Which is exactly what happens when Aaliya is accepted into a one-year program at Australia's Goldcoast University, a school known for its acting program. Aaliya applied without telling either Abhay or her mother, Ayesha (veteran Bollywood star Sharmila Tagore)—a former actress who wants to spare her daughter the heartache she experienced—knowing full well that neither would want her to go. But when she's not only accepted but awarded a full scholarship, there's no stopping her.
Ayesha arranges for Aaliya to live with her sister, but Aaliya has other ideas and moves into a beachside house owned by Desi siblings Nadia and Cyrus (Shahana Goswami and Yudhishtr Urs). They also run their late parents' bar/tattoo parlor/surfboard-rental business, which attracts a steady stream of boisterous, if fundamentally friendly and well-behaved, 24-hour party people.
When Aaliya suggests to Abhay that they take a break from their daily phone calls, he assumes the worst and flies to Australia to win her back. He too moves into Cyrus and Nadia's party house, a situation that spawns complications galore as the longtime sweethearts break up but try to remain friends.
It would only take a once-over-lightly rewrite to turn Break ke Baad into a vehicle for Katherine Heigl and Justin Long, but that doesn't mean it would be a good idea. Yes, it's light, formulaic entertainment that doesn't miss a rom-com cliché. But while Aaliya and Abhay are educated, sophisticated children of the 21st century, they're also the products of a culture that prizes respect for tradition and obedience to parental authority. The conflict between personal desire and family expectations that now looks ridiculously contrived in Hollywood romantic comedies—because, let's face it, smart, ambitious, talented Americans in their 20s have few reservations about doing what they want and telling their meddling mamas to back off—have real weight in their Bollywood counterparts. And while Break ke Baad has none of the sumptuous production numbers that punctuate classic Bollywood movies—presumably because they'd be out of place in a thoroughly modern love story—it does feature catchy songs by Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani that clarify and reinforce the characters' roller-coaster emotions.

The Carl A. Fields Centre for Equality and Cultural Understanding, designed by Ann Beha Architects has opened at Princeton University. The project restores the Elm Club, an Italianate-style landmark constructed in 1890, and juxtaposes it with a contemporary addition, collectively creating spaces for new events and programs in conjunction with the Centre's academic and community services.
ABA's design creates new seminar and program rooms, a tutoring centre for community outreach programs, and program student offices, providing a mix of functions with facilities that all members of the University community can use. In the historic building, formal spaces can be opened to each other, creating settings for larger or smaller gatherings, as well as a resource room which doubles as the library. Connected to the restored building by a new light-filled lobby gallery, the new 464 sq m, 2-storey addition provides access to an outdoor terrace and events lawn; and a wood lined gathering space for several hundred, designed for music, lectures, conferences and special events.
The interior design incorporates crafts and artwork while introducing contemporary and flexible new elements. The carpets are an adaptation of the quilt and textile designs long produced by the Afro American women's artisan community in Alabama known as Gee's Bend, and the interior color palette was selected to respond to this vibrant color scheme. The new assembly room and lobby are lined with natural Douglas fir, with a pre-finished dark wood floor, suitable for dance and acoustically responsive; and the ceiling is paneled in slatted Douglas fir with acoustic batts to balance the room's performance characteristics.

Sure, Vince Vaughn has always looked like he's a perpetual insomniac and is on two hours of sleep, but this is getting a little ridiculous.
If we keep spreading rumours, maybe teams will talk about injuries
The philosophy is a simple one: just keeping spreading false information so that any information comes out. That strategy led to Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren having to bat away rumours that Chris Pronger suffered a second break in his hand.
"It seems people can throw anything at a wall and see if it sticks," said Holmgren, who's wise to our games.
Pronger participated in a full practice for the first time Monday morning since surgery to repair a broken bone in his right hand. He's making steady progress, and likely isn't far away, but the towering defenceman still won't be suiting up for Game 3.
Gasp! black-and-gold sticks!
Michael Cammalleri has a zen-like quality prior to games. He's so zen that he fights evil space invaders with laser beams.
So it's not surprising to hear that he's a little obsessive with his sticks. Bruce Arthur of the National Post tells the story of Cammalleri's black-and-gold sticks that he received from Easton just prior to the playoffs, and just before the Habs took on the Bruins.
"I was the first guy in the league to use it … I'm one of their contract guys, and [Zdeno] Chara is too, but he doesn't even have this yet," said Cammalleri after Montreal's pre-Game 3 morning skate. "And [Easton's representatives] were like, 'Do you want to use it?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'd love to. I'll use it.' And they said, 'If you switch to it, you can't switch back, because we don't want to see the first guy who went to it switch back.' I said 'No, I tried the stick' — I didn't see the graphics — 'I love it. Give me the stick, I'll use it.'
"And then it comes in black and yellow."
The walking wounded are skating in Montreal
So there's this Zdeno Chara guy, and he may or may not play tonight for the Bruins. That's kind of a big deal.
But Montreal is also dealing with a few bumps and bruises. Andrei Kostitsyn sat out Game 2 are being nailed with a Chara howitzer, and Jeff Halpern has been out with a lower-body injury. Both took the morning skate today and will be game-time decisions.
Breaking: Sidney Crosby will not play in Game 3 against Tampa Bay
Sure, Sidney Crosby is a megastar, and every breath he takes around a hockey rink is now newsworthy. But haven't we gone beyond the point where declaring him "out" for each game is necessary? Nope.
Madison Square Garden is overrated
The hallowed grounds of the Garden don't scare Bruce Boudreau.
"Well, the one thing, its reputation is far better than the actual building," the coach said. "I mean, it's nothing. The locker rooms are horrible. The benches are horrible. There's no room for anything. But the reputation of being in Madison Square Garden is what makes it famous. Also, our building's a lot louder, too. So I mean, they can say what they want, but it's not that loud in there."
We're sure the fine, polite people of New York will not see this is a challenge to their reputation and try to drop more curse words per second than Boudreau. Yep, everything should be nice and calm after Rangers fans are given two days to work themselves into a frenzy before Game 4 Wednesday night.
Friends in other sports are not permitted
Apparently there's criticism of the Lightning wearing Minnesota Twins paraphernalia lingering somewhere out there around the Interwebs. The alleged foul took place when a few Lightning players showed up in the opponent's attire when the Tampa Bay Rays hosted the Twins over the weekend. At the bottom of a notes column in the St. Petersberg Times the perpetrators were identified as Dwayne Roloson, Steve Downie, Mike Smith, and Steven Stamkos.
The four players were invited to the game by Twins first baseman Justin Morneau, a long-time friend of Roloson. As Raw Charge writes, there's a pot somewhere in Tampa Bay, and it called a kettle black.

