The journey that began in sadness five years ago for the 1923 E.M. Skinner Opus 407 pipe organ came to a happy conclusion Sunday, Sept. 9. The exquisite gem of an instrument that started its life of service to the faithful at the now-shuttered St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Germantown was officially given a second life of making music for the parishioners of Old St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Society Hill with a service of blessing and dedication.
The solo organ recital was performed by Andrew Senn. The Curtis Institute of Music alumnus previously was organist and music director of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Germantown; he now occupies the same position at the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. Senn opened the program with his own transcription of Rossini's Overture to his opera, "The Turk in Italy." J.S. Bach's "Prelude & Fugue in E-flat major" followed. Senn then played the Folk Tune and Andante Tranquilo movements from Percy Whitlock's "Five Short Pieces," Franck's "Choral No. 1 in E major" and closed with Vierne's "Les Cloches de Hinckley."
Pipe organs are always designed to fit into a specific space and to support a specific liturgy. In the case of Skinner's Opus 407, the architectural setting was in the Victorian Gothic Revival of the second half of the 19th century; the liturgical practice was the "low church," Protestant-leaning worship style of many if not most Episcopal congregations at the time in the U.S. Although Old St. Joseph's Church is the oldest parish in Philadelphia, its current church is the third structure built on the site. Styled in the Greek Revival fashion of the early 19th century, it was consecrated in 1837. Gothic Revival churches tend toward both visual and acoustical darkness whereas Greek Revival churches tend to be bright and open in look and sound.
Old St. Joseph's boasts among the best acoustics in Philadelphia: opulently resonant without too much reverberation. It would, therefore, be a venue in which the Skinner would be able to speak with a more forward sonic projection. One would assume that its tones would be more crisply delivered, and its colors would be more sharply delineated. And this was definitely the case Sunday afternoon for an audience that nearly filled the church's intimate space.
Senn accompanied the full-throated singing of the hymns by the congregation with style and panache, and the Skinner served him superbly. He was equally proficient accompanying the parish's Schola Cantorum (an all-volunteer choir drawn from parishioners conducted by the church's music director, Norman Gouin) in Benjamin Britten's "Festival Te Deum." The Schola also gave a lovely rendition of Pitoni's unaccompanied "Cantate Domino."
Senn's transcription of the Rossini may have been an odd choice with which to open an organ recital following a religious service, but it did show off the instrument's symphonic concept. One did, indeed, hear the various choirs of an opera orchestra preparing its audience for a delightful music comedy. The Skinner worked less well in the Bach. It reminded me of a pianist playing a Prelude & Fugue from the Well-Tempered Klavier (meant by Bach for the harpsichord) with the damper pedal held down too long.

Thomas Scott's family is expanding. Slowly, quietly it is growing, two others found the brother and sister of Thomas. Maybe with three names we will find the parents of Thomas this next year.
It is interesting that we tie to SCOTT in Mass, Canada and Illinois in that order for the other line. This came about via DNA testing.
Theory, (Mine) is siblings went to different ports of entry in the 1700's ? maybe the 1600's. Since I already have SCOTT with KIMBALL in New England earlier than this. Relationship totally unknown.
Today on MyHeritage I found links to: Star Scott, Wayne Kinney, salterc, Ginny Moberly and two others. I did not accept a couple because the names are common and the parents were not listed. Thoroughly suspect they are kin. If they say they have not found that information then I will gladly share. The more eyes and ears searching the better chance of people finding results.
That is how we untangled the other Scott siblings of Thomas.
I learned the names of other children that I had not yet confirmed.
So why have a blog(?) Randy Seaver was asked today at our meeting, the answer is to resolve and solve our problems and find answers to the situations. Best is to meet new family and learn more about ourselves.
Thomas Scott born? VA? about 1735-40 married and had children by 1761, actually think first child born in 1750's. Wife Susanna Payne, was in Halifax Co. VA. After his death the area became known as Pittsylvania Co.,VA. I am descendant of John and Sophia Murry through Shadrack and Harriet Lewis SCOTT, down, down, down, down to myself.
Gladly share and exchange data located and have.

Susi-I read where you posted an Ann Scott is a sister to Thomas Scott. Who is the brother to Thomas that was found thur DNA?ReplyDelete
I will pull up the Scott folder and get a response to you. YDNA has been found verifying information. That is how we found each otherReplyDelete
Ftdna.com did tests. We had communicated years ago but the proof was not found until the Ydna was done. Then we relinked. I also have the Scott book done by Kenneth Scott on the family and have added many pages of data via surviving kin on line.
I have sent to RichardDale_J who responds to me on Ancestry.ReplyDelete

Rabbi Miller guided the founding of the Bayit Vegan campus and established the Gruss Institute for advanced rabbinical study. He devoted 60 years of his life to the University, first as a student and then as an administrator. For Rabbi Miller, the beit midrash at the Israel Campus personified limud Torah. Every day hundreds of students spend time developing their learning and teaching skills, exploring the vast treasures of Torah and preparing for lives as professional and lay leaders of the Jewish community. The learning environment in the beit midrash continues to offer a microcosm of the devotion to rabbinic tradition and intellectual diversity emblematic of Yeshiva University. Beyond Our Campus Beyond the Israel Campus, new technologies are opening virtual windows to talmidim throughout the world, enabling them to join in study through webcasts of daily classes that are taught in Jerusalem. The presence of Yeshiva University in Jerusalem infuses Israeli society with the values of Torah Umadda, the University's guiding philosophy. And soon, a new venture will extend Yeshiva University's reach by bringing recent musmachim to communities throughout Israel as leaders of satellite kollelim. Pilot programs are planned for Ra'anana and Modi'in, cities in which Yeshiva University alumni are well represented.

