Has Yasser Arafat lost control? Does he still have the ability to restore calm?
Yes and no. As long as the clashes serve his goals, Arafat is running the show. The moment the clashes develop in way that damages his interests, he'll be trying to calm the situation. For the time being, of course, the clashes are serving his interests, and he's in control.
Don't forget, also, that in this situation it's not only a question of whether Arafat is in control. We're talking about two sides exchanging fire. When you ask Palestinians to calm down, they say they were shot by Israelis. And the same with the Israelis. You have two sides trading fire.
How do the clashes serve Arafat's interests?
Well, two weeks ago the international community was asking Arafat to make a compromise on Jerusalem. Now the whole world is asking Arafat to calm down. So he has been successful in avoiding having to respond to proposals put to him about Jerusalem and other aspects of a final peace agreement.
The violence also appears to have rallied Arab governments more strongly behind the Palestinians...
Yes, that has been another success for Arafat. But it could also create a problem for him. By mobilizing the Islamic world on the issue of Jerusalem or Al Quds [the Arab word for Jerusalem], he is giving the struggle a religious color, which will make it more difficult for Arafat and all parties involved to make concessions. Presenting the issue in religious terms makes it more difficult for anyone to compromise. When people say their judge is Allah and the Koran, there's no argument and we're back to square one.
What are the long-term consequences for the peace process?
The peace process has been seriously injured in these clashes. Palestinians are saying why should we go on negotiating when we're not getting anything. The peace process is becoming like a woman with bad reputation nobody wants to be seen near it.
These events are likely to put back the peace process by at least a year. Even before the clashes, Barak's internal situation left him unable to make a deal with the Palestinians. And Arafat was in no position to make a compromise after the whole Islamic world got involved. Clinton can't take an initiative with the [American] elections so soon. So they'll keep talking, but both sides are incapable of concluding a deal. And a new American team will probably wait out its first year, to make its own assessment.
Is there a danger that the Palestinian leadership will pass to more radical factions, such as Hamas?
The crucial question will be how Arafat sells the coming hiatus in negotiations to the Palestinians. Hamas yesterday for the first time ever actually called for Arafat's resignation, charging that he'd mishandled the Palestinian cause. And the Iranians and Hezbollah have started to appeal to Palestinians to fight the Israelis. So the violence is also contributing toward "Islamizing" the struggle, and that represents a great danger to Arafat.

Ylvis' Viral Song 'The Fox' Gets a Heavy Metal Twist [Video]
In September, Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis introduced the world to an electronic dance song that asked a very simple question: 'What does the fox say?' The epic video for the unique and quirky song went viral, grabbing millions of views.
Norwegian rock/metal vocalist and singer for metal band Damnation Angels PelleK decided to turn it up to 11 with a heavy metal version of the song that hit no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This very question was recently posed in the BPI Group. Is there a conflict of interest when an energy auditor also offers contracting or weatherization services to their clients? At first glance, many would say that the easy answer is "yes". The common reasoning is that people will steer their clients towards the products they sell in order to make as much money as possible. After all, that's what we are all in business for, isn't it? The other answer was "it's just human…Continue

Dogged by her lip-syncing inaugural scandal, a glum Beyoncé steps out with her mother, Tina Knowles, in New Orleans wearing no makeup and looking like she was thinking hard about her next high-profile performance — at the Super Bowl.
The singer was preparing for her Feb. 3 set at New Orleans' Superdome. She was rumored to be planning a solo performance of "Crazy in Love" to kick off the halftime show, followed by old hits with her former Destiny's Child bandmates.

Subject: [ROOTS-L] Josiah Carter Book-1745-1822
Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 17:41:31 -0400
I am trying to find this book about my ggggrandfather written by Randolph A.
Malone. It was published in 1989 but is no longer in print. I looked on
Amazon and it came up as limited availability but I could never find the
price or even get to a place to order it. I also looked on Abe books but
got nothing. Are there any Carter out there who might be related or know
where I might purchase this book. I have also tried to get in touch with
the author who at the time of the printing lived in Thomasville, Georgia but
no luck.
I have a borrowed copy from the Greene County, Georgia historical society,
but have to return it next week. I and several of my siblings would like to
get a copy of this book if at all possible.
Thanks for any help.

Being single in Bollywood is one of the biggest blessings and curses that one could have. Who better than our Bhai, Salman Khan to vouch for this fact? It seems that Priyanka Chopra is picking up lessons from Salman. Apparently, it all started when Priyanka was spotted partying with Sallu's sister who innocently thought that it was perhaps a friendship without benefits. Little did she know that Priyanka had other motives behind been seen hanging out with her.
Apparently the Fashion babe was trying to get close to Sallu, which she seems to have managed by being friends with Sallu's sis. We have already reported about how Salman added value to Priyanka's role in her forthcoming film, Zanjeer. The latest buzz is that PeeCee wants to spend more time with the 'Tiger', of course on the big screen.
So we are not surprised that Priyanka was spotted leaving Salman's home during the wee hours of the morning. What is more interesting is that Sallu chose to skip his Ek Tha Tiger director Kabir Khan's bash with Katrina and gang to be with PC. Looks like Salman has taken a liking to the Chopra babe finally. And we must say the babe does know her way around B-town!

Where've You Gone, General Washington?
January 01, 2012, 12:11:19 am »
In order to ring in the New Year, I am submitting the first update of this timeline to y'all. It is currently in the date-by-date format, modeled after the legendary "
By a Fluke of the Gods: Cox Defeats Harding 1920
" written by PBrunsel. While not the most exciting of formats, I am looking to lay out the development of the Republic from the very beginning, noting the events of the world date-by-date. I am as of yet unsure of how far I can and will go on this. I have a basic list of Presidents spanning up to the 1850's. However, I still feel unqualified to try to write a story of this magnitude and thus may one day through my arms up in the air and say "screw it!" and just give up. It'll require a Hell of a lot of research to maintain. However, this first update was put together zealously in the last few days as I was bored and wanted to avoid the only other thing left to do, which is do homework (reminder to self: do it). I must credit what inspired me. The idea of doing a timeline from near the beginning of the nation was formed doing a paper on the 1796 election. I, being who I am, started thinking about changing things and what not. After a re-reading of part of Lief's "
The American Monarchy
" timeline, I read a suggestion by True Federalist offering the idea that John Adams be made king. That got me thinking. As well, I must credit Mechaman who first tried something like this a couple years ago with his "
The America That Never Was
" which was in a date-by-date format starting in 1783. As well, I feel I must credit Kalwejt whose recent robust and spontaneous new timeline "
The Union Vanishes
" convinced me to think "What the Hell, this thing is useless just sitting on my computer! I should post it!" This first update may be subject to change should I get new ideas in my head. Some of the events in it are out of the blue, others, such as details of the French Revolution, follow the wikipedia article according. I expect I may be adding details as I look back and think to myself "Man, this is crap." However, to Hell with it all! I'm going to start this.