Five best concerts this week: September 17-21
Gary Isaacs DeVotchKa performs with the Colorado Symphony this Thursday, September 21 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Welcome to another splendid week of music in the Mile High City. As usual, there are plenty of shows to choose from this week, from Kreator and Accept at the Gothic to DeVotchKa and the Airborne Toxic Event at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony, and we've got them all listed in our comprehensive concert calendar. Keep reading to see which five shows we think are the most worthy of your time this week.

- Q&A with Frank Turner
Formed in 1982, Kreator (due at the Gothic this Tuesday with Accept) quickly became one of the pioneers of thrash in Germany alongside Sodom and Destruction. The band's breakneck pace, precision and distorted vocals proved important to the development of death metal, a sound Kreator pursued in the '90s. Mille Petrozza mastered the art of the rapid melodic break amid blindingly swift and savage guitar riffing early on in the band's career. When Kreator returned to its thrash roots around the turn of the century, this signature sound found its rightful place in the music again. Featured as an influential band in the Get Thrashed documentary, Kreator -- like thrash in general -- has seen a bit of a resurgence in recent years. The group's latest record, 2012's Phantom Antichrist, is more melodic than some fans might like, but the live band has aged well.
Leann Mueller
While the great majority of P.O.D.'s contemporaries in the ill-conceived nu-metal/rap-rock movement of the mid to late '90s -- chagrin-inducing outfits like Limp Bizkit, a skeleton in oh-so-many closets -- have become fossilized relics, P.O.D. has outlasted them all. And while it hasn't thrived, necessarily, the San Diego-based act has certainly endured. This is largely thanks to the fact that, much like it did for kindred acts Rage Against the Machine and Downset, the fusion of metal and hip-hop always seemed organic rather than contrived for P.O.D. (due at this Uproar Festival date with Staind, Godsmack, Shinedown and more). What's more, the quartet wisely eschewed the hedonism that fueled a lot of that era's music; as a result, P.O.D.'s songs have always displayed a depth and earnestness that evaded those other bands, who seemed capable of conveying only anger or lust.

Recent developments at the frontiers of Chemistry will be unveiled at the University next week.
Now in its 11th year, the annual Cardiff Chemistry Conference is a forum for leading scientists from across the world to present the results of their ground-breaking research. Lectures cover the full spectrum of Chemistry as well as the interfaces between Chemistry and other scientific disciplines.
Invited scientists in the last two years have included two Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, reflecting the very high calibre of scientists to have supported this event. The unique format also allows young Cardiff scientists at the very early stages of their research careers to share the same platform as senior scientists from the world of Chemistry.
This year, the Cardiff Chemistry Conference will be held on 14 and 15 May 2012 in the Cardiff School of Chemistry, and invited speakers include: Prof. Peidong Yang (University of California Berkeley, USA), Prof. John Maier FRS (Basel, Switzerland), Prof. David Crich (Wayne State University, USA), Prof. Jeremy Hutson FRS (Durham), Prof. Clare Grey FRS (Cambridge) and Prof. David O'Hagan (St. Andrews). Their lectures will cover topics as diverse as new nanotechnology for energy conversion, the chemistry of the next generation of batteries and supercapacitors, enzyme chemistry, glycochemistry, and the unique fundamental properties of ultracold molecules.
In addition to the lectures given by eminent scientists from outside Cardiff, the conference includes lectures given by PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from the Cardiff School of Chemistry. Some of the School's very best early-career researchers will showcase their research achievements to an audience including international experts in the field.
Attendance is open to everyone and further details of the Cardiff Chemistry Conference 2012 can be found at: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/chemy/ccc2012.html .

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
28 Where be thy gods, which thou madest to thee? Rise they, and deliver thee in the time of thy torment; for after the number of thy cities were thy gods, thou Judah. (And then I shall say to them, Where be thy gods, which thou madest for thyselves? Let them rise up, and save thee in the time of thy torment; for the number of thy gods, O Judah, were as many as the number of thy cities.) | 28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah. |

