PCFD Explorer Post named best youth group in state

Young men and women from Port Chester who were seeking an opportunity to gain experience being volunteer firefighters have also gained recognition when their unit was named 2013 Youth Group of the Year by the Fireman's Association of the State of New York.
President of the group Leonardo Hernandez-Gomez noted how proud he is to be part of the Port Chester Fire Department Explorer Post 700. He "really enjoys attending the drills because [the Explorers] learn how to work the fire hose, open the hydrant, use the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), how to safely rescue someone in a fire and much more." The most memorable experience he has had while serving with the Post has been serving food to the children at the Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla.
Each year, the Fireman's Association of the State of New York (FASNY) selects fire companies that demonstrate achievements in firefighting, fire safety and community service. Nominations for Youth Group were announced in February and Explorer Posts from across New York vied for the title, but in the end it was Port Chester's Explorer Post 700 that took top honors in April when the decision was reached. The Post's commitment to serving the community as well as letters of recommendation from elected officials and Fire Chief Kevin McMinn gave the Post the final victory.
Though FASNY is headquartered in Albany, Port Chester Police Sergeant, former fire chief and founding member of the Post Charles Nielsen does not think the group will be making the trek upstate to attend the annual convention in August where the Youth Group of the Year and other awards for achievements in firefighting will be presented. He has instead arranged a small local recognition ceremony on Sunday, June 30 at the South End Fire Station on Grace Church Street starting at 4 p. m. Nielsen was a founding member of the Post in the 1970s and was ecstatic at the news of receiving the award.
"The Post is near and dear to my heart," said Nielsen. "The Post was blown for a couple years, but when my son was 14, we started it up again."
The Explorer Post has been charging full steam ahead since it was rekindled nine months ago. In addition to training with and assisting the Port Chester Volunteer Fire Department, the Post has performed community service that included bell ringing for the Salvation Army, making activity kits for the children at the Blythedale Children's Hospital and assisting at the Hospital's Christmas party and summer carnival, and donating handmade blankets to the Hudson Valley Firemen's Home. The Post has also raised money for their equipment, uniforms, and travel needs by hosting pasta dinners and charity basketball games. They plan to march in the Hudson Valley Volunteer Firemen's Parade in West Glens Falls later this month .
The Post is currently made up of more than 15 co-ed members from 14-18 years old. Many past
members have gone on to serve as volunteer firefighters for the Village of Port Chester and chiefs of departments in other towns have been Post members as well.
"We've all been through this," said Nick Melillo, a former youth group member and now a PCFD volunteer. Melillo noted that the youth members were a big help, adding that they "do everything the firefighters do except go into fires."
Meetings generally take place every other Monday at 6:30 p. m. at Fire Headquarters/Harry Howard Hook & Ladder Co. on Westchester Avenue. Different companies-there are seven in Port Chester-take turns conducting training sessions. On May 6, with a dozen young men and women in attendance, Ladder 31 conducted a mask introduction
and area search drill.
Peter Kennedy of the Ladder Company gave
instructions on proper procedures for wearing an oxygen mask and what can be expected. All lessons are conducted in a safe and supportive environment.
"If for any reason you feel nervous, call out," said Kennedy.
The members were paired off, and once outfitted in turnout gear and breathing apparatus, they were taken next door to a 20'x20' indoor training facility. Very little light from outside was let in and the room was filled with makeshift obstacles and training exercise tools. The Company leaders explained that their objective was to follow the fire hose that sprawled across the room and passed under various objects, such as a boat on a trailer and a carefully propped up ladder. A smoke machine pumped billowing clouds into the room, music blared from a stereo, and the chaos of a burning building was heightened by the Company members banging on objects and pushing things over. If this sensory impairment wasn't enough, the Explorers had to be alert to "victims" (a knotted up hose pulled through a t-shirt) trapped under a shelving unit nearby. The Company members called out words of encouragement and pertinent tips such as "communicate with your partner" and "seconds matter."
While the other Explorers were waiting to go in, they partnered with volunteer firefighters going over safety protocols, fire rescue procedures and filling air tanks.
The meetings usually run two hours, though the Explorers drill longer in colder weather, as the gear and heavy equipment can become oppressive in the hotter months.
For many, serving in the fire department is part of a familiar tradition, wearing the uniform and serving the community as their parents and other relatives have done. Angelo Sposta, advisor to the Post, noted that many of the current volunteer firefighters such as himself are legacies, with his father and grandfather having served the village. Nielsen has been a volunteer firefighter for 30 years and was chief from 2007-2008, while his father was a firefighter and his 15-year-old son is a member of the Explorer Post.
Although many of the current Explorers do not have a family legacy tied to the department, the skills gained from the program and sense of civic pride they carry with them in all endeavors makes the Explorer Post worthy of accolades.
"We have about 20 kids from [Port Chester] High School coming through this program," said Nielsen. "They get a community service credit from the school, but after a while the credit becomes a second thought."
"I never regret having joined Post 700," said Hernandez-Gomez. "I see it as a great way to give back to our community and I strongly believe being part of a group like Post 700 helps build character."

