JOHNSTOWN — An Indiana County man suspected of burglarizing an office earlier this year has been captured by federal agents in Johnstown.
U.S. marshals from the Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force arrested James Shaffer Jr., of Rochester Mills, on Thursday in the attic of a residence where he was found hiding behind some debris, officials said.
Shaffer, 29, was charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy connected with a break-in at 2:55 a.m. Jan. 19 at Aztec Well Service along Airport Road in White Township.
A suspected accomplice, Natalie Livingston, was arrested in January and charged with the same offenses. At the time, state police obtained a warrant for Shaffer's arrest and asked the public for assistance in locating him.
Officials at the U.S. Marshals Service reported that Shaffer also was wanted on warrants issued in Cambria and Jefferson counties, where he faces theft and related charges.
Deputies from the Cambria County sheriff's office and state parole agents took part in the search and Shaffer's capture, marshals reported.

Evercore Partners (EVR) isn't a widely known name in the investment banking space, but it could be soon. The business is dominated by names like Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), but Evercore is quickly making a name for itself.
With a market capitalization of $1.6 billion, Evercore provides advisory services on mergers, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and other strategic corporate transactions mostly for multinational corporations. Its investment management segment manages financial assets for institutional investors.
A strong stock market, cheap money and solid balance sheets in corporate America are usually the recipe for heightened merger activity, but that hasn't been the case so far this year, according to recent data from Thomson Reuters. In the first quarter, the total number of deals announced worldwide was 8,115, the lowest level since 2003. But in the U.S., the value of deals announced soared 89% from a year ago to $269.8 billion.
In April, Evercore reported strong first-quarter results and announced a quarterly dividend of 22 cents a share. Profit jumped 270% to 37 cents a share while sales grew 45% to $153.4 million. In the first quarter, Evercore was involved in 37 deals worth a combined $45.8 billion.
Even more compelling is future growth prospects. Full-year profit in 2013 is seen rising 16% from 2012 to $2.07 a share. Growth is forecast to accelerate in 2014, rising 26% to $2.61 a share.
Evercore has been consolidating gains since March. It's working on the right side of a possible second-stage base, but it's not showing much in the way of accumulation.
Signs of institutional buying, or above-average volume price gains, would improve its technical health but it's not happening yet.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Do you ever spend time and money getting your nails done to have them chip or smudge minutes after leaving the salon? Sure sometimes it's us; klutzy and leaving too soon - polish still tacky to the touch just begging for disaster other times it's your nail tech cutting corners. Here are some steps to watch whether you are DIY'ing your nails or hovering over your manicurist.
What can screw up your nails
An oil slick- after your buffing and prepping your nail plates you need to remove any excess oil - be it from creams or your own oils as the slickness of the nail will interfere with the adhesion of the polish. Simply wipe with nail polish remover or use a nail brush and scrub with soap and water.
NOTE for the DIYer: Some nail polish removers with conditioners in them will actually leave a film, best to scrub with a nail brush then.
Old polish - this drives me crazy when a nail salon is squeezing the life out of the nail polish. Old polish will bubble and clump on your nails. If you need to add remover to thin it out then you need to toss that nasty ass polish. Like anything old, except maybe Grandma - old things breed bacteria. I also question the cleanliness of a nail artist when she starts dumping in thinner. If you are a pro and love your thinner and disagree don't do this step in front of your client cuz this is what we think.
Tip you off - after the first coat of polish whether DIY or pro the very tip of your nail needs polish otherwise it will start chipping - this photo above is my fresh gelish manicure done in Singapore. *finger wagging* Shame shame nail tech for cutting corners! See that white tip of the free edge? Should have been polished. This sloppy gelish manicure was done at Serenity Cove in Holland Village (Singapore) and I paid an extra $30 for it - my daughter Sage got a gelish too and there were spots missing polish at the cuticle and the nail groove [sides of the nail]
Quick dry - quick dry doesn't necessarily dry below the first coat so don't get all cocky with your mani / pedi but if you have been sitting for 30+ mins, added quick dry and left the salon treating your nails with care and they still smudge - go back to the salon and ask them to fix it as it's their fault. However, if you go home and set up an IKEA bed using your nails as tools and wreck your fresh mani then you are an idiot.
Do fans really work?? I have been told by nail artists that the fans just leave clients with the belief that this will speed the drying process but apparently the actual fact is the lacquers require a certain length of drying time - and fans, cold water and blowing on them are simply myths. Climate does however play a role in drying time. Polish takes longer to dry in humid climates - I personally tested that one out.
In Singapore and need a great nail artist? Yani 8666-8069 - is amazing and she does house calls! Her regular manis have lasted me two weeks!
In Canada - Tips Nail Bar
All nail addicts need to check out Inspirationail and not just to read my interview. *wink*
Are you a nail tech or a DIYer with a great tip? Feel free to share in the comments and link yourself. Sharing is caring.

- - c&c 99 hull survey question (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/97591-c-c-99-hull-survey-question.html)
c&c 99 hull survey question
[This was posted to another less active forum, not Sailnet, so my apologies if you have seen this question before.]
I had a 2002 C&C 99 hauled out for a survey today knowing that in December 2012 a survey found a void on the starboard side just below the waterline about 1 foot by 6 feet long which was repaired (the core was found to be dry so epoxy was injected and the entire hull was re-tapped afterwards and found to be good.)
Today, the new surveyor found two voids about 12x18" each to the aft of each side of the saildrive (just ahead of the lift straps.) This was obviously a surprise because of the prior survey and repair work that was done. The voids today were very obvious so we had the original surveyor come back and he believes they were not there when he did the original survey and re-survey after the repair.
I don't know if the issue is sections of dry laminate (never received resin during the vacuum bagging process) or if the resin-ated core area bonding is failing (which would be worse.)
To get straight to the point, have the seller fix it and go forward or walk away (or run away if that's the appropriate response)?
Thanks, Brian
Re: c&c 99 hull survey question
I would walk unfortunately. You don't want to own a boat that gives you a voice in the back of your head wondering if all of the problems in the hull have been fixed.
Re: c&c 99 hull survey question
Every buyer should research the boat he or she intends to buy. Research Tartan and C&C lawsuits.
Re: c&c 99 hull survey question
I'd walk... if this is a progressive issue, you can fix 'these ones' but others will likely crop up the next time you haul.. how can you know that all the bad spots have been addressed - esp since the currently offending areas 'tapped out OK' last time.
Re: c&c 99 hull survey question
Thanks for the replies. I'm going to walk, there's just too much risk.
The boat in question was produced the same year as the C&C 121 that had so many problems, and while there isn't any hull cracking on this boat, the root cause seems like it could be the same, especially with the appearance of the new and large voids (there was actually a third void identified around the back-stay chain-plate which I forgot to mention earlier,) maybe 'progressive' as Faster mentioned, will eventually mean the whole hull...eek.
Assuming there was a real issue, if there was a fix implemented, does anyone know which hull numbers/years are the problems?
I can't find that information so unfortunately, that probably means I'll avoid all of them.
Re: c&c 99 hull survey question
EVERYBODY that does resin infusion has some amount of less than perfect results and it is NOT like there making thousands and can afford to chuck a marginal hull and there is really no way to fix it
Even on a CNC machine were everything is very controlled a certain amount of stuff hits the reject bin