Supplement Articles
By Bob LeFavi, PhD, CSCS | Jan 7, 2008
Because you've picked up this year's Buyer's Guide, I already know two things about you. First, you're not some pencil-neck who goes to the gym decked out in spandex, wearing a watch that takes your heart rate as you "glisten" with moisture on a hamster wheel, all the while pretending not to be watching Oprah. No, you train with weights; you work your butt off for muscle mass and strength, and you know that pain often comes with the territory.
Second, I also know you've been hearing a lot about the
best supplements
for packing on size, and I know you might be confused. It's difficult to make your way through all the hype to find those supplements that really help bring about growth. I'm with you on that; I want the best bang for my buck, too.
And the fact is, it's good you picked up this year's
Buyer's Guide
because you should be studying this stuff. The best bodybuilders I know make a habit of putting a lot of effort into finding the "how's" and "why's" of nutrition and supplementation. I mean, let's face it: How much time and energy do you spend working out? Tons, I know. And how much time and effort do you spend studying about nutrition and supplementation, or even preparing your foods and supplements? Probably not nearly as much.
And that's a mistake. If you do your job in the gym you've got to go home and do your job in the kitchen; prepare your dietary strategy with as much effort as you prepare your
training strategy
As a professor of sports nutrition I can tell you that the single biggest problem I see with bodybuilders is their lack of supplementation knowledge, and the supplement they mess up with more than any other is
, which is the single most important muscle-building ingredient you can take. Read on for a fair analysis of the state-of-the-knowledge on protein supplementation.
Calories and Grams
Okay, here's a brief review just to make sure we're all on the same page: Your body requires about 2,600 excess
to make a pound of muscle. Those extra calories have to come from somewhere, right? Right. And I am sure you know that protein, which is necessary for muscle-cell growth, has got to be primary in that formula. That's true as well. In fact, as a bodybuilder you likely are well aware of the research showing protein requirements for intensely training lifters to be in the neighborhood of 2.0 grams per kilogram bodyweight (nearly 1 gram per pound) in order to maintain positive nitrogen balance and faciliate growth.
I would guess that you also know about other facets of sports nutrition as well. For instance, you are probably familiar with the difference between monosaccharides and polysaccharides; to put it simply, simple sugars versus complex carbohydrates. All have 4 calories per gram, but with markedly different effects on the body. The same thing goes for another food substrate — fats. For example, saturated fat and fish oil are both 9 calories per gram, but each has different effects in terms of the way your body handles them.
he point is this: All calories, even from the same food substrate, are not created equally. Where they come from makes all the difference in the world.
Protein is no different. Sure, you say, you know all about complete and incomplete proteins and you try to choose complete proteins as much as possible. Good. But if you really want to maximize muscle gains you have got to catch up to where the science is. And science has taken us two steps further.
Step I: Protein Source
Without a doubt, the first major question you have to ask yourself is this: Where am I getting my protein from? This question goes well beyond the general issue of complete versus incomplete protein and delves into the structure of the protein itself.
, especially in the form of powdered supplements, can come from a variety of sources: egg (albumin), soy, milk (casein), and whey.
Chances are, you have tried most if not all of these supplements and have your own preferences (egg may have caused you gastrointestinal problems; casein may have been accompanied by too much sugar, etc.). However, from a scientific standpoint, this is what you should know: Regardless of the methods that are used to evaluate protein quality (Protein Efficiency Ratio, Net Protein Utilization, and Biological Value) whey protein is always rated at the top of the scale.
Why Whey?
You may know that whey protein is a high quality protein powder from cow's milk. You may also know that milk has two proteins — casein (approximately 80%) and whey (approximately 20%). What you may not know is that whey proteins naturally contain high amounts of branched-chain amino acids (
) and glutamic acid, which enhance muscle recovery and nitrogen balance, respectively.
comprise about one-third of the muscle tissue and up to 10% of the fuel required in muscle activity, which can lead to more intense and longer training sessions, and thus better gains. Because whey is more soluble than other protein sources it is a very fast-acting protein. For instance, if you consume a 25-gram serving of whey on an empty stomach, levels of blood amino acids peak roughly 60 minutes after ingestion and return to pre-meal levels within four hours. Due to this high rate of absorption, especially if taken during a period (post-exercise) where the body is working to repair muscle damage, whey is considered a very anabolic protein. In fact, simply consuming whey protein stimulates an increase in your body's protein synthesis (muscle-building capabilities) by nearly 70%. And not only that, unlike casein, whey ingestion does not bring about protein breakdown within the muscle.
Forget about the fact that studies show that whey is more effective than red meat in limiting body weight gain and guarding against increasing insulin sensitivity. Forget about the fact that whey proteins have been shown to reduce blood pressure. And forget about the fact that studies have found whey to be protective against the development of cancerous tumors in animals (probably due to its immune-promoting properties) and the bad cholesterol called low-density lipoprotein (probably due to the lactoferrin content in whey). Forget all that. While those are all great benefits, chances are that the bottom line for you is this: Whey is the most absorbable, fastest-acting, and anabolic of all proteins we have studied to date. That's why
whey protein
is a common ingredient in infant formula, in
protein supplements
for medical use, and, of course, for bodybuilding products.
Step II: Protein Production Process