It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
Check with your doctor or hospital emergency room immediately if severe headache, stiff neck, chest pains, fast heartbeat, or nausea and vomiting occur while you are taking this medicine. These may be symptoms of a serious high blood pressure reaction that should have a doctor's attention.
When taken with certain foods, drinks, or other medicines, procarbazine can cause very dangerous reactions such as sudden high blood pressure. To avoid such reactions, obey the following rules of caution :
After you stop using this medicine you must continue to obey the rules of caution concerning food, drink, and other medication for at least 2 weeks since procarbazine may continue to react with certain foods or other medicines for up to 14 days after you stop taking it.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert.
While you are being treated with procarbazine, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Procarbazine may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not take or should not have recently taken oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid persons who have taken oral polio vaccine. Do not get close to them and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
Procarbazine can lower the number of white blood cells in your blood temporarily, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
For diabetic patients:
If you are going to have surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are using this medicine or have used it within the past 2 weeks.
Your doctor may want you to carry an identification card stating that you are using this medicine.

Who Really Cares About International Football?
The three month long wait over the summer for the Premier League to begin sometimes felt excruciating. Weekend mornings were dulled and it became difficult to fill the empty space. And as much as I enjoyed a very entertaining final few games in the women's World Cup, as well as the Copa America (despite the commentary being in a language I couldn't understand), it just wasn't the same. It was only on August 13 that everything felt right with the world. As the season began with as many plot lines as there are super stars now at Man City, it was once again put on hold for a few international qualifiers coupled with a handful of friendlies. Seriously, is this really necessary?
I love the World Cup and the Euros as much as the next crazed football fan, but I could certainly live a happy life never having to watch the national teams play otherwise. I used to enjoy international football, even friendlies, because it was exciting to see how each country was shaping up, and when Liverpool's players were playing, it provided even more incentive for interest.
Now I really don't care. Whenever one of these ridiculous international breaks come up, I pray to the football Gods that none of Liverpool's players get injured (and perhaps a cheeky prayer that some of the opposition players do). All we ever seem to see after an international break is players limping off the field after the manager promised not to play them too long, accompanied by poor results in the league that following weekend.
I just can't seem to wrap my head around the placement of these international breaks. Although due to unfortunate circumstances, many English players dodged a bullet not having to play a friendly THREE days before the Premier League began. Who on earth decided that was a good time to send these players away to play international friendlies? And I'd love to know the genius who decided that not only would it be great to have internationals a few days before the season kicks off, but again in three weeks time.
You see, momentum is a strange thing. Games can change in an instant and certain events occur in a split second that swing momentum in a positive direction. I think most Liverpool fans, as well as Manchester United, Manchester City, and even Wolves fans would agree that momentum was building for their clubs after the first three games of the season. To halt that momentum with a two week break where club managers have to entrust national team ones with the health of their best players is far from ideal.
I can't even count how many times Benitez reluctantly handed over Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger to England and Denmark respectively, and was in turn handed back a broken midfielder and center back. It's gotten to the point that managers have started to beg and plead with their players not to play in these games unless it is absolutely crucial.
And friendlies? Give me a break (no pun intended). Friendlies need to be played with younger or second string international players, or at least with the first choice players not playing the full ninety minutes.
And more to the point, who exactly is watching these international games? Unless it's a major tournament, who really cares how well San Marino play against Uzbekistan in a friendly?
That's not to say there aren't big national team followings, and there are a lot of football fans who only follow international games. I am in no way discrediting their passion or nationalistic pride.
But at the end of the day, these players are not paid by England, or Argentina, or Denmark. They are paid by and extremely important to their club teams and it has become a shambles how distraught the relationship between club and country has become. Club managers no longer have any faith in the respective national team setups and are constantly forced to make changes when players come back injured.
I have two suggestions to rectify the pestilence that is the international break.
Number One: Qualifying for major tournaments happens over ONE period of a few weeks each season. Qualifying becomes almost a mini-tournament in itself and teams are seeded to allow the teams to play as few games as possible.
Number Two: The qualifying games are to be played during the summer, or during a winter break. Now it's true that at this moment in time, England does not have a winter break, but perhaps they should. This would give players a much needed rest during the year, and give the opportunity for international games to be played without disrupting the leagues when the season is in full swing. Players and managers in the UK have long advocated for a winter break as it seems pretty successful in other European leagues.
Even if both suggestions were combined and some qualifiers were played during the summer, and the other ones played during the winter, it would help the leagues, help the players, and perhaps even attract more fans to the international games.
I think more than anything that club fans have started to despise these breaks because they come at such awkward times in the year. Maybe the love for international football would return if it wasn't thrust upon fans at the worst possible times in the football calendar.
And even more to the point, what do fans and players alike value more, international level football or the Champions League? The Champions League has become such a massive tournament every year that many value its importance and difficulty to win as the holy grail as opposed to winning the World Cup. Playing in the Champions League has become the pinnacle for footballers as so many made abundantly clear upon their transfers in the last couple of years. If you're not in the Champions League, you don't have a hope in hell of signing top class players. Liverpool have certainly had to learn this lesson the hard way.
Even so, a lot of players still take a lot of pride in playing for their national team, and that's great to see. Spaniards, Uruguayans, Brazilians, and the Dutch all take enormous pride playing for their national team, whereas English players see it as more of a hinderance. This is evident in how these countries perform on the world stage and the attitude the players bring to the team.
So what is the solution? For better or worse, international football is one side of the game as a whole and the club vs. country row will continue forever. The only way forward is for FIFA and each country's domestic league to come up with a better system in which to balance both sides of the footballing coin. And no matter what they come up with, it has to be better than what there is now.

I agree the timing of these games could be better and friendlies are totally pointless! In the past International football was the pinnacle and watching 2 great nations play each other was exciting. Howevere, nowadays with such large player movemnet in the world a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid, for example will have so much more skillfull players involved than an international and I'd wager that Barcelona would probably win the World Cup if they could enter it
Unaaprllleed accuracy, unequivocal clarity, and undeniable importance!
I've become quite accustomed to the feeling of boredom watching international friendlies but, lately, I've started to feel bored watching qualifying matches as well. I find myself looking at the TV and wondered if there's something better on BBC2. I can't explain what it is. It could be that I feel jaded after so many years of supporting England only to be disappointed by their inability to show up at finals. Or perhaps lethargy has descended over the whole England team. I do know that something needs to be done to inject more passion into their games. Give youth a chance, change the format of qualifying to at least provide more challenge, or just stick a ruddy big tiger on the pitch to get the game moving again.

