The Yiddish Policemen's Union: A Novelby Michael Chabon
Staff Pick
This book's premise is FDR's suggestion, back when Israel was being created, that the Jewish Diaspora settle in Alaska. Chabon makes that scenario a reality, except that when the book begins, the Sitka District is set to revert to Alaskan control. Meyer Landsman is a homicide detective who has one last case to solve before losing his livelihood due to said reversion. Of course, this case has all sorts of problems, diversions, dead ends, and sideways tacks to keep Landsman and his cohorts busy for 400-plus pages. Chabon has created a humorous and sad world as only he can, combining a love story, a Chandleresque noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption. Another stellar novel from Mr. Chabon.
After winning the Pulitzer Prize for his groundbreaking The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Michael Chabon returns for another literary tour de force. In a "what-if" story for adults, Chabon imagines that Alaska was turned into a Jewish state after World War II. Combining speculative and detective fiction with his own distinctive literary stylings, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is an unforgettable novel.
"Echoing Philip Roth's The Plot Against America, Chabon has taken a potential but unrealized historical twist and fashioned it into an entertaining literary novel, one that asks many pertinent questions and, in its alternate reality, seems a perfect fit for the post-9/11 world....Chabon demonstrates once again with The Yiddish Policemen's Union that he ranks among the most important, and interesting, contemporary American novelists." Erik Spanberg, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire CSM review)
"There's no doubting the entertainment on offer here; but I could not help feeling tantalized, as I was zoomed along the hairpin plot, by glimpses of more lastingly nourishing fare. Dangling over this generic crime story are a fabulist's profound concerns about the spiritual and political directions actually taken by Jews and, for that matter, by a United States touched by fanatical Christianity. It's tricky, though, to reach for such offerings when you're holding on to your hat." Joseph O'Neill, The Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize comes a monumental work of imagination and his first full-length adult novel since the bestselling Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
What if, as Franklin Roosevelt once proposed, Alaska — and not Israel — had become the homeland for the Jews after World War II? In Michael Chabon's Yiddish-speaking "Alyeska," Orthodox gangs in side curls and knee breeches roam the streets of Sitka, where Detective Meyer Landsman discovers the corpse of a heroin-addled chess prodigy in the flophouse Meyer calls home.
Marionette strings stretch back to the hands of charismatic Rebbe Gold, the leader of an extremist Orthodox sect whose influence runs powerfully through the web of Sitka society — but behind the rebbe looms an even greater provocateur....Despite sensible protests from Berko, his half-Tlingit, half-Jewish partner, Meyer is determined to unsnarl the meaning behind the murder. Even if that entails surrendering his badge and his dignity to the chief of Sitka's homicide unit — also known as his fearsome ex-wife, Bina.
The Yiddish Policemen's Union interweaves homage to the stylish menace of 1940s noir with a bittersweet fable of identity, home, and faith. It is a novel of colossal ambition and heart from one of our most important and beloved writers at work today.
"[Signature] Reviewed by Jess Walter They are the 'frozen Chosen,' two million people living, dying and kvetching in Sitka, Alaska, the temporary homeland established for displaced World War II Jews in Chabon's ambitious and entertaining new novel. It is — deep breath now — a murder-mystery speculative-history Jewish-identity noir chess thriller, so perhaps it's no surprise that, in the back half of the book, the moving parts become unwieldy; Chabon is juggling narrative chainsaws here. The novel begins — the same way that Philip Roth launched The Plot Against America — with a fascinating historical footnote: what if, as Franklin Roosevelt proposed on the eve of World War II, a temporary Jewish settlement had been established on the