George Washington announced on Tuesday that Maurice Joseph has been named interim head coach for the 2016-17 season.
"I am eager and well prepared to begin this journey with the 13 student-athletes in our locker room and the tight-knit group of coaches that I will rely upon heavily," said Joseph. "It is a distinct honor to have the opportunity to be a mentor to our team in this new role. I have the utmost confidence that I will validate the trust that Provost Maltzman and Patrick Nero have placed in me, and that we will deliver a product that makes our students, alumni and fans across the globe proud of GW Basketball and the university."
Joseph has been a part of the GW coaching staff for the last five years, a full-time assistant for the last three.
He takes over for Mike Lonergan, who coached Joseph for three years at Vermont. Lonergan was fired two weeks ago stemming from an investigation into allegations of abuse.
Lonergan's other two assistants, Hajj Turner and Carmen Marciariello, both were interviewed for the position as well, according to sources. Turner had been Lonergan's associate head coach for the past five years, since Lonergan took over at GW.
"In his five years at GW, Maurice has shown himself to be selflessly dedicated to the success of our student-athletes and fully committed to our department and university," said Nero, GW's athletic director. "His leadership ability and basketball acumen will bring focus and stability to the talented team we have this year. Our team, basketball staff and athletic department are looking forward to working together for a successful season."
We figured that it wasn't enough just to simply list out who was on our All-America teams and who was our National Player of the Year, not when the decision is so wide open. Not when there are so many worthwhile candidates.
So while you can go and see the NBCSports.com Preseason All-American team here and you can read our feature story on Duke's Grayson Allen, the NBCSports.com Preseason National Player of the Year, here, you can also listen along as we try to hash out just who we wanted slotted in which spot.

Picking the Preseason National Player of the Year this season was not an easy thing to do. This year's freshman class will rival the Class of 2013 — Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, etc. — in terms of overall talent, and there are a number of newcomers entering into a situation in which they should be able to shine. Hell, there are two potential No. 1 picks and a third projected lottery pick on Duke's roster this season, and none of them are named Grayson Allen.
But the reason we picked all for this award is actually pretty simple: He's the best player on the best team in the country. Don't believe me? Think about this: As a sophomore, his first season playing consistent minutes at the collegiate level, Allen averaged 21.6 points, 4.6 boards and 3.5 assists while posting a 61.6 true shooting percentage. That hasn't been done by a high major basketball player since 1993, which is as far back as the CBB Reference database has statistics. As far as I know, it's never happened before by a player at the high major level. For comparison's sake, when Damian Lillard was a senior at Weber State, he was one of the three other players to post those stats.
And Allen did it while playing in a conference that sent six teams to the Sweet 16 and two to the Final Four last season.
You may hate him, but you cannot deny that the kid can flat out play.
RELATED: A Different Shade of Grayson
Markelle Fultz, Washington: Fultz was one of just two other guys that we truly considered for Preseason Player of the Year. He's the current favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft and, given Washington's uptempo style of play, he has a chance to post massive numbers. The biggest question mark here is whether or not the Huskies are going to be good enough to dance; to win the award on a team that's not a national title contender is hard to do. It's only happened three times in the last two decades, and all three of those winners — Doug McDermott, Jimmer Fredette and Kevin Durant — averaged more than 26 points. McDermott and Fredette were on teams that earned No. 3 seeds in the NCAA tournament.
Josh Hart, Villanova: Hart was the third player to get serious consideration for National Player of the Year. He's the guy that is most likely to have a Buddy Hield-esque, breakout senior season. As a junior with the Wildcats, Hart averaged a team-high 15.5 points and 6.8 boards, playing an integral role in Villanova's small-ball attack. His ability to attack the glass and playing bigger than his 6-foot-5 frame will be even more important for Jay Wright's club this season as they deal with a lack of size on the interior, but the key for Hart's long-term future will be his three-point shooting. He made 35.7 percent of his threes last season and 46.4 percent the season before, but that was on relatively limited attempts and his flat shot and awkward release makes it tough to project him as a floor-spacer at the next level. Did he put in the work this offseason to make a jump the way Hield did last season?
Josh Jackson, Kansas: Jackson was ranked the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2016 by a number of outlets, and there are still people that believe he'll eventually be the best NBA player out of this group. A freak athlete like Andrew Wiggins, Jackson is a bit more polished and a whole lot tougher than Wiggins was a freshman. It's not crazy to think that he can match Wiggins' output (17.7 points, 5.9 boards, nation's top perimeter defender), and considering Kansas is a preseason top five team, that puts him firmly in the All-America discussion. But here's what will limit him: If Carlton Bragg makes the improvement many expect him to, Jackson's offense may be cut into, and considering there are a pair of alpha-dogs that will be the guys called on to make big shots in key moments, it's hard to see him having any "Wooden Moments".
Ivan Rabb, California: We went with Rabb as the nation's best big man this season. Like Fultz, Rabb could end up playing on a team that doesn't reach the NCAA tournament. That's concerning, but there's a real chance that Rabb could end up averaging 18 points and 10 boards this season. Last season as a freshman, he averaged 12.6 points and 8.5 boards playing as a tertiary option on the offensive end. He would have been a lottery pick had he opted to declare for June's NBA Draft.
Monte' Morris, Iowa State: Morris is in an interesting situation this season. For the past three years, he's defined himself as the model of point guard efficiency, a facilitator who makes big shots when he has to but who excelled as running a team and creating for the guys around him. This year? That talent around him is depleted, meaning Morris will be asked to become more of a volume scorer. We expect him to embrace that role and excel in it.
Dennis Smith Jr., N.C. State: Smith tore his ACL last August, forcing him to miss his senior season of high school. But the injury meant that he was able to graduate high school early, enroll in college in January and spend the majority of his rehab time doing so with the Wolfpack trainers. The result? He's returned from the injury as good as new, which is important considering the fact that so much of what makes Smith dangerous is his explosiveness. A potential top five pick, Smith is talented enough that he could take a perennially under-achieving team to the NCAA tournament.
Nigel Williams-Goss, Gonzaga: You may not recognize this name. A former top 30 recruit, Williams-Goss transferred out of Washington after an all-Pac 12 season as a sophomore. He sat out last year as a transfer and will step in to the starting point guard role this season. Gonzaga lost Kyle Wiltjer and Domas Sabonis, but with the talent they have returning — and becoming eligible this season — the Zags have the look of a top ten team, and we expect Williams-Goss to be their engine.
Austin Nichols, Virginia: Nichols is going to be the star for this year's Virginia team, which is once again a contender for the ACC title. As a sophomore at Memphis, the former McDonald's All-American averaged 13.4 points, 6.7 boards and 3.4 blocks. He spent last season redshirting at Virginia and learning the system, which he is a perfect fit for. He's a better big man that Anthony Gill, and Anthony Gill was one of the most underrated players in the country last season.
Thomas Bryant, Indiana: Bryant is another guy that had a chance to be a first round pick last season but opted to return to school. He had a promising first year in Bloomington, but it came with typical freshman mistakes: He was lost early in the year, especially on the defensive end. But Bryant has the tools, he plays extremely hard and he's young for his grade; he was born five months after Josh Jackson.
Dillon Brooks, Oregon: Health is the big question with Brooks, and the reason that he's a third-teamer instead of being in contention for the first team. Brooks has a foot injury, one that Oregon has already said could keep him out at the start of the season. If healthy, he's a junior that averaged 16.7 points, 5.4 boards and 3.1 assists last season for a preseason top five team.
Jaron Blossomgame, Clemson: Blossomgame had a chance to leave college and head to the NBA Draft this spring, but he opted to return to school for his senior season. Blossomgame is certainly talented enough to be on this list — he averaged 18.7 points last season — but without the hype of a guy like Smith or Fultz, will he be able to get the Tigers to be a good enough team that people will play attention to him?
Jayson Tatum, Duke: The Blue Devils are the most talented team in the country, and trying to predict where production is going to come from in that offense is tough. Tatum is one of the best pure scorers in college basketball this season, but there's a real possibility he could end up being the third or fourth leading scorer on this team. The good news? Jabari Parker and Brandon Ingram thrived in the role he'll play. The bad news? Harry Giles III may be the best player on Duke come March.
Alec Peters, Valparaiso: Peters is the best player at the mid-major level in the country, a kid that graduated from school in three years and had the chance to leave for literally any other program in the country. He didn't. He opted to stay at Valpo, where he'll be the centerpiece of new head coach Matt Lottich's offense. It's not crazy to think he could average 23 points.
Bam Adebayo, Kentucky: Who is going to be Kentucky's leading scorer this season? It's tough to figure out, right? Our money is on Adebayo, their 6-foot-10 center. He's a freak athletically with more of a face-up game than he gets credit for. Given the lack of perimeter shooting for the Wildcats this season, Adebayo will be asked to carry much of the load.
On Tuesday morning, we released the NBCSports.com Preseason All-American Team.
We named Duke's Grayson Allen the Preseason Player of the Year. Allen spoke exclusively to NBCSports.com about how things have changed for him in the last 18 months, going to unlikely hero to Duke star to a despised figure in college basketball.
The worst part wasn't that he had gone from being celebrated as the surprising hero of a team that had won a national title to the Most Hated Man In College Sports.
The worst part wasn't that he followed a path, carved by Christian Laettner and taken by J.J. Redick before him, that he never wanted to be on. It wasn't that he couldn't go anywhere online or watch any sports on TV without seeing, reading or hearing someone ridiculing him, or that he had heard the four most soul-crushing words any child can hear their parents say: "We're disappointed in you."
The worst part?
For Grayson Allen, in the midst of a year where he was playing the best basketball he had ever played and dealing with more public and personal turmoil than he had ever before dealt with, the worst part was that he knew that he had done this to himself.