The Japanese-American WWII Nisei soldiers from the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) will be honored in an exhibit of the Congressional Gold Medal (CGM), touring seven U.S. cities this year, as follows:
- National World War II Museum, New Orleans, LA: January 12 – February 17, 2013
- Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI: March 9 – April 14, 2013
- Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles, CA: May 4 – June 9, 2013
- De Young Museum, San Francisco, CA: June 29 – August 4, 2013
- Oregon Historical Society, Portland, OR: August 24 – September 29, 2013
- Chicago History Museum, Chicago, IL – October 19 – December 8, 2013
- Houston Holocaust Museum, Houston, TX – December 21, 2013 – January 24, 2014
During its 6-week visit to Honolulu, March 9-April 14, Bishop Museum's Castle Memorial Building will be the home of the Congressional Gold Medal (CGM). In addition to the Medal, exhibits from the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Military Intelligence Service, and other related organizations will also be on display. Two iPads programmed with CGM information from the National WWII Museum will also be part of the exhibit. In addition, exciting weekly panel discussions and film and documentary screenings will also be presented throughout this exciting and historic engagement.
A private, invitation-only VIP breakfast reception and ceremony will precede the official opening of the exhibit on Saturday, March 9th. The public is invited to tour the CGM exhibit, as well as other exhibits at Bishop Museum, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., that day, for free. (NOTE: More information on the panel discussions and other activities during the CGM exhibit will be provided in our next release.)
The National Veterans Network (www.nationalveteransnetwork.com), the organizer of the national tour of the Congressional Gold Medal, has also created a curriculum for teachers to use in class, to give their students a deeper understanding of the units the Medal is honoring, as an important part of our history.
The Congressional Gold Medal is a tribute to the thousands of Japanese-Americans of the 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, commonly known as the "Go For Broke" regiments, and the Military Intelligence Service (or MIS) who dedicated their lives with honor and loyalty to the United States during WWII.
After the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941, Americans of Japanese ancestry became victims of discrimination and negative stereotypes, and over 120,000 Japanese and Japanese-American citizens were held in internment camps throughout the United States. Despite the many challenges they – and their families at home – faced, the soldiers in these units were among the most highly decorated in U.S. military history. More than 4,000 Purple Hearts, 560 Silver Stars, 7 Presidential Units Citations, and 21 Medals of Honor were awarded to members of the GO FOR BROKE regiment.
Partnering to share these inspiring stories of valor and sacrifice are Bishop Museum, the National Veterans Network, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
The Congressional Gold Medal commemorative event is designed to celebrate these citizens and soldiers, and also to educate today's youth who may have little recognition or understanding about these heroes.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
In this image taken from video, Miami police officers stand watch near a naked man, second from right, who was shot by a police officer when he refused to stop chewing on the face of the naked man next to him. (Photo: AP Photo/The Miami Herald)
MIAMI (AP) — Authorities were seeking more witnesses Tuesday to help explain what led a naked man to start chewing another naked man's face and whose only response when confronted by police was to growl and keep attacking - even after being shot.
At least one witness so far has said he saw the attack Saturday on a busy highway off-ramp. Police have identified the attacker as Rudy Eugene, 31.
The victim, who has not been identified, is in critical condition at a hospital. Both men were naked at the time of the attack, The Miami Herald reported.
"We know that there were many people on the MacArthur Causeway and we're hoping they come forward," Detective William Moreno was quoted Monday by the newspaper as saying.
Police have released few details about the attack, other than confirming that an officer had fatally shot a suspect.
A police spokesman and the Miami-Dade County medical examiner did not immediately return telephone calls Tuesday from The Associated Press.
Witness Larry Vega was riding his bicycle Saturday afternoon off the MacArthur Causeway that connects downtown Miami with Miami Beach when he saw the savage attack, he told local news media.
"The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, 'Get off!'" Vega told Miami television station WSVN (http://bit.ly/L6kwWt). "The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin."
Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victim. The attacker just picked his head up and growled at the officer, Vega said.
As the attack continued, Vega said the officer shot the attacker, who continued chewing the victim's face. The officer fired again, killing the attacker.
A surveillance camera from The Miami Herald building nearby captured images of the men's naked legs lying side by side after the shooting.
Vega said the victim appeared gravely injured.
"It was just a blob of blood," Vega said. "You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place."
Vega declined to speak Tuesday with The Associated Press. He said he was trying to put the attack behind him.
Ives Eugene, who identified himself as Rudy Eugene's uncle, described his nephew as a "nice and hard-working" man who washed cars at a local dealership.
In a telephone interview, Eugene, 55, said his nephew had asked his girlfriend to borrow her car, but she said no. "So he rode the bicycle, and he never came back home."
Ives Eugene said the family heard Monday about the attack but did not know what sparked it.
Rudy Eugene's ex-wife declined to be interviewed when reached by The Associated Press by telephone.

Thursday night, Mr. Nomadreader and I took a little road trip down to Millerton, New York to see Suzanne Collins at Oblong Books. We drove down a little early and had a wonderful lunch at Harney and Sons, a gourmet tea shop. We got to Oblong a little over an hour before the signing, and we were rewarded with a number oh so very close to the front of the line. We all sat on the floor to listen to Suzanne read, and I was thrilled she first read from Catching Fire, which I adored. Next she read the opening pages of Mockingjay, and I was amazed how many in the audience hadn't read it yet (I mean, it had been out for two days already--kidding!) After the reading, the line started moving quite quickly. We had our book stamped and were back outside to enjoy a beautiful day before 5:30 p.m. We stayed in Millerton for a phenomenal dinner at Manna Dew and toasted the last night of my 20's. All in all, it was a wonderful night, even though (I confess) I didn't like Mockingjay. I do still love Catching Fire, and it was a treat to attend a fun literary event.
Because I didn't especially enjoy Mockingjay (review coming this week), I don't feel the need to keep this awesome prize pack/party favor from Oblong Books, but I'm sure one of you would love to win, right? Fill out this form by Friday, September 3, 2010 to enter. Comments left on this post will not enter you. Good luck!

