"The WorldCom Case: Looking at Bankruptcy and Competition Issues"
Testimony of Douglas G. BairdJuly 22, 2003
IntroductionI am the Harry A. Bigelow Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago Law School. Since 1980, I have taught commercial law and bankruptcy at the University of Chicago, as well as at Harvard, Stanford, and Yale. I also serve as the Vice Chair of the National Bankruptcy Conference, and it is in that capacity that I appear today. The National Bankruptcy Conference is a voluntary, non-profit, non-partisan, self-supporting organization of 61 bankruptcy judges, law professors, and lawyers. Its members are recognized experts in bankruptcy law and procedure, and they are committed to the improvement and integrity of the bankruptcy system. The organization came into being when members of Congress urged the country's leading bankruptcy experts to come together and help draft the Chandler Act of 1938, the first comprehensive revision of the Bankruptcy Act of 1898. For over 70 years, the NBC has assisted Congress in crafting this country's bankruptcy laws.Today, I address the role that Chapter 11 plays when a firm in a troubled industry cannot pay its debts in large part because of the fraud and other crimes committed by its former managers. I make two observations. ? Chapter 11 promotes robust competition in a market economy. It allows assets to be used productively in compliance with all applicable nonbankruptcy laws and regulations even when those assets were previously managed by those engaged in harmful and criminal conduct. ? The proposal embodied in S.1331 on the tax treatment of NOLs on consolidated returns raises a long-standing issue of tax policy. Reforms in this complex environment ought to be undertaken with great care. While I take no issue on the ultimate merits, I believe that the issue deserves much more serious study than it has received to date. Chapter 11 Promotes CompetitionChapter 11 ensures that firms that can demonstrate their future viability can sort out their financial affairs while remaining effective competitors in the market. Chapter 11 is especially valuable when a firm's managers have engaged in fraud. Indeed, managers who engage in financial fraud injure most immediately workers, suppliers, unsecured creditors, and public investors. By allowing a viable firm to survive under new management, Chapter 11 minimizes the harm these innocent people suffer. A firm's assets should not be sold for scrap as punishment for the misdeeds of its former managers. The person who commits a crime with a car must be punished. The car itself should not be. Destroying the car does nothing to help the victims of the crime. The same is true for a firm brought to financial ruin by dishonest managers. We must recognize the rights of the victims, but we do this by putting the assets to productive use and recognizing whatever rights they have as a result of the injuries they have suffered. None of this, however, is to suggest any leniency towards those involved in wrong-doing. Individuals cannot receive a discharge in bankruptcy for liability for fraud or defalcation in a fiduciary capacity, embezzlement, larceny, or indeed any form of willful and malicious injury. See 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(4), (6). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 precludes individuals from obtaining a discharge from debts related to violations of securities law. See Sarbarnes-Oxley Act of 2002, § 803(a), Pub. L. 107-204, 116 Stat. 745, 801 (2002)(adding Section 523(a)(19) to the Bankruptcy Code, precluding the dischargeability of debts arising from the violation of any federal or state securities laws).Chapter 11 debtors do not get a dispensation from governmental rules and regulations. In fact, they are required to operate in compliance with all regulatory and other laws. See, e.g., 28 U.S.C. §959(b)("a . . . debtor in possession, shall manage and operate the property in his possession . . . according to the requirements of the valid laws of the State in which such property is situated, in the same manner that the owner or possessor thereof would be bound to do if in possession thereof"). Therefore, Chapter 11 does not give firms a competitive advantage over others in their industry. Firms in bankruptcy are still subject to the same rules and regulations as everyone else. Antitrust laws and indeed all other regulatory regimes that exist outside of bankruptcy apply with full force inside of bankruptcy. A firm in bankruptcy can no more violate laws against unfair competition than pollute the atmosphere. Chapter 11 merely provides firms with an additional forum in which they can sort out their financial. Firms cannot and do not file for Chapter 11 to profit unfairly at their rivals' expense. When viable firms can sort out their financial problems while they continue to operate, jobs are saved and markets work more effectively. The world would be a worse and less competitive place if Greyhound Bus or Dow Corning no longer existed. Bloomingdale's and Macy's survived