STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A reputed member of the Crips street gang from Mariners Harbor was caught with a loaded gun Wednesday afternoon, just a half mile away from where a man was shot earlier in the day, authorities allege.
Members of the NYPD's Staten Island Gang Squad stopped Quashawn Pace, 19, as he was driving on the corner of Hooker Place and Nicholas Avenue about 5:20 p.m.
The car stop took place about three hours after an unknown suspect shot a man five times in the legs on Treadwell Avenue, between Slaight Street and Richmond Terrace, Wednesday. Law enforcement sources said it's not clear if the arrest and the shooting were connected in any way.
Pace head a loaded Glock Model 19 .9mm handgun, loaded with 15 bullets, in his waistband, plus 12 pills of MDMA, more commonly referred to as ecstasy, in his pants pocket, police allege.
The 5-foot-7, 168-pound suspect told police, "I'm a little guy. I sell drugs. I need to defend myself," according to a law enforcement source.
Pace is charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and possession of ammunition, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan's office.

M.R. Templeton, J.A. Mattei (AAVSO)
The Mira and semiregular variables are pulsating stars in very advanced stages of evolution, and they exhibit a wide variety of pulsation behavior. It is suspected that a small number of these variables (including R Aql, R Hya, T UMi, and LX Cyg) are exhibiting large, secular period changes due to structural readjustments from recent thermal pulses. Analysis of secular period changes and other changes in pulsation behavior may therefore be useful in studies of the evolution of these stars. The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) International Database (ID) contains data on over 1500 Mira and semiregular variables. Data for these stars span nearly a century in some cases, making it possible to study the evolution of the pulsation behavior over time. We present preliminary results of a study of period change in these stars using data from the AAVSO ID, and discuss the consequences of our results on Mira and semiregular variable star evolution.

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has not been shy about the fact that he thinks he is the best at his position in the NFL.
"Yes, yes, yes," McCoy reiterated when asked earlier this month if he was the best back in the NFL. "Especially [over] the last three years."
McCoy's statements have not sat well with Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, who laughed off the idea McCoy was better.
"I definitely started laughing," Peterson said. "It was funny because when Stephen [A. Smith] asked him the question, you know, he kind of hesitated. If you watched it, you know he didn't believe it when he said it. So I've got to tell the youngsters, 'Next time, say it with your chest, man. Say it like you mean it!"
Well, there is one way McCoy can make Peterson stop laughing -- rush for more yards in a season than the Vikings running back ever has.
With over a month before training camp, the idea of whether or not McCoy could rush for more than the 2,097 yards Peterson did in 2012 is an interesting one to debate. Although only seven running backs have topped over 2,000 yards in the history of the NFL, McCoy enters next season with a legitimate argument that he could be able to do it.
During the 2012 season that Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards, he averaged 6.0 yards per carry. Peterson, who finished nine yards shy of the NFL record that season, reached his mark on 348 carries.
Last season, McCoy finished with 1,607 yards rushing -- well below the 2,000 yard mark. He did, however, average 5.1 yards per carry on 314 carries.
In fact, if you add in McCoy's 537 receiving yards, the Eagles running back finished with 2,146 total yards -- just 168 less yards than Peterson had rushing and receiving in 2012.
Last season, had McCoy carried the ball 348 times like Peterson, he would have finished just 323 yards behind Peterson's mark. If McCoy would have kept his 5.1 yards per carry average, and carried the ball just six more times per game, he would have matched Peterson's number.
Going into next season, some things will be working in McCoy's favor if his goal is to best Peterson's mark. McCoy should be playing with an improved offensive line, since tackle Lane Johnson will be entering his second season. He will also have a second year in Kelly's offense, and consistent play from the quarterback position after an up-and-down season last year should help.
What he has going against him is the departure of wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who helped to stretch the defense. It also sounds like running back Darren Sproles, who the team brought in from New Orleans, could take some carries. So McCoy might not even reach the 314 carries he did last season.
Still, McCoy seems determined to prove he is better than Peterson -- and if that means topping his single-season mark, anything is possible.

PSE lining up cable replacement projects
Puget Sound Energy is working to reduce the potential for cable failure that would affect Bellevue residents with one replacement project underway and another ready for permitting.
PSE contractor Potelco was about 500 feet into boring along Northeast 28th Place, Northeast 29th Place and 172nd Avenue Northeast on Tuesday for Phase One of a project to replace aging power cables in the Parkhaven neighborhood.
"It looks like this job is about 1,700 feet of trenching or boring, which is six cables that we're replacing," said Jeremy Tuntland, project manager. "The cable that we're replacing now are about 30 years old now, and they're inferior cables, from what I'm told."
Amperage won't change, but the cable replacements could last up to 50 years. The addition of a conduit also will allow for easier replacements in the future, said Tuntland.
Once the conduit piping is installed, Phase Two will involve running the replacement power cables through them and decommissioning the old lines. Tuntland said that will likely occur between March and April and require a five-hour power outage.
PSE is also preparing to submit design plans to the city for permitting a cable replacement project in the Crossroads neighborhood. Tuntland said the project will replace 80,000 feet of aging cable and Potelco hopes to start work on the project within the next three months.

