Clint Acts His Age
The lion roared in Venice last night, when Clint Eastwood accepted a Golden Lion Lifetime Achievement award at the Venice Film Festival. The star, 70, used the opportunity to state his thoughts about Hollywood's current infatuation with kids and youth-oriented pictures. By contrast, Eastwood's current "Space Cowboys," which he produced, directed and stars in, is a summer hit, despite the fact that the cumulative age of its top four names -- Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, James Garner and Tommy Lee Jones -- is close to 250. "Ageism is the buzzword," the crowd was told by Eastwood, referring to an industry that is "generally enamored with the teeny-bopper movie." Hollywood, he added, "is a very faddist community" and lacks new imagination. But he won't pander, he said. "You get a little older, and they want you to play roles 20 years younger . . . They want you to play a 40-year-old guy, (and) you don't want to play a 40-year-old guy anymore."

Top 10 African Grey Parrot Question #2What should my African grey parrot eat?Proper nutrition is found in balance. Your African grey parrot's diet should consist of a selection of grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a base of a formulated food (pellets). Pet African grey parrot lifestyles differ greatly from wild African grey parrots, so some people say owners need not try to duplicate this diet, such as by giving their pet African greys palm oil because African grey parrots in the wild eat roots of the African oil palm. Talk to your avian veterinarian about the proper diet for your African grey parrot.

Top 10 African Grey Parrot Question #4What kind of pet bird cage should I get for my African grey parrot?As with all pet birds, the bigger the pet bird cage, the better. A 3-feet by 2-feet by 4-feet pet bird cage with 3/4- to1-inch bar spacing is good for African grey parrots — some experts recommend 3/4 inch spacing for a timneh African grey parrot. Horizontally oriented bars in the pet bird cage can allow African grey parrots to climb on the sides. Experts recommend a large door because some African greys can be fearful or reluctant of coming in or out of a pet bird cage. Some veterinarians suggest a pet bird cage that is wider than it is tall because falls from great heights can be particularly damaging to African grey parrots.
Top 10 African Grey Parrot Question #5What kind of pet bird cage accessories and pet bird toys should I get my African grey parrot?African grey parrots develop stability and confidence when they have things to do, including playing with pet bird toys. Destructible toys and perches, foraging activities and exercise opportunities all keep your pet African grey parrot happy and well-adjusted. Another way to enrich your African grey parrot's life is to provide it with the kind of drenching showers it's used to in the wild. In the home setting, you can recreate this by misting your pet bird. Your pet African grey might not like taking a bath at first, but there are many tips to teaching it to like to bathe.

Top 10 African Grey Parrot Question #6How can I tell if my African grey parrot is sick?African grey parrots are susceptible to a few particular illnesses. Feather color changes in your African grey parrot could indicate damaged feather follicles from:

Top 10 African Grey Parrot Question #8How do I tell if my African grey parrot is male or female?You can distinguish between the sexes with a few subtle visual clues, but the best way to determine the sex of your pet African grey parrot is through a DNA test. Visible indicators appear on older (more than 18 months) African greys and include differences in the eyes and under-tail coverts (directly under the tail feathers). Female African grey feathers will have gray edges and males will have solid red feathers with occasional white hairline edges.

Top 10 African Grey Parrot Question #10I've heard African grey parrots are more prone to feather picking. Is that true?African grey parrots have been known to feather pick; however, some environmental and behavioral precautions can prevent this condition. Experts recommend giving African greys quiet time and opportunities to get away by making a corner of your African grey's pet bird cage private. As always, a pet bird cage stocked with toys and things to do will keep an African grey happy. Some over-the-counter bird medication can also help prevent feather picking.

