Wilder: The Early Years
Program InformationProgram: Wilder: An American First
Segment Number: 2 (Watch entire program)
Duration: 00:05:30
Year Produced: 2005
The inauguration of Doug Wilder in the former capitol of the confederacy made him one of the world's most powerful black politicians. His name now took its place in history next to Virginians, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe—but Virginia was also where slavery was introduced to the English colonies - an act that would shape perceptions of the state's culture for centuries.
When the nation's first elected African-American governor took the oath of office in 1990, American history came full circle. The newly elected governor was L. Douglas Wilder, a grandson of slaves. The state that elected him was Virginia, former home to the capital of the Confederacy. The thrill of this irony swept across the country as proof to all Americans that indeed, we shall overcome.For more information visit: http://www.ideastations.org/wilder/index.html
The inauguration of Doug Wilder in the former capitol of the confederacy made him one of the world's most powerful black politicians. His name now took its place in history next to Virginians, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe—
but Virginia was also where slavery was introduced to the English colonies – an act that would shape perceptions of the state's culture for centuries.
On a farm in Henrico County north of Richmond, James W. Wilder married Agnes Johnson on April 25th, 1856. There was little celebration to mark the happy occasion. James and Agnes were slaves.
This is the kind of thing, you wonder how anybody ever overcomes this, they were sold separately, and parted for several years. And then after the emancipation, they were reunited and managed with the absence of any education at all to raise thirteen children, buy a house. So that when Doug's father Robert who was one of the thirteen children got married they moved into the house at Churchill.
On January 17th 1931, Robert and his wife Beulah welcomed their 9th of 10 children, a boy, whom they named Lawrence Douglas after activist Frederick Douglas and poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Little did they know the child would come to possess the spirit, fight, and eloquence of his namesakes. Though his family was poor, there were always flowers in the vases and music filled the Wilder house.
We had a lot of fun. Friday nights was always a free night. We always played games together. We knew all of the games. In fact, that's what I told everybody. Douglas played them and Douglas was going to win. You weren't going to play with Douglas unless he, he was going to be in control of the game. In fact, my youngest, two youngest sisters used to say they weren't going to play with him ever again hahaha.
Well, he had a normal childhood. His mother did stress education, however. They did a lot of things together, and he learned an awful lot. She made him do the crossword puzzle, and he enjoyed doing crossword puzzles.
Well, I think one of the things that was apparent early on, that this was a multi-talented individual. It seemed that everything he did, he did well.
As Young Douglas Wilder moved with ease through his Churchill neighborhood he would learn that all of Richmond was not as accessible to him. While riding on segregated streetcars or on a shopping trip downtown with his mother, Douglas was angered by the limitations put on him by the color of his skin.
It bothered me more when we would go up to buy clothes and uh you'd have to guess at size because you couldn't try the clothes on. And you couldn't try the suit on and you couldn't try the pants on so being a growing boy your mother is going to always to buy clothes bigger then you want to wear any way I said these don't fit "I understand" "why can't we try them on" "No we can't try them on' I just never could understand it, as a matter of fact I never have understood it.
After graduating from high school in 1947, Wilder wanted to join the Navy but was underage and his mother refused to sign for him. Instead, he entered Virginia Union University in Richmond with plans to major in chemistry. Wilder paid his way by working in a dining room at the segregated John Marshall Hotel.
He graduated from college at Virginia Union in January of 1952, and by then the Korean war was full-throttle. And, Doug thought about enlisting, but before he could get around to making up his mind he was drafted, And, this was an Army that had been integrated, so blacks were serving side by side with whites for, for the first time, really.
I was very disappointed in Korea believing that I'm there fighting for some rights that I don't have at home but I've got to fight for rights for South Korea that doesn't make any sense and then just after I got back Brown vs. Board of education came out and I said "God you mean it might work, the system just might work"

Hey guys Just a 16 year old newbie to DA lol~
I really like to do a lot of stuff in my free time. I love drawing, playing the piano, dancing, singing, changing up my hairstyle, photography, and most recently, cosplaying ^.^ I love learning about different cultures and languages. I can speak Cebuano(Filipino dialect), I can understand Tagalog, English, and speak and read a little Japanese(I just started taking it in HS), and I can read Korean.
I'm still new to DA, so I don't know a lot of the stuff going on and how to get around and what to do, so I hope you guys can help me out. But I hope I can make a lot of friends with you guys through all the art we create. <3

I am against off-body carry, and strongly recommend that she does not use that method unless she absolutely has to. Purses are common targets for thieves, not to mention they may not always be close by when something might happen.
I do know of one lady who does purse carry, and she walks with it slung over her weak arm\'s shoulder with her gun hand in the opening. The way she has it positioned makes it looks like she\'s \"extra protective\" about her purse and it does not appear her hand is in the purse and on her gun.
I do have a generic brand carry purse with a velcro closure, which in my opinion, is better than a zipper that may snag or break. I haven\'t used it in a long time, but I admit that hidden pocket is nifty for storing extra mags.
If I\'m in an evening dress, I carry my Mustang in my small evening bag. There are thigh rigs available, which holster the gun on the inside of the thigh. That might be handy for a shorter evening dress (where she\'s not having to pull up a long dress), but I\'ve never used one before.
Anyone who carries a gun learns how and what to wear, and many times they have to compensate. What is worth more - looking fashionable or staying armed? I\'m petite with a small waist, but wearing a bellyband holster and having a shirt that covers at least 6\" past my waist can conceal a USPc. You also learn how to reach over by crouching with the knees instead of bending at the waist, so the shirt does not ride up and reveal the gun.
Several manufacturers make carry purses, including:
Coronado Leather
Google \"gun purse\" for more vendors.
* And she should probably pick out her own.

