The last time the Siena basketball team had a five game losing streak was last year. It started with a loss to saint Bonaventure. Tuesday night the Saints looked to avoid capping a five game skid with another loss to the Bonnies. YNN's Chris Watson has the highlights on who left the court with the Franciscan Cup.

Tuberculosis of the spine
also known as Koch's spine and Tuberculous Vertebral Osteomyelitis is the commonest form of
skeletal tuberculosis
and accounts for 88% of chronic vertebral infections. 30% of Kochs spine occur before the age of 10 years.
Incidence of Koch's spine
There are 30 million cases of tuberculosis in the world. 6 million cases of sputum positive tuberculosis are in India. 1-3% cases have skeletal tuberculosis.
Vertebral affection occurs due to hematogenous dissemination from a primary infected organ (usually pulmonary or lymph node). The primary focus may be active or quiescent, apparent or latent.
Simultaneous involvement of paradiscal parts of two contiguous vertebrae is the typical lesion. This is due to a common blood supply of adjacent vertebrae. The other type of affections are central type, anterior and posterior type.
Histopathological picture of spinal TB
Pathologically, tuberculosis occurs in two forms:
- The granulomatous inflammation characterized by granulation tissue and tubercles.
- Caseous type associated with abscess and sinus formation.
Following infection, there is marked hyperemia and osteoporosis. Osseous destruction takes place by lysis of bone, which is thus softened and easily yields under effects of gravity and muscle action, leading to compression, collapse and deformation of bone. Necrosis also takes place due to ischemic infarction of segments of bone. This change is secondary to arterial occlusion due to thrombo-embolic phenomenon, endarteritis and peri- arteritis.
The intervertebral disc is not involved primarily because of its avascularity. Damage to the vertebral end plates and adjacent articular cartilage results in loss of its nutrition. The disc gets degenerated and may become separated as a sequestrum.

noun \ˈbu̇k-ˌbīn-diŋ\: the process or job of attaching the pages of a book together inside a cover
Full Definition of BOOKBINDING
First Known Use of BOOKBINDING
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Joining together of leaves of paper, parchment, or vellum within covers to form a book or codex. Bookbinding developed when the codex replaced the roll. Early bindings were often splendidly decorated, but the typical artistic bookbinding is of decorated leather and was first produced in the monasteries of Egypt's Coptic Church. Rare books, historical documents, and manuscripts may be bound by hand. The cover (case) of the typical book is now affixed to the leaves by machine.

He's On My Team: Darth Vader Penalty Kick

Is that big soccer tournament still kickin'?
Killer pun, GW.
Thanks, I know.
Kidding, that thing deserved a red card.

This is a video of Darth Vader taking a penalty kick. It's relevant because of the World Cup. Plus Vader. Although I hope you know deep down in your heart I'd still post it even if it wasn't. Because that's how I roll: lazily like a deflated soccer ball.
Hit it for the short but sweet video.

This is the first half of a year course in mathematical probability at the measure-theoretic level. It is designed for students whose ultimate research will involve rigorous proofs in mathematical probability. It is aimed at Ph.D. students in the Statistics and Mathematics Depts, but is also taken by Ph.D. students in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Business and Economics who expect their thesis work to involve probability.

Take-home final. 2.00pm Thursday 12/5 -- 2.00pm Monday 12/9 |
P. Billingsley Probability and Measure (3rd Edition) Chapters 1-30 contain a more careful and detailed treatment of the topics of this semester, in particular the measure-theory background. Recommended for students who have not done measure theory.
There are many other books at roughly the same ``first year graduate" level. Here are my personal comments on some.
D. Khoshnevisan Probability is a well-written concise account of the key topics in 205AB.
K.L. Chung A Course in Probability Theory covers many of the topics of 205A: more leisurely than Durrett and more focused than Billingsley.
D. Williams Probability with Martingales has a uniquely enthusiastic style; concise treatment emphasizes usefulness of martingales.
Y.S. Chow and H. Teicher Probability Theory. Uninspired exposition, but has useful variations on technical topics such as inequalities for sums and for martingales.
R.M. Dudley Real Analysis and Probability. Best account of the functional analysis and metric space background relevant for research in theoretical probability.
B. Fristedt and L. Gray A Modern Approach to Probability Theory. 700 pages allow coverage of broad range of topics in probability and stochastic processes.
L. Breiman Probability. Classical; concise and broad coverage.
O. Kallenberg Foundations of Modern Probability. Quoting an amazon.com reviewer: ``.... a compendium of all the relevant results of probability ..... similar in breadth and depth to Loeve's classical text of the mid 70's. It is not suited as a textbook, as it lacks the many examples that are needed to absorb the theory at a first pass. It works best as a reference book or a "second pass" textbook."
John B. Walsh Knowing the Odds: An Introduction to Probability. New in 2012. Looks very nice -- concise treatment with quite challenging exercises developing part of theory.
Santosh Venkatesh The Theory of Probability: Explorations and Applications. Unique new book, intertwining a broad range of undergraduate and graduate-level topics for an applied audience.
Jim Pitman has his very useful lecture notes linked to the Durrett text; these notes cover more ground than my course will! Also some lecture notes by Amir Dembo for the Stanford courses equivalent to our 205AB.
Grading 60% homework, 40% final.
Wenpin Tang (firstname.lastname@example.com) Monday 3.00 - 4.00pm in room 340 Evans and Friday 11.15 - 12.15 in 444 Evans.
if you email us put "STAT 205A" in subject.

