Seminar is the latest work from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck. The production premiered on Broadway on November 20, 2011, starring Alan Rickman as Leonard. The show closed May 6, 2012, after nearly six months of successful performances. Check out the selection of Seminar tickets above.
In Seminar, four amateur novelists sign up for a private writing class with a world renowned literary genius named Leonard, each hoping to take away a few tips and tricks from their famous teacher to help jumpstart their own career. What these four novelists don't expect is that although Leonard is undeniably brilliant, his teaching methods are reckless and far from orthodox. The students find themselves being pitted against one another, making alliances that are quickly broken and playing with each other's hearts and emotions. You can see which novelists thrive and which novelists flounder under Leonard's teaching when you purchase your Seminar tickets!

Here's the deal. My brother is shooting and reloading for his Sig P239 in .40 S&W. Load is 4.2 gr of Win 231 (this is starting load in Lymans 47th edition) behind a 200 gr Gold Dot (if I remember right), using Federal primers. The problem is that it is definately flattening the primers. He tried 4.0 gr. of W231, and it wouldn't even cycle the action. No other signs of overpressure, but he is very concerned. Factory ammo does not have this problem. He's using a mild taper crimp, and it fits fine into the headspace and OAL gauge. Any ideas as to what's happening here?

There could be several things to look into.
First of all a flattened primer may be an over pressure indicator, but not necessarily.
A 200 gr jacketed bullet is not usually loaded for .40 S&W, 10mm yes. Check the OAL, it should be a tad longer than, say, a 180 JHP. If he is seating the 200 grainer in so that it fits a standard .40 S&W OAL gauge, he might be seating it too deep. I don't have any bullets of that type to check so I'm not sure they will even fit in the magazine with the correct OAL.
The powder load may actually be too small instead of too large causing the OP. This might be a case of the bullet sliding out to the lands and stopping, pressure builds over max and the bullet takes off. This happens in rifles more than pistols.
Don't use a "mild" crimp, use a good solid taper crimp.

I run wst in a 200gr bullet for 40cal and my load is much hotter than 4.2 gr and experience no pressure signs. I would check overall legnth and my crimp. Have you shot the loads in any other gun with the same results? Check your scale to make sure you are accurate on your powder charge. I would runs an oal of @ 1.125 to 1.150 depending upon what your mags will take.

I was wrong, it's 180gr Gold Dot. Here is the actual email that I received from him.
"I'm using 4.2 grains of 231, Federal small pistol primers, Speer Gold Dot 180
grain JHP bullets, and I'm loading to the maximum overall length of 1.135". If
I go down to 4.0 grains, the action doesn't cycle reliably."
I've heard that Federal primers are softer than other brands. Could this be the cause?

Bill, first of all you might ask your friend where he got that particular load, was it from Lyman's? Because they don't list the 180 GD. The 190 gr JHP they have there does have an OAL of 1.135 and 4.2 W231 is the starting load. This load does not mean you can use it for the 180 GD. You cannot take the OAL spec given for one bullet and use it for another. The bullet shapes may be completely different and the resulting case capacity may be too much or, even worse, too little. He may be creating a bomb, not a safe cartridge with that practice.
Speer #13 unfortunately doesn't list W231 for the 180 GD. But the starting load for the 165 GD is 5.8 gr. So the starting load for the 180 would be less than that. I won't give you my estimate, because that may be as dangerous as what he is doing. He could go to a different powder, many of which are listed. Or he could use Sierra's recommendation of 4.4 gr as a starting point for a 180 JHP. That fits nicely with Lyman's 4.2 gr for a 190 JHP and 4.6 gr for a 170 JHP so it sounds like a good start.
Speer #13 lists the OAL for the 180 GD as 1.120.
I think my advice about the small powder load may still be the case. And be sure to tell him to use a good taper crimp, but don't go overboard. You might want to ask him what a "mild" crimp is.

Bill in NM,
Another thing that you might try is switching to either CCI or Winchester primers.
Federal primers have the softest cup metal of the three. They are excellent primers and I us them exclusively, but not in maximum loads. In my experience they will start to flatten out at a lower pressure.
Anyway, it's something to try.

I just dropped off a box of Winchester Small Pistol primers for him to try. He's also checking with Speer for a correct OAL. I'm going to try a box of his Federal SP primers in one of my loads to see if I start flattening them.
As far as the crimp goes, he says the he used a dial caliper to set it to what the book says.
He's already concerned about overpressure. Wouldn't rifle primers increase pressure?
I'm trying to get him to register here so that he can talk to you directly, but not sure if he will or not.
Thanks for all the help/suggestions.

Right you are Bill.
CrowShooter, I hope you meant Win Small Pistol primers.
I'm not sure you guys are listening. Bill if your friend has a high pressure problem, and the jury is still out on that, why would you want to mask it? Find out what is causing it first before changing primers. There is nothing wrong with Fed. primers. Maybe it's good that they are a little softer, they will show up pressure problems more readily.

First of all, thank you for the ideas and information. I will pass along the 1.120 OAL spec to him. This may be the problem, as it looks like he's 0.015 over spec.
For the record, same brother also had some 200gr lead bullets loaded with 4.5gr of W231 (per Winchester loading guide, min is 4.2gr, max is 5.5gr)that showed same primer flattening. This is the only indication of possible overpressure. I really don't think that there is an overpressure problem, but I've only been reloading for about a year and I'm not about to tell ANYONE that "a flattened primer is OK, just go ahead and load 'er up". That's why I'm here trying to get information. That's also why I brought home a box of his Federal primers to test in my known good load. Unfortunately, I don't have a .40S&W gun, so I'll have to test them in my 9mm, which may or may not tell us anything. I'll post report on the primer swap when I have any info.
Thanks again for all the help. I'm always willing and eager to listen to someone elses ideas/suggestions.

Got a little input on flattened primers. I've been shooting .400 Cor-Bon through my G21 for some time now. Have been using CCI Magnum L.P.P., with fine results. Loaded up a hundred or so with the same powder charge, bullet, and o.a.l., but with regular CCI L.P.P. The regular primers were flattened pretty badly; the magnum primers, nicely rounded. I'm not shootin nearly a max load. Probably half the pressureof that of .40 S&W.
Shoot to kill; they'll stop when they're dead!

Well, I thought his post said that it was a starting load and that the OAL is in spec. So, if that is true, then it sounds like the primers COULD be the culprit. In other words, what I heard was that the load should be light, and he is having pressure signs. Does the Sig have to use ammo as short as he lists? BTW, a small rifle primer will usually only mask pressure when used in conjunction with a longer firing pin, like when you use an overlength FP in a 1911. Without the long FP, if the pressure is actually there, you will still see it. Just something to try, not saying that it is the cure. That's why my post said: TRY WSR primers. I can interchange WSR and WSP in my P-16 and see only about 2-3 fps difference across the chrono, so I don't think the rifle primers are increasing pressure.

Well, I loaded up 20 rounds of 9mm with the his Federal primers with no apparent flattening. I have passed along all info to him. He hasn't had a chance to load up any more since my passing info to him, so don't have any other info at this time.
Thanks again, will keep you posted.

Primers for pressure indicators are of some use but I noticed that the reloader had a dial caliper for checking overall length. He should be able to use this to check for case expansion. Check some factory ammo cases from the same gun and then check the 4.0 load of 231 and the 4.2 load of 231 cases to see if the case expansion is greater than the factory cases.
do a search for 40 cal and case expansion for what other people are reporting for that caliber.

