The film, which follows a caravan of gypsy troupes on a concert tour and interweaves dazzling music footage with individual stories and circumstances, features Fanfare Ciocarlia, a band that brought down the tent at the Cambridge Folk Festival this summer, alongside fellow Romanians Taraf de Haïdouks; Rajasthan song-and-dance performers Maharaja; and the Antonio El Pipa Flamenco Company from Spain. Outpowering them all is the statuesque Macedonian singer Esma Redzepova, who has a voice that could halt traffic and is more popular in the Balkans than Shirley Bassey in Tiger Bay.
Adding a little rock 'n' roll, Johnny Depp also puts in an appearance, having got to know Taraf de Haïdouks while filming The Man Who Cried (Sally Potter's 2000 film about a refugee travelling from Russia to America who falls for a gypsy horseman). "Johnny is the one who basically puts into words the goal of the film," says Dellal, "which is to make people see that what you believed about gypsies your whole life is not true."
The Roma - the term "gypsy", once distinctly pejorative, has recently been re-embraced - started their migrations from India around a thousand years ago. They were one of the most victimised groups of the 20th century: a million or more died in the Holocaust, and persecution persists today in many parts of the world, notably the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania. And not just there, either: the demonised gypsy is the stuff of popular legend. Remember the clapping song that went "My mother said I never should/Play with the gypsies in the wood", with all kinds of dire consequences - like your hair never curling - if you did?
But, says Dellal, even the idea of a nomadic existence is part-myth. "The truth is that gypsies were forced to start moving in their origins; then there were laws against them settling in most places, so it was an identity imposed from the outside to say that gypsies are travellers. A large majority of gypsies today are sedentary and have been for at least a century."
Dellal, who turns 40 tomorrow, was introduced to contemporary Roma culture when she made a documentary for US public television called American Gypsy about a family living in Spokane, near Seattle, and began to realise the degree of official suspicion and hostility. "It turns out that there are handouts passed around different police departments to label typical 'gypsy crimes'," she says. "They have lists of typical gypsy names, ways to recognise and outfox gypsy criminals. They actually have these things published and circulated."
The sister of film director Gaby (One Fine Day) and daughter of colourful property tycoon "Black Jack" Dellal, Jasmine, who studied journalism at Berkeley after Oxford, still has an impeccably English accent despite 11 years in the US, but found a reluctance there to believe that there was such a thing as Roma culture. "Most Americans don't have any idea what the word 'gypsy' means," she says. "When I told people I was making a film about gypsies, they'd say: 'Oh, my college roommate is a gypsy: he used to follow the Grateful Dead.'"
To make When the Road Bends, the director did a fair bit of following herself: the film records a gruelling, 16-city tour of North America in 2001, followed by two years of catching up with the bands on their home turf, shooting in places far from the comfort of hotels and catering trucks. "Being in the middle of the desert in Rajasthan is very beautiful and peaceful," says Dellal, who spent summers in India as a child with her Indian grandmother, "but it's not very good for charging batteries. I had to get over to the wine merchant's house and beg them to let me plug in. And it was an hour-and-half 's bus ride to the nearest place with a telephone. But it was never any difficulty living with the families: they couldn't have been more welcoming."
Dellal does admit, however, that the initial days on the tour bus with the predominantly male band members were not without problems. "The first phrase I learned in Romany was 'Don't be an octopus!' But once that was made clear - and it didn't take more than a couple of days - it was absolutely fine: I became a sister." The Indians were useful, too. "Whenever any arguments were brewing, you'd suddenly find an Indian plonked in the middle doing something so funny that everybody had to laugh!"
Dellal had never made a music documentary before, and couldn't answer when a friend asked her what her favourite concert films were. "I realised that I hadn't actually seen many that I liked, so I went and watched another 20 or 30 and realised that I still hadn't seen many I liked. They tended to assume the music is great and you're a fan, so put it all on the big screen and you'll love it. I really didn't want to do that."
It was probably a wise decision: although their albums sell in impressive numbers, the bands featured in the film are best heard live. Indeed, Fanfare Ciocarlia has to be one of the best live bands in the world, judging by their performance this summer in the gorgeous Romanian town of Sibiu.
Later, after a screening of the film in Cluj, the capital of Transylvania, which has a large and sometimes persecuted Roma population, a woman stood up and began to talk hesitantly about her Roma heritage in a way that made it clear this was the first time she had talked about these things in public. Screenings are now being arranged for a number of groups - including a Roma woman's group - in Romania.
Dellal decided early on that, if she was going to capture what was important about gypsy music, she couldn't just record concerts. "I told everybody I wanted close-up shots of faces when we were doing the concert footage because it was about people," she says. "I wanted this film very much to allow the music to play out and not put MTV images all over it or cut it up into tiny pieces. But, at the same time, I felt that the film had to give a lot more, which is why I felt it was really important to get to know the people and go to the different countries so that, by the end, even if you didn't want to learn anything, you'd learned something you never expected to."
She was helped enormously in all of this by having one of the great documentary-makers, Albert Maysles (Gimme Shelter, Grey Gardens), then 75, as her main cameraman. She'd met him some five years ago at a film festival and told him about her plans. "And he said, 'I'm shooting it for you!'. I said, 'Al, that's great, but I'm guessing that my budget will be nowhere near your rate.' And he said, 'That's got nothing to do with anything, I definitely want to do this film.' And he meant it. He's so full of beans, it's ridiculous. We were going on this test shoot to Europe and I said, 'Do I have to buy you a business-class ticket?' And he said, 'Don't be ridiculous, get the cheapest ticket you can find on the internet: this is an independent documentary.'"
It was, however, the other cameraman, Alain de Halleux, who shot the film's most moving scene: the funeral of Taraf 's 78-year-old violin genius, Nicolae Neacsu, who died just after the tour in 2002. It's an emotional affair, with musicians playing outside the house where Neacsu is lying, and Roma families calling in droves to pay respects. In the final shots, the dawn is coming up and I tell Dellal I am impressed by the fact that the musicians seem to have played all night. "Actually," she says, "they played for three nights."

