The step-around on Left (or Right, I forget) Ski Track (Tahquitz) was an awesome, exposed move. Also, the exposed hand-foot match and mantle on the crux of Holy Moley (New Jack City) was rad. Good, butt puckering move!
Crux sequence over the Mummy Roof on Yellow Wall at the Gunks.
Second pitch of Living on the Edge (Snow Canyon in Saint George) - you have to reach around a bulge to a blind jug and then pull out into big exposure over an arch.
Mantle moves are the ones that always get me. Two come to mind. The last pitch on South Sixshooter in Indian Creek. The pro below the move is pretty far away and the move is all balance with a solid smooth wall in your face with no holds at all as you're trying to trying to stand up without pitching off backwards. The other is on the first pitch of Hair City on the Bastille in Eldo. Same thing, just harder.
I get so tired of hearing about this climb, but what the hell: the crux on Straight Shooter. Memorable. This is because I had to sit thru more spray about this route last night, surprisingly enough. Also, the look-down "holy shit where are the feet!" experience on the Nose of Looking Glass Rock moments. Looks like a pane of glass under you, completely blank.
The famous step onto the Upper Exum ridge from Wallstreet on the Grand comes to mind, as does the namesake move on Commitment, 5 Open Books, Yosemite. Both moves require total commitment and lots of exposure.
Stepping out of the "mouth" on Monkey Face Spire comes to mind I'll probably never forget that.
the flake on CCK Direct at the Gunks jumped to mind immediately. I am not sure why.
The step around into the chimney on Eichorn Pinnacle from the Cathedral link up is probably the most memorable easy move ever. +1 for the move on commitment, that was my second ever trad lead and i'll never forget that one. The section of orange rock on the Higher Cathedral Spire regular route is pretty amazing as well. I remember rapping back down that pitch so my friend could lead it as well. The swing around to invert (if you choose to) on Big Bob's Big Wedge is pretty amazing. Wow this instantly turned into a paragraph.
Bullet the New Sky at NRG. After the crux, there's a sequence of maybe 10 or 15 moves that is just too perfect to be true.
The relatively easy move pulling a big roof at the top of the crux pitch on Polaris in Squamish was incredible. You reach around the roof blind, find jugs, cut feet and throw a heel up with 1000 feet of serious exposure beneath you. The setting in North Gully is spectacular.
Stepping off the first belay ledge of plesant overhangs, Seneca rocks West Virginia makes for a memorable pitch
Pulling around the corner on High-E.
Any layback moves followed by lunge to a jug,,,and a wonderful finger jam crack to finish..
Sinestra ? in the creek the move to the left . splitter to thin hands corner .. if yer short with big hands this move is hard.
the moves getting to the 3rd bolt on party in the desert at the corral wall in joshua tree. Balancey and committing, with the bolt just far enough below you to keep things interesting. Right at this spot (not my picture)
Agreed the move on sinestra is wild You put your foot on a just barely big enough edge and tip over untill you can grab the other crack. I think I held my breath for like 30 seconds while making the move.
The sword-fighter move on Bagatelle at Devils Lake! It's a long dynamic move straight to the right with a good left sidepull and left foot; you lose the right foot during the deadpoint and the right hand goes for a gaston at the level of your left hand. It looks almost like firing a bow, only with both hands swiveled.
The last two moves before the ledge on P1 of Heinous Cling, Smith Rock.
The crux of "Airshow" at Moore's Wall is the most memorable 5.8 sequence I've ever done - also the hardest. Overhanging, hand jam to a crimp, then cross over to the jug, after a pretty sustained route and another "5.8" crux already below you - I've seen plenty of strong climbers struggle on that last roof. But there are a lot of memorable sequences at that crag (Zombie Woof). I think the crux finger locks on "Fine Jade" in Castle Valley are right up there for me though. It was my first 5.11 in the desert and the setting can't be beat. We also did the North Face of Castleton that day and the end of the first pitch is a gem as well.
it's not super hard; not even the crux of the climb, but turning the first roof on Legacy (11a) at the NRG, with its perfect fingerlock and backstep foot right where you need it is one of my favorites. Every time I do it, I've just got a grin on my face.
The facey crux sequence on Eiger Direct. & The cryptic sequence of Ten-Digit Dialing. both in CCC
+1 on the exposed move from Wall Street to the start of the upper exum. Not too technical, but damn, you really feel that air below you.
How about the crux sequence of the South East Arete of the Second Flatiron? Terrific exposure for the grade! The best part is thinking about how Kor soloed it for it's first ascent when you're dealing with the exposure. www.mountainproject.com/v/south-east-aretesecond/105755725 However, my favorite sequences are the starts of T2 & Young Good Free Face (thanks MB for pushing me to solos those out!). Work them out as boulder problems them link them together as a nice bouldery sequence of supper classic pulling!
Getting to that perfect jam on the second pitch of Triassic Sands in Red Rocks. Fingerlocking the reach on Davidson's Dihedral, Paradise Forks. As for a route, Kissing Couple, in western Colorado.
For me it's Supercrack. Not that it's hard or anything, just that I get past the pedestal & the little roof into the blue camalots and it just flows. It just feels perfect, like I'm flying up the crack. I get this stupid grin on my face & feel like laughing. When I hit the chains I'm always sad it's over.

