The Gospel Messenger, June 1913
I have been in Texas ever since Saturday before the third Sunday in March, visiting the dear Lord's people. It has been my privilege to visit churches in the Southwest Texas, Bosque River, Little Flock, and Old Harmony Associations, and I am to visit churches in other Associations. I have visited several churches that do not belong to any Association. I have met Elder Culpepper, formerly of Georgia; Elders Cole, Blackwell, F. L. Webb <sp>, W. S. DuBose, J. W. Baker, G.W. White, J.S. Newman, Franklin Baker, R. W. Harrell, P. F. Watson, J. W. Shook, W. Y. Norman, W. J. D. Bradford, L. N. Barrow, Jasper Chambers, A. B. Chambers, and J. E. Center, and licentiates B. D. Burgin, Parker Burgin, Jeffrys, and Norman Allen, a grandson of the late lamented Elder James Baker. I found these good precious brethren, humble and Christlike, and contented to stand in the ways and enquire for the old paths and walk therein. I feel that the dear Lord has greatly blessed me with His sweet presence in trying to speak, and I have never been more kindly received and heartily endorsed. I find the Old Baptists, as a general thing, in good condition. They are very fine singers. They meet early, and sing the good old songs of Zion, and seem to serve the dear Lord as a sweet privilege. They are plain and simple and full of love. There are quite a number of young Baptists whose hearts are full of love for the doctrine of grace. They do not fellowship secret orders or any of the institutions of men. But very few allow their children to attend Sunday School. I am sorry there are any who do. It is a sad mistake. I have heard a number preach, and there was no uncertain sound in any of their preaching. Their theme was grace from start to finish in our salvation. We need that grace continually to enable us to serve God aright. That grace purges our consciences from dead works to serve the true and living God, and the Lord's people who are thus prepared in heart obey, from the heart, that form of doctrine delivered unto them. The grace of God teaches them to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present evil world.
If that is not men and women taught by God's grace, I do not know who it is. Paul says, "With the heart man believeth unto righteousness." I do not want a doctrine that leaves me out. Paul says, "As many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God." I think that was people led by the Spirit of God. There are two natures in the children of God. But I can't believe that some intangible being in the man is the child of God, and the man is a child of the devil. I do not think we baptize the children of the devil to get to baptize the children of God. "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God." Adam sinners quickened in soul are children of God. They are pure in heart, and shall see God. Surely the grace of God in the soul makes better men and women in their deportment. Good fruit is produced by a good tree. Grace in the soul in regeneration is the efficient cause of all acceptable service to God. I do not think any sober minded child of God can say he loves sin as well as he did before he received a hope. I could not extend the hand of fellowship to such an experience as that. God's children hate sin. Nearly all the dear Baptists that I met were most fully agreed on the above. They most heartily endorse our esteemed Brother Hassell on all points. Elder Newman has been with me eleven days. I do not think there is a man in Texas more universally loved and endorsed than Elder Newman. He is an humble, able defender of the gospel of Christ. He contends for the same principles contended for by our dear brethren, Elders Mitchell, Respess, S. F. Cager <sp>, Henderson, Hassell, Stewart, and the Baptists in our country. A number of other preachers have traveled with me for days, and were so loving and kind that I shall never forget them. Elder T. L. Webb is the efficient editor of the Baptist Trumpet, and Elder Newman is editor of the Primitive Baptist Signal. Both editors are loved and esteemed very highly. They are great and good men. I heard some little talk about the "whole man" doctrine, but I did not see nor hear of anybody in Texas that believes that the body is quickened until the resurrection, or that believe that man in his entirety is spiritual and immortal, pure and holy now.
I feel sure that the Old Baptists of Texas are one people. A brother may sometimes use unqualified expressions, and some, by placing a wrong construction on his language, would make it appear that he was unsound, when there is no real difference. We should all labor in love to unify our people, and leave off all expressions that have a tendency to confuse the minds of the hearers. We should not make a good brother an offender for a word. Good brethren who are agreed on the grand essentials should not let minor differences in expression alienate them.
May God bless and sweetly unify all of His poor afflicted people in love. Precious saints, I love you all. Your many kind words and acts will not soon be forgotten. May all of His precious servants be contented just to be servants and not lords over the dear church. We belong to the church, and not the church to us. We are all brethren, and so much need each other.
I am no near Temple, Texas.

Via Technologies' upcoming Isaiah processor likely outperforms Intel's Silverthorne chip designed for mobile computers based on limited information about the chip that's been made available so far, according to the Isaiah's chief designer.
"Silverthorne is liable to be a little faster than our current C7 [processor], but the new Isaiah will be substantially faster than that," said Glenn Henry, president of Centaur Technology, the Via subsidiary that does processor design for the company.
But don't look for Isaiah processors to match the performance of Intel's high-end processors, the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad.
"The Core 2 is going to be faster. Not massively so, but the Core 2 for performance is the fastest architecture in the world. It will be massively hotter too, and of course massively more expensive," Henry said.
Announced Thursday, Isaiah is a 64-bit processor architecture that is significantly more powerful than the Esther cores used in Via's current line of C7 processors, while consuming the same amount of power. Single-core chips based on the Isaiah architecture will be available soon, with volume production using a 65-nanometer process expected by the end of June.
Intel's Silverthorne processor is due for release around the same time. The chip is billed as an inexpensive, power-efficient processor that's ideal for ultraportable and handheld computers. Silverthorne is Intel's first chip designed for this product segment and will be the heart of Menlow, a chip package that pairs a processor with the company's Poulsbo chipset.
The conclusion that Isaiah processors may outperform Silverthorne is based on the relatively small amount of information about Intel's chip that has been released. Most importantly, it assumes that Silverthorne and a related processor called Diamondville, designed for low-cost computers, use an in-order processor architecture instead of an out-of-order architecture.
An in-order processor is similar to a factory with a single assembly line. The chip can only work on one operation at a time, and other operations must wait for the assembly line to clear before they can be processed. An out-of-order processor, like Isaiah and Intel's Core 2 chips, is equivalent to a factory with multiple assembly lines where different operations can be processed simultaneously.
Other factors also come into play. Silverthorne likely has a substantially smaller cache than Isaiah processors -- which have 1M byte of level 2 cache -- and could use a slower front-side bus, giving Via's chip an additional edge, Henry said.
Silverthorne's performance will also be constrained by business considerations. "They've got to protect the high-end money makers in the Intel product line," Henry said.
"You don't want to make Silverthorne too good and you don't want to make it possible for someone to use a Silverthorne instead of a mobile Core 2," he said.
Intel declined to answer detailed questions about Silverthorne's specifications and architecture, and it's possible the processor may confound Via's expectations when released. A true comparison of performance won't be possible until both chips are released and can be benchmarked by independent observers.
"It's very difficult to make an assessment given that Intel hasn't made a full disclosure on what Silverthorne is," said Dean McCarron, president of Mercury Research, a market research firm that tracks the microprocessor market.
But there are signs the two chips could be closely matched.
"The description of the two components, both Silverthorne and [Isaiah], that we know to date would seem to put them in the same general class," he said, noting that some versions of Silverthorne and Diamondville are expected to ship with two processor cores, while others will have a single core, like Isaiah.
"From what has come out, Silverthorne is rumored to be an in-order machine," McCarron said. "But we haven't actually seen parts yet, and it's certainly possible that particular rumor might not be correct."
Intel clearly aims to partition its product line and there will be a "gap" between Silverthorne and the Core 2 product line, McCarron said, noting this gap could be a difference in processor performance or architectural restrictions that limit the features and capabilities offered with Silverthorne.
"It's very safe to say that the Silverthorne products will be positioned in such a way that they would not threaten products above them in the product stack that Intel has," he said.