This mod is NOT for people who look for total realism.
This mod is the one I've been working on for quite some time.
We all know that V driving physics are boring. They tend to be too easy, car suspension being too hard or that damage is terrible and we all know that there has to be a balance between realism and fun, right?
Well, this mod does just that. I've spent around 160 hours on making this. For me personally total simulation in arcade game such as GTA is a no go. So everyone who likes something in between, this mod is for them. I've tried to make this one as believable as possible.
Basically what it does is make car physics mix between IV and V. The suspension in cars is not too hard and not too soft, it's between V and IV. Vehicles don't have high understeer like some other mods have, or too high turning radius at high speeds. Here if you will be driving at high speed your car can drift/spin, if you hit a wall, there is a chance of you jamming your wheel completely.
Since I've began making this mod, I've always wondered why police and their cruisers have unhealthy advantage over your car, making pursuits agitating. The chases felt a little bland with that old damage modelling that I thought that maybe, just maybe if I could increase somehow deformation, I could make chases a lot more exciting and introduce few new tactics that can help you escape, or get you into even more trouble if you're careless.
Thanks to twice increased deformation, you and police have equal chances of getting knocked out. We all know that police cruises love to smash into your back, right? Well now Ai will smash into you, but they have to take risks because 5 hits and their car can be on fire and knocked out of the chase. Same goes to player.
New tactic in regards to damage makes police equally vulnerable. If you hit them in the front side panel where wheel is (or any of the wheels really), you have high chance of jamming their wheel and making them unable to catch up with you. Same goes to player. You can do that to any car pretty much, making chases even more exciting (atleast for me) and make you THINK before you crash into someone or something.
Add that drop of realism to the car physics and you got yourself a fun mix between simulation and arcade that V lacks, but IV had (however overdone).
This mod includes all DLC vehicles, including newest updates. It also removes turbulence from aircrafts/helis and improves slightly bike driving (however thanks to me being rather vehicle NERD I've spent more time on cars and trucks rather than planes and bikes, but don't worry, I will keep this one up to date.
- Softer suspension, a mix between V and IV.
- A bit more realistic car physics that applies to all cars including DLC ones.
- Increased twice car deformation, introducing few new tactics to chases
- Removed turbulence from aircrafts/helicopters
- Slightly improved vanilla bike physics
- Trucks have now 8 or 10 gears (however I don't think it works right so please test it and give feedback)
Use OpenIV and drop handling.meta file into update.rpf/common/data.
Instructions for installing additional files:
1. Use OpenIV to insert popcycle.dat and vehicles.meta into update.rpf/common/data/levels/gta5
2. Using OpenIV move popgroups.ymt to update.rpf/x64/levels/gta5
If there are issues, please tell me. Also give me suggestions, I will do everything I can to satisfy mod users so don't hesitate to tell me what bothers you here.

I have a bit of trouble finding time to update. I will update, just don't know when.June 15, 2016
So, as already asked by others, does this work with the latest patch/DLC update?July 19, 2016
If I was only allowed to install one mod for GTA V, this would be it. This mod has made the game fun again for me. In my opinion, the driving physics are absolute garbage in the vanilla and almost ruined the entire game. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into this. I can only pay you back with a thank you and a perfect rating.
And for those wondering if it still works after the patch: I have it installed and it's working just fine, only the new dlc cars have GTA V's shitty handling.July 31, 2016
Hey mate, I'd like to know if this mod is compatible with this one https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/realistic-top-speed-for-gta-v , I'd love to install yours but I also like having fast cars, so would it be possible?August 15, 2016
Also, if you plan on making an update in the future, please make your vehicles.meta file compatible with newest VisualV mod :)
I find your car physics the best for this game, realistic (much better than stock), but not too realistic.September 09, 2016
Is this the mod used for driving physics in gta v redux? I hate the look of redux but I like the set of mods he used for driving. Rag dolls and cops etc. Is this the one used? Also does anyone know what other mods he used in his redux?October 01, 2016
@Silentghost Josh stole a lot of work for that mod, but if you just use raiders blood destruction and violence overhaul along with the euphoria physics mod then it makes for better ragdoll physicsOctober 16, 2016
Oh, man, I was looking for this mod. I forgot it name. This is the best realistic handling mod as for me. Especially with the option "No burnout". Everything seems perfect to me.December 12, 2016
>Due to difficulties with removing sinwave motion simulation (turbulence & wind) sadly turbulence version is discontinued for now.
Damn thats a shame, so is modifying the wind, and 4 turbulence values in handling.meta to 0.00000 the only thing we can do to lessen the false turbulence and aircraft instability in the game?February 04, 2017
Alright, this mods handling is fantastic, but the damage is very fucking annoying. I ran over a pedestrian in a time specific mission as Trevor, and the fucking engine in the truck didn't allow it to accelerate anymore, forcing me to retry the mission again. And when I was driving in the Pheonix, the car's tire all of a sudden blows out on me, even though I didn't crash into fucking anything, rendering the car unusable and undrivable. You should've just kept the original deformation for the cars, or at least given an option for others who don't want to go through annoying shit like that.April 17, 2017

The UK's new deputy chief veterinary officer (DCVO) has been named as former Defra policy advisor Graeme Cooke.
Dr Cooke, who will begin his new role at the end of January, is an experienced vet who has worked in a variety of clinical practice types, with extensive time spent in both rural and urban communities.
Long history
He started working for Defra in 2002 as a policy advisor in planning disease outbreak preparedness, before working across areas of UK and EU animal welfare and disease, including international trade negotiations.
After this, he went on to become a director at the World Governing Body of Equestrian Sport, creating new frameworks to overcome a variety of animal health and welfare challenges while managing the organisation's business growth. He has also worked closely with the World Animal Health Organisation (OIE) and the EU, and has been a member of a number of expert working groups at both organisations.
Dr Cooke said: "I am delighted to be able to contribute to the work of maintaining the animal and public health status of the UK. It is a privilege to support our farming and food industry in this role.
"I am looking forward to working again with the team at Defra, its agencies, the devolved administrations and all the individuals and groups that will come together to meet future challenges across animal health and welfare."
Strong candidate
CVO Nigel Gibbens said: "Graeme has been successful in securing the DCVO role against a strong field of candidates and he will be a great addition to the department.
"He will strengthen the animal health team in Defra to serve the interests of the whole of the UK as part of the Government's ongoing commitment to maintaining our high animal health and welfare standards."