An Excerpt from The Face of Fear
A brutal killer known as "The Butcher" is stalking women in New York City. When the police enlist the help of clairvoyant Graham Harris, the horrifying images of the Butcher's crimes replay in Harris's mind—sometimes even at the moment they are happening. Then he sees the most terrifying vision of all—that of his own murder. Harris and his girlfriend soon find themselves trapped on the fortieth floor of a deserted office building. The guards have been murdered, the elevators shut down, and the stairways blocked. The only way out is to climb down the sheer face of the building. But there is a blizzard outside with fifty-mile-an-hour winds—and a dangerous fall from Mount Everest has left Harris paralyzed with fear. He must risk the climb—or become the Butcher's next victim. With a new afterword by the author |

I enjoyed it. The reason they had to put the part in there when Alfred said "I hope to see you with a wife and a life on vacation" and all that is because you have to many dumbasses who couldn't get something like that on their own and figure it out. I try to watch every movie for what it is and basically on keeping me entertained for 2 and half hours, I give it an A.

Eh, certainly the worst one of the three imo
Finally watched it last night and I was entertained but overall that movie just wasn't that good
The scene where they went to war and the unarmed cops charged machine gun and tank fire was one of the most epically tarded scenes in movie history
and how does Joe the cop and some random gangster continue fighting when Batman and Bane are going head to head 5 feet from your location ? That was just a horrible scene..... I mean who doesn't stop to watch that fight ? especially when you are just trading blows for no god damn reason
Other thing that bothered me was I knew that stupid shit Alfred was talking about when he said he hoped to see him at some vacation spot with a wife and blah blah, I knew that would be a final scene of some kind the moment he said and it really killed the ending for me for I knew he was still alive
Also lolz at a young ass little girl making that jump but a grown ass batman needing 3 tries, Im calling bullshit on that one
Bane was awesome but he wasn't enough to make up for the rest
Solid story but poorly executed, like usual they worried too much about explosions and expensive shit like Michael Bay took over or something
Ill give it a B cause I love Batman so much and I was certainly entertained even though I was disappoint
Batman Begins 4life!.... Still #1

I thought it was excellent. 2nd best of the Nolan Batman movies.
I also thought Bain's voice was freaking awesome. The juxtaposition of his weird high pitched voice and how massively bad ass he was - it was a great contrast. Loved his voice.
As far as people hating on Skyfall - you're crazy. If you're one of those folks who said Skyfall wasn't as good as the Bonds before it (except Casino Royale), then you're probably one of those folks who says crap like that just so you can sound nuanced.
Things you do if you also say you hated Skyfall:
- Brag about how you only listen to LPs - Constantly remind people that you "don't even own a tv" - Shop at thrift stores because "vintage rules!" - Tell everyone how _____ film was nowhere near as good as the book - Agree with most movie critics - Your favorite movie is something super obscure and probably foreign - Your favorite album is something super obscure and probably foreign (or the Beatles)

Spoken like someone who satisfies all the characteristics I outlined.
Classic bond movies, for the most part, weren't even serious cinema. They were campy popcorn flicks that appealed to a mass audience of the time. It's just "cool" to bag on new shit. If you say something new sucks, then you come off as the super informed nuanced guy who's life is so rich and so full, he doesn't even have time to be bothered by baser American things.
You wanna tell me that Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan Bond movies were serious cinema and Daniel Craig bonds aren't? How about a villain who can slice stuff up with a hat?
Give me a break.
Just because something is older, doesn't mean it's better. But it does mean you can use it as your favorite thing over the newer version and sound super important at hipster parties.

