Ex-US Rep. Joseph Early Sr. of Mass. dies at 79
Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts congressman Joseph Early Sr. wasn't known as the most vocal of U.S. representatives during nearly two decades in Washington.
But the late Democrat was someone who wasn't afraid to speak against even his own political party when he believed in something strongly, a friend said Friday.
"It was all about his district, all about his people, all about his strong beliefs. He would not waiver," former Worcester mayor and radio host Jordan Levy said.
Early, who served in the U.S. House from 1975 to 1993, died Friday at his Worcester home after a brief illness. He was 79.
A spokesman for Early's son, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr., confirmed the former congressman's death.
Early's political career started in 1962, when he won a state legislative race by a narrow margin. He then served six terms as a state representative from 1963 to 1974.
Before politics, the Worcester native served in the Navy for two years and worked as a Massachusetts high school teacher and coach.
As a student at College of the Holy Cross, he played for the 1954 squad that won the NIT basketball championship.
Following a House banking scandal involving bounced checks, Early lost his seat in the U.S. House in 1992 to Shrewsbury Republican Peter Blute. But authorities cleared Early of any criminal wrongdoing.
U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts said Friday that Early "fought tirelessly for working people" while championing economic development and advocating for medical research.
Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray called Early a tenacious advocate who helped establish University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester and get federal money for health and science research in Massachusetts.
Gov. Deval Patrick said Early's dedication to public service and central Massachusetts residents paved the way for many public servants who came after him.
"His unwavering commitment to creating a better Commonwealth will be deeply missed by his former colleagues and constituents," Patrick said in a news release.
Early's family said in a statement Friday that loved ones were very proud of his life's work.
"He showed that helping people truly is a noble profession," they said.
Survivors include his wife, Marilyn, eight children and 23 grandchildren.
When officials dedicated a post office in his hometown in his honor about a decade ago, Early said he enjoyed the thought of his grandchildren passing by the building in years to come and knowing it had his name.

A tax withheld calculator that calculates the correct amount of tax to withhold is also available. At the time of calling the Federal election, the income tax changes announced in the Budget had not been enacted by Parliament. As a result there will be no change to the majority of tax tables from 1 July 2016. The tax tables that have been updated are for HELP/SSL/TSL and SFSS due to the annual indexing of repayment amounts, and the Superannuation and ETP tax tables to include indexed cap amounts for the 2016-17 income year (where applicable). Tax tables with an '*' have downloadable look-up tables available in Portable Document Format (PDF). If you would like a copy of the PDF, select the tax table you need and go to the heading 'Using this table'. The link to the PDF is in the 'Get it done' box.

Message from the Dean
Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, and Friends
My love for the School of Nursing and its mission of lifelong learning has been forged over the past 25 years as I've worked as a teacher, a practicing nurse clinician, and scholar, alongside men and women whom I consider to be the best and brightest faculty, staff and students anywhere in the world.
As dean, I'm passionate about ensuring that our faculty and students remain successful and that our School remains dynamic, strong, and held in the very highest regard. Though we have many challenges ahead of us, nurses will play a vital role in reshaping the delivery of health care. The contributions we make as researchers, educators and clinicians are essential to transforming our health care system to better meet the needs of patients and our broader community. As a School we are also entrusted with the responsibility and privilege of preparing the next generation of health care leaders, educators, researchers and providers who will be able to meet new challenges and positively contribute to the future of our profession.
We are entering a very exciting time for our School as we build on the strength and tradition of our past, and chart a course toward an even more vibrant future. In the coming weeks, with the input and support of the School's leadership team, faculty and staff, and our Medical Center partners, we will be formulating a new strategic plan that will build on our areas of excellence and thoughtfully position us to meet the projected needs of nursing education in this era of health care reform.
Our unique passions, ideas and commitment to our mission will continue to fuel the School's success. I look forward to your input and support as we embark on this fulfilling journey together.
Kathy H. Rideout, EdD, PPCNP-BC, FNAP
Dean, University of Rochester School of Nursing

Any thoughts or experience with Markins TH-200 Hub ?
Interested if anyone has replaced the hub of their Gitzo 2 series with the Markins TH-200 and what are their impressions? What do you like? Was it worth it?
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
#1. "RE: Any thoughts or experience with Markins TH-200 Hub ?" | In response to Reply # 0jrp Charter MemberFri 04-Jan-13 01:46 AM
I replaced the hub for a Series 2 Mountaineer and the switch to a TH-200 is much worthy, weight-wise; while even gaining a bit in stability.
Have a great time :-)

I'm very pleased with the Series 3 Markins hub I have installed on my GT3541LS legs, but since that is a different model series I cannot speak to precise differences in the Series 2.
I do think the conical section of the Markins hub is superior to the "figure 8" of the Mountaineer mount. I did the same thing with my own older G1228 Series 2 CF, which results in the same geometry but weight savings may be different than with modern Series 2 and the hub. In my case the weight was about a push, in your case I think there is a significant reduction? You would have to weigh your mount (perhaps with the ground level set installed) and compare to the Th-200 weight spec.

