CHEYENNE - The Wyoming Department of Health and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department advise residents to consider mercury levels in the fish they eat, including those caught in state waters, for health reasons.
Wyoming Game and Fish Department assistant fisheries management coordinator Mark Smith said the two departments plan to continue to update the fish consumption advisory for Wyoming-caught fish as new data is obtained and analyzed. "The consumption advisory for Wyoming-caught fish is provided to help anglers make the best consumption choices for them and their families," Smith said.
Smith said it is important to remember that while some larger fish in some waters may contain mercury at levels that warrant reduced consumption for some people, fish—which contain high quality protein and other essential nutrients--are an important part of a healthy diet.
Mercury contamination usually increases as fish get larger and older. "As a general rule, it is better to keep smaller fish for eating," Smith said. "In most cases mercury levels in species such as Wyoming-caught trout are relatively low while species that prey primarily on other fish, such as walleye, sauger, burbot and bass tend to have higher levels."
Smith noted mercury advisories are nothing new as federal and state agencies have issued them for many years.
New data on fish from Lake Desmet, Boysen, Buffalo Bill, Keyhole, and Pallisades Reservoirs was recently analyzed and resulted in a few additions and adjustments to the consumption advisories for fish in those waters.
The majority of additions to the advisory this year are for larger lake trout and walleye at Buffalo Bill Reservoir, where data was previously not available.
Anglers planning to harvest fish on these or other waters may want to consult the updated advisories by going to the Game and Fish website: wgfd.wyo.gov

Reunion weekend is rapidly approaching - September 17 to 21 - and there could be up to 1,000 alumni and guests on campus! The Alumni Office is seeking volunteers for the inaugural Parade of Classes on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 20. Class photos will be taken on the steps on both sides of Memorial, then classes will move directly to line up for the parade from Ankeny to Cordiner Hall.
"The Wa-Hi Marching Band has been recruited to lead the parade, golf carts have been reserved for the Fifty Plus reunion classes - what we could really use is some help wrangling people," says Jennifer Northam, assistant director of alumni relations. She is recruiting volunteers to assist in directing classes to the parade staging area around the perimeter of Ankeny Field. Attendance at a short meeting the week before the reunion would be required, and parade duty would begin at 9 a.m. on Sept. 20 until all classes enter Cordiner Hall for Reunion Convocation at 11 a.m.
Interested in helping out? Contact Jennifer at firstname.lastname@example.com or x4794.

In this series, David Blatner and Anne-Marie Concepción, co-hosts of the web's top resource for InDesign tips and tricks, InDesignSecrets.com, share some hidden and sometimes surprising workflow tips that will make working in InDesign more efficient and more fun. The course covers built-in timesaving features such as Quick Apply and auto-expanding text, but also little-known tricks, such as using the eyedropper to copy and paste character and paragraph text attributes and making accurate selections by selecting through or even into objects.
New techniques will be added to the collection every other week, so check back early and often. Find more tips and tricks at indesignsecrets.com.
Anne-Marie Concepcion> There are lots of places in InDesign where there are hidden features and most users never discover them, even though they've been added versions ago. For me, one of those kinds of features is the ability to really customize the Links panel. They've completely rebuilt the Links panel and how it works in CS4. If you click it, you'll see that it automatically opens up this part at the bottom called Link Info. When you select an image or placed elements in your InDesign file, the link to that image is highlighted in the top part of the links panel and then underneath that you see a lot more information called Link Info, all about that link.
So if you scroll down here you can see, for example, what is the actual resolution and what is the effective resolution, after you scaled it. Apparently this thing was scaled much smaller so now it's 1181. It's a pretty big file, and so on. You know, the problem with this to me is that I hate this part down here and I'll almost always click the little disclosure triangle to hide it. I don't want to see it. But now how do I get that information? I have to keep clicking down here. Well, you can completely customize this top part of the Links panel, what I called the main part with all the interesting information from the bottom part.
So that you never have to look down here. You just have to look in the main area. And I do that on my production machines with all of my documents. Let me show you how easy it is to do that. First of all, I'm going to detach the Links panel from the dock so that it's a little easier to see. And widen this out bit. We have all this room to play with over here. Go to the Links panel menu, down to Panel Options, and you see here there's two columns. One says Show Column and Show in Link Info. So Show Column means this top area, what I call the main area.
Show in Link Info was this bottom area that we have currently hidden. What we want to do is show, for example, resolution and effective resolution up here in the top area. So scroll down here to wherever you find that and there it is. Actual PPI and Effective PPI and say I want to see that in the columns. You can add other things to the columns as well. Like for example you might want if something is RGB or CMYK. You might want to know if you've scaled it. This is great to be able to see that at a glance whether something has been scaled or not.
As you scroll down here you'll see lots of things you can add, but remember they're going to add a column, so you don't want this thing taking up a 21-inch wide monitors. So be judicious and just select the things that you really want to see often. Remember, you can always turn on Show in Link Info. You can always expand this bottom part to see other bits of information. But let me scroll down here and see if anything else pops up. Oh yeah, what about things like the folder that it was in? So if you want to know what folder did I pull this from, that would be folder zero.
If you want to know what was the parent of the folder that pulled it from, that was folder one. This I use all the time. I show folders, your own folder one, because I often will place images from the links folder of other projects. If I just showed folder zero, I would just see a column that said links links links links links. But if I said folder one as well, I'd I see links, annual report, links, brochure, and so on. So I know where I'm actually pulling those images from. I think that's good enough for now.
Let's just click OK. And there they appear. Now this information can be sorted by any one of these fields. For example, this is the resolution. So if I click, I can sort by resolution and see all the 72 PPI images, all the way to the top, or if I want to do it the other way I just click again. And it shows them to me in descending order. And I really don't care what they original came in as. I want to see what they are now before I export it I can click in the effective resolution. This is the scale and I can see some things were really scaled small.
And sometimes like for this one here -- let me bring this out, see if I can see more information. This one was not scaled proportionally. One dimension was 6% and the other dimension was 6.1%! Horrors! Of course we don't want anything like that happening. So you can get a lot of information just by looking up here. A couple other cool features that may not be obvious once you have added these elements to the columns area, is that you can drag-and-drop the headers if you want to change the order. So if you're mostly interested in the scaling amount you could drag that over so that the scale appears even before the page number.
And as you can see I can also drag the column orders. You can even drag the column in front of the very first one. So for example if I want to see what is the color type of all these images. All these appear to be RGB so it's not that interesting, but a lot of people don't realize you can put things right in front of even the name. Let me move that back. I like that, so I'm going to put this back in the dock and then when I click it, it pops open. They all await. One last thing I want to mention to you is that all your work will be for naught if you forget to save this in a custom workspace.
Because you have now customized one of the default workspaces. And it's okay if you go to another workspace and come back here. If you go to let's say Essentials. Or let's say Book. You go to Links you see that your changes weren't saved in the Book workspace, but if you go to Advanced and open it up, they are there. Until you choose Reset Advanced. And I don't to want to do it because it's going to erase my work. It's going to reset it back to the factory Advanced.
So my customizations will still be in the Links panel. Even after I switch back to Advanced. Even if I quit out of the program and start it up again tomorrow it'll still be here, because it's been saved in a file on my computer as Anne-Marie's customizations to Advanced. But as soon as I choose Reset Advanced then it would delete that file and it resets it back to the factory Advanced. So what you need to do is choose New Workspace. I don't want this to be open is part of my workspace, so I'll go here. New Workspace.
We'll call this Enhanced Links. Click OK and now even if I mess around, like let's come over here and come over here and we go to Essentials, we go to Advanced. Remember Advanced had it here. And we choose Reset Advanced. Now they're gone. If I go to Enhanced Links-- Oops, let's reset Enhanced Links. Yay, they're still there.
Because I saved it with the custom workspace. So take a moment right now, move over to InDesign, open up the Links panel, go to Panel Options, add these customizations and save it in a custom workspace and you'll be a happier person for it.