Island Information
Anne of Green Gables - Quick FactsA Children's Classic with Worldwide Appeal
- Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success when it was first published in 1908. It sold nineteen thousand copies in the first five months.
- It went into ten printings in its first year and was translated into Swedish as early as 1909.
- It has since been translated into more than a dozen languages.
- It is believed that more than 50 million copies have been sold worldwide.
- The term "Anne of Green Gables" is currently a registered trademark, owned jointly by the Province of Prince Edward Island and the heirs of L.M. Montgomery. Producers of Anne-related products outside of PEI pay a royalty to the family while Island producers make Anne items royalty free.
- First staged at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown in 1965 as part of the inaugural Charlottetown Festival, Anne of Green Gables-The Musical™ is the longest running musical in Canada and possibly in the world.
- About 3.3-million people world-wide have seen the musical – in Charlottetown and other Canadian cities, as well New York, London (England), and Japan. In Charlottetown alone, over 2.1-million people have seen the show (from 1965 to the end of the 2003 production run.)
- Thirteen Canadian actors have performed the lead role of Anne Shirley since 1965.
- Based on L.M. Montgomery's novel Anne of Green Gables, first published in 1908, the musical was written and composed by Don Harron and Norman Campbell respectively, with lyrics by Elaine Campbell and Mavor Moore.
- On Canada Day 1999, the Dominion Institute and the Council for Canadian Unity held two Internet surveys (one in English and one in French) asking people to nominate their favourite Canadian heroes; L.M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, was voted one of the top twenty heroes of the Twentieth Century.
- Anne of Green Gables and other works by Montgomery have been adapted for stage plays, radio dramas, musicals, movies, television miniseries and movies, and into an interactive CD-ROM.
- CBC's Road to Avonlea (based on Montgomery's stories) held the record as the most-watched Canadian TV series averaging 1.97 million viewers in the 1989-90 season. (Surpassed by Canadian Idol in 2003).
- Over a quarter of a million people visit the Green Gables site in Prince Edward Island National Park in Cavendish each year.
- In Japan, Montgomery became part of the school curriculum in 1952. In 1939, when New Brunswick missionary, Miss Shaw, left Japan, she gave to her friend Hanako Muraoka her prized copy of Anne of Green Gables. Secretly, the respected Japanese translator rendered Montgomery's text into Japanese, Akage No Anne (Anne of the Red Hair). When the Second World War ended and officials were looking for uplifting Western literature for the schools, Muraoka brought out her translation of Anne. Ever since, Anne has been a part of Japanese culture, with her exotic red hair and comic outspokenness. Yuko Izawa's recently published bibliography of editions gives some idea of the continuing popularity of Montgomery in Japan (see Credits under Works Cited). Today, there is an Anne Academy in Japan; there are national fan clubs; one nursing school is nicknamed "The Green Gables School of Nursing" and is sister school with the University of Prince Edward Island's School of Nursing. Thousands of Japanese come to Prince Edward Island every year as visitors to Anne country and the Land of Green Gables. When the National Park house called Green Gables caught fire in May 1997, the Japanese responded immediately by sending money to restore and repair the building. Dozens of glossy Japanese magazines have devoted whole issues to photographs of Island scenery and crafts and of course to the sites devoted to Montgomery and her works.
- In Poland, Montgomery was something of a hero in war time and later, becoming part of a thriving black market trade for the Polish resistance. Polish soldiers were issued copies of a Montgomery novel to take to the front with them in the Second World War. The Blue Castle was made into a musical in Cracow in the 1980's and its performances were sold out. Today, there is a new L.M. Montgomery School in Warsaw.
- Montgomery's work introduces many readers to Canada. For example, as a child immigrant from China, Her Excellency, Adrienne Clarkson, the Governor General of Canada, understood Canadian customs and culture through reading Montgomery's novels. In 2000, Her Excellency became the official Patron of the L.M. Montgomery Institute at the University of Prince Edward Island.
- Every two years the L.M. Montgomery Institute at UPEI hosts an international academic conference concerning Montgomery's life, works, culture, and influence. Participants and presenters have come from Australia, Canada, China, England, Ireland, Israel, Scotland, Sweden, Japan, and the United States. Montgomery scholarship is undertaken in countries around the world.
- Korean Broadcasting System (the national network) has just aired a one-hour program on Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables. The broadcast is tied to the publication by the network of more than a dozen of Montgomery's Anne novels as well as a promotion whereby 20 Koreans will win a trip to Prince Edward Island in Canada in May.
- Montgomery saw the coming of the telephone, inexpensive Victrolas, wireless radios, cars, airplanes, motorized tractors, silent films and talking movies; she lived through the First World War and the beginning of the Second. Her views--about culture and about women--changed with those of her times. Her own portraits of women grew sharper in some details--even Anne and Emily are worlds apart in their ambitions and in their resentment over the customary dismissal of women who write. The five published volumes of her journals reveal much about the complex woman behind the novels.
- Readers of Nikkei Woman Magazine in Japan recently rated Anne of Green Gables as their number one favourite pick in the category of "My Favourite Book."

The freight rail network has been a bright spot in a troubled economy.
That's because freight railroads, unlike trucks, airlines or barges, have been using private capital to invest in the rail network and facilities in Blair County and around the country.
Even through the recession, railroads such as Norfolk Southern have stayed committed to the providing safe, reliable, efficient and affordable service, employing people in well-paying jobs that support families and communities.
President Barack Obama has urged businesses to get off the sidelines and begin hiring and spending private capital.
Freight rail companies have been investing and have a 30-year track record to prove it. Since 1980, freight rail industry has invested $480 billion to maintain and modernize the nation's rail network.
Looking ahead, these investments are not slowing down.
In 2011, freight railroads plan to spend a record $12 billion in their own funds on capital expenditures - on things like upgrading tracks, new fuel efficient locomotives and new intermodal facilities.
Railroads also have been investing in people. As traffic continued to return in 2010, they brought workers back and hired to meet the needs of shippers. At the end of 2010, railroad employment was up roughly 5.2 percent, bringing total employment at the nation's freight railroads to 175,000.
Railroads plan to hire more workers this year, as rail traffic continues to recover. The major U.S. railroads estimate they will hire close to 10,000 workers in 2011 to address retirements and attrition and to meet increased demand for transportation services.
Pending retirements also likely will stoke a hiring wave over the next several years.
According to the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board, more than 67,000 railroad employees, or roughly 30 percent of the total workforce, will be eligible to retire in the next five years.
All of this signals good news, as railroad employees are among America's most highly compensated workers.
According to the most recent U.S. government data, the average full-time rail worker in 2009 earned wages of $81,563 and benefits of $25,522 for a total average compensation of $107,085. That compares with the average U.S. employee who in 2009 saw average total compensation of $64,552.
The need for rail investment is going to grow. Today, American requires the movement of 40 tons of freight each year.
The Federal Railroad Administration said that in the next 25 years, as population levels increase, the rail network will be required to accommodate 400 million additional tons of freight and 600 million more tons over the next 40 years.
What's more, two of the administration's policy goals are tied to a healthy freight rail industry continuing record investment.
One is the goal to double American exports, which will require freight rail to transport even more goods. The other is improving intercity- and high-speed passenger rail service.
While there are many possibilities for, and great expectations of, the rail industry, some in Washington, D.C., are pursuing changes to the regulations that have allowed the industry to flourish.
Faced with huge revenue curbs if these changes are approved, spending on rail infrastructure and equipment could fall dramatically.
There is hope that common sense will prevail in Washington.
Speaking before business leaders, Obama earlier this year called for scrapping rules that inhibit job growth, vowing to remove rules on the books that are stifling job creation and economic growth.
This reasonable approach to regulation, with an eye on how it impacts business and jobs back home, is the right direction for America. Now is the time to revisit regulations that stand in the way of reaching our goals, while preserving those that help enable economic growth - like those that have brought forth a healthy and vibrant American freight rail industry.