...Where have you gone, General Washington,
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you...
December 1st, 1788:
"...Therefore, I have no desire to enter politics, and wish to retire to the quite of Mount Vernon in the land I love, the state of Virginia, in a country that can gladly be called the United States of America." concludes the letter. Entitled "General Washington's Address to the American States", it is mailed to every state capitol and printed in every newspaper. A man many had considered the "Father of the Nation" has declined election to lead the nation. Many wonder who instead will be elected President.
February 4th, 1789:
With state legislatures across the country deciding upon who their state's electors will choose, the outcome is finally revealed. United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom John Adams of Massachusetts is elected President. Adams served in both Continental Congresses and for many years as a diplomat in France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. Winning the second largest amount of delegates is former South Carolina Governor John Rutledge. Rutledge was Governor of South Carolina during the Revolution and at the Constitutional Convention recommended that there only be one national executive as opposed to propositions for "co-Presidents" and the like. As well, Rutledge took part in the decisions that the Supreme Court not give advice to the President, and that people besides landowners should have the right to vote in order to avoid a term that later will be referred to as "class warfare".
Ambassador to Great Britain John Adams of Massachusetts: 41 electoral votes
Former Governor John Rutledge of South Carolina: 28 electoral votes
-Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Jay of New York: 16 electoral votes
-Ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson of Virginia: 14 electoral votes
-Governor Samuel Huntington of Connecticut: 12 electoral votes
-Governor John Hancock of Massachusetts: 10 electoral votes
-Former Governor George Clinton of New York: 9 electoral votes
-Former Governor Edward Telfair of Georgia: 5 electoral votes
-General George Washington of Virginia: 3 electoral votes
March 4th, 1789:
The First United States Congress convenes in Federal Hall in New York City. Both chambers have Pro-Administration Majorities. The President Pro Tempore of the Senate is John Langdon of New Hampshire. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania. Vice-President-elect John Rutledge will soon be joining the Senate as its President.
April 30th, 1789:
President John Adams and Vice-President John Rutledge, dubbed by the press as "John and John" are sworn in for their first terms as President and Vice-President, respectively, at Federal Hall in New York City. In borrowing a British custom, President Adams gives a speech. At one point in it he declares, "Historically, the centre of civilization has moved westward. First Greece, then Rome, finally moving to England. The only inevitable location of the next leader of the world is here in America. It is thanks not only to the statistics of history, but as well to the people, the land, and to their God, that we as well will one day be the centre of civilization." Such words help to rouse the public, though some believe the President doesn't have what it takes to get America to that point.
May 5th, 1789:
In France, the Estates-General convenes in order to hear the grievances of the people and hopefully try to resolve France's financial problems. It opens with a speech by French economist and former financial adviser Jacques Necker. Immediately, the conflict between the Third Estate and the first two becomes apparent. It will not end well.
June 12th, 1789:
The Third Estate begins breaking from the first two. They proceed with the verification of its own powers and credentials and invites the other two states to do so as well, but does not wait for them.
June 17th, 1789:
Having completed verification, the Third Estates moves to a much more radical proposal, declaring themselves the National Assembly, representing not the Estates, but the People. United States Ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson, a friend of President Adams, begins writing to him of the possibilities for a Democratic Revolution in France.
June 20th, 1789:
Booted from the original meeting place of the Estates-General, and with weather not permitting an outdoors meeting, the National Assmebly convenes inside a tennis court. Taking the now famous Tennis Court Oath, they collectively swear "not to separate, and to reassemble wherever circumstances require, until the constitution of the kingdom is established". With the obvious statement being made by the Assembly that power is derived from the people, not the monarch, Louis XVI orders the clergy and nobility to join with the Third Estate in the National Assembly. While this moment galvanizes the French Left, the Royalists and Conservatives realize that the people are in opposition and that more forceful counter-revolutionary tactics may be necessary.
July 4th, 1789:
The country once again celebrates the Fourth of July as the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Things such as toasts, speeches, thirteen gun salutes, and fireworks are becoming common for such celebrations. In New York, President Adams presides over the celebrations. Earlier this day, Adams signs the
Tariff Act
, which authorizes the collection of duties on imported goods. It is a piece of legislation that will prove quite important over the coming decades as tariffs remain the principle source of income for the federal government.
July 14th, 1789:
In response to the firing of Jacques Necker three days previous and to the fears that mercernaries under order of Kind Louis XVI are bearing down on them, protesters in Paris storm the fortress and prison known as the Bastille in order to gather the weapons that lay there. The protesters stab repeatedly and then decapitate Governor de Launey despite de Launey's calls for a cease fire. De Launey's head is then carried through the street on a pike.

July 27th, 1789:
President Adams signs a bill re-authorizing the United States Department of Foreign Affairs. Originally created in 1781 by the Continental Congress, Adams re-appoints Foreign Affairs Secretary John Jay to the post. Jay is an experienced diplomat who Adams worked with in England. The only complaints come from those who think Jay is too biased towards the British.
Meanwhile in Paris, King Louis XVI enters the Hotel de Ville to chants of "Long Live the Nation". Measures such as recalling Necker and capitulating to some Third Estate demands seemed to help reconcile the king and the people. However, many aristocrats view the "peace" as temporary and weak and have begun fleeing the country.
August 4th, 1789:
President Adams receives the letter written by Jefferson in France. One excerpt of it reads, "My friend, I am hopeful that the Revolution for which we so fought can and will be successfully spread here as well. We one day may see a new birth of freedom all across the globe." President Adams, however, is more wary of what he hears is happening in France. With travel, mail, and news taking six weeks to cross the Atlantic, there is little news, and no current news, to base an opinion on. Meanwhile, in France, feudalism is officially abolished, another triumph for the Third Estate and the National Assembly.
August 5th, 1789:
Even as President Adams re-reads the letter from Jefferson, a three week long spree of attacks on wealthy land-lords in the French country-side, committed by impovershed French farmers, is coming to its end. Despite Louis' concessions to the Third Estate, many believe that the aristocracy is out to crush revolution, and have acted on it. Despite this, Ambassador Jefferson continues writing to the President. His letters have become more fervently bent on the idea of French Democracy, something Adams believes will come to no good. "Our Revolution was not founded on mob rule," he writes, "but on a well executed and principled revolt against a foreign monarchy and the implementation of a Republic." Adams sees only anarchy when he thinks of the events that Jefferson describes to him.
August 26th, 1789:
The French National Assembly publishes its statement of principles,
Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
. It is much like the Declaration of Independence, produced only a bit more than thirteen years ago by the Americans.
September 2nd, 1789:
The United States Department of the Treasury is re-established. Its job is to advise the President on monetary and fiscal affairs as well as to look at policies from an economic and financial perspective. John Adams, wanting a man experienced with such affairs, asks Senator Robert Morris of Pennsylvania. Morris served as Superintendent of Finance during the Congressional Government and the Revolutionary War, from 1781 to 1784. During that time he established the Bank of North America which was the first financial institution chartered by the United States. He also was able to cut government funding by instituting reforms and taking competitive bids for contracts. Morris however, refuses and suggests friend Alexander Hamilton who shares many of Morris' ideas. Adams, after consideration, declines to appoint Hamilton, citing the fact that he does not know the man and that he is "too young for such a presitigious position". Hamilton is, after all, only 32 years old.
September 11th, 1789:
Adams appoints Samuel Osgood to be the nation's Treasury Secretary. Adams and Osgood do not know each other well, and Adams is unaware of many of Osgood's ideals. However, Osgood has experience in politics going back to 1775. Having served in both Houses of the Massachusetts Legislature, the greatest piece on his resume is that he worked as a comissioner of the Treasury, serving from 1785 to the dis-solving of the Congressional Government in 1788.
September 12th, 1789:
President Adams re-appoints General Henry Knox to serve as the United States Secretary of War to head the Department of War, known in the colonial days as the Department at War.
September 24th, 1789:
President Adams signs the
Federal Judiciary Act
, creating a six member Supreme Court in compliance with the Constitution which states "judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court". Also, the act creates the position of Attorney General, a cabinet position whose holder is mainly responsible for representing the state before the Supreme Court. As well, the act lays out the details for the nation's inferior courts and creates the positions of United States Attorney and United States Marshal for judicial district. For Attorney General, in order to please Southerners and appoint someone Adams is ideologically in agreement with, young attorney, friend of General Washington, former member of the Virginia House of Delegates, and Revolutionary War veteran John Marshall of Virginia is appointed.
September 26th, 1789:
Wanting a man he can trust in the position, President Adams appoints personal and family friend Dr. Cotton Tufts of Massachusetts the United States Post-Master General. Despite the opposition of Anti-Administration members of Congress, they are but a small problem in Tufts' confirmation and appointment. Hardly a "dream team", President Adams now has his cabinet assembled. Vice-President John Rutledge of South Carolina, Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Jay of New York, Treasury Secretary Samuel Osgood of New York, War Secretary Henry Knox of Massachusetts, Attorney General John Marshall of Virginia, and Post-Master General Cotton Tufts of Massachusetts. There is still no member of the cabinet from anywhere below Virginia except for the virtually powerless Vice-President Rutledge.
October 5th, 1789:
Amid rumors that the King has trampled the tri-color cockade, the symbol of the Assembly and the revolution, crowds of women begin to gather. Marching first on the Hotel de Ville, and then on Versaille itself--this time with weapons, they demand response to the harsh economic situation, a stopping of royal efforts to destroy the National Assembly, and that the monarchy relocate to Paris.
October 6th, 1789:
Thanks to the Women's March the day previous, the monarchy relocates from Versailles to Paris. They are protected by the National Guard, which is in effect the policing arm of the National Assembly, thus legitimizing the Assembly.
November 21st, 1789:
North Carolina becomes the twelfth state to ratify the Constitution, and thus joins the union. The only state left to ratify the Constitution of the original thirteen colonies is Rhode Island.
December 25th, 1789:
The nation celebrates Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ and His coming into the world.