bib2xhtml is a program that converts BibTeX files into HTML (specifically, XHTML 1.0). The conversion is mostly done by specialized BibTeX style files, derived from a converted bibliography style template. This ensures that the original BibTeX styles are faithfully reproduced. Some post-processing is performed by Perl code. This is an update of the bib2html program written by David Hull in 1996 and maintained by him until 1998.
|Software Development Documentation Internet Web Site Management Text Processing Markup HTML/XHTML
|Operating Systems
|OS Independent
Release Notes: This version provides a new -R option that allows you to number entries from bottom to top, adds a -B option that allows you to specify the name or path of the BibTeX executable, creates valid XHTML blockquote elements when producing abstracts, and removes an obsolete (and soon to be deprecated) dependency on ctime.pl.
Release Notes: This version adds an option to highlight a specified author name, improves chronological ordering, adds support for \href appearing in bibliography entries, and fixes a few bugs. In addition, in response to an increased number of invocation options, the project's home page now supports the interactive display of formatting examples.
Release Notes: A new "paragraph" option allows the program to create plain HTML paragraphs, without any bullets or numbering.
Release Notes: Changes were made to make the generated documents pass XHTML validators. Specifically, this version drops the deprecated compact dl attribute and escapes XML-special characters appearing in URLs and DOIs. In addition, the program will operate better when the PDF::API2 module is not available and will correctly handle cross references containing tildes.
Release Notes: This version adds an option for specifying how extended file information is displayed. This can be used for including PDF file icons or providing more descriptive names. In addition, it provides support for counting and listing the number of pages in PDF documents, and documents a previously undocumented option for specifying the file path to URL mappings.
Fixed in version 2.35.
Hi all,
Here's how I'm invoking bib2xhtml.
bib2xhtml -s alpha -m IEEEabrv -u -c -r -i -d journal -e "${info_str}" ritesh_pubs.bib publications/pub_list.html
The file pub_list.html contains inline citations, and the option "-m IEEEabrv" is to include the BibTeX macro file IEEEabrv.bib.
Problem is that bib2xhtml doesn't seem to handle the macro file properly. I would get errors of the sort "ieee_j_mm not defined"; and the abbreviation is very much defined in IEEEabrv.bib. So I traced that to line 874 of bib2xhtml:
Instead of
push(@citations, "\\bibdata{$bibfile}");
It should be
push(@citations, "\\bibdata{$macrofile$bibfile}");
Also, note that while the .bib extension is explicit in the bibfile, if you give the macro file with a .bib extension, you will get an error. So we have some sort of an inconsistency here. Since the .bib extension in bibfile seems unavoidable (this is how we differentiate b/w a .bib and a .aux file) it would be better to insist that the macro file have the .bib extension also.
Thanks a lot to the author for the wonderful program :)

Students Compete to Control Floating Space Station Robots
It's not on commercial television, nor are the teams of high school students ranked weekly by the sports media.
Yet the competition is intense as student teams sponsored by NASA and the European Space Agency and their respective partners compete for the opportunity to have their software algorithms control a trio of brightly colored satellite robots as they float about inside the International Space Station.
The annual SPHERES Zero Robotics competition is facilitated by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology led team of engineers to offer students real "hands on" space experience.
While not broadcast commercially, the latest "finals" competition of Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 aboard the International Space Station's Japanese Kibo science module is archived in a web cast.
NASA astronauts Kevin Ford, the station's current commander, and Tom Marshburn, a medical doctor, were part of the action. A collection of experts at MIT and at ESA in Norway explain the purpose of the competition as well as provide the play by play in the long running web cast.
The competition is based on the premise that future spacecraft will rely increasingly on sophisticated software to carry out autonomous docking activities or deal with the growing hazard of orbital space debris. Software changes, like the algorithms developed by the students, will permit future spacecraft to improve their performance or change their missions altogether.
As a consequence, students are challenged to develop fuel saving and collision avoidance maneuvers.
The three Synchronized Position Hold Engage Reorient Experimental Satellites serve as the contest spacecraft in the final phase of the four levels of competition.
Just as in real life engineering, students prepare competing proposals, carry out 2 and 3-D demonstrations, then test their strategies in ground-based simulations. The final stage is the ISS-based competition.
Win or lose, student contestants gain valuable skills in problem solving; thought process; operational training, team work; and presentation skills.
This year, Zero Robotics plans to extend the competition to Middle School students.

XJ XJ XJ Cherokee Cheap Mods XJ XJ XJ
Others are welcome to contribute, but please... POST PICTURES!!! Or... PM me & I'll post the pictures (don't worry, I'll be sure to put your name on it, so people know it was your idea & not mine).
Note: Remember these should be cheap mods.
I would start with Balloo93's cardomain site [includes: transmission cooler install, hitch install, DIY bored TB, corner light covers, & cool air intake].
These are threads already covering XJ cheap mods. In order of importance/usefulness (IMO):
1) oil catch can for blowby by xj4play
2) idea thread (no writeups) [rear swaybar removal, fender trimming, Balloo93's page again]
3) http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/favorite-do-yourself-trick-mod-151428/
4) http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/cool-simple-mods-73114/
Mods for any Jeep (mostly single posts, rather than a whole thread to read thru):
1) [tie down tabs] http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=66
Cold Air Box (pics, too)
3 Attachment(s)
This is my interpretation of a cold airbox. Cost~$10
Cold airbox prevents underhood hot air from making intake air excessively warm--cooler air=more horsepower, better throttle response, (maybe) better gas mileage. For more info about cold air, see this link, this link, and the place where I got the idea, this link
EDIT: Marcus has added his interpretation of a cold airbox to his "Go Jeep" website: Marcus' airbox insulation (scroll down a little, past the manifold heat shield).
EDIT2: I should add that some of the tape is coming off my airbox--the 'shielding' isn't exactly permanent, the way I've done it. Marcus' version is faster, easier, and simpler to maintain, I suspect.
EDIT3: a version by 00xj54, removing the airbox & using a cone filter + heat shield.
-one roll of noninsulated thermal tape (thin strip-aluminum with sticky backing) from Home Depot [heating/air cond (HVAC) section of the store]
-one roll of insulated thermal tape from Home Depot (aluminum foil backed with foam) [same section of the store]
-smallish (10" x 6") piece of (flexible) windshield sunshade/exhaust wrap/heat shielding
-3 medium-length zip ties
-tin snips to cut the aluminum tape
You need not use both kinds of thermal tape. The foam-backed stuff insulates better, but the aluminum tends to detach itself from the foam. I used the regular aluminum tape to reinforce the insulated stuff.
1) remove airbox, clean it thoroughly, cut pieces of aluminum tape to fit shape of airbox (time consuming--probably 1 hr.), then reinstall airbox
2) remove & clean air hose between throttlebody & airbox, then reinstall
3) wrap piece of sunshade/exhaust wrap/heat shielding around the air tube, & secure with zip ties
I didn't use tape on the air tube b/c tape would not stick to it. The wrapping I used was some stuff I saw fall off another guy's exhaust on the street one day (I tried to catch up to him, but he got on the highway, so I went back & picked up the exhaust wrap, & I still have some of it today :D ). Some guys use a cut-up sunshade to cover the whole airbox, but I thought it would get in the way of the clips that hold the lid on, & the little CCV tube, so I used tape, which can be cut to a more precise shape--but it takes much longer to do. Pics:
**My favorite** Intake Manifold Heatshield
1 Attachment(s)
This was probably the second or third mod I did after I bought my XJ, & it is the one that has produced the most perceptible result. Here is the website where I first got the idea (pics on this site--I'll post my own pics later): http://www.angelfire.com/my/fan/manifold.html.
Cost~$25 or a little less (the way I did it).
-roll of thermal shielding: Thermo-Tec, part number #THE-13575 from SummitRacing ($17.88 at time of this writing, excluding shipping costs). Or, you could fab a shield out of sheetmetal if you have some, like GoJeep did. I prefer the flexible stuff, because you can just jam it in under the manifold--with the sheetmetal, you have to remove the airbox & possibly some other parts just to get it in there.
-metal strapping kit [see picture] (in the exhaust section at AutoZone & other stores)--maybe $3.00? Or, go the route that Dino took (which will double the cost of this mod), & buy Thermo-Tec's strapping kit from Summit Racing ($18.88 at time of this writing).
-one or two screws with washer & nut (should come with the metal strapping kit if you get the same one I did [see picture])
-tin snips (to cut the metal strapping to length)
1) follow the link to GoJeep's intake shield to see the shape & dimensions you need to cut the heat shield to (in millimeters) [I'll update this with the figure in inches later]
2) shove the heatshield in underneath the air intake manifold--if you cut it right, it will probably stay there without any support, but
3) to secure it, you should strap it to the intake manifold by means of the metal strapping--run the strap underneath the manifold, cut it to the right length with tin snips, & use the nut & screw to secure the ends of the strap.
Fire Extinguisher
First, an article on the why and how of using an extinguisher in a trail vehicle.
And a thread on fire experiences/tips.
Small extinguishers are cheap ($10) & will come with a mounting bracket. You have to decide where to place it though.
Other parts/supplies: 1 screw, 1 nut (no larger than #10 x 1/2"--I bought a $0.99 packet of [8] #10-32 x 1/2" screws & nuts f/Home Depot), and a screwdriver. If you are not mounting it where I did, you'll want beefier screws, but the bracket on my extinguisher wouldn't have taken anything larger than a #10 anyway.
Generally speaking, you want to be able to get to the extinguisher quickly (obviously), so take that into consideration when you're looking for places to mount it. But you also have to mount it securely--the bracket that comes with it won't keep it in place if you get into a car accident!!... unless you mount it under a seat, in which case you might get away with just using the bracket, though a zip tie around the bottom of the extinguisher wouldn't hurt (bracket usually holds the extinguisher from the top, but not from the bottom--when you need it, yank it from the top & it will slip out of the zip tie at the bottom).
The most popular location is under the left side of the driver's seat--easy to get to quickly, & tucked out of the way. Courtesy of BlueGerbil: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showp...65&postcount=4
I couldn't do this b/c of my leather seats (they're shaped differently than the cloth seats--no room under there). I didn't want it in the cargo area, lest it break loose & smash some thing or person. So, I put it under the rear seat, which, handily, has a cross brace with mounting holes already available. This is under the rear seat, driver's side (the tire jack takes up room on the passenger side) & you can see the holes in the cross brace, which I used to mount the extinguisher:
Here it is installed (the thing on top is my WalMart 0/2-guage jumper cables, so you can see there's room for more):

