A trip to the 'winterless north' is not over until the kiwi sings, finds Helen van Berkel.
Our guide, Peter Clark of the Hokianga Express, insisted the best way to enjoy surfing the giant dunes on the shores of Hokianga Harbour was to skid down the sand and keep skating out on to the water. But, on this cloudy afternoon, we'd neglected to bring our togs, meaning it was do it in our underwear or not at all.
Yes, skittering across the harbour on a boogey board was huge fun - the wet underwear afterwards was not. Luckily, there is plenty to see in this lush, sub-tropical part of New Zealand to keep our minds off our sandy, damp nether regions.
Our next stop was the mighty kauri twins Tane Mahuta and Tane Matua Ngahere (by turns, the largest and oldest living kauri trees) nestled in the Waipoua Forest. The trees are an awe-inspiring reminder of New Zealand's pre-settlement, wilderness past - and the best time to visit them is at night.
We entered the forest as dusk settled, accompanied by local guides, Tuwhare and Bill from Footprints Waipoua, both a fount of bushlore and Maori mythology, who led us along the easy paths and boardwalks.
We stopped to listen to tui and other native birds, learning about the lifecycle of kauri and of the forest. Approaching the kauri giants in the dark - with our guides singing songs and prayers - adds to the trees' almost spiritual presence. Then, just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, a solitary bird call sounded through the dark. We'd had the privilege of hearing a kiwi in the wild.
It's pretty hard to top that but our pilgrimage rolled ever on. Next stop was the history and natural wonders of the Bay of Islands. If you want to have the history of Waitangi brought alive take a guided tour through the Treaty grounds. Walk where Governor Hobson walked as he presented the Treaty to gathered chiefs. Stand where the chiefs stood, and where the ink was scratched on the infamous document.
Next was a visit to the pods of dolphins and whales almost always in these waters.
Unfortunately, winter was catching up with us and we cast a slightly worried eye at the darkening skies and whitecapped waves as we boarded the Explore New Zealand catamaran. The approaching storm had, sadly, driven the dolphins into hiding, but the harbour cruise was a revelation.
Our skipper gave a fascinating commentary on the history of the islands scattered through the bay and as The Explorer offers a free voucher to repeat the trip if you miss the dolphins we'll certainly be back.
By our last day in the "winterless" north, winter was definitely making its presence felt, with high winds and driving rain.
Hoping that if we ignored the weather it would go away, we boarded the impressive Dune Rider - a modified Unimog - bound for Ninety Mile Beach. In fact, the storm added to the drama of this untamed part of the country and our driver Spike insisted, that it was a "great Ninety Mile Beach day".
Seals rested in the sand and a rare New Zealand dotterill scuttled along the shoreline.
Spike steered the Dune Rider up the fast-flowing Te Paki stream, water cascading off the sides of the truck as he negotiated the sandbanks to the Te Paki dunes. We scrambled up the sandy slopes for another slide - this time with clothes on.
Following on from the success of the 101 Must-Dos for Kiwis campaign, the AA has launched another promotion aimed at getting New Zealanders out at the weekend. Get Off Your Bum New Zealand will get Kiwis sharing ideas for the best spots to spend their free time. Visit aatravel.co.nz for activities to keep you busy for many weekends, or send in your own ideas or photos, and go into the draw to win one of eight Kiwi weekend experiences.

Written by Sarah Bergstrom, USC blog contributor
USC athletes are more than just champions on the field, court, diamond, and pool, they're champions in the classroom as well. Each week, we will get to know one of these scholarly Trojans a little better in our student-athlete spotlight.
Name: Ceilidh (Pronounced "Kaley") Meagher
Year: Junior
Sport: Women's Lacrosse
Position: Midfield
Major: Economics
Sarah Bergstrom (SB): Okay, I have to ask, is there a story behind your name?
Ceilidh Meagher (CM): It's Gaelic for "party". (laughs) I think my parents just wanted to mix it up and embrace our heritage with the middle child.
SB: Has that been a repetitive stumbling block with announcers at your games?
CM: I listen, every roll call getting to the M's, and eventually I know my name's coming. There's always a pause and I just think, 'It's (pronounced) Kaley. Kaley Marr. Looks like Ceilidh Meagher but it's Kaley Marr. It's very entertaining. It doesn't really get old.
SB: How has the transition been from the East to West coast?
CM: It's been awesome. I had originally wanted to come to USC, but they didn't have lacrosse. So when I found out they added it, I came here as soon as I could. Colby had about 1,600 people and here you have 16,000 undergrad alone. But I love it. It's good to have a solid group of friends but it's awesome to always be meeting new people.
SB: You said you originally wanted to go to USC before they had lacrosse. What drew you to USC?
CM: Honestly it's the perfect combination because I get to do the sport that I love and go to the school that I really wanted to go to. When I first stepped on campus I didn't know anything about it, and by the time I left I couldn't get enough. I love how USC is right in the middle of LA. I love the atmosphere. That there is a balance between enjoying life and working hard.
SB: Have you found it difficult to balance school and lacrosse?
CM: I only have about two hours of free time a week in terms of my schedule. But it's a good balance because I have to stay disciplined with my work and also have to put a lot of time into lacrosse. It's nice to have that busyness, but at the same time it's nice to find time and relax.
SB: What's your favorite thing to do in those two hours of free time?
CM: I love exploring the city. I'm getting a car soon and I'm so excited to go out and see the different parts of LA. It's such a big city, and sometimes I think we get so wrapped up in what's going on in the five or six blocks that is campus, that we forget that we are in the midst of this huge, massively diverse and entertaining city.
SB: What was it like to play in the Coliseum in your first game? And how does it feel to be a part of the beginning of USC women's lacrosse?
CM: Playing in the Coliseum was incredible. Coming out through the tunnel that all the football players come through was awesome because you don't realize what's actually in that tunnel until you're there. It's all these All-Americans and the history of USC excellence. It's something we can take pride in even though we're not charging out to a roaring stadium of 90,000 people. I just loved the fact that people were willing to try something new. They were chanting "air ball" as shots went wide. That doesn't really happen on the East coast but out here it was really fun to see. Just to be a part of the first team where you get to establish the culture and the work ethic, the atmosphere is something really special. We are so proud of our school, and we want our school to be proud of us.
SB: What does it mean to you to be a Trojan athlete?
CM: It means a lot. I actually walked onto the team and I was fortunate enough to be able to spend last year here training with the team after the coaches let me on. It was difficult to not play any games for a full year, but now that we are in season it makes you appreciate everything so much more. It's not something I can ever take for granted and it's something I just feel incredibly blessed for. To be a part of something as special as USC, specifically USC athletics, is pretty amazing.
SB: What do you hope to be your legacy in your time here?
CM: I really hope that we have a program start similar to Florida. Within three years of their program they made it to the national semifinals. So that's something I want to see happen with our team. I hope my legacy, if anything, will be leaving a work ethic behind with the mentality that it takes all you got. And if you give it all you've got to give a little more too. When you play for the Trojan family you can't leave anything on the field.

