Tulsa Roof Gets Makeover for Upcoming Election
By Renae Powers
Tulsa's Kenny Nipp painted his roof in support for President Obama's re-election. He realized Tulsa's Democratic Headquarters didn't have a sign big enough for his yard. Nipp wants to tell surrounding Democrats they're not alone.
Nipp has gotten tons of support and backlash for this move. He is upset and believes everyone is entitled to their opinion of their political party. Nipp says he'd never wish ill will on Republicans and might give a helping hand to someone that wants to paint their roof for Romney.
Nipp wants other supporters to stand up in this Republican-dominating state. The roof will remain painted until the election is over.

NAMPA -- The Idaho State Police are looking for the driver of a semi truck that was involved in a hit-and-run accident on Interstate 84 in Nampa this morning.
Troopers were called at 6:19 a.m. to investigate an injury crash on I-84 near milepost 35, the Northside exit in Nampa.
Police say 54-year-old Leann Miller of Caldwell was westbound in the right lane in a 2002 Ford Taurus and was attempting to change lanes. At the same time, a semi truck attempted to move into the same lane and struck the back of Miller's car.
The impact of the crash caused the Taurus to spin. The rear of the car struck the jersey barrier and the car came to rest in the median of the interstate. Miller was wearing a seatbelt. She was treated by medical personnel at the scene.
Police were not able to locate the semi involved in the crash.

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Congratulations to the Family Equality Council on a new video celebrating the "Outspoken Generation" of children of glbtq parents. Prompted by the prominence of concern for the children of gay and lesbian parents in Justice Anthony Kennedy's historic opinion in Windsor v. United States, the Family Equality Council has released a new video showcasing the voices of these children many of whom--such as Ella Robinson and Zach Wahls--have become prominent activists in the struggle for equal rights.
The Family Equality Council is an outgrowth of the Gay Fathers Coalition, which was founded in 1979 as a support network by a group of gay fathers. In 1986, it expanded to include lesbian mothers, and in 2007 became the Family Equality Coalition, the name change representing its goal of securing equality for all families.
In 1988, the Family Pride Coalition organized a meeting at their annual conference for children of glbtq parents. A year later, similar workshops were offered, which prompted the youth to form their own steering committee with the intent to start their own organization devoted to their own needs and interests.
Initially called Just for Us, the group changed its name to COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere) in 1993. At that time it produced a newsletter that reached approximately 500 families as its primary means of supporting children of glbtq families across the nation.
In 1995, COLAGE opened a national office in San Francisco with an all-volunteer staff. As the organization grew and began to incorporate children of bisexual and transgender parents into its programs, it also began to foster and support a number of local chapters, all the while preserving its youth-centered focus. It became an official non-profit in 1999 and now supports a full-time, professional staff, but COLAGE continues to address the needs of children of glbtq parents from their own perspectives. It is now the primary organization in the country that does so.
Many of the children of glbtq parents have come to assert themselves as members of the larger glbtq community even if they themselves are heterosexual. Some have embraced the term queerspawn as a means of incorporating the campy irreverence of queer activism into their own identities.
In the newly released video, children of glbtq parents speak of their experience growing up in gay and lesbian families.

Product description
Presenting the results of new research and fresh approaches, the historians whose work is highlighted here seek to extend new thinking about the way imperial Russian history is studied and taught. Populating their essays are a varied lot of ordinary Russians of the 18th and 19th centuries: a luxury-loving merchant and his extended family, reform-minded clerics, peasant resettlers, soldiers on the frontier, amateur ethnographers, lesser nobles of the provinces and the capitals, founders of the Russian Geographic Society. In contrast to much of traditional historical writing on Imperial Russia, which focused heavily on the causes of its demise, the contributors to this volume investigate the people and institutions that kept imperial Russia functioning over a long period of time. Eschewing grand historical narratives for mini-stories of politics, culture, institutions, or family life, the essays open new directions for scholars and students seeking a better understanding of RussiaOs fascinating past.

