and threatened to kill them. Both investigators were unharmed.
United States District Attorney Booth Goodwin said, "We owe it to our law enforcement officers to do everything we can to protect them on the job. We've seen too many tragic, senseless law enforcement deaths in situations just like this: routine encounters that suddenly turn out violent."

Very true. So what I'm hearing is that it would he smart to wait until the Maxx HD comes out to make any final decisions or buying a phone?
That's what you are hearing in the RAZR forum. I'm sure hardcore samsung guys would say different. Mostly it comes down to personal taste. One isn't way better than the other and I'm sure they both have their strengths and weaknesses. One reason I've been a Motorola fan for so long is the quality. Lift a RAZR and then an s3, just the weight well tell you something. The Samsung feels like a toy to me. Also Motorola devices look better in my opinion a little more manly.Originally Posted by SynysterBurns91
same boat as the op my contract is up in December and upgrading from a D2G, I am really hoping there might be a new nexus device in the works before then... if not gonna its going to be a really hard decision.
Correct on the choices thing. No one phone totally blows the other one out. Go moto u gain battery life and radio but lose in it being locked, not having as much ram and features as samsung and not as good cameras. Sammy have feature, ram but not going to have the best radios, battery life, or build quality as moto. Htc will have good radios, awesome camera, but i expect sense to still be heavy and battery life to not be as good.
No matter what way you go you are looking going to get a great phone. Just go with what you like don't worry about others.

That's a great way to look at it :-) You did bring up one thing that's been eating at me a bit...and that's the issue of RAM. Given the fact that the phones run differently, do you think that lack of a second gig of RAM will play a big role in how fast the phones will be?
Contract bout up what phone is right for me?
I touched on it there. But it depends how you use your phone and what you are using it for. Plus touchwiz is much heavier ui than blur. For people who use their phone for calls, text, vids then a gig of ram will be enough. Those who want to play graphic intensive games having that extra gig makes the experience better. Specs wise the note 2 is arguably the best phone on the market.

Moto makes quality? Clearing you all have not owned an X2...
Im in the same boat as you guys. But the X2 almost has me thinking I will never own another moto device. Optimus G looked pretty cool. Maybe incredible X if I don't pull the trigger on an S3 this week.
Galaxy S3 stock
R.I.P Droid X2 running CM9, You will... not.. be missed.
I know that some x2's had their problems, but my wife has had an x2 and it's been a great device. I've talked to people before that have had a bad phone experience and it really gives the brand a bad name in their mind. I can understand, when people sign a contract and get a certain phone, then later they have some problems, and yet they feel trapped with this bad device. It sucks. I have been very fortunate, that since i got into smart phones i have had very little problems.Originally Posted by music life