I am 2 weeks post op and I still can not stand up all the way straight. My belly button discharges and still has this sort of white skin that is not healed yet and my stitches look different sort of crooked. Are my stitches supposed to be in a straight line like I have been seeing some pictures online? Before my surgery I had terrible stretch marks from having my son and a nasty stretched out stomach. I'm happy with my results so far I'm just wondering are my stitches supposed to be straighter?
My Tummy Tuck Procedure Was Done on December 14, 2012. My Belly Button Discharge and Has White Skin Around It? (photo)
Doctor Answers 9
The incision position may improve somewhat with time
Thank you for the question and the photos. Much of incision line symmtery is based on the design of the abdominoplasty. If designed and executed with symmetry it will be even and symmetric from one side to the other. At 2 weeks it may be that there are slightly asymmetric tensions on the closure and the incision line is irregular because of this. If this is the case some improvement can be seen with healing as the tension forces equilibrate.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta
Web reference: http://aaaplasticsurgery.com
Early results after tummy tuck
You definitely need to allow more time for healing before determining the final result. Are you using a scar cream or ointment for the scar to optimize scar outcome? You should talk to your plastic surgeon about what measures you can take to assure the best outcome of your scar and overall contour You should also address your question about the belly button healing with your surgeon. Sometimes this problem is superficial and may respond to topical treatment. Sometimes there is a deeper, more serious issue. Your surgeon should check to see whether this is not a big deal or important - cannot tell by looking at a photograph.
Tummy tuck incision at two weeks
Two weeks following a tummy tuck, it can be normal for the incision to be a little asymmetric from side to side. This can result from one side being slightly tighter than the other. If it does not resolve with time it is often easy for your surgeon to touch this up. The discharge around your belly button is likely the result of some of the belly button incision healing slower than usual. If is becomes red, swollen, tender, has a foul odor or funny looking discharge contact your surgeon immediately to begin antibiotics. Good luck.

2 weeks after Tummy Tuck
The white areas are likely suture reactions that can be helped by removing sutures. I would say that a tummy tuck with a perfectly straight line is a rarity, but your results look good at this early time. See your plastic surgeon about your concerns.
My Belly Button Dischargs and Has White Skin Around It
Congratulations on your decision,and it looks like you have been rewarded with a nice result.
From what I see on the photo, there seem to be two sutures at the skin margin. Their removal will probably be followed by an end to the drainage. Call your surgeon.
Thanks for your question and for the posted photos. All the best.
My Tummy Tuck Procedure Was Done on December 14, 2012. My Belly Button Discharge and Has White Skin Around It?
All the photos look great and your healing appears to be in the normal ranges. Best to have closer follow up with your chosen surgeon.
Healing after tummy tuck looks good so far
The questions you ask are fairly normal. The look of the scars at two weeks is often distorted somewhat by swelling. Your results look pretty good, at this point. The little white areas on the belly button appear normal and should go away without further treatment over time. Ask your surgeon about specific treatment for the belly button area. Often, just washing it out daily with soap and water will spped the healing along.
Give it time and congratulations.
Post tummy tuck.
You are very early in the postoperative period. Things that you note now will be a non issue later on. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Property owners in the City of Lawrence pay property taxes each year. Property taxes include taxes for four government units: Douglas County, the State of Kansas, Unified School District #497, and the City of Lawrence. Each unit of government determines its own tax rate depending on needs.
Property tax rates are based on mills and are assessed through a mill levy. One mill is equivalent to one dollar for every thousand dollars of assessed property value. For 2014, most property owners within the city limits have a mill levy of 124.808 mills.
|City of Lawrence
|Douglas County
|State of Kansas
* The mill levies provided by the 2013 Douglas County Tax Levy Sheet for 2014.
Estimate Property Taxes
To calculate your estimated property tax bill, you need to know the approximate appraised value of your property. The total value of the house is then multiplied by 11.5% for residential property, or 25% for commercial/industrial property, to determine the assessed property value.
Therefore, a house appraised at $100,000 would have an assessed value of $11,500 ($100,000 X 11.5%). The City's portion of the property tax on this house for 2014 would be $339.64 ($11,500/1,000 X 29.534).

85th Ohio FFA State Convention
The 85th Ohio FFA State Convention begins Thursday, May 2, at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus.
State FFA President Shelby Faulkner says it's a big week for FFA members across the state and while they'll feature what's become traditional, Shelby says they'll also provide some new activities.
"We're going to be recognizing our teachers and administrators on stage, which I think is very exciting," Faulkner said. "And then we're also going to have a concert for the first time ever."
The concert features Casey James and Aaron Kelly.
Faulkner will be wrapping up her year as State President on Friday, May 3, she describes her year as "insane."
"I've traveled all across the state of Ohio visiting many chapters and meeting students and as busy as I've been, I have enjoyed every single moment of it," said the State FFA President. "I've had 15 officers that I've been able to watch grow and develop over the year, this is going to be the icing on the cake."
Following her year as State President, Shelby tells Brownfield she's going to take some time to relax and then begin taking classes in June at The Ohio State University where she's majoring in Agriscience Education.

SSI Shredding Systems Inc. (SSI), a Wilsonville, Ore., manufacturer of shredding equipment, has announced a distribution and service agreement with United Kingdom-based Challenger Group.
In a news release announcing the deal, SSI says over the past several years it has installed more than 70 high-torque, low-speed shredding machines in the U.K. The deal with Challenger Group, based in Hull, U.K., will allow SSI to meet the needs of its U.K. customers as well as grow its business, according to SSI. In addition to the Hull location, Challenger has two other locations.
The Challenger Group describes itself as offering comprehensive design, manufacturing, installation and after-sales service for systems in a range of applications throughout many industry sectors in the U.K. and Ireland. The company provides balers, compactors, conveyors, lifts, hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic power units along with equipment to provide services such as drum and IBC (intermediate bulk container) reconditioning.
"With the number of units we have in operation in the area, it makes sense for SSI to have a strong partner there like Challenger Group who can efficiently handle both the sales and service of our equipment," says Joby Easton, sales & marketing director for SSI.
Richard Green, managing director of the Challenger Group, says, "I believe that this agreement is a great strategic fit for both Challenger and SSI as we have been manufacturing support frameworks, conveyors, lifting tippers, ram assist hoppers, etc. that feed material to and from shredders for many years. In addition, we have been providing after-sales service on a number of shredders, including cutter replacements and full re-builds on a number of different makes and models of shredders."