notwithstanding ill-conceived LBOs when they were able to use Chapter 11 to deleverage their capital structures. In general, competitors have little interest in encouraging competition, while the public as a whole does. Hence, we do not give competitors a voice when firms are restructured, whether outside of bankruptcy or in. Chapter 11 does allow firms to reduce debt, but the financial restructurings that take place in bankruptcy are no different in kind from the restructurings that take place outside when a firm is sold or debt is converted into equity. If such de-leveraging makes operational sense, the legal system should facilitate it.Firms that enter bankruptcy should not be discriminated against on that account alone. Section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code sensibly prohibits discrimination against entities because they are, or have been, a debtor in bankruptcy. See Federal Communications Comm'n v. NextWave Personal Communications, Inc., 537 U.S. 293 (2003) (FCC could not discriminate against a Chapter 11 debtor simply because it had filed a case under Chapter 11). Workers, suppliers, and public investors should not be put at a special disadvantage merely because their firm is in Chapter 11. Chapter 11 focuses only on a particular firm and asks whether that firm going forward can succeed, notwithstanding its past financial difficulties. Bankruptcy judges are poorly equipped to implement a regulatory process designed to ensure that an entire industry works better. Chapter 11 does not--and should not--weed out firms merely because of perceived overcapacity in an industry. In our legal and economic system no judge or agency determines who wins and who loses--even when the problem is overcapacity. The natural forces of competition provide the best means of identifying winners and losers in the economy. Chapter 11 is part of that process. Even if we were to use government regulation to solve problem of overcapacity, the solution should be forward-looking. It should not weed out firms by looking at the bad acts of former managers.Comments on S.1331I also comment briefly on S. 1331 entitled "To clarify the treatment of tax attributes under section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for taxpayers which file consolidated returns." As we understand it, S. 1331 is intended to clarify the tax consequences of the following fact pattern:Example 1. Acme and its wholly owned subsidiary file consolidated returns. Acme borrows $20 million from a bank and contributes the proceeds to its subsidiary. The subsidiary spends the $20 million in a deductible fashion, generating a $20 million net operating loss ("NOL") at the subsidiary level, while Acme itself breaks even. Acme then files itself and its subsidiary for bankruptcy, and upon emergence issues new Acme stock worth $5 million in exchange for the $20 million bank debt. Does Acme's $15 million in cancellation of debt ("COD") income reduce the loss generated by the consolidated group as a whole (here, the $20 million loss generated by the subsidiary)? Or does Acme's COD income reduce only Acme's own attributes (here, its basis in assets, including its stock in its subsidiary)?If S. 1331 became law, this issue would be resolved in the government's favor by requiring Acme's COD income to be used to reduce the $20 million loss generated by its subsidiary.I take no position on the merits of S. 1331. I do think, however, that it would be unwise for the Senate Judiciary Committee to take action on S. 1331 in this context and at this time for several reasons. First, the issue is far more complex than it would appear to be from the simple hypothetical posed above. (The current edition of the standard treatise on consolidated tax returns devotes 11 single-spaced pages (and 19 detailed, substantive footnotes) to the topic. See Dubroff et al., Federal Income Taxation of Corporations Filing Consolidated Returns § 33.06[1] (2002).) This complexity reflects not only the inherent tension that the tax law faces in dealing with consolidated groups that are treated as a single entity for some purposes and as a collection of individual corporations for others, but also the highly interactive nature of the tax attribute system applicable in bankruptcy. We think it unwise to attempt to make rifle-shot changes to this complex tapestry of tax law without a much more broad-based, in-depth review by those with the greatest understanding of the extremely complicated issues raised by discharge of indebtedness in the consolidated return context. One example of the sorts of dangers that may be in store if an opposite course is followed can perhaps be found in S. 1331 itself. While apparently intending to clarify the state of existing law with respect to how COD income offsets NOLs and other consolidated attributes listed in section 108(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, the bill erroneously references section 108(b)(1) (rather than 108(b)(2)), and then appears to require that all items listed in section 108(b)(2) be treated on an