Trudeau's talks
Re Gift Of Gab (editorial, June 18): We seem to be forgetting that initially, the New Brunswick charity that hired Justin Trudeau as a speaker was perfectly willing to pay him $20,000. That's not about price or worth, that's about demand. Justin Trudeau is a popular politician right now. If he were to refuse a fee from any charity, every charity would be hounding him to speak. In other words, he'd be a scarce resource in high demand. As it happens, economics has a way of deciding who gets the resource in such situations: whoever can pay.
If MPs stop accepting fees from charities to speak, the charities will soon complain of having no avenue in their attempts to attract the member they want.
Keith Hannaford, St. John's
The mea culpas aside, all I can say is, so much for the "just" in Justin Trudeau: Taking speaking fees from organizations that can least afford it is pretty low, especially for someone with his income. His father must be rolling over in his grave. Speaking of which, a grave is exactly what the Liberals have dug for themselves by picking a Justin (Bieber) phenom as their leader.
Andrew van Velzen, Toronto
A year after speaking to a New Brunswick charity and a few months after addressing a Saskatchewan literacy group, Justin Trudeau is willing to refund his fees? Canadians should make this man prime minister as quickly as possible: He comes with a money-back guarantee.
Don Macpherson, Saskatoon
Enough already. Please leave the poor MPs and senators alone. Not only do they have to sit on boards, attend speaking engagements and do party campaign work, they also have to try and fit in whatever it is we actually pay them for.
Craig Gordon, Fonthill, Ont.
The mayor thing
The interim mayor of Montreal, who replaced the previous mayor on a promise to tackle corruption, faces corruption charges himself and resigns (Mayor's Arrest Deepens Montreal Crisis – June 18). Last month, the former mayor of Laval was charged with bribery, fraud and gangsterism. The mayor of Toronto is accused of smoking crack cocaine. Pork-barreling senators are in the news every day, and now we learn that Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau charged $20,000 to speak to a charitable group.
Question: Why does everyone always pick on Stephen Harper?
Jerry Amernic, Toronto
You mean there's a worse mayor than Toronto's? Unbelievable.
Bruce Reid (head hanging down as he types), Toronto
Ritalin and boys
Asking whether Ritalin helps is secondary to understanding the reasons for the ADHD diagnosis pandemic and the abuse of unnecessarily medicating children, particularly boys (Does Ritalin Really Help? – June 18).
Preliminary results from my own doctoral research show that normal boyhood behaviours have been declared an illness that needs treatment.
Boys' non-cognitive skills – time management, attentiveness in class, willingness to ask for help – are less developed than in girls of the same age. Such behaviours cannot be imbued through medication. Instead, we must make a concerted effort to teach these skills.
Feminization of the curriculum – introduction of girl-friendly pedagogy – over the past 25 years has made boys' learning more tedious, creating classroom environments that are foreign to boys' natural learning mechanisms. The reduction of physical activity has them "climbing the walls."
Our reticence to acknowledge that boys may need their own, single-gender environments needlessly relegates them to also-ran status.
Patrick Tierney, PhD candidate, education faculty, Brock University
Unwilling coalition
Paul Heinbecker, former ambassador to the UN Security Council, greatly overestimates the capability of a "coalition of the willing" to impose a no-fly zone in Syria (Every Day, The Costs Of Inaction Grow – June 18). Without the active participation of NATO, particularly the U.S. Air Force, such an undertaking is a non-starter. The Obama administration does not seem interested in this type of operation; the EU nations even less so.
One has to be careful not to rely on past military operations, such as the Libyan air campaign of 2011, as a predictor for future success. An air campaign in Syria would require much larger, more robust capabilities. With the continuing decline in Western air power resources, the capability to mount such a campaign requires more than simply a willingness to do so.
Bertram Frandsen, Major (Retired), Ottawa
Run to stay put
Re EU Squabbling Slows Free-Trade Deal With Canada (June 18): In case anyone is wondering how important a Canada-EU free trade agreement could possibly be, they should read a new study by the Bertelsmann Foundation, "TTIP: Who Benefits from a Free Trade Deal?" According to this study of the potential ramifications of a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union and the U.S., Canada could lose 100,000 jobs and its per-capita GDP could drop by an incredible 9.5 per cent.
It seems to me that Prime Minister Stephen Harper had better iron out any issues he may face in his negotiations with the EU. The U.S.-EU horse has left the gate. We will need to run hard just to stay where we are.
Nelson Smith, Toronto
The classy thing
Re Thanks? No Thanks (letters, June 18): Common courtesy, grace and respect are sorely missing in politics today. To thank someone for the sacrifices that all politicians make when signing up for public service does not mean you are agreeing with all of their decisions, but it is a classy thing to do when someone is stepping down.
Good leaders see the pros and cons of all alternatives, recognize the trade-offs they have to make, respect that others are entitled to their opinions and have the humility to recognize they are not perfect. Former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty was not perfect by any means, but he had far more class and professionalism than PC Leader Tim Hudak ever will.
Katherine Sheridan, Thornhill, Ont.
Job wanted
I would like to be a senator. Is there an application form? I live in Ontario but I'm willing to represent any province that needs a senator, for example Newfoundland and Labrador. I would buy a cottage there and that could be my permanent residence.
I would need help from the staff in the Prime Minister's Office with the down payment. But that shouldn't be too much of a problem, should it?

