The image is a screenshot from a video which shows a group of plain clothes officers beating into two Celtic fans.

Five Things We Learned From Last Night's Champions League : Groups E-H0
October 2, 2013 by Sean Charles
1) Arsenal's double-header against Borussia Dortmund will define their season.
In the spell from the 22nd October to the 10th November, Arsenal will play all of the Borussia Dortmund (twice), Chelsea (home), Liverpool (home) and Manchester United (away). The first will be hosting Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates, a poor start in that match and the confidence that currently illuminates North London could very easily be turned into 20 long days of misery for the Gunners. This period will be crucial to both their domestic and continental hopes.

Special: Top 11 Most Loyal Footballers20
August 4, 2013 by Sean Charles
For me, loyalty means more than just staying put at the same team for a whole career. For loyalty to be true, it has to be tested. And I see similar lists with the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Carles Puyol, Javier Zanetti, Paolo Maldini to name a few. Although they are/were great players, they played for some of the biggest teams on the planet and in turn won just about everything there is to win. They sacrificed very little at club level, it is difficult to see where each of them could've gone to have more stellar careers. And, as a result of this, I won't be including these types of players in the list as their loyalty never seemed to be truly tested. The players I chose are the ones I believe stuck by their club despite knowing it would mean losing out on something bigger, whether that be silverware or just the chance to be seen and remembered by a wider audience.

NAMT's Festival is the premiere industry event, which brings together theatre industry leaders to discover eight new musicals in 45-minute presentations. According to American Theatre Magazine, "It's an industry-only event, and it happens for only two days, but it makes a major impact in the world of musical theatre."
Heather Schmucker and Kevin Moriarty, Co-Chairs
The Festival is only open to theatre industry professionals and major donors to NAMT. We define an industry member as anyone currently working professionally in the theatre who can aid in the development of the shows or writers we present. If you have any questions about this policy, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
NAMT was honored to return to New World Stages for our 9th consecutive year to present this year's Festival.

It's always cold and nothing ever grows. A cloistered teen cellist must find a real live rose in order to thaw the frozen heart of the rebel punk next door. An eclectic score ranging from Broadway to classical to rock beats within this wickedly demented, post-apocalyptic fairy tale for grown-ups.
This will be the premiere of Bleeding Love, which was a finalist for the 2012 Richard Rodgers Award.
"The committee loved Bleeding Love's boldly theatrical setting, colorful characters and eclectic score. A truly unique piece, Bleeding Love manages to be compelling in its storytelling while also being utterly unique in its plot and tone."
"NAMT was an extraordinary experience that put Bleeding Love out into the world in the most high caliber way possible. From the NAMT staff, to the extraordinary cast, to the incredible exposure we got, the NAMT experience is like no other and has changed our lives as writers and the future of Bleeding Love."

A rousing band of repressed 17th-Century Englishmen, led by the radical Guy Fawkes, plot to bring their tyrannical monarch down with a bang! Inspired by the 1605 Gunpowder Treason Plot, Bonfire Night is the story of 13 Catholic radicals who conspire to blow up Parliament on Opening Day in an effort to kill King James and Britain's entire governing body.
Bonfire Night was presented in 2007 at The Robert Moss Theater at the Playwrights Horizons Theater School at New York University and had a concert reading in 2010 at New York Stage and Film at Vassar College.
"The combination of 17th-century British politics, contemporary design and modern music makes Bonfire Night a bold new musical, mixing complicated ideas about terrorism with very funny character-driven comedy."

