PROVIDENCE – Ask Laurel Shepard why a qualifying fifth-grade student would want to apply to The College Crusade of Rhode Island, and she reels off reasons as if they were items from a shopping list.
"For one, we're an organization that will prepare you for college, so – when you graduate from high school – you're more than ready," explained the Crusade's Admissions Manager. "We offer a variety of college readiness programs for those in grades 6-12.
"From a kid's perspective, there are other reasons: It's fun," she added. "They get to interact with other children in our activities and programs, and they have a blast doing that. They get to have cool advisors who can identify with and relate to them, provide guidance and direct them. An advisor is someone who they can lean on and talk to not only about education but everything.
"The Crusade focuses on four areas of development of the child: Personal social development; career awareness; academic support; and college access. It's all about building a college-going culture for the state's urban students."
If Shepard has sold you on the idea of registering your child, this is the perfect time, as the College Crusade is currently looking for any fifth-graders to apply. The only necessary ingredients to do so are that they live in Pawtucket, Central Falls, Woonsocket or the capital city; are eligible to receive free or reduced lunch prices; and promise to bust their humps in the classroom.
Crusade officials already have held eight informational sessions for parents, but there are seven left, all on Wednesdays. The remaining will be held on March 30, April 13, April 27 and May 11 from 11 a.m.-noon; and on April 6, April 20 and May 4 from 5:30-7 p.m.
"This all starts in sixth grade, though the application process begins a year before, when they're in fifth grade," Shepard noted. "We're here to support children who may have a dream of attending college, and that they know it's a reality, it's within reach. That's why we expose them to our advisors, young people who've done it themselves, who come from where they come from and understand it's achievable.
"Let's put it this way: When high school students apply to college, they usually start their junior year," she continued. "This has similar elements. We have fifth-graders get the idea of what the process is like."
The process is rather simple, she said, and it starts with filling out an application. Students then must write a short essay on three questions, among them:
"What do you think it means to be a Crusader?"
"What are your goals for the future?
And "Why do you want to be a Crusader?"
A youngster then needs to provide one recommendation, his or her New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) score and report card and, naturally, proof of residency in one of the four aforementioned cities.
"After that, the student is required to attend a "Study Skills" program entitled 'Ways to A's,'" Shepard indicated. "We'd also like to see the children have the potential to make it through the program … We look at the whole child. We look at the recommendations, the report cards, but also the parents' motivation and level of participation in their children's lives.
"We ask the parent or guardian to enter in an agreement with us, where we work together with the school and help with the child's social, personal and academic growth, be it a boy or girl."
Pure and simple, the College Crusade begins working with students in sixth grade, and it continues supporting them until they graduate from high school. The best part? It doesn't cost a dime to become a Crusader.
Since 1989, it has aided more than 17,000 children succeed in school, and awarded more than $22 million in college/university scholarships to over 2,800 eligible Crusaders. Currently, it caters to approximately 3,500 students, most of them in 32 public middle and high schools located in the four municipalities.
"Our advisors are located in the children's buildings, so they see the kids every day during the week," she offered. "Those Crusaders who don't attend one of those 32 public schools, we make sure they see an advisor and that they participate in the programs we offer."
Indicated Karen Donovan, the Crusade's Marketing and Communications Officer: "The whole idea is that anyone's state is more economically healthy when children graduate from high school, enter into a post-secondary program then move onto the workforce. That's our fundamental goal for each and every one of them."
The advisors play key roles, as they understand the challenges young people in disadvantaged communities face. They know what someone has to do to prepare for a life in college, as they've done it themselves.
As for the programs and activities the Crusade offers, there are dozens, and all are held after school, on Saturdays or during vacations and the summer. They range from academic enrichment to SAT preparation to taking college visits to career workshops.
This winter and spring alone, it has provided a "Step-Up Conference," designed to help eighth-graders prepare for an easier transition to high school (time management skills, social issues such as bullying, guest speakers to address the course load, etc.); "Robotics Club" where children ready themselves to participate in the First Tech Challenge robotics competition, sponsored by New England Institute of Technology; "Adventures in Literacy, a computer-assisted learning program for sixth-graders called "ReadAbout," which includes quiet reading, writing in response to text and teacher-guided sessions; and "Cru Club," a series of college readiness and career exploration seminars.
Then there's the "CAAP," an acronym for Crusade Adventure and Academic Program. During the 10-week session for middle-schoolers, it helps in raising the child's self-esteem and develops skills in problem solving, team building and healthy risk taking.
Not so surprisingly, Shepard already has received over 250 applications from fifth-graders in low-income, urban families.
"I love reading the essays; some of them are so cute," Shepard chuckled. "I had one young kid write that he wanted to go to Johnson & Whales to become a chef. I sent it to a woman I know at Johnson & Wales, and she laughed so hard. She thought it was adorable, but that's how a fifth-grader writes."
Shepard also reads essays obviously written by parents.
"We always know," she said. "One parent wrote an essay where he mentioned 'implementation' and other big words. I called him and asked, 'Did you write her essay?' and he said quietly, 'Yes.' He didn't have to, and I didn't want to. I want to hear from the children. Some type their essays, others e-mail it to me for review.
"You know, I actually gave out my business cards to some fifth-graders and asked them to give one to a friend, and – next thing I know – I'm getting a call from parents saying, "My kid told me I better contact you!' I just say, 'Good, because we want your child to be a College Crusader!'"
Stated Todd Flaherty, the Crusade's CEO who's the former Deputy State Commissioner on Education and long-time administrator in the Narragansett and Coventry school systems: "I've always admired the work The College Crusade has done. I enjoy explaining the programs, services and support programs we have for the children, and the families as well.
"Supporting the students goes hand-in-hand with supporting the families," he added. "Remember, most of our kids are first-generation college-goers, and they'll be the first ones to take that step, so we know how important it is to be behind the families. They're the ones who support the Crusaders day-in and day-out, along with the schools.
"We're 96 percent poverty, and the indicator is if the child can receive a free or reduced-price lunch in school. We also know from the data that the persistence rate of kids through the first year or two (of college) is significantly greater for those who receive scholarships."
Donovan admitted the college scholarships are awarded to those who graduate from high school, are accepted to college and qualify for such financial aid via a federal qualifier called "Free Application For Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA).
"It doesn't matter what their grades are," she said. "If they finished high school and are going to college, they receive a scholarship."