It only took two weeks for Grayson Allen to fulfill the legacy he never wanted.
It started on a Big Monday, the day after Peyton Manning had won his second Super Bowl, when the Blue Devils hosted a top ten Louisville team that was just three days removed from announcing that they would be self-imposing a postseason ban due to a burgeoning escort scandal. All eyes were now on basketball, and all college basketball fans were tuned into to this game.
And Allen, who was well on his way to a second-team NBCSports.com All-American season, delivered with a moment that immediately went viral. After getting knocked to the floor on a drive to the rim early in the second half, Allen tripped Louisville's Ray Spalding to stop a breakaway, a move that looked intentional but was awkward enough to earn Allen the benefit of the doubt.
That benefit went away two weeks later when, in the waning seconds of a 15-point win over Florida State, Allen extended his left foot backwards, sending Xavier Rathan-Mayes sprawling to the Cameron Indoor Stadium floor. This time, there was no denying it.
It was blatant.
It was intentional.
And it set off a firestorm.
The video was posted on every website. His picture was broadcast on every sports network. 'Should Grayson Allen be suspended?' and 'Is Grayson Allen a dirty player?' was a topic discussed by every personality paid to have an opinion.
RELATED: 50 Shades Of Grayson: Allen tries to avoid just One Shining Moment
Imagine that, for a second.
Imagine if your worst moment was broadcast live to millions of people, if the dumbest thing you ever did — the event that plays over and over in your head as insomnia takes hold — was replayed over and over on Sportscenter. Imagine if those same videos, accompanied by a story written by someone you've never heard of that details how annoying you are or how punchable your face is, can forever be found by simply typing your name into Google.
That's where Allen was when the calendar turned from February to March.
"I knew that I made mistakes," Allen said. "I messed up. I always had to be reminded of that and see that on TV. It was tough. It's embarrassing to see my mistakes, stuff I regret a lot, being replayed for everyone to see."
Four months earlier, Allen was the player everyone had pegged as the nation's breakout star. He wasn't even a year removed from igniting Duke's 2015 National Championship run, going from being a seldom-used, confidence-sapped freshman to the spark in a come-from-behind win over Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament title game. He had all the makings of being the Next Great Duke Villain — he's white, he's handsome, he plays with an edge and he's damned good, good enough to be named the 2016-17 NBCSports.com Preseason National Player of the Year — but simply being the footnote to the story of Coach K finally embracing, and succeeding, with the one-and-done model was not enough to make him memorable.
Not in the same way that Laettner and Redick are memorable.
It works like this: there is no middle ground with Duke. They're like the New York Yankees or the Dallas Cowboys in that fans either love them or actively root for them to lose, regardless of opponent. Playing at Duke comes with the caveat that you will be disliked because of the jersey you wear for you entire college career. It works that way for everyone, whether they're white or black, good or bad, tall or short, whatever.
But when you reach the level of a Laettner and a Redick, it changes the equation. That's when the target gets put on your back, and Allen got there last season. He averaged 21.6 points, 4.6 boards and 3.5 boards — which, when combined with his 61.6 true shooting percentage, gave him a stat-line that had never been accomplished at the high-major level before.
Throw in a pair of tripping incidents in the span of two weeks, and Allen didn't stand a chance. The hate he had to deal with last season was arguably more intense than anything any previous Duke player has dealt with. All Laettner had to do was to shut off the TV. Twitter didn't exist and FaceBook didn't allow anyone that wasn't a college student until after Redick graduated. Allen can't post on Instagram or Twitter without getting a barrage of responses telling him just how terrible of a person he is.
"There's nothing you can do to fully get away from it," he said.
Allen spoke with both Laettner and Redick about how to deal with the backlash, and their message was simple: Tune it out.
"Listen to the voice of our team and our coaches and not worry about stuff from the outside that's being said," Allen said. "[Coach K] has been through so many seasons and had so many players come through. He knows how to deal with it."
But they also told him that there is no blueprint for this, that different people have to find different ways to cope. He's not Laettner and he's not Redick. Laettner loved playing the role of the heel. Redick learned to embrace it, to use the vile things spewed from student sections as motivation, but it was also a defense mechanism.
"Instead of getting hurt by it, if this is who they want me to be, then I'm going to have fun being that villain," former Duke assistant Chris Collins explained. At the time, Collins and Redick were, and still remain, incredibly close. "I think it helped him deal with all the things that were coming his way."
That's not Grayson.
He doesn't like the attention. He doesn't want the spotlight. "He never has," his mom, Sherry, said, which is what made his decision this spring so interesting.
Allen had a chance to declare for the NBA Draft. He likely would have been a first round pick — potentially top 20 — and, in a worst-case scenario, he would have been taken early in the second round and landed a guaranteed contract. Living out a life-long dream while cashing NBA paychecks or going to class five times a week while spending another full season getting abused every time he leaves Duke's Durham campus? Play a role on an NBA team or see a new crop of freshmen come in and cut into your shots and minutes?
It seems like an obvious decision, and for Grayson, it was.
Just not the way many expected.
"Getting that Duke degree, having the opportunity to play as a lead guard, having the opportunity to play with an extremely talented group," Allen said, listing the reasons why staying in school was the easy choice. "Step outside my comfort zone more, talk more, be a leader more. I definitely think about winning another national championship."
"It was really hard for me to pass up."

