State Turns to the Dogs to Eliminate Little Fire Ant
State invasive species officials are looking at using Australian dogs trained to sniff out little fire ants to help curb the invasion of the species on Oahu and other islands. Plans are in the works to bring the trained dogs and their handlers to Hawaii in April to conduct an assessment of Maui, Oahu and the Big Island, where the pests have been found. The dogs might be cross-trained to also detect the presence of coqui frogs, another invasive species threatening the native environment.

Dear Kris, Charles and docs + Translations teams,

I've come with this idea this morning when I'm searching for the NetBSD books.
Actually there is huge demand on books and documentation in my native lang ( Malay ),
but no one has doing it instead of HOW-TO's ( I'm doing it ) and some LINUX books translated
from taiwan (not good enough). So here I like to suggest:

1- Translated the PCBSD Quick Guide  http://docs.pcbsd.org/guide/ page since after this I'll do massive
promotion to education and govt sector thru exhibition, fair and other local media, so possibly i need to print it
and give it to them, and also can give them links to refer incase they need some reference.

2- If there any plans to make a simple yet easy_to_understand @ friendly PCBSD books? I like to contribute
on translate it and publish it here, pro-printed form.

So other lang translations team, any comments about this? Hope all of u agreed with me

TQ

Arafat

TENS of thousands of Victorian children have been ordered to stay home from school today in an unprecedented act of caution as the state braces itself for its most dangerous fire conditions since Black Saturday.
Authorities have also stepped up their warnings to residents in threatened areas, telling them to leave their homes before 10am or be prepared to stay and fight if fires flare up.
With several big fires still burning near populated areas, including Daylesford, authorities fear the return of strong northerly winds and temperatures up to 40 degrees across the state today could create another major emergency.
There are also fears that lightning strikes later in the day could spark new fires.
As a day of total fire ban was declared across the state, Premier John Brumby repeated his dire message from the lead-up to Black Saturday, warning people not to travel unnecessarily and to stay away from the bush, including the Great Ocean Road.
"We all need to exercise common sense. If you don't need to go out then don't," he said. "If you do need to go out, then leave early, but carefully consider your travel plans."
In an unprecedented step, the Government ordered the closure of almost 400 schools and children's centres for the day in bushfire-prone areas.
Education Minister Bronwyn Pike said 192 public schools and 176 licensed kindergartens, day care centres and creches would be shut.
Another 16 Catholic schools and 10 independent schools will also be shut.
Ms Pike said it was a "precautionary action" following advice from the Country Fire Authority and the State Emergency Service.
Three primary schools - Marysville, Strathewen, and Middle King Lake - were burnt down in the Black Saturday fires three weeks ago.
So far, the official death toll from the disaster stands at 210. But experts say the fatalities could have been much higher had the fires occurred on a school day.
"There will be several thousand people affected by (the closures), but that's a small price to pay compared to the risk that people potentially are at," Ms Pike said. "This is an extraordinary set of circumstances. We've got a tinder dry environment, we've got existing fires and we of course are now working through the process. This just happens to be an extraordinarily large number of schools."
School principals were working frantically last night to notify families of today's closures, sending home letters with students or calling parents individually. Posters will also be placed on school buildings today, and some principals will be at school gates turning children away in case families had not been notified last night.
At Daylesford Secondary College, principal Heather McIntyre said that after a week of imminent danger, staff and students were relieved about the decision to close today.
Of the school's 495 students, about 200 had already stayed away this week because of the fire threat.
Tension has also been high at Deans Marsh Primary, where the school's 42 students have spent the week practising fire drills. "The Otways has been pretty dry - any spark and I think it'll go," principal Iain Stoddart said.
Of the closed state schools, 61 are around the eastern metropolitan region, including Healesville High School, Emerald Secondary College and Ferntree Gully North Primary School. A further 35 public schools have closed in the Gippsland area, 30 in the Grampians, and 29 in the Loddon Mallee region.
Sixteen Catholic schools will close in areas including Bunyip, Belgrave and Yarra Junction. A further 10 independent schools will close on the advice of the Association of Independent Schools.
CFA deputy chief fire officer John Haynes said today was "prime fire weather", with temperatures nearing 40 degrees and a strong northerly wind, followed by a dangerous south-westerly change in the afternoon. "If you are going to leave, go to some of the relief centres set up in some of the high fire-danger areas or, if you want to, go to the movies for the day, see family members in the CBD."
"If you are going to stay, be prepared, make sure you drink plenty of water, wear your long sleeves, long pants, sturdy boots and listen to the radio for urgent threat messages."
Fears are greatest for towns in the Yarra and Warburton valleys, including Healesville, Yarra Glen, Warburton and Steels Creek, which are as close as four kilometres to the edge of a massive, uncontained inferno that has been looming over them since Black Saturday.
Other areas that could come under threat include Daylesford and surrounding towns near the Muskvale fire, which has been contained but could flare up. Residents of Whittlesea, Wallan, and those threatened by the Upwey blaze on Monday should also be alert.
The dangerous weather could resume next week, with strong winds forecast for Tuesday, as well as 32-degree heat, before a showery change.
Acting Superintendent Michael Sayer said traffic police across the state would be on the roads today to help motorists deal with the bushfire threat.
Information on road closures is available at the VicRoads website, www.vicroads.vic.gov.au, and on ABC radio updates.

