Pianist Inon Barnatan to Play 92Y, 12/6
Pianist Inon Barnatan will perform works inspired by stories and poems that explore the interconnection of darkness and light in a solo recital at the 92nd Streety Y's Kauffman Concert Hall on Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 7:30 pm. Part of the four-concert series, Masters of the Keyboard, the program includes a selection of musically diverse pieces including Debussy's Suite Bergamasque, Stevenson's Fantasy on Britten's Peter Grimes, Thomas Adès's Darknesse Visible, Ravel's La valse, and Schubert's Sonata in A major, D. 959.
Tickets, priced from $36 - $60, can be purchased online at www.92y.org, by calling (212) 415-5500 or in person at the box office at 1395 Lexington Avenue. $25 tickets are available for patrons ages 35 and under.
"The pieces that comprise this program all have different stories at their core," said Mr. Barnatan. "Some are poems, like Verlaine's Clair de Lune at the heart of Debussy's Suite Bergamasque or the Dowland song explored in Adès's Darknesse Visible. Some are narratives, such as Britten's Peter Grimes which Stevenson reworked into his fantasy, or the Edgar Allen Poe story that inspired Ravel's exuberant and sinister waltz. Finally, we're given a glimpse into Schubert's tortured inner life, his own personal story, in the second movement of this otherwise majestic and lyrical sonata."
Mr. Barnatan, who is often commended for his naturally expressive, poetic music making, recently performed the recital program at the Kennedy Center, following which The Washington Post wrote, "Although there was firecracker technique on display, it was Barnatan's intelligence, musicality and story-telling ability that most impressed." He was also praised for his performance of the program at the Ravinia Festival in August 2012. The Chicago Classical Review declared his Schubert Sonata in A Major, D. 959 a "revelation on a variety of levels…Barnatan was able to toss off this difficult music like child's play. But what made this performance a significant cut above many interpretations of Schubert were the imaginative choices that Barnatan made, all of which were illuminating and each completely at the service of the music rather than the pianist…Barnatan unleashed a dramatic and passionate finale, which sounded so fresh even this familiar music came across as unpredictably adventurous."
Many of the works that will be presented on Mr. Barnatan's 92nd Street Y recital, were recorded for his Darknesse Visible album, released on Avie records in April 2012. The recording was named BBC Music Magazine's Instrumentalist CD of the Month, and in his review of the CD, Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times wrote, "The thoughtful programming is typical for this insightful musician. But Mr. Barnatan's extraordinary playing is what makes this release so rewarding." To further illuminate and explore the themes of the works on Darknesse Visible, Mr. Barnatan collaborated with filmmaker Tristan Cook and artist Zack Smithey on a series of YouTube video vignettes that expand upon the themes in Darknesse Visible and serve as a visual component to the CD. The videos can be viewed on Mr. Barnatan's YouTube channel.
Mr. Barnatan is widely recognized for refined, communicative, insightful playing that combines an extraordinary depth of musicianship and an impeccable, virtuosic technique. Since moving to the United States from Israel in 2006, Mr. Barnatan has performed with many of the country's most esteemed orchestras and conductors, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the symphony orchestras of Dallas, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. He has performed in New York at Carnegie Hall, the 92nd Street Y and at Lincoln Center, and at San Francisco's Herbst Theater, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center, and Boston's Jordan Hall, among many other important venues. In 2009, Mr. Barnatan was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, an honor reflecting the strong impression he has made on the American music scene in such a short period of time.
An avid chamber musician, Mr. Barnatan was a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's CMS Two program from 2006 to 2009, and is still a regular performer on CMS programs at home in New York and on tour. On November 2 and 4, 2012, Mr. Barnatan will join cellist Alisa Weilerstein and violinist Arnaud Sussmann in a program of works by Mozart, Chopin and Smetana, presented by the CMS of Lincoln Center at Alice Tully Hall.
Born in Tel Aviv in 1979, Inon Barnatan started playing the piano at the age of three after his parents discovered he had perfect pitch, and he made his orchestral debut at eleven. His studies connect him to some of the 20th century's most illustrious pianists and teachers: he studied with Professor Victor Derevianko, who himself studied with the Russian master Heinrich Neuhaus, and in 1997 he moved to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music with Maria Curcio – who was a student of the legendary Artur Schnabel – and with Christopher Elton. Leon Fleisher has also been an influential teacher and mentor and in 2004 he invited Mr. Barnatan to study and perform Schubert sonatas as part of a Carnegie Hall workshop, an experience that has had a lasting resonance for Mr. Barnatan. In 2006 Mr. Barnatan moved to New York City, where he currently resides in a converted warehouse in Harlem.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Even after a bank-stock rally, there are still hundreds of smaller companies whose shares are trading below book value. Among the largest, only a few were below tangible book at the end of January. Guggenheim Securities analyst Marty Mosby says that when a bank trades below tangible book value, "it's about risk management." "As you get to tangible book value, a bank has to produce profitability in excess of its cost of equity, in order to justify a meaningful premium to tangible book value," he says. The KBW Bank Index ( I:BKX) rose 30% during 2012 and went up another 5% in January, as investors digested another earnings season underscoring the industry's credit recovery and revenue challenges. Using data provided by Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, TheStreet has compiled a list of actively traded bank stocks that traded below tangible book value at the end of January. It's limited to banks for which year-end data were available and to stocks with average daily trading volume of at least 50,000 shares. The list is also limited to the 10 banks with the highest operating returns on average assets (ROA) during 2012. Of course, the price-to-book ratio is only one of many things to consider when picking bank stocks. Investors must also consider the timeline for greater profitability to support higher values. One of the most familiar names still trading below book value is Bank of America ( BAC), which didn't make the cut for our list because the company's 2012 ROA was only 0.19%. The company's shares closed at $11.32 Thursday, trading for 85% of their reported Dec. 31 tangible book value of $13.36. Mosby rates Bank of America "buy," with a $14 price target, which he says "represents what tangible book value would be as we move into 2014." Despite another year of mediocre earnings performance and plenty of lousy headlines, Bank of America's stock was the 2012 bank champion. No bank has more at stake in the unfolding U.S. housing recovery, mainly because of former CEO Ken Lewis's unfathomable decision for the company to take on Countrywide Financial's mortgage disaster in July 2008. Investors' unresolved mortgage repurchase claims against the company totaled $28.3 billion as of Dec. 31, increasing from $25.5 billion the previous quarter, and $12.6 billion a year earlier. Bank of America on Jan. 17 reported a fourth-quarter profit of $700 million, or 3 cents a share, after the company pre-announced a large mortgage putback settlement with Fannie Mae ( FNMA). The company also made a major contribution to the $8.5 billion foreclosure settlement between federal regulators and the nation's largest loan servicers. The Fannie settlement was a pivotal event, because the company's earnings presentation implied that its mortgage repurchase claims would decline by roughly $12.2 billion, bringing repurchase claims down to about $14.5 billion. Of course, that figure doesn't include new repurchase claims that may crop up during the first quarter, but it shows major progress. And every additional economic report showing improvement in the U.S. housing market makes investors more comfortable about the company's success in weathering the mortgage storm. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said during the company's earnings conference call that the company had achieved "strong results" in strengthening its balance sheet, increasing its estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio to 9.25% as of Dec. 31. The Basel III ratio was already significantly above the 8.5% that will be required in January 2019, when the Federal Reserve's enhanced capital requirements for systemically important financial institutions are fully phased in. When discussing the company's cost-cutting efforts, Moynihan said "we have reduced our employee count in each quarter in the last five and we have done that while we continue to invest in our targeted growth areas," and that "we reduced our delinquent mortgage count, which allowed us to reduce our
legacy asset servicing expenses," according to a transcript provided by Thomson Reuters. Mosby said in a report following the earnings release that "even though BAC has absorbed almost $10 billion in losses and charges over the last six quarters to resolve some of its mortgage-related issues, it has not posted a quarterly loss and tangible book value per share has grown 6%." The analyst also estimated "a range for potential remaining after-tax losses of $10 billion to $20 billion as compared to BAC's estimated current earnings power of around $10 billion a year." Mosby estimated that "as the remaining overhang issues continue to be resolved, or at least reduced, we believe BAC's discount to tangible book value should lessen to around 5%, or about $10 billion in expected losses." Another familiar name that didn't make our list of 10 most profitable banks trading below tangible book value, despite a decent 2012 ROA of 0.58%, is Hudson City Bancorp ( HCBK) of Paramus, N.J. The bank was excluded from the list because it agreed in August to be acquired by M&T Bank ( MTB) of Buffalo, N.Y., in a cash-and-stock deal that was valued at $3.7 billion. Another profitable company trading below tangible book value that was excluded from the list is Citizens Republic Bancorp ( CRBC) of Flint, Mich., which in September agreed to be acquired by FirstMerit ( FMER) of Akron, Ohio, in an all-stock deal that was valued at $912 million. The following are the 10 most profitable bank stocks trading below tangible book value, for which year-end data were available Friday. The list is ordered by ascending ROA:

