1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a colour display device for monovalve projectors, especially a trichromatic device, and to its method of production.
2. Discussion of the Background
In order to obtain large-sized video pictures, one alternative solution to the cathode-ray tube, which then becomes heavy and bulky, is projection using liquid-crystal valves (liquid-Crystal Display or LCD). An LCD projector operates according to the principle of a slide projector, the LCD valve or valves replacing the slides.
The colour picture may be obtained either from three monochromatic screens each illuminated by one of the three primaries, red, green or blue, or by a single valve whose pixels (picture elements) are equipped with colour filters which transmit only one of the primaries. One colour point then consists of three monochromatic subpixels.
The architecture of a monovalve projector, which uses a single valve with colour filters, is very simple. It comprises a lamp, an LCD valve and a projection objective. However, it also has a certain number of drawbacks including:
a low light yield: approximately 2/3 of the light is stopped by the colour filters which let through only a single colour for which they have, in addition, a non-negligible absorption;
the LCD valve is difficult to produce, on account of the delicate technology of colour filters inserted into the liquid-crystal cells.
The invention relates to a liquid-crystal-monovalve colour display device enabling these drawbacks to be alleviated.
The invention therefore relates to a colour display device characterized in that it comprises:
at least one light source emitting several primary wavelengths;
an array of holographic lenses;
a spatial light modulator comprising one pixel (picture element) per lens, each pixel comprising one subpixel per primary wave to be displayed;
each lens in the array dispersing and focusing the various primaries, each in a subpixel.
The invention also relates to a method of producing a colour display device, characterized in that:
a layer of a holographic material is produced;
a reference light wave and at least one cylindrical or spherical light wave are made to interfere in the layer of holographic material, both these waves having the same recording wavelength, thus producing at least one holographic lens which can be read again by a second light wave under conditions close to the Bragg conditions;
a spatial light modulator is associated in the focal plane of the holographic lens for a chosen wavelength.
The various subjects and characteristics of the invention will appear more clearly in the following description given by way of example and in the appended figures which represent:
FIG. 1, an embodiment of the device according to the invention;
FIG. 2a, a method of recording an array of holographic lenses;
FIG. 2b, the reading of the material recorded in FIG. 2a;
FIGS. 3 and 4, the reading with various wavelengths of a recorded lens;
FIG. 5, a cross-section in the plane of the spatial light modulator of a trichromatic beam after passing through a holographic lens according to the invention;
FIGS. 6 to 8, the application of the invention to quads.
Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the device of the invention will now be described.
This device comprises:
a white source S comprising an optical system of the known art for collimating the light emitted by the source;
a matrix HML of holographic microlenses HL enabling various wavelengths contained in the light emitted by the source to be selectively focused. Preferably, these wavelengths correspond to red, green and blue;
a spatial light modulator, such as a liquid-crystal valve LCD controlled by trichromatic video signals RGB applied to the subpixels which constitutes it but is devoid of colour filters. More precisely, a subpixel of a colour point lies on the path of each beam, each corresponding to a primary focused by a lens in the matrix.
Let us recall that, in trichromatic screens, a pixel (picture element) emitting any light beam consists of three, red, green and blue, subpixels. Such a pixel is generally called a dot.
For one current application, there is just one matrix HML of holographic lenses LH which possesses a spectral bandwidth covering the entire visible spectrum. One elementary lens HL possesses a pupil equivalent to one dot. It is produced by recording the interference pattern between, for example, a monochromatic plane wave PW and a monochromatic spherical wave SW, both waves having a first wavelength λ0 in a photosensitive material M which converts the light intensity modulation into a modulation of its refractive index (FIG. 2a).
After development, the elementary lens HL, illuminated by a plane wave identical (in terms of angle of incidence and wavelength) to the wave PW, diffracts the wave SW' with an efficiency η which may range up to 100%. The lens HL then operates at the Bragg conditions (see FIG. 2b). The wave SW is focused at a point F0. The material parameters to be optimized in order to obtain high efficiency are the thickness d, the index modulation An and the average spacing of the grating recorded.
If the lens HL is illuminated with a beam PW having the same angle of incidence but having another wavelength λ1 ≠λ0, the diffracted wave is focused at a point different from the focal point F0 corresponding to the wave SW'. This chromatic dispersion of the component therefore has the effect of spatially spreading out the spectrum of a beam PW in the focal plane. The set of focal points corresponding to the visible wavelengths lies along a curve called the spectrum locus. FIG. 3 gives, by way of example, a cross-section of the spectrum locus.
The invention exploits this property in order to split the three primaries over the three subpixels of a dot on an LCD screen, as shown in FIG. 4. In this case, the geometrical parameters of the lens are calculated so that the position of the focal points associated with the red, green and blue bands coincides with that of the corresponding subpixels. For a given pupil lens, the parameters to be adjusted are the angle of incidence of the plane wave, called the off-axis angle θi, and the focal length f.
In this case, the black matrix can be used, or possibly precalculated, so as to produce part or all of the colorimetric spectral filtering of the source (cf. FIGS. 4 and 5).
We shall now describe an example of a device associated with an example of a liquid-crystal screen possessing red, green and blue (RGB) subpixels distributed in vertical bands.
Characteristics of the liquid-crystal screen
16/9 format
diagonal D=3.7 inches, i.e. a screen 46 mm in height and 82 mm in length;
distribution of the pixels over 560 lines of 320 RGB dots (960 subpixels). The corresponding subpixel size is therefore 85�85 μm;
aperture ratio of the pixel, through which the light is transmitted, of 45% for the pixel geometry described in FIG. 5. The useful area of a subpixel is 65 μm horizontally and 50 μm vertically.
Geometrical parameters of the holographic lens
Geometrical parameters: Θi and f.
The height of the pupil Φ of an elementary lens in the matrix HML of holographic lenses corresponds to the height of 3 pixels, i.e. 3�85 μm in the example. In this example, the focal length will be at least equal to 1100 μm, the current standard thickness of the counter-plate of the liquid-crystal screen LCD.
FIG. 4 shows the operating point associated with the liquid-crystal screen LCD chosen in the example:
f=8�Φ=2040 μm
the focal point on the axis corresponds to λ=535 nm.
The dispersion is adjusted so that each spectral band is distributed spatially within a subpixel. FIG. 5 shows the cross-section through the focal plane in the plane of the screen LCD.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in order to display using a range of wavelengths lying between two wavelengths λ1 and λ2 (for example, λ1 =620 nm and λ2=450 nm), each lens HL in the matrix HML is recorded with light beams PW and SW having a wavelength λ0 substantially equal to the mean of the wavelengths λ1 and λ2 (in the example taken, λ0 ≈(620+450)/2=535 nm). According to a preferred embodiment, the axis of the beam SW is perpendicular to the plane of the matrix HML. Next, for displaying a liquid-crystal screen, the liquid-crystal screen LCD is placed so that each subpixel intended to modulate the wavelength λ0 is located at the focal point of the wave at the wavelength λ0 transmitted by each lens. In addition, the liquid-crystal screen can be oriented substantially in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of each lens HL. A dot will therefore consist of a central subpixel G, in which the light close to the wavelength λ0 will be focused, and of two side subpixels R and B receiving substantially the same quantity of light at the wavelengths close to λ1 and λ2 respectively.
In an alternative embodiment, the matrix of holographic lenses is in fact an array of juxtaposed parallel cylindrical lenses. Each lens therefore transmits a flat light beam for each wavelength. For a lens HL, for example, the beam of wavelength λ0 is focused in a line lying in the plane of the screen LCD. The subpixels G of the screen LCD are then aligned along this line. The beams of wavelengths λ1 and λ2 are parallel to the beam of wavelength λ0. The subpixels R and B are arranged along lines parallel to the line of subpixels G and on either side of this line.
In the foregoing, the screen LCD was regarded as a liquid-crystal screen, but it could be any other spatial light modulation device.
Parameters of the holographic material
For the lens HL, it is endeavoured to obtain a bandwidth Δλ equal to the entire visible spectrum, with a maximum efficiency of 100% at a wavelength optimized for colorimetry, for example the green central wavelength of 535 nm. By way of example, and for the above operating point, it will be possible to choose the (Δn,d) pair as follows:
d=10 μm
These values are compatible with holographic materials such as bichromated gelatine or photopolymers.
The device for illuminating the LCD proposed here enables a monovalve projector to be produced by associating it with a projection objective.
In order to optimize the projected flux, it may be necessary to include in the projection device either a field lens behind the LCD or a second matrix of lenses HL which is positioned after the screen LCD, each of the lenses HL acting as a field lens.
The system may be adapted to any configuration of colour pixels (delta, etc.) as soon as there is a direction along which the subpixels of the same colour are aligned.
The invention may also apply to direct-viewing screens.
The device of the invention can be generalized to any device including an LCD screen without colour filters and:
either a number of matrices of HLs that is less than the number of subpixels forming a white dot. For example, for the quad-configured structure (see FIG. 6), it is possible to superpose 2 matrices, HML1 and HML2 (cf. FIG. 7), one (HML 1) diffracting 100% of the red and 50% of the green and the other (HML2) 100% of the blue and 50% of the green,
or a single matrix, but one in which each lens consists of several HLs. For example, for a quad-configured pixel structure, the elementary pattern of the matrix may consist (see FIG. 8a) of a lens HL1 dispersing the blue and green and a lens HL2 dispersing the red and green, each having a matched spectral bandwidth. Note that, in this case, half of the blue and half of the red is lost.
In the device of FIG. 7, the two holographic-lens matrices HML1 and HML2 have different characteristics. They are recorded separately in such a way that, when combined as shown in FIG. 7, they for example enable quads to be displayed, such as the quad shown in FIG. 6.
The device of FIG. 8 is made of a single material. However, the equivalent of each lens HL forming the subject of the description given above in relation to FIGS. 1 to 5 is recorded in the form of two juxtaposed lenses HL1 and HL2. The bandwidth of the lens HL1 is calculated so that it focuses only the wavelengths lying in the blue range and the wavelengths lying in the green range. On reading, the lens will therefore diffract light towards the point G1 for the G wavelength light and towards the point B for the B wavelength light.
The bandwidth of the lens HL2 is calculated so that it focuses only the wavelengths lying in the red range and those lying in the green range. On reading, the lens HL2 will therefore transmit the G and R wavelengths respectively towards the points G2 and R. FIG. 8 shows the points B, G1, G2 and R producing the quad of FIG. 6. In this case, note that the red part not diffracted by HL1 and the blue part not diffracted by HL2 are lost.
The invention described thus enables each primary of the source to be selectively focused simultaneously towards the pixel addressed by the video signal corresponding to it using a single matrix of holographic lenses. The invention enables a brightness gain of 4 to 8 to be achieved in a monovalve projector by replacing the matrix of colour filters of a trichromatic electrically-driven LCD screen with a single matrix of holographic microlenses that is positioned outside the liquid-crystal cell. In addition, the method for producing the display device is significantly simplified by the fact of dispensing with colour filters.
In the foregoing, trichromatic display devices were described by way of example, but the invention is applicable to a bichromatic (for example blue and green) display device for using two display screens.