The pressing problems of the world economy may be solved in the back of a car driving through Sydney's peak hour traffic later this month, according to Treasurer
Mr Hockey is to chair the Group of 20 Finance Ministers meeting in Sydney on February 22 and 23 – attended by the finance ministers and central bankers of the world's 20 largest economies – and he says he has changed the format of the talks to make them less formal.
The talks are part of a series of meetings that will take place in Australia this year during the nation's presidency of the G20, culminating in the G20 Leaders' Summit in Brisbane in November.
The Coalition used to mock former prime minister
Most importantly, it is a forum that gives Australia a seat at the top table (unlike, say, the G7 or G8).
The fact that it is not a formal institution, and therefore allows ministers and leaders to meet to discuss issues in a less structured, agenda-driven forum is also high on the list of positives.
Mr Hockey told The Australian Financial Review that the recent international tensions caused by the impact of the US Federal Reserve's unwinding of its monetary policy stimulus meant the meeting in Sydney was "inevitably going to take on greater significance than we would have expected a month ago".
"The discussions I've had with individual ministers and central bankers indicate that there is a strong degree of support for the agenda, " he said.
"I have re-formatted the G20 agenda, which some people have suggested was courageous for someone who has been in the job for three or four months."
The re-formatting involves a lot more informality, it transpires.
"I got the most out of the more informal discussions [when attending the International Monetary Fund and G20 meetings in Washington last year] when we could interact with each other and were not constrained by traditional speeches and processes, and I wanted to facilitate that in our agenda in Sydney," Mr Hockey said .
"Our agenda [does] facilitate that, which is one of the reasons why I think we are getting a terrific turnout.
"We will have formal sessions but we are having a dinner with just the Finance Ministers and we are using Admiralty House, and we are using the governor's residence," Mr Hockey said.
"And there are moments where we are commuting with each other so that you can have a side conversation
"There are numerous other opportunities for informal discussions and opportunities for more formal discussions," he said.
"It is a better format, more in keeping with Australian values which is less formality and more focus on outcomes and they are all very excited by that."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I tripped and fell on a broken piece of metal on the floor from the counter in a restaurant and tore my rotator cuff. Their insurance company accepted liability and are paying for all medical costs, including surgery. I am self-employed and I'm told the recovery time is 6 months. I have to have full use of both my arms to make my living and I am very afraid of not being able to do that. Is it possible to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company so I have something to live on during my recovery? I have made numerous attempts to contact attorneys, but I can't get anybody to return my phone calls or e-mail. I badly need some advice. I would very much appreciate some kind of feedback. Thank you!!
The answer is that you never speak with an insurance company directly. A local lawyer can take the case on a contingency fee basis and get you the money you deserve, not a nuisance settlement.Ask a similar question
The short answer is yes, but the reality is probably not. Insurance companies typically like to settle in a lump sum. Your are risking leaving significant money on the table by doing it yourself. You should get a lawyer!Ask a similar question
Keep trying to find a lawyer. I can't recommend trying to settle it yourself. Normally, cases don't settle until you have a complete idea of the extent of the injuries - after the healing process has been completed. Then you have a better chance of obtaining a full financial recovery, including the lost earnings, the compensation for your pain, and the medical bills, etc.
Best wishes.
[In accordance with the community guidelines of Avvo, this is not "legal advice", nor does it form an attorney-client relationship.]Ask a similar question
This is not the type of claim which you should attempt to negotiate on your own. Generally an insurance carrier will not make the type of agreement you are talking about. You should keep in mind that the adverse insurance carrier is neither your friend nor your good neighbor. The sole goal of any insurance carrier as to pay nothing or as little as possible on your claim. Whoever told you that you could anticipate 6 months to recovery after rotator cuff surgery is being very optimistic.
I suggest you redouble your efforts to locate a personal injury attorney. Based on the facts you have told us, you should be able to interest an attorney in undertaking your representation. Don't give any further statement or information to the adverse insurance carrier without speaking with an attorney. If you have given them access to your medical records by way of a release for your records, I suggest you formally revoke the medical release. Your attorney should control the flow of medical information to the adverse carrier.

Guitarist, singer and songwriter Marc Broussard's new album Carenco (pronounced Karen-Crow) is named after his hometown in Louisiana. At a young 22, he sounds wise beyond his age mixing up soul and R&B with heavy doses of good old fashioned rock 'n' roll. Growing up in Lafayette, Louisiana, Broussard was exposed to music as a youngster as his dad was guitarist for the legendary South Louisiana swamp band The Boogie Kings. Marc debuted in 2002 with the album Momentary Setback, and on Carencro he continues to hone his incredible rocking soul stylings with his best songs and most soulful singing yet.
Like Maxwell, D'Angelo, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Musiq, and Macy Gray, Van Hunt is a member of the "neo-soul" generation - a new generation of young artists who draw on R&B's rich past yet give it their own unique spin.
One of true architects and legends of reggae, Toots Hibbert & The Maytals are responsible for some of the reggae classics of our time, including "Pressure Drop," "Time Tough," "Monkey Man," "Funky Kingston," and "54-46 Was My Number."
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Toot's musical legacy precedes this collection, True Love, a stunning, well executed star-studded affair. Taking a page out of Carlos Santana's play book in his making of the Grammy award winning Supernatural, Toots gathered a wide range of guest stars for the making of True Love.
One of XPN's Artists To Watch for 2004, singer-songwriter, Ray Lamontagne explains how Stephen Stills saved his life. One of six children raised by a single mom who worked hard to make ends meet, Lamontagne – who barely made it out of high school left his family for Lewiston, Maine. Bored, going nowhere in his life and doing some serious soul searching Ray was in Lewiston working long hard hours in a shoe factory when he experienced a musical epiphany.
For the uninitiated - and those unfamiliar with her music - Jonatha Brooke has been making solo records that bridge folk and pop since the mid-Nineties. Prior to her solo career, Jonatha was a member of The Story, a duo that also included Jennifer Kimball. Their 1989 debut, a collection called Grace In Gravity, was originally released on the folk-based Green Linett record label, and the band was promptly signed to Elektra Records.
Welcome to the shape of jazz to come. He is pianist and singer-songwriter Jamie Cullum, currently one of a handful of "twentysomething" "jazz" artists interpreting pop songs old and new, and writing originals on his own unique terms. Cullum's album Twentysomething, and his charismatic, energetic shows land him in the States as a bonafide UK superstar. Superstardom in the UK rarely assures success in the States (ask the Smiths and Robbie Williams about that), however, early stateside reviews of Cullum's new album and his sensational stage show are pointing towards something new and interesting coming our way.
July 14, 2001 approximately 11 months (count 'em – 11) after Five For Fighting and John Ondrasik released America Town, John was on stage at XPN's Singer-Songwriter Weekend and still on the brink of commercial success. John sat down at the piano and played the opening chords to "Superman,"
In early 2002 WXPN listeners and members got their first taste of the sounds and music of Citizen Cope on his self-titled debut record on the Dreamworks label. Fusing soulful, down-home grooves with pop sensibilities, Cope's record quickly found a home on 88.5 and developed a nice following in our listening areas. Cope's debut was smart, intelligent, high quality music for an integrated world. Not afraid to take on weighty, social, cultural and political issues in his lyrics, he's both a realist and an optimist. Songs like "If There's Love," "Let The Drummer Kick It," "Mistaken Identity," and "Contact" quickly became staples on the radio dial at XPN, as did Cope's collaboration with Santana on the song "Sideways" from Santana's Shaman album.
One of XPN's Artists To Watch for 2004, Charlotte Martin is a remarkable new talent. In 2003 Ms. Martin released an EP called In Parentheses that signaled her engaging arrival. An intense piano-laden collection of confessional songs in which she demonstrated her amazing vocals, it was but a hint of the magic she would ultimately release on her full debut album, On Your Shore.
A fantastic new artist is emerging from the acoustic music world and she's one of our Artists To Watch for 2004. Nashville singer-songwriter Adrienne Young's debut album is a beautiful, well-crafted and passionate collection of songs that brings to mind the work of artists like Gillian Welch, Mindy Smith and Nickel Creek in their musical context and breadth. Like each of those artists Ms. Young is a unique artist with a compelling vision and message. She's a neo-traditionalist comfortable with old-timey music who spins it out in a modern, contemporary world.