The Senate voted 73-25 Wednesday for an amendment by Sen. David Vitter, R-La., that would continue a decade-old federal policy requiring nonworking, able-bodied public housing tenants to do eight hours of community service each month.
Vitter pushed for a vote on the amendment even after Democrats offered to approve it by voice vote because he said he wanted a strong vote to counter moves by some House members to do away with the requirement.
"The welfare reforms in the 1990s have received bipartisan praise for their effectiveness and have taught us an important lesson: People succeed when they are given the opportunity to make a personal investment in their community, " Vitter said. "This amendment simply puts back in place what has already been in the law since 1998 as part of those very popular, obviously effective welfare reforms."
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., opposed the Vitter amendment, saying that although community service is important, her Louisiana colleague is singling out one group of people who receive public benefits.
"Most people living in public housing are low-income individuals who are working hard to maintain their jobs in these difficult economic times, " Landrieu said. "Sen. Vitter chose not impose these community service requirements on bailout recipients or AIG executives who received millions of dollars in bonuses from taxpayer funds. Instead his amendment focused on struggling Americans in public housing. This approach is inequitable, and I could not support it."
Vitter said he believes the proposal is appropriate, given that the law provides for exemptions.
"I believe, when you consider the requirement, eight hours of community service per month, when you consider the exemptions for folks over 62, for folks who have any disability, for folks who are not able-bodied in any way, this public service requirement is truly minimal and thoroughly reasonable, " Vitter said.
Vitter said that based on data from congressional research, between 100,000 and 150,000 public housing tenants are affected by the community service requirement.
A spokesman for the Housing Authority of New Orleans didn't immediately respond to a request for information about how the plan has been implemented for the city's scaled-back population of public housing tenants.

PHILADELPHIA — For the seventh consecutive game, a Phillies starting pitcher went at least seven innings yesterday and not coincidentally they are 7-0 during that span.
The latest gem was the most concise, a two-hit 3-0 shutout by Cliff Lee (7-5) over the Florida Marlins at Citizens Bank Park that required only two hours and 21 minutes. The dissection capped a 9-2 homestand and four-game sweep of the Phils' interdivisional rivals in which they outscored the Fish 25-6.
Want the definition of pulling away from an opponent?
While the Fish have had to endure a 1-15 nightmare in June, the Phils have won 10 of 15, turning a two-game deficit into 11.5 gap in the National League East.
The victory lifted the Phils to a 5.5-game edge over second-place Atlanta pending last night's game with the Mets.
With Lee allowing only one run on the homestand (0.38 ERA in 24 innings) and Ryan Howard smoking his 16th homer of the season, a solo shot to left in the fifth off Florida's Javier Vazquez (3-7), the 44-26 Phils, who own the best record in baseball, are rolling like the juggernaut.
"We're playing very well and the way we've been playing it doesn't matter where we're going," said left fielder Raul Ibanez as the team prepared to make a transcontinental flight to Seattle, their first trip there since 2005.
"You've gotta win wherever you go," added Howard, who has 11 RBIs in his last 11 games. "We've gotta continue to do the things we've been doing."
Those things include getting contributions from the bottom third of their lineup. In Wednesday's opener of a day-night doubleheader, the bottom third reached base four times and scored twice.
In the nightcap, No. 8 hitter Carlos Ruiz drove home the winning run in the 10th inning. Then yesterday, Lee broke up a scoreless duel in the fourth with a long RBI double, scoring No. 8 hitter Michael Martinez, who spelled Chase Utley at second base.
"As pitchers we're not expected to hit, but you get one here and there," said Lee modestly as he is 8-for-his last 20 at the plate, including yesterday's 2-for-4 contribution. "I try to take it seriously and help the team win."
Vazquez took the Phils seriously and masterfully worked out of jams in the first three innings, stranding five. But as was the case all series, the Phils drove his pitch count up and eventually chipped away. Howard's homer in the fifth made it 2-0 and Jimmy Rollins' RBI double made it 3-0 in the sixth, more than enough on a day Lee was allowing only a Mike Stanton single in the fifth, Logan Morrison single in the seventh and two walks.

OWEN SOUND - The Plymouth Whalers deserved a better fate on Wednesday in Owen Sound.
Attack goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped 42-of-44 shots as the game's first star to lead the Owen Sound Attack to a 4-2 victory over the Whalers before 2,577 fans and scouts from 18 National Hockey League teams at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound.
Owen Sound is now 6-1-0-1 and has the best record in the Ontario Hockey League. Plymouth is now 2-2-1-1.
Daniel Catenacci (4th), second star Kurtis Gabriel (2nd), Joseph Blandisi (3rd) and Cameron Brace (7th on the empty net) all scored for Owen Sound, who led 1-0 after one period and 3-1 after forty minutes.
Rickard Rakell (4th) and Cody Payne (5th) replied for the Whalers.
But Binnington - a St. Louis draft with Blues scouts watching intently from the stands on Wednesday - was the difference, especially in the first two periods when the Whalers were their most dangerous.
Plymouth outshot Owen Sound, 13-7, in the first period, but Catenacci scored the only goal of the frame on a power play at 5:11, re-directing Chris Bigras' shot from high slot that went intentionally wide of the Plymouth goal and caromed off the ball wall. Catenacci - stationed at the right goal line - beat Whalers starting goaltender Riley Corbin with the shot.
The Whalers continued to presure Owen Sound in the second period, outshooting the Attack, 21-9, but Binnington was the difference. He stoned Plymouth's Stefan Noesen at the left post roughly 6:40 into the second period and the Attack went down and scored on the next rush on a two-on-one when Gabriel converted Holden Cook's feed in front of the Plymouth goal to give Owen Sound a 2-0 lead 6:53 into the second period.
Rakell finally broke through on a Plymouth power play at 8:45, accepting Ryan Hartman's pass from the lower rim of the right circle in Attack territory and ripping a shot from the left circle past Binnington. But 24 seconds later, Blandisi worked by Rakell along the right boards in the Plymouth zone, bulled his way through traffic in front of the Whalers goal and powered the puck past Corbin at 9:09 to give the Attack a 3-1 lead.
At that point, Plymouth head coach Mike Vellucci pulled Corbin in favor ofMatt Mahalak. Corbin stopped 10-of-13 shots in 29:09; Mahalak stopped all 16 shots he faced the rest of the game.
The Whalers appeared to cut the Owen Sound to 3-2 at 8:40 of the third period when Alex Aleardi redirected Austin Levi's shot from the point past Binnington. But after a lengthy video review, referees Ryan Carroll and Mike Marley ruled that Aleardi's stick was above the Owen Sound cross-bar and therefore, no goal.
Payne came back to cut the Plymouth deficit to 3-2 at 13:33, snapping a shot from the left hashmark by Binnington. Payne has scored in four straight games and has scored in five of first six Plymouth games this season.
Trailing 3-2 with 1:25 remaining, Vellucci called time out and pulled Mahalak. But Brace picked up a loose puck along the right boards and scored on the empty net at 18:50 to close out the scoring.
Plymouth outshot Owen Sound, 44-30.
The Whalers remain on the road Friday in London (7:20 pm,www.plymouthwhalers.com) before returning home Saturday to face Sault Ste. Marie at 7:05 pm at Compuware Arena.