aggregate, group-wide basis, even though it could hardly be thought that extending this treatment to asset basis (see section 108(b)(2)(E)) could be thought to "clarify" existing law, since under no reading of that law could asset basis be thought to be subject to group-wide reduction when a member incurs COD income. Second, I am not convinced that a policy consensus in favor of the result championed by S. 1331 has developed, even though the basic question that it addresses has been understood and debated for many years. For example, in 1990-91, the Section of Taxation of the American Bar Association formed a task force to study the problems involving cancellation of indebtedness in the consolidated return context. After months of work, the task force was unable to reach agreement on the very question addressed by S. 1331, and eventually prepared and submitted to the IRS separate reports favoring and opposing the result currently embodied in S. 1331. Indeed, even the IRS has had difficulty making up its mind on the issue. For a number of years, the IRS seemed to oppose the result suggested by S. 1331. See PLR 9121017 (Feb. 21, 1991). While it is true that more recently the IRS has shown some evidence of having changed its mind, see FSA 19991207 (Dec. 14, 1998); Chief Counsel Advice 200149008 (Aug. 10, 2001), it would appear that the IRS considers this issue to be part of a much broader policy dilemma dealing with consolidated returns that remains unresolved and under study. This lack of consensus may well reflect the fact that, whatever the strength of the policy arguments in favor of the S. 1331 in circumstances like those in Example 1, those arguments are less compelling, if not unpersuasive, when the circumstances are somewhat different:Example 2. Acme has two wholly owned subsidiaries, SubA and SubB, and includes both of them in its consolidated return. Acme contributes $20 million of its retained earnings to SubA, which spends the $20 million in a deductible fashion, generating a $20 million NOL at the SubA level. Meanwhile, SubB borrows $10 million from Bank and breaks even. If SubB were to file for bankruptcy and realize $3 million in COD income in the process of restructuring its debt to Bank, S. 1331 would appear to cause the $20 million loss incurred by SubA to be reduced by $3 million as a result of SubB's realization of COD income, even though SubA's loss had nothing do with SubB's debt. Is that an appropriate result?Finally, the statute that S. 1331 would amend has been on the books for more than twenty years and reflects the many policy compromises--pro-debtor and pro-government--that led to the enactment of the Bankruptcy Tax Act of 1980. As Senator Grassley put it in a colloquy with Senator Santorum on May 15, 2003, "we are talking about tax legislation that has been on the books for an awfully long time." It seems to us that, whatever the merits of S. 1331 may be, it addresses an issue that should not be considered in isolation, apart from its historical context, but only as part of a global effort to revisit the entire framework of bankruptcy taxation. I and other members of the National Bankruptcy Conference would, of course, be delighted to participate actively in such an effort, if Congress were to choose to follow that course.ConclusionCongress should not overlook the role of Chapter 11 in fostering a competitive economy. As Thomas Friedman of the New York Times recently noted, a person designing the best economy to compete in the new global era:would have designed a country with a system of bankruptcy laws and courts that actually encourages people who fail in a business venture to declare bankruptcy and then try again, perhaps fail again, declare bankruptcy again, and then try again, before succeeding and starting the next Amazon.com--without having to carry the stigma of their initial bankruptcies for the rest of their lives . . . . In Silicon Valley, bankruptcy is viewed as a necessary and inevitable cost of innovation, and this attitude encourages people to take chances. If you can't fail, you won't start . . . .THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, THE LEXUS AND THE OLIVE TREE 369-70 (2000) (Updated and expanded Anchor Books edition).

Film and TV Casting/Crew Jobs
Crew and Casting Calls in Georgia
While the Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment Office does not hire crew members nor cast actors and extras for film and TV projects, there are a number of ways for Georgians to find work in the industry. Please find two sections of information and links below — one for CREW and one for CASTING:
When our office is notified about crew or casting opportunities we post them on the "Help Wanted Hotline" page of our website. You can also follow us on Facebook or Twitter. We are not authorized to release production company contact information beyond what is listed on these pages.
You may also wish to list your services in the Georgia Film & Television Sourcebook, the production directory issued to companies shooting in Georgia when they're looking for crew.