Camp Jorn YMCA has hired Ellie Orbison as its new Executive Director. Ellie brings 20 years of YMCA camp management experience to the role. She is the former Development and Alumni Relations Director at nearby Camp Manito-wish, and previously managed resident YMCA camps in Wisconsin, Colorado and New York.
"We are incredibly fortunate to find someone of Ellie's professional caliber for Camp Jorn YMCA," says Camp Jorn board president Richard Ribando. "Her experience in managing YMCA camp budgets, building relationships, administering staff and successful fundraising makes her the perfect fit for us."
Ellie's qualifications include serving as executive director of a 1,500-acre, $1.3 million camp operation on behalf of the YMCA of Greater Rochester. There, she hired and trained seven year-round staff, as well as 90 seasonal staff. Prior, she served as Director for YMCA of the Rockies Camp Chief Ouray..
Even more impressive to Camp Jorn was Ellie's expertise in managing successful fund drive campaigns. Her 120-person volunteer staff at Camp Manito-wish, for instance, raised more than $500,000 for its annual fund drive campaign.
"Ellie brings the full package of talents and skills to Camp Jorn and its operations," says board member Larry Kilpatrick, who served on the hiring committee. "The fact that she's from the Wisconsin area, and incredibly familiar with the YMCA camp programming and fundraising, means she'll be able to hit the ground running this January.
Ellie's education includes a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Minnesota. She is an American Camp Association (ACA) member, and currently serves the organization as a Standards Visitor.
"As a passionate camping advocate committed to YMCA's mission and values, I'm excited about the opportunities and challenges at Camp Jorn" says Ellie, who lives in Presque Isle, Wisconsin. She adds that she looks forward to getting to know Camp Jorn alumni and staff over the next few months as the camp prepares for its 61st year of operation.

Today I've interviewed Jessica from Me Sew Crazy, an amazing lady who had a big idea and really made it happen. Jessica has created SewSet, an ever growing on-line sewing directory, aimed at bringing all of the fabulous sewing tutorials and patterns that are spread out over the web onto one site.
As an 'ideas woman' myself, I know how difficult and frustrating it can be to constantly have brainwaves, but never be able to find the time and energy to make them a reality, so I really admire Jessica for getting this project off the ground, and oh so elegantly!
Read on for the full interview…
Congratulations on the creation of SewSet, was it a an idea that evolved over time, or did it come to you fully formed?
Thank you so much Cinti! SewSet is something that came to me as an idea, a very small idea, and continued to grow as I spoke it over with my husband. In fact, it is not done growing! We see so much potential in just how we can foster SewSet into something that would be really exciting for the sewing community! I was just so frustrated with never being able to find the tutorial I needed, not remembering who the pattern maker was or when I stumbled across it, when I actually wanted it. Why wasn't it all in one place yet, and easy to find? After seeing this void in the sewing world, I spoke with my husband about it and he gave me the foundational seed of technology to accompany it. It evolved from a giant link party, into an advanced search engine for the sewing community.
What was the hardest part about getting it off the ground?
Money. Is that bad to say? Lol. It's the truth. Finding an engineer that was free in her spare time, and willing to lend her expertise and time in the field we needed – all while keeping it under a reasonable budget. Add to that the lack of free time both my husband and I have, it has really been a team effort!
You mentioned that your husband helped you get the project off the ground, did or how did, having someone else on board assist in it's creation?
It has been fantastic having Greg involved! To have someone share a dream with is something that I would want everyone to experience. And not only is this 'someone', this is my partner in life – my best friend – my husband. To have his support and help throughout it all means the world to me, I couldn't have done it without him. We both view things completely differently, so when we talk about any issue we usually come up with two very different ways to handle it. Having those different viewpoints, and two different knowledge bases, gives you a perspective you may not have come up with on your own, and options to really see the best way moving forward.
What other features are you hoping to implement?
We are still working on basic features at the moment including the option to search by skill level, social widgets, and featuring designers. Our goal is to not only give the independent designer a place to be found, but to bring value to them in being a part of SewSet, and there are many different ways we are hoping to achieve this! We want SewSet to be an exciting experience, where users find something new every time they come. Where they can connect with other seamstresses and designers that have the same passions, and become a part of the ever growing on-line sewing community. By tackling the more basic features first, we are working towards the more exciting features that lay ahead with real time social interaction.
What has been the reception to the site so far?
I am honored and humbled by the reception so far. It has been so fantastic to see people not only loving SewSet, but using it on a daily basis! In the very short time since we have launched, we are fast approaching our thousandth pattern in the system! It seems to me that people have been waiting for something like SewSet to come around, and now that it is here they are excited to come on the journey with us to see where it will go.
If you love to sew or are just a beginner, write patterns or tutorials, you should really check out SewSet. I've added some of my sewing tutorials to the directory, it only takes a few clicks, and I'm curious to see how the community evolves as the site develops. I'm sure you will agree that Jessica has done an amazing job.

Your daily dose of true beauty advice…
When you're in crisis, who do you call first? I think we can learn a lot from Habakkuk. He knew who to call when his world was falling apart. The first words we read from this biblical prophet are "O Lord!"
He could have looked at the power structures of his day and cried out, "O King!" He could have looked at the dominant world power and said, "O Assyrians!" He could have studied trends and cried out to a rising nation, "O Babylonians!"
But like a child wisely calling for his parent, Habakkuk knew the source of all love, power, and protection, so he called, "O Lord."
Ultimately, the perspective you need won't be found by going to a counselor or a therapist. It won't come from a book or a trusted friend or even an earthly parent. Some of these may help, if they point you to God Himself. But ultimately, the peace, the perspective, and the answers you need will be found by going to the Wonderful Counselor.