CLEVELAND They came to boo him and ride him Thursday, but Miami Heat forward LeBron James just took the Cleveland fans out of perhaps the most anticipated NBA game this season.
Fans let James know how they felt about taking his "talents to South Beach" with chants of "Akron hates you," the occasional profanity and lots of booing — early.
But in his first game back against his former team, James reminded Cavaliers fans what they no longer have, scoring a game- and season-high 38 points in a 118-90 romp.
That was the main course on a day Clevelanders thought they would never see, a native son adding to the city's long, dark history of heartbreaking sporting loss.
James made his first shot — a jumper on the right baseline with 10:41 left in the first quarter — and was so loose he occasionally walked over to the home bench and talked to the Cavaliers players.
"It was our most complete game of the year," said James, who shot 15-for-25 with eight assists and five rebounds for the Heat (12-8).
GAME REPORT: Heat 118, Cavaliers 90
COVER STORY: Cleveland faithful ready to vent
PHOTOS: Miami Heat season
His coach agreed, after seeing Dwyane Wade hit for 22 points, James Jones for 18 and Chris Bosh for 15. "It was a great collective effort," Erik Spoelstra said. "This is the first time I have seen this connection all year long."
James had 14 points by halftime and scored 24 in the third quarter for a 95-65 lead. By then, the fans' lung power was all but gone, and so were the Cavs (7-11).
"It was nothing personal for myself against the fans. It won't be, ever," James said. "I understand their frustration."
James overcame entering an arena where fans once loved him and Thursday loathed him. Extra security was inside and outside.
He warmed up listening to music, occasionally singing, with one headphone on, one off. He spotted Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson and advised, "Move in if you want to make that jumper. That shot is broke as hell."
Hickson smiled and said, "Wait until 8 o'clock."
And that's when James went to work.
Thriving in a hostile environment
Who would have figured the only thing the Heat needed to kick-start their season was a visit to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers?
Instead of fearing this game, facing and conquering his former team is what James needed to perhaps get Miami's season turned around.
James made his first shot and didn't stop making shots until late in the third quarter. By then, he had a season-high 38 points, with eight assists and five rebounds, and the Heat were on their way to a commanding victory.
"I'm very exhausted," James said of his emotional return. "I didn't get much sleep last night. I didn't get much sleep today. I'm glad we played well as a team."
James didn't even need to play in the fourth quarter.
Nearly a week after a players-only meeting following a loss to the Dallas Mavericks, and a confab between James and Spoelstra, the Heat have won three in a row.
Spoelstra spoke to the team of what was important: coming together. "We are a family, and we'll take care of our two brothers," Spoelstra said of James and former Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas. "And you do that collectively by making ourselves feel normal and doing this together.
"The second thing is this is an extreme environment here tonight. There's no way around that. We want to stay in the moment as much as possible."
They were in the moment. Wade had nine rebounds and nine assists to go along with his 22 points, and Jones had five three-pointers off the bench.
But James was the centerpiece, leading up to and during one of the most hyped games of the season. The game started with boos for James and cheers for Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. But the night ended belonging to James. He said he didn't take anything the fans said personally.
"I have to maintain my focus no matter what's said or done during that game," he said.
James dominated, especially in the third quarter, scoring 24 on 10-for-12 shooting. At one point the Heat had an 88-50 lead, their largest of the season, and the final ended up as Cleveland's biggest loss.
Also on James' final stat sheet: zero turnovers. He entered leading the league in turnovers; it was his first game without one.
It was also a night for Ilgauskas who spent the first 12 seasons of his NBA career with the Cavaliers and is that team's all-time leader in games played. He followed James to Miami in the offseason. His reception was much warmer than that for James, who was booed and jeered.
The Heat visit the Toronto Raptors on Feb. 16 and hope to do the same for Bosh, who left Toronto for Miami.
"We know we haven't played up to par against plus-.500 teams," James said. "We're going to try to keep this momentum going."

Due to the escalation of fighting between Israel and Hamas, Aluf Benn, editor-in-chief of the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz, abruptly canceled an upcoming Bay Area visit, which included speaking engagements at several local institutions.
Benn had been scheduled to appear at the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federa-tion on Friday, Nov. 16, the JCC of the East Bay and Saratoga's Congregation Beth David on Sunday, Nov. 18, and the JCC of San Francisco on Monday, Nov. 19.
Haaretz management wanted Benn to stay in Israel to report on developments in the Gaza Strip, according to Donny Inbar of the S.F.-based Israel Center, which was coordinating the talks.
Benn, who has been at Haaretz for 23 years, was scheduled to speak locally about the effect of the U.S. election on U.S.-Israel relations, Israel's response to the Arab Spring and how journalism is changing in Israel. He was to be the keynote speaker at the Global Day of Learning at the JCC of the East Bay in Berkeley.