College Hockey:Granato to be One of First Two Women in Hall of Fame
Former Providence Star Helped Put Women's Hockey on the Map
TORONTO — Cammi Granato, three-time ECAC Player of the Year, two-time Olympian and 15-year member of the U.S. Women's National Team, was today announced as one of the first two female members in the 65-year history of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Granato will be formally inducted into the Hall on Nov. 8 as part of the Class of 2010 that also includes Dino Ciccarelli and Angela James in the player category, as well as Jimmy Devellano and Daryl "Doc" Seaman in the builder category.
A trailblazer from her early days, Granato began playing organized hockey in kindergarten at a time when women's ice hockey didn't exist. She played with boys through high school, going on to become one of the most talented female athletes in the world and using her fame and success to carry the sport to new levels.
"Cammi's extraordinary accomplishments have played an integral role in the growth and popularity of women's hockey not only in the United States, but all over the world," said Dave Ogrean, executive director for USA Hockey. "Her contributions to the sport are immeasurable and she is more than deserving of this extremely prestigious honor."
Prior to becoming a star on the world stage, Granato earned a scholarship at Providence College, where she completed a legendary four-year playing career. Beyond establishing many scoring records for the Friars (139 goals in 99 games), Granato captured ECAC Player of the Year honors in three consecutive years from 1991-93, while leading the team to back-to-back conference titles in 1992 and 1993.
Granato will become just the ninth American-born player in the Hockey Hall of Fame and the first from Illinois, adding to the 244 players and 337 total enshrinees currently in the Hall.
A member of the U.S. Womens National Team from 1990-2005, Granato is the programs all-time scoring leader with 343 points (186-157) in 205 games. She was one of the teams initial members and served as the captain of the squad throughout countless international games and tournaments. Upon her retirement in 2005, Granato was the world's all-time leading scorer in International Ice Hockey Federation competition with 96 points (54-42) in 54 games. Today, she still holds the world record with 54 goals in international play.
The Downers Grove, Ill., native achieved international fame by captaining Team USA to the gold medal at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, the first time womens ice hockey was included in the Games.
After those Olympics, there was an explosion of female hockey programs in the United States and Granato was launched into the spotlight, making her one of the most recognizable female athletes in the world. Her picture on the Wheaties box, her first book, broadcasting for the National Hockey League and the annual Cammi Granato Gold Medal Hockey Clinic for Girls all followed.
From 1998 through 2002, Granato continued to lead Team USA, becoming one of the most potent goal scorers of all time. At the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Granato captured her second Olympic medal, this time a silver.
In her last international competition and ninth World Championship in 2005, Granato led Team USA to the gold medal, its first-ever in an IIHF World Womens Championship.

You might not be ready to recognize it but maybe you often feel like you're a step behind when in a relationship. Whether it be defining your relationship or understanding what your partner is thinking, you feel the nagging notion of uncertainty. You just can't determine where you and your lover stand with each other. If you are in this type of situation, avoid making the common mistake of trying too hard to make it work. Relationships might require some work but here's how to recognize if you are the only one putting in all the effort:
You always make yourself available. How often do you find yourself checking your phone? Maybe you're always plugged in but if you keep scanning for new notifications, missed texts or calls from that particular person, you are simply ensuring you're available at all times to answer back. If you continually keep your schedule open or are ready to blow off prior commitments because an opportunity arises to hang out with that special someone, it's time to reevaluate the message your actions are sending. Putting a potential relationship in the forefront before even yourself can signal that you're willing to put up with anything from this other person, even if it's not always to your benefit.
You feign interest and agreeance with your date. Let's say you hate sports…and he's all about them. While going to games can make for an ideal date, you are overdoing it by buying a jersey of some team you couldn't care even a little about and pretending like you are as invested in the game as is your date. If you don't like Justin Timberlake (ummm…what's wrong with you?), don't pretend to appreciate his music as much as your partner does every time she plays it. Keeping someone's attention does not require catering to his or her interests. Stop worrying so much about chasing a suitor off because you don't have everything in common. True commonalities will be found as the relationship progresses and differences can be surprisingly intriguing. Don't be afraid to speak your mind but do remember to listen well to your partner.
You ignore or excuse the obvious signs. If something feels amiss in the connection, you are either reading too much into things or you simply make exceptions for erratic behavior. If one minute, your lover is hot, and then the next he or she is cold towards you, chances are you fall low on the priority list. If someone isn't calling or texting, they might not be ready for a real relationship—or at least one with you. Either way, you have to decide how much you wish to invest in a seemingly one-sided relationship. When it comes to a confusing connection, focus on yourself to determine what you need from a lover and then make your move.

A settlement agreement has been reached between the City of San Luis Obispo and CBS Outdoor LLC over the elimination of several billboards. One of the billboards to be removed is a large two-paneled sign and is located at 1960 Santa Barbara Avenue adjacent to Railroad Square and the Railroad Museum.

The future removal of a fourth billboard along the Calle Joaquin Agricultural Open Space Reserve west of the 101 Freeway was also agreed to. This billboard will be removed in 2024 per a clarified lease agreement.
Terms of the agreement require work for the three billboards scheduled for immediate removal to be completed by CBS Outdoor within 60 days from agreement execution which occurred on May 21, 2014.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- One Warren County employer has it's work cut out for it starting early Tuesday.
"We will be here in the office at five in the morning. I would say we'll probably leave nine-ish, or ten o'clock tomorrow night. It's going to be a very long day. Probably a very busy day," laughed Chief Deputy County Clerk of Warren County, Sheila Dismon.
Phone calls are flooding into the Warren County Clerk's Office the day before the primary elections. Those wanting their voices heard are double checking some big changes being made.
Due to the redistricting there's almost double the precincts in Warren County this year, compared to year's past. Meaning, voters can have their voices heard closer to home.
"We've gone from 64 polling places to 121," added Dismon.
"There was a time we waited almost an hour. It will be a lot more pleasant to have shorter lines," said voter Therese Ryan.
Though tomorrow will only decide primary elections, voters feel it's still important to get out and cast your ballot.
"It doesn't matter really who everybody votes for. You really need to make your voice heard," commented voter Bob Boyden.
Despite that feeling of importance the Warren County Clerk's Office expects the turnout to only be a fraction of registered voters.
"Primaries are not usually as big as the general (election). But, we are expecting somewhere around a 25%," said Dismon.
The percentage may not be huge, but the power of the votes could be.

