The Rameswaram fishermen, who had announced to lay siege to the Pamban road bridge on April 12, called off their proposed stir as the Mannar District Court in Sri Lanka has ordered the release of 19 fishermen, who were arrested on March 13.
Acting judge M. M. Sarbudhin ordered the release of the fishermen with four of their trawlers, when they were produced before the court on Thursday, according to U. Arulanandham, president of the Alliance for the Release of Innocent Fishermen (ARIF) here.
H. H. More, Station Commander of Mandapam Coast Guard Station, said the Indian Coast Guard would receive the released fishermen on being handed over by the Sri Lankan Navy at the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) around 10 a.m. on Friday. The Coast Guard would bring the fishermen and their four trawlers to the Rameswaram fishing jetty around 2 p.m., he told The Hindu.
The Rameswaram fishermen were fighting for the release of the 19 fishermen, when the Lankan Navy had detained 30 more fishermen on the night of April 6 with their five boats and remanded them in judicial custody till April 18. Protesting against this, leaders of 12 fishermen's associations on April 7 announced an indefinite strike and to lay siege to the Pamban bridge. "We have decided to call off the agitation as we learnt that the Lankan court has ordered the release of 19 fishermen," P. Sesu Raja, District Secretary, Tamil Nadu Coastal Mechanised Boat Fishermen association said.
"We see this (release of 19 fishermen) as a good sign and we have decided to wait till April 18 for the release of 30 other fishermen also," he said.

Snyder Accused of Intimidation Under New Law
And 'Washington City Paper' addresses the anti-Semitism question
There oughta be a law against Daniel Snyder's lawsuit accusing Washington City Paper of defamation—and, it turns out, there very well may be.
Snyder sued the District's main alternative weekly over its sportswriter Dave McKenna's brilliant, apt, and accurate "The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder," a comprehensive brief against the petty tyrant who has owned the beloved franchise for more than a decade of mediocrity, and that's just on-the-field. Snyder's case is dependent on deliberate misreadings that a fairly intelligent child could see through, as well as, on the part of the plaintiff, skin thinner than mesh work-out shorts. In fact, the suit is intended not actually to be adjudicated but to use the wide discrepancy between the resources of the multibillionaire Snyder and the small weekly in order to bully the latter into firing McKenna and stop pointing out the obvious shortcomings of the Skins' diminutive (in all senses) owner. This isn't only my opinion; it's something Snyder's general counsel acknowledged months ago when he wrote to WCP's investment fund, "We presume that defending such litigation would not be a rational strategy … Indeed, the cost of the litigation would presumably quickly outstrip the asset value of the Washington City Paper." (If you'd care to narrow the discrepancy, the legal defense fund is here.)
But exactly such lawsuits, according to a new motion filed Friday by WCP, are banned under an innovative and brand-new D.C. law known as the Anti-SLAPP Act ("Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation"). The D.C. Council (I quote from court documents accessible here) intended the law, WCP says, "to bring an early and definitive end to lawsuits instituted by those plaintiffs who have made litigation their 'weapon of choice' against their public critics, 'not to win the lawsuit but to punish the opponent and intimidate them into silence.'" The special motion to dismiss places the burden on Snyder to prove that his claim—to quote from the law itself—"is likely to succeed on the merits." Certainly Floyd Abrams, the nation's top First Amendment attorney, thinks it won't—he's working for WCP. (Snyder, by contrast, has notable dirtbag Lanny Davis on his side.)
Oh, and what of the allegation that the WCP cover image (above) was anti-Semitic—the ludicrous notion that it harnesses Snyder's Jewishness to impute demonic qualities (as though the Skins' record during his tenure weren't enough to impute that)? The charge was featured prominently in Snyder's first complaint; Snyder even got the Simon Wiesenthal Center to echo it (and it has yet, to my knowledge, to retract its own statement). In a footnote, WCP takes special care to deal with this: "Both Washington City Paper and Mr. McKenna emphatically reject Mr. Snyder's accusation that the scribbling of facial hair and horns on his photograph was intended by them or reasonably understood by readers as an anti-Semitic slur," a memorandum accompanying the motion states. It continues:
To the contrary, it represents a common (if arguably adolescent) way of poking fun at someone. That, however, has not stopped Mr. Snyder from making the spurious charge, both in his complaints and in his various public relations initiatives, that the scribblings are evidence of the defendants' anti-Semitism, notwithstanding Mr. Snyder's knowledge that his religion is never mentioned in the [article] and that responsible editors of Washington City Paper are themselves Jewish. See Smith Aff. ¶ 7 & Ex. 5 (managing editor observing in blog post that "we at Washington City Paper take accusations of anti-Semitism seriously—in part because many of us are Jewish, including staffers who edited the story and designed the cover. So let us know, Mr. Snyder, when you want to fight the real anti-Semites"); id. ¶ 8 & Ex. 6 (Huffington Post report observing that "Washington City Paper managing editor Mike Madden, who has taken it upon himself to address this matter specifically, was bar mitzvahed in August of 1989").
Step 1: Drop the lawsuit.
Step 2: Sell the team.

Learn about the
Central Indiana Senior Fund
Formerly the Indianapolis Retirement Home Fund, the Fund originally existed as part of a small not-for-profit nursing home located at 1731 North Capitol Avenue.
But an aging building, declining census, and reductions in Medicaid reimbursements led to its closure in 2003. Its $10 million endowment was placed at CICF, where it became a fund with a mission to support programs and opportunities for low- to moderate-income older adults in Central Indiana, especially programs for under-served or isolated senior populations. Besides its responsive grantmaking support to senior-serving organizations, the Central Indiana Senior Fund is also strategic and proactive in its funding to identify and address the unique needs of, and opportunities for, seniors. In 2009, the advisors for the Central Indiana Senior Fund committed $500,000 over three years for the Elders at the Table (EAT) Initiative to improve the food provision system for seniors in Central Indiana and impact senior access to nutritious food. Your contribution to the fund will make a big difference to elderly people, today and in the future. For more information about the Central Indiana Senior Fund and the needs of seniors, contact Ruthie Purcell-Jones, Director of Philanthropic Services.
Grant Applications
To find out if your organization may qualify for a grant, please review the 2015 Central Indiana Senior Fund Grant Guidelines. To apply, you must complete the 2015 CISF Proposal Concept Form prior to May 29. You will be notified within two weeks of your proposal's submittal whether your organization has been invited to continue to the application stage. Central Indiana Senior Fund Advisors convene in October to make funding decisions on grant proposals. After completing your form, email it to Alyse Vail by no later than midnight on May 29.