I am pleased and excited to announce Rhetoric – The Public Speaking Game™, the brainchild of my friend, Florian Mueck, and me.
Florian and I have a passion for good public speaking. Yet we know that for many people, the mere thought of it can get their hearts pounding. So we set out to create a game that would help players improve their public speaking skills and have fun in the process. The result is Rhetoric – The Public Speaking Game™.
We have designed RHETORIC to be a simple, engaging and educational board game for four to eight people. Players step onto the stage and embark on a rhetorical journey during which they encounter different speech tasks.
In each round, players roll the die and move their figures to the corresponding space where a one-minute speaking task awaits them. There are four types of tasks:
Topic – Players draw a card with a single word on it. They must speak about the topic.
Challenge – Players draw a card that has a challenging question or instruction. Challenges have been designed to stretch comfort zones!
Question – Any player can ask the speaker a spontaneous question on any topic.
Reflection – Players must share an insight or anecdote about public speaking with their fellow players. For example, they could share a personal public speaking experience, or suggest a presentation tip, or talk about a speaker whom they admire and why.
For Topics and Questions, players also spin one of two wheels that determine an aspect of delivery on which to focus or the manner in which the speech must be structured.
The game can be played competitively or non-competitively. If the former, each player receives a rating sheet. Throughout the game, everyone rates the speeches given by their fellow players. Players are thus competitors and judges at the same time.
Here's the trailer for the game.
The first, limited edition of RHETORIC will be available to the public in the fall of 2012. For updates and more information, please visit www.rhetoricgame.com.
When we pretested the game, Florian and I were overwhelmed with the positive response. We are convinced that RHETORIC will help you improve your public speaking skills and that you will have a lot of fun in the process.
Rhetoric – The Public Speaking Game™. Learning, laughter and applause are guaranteed!
This version of RHETORIC is now sold out. The second edition of the board game is available, as is the app for RHETORIC which will allow you to play the game in different languages. For more details, check out this post.

Thus was our experience with Inti. Stumbling into their brightly painted dining room on a rainy afternoon was just what we needed to turn our mood around. The place is spotless and friendly, with a staff's that eager to please. This neighborhood joint sees mostly foot traffic and locals from nearby, so they're expecting you to be a little disheveled.
The Peruvian menu reads like a "Best Of" list of Latin American staples, including our personal faves Empanadas and Ceviche Mixto so fresh we might as well have been on the beach. If you're looking for something new, definitely order up the Causa de Cangrejos, a mashed yellow potato with layers of Peruvian style crab meat, avocado, and onion. For entrees that'll make you feel like you're at a Peruvian BBQ check out the Banquete Inti, a whole rotisserie chicken with rice, beans, and sweet fried plantains. Or Arroz con Mariscos (seafood rice) if you're sticking to fresh seafood. They don't have a liquor license yet, but if you're in the mood for something sweet, do not miss the Chicha Morada, a sweet purple corn drink that is a Peruvian delight and made in-house (also an excellent mixer since they're BYOB!).

Atlanta (CNN) – Newt Gingrich is looking beyond Super Tuesday as his rivals keep their focus on the biggest day so far in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. At stake, 419 delegates.
Gingrich heads to Alabama early this afternoon for two campaign events before returning to Atlanta for Election Night. The former House speaker is expected to easily win his home state of Georgia, which he has said is crucial to his campaign for the nomination. But Gingrich's decision to campaign in Alabama, which holds a primary next week, is a clear sign the former speaker has no intention of dropping out of the race even if he performs poorly outside of Georgia.

Typical – folks in Alabama can't read - he's trying to enter thru an exit.
If they put pictures on the ballot, folks MIGHT make the choice they meant to.
Voter ID laws.
I watched an interview last night with an Alabama state legislator defending the new laws. Alabama cites "wide spread" voter fraud has reason for enacting photo ID laws. When asked to cite examples to show how "wide spread" the fraud is occurring, a Republican state legislator cited "three incidents" of voter fraud, "occurring primarity in districts with minority majorities".
When asked for details, the legislator cited a clerk that was convicted of voter fraud. The clerk had been accussed of the improper handling of absentee ballots. A clerk. Absentee ballots. How does the new photo ID laws address that sort of voter fraud? It doesn't.
It's time for this Old man to retire.He has been taking his supporters to the cleaners for too many years.Hence if he retires than all the Repub Politicans will regain their Bees
i wish that all of these republicans would lay off of Obama about his health care bill and they are praising Mitt Romney for his health care law in the state of Mass. and he said the difference between his and Obamas is that his doesnt have as many pages as Obamas but everyone needs to realize one thing and that is Mitts health care law is only for the state of Mass. and Obamas is for the entire country of United States and one thing everyone needs to realize is the reason there hasnt been that much done in the last 3years is because the House Republicans has held this country and its business hostage just because they dont like Obama and if the rest of the country would realize that then they are probably gonna get voted out of the house and let the democrats take back control and let them get the job done for this country. And their talking about jobs the Majority of the jobs lost was lost under Bush's watch and this country was going down hill so fast and Obama has gotten it turned around a little but he could have gotten alot more done if the republicans didnt have control of the house, it it was left upto me i would send all of the republicans in the house and in the senate home unemployed and let them see how the rest of America feels.
They got rid of Imus when he shot his mouth off. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't get rid of Rush Limbaugh. He does not set a good example for people. He is also addicted to Oxycodone, what is up with that? Do we want prescription drug addicts advising us on policy and politics. His time has come, and he should go!