DENVER - The Easter Bunny made a visit to the Food Bank of the Rockies Thursday to celebrate donated eggs by entertaining over 100 children and enjoying a free omelet breakfast with the families.
Colorado farmers donated a generous amount of eggs to local food banks for the Easter holiday. Farmers belonging to the Colorado Egg Producers Association want to ensure at risk families have eggs for Easter.
The CEP donated more than 335,000 eggs to food banks all over Colorado. More than 280,000 were given to Food Bank of the Rockies in Denver.
"Because of Easter right around the corner, we found it to be appropriate that eggs, being a high-quality, affordable protein, be in the mix just before Easter," CEP President Jerry Wilkins said.
Kids won many different prizes at Thursday's event, including two new bicycles.
This is the sixth year in a row that the CEP has teamed up with local food banks to feed people around the state. This partnership will serve more than 650,000 people who are at risk of hunger in Colorado.
The CEP said they were honored to team up with the Colorado food banks for this program.

Underneath the Arches (song)
"Underneath the Arches" is a 1932 popular song[1] with words and music by Bud Flanagan, and additional lyrics by Reg Connelly.[2] It was one of the most famous songs of the duo Flanagan and Allen.
According to a television programme broadcast in 1957, Bud Flanagan said that he wrote the song in Derby in 1927, and first performed it a week later at the Pier Pavilion, Southport.[3] It refers to the arches of Friar Gate railway bridge and to the homeless men who slept there during the Great Depression.[4]
The song has also been covered by Primo Scala, The Andrews Sisters, and Andy Russell in the United States. A well-known version in the United Kingdom was made by Max Bygraves. A sequel to the song Where the Arches Used To Be was sung by Flanagan and Allen in the film A Fire Has Been Arranged in which the arches are knocked down and flats built in their place.
The Primo Scala recording, with The Keynotes, was released by London Records as catalog number 238. The record first reached the Billboard charts on August 6, 1948, and lasted 16 weeks on the chart, peaking at #6.[5]
The Andrews Sisters' recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 24490 (the flip side of their recording of You Call Everybody Darlin'). The record first reached the Billboard charts on August 27, 1948, and lasted 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at #10.[5]
The Andy Russell recording was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 15183. The record first reached the Billboard charts on October 1, 1948 and lasted 5 weeks on the chart, peaking at #21.[5]
In 1968 Australian pop singer, Johnny Farnham, covered the track, as his second single, which reached No. 6 on the Go-Set National Top 40 Singles Chart.[6] In 1970 the artist duo Gilbert & George performed the song in Nigel Greenwood Gallery, which launched their career as "singing and living sculptures".
The song is used in the television mini-series A Perfect Spy, based on the John le Carré novel, while father and son (the key figures) are running under arches near a British beach. It was also the signature tune for the Radio London Underneath the Arches programme.

Franklin County Humane Society Launches New Identity:
Franklin County Animal Rescue
St. Albans, VT --- Franklin County Animal Rescue (FCAR), formerly the Franklin County Humane Society, is celebrating 2015 with the launch of their new name and new logo!
"Our name change reflects a more accurate representation of the shelter's focus, states Executive Director Rusty Posner, continuing, "As shelter services continue to be redefined and needs reassessed, we want our message to the community to be clear."
This summer marked the FCAR's 50th year in operation. With this anniversary comes a re-focused and enthusiastic review of their important role within the community. Their plans include stronger outreach and educational efforts, and more robust public awareness around adoption campaigns and the importance of adopting a rescued pet.
"There is no question that FCAR fills a very distinct need within our community," states FCAR Board President Adam Fitzgerald. During "Maddie's Adoption Days," held earlier this year, over 90 adoptions were finalized in one weekend alone. The shelter's spay/neuter program is one of their most highly requested services, as are their annual rabies clinics. And, the shelter is responsible for reuniting hundreds of lost pets with their owners.
Founded in 1964, FCAR has grown from a volunteer program to a locally managed and staffed non-profit organization, funded entirely through private donations. A temporary home primarily to dogs and cats in transition, the shelter provides humane care, a safe environment and medical treatment until animals can be placed in secure and permanent homes.

