The new patriarch had previously borne a fair character, but his exaltation revealed a spirit at once tyrannous and sensual.
But the War brought to an end the bad old days of a tyrannous minority.
To me, owing to some mysterious change that I cannot explain, the clock had ceased to be a tyrannous and hateful monster.
You could not call it thinking, this possession of her mind by one tyrannous idea.
tyrannous exaction brings on servile concealment; and that again calls forth tyrannous coercion.
All asperity and tyrannous rudeness is held to be out of place.
Few women venture to be democrats; the attitude of democratic champion is scarcely compatible with tyrannous feminine sway.
It is the impending judgment of the tyrannous rich that is primarily in his mind.
Let me give you one or two instances of the course pursued by this tyrannous newspaper.
The scary rabbit is an impetuous, tyrannous and jealous lover.

Everlasting Victory: 'Chariots of Fire'
7 Aug 2012 // 6:10 PM
The film feels more like a character study than an Oscar candidate, but still, Chariots of Fire delivers a story that remains poignant today.
Time For a New 'Revolution'? 'Revolution: The Director's Cut'
22 Jul 2012 // 6:05 PM
A new director's cut of Revolution does little to challenge the idea that the film was always a grand, confusing and undisciplined vision out of control.

After months of training, Leo Verde woke up April 15, 2013, in Boston to just the kind of day he'd hoped for. The weather was beautiful and the temperature was in the 40s, lovely cool weather in which to run 26 miles.
"It was always a dream of mine to run Boston," Baton Rouge resident Verde said of last year's marathon. "Boston. It's something about that romanticism about Boston. The history."
At the age of 49, he knew he was too old to make the qualifying time. So, he raised $35,000 for a local cystic fibrosis organization, getting him into the prestigious race.
"It was a dream come true," he said.
Although they had trained together, Verde said, this was the first race he would be running without his fiancée, Laure Stoma. Instead, she would wait for him at the finish line.
Verde was aiming for a time of under four hours, and as he turned onto the last street before the finish line, he was close.
"When I made the turn, I saw the first bomb go off."
The blast was about a half-mile away. Maybe it was a celebration cannon for someone who crossed the finish line, he thought.
"It was such a weird sight, feeling and sound," he said. "It didn't sound like a bomb."
He kept running.
"I didn't really think anything of it. Then in a 10-second delay, the second bomb went off in front of me," he said. "Now that one was close."
Only about 100 yards away, the second bomb sent smoke and heat toward Verde, who stopped in his tracks.
"I knew it was terrorism. I knew it was a bomb."
For what seemed like an eternity, Verde stood in the enveloping smoke before he just started walking toward the finish line. His run was over.
"I could hear people screaming. People hollering."
At 1:54 p.m., he crossed the finish line, just four minutes after the bombs had exploded, and he looked for Stoma, who was supposed to be waiting for him.
The blast had thrown barricades into the street and people were scrambling to help those who were injured. Three people died as a result of the bombs.
Still standing at the finish line was Stoma. She was unhurt.
"We embraced for what seemed like an eternity," Verde said.
He was interviewed by a local television station, and it wasn't until he watched the broadcast that he could see people being cared for near him. He doesn't remember seeing any of that at the time.
"Everything was just very surreal," he said.
What has stuck with him for the past year is what the finish line was not.
"The finish line of a marathon is one of the most incredible areas of sport," he said. People you would never think would finish a marathon are crossing off the accomplishment and there's cheering, elation and a general feeling of a community of runners. This was different.
"I remember walking away from the interview, away from the finish line and not seeing a single soul," he said. "It was deserted. That was one image I've played back over and over."
This year will be different as Verde, this time joined by Stoma, will race again in the Boston Marathon, scheduled for Monday.
"After everything that happened, we swore we would never run another race without each other," he said.
Every runner who didn't finish last year was invited back, but Verde again needed to raise money for a charity to get the go-ahead. It was difficult to find a charity since so many people wanted to run the marathon this year, and he got turned down by four or five before the American Liver Foundation agreed. He raised $8,000 for the organization.
Verde said he's not worried about returning to Boston, but it's clear in information sent out by race organizers and others that some runners are experiencing anxiety.
Before race day, Verde said, he plans to make an early stop at the finish line location and the two areas where the bombs exploded to pay his respects.
And, as he runs this year's marathon, he will be carrying the race completion medal he received last year. Having never worn that medal before, he plans to put it around his neck as soon as he crosses the finish line.
"I think it will bring closure to my 2013 experience."

Television series are like visual Cliff Notes when it comes to romance. In the span of a half hour or an hour, each episode must hit emotional high notes that romance novel builds up to in 300+ pages. Naturally, since TV is a visual medium, clothes are the easiest ways to hit these notes. Sometimes the cues are subtle: In the series, Justified, for example, Marshall Raylan Givens, wears an off-white Stetson—the first sign that this good guy might not be quite so good. He also wears the dark colors that are the uniform of the bad boy, usually an elegantly tailored sport coat, paired with jeans. This combination signals to the viewer that while Raylan has gained a veneer of sophistication during his time away from his hardscrabble Kentucky home, at heart, he's still a rough and tumble cowboy.
Some visual cues are even more obvious. Dyson in Lost Girl favors black shirts and a dark blue and black vest with his jeans. (That is, when he's not half, or completely, naked.) Occasionally, he tosses on a leather jacket. No doubt about it, black makes a bad boy even badder and when it's black leather…rowwrrr. (If you doubt me, Google Richard Armitage and Guy of Gisborne. Or Richard Armitage and black leather. In fact, there are entire websites devoted to evolution of the 6'2 blue-eyed, black-haired actor's leather costume in the BBC's Robin Hood series.)

Recently on Offworld we've already played what'll probably be this week's best indie development, Terry Cavanagh & Stephen Lavelle's Judith, a short game of shifting narratives and timelines that peels itself back one layer at a time and gives you subtle clues to your next move with each consecutive shift. If you've only got one hour for an indie game this week, give it to Judith (it even, graciously, comes in Mac and Linux flavors).
We also took a look back at the most practical of this GDC's Pecha-Kucha-esque microtalks, with Boom Blox producer Robin Hunicke imagining six easy steps to help fix PlayStation Home, or rather, provide it with more engaging possibilities for play (we concur with all six).
Elsewhere we saw excellent custom toy work with a bits and bobs Bioshock Big Daddy doll and hand-sculpted Grim Fandango figurines from Tim Schafer's LucasArts swan song adventure, and fantastic new fineries with the Gaming Revolution T-shirt (above) and the WiiExploded shirt (from the same people behind the exploded Atari 2600 and iPhone).
Finally, we saw lush greenery coming to the barren landscape of Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5's versus mode in real life, curious character choices made for the officially licensed Super Mario Bros chessboard, a new album made entirely on handheld synth Korg DS-10, saw Q-games' beautiful Pixeljunk Eden Encore in motion, and, most wonderfully, watched demoscene compo winners RGBA & TBC create gorgeous landscapes in just 4K of code.