SMF Database Settings
SMF Path: relative to /home/website/public_html/forum
i put this path but it didn't worked so what should i put here instead?
that field needs the absolute path to your SMF forum (on the same machine offcourse!)
so if you have for example:
it will probably be
so the field would need "/mysmfforum" (without quotes)
the easier way is to search for SSI.php on smf folder.
the path needs to point to taht specific file.
it Worked.
i just entered as adviced > /forum (without quotes)
Note: Please add more detailed Usage Instructions for begginer users in the ZIP file with some screeshots. Thank you very much!
i'll do that m8
glad you liked
screenshot added
sorry for offtopic to this post:
can you make it work for smf 2.0 (rc) ? would be really great..
have you all a nice day
It is already 100% working on SMF 2.0 RC3. In fact, it is ONLY compatible with SMF 2.0, for now. :)
SchattenMann has been working very hard on this, so he deserves a big applause!
@Lazy79 this only works with SMF 2.X....
ah sorry thought the other way. great to read! will give it a try tomorrow! thank you very much, SchattenMann!
np hope you like it
@Lazy79 The reverse should also be possible, that is, from SMF to WP.
But right now the MOST important thing is to perfect this WPSMF plugin to export from WP to SMF. Once this is done, then maybe SchattenMann will consider adding even more functionality.
ho knows...

I am currently going through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I recently became aware of a $3,000 charge imposed by the state for the birth of my child four years ago. The charge isn't listed as an arrearage when I looked up my case. I never receive notice that this charge was ordered by a judge. Could I file a motion with the bankruptcy court to get this discharged?
Criminal Defense Attorney
I am a Maryland practitioner but will try to handle this one. Medical bills generally ARE dischargeable in a Chapter 7. Now where this is tricky is that it is for the birth of YOUR child. If this can be seen as any kind of child support, then no.
However, let a court tell you that you are wrong. I suggest you put the bills on the bankruptcy, following the rule that generally medical bills are dischargeable. Unless there's some Local Rule in Michigan I am not aware of, I think this is a good strategy.
Bankruptcy Attorney
Have you retained an attorney for your Chapter 7 bankruptcy? If so, consult your attorney.
The debt is likely dischargeable, however. Administrative and other governmental fees that do not fall into the specific categories of debt, such as recent tax debt or unpaid child support, etc., that the Bankruptcy Code explicitly excludes from dischargeability are just as dischargeable as any common credit card debt.
If you've already filed and haven't scheduled this debt, you'll need to amend your schedules to list it and properly notice the creditor (State of MI).
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
Medical bills are generally dischargeable in Bankruptcy. I am not sure why the "charge was ordered by a judge". Did the judge issue a judgment for the creditor? In any event, it is your duty to add the creditor on your schedules. Follow the local rules when amending.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- One week after befuddling Tom Brady, the New York Jets face a less daunting challenge at quarterback -- Buffalo Bills rookie EJ Manuel, who has 45,000 fewer passing yards than the New England Patriots star.
Jets coach Rex Ryan revealed a confident smile Wednesday when asked if his eyes light up when facing a rookie quarterback.
Ryan's complex and aggressive defensive scheme has caused a lot of problems for rookies. In four-plus seasons under Ryan, the Jets are 5-2 against rookie starters (see chart at right). The Jets have intercepted them seven times and held them to three touchdown passes.
What makes Sunday's game unusual is that Ryan, too, has a rookie at quarterback, Geno Smith. Save for a strike game in 1987, this will mark the first game in Jets history with two rookies starting at quarterback. That it's Manuel and Smith, the two highest-drafted quarterbacks in April, adds another layer to the story.
Smith was expected to be the first quarterback off the board, but his draft day turned into two draft days, as he slipped to the second round. The Bills selected Manuel with the 16th overall pick and named him their starter the week before the opener. Smith still is on a week-to-week audition, if you believe Jets officials.
"I'm way past that now," said Smith, insisting that falling behind Manuel in the draft doesn't fuel his motivation. "I'm a ways away from that. I'm not going to be selfish and go out there with that on my mind. I think that's a distraction."
So far, the edge goes to Manuel, who has completed 68 percent of his passes with only one interception and one sack. Smith has a 53 percent completion rate with four interceptions and nine sacks. Ryan likes the way Manuel uses his check-down receivers, and he'd like Smith to do the same.
The coach acknowledged that Smith has a tendency to hold the ball too long. Ryan wants him to run or throw a dump-off if no one is open, but he doesn't want him to rush into decisions. There's a fine line, obviously.
"Know where the escape points are," Ryan said.
Smith will face a familiar defensive scheme Sunday because a former Ryan protégé, Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, has installed a system with many similarities. Pettine was at Ryan's side for the previous four seasons, absorbing knowledge he will undoubtedly use in an attempt to confuse Smith. Both defenses like to blitz, so it could be tough on both rookies.
"It's always important to get the ball out and get it out on time," said Smith, who imploded last week with a three-interception fourth quarter against the Patriots. "You never want to sit back there and pat it and babysit the ball."
Ironically, the Jets did that to Brady, who, with a depleted supporting cast, suffered one of the worst statistical games of his career. The Patriots still won, 13-10. It was a crushing loss for the Jets, but it did wonders for the confidence of the defense.
The Jets will rely on their defense to stabilize the team as it endures the growing pains of a rookie quarterback. Asked if he learned anything from 2009, when he started a rookie (Mark Sanchez) from Day 1, Ryan smiled.
"Yeah," he said. "Play great defense."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal judge overseeing Barry Bonds' criminal case says she'll likely exclude from trial three positive drug tests, though she's inclined to keep a recorded conversation between Bonds' personal trainer and former personal assistant discussing steroid use.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston said during an evidentiary hearing Thursday that her initial thoughts were to exclude the 2000-2001 positive tests seized by investigators during a Balco raid unless there is direct testimony tying the urine samples to Bonds.
Bonds is charged with lying to a December 2003 grand jury when he said he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. He pleaded not guilty to the charges earlier Thursday.