As an article that appeared recently right here in Chain Store Age noted, there is something interesting going on with back-to-school shopping this year. At a time when online sales seem to be inexorably chipping away at brick-and-mortar sales, taking a bigger bite with every passing year, the 2014 back-to-school shopping season has actually seen the exact opposite trend: the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) states that "the share of online as a BTS shopping venue will be 8.1% this year — a drop from last year's 8.6%." Overall, brick-and-mortar retail sales are projected to make up about 90% of all back-to-school shopping.
If you feel like summer just started, you're not alone, but many people might not realize that school begins at different times throughout the country, including many right here in Arizona that have already started the 2014-2015 year! This staggered start might be one factor that is contributing to a back-to-school shopping "season" that seems to be starting earlier and lasting longer with each passing year. In support of this idea, ICSC says that the number of shoppers starting early on their back-to-school purchases jumped this year.
Aside from a curiosity, the continued expansion of the back-to-school shopping window has some potentially significant implications for many retailers, who need to think and plan strategically to maximize their promotional efforts and optimize their merchandising. Instead of a busy couple of weeks, the back-to-school season is now a prolonged period of heightened activity: closer to months than weeks. Will that longer shopping window translate to more sales, however? There the forecast is a little cloudier.
While people do seem to be buying earlier, there are differences of opinion as to whether that means they will be buying more. ICSC suggests that total back-to-school spending will jump up significantly ($325 per household on non-electronics, which would be an eye-opening number after 2013's $285 figure). The National Retail Foundation (NRF) sees things differently, however. A July article in Fortune pointed out that the NRF sees back-to-school sales actually dropping slightly compared to last year.
As for my own observations, it seems like I'm seeing a trend where shoppers may be focusing more on back-to-school necessities rather than higher-end back-to-school apparel. Apparel is still the big driver. When it comes to electronics, my sense is that people are buying more stuff, but at a lower price, so the overall sales impact ends up being about the same. Overall, I see the picture looking a bit rosier than last year, but not by much.
The other big factor here with the potential to impact sales is the shifting back-to-school spending balance between specialty and discount retail. We are seeing more spending at the discount stores — a trend that took hold during the last recession and that has been developing for several years. Specialty stores have been trying to get back in the game, and trying to push back against what have now become ingrained shopping habits. But it isn't easy to turn the ocean liner of consumer shopping behavior to a new course, and the new normal for the foreseeable future might just be that specialty stores will struggle to gain any real back-to-school traction/momentum. There are only so many buttons you can press, and while stores of all categories are getting more clever and creative in the ways that they promote this stuff, price points and discounts will always be the primary drivers.
Of all the back-to-school intrigue this year, what interests you the most? For me, it's absolutely the ongoing shifts between online and brick-and-mortar retail. Will be back-to-school shopping be one of the first areas where online sales truly hit a plateau?

A master limited partnership (MLP) is structured so that the general partner of the partnership – often a corporation – takes on all of the risk and management duties for the company, while the limited partners – i.e., shareholding investors – have their liability limited to their investments. What's more, an MLP doesn't incur a tax liability by generating profits, but only when distributing profits to its partners – this difference in tax treatment can result in tax advantages.
An MLP differs from an "LP" – a normal "limited partnership" – because an MLP's ownership interests can be traded publicly. In order to meet regulatory requirements for MLP tax treatment, MLPs must invest a stipulated minimum proportion of their funds in specific categories of investments, and they must distribute a stipulated minimum proportion of their proceeds directly to investors. This makes MLPs income-oriented investments.
There are two primary drivers for increased interest in MLPs:
- The low-yield environment: This has been caused by the ongoing monetary-stimulus operations of the Federal Reserve and other central banks. Since MLPs are yield-oriented, and since traditional yield-oriented investments are underperforming, yield-seeking investors are hungry for alternatives.
- The U.S. hydraulic fracking boom: This has increased interest in the energy sector, and many energy-services firms are structured as MLPs – but with the crossover appeal to yield investors, energy MLPs are even hotter than traditionally structured energy firms.
These two factors have led to an increase in the number of energy MLP offerings, including two that have been announced or launched recently: The Vertical Capital Innovations MLP Energy Fund (VMLPX), announced on May 31, 2014; and the Salient MLP Fund (SAMCX), launched on April 1, 2014.
Vertical Capital Innovations MLP Energy Fund
Vertical Capital Markets Group's Vertical Capital Innovations MLP Energy Fund (VMLPX) will be sub-advised by Capital Innovations, LLC. Its team of managers has expertise in the energy industry and financial markets, and experience managing MLP assets with the perspective of an MLP owner, operator, and acquirer – sort of the same mindset adopted by private equity firms in takeovers. Durable cash flows will be a primary focus of the fund. Michael Underhill, the CIO and CEO of Capital Innovations, will oversee the initial portfolio construction and subsequent management of the fund, along with portfolio manager Susan Dambekaln.
Vertical Capital Markets Executive Vice President John Harline says that as the U.S. increases its oil production, thanks to hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") and the shale boom, there will be a greater need for energy-services firms that transport and store natural resources. Currently, there are more than 130 such publicly traded MLPs with total market capitalization of nearly $500 billion. The Vertical Capital Innovations MLP Energy Fund will seek opportunities within this space in pursuit of a high level of risk-adjusted return.
Shale oil sales are projected to surpass $40 billion in 2014, up more than 11% from 2013's total. Shale-oil firms typically rely on MLP energy-service firms for transportation and other value-added services. Europe's desire to become less dependent on Russia for its energy needs is another potential driver of the energy MLP boom. "The greater need for energy infrastructure will be a boon for MLPs," according to Harline. "The Vertical Capital Innovations MLP Energy Fund can help investors and advisors take advantage of this opportunity."
For more information about the Vertical Capital Markets Group, visit the firm's website.
The Salient MLP Fund
While the Vertical Capital Innovations MLP Energy Fund is still pending listing, the Salient MLP Fund (SAMCX) launched on June 17, 2014. The fund has $15.9 million in assets under management, and requires a $2,500 minimum investment for Class A and C shares, and $1 million for Class I shares. The management fee is 0.95%. This is Salient's second mutual fund focused on MLPs. The firm also manages two publicly traded closed-end MLP funds: the Salient MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund (Ticker: SMF) and the Salient Midstream & MLP Fund (Ticker: SMM). The boards of the two closed-end funds have approved a merger of the funds, which is slated for the fourth quarter of this year subject to shareholder approval.
Gregory Reid, a partner and managing director of Salient, says that the low-interest rate environment and economic uncertainty have increased investor-interest in alternative, yield-oriented investments: "Many investors seeking attractive yields, potential inflation protection, and distribution growth are turning to MLPs," which he says have "demonstrated a compelling historical performance" since 2006. Focused on the "midstream energy industry," the Salient MLP Energy Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the energy MLPs, with the remaining 20% open to other energy opportunities, as well as money market funds, actively managed and indexed ETFs, exchange-traded notes, U.S. government securities, debt securities, and/or cash and cash-equivalents.
Reid says the fund's strategy puts an "emphasis on seeking cash flow stability, balance sheet strength, and management experience." He describes the firm's mutual fund structure as "investor-friendly" with daily liquidity, quarterly distributions, and 1099 tax reporting.