Thanks for your responses and questions! They'll be answered soon enough either directly, with an update, or with an edit to the first two updates. I'd love to get back to work on 1790, however, I decided to skip out on a family New Year's celebration to work on homework and I don't want to disappoint. I plan on getting at least another subject done before I decide to go off and do something else (either take a run around my subdivision for exercise, or head upstairs to the computer that the timelien is stored on).

January 1st, 1790:
The second session of the first Congress commences. It begins with a speech by Vice-President Rutledge who chooses to speak on the importance of law and the judiciary, as well he touches on the accomplishments of the first session.
February 17th, 1790:
The Supreme Court of the United States is completely filled upon Adams' appointment of Alfred Moore of North Carolina to fill the sixth seat. Leading the court is Adams' fellow baystater William Cushing. The other justices are John Blair Jr. of Virginia, William Paterson of New Jersey, Thomas Johnson of Maryland, and James Iredell of North Carolina. Adams has been more careful to appoint a greater number of southerners to the court than are in the cabinet. Still, all members of the court are ardent Federalists who oppose weakening of the Federal Government. Adams, more moderate himself, is still wary of his political opponents who are primarily Southern and primarily against expansion--much needed in Adams' mind--of the federal government.
March 1st, 1790:
The first United States census is authorized in order to measure the population of the fledgling nation.
March 12th, 1790:
William Grayson, a Senator from Virginia and a member of the "Anti-Administration" faction in Virginia passes away. This will lead to a special election in November to fill the vacancy left by Grayson's death.
March 26th, 1790:
President Adams vetoes the Naturalization Act of 1790. "Send it back to Congress!" he declares, along with a list of corrections. He himself views the act as too restrictive on immigration and privately writes that he blames nativists and Southerners for the act. "They seek to opress all non-white immigrants and treat them as less than what they are, a creation in the image and likeness of God", he continues.
March 31st, 1790:
"Despite my zeal for the possibility of a Democratic Revolution here in France, I find myself homesick and longing for the beauty of my own home, Monticello, where there are still vast improvements to be made." writes Ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson to President Adams. Despite a strained relationship with the President over the issue of the transpirings in France, the two still write correspondence to each other, for now. Meanwhile in Virginia, the State Legislature appoint John Walker to the Senate seat left vacant by William Grayson's death earlier in the month.
April 8th, 1790:
Congress passes a revised version of the Naturalization Act of 1790. It limits naturalization to "free persons" of "good and upstanding moral character", as opposed to the original which did not allow the naturalization of blacks, free or slave, and placed limits on women. It still does not allow for the naturalization of indentured servants or slaves. Both sides have different reasons for supporting this. The Southerners do not wish to call slaves citizens while some in the North are nervous about legalizing the slavery of American citizens. One comments that "this would only make the [slavery] problem worse."
April 10th, 1790:
The Patent Act of 1790 is passed. It is clear and concise in its definition of patent, being any useful art, manufacture, engine, machine, or device, or any improvement thereon not before known or used.
April 17th, 1790:
Benjamin Franklin, world famous thinker, inventor, and sometimes statesman, dies at age 84. In politics, he had served in the Pennsylvania Assembly, as the first United States Post-Master General in the colonial days, as the Ambassador to France and Sweden, and as the executive leader of Pennsylvania. Over 20,000 people will attend his funeral.
May 10th, 1790:
Adams receives Jefferson's letter from France. Knowing that Jefferson has held his position since 1784, Adams decides it is time for Jefferson to return home. "You may now make your way back home, friend. Upon the arrival of your successor, feel free to return to the land of your birth."
May 29th, 1790:
Rhode Island becomes the thirteenth state to ratify the Constitution, thereby being admitted to the union. Thus, all thirteen colonies are now part of the United States of America.
May 31st, 1790:
The Copyright Act of 1790 is passed. Though it creates the first national copyright policy, individual states have already adopted similar copyright laws. It secures authors the sole rights for their creations for a fourteen year term with one potential second fourteen year term, presuming the author to still be alive.
June 25th, 1790:
With the question as to where the capitol will be located still going unanswered, Congressman James Madison of Virginia proposes the Residency Act of 1790. It proposes a piece of land one hundred square miles, located along the Potomac River, to be the permanent location of the nation's capitol. The act is popular with Southerners but no one else. Northerners are still demanding a capitol located in the North, and Adams himself does not like the idea, preferring a more coastal location. "I would be perfeclty content if they simply declared Braintree to be the capital" he confides ot Abigail over dinner. For now, the capitol remains in New York City.
June 30th, 1790:
Just over a week after Jefferson hasa received the latest letter from Adams, his successor to the position of United States Ambassador to France arrives. Gouverneur Morris of New York, a protege of former American Superintendent of Finance Robert Morris (no relation), and Robert Morris' former assistant, was less than a year earlier one of Adams' top choices for Secretary of the Treasury. An "aristocrat to the corse", Morris is less appreciative of the attempts by the Third Estate and the National Assembly than his predecessor. However, Jefferson pays little attention to any of Morris' views and instead prepares to head home.