By Cherish Washington, AMC Public AffairsMarch 21, 2013
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- Balancing a budget with a reduction in funds is no small feat, but the U.S. Army Materiel Command and Installation Management Command tackled the issues together during a Rehearsal of Concept Drill, March 19.
"I'm struck by how similar our commands are. We have global commands, provide support to the warfighter and have a very large civilian populace," John B. Nerger, executive deputy to the commanding general at AMC stated. "I think this will help us understand each other better, realizing that we are more alike than we are dissimilar."
Command leadership and staff section representatives from IMCOM and AMC participated virtually via video teleconference to accomplish three goals.
The first goal was to assess the residual issues from the latest Base Realignment and Closure. BRAC was the most recent major impact to AMC personnel.
Second, identify the possible impacts of planned resource reductions, unrelated to sequestration, in five categories of services normally provided to installations by both IMCOM and AMC. The categories include public works, installation logistic, Soldier and family services, training and operations, as well as safety and security.
Third, develop a framework to implement mitigating strategies going forward.
Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter, Installation Management Command commanding general, reflected on the words of an Army spouse, "It's not about fiscal restraints, it's about making the Army stronger."
"We will get through these difficult times," he continued. "Winning is when we get it right, not shifting the cost to someone else."
According to briefings, a reduction in funds could have an immediate impact across all five categories of services at four of the installations with AMC assets, including Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., Detroit Arsenal, Mich., Redstone Arsenal, Ala. and Rock Island Arsenal, Ill.
The impact to Soldiers, civilians and families may appear in the form of a reduction in municipal services, custodial services, facilities operations and maintenance, utility services, housing and barracks management, training area's maintenance and repair and even critical areas like gate access, public safety, law enforcement and force protection.
Programs that have been a mainstay around installations could also be impacted such as school aged services, Army substance abuse programs, and suicide prevention programs.
Col. William Marks, AMC's deputy director, Industrial Base & Infrastructure Planning Directorate, explained how the team took 'deep dives' to understand even the details of shared issues.
"The payoffs were real solutions and ways ahead," Marks said. "We articulated and shared a common understanding between commands and developed a real framework going forward."
"This was the most collaborative and transparent ROC drill I've been a part of in my 10 years with IMCOM," Kenneth A. Pierson, IMCOM G8, stated at the conclusion of the drill.
Lt. Gen. Patricia McQuistion, deputy commanding general of AMC explained the reason for the collaborative nature of the drill.
"We are both very service-oriented commands and we come at problems the same way," McQuistion said. "It is great teamwork and I look forward to our continued partnership."

The Giants organization has over 100 of these guys who watch game film, go to games, and evaluate players and how they fit in our system. I think they're called scouts or something like that. And believe it or not they get paid and have been pretty good in years past.
All of you couch gm's and youtube video scouts need to relax!