Permission Denied: Bulgaria Says "No" To Chevron's Exploratory Fracking [1]
Laurel Whitney [2] | January 17, 2012
By Laurel Whitney [2] • Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 15:53
No kinky stuff, Bulgaria declared as it limited Chevron in using only conventional drilling techniques and not hydraulic fracturing. The Bulgarian government voted [3] to prohibit Chevron from using fracking to search for natural gas in the northeast section of the country. The main driver for the decision [4] was public concern about contaminating the drinking water supply [5] and land with unknown chemicals and leaking gas (sound familiar [6]?).
The country asked Chevron in June to conduct an exploratory test within its borders for its potential for gas extraction. Since then, citizens have voiced their concern over allowing fracking because of the dangers of earthquakes [7] and public health risks [8] such as cancer and other ailments experienced by other communities impacted by fracking. This past Saturday (January 14th), people gathered to protest [9] the extreme extraction method and convinced the government to conduct an Environmental Impact Study prior to implementing the techniques.
Tomorrow, the government will take the issue one step further and vote on whether to permanently prohibit fracking both in the country and its designated territorial waters in the Black Sea.

In a dire match which included just three attempts on goal - all for the home side – a point was the most that either team deserved.
The teams were greeted on to the field by 13,000 spectators as the Is Arenas stadium was opened, with a restricted capacity, for the first time this season.
But the contest did not befit the occasion as Cagliari – who at least attempted to attack – were thwarted in their attempts to snatch all three points from the match.

Truly Love Is Blind - Poem by Rohit Sapra
Love is blind
As love just knows how to feel
It cannot actually see who you are in love with?
Since, love just happens to be
We love someone who appears as caring to us
Then we just begin to be in love
No questions asked about it.
Simply it happens to be
As that is the way we are
We do not think and just feel through emotions.
In my view if you use your brain in love then it will never allow
Never allow you to love truly
It is heart, your heart needs to feel something special for that special someone
Then, love just is
It starts to make you feel things, never felt before
For that one and really special person
Love starts to be as love is blind, truly blind.

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer
EVERETT — The wait is almost over for the National Lacrosse League's Washington Stealth. After an eight-month offseason, the Stealth play host to Calgary at 7:15 p.m. Saturday in their 2012 season opener.
The Stealth are looking for a third consecutive appearance in the NLL's Champion's Cup and are working to reclaim the crown they earned in 2010.
It won't be easy — and two reasons immediately jump out. The first is that the league has more depth this season since the Boston Blazers won't be competing, dropping the number of teams from 10 to nine. The second is that the Stealth's leader on the sideline, head coach Chris Hall, is out for an indefinite period as he undergoes treatment for throat cancer.
Assistant coach Art Webster, who has been with the Stealth for seven seasons, will guide the team in Hall's absence.
"I think there is a total comfort level there with Artie on the bench," Stealth general manager Doug Locker said. "And certainly from an organizational standpoint, it's the same. He is our longest tenured assistant. He's tied to CH (Chris Hall) in a number of ways. It's very convenient for us because they (live) in the same city (Victoria, B.C.) so they communicate quite a bit. I think everybody has the utmost respect for Art Webster."
Hall remains involved with the day-to-day coaching decisions, but has said he won't return to the sideline until he is fully ready. "The good news is that in today's technological world, I will be closely connected," Hall said.
The roster Washington brings into the 2012 campaign features most of the same weapons that helped the Stealth reach the NLL title game the past two seasons. The "dynamic duo" of Lewis Ratcliff and Rhys Duch are back to lead the Stealth's potent offensive attack. Paul Rabil, widely regarded as the best field lacrosse player in the world, returns for his fourth season with the Stealth, and goalkeeper Tyler Richards, who has proven to be one of the NLL's most clutch goaltenders come playoff time, returns as well.
Even though the Stealth return all heir major weapons, another trip to the NLL championship game is no sure thing, Locker said.
"If we didn't win (the NLL title), it wouldn't be a success no matter where we finish," Locker said. "But that having been said, times are different now. While we think we are better, it's a nine-team league and two years ago it was 10 or 11 teams.
"It's going to be a tough year. Honestly, we could be 8-8 (in the regular season) and we could feel like that was a fantastic year before the playoffs because I think it is just going to be a bloodbath every single game."
The core of the team remains unchanged, but fans will see a few new faces Saturday night. Most notable on the offensive end will be rookie Brett Hickey, who earned a spot on the roster as the team's third right-handed offensive forward, and Dean Hill, who won a spot as the team's fourth left-handed forward.
But if the Stealth are going to win another championship, it most likely will be because their defense returned to its 2010 form.
The addition of transition player Kyle Ross, acquired in an offseason trade with the Toronto Rock, and the return of healthy defenseman Kyle Sorensen gives the coaching staff and Locker hope that the defense will be one of the stronger units in the league. "I don't think anyone in the league has a deeper defense than we do," Locker said.
Sorensen missed most of last season with a torn ACL but said he is 100 percent. His value to the team was evident last spring as the Stealth went on postseason run all the way to the championship game after Sorensen returned.
"It's like having another coach out there," Locker said. "The guys have so much respect for him. He's one of those guys that when he says something, everyone stops and listens. He's very smart — picks his moments well. He doesn't necessarily talk a lot, but when he talks, guys will listen."
With the offense loaded and the defense back at full strength, does Washington have a weakness?
"You wonder if we have enough depth at some areas," Locker said. "A lot of the depth we think we have is unproven depth. I wouldn't call them weaknesses, they are unknowns."
While Saturday's game with the Roughnecks is the first of the season for the Stealth, it will be the second for Calgary, which opened its season Sunday with a 12-9 victory over defending NLL champion Toronto.