'The Amazing Race' will be back gracing the TV screen in the fall season and audition has been run.
CBS aim to prolong their Emmy Award-wining series "The Amazing Race" for one more season. Through their Twitter, the network announced that there will be the 15th leg of the race around the world for broadcast in 2009-2010 season.
Auditions for the new season have been opened and the requirements can been seen at CBS.com. Host Phil Keoghan will appear at the open casting calls during his bike ride across America which will end in NYC on May 9.

In the casting call, pairs will tape a video about two minutes long, describing why they are worthy to be picked. Before that, they are also required to fill in a 13-page form that will help better understanding the hopefuls. Among the questions are "Do you have any phobias?" and "What is your opinion about foreigners?"
With five teams left, the current season of "Amazing Race" will wind down on May 10. The show has been averaging 10.9 million viewers each week.

Statement on the 2009 Budget
mr. spratt: i yield a minute to the distinguished majority leader, mr. hoyer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland, the majority leader, is recognized. mr. hoyer: i always think my friend from arizona is so rational and i thought he was today. i always appreciate his remarks. it is a shame that together we have not reached what i think we need to reach whether it's on entitlements, which are obviously an extraordinary challenge, or on discretionary spending, or on taxes. on revenues, on paying for what we buy. the flower strewn path unpricked by reason. 19 years republican presidents during my term of -- in the congress of the united states, have presided. the one person in the united states of america that can stop spending in its tracks. the only person. 19 years of republican presidents, $4.13 trillion of deficit spending. $1.68 trillion of that has been in the last six years. eight years under bill clinton. $62.9 billion surplus. that's the 27 years that i have been in the congress of the united states. now, you can attribute that to all sorts of things, but i attribute it to the fact that democrats have taken the position we ought to pay for what we buy. we ought to have responsible budgets. the republicans have not passed a budget except for once in an election year. if we pass this one, i surely i hope we will, it will be a precedent. mr. speaker, i want to congratulate the chairman of the budget committee, john spratt, also want to congratulate the ranking member who i don't see on the floor but who is a responsible member of this body. i disagree with him on some things, but he engages the debate in a responsible way. i want to thank the members of the blue dog coalition as well for their work. patience and commitment to passing this budget conference report. this is the first budget adopted in an election year since 2000. the last time we were before this administration. and it is a signal accomplishment of this congress and a demonstration of our ability to govern effectively. this conference report is a continuation of the democratic majority's effort to turn away from this administration's failed policies. in fact, the most reckless fiscal policies in the history of our nation. as the father of three grandchildren and as the grandfather of a great grandchild, i am extraordinarily concerned about that. we have two young women sitting next to my colleague and friend, congressman rogers, don't know whether they are grandchildren. they are grandchildren. we have put those young children who sit here, these beautiful young women, deeply into debt. this budget is about keeping them out of further debt. let's remember president bush and the former republican majorities in congress turned a projected surplus of $5.6 trillion -- was that a real surplus? it was not. it was a projection for 10 years. noble knows what's going to happen in 10 years. but it was a projected surplus of $5.6 trillion on which the bush administration relied. and in reliance on it did some things that were extraordinarily irresponsible. and we are now more than $3 trillion in additional debt in just six years. now, we are -- we went from $5.9 trillion of debt to now a $9.8 trillion. almost $4 trillion which is to say an 80% in-- increase in the indebtedness of this nation in 84 months. while the republicans enjoyed six years of hegemony. total, absolute control. yet some of our republican friends complain, audaciously so, that this budget conference report includes an increase in the debt limit. how soon they forget. they forget or more accurately they deliberately ignore they encrease the debt limit four times in five years. under bill clinton's presidency during his last four years, the debt was increased not once. not once. the debt limit increase included ...