Frankfurt Motor Show: our favourites
Top Gear's resident experts with our picks from Germany
Posted: 13 Sep 2013
Jason Barlow, Editor-at-large, Top Gear magazine
BMW i3
Frankfurt is so vast that some of the car companies lay on press shuttles for weary/lazy/obese hacks. I normally walk, but this year I couldn't resist trying the back seat of one of the BMW i3s that were scooting silently about. Heavily trailed during the past few years it may have been, but the i3 still feels like the future has finally arrived. Tesla's excellent Model S has moved the dial, but BMW's i cars will prove to be the definitive tipping point for the electric car
Jaguar C-X17 (above)
Honestly, I didn't really want to like it. Conceptually it's not really a game-changer, although it will be for Jaguar's sales volumes. But when these start hitting the road in 2016, the 'want one' factor is going to be sky high. Fantastically cool interior, too
Volvo Cross Coupe
It's just very, very pretty. It also introduces Volvo's new 'scaleable' architecture, so all the big news is under the skin. But what a skin it is

Kate Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow hit the glamorous red carpet of the National Movie Awards in London on Wednesday night in startlingly chic style. Gwyneth rocked a color-popping, constructed hot pink Prada mini with matching Christian Louboutin peep-toed heels, which elongated her famous legs. Finishing the look off with a beaded, jade necklace and a flawlessly made up face, the Iron Man 2 beauty was definitely a DO.

Katie Holmes got sassy in stripes, looking long and lean in a black and white, spaghetti-strapped floorlength from her Holmes & Yang Collection, which she paired with edgy booties. Towering over hubby Tom Cruise, the gorgeous brunette looked as glam as can be.

Diane Kruger was also dressed a la mode, wearing an uber-embellished, metallic Lanvin mini with chain heels from the same collection. The fresh-faced star toted hunky beau Joshua Jackson along.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)'s new accounting standard, Accounting Standard No. 16, seeks to bolster the relationship between audit committees and outside auditors, especially by encouraging ongoing, two-way tailored communications, as opposed to after-the-fact or boiler-plate notices. Auditing Standard No. 16, adopted August 15, 2012, was issued in light of requirements in Sarbanes-Oxley and the Dodd-Frank Act that relate to oversight and accounting, and replaces interim standards AU section 380 and AU section 310. The SEC is expected to approve the new rule, which could become effective as early as December of this year depending on the timing of SEC approval.
The new standard pushes audit committees and auditors to begin discussions early, and address areas that arise prior to the issuance of the auditor's report. These discussions should cover a variety of topics, including, the responsibilities of the auditor, the terms of the audit, the information required by the auditor and audit committee to conduct their investigation, the strategy and timing of the audit, and real-time observations about the progress of the audit while it is still ongoing. Notably, this new guidance rejects the earlier standards set in AU sec. 380 that minimized the importance of auditor-audit committee communications.
Auditing Standard No. 16 also promotes proactive disclosure to auditors, and pushes audit committees to disclose what knowledge they may have of potential audit issues, including possible violations of laws or regulations. Auditors are also encouraged to share what they learn with the committees, disclosing not only the results of the audit, but also any controversial accounting areas, unusual transactions, assessments of the company's accounting policies and practices, and any disagreements with management, among other topics.