Okay, so we are beyond general protein "completeness" and identifying the most anabolic of protein sources. Good, because science has brought us further. Hey, that you are eating high-quality protein (whey) is a given. We are now in a new stage of sports nutrition where the focus is not so much on the quality of the raw protein substance, but on the production process. Here is where protein quality can get turned up a notch — or not.
Filtering Out the Proteins
So, this is what you need to know: Whey protein is a co-product of the cheese making process. After fresh milk is approved for quality and is pasteurized, the casein ("curd") and a portion of the milk-fat are separated out to make cheese. What's left from this process is a liquified whey that then must go through a process to separate out the whey protein from the milk sugar (lactose) and other non-protein materials. This filtration process attempts to "isolate" the whey proteins. Without question, the most effective means of filtering is micro/ultra filtration (the micro filters are even smaller than the ultra filters and renders an even more pure protein product). The producer uses a series of filters made from polymers to separate out the whey protein from the liquid milk. This process yields a good result for you, the bodybuilder, because you end up with isolated whey that is fairly inexpensive (especially relative to the tremendous benefits it offers).
Now keep in mind that at this point you can find both whey
protein isolate
and whey
protein concentrate
. You always want to look for whey isolate; try to avoid whey concentrate. In the isolation process, whey can be isolated to various degrees. Whey isolate contains 90% or more protein. However, a whey concentrate powder contains less than 90% and often much less, even as little as 25% protein! (The rest is non-protein material, such as fat, ash, impurities and broken down carbohydrates.) That's right: You can take in 100 grams of whey concentrate and only get 30 grams of protein. Not only that, but ingestion of whey concentrate also seems to bring about gastrointestinal distress in some people.
Bottom line: Always choose whey isolate when you can.
Hydrolyzing the Proteins
When preparing whey proteins, concentrate or isolate, some manufacturers will use a technique known as "hydrolyzation". Here's what that means: The whey proteins are "pre-digested" through the action of enzymes that are added to the whey solution in order to convert the proteins into more highly-digestable peptides. Therefore, it is a good idea to include a hydrolyzed form of whey isolate for even greater effectiveness. Even more pertinent to a bodybuilder, a hydrolyzed whey isolate is a great way to get the maximum amount of amino acids into the bloodstream immediately after a workout. This way you have 1) the most anabolic protein, 2) with the highest percentage of protein molecules (isolate), and 3) pre-digested for quick absorption. That's the best way to put you in an anabolic state when your body needs it the most.
Ion Exchange Versus Cross-Flow Micro/Ultra Technology
Now at this point your eyes may be starting to glaze over, but there is one more important issue that you should know. There are two advanced means by which manufacturers separate the protein from the liquid. Yes, you already know about micro/ultra filtration, but there is more.
The "ion exchange" process uses chemical solvents and electron charges in an ion exchange tower to separate the whey protein from the liquid. The good news is that ion exchange does yield a very high percentage of whey protein. The bad news is that it seems to negatively affect biological value in the process. For instance, glycomacropeptide — an important health-promoting protein molecule — is often depleted from the solution in ion exchange.
Fortunately, technology has brought about a more advanced filtration system known as the "cross-flow micro/ultra" (CFM) technique. CFM uses a process that comes very close to the high percentage of protein from the ion exchange process, but does so without losing the important health-promoting whey components lost in ion exchange. Perhaps some of this benefit comes from the fact that the CFM technique does not use destructive chemicals to separate the whey protein from ash, lactose, and fat. Also helping preserve the biological value of the whey protein is CFM's use of low termperatures in its filtration. This ensures that the isolation of the whey proteins is done at a pH that is natural for the whey proteins. Therefore, vital molecules like glycomacropeptides and other potential growth factors are not discarded or destroyed. Moreover, CFM uses ceramic filters, which are indestructible. The end result is that the CFM process results in a higher protein subfraction content.
What you will find if you study the protein production process is that CFM maintains a significantly more complete protein profile — one of optimal balance, as found naturally in whey, even more than with ion exchange. With CFM, there are virtually no denatured proteins and important protein fractions (peptides) are kept intact. That gives you a protein you are ready to digest, absorb and use to create more muscle tissue.
The Final Word
When all is said and done, you want the highest quality protein you can get — the biggest bang for your buck — to ensure maximum muscle growth. So, here's the final word:
For packing on mass, you've got to do your job outside the gym just like you do your job in the gym. Put time and effort into finding the supplements that have maximal anabolic potential.
There is a tremendous difference between proteins when it comes to quality, digestability, absorbability, and effects on muscle tissue.
Science suggests that whey protein is the most anabolic of the protein sources available (and also has the least digestion problems).
Whey protein isolate has a higher percentage of protein than whey protein concentrate or ion exchange.
Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate can provide you with a pre-digested form of protein, which is advantageous for greater absorption, digestion and effectiveness.
Cross-Flow Micro/Ultra (CFM) filtration brings about the most denatured and growth-factor-rich protein available, while at the same time, maintaining a high protein content.
So, when you put all the new science and technology together, it tells you one thing clearly: Look for a top-quality cross-flow/micro-filtration whey protein isolate to get the best results from your supplementation regimen. You can even take it a step further by seeking out a hydrolyzed form of whey isolate for even greater absorption particularly for post workout. There is no question that either of these forms are the premier muscle-building proteins available on the market today. For now, this is the "whey" for future muscle mass gains.