Yeah, I'd have to say I wouldn't personally mount it in the back (unless you box it up or put it behind the spare tire, or something so it won't get loose in an accident...).

One I forgot earlier: switching to a larger oil filter for (possibly) better filtration, and 1/2 qt. - 1 qt. greater oil capacity. The explanation/writeup is here, courtesy of MadXJ.com: http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical...Conversion.htm
All you do is buy a larger filter with the right threading to match the OEM filter. The NAPA filter part number is 1515. Mobil1 filter part number M1-301. The Bosch filter number is 3500. Not sure about other filter brands, but see the linked article for more info.
Doesn't cost any more than the usual filter. Falls into the "why not?" category.

Headlight Wiring Harness
Haven't done this one yet, myself, so this is all borrowed.
The stock XJ wiring harness is quite inefficient. Owners report 2 volts less power at the lights than what should be there. Also, owners who upgrade to Hella, IPF, or Cibie H4 headlight housings/bulbs are sometimes disappointed, if they haven't also upgraded their wiring harness. The stock wiring just doesn't pump enough juice, and may even fail when used with high-powered bulbs. Purchasing a harness can be expensive, so several forum members/users have made their own--usually for around $50.00.
in no particular order...
1) DefaZ's diagram, writeup, and genesis (see p. 2 for pic of relay mounting location). I've linked the diagram separately because the link in the original writeup is now broken. I've also attached it to the bottom of this post.
2) Patrick Norton's pair of writeups (with pics) on the harness and headlight upgrade: page 1, & page 2.
3) GoJeep's headlight loom upgrade--parts list, diagram, and pics.

ELYRIA — The men and women who protect and serve were served Monday.
Lunch was on the Olive Garden for police officers. Since 2002, the restaurant chain has been delivering free meals to firefighters, hospital workers and police. The deliveries were a way to show appreciation after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, said Cindy Chapman, manager of the Elyria Olive Garden, 1635 West River Road, N.
Chapman said the restaurant alternates between serving firefighters and police each year.
"It's just to give back to the community for the folks who are putting their lives on the line to keep the community safe," she said.
Meals were delivered nationwide by more than 800 Olive Garden restaurants, according to a news release. The release said the deliveries were part of an "ongoing commitment" of the company to the communities it serves.
The meals in Elyria included breadsticks, lasagna, spaghetti with marinara sauce, salad and a dessert of tiramisu. Police were grateful.
"They bring us a ton of food," police Lt. Ron Juncker said. "They're really good to us."

As for who wins immunity, I'll guess Cyndi. You know, just because she went last.
Well, first guess is wrong. Jon wins immunity.
Ja'Nel is pissed that he won the challenge.
Typical arrogance and anger by the others after they lose a challenge on this show.
And as usual, Zach is talking utter bull. Can't wait for him to go...

Regional Reviews: Philadelphia
Henry V
The teacher (Nick Martorelli) serves as the play's Chorus, and his eight students (four males and four females) play all the other roles. These students are wearing standard prep school attireblue blazers, grey sweaters, red necktiesbut with just a few slight changes in costume, they're able to transform convincingly into knights, princes and soldiers. On a whiteboard on the classroom wall, the teacher has written "All parts assigned at top of class - Be Prepared!" But you won't need any preparation to enjoy the inventive wit that fills every scene of director Aaron Cromie's production.
Waitis there actually wit in Henry V, that blood-soaked, war-obsessed "Once more unto the breach" play? Yes, as unlikely as it seems, for Cromie's concept makes this centuries-old play seem fresh. Consider the scene in which the Bishop of Canterbury explains the "Salique Law," which gives King Henry the justification to invade France. In this version, the long and confusing speech is turned into a comedy sketch, as the Bishop (Amanda Bernhardt, in a droll performance) pulls out an overhead projector and tosses pictures of dozens of kings onto the glass to illustrate her points. This amplifies the absurdity of the speech and shows just how dubiousand dangerousHenry's quest for power is.
Sometimes the comedic approach goes too far, such as in the scene where the Battle of Agincourt is fought with lacrosse sticks, tennis racquets and paper airplanes. It's far too flippant a treatment of a battle which actually took place, costing thousands of men their lives. But for the most part, Cromie's concept works well.
Unfortunately, the acting isn't quite as strong as the concept deserves. The young cast is made up of students from the theatre's Classical Acting Academy (who have taken a six week long intensive course in classical acting techniques). They all have strong voices, and they nimbly move from character to character and emotion to emotion. As Henry, Michael Gregory is impressive: he oozes menace in his cold stare when he threatens traitors, and he conveys touching doubts in his soliloquy on the eve of battle. But when he delivers the famous St. Crispian's day speech to inspire his troops ("We few, we happy few, we band of brothers"), there's nothing inspirational about his delivery. This Henry should be intimidating, but in Cromie's version, he's just one of the guys, wearing a backpack and a backwards-turned baseball cap. When the Chorus is more of an authority figure than King Henry, something's out of kilter. The same problem affects much of the cast: they try to give their characters a sense of majesty and significance, but their youth works against them.
Still, what the cast lacks in dramatic heft it more than makes up for in raw talent and youthful energy. They really make Cromie's audacious concept work, and they make this old story surprisingly exciting. You may think you know Henry Vmaybe you even learned it in prep school yourselfbut when you see this production, you'll never know what's coming next.
Henry V runs through August 15, 2010, at The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre, 2111 Sansom Street. Tickets are free on a first come, first served basis, available at the Box Office three hours before curtain each day. For more information, call the Box Office at (215) 496-8001 or visit phillyshakespeare.org.

Arts, Briefly; The Yiddish Mohicans
By ROBERT SIMONSON; Compiled by Lawrence Van Gelder
Published: October 21, 2005
When the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater decided to revive its 1980's hit ''On Second Avenue'' this year, casting Mike Burstyn was an easy decision. He speaks Yiddish and knows many of the old songs and routines in the show, a tribute to New York's onetime Yiddish rialto. He ought to: his parents were Pesach Burstein and Lillian Lux, two of the leading lights of that vanished scene. The six-week run at the Jewish Community Center on the Upper West Side was enough of a success for Folksbiene to bring the show back for two more months, beginning tomorrow. If Mr. Burstyn's family didn't mark him for a life in the theater, his birthplace did: he grew up at 156 Second Avenue, at 10th Street, the building now anchored by the Second Avenue Deli and bordered by the Yiddish Theater Walk of Fame. (Mother, father and son all have stars.) ''I want to support the Folksbiene as much as I can because it's the last of the Mohicans,'' he said. ''It's been in existence for 90 years. It's the only game in town.'' ROBERT SIMONSON

7 NYC mayoral candidates field questions at forum
Seven candidates vying to be mayor of the nation's largest city fielded questions Tuesday night over how they'd steer its mammoth education system, answering inquiries from how to retain the best teachers to whether to impose a merit pay system.
The candidates' differences were sometimes split along party lines. The four Democrats at the forum said they don't support merit pay for teachers, while the three Republicans said they do. The event was sponsored by the Daily News and Metro IAF, a network of 150 religious institutions, housing and tenant groups.
The Democratic candidates attending were City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, Comptroller John Liu and former Comptroller Bill Thompson. The Republican attendees were former Deputy Mayor Joe Lhota, Gristedes chairman and chief executive John Catsimatidis, and publisher Tom Allon.
Held at Central Synagogue in Manhattan, the packed event was the second of three forums sponsored by the partnership and one of several that have brought the candidates together to spell out their agendas. Candidates took questions from a variety of New Yorkers: a student, a teacher, a parent, a principal and a rabbi.
"There is no reason why teachers are all treated identical," Lhota said of teacher pay. "It should be based on performance. It should be based on how difficult the subject matter is."
Quinn said teachers have been maligned by politicians.
"I've heard far too often from teachers that they feel that they've been vilified, and we need to stop that," she said, adding that she supports a mentoring program that would pair experienced teachers with first- and second-year teachers.
De Blasio promised to empower parents and provide full-day instruction for 3- and 4-year-old preschoolers. "As mayor, I would like to be held accountable for reducing class size," he said.
Allon said he favors selling "air rights" in publicly owned buildings to developers in exchange for building more classrooms.
The event was not without demonstrations. A dozen protesters outside said Quinn doesn't deserve to be mayor. They held signs, one with Quinn seeming to kiss Michael Bloomberg, reminding voters of Quinn's support of the mayor's efforts to change the term limit law, which allowed him to run for a third term.