The Jason of All Trades
BY Jeffrey Hartinger
August 10 2011 4:44 PM ET
What are some of your gay-related upcoming projects?
On Friday, August 12, I am headlining the Muckenthaler Outdoor Theatre in Fullerton, Calif., to benefit the Center Orange County with Jennie McNulty. I am also in two gay films that are soon to be released. In Walk a Mile in My Pradas, with Tom Arnold and Dee Wallace, I play a Jewish doctor — my mother is thrilled. In Finding Mr. Wright,
starring Matthew Montgomery, Rebekah Kochan, and David Moretti, I play
one half of a couple that is obsessed with the movie star Rebekah
plays. My husband is Scotch Ellis Loring.
Being a gay male, has this made you sympathetic to other minority
groups, such as immigrants and African-Americans?
Yes. Also, being Jewish and having a father who was in the Holocaust has
made me even more aware of others. The comedy from my Jewish family
just never stops. I called my mother on the phone recently and I told
her I met a new guy in Key West named Darren. She asks, "Is he gay?" I
said, "No, he's a leprechaun! Of course he is — that's the most
important part!"
Have you ever had a bad experience in performing stand-up where someone in the crowd did not accept you because you were gay?
Yes, I was in Texas at the Laff Stop, where I was selling out and having
a great show. This guy who was really drunk yelled out, "You all have
AIDS." After a beat, I said, "I guess we are having an uncomfortable
moment!" and the crowd roared. This is where I learned not to give my
power away as a comic. Now that has become a catchphrase in my act.
So I should really thank that guy.
What is your best gay joke?
Come on, straight people— if you let us marry each other, we will stop marrying you!