text: Friday, September 13, 2013 Joint Commission Wants Your Comments on Optional Memory Care Certification The Joint Commission's proposed standards for an optional memory care certification within the nursing and rehabilitation center accreditation program are out for field review, and your comments can help shape final standards. Comments are due October 16, 2013. The Joint Commission emphasizes that these optional certification requirements would be in addition to the accreditation requirements that will apply to all Joint Commission-accredited long-term care organizations. While accreditation requirements address the prevalence of dementia in nursing homes, says the Joint Commission, the optional certification will recognize organizations for their dementia care specialization, particularly for organizations providing specialized dementia care in a distinct unit or area. Key areas that distinguish the memory care optional certification requirements from the accreditation requirements include the role of the coordinator, staff education and training, feature of the physical environment, and activity programming. To comment, follow the instructions on the standard field reviews page—download and review the proposal, then submit comments by October 16 via an online survey, an online form, or e-mail to the Joint Commission. Direct any questions you have to Jennifer Tarpey, Department of Standards and Survey Methods, 630/792-5919 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I was taking a short break in Kangaroo Valley with my family recently and couldn't resist taking a stroll through the local cemetery. My usual approach is to let my feet take me where they will and there, in dappled light beneath a sparse shrub, were two crosses with the names Helen and Kate Graham. Time worn and obviously hand crafted, I was struck by the similarities of the crosses – same surname, similar age of death and a decade apart.
Life on a farm meant that everyone in the family worked. On August 10, 1889 fourteen year old Helen, with her younger sister Florence, aged ten, were minding some cows in a paddock near the house. For reasons unknown Helen lit a fire and her dress caught alight. She died some hours later and was buried in an unmarked grave.
Kate, formally Kate Martha Matilda Graham, was born in the Shoalhaven in 1886 - John and Mary's eighth child and sixth daughter. Kate died of rheumatic fever when she was just 13 years old.
The anguish of losing two young children is something I cannot begin to understand. I hugged my kids tighter when I got back to the house that day.
After doing a little research it occurred to me that the wooden crosses were unlikely to have been original, so I sought more information on Ancestry.com.au and found the Latham/Madge Family Tree. I reached out to Mable, the tree's owner. In less than 24hrs, Mable – a descendent of Kate and Helen's older brother Archy - got back to me with details on the girls.
Mable said that it was Helen's father John and`her brother Archy who found the badly burnt body. She also told me that Kate was a favourite of Archy's. Mable also shed some light on the crosses. They were erected a few years ago by members of the family as the burials were in unmarked graves, or graves whose markings had long since become erased. Mable also supplied the lovely photo of John, Mary and family you see below. My thanks to Mable for helping me tell this story.

My Various Hobbies
The Win-XP computer is at the shop, so I'm writing from the little Linux computer in the back hallway tonight.
It's a small workspace, but pleasant. The desk is long and narrow to fit its space. I can see myself in the mirror at the other end of the hallway. I'm sitting on my straight-backed chair with a rosy paper lantern overhead and Casper curled at my feet.
Currently, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Hank Thompson are taking turns singing in my ear. Next up is the Blackwood Brothers. The selection of music on this computer is limited, but enjoyable to me. (I chose it all.)
This little Gateway computer used to have Windows 98 on it. When Microsoft stopped providing security updates for Win-98, I decided to install Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a free operating system, one of many varieties ("distributions") of Linux, all of which are free.
Linux is supposed to be a more stable and secure system than Windows -- that is, it rarely crashes and rarely needs rebooting, and it resists viruses. Many big commercial and government computers (often called "servers") use Unix which is sort of a big brother to Linux.
A helpful Linux user (a local person) coached me on partitioning the disk and installing Ubuntu. He even had me bring the computer to a high-speed internet connection in his office so I could download a bunch of stuff he thought I needed. (We can't get DSL where we live. Our telephone lines aren't good enough.)
I haven't learned many of the details of Linux yet, but that's my own fault. A tremendous amount of information is available on the internet. I've even been given at least half a dozen books about Linux. I just haven't been interested in studying it deeply.
Mainly, I use this computer when Isaac wants to play games on the other one. I type up some recipes or get on the internet. I didn't need to study how to do those things. The programs worked just as one might logically expect.
The Win-XP computer is still the computer of choice in this house, but I'm glad we have this one as a backup. Linux has extended its useful life.

Rockies' Weiss unsuccessful on first replay challenge
Ruling on play at first base involving Cuddyer stands in game vs. Marlins
MIAMI -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss was unsuccessful on his first instant replay challenge with two outs in the bottom of the third inning against the Marlins on Thursday afternoon.
Weiss challenged a call by first-base umpire Jerry Layne that first baseman Michael Cuddyer's foot had left the bag as he reached for second baseman Charlie Culberson's throw. Culberson had gone to his knees near the second-base bag to field Marcell Ozuna's grounder.
A run scored on the play to cut the Rockies' lead to 4-2, so Weiss challenged to see if he could save a run and end the inning. Upon review, the umpires ruled that the play would stand as called because the replay was inconclusive and the game resumed. The Rockies were left without a challenge for the rest of the game.
In the eighth inning, Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich stole second base on a close play to put the go-ahead run into scoring position. Weiss, who no longer had a challenge, came out to discuss the call with second-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt. Being that the game was in the seventh inning or later, the umpires decided to review the play on their own, after which the safe call was confirmed. Yelich eventually scored the go-ahead run on an RBI single by Giancarlo Stanton.

Reddick gaining confidence as bat heats up
OAKLAND -- A self-assured Josh Reddick is bringing a consistent swing to the plate these days.
An emotional player, Reddick too often gets in his own way at the plate. The A's outfielder had just four hits in his first 41 at-bats, but he has upped his batting average 102 points after going 6-for-9 with four RBIs in the first two games of the series against the Astros.
With success comes confidence, and Reddick is using it to hit the ball all over the field.
Saturday's game-winning hit was a liner to right-center, the same direction he hit his first homer on Friday. He's also pulled a pair of balls to right field, lining another to left this weekend.
"It's showing me it's where I want to be in the box with every pitch, inside, the outside and down the middle," Reddick said before Sunday's finale. "Being able to not be so pull-happy or go-the-other-way-happy, it shows I'm where I need to be and having the confidence in myself to do everything."
"I think any time guys struggle some, they tend to pull off the ball," said manager Bob Melvin. "It's easier said than done to say, 'I'm just going to stay on the ball and try to hit the ball the other way.' But when you get a little antsy, you're trying to hit that ball before it gets to you, so the trick is to let it travel some.
"I think it was key to get a hit to left field the other night, and now you're seeing him pull some balls. Even his homer was a little bit more right-center than you usually see him, and that's something he's really trying to do, is get a longer look at the ball."
Reddick entered Sunday on the heels of back-to-back three-hit games. He hadn't done that since August 2012.
"His swings have been really good, against righties and lefties, it doesn't really matter for him right now," said Melvin. "Hopefully that continues and he rides that wave some. We all know he has the ability to do it. Consistency will be the key for him at this point, and we feel like he's on his way."