#invasionidigitali. Memories from a participant to this event: Dominique Papi Giuliani
The Pinacoteca of Siena, a digital invasion by Dominique Papi Cipriani
By chance I have taken part in an initiative, which is called Digital Invasion (Invasione Digitale), for motivating people to enter into the places of art all across Italy, people with cameras or even mobile phones, to shoot photos, freely, without flash, and then to put them up on social networks, like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
A procedure of sharing artistic images, with the speed of today's times, to make them accessible to others, maybe only an hour after having seen them, details of a painting or a glimpse of a church, a garden and a sculpture, captured by visitors in an all-embracing bewilderment.
Once disbanded the sanctity of the museum and the works within, we wander around in search of an immediate grandeur, inebriated by a bright largeness of enjoyment like an undisciplined school-class on a tour through the silent halls.
With this walk, together with others- really too few for a such unexpected opportunity- I proceed through the halls. The organizers have provided us a descriptive text in advance , obviously through email, with the sequences and the artists.
Surprised by this possibility and with about three hours at my disposal I get ready to observe the paintings with a different look and I cheer up from the overcast and tedious day outside.
Being in ignorance of art and old masters, I approach the paintings that attract me more and that intrigue me because of interesting images and perspectives.
Madonna' gazes so melancholic and intense enchants me. In the folds of a painting I catch sight of more figures, main characters in that component. On the predella of famous paintings there are whole stories told, like small worlds standing on their own in a wider landscape. Some bishops inspect me despotically next to gentle angels. The fixedness of their gazes offers to all visitors a recall of something different, a reflection which, however, we hold difficulties, because nearby there is another painting which in turn gives a new demand. Among the astonishment and the incomprehension and the admiration for such perfection and beauty, we remain struck and almost embarrassed for not being able to detach our look.
The work presented here focuses on the peculiarity of the details, sections of paintings from which the color has been taken out for a pictorial reading without the amplifications of pigments. A photographic claim in light of the magnificence of these paintings, where gold is the main actor next to the carmine-red, the vermillion, the faint colors of rosy reflections in religious worlds, which tell the scenes of the holy family with stylized landscapes in the distance, locations of Siena, folks from times ago.
In this syndrome of emotional contradictions between what I see and what I feel, I think about historians who know these objects d'art, their history. They have deeply studied the old masters and their peculiarities and first of all their distinctive trait. I admire these people, who pass their lives following their own itineraries with commitment and strictness and often lead them up to important discoveries for the understanding of the painter, to that tile which was missing for the full and definitive assignment of a master-piece, and who continue to research, analyse, study, examine pictures, read books and essays, always directed towards the appropriate settlement.
I deem myself fortunate for having lived in a family, where art was at home at all levels, and for have been able to move around easily amidst art-works of importance without anybody revealing or explaining anything to me. The paintings were there and I was there in front of them. This was a great gift that I have received and also in this way my photographical analysis of the sight was born.
Pick up what you have seen and return it, interpreted in a photography.
The Pinacoteca di of Siena with its important works and with the stillness of its halls has allowed me to relive intensely this freedom of enjoyment.
I vividly thank those who have organized this visit, which has provided an important service for communicating art, in the most contemporary and immediate aspects, in spite of not being backed up by any historical and artistic research, it has allowed many people to get into contact with a reality that surrounds us and which remains invisible for most.

Because the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE preserved the town of Pompeii so well, we know a great deal about the art and architecture that was produced there. But what can be reconstructed of the lives of Pompeii's inhabitants? Dr. Joanne Berry, of Swansea University, UK, will answer this question for us. She will start by considering a few named high status individuals from Pompeii, and the evidence that can be used to discuss their status, careers, property and families. She will then discuss the evidence for daily life more generally—what it was like to live in the town for different groups of people, such as slaves, prostitutes and gladiators.

... providing it is under $1000, has IS and has a built in 1.4 ......
I have heard numerous photographers say they'd pay "anything" for a top notch lens in that segment.
I would much prefer a wider lens than an updated, faster 16-35. The 14-24mm people talk about would be great but as someone has already pointed out - would it support filters? the Nikon 14-24mm (that's been around since 2007!) doesn't support screw on filters but is this something that Canon could develop? who knows. I think 16-35 is all we're going to see for a while
Dont want a new 16-35 . I want a 14-24 or even wider. If Canon dont come up with a super ultra wide lens. I might consider swapping over to Nikon
Am I the only one who is more turned off by distortion of the 16-35mm than anything else? I know... you say I can "correct" it in post. BUT correcting it in post means a 16mm shot is effectively an 18-20mm shot after cropping. And some shots are kinda hard to correct in post.

Switzer's letters provide descriptions of France and her people, the drudgery of military life, how soldiers relieved boredom, the final days of the war before the Armistice, the march into Germany, and the early months of the Occupation. Letters to Switzer document life on the home front and the fears of friends and family with a loved one overseas. The researcher will also discover, upon careful examination, popular slang terms, a description of a hurricane, prejudices and fears, reactions to new inventions and a glimpse into the life of a young American in the early twentieth century. Of note are maps of France and Germany during World War I, which detail battle positions and troop movements.

Includes historical material, annual command histories, memorandums, memorabilia, crew member recollections, press releases, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, and photographs. Aside from documenting the military actions in which the vessel participated and the activities of a repair vessel in the United States Navy, the collection also provides a glimpse into the recreational activities in which the crew engaged.