2016 Summer Program - Paid Internships!
We are now enrolling Oakland youth for two exciting programs this summer July 5-August 4, 2016!
Lower Bottom Playaz Theater Day Camp Monday-Thursday, 10am-2pm, Ages 5-18
BAY-Peace Vocational Theater Internship Mon & Weds 10 am-2pm, and Tues & Thursdays 10 am--4:30pm, Ages 14-21

Interviews for paid Internships are 2-3 pm on Tuesday 6/21 and Tuesday 6/28! RSVP 510-863-1737.
Lower Bottom Playaz (LBP) Summer Theater Day Camp will be led by Ayodele Nzinga, a renowned artist who, in the tradition of the Black Arts Continuum, uses performance as a method of inter-intra group communication. She established The Lower Bottom Playaz, Inc.(LBP) in 1999 and has run a summer theater camp for youth since 2007. It is a theater arts and literacy intensive that introduces youth to theater making, the art of stagecraft and collaborative play as a way of enshrining imagination. The activities focus on the development of critical thinking, the practice of multiple literacies, community visioning, and facilitate self-generated learning. LBP artists commit to lifelong learning through the arts, and invest in the use of the medium of live theater to engage inner-city communities. They purposefully use performance as a way of increasing social awareness, providing an entry point to community concerns, as well as to stimulate, celebrate and enhance understanding of ourselves and others through the shared experience of live theatre. This is a free training program that is open to youth 5-18 years old. For questions regarding the LBP Summer Theater Day Camp, please contact Ayodele Nzinga at email@example.com.
This summer, BAY-Peace is seeking an additional 6 youth for a paid internship to supplement their participation in LBP with extra skill building around community organizing and vocational development on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Stipends will be provided! $1,255 for five weeks, 20 hrs/week