It was I agree, Bane was awesome too and he did have any epic death or nothing
And his fights with batman were terrible other than the one he beats him down
It was just a poorly executed movie, easily Nolan's worst and its not even that close
I still can't get over that war scene, dumbest thing I have ever seen
Cops weren't even cuffing the bad guys or nothing, everybody just squared up one on one and threw hands.... I was lolzin so god damn hard, I rewinded it like 8 times just to see the front line get merked by tank fire

Nest has joined the ranks of McKinney Avenue shops. In celebration of the store's fifth birthday, owner Heather Wiese-Alexander and buyer Donald Fowler decided it was time for a change. The new place has a completely different feel from the Snider Plaza location. They describe it as "industrial chic" with a contemporary twist, and they've added about 2,000 square feet of floor space, redesigned their logo, and brought in tons of unique items from Europe. "We wanted it to feel fresh and unlike any other stores in Dallas," Fowler says. And although it's a new space, never fear. The fun mix of home furnishings and gifts remains the same. You'll still find beloved D.L. & Co. candles, funky jewelry, contemporary accessories from Jonathan Adler, Kartell chairs for the tall and the small, and Wiese-Alexander's Bell'Invito letterpress stationery.

Recap Michigan gave up almost all Big Ten championship hopes by going down to Penn State tonight 84-78. The Nittany Lions were 0-14 before this game and got their first conference win of the season against Michigan. They played the Wolverines tough in both games this season, but were finally able to put the pieces together to get a victory in the second game.
The leaders for Michigan were Tim Hardaway with 19 points and Trey Burke with 18 points. Both hit some big shots, but the team's defense struggled throughout the night, especially outside the arch, where Penn State was able to go 10-20 throughout the night, well above their season average. The leaders for Penn State were Jermaine Marshall with 25 points and D.J. Newbill with 17 points.
The Wolverines will face in-state rival MSU on Sunday. Though the conference title is likely out the window, Michigan will look to recover from undoubtedly its worse loss of the season. The Wolverines now have 5 losses in conference play, the same number they finished with last season. They still have an outside shot at a top seed, but they will need help. A lot of help.
Postgame Thoughts Absolutely pathetic. Normally, I'm an optimist and I try to find positive factors out of each game. This is not a game that should be considered a positive, in anyway, shape, or form. Michigan lost to a team that was winless in Big Ten play. Certainly Penn State is improving. They were competitive in each of their last three games, but they were still unable to win. Along with this, a road win is never easy, especially in Big Ten play, but this is the kind of loss that can trainwreck a season. Michigan's projected seeding is going to take a big hit, their conference title chances are done, and now they're staring at a big home game against MSU to rebound from this loss.
The major problems for Michigan were rebounding and defense all night. Penn State owned the boards early in the game and in the 2nd half, they were given wide open shots and easy drives to the basket. Even when the game was on the line, Michigan seemed incapable of keeping Penn State out of the lane. That's just not something that should happen. Morgan certainly looked solid when he was on the floor, but he still made several mistakes and was beat badly at the end of the game, erasing just about every gain he made.
However, I can't help but point out the lack in desire this team has shown. There is no doubt that it's hard to get hyped for a game against Penn State and that the Nittany Lions will surely be excited, but that's no reason to just jog up and down the court and not fight for rebounds. Some of the players were fighting hard, but this team just didn't play hard enough and it showed. If Michigan plays like this again, they could easily drop the next 3 games. Along with this, the late game decision making just didn't make much sense. Why settle for risky shots when you are getting good looks inside and calls wen you drive the basket?
Overall, there is absolutely no way to write this game off. It is a terrible loss and one that will linger with Michigan fans for weeks, months, and perhaps the offseason if they don't find a way to recover. This team is good, but when they play like this, they don't show that whatsoever. Going up by double digits late in the 2nd half and letting it up against a team like Penn State is just unacceptable.

Given what I've seen this year, Coach Beilein cannot field an elite defensive team.
We have the players necessary to field a top-20 defensive team but Michigan has actually regressed on defense this year.
IMO, Coach Beilein needs to hire an assistant coach that excels as a defensive coach.

I disagree that we have the players to field a good defensive team. The only big we got who is serviceable defensively is Morgan. Burke and Hardaway are average defenders at best. Burke could be elite but he doesn't bring it on the defensive end all game long. Stauskas is a below average defensive player. McGary and Robinson both have the skills to be good defensively but are still learning.

I lean towards this. People are going to rip on Beilein for this and most of that will be legitimate, but I think fans forget that there are 5 freshmen in the heavy rotation and no seniors. Defense is the hardest thing for young players to do and it's showing this season. I also would just add that Burke is a pretty good defender, not an elite defender by any means, but he doesn't get beat that often. The problem defensively right now is that they are doing nothing to defend the lane right now, which is giving players wide open looks.
AmaizeNblue said...
I posted a topic wondering why Michigan has seemed notoriously bad at defending the three. I think, aside from Burke, the on-ball defense is pretty bad. Players can get the ball into the lane quite easily, which gives other defenders the choice to collapse and help or stay. If they stay, the driver usually gets a good look. If they help, an open shooter is usually found and defenders don't close out in time. The on-ball defense needs to improve.