---- — MORIAH — On days when little Connor Bruce Courtright feels sick, he manages a smile anyway.
The 6-year-old is fighting B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, a rare disease with symptoms similar to childhood leukemia, and he must go for once a week for treatment at Fletcher Allen Healthcare in Burlington.
"He's doing OK," said Connor's uncle Matt Courtright of Port Henry. "It's one day at a time for Connor and his parents. But he's a trouper."
Connor, the son of Joseph Courtright of Ticonderoga and Kim McCaffery of Moriah, attends Moriah Elementary School.
A benefit dinner for Connor will be held at the Knights of Columbus hall in Ticonderoga at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3. Dinners will be served until sold out. Takeouts will be available. There will also be a raffle and door prizes.
The menu will include homemade marinara sauce and meatballs, angel-hair pasta, homemade baked ziti and lasagna, as well as tossed salad, rolls, butter and cookies.
The cost is $10 a person, with all proceeds to benefit Connor and his family for treatment, travel and other expenses related to the child's fight against cancer.
The benefit dinner is sponsored by John and Joanne Bartlett, the Knights of Columbus and Eddie's Restaurant. If possible, diners are asked to RSVP to 546-3148 or email email@example.com so organizers can estimate how much food they need to prepare.
"Everyone in the area has been amazing," Matt said. "People and businesses have been overwhelming with their help. This community stepped up like nothing else matters. People put everything aside to help Connor."
He said the family hopes people will attend the dinner, not just to continue their support, but so they can greet and thank them.
Crown Point Network Technologies is also helping and has donated "Team Connor" T-shirts that are being sold to raise money for the family. The shirts are available at the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and will be sold at the benefit dinner.
Connor is getting excellent care at Fletcher Allen, Matt said, but it's still grueling for everyone.
"It's a long road over there, back and forth constantly," he said. "He needs to have a blood-cell count the day before each treatment, but he can have that here, at Inter-Lakes Health in Ticonderoga."
Despite his illness, Connor is still a happy child, his uncle said.
He's handling it well," Matt said. "The doctors are very positive about the outlook, but it's two years of treatment.
"He always has a smile. I call him my hero."

Man held after being charged with eight feloniesFebruary 08,2013Man charged with eight felonies
BENNINGTON A Rupert man is facing eight felony charges, all of them punishable by life in prison after police said he assaulted a woman in two different towns Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.
Mark T. Johnson, 31, of Rupert, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on four felony counts of first-degree aggravated domestic assault, two felony counts of second-degree unlawful restraint and one felony count each of kidnapping and first-degree unlawful restraint risking injury.
Johnson was also arraigned for one misdemeanor count each of domestic assault, simple assault and interference with access to emergency services.
The charges were modified because Johnson was a charged as a habitual offender, a sentencing enhancement available when a defendant has previously been convicted of three or more felonies. A person convicted as a habitual offender can be sentenced to up to life in prison.
According to affidavits filed by Vermont State Police troopers, a woman who knew Johnson reported Feb. 2 that he had assaulted her Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. She said he had punched her in the back of the head Jan. 31 at his home in Rupert.
The woman told police that Johnson hits her in the back of the head so that no one would see any bruises he leaves.
She said Feb. 1 Johnson hit her and dragged her by the hair, pulling some of her hair out, in a public park in Manchester. During the incident she said, Johnson also kept her from leaving a vehicle and took her phone so she couldnt call police.
Another man who was present Feb. 1 said Johnson hit him in the eye when he tried to prevent Johnson from hitting the woman.
Police said Johnson denied any physical altercation.
Johnson, who pleaded innocent, was ordered held without bail on Monday.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late... Full StoryA Rutland jury has returned a verdict in favor of a retired obstetrician and Rutland Regional... Full Story

Broadway Performer Tim Federle Will Sign Showbiz Novel "Better Nate Than Ever" at Drama Book Shop Feb. 5
By Adam Hetrick
Author and Broadway performer Tim Federle will sign copies of his new book "Better Nate Than Ever" Feb. 5 at the Drama Book Shop. The novel for young readers and theatre lovers of all ages follows a young Broadway fan who makes a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York City in pursuit of his big break.
Federle, who has appeared on Broadway in Gypsy with Bernadette Peters, as well as The Little Mermaid and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, will be part of a Q&A session with Tony Award-winning producer and Disney Theatricals Productions president Thomas Schumacher at 5:30 PM. A book signing will follow at 6 PM. The Drama Book Shop is located at 250 W. 40th Street.
"Better Nate Than Ever," which will be released Feb. 5 by Simon & Schuster, marks Federle's debut as a novelist. A sequel to the book is in the works.
Federle was a swing, dance captain and associate choreographer for the Broadway production of Billy Elliot, and the novel is inspired by the young performers who auditioned for the show — one in particular who carried a lucky rabbit's foot behind his back during his audition.
Here's how it's described: "'Better Nate Than Ever' invites readers on an adventure with Nate Foster, a small-town eighth grader with big-city dreams. For Nate's whole life, all he's wanted is to be in a Broadway show. (Heck, he'd settle for seeing a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he's stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune? With Libby's help, Nate plans a daring overnight escape to New York. There's an open casting call for E.T.: The Musical, and Nate knows this could be the difference between small-town blues and big-time stardom."
Next week Playbill Video will launch an exclusive series featuring Federle and a handful of Broadway's youngest stars.
"Better Nate Than Ever" is currently available on Amazon.com. Visit TimFederle.com.

RADA to employ 130 through JEEP — Hayles
BY ANTHONY LEWIS? Observer Writer email@example.com??
MONTEGO BAY, St James—Junior Agriculture and Fisheries Minister, Ian Hayles, says that more than 130 persons are to be employed to the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) under the Jamaica Emergency Employment Programme (JEEP).
Set to cost the Government $78 million, Hayles said, the programme will begin next month.
"Under JEEP over the next couple of weeks every parish will be getting extra staffing. At least ten at each RADA office," Hayles said.
The junior minister made the disclosure on Wednesday, while addressing farmers and staff of the RADA St James office in Montego Bay.
He told the gathering that some of the employees will be involved in the distribution of planting material, in an effort to satisfy the growing demand for agricultural inputs.
The move, he said, is aimed at reducing the country's food import bill.