Sherry Allen is from the heart of SEC country. She understands how the life of a college athlete can be under a microscope, that a superstar for a powerhouse program living in the fishbowl of a college campus can have a mistake magnified out of proportion.
But she's a football fan.
She didn't realize that, in sending her son to Duke, she was potentially setting him up for this. It never crossed her mind, largely due to the fact that she never thought her son would put himself in this situation.
"The word 'mad'? We weren't 'mad' at Grayson, we were disappointed in Grayson," Sherry said, realizing full-well that, for someone Grayson's age, disappointing one's parents is far worse than angering them. "We were disappointed because he wasn't smart. And Grayson is smart. He let down for a brief moment, and he was not smart and he made a mistake. That was the disappointment for us."
And that disappointment led to anguish as the newscycle spiraled.
"To tell you that I wasn't hurt, I was," she said. "I think the biggest hurt that I had personally was the name calling. To hear adults, who are parents and have children and are professionals, call names out to your child knowing that they are a parents their self, that was the biggest hurt to me."
She tried not to let her son see it, because he was able to move on from this. He could put the trips and the hatred that it spawned behind him. He could block out the noise. He could focus on the message from within the team. She knew he could do all of that, and she was right. He played some of his best basketball down the stretch, leading Duke to the Sweet 16 despite playing without their starting power forward and with a six-man rotation.
But he wouldn't have been able to do that if he knew that what he did had hurt the women he calls "such a big sweet-heart."
"What Grayson would not be able to handle is if he knew that we were hurt, showing hurt and feeling hurt," she said. "He would not have been able to move on from that."
That's what led to the phone calls.
As Grayson tells it, whenever his mom saw or heard or read something about him, she would call him to take her mind off of it. As Sherry tells it, she was simply calling to make sure that he was OK, that what she was seeing — whether it be a segment on First Take or a FaceBook post from a family friend — wasn't bothering him. The truth doesn't matter, because the end result of those conversations was that Sherry and her husband were able to get their message across to him: Move on. It happened, and unless you can go back and change the past, learn from it, grow from it, and let it go.
That's the message that Allen was hearing from his coaches, too. It's what he was hearing from his teammates. It's what he's spent the last eight months doing.
The question now is where he goes from here, because the tricky part is that playing with an edge is what makes Allen as good as he is. There's a toughness to him, a competitiveness that cannot be taught. Ask anyone associated with the Duke program the last two years — players or coaches that were forced to scrimmage with the undermanned Blue Devils in practice last season — and they'll all tell you playing against Grayson Allen is a miserable experience.
He's never not going to play hard. He's never not going to be super-competitive. He's been that way since he first learned what sports were. But last year, he was competitive to a fault. Last year, he let the intensity of the moment get to him. He tripped Spalding after he didn't get a call on a drive to the rim that left him on the deck. He tripped Rathan-Mayes after the Seminole point guard bumped him.
In those situations, he was the one that reacted.
But what happens if it's not Allen's fault?
The perfect encapsulation of just how bad it got for Allen last season came at the very end of their season. Oregon's Dillon Brooks had just buried a long three to beat the shot clock with a few seconds left and the game no longer in doubt. After Allen dribbled out the clock, Brooks bumped into him and the announcer said that Allen "shoved" Brooks away.
That's not the case. It was relatively harmless — as Allen tells it, Brooks apologized for running into him, complimented him for being a good player, Allen responded with a "you too, good luck", and that was that — but since it was Duke and Grayson Allen, and since Coach K was caught on camera lecturing Brooks about the shot in the handshake line, it turned into a massive story.
The point isn't to argue the merits of Coach K deriding opposing players. The point is that any little flashpoint involving Allen is going to become 'a thing' very quickly, and it's fair to wonder if a fear of another incident — either consciously or subconsciously — will affect the way he plays this season.
There's nothing he can say that will change this, either. This isn't something that he'll be able to fix during what is, in all likelihood, his final year on campus. He can't un-light that fuse. That's what happens when you're caught on camera taking a pair of cheap-shots. Ask Draymond Green how the court of public opinion reacts.
But regardless of your opinion on Allen, it is important to remember here that he returned to school despite the fact that he'll have to face the music every night. He returned to school because he wants to get his Duke degree, which he's hoping to finish in three years. He passed up on guaranteed NBA money to chase a second NCAA title.
Education matters to him.
Winning matters to him.
The program he plays for matters to him.
He is everything we want our college stars to be.
And he knows that two moments of weakness ensured that he'll never be remembered that way.

NILES - The Niles SCOPE Senior Center celebrated its 20th anniversary on June 24 at their current location, 14 E. State St. in downtown Niles. A free luncheon, live band, and a speech by Mayor Ralph Infante were part of the festivities.
The senior center has been around since 1977, originally located in the Masonic Temple, before moving to the current location in 1994.
The Niles center is one of six Trumbull County SCOPE locations and is a private nonprofit organization serving the elderly. Funded by the Trumbull County senior services levy, the organization's centers are paid by all land-owning residents in the county.

Niles SCOPE Co directors Judy Fabian and Ray Novotny stand in front of a table featuring memorabilia depicting the center's last 20 years.
Currently, the senior center's membership fees are $15 for a single person or $25 for a couple.
Co-directors Judy Fabian and Ray Novotny both find a sense of joy and wonderment working with the attending seniors.
"I get so much more than I give," Fabian said. "I learn something every day from these people. They each have stories to tell, and they are some of the best stories."
Novotny has been with the Niles center for 10 years and said when he first started working there, around 10,000 guests entered the center a year. Now, around 35,000 guests visit the center annually.
Some popular activities are various forms of exercise, quilting, cards, informational sessions, and the occasional travel.
Fabian and Novotny explained that they never know what activities will be more popular than others, but more often than not, the activities are received with eagerness from the patrons.
The senior center does more than just offer a location for activities, it provides another home. The staff and volunteers relieve loneliness and are a source of inspiration and strength.
"The center specializes in four areas: socialization, health and education, physical activity, and supportive services," Novotny said.
After 50 years of service, SCOPE's mission remains the same. Through informational sessions and supportive services, the centers help educate members on personal and health issues, risks and scams, and the beauty of friendship at any age.
With more than 700 members ranging from age 50 to 100, the Niles center is a place for seniors to stay active and make friends, but more importantly, learn about the programs and assistance available.
Recently, the Guardian Angels of Trumbull County visited the SCOPE in Niles to discuss the Vial of Life program, which provides medical responders and doctors with a person's medical information in case of an emergency. The Guardians are trained volunteers who promote health, safety and independence.
The senior center is also a big part of the Niles community. Aside from cooperating with other local organizations, it often partakes in special community events, including Harry Stevens Hot Dog Day.
For the past 37 years, the SCOPE family's tradition has been assisting a member and a community in need, and the Niles senior center reflects that every day.