The Vektor SS-77 is a general-purpose machine gun designed and manufactured by Denel Land Systems—formerly Lyttleton Engineering Works (LIW)—of South Africa.
In the late 1970s, South Africa was involved in an international controversy over apartheid and the South African Border War in Angola. As a result, it was subject to an international arms embargo and had to, out of necessity, design and manufacture its own weapons.[1] The SS-77 was developed to replace the FN MAG. It was designed in 1977 by Richard Joseph Smith and Lazlo Soregi, hence the name "SS-77". "SS" for Smith and Soregi, "77" for 1977, the year it was designed.[1]
In the early 1990s, a light machine gun version, the Mini-SS, chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO was introduced. LIW also manufactured kits to convert existing SS-77 to the Mini-SS. Changes include the weight decrease from 9.6 to 8.26 kg (21 lb 3 oz to 18 lb 3 oz) with a folding bipod and fixed butt.[2]

On September 23, 2013, Microsoft unveiled the next generation of Surface tablets. The improvements for teaching and learning make the Surface 2 even better for education.
Surface 2 takes full advantage of a lot of new changes in hardware, advancements in industrial design, and the forthcoming Windows RT 8.1 update. Pre-orders for Surface 2 start September 24, 2013, 8AM ET with availability October 22, 2013.
Three Reasons Why Surface 2 is Better for Learning
1. Built for Outstanding Display of Text and Rich Media
I want to start with the display for Surface 2. It is a full HD ClearType Display with 1920×1080 resolution on a 10.6″ diagonal screen. That gives Surface 2 just over 200 pixels per inch. I have written before about why pixels matter for education, you can read that article here. Put simply, this means that screen readability is significantly improved on Surface 2.
Additionally, the Surface design team has focused on ensuring that the new display has strong color resolution and contrast controls so that images pop to life and screen glare is reduced at normal viewing angles. If you add the advances that come with Windows Internet Explorer 11 to this equation, you have the best device for watching video, 3D animation, reading long form text, and viewing high-definition photography on one device. For me, that is reason enough to get and use Surface 2 as principle learning device. It is easier on the eyes.
2. Built for Anywhere, Anytime Learning
The cameras and microphones on Surface 2 have been improved to meet the high standards set by the Skype team for video calling and group conferencing (Skype and Lync are now one team.) This provides high quality HD conferencing in a variety of lighting conditions.
Beyond the hardware, Surface 2 lights up with free Skype landline calling and Skype Wi-Fi. Skype Wi-Fi is available from millions of hotspots. Students can connect to school, classes, or classmates from millions of hotspots using the Skype Wi-Fi service…for free! You can get additional details at http://www.skype.com/surface
3. Built for Productivity with Modern Office
The Windows team heard the feedback on Windows RT. With Windows RT 8.1, Outlook 2013 joins the Office 2013 RT family to provide a full, modern Office experience. With Office Web Apps, students and teachers can work online through any web browser. With Office 2013 RT, students and teachers can be productive without an Internet connection. You can get additional details on Office 2013 RT at http://office.com/officeRT
Productivity does not end with Office 2013 RT. The Surface design team have made several improvements in the Touch Covers and Type Covers to increase sensitivity for improved responsiveness when keyboarding. No more missed keys or loud typing. Students and teachers can quickly and quietly take notes while participating in online conferencing without muting the microphone. Additionally, with the ten hours battery life, Surface 2 keeps you productive without looking for a power supply.
The original Surface RT will remain available. Currently, education customers can take advantage of the $199 special pricing promotion for Surface RT through September 30, 2013.
Surface 2 will retail for $449. Currently, there is no announcement of special pricing for academic institutions. With all of the bonus services added to Surface 2, it makes a really compelling education device for the connected learner and the modern educator.
There are more incredible announcements with SkyDrive; the build quality and durability of Surface 2, new security features, and new Surface exclusive experiences. I cannot cover them all here in one sitting. So I want you to visit the official Surface site and see for yourself, www.surface.com.

Cardinal Stritch claims first national basketball title
Cardinal Stritch won its first ever national championship Tuesday, earning a 73-59 win over top-seed William Penn (Iowa) in the championship game of the 2013 NAIA Division II Men's National Basketball Championship.
Riding a 21-point, 7-rebound performance behind championship most valuable player Darren Moore, Stritch went on an 8-0 run to go up 45-36 with just under 15-minutes to go in the first half.
Moore scored the final basket of the first half to put his team up 39-36 at the break and then began the second half with four of the Wolves first six points.
Similar to its semifinal win over Indiana University Southeast, Cardinal Stritch stepped up its defense in the second half by holding William Penn scoreless for the first six minutes.
William Penn closed the gap later in the second half, and the game remained close until the final minutes of play.
Cardinal Stritch led by four with nine minutes remaining, then extended their lead to nine. At the four-minute mark, CSU led 61-49.
William Penn cut the lead to within six points, but did not pull any closer. CSU scored the game's final eight points.
Stritch shot 50 percent from the field. Mike Simpson scored 13 points from the bench, and Jeremy D'Amico scored 12.