text: London's most frequently eligible bachelor gets some lessons in growing up from a maladroit 12-year-old boy in this third big-screen adaptation of a Nick Hornby novel, directed and co-written by siblings Chris and Paul Weitz of American Pie fame. About a Boy concerns the parallel coming-of-age stories of the thirtysomething Will (Hugh Grant), a layabout "serial nice guy" living a posh, carefree lifestyle off his deceased father's fortune; and the preteen Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), a bright but awkward youth who's tired of his mom Fiona's (Toni Collette) depressed, boyfriend-less state. Their paths collide when Will, deciding that single mothers are the easiest romantic conquests on the dating scene, fabricates a two-year-old son and joins a group called S.P.A.T. (Single Parents Alone Together). Marcus is wise to Will's scheme, however, and through some incessant pestering and blackmail, he contrives for Will to date Fiona. Though Will doesn't hit it off immediately with either Marcus or his mother, he gradually begins to open up to the people around him -- so much so that he attracts the attention of another attractive single mom (Rachel Weisz). A U.S./U.K. co-production of Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Films and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner's Working Title (the company responsible for the Grant-related Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Jones's Diary), About a Boy was co-written by What's Eating Gilbert Grape creator Peter Hedges.

Sandra Ibarra To Lead USYCA Summer Programmes In Maryland
Sandra Ibarra, a former member of the USA women's national squad and more recently the South West Region Women's Cricket Coordinator, has agreed to take a leadership role with USYCA. Sandra, an ICC Level I cricket coach, recently moved to the Baltimore area and will be coordinating the new community youth cricket programs starting this summer in Maryland.
Her duties will include recruiting and liaising with coaches and community volunteers, organizing the program's sessions, seeing that each program's material needs are met and visiting each site regularly to ensure that the programs run smoothly. Of course, she'll also be spending some time putting her Level I credentials to use as well.
Sandra shares the USYCA vision of grassroots development and outreach to new demographics, and looks forward to her new responsibilities.
"I am delighted to take on this new leadership role with USYCA and join forces with (USYCA President) Jamie Harrison to share our passion for developing cricket in the US," said Ibarra. "The first thing I learned from Jamie, and the thing I admire most, is that he has a 'can do' attitude, and I commend him for what he has accomplished in such a short time."
For USYCA, Sandra's addition to the team is a major coup.
"USYCA feels truly fortunate to have someone of Sandra's talents and experience working with us, and more importantly working with the youngsters who will come out to play cricket this summer," said Harrison. "The success of these new programs is vital to our mission, and I feel reassured knowing that Sandra will be at the helm."
With summer only months away, Sandra is eager for the launch of these groundbreaking programs.
"Now that I have relocated to the Maryland/DC area, I can see to it that USYCA's efforts introducing cricket kits into the schools here are taken to the next level," Ibarra said. "As a pioneer in US cricket, having played for the US Women's team and now becoming an ICC Level 1 Certified Coach, putting my efforts to begin turning these kids into champions will be a very rewarding experience.
"We have a lot of potential here in the US; it is just a matter of putting in some extra effort to see it through. I have a vision of where I see this sport in America's future and working with our youth is the right way to start."