by Simon Black, Sovereign Man :
Yesterday evening I attended an outstanding performance of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice; if you're unfamiliar with the play, the story is about a young Venetian nobleman named Bassanio who needs 3,000 gold ducats to woo a beautiful heiress. Having squandered his wealth, Bassanio approaches his friend Antonio for a loan.
In the middle of the performance, I got curious about the sum. How much is 3,000 ducats in today's money? A quick check on my phone gave me the answer.
A ducat's weight is roughly 3.5 grams, or .11 troy ounces of gold weight… so 3,000 ducats is roughly $530,000 at today's gold price.
In the context of the play, this amount makes sense; in other words, if one were to write an updated version of the play to today's standards, substituting half a million dollars for 3,000 ducats would definitely fit the plot.

DeKALB – Free champagne lured Dylan Donzelli into Ray's Chicago BBQ of DeKalb on Friday, but it was the ribs that had him licking his fingers.
Donzelli, a DeKalb resident and student at Northern Illinois University, said he would come back to one of DeKalb's newest restaurants after dining there for the first time.
"I'm waiting for delivery," he said. "That way, I won't even have to move."
Ray's Chicago BBQ, 870 W. Lincoln Highway in DeKalb, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday that DeKalb Mayor John Rey attended. The restaurant has been open for about a month, but managers said they waited to hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony until they were settled.
Ray's Chicago BBQ has eight restaurants, including locations in Chicago, and is in the process of expanding, said Louis Ludwig, company spokesman.
The menu features barbecue ribs, a pulled chicken sandwich, beef brisket and a pulled pork sandwich. The chicken comes from Inboden's Meat Market, 1106 N. First St., DeKalb.
Ludwig said there are no other restaurants in the area like Ray's Chicago BBQ.
"There's no restaurants here for competition," Ludwig said. "There's hardly any places you can get a good meal."
The new DeKalb business uses wood such as hickory, apple and mesquite in its smokers. All the sauces are made from scratch, and it takes 12 hours for the brisket and pulled pork to cook, Ludwig said.
Malee Ludwig said she will manage the DeKalb location two days a week. The restaurant will deliver and cater as well as sell liquor and offer a slot machine. Managers are still waiting for a liquor license and approval for a slot machine, the latter of which can take six months.
Ray's Chicago BBQ currently has seven part-time employees but is hiring. The business is flexible, realizing many students' busy schedules.
"I don't want students to work too many hours," Malee Ludwig said. "We need more staff to work two or three days a week."
Ray's Chicago BBQ also donates much of the leftover food they make. Some chicken they made recently was donated to a homeless shelter, Louis Ludwig said.
Managers were not fully prepared for how busy they were when they first opened. They sold out of all their food the first day they opened and had to close the next day.
"We didn't plan to have so many people," Malee Ludwig said. "When you open the door, everybody parked their car."

Jaguars Limiting Denard Robinson's Role
The label ?offensive weapon? still applies to Jaguars rookie Denard Robinson. But he won?t be used as broadly as previously believed.
?We did take less off of him,? coach Gus Bradley said Thursday, via the Associated Press. ?We?ve got him more towards kickoff returns, some of the things he?s doing offensively. We?re taking some things off of his plate to see if that just frees up his mind a little bit more.?
The problem, per the AP, is ball security. Robinson, with an excessive number of roles, was making too many mistakes with the ball.

HAMMOND: Time For Billy Crystal & Oscar Again? UPDATE: Brett Ratner Responds
MONDAY PM UPDATE: As you know, Brett Ratner is producing the Oscar show with Don Mischer and emailed me tonight with his reaction to Billy Crystal's statements regarding possibly hosting the Oscars again. Ratner says: "I didn't see what Billy said. I'm really focused on finishing my film Tower Heist right now. [But] I was told by the Academy that I don't have to make a decision until mid-September."
PREVIOUS: So is Billy Crystal once again the answer to all of Oscar's woes? His statement in answer to a fan's query at an American Cinematheque screening of City Slickers on Friday night was that he might be open to hosting again "maybe one or two more times". But that's not even the first time he's dropped the hint this year. In March, shortly after he made his appearance on the 83rd Oscar show to honor Bob Hope, he was hosting a charity event and told a reporter, "I think the show needs to change. There's too many awards and it has to sort of freshen itself up, and if I can be a part of that, that would be great." Between that and Friday's encouraging words, what more do the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and newly minted producers Brett Ratner and Don Mischer need to hear?
Of course, if Crystal means he would host as long as there "were fewer awards" he can forget it. The Academy's Board (largely made up of below-the-line craftspeople) regularly balk at any attempt to limit the number of awards on the actual ABC broadcast itself, insisting that the producers and host/s can basically do whatever they want creatively except try to eliminate any of those 24 categories. When Bill Condon and Larry Mark produced the show three years ago they even privately suggested at one point that perhaps some of the crafts categories (the shorts for instance?) might be handed out during the Red Carpet pre-show. That way they would still be broadcast nationally, just not in the traditional way as part of the big show itself. It was an instant no-go from Academy honchos.
Gil Cates, who has produced the show 14 times, even tried handing out some of those awards from the audience on the 2005 show in order to move things along. But the idea wasn't well-received (some felt it belittled those awards) and wasn't attempted again. This film organization isn't called The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for nothing.
But Crystal clearly was energized by the standing ovation he received at the 83rd Academy Awards as well as all that flattering praise — as opposed to the critical drubbing for co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Billy is getting his Oscar juices flowing. The American Cinematheque appearance gave him another (unplanned?) opportunity to send a message to the Academy. And a high-profile full-blown Oscar hosting gig could be a win-win for Crystal and the Academy which is still reeling from some of the critical brickbats thrown at last year's hosts. After all, Billy hasn't starred in a major live action movie since 2002's sequel Analyze That and hasn't starred in a critically well-received pic since 1999's Analyze This.
Although he said he wasn't promising anything, the Academy and their producers would be crazy not to take Billy's hint, particularly since Ratner says one of the things the show needs is a lot more comedy. And Mischer co-produced and directed the show where Crystal's return was so warmly received. In the annals of Oscar hosts the golden comedy trio has been Hope (18 times), Johnny Carson (1979-82 and 1984) and Crystal (eight times between 1990 and 2004). Is Crystal's Oscar moment coming again? It should.
Billy Crystal is THE answer for the ailing Oscars. YES!
Not Chris Tucker.
Not Chris Rock.
Not Mr. Franco.
Maybe Crystal — with a cameo by Bill Murray. That would be perfect. And Rattner would be off the hook because his directorial chops, though OK, would not have saved the day I think.
He'd be great primarily for the nostalgia factor. People miss the '80s and '90s something fierce. Even younger twentysomethings probably remember Billy fondly from their babyhood.
First sign of a U.S. comeback: Billy Crystal hosting the Oscars?
Billy was a leftist, Bush-hating jerk as I remember. His anti-GOP "jokes" were typical Hollywood liberal trash.
Ted Nugent would be a better choice.
I fail to see your point
The answer to a revitalized awards broadcast is simple— BACK TO THE FUTURE.
Telecast the awards broadcast from the Awards Dinner, itself! Just as the the first Academy gatherings were dinners, return to that format. MORE fun and excitement for the viewers and the participants— like a Golden Globes on steroids!!!!!!
Crystal will be even more amusing after everyone has knocked back a glass or two of "Cristal".
Definitely a good move for Billy.
I don't think that Billy Crystal is the cure for Oscars Rating Gloom. I think that Tom Cruise or Will Smith–or both of them as a pair is who could bring the glow back to the Oscars Telecast.
Obviously, this comment came from the $cientology Celebrity Center.
I will do anything for anyone who can keep Billy Crystal from hosting the Oscars ever again. If you are reading this, I will wash your car every day with my hair. I will buy you a real pony. I will reveal to you the secret forumlas for Coca Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken and perfect latkes. I will carry you on my back across a raging river. I will repair your shoes while you sleep. And that thing that neither one of us is saying out loud? Yes, I will do that too. Whatever it takes, please, please, please keep this man away from the Oscars.
I, in no way, agree with your post, but I sure enjoyed reading it.
You kiss-ass. You just want a real pony.