Ghoul's Graveyard
This Ghoul's Graveyard is the perfect treat to serve at any Halloween party.
- Servings: 30
Photography: not applicable
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, October 2005
- 1 frozen 56-ounce Sara Lee Uniced Chocolate Brownie, thawed
- 1 frozen 10 3/4-ounce Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake, thawed
- 6 Sara Lee Large Chocolate Chunk Brownies, 2 1/2 ounces each
- Royal Icing Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies, thinned with water until pourable
- Black gel food coloring
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- Miniature candy pumpkins, for decorating
- Miniature autumn candy leaves, for decorating
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Using a serrated knife, trim 1/2 inch from each of the 4 edges of the brownie; cut trimmings into 1-inch pieces. Place on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Wrap un-iced brownie in plastic wrap, and reserve.
Slice pound cake lengthwise into 3 equal pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. Using cookie cutters or a sharp paring knife, cut the slices into ghost and tombstone shapes (you'll need about 4 ghosts and 12 tombstones in varying sizes). Transfer to wire rack with brownie pieces. Bake until dried out, about 20 minutes. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, place 1 cup of royal icing in a small bowl. Stir in a small drop of food coloring, to color it light gray; set aside. In another small bowl, place 1/2 cup royal icing. Stir in cocoa powder until smooth and tan in color; cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
Pour all but 2 tablespoons remaining white royal icing over ghosts to coat completely. Using the gray royal icing, pour over tombstones to cover. You can vary the color of the tombstones by adding a little more food coloring, if desired. To prevent the ghosts and tombstones from sticking to the wire rack, gently lift with an offset spatula occasionally. Allow icing to set completely, about 4 hours.
Add enough food coloring to the reserved 2 tablespoons white royal icing to color it black. Transfer to a small disposable pastry bag fitted with a No. 2 or No. 4 plain round tip. Pipe tombstones with names and dates; set aside to set. Use remaining black royal icing to outline or give faces to ghosts, if desired. Set aside to set as well.
Transfer un-iced brownie to a large serving tray. Using a serrated knife, trim and level the corners of the reserved brownie to make the graveyard. Cut iced brownies into 1/4-by-1-inch strips. Place strips cut side down, with icing facing outward, in the corners of the graveyard, placing strips about 3 layers high in the corners. You want it to resemble an old, slightly uneven brick wall. Transfer reserved tan icing to a pastry bag fitted with a No. 6 plain round tip. Use the brown icing for the mortar between the bricks.
Arrange tombstones and ghosts in graveyard as desired. Use a paring knife to form a hole in the brownie to set each ghost and tombstone in and prevent them from tipping over.
Using a food processor, pulse dried brownie pieces until fine and resembling dirt. Mound some of the "dirt"; in front of tombstones, and sprinkle the remaining "dirt" around the graveyard. Decorate with candy pumpkins and candy leaves, as desired.

The stark, implacable guitar figure that opens the latest release from punk-era survivor Bob Mould makes one thing clear immediately: Silver Age is a rock record; period, full stop. That's no small thing: As a leader of seminal hardcore band Hüsker Dü and as the frontman of crunch-pop trio Sugar, Mould was responsible for some of the most anthemic riff-fests of the '80s and '90s. But from 1998 solo LP The Last Dog and Pony Show, at which point Mould declared he was finished with plugged-in touring, the iconic singer-songwriter has pursued disparate paths—stripped-down acoustic balladry; slick Auto-Tuned pop; digital dance music in the still-running duo Blowoff.
Whether Mould purged his demons with last year's publication of a candid memoir, See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody, remains debatable: Silver Age includes plenty of subject-to-interpretation barbs. "Silly bird you bought a lousy dream?/?You took a number from the star machine," Mould sings in "Star Machine." Words to an ex-comrade? Maybe, but soon you wonder if he's singing into a mirror: "You told the world you had to fire the band?/?Your little world has gotten out of hand?/?The star machine will hand your ass right back to you."
Meant as a counterpart to the recently reissued Sugar LP Copper Blue, the new disc echoes its predecessor's lacerating riffs, soaring melodies and punchy rhythm section (here, bassist Jason Narducy and Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster). Fittingly, you'll hear those two albums juxtaposed live for Mould's return to Brooklyn.—Steve Smith

Fight Night Round 2
Review by FatJoJo04
"Fight Night Round 2 proves to be a knockout."
For the second year in a row EA Sports has put out the only boxing game on the market with this year's version entitled Fight Night Round 2. The fact that there's no competition against the game in the boxing market hasn't deterred EA from making it a great game with new features galore.
New Features: 9/10
Last year EA dazzeled audiences with a new way of throwing punches involving the right analog stick. It proved to be a very innovative and fun way of playing the game, and this year EA has improved upon it very nicely. Now it is possible to throw a haymaker punch while using the right analog stick. Whenever you're throwing a hook or an uppercut, you start to throw the punch normally(press left/right on the right stick for a hook, press down and right/left on the right stick for an uppercut), but to throw the haymaker, you move the stick back in the opposite direction and then circle it up for the powerful punch. So if you wanted to throw a powerful right hook, you move the right analog stick to the right, then pull it down, and then move it back right and straight up. It might seem complicated, but it is very easy to use. It adds a new strategic element to the game. Another thing that EA has done to the right stick is that they have made putting together combos much easier. Now if you wanted to throw a combo, you can just move the stick left or right to keep throwing punches. So you could start with a jab(up to the left for a right hander) and then quickly move it to the right and then back from the left for an easy three hit combo. You'll be able to string together combos much easier this time around.
Another one of EA's big improvements this year is the new cutman feature. Now during your time in the corner, you can control the cutman. You can help reduce the swelling of your fighter as well as work on their cuts, and it's very simple. All you have to do is press one button to work on an area(swelling or cuts) and then move to an area on your face. There are four different areas to work on, both sides of the eye and both sides of the cheek. Then to work on those areas, you just move the right analog stick around and try to keep the cursor inside a moving target. It is very simple and the amount of damage you have taken is represented in a number value. The more you keep the cursor inside the specific area, the more it goes down. It's a great feature put in by EA.
Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay this just as phenomenal as last year. In addition to the new cutman and improvements to the right analog stick punching usage, you are able to now move and block at the same time. This is great if you've gotten yourself into a bad situation and need to keep your distance from your opponent. Another thing that could help you in a bad situation is the new grab button put in this year. If you're about to go down from a knockout, then you can now grab your opponent and force him into a clutch. If you're successful, you get yourself out of the near knockout situation and some newly added stamina. If you're not, then you stay in that bad situation and lose energy. It's a subtle touch, but it's very nice. But if you do find yourself going down, then getting back up is much easier. Instead of having to match up the figure of the ref, now it's just two circles that you have to match up to the center. It is a whole lot easier and now you won't have to fret about trying to get that image of the ref together right. All in all, the gameplay of this year's version is put together almost flawlessly.
Controls: 8/10
For those that aren't skillful with the analog stick, there is an option to use the buttons instead of the stick. This way the game accommodates two different ways of playing the game, although there are several different configurations to choose from. Whichever version you decide to go with, you won't find much problems with it, if any. There are only a few problems that might arise. One thing is that when you play, you have to have quick fingers. If you want to dodge, then you'll have to hold the L1 button and move around with the left analog stick. If you want to block, you have to hold the R1 button and move the right analog stick to which ever area you are blocking. Then if you want to move you have to do that and move the left analog stick to move. It's not that big of a problem, but those who are not confident with the speed and agility of their fingers might come across a problem. The only other thing is that sometimes when punching with the right analog stick, your finger might slip off and come in contact with one of the face buttons, as that happened to me on a few occasions. I would throw a punch and then accidentally hit the square button, which would do a taunt. Definitely not something you want in that situation. But other than that, everything should be alright.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics are really good this year. There is a lot of definition in the characters bodies and the faces all look very realistic. If you are really into graphics, then Fight Night Round 2 definitely will not disappoint you.
Sound: 9/10
Thank God they took out Big Tigger from this year's version. They actually have a real boxing commentator in there, and boy is it a relief from last year. While the commentary isn't perfect in any sense of the word, it does sound very good and isn't too repetitive. The soundtrack is also very good, at least for fans of rap. There aren't too many songs, however, but the ones they do have are pretty good.
Career Mode: 9/10
This year's career mode is a whole lot better than last years. You start off as an amateur and you can either work your way up there, or immediately become a pro. Once you are a pro, you have a lot more choices of who you want to fight, and you can now move up or down in weight class, which is a much needed option. There are also challenges put into career mode which can earn you a lot more money as well as new gear. The challenges are just a boxing match where the rules are that a round doesn't end until somebody gets knocked down. There is a bigger emphasis put on earning money this year, since you have to buy your cutman, entrance music, ring girl etc. before every match you have. Each thing you buy, though, gives you an added boost in your match, and the more you have to pay, then the more of a boost it gives you. In addition to this, they've changed the training this year. Now there are only three options of training, and you get to pick which one you do before the fight. Each drill gives you bonuses in certain areas, and after you're done with them, not only do you get a stat bonus, you also get to see the affects on your boxer's physical appearance. This is a very nice addition to the game. Another thing that is changed to this year's career mode is that you have the option to retire at any point in time in your career. While this might not seem like much, it's a good addition which makes Fight Night Round 2 a very well-rounded game.
Overall: 9/10
Despite having no competition from any other boxing game, EA still managed to put out a great boxing game, even better than their previous effort. If you're looking for a boxing game, then you really have no choice but pick up this game, but you definitely will not be disappointed with this. Even if you're not a big boxing fan, you should consider getting this game, or at least giving it a rental. It is one that you should not pass up.