From the Publisher
Beautifully written! The author has succeeded in relaying technical theatre information without being too technical and putting the reader to sleep. I read three sentences and instantly knew this book was for me and the way I teach. When I think back on the insufferable intro to tech theatre books I had to read, I feel cheated I didn't have this one as a student. I will be using this text in my class! -- Rob Napoli, Designer and Technical Director at Penn State University, Berks Campus
This text has temped me to return to teaching with a textbook for the first time in seven years. The language is both accessible and informal yet the text goes a long way in debunking some of the typical jargon that may alienate students just getting into the field, or trying it out for the first time. The illustrations (the text is full of them) coupled with the stories reinforce the fundamental information being conveyed. -- John Paul Devlin, Associate Professor of Theatre at Saint Michael's College
What a great idea! Thank heavens someone is doing this for students at that impressionable age. That has been one of my mantras - education of teachers and students on the use of scenic materials. The teachers don't have enough time in college to learn and do everything they have to teach. Most get thrown into the theatre area by default and struggle with designing/building/painting the scenery. -- Jenny Knott, Rosco
Stagecraft Fundamentals is beautifully illustrated throughout, and the pofusion of color on every page gives this textbook the appearance of a coffee table book. The writing is clear and personal, which should be very appealing to students. Rita Carver covers all aspects of theatre production from scenery, to lighting, to an actor's makeup. Her close ties to the New York theatre scene gives this book a special insight into the professional world, one that goes well beyond what is found in most college textbooks. -- John Holloway, Professor in the Theatre Department at the University of Kentucky and President of the International Association of Theatrical stage Employees (IATSE) Local 346.
I can't thank you enough for Stagecraft Fundamentals. I have been teaching stagecraft since 1976 and you have saved me from the nightmare of writing a text to suit my class needs..After two semesters with your text, I have found that I had more time to develop the skills necessary within the classroom than before. The humor that you have infused in the book has enticed my students to read on. That alone makes this text invaluable.
--Meta Lasch, Assistant Professor, West Liberty University
I highly recommend this book to everybody, but don't leave it on your shelf to look good. There is so much useful information in here that it should be on your work table as a great reference...this book will be a great aid to those already working, amateurs and students. Stephen Dean, Ramblings of a Techie

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said here on Thursday that the government was of the view that beliefs should also be taken into consideration with regard to the opening of the remaining vault at Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple here.
Asked about the finding of a 'devaprasnam' at the temple against the opening of the vault, the Chief Minister told the media that the government would communicate its views to the Supreme Court, if asked for. However, the final verdict was to be pronounced by the court.
Mr. Chandy said the government had not received any complaint about pilfering of the riches of the temple by the royal family of erstwhile Travancore. He felt that Leader of the Opposition V.S. Achuthanandan should have avoided the remarks against the current head of the royal family in this regard. The fact that the riches were protected during the reign of the Travancore kings was proof of their trustworthiness.
He said the security measures at the temple would be reviewed on September 5.

MANDEVILLE, La. -- The Re-Find Consignment Store in Old Mandeville is pulling out all the stops and signs to let people know they're open for business.
'I've gotten several phone calls since I've reopened, and they think that we've flooded, so we're trying to get the word out that we're ready for business,' said Lisa Galatoire of the Re-Find Consignment Store.
It's a stark contrast from what other businesses are doing all around Old Mandeville. Isaac's surge splashed up to Monroe Street. The water washed into bars, stores and eateries.
But just a block north, on Livingston, Vianne's Tea House made it out without a scratch.
'A lot of businesses didn't receive any extensive damage, so we're very, very grateful, and there's a lot of mom and pop shops and a lot of locally owned businesses that once we got power back, we were able to open up,' said Kerri Blache of Vianne's Tea House.
There's no question that there are several businesses still down here in Old Mandeville, from the lakefront all the way to Monroe Street, that are still dealing with the disaster.
But for those that are up and running, they want you to know that you're welcome until the area is ready.
'We really do want to open and get things back to normal and invite your customers back, so they have a place to go, their favorite place to visit and eat and dine and shop,' Blache said.
Galatoire said 'we're ready to help people recover.'
And it's not just because the people need it. The cash registers do too.
Some of the businesses that are cleaning up say it could be two months before they're able to open up again.