Arts and Entertainment

THERE WAS A time not so long ago when the explosion of new bands and music in San Francisco was indescribably fun and exciting, and Kimo's was at the center of it, possibly one of the reasons it happened. On any given night you could see a noise band, a metal band, and a punk rock band play on the same five-by-five stage. That is what makes a good scene happen the crossover of ideas that leads to new, better stuff and Kimo's, thanks to booker Matt Shapiro, was not only open to the idea but also encouraged it. As cheesy as it sounds, the folks at Kimos "believed" in the music. That the music had power. That the music could touch you. That if Shapiro wore lipstick and a miniskirt it might scare away the full-length leather-coat crowd.
There were times when we were there four or five nights a week. It wasn't because Kimo's was "the place to be"; it was just where all the shows were held. Shapiro seemed to have some kind of preternatural ability to put together the right bands so that there was always just enough weird crossover to keep it interesting. And they could do anything. That's why Kimo's was the best, and it's really too bad, even unfair, that it's gone. A scene needs a place like Kimo's in order to thrive.
But there will be another cool spot to replace it; there always is. It just depends on who is smart enough to let Shapiro book his or her club.
These are the best things I ever saw at Kimo's:
Burmese with Face Down in Shit Face Down in Shit played some kind of Virginian pro-tree metal, prefacing each song with stuff like, "This here's a sawng about settin' in the woods with y'alls buddies round a campfire and watchin' th' ashes go up in the a-yer." After they were done, all of their girlfriends sat down on the floor in front of where Burmese set up, in front of the stage. Burmese played for about 10 seconds before Mike (the little one) stomped all over the women like he hadn't seen them.
He ended up tangled up among them and their suddenly very angry boyfriends. Mike then started doing his usual raging against the audience, getting closer and closer with his bass each time. Finally, one of the Virginians grabbed him and punched his face so hard that his glasses came off and he went sprawling and all his pedals came unplugged.
He plugged them back in and charged the audience, and this time he was thrown into the drum set so hard that the drums fell over. A long buzzing sound followed, and Burmese lurched into another song, hampered by the fact that the hippie metal guys were trying to fight them as they played their show. The set ended 15 minutes after it started, with the lights on and scrawny Mike standing there, his fist raised, challenging someone else to punch him in the face, surrounded by pedals, strings, drum equipment, and the sound of the amplifiers turned up too loud.
eXtreme Elvis Before the show, eXtreme Elvis was dragged through the crowd with puke running down his chest. When the show started, he called someone he had a beef with out of the audience and then hit the guy over the head with a bottle. The guy hit the floor, and people started freaking out, especially the drummer, who jumped up and ran downstairs to call an ambulance. He came back and Elvis yelled at him for leaving the stage.
The drummer then got really angry with Elvis and refused to play. Elvis kept yelling, "You're my drummer. Now git back behind those drums and earn your pay." Finally, the guy agreed to play, even though he thought that the stunt was real (it wasn't) and that Elvis had just seriously hurt a member of the audience.
The show ended with 40 people hiding at the back by the fire exit, as far from the stage as possible, where extreme Elvis swayed, pissing, with his shirt off and his pants around his ankles, singing "Mother" by John Lennon, specifically the line "Children don't you do what I have done."
Friends Forever One time these insane dudes from Colorado called Friends Forever drove up in the van they live in and played in front of Kimo's. The drums were set up in back, and the bass player sat in the passenger side and stuck his bass out the window. They had fireworks going off inside and outside of the van, a fan with bottle rockets tied to the blades attached to the bass player's back, sparklers, and a giant canvas bag filled with air. The drummer had his own laser show going in the back seat. It was crazy. The cops showed up about one second after they finished.

PLAQUEMINES PARISH, La. The salt water intrusion on the Mississippi is affecting the water supply for Plaquemines Parish and water is now being received from Jefferson and Orleans parishes.
The salt water intrusion is due to historically low levels of water on the Mississippi River.
Since Jefferson and Orleans operate at lower water pressure, officials said residents will notice a slight reduction in water pressure. The reduced pressure is normal, according to officials.
'Plaquemines Parish is also pumping water from barges to the water intake located in Port Sulphur. These two processes, along with the sill being built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, are helping combat the high chloride levels currently in the Mississippi River,' said Caitlan Campbell, a spokesperson for the parish
Residents and businesses are asked to conserve water.
'The toe of the salt water wedge is located at mile marker 89 in the river which is in St. Bernard Parish. The area of high chloride levels begins approximately 15 miles downstream from the toe at mile marker 74 which is below Belle Chasse,' said Campbell.