Issue 142, Spring 1997
John Simon lives with his wife, Patricia Hoag-Simon, in a New York City high-rise two blocks from Lincoln Center. Our interview took place mainly in his airy living room. Although the furnishings are modern, there is no evidence that modern technology supports Simon's work. He writes at a large desk in the adjoining book-lined den, and he writes in pen. He has not learned how to use a computer, nor does he want to; his wife told me that twentieth-century automation and computerization confuse him: "He didn't know that he could go to various branches of his bank to get money," she recalled. "He thought there was a pile of money in the back of his bank labeled 'John Simon's money.' "
He was dressed for something more than the occasion, wearing a light brown Zegna suit. "He even wears a suit to bed," his wife joked. But his manner was informal, and when he saw I was concerned about whether my tape was picking up our voices from opposite couches, he promptly sat on the floor next to me. I joined him and the entire interview took place on the carpet. The next day, we talked mostly in Simon's study and in a nearby restaurant where we broke for lunch.
Born in Subotica, Yugoslavia, on May 12, 1925, John Ivan Simon spoke three languages by the time he was five. His parents were fluent in German and Hungarian, and the youngster picked up Serbo-Croatian in the streets of Belgrade where they lived. "I was language-conscious and language-intoxicated," he recalled. Later, he learned French and English and "became aware of what great literatures open up if you know these languages."
In 1941 the Simons immigrated to America. Simon went to school in Pennsylvania first, then transferred to Horace Mann in New York. He was a good student, particularly of the arts, and tried his hand at fiction. At Harvard, where he headed the Harvard Radio Workshop, he wrote plays as well as fiction and poetry. He graduated from Harvard in 1946 and completed his doctorate there in 1959. Simon has taught at Harvard, the University of Washington, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bard College and the University of Pittsburgh.
He wrote his first theater criticism for the winter 1959–1960 issue of The Hudson Review. In 1962 he moved to Theater Arts, where he served as drama critic for only eight months due to an internal struggle for ownership of the magazine. There followed the beginning of an ongoing association with The New Leader, first as film critic, today as cultural critic. He also did some reviewing for WNET-TV, but he says educational television found his criticism too strong. He reviewed film and later language for Esquire and since 1978 has been reviewing film for The National Review. He has written on the arts for other periodicals, including The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post Book World, as well as The New Criterion, to which he contributes regularly, and New York magazine.
Simon has published eleven collections of these reviews and one book on Ingmar Bergman. He has been honored with several awards, including the George Polk Memorial Award in film criticism, the George Jean Nathan Award for dramatic criticism, an award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters for literary criticism, and a Fulbright Fellowship that took him to the University of Paris.
When did you write your earliest criticisms?
I guess what you might call criticism is what you do in some of your college papers, although my Horace Mann high-school history teacher said that I was the only student whose papers he could not grade while listening to the radio because my syntax was so fancy.
Do you feel isolated from people in the arts because you're reviewing them?
Well, yes and no. Obviously, there are a good many parties I don't get invited to, there are a good many people who, rightly or wrongly, don't have any use for me. And perhaps life would be more colorful and amusing if one didn't have that many enemies. But on the other hand, the cause is more important than mere fun, and so, rather sadly, I resign myself to being not invited to this or that thing.
When you are invited are you a different kind of person from the one we meet in print?
Of course. How could one not be a different person? Conversation is not the same thing as criticism.
At the conference on criticism Robert Brustein held at Harvard, you said you write in order to educate the public, teaching in a "school without walls."
My greatest obligation is to what, correctly or incorrectly, I perceive as the truth. It is also a genuine satisfaction to express the truth as you feel it should be expressed. It's like scoring high on a test or in a sport. But after that, there also comes a certain hope that one is read by other people. The quantity is not important, but the quality is. If I could imagine that I'm being read by five hundred people in this country whom I really respect—I'm not saying there are only that few, but there are not all that many either—if they or a large segment of them were to read me, that would certainly make writing more satisfying. For example, when someone like the composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich tells me that at one difficult point in their lives she and her husband got a lot out of reading my reviews and going to see the movies that I recommended, which is very satisfying. On the other hand, when people tell me that they're the only ones ever to defend me in various discussions, I always say, Look, if I had a dollar for everyone who has said this to me, I would be, perhaps not rich, but certainly comfortably off.
What do you think of other critics?
Well, that is a problem. Many people who write criticism are not that much different from the people who write me hate mail. There are several so-called critics—reviewers—who really hate my guts. There is one who slams a door in my face if he happens to pass through it ahead of me. But who cares? It's wonderful to be hated by idiots. A German writer whom I love and whom I've translated, Erich Kästner, gives advice in one of his poems to a would-be suicide. He tries to give this man various reasons for not blowing his brains out. The man remains unconvinced, so Kästner says, in essence, all right, the world is full of idiots and they're in control of everything. You fool, stay alive to annoy them! And that, in a sense, is my function in life, and my consolation. If I can't convince these imbeciles of anything, I can at least annoy them, and I think I do a reasonably good job of that.
There are always a few critics around that you feel comfortable with. It doesn't mean that you necessarily agree with them, but they're thinking human beings and you can talk to them. There are not many of those and most of them write for obscure publications. Sometimes, sitting at a film or drama critic's voting meeting, I feel surrounded by creatures from the black lagoon or from twenty thousand leagues beneath the sea. We don't speak the same language. A great Russian film meant nothing to them, whereas a cheap American shoot-'em-up or cowboy movie is a masterpiece. They look at me as if I were some sort of strange comic monster; I look at them and think, What do I have in common with these people? Why am I sitting here? I think press agents would be much nicer to sit with. They know much more about what we're talking about. Perhaps even cabdrivers do.
How do you feel when artists attack you?
Well, actually, that is a little sad, but it's so predictable. It's like that picture of Joseph Papp with his arm around me after I've given him a good review and his asking for the picture back the next month because of a bad review. And I thought, Screw you, I'm keeping it.
It is not important whether I suffer for a bad review or whether the person reviewed suffers for it, because there is something bigger than both of us—the art that is being reviewed. That is what we are all answerable to and that is where the truth must lie and everything else—friendships, feuds, loves—must be forgotten.
I once dated a very beautiful girl who thought Mick Jagger was the greatest thing in the world. So I showed her my review of one of his movies and she never spoke to me again. Whatever might have been, that was the end of it, and I had suspected that that was going to happen. But a critic has to get satisfaction not from being popular or liked or invited to parties, but from having done the bloody best he could, however imperfect it may be. If somebody throws a cocktail in your face at a party because of a bad review, you just have to take it.
Has that happened?
Not often. The most famous case is Sylvia Miles throwing some steak tartare at me, which made her into a heroine. In fact, Andy Warhol said in one of his so-called books that she's famous for that and not much else. This incident was so welcomed by the Simon-hating press that the anecdote has been much retold. She herself has retold it ten thousand times. And this steak tartare has since metamorphosed into every known dish from lasagna to chop suey. It's been so many things that you could feed the starving orphans of India or China with it.
Can you cover what you like in addition to the essentials?
If you're very excited about some small thing you saw, of course, you write about that too. Those things are up to me. But the big ones have to be reviewed. Then, every once in a while, some press agent calls me and says, There's a wonderful new playwright here off off off Broadway. You must review this serious work. But I'm not what Stanley Kauffmann calls a "barricade critic" who is there discovering the avant-garde, the frontline stuff. I see my function as slightly different. I'm there to review the fellow's second play and see to it that his head doesn't get too swelled, and that's a function too. And if his second play is as good as his first, I'll gladly say that as well.
Some say you don't go downtown because you can't appreciate experimental theater.
Well, I don't think there is such a thing as experimental theater. I think there is only theater that has something to say. The cheap way out is to say there's good theater and bad theater, but it's not quite that simple. There's theater that has something necessary to say—it may not even be good, but it has an insight it must express—and there's theater which may be very slick and accomplished but has nothing to say. That's the distinction. It is somewhat similar to good versus bad, but it's not synonymous.
So that's what I try to assess. And if it says it in an experimental way, fine. But what is experimental? Is Peter Sellars taking a boring six-hour opera by Olivier Messiaen and putting two hundred television sets on the stage experimental? Maybe it is, but it's still terrible. The Messiaen music has maybe half an hour of good stuff in it, and five and a half hours of boredom, and the television sets have nothing to say, and Peter Sellars has nothing to say. If that's experimental, I don't need it. But if somebody trying to write a new opera or play or movie says something in a different, difficult, subtle, roundabout, never before seen or heard way, fine. I'm all for it and I don't care if it's downtown or uptown or out of town, though my publications have not, on the whole, encouraged out-of-town reviewing.
In a review of Kenneth Tynan's book Curtains, you wrote that the ideal critic is likable and modest. You've also said that a critic must be arrogant. Can you reconcile the two?
Did I really say that? Well, there is a way of being arrogant in a charming way, which is more likable than charmless modesty. People who can't see that you have to ignore, charmingly.
Some who read your reviews of gay plays say you're homophobic. What do you think?
I don't like uniforms. I don't like people abdicating their identity to become part of some group and then becoming obsessed with this and making capital of it. I mean, somebody like Elie Wiesel, for example, who appropriates the Holocaust and makes a cottage industry out of it. I find that distasteful. I don't care what it is, an Irishman who goes around spouting Yeats and Synge while waving his shillelagh, a professional Frenchman who puts on Gallic smoothness—the c'est magnifique, the bedroom eyes, or whatever. Anything that is a uniform rather than an individuality I find reprehensible. As it happens, the most glaringly evident uniform in our theater at this moment is the homosexual one. I find it preposterous that these people actually think themselves more important than the rest of the world. "My cancer can beat up your cancer anytime." That's absurd.
The only true art is that which speaks to everyone without any parochialism. It can be very minor art. It doesn't have to be a grand topic treated in an epic way. It can be something very intimate, very small-scale, but it has to be ecumenical. It has to be for everybody. Blacks who go around saying, This is black theater and if you're not black you can't judge it, you have no right to criticize it, are talking nonsense. If it's any good, it can be as black as it wants to be and I can feel it and understand it. And if it's lousy, it's lousy no matter what color it is. And, again, some blacks carry on as if they were all geniuses deserving preferential treatment. They want to play parts that they're not suited for and they want privileges that they haven't earned. That's nonsense; but if they're talented and if they can do something, by all means let them. And I'll be the first to applaud them.
You are getting into the issue of nontraditional casting here, and I know you have strong views. What do you say then about Orson Welles playing Othello? Or males playing female parts?
I do not want a black to play Romeo if a white is playing Juliet. It upsets the true meaning of the play and sets up wholly alien reverberations. Nontraditional casting can be mere bleeding-heart liberalism, which is the source of political correctness and is one of today's chief horrors. The arrogance of a black actor who says, I'm going to play Henry V and I'll be as black as I am and I'll sound as much like Harlem as I wish and you will love me and write rave reviews, I do not condone. And I'm almost the only critic who dares stand his ground in this matter. Good God, I'm not for keeping anyone deprived or downtrodden. A fine actor can portray a person of any color. But when, say, Olivier played Othello, he very carefully strove to look, sound, and move right, which involved a good deal of study and a couple of hours of making up for each performance. Similarly, a black actor who makes the necessary concessions and effort to play a white part can do excellent work. But it requires accommodation to the play and the role. Nontraditional casting is OK, color-blind casting is often confusing and misleading. In Lear, if the good Edgar is white and the wicked Edmund is black—or vice versa—it's very hard for the audience not to perceive it as a statement on race. But makeup can make the difference. Gender-bending, however, is never advisable; it is pointless and stupid.
I think when someone like August Wilson comes along and writes good plays and gives black actors a chance to show their stuff, it's a wonderful thing. And if a black actor is willing to make up white, which none of them seems to be anymore, by all means let him or her play whatever he or she wants to play. But if an actor is going to come on with his dreadlocks and say, I am the Great Gatsby, and the whole liberal press cheers him on, that still won't make any sense.