Pauline Duncan's Tlingit Curriculum Resources - Picking Berries: Devil Club
Grandma and I stop to look at the beautiful,
spiny Devil Club. We let the Devil Club know how
beautiful she is and how grateful we are to have her in
our woods. Some natives believe the Devil Club is a
powerful, medicinal, and spiritual plan. Today, it is not
unusual to see a stalk of the plan hanging over a
doorway of a home or a boat. Many believe that it
can bring luck, keep evil spirits and sickness away.
Have respect for this great plan. When you come
across one, feel free to give it a cheerful chant.

EasyBib Survey Featured in School Library Journal
In Library Land, two of the most popular "go-to" publications are Library Journal and School Library Journal. Earlier this year, Caity and I were fortunate enough to write for SLJ as we discussed how libraries need to offer evening hours to accommodate students who do not have access to the Internet at home.
We're excited to announce that we are featured in another SLJ article this week! The article, "Students Wary of Wikipedia But Still Use for Research, Study Finds" analyzes data from a handful of EasyBib surveys we conducted earlier this year.
EasyBib users were asked what words they think of when they heard the word "library," "Wikipedia" and "plagiarism." With over 3,000 responses, the results were surprising. Curiously enough, many of the responses for Wikipedia had a negative connotation, such as "unreliable," "false" and "bad." Despite these responses, Wikipedia is still a hugely popular source for student research.
Head over to SLJ's website to read the full report!
Working with the editors and journalists at School Library Journal has been a great experience, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to work with them. Make sure to check out all their great stories online, via Twitter or on Tumblr.
Emily Gover is the information literacy librarian for EasyBib and ResearchReady. You can find her on Twitter, @Emily_EasyBib, or posting news you can use at the EasyBib Librarians Facebook page.

Paris, France
My Rating
I've rated this trip as worth doing.
The reason for this was the speedy access to the tower that came as part of the trip. Got tickets and straight into the lifts and up saving untold time.
The trip started with a coach tour which was interesting but during which it wasn't that easy to see all the sights on view - often they were on the other side or we just couldn't see them clearly.
After the tour the guides issued us with tickets for the tower and then the boat ride. After that we were able to complete the tour as we say fit. Tower was very impressive quite breath taking.
The river trip was pleasant (it was a cold day so the warmth inside the boat was appreciated) but nothing outstanding.
As a combo ticket it was good value and got us out and covering quite a distance round Paris. If you were more interested in the component parts shop around and you'll probably find better options.

Work starts on new play area at Wollaton Park
Posted: April 11, 2014|
WORK on a new play area at Wollaton Park has begun.
The £255,000 project is expected to be finished by the end of June. The play area will be on a grassy section next to the pavilion and opposite the car park.
Equipment will include climbing frames, a five-metre- long slide, swings, a large roundabout, a zip wire, a see-saw and natural play objects including earth mounds, logs and tree stumps.
The money is being provided by a number of organisations, including the city council and waste recycling group Wren.

Virgin America has yet to make an engine selection for its Airbus A320neo aircraft, leaving open the question of the first powerplant choice.
Chief executive David Cush, speaking in Toulouse today, said the airline was about to commence work on the engine selection.
"We plan on starting that process in the next 30 days," he says. The airline uses CFM International CFM56s on its current fleet, which totals 34 aircraft.
The A320neo will be available with CFM's Leap-X or Pratt & Whitney's PW1100G.
Virgin America will start taking its 30 A320neos from 2016. The jets will be configured with 146-149 seats.
Virgin Group's Sir Richard Branson says the company is not fazed by its launch customer status.
"This aircraft is already pretty tried and tested," he says. "There's nothing that radical that we should have any concerns."
Virgin America's A320neos are part of a broader 60-A320 agreement, deliveries of which start in 2013.

1964 Ears Dual Driver Customs
The dual driver model is a great entry to multi-driver IEMs. With a dedicated speaker for the lows, and a smaller, faster speaker for the highs, the dual driver will give you punch and clarity simply not possible with one speaker. Great for vocalists, guitar players and listening to music.
Atomic Floyd Twistjax
Build to provide max bass and max treble the twistjax were intended to replace my battered Sony ex75 in ears. They are the same build with a plug in ear with an acoustic bass chamber for hammering the soft tissue of the outer ear. The bass chamber is made of "acoustic steel" which gives a very solid look. At first the highs and lows are amazing and you hear pumpy basses with sparkling...

Aiken/TASC Challenges
The Aiken Challenge is a program supported by the University of Vermont George D. Aiken Lectures that aims to involve students younger than college age in energy, foreign affairs, agriculture and the environment – topics that long occupied the attention of George D. Aiken, a former U.S. senator and governor of Vermont. In past years the Aiken Challenge has promoted innovation by engaging Vermont schools by challenging student teams to complete important projects such as developing an idea or proposing a solution "that will influence the greatest change in your community" to reduce dependency on foreign oil and address global warming issues. Prizes for the best ideas and solutions are awarded to the teams who develop them. A new Aiken Challenge will be promoted soon!