Alaska panhandle? Roosevelt's plan went nowhere, but Chabon runs the idea into the present, back-loading his tale with a haunting history. Israel failed to get a foothold in the Middle East, and since the Sitka solution was only temporary, Alaskan Jews are about to lose their cold homeland. The book's timeless refrain: 'It's a strange time to be a Jew.' Into this world arrives Chabon's Chandler-ready hero, Meyer Landsman, a drunken rogue cop who wakes in a flophouse to find that one of his neighbors has been murdered. With his half-Tlingit, half-Jewish partner and his sexy-tough boss, who happens also to be his ex-wife, Landsman investigates a fascinating underworld of Orthodox black-hat gangs and crime-lord rabbis. Chabon's 'Alyeska' is an act of fearless imagination, more evidence of the soaring talent of his previous genre-blender, the Pulitzer Prize — winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.Eventually, however, Chabon's homage to noir feels heavy-handed, with too many scenes of snappy tough-guy banter and too much of the kind of elaborate thriller plotting that requires long explanations and offscreen conspiracies. Chabon can certainly write noir — or whatever else he wants; his recent Sherlock Holmes novel, The Final Solution, was lovely, even if the New York Times Book Review sniffed its surprise that the mystery novel would 'appeal to the real writer.' Should any other snobs mistake Chabon for anything less than a real writer, this book offers new evidence of his peerless storytelling and style. Characters have skin 'as pale as a page of commentary' and rough voices 'like an onion rolling in a bucket.' It's a solid performance that would have been even better with a little more Yiddish and a little less police. Jess Walter was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Award for The Zero and the winner of the 2006 Edgar Award for best novel for Citizen Vince." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"What sort of writer is Michael Chabon? The question, especially considering his terific new novel, 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union,' is complicated. Of course he's literary, author of the Pulitzer-winning 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay' and other marvelous books of fiction. His work is page-turning and poignant; he is one of the best writers of English prose alive. But Chabon has an... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) avowed interest in forms considered perhaps less than literary. He's edited two anthologies of pulp-inspired stories for McSweeney's, written a 'story of detection' featuring Sherlock Holmes, and he 'presents' a comic book quarterly starring one of the superheroes of 'Kavalier & Clay.' He's interested in busting the chains of everydayness that bind many so-called literary writers: He wants to move and thrill us both, and he does. Reading 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union' is like watching a gifted athlete invent a sport using elements of every other sport there is — balls, bats, poles, wickets, javelins and saxophones. The book begins with the introduction of a hungover detective to a gunshot corpse in a fleabag hotel. Classic noir, except that the detective drinks slivovitz instead of bourbon: He's Jewish, a kind of Philip Marlovsky named Meyer Landsman, though Landsman is a cop — a 'noz' in the yiddisher slang of the book — not a PI. The whole local police force is Jewish: The book is set in a present-day alternate reality in Sitka, Alaska, a safe haven set up for Jewish refugees after World War II and the collapse of Israel. Now, after nearly 60 years, the Federal District of Sitka is about to revert to American rule. There are elements of an international terrorist thriller, complicated by religious conspiracy and a band of end-of-the-world hopefuls, and yet the book has a dimly lit 1940s vibe. Maybe that's just because of what Jews and movie dicks have always had in common: felt hats and an affinity for bad weather. The prose is Chandlerian, too — lyrical, hard-boiled and funny all at once: 'In the street the wind shakes rain from the flaps of its overcoat. Landsman tucks himself into the hotel doorway. Two men, one with a cello case strapped to his back, the other cradling a violin or viola, struggle against the