TERRY GROSS, host:
This is Fresh Air. I'm Terry Gross. While some filmmakers become known for a particular style or genre, the work of director Jonathan Demme is striking in its sheer eclecticism. His films range from comedies like "Married to the Mob," to an exploration of AIDs discrimination in the film "Philadelphia," to the thriller, "The Silence of the Lambs," which won five Oscars in 1992. He also directed the documentary "Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains," and the concert films "Neil Young: Heart of Gold" and "Stop Making Sense" featuring the Talking Heads.
Demme's new film, "Rachel Getting Married" is a family drama shot in documentary style. The screenplay was written by Jenny Lumet, daughter of director Sidney Lumet and granddaughter of Lena Horne. The film centers around Kym, a young woman played by Anne Hathaway, who's coming home from a drug rehab center to attend her sister Rachel's wedding. She's trying to deal with seeing her family while musicians, caterers, and friends buzz around the house. Her family is trying to get the wedding together, hoping Kym doesn't cause any drama. At the same time, the whole family is still dealing with a tragedy from years ago.
Fresh Air contributor Dave Davies spoke to Jonathan Demme and Jenny Lumet. He started by asking Lumet how she came up with the concept for the film.
DAVE DAVIES: Well, Jonathan Demme and Jenny Lumet, welcome to Fresh Air. This film, "Rachel Getting Married," is a wedding movie, but it's not exactly just a wedding movie. And let me direct this to you, Jenny Lument, who wrote the screen play. You know, the center of this story is the sister of the bride coming home out of a drug rehab center and comes home to a house which is full of musicians and caterers and family and friends all in the whirl and buzz of getting a weekend wedding ready. And she's trying to cope with getting back to the jarring reality of life outside of rehab. And it's just a fascinating concept. Where did it come from?
Ms. JENNY LUMET (Screenwriter, "Rachel Getting Married"): I had an image of a bride getting ready for this big moment, and she's in a room by herself and her wedding gown, and then her sister bursts in the room, either destroying a moment or creating a moment. And those women lived in my head for, I guess, months, and then I started listening very carefully to what they were saying to each other.
And I've been a bridesmaid, and I think, honestly, preparing the bride is actually quite beautiful. And I think it's been going on for thousands of years, women preparing this young woman to go out and, you know, take this step in her life. And it actually kind of resonates for me. Having said that, I've also had to wear a really stupid, poufy dress and, you know, like run around trying to find eyelashes and mascara, stuff like that, too. So it's not all historical reference.
I think it was just that idea. Of course, I know people, and, of course, the characters in this movie are amalgamations of people that I know. And some of them I made up out of (unintelligible) and some of them Jonathan made up. But I think it was from that one moment.
DAVIES: Jonathan Demme, in the director statement that came with the production notes we received for this film, "Rachel Getting Married," you described an enthusiastic reaction when you first read Jenny Lumet's script, and you said you saw a film that could be made from a script that would mirror your reaction to reading it. What did you mean by your reaction and recreating it on film?
Mr. JONATHAN DEMME (Director, "Rachel Getting Married"): Well, I read the script, and two things happened that sort of never happen. This script made me laugh out loud so much that family members were going, what's going on in there. And I was like, I'm reading - I'm just reading this script. And then, at a certain point in the picture, and it has to do when the sisters kind of are suddenly together, and one of them has been hurt, and the other one is ministering to her, and I'm sitting there reading the script, and tears start going down my face.
And I am tough, you know. I never cry. But I cried then, and I thought, wow, what if we could capture all the fun, the tremendous edge, the heartbreak, the emotion of this piece in a movie. Wouldn't that be one heck of an hour and a half spent in a movie theater? So that made me kind of go for it because, you know, to me, Jenny had - she achieved all these things in her script by leaving the formula, not by pursuing the security of a formulaic movie.
DAVIES: You know, one of the things that I liked about the film was, just like real life, you have these little moments where these confrontations between the sisters and the family erupt at unpredictable times and at moments where there are distractions which they want to get out of the way and which various family members are there uncomfortably observing it, participating. And I thought we'd listen to one little moment of this.
And I think I can set this up. This is after a very - after the wedding rehearsal dinner at which Kym, the sister who's come out of rehab, has given a very inappropriate, probably, and awkward toast in which she is going through one of the 12 steps, which is to apologize and ask forgiveness for those she has offended. And she takes the moment of her toast at her sister's wedding to go on and on about her experiences in rehab and apologize to other people and then give a blanket thank you to her sister and apology, in which she says, you know, I've been a nightmare. You've been a saint. And scene we're going to hear is, they're coming back into the house after the rehearsal dinner unloading stuff. Packages are dropping, and we hear the sister who's getting married, that is to say, Rachel, begin the conversation. Let's listen.
Ms. ROSEMARIE DEWITT: (As Rachel) Well, you've never said anything to me that's remotely apologetic. Yet, all of a sudden, at my wedding dinner, in front of everybody, you decided to grace us all with your development.
Ms. ANNE HATHAWAY: (As Kym) I just got home.
Ms. DEWITT: (As Rachel) Geeze, hey everybody, and yes - just in case you might be thinking about something else for five minutes, like I don't know, my sister's wedding, they just cut me loose. A loose cannon, hey! Anybody up for some rehab humor? Because I'm really, really fine with acknowledging my disease. Hey, and now, watch me be really selfless and leave a lovely blanket apology to my sister for being so tad out of the loose?
Ms. HATHAWAY: (As Kym) You are so cynical.
Mr. MATHER ZICKEL: (As Kieran) Rachel, enough, please. Rachel, she is making an effort here.
Ms. DEWITT: (As Rachel) Oh, an effort? Is that what that was? Because I think she presumes this since everything has always revolved around her disease, that everything else is going to revolve around her recovery. That's what I think.
Mr. BILL IRWIN: (As Paul) Rachel, she just got home.
Ms. DEWITT: (As Rachel) Again.
DAVIES: And that's Rosemarie DeWitt and Anne Hathaway from "Rachel Getting Married," the film written by our guest, Jenny Lumet, and directed by our other guest, Jonathan Demme. Jonathan Demme, this film is shot in a documentary style. I mean, we see a lot of handheld cameras in which, you know, the camera follows dialogue from one to another. Explain your approach in shooting this film.
Mr. DEMME: Well, I think two things probably more than anything else. One is that, over the years, I put a lot of energy in trying to find the most time-honored way of bringing the audience into a scene through a very sort of, you know, with an eye on Hitchcock techniques and stuff like that and really kind of, I think, sort of on my own terms, quote unquote, "perfecting it." And I reached a point where I felt that it was working, that the intent of this rather formal kind of quasi-Hitchcockian style was effective.
And then, at a certain point, I started feeling like, well, I know how I'm going to shoot that scene before I even get there. I know what it's going to look like before I even get there and looks fine. And I guess I kind of got bored with that caused (unintelligible) to shoot. And if you start getting bored with the way you're working, it's time to change.
Meanwhile, I just - you know, "Mean Streets" was the first time where I really kind of went, wow, and saw, gosh, look at the way this picture has been shot. You know, the immediacy of that handheld camera and stuff. And, you know, handheld cameras have been around before Martin Scorsese showed up, especially in, you know, the Nouvelle Vague and films of John Cassavetes. But there was this urgency, and I felt myself feeling like, wow, this is really happening the way Scorsese used it. So I've kind of admired that, and I was trying to get a little handheld into the movie. And then more recently, I've been shooting a lot of documentaries with Declan Quinn.
DAVIES: Right.
Mr. DEMME: One of the really great cinematographers of all time. And after we did a documentary together about Jimmy Carter, "Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains," about a year and a half ago, and coming off of that, the way that Declan is able to make what's really going on in real life feel so incredibly immediate and cinematic made me think, well gosh, let's shoot "Rachel Getting Married" like that. Let's pretend we're making a documentary. In fact, we won't even rehearse, and we had to cast actors who were willing to not rehearse, to not know when the camera was going to be on them. And we went forth with that. We had a blast, and I love the way this picture looks. I'm so excited about it.
DAVIES: What's interesting to me about the documentary style was that there were moments that I was very aware of it - but in these really intense family discussions, and we heard one of them a moment ago, when I thought about it later, I thought, wait, I think, in that case, he wasn't doing it documentary style. I think those were carefully blocked with stationary cameras. And then, when I went back and looked at the movie notes, indeed, those were also shot with handheld cameras. Why, Jonathan Demme, did it seem so convincing and immediate and I forgot all about - why was that effective in a way that I was - it made me forget about the documentary style?
Mr. DEMME: Well, we started out when we began filming, we started immediately with the rehearsal dinner because we wanted to - that was something that we really didn't require any quote unquote, "direction or blocking" because we just bring the actors into the room, and we tried very hard to prevent as many people as possible from knowing, getting to know each other beforehand, so we could actually even film people kind of in a situation getting to know each other in addition to providing the content of the scene. But we were able to shoot pure documentary style, just pure. In that situation, that meant that the family members who we will later focus on, we focus on in the scene in the living room.
By the time we got to the scene in the living room, they were used to the documentary style. They were used to ignoring the camera. They were used to not necessarily being in any given shot and then find themselves in the next shot. And the kind of feedback we were getting there from the actors was they were really, really excited about working this way, that it really helped keep the spontaneity factor in full effect, that by not having blocked out shots and then repeated blocked out shots as we would try to perfect every angle, it kept them feeling as much as possible that this was really going on.
And, you know, one thing that Declan and I thought would be great, one thing he really wanted to do was operating on the premise that almost every single scene here, in theory, someone could have had a little home movie camera with them, including the family arguments. And if one was perverse enough, they could film these little arguments. And that's just the way it went forth.
DAVIES: We're speaking with Jonathan Demme and Jenny Lumet. Jenny Lumet wrote the screenplay for "Rachel Getting Married." Jonathan Demme is the director. We'll talk more after our break. This is Fresh Air.
DAVIES: If you're just joining us, we're speaking with Jenny Lumet, who wrote the screenplay for the new film, "Rachel Getting Married," and Jonathan Demme, who directed the film. You know, Jenny Lumet, when I prepared for the interview, I don't know if I've ever spoken to someone who'd written a well-received screenplay who I could find less information about in the media. I mean, you're, of course, the daughter of Sidney Lumet, the director, who's done all this tremendous work and still working, right?
Ms. LUMET: Yeah.
DAVIES: All I knew about...