Meeting an elephant can change a man's life. The Circus in Winter is based on the novel by Cathy Day, where legend and lore collide under the big-top filled with disheveled hustlers, death-defying acrobats and a dreamer named Wallace Porter searching for redemption and grace.
The Circus in Winter is the culmination of a three-year immersive learning journey that started at the Virginia Ball Center for Creative Inquiry at Ball State University. Fourteen students under the guidance of Beth Turcotte, Professor of Theatre, spent an entire semester writing and composing this musical inspired by the novel by Cathy Day. It premiered as a concert reading in May of 2010 with subsequent performances at the International Circus Hall of Fame in Peru, Indiana and Drury Lane Theatre, Chicago. In the fall of 2011, it was fully produced at BSU and selected for the American College Theater Festival. In the spring of 2012, The Circus in Winter won 11 awards at the ACTF/Kennedy Center Awards including Outstanding New Work.
"The Circus in Winter will introduce NAMT members and industry professionals to Ben Clark, a talented young writer and a new voice who has created a nuanced, moving and appealing score. Early in its development, The Circus in Winter tells a highly theatrical story with innovative production opportunities that captivated the committee."
"When I was an undergraduate student first conceiving how to make a musical stay afloat in development, my peers and I began looking into the new musical festival scene. In that range of opportunities, few compare to the NAMT Festival. The cast we were able to work with would not have come together if it weren't for the members of our team, assembled mostly by NAMT, who assisted us in making the jump to the big leagues, as it were. The venues for rehearsal and performance were top notch, and as far as getting people to see your show, the people who really need to be there show up because NAMT had the ability to market these readings with broad strategies and confidence in the work of their new artists."

Filled with tuneful pop songs, Nobody Loves You takes audiences on a hilarious behind-the-scenes ride through reality television and into real life. When Jeff, a philosophy grad student, joins a dating show to win back his ex, he breaks all the rules and tries to blow the game wide open… until he meets Jenny. In a world where every kiss is staged for the cameras, can two people find a real connection?
Nobody Loves You received a 2011 NAMT National Fund for New Musicals Project Development Grant and recently finished its world premiere production at The Old Globe, where it also received three developmental readings since 2010. In addition, it had staged readings at Goodspeed Musicals' Festival of New Artists in 2011 and the Cape Cod Theatre Project in 2008. It was part of Rhinebeck Writers Retreat in 2011.
"NAMT allowed us to expose our musical to a wide variety of industry professionals who never otherwise would have gotten the chance to see it on its feet and also created creative momentum for us in the push to get it ready to present."

A young beauty is brought to a sleep disorder clinic and soon all the patients find themselves sharing a fairy-tale dream. With beguiling characters, hypnotic lyrics and a rocking score, Sleeping Beauty Wakes delves into the magical space between dreaming and waking.
Sleeping Beauty Wakes premiered at Center Theatre Group/Deaf West in 2007 (winning Best World Premiere Musical and Best Musical Direction at the LA Ovation Awards), followed by a co-production between McCarter Theatre and La Jolla Playhouse in 2011.
"The Committee loved the accessible but surprising plot and the engaging, sophisticated score of Sleeping Beauty Wakes. The committee is excited to introduce this fresh and broadly appealing work to the industry."
"Once a show has been produced once (or twice) it can be difficult to find a new home for further development. NAMT has proven to be the ideal gateway to the theatre community at large, and has opened more doors for our show than I can count on two hands. We are now juggling possibilities, and we are thrilled that our show has a future."

Based on the Sundance Award-winning documentary, this heartwarming musical about a group of transgender friends living in rural Georgia is, at its core, a love story between their patriarch, Robert Eads, and newcomer Lola Cola. Through a unique folk and bluegrass-inspired score, the musical chronicles a year in the lives of this unique American family as they courageously defy the odds by simply remaining on the land to which they were born, reminding us that home is where we find comfort in our skin.
Southern Comfort was a recipient of a 2010 NAMT National Fund for New Musicals Writers Residency Grant for a reading at Playwrights Horizons and a 2011 Project Development Grant for a workshop production at CAP21. From 2010 to 2011, the show had three closed-room readings at CAP21 leading up to the workshop production in 2011, which garnered them critic picks from The New York Times, TimeOut NY and The Advocate, and a GLAAD Award for Best off-Off Broadway Production in 2012. The writers also received a Jonathan Larson Grant in 2012 for Southern Comfort.
"The down-home score and empathetic characters of Southern Comfort impressed the committee as a work that advances the art form of the musical. The musical's cast of transgendered characters are portrayed with sensitivity, warm humor and deep emotion."
"NAMT is such an important festival for any show...new or dusted off. Bringing all of the industry together in such a way to see the 'trailer' of your show is an experience you can't find anywhere else, especially when it's a challenge to get theatres, producers, to see and read your work. Your show can sometimes get lost on a desk piled high with scripts and demos, but NAMT brings your musical to the forefront and puts a spotlight on it. Thank you!"
-Julianne Wick Davis, Composer, Southern Comfort
"NAMT is, without a doubt, one of the best platforms on which to present a work of musical theater to the community. In two short and sweet days, our piece had been exposed to a vast network of producing entities that even years of alternative efforts would have been unable to rival! "