Soon you won't have to own an Apple iPhone or iPad to be a member of the Instagram app's growing photo-sharing community.
"We have two people working on Android now," Instagram co-founder and chief executive Kevin Systrom confirmed at the LeWeb conference in Paris. He didn't say when the work would be done. "I'm excited to be able to see our numbers today nearly double."
Google's Android mobile software now runs on more than 50 per cent of the world's smartphones, according to recent analyst reports.
As TheStreet.com reported in November – when the company only had six employees (they are hiring now), and 11-million users (reports are it's up to 14 million now) – Mr. Systrom has his sights set higher than just being a cute photo app beloved by hipsters for its 1970s-evoking colour filters.
"We're at 1 per cent of where we want to be," he said. "Talk to me again when we have 100 million users ... and even then I'm not sure if we will have made it. When you think about Facebook and their 800 million active users, there are huge opportunities in the world to do something big. We want to do that."
According to CNET, which first reported the story, Mr. Systrom believes the camera quality of the iPhone 4 is what propelled his company's growth.
"The screen and the camera on the iPhone 4 really was a turning point. It was really disruptive," Mr. Systrom said. "Somebody had to come along and take advantage of that disruption."
The company raised $7-million in February in its first round of funding from investors including Benchmark Capital, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo.
Instagram is free and has no plans to start charging users, though it's toying with the idea of premium services for brands, and there are rumours it is exploring adding video to the service. Charging 99 cents for filters, as other photo sharing apps have done, likely won't help the company achieve the scale it's looking for, Mr. Systrom said.
"We want to see Google-style revenue," he said. "I think the way to get there is to increase the network as fast as possible particularly because given how much competition there is these days."

"Beth Doe"
The grave site is shown of "Beth Doe," a woman whose dismembered remains were found in suitcases along the banks of the Lehigh River near White Haven on Dec. 20, 1976.AP photo
WHITE HAVEN — On Dec. 20, 1976, a teenager walking along the banks of the Lehigh River outside this Pocono Mountains town made a gruesome discovery: the dismembered remains of a young woman and her full-term fetus.
Thirty years later, police are no closer to finding her killer, primarily because they are still missing a crucial bit of information.
Her name.
Try as they might, authorities haven't come close to making an identification. And their prospects dim a little more with each passing year.
"It's as cold as cold can be, unfortunately," said Cpl. Thomas McAndrew, a state police detective who took over the case a year ago. "The killer's never been caught, and never will be until we find out who she is."
The woman was strangled, shot, dismembered and stuffed into three suitcases that were flung over a bridge along Interstate 80.
The killer was probably aiming for the Lehigh River, 300 feet below, but missed. Two of the suitcases broke open on impact, spilling the victim's head and torso and her female fetus. The third suitcase contained the woman's arms and legs. Her nose and ears had been cut off.
The coroner estimated she had been dead less than 24 hours.
The crime scene yielded a wealth of evidence, but little of it was useful. In addition to her remains, investigators had the suitcases, all of them the same size and missing their handles. Some body parts were wrapped in a rust-colored chenille bedspread; six soggy sections of the New York Sunday News covered her torso.
A series of letters and numbers, written in ink on the palm of her left hand, provided a tantalizing clue. But a police check of license plates and CB call signs turned up nothing.
"She haunts me, she really does," said Nancy Monahan, the Pennsylvania director of the Doe Network, a group of amateur sleuths that seeks to attach names to unidentified bodies. "I've had dreams about her."
Dreams, and questions, such as: How could a young woman, about to give birth, have simply vanished days or weeks before Christmas and no one reported her missing?
Was she someone on the margins of society — an illegal immigrant, perhaps?
Was her own family covering up for the killer, and that's why no one came forward?
And what about that writing on her hand?
At the White Haven Police Department, where an artist's conception of what the victim looked like hangs on a wall, Patrolman Thomas Szoke has his own theories about the case.
"My feeling is she is probably a runaway from another state and her family doesn't know what happened to her," he said. "Or she may have been a throwaway, where the parent says, 'You're 15, get out."'
The victim's family might have even filed a missing persons report, Szoke said, but such a report, if it exists, would likely be collecting dust in a police department file cabinet somewhere.
McAndrew said he would like to exhume the body to gather DNA samples, but the process is time-consuming and expensive. And while DNA samples can be run through FBI and missing persons databases, a match would be a long shot, given the time elapsed.
"DNA testing can be used in unidentified body cases, but it is not an important tool at this time because the number of people whose DNA is on record anywhere represents a very, very small percentage of the population," state police spokesman Jack Lewis said via e-mail.
The victim had previous dental work, and her fetus was healthy at the time of death, indicating the woman took care of herself and her unborn daughter.
For McAndrew, learning her identity would be a small way to give her some dignity.
"It's amazing that no one has identified her, that somebody out there isn't missing her," he said.
The victim and her fetus are buried in a paupers cemetery several miles from where the remains were found. The tomb is marked with a simple white cross and a small granite marker that says, "Beth Doe."
Which, unless there is a miraculous break in the case, is how history will remember her.