Excalibur: A Kingly Smoke at Pauper's Prices
Ronald Johnson on 11/01/15
Excalibur JR Alternative is an outstanding cigar for the price; I have paid much, much more for so called "premium" cigars and have found this cigar far exceeds other touted brands that will empty your wallet and leave you wondering what happened to outstanding affordable smokes at a fair price. The Excalibur is a mellow, nutty smoke yet Maduro rich in flavor, each tobacco blade offering a smooth draw, though I have had a few burn unevenly, but only a FEW. No problem: I just flame the uneven end, and the rest of the cigar is pure Havana bliss. Excalibur's construction is outstanding, again much better than cigars costing far more. I have not found a hard drawing cigar among the one hundred or so I have smoked so far. Excalibur is an apt name for this marvelous tobacco blade: King Arthur would think it is a kingly smoke. Don't ransom the kingdom for more expensive cigars if what you seek is a gem of smoking adventure offered at pauper's prices.

ORLANDO, Fla. - From butterbeer to the jumping chocolate frog to those eerie extendable ears, the magic will cast a spell on you at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
However, even the most committed Potterphiles may find the theme park a devil of a destination without advice for navigating the exotic world of Harry, whose commemorative theme park opened June 18 to Hogwarts-sized crowds.
That's because the theme park offers an immersive experience, one that extends the illusions created in J.K. Rowling's books and movies. Nowhere is the commitment more evident than in the people who work at the park, who pretend that everything is real.
In the same way that Rowling weaves utterly believable characters out of threads of fantasy, so, too, does the park pull off its re-creation of Hogsmeade, the wizard village by Hogwarts castle, and the towering castle itself. That also means no signs are posted to explain things, including the fact that Ollivanders wand shop is not where you go to buy wands. (Visitors enter, two dozen at a time, to allow one lucky person to be matched to a magical wand.)
Before you venture into such a mind-bending destination, you will, of course, need a few tips. So, here's a Potter-driven survival guide to save time, money, testy tempers and scores of dementorlike nightmares.
DO YOU HAVE TO BE A HARRY FAN? Rides, shops and quaint entertainment can charm even those unfamiliar with Potter. The sight of the steaming Hogwarts train and the "snow-capped" Hogsmeade village brought Potterphiles to tears of joy on our visit as they found themselves inside a tangible version of the world they had so long imagined.
AVOIDING CROWDS: We found Harry's new world much more manageable during the off-peak days of early October, when our Potteresque journey began at Universal's Islands of Adventure park. The keepers of Harry's flame expect big crowds again during Thanksgiving and Christmas-New Year's. When you go is hugely important in avoiding a crush of visitors.
The 20-acre Wizarding World, nestled within the 120 acres of Universal's Islands of Adventure, contains three rides, the most astonishing of which is Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Wizarding World also has five shops full of Harry goodies, some of which carry outrageously high prices, the Three Broomsticks restaurant and Hogs Head pub. It's a no-brainer to say that you should take in the interactive experience of Ollivanders and the Forbidden Journey ride first, because together they're more popular than anything at the park.
Anticipating the crunch of crowds, Ann Flood, 56, of Florence, Ore., and daughters Jenn Turner, 32, of Hamilton, Mont., and Karen Nichols, 31, of Menifee, Calif., did a smart thing by booking the cheapest of three on-site hotels, the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, which gave them up to 90 minutes of early access to Wizarding World before the rest of the park opened.
By staying on-site, their room keys doubled as Universal Express Plus passes, a value of up to $88 per person per day, giving them fast access to most attractions (except the superpopular Forbidden Journey and Ollivanders). They didn't have to worry about transportation or parking, because hotels offer free water taxis from hotel to park every 15 to 20 minutes.
The catch, of course, is that on-site hotels are more expensive. Yet, if your budget allows it, the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, modeled after an Italian coastal town, is an easy recommendation. Others favor the Hard Rock, where music is piped underwater in the swimming pool.
TAKING THE RIDES: Of the three rides, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is an absolute must for those 48 inches and taller, provided your child will be more thrilled than frightened to fly beside Harry in a Quidditch match and face off against dragons, giant spiders and dementors. There's nothing scary about the queue, however. All ages can follow the winding halls of the castle to marvel at scenes and objects from the books and movies.
If you have two adults per child, use the child swap option at the end of the queue. It allows one parent to take the ride, determining its suitability for the child, while the other waits in a room with the child. If the returning adult thinks the child can handle it, the other adult can walk on the ride with the child without having to stand in the line again. If the ride is deemed too intense for the child, the parent who has done the ride can exit or wait with the child while the other adult rides.
Dragon Challenge, aimed at roller-coaster thrill-seekers, requires a 54-inch minimum height. It features two trains, the Chinese Fireball and the Hungarian Horntail, which intertwine, take you upside down and appear destined to collide. You see the most from the front row, but the last row in each coaster is the most exciting because it gives you the greatest sense of an imminent crash.
The most kid-friendly ride, Flight of the Hippogriff, has a 36-inch height requirement.
QUEUES YOU CAN USE: Is your child a Potter fan, but too small or too frightened for the rides? Take them on the queues, which usher you into a journey deep inside the world of Harry Potter - and gently remind you where to exit to avoid the ride itself.
The best queue is at Forbidden Journey, which offers talking portraits of the four never-before-seen House founders, arguing with one another about the Muggles in their midst, and talking holograms of Dumbledore, Harry, Ron and Hermione (emerging from under Harry's Invisibility Cloak). If you've done the queues and want to go straight to the rides, another time-saving strategy is to use the single-riders line. Although you may not get to sit next to the person you want, you avoid a line that could easily take hours.
CONSIDERING PRICES: In this park, you can quickly exhaust your galleons. There's an all-too-convenient ATM labeled Gringott's near the restroom. Be aware that lines for the shops (Honeydukes, Zonko's, The Owl Post, Dervish and Banges and Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods) are often longer than the meandering human chains waiting for rides. But where else can you hold in your hands items you've only read about or seen in the movies? These include a selection of two dozen wands, at about $30 each.
Butterbeer, a nonalcoholic drink approved by Rowling, is the most sought-after concession. It ranges from $3.25 to $11.71 in a souvenir cup. It tastes a little like cream soda with a hint of butterscotch. The thick foam head has a meringuelike quality and sticks to the upper lip. It is sold regular and frozen. Both are good, but most visitors prefer the frozen; the regular has more carbonation.
The nicely spiced pumpkin juice and the lighter carbonated pumpkin fizz range from $3.19 to $10.64. Chocolate frogs, which include a wizard card and do not jump (alas) like the one in the window, cost $9.95. Caldron cakes are $3.95.
The popular wizard robes, lined with colors of each house (with an inner pocket for your wand) carry a hefty $100 price tag. For $400 - yes, $400 - you can buy a wizard chess set. A Firebolt broomstick runs $300 (a child's plastic version, $32.95).
What's the best deal? Mail postcards from the Owlery, which gives you a Hogsmeade postmark.
A key savings tip is to carry your AAA card, which gives you 10 percent off most merchandise and restaurants.
If you don't want to be weighed down by all the robes, wands, brooms and Marauders Maps you buy, shops will deliver them to your on-site hotel room.
If you aren't staying on park property, have your goods delivered (also free) to the Trading Company shop near the Islands' exit so you can pick up your loot on the way out.
NOT TO BE MISSED: The shops are small and dark, as they are in the films and books. You can have a swell time just walking and marveling at the windows where Mandrakes scream and bludgers strain against their chains, while a golden snitch soars overhead. Don't miss the owl that pops out and hoots from the clock tower on top of the Owlery every 15 minutes. Also a must is seeing the Frog Choir in which Hogwarts students perform (with puppet frogs) outdoors in the square across from the castle, alternating with the Triwizard Spirit Rally, where students from Beauxbatons dance and Durmstrang students show off acrobatic battle moves. Make sure to go to the bathroom at least once to hear the voice of Moaning Myrtle.
FOOD FRENZY: Fans can down a proper English breakfast (or American favorites) or, later in the day, a lunch of shepherd's pie, fish and chips, or chicken and ribs at the Three Broomsticks, where shadows flicker on the walls. The Three Broomsticks flows into Hogs Head Pub, where drinks, including real beer and its signature brew, are served.
Fresh fruit, including grapes, apples, oranges and fruit cups are sold outdoors. No sodas are sold in Wizarding World. If you bring a water bottle, refill it for free at a fountain in the center of Hogsmeade square.
TAKE A BREAK: The outdoor Owlery has benches and wooden rafters, complete with animatronic owls, to shield you from Florida's sun and humidity. If you have very young kids, consider exiting the Wizarding World to take a breather at Seuss Landing and Jurassic Park, where kids can climb and explore or take cool refuge in the indoor, air-conditioned Jurassic Park Discovery Center.
DRESS FOR SUCCESS: If you own Potter robes, wear them. Shopkeepers love it, people may ask to take their pictures with you and it might (no promises) increase your chances of becoming one of the rare few selected for a wand test at Ollivanders.
GETTING AROUND: You don't need a car if you stay on site, which means you also don't have to pay the daily parking fee, which can run up to $15 a day ($20 a day for an RV). A free water taxi takes you from your hotel to the Universal complex. Boats depart every 15 to 25 minutes from 90 minutes before the park opens to as late as 2 a.m. for all the CityWalk activities.
PACKAGE DEALS: Many of the guests we interviewed had booked the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Vacation Package. The cost of $1,569 for a family of four includes four nights at one of the three Universal Orlando on-site resorts, three days of admission to Universal Studios and the Islands of Adventure park, Universal Express access for each guest, 60- to 90-minute early admission to the Potter park, breakfast at the Three Broomsticks and a commemorative ticket.
Note: There are no free shuttles from the airport to the hotels. If you aren't renting a car, the best deal for your family depends on how many you have in your group and where you are staying. A shuttle charges per person; once you have three people, consider a taxi with a flat rate, which is usually cheaper.
HOTELS' AMENITIES: Each on-site hotel has outdoor pools with special features. Each offers a kid camp where kids play while adults enjoy their alone time. Some evenings feature dive-in movies.
The Loews Portofino, in keeping with its Italian theme, has an opera singer perform each evening from a balcony. Characters from the park will visit, but they include no one from Wizarding World, per Rowling's restrictions.
Potter characters are not permitted to leave Hogsmeade or Hogwarts, one more way they maintain the all-import- ant illusion of Harry Potter's world.