Howard's End
Australia's prime minister no longer connects with voters.
Jun 4, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 36 • By MAX BOOT
Howard, who has been in office since 1996, is already Australia's second-longest-serving premier, having won four elections, the most recent in 2004. He has staged some remarkable come-from-behind wins in the past, but he will have to top them all if he is to prevail in this year's balloting, probably in the fall. A recent Newspoll shows Howard's Liberal party--the name, confusingly enough, of Australia's conservatives--running well behind Labor, 59 percent to 41 percent. In the past, Howard has managed to win largely on the basis of his personal appeal, but now voters say by a 49-percent to 37-percent margin that they prefer his younger rival, Kevin Rudd, who took over leadership of the opposition this past December.
What accounts for Howard's slide? And what are the implications for the America-Australia alliance? I asked those questions of a number of political observers and participants in Canberra and Sydney recently. The most widely cited answer to the former question is fatigue and complacency. After 11 years, and notwithstanding a strong economy and a popular new budget, voters are tired of Howard's government. In a way, his success is his downfall. The economy is growing so strongly that many Australians seem willing to risk a change of government, especially when the alternative does not seem especially threatening.
Rudd is conservative for a Laborite, a nerdy former diplomat and management consultant in boxy spectacles who speaks Chinese fluently and goes to church regularly (he was brought up Catholic but now attends Anglican services). He has few ties to the unions which have traditionally been a dominant force mooring his party to the left. He is seen as a safe pair of hands to continue steering Australia ahead--a Tony Blair to Howard's Margaret Thatcher.
For that reason few expect any change of government to much affect the close relationship between Australia and the United States. While Rudd has opposed the Iraq war, he has not made opposition to U.S. policy a theme of his campaign, the way previous Labor leader Mark Latham did in 2004. Latham promised to pull Aussie troops out of Iraq by Christmas if elected--a pledge he made without consulting Rudd, his shadow foreign minister.
That kind of tactic doesn't play well in Australia; Latham wound up getting thumped at the polls. Rudd isn't repeating that mistake. He is running as a pro-American (and pro-Israel) candidate. Although a Laborite, Rudd has arguably been less critical of the United States than the current Conservative leader in Britain, David Cameron.
Indeed, Rudd went out of his way to reassure Dick Cheney, during the vice president's February visit to Oz, that even though he does plan to pull Australia's 550 troops from southern Iraq, he will not necessarily do so immediately, and he will maintain another 1,000 Australian personnel in and around Iraq to support coalition operations. Rudd also has backed Howard's plan to more than double, to almost 1,000, the number of Australian troops in Afghanistan.
From the White House perspective, it will still be a blow if Howard loses office. Along with his foreign minister, Alexander Downer, Howard has been one of the world's most stalwart defenders of the global war on terror and most eloquent critics of trendy anti-Americanism. But Rudd's accession would not occasion a crisis with one of America's two closest Pacific allies (the other being Japan). Even with China now having become Australia's second largest trading partner (after Japan), most folks Down Under, Labor or Liberal, know that, in the final analysis, their survival and safety rest with their American mates. Just as America came to the rescue in 1942, with Douglas MacArthur taking charge when Japanese invasion seemed imminent, so Australians count on America to bail them out of any future crisis.
They, in turn, are willing to help the United States carry out mutual foreign policy objectives. Australia is the only country to have fought alongside the United States in all of its major wars of the past 100 years; the Aussies, unlike the Brits, didn't opt out of Vietnam.

Raghu Prasad, R and Tampi, P R S (1968) Distribution of palinurid and scyllarid lobsters in the Indian Ocean. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of India, 10 (1). pp. 78-87.
Ocean the need for compiling information on the distribution of the various species of adult lobsters recorded from the region was felt. Further, the increasing demand for lobster tails and consequent stepping up in the commercial exploitation of lobsters necessitate a study of the geographical distribution of the various species which constitute the fishery. Identifying phyllosoma larvae is an extremely difficult task. Two ways this could be achieved are by rearing them in the laboratory or by a process of elimination based on the knowledge of the geographical distribution of the adults. While identification by the latter procedure will still be provisional the former will give more precise data. Based on rearing work the authors (see Prasad and Tampi, 1957, 1959a and 1960) have already described the phyllosoma of four species viz., Thenus orientalis, Scyllarus sordidus, Panulirus ornatus and P. homarus (as P. burgeri). On account of great difficulties in rearing all the known species in the laboratory it was thought that the unknown types of larvae could be tentatively assigned to different species on the basis of the distribution of the adults. Therefore, data on the distribution of the species of adult palinurids and scyllarids recorded from the Indian Ocean region, at present lying scattered, have been brought together here.

Here's an example battle report between our friends Javier ( Dante ) and Juan ( Manfred ) so you can see some of the mechanics and how they develop on the board. They both were eager to test the new Juggers! The scenario is a standart 400 points battle so you can see how they're perfectly playable in a regular game.
Valerius escorts the Tabernacle throught the woods along with his guard from the Kingdom of God when suddenly he starts to see strange movements in the grass. By the time he notices, Zonik has his crowd and a big big friend forming.

Meet Glaucos the Damned
Thanks to your support we've unlocked a lot of new miniatures. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm! Today we're going to talk about Glaucos the Damned, the mercenary from the Not Alive that all of you will take home to terrorize your opponents.
The life of a mercenary is a lonely existence. To know that tomorrow you can turn on anyone for money is a serious problem when it comes to socializing, that's why we decided for every mercenary to have their own pet to keep them company in the hard life of the sword for hire. But Glaucos is the exception: he is actually the animal, and the soldier is his companion.
Glaucos was a genius summoner at the service of the Notalife, an agent whose mission was to extend their domain along new territories. But he messed up pronouncing a rune wrong and ended up accidentally turned into an owl. Surprised, embarrased and terribly afraid for his life, he hid in a cave in which with his wings and his little claws he started the ritual which created Garrul, his guardian creature. Garrul is actually a mindless being who staggers around Glaucos to protect him.
In game
In the deploy stage, we¡ll put only Glaucos' miniature in game. Glaucos moves faster and has the special rules Flight and Agile, so he'll be able to put himself in an advantageous position more easily. But watch out! As soon as an enemy miniature gets at 30 Cm of him he'll have a panic attack and inmediately summon Garrul.
Once with Garrul on the board, Glaucos won't dare to separate from him, and rightfully so!Garrul is an authentic regenerating meat shield with two jaws who will literally devour anyone who dares to attack his master. The golden rule to control Garrul is to keep in mind that he's completely blind, so you have to put Glaucos in a safe position behind his guardian but with line of vision to the dangers and targets for Garrul.
The Curse of the Crypt
Just like the rest of the mercenaries, Glaucos comes with his own scenario. On this ocasion we'll revive the very moment in which Glaucos commited the terrible mistake that turned him into an unique being. On it, Glaucos starts in his cave trying to obtain the components for the spell with which he conjured Garrul for the first time. The scenario will be a normal 400 points showdown, but on the first turns the player controlling Glaucos will have to protect him as he gathers the components and finishes the ritual. If he does, Garrul will enter the game with bonuses to his DC and FU and will make the deaths caused by him worth double the victory points. Will you get to conjure in time? Live Glaucos' tension and panic in The Curse of the Crypt!