About the Book
Kaleidoscope is the basic image that comes to mind when I try to describe what my work is trying to do. It is a child's toy, but is it?
To me, the world is a 'Cosmic Kaleidoscope' with no clear demarcations between past and future, trivial and significant, magnificent and grotesque, glorious and tragic. At any given moment in time I matter or I don't, and even that doesn't seem to be very relevant. We are all like the images in the lens of a kaleidoscope… intricate, beautiful, delicate, and fleeting.
My work is my attempt to understand this mysterious, magical world that we all share. When it becomes too unfathomable for me to deal with I try to scale it down like a minimalist until it is of a size I can manage on a canvas or in a poem. For those things that I find silly or trivial, I try to grace them with a grandeur they, heretofore, have not known. For the pompous and grandiose I try to add a bit of humour.
Perhaps I find that feelings are the only reality. I say perhaps because I can get very involved in the importance of 'tea cups' also. But even with tea cups I try to make that Cosmic Connection… because when you want a cup of tea they are quite essential. I have always been deeply fascinated with the world we live on, and that greater world out beyond the stars. I use celestial references wherever I can, and try to pull together those things from my everyday life with the mysteries of ALL life… my artistic String Theory.
There are many 'voices' in my work, for often when I write or paint I feel that I am speaking through many different ears and in many different tongues from both the past and the future. We are all the mélange of a vast chain of different cultures, disparate philosophies, histories and languages, many of which seemed to have at various times and in various places touched and overlapped. And they are all valid, unique, and beautiful. I respond to them all without judgment. I am very moved by color and kinetic images, both visual and verbal, and I want to pull you into my work. Art should engage you, move you and make you think. I have tried to do that on canvas and in print. I like to think of myself as a visual philosopher. I see similarities between Colombian Indian culture and Ancient Egyptian art and culture. The Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs brought beautiful art to the world, and I feel there are similarities to those of the ancient eastern Mediterranean cultures and I sometimes like to play with that notion. I want my work to make you think about what we are and where we are, and what it all means. Often the 'persona' of one of my poems or one of my paintings is like a Greek Chorus echoing in unison. Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage," and it is upon this stage that we all must find our relevance – we must perform. We are ephemeral but we are significant. And it is wonderful.

I'm a little sad that Keri beat me to the punch because if we recall, you did win an awesome Robert's contest! Everytime I walk in and see a poster for a contest I giggle inside thinking of you and your "awesome" and "totally in style" prizes! That was a good laugh! But, seriously, congrats on the contest! I will definitely check it out! I hope you know how amazingly talented you are! I love that you are so excited about it because that means you're not arrogant and really weren't expecting anything to come of it! You're the greatest...I want to be just like you one day!:)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/10/2013 (1407 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Selinger government ignored the advice of its own taxation experts when it raised the provincial sales tax July 1, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says.
CTF Prairie director Colin Craig said the documents, obtained through a freedom of information request, suggest the government didn't follow proper legal and legislative procedures before raising the sales tax by one point to eight per cent.
Craig said that in a Feb. 4, 2013 briefing note on raising the PST, the Manitoba government's director of taxation advised the province must either hold a referendum or pass legislation to make it legal.
"I think it's pretty clear from the documents that senior staff felt that legislation had to be passed first," Craig said. "You've got the director of taxation who's been there years and years. This wasn't some intern putting this document together on the back of a napkin."
Finance Minister Stan Struthers said the document Craig released pertains more to a discussion within government over the proposed tax hike, nothing more.
"We get a range of options from Finance officials," he said. "We get options from other departments. We get options from our legal experts who we pay very close attention to in terms of moving forward with an item like this.
"Our legal experts have assured us we have the authority to move forward on this."
The document was prepared by Kristine Seier, assistant director at Manitoba Finance and Richard Goern, a director at the province's taxation analysis branch. The documents are found at www.taxpayer.com/news-releases.
Specifically, they advised on Feb. 4, 2013: "An increased sales tax rate would require either a referendum under the Balanced Budget Act or a notwithstanding clause overriding the referendum requirement, which would require committee hearings into the amendment. The referendum must be held, or the notwithstanding clause enacted, before a rate increase could take effect. A notwithstanding clause enacted during the normal legislative agenda could receive royal assent as early as June of 2013 as part of the Budget Implementation and Tax Statutes Amendment Act (BITSA), which means the rate increase could take effect July 1... "
Craig also said unnecessarily blacked-out information in the document suggests the government may have considered increasing the PST higher than eight per cent.
Bill 20, the legislation that waives the referendum requirement and raises the PST, has not yet passed. The bill is to come up for a vote in the legislative assembly after the house reconvenes Nov. 12.
The Opposition Progressive Conservatives have said they will challenge the tax increase in court once Bill 20 is passed.
Progressive Conservative finance critic Myrna Driedger said the documents also show how secretive the government is because large portions are blacked out.
She also said the Tories asked for the same information in its own FOI request, but was denied.
"There's like a big bubble of secrecy around what they're doing these days, and we have huge concerns about the lack of transparency," Driedger said.
Craig also said the CTF is calling on the government to immediately reverse the sales tax increase, refund the money and cut its "wasteful spending" instead.