The state of Texas has launched a program to prevent human trafficking at the next Super Bowl. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said the sports event is a magnet for such illegal activities.
"There is an organized effort to bring in children and women for the purpose of human trafficking and for the purpose of the sale of sex," he said at a recent meeting of the state's Human Trafficking Prevention Task Force.
Abbot said he believes the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas-Fort Worth could give traffickers many opportunities to capture victims or make money off the sex trade.
"The Super Bowl can have a tremendously positive economic impact on north Texas," he added. "We just want to ensure human traffickers don't share in the profits."
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated the Lone Star State may account for 25 percent of all human trafficking victims.

Of all the GameCube titles we were hoping to see resurrected on Wii, Mario Strikers was never one that really showed up on our radar. After all, the original wasn't hugely impressive, being an exhausting and largely skill-free exercise in button-mashing attrition. If it was an arcade sports game its simplicity might have worked in its favor, but who would pay $50 for something so frantic and random?
But it's back, polished up and given a few new Wii controls though essentially unchanged in terms of core gameplay, and with all the stadiums from the previous version returning with the word "classic" tacked on to them. So were we just completely wrong about it in the first place?
Mario Strikers is a fast and furious five-a-side game of soccer, stashed with power-ups and completely devoid of referees. The ball can never go out of play, as the pitch is surrounded by a force field, and the goalkeepers seem practically unbeatable, capable of saving any shot.
Well, almost any shot. You can pass the ball around for an entire match, working perfect scoring angles and peppering the goal with seemingly unstoppable drives that fizz through the air at ridiculous speeds. The goalie will save 99 out of 100 of them. The only way to beat them is to charge up a special move, which means holding the shoot button until the player automatically unleashes something completely unsporting. If you're close enough to the goal, you score every time.
So a match of Mario Strikers is a non-stop fight to buy enough time and space to charge up one of those special moves, while the opposition punches, kicks and red-shells like crazy to knock down the shooter and regain possession; which essentially makes Strikers a Smash Bros. with balls.
The only time Strikers so much as pauses for breath is when the invincible goalie has possession. As soon as he throws it back into play, the explosions begin afresh, the power-ups start flying, players get zapped on the force field like flies and the attritional struggle for shooting opportunities resumes.

National Register of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes districts, buildings, structures, objects, and sites for their significance in American history, archeology, architecture, engineering, or culture, and identifies them as worthy of preservation. The National Register is a program of the U. S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is administered at the State level by the Maryland Historical Trust.
The National Register currently comprises over 1300 listings in Maryland, including some 200 historic districts. Listed properties span a wide variety of types and periods, ranging from prehistoric archeological sites to buildings of the recent past, and include rural landscapes, urban and suburban neighborhoods, bridges, sailing vessels, and more.
To explore Maryland's NR properties, follow this link.
For more information on the National Register of Historic Places please contact Peter Kurtze, Administrator of Registration and Evaluation at (410) 514-7649.
How are properties listed?
National Register Criteria
To be eligible for the National Register, a property must demonstrate significance in terms of one or more of four broad criteria
- events or trends;
- association with individuals who made a demonstrable and lasting contribution;
- architectural merit;
- or the potential to yield information that will contribute to a better understanding of our past.
Significance is evaluated in a national, state, or local context.
In addition to demonstrating significance, a property must retain physical integrity to reflect that significance; it must not have been substantially altered since the period when the event occurred, or the person lived there.
- Architecturally significant properties must retain the majority of the features that characterize their type.
- Archeological sites must remain intact.
Information concerning the physical character and historical development of a property is presented in a specific format on a National Register nomination form. Nomination forms and instructions are available from MHT.
Determinations of Eligibility
For purposes of regulatory compliance, agencies may request a determination of eligibility (DOE). DOEs are only made in the course of compliance projects. However, MHT staff can offer an informal, preliminary opinion on a property's potential eligibility upon request. To find out how to determine whether a property may be a likely candidate for listing in the Register, contact Peter Kurtze.
The Review Process
- National Register nominations are submitted to MHT, where staff performs an initial review.
- Nominations are then scheduled for presentation to the Governor's Consulting Committee on the National Register (GCC), which meets three times a year.
- If the GCC's recommendation is favorable, and the State Historic Preservation Officer concurs, the nomination is forwarded to the National Register office of the National Park Service for final action.
Certain local governments in Maryland have been certified by NPS to participate in the National Register review process. [Link to CLG list] In these jurisdictions, the local Historic Preservation Commission and chief elected official are also charged with reviewing nominations and making recommendations concerning their eligibility for the National Register.
Benefits and Protections
Listing in the National Register honors the property by recognizing its importance to its community, State, or to the Nation, and confers a measure of protection from harm by Federal or State activities. [Link to Section 106 process] It does not, however, place any restrictions on the actions of private property owners.
Listing in the National Register is the effective threshold for eligibility for a variety of programs designed to assist in the preservation of significant properties, including Federal and State tax credits for certain types of rehabilitation work. Other financial incentives for preservation include grants and loans.
Donations of preservation easements on Register-listed properties may qualify for charitable tax deductions.
National Historic Landmarks
The National Historic Landmarks program is administered by the National Park Service; the Maryland Historical Trust plays an advisory role in the designation process. Properties designated National Historic Landmarks are have been determined by the Secretary of the Interior to have exceptional value in representing or illustrating an important theme in the history of the Nation as a whole.
Maryland Register of Historic Properties
Properties listed in the National Register, or determined eligible for the National Register by the Director of the Maryland Historical Trust, are included in the Maryland Register of Historic Properties.
The Maryland Register is a list of properties recognized by the State of Maryland for their significance in American history or culture. Properties listed in the Maryland Register are afforded certain regulatory protections, and are eligible for MHT grants and loans.