Thoughts on the Roman Josi contract

June 13 2013 01:01PM
If you've been reading me for a couple years, you'd know by now that I have a lot of respect for David Poile and Don Maloney, two general managers who had consecutive playoff appearances despite playing in small markets without big-name stars. Those teams are the Nashville Predators and Phoenix Coyotes, respectively, but you could probably add in Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues and Garth Snow of the New York Islanders. The Blues were a floor team this season, won 29 games (4th in the NHL) after a year they won 49 games (also 4th in the NHL). They'll probably have a higher salary cap this season, because they have four of their stars needing new contracts, but they drafted and developed possibly better than any team in the league, finding lots of hidden gems in the later parts of the first round.

Although the tobacco industry is somewhat controversial, it is a cash flow generating machine, and fortunately for investors, these companies reward shareholders with sizable dividends. The question is; what's the best tobacco play in the industry. Well for starters, all the major tobacco companies pay a dividend that yields at least 3.5%, but there are some distinct differences among the industry leaders. Let's see which dividend paying tobacco company is the best. Of the five tobacco companies listed below, I like two, one a U.S. operator, and the other a global tobacco company.
Altria Group Inc (MO) pays a 5.2% dividend yield and recently reported quarterly results that showed earnings up 32% year over year. One of the beauties of Altria's 5.2% dividend yield, although it is the lowest among the major U.S. operators, is that it only represents an82% payout of earnings, which is very nice when stacked up against its peers.
Altria's top brand includes Marlboro, but part of its continued strength and anchor to its future growth is its smokeless segment, where the smokeless business line saw volumes up 10% last quarter on a year over year basis. Two of Altria's strongest smokeless brands include Copenhagen and Skoal, with other initiatives including collaboration with Okono to develop non-combustible nicotine-containing products, and Verve Dics, a mint-flavored, chewable tobacco containing tobacco-derived nicotine. Taking a deeper look at Altria's smokeable segment, we find other notable brands beyond its stable cigarettes. This includes its Black & Mild brand, which has a leader in the space.
Altria is the top U.S. market share leader…

PAINTSVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - Thousands remain without water in Johnson County. Paintsville Utility officials say it is primarily in the northern and western parts of the county along with some customers in Lawrence County. Officials say it is a slow but steady process to get the water back on.
Life without running water...more than 1,000 people in Johnson County have had dry faucets for days.
Jessica Click says, "We went down to the creek about 11 o'clock last night to draw some water to be able to flush toilets. Other than that we've not had water to wash dishes, do laundry, or anything."
The reason? Officials say last week's freezing temperatures.
General Manager Eric Ratliff says, "We experienced a lot of water main breaks, customer service lines froze up and then burst."
Water crews say restoring service to all customers is a slow process as they are working to make several repairs and their system plays catch up because along with those main line breaks, thousands of gallons were also lost in individual meter breaks.
Ratliff explains, "For example, with one burst there was more than 400,000 gallons go through one meter....a couple others that had more than 200,000 go through just one meter."
Losing that volume of water, with a plant that pumps 2,100 gallons per minute...officials say it is hard to catch up.
"Once they do have service back, please conserve so we can get water to all the individual homes throughout Johnson County," says Ratliff.
Water crews say there is gradual progress with some homes and schools now receiving water, and they continue to ask customers to be patient. They hope to have everything back to normal by Wednesday or Thursday.
Officials say as you get water back it is safe to bathe in and do laundry with but there is a boil water advisory for water that will be consumed.

Seeing is Believing is Standard Chartered Bank's global initiative to tackle avoidable blindness and visual impairment[1]. It is a collaboration with International Agency for Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and leading eye care organisations. It raises funds for investment in eye care projects that aim to have long-term impact in areas of high need.
Standard Chartered has committed to raising USD100mn by 2020 for the programme through fundraising and Bank investment. In 2013, the Bank further extended its support for eye health by by committing USD 20mn to support the work of the Queen's Diamond Jubillee Trust in helping the elimination of avoidable blindness.
Seeing is Believing addresses a key health issue across the Bank's markets that diminishes the quality of life of individuals and negatively impacts economic growth. Seeing is Believing funds eye health projects in poor and underprivileged communities within the Bank's footprint. It targets areas of high need where access to affordable and quality eye care is low. The majority of Seeing is Believing funding is used to prevent and treat blindness and visual impairment but some funding also goes to supporting employment and educational opportunities for people who are permanently blind or have low vision and other projects that improve quality of life for the blind or those with low vision.
Despite the huge impact of tackling blindness, it remains a relatively neglected issue.
For more information on Seeing is Believing, to donate or raise funds, please visit www.seeingisbelieving.org.

JUDKINS, TEXAS. Judkins, on U.S. Highway 80 and the Missouri Pacific Railroad in southwestern Ector County, was established as a station on the Texas and Pacific Railway in 1880 and named for Frank Judkins, an early landowner. Several German farm families moved from East Texas, and in 1905 Judkins had a post office, a gin, and several buildings. But a scarcity of rain was a constant threat to local farmers. After the drought of 1910 ended cotton and corn farming, Judkins was practically deserted. In 1920 the town had a population of fifteen and one business. The 1920 oil boom brought in a few more residents, but by the 1980s many of the people had moved to Penwell four miles away. By 1980 no population was reported for Judkins.