This hotel has undergone significant renovations since our visit.
We will update our photos and review as soon as we can.
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A family-oriented, movie-themed resort with all the Disney resort perks, but also low quality rooms and facilities
The 1,920-room All-Star Movies is a sprawling, family-oriented resort with some elements of several Disney movies, from Mighty Ducks bedding to a 47-foot-tall Buzz Lightyear statue in the grounds. It's in Disney's Value category, the cheapest rung of Disney resorts (above camping, that is). Its guest rooms are smaller, its features are fewer, and, unlike the Moderate- and Deluxe-category resorts, its only food option is a self-serve cafeteria. It is one of a triplet of near-identical All-Star properties next to one another (All-Star Music and All-Star Sports have the same layout, food options, and activities, but different decorations).
The resort consists of five different motel-style, three-story buildings; each building is decorated to represent a different Disney film: Toy Story, Fantasia, Love Bug, 101 Dalmatians, and The Mighty Ducks. It has two movie-themed pools, a small video-game arcade, and fake tattoo and hair wrap carts set up in the afternoon -- little else.
Like all Disney resorts, the hotel comes with some great perks: free parking throughout Disney World; free shuttle service to Disney resorts, parks, and Downtown Disney; extended hours at Disney parks; you can charge any activities, food, or purchases at a Disney park or resort to your room bill.
However, due to the All-Stars resorts' location on the far outskirts of Disney World near Animal Kingdom, it is a generally a less-desirable option than other value-category options like the more central Pop Century, which offers faster direct shuttles to Epcot and other Disney parks.
Services are basic and the staff is very small, but guests get all the benefits of staying at a Disney resort.
Compared to Disney's more expensive resorts, like the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, this property seems to have a skeleton staff: front desk staff, security, lifeguards, and cafeteria check-out staff perform minimal practical services; not a pampering customer service experience. All of the dining is self-serve, there are no kids' clubs or supervised activities on-site, and the lines at the front desk can get frustratingly long. But, like at all Disney resorts, you're guaranteed a set of free services. These include free transportation within Disney, off-hours access to the parks, and the ability use the room key card to charge theme-park purchases to the rooms.
Inside Walt Disney World Resort, a five to 10-minute shuttle to Animal Kingdom
Disney All-Star Movies is one of three adjacent "All-Star" properties (Music and Sports being the other two) located on the far western end of Walt Disney World, near Animal Kingdom. It's relatively isolated from many of the park's most popular areas, Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney, making the shuttle rides longer in many cases (up to 25 minutes, for example) and less convenient, especially for families.
Like most Disney resorts, Disney's All-Star Movies Resort is set back from the main roads. It's quiet, but like just about any Orlando resort, there isn't anything to do, eat, or see within reasonable walking distance.
Small, dated, movie-themed guest rooms with poor sound insulation
The guest rooms feel old (the last section of the resort was constructed in 1999 and it does't look like the rooms have seen much of a renovation since then). The walls and carpet are shabby; flaking paint and dirty tile grout are clear signs that the rooms are due for an update.
While the on-site facilities might be a bit limited, at least compared to most other Orlando resorts, guests can use the free Disney shuttle service (or just drive themselves) to get to other resorts -- including the Animal Kingdom and Coronado Springs -- and freely use the kids' club, gym, restaurants, pools, and shops there.
Small rooms and minimal on-site kids' activities, but highly affordable rates and kid-friendly themes
The All-Star properties are designed for families: kid-friendly themes; affordable, kid-friendly cafeteria-style dining; and activities like a video-game arcade and multiple supervised pools. That said, the entertainment is sparser and quality of rooms and facilities lower than at Disney properties of a higher tier -- rooms are somewhat small and in need of renovations; there's no kids' club; and food options, despite being kid-friendly, are still somewhat limited. It's best enjoyed as a landing pad for families spending most of their time (and money) at the parks.
Well cleaned, but carpets, furniture, and walls are in need of repair
Though housekeeping is visibly active throughout the property, the rooms' dingy paint, old carpets, and banged-up furniture are clearly reaching their expiration date. The grounds seem well-enough maintained, but Disney clearly puts minimal investment into updating the facilities and rooms.
Dining is an area where the cost cut of Disney's "Value" resorts really shows -- the only food available on-site is a single, self-serve cafeteria, End Zone, which serves kid-friendly options like pizza, pasta, fried chicken, and chili-cheese dogs. During breakfast and dinner, long lines overwhelm the cashiers and it can be hard to find a place to sit.
One of Disney's least expensive resorts, the 1,920-room All-Star Movies Resort is one of three adjacent, virtually identical All Star properties. Small, worn rooms, scarce food options, two fairly ordinary pools, and Disney's standard set of free services -- not bad, for the price, but the similarly priced Pop Century has faster access to most of Disney's theme parks.

TREASURER Wayne Swan says the Government has set new benchmarks as economic managers, but insists this year's Budget was not put together with an election in mind.
Prior to officially delivering the budget to Parliament, Mr Swan told journalists the budget delivers on a "strict fiscal strategy" to bring the Budget back into surplus in three years, and three years ahead of schedule.
This is achieved by offsetting spending and limiting spending growth, he said, which sets a "new benchmark for responsible economic management".
Mr Swan said despite a patchy global recovery and Europe "in strife", Australia had a strong economic story.
"Australia stands today as one of the strongest and most stable economies in the world," Mr Swan said.
"The numbers in the budget reflect that position of strength.
"We've emerged from the global recession with stronger growth than any other advanced economies and a budget position that is the envy of the developed world."
Mr Swan said this meant Australia could tackle future challenges from a strong foundation.
He said real spending growth would be held at two per cent until the Budget surplus reaches 1pc of GDP.
Mr Swan said this year's Budget was one that was "pretty heavy on policy, but light on politics".
"We'll see all sorts of claims from the Opposition but I don't think we're going to see an alternative," Mr Swan said.
"The Liberal Party talks tough about cutting Government spending but their blocking and opposition of our measures would only make the deficit bigger."
He told journalists this was not a budget that was "setting the government up for an election" and had not been set with the election cycle in mind.
He said it was a budget that was right for the times, and was not part of the political equation.
He said it was not a budget designed to shift opinion polls, nor did he think it would do that anyway.
Mr Swan said there was very little room for additional spending down the line from now, even prior to the election.

AbstractThis paper addresses recycling of waste engine oils treated using acetic acid. A recycling process was developed which eventually led to comparable results with some of the conventional methods. This gives the recycled oil the potential to be reused in cars' engines after adding the required additives. The advantage of using the acetic acid is that it does not react or only reacts slightly with base oils. The recycling process takes place at room temperature. It has been shown that base oils and oils' additives are slightly affected by the acetic acid. Upon adding 0.8 vol% of acetic acid to the used oil, two layers were separated, a transparent dark red colored oil and a black dark sludge at the bottom of the container. The base oils resulting from other recycling methods were compared to the results of this paper. The comparison showed that the recycled oil produced by acetic acid treatment is comparable to those recycled by the other conventional methods.

Tolkien's Middle-earth legends dominated his creative life, from their birth in the early Silmarillion tales through their absorption of Bilbo Baggins's diary and their culmination in the tale of the Great Ring. However, throughout his life, Tolkien wrote many small pieces of prose and verse that were not directly drawn into the great narrative of Middle-earth. Tolkien's children's books, his scholarship, his short stories, and his eclectic short poems combine to provide a unique glimpse into Tolkien's thought and imaginative development over the course of fifty years. This summer, join Mythgard President Corey Olsen and the great Tolkien and Anglo-Saxon scholar Tom Shippey for an in-depth look at a J.R.R. Tolkien you might never have met before.