Dec. 14, 2006
The Washington men's basketball team is off to a 7-1 start and ranked 17th in the Associated Press poll. The Huskies play their final three non-conference home games during the next week, hosting Portland State on Saturday (Dec. 16), 12th-ranked LSU on Dec. 20 and Weber State on Dec. 22.
Forward Hans Gasser is one of only two seniors on the team, joining guard Brandon Burmeister. Hans spent a few minutes this week talking with GoHuskies.com
GoHuskies.com: What is the scoop on your recent dental operations?
Hans Gasser: "It was a pain! It started when Spencer hit me, I lost half a tooth and it got stuck in the roof of my mouth. I guess it got infected, so they had to do a root canal right before Southern Utah. That didn't work because it was way up under my nose, so they had to put a valve in."
GoHuskies: Was it painful to play through?
HG: "They said I couldn't be on pain-killing drugs for the game, but afterwards they gave me my fair share of drugs. I had eight shots of novacaine, pain killers, and laughing gas, but even that didn't help too much."
GoHuskies: How much dental work remains?
HG: "I put a wire on it, and I have four more trips to the dentist for about two hours each."
GoHuskies: Are you going to be able to make it home for Christmas?
HG: "Yeah, my parents actually moved from Issaquah to next to Sea-Tac airport on the water."
GoHuskies: How different is the team this year?
HG: "It is definitely different after having all of these NBA guys in here, now it is a bunch of young guys with a ton of talent. Me and Burm (Brandon Burmeister) are the old men on the team, so it is quite a different situation."
GoHuskies: What are your plans after graduation?
HG: "I don't have a clue, I'm just going to play it by ear."
GoHuskies: Do you find yourselves looking ahead to next week's LSU game?
HG: "Not really, after our last game we just kind of need to get out there and get that taste out of our mouth and get the victory first and focus on the big game after that. We're focusing on Portland State."
GoHuskies: At this point in the season, how does this team compare to teams of the past?
HG: "Offensively, we have just as much talent as any team. We can score all over the place. We have good inside scoring and I think the whole thing is coming along great offensively. Defensively, it is a learning process still, since we are so young. In years of the past, we would come in and already know the defense. We would know where to be, and when to be there. This year, it is still a big learning process; we have a lot of guys who still look confused. It will come around pretty shortly I think."
GoHuskies: What game do you look forward to year in and year out?
HG: "Every game in the Pac-10 you look forward to. Especially this year, when we have four teams ranked in the top 25, it is a great league. Every game we are going to have to bring it this year. But, UCLA was in the national championship and are ranked number one, I always look forward to games like that."
GoHuskies: How excited are you to get Bank of America Arena rocking again?
HG: "It will be good to have a big crowd and have it really noisy in here. We have had some games against smaller schools that weren't as exciting. It will be nice to pack it in here."
GoHuskies.com: If you had one piece of advice for you freshmen teammates, what would it be?
HG: "That is a tough one. Just stick in there, it will come around."

"Nov. 29, 2011 -- The cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor -- the best-selling prescription drug in world history -- will be available as a generic drug beginning Nov. 30.
Lipitor's generic name is atorvastatin. Two generic drugmakers, Ra"...
There is no specific treatment in the event of overdose. In the event of overdose, the patient should be treated symptomatically and supportive measures instituted as required. Hemodialysis does not significantly enhance clearance of rosuvastatin.
CRESTOR is contraindicated in the following conditions:
- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of this product. Hypersensitivity reactions including rash, pruritus, urticaria, and angioedema have been reported with CRESTOR [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
- Patients with active liver disease, which may include unexplained persistent elevations of hepatic transaminase levels [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Because HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors decrease cholesterol synthesis and possibly the synthesis of other biologically active substances derived from cholesterol, CRESTOR may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Additionally, there is no apparent benefit to therapy during pregnancy, and safety in pregnant women has not been established. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus and the lack of known clinical benefit with continued use during pregnancy [see Use In Specific Populations and Nonclinical Toxicology].
- Nursing mothers. Because another drug in this class passes into breast milk, and because HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors have the potential to cause serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, women who require CRESTOR treatment should be advised not to nurse their infants [see Use in Specific Populations].

Georgia Tech Hosts In-State Rival Georgia
Yellow Jackets (3-3) vs. Lady Bulldogs (8-0), 2 p.m., CSS/WREK 91.1 FM
Dec. 1, 2012
Georgia Tech (3-3) will return home to McCamish Pavilion for the first time since Nov. 18 when the Yellow Jackets host the No. 8/9 Georgia Lady Bulldogs (8-0) at 2 p.m. Sunday. This will be the 35th meeting all-time between the Jackets and the Lady Bulldogs.
The last time Georgia came to Atlanta, then-freshman Tyaunna Marshall scored 20 points to lead Tech to a 69-53 win over No. 21/22 Georgia. It was the largest margin of victory for Tech in the two rivals' series.
In the Jackets last outing, Marshall again powered Tech, scoring 26 points but the Jackets came up just short, suffering an 85-73 defeat at No. 14/13 Purdue in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Junior Dawnn Maye added 16 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Jackets. Senior Jasmine Blain continued her impressive play with 10 points and eight rebounds.
The matchup with the Lady Bulldogs is the second of a tough three-game stretch that started with Purdue for Georgia Tech. The three opponents - Purdue, Georgia and Duke - have a combined record of 19-1 and all ranked in the top 15.
Georgia comes into Sunday's game with an 8-0 record and coming off an 83-47 win over Furman on Nov. 28.
The Jackets turned a one point lead into an 11 point lead midway through the second half by holding UGA to a 1-of-5 shooting streak and forcing four turnovers.
Tech's 16-point win was the largest by the Jackets in the series.
HOME SWEET HOME Georgia Tech owns a 107-31 home record under head coach MaChelle Joseph and has won at least 10 home games in each of the last eight years.
Overall, the Yellow Jackets are 288-179 at home.
Joseph currently has 182 wins, needing just 18 more to eclipse the mark. Her predecessor, Agnus Beranato, is the only women's basketball coach at Tech to finish with at least 200 wins. Berenato finished her 15-year tenure leading the Yellow Jackets with a 223-209 record.

Code based cryptography like McEliece cryptosystem, is based on the hard problem of decoding linear codes. But i think it lies to the group of quantum based crypto since as far as we know it is still immune to quantum attacks

Nintendo has recently discontinued spot pass for Swapnote due to inappropiate content being sent to minors. This is not the correct solution, there are parental controls that can be used to limit children's online interaction, promoting and adding functionality to these parental controls could prevent the problem from occuring.
Another solution would be to create a 'best friends' list, the user could add people to this list and chose to only recieve Swapnotes from people on this list, this adds an extra layer of security as the user has to allow Swapnotes from this person and stops Swapnotes from random people.
I, along with many other Nintendo DS users are outraged at Nintendo's decision to remove the spot pass feature and we ask Nintendo to revoke their decision, re-enable spot pass and search for other solutions.
Why should the whole Nintendo community be punished for others wrongdoing or misuse of the application?
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