The on-campus living experience at Calvin College offers a unique and valuable opportunity for all residents to learn and grow within a Christian community of students from widely varying backgrounds, interests, and Christian traditions. The college desires that all residents live comfortably within this environment, able to integrate classroom learning with out-of-class experiences and challenged to grow in all aspects of life.
To accomplish our goals and better order our life together, we have established certain rules and expectations for living in community here at Calvin. These "rules" are meant to be guidelines for mature, responsible conduct, but in no way cover all the possible conflicts and questions that arise during a year. Some of the policies are designed to create norms of behavior within a large, diverse group of people, while others are meant to preserve the appearance and function of college-owned property. We expect that members of our community will strive both to live within these guidelines and to be obedient to the explicit teachings of God's Word.
Students involved in infractions of KE and campus policies as outlined here and in the Student Conduct Code will have a hearing with the Area Coordinator or may be referred to the Dean of Residence Life. (See the Student Handbook for complete details on the Student Conduct Code including the appeals process.) Appropriate sanctions will be given to restore the individual to healthy membership in the community. These sanctions include restitution, community service hours, educational initiatives, probationary periods, and suspensions. Fines have less educational value, but are occasionally utilized as well. Unless otherwise noted, a $50 fine applies to all policies, and fines may be converted to community service hours.
Community Areas
Fire Extinguishers and Alarms: Tampering with fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, or emergency procedure signs in or around KE is prohibited. Violators are subject to a $500 fine and possible suspension.
Furniture: Furniture in public lounges may not be moved from these areas.
Hallways: The hallways of KE must be kept clear and may not be used for storage. Items left in halls are subject to removal and a fine without notice by maintenance staff. In addition, biking, skating, roller-blading, and all other sports are not permitted in the apartment buildings.
Laundry Room: Only residents of the building are permitted to use laundry facilities for their personal laundry. If found allowing off-campus students to use the laundry, you and the off-campus student will be fined.
Sidewalk Chalk: Announcements made with sidewalk chalk may not be written under overhangs, on bricks, or on any building.
Student Rooms
Student apartment and roommate assignments are made during the summer prior to each academic year or throughout the academic year. Students may change apartments or roommates only after proper authorization has been given by the Area Coordinator. Residents should always contact the Area Coordinator for housing assignment concerns.
Housekeeping functions are the responsibility of the student. Cleaning supplies are available from the laundry room in each building but remain the property of Calvin College and may not be taken from campus. Students are not permitted to paint any area of their rooms. Calvin reserves the right to require room and bathroom cleaning at any time for health and maintenance concerns.
Under the terms of the apartment agreement each resident is held responsible for his/her actions which may result in damage to buildings, grounds, or college-owned furnishings. Residents are also liable to a service charge for any unusual housekeeping service which they may incur.
The college and its staff reserve the right to make routine maintenance inspections or to enter a student's apartment without prior notification and/or permission when there is reason to believe there is a violation of college, state, or federal regulations. The college staff may also enter rooms for maintenance purposes during vacation periods.
Aerials, Antennae, and Satellite dishes: are not permitted on the exterior of the building.
Alcohol, Non-alcoholic Beer, and Alcoholic Beverage Containers (empty or full, including those thought to be decorative): are not permitted in KE. See the complete alcohol policy in the Student Handbook for community standards and sanctions, or see the alcohol section under Student Behavior in this booklet.
Carpet: Students are responsible for all damage to room carpeting. No items (e.g. wires, extension cords, etc.) may be taped to the carpet.
Electrical Extension Cords: By order of the City of Grand Rapids Fire Hazard Inspector, no electrical extension cord shall be fastened or run through any doorway, partition wall, floor baseboard or casting, or run across any doorway or walking area, or placed under any rug.
Fire Extinguishers: are provided in each apartment kitchen and are checked monthly by K.E. staff.
Furniture/Room Accessories: Residents are responsible for the furniture provided by the college. Furniture may not be removed from apartments or disassembled. Waterbeds are not permitted in the rooms. Residents may not tamper with or remove room accessories (closet doors, draperies, doors, or any other items fastened with hardware) or disassemble furniture. Lofts are not permitted.
Pets: (except fish) are not permitted in KE. A per day fine will be levied for violations.
Posters and Room/Door Decorations: Inappropriate and/or offensive decorations, including any alcohol related posters or advertising, may not be displayed. The residence life staff reserves the right to require that decorations which it judges to be in conflict with the nature of Calvin College as a Christian academic community be removed. Students should exercise care in attaching any room decorations to the walls, using tacks or poster putty only (no duct tape or nails). Students are responsible for removing all residue when they check out. Any damage to the room will be assessed to the student responsible.
Windows/Screens: Screens are not to be removed from the windows and objects may not be thrown from open windows. Persons removing windows or screens are subject to a fine as well as repair charges.
Smoke Detectors: may not be removed or tampered with in any way. Students may not remove batteries. A fine will be levied for tampering with or relocating the smoke detector. The college maintenance staff will undertake periodic room checks to make certain that the units are operating properly. New batteries are available at the KE desk.
Window Area: Stereo speakers may not be placed in or directed out of windows. Discretion should be used with signs, cans, etc. Calvin reserves the right to require removal of any items from windows.
Loft Building: Lofts are not allowed in KE.
Student Behavior
Alcohol: As stated in the Student Conduct Code, use or possession of alcoholic beverages or of alcoholic beverage containers on campus is prohibited. Students present in a room where alcohol is present and/or being consumed will be in violation of this policy. Underaged possession or consumption and intoxication by any student are unacceptable behaviors for which the college has zero-tolerance. A student is subject to a fine of up to $100, educational and community service hours, disciplinary action, and parent/guardian notification (first offense) for such behavior, and his/her enrollment at Calvin College will be in jeopardy. The complete alcohol policy is found in the Calvin College Student Handbook.
Athletic Activities: Except for equipment provided in the recreation areas, athletic activities are not permitted inside the apartment buildings. In addition, skateboarding and rollerblading are allowed on campus paths, but campus architecture may not be used for stunts, and pedestrians have the right of way.
Computer Use: The Student Conduct Code clearly prohibits certain behaviors that may be enacted by means of computer technology, such as theft, copyright violations, profanity, harassment, or pornography. See the Student Handbook for complete details on these policies. Violating may result in loss of access to technology at Calvin.
Cooperation with Staff: The orderly operation of Knollcrest East requires the cooperation of all students. Non-compliance with the residence life staff in the fulfillment of their job responsibilities is a violation of the Student Conduct Code and cannot be tolerated.
Dining Halls: Food items and dishes may not be taken from the dining rooms. Students who behave inappropriately in the dining halls (i.e. fraudulent use of ID cards, theft, throwing food, etc.) will be referred to the residence life staff for disciplinary action.
Disturbances: Raids, pranks, disturbances (which include, but are not limited to shouting obscenities, profanities, running through another building, and destroying property), and "initiation" practices (such as sem-ponding, tubbing, etc.) are not permitted. Students involved in such activities, which are demeaning to an individual and break down Christian community, will be subject to a disciplinary action and/or a fine of $100.
Fireworks: The use or possession of fireworks, firearms, or explosives of any kind is prohibited. Violators are subject to a $100 fine.
Lamps: Floor and desk lamps are permitted but must be UL approved. The college reserves the right to remove them if they are deemed a fire hazard.
Language: Because the language we use can offend, hurt, or degrade individuals or God, students are asked to maintain high standards of communication. Profanity, obscenities, and hate speech are not appropriate in a Christian, academic community. Words which are abusive, insulting, intimidating, harrassing and/or which incite others to violence, hatred or discrimination, when directed at people or groups based on who they are (or who they're perceived to be) will not be tolerated. Examples are slurs regarding nationality, religion, ethnicity, skin color, socio-economic status, sexual orientation or disability.
Students should use caution when applying terms that could be misconstrued as disrespectful to vulnerable groups. Phrases such as "that is so gay" or "that is retarded," when used out of their proper contexts, can be hurtful to individuals (or to those who know individuals) in such criteria.
Noise: Respect and consideration for other residents in the community necessitates that excessive noise will not be tolerated. The use of electric guitars and drums is prohibited. Excessive noise caused by sub-woofers or other equipment could result in the removal of the equipment. Be considerate of noise outside on courts and plaza, especially after 10:00 p.m. Courts and ice-rink close at 10:00 p.m. daily.
Pornography: Involvement with pornography can be addictive and damaging to relationships— with others and with God. Pornography in all its forms (video, internet, print, etc.) is prohibited. Resources for help are available anonymously from the Broene Counseling Center.
Sexual Misconduct: Calvin College holds that premarital intercourse is in conflict with Biblical teaching, and that conduct promoting such intimacy (i.e. nudity, partial undress, lying or sleeping in bed together) is unacceptable. Persons engaging in such conduct face disciplinary action including parent/guardian notification, or suspension.
Smoking: Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the apartment or on the balcony. A student may smoke only in designated areas. Littering of cigarette butts is inappropriate and unsightly, and will not be tolerated.
Soliciting: Soliciting, peddling, vending of all types, and distribution of literature are prohibited in Knollcrest East unless permission is obtained from the Dean of Residence Life.
Sunday Observance: Calvin students are expected to observe Sunday by keeping the spirit and purpose of the day. Woodlawn Christian Reformed Church services and an evening Calvin College worship service are held in the campus chapel each week. A number of local churches also provide transportation to their worship services. Calvin College's statement on Sunday observance can be found in the Student Handbook.
Theft: While theft can take many forms ("borrowing" furniture, stealing others' laundry, taking an item which belongs to the college or dining hall, etc.) it will not be tolerated and could result in a fine (up to $50), restitution other disciplinary action, or suspension.
Unprescribed Drugs and Paraphernalia: As stated in the Student Conduct Code, the possession, use, or distribution of all unprescribed chemical or biological substances that alter the physical, emotional, or mental state of a person and the paraphernalia associated with these substances (e.g. water pipes, hookahs, etc.) is prohibited on campus. Violators may be suspended, as Calvin has "zero-tolerance" for drugs.
Water Fights: Water fights are not permitted inside the apartment. Water is not to be transported inside the building or thrown from the balconies or out of windows.
Weapons: No weapons of any kind are allowed on campus, except as authorized by the Board of Trustees. Weapons include, but are not limited to, firearms, ammunition, explosives, switchblades, paint-ball guns, "Air-soft" guns, potato launchers, bows and arrows, slingshots and similar devices. Exceptions for Campus Safety supervisors are governed by the college's Use of Force Policy.
Visitation Policies and Procedures for Knollcrest East
Knollcrest East apartments have a 24-hour Visitation policy for living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens. Visitation in bedrooms is restricted and cohabitation is not permitted:
Bedrooms: Visitation in bedrooms is limited to 10 a.m. until Midnight on weekdays and 1:00 am on Friday and Saturday, providing privacy for roommates and out of respect for the sexual mores which flow from our Christian commitment.
Cohabitation: Cohabitation includes inappropriate sexual behavior at any time, in any part of the apartment, but also includes "sleeping over" by members of the opposite gender. Again, this policy attempts to take seriously our commitment to a Christian view of relationships and sexuality.
Since this policy gives increased freedom to students, it assumes increased responsibility and personal accountability on everyone's part. Students who disregard or abuse this freedom will face possible loss of visitation privileges and/or other disciplinary action.