Is there a dramatic character with whom you identify?
I don't really think so, but if I must dredge one up, I think it is Alceste in The Misanthrope. He is usually thought to be sneered at by Molière, but if you read that play carefully, you can see that Molière is having fun with Alceste for being too much of a purist, too much of a perfectionist, but at the same time it is clear that he prefers him to most of the men and women around him. He pokes fun at Alceste, but he is more for him than for the others. The critic should try to know better than the rest, but he should never forget to laugh at himself when he goes off the deep end. A sense of humor about oneself is one of the three or four best critical tools.
Have you been edited for content?
It has happened over the years that I wrote something too controversial—offensive to some group or other. I wrote a review of Stop the World I Want to Get Off with Sammy Davis Jr., a revival, in which I had a funny opening paragraph that was scurrilous about Sammy Davis. If I say so myself, it was rather funny. The editors of New York passed it around to one another and all of them fell over in their chairs laughing, after which they said, We can't print that. When I almost resigned over the fact that they didn't print it, they allowed me, two issues later, to print one sentence that I particularly wanted restored. However, when you print such a sentence two weeks later out of context, it no longer has much impact.
Have you been censored since?
In The New Leader I once wrote that Barbra Streisand is the sort of thing that starts pogroms. This was not considered acceptable to the editor and never saw print. A more recent excision has been a reference to Phylicia Rashad in Jelly's Last Jam looking like a bouncer in a lesbian bar. It is characteristic that the censorship always comes when you attack a member of a minority or putative minority. And if the person happens to belong to two minorities simultaneously, the attack is tantamount to the sin against the Holy Ghost. That is what political correctness and cowardice (assuming that they are two separate things) have reduced us to.
Do you work hard on the opening lines of your reviews?
No. Opening lines have to pop into your head. Opening lines that you have to sweat and toil over are not going to be worth the sweat. But they do pop. I once went out with a girl many years ago, very sweet, who said, I could write your reviews. The only thing I don't know is how you think of those opening lines. If I could figure that out, I could do it.
Which of your opening quips comes first to mind?
I try to forget my bright sayings because they're the surest way to bore people at parties. I wouldn't be happy if a poet at a dinner party started reciting his latest poem even if it was good. Of course, sometimes, you can't forget them.
Which is one you can't forget?
An English comedian, Norman Wisdom, came to Broadway in a play and I wrote, "If this be Norman Wisdom, give me Saxon folly." You see, I am as good as my word. You are asking me to remember and I can't.
What do you use to write?
I write in longhand. I love pens, particularly fountain pens. I have many of them, and I'm very fond of most of them. I like the way something handwritten looks on the page. There's a sensuous pleasure in writing something with a pen, much less so with a pencil, by the way. I find it very easy to correct something on a page. I'm a two-fingered typist, and as I type, I make changes. Not huge ones. Then, after the piece is typed, I look at it, make a few more small changes, and that's it. I tried to use a computer that we have and it just alienated me immediately—I can't even bring myself to learn how to use it.
How would you describe your state of mind when the curtain is about to go up?
One goes hoping that the theater is still alive and that this will be a good show. Nine times out of ten, one goes home with one's tail between one's legs, beaten again, and the only compensation is to sit down and write a vitriolic review. That's the only satisfaction left one.
Yes. The pleasure ought to be in seeing a play, not in knocking it down. There are pleasant surprises, however. Otherwise one really would have to quit. But they come few and far between. In all fairness, one must say that even if the play isn't very good, there could be compensations—wonderful performers, beautiful theatrical effects, and one has to learn to make do with that. I suppose there are restaurants to which one goes for the appetizers.
Have you walked out on a play?
Yes. Only the daily critics condemned by their editors to sit through a horror are not able to leave, but anyone remotely free should be able to leave after the first act. If a play is perfectly ghastly for one act, it's not going to be wonderful in the second. When I was a Young Turk, I sometimes left after five or ten minutes when something seemed absolutely revolting. There is an incident where I was leaving the theater when a late-coming critic was just arriving and said, You're going in the wrong direction. I replied, No, you are going in the wrong direction.
How does your mind work during the course of a play?
This is the crux of the matter. My first reaction is like anyone else's, a jumble of thoughts and feelings, positive or negative, but the precise diagnosis is deferred until the writing of the review. Then I empty out the contents of my mind and heart, and proceed to sort out what in that heap in front of me is most pertinent. As I sift and organize, some new insights crop up and act as cement for the mix, making the final formulation clearer, shapelier, more effective. It is the translation of impressions into expression, the making of what is merely remembered memorable.
Have you ever been a lone voice?
Yes, indeed. Often.
That hasn't changed your mind at all?
No, not at all.
Confidence is a huge factor.
It is. One of the problems with a lot of reviews is a lack of self-confidence on the part of the reviewer. You can read between the lines and see this man or woman didn't really like the work very much and yet it's a favorable review. That can be because the editors or publishers push for that kind of thing but, more often than not, it's because the critic wasn't sure what to think and assumes that liking is safer than disliking. You can be shown up as being just as big an idiot for having liked or disliked something if the verdict of time goes against you. There is no safety in this job. In the end, you will be judged on how this play has lasted for a quarter of a century, a century, and beyond.
What's the most difficult type of theater to judge?
If you're a real professional, nothing should be difficult. The only problem can be if a Japanese or a Bulgarian company comes and you're not so sure about what the language of that play is really like. Then, unless you can get hold of the translated text, you have to use your intuition. If I knew better than the playwright, I would be writing plays and he or she would be reviewing them. I am willing to assume with a modicum of modesty that when it comes to playwriting, the playwright knows more than I do and therefore I can state objections and explain them, but cannot rewrite the play. But rules exist essentially to be broken, and whereas journeymen playwrights probably have to play by them, geniuses can and should flout them.
Do you alter your style at all for different magazines?
I consider it lucky that I have a certain flexibility. I can go from a piece I will write, say, for The New Criterion or The American Scholar to a piece I will write for New York or some other publication with a large circulation. Some of it is a little more egghead and some of it is a bit more chatty, but it is not a fundamental break. I would compare it to a trained singer who can go from opera to show tunes or a public speaker who can bring his message to different audiences. Whether there are a few more Latin quotations or a few more references to Proust doesn't matter. It all bears the stamp of my individuality; is not less well thought out or less well written; does not pull punches.
There are nasty rumors that you've mellowed. Have you?
Honestly, I don't know. When you live with your face and see it every day and you've grown twenty years older, you don't fully notice the change because it's gradual. Someone else who has not seen you for several years can tell the difference. Mellowing is the kind of thing that only other people can judge. I don't think, though, that I've changed in that way.
I think I've changed in other ways. I have learned to say equally devastating things in a more ironic, more controlled, more polished, more understated way, so it doesn't hit the less attentive or less imaginative reader in the face quite so much and that may look like mellowing. But it's only gaining greater control over your craft. But perhaps that is a sort of mellowing.
Actually, a Belgian-American director, André Ernotte, said something about me that my wife particularly cherishes. He said, You know, you always take a shower before you go to the theater. And in a stupid, literal-minded way, I asked myself, What does he mean? Of course I don't try to smell up the theater with my body odor. But then I realized that what he meant is that I'd given him a good review after giving him several bad ones, and that many critics, once they get in the habit of giving somebody bad reviews, automatically pan him. Or, mutatis mutandis, automatically praise. One must never close one's mind one hundred percent and one should always give the next thing the benefit of the doubt, whatever that next thing is, even if its author was lousy ten or twenty times. You never know when lightning will strike.
Does knowing an actor or playwright or composer personally interfere with your ability to write about him as you do about others?
There are ways of safeguarding against that. I have never become very friendly with an artist unless I have respect for him or her as such and that means, as far as I am concerned, that the artist is talented. And if the artist is talented, he or she is not going to produce junk. The artists I befriend—and they are not many—may come up with better things and less good ones, but even their bad things will probably not be shameful. Therefore it's safe to be friends with such a person, especially if that person is intelligent and self-assured enough to be able to take criticism.
I've lost some friends—mostly among actors and maybe a director or two—though no writers I can think of. But if you lose them, it can't be helped. It doesn't mean that they're not very talented people and that, even if they hate and attack you, if they next do what you consider good you won't say so. But it does mean they're not strong enough, not solid enough human beings to be able to take criticism. In that case, you may need their works, but you don't need their company, their friendship.
The artists I have befriended have almost all of them been able to take criticism. What I do if I know them is two things: I bend over backward to be tougher on them, because I realize my friendship might color my reviews. But I'm also a little more careful about how I say it. I try to be still amusing, still readable, still gutsy, but I do try not to be too witty at their expense. So that balances out the extra toughness.
There is a famous English actor, Alan Howard. His wife, or companion, is the writer Sally Beauman, who was a good friend of mine. Alan hates critics, but he liked me, partly because Sally liked me and partly because he discovered that I was a human being and cared about theater as much as he did. Then he came to this country in a play called Good, which was anything but that. And to describe what he did in it, I said that at one point he assumed the stance of a man chasing after a runaway goose, which as criticisms or witticisms go is fairly mild. But for Alan Howard, that was the death. Sally called up in a mournful voice and said that we would no longer be able to see each other or communicate. One day, I ran into them on a street corner with their child. I recall exactly where it was and the oblique angle of the sun. It was close to Christmas; he said, Happy Christmas, and those were the last words he ever uttered to me. I'm sorry. I liked him and I was very, very fond of her. I think she had a publisher send me one of her books once. That's all she could do after all those years of friendship.
Or take the case of Maximilian Schell. As an actor, he is almost always good, but as a director he has his ups and downs. When I give him a good review, we are friends; when I give him a bad review, he doesn't know who I am. That comes with the territory.
Do you ever regret writing something extremely nasty?
Sure, sometimes. And sometimes I regret reviews that weren't tough enough. It can go either way. Usually, it's not so much that I was too hard on someone, but that I didn't think of the most effective way to say it. I'm writing for everybody who wants it, but I'm writing, first of all, for myself. I have to feel satisfied that I've met the challenge of this piece of work, whatever it is. That means that one is writing for the hardest judge of all. And if you can pass that test, you'll do all right by everyone else. After that, you also write for your readers, for the artists or nonartists or antiartists. You write both for the present and for posterity, if it will have you.
You talked about writing for the future. What will people see in your reviews a hundred years from now, particularly when you're describing an ephemeral art like theater and they can't go back to the work?
It depends. A really good critical essay does conjure up an image. In some ways it's less than a photograph, in other ways it's much more. If you read it fifty years later, you will say, Well, I don't know whether I would have seen it that way, but I can see someone seeing it that way and it does conjure up something before my mind's eye. A gutsy, passionate, individualistic, flawed but very human, very from-the-gut review, will always stand up in some way. It will be a truth and a truth is always better than no truth.
How would you assess your role in the drama criticism of the day?
I see drama criticism as being either academic, in books and learned journals, which doesn't concern us here, or popular, in newspapers and magazines, which does. Now, popular criticism in this country is written mostly by fans, hacks, or lackeys. The fans love everything they see and are worthless. The hacks have scant education and knowledge, but can turn out fluent journalistic prose—only neither their style nor their opinions command the readers' attention. The lackeys serve the interest of their publishers who want more theatrical advertising, which comes from generally favorable reviews and greater readership, which comes with a sense of well-being in the theater. Or so they think. My function is not to be any of those three things.
How have you managed to sell this position to a popular magazine?
What made it possible is, I think, that I amuse some readers and get others worked up. Laughter and indignation seem to be marketable.
How well do you think you have succeeded?
That is for others—for time itself—to tell.