July 4th, 1790:
The nation celebrates its Independence once again on this day. As with the previous year, Adams delivers a speech in New York City to Congress at Federal Hall speaking of the progress America has made in the last year-and-a-half, talking of the various bills passed that will forever hold precedent over American law. Many in Congress, however, aren't so optimistic about America's path. Outside fireworks shoot off and thirteen gun salutes are performed. Meanwhile in Paris, Thomas Jefferson readies himself for the journey home.
July 14th, 1790:
Ten days following an Independence celebration in America, a similar celebration is taking place in France. It is the one year anniversarry of the storming of the Bastille. However, it seems many of the tensions from the preceding year are gone as people are swearing oaths to "fidelity to the nation, the law, and the king".
August 10th, 1790:
The French political "club", known as the "Jacobin Club", has 152 members affiliating with it. By now it is a radical society filled with the liberal bourgeoisie, its Conservative elements having fled earlier in the summer for the less popular Feuillants Club.
September 15th, 1790:
Having returned home from the second session of Congress, New York Senator Philip Schuyler, seeing his unpopularity back home and the power of Anti-Administration newspapers, writes in a letter to son-in-law Alexander Hamilton that he will not be running for a full term in 1791. Reading this, and seeking an entrance into national politics where he will make his mark, Hamilton decides he himself shall run instead.
September 28th, 1790:
Thomas Jefferson, former Ambassador to France, arrives in New York City, at last in his home country after years away. He arrives with his last remaining daughters Patsy and Polly, along with slave Sally Hemmings. His first act, following a visit to a few stores, is a meeting with President Adams. They discuss the situation in France briefly before talk turns to updating Jefferson on the domestic situation. Recounting his first year-and-a-half as President, as well as the years preceding that, all the way to 1784, Jefferson is impressed at how the small nation is doing. However, he disagrees with some of the methods of the Adams Administration and, despite Adams' popularity, it is still clear that for the most part the nation remains in financial ruin. National debt has for the most part been payed off but state debts, outside of those states that have taken it upon themselves to pay, remain a serious issue.
October 3rd, 1790:
Jefferson at last arrives at Monticello, his beloved home that he hash been pining for for quite a while now. He immediately proceeds to take charge of the manor and the grounds and begins writing of various methods of agriculture.
October 4th, 1790:
Congressman James Madison whom Jefferson visited earlier in New York, arrives to talk with Jefferson about Virginia politics. The death of Senator Grayson earlier that year has already been described to Jefferson. However, this is the first time Madison has mentioned the idea of who shall fill it. Some have suggested fellow Jefferson protege James Monroe, however, Madison feelsthat Jefferson can best spend his time at home serving in the Senate and fending off some of the powerful Federalists in New York, such as Connecticut Senator Oliver Ellsworth. Jefferson denies political ambition, but Madison knows better.
October 21st, 1790:
Over 129 men under the command of Colonel John Hardin are slaughtered in battle against over 1,100 Indian Warriors of the Western Lakes Confederacy. The slaughter is to be blamed on General Josiah Harmar who, despite having over 1,400 men under his command, committed only 400.
October 31st, 1790:
A small caucus of Virginia politicians nominate former Ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson for United States Senate. However, the decision is in the hands of the Virginia State Senate.
November 1st, 1790:
With news of the slaughter reaching President Adams, the President goes into a fit. At last calming down he vows "never again" to let such a careless and incompetent general command American troops. He begins composing a letter to General Washington in Virginia asking him to take command of the army in order to fight the Indians. "Take as much time as you need and gather as many men as necessary" he instructs the General, "However, it must be enough to settle this once and for all."
November 9th, 1790:
The Virginia State Senate elects former United States Ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson the next United States Senator from Virginia.
November 12th, 1790:
Adams receives response in the form of a visit from the General himself. Washington promises to do this last duty for his country. News of Washington's re-taking of command to fight the Western Lakes Confederacy will inspire many young men to enroll with the military, either through their state militias, or through other means. The choice to once again command an army will prove an important one for the nationally loved general.
December 6th, 1790:
Thomas Jefferson is sworn into his first term as a United States Senator. He unofficially becomes a member of the "Anti-Federalist" faction in the Senate, opposing Senator Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut and his Federalists.

The decision for a capital will finally be made when a certain New Yorker every aristocrat loves enters politics and forces Madison and his buddy Jefferson to a compromise. I'm not sure how that'll end up, and I'm looking into the idea of a more coastal capital maybe (Adams said he couldn't stand to be so far from the sea when Abigail proposed the purchase of some 1,000 acres in Vermont). Thanks for the suggestion, that looks like quite the Presidential Palace.

No updates until the weekend, sadly.
As for "anti-Federalist", there are no concrete political parties yet, & it's more of an ideological description. Examining JA in today's politics of the era, he'll be a moderate Federalist. Nearly all "Pro-Admin." congressmen are ideologically Federalist (as in strong central government, more elitist), & so their ideological opponents are, without a currently better label (though one will emerge), anti-federalists.