The fence is an additional cost having consistent routine maintenance demands. Fences happen to be needed to be a specific span to make certain precaution happen to be matched. Residence owners insurance policy is additionally considerably blown up with the existence of a pool.
Get back a Backyard
Pools, while they can easily form a novelty on a warm day, happen to be well known for prevailing over the leading space of a back yard. These garden hogs avoid leisure time in the backyard. This protects against kids from running around in their own back garden. Celebration topics are prevailed over by its existence.

The expense of a pool demolition can easily average between $ 6,000.00 to $ 15,000.00. This expense, having said that, happens to be a one time expense. All that is called for happens to be the maintenance on the lawn by having water and mowing. It is a finances decision that is huge to carry out, yet rewards a homeowner tenfold in the money spared on service, repairs, winterizing, opening as well as homeowners insurance policy. A lot of home owners are able to reconcile some of the expenses after a demolition by selling some of the filtration equipment to pool amount centers.
Making use of a Builder
Due to the substantial wiring that is site underground alongside gasoline lines and further products, it happens to be wise to get a registered building contractors ( like www.surecutlandscaping.com or www.surecutpooldemolition.com company )that can review city maps as well as make sure that no significant destruction is done in the pool demolition service. It happens to be foolish to pursue such a substantial endeavor without happening to be conscious aware of all the risks that may transpire.

DETROIT (AP) -- A group representing gay Catholics says it's proceeding with plans to hold a Mass on Sunday at Marygrove College in the face of appeals from a conservative Christian group that the Archdiocese of Detroit block the event.
Dignity USA's Detroit chapter has had previous Masses in the chapel of the Roman Catholic-sponsored school.
Dignity USA executive director Marianne Duddy-Burke says all children of God "should be able to worship in peace."
American Family Association Michigan President Gary Glenn has asked Archbishop Allen Vigneron (VIG'-neh-rawn) to enforce Vatican policies on homosexuality and intervene against the Mass.
Archdiocese spokesman Ned NcGrath says there are "hundreds of Masses celebrated in the Detroit Archdiocese every weekend" and Vigneron expects they'll follow Catholic teachings.
The Associated Press has asked the college for comment.

Son of rap legend Eazy E calls friend and journalist Jasmyne Cannick to say he's OK – He rented car involved in the fatal crash
DALLAS – It just wouldn't be New Year's Eve without someone starting a Twitter rumor about a celebrity death.
For the record … Compton's Eric Wright Jr. a.k.a. Lil Eazy E is not dead.
Wright Jr. called friend, journalist, and fellow Compton native Jasmyne Cannick New Year's Eve and left her a message to set the record straight stating that he's alive albeit not that well.
According to the Associated Press, Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Ryan Case said that Eric Wright Jr.'s name was on a rental agreement for one of the cars that collided Friday, December 30 in East Texas. Trooper case said that Wright was mistakenly listed as killed but actually was not involved in the wreck.
Wright, who raps under the stage name is Lil' Eazy-E, posted on Twitter that close friends died. Those killed in the rental car were: Debra Thompson of Long Beach, Calif.; and Curtis Sanders, Michael Mathis, Lawrence Bridnac III, of Compton, Calif.
Those killed in the other car were 29-year-old Sonia de la Torre, of Annona, and her three young children.
The fiery wreck occurred on a curve about a mile outside of Annona, a town about 150 miles northeast of Dallas.
Authorities said there were no witnesses to the crash on a remote stretch of U.S. 82, and everyone in both vehicles were killed. There were no skid marks, and investigators do not know how fast the vehicles were traveling.
The eastbound car with the four California residents crossed a center line and struck de la Torre's westbound car. Her 8-year-old daughter Erica, 6-year-old son Saul Jr. and 10-month-old son Eric were riding with her.
Cannick said that she's saddened to hear about the loss of Lil E's cousin and the the 7 other victims, but that she's glad that he's alive and well.