If they're trying to attract younger viewers, I think Billy's time has passed.
Younger viewers are just like older viewers – they laugh at what's funny. Billy C is funny no matter how old you are. As soon as TV producers figure this out, the Oscars and TV in general will be better.
I so agree. And throwing in some mega-star like Tom Cruise is a super bad mistake because they're not "quick with a comeback" I can't imagine TC riffing comically on anything if he doesn't have something written for him and Will doesn't have the chops either. They don't need "an actor" they need an entertainer…
Hosting this show well is an art. Not a lot of contemporary guys can pull it off. If not Billy (my first choice) than Steve Martin or Conan O'B. Woopy was good too. Kathy Griffith maybe. Oh, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin…. now that could be good.
Tom Cruise or Will Smith? Huh? Did you see them host the Oprah finale episodes? It would be great to have Billy Crystal back!
Seriously, he's what the show has been missing…
Now that MD Telethon people don't want or need him— time for the Academy to let a real mensch host! IMAGINE?
Tag team Hugh Jackman and Neil Patrick Harris as the hosts. Both those men gave the Tony awards life again.
Hiring Crystal (who is the best of all time) is in direct opposition to bringing on Ratner. Ratner won't produce a good Billy Crystal Oscars.
you got that right. but above all else ratner likes to win and popularity. if it comes down its crystal, ratner wont drop out, hes too scared of a success w/o him, however thats the allure of the oscars that it can only go up, when in all reality, i think no matter what it's just gonna keep going down….theres too much other game in town, you can watch anything impt seconds later on the internet, i dont want to see a musical number AT all or anyone dance, its just lame in this day and age and has SO little to do with film itself. movies (hopefully) take us away…the oscars brings us right back to earth, and keep us there for at least 3 hours…on top of that, its not that exciting to see our stars anymore, theyre on tmz, guesting on an episode of curb your enthusiasm, in the tabloids, etc and if you bring the likes of the warren beattys up on stage, im sorry 75% of your audience doesnt even remember as far back as when he looked old dating madonna…
put it this way, when you give a speech, everyone tells you the same thing; make it short and make it funny. the oscars is long and unfunny. billy crystal guessing what 20-35 years olds want to hear isnt gonna be funny, its just not. award shows are tapped…i havn't watched one in almost a decade, ive turned down going to the event itse;f and i LOVE movies with a passion, but not the award shows, please…just end.
Billy might be great, and I know Billy, but there has been almost a whole generation since 1999.
Not the smartest move if they want to change the opinion of and attract a younger crowd.
Billy hosted in 2004.
Since he had the semblance of a decent movie…
Get the younger viewers Academy! If you want to appease the younger viewers you should go with someone that is "white" hot with popularity and would have all of Facebook and Twitter buzzing. That's right, Betty White for Host.
The problem with the Oscars is rather simple.
They have no appeal or relevance to the average moviegoer. That by far majority of the population that sees 2 to 3 movies a year.
If you want people to watch, tou have to be relevant to them.
This isn't 1990 anymore. It is the internet era, when one can more than get their fill of seeing their fav stars, so that also means one doesn't need to watch the broadcast for a shot of their fav stars.
Billy Crystal just isn't funny anymore. He's too "Catskills Resort." Neil Patrick Harris would be good.
I second the vote for Neil Patrick Harris. How humiliating is it that the TONY's were better TV than the Oscars this year?
1. Billy Crystal
2. Sacha Baron Cohen
3. Tom Hanks
4. Ricky Gervais
5. Jimmy Kimmel
I think Anne Hathaway should host the Academy Awards by herself. The problem wasn't Anne Hathaway, it was James Franco. Anne Hathaway has the charisma and charm needed. It's just that James Franco who has the personality of a doormat ruined the whole thing. He looked so bored and didn't bother trying to save it. Whereas Anne did a better job and would have been great without Franco.
She was fine. The script they were given was terrible. I don't blame Franco for checking out once he saw what he was given to work with.
I think everyone's missing the larger point of this article. Apparently, The American Cinematheque had a screening of City Slickers last Friday. WHY????
It was an anniversary you fool. If you have ever been to the fabulous Aero, you would know that they regularly do those things. Sometimes it's Bergman films, other times it's Cameron Crowe etc. It's my favorite cinema for that very reason. As a film buff, I thank Christ something like that exists in this town. Ignorant muchly?
Kieran: the voice of the multiplex generation.
uh… it is City Slickers… what next we should have an anniversary showing for Zardoz?
Jimmy Fallon & Stephen Colbert would be the perfect choice is paired together
Steve Carell should host.
Not if he's gonna look all embalmed like the picture shown and whipping out one liners straight from Brighton Beach.
The goal of the host should be to move the show along at a quick pace. Keep it moving and exciting. Don't slow it down with corny jokes or insults that people will roll their eyes at. Ad libs are good but now full on written speach. I'm part of the "I can't" generation. No patience for nonsense. Just deliver the goods.
Please, Academy –hire JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.
He sings, he dances, he's funny, he's charming, he's a modern-day entertainer.
Billy's great, but c'mon already, enough with him.
oh god please NOOOOOOOO he has had so much crazy work done I cant even look at his face. its terrifying! his 2 mins at last years ceremony was even more painful to watch than the hathaway/franco trainwreck
How exactly could Billy Crystal "freshen" up the show? Will anyone under 35 even know who he is? And his idea of less awards is kind of offensive to all the people who work behind the scenes like the sound mixers and costume designers because you know that's who'd they'd cut first. And why stop there? Why not get rid of the writing and directing awards too? If you're going to pander to people who don't give a shit about honoring the people who actually make the movies, why not just film the red carpet and call it a day?
Why is he insisting that they limit the amount of awards broadcast — it's bad enough that they don't have the honorary awards and don't even broadcast that. It's called an awards show. I'm so sick of them wanting to shorten it — even more sick that they want to move to the show to january when it should be in march — when academy members can actually see the films they nominate.
So you really enjoy them giving out the awards for short films even though 99.9% of the audience watching the show hasn't had a chance to see them?
What's the point of wasting 15 minutes on them? (Live short, doc short, animated short.)
Announcing the winner is great. Show a clip of the awards show. But don't have it in the main show.
And I agree that the lifetime honorees should be in the main show. They're usually someone the audience has a connection to (or at least knows their work and has a connection to that.)
It'll be great when Billy breaks out those timely Sammy Davis Jr. and Muhammad Ali impersonations.
Spare us. The ship has sailed, Billy. Bye now.