Treasury Mainstreams Dramatic Plights
Published plays -- especially those in anthologies -- tend to be dismissed by the casual browser as specialty items, of interest only to students of theater history or to actors in search of audition material. Ellen Schiff and Michael Posnick clearly had something else in mind when they compiled their lively new collection, "Nine Contemporary Jewish Plays." Mainstream readers are encouraged to visit the drama bookshelf to locate this intelligent, probing collection filled with vivid examples of how dramatic literature can humanize moral and social dilemmas by embodying them in the personal irritations and intimacies of daily life.
Schiff and Posnick have chosen well, covering territory as diverse as the Argentine white slave trade, the plight of the Refuseniks in the Soviet Union, and the longstanding friendship between Marc Chagall and Yiddish theater legend Solomon Mikhoels. While all the pieces are well-crafted and insightful, some are so heavily dependent on choreography and stage effects that they fall a bit flat on the page. Other entries read like short stories, as absorbing in book form as they likely are in performance. Without critiquing all nine of the pieces, suffice to say that the more verbal and less visually driven pieces tend to be the most readable.
Not surprisingly, two of the standouts are by Jeffrey Sweet and Donald Margulies, who are familiar to American audiences from their Broadway and off-Broadway successes. Sweet's "The Action Against Sol Schumann" examines one of the perpetually nagging questions of the Holocaust and its aftermath.
The time is 1985, and outspoken Aaron Schumann flies to Bitburg, Germany, to protest Ronald Reagan's visit to a cemetery full of German soldiers. As the son of a Holocaust survivor, Aaron cannot countenance the president's portrayal of Germans as victims. Aaron's moral absolutes are tested, however, when another survivor identifies his father, Sol, as a former kapo. Desperate to put together a defense, Aaron and his brother, Michael, search far and wide. If they can find an eyewitness, they may be able to substantiate their claim that their papa had little choice and even used his position to help other Jews. Finally the two brothers locate an elderly survivor who remembers Sol, but not in the way they'd hoped. Sweet's dialogue brilliantly mingles the universal and the painfully personal, and the plot moves along with the brisk pace of a good mystery. Unfortunately, the ending feels far too convenient: Aaron, an inner-city schoolteacher, is killed when he tries to break up a knife fight. Thus Sweet lets his protagonist, and the audience, off the hook too easily. A more fitting resolution would have shown Aaron struggling to maintain his sanity as he reconciles the cherished memory of a loving father with the terrifying image of a willing collaborator in his own people's destruction.
A different kind of conundrum animates Margulies's "God of Vengeance." Although the play is adapted from a work by Sholem Asch, Margulies's clash of dialects vibrates with the influences of Elmer Rice and Clifford Odets. In the tenements of New York City' s Lower East Side, the 1920s roar with a decidedly Yiddish inflection. Jack Chapman, aka Yankel Tshaptshovitsh, runs a prosperous bordello. One flight up, he tries to maintain a kosher home and to keep his beloved daughter, Rivkele, pure and innocent. When he buys a Torah scroll for Rivkele's dowry, he finds himself confronting a God whose dictates he has ignored all these years. Alternately frightening and hilarious, his ferocious outbursts are balanced by lyrical scenes of same-sex intimacy. At 17, Rivkele can no longer be tied down. Defying her father's admonitions, she sneaks downstairs to the brothel. Here, Manke, a prostitute suffering from a different kind of loneliness, offers Rivkele the full embrace she cannot find anywhere else.
Lesser known but equally talented, Marilyn Clayton Felt brings a Shavian intensity to her penetrating study of the Middle East peace struggle. Inspired by true events, "Asher's Command" concerns a friendship between Arab car mechanic Samir and young Israeli draftee Asher. When Asher's car breaks down in the territories, Samir is happy to help and shows no animosity toward the young soldier. The problem turns out to be a potato jammed into the tailpipe; hardly an act of ruthless terrorism, but certainly an omen of what's to come. The friendship continues through the years, but is put to the test in the 1980s when Asher becomes commander of occupation forces. Although he truly believes he can make a difference from within, he receives little support from either side. Arabs suspect trickery behind the peaceful overtures, and Jewish hardliners see him as a traitor to his nation. Tensions erupt when a group of Israeli youths enjoy an outing in Nablus in defiance of regulations. Stones are thrown, shots are fired and Samir's auto shop becomes an unintended battleground. As Asher is called on to enforce the law, he ends up on the opposite side of his longtime friend. Although a melodramatic subplot proves somewhat distracting, Felt's well-crafted allegory provides a mature and unflinching portrayal of Israel's continuing internal and external conflicts.
As for the more experimental pieces, the most affecting is Corey Fischer's "See Under: Love," a play within a play within a play adapted from a Hebrew novel by David Grossman. In America, young Neuman neglects his wife and son while speaking to the ghost of his grandfather, Herr Wasserman. Once a popular Polish author, Wasserman is now interned in a concentration camp. Here he's commanded to be S.S. officer Kurt Neigel's personal Sheherazade. Each night he invents a new chapter of a surreal adventure story, which Neigel transcribes into letters to his wife. The Nazi is having trouble at home, as Frau Neigel no longer wishes to be touched by hands that stink of death. As the story deepens, Neigel's conscience slowly awakens. When he truly encounters the horror of his actions he can no longer function, and takes his own life. Fischer skates on thin ice here, dangerously close to a relativistic worldview in which we're all victims. But by the end of "See Under: Love," Neigel's crisis becomes less a moral acquittal than an existential song of lament. Evil, Fischer seems to say, consumes everything in its path, including what little claim to humanity its perpetrators may hope to make.
Unfortunately, only one of the nine plays -- Jennifer Maisel's touching "The Last Seder" -- can really be called "contemporary." Re-examining the past is a worthy task for any dramatist, but the inclusion of a few works that take place in today's world ("Brooklyn Boy," "Modern Orthodox," "Jewtopia") would have made this collection feel less like a history book and more like the up-to-date dispatch its name suggests.