Tolkien is world-famous for his fiction. In his highly distinguished professional career, meanwhile, he was a philologist, and furthermore a comparative philologist, following in the footsteps of Jacob Grimm, whose innovations in comparative philology (vergleichende Philologie) must count as the Darwinian revolution of the humanities in the 19th century. Nor is it an accident that while Tolkien's "Middle-earth" sequence was one of the great popular successes of the 20th and 21stcenturies, the fairytales of the brothers Grimm were one of the great popular successes of the preceding century. The philology and the fantasy go together. They deserve to be studied together.
This course aims to use the life and works of Tolkien as a gateway to provide an introduction to the discipline of comparative philology, and to highlight the many links between this field and his creative writings. The course will offer an introductory (and necessarily selective) overview of several of the old Germanic languages and their literatures, such as Gothic, Old and Middle English, and Old Norse, and cover select topics in Germanic comparative grammar (e.g. Grimm's Law). Attention will also be given to other related matters, such as Celtic philology and Tolkien's invented languages.
Students are not expected to have prior familiarity with any language other than modern English. Coursework involves readings, philological exercises, and study of short, glossed excerpts from ancient texts. The overall aim is to provide a basic familiarity with the methods and subject matter of philology and to make the ancient languages and texts that provide the field's raw data appear less unfamiliar, as well as to examine the strong influence of philology on Tolkien's works.

Easy Halloween costume ideas for expecting moms
Some moms-to-be don't want to bother with dressing up for Halloween. When everything in your closet doesn't seem to fit anymore, and there are much more important things to worry about like the baby, why worry about what to wear on Halloween? Just because you have a bun in the oven doesn't mean you can't still have a little bit of fun! Here are some easy ways to get into the spirit of Halloween.
Pumpkin maternity t-shirt
Whether you are handing out candy, going to a Halloween get-together or taking the older kids out trick-or-treating, the easiest way to participate this Halloween is by wearing a pumpkin maternity t-shirt. These cotton t-shirts are comfortable and there are so many cute versions to choose from.
Mommy-to-be kitty cat
Another easy costume option for Halloween is a kitty cat costume. You likely already have a black t-shirt or turtle neck and black pants. Then all you need to do is purchase a kitty cat tail and ears. If you are feeling creative, you could make your own kitty cat tail using a wire coat hanger, cotton and black spandex material.
Mommy-to-be vampire
Don't want too be cutesy for Halloween? You don't have to! Why not get a pair of vampire teeth. Vampires are everywhere. They are in your television, your movies and your novels. If you want to keep it simple, you could just wear your street clothes with the vampire teeth. Or instead you could wear them with a black dress or dark clothes that you already have in your closet.

Boys' basketball notebook: Ball bouncing right for St. Bonaventure
1. Simi Valley (22-1)
Comment: No team has gone unbeaten in Marmonte League since 2002.
Last week: Defeated Agoura and Westlake.
2. Thousand Oaks (17-6)
Comment: Lancers have had only one player score 20 points in game this season.
Last week: Defeated Moorpark and Calabasas.
3. Ventura (17-7)
Comment: Cougars have outside shot of being co-Channel League champion.
Last week: Defeated Buena.
4. Oak Park (18-6)
Comment: Bobby Hillard scored 87 points in Oak Park's three wins.
Last week: Defeated Bishop Diego, Carpinteria and Santa Paula.
5. Oxnard (16-8)
Comment: Yellowjackets have not allowed more than 49 points in nine league games.
Last week: Defeated Channel Islands and Rio Mesa.
Upcoming: Today: Thousand Oaks at Agoura, Oak Park at Nordhoff, St. Bonaventure at Mission Prep. Tuesday: San Marcos at Ventura. Wednesday: Thousand Oaks at Simi Valley, Calabasas at Westlake, Oaks Christian at Oak Park, Carpinteria at Santa Clara, St. Bonaventure at Malibu. Friday: Agoura at Calabasas.
For the first time in program history, St. Bonaventure High owns a No. 1 boys' basketball section ranking.
The Seraphs enter the final week of the regular season with a 10-game winning streak, the outright Frontier League championship and an opportunity to be the top seed for the Division V-A playoffs.
It is not an unfamiliar position for St. Bonaventure.
Last year, St. Bonaventure had won seven of its last nine games, had clinched a share of the league title and was ranked among the top four Division V-A teams.
Malibu delivered a crushing five-point win in the regular-season finale, tying St. Bonaventure for the title and swapping places for the playoffs.
That thought crossed the mind of second-year St. Bonaventure coach Marty Meyer as he approached point guard Blayne Lewis in practice last week.
"Before I could get it all out," said Meyer, "he gave me a cold football player's look as if to say We're not losing.' "
St. Bonaventure (12-13) closes out its regular season with a non-league road game against Mission Prep tonight and league game at Malibu on Wednesday.
It has been a tale of two half-seasons for St. Bonaventure.
The Seraphs lost 13 of their first 15 games and didn't look the part of a team that reached the V-A semifinals before losing to Desert, 69-68.
The root of the problem wasn't difficult to find. Five of St. Bonaventure's players — Isiah Burton, Nick Molina, J.D. Dock, Loren Powers and Lewis — were unavailable; all were members of the school's football program, which had an extended season until the Dec. 13 Division III state championship game.
Reporting to Meyer six games into the basketball season, the five had little time to integrate with the flow of the team as St. Bonaventure had five straight games in the San Fernando Valley Tournament.
"They had four games without a practice and nine games with only three practices," said Meyer. "Welcome to the big leagues.
"We had trouble executing our offense. We took our lumps."
St. Bonaventure's winning streak started with a 64-52 victory over Hueneme.
The most prized win of the second half of the season was a 51-50 road victory over Santa Clara on a field goal by Burton with seven seconds left in the game.
"It was important to play that game against Santa Clara, which, I don't care what anybody says, is one of the top teams in the county."
With Bo Mesick being the center of attention inside the paint, St. Bonaventure has been able to get its transition game going with Lewis, Molina and Matt Sinclair.
"They run the floor very well," said Meyer. "It has been spectacular to watch."
With most of the key players from last year's section semifinal team back, St. Bonaventure will have a battle-hardened group for the playoffs.
The possibility of the program's first section championship is not lost on Meyer.
"What you never get back are certain opportunities," said Meyer. "The CIF title is within our reach."
Undecided: Two league championships could be decided by Wednesday.
Simi Valley (22-1), winner of nine straight games and unbeaten in 11 league games, has been unable to shake off Thousand Oaks (17-6), which has won 13 of its last 15 games.
With the Marmonte League title hanging in the balance, the two teams meet again Wednesday at Simi Valley.
Agoura, Westlake and Calabasas are locked in a battle for the league's next two automatic playoff spots. Marmonte teams play three games this week.
Santa Clara can clinch a share of the Tri-Valley League championship with a win over Carpinteria on Wednesday.
By beating Nordhoff on the road tonight and Oaks Christian at home on Wednesday, Oak Park could win its sixth straight outright or shared TVL championship. Oaks Christian has a lock on third place.
Trailing Channel League leader Dos Pueblos by two games, Ventura can win a share of the league title. Ventura has home games against San Marcos and Dos Pueblos. Before it faces Ventura on Thursday, Dos Pueblos faces Santa Barbara on Tuesday.
Oxnard and Camarillo have clinched first and second in the Pacific View League. Channel Islands and Pacifica are tied for third place with one game left.
Malibu and Fillmore will qualify for the playoffs out of the Frontier League.