SUMMARY:by Lynne Lederman, PhD
Dr. Griepp discussed the establishment of the International Staging System (ISS) for myeloma. The system classifies myeloma into three stages based on serum beta-2-microglobulin and albumin levels. The stages correlate with risk and survival. Serum albumin may be measured by protein electrophoresis (PEL) or by chemical tests. M-spikes, especially over 25 g/L, appear to increase albumin levels measured by PEL, whereas chemical tests (e.g., bromcresol green or bromcresol purple) measure albumin and other proteins such as gamma globulin, but is not affected by an M-spike; results can be adjusted to compensate. Other methods for albumin measurement include immunonephelometry, the gold standard for measurement in cerebral spinal fluid, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), which may be used more in the future. However, overall, differences in measurement and therefore staging had no impact on survival curves in a study of a large group of patients. The use of PEL may avoid having to do an additional test. Either PEL or chemical methods of determining serum albumin levels may be used for staging, and publications of trial results should specify which method was used. Dr. Barlogie commented that clinicians should be consistent with the type of test used for individual patients and within a clinical trial.

According to police, the 10-year-old was walking to a neighbor's house Sunday, when the pit bull broke free from its chain and bit the child.
The 10-year-old tried to run, but the dog bit it two more times, leaving puncture wounds.
Police are investigating whether the dog's owner should face charges.

In the late 1880s, the Sioux named Ohiyesa ("the Winner") left Red Deer Valley and his tribe to learn more about the world of the white man. His expert skills at tracking and handling a gun enabled him to win a job as deputy sheriff. While still a deputy, Ohiyesa was given the name "Pow-Wow Smith" by some townspeople, a name he used when among the white men. Once he became sheriff, Pow-Wow spent most of his time living in Elkhorn, only rarely returning to Red Deer Valley. He had a fiancee (later wife) name Fleetfoot, a twin brother called Horse Hunter, and a deputy named Hank Brown. His most recurring enemy was Tony Morley, the Fadeaway Outlaw. Pow-Wow Smith's exploits eventually earned him an honorary US citizenship.
In modern times, Ohiyesa had two descendants carrying on his legacy. (See Pow-Wow Smith II-III.)
[Note: Originally, Pow-Wow Smith's adventures took place in the 1940s-50s, but were then transferred to the 19th century. Eventually, it was decided that the 1940s version was the descendant of the 1880s version.]

Huong Hoang, the actress who sued Amazon and its internet movie database, IMDB, revealed her real name.
The judge threw out her lawsuit which was filed earlier, saying she had no basis for suing, if she did not publicly disclose her true name. Junie Hoang is her stage name, which she used to act in "Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver" and "Hoodrats 2: Hoodrat Warriors."
Why didn't Junie Hoang want Amazon or IMDB to disclose her vtrue age? Hoang said she was getting along in years and the diusclosure ruined her chances of getting more work. Hoang claimed Amazon destroyed her movie career by revealing her secret age. In December 2011, her lawsuit was dismissed in Seattle. On Friday, Jan 6, 2012, Hoang decided she wanted compensation more than preserving her true identity so she refiled her lawsuit.
Some people wonder if Junie Hoang gained more by drawing attention to herself. Her lawsuit has disclosed her secret. She probably would get more film roles, and more money, after getting more famous.

"Open Air" is a massive outdoor public-art project in which 24 searchlights placed around the Ben Franklin Parkway create light-based patterns that are visible from up to 10 miles away. The patterns are based on the frequency and amplitude of messages provided by, well, you - and the whole thing will camp out on the Parkway every day from 8 to 11 p.m. Thursday to Oct. 14.

Card Games: Trump Group
These are plain trick games in which a small number of cards (often five) is dealt, there is a trump suit, and the objective is to win tricks. I have called this the "trump group" because one of the earliest games of this type is called Triomphe, the word from which "trump" is derived.
- The two-player game Écarté was fashionable in France in the 19th century, but is seldom played nowadays.
- Watten is a five card game from Bavaria with a trump rank as well as a trump suit.
There are several subgroups, distinguished by a particular card order, or some other special feature:
- The Rams group, in which players can drop out, and if you stay in and fail to take a trick you pay a penalty.
- The Spoil Five Group, in which there are are some special top trumps that can renege, and the black suit numerals rank in reverse order.
- The Euchre Group in which the trump jack and the other jack of the same colour are high.
- The Karnöffel group is a very old group of games in which the trumps are only partly effective, and the card order in the trump suit is highly disturbed.
Some of the more recent trump games have bidding to determine the number of tricks to be taken:

