The Mall of America, which opened in Bloomington in 1992, has also stolen some of downtown's glamour. While it didn't sound the death knell for downtown as some had feared, it did coincide with a steady exodus of national chains that has continued for 15 years.
The vacancy rate for retail space downtown last year was 19.4 percent, down slightly from 2006. But that follows a steady increase over several years, according to figures compiled by Bloomington-based United Properties. In 2000, the rate for downtown space was just 10.5 percent.
That contrasts with the Twin Cities overall, which had a retail vacancy rate of 6.9 percent last year, about the same as in 2001, United said.
Stefanie Meyer , United vice president for retail leasing, said the dip in downtown vacancies last year was caused by a sprinkling of new arrivals, including Len Druskin and Brooks Brothers, which left the IDS Center for the Mall of America in 1992 but opened a City Center store.
But those openings have only made up some of the ground lost in recent years from store closings at City Center, Gaviidae and Block E. The 2005 closing of the TJ Maxx store on the lower level of the IDS Center put 60,000 square feet of space on the market that still hasn't been filled.
IDS general manager Jim Durda said there have been discussions with some retailers, including Best Buy, about leasing some of the former TJ Maxx store. He declined to comment on speculation that Ann Taylor will relocate from Gaviidae Common to the Williams-Sonoma space.
Retail downtown has evolved from destination shopping to stores that serve people who work and live downtown. Developments in the pipeline largely are geared to residents. An apartment and retail complex proposed for 222 Hennepin Av. will have a Whole Foods Market. Zenith, a condominium complex under construction near the new Guthrie Theater, has leased its first floor to a health clinic.
Some of the biggest progress downtown in recent years has come from new bars and restaurants, including Fogo de Chão and restaurants in and near the new Guthrie, and new hotels including the Chambers and Westin Minneapolis.
Nightlife usually plays a bigger role than stores for people moving downtown, said Barbara Brin, a Coldwell Banker Burnet agent who has sold condos in several downtown developments. "The average person is not going to care whether they live five blocks from a Crate & Barrel," she said.
What could the future hold?
Dreams of Nordstrom dance in the heads of city leaders and property managers. Macy's Guzzetta, who helped spark a renaissance in Washington, D.C., retail while CEO of Hecht's, continues to woo the upscale retailer even as Nordstrom makes plans to open at Minnetonka's Ridgedale Center.
City officials are trying to welcome stores, such as Best Buy, more used to building in the suburbs. "We're saying, big box is welcome," said Mike Christenson, the city's economic development director. "What does it look like? Target. It's got glass on the street, it's attractive, the parking lot's busy, the store's busy."
Ann Wimmer, who ran her own consulting firm and has worked at Gabberts and Nordstrom, came to the Downtown Council in November with the sole purpose of working with building owners and merchants to find the right stores for the right location.
Her first order of business: Keep momentum alive on Hennepin Avenue by creating an arts hub sprinkled with complementary retail. She's not overly concerned by the recent departures. "Changes are natural in retail," she said. "We don't need to get overtaken with fear." firstname.lastname@example.com • email@example.com • 612-673-1723

Sounds yummy! I just came across this mac-n-cheese slow cooker recipe I am eager to try
August 29, 2011 | Story by: Lindsey Chester | Categories: Featured, Food, Recipes
Recipe by Lindsey Chester. Photo by MegaBeth.
Cary, NC – If you're like me, the only macaroni and cheese you've ever made came from a box and involved an orange powder. But I was inspired this week to make it from scratch – I was surprised just how easy (and cheap!) this dish was to make.
I shop at Aldi often- it is the best bargain grocer in Cary – and in the pasta aisle I picked up a 32 oz. box of macaroni, and on the back was a recipe for "Easy Baked Macaroni & Cheese". I know both my daughters like mac & cheese, so I thought, "Why not?"
The ingredients listed were items I already had in my pantry: shredded cheddar cheese, milk, butter, bread crumbs and macaroni; plus flour, salt and pepper. The box called for only 8 oz. of macaroni, but the box was bigger, so I did some fuzzy math and increased the recipe. It came out awesome – and was plenty to feed us twice and a lunch or two.
You'll need about an hour, so make sure you have the time.
To Make:
This recipe is a keeper and this will become my "Go To" recipe for a crowd of hungry teens. If you want some variety, try adding diced ham or peas for a more complete meal.

Sounds yummy! I just came across this mac-n-cheese slow cooker recipe I am eager to try
This recipe is a winner…made it by chance as I looked at the Reggano box. I enhanced with garlic powder, omitted breadcrumbs, topped with parmesan, and halved the cheese sauce ingredients to the 32 oz of pasta…I enhanced with small chunks of sharp cheddar after mixing the sauce and macaroni together. This was a WINNER!!!

Is Iraq a Fourth Generation War?
William S. Lind, Director of the Center for Cultural Conservatism, writing on the website of the Free Congress Foundation (Dec. 2003):
Will Saddam's capture mark a turning point in the war in Iraq? Don't count on it. Few resistance fighters have been fighting for Saddam personally. Saddam's capture may lead to a fractioning of the Baath Party, which would move us further toward a Fourth Generation situation where no one can recreate the state. It may also tell the Shiites that they no longer need America to protect them from Saddam, giving them more options in their struggle for free elections.
If the U.S. Army used the capture of Saddam to announce the end of tactics that enrage ordinary Iraqis and drive them toward active resistance, it might buy us a bit of de-escalation. But I don't think we'll that be smart. When it comes to Fourth Generation war, it seems nobody in the American military gets it.
Recently, a faculty member at the National Defense University wrote to Marine Corps General Mattis, commander of I MAR DIV, to ask his views on the importance of reading military history. Mattis responded with an eloquent defense of taking time to read history, one that should go up on the wall at all of our military schools. "Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation," Mattis said. "It doesn't give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead."
Still, even such a capable and well-bread commander as General Mattis seems to miss the point about Fourth Generation warfare. He said in his missive, "Ultimately, a real understanding of history means that we face NOTHING new under the sun. For all the '4th Generation of War' intellectuals running around today saying that the nature of war has fundamentally changed, the tactics are wholly new, etc., I must respectfully say...'Not really"...
Well, that isn't quite what we Fourth Generation intellectuals are saying. On the contrary, we have pointed out over and over that the 4th Generation is not novel but a return, specifically a return to the way war worked before the rise of the state. Now, as then, many different entities, not just governments of states, will wage war. They will wage war for many different reasons, not just "the extension of politics by other means." And they will use many different tools to fight war, not restricting themselves to what we recognize as military forces. When I am asked to recommend a good book describing what a Fourth Generation world will be like, I usually suggest Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century.
Nor are we saying that Fourth Generation tactics are new. On the contrary, many of the tactics Fourth Generation opponents use are standard guerilla tactics. Others, including much of what we call "terrorism," are classic Arab light cavalry warfare carried out with modern technology at the operational and strategic, not just tactical, levels.