Subject: Boztepe/Gracie challenge - Entire chain of letters (long)

For all of you that are intersted, I am providing in this post all
the letters that exist (to the best of my knowledge) regarding
Emin Boztepe's challenge to the Gracie Family. If you have no
interest in this subject, then exercise your right of choice and
skip this post/thread. Don't bitch or complain to me because you
can't seem to stop yourself from reading my posts.
The follwoing is a summary of the letters provided:
1. Boztepe's original challenge letter, dated 10/26/94.
2. Art Davie's (W.O.W.) orignal response, dated 12/01/94, to the
letter in which he points out that Boztepe libeled the UFC by
calling it fake. Boztepe is also formally offered a guaranteed
slot in the UFC.
3. Rorion Gracie's response to the challenge letter, faxed 1/19/95
in which he suggests Boztepe accept the invitation to the UFC, or
he can fight Royce at the Torrance Academy.
4. Second letter from Art Davie to Boztepe, dated 1/25/95, in which
he asks Boztepe to retract his statement calling the UFC fake. He
also repeats a verbal offer made to Boztepe guaranteeing him a special
single match with Royce (which would have been the first superfight
that Shamrock received).
5. First letter from Alexander Wallenwein, Boztepe's attorney,
dated 3/3/95, in which he first offers the gym of the Martial Arts
Gazette, as an alternative to the Police Academy.
6. Rorion's response to the lawyer, dated 3/6/95, which he proposes
a firm date for the fight at the Police Academy. In this letter
Rorion refers to the fight as a "demonstration".
7. Wallenwein's response to the Police Acadmey offer, dated
3/6/95, in which he indicates, for the first time, that the fight
Boztepe challenged the Gracies to is in fact illegal and that they
didn't want to fight in front of the Police unless Rorion obtained
a letter from the Mayor or the Chief of Police stating that such
fights are "(a) legal in California, (b) that no law enforcement
personnel will intervene in the fight in any way until it is over,
and (c) that after the fight none of the participants or their
promoters/representatives will be charged with violating any laws".
By the way, it was this letter that convinced Rorion that Boztepe
wasn't serious about fighting them and that the fight was never
going to occur.
8. Rorion's repsonse to the request for a letter from the Mayor or
Chief of Police, dated 3/6/95, in which he states the fight would
be just as illegal if held at the gym of the Martial Arts Gazette,
but Royce would fight there if Boztepe could provide the same letter
they requested earlier from the Mayor or the Chief of Police. This
letter, to the best of my knowledge, was the last letter exchanged
between them.
9. Letter published in Black Belt Magazine in which Royce compares
Boztepe to a circus clown.
10. Letter from Boztepe, dated 4/3/95, that Mike Adams posted to
rec.martial-arts. Supposedly this letter was going to be published
in magazines, but I don't know if it has.
The following letters are reproduced verbatim from the original,
as best as I can (i.e. I can't reproduce changes in font or underlines).
I have copies of the originals for letters 1, and 3-8 above. I
only have electronic versions of 2, 9, and 10.

American WingTsun Organization
Los Angeles, 26th October 1994
After having watched your "Ultimate Fighting Championships" held
by the Gracie-Family, I cannot find them very "ultimate" but only
amusing. These so-called "ultimate fights" may impress layman or
beginners, but in fact they are no more real than the professional
Wrestling shows on TV.
What depresses me is that I have heard of some rumors that I would
not dare to accept your challenge. In fact I have never received
any such challenge! Do you want me to appear like a coward? When I
talked to Benny Urquidez in Germany, he told me that you people had
played him the same dirty old trick for propaganda. Not long ago you
even challenged the great man of American wrestling Gene LaBell. A
very brave act indeed, since Mr. LaBell is over 60 years old.
Now in the second "Ultimate Fighting Championships"-Show you
people even (ab-)used two stupid wing chun men to perform some funny
movements so as to represent "Kung-Fu". And at the same time you
claimed to have defeated two "wing chun"-fighters in the first bout.
Although I am a WingTsun-Fighter of the Leung Ting WingTsun-System,
which is very different from the generic wing chun style in theory
and practice and is highly compatible in ground-fighting, I feel
bad that you brothers use these kinds of dirty tricks to put down
the late Great Grandmaster Yip Man's other students, their schools
as well as other respectable martial arts styles or stylists!
I keep the record of over 300 bare-hand fights and have never been
defeated. However, I have never talked bad about my losers and all
the other styles. But so as to educate you Gracies to respect the
others, my students and I hereby turn the tables on you by challenging
all you people of the Gracy-Family.
I can send 5 or more fighters from the AWTO to fight the Gracies.
If you have more fighters in the Gracie-Family, just inform me and
I shall report this to the International Headquarters and we will
satisfy you with as many fighters as necessary.
We like the so-called "No rules at all" Game as advertised in your
propaganda. No gloves, no time-limit, the person who knocks out
his opponent is the winner. This is exactly the way we WingTsun-people
fought in China in the olden times. We do not mind fighting you people
in the ring set up by your own organization. The only thing that
we want is to fight openly, so all the audience, reporters, TV-people
and martial artists can see if you can really fight against us.
We only want two conditions:
1) We only fight you Gracies. For we do not want to give you the
chance to use any helpful idiots to protect you as "shields".
So we will only fight you directly and no others!
2) The winner takes all the money. We only want our expenses paid.
The rest of the money will all be used for charity.
If you Gracie-brothers dare not to accept our challenge, I do not
mind. But remember: Never put down any other martial art styles
from now on.