Chapter 2: The Witch and the Occultist - Page 2
"The will-'o-the-wisp are ghost lights that travelers see at night, normally in bogs or marshes. They have been knows to make people stray from their path and put them in dangerous, sometimes even fatal situations. They say that those people who fall victim to these ghostly orbs turn into will-'o-the-wisp themselves!"
"You know…" I started as Katie and I were walking in the middle of the night heading towards a classroom building on campus. "…for something that intentionally lures people into danger, don't you think that THIS is one of those times that we should learn from people's past mistakes and NOT look for these 'will-'o-the-wisps'?" It was nearly midnight and in the past, my occultist roommate and I would stay in our rooms and follow a routine: I would finish up homework, and she would go online and look things up…and not do her homework. This is the first time that we're actually following a lead that Katie overheard from students.
"Yes, but Abby-!"
"Abigail." I corrected.
"This is big! I've been spending all week asking around if they saw anything weird on campus and finally someone mentioned strange sightings in the Rover Hall building! Strange lights that would appear and disappear in the windows and on the roof! It's the will-'o-the-wisp! I know it!" She said, very excited. While we were out in the middle of the night, we did exercise caution as it is frowned upon that students are outside this late. In fact, the Headmaster herself recently announced that students should stay indoors for the next three days and not to make an effort to go outside due to safety reasons.
"Look, I'm all for 'searching for the unknown', but I don't think that we should be putting ourselves in harms way. I mean the Headmaster said-" I said to her as Katie stopped abruptly, making me run into her back. I toppled backwards and looked up to see what made Katie stop suddenly.
"We're here." She said as we both looked at the building. Rover Hall was the literature building. While only two stories tall, each classroom was lined with bookshelves, each one filled with books of all genres. Oppose to the north and south libraries, Rover Hall consist of literary classics that the teachers use in their lessons. "Come on!" I heard Katie race towards the building, throwing caution to the wind that there might be teachers or groundkeepers around to catch students.
"K-Katie! Wait!" I whispered loudly as I raced after her. Katie was already tugging at the doorknob, turning it a few times hoping that the lock would give out and let them in. But after watching her try for five seconds, we both knew that it wasn't going to work. "Katie. It's locked."
"I know but still…" She said, backing away from the door and getting a better picture of the entire building. All the windows we could see were pitch black and the roof didn't look like anyone or anything was on top. In a huff, Katie started to walk around the building. "There has to be another way around. Go check the other side Abby!" She ordered, as I stood there dumbfounded for a second before following her order. Alas, when we met up again, we discovered that the other entrances were locked up tight.
"I don't think we're getting in there Katie…" I said to her as we met back at the initial door we checked.
"But we have to. I mean…we're so close! And those girls I talked to said they definitely saw something going on in the windows…"
"Maybe it's just not meant to be. Not tonight. Let's just forget about this and head back to the dorm before-"
"…you've heard, haven't you?"
"About me…and my 'obsession.'" Katie turned around and looked at me eye-to-eye. I wanted to keep eye contact…I really did, but I looked away towards the ground in shame.
"Professor Ano told me that you shouldn't be butting into other people's business." I said, embarrassed.
"Then why did you come along? You could have easily said 'no'. I mean…I'm use to it by now…people saying 'no' to me." Katie said as she walked back towards the door and gave the doorknob a few more turns to see if it'll unlock. "It's no mystery that people think that I'm weird trying to find things that don't exist…but is it really that troubling that I want to believe things like that? Ghost? Espers? Supernatural things that science cannot prove? When has having faith in something means you're crazy? Why did you come out tonight?"
"…I came because you're my friend."
"We're roommates but we're also friends, right? Whether I like it or not, we're going to be together for the next four years. I might as well learn to like my roommate including her hobbies, no matter how weird they are. So they can talk all they want, but I know that out of everyone I'll meet during our four years here, you'll probably be the friend I will lean on and trust the most…" I said to her. She didn't turn around but her body language suggests that she was certainly shivering…and not because of how cold it is outside. "…and I wish that you can lean on me when everyone else doesn't."
This trip isn't going to end here. Not like this! We'll find a way inside even if…
"I'm going to go check the back entrance again. I think the lock there is about to give any moment." I said as I quickly jogged to the entrance on the west side of the building.
She is trying to restore her faith in the unanswerable…that's why she's so obsessed with the supernatural. But I feel like there's more to it than that. Much more. As for me…all I'm trying to find out…
I made it to the west entrance of the building and tried to open the door once more. Once more, the door was locked. Looking left and right, I drew out the wand I was keeping hidden in my left sleeve and pointed it at the doorknob.
…just who or what I am…
"I beg you…please…"

The Revolt of the College Intellectual
€ 42,49

BeschreibungThe exuberant explosions of old college days have traditionally been forgiven as somewhat enviable expressions of the high spirits of exultant youth. Are young intellectuals, now the dominant group in many colleges, less adolescent and more mature, or do their immaturities merely manifest themselves in different ways? As intellectual individualists, students do not usually care for group explosions unless they are for social causes such as the rights of minorities. But their adolescence often manifests itself individually in a superior condescension or in depressive inferiority complexes.
PortraitEverett Lee Hunt, who died in 1984, taught at Huron, Swarthmore College, Cornell University, and the Universities of Illinois and Colorado. His writings include studies of Plato, Aristotle, and Matthew Arnold. He was the eighth president of the Eastern Communication Association Committee of Scholars and one of the founders of the field of communication.

AUGUSTA, Ga., April grand jnry at Warrenton yesterday found a true bill against Charles E. McGregor for the murder of J. M. Cody at that place in October, 1889. The case is a notable one. McGregor was fired at from ambush on the night of December 23, 1887. Tbe shooting was wrapped in mystery for some time. Finally a negro was charged with the shooting, when Cody came forward and confessed to It Conflicting rumors assign various causes for the crime. Fifteen months later Cody was indicted for assault with in- tent to murder McGregor. At the Oc- tober term of court last year Cody failed to appear and search for him was un- availing.

His father puts in the claim. Cases of swindling by Sbellenberger continue to be reported from country merchants, farmers and others and the liabilities will probably amount to a much larger sum than that above mentioned.

AKBOX, O., April first torna- do ever known in this county struck Springfield township Tuesday night The storm moved from northeast to southwest, in a path ten rods wide, ut- terly demolishing everything it met. It first struck the house of A. H. Jones, just west of Springfield Lake, doing slight damage. Eighty rods from Jones' house was the two-story house of Scott Sweitzer and five barns and sheds. The storm demolished every building, leav- ing not a timber standing. The debris la now scattered over a ten-acre lot. Mr. wife and two children were thrown into the cellar when the house went down, and escaped injury. The demolition is complete, nothing but the cellars showing where the buildings were. His loss of crops and farm imple- ments is very heavy. The cyclone struck Sharon township and mowed a swath twenty rods wide and six miles long directly towards Ak- ron, but arose above the surface far enough to pass harmless over this city. Six miles east of Akron it again struck the earth and thenoe continued its course southeast for several miles with, unabated fury.