Mr. DEMME: Better than ever.
DAVIES: Yeah, you're described as a seventh and eighth grade teacher and the drama lady at an independent school in Manhattan. You have a black belt in tae kwon do, two kids. And you have some acting credits over the years, and you've done some acting.
Ms. LUMET: One, yeah.
DAVIES: But is - I don't know - how did you get in to writing? Have you written stuff before that didn't get published? Tell us a little bit about it.
Ms. LUMET: Yeah. I mean, this is probably my fourth or fifth screenplay. The other two before got option, but they didn't go - I personally thought they were hysterically funny, but I think that I'm the only one, and they didn't go anywhere.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I started writing. And there's no - it wasn't like a lightbulb went on in my head. You know, a-ha, now is the time. I couldn't tell you why I started. I love teaching, I love teaching the seventh and eighth grade. I'm the drama teacher. I'm a better writer when I'm teaching. And that's what I've been doing in raising my kids. That's what I've been doing.
DAVIES: Why do you think you're a better writer when you're teaching?
Ms. LUMET: Oh, because if you can, you know, get up in front of a room of freakin 12 and 13-year-old kids, you can do anything. There's no way I would have chased down and stalked Jonathan Demme had I not had, you know, can I say, balls? Had I not have those from facing down rooms of 12 and 13-year-old children because if you are a melon-head, they will let you know.
DAVIES: This film has something which is unique in cinema, as far as I know, which is a duel on who can best load a dishwasher, which is a funny moment in which Rachel's dad and, I guess, the groom in the wedding get in this argument about who knows how to better load a dishwasher. Jenny Lumet, where does that come from?
Ms. LUMET: That is completely pilfered. I grew up how I grew up being, it wasn't like, you know, famous people were crawling out from under the sink when I got home from school. But every now and again, there was a great artist in the house. And one time, the director Bob Fosi was in the house for dinner. And see, you have to - this is a very - Bob Fosi is - I was a little girl. I was 11 or 12, and this is a very languid, long, graceful man and his whole being sort of ends and extends to the cigarette in the fingertips and sort of ends with the cigarette in the fingertips. And even the smoke is graceful around this man. And he was dressed in black, black cashmere sweater over the shoulders, you know, black shirt, black pants, and this beautiful goatee.
And there is my dad, who looks like a cantaloupe, completely spherical with, like, a big tummy wearing a sweat suit with like vinaigrette stains all over him. And there, it's after dinner, and my dad's loading the dishwasher. And Bob Fosi takes a big drag of this Ugal Wass (ph) or whatever it has he was smoking and goes, you know, Sidney, if you put the salad bowls in the upper level, you'll get 10 percent more stuff in your dishwasher. And my dad, who is 5 feet 3, looks up and goes, Bob, go vromp, because I don't - I can't say that on the radio.
And so then there, there we have this, and for the next hour and a half, these guys, who one would think would have something else to talk about other than loading the dishwasher, went at it like two people caught in the grips of the worst OCD on the planet, with Bob Fosi turning the tines on the fork upside down and calling Sidney a barbarian and Sidney saying, oh you're - what do you know, dancer boy? I mean, it was so demented, so demented. And I did not remember it because I am prechant(ph) and thought a ha, I will use this - that, you know, decades later. I remembered it because it was psychotic and disturbing behavior.
DAVIES: Well, Jonathan Demme, you have such a diverse career. I mean, you've done so many different kinds of films. You got started with Roger Corman, who, of course, is known for making lots and lots of successful, like, what would you say, low-budget action, horror, all kinds of stuff. And I think he does a cameo in "Rachel Getting Married," doesn't he? Is he in the wedding?
Mr. DEMME: He does, indeed. In fact, there's a moment in the movie that I loved a lot, which I don't expect anyone else to love. But there's a shot of the couple saying their vows. And just off to the side, there is this incredibly handsome guy in a fabulous suit with a gigantic grin on his face, and he's aiming this little tiny handheld camera at the couple. That's Roger Corman, who I gave the camera to seconds before.
He didn't know he was going to be expected to do that. I mean, he really rose to the occasion, then we cut to Roger's shot, a beautifully composed, fabulous shot of the bride. So that's a - you know, the thing about Roger, he's famously tight-fisted. He's famous for two things, being - three things, brilliant filmmaker in his own right. Second of all is this mogul. Third of all, so tight-fisted. And that the thing about Roger is that, if you offer Roger SAG minimum for a couple of days work in a movie, he shows up, does a great job in the part, and goes away thinking that he's really somehow stuck it to the man.
DAVIES: We're speaking with Jonathan Demme and Jenny Lumet. Jenny Lumet wrote the screenplay for "Rachel Getting Married." Jonathan Demme is the director. We'll talk more after a break, this is Fresh Air.
If you're just joining us, we're speaking with Jenny Lumet who wrote the screenplay for the new film "Rachel Getting Married," and Jonathan Demme, who directed the film. Jonathan Demme, one of the hallmarks of some of your films is, shooting scenes where characters look directly into the camera or almost directly into the camera. And I'm wondering, is there a particular reason or purpose for that technique when you use it. I mean, I saw that in the "Manchurian Candidate," a film you did few years ago.
Mr. DEMME: Yes. That is - the use of subjective camera is an idea that's been around in movies for a long, long time, and it's an idea that was seized on very notably by Sam Fuller and by Alfred Hitchcock in two different very kind of - otherwise very different styles of film making. And the whole point, according to Hitchcock, and it's right, is that, you know, if you go subjective camera, you are for that moment putting the audience in the shoes of the character. You're showing the audience and making the audience share exactly what it's like to see what the character sees.
So Tak Fujimoto and I, when we started getting enough of a budget where we could afford the right lenses because we started out doing low-budget pictures together - we started experimenting with this subjective camera thing, and we kind of fell in love with the idea of using that as we - as our close up, instead of having the camera slightly off to their side. Our thing was, well, maybe by using subjective camera in ordinary dialogue situations, you know, we can bring the audience that deeply into the film that way.
And we were afraid that it might be kind of off-putting or call attention to itself, but we found out - "Married to the Mob" was the first time we did it, and nobody commented. The scenes that we used it went really well. No one found fault with it. So when we did "Silence of the Lambs," we really went to town with it. We just started subjective camera for every dialogue scene, trying to pull the audience deeply - as deeply as you possibly could into the scene. So it was really an aggressive way to pursue intense audience involvement.
Now, in this movie, in "Rachel Getting Married," there is no subjective camera. This time, the energy and the effort to draw the audience as deeply as possible into the movie comes from making them feel that what they're seeing actually happened. And in this way, we try to take advantage to that - kind of that truth factor that comes along with looking at your home movies. This really happened. Look how shaky the camera is, or we tried to make it not too shaky, but that's how we tried to really galvanize the audience in to believing what they were seeing and getting as involved as possible.
DAVIES: I wanted to talk just a little bit about the "Silence of the Lambs." It's the film - goes back a few years in your career, 1991, but it swept the Oscars. And I read in an interview at the time that Janet Maslyn said that it was your opinion that every director dreams of making a film more terrifying than anything he has ever seen. Is that true? Was that something you tossed off the time?
Mr. DEMME: Well, I tell you - what I can tell you is that I know, when I saw "Zodiac" and then again, when I saw "No Country for Old Man," there was a moment in each of my viewing experiences like, damn it, this is scarier than "Silence of the Lambs." So I guess, on a certain level, that there's something there. Yes.
DAVIES: You've been topped again.
Mr. DEMME: Yeah.
DAVIES: I read that a lot of producers didn't think that the novel by Thomas Harris could be made into a movie. Partly because the - you know, it's just such a grizzly story. And I'm wondering how you confronted the questions of how much you show of either the actual violence itself or the resulting carnage.
Mr. DEMME: An enormous amount of work went in the - into trying to figure out a way that we could deliver the full maximum power and horror of some of the phenomena contained in that story without grossing people out. And Tak Fujimoto, the director of photography, Christie Ziya, the production designer, and I and others just spent just so much time, how are we going to do this. And Christie, at a certain point, she went to the work of Francis Bacon and started bringing Francis Bacon images in. And saying, what if we did something like this. Maybe we could show it but not necessarily show it. And Tak said, yes. You know we could why...
DAVIES: Clarify Francis Bacon for the audience here.
Mr. DEMME: Francis Bacon, the great modern, disturbing English painter. Yeah. So - and then Tak would say, yes, I can light that. I can see how Francis Bacon is working with light and shadows here, and we can duplicate that, and we can work with that. So we got a lot of inspiration from Francis Bacon, and I hope that his estate doesn't now sue us or something. But so, that was a big, huge part of preparing for the movie.
DAVIES: Of course, that the dark heart of the film is the character of Hannibal Lecter, which is performed so brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins. And maybe we should just listen to a little bit. Do you have a favorite scene that you think captures that performance?
Mr. DEMME: All of them.
DAVIES: All of them. Well, let's listen to just a little.
Ms. JODIE FOSTER: (As Clarice Foster) Doctor Lecter, whose head is in that bottle?
Mr. ANTHONY HOPKINS: (As Hannibal Lecter) Why don't you ask me about Buffalo Bill?
Ms. FOSTER: (As Clarice Foster) Well, do you know something about him?
Mr. HOPKINS: (As Hannibal Lecter) I might if I still had the case file. You could get that for me.
Ms. FOSTER: (As Clarice Foster) Why don't we talk about Miss Muffin? You want me to find him.
Mr. HOPKINS: (As Hannibal Lecter) His real name is Benjamin Raspbell, a former patient of mine whose romantic attachments ran to, shall we say, the exotic. I did not kill him, I assure you, merely tucked him away as I found him after he missed three appointments.
Ms. FOSTER: (As Clarice Foster) But if you didn't kill him, then who did, sir?
Mr. HOPKINS: (As Hannibal Lecter) Who can say? Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere.
DAVIES: Well, you know, you did the horror classic of the generation. And you've done, you know, so many things, and then, of course, this most recent "Rachel Getting Married." What's next for you?
Mr. DEMME: I have begun work on a very special - I now have a very special opportunity to make a very special documentary about Bob Marley, and we are working very closely with the Marley family. And we have discovered hundreds of hours of quote unquote, "never before seen," performance footage, interview footage stuff that was mislabeled in a vault in London decades ago. And I can't tell you the treasure trove of stuff.
So it's going to be a film that really, hopefully is going to be the film that Bob Marley would have us make. It's going to be a film in Marley's words. We're not going to be cutting to people explaining him to us for us. And we're also going to do something which is a little unusual and in port - music portrait documentaries, is that, when we cut to a performance, we're going to let it play. We're not going to do a hot 20 seconds and then have people talk about how great that was. We're just going to let Bob Marley go.

