LXXIII, No, 24 Wt)t Mene _"WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIE^JDS OR FOES WE SK ETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT GOES" — Byron SU1VDÄY Associated Press fAP) ABILENE, TEXAS, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1954—FI FT Y-T WO PAGES IN FIVE SECTIONS PRICE DAILY 5c, SUNDAY lOc ORATORY HOT Of Demo Jobs Grand Jurors Bill 22 Abilenians Fraud in VA Loan Dealings Alleged POLICE CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTANTS—Name of the Church of Christ on its build-in^ in Rome is shown before it was chiseled off by police Saturday. It was the second crackdown in 12 hours by Italian authorities against the Protestant group in the predominately Catholic country. Italian Cops Chisel Off Name Of Church of Christ Building WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (^—Republicans brought Lincoln Day oratory tonight to a climax that mingled friendly gestures toward moderate Democrats vvilh another furious fusillade of charges that the opposition party coddled Communists. Here and there. Democrats thundered back more hot protests that the GOP is trying desperately to convince America that the Democratic party is a party of communism and treason. Same Old Records In large measure, the oratorical salvos across the land sounded much like the same records the party partisans have been playing over and over for a week or more in tune-ups for what looks like one of the roughest, bitterest congressional election campaigns in many a year. Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican leader of the Senate, held out an appreciative hand to moderate Democrats in Congress" for ''fine support" of Republican policies ''essential to the national government." But House Speaker Martin (R-Massi called upon the GOP to sweep back for all time the tide of waste, bankrupt spending and Communist coddling that carried us to the edge of ruin." And Wendell B. Barnes, head of the Federal Small Business Administration, wrapped together in one .speech all the Republican accusations that have been hiking Democratic tempers to the boiling point. Communist Coddling In his prepared text, Barnes spoke, too, of Communist coddling and lit into ''fuzzy-minded New Deal Democrats" as ''gloom and doom people" w'ho now are peddling a ''fear deal" and ''scare talk." While playing politics with human misery and the safety of the free world, he said, "they are crying all over the place and threatening to sabotage needed legislation if the President doesn't halt these terrible accusations." From Sen. Holland (D-Fla> came a counter blast that Republicans are trying to cover up disunity and an inability to get things done. "Hence." he said, "for want of sound political arguments and despite announced disapproval by the President, a few of their loudest political voices are now desperately branding our party as the party of treason and corruption. "These false and intemperate charges will come back like a boomerang upon those who hurled CHILD DIES IN BLAZE — Four-year-old Carol Wagner burned to death in Syracuse, N.

Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd's questions dealt with things that happened during his trip to Duval County this week to carry on what he calls a fight to rid the South Texas area of "boss rule." SEE YOU FOLKS MONDAY! Dewaii -tlx Atoflce the evening edition, ABILENE REP0RTERNEW8 Federal and state officers and the Duval County Grand Jury are investigating affairs of Parr, the county and two county school districts. Shepperd is trying to have the grand jury dismissed, claiming seven of its members have business or political ties with Parr that keep them from being fair. Parr has long been known as the "Duke of Duval," political boss and "patron" of the county's predominantly Latin-American population. His father. Archer Parr, had the him. Shepperd's questions, addressed to Parr In a prepared statement, were: "I. Why did 10 Duval County and M'hool officials resign during the Duval County visit of Sheppard' "2. Where are the records which testimony of federal tax and mail officials indicated are missing from the files of Duval County and the Benavides School District*' "3. Why did Duval County Audit-tor invoke the F i f t h Amendjnent ment and refuse to testify regard-i Ing his records when called upon to do so by Dist. Judge Arthur .A. Klein of Brownsville?" Parr could not be reached for comment on Shepi>erd's questions. Reporters who called his home in ' San Diego were told the "Duke > of Duval" was out at his ranch, i where there Is no telephone, shipping cattle and had not left word when he would» return. Shepperd said his questions covered the three most significant developments of his visit to Duval County. State Auditor C. H.

Church leaders denied strongly his charges. Criticism Increases In recent weeks Roman Catholic authorities have increased their criticism of Protestant activités in Italy. In the first collective letter of its kind, cardinal archbishops of eight major Italian cities and archbishops and bishops of 11 other same nickname before j (.¡ties declared that "pernicious errors are arising in Italy from Protestant propaganda. which tends to menace the spiritual unity of the Italian people." Terms of the Lateran Pact be-! tween the Vatican and Italy establish Roman Catholicism as the state religion. Article eight of Italy's consitution says "all religious confessions are equal before ' the law." The U.S. Embassy said it de-; plored the misunderstandings that in Washington that "the only people who are disturbed by what a politician says are other politicians."