Or mojito, daiquiri, or whatever sugary concoction strikes your fancy. "They often use mix so that they can turn them out quickly, and that's pure sugar," says Robyn Youkilis, a nutritional consultant for Seamless. A less candy-like drink may be as simple as asking for your beverage to be made without a mix. These still have sugar, but it's less likely to come from high-fructose corn syrup. "The best thing you can do is customize your drink," adds Youkilis. "I've ordered a mojito and asked for a only a little bit of sugar and for it to be made with soda water instead of Sprite." Another good option? Drinks with bitters, digestives that help break down food and alcohol in your body, which many cocktail bars are now making themselves.
When it comes to bar nuts, the easier-said-than-done trick is to limit yourself to a single serving—one-quarter cup is about 170 calories. "People usually aren't eating them consciously, but pushing through fullness and eating them as a habit," says Allison Stowell, RD. Your best bet is asking for a cup, then depositing a small handful. "Those free nuts are designed to get you to drink more because they're salty, and thus make you thirsty," says Youkilis. To beat bars at their own game, keep a glass of water next to you. It'll help you avoid going into autopilot and reaching for snacks, and it quenches thirst, which is easily mistaken for hunger.

Why part-timers are ruining WWE's mid-card?
by, 03-19-2013 at 06:38 PM (7028 Views)
From the day after the Elimination Chamber PPV to WrestleMania, popular WWE mid-carders such as Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, R-Truth, The Miz, Wade Barrett, Antonio Cesaro, Sin Cara, and Zack Ryder are being pushed aside by part-time WWE Superstars such as The Rock (the current WWE Champion), Triple H, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar as of late.
It seems that the WWE is relying too much on these aforementioned part-timers alongside full-timers such as John Cena and CM Punk in a desperate attempt to draw ratings for Monday Night RAW and to a lesser extent, Friday Night SmackDown as well as generate plenty of buys for WrestleMania 29 which takes place on Sunday, April 7th at MetLife Stadium in Meadowlands, New Jersey.
The reason is simple. Cena draws. The Rock draws, Triple H draws. Punk draws. Lesnar draws. Undertaker draws. All six of these men get plenty of reaction from the WWE Universe. Add Paul Heyman, who is no doubt one of the most over heels in WWE history.
By contrast, guys like Rhodes and Ryder don't draw as well and are usually relegated to competing on WWE Superstars and Saturday Morning Slam due to the fact that WWE Creative has nothing for them during the critical WrestleMania season.
As a result, expect guys like Rhodes, Ryder, Sandow, Kingston, Sin Cara, The Miz, Barrett, Cesaro, and R-Truth to be relegated to the WrestleMania 29 pre-show on YouTube (either a battle royal or a lumberjack match) alongside the likes of Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre, Brodus Clay, David Otunga, Tensai, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Ted DiBiase, The Great Khali, Epico, Primo, Titus O'Neil, Darren Young, William Regal, Santino Marella, and Yoshi Tatsu.
But once WrestleMania 29 is in the books, expect everything to be back to normal on both RAW and SmackDown...until weeks leading up to SummerSlam, that is.

Version 2 of the AWS Mobile SDK
- This article and sample apply to Version 1 of the AWS Mobile SDK. If you are building new apps, we recommend you use Version 2. For details, please visit the AWS Mobile SDK page.
- This content is being maintained for historical reference.
Sending E-mail with Amazon SES Using the AWS SDK for iOS and the AWS SDK for Android
This article discusses how mobile applications can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to send e-mail without additional infrastructure. The sample code presented here uses Amazon Simple Email Service to record feedback from users but this same method could be used in the following scenarios:
- automated alerts/bug reports
- feature requests
- blog by e-mail
This article shows sample code for both the iOS and Android platforms. The complete sample code and project files are included in the AWS SDKs for these mobile platforms. Links to the SDKs are available at the end of this article.
To use the AWS SDK for iOS or the AWS SDK for Android, you will need AWS credentials, that is, an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. If you haven't already signed up for Amazon Web Services, you will need to do that first to get your credentials. You can sign up for AWS here. After you sign up, you can retrieve your credentials at this page.
The sample application described here demonstrates how mobile applications can record feedback from their users through Amazon SES. It requires that you already have a verified email address; this address will be used as both the sender and recipient of the message, so it is not necessary to get production access to Amazon SES before using this sample application. You can verify an email address on the AWS console and read more about verification and production access in the Amazon SES Getting Started Guide. Amazon SES can also be used to create other types of emails not shown here.
Creating an Amazon SES Client
Making requests to Amazon SES requires creating a client for the service. The code below shows how to create a client on both the iOS and Android platforms.
- iOS
AmazonSESClient sesClient = [[AmazonSESClient alloc] initWithAccessKey:ACCESS_KEY_ID withSecretKey:SECRET_KEY];
- Android
AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials( PropertyLoader.getInstance().getAccessKey(), PropertyLoader.getInstance().getSecretKey() ); AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient sesClient = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient( credentials );
Creating Email
SES will accept both regular and raw emails. Our application makes use of the regular method, meaning we do not have to construct our own headers. Regular emails require a source, destination (list of to, cc, and bcc addresses) and a message, which itself comprises a body and subject. The code below shows how to create the various parts of the email on both the iOS and Android platforms.
- iOS
SESContent *messageBody = [[[SESContent alloc] init] autorelease]; messageBody.data = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Rating: %d\nComments:\n%@", rating.selectedSegmentIndex+1, commentsField.text]; SESContent *subject = [[[SESContent alloc] init] autorelease]; subject.data = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Feedback from %@", nameField.text]; SESBody *body = [[[SESBody alloc] init] autorelease]; body.text = messageBody; SESMessage *message = [[[SESMessage alloc] init] autorelease]; message.subject = subject; message.body = body; SESDestination *destination = [[[SESDestination alloc] init] autorelease]; [destination.toAddresses addObject:VERIFIED_EMAIL];
- Android
String subjectText = "Feedback from " + nameField.getText(); Content subjectContent = new Content(subjectText); String bodyText = "Rating: " + ratingBar.getRating() + "\nComments\n" + commentsField.getText(); Body messageBody = new Body(new Content(bodyText)); Message feedbackMessage = new Message(subjectContent,messageBody); String email = PropertyLoader.getInstance().getVerifiedEmail(); Destination destination = new Destination().withToAddresses(email);
Sending Email
Once we've constructed our email components, it simply
becomes a matter of creating a
SendEmailRequest and
passing this to the SES client we created earlier. The code below
shows how to create a
SendEmailRequest and send it with
Amazon SES on both the iOS and Android platforms.
- iOS
SESSendEmailRequest *ser = [[[SESSendEmailRequest alloc] init] autorelease]; ser.source = VERIFIED_EMAIL; ser.destination = destination; ser.message = message; SESSendEmailResponse response = [[AmazonClientManager ses] sendEmail:ser];
- Android
SendEmailRequest request = new SendEmailRequest(email,destination,feedbackMessage); SendEmailResult result = clientManager.ses().sendEmail(request);
A sample app that includes this code is hosted in our samples repositories on GitHub:

I'm not the least bit concerned about Apple's overbearing control over what device gets what features. I get that older devices run sluggishly and don't have the hardware to run features smoothly, but it should still be accessible at my descretion. I am thankful for the dev boys and girls who work diligently to provide awesome support to iDevice owners by use of the jailbreak. It is amazing what doors are opened just by jailbreaking.

Master Class Designer Alessandra Branca
If you have the space, a chair, or even a small stool, makes a bathroom feel more spa-like. In designer Victoria Pearson's Ojai, California home, a tufted armchair, purchased from a 20th Century Fox prop sale, practically begs you to unwind. Gauzy curtains from Ikea let sunlight peek through the French doors. Tip: For upholstered pieces, choose an outdoor fabric to help resist moisture.
A space feels more cohesive when you stick to one colorway. "I have tons of plates! It's one thing I can't resist. But most of them are white, with just a few green ones. That helps visually to keep it from being bogged down," says Pearson. Matching them to the wall paint also helps unite a space so it feels less cluttered. Another advantage? Setting a gorgeous table is a breeze!

DEKALB, Ill. (AP) — Darrell Bowie scored 19 points and Aaric Armstead 17 as Northern Illinois topped Central Michigan 88-63 on Wednesday night.
Armstead's 17 are a career high and Bowie's 19 are his best output since back-to-back 19- and 23-point games in November.
Northern Illinois (11-12, 5-6 Mid-American) struggled with the Chippewas (8-15, 11-10) through much of the first half until Armstead and Daveon Balls combined for nine points in a little under 3 minutes, staking Northern Illinois to an 11-point lead just before intermission.
Central Michigan went scoreless for more than 4 minutes to open the second half, but Chris Fowler (19 points) got hot with a personal 9-2 run and then dished to Rayshawn Simmons as Central Michigan closed to 56-50. The Huskies sank 12-for-12 from the line in a 22-9 run that put the game away. They outrebounded Central Michigan 39-19.
The Chippewas fell to 2-9 on the road.

PLANO, Texas -- JCPenney reported income from continuing operations of $1.09 per share for the quarter ended Jan. 29. Comparable-store sales for the quarter grew 4.5%.
Myron Ullman, III, chairman and chief executive officer, said, "Our performance in 2010 reflects the strides we have made to deliver on our operating goals and position JCPenney as a retail industry leader. This was particularly evident in the fourth quarter when the actions we took during the year -- including new growth initiatives and improvements across our merchandise assortments, redefining the jcp.com experience and driving efficiencies across our company -- enabled us to achieve sales, market share and profitability growth that surpassed our expectations, and to establish a share buyback plan which will return value to our shareholders."
Comparable-store sales in the fourth quarter increased 4.5% over last year, ahead of the company's guidance for sales to increase 3% to 4%. Total sales for the quarter increased 2.8%, and continued to be impacted by the company's exit of its catalog business, JCPenney reported. Internet sales through jcp.com were $495 million in the fourth quarter, increasing 6.7% over last year. Geographically, the best performance was in the Southeast region of the country. Overall, the strongest merchandise results were in men's apparel, women's accessories and Sephora inside JCPenney.
For the full year 2010, comparable-store sales increased 2.5%, in-line with the company's expectations for comparable-store sales to increase low single digits for the year. Total sales increased 1.2% for the year.
The company said it expects comparable-store sales growth in 2011 to be in the low- to mid- single digit range. Total sales are expected to grow in the low-single digit range in 2011. The company noted that its total sales are expected to grow at a slower rate due to the discontinuation of its catalog business and the company's transition out of its outlet store business over the next two years.
For the full year, earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $2 to $2.10 per share.

The purpose of this shelter is to find good homes for our pets. Potential adoptive guests will be treated with courtesy and respect. No potential adoptive guest will be denied from adopting a pet on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, or marital status. Our shelter is concerned with finding potential adoptive guests that: can financially afford to provide for the pet; have a safe, appropriate place to care for and house a pet; have no history of violent behavior or abuse; have time to spend with a pet; and are willing to make a long-term commitment to the pet. The interviewing process of potential adoptive guests will focus only on these concerns.
Adoption of our pets to families with children under the age of five years will be evaluated based on an individual basis with the primary concern being safety. All adoption decisions will be based on the welfare of the animals. Our shelter reserves the right of refusal to adopt a pet. Each prospective guest will be required to provide a government-issued picture identification and to complete an adoption application. All animals are spayed or neutered before adoption unless they are too young.
Thank You!