text: The Alura wiki last edited by ScarletWitchFever on 02/13/14 05:59PM View full history OriginAlura In-Zee was born on the planet Krypton while it was still alive and prosperous. She became part of the science guild, and for many years was a perfect scientist, learning to forgo all emotions as simpleAlura and Zor-Elprimitive instincts and to observe the world in a pure mathematical and physical fashion. She could not, however, escape falling in love with a young artist called Zor-El. Zor-El taught her to watch the world as more than just mathematical equations and to see the beauty in things. They soon married and since then Zor-El was the voice of reason and love in head. They were soon blessed with a daughter: Kara Zor-El.HistoryBrainiac AttacksWanting more knowledge to assimilate, the Coluan known as Brainiac invaded the Krypton and plundered the planet of its collective knowledge. He used his advanced science to shrink and bottle the entire city of Kandor; adding the Kryptonian metropolis as another specimen to his vast collection of alien cities. To carry out this plan, Brainiac ordered hundreds of his robots planet-side to prepare the city for abduction. These robots mercilessly killed any resistance, protecting themselves from attack with self-generating force fields.Following the taking of Kandor, the people of Krypton ignored the warnings of Jor-El that the planet was unstable and facing destruction. Jor-El's warnings were dismissed by almost all of Krypton, however Zor-El believed his brother and set into motion his own plans for survival. Zor-El and his wife Alura experimented on one of the robots destroyed by General Zod's troops. They managed to deconstruct Brainiac's force field technology sufficiently to create a protective dome over their home, Argo City . Unfortunately, Alura and Zor-El did not have time enough to master this technology and protect all of Krypton. When Krypton exploded, Argo City was protected from the blast, and remained intact floating aimlessly in space for many months.Alura and her husband began work on an evacuation plan to lead the remaining Kryptonians to Earth where they would be reunited with their nephew, Kal-El. Before this plan could be enacted Alura's daughter spotted a ship outside of the dome. Brainiac had sensed his technology in use and discovered the Kryptonian refugees . Knowing that Brainiac would not spare their city, Zor-El and Alura placed their daughter, Kara Zor-El, in the only escape rocket that had been ready for service. They sent her to Earth, instructing her to find and protect her infant cousin, Kal-El. As Kara escaped, the villainous Brainiac once again invaded a Kryptonian city. His troops assimilated any additional people and information that contained knowledge that had not been learned from Kandor . Those Kryptonians who Brainiac viewed as "redundant" were slaughtered. Zor-El and Alura were transferred to the bottled city of Kandor and have remained there as prisoners of Brainiac for many years.Released from BrainiacEventually, Brainiac made his way to Earth, and there found the being who could defeat him: Kal-El, now known as Superman. Superman defeated Brainiac and freed Kandor, releasing the city from it's bottle near his fortress of Solitude. Alura and Zor-El were able to reunite with their daughter and nephew, and it seemed that the Kryptonians would prosper anew. Now a hundred thousand Krytonians lived on Earth alongside humans. It wouldn't be long before xenophobia kicked in. Kandor was soon attacked by a band of Supervillains designed to fight Superman, and in the battle Zor-El was killed by the supervillain Reactron.Zor-El was given a grand burial at Kandor, and without him Alura grew distant and bitter, and revengeful. Now the bitter Alura was in command of Kandor, and she started preparing. As both heroes and villains geared for battle at the door Kandor, Alura activated a device of both Kryptonian and Brainiac design, raising Kandor from the surface and directing it to the other side of the sun, forming out of sunstones an entire new planet: New Krypton.New KryptonNew Krypton soon established a high council and proper government, with Alura as head of the science guild. She was joined on New Krypton by Kara and kal-El. Kara came because she wanted to be close to her daughter and people, Kal-El because he wanted to heal the rift between Krypton and Earth. Once there, Kal learns that Alura has released General Zod from the Phantom Zone, puts him in charge of the military guild, and assigns Kal-El under his command. This does not sit well with Kal-El as he has fought Zod before, but he still must accept that Zod is a hero on Krypton, and thus the two begin working together. New Krypton soon established a high council and proper government, with Alura as head of the science guild. She was joined on New Krypton by Kara and kal-El. Kara came because she wanted to be close to her daughter and people, Kal-El because he wanted to heal the rift between Krypton and Earth. Once there, Kal learns that Alura has released General Zod from the Phantom Zone, puts him in charge of the military guild, and assigns Kal-El under his command. This does not sit well with Kal-El as he has fought Zod before, but he still must accept that Zod is a hero on Krypton, and thus the two begin working together.KryptoniansAlura didn't forget about her husband's demise however, and sent her daughter on a mission to Earth to apprehend the murderer Reactron and bring him to New Krypton for a trial. After a series of adventures, Kara does manage to bring Reactron to New Krypton and he is put on trial before the Kryptonian high council. However an angry mob of Kryptonians demanding his death for killing their loved ones breaks into the chamber and a fight ensues. In the fight, Reactron seems to be vaporized. Alura asks everyone to make peace with his death and go home, which they do.Later, Alura goes to the tomb of Zor-El. There she breaks down into tears repeating the lessons he had thought her over the years, and asking him to forgive her for what she has done, assuring herself that she did it for the sake of Krypton. It is later revealed that that Reactron is not dead but held in a secret chamber on New Krypton. Commander Gor begins torturing him to find out who sent him. It is also revealed that Alura is behind his "mysterious" death.Last Stand & War of the SupermenWhen Brainac and Lex Luthor attack New Krypton trying to recapture it, Alura helps defending the city. Ultimately she remains as the only surviving council member following the battle. During the battle, Lex Luthor kills Commander Gor and seemingly tampers with Reactron, still trapped in his torture chamber. Following the attack, General Zod declares war on Earth and Alura proceeds to squeeze any information she can out of Reactron herself, angry at the Earthlings' involvement in Brainac's attack. Torturing Reactron, she is confronted by her daughter, and the argue about her mother's unethical behavior. At that point, Reactron reveals his secret: Lex implanted a bomb into him. As he began to radiate gold kryptonite radiation, Alura sealed her daughter into a radiation chamber, saving her life. Alura is killed by the blast, along with the planet of New Krypton.Powers and AbilitiesAlura has all the powers and weaknesses of a Kryptonian exposed to a yellow sun.PersonalityAlura seems at first to be a cold and uncaring and has always had some extremist views. When Zor-El was alive, he always served as her voice of love and compassion. When he died, that voice was gone and she grew bitter and vengeful. Though she appears this away, she is actually quite a caring person under her thick surface. She has a strong sense of responsibility towards her family, her guild and her people.She has at first butted heads with Kal-El, with her accusing him of being a traitor and him thinking her a war-monger, but since his arrival on New Krypton and her smaller role in the Krypton government, they seem to have mended their relationship.Alura has also had a difficult relationship with her daughter after her husband's death. She seemed distant and cold to Kara, often forcing the girl into tears for her bitterness. Nevertheless, she quite cares for her daughter, but doesn't know how to express this, lacking her husband's human touch. Kara has chosen to join the science guild like her mother despite being more of an artist like her father. She claims she's done this to better understand her mother.In other mediaAlura appears in the 1984 Supergirl movie. She was played by Mia Farrow.She appears in Superman: The Animated Series as a hologram, named Kara In-Zee. Unlike other versions she is not related to the house of El and is from the planet Argo, a neighboring planet to Krypton.