Document Number: 1824Rewards and Sanctions for School Districts and Schools MS Word PDF - State policymakers are increasingly focusing their attention on holding school districts and schools accountable for their students' performance. Two mechanisms for ensuring such accountability are rewards and sanctions. States reward school districts and schools by providing monetary and nonmonetary rewards. States also sanction school districts and schools. In fact, several types of sanctions in place across the states range from a written warning to a state takeover of a school district or school. Also available is the statutory language for each state (Todd Ziebarth, Education Commission of the States, updated August 2002)....

Etude House Cloud Bubble Foam Review
I do wonder, is it too taboo to talk about TP on my makeup blog? You know, toilet paper.
Oh Muse why are you bringing up such an intimate thing like toilet paper?
Well…it took me a very long time but I finally figured out what Etude House Eye and Lip Remover smells like. It smells like toilet paper! Um ok step back for a second and let me explain it smells like unused toilet paper, don't want anyone getting the wrong idea here. You know I think Charmin is the TP that has that cloying powdery floral cheap scent going on…am I making sense?
I absolutely loved the Etude House Eye and Lip Remover but the scent totally murdered me. It was cheap, it was powdery, and it had a whole lot of floral going on. No likey. It took ages to finally pinpoint the scent and finally a light bulb went off and I realized, "hey this smells like toilet paper!"
Oh..I got long winded there for a second. I'm telling you this because it's generally made me scared to try skin care bits and bobs from Etude House as a few items sport this same scent.
I took the plunge and gave in to purchase Etude House Cloud Bubble Foam and yes you guessed it, it smells like toilet paper.
Le sigh!
OMG the smell is just awful. It totally ruins the product for me. I believe Etude House considers it a baby powder fresh scent but to me it's toilet paper and terrible.
I generally love foaming cleansers. I find they are very gentle, don't dry my face out, and are a great way to do a quick clean up when I'm not wanting to go through my entire "take the make up off" routine. My personal fav, as I've mentioned too many times to count, is Kose Airy Whip.
These are great. Very gentle on my face, mounds of fluffy foam that suds up and gets my face squeaky clean, and quite a nice chubby little bottle with plenty of product inside for the price. Everything about them is a love. It's the perfect product for a quickie face wash on the fly without leaving my skin tight and dry.
But the scent….
God the scent.
Overall, Etude House gets a mighty yay for the Cloud Bubble Foam Cleanser but they need to work on the scent. I was hopeful that they might have a citrus scent or a light fresh scent but sadly no go. I'm trying hard to disregard how they smell but it's a bit hard sometimes. I already passed one of the two bottles I purchased onto my best friend who likes it but also finds the scent a tad overwhelming.
If you like foam cleansers and don't mind a cloying scent I'd rec trying but if you aren't keen on toilet paper scented cleaners I'd suggest taking the Kose Airy Whip route.
Someone console me. I really wanted to lurve these.
Check E-bay for these as I've seen them around for purchase!
Disclosure: The following item was purchased by me for review purposes (and because I like flinging my money at makeup products of any kind) on Musings of a Muse. For further information please see my FTC Guidelines or my Disclosure/Disclaimer posts.
2/10/10 12:32 suz:
didn't know etude made these!! The packaging is very cute!!
2/10/10 17:05 electronicfly:
O.o I'm wondering just howwww did they get a powdery scent into a bottle of liquid. :/
2/10/10 18:18 BeautyBitch:
The girls over at Perfume Posse have a trademark phrase for the that synthetic cloying powdery floral scent: TFA a.k.a. Tampax Fresh Accord. It's that awful fragrance that clings to toilet paper and feminine hygiene products. Any fragrance that claims to contain "clean" or "laundry fresh" notes seems to contain more than a whiff of TFA.
2/10/10 23:02 Starryxuan:
Totally agree with the smell for the Eye and Lip Remover! I'm trying to finish it as fast as i can right now and it stings my eyes everytime i use it! Thanks for the reivew! i can cancel this item off my buying list! Can't stand the smell 😛
2/11/10 11:36 Ling:
omg ! what a pity… strange that some would actually consider the TP smell appropriate for facial products.. .. maybe i will pop by Etude house to smell it for myself.. haha..
1/15/11 6:28 sugar sugar:
I just picked this up today at Etude House LOL! I hope the scent doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you. =/
They have other makeup removers now but I picked this because of the bubble part. I guess foamy makeup cleansers appealed to me very much.
Thank you so much for this review! This is why I really love your blog. It has the widest array of product reviews.