February 8th, 1791:
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist banker and former state politician, defeats New York Attorney General Aaron Burr for the Senate seat being vacated by Hamilton's father in law, Philip Schuyler.
March 4th, 1791:
Alexander Hamilton is sworn into his first term in the United States Senate. He previously has served as an aide-de-camp to General Washington during the Revolution, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and the Congress of the Confederation, and as a member of the New York State Senate. Since earlier in 1791 he has served as the third President of the Bank of New York, a bank he helped to found in 1784.
The leadership of Congress is still one that is for the most part on the side of the administration. The President of the Senate is Vice-President John Rutledge of South Carolina, the President Pro Tempore is Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, and the Speaker of the House is Jonathan Trumbull Jr. of Connecticut. Also on this day, Vermont is admitted to the Union as the fourteenth American state.
April 4th, 1791:
General Washington and the War Department under Henry Knox begin recruitment for a national "legion", meaning a military force that combines all forms of land combat arms and can be divided into stand alone teams. With many young men having grown up seeing or hearing stories of the Revolution, there are many volunteering for one last chance to serve with George Washington.
May 16th, 1791:
With recruits piling up, either through state and local militias or with requests to join the Legion directly, it is decided that an official base and training ground must be made to house the new recruits and prepare them for the inevitable conflict with the Indians in the North West.
May 18th, 1791:
Senator Alexander Hamilton of New York--a member of the Pro-Administration faction and ideologically a Federalist--proposes the
Debt and Tariff Act of 1791
. It is accompanied by his address titled "The Report on the Public Debt". While it is not one of Hamilton's most ambitious plans, it is still a fairly creative one. The report outlines the financial situation the United States is currently in, including data on the amount owed to foreign lenders, the precise amount needed to gain the necessary revenue, and it proposes an assumption of state debts by the federal government with a subsequent raising of the tariff level from five percent to eight percent. The plan is controversial, and Hamilton will soon be making a name for himself.
May 19th, 1791:
The shy and introverted Senator Thomas Jefferson of Virginia addresses the Senate in opposition to Hamilton's proposed
Debt and Tariff Act
. Calling it a gross over-reach of federal power, his main point in all of this is that it puts the burdens of states that haven't paid their debts on the back of states, such as his own Virginia, who are largely paid up. The battle lines over one of the most controversial pieces of legislation are being drawn.
May 21st, 1791:
President Adams, thumbing through the
Debt and Tariff Act
, is impressed by "the work of that young Senator from New York". While he views the man as too ambitious, this plan does meet with his approval. With the debt being the largest economic issue of the period, Adams seems to have found the answer to the problem.
May 23rd, 1791:
Congressman James Madison meets with Senator Hamilton. "Your proposal will likely fail," states the Jefferson protege, "While the tariff raises are near unopposed, every state that is actually working to pay off its debt will have their representatives vote against it." Hamilton, who himself has worried about this, asks why Madison has approached him. The quite Virginian continues, "However, many Southern representatives would be wiling to support it if you and the other Federalists were to cede ground on other issues." Thus, the Compromise of 1791 begins brewing.
May 30th, 1791:
After meetings between Speaker Jonathan Trumbull, Connecticut Senator Oliver Ellsworth, Virginia Senator Thomas Jefferson, New York Senator Alexander Hamilton, and Virginia Congressman James Madison, the Compromise of 1791 is forged, primarily between Hamilton and Madison. Hamilton's
Debt and Tariff Act
shall be passed by both Houses of Congress. In return, it is agreed that the nation's permanent capital shall reside in a more Southern state, wrestling away hopes that Philadelphia or New York City might receive the honor. President Adams will be brought in to help choose a plot of land along the Potomac, as he is the President.
June 3rd, 1791:
Debt and Tariff Act of 1791
is passed by the United States Senate by a nearly unanimous margin. Having passed one house of the legislature, it will now move onto the other, in this case, the House of Representatives.
June 7th, 1791:
In the United States House of Representatives, with the
Debt and Tariff Act
being supported by Madison's men as well as the House's Federalists, it is passed by a large margin. That very day, President Adams signs the
Debt and Tariff Act of 1791
into law. The young New York Senator has become well known for his ambitious plan which many credit with saving some of the debt laden states and setting up a system to produce revenue for the country. With part one of the Compromise of 1791 being passed, Adams will, following July 4th, leave New York City to speculate land lying around the Potomac for a few days.
June 13th, 1791:
Construction of "Legionville" in Western Pennsylvania begins. It is being constructed to oversee the training of troops of what is being referred to as the Legion of the United States. former Major General "Mad" Anthony Wayne will oversee the building and training. Meanwhile, in the United States House of Representatives, Congressman James Madison is proposing the
Residency Act
, specifying the site for a national capitol to be chosen in an area "not more than one hundred square miles" somewhere along the Potomac River.
June 20th, 1791:
In France, King Louis XVI and his family flee to Tuileries Palace disguised as servants. Fear of the possibilities of more violence and further revolution are what is driving the royal family away from Paris.

June 21st, 1791:
In the House of Representatives, the
Residency Act
, proposed by Congressman James Madison of Virginia, passes. This is a triumph for Madison as he is ensuring a Southern capitol, as well as the near completion of the Compromise of 1791. All that is required is that it be passed by the Senate.
Meanwhile in France, the King and his family are recognized while in Varennes and escorted back to Paris in handcuffs. The peace and celebration that existed at the Fête de la Fédération little less than a year ago seem to have dissipated. Upon arrival in Paris they are greeted in silence and placed under guard. The Assembly provisionally suspends the King.
July 4th, 1791:
In what is becoming a tradition, President Adams addresses Congress on the holiday that is now being called Independence Day. In his address, he congratulates the Senate for passing the
Residency Act
, which allows he, the President, to choose a spot along the Potomac as a place for the national capitol.
July 17th, 1791:
In France, the National Guard dispenses with a crowd that had gathered to sign a petition to remove the authority of the National Assembly and have a new monarch take the throne.
July 19th, 1791:
An advance detachment of the newly forming Legion of the United States arrives at the selected spot in Western Pennsylvania to begin construction and prepare the camp for the arrival of General Anthony Wayne and later the main army. Meanwhile, President Adams with the guidance William Clark, is scouting out territory around the Potomac for a potential capitol. William Clark is a soldier who fought under John Hardin in 1789 and will be leaving for Legionville within the next month to take his position as a lieutenant.
July 23rd, 1791:
"Are you sure?" asks William Clark as he and President Adams stands atop the peninsula, looking down into the Potomac. "Yes, I'm sure." "It was implied that the capitol be in Virginia, your majesty." is the reply that the President receives. "The act that I signed specified a spot along the Potomac, not necessarily one in Virginia. This spot is as good as any." The President and the young soldier are standing on the ground that will one day house the nation's capitol.
August 3rd, 1791:
An important event in the case
West vs. Barnes
is settled by the United States Supreme Court. In the case, concerning whether plantiff West's move for a writ of error to the Supreme Court is valid because it was signed and sealed only by the clerk of the circuit Court in Rhode Island and not by the Supreme Court clerk, it is decided that West's move for a writ of error is valid. It is a close vote, however, with Chief Justice Cushing, and Associate Justices Iredell, Moore, and Blair voting in West's favor, the case continues. However, in the end, West, a man who owes a mortgage to Barnes, will be ejected from his property.
August 21st, 1791:
In Saint Domingue in Haiti, a French colony, slaves, inspired by the ongoing revolution in France, stage their own revolt against their masters. With whites maintaining control of only a few isolated areas, it is a very serious situation.
August 27th, 1791:
A number of international monarchs and leaders issue the Declaration of Pilintz which states that they consider the cause of the French King to be the cause of their own and are willing to threaten force to ensure the survival of the monarchy. The French people however, are in no mood to be dictated by foreign rulers and the country becomes more militarized and the situation grows no better.
September 1st, 1791:
With the main army having fully arrived including the ever expanding list of new recruits, Legionville is now over 500 buildings and has a population five times larger than the small city of Pittsburgh. Wayne had been hoping to train the soldiers in the heat of summer, after all, it was June when construction began. However, only the more seasoned troops have gotten experience under the July and August sun. Some troops may have to wait till the dead of winter to be fully tested. Among some of the officers there are Colonel John Hardin, Lieutenant William Clark, and of course the two generals, General Washington and General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. Wayne has been present to oversee construction and to "whip the boys into shape." Washington privately admits that he was never the most successful of military leaders and having good and successful training will be the key, along with large recruitment, to beating the Indians in the North-West.
September 3rd, 1791:
In France, the
Constitution of 1791
is passed, marking a new era for the what will historically be called the French Revolution. It issues the closing of the National Assembly and the establishment of the Legislative Assembly. It as well restores King Louis XVI, forming a Constitutional Monarchy. Once again, the King and the Assembly seem to have reconciled.
September 8th, 1791:
With news of the Haitian slave revolt reaching New York City where Congress and the President are, debate arises in both houses of the legislature. With sides arguing different things for different reasons, such as aid in order to help the French, aid in order to put down slaves, refusing to aid the French in order to hurt them, refusing to aid the French in order to help the slaves, and so on and so forth, Adams announces his own decision. American will not be funding the putting down of slave rebellions, nor will it be giving money to the French government unless it be in repayment of debt incurred from the Revolution. With American aid coming only in the form of repayed debt, the French will be incurring heavy expenses on their own treasury in order to try to maintain order. This addition to France's internal chaos will onl
September 29th, 1791:
In accordance with the
Constitution of 1791
the last day of the National Assembly takes place in France. Now, France prepares for a new Constitutional Monarchy in the hopes of restoring peace and a balance between the government and the people.
October 1st, 1791:
The first meeting of the Legislative Assembly convenes. Despite appearances that all will go well under the new system, things will not go as they seem.
December 19th, 1791:
Less than a week before Christmas, the United States Bill of Rights, a promise made years ago to the Constitutional Convention's Anti-Federalsit faction by the Federalists in order to gain passage of the Constitution, is officially ratified by all the states.