The voice on the tape sounds disturbed: "I'm a 68-year-old man with a heart condition, why are you doing this to me?" Kenneth Chamberlain snr fought in the Vietnam war, as a marine. He was a retired prison warder, well accustomed to law enforcement. But in the early hours of November 19 last year, as police officers refused to leave his doorstep, he began to fear for his life.
"This is my sworn testimony," he can be heard saying. "White Plains police are going to come into my house and kill me." A few minutes later, they broke down his door and proved him right.
The shooting of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida has become a hugely divisive news story in the US, prompting outrage, then backlash. Now that George Zimmerman has been charged with murder, a court will decide whether he acted in self-defence, in what promises to be one of the most politicised, racially sensitive trials since O.J. Simpson's.
Meanwhile, the Chamberlain case, in many ways more shocking, has gone largely unreported. A grand jury is meeting in New York state to determine whether Officer Anthony Carelli should be charged in connection with the killing. That he pulled the trigger is not in dispute. Police say Chamberlain had a knife and a hand axe and was about to stab an officer when he was shot.
The hearing is closed to the public, but the key evidence is known: two video tapes and an audio recording lasting almost an hour that document the confrontation, although crucially not the moment Chamberlain was shot. His family's lawyers hope the tapes will be released. "When you see that tape, hear the footage and consider your own parents confused and in distress, unwilling to let someone in, it causes great concern," says attorney Mayo Bartlett.
Chamberlain suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Neighbours say he sometimes screamed at night and threatened to kill himself. Officers were called to his flat in a council housing block when his LifeAid pendant sounded an alert and operators in a call centre were unable to rouse him. Most likely he activated the device, designed as an emergency lifeline for the elderly and infirm, in his sleep. From that point on, a box on the living room table, connected to the phone, recorded everything it heard.
"You can hear the police coming to the door and asking to speak with Mr Chamberlain," says Mr Bartlett. "He tells them he's OK. Everyone seems to be calm." But once he refuses to let them in, officers bang repeatedly on the steel door and Chamberlain becomes agitated. "Open the door, Kenny, I need to take a piss," says one policeman. "Go find a bathroom," he replies. "I don't want to let you into my house. I didn't do anything wrong."
An offer to help, from Chamberlain's niece, is declined. "Sir, please leave me alone. I'm a sick old man," Chamberlain says. "We don't give a f---, n---er," replies a cop. Soon after, video mounted on a Taser stun gun and CCTV in the housing block show police breaking the door off its hinges.
In the Taser video, as recounted by Mr Bartlett, Chamberlain is standing well back, in his boxer shorts, apparently unarmed, with his hands down. Without a warning or command, the stun gun fires two prongs, but one misses. "Shut it off," says a voice, and the tape ends. Police say they then shot four rounds from a bean bag gun, before using live ammunition as a last, defensive resort. An autopsy showed that the bullet that killed Chamberlain entered his body through his arm, held at his side.
Mr Carelli's lawyers have refused all requests for comment, but did issue a statement: "We trust that the criminal justice system is governed by laws and not agendas." Mr Carelli is facing a separate civil suit, launched by two Jordanian brothers who claim that after arresting them, he placed bags over their heads, called them "ragheads" and beat them while they were handcuffed. He denies any wrongdoing.
Ken Chamberlain jnr carries his father's marines ring and veteran's ID card everywhere. "On the tape, that was the very first time I ever heard my father pleading, begging for his life," he says.
"He was proud to be a marine and you hear the police officers making fun of that. He says 'I won't let you in. Semper Fi [US Marines motto: always loyal].' So they reply 'oh, you're a marine, hoo-rah, hoo-rah.'"
He was buried with full military honours. ''Instead of celebrating his life I fight to get justice for his murder,'' his son says.