Classical musician Tyme Mientka died Saturday morning, March 31. Mientka had been fighting cancer.
Tyme Mientka and his wife, pianist Kathryn (Catie), frequently performed in Paonia at the Blue Sage Center for the Arts and The Paradise Theatre and in Grand Junction.
They performed as the Mientka Duo for the Western Slope Chamber Music Series, of which Tyme was director, and with their Celtic band, Feast, of which they were founding members.
The Mientka Duo lived in Germany and toured there and in France, Italy and Switzerland. They were recipients of prestigious international awards including a special prize at the Concours International de Musique de Chambre in Paris.
In the United States, they were featured on NBC's "Performance Today." Their 1994 debut performance at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. was received with a thunderous standing ovation. In the mid-90s, the husband and wife duo were the subject of an Emmy-nominated documentary shown of PBS.
The Mientka family lived in Paonia from 1999 to 2003, and then moved to Grand Junction.
Those in the North Fork Valley who knew
Tyme Mientka, performed with him or had admired his musicianship have shared some of their thoughts.
Lucia Vorys, who co-founded the Valley Youth Orchestra with Tyme, said, "He was a beautiful person as portrayed in his cello playing and teaching. He inspired us all with his love."
Dee Holt said, "Tyme and Katie were a great boost to the musical community here in the North Fork. I was blessed with the opportunity to perform with them both on several occasions. Tyme will be greatly missed. He was an incredible talent. My heart goes out to his family."
Sarah Bishop wrote, "When Bill Bishop and I first moved to Paonia we got to know Tyme and Catie Mientka through their Western Slope Chamber Music Series. . .We celebrated with them the joyous music in the classical tradition that they found both here in our valley and brought from further away. They shared generously of their talent with audiences both large and intimate.
"When I think of Tyme I see an accomplished cellist. I was particularly keen to see him play, not just hear him. He placed his fingers on the fingerboard with such conviction, I almost expected to hear a thump. His bowing was equally deliberate, whether forceful or delicate."
Kathy Wiley shared along with husband Mike, "Tyme Mientka was a good friend, cellist and teacher. He and his family brought music to our small town of Paonia. The Western Slope Concert Series has been bringing classical music artists from around the world to Grand Junction and Paonia for the past 13 years.
"We enjoyed listening to other artists, but it was quite a treat to hear Tyme play the cello. He could make the cello soft and sweet like a human voice or loud and percussive.
We hosted several parties after concerts and we enjoyed Tyme and Catie's company. Tyme was kind and gentle and loved his family. Catie and his kids have been so supportive during his long fight with cancer. He didn't want to leave them."
Gigi and Bill King wrote, "Tyme Mientka was very special to us. He was our son David's violin teacher and musical deity. A great mentor and a wonderful friend; Tyme was also an inspiring performer. I remember the first time we met Tyme and Catie. They gave a concert at Lamborn Valley School in the late 1990's; Tyme on cello and Catie on piano, and my mother was so overcome she cried through practically the entire performance. Tyme so reminded her of her late husband, my father, also a consummate musician. As my mother's health declined, one bright spot in her life was attending Tyme's concerts and listening to him play.
"We will miss Tyme's sense of humor; his gentleness; his kindness; and especially his music. Death has attempted to silence a brilliant musical voice; we must keep it alive in our hearts and souls."
Ellen Stapenhorst shared, "Tyme had great creativity and artistry. I didn't know him well, but I always loved the inventiveness and directions of his performances. He will be deeply missed."
Jacob, Stephanie, Karen and Brent Helleckson sent their condolences. "Tyme was an inspiration to our family and our whole community. We met Tyme and Catie at their first concert in the area at the Lamborn School/Store. Our children, Jacob and Stephanie, were then ages three and five and were mesmerized by this performance. Jacob was so inspired that he wanted to start taking lessons from Tyme at age three — which was amazing for such an outdoor kid. Tyme thought he should wait until he was at least five.
"Ten years later after hundreds of hours spent with Tyme in lessons and instruction, we are sad to say our farewell to a dear friend."
Catie Mientka wrote, "As a performer he truly played 'from the heart' and always gave his total love and artistic ability to the audience. The beauty of his cello tone was unique and unmatched. At age 55, his musical talent was in its greatest flowering, and he leaves behind a deeply grieved family as well as innumerable adoring fans and students on two continents."
Mientka's memorial service will be Saturday, April 7 at 1 p.m., at the Christian Fellowship Church, 765 24 Road, at the corner of 24 Road and I-70 in Grand Junction.
Following the service, a potluck party will be held at the Mientka home, 3410 Ponderosa Court, Grand Junction.All who were touched by his music are welcome to both celebrations.
The family requests in lieu of flowers to send donations to the nonprofit Western Slope Concert Series, 2457 Kelley Drive, Grand Junction, CO 81505.