The Celtics offered four first-round picks for the chance to move up from no. 16 to no. 9: that 16th pick, no. 15 (acquired in a prearranged contingency deal with the Hawks), one unprotected future Brooklyn pick, and a future first-rounder from either the Grizzlies or Timberwolves, per sources familiar with the talks.1
Draft Rumors
Some members of Charlotte's front office liked the Boston deal, but Michael Jordan, the team's owner and ultimate decision-maker, preferred Kaminsky to a pile of first-rounders outside the lottery, per several sources. That's justifiable, if you think your guy at no. 9 has a chance at stardom. The talent gap between no. 9 and no. 15 is real; ask Boston how it felt to squeeze into the playoffs, get demolished by a Cavs team in chill mode, and watch Justise Winslow fall right where it could have picked had it won three fewer games.
Adam Himmelsbach: A league source says second-round pick the Celtics acquired from the Heat in Dragic deal is for the 2020 draft.
Jeff Zillgitt: That 2016 second-round pick the Magic will send to the Heat for Shabazz Napier is protected 31-55, per person with knowledge of the deal.
Bobby Marks: As @Jeff Zillgitt reports ORL 2nd rd pick in 2016, protected 31-55 goes to MIA. The team receiving something must also send something back. The 2nd rd. pick in 2016, protected 31-55 has the same value to monopoly money. MIA will not see that pick unless ORL has a top 5 record.
Bobby Marks: Part 1: MIA/ORL Trade. Napier technically in his last year of his contract. Will need a trade certification to complete the trade

Jewish Renewal
An introduction to the Jewish Renewal movement.
By Debra Nussbaum Cohen
We Also Recommend
This article is reprinted with permission from The Jewish Week.
Like a cross between the voice of God and a vintage radio broadcast full of pop and hiss, the disembodied sound of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi filled the sanctuary of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun.
It was a Shabbat celebration of the 75th birthday of Schachter-Shalomi, the rebbe of the Jewish Renewal movement, who is nearly universally known as Reb Zalman. For four decades, he has been considered by many to be a marginal figure but has, in fact, also breathed a spark of spirit into the inner life of mainstream Judaism.
He was supposed to have been on the Upper West Side that Saturday, surrounded by his students and followers. But instead, on April 8 he was home in Boulder, Colorado, recuperating from a hospitalization a week earlier when what should have been a routine angiogram led to an emergency surgery to remove a blood clot.
So Reb Zalman was hooked up to the proceedings by telephone, his thin, faintly accented voice amplified by speakers hidden above the Upper West Side synagogue's soaring ark and its rafters. He was able to participate in the celebration and speak to his followers about the holiness of Shabbat and their mission by using technology, which departs from traditional observance's prohibition against using electricity on the day of rest. It was a fitting illustration of the Jewish Renewal approach.
The celebratory Shabbat came as the Jewish Renewal movement—the network of roughly 50 congregations and havurahs (including one in Manhattan), 60 rabbis and several retreat centers—is trying to grow from a group of iconoclastic dissidents into a rooted, well-funded, established organization.
Three decades after Reb Zalman began reaching out to disenfranchised Jews with a hands-on, mystically inflected, radically egalitarian, liturgically inventive, neo-chasidic approach, many of the techniques he pioneered–from meditation to describing God in new terms–are widely employed in mainstream settings.

I never dream of having my own children yet. Doesn't mean I hate children. I only think that I'm not ready yet. For me, my children are the everything. Even more. Well, I just consider a statement of a blogger who said that she hoped to have a gay kid of her own, to love him and give him happy life.
I know, she wrote that on her blog because she considered the unfair treatment on a gay kid. Although in the other side, I understand that parents wants their children to grow with good sexual orientation. I can not judge anyone of them.

My own ideas on an installation framework have not yet solidified, but the more I think about things like variant symlinks and VFS environments, the more it seems to me that the actual physical install location should be in a single, properly named and versioned subdirectory, e.g. like /opt/<pkgnameandrev>, or /usr/local/<pkgnameandrev>, or something like that. :... :haven't been updated), go through the usual configure/make steps but :type some variant command of "make install", and have the whole thing :not only installed exactly as usual, but registered in the package :database with a proper +CONTENTS file so that it can be uninstalled :cleanly if desired. I would like to be able to do this too, which is how I cam up with the VFS environment idea. The trick is to not burden the developer, so if we were to do all of the above within a VFS environment then, in fact, we could also 'make install' within that environment and then tell the real installer which directories represent the installed files. The real installer would pull them out of the environment and put everything in /opt/<pkgnameandrev>/, so no 'CONTENTS' file would actually be necessary, and would also create an environment file, say /opt/<pkgnameandrev>/ENVIRONMENT, that tells the system how to wire the package so we see it where we expect to see it. In this example, the VFS environment itself is just a temporary affair used to during the build and installation phase and would not have to be used for the run-time phase (at least not for most packages). The advantage of this is that there is a very clearly defined place to look for (A) the installed package's raw files, and (B) the information required to wire or unwire those files into the system (the ENVIRONMENT file). Now if you think about this, it leads to all sorts of advantages: * Human readable debugging and investigation. Sysops know exactly where to look to understand where a package is installed and sysops know exactly where t look to understand how a package is wired. * Utilities. e.g. 'whoowns /usr/local/bin/soffice' would return something like: /usr/local/bin/soffice varsym for soffice-1.1, soffice-1.2, and soffice-1.3, set SOFFICE_VERSION to select. The idea being that you could identify any file in the system this way. * Database rebuilding utilities. Everything would be sourced in /opt/<packagename>/ENVIRONMENT. If our package management subsystem uses a database, the database would be easily reconstructable simply by scanning all the ENVIRONMENT files in /opt/*. * Resynchronization and Validation. It is often the case where a system is partially copied onto a new HD, or partally destroyed through various means. This methodology would allow us to 'rebuild' the installed varsyms from what we see in /opt, as well as get rid of those that are no longer attached to anything, perhaps by consulting an off-site database that indexes the ENVIRONMENTs for all available packages. * Conflict management. We would use varsyms as much as possible to deal with conflicts. Even more to the point, it would be posible to have a two-level system where for those packages which are severely manged between released (and e.g. install to totally different places), the primary varsyms in e.g. /usr/local/etc and a/usr/local/bin, would simply point to secondary softlinks within /opt/<packagename> itself. In those hopefully few cases where varsyms are not sufficient resolve conflicts, or paricularly badly written third party software (nah, nobody would ever do that! Right!), then the actual run-time environment could end up being a VFS environment too. * Transparency. Since everything looks 'normally' installed from the point of view of system management, we would easily be able to switch between base-system packages, which are installed directly, and package-managed packages, which are managed via /opt. This would allow us to slowly migrate base-system packages to 'real' packages, at least for the more complex base-system packages. I just don't know if I can get to this before the first release, at least not on my own. It's not just a matter of a chicken-and-egg issue, it's that I think it is important not to leave too many loose ends in the system. I had already made significant progress on asynch syscalls, upcalls, IPC, and other subsystems. I need to finish those before I embark on yet another new subsystems. But I am not 'reserving' the package management subsystem either. I think it would be an excellent project for a group of developers to undertake. In fact, you don't even need to have working VFS environments to start building it... a chroot plus unionfs mounts would be plenty sufficient. And if unionfs is still broken, that is certainly something I can help fix. I would definitely like to have a hand in developing the ENVIRONMENT specification and in mapping out how the package manager would work, since I do have my own requirements (e.g. to accomplish the above) that I feel are necessary to create a compact but easily managed packaging system. What I don't have time to do right now is the actual major programming. -Matt