ST. LOUIS -- Kip Wells, a bust as a starter earlier this
year, will get another chance for the St. Louis Cardinals the first
game after the All-Star break.
Kip Wells
Starting Pitcher
St. Louis Cardinals
Wells' 3-11 record and 5.92 ERA remain unsightly, but the
right-hander lowered his ERA more than a point and picked up a
victory after being sent to the bullpen in mid-June. In four
appearances and a spot start he allowed only two runs in 16
"I think he's found better command and life on his fastball
down in the zone," manager Tony La Russa said.
The reinstatement of Wells, a $4 million free agent pickup in
the offseason, means Todd Wellemeyer (3-1, 4.19) returns to the
bullpen. Wellemeyer threw five scoreless innings in a 7-0 victory
over Barry Zito and the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, and the
Cardinals are 7-1 in his eight starts.
Mike Maroth (0-1, 4.11) and Adam Wainwright (7-7, 4.66) also are
scheduled to pitch in a three-game series in Philadelphia that
begins on Friday, with Braden Looper (6-7, 4.72) and Brad Thompson
(6-3, 4.90) working the first two games of a three-game set in
Florida after that.
La Russa said informing Wellemeyer after the game was "probably
the toughest decision" of the first half.
"Look at our record on the day he pitches," La Russa said.
"It's remarkable. To tell him he's going to be in the bullpen is a
really tough call."
Wellemeyer didn't seem to mind much. He assumed he'd be back in
relief eventually, with ace Chris Carpenter making his second rehab
start on Sunday and Mark Mulder slowly gearing up for a return. The
Cardinals had also considered moving Thompson back to the bullpen.
"I knew I was going to end up in the bullpen eventually," said
Wellemeyer, a waiver wire pickup from the Royals in mid-May. "I've
got my confidence up and it should be an interesting second half."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/10/2009 (2838 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG - It is rare to use the words cabinet minister and outsider in the same sentence.
But Steve Ashton, who could be Manitoba's new premier if he is elected by his party's delegates Saturday, has been both. Ashton, 53, has spent more than half his life as a member of the legislature. He has held a variety of cabinet posts since the NDP took power in 1999, including transportation, water stewardship and emergency measures. He received praise for helping municipalities last spring deal with one of the worst floods in the province's history.
And yet, when he decided several weeks ago to run for the NDP leadership, none of his cabinet colleagues backed him. He would not say why.
"For me, it's not really the relevant question. Do you have support from New Democrats and Manitobans (is relevant)," Ashton said in a recent radio interview.
Ashton has always had a reputation as a lone wolf. He frequently speaks off the cuff and has sometimes mused rather openly about policy ideas.
As conservation minister, he once told reporters he was thinking of putting a recycling levy on electronic equipment. The idea was quickly shot down by Premier Gary Doer, who steps down Saturday to become Canada's ambassador to the United States.
His supporters say Ashton has always had his eye on the premier's chair, and that may have rubbed other caucus members the wrong way.
"A lot of people say he's not a team player," said Tom Nevakshonoff, one of several backbenchers who support Ashton's leadership bid. "Well, maybe that's because he's been a leader-in-waiting and he has always offered an alternative course of action within our caucus."
Ashton is expected to tilt the NDP away from the centre of the political spectrum - where Doer carefully positioned the party to win three successive majorities - toward the left. He has promised new union-friendly laws, including a ban on replacement workers during strikes and lockouts, and new money for social programs and rapid transit.
He has also promised to bring back a controversial freeze on post-secondary tuition, which started in 1999 but ended in September. Students say the freeze is needed to keep Manitoba's rates among the lowest in the country. University administrators, however, complain the freeze has deprived them of much-needed money.
Ashton's interest in labour politics came early. He was born in England but moved to the northern mining city of Thompson, Man., as a child with his family. As a university student working in the local Inco mine, he found himself on the picket line.
"One of the things I saw is the degree to which no one wants to be on a picket line," Ashton said. "For me, it's really important to work to resolve labour disputes when they do occur and make sure that people don't have to be on a picket line."
He served as president of the University of Manitoba students' union in 1978 and 1979, and showed a definite passion for politics. His political science professor, Paul Thomas, remembers Ashton becoming so worked up while debating an issue one day, he had to walk out of the classroom.
"Ashton felt he was either outnumbered or outwitted and he was upset by it."
Ashton was elected to the legislature in 1981 and has been re-elected ever since, making him the longest-serving current legislature member.
He gained a profile in 1996, when the Progressive Conservative government pushed through a law to privatize the Crown-owned telephone utility, Manitoba Telephone System. The legislature erupted into chaos as the government changed procedural rules to pass the bill over protest from the opposition.
At one point, when legislature Speaker Louise Dacquay refused to let the opposition speak, Ashton stood in front of her and accused her of "destroying this legislature."
Ashton was appointed to cabinet when the NDP took power in 1999. He has never served in the big portfolios of justice, health or education, but spent time in most of the smaller departments.
While most of the NDP establishment is backing his opponent, Greg Selinger, Ashton has worked the grassroots. He has reached out to students and the labour movement and, more importantly, signed up thousands of new party members by appealing to immigrants.
"That was a key theme for (former NDP premier) Ed Schreyer in 1969. He brought Ukrainian, German, francophone, Metis and Jewish communities into the political structures. They were represented in cabinet, in caucus," he said.
"I want to do much the same for Manitoba in 2009."
Ashton's political bent appears to run in the family. His daughter, Niki, is the NDP member of Parliament for the riding of Churchill. Ashton and his wife, Hari, also have a son, Alexander, who is studying engineering.

What would it be like if we really remembered Martin Luther King and honored his memory?
Would we think about the advances he and his supporters made in civil and human rights? Would we work to preserve and expand them?
Or would we talk about "socialism" and "reparations" and all the other buzzwords cynical political pundits and politicians deploy to scare white people into thinking our (half) black president is going to take from them to give to those "others"?
Would we remember MLK's passionate opposition to the Vietnam war that inspired millions to protest and bring that unjust war to an end? Would we rededicate ourselves to his vision of a just and peaceful world?
Or would we just turn on the TV, turn off our conscience, and forget about the suffering our nation has both caused and endured as a result of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Would we reflect on how MLK died in Memphis while defending the right of public sanitation workers to rise from the ranks of the working poor by organizing and striking for better pay and conditions? Would we honor the laws that give workers the right to do this?
Or would we fall into the trap of maligning hardworking people and their unions, as if they—not corporate and political greed and corruption—caused our financial woes?
As the nation undergoes a self-examination and dialogue in the wake of last week's shooting in Tucson, let's remember that MLK, too, was gunned down in the midst of turbulent and violent times. Let's honor his sacrifice by striving for a better society where understanding and compassion prevail and acts of senseless violence such as this never happen again.
To some, that may be just an impossible dream. But to King, a dream was the beginning and the impetus toward a better future for us all:
Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" Speech, August 28, 1963, at the March on Washington.
We honor and miss you, Martin. Your dream lives on.