Chennai, Feb. 5: Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Chennai airport today complained of operational problems following the second intrusion by an unidentified aircraft into Indian airspace in the last five days.
Official sources here said they cannot identify the aircraft but suspect that on both occasions it was a US Air Force plane. Chennai ATC failed to establish radio contact with a second mystery flight yesterday even though a blip movement appeared and lasted for nearly two hours on their radar.
In a near-repeat of the January 31 incident, the mystery plane yesterday did not respond to any of the radio channel frequencies, the sources said, adding that the aircraft was flying 150 to 160 miles east of Chennai.
On January 31, an unidentified aircraft, said to be a US air force Boeing 707, breached Indian airspace about 170 nautical miles east of the city airport.
After the incident, a team of top civil aviation, home ministry and air force officials rushed to Chennai for a spot inquiry into the aircraft overflying without prior permission.
The ATC has taken up yesterdays matter with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
A foreign aircraft was grounded in Mumbai on Monday after it entered Indian airspace without permission.
ATC sources said it was up to the DGCA to take further action. Movements (by any foreign plane) within our airspace should be coordinated, but that is not happening, the sources added.
In a related incident, the Communist Party of India today urged Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to take up the matter with the US authorities immediately. This is a matter of serious concern for Indian security, said CPI national secretary D. Raja. The Vajpayee government should raise the issue with the US of violating our air space every now and then.
Raja, who was here from New Delhi in connection with a party meeting, told reporters this was not the first time that the US was flouting all International norms and laws in this regard. He recalled how a helicopter from the US Seventh Fleet last year made sorties over the Kalpakkam nuclear power plant without permission from the ATC. This smacked of the US attitude of arrogance, Raja said.