Coming off strong weekend tournament performances, Walker Valley and Bradley Central gathered at "The Stable" Tuesday evening for the first of their two District 5-AAA regular season battles, with the hosts galloping away with a clean sweep.
"To be able to sweep the freshmen, JV (junior varsity) and varsity matches is a big win for us," proclaimed Lady Mustang coach Judy Pruett. "We had seen Bradley in the preseason, but didn't play them all summer, so I wasn't sure how we'd do against them."
"We got behind some (in the varsity match), but were able to rally back," she said of the 25-18, 25-17, 25-23 victory to complete the trifecta. "The girls played together as a team. After the Cleveland match (where WV was up 2-0 before CHS rallied to win three straight games last week), we know better than to take anything for granted."
With a Silver Division title under their belt from the Early Bird Tournament in Knoxville over the weekend, including defeating Soddy-Daisy in the championship match, Walker Valley is now 6-5 overall on the season and 1-1 in district play. The Lady Mustangs will travel to Soddy Thursday evening before facing some tough competition in the Choo-Choo Classic this weekend.
Having taken the runner-up trophy in their own Bradley Bash, the Bearettes slip to 6-3 on the young campaign, including a 1-2 mark in 5-AAA play. Bradley will travel to East Hamilton Thursday, then also participate in the Choo-Choo Friday and Saturday.
With five lead changes and seven ties in the first 27 points, Tuesday night started as expected when the cross-county rivals get together.
Down 15-13, the Lady Mustangs put on their first strong rally of the night, galloping to a 13-3 run down the stretch. Junior Alexan Crittenden served up five straight winners, including a trio of aces, in the streak to give the hosts the 25-18 opening set win.
Bradley came out strong in the second game to put four of the first five points on the scoreboard, but once again the "Fillies" cantered back to knot the tally three times before taking the lead for good.
Walker Valley was the one up 15-13 in the middle game when a four-point run, including a pair of aces by junior Mikayla Lumpkin, pushed the advantage to seven points.
The Bearettes had a mini-spurt of their own, once again scoring four of five points to trim the deficit to three, but after Madison Pruett got the serve back with a dink, the Lady Mustang junior stepped behind the service line and finished out the game with three straight winners, including an ace.
Not willing to quit, Bradley came back out for the third set with a renewed determination and scored the first three points.
Walker Valley fought back to even the tally at 4-all before the teams jockeyed back-and-forth for the majority of the set with a half dozen lead changes and 11 ties.
Down 18-16, Bradley retook the edge after a 4-0 run behind the serves of sophomore Emma Kate Brown and still led at 21-19 before the "Fillies" hit a full gallop once again with a pair of Ashlyn Flock aces sparking five straight points by the hosts.
Despite facing match point, the Bearettes regained the serve and then got a block by junior Natalie Jennings to pull within a point at 24-23; however Bradley's 32nd unforced error of the evening set off the Lady Mustang celebration.
"We had way too many unforced errors," bemoaned Bearette coach Christie McElhaney. "You can't give away that many points and expect to win."
Using a nine-player rotation, Walker Valley was led by Madison Pruett with 21 digs, 14 service points, nine kills and a pair of aces. Junior Sara Wilson added 18 service points, 17 digs, a trio of kills and an ace.
Flock collected 20 digs, handed out 15 assists, plus downed five slams and served up an ace.
Senior Katelin Scoggins finished with 18 digs, 13 service points and a pair of kills, while Crittenden had a dozen digs, nine assists, seven kills and a trio of aces.
Junior Madison Russo garnered four digs and a trio of blocks, while Lumpkin had eight digs, a pair of blocks and two aces.
Junior Julia Gaither led the way for Bradley with 11 digs and five kills, while Jennings downed five slams and was in on 3.5 blocks.
Senior Lisa Duvall blasted seven kills, dug out a half dozen shots and blocked a pair. Chanler Grady, also a 12th-grader, posted nine digs, five assists and a pair of aces.
Sophomore Halle Hughes handed out seven helps, dug out four shots and served an ace, while junior Monica Johnson finished with five kills, three digs and a block.
The junior varsity and freshmen matches were just as close as the prime-time feature, with the Lady Mustang JV nipping the visitors 25-20, 26-24, while the WV freshmen had to go to a tie-breaker set to pull out the victory.