< Return To Hearing
Hon. Larry A. DeverMarch 1, 2006
Testimony of The Honorable Larry A. Dever March 1, 2006 Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to share with you today a local perspective of the current situation along the southern Arizona border. I come to you as a lifetime southern Arizona resident and a thirty-year law enforcement career working in that environment. Some of the testimony you have received this day has suggested needs and methods of enhancing security along the border and the urgency which attends these voiced concerns. I quote a former Chief of the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol. "Within the last year, we've been mandated by Congress to gain control of that border. And we're going to do that along the Southern border, whether it's narcotics, illegal aliens, terrorists, criminals or whatever." (Chief Jerald Jondall, as quoted in The Arizona Sheriff magazine, Autumn 1987.) 1987. That was the year we first organized the Border Alliance Group narcotics task force in Cochise County to jointly combat the burgeoning cocaine smuggling business that had developed in the area. At that time there were no DEA agents in Cochise County, no FBI, only four Customs Office of Enforcement agents and maybe a total of 100 border patrol agents. Today, they are all there, along with over a thousand Border Patrol agents. And yet, as you have also heard, in spite of the tremendous increase in the law enforcement presence, or as some suggest, because of it, violence associated with narcotics and people smuggling activities has markedly increased. Twenty to twenty-five years ago, we would intercept smugglers right on the border fence. Most would simply abandon their cargo and flee on foot back south. It wasn't unusual to have some just give up. Today, the expected response to an attempted interdiction is a fight. Smugglers are armed with high capacity assault weapons and with orders to protect their cargo at all costs. They operate under the watchful eye of scouts equipped with sophisticated observation and communications equipment. Failure to make safe delivery is not acceptable and many who do fail are executed. The stakes are extremely high.
The people smuggling culture is one marked by little if any value of life or respect for persons or property. This is reflected in their response to authority and their treatment of their human cargo. One study estimates that over 80% of people being smuggled into this country become the victims of criminal activity before they ever cross the border. And in many cases the atrocities continue even after they successfully enter. Smuggling routes are often marked with "rape trees"--women's under garments hung on tree limbs where a raped occurred, warning everyone of the failure to cooperate with the coyotes who prey on them. Running gun battles with fleeing felons occur much too frequently placing law-enforcement officers and the public alike at great risk of serious consequences. Gang activity and its associated violence are on the rise as these groups become more competitive in the lucrative people smuggling trade. Just last week one of my deputies, the supervisor of the narcotics task force, was the victim of a drive-by shooting at his home. Thankfully, no one was injured. The law-enforcement effort and the communities we serve desperately need your attention to our situation along the border. You should be aware that in our area, almost ten percent of the illegal aliens that are apprehended have criminal records in this country. When we are unsuccessful in catching them there, these predators find their way to communities all over the nation where they threaten the safety and welfare of local populations. When planning strategies for improved enforcement efforts and providing adequate resources, it is important to remember that every federal initiative has a local consequence. It is critical that local authorities be involved in the early stages of the planning process to assure that these consequences are clearly understood and considered. Again, I thank you for the opportunity to address you, and would gladly answer any of your questions. |

Academic year: late August - late AprilFall semester: late August - late December Spring semester: Late December - late April
Overview | Academics | Cost | Location | Life Abroad | Student Voices | Apply
Founded in 1961, this program offers an unparalleled opportunity to live and study in Varanasi, India - a city that highlights India's ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity. Varanasi (formerly known as Banaras) is located along the Ganges River and is a major Indian pilgrimage center as well as a thriving modern city of approximately 1.3 million inhabitants. As a program participant, you will encounter large Hindu, Muslim, Jain, Buddhist and Christian communities. The city is known for the origin of Jainism and Buddhism and has many religious sculptures, great architecture and a wonderful variety of food. Taking full advantage of the unique social landscape of Varanasi, the academics of this program provide structure to the learning experience, but also grant you the freedom to explore areas of personal interest as they relate to Indian culture and society. You will study Hindi language and enroll in an integrative core culture course that surveys the sites and resources of the Varanasi community. The program also blends in a combination of independent learning opportunities, including individual and group tutorials focused on expressed areas of interest and an independent research project.
Not sure where Varanasi is? See it on a map here.The city of Varanasi, also called Banaras or Kashi and home to about 1.3 million, lies on the banks of the Ganges River, a sacred river for the Hindu population. The river is so long that there are 120 Ghats (stone steps) leading from the city to the river banks. Varanasi is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for the Hindus, and is very rich in culture and tradition. While many Hindus worship in Varanasi, the city is filled with religious diversity and is proud to identify as one of the only places where those of different belief systems live in harmony. It is one of the oldest living cities in the world, where culture and tradition continue to thrive. On the academic front, Varanasi is an international center of learning. Students from all across the globe congregate to study at Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Located in Northern India, Varanasi offers prime access to Sanskrit studies, among other niche cultural and religious studies. Its neighboring cities are also worth exploring. Sarnath, an important pilgrimage site where Buddha gave his first sermon, is a mere 10 kilometers away. Varanasi is alive with gharanas music (a Banaras style of music), dance, religion and culture.
First complete the IAP Online Application. The following supplemental application materials will become available to you through the application portal:
Semester program This academic program combines traditional classroom-based learning with experience-based learning, both in and around the city of Varanasi. Together, the various components present an academic experience that will expose you to the depth and complexity of Indian culture and society. You will have the opportunity to study with an extensive network of artists, community leaders, local scholars and program staff, all of whom will share their perspectives while allowing you to broaden your own. Course offerings include the following: 1. Core History and Culture Course: You are required to take this interdisciplinary course that explores contemporary Indian social and cultural phenomena in an historical context. Local scholars with various academic backgrounds will guide you through topics ranging from social caste, cultural identity and religious expression to peace and justice and environmental studies, all within a broader Indian cultural and cross-cultural context. 2. Hindi language course (beginning - advanced): The semester Hindi language course starts with a five day, intensive, Hindi language program, during which you will focus exclusively on your study of Hindi. This course sets the foundation for the semester Hindi course and helps prepare you for life and study in Varanasi. The intensive Hindi language program combines a focus on spoken Hindi, where you can refine your speaking skills, while expanding your vocabulary, as well as time spent on reading and writing. 3. Cultural or language tutorials: These tutorials allow you to further explore various topics of interest, including Indian Performing and Fine Arts, as well as other Indian Languages (Bhojpuri, Sanskrit and Urdu). In this personalized setting, you will receive instruction from practicing artists and language scholars. These sessions are complemented by group discussions, where you will process what you have learned in a cross-cultural context. If you would like to create an intensive Hindi course of study for the semester, you can choose to add a Hindi tutorial to your regular Hindi language semester course. 4. Independent Study: This is a research project that combines a series of seminars on research methodology with independent research. You have the freedom to select your own research topic, which must be approved by the program. Past participants have pursued topics in religion studies, philosophy, political science, public health, environmental studies, psychology, education and economics. To help guide this process, program staff will connect you with a research supervisor in Varanasi, who will serve as your mentor, facilitating access to resources and providing overall guidance and support. Your mentor will challenge you to focus on one facet of Indian society, so you can employ guided research techniques that reveal how this cultural element manifests itself in Varanasi. An emphasis will be placed on the process of conducting the research and evaluating your findings, rather than studying a body of content. This allows you to refine your data collection and analysis skills, as well as the application of these skills. In total, you receive 17 credits for a semester of study. Academic Year program The academic year program follows the general course outline of the semester model. Additionally, participating in both semesters gives you the opportunity to explore topics of interest in more detail and work on a more in-depth independent study research project. 1. Indian Culture & Society seminar course: Builds upon fall course content. 2. Hindi language: Based upon your proficiency level. 3. Cultural or language tutorial: You may choose to conduct a more in depth exploration of your first semester topic or select a new tutorial topic. 4. A more in-depth research project that takes advantage of the additional time and resources that you will have access to over your year of study in Varanasi. In total, you receive 34 credits for a year of study.