Universal Quotes (36 quotes)
... semantics ... is a sober and modest discipline which has no pretensions of being a universal patent-medicine for all the ills and diseases of mankind, whether imaginary or real. You will not find in semantics any remedy for decayed teeth or illusions of grandeur or class conflict. Nor is semantics a device for establishing that everyone except the speaker and his friends is speaking nonsense
A laide de ces sciences expérimentales actives, lhomme devient un inventeur de phénomènes, un véritable contremaître de la création; et l'on ne saurait, sous ce rapport, assigner de limites à la puissance quil peut acquérir sur la nature, par les progrès futurs des sciences expérimentales
With the aid of these active experimental sciences man becomes an inventor of phenomena, a real foreman of creation; and under this head we cannot set limits to the power that he may gain over nature through future progress of the experimental sciences.

A fear of intellectual inadequacy, of powerlessness before the tireless electronic wizards, has given rise to dozens of science-fiction fantasies of computer takeovers. ... Other scientists too are apprehensive. D. Raj Reddy, a computer scientist at Pittsburghs Carnegie-Mellon University, fears that universally available microcomputers could turn into formidable weapons. Among other things, says Reddy, sophisticated computers in the wrong hands could begin subverting a society by tampering with peoples relationships with their own computersinstructing the other computers to cut off telephone, bank and other services, for example.

A man of science rises ever, in seeking truth; and if he never finds it in its wholeness, he discovers nevertheless very significant fragments; and these fragments of universal truth are precisely what constitutes science.
A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended is its area of applicability. Therefore the deep impression which classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content concerning which I am convinced that within the framework of the applicability of its basic concepts, it will never be overthrown.
All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee;
All Chance, Direction, which thou canst not see;
All Discord, Harmony, not understood;
All partial Evil, universal Good:
And, spite of Pride, in erring Reason's spite,
One truth is clear, 'Whatever IS, is RIGHT.'

All nature wears one universal grin.
Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc. It appears that it must some day serve as a universal motor, and be substituted for animal power, waterfalls, and air currents.
But it will be found... that one universal law prevails in all these phenomena. Where two portions of the same light arrive in the eye by different routes, either exactly or very nearly in the same direction, the appearance or disappearance of various colours is determined by the greater or less difference in the lengths of the paths.
By such deductions the law of gravitation is rendered probable, that every particle attracts every other particle with a force which varies inversely as the square of the distance. The law thus suggested is assumed to be universally true.

From the aspect of energy, renewed by radio-active phenomena, material corpuscles may now be treated as transient reservoirs of concentrated power. Though never found in a state of purity, but always more or less granulated (even in light) energy nowadays represents for science the most primitive form of universal stuff.
I must not pass by Dr. Young called Phaenomenon Young at Cambridge. A man of universal erudition, & almost universal accomplishments. Had he limited himself to anyone department of knowledge, he must have been first in that department. But as a mathematician, a scholar, a hieroglyphist, he was eminent; & he knew so much that it is difficult to say what he did not know. He was a most amiable & good-tempered man; too fond, perhaps, of the society of persons of rank for a true philosopher.
If science could get rid of consciousness, it would have disposed of the only stumbling block to its universal application.
Logic is not concerned with human behavior in the same sense that physiology, psychology, and social sciences are concerned with it. These sciences formulate laws or universal statements which have as their subject matter human activities as processes in time. Logic, on the contrary, is concerned with relations between factual sentences (or thoughts). If logic ever discusses the truth of factual sentences it does so only conditionally, somewhat as follows: if such-and-such a sentence is true, then such-and-such another sentence is true. Logic itself does not decide whether the first sentence is true, but surrenders that question to one or the other of the empirical sciences.
Men in general are very slow to enter into what is reckoned a new thing; and there seems to be a very universal as well as great reluctance to undergo the drudgery of acquiring information that seems not to be absolutely necessary.
Money is a stupid measure of achievement, but unfortunately it is the only universal measure we have.
Most loss of life and property has been due to the collapse of antiquated and unsafe structures, mostly of brick and other masonry. ... There is progress of California toward building new construction according to earthquake-resistant design. We would have less reason to ask for earthquake prediction if this was universal.
Nature clasps all her creatures in a universal embrace; there is not one of them which she has not plainly furnished with all means necessary to the conservation of its being.
Science is the study of the admitted laws of existence, which cannot prove a universal negative about whether those laws could ever be suspended by something admittedly above them. It is as if we were to say that a lawyer was so deeply learned in the American Constitution that he knew there could never be a revolution in America..
Science provides an understanding of a universal experience, and arts provides a universal understanding of a personal experience.
Scientific truth is universal, because it is only discovered by the human brain and not made by it, as art is.
The El Nino phenomenon, the geophysicists' equivalent of the universal solvent.
The major gift of science to the world is a mighty increase of power. Did science then create that power? Not a bit of it! Science discovered that power in the universe and set it free. Science found out the conditions, fulfilling which, the endless dynamic forces of the cosmos are liberated. Electricity is none of mans making, but man has learned how to fulfill the conditions that release it. Atomic energy is a force that man did not create, but that some day man may liberate. Man by himself is still a puny animal; a gorilla is much the stronger. Man's significance lies in another realmhe knows how to fulfill conditions so that universal power not his own is set free. The whole universe as man now sees it is essentially a vast system of power waiting to be released.
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena. The verbal interpretation, on the other hand i.e., the metaphysics of quantum theory is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.
The only universal attribute of scientific statements resides in their potential fallibility. If a claim cannot be disproven, it does not belong to the enterprise of science.
The qualities of bodies, which admit neither intension nor remission of degrees, and which are found to belong to fill bodies within the reach of our experiments, are to be esteemed the universal qualities of all bodies whatsoever.
There could not be a language more universal and more simple, more exempt from errors and obscurities, that is to say, more worthy of expressing the invariable relations of natural objects. Considered from this point of view, it is coextensive with nature itself; it defines all the sensible relations, measures the times, the spaces, the forces, the temperatures; this difficult science is formed slowly, but it retains all the principles it has once acquired. It grows and becomes more certain without limit in the midst of so many errors of the human mind.
There is no other article for individual use so universally known or widely distributed. In my travels I have found [the safety razor] in the most northern town in Norway and in the heart of the Sahara Desert.
There is, however, no universal recipe for scientific advance. It is a matter of groping forward into terra incognita of the outer world by means of methods which should be adapted to the circumstances.
Through radio I look forward to a United States of the World. Radio is standardizing the peoples of the Earth, English will become the universal language because it is predominantly the language of the ether. The most important aspect of radio is its sociological influence. (1926)
Tobacco, in its various forms, is one of the most mischievous of all drugs. There is perhaps no other drug which injures the body in so many ways and so universally as does tobacco. Some drugs offer a small degree of compensation for the evil effects which they produce; but tobacco has not a single redeeming feature and gives nothing in return.
What is the universal?
The single case.
What is the particular?
Millions of cases.