Today coming home from work I decided to take the 'scenic' route across the ridge. In front of me was an '04 Legacy, I think, not the new model. But anyway, I could tell he was game for some fun because approaching the fun stuff he kept getting a bit faster. I'm pretty much stock, suspension wise, except for some end links and Sumitomo's with hardly any tread left and it was pretty even in the tight turns with me gaining on him in some sweepers. My tires were killing me in the tight turns but he was still pretty damn quick. I gave him a thumbs up after we got stuck behind a van but I couldn't tell if he was happy or pissed that I had passed him on a straight. Looking back on it I wished that I had stayed behind him. He looked to be in his 40's.
Cliff Notes: Stock suspension and bald tires suck.

10 Things I Heard About Celtics IXFriday, November 4th, 2011
On another slow Celtics news day, there's still plenty to learn about Boston's green men. Here are 10 C's links of interest we discovered over the past few days ('10 Things I Heard About Celtics' I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII).
10. I'm not sure why I think these "how to pronounce" videos are so hilarious, but they crack me up every time. The embedded one on Celtics second-round draft pick E'Twaun Moore is the best. Each member of the 2010-11 C's gets the pronunciation treatment, but the JaJuan Johnson, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley ones are the best of the bunch. Am I the only one who finds these funny?
As an aside, Moore is averaging 6.7 points on 50 percent shooting, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.3 minutes over three games for Italian club Benetton Treviso. Speaking of second-round Celtics draftees, Gabe Pruitt was picked fourth overall in the NBA Development League Draft by the Sioux Falls Skyforce. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be playing in Italy than South Dakota.
9. While the lockout robbed Celtics fans of hearing Tommy Heinsohn's dulcet tones during the canceled season opener on Tuesday night, at least the Worcester Telegram's Bill Doyle let Heinsohn's voice be heard. After all, he was in NBPA president Derek Fisher's shoes once.
- On the lockout: "I'm not coming down on either side at this particular point. I just know that this is a crucial period for the game of basketball. The economy is tough for everybody. … Obviously it's going to cost both parties money. The reputation of the league has yet to be determined."
- On NBA's return: "I have no clue. I agree with the people. I'd love to see a basketball season."
- On the NBPA: "I'd hate to be Billy Hunter right now. He's got to stand up and bump his chest for the players, and he's got to keep the agents happy who are telling their players what to do. So he's got an audience of players and agents, and then he's got to go fight the owners."
God, do I miss NBA basketball. It's sounds like Tommy does, too. I think we can all agree with colleague Paul Flannery's most recent column: "Has this really all been worth it?"

How To Freeze Food: The Safest Way To Preserve Produce
TORONTO - You reach into your freezer and pull out an hoarfrost-encrusted meat product of dubious origin. You have no idea how long it's been there, you didn't think to label it and now you are wondering: Is this safe to eat?
The answer is a good news, not-so-good news story, food safety experts say.
Freezing food is one of the safest ways to preserve food at home for future use — much safer than home canning, which if done incorrectly can produce food contaminated with the toxin that causes botulism.
There is no such safety risk with frozen food. And in fact, the process can actually enhance the safety of one type of food we often pop into the freezer, poultry.
"While something's actually frozen in the freezer there's nothing going on that's changing the safety of it," says Elizabeth Andress, a food safety specialist at University of Georgia at Athens.
"Quality can continue to deteriorate, but there's really no safety issues while it's in the freezer."
All those guidelines about how long you can freeze this type of fish or that cut of meat relate to how much damage the food will sustain going through the freezing and thawing processes.
SEE: Surprising foods you can freeze. Story continues below:
If you find yourself often tossing the end of a bottle of wine, you might want to consider freezing it instead. The wine won't maintain its quality for drinking, but will be great for cooking. Store in ice cube trays to quickly add to stews and sauces.
Usually when we need tomato paste, we only need a tablespoon or two. The rest of the can or tube gets forgotten in the fridge only to be thrown out a month later when it's covered in mold. Rather, spoon out the remaining tomato paste into tablespoon measurements and freeze it for a later date.
Fresh herbs are also often wasted in the fridge after a one-time use. If you don't intend to use that basil or thyme within the next few days, place them in an ice cube tray with a little bit of water -- once frozen, you can store it in a Ziploc bag for up to six months. You won't be using it in salads, but works great for cooking.
While you can't just throw the whole carton of eggs into the freezer, you can store eggs for up to a year by mixing the egg white and yolk together and freezing in a plastic bag. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator.
Nuts go rancid fairly quickly due to their high oil content, but if you freeze them they'll stay fresher longer. Nuts keep for six months in the freezer and when ready to use, thaw them at room temperature. Or if you're going to bake with them, you can even use them frozen.
While bread usually only lasts a week on the counter, it can keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. And if you're using it to make toast, you don't have to worry about thawing.
Unless ginger is a regular in your dishes, this ingredient usually shrivels away in your crisper drawer. Take the time to cut it into slices when you buy it and throw it in the freezer. Next time you have a recipe that calls for that tiny amount, you can just grab a slice.
If you're going on vacation and still have a substantial amount of milk in the fridge, you can freeze it. While the texture will change slightly when thawed (becoming a little grainy) it will keep for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge and shake before using.
While you don't want to throw the entire orange, lemon or lime in the freezer, you can easily freeze the juice into ice cube trays and then store in a plastic bag. Thaw it when in need, or use it to chill and flavor iced tea.
Soft and semi-soft cheeses such as mozzarella, parmesan or cheddar can be frozen. The texture will change -- becoming crumbly once thawed -- so you won't be using it for sandwiches. But it'll still work great for cooking.
Unless you're an avid baker, you probably don't go through that much butter in your household. But waste not, put those extra sticks of butter right in freezer. They thaw in no time when in need.
The recommendations are geared to palatability. So the question isn't 'Will this make us sick?' but 'Would we want to eat this?'
"I think that there's a common misperception that people think food becomes unsafe the longer it sits in the freezer," says Andress, who also works with the U.S. National Center for Home Food Preservation.
"You know, that they think that there's an absolute cut-off date for safety. And it really is quality. Because as long as it stays frozen, it's not becoming less safe."
The risks that do exist come from the way food is prepared for freezing — clean hands! clean surfaces! — and the way frozen food is thawed.
If you are freezing something that's been cooked — soups or chili or a casserole — be careful about how you cool it down. While you shouldn't put hot food directly into a freezer, you don't want to let it sit around at room temperature for too long either.
Andress says in food safety people talk about the "temperature danger zone." That's the point where food isn't cold enough to suspend the activity of any bacteria that might be present, and isn't hot enough to kill them. That zone is between 4.4 C to 60 C (40 F to 140 F).
So once food is cool enough to go into the fridge, it can spend some time there before being transferred to the freezer.
And that's the route food should follow when it's time to thaw frozen meats and fish and cooked food, says Doug Goff, a professor of food sciences at the University of Guelph in Ontario.
"Bacteria won't reproduce in the freezer, but freezing won't kill them. So whatever was in your food when you froze it will be there again when you thaw it," he explains.
Where this problem often comes into play is with the behemoths of protein, turkeys. Rock hard in the freezer, these holiday favourites take forever to defrost in a fridge, using up lots of precious space while they do. But that really is the right place for them, Goff says.
"People pull it out of their freezer and they leave it on their counter overnight to thaw. Well, the surface (of the bird) gets up to room temperature before the core of it is thawed. And if there's bacteria on the surface, well, they are growing at a normal rate," he explains.
Another option is to submerge the food to be thawed — encased in packaging, of course — in cold water. But the water must be cold — no hotter than 4 C (40 F), says Rick Holley, a food safety microbiologist at the University of Manitoba.
Holley says people will make the mistake of putting a large turkey in water and then letting it sit while the temperature of the water rises. You're not giving the turkey a bath; the water should be cold and should be replaced when it warms up. Adding ice cubes can help by providing a visible cue, he says.
"As soon as you see that the ice is gone you know that the possibility is that the temperature of the water is above 2 C or 3 C (36-37 F)."
Freezing poultry can actually enhance the safety of the meat, Holley says. While some bacteria will reactivate once a frozen product that contains them thaws, at least one type, Campylobacter, does not survive freezing well. Campylobacter is the leading cause of foodborne illness in Canada, he says.
Freezing actually cuts back on the concentration of these bacteria in or on contaminated food, says Holley, who says studies have shown that Campylobacter-associated foodborne illnesses decline when people eat only previously frozen poultry products.
There is another misperception about frozen food, though it's one the experts are almost reluctant to talk about.
It's that rule about not refreezing things. Turns out it's not entirely true.
If something is frozen and thawed, it can be refrozen — as long as it was defrosted safely. So if you started to defrost a roast in the fridge and then realized you didn't need it, you could put it back in the freezer.
That would not be advisable for something that was thawed outside a fridge, the experts say. And they warn that the damage to taste and texture that comes from freezing would be exacerbated by refreezing.
So does this mean that if the power goes out you really don't have to throw out everything in the freezer? Holley suggests it really depends on how long the power was off, how warm it got in the freezer — and how certain you are that you know the answers to those questions.
"But generally speaking if you have a very good idea how long the freezer's been off and that the temperature has not gone above 4 C, most foods will still be safe — depending upon, of course, how long they've been at 4 C," he says.
"So you'd have to have a very good idea the period of time the unit was down."