Talk about rare...this is from 1969 and was only given to radio DJ's to proclaim the advantage of "Slurping." One side is a pop-psych song by this band called the Strange Things, and the other is 'tesitmonials' about how great 7-11 is! Funny, but not on purpose.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
The loudest voices in the gun debate in Texas seem to belong to those who not only don't want any controls, but want to get more guns in more hands, like state Rep. Jeff Leach of Plano, who has proposed a sales tax holiday for gun purchasers, as reported by Steve Blow in his Thursday DMN column.
But there's another group, formed in December by Shannon Watts, an alumna of Plano Senior High School, who is now an Indiana mother of five, that also wants to make its voice heard in Texas and around the country. It's Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, known up until Feb. 20 as One Million Moms For Gun Control. Modeled on Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Shannon founded her nationwide movement in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Conn. Already, there are tens of thousands of members in more than 80 chapters across the United States including four in Texas: in Austin, Houston, San Antonio and, yes, Dallas. The Texas chapters represent about 600 active members and Hilary Rand, the Austin-based regional leader in Texas for Moms Demand Action, is determined to help those numbers grow.
So far, the Texas contingent has held a Jan. 26 rally at the State Capitol in Austin and is planning another for early April.
"We do have some challenges ahead here in Texas, no doubt about it," Hilary wrote me in an email. "But surveys have shown that most Texans support universal background checks for all gun sales, and that most Texans even support reinstating the assault weapons ban. Nationally, 88% of gun owners and 86% of NRA members support background checks. If Texas lawmakers would only put aside their business-as-usual rhetoric and come at this open-mindedly, they would realize most of their constituents are on the side of common sense gun violence prevention legislation. There is a lot of common ground to be found here, and Texas legislators are doing a disservice to the people they represent by refusing to look for it."
The organization changed its name to better define its mission, they say, which is to urge legislators to take action on new and stronger common-sense gun laws. They received the following endorsement from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the author of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.
"Getting weapons of war off our streets is an uphill battle, but the only way we're going to get this done is if members of Congress hear directly from parents, teachers, law enforcement and doctors – the citizens who understand all too well what gun violence is doing to our country," Sen. Feinstein said. "I applaud the leadership of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and I am grateful for the grassroots commitment of moms all across this country to saving lives and helping to pass common-sense gun laws. Now is the time for action."
The group is unaffiliated with any other organization or political party. On their website, they say, "We understand the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms—just not ALL arms. Let's make our country a better, less violent place for them."
Here are their goals:
Ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
Require background checks for all gun and ammunition purchases.
Report the sale of large quantities of ammunition to the ATF, and ban online sales of ammunition.
Counter gun industry lobbyists' efforts to weaken gun laws at the state level.
What do you say? Agree or disagree with their mission? You can find out more about them at momsdemandaction.org.

Excellent choice for Los Altan of the Year
Bravo to the Town Crier for selecting the David and Lucile Packard Foundation as the Los Altan of the Year (Town Crier, Jan. 8).
We live in an incredible place – Los Altos, Silicon Valley, the Bay Area. The Packard Foundation has been a steadfast patron for decades – literally building organizations from the ground up – from bricks and mortar to programming support and critical leadership operating funding that could be counted upon regardless of economic downturns.
We would be a dramatically different Silicon Valley had it not been for the vision and commitment of the Packard Foundation to support, encourage and sustain our leading nonprofit institutions – from arts and culture to social service, from large budget to small budget and everything in between.
I doubt that any resident here has not in a direct way benefited from the benevolence of the foundation's gifts.
I hope we will be blessed again and again with this kind of extravagant generosity and bold risk-taking from the next generation – who can be mentored by this model to change the world – locally, nationally and globally, but locally first.

Eye and Vision Care
Eye Color Change Caused By X-Ray Radiation
If radiation from an x-ray was to come into contact with the eye of a person who has suffered damage to the iris or a discoloration of the iris in the past ,could the radiation some how cause more damage to the iris and cause more color change by turning the color darker or lighter ,basically can x-ray radiation contribute to iris color change or iris discoloration when it comes into contact with the eye? thank you
Interesting question.
It, of course, would depend upon the exposure time and the intensity of the radiation.
I'm not an expert in radiation effects on the eye. But from what I know, it would be more likely that retinal effects in the back of your eye would cause more damage than iris effects in the front part. In the visible-light portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum (such as sunlight), radiation has been shown to cause keratitis ("corneal sunburn") and permanent loss of central vision (solar retinopathy).
I'd recommend that you see your optometrist or ophthalmologist if you notice either one of these symptoms.

Great to hear about your auto success. I tried to get Reggie's auto for my kid by writing c/o the Pacers during his next-to-last year, but never got anything back.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Great to hear about your auto success. I tried to get Reggie's auto for my kid by writing c/o the Pacers during his next-to-last year, but never got anything back.
I thought I'd post this since some people here may be interested in this information...If you want Reggie Miller to sign something for you, send to TNT Sports and you will get him back...Normally he'll sign autographs through is fan mail once per month, but I think that is just during the NBA season. I got him to sign and return for me both times I sent to him this past season.
Thanks for this info. Did you send anything to him to sign and send an SASE? Or does he just sign a TNT-issued photo?
I sent him my items with a SASE as well. First time he signed a card for me in silver paint pen and the second time I got my photo back signed in black sharpie. And no, I didn't provide him with pens/sharpies--he already had them fortunately. I did see some people this past year send multiple items at once and they got everything back signed, so if you have more than one item you want signed, I'd say go ahead and send it all to him at once (maybe no more than 3 items, though).
If anyone's interested, I have these Eddie Gill autographs signed on blank index cards below that I had him sign at the Indy Pro-Am last summer. I'd sell one of them for $5 shipped and I'd even add in Delivery Confirmation. Just let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
(they are the ones on the top right and the bottom right)
I just sent letters/Autograph requests to Eric Gordon and George Hill.
I'll try to upload some pics of my cards soon.
Finally was able to get Slick Leonard's auto last night at the draft party, along with Don Buse. Both were extremely gracious and friendly, and along with McGinnis, I didn't see anyone refuse an autograph request despite the fact that they were sitting at a reserved table.
I was thinking of doing the same, but do you think the players will still get fan mail during the lockout?
if it's like the nfl lockout, then they will not.
Here are some of my newer Paul George cards.
sweet! that will be awesome when you complete the name!
I know! 2 more to go.
Anybody interested in George Hill?? I have these 2 cards of his that I'd sell both for $1 cash which includes shipping:
09-10 Upper Deck George Hill
10-11 Panini Prestige George Hill
This is what they look like:
Just let me know. Thanks!
I have a Kelvin Hayden autographed Super Bowl jersey for sell if anyone is interested. It comes with a COA from GAI and is a size 46. You can check this jersey at http://www.globalauthentics.com/certcheck/main.asp if you would like. The certification number is GV 330743. PM me if you are interested. Thanks!
just sent autograph requests to Brad Stevens and Jared Sullinger via letter and about 40 other college coaches via email.
Let me know if you get Sullinger as that would be really cool! Good luck on all of those requests!
Got these in the mail today. Got a great deal on ebay ($30 for both, including shipping)
Ball is authentic and has a COA from Just Minors, signed on July 18th, 2008
Hmm the pic isn't showing for me...
What about now?
Will do
Oh sweet! Very cool pieces of memorabilia to display!!