Impressed By Cora on 6/9/2015 Cora would recommend this product to a friend Replaced the stock pump on my JBJ 20 which was 265 gph for the Cobalt 1200 295 gph, big improvement in flow and this pump is silent. Very happy with the result. Fit perfectly in the back compartment. Perfect! By Tony on 4/11/2015 Tony would recommend this product to a friend I received this pump first with my order of the BRS GFO&Carbon reactor, and its a great handy little pump. I have recently ordered a second one that I will be using as a transfer pump for water storage. Its a great pump for many applications! It's so quite! By Melody on 3/29/2015 Melody would recommend this product to a friend I have 3 of these running in my tank. 2 are set up as power heads, and the other is hooked up to my carbon reactor! I love them! Great pump By CB on 2/5/2015 CB would recommend this product to a friend Using as a return pump on my 29g Biocube. Very quite can't hear it over MP-10 or skimmer. Good small pump By Mondo on 2/4/2015 Mondo would recommend this product to a friend I use it for my gfo carbon reactor. And to do water changed when I pump new water back into tank. Works well. better than the Marineland MJ1200 By Ken on 1/25/2015 Ken would recommend this product to a friend I have noticed the quality of the Marineland pumps has been going down. I use them for mixing and pumping my new water. (1/2 inch ID hose fits perfectly). I took a chance and ordered the Cobalt and am happy i did. They are quieter and seem better built so far. Quality and Performance By Craig on 1/16/2015 Craig would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this power head to power my BRS dual reactor. When I purchased it I though well if it's not strong enough to drive the dual reactor I'll use it for dipping coral. Well need less to say its to powerful for that. It drive the dual with no problems, and ad a matter of fact I had to dial it back quite a bit to get the flow correct for the GFO So quiet By Josh on 12/15/2014 Josh would recommend this product to a friend it is soooo quiet Love these pumps. By Despairodyne on 11/26/2014 Despairodyne would recommend this product to a friend I have about 6 of these atm and use them for transferring salt water and ro/di water from containers to tanks and to stir my salt making bucket.

Ky. man arrested in Ashland pipe bomb case
ASHLAND -- A Greenup County man was arrested Thursday on charges of attempted murder and use of a weapon of mass destruction in an attempt to kill his wife in an Ashland parking garage last year, according to Ashland police.
Thomas Keith Biederman, 51, of Russell, Ky., was arrested at the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm and Explosives office in Ashland Thursday by detectives of the Ashland Police Department and ATF special agents, according to a media release.
Janie Biederman was treated at King's Daughters Medical Center in Ashland on July 28, 2011, and released after sustaining cuts and burns in an explosion at a parking garage in the 1200 block of Bath Avenue, said Major Todd Kelley of the Ashland Police Department.
Thomas Biederman was transported to the Boyd County Detention Center in Catlettsburg.
The arrest follows a joint investigation by Ashland police, Kentucky State Police and ATF along with Russell Police and the Ashland Fire Department, among others.
Commonwealth's Attorney David Justice said Biederman would have an initial appearance Friday in Boyd County District Court.
Ashland police confirmed last year that PVC pipe, a cap, some wires and the smell of gun powder were all found at the scene of the pipe bomb in Janie Biederman's convertible in the parking garage. The bomb exploded when she started her car, according to authorities.

| FDA Clears MDMA Trial for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder »
Posted by Zack Lynch
Industry research on a global scale is never easy, even for the largest organizations. For example, when the World Health Organization attempted to systematically collect information on expenditure on mental health across the countries in the European Region in 2001 only 23 of the 52 countries provided any information at all.
Over the past year, NeuroInsights has been developing a report on the global neurotechnology industry. In one section we have aggregated various data sources in order to estimate the prevalence of major neurological diseases and psychiatric illness for the U.S. and worldwide. Here are our current numbers:
I'd be very interested if anyone has different numbers.