Taulava lives up to MVP billing, rises in clutch in Beermen's game 1 win
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines — For Asi Taulava, the adage "age is just a number" is true.
The 40-year-old Taulava scored four in the final minute, which proved to be crucial in helping San Miguel nip Indonesia, 75-70, in game one of the Asean Basketball League (ABL) best-of-five finals.
Taulava wound up with a game-best 22 points on the night he was formally awarded as the league's MVP at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, defying the odds at his age.
"He showed why he's MVP. He proved his worth," said head coach Leo Austria of his veteran center.
Taulava first showcased his repertoire of finesse and nifty drives early in the game, but turned to his perimeter shooting to save the Beermen down the stretch.
San Miguel took a 69-60 lead with under six minutes to play, but the the Warriors turned to Steven Thomas and Stanley Pringle in crunch time to pull within three, thrice.
Each time, though, Taulava was there to frustrate Indonesia, knocking down a jumper to stretch the lead to five the with 48.3 ticks remaining and the dagger with 16.9 seconds.
"Although [Taulava] made a lot of mistakes in the last two minutes, in the end, he showed his worth to our team," said Austria.
Down eight in the first half, the Beermen took the lead for good two minutes into the third quarter, but needed to fend off the Warriors' attack the rest of the way.
"We put our premium on defense it was hard to get an open shot [for them]. I told them every possesion is important," said Austtria.
Guard Chris Banchero finished with 15 points, while Val Acuña added 13 including three triples which gave the Beermen the spark they needed.
The entire Warriors line-up, meanwhile, uncorked just a triple more than Acuña's output out of 22 tries, which head coach Todd Purves thought sealed their doom.

How are the picks so far? SU:
Big 12 Game of
the Week
Texas Tech (3-0) at Oklahoma State
Why to Watch: It's
still early, but this is
basically what we know at this
point about the Big 12 South.
Baylor's probably the worst
team, Oklahoma is probably the
best, Texas and Texas A&M are
good, but extremely flawed, and
the loser of this game will
likely end up fifth in the
overall pecking order. Texas
Tech has been dominant so far in
wins over SMU, UTEP and Rice,
averaging 569 yards and 51
points per game. All questions
about the loss of a slew of
receivers have been answered,
and the attack is humming along
better than ever. Meanwhile,
Oklahoma State has been one of
the years bigger
disappointments. Struggling in a
35-14 loss to Georgia is one
thing, but having the doors
blown off by Troy on national TV
is another. OSU lost 41-23 last
week, but can quickly get into a
groove this week and with Sam
Houston State ahead.
Why Texas Tech Might Win: Oklahoma
State wasn't even close to
stopping Troy's spread offense,
giving up 371 yards to Omar
Haugabook in the blowout loss.
Texas Tech doesn't run the same
type of offense, but it should
be able bomb away for 400 yards
if changes aren't made. The
Cowboys are saying all the right
things about making the big
changes needed to be more
effective defensively, but the
pass rush hasn't been there and
the secondary hasn't made a key
stop in a big situation. Helping
the Red Raiders be so effective
has been the play of an
offensive line that's not
allowing anyone to get by. In
178 pass attempts, Tech has
given up just two sacks.
Why Oklahoma State Might Win:
It's not like Texas Tech has
faced an actual offense yet. SMU
is just Justin Willis, UTEP is
still rebuilding, and Rice has
gone back to being Rice.
Oklahoma State, for all its
problems and inconsistencies,
still has as much offensive
talent as anyone in the Big 12.
Now it all has to come together.
If the quarterback situation can
be settled, and if Dantrell
Savage is back in the backfield,
as he's expected to be this
week, and if the defense can be
merely average, the pieces are
there to hang with the red hot
Red Raiders. Tech's defense
isn't special and can be run on
if OSU commits to it.
Who to Watch: The ongoing OSU
quarterback saga continues. Zac
Robinson went the entire way
against Troy with lousy results,
completing 18 of 37 passes for
191 yards and a touchdown with
an interception. He's not Reid.
Reid has the arm, the mobility,
and the talent to be a
superstar, but it hasn't
happened yet this season. Is
Reid healthy? If so, he'll be
back in, but how effective will
he be? Injuries have killed the
Cowboys so far, and they need
everything working to pull off
the win.
What Will Happen: The home team
has won the last five games in
the series. Make it six in a
row. OSU has a ton of issues on
both sides of the ball and isn't
playing nearly as well as it
should be, but there's also a
sense of urgency after the Troy
game. Now the lights are on with
the opening of the Big 12
season, and while Tech will put
up over 400 passing yards, this
will be the game the Cowboy
offense finally plays as
expected with balance, speed,
and explosion.
CFN Prediction:
State 34 ... Texas Tech
... Line: Texas Tech -5.5
Must See Rating: (5 Curb Your
Enthusiasm - 1 Kid Nation)
Big 12 Thursday, Sept. 20
Texas A&M
(3-0) at Miami (2-1)
Why to watch:
Texas A&M and Miami have one thing in
common as they prepare to meet for the
first time since 1944. Both want to use
Thursday night's nationally televised
game as a high-profile launching pad
toward regaining some of the luster
they've lost in recent years. For the
Aggies, this is their most important
non-conference game since getting beat
by Virginia Tech four years ago. Yeah,
they're unbeaten and ranked No. 16 in
the latest Coaches' Poll, but wins over
Montana State and Louisiana-Monroe, and
a close call with Fresno State, hardly
has anyone thinking Big 12 title. A win
in the Orange Bowl, even when Miami is
down, will boost A&M's street cred while
bolstering Dennis Franchione's always
tenuous job security. The Hurricanes
are still trying to locate an identity,
winning the two games they were supposed
to, but getting humiliated, 51-13, at
Oklahoma two weeks ago. Miami is just
3-8 in its last 11 games against ranked
opponents, and it desperately needs a
win over a name team to officially get
the Randy Shannon era going.
Why Texas A&M might win: The last
time Miami played a team from the Big
12, its heralded defense got exposed by
the passing of Sam Bradford and the
running of DeMarco Murray, a pair of
star OU freshmen. The Aggies don't
throw it nearly as well as OU, but boast
one of the nation's most dynamic and
diverse running games, getting power
from Jorvorskie Lane, speed from Mike
Goodson, and a little of both from QB
Stephen McGee. If A&M can get this game
into the 30s, the Hurricanes won't have
the offensive weapons to keep up.
Despite already playing Marshall and
Florida International, Miami averages
just 22 points a game, and is 99th
in the country in total offense.
Why Miami might win: The Sooners
were able to dent the 'Cane D in large
part because they had balance, something
Texas A&M lacks. McGee is an average
passer with just two touchdown tosses
this year, meaning Miami can stack the
line with S Kenny Phillips and LBs Colin
McCarthy and Tavares Gooden in order to
slow down the Aggie ground game. While
the Hurricane offense certainly has
issues, it could come to life against an
A&M defense that has just three sacks
and allowed 215 yards rushing to
UL-Monroe a week ago. Miami QB Kyle
Wright will be playing with a sense of
purpose after regaining his job, and the
running duo of Javarris James and Graig
Cooper is as talented as the school has
had in five years.
Who to watch: Aggie TE Martellus
Bennett switched from No. 13 to No. 85
last week in honor of former Miami and
current Buffalo Bill TE Kevin Everett,
who suffered a serious spinal cord
injury two weeks ago. Besides being a
class act, Bennett is a 6-7 match up
nightmare that leads A&M in receiving,
and already has 34 knockdown blocks
through three games. Many NFL scouts
consider him the nation's top tight end
prospect, and this is his chance to come
through with a national breakout game.
What will happen: Against quality
programs, such as Texas A&M, Miami lacks
the horses on offenses to come out on
top. On a hot, sticky night in South
Florida, the Aggie ground attack will
wear out the Hurricane D in the second
half, leading the team to a key out of
conference win.
CFN Prediction:

28 ... Miami 23

Big 12 Friday, Sept. 21
(3-0) at Tulsa
Why to watch:
Along with Hawaii and Air Force, Tulsa
is one of just three remaining unbeaten
non-BCS teams, so a visit from Oklahoma
represents a unique and enormous
opportunity to become the "it" team
among smaller programs. In two games,
the Hurricane has quickly adapted to its
new no-huddle, hurry-up offense, scoring
points in bunches and proving to be a
very entertaining draw for fans of
wide-open attacks. Many current Tulsa
players, including QB Paul Smith, were
on the 2005 team that nearly shocked
Oklahoma in Norman, so intimidation
shouldn't be a factor this week. Three
lopsided wins and the overnight
development of freshman QB Sam Bradford
have the fourth-ranked Sooners on the
doorstep of national championship
contention and ahead of Texas as the
favorite in the Big 12. The way both
teams are putting up points these days,
the scoreboard at Skelly Stadium could
look like a pinball machine Friday
Why Oklahoma might win: Sure,
Tulsa can move the ball, but can they
stop anyone? More important, can they
even slow down a Sooner offense that
leads the nation in scoring, and laid 51
on a pretty good Miami defense two weeks
ago? The Hurricane allowed almost 700
yards to Max Hall and BYU last weekend,
a very troubling sign with Oklahoma in
town. With a significant advantage
along the line, the Sooners will move
the ball on the ground with Allen
Patrick and DeMarco Murray, and give
Bradford enough time to line up Malcolm
Kelly and Juaquin Iglesias. The
under/over on Sooner punts is two. Take
the under.
Why Tulsa might win: Although
Oklahoma is going to get its points, the
Hurricane is capable of going
stride-for-stride with an offense that's
scored 76 points over the last six
quarters. Smith has been crisp over
that time, spreading the ball around to
a number of different receivers and
limiting his mistakes. That BYU defense
that Tulsa carved up for 595 yards and
55 points last Saturday is the same one
that allowed just 34 points in its first
two games against teams from the Pac-10.
Who to watch: While Kelly was
good last year, he's been out of this
world so far in 2007, helping flatten
the learning curve for Bradford.
Despite sitting out the end of blowouts,
the junior already has 14 catches for
301 yards and seven touchdowns, numbers
he's going to pad against a very
questionable Hurricane secondary.
What will happen: Tulsa will make
some plays in the passing game, but in
order to beat Oklahoma these days,
you've got to be prepared to get it done
on both sides of the ball. The
Hurricane will have no answers for a
Sooner offense that's beating opponents
with power, speed, and crisp execution.
CFN Prediction:
51 … Tulsa 23

The Australian Open was still officially one of the four important titles in the year however players from the US and Europe didn't want to make the long trip down under so they usually skipped it. I'm not sure who talked about winning all four, at the time, but Connors almost achieved it but was banned from the French Open and, I believe, it was one of Borg's goals. Back when the Australian Open was held at the end of the year, once Borg won the French and Wimbledon, he tried for the US Open and I read somewhere if he was successful in New York he would have made the trip to Australia to try for the calendar slam.
The term 'grand slam' is winning all four majors in a year but the term has become synonymous and interchangeable with major, for some reason, I can't pinpoint the exact time.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Told in timeline flea leaps, the story follows Marcello (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a would-be sophisticate lining up with Mussolini's Fascists in the '30s for his own, very private reasonsas the title makes clear, this is participatory politics seen as psychosocial dysfunction. Being "normal" is an ideal the fiercely closeted Marcello talks about a lot, his desire to belong spiraling out to include marriage (to the fabulously pliable and obnoxious Stefania Sandrelli) and insinuating himself into the Party by framing his old university mentor (Enzo Tarascio) and, by extension, the prof's sexy, testy trophy wife (Dominique Sanda). The motor for Marcello's lost ping-ponging between allegiances and whims (his toss-it-all yen for Sanda's bisexual flirt moves to the heart of the film, and then, terribly, seems to have never been there) is an innocuous childhood accident of illegal sex and blood crime, from which spills a lifetime of searching and emptiness.
All at once, The Conformist is a bludgeoning indictment of fascistic follow-the-leader and an orgasm of coolness, ravishing compositions, camera gymnastics (the frame virtually squirms around, like Marcello), and atmospheric resonanceas if its decadent, twilitart deconoir style is itself a refutation of dictatorial social norms. The actors vogue; Vittorio Storaro's lens transforms every street and room into a catalytic baroqueness; the clothes grip the characters like iconic mantlesto a large degree, the film is an immaculate puppet play about the tension between pleasure (stylistic, sexual, etc.) and imposed duty. If all Bertolucci did was sit Storaro (again, his accomplishment may be the apex of color cinematography) and ironic-heartbreaking composer Georges Delerue at a table and give them drinks, he might've done enough. But there's a fire underneath the tailored rump of The Conformist that begs the question of Bertolucci's subsequent careerwha happen? Had he shot his load, thereafter only thinking to undress his actresses?
Not our problem, but the movie is ours: the streetlight-burnished Roman streets, the leaves blowing on Marcello's mother's seedy estate, the continental train ride with a sunset movie playing outside and casting its glow on the honeymooners, the dance hall dyke waltz cum Brueghel wedding party, the assassination on the Alpine mountain road. Count your blessings.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
Patricia, our guide,was excellent. As we were early, the galleries were a pleasure to view without crowds. In fact, in some galleries there were no others present but our small group of 10. Before entering the Sistine Chapel, Patricia gave us an excellent overview of details in the Sistine which enhanced our viewing pleasure. I would strongly recommend these tours.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
It was a wonderful experience. Our guide was informative without overwhelming us with facts. Areas of interest and beauty were highlighted. Excellent restaurants with spectacular views were recommended and did not disappoint. We had ample time to explore the villages and eat the gelato . The small group, there were 5 of us, makes for a friendly, shared experience without feeling herded and laden down with quiet voxes.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
Marco was an excellent guide with a wonderful knowledge of art history. He highlighted various art works, outlining development from Byzantine icons to the works of Michaelangelo and Fra Filippo Lippi. He made the best of a difficult situation - hordes in the Uffizi - but ensured that we heard him and had our questions answered. The visit to the Corridor was interesting and a welcomed escape from the crowds. He made the visit worthwhile.