AISB event Bulletin Item
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Turing in Context (TiC@King's), 18-19 February 2012, Cambridge (U.K.),
In the year 2012, the academic world will celebrate Alan Turing's (1912-1954) birth centenary as the Alan Turing Year. Turing, who was on the Time Magazine's list of the 100 most important people of the 20th century, has revolutionized several fields by his seminal contributions to the theory of computation (the Turing machine), the practical applications of that theory by building the first digital computers, cryptography, and artificial intelligence (the Turing test). Turing's special role for science in the 20th century and his sad premature death made him an icon whose recognition goes beyond his immediate scientific impact (consider, e.g., the British Prime Minister's public apology to Turing in September 2009). The event "Turing in Context" will highlight the many contributions of Alan Turing for a general academic audience, in particular for undergraduate and postgraduate students of all fields, and put these contributions in a historical context. Our seven speakers will cover topics such as British war intelligence, discrimination laws, pattern formation in biological systems, artificial intelligence, as well as logic and foundations of computing. The event Turing in Context is hosted by Turing's former college in Cambridge, King's College and is generously funded by the Isaac Newton Institute and the AISB. INVITED SPEAKERS. Henk Barendregt (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, The Netherlands) Sue Black (University College London, U.K.) David Gondek (Thomas J. Watson Research Center, U.S.A.) Leslie Moran (Birkbeck College, U.K.) Julian Richards (Buckingham University, U.K.) Raul Rojas (Freie Universit�t Berlin, Germany) Angela Stevens (Westf�lische Wilhelms-Universit�t M�nster, Germany) All members of Cambridge University, in particular all students at King's College, are cordially invited to join us for this celebration. Attendance is free, but since there is only limited seating capacity in Keynes Hall, we ask for advance registration by sending an e-mail to Jenny Mackay

The weather has teased us this year with early glimpses of spring doused by fierce wind and rain. For those who suffer from allergies and asthma, the challenge started early with trees and plants in full bloom. As we move through the season, 35 million Americans will experience allergies.
Mercy Folsom affiliated board certified allergist, Asha K. Desai, M.D., has answers to questions commonly asked by patients she sees.
My son, who has reactive airway, was running the other day at PE. It was windy and he had difficulty breathing and it triggered a cough. What can I do to help him?
Allergy symptoms tend to be particularly high on breezy days when the wind picks up pollen and carries it through the air. It is not uncommon for this to trigger reactive airway or asthma in children and adults.
My best recommendation is to limit the time spent outdoors. Also, there are controller medications that can be used during the season, as well as inhalers to prevent difficulty breathing and episodes of coughing. Both can be prescribed by your doctor to best meet your son's needs.
I love to spend time in the garden, but inevitably this time of year I come in sneezing with itchy eyes. Your recommendation?
When pollen grains get into the nose of someone who's allergic, they send the immune system into overdrive. The immune system, mistakenly seeing the pollen as foreign invaders, releases antibodies — substances that normally identify and attack bacteria, viruses, and other illness-causing organisms. The allergens combine with the antibodies, which leads to the release of chemicals including histamines into the blood. Histamines trigger the runny nose, itchy eyes and other symptoms of allergies.
The outdoor air is most heavily saturated with pollens and molds between 5 and 10 a.m., so outdoor activity should be avoided during these times. One can take an oral antihistamine about an hour before working outside and that may help control the symptoms. You will see folks wearing masks to filter the air. Also, showering, washing your hair and clothing that bears the pollen when you come in doors is a good idea.
I have read about alternatives to antihistamines, which make me tired. Your recommendation?
Prior to the arrival of the allergy season and to be continued during the season, there are non-sedating antihistamines available over the counter and your doctor can prescribe nasal sprays. If none of these measures work, then it would help to be evaluated by an allergist to find out what your significant allergens are. If the avoidance and the medications do not work, then allergy shots may help.
How do I best keep track of the pollen count?
Weather forecasts on your local broadcast stations, in your local newspapers and online carry the pollen count for your area.
Seasonal allergy is not always a problem since you can take some OTC antihistamines to manage its symptoms. . Our new blog http://www.foodsupplementdigest.com/bcaa-benefits/Reply

Amritsar has made a huge contribution to Indian history and is the holiest hub for Sikhs. The name of the city, which means the pool of nectar, is derived from the pool that surrounds the Golden Temple. Though the city is quite congested, it has an air of spirituality and a heart to it. The stunning complex of the Golden Temple, with the Central Sikh Museum, will surround you with a spiritual energy that is hard to shake off. The gurdwara is located at the nucleus of the lake, which glitters like gold after the sun goes down. At every corner you'll find devotees who have volunteered for either cooking or cleaning the premise. Eat a free meal at the dining hall and make sure you don't waste any food. The Jallianwala Bagh, from the pages of history, comes to life here. The complex, where around 1500 people were massacred, still has bullet marks all over it. A peek into the well, inside which hundreds jumped to save their lives, is sure to leave you feeling uncomfortable. An hour away from the city is the Wagah Border, where the gates divide Pakistan and India. An evening parade, held before sunset every day, is an experience worth savouring. Amritsar remains incomplete without the lassi with heaps of malai, available almost everywhere. There are endless options to stay in the city but if you want to splurge, consider the Green Acres Haveli and Country Inn Hotels and Resorts.