Thanks. I was looking for a more coastal area for the capital but figured the Potomac would still be a good place. I'm currently reading "John Adams" by David McCullough, and at one point Abigail wrote him about possibly purchasing a couple thousand acres up in Vermont. Adams replied negatively, stating that he couldn't bear being so far removed from the sea. Despite at that point having rarely been at sea (it was the beginning of his days as an ambassador), Braintree (now Quincy), his hometown, was coastal.

Good Points
Well priced
Produce results
Bad Points
They have only recently opened the online marketing dept, so at first I didn't really know what to expect.
General Comments
I have recently started to use Codeweavers for my email marketing campaign. I have found them to be professional, talented and very competent.
I had always used a different company, but was recommended to use these guys by a friend. I was a little apprehensive due to them only recently opening the online marketing dept, but after speaking to them I found they had employed people for the dept with years and years of experience.
I have been really happy with my decision to use them and would recommend them to anyone.

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a debilitating neurological disorder with a world-wide prevalence of 1 percent; there is a strong genetic component, with an estimated heritability of 80-85 percent. Though postmortem studies have revealed reduced brain volume, cell size, spine density, and abnormal neural distribution in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of SZ brain tissue and neuropharmacological studies have implicated dopaminergic, glutamatergic and GABAergic activity in SZ, the cell types affected in SZ and the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease state remain unclear. To elucidate the cellular and molecular defects of SZ, we directly reprogrammed fibroblasts from SZ patients into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and subsequently differentiated these disorder-specific hiPSCs into neurons (Fig. 1). SZ hiPSC neurons showed diminished neuronal connectivity in conjunction (Fig. 2) with decreased neurite number, PSD95-protein levels, and glutamate receptor expression. Gene expression profiles of SZ hiPSC neurons identified altered expression of many components of the cAMP and WNT signaling pathways. Key cellular and molecular elements of the SZ phenotype were ameliorated following treatment of SZ hiPSC neurons with the antipsychotic Loxapine.

Though its characteristic symptoms generally appear late in adolescence, SZ is thought to be a neurodevelopmental condition wherein illness is the end stage of abnormal neurodevelopmental processes that began years before the onset of symptoms. Consistent with this, SZ is often predated by a prodromal period that can appear in early childhood. Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) is defined by an onset of psychosis prior to age twelve and is a rare and particularly severe form of the disorder. We have reprogrammed fibroblasts from patients with COS into human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSCs) and will subsequently differentiate these disorder-specific hiPSCs into neural cells. Our preliminary data demonstrates that hiPSC neural progenitor cells (NPCs) most resemble early human fetal brain tissue, specifically the embryonic ganglionic eminence and cortical forebrain regions. Therefore, we believe our hiPSC NPCs are an ideal platform with which to study the early embryonic development effects that contribute to disease initiation and progression in COS. Ongoing work in the laboratory is to identify aberrant mRNA and microRNA expression of COS neural cells and to begin mechanistic studies of candidate mRNAs and microRNAs we find to be altered in COS. We hope to use our novel hiPSC based platform of COS to identify molecular insights into COS which may be generalizable across SZ.

In the past, engineers have had to use proportional high-voltage power
supplies (HVPSs) for their
low-power needs. If the application required tight tolerances or output-voltage
engineers built their own regulated HVPS. By placing a control loop around
a proportional HVPS,
a regulated output voltage with stable characteristics could be maintained.
Isolation was generally
not an issue, so a specific polarity output was available.
UltraVolt manufactures a line of off-the-shelf standard
products incorporating internal regulation
circuitry. These switching power supplies help achieve a more cost-effective,
reliable, high-voltage
power system. Let's examine the different areas where the UltraVolt HVPS
contributes to
these factors….
Economic Advantages
What is the cost of the proportional HVPS? While
most proportional-regulation solutions are similar, the most basic circuits
consist of assembling a minimum of 12 parts into a subassembly. Typically,
that consists of the following:
Note the impact on overhead where the individual
parts listed above must be procured, expedited, received, inspected as
parts, kitted, assembled, inspected, tested as a subassembly and burned
in. In addition, subassembly manufacturing documentation must be maintained.
UltraVolt's single-part solution costs less.
Reliability Advantages
UltraVolt's single-part solution lasts longer! As
an assembly, our 4-watt HVPS has a mean time
between failures (MTBF) of 654,583 hours at 55°C. What is the MTBF
of the proportional HVPS?
Is that calculated at 55°C or 21°C? Does that MTBF factor in the
12 or more components
required for regulation?
UltraVolt's single-part solution is easier to shield!
All of our HVPSs have reduced emissions.
Optional wrap-around Mu-metal shielding further reduces EMI & RFI emissions
for sensitive
applications. Conversely, the proportional HVPS solution will radiate more
noise, due to its
inherent design and because the radiating components are spread over a
larger surface area. If the unit requires full shielding, you must also
box in the proportional HVPS and ALL of the
regulation circuits with a custom shield. Not only will this increase the
cost, but it will also raise
the ambient temperature, increasing drift and reducing component life.
UltraVolt's single-part solution is smaller! With
a footprint of only 5.5in2, along with a volume of
4.3in3 our HVPS frees up valuable space in your system. If your product
is portable, the
proportional power supply solution adds to system weight. The proportional
HVPS solution also
uses up valuable space that could be used to enhance your products.
Output Power
UltraVolt's single-part solution is more powerful!
With 12VDC models producing 4 watts, and
24VDC models producing 20 watts, our HVPS can provide all the power required
for your
system. Typical proportional solutions have limited output power from 1
to 3 watts.
UltraVolt's single-part solution is fully compatible!
Output voltage can be programmed just like the
proportional power-supply solution. Both resistance and voltage programming,
along with simple
two-resistor scaling, are fully supported.
As you can see from the analysis above, it is evident
that the single-component solution has
many advantages. Whether your interest is in reducing production cost,
raising system MTBF, or
finding more space for new circuits, we believe UltraVolt's series of regulated
HVPSs will help
you to reach your goals.