More About our Theater of the Oppressed Program (TOP)!
"A Rehearsal for the Revolution"
By Tevin Wilson
Theater of the Oppressed was created by Augusto Boal, in Brazil in the 1960s, as a way of promoting political and social change. He realized that homeless people were being taken out to the fields and killed by the government. This went on because they feared tourists would leave with a negative impression of Brazil. Boal organized people to walk around with signs saying, " I want to be a slave again." The goal was to get people's attention and let them question what was going on. This act marked the beginning of Theater of the Oppressed, and it has grown into a world-wide movement. In the words of Boal, "The theater itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution."
BAY-Peace offers Theater of the Oppressed workshops in schools and community organizations that work with youth. We have completed workshops for over 300 students and 65 teachers so far this school year. An important piece of our work has been using Forum Theater to create safe spaces for practicing effective ways to respond in oppressive situations. We have developed three skits based on our personal experiences. The skits are focused on police violence, militarism/military recruitment, and the educational system. Our skits are based on real life situations in an effort to relate to the experiences of other Oakland youth.
I feel that these techniques give you a greater chance of defusing a confrontation before it escalates. For me Theater of the Oppressed is like an avatar state, where I can do and say things I wouldn't say in a real situation. I might get into a confrontation then walk away saying " I should have said this " or " I should have done this." With the tools I have gained from these workshops, I have learned how to defuse situations before they escalate. Every situation will not require you to use these tools, but it's good to have a choice to handle it the way you want to, knowing you have skills in your back pocket. We look forward to expanding our Theater of the Oppressed work, and sharing these tools for defusing oppressive confrontations with more youth and adults next year.
2013 SUMMER PROGRAM: BAY-Peace will be offering a six week summer program which will include an intensive Theater of the Oppressed training with John Scott, a world renowned drama therapist. Participants will learn to facilitate Theatre of the Oppressed exercises that will draw out the experiences of young people who are encouraged to practice more creative ways to deal with the violence and oppression they face. We will be offering youth-led workshops during this period, so please contact us if you have an opportunity to bring this amazing form of popular education to your group or class this summer. More details coming soon. 510-863-1737, email@example.com
The workshops we offer are highly interactive, utilizing Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed structures and exercises to draw upon social justice related stories from the participants. In our interactive youth-led presentation-performances, audiences are encouraged to be 'spect-actors.' In this way young people are able to bring their minds, hearts and bodies into play as they explore ways to transform the violence which is often part of their experience with institutions like the military, the police/prison system and immigration enforcement (ICE).
If you are part of a youth group and would like to host a BAY-Peace theater workshop/performance with your group, please let us know! 510-863-1737, firstname.lastname@example.com
BAY-Peace Visits the Big Apple!
by Tele'jon Quinn
On March 20th the BAY-Peace team flew out to New York for a Spring break we will never forget! For many of us it was our first time there and for some of us it was our first time flying. Nearly every moment of the trip was a completely new experience that offered a lot to learn from. We are especially appreciative of the former BAY-Peace team member, Abraham Velasquez and our sister organization, The YA-YA Network. They made our week long stay in NYC not only welcoming, but they made it feel like home. We also appreciate the Brotherhood/Sister Sol for allowing us to share and receive art with the talented young folks in their Lyrical Circle.
Of all of our major impactful experiences, the Lyrical Circle with Brotherhood/Sister Sol was one of our first. For those of you unfamiliar with what goes on in a lyrical circle, we share our lyrics! Usually through spoken word or hip hop. We had the privilege of hearing their stories in the different style of writing the East Coast has to offer. However different the stories were, there was usually a common ground in the struggles between the East and West. We related to stories of destructive relationships, poverty, and gentrification. Watching the thousands of films that portray life in New York City could never have prepared us for the real experiences these young artists shared with us.
Next on our list of dope impactful experiences was the Street Harassment Summit; that was organized and facilitated by young people. At this summit we had interesting dialogue around the role of womyn in street harassment. People shared thought provoking personal experiences. Working in small groups, we identified the root causes, the institutions that reinforce, the outcomes and effects, and realistic solutions to the street harassment issue. By far the most interesting conversation that came up, in my opinion, was the claim that even if a womyn chose to engage a street harasser and pursue sexual relations, that none of us has the right to judge her and say she doesn't have respect for herself. Some very interesting debate arose from this statement, and that dialogue was the highlight of my summit experience.
But that was all just a portion of what we experienced in New York. We did so much from facilitating a Theater of the Oppressed workshop for our YA-YA fam to trying strange new food from some Mom and Pop shops, and even having our first White Castle Sliders. We danced in front of projects at night, we freestyled on subways, and we had full-blown cyphers on the glowing streets of Time Square. We did just about everything a dope young group could do in NYC, except feed one of the largest capitalist monsters in the country. Alright, maybe we fed it a little.

"Train of Thought" — Poetry in Action
Senior Project by Tele'Jon Quinn
PLAY VIDEO Tele'Jon Quinn, together with Christsna Sot, Brian Piera and Megan Torio, shared their original poetry on the BART trains in an effort to raise consciousness about the issue of youth homicides—in particular those being carried out by professional and vigilante law enforcement officers. Tele'Jon Quinn is a member of the BAY-Peace Youth Action Team who graduated from Met West High School in June 2012 and now attends Laney College. He, Megan, Christsna and Brian have all been active with BAY-Peace and participate in the Friday night Lyrical Circle Writers Group at BAY-Peace.
BAY-Peace Tax Day Action in Oakland!
On April 17th BAY-Peace Youth Leaders and students from our Resistance Art Projects Class at Oakland Emiliano Zapata Street Academy teamed up with youth from 67 Sueños, war tax resisters and a coalition of other anti-war activists including Code Pink, Grandmothers Against the War, Courage to Resist on Tax Day. We used poetry, theater and dance to let folks know how the youth of Oakland feel about the fact that half our federal taxes are used for war!
Thanks to Ces Rosales, Siri Margerin, Jeff Paterson & Lucinda Daly for taking these beautiful photos of our Tax Day Action!
And thanks to David Nelson for creating this video of our Flash Mob dance.

Am I the only one that thinks the 'Toast of Ireland' is a really bad pun? Mind you, so was 'The Cream of Manchester' and they managed good work.