When applying for a crew position it is important to indicate at the top of the resume and/or in a cover letter which department or job one is applying for. A general "I'll do anything" resume will most likely get lost in the shuffle.
If you are new to the industry and looking for work, the typical entry level job is that of Production Assistant (P.A.). In addition to the sources listed above, you may wish to get your name out there by taking P.A. training courses or networking with other film professionals. A list of local organizations offering such events is on our Important Links page.
The links below are general film industry overviews for those not familiar with how productions are staffed and structured:
1. Check our Help Wanted Hotline at 404-962-4055 or online. Here you will find any job postings and casting calls that production companies have asked our office to release.
2. You can also follow us on Facebook or Twitter for additional announcements.
3. Contact casting agencies in the Georgia Film Sourcebook, located at http://www.ozonline.tv/oz_sourcebooks1_gfvs.html
3. Read this AJC article, which includes information on contacting agencies.

PARIS (AP) — France center half Laurent Koscielny has been ruled out of the friendly against Australia on Friday because of a calf injury while Raphael Varane has returned to training.
Varane hurt his right knee and Koscielny has pain in his right calf, and both missed Wednesday training. "Concerning Laurent Koscielny, it's too soon. He won't be available for tomorrow's game," France coach Didier Deschamps said on Thursday. "Varane will train normally (this evening). I followed (Real Madrid coach) Carlo Ancelotti's recommendations to take good care of him. So it was more out of precaution that he didn't train yesterday."
The uncapped Saint-Etienne defender Kurt Zouma took part in Wednesday's training after being called up as cover in defense. France, which is in second place behind Spain in Europe Group I, plays its final World Cup qualifier against Finland on Tuesday.

Gap year India
For the gap year traveller, India has long been the one to beat. It's not just a country but an entire (sub)continent, and it has the star attractions to match, from the deserts of Rajasthan to the mountains of the Himalayas, the beaches of Goa to the Taj Mahal. And that's barely scratching the surface: you could spend your whole year travelling here and still not see it all.
Adventure travel India
India has a vast range of adventure travel opportunities. There's hiking and trekking, camel safaris in the deserts of Rajasthan and Jeep safaris on the trail of jungle cats in Kanha. You can take a boat down the Ganges to the sacred city of Varanasi, rent a houseboat in Kashmir or even go white water rafting in the spiritual centre of Rishikesh.
Student travel India
India is well set for student travel. It's easy to negotiate, the infrastructure is there, everyone speaks English and there's a strong link with the old colonial power. You'll find that days and nights spent on trains and buses are a huge part of the experience, and that you don't even have to try to soak in the history and culture. It's everywhere, not just in the temples and palaces, colonial forts and municipal buildings, whether it's a colonial monument in the middle of cosmopolitan Mumbai or an intricately carved shrine on a beach in Kerala.
Volunteer work India
India may be an emerging superpower, but there are still vast differences of wealth and opportunity here. You can help by making volunteer work part of your trip. There are opportunities to help deprived children and adults in the Himalayas, Jaipur or Goa, and to join social and labour projects in villages.

Feeling Lovesick? Here's the cure your most pressing romantic problems...
Lauren...what's the secret to getting men to ask me out? I haven't been asked out on a date in over 9 months!! I don't get it. I'm 34, most people would consider me 'hot', (I've been told that I look a little like Eva Mendez) but I won't hit on men, it just seems so desperate. But I try to look cute, and go out every weekend with my girlfriends, but no dice! What am I doing wrong??
Marta in Manhattan
Toss 'em a crumb!Okay Marta, I suspect that you aren't following an up-to-date romantic rulebook, and are flirting like a 1950's 'Lady in Waiting'. Sadly, unless you get some flirt moves under your garter belt, you'll probably keep on doing just that...
Fortunately, there's a very easy remedy for what ails you...just go to the mirror and ask yourself the following question. "Is there any reason that men can tell, just by looking at you, that you're actually single?"
In truth, the answer for most of you is "Absolutely not!"