When a physician is called to a patient, he should decide on the diagnosis, then the prognosis, and then the treatment. Physicians must know the evolution of the disease, its duration and gravity in order to predict its course and outcome. Here statistics intervene to guide physicians, by teaching them the proportion of mortal cases, and if observation has also shown that the successful and unsuccessful cases can be recognized by certain signs, then the prognosis is more certain.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Charges Construction Manager for Touro College with $2 Million Commercial Kickback Scheme
|U.S. Attorney's Office June 22, 2010
PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York; GEORGE VENIZELOS, the Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"); and MARJORIE FRANZMAN, the Special Agent-in-Charge for the United States Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General's New York Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations ("DOL-OIG"), announced the arrest of LAWRENCE PESCE, a construction manager for Touro College, on charges that he had defrauded Touro College out of more than $2 million since May 2008 through a kickback scheme that included the submission of an inflated bid for a construction project, bid-rigging, and the submission of fraudulent invoices.
According to the Complaint unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:
In or about May 2008, Touro College sought competitive bids for a construction project located at 230 West 125th Street in Manhattan ("the project"). LAWRENCE PESCE was Touro College's construction manager for the project. Prior to bids being received by Touro College, PESCE reached out to a developer in the region (the "developer"), indicating he could ensure that the developer's company would get the project if the developer agreed to pay kickbacks to him. The night before bids were due to Touro College, PESCE met with the developer, who intended to bid for the project in the approximate amount of $9.1 million. PESCE told the developer to instead bid $10.9 million on the project, and kick back the difference of approximately $1.8 million to him. The developer agreed to do so, and also arranged, with PESCE's assistance, to submit "dummy bids" from other contractors, all in amounts in excess of $10.9 million, which would ensure that the developer's bid was the lowest. The developer was then awarded the contract by Touro College.
Over the course of the ensuing two-year project, PESCE directed the developer to submit additional, falsely inflated invoices, or "change orders," that overbilled Touro College by hundreds of thousands of dollars. PESCE expected to receive, as additional kickbacks, the difference between the actual change order amounts and the inflated amounts. Through the initial inflated bid and inflated change orders, the developer has been paid by Touro College in excess of $12.4 million for work on the project, which is now substantially complete.
The developer made the kickback payments to PESCE from the project in a number of ways. First, at PESCE's direction, the developer gave PESCE checks totaling $568,002 made payable to a company called "Hamilton Construction." To hide the fact that these checks were really just kickbacks to PESCE, the developer generated paperwork to make it appear that Hamilton Construction was a subcontractor doing work on the project, when in fact it was not. Second, the developer paid kickbacks to PESCE in the form of real estate. Specifically, in 2009, the developer supplied $350,000 to fund the purchase by PESCE of a property in Wantagh, New York, while executing fraudulent documents to make it appear as though they were business partners. In addition, the developer agreed to transfer to PESCE four units of a housing development located in Wappinger Falls, New York, owned by the developer and valued in excess of $1 million, in satisfaction of all remaining kickbacks owed to PESCE by the developer. Finally, the developer gave PESCE a total of approximately $190,000 in cash kickbacks.
The developer ultimately became an informant for the FBI. On or about May 14, 2010, acting at the direction of the FBI, the developer recorded a meeting he had with PESCE at a diner in New Jersey. During the meeting, the developer gave PESCE a $10,000 undercover payment as part of the kickback scheme. At one point during the meeting, PESCE explained why he did not think that he and the developer would be investigated for the kickback scheme, stating that law enforcement was "interested in, you know, federal offenses," and Touro was a private institution. After the developer handed the envelope with $10,000 to PESCE, PESCE stated: "Oh boy, we couldn't be any more obvious than that." At other points in the recorded discussion, PESCE joked that he wanted the project to continue for as long as possible; talked about the ocean-view Wantagh property that he purchased through the kickback scheme; and quipped about coming in a submarine to receive his next cash payoff because "no one could be tracking us."
PESCE, 45, of Bellmore, New York, is charged with one count of wire fraud which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. PESCE is expected to be presented in Manhattan federal court later today.
U.S. Attorney PREET BHARARA stated: "Lawrence Pesce allegedly breached his position of trust at Touro College and received a $2 million windfall from his dishonest sale of the college's construction project. With the FBI and DOL-OIG, our Office is committed to pursuing and prosecuting corruption and fraud in all sectors, public and private."
FBI Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge GEORGE VENIZELOS stated: "Lawrence Pesce allegedly constructed a plan to engage in illegal activity, underestimating the interest of law enforcement. His confidence reached excessive magnitudes, at times brazenly joking about the ease with which he carried out his arrangement. Now, the joke is on him. For the FBI and our partners at the DOL-OIG and the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York, wire fraud is no laughing matter. We will continue to seek out those who engage in all types of fraudulent activity, and bring about certain justice."
U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General Special Agent-in-Charge MARJORIE FRANZMAN stated: "Today's Complaint represents the Office of Inspector General's commitment to investigate labor-related crimes involving the construction industry in New York City. We will continue to work proactively with the FBI and other law enforcement partners to prevent these and other such crimes."
Mr. BHARARA praised the FBI and DOL-OIG and for their outstanding work in investigating this case. Mr. BHARARA added that the investigation is continuing.
This case is being handled jointly by the Office's Complex Frauds and Organized Crimes Units. Assistant United States Attorneys LISA ZORNBERG and MARK LANPHER are in charge of this prosecution.
The charge contained in the Complaint is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

GungHo Online's popular mobile title Puzzles & Dragons, has been downloaded over 30 million times to-date in Japan. The news was revealed by industry veteran Dr. Serkan Toto, who cites a press release circulated by GungHo earlier this week.
That same press release says that Puzzle & Dragons has seen 4 million downloads in the U.S. and Canada, 2 million downloads in South Korea and 1 million downloads across Taiwan and Hong Kong.
While numbers outside of Japan are nothing to balk at, the game is clearly a mega hit in Japan with a lot of continued momentum.

An Arizona appeals court has overturned a man's drug convictions, ruling that a warrant was needed to track a man's whereabouts by using a GPS device secretly placed on a borrowed car.
A search of the borrowed car occurred as Thomas Keller Mitchell was a target of a 2010 drug investigation in Yavapai County.
The U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 struck down law enforcement's warrantless use of GPS tracking in investigations, and Mitchell objected to use of evidence from the search that turned up methamphetamine and marijuana.
However, the trial judge allowed it and Mitchell was convicted.
The Court of Appeals ruled Monday that the warrantless installation and use of the GPS device on the borrowed car to monitor Mitchell's movements was an unlawful search under the Constitution's Fourth Amendment.