A hired man res- cued Bremley. The wreck was entirely consumed. Richard Brown was blown, a quarter of a mile and left againsj; a stump, where he was fouad unconscious and badly hurt. Bank Cashier Skips With FOSSTOX, Minn.. April 10. G. Tweeton, cashier of the Fosston Nation- al Bank, has absconded with of the bank's funds and is undoubtedly safe in British territory." He has been traced as far as Fargo, where he bought a ticket for Victoria. A singular entry in Tweeton's books attracted the atten- tion of the bank officials and, learning of the investigation that was to follow, he decamped at once. His sureties are quite wealthy and the bank will lose nothing. Vine Mariners Kescnert from an Inland. PniT.ADEi.riMA, April steam- ship Cuba at this port from Bluefields has brought tbe captain and eight of tbe crew of the bark Hcrnasand, from Port Natal for Progresso. Tbe bark struck on Moront Key.

The Howe bill appropriating to Sup- ply the deficiency occasioned by the in the office of the late sergeaat-at-arms of the Bouae was passed. Tbe Senate then resumed consideration of the Montana contested election case and Mr. Pugh continued his argument In favor of the Democratic Clark and Maginnls. Mr. Turpte made an extended argument la which he defended the right of aliens to vote in Montana. Hie Montana case was then laid aside and Mr. Hale called up the Chinese Cen- sus Enumeration bill. Mr. Hearst said that his idea and notion of legislation on the subject was the passage of b law that would exclude Chinese from coming to the country after a cer- tain date, but mould treat the Chinese already here fairly. The bill was further discussed by Messrs. Stewart, Dolpn, Hale, Dawes and others, but without action the Senate ad- journed. Senate amendment to the House Mil providing for town site entries of land In Oklahoma wag non-concurred in. The Speaker having laid before the House the Senate bill for the Improvement and maintenance of the Na- tions! Zoological Park with a House amend- ment providing that the District of Columbia shall pay half the expense, Mr. McComas moved that the House recede from Its amendment. A lengthened debate ensued. Mr. McComaa' mo- tion was finally defeated, the House insisted on the amendment and a conference ordered. The House then went into Committee of the Whole the Naval Appropriation bill. Mr. Wilkinson, of Louisiana, advocated the estab- lishment of a navy yard at Algiers, La. Mr. Lodge said the matter of establishing a navy yard on the Gulf of Mexico was under consider- ation in tbe committee. The claims of Algiers, Pensacola, Port Royal and other places were presented and, without coming to a conclusion, the committee rose and the House adjourned. OUT AT A LOSS.

DJETAOIT, English syndicate headed by Seaton Karr, of Liverpool, a year ago bought out the Detroit brewing establishments of A. Jacob Mann, Anton Miehen- felder and Charles Endross, paying 000 therefor. Negotiations were pro- longed on the refusal of the Detroiters to take their share of the securities, but the Englishmen were so persistent that they finally paid cash to two brewers. The business failed to bear out the audit and the prospectus and yesterday the English holders sold out the four breweries to a Detroit syndicate com- posed of the local directors of the con- cern and the original owners. The English investors sell oui at a heavy loss, the loss being sufficient, it is reported, to make the investment in the common stock of the English cor- poration a total loss. Alleged Murderer's Corpse Found In s Well. FAULKTOX, S. D., April was rtceived'feere yesterday-that the body of Echardt. the reported would-be mur- derer of his family, was found in a well on a neighbor's farm about two miles south of the scene Of the tragedy. The sheriff, coroner and a large number of citizens have gone to Freeman's place, where the body was found, for an inves- tigation. It is thought the family of the dead man will be taken into custody at once, as there is good reason to be- lieve they killed him and manufactured the story of his attack on them and sub- sequent flight.

As A Witness, a Christmas pageant for the 21st century, will be performed at the Old Whaling Church on Sunday, Dec. 18, and Monday, Dec. 19.
The production features music ranging from medieval carols such as The Angel Gabriel Came Down, and O Come All Ye Faithful to modern gospel music including Rise Up Shepherd and Follow, and He Had Done Great Things for Me.
Minnesingers Concerts
The Martha's Vineyard High School Minnesingers are coming and, well, the holiday season on the Island wouldn't be complete without them. Go hear the concert this weekend or go one better and hang out with high schoolers at the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust soiree held tonight, Dec. 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Dr. Daniel Fisher House in Edgartown.
The concerts take place at the Old Whaling Church today, Dec. 9, at 8 p.m. and tomorrow, Dec. 10, at 4 p.m.
Chorus Is Community Event
Back in 1996, yes that is now a long time ago, the Island Community Chorus sounded its first note. Since that time the choral group, led by director Peter Boak, has performed year-round on the Island. The group has gained a loyal following and by staying true to its roots as a group open to anyone with no auditions required, it has remained an Island institution.
Recently the Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society chose singer Emily Lowe as the recipient of its annual Caroline Worthington Scholarship. Emily graduated from the regional high school this past June and is the daughter of Cheryl and Erik Lowe of West Tisbury, and the granddaughter of Ernest Mendenhall and Kathy Logue.
You never know when that tap on your shoulder is going to come. We've been watching you for a while, they say, as you look around bewildered. No, this isn't a Skull and Bones initiation. It's a cappella.
The Vineyard Sound have been delighting Island ears since 1992. From June to August they can be found wearing their trademark look of shorts, oxford shirts, ties, and sandals or boat shoes at various churches and private events around the Vineyard.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Adam Sandler, no it's OperaFest. That's right, this week at various venues around Oak Bluffs the sounds of passionately, tormented love affairs will fill the air. Note, this is not to be confused with recent events: Passionate, but illegal, sounds of tormented love affairs, the result of too much time spent at the Sand Bar.
The Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society summer program this year has strayed from some of the more traditional offerings.
"The whole business of going to a chamber music concert — well, we've really given that a shake-up," declared Nora Nevin, the society's director of publicity.
It's been an on-again, off-again summer for amplified music on the Oak Bluffs harbor and this weekend the bars on the water will go quiet after selectmen voted to reverse their music policy on Tuesday. Again.
With a voice that embodies a dusty road at the moment when day surrenders to evening, Citizen Cope found the intersection of sensual and earthly. The Memphis-born, D.C.-raised post modern troubadour blends reggae, jazz, folk and various strains of roots music as if there are no lines dividing music — and it shows on his dusky The RainWater LP on his own RainWater Records.
Paul Barrere is laughing. It's 9:30 in the morning, after a show in the Poconos, and the saucy, funky guitar player is basking in the afterglow of another night being a catalyst in one of America's longest running musical hybrids. While Little Feat has never had the commercial success of Southern California contemporaries Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt or the Eagles, they have remained a secret handshake among a musictocracy that truly knows the good stuff.