By DICK T.ARPLEY and GEORGIA NELSON Thirty-seven persons, including 22 Abilenians, have been indicted by a Federal District Court grand jury on charges of defrauding the government in connection with Veterans Administration housing loans. The secret indictments were returned in Dallas Feb. 4. but were not released until warrants had been served by deputy U.S. marshals. Names of six of the 37 are still being withheld pending service of warrants. The indictments alleged that the 37 persons made "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements and representations'' in obtaining VA loans. District Attorney Heard L. Floore of Fort Worth said that the indictments resulted from an investigation by VA agents last year into reports that builders, real estate men and purchasers got veterans to make loans with the intent to .sell the loans immediately to another prospective homc-builder who had no GI rights. There were only nine in dictments, but they involved 72 counts. Several persons were involved in each count, u.sually. $500 Bonds Set Bond of $.>00 was set by .ludge T. Whitfield Davidson on each indictment, Bonds are returnable at Lubbock in U. S. District Court May 3. Maximum punishment for conviction on each,count, Floorc said, is $10,000 fine or five years in prison, or both. The charge is violation of the False Claims Ad. Title 18, Section 1001, U. S. Code. Floore said the investigation by the grand jury is incomplete. The grand Jury will continue Us probe at its next meeting, he said. No veterans who disposed of their rights to GI loans by giving or selling them to other persons were indicted in the case.s, Floore said. Floore said a person who "aids, abets, coun.sels, induces" or otherwise cau.ses a veteran to take part In an illegal transfer of hi.s V.A loan rights i.s Just as guilty, under the law, as a j>erson who actually take.s part in the transaction, Harde.st hit wa.s the family of Raymond Thomason Sr., of Abilene, head of Thoma.son Enfer-prtses, which includes River Oaks addition. Lone Star Lumber Co.. and Abilene and Midland building contract work. Faces 48 Counts Raymond Thomason Sr. faces 48 counts in six indictment". One son, Raymond Thomason Jr. was indicted on 15 counts in three indictments, and another son. Monty Don, was indicted on eight counts in two Indictments. Monty Don's wife, Anetta, was indicted on five counts in a single Indictment. Helen McMurry, sl.ster-In-law of Raymond Thomason Sr. and well-known Abilene building contractor, was Indicted on seven counts in one indictment. The Thoma.son firm is one of Abilene's largest residential developers. It has built hundreds of homes .since the war, in northwest Abilene, in an area south of South 20th St., and in other sections.

Feb. 13 Ru.ssia served notice tonight its price for withdrawal of Red troops from Austria is abandonment of the American - backed European defense system. Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov refused to roll back the Iron Curtain from the Danubian republic, despite renewed appeals from the three Western Powers and Leopold Figl, the Austrian foreign minister. Red Garrison Asked Molotov cited to the foreign minister' conference here the buildup of Americcn and Westeni strength generally In Europe as the reason for his demand that Austria, even if granted "independence", must be garrisoned by the Soviet army until the German peace treaty is signed. He added that it would facilitate matters in eventually freeing Austria "if the three Western Powers —the United States, France and Britain—were to reject their plans regarding the setting up of the European Defense Community and a resurgence of German mill-tari.sm." The East-W'est deadlock over Austria remained unaltered despite more than four hours* argument. It followed a private talk between Molotov and U. S.

We get it: face wash usually seem to do more harm than good, leaving skin dry, red, and irritated. But that's not so with this mild gel cleanser from hip brand stila. Even after you've rinsed your face, its formula works all day to keep pores moisturized and your skin looking bright.
I use this as my daily cleaner. I remove my eye makeup first, and then use this for the rest of my face. It has a refreshing feeling, almost like there's peppermint in it. It's not burning, but a tingling cool feeling. I love it. It also doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry.5
I decided to try this because my other (more expensive) face wash was leaving me too oily and I wasn't able to use my face cream without looking too shiny! After just two days, I noticed that my usually visible pores were not so visible and I felt my face was cleaner than ever before and wasn't too oily, even with my face cream on top! That being said, I don't think this would be ideal for someone with dry skin.4

Rotich Claims NCAA Title
June 7, 2013
Eugene, Ore. – Sophomore Anthony Rotich shocked the nation as he stormed out in the final lap of the men's 3,000m steeplechase and claimed the NCAA title in the third day of the NCAA Championships in Hayward Field.
"The plan was to make a move with 400-meters to go and just run through the line," said National Champion Anthony Rotich. "At first I thought this guy (Henry Lelei) has been doing it for four years and this is only my second year and for someone that has done it for a long time he has experience, but I think this was my day."
The distance runner sat within the leading group of three throughout the whole race, but when the bell rang for the final lap the race between Rotich and Texas A&M's Henry Lelei began. Both competitors would not relent as they battled for the leading spot.
It all came down to the final water barrier where Lelei fell as he was jumping over the barrier giving Rotich the edge as he ran through the finish line with a personal-best time of 8:21.19.
"At first, I thought it was me who fell down," said Rotich. "Then when I looked to the left I saw that Lelei fell down.
His time not only makes him the school record holder in the steeplechase, but also was the seventh-fastest collegiate time. Rotich is UTEP's first NCAA Champion on the men's team since 2008 when Mickael Hanany won the high jump in the Orange and Blue.
"We knew he had a lot of strength," said associate head coach Paul Ereng. "But the steeplechase is a very complex event because you have to jump over all the barriers and water."
Nickevea Wilson wrapped up her first season in the Orange and Blue finishing eighth in the first flight of the women's triple jump. The sophomore posted a personal-best leap of 12.77m (41-10.75) in her third and final attempt at the championship concluding the season 17th overall.
Representing the Miners on the final day of the NCAA Championships will be Mark Jackson in the men's triple jump at 1:30 p.m. (MT) and Janice Jackson in the 100m hurdles final at 4:09 p.m.