In a case that drew widespread attention, a Seattle police officer who pulled the hair of a man and later physically threatened him in a holding cell has avoided being fired after agreeing to a lengthy suspension, reassignment and additional training.
In all, the department found that Officer Clayton Powell, 52, engaged in multiple acts of misconduct arising from an Aug. 2, 2012, incident in South Seattle.
The discipline is similar to that meted out in 2011 to then-gang Detective Shandy Cobane, who had threatened during a robbery call to beat the "Mexican piss" out of a prone Latino man.
But Powell's case included an unusual twist: At the direction of a civilian watchdog who scrutinizes internal investigations, the department expanded the review to examine why top commanders failed to make sure that a timely use-of-force report was completed.

Most Read Stories
As a result, Assistant Chief Nick Metz was ordered to undergo additional training regarding the lapse — a highly unusual action for a top-ranking commander.
All of the actions, detailed in internal-investigation documents disclosed Friday under a public-disclosure request by The Seattle Times, come at a time when the department is continuing to respond to a federal mandate to curtail excessive force found by the Department of Justice.
As part of a settlement that runs until August 2016, Powell's union, the Seattle Police Officers' Guild, agreed not to appeal his discipline.
In turn, Interim Police Chief Jim Pugel set aside an initial determination that Powell be fired and instead suspended Powell for 30 days without pay — the most severe discipline short of termination. However, 10 days were held in abeyance.
Powell will be subject to termination if he engages in serious misconduct of a similar nature in the future.
In addition, the 20-year veteran was reassigned to the department's Community Outreach unit under the supervision of an assistant chief. Among other things, Powell is to undergo training in that unit, perform outreach duties, meet with community leaders and participate in the production of a department training video on "fair and respectful" policing.
On a more personal level, Powell is to continue counseling sessions.
Powell came under scrutiny after he and other officers were called to a possible assault of a 9-year-old victim with an air-soft pellet gun.
While surrounded by a hostile crowd, Powell and a young man in the crowd began arguing.
After the man made a statement about wanting to face Powell again when he wasn't on duty, Powell threw down his badge and police baseball cap and challenged the man.
In the exchange, captured on a YouTube video, Powell pushed the man at times, including one time when the man advanced on him, according to the internal-investigation documents. One push occurred after the man purportedly spit on Powell, an allegation the man has denied.
While another officer attempted to handcuff the man, Powell grabbed the man's hair and hat and pulled him down toward the hood of a patrol car, according to patrol-car video cited in the documents.
At a South Precinct holding cell, where the man was taken, Powell appeared to display a middle finger to the man and make a threatening gesture with his fist, surveillance video showed.
The man, Ismail Abdella, has filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit against the city.
Pugel, in an interview Friday, noted that Powell, like Cobane, had been "straightforward and honest" about serious misconduct. Cobane, who was nearly fired, was suspended for 30 days without pay, demoted and required to mend fences.
Pugel called Powell's actions "unacceptable behavior."
In the official findings, the department found Powell violated the law, used unnecessary force and profanity, and acted in an unprofessional and discourteous fashion.
Powell's case was reviewed by the City Attorney's Office for a possible criminal-assault charge. But an outside expert advised it would be difficult to prove criminal conduct, although the expert said Powell's actions should be evaluated "regarding his fitness to continue in police service."
The Police Department's Office of Professional Accountability (OPA) then conducted the internal investigation that initially focused on Powell's conduct. But the review was broadened when the OPA's civilian auditor, Anne Levinson, requested that the assistant chief and captain in Powell's chain of command be interviewed, according to Levinson's Aug. 9 semiannual report.
Levinson wrote that she would have sustained allegations against both commanders of failure to properly document use of force, while acknowledging there was "some confusion" on what was required because of the potential criminal and policy violations by Powell.
In an interview, Levinson said that in order for the review system to have integrity, all officers need to be held to the same standard no matter their rank.
Levinson did not identify the commanders in her report, but Metz, the assistant chief, and Capt. Mike Nolan have both told The Seattle Times that they were interviewed.
Metz was found to be responsible for assuring that a use-of-force report was produced at the time of the incident.
While Metz was ordered to undergo additional training, no misconduct was found. OPA Director Pierce Murphy said he concluded the failure resulted from a misunderstanding.
In an interview, Metz said he directed Nolan on the night of the incident to make sure the report was done, but only learned a year later that it didn't get to the OPA. Still, Metz said, he was willing to accept responsibility for the omission.
"It is what it is. It's behind me. I'm glad it's done," Metz said.
On the night of the incident, he said, there was confusion and possible miscommunication about what should be done, in part because of the potential criminal aspects of the matter.
Nolan, in an interview, took responsibility, saying that amid running discussions on what to do he probably misunderstood Metz's directive and "dropped the ball."
But the incident was thoroughly documented, Nolan said. "It just didn't get documented in the format."
Seattle police originally touted the incident as an example of officers coming forward to report suspected misconduct, just days after the Police Department and Justice Department signed a landmark agreement to address the findings of excessive force. But the department revised that account about a month later, saying it was Powell who had brought the incident to the attention of supervisors.

Cool Stuff: Mondo's Comic-Con Posters Featuring 'Lord of the Rings,' 'Princess Mononoke,' 'Creature From The Black Lagoon' And More
Posted on Tuesday, July 17th, 2012 by Germain Lussier
On Wednesday, you knew it was going to be big. Game of Thrones and two different posters for The Dark Knight Rises were just the tip of the iceberg. The Mondo Booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 was a must visit during the convention, featuring hundreds of eager fans rabidly anticipating the next of several random surprise releases. Lines caused major problems with security and with the schedules of Con attendees desperate to get one of these posters but, mostly, people left happy. Some of the highlights included a Lord of the Rings trilogy set by J.C. Richard, Princess Mononoke by Olly Moss, Lego Lord of the Rings by Kevin Tong, several Adventure Time pieces and even a surprise visit by Guillermo Del Toro to autograph Mimic by Jay Shaw.
After the jump, check out all the posters we haven't already posted about in one easy to view gallery. Read More »

A cycling backpack built to take the punishment of a TransAlp race or your day to day commute. Double the capacity of our BC1, the Flink® Link ball-joint equipped BC3 features a lightweight frame and allows for natural freedom of movement for the upper body yet still provides optimal load distribution. The BC3 utilizes a high-tech, heavy-duty water proof material (water proofed on both sides), with water resistant zippers, a helmet holder, internal compartments to keep you organized and a sleeve for a hydration bladder. The BC3 can carry your gear on an overnight mountain bike trip or your office clothes and laptop on an everyday commute. Available in Regular and Large sizes.