Cool story and pics man! Love that old Celica and the e30. Love the purple Legacy too! More of this grassroots stuff stat!
awesome coverage!
A great writeup and phenomenal pictures to match an awesome event! Great work guys!
awesome coverage! was funny when you started snapping pictures right in robs face at the end. haha. but whatever happened with erichs engine at the end?
Everyone did awesome what a great event. The Celica looks right at home too. I'm proud of you bro!
This was a first for us but for sure it won't be the last! Great job by all the drivers!
Antonio: Everything is corolla. It's pretty much a body swap. 86 column and everything. As for the difference in driving it's really about the size/weight distribution of the celica. I'm glad people like his car!
@Antonio, Thanks man! I'm glad you like it.
The engine is a 20V 4ag Blacktop. I used the entire front crossmember with all suspension and steering from the 86. The steering column is from the 86 as well. I probably have the only Celica with steering wheel tilt Front coilovers are from T3 with Tokico HTS shocks, T3 NRCA, T3 tension rods, T3 4 link and panhard. The entire rear end is from the 86 with an ATS 2way, project Mu brakes, Tokico HTS, and TRD springs. I used the brake booster and master from the 86 as well. Like my brother said, it's pretty much a body swap. The steering is slow becuase of the PS rack and the alignment is terrible. Manual rack, shortened knuckles,rack spacers and adjustable lower control arms are going in before the next event as well as a good alignment. As far as drving goes it's way better. The car is lighter so it's faster and the rear end changes direction quicker as well. This thing is really really fun to drive. I can't wait to get all the suspension dialed in. Let me know if you want to know anything else.
Yoshi + Lucas: Awesome write up and photos, I love you guys!
Pics are sooooo good!!!!!!!!!! thanks. Sorry we didnt get at you Sunday, we were hella tired and just wanted to get the 7h drive over with. We will be at ASB, cars will mostly likely be busted up by then though….. shits out of control this year!
Absoloute killa celica got one myself, what are the specs on the wheels and tires to fill the flares im gettin flares and need a rough idea what i need to fill them.
and did ya cut the orginal arch at all? cheers.
As far as the state of New York is concerned, You are the Assman!!
Shawn's FC is ridiculous! love it!! Great photos as always.

By now you may have heard: America is on its way to becoming another European country.
Now, by that I do not mean that we're moving our tectonic plate off the coast of France or anything. But rather, that a century-long dream of American progressives is finally looking like it might become a reality. The recently passed health-care legislation is the cornerstone of the Europeanization of America. And to pay for it, the White House is now floating the idea of imposing a value-added tax (VAT) like they have throughout most of Europe.
In the egghead-o-sphere there's been an ongoing debate about whether America should become more like Europe. The battle lines are split along almost perfect left-right lines ideologically. Liberals like the European welfare states, unionized workforces (in and out of government), generous benefits, long vacations, etc. Conservatives like America's economic growth, its dynamism and innovation.
From what I can tell, everyone agrees that you can't have Europeanization without European-size governments. Hence, America's government outlays (pre-Obama) have tended to hover around 20 percent of GDP (the average of the last 50 years), while Europe's are often more than twice that. In France, government outlays are nearly 55 percent of GDP. In 2009, the bailout and Obama budget sent America's government outlay to 28 percent of GDP, but that should decline a bit over the next decade, unless Democrats have something else in mind.
To be fair, liberals insist conservatives are wrong to think that Europeanizing America will necessarily come at any significant cost. New York Times columnist and Princeton economist Paul Krugman says that in exchange for only a tiny bit less growth, Europeans buy a whole lot of security and comfort. Economists such as Stanford's Michael Boskin say Europeans have a standard of living about 30 percent lower than ours and are stagnating. Others note that the structural unemployment rate in Europe, particularly for young people (it's over 20 percent in many countries), is socially devastating.
Obviously, I'm in the conservative camp. But I think the debate misses something. We can't become Europe unless someone else is willing to become America.