Man Fact: Single men often have NO CLUE that most single woman are actually...well, SINGLE, unless you let them KNOW that you are. In truth, men often have PTSD from getting shot down by scores of hot women, so they've wisely learned to minimize their odds of failure by looking for clues from you that it's okay to make a flirtatious approach. And if you don't, they'll just assume that you're hot, but are currently dating some Jon Hamm look-alike. NEXT.
Disclaimer: There are a slim percentage of Uber confident males who'll bust right through the 4th wall and hit on women in elevators, dog parks, and even funerals, (seriously, this really happened to me) but these equal opportunity Lothario's and their Peacock displays are directed at anyone in possession of XX chromosomes, and yes, even grandmothers.
SO REMEMBER: Most nice guys look for subtle cues from you before they'd decide to invade your personal space, by saying, "Hey gorgeous!" while you're zipping into your dry cleaners.
So, Miss Marta, what's a girl like you to do?
Your Love Rx: Toss 'em a Crumb!
You can trade in your chastity belt for a garter belt and date as much as you want to, whenever you want to. You just need to learn how to do one simple thing....
To up your odds by romantic success by 100%, just use the simple phrase... "Nice tie!"
This manhandling maneuver can be performed by the single woman, anytime, anyplace, and is guaranteed to transform you into the man magnet that you were always intended to be!
The very next time that a handsome man crosses your path, (and isn't banded!) simply compliment something that he's either wearing or doing.
Man Fact: All men love to be admired. They are totally motivated by it, will go to war for it, and build skyscrapers for it, so all you have to do is use this male character trait to your romantic advantage.
Casting a small crumb of approval his way will have an amazing "open sesame" effect on any man. He'll happily chirp away with any girl smart enough to notice his fine feathers...and his waterproof sports watch.
Man Fact: Men are externally referenced. They cuddle up with magazines about breasts, cars and guns. Conversing with about any gizmo or inanimate object is always the best way to draw them out.
WARNING: Never compliment a man on his physique! This will only serve to embarrass him or confuse him about what your intentions are. Unless he's 22. Then you might need to spell it out for him.
The secret to successfully breaking the ice is making sure that you're your compliment is always once removed. (exceptions: tattoos, and huge biceps. They fall under the purview of man jewelry, too). In other words, don't compliment anything he didn't have to work for, like his beautiful baby blues.
True story: I once said "Nice Tie" to a gorgeous man on the red carpet of a film premiere. He removed the article and proudly handed it to me, to the amazement of his little entourage (We had a fun date one rainy evening...but I'll tell you that story later! )
Manhandling Maneuver: Let men know you're interested by tossing them a compliment, and they'll fly to you like falcons.

When Night of the Cookers opened early last year, the positive buzz had people flocking to the Howard Street restaurant for its upscale Southern cuisine. A few months later, when the chef left, the kitchen went into a tailspin, evidently unable to dazzle diners in the same manner. Then a new chef, Danielle Kposowa, came on board in July with talk of "sexy Southern cuisine," and we knew we had to go back.
Night of the Cookers—in Antique Row near West Read Street—is a fun, lively place to visit. The brasserie-style setting with its handsome bar and chic black-and-white tile and wood floors just resonates hipness. There's a sister restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, that shares the same owner and crazy name. Somehow, the moniker doesn't seem so odd when you find out it comes from a '60s jazz album that so perfectly fits the vibe.
We like the intimacy of the small dining room set away from the bar. Our personable server, who said he was from Georgia, was only too happy to recommend various dishes. Surprisingly, the menu is almost identical to the one we viewed last year.
We started with prettily arranged Low Country egg rolls–an interesting East-meets-South fusion. The Asian wrappers were nicely crisped, though a tad greasy, but were filled with smoky chicken and collard greens and complemented by a sweet chili dipping sauce. We also savored the comforting Southern grits with fat, sassy shrimp. Purists will like that the creamy grits come unadorned by extras. But if we had to choose, the fried, plump oysters over a mound of fries (served in a trendy wire cone) satisfied our craving for something hot, crispy, and down-home.