The John Murray Show
A lively mix of entertainment, human interest and lifestyle features with Kathryn Thomas
A lively mix of entertainment, human interest and lifestyle features with Kathryn Thomas
It was two months ago, the visit of Michelle Obama & her daughters, Sasha & Malia & the most memorable visit of the three been lead around Glendalough, Co. Wicklow & the man who gave that tour, George McClafferty joins Kathryn on the line this morning. George tells of the surprise he got when a limo pulled up outside his office the other day.
In a few minutes we'll be talking to a former Taoiseach about his passion for Bob Dylan music but first in studio with Kathryn is Tony Clayton Lea who writes for the Irish Times.
'Aside from, possibly, the back catalogue of The Beatles, the songs of Bob Dylan have been squinted at & analysed more intensively than any others in pop music. It is testament to their enduring eloquence, wit and insight that much of Dylan's 1960s material remains such a puzzle.'
Tony wrote that following the release on Dylan's last album - The Bootleg Series No 9 & 'The Bootleg Series, Vol 10 - Another Self Portrait' is released today. Tony joins Kathryn to review the album & look at Dylan's enduring impact and appeal & we are also joined on the line by former Taoiseach, John Bruton, a big Dylan fan!
Earlier in the year we teamed up with Kazoo Independent Publishing Services & the RTE Guide to give you an opportunity to publish THAT book you may have written but could never get published. Kathryn is joined by the finalists on the line & in studio are two of the judges, author & Director, Ferdia Ferdia MacAnna & Bob Johnston, owner of the Gutter Book Shop.
On the line are finalists Yvonne Turner, Finian Coloe, Dave Graham & James Butler, four of the five five finalists selected.
Yesterday on programme you would have heard Sophie Fontanel talk about her book 'The Art of Sleeping Alone' & of her decision of taking a sabbatical from sex for 12 years after a series of dissatisfactory encounters. We received a huge reaction toher & one woman who could relate to her experience was Marie, who joins Kahtyrn on the line.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ATLANTA -- State Sen. Freddie Powell Sims, D-Dawson, said that her bill to merge the governments of Albany and Dougherty County will proceed to the House without changes to two controversial elements.
Sims introduced Senate Bill 538 in the Senate last week where it was read and referred to the State and Local Government Operations committee.
But the bill, as it currently stands, contains two provisions that have generated considerable buzz in the district.
The first item, which was discovered by The Herald the day the bill was posted on the Senate's Web site, would double the pay for both the commission and the CEO/Mayor upon completion of a mandated certification process.
According to the bill, "the members of the commission shall be compensated at the rate of $15,000.00 per year from funds of Albany-Dougherty County. Upon attaining certification as either a certified county commissioner or as a certified municipal official pursuant to completion of a voluntary course of training administered by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, each commissioner shall be compensated an additional $15,000 per year. A commissioner who is certified at the time of taking office shall automatically receive the higher rate of compensation."
That language was described by city leaders as an inadvertent error and Herald staff has found no written record where a $15,000 pay raise for commissioners or a $25,000 pay raise for the CEO was ever discussed or voted on by city commissioners.
The other item involves a Georgia House rule that forbids bills that affect partisanship of elected offices from being considered local legislation and would require that the bill meet the crossover day deadline which has already expired. If the House imposes the rule, the bill would die until the next session in January 2011.
Sims said Tuesday that she made a promise to local elected officials that if they presented her with their wishes in terms of a charter for consolidation she would present it, and she feels she has met that obligation.
"I have not made any changes on anything that was sent here and I don't plan on making any," she said. "What was sent up here was the will of the city commission and I will honor that."
"When it goes to the House, if they want to amend it, or adjust it, they can do that and I'll be fine with whatever they decide to do," Sims said.
Sims said that, in terms of House Rule 50, that she believes since its a House rule that the delegates in the House would know best how to deal with it.
"Since its a House rule, it needs to be changed in the House," she said. "And if needs to be changed, I'm OK with it."
The bill is now waiting to move through the SLGO committee before it will be passed by the full Senate. It would then head over to the House and into the Intragovernmental Cooperation Committee.
That committee, chaired by Rep. Ed Rynders, R-Leesburg, will check the bill to make sure it passes muster on House Rules before it has the opportunity to move out into the full house.
Sims said that she is confident that the measure will make it through the House and leave the General Assembly bound for the U.S. Justice Department which must then approve the maps and the district lines before it can move on for a referendum.