text: I know another stroller thread- sorry. Does anyone have the Zooper Tango Double stroller?? I am looking at one on Craigslist. Purchased last yr and only used for the summer. was asking $300 but will go to $250. I am in need of a double that will hold ds2 and a newborn(foster). Our babies are only with us for a short period of time from discharge from the hospital. So I am looking for one that will hold an infant carrier. I recently sold a PP Aria twin - absolutely hated it. Didn't hold the infant carrier and steering was terrible. There also wasn't a flat recline to hold the infant either. I see mixed reviews on the tango double. Does anyone have any input?? thanks in advance

Though part of a much smaller track and field team than most of the girls she competes against, Christian Brothers Academy sophomore Anna Schug finds herself just as good – if not better – than any of them.
To prove this, Schug went to last weekend's state championship meet at Cicero-North Syracuse's Bragman Stadium and, by the time it was done, had earned the Division II (small school) state title in the 200-meter dash.
Schug won her preliminary race Friday in 25.09 seconds and entered the state final Saturday morning as the second-fastest qualifier behind Hornell's Jocelyn Acor, who had posted 24.95 seconds.
But in the final, Acor struggled and Schug took full advantage, improving to 25.06 seconds, which gave her the victory as Acor finished second in 25.31 seconds and Long Island Lutheran's Kennedy Kerr was third in 25.37 seconds.
Later that afternoon, Schug raced in the Federation 200-meter final and got fifth place, in 25.10 seconds, while New Rochelle's Symone Darius tore to victory in 23.83 seconds.
Up in Division I, Fayetteville-Manlius put together a series of top-five finishes and trips to the medal podium, even if it could not win any of the races.
None got closer to a state title than Bryce Millar, in the boys 3,200-meter run. Engaged in a tense stretch duel with Rush-Henrietta's Mickey Burke, Millar crossed the line in nine minutes, 4.28 seconds, less than half a second behind Burke, who won in 9:03.87.
Andrew Berge' would make his way to fourth place in the mile in 4:10.52, not far from the winning 4:07.82 posted by Tappan Zee's Luke Gavigan. Kyle Barber did well, too, in the 400-meter hurdles, earning fifth place in 54.81 seconds as Mount Vernon's Rai Benjamin won and broke a state meet record with 51.86 seconds.
Pairing up, Millar, Barber, Berge' and Jon Abbott would get to sixth place in the 4×800 relay in 7:51.94, beating out Liverpool (7:59.92) but still behind Warwick Valley's winning time of 7:44.25. In the 4×400, Barber, Ed Cheathen, Hamza ElHabbal and Jules Ngadula finished 10th in 3:26.20.
Jamesville-DeWitt's Zach Liebmann would contend in the pole vault, as he would clear 14 feet 6 inches to rise to sixth place. Fordham Prep's James Duetmeyer cleared 16'6" and earned the state championship.
In the 800-meter run, F-M's Jon Abbott and CBA's Jack Brower ran in the same heat, with Abbott posting 1:58.29 and Brower 1:59.40 as Abbott took 17th place overall, five spots ahead of Brower, who did place ninth among the Division II runners.
On the girls side, the Hornets' Annika Avery finished fourth in the 1,500-meter run in 4:37 flat, with Miller Place's Tiana Guevara prevailing in 4:30.03.
Alana Pearl matched that fourth-place effort in the 2,000-meter steeplechase, finishing in 6:58.78, with Pearl River's Kelly Hayes (6:49.47) on top, while Jenna Farrell was fifth in the Division I 3,000-meter run and eighth overall in 10:09.09.
Working together in the 4×800 relay, Pearl, Avery, Farrell and Jessica Howe claimed another medal as they rose to third place overall and second in Division I in 9:09.42, less than a second behind Division II champion Canton (9:08.51) as Corning, anchored by star freshman Jessica Lawson (who had beaten Farrell in the 3,000), won in 9:04.51.
Over in the girls triple jump, F-M's Christabel Ezidiegwu got 12th place with a top effort of 36'1 ¾". CBA's Tom SanGiacomo was 19th in the boys Division II 100-meter dash in 11.51 seconds.