The Backpack Motion System. Developed for Cyclists. Goodbye Gravity.
Nobody really likes carrying a backpack... it is a necessity. It restricts your movement while the weight of the load has an undesired effect on your skeleton, muscles and posture. In a word, it is exhausting. People are dynamic and constantly moving. As you move, any load will be continually transferred to your body and your shoulders will have to move this weight, constantly putting your muscles under strain. The more active you are, the greater the effect. Lower capacity day packs, touring packs and backpacks for athletes are based on an outdated design which ignores the influence of dynamic movement on carrying comfort. As ergonomic specialists, our target is to make backpacks as comfortable as possible. Our revolutionary backpack design – a direct result of our exhaustive studies – allows the upper body to move freely and independantly from the load. The semi-rigid frame transfers the load lower, to the body's center of gravity, and to a point where the back's movement is minimal. To achieve the desired freedom of movement for the upper body it was obvious that the shoulder harness system needed to be isolated from the load resulting in a brilliant and revolutionary solution.
* Recommendations are based on average people.
Using the central Flink® Link ball joint, in combination with a load bearing frame, Ergon has created a backpack featuring unequaled comfort and freedom of movement.

Hi all, I'm looking for software that allows me to draw and use layers in pretty much the same way I would in GIMP or Photoshop, only projected onto a globe. I've tried 'painting' in Fractal Terrains but find this tiresome. It's slow, unpredictable (ok, not per se, but since its main use is for generating terrain by fractals it really doesn't facilitate freeform drawing, you know what I mean). The thing I like about FT is that it features some classical map projections which indeed would be very useful when it comes to exporting a finished map. I'm really not after the detailed topographic rendering at this point, because I know that FT doesn't handle it the way I'd like it to, and I've gathered that there aren't really any other programs doing this in a realistic way (what with plate tectonics and all) so atm I'm going to try to model it all by head.
Basically I want to see a globe projected in whatever way I prefer (just as in FT) that I easily can move around and add layers to (prevailing winds et al. - all by own design, so nothing fancy is needed here). Of course, this is possible if I do some work in GIMP, then FT, then GIMP, then FT, then GIMP and so forth ad nauseam, haha. This jumping back and forth is what I seek to avoid.
I have some slight experience with 3D-modelling software of the advanced sort but I really want a program where adding layers isn't a hassle. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

How much is a 1987 mobile home worth?
Typically, 1987 is the cut off for a lot of mobile home dealers looking to purchase homes. Buyers are now seeking mobile homes with shingled roofs and vinyl siding. So if you have a 1987, congratulations, you made the cut.
Now, determining the value of this home is based on several factors. If you have a 3 bedroom home, it is going to be worth more than a 2 bedroom. Likewise, a 2 bath is worth more than a 1 bath. These are common sense factors that, you do not need to read this article, to realize. However, there are some tips that you can use to determine the value of a 1987 mobile home.
- Search the Internet for your home (Same year, style, make, etc…). Find out what they are going for on the market. This will give you a base price to work with.
- Who are your target buyers?If you are looking to sell to a private buyer, you could get more for your mobile home. These people are looking to purchase a home to live in and will pay the going rate. So what's the bad news? These buyers are few and far between and there are a ton of homes for them to choose from. Why would they buy a 1987 mobile home when they can buy a 1997 for the same price? They are also turned down by the park pretty often, because of credit problems. So, be wise when setting your price (if you want it to sell).If you are looking to sell your home quickly, you can find brokers, like we are, to buy your home. We often purchase homes within days, or even hours, from the time we view them. We do not need approval from parks and there are no issues with credit problems to interrupt the sales process. We also pay cash for all our homes, so there are no banks to deal with either. So, what's the bad news? Since we are not going to live in the mobile home, brokers must pay less for the home in order to sell it for profit. So, put some thought into it when setting your selling price (if you want it to sell). For more on how to determine value – search our articles for selling tips.

I don't speak French. I don't speak German. I don't speak any language other than English (oh, and the international language of love, of course). So when a novelist, usually a contemporary literary novelist, presents me with big chunks of text in a foreign language I simply haven't got a fucking clue what they are talking about. They have therefore lost me. Game over. Finis. Kaputt.
I do appreciate that a lack of a foreign tongue is my loss. I dearly wish I could speak another language but like driving a car, the periodic table and musical prowess, it is something that is beyond me. My brain just doesn't seem to work that way.
And because of this I get miffed when I come across lines, paragraphs, whole sequences sometimes, in another language. The odd word here and there, especially in dialogue, I can live with and can usually guess at a meaning. But long show-offy chunks are another pet book hate.
So there.

Naturally, the justification for this sexist exploitation is "health." Platkin the superhero is providing a public service! What would women do if we didn't have complete strangers to protect us from ourselves and our self-destructive choices? It's just too dangerous to leave us in charge of what to put in or take out of our own bodies. I am all for teaching people healthy eating habits and encouraging balanced diets and regular exercise, but this is sensationalism. Thin people aren't glared at when they treat themselves to "bad" food. Thin people are allowed to indulge, because they're thin. Meanwhile, it's assumed that fat people eat nothing but cheeseburgers and donuts, so people shake their heads when they catch a fatty in the act.
The only redeeming thing about WEtv is the six straight hours of Golden Girls they broadcast every weekday. The rest of their programing is about either losing weight or gaining a husband. Has anyone actually seen this show? Maybe it's not as bad as the website and promotional video make it seem.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

A Missoula man is jail after officers arrested him for having drugs and and trying to run away when they went to check on him.
Missoula County Sheriff's Captain Brad Giffin said deputies went to 24-year-old John William Wheeler's home on River Road Monday morning to do a welfare check.
When they found Wheeler officers say he had a gun in his possession, threw it on the ground and ran outside.
Giffin said officers were able to detain Wheeler, he was taken to jail and charged with felony criminal possession of dangerous drugs, criminal possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing a peace officer.

Moffat: Doctor Who is the show you can't kill
Steven Moffat has explained why he believes Doctor Who has endured for almost 50 years.
Speaking in an interview with Worldscreen, he said: "I frequently call Doctor Who the most perfectly evolved predator in television. It is the perfect television show. It is the show you can't kill.
He adds: "We could all drop dead tomorrow, all of us who work in Doctor Who, and they'd just carry on making it. It is dependent on no individual. You give it your all for the years that you do it and when you leave it won't even notice—you'll be shed like scales!
"And you can recast the Doctor. Not only can you recast the Doctor, you can create a Doctor who is appropriate for the times. He can always be modern. He can always be new. It's an ancient tradition and yet it's a brand-new iteration of that tradition. So it feels old and new at the same time, old and young."

Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Sumatra
We are adding 100 new coffees today! April Fools! Actually, we are only adding four but they are outstanding. First up are two new microlots from South America: Ecuador Luz Chinchay and Flora Bermeo Microlot is a combined lot from two wonderful women farmers that are participants in a new cooperative effort to bring carefully grown small farm coffees to market. This particular lot has a buttered toast roast flavor with hints of winey fruit and classic Typica cultivar characteristics. Colombia Tolima, Misael Garzon Microlot has tangy bittersweet notes perfectly balanced with fruity brightness, when we opened the vacuum packs of this coffee the sweet aroma of the green coffee bowled us over! Costa Rica Caturra "Macho Arce" is a classic Costa Rica cup with sweet citrus, maple syrup, chocolate milk and hazelnut notes. Hawaii coffee is back with Hawaii Ka'anapali DP Maui Moka 11 Screen this is a unique small-bean cultivar that is difficult but rewarding to roast, expect honey, cocoa, and oily body, Behmor users take caution: even with a small grid drum you will loose quite a few beans, so excercise caution when roasting. Finally, we are adding the ever popular Sumatra Takengon Classic a low acid, tenor-to-bass toned cup with that distinct flavor profile of dark carmelized sugar, earthy spice, and ripe fruit. As always, click through to the full reviews for more information.

This month, the Johnson and Ellis Counties in Texas launched a new segment to their Meals-on-Wheels program. They are now delivering dog and cat food to their clients who own those types of pets.
Linda Deese, with Meals-on-Wheels, indicated that pets provide senior citizens with friendship, joy, and a reason for living. However, many times those seniors do not have money to buy food for themselves or for their pets. Meals-on-Wheel volunteers often see the seniors sharing their delivered meal with their pet. This showed a need to provide food for pets, too.
Joshua is the eighth community to launch AniMeals. (It was first launched nearby in Burleson in 2009. All of the pet food that is delivered to the seniors is donated. It is delivered at the same time when seniors receive their noon-time meal.
Employees from Joshua Self Storage Solutions take time from their busy schedule to deliver food on the first Monday of every month for the Meals-on-Wheels program. Joseph Sidawi, manager at Joshua Self Storage Solutions, indicated his employees are all animal lovers and have a desire to help the seniors and their pets. Joshua Self Storage Solutions has been involved with Meals-on-Wheels now for about a year.
The local animal shelter helps collect the pet food donations and also stores the food during the month. The animal shelter works closely with Joshua Self Storage volunteers to make sure the collected pet food is properly delivered to seniors with pets.
Meals on Wheels started during WWII when meals were delivered in prams to British servicemen. The first program in the United States opened when meals were delivered to homebound residents in Philadelphia. It is one of America's oldest and largest organizations with over 5,000 Senior Nutrition Programs serving over one million meals per day. (It's interesting to note that Mississippi and New Mexico are the states with the highest rates of seniors facing the threat of hunger!)
Studies have found that pet owning senior citizens have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, lower rates of illness, and lower mortality rates than non-pet owners. Those pet-owning seniors also get more involved in daily activities and socializing.
So, logic and reason would follow that if a pet was healthy and had food that the pet-owning senior citizen would also be healthier. So, Joseph Sidawi and his employees at Joshua Self Storage Solutions are helping to keep pets and pet-owners healthy – and happy.

CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier Preview: Panama v Mexico
Mexico can take another step towards a place at the 2014 FIFA World Cup with a win over Panama on Friday.
Aldo de Nigris' goal gave Mexico their first win in the fourth round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, a 1-0 victory over Jamaica on Tuesday that sent them top of the group. A win over Panama, who are a point back and second in the group, would complete an unbeaten opening five games of the stage for Jose Manuel de la Torre's side.
Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez is Mexico's star, and he has hit five goals so far in their qualification campaign. With two goals each, Carlos Salcido and Jesus Zavala are their next highest scorers, while de Nigris is likely to be handed another start after his strike in Kingston. The goal will have given Mexico much-needed confidence as they recorded their first win in seven matches and only victory of 2013.
Mallorca attacker Giovani dos Santos may have to settle for a place off the bench once more.
The majority of Panama's squad ply their trade in the Liga Panamena de Futbol, while the top scorer in their squad is Veracruz striker Luis Tejada (35 goals in 71 internationals). Panama have been in solid form in qualifying but were beaten in their previous outing, losing 2-1 to Peru in an international friendly on Saturday. Both sides need a win at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez Gutierrez, but expectations are higher for Mexico, who have qualified for the last five World Cups. If he gets the service and opportunities, Hernandez has the ability to be the difference against an experienced Panama defence. The 25-year-old has a fine goalscoring record for Mexico - he has 32 goals in 48 internationals - and could lead his side to victory.
Mexico have more than just Hernandez at their disposal and their win over Jamaica should hold them in good stead ahead of the trip to Panama City.

Mother's Day 2014: Send us your selfies!
There's a famous saying -- "A woman becomes a mother when she gets pregnant, a man becomes a father when he sees his baby."
Even from the first signs of pregnancy, a woman begins to hope, dream, and worry about her future offspring, and what the future will hold for them.
Mothers never stop thinking about their children. They shower their children with kindness, show off their talents and achievements to anyone who will listen, and always have the best hopes and dreams for their kids.
My mother is a remarkable woman. She is the most positive person I know, always bringing sunshine to every room that she enters.