College Hockey:Franklin Pierce College to Add Varsity Men's Hockey
RINDGE, N.H. — The Franklin Pierce College men's ice hockey team will upgrade to NCAA Division II status and has accepted an invitation to participate in the ECAC Northeast Division beginning in the 2002-03 academic year after nearly 30 years of competition as a club program. The announcement was made today by Bruce Kirsh, Director of Athletics at the College.
"The College looks forward to making the commitment to fielding an NCAA ice hockey program," said Kirsh. "We [are] excited about competing in the ECAC-Northeast and recognize the challenge ahead of us."
The Ravens will become the 19th member of the ECAC's Northeast Division, competing with the likes of Assumption, Fitchburg State, Plymouth State, Saint Michael's, Southern New Hampshire and Stonehill. The ECAC also sponsors a Division II Championship that includes Saint Anselm.
The Franklin Pierce ice hockey team is nearly 30 years old, competing as a club program. The Ravens are currently a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) and compete in the Northeast Collegiate Hockey Association (NECHA) with schools such as MIT, Bates, Bridgewater State and Springfield.
The Ravens captured the NECHA Championship in 1994-95 and 1995-96. The team was invited to the ACHA National Championships following the 1994-95 season.
Head Coach Jay McCormack, a 1986 graduate of the College and former hockey player, has been the driving force behind the program's move and cites this as a personal goal throughout his 12-year reign as head coach.
"While the process didn't begin in earnest until approximately 18 to 24 months ago, this was always a goal of mine for the program," said McCormack. "It is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the athletic department and the College administration."
McCormack has posted a 128-82-11 (.604) career record at the College.
"By attaching the NCAA label to our program, it gives us an added edge in recruiting and will help us bring better student-athletes to our campus," added McCormack. "The ECAC Northeast is just a perfect fit for us from a competitive and geographical standpoint. So many of the teams are within a short drive of our campus."
McCormack also notes that three other ECAC Northeast programs (Wentworth, Johnson and Wales and Salve Regina) have their roots in the NECHA.
With Franklin Pierce upgrading its program to NCAA status, there are also talks of the Northeast-10 Conference investigating adding the sport as a future Conference Championship. With Franklin Pierce at varsity status, there will be six NE-10 institutions sponsoring men's ice hockey, thus making the sport eligible as a future NE-10 Championship sport.
"In keeping with one of the main aspects of the Division II Philosophy Statement, The Northeast-10 Conference is continually evaluating the expansion of the championships conducted," said David Brunk, Commissioner of the Northeast-10. "With Franklin Pierce committed to varsity ice hockey effective in 2002, this will guarantee the required number of participant teams necessary for recognition in NCAA formulas and provide the opportunity of championship competition for those student-athletes.
"This, as with the addition of any conference sport, will be subject to a recommendation from the Directors Council and formal approval by the Northeast-10 Council of Presidents at their June, 2002, meeting."
The Ravens begin their final club season on Wednesday, Oct. 17, when they host the Dartmouth club team at 7:30 p.m.

Microsoft to unveil Zunephone at 2009 CES?
Microsoft has been mum so far about any more plans for an upcoming Zunephone, but recent reports say otherwise. Somehow combining their Zune music player with Danger Sidekick handhelds, Microsoft is said to be prepping up its official announcement of a new device for CES 2009 in Las Vegas.
Sure, it might seem like a bad time to announce and release such a thing, especially with Windows Mobile currently struggling to gain and even keep its market share. But Microsoft sure seems capable of producing a Zunephone.
Also, they've got MobiComp, a Portuguese mobile phone software company they bought a few months ago to back them up.
Trip Chowdhry, of Global Equities Research, is the latest one to revive the old myth of the Zunephone, saying that Microsoft is in great shape to "unveil a new device combining the features of the company's Zune music player and its Danger Sidekick handhelds, combined with what he describes as "some motion enhancement features" using an accelerometer, like the Apple iPhone."
Well, CES 2009 is only a few weeks away. And while I'm sure many other new phone models are going to be announced there during keynotes, this rumored announcement of the Microsoft Zunephone is definitely the one many are going to be waiting for.

April will begin with the Bay Area recital debut of bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni. His recital will be the third program in the Vocal Series of the 2013–14 season of San Francisco Performances (SFP). His accompanist will be pianist Wolfram Rieger, familiar to many SFP audiences as accompanist for baritone Thomas Hampson. By my count, this will be Rieger's fifth SFP appearance.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the program Pisaroni has prepared is the attention he will devote to Johann Friedrich Reichardt. Like Ludwig van Beethoven, Reichardt was a composer whose works spanned the transition from the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries. However, his background was far more diverse. He studied under Immanuel Kant at Königsberg University; and his subsequent pursuits involved government service, politics, and literature, as well as music. He was a friend of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and his settings of Goethe's texts account for a generous portion of the approximately 1500 songs he composed. Indeed, it would appear that the Goethe poems he selected may well have influenced the selections made by Franz Schubert, even if Reichardt's musical achievements had little (if any) influence. The eight Reichardt songs that Pisaroni has programmed are all settings of sonnets by Petrarch.
This period of transition will also be represented by four Beethoven songs. The earliest of these, "La partenza" was composed in 1795 and not published during Beethoven's lifetime. The remaining three songs Pisaroni has selected are from the first decade of the nineteenth century, and two were included in Beethoven's Opus 82 publication. Advancing further into that century, the remainder of the program will be devoted to eleven songs by Franz Liszt and the five songs in Johannes Brahms' Opus 72.
This recital will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Nourse Theatre (275 Hayes Street, between Van Ness Avenue and Franklin Street and across the street from Davies Symphony Hall) on Tuesday, April 1. Ticket prices are $65, $55, and $38. Tickets may be purchased through the event page on the SFP Web site. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 415-398-6449.

Your Government
Members of the St. Augustine City Commission will lead a ceremony to officially mark the commencement of the Aviles Street Rehabilitation Project on Friday, July 30 at 9:00am. The public is invited to attend the brief ceremony on Aviles Street between King St. and Artillery Lane.
The project, encompassing the northern most block of the street, that portion lying between King Street and Artillery Lane, is expected to be completed by October 1 at a cost of approximately $200,000. When completed the new streetscape will have areas allowing for on-street dining along with new underground utilities, new brick streets, sidewalk widening, benches, landscaping and new street lights.
A key component of the project coming to fruition was the partnership between the City of St. Augustine and Trinity Episcopal Parish, a primary property owner along Aviles Street. Since the project necessitated the removal of the few parking places on the street, Trinity agreed to allow its private parking lot located just a block away at St. George Street and Artillery Lane, to become a public parking area. A revenue sharing plan between the church and the city will supplement the funds required to make the rehabilitation of Aviles Street possible.
Work on the project, designed by the Halback Design Group, will be conducted by Gibbs & Register. During construction, the northern most block of Aviles Street will be closed to vehicular traffic however, businesses will remain open and pedestrian access to the area will be maintained.
After the ceremony and continuing until late Friday evening, Aviles Street businesses will host the Fiesta de Aviles featuring a wide array of activities which, according to organizers will include:
For more information about the Fiesta de Aviles, call 904.819.9990.
For information regarding the opening ceremony, call the Public Affairs Department at 904.825.1053.
For information regarding the Aviles St. Rehabilitation Project, call the Public Works Department at 904.825.1040.