Gov. Beverly Perdue has spoken to Mississippi's governor after she criticized the approval of last week's referendum banning gay marriage by saying it made North Carolina "look like Mississippi." But her spokesman said Perdue didn't apologize for her remarks.
Perdue spokesman Mark Johnson said the governor had a very good discussion Monday with Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who said last Friday he was disappointed with what Perdue's comments during a Pitt County visit.
North Carolina became the 30th state to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage with 61 percent of the vote.
Perdue responded to a question by WITN'S Brittany Gunter at a Friday appearance by saying people around the country are confused how a state that had stood up to improve race relations decades ago could approve the amendment.

It should be expected and, in my opinion, doesn't really qualify as news.
Here's the LINK anyway.
The theory is that it would cost Span and more to get Shields, who will cost $10.25m in 2013 and at least $12m in 2014 (though he has a $1m buyout).

It should be expected and, in my opinion, doesn't really qualify as news.
Here's the LINK anyway.
The theory is that it would cost Span and more to get Shields, who will cost $10.25m in 2013 and at least $12m in 2014 (though he has a $1m buyout).
How the Twins inquire
Last winter: Mark Buerhle....we'd sign ya for 2 yrs, but you want 3 or 4, at least we inquired
This year: Ervin Santana: you gonna trade him or release him....ok we inquired
Same with Shields
Wont think differently untill they prove me wrong (I WANT to be proven wrong). Shields would be a great asset untill Rick Anderson imposses his 100 pitch limit on him.
There's no doubt that Shields would be a great asset to this team and would instantly become our #1 starter. And I have no problem giving up Span for him.
My problem, though, is this: I have serious, serious doubts that this team is going to contend for anything next season, and in my mind 2014 would be the first season that they legitimately could expect to be above .500. Maybe (hopefully) I'm dead wrong about this. But if that's true, it doesn't do a whole lot of good to have Shields just until the point that he's not under contract (after 2014), which happens to be the point where I think this team could come into its own with a young crop of talent.
Make no mistake, though, it would be a nice pick-up.
While this may not qualify as news to those of us who know that the Twins desperately need pitching (which is pretty much anyone who even looks at the players that are on the roster as pitchers), the fact that they are willing to put out there that they are at least attempting to go after one of the top available pitchers on the market is a good sign and a step in the right direction. Now, they just need to sign someone after they "inquire" about them and I will start to fully believe that they are looking for a way back to contention.
I would love to get Shields. I'm of the belief that if we fix the starting Pitching problem, we have a chance. Shields is a step in the right direction and a great step at that. He will be 31 next season and has averaged at least 200 innings for 6 consecutive years. All the while giving up less than one hit per inning during that span.
The real question is what does Tampa want in return? I think they will trade Shields this off season. It fits their MO. Span is working on a very friendly contract, which should add value to the transaction. Who else will we need to throw in? Do we throw in a better prospect and they give us a lesser prospect in return? During the TR interview, he mentioned that we would see some action early. I wonder if he had a trade in mind or a FA signing?
I know some have downplayed the value of Shields in past threads, but I would not mind if we overpaid to land him. I wonder if Span and Benson would be enough to get it done?
I get greengoblinz skepticism and on some level I share it. But, honestly, at this stage, almost a month before the Winter Meetings, I would expect to hear much more inquiring than dealing. I mean, it takes more than one phone call to make a deal, and all deals need to start somewhere. Generally, that's with an inquiring. Ryan needs to know if he's really available and an approximate starting point on what would get it to happen. The Rays will inquire about what the TWins might want to do. The Twins should downplay it some, but anyone in baseball knows that the Twins need SP. So, I'm excited to hear that a lot of inquiring is going on already. hat is good news. Whether anything will happen? Well, it takes two sides...
Shields would be a tentpole for the rotation. Two years of team control at his salary is very affordable. It's time to make a serious offer.
Many teams should be interested in Shields. The Rays will get a good return. The Royals are looking for pitching. If they get involved, they have the talent to offer a bat and a pitching prospect. If the Rays are also looking for a pitching prospect with the major league bat, the Twins may not be a good match for them.
If that's what the Rays are asking, they can keep Shields. He's a good, not great, pitcher who is due to make ~$22m over the next two seasons. It doesn't make sense to pay significant prospects for a guy who isn't priced much below what he'd get on the free agent market.
Haha, so you wanted to sign Buerle to that monster deal in his late thirties? Come on lets get real. Yes the Twins inquired about people, and in a free market, that is all you can do. Lets start throwing stones after the winter meetings people. Don't be pissed off because we didn't trade for Ervin Santana, who is probably well into his 30's for all we know. The Twins tried but often times these deals come back to bite teams in the bum.
We sign Joe Mauer long term and people scream bloody murder two years down the road. I guess your damned if you do damned if you don't for the Twins front office (who I may add built a playoff contender for the better part of a decade).
How about we do this...overpay for guys on the free agent market because the fans want it. Then the Twins fans will call for the GM's head because said player is way overpaid and should not have been given such a huge contract. Make up your mind fairweather Twins fans.
I agree. The price may be too high and the Twins need to look longer term.
It is tough to buy starting pitching through trades or free agency. Pitching is the most valuable currency. The A's traded several starting pitchers over the years and each time sought young pitching in return. You usually need pitching to get pitching.
Can Shields win 20? I doubt it.
I've got a little bit of an off topic question here, but what are the chances we trade Span for a mid to upper level pitching prospect? A few people, ok a lot of people on this site seem to think the Twins will not compete next year. I happen to lean towards the school of thought that they will not compete. The free agent market is full of overpriced, peaking or on the decline pitchers. Is anyone going to give us a top (50-100 nationally rated) prospect? I would almost prefer a pitching prospect or two instead of a major league pitcher like Shields for 2 years.
Dont get me wrong, I had absolutely no interest in Buerhle last yr as IMO he's not an ace but an innings eater (is a difference to me). I also wanted nothing to do with Santana at his salary (FA maybe).
I believe MN does a couple things. They will 'just' underbid on a player & then blame it on the market OR talk about a team wanting WAY too much in a trade when they knew there was no shot/interest to begin with BUT it makes the fanbase happy.
This has been the Twins MO for sometime. I hope they prove me wrong eventually but they have NEVER been a player in FA & I dont expect it this winter either, as the will blame it on the market.
I would love to get James Shields as long as the Rays aren't asking for too much. I think Denard Span plus a good prospect is a lot, but it would be worth it, especially since we would have him for at least two years. Saying that Shields is "good but not great" is an understatement - he isn't great, but he's a very good pitcher. I do think TR thinks the Twins can contend in 2013, so this is the kind of deal I would expect him to pursue.
This is small thinking. The Twins are 3 starting pitchers away from competing next year and a few minor adjustments. Baker has a good chance of comming back. Gibson should be ready next spring too. There are numerous starting pitchers available as free agents and we also have players we are able to trade. We should compete next year, there are too many opportunities to get the job done. If we are not competing next year then TR failed.Quote:

If the deal were to be Span and Benson, I think you do it no doubt, as long as it doesn cost us Span plus a highly regarded prospect, I think we do it. Then you sign Marcum and bring back Baker on an incentive laden deal and suddenly you aren't bad SP-wise.Hopefully you get Gibson/Hicks/Arcia ready to roll by May/June.
I think if you intend to trade for Shields, you need to extend him right away. If he were to pitch for us for only 2 years, I wouldn't really consider the deal to be a win for Minnesota.
The Twins should be making phone calls and discussing almost every pitcher in baseball.
Stop saying that Shields won't be valuable because we won't be competing. If we aren't, Span (most people think is the center of the package) won't be useful easier.

NEW GROUP! Includes discussions from the Administrators and Professional Development groups. What will it take to move our schools into the 21st century? Please share your thoughts and leadership strategies here.
Flipped classroom
I would like to carry out the technique of flipped classroom in my school. But first I will make a demo experiment on a group of five to ten students. This will require me to build a special website. Can any one recommend me a way to create a free website?

On the night of September 11, 2012, the American diplomatic mission at Benghazi, Libya, came under ferocious attack by a heavily armed group of Islamic terrorists. The prolonged firefight, and the attack hours later on a nearby CIA outpost, resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including the American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, the Information Officer, Sean Smith, and two former Navy SEALs, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, working for the Central Intelligence Agency.After the fall of Qaddafi, Benghazi was transformed into a hotbed of fundamentalist fervor and a den of spies for the northern half of the African continent. Moreover, it became the center of gravity for terrorist groups strategically situated in the violent whirlwinds of the Arab Spring. On the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks against the United States, a group of heavily armed Islamic terrorists had their sights set on the U.S. diplomatic and intelligence presence in the city.Based on the exclusive cooperation of eyewitnesses and confidential sources within the intelligence, diplomatic, and military communities, Fred Burton and Samuel M. Katz reveal for the first time the terrifying twelve-hour ordeal confronted by Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, his Diplomatic Security (DS) contingent, and the CIA security specialists who raced to rescue them.More than just the minute-by-minute narrative of a desperate last stand in the midst of an anarchic rebellion, Under Fire is an inspiring testament to the bravery and selflessness of the men and women who put their country first while serving in one of the most dangerous regions in the world.