The region's military supporters joined county and national officials Tuesday night in Pittsburgh to protest the planned closure of the Moon-based 911th Airlift Wing.
More than 150 veterans and others gathered at a rally at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall in Oakland to urge U.S. military officials to reconsider closing the airlift wing
The Air Force announced plans earlier this year to the 911th in 2013, eliminating 1,100 military and 280 civilian jobs in the move. The neighboring 171st Refueling Wing also has been targeted for realignment and personnel layoffs.
U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, stood alongside U.S. Reps. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, Jason Altmire, D-McCandless, and Mark Critz, D-Johnstown, and Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. Together, they spoke out on behalf of the air bases, which are among the bases and facilities included in a Pentagon plan to cut as much as $8.7 billion from the U.S. Air Force's 2013 budget.
The Air Force targeted the 911th for closure because of the of its eight C-130 aircraft, which are among the oldest tactical aircraft still flying for the military.
Supporters of the bases, however, have that their use of runways at Pittsburgh International Airport make them among the most cost-effective military installations in the country.
Rally-goers often erupted in applause throughout the event, which was sponsored by Allegheny County Veterans Affairs

HoopsHype Dan Fegan rumors
Remember the ESPN report stating Mikhail Prokhorov met with Dwight Howard illegally before the season? Well, Prokhorov finally explained what happened. The Russian said members of the Nets went to Miami to speak with Dan Fegan about free agent Nene. Fegan, of course, also reps Howard. "That's why it was maybe it was a lot of rumors coming from Dwight Howard's people." Sulia
Ken Berger: A person briefed on the situation tells @CBSSports that the NBA will execute contract amendment without signature of agent Dan Fegan. Twitter
Dwight Howard signed a waiver Thursday that keeps him under contract with the Orlando Magic through next season. The waiver denies him the right to terminate his contract after this season. After going back and forth regarding his intentions, Howard said Wednesday that he would sign the waiver. ESPN.com
Josh Robbins: Kevin Samples, D12's manager, says Dwight "is definitely not firing Dan Fegan." Twitter
Josh Robbins: Kevin Samples about Dan Fegan: "He is the strongest member of our business team and he will not be going anywhere." Twitter
Josh Robbins: Samples: "Dan has been nothing but work his hardest to do the best thing for Dwight and the Dwight Howard brand." Twitter
Alex Kennedy: Source close to Dwight Howard says the center plans to sign ETO waiver on Thursday morning. It also sounds like Howard may fire Dan Fegan. Twitter
In a Wednesday night conference call with team officials before Orlando's game in San Antonio, after indications to the contrary earlier in the day, Howard firmly told the Magic he is not prepared to surrender the option in his contract that allows him to become a free agent at season's end. Magic spokesman George Galante confirmed the conference call to the Associated Press on Wednesday night after ESPN.com, citing sources with knowledge of the call, reported that Howard and agent Dan Fegan clarified their position with Magic CEO Alex Martins, owner Rich DeVos and other members of the DeVos family on the line. ESPN.com
Fegan then added in a statement to ESPN.com that Howard only did so in conversations with teammates and team officials earlier Wednesday because he had been warned by the Magic that they would definitely trade him this week if he didn't take that step. "Dwight has chosen not to waive his ETO under pressure from the team that he might be traded," Fegan said. "However, Dwight expressed once again on a call today with the DeVos family and Alex Martins that he very much desires to pursue a championship this year with the Magic. Dwight also expressed that he had no intention of leaving the Magic high and dry at the end of the season." ESPN.com
Stefan Bondy: I erroneously wrote in a recent article about Kris Humphries that he is back with agent Dan Fegan after leaving Marc Cornstein. Humphries currently doesn't have an agent and is leaning to a return with Fegan. Twitter
The Mavericks have a lavish operation, a player-friendly owner and almost enough cap space almost in hand. Both D's are OK with the Mavs. A Third D, Dan Fegan, Howard's agent, is all but joined at the hip with Mark Cuban and Coach Rick Carlisle. SheridanHoops
Another team has lurked in the weeds all along: Dallas, which let Tyson Chandler, Caron Butler and J.J. Barea leave, sacrificing this season but putting the Mavs in position to create a max slot. Into that slot, presumably, would go Williams, a Dallas native. Of course, it could also accommodate Howard, whose agent, Dan Fegan and owner Mark Cuban are, as a source noted, "as close as any owner and any agent are." SheridanHoops
League sources confirmed to The Post on Saturday night that Dwight Howard has requested a trade to the Nets. Howard's decision comes on the heels of Smith granting permission to Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, to speak with three teams - the Lakers, Mavericks and Nets - about a possible deal on Friday. New York Post
Sam Amick: Orlando PR man Joel Glass calls to inform that D. Howard's agent now has permission to speak w/ Lakers, Nets, & Mavs about possible trade. Twitter
The agent for Dwight Howard, Dan Fegan, tells Y! Sports that Orlando has given Howard permission to talk to three teams. Twitter
The Orlando Magic have given Dwight Howard's representatives permission to speak with the New Jersey Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks about a possible trade for the All-Star Center, his agent told Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo! Sports
Smith has given Fegan permission to speak with or meet with three teams -- New Jersey, Dallas and the Lakers -- about a potential trade, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard. ESPN.com
Fegan said he met with King this week to discuss a deal for Nene, another client. "Tampering is a non-issue," Fegan told Yahoo! Sports by phone Friday night. Yahoo! Sports
Fegan read the following prepared statement over the phone to The Magazine: "I read reports today of a meeting between Dwight Howard, his representatives and the New Jersey Nets which claimed, according to the story's anonymous sources, that such a meeting violated the NBA's tampering policies. This story is clearly inaccurate with respect to tampering claims and other facts. Tampering doesn't apply once a team grants permission for a player and/or his representatives to make contact with another team. The Magic have given us permission to have contact with several teams in order for Dwight to explore his options. I most definitely had contact with the teams I was granted permission to speak with. Since we had permission to have contact with several teams the report of possible tampering is undeniably false." ESPN.com