|Morning skate notes: James Reimer starting for Leafs
|12.03.11 at 11:42 am ET
The Bruins got back on the ice Saturday morning in anticipation for the second game of a home-and-home with the Maple Leafs. Boston currently leads Toronto by one point in the Northeast division after Wednesday's 6-3 victory at Air Canada Centre.
All of the regulars were on the ice for the Bruins Saturday morning, with the exception of defenseman Steven Kampfer and forward Jordan Caron. Both players were sent to Providence Wednesday so they could get some game action, and both players played in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Connecticut Whale. Caron had an assist, while Kampfer went without a point and had an even rating.
One are that remains a bit of a question mark for Saturday is the Leafs' goaltending situation. Jonas Gustavsson is slated to be the starter, but No. 1 netminder James Reimer has been cleared to play.
[UPDATE: 12:32 pm] Both Reimer and coach Ron Wilson told reporters that it will indeed be Reimer in net. The Leafs have not lost a game in regulation this season with Reimer in net (4-0-1).
|Steven Kampfer more comfortable this time around with knee injuries in rear-view mirror
|11.12.11 at 12:33 pm ET
Normally when a player returns to the lineup after a long stretch without game action, there's some sort of an adjustment as far as comfort goes. In Steven Kampfer's case, Saturday may be just the opposite.
Kampfer will play for the first time since Oct. 22 when he skates Saturday in place of Andrew Ference, who is dealing with a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old blueliner played two games last month, but was coming off his second knee injury in a matter of months at the time. Now, he's a month and a half removed from the left knee sprain he suffered on Sept. 29 against the Senators, and as a result, feels more comfortable physically than he did in his October cameo.
"Definitely," Kampfer said when asked whether he feels better now than when he last played. "I think a couple extra weeks definitely helps. I think it was good to kind of let it heal and get a little bit more comfortable and a little bit more confidence. I think now, being a couple months [after] it, it definitely feels a lot better, and I can tell that on the ice."
The team's seventh defenseman, Kampfer has had to use practice to get his speed and other attributes back. He's also worked with power-skating instructor Besa Tsintsadze. It's been a process for Kampfer, who injured his right knee at the end of the regular season while playing for Providence, to get back to where he wants to be, but he hopes he's there now.
"Moving my feet, getting my speed back, the first couple of steps," Kampfer said of what he's been working on. "It takes a little bit of time to get back after sustaining a couple knee injuries. '¦ It's those first two or three steps, your lateral mobility and stuff like that. It feels better now."
Said coach Claude Julien: "He's been working hard in practice, and I think this is an opportunity for him now to come into a game and play the way he can. '¦ You've got to understand that he hasn't played in a while, so we can't put our expectations too high but more, get a solid performance from him and a simple game. That's all we're going to need from Kampfer tonight. And then he'll just work his way in, and feel better I'm sure as we move forward."
Saturday will be Kampfer's third game of the season and fourth career game against the Sabres. In three games against Buffalo last year, Kampfer picked up a goal and an assist.
|Steven Kampfer likely to make season debut, David Krejci a game-time decision
|10.20.11 at 12:11 pm ET
David Krejci will be a game-time decision against the Maple Leafs Thursday night, with defenseman Steven Kampfer "likely" to play and Adam McQuaid out, Bruins coach Claude Julien said after the team's morning skate.
Krejci has been out since injuring his core in last Tuesday's practice but has returned to skating and practicing with the team this week. If he is to play, he will likely skate on a line with Rich Peverley and either Jordan Caron or Benoit Pouliot. Julien also indicated that lines could be changed if Krejci does not play, but Peverley has centered the third line with Caron and Pouliot at points in practice over the last two days.
Kampfer suffered a left knee sprain in the team's Sept. 29 preseason game agaisnt the Senators. With the Bruins sending Matt Bartkowski to Providence and McQuaid still out with a neck injury (he did not participate in morning skate), the indication is that Kampfer will play.
"Medically I'm cleared for contact and everything like that," Kampfer said after the morning skate. "'¦ Obvioiusly it's [Julien's] call what the deal is for today, but I'm going to prepare as if I'm going to play."
Should something go wrong with Kampfer during the day, Julien said the Bruins would call someone up from Providence.
Tim Thomas was the first goaltender off the ice, meaning he is expected to get the start against Toronto.
|Steven Kampfer takes contact early, collides with Milan Lucic in first practice back
|10.17.11 at 12:58 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins defenseman Steven Kampfer, who is coming off a sprained left knee injury suffered in the preseason, practiced Monday with the expectation that he would begin taking contact the next day. Tuesday came a little early for Kampfer when he and Milan Lucic collided in the final minutes of practice, leaving Kampfer down on the ice for a moments before taking a knee and eventually getting up.
"I guess we were supposed to wait till tomorrow for that," Kampfer said with a laugh after practice, noting that he was fine following the hit.
Kamper was skating backwards when Lucic turned into him, a hit that neither saw coming and one that at least for a moment provided a bit of a scare to onlookers.
"I actually felt fine getting hit like that, and not expecting it," Kampfer said. "I guess that kind of eases the mind a little bit, to know that you can get hit and it doesn't hurt anything."
If Kamfper were to have been injured in practice, there would be no knee left to injure for the first time. He suffered a right knee injury while playing for Providence late last season and sprained the left knee on Sept. 29 against the Senators. He took the ice this weekend, starting with light skating in circles before returning to practice on Monday.
"I think going through it [with the other knee last season] definitely helps," Kampfer said. "Obviously this one wasn't nearly as severe as the last one, so to get back and start skating, you know you're going to feel the tweaks and pulls and everything like that, so it's kind of comfortable to get back and start skating."
Kampfer noted that he did not feel any pain or discomfort when turning, which was his biggest worry heading in. He figures to be a good bet to replace Matt Bartkowski as the team's seventh defenseman once he does get healthy, though that remains to be seen. RIght now, the second-year defenseman is just happy to be making progress.
"It feels like it's getting there, so obviously we'll see in a couple of days when it keeps getting better," Kampfer said of his knee. "Right now it feels good."
WILMINGTON — The Bruins returned to practice Monday at Ristuccia Arena, with a couple of injured defenseman taking part in the skate. Adam McQuaid, who suffered a head last Wednesday, was back on the ice after missing Saturday's game. Steven Kampfer is back to skating with the team after suffering a sprained left knee in the Bruins' Sept. 29 preseason game against the Senators.
David Krejci did not take the ice Monday. He suffered a core injury during last Tuesday's practice. With Krejci out, Tyler Seguin remains on the first line with Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic.
|Steven Kampfer could begin skating this week
|10.10.11 at 12:56 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Steven Kampfer has been off the ice since he awkwardly fell following a Sept. 29 hit from Senators defenseman Jared Cowen and sprained his MCL. The team said at the time that he would be out for two to four weeks with the injury, and on Monday Claude Julien said he could begin skating this week.
Julien said there's a possibility Kampfer could travel with the team to Carolina and Chicago, but that "it will all depend on our medical staff." Once Kampfer returns, it will be interesting to see if he will become the team's seventh defenseman or be sent to Providence.
|Steven Kampfer injures left knee, MRI scheduled for Friday
|09.29.11 at 10:26 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Steven Kampfer put forth a strong bid to start the season in Boston with his performance Thursday, but it was an injury suffered late in the Bruins' 2-1 loss to the Senators that may have taken him out of the equation.
Kampfer suffered a left knee injury on a hit from Senators defenseman Jared Cowen. B's coach Claude Julien said after the game that Kampfer would have an MRI on Friday, and that he had liked what he saw out of the defenseman prior to the injury. Kampfer entered the game competing with Matt Bartkowski for the seventh defense spot.
"They're both pretty good," Julien said. "Actually, I thought Kampfer was having a real good night and skating and moving the puck."
Kampfer injured his right knee and was on crutches late last season.