It just doesn't cut it anymore.
Sweet Home Alabama?
Nah. It's just not retro enough.
These days, Alabama needs a brand new brand.
Because 2011 has changed everything in this state. It has ticked back our clocks, brought us deja vu like we never knew.
Whether it was Sen. Scott Beason calling black people aborigines, or the same Scott Beason sponsoring the immigration law that has turned Hispanics into refugees, we now know for sure this is not your daddy's Alabama.
Not anymore.
This is more like ... your granddaddy's Alabama.
Now that's a slogan.
Better, I guess, than Y'all vamonos now, y'hear!
With all that in mind, here are a dozen possible travel and tourism slogans for this new and "improved" Alabama.
12. Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We'll send those peckerwoods back where they belong.
This is Alabama, after all. We don't need no stinkin' huddled masses.
11. Sweet Home Alabama. Where the skies are blue and your card better be green.
No Alabama list would be complete without a Lynyrd Skynyrd reference somewhere.
Alabama's Gulf Coast beaches desperately need a new slogan. Especially since last year's catch phrase -- Not as oily as you think!-- turned out to be less successful than hoped.
We can go with something like ...
10. Find your beach on Alabama's Gulf Coast. Just bring a towel. And sunscreen. And your papers.
We can give a shout out to our friends at Mercedes:
9. Willkommen to Alabama! Oh, never mind.
And that "Dirty Jobs" guy, Mike Rowe, seemed to touch a nerve when he shot all those "Go Build Alabama" commercials. Those would be easy enough to edit for our not-so-brave new world:
8. Go build Alabama. Go build somewhere else.
Then again, we might want to keep it simple:
7. Welcome to Alabama. Unless you're not from Alabama.
6. And in this town, it might be time to retire that old Birm-IN-ham campaign. It's time to keep it real, to revel in what we are and where we are. Bir-MEAN-ham sounds right. Right up there with Hunts(you down)ville and (Better stay)Mobile.
There is ...
5. Alabama: The heartless of dixie.
Because it turns out we were so close all along.
4. Stars fell on Alabama. And we sent 'em back where they came from.
Or ...
3. Alabama. We dare defend our wrongs.
2. We can look all over for inspiration. Atlanta, after all, has boomed for decades with that mantra from the '60s: "Atlanta -- the city too busy to hate." We'd have to update it a little for use here: Alabama -- we're never too busy.
But the No. 1 new Alabama tourism slogan is a simple one:
Don't just study the civil rights struggle. Come to Alabama. And live it.

Baldwin County is planning to ask for more than $1 million in BP grant money to build a boat launch facility at Live Oak Landing.
The money will be used for a boat house, boat ramp, boat lift, a gravel road and floating piers. The grant money also will be used to construct parking areas.
Alabama Marine Police officers assigned to north Baldwin County will make use of the boat house and boat lift.
The BP funds are being administered by the Alabama Emergency Management Agency.
The county plans to ask for $1,474,547 in grant funds. The county estimates the cost of the project will be $1,520,420.
Baldwin County plans to make up the difference with county funds.
"We feel like this a great opportunity for our master plan," said Cal Markert, county engineer. "We certainly hope we can get this grant awarded and get to work."

Nice clean rooms with a good hearty breakfast, fast delivery of food after order.
Far too quiet of an evening bar not open, too far to go somewhere else, the pool was full of kids jumping in and out unsupervised. Drink too expensive. Poor choice of TV considering middle of nowhere , also tried to play golf shop never open, do they do club hire? never got chance to find out! Was a real shame should be a great hotel put felt staff and hotel in gen just going through the process, should be top hotel but need to get some atmosphere and happiness about the place.
The room service was superb, very friendly staff. Would stay there again
very clean looked after the wedding party very well food is excellent night porter was very helpfull wold defineitly recoomand for wedding
i thought the charge of 55euro for a mattress on the floor for a child was very high
Period building which has character & charisma. Food was excellent & staff were friendly.
Shower unit difficult to operate & long wait for hot water. Breakfast(hot) meal took 25 mins to arrive, although I had stated a 7:45am time!
staff friendly food good rooms very clean late bar very good will stay their again
The bar food was really excellent !
The hotel has insufficient non smoking rooms (only 4 out of 29 rooms. I had to take the best smoking room they had which was reasonably odour free.
Nice country location, good size rooms and comfortable beds, decent staple food but not much imagination. The remote for the TV was very quirky, so much so we didnt use it. Nice tea and coffee. Good place if you are into fox hunting.
Some of the accomodation away from main house so no chance I could put high heels on Valentine's night, the bar /dining room area was always crouded and no enough space to sit down and have coffee. Worst was when I had fever and the receptionist said they dont have paracetamol or thermometer for guests on health and safety grounds.... It didn't feel right to be treated like 3-year old or mentally retarded, I just needed help there and then but did not get it and spent the night without sleep. They did offer a doctor, but we would hardly would had got one on Sunday night....
Facilities and location excellent. No compromise on quality nor comfort. Discreet but efficient staff and for large number, offered great value for money.
Accomodation was excellent & modern
First impression was one of cleanliness, efficiency and friendliness. Room was immaculate, and good size. Food was excellent and service great.
Only issue we had were people in the corridor during the night talking loudly and making noise.
We only stayed one night, but found it excellent for our needs. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was as good as you would expect in a five star hotel.
wedding service
washbasin in bathroom not emtying.. shower pressure weak
The hotel has a wonderful view of Trim Castle and the staff couldn't do enough for us.
We enjoyed our stay the staff were friendly and the decor of the hotel was lovely.The food was also nice and room service on time.
The shower/bath curtain was to short water every where.
The reception & communal areas are homely and nice with plenty of seating. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wi-fi is free.
The wi-fi in the bar area kept dropping out which was frustrating; the lady at reception informed me later that there is not a good signal in there and its best to use it in the communal areas or rooms, despite the barman telling me it was available in the bar. It was fine in my room.
It was exactly as advertised and the host couldn't be more gracious. Perfect night stay. Hosts drew a map to everything we wanted to see and everywhere we might want to go in town. Plenty of parking.
Everything was great