Re: Love is deceptive frequency created by the illuminati aliens, a serious computation (can you handle the truth)
There is no line or distance between love and hate. It is the same emotion, just presented differently. You yell and scream at someone and cuss them out because you WANT them to see a better way; that is love. Indifference is when you just walk away without any emotion whatsoever.
Were I to kill someone in the line of defense for my family, would one consider it love or hate? I hate anyone trying to come between me and my family so much as to kill him, or, I love my family so much, I will put my own life in jeopardy to defend them by whatever means necessary.
Love and hate are yin and yang. A single coin with two sides.
Life would be so much easier without emotions altogether, but then it would be nothing but instinct. With nothing but instinct, there would be no understanding of love/hate.
That is what separates us from the ants, whether good or bad.

Re: Love is deceptive frequency created by the illuminati aliens, a serious computation (can you handle the truth)
It's very effective when you are down about yourself, as you want to hear things that lift you up, give you back security at any whim, as you remember your self worth once again (how'd you forget it to begin with?)Quoting: Gunnz, Lotz Of Gunnz 1478538
As if suddenly there is a reason to live! (because somehow there was never any reason for the universe or anything to exist and it was all pointless)
Going through life never finding a lover can send someone into a "hate of self" mode. Another emotion that clouds the minds functioning. (drown yourself in alcohol to numb the pain, and it becomes addictive through the effect).
As soon as those types do think they found it, it will be an overwhelming sensation, the hearts a robotic piece of meat and is affected by many chemicals and emotions,
"but the thing is, it's a sensation you are unfamiliar and inexperienced with, and can render the most robust of humans automated."
As the emotional thinking clouds the minds logic calculating, the "rollercoaster ride" kicks in and your carried along with it, thinking it's the best ride of your life.
No ones ever in control of a rollercoaster ride, as the track is already laid out and planned.
Your taken through some boring parts, like the slow climb up, the straight predictable areas, the small speed inhibitors.
Then the ride hits the zippy zabulous thrilling parts.
But they only last a few seconds. A great sensation, but as the ride travels up to the end, you dont want that, and you want the rollercoaster to keep going past the end and start it once more.
Now it's become an addiction. So what you thought was something with substance and divine, ends up being an emotional addictive stimulant.
Couples are "addicted" to each other from the emotional stimulating, and mistake this for love. (easy to do as lust has the exact same effect).
It's a pure entrapment in the form of the rebirth cycle,
[link to jackitjackson.tumblr.com]
Easy to fall victim too.
Earth is in a very secluded dark part of the Galaxy, a quarantine if you will, so far away from everything. Were floating around with dead planets, asteroids, ice chunks and space junk. It's very easy to mistake something divine when it is packaged in a formula based on "sell you something that benefits us more than it benefits you"
Be very cautious about love.
Wow, you've been hurt huh? Love is all we have that is good. Nothing else is worth it. Love of this or that. You don't have it, and you feel unworthy of anything.
You either NEED a hobby you can love, or someone you love.
I found my love 23 years ago. It's NOT addicting, as we are well past that part of the mind altering 'love drug". But are very glad we found each other. You obviously have not found this. I feel sorry for you then...
I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief...

 My sincerest apologies for the delay, I've spent the last 3 weeks travelling.

I haven't heard from Scott, I think you might misunderstand me, as while I am a reprap geek who loves noisebridge, I am no longer located in San Francisco so unfortunately will be unable to meet you there to work on this for at least several months (our current itinerary has us returning to the Bay Area in early September).

ĀI would still be interested in speaking with you or Scott, and conveying some of my wisdom and experience on the matter verbally, but unfortunately in person support/work is essentially out of the question.

I've CCed Elija, who is a young Noisebridge Rep Rap Geek whose I believe is in a better position to provide assistance to you given your location. ĀAlso, I'm more than happy to give you a call at your convenience today (please simply provide a phone number). ĀI'm sure we can get you moving forward in any case.

Sincerely,

 Apparently I've been put in charge of this project, and so now I need to start coordinating this, and figuring out where everything has been left.

 I'm going to be at Noisebridge tonight, it'd be great if you were there too in order to start sorting this out.

 Thanx!

 Hey Akien,

I'm a NBer who is currently out of town building mendel Prusa's in Atlanta right now for Occupy Atlanta.

Most energy these days is towards derivatives of the Rep Rap Mendel, they're simple, fast, easy to build extrusion machines. ĀWe're working on a 2.5x factor scaling in the next few months, with a goal of 300mmx300mmx500mm by next summer. Airfoils and body-scale structures are the intended goals.

Out of town at the moment, but I'd love to talk to your friend if he'd like,

While I'm still very new to Noisebridge, when he told me what he was looking for, Noisebridge immediately came to mind.

Could be an opportunity. Anybody want to be put in touch with him?

|Additional Information:
|This article is a response to the publication in 2007 of the Civitas pamphlet Corruption of the Curriculum. The author of the Geography chapter, Alex Standish, has written articles and a full length book criticising school geography's place regarding the 'new agendas' of global citizenship and others. Whilst agreeing with some points we have been disappointed with the quality of Standish's writings and wished to open up the debate more fully. We are profoundly suspicious of the apparent wish to return to some kind of 'pure' school knowledge. Standish is, by all account, 'well in with' the Tory education team and I have debated aspects of this matter with him on the Today Programme, the GA annual meeting etc – as well as with Nick Gibb directly.

What do they really think of children with SEN and their families?
A busy weekend on social media has thrown an unwelcome light on the attitudes of a solicitors' firm regularly instructed by local authorities in SENDIST tribunals, Baker Small. However, whilst it is rare to see anything so overt, for many of us the events of the last weekend have merely confirmed what we already knew.
Problems started with an initial Tweet saying:
Great ABA Trib win this week … interesting to see how parents continue to persist with it. Funny thing is parents think they won ;)
That Tweet on its own was bad enough. In effect the firm was poking fun at the parents for being so naïve as to think they had done something that would help their child. It would be inappropriate for any solicitor to post a gloating, triumphalist tweet of this nature; but when it is directed at the family of a vulnerable child, it tips over into the offensively unprofessional. ...