The menu and boxlike premises looked promising. The latter felt a bit like an art gallery, dominated by a humongous Kmart still-life showing fruit spilling out of a bowl. (The painting remained wrapped in clear plastic to preserve its pristine beauty.) Implanted in the same room, the kitchen gobbled up half the floor space, demarcated by a line of stools and a sit-down counter that encouraged hangers-on to kibitz with the cooks, often numbering three at one time in the packed space. Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble.
In that kitchen presided three generations of women. The oldest, hair pulled back in a bun, was attending to a green mole in a cauldron on the stove that enveloped her in steam, while her tattooed and pierced younger associate patted masa into huaraches, the masa snacks inspired by a tire-tread sandal, long a favorite of hippie tourists in Mexico. Meanwhile, the ponytailed youngest of the brood commuted between kitchen and dining area on a pink scooter. It was lunchtime on a weekday, and two hipsters sat in a corner munching tortas, the Mexican sandwiches made out of torpedo-shaped rolls called bolillos.

Region: Brooklyn
Testing the waters, I ordered a pair of $2 tacos from a list that included the conventional choices: cecina (salt beef), bistec (razor-thin steak), pollo (chicken), carne enchilada (spicy stewed pork), tinga (fiery Pueblan chicken), chorizo (skinless sausage), vegetariano (cheese and refried beans), al pastor (marinated pork gyro), suadero (stewed beef), carnitas (sautéed pork tidbits), and the Santana taco, offered with no description. (No variety meats like tripe, pig face, or goat eyes were available, alas!) Finding myself in a meaty mood, I went for the carnitas and suadero.
My heart sank when the tacos arrived. Instead of the usual southern Mexican presentation of meat in two soft corn tortillas with chopped raw onions and cilantro, these came topped instead with shredded iceberg and crema, the ambiguous runny substance that provides lubrication but little flavor. Still, the meat fillings looked profuse and tasty, and the homemade chipotle hot sauce on the sidewhich glowed with an arresting orange coloradded more than enough flavor. Ya-hoo!
On a couple of further visits, I brought armies of Mexican-food enthusiasts, mainly Williamsburg artists and writers. Despite its incredible length, the menu devolves into a number of set formulations. Running parallel to the taco list are a series of snacks made with fresh masa such as one finds at the Red Hook ballfields, including sopes, huaraches, and quesadillasthe latter emphatically not the bar-food staple of stacked flour tortillas oozing Velveeta. Instead, Pueblan quesadillas are hand-patted rounds of fresh masa dough folded over fillings as a kind of rustic, free-form taco. Like the tacos, they get the same iceberg and crema treatment. One remedy for this, I later discovered, is to ask that "everything" be put on the tacos, which will include raw onion and cilantro.
Mining the menu, I discovered many gems. The enchiladas bandera ($6) mimic the Mexican flag: four steak-stuffed corn tortillas banded, from left to right, with green mole, crema, and red mole. The green is beyond wonderful, a homemade sauce rife with desert herbs like papalo and epazote, the latter conferring a slightly bitter edge. Cemitas ($4.50) are giant, round Pueblan sandwiches on seeded rolls like French brioches, opulently dressed with avocados and chipotles. The filling of choice for cemitas is milanesa, named after Milan, Italy. Basically, it's a beef wiener schnitzel.
And the taco Santana ($3)? It's a giant, freshly made tortilla folded like a gentleman's pocket handkerchief and overstuffed with carnitas, chiles, avocados, cilantro, and onions. Unique to Williamsburg, it's everything you want a taco to be, and more.

LUMBERTON — As they've done for centuries, children across Robeson County will search high and low for colorful eggs this afternoon.
Easter egg hunts have long been synonymous with the holiday, and the origins of this beloved childhood tradition can be traced back to early Christians' use of the egg as a tool to symbolize the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the 1800s, Protestant German immigrants introduced Americans to holiday folklore involving an egg-laying hare that rewarded good children with gifts. As a result, egg hunts are now commonly associated with the Easter Bunny.
While certain aspects of the activity have changed though the years — the widespread adoption of plastic eggs filled with candy over the ornately painted, organic eggs of yore, for example — the appeal of scavenging for eggs has endured.
On April 12, an Easter egg hunt for children with special health care needs was held outside the Robeson County Parks and Recreation Department on Kenny Biggs Road in Lumberton. From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., about 100 families scoured the grass for more than 1,000 collapsible eggs containing candy and other treats.
April Oxendine, the Innovative Approaches Initiative coordinator for the Robeson County Department of Public Health, helped organize the event.
"For most of our kids, this was their first Easter egg hunt," she said. "Because of their health care needs, they're usually not able to participate in egg hunts."
Oxendine believes that much of the appeal in hunting for eggs is sensory for children.
"For a child, it's fun and different to see all of those eggs with different colors, shapes and textures out there. It's a thrill for them," she said. "I still enjoy it myself."
Sue Hudson, a reverend at St. Pauls Presbyterian Church on North Old Stage Road, has a different theory as to why children continue to delight in stuffing their wicker baskets with eggs.
An Easter egg hunt was held outside the church on Saturday afternoon.
"I remember dieing Easter eggs with my mother when I was little," she said. "I loved decorating eggs with my mom and hunting for them and I've passed that on my children."
Hudson likened hunting for Easter eggs to playing with old cardboard boxes. Both activities are inexpensive to set up and take advantage of children's' boundless imaginations.
But children aren't the only people who get ecstatic about Easter eggs.
Farms across the state traditionally see a boon in sales during the weeks leading up to Easter, according to Jan Kelly, executive director of the North Carolina Egg Association in Cary.
"It's still a family tradition to dye and hide Easter eggs," she said. "We know that deviled eggs are a popular dish for family get-togethers, so we also see an increase in entertaining which always brings about an increase in consumption."
Though some people may consider plastic eggs to be a bit more practical, Kelly said nothing can compete with the real thing.
"We have tried to encourage people to continue that tradition [of hunting for real eggs] because it's more fun to do with children and grandchildren than hunting for boring plastic eggs," she said. "Plus, you have food left over."