This summer brings a wide variety of programming to screens all across the country, even marking the return of one of foreign cinemas most important voices. With "I'm So Excited", writer/director Pedro Almodovar returns to his campy farcical roots, with some fairly mean spirited but still kind of funny results.
A technical failure has endangered the lives of the passengers on Peninsula Flight 2549. The pilots, hardened, experienced professionals, are striving, along with their colleagues in the Control Center, to find a solution. The flight attendants and the chief steward are atypical, baroque characters who, in the face of danger, try to forget their own personal problems and devote themselves body and soul to the task of making the flight as enjoyable as possible for the passengers, while they wait for a solution. And a unique solution it is since they drug the economy class senseless while distracting the business class patrons with a mixture of free flowing booze and song and dance numbers. Life in the clouds is as complicated as it is at ground level, as the business class section turns into a hot bed of sex, lies and juicy secrets that they hope never get out...if they survive!
Very reminiscent of some of Almodovar's earlier film, "I'm So Excited" tried for campy and fun but ended up being more than a little cynical as we had a plane filled of characters we didn't even like in the slightest and while there were some genuinely funny moments you get the feeling it never quite got there. Filled with vibrant colours and over the top characters, we never really got a chance to genuinely connect with any of them as they were going through the motions in this over the top farce. He does deserve some points as the truly comic bits, like an inspired musical number where our flight stewards lip sync to the entire title song, hit like absolute gangbusters but those moments are sadly few and far between as we get a plethora of sexual sabotage and innuendo that doesn't discriminate if you are straight or if you are gay and with the comedy misfiring on multiple levels it gets tiresome even when it tries to deliver a positive message at the heart of this foul mouthed cabaret. Even with a couple of fun performances, it just can't sustain itself.
Javier Camara, Carlos Areces, Raul Arevalo as the stewards were simply throwing as many jokes and gags up on the screen as they possible could and at moments it felt like even they were getting exhausted, but manage to keep us interested as an audience because we quite often need a break right when they do. The pilots and passengers each got a moment or two to shine, but it was usually while we were taking a break from the alcohol fueled and drug addled zaniness provided by the stewards. All in all it made for a very uneven film as we very often didn't know which way was up.
Picture and sound quality were obviously first rate and the special features on this combo pack release include a brief look at the making of the film and a Q&A with filmmakers and stars at a screening along with a look at the premiere.
I won't say there weren't moments in "I'm So Excited" that made me genuinely laugh, but with its incredibly uneven pacing, it's hard to get all that excited about this story that is ultimately born of love, no matter how fun it is. However, someone like Almodovar has most true film fans permission to branch in any way that they want.
3 out of 5 stars.
"I'm So Excited" is now available on DVD, Blu-Ray and On Demand to either rent from all major providers or for purchase from retailers like HMV, iTunes and amazon.ca.

My book says: Since $B$ is normal, the quotient group $AB/B$ is well defined. I want to know why the "well-definedness" of $AB/B$ is dependent on $B$ being normal. Let me know if you need more context to make sense of this question. Also, why is the second isomorphism theorem also called the diamond isomorphism theorem? Is it a historical thing?

The quotient group is defined to be the set of all (let's say left) cosets of $B$, written $gB$ for some $g \in G$ with the opertation defined as $(gB) \circ (hB) = (g\circ h)B$. For this to be well defined, we require that $gB = g'B$ and $hB = h'B$ $\implies ghB = g'h'B$. That is to say, any two representations of the same coset behave in the same way, so it doesn't matter which one we choose.
This is where normality comes in, $gB=g'B \implies\exists k_1 \in B$ such that $g' = gk_1$. Similarly $\exists k_2$ such that $h' = hk_2$. Now, $$g'h'B = gk_1hk_2B = g(hh^{-1})k_1hk_2B$$ normality of $B$ means that $h^{-1}k_1h = k_3$ for some $k_3 \in B$. Hence from above:
$$g'h'B = ghk_3k_2B = ghB$$
This shows that if $B$ is normal, then the quotient group is well defined. It's also possible to prove that if the quotient group is well-defined then $B$ is normal. This isn't too hard, and I hope that the above is more what you were after anyway. If not let me know and I'll fill in the rest of the details.
It's called diamond isomorphism theorem because in fact, normal subgroups form modular lattice and when you cast second isomorphism theorem as theorem about modular lattices, in picture it will resemble a diamond. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_lattice#Diamond_isomorphism_theorem

Nothing looks prettier or more satisfying to a farmer than rows of healthy crops growing tall and straight. All the plowing, tilling, soil prep and fussing to make ad keep those rows straight may not be the best for the plants, the soil, or the farmer's bottom line.
Keeping soil the healthiest it can be produces the healthiest plants, and soil and conservation experts are encouraging no-till practices to help green up farmed lands.
"Nature does not till," said Ray Archuleta, conservation agronomist with the USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service. "Which begs the question: Why do we?"
When soil is heavily tilled, the stalks from the previous crop are chopped, and the top several inches of soil structure are disturbed. Conventional thought suggests this fluffing action allows for better seed placement, but Archuleta said that no-till systems, especially when combined with cover crops, are better, and lead to healthier, more drought-resistant soil.
No-till has significant financial benefits for producers, too. "No-tillage can save thousands of dollars every year in fuel, labor and equipment maintenance," Archuleta said. "The key is to let the soil organisms do the work."
Archuleta compares soil aggregates to the soil's lungs and circulatory system. Aggregates provide oxygen for roots, increase pore space for water infiltration and reduce erosion.
Aggregates are also micro-ecosystems for housing bacteria, fungi and other soil organisms that are responsible for breaking down residues and soil nutrient cycling. The majority of these organisms are housed in the upper few inches of the soil – the top soil that is being damaged by tillage.
Any tillage causes organic matter to decompose, resulting in loss of soil carbon. Archuleta recommends no-tillage and adding fresh organic matter, such as manure, compost, and root and plant residue from living, diverse cover crops. Soil organisms use this as food to create healthy, biologically active soil ecosystems.
Archuleta suggests farmers use cover crops to address functional soil issues like compaction. "Tillage vegetables, such as radishes, grow deep into the soil to break apart compacted areas," he said. "Annual ryegrass, crimson clover, winter cereal rye, oats and other cover crops also do a good job of reducing compaction and retaining moisture in the soil."
There is a process in transitioning to a no-till operation. Farmers have to re-tool and change management practices on herbicides and rotations, but most importantly, they need to have an open mind at the possibilities that no-till with cover crops can bring.
Farmers may need to continue experimenting with different varieties and combinations of cover crops, including planting multiple species to find just the right companion plantings, but yields will significantly increase.