I could not believe it, Stith said, standing on the lawn outside the African/African-American Historical Society Museum, locked out of the place she had opened 13 years ago.
Stiths being locked out is the latest clash between Stith and Pompia Durril, who says he is chairman and president of the board.
The board of directors attorney Pete Mallers said Monday that he was aware of the situation and knew that the board had placed a sign on the door after having the locks changed.
My review of the situation tells me that the board of directors, the group that I represent, has legitimate authority, Mallers said. Pompia Durril is the chairman and board president of that board and has authority.
The decision to change the locks was made to protect the museum and to allow the board to maintain some control, he said.
Emotions are at a very high level between these directors and the museums co-founder, and (the board) wants to reserve her an appropriate place, but they also have a job to do, he said.
Last week, 64 members of the groups 146 members voted to dissolve the current board and to elect five new board members.
But whats not clear is whether the organizations bylaws require a majority of total members present at the time of the vote or a majority of the total membership.
Mallers said that the board didnt have enough votes to get the job done because they needed a majority of the entire membership, not a majority of the 83 who showed up to vote.
Stiths attorney, A. Dale Bloom, said in a letter that the vote was valid with a majority of members present, and the corporation is without a board of directors.
Stith and several members stopped by the museum about noon Monday to put together a statement about a Saturday meeting where members met to elect five representatives to be directors on a reorganized board, Stith said.
But when Stith attempted to insert her key into the door to enter the building, the key didnt fit.
Posted above the lock was a sign cautioning against changing the door locks or doors without contacting Mallers for additional information.
Stith said she was disappointed and embarrassed in the situation at hand.
This has to end. Its gone on too long, she said. We cannot continue to exist like this. If it keeps up, well have to close the doors. The public is going to turn their backs, and I cant blame them when were destroying ourselves from the inside.
The lock situation would need to be resolved quickly, because a school group was signed up for a tour at 9:30 a.m. today, Stith said.
I wont be changing the locks. Thats a game of cat-and-mouse that Im not willing to play, she said.
Stith and Miles Edwards founded the museum in 1975 after realizing that the Allen County Historical Museum had not preserved African-American history.
The museum, 436 E. Douglas St., opened in February 2000. Stith has been the director/curator and is well known as a civil rights icon in the community.