Demitrious Davis and his twin brother Chris Davis have played football on the same team everywhere they've been and most recently at Pitt. Now the former Panthers are transferring to Kentucky.
Sources informed Cats Illustrated on Tuesday afternoon that the former Panthers officially visited Kentucky and told the staff of their intent to transfer to UK. The twins confirmed their transfer via their Twitter accounts.
Last year the twins were redshirt freshmen at Pittsburgh. They will have to sit out for the 2013 season before they are eligible the following year. They will then have three years of eligibility.
Natives of Austintown (Ohio), the Davis brothers attended Austintown Fitch. They were both ranked among the top 40 prospects in Ohio as members of the Class of 2012, and ranked the No. 32 and No. 33 athletes in the nation according to Rivals.com.
Both brothers began their Pitt careers as wide receivers but Demitrious was eventually moved to running back. Given Kentucky's depth woes at receiver it seems likely that both brothers will be given a chance to play that position.
According to Pitt's official athletic site Chris caught more than 50 passes over his final two years of high school football, while an injury limited Demitrious to just three games of action during his senior year.
They were both ranked three-star (5.7) prospects and held offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Boston College, Cincinnati, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Oregon, Oregon State, Purdue, UCLA, Vanderbilt and West Virginia.

I mean yeah, I agree with most of that, it's just Hibbert is drastically better at being a basketball player.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I mean yeah, I agree with most of that, it's just Hibbert is drastically better at being a basketball player.
Javale McGee (aka Pierre) is absolutely hilarious on Twitter though. I like him because he's funny and an okay center, but he is so damn stupid.
The worst player possible to replace Roy with is Javale...
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Now wait, JaVale might help bring the fans back. He provides great entertainment. Indy will be buzzing with "I wonder what JaVale will do next game."
I'm a big McGee guy, he could be one of the top centers in the game if he quits being a knucklehead. People are sleeping on his potential, he has a very very very high ceiling.
Also, the op tweet said Kaman AND McGee, does that mean both?
Last edited by Speed; 07-03-2012 at 07:28 PM.
I'm guessing it means they'll go after both and get whichever makes more sense.
Yep. He's much better than people are giving him credit for.
If we wanna get technical, Javale scored more points per-minute than Roy, did it more efficiently (TS%: .539 vs. 552; eFG%: .497 vs. .556), pulled down more rebounds per-minute, and blocked more shots per-minute. He also had a terrific postseason showing again the Lakers.
It's become trendy to belittle McGee, thus, most people do it, but no one in their right mind can deny that he's a very productive basketball player. Although he can't admit it, lest his hypocrisy be exposed, McGee provides exactly the type of production that Kstat is dreaming of Andre Drummond giving Detroit in the future -- efficient scoring, big time rebounding, and a bunch of blocked shots.
I'd happily take him at $10M per-season. I'm sure Denver would match that, though.
By the way, Denver had a superior winning percentage with McGee than with Nene.
Denver, w/ Nene: 16-12 (.571)
Denver, w/ McGee: 13-7 (.650)
Although, to be fair, Washington had a far superior record with Nene. It looks like a win/win trade, although give me the 24-year-old over the 29-year-old going forward.
Plumlee>Mcgee....actually idk they both kind of suck
Wasn't JaVale the player who said previous to being traded to Denver he wanted a new contract at 14 mil? If so, I highly doubt he's changed his mind. You can bet your sweet bippie Denver isn't going to give JaVale a 14 mil contract. If he could be gotten for 8-9 mil, you'd have to consider him if the Pacers choose not to re-sign Hibbert. Take the 5-6 mil and use it towards picking up another FA.
Since people are throwing out controversial names, you can probably pick up Blatche from the Wiz at 8 mil. He can play both the 4 & 5.
I want Hibbert back, but not at some ridiculous salary. There are other options out there, just not Hibbertesque. The front office might decide not to match and just get a plug the dam type player for this year to see how things sake out.
Another name to consifer is Robin Lopez who is a RFA... offer him 6-7 mil. Maybe he bites and the Suns don't match since they have Gortat. Please no Herb won't go after RFA spiel. I believe it's been determined he'd be willing, just won't get in a bidding war for a RFA like Gordon.
People are seeing a different player than I am, he's looked very very good, when I've seen him. I need to go see Roy and McGee's head to head, but it seemed like Roy struggled against him. What is it that people don't like about his game? Guys has about every physical attribute you'd hope for in a center.
I could have sworn I heard somewhere that McGee is looking for 14mill a yr. I don't see how he could even be considered an option to replace Roy. This has to be nothing more than posturing. If the FO is seriously considering not matching, theyI'll be Pritch Slapping themselves.
Good thing some people on this forum are just bulletin board posters and not general managers. OMG!
Exactly. It's trendy.
The new thing is laughing at how dumb McGee supposedly is. He's very talented however, although he is ADHD like on the court sometimes. But most of the time he's rebounding well, playing good defense and scoring efficiently. (great cuts to the basket and put backs)
I'd love to have JaVale. But then again I don't base my opinons on players off of ******** narratives created by ESPN.
How bout Resign Roy.
Sign Javale.
Trade DWest, DC and 2 future draft picks for Rondo.
Then we can go kick some serious A S S!
Hibbert / Plumlee
McGee / Hans
Granger / George
George / Hill
Rondo / Hill
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
I really do think he'll be as good as or better than Tyson Chandler and he has the potential to be better than Roy Hibbert.
Javale is a much better finisher around the Rim than Roy will ever be. He doesn't get knocked to the floor 7 times a game either.
Javale McGee
2012-13 Season
11.1 6.1 1.9 25.13 in 19.6 minutes per game.
Roy Hibbert
2012-13 Season
8.5 8.0 2.4 12.08 in 28.8 minutes per game.
So far through 10 games for both Roy and Javale, I know which guy I'd rather have. It's a long season though. Let's revisit this every 10 games or so.
As soon as I saw this thread bumped, I got sad.
Teams are collapsing on Hibbert and focusing the defense on stopping him. Nobody is doing that with McGee. If teams guarded Hibbert like they guard McGee, they'd be giving up 30ppg to Roy every night.
Has Hibbert even scored 30 points in any game for his career? I sort of doubt it. Hibbert will never be even a 20 PPG scorer. I'd be thrilled if he hit 15.
Last edited by Dece; 11-19-2012 at 07:40 PM. Reason: Looked it up, 30 is his career high.