I have a copy of your letter to the Gracies being published in
Cinturon Negro in Europe. You expressed an interest in entering
the UFC, but I have some concerns with your letter:
1. The UFC, which is owned by my company in partnership with
Semaphore Entertainment Group in New York, is not a staged
exhibition like professional wrestling. Your letter's
assertion "...in fact they (UFC) are no more real than
professional wrestling shows on TV" is not only false but is,
in the opinion of our attorneys, clearly libelous. Be advised
that we have made a substantial investment in the UFC as a
business, and will do everything, within our legal means to
protect it.
2. The UFC is not controlled by the Gracies; they do not select
the competitors nor arrange the bout order. The opening round
bouts are done by a random draw. A fighter may be matched
against a Gracie in the opening round or be matched against a
Gracie in the second or final round. This is the way the
tournament is structured.
You may remember that I spoke to you on the phone a year ago asking
you to fight the first UFC. You declined, saying you were retired
from such competitions. I am, however,aware of and respect your
reputation as a Wing Tsun stylist; I would suggest to you that a
simple resolution to this issue would be for you to enter UFC V,
scheduled for April 7, 1995. I am sure that a Gracie brother will
be a competitor and your stature is such that I will guarantee you
a selection as one of the eight UFC competitors. I have attached
a UFC application for you to return to me, indicating your
Please call me with any questions. We will, of course, take care
of your travel and accommodations as we do for the other fighters.
Over 1 million people watched the UFC live on TV. Millions more
saw it on delayed broadcast or video. I am sure that you will
appreciate the opportunity to display your art before the millions
who will view the UFC V. Please advise me as soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Boztepe:
In response to your open challenge to the Gracie Family, the
promoters of the UFC, W.O.W. Promotions and Semaphore
Entertainment Group (SEG), are pleased to extend to you a formal
invitation to the UFC V to represent your art. You are perhaps
the most respected fighter in the Wing Tsun world and we are
pleased you are willing to enter.
I must, however, address several points you raised in your letter.
First, whatever you may think about "THE ULTIMATE FIGHTING
CHAMPIONSHIPS(TM)", they are very real bare-knuckle, no-holds barred
matches. This is not "professional wrestling". You will find out
soon enough.
Second, my brother challenged Benny Urquidez after Benny declared
that the Gracie's reputation was a scam developed through a publicity
stunt. When invited to be in the UFC, he declined and used his
retirement as his reason. If inviting a renowned fighter to enter
the Western world's only legal bare-knuckle, no holds-barred tournament
is a "dirty trick" - then I don't know "dirty tricks".
Thirdly, regarding the two Wing Chun fighters that participated in
the UFC II, I want to see the record straight at this point - they
were defeated by fighters other than my brother.
Regarding fighting the Gracies:
The promoters of the UFC have invested a lot of money in the single
elimination concept. This includes a random drawing for the first
round match ups. It would not be fair to the other martial arts
organizations worldwide to change the format of this tournament to
satisfy your request.
Also by entering the UFC V, you will have the opportunity to draw
Royce Gracie in the 1st round, or given your claim of fighting
superiority to face him in the championship match.
Last but not least, let me remind you that while you preached respect
for other martial arts, your reference to the UFC competitors as
"helpful idiots" is not only an obvious contradiction, but is grossly
disrespectful to Champions such as Gerard Gordeau, Orlando Weit,
Minoki Ichihara and Ken Shamrock - who unlike yourself, have already
competed for the title of "The Ultimate Fighter".
For your information, the promoters are more than willing to pick
up all travel and accommodation expenses for you, a trainer and a
manager, so there is no excuse for your absence from the next
If you do not want to compete in the UFC, I will be glad to set up
a date for you to come here, to the Gracie Academy in Torrance, and
have a match with Royce Gracie for the press to view.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Mr. Boztepe:
I am writing to ask you to respond to the request I made in our
last phone conversation on 01/06/95: That you issue a retraction
to the statement you made about the UFC (our tournament), in your
OPEN LETTER TO THE GRACIES, comparing it to staged professional
I have never, nor has anyone in my employ, written or caused to
be published anything negative about you personally or professionally.
You have admitted to me in phone conversations that you were only
angered by gossip on martial arts bulletin boards. This has
nothing to do with me or my company. Fans of your martial art style
and fans of my tournament are unfettered by the First Amendment in
this country in expressing their *opinions* on such bulletin board
You have, however, written and caused to be published in the U.S.
and Europe a letter challenging another martial artist in which
you stated "..."ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP" (TM)...may impress
laymen or beginners, but in fact they are no more real than
professional wrestling shows on TV." As I advised you by FAX on
12/01/94 this statement is not only false but, in the opinion of
counsel, clearly libelous. W.O.W. and its partners, Semaphore
Entertainment Group, have invested million of dollars in the UFC
and will do everyhting in our power to protect this investment.
I have extended in our last two phone conversations an invitation
to you to compete in the UFC. I even offered you a special single
match against Royce Gracie. You have not said yes to either offer.
You, however, continue to give interviews to the martial arts press
proclaiming your challenge. Solely based upon your actions in this
matter, I am left to conclude that you are attempting to use this
all for publicity purposes to further your career and have no desire
to act on your challenge.
Please call me with any questions. We will, of course, take care of
your travel and accomodations as we do for the other fighters. Over
1 million people watched the UFC III Live on TV. Millions more saw
it on delayed broadcast or video. I am sure that you will appreciate
the opportunity to display your art before millions who will view the
UFC V. Please advise me as soon as possible.

Attorney At Law
Dear Mr. Rorion Gracie:
I am writing this letter on behalf of my client, Mr. Emin Boztepe,
Chief Instructor of the American Wing Tsun Organization (AWTO), 5th
Level Master of Wing Tsun (WT).
You allowed your promoter to openly challenge and humiliate old and
retired masters of different styles and did nothing to stop him.
You also watched while your people kept on calling Mr. Boztepe
"chicken" on the Internet computer network.
When my client unexpectedly answered that challenge with a counter
challenge to you to fight you and/or your brother Royce outside
your TV tournament, you never accepted the terms, dates, or the
locations given.
Then, on February 17th you called Mr. Boztepe and told him that
your brother Royce will accept his counter-challenge to your family
and fight Mr. Boztepe on "neutral ground" but initially suggested
your own school. This was of course unacceptable. Thereupon you
said you would call him back that same night in order to give the
exact date and final location of the fight. However, Mr. Boztepe
waited in vain that day, and the next day....
You in fact did not call him back until Tuesday, February 21st.
On that occasion you informed my client that you wanted to hold
the fight at the Los Angeles Police Academy - of which you happen
to be a member - on Thursday February 23rd, only two days later.
You also requested that there should be no public TV coverage, only
video recordings of the fight. Of course Mr. Boztepe told you that he
considered two days advance notice too short. He suggested to hold
the match one week later so that he could make sure that the
newspaper and camera men could be there to record the fight. You
responded that you would "try to arrange it" but then called back
to cancel the fight with the weak excuse that the gym was not
available for the next two weeks and you would call Mr. Boztepe
So as to make it impossible for you to back out of the fight
again, my client suggests once and for all the following date
and location: March 14th in the gym of the "Martial Arts Gazette",
one of the leading martial arts newspapers. If you prefer "Inside
Kung Fu" or "Black Belt", I am sure it can be arranged on the
same date.
After this date Mr. Boztepe has to leave for Europe. If you do
not accept again, Mr. Boztepe and the public must assume that you
or Royce never intended to fight him, and you and your family must
live with that disgrace.
Mr. Boztepe expects you to confirm this date in writing by
March 8th. Please no more phone conversations which lead to
Irrespective of this, you and your promoter still have the
opportunity to apologize to the old masters and retired fighters
you have insulted through your media efforts. That would make a
fight unnecessary.
It is especially this last solution which would please Mr. Boztepe
the most. That way, it would be a victory for the common cause
of all martial arts and their honor and reputation in the public
Very truly yours,
Alexander R. Wallenwein