Ted Lyle Simmons (born August 9, 1949, in Highland Park, Michigan) A switch-hitter, Simmons was a catcher for most of his Major League Baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals (1968-80), the Milwaukee Brewers (1981-85) and the Atlanta Braves (1986-88). Although he was often overshadowed by his contemporary, Johnny Bench, Simmons is considered one of the best hitting catchers in Major League baseball history. While he didn't possess Bench's power hitting ability, he hit for a higher batting average. A volatile competitor with an intense desire to win, Simmons once fought with team-mate John Denny during a game at Busch Memorial Stadium, in the runway between the club house and the dugout.
Baseball Career
Simmons was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals as their first round pick in the 1967 Major League Baseball Draft. He made his major league debut with the Cardinals, appearing in two games during the 1968 St. Louis Cardinals pennant winning pennant-winning season, while playing most of the year in the minor leagues. Simmons spent another year in Triple-A baseball before returning to the major leagues in 1970 where he platooned alongside catcher Joe Torre. In 1971, the Cardinals converted Torre into a third baseman and Simmons took over as their starting catcher, posting a .304 batting average with 7 home runs and 77 runs batted in. He finished 16th in balloting for the National League Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award as the Cardinals finished in second place behind the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Eastern Division.
Simmons refused to sign a contract for the amount of salary offered by the Cardinals in 1972, electing to play without a contract. He ultimately signed a contract well into the season during which he was recognized as one of the top catchers in the league by earning a spot as a reserve on the 1972 National League All-Star team. He finished the year with a .303 batting average with 16 home runs and 96 runs batted in, breaking Walker Cooper's team record for RBIs by a catcher and, set the team record for home runs by a catcher, previously held jointly by Gene Oliver and Tim McCarver. His defense began to improve as well, posting a .991 fielding percentage and leading National League catchers in assists and in putouts. Despite the Cardinals finishing the season in fourth place, Simmons would finish in 10th place in the National League Most Valuable Player Award balloting. Simmons continued to produce offensively in 1973 with a .310 batting average, along with 13 home runs and 91 runs batted in. He also led the league's catchers in putouts and finished second in assists, earning his second All-Star berth as the Cardinals again finished the season in second place.
In 1975, Simmons hit 18 home runs along with 100 runs batted and posted a career-high .332 batting average, finishing second in the batting title behind Bill Madlock. He also set a National League single-season record for most hits by a catcher with 188. He finished in 6th place in the National League Most Valuable Player Award balloting as the Cardinals ended the season in fourth place. Simmons broke Johnny Bench's nine year stranglehold as the starting catcher for the National League All-Star team when he was elected to be the starting catcher for the National League in the 1978 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. He had another strong year in 1980, hitting .303 with 21 home runs and 98 runs batted in to win the inaugural Silver Slugger Award which is awarded annually to the best offensive player at each Baseball position.
After feuding with Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog, Simmons was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in December 1980. His batting averaged fell to .216 in his first season in the American League but, he rebounded in 1982 with a .269 batting average with 23 home runs and 96 runs batted and led American League catchers with a .995 fielding percentage in 121 games. The Brewers clinched the American League Eastern Division title then, defeated the California Angels in the 1982 American League Championship Series. Simmons met his old team, the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series, hitting two home runs before the Brewers lost in a seven-game series. Simmons had one more good year in 1983 when he hit for a .308 batting average with 13 home runs and 108 runs batted in and, earned his eighth and final All-Star berth. His batting average fell to a .221 in 1984 and in March 1986 he was traded to the Atlanta Braves. He spent three seasons with the Braves as a utility player and pinch hitter before retiring as a player in 1988.
Career statistics
In a 21 year career, Simmons played in 2456 games, accumulating 2472 hits in 8680 at bats for a .285 career batting average along with 248 home runs, 1389 runs batted in and a .348 on base percentage. He ended his career with a .986 fielding percentage. An eight-time All-Star, he batted above .300 seven times, reached 20 home runs six times, and eight times exceeded 90 runs batted in. He switch-hit home runs in a game three times and established a since-broken National League career record for home runs by a switch-hitter (182). Simmons held major league records for catchers with 2,472 career hits and 483 doubles, since broken by Iván Rodríguez. He ranks second all-time among catchers with 1,389 runs batted in and 10th with 248 home runs. He caught 122 shutouts in his career, ranking him eighth all-time.
- 8-time Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star (1972-74, 1977-79, 1981, 1983)
- Silver Slugger Award (1980)
- 7-time hit .300 or more (1971-73, 1975, 1977, 1980, 1983)

- He was featured several times in the commemorative DVD for the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers - Harvey's Wallbangers.
Baseball executive and coaching career
In 1992, Simmons was hired as General Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He served in that position for only a year, retiring after suffering a heart attack in June . He also was Director of Player Development for both the Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and a scout at the Major League level for the Cleveland Indians. He was named the bench coach for the Milwaukee Brewers starting with the 2008 season. On September 15, 2008, he was re-assigned to another position within the organization.
In November Simmons was named bench coach for the Padres under manager Bud Black, replacing Craig Colbert. He was hired on November 5th as a Senior Advisor to General Manager Jack Zduriencik of the Seattle Mariners.

An alternate earth, seen through 'the breach' created deep in the ground of the Appalachians. In the Coldbrook facility, decades of experimentation finally pays off. The Eradicator provides an instant death to anything that enters the breach, maintaining safety protocols. A bipedal form approaches the breach and passes through unscathed. After all, it can't kill something that's already dead. As alarms blare and the facility goes into lockdown to prevent anything from escaping to the surface, Vic Pearson thinks only of his family and breaks lockdown protocol. Vic's not the only thing to dig its way out of Coldbrook, and now the contagion is out.
'Coldbrook' is nothing short of incredible. Each character is well fleshed out and Lebbon has not only given readers some excellent characterization, but each person is struggling with their own demons. Jonah's story is enhanced by the complicated grief of losing his wife. An omnipresent being known as the Inquisitor beckons to him, showing him visions of the multiverse and urging him to take on a new form and follow him. Vic is caught in a love triangle with his wife and the woman he fell in love with years ago. With the fall of the world credited to his selfish actions, he must make the ultimate sacrifice to right his wrong.
The daunting task of finding a cure hangs on the fate of a sickly girl with immunity to the bites. Jayne is a captivating character who's inner strength comes across in Lebbon's writing. A welcome breath of fresh air, secondary character Chaney, is an intriguing addition to the book. An attorney and weekend warrior. The only thing that could have made this character better would have been to see more of him.
Coldbrook is a multifaceted work of fiction; spanning the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres. From the first page it will suck readers into another dimension and reward them with a fast paced, horrific break from reality. This is no average zombie tale.
The Inquisitor bits come off a bit disjointed and falls under the kitchen sink factor. Sometimes less is more, and this bit of plot comes out of left field and takes a turn for the weird. There is no debate that Tim Lebbon is a talented writer. His imagination paints the pages of Coldbrook like priceless art and his descriptive writing style delivers provocative characters, innovative settings and situational catastrophes in highly-detailed prose. Lebbon visualizes to his readers what he sees, hears, tastes, smells and feels in the Coldbrook facility and worlds beyond.