This building, 'The Bridge' is in Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire, UK. At a guess it is late 18th century, and must be a listed building. The 'Georgian Lodge' is next door and as the name suggests, is a typical 1730-1800 property.
This building is in 'Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, England. I would guess it is early 18th century and probably listed, while the Georgian Lodge next door on the right (out of sight) is of a later date, but must be between 1730-1800.

Ex-Speaker Grow dies, March 31, 1907
On this day in 1907, Galusha Aaron Grow of Pennsylvania, speaker of the House at the start of the Civil War, died at age 84. Grow served a total of 21 years in the House, two of them as speaker. After leaving the House in 1863, he returned some three decades later, in 1894, after winning a special election. This remains the longest interval between terms of service in House annals.
Initially elected as a Democrat in 1850, Grow opposed the extension of slavery into Western territories. In the midst of his third term, Grow switched parties to join the newly organized Republicans after President Franklin Pierce signed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Grow ran as a Republican in 1856 and remained one for the rest of his political career.
Story Continued Below
In 1858, Rep. Laurence Keitt (D-S.C.) pummeled Grow in the House chambers, leading to a brawl between Northerners and Southerners. Tall, defiant and unafraid to use physical force against opponents, Grow, one observer said, was "a thorough politician and a good presiding officer, possessing the tact, the quickness of perception and the decision" required of a leader.
As speaker, Grow helped enact the landmark Homestead Act, which offered 160 acres of public land to settlers who agreed to farm it for a set period of years. As Southern states seceded, the House was down by nearly 60 members from the 237 who served there previously.
In 1862, Grow was defeated when the Democrats, who controlled the Pennsylvania Legislature, redistricted him out of office. He returned to the House as a member at large from Pennsylvania from 1894 to 1903. Between 1899 and 1901, he chaired the House Education Committee.
Grow remained the last member of Congress to be defeated while serving as speaker until Rep. Tom Foley (D-Wash.) lost his seat in the Republican landslide of 1994.

Re: Error: cannot convert from (__clrcall *) to (__cdecl *)
Is cfg.cb of type 'void (__clrcall sept05::Form1::* )(pjsua_call_id)'? I can't tell, because pjsua_config is defined in code you haven't posted. If not, then there's the reason for the error, and you need to change the type or do a cast.
BTW, if you use code tags when you post, it retains formatting. The above is pretty unreadable as all the indenting has been removed.
Re: Error: cannot convert from (__clrcall *) to (__cdecl *)
Or use a compile flag that tells the compiler to stop being so whiny about a simple function address assignment. Or tell us you weren't trying to assign the address of the function to cfg.cb.on_call_media_state but were instead trying to call the function and assign the return value :-)
Oh and I should have asked for the type of cfg.cb.on_call_media_state, not cfg.cb.

PHOENIX (Sept. 7, 2007) – Best Western International, already the fastest-growing hotel chain in Asia, is quickly becoming the largest hotel chain on the continent. It is on pace to have more than 200 properties by 2010 – expanding from just six hotels in 2001 to 106 today.
"Our numbers are impressive, and that is because of the way we are expanding in Asia: By forming strong local partnerships with developers who understand the history, culture and people of each country and are interested in building high-quality hotels in high-profile areas," said David Kong, Best Western president and CEO. "Best Western is quickly becoming one of the most respected hotel brands on the continent."
Best Western's global sales and marketing, quality assurance and Gold Crown Club International loyalty programs are several reasons the brand is popular with Asian developers and hoteliers. "As the world's largest hotel chain, we bring scale, reach and a billion-dollar reservation system," said Kong.
Best Western currently has properties in:
• China. With 32 hotels either open or in the pipeline -- including two slated to be in operation in Beijing before the 2008 Summer Olympics -- Best Western is on pace to open 7 to 10 hotels per year.
• India. The chain recently signed a new master licensing agreement with Cabana Hotels. A $1.2 billion investment is expected to bring 100 hotels and 10,000 rooms to India over the next decade.
• South Korea. Best Western has 11 hotels and is the country's largest and fastest-growing hotel chain.
• Thailand. With 11 already operating properties, Best Western aims to have up to 30 hotels in the country by 2010. Best Western's Asia headquarters is located in Bangkok.
• Japan. Twenty-one hotels are under development in the country. When complete, the new properties will add nearly 3,000 hotel rooms to the system.
• Indonesia. Best Western recently established a development office in the country and expects to have 20 hotels within the next three years.
The chain also is operating or developing hotels in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.
Best Western International is THE WORLD'S LARGEST HOTEL CHAIN®, providing marketing, reservations and operational support to 4,200* independently owned and operated member hotels in 80* countries and territories worldwide. Founded in 1946, this iconic brand is host to approximately 400,000 worldwide guests each night. A pioneer within the industry, Best Western is recognized for its distinctive business model and diverse hotel portfolio. The company continues to innovate and enhance both the business and leisure travel experience. For more information or to make a reservation, please visit www.bestwestern.com.

Get Out There and Meet Up!
I had signed up for this site and added myself to all kinds of groups that sounded really fun and interesting to be a part of. But, I hadn't stepped out the door to actually meet up. My first meet up was this past Friday and it was great! I went with a friend to a board games meet up. The only instructions was to either bring a game or a snack and have fun!
There were about 20-25 people in this beautiful home and we all gathered, chatted and proceeded to play games. There was a pool table, pinball machine, foosball table, and several different board games to choose from. My friend I played pretty much every game, and we even played Jenga and Scattegories. This was an awesome experience because everyone had the same intention to just get out and have a good time. I am now looking forward to actually trying out some of the other meet ups that are available because it is a great way to meet people who share the same interests as yourself. Why stay in wishing you had somewhere to go when there is a group out there some where doing exactly what you like to do?
Luckily the host of our meet up was gracious enough to provide beverages including; beer and wine (nice ). I definitely recommend people taking a look at meet up just to see what's out there in our beautiful San Diego. If your single, like myself, it is also an added bonus to just get out and meet different people. And what better way to meet someone who shares your interest than in a group doing something you both like!