The Spanish Pyrenees, a huge skiable area
The Pyrenean mountains are an area of spectacular natural landscapes. The National Park is surrounded with all the necessary resources for the most demanding visitors, whether they are seeking adventure or peace and quiet.
Port Ainé
The Spanish Pyrenees constitute a huge area with endless possibilities for winter sports. These mountains have a range of facilities that are sure to please. There is something for everyone: from small, friendly, family resorts to huge skiable areas. Other common elements you will find in this part of northern Spain are pleasant temperatures, even in winter, and stunning landscapes.
On the Spanish side of the Pyrenees Mountains there are a total of sixteen resorts offering skiers everything they could require: an attractive array of après ski activities and services. The facilities in these mountains offer the latest ski, leisure and accommodation infrastructure. Here we should make special mention of the care taken to offer family skiing facilities, with attention devoted to crèches, snow parks and other facilities for the little ones. Also worthy of note are the complementary activities on offer, taking in cultural and gastronomic tourism, as well as other open-air countryside activities: ice skating, static hot air balloon flights, white water rafting, hiking, horse-riding routes, paragliding and biking routes, amongst others.
Catalan Pyrenees
Baqueira-Beret is the most outstanding ski resorts to be found in the Catalan Pyrenees. Many skiing fans from Spain and abroad believe that Baqueira has some of the best pistes in Europe. It has highly demanding runs for experienced skiers, but also large areas and pistes ideal for beginners. Then add its bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures, even in the coldest months of winter. Away from the pistes, there are popular restaurants close by, renowned for their gastronomic delights. In Vielha, the capital of the Arán valley, there is an Ice Palace with ice-skating rink and heated swimming pool - the town is the centre for leisure and entertainment in the area close to the ski resort. Also in the surrounding area, the villages of Arties, Salardú and Bossot have interesting Romanesque buildings from the 12th and 13th centuries, as well as examples of traditional Pyrenean architecture.
The La Molina and Masella ski resorts, for their part, have a more peaceful après ski atmosphere, which centres on the town of Puigcerdá, capital of the La Cerdaña region.
In the heart of the Boí Valley, right in the central Pyrenees, in the province of Lleida, you will find the Boí Taüll Resort. This is a mountain complex where you can combine skiing with other leisure and tourism activities. Of the many highlights nearby, besides the Aigües Tortes National Park, we should also mention villages where you will find beautiful Romanesque buildings, such as San Clemente de Taüll, Erill la Vall, Sant Feliu, San Lorenzo and Santa María, some of which have the UNESCO World Heritage designation.
Still within the natural surroundings of Aigües Tortes, in the village of Espot (Lleida province), are the Espot Ski lifts, with pistes running through pine woods and valleys. They face northwest and are recommended for advanced level skiers. Also close by, the villages of Sort, Llavorsí and Esterri d'Aneu offer ideal conditions and infrastructure for other sports such as white water rafting, paragliding, horse-riding, canyoning, kayaking, climbing and hiking. And in Rialp, also in Lleida, you will find the Port Ainé resort, situated at the foot of Pic del'Orri, a place that is known for having good snow.
Furthermore, the resorts at Tavascán and Vall de Nuria are close together and all have good access from Barcelona and Girona. They all have a peaceful, friendly atmosphere. You will find ideal facilities for other outdoor, countryside activities, or simply to spend a pleasant day in the mountains. If you would like to practise Nordic skiing in the Catalan Pyrenees, you can go to the Lles resort, which affords exceptional panoramic views and a variety of pistes for all levels.
The Aragon Pyrenees
The five resorts in the High Aragón region attract thousands of skiers each season. There are many reasons to go to this area, where the Aragón, Tena and Benasque River valleys converge, and where, from the moment the first snow of the season falls, everything centres on skiing.
The longest-running winter sports resort in the Aragon Pyrenees is Candanchú. Its ski school is reputed to be one of the best in Spain. After your skiing, it is in the town of Jaca where you will find all the region's leisure alternatives. Just 4 kilometres from Candanchú you will find the Astún resort.
Cerler is surrounded by lofty peaks, at the bottom of the Benasque valley. In the village of Benasque you will find good après ski atmosphere, with lively bars open until well past midnight, along with restaurants and cafés.
The Formigal and Panticosa resorts are in the heart of the Tena Valley, in the centre of the Aragon Pyrenees. Excellent communications mean that they have good access, even from Madrid - the journey only takes three and a half hours by car. As for Nordic skiing in the Aragon Pyrenees, you can go to the resorts of Candanchú-Fondo (perfect for learning cross-country skiing and for competitive training) and Llanos del Hospital (situated in the beautiful Posets-Maladeta Nature Reserve).
Navarre Pyrenees
At the head of the Roncal Valley (Navarre) you will find the Nordic ski resort of Larra-Belagua (Roncalia). At this resort you can also hire sledges, skis and snowshoes; attend ski lessons or join guided walks, among other options. Once you get there, we recommend visiting the seven towns in the Roncal Valley, so you can enjoy their traditions, gastronomy and nature, and practise other activities such as cycle touring, canyoning, kayaking, rafting, etc.

Karlsson lifts Senators to 1-0 win over Sabres
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Senators goalie Craig Anderson knew there was no room for error with the way Buffalo's Ryan Miller was stopping everything directed his way at the other end of the ice.
It took nearly all three periods for one to falter in a stellar goaltending matchup, which Anderson won by stopping 35 shots in Ottawa's season-opening 1-0 win on Friday night.
Erik Karlsson scored the lone goal, sneaking a one-timer in under Miller's legs with 1:35 remaining - and after Miller had stopped the first 45 shots directed his way.
``When you watch the guy at the other end make big save after big save, it gives you a little fire to kind of return the favor,'' said Anderson, who earned his 23rd career shutout.
``It's one of those battles where you enjoy to be in it, but at the end of the day, you like the win on the other side of it.''
Just ask Miller.
``It's not a fun way to lose,'' Miller said. ``We need points where we can get them. And I needed to make one more save. It's disappointing.''
The Sabres lost their home opener and dropped to 0-2, following a 2-1 loss at Detroit on Wednesday.
Former Sabres forward Clarke MacArthur set up the goal. Driving up the left wing, MacArthur slipped a pass through the middle to set up Karlsson alone in the right circle. Karlsson got just enough of the puck to direct it toward the net.
Karlsson's goal came a half-minute after Anderson made a huge glove save at the other end, stopping rookie Zemgus Girgensons' shot from the high slot.
The wait for their season to open - as well as their first goal - proved to be worth it for Senators coach Paul MacLean.
``Now we have that under our belt,'' MacLean said. ``We were excited about going into tonight. I think we're even more excited now that we got started.''
Ottawa improved to 8-2-4 when opening a season on the road, and 10-4-5-1 overall.
The Senators also won in opening a season for the first time since 1995 without former captain Daniel Alfredsson, who left Ottawa to sign with Detroit in free agency in July.
``Having someone here for 17 years, and has been the captain for the bulk of that time, you don't just replace something like that,'' MacLean said. ``It's going to take time for that. But the leadership group that we do have here that's left over ... they're going to put their own stamp on it.''
The Sabres are searching for their own identity after spending the past eight months turning over an aging roster. Buffalo's lineup featured five rookies on Friday.
The Sabres generated chances, but still lacked finish - particularly on the power play. Buffalo went 0 for 4 with the man-advantage after going 0 for 7 against Detroit.
``We competed right until the end of the game,'' forward Steve Ott said. ``Unfortunately, we were on the wrong end of it tonight.''
Credit both goalies, too, for putting on a clinic.
Miller was the busiest, and made the most acrobatic save in the waning seconds of the second period.
Senators newcomer Bobby Ryan faked a shot from the left boards and deftly slid a pass into the middle, where Jason Spezza redirected the puck toward the net. Miller anticipated the play and lunged out from his crease to make a diving glove save.
Anderson was sharp, too.
With 3:15 minutes left in the second period, he got across to stop Thomas Vanek's one-timer from the left circle. Midway through the first period, Anderson stopped Brian Flynn's initial shot from the right boards, and then got back in position to foil Mikhail Grigorenko's backhand from in close.
NOTES: The Senators open with six straight road games, and won't play their first game at Ottawa until Oct. 17 against New Jersey. ... Sabres D Henrik Tallinder did not return during the third period after sustaining what coach Ron Rolston called an upper body injury. ... With Alfredsson gone, Spezza made his debut as the team's eighth captain. ... The teams combined for 39 shots in the first period - the most since the Senators (19 shots) and Bruins (22) combined for 41 shots last April 2, according to STATS LLC.