To understand autism, don't look away

How a parent held her council to account for its SEND failures
What can a parent do when an LA has failed in its legal responsibilities? One parent wasn't about to take her local authority's unacceptable delay in conducting an assessment for an Education, Health and Care Plan go without challenge. SOS!SEN and Eleanor Wright are featured in the article on the Special Needs Jungle website.
Congratulations Marion!
Bob Parslow - Co-Founder of SOS!SEN
Bob celebrated his 90th Birthday recently, so we thought we'd put the spotlight on him and let everyone know a bit more about how he came to SOS!SEN.
Bob has been honing his teaching skills for a very long time. We learned from his sisters that during his wartime Fleet Air Arm training he would pass his knowledge on to them when home on leave – they were the only children in the street to have been schooled in semaphore and flying techniques! Bob's formal teaching career was spent primarily at Brunel University where he lectured in mathematics and the then emerging subject of Computer Science.
As part of his interest in computer graphics (another area which he pioneered), Bob discovered 3-D blindness and worked hard to help people develop counteract it – notnot only helping students to work visually, but also saving the lives of people parking on the motorway hard shoulder through the Parslow Parking Procedure he devised. This is just one example of Bob's life-long interest in problem-solving techniques.
Bob was a Lib Dem councillor for Richmond-upon-Thames when he got involved in the fight against the closure of Oldfield House BED School. Despite the best efforts of all involved, that fight was lost, but it had drawn Bob in to providing advice for the parents affected by the closure. With Marion Strudwick (his partner of over 20 years) and Martin Dean, Bob set up SOS!SEN and has continued to be a stalwart in the charity. He continues to solve problems and provides advice to volunteers and trustees, as well as the parents and children we support.
When he isn't busy with SOS!SEN, Bob's hobby is saiing.
*Thank You Volunteers*
We wanted to say a big thank you to all of our helpline, advice centre and office volunteers at SOS!SEN. We rely on you all and we are very grateful for the time that you regularly give to help other parents with children with special educational needs.

Unfair and inefficient communication tactics from some LA representatives
We are receiving a heavy number of calls from people who have appealed to the SENDIST and are worried because they are often not receiving information from local authorities and their representatives in a form they can readily download. Some have even missed out on the opportunity to oppose Requests for Changes from LAs because they had no idea that a document had been copied to them! This has severely prejudiced the conduct of their case. Even where a LA has informed them that a document has been sent, there is still a problem because of the complexity of the measures needed to download it.
Some LA lawyers are refusing to send information out to parents on anything but such methods, even though they know that SENDIST itself refuses to accept documents transferred by such systems. These strategies are totally unacceptable, go far beyond password protection, and parents need to beware.
The problem often lies with the use of external websites such as Egress that may be used internally within some LAs, but are extremely cumbersome and complex for many of us to use. The reason for using such methods is pretty obvious and not nice.
So what is to be done?
The matter is being taken up by a number of organisations, but our initial advice is to follow the Tribunal regulation below:
Sending and delivery of documents (a) 13 (3): If a party informs the Tribunal and all other parties that a particular form of communication, other than pre-paid post or delivery by hand, should not be used to provide documents to that party, that form of communication must not be so used.
In other words, inform the Tribunal and the LA that you do not wish to receive a particular form of communication. If the LA continues to try it on, then inform Tribunal with a copy to the LA concerned. Complain most strongly. Generally, of course, straightforward use of emails and PDFs etc. is fine.
NEW! Document Check and Drafting of Documents Service
Due to parental demand, SOS!SEN are pleased to announce their new document check and drafting of documents services for parents/carers. We still believe that it is most important that parents should take full ownership of their appeals but recognise that the option of having a document initially drafted maybe a soloution for those who are too busy to carry out all the work involved. Fees for these services can be found here.
Please note in very exceptional cases a SOS!SEN volunteer can take over a case for a parent and there is no charge for any work.
This service can only be offered to those who details are registered with us via previous and detailed discussion of their cases with the helpline, advice centres, 1:1 appointments, or our hands on workshops.
Expressions of interest for this service and a form for this service can be found here.
Urgent advice for parents going to Tribunal
We are receiving worried calls from parents concerning less that ethically professional tactics being used by some LAs and their tribunal officers or legal representatives. Click here to see the details and find out what we advise you to do.
Research into the Special Educational Needs Tribunal
We are now pleased to publish our Report on Parent Experiences of the SEND Tribunal. It makes interesting and, often, worrying reading. Click here for the full Report. The Tribunals Service has responded in detail; you can read their letter here. We will be undertaking some further research in the future to get parental views on some specific topics.
SOS!SEN Welcomes its new Co-ordinator - Eleanor Wright
We at SOS!SEN are all absolutely thrilled Eleanor is taking up this post. She will be with us full-time from late February.
Eleanor is a solicitor who has been specialising in Education Law for 18 years and has particular experience in cases involving SEN and disability, including social care issues. She has been named for several years in Tier 1 of Education Law solocitors in Legal 500 and Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession, and leaves a nationally respected firm Maxwell Gillott (also ranked no.1 in Chambers and Legal 500) where she has been a partner.
Eleanor has long experience of working in legal aid for education and has been involved in many of the leading cases on SEN and disability law. She has been a school governor for over 20 years, has a long involvement with the Dyslexia Association and experience of sitting on and chairing school admissions and exclusion panels. She has been involved in a number of advice centres, workshops and training sessions with SOS!SEN for many years.
"I am absolutely delighted to have been appointed as Marion Strudwick's successor. What the charity has achieved during her time as Co-ordinator is absolutely awe-inspiring. It will be quite a challenge to continue and develop the work, but I really relish the opportunity at a time when there have been major changes in SEN law and when children with SEN and disabilities and their families need more support than ever to secure their legal entitlement at a time of funding cuts. I am really looking forward to beginning work with SOS!SEN, particularly working with the wonderful and committed volunteers, parents, professionals and others already associated with the organisation."
Marion Strudwick retires as SOS!SEN Co-ordinator
At the start of 2015, and after nearly 14 years in the post, Marion Strudwick will stand down as Co-ordinator for SOS!SEN. One of the founders in 2001, Marion has headed as a full-time plus volunteer the education and training side of the charity's work and carried out the lion's share of SEN Tribunal representation for parents. Of her work, she says, "I've learnt so much!"
SOS!SEN started life in the front room of the home of Bob Parslow and Marion in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames following a decision by the LA to close Oldfield House, a much needed special school for children with behavioural and emotional difficulties. So totally blinkered and undemocratic was the behaviour of the LA, that a group of parents, governors, and professionals decided that although they might not win the battle to retain the school, they could make sure that every parent in Richmond had the chance to get help and advice: "We read up the 1996 Education Act, the Code of Practice, networked a range of professionals for help and advice, and set up a Helpline in 2002".
Quickly the word spread and SOS!SEN now has over 30 volunteers advising on the Helpline, at the Advice Centres and working closely with many parents on a case by case basis to help empower them to fight for their children's education rights. SOS!SEN is about to relocate to a much easier office to reach and is seeking to expand further its help to parents. "This has been the most interesting work I have ever done in education and it has been great to work with so many committed and wonderful parents."
Nonetheless, SEN legislation has changed and there are crucial years ahead to protect children's rights. SOS!SEN is now a very busy national organisation and it is a good time for change and for a greater legal input to be provided. Marion's successor has been appointed and will be named in the New Year. WATCH THIS SPACE! Everyone at SOS!SEN is thrilled at the new appointment and know it will take the charity to a higher level of national awareness and yet retain the friendly and individual case approach still to be headed by the volunteers.
Marion will stay on as a volunteer and looks forward to working in any way the new Co-ordinator thinks will be useful to SOS!SEN. "I have loved every minute of the work and have made so many friends amongst my colleague volunteers, parents, and professionals. It is wonderful to find that so many parents are now volunteering to help others and with that caring attitude it is certain that SOS!SEN will go from strength to strength. Thank you to everyone who has helped to bring SOS!SEN to where it is today and to all those who will take it further."
Everyone at the SOS!SEN team would like to say a huge thank you to Marion for all her hard work and dedication.
"Thank you for always being at the end of the phone to help. Your advice has been invaluable and pivotal in making me realise that as a parent I AM NOT POWERLESS. Thank you!" Parental comment - 2014.