In an original mystery/romance set against the backdrop of an infamous New York tragedy, two couples from different eras—in 1911 a Jewish seamstress and her Italian foreman, in 2011 a graduate student and a free-spirited stranger—discover what it means to risk everything you believe for love.
Triangle was originally commissioned in 2005 by Williamstown Theatre Festival (Artistic Director Roger Rees) as part of their LeapFROG new works program and further developed at The O'Neill's 2006 National Music Theater Conference (directed by Robert Longbottom). Following a hiatus to pursue other projects, the authors returned to the piece in 2010 with a series of readings at CAP21 in New York and a Fall 2011 workshop at Northwestern University's American Musical Theatre Project. Triangle was seen this August at the New Works Festival at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto (directed by Meredith McDonough).
"We were moved by the sophisticated score and interlocking contemporary and historical stories of Triangle, which melds two love stories across time. With an entirely new take on its contemporary story from previous drafts, the writers are continuing to craft the plot and structure in ways that impressed the committee."
"In a world of new economics and seemingly less and less funding for the arts, NAMT is an incredibly important step in the development of new musicals, particularly from a writer's point of view. With limited resources and time at our disposal, NAMT provides one of the only legitimate ways of sharing our work with theaters and institutions that we would otherwise have little or no access to."

The 2014 Orientation Leader (OL) staff can't wait for you to arrive.
- A pair of OLs works with the same group of incoming students throughout orientation. This group is called your Scottish Clan.
- Each Scottish Clan is made of students from two different first year courses, so you'll have the opportunity to connect with people you will have in class throughout the semester, along with others.
- Your OLs will lead you through the entire orientation process, including getting to know campus, academic life, living at Mac, and connecting with other students.
- Your assigned OLs will contact you in August prior to your arrival on campus.
- Check out photos of the OL staff in the gallery below.
- Note that those whose names are marked with an asterisk (*) will not be OLs this fall.


text: One thing to look for as we head to the playoffs is the rhythm of the passing game. If we see Brady look, look, look then pass or throw it away, that's our offense. If he starts staring, or looking around like he's lost, we're in trouble. Sure, guys can get open and he can find them, (Gabriel, Jackson early season), but that's not our offense and it breaks down into a mess after a while. Some offenses have star receivers and QBs that look for them to get open. Our's doesn't. To change it would take at least a training camp. I think in the Viking's game they sold out to the run so much, they didn't try to throw the rhythm off our game and receivers easily ran routes where and when they were supposed to. The trick is running it against a team that knows us, (Jets, Miami). That's when Tom needs all his options available and precise. Thoughts?

Question about Marfan syndrome
- 0Nov 24, '01 by APinkstonI am a second year nursing student and currently in my Ped. rotation. I recently watched an educational video on Marfan syndrome. I learned that this disease is a genetic disorder, and if a patient is suspected of having the syndrome and there is a positive family history of it, the patient's risk of getting the disease is increased. I also learned about management of this syndrome. However, the video did not really specify exactly waht Marfan syndrome is. It was also difficult to understand. Has anybody had experience with caring for patients with Marfan syndrome? Can anybody explain what it is and certain compications associated with it? I would appeciate any inforamtion. Thank You
- 0Dec 9, '01 by Danielle4First, I do not have any experience of this so I am hoping others will respond to you as well.
I am a Biology Major, but I am contemplating changing to the nursing program. Do you like nursing school? I am afraid I won't make a good nurse so I am undecided about attending nursing school. I cannot think of anything to do with a biology degree and I love clinical care so there is my debate.
I do not know much about nursing, but I however have taken anatomy and physiology as I know a little bit about it.
Marfan's syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that has to do with bones. If you see people with long slender limbs this is one of the ways to identify marfan's syndrome.
It results from excessive cartilage at the epiphyseal plate (growth plate). As you know our bones grow by ossifying cartilage into bone at the epiphyseal plate which lengthens our bones. (This is how doctor's can tell us if we are going to grow anymore by our X-rays you can see the spaces on the x-ray -evidently they have more cartilage and space at these growth plates which results in marfan's.)
There are other diseases that are affected by this like the opposite of this would be achonddroplasia whith also results in the growth only in this case it grows slower and adults appear to have short stocky limbs.
I wish I could give you more information, but I am still learning as you are. If you would like to look it up though check out an anatomy book under skeletal or connective tissue disorders. Find out how the bones grow and are formed and you will understand these disorders better.
I hope that might help a little bit.
Good luck with your studies!