There is snow and there is snow. (Ask a cross country skier.) Dry powder has lots of air in it, which gets partly compacted out after a while. Wet snow has liquid water mixed in, etc. Ken, There are two effects to worry about. The biggest problem would be RF absorption (loss), which would be worse for higher liquid water content IMO. The other issue is dielectric constant. Ice and water have high "epsilon" - which means that your antenna will be detuned. (Apparently not an issue if your SWR is OK.) It also means that you would get some change in antenna patterns because you have a layer of (somewhat) lossy dielectric (snow) over your normal ground. Ground is still ground, but the snow will dissipate some of your power, and your antenna pattern will change somewhat. It could be modeled, if you know the properties of your snow. 73 Martin AA6E Ken Kinyon wrote: > Is anyone aware of any studies done on the effect of ground snow on the RF > reflectivity of the soil underneath the snow? > It is not usual for the front range of Colorado to have significant snow on > the > ground for any significant length of time. > However since two feet of snow fell shortly before Christmas, We have had at > least another foot and most of it is still here although compacted > significantly.

The Queen must save more money and think of ways of boosting her income, a committee of MPs says in a report published today.
The Royal Household is also condemned for failing to do enough to stop Palace buildings and other parts of the royal estate from falling into a dangerously poor state of disrepair.
However, the Treasury is criticised in turn by the Public Accounts Committee for not playing its part in helping the Queen to economise.

The Philadelphia Eagles (3-3) will host the Dallas Cowboys (3-3) on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. The winner will have sole possession of first-place in the NFC East.
The Birds have won two-straight games, albeit against teams without a win so far this season.
Philadelphia has leaned on quarterback Nick Foles in both of the victories. Foles came in during the Giants game for an injured Michael Vick and engineered the win. He started last week and led the Eagles past Tampa Bay.
Foles is expected to start again on Sunday with Vick not feeling game-ready.
Kick-off is set for 1:00 on Sunday.

I am very curious to see. The only guess I would have about controls is similar to Zelda controls. You would probably use Z to roll up in a ball and spin.
Two new Sonic games coming out for the Wii. Nice. I am a big fan of sonic as many other people are.
1.What do you guys expect from the next gen. Sonic for the Wii?
2.What characters would you like to see?(Any new characters that are playable that weren't featured in previous Sonic games)
3.How would you like to use the wiimote in this game?
4.How do you think they are making the wiimote controls?
5.Which Sonic are you getting? Rapid Fire Or Secret Rings.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - A troubling trend is being seen among American males under age 35: In the last decade or so, there has been a sharp decline of men going to college. Suicide rates among boys is four times higher than girls. And many sons of divorced parents are growing up without a male figure in the home.
A growing number of academics troubled by this picture hope to bring attention to the issue at the university level. Dr. Miles Groth, a psychology professor at Wagner College, is one who's leading the way.
Two years ago, he established a men's group at the Grymes Hill school for young men to come together and talk about the issues plaguing today's male.
This fall, he's helping to establish a men's center at Wagner. According to Dr. Groth, it will be the only one of its kind operating. (There was one at St. John's University in Minnesota, which closed recently.) In addition to providing support to males on campus, the center also will help set up men's centers at other colleges.
Dr. Groth is on the board of trustees of the Foundation for Male Studies (malestudies.org), a nonprofit organization that, as one its goals, is working to form the first male studies major in the country.
"There is something called the men studies program and that's been around for 30 years. But they've been more interested in advocacy for somewhat older men and haven't focused in on this younger age group," Dr. Groth said, adding, a new curriculum will focus on both boys and grown men.
"We're interested in what I'm calling the deep experience of being a boy, being a male," he said. "This hasn't been explored."
In response to criticism that much of the current curriculum at colleges already is focused on men, Dr. Groth said that what is taught today only represents a "tiny, tiny number of powerful men.
"They're not about most men," he continued. "They're about a small group of men who have been powerful throughout history and into our own time."
He said the curriculum the Foundation hopes to create will center on the average male, not the elite, powerful ones.
Dr. Groth said at this time a couple of schools are being approached to establish the first male studies major. The Foundation is seeking a $2.5 million grant from a well-known company, which he is not at liberty to name, to help pave the way, monetarily.
Interest in a male studies program has been gaining global attention for about a decade.
In April, Wagner College hosted a conference, "Male Studies: A New Academic Discipline," that was video recorded and streamed live online. Scholars from across the world – Brazil, Australia, the United Kingdom and Russia – participated in the program that examined the declining state of men and what a male studies program should look like.
Dr. Groth said he wants the major to be interdisciplinary and is hoping for full participation from professors in the anthropology, biology, economics, law, medicine, psychology and other departments.
"We have the highest hopes within the next two years the first major in male studies will be in place somewhere," he said, adding he'd be "delighted" if Wagner was chosen to be the first.
Dr. Groth, who is available to speak to groups on the topic, may be reached at email@example.com.