From Gnash Project Wiki
More dependencies for Building_on_Mac_OS_X?
Thanks for adding info to the page. I see you added:
Possibly you have to install a bunch of dependend packages (gtk2) first. Install them in the same manner $ sudo port install [package-name]
This confuses me. I would prefer it to say "This documentation is not complete as stated above. Please add missing information if possible". That's a better way of saying "by reading this page don't assume that the instructions will work for you". If you would like to improve the page I would be happy(or give me ssh access to your machine so I could test myself. I'm not very experienced with computers but with a little help from the ML maybe I can do it). Regards, logictheo 02:50, 12 September 2010 (MDT)

EAST PROVIDENCE – Fire Chief Joe Klucznik indicated Thursday afternoon that he and his firefighters are "victims of our own success."
Here's why: Last February, he received word from Sen. Jack Reed's office that the East Providence Fire Department would be the recipient of a $5.3 million federal grant, one stemming from President Barack Obama's American Recovery & Reinvestment Act and deals with fire station construction.
Late last summer, Klucznik discovered the grant had been boosted to $6.4 million. Those monies, he said, will be used to upgrade, renovate and modernize Station 1 (built in 1931 and located at 913 Broadway, near the Route 195 West overpass) and Station 4 (the Kent Heights firehouse at 66 Wampanoag Trail, constructed in 1954).
The chief hopes construction will begin at those two sites sometime this summer, or perhaps early fall. Just a few weeks ago, some of his firefighters – those who had conducted research for the project and written and/or edited the grant – had finalized a proposal to utilize the former Tristam Burges School at 1169 South Broadway as a temporary station for the Broadway and Kent Heights sites. (Station 4 would be the first to be renovated).
That group studied the feasibility of numerous locations, among them the former Tasca Ford building at 777 Taunton Ave.; ex-Midas Muffler building at 613 Taunton Ave.; Edmund Street Garage; and the former Sunoco gas station at 481 Warren Ave. None fit every need of the EPFD's two aforementioned stations, most importantly the housing of fire apparatus and other equipment.
"(Burges School) is considered the most favorable site for the relocations of both Stations 1 and 4 in order to complete the respective projects in the most timely and cost-effective manner possible," the proposal read. "Bordered by South Broadway and Fort, Public and Mason streets, the lot is 40,814 square feet in size.
"The proposed site is still within the first-due area of Station 1 apparatus, albeit on the south side of the response area. Although it is west of Station 4's normal response area, Martin Street and Veterans Memorial Parkway serve as viable access points to areas of Station 4's first-due district.
"Virtually no changes to the department's computer-aided dispatch system (at the police station on Waterman Avenue) are necessary in order to ensure the proper dispatching of any fire apparatus to emergency incidents within the city."
The school also allows for the erection of a temporary shelter to house the fire trucks, etc. from both stations while the buildings are being completed, and the lot will provide ample parking for personal vehicles, has fencing around three of its sides and is illuminated by surrounding street lights.
In addition, a modular building to house firefighters may be set up, and it allows for connections to water and sewer service for a period not to exceed two years. The proposal indicates telephone lines may need to be installed in the event cell phones don't provide adequate coverage for the department's everyday functions.
Klucznik noted he and other officials are slated to meet with city Purchasing Agent Paul Airozo over the next few weeks to make sure the bids for architectural, engineering and construction companies are done legally and legitimately.
"We'd like to get this rolling this summer, but we have to meet local, state and federal regulations," he stated. "Right now, it's very difficult because we're down 17 firefighters and one administrative assistant (due to downsizing). All of our firefighters have been assisting in conducting research and writing specialized components to the grant, or even attending meetings with city officials.
"The firefighters themselves are doing, or have done, this preliminary work. They're the same people who work on the fire trucks and engines, who are on the HAZMAT team, on the technical rescue team, on the state's foam task force. They're all being squeezed.
"Forget about all the fire prevention presentations they've been doing; I've asked so many people to wear so many different hats, and – unfortunately – we only have so many hours in the day. We are victims of our success, and much more work has been placed on us due to this (approximate) $1.2 million increase."
This ARRA grant will make both the main and Kent Heights firehouses complete two-story structures; renovate electrical, heating and plumbing systems; pay for sprinkling systems in Stations 1, 2 (in Riverside at 329 Bullocks Point Ave.) and 4; create more space for administrative staff; increase the size of the apparatus room; and modernize the kitchen area.
"It's not like the $5.3 million (grant) was set in concrete; it's a very complicated process," Klucznik offered. "We're talking about two stations. We had to meet environmental and historical preservation standards, zoning regulations, etc.
"When the underground diesel and gas tanks were put in front of this building in 1931, they all met code," he continued. "Now, with (Department of Environmental Management) requirements and those from state and federal agencies, we must meet modern codes, and neither station does that. That's why the grant was bumped up to $6.4 million.
"Naturally, we're elated … It means we're going to be working out of modern facilities."
Construction hasn't taken place yet, though Klucznik's team has produced preliminary drawings of what both stations will look like following the work. Battalion Chief Glenn Quick has headed the grants committee, while colleague Frank Wyrostek has led the buildings and grounds contingent.
"We still have to get both sides to mesh, have them be on the same page, so there's a lot going on behind the scenes," he mentioned.
Another grant, worth approximately $900,000, will allow Klucznik to accomplish three things: Create a 800-megahertz statewide interoperability radio system for the entire department, including the police/fire dispatch center; a station alert system (communicating with each other on emergency and non-emergency situations); and the new sprinkler systems in Stations 1, 2 and 4.
A community development block grant of about $35,000 will go to an electrical upgrade of Station 1, while another of $29,500 will provide for an emergency generator to be located outside that same Broadway firehouse.
Then there's a $239,000 Fire Prevention and Safety grant, gleaned in 2008. Just recently, those monies helped with the implementation of a Comprehensive Fire Prevention Education Program, and the purchasing of related teaching materials (such as DVDs, brochures, etc.).
The cash also went to instructing six firefighters about teaching fire prevention and safety programs; a fire safety trailer (call it a mobile classroom for the public); and even a fire safety robot.
"They're all used for fire safety demonstrations at schools and community organizations; we even went to Heritage Days last summer," Klucznik said. "Anyone who wants us to do a presentation, we're there. We have fire extinguisher props, and the little fire truck robot named 'Freddy the Fire Truck,' which of course the kids love.
"The money also bought a lot of little things, such as a gas generator to power the trailer; a compressor; a TV so we can show fire prevention messages outside the trailer while an educational presentation is taking place inside," he added. "It's been great because we've received so many outstanding comments from people, not just from students and teachers but also those at elderly high-rises and nursing homes.
"Anything we can do to get the word out about fire safety, we'll do it."
Likewise, as part of that $900,000 grant, the sprinkler system at Station 2 in Riverside was completed in December. And there's more: The EPFD recently applied for a $3.56 million Assistance to Firefighters grant, which would help the city hire 20 new firefighters (though negotiations continue with the city about the feasibility).
"We still need the city to decide to bring in 20 new people," Klucznik explained. "We also applied for a 'Rapid Intervention Team Training' grant, worth about $100,000. That would go to training firefighters how to go in and rescue any lost or trapped people inside (a burning home). We're pretty confident we're going to attain at least a portion of that grant; the amount we put in for was $431,000.
"I'm cautiously optimistic about all of these things to occur relatively soon, but we're still two or three years away from the completion of the two stations. We also don't have a temporary location for administrative staff, so we're working on that, too."