Ruling out any significant impact on India's crude oil supply, the government has said it will import oil from Iran to offset any supply disruptions arising from imminent strikes by the US on Syria.
With reports of imminent strikes on Syria, prices of oil in the global markets have hit new highs, a move that is putting further pressure on India's economy, which is already battling a high current account deficit (CAD).CAD is the difference between dollar inflows and outflows and since India imports 80% of its oil requirements, crude is a major determining factor for CAD.
In case of imports from Iran, the payment is done in the Indian rupee.
"We have provisions to import oil from Iran as currently we are importing much less than we actually can do from there," Arvind Mayaram, economic affairs secretary told HT. "So even if there are problems in Syria, we are not going to be impacted in any significant way."
India could import up to 11 million tonnes oil from Iran in 2013-14.
The government has already said that there would be no major impact on the CAD situation due to the emerging political tension in Syria and India was ready to fully finance it.
Until 2010-11, Iran was India's second-largest supplier after Saudi Arabia but has since slipped to the sixth place.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has sought a $25-billion cut in the oil import bill to narrow CAD.

Lock Haven Express (Newspaper) - September 25, 1890, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania NINTH YEA1I-UO. 177 LOCK HAVEN, PA., THUKSDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1800. P11ICE-TWO CENTS EVENING EXPRESS CURRENT COMMENT. Ah Biamark's annual income is $175,000, no wise man cau understand why bo cannot bo contented. Banking firms roport a soaroity of 61 bills. With tho average citizeo, however, there is a much greater scarcity ;>f $100 bills. At last fashion has some method in its madness, and utility has a show. Sparrows are to be one of the adornments of winter hats. Now, truly, the sparrow will go, and for once Fashion will receive a National blsssing. British iron and steel experts acknowledge that the United States now holds the place of Great Britiaa as the first iron and ste'el producing nation in the world. The triumphs of protection in this respect have been so magnificent that they cau no longer bo denied, even by the foreign free traders whe are protection's hitter opponents. _ To enable you t j vote on Tuesday, November 4, 1690, it is required that you shall have paid within two years of that date a State or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least two mouths and paid at least one month before the election. If you have not paid such tax Bince November 4, 188S, then you should do so before October 4, 1890. Clifton R. Breckinridge baa begun his campaign for ."vindication" in the Second District of Arkansas. He has taken the stump iu his own behalf, and proposes to make a vigorous oanvass against Isham P. Langly, the Union Labor candidate for Congress in the district. Roger Q. Mills and other noted Democratic speakers have been detailed to help him. The latest story concerning Jessie Fremont is the worst yet. It will sadden the hearts of the American people to hear that this noble woman is absolutely in destitution and also ill. It is to bo hoped this pathetic appeal to tho sympathies of the nation will Btrike a responsive chord in Congress without another day's delay. A pension for the widow of the Pathfinder of the Rockies certainly could be passed in both houses within a few hours, and this ought to be done. The Executive Committee of the Grant Monument Association in New York, appear to be well satisfied with the design that has been accepted. The next thing is to raise the money for the structure. It will oost over $500,000, and the sum of the contributions now in baud is about $140,000. At least $260,030 will have to be raised, and a beginning is to be made by a fair in Madison Square Garden. Then the hat will have to be passed around everywhere, and contribution boxes will be placed iu hundreds of public places. In this beggarly fashion the great Empire City proposes to get the cash for its monument to a grand patriot who has been dead over five years. Considering tho promises mads by New York and the enormous wealth of hundreds of its citizens, the required sum ought to bo ob_ tained iu a single day. Democratlv Senatorial Conference* The Democratic Conferees who met at Tyrone yesterday organized by electing W. H. Brown, PreRident of tho Conference. Thirty ballots were taken before adjournment. Tho Conferanco adjourned to meet this forenoon at & o'clock. The candidates to be balloted for are T. C. Ripple, Esq , of Clinton, P. Gray Meek, of Centre and Mitt Savage, of Clearfield. Each of thecandidatas received three votes on each ballot. Clearfield having had the Senatorial to#s for tbe past two terms it lookB to a fellow up a tree as if Matt Savage was only in the field to gain a little political prestige, for it is not likely that be will stick for a nomination.