Image reconstruction in optical tomography in the presence of coupling errors
Applied Optics, Vol. 46, Issue 14, pp. 2743-2756 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (5083 KB)
Image reconstruction in optical tomography is a nonlinear and generally ill- posed inverse problem. Noise in the measured surface data can give rise to substantial artifacts in the recovered volume images of optical coefficients. Apart from random shot noise caused by the limited number of photons detected at the measurement site, another class of systematic noise is associated with losses specific to individual source and detector locations. A common cause for such losses in data acquisition systems based on fiber-optic light delivery is the imperfect coupling between the fiber tips and the skin of the patient because of air gaps or surface moisture. Thus the term coupling errors was coined for this type of data noise. However, source and detector specific errors can also occur in noncontact measurement systems not using fiber-optic delivery, for example, owing to local skin pigmentation, hair and hair follicles, or instrumentation calibration errors. Often it is not possible to quantify coupling effects in a way that allows us to remove them from the data or incorporate them into the light transport model. We present an alternative method of eliminating coupling errors by regarding the complex-valued coupling factors for each source and detector as unknowns in the reconstruction process and recovering them simultaneously with the images of absorption and scattering. Our method takes into account the possibility that coupling effects have an influence on both the amplitude and the phase shift of the measurements. Reconstructions from simulated and experimental phantom data are presented, which show that including the coupling coefficients in the reconstruction greatly improves the recovery of absorption and scattering images.

Blogs are increasingly advocated as a solution for academics seeking to expand their audiences, create networks and write in more reader friendly styles. As a result, more and more academics are being urged to blog within official discourses of appropriate academic behaviour.
Related Articles
However, what academics really use blogging for is the focus of new research by Inger Mewburn, The Australian National University, and Pat Thomson, School of Education, The University of Nottingham, published in a special issue of Studies in Higher Education.
In a content analysis of 100 academic blogs, Mewburn and Thomson found that far from tapping in to new audiences, networks, and ways of writing, academics endeup writing for each other in 'virtual staff rooms' where information and advice to other practitioners is shared in a hybrid public/private community.
"It does seem clear that the issues identified by advocates as worthy of address are largely not those of concern to our 100 bloggers."
Mewburn and Thomson note that "academic blogging is increasingly of interest to institutions and this may challenge some of the current practices we have recorded… there is still much to learn about academic blogging practices."

Boy electrocuted at factory
Jalandhar, September 16 Activists demanded registration of a case under Section 304 A (causing death by negligence) of the IPC against the factory owner. The deceased was identified as Anil Rail, a native of Bihar. He was working as helper in the Sham Sunder Enterprises. Parmod Yadav, president of district Purvanchal Vikas Mahasabha, said soon after the death of the boy, factory owner even did not inform the police and was planning to cremate the child. It was only after the intervention of the mahasabha and other labourers that the factory owner was ready to get the postmortem of the deceased done, Parmod alleged that the factory owner had also tried to suppress the issue by pressurising the deceaseds family for a compromise. The factory owner, Sham, contradicted the claims of the mahasabha. He said Anil was 20 years old. He said Anil accidentally got electrocuted after coming in contact with the electric fan. Gurjesh Singh, Investigating Officer, Maqsoodan police station, said as per the statement of the deceaseds co-worker, inquest proceedings under Section 174 of CrPC has been initiated. Asked about the objections raised by mahasabha activists about the age of the deceased, he said the police would also inquire into the allegations and if the owner is found guilty, action would be taken against him accordingly. |
Inter-caste marriage: Teacher couple shifted to another school
Tarn Taran, September 15 Though the department claimed that it was done on the request of the couple, the panchayat of Tharu village, where the teachers were earlier posted, had written to the District Education Officer (Secondary) to transfer the couple. Sarpanch Tejinder Singh and village elders had contended that this act of the couple (inter-caste marriage) would leave a bad influence on students, especially girls, of the school. The teachers have been moved from Government Secondary School in Tharu to Government Secondary School at Sakhira. DK Mahia, District Education Officer (Secondary Education), said the teachers were adjusted at Sakhira school for a few days and that too on the request of the couple.
NRI donated land, now wants it back: Dalit families
Jalandhar, September 16 The said villagers have also filed a written complaint with the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Nawanshahr, and the National Commission for Schedule Caste to seek justice. Sohan Singh, a driver by profession, alleged that in 2004 before contesting the panchayat elections, the NRI had asked certain Dalit families to cast vote in his favour and in lieu, he promised to donate them residential plots in the village. Though the NRI lost the election, he kept his promise and distributed plots of five marlas each to 34 Dalit families in the village. The ceremonial distribution of plots was done on the occasion of Sandali Darwaja celebration in 2005 in the presence of then Chief Minister and other political bigwigs, claimed Joga Singh, a daily-wager. He had also transferred the possession of plots in the name of families. Now after seven years, the said NRI has been threatening us of dire consequences if we do not vacate his donated plots. He has even uprooted plants, trees and other vegetables planted in the land. Even water taps installed in the land have also been uprooted by the supporters of the NRI. Joga alleged that many beneficiaries, who had constructed their houses on the donated land after bearing a huge cost, were also being threatened. Gurdev Kaur, who also got a residential plot, alleged that the NRI had been issuing threats to vacate plots to those beneficiaries who had not acceded to his personal demands. Soon after the donation of plots, the NRI pressurised the beneficiaries to get his personal household works done. Till we acceded to his demands, he never asked us to vacate the land. The day, we refused to do his personal work, he turned furious and started conspiring to get the possession of the land, she asserted. If he (NRI) wants to take back his land, he should hold a public function of the kind he organised in 2005 to donate his residential plots. We will not resist his (NRI) demand of vacating plots, if he will plead in the public that he wants his land back, the villagers said, adding that they wanted to show real face of the NRI to the public. |
SSA staff accuse DEO of harassment
Amritsar, September 16
They also accused the DEO of pushing Deputy DEO Jaspal Singh Jass towards suicide. The employees alleged that Jass died of a heart attack as he was being harassed by the DEO. They said DEO Sunita Kiran has not signed annual confidential reports of many employees despite repeated requests from them. An employee Rupinder Singh said that contractual employees were forced to pay money for tea and snacks brought to her office for various visitors. They alleged that the DEO had threatened a peon, Parvej, of termination if he did not lodge a complaint against Rupinder Singh. Pervej said, Earlier another peon was sacked as she failed to toe the DEOs line. The employees said they were forcibly taken to meetings at Chandigarh even though the department has clearly issued instructions against bringing staff to the meeting. At the meetings we are made to sit outside the venue. The motive is just to harass employees. Being contractual staff, we are not in a position to refuse her, said Jeet Singh, another employee. The employees have threatened to initiate a protest if the DEO is not transferred. The employees have sent a list of 20 different complaints to the higher authorities through a letter. Sunita Kiran said all the accusations made against her are frivolous and baseless. I have not harassed any employee, she said. She said she had congenial relations with Jass. Even Jass was not satisfied with the working style of the employees who held a press conference today, she said. |