Monster Sunspot Threatens to Unleash Solar Flares
An enormous sunspot group has taken shape on the surface of the sun, hinting that our star may soon start spouting off some powerful storms.
The huge sunspot complex, known as AR 1476, rotated into Earth's view over the weekend. It measures more than 60,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) across, researchers said. Scientists with NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory mission, a space-based telescope watching the sun, dubbed the solar structure a "monster sunspot" in a Twitter announcement.
AR 1476 is big enough for amateur astronomers with decent equipment to spot from their backyards, weather permitting. (Warning: Never look at the sun directly with telescopes or the unaided eye. Special filters are required for safe solar viewing to avoid serious eye damage.)
"With at least four dark cores larger than Earth, AR 1476 sprawls more than 100,000 km from end to end, and makes an easy target for backyard solar telescopes," spaceweather.com reported this week.
Big solar flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), massive clouds of solar plasma that streak through space at 3 million mph (5 million kph) or more. If these clouds hit Earth, they can wreak havoc, spawning geomagnetic storms that can disrupt GPS signals, radio communications and power grids. CMEs also often super-charge the northern and southern lights, providing dazzling shows for skywatchers at high latitudes.
(More: Space Weather Can Cause Serious Problems)
Monday evening's eruption from AR 1471 apparently generated an Earth-directed CME, which should hit Earth sometime Wednesday morning (May 9) Eastern time, researchers said.
After remaining surprisingly quiet from 2005 through 2010, our star began waking up last year, spouting off numerous powerful flares and CMEs.
Most experts expect such outbursts to continue over the next year or so. Solar activity waxes and wanes on an 11-year cycle, and scientists think the current one — known as Solar Cycle 24 — will peak in 2013.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Infection by the single celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii is widespread in humans and in livestock. It causes mental retardation and loss of vision in congenitally infected children. Cats are the only hosts that excrete the environmentally resistant stage of T. gondii (oocyst). Although infection is common in cats, they rarely have clinical signs due to toxoplasmosis and most cases are diagnosed postmortem. Scientists at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the University of Minnesota report pneumonia in an adult cat due to toxoplasmosis confirmed antemortem. The clinicopathologic features discussed will be of interest to veterinarians.
Technical Abstract: Clinical toxoplasmosis is described in a 8 year old domestic cat. The cat had dyspnea and high fever (40.4 0C). Toxoplasma gondii-like tachyzoites were seen in needle aspirate of the lung. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining with anti-T. gondii polyclonal rabbit serum. The cat had no IgG antibodies in Toxo-IgG ELISA test.

The O'Brien Legislature needs stop telling New Hampshire businesses what they can and can't do at taxpayer expense.
Concord, NH - At a time when the New Hampshire legislature should be focusing on issues vital to our state like job creation and improving our education system, the House is again considering right-to-work legislation that has been rejected by the governor, the legislature, and the people of New Hampshire and that would interfere with small businesses and reduce the wages of working Granite Staters.
"As a business professor and small business owner, I am appalled that the legislature is again spending taxpayer dollars on their failed right-to-work legislation – legislation that would put bureaucrats and politicians between businesses and their employees," said Democratic candidate for governor Jackie Cilley. "What we should be striving for are policies that allow every worker to make their way into the middle class and to become the consumer that Main Street New Hampshire is looking for. The one ingredient for a successful business is consumers who have the willingness and the ability to buy from Main Street New Hampshire."
Cilley, who has taught at UNH's Whittemore School for Business for more than twenty years and currently runs a small business with her husband, cited a study published last year by Gordon Lafer of the Economic Policy Institute. This study concluded that "In states that have adopted RTW (right-to-work), annual wages and benefits are about $1,500 lower than for comparable workers in non-RTW states – for both union and nonunion workers – and the odds of getting health insurance or a pension through one's job are also lower." The report also pointed out that RTW has no impact at all on job growth - a conclusion of multiple statistical studies carried out by both the report's author and by other independent economists.
"We've seen a number of polls that demonstrate that the voters don't support right-to-work legislation, Governor Lynch has already vetoed legislation like this once and the House voted to sustain that veto in spite of Speaker O'Brien's arm-twisting," said Cilley, adding "They all realize we put into place such things as collective bargaining, minimum wage laws, worker safety programs, overtime rules, and worker compensation because we want our workers to fully participate in our economy and support small businesses. Our economy won't recover without them."