Southern Violence : Police fill 150-officer quota by deadline
Police fill 150-officer quota by deadline
Jan 4th, 2013
A total of 150 police officers have been recruited to work in the three southernmost provinces, filling a quota sought by the Royal Thai Police Office.
Three middle ranking police investigators under the Metropolitan Police Bureau share their happiness after being recruited to work in the southernmost provinces. A total of 150 police officers have been recruited to work in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
Of the 150, only three were selected through the drawing of lots, carried out by the Police Region 8 Bureau.
The others have volunteered to serve in the conflict-ridden zone, said Pol Gen Chatchawal Suksomjit, a senior adviser responsible for the selection.
The Royal Thai Police recently announced plans to recruit 150 investigators to work in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat. Out of concerns the required number would not be met, it had introduced a policy of randomly selecting officers by drawing lots. However, thanks to a surge of volunteers before yesterday's deadline, the office did not have to resort to the drawing of lots as much as it expected.
The officers are likely to be deployed by next Thursday.
In Bangkok, 13 police officers attached to the MPB yesterday applied to work in the South, bringing the total number of applicants from the bureau to 23.
On Dec 28 last year, 10 police officers in Bangkok applied for the posting and their applications were accepted.
Because the applicants from Bangkok exceeded the number required from the MPB, a lot was drawn to select only nine of the 13 who volunteered yesterday.
Pol Lt Col Rianchai Laotee, of Bang Chan police station, said he had served in the city for a while and it was time for a change.
"I want to get first-hand experience there. I've only heard about the situation in the South from the media and I want to know how it is," he said.
Bangkok police chief Khamronwit Thoopkrachang said the posting is of great significance because it is critical for national security.
"We want skilled investigators there, especially in security-related cases, so we can bring culprits to justice," he said.
Pol Lt Gen Khamronwit also thanked the city police for demonstrating their dedication to the job by volunteering, which saved the MPB from being disgraced.
The policy of selecting the investigators by drawing lots caused an uproar among some officers who described the method as unfair. They threatened to go to the Administrative Court over the issue.
"The situation isn't as bad as thought. You will need time to adapt. Don't be terrified," Pol Lt Gen Khamronwit said.
"If I have a chance, I'd love to go back and serve there." The officers who lodged a petition against the policy will face a disciplinary investigation.

Bet265 related poker article - fourth street
Here's a very common situation on fourth street. You have a real bet635 hand, and you think it's probably the best hand right now. You think your bet465 opponent is on a drawing hand. If he makes the bet265 hand he's drawing to, he'll beat you. What should you do? What should he do?
The first bet635 point to notice is a simple one: If you suspect that you're up against a drawing bet465 hand, you must bet on fourth street. not on fifth street. Checking on fourth street and bet265 betting on fifth street is a huge error. By checking, you've given your bet635 opponent a free card to beat you, which is one of the worst blunders you can make in bet465 poker. But almost as important is the fact that if you wait until fifth street to act, your opponent will know if he made his bet265 hand or not. If he didn't make it, he won't call your bet. So you can make money only on fourth street.

By Eugene Washington, MD
PCORI's mission statement, which was developed by the Board of Governors last year, reads: "The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) helps people make informed health care decisions, and improves health care delivery and outcomes, by producing and promoting high integrity, evidence-based information that comes from research guided by patients, caregivers and the broader health care community." As someone who has been involved with PCORI now for nearly 18 months, I have come to realize that our success is inextricably intertwined with the day-to-day mission that is undertaken at our academic health centers around the country.
Just looking at the various components of the PCORI mission statement, you realize that we are talking first and foremost about taking care of patients, which is certainly a raison d'être for academic health centers. Being in a position where we have evidence-based information, but also having information that we know is patient-centered in that it comes from the perspective of patients and their caregivers, can only enhance the quality and the effectiveness of the care that we provide.
When asked about PCORI's mission and success being critical to academic medical centers, I tend to think of it more in terms of PCORI's success being linked to the academic medical centers. I see it as a bilateral two-way exchange.
At the core of whatever research is going to be conducted, which we're now calling PCOR — patient-centered outcomes research — is ultimately the care that we want to provide. Increasing attention is being placed nationally on "patient-centered care." I think at the heart of both the research and the actual care is meaningful patient engagement.
To me, that means involving patients in all aspects of research — from question development to interpretation of data — and likewise in all aspects of care delivery. Care delivery in acute settings as well as the care that increasingly we're providing away from our clinics and from our hospitals, as we move more toward population medicine with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention, depends on patient engagement.
It's clear that as we think about achieving our mission in PCORI, we think about at least three critical ways that our collaboration and strong partnership with academic medical centers come into play. First, it's very much about generating new knowledge and that's what we do at academic medical centers: This new knowledge includes how we meaningfully engage patients, new methods that need to be applied for patient-centered research, and new approaches we need to use as we talk about the dissemination of results.
Second, as we think about infrastructure, we are concerned with who is going to develop the workforce needed and who is going to train the next generation, which certainly are core competencies of academic health centers. We educate the next generation of physicians, but also other health care providers, to work in their future environments.
As we think about infrastructure, we also think about building on what already exists. When we think about clinical research — epidemiologic research, methodological research — the bulk of it is taking place in academic medical centers. With the establishment of the clinical and translational science institutes around the country, we have a golden opportunity to build on a complementary national research endeavor. So again, we see that this partnership is instrumental to our success as we attempt to optimally use resources across the country and not just those that we have at PCORI.
Finally, coming back to where I started, we all want to improve not just the care that we provide, but also the health outcomes of patients, communities, and populations. We can more clearly define what's important to patients and in turn, improve their decision making. Ultimately, if patients' outcomes and overall health improve, we will have succeeded through PCORI.
It's my position that the success of PCORI is inextricably intertwined with academic medical centers. I would encourage you to continue to play an active role in the work of PCORI and spread the word to our other colleagues about the need for the entire academic medicine community to be involved in all activities of PCORI at every stage.
—Eugene Washington, MD, MSc, Chair, Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Board of Governors, spoke on an open conference call sponsored by the AAMC on February 24 to discuss the first draft of PCORI's draft National Priorities for Research and Research Agenda. Dr. Washington is the Vice Chancellor, UCLA Health Sciences and Dean, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His opening remarks focused on why medical schools and teaching hospitals have a critical interest in PCORI's success, and why the success of PCORI is critical to the patients we serve. This post is a lightly edited transcript of his remarks.