Tiger Woods is back atop the leaderboard at the 2012 U.S. Open, moving into a first place tie with Jim Furyk with a birdie on No. 13. He is now even on the day. Beau Hossler fell back from his first-place perch, hitting a bogey on No. 2 and a double bogey on No. 4 to drop back to 2-over on the day and three shots off the lead.
Woods birdied on No. 10 to move within one shot of the lead, then sank a roughly four-foot putt for birdie on No. 13 to move back to join Furyk, who finished the day at 1-under.
Hossler, meanwhile, has started to show his youth. The 17-year-old double bogeyed a very difficult par-4 No. 4 in the middle of a tough stretch of the course. Still, if he can finish up his final four holes without too much damage, he will be in great shape with two days left in the tournament.

City fire crews fighting fire in gun shop on Elm StreetBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 19,2013A fire destroyed three-bay garage and reported gun shop on Elm Street in the city early Tuesday morning.
Rutland City Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said when firefighters arrived to the scene around 8 a.m. flames and a lot of smoke could be seen from the wooden garage behind the home. He said the cause of the fire was unknown at the time, but fire investigators with Vermont State Police were called in.
"We wanted to air on the side of caution," the chief said. "We used defensive tactics, meaning we did not go inside of the building."
Schlachter said a vehicle in the garage sustained a lot of damage along with the various items inside.
"Everything in there was pretty well damaged," he added.
He said they found several guns and ammunition in boxes and that none had gone off during the fire, though they took precautions.
"Ammunition in a box, the casing goes one way while the projectile goes the other way," Schlachter said. "It can cause damage, but not it does not go as fast as if shot from a gun."
The fire chief said the fire was contained to the garage, but the owner of the house was evacuated as a precaution.
Donna LaRose, who lives across the street, was alarmed to see the fire in the shed behind King's house a little before 8 a.m.
"I see smoke, flames, shooting out over there," she said. "I came out and screamed, 'somebody call 911!'"
Other neighbors knocked on the door to the Kings to warn them, and multiple fire engines responded to the street and began to set up hoses with precautions taken because of the threat of ammo in the building.
According to Mayor Christopher Louras, who walked down to check on the fire, the precautions were part of a protocol followed by the fire department in these cases.
According to neighbors, King's gun shop has been in business around 40 years; the owner, Gerald King, lives in the house adjacent to the shop, which is housed in a shed to the rear of the house. King is retired, but still does some work on guns.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The contractor working on Vermonts health insurance exchange has issued a report...