We present a method of performing high-speed rotational anisotropy nonlinear optical harmonic generation experiments at rotational frequencies of several hertz by projecting the harmonic light reflected at different angles from a sample onto a stationary position-sensitive detector. The high rotational speed of the technique, 103 to 104 times larger than existing methods, permits precise measurements of the crystallographic and electronic symmetries of samples by averaging over low frequency laser-power, beam-pointing, and pulse-width fluctuations. We demonstrate the sensitivity of our technique by resolving the bulk fourfold rotational symmetry of GaAs about its [001] axis using second-harmonic generation.

Scottish broadcaster STV has apologised after its live streaming of the independence debate between Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling broke down, prompting fury among viewers who were unable to watch it on TV outside of Scotland.
STV, which had turned down requests by both the BBC and Sky News to simulcast the debate, said it was hit by "unprecedented demand" for its coverage of the referendum clash.
Critics said it should have anticipated the level of interest after ITV – of which STV is the Scottish licence holder – chose not to broadcast the debate on any of its channels across the UK.
The BBC, which is in negotiations to broadcast its own referendum debate later this month, had offered to simulcast the debate online and on the BBC News channel, which would have made it available on TV across the UK.
But the corporation, which is understood to have made "strenuous efforts" to obtain the rights for the debate, had to make do with a maximum of nine minutes of coverage for its news bulletins and other programmes across TV and radio.
Sky also offered to simulcast the debate but STV took the decision to hold on to the exclusive live rights.
It said viewers outside of Scotland that they would be able to watch the two-hour debate online but the website was unable to cope with a surge in demand after it began at 8pm on Tuesday.
"Feed from STV making a great debate impossible to watch. Really angry," said BBC broadcaster Andrew Neil on Twitter.
"Now lost STV connection. Useless beyond words."
A spokeswoman for STV said: "We have had complaints from people who were understandably frustrated they couldn't get access to it and of course we apologise.
"We had more than 500,000 streams and people who [started watching] before 8pm had a seamless experience. It seems to have been extremely busy at 8pm that unfortunately held up a few people."
One critic accused STV of a "silly turf war" by not allowing other broadcasters to have access to the debate.
The party leaders' debates ahead of the last general election were opened up to other broadcasters, with the second debate hosted by Sky News simulcast on the BBC News channel.
STV said the referendum was a debate secured by the Scottish broadcaster rather than a pooled affair, as was the case with the party leader debates.
A spokeswoman said the BBC was offered the opportunity to show last night's clash in full after 10pm. It will repeat it on the BBC Parliament channel at 7pm today.
The BBC is in negotiations with both sides about staging a debate of its own later this month between Salmond, the Scottish first minister, and Darling, the former chancellor and chairman of the Better Together campaign.
If successful, it is likely to be shown to viewers around the country on the BBC News channel and simulcast on BBC2.
STV's Twitter feed told followers last night: "For those having problems with the STV Player at the moment we are aware of this and are working hard to fix it."
Many viewers trying to watch the debate online were greeted with a blank screen and the message: "Segment loading security violation. Video playback not possible."
Labour MP Tom Watson tweeted: "Don't tell me, you've been surprised by the number of people trying to stream the debate? Totally hopeless."
Others joked that the failure of the site was "ironic" and a sign that Scotland and England were indeed "better together".
STV said: "We're still working on fixing the live stream. The debate will be available online in full a few hours after the programme has finished."
It added: "We are receiving an unprecedented demand for the live stream of the debate. Apologies to those who had problems with the STV Player live stream. We will tweet a link to the full debate as soon as it's available."
STV made the debate available to the whole ITV network which decided not to broadcast it outside of Scotland.
An ITV spokesperson said: "ITV will screen the 8pm to 10pm debate live, in the area where our viewers have a vote in the question under discussion. Viewers in Border Scotland will be able to watch the debate on Freeview. The debate will of course be covered as a news story in our news programmes broadcast to the whole of the UK."

close encounter
CHPT 2- Close Encounter
Enter Jay.
As a boy, Jay always wanted to be a pirate, and now he was Captain Carter.
He headed backstage with the rest, but didn't stay to linger. He didn't want to take the judging today.
Yet even as he heads towards the bathroom to change, someone says, "Go change, Cap'n Crunch," to a chorus of idiots who think they're funny. Jay doesn't pay attention. He doesn't need to.
In the bathroom/locker room/shower area, Jay changes and checks his appearance. His brown, floppy hair lay obediently upon his head, and hangs down over his blue eyes. His gray hoodie guarded his red Kool-Aid Man shirt. To everyone's astonishment, his black denim jeans were actually up to his waist. He's always hated sagging pants.
Jay lost job last week, his girlfriend the day after, and his car yesterday. His parents cut him off saying that he was too expensive. Yes, Jay was living the dream, if the dream means getting on a bus to a tenement in the most ghetto block in the state.
As he leaves, he notices someone walking behind him. He kindly ignores the man, not suspecting anything. At least not yet.
Jay and the stranger somehow ended up on the same bus, got off at the same stop, and began to walk in the same direction.
Suddenly, Jay twirls around and marches right up to the stranger.
"Why are you following me?" he demanded.
"I need you to come with me, Jay," replied the stranger.
"Why should I?"
"Because you will inevitably die if you don't."
"What if I refuse?"
The man stared at Jay with a look of amusement.
"Look, buddy," said the stranger. "We can do this the easy way or the har..."
Before the man could finish, Jay bolted down the alley to his left, a sharp right turn, and out onto the street where he ran straight into… Carl, the grocery store dude.
The wind whipped as an orange light illuminated the road (though no one noticed) and knocked Jay unconscious.
"Guess you chose the hard way."