Geyer plans a little ghostly fun
Thrilling audiences with a performance written by one of America's great icons, Actors and Artists of Fayette County will present the comedy "Blithe Spirit," a fun and entertaining classic penned by Noel Coward.
The show will be the directorial debut for Dan Pretz of California, who chose the play because of its script, wit and flow.
"It's really clever. It's well written," Pretz said of the show. "For my first show I thought that directing a comedy would be easier and this show in particular plays to my strong points with tech."
Pretz has an impressive background in theater, spending years both on and off the stage in numerous production, focusing on the technical aspects of productions.
Newer to the Geyer stage, Pretz was recently seen as the Cowardly Lion in the theater's June production of "The Wizard of Oz" and is now enjoying his stint off the stage and in the director's seat.
"It's coming along," Pretz said of the show, adding he is fortunate to have such a stellar cast for his first stint as a director. "These actors are all great. They are all experienced and they are all know what they are doing. I am so lucky to have such a strong cast that has made my first experience as a director much easier for me. There is a lot of talent on that stage."
Pretz said he wanted a show that would be appropriate for the upcoming Halloween season.
"It's an October show, so I wanted something that would be good for this time of year, but I didn't want something really scary or frightening, something more fun," Pretz said.
The show "Blithe Spirit" opened in the West End of London in 1941 and broke records at that time for the longest running non-musical, a record that would not be broken until the classic "Mousetrap" debuted in 1957.
Telling the tale that focuses on a fun and temperamental spirit, a mediocre clairvoyant and a desperate wife, the fun in Blithe Spirit is launched when novelist Charles Condomine, played by Shawn Conway of Latrobe brings in Madame Arcati, played by Martha Oliver of Scottdale, for a seance that is being performed at that time solely for research purposes.
What transpires is the "resurrection" of Charles's first wife, much to the dismay of his present wife, whose wish is to exercise the spirit once and for all.
"This is going to be a good show," Oliver said, adding this is the second time she has been a part of this show, but played a different role in the first performance years ago.
Oliver said the cast is well-seasoned and experienced and she has had the pleasure to work with many, while also enjoying a first time outing with others.
"There is a wonderful mixture here," Oliver said. "I just love these folks. It's a wonderful cast."
The show will be presented tonight through Sunday at the Geyer Performing Arts Center in Scottdale. Show times will be 7:30 p.m. tonight through Saturday with a 2:30 p.m. matinee Sunday. All tickets will be $10. For information, call the theater at 724-887-0887 or visit the web at www.geyerpac.com

Strawberry Letter-Mess Of A Pregnant Situation
Dear Steve and Shirley, I would like to get your input on this immature situation! I am in my mid 30's and I had a casual relationship with a man for five years who is in his early 40's. Well, I got pregnant and I told him about it. Well, the is where the problem sets in. He wanted me to have an abortion but he kept asking what options have you come up with. I said I don't know but I think I want to keep it. I only have one child and he is a teenager so I just could not destroy a life that did not ask to be here. Well, he never wanted to sit down and discuss the issue so the next thing I know he said "Well, I am getting ready to start talking to someone else and she is willing to accept me with the baby." So this third party as he calls her, is thirsty to speak with me and she tells me he told her all about the baby and she figured that she would go with it anyway because it was before her. Mind you I was eight weeks pregnant. Well, I walked away from the situation, spoke with lawyers and was told that I was not obligated to tell him anything about the baby until I was ready to go for custody, visitation and child support. I have had the baby and I broke down and told him about the baby and he gets upset. He becomes verbally abusive and says he has doubts the baby is his because he was not informed of the birth but he knew the estimated delivery date. He constantly contradicts himself by saying he wants joint custody and he wants the baby to have his last name. I was like "Oh, you do all this for a baby that you have doubts about?" Here we go again the third party comes in again with her thoughts. The women is being childish and she is in her mid-40's calling me names like jump off, and telling people he has doubts about the baby. She wants me to know they are planning a wedding and that his boy introduced them. I guess in her mind that makes him want her better than me because he left me pregnant. I guess all the lies he tells her is easy for her to believe because she wants him so bad! Mind you, before I stopped communication with him he wanted to talk about a relationship, he wanted me to be the other women, and he did not wanted me to go off on him. I told him later for that mess you said it was over. Then let it be over I am not going to compete for second best for any man. He told me in the beginning he did not know where this thing with them was going. Wow! Am I supposed to be the fool and wait around for him to decide?! I had a conversation with him and I told him that it is OK that we don't have to be together but you are going to respect me. I told him our conversations will only be about the baby because when I do talk to him his "friend", as he calls her, thinks I am calling to try and get him back! I told him that I am not going to put up with that and he is like, "Well, I don't care if the two of you don't like each other as long as we are cool and if she runs her mouth do what you have to do!" The point I want to ask is, did I do the right thing by walking away?

Schlierbach, Austria (SPX) Dec 24, 2012
The consortium of the EU project SUSTAINGAS "Enhancing sustainable biogas production in organic farming" (1) has published the first working definition (2) of "sustainable organic biogas". It clarifies the features of organic biogas, enables stakeholders to communicate using common approaches and will be a helpful tool in further implementation of the project. This is important for standardising and developing the market in terms of supply and demand.
The definition is included in the SUSTAINGAS consortium's first report, Product Description of Sustainable Organic Biogas (3), which also presents approaches for producing biogas sustainably on organic farms. The product definition is based on consultations with organic biogas farmers from six European countries and a literature study.
Wolfgang Baaske, co-ordinator of the project explains what is behind this definition: "The studies and interviews clearly revealed the key elements of organic biogas production:
1. Biogas production must be treated holistically - both biogas and digestate are produced.
2. Benefits come from using biogas as energy and increased crop yields.
3. Currently some conventional input substrates are allowed in organic biogas production. This percentage must be limited further.
4. It is important that soil fertility be improved and methane emissions are avoided."
The SUSTAINGAS partnership will continue to work on the criteria for sustainable organic biogas production and recommendations for organic biogas standards. Frank Hofman from Ecofys, Germany, says: "To define these criteria, the green house gases emissions from organic biogas, conventional biogas and fossil fuel will be compared. Several other aspects like soil fertility, biodiversity, water quality, and food vs. fuel are also being taken into consideration."
As sustainability includes financial sustainability, the economic benefits and financial strategies for farmers were discussed at the SUSTAINGAS workshop held in October in Berlin. Michael Tersbol from Okologisk Landsforening, Denmark gives more details: "Biogas technology must be suitable for the type of biomass most relevant to organic biogas farmers, who are largely using clover grass as biomass and who need to maintain the quality of the digestate so it can be used as organic fertilizer.
Other substrates must also be sought, and the cost of obtaining them for use as biomass must be taken into account. Our findings show that farmers working together to run an organic biogas plant can reap economic benefits, as farm income can grow through biomass supply and increased yields through the use of digestate as a fertiliser."
During the project a tool to illustrate the economic mutual benefit between biogas and organic farming will be developed.
(1)The project SUSTAINGAS - Enhancing sustainable biogas production in organic farming - is being implemented within the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe programme. Consortium includes partners from seven different European Countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Poland and Spain.
The project SUSTAINGAS aims at promoting sustainable organic biogas production by identifying and analysing the specific characteristics of organic biogas, its market and barriers, its economic viability, in relation to the crop yield and its sustainability; and by promoting best practice examples and a handbook in workshops, online trainings and webinars.
(2) The initial definition: Sustainable organic biogas is biogas produced with substrates mainly originating from organic agriculture, organic food production and/or nature conservation.
Types of substrate used are mainly catch crops, residues from animal husbandry or crop production, material from conservation areas and/or uncontaminated biological residues. The significance of energy crops as substrates is limited since organic biogas aims to have a positive impact on food production, avoiding a competition for land use.
Material from conventional agriculture is limited. The digestate is used as an organic fertilizer in the organic farms' own nutrient cycle. Organic biogas aims to improve soil fertility in organic farming systems. A safe and efficient process with low emissions particularly of methane is essential for the sustainability. Positive impacts are expected on water conservation and biodiversity.