AN eagle-eyed art lover has helped a gallery reclaim a painting that was stolen more than two years ago.
The Boundary Gallery in Swiss Cottage, run by Agi Katz, was the victim of a conman who stole three paintings by celebrated contemporary painter Anita Klein from a show in 2009.
But this week one of the paintings was returned to the gallery in Boundary Road after someone who had once bought a Klein print spotted it for sale for £2,500 in the window of a Moroccan knick-knack shop on Harrow Road and was so surprised to see it available, she sent the artist a picture to check it was not a forgery.
Ms Katz, who personally lost £10,500 from the scam, was overjoyed to have one of the three paintings returned to her by police officers.
And she now hopes the other two may also be found.
The scam happened on the last day of a major retrospective of Ms Klein's work at the Boundary Gallery.
Two weeks before it closed, a well-dressed businessman purporting to be a restaurant owner, showed up and declared an interest in the work.
The mysterious individual had admired the paintings and told Ms Katz that he wanted three of them for a new Italian restaurant he was opening on the Fulham Road in west London.
He then said he wanted to pay the £10,500 price immediately and used details from a credit card that later turned out to have been stolen.
To make matters worse, the gallery was not insured for this type of theft.
In a further twist Ms Katz decided to visit the address of the supposed restaurant in Chelsea only to discover it was a bridal wear shop – and it had been hit by the same scam.
She added: "I spoke to the owner and they said they had lost two expensive dresses on the same weekend, when a man fitting the description of the person who stole my paintings came in and said his sisters were getting married in Morocco and he'd been asked to get them outfits."
Police raided the Harrow Road shop and found the painting, which has now been returned. No arrests have yet been made.
Artist Ms Klein said: "I got an email from someone I had never met before who had once bought a print of my work.
"They liked the painting in the shop window but thought it was a strange place to see it for sale, so they sent me a picture to make it was a genuine piece of my work.
"At the time it was very nice to make the sale, but in retrospect it was too good to be true."
Ms Klein, who went to Hampstead School, is widely celebrated and can be found in the collections of both the British Library and the British Museum. It meant the sale was not out of the ordinary.

In your November 19 editorial "Whose Jerusalem?" you accurately point out that, from 1948 to 1967, much of East Jerusalem was part of the "West Bank." However, the editorial draws the wrong conclusion from this important piece of history.
In 1947, U.N. Resolution 181 created not only a Jewish state out of the British Mandate, but also an independent Arab state. And after the 1948 war, East Jerusalem was also under Arab control.
If the creation of an independent Palestinian state with a capital in Jerusalem is so critical today, why wasn't this accomplished when the West Bank and East Jerusalem were all under Arab control prior to 1967? Why would there need to be another war in 1967?
The future status of Jerusalem is certainly an incredibly complex issue, but the puzzle will never be solved unless we all remember our modern history lessons and learn from them.