LOS ANGELES — At each stop in his minor league career, Brad Brach quickly carved out a role in the back of his team's bullpen. The very back of it, to be exact.
An up-and-down season spent between Triple-A Tucson and San Diego, however, has left Brach searching for a niche while trying to prove his worth with the Padres.
Perhaps a third stint will be the charm.
"It's been a little tough going down three separate times," said Brach, who was recalled from Tucson earlier this month when Andrew Cashner landed on the disabled list. "I've never had that experience before. You're trying to get here and stay here, and when you're going up and down, it's kind of hard to find your place.
"But I'm a lot more comfortable this last go-round. Hopefully, I'll get to stay here."
He's certainly making strides.
Despite giving up Andre Ethier's two-run homer in the sixth inning of Saturday's victory over the Dodgers, Brach has stranded 92 percent of inherited runners (23 of 25), the fourth-best mark among all big leaguers. He is also holding right-handed hitters to a .212 batting average, has pitched scoreless baseball in 22 of his 31 appearances and is averaging 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings — all positive signs for pitching coach Darren Balsley despite Brach walking 23 batters in 31 1/3 innings.
"The reason I've always liked him is he's a strike thrower," Balsley said of Brach (4.31 ERA). "I don't know if the stats reflect that right now, but in the minor leagues, he's had a history of throwing strikes and not walking people. He's fearless. He doesn't pitch around guys."
Which made him a perfect closer candidate in the lower levels.
In fact, Brach saved 33 games for Single-A Fort Wayne in 2009, set a California League record for Lake Elsinore with 41 saves in 2010 and closed out 34 games between Double-A San Antonio and Tucson last year. He has averaged 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings since becoming a pro, and further development of a slider and changeup — especially against left-handed hitters — since his last trip to the minors has Balsley believing that Brach has a future as a set-up man, at the very least.
Whatever the role is, Brach, 26, is eager to take it and run with it.
"That's one of the things I want to do is prove I can pitch in any situation and hopefully get a chance to carve out a role," Brach said. "Any time I go out there, I want to help the team any way I can."
What if?
Padres manager Bud Black spent so much time praising Everth Cabrera's steal of home plate Saturday night that no one thought to ask what if he'd made the final out of the game with his risky calculation.
Black pondered the question Sunday.
"As long as there's a process ... a lot of times you can live with that," Black said. "You want players to think out there."
Cabrera did plenty of thinking and reacting on the bases. Moving from first to third base on Will Venable's single to left field, for instance, set up Cabrera's game-winning decision to steal home when Kenley Jansen turned his back to the plate between pitches.
"Cabby is a daring baserunner, and we've seen it," Black said. "I think a lot of the times that works to your advantage — more often than not. There will be some times where it's going to go the other way, and he'll have to answer some questions and I'll have to answer some questions.
"But I think we all know we'd rather have a player who is pushing the envelope than not."
Et cetera
Cabrera's steal of home plate Saturday night marked the first time in 30 years that a major league team won a regular-season game in which the tying or go-ahead run scored on a steal of home plate in the ninth inning or later. Cardinals C Glenn Brummer stole home in the 12th inning of a game on Aug. 22, 1982, beating a pitch from Giants P Gary Lavelle for a 5-4 win. ... Cabrera is 16-for-16 in stolen base attempts this year, the longest perfect streak to start a season in Padres history.

September 21, 2005
Executive Summary
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a Working Group of expert basic and clinical vascular biologists to discuss blood vessel maturation (arteriogenesis) on September 21, 2005, in Bethesda, Maryland. Their goal was to assess the state of knowledge in this field, identify gaps in our understanding (including the barriers that impede progress and novel approaches to overcome these barriers), and to provide the NHLBI with a list of recommendations for future research activities.
The working group determined that our knowledge of the chemical factors and physical forces that initiate arteriogenesis is limited compared to our understanding of the factors that initiate the angiogenic process. Arteriogenesis involves the laying down of the different layers that constitute the wall of the blood vessel, the elaboration of the extracellular matrix, and the intra- and extra-cellular signals that initiate and promote this complex stage of blood vessel development. It has not been operationally defined, which has confounded this area of investigation because the scientific community uses arteriogenesis, arterialization, and collaterization interchangeably, even though each of these may be different processes not only during development, but also in the adult. Further, our understanding of the chemical mediators and other factors (such as inflammatory cells and hemodynamic forces) that initiate arteriogenesis is far from resolved and these mediators and factors need to be characterized during the different stages of arteriogenesis. Finally, it is uncertain if there is a distinct separation between angiogenesis and arteriogenesis, or if it is a continuum.
Arteriogenesis is complex and its onset and development may be affected by a number of factors: clinical (age, type, and severity of disease; and rapidity of onset), genetic (mutations in key pathways involved in arteriogenesis, as well as epigenetic factors), and systemic/local stimuli (the presence or absence of arteriogenesis/angiogenesis stimulators and inhibitors). The importance of the extracellular matrix is usually overlooked. It is a dynamic structure in that its phenotype is constantly changing during the course of vessel development. Further, the components of the extracellular matrix may act as signaling molecules, directing the differentiation of vascular cells during the development of the vessel wall.
The involvement of bone marrow-derived precursor cells in arteriogenesis is becoming more controversial since there is no conclusive evidence to show that these cells incorporate and expand within the vessel wall. High-resolution imaging suggests that these cells assume a perivascular location, where they may provide an important paracrine role by stimulating vessel remodeling.
Translating animal studies to the clinical setting is fraught with many difficulties due to a number of technical barriers that include: the type of animal model and its appropriateness (as representative of human disease), inter-animal variability regarding preexisting collateral flow (even in genetically identical animals), and the inter- and intra-variability of physiological measurements.
After comprehensive discussion, the working group made four recommendations:
- Elucidate the factors involved in regulation of the various steps of vessel wall assembly involved in arteriogenesis, including: the role of the extracellular matrix, inflammatory cells, shear stress, small molecules, growth factors, cytokines, cell-to-cell interactions, and intracellular signaling pathways.
- Determine the effect of risk factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia) and disease (such as atherosclerosis) on vessel development, including their effects on the temporal changes in the expression of genes and gene products involved in the various stages of arteriogenesis.
- Investigate therapeutic approaches, such as cell-based and non-cell based therapies, to induce and/or stimulate vessel maturation and determine how the therapeutic approach is affected by aging, epigenetic factors, disease state, and risk factors.
- Develop reliable animal models that reflect human clinical phenotypes, novel methods, and biomarkers to study vessel maturation.