Riven Build Guide by Marjones
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Riven Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Play defensive for the most of the time to keep the deaths as low as possible.
Last hitting is not really as inportant in normal games as in ranked but try get as much lasthitting as possible for early health and damage items and remember to join the teamfights.
Riven is needed in the teamfights cuz of her cc´s. The stun and the knockup really are great to help your team get some easy kills or save teammates. Also always start the teamfights activating your ult for extra damage and an easy kill pickup if enemies try to escape. Never use your ult unless your target got low health or if the duration is wearing off.
If you see that an enemy champion is going to charge you, just pretend your not seing what they are going to do and when they are close enough stun them with Ki Burst and shase them down with Broken Wings.
I use flat AD Marks and flat AD Quintessence´s for early game advandage and the flat armor Seals and flat magic reist Glyphs for extra defense and minimized health loss. What this does is giving you alot easier laning and bigger damage reduction. You can switch the flat AD marks to armor penetration if you want that instead.
Skill Sequence
I like to chose my skills even for higher damage and better damage absorb. If you miss with one skill you always got another one. Broken wings are a great skill for shasing down enemies and to get them knocked up so you can hit them with your Ki Burst, wich could result in an easy kill combined with Blade of the Exile´s ranged ability. A full combo of skills should look something like this in a normal fight when you attacks an enemy out of melee range: R Q Q Q W E R. While engaging a teamfight could look like this: R E Q Q W Q R. Also Broken Wings and Valor are really good when you need to escape from maybe a gank or if you get too low in a teamfight.
Summoner Spells
Use Ignite combined with Flash for easy escape and assasination mechanics. Heal and Exhaust is not a bad pick either. But i prefer Ignite for easier early game kills. If you want to take your role as the teams tank Clense could be something good to have too if your up against alot of cc champions in Draft pick mode or Ranked. Some summoner spells you should never pick going with this build is following: Promote,Clarity,Smite. I prefer not to take Teleport either because of the really long cd and the fact that you are playing tank/off tank means you will be on all lanes helping your team and always be on the move.
Ranked Play
In ranked this build is great for solo top. Pick as many last hits as possible and use your Valor to charge at your enemies and stun them with Ki Burst for great harassment. Never forget to hit your target with auto attacks between skills for your passive to give you even more damage output. Also buying a ward or two to but in some bushes around to prevent incomming ganks or to just have an eye on the Dragon or Baron Nashor. In ranked play as tanky as possible and dont be too greedy since that can result in unnecessary deaths.
Unique Skills
This build is made in a way that makes you deal high damage and still have enough health and resist to take the role as a tank in teamfights. Engaging the fight with Valor to give yourself more damage resist, and if thats not enough you got your Maw of Malmortius to prevent magic damage when you fall below 30% health.
When farming on riven you should always start with using all your stacks of Broken Wings and finish the minions with your Ki Burst. Also doing the opposite works too. Harass the enemy as much as possible if they get to close so that they know that if they try to hold you away from getting your last hits they may end up dead. Farming is something you are not supposed to do durning teamfight because that is just stupid and you wont get any kills or assists and your teammates needs your CC. So dont farm durning teamfights. Remember that the early farming ahve the most inportant role in the game and that the late farming dont do quite as much difference.
Creeping / Jungling
On larger monsters in the jungle, make sure to have a auto attack between every skill ussage for massive damage. Sometimes going in to the jungle will give you faster items. This rune setup works for all AD champions in the game that are capable of jungling. Never take the friendly jungle buffs unless your teams jungler says its ok. Stealing the buffs from the enemy jungle or just taking the big Wraths or Golem as counter jungling is really great and can totally ruin the enemy junglers jungling for a moment. That will result in that the enemy jungler will be under leveled and wont be able to do any good ganks. And help your jungler to sometimes look out for enemy counter jungling and try stop them if possible.
This is my simple Riven guide. This is how i play Riven and i hope that this guide helped you playing Riven as a offtank or tanky dps carry as i do. If there is anything you may want to ask about the item setup skill setup or my masteries, then just leave a comment bellow the guide so i can hopefully improve this guide and make it better and easier to understand.

Unanswered: Add quotes around Execl output from Macro
I have this line in a macro
Cells(584, 2).Value = Cells(16, 1).Value
It represents a drawing title that I import from a text file.
Since a particular drawing title has spaces in it, I need to add quotes around the exported name.
So the name at Cells(16, 2) is CUSTOM D SIZE DRAWING
It needs to be put in Cells(584, 2) as "CUSTOM D SIZE DRAWING"
Thanks for any help

I accidentally left it as (16,1).value instead of (16,1).text because I wasn't paying attention. Otherwise I changed everything exactly as you wrote and it is working perfectly.
You saved me a lot of headaches and I would give you a gold star sticker if I could.
Thanks for the help.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Mulshoe Early Origins
Buckinghamshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, having prevailed over King Harold, granted most of Britain to his many victorious Barons. It was not uncommon to find a Baron, or a Bishop, with 60 or more Lordships scattered throughout the country. These he gave to his sons, nephews and other junior lines of his family and they became known as under-tenants. They adopted the Norman system of surnames which identified the under-tenant with his holdings so as to distinguish him from the senior stem of the family. After many rebellious wars between his Barons, Duke William, commissioned a census of all England to determine in 1086, settling once and for all, who held which land. He called the census the Domesday Book, [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) indicating that those holders registered would hold the land until the end of time. Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Goathurst(Gothurst, Gathurst, Gayhurst) held by Robert de Noyers who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086.