Dear Mr. Wallenwein:
In regards to your letter of March 3, 1995, in behalf of Mr. Emin
Boztepe, please note the following points:
1. The promoter of the UFC, made a professional and courteous
invitation to famous martial artists to satisfy the requests
of hundreds of fans all over the world, demanding such an
2. I can not control what fans write in the Internet, but I must
inform you that I do not support Mr. Boztepe being called a
3. I didn't find Mr. Boztepe's suggestion of using Benny
Urquidez's or Gene Labelle's schools as a neutral ground, to
be neutral. I thought the Police Academy would truly be
"neutral ground", because Benny Urquidez, Gene Labelle, along
with many other popular martial artists, have met there many
4. As far as scheduling something at the Police Academy you must
understand that I do not have final say in the availability
of their gym. Therefore, when I was informed of the possible
opening, I immediately passed on the information to Mr. Boztepe
who replied "I need more time."
Now for the good news. I have obtained clearance for this demonstration
to take place at the Los Angeles Police Academy, on March 9th, 10th,
or 13th at 8:00pm at their gym. The address is: 1880 N Academy Dr.,
Los Angeles, CA. Please choose one of these dates and reply to me by
fax immediately (310)782-1310.
Your requests for the conditions of the demonstration: waivers, video
taping/promotion, are all agreed upon.
Please understand that Royce Gracie, "The Ultimate Fighter", is
making an unusual exception in your case, as he does not participate
in demonstrations outside of the UFC.
Let's make sure that Mr. Boztepe does not pass up this opportunity.
Otherwise, the fans may think he was using the "gossip" on the
Internet and various other magazines, as a publicity stunt. If you
are concerned with them calling him "chicken" now, imagine what they
will call him if he does not show up at all....
Again, please fax me back immediately with the date you have chosen.
Rorion Gracie
March 6, 1995
Alexander R. Wallenwein
Attorney At Law
Dear Mr. Gracie:
I am pleased to see that you are so willing to have your little
brother Royce defend your family's honor. As you know, Mr.
Boztepe has always preferred to fight you, personally, but Royce
will be an acceptable alternative.
As to the fight location, the Police Academy is unacceptable
because in the State of California fights in the nature of the
challenge match between Royce and Mr. Boztepe - full contact, no
rules, no referees, no time limits - are against the law. The
L.A. Police Department is sworn to uphold the law. They will not
tolerate such a fight without intervening when it begins to get
interesting. Whether Benny Urquidez and Gene LaBelle have met
there on occasion or not has nothing to do with the neutrality
or lack thereof of this fight location.
Your response does not comply with the conditions given in our
last letter to you. Mr. Boztepe will only fight at one of the
three magazine gyms listed there: Martial Arts Gazette, Inside
Kung Fu, or Black Belt Magazine, UNLESS the Los Angeles Chief of
Police or the Chief of the Police Academy gives a written guarantee,
on his personal stationary and signed by him, that such fights are
(a) legal in California, (b) that no law enforcement personnel
will intervene in the fight in any way until it is over, and
(c) that after the fight none of the participants or their
promoters/representatives will be charged with violating any laws.
That written guarantee should be faxed by the author directly to
my office.
If you can provide such a written guarantee, Mr. Boztepe will be
happy to choose one of the dates provided in your letter dated
March 6, 1995. If not, it is up to you to still comply with the
conditions set out in our letter of March 1, 1995.
I must make one final but crucial point: In your letter of this
date you call the fight a "demonstration". Please note once and
for all that this is not intended to be a "demonstration." It
is intended to be a no rules,no holds barred fight. One fighter
wins when the other indicates his submission by tapping out or
throwing the towel. Are the fights in the UFC also just
Please clearly state your position regarding this issue or define
what precisely you mean by that word, today, by fax. In Mr.
Boztepe and the martial art public's mind a "demonstration" is
equivalent to a "show." Please understand that this is NOT going
to be a "show." If you and your brother have any different
perception of the nature of the upcoming fight, please let us
know now. Otherwise, your brother might accidently be seriously
injured without his actual consent. You must be very clear about
Very truly yours,
Alexander R. Wallenwein