Infinite Zombies, Summer 2013
I've been thinking for a while about possibly starting up a read for the summer. I have George Saunders on the brain. Before I put in the work, I wanted to collect some feedback to gauge interest. Please lodge your interest or lack thereof below. Note that if you express interest, you can also volunteer to participate more actively by writing for the blog, and you can express preferences about the scope of the project. I imagine we'd start in July sometime if the read materializes.
As you're planning your summer reading, you should be aware that a new Infinite Jest reading group has sprung up. Summer of Jest starts in just a few days and may be of interest to those who've landed on this post either because they're long-time readers of the site or because they did a search for Infinite Jest and landed here by accident.Take The Survey!
May 24, 2013 at 6:41 pm
Hey there Daryl, I just completed the survey, but thought it would give me a chance to fill in my name! So I'm the survey response saying I don't know if I'm really a shoo-in but I'd love to dive back in. I've been wanting to read him for a while and would happily reshuffle my summer reading.
Thanks, Joan

I thought I left a comment, but I don't see it. I would enjoy a group read, depending on the author.

See the 10 Greatest Moments in Julia Roberts's On-Screen Hair History
How much do we love Julia Roberts' hair? Let us count the ways! The star and her glorious blonde waves are currently gracing the cover of our massive September issue, but we've been coveting her strands for years.
Ever since Roberts first got her start in Hollywood over 20 years ago, she's managed to induce major hair envy with her now-trademark curls. Case in point: The defined ringlets she wore in Mystic Pizza (pictured, above) rank at the top of our favorite on-screen looks to date.
Roberts, however, doesn't get attached to any hairstyle in particular, opting to change things up whenever the mood strikes. "I once randomly cut my hair off before a shoot," she told us. "What was fascinating was that moms would stop me in the grocery store and say 'It will grow back.' Hair has a strong effect on people."
VIDEO: Julia Roberts's Changing Looks
In celebration of our 708-page September issue, we're taking a retrospective look at Julia Roberts' 10 best on-screen hair moments ever. See each style now!

Yoshiko Jo was a block from the finish line in an area set aside for runners to recover, when she heard and saw the bomb blast.
'I was facing the finish line because I was talking to this lady,' said Jo, 48, of Swarthmore. 'Then the first explosion occurred, there was a bang,' she said, dragging out the work 'bang.'
'I saw the explosion,' Jo said. 'People screamed, 'Oh my God!'
'The sound came first, then vibrations,' she added. 'The sound echoed by the buildings - the street is like Market Street in Philadelphia. Some female runners started crying immediately.'
Jo, who grew up in Japan and has lived in the United States for 20 years, teaches Japanese at Swarthmore College. She was immediately worried about her friend, Nami, who had come from Japan to run the Boston Marathon with her. At the 16th mile Nami felt weak and wanted to walk. She urged Jo to continue without her, so when the blast happened they were not together. However, Jo found out a bit later that Nami was safe.
The group of runners surrounding her in the recovery area did not panic, she said. While she had seen the blast, most others were looking in a different direction. Some thought the explosions were fireworks for Patriots' Day, a holiday in Massachusetts.
'I do believe people didn't realize what happened,' she said. 'I saw it but it is difficult to think the worst thing happened, something really bad happened.' Also, many runners were somewhat dazed and sluggish from the effort of finishing the 26.2-mile marathon.
This year marked Jo's ninth Boston Marathon and she plans to run again next year. Next week, she said she's going to run 100 miles in a marathon in Maryland.
'This event won't discourage me from running,' Jo said.
Jo felt bad about the runners who were not able to finish the race, which authorities halted after the blast. Many of those slower runners were running to raise money for charity. She plans to give her medal to a runner who didn't finish, a brain cancer survivor from New York. Jo also plans to form a Facebook group to allow other runners who finished to give their medals to runners who were prevented from completing the marathon this year.

The law firm Haynes and Boone just signed a deal to take 74,600 square feet on two floors at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the entire 25th and 26th in the landmark 70-story tower. Ken Bezozo, the managing partner of Haynes and Boone's New York office said that the firm, which is based in Dallas, Texas, began practicing in Manhattan with a single attorney in 2004 and has since grown to just under 50 attorneys. He said the deal at 30 Rock, which will more than double the firm's office space, was done in anticipation of substantial continued expansion and that the firm is aiming to increase its Manhattan practice to 100 attorneys in upcoming years. "In New York you can't lease space for just the next two years, you have to lease for a little longer period than that, which is why we took a larger deal," Bezozo said. "We will consider subleasing some of the space for now to give us time to grow into it but only a small portion, probably around 10,000 to 12,000 square feet." Bezozo said that the firm considered staying in 1221 Avenue of the Americas but that 30 Rock's floor plan offered a better fit. The building, constructed in the early 1930s and one of Manhattan's best known skyscrapers, is distinct for its pronounced rectangular shape with a wide north and south flank but a dramatically thinner profile from the east and west. The layout is good for the firm Bezozo explained because it offers plenty of window space for the firm's partners without a cavernous core. "Most of our storage and administrative functions are based in Texas so we don't need a lot of the back office space that you would normally cram into the center of the floor," Bezozo said. "This was a very efficient fit for us." Another pivotal factor in the deal Bezozo said was Tishman Speyer's multimillion-dollar renovation of the building in recent years, including a new lobby, windows and heating and ventilation units. Ken Rapp, David Kleinhandler and Andrew Sussman, executives at the real estate services company CB Richard Ellis, represented Haynes & Boone in its deal at 30 Rock and will also oversee the sublease of the small pocket of space in the new office that the company will need time to grow into. None of the three could be reached for comment. Bezozo said that Haynes and Boone will move to 30 Rock in January and February next year in advance of a March expiration of its sublease at 1221 Avenue of the Americas.