Whoa! Gunfire ripped through a neighborhood grocery in the early morning hours, shattering windows as people screamed -- and shopper Keanu Reeves reacted like it was a live-ammo version of "The Matrix"! The action star hit the deck, yelling at panicked customers: "GET DOWN!" Everyone stayed plastered to the floor . . . and the gunshots finally subsided.
Warning everyone to stay under cover, Keanu crept to the front of the store and sneaked a look outside. After scanning the empty street, he told the store owner, "Call the police!" Moments later, cops arrived and swarmed the area -- but found no culprits.
When they finally declared an all-clear, dazed customers made their way outside and were shocked to find several of their cars had been shot up -- a seemingly random attack police theorized was a drive-by shooting by a wanna-be gang member trying to "prove" himself. After helping cops calm everyone down, Keanu collected his groceries and left the scene.

Hugh Jackman is again proving that he isn't just an incredibly talented actor and singer, but also an overall awesome human being, husband and father. Below are two segments from his recent interview with Kate Couric.
Hugh is now promoting his latest movie, "Les Miserables," which is said to bring him an Oscar nomination and, hopefully, the actual statuette as well at the gala in February.
In the interview, he talks about his gorgeous wife Deborra-Lee Furness, how she sacrificed her career to stay at home with the kids so that he can pursue his acting dream, and how she is basically the most amazing woman ever.
"I think for me, she is one of the great actors I know, she is incredible. In fact, she had a time in Hollywood and I run into people, really powerful, big people, who say, 'Congrats to you, but your wife is really one of the most talented' and every time I hear that, it reminds me of the sacrifice she's made, her selflessness, her love and what she's done for the kids," Hugh says.
"We always made family a priority but I'm acutely aware, every day, that actually, when it comes to sacrifices, Deb has shouldered most of those," the actor adds.
He also opens up about their fertility problems and Deborra's miscarriages, but explains that they had always planned to adopt.

Lift and Separate
A Houston doctor was decapitated by a malfunctioning elevator.
All manner of sudden fatality are horrendous no matter where or when or how they occur, but we seem to assign decapitations to a special category populated by modes of death we find
particularly disturbing. This form of expiration is especially gruesome because the mind is cut off from the body, ending a life, and it all takes place in a flash. A person who moments before was a living, thinking being is now just a headless trunk, spurting blood like a ghoulish prop in a bad horror film. Though all forms of demise lead to the same place, this one is sickly fascinating thanks to its elevated gore quotient and the speed with which it drives home the finality of death.
We'd like to think beheadings happen only in campfire tales and low-budget thrillers, but they take place in real life too, as was the case in the death of
Dr. Hitoshi
Nikaidoh. On
16 August
2003, this 35-year-old surgical resident was decapitated in a freakish elevator accident at Christus
St. Joseph
Hospital in Houston, Texas.
The accident itself is hard to imagine: the ill-fated physician was trapped between the doors of the cable-propelled elevator, then decapitated as the carriage ascended.
According to the Harris County Medical Examiner's office, Nikaidoh died from multiple blunt force injuries to the head and body. His corpse was retrieved from the bottom of the elevator shaft along with two pagers, a cell phone, and an electronic organizer police believed belonged to him. The upper portion of his head, which was severed just above the lower jaw, was found in the car of the elevator. His colleague, physician's assistant Karin Steinau, who was in the car at the time, witnessed the whole thing.
Ms. Steinau told police the elevator had been out of service for a few days prior to the tragedy, but at the time of the accident the "Out of service" sign had been removed. She had rung for the elevator (with the intent of going to the sixth floor) and had already stepped into it and pushed the button for her floor when Nikaidoh tried to get into the car as the door was closing. As soon as she saw he was trapped by the doors, Steinau tried to hit the emergency stop button but was unable to do so before the rising elevator had partially decapitated
Dr. Nikaidoh.
The elevator continued upwards, finally stopping between the fourth and fifth floors. Steinau was trapped in the car along with Nikaidoh's cranial remains until she was rescued by firefighters. She was treated in the hospital's emergency room for shock.
The cause of the deadly accident was a mystery. Elevator doors should not shut when there is something between them, thanks to sensors mounted in the doors. Also, a set of contacts in the door should keep the elevator from moving if the doors are not closed. Yet both these things reportedly happened. A state investigative committee later reported that faulty wiring was to blame:
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation report was done by Chief Elevator Inspector Ron Steele.
Steele said an inspection of the elevator's electrical wiring diagrams found that one controller stud had two wires connected to it, although the diagram indicated it should only have one. The controller stud on which the extra wire should have been placed was empty.
[Attorney Howard] Nations said the mistake bypassed safety systems that would have kept the door from closing and the elevator from ascending.
"In the course of testing and retesting the elevator [the maintenance company] had changed wiring and when they rewired it back to its original position they forgot to put this wire back where it goes," Nations said.
The maintenance company, Kone, Inc., had been working on the elevator for four days before the incident. This month, the hospital dismissed Kone from doing its elevator maintenance.
Mike Lubben, vice president of Kone, said the company still was reviewing the state report but an internal investigation concluded that a wire in an electrical panel was incorrectly connected.
"This contributed to a malfunction in the elevator doors," Lubben said. "Kone is deeply saddened by this incident. We offer our deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Nikaidoh."
Although elevator fatalities are not common, they do occur from time to time, and they are not always of the "victim steps into an open elevator shaft" ilk. On
21 July
2003, 76-year-old L.A. Brown was killed at the Kenner Regional Medical Center in Kenner, Louisiana, when the gurney on which he was being transported to surgery in became trapped against the roof of an elevator when the car suddenly dropped several feet just as the gurney was being pulled out of it. On
7 May
1999, 56-year-old Mary Margaret Nowosielski died in similar fashion at the
St. Joseph
Mercy Hospital in Michigan when the car her gurney was being rolled into suddenly went up, dragging her to the fourth floor and back down to the first floor between the car and the shaft wall.
Even the elevator decapitation incident related here is not unique. On
6 January
1995, a runaway elevator in a Bronx office building decapitated 55-year-old James Chenault as he tried to help fellow passengers out of a malfunctioning car. The car had stopped slightly above the second floor and the doors opened. While Chenault was holding the doors open with his back and helping a woman whose foot had become trapped, the car lurched suddenly upward, beheading him. The victim's body fell to the bottom of the shaft, but the head remained in the car along with the remaining passengers as it shot up to the ninth floor.