Harrisburg, Sept. 24.-The Prohibition State Convention met bore this afternoon and nominated John D. Gill, oi Westmoreland, for Governor, to take the place of Charles Miller, of Venango, who declined. Thirty-one mo rubers of the committee were present. A committee consisting of A. Q. C. Ricketts, A. A. Stevens, John D. Gill, W. W. Hague and H. T. Ames were appointed to prepare rules for governing the party. The committee will report at the next State convention. Tho National Committee plan for securing finances by the annual payment plan was adopted, as was also the suggestion that an organizer be placed in each county to securo money and canvass for votes. Chairman Patten reported the campaign as progressing very favorably. Mr. Gill, who was present and accepted the nomination for Governor, is a resident of Grcensburg, and a prominent member of the Westmoreland bar. He has been a prohibitionist since 1884. when he cast his vote for St. John for President. Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-Iu pursuance of a call issued by Theodore P. Ityn-dor, Chairman of the Executive Com-mitte, the Union Labor party met here today and placed the following ticket in nomination: Governor, Theodore P. Rynder, Centre county; Lieutenant Governor, Juetus Wat kins, Tioga county; Secretary of Internal Affairs, Henry K. Feller, Blair county. A new Exe cutive Committee was named and a platform was adopted setting forth tho principles of the Union Labor party. Among other things they demand that the Government issue money direct to the people to an amount not less than sixty dollars per capita; the free coinage of silver and issuance of fractional paper currency; free school books; Australian ballot system; absolute repeal of the conspiracy laws; denounces the Pinkeitons; demands agraduato income tax; that the President; Vice President, United States Senators and postmasters bo elected by the peoples suffrage irrespective of sex; passage of the Pennsylvania Service Pension bill and the immediate culling of a Constitutional Convention. The meeting was not altogether harmonious, as it was found necessary to look the doors against eight gentlemen who claimed to be entitled to admission as members of the Executive Committee. These men, who claimed to be a majority of the members of the committee, afterwards passed resolutions denouncing the arbitrary action of Rynder and his associates. The resolutions also say that the issue this Fall is clearly defined between the two great parties, and that it would be unwise to place a Union Labor ticket in tho field, and therefore tho fight of tho Independent Republicans agaiuU boasism is endorsed. A Blood Sweating Hippopotamus. Among the many specially interesting and rare specimens oT zoology to be seen with Ringling Bros.