Jazz Listings From The New York Times
From NYTimes.com:
Crystal Magnets (Wednesday through next Friday) The name suggests a Brooklyn indie-rock band, but it's actually the handle of a dual-piano alliance between Andy Milne and Benoît Delbecq, inquisitive improvisers with an interest in manipulating timbre. For each of their three nights here, they'll play an 8:30 p.m. set as a duo, and then a 9:45 p.m. set featuring one or more guests, notably the fellow pianists Ethan Iverson (on Wednesday) and Fred Hersch (on Thursday). At Shapeshifter Lab, 18 Whitwell Place, Park Slope, Brooklyn, shapeshifterlab.com; $15 for two sets, $30 for three nights. (Chinen)
Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas: Sound Prints (Tuesday through Dec. 2) The saxophonist Joe Lovano and the trumpeter Dave Douglas share a bustling and approachable vision of jazz, geared toward expedition while grounded in postbop custom. Sound Prints is their working band, a quintet capable of hair-trigger movements, featuring the drummer Joey Baron — a trusted colleague to both bandleaders, going back many years — along with the pianist Lawrence Fields and the bassist Linda Oh, younger players of evident promise. At 9 and 11 p.m., Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village, (212) 255-4037, villagevanguard.com; $25 cover, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)
Josh Sinton's Ideal Bread (Tuesday) Led by the baritone saxophonist Josh Sinton, Ideal Bread puts a new shine on music by Steve Lacy, the great soprano saxophonist (and, briefly, Mr. Sinton's mentor). The band — which also features the cornetist Kirk Knuffke, the bassist Richard Giddens and the drummer Tomas Fujiwara — has lately been focused on compositions from a pivotal period in Lacy's career, during his early years as an expatriate in Paris (beginning in 1969). That repertory, including pieces like "Somebody Special" and "The Wire," forms the crux of this concert. At 8:30 p.m., Shapeshifter Lab, 18 Whitwell Place, Park Slope, Brooklyn, shapeshifterlab.com; $10. (Chinen)
Henry Threadgill and Zooid (Friday and Saturday) Henry Threadgill, a penetrating saxophonist, flutist and composer, employs an expanded version of his flagship band, Zooid, in this premiere of a work with the disarmingly diminutive name of "Dimples." His personnel will include the guitarist Liberty Ellman, the tuba and trombone player Jose Davila and the drummer Elliot Humberto Kavee — all longtime Zooid members — as well as the trumpeters Jonathan Finlayson and Stephanie Richards, the trombonists Jacob Garchik and Ben Gerstein, and the bassist Zachary Lober. At 8 p.m., Roulette, 509 Atlantic Avenue, near Third Avenue, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, (917) 267-0363, roulette.org; $25, $20 for students and members. (Chinen)

Communication Major & Minor
As a communication major or minor at Truman, you will pursue the complexities that characterize communication in an advanced, technical, and multicultural world — fast-paced and ever-changing. We guide you to meet these challenges in and out of the classroom to be a thoughtful, engaged citizen in many walks of life.
Timely Coursework
At Truman, your classes emphasize the interconnectedness essential for meeting the challenges of the 21st century. Pursue a broad course of study and choose your focus:
- Communication Studies: Communication is the cornerstone of all successful relationships. Here you'll study the theories and practices of human communication from both rhetorical and social-scientific viewpoints. This will prepare you for a wide variety of careers in management, consulting, research and client/customer service. You'll also be prepared for graduate or professional school, particularly in law, counseling, education, and seminary.
- Journalism: Make a difference in society by learning to analyze, interpret, and critique civic issues by writing and producing content for the new convergent media environment - newspaper, online, magazine, radio, television, and more.
- Public Communication: Learn how public opinion is formed and build practical skills in writing, speaking, and advocacy. Great for careers in public policy development, political consulting, public relations, advertising, integrated and social marketing, non-profit activism, and other areas of social influence.
Theoretical Base, Practical Experiences.
Freely explore the many fields of communication through student media or other communication organizations—without fighting the large numbers of other students you see at larger schools. From writing for a convergent travel magazine to covering a beat for the student newspaper or anchoring newscasts on a weekly TV show; from radio announcing, talk shows, and sports to writing a column for the Truman Media Network (TMN), new experiences await you!
Maybe the university's nationally competitive Speech and Debate team is your thing. Or join the Ad & PR club or Lambda Pi Eta (our national honorary fraternity). Whatever your interest, there's likely a student organization that offers opportunities to explore communication beyond the classroom in a fun and creative atmosphere.
Our Graduates Succeed
Whether you're planning on grad school or moving straight into the workforce, you'll graduate with a portfolio of real-life experience that gives you the edge over your peers.