weather toward the door of Pearl of Manila across the street. The symphony hall is ten blocks and a world away from this end of Max Nordau Street, but the craving of a Jew for pork, in particular when it has been deep-fried, is a force greater than night or distance or a cold blast off the Gulf of Alaska. Landsman himself is fighting the urge to return to room 505, and his bottle of slivovitz, and his World's Fair souvenir glass.' Landsman, macerated in brandy and sadness, becomes interested in the hotel corpse, though he has enough dead bodies in his own past to keep him busy: a never-born child, a possibly murdered sister and a father who committed suicide, not to mention the ghost of his marriage to a Sitka policewoman. Landsman calls up his partner and cousin, Berko Shemets, a half-Jewish half-Tlingit big man with a soft heart and what passes in this novel for a happy home life. The corpse turns out to be a chess prodigy and heroin addict, the wayward son of a powerful head of a Jewish sect called the Verbovers, and possibly the key to the essential mysteries of both his own death and the future of the Jews. Landsman and Shemets are on the case, even though any number of people try to throw them off. There are plenty of twists, and the detective finds himself knocked unconscious at the end of more than one chapter and muzzy-headed at the start of the next, which is what it means to be the hero of novels that aren't strictly literary. The book calls to mind another recent bad-for-the-Jews speculative novel by a major writer, 'The Plot Against America.' But while Philip Roth's alternate history asks, 'What if?' Chabon's is an explosion that simply says, 'Look here!' He sets about imagining the whole strange world of Aleyska, American-flavored but not American. The pure reach and music and weight of Chabon's imagination are extraordinary, born of brilliant ambition you don't even notice because it is so deeply entertaining. He invents every corner of this strange world — the slang of the 'Sitkaniks,' their history, discount houses, divey bars, pie shops. Despite the complications of the plot, the details of the world are every bit as enthralling. You read so that you can keep following Landsman through doors and down alleys as he pieces together the corpse's past and worries about his own. You can't wait to see what kind of compelling oddball steps out of the next wedge of shadow: the pie man's sad daughter, the 4-foot-7 Tlingit police inspector named Willie Dick. (It's possible that Chabon has too much fun with his names at times.) Toward the end, the book falters a bit. It's not exactly a cartoon gone off a cliff — a loss of 'the foolish coyote faith that could keep you flying as long as you kept kidding yourself you could fly.' Still, it's as though Chabon the virtuosic athlete looked down at his legs and got confused as to what kind of sport he was actually playing. The solution to the murder mystery feels like the last piece of a puzzle snapped into place instead of a startling revelation; the international thriller ticks away offstage; some of the banter is too Howard-Hawks-perfect; and what happens to Meyer Landsman seems like what the book and its conventions — as distinct from fate — require of him. Still, what goes before is beautiful and breakneck; Chabon is a master of such contradictions. 'Something wistful tugs at his memory,' he writes of his hero, 'a whiff of some brand of aftershave that nobody wears anymore, the jangling chorus of a song that was moderately popular one August twenty-five summers ago.' That is part of Chabon's project as well, to conjure up the music, smells, architecture, fashions — the soul, in other words — of worlds utterly imaginary, and yet palpably lost, and make us nostalgic for them. The moving, shopworn whiz-bang of historical visions of the future — world's fairs, Esperanto, a belief that the Jews of the world will stop wandering and find a peaceful home somewhere on the planet — Chabon loves, buries and mourns these visions as beautiful but too fragile to live. The future will always be a fata morgana. In this strange and breathtaking novel, the wise, unhappy man settles for closer comforts. As Landsman says, toward the end of the book, 'My homeland is in my hat.' Elizabeth McCracken is writer in residence at Skidmore College."