You can view the current brochure here.
To be considered for admission, you must take the GMAT, hold a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, and submit a completed application for admission. International applicants may check for degree equivalency by contacting UCLA Graduate Admissions at (310) 825-3819.
Work experience is not required for admission. It is important for you to assess your own readiness when deciding to apply. Recent college graduates who have exceptional academic records and GMAT scores, who have demonstrated strong leadership in college, and who are ready to pursue their MBA are encouraged to apply. We seek to admit outstanding leaders at different points in their professional careers. We feel it is not the quantity, but the quality of your experience (and how that experience fits with your goals), that counts.
Yes. Applicants are notified on a continuous basis throughout each application period so you are advised to apply for admission as early as possible. Historically, fewer applicants are admitted in the last round, which tends to be especially competitive. Candidates who are denied admission during one deadline period cannot reapply during another deadline period in the same academic year. However, denied applicants may reapply the following year.
The Admissions Committee selects a diverse community of students who will succeed in managerial leadership and bring unique contributions to enrich UCLA Anderson. The committee carefully evaluates: biographical and academic background information; your GMAT score and (for most international applicants) TOEFL score; achievements, awards, and honors; employment history; letters of recommendation; essays; and college and community involvement, especially where you have served in leadership capacities.
We recommend that all admitted students complete a differential calculus course prior to the start of MBA studies. Knowledge of statistics also is recommended to prepare for MBA coursework. Finally, all students are expected to have a working knowledge of word processing, as well as spreadsheet and presentation software applications (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
No. Many factors are considered in the decision process. Admissions decisions are not made solely on the basis of grades and test scores. However, you may want to note our average and range of scores in our most recent class profile and ensure that your GMAT score (including AWA) represents your ability. If your score doesn't reflect your ability then, we recommend that you consider retaking the test.
We will see all of your scores and will not average them, but we will primarily consider your highest score.
The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test (CAT) that is administered frequently throughout the year at approximately 400 computer-based testing locations around the world. To make testing arrangements, go online to www.mba.com and please note that the GMAT code for UCLA Anderson is 2NZ-2F-24.
TOEFL or IELTS scores are required of all applicants EXCEPT those who were educated solely in English for their undergraduate and/or prior graduate degree. Applicants from non-English-speaking countries are not required to take the TOEFL or IELTS tests if their academic documents confirm that all degree coursework was completed in English. Please note that work experience in English is not sufficient for a TOEFL/IELTS waiver; the key factor is being educated in English. For more information about the TOEFL, go to www.ets.org/toefl/ or call (609) 771-7100.
Almost all admits have over 100 on the TOEFL IBT, or 610 on the TOEFL paper-based test, or 7.0 overall on the IELTS. For more information about the TOEFL, go to www.ets.org/toefl/ or call (609) 771-7100.
Please submit only one recommendation, preferably from supervisors or managers at your current place of employment.
If you have been out of school for less than two years, you may include an academic recommendation in place of a work-related one. Ideally an academic recommender should know you beyond the classroom through research, internships or other interactions. Early career applicants should also consider asking club advisors, internship supervisors or other employers who can comment on your leadership skills.
In your optional essay you can explain your reasons for not including a recommendation from your direct supervisor. You may use a recommendation from another work-related source such as a client or a manager from another department who knows your skills, or a former boss who has left the company. We are looking for a recommendation from someone who knows your work well, preferably from a supervisory perspective. Remember that family and friends/peers at work are not the best sources.
Components of an application are not weighted. All of the factors are important aspects of the application. The Admissions Committee conducts a comprehensive review and considers the total application.
Interviews are by invitation only. If you are selected for an interview, you will be notified after the admissions committee has done a preliminary review of your application, which could be at any time during the admissions round. If you cannot come to campus for the interview then one will be arranged with a UCLA Anderson alumnus/alumna in your location. All candidates being considered for admission will be interviewed, but an interview is not a guarantee of an offer. There is no difference between interviews conducted on-campus or off-campus, as all interviewers are trained to evaluate communication skills, focus, reasoning, passion, and understanding of the opportunities that a UCLA Anderson MBA provides.
Yes, we encourage you to attend a Group Information Session (GIS), conducted by an admissions representative, to learn about UCLA Anderson's full-time MBA Program, student life, and admissions process. A GIS provides a forum for questions in a small group setting. Sign up for a GIS at anderson.ucla.edu/mba-events. You also can attend classes, meet professors, and talk with current MBA students through our Admissions Ambassador Corps (AAC) on Monday through Thursday from mid-October through early May, excluding holidays and exam periods. To arrange your campus visit, please start by scheduling a class visit two to three weeks before you plan to arrive. Campus maps and a list of classes you may attend also are available in the Admissions Office in Gold Hall, B201.
Fellowship support is available to exceptional admitted applicants. Last year, approximately one-third of the incoming class received fellowships. The MBA Admissions Office makes these award decisions and all admitted students are automatically considered for fellowships. No separate application is needed. Second-year students also are offered fellowships based on academic performance and leadership activities in the first year. In addition, private firms, foundations, and individuals support more than 40 fellowships. Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant positions also can significantly supplement student budgets, along with student loans. For more information, contact the UCLA Anderson Financial Aid office at (310) 825-2746 or 825-0629, or go to email@example.com.
Candidates may apply to only one UCLA Anderson MBA program in a given year. There are separate application processes for each program.
Applications are completed and submitted online only. The application fee is $200.
You can send an e-mail to email@example.com with your specific questions, and we will reply to you promptly. Although we cannot accommodate individual counseling sessions, we encourage you to attend a Group Information Session (GIS) or Information Evening where you can discuss your questions with admissions representatives. To sign up for GIS, go to: mba.anderson.ucla.edu/events. In addition, every fall UCLA Anderson holds informational events on campus and around the world where you will have the opportunity to speak with admissions counselors, current students, and alumni. Please visit our Admissions website to sign up for an event.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) has accepted a permanent seat on Entertainment Services and Technology Association's (ESTA) new Certification Council. The AMPTP is the primary trade association with respect to labor issues in the motion picture and television industry. AMPTP negotiates 80 industry-wide collective bargaining agreements that cover actors, craftpersons, directors, musicians, technicians, and writers--virtually all of the people who work on theatrical motion pictures and television programs. The Certification Council is the governing body which is managing the development and implementation of a new industry-wide certification program for entertainment technology technicians.
AMPTP has appointed Dennis King, AMPTP vice president, as their representative to the Council. King is the Chair of the Motion Picture Industry-Wide Labor Management Safety Committee, serves as a management member on the Cal-OSHA State Advisory Committee, is a Registered Safety Professional and is a member of NFPA 140, the American Society of Safety Engineers, and the State of California Fireworks Committee.
ESTA President Mike Wood says, "We are delighted to welcome AMPTP to the Certification Council. They bring with them representation of a unique and important part of our industry, and their input and perspective will be invaluable."
The ESTA Certification Council members represent the diversity of the entertainment industry. The members are key leaders in entertainment business, labor, facilities, associations, and academia. The members include CITT, IATSE, IAAM, TEA, and USITT. With the help of these members, the key areas of electrical skills and rigging skills have been identified for initial development in the Entertainment Technician Certification Program.