FACTS & STATS: Site: Charles E. Smith Center (5,000) -- Washington, D.C. Television: NBCSN. Home Record: URI 7-3, GW 7-0. Away Record: URI 2-4, GW 2-2. Neutral Record: URI 0-0, GW 3-1. Conference Record: URI 0-1, GW 0-1. Series Record: George Washington leads, 29-24.
GAME NOTES: Both the Rhode Island Rams and the George Washington Colonials will try to bounce back from losses earlier in the week on Saturday afternoon, when the squads face off at the Charles E. Smith Center in Atlantic 10 Conference action.
After opening up the 2014 calendar year with two strong road wins at Brown (75-66) and LSU (74-70), URI returned home on Tuesday night to open up A-10 play only to fall to Saint Louis in heartbreaking fashion, 59-58. That loss aside, it has been a solid campaign for the Rams, who are 9-7, although that includes just a 2-4 mark away from home.
Since starting the season with wins in 11 of its first 12 matchups, GW has slipped up in two of its last three, including its league lid-lifter on Thursday night at La Salle, 76-72. The good news for the Colonials is that they get to return home where they've won all seven games at the Smith Center.
GW holds a 29-24 lead in the all-time series with URI, which includes wins in three straight matchups.
The Rams overcame a 12-point second-half deficit to Saint Louis earlier in the week to claim a one-point lead with 17 seconds left on a Xavier Munford free throw, but the Billikens answered back with a pair of free throws themselves with seven seconds remaining to capture the one-point victory. They shot just 39.6 percent from the field in the low-scoring affair and were hindered by losing the rebounding battle, 41-36. E.C. Matthews drained 3-of-7 from 3-point range on his way to 17 points, while Munford was right on his tail with 16 points.
URI typically struggles putting points on the board, as it shoots less than 43 percent from the field for 67.8 ppg, but luckily it makes up for it with a strong scoring defense (66.8 ppg). Munford leads the way with 15.8 ppg, but his production is mostly the result of high volume, as he shoots just 36.7 percent from the field. Matthews (12.4 ppg) is also a low-percentage scorer (.391), while Gilvydas Biruta is a mainstay in the frontcourt with 10.3 ppg and 6.9 rpg.
The Colonials kept their deficit to one-possession for the majority of the second half against La Salle and never trailed by more than seven points, but they were never able to overtake the lead in the four-point loss as they shot just 38.3 percent from the field, including 3-of-14 from beyond the arc. Isaiah Armwood made his presence felt in the frontcourt with 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Patricio Garino also scored 15, shooting 6-of-8 from the field and 3-of-3 from the stripe in 23 minutes off the bench. Joe McDonald netted 12 points, while Kevin Larsen tallied nine points, 11 rebounds and three steals.
On the season, GW is usually a much more efficient squad, as it shoots 46 percent from the field for 75.5 ppg, while allowing just 66.3 ppg on 41.7 percent shooting. It also lives comfortably in the green in terms of both rebounding (+4.1) and turnover (+2.5) margin. Maurice Creek is active from 3- point range, draining 39-of-94 from long distance on his way to a team-high 15.5 ppg. Kethan Savage (13.8 ppg) makes just shy of 53 percent of his field goal tries, while Armwood (11.4 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 2.5 bpg) and Larsen (10.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg) are a stellar forward duo.
URI has had issues putting respectable point totals on the board this season, especially on the road, which is a recipe for disaster heading to the Smith Center to take on a well-rounded GW squad that has yet to lose at home.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: George Washington 71, Rhode Island 61