"Chabon manipulates his bulging plot masterfully, but what makes the novel soar is its humor and humanity....Chabon's Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay ran the book-award table in 2000, and this one just may be its equal." Booklist (Starred Review)
"[A]n alternate-history novel that succeeds as both a hardboiled detective story and a softhearted romance....A page-turning noir, with a twist of Yiddish, that satisfies on many levels." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"[W]ildly inventive....Raucous, acidulous, decidedly impolite, yet stylistically arresting, this book is bloody brilliant — and if it's way over the top, that's what makes Chabon such a great writer. Highly recommended." Library Journal (Starred Review)
"[B]uilds upon the achievement of Kavalier & Clay, creating a completely fictional world that is as persuasively detailed as [Chabon's] re-creation of 1940s New York in that earlier book, even as it gives the reader a gripping murder mystery and one of the most appealing detective heroes to come along since Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"It is very good — let's just say that at the outset — a larger-than-life folk tale set in an alternate universe version of the present where issues of exile and belonging, of identity, nationality, freedom and destiny are examined through a funhouse mirror that renders them opaque and recognizable all at once." Los Angeles Times
"[A] raucous, energetic novel that proves again Chabon's brilliance at inventing entire alternate worlds that are grounded in the truest of details and yet have a soaring, near fantastical quality." Houston Chronicle
"It's disappointing to find this novel to be little more than a jokey pastiche of the generic noir detective story, rather than the wished-for full-blooded literary novel. What's even more disheartening is witnessing such a talented writer wasting his ability and the reader's patience with such an inept and offensive piece of work." Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"Some readers will adore this book and admire its undeniable originality, rich language and audacity. Others will hate it and find it bleak, overwrought and bewildering. But it will provoke strong reactions." USA Today
"Chabon is attempting to cross Raymond Chandler with Isaac Bashevis Singer, and his hybrid is bracing and fun, and not only because the women in The Yiddish Policeman's Union are more than male foils." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"[A] virtuoso imagining....The alternate universe he plays in is jokier and cartoon-broader than usual, but Chabon the serious artist means business....By the end, the plot bulges like a fatty pastrami sandwich. But in such an unholy land, what's not to love? (Grade: A-)" Entertainment Weekly
"The Yiddish Policemen's Union is certainly entertaining, a sprawling, poignant Judaic carnival on the tundra, where European Jewish culture might have ended up, had it not been destroyed." Chicago Sun-Times
"It's half-brilliant but half-boring, maybe because Chabon has so fallen under the sway of his creation that he lost control of its tenets." Boston Globe
"The hardboiled language of pulp spills from Chabon's characters'....[A] vibrant reimagining of the roman noir." Oregonian
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay pens an homage to the stylish menace of 1940s noir, in a novel that imagines if Alaska, not Israel, had become the homeland for the Jews after World War II.
A profoundly moving, deliciously suspenseful novel about an American grandfather and a newly orphaned boy racing across the Norwegian wilderness, fleeing demons both real and imagined.
Crime Writers Association John Creasey Dagger Award winner
An ECONOMIST TOP FICTION TITLE OF THE YEAR
A luminous novel, a police thriller, and the funniest book about war crimes and dementia you are likely to read
Sheldon Horowitz—widowed, impatient, impertinent—has grudgingly agreed to leave New York and move in with his granddaughter, Rhea, and her new husband, Lars, in Norway: a country of blue and ice with one thousand Jews, not one of them a former Marine sniper in the Korean War turned watch repairman, who failed his only son by sending him to Vietnam to die. Not until now, anyway.
Home alone one morning, Sheldon witnesses a dispute between the woman who lives upstairs and an aggressive stranger. When events turn dire, Sheldon seizes and shields the neighbors young son from the violence, and they flee the scene. But old age and circumstances are altering Sheldons experience of time and memory. He is haunted by dreams of his son Sauls life and by guilt over his death. As Sheldon and the boy look for a haven in an alien world, reality and fantasy, past and present, weave together, forcing them ever forward to a wrenching moment of truth.
Norwegian by Night introduces an ensemble of unforgettable characters—Sheldon and the boy, Rhea and Lars, a Balkan war criminal named Enver, and Sigrid and Petter, the brilliantly dry-witted investigating officers—as they chase one another, and their own demons, through the wilderness at the end of the world.
For sixty years, Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of revelations of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. Proud, grateful, and longing to be American, the Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant, gritty, soulful, and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. For sixty years they have been left alone, neglected and half-forgotten in a backwater of history. Now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end: once again the tides of history threaten to sweep them up and carry them off into the unknown.
But homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. He and his half-Tlingit partner, Berko Shemets, can't catch a break in any of their outstanding cases. Landsman's new supervisor is the love of his life—and also his worst nightmare. And in the cheap hotel where he has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under Landsman's nose. Out of habit, obligation, and a mysterious sense that it somehow offers him a shot at redeeming himself, Landsman begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy. But when word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, Landsman soon finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, hopefulness, evil, and salvation that are his heritage—and with the unfinished business of his marriage to Bina Gelbfish, the one person who understands his darkest fears.
At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, an homage to 1940s noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.