"AMAZING READ." —Politico
"A gripping first-hand narrative of the night of the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, pieced together from intelligence reports and eyewitness accounts . . . [The authors] keep the politics out of it and let the events of that night speak for themselves."
—Huffington Post
"Heart-stopping, minute-by-minute detail . . . Much more a tale of valor on the ground than a story about the overshadowing grandstanding we've witnessed from those in Washington's bleachers."
—Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair
"A wealth of information that paints a night-long war . . . The harrowing story of the firefight faced by those who escaped the compound and the two terrorist attacks that night on the CIA's annex in Benghazi."
—Washington Examiner
"A compelling read." —The Atlantic Wire
"Readers will come away with a vivid picture of the rented diplomatic compound where Ambassador Stevens died and the long, bloody fight to defend him." —San Diego Union-Tribune"Compelling. . . The more we learn about Benghazi, the more we need to know. The story is far from over." —New York Post
"This is a gripping, authoritative account of a tragedy that's not going away. What happened in Benghazi on that fateful night counts, because it's the moment when the Arab Spring took a wrong turn and drove into the abyss. It tells the story of a Washington too blinded by politics to see the facts. A wonderful book."
—Robert Baer, former CIA operative and New York Times bestselling author of See No Evil
"A stunning reconstruction of events surrounding the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. It will be particularly instructive to those who have a limited knowledge of the processes for providing security for our diplomats serving abroad."
—Admiral B. R. Inman, U.S. Navy (Ret.)
"A gripping chronological account of the attack. Readers will clearly comprehend how the DS agents were put into an impossible, life-threatening situation with few of the ready assets associated with American power . . . Authoritative account of a still-controversial spasm of anti-American violence."
FRED BURTON is Vice President of Intelligence and Counterterrorism at Stratfor, a leading geopolitical intelligence firm, and is one of the world's foremost experts on security, terrorists and terrorist organizations.

A flight attendants union says it has agreed with Allegiant Air on attendants for routes between Honolulu and other cities.
Transport Workers Union Local 577 said Tuesday that the agreement covers flights between Boise, Idaho, Phoenix and Spokane, Wash.
The union says Allegiant originally wanted to use part-time flight attendants to cover the routes, but changed its mind and is now hiring attendants based in Honolulu to fly the new routes as well as existing routes to California and elsewhere.
Hawaii law requires companies to provide health benefits for companies who work more than 20 hours each week.

| ||
| ||
FireRed & LeafGreen (Japanese: 第5章 ファイアレッド ・ リーフグリーン編 The Fifth Chapter: Firered and Leafgreen) is the fifth chapter of the Pokémon Adventures manga, consisting of five volumes.
Much like its game counterpart, this chapter returns to the characters of Red, Green, and Blue, protagonists of the original Red, Green & Blue chapter of Pokémon Adventures. Red and Blue are forced to explore the Sevii Islands to look for Professor Oak who was kidnapped by a Deoxys. Meanwhile, Green has finally located her parents; however, just as she is about to meet them, they are swallowed up by a mysterious black hole. Red, Green, and Blue must locate the missing relatives with the help of a former foe, Lorelei, and Mewtwo while defeating Team Rocket again at the same time. Back in Kanto, Silver is seeking his parents as well, with the help of Yellow.
Party changes
No Pokémon are obtained in this chapter.
The following Pokémon evolve:
- Green's Jigglypuff into Wigglytuff
- Green's Snubbull into Granbull
- Green's Nidorina into Nidoqueen
This article is part of Project Manga, a Bulbapedia project that aims to write comprehensive articles on each series of Pokémon manga. |

Street lights up with Christmas spirit
8:54am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Somerset By Kirsty James
CHRISTMAS lights at a Burnham cul-de-sac have become the talk of the town.
Crowds braved the cold this month to watch a total of eight homes at Trinity Close switch on hundreds of festive lights.
Hazel Gardner, who decorated her home at number three, told the Weekly News: "We've been doing it every year for the last eight or nine years.
"The tree alone has 40 sets of lights on it and the house has around 90,000 bulbs. It took about a week to put up.
"It's something we have always done and something we will continue to do. The fact that it raises money for charity is an added bonus."
Last year the switch-on raised more than £5,000 for charity. This year's benefactors are PETAL – The Christine Woodberry Memorial Trust, BARB and Musgrove Park Hospital's baby unit.
Hazel added: "PETAL was set up after a neighbour's wife died from cancer. Another neighbour is a member of BARB and another neighbour trained as a midwife at Musgrove's baby unit.
"There's a great sense of community spirit in this neighbourhood. We get a lot of people coming up just to see the lights, which is a part of Christmas for them."
Vocal entertainment was delivered by Curtain Call stage school to mark the switch-on this year. The lights will go on from 4.15pm to 10pm nightly until January 6.