Andrew Demetriou is the quintessential boy done good. The youngest of four boys born to Greek Cypriot parents, Demetriou was good enough to play top-level football in the 1980s, eking out more than 100 games with North Melbourne and Hawthorn. It was a playing career that had the humdrum markings of many who had gone before, and many who will come after. But for the hundreds of players who are churned through the system of professional Australian football, there is only one Andrew Demetriou.
At the end of his playing days, Demetriou flirted with the commercial sector before becoming chief executive of the AFL Players Association in 1998, brokering a pivotal collective bargaining agreement that marked him as an administrator of note. It was a natural progression to replace Wayne Jackson in 1993 as boss of the AFL.
In his time at the helm, Demetriou oversaw a period of significant progress and growth. Under him, the AFL consolidated its position as the pre-eminent football code in Australia.
Now Demetriou is hanging up his boots, he leaves behind a legacy that is hard to beat. His tenure will be remembered for burgeoning finances thanks to bigger TV broadcast deals, expansion to key areas in New South Wales and Queensland, a radicalised tribunal system (for better or worse), a revolutionary response to illicit drug use and a strong stance against discrimination. If he made the body of Australian rules muscled and strong, he's also given it a conscience.
In Australian pigskin sports, achievement can often best be measured against the health of rival codes. The AFL's chief rival is the National Rugby League, but also snapping at its heels are Super Rugby and the A-League.
Each code can supply myriad metrics to suggest they have the upper hand in arguably the world's most competitive sporting landscape. The AFL may not have the greatest junior participation rate in the country, but by other measures it's the big dog: it commands the most dollars from broadcast revenue and attracts the most spectators to live games. Professional Australian rules is undoubtedly the most popular sport in the country.
Demetriou announced his departure with back-slapping self-congratulation. And most of it is warranted. But the exit words that resonated most were these: "I leave the game with no regrets."
That may be true, but juxtaposed with his many achievements were episodes that at best polarised opinion, at worst cast doubt on his judgment.
Demetriou was criticised for his inaction over the St Kilda schoolgirl scandal involving player manager Ricky Nixon, and last year had to explain himself for "laughing uncontrollably" when a dwarf's clothing was set on fire by a St Kilda player during Mad Monday celebrations.
But Demetriou's lowest ebb came with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (Asada) investigation into drug use at Essendon.
Alongside his counterparts in other codes, Demetriou stood tall and indignant in February last year as the Australian Crime Commission announced its year-long investigation into widespread use of drugs in sport.
Demetriou and the AFL were later confused over whether Bombers coach James Hird would be paid while serving his suspension over Essendon's role in the scandal.
Hird and his family insisted all parties were of the understanding he would be paid, but the AFL argued otherwise. The stand-off gave the impression that the left hand at the AFL had no idea what the right hand was doing, and in these instances the buck stops with the chief executive. For an organisation that prides itself on order and transparency, this impasse was galling.
The episode was reduced to farce when Hird's wife, Tania, expressed her outrage outside the family home, accusing the AFL of a "total disregard of the truth" and saying it had acted "appallingly" throughout the investigation. Worse still, she called on Demetriou and the AFL to stop "threatening" her husband.
There are two sides to every story, but the suspicion was already there that the AFL was viewing the Asada investigation as a damage-limiting PR exercise. For his part, Demetriou was reduced to ignoring questions from reporters. The upshot was that Hird would be paid during his suspension.
In Demetriou's defence, it cannot be argued he did not have the interests of players and the integrity of the game at heart. He's right when he says none of the scandal was his fault because "I never injected anyone". But even he couldn't wriggle out of the corner he was in; wedged between protecting a club and protecting an entire sport's image, he was compromised.
In high-level administration, show can often be as important as substance. And in Demetriou, the AFL had a leader who mostly was on the front foot. His press conferences were never awkward affairs, nor were reporters ever given a sniff of vulnerability. He made it that way: from first question to last, he was in charge. He was esteemed by his peers and respected by his underlings; he was a fearless leader. He was also paid comfortably more than any administrator in the country, let alone any player in the AFL.
Even his foes speak of him positively. His long-time sparring partner, the Collingwood president Eddie McGuire, says of Demetriou: "He can leave the job knowing he has contributed greatly to the strength of the AFL."
Love Demetriou or hate him, you cannot argue with that.