MidaZ The BEAST ft. Sabac Red & Blueprint - Seeing Is Believing
Artist: MidaZ The BEAST
Featuring: Blueprint
Producer: IMAKEMADBEATS
Album: AU: Another Universe
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 5 votes )
Trusting your eyes might have made sense in a pre-televisual society, but contemporary strategies of media manipulation have rendered sight just as unreliable as the other four senses. On a new single off his latest street album, the Brooklynite calls into question the common wisdom that Seeing Is Believing, urging listeners to maintain a healthy skepticism with regard to anything taking place on the TV screen—or, better yet, to turn off the tube entirely. Joining MidaZ over IMAKEMADBEATS's screaming guitar riffs and stuttering boom-bap backbeat, Non Phixion alumnus Sabat Red and Ohio rhymesayer Blueprint echo the headliner's incredulity in aggressive guest 16s. I could tell you how dope the DJBooth-hosted AU: Another Universe LP is, but why take my word for it when you can hear it for yourself? Released in mid-August, the project is available now for free streaming and digital purchase.

VA apologizes to whistleblowers facing retaliation
Thursday - 7/10/2014, 3:32am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A top official at the Veterans Affairs Department says he is sorry that VA employees have suffered retaliation after making complaints about poor patient care, long wait times and other problems.
James Tuchschmidt, the No. 2 official at the Veterans Health Administration, the VA's health care arm, apologized on behalf of the department at a congressional hearing Tuesday night.
"I apologize to everyone whose voice has been stifled," Tuchschmidt said after listening to four VA employees testify for nearly three hours about VA actions to limit criticism and strike back against whistleblowers. "That's not what I stand for. I'm very disillusioned and sickened by all of this."
A federal investigative agency said Tuesday it was examining 67 claims of retaliation by VA supervisors against employees who filed whistleblower complaints -- including 25 complaints filed since June 1, after a growing health care scandal involving long patient waits and falsified records at VA hospitals and clinics became public.
The independent Office of Special Counsel said 30 of the complaints about retaliation have passed the initial review stage and were being investigated further for corrective action and possible discipline against VA supervisors and other executives. The complaints were filed in 28 states at 45 separate facilities, Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner said.
Instead of using information provided by whistleblowers as an early warning system, the VA often "has ignored or attempted to minimize problems, allowing serious issues to fester and grow," Lerner told the House Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing. Worse, officials have retaliated against whistleblowers instead of investigating their complaints, she said.
Lerner said her office has been able to block disciplinary actions against several VA employees who reported wrongdoing, including one who reported a possible crime at a VA facility in New York.
The counsel's office also reversed a suspension for a VA employee in Hawaii who reported seeing an elderly patient being improperly restrained in a wheelchair. The whistleblower was granted full back pay and an unspecified monetary award, and the official who retaliated against the worker was suspended, Lerner said.
The VA said earlier Tuesday it was restructuring its Office of Medical Inspector following a scathing report by Lerner's agency last month.
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said the department would appoint an interim director of the medical inspector's office from outside the current office and was suspending the office's hotline immediately. All complaints would be referred to the VA's Office of Inspector General.
The head of the medical inspector's office retired June 30 following a report by the Office of Special Counsel saying that his office played down whistleblower complaints pointing to "a troubling pattern of deficient patient care" at VA facilities.
"Intimidation or retaliation -- not just against whistleblowers, but against any employee who raises a hand to identify a problem, make a suggestion or report what may be a violation in law, policy or our core values -- is absolutely unacceptable," Gibson said in a statement. "I will not tolerate it in our organization."
A doctor at the Phoenix veterans hospital, where dozens of veterans died while on waiting lists for appointments, said she was harassed and humiliated after complaining about problems at the hospital.
Dr. Katherine Mitchell said the hospital's emergency room was severely understaffed and could not keep up with "the dangerous flood of patients" there. Mitchell, a former co-director of the Phoenix VA hospital's ER, told the House committee that strokes, heart attacks, internal head bleeding and other serious medical problems were missed by staffers "overwhelmed by the glut of patients."
Her complaints about staffing problems were ignored, Mitchell said, and she was transferred, suspended and reprimanded.
Mitchell, a 16-year veteran at the Phoenix VA, now directs a program for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans at the hospital. She said problems she pointed out to supervisors put patients' lives at risk.
"It is a bitter irony that our VA cannot guarantee high-quality health care in the middle of cosmopolitan Phoenix" to veterans who survived wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and Korea, she said.
Scott Davis, a program specialist at the VA's Health Eligibility Center in Atlanta, said he was placed on involuntary leave after reporting that officials were "wasting millions of dollars" on a direct mail marketing campaign to promote the health care overhaul signed by President Barack Obama. Davis also reported the possible purging and deletion of at least 10,000 veterans' health records at the Atlanta center. More records and documents could be deleted or manipulated to mask a major backlog and mismanagement, Davis said. Those records would be hard to identify because of computer-system integrity issues, he said.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Bruce Ramsay's fun-size Hamlet is notable for its omissions, cutting out poetry, politics, dialogue, characters, and famous scenes, and putting the focus on a fucked-up family.
It's a tidy 90 minutes that crams the play's events into a single evening, locks Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the yard, and leaves Yorick respectfully interred.
Shakespeare's plays are like Colorform playsets in which the characters can be stuck on basically any backdrop — the Upper West Side, 1920s gangland, World War II, or the inside of Baz Luhrmann's brain, for instance.
22 E. 12th St.
New York, NY 10003
Category: Movie Theaters
Region: East Village
Ramsay, who wrote and directed and plays mopey ol' Hamlet, opts for a vague gesture at Downton Abbey with waistcoats, braces, some lesser English estate, and a single old-timey car.
The generic surroundings and the deliberately unstudied photography emphasize the drama, but the setting doesn't evoke any particular contemporary frisson. If the Edwardian costumes hadn't been available, Ramsay could well have set it in the existential whiteness of a Progressive Insurance ad. Skipping preliminaries, Hamlet arrives home and immediately bones Ophelia against the wall ("in honorable fashion," ha ha), and stalks around the gloomy mansion engaging family in fast-paced confrontations.
So why isn't this adaptation sweatier, madder, more bloody and breathless? Peter Wingfield delivers an engagingly oily Claudius, and Lara Gilchrist's Ophelia is radiant.
But Ramsay's Hamlet's madness never really overcomes the character's traditional emo temperament, and anyone who believes the play is a dry sponge isn't going to feel much wetter when the lights come back up.