I love this place. Hush puppies
and maple butter are to die for. Train wreck fries..pulled pork...fried chicken...Mac and cheese. I just can't pick one. Always come home with doggie bags. The portions are huge!"

Make sure you have a reservation
as it's in the theater district off Times Sq"

A great meal with friends, servers
very attentive and food was well timed, hot and delicious!"
Dined on 3/6/2014
The food was decent however some
of the portion sizes were slightly smaller than usual. A bit disappointing in that aspect."
Dined on 3/10/2014
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The food,
the service, the ambiance was absolutely incredible! I've been to Virgils 3 times in two of your locations. In Bahamas and in Times Square, NY. both experiences were so captivating. Virgils will be an active part of my fiance's and 8 future. We'll bring our kids there time and time again. Thank you GREATLY!"
Dined on 3/8/2014
The plates of food were huge and
you need to be extremely hungry to finish your order, but the quality was poor and disguised with sauces and not inexpensive. Great if you have kIds and want to feed them full to shut them up before bedtime but a visit to McDonalds or Burger King would do the same job at a fraction of the cost."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Virgil's is fun, lively and has
some great BBQ. There may be fancier BBQ joints in NYC, but Virgil's is down home BBQ. The food is great, service is wonderful and prices are reasonable. It can get noisy and touristy, but that adds to the fun, Good for groups and kids. You have to love a BBQ place that uses towels for napkins. You know some good grub is on the way."
Dined on 3/7/2014
My daughter and I, on a
recommendation from a friend in CA, decided to come to Virgil's for her b'day on our very first trip to NYC. The food was great, the place was busy. Making reservations on line was the easiest and best way!! We had a great time and couldn't finish it all! The only 'negative', --- our server, although friendly, was fairly unattentive. I work for a food distributor, my daughter is in the service industry in CA. We think the server perhaps had too many tables. Drinks never filled unless we asked, she forgot to bring waters when requested. It certainly was NOT a deal breaker-Just no attention paid, even to wish her a happy b'day-perhaps your restaurant doesn't do that. We'll definitely recommend it to others."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Virgils is our regular stop. whish
they had the specials on the table we were told after mardi gras they have not done it"
Dined on 3/8/2014
Fabulous barbecue place. Great
Carolina Pulled Pork, brisket, pulled chicken etc.."
Dined on 3/7/2014
I wanted to take my niece to
something special while she was visiting. Since I always enjoyed Virgil's ribs and brisket, I knew she would too. Unfortunately, it was Friday after Ash Wednesday and as a practicing Catholic, I could not enjoy the Texas ribs special. So while my niece and brother dined on Pull Pork and the always generous Trainwreck Fries, I had Blackened Catfish and Popcorn Shrimp… Delicious."
Dined on 3/7/2014
I've been going to Virgil's for
roughly 20 years. It's always good! The food is awesome, the place is lively, the bathrooms are clean, the service is always good, and it's got an extensive beer selection. I wouldn't classify it as fine dining, necessarily, but if you want really good food in an open and lively atmosphere, come to Virgil's!"
Dined on 3/7/2014
Perhaps that's damning with faint
praise. Virgil's is pretty good, but other barbecue in Manhattan is better (Hill Country, RUB, Daisy Mae's to name three). Virgil's is solid and great for a group and a reasonable choice in a usually unreasonable neighborhood."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Celebrating a friends birthday.
Chicken fried steaks/collard greens & grits sooo good . Friend ordered pulled pork w/cole slaw & potato salad. .. Friend thought sides were to vinegary more mayo. ..service with Eric was super. He very happily had to bring us a new pulled pork since it was a little to spicy for my friend. ( it's a personal preference ). He was very knowledgable on the menu. Which included a mardi gras dishes. Also very timely ... We only had a little more then an hour before showtime .."
Dined on 3/4/2014
always good bbq here and beer
choices to match. a friendly, welcoming spot as well as perfect for a casual meal before theatre. portions are also generous and prices are fair. a winning combination."
Dined on 3/3/2014
Not for a romantic night out
.......more for just having dinner with friends. Love the upstairs near the window, can look out onto the city streets. Service is very good and friendly, food is very good too. Should have a place for people to wait for their tables.......feel like your always in the way of waiters and other people while waiting to be called! But did not have to wait to long for our table which was good! Bar is a great place to hang out after dinner. Over all everything was very nice.....this is the third time my husband and I were there. It's a little to loud, but we keep going back!!!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
I like to go to Virgil's every now
again to get a break from more fancy food. I had the chicked/rib combo and as always enjoyed the chicken. It was moist and flavorful. I was however disappointed with the ribs. They were dry rub pork ribs that were overcooked. They were stringy and hard to eat. I will return but stick with the chicken."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Very good service, super good
food! Close to central Manhattan. This is the 3 time we go to the knife show in NJ and have food at Virgils, I am looking forward to this every year!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Some of the food is decent, but
some of the pre-show specials aren't really worth it. Have to look for the right situation. Some of the staff are very fun though."
Dined on 2/28/2014
The place is fantastic, along with
the food. It's great BBQ style cuisine with smokey flavours and tender succulent meat. The service was friendly and the environment vibrant. Will go back the second I am in NYC again!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
The restaurant was busy but that's
was no reason to have a quicker meal than McDonald's. Waiter asked for appetizer order when he arrived at table. After we asked for a few minutes, he was back in two minutes and pressed for appetizer & dinner order. We gave both (although I normally wait). And sure enough, dinner came in the middle of eating the appetizers. Check was put on table right after we received dessert."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Food was really good and the
portion sizes were large. Lunch for two (including nachos and one drink) came to $75. It would have been nicer if one of the other tables didn't let their 3 small kids run around the restaraunt (including into the kitchen), but the waitservice didn't even seem to notice. Overall it was enjoyable, but it was a very different atmosphere from the Virgil's in Atlantis."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Virgil's is a great place to eat
when you want a quick meal at a good value in midtown manhattan. The restaurant is in Times Square, so it is very convenient."
Dined on 2/28/2014
Food was good, not great. Very
convenient to the theater district. Good fast service. Easily good for a quick dinner before theater. Would appeal to tourists."
Dined on 2/28/2014
My wife and I went to Virgils in
our first time in NY. The ambience is very cool and the service is also ok - the attendant helped us choicing the main dish. The food is really good. We ordered the three dishes combo, with spare ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket (cole slaw and french fries as sides), and it was enough for two. The price was fair - only 54 dollars with 4 beers. We'll come back to Virgils in our next visit to NY."