ORLANDO (July 24, 2012) – Rosen Centre's popular Vine & Dine wine pairing series is heating up and heading south this summer — south of the equator, that is, as the award-winning hotel presents "A Different View of the World: The South American Perspective" on Thursday, July 26 at 6:30 p.m. Andrew McNamara, Master Sommelier at Premier Beverage, a leading distributor of wine and spirits in Florida, will select wines from Argentina and Chile to pair with a six-course South American inspired menu developed by Everglades Chef, Fred Vlachos.
The six-course meal begins with a selection of Spanish Cheeses paired with a Bodega Colome Torrontes, Argentina 2011, followed by a Lobster and Artichoke Salad topped with Green Gazpacho Vinaigrette, Shaved Fennel and Olive Oil Caviar paired with a Montes "Limited Selection" Sauvignon Blanc, Chile 2011. The third course features White Asparagus Soup with Mussels Escabeche paired with a Santa Ema "Amplus" Chardonnay, Chile 2009. Guests may cleanse their palates with a refreshing Papaya Lime Sorbet before indulging in the main course, a succulent New York Strip Steak drizzled with Sherry Sauce and topped with Green Chili Aioli. Two wines will be served with the main course – a Colome Malbec, Argentina 2009 and Errazuriz Carmenere, Chile 2011. For dessert, Chef Vlachos will serve a Chocolate Cream Cheese & Chipolte Empanada and Grilled Pineapple Arroz con Leche enhanced with an Errazuriz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Chile 2010.
During the dinner, McNamara will share with guests his extensive knowledge of South American wines and discuss the differences in the winemaking process in the southern hemisphere. As the seasons are reversed below the equator, what patrons may know about the growing season for California wines, for example, no longer applies in Argentina, Chile and other South American countries. McNamara has been a Master Sommelier with Premier Beverage in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area for more than three years. Prior to joining the privately held company, he served as the Wine Department Chairman for the Professional Culinary Institute, which offers the only Court of Master Sommelier's approved program. He is a member of numerous wine associations including the Aspiring Masters of Wine, Wine Reviews,
Wine Tasting Argentina, Wine Tasting Chile, Wine Tasting Uruguay and World's Best Sommeliers and Wine Writers.
McNamara is just one of the many distinguished wine experts to appear at Rosen Centre's Vine & Dine series this year. In January, Vine & Dine featured Jesse Lange, general manager/winemaker of Lange Estate Winery & Vineyards, an award-winning winery in Willamette Valley, Oregon. In March, Rosen Centre welcomed as its distinguished guest speaker, Advanced Sommelier D. Lynn Proctor, subject of the soon-to-be-released documentary film "SOMM." Then, in May, Rosen Centre welcomed Master Sommelier Joseph Spellman of Justin & Landmark Vineyards in California, one of only 118 Master Sommeliers in North America.
Each Vine & Dine event begins with a reception in Everglades Bar featuring a welcome wine or unique wine cocktail. The group then adjourns to Everglades restaurant, offering a comfortable, yet refined setting that evokes the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Florida Everglades for a multi-course gourmet dinner highlighted by fresh, seasonal ingredients and wines expertly selected to complement the cuisine. During dinner, guests may engage in casual conversation about wines with an experienced wine maker or knowledgeable sommelier chosen for each event. Guests can also enter to win exciting raffle prizes, such as bottles of wine, wine-related items or hotel stays. An intimate dining experience, each Vine & Dine event is limited to no more than 40 guests, ensuring personal attention for each attendee.
The cost of each Vine & Dine dinner is $75 per person, plus tax and 20 percent gratuity. Diners may make their evenings even more special by spending the night in a deluxe guest room for a special rate of only $79 plus tax. As with all Everglades dining experiences, valet parking is complimentary.
Vine & Dine dinners can be customized for private group events. The Everglades restaurant's extensive wine list, which features an array of wines from all regions, winemaking styles and price points, allows the culinary team to work with event and meeting planners to arrange unique experiences within any
budget. The restaurant also offers an extensive selection of organic wines from wineries that share the hotel's passion for protecting the environment and creating quality products in a sustainable manner.
For Vine & Dine reservations and more details, call 407-996-8560. For more information, visit www.evergladesrestaurant.com or www.rosencentre.com. The final Vine & Dine event of the year will take place Oct. 26, 2012.
Rosen Centre has received Meetings & Conventions' prestigious Gold Platter Award, which is given to select properties throughout the nation that demonstrate creative and culinary excellence. Just minutes away from the Orlando International Airport and the area's most popular theme parks and attractions, Rosen Centre is located at 9840 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819.