Of course, we couldn't resist the open-pit barbecue options. You get to choose your meat, sauce, and three sides. No portion control here! But this is where we felt let down. We ordered slow-smoked pulled pork with the "specialty BBQ" sauce, which our server advised us was spicy. Great, we're all about zinginess. But this stuff wouldn't even bring on a nose tickle. Instead, it was cloyingly sweet and masked the tender pork.
We were also confounded by the sides. Ordering them was like a shell game. We asked for braised collard greens, fried green tomatoes, and sweet potato fries. We were told there were no fries. Okay, we're fine with mashed sweet potatoes, we said. But later our waiter reappeared and relayed that the kitchen was also out of fried green tomatoes. Now, we were disappointed. All right, how about green beans? When our dish finally came, we somehow ended up with sweet potato fries after all. But it didn't matter. Our mountain of food had grown unappetizingly tepid and lifeless.
We were much better served by the deliciously delicate, pan-seared rockfish with two grilled Cajun shrimp, crab-and-wild mushroom risotto, and soothing wilted spinach—all properly hot. The Southern fried chicken—a tender half bird—also was succulent and meaty with old-fashioned mac and cheese with good cheddar and piquant collard greens. But, oops, where was the promised milk gravy?
By now, our server was being stretched thin as the crowd in the bar grew and more tables filled up in the dining room. But we're glad we hung around for dessert. If there's one area where the chef really excels, it's with the sweet side of the menu. We were appeased with an intoxicating brandy bread pudding, lush Grand Marnier cheesecake, and bananas Foster (though this doesn't get the customary flambé) with big ball of vanilla ice cream.
Everyone is so pleasant here that you want the restaurant to succeed. With a few tweaks and attention to the pantry stock and food temperature, we think Night of the Cookers could soon be the talk of the town again.
Night of the Cookers, 885 N. Howard St., 410-383-2095. Hours: 5-11 p.m. Wed.-Thurs., 5 p.m.-midnight Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday brunch.

Most elegant but also cosy and comfortable with a little terrace from the bedroom overlooking an internal courtyard, surrounded by the city, round the corner from the station and all sights. The hotel has the most beautiful terraces which they call their hidden treasures, surrounded by plants and sheltered from the city chaos you can sit out there and read a book have a drink and relax. The room was clean and comfortable with a big walk-in shower and goodies all around like slippers and toiletries, free wifi, minibar and safe. the breakfast is abundant with a great choice including cereals and bacon and eggs. In the elegant lobby there is a bar with television, a meeting room and also a computer which is really useful instead of researching places on a small smartphone. The staff is most charming and helpful and willing to give you information about local genuine places to eat and also places to avoid…all very welcoming!
- Hotel AlpiKeith PrebleFirst to ReviewMay 03, 2013
This hotel's staff was extremely friendly and helpful regarding what to do in the area. The rooms are extremely comfortable, and this is a rare gem of a find so close to the train station which often caters to backpackers and budget travelers. The rooms are also modern and comfortable. There is also a terrace bar and a small lounge on the first floor if you are looking for a place to relax. The hotel is just a short walk from Termini, and it's an ideal hotel for people who are new to the city!

Observing from the City
Making the most of urban skies.
This paradox will grow ever more extreme as equipment improves and dark skies retreat. The future of amateur astronomy is, perhaps, a microcosm of the rest of the world's future: better technology in a poorer environment.
Which of these two trends will outrun the other and become dominant is anyone's guess, in amateur astronomy as in the larger world. One result, however, is already becoming clear. The environment is public but equipment ownership is private. The stars belong to everyone, but access to them is becoming privatized. Many once-common celestial sights already require expensive instruments or the money and time to travel to distant, unspoiled locations.
No matter what the future holds, however, some observers will never let anything stop them.
These are people who set up telescopes in city lots and observe with blankets draped over their heads to block streetlights, while keeping an ear out for muggers. These are people who spend a year examining bleary star images through an apartment window and come away with a sheaf of variable-star light curves. These are people who time the instants when stars are occulted by skyscraper walls and determine the rate of precession of the Earth's axis.
"Normal" observers who have (or travel to) decent skies tend to regard such enthusiasts as crankish inhabitants of an unimportant amateur-astronomy backwater. They are wrong. As the world grows more densely populated, urbanized, and brightly lit, city observers are the vanguard exploring trails to our future.