It was spectacular!

Valentino Rossi took a pay cut to get back on the factory Yamaha after two years with Ducati, but most of us might not need tissue when we learn that the multi-time World Champion has slipped from 20th to 51st on the Forbes list of the top 100 moneymakers in sports.
Rossi will make $22 million in 2013.
The list is led by Tiger Woods, the golfer returning to the top after losing it last year to Floyd "Money" Mayweather. Woods held the top spot from 2001 to 2012, before running into issues with women, trees and sponsors (not necessarily in that order). But he has since regained not only his golf game, but his number-one ranking and fortune. The native Californian who now calls Florida home leads the way with annual earnings of $78.1 million.
Tennis great Roger Federer is second on the list with Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant third.
The top motorsports earner is Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, the Brit earning $27.5 million per annum.

This is the courtyard of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. This is the traditionally-held place of the Crucifixion and burial of Jesus.
In this church, you will find what many believe to be the tomb of Jesus, the spot where the cross was raised, and the prison He was held. It is an immense church which is almost always filled with people worshiping. The first church to be built on this site was in the 4th century, and this church is from the middle ages.
I will post one picture from inside shortly.
There is one other spot that many believe could be the spot of his death and burial too ... I will post that later, as well.

This study adds to the growing body of literature supporting the use of preoperative radiation therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. The addition of chemotherapy clearly improves local control which adds to the historical data supporting 5FU being used with radiation. This study uses rather antiquated chemotherapy with 5FU given as a bolus infusion. Most centers have moved to using 5FU as a continuous infusion or orally to better complement the daily radiation therapy. This study did not improve the sphincter preservation rate, which is different from the results of the German Rectal Study. However, the tumors in this study were lower and more likely to be involving the sphincter, which may explain this result. Further studies, adding newer agents to preoperative radiation therapy are warranted. Ongoing studies include the addition of oxaliplatin, erbitux, and bevacizumab to this regimen.

Having applauded the innovative way Ngāti Waewae brought tradition to life through the wāhine mau rākau at the opening of Tūhuru Arahura Marae, I was taken aback to hear criticism of wāhine in these roles. I asked myself, "Is this really the 21st century?" as our history clearly shows wāhine took on these roles far earlier than this.Read More

My Life in France (Movie Tie-in)by Julia Child and Alex Prud'homme
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In her own words, here is the captivating story of Julia Child's years in France, where she fell in love with French food and found "her true calling."
From the moment the ship docked in Le Havre in the fall of 1948 and Julia watched the well-muscled stevedores unloading the cargo to the first perfectly soigné meal that she and her husband, Paul, savored in Rouen en route to Paris, where he was to work for the USIS, Julia had an awakening that changed her life. Soon this tall, outspoken gal from Pasadena, California, who didn't speak a word of French and knew nothing about the country, was steeped in the language, chatting with purveyors in the local markets, and enrolled in the Cordon Bleu.
After managing to get her degree despite the machinations of the disagreeable directrice of the school, Julia started teaching cooking classes herself, then teamed up with two fellow gourmettes, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, to help them with a book they were trying to write on French cooking for Americans. Throwing herself heart and soul into making it a unique and thorough teaching book, only to suffer several rounds of painful rejection, is part of the behind-the-scenes drama that Julia reveals with her inimitable gusto and disarming honesty.
Filled with the beautiful black-and-white photographs that Paul loved to take when he was not battling bureaucrats, as well as family snapshots, this memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia embraced so wholeheartedly. Above all, she reveals the kind of spirit and determination, the sheer love of cooking, and the drive to share that with her fellow Americans that made her the extraordinary success she became.
Le voici. Et bon appétit!
"[Julia's] ripe, fruity tone and sensibility seem to fill the book." The Oregonian
"In the same way Child's this-way-and-that television delivery never lost its viewers' attention, her elegant but unfussy prose pulls the reader into her stories." Chicago Sun-Times
"Some of the most interesting aspects of the memoir revolve around the way the three original authors of Mastering butted heads throughout the decade or more that the book took to write." Washington Post
The enchanting, bestselling memoir by America's most beloved chef, My Life in France is being reissued to coincide with the movie based on Julia Child's life, starring Meryl Streep. Illustrations throughout.
This dishy and delightful, never-before-published correspondence between America's queen of food, Julia Child, and her confidante and mentor Avis DeVoto, shows not only the blossoming of a lifelong friendship, but also an America on the verge of political, social, and gastronomic transformation.
Julia Child single handedly awakened America to the pleasures of good cooking with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, but as she reveals in this bestselling memoir, she didn't know the first thing about cooking when she landed in France.
Indeed, when she first arrived in 1948 with her husband, Paul, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever. Julia's unforgettable story unfolds with the spirit so key to her success as as a cook and teacher and writer, brilliantly capturing one of the most endearing American personalities of the last fifty years.