Furthur at The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. (Jay Blakesberg photo / April 15, 2013) |
We mentioned last week that Furthur was coming to town. And this week, they're still here. Bob Weir and Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead play the hits (and the obscurities) from their catalog again at the Captiol Theatre this Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday as part of their nine-show run. The Dead played there 18 times in a one-year span in the early '70s, so they'll feel right at home. Sold out shows have a tendency to have extra tickets released as the show dates get closer, so keep an eye on the theater's site.
The Capitol Theatre, 149 Westchester Ave., Port Chester, NY. Fri.-Sun., Tue.-Wed. 8 p.m. each night. $65-$130. (914) 937-4126. thecapitoltheatre.com.

Is SLM gaining momentum in China?
Control Engineering International: Service lifecycle management (SLM) is getting increased attention in China and Asia, with development of manufacturing services industries, according to Control Engineering China, citing PTC officials.
Development of the manufacturing services industry has been a significant trend in China. For many traditional manufacturing enterprises, their service sectors have became their new growth points. While service is turning a new means of profit, enterprises are starting to focus on management of service processes.
With this trend, service lifecycle management (SLM), a solution that is used to enhance enterprise services business management, has been introduced to Chinese enterprises.
At a recent press conference, a supplier of manufacturing solutions, PTC, showed strong confidence in this emerging solutions business. With the acquisition of Servigistics, a traditional supplier of SLM, PTC achieved a sales volume of $ 200 million for global SLM business and achieved a growth rate of 20% to 25% in first-quarter 2013.
Managing services momentum
Robert Kocis, PTC's global senior vice president, said that throughout the entire strategic layout of PTC, SLM has been very important. Yucheng Shou, PTC's global division vice president, China, also pointed out that SLM had maintained a good momentum of growth in Asia and China.
PTC's viewpoint may show that SLM has begun to attract the favor of the market in China. Compared with other solutions that have had a very mature market, like computer-aided design (CAD) and product lifecycle management (PLM), the development of SLM is still in the growth phase. But in recent years the rapid development of manufacturing services will probably be a powerful factor for SLM growth.
For example, there are some shortages in the services sector of some domestic industries [in China]. Compared with production and research, enterprises pay less attention to management of service, quality, and maintenance.
There is a similar situation in enterprise informatization. Up to now, many enterprises have had mature solutions for product lifecycle management, supply chain management, and manufacturing execution management, while there is a lack in the service link.
Savings in services, quality, parts
However, in the current competitive environment, such enterprises have to face challenges from service systems, quality assurance, and spare parts management. Some enterprises even want to achieve the continuous improvement of service efficiency and service standards.
In this case, SLM, through its several major functional parts, can help enterprises achieve targeted improvements.
For the present, SLM still faces a long-term development and promotion process, but in the long term, huge demand will gradually progress, along with the development of manufacturing services.
- Ariel Zhang is an editor at CE China. Edited by Mark T. Hoske, content manager CFE Media, Control Engineering and Plant Engineering, mhoske(at)cfemedia.com.
Consider this
Savings through coordinated lifecycle management of services is an opportunity for manufacturers globally, not just Asia.

Any news on the next roster update?
how do i get the updates... do i get them by signing on online mode and i automatically does it?
why is the crowd always so unrealistic? they stand up for a bit and cheer and wave thier arms then sit, then stand up again wave thier arms and cheer, come on now, i want to see the crowd sitting, yelling shoot it or pass it, drinking beers, eating snacks, etc. And i think thee new gen consols can handle that....plus i want to see some lgk'ers in sec 304 in the game causing a ruckus.
heheh who doesnt love my slapshot? and yes i know how to pass :)
I just noticed that the new patch is in today, and boy is it much easier to be a defenseman when people's cheap goals don't work!
I played on a random online team and got an easy 6-0 win from lots of passing and one-timers. The real way to play hockey :)
Then won a 2nd game 2-1 in double OT. No shootout to determine stuff. Yay!

PADANG, Indonesia (AP) - Police say a fire on a crowded bus has killed 13 passengers, including five children, in western Indonesia.
Local police chief Lt. Col. Partomo Iriananto says the driver halted the bus when he saw flames pouring from the engine early Tuesday in Limapuluh Kota, a town in West Sumatra province.
He says the panicked driver then ran away, leaving about 50 passengers to try to escape through the back exit. But the rear door jammed and piles of goods blocked the way. He says 13 people died and 12 others were hospitalized with burns.
The driver, who is being held for questioning, told police a short circuit apparently caused the fire.
Vehicles are often poorly maintained in Indonesia.