Rooms With A View
Years ago I discovered the unexpected possibilities of city observing after moving into downtown New Haven, Connecticut. I assumed that skywatching would cease to be part of my life. But our garret apartment had a plastic bubble skylight over the kitchen sink, and one night, just for laughs, I tried looking through it with 7×50 binoculars. Amazingly, I could make out some stars.
Observing anything under these conditions seemed so remarkable that I did some experimenting. I arranged a way to stand on a stool with my head in the bubble surrounded by light shields. Using a plot of the light curve for the variable star Mira, I discovered that my limiting magnitude with the binoculars was as faint as magnitude 8.6. I even spotted Mira near its minimum light.
Star images were distorted by the plastic bubble, it was true, but they were there. Surely lots could be done with a limiting magnitude this faint! In the following months I explored the binocular sky more carefully than I ever had before. I would pick a small area of sky and research everything about it the distances and spectral types of stars, interesting objects to try for and draw little maps. I set up a writing board in the bubble and arranged to rest comfortably there. It was my own little world, with my feet on the stool and my head in the stars. I followed the monthly pulsations of T Monocerotis, the unpredictable quiverings of Y Tauri, and the nightly creep of asteroids. Binocular double stars could be surveyed at leisure, and I spent long periods mapping everything I could see in Orion's Sword. I identified scores of features on the Moon.
Unexpected benefits began to appear. Restrictions on your observing impose discipline; rather than aimless sightseeing, I had to do desk work with maps and catalogs beforehand to develop good projects. This turned out to be the key to rewarding astronomy. The inside surface of the bubble proved to be a rock-solid "mount" for the binoculars when they were pressed against it face-on. The beautifully steady views made up for the plastic's poor optical quality and the gray film of pollution coating its outside. And it was a new experience to be in shirt-sleeve warmth examining Orion, while an icy winter wind screamed by inches away.
The lesson was clear. Desk work, steady optics, and comfort make for fine skywatching in the worst environment.

"For a little tiny place, we turn out a lot of stuff," Williams said. For example, in 1974 the shop made 12 dozen of the customer favorite "Hot Dog" daily. Today, the bakery makes 125 dozen of the specialty pastry every day. Williams described the doughnut as being shaped like a hot dog with an éclair-type "bun" and a delicious buttercream filling. According to the West Virginia Hot Dog Blog, it has earned an honorary "Five Weenie" rating, the highest rating available.
"On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, we do 20 to 30 birthday cakes a day, 120 to 130 on Friday and 40 to 60 on Saturday," Williams said. He recommended that customers call the shop and his employees will help them decide on the shape and size to order.
"People can bring in pictures and we can scan them onto the cakes," Williams said. He said that images of almost anything could be placed on the cakes -- including family photographs, sports teams, entertainers and logos. "We need a day's notice on birthday cakes," he said, when a specialty cake is wanted. Otherwise, they have regular cakes where simple messages can be added when customers have forgotten to order in advance.
"We are probably the only bakery that still makes the German chocolate cake. It takes four hours to make the German chocolate cake icing, then we add the pecans and coconut," Williams said.
"We also make a very popular cake called the tango cake. It is three layers of yellow cake with a pineapple filling, iced with a butter cream icing and topped with toasted coconut."
Williams said, "We do most of our wedding cakes on Thursday. We need a week's notice to make one, but we will take advance orders four to six weeks before the wedding. Depending on the season, we make five to six every week."
Peanut butter cups are also a customer favorite. The miniature chocolate cakes are baked in Mary Ann pans and the hole is filled with peanut butter icing, with a chocolate dipping icing on the top. During the Valentine's Day season, the delicacies are baked in heart-shaped pans and called peanut butter hearts.
"I think a lot of people from Charleston started coming here after Dutchess Bakery closed," Williams said. He said he was very friendly with Eddie Rada, who owned the bakery and whose specialty was bread baking. He said that out of deference to Rada, his business did not focus on breads.
"I'm more into pastries and the decorated cakes. We do make butter bread, French bread and Parker House rolls every day. My kids will no longer eat store-bought bread," Williams said.