BRIDGETON —To pass through the shadows of the past is to gain a glimpse of the future.
Some local history buffs proved that at Saturday's Cohansey RiverFest, during a tour of historic downtown sites. A short stroll revealed a centuries-long timeline and a view of plans for a tourist destination.
Jonathan Wood of the Cumberland County Historical Society, Flavia Alaya, chairperson for the Bridgeton Historic District Commission, and Hopewell Township Deputy Mayor Paul Ritter III narrated for a small tour group that day.
Fittingly, the journey began in front of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape cultural center on Commerce Street. The cultural center, along with a yearly Pow-wow at the Salem County Fairgrounds and other appearances by tribe members, attests to the ancient culture's still-prominent role here.
Alaya and Wood noted that the local Lenni-Lenape intermarried with Colonial and later Caucasian newcomers, and with blacks. White settlers who bought land in the area from the natives did so with the understanding that the Lenape would be allowed to keep hunting and fishing there even after the purchase.
Those and other examples of intercultural harmony were partly the doing of the pacifist Quakers and their peaceful Lenape hosts. It's reflected in so many current county residents with a combination of Native American, African and European roots.
But harmony with the Cohansey River was - and perhaps still is - just as important in building the city shaped by it.
That meant connecting the east and west banks in Colonial days with a rickety wooden bridge. It allowed the town originally known as Cohansey Bridge to become a main stop on the stagecoach route between Philadelphia and the South Jersey coast.
The current bridge is on the same site as the original, only higher above the water.
In time, river transport and the industrial age would change the face of the town-turned-city. But officials now hope to partly revert to the Cohansey's natural charms to help draw eco and agri-tourists.
Just before the bridge, on the river's east bank, sits the entrance to the city park on Mayor Aitken Drive. The park's current greenery, shade and rippling, meandering streams show almost a complete reversal from what once stood there.
"This was not a beautiful area at all," Wood said of the site long before it became an oasis of sorts larger than New York City's Central Park.
It was the site of the Cumberland Nail and Iron Works in the 19th century days of heavy domestic industry.
At the entrance to the present park, there once stood a huge metal gate, Wood said. It would seem like an almost Gothic portal to the soot, smoke, sweat and mean noise of ceaseless Victorian industry.
The Nail and Iron Works and many other local mechanized behemoths took up swaths of the riverfront in those days and spewed black smoke day after day into the sky. But the city thrived on them for generations.
Also near the park entrance sits the Nail and Iron Works counting house, now the Nail House Museum.
Preservationists are now studying how best to interpret and present the small, "T"-shaped Nail House. Inside, glass display cases are for now empty, as artifacts from the old plant are kept elsewhere.
Some photos from the days of the plant, old maps of the site and other displays were already there. Workers had been repainting the inside walls and ceiling.
Local preservationists, Alaya included, hope the Nail House Museum as a historic site can also complement local eco-tourism because of its closeness to the Cohansey.
Only steps away from the park entrance and Nail House sits the David Sheppard House, which hasn't changed all that much since it was built in 1791, except in its use.
The mansion served as the Sheppard home for a few generations and later became Ivy Hall, a training school for young women who hoped to become teachers.
Ivy Hall stood with the West Jersey Academy and South Jersey Institute as "major schools" in the area, Alaya said. "The best families sent their sons to them.
"Bridgeton High School was also once very distinguished in its own time."
In keeping with an educational legacy, she added, the Sheppard House is now home to the local Rutgers University Cousteau Center, which serves estuary research and education programs.
A walk across Commerce and down Franklin Street to Route 49 takes one through only a small portion of the many Victorian, Federal and other style homes that help make up the largest historic district in New Jersey.
On the north side of Route 49 sits Potter's Tavern, known as Bridgeton's Independence Hall. There local patriots helped stoke the flames of Revolution and late in 1775 they published The Plain Dealer, which called for independence from Great Britain.
The Cumberland Insurance Group, of which Ritter is President and CEO, was also founded at the tavern in 1844. Ritter pointed out that his company is New Jersey's second oldest still in existence.
Ritter has never been a stranger to the business world. His family owned P.J. Ritter Co. on Water Street for the better part of six decades.
The company produced ketchup, tomato juice, pork and beans and other foods. Ritter explained some of the natural surroundings that made tomato - and ketchup - production so viable here.
"Because of the climate, the bay and the sandy soil, tomatoes really thrived here," he said.
The same soils aided in glass production, also once a major South Jersey industry.

With this issue, we warmly welcome the members of the Dutch Association for Pediatric Physical Therapy as subscribers to Pediatric Physical Therapy.
According to Janjaap van der Net, PT, PhD, PCS, the President, the Association is celebrating its 25th anniversary. The Dutch Association for Pediatric Physical Therapy is an association with approximately 1100 members. Dr van der Net noted that the Association's policy is to support the scientific development of its members. Currently, pediatric physiotherapists in the Netherlands are qualified and registered as pediatric physiotherapists after a 2-year training program on an advanced master's degree level after completing a BSc (and in the near future an MSc in physical therapy). This development has resulted in pediatric physical therapists following evidence-based practice rules and focusing on the body of knowledge in the scientific literature. Dr. van der Net indicated that the digital subscriptions to Pediatric Physical Therapy represent the next step in facilitating access to a broad range of relevant topics in pediatric physical therapy for our members.
I can think of no better issue with which to welcome our Dutch colleagues, as this issue represents an international fest of articles originating in Norway, Denmark, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This fest is occurring through the good graces of serendipity as this array of articles is the line up of the most recently accepted work submitted to the journal.
Clearly, our electronic communication systems that link us closely together are a wonderful gift that we increasingly take for granted. To be able to communicate almost instantaneously with colleagues throughout the world is foundational to the improvement of our profession and to the ongoing development of our journal. I benefit from that ease of communication and routinely call on colleagues around the world to participate as reviewers for Pediatric Physical Therapy. Among those colleagues, quite notably, is esteemed colleague Dr Paul Helders from Utrecht in the Netherlands who serves on our Editorial Board. We are united in our desire to foster practice using the best evidence available regarding our interventions. This journal provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and facilitation of evidence-based practice.
We congratulate the Dutch Association on its 25th anniversary and once again welcome our Dutch colleagues. We recognize their high level contributions to this journal and look forward to continue professional collaboration to foster the development of our clinical science.

Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine took the state GOP to task the other day for dropping the ball on property tax reform. He quoted Assemblyman Rick Merkt, a Morris County Republican who lost in the primary to Chris Christie:
As it stands now, Morris County residents pay a lot more taxes into the fund than urban residents, says Merkt, so they should get back at least an equal amount per pupil.
"What is grossly unfair about the current system is that not only is the revenue-raising system progressive but also the distribution system is progressive," said Merkt. "The suburbs get it in the neck twice."
Indeed they do, and it's worse than even Merkt makes it out to be. Just for the fun of it, I compared the Newark school district to the Morris school district, which includes Morristown, Morris Township and Morris Plains. The residents of both districts contribute to the property-tax relief fund a roughly equal amount in taxes. But Newark gets back almost a hundred times as much in school aid — $787 million a year versus a mere $8.6 million for Morris.

I wanted it the moment I saw it. It's a great box, and with the monogram, looks wonderful. I bought two. One for myself and one as a gift. It holds the current pens that I use, miscellaneous things that I am constantly reaching for. It also has storage beneath the shelf for other things as well. It's already proven to be quite useful!One note: I wish there were a better way to raise the little shelf. I may have to add a little ribbon to grab hold of.

Economic Freedom and the Motivation to Engage in Entrepreneurial Action

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Vol. 32, Issue 5, pp. 875-895, September 2008
Using institutional theory, the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal 2003 Index of Economic Freedom, and the 2002 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, we regress opportunity-motivated entrepreneurial activity (OME) and necessity-motivated entrepreneurial activity (NME) on 10 factors of economic freedom and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for 37 nations. We find that both OME and NME are negatively associated with GDP per capita and positively associated with labor freedom, but that various other factors of economic freedom are uniquely related to either OME or NME. Specifically, we find that OME, but not NME, is positively associated with property rights, while NME, but not OME, is positively associated with fiscal freedom and monetary freedom. Thus, governmental restrictions of economic freedom appear to impact entrepreneurial activity differently depending on the particular freedom restricted by government and the entrepreneur's motive for engaging in entrepreneurial action.

The WB (Fridays, 8 p.m. ET)
Show of the week
The theme song by Barenaked Ladies is "It's All Been Done"—appropriate for a series that's hardly a trailblazer in animated family comedy. But Baby Blues, based on the syndicated comic strip, puts a few surprisingly funny twists on ordinary domestic complaints and situations. Think of the show (premiering July 28 with two half-hour episodes) as a Family Guy that's not quite so rude.
Mike O'Malley, who bombed last year in an NBC sitcom (and has another on tap for CBS this fall), is more amusing here as the voice of Darryl, a white-collar guy with a baby daughter and a prominently oblong nose. Barely coping with new parenthood, Darryl and wife Wanda (Julia Sweeney) don't know exactly what to make of the disorderly brood next door: Carl (Joel Murray), a hairy-armed conspiracy buff; his wife, Melinda (Arabella Field); their 8-year-old son Rodney (Kath Soucie, heard on Rugrats), an alarmingly confident troublemaker; and two smaller offspring. Sometimes Baby Blues goes too wild (e.g., Carl gets trapped in a missile silo), but when Wanda bristles at being called a future "soccer mom," you know this cartoon is in touch with reality.
Bottom Line: Baby could develop

Tuckahoe YMCA receives $7k donation from Kiwanis Club
Citizen Staff Reports 11/26/12
The Tuckahoe Family YMCA recently received a $7,000 donation from the Tuckahoe Kiwanis Club. The money was raised during the group's eighth annual golf tournament and will help the Y continue its programs for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
The donation is the organization's way of giving back to the community it serves, Kiwanis Club of Tuckahoe Tournament Director Bland Weaver said.
"We think the Y does a great job for the youth of the area as well as all age groups. We've been supporting them for a long time and we hope to continue to do so," Weaver said. Tuckahoe Family YMCA Group Vice President Mary Gentry Roberts received the money on behalf of the Y and said the donation would help support the Y's mission of creating programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
"We couldn't continue to do what we do without organizations like Kiwanis," she said. "This money will help us continue our promise to the community so that we will not turn anyone away for inability to pay so this will go to our financial assistance program at the Tuckahoe Family YMCA."

Gannon's 'Romeo and Juliet' streamlined, poignant
'Romeo and Juliet," one of William Shakespeare's most well-known works, continues to move audiences with its portrayal of young love in the face of family-fueled hatred. This year's Shakespeare Summer Nights production of the celebrated tragedy streamlines the story, bringing the young lovers into sharp focus as well as accentuating the characteristics of their closest companions.
The Rev. Shawn Clerkin adapted and directed this hour-and-a-half-long edition of the tale, which features minimal props and costumes. Its most notable deviation from traditional productions lies in the fact that the cast has only four performers, with Evan O'Polka and Rebecca Coleman playing every character aside from the title duo. While some characters are cut out, that still leaves Coleman to portray four characters and O'Polka to play eight.
Both Coleman and O'Polka have two primary roles among the many, however. Coleman portrays both Juliet's saucy and over-the-top but faithful nurse and the gentle, sympathetic Friar Laurence, while O'Polka is amusingly eloquent as Romeo's snarky friend Mercutio and emotionally varied as Juliet's hotheaded father. Along with bearing, inflection and context, a piece of cloth worn in different ways helps to distinguish one character from another, though identifying minor characters can still be tricky.
Erika Krenn radiates exuberant innocence throughout much of the play, matching Conor Grey's rapturous exclamations with her starry-eyed gazes. Both of them exude the passion of a youthful love that springs up suddenly and obliterates thoughts of all else. Through their interactions with their more seasoned friends, the audience is permitted to laugh at the heights of silliness to which they rise, but there is also something admirable in the ferocity of their affections.
The brisk pace is a good fit for a play in which life changes so drastically for so many people in a matter of days. The tragedy exposes the danger in acting too hastily and also in paying heed to old grudges with unremembered origins. Nonetheless, in the midst of all the bad timing and poor impulses, "Romeo and Juliet" celebrates the wonder of youthful devotion, which this production captures impeccably.
"Romeo and Juliet" is presented on July 23-24 at 7 p.m. at Gannon University's Schuster Theatre, 620 Sassafras St. Both performances are free and open to the public.