Boomers and Facebook
Feb 15
The other day, my grandfather friended me on Facebook. That's right, this man who fought in World War II is now social networking with all of his grandkids – sharing photos updates and participating in online polls and games. When looking through my granddad's profile, I was surprised at the amount of personal information he was sharing and with whom. I immediately called him, explained the need to customize privacy settings and remove some of the more sensitive information from his profile.
According to an inaugural report by JD Power and Associates Web Intelligence Division, which analyzed Internet postings from 70 million blogs and discussion boards, 83 percent of Baby Boomers and seniors have a high level of concern about identity theft. Yet, many of them unwittingly engage in online activities that put their identities at risk.
In addition, a recent survey from Impulse Research, sponsored by ProtectMyID.com noted that 75 percent of respondents over the age of 45 actively utilize an online social network, yet alarmingly, more than half are not adequately protecting themselves from fraud. Here are some tips to share with your friends, especially those over 45, who may have already entered or are thinking of entering the world of social networking.
1. Remove Yourself From Facebook Search Results: It's simple to turn off your public visibility by following these simple steps.
– Visit your search privacy settings page.
– Click on "Edit Settings" and enter your password.
– Next to "Facebook Search Results" select the "Only Friends" privacy setting.
2. Remove Yourself From Google: Facebook continues to receive traffic from displaying profiles in search engines. To remove yourself from search engines, visit the search privacy settings page and simply uncheck the box next to "Public Search Results".
3. Control What Information Applications Can Access: Publicly available information includes your name, profile picture, gender, current city, networks, friend list, and pages. The more restrictive you make your profile settings, the less information that's available.
4. Make Contact Information Private: If you post your personal information on your profile, it would make sense to limit who can see it. You can do this by visiting the contact privacy settings page.
5. Understand The New Privacy Settings: Rather than posting a status update that everybody can view, limit those friends who can access your information.

|Locking issue
|Sun, 14 Oct 2007 17:49:10 GMT
Hello, I'm having a weird locking issue. The main loop iterates for around 99 times, and then stalls. If lock monitoring is turned on I get a lock timeout exception. When I use table level locking instead of row level locking, this piece of code works fine, but that's not acceptable as far as the rest of the system is concerned. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can work around that problem? Is there a configuration setting that can be changed that will increase the number of iterations before a deadlock? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Greg Adamski

By THOMAS FLOYD
Ladies and gentleman, MLS Rivalry Week has arrived.
The league's new venture that packs all of its heated feuds into a single weekend of soccer features plenty of intense matchups. The festivities kick off Saturday with a renewal of the Atlantic Cup, as D.C. United will face the New York Red Bulls for the first time since last fall's chaotic playoff series.
Next up is the battle for America's heartland between Sporting Kansas City and the Chicago Fire, followed by the Rocky Mountain Cup featuring Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids. And last but not least Saturday, the Seattle Sounders will host the Portland Timbers in a Cascadia Cup duel.
And the action continues Sunday, with FC Dallas facing the Houston Dynamo in this year's sole Texas Derby before the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA add another chapter to SuperClasico history.
Here is a rundown of the full Week 3 slate:
NEW YORK RED BULLS vs. D.C. UNITED (Saturday, 12:30 p.m., NBC)
Last year's playoff series had it all: Own goals and red cards. A superstorm and a nor'easter. Penalty kick saves. A late winner. With a little snow in the forecast for Saturday morning, Red Bull Arena could have a familiar feel for Mike Petke's home coaching debut.
United get captain Dwayne De Rosario back from suspension, but keep an eye on the matchup between midfielder Nick DeLeon and whoever plays left back for New York, whether it be Roy Miller, Heath Pearce or Connor Lade. Miller's performances have left that position up in the air, and New York will need a good performance to snuff the second-year winger who burned them last year.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs. CHICAGO FIRE (Saturday, 3 p.m., NBCSN)
Both teams will want to get back on track in this one, with Kansas City returning home after a loss in Toronto last weekend and the Fire sitting at 0-2 following defeats to Los Angeles and New England.
With both clubs offering revamped midfields, the middle of the park should be intriguing. If Jeff Larentowicz and Joel Lindpere can keep up with Kansas City's trio of Paulo Nagamura, Uri Rosell and Benny Feilhaber, the Fire might have a chance at stealing a result away from home.
MONTREAL IMPACT vs. TORONTO FC (Saturday, 4 p.m., TSN/RDS)
A year ago, this wouldn't have been the most fascinating of games. But a week after Canadian teams swept their matches for the first time, this tilt should have plenty of energy.
Keep an eye on the matchup between Toronto striker Robert Earnshaw and Montreal centerbacks Alessandro Nesta and Matteo Ferrari. All boasting substantial European pedigrees, those three players have played big parts in their clubs' unlikely surges.
PHILADELPHIA UNION vs. NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (Saturday, 5 p.m., MLS Live/Univision Dep.)
The Union are undefeated in seven meetings with the Revolution, and they'll try to keep it that way in this battle between clubs coming off impressive road victories.
In a head-to-head clash between two of the more athletic and talented young players in MLS, Union centerback Amobi Okugo — with the help of partner Jeff Parke — will try to hold Revolution striker Jerry Bengtson in check.
COLUMBUS CREW vs. SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., MLS Live)
Thanks to the unlikely heroics of Adam Jahn (and a little — well, a lot of — help from Roy Miller), San Jose returned to its dramatic winning ways last week against New York. Now, they travel for the first time this year to face a Columbus team playing its home opener after a 1-1 start.
When it comes to containing crafty Columbus attacker Federico Higuain, San Jose likely will need Sam Cronin and Rafael Baca to win the midfield battles and halt the reigning Newcomer of the Year before he can get close to goal.
REAL SALT LAKE vs. COLORADO RAPIDS (Saturday, 6 p.m., MLS Live)
Following a split on the road to start the season, Salt Lake returns to the considerable comforts of Rio Tinto Stadium, where they will host an 0-2 Rapids side. The home team has not lost in the Rocky Mountain Cup since 2007 — when RSL won in Colorado.
Both clubs will be far from full strength in this one, with Salt Lake still missing Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert and Javier Morales, while Colorado will be without Martin Rivero and Jaime Castrillon. To boot, Edson Buddle, Pablo Mastroeni and Matt Pickens are questionable for the Rapids.
SEATTLE SOUNDERS vs. PORTLAND TIMBERS (Saturday, 8 p.m., NBCSN)
Capping a full day of MLS action on the NBC family of networks will be the grand finale between these heated Cascadia Cup foes. Seattle will look to carry over the momentum from its epic midweek Champions League comeback, while Portland will try to work out the kinks that left it with just a single point from two home games.
In what could be the first of many entertaining battles between them, Sounders defensive midfielder Osvaldo Alonso will face new Portland playmaker Diego Valeri. Whichever team gets the best of that matchup should find itself in pretty good shape.
FC DALLAS vs. HOUSTON DYNAMO (Sunday, 1 p.m., ESPN2)
If anything would make the Dynamo feel better after being ousted from the Champions League, it would be going to FC Dallas Stadium and claiming El Capitan for another year.
With Blas Perez back from suspension, Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman will have some tough decision to make as he tries to find room for the myriad attacking pieces he now has at his disposal.
LOS ANGELES GALAXY vs. CHIVAS USA (Sunday, 5 p.m., UniMas)
Chivas should finally be able to play in front of a real crowd at Home Depot Center as they "travel" to visit the Galaxy, who have been just fine in MLS and Champions League play without David Beckham and Landon Donovan.
Chivas do present a challenge up top in the form of young, havoc-wreaking strikers Tristan Bowen and Juan Agudelo, who should make sure Galaxy centerbacks Omar Gonzalez and Leonardo stay busy.
What are your thoughts on MLS Rivalry Week? Do you like the league's effort to emphasize regional feuds? What is the best matchup of the bunch?
Share your thoughts below.
The 'SuperClasico' is a fabrication, though Chelis' latest comments will rile up Arena.
Everybody knows the real rivalry in CA is LA-SJ.
Timbers roll the Sounders who are still shocked they beat Tigres. Valeri controls the game and Porter starts his streak of 10 straight games without a loss to SSFC.
Keep dreaming. Portland is nothing more than Seattle Jr.
Call us when you have some chants you didn't "borrow."
ed - houston
i was thinking the same thing. and even if Seattle "borrowed" some chants… no big deal, all teams do that to certain extents.
Au contraire, Portland was founded before Seattle. Makes us older, but smaller.
I think our new toy may say otherwise. Have fun with Oba tomorrow.
Dream on, Seattle went a different direction than Portland, we signed a DP forward that will actually score.
Ten straight games. That would be quite a reversal for fortune for a side that has yet to win, has already allowed 2.5 gpg, and who racked up one of the worst MLS road records of all time in 2012.
The CCL pace that the Sounders have been subject of late to makes Portland appear to be moving in slow motion. The Timbers have improved a lot. But not a lot enough. I think they will be much more difficult to deal with later in the season, though. Cascadia competition will be tight in 2013.