The anti-gun crowd continues to beat the drunks with guns drum simply to rouse an emotional response. I have my CCW and obey the law regarding consuption of alcohol while armed. The bill signed was not about allowing anyone to drink while armed, it was intended to allow us to continue to be able to protect ourselves and loved ones while at the Applebe's or TGF Friday's and similar restaurants that serve alcohol. The ORC makes it a felony to consume ANY alcohol while armed whereas, a vehicle operator has a limit of 1 or 2 beers or a glass of wine or 2, and maybe a mixed drink and still legally operate a 3500 pound deadly weapon. It just so happens that the Republican party is the one most aligned with protecting all our Constitutional Rights and not just the Second Ammendment. The question I ask is: Which of your Constitutional Rights are you willing to give up? I am not in favor of giving up any. I don't really care if some consider it socially unacceptable to carry a legally concealed firearm because I am most intersted in dealing with the critical seconds when the police are minutes away. I have the Second Ammendment Constitutional Right to be armed and you have the First Ammendment Constitutional Right to express your opinion. Question is: Will harsh words discourage the person who would do you or your loved ones harm? I know that my 1911 .45 that I am proficient with will. By the way; I am a college educated, USMC Vietnam veteran, educator, and holder of a State of Ohio Limited Branch Medical License. My criminal background has been checked more than most because of completing the Foster Care program and training, holding a State of Ohio Medical license, and holding a CCW permit. Learn to think for yourself instead of allowing others to lead you with emotional rants that are based in half truths and manipulated statistics.
Boneybenny cited that the Arizona shooter was stopped by unarmed bystanders; one of those bystanders happened to be armed (no permit required in Az), but did not have a clear shot and did the responsible thing, which was to help where he could. Carrying a concealed handgun does not constitute a magic charm that guarantees a clear shot or even the necessaty to use that handgun. All of us who possess a CCW permit know and understand that we are responsible for every round that we fire in a deadly force encounter, whereas police can justify wounding or killing an innocent bystander as purely an accident and are held at no fault. Even our Federal Government studies have proven that where concealed carry is permitted, crime, in general, drops. When anti-second ammendment persons take the emotional component out of the argument they are merely expressing an opinion, which the First Ammendment gives them the right to do. Just as yelling FIRE in a theatre does not constitute a First Ammendment right, so the fear mongering of anti-gunners spouting fictitious numbers of a 'study' incites that same panic in the minds of some. There is a reason the Second Ammendment follows the First Ammendment guaranteeing free speach. Our nation's founders realized that the only way to protect free speach was and still is an armed population. Those of you who argue that Second Ammendment only means for a malitia; what makes you think that when chaos and anarchy rules, ordinary citizens aren't the malitia our founders were talking about? Think New Orleans after Katrina when the govenment was paralyzed into inaction and ordinary citizens with firearms were protecting themselves and others during that time of anarchy and chaos. Obviously I am pro-Second Ammendment, but I am also pro-Constitution and believe that all individual rights are equally important. Take one right away, the rest will follow. History bears me out on that one. A quote that I like is: An armed society is a polite society.
I, for one, believe that we should not need a permit to practice any Constitutional Freedom. I suppose the freedom of speech people who insult and denegrate anyone who disagrees with them would agree to a permit required to practice such speech, or not. I have been a CCW permit holder for a little over 2 years, I train nearly weekly with my firearms, and I carry everywhere that I can legally. I have accepted the responsibility to protect myself and my loved ones during those minutes before the police can arrive. Concealed carry means concealed and undetectable, which means that those of you who are uncomfortable around firearms or are Hoplophobic to the point of needing professional couseling will never know that I am armed unless the need arrises for me to protect myself and loved ones. My concealed weapon is similar in nature to your homeowner's and auto insurance; something necessary that one hopes never to have to use. The vast majority of CCW permit holders are not looking for an opportunity to shoot someone and in my opinion the best gunfight is the one that never happens. I do not go looking for trouble just because I am armed, but do not be offended because I choose not to be a compliant victim for assault, rape, robbery, or murder. The last thing that I would want to do is to take another life, but I will if my own or those of my loved ones are at risk. Protecting one's own is a basic human right. Those who choose not to be able to protect themselves or loved ones should not be surprised when no one else will either. Sorry, my first responsibility is to my loved ones' and my own safety.
When will people realize that whether a Republican, Democrat, Centrist, Liberatarian, Socialist, etc. that a Politician is a Politician. You could put one of each in the outhouse pit and they will all come out smelling the same. A politician will tell the people what his/her analysts say the people want to hear. A principled and honest person will rarely have anything to do with the political process and the dark and dirty deals it requires. Kasich is just another liar in a good suite!!
I have not watched a lot of the Cavs games because its too painful watching these talented players wander around the floor with little or no leadership. If coach Scott lasts the season I will be surprised, he does not seem to be able to bring the best out of these players. It was hard enough to watch Lebraun quit on the Cavs last season, but the whole team quitting?? It begs the question, where is the desire to win or even to play to the level capable? If Dan Gilbert wants a ring, he had better buy another team!!
Here we are again fighting for our Constitutional Rights. The Second Ammendment does say the that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Simple words, but far too many interpretations. I am happy not to live in Cleveland because I would be daily violating their illegal gun control laws. Cleveland is right behind Chicago in violent crime and murder because their residents do not have the right to keep and bear arm with which to protect themselves and their loved ones. I can guarantee that when the mayor goes home in the evening he has an armed escort and I am happy that at least one resident of Cleveland can feel reasonably safe, but what about the rest? In actuality, we do not even need state laws because the Constitution is clear on the Second Ammendment. Every law enacted to limit firearms possession is a violation of the Second Ammendment. As reasonable people we agree that there needs to be some limits such as limiting full automatic weapons, explosives, artillery, and other such millitary weapons. That said, Switzerland requires that all male citizens keep their military weapon in their home and at the ready with a certain stock of ammunition. Guess what; Switzerland has probably the lowest crime rate on the face of the planet. Support the NRA, USCCA, and Buckey Firearms Assn.
The city councel and mayor of Cleveland have the leadership abilities of a flock of lemmings with the same predictable result.
Poor young thugs, they chose someone who fought back when his friend was out of danger. They did take his wallet, ID, and badge. Last that I knew that is certainly a crime. Good on the agent for hitting his target twice, but go to the range and practice on those center of mass shots. In that circumstance he had to assume that the thug was armed and a threat. He was absolutely justified in using deadly force. "But the thug only had a pellet pistol", you say. By the time he pawned the badge and ID he could have bought a real gun on the street. The agent saved an escallation of threat this time.
Now that so many, but not all, are returning from Iraq and Afganistan the American public will finally learn the truth about what has been happening in those places. We will hear it from each returning veteran in unvarnished and uncoached terms. Our govenment officials have been untruthful since day one about so many things, for example: how many wounded veterans are going to require intensive care and rehabilitation both physically and mentally? We do not know these numbers because it would have been giving the enemy too much information about how much they were really hurting us. We need to know the truth about how viable the propped-up govenments are in Iraq and Afganistan. What is the real possibility that we will be back there again in greater force? Quit beating around the bush about Iran and that reality. I did my duty in 1966 to 1969 and believe that nothing has substantially changed regarding how our govenment decides to go to war and then prosecutes that war. We had "Rules of Engagement" in Vietnam that cost countless American lives and I'm certain that has not changed in Iraq and Afganistan. We had equipment problems and supply shortages in Vietnam as well that cost the lives of soldiers and marines who died trying to clear faulty rifles that were thrust on us in an experiment. We will welcome our returning veterans back in a way that is appropriate unlike what I and too many others experienced returning from Vietnam. By the way, some of us have earned the right to enjoy our 'golden years' because we have been in the meatgrinder and were lucky enough to return. The future will tell us whether or not the lives lost and mangled in Iraq and Afganistan were in vain as they were in Vietnam. Welcome home to our proud sons and daughters we are waiting to hear from you!