Bikaner is said to be the most colourful of all the cities of Rajasthan. It is not as developed as the other touristy places and that's probably why it still holds the Rajasthani spirit in its true form and colour. A maze of narrow streets, fort walls and fine old Havelis outline this medieval city. The Karni Mata Temple is believed to be the holiest temple in all of the city. Thousands of rats, who are considered pious, flock and run about the temple and are protected, worshipped and even fed. Rajput art and architecture shines in all its glory in this desert city with forts, palaces and temples modelled with red and yellow sandstone. Most of the palaces, such as the Laxmi Niwas Palace and Lallgarh Palace have been turned into heritage hotels, where you may consider staying. Amongst all others, the colossal that stands out is the Junagarh Fort. The many palaces, temples in the premises are now preserved as museums and upholds the grandiose lifestyle of the past Maharanas. There are also a couple of notable Jain temples, the famous most being Jain Temple Bhandasar. Starting from Kalbeliya and Ghoomar dances to the taste and aroma of Dal Baati Churma, lehsun ki chutney and the sweetness of ghevar and halwa, from camel rides to sand dune camping, Bikaner is an array of experiences.

The first rays of the sun in the morning begin an enthralling melody at the desert village of Khuri. The sun-kissed sand dunes of Khuri is a great alternative to the Sam Sand Dunes if one is looking for a pleasant and peaceful ambience without much rush. Khuri is also a good place for bird enthusiasts to see the Great Indian Bustard or the Demoiselle Crane. Apart from camel rides in the desert, camel races and camel polo is also organised on the request of visitors. In the evening, one can simply spend their time idly, appreciating the splendour of the desert. A typical evening in the village of Khuri should be spent indulging in the enriching Kalbeliya dance and folk music. The fine experience will keep you seated by the bonfire and gorge on Rajasthani delicacies throughout the night. Another option is to spend the night in the middle of the desert. Nothing is more magical than gazing at the countless stars on a dark and clear night.

Super Smash BS Bio – King Dedede
Today, we'll be taking a look at King Dedede. He's had quite a few updates since his introduction in version 0.3, and he is quite different from his incarnation in the official Smash games.
First up, his Neutral Special. Inhale does not suck opponents into your mouth. Instead, enemies will bounce off of Dedede's lips, allowing him to quickly follow up with an attack.
King Dedede's side special is Gordo Toss. The move functions similarly to its original Smash incarnation- Dedede tosses out a Gordo that bounces along the ground. Be careful- your opponents can hit this projectile back to you!
Next is his up special- Super Dedede Jump. This move will bury your opponents if you land on them!
Finally, we have Dedede's down special- Jet Hammer. Dedede charges up his hammer and releases for massive damage. Watch out- if you charge this too much, it will start damaging you!
That's all for this time. Next preview will be a bit of a special one- we'll be showcasing new songs that have shown up in the newest versions of SSBS. Stay tuned for then!
Super Smash BS Bio – Kirby
Kirby has been a playable character since the very first version of SSBS. His moveset is pretty similar to his original Smash Bros. appearance, except for one major aspect- his copy abilities. When Kirby sucks in an opponent, he doesn't get their Neutral Special- instead, he gets one of his signature copy abilities based on which character he absorbs. This is more accurate to the original games, where multiple enemies could give you the same ability.
Kirby's Fire ability can be angled up and down, and is a great trapping tool.
Kirby's Ice ability works similarly to Fire, but it can't be angled, and it can freeze enemies.
Kirby's Bomb ability lets him pluck bombs, which he can then throw at his opponents.
The Mirror ability gives Kirby a reflector for extra defense.
The Paint ability lets Kirby slash three times with a paintbrush. All three of these slashes have a deceptively huge range, and the third slash meteors opponents. Because of how strong this ability is, Kirby can only use it once before he needs to suck in an opponent again.
The Ninja ability lets Kirby rapidly shoot needles, which deal damage but don't make enemies flinch.
Kirby's Fighter ability lets him do a powerful uppercut.
Kirby's Hammer ability lets him charge up a powerful hammer, which deals a huge amount of damage to opponents when released.
Kirby's Animal ability does a slash that moves him forward. If you press the special button again, Kirby will combo that first attack into a second, more powerful slash.
The Missile ability sends Kirby flying towards his opponents. This move will deal a lot of damage, but beware- Kirby gets hurt whenever he uses it!
The High-Jump ability sends Kirby skyward! It isn't particularly powerful as an attack, but it can be very useful for recovering.
The Suplex ability lets Kirby grab and throw his opponents. Bring them off-stage for an instant KO!
Kirby's Sword ability lets him do a quick slash that can be comboed into and out of his other moves.
Normally, Kirby's Spark ability creates an electric field around him. But by dashing, you can charge the ability out, and shoot some powerful projectiles!
Kirby's Wing ability not only gives him extra jumps, but it also shoots out a feather projectile that can be used against opponents.
The Beam ability gives Kirby a powerful, long-range, multi-hit move.
The Yoyo ability acts as a long-range melee attack. Kirby can choose to retract the yoyo immediately, or hold the button to keep the attack out for longer!
The Wheel ability lets Kirby roll around the stage, running through his opponents!
Kirby's Needle ability is very good at keeping away enemies from above.
Kirby's Smash ability gives him his Neutral Air from the original Smash Bros. games. Additionally, all his other special moves deal increased damage.
Finally, Kirby's Mix ability gives him a random ability that another character would have given him.
That's all for Kirby. Join us next time when we go over the self-proclaimed monarch, King Dedede!

Before Freddy Garcia pitched eight shutout innings last night, Orioles starting pitchers had pitched to an ERA of 4.90 on the year. That ranked 12th in the American League, ahead of only Toronto, Houston and Minnesota.
Those three clubs are a combined 33 games under .500 and two of the three reside in last place. That is not the company the Orioles want to be keeping.
But here is a stat to keep in mind: The Orioles' starting pitcher ERA was 4.77 last year at the All-Star break. The starting five didn't really get rolling until the season's last two months.
This season, I see the rotation getting better well before then. In fact, I see the starting five getting better real soon and getting on on a roll shortly.
A look at the current rotation:
* Jason Hammel has an ERA of 2.45 over his last two starts.
* Miguel Gonzalez has an ERA of 2.13 his last two starts.
* Freddy Garcia has an ERA of 1.89 his last three starts.
* Chris Tillman recently recorded six straight quality starts.
* Kevin Gausman has an ERA of 11.00 in his first two big league starts.
Behind a threesome of Hammel, Gonzalez and Tillman, the O's rotation could start to put some things together between now and the All-Star break. Garcia could make that a solid foursome and certainly has poise and experience out there.
The wild card is the kid. But I see Gausman as having too much talent, smarts and maturity to keep struggling. He just needs to locate his pitches better, and he and Matt Wieters need to find the right mix of his fastball and his off-speed pitches. I haven't seen the quality of Gausman's changeup yet at the big league level that I saw in the minor leagues. It has been a pitch he can call on almost in any count at any time, but so far against Toronto and Washington, that hasn't been the case.
Buck Showalter is keeping Gausman on turn and he will face the Tigers on Sunday. That is a real challenge for him, but I agree with the decision to not push him back. If he is going to be in the big leagues he has to face some of the best and I think it sends the wrong message to push him back to face Houston instead. It makes it look like the dugout has lost some confidence in him after just two starts.
The Orioles offense has been on a pretty remarkable run through the first third of the season. If the rotation can start to carry a heavier load and make some improvements and develop more consistency this team, like the current Baltimore weather, could really begin to heat up.
Coming tonight: Later tonight, I'll be sitting in with Jim Hunter for a segment on "O's Xtra" on MASN2 HD before the Tigers-Orioles game. We'll take a look at some of the prospects on the farm doing well right now and take a look ahead at next week's First-Year Player Draft.