Buffalo, NY - Wednesday, grounds crews at UB were busy getting the campus spruced up for President Obama's visit.
"It's kind of the calm before the storm right now," says UB's John DellaContrada.
While our cameras are not allowed to shoot video of them inside, the Secret Service and White House advance teams are on campus setting everything up for the President's speech on higher education.
"There is a lot of excitement and, of course, we're going through our usual University business. Moving a lot of students in this week, so there's a lot of excitement about the first week of classes, too," adds DellaContrada.
And, for those of us who don't have a ticket, the Presidential visit may still impact our day.
With Air Force One expected to land at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport around 10:30, a no fly zone will be established so that no planes can take off and no planes can land at the airport.
You can expect minimal flight delays, and some traffic tie-ups, as streets are blocked off for the President's bus.
Once inside the terminal, expect business as usual.
"People shouldn't have to expect to go through any more security. You may see an additional police car. You may see a couple extra police officers in the vicinity, but by and large, business will be as normal tomorrow as it is today as an example," says NFTA's Doug Hartmayer.
And, if you just want to try to get a glimpse of Air Force One, good luck.
"You'll be able to see it fly into the airport, but exactly how close they will let people park and people stand, I'm not clear on that and that's certainly up to the Secret Service to set those parameters," Hartmayer says.
Once the President finishes his speech at UB, he will take the bus all the way to Henninger High School in Syracuse on the Thruway.
State Police tell us you can expect closures from late morning to early afternoon in our area.
There are twelve exits between here and Syracuse, and they will likely all be impacted during the 2 hour and 15 minute trip. As the motorcade goes through each exit, traffic will be stopped from getting on the Thruway.
Since the President's schedule is fluid, State Police say be ready for last minute changes in travel plans.
Police will try to get traffic moving as soon as they can, and they think closures will last less than an hour.
We still do not know whether the President will stop for lunch in Buffalo, or if he will grab it on his way to Syracuse where he is scheduled to speak Thursday night.

Taking Toxics Out of the Air
Progress in Setting "Maximum Achievable Control Technology" Standards Under the Clean Air Act
Air toxics are those air pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health problems. Each year, millions of tons of air toxics are released into the air, mostly from manmade sources. This document describes what air toxics are, where they come from, and how they can impact people and the environment. It also describes the steps being taken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce emissions of air toxics from major industrial sources such as chemical manufacturing plants, petroleum refineries, and steel manufacturing plants.

Midwest Living Review
Marking its 46th year in 2011, the Medora Musical carries on a tradition of patriotic songs, country-western tunes, gospel music, Teddy Roosevelt history and Christian values in a show that is appropriate for both young kids and older adults. While the musical is clearly the main attraction in Medora -- it changes every year -- you could easily go to Medora and enjoy your visit without splurging on this show. With a reserved seating capacity of 2,856, the Burning Hills Amphitheater is a top-notch place to watch the entertainment, and regulars know to bundle up and bring blankets, even when the daytime temps soar into the 90s. The show, which starts at 8:30 p.m. nightly, is new every year, but when we visited it felt very long and was what we would consider somewhat schizophrenic. The first half was fine -- it features 10 Burning Hills singers/dancers who do countrified covers of popular songs, plus a ditty or two about loving North Dakota. An elderly cowboy emcee presides over it all and helps move the loose story line along. But the second act was awful. The show we attended in August 2010 started with a bad variety act -- clowns, magic, joke-telling that struck us as out of place and unnecessary. Then the show moved to a Teddy Roosevelt history lesson, which is fairly serious and dark. Then we see a lone cowboy on horseback making his way down the butte behind the stage. Then we're back to the happy-happy singing-dancing couples. Tickets are $30-$34 for adults; kids are admitted free on Wednesdays and Sundays, so there are lots of kids there on those evenings. We were there on Monday night, and it was pretty heavy on the senior citizen crowd who clearly delighted in this show. We would have been happy to head back to the parking lot via the new seven-story open-air escalator at halftime.