Ewa Kupiec
Page Tools
Melba Hall, May 10
Following three consecutive performances last weekend of the Chopin Concerto No. 1 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Polish pianist Ewa Kupiec appeared in the Impresaria recital series in front of an enthusiastic house on Tuesday.
In the night's first half, Kupiec played Janacek's On an Overgrown Path, two books of miniatures in which the first set has suggestive, Debussy-like titles, while the five parts of Book 2 give nothing away and are known only by their performance directions - Andante, Vivo, Allegretto.
These 15 pieces are rarely heard together; most pianists learn one and employ it for encores. As a sequence, the albums outline and illustrate the composer's language of terse utterances and piercing ardour, with glimpses of the white-hot expressiveness that breaks out in his operas. Kupiec brought a persuasive intensity to this series, following each startling melodic trajectory with clear dedication.
American composer Randall Myers wrote A Ring around Silence in 1996 for Kupiec and it underlines her credentials as an interpreter of contemporary piano music. A suite with four contrasting sections, it runs a pretty full gamut of sound-production techniques, from a fierce martellato to an inquiring sonorous haze, with some unusually effective writing in the second half involving playing the keyboard while plucking the instrument's strings. The work maintains interest chiefly through its demands on the performer and its cleverly juxtaposed textures.
Instead of a bouquet of Chopin favourites, Kupiec opted for the Sonata No. 2, the Funeral March.
In fact, the famous dirge is surrounded by three movements requiring extraordinary virtuosity, music that moves rapidly and elliptically in a sequence of muffled explosions, shudders and whispers that show a singular aspect of the composer's psyche, one that is never revisited at such length.
Kupiec performed the work's first half as a two-part continuum, making no attempt to lighten the texture or put pointed sparkle into the fierce and uncompromising forward rush of the score.
She set a blistering pace for the shadowy final Presto to conclude an interpretation that faced the sonata's problems squarely, accounting for its disturbing sound-world with a masterful honesty.

I'm looking for some recommendations about what is the cheaper caliber to shoot? It seems like 7.62 is harder to come by and is more expensive in South Atlanta. Is it the same everywhere, or is it just the post election rush? Also, has 7.62 always been more expensive than 5.56/.223 or is it a recent phenomenon.
The reason I as is that I'm considering selling an SKS that my father gave me and replacing with an AR-15. Which would be cheaper in the long run?

If it is 7.62x39, then if you can find a decent supply of surplus then yes it is cheaper. Commerially right now however it is pretty close to the same price.

Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.
Reloading is cheaper. But, FWIW, I just got 100 rounds of Silver Bear 7.62 for 39.99, and 100 Brown bear .223 for 34.99 last weekend. Back when I got my AK a few years ago 7.62 was a lot cheaper than it is now though.
I'd use other criteria as the basis for weapon selection other than cheap ammo, like what the rifle is going to be used for, both are fine weapons systems though.

Look for an AK that shoots 5.45x39. You will pay more for the gun but after a case or two of ammo you have made up the difference.

If you want to piss off a conservative, lie to him.
If you want to piss off a liberal, tell him the truth.
7.62x39 is cheaper to shoot than 5.56x45 - 5.45x39 is almost as cheap as dirt.
Forgive my ignorance, but can you get an AR-15 chambered in 5.45x39?
That depends on how much ammo you have for each. I have more 7.62x39 than 5.56 or .223, so technically the 7.62 is cheaper for me. However.....all of my 5.56/.223 is brass cased, and I can sell the once fired cases for reloading, so maybe it comes out even for me. I haven't been shooting anything lately that I cannot restock.7.62 vs 5.56 Which is cheaper to shoot?
You'll want to swap the entire upper and not just the barrel. This includes the bolt as it wears with the chamber and can cause problems even if you swap bolts between 2 identically chambered uppers.
My AR is chambered to 5.56, I'm considering getting an upper in 6.8mm for hunting (if I ever pick up hunting). You can also get them in 7.62x39, 6.5mm Grendel, .50 Beowulf, and a variety of other rifle and pistol calibers.
"and suddenly I can not hold back my sword hand's anger"
Is this a trick question? They both the cost the same to shoot: $0. That's because my 5.56 upper has been back-ordered for months and because nobody has either ammo in stock. That really keeps costs down!

J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, was the Harvard University commencement speaker this year. Her themes were the benefits of failure and the importance of imagination. Some excerpts:
On this wonderful day when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure. And as you stand on the threshold of what is sometimes called 'real life', I want to extol the crucial importance of imagination.
Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.
So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
You might think that I chose my second theme, the importance of imagination, because of the part it played in rebuilding my life, but that is not wholly so. Though I will defend the value of bedtime stories to my last gasp, I have learned to value imagination in a much broader sense. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other people's minds, imagine themselves into other people's places.

Don't expect to find Mike McCarthy providing updates from the Super Bowl on Twitter.
The Green Bay Packers coach -- whose team was embroiled in a Twitter-related controversy last week -- on Wednesday explained how he feels about the social-media network.
"I won't even let my daughter have a Facebook account, so I think that tells you what I think about Twitter," McCarthy said. "I wouldn't even know how to access a Twitter account right now. I understand it's an important part of the network, but that's something personally I have zero interest in."
Last week, Packers players Nick Barnett and Jermichael Finley complained on Twitter that they and other players on injured reserve were being left out of the Super Bowl week festivities until Thursday. McCarthy later cleared the air and said it was a "non-issue," but not before saying the players made a "poor decision" to criticize the team publicly on Twitter.
The Packers have an official Twitter account with which they provide news updates. And other NFL head coaches, such as Seattle's Pete Carroll and Detroit's Jim Schwartz, have active Twitter accounts.
But McCarthy is happy to leave the Twitter talk to others.
What's his advice to players about Twitter?
"It was really a situation we dealt with, and as long as our football team is not distracted by it, I don't feel like it's an issue," McCarthy said. "But it was talked about."
The coach also said he would be taking his team inside to practice on Wednesday at Highland Park High School in Dallas.