Crash on U.S. 62
Goshen Police Chief Steve McDaniel examines wreckage from a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 62 at Duck Creek Road at 3 p.m. Tuesday. The roadway was closed for over an hour following the crash. According to the highway patrol, an eastbound pickup attempted to pass an eastbound vehicle stopped to turn north onto Duck Creek Road and struck a westbound jeep head-on. Both vehicles traveled off the north side of the roadway, the jeep rolling once and ejecting the driver through the top. Both drivers were lifeflighted to St. Elizabeth's Health Center with unspecified injuries. The highway patrol is investigating and Goshen police assisted. Damascus EMS responded.

Conway Twitty, It's Only Make Believe
This show is no longer active
At RFD-TV The Theatre, 4080 W Highway 76 (intersection of 76 & 376, formerly the Ray Stevens & Country Tonite Theatre).
Back in 2009 - by popluar demand!
A two-act musical, Conway Twitty, It's Only Make Believe, is filled with unforgettable music, humor, true emotion and brilliant performances. This is the story of Conway told through the eyes of his children...the ones who just called him Dad. Over 30 of Conway's hits are featured and performed by singer and actor Glen Templeton who was cast to portray Conway after an exhaustive national talent search. Loretta Lynn, portrayed by Emily Portman, joins Conway onstage for their unforgettable duets.
You'll hear hits including: Hello Darlin, Goodbye Time, Don't Cry Joni, Crazy In Love, Louisian Woman - Mississippi Man (written by Branson's Jim Owen), That's My Job, Slow Hand, Desperado Love, I'd Love To Lay You Down, The Rose and It's Only Make Believe.
This is the story of his successes in early Rock 'n Roll and R&B that ends with Conway Twitty becoming a pure Country Music Legend - all the while balancing his career and family, and making it all work.
This tribute performance is on the very stage that Conway Twitty had his final performance before his untimely passing in 1993. The theater was the Ray Stevens Theatre at the time.
Shows are at 3 or 8 pm October 19-24, 2009.
Historical notes for Conway Twitty, It's Only Make Believe: Its Branson debut was October 22-25, 2008.

New Orleans voters last fall approved a process to create a city master plan and opted to give the finished product the force of law.
Hundreds of citizens have taken part in planning sessions, and additional public hearings are required before the City Planning Commission and the City Council approve the plan.
But some state legislators are trying to undermine the voters' mandate, by proposing bills requiring that a master plan be put on the ballot.
As the Bureau of Governmental Research and other good government groups have pointed out, the proposals go against the principle of home rule. They also would create a potentially unending process in which politicians and special interest groups try to undermine a meaningful master plan. That could result in repeated plans being shot down on the ballot until voters approve a watered down version that fails to address the city's urgent needs.
The Legislature should stay away from the process New Orleanians created. Lawmakers can begin by rejecting Senate Bill 75, set to be heard today by the House Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs. The measure, by Sen. Ed Murray of New Orleans, would require voters' approval for New Orleans' master plan.
Lawmakers also should reject House Bills 305 and 698, by Reps. Charmaine Marchand Stiaes and Cedric Richmond, respectively. Those proposals would mandate voter approval for any master plan in any parish or municipality, meaning Baton Rouge would effectively dictate a process that's best left to each community.
New Orleanians voted to create a master plan and to make it law because many land use decisions in the past have been made based on political whim, resulting in an inconsistent and unfair process.
Opponents of the process continue to argue, as they did in last fall's election, that voters did not have a draft of the master plan when they decided to give it the force of law. Voters already considered and rejected that argument, approving a process that gives them plenty of chances to participate and make their feelings known.
If some lawmakers have concerns about the details of the master plan, they should get involved in the planning sessions and public hearings to ensure their views are considered -- instead of looking for a way to get around what voters decided last fall.

Christie's lack of empathy
If Gov. Chris Christie's child were in need of medical marijuana for relief from a disease similar to Vivian Wilson's ("Mercy, interrupted," editorial, Aug. 17), rest assured he would move heaven and earth to obtain it.
There is an old Yiddish saying, "Auf yennims tuchis es iz grienk tsu schmizen," which roughly translated means: When you beat the other guy hard on the butt, it is easy as you don't feel it.

The goal of tuition-free college
I just had to write when I read "College for free," (Perspective, Aug. 18). I grew up in Queens and was able to attend college for free in the early 1950s.
At that time, New York had a number of tuition-free colleges: Brooklyn, City, Queens and Hunter. Since they were distributed throughout the boroughs, one could commute daily to attend class. There were no dorms. You had to have a good average in high school to be accepted. I received a superb education. Quite a few of my friends attended those colleges, as we were from families who could not afford such a luxury. We were all good students.
I became a teacher and earned a master's degree. I had two female friends — one became a doctor, the other a lawyer, which at that time was most unusual.
Those colleges lifted many second- and third-generation children far above the level of their parents.

Want my Al Jazeera
I started watching the English-language version of Al Jazeera online because of my interest in Middle Eastern news. I have found Al Jazeera to be the best available source of TV news on Africa, Asia and the Middle East, better than BBC or EuroNews, and much better than PBS or Fox or NBC or ABC.
It is staffed heavily by former BBC journalists, who were let go when the BBC canceled its Middle East service.
Contrary to a widespread stereotype in this country, Al Jazeera is not a radical Islamic organization. This can be seen by viewing the channel for a couple of days and also by visiting the Al Jazeera page on Wikipedia.
I hope my provider, Optimum, will join Comcast and DirecTV and give its viewers access to a very strong source of international news.
E.J. Heinemann, Metuchen
Who's he talking to?
Gov. Chris Christie is not running for governor; he is running for president.
He cannot govern effectively in New Jersey when he is constantly out of state raising money. And he is making decisions based on his anticipated presidential run. A recent poll shows 96 percent of New Jersey residents want strong gun control laws. He recently tabled or vetoed several new restrictions on gun control.
He has been dragging his feet on medical marijuana, even though it was approved by the voters, and delayed a decision to allow edible marijuana to help save a child. He also has been closing clinics for woman's health because they are associated with Planned Parenthood.
The governor should be ashamed of himself for trying to placate people of other states and forgetting what the people of New Jersey want and need.