My Dog, The Thief DVD Review
Beginning in the fall of 1954, Walt Disney would take to television airwaves one night a week and share an hour's worth of magic from his studio. During this relative infancy of TV, Walt made much of the medium, keeping past productions alive via broadcast, raising awareness on current productions via tactful promotion, and When Walt died in December 1966, the anthology series (then called "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color") suffered considerable plunges in ratings, but it would live on for a long time to come, enduring title, format, and schedule changes, but nonetheless remaining a weekend fixture, which it had been since its 7th season (1960-61). As was true of the types of live action films the Disney studio would release to theaters in the wake of its namesake's death, the made-for-TV movies would tinker little with the storytelling sensibilities that Walt had established in his productive years of working in the medium. Even though it was Walt's son-in-law Ron Miller whose name would appear as producer and even though Walt himself would not be able to charismatically introduce them, the original anthology creations post-Walt would not differ greatly from those made in Walt's lifetime. Accordingly, the result of the Walt-less Disney Company aspiring to his standards for original TV programming was that there was not a great deal of difference to be found in the production values between Disney's low-budget big screen fare and Disney's low-budget small screen fare; many of the latter variety headed to the big screen in European markets.
This is true of My Dog, The Thief, a small screen comedy movie which made its debut on the second and third Sundays of the anthology series' sixteenth season, in late September of 1969 on what was newly-retitled "The Wonderful World of Disney." It would reach overseas cinemas the following year and surely, audiences there would have been hard-pressed to note more modest origins when compared to other live action output bearing the Disney name. My Dog's director was Robert Stevenson, a veteran at the helm of some of Disney's greatest live action successes (among them, Old Yeller, Mary Poppins, and 1969's top-grosser The Love Bug). Its cast included such studio regulars as Joe Flynn and Elsa Lanchester. And its concept was not terribly sillier or differently executed than the types of animal comedies Disney had been making for about a decade, since moviegoers took to The Shaggy Dog more readily than more dramatic fare like Third Man on the Mountain.
The human protagonist of this outing is the seemingly milquetoast Jack Crandall (who could have been played by Dean Jones, Roddy McDowall, or perhaps even on-the-cusp-of-manhood Kurt Russell, but is portrayed by Dwayne Hickman, best known as the titular teen of fondly-remembered sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis"), a traffic reporter for Southern California radio station KPAE whose dull broadcasts leave listeners quickly reaching to find a different station. This is depicted in an amusing sequence early on, but Crandall's boss, station owner P.J. Applegate (Joe Flynn, in the type of role he consistently played for Disney) is seriously considering firing him if Jack can't somehow spice up his chopper reports.
Enter Barabbas, the enormous St. Bernard of the title who is introduced before anything else in the opening credits tune "That Dog, Barabbas" (penned by Terry Gilkyson, who earlier earned an Oscar nomination for "The Bare Necessities", his famous contribution to The Jungle Book). This opening montage establishes backstory for the chief canine character and, filmed without any cast member who shows up later on, While Jack is reporting on highway congestion, Barabbas resurfaces inside the airborne work station. This curveball has Jack freaking out, but somehow, drivers who haven't already tuned out really take to the mishap and the play-by-play that evolves from it. Even without visuals, the idea of the calm reporter being unable to outmuscle the mischievous St. Bernard draws interest and many enthused phone calls to the station. Having saved his job, Jack reluctantly agrees to take on the dog as a pet and co-pilot, as KPAE has a genuine phenomenon on its hands.
As if there weren't enough gags borne from this unlikely workplace scenario, the movie provides plenty more in its depiction of Jack and Barabbas outside of work. At home, the pair must deal with a landlord (Elsa Lanchester) who has an allergic cat and a strict no-dog policy. Bring on the big, suspicious cardboard box! It is also at his apartment that Jack meets his perky new neighbor Kim (Mary Ann Mobley), an obvious love interest though Barabbas's nature ensures that there will be a number of obstacles to overcome, as Jack stumbles to explain stolen items instead of revealing his pet.
What would a 1960s Disney comedy be without bumbling bad guys? A pair of villains -- McClure (Roger C. Carmel) and Foley (Mickey Shaughnessy, playing the same kind of intellectually-challenged crook he would in The Boatniks) -- provide elements of suspense and the bulk of the serious plot as they trail Jack and Barabbas, who they suspect have heisted their very expensive necklace through coincidental events. As is often the case for older live action Disney movies, the action climax feels overextended and the crooks do eventually wear out their welcome.
Still, if it never strays too far from the studio formulas, My Dog, The Thief plays its cards right and provides a surely entertaining experience. Though it relies heavily upon the iffy premise that traffic reports can be funny with a big dog in the reporter's chopper, such a wacky idea diverts enough in the moderation with which it is seen. The rest of the proceedings are uniformly enjoyable in the old-fashioned Disney tradition. From broad comedy like Barabbas's champagne hangover to subtle satire like Applegate's attempts to turn the traffic reports' newfound popularity into a major advertising deal with dog food maker Gro-Fast, the movie offers a lot to like beyond the expected big dog antics and enough to excuse the typically unhelpful policemen. There is even decent chemistry between the romantic leads.
While commercial fadeouts mark the movie as something intended for television, unlike some other anthology movies, there is not any noticeable division to indicate that it was tailored for a two-part airing. In fact, if you had seen the film before reading this review, you could very well mistake it for a theatrical release. It wouldn't be among Disney's very best, but it would be among the widely-pleasing majority.
Two random notes that don't really fit anywhere else: 1) While I could find no proof to confirm this, I'm fairly confident that the movie contains a young and uncredited appearance by recognizable character actor Larry Hankin as a bearded station worker VIDEO and AUDIO
That My Dog, The Thief was filmed for television ensures that the 1.33:1 fullscreen presentation it receives is not compromised the way most of Disney's theatrical live action comedies' DVD treatments are. Unfortunately, that's one of the few areas where points can't be taken off. It is abundantly clear that an old video master has been used; an old Walt Disney Home Video logo appears at the beginning to illustrate this much. (At least the anthology end credits are restored.) Overall, the picture quality doesn't fare as bad as it could, but it is a far cry from great or even uniformly acceptable.
Colors appear to be a little unnatural, coming across as either pale, yellow, or orangeish depending on the scene. The transfer is always lacking the sharpness and clarity of a well-restored big screen feature. Moiré effects are abound, especially stemming from checkered sports coats. A few shots of stock footage and matte composites stand out ("True Life Adventures" footage is employed a couple of times when needed, as well). These are plagued by scratches, as are some less explicable moments, such as the 25-minute mark when speckle, hiss, and pop (not to be confused with the Rice Krispies guys) take over the screen. There is also an unfortunate video jitter at 54 minutes into the movie. These are the most noticeable detractions, but the disc contains several easily noticeable visual flaws that should not have passed through the mastering process unnoticed and untended to as they appear to be.
Audio is provided as two-channel Dolby Digital Mono. The biggest offense in this regard is that an acute amount of hiss is consistently present on the soundtrack. You will get used to it sure enough, but it only supports the overall feeling that you're watching a well-watched VHS cassette. I'm not sure if the original elements have been poorly preserved to the point where this troubled video master was the best route to take. Either way, more drastic remastering efforts are certainly in order and one hopes that when the studio finally gets around to releasing more made-for-TV movies, they look and sound better than this.
BONUS FEATURES, MENUS, and DESIGN
It's not in the slightest bit surprising that there are no bonus features to be found on this disc. Nor is it a shock to discover sneak peeks which play automatically at the beginning of the disc, promoting Lady and the Tramp: Platinum Edition, Tim Allen's The Shaggy Dog (a trailer/featurette hybrid), "Classic Family" (live action Disney titles that have been treated better than this), and the first wave of Timeless Tales. The Sneak Peeks menu holds additional promos for Bambi II, Chicken Little, and The Little Mermaid: "Special" Edition.
The menus appear to be the result of a primitive student exercise in computer graphics. A doo-laced '60s-sounding soundtrack excerpt accompanies the basic (and oddly 16x9-enhanced) Main Menu imagery, while a different instrumental tune (with soft but still audible dog noises) accompanies the Scene Selections and Set Up screens. None of them are animated or overly inspired (the cursor is a paw print), but it's more than some studios might do for a little-seen 36-year-old TV movie.
General Disney fans and grownups with fond memories have been clamoring for a number of the studio's made-for-TV movies to come to DVD and allow them to revisit old favorites. As far as I know, My Dog, The Thief isn't commonly among those wish lists, My Dog's disc debut offers both good and bad news for those other television productions. The good: its release paves the way for more to come, especially those that enjoyed a studio-issued VHS. The bad: it has been given a lackluster presentation, unsurprisingly free of bonus features but also with subpar picture and sound. The one thing that redeems the DVD does so considerably. It is the movie itself, which is very much in the mold of other live action Disney movies of the '60s and '70s and contains enough charm and humor to rival many of its big screen kin. One needn't be a fan of St. Bernards or kleptomania to enjoy this production, merely a fan of live action Disney movies and their typical formulas. My Dog, The Thief offers a fresh enough story, good-natured efforts from all involved, and apt variables to ensure enough entertainment for repeat viewings, whether or not you are old enough to recall its anthology debut. One only wishes the DVD treatment was as satisfying as the feature.