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (R)
Dear Mr. Wallenwein:
In response to your fax of March 6, 1995, what would make this
fight "legal" if we did it at Martial Arts Gazette, Inside Kung Fu,
or Black Belt Magazine? They are all located in the State of
California. Wouldn't you be legally concerned about this as well?
This is why the UFC was developed and it takes place in other
states, so there will be no legal impediments.
I agree to have Royce face Mr. Boztepe, if you have any publisher
of one of the above publications, fax to me, a confirmation of
the following: a) that such fights are legal in California;
b) no law enforcement personnel will intervene with the fight
until it is over; and c) that after the fight none of the
participants or promoters will be charged with violating any
Furthermore, they must also agree to allow only 5 people from
each camp to enter their facility - other than the press.
Rorion Gracie
The Highs and Lows of Winning, by Royce Gracie
The Ultimate Fighting Championship has given me a great platform for
demonstrating what my family has believed in for over 65 years: That
the techniques of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu(R) prepare the best fighters in the
world. Winning at the UFC has made what we do very popular, and the
results are that I am getting a lot of attention, and our Academy is
growing like crazy. The publicity surrounding the UFC is very
controversial, and I receive many requests from the media for
interviews. I like to fight and I like the rewards, both emotional
and financial.
The only down side to being The Ultimate Fighting Champion is the
clowns I must deal with who claim to challenge me or the Gracie
Family, and who hide behind the publicity stunt of a challenge with no
intention of meeting me in the octagon. They use the tactics of a
challenge in an attempt to discredit the integrity of my victories,
and support their weak claims of fighting superiority. They then have
the audacity to explain why they do not want or need to fight in the
I heard that there were over 400 applications for UFC IV, and many
fighters make no bones about who they are after - me! We also receive
many direct requests at the Academy from fighters who want to
challenge me, and who feel they deserve special treatment over all of
the other fighters in the UFC, because they are who they think they
are. The final insult comes when we bend over backwards to
accommodate a challenger, who then badgers us with excuses and the
fight never happens.
The most recent example is Emin Boztepe. First came his challenge,
then he told everyone why he does not need to fight in the UFC,
finally all the reasons why a scheduled fight outside the UFC will
never take place. All the while boasting of his alleged fighting
In Boztepe's original challenge letter he made two requests. First,
that he fight only a Gracie. Second, that the winner takes all the
money (Boztepe said he would donate his to charity). Boztepe was
offered a special fight with me in UFC V by Art Davie. With this
offer all the conditions of Boztepe's challenge were met, but Boztepe
then said that he would not compete at the UFC. My brother Rorion,
then went to the effort of setting up a special match at a neutral
location, the Police Academy in Los Angeles. Boztepe then said the
fight was illegal in California, and he would not compete at the
Police Academy because my brother is a "member" and therefore it is
not neutral ground. For the record, the Police Academy is not a
health club and does not have "members". Rorion sits on a civilian
panel that assists the Police Academy with its self defense training.
So does Benny Urquidez and Gene LeBell, whose honor Boztepe is
supposedly defending. Just in case this new excuse is not enough,
Boztepe has his lawyer send a list of guarantees that must be met
before the fight is scheduled. Boztepe then suggested an alternative
location, and when my brother requested the same guarantees as
requested by Boztepe's lawyers, they accused me of not wanting to
I sometimes feel like the lion tamer at a circus dealing with real
lions who have the courage to step into the octagon. I regard
individuals like Boztepe as the clowns who entertain the audience
between performances. Boztepe has an open invitation, and a
guaranteed place at any UFC, yet he cannot bring himself to enter.
He requests a private match, then assigns his lawyer the task of
making sure it never happens.
I can only conclude that Boztepe was never serious about fighting a
Gracie in the first place.
This latest example of a publicity stunt by Boztepe is the final
reason why we will no longer take challenges outside the UFC. I
respect the fighters who have the courage to step into the octagon.
The reason the Ultimate Fighting Championship was developed was to
eliminate legal impediments to staging a real life no-holds-barred
fight. Anyone who wants to fight only the Gracies, please respect
the other fighters who have the guts to compete in the UFC. This
is how to get to Royce Gracie.
April 3, 1995
My original challenge letter was addressed to the Gracie family
because Rorion promotes himself as the head of the Gracie family,
and it appeared that his actions were representative of the entire
family. It has since become quite clear that the entire problem
is with Rorion Gracie (and his partner, Art Davie). It is widely
known now that even Rorion's associates and members of his own
family have trouble with him because of some of his attitudes.
In light of this, I would like to make it quite clear that I have
no problem with any member of the Gracie family other than Rorion
Gracie. I have made it quite clear directly to Rorion that it is
him whom I wish to fight. So far he will not respond to this, and
insists that I fight his little brother Royce. I have nothing
against Royce, but will fight him if he insists on being his brother's
puppet in this matter. Rorion now is even trying to drag other
members of his family in to fight his battles for him - battles
he won't fight himself.
I would also like to make it clear exactly what has been said and
done. Art Davie, Rorion Gracie's partner in WOW Promotions which
promotes the UFCs, called me and invited me to fight in the UFC.
I explained that I only believe in fighting in self-defense, not
for sport, but thanked him for the invitation. A week later,
Gracie Jiu Jitsu students began posting messages on the Internet
essentially calling me chicken for not competing in the UFC. Since
information posted had only been discussed between myself and Art
Davie, I immediately called Art, who denied saying such things
about me and insisted that it was all a misunderstanding and that
no ill will was intended. The GJJ students later publicly apologized
on the Internet, but at least one GJJ student still keeps writing
offensive and misleading - often false - messages.
The damage was done. I did not realize at the time how powerful
a medium the Internet is for quickly and widely spreading news,
opinions, and even gossip. Over the next few months, false rumors
that I refused a direct challenge from the Gracies quickly spread
worldwide. And since the only one I had ever talked to was Art
Davie, I knew that only Art and/or his partner Rorion could be the
original source of these rumors. When the same exact thing was
later done in the martial arts press to old, respected martial
artists such as Gene LeBell, I knew that this was no simple
misunderstanding, but rather a purposeful effort on the part of
Rorion Gracie and Art Davie to promote Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the UFCs
by questioning the courage of famous and respected martial artists
around the world and even damaging their reputations. Seeing
beginning level Wing Chun people invited and placed in the UFCs and
promoted as world-class representatives of their arts only served
to strengthen my perception that Rorion Gracie (and his partner, Art
Davie) were deliberately attacking other martial artists and their
arts to build up Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the UFCs and make a fortune in
the process.
At this point I decided to respond to the Gracies' long-standing open
challenge with a counter challenge. In my letter, I asked only that
I fight only a Gracie, that the event be recorded/televised, and
that the profits after expenses go to charity. Rorion's public reply
offered me a slot in the UFC with no guarantee of fighting a Gracie.
Art Davie wrote me a letter and later called, each time threatening to
sue me if I did not publicly retract statements I made which compared
the UFCs to professional wrestling. During the phone conversation,
it was mentioned in passing that a possible special fight in the UFC
directly with Royce Gracie might be offered me. Later, a letter was
sent to Inside Kung Fu Magazine offering me the special bout. However,
since neither Art Davie nor Rorion is willing to do this for charity,
and since they are threatening to sue me and the UFC is their event,
I will not meet them under these conditions. I do not feel like
making those who would sue me any wealthier. Rorion later amended
his offer to include an offer for me to come fight Royce at Rorion's
school in Torrance.
Since it was obvious that we could not come to terms for a fight at
the UFCs, and since walking directly into their school to fight them
would not be very wise, I countered with a request that the fight be
on neutral ground, and suggested Benny Urquidez's Jet Center or Gene
LeBell's gymnasium. Rorion refused to hold the fight at either
location. About the same time, and without my prior knowledge,
the Martial Arts Gazette called Rorion and confidentially
offered their gym for the challenge match. Rorion refused the offer.
During a phone conversation on February 17th, Rorion told me that
I must fight one of their students first to prove myself worthy of
fighting Royce! Or one of my students must fight one of
theirs first. I told him this was ridiculous, and that I wanted
to fight him, Rorion. Rorion replied, "No!!! You fight Royce!"
I said, "Then I will fight you after I beat Royce," to which Rorion
would not reply. Rorion, like his promoter, prefers sitting behind
a desk in a nice suit and tie challenging and humiliating well-known
and respected martial artists of any style because they both know
that they will not fight anyway.
Rorion was supposed to call back that night with a location and date
for the fight, but did not call back until Tuesday, February 21. He
then offered to let me fight Royce at the Los Angeles Police Academy
in only two days. I asked that it be held one week later because
this was not enough notice to get the media and a professional video
team there. So the fight was scheduled for March 2 with Royce at the
LA Police Academy. Four or five days before the fight was to happen,
Rorion Gracie called me and cancelled the fight, saying that the LA
Police Academy Gym was unavailable for the fight on March 2 and that
he would call back in a couple weeks when other arrangements could
be made. After this cancellation by Rorion, both my attorney and
friends of mine within the law enforcement community advised me not
to fight at the LA Police Academy without a written guarantee that
the police would neither interfere nor bring charges against anyone.
Everyone knows that the police would not really allow a no rules,
bareknuckle fight on their property!
On March 3, my attorney sent a letter to Rorion Gracie summarizing
the events thus far and suggesting that the fight be held on March
14, 1995, at the gym of the Martial Arts Gazette, or at Inside
Kung Fu or Black Belt Magazine if Rorion preferred. He also
said that if Rorion and his promoter apologized to those they
had insulted through their media efforts no fight would be necessary
and that this was actually the preferred solution.
On March 6, 1995, Rorion Gracie responded with a letter which said:
a) The promoter of the UFC had made a professional and courteous
invitation to famous martial artists at the request of fans the
world over; b) he cannot control what "fans" write on the Internet
but that he doesn't support me being called chicken; c) he didn't
think Urquidez's or LeBell's schools were neutral; and d) he
doesn't have control of the LA Police Academy gym's schedule. He
then said he had permission for the "demonstration" to be held on
March 9, 10, or 13 and requested me to choose a date. He agreed
to waivers and taping conditions.
My attorney replied back by fax the same day saying that
a fight at the Police Academy is unacceptable (because Police are
sworn to uphold the law, and such a fight is allegedly illegal in
California) unless the Chief of Police or Chief of the Academy
provides a written guarantee that a) the fight is legal, b) the
police won't intervene, and c) no charges will be filed against
anyone. He also stated that without such a written guarantee
Rorion was still expected to comply with the original conditions
(a fight at the Martial Arts Gazette, Inside Kung Fu, or Black
Belt Magazine). Most important, he questioned Rorion's use of
the word "demonstration". Apparently, the Police were only told
that the gym was to be used for a martial arts demonstration
rather than a no rules, no referees, bareknuckle challenge fight.
Rorion responded the same day with a fax in which he wonders why
I should be concerned about fighting an allegedly illegal
fight on police property in front of police more than I would about
fighting the same allegedly illegal fight at a magazine gymnasium
(with no police present). He then states Royce will only fight at
one of the above magazine's gyms if the chosen magazine will provide
the same three written guarantees that my attorney asked of the
I feel it should be obvious that doing a no rules, bareknuckle
challenge fight on police property and in front of the police (who
are expecting a mere martial arts demonstration!) is far different
than doing a fight in front of magazine publishers who have no legal
power, especially since both sides have agreed to sign waivers not
to press any charges against the other.
So this is where it currently stands: Rorion refuses to fight me
himself. No matter what. Period. He also refuses to let the fight
be done at Gene LeBell's gym or at Benny Urquidez's Jet Center.
Rorion refused a direct, confidential, personal offer from the Martial
Arts Gazette to have the fight there. He cancelled the March 2nd,
1995 fight that was originally agreed upon at the Los Angeles Police
Academy and he refused to let Royce fight on March 14th, 1995 at the
Martial Arts Gazette or Inside Kung Fu or Black Belt Magazine.
At this point I find myself deeply surprised at Rorion Gracie's
apparent lack of honor in this situation. But his statement in one
letter that he does not support me "being called a 'chicken'" seems
to indicate that he has some honor. Now if he would just say this
about the others whom he or his associates have insulted, challenged,
or humiliated, and apologize publicly, this whole mess would be done.
Or he could just take off his suit and tie and come out from behind
his desk and fight me himself.