Just so you know, To Sir With Love II has just been released on region 1 DVD through Sony's manufacturing on demand program. I'm not sure how it compares with the Warner Archive program, but it is pretty neat.
For anyone that enjoys classic films and the history of the movies, you owe to yourself to see DIRECTED BY JOHN FORD. Ford was one of the pioneers of cinema and his career is well chronicaled in this insightful documentry.
Mr. Bogdanovich:
I saw At Long Last Love again via Netfilx streaming (not an easy film to see, by the way) and the aspect ratio seemed a bit tight to me. The Internet Movie Database lists it as 1.85:1, but did you perhaps shoot it open matte? I saw it at the Music Hall in its initial engagement and I could swear it looked more like 1.37:1, tipping its top hat to the period.

- Video Profile
- Biography
- Dr. Jessica Sternfeld joins the faculty of Chapman University after relocating from the east coast, where most recently she served as Assistant Professor of Music (tenure track) and head of the Music History Division in the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Rhode Island College. Her work with students, whether music majors, grad students, or non-majors, focuses on grounding each musical piece in its context, exploring not only the music but its meaning, audience, and cultural significance. Some of her courses include musical theater on stage and film; opera; American popular music and song; political and social movements in music; and the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras of Western art music.
Wesleyan University granted Dr. Sternfeld a B.A. with honors in music, with focuses in music history and choral conducting. She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in musicology from Princeton University in 2002, where her graduate studies included opera and culture, specialized topics in Western art music, and gender studies across disciplines.
Her book, The Megamusical (2006, Indiana University Press), is the first to explore the phenomenon of the blockbuster musicals of the last thirty years. It discusses both the internal workings and the external cultural features of the "megamusical." She is currently at work on her next book, which explores the new boom in musical theater across different media, especially television; in other words, her work involves making scholarly work out of High School Musical, Glee, and The Glee Project, among other things.
She also contributed a new chapter to the second edition (2008) of the Cambridge Companion to the Musical, on the subject of musical revivals, films, television productions, and recordings. With ethnomusicologist Elizabeth Wollman, she co-wrote the chapter "After the 'Golden Age'" for The Oxford Handbook of American Musical Theatre and Film (2011). She has also authored numerous other chapters and articles (including a piece on Damn Yankees and the culture of the 1950s, and another on the texts and contexts of Rent, as well as twelve new articles for the leading source of American music history, the Grove Dictionary of American Music) and delivered many national conference papers. She is an active member of the Society for American Music, the American Musicological Society, the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, and the College Music Society.
Among her previous posts, Dr. Sternfeld taught academic writing in the Princeton University Writing Program, and continues to work with students on writing, no matter the musical topic. She was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Center for the Arts in Society at Carnegie Mellon University, and has also held teaching posts in the music departments at the University of Pittsburgh, Duke University, and California State University, Long Beach. She is a member of the Editorial Board of Studies in Musical Theatre and the American Music Research Center Journal and served as a Guest Editor of a special edition of the journal Studies in Musical Theatre, published in June 2011. Besides her work in musicology and music history, Dr. Sternfeld is a trained classical and theater singer, and enjoys choral singing and conducting as well as musical theater directing and coaching of composers, lyricists, and performers.

The business platform : developing an instrument to gauge and assist the development of young firms
Davidsson, Per & Klofsten, Magnus (2003) The business platform : developing an instrument to gauge and assist the development of young firms. Journal of Small Business Management, 41(1), pp. 1-26.
|Accepted Version (PDF 216kB)
The research presented here addresses the following problems that we perceive in research on the development of young firms. First, we feel there is a lack of holistic, yet quantifiable and generalizable ways to assess the state of newly started firms. Quantitative research typically relies on additive models that are unable to explain more than half of the outcome variance, at the most. Holistic approaches tend to be qualitative and therefore have unknown generalizability. Second, we feel there is a lack of action-oriented assessment models that are firmly anchored in research. Research models typically take a passive prediction position rather than being action-oriented, and often build on relationships that give little hands-on advice to managers. Numerous practical tools for assessing and developing firms during their early development can be found in the 'how to' literature, but these are typically not anchored in systematic research and therefore have unknown validity. Hence, what we set out to do in the research presented in this article is to develop a quantifiable, holistic and action-oriented instrument for assessing and assisting the development of young firms.