- 0Apr 7, '02 by kabarnesThere is a website www.childrenheartinstitute.org. It contains lay person information for parents about congenital heart defects. It has simplistic explanations, but I think it does a great job of explaining everything. There is a specific section on Marfan's. Check it out, as a nursing student I think it would be very helpful to review the sections on ASD, VSD, Tetrology of Fallot. I remember in nursing school I had sucha a hard time remember all of those. Good luck to you.
- 0Aug 8, '02 by manaAJ2I'm going to be a junior in a BSN program, but I do know a friend with Marfan syndrome. It is a syndrome of the connective tissue if i can remember right. Its categorized by very long limbs, and people with the disease are at a great risk of cardiac problems because the major vessels can become very thin. The person I know with it had major cardiac surgery when he was only 5 years old. I also know that the disorder can affect your eyesight too. Hope this helps
- 0Nov 4, '02 by CMERNMy youngest sister has marfans syndrome. During her childhood she would become fatigued during exercise, my mother labeled it as "laziness" signed my sister up for Basketball , swimming, bike riding, track.....my sister was extremely thin, long boned, and odd looking child with big blue eyes.... My sister was seemed sickly alot. A chiropractor female friend of my dads was so worried about her that the friend insisted my dad take her to a pediatrician . By this time my sister was 13, my parents were divorced (hence a retarded, continuing argument between mom and dad over insurance an dhealthcare cost) Any ways she was diagnosed... It is a cartiligenous defect,and more so a collegen defect, in that the parts of our joints, eyes,skin, heart valves etc... that can expand with exertion and return to normal size..(the aorta) do NOT for these people.. strenuos exercise is DANGEROUS for them... as they age because of the aorta they become short of breath,tired alot, and are always at risk for aortic anneurysm. My sister when diagnosed went under the care of an excellent Pediatric Cardiologist who followed her health into adulthood,and referred her to an excellent adult cardiologist.. Sis married, GOT PREGNANT to all our horror.( on purpose)at age 25. WEnt into V-tach at eight months..had a c-section... a healthy child. At age 30 she became so fatigued just with walking to the car... her cardiologist had followed her aorta size every 6 months.. (the aorta had enlarged) at age 30 she had aortic valve replacement..... She now has a 7 year old child, a wonderful husband teaches school, is envolved in her families life...and has more energy than ever before and very few boughts of colds and sickness..Clinically she was and is a prime example of MARFANS.....Mom thought she was lazy.... MOM is blessed now with a more healthy daughter and wonderful grandson. I have 4 children and am researching the genetics of Marfans....Last edit by CMERN on Nov 4, '02

Definitions for hz
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word hz
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Category: Physics
Princeton's WordNet
hertz, Hz, cycle per second, cycles/second, cps, cycle(noun)
the unit of frequency; one hertz has a periodic interval of one second
The HZ character encoding is an encoding of GB2312 that was formerly commonly used in email and USENET postings. It was designed in 1989 by Fung Fung Lee of Stanford University, and subsequently codified in 1995 into RFC 1843. The HZ encoding was invented to facilitate the use of Chinese characters through e-mail, which at that time only allowed 7-bit characters. Therefore, in lieu of standard ISO 2022 escape sequences or 8-bit characters, the HZ code uses only printable, 7-bit characters to represent Chinese characters. It was also popular in USENET networks, which in the late 1980s and early 1990s, generally did not allow transmission of 8-bit characters or escape characters.

Taylor Swift's Top 3 Boyfriends
Once the darling of country music, artist Taylor Swift has gone on to become one of the biggest recording artists in the world. Her high profile has helped her sell millions of records worldwide, in addition to propelling her celebrity status into the stratosphere. Along the way, Taylor has been covered as much for her music and her fashion choices as for her at times tumultuous relationships – often with similarly high profile celebrities. There's been a few of them, but Taylor's relationships are often the direct inspiration for her hit songs, including We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and Girl at Home.