Heating bills up due to higher-than-average consumption
We're paying the price for dialing up the thermostat in January.
National Fuel Gas bills for the month are arriving, and we're shivering over the charges -- not because the cost of natural gas increased, but because we used more of it to keep warm.
"Customers should expect higher bills due to the very cold weather and increased use of natural gas to heat their homes," said Sandra James, National Fuel Gas spokeswoman in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Gas consumption peaked Jan. 7, when we used 80 percent more than on an average January day, James said. The high temperature that day was 4 degrees. The low was minus 10.
"It's just been very, very cold," she said. "We haven't seen temperatures like this in 20 years."
The average temperature in Erie in January was 4 degrees colder than normal, according to National Weather Service climate data. Daily temperatures were as low as minus 10, and with strong winds felt like minus 40.
Candace Goldberg, of Erie, who turned up the thermostat to keep the cold at bay, said in a posting on the Erie Times-News Facebook page that her heating bill "skyrocketed" as a result "because we rent a large older home with not the best insulation and older windows."
The family's electric bill is also higher than they'd like.
"We use a few little space heaters as well ... so expensive all around," Goldberg said.
It could be worse. In some parts of the country high demand and low supplies pushed natural gas prices 15 to 30 percent higher than in January 2013. Spot prices reached $7.90 per million British thermal unit on Feb. 5, up from $3.50 in January 2013, according to the U.S. Energy Information.
Locally, the variety of available gas sources, including the Marcellus Shale, helped keep prices stable, James said.
Rates have not changed since Nov. 1, when National Fuel lowered rates 5.2 percent.
"We are not experiencing the dramatic gas pricing that cities along the East Coast and even into Canada have been experiencing in the past six weeks," James said.
But even some Pennsylvanians can't afford to stay warm. Applications for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program spiked the week of Feb. 1 after temperatures dropped below zero again at the end of January. About 17,330 people statewide applied for help to pay their heating bills. That was 69 percent more than applied for help the week prior, said Kait Gillis, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, which administers the LIHEAP program.
"It was brutally cold," Gillis said, "and that seems to have prompted people to apply for help if they're eligible, and to remind others to apply."
Most Erie residents commenting on their heating bills on Facebook were philosophical about the extra expense, or had none.
"It went up a few dollars, but it's better than freezing," Scott David Fisher, of Erie, commented. "I really can't complain about less than $5 a month."
Fisher and others said that they didn't hesitate to turn the heat up because they take advantage of budget billing by National Fuel Gas, which distributes costs evenly throughout the year.
"I pay $45/month all year long," Mariah DiPlacido, of Erie, said.
Others said that any additional money spent on heating may have saved money on plumbing.
"If it kept the pipes from freezing, it was worth it," said Todd Daughenbaugh, of Erie.
The cold could continue for a while. Odds are even for temperatures below, at or above average through April, according to the National Weather Service extended forecast for the region.

THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL; Excerpts: Senators' Questions and Responses From the Adversaries
Published: January 23, 1999
(Page 5 of 11)
And of course, the important thing is, what's the intent? Not the result, but the intent? And I think that you can see that there was an intent to make sure that Monica Lewinsky was taken care of -- again, she was on board, part of the team, before she actually would have to give testimony or the President would have to give testimony.
Offer of Rebuttal
Q. This question is from Senator Boxer, and it's to counsel for the President:
In light of the confession of Manager Hutchinson that Judge Wright's order had no bearing on the intensity of the job search, can you comment on the balance of his claim on the previous question?
MR. RUFF -- If there was ever a moving target, we've just seen it in motion: Well, it really wasn't Dec. 11, because now we know it didn't happen on Dec. 11, so let's go to Dec. 19 or maybe Jan. 8, and somewhere in there we're going to find the right answer.
I suggest to you that that is reflective of both the difficulty we have had in coming to grips with these charges and, candidly, the difficulty that the House might have had in figuring out what those charges really were.
Let me just respond briefly to Mr. Manager Hutchinson's argument. And let me focus first on another portion of his presentation, in which he states there, and he's referring now to Ms. Lewinsky: ''She's referring to a Dec. 6 meeting with the President,'' in which, as you will recall, she has testified that there was a brief discussion about her efforts to get a job through Mr. Jordan, and the President sort of vaguely said, ''Yes, I'll do something about that.''
And this is Mr. Manager Hutchinson's characterization of that moment:
''And Dec. 6, you'll recall, is the day after the witness list comes out and the day on which he learns of it. So you can see from that that it was not a high priority for the President either. It was, 'Sure, I'll get to that, I will do that.' But then the President's attitude suddenly changed. What started out as a favor for Betty Currie dramatically changed after Ms. Lewinsky became a witness and the judge's order was issued, again on Dec. 11.''
But to the extent that the managers now seek to drag the intensification process back into the Dec. 5 or 6 period, which is when Ms. Lewinsky went onto the witness list, you must look at what did they say. Page 11, majority brief: ''Mr. Jordan met President Clinton the next day, Dec. 7, but they didn't discuss the job at all.''
Now, it's absolutely clear that the President knew that Ms. Lewinsky was on the witness list when he met with Mr. Jordan on Dec. 7, and yet the issue of Monica Lewinsky didn't even surface.
I'm getting some help, here.
''The first'' -- ''The first'' -- their words, page 11, majority brief -- majority report -- ''The first activity calculated to help Ms. Lewinsky actually get a job took place on Dec. 11. There was no urgency.''
Now, it's possible, of course, as their trial brief reflects, to bob and weave and dodge around the facts here, but their trial brief says there was obvious -- and referring to the period after she appears on the witness list -- there was obviously still no urgency to help Ms. Lewinsky and even they acknowledge that the Dec. 7 meeting with Mr. Jordan was unrelated to Ms. Lewinsky. . . .
Perjury Aspects
Q. Senator Nickles asks the House managers: The President's counsel stated ''The President did not commit perjury.'' Please respond.
JAMES E. ROGAN -- If anybody wants a lesson in legal schizophrenia, please read the President's trial brief on this very subject. They skirt the issue by saying nowhere in the President's grand jury deposition did he ever affirm the truth of his civil deposition testimony.
But they won't come out and say he lied, they won't come out and say he perjured himself. And they try to ignore the actual fact of when the President was asked questions about his oath that he took during the grand jury. I read therefrom:
Q. You understand the oath requires you to give the whole truth -- that is, a complete answer to each question -- sir?
A. I will answer each question as accurately and fully as I can.
Q. Now, you took the same oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth on Jan. 17, 1998, in a deposition in the Paula Jones litigation. Is that correct, sir?
A. I did take an oath there.
Q. Did the oath you took on that occasion mean the same to you then as it does today?
A. I believed then that I had to answer the questions truthfully; that's correct.
The colloquy goes on. It is in your materials. They attempt to say that that somehow inoculates the President from having to admit that he perjured himself during the Paula Jones deposition.
But let's take a quick look at some of the answers he gave during the Paula Jones deposition, that he affirmed in his grand jury testimony, that we now know is false.
Q. If she, Monica Lewinsky, told someone she had a sexual affair with you beginning in November 1995, would that be a lie?
A. It's certainly not the truth. It would not be the truth.
Q. I think I used the term ''sexual affair.'' And so the record is completely clear, have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in deposition Exhibit 1?
A. I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky. I've never had an affair with her.
And then they go on to ask him:
Q. Is it true that when Monica Lewinsky worked at the White House she met with you several times?