Floating voters do not believe David Cameron will deliver EU referendum
FLOATING voters in crucial marginal constituencies do not believe David Cameron will deliver on his promised in/out referendum on Britain's EU membership, new research has found.
With this debate set to dominate the political agenda for the next few years, it's important that we fully understand the priorities of the voters on this very important issue for the country.
The bloc of key voters see regaining control over Britain's borders as its top priority and would be much more likely to opt to leave the EU if such powers are not returned to London, a Business for Britain (BfB) commissioned report found.
But the voters think the Prime Minister only made his referendum pledge to neutralise the threat from Ukip at the upcoming general election and will fail to see it through because "he won't risk giving us a say".
The BfB pressure group, which campaigns for a renegotiated relationship with Brussels, said it was vital that the Government listened to the pubic's concerns over Europe.
Chief executive Matthew Elliott said: "Business for Britain commissioned this research to explore what people are actually thinking about efforts to reform the EU and how this will impact any future referendum.
"With this debate set to dominate the political agenda for the next few years, it's important that we fully understand the priorities of the voters on this very important issue for the country."
The research was carried out by Dominic Cummings, Education Secretary Michael Gove's former special adviser - who has been a notable critic of Mr Cameron since leaving Whitehall - and does not represent the views of BfB.
Mr Elliott said: "As a business campaign, there are issues debated in the report which are outside our main remit, but it is important for us as a campaign - and people in Westminster and Whitehall - to understand what the public wants from a new deal with the EU."
The research focused on specific social groups identified as swing voters in the marginal seats of Warwickshire North, Thurrock, and Hendon.
Voters believe Mr Cameron has "bad priorities" and is "good for the rich, not us" but Mr Miliband is seen as "wishy washy" and not prime minister material, the research found.
Meanwhile, Germany's finance minister Wolfgang Schauble said the UK was "indispensable" to the EU and that everything should be done to ensure it remains a member state.
Mr Schauble's comments come on the back of David Cameron's failed bid to block federalist and former-Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker from winning the nomination for European Commission President.
"The EU without the UK is absolutely not acceptable, unimaginable," Mr Schaule reportedly said.
"Therefore we have to do everything, so that the interests and the positions of the UK find themselves sufficiently [represented] in European politics.
"That is exactly the thing that the German chancellor (Angela Merkel) repeatedly tries to do."
But he said it is not just Germany that should reach out to UK, adding: "The UK is vital to the EU and all its institutions and member states should listen to what London has to say.
"We have lots of common ground with Her Majesty's Government for example with regard to economic reforms, to the effective use of EU funds and to a strong preference for subsidiarity in decision-making.
"And we agree Europe cannot afford to stand still during the next legislature but must tackle urgently needed structural reforms to boost growth."
He went on to say that "historically, politically, democratically, culturally" Britain is "entirely indispensable for Europe".
"And besides, Great Britain is one of the biggest economies in Europe and by a great distance one of the most important financial centres of the world," he observed.
The German finance minister played down the damage done by the row over Mr Juncker's nomination, saying it was "no disaster" that a consensus could not be found on this occasion.
"Democracy always involves arguments, and European integration is a development which is seen a bit differently in the member states," he said.

Posted by Ken Boehm at 6:00 PM

Ultimate Spider-man #200 looks to be a good read. Surprised we haven't got a What If on if Pete lived but this covers that and man leave it to Bobby to need a head smack. New Warriors is looking fun.
Love that Aquaman is getting another monthly title.
Also glad that Kaine's story is continuing with New Warriors.
I was wondering what the deal was with all those different two-page spreads in Ultimate Spider-Man. Each was a possible scenario for what Peter would've been up to by now. Interesting.
Deadpool vs Carnage was also fun this week. Love Magneto's new ongoing. And Detective Comics starts it's new creative team with beautiful artwork by Francis Manapul.
Black Science is great, I really didnt see that coming. I was more thinking it was some sort of Secret dimension police.
Opening pages of Moon Knight was badass. Love how they use his cape to some what form the panel bleed with the white very beautiful stuff there.

My name is Kirk Warren and I'm a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn't know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

AS much as I was pleased about the performance and the result on Friday night, I have to mention how impressed I was by Alessandro Del Piero. At a tender 37, he is still a class act and very clever.
Silky touch, football smarts and, most importantly, a winning mentality. That's why he gets cranky - he wants to win. Whether playing as a nine in the first half or a 10 in the second, his positional sense is uncanny.
He is aware, he "lives" in the game and that is why he always seems to have time on the ball.
He is a quality player and when Sydney eventually turn things around (and they will) I feel there's even better yet to come.
The league needs Sydney to do well. Politics and parochialism aside, we need the big-city teams with big population bases performing and attracting big crowds to keep the snowball rolling.
The league has a level of excitement about it reminiscent of season one, in no small part due to the presence of Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono.
There is a newness about it - a freshness that we need to cash in on. I'm tired of the game being beaten up by the other codes, so if someone can get Becks and his missus here as well, then fair play.
He is a genuine world celebrity who happens to be a half-decent footballer.
He would send the media and A-list types into a frenzy and that can only give the game yet another boost in the competition for supporters.
Del Piero is a quality player and ... I feel there's even better yet to come
New FFA chief executive David Gallop said in his address at the announcement of the new media deal that the sleeping giant was awakening (we've all heard that before).
There might be reasonable justification this time.
I said after last week's win over Heart that there was room for improvement in our team and we all saw some of that at Allianz on Friday.
And we can get better as the season progresses. Our three new foreigners - Fabio Ferreira, Marcello Carrusca and Jeronimo - have done well but are still learning the nuances of the A-League and Australian life.
It's hard getting to the top and harder staying there. The players showed character to win on Friday - they have to keep showing it.
In the meantime they can enjoy the plaudits they are getting for what they've achieved so far.