I was dissapointed as the meat did
not "fall off the bone" as I expected, meat was a bit too dry. The brisket was too fat and did not had the strong smokes flavor I was expecting. Sorry, but I had much better ribs and Brisket in a small town near San Antonio last month. Portions were large."

Food cold. Good music."

I have eaten at Virgils a few
times but only because it's the most convenient location in mid-town without having to take the subway or cab. And to be honest, it might be that I am accustomed to a different regional bbq. I have never really enjoyed the food. The mac and cheese is slightly above average. The brisket is average and the ribs and chicken are just okay. Again, this is my opinion and not necessary reflective of the many people that I've taken there. To their credit, the reception and seating is always very good."

We had a 6:30 reservation got
there earlier and we're seated Immediately. Server was attentive and knowledgeable. The food came out surprisingly quickly. Large portion size and the smoke meats were tasty. I will definitely check this place out again when I'm in New York"

The best beef brisket I've ever
tasted. We especially like the Pick 3 and Pick 2 to share."

Virgils remains a very good BBQ
restaurant in Times Square. It's crowded and can get noisy but the food is always great, portions are huge and the service brings the food out quickly. Ribs are meaty and sides are tasty. Nice to find a place with cheese grits in NYC. A table for 6 is not a problem. Glad Virgils has remained open while everything else in Times Square has changed for the tourists."

For being so far away from the BBQ
capital of the world Virgil's hit the spot."

Staying in Times Square and wanted
a family friendly restaurant. Liked the idea of ribs and BBQ food. Was not disappointed. Great ribs with excellent portions. Almost too much! The children's meal was more than enough for an adult so my ribs and chicken dish was plentiful and the mash potato excellent. If looking for a family friendly atmosphere I would happily recommend."

This was my second time dining
here and the food was good but the servers needs to be a little more attentive to customers at the table."

We have dined here numerous times
& love the place, food & service."

Won't be eating here again, our
server had a bad attitude and wasn't helpful at all. When our food finally arrived it was just average!"

Have been to Virgil's on previous
trips to NYC. This time I have to say was disappointing. There were four of us two enjoyed the food and two had overcooked meals. Service was horrible. Waitress took our order and didn't come back again until the buser had cleared our plates. Never asked if we needed refills on our drinks, never came to ask how everything was. But came to bring our check promptly. Food was good but service needs improvement."

Found Virgil's through the
internet and saw it was recommended by Carmine's. We gave it a try before theatre dinner and could not believe how spacious, comfortable and my goodness, all that delicious food. Every one at our party really found the food plentiful and yummy. Good old fashion BBQ to its best. Thank you...we will be back:-)."