Tropical Depression number 2 has boiled up to life in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane Center began issuing reports on the system Monday afternoon. According to the first position report, TD 2 was some 1500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles which mark the eastern edge of the Caribbean. Movement was almost due west at 16 miles an hour.
While the current course would take TD 2 into the Caribbean and possibly into the Gulf of Mexico there are several factors at work that could make it a meteorological non-event. In his Monday afternoon discussion, NHC forecaster Michael Brennan calls the environment "marginal" for significant strengthening. " Most of the global model guidance and the HWRF shows the system weakening and dissipating by 48 to 72 hours. The official forecast follows suit, but the cyclone could dissipate sooner than shown here."
The five-day forecast map shows TD hitting the Lesser Antilles on Thursday, provided it doesn't fizzle out first. Assuming that it doesn't the computer projections provided by Weather Underground.com paint an encouraging picture for U.S. coastal residents. Ensemble projections show TD 2 moving in a northwesterly arc that would take it over Hispaniola and keep it offshore from the Eastern U.S. coastline.
Just about anyone at all familiar with the variables of hurricane forecasting doubtless is aware that despite ongoing improvements forecasting can still be a frustratingly inexact science. Staying in touch with local media outlets is the best way to avoid being caught by surprise. Surviving a hurricane and it's after effects can be a difficult and dangerous business, but preparation is the key to making it through safely. When to stay and when to leave can be a life or death situation. Keeping emergency supplies ready and accounted for is the first, and perhaps most important step, to surviving a close encounter of the tropical cyclone kind.

"In Praise Of The Hated GM Small Cars Week:" The Vert-A-Pac Auto Carrier
The Chevrolet Vega may have been a perfect storm, an epic in the annals of failure, but there was one element of the Vega project that was more or less a complete success: the innovative "Vert-A-Pac" railroad car used to transport the Vega.
When 85- and 89-foot flatcars came into service for "piggyback" trains carrying semi trailers, someone soon realized that you could fit five automobiles on one. That load was well under the weight limit for the flatcar--but there was space enough within the "clearance diagram" (maximum height and width specification) to add two more layers of autos, for a total of fifteen, and still not exceed the maximum allowable weight. The result is usually called a "tri-level auto rack":
One of the main objectives in the Vega's development was to keep the cost of the car down around $2,000 in circa-1970 dollars. (As we've discussed before, that emphasis on cheapskatery led to some fatal flaws in the design of the car.) At the time, the freight charge for moving a loaded railroad car from the Lordstown assembly plant to the Pacific coast--the longest distance that cars produced at Lordstown would need to travel--was around $4,800. Since the Vega was a subcompact, you might be able to squeeze in five or six on each deck, fifteen to eighteen total, on a tri-level autorack; divide the freight charge by the number of cars and you've got between $267 and $320 in destination charges each, and that doesn't count the cost of trucking from the rail terminal to the dealership. On a car that lists for $2,000, that's a substantial surcharge! If you could get more Vegas on a railroad car, the cost per unit of hauling them would go down, of course.
GM and the Southern Pacific Railroad came up with a clever solution. It just so happens that the sum of a Vega's length, plus the height of a standard 89-foot flatcar's deck above the rail head, is less than the allowable height of an auto carrier car with room to spare. If you could somehow place the Vegas vertically instead of horizontally, you could get as many as thirty into the allowable volume of space above the deck of an 89-foot car.
What the engineers came up with was an auto rack like none other. A truss ran down the middle of the car, and the car sides consisted of five panels hinged at the bottom, each panel holding three cars. When the panels were opened up, they formed a sort of ramp. You drove the cars onto the doors and secured them. The doors were closed and opened with a "Piggy Packer," a large forklift built to load and unload truck trailers from piggyback cars--equipment the railroads already had on hand. The Vert-A-Pac's door latch was specifically designed to be worked with the tips of the Piggy Packer's forks.
In order to be able to travel nose-down without leaking vital fluids all over the railroad--one of the design specifications was that the car had to be loaded straight off the assembly line, and drivable the moment it was unloaded--Vegas destined for transport by rail were equipped with the "VK5" option package. This consisted of a baffle in the oil pan to keep the #1 cylinder from being flooded with oil, a special wiper fluid bottle mounted at a 45-degree angle, a battery with off-center filler caps, and an extra hose in the fuel system. There was also a plug in the fuel tank vent and some plastic spacers reinforcing the motor mounts which were supposed to be removed by the dealer before delivery.
While the Vega itself didn't quite work as intended, the Vert-A-Pac cars were a complete success. After the Vega was discontinued, they may have been used to transport the Monza and other H-body derivatives--I haven't been able to find out for sure one way or the other--but apparently they were too specialized to be used with anything else. They definitely went out of service when the J-cars replaced the H-cars on the Lordstown production line in late 1980. The Vert-A-Pac racks were scrapped, and the underlying flatcars went on to other uses.

Columbus Short: 'Scandal exit was the right thing to do'
Embattled actor COLUMBUS SHORT has conceded that TV bosses were right to remove him from hit show SCANDAL after he was embroiled in a string of legal issues.
Over the past six months, Short has been arrested over a bar brawl in Los Angeles and held twice by police over domestic disputes with his estranged wife Tanee.
The amounting legal run-ins prompted bosses at America's ABC network, which airs Scandal, to take action, and after three seasons of portraying Harrison Wright on the political drama, the actor announced in April (14) that he would not be returning to the show for its upcoming fourth season.
And while he reveals that the show's creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes stood by him, he admits TV executives had to try and combat the negative press.
The 31 year old tells Access Hollywood, "They did not throw me to the curb like trash - that's my family. They knew that I was going through a tough season and rallied around me and wrapped their arms around me, from Shonda to the craft service man. We're a family.
"I think, at a certain point, when you're hearing a barrage of stories after stories, ABC justifiably would want to distance themselves. They did the right thing."
Off the alleged altercations with his estranged partner, he adds, "I will take ownership. Me and my wife are going through serious problems, however, the domestic part of it, I am not a physically violent man. I've never put my hands on a woman physically ever."
He also hints that he uses alcohol to get through tough times, saying, "To be honest with you, I struggle with medicating with alcohol... and that's a real truth. I think that deserves more looking in to.
"If I want to be truthfully honest, I think dealing with the stress of the situations that I've been going through, medicating with anything, I think is dangerous because it becomes a crutch. But it doesn't change it, the situation."
Short was was allegedly involved in another bar altercation in Dallas, Texas over the weekend (begs04Jul14).