Extraordinarily fine churches can be found all over region
Pittsburgh has always been a city of fine churches.
We are unusual in having four in our region designed by Ralph Adams Cram of Boston, probably the most famous church architect of the 20th century. These are his Gothic-inspired East Liberty Presbyterian Church — which Cram considered his masterpiece; Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside; Holy Rosary Church in Homewood; and First Presbyterian Church in Greensburg.
Local architects have contributed many equally distinguished church buildings, too. Sacred Heart Church, by Pittsburgher Carlton Strong, with one of the longest and highest naves in town, sits quite comfortably across from Calvary Episcopal in a setting that is a little like a village green.
And the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission will soon erect one of its roadside historical markers in front of St. Agnes Center at Carlow University to commemorate John T. Comes, a Pittsburgh architect who designed dozens of major churches here and across the country in the early 1900s. It's believed to be only the second state historical marker honoring an individual architect.
These churches — and others — are justly famous, but there are extraordinarily fine churches in almost every neighborhood in our region.
So, with Christmas upon us, let's take a look today at four area churches, considering how the buildings shape feelings during worship — how they create spaces that are spiritual.
The four I've chosen are within three miles of each other on or near a stretch of Washington Road (Route 19), south of the city in Mt. Lebanon and Bethel Park.
Perhaps the best-known is St. Bernard Roman Catholic Church in Mt. Lebanon, which some call "the cathedral of the South Hills." It is one of three big churches clustered on one of that town's highest hills, and it was designed by William Perry of Dormont, who succeeded John Comes after he died.
It is spellbinding from the outside — an immense Romanesque mix of brown and red-brown stone, a multicolored tile roof and a massive bell tower. Inside, it illustrates well the humbling feeling — the awe — that you feel in large cathedrals everywhere. The scale is enormous. You can't take all of it in at once, and that's part of its effect and appeal.
As in all cathedral-like churches, there is a long nave and a high roof with imposing stone arches overhead. The central aisle leads to a large high altar eight steps up from the floor. As you walk down the aisle, you find yourself under the bell tower, where the interior ceiling is almost 80-feet high.
St. Bernard's is elaborately decorated — full of sculptures, mosaics, murals, stained glass and symbolism. The murals are by Jan Henryk De Rosen — who similarly painted murals at the National Cathedral in Washington and for the pope's private chapel in his summer residence at Castel Gondolfo in Italy.
The lavishness of the artwork, and the textures of the stone and rich marble throughout, create a setting for ritual and liturgy.
You won't find any of that, though, when you go down the street to Mt. Lebanon's First Church of Christ, Scientist. Here, the church has little in the way of decoration. Its much-smaller interior is restrained, intimate and serene. There is no altar at all, but rather a platform simply furnished with chairs and a large double-pulpit at the center front from which two readers conduct most of a service.
This is a Colonial-style church, and its simplicity is intended to emphasize the reading of scripture, rather that ritual or liturgy. Its windows are plain glass — slightly frosted to look antique — and the interior always has a feeling of bright openness.
Charles Draper Faulkner, a Chicago architect, designed this and some 140 other Christian Science churches around the country.
Both St. Bernard's and the Christian Science church are traditional, albeit in different ways. But churches in modern styles can be spiritual, too.
St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church on Fort Couch Road in Bethel Park (just off Route 19, across from South Hills Village mall) was among the first to be built in the 1960s after the Second Vatican Council. The council promoted bringing the altar and priests closer to the congregation.
As a result, this uncompromisingly modern church is octagonal in shape with the altar in the middle, thrust forward on a low platform only two steps high. Congregants practically surround it on three sides. Though it's a large church, nobody sits more than 14 rows away from the altar, giving a large congregation a strong sense of being a spiritual community.
The church is dramatic in structure with a central clerestory that washes the sanctuary with daylight. A two-story-high woodcut behind the altar shows an image of the risen Christ that gives the church an overall feeling of optimism.
A sense of community also is emphasized at the modernist Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church on Washington Road — but in a special way rarely seen elsewhere. The sacrament of communion is central to Lutheran worship, and, here, the communion rail is on all four sides of the altar, contributing to a strong feeling of togetherness as congregants gather facing each other for the sacrament.
Spirituality, of course, depends on the people, as any pastor will tell you. But churches have been designed with spaces that facilitate that spirituality for thousands of years — sometimes with great simplicity, sometimes with elaborate decoration or soaring structures — but always with feeling in mind.

It took Tony Sipp two rough outings before he settled in to his old form, but it appears the left-hander has found his groove.
Sure, Sipp is 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA since joining the Aeros July 17 while making his way back from Tommy John surgery. But he has allowed just one run over his last nine innings spanning his last seven appearances.
* Aeros catcher Wyatt Toregas' lead-off single in the eighth inning Tuesday snapped an 0-for-16 skid as he entered the home stand coming of a recent 2-for-17 (.118) road trip through Altoona and Trenton. After reaching safely, Toregas came around to score on Brandon Pinckney's single to break up Connecticut's shut-out bid.

text: As previously mentioned, Apple introduced the G5 Xserves today. Of interest, according to the Xserve Technical Overview PDF found on Apple's Xserve product page, the new systems utilize "single or dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 processors using 90-nanometer process technology". Up until this point, the PowerMac G5s have used 130nm PowerPC 970s. The new 90nm 970 PowerPC chips have reportedly been in production and more information should become available in February when IBM presents the 90nm PowerPCs at the 2004 ISSCC. While no PowerMac updates were announced today, readers are reminded that Apple has recently broken its pattern of releasing only at expos. Last year's January PowerMac revision came 2-3 weeks after MWSF. Indeed, PowerMacs are promised to reach 3GHz by late summer of 2004, which would place an interim update within the next couple of months.

St. Charles Parish Hospital, in collaboration with the St. Charles Parish Public School System, hosted three teacher interns from the School-to-Career Program over the summer.
The unique two-day program offered local educators an opportunity to get a better understanding of the healthcare environment. Among the subjects covered were various careers students may be interested in pursuing, as well as the schooling required, areas of academic strength needed for particular fields of study, salary ranges and the daily demands of various jobs.
The program began with a brief orientation followed by an informative tour of the hospital. On the second day of the internship, the teachers were able to interact closely with the different departments.
The first-hand experience should enable the participants to return to their classrooms and better educate students about particular jobs in the healthcare field, as well as enhance the material being taught in their classes with an application to healthcare-related professions.
The participants for this year's program were LeAnn Delatte, Amy DeLaune and LaWanna Davis from Destrehan High School.
|Jim Moses, director of Human Resources for St. Charles Parish Hospital, Donna Palahang, director of Volunteer Services for St. Charles Parish Hospital, LeAnn Delatte, Amy DeLaune, LaWanna Davis and Harriet Sanders.

Christ Church vision
Based on prayerful consideration of the church mission statement and parishioners' responses to a questionnaire this spring, the vestry has identified the following core values, along with some short-term objectives that spring from them. We welcome comment and ideas.
Worship and spiritual nurture are central to our church life.
Christian education - for all ages - is crucial.
Pastoral leadership is key to our mission.
We are called to serve, and in serving we bless and are blessed.
Our close-knit congregational feeling is a gift of God.
Spiritual growth is a higher priority than physical growth, but both must be monitored and provided for.

Seriously, best cruise ever.: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by JordanLovesCruisin
Overall Member Rating
Seriously, best cruise ever.
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Ship- I was a little nervous that we would get bored on a smaller ship than the Magic. Prior to the Magic we had sailed on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas, which is much bigger and had so many amenities. This was not the case. There was always something for us to do. The staff were constantly cleaning, painting, scrubbing, etc. It was a beautiful ship, very clean, and very well-maintained.
Room- We booked 3 weeks out and just did it on the cheap since airfare from OKC to MIA was $500+ per person. We were also worried that we would get claustrophobic not having a balcony, with an infant nonetheless. We booked an interior guarantee and was assigned 6432. This was also a misconception I had. We slept so good, the room had plenty of space to walk around (even with a More stroller) and space for my son to play on the floor with his toys. There was just as much closet space as we had on the Magic. Our room steward was Jolly and he was phenomenal! Plus, he was good with our baby. Meaning, he wasn't annoyed when Beckett spilled his formula powder all over the floor.
Entertainment- Holy moly, the entertainment was fantastic. Mike Pack, Roly, JJ, all of the entertainment crew were so amusing and enjoyable. Mike was ALL over the ship. Talking to everyone, assisting disabled passengers, joking with kids, etc. The shows we saw were the "Welcome Aboard Show", "Divas", "Hasbro the Game Show", and The Marriage Show. There was also a "Latin Nights" show that we didn't attend because baby boy wasn't having it.
Crew- Best. Crew. We. Have. Ever. Had. This was my tenth cruise and it was by far the best crew I have ever encountered. Very helpful, always smiling and friendly.
Food- Guys Burgers....oh my. I had 4. Not at once, but on day 1, 2, 4 and 6. It was like crack. But instead of making me crazy and skinny it made me nap and fat. Honestly, the food in the MDR was just eh, besides the WCMC, of course. And the cookies. Get in my belly. Lido buffet was also eh. We ate in the dining room most days for breakfast. No lines. Awesome service.
Ports- We went to Half Moon Cay and purchased a $20 clamshell to rent. It was beautiful. Not the clamshell, but the beach. Wednesday we went to St. Thomas and did the KonTiki, which we did on our honeymoon awhile back. Love that tour. In SJ, PR, we paid a guy $10 pp to take an AC bus to see the higlights of SJ. Well worth it. In Grand Turk we just drank it up at Margaritaville.
Embarkation- Got there at 11:30, was on the ship by 12:30. Easy breezy.
Debarkation- Easiest debark ever. Waited in custom's line for 3 minutes. Less