"I have been addicted to it and it's ultimately related to anxiety coping and it's a form of self-medication and I was smoking up to 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco," she said on Elvis Duran and The Z100 Morning Show.

But "Aura," the zigzagging opener, is as larger-than-life as the singer's persona, and the rest of her third proper studio album only goes further to show that she has crafted a pop image – as a walking, breathing piece of art – that goes far beyond the music.

Inhibitors of hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase are widely used to treat hypercholesterolemia. They have a good short- to medium-term safety profile, but long-term safety data are limited.
Seven hundred forty-five patients with severe hypercholesterolemia (mean baseline plasma cholesterol level on diet, 9.3 mmol/L [360 mg/dL]) were treated with lovastatin for a median duration of 5.2 years. Their mean age at baseline was 50 years, 68% were male, 60% had familial hypercholesterolemia, and 42% had a history of coronary heart disease. Seventy-seven percent of patients had titrations of lovastatin to 80 mg/d, and 58% took other lipid-lowering agents, usually bile acid sequestrants, concomitantly.
The mean changes at 5 years in total, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were -35%, -44%, and +14%, respectively. Eighty percent of patients completed the study, 13% were unavailable for follow-up, 4% were discontinued due to adverse events unlikely to be related to lovastatin, and 3% (21) were discontinued because of drug-attributable adverse events: marked but asymptomatic increase in aminotransferase values (10 patients), gastrointestinal disturbance (three patients), rash (two patients), myalgia (one patient), myopathy (two patients), arthralgia (one patient), insomnia (one patient), and weight gain (one patient). Sixteen patients died during the study, all of coronary disease. Of these, 14 had coronary heart disease at baseline. There were no deaths attributable to trauma, suicide, or homicide, and there were only 14cases of cancer (vs 21 expected). There was no evidence for an adverse effect on the lens.
Lovastatin is a generally well-tolerated and effective drug during long-term use.(Arch Intern Med. 1993;153:1079-1087)

RALEIGH – North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory joined more than 170 Campbell University alumni who gathered at the Governor's Mansion in Raleigh on April 16 to mark the first official Campbell University Wake County Alumni Chapter event in over 30 years.
It was the first ever alumni gathering in the Governor's Mansion.
"Campbell University is a special place," Gov. McCrory told the gathered crowd. "I remember basketball camps at Campbell, but I like what you've done with your law school in Raleigh and the new medical school. I'm just amazed, and that's coming from a proud Catawba College grad."
The evening opened with a reception in the public area of the mansion. Guests networked, shared old times and caught up with old friends in the first floor hall, ballroom, dining room and parlors. Campbell alumni toured the floor, took pictures and sampled hors d'oeuvres made from scratch in the mansion's kitchen and bakery. Lee Ann Spahr ('77) and Angela Daniels Millenbaugh ('98) also performed for the group in the ballroom. Spahr played the piano and Millenbaugh sang the Martina McBride piece "Anyway."
The evening concluded with a business session where McCrory spoke, President Jerry Wallace spoke and the Wake County Alumni Chapter was officially launched. Addressing the standing room-only crowd of Campbell alumni, McCrory welcomed the group to the Governor's Mansion.
"Everyone here should be proud of Campbell, and North Carolina is stronger because of Campbell graduates who work across North Carolina and make vital contributions to our state," McCrory said.
A beaming President Wallace thanked McCrory and recognized the large crowd on hand.
"I'm full of Campbell pride tonight," Wallace said. "The orange and black is making a strong statement in downtown Raleigh. I'm grateful to Gov. McCrory and such a wonderful turnout of Campbell alumni."
The evening concluded with adoption of a Wake County Alumni Chapter constitution. Officers, all residents of Wake County, were also elected. A group of 15 individuals, including six officers and 10 at-large board members, were elected by attendees. Additional volunteers presented themselves after the meeting desiring to serve on the Wake County Alumni Chapter leadership team. The inaugural Wake County Alumni Chapter Board leadership includes:
According to Doug Jones, assistant vice president for Alumni Relations, Wake County is home to more than 5,500 Campbell graduates, the largest population of Campbell alumni.
"We're proud to reestablish an official alumni chapter in Wake County," Jones said. "But we look forward to creating many more local chapters in the months and years ahead. These are exciting times at Campbell and among our alumni base."
Event sponsors included Baccuhus Carver ('91, '97), the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business and the Campbell University Alumni Association.