With sincerest apologies to Coyotes fans, who are in an especially difficult position.
Dale Hawerchuk was born in Toronto and played major junior in the QMJHL*. He was drafted by Winnipeg, where he set records for nine years, and then traded to Buffalo. He skated briefly in St. Louis, ended his playing career in Philadelphia, and now coaches in Barrie. And yet it is only in an arena in Arizona that his number 10 hangs, retired, over the ice.
There's something absurd and slightly grotesque about that banner, as if it represents in one swath of fabric the whole Kafkaesque enterprise that is the Coyotes, the entire labyrinthine edifice of white lies and half-truths that keep the dream no one ever actually dreamt of ice hockey in the desert tenuously alive. It is a monument to a history that didn't happen, a memory that no one has. It is, fundamentally, the glorification of a technicality. Nearly every other banner that hangs in the NHL gives someone the warm fuzzies; this one gives nearly everybody the heebie-jeebies.
Hawerchuk's banner also represents the furthest logical extreme of one of the most irrational and inhumane tenets of hockey metaphysics, the Relocated Team Doctrine. The Relocated Team Doctrine states, essentially, that a team can be moved from one city to another and still be considered the same team. It is the principle that allows us to suggest that the Calgary Flames are the self-same entity as the once Atlanta Flames, that the Carolina Hurricanes are the Hartford Whalers, and- if you really want to push it- that the Dallas Stars are the long-removed incarnation of the Oakland Seals. The Relocated Team Doctrine allows the Phoenix Coyotes to claim that they are the first-edition Winnipeg Jets, and therefore that all the history of those Jets is also theirs, including Hawerchuk, although he never so much as skated one regulation moment in either their city, their building, or their sweater.
Now, I would like to suggest that the Relocated Team Doctrine is, and I mean this in the kindest possible way, bullshit. Not only because it allows for depressing absurdities like the Hawerchuk banner, but because it is fundamentally illogical, and if allowed to stand actually undermines the already-fragile ontological foundations of team identity, and moreover perpetuates an unnecessary abuse of fan feelings in the one area of hockey where fan feeling has the most legitimate claim to authority. Or, to simplify, because it's A) wrong and B) painful.
Now, you may point out that the Relocated Team Doctrine is an official policy of the NHL, which is true: according the League, the franchise in Phoenix is the same one that was initially in Winnipeg. However, we all know that just because the NHL says something does not make it so, and in fact the NHL says a great many things that are not so when it suits their interests, and the Relocated Team Doctrine most definitely serves their interests. The Relocated Team Doctrine is what allows them to switch the product to different markets without admitting a complete failure. Surely, a team that has to move is a black eye for the League, but a team that simply ceased to exist would be two black eyes, a broken nose, and a kick in the nuts. Because of this Doctrine, the NHL can say that it has not 'lost' a franchise since WWII killed off the New York Americans. Every other failed team has been bought or merged elsewhere, and every time that happens, the NHL manages to avoid taking direct responsibility for an unjustified or unstable overexpansion.
More serious than the NHL's official position, though, is the aggregate opinion of most of the historians and chroniclers of the game, the vast majority of whom support the Relocated Team Doctrine on genealogical grounds. In this version, a team is comprised of things and what is most important in defining a franchise's 'franchiseness' is those things, or the at least the series of causal relationships that link a sequence of things through history. If the stuff of Winnipeg is put in Phoenix, than the team has moved to Phoenix.
The problem with this historicist justification for the Relocated Team Doctrine is that it conflicts with an even more deeply- and widely-held tenet of hockey metaphysics, the Stationary Team Doctrine. The Stationary Team Doctrine is the sports solution to the problem of the fundamental instability of teams. Sports franchises exist in a state of constant flux, constantly drafting new players and retiring old ones and trading them in the middle, hiring and firing coaches and GMs, redesigning jerseys, building new arenas. A fan in the course of a lifetime will see their team reconstituted a dozen times in a dozen different ways. They'll cheer for easily a hundred different players in four different sweaters in two different buildings. And every single fan, at some point, is going to be faced with an incarnation of the team that seems so depressingly, perversely, miserably contrary to everything the franchise once was that they will start to ask themselves, "Is this even my team anymore? Is this even the same thing I grew up with/fell in love with/bandwagoned onto when they were good?"
The solution to this is (like the Japanese answer to the paradox of Theseus' ship) to assert that the essence of the team is in its form and its function rather than its substance. A team is not what it is but what it does, defined not by the specific people or buildings or shirts that it uses but by its position in a system of social relations. And in the case of a team, that position is inextricably and fundamentally linked to a place. There is a reason that we flock so readily to terms like 'Leafs Nation', or in my case 'Habistan', to describe the culture of a fanbase that forms in a place around a team. Of all other human phenomena, team loyalty most closely resembles nationalism writ small. For fans, the team is an expression of a bond that they feel with each other and with their shared home. That bond is what makes the team itself no matter how frequently or dramatically its component parts change.
The Relocated Team Doctrine, however, contends that it is not the social relations that matter but simply the physical stuff of the team- if you send all the players, bags, and money to another place, you've sent the team there. This is absurd on its face. Players, bags, and money skitter around the continent like gerbils in a Habitrail without carrying anything of their erstwhile team with them. The Leafs are not mystically 1/10th Canadiens just because they have a few players who were drafted as Canadiens, and nobody would ever suggest such a thing. Yet just because Winnipeg once sent a bunch of players to Phoenix, the Coyotes now get to claim the legacy of the old Jets as their own in perpetuity.
The legacy does not belong to the players. It does not belong to the League. It does not belong to any ownership group. It belongs, like any history, to the place it happened. It belongs, like any memory, to the people it happened to. Saying that the Jets moved to Phoenix is pleasant lie, like telling the children that Mittens went to live on a farm in the next county. The truth is that the Jets died and the NHL used the corpse as fertilizer for an ambitious hockey-terraforming project, which eventually produced an entirely different team, and the two are no more equivalent to each other than a moose is equivalent to a tumbleweed. The Coyotes have no claim to the identity of the old Jets save a technicality. The current team in Winnipeg has slipped so readily and easily into the social role of the old Jets, has melded so well with the memories and attachments of the fans, that it has a far better claim to being the same team, the authentic heir to the team that was lost.
The Coyotes owe Winnipeg a banner, I think.
*This post originally said that Hawerchuk played junior in Montreal; in fact, he played for Cornwall, which was then a part of the Q. Apologies for the error.

Israel Discount Bank Ltd. (DSCT) dropped to the lowest level in three years after MSCI Inc. (MSCI:US) said Israel's third largest bank by assets will be removed from the index provider's Global Standard Indices.
The shares fell 3.8 percent to 4.425 shekels, the lowest level since May 2009, at 11:12 a.m. in Tel Aviv.
The decline "may be linked to the announcement that the bank shares will be deleted from the MSCI Israel Index," said Zach Herzog, head of international sales at Psagot Investment House Ltd. in Tel Aviv said by phone today.
MSCI said today it will remove Israel Discount Bank, Cellcom Israel Ltd. (CEL:US) and Partner Communications Co. from the MSCI Israel Index as of close May 31.