Initially, a majority of the newly-created content was either not really newly-created (that is, it compiled old live action and animated shorts) or it took the form of an hour-long installment of an ongoing series, such as the remarkably popular Davy Crockett stories.

This personality trait explains the movie's title, the dog's name (taken from the Biblical thief set free instead of Christ), and the fact that he has been adopted and returned eight times. Running off on the dog catcher, Barabbas winds up in the airport where Jack takes off on his helicopter (always at the last minute) for his daily reports.

That is the best way to describe the Montreal Canadiens play in their 4-1 home opening loss to Calgary Flames last night.
You could also use the words disorganized and undisciplined.
There were a few flashes of positivity that will hopefully become more plentiful as the season progresses. That aside, this team looks like they need to find their timing and learn the system.
They also look like injuries, especially those on the back end, are hurting them right now.
Montreal got on the board first but sloppy play and bad penalties gave the Flames a 3-1 lead going into the first intermission.
The Habs were never able to recover as the major weakness of the Jacques Martin system—the inability to come from behind—reared it ugly head again.
PSH numbers: The Habs dominated 69 percent of the game to the Flames 31 percent. They also carried the momentum with a 237 rating to the Flames 152.
Final score: Flames 4 - Habs 1
Game Notes
Goaltending stats - It looks like Carey Price will have to wait for his 100th win afterall. He currently sits at 99 for his career.
At the same time, Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff became the winningest goalie in Calgary Flames history, picking up his 263rd win last night.
Did he do that on purpose?
Max Pacioretty assisted on Andrei Kostitsyn's first period goal, by shooting the puck off the board behind the net. The puck caromed out the opposite side where AK46 put it into the empty net from a severe angle.
It looked like Pacioretty did it on purpose until you saw the replay which showed Kiprusoff getting a piece of the puck, deflecting it behind the net himself.
Still, it was a nice goal!
Nice shot!
Rene Bourque got the Flames on the board at 7:15 of the first on the powerplay. On the play, he grabbed the puck near the right faceoff circle, turned and fired a zinger past the Habs defender and over Price's glove hand. Top corner.
It was a sick shot but, I've got to admit that Price was a little deep in his net on the play.
Same deal for Price on the Flames second goal.
What happened to the Habs hermetic defensive zone coverage? Isn't that what Jacques Martin is known for?
So why then was there always a free Flames player in the slot? Especially in the first period?
The Habs gap control was non-existant in the first frame, and that was the difference at the end of the day.
When the Habs are playing well they move through each zone as a five-man unit. Last night, they were far too often out of position and had too much space between players. Especially in the defensive zone.
That sloppiness is what allowed the Flames to capitalize on their chances, burying the Habs in the first period.
Mark Giordano, David Moss, Rene Bourque and Miikka Kiprusoff
Those four players were the story of the game for Calgary.
With Kiprusoff making the saves he had to, Moss always in the slot with the puck, Giordano constantly in the thick of things, defensively, and Bourque burying the biscuit, the Habs had more than they could handle.
Bourque finished the night with two goals and three shots on net, Moss had a goal and four shots on goal and Giordano finished the night was 24:09 of ice time, tops among Flames skaters.
Erik Cole and Tomas Plekanec look good together
I know, I know, Cole made a ton of turnovers last night, was sloppy defensively and hasn't yet been the player Montreal was expecting when they signed him.
That being said, last night there was several shifts in the offensive zone where you could see how well these two players fit together.
They work well because Plekanec finally has a big, burly winger who can create room for him to work his magic.
As a result, Plekanec often had as much time as he needed in the offensive zone, with Cole barreling into the corners and the front of the net.
And did anyone else notice how fast Erik Cole is? For a big man, this is a guy who can motor.
Hopefully for Montreal, Coach Martin will keep the duo together because if they can find some chemistry, they will make a deadly combo once Michael Cammalleri is back in the lineup.
Once they jel...
The Habs second line (or first?) of Scott Gomez, Brian Gionta and Max Pacioretty also looked good. You can see that their timing is off a little but once they get it going and once Cammalleri is back, the Habs could have themselves a very potent one-two punch.
Settle down P.K.!
The Habs are only three games in but, so far, Subban's play has left much to be desired. He seems to be trying to do too much and, as a result, is getting caught out of position a lot.
Last night was no different.
Moreover, Subban's overzealousness is part of the reason why the Habs PP is sputtering right now. As I said after last game, I'm not a fan of Plekanec on point on the PP because he isn't a shooter and that limits the Habs options.
But with P.K. running around a bit, Plekanec's job is even harder on the PP, having to cover for his wayward blueline partner.
Like everything else, the PP will eventually fall into place for this team. But, I don't think it will do so with Plekanec on the point.
Up next: The Habs have the day off before taking on the Colorado Avalanche at the Bell Centre, Saturday night.
Colorado is coming off a 7-1 drubbing of the Ottawa Senators so Montreal better be ready for a big game.

Two Young Ladies
This photo was found in my GGGrandmother's photo album.
Mystery: Does anyone recognize either of these young ladies? From the dresses they are wearing, the time period would be the early 1900s. They stand in front of a decorative backdrop and behind a chair. They both are wearing flowery hats, white blouses, black paten belts, and black skirts. The young lady on the left appears to be about 17 years of age while the other appears to be about 15.