PARIS, France — By the time Gregory Hendricks noticed his wife's passport was missing during their Paris-bound flight from Washington Dulles International airport, it was already too late. After they arrived at Paris' Charles De Gaulle airport, the Hendricks were escorted through a security checkpoint to board a return flight home.
The in-flight theft that Gregory Hendricks blames for ruining the surprise French vacation he gave his wife might be more common than you think. While no government agency or industry group keeps statistics on in-flight theft, it's not hard to find examples of the crime.
Last month, five business-class passengers traveling from Tokyo on an overnight Air France flight to Paris woke to find 4,000 euros in cash and other currency missing. A police investigation is ongoing in that case.
In April, the son of television actress Cybill Shepherd is scheduled to stand trial for in-flight theft. Cyrus Shepherd-Oppenheim, 22, was arrested last month after passengers identified him as the person who stole cash, a digital camera and other items from the carry-on bags of fellow travelers during a flight from San Francisco to Philadelphia.
"There's a false sense of security on a plane," said Steven Frischling, a frequent flyer turned airline industry blogger, who has written about the subject. "People feel safe because they're in a confined metal tube. What can happen?"
Once passengers disembark and the items are gone, there is little anyone can do. The Tokyo-Paris flight may have attracted attention because it involved a large sum and it occurred in a business-class cabin, which is generally smaller and thought to be safer.
Nevertheless, an Air France spokeswoman said, "Passengers bear the sole responsibility for baggage that is not checked-in." The company maintained that such occurrences are "infinitesimal" when considering that the airline transports about 150,000 passengers on 1,700 flights daily.
Detectives in flights' destination cities do follow up on cases and network with each other, according to Paul Sireci, the chief of police at Tampa International Airport. His department, for instance, generated seven in-flight theft reports in 2008, compared to 131 theft reports airport-wide.
"If you are a victim of a theft then one theft is a problem," Sireci wrote in an email. "But considering the number of flights we have during the year, seven reports of theft is a very small occurrence."
The incident involving the Tokyo passengers was covered by the media and likely will be forgotten in a few months. But for passengers who've experienced a similar inconvenience, it's a lesson learned hard and remembered.
"I was kind of jaded in thinking that people who made that trip were pretty honest folks," said Hendricks, 49, by telephone. Asked why, he said, "because of the price of the ticket." Upon further reflection, he added, "Now, it might be why they can afford to fly."
How they do it
Frischling said he has been in anonymous contact with thieves who make a living stealing at airports. "There is a definite method to doing this," he said.
In-flight thieves, Frischling said, would be likely to check-in online 24 hours in advance, picking a seat toward the rear of the plane. They prefer aisle seats and may feign an injury so they're allowed to board early. This way, they can observe who is putting what where and how into the overhead bins. Are fellow passengers placing the zipper side of a suitcase toward the back wall or not, allowing for easy access? Which bags have locks? Are laptops being stored overhead?
Or the culprit could be one's seatmate, as Paula Patrice, a New-York based model and actress, suspected when $350 was missing from a wallet inside her large Louis Vuitton bag after she used the restroom during a flight. When she wasn't able to produce $5 to pay the flight attendant for her beverage even though she knew it had been there just moments before, "I was conflicted, so I did nothing," she wrote in an email. "It seemed like there was no good recourse."
Patrice, a frequent traveler, didn't want to cause a scene or accuse her seatmate without any firm evidence. "She didn't take the wallet, so how does one identify cash?" said Patrice.
Hendricks said he remembered a man coming from the back of the plane and rummaging through the compartment above his seat. At the time, "I was thinking there is no room up there," he said, but he did not say anything. Passengers are generally too polite to stare and reluctant to speak up, Frischling said.
Thieves are also rather specific about what they're looking for: wallets, cell phones, compact cameras and other small electronics that can be sold on eBay or to a pawnshop, Frischling said. Passports are usually not their primary targets since doctoring them has become increasingly difficult.
Hendricks said that after informing the crew about the missing passport, he innocently thought passengers would be searched as they exited the plane. "I thought they would stop everyone before they got too far." But all the flight attendants could do was search the cabin and apologize.
Lessons learned
"I'm a savvy sort of person," said Tom Hayes, 59, an international labor expert. "I know how to look after myself." But he distracted and tired last month on an American Airlines overnight flight from Chicago to Brussels, when his passport disappeared.
Hayes was seated in business class and allowed the flight attendant to hang up his jacket in a closet with his Irish passport inside. Normally, he said, he wouldn't have left the passport in the jacket pocket.
Had he not been a "middle-aged white guy" with European Union citizenship, Hayes said, things might have turned out differently at the immigration counter in Belgium where he was allowed to enter the country. (A spokesman for the Brussels Airport immigration division said border police have the discretion to admit travelers into the country based on some proof of identity.)
"It's not an issue I'll be dealing with again," Hayes said.
Patrice said she learned to "keep petty cash on hand separate from your travel stash."
The Hendrickses learned a few valuable lessons too. Since the incident in late 2006, they have kept their passports "in one of those carriers that go around your neck and down your shirt." The travel insurance they had so dutifully purchased did not protect them from in-flight theft. And calling the U.S. embassy in Paris on a Sunday for help to replace a stolen passport, Gregory Hendricks said, was "like getting a recording at a hospital" that said, "If this is an emergency, we'll be open tomorrow."


text: Tight Pussy? Not sure why most of main stream society seems to be into tighter pussy being better. Obviously there is the idea that a woman with a tighter vagina is less of a slut than a woman with a looser pussy. I can see where most men prefer a tighter girl in the security of thinking she has not been sleeping around with many men and they may have sole privy to her constricting cunt. I can also understand how most men prefer the strained sensation of penetrating a pussy that clasps firmly around their cock. I too admit it can feel incredible when a cunt clamps down on my cock while slowly moving in and out. I've been with a few women that also know how to contract the muscles inside to squeeze my dick periodically, that is an amazing feeling I must admit. However as much as I appreciate the type of sensations that come with a tight pussy, I also thoroughly enjoy the way a loose pussy feels. I don't think enough men give credit to the opposite of what most women believe men prefer. Seems so many women tell me that they are proud of how tight their pussy can be, though that is appealing in a sense, but I'd like to know it can also be loose and be able to stretch out. Loose pussies can be soooo much fun to play with. I have to give praise to the sensation a loosened cunt offers. As far as the feeling on my dick goes, I enjoy how deep I can penetrate a widened pussy, to be able to tickle her cervix while I thrust into her gives me a rush. It certainly allows for better 'jackhammer sex' too. Much easier to just POUND away on a woman for a good length of time when she is stretched out. And fisting, quite hard to do with a woman who is tighter than a vice. The thought of me loosening up a woman is exciting to me. Gets me hot knowing I have stretched out her love canal from an evening of thrusting in and out of her. Had a few hubbies too tell me they love the feeling of their own wife after she has been stretched with me. Mentally stimulating I think knowing I've left my mark on her so to speak!

About 15 years ago I first started going to so called LAN-parties. An event that basically boils down to a bunch of teenage gamer nerds gathering for a sleep deprived weekend of unhealthy food, energy drinks and of course playing games until your face smacks into your greasy keyboard. Fun times.
Fast forward 5 years and I started my architectural education… which turned into 5 years of surviving on energy drinks, sleep deprivation, staring at buildings like a drug-addict and an eating pattern that makes Supersize Me feel like a vegan promo movie.
So after leaving architecture school almost 2 years ago I felt like I needed a good old sleepless weekend, drinking liters of energy drinks and some hardcore nerding. Together with two friends I participated in Emakina's 2015 Emhackinathon.