Total joint replacement has come of age.
Since it was introduced in the U.S. in the mid '60s, steady improvements in materials and techniques have made the formerly rare surgical strategy a highly effective and increasingly common way to relieve pain and restore mobility to joints damaged by arthritis, trauma, and other debilitating conditions.
Today, nearly half a million Americans undergo total joint replacement surgery each year -- many of them not much older than the procedure itself.
But, despite the great progress joint replacement has made, it's not yet a perfect science. And with younger, more active, and sometimes heavier patients now receiving joint replacements, the implants (referred to by surgeons as prostheses) sometimes wear out while their recipients still have decades of life ahead of them.
Of the 245,000 total knee replacement surgeries performed annually in the U.S., 8 percent are repairs or replacements of worn-out prostheses. Such "re-do's" also account for 17 percent of all hip replacements.
So surgeons at Duke's Total Joint Center are actively seeking ways to make joint replacement even more effective and long-lasting.
An important factor in the success of any joint replacement is careful selection of an implant, based on discussions with the patient and personal characteristics such as age, weight, and activity level.
"There is a large list of different implants we offer," says Michael P. Bolognesi, MD, director of adult reconstruction at the center. "What surgical approach is most appropriate is based on the size and anatomy of the patient."
Because returning to an active, pain-free lifestyle is what joint replacement is all about, it's no surprise that demand for the surgery is on the rise, especially among younger patients.
"As we develop prostheses that last longer, it makes more sense to implant them at a younger age," says James Nunley, MD, chair of orthopaedic surgery. "So, with life expectancies rising, we have to come up with prostheses that last 30 or 40 years."
According to Nunley, a key strategy to enhance the durability of prostheses is to design them so that they more closely reflect the real thing. "There is no simple hinge joint in the human body," Nunley points out.
"Yet all the original joint prostheses were highly simplified -- consisting, for example, of simple hinges for elbows. We've realized that, to get good results, we have to better reproduce the anatomical features of actual joints."
For elbow replacements, that insight has led to the recent development by Durham surgeon Ralph Coonrad, MD (who collaborates with Duke surgeons on elbow replacements) of a so-called "sloppy" artificial joint that better duplicates the elbow's natural mobility.
For shoulders, former Duke surgeon Carl Basamania, MD, created a revolutionary prosthesis for the surgical treatment of cuff tear arthropathy (CTA), a condition in which the rotator cuff -- a key shoulder structure -- is missing. Basamania designed the new CTA prosthesis with an overhang that prevents bone from rubbing together, a problem with standard prostheses. All of the CTA patients who have received the new replacement reported satisfaction with the results.
Perhaps the single most complicated joint to replace is the ankle. "Past ankle replacement designs have not been all that good," says Nunley, "and it's quite easy for an ankle joint implant to get out of alignment. Then, just like a misaligned front end of a car, it will wear out more quickly."
Over the past several years, Nunley and colleagues Mark Easley, MD, and James DeOrio, MD, have conducted clinical trials of four new ankle joint designs, with excellent results. "We've had patients come in and say, in tears, 'You've changed my life,'" Nunley says. "That makes a physician feel very, very good."
In their hip and knee implant operations, Bolognesi and colleague David Attarian, MD, are developing new techniques to minimize the length of incisions and preserve bone.
In one such technique, rather than removing the worn ball of the hip (done in most hip replacements), the surgeons shape it into a cylinder, which is then capped with a new ball. In another example, patients with only partially damaged knees can undergo partial knee replacement -- a less invasive procedure that reduces recovery time and conserves more natural knee tissue.
In addition, Scott Kelley, MD, has been performing hip replacement surgery using an technique that dramatically cuts down on recovery time. The anterior approach uses a specialized table that allows the surgeon to position the leg so that he doesn't have to cut any muscle.
The method also allows patients more freedom of motion during their recovery period and minimizes the risk of hip dislocation. Kelley began using the approach several years ago. "The patients really like it because it frees them up and gives them a good hip," he says.
Duke orthopedic surgeons and their anesthesia colleagues have played a pioneering role in refining anesthesia techniques for several procedures, including total joint replacement.
"Our anesthesiologists can now use very specific regional blocks for certain operations that were previously done under general anesthesia," says Bolognesi. "Now they can numb just the limb using directed blocks and give sedation so that patients sleep through the operation, but are breathing on their own and easily wakened when it's over. In many cases these blocks are administered via catheters that are left in place for added pain control following the surgery. If a patient is having a lot of pain, the catheters can be re-dosed. This helps patients avoid using excessive amounts of oral and intravenous pain medications during the early post-operative period."
In joint replacement, as in many other surgical disciplines, studies show that experience is indeed the best teacher -- and that patients treated by more experienced surgeons have better outcomes.
Performing almost 700 hip and knee replacement procedures each year, Duke's Total Joint Center offers patients an unusual depth of experience and expertise.
"There's no question that there are improved outcomes associated with a higher volume of surgeries," Bolognesi says. "Anything you do in repetition, you're more able to perfect that technique."