WASHINGTON, December 4, 2013 — Count me in as one of the rare Republicans who was happy to see Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hit the nuclear option, eliminating the possibility of a filibuster for presidential appointments requiring Senate approval.
A wave of Republican officials and conservative pundits have condemned this move as a blow to democracy. They have highlighted the abject hypocrisy of the Democrats who are now celebrating an end to the filibuster after decrying Republican threats to do the same when the GOP controlled the Senate.
SEE RELATED: Senate Republicans have one option after Dems limit filibuster
Then-Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama condemned the threatened Republican power grab that would eliminate the need for 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate. But the most over the top remarks were those of Senator Joseph Biden, who labeled the Republican effort a violation of the Senate's rules:
"Getting rid of the filibuster has long-term consequences. There's one thing I've learned in my years here. Once you change the rules and surrender the Senate's institutional power, you never get it back. And we're about to break the rules to change the rules. I don't want to hear about fair play from my friends. Under our rules, you're required to get a two-thirds vote … I mean 60 votes to change the rules … you cannot change the Senate rules by a pure majority vote … This is what's really going on here; the majority doesn't want to hear what others have to say even if it's the truth… The nuclear option abandons America's sense of fair play … I say to my friends on the Republican side, you may own the field right now, but you won't own it forever. I pray God, when the Democrats take back control, we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing."
Now that the Democrats have control, they've suddenly found religion: This is a desperately needed reform. It's easy to see how elected officials, concerned only about their own self-preservation and power, would flip-flop on this issue depending on who's in and who's out.
But rather than asking which side is the more hypocritical, we might ask why we ever had a filibuster in the first place. Before we are Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans, and we must all come to the conclusion that it is ridiculous to define a majority as being 60 percent instead of 50.1 percent. Super majorities are sometimes required, as when enacting constitutional amendments or piercing tax or debt caps on the local level. But Senate rules have required super majorities to get anything passed.
SEE RELATED: Nuclear games: Harry Reid unites the GOP, declares war
Why should we allow a minority to thwart the will of the majority? The safeguards James Madison embedded in our Constitution already provide protections to the minority. There is no need to pass rules that create a permanent gridlock within our democracy by allowing a small minority to become the tail that wags the dog.
It would be natural for Republicans to oppose this rule change since the previous rules kept the Obama administration from placing more far-left jurists on the federal courts. But the reality is that the nation voted for a Democratic president who has a right to make his appointments, just as a Republican would.
If the Republicans take control of the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016, why would they want to be stymied from modifying ObamaCare by a minority of Democrats in the Senate? Once the people have spoken through the electoral process, let their representatives legislate. Minority rights have to be protected, but not at the expense of creating a perpetual standstill in Washington.
So to Senator Reid and his Democratic colleagues: Don't just stop at repealing the filibuster for presidential appointments. Go all the way and take this dastardly procedure away once and for all. While your motives may be totally partisan and disingenuous, the goal is worthwhile nevertheless. And, by the way, your actions may indeed come back to bite you on the bottom before you know it.

Not Again! 12 Rap Album Sequels That Should Have Never Happened
The Artist: Method Man & Redman
The Original: 1999's Blackout!
The Sequel: 2009's Blackout! 2
The Review: To Meth and Red's credit, Blackout! 2 actually wasn't all that bad. Their biggest problem? They released it about eight years too late. By the time this sequel dropped, all the duo's original fans have graduated high school, graduated college, gotten a full-time job, gotten married and...well, basically, they'd stopped smoking weed in their parents' basement and bumping stoner jams. And if those guys weren't listening anymore, well, did the world really need another Meth and Red album? Probably not.

Greetings, We are renovating our kitchen and need to make a couple of important decisions. Perhaps some readers could offer some advice. 1) We would like to have two ovens. What is better: Gas range/oven combo + one electric wall oven or Gas cooktop with 2 electric wall ovens. I think the cooktop + 2 wall ovens would look more elegant, but some people have advised that it's better to have a gas oven in the house as well because it cooks moister and this is what professionals prefer. Is it true that electric ovens will do a poor job cooking roast chickens, etc? Do people with electric ovens regret not having a gas oven? 2) We cannot afford any high-end (Viking, Thermador, Wolf) brands. We were thinking of something more middle-range. Right now we're leaning toward Kitchen-Aid Architect II series electric oven(s). If we go for a sole cooktop we may be able to get a deal on a Dacor which looks great, but I have read bad things online about reliability. Anyone have experience? Any other recommended cooktops? We would prefer a slide-in gas range but most of the ones in our price range we have seen aren't the most attractive. Does anyone have any experience with the Electrolux range or Frigidaire? Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

I wonder why noone makes a cheaper tall cd fridge. For that matter, I wonder why noone makes a cd fridge that's really cd (other than the expensive built-in ones). |
I prefer the configuration of a rangetop(vs cooktop) and two separate ovens. You can pick out the best component for you on each. On oven if one part goes down you are not stuck replacing two components. If one part of a double oven fails you may lose both. You can also put your ovens a a specific height. I am stuck replacing my range (2008)now because of a problem with the oven that will be very expensive to attempt to fix and no assurance that it can be fixed. It is a common misconception that gas is moist heat. This comes from the idea that water is a product of combustion and is in the oven cavity. Gas ovens have more ventilation so that the moisture and that produced by the food is lost so the oven cavity is dry.. Gas is often used commercially though because it is cheaper. They will have steam injectors if they need to for bread. Before you buy any oven understand all the differences between gas and electric and convection with and without a third element. There is a lot written if you will enter "gas electric ovens" in the search box at the bottom on the front page of this forum. With electric you can have a drying effect with convection that you have with gas or "moist" with convection off. You can bake with either and have a reasonable result. Theoretically, you will get that the top end of performance(even heat throughout, ability to direct heat and more control of humidty) with electric that has elements and fan(s) controlled by computer boards. Others don't want the hassle of the boards and are happy with just the fan-on and off. Not every oven that has the bells and whistles is that great either. I have an Electrolux wall oven and Wolf DF range. Both have had issues with the blue enamel chipping. No recent complaints on the Electrolux but there are problems with the Wolf products still. Both have great performance though and the Elux is a lot cheaper. If you want to avoid the blue enamel, deegaux posted that this link below is a rebadged Electrolux. It has dual fans and you can get it on sale. With computer boards and current manufacturing standards I would get the longest extended warranty you can get. I don't like Sears but would have to consider this if my current wall oven goes out. Any brand you are considering search it on this forum. I did use a Frigidaire all electric range w/a convection fan for about a week a couple of weeks ago and was impressed with how even it baked with two half sheets in and the convection fan turned on. It was less than a year old but I couldn't see the model number anywhere. edit- You may wish to consider an induction cooktop-many love them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: rebadged Electrolux