Memphis, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Conley had 21 points and 13 assists and the Memphis Grizzlies held off the Atlanta Hawks 108-101 on Sunday.
Zach Randolph registered 18 points and 12 rebounds, while Courtney Lee and Mike Miller both netted 15 points for the Grizzlies, who have won three of their last four games.
"We're starting to play better as a unit, which obviously breed confidence," Miller said. "We're starting to win games like that, which helps. Right now, we're plugging away and getting better."
Paul Millsap supplied 21 points, six boards and six assists, while Jeff Teague tallied 20 points and five helpers for Atlanta, which has lost four of its last six games.
Atlanta trailed by three, 93-90, with just under six minutes to play, but the Grizzlies answered with a 9-2 swing capped by two free throws from Conley to grab a 102-92 lead with 2:46 to play.
The Hawks got within five on Millsap's 3-pointer with 21.6 seconds left, but Randolph went 4-of-4 from the charity stripe to seal the outcome.
"Our guys competed," Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer said. "We just need to do that for longer and harder. It wasn't our sharpest night."
Memphis led 77-64 late in the third quarter, but the Hawks scored the game's next 16 points, capped by back-to-back triples from DeMarre Carroll that gave the visitors an 80-77 edge early in the fourth.
However, Conley capped a 10-2 Memphis swing with a pull-up jumper to give the Grizzlies an 89-84 lead with 7 1/2 minutes remaining.
Neither team created much separation in the early going until Memphis closed the second quarter on an 8-2 swing to take a 48-41 lead into halftime.
Teague's jumper with just over four minutes left in the third found the Hawks within 67-64, but Memphis reeled off 10 straight points to push the margin to 13 with just under two minutes left in the third.
Game Notes
Memphis scored 25 points off 15 Atlanta turnovers ... Atlanta's Kyle Korver went 1-of-2 from 3-point range and has hit a 3 in an NBA-record 107 straight games ... The Hawks fell to 6-13 on the road this season ... Carroll finished with 15 points.

Special Report: Measuring the Economic Impact of Affordable Housing in Rhode Island
Published on May 19, 2010
Historically, the value and positive impact of affordable homes have been measured by the social benefits they provide – such as fostering stable and prosperous communities, providing shelter security to Rhode Island's working families, stabilizing blighted neighborhoods, and preventing or mitigating chronic homelessness. General assumptions about the economic benefit these homes provide to the state have been made but not measured in Rhode Island.
A Special Report just released by HousingWorks RI highlights the results of a first-of-its-kind study quantifying the economic impact of Rhode Island's housing bond dollars and their deployment through the Building Homes Rhode Island program. In the Special Report, you will find quantitative evidence that the building of affordable homes in Rhode Island is producing a high return on investment, despite our current economic climate.