Pay for imprisonment
Valentino Ianetti of Stanhope spent three years in pretrial detention before the county prosecutor asked for dismissal of charges that Ianetti murdered his wife, who Ianetti maintains took her own life ("In jail for years in wife's slaying, man freed as charges dropped," Aug. 16). Despite being presumed innocent, anyone held in jail before trial is likely to face serious effects.
Besides losing work and income, possible consequences include permanent job loss, loss of their home for being unable to pay the mortgage or rent, and children being placed in foster care. Defendants have to pay their attorneys, as well.
People who face these consequences and are later acquitted, or have their charges dismissed, deserve compensation.

Stop-and-frisk kinship
Several years ago, as I was leaving a store, I was stopped by two plainclothes detectives and escorted to the back office. A clerk suspected me of shoplifting. I was told to empty my handbag and pockets. Finding nothing, they gave me a brief apology and I was allowed to leave.
A minor incident, to be sure. The damage, however, was major. I felt demoralized, violated, humiliated and angry. And I wasn't even frisked. For the first time, those whom I'd viewed as protectors had become my enemy. I realized how it felt to be unjustly accused and on the wrong side of the law.
According to an Aug. 19 Star-Ledger article ("NYPD boss: Stop-and-frisk ruling will hurt minorities"), 87 percent of those patted down under stop-and-frisk have been black or Hispanic. About 10 percent result in arrest or summons, and police find weapons a fraction of the time. This means thousands of minorities are unjustly accused every day.
A law that treats minorities as if all are guilty creates distrust and rage, not only against law enforcement, but also toward the larger community that doesn't experience the same discrimination.

Chores for Devils owners
Now that the Devils have new ownership, perhaps under the leadership of the new owner, the team can really become a part of the Newark community.
First, pay its water bill. And, it would be excellent public relations if the Devils would support the Newark Public Free Library, which is in dire straights.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
The Arcis-Vocalisten München consists of 50 vocalists from the Academy of Theater and Music in Munich. All have extensive experience in renowned Munich and Bavarian ensembles. Professor Thomas Gropper, the ensemble's Artistic Director, is known not only from his vocal and teaching activities, but also as moderator and speaker at the Bavarian Radio Broadcasting Company. This CD consists of two early cantatas by J.S. Bach. "Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu Dir" is probably the earliest existing Bach cantata, written in 1707-1708, while Bach was an organist in Mühlhausen. + BWV 182, "Himmelskönig, sei willkommen" was Bach's first commissioned work at the Weimar court, where he was required to compose one cantata each month, and was premiered on Palm Sunday of 1714.
Thomas Gropper's temperate direction serves the music well. The choral singing is nicely burnished and admirably precise... .the overall impression is positive. The featured (but unnamed) wind soloists - the oboe in No. 131 and the recorder in No. 182 - are especially fine, more reasons to give the disc your consideration. In all, an excellent 131; a good 182.

The 13 assists that Michael Carter-Williams dished out in Syracuse's 87-51 win over Colgate on Sunday at the Carrier Dome may seem like a lot, until compared with Sherman Douglas' school record.
Douglas amassed 22 assists against Providence back in the 1988-89 season.
"That's a tough game,'' Carter-Williams said of Douglas' all-time mark. "He's a great player. His teammates were probably scorching hot. That'd be a nice record to break one day.''
For a while, it looked like Sunday was going to be that day.
Carter-Williams, Syracuse's 6-foot-6 sophomore point guard, assisted on eight of Syracuse's first nine baskets. He found James Southerland for an open 3-pointer. He connected with Rakeem Christmas on a lob pass. He drove the baseline and fed C.J. Fair for an easy bucket.
He passed more than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning put together.
Carter-Williams finished the first half with nine assists. He finished the game with 13 assists and just one turnover.
"Michael's doing a great job of finding open guys,'' SU coach Jim Boeheim said. "He's really playing as well as any point guard we've had in a long time in terms of getting the ball to people and making plays for other people. Even when there's not a play there, he's making plays there for them.''
Syracuse improved to 4-0 for the season, while Colgate dropped to 3-4. The game marked Syracuse's 47th straight win against Colgate.
Southerland, who established a career-best with 22 points in SU's win over Princeton on Wednesday, led Syracuse with 18 points against Colgate. After the game, though, Southerland felt compelled to apologize to Carter-Williams.
"I actually apologized to him because I could have gotten him four or five assists,'' Southerland said. "The ball went in and out of the basket."
Brandon Triche scored 15 points, freshman center Dajuan Coleman scored 12 points to go with his seven rebounds. Christmas added 10 points and nine boards for the Orange
No Colgate player reached double-figures.
Carter-Williams' 13 assists came up one shy of the third-highest total in Syracuse history.
Douglas' 22 assists ties the NCAA's all-time record. Pearl Washington had 18 against St. John's in the 1983-84 season.
Five players – Douglas (twice), Washington, Jason Hart, Eddie Moss and Michael Lloyd – had games with 14 assists.
But, more so than his 13 assists, Carter-Williams was more pleased with his single turnover.
"I've had a few that I haven't been too proud of and I wasn't happy about the one turnover either,'' said Carter-Williams, who also had eight points, six rebounds and four steals on Sunday. "I was trying to limit those turnovers.''
Through Syracuse's first four games this season, Carter-Williams has compiled 35 assists against just 11 turnovers.
"He's been terrific,'' SU assistant coach Gerry McNamara said. "He's got such a great feel right now. I think it's slowed down for him. He's making such perfect reads. He's breaking the defense down. He's being more patient when he gets in the paint. He's picking it apart. His feel for the game right now is as good as I've seen.''
Carter-Williams' first major test, however, will come later this week.
Syracuse's next game is against Arkansas in the Big East/SEC Challenge on Friday in Fayetteville, Ark. The Razorbacks are coached by Mike Anderson, a disciple of former Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson. Anderson employs an uptempo style known as "The Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball,'' which is a modification of Richardson's famed "40 Minutes of Hell'' defense.
"It's going to be a great test,'' Carter-Williams said of the game at Arkansas. "It's going to be a good experience for me and my teammates. I think we're all ready for it. I'm really excited for it.''
Arkansas (3-2) will be coming off losses to Arizona State and Wisconsin in the Las Vegas Classic.
"Arkansas is very difficult at home,'' Boeheim said. "They've lost two road games, but they're a different team at home. Any pressing is always much more difficult to play on their home court. That'll be a real test for us Friday.''
However, Carter-Williams won't be taking the test alone. Triche figures to help with the ball-handling chores. Breaking Arkansas' press will put pressure on all of Syracuse's ball-handlers.
"I'll be handling the ball a lot more than I did today without the pressure,'' Triche said. "He was able to do that today and not expend a lot of energy. Arkansas is going to come at you with two and sometimes three guys. I'm going to help him out. Our wings are capable dribblers as well.''
Still, the way Carter-Williams has been playing, the Orange would be wise to keep the ball in his hands.
"He's playing the position as well as you can play it,'' Boeheim said. "Getting the ball to people and making plays. Good decisions. I think he had one turnover. He had one bad play today, that's it.''