Jonas Gustavsson "The Monster" has retained his position as the backup goalie for the Leafs. In the days of old before salary caps and team parity the "backup goalie" could be considerably weaker than the "starting goalie." Now with team parity and size and speed dominating the game both goalies need to be bigger, faster and better than goalies of days gone by. To win games Gus has to be "The Monster."
On the face of it not many players are wooed to the NHL from the Swedish Elite League (SEL). In the playoffs of the SEL, Gus however played 16 games and had a .961 save percentage. During that playoff run he had a 1.03 GAA and led his team to the championship and won the MVP award. Gus was "Super Gus"!
Gus was then wooed by several teams including Toronto and Dallas and eventually Toronto won. If you looked at our goaltending situation at the time it was obvious that a starter job was a possibility for a young and upcoming goaltender. Vesa Toskala was the current starting goalie and Toronto probably looked like a place he could contend for a starting job.
Gus moved to Toronto and played backup and played fantastically, eventually winning the day-to-day starting job. He moves like a big Dominik Hasek or a Felix Potvin. He is big but not huge by today's goaltending standards. He is 6'3" but that makes him tall but not the tallest, big but not the biggest. James Reimer is 6'2" tall and outweighs Gus by 15 lbs.
"The Monster" is quite a complement in a league full of large tall lanky goalies who all have the Patrick Roy size and shape as opposed to the Ron Tugnutt, Dominik Hasek or Grant Fuhr size. It is fairly common for an NHL goalie to be 6'2" to 6'4".
But Gus "The Monster" when he is at his best is not only a Monster in size but also attitude.
With this attitude he is a very aggressive goalie who wants the puck. He is very agile and can cover the entire bottom of the net with his legs.
He often kicks out his leg and does "The Monster Slide" using the six-foot leg span and then bending and snatching the puck, allowing him to manufacture unbelievable saves.
Gus is more like a Tim Thomas in that respect than a James Reimer. Reimes is a goalie that is in the right place at the right time. It's almost a bit baffling to watch him. He leans towards a Roy-like style where he is dropping and blocking and blocking and blocking with what seems to be very little movement.
Gus needs to be aggressive at the top of the circle knowing that he can do "The Monster Slide" and stop the puck and recover. If you watch Tim Thomas he literally never gives up on a puck. Long after the rebound of the rebound should have gone in Thomas is still fighting his way to stop puck after puck and it makes him the No. 1 goalie in the NHL.
Save percentages for the top 30 goalies have gone up 10 points in the last 10 years. The top 30 goalies used to be roughly between .895 and .920, but now for the last five years the top 30 have been between .905 and .930. The modern goalie is stopping more pucks.
Winning teams now have backup goalies with statistics that would have made them starting goalies 10 years ago. But with NHL parity there are very few teams where you can put in a significantly weaker goalie and expect to win the game. If you give up four goals expect to lose, two goals and expect to win. But with the faster game more shots are coming faster and harder. The margin between winning and losing is smaller and smaller.
Cory Schneider from the Vancouver Canucks had slightly better stats than Roberto Luongo and it is predictable that Vancouver could finish first. Goaltending should be like it is over at the Washington Capitals where the coach Bruce Boudreau isn't sure who he might start on a nightly basis.
Last year in the Western Conference there were 10 teams still unsure of their playoff standing with two weeks left to go. There wasn't a game being played anywhere in the NHL where you wanted to put in the weaker goalie.
Now back to Toronto. Gus dropped 15 points overall to .890 last year which means he let in 1.5 more goals per 100 shots. Or last year with 600 shots about nine more goals which adds up to three to four more wins, which means six to eight more points, and the Leafs make the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Gus alone did not lose the chance to make the playoffs but for any NHL team to make the playoffs they need to have a near starting goalie as a backup. Gus will need to return to his "Monster" form to have a legitimate shot at the playoffs. If he is playing at a save percentage of .910 that would be 25 saves more per 1,000 shots, and that means winning 12 more games. Those 12 games will be critical to making the playoffs.
Jonas Gustavsson can definitely be that super goalie backup guy as long as he plays with his "Monster" style and aggressiveness. Toronto needs Gus to come out and compete for the starting job every day, and make Ron Wilson have as difficult a choice as Bruce Boudreau every night.