In the first three installments of our Great Crate Update series, we tested a wide range of modifications on our GM Performance Parts (GMPP) LS2 crate engine. After installing two different types of roller rockers, a mild Comp cam, and a FAST intake manifold in Part 1 (Nov. '06, p. 72), we staged a no-holds-barred intake shootout in Part 2 (Dec. '06, p. 56). The third part (Feb. '07, p. 62) saw an NOS nitrous kit twist the dyno needle to 633 hp, after which an intercooled Vortech supercharger (sans nitrous) pushed the total to more than 700 hp.
A FAST XFI engine-management system was employed throughout, as well as a crankcase full of Lucas synthetic oil, a set of Hooker long-tube headers, and a Meziere electric water pump. Since the LS2 was equipped with a drive-by-wire throttle body, we also took the liberty of replacing the factory unit with a manually operated 90mm version from FAST.
For this month's story, we set aside the power adders in favor of a hotter cam and a set of CNC-ported cylinder heads from Total Engine Airflow. For the cam side of the equation, we selected an XER281HR grind right out of the Comp catalog. This dual-pattern unit offers a 0.595-/0.598-inch lift split, a 232-/234-degree duration split, and a 112-degree lobe-separation angle. While we expected the extra lift to pay big dividends with the ported heads, we were also curious to see how the new cam would perform when paired with the factory LS2 castings.
Before running the new cam, we reestablished a baseline with the milder XR265HR grind from our first story. Thus equipped, the LS2 motor produced 486 hp-15 horses shy of the 501hp max achieved in Part 1. We made timing sweeps, air/fuel sweeps, and even performed a compression test in an attempt to account for the disparity. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, we chalked the difference up to the fact that our previous test session took place on a different dyno. Since we were more concerned with power gains than absolute numbers, we decided to continue our test.
The cam swap was completed in record time-Gen III swaps are not difficult on the engine dyno-and we were ready to tune. After duplicating the air/fuel and timing curves used with the smaller cam, we were rewarded with a peak reading of 530 hp. The XER281HR cam offered more power from 4,200 rpm up, and it lost only a few lb-ft of torque below that point. Given the extra 44 peak horsepower, that's a worthwhile tradeoff.
Next, we turned our attention to the cylinder heads. Off came the factory LS2 units, and on went the new ported versions from Total Engine Airflow (TEA). The TEAs started life as 243 castings, the same as our factory jobs. Unlike our stockers, these were treated to a full CNC port job, including work on the intake and exhaust ports, as well as the combustion chambers. Thanks to this porting make-over, intake and exhaust flow checked in at 340 cfm and 263 cfm, respectively.
Because the CNC work increases the size of the combustion chamber, it is necessary to mill the TEA heads in order to duplicate the factory compression ratio. Unfortunately, in our haste to install the heads on our test engine, we managed to omit this step. As a result, compression was actually reduced by as much as 0.50 points as compared with our previous tests. We suspect this reduction cost us approximately 8-10 hp through the entire rev range.
With the TEA heads in place, peak output jumped from 530 hp to 575. There was a minimal loss of power down low, but this was likely attributable to the drop in compression. Past 4,500 rpm, the power gains offered by the TEA heads increased with engine speed.
In addition to the huge performance improvement, we liked the fact that the CNC-ported casting bolted in place as a factory head does. There was no need to change pushrod length or install aftermarket rocker arms. Instead, we replaced the factory head gaskets with Fel-Pro units and reused the factory rockers and pushrods.
Given that our mild-mannered LS2 was now producing 575 hp, we couldn't help but wonder how a pair of turbochargers might affect output. Surely 700 hp was possible, but what about 800? Will the stock GMPP LS2 short-block take that kind of stress? Check back with us next time for the answer.
GMPP LS2 Crate Motor, Comp XR265HR vs. Comp XER281HR
We were pleasantly surprised by the broad power band offered by the larger XER281HR cam. Peak output jumped from 486 hp to 530 hp, and there was no significant penalty in low-speed torque production. The larger cam lost a few lb-ft from 3,000 rpm to 4,200 rpm, but these losses were minor compared with the massive gain in horsepower at the top of the rev range.
GMPP LS2 Crate Motor, Stock Heads vs. TEA CNC-ported
After witnessing the power gains offered by the hotter cam, we were curious to see how much additional power we could obtain with a set of CNC-ported heads from Total Engine Airflow. According to TEA, these heads flow a whopping 340/263 cfm (intake/exhaust) at 0.650 lift. This extra airflow proved its worth by boosting peak power from 530 hp to 575 hp. Unfortunately, an installation oversight resulted in a 0.50 point loss of compression as compared with stock. Had we been able to match the factory compression ratio, our peak numbers would have been even more impressive.

Week Ahead for Monday 8th July
This will be the last meeting of European Parliament Committees prior to a summer break. The Parliament will reconvene week commencing 26 August
Monday 8th July
As part of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, Vicky will be attending a meeting with Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank.
Tuesday 9th July
Vicky will take part in a debate on long term investment. Vicky has frequently argued that EU legislation on financial services is restricting long term investors such as pension funds and insurance companies and thus constraining private sector investments in infrastucture.s
Vicky will vote on the Industry, Research and Energy Committee.
Vicky will meet with the Countryside Alliance to discuss the rural economy, the impact of EU legislation on shooting in the UK, with particular reference to lead shot ammunition, and invasive alien species. Vicky has been supporting the CLA campaign to prevent a further ban on lead shot in the UK, arguing that other countries should instead follow the UK in banning use of lead shot in wetlands.
Vicky will attend the Annual General Assembly of New Direction, a Conservative think tank supporting the reform of the UK's relationship with the EU.
Wednesday 10th July
Vicky will take part in final negotiations on the Recovery and Resolution Directive as part of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee. This Directive relates to how cross-border bank failures are prevented and managed. Vicky has successfully led an opposition to proposals which involve the UK having to pay into bailout funds and has succeeded in getting amendments passed which permit the UK to use its bank levy system as an alternative. This issue has become more highly charged in the UK given the Co-operative's bank's financial situation, bringing to light the need to strike a balance between authorities having the flexibility to deal with each crisis differently and legal certainty for investors.
Vicky will be holding a "constituency surgery" for MPs in Westminster. Vicky is the first MEP to hold such surgeries. She finds this allows individual MPs to discuss directly EU issues which affect their own constituents. This time she will be meeting 7 MPs from Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire.
Thursday 11th July
Vicky will attend a seminar on Cambridge City Council to discuss the Mobilising Local Energy Investment project. This local project aims to drive economic growth in the area and provide sustainable energy security. This has been partly funded through EU grants.
Vicky is visiting the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to discuss the EU proposals on Data Protection and their potential impact on medical and scientific research.
Vicky is visiting The Welding Institute in Cambridge to discuss the £65 billion EU programme for science and research (Horizon 2020) and how this might help develop high value manufacturing for the UK.
Friday 12th July
Vicky will be joining volunteers on the River Waveney to look at work they have done to control floating pennywort, a highly invasive species.
Saturday 13 July
Vicky will be opening Beeston village fete in Norfolk. Vicky visited Beeston primary school in 2010 to see their pioneering project bringing broadband to a very rural area.