He told the Evening Gazette: "We've had no interest in Gary, he's said to me he feels more settled so at this moment in time I'm happy to got along with that and hope the situation resolves itself over the summer.
"Like with the players we want to bring in, you'd like those situations resolved in time for pre-season but that's not always possible.
"Gary's somebody that's contracted to us that we don't want to lose.
"He assures me it's not a problem and hopefully that's the case."

Last week we had several Microsoft Game Studios MVP's tour our offices, a few of which are MVP's due to their involvement with Aces. It was good to see Owen and Joel in the halls chatting with team members.
Owen spent some time with Brandon and I for a little while and I had him try his hand at a multi-player Red Bull race. I was surprised at how well he did for his first time and he seemed to have a really good time. It was fun seeing someone other than a team member partake in some FSX Adrenaline and provide direct feedback. Soon we will be conducting tests with Microsoft employees that are flight sim fans and then we will start bringing in Flight Sim users outside of Microsoft, so we will be getting a lot more feedback soon.
Last week I also finished hooking up a new single player "pursuit" mission that I was really enjoying. I employed some random AI paths that helps replay value and varies the challenges slightly each time. This week I need to start hooking up a helicopte rmission using some of our new systems.
Hopefully tomorrow the new Mustang racing engine model will get checked along with associated racing failures when you push it too hard. I will be fun and interesting flying fast around the course at Reno while keeping the engine in one piece.
Hi Paul,
Many thanks for the mention, and thanks again for letting me bug you guys a bit - it was great getting to see what all the hype is about, and I'm here to say that it is very much deserved!
Cool, thanks Owen!

2003 BEST Sushi, West
Oishii Sushi Bar
You'll likely be saying "oishii" (Japanese for "delicious") after one bite of the fresh, flavorful sushi from this Chestnut Hill hot spot. The restaurant may have barely a dozen seats, but the long waits for a table here are quickly forgotten when the food arrives. The care and attention given to each piece of handcut, glistening, ruby-red tuna belly or light-as-a-feather crunchy tempura is meticulous. Besides, it's all available (and just as good) to go. Not counting combination plates, soups, or teriyakis, there are more than 50 options on the menu, including everything from California rolls to "alligator maki." While there's no real alligator inside, the roll is a delicious adventure in eel, fish eggs, crispy shrimp, and avocado.

A friend of the accused Boston Marathon bomber charged with obstructing the investigation into the blasts likely did not understand his right not to speak to police during hours of questioning four days after the attack, a linguistic expert said on Monday.
Lawyers for the friend, Kazakh exchange student Dias Kadyrbayev, are trying to persuade a federal judge to throw out statements he made under interrogation in a police station, saying his comments were not voluntary.
Kadyrbayev's understanding of English was too rudimentary for him to have understood paperwork presented by federal agents informing him that he had a right to remain silent, said Temple University linguist Aneta Pavlenko.
"It was highly unlikely that at the time of interrogation Mr. Kadyrbayev had the linguistic proficiency to understand the Miranda warning," Pavlenko testified at U.S. District Court in Boston.
Kadyrbayev is one of three college friends of accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev charged with hampering the investigation by going to the suspect's dormitory room at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth three days after the attack and removing a laptop and backpack containing empty fireworks shells.
Three people were killed and 264 injured at the historic Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.
During hearings last month, law enforcement officials testified that four days after the blasts, armed federal agents ordered Kadyrbayev and fellow Kazakh Azamat Tazhayakov to leave their apartment and took them to a state police barracks where they were questioned for hours.
Kadyrbayev's lawyers argue his statements during that time should not be admitted at his upcoming trial because he had no attorney present and did not understand the consequences of speaking with agents. One agent testified that Kadyrbayev told him he suspected Tsarnaev had been involved in the attack.
Kadyrbayev is expected to testify on Monday about his comprehension.
Tazhayakov's attorneys dropped a similar request, saying they did not want their client to testify ahead of a trial scheduled to start in September.
Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov, both charged with obstruction of justice, could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. A third friend, Robel Phillipos of Cambridge, Massachusetts, faces up to 16 years if convicted of the less serious charge of lying to investigators.
Tsarnaev, who also is accused of killing a university police officer in a shootout three days after the bombings, is awaiting trial in a prison west of Boston. He faces the possibility of execution if convicted. His brother, Tamerlan, also was suspected in the marathon bombing and was killed in a shootout with police.

Lose yourself in the mighty cliffs and colorful canyons of the Southwest on this four-day tour of Arizona.
The Destination
When you think of Arizona, you think of the Grand Canyon, an undeniably iconic destination that inspires awe in its five million annual visitors. But there's plenty more to love about our country's 48th state.
Square in the heart of Arizona, Prescott is nothing if not proud of its past. And as the former state capital, why shouldn't it be? Boasting more than 800 buildings now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including a 19th-century saloon and dozens of grand Victorian houses, it's also home to the World's Oldest Rodeo, going strong since 1888.
And then there's Sedona, where large sandstone monoliths dominate the skyline—providing a striking backdrop for a desert town that lives as much of life outdoors as possible. The Red Rocks of Sedona ignite in fiery oranges and pinks in the light of sunrise and sunset, but this city has a lot more color where that came from. Originally inhabited by the Yavapai and Apache tribes, Sedona has since become a colony for artists, cowboys, and adventurers alike.