Arthur Miller
Collected Plays 1964–1982
After the Fall • Incident at Vichy • The Price • The Creation of the World and Other Business • Up from Paradise • The American Clock • The Archbishop's Ceiling • Playing for Time • The Reason Why • Fame • The Poosidin's Resignation • I Think About You a Great Deal • Elegy for a Lady • Some Kind of Love Story
"[Arthur Miller] looked with compassion into the hearts of some ordinary Americans and quietly transferred their hope and anguish to the theatre." —Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times
Arthur Miller: Collected Plays—the second volume in the definitive Library of America edition of the works of the essential American dramatist—presents fourteen memorable plays, from Broadway hits to previously unpublished rarities, offering an unprecedented look at Miller's extraordinary middle phase.
The volume opens with After the Fall (1964), Miller's much-anticipated return to the theater after an eight-year hiatus. An imaginative tour de force that unfolds within the mind of its main character, Quentin, the play struck some viewers as scandalous for its apparent revelations about Miller's marriage to the late Marilyn Monroe. Incident at Vichy (1964) dramatizes the roundup of Jews in Vichy France during World War II in a vivid and harrowing single act. The Price (1968)—Miller's biggest Broadway success since Death of a Salesman—portrays the relationship between two brothers, a successful surgeon and a struggling policeman, as they negotiate the sale of their dead father's belongings. Like The Creation of the World and Other Business (1972), a "catastrophic comedy" about Adam, Eve, and original sin updated for modern times, the witty Up from Paradise (1974) treats characteristically grand themes in what was for Miller an uncharacteristically comedic and musical vein.
Taken together, the plays in this collection trace the remarkable, evolving range of Miller's genius as he experimented with new forms and themes. The American Clock (1974), based on Studs Terkel's Hard Times, offers a broad, stirring panorama of American life during the Depression years. By contrast, The Archbishop's Ceiling (1977)—set in an ornate apartment in eastern Europe that may or may not be bugged—is as intricately plotted and psychologically complex as a spy thriller. Playing for Time (1980), a groundbreaking teleplay based on a firsthand account by a Holocaust survivor, tells the story of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. Also included are several shorter one-act plays and dramatic sketches—The Reason Why (1970, published here for the first time), Fame (1970), The Poosidin's Resignation (1976), I Think About You a Great Deal (1982), Elegy for a Lady (1982), and Some Kind of Love Story (1982).
A fifty-page selection of Miller's notes and essays on the plays—including a thoroughgoing critique of Method acting, never before published—rounds out the volume.
Tony Kushner, editor, is one of America's most acclaimed playwrights. He has won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (for Angels in America: Millennium Approaches), two Tony Awards for Best Play, two Obie Awards, and two Drama Desk Awards; his screenplay for the film Munich was nominated for an Academy Award. Kushner's writings have appeared in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, The Nation, and The Advocate.

This refreshing sorbet makes a pleasant finale to a summertime supper. The wine gives it a delicate texture that is at its best just after the sorbet is made. If you like, serve it in chilled glass dishes topped with fresh berries and accompanied with fine French butter cookies. Champagne or sparkling wine can be used in place of the Chardonnay.
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
- 1/2 lime
- 1/4 lemon
- 1/4 orange
- 4 cups chardonnay wine
In a saucepan over high heat, combine the water, sugar, vanilla bean, lime, lemon and orange. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. When the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, to infuse the syrup with flavor. Be sure not to reduce the liquid. Remove from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, scoop out the lime, lemon and orange. Let the citrus fruits cool slightly, then lightly squeeze them over the saucepan to release their juices.
Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in the chardonnay, cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until well chilled.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions until the sorbet becomes thick and smooth. The timing will depend upon the type of machine being used.
Remove from the ice cream maker, spoon into chilled serving dishes or glasses and serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 day.

"The method we present is a big advance because it allows a direct measurement of the body temperature of extinct species, free from the assumptions required with other approaches," Eagle said.
Hulbert said previous research to measure body temperatures of extinct species by comparing concentrations of oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 involved making several assumptions about climate during mineral formation including average humidity of a region, the degree of seasonality and distance from nearest ocean.
The study authors concede there are limitations to the clumped isotope analysis method for studying the evolution of thermoregulation. The results are not a lifelong record and only provide a snapshot of temperature of that animal's body part at the time of formation. Hulbert also said if the tooth enamel has been significantly altered or chemically changed over geologic time, the method will not work.
Eagle said further testing of different-sized dinosaurs and other extinct vertebrates will provide more evidence about whether they were warm- or cold-blooded.
"Temperatures in the range of 26 to 30 degrees Celsius would suggest dinosaurs were similar to alligators and crocodiles," Eagle said. "Temperatures of 36 degrees or higher would be interesting but would not necessarily mean that they were warm-blooded like mammals. It's possible the higher body temperature could be a result of their large body mass, which allows grea