Good morning ladies, not only is it Thursday, but its November 1st! Boy how the year has flown by! How are you today? What's on your mind?
|Thu, 11-01-2012 - 9:56am
I am sure just about everyone is having a Halloween hangover today, at least I know our house is. Jordyn went to a bonfire at one of the cheerleader's houses after her second cheerleading practice last night and didn't get home til 11 and she had a test today, so we'll see what kind of mood she's in today when she gets home. The rest of us were up and ready to go this morning. I have a meeting at 10:00 today, a nap at lunch planned, then home for dinner of chicken and dumplings, bath for the kids and I am hoping an early bedtime for me.
Have a great day!
|Thu, 11-01-2012 - 10:12am
Junk food hangover! I'm dragging. Poor DH had to leave at 4:30 to be to an out of state client site by 7. This morning is just whatever followed by grocery shopping, school, and laundry. The dog did not handle being alone yesterday well so I hesitate to leave her for a long period of time today.
I'm feeling pretty good about it being November. I felt like we spent all of August and September and some of October focused on the move. The past 2 weeks felt like we were back to living our life instead of organizing our lives. Our TX vacation is planned for December and most of the holiday shopping is done and wrapped. November should be relaxing.

Hi everyone. Tracy, how on earth did it get to be November? YIKES.
We have no school the rest of the week. We are going stir crazy. I feel like I"m wasting time since we have no damage and never lost power. At least today I have something to do. Our non-power-restored friends are coming to dinner (a couple, 4 kids 15-8, and their dog). So I went grocery shopping this morning and will spend the afternoon cooking. I'm making manicotti, meatballs, chicken parm and salad. I even picked up a half price Halloween decorated cookie cake for dessert. I'm looking forward to having company after the boredom of the week.
Kayleigh is giving her room a good cleaning and applying for scholarships. Ian is reading and studying and emailing his teachers to ask about work.
Hope you are all having a great day!

We had a long talk with both sets of parents (seperately) and neither of them want stuff. I'm glad that we aren't exchanging a list of stuff people don't really want or need but its stuff that makes for good gift giving. Gifts are suppose to be thoughtful and not a gimme list. We're trying to get back to that. My ILs are avid readers so we decided to pick out and send them books rather than a gift card to a book store. They never buy books in hardcover so anything rather new will be a safe bet. I found the perfect book for FIL ( DH mentioned he would like to read it too, so he's also getting a copy). We're sending them some of their favorite wine also.
I just ordered tickets today to take DH to see William Shatner in a one man show-DH will be thrilled- and its a nice night out for the both of us- and it is right after the holidays -so a pefect stocking stuffer.
I'm still waiting for inspiration to strike with my parents.

I know- this year has flown. Kristen will be done with her 1st semester in college in 6 weeks. We go to get her ( I think we do, and then the lady who lives an hour away will take them back) in 3 weeks.
Finally have a clue as to what Becca's doing in 3 weeks. They're playing in Covington at the Greenbriar resort (that's a really pretty hotel) on Friday the 17th. Leaving after school on the 16th. I'd love to see them, they are about 2 hours from Kristen's school and I'm assuming we have to drive there to get her on the 17th. We'll see.
Got food for dinner for the rest of the week. I think the family's going to mutiny if I make them eat pasta, mexican or chili one more time. But it's pasta tonight b/c Becca has music lessons and we won't be home until 6. Tomorrow they all want to go to the last home game, and I honestly don't feel like cleaning up a huge mess from dinner at 10pm. Even if it is a Friday night. So chili it is.
On the job front- I got an application for a city dispatcher job. 24 page application :P I sent out 20 some odd resumes over the last month, and have slowly been getting responses back from what I filled out. This is only an application, but now my foot's in the door :)
And I have to get a copy of my high school transcript (maybe all I need is my diploma- that would make life much easier). I know I could do it- it would mean crazy hours but the pay isn't bad at all. And if I get into the city system, one would think it would be that much easier to find other jobs within the city.
|Thu, 11-01-2012 - 5:28pm
|Thu, 11-01-2012 - 6:37pm
It's an overnight trip, it takes around 5 hours to get there from here.
And they are not staying at the Greenbriar LOL. Becca came home and said it was way out of the orchestra's price point.
We pass by it when we're driving out to the IL's. I would love to do a weekend with dh there someday. When the girls are gone.