Over at TrueHoop, there is a clear breakdown of all playoff scenarios in play this evening.
The Bucks are involved.
If the Bucks want to face the Celtics in the coming days they need two things to happen. A win over Boston tonight and a loss by the Heat against the Nets.
The Bucks are playing in Boston. That's a bummer. On the plus side, Boston has clinched the fourth seed and will likely be resting their stars, or at least Kevin Garnett. Of course, that didn't help Milwaukee very much last week.
Meanwhile, the Heat are at home against the Nets. In related news, the Nets are still terrible.
In short, things aren't looking great for the Bucks hopes of playing the Celtics. Playing Boston would entail having a first round series that would sell out twice and entertain the masses. Even if some see it as a foregone conclusion that Boston would defeat the Bucks. As for Atlanta it's difficult to guarantee a sold out crowd at the BC or an entertaining playoff series in a Bucks-Hawks matchup. There has been very little edge to their games and even less competitiveness in Monday night's game.
Sure it was close enough for most of the game, but it was the definition of an arm's length game. The Hawks had Milwaukee at arm's length the entire night. Milwaukee was good enough to stick around, but not good enough to make a significant run. If the Bucks get hot, who knows what could happen. But teams struggling to shoot over 40% don't get hot very often, or for very long.
So, here' s hoping against hope for a Bucks win tonight and a Heat loss.

The measure was fast-tracked to the House and Senate floors for consideration and won quick passage before the chambers adjourned for an extended summer recess. The final bill accomplishes two top-priority AWO objectives. First, it contains language that closes the lease financing loophole of the Jones Act. Second, it contains language to bring towing vessels under Coast Guard inspection. Both of these items are on AWO's 2004 list of Major Issue Priorities. Their enactment by the Congress is very meaningful to the long-term health and viability of the industry. In addition to these two critical provisions, the final measure also includes language supported by AWO that makes regulations on Tank Level/Pressure Monitoring (TLPM) devices for tank vessels discretionary. Lease Financing Loophole Closed The lease financing loophole has, for several years, undermined the U.S.-ownership provisions of the Jones Act, threatened the multi-billion-dollar investment that AWO members have made in Jones Act vessels, and called into question U.S. control of the domestic vessel fleet. Resolving this issue has been a top priority for AWO and the entire domestic maritime industry. The opening for abuse was created by a 1996 statutory change meant to expand opportunities for lease financing of Jones Act vessels. At the time, Congress made clear that the purpose of the law was to help the domestic maritime industry by expanding vessel financing sources, and explicitly stated that it did not intend "to undermine the basic principle of U.S. maritime law that vessels operated in domestic trades must be built in shipyards in the United States and be operated and controlled by U.S. citizens, which is vital to U.S. military and economic security." Despite this clear statement of congressional intent, a loophole in the law allowed foreign vessel owners to gain a foothold in the domestic maritime industry, to the detriment of bona fide U.S.-citizen companies and U.S. homeland security interests. Leaders on the Senate Commerce Committee and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee decided to take action and stop this abuse of the law in the FY 2005 Coast Guard Authorization Act. In accordance with the original intent of Congress, the final FY 2005 authorization measure permanently closes the lease financing loophole. Foreign interests will no longer be able to manipulate the lease financing law to enter and compete in the U.S. domestic trade. Towing Vessels Brought Under Coast Guard Inspection Earlier this year, the U.S. Coast Guard requested the authority from Congress to establish an inspection program for towing vessels, thereby altering a policy that has existed for over 80 years. The proposal for the towing vessel inspection program was contained in a package of recommended legislative changes for FY 2005 transmitted to the House and Senate by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Tom Ridge. AWO voiced its support for this proposal as the next logical step in improving safety, security and environmental protection in the industry. Using the modern, 21st century mechanism of a safety management system, the new program will accomplish these objectives while recognizing the limitations on Coast Guard and industry resources and leveraging them in efficient, creative ways. The DHS package of recommended legislative changes was approved by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in early May and was determined to fall within the scope of the conference on the FY 2005 Coast Guard Authorization Act. As the Conference Committee completed its work, the proposed legislative changes, including the Coast Guard/DHS-language to bring towing vessels under Coast Guard inspection, were wrapped into the final FY 2005 authorization measure. While this new inspection program is an historic change, it is at the same time an outgrowth of the work that the Coast Guard-AWO Safety Partnership has accomplished to address the common goal of improving maritime safety. The operational details of the new towing vessel inspection program will be determined through the forthcoming Coast Guard regulatory process. TLPM Requirements Deemed Discretionary In September 2002, the Coast Guard published a final rule that would require TLPM devices to be installed on singlehull tank vessels by October 2007. The agency acknowledged that such devices do not exist and would have at best a minimal impact on oil pollution if they could be developed. However, the Coast Guard interpreted a 2000 court decision as requiring the agency to establish a TLPM installation and use requirement. AWO subsequently organized a coalition of domestic and international tank vessel owners that worked with the Coast Guard, the Department of Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget to secure Administration support for legislative change that would pave the way for the Coast Guard to review and withdraw the September 2002 final rule. In spring 2003, the Administration proposed legislation to Congress to explicitly make the TLPM requirement discretionary. The Administration-drafted language, strongly supported by AWO, is included in the FY 2005 Coast Guard Authorization Act. The provision provides clear legal authority for the Coast Guard to rescind the TLPM regulations. The complete text of the FY 2005 Coast Guard Authorization Act is available on the AWO Web site at www.americanwaterways.com. Contact Boyd Hollingsworth or Megan Tucker at (703) 841-9300 or via email at email@example.com or email@example.com, respectively. (Source: AWO Letter, July 23, 2004)

Amid all the noise, Tim Tebow an innocent bystander
Though visually quite similar, there is a mighty chasm between Tebowing -- the pose on one knee, with an elbow resting on the other knee and a hand to the forehead -- and Rodin's iconic sculpture, The Thinker.
In the Tim Tebow commotion, now months old and getting noisier by the day, there doesn't appear to be any deep reflection. Only shouting and finger-pointing.
Should Tebow really be starting at quarterback for the Jets over the struggling Mark Sanchez? Is Tebow's presence -- as, in some calculations, the quarterback-in-waiting -- messing with Sanchez's head?
Are the anonymous criticisms of Tebow by some teammates any worse than what's coming from the stands and talk radio?
The thing about journalism, unlike football, is that the questions often are more interesting than the answers.
Does Tebow's very existence on the roster illustrate an incompetence in the Jets' front office?
Does anyone remember that Tebow almost single-handedly defeated the Jets a year ago as the Denver Broncos' quarterback?
Is it reasonable to expect Tebow, never considered a classic NFL-type quarterback, to be put in the starting lineup?
Because the Jets have used Tebow so seldom, does that mean that coach Rex Ryan never agreed with the trade to obtain Tebow in the first place? Does that prove that Tebow really is "terrible," as one of his teammates told the Daily News, off the record? Was that really a "cowardly" thing to do, as Ryan and owner Woody Johnson and other Jets branded it? Or just the grumbling of a feeling-lost soul?
Might all of this merely be the easiest target in the Jets' steadily failing season? (The first rule of modern sports fandom, often adopted by players: Find somebody to blame.) And, while Tebow has been especially graceful in deflecting all questions about being frustrated or insulted, hasn't his prominence as the most chronicled backup quarterback in the league despite the fact that he barely sets foot on the field made him a potential pinata from the time he joined the team?
It hasn't helped either Tebow or Ryan, or the media's obsession with Tebow, that the coach continually cast Tebow as the Paul Revere of Possibilities, repeatedly sounding alarms about how Tebow was about to ride to the rescue in some surprising role. Within weeks, that was sounding like the boy who cried wolf.
Ultimately, all Tebow is is an innocent bystander on a 3-6 team. Tebow must be taken at his word that he just wants to help the team in any way possible, that he is willing to take on any assignment sent his way, and that (not his exact words, but close) whatever doesn't kill him will make him stronger.
If the team starts winning, Sanchez said, this turbulence will abate. (Possibly, though Tebow could continue to be viewed as someone who is famous merely for being famous.) Even when Tebow engineered a series of shocking victories for Denver last season, there was a general consensus that he was not meant to be a pro quarterback.
There is no sin in that.
Besides Tebow, an overwhelming number of Heisman Trophy winners -- Troy Smith, Matt Leinart, Jason White and Eric Couch among the more recent examples -- have been NFL busts. Think about it though: If the Jets really did trade for Tebow to drain public attention away from the Super Bowl champion Giants, that's working out pretty well.