Mrs. -.*it that Each Winds- Up With lr�rlo<]h of Calamities. �' Krom the New Yorfc Times. History teaches that the cloning years of each o' tho by-gono conturieg havo been rendered memorable by a more than usual amount of sorrows, troubles and ills to which mankiud is heir. Alarmed lest the century should pass away without the human race receiving it* full quota of suffering, the powers of nature appear to have crowded iuto its concluding years all tho unspent hoard of pestilence, famine, war and catastrophe's of every kind. Nor does the dual decade of the nineteenth.century seem dostiucd to prove any exception to the rule. It has opened in a mariner that cannot be regarded as other than ominous. Cholera has once deserted the oriental headquarters and invaded .Europe from several poluiB. bearing death and desolation in its train. Famine is again casting its blighting shadow over tho sorely stricken inhabitants of the Emerald Isle. In Italy the misery is so appal ing that starvation is depopulating entire districts, and from every quarter of the globe domes tales of ruined crops, destroyed herds and devastated homes. While no one country or district can be said to hare escaped, it would appear as if the forces of nature had concentrated their principal efforts for evil upon the central portion of Europe. Germany, Switzerland,'a part of France, and in partionlar Austria, are at present the particular suffers. The phylloxera has for the first time on record secured a foothold in tbe vineyards of the Champagne and of the Rhine, and threatens completely to destroy these productive industries; and while in one portion of Austria the droagh t is so intense that tbe cattle and horses are dying by the thousand-forVantof fodder, tho remainder of the empire, aa well as Sofltbeora Germany and Switzerland, Is suffering from terrible inundations^ So appalling have the latter become tbat'a special department of the government has been organized in all baste at Vienna for the purpose of dealing with the danger. The principal rivarsbavebnrst their banks, in a number .of places Sodding 'the surrounding districts, arresting railroad communication and mining' the crops. The Lake of ConttArice has risen to the highest level known for more than one; hundred years, and many of tbe other inland seas have followed suit, rendering a suspension of navigation imperative. And what in the eyes of the superstitious is'vorae than all, tbe Carlsbruecke at Prague, which for five hundred years has withstood the onslaughts of the Moldau, has just crumbled away into the river, carrying with it the famous and venerated statue of St. John ofNopomuk, the patron Baint of the ancient city of Prague and of the Bohemian nation. Without attaching undue importance to the loars and terrors of the Bohemians, who regard as the worst of omens the disappearance of the statue of St. John -a statue which was visited every year by thousands of pious pilgrims-it must be admitted that many Europeans have every reason to view the approach of the coming winter with fear and apprehension. Deaths Dolnga. Miss Mary Murdoak, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Murdock, died last night at 0 o'clock at the residence of her parents, No. 131 Washington street. Her age was 15 years and the cause of death inflammation of the bowels. The funeral services will bo conducted in the' Great Island Presbyterian Church, at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The deceased was an attentive' scholar of the Presbyterian Sunday school, being a member of Airs. S. Z. Martin's otass, and also a member of the Young People's Missionary Society of the same church. "Mamie" was a most estimable, young girl, and in her short life taught lessons which older persons wonld do well to learn. Her departure will be sincerely regretted by her many young friends, and we cannot measure the depth of sorrow her death haB caused in the home circle. Married To-ilay. Charles H. Pott, postmaster at Jersey Shore, and Miss Marten Meekley, daughter of the lato Dr. Mookley, were married at Jersey Shore this forenoon. The ceremony was perlormed in the Presbyterian church at 10 o'clock and the wedding was a brilliant affair.

West Coast coach John Worsfold says he is glad he is not playing in the AFL today after Joel Selwood's reprimand for pushing brother Adam on Friday night.
The Geelong captain was running down the wing in his team's loss to West Coast when older brother Adam collided with him at full tilt in an incident which saw them both on the ground momentarily.
However, Joel got to his feet first and pushed over Adam, who was on all fours recovering from the bump.
The Match Review Panel handed down a reprimand for misconduct, feeling Joel had 'made unnecessary or unreasonable contact with an injured player'.
The reprimand cost Selwood 80 demerit points and leaves him on 84 carryover points for the rest of the season.
"I'm glad I'm not playing now, because it wouldn't be any fun watching from the stands," Worsfold said when asked if the AFL was taking the fun out of the game.
"I always believed that when I played the game, a lot of my bumps were fair. But the way the game is these days, I'd be in strife in that regard."
The reprimand follows the AFL's crackdown on head high contact and protection of injured players.
Worsfold said he was comfortable with the AFL's position and need to protect the players.
"The game's in pretty good shape, and everyone's aware that we're protecting the head of the players," he said.
"That's made it a very fine line about whether players face sanctions from the Match Review Panel with any bump now that may look like it was the only option a player had available but you've got to take responsibility."
Worsfold said the match review panel had made the correct decision.
"We can all see the fun in it," he said.
"His (younger) brother pushed him over and says 'you did your best to knock me over and I'm jogging off and you're still on the ground'.
"But in the letter of the law, the Match Review Panel has a responsibility to look after injured players, and that's the way they saw it."
Joel will remain eligible to win the Brownlow medal despite the incident.

Mayor To BCHS: You're On Your Own
Speaking on his weekly radio show last week, Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the 19 schools the city was blocked from closing, which include Beach Channel High School, that they are on their own despite a United Federation of Teachers plea to plow some extra resources into those schools.
"If there are only 20 students [in the school] most of the teachers and the staff are not going to be there in September," Bloomberg said in response to a caller's question.
He could have been speaking about Beach Channel High School, which currently has only 50 students registered in the ninth grade for September, according to a spokesperson for the DOE, who added that no statistics are yet available for the new school in the building – The Rockaway Park High School for Environmental Sustainability.
The union had pushed for extra assistance, especially for special education and English Language Learners, but Bloomberg expressly turned the UFT down.
Bloomberg says that whatever services the school can provide will have to come from its regular budget, which is calculated mostly on the number of students registered at the school.
"If there are issues about funding at a particular school, we will work with that school to find a solution," said Department of Education spokesperson Jack Zarin-Rosenfeld.
Bloomberg and the DOE planned to close Beach Channel High School and 18 other schools, but were stopped by a recent court order that ruled the DOE did not follow the rules and could not close the schools until the process was completed in a legal manner – something that would take at least another year.
The teacher's union joined the NAACP in the suit that brought about the court's decision, and union president Michael Mulgrew said that Bloomberg's statement "shows his lack of support for the schools."
Mulgrew told reporters, "If [the DOE] can't implement their education plans within the budgets, then who knows where we're going to go. I have been known to go to court."
Seven of the schools, including BCHS, will have to share its building with the new Environmental Sustainability school.
While the DOE declined to provide the number of students registered for that school, local sources told The Wave that it had aproximately 100 students registered for September, a normal number for a start-up school, which will begin with only a ninth grade and will then pick up another grade each year until it reaches the normal grade 9 to grade 12 organization.
Local union officials had been fighting the insertion of a new school into the building, arguing that, under the recent court ruling it was illegal to site a new school at BCHS.
Under a recent agreement between the DOE and UFT, however, the new school will be allowed to start in September.

Seeking information on recent serious bike accident
Original post made by Eric S., Midtown, on Jul 25, 2013
Trying to track down information on a recent cycling accident in Palo Alto in which a woman was very seriously injured. If you are aware of an incident that fits that description, would appreciate learning any details. Thanks.

Any kind of serious injury in a traffic collision should be in the police log (or CHP log). Are you sure the incident occurred within Palo Alto or was the victim from Palo Alto, but hit in a different city?

There have been three women seriously injured in bike accidents in PA in the last ten months! Check the Weekly's archives, or the Daily Post Rchives.