If we hadn't seen it, we might not have believed it. Any of it.
The Cardinals were down by three runs in the eighth inning. You don't make up three runs against the Texas Rangers in the last two innings.
The Cardinals made up three runs against the Rangers; one in the eighth, and two in the ninth on David Freese's two-out, two-strike double over Nelson Cruz's head in right field.
If you believe in momentum, you had to believe the Cardinals were heading toward an incredibly dramatic and unlikely Game 6 win, and thus a Game 7.
Baseball players don't give a jimmy-jack about momentum, though. Jason Motte, who'd pitched a hitless ninth for the Cardinals, returned to the mound in the 10th. He got Ian Kinsler on a pop to first base, but Elvis Andrus singled.
Small problem. Not a big problem. After all, Josh Hamilton was next and he's a good player and everything but has a sore groin or something and hadn't hit a home run since September. Literally, since a previous month.
It's a funny game, though. Motte threw a low fastball, right where Hamilton likes his fastballs, and he took a mighty rip that sent the fastball 406 feet, well over the fence in right field.
And just like that, the Rangers had another two-run lead.
Motte and his beard got out of the inning, but the Cardinals needed yet another miracle.
And they got one.
With ancient left-hander Darren Oliver taking over on the mound, Daniel Descalso lined a single into right field. Jon Jay followed with a pop fly down the left-field line that dropped for a single that will forever look fantastic in the box score.
That brought up the pitcher's spot, and Tony La Russa was out of hitters. Which was fine, because he wanted someone to bunt anyway. Pitcher Edwin Jackson got that job, and he popped a bunt ... Well, you gotta see that for yourself:
Yes, the shortstop made the play on a sacrifice bunt. Tim McCarver said he'd never seen that before, and he's been watching the big boys play baseball for more than half a century.
Out came Oliver. In came right-hander Scott Feldman (and his beard), with right-handed hitters Ryan Theriot and (gulp) Albert Pujols coming up next.
Feldman got ahead in the count against Theriot, and got him out on a grounder to third base. Descalso scored, but that was irrelevant.
Feldman didn't get ahead of Pujols, because Ron Washington ordered the intentional walk. Even though Lance Berkman lurked on deck.
Feldman got ahead in the count against Berkman. Then he threw Berkman a low fastball and Berkman drove it into right-center field for a single. Jon Jay scored without a throw.
Cardinals 9, Rangers 9 (!)
That's how the inning ended. And on we play, heading to the 11th inning of a World Series game the likes of which has probably never been seen before tonight.

Palestinian politics has bigger problems than these. Neither of the two governments is constitutionally legal: one has been dissolved, but continues to govern; the other is provisional, and should have organised elections a long time ago. But parliament is not completely paralysed: its
In theory the Legislative Council – which has 132 MPs, of whom 74 are from Hamas – has authority over both
In Ramallah, parliament does not meet. The government of Salam Fayyad set up its own special department for legislating, and President Mahmoud Abbas issues presidential decrees, which serve as laws. According to Reuters, 406 laws and presidential decrees have been produced in this way since June 2007 (1). Palestinian legal experts and members of the Legislative Council warn of the risk of a dictatorial regime as a result of the non-separation between legislative and executive powers. Officials respond that it is not possible to govern without legislating, and say the laws can be annulled when the crisis is over.
Things may be set to get a lot worse. The mandate of Abbas, who was elected in January 2005, runs out next January. Hamas has made it known that it will not recognise his presidency beyond that date. It says Palestinian basic law takes precedence over an electoral law adopted by the Legislative Council in 2005. According to that law, elections to the council and to the presidency should take place at the same time, which would mean Abbas' mandate being extended to January 2010. Meanwhile, the Palestine Liberation Organisation and Fatah have not even managed to hold their own internal elections.
When you strip away the legalistic jargon, the core message is the same: for most people, the role of the two governments comes down to the provision of basic services and the payment of salaries. It is only when people fear their salaries aren't going to be paid that they return to the question of the dual regime. Both Fatah and Hamas have shown they are only interested in clinging onto power. They do so selfishly, people here say, not caring about the growing divisions (this year
Hamas has shown itself to be no better than Fatah. Many Palestinians – even some from within the Fatah movement – voted for Hamas because they hoped it would act differently. But as one legal expert in Ramallah put it, Hamas is merely "Fatah with a beard". Those who thought it would be different complain of nepotism, corruption and impunity for armed groups and their leaders.
But even worse charges are levelled at the government in Ramallah: it acts as a subcontractor to the Israeli security service, and takes part in endless "peace talks", while Israeli settlement building carries on unabated. It gets its sense of legitimacy from western support, not from the people. The government in

Twenty or 30 years ago, Republicans had much more moderate views and were willing to compromise. There was little rudeness and hostility toward liberals. Most wouldn't have questioned a president's birthplace or religion.
Many Republicans were pro-choice, socially liberal and fiscally conservative. The word "abortion" never appeared in the Republican party platform until 1976. Religion did not show up until the 1990s. Many Republicans, including Richard Nixon, were environmentalists, not climate change and evolution deniers.
They supported cutting the size of government and certainly did not envision a government that would expand to interfere in people's sex lives, relationships and family size.
They did not hate taxes because they understood that the country needs to keep its roads and bridges from crumbling, finance the military, pay for education and libraries, police and firemen, provide help for the needy, fund science research, conserve resources and pay all the other costs of a civilized society. As president, Ronald Reagan raised taxes several times and no one went berserk.
People such as Olympia Snowe and Colin Powell were respected, moderate Republicans. Ill-mannered, anti-women's rights, anti- government loudmouths such as Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Allen West, Ted Cruz and Michelle Bachman would not have been tolerated because of their extreme right-wing views.
How did extremists hijack the party from all the remaining rational and educated Republicans? I wish the moderates would take it back, chuck the tea party, and get this country out of its dreadful political quagmire.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - Max loves basketball and going to church. Now, he needs a forever family to stick with him through the game of life.
The 10 year old boy is very active and loves sports. His favorite of them all is basketball.
"[I like to] play catch and sing," he said.
Max says he loves to sing Amazing Grace. Church is a big part of Max's life and enjoys participating in all the children's activities.
When it comes to school, Max does really well. His favorite subject is Language Arts. His least favorite is Math.
When Max grows up he would like to be basketball player, rapper or football player. Sounds like he already likes the spotlight!
"[I would like to] go to New York and maybe be rich and have a lot of video games," said Max.
He will need to continue counseling to help him transition from foster care into adoption. Despite spending a majority of his life in foster care, and enduring several disappointments, Max is resilient and eager to be adopted.
"I want to be in a family that has little kids and not big kids because sometimes the big kids are not good to hang out with," he said.
It is going to take a family that is willing to commit to him 100%. Max needs a forever family that can stick with him through the long haul and show him the gift of love.
If you would like to know more about Max call our Gift of Love hotline, toll-free, 1-888-kids-275.