C Series Grand Pianos
C Series grands have long been the heart of the Yamaha grand piano line, offering superb sound, broad dynamic range and fine expressive control. Their classic styling and careful craftsmanship make them an elegant accent to any decor.
C Series Grand Pianos
C Series grands have long been the heart of the Yamaha grand piano line, offering superb sound, broad dynamic range and fine expressive control. Their classic styling and careful craftsmanship make them an elegant accent to any decor.
Celebrating a distinguished century of grand piano making
Unparalleled in their beauty and musical range, grand pianos are the ultimate expression of the piano maker's art. The year 2002 representing our grand piano centennial year, Yamaha is proud to present a comprehensive line of incomparable grands, reflecting the very latest in Yamaha acoustic and technological advances. Embodying over 100 years of accumulated expertise, these instruments epitomize the quality, performance and value for which Yamaha has long been renowned, as we enter the second century of Yamaha grand pianos. Fully redesigned at the turn of the millennium, today's C Series grands benefit from a host of recent Yamaha advances.
Crafted with uncommon care and integrity
Yamaha grand pianos have earned a global reputation as instruments of outstanding quality and value. Renowned for their eloquent expressive range, and for their reliable performance over time, they play an important role in the performing arts and music education. They are consistently among the pianos most highly recommended by piano tuner/technicians and a leading choice of pianists at all levels, all over the world. The Yamaha reputation rests on a century-long tradition of uncompromising care and craftsmanship, supported by an unmatched range of integrated expertise, top-of-the-line production facilities, and an exceptionally skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated workforce. Our strength in the full range of relevant technologies allows us to produce virtually every part of every piano ourselves — an approach that has helped us initiate significant advances and set what has long been recognized as the industry standard in quality control. An open dialog with professional musicians generates invaluable input that, in conjunction with sophisticated research facilities, has led to continual advances in each new generation of Yamaha pianos. Our global network offers Yamaha customers additional advantages, from cost-efficient regional manufacturing to the ready availability of sales and support throughout most of the world. Balancing cutting-edge technology and innovation with the timeless skills of expert artisans, Yamaha pianos have come to represent an unsurpassed standard of affordable excellence. It is a standard that continues to generate ever-higher acclaim and make Yamaha grand pianos the first choice of many of the world's most discriminating pianists.
A triumph of timeless artistry and technical sophistication
Today's C Series grands also incorporate all of the quality construction features found in prior C Series models. Rims are formed from layers of select woods, laminated into shape in special presses, then seasoned to allow the wood to stabilize. Sturdy back posts are joined in a radial configuration and fitted to the rim using exceptionally strong and stable dovetail joints, enhancing both the pianos durability and the integrity of the acoustic chamber. Iron plates, the internal frame of the piano, are cast in a vacuum molding process that virtually eliminates flaws and imperfections, then attached with an adjustable mounting system that allows precise control over string downbearing — critical for the best tonal performance. A metal tone collector connects the back posts to the plate, reflecting sound energy back through the case for a fuller, more sustained resonance. Soundboards are crafted from select clear spruce and cured in a proprietary process that ensures a durable, natural crown. This is further reinforced with full-length spruce ribs, securely mortised and glued into the inner rim. Bridges are formed from fine-grained hardwoods chosen for optimal sound transmission, and precisely notched and pinned to carry the strings. Produced from special steel and pure copper wire, strings are installed with the aid of special equipment for consistent, even tensioning. Duplex scaling, which tunes non-'speaking' lengths of the strings, enriches primary tones with complementary harmonics. Pinblocks, where the tuning pins are set, are made from layers of dense hardwoods, bonded in a process that seals against fluctuations in humidity. The pins themselves have lathe-cut, rather than roll-pressed, threads, to ensure the best grip in the pinblock, and are nickel plated to resist corrosion. Together with the integrity of structural components, these features help to give Yamaha pianos an exceptionally high level of tuning stability, assuring better sound between tunings and requiring minimal regular maintenance.
Built to the highest standards to assure lasting value
The legendary Yamaha action mechanism is built to ultra-precise tolerances on aluminum alloy rails — unaffected by changes in temperature or humidity — for superb response, rapid repetition and years of trouble-free playing enjoyment. Designed for each model, hammers are made from top-quality felt, glued and T-fastened to hardwood heads and shanks, profiled to match the characteristics of each model. Matched key sets cut from solid spruce blocks are fitted with durable hardwood key buttons, faced with optimal tactile surfaces, and precisely balanced and laser-leveled for uniform travel and response.

The Yamaha Servicebond™ Assurance Program is provided to the customer, without additional charge, 3-8 months after delivery of their piano. This service is a thorough check u

Dancing In The Rain
By Wanda Jankowski, Editor-in-Chief
When it opened in April, I stopped by the new Rug Art showroom in Manhattan's D&D Building (see "In The Industry" on p. 37 for more on that). Sigal Sasson, co-owner of Rug Art with husband, Vidal, was telling me with a sense of wonderment how she can't quite comprehend how far they have progressed in the past 10 years or so since they started the company. In addition to furnishing custom rugs to designer clients, they have recently expanded the business, creating lines of luxury pillows and throws.
Sigal credits her mother with instilling in her the value of embracing courage and perseverance especially in difficult times. Sigal recalled, "As a child, my mother would say, 'When storms come, don't run and hide, but learn to dance in the rain'."
Jason Carr, co-founder of Softline Home Fashions, was also "dancing in the rain" because he followed his business plan, saved cash and so was able to expand the business during the recession when others were failing. Softline is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. In speaking about what he and his co-founder brother, Rodney, have been through in the past decade with the company, Jason modestly admitted, "There have been many struggles, but I think we often made good decisions at crucial turning points."
A while ago, I watched an interview with famed director, Alfred Hitchcock. He was asked what he wishes for in the future and he replied, "A clear horizon."
Perhaps we'd all like that. The reality is, even though economic recovery seems to be happening, there will be challenges in some form or other, sooner or later down the road. LDB Interior Textiles is here to help you best face whatever the future brings by providing you with some "rainy day umbrellas" in the form of information-packed articles.
This month, "Back On Track" offers details on creative new products in the alternative window segment and includes a listing of the envelope-pushing winners of the Window Covering Manufacturers Association Product Awards. "Visual Attractions" presents offerings debuting at Showtime, along with important trend information from independent experts. "Checking In With Hospitality" keeps you up-to-date on the give-and-take between the home and hospitality sectors.
So be brave, use your "umbrellas" and if you haven't already, start learning to "dance in the rain" before the showers begin again.

BASE MAPS FOR THE 1990s
By the late 1980s, many of Minnesota's most commonly used mapping resources were rapidly becoming obsolete. Statewide aerial photographs dated from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. The average U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scaled topographic map was nearly 20 years old. In addition, these products were not computer-readable and could not be used with digital mapping and geographic information systems, which were exploding in use by the late 1980s. In 1990, the Land Management Information Center coordinated the development of the proposal for the base maps project, which was designed to produce both traditional paper air photos and maps, and computer-readable data sets.
From 1989 through 1997, the Minnesota Legislature approved recommendations from the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources to fund an eight-year effort to complete the Base Maps for the 1990s program. All state funds have been matched equally from a pool of federal funds coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey, which also served as production coordinator. The U.S. Geological Survey National Mapping Division maintains a national mapping site with current resources and activities, including a frequently-asked questions page. See the USGS Store website to order USGS mapping products; information can also be requested by searching ask.usgs.gov or calling 1-888-ASK-USGS. USGS maps and digital data are also available at most of Minnesota's federal depository libraries. Click here to search for a library closest to you.