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
McGee and Hawes were two guys I would have went after if they wouldn't have signed Roy. It'll be interesting to see if George Karl will play McGee more minutes as the season goes on. You can see by his PER he is crazy impactful in only 19.6 mins a game.
McGee can't even start over Kosta Koufus. He's fine as a backup, but Wiz fans and Nugget fans know just how many bone-headed plays McGee will get into if given enough playing time.
Btw, I'll bet Hibbert's offense would look tons better too if he's playing with Andre Miller all the time...

DETROIT - Burger King's official Twitter account was hacked Monday and turned into a digital billboard for rival fast food chain McDonald's.
Whoever targeted the @BurgerKing account changed the avatar to the iconic golden arches and started sending tweets around noon like, "We just got sold to McDonalds! Look for McDonalds in a hood near you @DFNCTSC."
In the past hour, some posts from the account have contained racial epithets, references to drug use and obscenities. The account has also tweeted: "if I catch you at a wendys, we're fightin!"
"The fact that @BurgerKing got hacked and turned into a @McDonalds feed is pretty funny. Never know what is going to happen in social media," reads one tweet.
Another was retweeted to say "Somebody needs to tell Burgerking that 'whopper123' isn't a secure password."
Burger King Worldwide Inc., which is based in Miami, suspended the account an hour later.

ST JOES boxing gym star Gary Buckland has been receiving some moral support as he prepares for a Commonwealth title shot, from his friends at Newport County AFC, writes Michael Pearlman.
The talented 27-year old is enjoying a career high after two televised battles with Newbridge's Gavin 'The Rock' Rees were lauded, Buckland victorious in the first and defeated in the second, both on split-decision.
He'll next face knock out artist Richard Commey (17 wins, 17 by KO or stoppage, no defeats) with the opportunity to become British lightweight champion.
The Tony Borg trained fighter is one of the fittest men in the sport and anyone living in Newport will likely have seen the man known as the 'Dynamo' out pounding the streets.
However, Buckland will no longer be listening to Solitary Man on his headphones after being joined by some boisterous company.
"Tony Borg and I are really good friends and his fighters train phenomenally hard," County's Mike Flynn explained.
"So as I need to maintain fitness over the summer and I'm getting to know some of the younger players at the club, we've combined us staying fit with helping to make road-running a little less boring for Gary and his stablemates."
Flynn is a long-time supporter of Buckland.
"Me and a lot of the boys from the squad, eight or nine of us, went along to watch Gary's first fight with Gavin," he said.
"We've got some big fight fans in the group, especially Andy Sandell.
"Hopefully this is useful for everyone involved."

Android port/Specification
This page presents a high-level overview of the Android port and its goals, primarily non-technically, from a user or a designer perspective more than that of a programmer. To provide clarity to the specification, each section contains a rough sketch of what it ought to look like on the screen.
(Or, it will. This is still a work in progress)
Style, sizing
- paraphrase Android style guidelines; grid sizes; Androidy colors; action bar, etc.
- describe different layouts; DPI, dp
Standard phone layout
Main view
- It's not an Android menu, but it's not too alien to Android users who've never used Stellarium; the text in the menu lets them know what the possibly obscure icons mean
- On the other hand, the icons are familiar to Stellarium users, are useful even without a translation, and the translucent design prevents obscuring the sky too much
- An Android-style menu would be a very tell-tale sign that the UI was originally developed for Android; this is less so, making it more appropriate for porting over to other OSs (this may be a flimsy justification, but eh)
- Still thinking about this. Do we cover the whole screen? Do we make it translucent? Do we bother with autocompletion right away?
Collapsed / mid-search
- But ought to be prettier than this (instead of a solid box, just an underline thing like most Android apps?)
After clicking the Search icon or pressing Return
- TODO. Cover whole screen
Button feedback
- long-press -> tooltip
- highlight
Object selected
Accelerometer mode
(yes, Spica has been moved for clarity)
- Have a faint circle (or telrad circles? Maybe remove the white circle if Telrad is enabled. This requires either that MobileGui knows about the oculars plugin, or the oculars plugin knows about MobileGui) around the center of the screen.
- When an object is selected, display its info in the infobox as usual. Around the circle, place an arrow pointing towards the object.
- Shows the userInfoBox by default.
- When an object is not selected, select the brightest object within the faint circle automatically, display its info in the infobox. The infobox will one button replacing the "deselect" and "center-on" buttons: something like a lock, to lock-in the highlighted object
User info box dialog
- dialog for userInfoBox (working title) settings; e.g., current RA/DEC, Lat/Long, FPS, FOV, etc.
See the Accelerometer Mode picture for an example of what the userInfoBox looks like, and the sorts of things it can display.
Sky dialog
A dialog with additional options; the sort of options that are available on the bottom bar on desktop Stellarium. This dialog should focus things you can see with your own eyes in the real sky, as well as labels for things you can see with your eyes. This classification ultimately comes down to an arbitrary decision; what's important is that everything isn't lumped into one category (too much scrolling), but that we also don't have too many categories (too many things for the user to guess, and too much space being taken up on the side bar).
As with standard Android dialogs, 'clicking' anywhere outside of the dialog, or pressing Back, will close it.
View dialog
Everything that doesn't fit under the arbitrary classification of "sky" goes in here. Yes, most things in here are also placed on the sky.
Plugins dialog
As the above two, but for plugins.
Date / time screen
Needs to be designed
Location screen
Needs to be designed
Settings screen
When changed to landscape orientation, little will change. The world viewport will remain in the orientation it was in before. Text will rotate by 90 degrees, as will button images (maybe). This is the same sort of thing that Google Sky and others do. The reason for not reorienting the entire app as most apps do primarily comes down to the accelerometer feature. If a user is using the accelerometer to look up at the sky, they may inadvertently change the app's orientation. Set up this way, the user will not lose sight of what they were looking at, the screen will not blank and refresh, and the controls will not change unexpectedly. This also greatly reduces the number of layouts we need to worry about.
Outdated mockups
Pull-down bar (old)
This is not a standard Android design metaphor. A normal-looking menu is below.
Normal menu is useless without translations. Normal menu also doesn't look like anything you'd get on Desktop Stellarium. On the other hand, the pull-down bar is inconsistent with other Android apps.