The Friends of the Ogdensburg Public Library announced Friday the receipt of a $25,000 gift, the first major donation to the recently-incorporated group that supports the programs and services of the library.
Drs. Ravinder and Barbara Agarwal donated $25,000 to the Friends for the creation of the Barbara and Ravinder Agarwal Fund.
The uses of this fund as stipulated is for library materials and to allow the Friends to sponsor programs and contests for children, especially to promote writing, public speaking, and similar skills. The donors have further stipulated that these funds should be spent within five years.
Mrs. Agarwal is a Friends member.
We know that these are hard times for library budgets, he said in a prepared statement. And we know that many people depend of their library for books, movies, music, and computer access. Our gift is intended to allow the Library to continue to provide everyone with they have come to expect.
In accepting the donation, Friends President Maureen Kravec noted the boost this donation will give to the Friends.
The Agarwals have once again shown their genuine concern for this community and the health of its institutions, she said. The library is depending upon the Friends more than ever to help make ends meet. The gift will accomplish a great deal of good.
This generous donation is important, especially in light of recent budget cuts such as the Countys total elimination of public library funding, said Library Director Wayne L. Miller. But it is no more important than the participation in volunteer activities shown by the Agarwals. This is a great example of the kind of community spirit and support that created and continues to sustain the library. I share the Ravinder and Barbaras desire for their gift to spur others to consider how they can support the Friends of Ogdensburg Public Library.

Re-thinking the Orioles' organization's outfield situation, I came up with a different scenario.
Orioles: Nate McLouth LF, Adam Jones CF, Nick Markakis RF, Nolan Reimold OF
Tides: LJ Hoes LF, Xavier Avery CF, Chris Dickerson RF, Steve Pearce OF
Baysox: Lew Ford LF, Trent Mummey CF, Ronnie Welty RF, Trayvon Robinson OF
I think that is realistic. I keep getting how the minor league positions will look like and how I want them to look like mixed up. All the OF's are getting regular at-bats. Steve Pearce could be a quality player at the major league level. He could be a back-up 4th outfielder and first baseman. He has hit LHP pretty well during his career, and I was even suggesting platooning him with Nate McLouth for awhile in left field. But, it is a little illogical to have Nolan Reimold and Steve Pearce on the same roster, given they are both RHH outfielders. Roberts and Reimold are kind of messing up other player's chances. I wouldn't be shocked if both of them get hurt, but you almost have to give them a chance. I definitely see Pearce serving in Reimold's role later this year.

CANTON State police and the St. Lawrence County coroner said Friday that the death of a Hammond man Feb. 5 was due to natural causes and not a bar fight, as some relatives and friends had alleged.
Investigation and an autopsy concluded that Duane D. Watkins, 53, died of natural causes, state police Senior Investigator Joseph A. Tatro said.
That investigation was prompted by calls from people who told troopers that Mr. Watkins had been injured in an altercation, he said.
Investigation revealed that Mr. Watkins fell down outside the Turn-er Inn, Edwardsville, after drinking on Feb. 1, apparently causing a minor head injury, Mr. Tatro said. State police spoke to witnesses and found no evidence of a fight, he said.Mr. Watkins died Feb. 5 at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg. Mr. Tatro and St. Lawrence County Coroner James M. Sienkiewycz said Mr. Watkinss death was related to an unspecified medical condition, as revealed by an autopsy performed last week.
Mr. Watkins died of natural causes, Mr. Sienkiewycz said, although he declined to say what condition caused his death. Toxicology reports are pending, he said.

Home Run Leaders in the 2nd half
"It's a cool milestone, I guess," Davis told reporters last night, after hitting his 30th home run of the season. "It's something you can always tell your kids – you hit 30 homers in the big leagues, you were one of the hit leaders. But, obviously, if I would have hit 29 this year I still would have been happy with the power numbers, for sure."

The 100 acre site is located about one mile west of Rose Center. The site is an upland area almost completely surrounded by wetlands. Rose Center has about 5,000 residents, all of whom depend upon groundwater as a drinking water source. An extimated 5,000 drums of illegal waste were place on, and into, 12 acres of the southwest part of the site. These drums mainly held paints, solvents, and polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs). Another portion of the site was contaminated by lead battery sludges. Surface soils located along the southwestern edge of the site were contaminated with PCBs, lead, and volatile compounds (VOCs).