The Bishop and Other Stories HTML version
Uprooted - An Incident of My Travels
I WAS on my way back from evening service. The clock in the belfry of the
Svyatogorsky Monastery pealed out its soft melodious chimes by way of prelude and
then struck twelve. The great courtyard of the monastery stretched out at the foot of the
Holy Mountains on the banks of the Donets, and, enclosed by the high hostel buildings as
by a wall, seemed now in the night, when it was lighted up only by dim lanterns, lights in
the windows, and the stars, a living hotch-potch full of movement, sound, and the most
original confusion. From end to end, so far as the eye could see, it was all choked up with
carts, old-fashioned coaches and chaises, vans, tilt-carts, about which stood crowds of
horses, dark and white, and horned oxen, while people bustled about, and black long-
skirted lay brothers threaded their way in and out in all directions. Shadows and streaks
of light cast from the windows moved over the carts and the heads of men and horses,
and in the dense twilight this all assumed the most monstrous capricious shapes: here the
tilted shafts stretched upwards to the sky, here eyes of fire appeared in the face of a horse,
there a lay brother grew a pair of black wings. . . . There was the noise of talk, the
snorting and munching of horses, the creaking of carts, the whimpering of children. Fresh
crowds kept walking in at the gate and belated carts drove up.
The pines which were piled up on the overhanging mountain, one above another, and
leaned towards the roof of the hostel, gazed into the courtyard as into a deep pit, and
listened in wonder; in their dark thicket the cuckoos and nightingales never ceased
calling. . . . Looking at the confusion, listening to the uproar, one fancied that in this
living hotch-potch no one understood anyone, that everyone was looking for something
and would not find it, and that this multitude of carts, chaises and human beings could not
ever succeed in getting off.
More than ten thousand people flocked to the Holy Mountains for the festivals of St. John
the Divine and St. Nikolay the wonder-worker. Not only the hostel buildings, but even
the bakehouse, the tailoring room, the carpenter's shop, the carriage house, were filled to
overflowing. . . . Those who had arrived towards night clustered like flies in autumn, by
the walls, round the wells in the yard, or in the narrow passages of the hostel, waiting to
be shown a resting-place for the night. The lay brothers, young and old, were in an
incessant movement, with no rest or hope of being relieved. By day or late at night they
produced the same impression of men hastening somewhere and agitated by something,
yet, in spite of their extreme exhaustion, their faces remained full of courage and kindly
welcome, their voices friendly, their movements rapid. . . . For everyone who came they
had to find a place to sleep, and to provide food and drink; to those who were deaf, slow
to understand, or profuse in questions, they had to give long and wearisome explanations,
to tell them why there were no empty rooms, at what o'clock the service was to be where
holy bread was sold, and so on. They had to run, to carry, to talk incessantly, but more
than that, they had to be polite, too, to be tactful, to try to arrange that the Greeks from
Mariupol, accustomed to live more comfortably than the Little Russians, should be put
with other Greeks, that some shopkeeper from Bahmut or Lisitchansk, dressed like a

I want to show appreciation to this wiertr for rescuing me from this particular dilemma. Just after scouting throughout the internet and finding ideas that were not beneficial, I was thinking my life was well over. Existing without the answers to the difficulties you have sorted out through your entire guideline is a serious case, as well as ones which might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not noticed your site. Your main skills and kindness in maneuvering every part was crucial. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had not come upon such a step like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your skilled and amazing help. I will not be reluctant to recommend your web sites to any person who desires tips on this subject.

Of course in typical Hollywood fashion Disney chickened out at the last minute and turned Beauty In The Beast into yet another one of their boring family friendly movies, thus completely squandering Emma Watson s talents as a world class cock gobbler. However the original vision for this film was not completely lost, for as you can see in the video above a red band trailer featuring a few of Emma s since deleted sex scenes has been leaked to the Web.