Comment on Keyboard Maestro
While long-time King-of-the-Mac-Macro Hill, QuicKeys, was slowly eroding from lack of maintenance, Stairways Software was perfecting its flagship program, Keyboard Maestro.
Over the years QKs had developed into an extremely powerful and useful tool, but began to feel like it was just adding odd peg-boards to hang new tools from. It just became too ungainly and slow in all respects.
Keyboard Maestro's developer seems to have gotten all the functionality that Mac users have come to expect in a hotkey program -- and yet kept it lean and fast. Once you get used to the macro assembly process in KM, you can put them together almost second nature, and once in operation, they run like they're part of the app in play, rather than a tool that's called in from out on the sidelines.
The trial is generous and full-functioning. Just be careful how many macros you put together during it; it becomes just too hard to give 'em up when the trial ends. That's what happened to me!

FLEMINGTON — The east side of the 1845 Doric House Museum at 114 Main St. here is under rehabilitation and preservation by Eckelmann Brothers Construction Co. of Ringoes for the Hunterdon County Historical Society.
Funds to repair the roof and window sills for the project come from a grant from the 1772 Foundation, based in Connecticut.
A matching donation from Exxon Mobil and other donations from anonymous private citizens will complete the Doric job.
Water damage required the replacement of siding on the back of the house. To maintain the historic character, 100-year-old wood was cut to match the original board sizes, which is different from what is used today. A second-story porch added in the 1940s when the building had apartments is being demolished and siding continued over that area. An original first-level porch, enclosed in the 1940s, is being sided with HardiPlank for long life. Existing window sills, doors and casings will be repaired. Three levels of roofs will be replaced with painted metal, flashings and counter flashings. Federal standards and guidelines for the preservation of historic buildings is being followed for all work.
Original benefactor of the 1772 Foundation was Stewart B. Kean, a wealthy man who lived in Delaware Township in the 1970s and 1980s. Before his death he was chairman of the board of KCS Energy in Houston, which was in the natural gas and crude oil. He also had been a director of Sovereign Bank Corp. and NUI-Elizabethtown Gas and president of NUI's Utility Propane.
The Hunterdon County Historical Society was founded in 1885. It purchased the Doric House in 1969 and after restoring its Greek Revival elegance, opened it to the public in 1970. The house is open the next two weekends, Dec. 10-11 and 17-18 from noon to 4 p.m. to view holiday decorations created by the Community Garden Club of Hunterdon County and the Hunterdon Hills Garden Club.

A Florida man was arrested and charged with a sex offense for allegedly dancing out of a car sunroof in Sarasota County and exposing himself to the 3 worst possible witnesses. A 10-year-old, a grandmother and a sheriff's deputy! At the time, Jacob Timmer was "heavily intoxicated." After Timmer was arrested and taken to jail, he said, "I know, I screwed up," and was charged with lewd or lascivious exhibition to a victim under the age of 16 according to his affidavit. He was also cited for violating seat belt law.
An Orange City woman has been accused of trying to shoplift seven lobster tails from a Publix by stuffing them down her pants. According to police, the 30-year-old planned to swap the shellfish with a friend for a pass to a Chinese buffet. Reed also said that she might have attempted to trade the tails for Dilaudid, a painkiller. The Chinese food was put on hold as Reed was charged with theft from a merchant and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail.
Cameron Read's girlfriend called Prescott Valley police after he allegedly fired several shots and "spoke of seeing Halley's Comet," the Republic reported. When police arrived, the 39-year-old resisted arrest, caused damage and was taken into custody forcefully. Read said that he had smoked marijuana prior to the incident and that he did not intend to hurt anyone he was just trying to shoot the moon. Read was booked on suspicion of felony counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and endangerment in addition to a count of misdemeanor criminal damage.