After Rada went out business, Williams said he decided to try making King Cakes, a bread-based specialty. "Every Mardi Gras season we make about 150 to 175 King Cakes. They are pretty to look at and they taste really good."
The pastry shop makes 15 different types of fruit pies, cream pies, egg custard pies, and pecan pies. In mid-October they begin making the customer favorite pumpkin pies.
They make many kinds of cookies, including chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, hermits, butterscotch, starlights and, another customer favorite, star cookies.
Eight types of Danish pastries are made at the pastry shop as well as elephant ears, pecan crispies, pecan rolls and Hungarian coffee cake.
Their French pastry shelves are filled with white and chocolate cupcakes, peanut butter cups, white Mary Anns, chocolate cake squares, nutty devils, Neapolitans, apple and cherry turnovers, petit fours and white and chocolate snowballs.
Williams said his shop is certified as kosher under the supervision of Rabbi Victor Urecki of the B'nai Jacob Synagogue.
He added that he never has to worry about any of his good food going to waste because "St. John's takes the leftovers every day for their soup kitchen." He's glad to help out, Williams said -- with a smile.
Spring Hill Pastry Shop, 600 Chestnut St., is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The shop's telephone number is 304-768-7397.

Message Category: Let's Try to Get Along Topic: another question regarding calories burned/weight loss.....
I am a graduate student in architecture. No family. I normally do about 2-3 hours a day. But between spring and summer semester (about 4 weeks), I up it big time. I start at 6 AM with a 1 mile swim, then do 30 minutes on elliptical, then 15 minutes on stationary, then 30 minutes on elliptical, then 15 minutes on stationary. I then do about 1 hour of body master machines. Then I run 1 mile (I have chondromalacia so I cant run now - just rehabs). I then go to school and do my duty as a research asst - which only requires 2-3 hours between semesters. THen I spend about 2-3 hrs doing whatever. Then, I go back to the rec center and do an hour more of elliptical/stationary. At my apt before sleep, I do free weights (either bench or curls, either dips or pull ups, etc).
So yes, for the past week and next 3 weeks, I am doing some serious excercise. I am increasing caloric intake as needed. Healthy? Well, it is fun. I enjoy it very much - and it is psychologically do-able - because I know that once summer school starts it will go back down to 2-3 hrs. it is also helping my knee recover (swimming, ellipticals, etc). I am already notcing improvement.

Kal Enhanced Energy® Whole Food Multivitamin Mango Pineapple -- 60 Chewable Tablets
Not bad
I like the ingredients and the flavor is fine. I would say it is pretty true to what they say - not quite as good as Juicy Fruit gum... maybe if it were sweetened with only juice and not sugar. I will be buying these again.
June 9, 2013
Whole Food Vitamins Are Good For You!
The list and percentages of vitamins and nutrients are really fantastic. The ONLY draw back would be the flavor. If you don't mind your chewable vitamin tasting like Juicy Fruit gum (I have the Mango Pineapple Flavor), then it should be perfect for you. The good thing is that you don't really taste the vitamin flavor because the chewing gum flavor is so strong. I'll switch back to the Alive multi-vitamin gummies when I'm done with this bottle. The Kal has better ingredients though and it is made from whole foods, so I feel torn, but I like to have some chewables because I take so many "swallow pill form" herbs. The vitamin is the size of two stacked nickles and you only need one, so you be the judge.
September 12, 2012
easy to take...tastes good
February 12, 2012
Great Multi-Buy it...
I have recently tried this vitamin. I have a very difficult time swallowing pills & would usually have to chew a regular vitamin pill (YUCK)... I do not understand the negative review here in regards to taste...I find that these do not taste that bad at all.....I'm not sure why they couldn't make it through a single one?? It IS a vitamin and not strawberry shortcake, and being that it is whole foods...chewing doesn't hurt (I believe). I am pretty impressed with this daily...They work for me.
June 23, 2011
Its WHOLE FOOD!!
The taste is a bit tangy, but not bad at all!
They are whole food too so that makes me feel good with taking something that is good for me.