Staying perfect in Ninth District action, the Washington Post 218 Freshman Legion team rolled past St. Peters on the road Monday night, 11-1.
"Just overall an awesome way to bounce back against a district opponent," Post 218 Manager Jordan Bierbaum said. "Just the game we needed to start the week."
Post 218 (13-5, 6-0) also swept a doubleheader from Ballwin Friday and split two games at Ste. Genevieve Saturday. Washington beat De Soto, but lost to the host Ste. Genevieve squad.
Washington continues its season Tuesday with an 8:30 p.m. home game against Wentzville.
Washington visits St. Charles at Blanchette Park Friday at 8:30 p.m. and goes to Elsberry Sunday at noon.
Washington will complete its schedule with a home doubleheader against New Haven Tuesday, July 2, starting at 6 p.m. and then visit Pacific Wednesday, July 3, at 6 p.m.
Post 218 recorded a nonleague doubleheader sweep Friday at Ballwin.
Washington won the first game, 8-5, and took the second one, 3-1.
In the opener, Washington jumped on top with three runs in the first and added one in the second. Each team scored once in the fourth.
Ballwin rallied to tie it with four runs in the bottom of the fifth. In the sixth inning, Washington broke the tie to win it with three runs.
Offensively, Garrett Leimkuehler recorded three hits while driving in one run.
Batters with two hits each were Blake Pickard, Nik Alferman and Joe Grant.
Pickard scored three times and stole two bases.
Alferman scored twice, drove in one and stole a base.
Grant had one run and three RBIs.
Others with hits were Gus Kleekamp, Will Davis, Daniel Diener, Cody Smith and Trey Hunter.
Diener and Hunter also scored runs. Kleekamp, drove in a run. Hunter added a walk.
Kleekamp also was hit by a pitch and stole two bases. Hunter stole one base.
Kody Halmich started and went three innings, allowing one walk while striking out two.
"We won 8-5 behind Kody Halmich on the mound," Bierbaum said. "He was on a pitch count for our district games this week. We came up with some big hits when needed and got up to an early lead. Then they came back and tied the game on us to their credit. We were able to flip the switch late and scratch out a couple of runs."
James Dyson took over and gave up five runs on five hits and two walks over 1.1 innings.
Justin Repp earned the win, pitching 2.2 innings while allowing two hits and one walk. He struck out one.
"Justin Repp came up huge for us," Bierbaum said. "In a tough spot and not a lot of time on the mound he threw some great innings for us and gave us the chance to win the game."
The second game was similar to the first. Washington scored once in the third inning and Ballwin tied it in the fourth. Post 218 won it with two runs in the bottom of the sixth with two runs, 3-1.
"This definitely was more of the game we want to play," said Bierbaum. "We had good defense and great pitching, along with timely hitting. The way to be successful in this game is doing that."
Leimkuehler was the winning pitcher, going five innings. He allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three.
"We were glad to give the ball to Garrett Leimkuehler and see what he had," Bierbaum said. "He proved that he deserves his shot in the rotation with six innings of one-run ball. He hurt his thumb the game before and battled for us on the mound."
Repp started and pitched three innings, allowing three hits and one walk. He struck out one.
Offensively, Pickard led the way with two hits and one RBI.
"Blake Pickard was the player of the day," Bierbaum said. "Congrats to him and the attitude he brought on Friday."
Alferman doubled while Hunter, Jeremy Monehan and Halmich each had singles.
Diener scored twice while Halmich crossed the plate once. Will Davis also had an RBI.
Grant walked. Pickard sacrificed. Lang and Halmich were hit by pitches and Davis, Pickard and Alferman stole bases.
De Soto
Post 218 rolled to a 17-0 victory over De Soto in Saturday's first game at Ste. Genevieve.
Washington scored eight runs in the bottom of the first, four in the second and five in the third to earn the quick victory.
Davis pitched a no-hitter in the game, allowing just one walk while striking out five batters.
"Will Davis started for us and gave us just what we needed a good start and lots of strikes," Bierbaum said. "Hopefully he gained some confidence on the mound after that one."
Offensively, Alferman recorded three hits, including two doubles. He scored twice and drove in one. He also stole a base.
Kleekamp, Grant and Smith each had two hits.
Kleekamp doubled, scored twice and drove in two runs.
Grant scored once and stole a base.
Smith hit an inside-the-park grand slam, scored twice, drove in five runs and added a walk.
"It was a shot to center field that the player dove for and just couldn't make the play," Bierbaum said. "Cody got on his wheels and really turned on the gas."
Hunter doubled while Lang, Zach Marquart, Dyson and Tyler Miller each hit singles.
Hunter also scored. Lang scored, drove in one, walked and stole a base.
Marquart scored twice and drove in two runs. Dyson drove in two runs. Miller scored and drove in a run.
Monehan walked and scored. Halmich was hit by two pitches. Diener was hit by one pitch.
Ste. Genevieve
If any team is becoming Washington's nemesis, it's got to be Ste. Genevieve, which beat Post 218 again Sunday, 11-1.
"We preach about which team is going to make the adjustment first and win the game," Bierbaum said. "We didn't do it that night."
Washington and Ste. Genevieve played in the state championship series last year with Washington taking the title. So far this season, Ste. Genevieve has beaten Washington 9-2 and 11-1.
Ste. Genevieve scored once in the bottom of the first, but Washington came back to tie it in the top of the third.
The host team then scored six times in the fourth and four more times in the fifth inning to end it.
Lang started and went 3.1 innings. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on five hits and three walks. He struck out one.
Smith pitched 1.1 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. He struck out one.
Pickard led the offense with two hits. Hunter, Leimkuehler, Davis and Diener each posted one hit.
Halmich scored the run and Kleekamp ended with the RBI. Halmich reached on a walk.
Kleekamp and Davis each sacrificed.
St. Peters
Washington scored once in the top of the first inning Monday, but St. Peters tied it in the bottom of the frame.
The rest of the game belonged to Post 218.
Washington scored four times in the second, twice in the third and four times in the fifth.
When St. Peters failed to score in the bottom of that frame, the game ended on the mercy rule.
Halmich pitched all five innings for Washington, holding St. Peters to one run on three hits and one walk. He struck out four.
"Here is where that pitch count saved us against Ballwin," Bierbaum said. "Kody Halmich gave us another ace performance. He settled down after the first inning and really made it tough for the other team to square anything against him. When he is on, he has to be one of the best in the district. And with no errors behind him, we should be able to take the game to any opponent."