Fun and games over for Hawks
Andy Hamilton • Iowa City Press-Citizen • March 11, 2009
The NCAA Championships are no time for a close shave.
At least, that seems to be the attitude Iowa's wrestling team is taking into next week's national tournament.
Those goofy-looking mustaches that juniors Daniel Dennis and Jay Borschel had been sporting for more than two months are gone.
This is business time for the top-ranked Hawkeyes. This is when the defending national champions want to look their best.
"It started as a joke and it was just screwing around as a joke," said Dennis, who shaved his mustache Monday night after placing fifth at the Big Ten Championships. "To me, I don't really like joking or screwing around when I'm not winning. It's funny and goofy. It's funny to do as long as you're winning. But it's time to get serious now."
Iowa claimed its second straight Big Ten championship Sunday. Brent Metcalf and Dan Erekson won individual conference titles and nine Hawkeyes qualified for the NCAA meet, which begins March 19 in St. Louis.
All nine earned automatic tickets into the national tournament by placing fifth or better at the Big Ten meet. But two conference champions, two more finalists, a pair of third-place finishes, a couple fourths and a fifth was "too balanced" for Iowa coach Tom Brands.
"We need to be more lopsided toward that championship end," Brands said.
Iowa's nine qualifiers have combined for a gaudy 230-33 record this season. Each of the Hawkeyes has won at least 18 matches and none have lost more than six.
"We've got some capable guys who are motivated and hungry for postseason honors, and those are the guys that you see going to St. Louis," Brands said. "There are nine guys and, individually, every one of them is capable."
Most already have proven it on college wrestling's biggest stage.
Metcalf has won his last 65 matches at 149 pounds, including Sunday's torturing of Penn State's second-ranked Bubba Jenkins that resulted in a second-period fall.
Senior Charlie Falck is a two-time All-American at 125. Borschel (174) and Phil Keddy (184) reached the medal stand last year when the Hawkeyes finished 38.5 points ahead of second-place Ohio State.
Alex Tsirtsis, an All-American in 2007 at 141, is making his fourth trip to the national tournament. Erekson and junior 165-pounder Ryan Morningstar have won matches at the NCAA meet. Dennis and Chad Beatty are Iowa's only first-time qualifiers.
"We're not automatic," Brands said. "We're going to have to earn it, and we better be ready to slug. I think we did a pretty decent, not great, but pretty decent job on Sunday coming back (in the Big Ten consolations)."
No comeback was more impressive or gutsy than Beatty's. The junior sustained a knee injury in Saturday night's semifinal round. Needing a win in the consolation semifinals to clinch fourth place and the conference's last automatic spot in the NCAA meet at 197, Beatty could have opted to default out of the tournament and hope his work throughout the season was good enough for an at-large selection.
"It's very unique when you have a guy do what Chad Beatty did, and that's wrestle when he really had no business being out there in that consolation semifinal match," Brands said. "But he had to do it -- had to because you don't leave it to chance. If you're going to a committee decision, maybe he gets in, maybe he doesn't, but we wouldn't find out until Tuesday or Wednesday. We're at the time of year when you have to be able to come back."
Beatty aggravated the injury after falling behind 2-0 in the first period of his match with Minnesota's Gordon Bierschenk. He regrouped after an injury timeout and pulled out a dramatic 6-3 victory, scoring a takedown and two-point near-fall in the final three seconds.
Beatty said the condition of his knee has improved every day. Perhaps more important, his mind seems to be in good shape.
"It's all how you look at it," Beatty said. "I think what (Iowa assistant) Terry Brands said to me during that match really helped me and made me realize it doesn't matter. I just need to realize it doesn't matter and I've got to get tough and do it."
Dennis had a comeback of a different type. He entered the Big Ten meet ranked No. 1 nationally at 133 before sustaining consecutive losses to Ohio State's Reece Humphrey and Illinois' Jimmy Kennedy. He trailed by three points in the third period against Penn State's Jake Strayer before rallying for an 11-7 win.
Dennis said he doesn't think he "was ready for a battle" at the Big Ten meet. He said he "was trying to win on too much skill and too much technique" rather than making it a hard match for his opponent.
"In all honesty, it can't happen again or the same thing is going to happen," Dennis said. "I have to go out there and get ready to wrestle and make it a hard match for my opponent. I don't really like talking about it that much, but it's something I need to be doing. It's hard to say that because I'm embarrassed I didn't do that. But it's something I can learn from and not let it happen again."