I think it is funny that the first superfight was started because someone called Emin Boztepe a Chicken on the internet......Sorry if this is old news and been done many times before on this form.

Speaker Reviews
Earthquake MiniMe P10 Subwoofer
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 26 June 2008
I keep thinking that subwoofer technology improvements have flattened out, but I keep getting proven wrong. The Earthquake MiniMe P10 is a good example of that. It is small, lightweight, easy to set up, and best of all, it delivers.
Jaton Lyra HD-661 DX Monitor Speakers
- Written by Rick Schmidt
- Published on 23 June 2008
The drivers in the HD 661 DX are where the expense lies. Costs are kept down by using plastic enclosures. Resonances are addressed with internal damping as well as the shape. I found that the overall effect is a success as long as the speakers are carefully placed – as it was in my home theater system where the left and right fronts are essentially contained on all sides except the front.

Daedalus DA-2.1 Home Theater Speakers
- Written by Rick Schmidt
- Published on 29 May 2008
The Daedalus 2.1s seem to transcend the notion of fatigue, moving to the other side of the scale: listener rejuvenation? Call it what you will, I can't seem to stop listening. My TiVo is full, and my Netflix is backed up because music has jumped to the top of my priorities.
KEF Reference 205/2 Floor-standing Speakers
- Written by Piero Gabucci
- Published on 03 April 2008
Bigger is still better, period - at least when it comes to two-channel systems. Believe me I've heard many fine sounding monitors (with and without a separate subwoofer) auditioned at shows and in my own listening room. Several reviewed I've purchased or wanted to badly, yet like the preverbal big fish I throw them back to wait for the one that's just too amazing to return. Read our review of the KEF 205/2 floor-standers. They would fit anyone's needs.

Montana EPS2 Floor-standing Speakers
- Written by John E. Johnson, Jr.
- Published on 12 May 2008
Montana Loudspeakers, marketed by PBN Audio, is a company whose products I have been very interested in for a long, long time. I have seen them at numerous hi-fi shows, and since I have two massive 1,200 watt monoblock power amplifiers that I like to pair with massive speakers once in awhile, I have been attracted to the Montana's, partly because the line includes some really big models. But more importantly, they have always impressed me with the sound quality at shows - which is not easy to do because the rooms are less than ideal - and they are incredibly beautiful.
Epik Conquest Subwoofer
- Written by Kevin Lichterman
- Published on 05 March 2008
Epik's new Conquest subwoofer is the size of a small refridgerator and has an 18" driver with a 1000 watt power amplifier. Does size make a difference in performance? Read our review to find out.
Eggleston Works The Nine Floor-standing Speakers
- Written by Jason Victor Serinus
- Published on 28 April 2008
Sometimes a disappointing start can lead to a glorious finish. Such has been my experience with Eggleston Works' The Nine, a beautiful loudspeaker that more than deserves the copious amounts of praise it is receiving here and abroad. I have spent a long time – far too long, with The Nines. I have done so for purely selfish reasons. I have grown quite fond of these babies, and will be sad to see them go. But other speakers are on their way, and there's only so much room at the Inn.