Long story told short, Newberry College is a perfect fit for Stratford senior wrestler Nicholas Young.
Young, who won the state title at 132 pounds this past season, is headed for the Div. II wrestling power after signing a letter of intent earlier this month. He chose the Wolves over Limestone and Coker.
"I think it's going to be pretty exciting," he said. "They have a rich history and I know a lot of the coaches and wrestlers that will be there. It's not like I'm going to be lost."
Another Lowcountry state champion this past winter will also be there in Hanahan's Dennis Flores. Young said it was possible the two could be roommates.
He's also very familiar with Newberry assistant Bryant Blanton, a former all-American at Summerville High School. Blanton and Cane Bay assistant Andrew Young were instrumental in helping to develop Young at Lowcountry Wrestling Academy the last two years.
Young said he expects to compete for spots at 133 or 141 pounds.
"My goal is to break the lineup and not have to redshirt," Young said. "I feel like I have a better shot at one of those because they're closer to my weight … anything can happen."
Last season, the Wolves finished sixth in the Div. II national tournament. They routinely beat Div. I schools too.
"Newberry is a championship-caliber team," Young said. "Every year, they're always going for championships, whether its nationals or super regionals. Year in and year out they're always doing something good."
Young will graduate Saturday from SHS as one of the school's top students. He finishes with a grade-point average just a shade below 4.00.
His early plans are to major in education, opening the door for him to coach in the future and give back to a sport that's been so meaningful to him.
That stretches back to when he was six or seven. He said his brother David Carter started the fire for the sport.
"He used to wrestle with me and put me on my back when I was little," Young said. "He was like 'you need to wrestle.' I stuck with it. He's been really inspirational to me."
Andrew Young, a former wrestler at Newberry, helped get Young to the next level after his sophomore year, Nicholas said.
"He was always helping me get better," Young said. "He's given me the mindset to keep getting better and reaching for a national championship."
And at Newberry, he'll get that shot.
Young ended his Stratford career as the leader in victories (166), breaking the record of 150 formerly held by 2004 graduate Caleb Capocciama.
His 51 wins as a senior surpassed the former season record of 46. He won his last 30 matches, including 20 by way of pin.

Book Review 220: Rural Russia under the Old Regime
November 24, 2011 - Harry Eagar
RURAL RUSSIA UNDER THE OLD REGIME, By Geroid Tanquary Robinson. 342 pages, illustrated. California paperback
The more I study the history of Russia, the less I believe that the Bolshevik revolution ever happened.
Of course, a new gang of crooks took over at the top, but state policy was unchanged – both the tsars and the Bolsheviks partitioned Poland with Prussia, to give just one of many examples – and for the majority of the population who were peasants (9 in 10 in 1917), life and law went on very much as before.
This becomes obvious if G.T. Robinson's "Rural Russia under the Old Regime" is read along with Zhores Medvedev's "Soviet Agriculture." Robinson could not make this observation in "Rural Russia," written in 1931, but he did often refer to the communal heritage of the peasants – even, at one point, calling the serfs communists – while recognizing, as did Medvedev, that most (not all) would have preferred their own land.
To give a few examples of how, in practical terms, the peasant of the 1880s was oppressed in the same ways as the peasant in the 1980s, take passports. Neither serf, emancipated serf nor collective or state farm peasant could travel without a passport.
Those who did, one way or another, end up working in towns usually maintained their allotment in the village and returned to harvest, and sometimes to plow and plant, right up to the end of Bolshevism (and beyond).
One difference was that the emancipated serf often, probably, would have cut his ties to the village, if he could have; while under collective farm laws, families found it useful to maintain allotments (which meant that at least one member had to stay on the farm, usually a babushka, while the rest moved to town).
Robinson restricts his study to European Russia, in an analysis that is preponderantly legal and statistical; only secondarily social and agronomic.
He distinguishes a serf, with rights to use land, from chattel slaves, although in actual performance the differences were slight enough. Both serfs and slaves could be raped or killed without consequence, and if the serf had a legal right to a house and garden that the slave had not, the slave (at least in the American South) usually had a house and garden.
Emancipation in 1861 was largely a sham; if it had been real, there would not have been a jacquerie in the countryside in 1905-6.
The peasants were provided title to plowland but (as in the slightly earlier Great Mahele in Hawaii) not the gathering lands that were essential to rural survival. In Russia. These were forests for fuel and timber and meadowlands to support their animals.
Usually, they had to rent these lands on unfavorable terms from their former lords.
Worse than this, they had to redeem the plowlands, but prices were fixed at double what the land could produce.
The peasants, honest men unlike tsars, nobles and priests, loyally paid in what they could, but by 1905 they were in arrears to the state banks by about half. That is, they had paid as much as they possibly could have – even more, since it appears their food intake was falling in the 1890s.
The Bolsheviks also established dues the collective farms could not meet, and by the time of Khrushchev's ill-conceived reforms, most collective farms were insolvent.
As a consequence, both the Romanov state and the Bolshevik state were effectively bankrupt because they could no longer support the loans and defaults of the countryside, yet another of the many, many things that did not change despite the revolution.
The Bolsheviks treated peasants as class enemies; the tsarist government as dangerous political enemies based on many past insurrections. The motives for treating the peasants as enemies of the state were dissimilar, but the effects on the peasants were about the same.
In neither regime did the peasant get what he wanted. As Robinson trenchantly puts it, the tsarist government dealt with unrest "not by providing them the land they want, but by teaching them not to want it."
The Bolsheviks did much the same.
After 80 years, "Rural Russia under the Old Regime" retains its value as a compact summary of the complex (and varied, like the Bolsheviks, law and regulation differed greatly from place to place) situation of the Great Russian (and to a lesser extent Little Russian, White Russian, Cossack, Caucasian, Polish and other) peasantry.

I think you are mixing up things here ..
afaik samba is working over smb protocol which needs Netbios over tcp/ip
(over the 13x ports)
This is independent from the fact that you can print with direct tcp/ip
under w2k because you can define an "IP port" (or the generic name of the
printer if it is linked to the ip nr in any way, hosts or dns) as being the
taget for a specific printer. This is equivalent to what was used by HP as
jetdirect in a previous life :-)
A similar quite intransparent protocol exists on the mac where you can print
to a printer in yr local zone (and beyond?) just by scanning the LAN and
defining the printer ..
I don't think this is the "old" protocol, it just is smb protocol that's all
someone correct me if I'm wrong ..