This article was first published in the June 2012 International edition of Accounting and Business magazine.
The answer to this question has been at the top of the agenda of every managing partner (MP) we have worked with in our 20-year association with professional service firms. To answer the question and add to our anecdotal experience, we interviewed 150 practising and managing partners from accounting, law and consulting firms across Europe and the US.
Our model of what successful managing partners do describes the behaviours under four broad headings: setting direction, gaining commitment, execution and personal example. Each of the broad headings has a number of specific behaviours under it and, in this short article, we'll highlight the behaviours from the model we believe are key. The fifth element, context, we'll return to at the end of the article.
Create a compelling vision and get the partners on board
With so many firms trying to do broadly the same thing and with differentiation in professional services only achieved through delivery, how the vision is delivered is the critical element. And, as the partners are the people who ultimately deliver the vision, they must be brought onside, which means involving them in the debate and decision-making process.
No MP should attempt to do everything and this is especially true when it comes to making sure the partners are onside. In every example we heard about, the MPs who succeeded in generating the commitment and participation of their partners started by getting the firm's influential partners onside first and using them to influence the other partners. This is especially important in multi-office/multi-country situations, when it is impossible for the MP to attend all of the partner meetings and engage in every debate about the right course of action. And, these debates must take place. In the truly successful firms, the partners were always involved in the discussions about the firm's future. Sometimes the discussions were easy, often they weren't, but, critically, at the end of the discussions, the partners 'walked together' and focused as a group on delivering the vision (even though individual partners disagreed with some elements of the plans).
One of the key behaviours in the engagement process is to keep repeating the message about why and how. As all of the highly regarded managing partners said to us, 'by the time you're absolutely fed up of hearing yourself saying the same thing, the partners will just about have got it'. In nearly every firm we know, the partners prefer to focus their attention on serving their clients and not get involved in any firm-based activities, but when the managing partner is trying to ensure the firm is and remains 'best in class' they must keep the partners focused on the bigger picture.
Focus on the people who want to go with you
In too many firms managing partners focus on the people who don't want to go with them, rather than those who do. In doing this, they inevitably reduce enthusiasm and momentum. The natural temptation in a partnership is to focus on the whole, but all of the research on creating and sustaining change argues strongly for the opposite. In lots of initiatives we know, the managing partners have started with only about half of the partners clearly with them – but, crucially, they had clear plans about how to raise that figure quickly through their own efforts and those of the influential partners who were supporting the initiative.
Help the partners to be effective leaders
As stated earlier, the partners are the people who make the vision a reality and, in our experience, a lot of partners struggle in their role as owners and leaders. So one of the key tasks of any MP (and it's what the successful MPs spent lots of time on) is helping their partners be better leaders. That means dedicating a lot of personal time to talking to the partners about their role, how they are doing and how the firm can help them. It is a time-consuming task, but all of the partners we spoke to said that the truly successful MPs knew the importance of the task, gave their time freely, and ensured the partners received the help they needed.
Never accept second best
Not every firm can be the market leader, but every firm can have a reputation for being outstanding at everything it does. The successful MPs understood this and never settled for second best, always exhorting the partners to find new and better ways of doing things. All of the MPs were trying to create a situation where challenge was a natural part of their firm's culture – but that never meant sacrificing things that were crucial to the firm and what it stood for.
Take tough people decisions
The need for the managing partner to deal with underperformance came up in every discussion. Underperformance needs to be dealt with in line with the firm's values and the individuals given help and support to turn things around. However, if they don't, the successful MPs recognised the negative impact across the firm of not dealing with the issue.
Appoint the right person for the circumstances
One of the things that great MPs do is plan their succession, which brings us back to context. While there are undoubtedly some people who can do everything regardless of the challenge, in our experience most people can't. So the challenge for MPs is to develop a number of potential successors capable of addressing the different issues the firm is likely to face in the future – then choose the right one.

War of the WordsFebruary 23, 2010
Larson's paper centers around the rhetoric of invasion biology. He argues that many biologists attempt to disseminate their findings by strategically using words that relate invasive species and human counter-measure efforts to invasion plans of foreign countries. By using such words, he feels that the wrong messages about invasive species are being sent to the public (i.e. the American public and U.S. Congress) and cause the general populace to consider control efforts in "a militaristic framework…" (Larson 2005). He also feels that their informality detracts from good science. Larson says such thinking is counter-productive, as a war-like approach will not succeed because human intervention is ultimately the main source of invasive species.
After sifting through our past class materials, I came across the article on mute swans. The title: Deeply Divided Panel Backs Eradication of Mute Swans. Immediately, the word "eradication" struck me as militaristic (Halsey 2009). Had the author wanted to just write an article about the declining swan population, a word such as removal or euthanization could be used. However, this word choice grabs the readers attention as an attack on the swans. The phrase "formidable threat" continues the description of the mute swan (Halsey 2009). Better yet, the article furthers its combative stance with this invader by stating a Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources panel convened to "review its eradication program" (Halsey 2009). Why does such a belligerent stance seem so commonplace? Whether we like it or not, humans hold a innate propensity for war. Since my birth, America has engaged in several armed conflicts, and has spent very little time at peace. It would seem as though these aggressive words (or more likely, this aggressive behavior) have made their way from the battlefield to the homefront, and by extension the classroom, laboratory, dorm room, and dinner table. The first things that grab our attention are usually sensational, emotion-provoking words and images. By casting a certain invasive species as the worst thing to ever happen to an area, a researcher or reporter is almost guaranteed to gain public recognition (and often funding to conduct more research or implement a control plan). In stark contrast, the odds of a scientist gaining public recognition outside his/her field of a paper or recommendation without using militaristic words are extremely low. We are too conditioned to think like soldiers (in this sense), and often ignore anything that we don't perceive to be a threat.
Even though we hold a natural tendency to fight anything we consider detrimental, it is ultimately our own fault for the introduction of invasive species. While such metaphors are problematic when it comes to formality, they do bring a large, rapid response from the intended audience. During the Maryland snakehead scare, many of my friends and neighbors became incredibly frightened by this Chinese "superfish." However, the public outcry allowed for the rapid approval of snakehead removal efforts. Thus, the response provoked by using militaristic references are almost always unparalleled.