Who is Freddy Adu not playing for this weekend?
For some reason, this touched a nerve. Screw Philly. They offered Adu a contract and now, they are unwilling to honor that contract. It's not Adu's fault that they overpaid. If someone offered me half a million to do my job, am I going to say "oh no guys, I'm really worth a lot less?" Or if my current employer comes in one day and says "hey, by the way, we want to cut your pay by 75%," of course I'm going to be pissed.
If anything, Adu's past was out there; we all know it. We've seen him bounce around, and the Union were the ones stupid enough to give him the money. But the problem is – Adu has a future in this league and quite possibly with the USMNT, and in this case, the Union are directly responsible for stunting his development. As a fan of USMNT, I'm concerned. A club in our domestic league is sabotaging the career of a pool player because of their own business failings. Unfortunately, Freddy doesn't get a whole lot of sympathy because of his own prior actions and those of his handlers, but at the end of the day, what Philly is doing to his career is not right.
I agree. Whatever Adu's shortcomings may be, he's still a quality player that has a big upside on the field. He needs to be playing.
Gulati should hire Tony Robbins or Oprah to motivate him to get it together. (His talent, not the Philly contract thing because I agree with Newton)
Adu is not a quality player. Adu has technical ball skill and can make a good pass – periodically. Adu doesn't have a soccer brain, and his shortcomings hurt every team he is on, and it has always done so in the past. He has no idea how to actually play the game in a competitive environment unless the entire team works to help compensate for his lack of positional awareness and strength. Adu is a don't.
He would be better suited to the soccer version of the Harlem Globtrotters – all skill, no substance.
Blast away. Just my $0.02.
The issue is not what you or I think of Freddy Adu's abilities. It's hard to rate a player that is not currently playing who has had an up and down career, but is still young. This issue is a former national team player is being frozen out by a club in our own domestic league due to their own business failings. At 23, Freddy still has tremendous upside both on a club level and a national team level, but whether or not he continues to develop remains to be seen. But at this point, he's not even getting a chance. As a USMNT fan who wants to see improved development in all of the players in the pool, this situation is concerning.
How many clubs does he have to play/fail for before it's him and not the club(s)? Just wondering. Freddy apologists need to look at the facts. Next club is #9 in 9 years. Look, I think Freddy has all kinds of skill, but when you play for that many teams and have a hard time fitting in It's not the fault of 8 clubs.
This would have been better to have Chicago play Columbus, Kansas City play Houston, LA San Jose, then of the three misfits have Vancouver (the best team) play Chivas/Dallas.
ed - houston
makes sense to me but scheduling, even at the youth level, is a P I T A …. i am just glad they incorporated a rivalry week into the season.
I'm a broke college kid that wants cheap tickets to the Costa Rica game. Anyone know where I could find some?
Looks like Oba Martins will be in town tonight, could be in the 18 against Portland tomorrow.
Joshua Mayers @joshuamayers
Sigi Schmid on Obafemi Martins: "Depending on their being no hiccups on the arrival of his flight, he's eligible for our 18 tomorrow."
ed - houston
damn, that would be very fast for an Int'l Transfer Certificate, but yeah, why not, let him play asap, no better opponet than your main rival.
oh wait my Whitecaps have a bye….
June 8th, the 127th ( ? ) game versus the Sounders is right around the corner.
Enjoy not crying over a loss while you can.