BEST BUY Grant 2007
Best Buy grant written by Sarita Douglas, parent of two elementary students, provided $2500 for purchasing laptop computers.
Arizona Commission on the Arts 2006, 2007 & 2008
Our elementary program has been awarded Arizona Commission on the Arts grants totaling $7,000. We matched the funds for an in depth study of China-including hands-on instruction by a commissioned artist in the cultural aspects of China. The following year, the school spent six weeks immersed in the study of the history of the Earth, during which the students with the help of a team of artists created a three dimensional time line of life on an exterior fence over 50 feet long. In 2008 we were granted funds to study the indigenous peoples of the southwest which will gave our students the opportunity to explore Arizona's earliest communities and our own state's personal history.

11 December 2013 19:17 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS): According to data available on Wednesday, chemical manufacturers Oxea and Dow Chemical Canada seek to raise prices for oxo-alcohols in North America, effective on 1 January or as contracts allow.
Oxea announced off-list price increases of 8 cents/lb ($176/tonne, €128/tonne) for n-butanol (NBA) and isobutanol (IBA) for the US, Canada and Mexico.
Dow is looking to increase list and off-list prices for n-butanol, isobutanol and 2-ethylhexanol (2EH) by 8 cents/lb. Dow specified that the price increase is accompanied by a strict 100% order control, based on average orders for the last six months.
The forward momentum in oxo-alcohol prices has been attributed to recent increases in the costs of feedstock propylene. Manufacturers are looking to get ahead of expected further propylene price increases in the new year.
Eastman Chemical announced its own oxo-alcohol price increases on Monday of 3 cents/lb for n-butanol, isobutanol and 2EH. Eastman cited raw materials as a reason for its price increase.
ICIS-assessed oxo-alcohol prices are at a range of 88-95 cents/lb for n-butanol, 125-130 cents/lb for isobutanol and 100-102 cents/lb for 2-EH.
($1 = €0.73)

Anyone tried the above? (Ultra 20 + Apple 30" + FX3450)
My goal is to connect an Ultra 20 with the FX3450 to an Apple 30" Cinema Display at a resolution of 2560x1600@60Hz. In theory, this should work by altering the xorg.conf file but I wanted to see if anyone has run into this configuration with any success (or if it doesn't work at all with the odd resolution).
The Apple Cinema Display requires the dual link DVI (included on the FX3450) and the Sun Ultra 20 supports the FX3450. Therefore, it looks like all the pieces will fit together and I should be OK. But, there isn't any documentation that I have found (NVIDIA, Apple, or Sun sites or a general Google search) that recognizes this possibility. I saw tompd's post for the 1920x1200@60 which gives me a little more hope. I'm not looking to do a dual head config (yet).
Any thoughts before I pull the trigger and buy the U20 (I have the Display)?

Haven't heard anything back so I'll tread in new waters and let eveyone know what happens.
UPDATE - Ultra20_Apple30Cinema_NVIDIAFX3450
It took forever to order the Sun with the FX3450 because it was not one of their selections. It finally came in yesterday.
I opened the box, hooked everything up, and the display came up and worked as the console. When the desktop started, the login prompt was about 2 feet away from the bottom right hand corner of the screen. I dragged the mouse until I could get to the commandline login selection. I finally did and installed the nvidia drivers.
I then had to do the nvidia pkgrm and delete the path_to_inst and driver_aliases tapdance to get the desktop to come up. It was running at 1280x1024 dpi and 75x75 (default) resolution. I modified my xorg.conf file by simply adding the "2560x1600" as the first field in each "Modes" line for screen 1 (** NVIDIA). It works like a charm with the Dual Channel DVI (1 port).
Time - 2 hours thanks to this forum! Otherwise it probably would have been weeks.
It may be better to configure it a different way but it's working and usually best to use the simplest path. If there are any other suggestions, please forward them but I'm extremely happy for now. Especially seeing I can use the 30" monitor as something other than a large bulky paper weight.
Re: Ultra20_Apple30Cinema_NVIDIAFX3450
Hi. This looks nice. I was thinking of doing the same with a Sun Blade 1500 and one of the Quadro FX cards. Is it possible with the Nvidia drivers to rotate the screen 90 degrees, so that I can work with the 30" in vertical position?