A Rant & A Rave About Rush
by Kane-O!
posted Oct 24 2011 4:42PM
Well, I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise that those in charge of nominations have once again passed by our favorite, awesome, über-cool, hard-rockin', Canadian trio for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I can see (?) why Erik B. & Rakim made it on over Geddy, Alex, and Neil. Ugh. Please! As if it weren't bad enough that freakin' ABBA was voted in ahead of RUSH! Hell, even Rolling Stone Magazine didn't give props to the band until 2 years ago!
Whattaya expect from the people who haven't yet inducted Lynyrd Skynyrd or Black Sabbath?
Doesn't matter. For those of us who have always "known," RUSH doesn't need the formality of being nominated for the HOF 'cause they are in a class by themselves. Still making compelling, energetic, and creative music and bringing it to the people. And if you can't make it to see 'em, or if they didn't come to your town recently, you can always turn to the impeccable "Live" DVDs that have been made available in the past few years. In keeping with this tradition, look for the new, live set from RUSH coming November 7th called, "Time Machine 2011-Live In Cleveland." Kind of ironic that this set is from Cleveland and that's where the Rock hall is located...Further proof (not that you need it!) That this band remains a veritable
Additionally, RUSH will also be releasing a vinyl only version of the complete concert performance of "Moving Pictures." Sweet! But wait...there's more!
Coming on November 21st will be "SECTORS"--3 Box sets that cover all of the RUSH albums on the Mercury label released between 1974-1988. Each box will contain 6 discs, including a special, high-resolution 5.1 Surround-Sound mix of 1 of the enclosed albums. Lotsa cool, previously unreleased photos and interesting thingees are included. You can check out more at rush.com.

The Pirates are asking the Cumberland County Superior Court to force the Civic Center to live up to an agreement on concessions and advertising revenue it claims was reached back in April.
A lawyer for the Portland Pirates says the minor league hockey team has filed a civil suit against its landlord, the Cumberland County Civic Center, in a dispute over a five-year lease agreement.
The Pirates are asking the Cumberland County Superior Court to force the Civic Center to live up to an agreement it claims was reached back in April.
Attorney Harold Friedman says the PIrates had what is, in effect, a legal agreement with Civic Center Board of Trustees that covered the terms of the lease, including how concession and advertising revenue would be shared. But Friedman says the Civic Center backed out.
"They have an average of over 4,000 people attending the games, 4,000 people coming to the Civic Center, 4,000 people who are going to buy gas, go to restaurants, go to bars, shop, who are going to energize the city," Friedman says.
The suit, filed in Cumberland County Superior Court, also seeks a preliminary injunction to stop the Civic Center from giving away the team's game dates for next season.
The Civic Center did not have an immediate comment.

A pretty nice set up phone slides in and out pretty easily but also can be locked in when you need it to be. I do a lot of off reading and phone stays pretty steady in the holder. "Insttall" I guess you would say, was easy (not much installing to do) over all I really like would definitely recommend to someone who drives long distances

FORT DRUM There is a 50-50 shot we have a shutdown of the federal government Oct. 1 because of a budget impasse, U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, estimated Monday.
As lawmakers debate a spending plan for the new fiscal year, one sticking point is Republican demands to defund the Affordable Care Act.
The House of Representatives approved a budget bill that includes a provision defunding the health-care overhaul. The Democratic-majority Senate has not yet approved its own budget bill but is not expected to go along with the Republican bill, which President Barack Obama has threatened to veto.
Its really unclear where we are this week, Mr. Owens said.
He said he was preparing to return to Washington on Wednesday, and that the key part of how the week will go is what the Senate agrees to in its budget bill.
Ultimately, I think well reach some kind of accord. Its just not clear to me, to answer your question, as to exactly what impact it will have because I dont know the number that were going to fund the government at, he said. Once we see that, I think well have a much better idea.
The budget issues came up as Mr. Owens spoke to assembled media on post Monday at a ceremony marking the deployment of the 10th Mountain Divisions 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
Mr. Owens said he expects to be in Washington over the weekend, and that there would be a more complete bill to vote on by Saturday or Sunday.
In addition to attending the ceremony, Mr. Owens on Monday visited the ReEnergy power plant on post, as it waits for a decision from the military about whether it will be picked to supply the installation with biomass power. He also visited the Madison Barracks Shared Use Kitchen in Sackets Harbor.
Video of Mr. Owenss comments can be found at http://wdt.me/8TBKSR.