Biographical Note
Alice Hutchins was born in 1916, in Van Nuys, California. After studying history and economics at the University of California, Berkeley, she spent the late nineteen-thirties through the forties living in California, Virginia, Michigan, Washington, D.C. and Cairo, Egypt, with her husband and two children. Hutchins and her family settled in France in 1950, two years prior to the appearance in print of Harold Rosenberg's unabashedly anti-formalist celebration of the liberation of American art from the hegemony of School of Paris modernism. She returned to the United States and spent her last years, very active, in Southern California, and died there October 25, 2009.
Hutchins' interactive magnetic assemblages re-describe the spectator's role in the artistic process by inviting the receiver to alter her sculptural elements of ball bearings, screws, nuts, bolts, coils, cubes and cylinders at will. The artist's works and papers are housed under the auspices of Alternative Traditions in the Contemporary arts and provide important evidence about the inter-relationship among participants in the Paris avant-garde of the late 1960s and the New York Fluxus collective. A web site at which a number a number of Hutchins' art works can be viewed is maintained at www.alicehutchins.com (note that the site requires Macromedia Flash Player to view it).
Scope and Contents
In addition to a significant
number of works by Hutchins, the Alice Hutchins Collection consists 13
linear feet plus 4 oversize boxes of audio tapes, videotapes, exhibition
catalogues, photographs, articles, poster and show announcements, and various
documents and correspondence concerning the artist and her work, dating
from 1962-2003. Original works by Henri Chopin and Bernard Heidsieck are
also included in this collection. This
is an Alternative Traditions in Contemporary
Art collection.

The most important Sport Association in Gombin was no doubt MACCABI. But there were other associations, like Morgenstern (Jutrznia) and in recent years: Ha'poel Gombin.
The beginning belongs to Maccabi, which was founded, if I am not mistaken in 1921. Among the founders of Maccabi were Abram Zychlinski, the sons of Glass Stolcman, Teyfeld, Holcman, Baum and others.
The early activities of Maccabi centered in two sports groups: football (soccer) and gymnastics. The football team was very strong and popular in the surrounding shtetls. Except members, they had many fans, who, during any match, clapped their hands with enthusiasm and cheered the players with all their hearts. In the flourishing period, the team consists of the following players: Zeidman Benyamin, Szmaja Maintczik 2 , Herszek Stolczman, Ignesz Stolczman, Motel Pelka, Dawid Toyber, Abrahamele Stolcman, Israel Moshe Zolna, Icze Szreks, Dawid Hodys, Zelig Rochberger and Szmulik Luszinski.
In the reserve played: Szimon Toyber, Gerszon Klinger, Mendel Kilbert, Dan Tayfeld and Reuven Tayfeld. Of course that during the course of time the players changed. The senior left and youngsters appeared on the field. Later appeared very talented players as Arcze Tiber, Dawid Zychlinsky, Moshe Hodys and Moniek Laski. A great talent as the goalkeeper showed Benyamin Chaja 1.
The games at this periods were against amateur teams, and herewith are some examples:
Maccabi won the Christian football team Sokol 3:0. It was an exceptional victory, since in Sokol played professionals such as the brothers Stille, Frank Kopiczki and Bulek Mrozek. In spite of the fact that Sokol was a stronger team, Maccabi won and it raised a lot of joy among the fans and all the Jews of the Shtetl.
Since this occurrence, Maccabi didn't play for along time on the football field in Gombin, but in other towns, form fear of the Poles. This was the reason for it to become weak. The good players retired and Maccabi was not considered anymore to be the best in the neighborhood.
Maccabi had also a gymnastics team, which didn't excel specially and couldn't be compared to the brilliant gymnastic team of Jucznia 7 . So when there was a show of gymnastics, Maccabi invited the teams of Maccabi Plock and Wloclawek to participate instead of itself.
It is worthwhile mentioning that Maccabi had an independent wind instruments orchestra. The conductor was Moshe Hodys 8 . The orchestra had public concerts in the woods and in town. The concerts in the woods took place usually on Lag Ba'omer. Among the participants in the Maccabi orchestra were: Azriel Tatarka (played the Clarinet), Meir Zelig Kerber (played the lyric tenor), Tiber, Zychlinsky and Wruble.
In 1938, the football game strengthened once again and had important role to play. It attracted few of very good players like Benyamin Chaja, Moshe Grziwacz, Yosel Blawat, Szimon Spodek, Fajwisz Boll, Moniek Laski, Yankel'e Zolna, Mechle Ber and many others.
During this period and until the break of WWII, the team had many victories over Jewish teams from Gombin and the surrounding area.
When the Nazis conquered Gombin' only very few fled to the Soviet USSR. Most of the members shared the same terrible fate as all the Jewry of Poland.
Parallel to Maccabi, the Bund's Sport organization: JUTRZNIA was very active in the sport life of the shtetl. It had 2 teams as well: football and gymnastics.
The gymnastic team was excellent. They had few good coaches: Kroy in the beginning, and later: Abram Frenkel. The Jutrznia made a few public shows under the slogan: In healthy body - healthy spirit. The welcome message they used to have was: New-Free - Strong-Faithful (frish - frei - stark - trei).
The football team of Jutrznia played only amateurs games. It was not a strong team, but very ambitious. I remember the names of their players: Somel Szczerb, Hersz Natan Zeidman, Fajwisz Gurker, Szlomo Blawat, Chaim Gurker, Zalman Klinger, Moshe Schwarcz, Moshe Tipiel, Israel Stupai and Lazer Kuczinski.
I remember a game between the two Gombiner groups: Maccabi and Jutrznia. Maccabi won 3:1, while it appeared with its strongest team. Most of the members of Juczinia shared the destiny of their brothers in Poland and perished in the Holocaust, except very few who survived. All the others were killed by the hands of the Nazi murderers.

Kenny Chesney's upcoming album now officially has a name, and longtime fans of the singer will be able to guess exactly where he got the inspiration. It'll be called Life On A Rock, and will hit streets April 30.
The name, of course, alludes to Chesney's fondness for the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he maintains a residence. "Just living here on this planet, we're all living life on a rock; but for me, and for this record, it's about the way life is when you live on an island," the singer confirms. "Everywhere you go, there's everyone you know; you know everything about them, and they know everything about you...and well, that's just a whole other way to be."
Chesney's new set, which marks his 16th studio release, will have 10 songs—8 of which he wrote himself—and it was recorded and mixed in a variety of places, including Los Angeles, Hawaii, Jamaica, Key West, London and Nashville. The lead-off single from the project, "Pirate Flag," will be released to radio on Friday.
The country superstar announced initial dates for his No Shoes Nation 2013 tour in November. The stadium trek, which starts in March, will cross the country through the end of summer. Check here to see when he'll be in your neck of the woods.