Innovation Research Park @ ODU's first $22 million building officially opened yesterday with state and regional leaders praising the unique public-private partnership that brings together university intellectual capital, faculty and students with private-sector companies to pursue research, technology development and business-creation opportunities.
"Research and development already plays an important role in the economic success of this region, and it is critical that we go a step further to commercialize that R&D into products and services that can create new economic opportunities across the region. Innovation Research Park @ ODU will bring those two essential pieces together, connecting some of our top research minds with private sector partners," said Gov. Timothy Kaine, at an afternoon ribbon cutting ceremony with ODU President Roseann Runte.
One of only a few parks in the country located on the campus of its sponsoring higher education institution, Innovation Research Park @ ODU offers access to Old Dominion faculty and students, plus a full complement of business, cultural and social amenities nearby. The building at 4111 Monarch Way is a 100,000-square-foot, five-story Class "A" office/lab with a structural steel frame and a brick and glass veneer. The development project contributed an economic output of nearly $32 million dollars and resulted in 400 new jobs.
"At Old Dominion University, our forward focused thinking delivers real world results. No where is that more evident than Innovation Research Park @ ODU," said Runte. "With our partners, we have created a significant revitalization and development effort that will dramatically transform the university and improve the surrounding community for all residents. Additionally, the companies we attract will provide our students invaluable learning experiences and job opportunities on a scale never before possible."
Located in the 75-acre, mixed-use University Village, the research park has reserved sites for four buildings, two on Monarch Way between 41st and 43rd streets, one just south of 41st Street and a signature facility on Hampton Boulevard. Currently, the University Village includes restaurants, shops and student residences. A 42,000-square-foot bookstore, Springhill Suites by Marriott hotel and the new University Gallery, featuring an impressive 300-piece folk art collection, will open later in the year.
"Innovation Research Park @ ODU will become a hub for knowledge-led economic development not only for the City of Norfolk, but also for the region and the commonwealth," said Norfolk City Councilman Barclay Winn. "The opening of this park will certainly enhance Old Dominion University's reputation as an outstanding institution of higher learning."
The first building is developed and owned by Wexford Science + Technology, a national real estate investment and development firm based in Baltimore. It is designed by UJMN Architects + Designers of Philadelphia. Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, headquartered in Baltimore, oversaw construction of the building. GVA Advantis is the exclusive leasing agent and property manager.
"This is a unique public-private partnership with Old Dominion University," said James R. Berens, president of Wexford Science+Technology. "The location on campus and the amenities provided by The University Village enhance this building considerably. This is a very desirable site, and it is clearly attracting the attention of the companies ODU wishes to bring to the park."
The initial building is 77 percent occupied, with ODU research enterprise centers accounting for approximately 60 percent of the space. At the ceremony, Runte announced EVMS Health Services, a not-for-profit physician group that supports the mission and goals of the Eastern Virginia Medical School, will occupy the fifth floor with administrative offices.
Old Dominion offices and centers located in the building include the Office of Research, Research Foundation, Lean Manufacturer Institute, Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, Computational Intelligence and Machine Vision Laboratory, Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography, Center for Advanced Ship Repair and Maintenance, National Center for System of Systems Engineering, Virginia Applied Technology and Professional Development Center, CHROME and Office of Spatial and Cartographic Information.
Wexford Science + Technology, (www.wexfordequities.com) is a privately held real estate investment and development company that focuses on serving the real estate needs of science and technology based organizations. Headquartered in Baltimore, Wexford Science + Technology has projects in the contiguous United States and Hawaii, including partnerships with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, The Science Center (Philadelphia), Illinois Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania State University Hershey Medical Center.

In this section of the site, you will find the application form for the Diversity Course Requirement, which is a graduation requirement for all Loyola undergraduate students. To fulfill the requirement, students must take one course that has been designated a Diversity Course in the student's core, major, or electives. Students may take more than one diversity course.
A course receives "Diversity Requirement" designation when an individual faculty member develops or revises a specific version of a course in light of the Academic Senate's criteria, completes "Part One: For Faculty Submitting Courses," has his or her department chair complete "Part Two: For Chairs," submits the completed application form with course syllabus attached, and has the course approved by the Diversity Subcommittee. The submitting professor, department chair, and Office of Records receive notification of approval. Faculty teaching approved courses are requested to indicate the Diversity Course Designation in their course syllabi. Department chairs are charged with certifying that diversity course sections by the department are approved courses, which are indicated with a "D" in the section codes, as in "WR100D.01."
The Subcommittee on the Diversity Requirement accepts Diversity Course applications throughout the year and endeavors to process them promptly. Inquiries are always welcomed.
Applicants will find the following information useful in developing their applications:
Applicants should note the two parts of the application:
Both should be submitted together, along with the course syllabus and the narrative statement that explains how the diversity course designation requirements are met to Dr. Wendy Smith, UCC Chair, at email@example.com.