Spring Paper Tube Sachet
By: Maria Chatzi
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Great to use as a trinket box or a scented sachet, this Spring Paper Tube Sachet from Maria Chatzi is a fun and easy way to put those empty toilet paper rolls to use. Drop one in your drawer, under the seat of your car, or in your closet for a quick and easy fragrant boost.
- Toilet paper tube
- Piece of paper, color: white, dimensions: 5.52 inches x 5.52 inches
- Flowery lace ribbon, color: white, length: twice the height of your paper tube , width: 1.18 inches (a bit wider would also look nice)
- Stapler
- Glue
- Scissors
- Satin dotted ribbon, color: red, length: 4.75 inches, width: 1 inch
- Mat ribbon, color: red, length: 3.55 inches , width: 2 inches
- Satin ribbon, color: white, length: 16 inches , preferred width: 0.20 inches
- Small white flower , made of any material (mine is a plastic one with a satin finish)
Press your palm onto the paper tube, to flatten it. Then use your stapler to staple all along one end. This will be the bottom of your sachet. Leave the upper end open, as it is.
Cover 3/4 of your sachet with your white paper, starting from the bottom (cover both front and back side). Trim any paper in excess. Wait till the glue has dried.
Now, take your flowery lace ribbon, cut it in half and glue the two halves along the two sides of the sachet and trim it. Again, wait for the glue to dry before you continue with the project.
The lace ribbon design should mostly be in the front side but a little bit of the lace has to be wrapped and glued around the side edges to the back of your sachet too.
To continue, turn your sachet to its back side. Take your scissors and cut a pointed end to your wider red ribbon. Glue the ribbon on the back side of the sachet as shown in photo Nr. 2, and, on top of that, glue the white satin ribbon along the upper (open) end of your sachet. Wait for the glue to harden.
Now, turn your sachet to its front side again. After that, turn it over to its back side and glue one end of the dotted ribbon onto the wide red mat ribbon. Wait for the glue to dry completely. Cut a dove-tail end finish for the other dotted ribbon end.
Then, flip the ribbon over to the front side. Glue the white flower onto the pointed end of the wider red ribbon and your Spring paper tube sachet is ready.
- After you place your charm pendant gift or your keepsake trinket in the sachet, bring the ends of the white satin ribbon to the front too and make a bow over your red ribbons.
- Take into consideration that it takes more time for the glue to harden if the flower is made of any other material except light paper or light fabric.

Physics and Astronomy
- 9th in the UK for Physics & Astronomy in The Complete University Guide 2016
- Weekly, small group tutorials with academic staff
- Multi-million pound renovation of the Physics building, including teaching laboratories and study environments
- 90% of research classified as world-leading or internationally excellent
- Home to the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Metamaterials, The Centre for Graphene Science and The Living Systems Institute; each with pioneering research in material, quantum and biomedical physics
- Specialise in Astrophysics: our world-leading group focuses on star formation and exoplanets
- A long experimental or theoretical project during the final two years of the MPhys degrees based in our research groups
- Spend your third year studying in a university abroad, or undertaking a research project as part of a salaried placement
Studying physics is a challenging, stimulating, thought-provoking and ultimately rewarding experience. We are one of the foremost centres of research in the UK, staffed by academics dedicated to their research and teaching. Our building is set in a beautiful location with views of the coastline and Dartmoor, providing an inspiring environment for you to address the intellectual challenges that arise as part of your scientific training.
The Physics Building has recently undergone a multi-million pound investment programme, filling our teaching laboratories and computer suites with new equipment, creating new student study areas, and relocating the Student Services area to an accessible location in the Foyer. We have advanced research facilities that include clean-rooms for photo and nanolithography, a helium liquefier for low temperature experiments, a water tank for acoustic experiments (SONAR), amplified ultra-fast laser systems for the study of ultra-high speed phenomena, and a suite of instruments for imaging biological materials.
Our degree programmes include a wide range of options, both applied and theoretical, allowing you to develop your own particular interests. The options range from cosmology and biophysics to many-body theory, exoplanets, and programming. You can also take options in other subjects such as a modern language, philosophy or mathematics. Lectures are illustrated with in-depth descriptions of recent discoveries and many of our option modules reflect our research interests.
Ultimately we are training you to be a practitioner of physics, in other words, a researcher in your own right, and that means you need to obtain first-hand experience of what it is like to conduct research work yourself. You will gain this experience either in our third-year teaching laboratory, or embedded in our research groups. Indeed, we rely on undergraduates to contribute towards Exeter's research effort in the years to come, via this project work, as potential PhD students, or by playing a role in promoting our department if you find employment in industry. Therefore we firmly believe in individual attention, from the day you visit us for an interview. During your programme, you will meet the professors and lecturers in tutorials, in problem-solving classes, and in the laboratories, and we have an 'open-door' policy to encourage academic discussion between students and staff. You will feel part of a department that is enthusiastic about physics and wants you to succeed.

The independent comedy film "Route 30" was released in 2009. Set and shot entirely in south-central Pennsylvania, the movie starred several actors who, while not household names, would likely get an "Oh hey, it's that guy!" reaction from many viewers.
The sequel to the oddball comedy, titled "Route 30, Too!" doesn't skimp on the bizarre. The plot revolves around an ancient Indian curse, a ghost, and an extra-terrestrial. It also involves a gaggle of local yokels whose lives revolve around a Chambersburg gentleman's club near the eponymous Route 30. The film will be shown at the Capitol Theatre on Feb. 16 and 17.
The cast includes Lee Wiilkof, a former Tony Award nominee known for appearances on "Ally McBeal" and "The West Wing"; Curtis Armstrong, best remembered as Booger from "Revenge of the Nerds"; and Beth Behrs, a Lancaster native and star of the CBS comedy series "2 Broke Girls."
See the teaser trailer below!
7 p.m. Feb. 16 and 3 p.m. Feb. 17 at the Capitol Theatre, 50 N. George St. York. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at 717-846-1111.