HRW: Religious Persecution Persists in Vietnam
New evidence shows that Vietnamese security forces are continuing to mistreat and arbitrarily detain Montagnards Christians, Human Rights Watch said today in a new 16-page briefing paper.
While the NY-based organization welcomed recent commitments from the Vietnamese government on religious freedom, it urged Vietnam to amend the regulations to allow full and unconditional religious freedom in order to end the official identification of religion as a threat to the state.
According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), Vietnamese officials are continuing to force Montagnard Christians to recant their faith.
Targeted in particular are those perceived as following Dega Christianityan unsanctioned form of evangelical Christianity followed by many Montagnards who distrust government-controlled religious organizations and seek to manage their own affairs. HRW reports that the Vietnamese government has banned Dega Christianity and charges that it is not a religion but a separatist political movement.
Montagnards who attempt to practice their religion independently still face assaults and live in fear, said Brad Adams, Asia director at HRW. The persecution of Montagnards for their religious beliefs and for their claims to ancestral lands continues unabated.
HRW said Friday that recent talks between Vietnam and the United States on Vietnams designation by the United States as a Country of Particular Concern for religious persecution have produced some commitments by the Vietnamese government to allow greater religious freedom.
Registration requirements for some churches have been loosened, and the Prime Minister has issued a regulation banning the forced renunciation of religious beliefs, HRW noted.
However, the regulation requires religious organizations to obtain government permission in order to operate and states that only churches that have conducted pure religious activities since 1975 can register for official authorization. This effectively eliminates Montagnard house churches in the Central Highlands, most of which started up in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In an "ominous tone," the regulation instructs officials to publicly expose disguised Protestants and to fight attempts by hostile forces to abuse Protestantism to incite people to act subversively.
HRW said that at this point, the reforms appear to be having the perverse effect of allowing government security forces to take fresh action against religious activists.
Also, in a recent Memorandum of Understanding signed with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Vietnam pledged that there would be no retaliation or mistreatment against individuals who return from Cambodia to Vietnam after last year's mass exodus of Montagnards. However, HRM claims that Vietnam continues to deny international monitors unhindered access to the Central Highlands to check on the safety of returnees.
The general mistreatment of Montagnards and the targeting of returnees from Cambodia makes it clear that Vietnam is not upholding the commitments it made to UNHCR in January, said Adams.
Hanoi must allow international monitors into the Central Highlands to ensure proper implementation of the agreement. Vietnam should stop denying that these abuses are happening and start showing the political will to end them.
Earlier this week, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) announced its 2005 recommendations to the U.S. Secretary of State on countries of particular concern.
Vietnam, which the USCIRF designated last year as a country of particular concern, was included again in this year's list for having "engaged in or tolerated systematic and egregious violations of the universal right to freedom of religion or belief." Vietnam is also listed as No. 3 on the Open Doors International World Watch List that lists the top 50 countries where Christians suffer the most according to the intensity of persecution Christians face for actively pursuing their faith.

Carol et al,
Replying to yours of 19th Oct: The Glassworks you appear to be viewing on a
map is just off the A6022 behind the houses/shops fronting this road. There
is a
crossroads on A6022, on the eastern side of the Dearne & Dove Canal which
was locking down, from this area, into the Main Line of the Sheffield &
South Yorkshire
Canal. The minor road to the north, from this crossroads, is Whitelee Road
and one boundary of South
Yorkshire Glass Works; viewed on the 25inch OS map of 1901. Grid Ref: SK
462 993. As you
already know from other correspondents, ownership has changed over the
following years. Two cousins, living within a few miles of that area, are
retired workers from
that works. Another minor road ran off Bridge Street, running north east,
form another boundary. Surprise, surprise, there was a brewery at the end
of this lane adjacent to the Glass Works. In my time in the area, this was
Wards Mineral Water Works!
May be able to supply additional information about the modern works via
these cousins.
Yours of 20th Oct refers to 40 Dolcliffe Road, Mexborough. There were two
Glass Works in Mexborough and both are shown on the 1901 map. My
father worked in one of these. Previously, he worked at Kilner's (of the
Kilner Jars for food storage) Glassworks in Thornhill Lees, Dewsbury.
Kilner's also had one
in Denaby in my time, 1940s. On the 1902 map this is shown as Providence
Glass Works with access from the main road, possibly the A6023 by this
location, over the railway by Kilner's Bridge. Grid Ref: SK 505 996.
The two in Mexborough were Phoenix Glass Works Grid Ref: SK 471 997 and, the
adjacent, Don Glass
Works to the east. Both ran down from behind the shops and houses of High
Street to
the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation, the canal. These were very
close to Dolcliffe Road depending on which part they lived. Cannot remember
the numbering system.
Dolcliffe Road leaves Bank Street, near to the eastern end of the shopping
area, and
quickly kinks to the north west where it climbs steadily to reach near to
the edge of the Brickworks Quarry before plunging very steeply down to Main
Street at the western end of the town. The final climb only had houses on
the northern side of the road giving an extremely good view southwards over
the Don Valley towards Kilnhurst. The steep south facing slope down to the
town from this section had
no value for building but made marvellous allotments for the tenants. I
well remember looking down on
these when passing this way, from school down into the town, to catch a bus
back to my home in
Thomas Barron set up the Don Glass Manufacturing Company in Mexborough in
1850. Over 300 men
and boys were employed at the peak time. The works were extended six times
before closing in 1923.
When one of these Mexborough Works was working late, her father used to send
a young lad up with a message to that effect. My m-in-l then used to take a
cooked meal down for him. This would have been served in basins and carried
in a wicker basket.
That was in the days before fast foods. With all this good food, it is no
wonder they had tremendous strength to do all the jobs they had to. Well,
this family at any rate. He had six allotments to keep hens and pigs along
with all the food that they grew. Of course, not many people looked after
their families like this. Two of the girls and one boy are still alive in
their 80s and 90s.
All these works were sited on canals which presumably were essential for the
transport of the heavy raw
Nearby, in Wath-on-Dearne, there was another similar works, Waterstone
Glassware Ltd in Common Lane.
Grid Ref: SK 445 009. This was alongside the LNER railway with a siding
shared with Stanley's Oil & Soap
Works, which opened in 1887. What a smelly place! Although both these
works are shown on the 1901 map,
they are not named. Around 1939, I was taken on a tour around the Glass
Works by an acquaintance of my
father. My father, at that time, was a Goods Guard on the railway and
serviced this works by collecting and
delivering the odd few wagons. They didn't seem to have much traffic so I
don't know how the bulk of their
materials was moved. Later, in 1951, they made commemorative egg cups in
blue glass for the Festival of Britain.
We are still using some of these! Although the total site, containing the
Oil and Glass Works, was on the Dearne
& Dove Canal bank, I am not sure whether such transport was ever use for the
Glass Works. The Glass Works,
that I saw, was in a corner at the opposite end of the site from the canal.
In any case, the canal had closed by 1914.
Neither of these works are shown on the 1855 6inch OS map. The canal had
been in existence since 1797.
The next Glass Works westward, I believe, was also a Beatson & Clark one
situated between Stairfoot and Barnsley.
Not sure whether this is still Stairfoot or has some other name. It was
about half a mile north of the main road, A635
and probably on the same D & D Canal. Grid Ref: approx SK 368 060.
There may be others, besides this Stairfoot one, at the upper end of the
Dearne Valley supplied by the D & D Canal.
That area had very early coal resources. Not sure how their kilns were
fired; coal, coke or water gas derived from
heated coke as used in the Iron & Steel Trade. Much later coalfields were
opened around Wath, Mexborough and
Denaby with canal servicing to large towns and export via Goole and Hull.

MILAN, Italy, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- A bag from the missing plane carrying Italian fashion executive Vittorio Missoni and five others was found on a Caribbean island, a family spokeswoman said.
A German tourist found the piece of luggage Jan. 10 on the island of Curacao, Women's Wear Daily reported Monday.
The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported the bag belonged to Italian tourist Giorgio Neri and was placed on Missoni's plane Jan. 4 because there wasn't enough room on the plane he was taking from Los Roques, Venezuela, to Caracas.
The bag was empty when the German tourist found it but still had Neri's contact information. The German contacted Neri by email once he returned to Germany and Neri alerted the Missoni family, Corriere della Sera said.
The Missoni spokeswoman said the family was aware the bag had been found, Women's Wear Daily said.
"They are not drawing any conclusion. This is simply another piece of an already complex puzzle," the spokeswoman said.
Discovery of the bag on Curacao, about 124 miles from Los Roques, gave authorities a possible reference point for where Missoni's plane ma have gone down.
Missoni, his wife and a couple of their friends were last seen boarding the plane at a resort in Los Roques off the coast of Venezuela, also bound for Caracas.
Missoni is the chief executive officer of the Missoni fashion company famed for its zigzag-patterned knitwear.