After ending 2012 with three straight wins, the new year has started off on a disappointing note for the John Jay boys basketball team with three losses.
The Indians (4-6) had a couple of tough showings over the weekend, losing to Carmel in overtime last Friday at home, and giving Putnam Valley, ranked tenth in the state among Class B schools, all it could handle in a 56-45 loss on Saturday.
On Tuesday, John Jay's shooting went ice cold in a painful 51-42 loss at Brewster.
In Friday's game, Carmel (5-2) took a 25-24 lead into halftime before the Indians came back to grab a three-point lead, 34-31, after three quarters.
Carmel poured in 19 points in the fourth quarter and tied the game up, 50-50, forcing overtime. In the extra period, the Rams outscored John Jay, 13-8.
Jack Weiller led John Jay with 17 points, including four three-pointers. Will Jahn had 11 points and Joe Kells scored 10 points. Matt Bernstein and Scott Owen hit for five points each and Jack Paccione and Nick Kiger added four points each.
On Saturday at the Putnam Challenge at Brewster High School, state-ranked Putnam Valley (8-1) rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Indians, 56-45.
John Jay led 26-24 at the half and 35-34 after three quarters, but was outscored in the final quarter, 21-11.
Kiger was high scorer with 18 points and Kell poured in 15 points. Paccione had six points, Bernstein four points and Jahn two points. Kiger also had 10 rebounds.
In Tuesday's loss to Brewster, nothing seemed to go right offensively for the Indians, who came out cold and didn't score their first basket until more than 11 minutes had elapsed.
But with Brewster also struggling to score, the Indians managed to stay in the game until the end.
The Bears (3-5) led 12-2 after one quarter and 22-11 at the half.
With John Jay continuing to struggle with its shooting, Brewster built its biggest lead yet, 32-16, with 3:29 left in the third quarter.
The Indians end the quarter with a 6-0 run, with a pull-up jumper by Kiger, free throw by Kells and three-pointer by Weiller, to cut the lead to 32-22 going into the final quarter.
An inside basket by Kells extended the run to 8-0 early in the fourth quarter, making it a 32-24 game.
Kells scored again inside, off a nice set-up by Weiller, and Kiger scored off a tough inside move, keeping John Jay close, 38-28, with six minutes to go.
Another three-pointer by Weiller, and putback by Kiger, had the lead down to seven, 40-33, with four minutes left. John Jay had a chance to cut the lead to four but Weiller's three-pointer went in and out.
Brewster big man Brian McNeil put the dagger into John Jay's comeback by draining a pair of late three-pointers, which offset a three-pointer for John Jay by Matt Wilmot-Stroud and inside bucket by Kiger.
Kells led John Jay with 15 points and Kiger had 14 points, while Weiller finished with eight points. Wilmot-Stroud (three points) and Paccione (two points) rounded out the scoring.

I wrote my first final today and it was a huge headache for me to complete. It's worth 40% of my mark and the teacher said if you failed the final, regardless of if you're passing the class or not then you fail the class automatically. Because of that there was lots of pressure and I was very nervous about how I did. I found his email when I got home and I'm super excited to say that I was 1 of the 5 people in the class who passed!! I'm so happy because his class was very boring and I didn't want to retake it >__<;;

From profoundest loss I struggle to speak of the passing of one of the jazz world's most significant personalities of his generation. South African saxophonist Zim Ngqawana, 51, left us far too early last night at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital, victim of a stroke.
Nowhere do the strikingly parallel cultural identities of South Africa and the United States (our parallel racial ethos, if you like) speak to us more intriguingly than through jazz. If, following the New Orleanian Alvin Batiste, we allow that hipness is a profound colloquialism that expresses an abstract truth," the jazz vernacular has thrived in both countries thanks to a visceral connection to some common abstract truths and social and cultural realities. It has also been nourished, for more than a century now, by a more or less constant physical exchange among musicians, fans, critics, and other enthusiasts. Since the birth of jazz in America, South Africans have been loquacious, self-respecting partners in a spirited dialogue with the American head office.
For a thirty-year period or so, however, framed first by the self-imposed exile of a significant part of the country's jazz talent in the early 1960's, later by the restrictions of the anti- apartheid movement's cultural boycott" through the 1970's and 1980's, the nerve centers of South African jazz were displaced to London, the most popular exile destination, and to New York's Chelsea Hotel, where the inimitable Capetonian pianist Abdullah Ibrahim (born Adolphus Johannes Brand and called Dollar" for his youthful enthusiasm for the American jazz records traded for with U.S. seamen), lived in secluded effervescence, spinning improbable beauty from dreams nourished as much by memories of Cape Town as by the vocabularies of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, and John Coltrane.
More than a decade into post-apartheid South Africa, South Africa's jazz has awakened from the slumber of that period, yet is still finding its footing in the new political, social, and cultural terrain.
Zim Ngqawana was many musicians in one. He was a passionate inheritor (and extender) of the South African jazz idioms. He was also an erudite and respectful listener who had absorbed the American saxophone masters (particularly), and studied with Archie Shepp, Yusef Lateef, and Max Roach in the States, yet crafted a highly personal sound on tenor, soprano, or alto as the context required. That sound could be, by turns, mannered and meditative, or robustly lyrical in a Traneian vein. It could be Pharaonic. Sometimes it could just be straightforwardly faithful to the rollicking township gutbucket" of Dudu Pukwana, or to that South African crying sound" of the legendary Kippie Moeketsi, with all the local color such faithfulness would connote.
Zim's composing and performances were the natural outgrowth of a personality exemplified in these words spoken recently to South African jazz critic Gwen Ansell: Music isn't just notes. Every note has a social meaning. I'm singing my mother's knowledge of the plants that grew around her; my father's religion; the African transformation that we need."
In Zim, modernism met historicity. Intimism met collective song. New York met Sophiatown and the tributary fervor of the Eastern Cape. In Zim Ngqawana, an important figure in jazz emerged from Africa to launch a program, to rekindle a sorely missed colloquy.
Through Zim, South African jazz was reconnecting to its present tense. Is" reconnecting to its present tense, as Zim would surely prefer me to say. Trane is," Zim would write to my son Karim, in a dedication he signed on one of his CD's. It was in the present tense that Zim lived, and played.
Karim Rome, tenor saxophonist, was planning to go to Johannesburg in these upcoming months to study with Zim. Karim is not alone among the many of us sharing in a deep sense of unmet opportunities to know ourselves better, through Zim. For all of us connected to South African jazz, Zim was the unavoidable presence in our understanding of ourselves and of the music. Zim, who seemed to have produced as many unforgettable personal turns of phrase as Lester Young, liked to refer to the founding moment of democratic South Africa on April 26, 1994 as Independence." In post-Independence South Africa, Zim transcended, far ahead of most others, the pathological ideological legacies of apartheid and its counterweights, and not in any mostly aesthetic, flimsily postmodern way. Rather, Zim embodied the existential possibilities of a thinking person's South Africa.
Zim is" an authority, Zim is" an example. Zim is" one of those who search. Zim is" a servant of higher ideals and of humanity.
Glory to the Almighty, Sustainer of Worlds. May He receive Zim Ngqawana into His favor. May He preserve in us Zim's memory. May He instill in us, for further exploration, the reach of Zim's ideas. May He keep us mindful of the fragile beauty and reality of Zim's playing, of the courage and truth-telling of Zim's teaching, of the tolerance and wisdom of Zim's approach to people, to music, to life.