LeBraun's comments about returning to Cleveland only indicate one simple thing; he can do and screw who he chooses and the Cavalier fans will accept him back with open arms. Mr James needs to understand that there is always someone better than he is. He may also need someone to consult with regarding some paranoid dilusional illusions of grandure. He also says that he is humble, but others may not agree with him, personally, I see him as egotistical, arrogant, selfish, immature, selfserving, and largly unschooled in the social graces of acceptable behavior. Did I mention narcissistic as well? He really does not owe the fans of Cleveland anything other than to just go away and quit rubbing salt into raw wounds.
So we just walk away and claim a victory? Politicians make it all sound so easy, we leave and the brave citizens of Iraq and Afganistan who have supported the US and allies will be at the mercy of the enemy. We did the same exact thing leaving Vietnam. Do we wonder why the rest of the world does not trust us? I suppose that when the troops come home we can shore up the home defenses because the terrs will follow.
It could be worse; HOW??? This is the candidate who promised change that we could believe in. The problem is that we believed him in the great hope that this great nation could possible get back on track under his leadership. To begin with, he has the leadership abilities of a Gerbil (I appologize to all Gerbils) and as we have discovered he has the inate ability to sell hope to millions of disallusioned voters and get elected. What we have found is that we have much the same as the previous 8 years with a different face telling us how well things are going. What he is doing is much the same as arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The ship is still sinking, but with the band playing and the deck chairs looking just grand. I take exception to anyone who thinks that I will be stupid twice and vote for him or any of his cronies again. Fool me once; your fault, fool me twice; my fault and there will NOT be a second chance to fool this one.
I too ask the question what was it for? I served in Vietnam in 1967 and did a full rotation (12 & 22). The only thing that I learned for sure was that our country lied to us on a daily basis about why we were there and what was actually happening around us. Those of us who served did so for all the right reasons: love of country, duty, protection of freedom, the honor or serving our country. The two wars that we fight right now remind me of what we had to deal with in Vietnam minus the trees. Those maddening rules of engagement are perpetuated in Iraq and Afganistan. I couldn't think of a more fitting way to memorialize a brave soldier's final sacrifice. Thank you.
I tend to think that the Dem. party was going to publish the entire list of CCW permit holders because some people are so rabid anti-gunners. That would give the anti-gunners information of who to harrass and attempt to intimidate.
I am a CCW holder and carry 24/7 except where against the law. My wife cannot tell when I am carrying so how can the average joeshmoe on the street know? This does not incite panic or fear because its out-of-sight-out-of-mind.
We have concealed carry because of the open carry paranoia and harrassment from the law even though open carry has been legal in every county of Ohio for many years. I invite these fear-mongering anti-gunners to live in Isreal or in most our south of the border neighbors. I guarantee you will see more open carry of military weapons than you could comprehend. We don't do that here because its unacceptable by society in general, however, there will come the time when it will be. Given how out of control crime is in this country it will be necessary in order to protect oneself and one's family and my AK will be the carry of choice.
The only other good news would have been if one of the victims had been a legally armed citizen with a CCW. The robber was inept or the death toll would have been the other way with the 3 victims as the sad results. The victims were amazingly lucky that they were able to overwhealm an armed thug and sustain only minor injuries themselves. Good on them and hopefully the county prosecutor will not try to charge them with murder.
Last that I knew obtaining a work visa is a process that takes some time and maybe a little front money on the Mexican side. If you have ever been hit by a thrown 4 to 6 ounce projectile you would know that it not only hurts, but could maim or kill. This is proven by the Talliban's favorite punishment of stoning to death. Instead of jumping to conclusions about a border patrolman's alleged shot, allow the total investigative process to determine if the shooting was justified. Its a tragedy when these things happen, but lets not exacerbate the tragedy by a public lynching.
Seriously!! They both need to be locked up in the psyc ward for evaluation. The total disregard for others' safety and well-being while they had their little spat at speed on an interstate highway. CSB will need to determine if the baby momma is a suitable mother for this infant. Probably no car insurance either. This is a mindboggaling story.
Mr. Suddes; how much do you value your constitutional rights? Obviously you value the first ammendment right of free speach and are allowed to exercise that right without hinderance and with the added benefit of pay and benefits. When you exercise your constitutional rights (all of them) you need be thankful for the authors of those bills of rights who had the foresight to write them in layman's terms so that the least of us could understand them. How do you actively protect the Constitution of the US? Have you ever served your country in any capacity in the military?
You make an argument based on emotion devoid of any consideration of the overwhelming facts that even our FBI has published regarding falling violent crime rates in every state that allows concealed carry under lawful permit.
You, of course, realize that when seconds count the police are minutes away. Harsh words and the threat of dialing 911 are rarely a deterant to the average criminal intent on robbing or committing violence. Think about how you will protect your loved ones if a violent home invasion occurs. I invite you to read your own Plain Dealer on a daily basis and tell us all again how safe this city is.
Mr Suddes; you practice your constitutional rights in your way and I will practice them in mine. Remember the sacrifice that millions have made to protect those rights, I know that I do.
I don't know if Sarah Palin is a feminist, but she certainly speaks her mind and she is a proponant of constitutional rights. Where the present administration is about dissassembling the Constitution one article at a time, Sarah Palin is for protecting all our Constitutional rights. Also Connie, did you know that you violate ORC 4731 by claiming to be a Massage Therapist. You cannot do that unless you are licensed by the State of Ohio Medical Board. You will find that information in the Limited Branch Scope of Practice.
Everyone has opinions about various issues and lucky you, you have this column to voice yours and get paid for it. Consider the fact that you speak for yourself and not anyone else. Given all that, I believe that you have a responsibility to do more than just fire from the hip with your verbal diatribes.
Of course I am disappointed that the Cavs blew an opportunity for the second time in a row for a championship. The inconsistancies in play at this year's play-offs screamed of lack of focus, inability to play despite poor and biased officiating, distraction of off-court issues, low energy, lack of competitive spirit for the duration of the game, a coach who is still figuring out rotations, etc. etc. etc. Fact is that the TEAM lost the games and not one player. There is more talent on the Cavs bench than most teams have in their starting line-up. The championship should have been a shoo-in. Time to back up and regroup, make necessary changes after considered study. The Cavs do so much right a lot of the time, but maturing into a team that does so much right all the time will take effort and dedication from the entire Cavs organization. Much as I dislike saying it; follow the Celts example, no one superstar, but everyone playing with maximum intensity and bringing their 'A' game to the floor.
Funny how "misspoke" is commonly used to excuse outright lies. He served during the Vietnam era and that's it. He dishonors the sacrifices the dead, wounded, and living Vietnam veterans by representing himself as a Vietnam veteran. His military service was basically country club elite where he got to wear his dress blues like some kind of hero. I wonder if he used his supposed Vietnam veteran status in the 1970s. He would have received the same reception that most of us received returning from the Nam. Man up Mr. Blumenthal and admit that you flat misrepresented yourself to get more votes from veterans of all wars.

Before it gets an official release next week, Kings Of Leon have followed the lead of an ever increasing number of bands by making their new album 'Mechanical Bull' available to stream in full online. Head over to iTunes to find the relevant links and take a listen.
'Mechanical Bull' arrives in the wake of the 2010 effort 'Come Around Sundown', whose final touring duties were hit with inter-band problems which eventually curtailed a US trip in the June of 2011 and appeared to herald an uncertain future for the Followill family.
"I pretty much checked out for that record," Caleb Followill has reflected during an interview with Rolling Stone. "I was f***ing pissed. I got on a plane and went to New York and was like, 'F**k them,' you know. And, you know, it hurts.
"It hurt when I heard that, because I've always stood behind them," he continued, referring to apparent criticism he received from his bandmates in the press at the time. "I stood behind them when we f***ing walked offstage because of pigeons. I've always been like a one-for-all, all-for-one type."