******** BENCH TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN ADDED 3/17/08 ******** Von Schweikert's new VisiUN center channel speaker is nirvana, with its detailed, powerful sound that does not diminish for off-axis listeners. Expensive? Yes, and worth every penny. For those of you who want the ultra-cool, it's got the same paint finish as the USA Stealth Bomber. Read this exclusive review to find out why.

So what I hear you saying is that it is normal human behavior for a normal thinking human to take a gun and shoot his girlfriend in the head and then shoot himself??

Voices against Violence curriculum is now available!
11 October 2013
To mark International Day of the Girl, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and UN Women are pleased to announce the official launch of Voices against Violence: a unique non-formal co-educational initiative on violence against girls.
As part of the Stop the Violence: speak out for girl's rights campaign, this curriculum will help five million children and young people learn to talk about violence, understand its root causes, recognize their rights and develop the skills and confidence to claim those rights for themselves and others. It will empower girls and boys, young women and young men to be leaders, to speak out and take action.
Education is a key tool in eliminating and preventing gender-based violence. This curriculum provides knowledge, skills and opportunities to change attitudes and to help stop the violence. It creates safe and supportive sessions for young people to learn about their rights and to discuss and challenge violence against women and girls.
"We invite each of you to join us in raising your voices against violence. The curriculum is not just for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Deliver it to your members, use the activities at your events and training, come along to our trainings and so much more."Mary Mc Phail, Chief Executive, World Association
The curriculum is designed for participants who are at an important stage of their life cycle when they are forming their own friendships and relationships; when they are considering what it means to be themselves; when they are developing their own beliefs and attitudes, and their own values about gender norms, roles and expectations. This curriculum provides interactive, child and youth-centred ways for young people to talk about relationships, gender equality and abuse, within a safe and supportive environment.
The Voices against Violence curriculum section on the website provides an overview of the curriculum, how it works, the curriculum handbook and sample activities. The pathways to delivery explains how you can start your Voices against Violence journey today.
|For more information on the curriculum download the Voices against Violence leaflet, or visit the Voices against Violence section of the website.

Woe the Digital Sale: Job-Hopping Blues
by Amy Auerbach, Jason Krebs on Aug 28, 12:15 PM
Last week I found out that a person whom I've been calling on and speaking with about a deal for months at an agency has left the company. I know nobody else there and I dread starting over. As if selling advertising right now isn't hard enough. Any help? -- Salesperson from a large digital media company

What the Best Sites Know
by Kevin Mannion on Aug 27, 10:48 AM
The good news: just as many RFPs are going out now as did last year. The bad news: the average site had a 50/50 chance of getting on the buy last year; the average site now has a one in three shot. After years of expansion, the digital marketplace is consolidating during this recessionary economy.

The Elephant in The Room: A 'Creative Stimulus' Plan
by Daniel Ambrose on Aug 21, 2:23 PM
Lame creative is the elephant in the room. No publisher or salesperson wants to criticize the agencies that are placing business with them. But experts who see a lot of creative tested know that far greater lift in results can be had from improved creative than from "optimized" media targeting. And a great way to optimize creative is to tailor it to each audience.

Do We Matter?
by David Koretz on Aug 20, 3:30 PM
Like most of you, I prefer to think that I walk into the office each day to do something more than just make money and pass the time. This discomfort with our industry's impact on the world lead me to ask several questions: How do we make the world better? How could we make a bigger difference? Most important, how do we ensure that when we die, our tombstone doesn't read, "He handled a lot of insertion orders."

Letting The Cookie Crumble Will Bake Better Creative
by Ari Rosenberg on Aug 13, 11:15 AM
Giving users the tools to choose what cookies they want to shape their online experience versus the option to remove them won't make cookies disappear, but will remove an ominous shadow our medium casts. Tracking someone's behavior because we think it's best for them doesn't even sound normal, let alone appropriate. And yet the benefits are recognizable to the user -- and as a market, we must continue to excel at producing offerings for advertisers powered by superior technology.

How Is Bond Trading Like Online Advertising?
by Steve Pelletier on Aug 7, 10:15 AM
I was visiting with the CEO and the SVP of Operations at a large online publisher and we started talking about ways to increase revenues and efficiencies. The CEO asked what kind of skills are needed to best manage the online ad business and make sure that the revenue needle is pegged at all times. To my surprise and delight, the SVP answered, "bond traders." That got me thinking about what a great question (and answer) that was. And provided me a topic for a quick post.

We're All Fruit
by Kory Kredit on Aug 6, 12:50 PM
In the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" the father of the bride, Gus Portokalos, takes a moment during a pre-wedding feast to wax philosophic about the differences between the Portokalos family and the groom's family, the Millers. He explains that Portokalos means orange (like the fruit) in Greek, and the root of the word Miller means apple in Greek. The conclusion he draws from this nugget of Grecian trivia is that "We're different, but in the end, we're all fruit." Classically brilliant.

Johann Gutenberg's Bible
Gutenberg's (42-line) Bible
British Library C.9.d.4, f.1
Copyright © The British Library Board

Probably the most famous Bible in the world, Gutenberg's 42-line Bible is the earliest full-scale work printed in Europe using movable type. Printed in Mainz (Germany) by Johann Gutenberg and associates, fewer than 50 copies of the original now survive, in public and private collections around the world.
This Latin Bible was the work of a partnership between Johann Gutenberg, Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer, which was dissolved in 1455 after the completion of the book.
Only 48 copies are known to have survived, of which 12 are printed on vellum and 36 on paper. Twenty are complete, two of them at the British Library. Many, including the British Library's lavish paper copy, married the new technology of printing with the old, and contain hand-painted decoration so as to imitate the appearance of an illuminated manuscript. The result was a work of exceedingly high quality which set standards for book production which in many ways are still unsurpassed today.
This is the introductory page to the Proverbs. The illustrations depict scenes from the natural world: monkeys, birds and flowers, suggesting echoes of Eden. The text is very legible and is made clearer by the use of highlighted first letters for new sentences.

Less than a week after German customs officials seized a capuchin from Justin Bieber, the critter seems to be taking the separation just fine. (Sound familiar?)
In fact, the monkey, named Mally, is in good company in Munich, where he's keeping close with his favorite stuffed toy at an animal shelter. But kissy encounters aside, we're thinking the monkey, Bieber's 19th birthday present, misses his human.
"Justin Bieber brought his monkey to Germany but had no official paperwork with him," Thomas Meister, spokesman for the customs office at the Franz Josef Strauss Airport in Munich, told PEOPLE at the time. "We were forced to confiscate the animal." The recently single pop star will reportedly be charged with a fine and the costs of the quarantine.
Bieber has a month to present German authorities with the papers needed to release the monkey, or the pet will stay in an animal shelter long-term, reports Reuters.