Critical Essay by Mark Taylor
SOURCE: Taylor, Mark. "Presence and Absence in Much Ado about Nothing." Centennial Review 33, no. 1 (winter 1989): 1-12.
In the following essay, Taylor focuses on the inscrutability of characters' reports of events in Much Ado about Nothing that are not represented on stage. Emphasizing the subjectivity of these reports, he focuses on Don Pedro's offstage conversation with Hero in Act II, scene i and the chamber-window scene in which Margaret is mistaken for Hero.
Who would not say, that glosses increase doubt and ignorance, since no booke is to be seene, whether divine or profane, commonly read of all men, whose interpretation dimmes or tarnisheth not the difficulty?

Most of Uptown New Orleans appears likely to avoid a political tug-of-war over redrawing City Council boundaries, though one proposal would change the representation for a handful of neighborhoods along Jefferson Avenue.
Of the five proposed redistricting plans unveiled this weekend, four show no changes to representation Uptown whatsoever, and one slides six voting precincts along Jefferson Avenue from Councilwoman Susan Guidry's District A into Councilwoman Stacy Head's District B. Continue reading »
With tentative neighborhood support after a meeting with the new owner of the former NOCCA school building, high-end condos are emerging as a likely next life of the century-old Uptown New Orleans landmark.
Developer Jim MacPhaille met June 8 with the zoning committee of the Upper Hurstville Neighborhood Association to discuss options for the old LaSalle School on Perrier, and left with their preliminary agreement with a plan to convert it into a development of about 15 to 18 high-end condos with a few standalone homes on the side of the property. The condos would likely sell for $400 per square foot, he said, and the site would likely have about 48 parking spaces on it. Continue reading »
The former NOCCA school building on Perrier Street in Uptown New Orleans sold at auction Thursday for $2.45 million to a couple who said they bought the century-old building in order to save it.

With developers insisting that Walgreens is the most likely tenant of an multi-million dollar proposed renovation of the old American Legion buildling on Magazine Street, many of the nearly 200 people at a Wednesday-night town hall on the project focused their questions on the planned design of its modern, glass-wall facade and large rear parking lot and drive-through. Continue reading »
Zoning on Magazine Street may not be as accommodating to a Walgreens pharmacy as was originally assumed, members of the adjacent neighborhood association said Tuesday evening as they began preliminary discussions of the proposed development.
The old American Legion in the 5500 block of Magazine is zoned B-2, which allows for a variety of general retail uses, said Peggy Adams, an attorney on the board of the Audubon-Riverside Neighborhood Association. Although B-2 does not specifically prohibit drug stores, pharmacies with drive-through lanes are specifically mentioned in a separate section of the city zoning code, C-1A. And in some cases, Adams said, the fact that one type of development is specifically mentioned in a certain zoning has been used to preclude it in other zonings. Continue reading »
The purchase and renovation of the old American Legion building on Magazine Street will cost nearly $6 million, requiring a tenant that can pay approximately $600,000 per year for the lease, the developer eying the property for a possible Walgreens told neighborhood leaders on Friday.
Stirling Properties plans to replace the brick facade with a glass wall, preserve some of the American Legion features inside the building and add a drive-through to the 40-space parking lot in the rear. Although the commercial zoning would allow the store to stay open 24 hours and sell alcohol, current plans are to do neither, closing instead at 10 p.m., the representatives of three neighborhoods surrounding the site wrote in a letter to members Sunday evening.
The neighborhood leaders recommended the developer call a meeting with the public to discuss the project, the letter says, but no date has been announced.

A controversial Pilates studio will lower its Magazine Street facade and provide a handful of additional parking spaces in a nearby lot during peak hours, but those concessions were voluntary and all that upset neighbors can expect, city officials told a crowd of more than 100 people Monday evening.

An Uptown Pilates studio has been allowed to resume construction on its controversial new Magazine Street building even as it continues negotiating with the city over its final design and parking requirements.
A packed meeting of the Audubon-Riverside Neighborhood Association attended by city officials and representatives of Romney Pilates led residents upset about the studio's impact on the neighborhood to conclude that there is little they can do other than strive for better notification about similar projects in the future.

A meeting of Magazine Street-area neighbors concerned about the construction of a new Pilates studio has been postponed temporarily, an organizer said Wednesday morning.
Renovating the old New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts school into a third campus has proven too expensive an idea for Lusher Charter School amid the present uncertainty about public school funding, so school officials are restarting their search for a new Uptown location. Continue reading »
If voters in Upper Hurstville choose to renew the neighborhood's private security patrols Tuesday, they'll see a reduced fee on their property-tax bills next year.
The fee had been $485 per parcel, but the security district's board voted last week to reduce that amount to $425, said district chair Karen Duncan. The legislation enabling the 24-hour patrols expires after this year, however, so Upper Hurstville residents must first renew the district at the ballot Tuesday. Continue reading »
The possibility of Lusher Charter School expanding into the shuttered former Uptown site of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts brings mixed feelings in the surrounding neighborhood, and the balance of opinion may rest on whether local children could gain attendance privileges to the popular school. Continue reading »
If an eleventh-hour do-over makes it through state government by the end of this week, votes cast regarding the Upper Hurstville Security District in the Oct. 2 election will not be counted and the ballot question will be moved to Nov. 2 in slightly altered form.
The security district — which uses a $485-per-parcel fee to provide around-the-clock security patrols from Magazine to Prytania, between Nashville Avenue and Audubon Park — was created by neighborhood voters in 2003 for a seven-year term, and thus needed renewal this year.
Late last week, however, district chair Karen Duncan discovered that the ballot question as worded would effectively raise the fee to $650 — rather than merely giving the district board that option if the needed arose — and moving the election date emerged as the only solution. Continue reading »

My Boat holds 70 Gals of Water, 20 Gals of Diesel and 30 Gals of waste. But I do respect your opinion. It may not be suitable. That being said. I will gain the experience and learn the capabilities by trial and error. As chef2sail explains below, harbor hopping will help. Thanks for your help.

As an example of what I mean, you can click around and find the story of the folks who entered a CS 30 in a Bermuda race. Now the CS 30 is a sweet racer/cruiser, comparable strength-wise to a C&C 30, but with more carrying capacity. Anyway the weather turned bad, some lose ends became problems, some problems became very uncomfortable and scary, and the crew called the USCG for rescue, leaving the boat to float off to points unknown. The CS 30 is a very nice boat, but not suitable for offshore use.