Chapter 52
|1Awaken, awaken, put on your strength, O Zion; put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem the Holy City, for no longer shall the uncircumcised or the unclean continue to enter you.
|אעוּרִי עוּרִי לִבְשִׁי עֻזֵּךְ צִיּוֹן לִבְשִׁי | בִּגְדֵי תִפְאַרְתֵּךְ יְרוּשָׁלִַם עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ כִּי לֹא יוֹסִיף יָבֹא בָךְ עוֹד עָרֵל וְטָמֵא:
|2Shake yourselves from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; free yourself of the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
|בהִתְנַעֲרִי מֵעָפָר קוּמִי שְׁבִי יְרוּשָׁלִָם הִתְפַּתְּחִי (כתיב הִתְפַּתְּחִו) מוֹסְרֵי צַוָּארֵךְ שְׁבִיָּה בַּת צִיּוֹן:
|Shake yourself: Heb. הִתְנַעֲרִי, escourre in O.F., to shake strongly, like one who shakes out a garment.
|arise: from the ground, from the decree (supra 3:26), "She shall sit on the ground."
|sit down: on a throne.
|free yourself: Untie yourself [from Jonathan].
|bands of: Heb. מוֹסְרֵי, cringatro umbriah in O.F., [strap].
|captive: Heb. שְׁבִיָה, like שְׁבוּיָה, captive.
|3For so said the Lord, "You were sold for nought, and you shall not be redeemed for money."
|גכִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהֹוָה חִנָּם נִמְכַּרְתֶּם וְלֹא בְכֶסֶף תִּגָּאֵלוּ:
|You were sold for nought: Because of worthless matters, i.e., the evil inclination, which affords you no reward.
|and you shall not be redeemed for money: but with repentance.
|4For so said the Lord God, "My people first went down to Egypt to sojourn there, but Assyria oppressed them for nothing."
|דכִּי כֹה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה מִצְרַיִם יָרַד עַמִּי בָרִאשֹׁנָה לָגוּר שָׁם וְאַשּׁוּר בְּאֶפֶס עֲשָׁקוֹ:
|My people first went down to Egypt: The Egyptians had somewhat of a debt upon them, for they served for them as their hosts and sustained them, but Assyria oppressed them for nothing and without cause.
|5"And now, what have I here," says the Lord, "that My people has been taken for nothing. His rulers boast," says the Lord, "and constantly all day My name is blasphemed.
|הוְעַתָּה מַה לִּי פֹה נְאֻם יְהֹוָה כִּי לֻקַּח עַמִּי חִנָּם מֹשְׁלָיו (כתיב מֹשְׁלָו) יְהֵילִילוּ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה וְתָמִיד כָּל הַיּוֹם שְׁמִי מִנֹּאָץ:
|And now, what have I here: Why do I stay and detain My children here?
|boast: Heb. יְהֵילִילוּ, Boast saying, "Our hand was powerful."
|is blasphemed: Blasphemes itself, and this is an instance similar to (Num 7:89) "And he heard the voice speaking to him."
|6Therefore, My people shall know My name; therefore, on that day, for I am He Who speaks, here I am."
|ולָכֵן יֵדַע עַמִּי שְׁמִי לָכֵן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כִּי אֲנִי הוּא הַמְדַבֵּר הִנֵּנִי:
|My people shall know: When I redeem them, they will recognize that My name is master, monarch, and ruler, as is its apparent meaning.
|therefore, on that day: The day of their redemption, they will understand that I am He Who speaks, and behold, I have fulfilled the prophecy.
|7How beautiful are the feet of the herald on the mountains, announcing peace, heralding good tidings, announcing salvation, saying to Zion, "Your God has manifested His kingdom."
|זמַה נָּאווּ עַל הֶהָרִים רַגְלֵי מְבַשֵּׂר מַשְׁמִיעַ שָׁלוֹם מְבַשֵּׂר טוֹב מַשְׁמִיעַ יְשׁוּעָה אֹמֵר לְצִיּוֹן מָלַךְ אֱלֹהָיִךְ:
|8The voice of your watchmen- they raised a voice, together they shall sing, for eye to eye they shall see when the Lord returns to Zion.
|חקוֹל צֹפַיִךְ נָשְׂאוּ קוֹל יַחְדָּו יְרַנֵּנוּ כִּי עַיִן בְּעַיִן יִרְאוּ בְּשׁוּב יְהֹוָה צִיּוֹן:
|The voice of your watchmen: The watchmen who are stationed on the walls and the towers to report and to see (to see and to report [Parshandatha]) who comes to the city.
|9Burst out in song, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has consoled his people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
|טפִּצְחוּ רַנְּנוּ יַחְדָּו חָרְבוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָם כִּי נִחַם יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ גָּאַל יְרוּשָׁלִָם:
|10The Lord has revealed His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
|יחָשַׂף יְהֹוָה אֶת זְרוֹעַ קָדְשׁוֹ לְעֵינֵי כָּל הַגּוֹיִם וְרָאוּ כָּל אַפְסֵי אָרֶץ אֵת יְשׁוּעַת אֱלֹהֵינוּ:
|has revealed: Heb. חָשַׂף, has revealed.
|11Turn away, turn away, get out of there, touch no unclean one; get out of its midst, purify yourselves, you who bear the Lord's vessels.
|יאסוּרוּ סוּרוּ צְאוּ מִשָּׁם טָמֵא אַל תִּגָּעוּ צְאוּ מִתּוֹכָהּ הִבָּרוּ נֹשְׂאֵי כְּלֵי יְהֹוָה:
|touch no unclean one: They shall be abominable to you to touch them.
|get out of its midst: Out of the midst of the exile, for all these last consolations refer only to the last exile.
|purify yourselves: Heb. הִבָּרוּ, purify yourselves.
|you who bear the Lord's vessels: You, the priests and the Levites, who carried the vessels of the Holy One, blessed be He, in the desert [from here is proof of the resurrection of the dead].
|12For not with haste shall you go forth and not in a flurry of flight shall you go, for the Lord goes before you, and your rear guard is the God of Israel.
|יבכִּי לֹא בְחִפָּזוֹן תֵּצֵאוּ וּבִמְנוּסָה לֹא תֵלֵכוּן כִּי הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵיכֶם יְהֹוָה וּמְאַסִּפְכֶם אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:
|for… goes before you: Two things at the end of this verse explain two things in its beginning, [viz.] For not with haste shall you go forth. What is the reason? For the Lord goes before you to lead you on the way, and one whose agent advances before him to lead him on the way his departure is not in haste. And not in the flurry of flight shall you go, for your rear guard is the God of Israel. He will follow you to guard you from any pursuer. Comp. (Num. 10:25) "And the division of the camp of Dan shall travel, the rear guard of all the camps." Whoever goes after the camp is called מְאַסֵּף, the rear guard, because he waits for the stragglers and the stumblers. Similarly, Scripture states in Joshua (6:13): "And the rear guard was going after the Ark."
|13Behold My servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and he shall be very high.
|יגהִנֵּה יַשְׂכִּיל עַבְדִּי יָרוּם וְנִשָּׂא וְגָבַהּ מְאֹד:
|Behold My servant shall prosper: Behold, at the end of days, My servant, Jacob, [i.e.,] the righteous among him, shall prosper.
|14As many wondered about you, "How marred his appearance is from that of a man, and his features from that of people!"
|ידכַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמְמוּ עָלֶיךָ רַבִּים כֵּן מִשְׁחַת מֵאִישׁ מַרְאֵהוּ וְתֹאֲרוֹ מִבְּנֵי אָדָם:
|As many wondered: As many peoples wondered about them when they saw them in their humble state, and said to one another, How marred is his [Israel's] appearance from that of a man! See how their features are darker than those of other people, so, as we see with our eyes.
|15So shall he cast down many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him, for, what had not been told them they saw, and [at] what they had not heard they gazed.
|טוכֵּן יַזֶּה גּוֹיִם רַבִּים עָלָיו יִקְפְּצוּ מְלָכִים פִּיהֶם כִּי אֲשֶׁר לֹא סֻפַּר לָהֶם רָאוּ וַאֲשֶׁר לֹא שָׁמְעוּ הִתְבּוֹנָנוּ:
|what had not been told them: concerning any man, they saw in him.
|they gazed: Heb. הִתְבּוֹנָנוּ, they gazed.
|So shall he cast down many nations: So now, even he his hand will become powerful, and he will cast down the horns of the nations who scattered him.
|shall shut: Heb. יִקְפְּצוּ. They shall shut their mouths out of great bewilderment.
|for: honor.

ACLU sues Butler school district over registration policy targeting immigration status
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey wants the courts to stop the Butler school district from enforcing a policy that requires parents to show a photo driver's license or state or county-issued identification when they register their children for school.
The Newark-based non-profit organization, which filed a lawsuit on Friday against the district, said the procedure requiring the identifications, which can only be obtained with a Social Security number or valid immigration status, is unlawful, unconstitutional and unfairly singles out children of undocumented immigrants.
The ACLU is asking the court for an emergency injunction because when Butler was contacted with the information that the photo identification requirement was unlawful, the school district refused to rescind its rule.
"The Butler School District continues to stand by a policy that wrongly blocks certain children from the classroom based on the immigration status of their parents, even though the law unambiguously forbids it," said ACLU-NJ Senior Staff Attorney Alexander Shalom in a press release announcing the lawsuit. "Fortunately, most school districts operate within the bounds of established constitutional law, which for more than 30 years has upheld the right of all children to attend public schools, regardless of their background or origin."
It's an issue that has been found in other districts statewide in the past. The ACLU-NJ conducted a telephone survey in 2008 which found that 139 school districts statewide reported that they asked for documents that indicated immigration status, including Butler, 22 districts in Bergen County and 11 in Passaic County. Since then, the New Jersey Department of Education, has regularly reminded school districts of their obligation to enroll all local students, regardless of immigration status, according to the ACLU-NJ.
"We have reason to believe that the majority of school districts understand their obligation,'' said ACLU-NJ Deputy Legal Director Jeanne LoCicero, noting that some may have provided inaccurate information during the telephone survey. "We don't have any reason to believe that those school districts have any current issues."
Butler Schools Superintendent Mario Cardinale, who was out of the office Monday afternoon, could not be immediately reached for comment. Board of Education Attorney Jeffrey R. Merlino and Board President Matthew Lee also did not immediately return a call.
The injunction would allow Butler parents without a photo driver's license or state or county-issued identification card to register their children during the school district's enrollment period, which is being held this week. A hearing on that injunction request has been scheduled for Tuesday morning in state Superior Court in Morris County.
"We think all children are entitled to be registered during registration week, and that there is a risk that families that weren't able to register this week might be putting themselves at risk for being identified as undocumented, and we think that's a harm the court should correct,'' said LoCicero. "Moreover the law is extremely clear that these children cannot be kept out of public schools and a photo ID requirement would discriminate and burden families in a way that is unconstitutional and against New Jersey regulation."
The lawsuit points to the New Jersey state laws, and a 1982 Texas court decision which held that undocumented immigrants in the United States could not be excluded from public elementary and secondary schools based upon their immigration status.
LoCicero said that Butler's specific requirement for photo identification is a relatively new policy.
"We met with families, and learned about the issue, and so immediately contacted the school district to express our concern with the policy,'' she said.
The ACLU-NJ is asking the court to declare the Butler policy unconstitutional.
"This is the rare case where, faced with the unambiguous state of the law, a school district insists that it may exclude children – even citizen children- from access to a free, public education by imposing barriers to registration that prevent immigrant parents from completing the registration process."
The lawsuit is also seeking attorneys fees.