Docket Management
Docket: 97D-0318 - Revised Preventive Measures to Reduce Transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) by Blood
Comment Number: EC -8
Accepted - Volume 3
Comment Record
Dr. Mary Jo Drew
2001-09-21 12:55:28
Henry Ford Hospital Blood Bank
Health Professional
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
The recommendations in the docket rely upon calculated, theoretical risk of vCJD transmission, and have the potential to significantly reduce a blood donor base that is already shrinking for other reasons. Therefore, in the interest of maintaining an adequate blood supply, it would be appropriate for the agency to require an application for a variance from this recommendation in the event that a blood collection firm wishes to implement more stringent geographic donor deferrals (Section IX). Merely stating that firms should conduct pilot programs to assess donor loss, monitor donor loss and develop contingency plans to deal with this loss is not enough to ensure these steps take place. In addition, there is the likelihood of confusion among donors and institutions when multiple sets of deferral criteria exist, all slightly different. This alone may serve to put off donors from donating prior to even coming to the donor center. The situation as it currently stands gives the appearance of uncertainty and disunity in the blood community. The FDA should require firms wishing to implement more stringent donor deferrals to submit and have such plans approved under a variance prior to proceeding with them.

Turkey's parliament has authorised troops to launch cross-border action against Syria, following Syria's deadly shelling of a Turkish town.
The bill, passed by 320 to 129, also permits strikes against Syrian targets.
But Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay insisted this was a deterrent and not a mandate for war.
Turkey has been firing at targets inside Syria since Wednesday's shelling of the town of Akcakale, which killed two women and three children.
The Turkish parliament passed the bill in a closed-doors emergency session.

Sophocles' familial revenge play was updated in 1997 with a new translation by Frank McGuinness (who'd already done Ibsen and Brecht). In the first ten or fifteen minutes, this latest revival seems to walk on the stilts of ceremony, but it gains satisfying power once the two chief adversaries come to meet: Michelle Hand, in the title role, forges her character in brighter and brighter fires after her first face-off with Nancy Lewis as Clytemnestra. Above all, I think it is Ms. Lewis' regal (faintly swaggering) Greek queen that goads Ms. Hand into a maddened fury. The older woman's crocodile tears over her husband's death are a frightening blend of sobs and wicked chuckling, the cleverness of which makes her a daunting opponent.
To recap from Theatre 101, Electra plots revenge on Clytemnestra and her new husband, Aegisthus, for the murder of her father, Agamemnon. Electra's brother, Orestes, makes a comeback from exile for similar reasons, with a plot twist or two along the way. Brendan Allred, as Orestes, registers strength and goodness, with a fine Greek handsomeness (costumes by Amy Leone). Robert Ashton is Aegisthus, wary and chilly in the final moments, as he makes his way to a blood red curtain, up-center.
Joe Koerner, as Orestes' tutor, opens the story with an ancient chant, as Mr. Allred holds a grimacing mask over his face. Later, Mr. Koerner's account of Orestes' demise is thrilling and terrible. I was warned more than once that the production was marked with a modern style, but I was perfectly content that I was seeing a pretty authentic updating. The stage is a web of tilting pillars, implied by high-tension wires, and more wires like suspension bridges, stretched to their limits, foretelling of ruin.
Director Steve Callahan (who also designed the set) reveals a flair for tableaux, involving the chorus of servants to Electra (Julie Stockhausen, Jill Ritter, and Jea Hyun Rhyu). The foursome clusters here and there, in uphill or downhill slopes of mournful black robes on jagged steps. Mr. Callahan pits mother and daughter against one another like darting cobras, and enlivens mystical prayers and tales of heroic chariot racing with compelling background music. The stylized poses of his cast become indelible when accompanied by various musical recordings (sound design by Chuck Lavazzi).
Ms. Hand's finest moments in a demanding and satisfying portrayal include her tribute to her younger brother, pouring his ashes over her own head, and later blowing a small cloud of that silvery dust forward, just shy of the front row. She pays very good attention to the meaning of her lines, which are born of burning passion. As her sister, Karen Palmer brings a dash of mental health to the proceedings, even as Electra tries to inveigle Chrysothemis into matricide.
Ms. Lewis, as Clytemnestra, is deliciously patronizing toward her aggrieved daughter, and the Apollo of her prayers. A slight simpering as she lists her catalog of woes puts things into sharp focus for the viewer. And as they say, a melodrama is only as good as its villain. This Electra proves the rule in Ms. Lewis' luxuriating performance.
Electra runs through February 13 at The West End Players' Guild, Union Avenue Christian Church in the Central West End. For more information, call (314) 367-0025 or visit www.westendplayers.org. The show runs about 100 minutes in length.

Kokomo police investigate Village Pantry robbery
Police in Kokomo are investigating a robbery at a convenience store Sunday night.
Officers say a clerk at the Village Pantry at 2021 S. Goyer Road reported a strong arm robbery around 9:20 p.m. Monday.
The employee told police two white individuals entered the store and locked the front door behind them. One of the suspects demanded money from the register as the other entered the store's office and took an undisclosed amount of money. After taking the money, the suspects fled on foot.
Police say no weapons were shown during the robbery. One of the suspects was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, the other was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sergeant Jon Webster at (765) 456-7233, or the Kokomo Police Department Hotline at (765) 456-7017. You may qualify for a cash reward by calling Central Indiana Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS with your anonymous tip.