Create a long-lasting kid's room with honeycomb cellular shadesOct 1 2010 Create a long-lasting kid's room with honeycomb cellular shades Planning out the room in advance is the most important step and the color palette should be selected carefully. It may be wise to put less emphasis on bright, primary colors that a child may dislike after a few years. Instead, try to focus on capturing different hues with changeable items - pillows, blankets, accessories and artwork. Photographs are also ideal for younger kids, so that they can always have their parents in the room with them. These can be replaced later with posters and cut-outs from magazines as children age. Hardwood flooring can be ideal for a child's room as well, because, carpets can be used to shift with decorative themes over the years. For bold, practical window treatments, one may want to consider hanging honeycomb cellular shades on the windows. These shades are available in a variety of distinct styles and can also insulate a room in the winter, keeping the space warm. Related Products

Epilepsy Foundation Announces Updated First Responder Training Video
Editors' Note: Excerpts from the police handbook and curriculum and related resources are available at http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/about/professionals/
Epilepsy Foundation Announces Updated First Responder Training Video as Another Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Police is Filed
Washington, D.C. (August 15, 2008)−The Epilepsy Foundation today again urged first responder organizations to take advantage of seizure awareness and response training offered by the Foundation's affiliates across the country. This action comes as another wrongful death lawsuit is filed. This most recent action is against the Stanislaus County (California) Sherriff's Department involving the death of a man with epilepsy who was restrained and tasered by deputies.
"While the overwhelming majority of law enforcement personnel do an outstanding job in recognizing and properly responding to persons having seizures, there continue to be regular reports about police misinterpreting behaviors related to seizures or post-seizure confusion as criminal conduct or aggression," said Eric R. Hargis, president and CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation.
Hargis added, "The Foundation has developed a comprehensive training curriculum for law enforcement personnel and other first responders on this subject – 'Take Another Look: Police Response to Seizures and Epilepsy'– just one of the many programs that our affiliates provide in their communities to raise public awareness about epilepsy and reduce the stigma associated with the condition."
This most recent lawsuit was filed by the parents of a man with epilepsy, James Edward Wells, who died on August 15, 2007, after deputies allegedly used excessive force in trying to subdue him while responding to a report that he had forcibly entered his neighbor's home. According to the action, Mr. Wells, who had experienced a seizure that morning, wandered from his apartment to his neighbor's house as the result of post-seizure confusion and impaired consciousness (which is common). The deputies apparently misinterpreted his behaviors as aggression, and possibly the result of illicit drug use. (Tests showed that Mr. Wells had no illicit drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of the incident.) Consequently, they allegedly beat him with batons, pepper sprayed him in the face, shocked him multiple times with a Taser, and restrained him, face-down and behind the back, with handcuffs, applying pressure to his back with their bodies -- causing his death by asphyxiation. Visit the Web address above for more details on the case.
Visit http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/about/professionals/emergency/index.cfmfor excerpts from the curriculum and background on similar cases involving people with epilepsy and first responders. First responder agencies can call the Foundation's toll free number, 1-888-Epilepsy, to get a copy of the current training curriculum.
About Epilepsy
When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they have epilepsy, which affects 3 million people in the United States and 40 to 50 million people worldwide. This year, another 200,000 people in our country will be diagnosed with epilepsy. To date, there is no known cure.
About the Epilepsy Foundation
The Epilepsy Foundation, a national non-profit with affiliated organizations throughout the United States, has led the fight against epilepsy since 1968. The Foundation's goals are to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and prevent, control and cure epilepsy through services, education, advocacy and research, so not another moment is lost to seizures.