They are putting expanders under both muscles. The 2nd mastectomy will be done leaving my nipple and skin entact (scooping out). I was wondering how painful this is? I heard it's quite painful. After 3 weeks, every week I go in to have more saline injected into the expanders.
Aug 20, 2002 - 11:22 am
I had a double mastectomy and expanders placed at the time of that surgery. Each time they fill the expanders you are trying to stretch the skin and sometimes three weeks is not enough time between fills. If it is done too soon, it can traumatize the area and yes feel very hard, tight and painful. You are in the pilot seat to tell your doctor what you can tolerate. The expanders can be there for a year plus a couple of months. That is what I am presently going through. Slow is better because you want to avoid the scar tissue or encapsulation which makes the pseudo breasts very hard and uncomfortable. This procedure however gives you choices as to how you want to do a final reconstruction. I now know I would not like the saline implants because of the way the fluid in the expanders feel. I am opting for the latisimus dorsi flap with a small medical grade silicon implant to rebuild both breasts. This way I do not have to replace the implant every 8 to 10 years. Wishing you the best

D.C. Police Chief Resigns
and Sari Horwitz
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, Nov. 26, 1997; Page A01
D.C. Police Chief Larry D. Soulsby resigned yesterday, less than two hours before the police lieutenant with whom he shared a cut-rate luxury apartment was charged with extorting money from married men who frequented gay bars.
Support for the embattled chief eroded abruptly after reports that he was sharing an apartment at the Lansburgh building that allegedly had been obtained under false pretenses by his longtime friend, police Lt. Jeffery S. Stowe, who received deeply discounted rent after telling the landlord the apartment would be used for police undercover work.
"I cannot allow another controversy to impact on my officers and to detract from their accomplishments," said a tearful Soulsby, his voice quivering as he announced his resignation at a news conference at police headquarters. "My concern for the welfare of my officers and the people they serve transcends my own personal welfare."
Soulsby's departure leaves the beleaguered 4,500-member department in deep disarray at a time when reform efforts were expected to go into high gear. The control board saw Soulsby as the leader who could carry out an overhaul of the department outlined in a series of reports from management consultants.
If the control board and city officials determine they need an outside candidate to lead the department, it could take several months to find a new chief.
Soulsby's departure came after a 90-minute meeting with Stephen D. Harlan, vice chairman of the control board, and a subsequent meeting with several city officials, including Mayor Marion Barry (D), control board Chairman Andrew F. Brimmer and D.C. Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp (D).
Said Soulsby in his announcement: "I have therefore decided on my own accord to step aside as chief of police . . . but not because I feel I have done anything wrong. Although I seem somewhat emotional . . . this is the happiest day I have had in two years."
Soulsby, 47, blamed the media and political infighting for his troubles, saying both detracted from his ability to run the department.
Soulsby yesterday denied any knowledge that Stowe had misled managers of the luxury building on Seventh Street NW to obtain a two-bedroom apartment for $650 a month, less than half the going rate of $1,700 to $2,000.
A spokesman for the building, who asked not to be identified, said: "We were told that we would be cooperating with a police matter, and Mr. Stowe made the contact and put the arrangements in place."
Soulsby said in an interview last night that he was not a party to the discount deal.
"[Stowe] told me he had a couple of friends that could get us an apartment at a reduced rent," Soulsby said. "I didn't think much about it . . . and I was also told the place wasn't that full anyway."
Soulsby said he never talked to anyone in the apartment's office about the rent. "I never dealt with anyone in the office."
Soulsby said that once he found out last week about the arrangement, he called the apartment managers and said he would be out before the end of the month.
"I've moved out," said Soulsby, who said he began packing Monday night. "I'm contemplating where to move next. I'm staying with non-police friends outside the city."
He said he didn't want to get specific because "I'm not a public figure anymore."
"I need to take some time off and chill out," he said. "I'm just tired, very tired. I'm tired of fighting these silly battles.
"I'm actually very pleased to be leaving," he said. "It was a tremendous pressure removed, the moment I decided to leave. It was like taking a 1,200-pound gorilla off my shoulders."
Soulsby said Stowe already had moved from the building. Soulsby said the arrest of Stowe took him by surprise. Regarding the charges brought against his longtime friend, Soulsby said, "It's astonishing. It's wild. It seems so much out of character.
"I trusted him as a friend, and he violated that trust," Soulsby said. "I am very disappointed."
Soulsby said that when he was with Stowe on the golf course, they never talked about the department and never discussed Stowe's personal problems, including bankruptcy.
Soulsby said that he didn't spend much time with Stowe at the apartment because "frankly, he stayed there very seldom."
The chief's departure brings to a close a tenure in office that was marked by other controversies, including the resignations of his four top managers this year; the ouster of his homicide commander and the transfer of 17 homicide supervisors; a homicide unit that solved only one-third of the District's slayings; and mismanagement and waste in several divisions.
Through it all, though, Soulsby had the unwavering public support of the control board, Barry and several council members.
"Chief Soulsby has been one of the best crime-fighting chiefs this city has had in a long time," said Barry, who appointed Soulsby and stood beside him as he announced his decision to step down. "I want to certainly say I'm glad that I made the choice."
Harlan, the control board member who oversees the police department, applauded Soulsby for leading the charge to change the department.
"I have mixed emotions," Harlan said. "He has changed the department in many, many ways. He's made some real tough decisions. . . . Larry Soulsby did one heck of a fine job, and I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart."
Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), a staunch Soulsby supporter, said it was time for the chief to leave.
"Events . . . have unfortunately overcome this chief and this department, and it's time to step aside," Evans said.
Deputy U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., the former U.S. attorney for the District, agreed.
"I think the decision he made is appropriate," Holder said in a telephone interview yesterday. "It is clear there will be controversy about his involvement with Stowe. The danger was if he stayed . . . then the potential for damage [to the department] was there."
Soulsby was given unprecedented power in February to reshape the department with the help of the control board and the consulting firm of Booz-Allen & Hamilton. Ten months later, the department remains in disarray, and the chief who was going to lead the effort to repair it is now gone.
It will be up to Barry to choose someone who can step in and put the recommended changes in place. The mayor has the legal authority to nominate the next chief of police, who must be confirmed by the D.C. Council.
But Brimmer said Barry will not nominate anyone without prior approval from the "Memorandum of Understanding Partners," a group chaired by Harlan that includes local law enforcement and political leaders working to improve public safety.
Barry said he would work closely with the group, which has been meeting weekly to address crime problems since last winter.
"No person would be nominated by the mayor without the approval and concurrence and support of the MOU partners," Brimmer said.
Brimmer said no decision has been made about who will pay the executive search firm that will look for the next chief. However, he said that if the control board pays the bill, the search firm will report to the board.
Soulsby, who was on the force for 26 years, was paid $110,000 a year. He will receive a $74,800 annual pension, excluding accrued leave and benefits.