It has always been the most nerve-racking of fundraisers. And this year they upped the fear factor.
Not content with creating, rehearsing and presenting four new plays in a single day, the Old Vic this year added music to the mix.
And as the curtain came down on the first 24 Hour Musicals Gala last night, Haydn Gwynne — who starred in Billy Elliot — called the experience the "worst theatrical day" of her life.
"I got away with it by the skin of my teeth," said the actress, who had written her lyrics on to her hands so she did not forget them. "It was a worthy cause and everyone I worked with was lovely."
The sentiment was echoed by the rest of the cast as they celebrated the theatrical marathon with an after-show party at Vinopolis.
Some of the West End's most experienced musical stars had turned out for the challenge including Tracie Bennett, Richard Fleeshman, Laura Michelle Kelly, Nigel Lindsay and Nigel Planer, as well as actors not necessarily known for their singing prowess such as Anthony Head, Meera Syal and Luke Treadaway.
Matt Lucas compered and film star Jeff Goldblum played the piano and sang with the theatre's artistic director Kevin Spacey at the beginning of each act, duetting on numbers including Me and My Shadow.
Freddie Fox described the experience as "sensational" and said: "It was a cacophony of nerves, excitement, friendship and forgetfulness. There really was a sense of magic on stage. Disaster and miracles were an inch away from each other."
Merlin star Colin Morgan called the gala the "embodiment of 'the show must go on'" and said he had jumped at the chance to be involved. "It was a no-brainer, despite the terror."
Celia Imrie, of Calendar Girls and Bridget Jones fame, joked that she "couldn't say no to Kevin" and added: "We are a great band of people. We really, really held together in the time that we had. I'm terribly glad I did it." Laura Michelle Kelly, who was the West End's first Mary Poppins and has since starred alongside Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd, agreed — but added: "To do something like this in a day was pretty frightening."
Actress Natascha McElhone has previously taken part in the 24 Hour Plays and said: "I love to support the theatre any way I can. It's also great entertainment. But I was grateful to be in the audience rather than on the stage this time." Spacey said his team had displayed "great courage" in pulling off the event, which raised about £100,000 to help maintain the Old Vic building and fund New Voices, its education and outreach programmes. He called on private organisations to help fund the arts: "It's clear private organisations will have to stand up where governments can't."Reuse content

- A propriety blend of n•zimes™ that help fight inflammation; this blend of enzymes includes protease and trypsin.
- Turmeric'; a herb that helps stop the production of inflammation-causing proteins.
- Ginger root; which can reduce inflammation associated with joint pain and stiffness.
Inflammation is part of your body's natural response to infection or injury' and it's most often characterized by swelling and redness in the affected area. You may also feel uncomfortably hot' which is why you often get a fever when you get sick. While inflammation is supposed to help our bodies by increasing the number of antibodies your immune system uses to fight off invaders in the area' excessive inflammation can also cause harm.
Some people experience inflammation throughout their entire body as a result of a poorly functioning immune system. In certain conditions—like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis—the body's own antibodies begin to attack its vital organs' leading to chronic or long-term inflammation. Research has shown that this chronic inflammation can lead to the development of other health problems later in life.
While chronic inflammation can have a number of causes (including genetics)' it's most often the result of a lack of exercise' along with exposure to substances like tobacco smoke and pollution. Poor diet has also been linked to the development of chronic inflammation' making proper nutrition vital. A supplement like Inflammatone can help in this department as well.

These vegetarian capsules may be able to help relieve symptoms like migraine' IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)' and swelling.

Bristol police officer went above and beyond
To the editor:
My name is Aaron Dupee and I am writing on behalf of one of your finest officers, by the name of John Mylek, badge number 17.
I was on vacation July 16 to 23, spending time with my family whom I had not seen in a very long time, and my only brother whom I had not seen in 22 years. On Tuesday, July 23, my brother, David Dupee, dropped me off at the airport at 4:45 a.m. for my flight back home to California.
After going through the check point, I was informed that my flight was canceled, so I called my brother at 5:18 a.m. to let him know I was departing on the 10 a.m. flight. At roughly around 9:10 a.m., I received a call on my phone from a private number and was not going to answer the call. But something told me to answer it. It was Bristol police officer John Mylek letting me know my brother had an accident on his job and was being rushed to the Rhode Island Hospital to the trauma section. He then asked me if I had a way to get to the hospital. I said I did not because my brother dropped me off and my family lives in Norwich, about one hour away. He asked me to go to the nearest airport police area and he was going to make a call to them and see about possibly having someone transport me to the hospital, a 20-minute drive. Within five minutes there was a police officer waiting to drive me to the hospital.
I am writing because I feel that Officer Mylek went above and beyond what he had to do. I consider him a hero for his effort in helping me at a time when I needed it. If I had been in New York or California I would have not received such help and would have been given a number to a taxi service, but Mr. Mylek did not do that.
I would like the department and his fellow officers to know what he has done, and he should be recognized for this great deed he did for me. Even after I was brought to the hospital, he phoned me a few times to ask about my brother, which again, he did not have to do.
Unfortunately, my brother David did not survive his fall off the Mount Hope Bridge on July 23, 2013. But, because of Officer Mylek, I was able to be at the hospital on that day. I will only hope he can be given something for what he did for me because I will never forget this officer.
Aaron D. Dupee Jr.
Palm Springs, Calif.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice letter. My prayers are with you, your family, and your brother.
I hope that any of us who see Officer Mylek around town will thank him personally on your behalf. I know I will.
Again, my condolences for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. I will make sure to let John know how much this meant to you when I see him next.