Offensively, Davis had two hits while scoring twice. He added two stolen bases.
Kleekamp and Alferman each doubled. Kleekamp scored twice, drove in two and stole a base.
"I think moving Gus Kleekamp into that leadoff spot gives us a threat in the bases we were looking for," Bierbaum said. "He also had a hit and we forced the other team into some errors which made our day a little easier."
Alferman drove in one.
Hunter, Diener, Halmich and Lane each singled.
Hunter and Diener each scored once.
Halmich was hit by two pitches, scored twice and stole a base. Lang scored twice and drove in two.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 8.1086. Tuesday, 28 October 1997.
Date: Tuesday, 28 Oct 1997 00:00:05 +0200 (IST)
Subject: Enter Running
A short while back the list discussed the manner of Helena's entry in
the first act of Midsummer Night's Dream. The implications of "God
speed" raised the issue and the true meaning of the greeting resolved
that discussion.
I was surprised that no one mentioned a passage where someone is indeed
meant to enter running. Although there is no stage direction to that
effect, it is clear from the text itself that this was the author's
The play is Measure for Measure. An hour having been set for Claudio's
execution, time and its passage become important factors in the play.
The disguised Duke has instructed Isabella to make an appointment with
Angelo and having done so to meet him (the disguised Duke) at the door
of St. Luke's church for further instructions. The Duke has arrived at
the meeting point and from his question to Mariana we understand that
Isabella should have been there by then. Isabella enters and this is
what follows:
Act iv scene 2
Duke: Very well met, and well come.
What is the news from this good deputy?
Isab. He hath a garden circummured with brick,
Whose western side is with a vineyard back'd;
and to that vineyard is a planched gate,
That makes his opening with this bigger key;
This other doth command a litle door
which from the vineyard to the garden leads;
there have I made my promise
Upon the heavy middle of the night
to call upon him.
Duke. But shall on our knowledge find this way?
Isab. I have ta'en a due and wary course upon't:
With whispering and most guilty diligence,
In action all of precept, he did show me
The way twice o'er.
Isabella is clearly in a hurry when she appears: she doesn't respond to
the Duke's greeting with so much as a by your leave. She immediately
launches into a description of Angelo's garden, or should I say lurches
into it. I don't move my lips when I read, but I think there is
something in my temporal lobe that measures cadence. The first three
lines of her description of the garden lack the rhythmic flow one
expects from Shakespeare. Each ends abruptly enough to stop the flow of
the narrative and have me take a second look (reading a play,as opposed
to watching a performance, allows instant replay). This is how the lines
fell into place:
Act iv scene 2
Enter Isabella (running}
"Duke: Very well met, and well come.
What is the news from this good deputy?"
"Isab. He hath a garden" (omits the implied "which is" for lack
of breath)"circummured with brick,(deep breath)
"Whose western side is with a vineyard back'd;" (gets the whole
sentence in before having to take a deep breath)
"And to that vineyard is a planched gate," (another deep breath,
although the stop isn't as severe as the "ck"s of the previous
lines; she can afford to to pronounce the "e" in planched)
"That makes his opening with this bigger key;" (Again stops to
take a breath, but she is getting her breath back: the "k" at the line's
end introduces a syllable rather than closing one.)
"This other doth command a litle door
which from the the vineyard to the garden leads;" (she is
finally able to utter two lines before stopping to breathe.)
"There have I made my promise / ^ / (pause for an unforced deep
Upon the heavy middle of the night
to call upon him. / ^ / ^ /". (another u.d.b.)
"Duke. But shall on our knowledge find this way?
"Isab. I have ta'ena due and wary course upon't:
With whispering and most guilty diligence,
In action all of precept, he did show me
The way twice o'er." (finally speaking freely and embellishing
her lines with adjectives and repetitions: 'due and wary', 'whispering'
and 'diligence')."
I went to the text of Midsummer Night's Dream to see if Helena was out
of breath. She wasn't. I also went to the text Romeo and Juliet (Act 2,
scene 5) to see if the nurse was really out of breath as she claimed to
be. In spite of her having come "apace" I couldn't find any sign of
breathlessness, so I see her using bodily complaints to tease Juliet,
which is in keeping with the content of her lines. (On the other hand,
the expirative efforts of Lady Macbeth's "Help me hence, ho!" might be
an intimation of hyperventilation, a condition that can indeed lead to
I have never seen M for M performed, so my first question is, How is
this passage treated in productions? If it is done as I have described,
is there a term for this use of words? Does it qualify as "business",
which I have assumed to be activities of the actor in ways not
prescribed in the text, but allowed? Does it qualify as "subtext" which
I would take to imply emotional undertones rather than physiological
I think the foregoing may have some bearing on the question as to
whether the text is primarily a script to be performed or narrative
literature that has its own value as an art form. I think that author
has so chosen and arranged his words as to tickle the auditory, visual
and associative areas of the readers brain to evoke images, tones and
emotional responses at least as well as a novelist.
If this is all well rendered material from 1st year lit. you will have
trashed this by now, so there's no use apologizing.

This message originated from http://www.balidiscovery.com/ Find it online at http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/message.asp?Id=9859 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9/30/2013) A team formulating national legislation on special autonomy status for Bali have formed a special committee within The Indonesian Regional Representatives Council (DPD-RI) targeting for a complete presentation on special territory status for Bali to be ready by November 2013.
Special autonomy status for Bali is quickly acquiring broad-based support on the island, according to the chairman of the team formulating the legislation and a member of the DPD-RI, Wayan Sudirta.
Sudirta told NusaBali that the DPD-RI has solicited and obtained input from a borad sampling of community leaders and academics on the issues of special autonomy for Bali that was used in formulating the proposed legislation.
During the month of October the team will socialize the concept to the people of Bali, allowing final alterations based on public sentiment to be included in any final draft document.
Sudirta said a major motivation in seeking special autonomy status for Bali is a desire to preserve the province's natural environment and local culture. At the same time, he said the legislation would also safeguard the national interests of all Indonesians.