Biting Humor
Dracula, as most of us who enjoy being creeped out are well aware, is one of the undead, drawing his vitality from mortals whom he drains of their blood and their independent spirits � He never really goes away; he simply disappears for a while then comes back for more victims. He had a good run at the Cincinnati Playhouse back in 1995 and, true to form, he's haunting the place again in another production directed by Stephen Hollis, who staged the show 12 years ago and made DRACULA into one of the Playhouse's all-time most popular productions.
For his script, Hollis has gone back to the source, an adaptation by Hamilton Deane of Bram Stoker's original novel. That script had its world premiere at the Little Theatre in London in 1927. It opened the same year on Broadway with a script further revised by John L. Balderston. It was so effective that people fainted in the aisles; in fact, nurses were kept on hand to tend to those who were overcome by fear. The New York production made a star of a little-known Hungarian actor named Bela Lugosi. (If you don't know who he is, you might recognize him as the inspiration for the Muppet known as "The Count.")
Hollis' Playhouse's 1995 production was highly theatrical -- full of melodrama, adventure, suspense and spectacular special effects, not to mention some biting humor -- and that's likely to hold true again. The Playhouse, however, promises that the effects won't be simple repeats of what scared audiences back in the 1990s. In fact, given advances in stage technology, it's likely that this Dracula will be even more amazing and fear-inducing than its predecessor.
It's worth noting that Dracula's production team includes Cincinnati Entertainment Award Hall of Famer Paul Shortt as the scenic designer and multiple CEA winner Drew Fracher as fight choreographer.
Come this Sunday afternoon and linger after the performance for a "meet the artists" session: You'll hear comments from actors playing Dracula (Kurt Rhoads), Dr. Seward (Patrick Husted), the virginal Lucy (Julia Coffey) and the lunatic Renfield (Scott Schaefer), among others. No need to bring garlic, however: The Playhouse assures us safety precautions have been taken. 513-421-3888. (See Onstage.) -- RICK PENDER
While fans worry and wonder about whether Kevin Shields will ever put out another My Bloody Valentine record, there is another Modern Psych Rock pioneer from the same era who has been much more generous with his output. With Spacemen 3, Sonic Boom (born Pete Kember) was a member of a band that created a subtle but strong riptide of influence that has led many to call it one of the more significant bands of its time. With Psych Rock coming back gradually, it's hard to imagine most of today's practitioners even existing without Kember and Co.'s seminal albums like The Perfect Prescription and Sound of Confusion. When SM3 ended with the beginning of the '90s, Kember didn't try to go BritPop and cash in; he simply kept doing what he was doing, further exploring the range of sonic art under various guises. The most straightforward of those projects was formed right after SM3 split -- SPECTRUM does contain some dreamy Pop elements, but it has never lost its inherent experimentalism. Kember has kept Spectrum alive all these years and currently he is on a tour of the States, spreading the good, trippy word before the release of the band's new album, titled On the Wings of Mercury, due by the end of the year.
Whatever he calls the project, anything coming from the mind of Sonic Boom is sure to be provocative, challenging and more psychedelic than the ghost of Timothy Leary jamming with 13th Floor Elevators where the pyramid meets the eye. The band plays with Dayton's amazing Lap Partners Thursday at the Southgate House. 859-431-2201. (See Music.) -- MIKE BREEN
While not a political comedian like Lewis Black or Lizz Winstead, COSTAKI ECONOMOPOULOS enjoys telling a good joke about the administration. "It's actually been kind of nice lately, (now) that Bush is kind of back on the list of things you can make fun of," he says. Economopoulos holds a Master's degree in political science, a subject in which he remains well-versed. "There was stretch there a couple years ago," he says, "where you could do some Bush jokes, but man it would really cost you some 'comedy capital.' " Fortunately he has a pretty diverse set which contains everything from silly one-liners to more socially relevant topics. An example of silliness? "I was cruising around the other day and I saw a sign at a Hyundai dealer that said, 'No Interest,' and it was funny because that's just what I was thinking." Economopoulos can also be heard Wednesday mornings on The Bob & Tom Radio Show, where he delivers his popular "Econo-monologue." Economopoulos performs Thursday-Sunday at Go Bananas in Montgomery. $7-$12. 513-984-9288. (See Onstage.) -- P.F. WILSON
As part of the First Friday Gallery hop in Covington this week, THE NORDHEIM GALLERY opens a new exhibition, A Terrain -- The Tempest and Repose. The show features work by two unconventional Kentucky-based artists, Kurt Nicaise and Jeff Schilling. Nicaise's drawings and paintings have been in both modest and large exhibitions -- from The Nordheim Gallery to The Carnegie Center for Creative and Performing Arts. Schilling is less well known in galleries, but perhaps more recognizable as a Fort Mitchell personality, carving his sticks and stones on his front porch for the past 30 years (weather permitting). Indeed, people know him as "The Front Porch Guy," and the gallery is using the moniker as a staying point. Nicaise and Schilling both take cues from the Northern Kentucky landscape: Nicaise's environmental elements are interpretive, while Schilling's are literal, using natural objects as his medium. Opening reception: 6-9 p.m. Friday. 859-292-3960. (See Art.) -- LAURA JAMES
THE CARNEGIE VISUAL AND PERFORMING ART CENTER´S Installations and Performances exhibitions are always worth seeing. Since its renovation, the building is spectacular. This exhibition is an opportunity for artists with all kinds of disciplinary backgrounds to incorporate time and space as elements of the art works they create. Expect a collision. Some artists who work largely with "installation art" (such as Robert McConaughy) can wow audiences with their attention to the visual, psychological and logistical aspects of a viewer's movement through an art-altered space. But other artists who usually work in more traditional media use their place in this show as an opportunity to experiment on a larger scale: ambitiously, awkwardly or both. Also, look out for the work of out-of-towner Kristina Arnold, whose stringy-biological-meets decorative-domestic installations are prone to intrigue and delight. Opening reception: 6-9 p.m. Friday. 859-491-2030. (See Art and Events.) -- MATT MORRIS
How do you bring to life a play that everyone knows? How do you become a character whose very name has stereotypical expectations? Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's Chris Guthrie says it's intimidating to play Romeo -- which he'll be doing starting for the next month starting on Friday evening with the season-opening production of ROMEO AND JULIET. "Romeo is perhaps one of the most performed characters in the English language," he says. "His name has worked its way into our everyday language to describe a great lover. Overcoming what audiences think they know about him, and even what I think I might know about him, is a challenge." Guthrie, who began his local theatrical career back in 2000, played Hamlet for Know Theatre last season (earning a Cincinnati Entertainment Award nomination for his efforts), so he knows his way around tough parts. It's likely he'll bring some exciting insights to Juliet's beau. See for yourself at CSC's Race Street theater. 513-381-2283. (See Onstage.) -- RICK PENDER
The food, the music and the dancing will all be caliente this weekend at the 14th annual SU CASA HISPANIC FEST.

"Plays and plants" could be the theme for SECOND SUNDAY ON MAIN. Play Around and Eco-Main-ia offer an interesting mix of activities for the last blast of 2007. The League of Cincinnati Theaters and Cinstges.com offer free excerpts from upcoming plays including A Sleeping Country and As White as O, in addition to some behind-the-scenes stuff like learning to throw a stage punch and the tricks of the trade that went into set designs for Playhouse in the Park's production of Dracula. After attending InkTank's talk with Joseph McDonough about how to write a play, mosey on over to the mayor's Young Professional's Kitchen Cabinet to learn about "recycling, biking and other ways to help the environment." The first 200 people to attend will receive a free canvas shopping bag from Kroger and free nightlights (which use 90 percent less energy) from Duke Energy. Toss in free bike valet and free parking for your car and there's no reason to stay home. www.secondsundayonmail.org. (See Events.) -- MARGO PIERCE
The CINCINNATI BENGALS open the 2007 season in dramatic fashion, hosting last year's division-champion Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Although the team has quite a few question marks after ending last year's campaign in complete meltdown fashion, it begins the year with healthy playmakers. Carson Palmer, Rudi Johnson, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh will give the Bengals a chance to overcome their current deficiencies: injuries, suspensions and inexperience. Will offensive linemen Levi Jones and Willie Anderson be healthy from the start? If not, have Bobbi Williams and Andrew Whitworth eaten enough Who Dey Burgers to make up for the loss of pass-blocking talent? Will Justin Smith and Robert Geathers continue to rush quarterbacks like John Rambo did to those cops in First Blood? Monday night these questions will be answered, and we'll have a better idea of whether the Bengals are a legit AFC championship contender (a la 2005's 11-5 season) or more like last year's heartbreaking 8-8 team. It's kind of early to consider it a statement game, but home on Monday night against the division champs is a big deal. 513-621-TDTD. (See Sports.) -- DANNY CROSS