Very pleasant and rewarding. Monica and her husband are super nice and always willing to help you to make your life easier. To make matters worse ... Monica speaks French, which helps a lot those who stammer the American language / English.
Séjour très agréable et enrichissant. Monica et son mari sont super gentils et toujours prêts à vous aidez pour vous faciliter la vie. Pour tout arranger...Monica parle français, ce qui aide pas mal ceux qui balbutient la langue américaine/anglaise.
Monica and Steven are fantastic: very nice!! The house is very nice and very welcoming, we had available a whole floor of the house: bedroom, bathroom and kitchen for our exclusive use. The only downside are the links: if you take the direct bus to get to NEW YORK in about 20 minutes and just a few steps from TIME SQUARE, but if you lose the direct bus and take the "local" the road is very more beautiful, but it takes more than an hour to get to New York, always a few steps away from Times Square
Monica e Steven sono fantastici: simpaticissimi!!!! La casa è molto carina ed accogliente: avevamo a disposizione un intero piano della casa: camera da letto, bagno e cucina abitabile a nostro uso esclusivo. L'unica pecca sono i collegamenti: se si prende il bus diretto si arriva a NEW YORK in 20 minuti circa e proprio a due passi da TIME SQUARE, ma se si perde il bus diretto e si prende il "local" la strada è molto più bella, ma ci si mette più di un'ora per arrivare a New York, sempre a due passi da Time Square
Best place imaginable to stay for a visit to New York City! Everything was totally great! Strongly recommended! I enjoyed every minute there. Thank you Monica and Steven.
Monica and Steven are great!!
We were welcomed and received very warmly; they made us feel really comfortable. Thanks to the express bus one can reach Manhatten within 30 minutes. That means on the one hand one can enjoy the city's life and on the other hand the silence and the landscape of NJ - absolutely perfect!
Our lessors did not only provide us with premises, but they really welcomed us. We had the feeling not only to be paying guests - we felt almost like being at home.
Last month I had a really wonderful time in Leonia, New Jersey. I had my own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
The bus in front of the house took me to Port Authority in just over half an hour.
Monica and Steven are very friendly and helpful hosts. Also they're good and intelligent company. They made me feel at home right away.
I recommend people stay at their place!
Kind regards, Peter.
We were looking for, and we found, a nice accomodation to have a good weekend in NY. actually we were in New Jersey, but really close to Manhattan, just cross G. Wahington bridge, it's a good compromise to save some bugs. Monica is a very nice and kind girl.
Hi travelers!
I just can say it was the best thing that could ever happen and such a blessing to met Monica and Steve! We had such a great time with them. It is always the best to know locals but Monica and Steve are very special! They showed us their little beautiful village and shared with us a part of their life. It is not just a sleep and eat place, it is a experience place.
Hope you enjoy your trip as we did!
Best ,

There are very few aftermarket options for any Ruger rifles. Right off I cannot think of any options in left hand other than factory. www.mcmfamily.com might work with you if you want synthetic.
April 28, 2012, 12:35 PM
wood or plastic?
April 28, 2012, 12:39 PM
Looked here http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Classic-Replacement-Stocks-Ruger-s/38.htm
They do offer a laminated replacement for left hand Rugers.
Good stocks, but far heavier than I'd want.
April 28, 2012, 01:06 PM
Wood or Plastic, doesnt matter just want to keep original new and float barrel.
April 28, 2012, 01:13 PM
Both links that are posted are for left hand stocks with right hand actions. Im talking a true left handed action Haweye.
April 28, 2012, 03:07 PM
I find it hard to believe no one makes one, maybe I will have to call?
April 28, 2012, 03:21 PM
any of the custom stock makers should be able to help. ex: richards microfit, macon, mpi, gunstocks.com
April 28, 2012, 10:00 PM
The cheapset route is just to call Ruger and buy a 2nd factory stock. I ordered one from them a few years ago and was quoted $85 shipped for synthetic or $135 shipped for walnut. I know the price has gone up since then, but it will still be the cheapest route.

Crist Sets Fundraising Record
Published July 10th, 2009
Gov. Charlie Crist is winning the dash for campaign cash.
Crist raised a record-setting $4.3 million for his U.S. Senate campaign in the second quarter of this year. He leads his opponents in money raised and voter polls, according to the Capitol News Service.
Crist said since people are giving money to his campaign, the funding is a sign that he is doing a good job.
Kendrick Meek, the Democratic front runner for the U.S. Senate, raised $1.5 million in the second quarter of the year.

As expected, Mobile Symphony Orchestra has named Gregg Gustafson chief executive officer. He will assume his new duties on Jan. 25.
Gustafson comes to Mobile from Chicago, where he most recently has been the executive director of Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago. He previously worked in management with the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, Cincinnati Orchestra Gustafson and other organizations.
He was general manager of Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, executive director of the Louisville Orchestra, general manager of the Savannah Symphony Orchestra, assistant manager of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and director of operations for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.
"Gregg brings a wide variety of valuable experience to the Mobile Symphony," says board chair Bree Hayes. "He has managed orchestras of different sizes and helped them grow in today's challenging market. I know he'll be an asset to our operation and to the Gulf Coast arts community as well."
Early in his career, Gustafson played tuba with several orchestras. During a break from the professional orchestra world, he operated his own antique gallery in Atlanta.
Gustafson holds a bachelor's degree is tuba performance from Indiana University and master's degrees in business administration and arts administration from Southern Methodist University.

BELLEFONTE - Three of the 10 known victims stood up and spoke at the sentencing hearing, and a fourth had his statement read into the record.
More tears were shed, more light shone onto their unspeakable burdens. They spoke, the attorneys spoke, and then it was just the two of them, directly facing each other:
Jerry Sandusky, in a red prison uniform, standing at a lectern. And John Cleland, wearing a black robe, seated behind the judge's bench.
It had come to this. The trial had been a horror, and included a behind-the-scenes abomination never told to the jury: one of Sandusky's six adopted children approached prosecutors in the middle of the proceedings to claim that he, too, was one of his father's victims. It had been a national spectacle, with the former Penn State defensive coordinator at the center of a swirl of events that resulted in the firing of legendary coach Joe Paterno, as well as university president Graham Spanier.

Well, it's the last day of school for 2011. Outside, I can hear the happy voices of the children waiting for the bell to ring, for the final time this year, to welcome them back into our classroom. The day will fly by - it always does.
But for me, this year is different. This year, the farewells and last day moments are personal. For today, my association with my wonderful school ends for me as a parent. Today, I farewell my last, youngest child from this hallowed and happy place of learning. Today, I see the last of my 3 children graduate from primary school and enter a much greater time of independence.
No more post-It notes in my office at the end of lunchtime, lovely notes from my daughter who enjoys writing me little messages.
No more knowing everything that is going on in her life.
No more coming to school with mum and running back to my room at 3pm.
Perhaps this is a very good thing. Apart from the post-It notes, those I will REALLY miss!
It is time for the last one to fly off to intermediate and find her place in the world outside of the safe and warm place that is primary school.
And it is time for me to shed a few tears, laugh a lot and smile proudly. Not just for my daughter as she leaves but also for my lovely class as we farewell one another for the year. Bittersweet is the best way to describe it all, really.

Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas Holds Critical Energy Issues Dialogue
8 April 2011: The Regional Critical Energy Issues Dialogue and meeting of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) was held in 7-8 April in Panama City, Panama.
Coordinated by the Department of Sustainable Development of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Secretary of Energy of Panama, and supported by the State and Energy Departments of the United States, the meeting gathered representatives from more than 20 countries in the Americas to exchange opinions and explore methods of cooperation on issues regarding energy and climate.
The meeting provided an opportunity to demonstrate regional progress and share experiences under on-going ECPA initiatives, and to identify country coordinators for ECPA Information Clearinghouse. Participants also made suggestions for new initiatives, discussed how to further the involvement of the private sector and civil society, and made preparations for the next Energy and Climate Ministerial, which will convene prior to the Sixth Summit of the Americas to be held in April 2012 in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. [ECPA Press Release][OAS-DSD Press Release]