The Best Mystery and Detective Stories HTML version
The Confession
Marguerite de Thérelles was dying. Although but fifty-six, she seemed like seventy-five
at least. She panted, paler than the sheets, shaken by dreadful shiverings, her face
convulsed, her eyes haggard, as if she had seen some horrible thing.
Her eldest sister, Suzanne, six years older, sobbed on her knees beside the bed. A little
table drawn close to the couch of the dying woman, and covered with a napkin, bore two
lighted candles, the priest being momentarily expected to give extreme unction and the
communion, which should be the last.
The apartment had that sinister aspect, that air of hopeless farewells, which belongs to the
chambers of the dying. Medicine bottles stood about on the furniture, linen lay in the
corners, pushed aside by foot or broom. The disordered chairs themselves seemed
affrighted, as if they had run, in all the senses of the word. Death, the formidable, was
there, hidden, waiting.
The story of the two sisters was very touching. It was quoted far and wide; it had made
many eyes to weep.
Suzanne, the elder, had once been madly in love with a young man, who had also been in
love with her. They were engaged, and were only waiting the day fixed for the contract,
when Henry de Lampierre suddenly died.
The despair of the young girl was dreadful, and she vowed that she would never marry.
She kept her word. She put on widow's weeds, which she never took off.
Then her sister, her little sister Marguérite, who was only twelve years old, came one
morning to throw herself into the arms of the elder, and said: "Big Sister, I do not want
thee to be unhappy. I do not want thee to cry all thy life. I will never leave thee, never,
never! I—I, too, shall never marry. I shall stay with thee always, always, always!"
Suzanne, touched by the devotion of the child, kissed her, but did not believe.
Yet the little one, also, kept her word, and despite the entreaties of her parents, despite the
supplications of the elder, she never married. She was pretty, very pretty; she refused
many a young man who seemed to love her truly; and she never left her sister more.

For many of us, the weekend flies right by and before we know it, we start gearing up for the week ahead. Well, we have a little something up our sleeves that will help get you through your weekday dilemmas with our 10 amazingly delicious lunch recipes. Now you won't have to wait for the weekend to roll around to enjoy a hearty meal. You'll be too excited for lunch to even think that far in advance!
In my years of nutrition counselling, I have noticed that lunch often seems to be the forgotten meal. People say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner is almost always the biggest meal of the day. But what about lunch? Lunch should make up almost one-third of your daily nutrition intake -- shouldn't that be important?
Defined as Eclectic West Coast cuisine, Chef Michael Hay elaborates on Beaumont Kitchen's food philosophy: " It is a lifestyle cuisine focused on whole ingredients and whole foods...it is very vegetable driven." Chef posits it as a place where you get a robust restaurant experience, have a meal and feel nourished.
If you do want to spoil yourself with lavish eats, I recommend any of the specialty meals at Café Boulud, located inside the Four Seasons Hotel. Crafted by Chef Sylvain Assié and overseen by Chef Daniel Boulud himself, you may have a difficult time returning to your regularly scheduled meal times afterwards.
When a restaurant is owned by a company whose vision and mandate does not address food -- but rather sports and entertainment -- it gives me cause for concern. MLSE: Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, is an archetype of this business model. But of course, a company such as this would (inevitably) expand into food-focused outlets, regardless.
Up until now, Real Sports Bar & Grill and the Toronto Blue Jays shared some uncanny qualities. Both are well known brands and ongoing support for these entities are due to hopes for a positive experience. But instead, we end up with subpar sentiments -- the former with drab & dismally made bar food and the latter with season after disappointing season.
With a busy work week, it sometimes feels impossible to squeeze in enough time to pack a healthy lunch. When a jam-packed schedule leaves you crunched for time, the result is often skipping lunch altogether or opting for a fast, but not-so-healthy meal on the go. With a few simple tricks and some inspiration for nourishing and delicious lunch recipes, healthy eating at work can be a breeze!
There are lots and lots of wonderful alternatives for lunch. But somehow, for me and my children, it always comes back to the sandwich. Call it comfort, tradition, an old stand-by. True, sandwiches can be vessels of hidden sodium and fat. Yet with the right ingredients, they can also be packed with flavour and nutrition!
One Toronto school recently has banned the holy trinity of confections: candy, chocolate and pop. From a child's perspective, it can feel like snack-shaming. It almost seems as though the principal is leading a group of lithe bullies, chastising the embarrassed student for unknowingly smuggling a contraband item.