Panel pushes for arts center at Seton Hill
Greensburg's planning commission on Monday approved plans for a new Seton Hill University Dance and Visual Arts Center.
In a 4-1 vote, the advisory panel recommended that city council approve the site and land development plans for the center.
Council is expected to vote on the proposal during its May 13 meeting.
Commission members Jeff Anzovino, Anita Simpson, George Smith and Brian Lawrence endorsed the plans, which call for the center to be constructed at the intersection of West Otterman Street and College Avenue. Karen Hutchinson voted no.
"I think it's a bad intersection and bad planning on how it fits in that parcel of property," Hutchinson said later.
She said she further opposed the plans because Seton Hill won't have to pay taxes on the building as a nonprofit.
In January, the commission tabled a vote on the project to allow university officials time to answer questions commission members raised during that meeting. Seton Hill then requested delays in the review.
Those approving the plans on Monday set the conditions that the center receive approvals from PennDOT for a highway occupancy permit and the state Department of Environmental Protection for sewage planning modules.
The 46,000-square-foot center will be placed on 0.86 acres of land.
The facility would include three dance studios, one of which will be a semi-performance space seating about 50 people. Two practice studios that will be used by 10 to 25 students are planned.
The two-story building is to have two galleries, including a formal one, and classrooms.
The center will have a permitted occupancy of up to 835 people, architect Gary Balog said, answering a question the commission asked in January.
The average daily occupancy will range from 50 to 350 people, he said. Evening performances could bring 100 to 150 more people to the center, Balog said.
Students will come to the center via a university-operated shuttle or by foot.
The facility has six parking spaces to the rear and will mostly depend on city parking garages or lots, or on downtown spaces.
A student drop-off area in front of the building and directly off West Otterman Street has been increased in size to accommodate concerns expressed by the planning commission, Balog said.
That area will accommodate the largest vehicles expected to be there, the architect added.
In January, Seton Hill officials said they hoped to begin using the building in late summer 2014.
Data shows Seton Hill's move into the city's downtown has helped the university and Greensburg, Mary Ann Gawelek, university provost, told the planning commission.
Seton Hill opened the university's arts center at West Otterman and Harrison Avenue in 2009.

How many players do Burnley need to sign this month, and in what positions?
I THINK that quality players will now want to come to Turf Moor given the position we are in, in the Championship table.
After all, they could have a massive opportunity of playing in the Premier League, whether that be on loan or in a permanent move.
But I'm still to see this Clarets board show me that they have the ambition to get to the promised land again.
Hopefully I'm wrong and they sign a different type of player – a couple of skilful wimgers who can create even more chances for our strikers.
WE need a couple of strikers. We definitely need someone who can hold the ball up because if Sam Vokes gets injured we're struggling.
Someone like Lukas Jutkiewicz would be perfect.
Then maybe someone like Martyn Waghorn with a bit of pace. I know a Halifax fan who says they have a forward called Lee Gregory who's really good, so maybe we could take a gamble on someone like that who isn't on big wages.
We could do with a bit more quality on the wings too, the people we have are capable of it but they're a bit hit and miss. Perhaps that depends on when Ross Wallace will be back.
WE definitely need a striker as back-up and to keep Sam Vokes on his toes.
All the talk is of Ashley Barnes. I would welcome that signing but only to strengthen the squad, not as a replacement for Danny Ings.
We could really do with back-up in most positions but that isn't going to happen.
It's imperative that we don't sell any of our main players or our season could be ruined.

BWW Reviews: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM (Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company)
Although outside it still feels like winter in West Michigan, inside the Dog Story Theatre, it is midsummer!
The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company has created a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that is sparkling with vitality and physical energy. In Shakespeare's classic tale of love gone awry, two sets of Athenian lovers flee into the surrounding forests, in an attempt to escape the Duke's law, which will keep them apart. The interference of a well-meaning albeit mischievous fairy, Puck, causes the lovers' passions to be switched to the wrong person. Likewise, the fairy queen, also anointed with the love spell, falls madly in love with a blundering weaver, also in the forest with a band of misfit mechanicals-turned-actors, preparing a play for the Duke's wedding day, who has been given the monstrous head of a donkey by Puck. After many shenanigans and much outrage on the part of the mismatched pairs, the fairy king commands that all be set aright, and the couples are wed along with the Duke and his bride, and the play-within-a-play for which Shakespeare was so brilliant at constructing, is performed, to the merriment and mirth of all.
The performance of live music by the actors keeps the show feeling fresh and lively and contributes to the overall vibrancy of the show, as does the audience interaction. The traditional practices for which Pigeon Creek is known are employed, including universal lighting on a thrust stage, minimal set, cross-gendered casting, and doubling of roles, which keeps the actors on their toes and makes for a unique theatrical experience. Prior to the performance, there was a celebration of William Shakespeare's 450th birthday, which involved a Shakespeare trivia game and tasty treats as prizes for the winners.
WITH: Steven Anderson (Egeus/Peter Quince), Kathleen Bode (Nick Bottom), Antonio Copeland (Lysander), Kimi Griggs (Hermia), Amanda Heeren (Snug/Fairy), Janelle Mahlmann (Titania /Theseus), Chad Marriott (Francis Flute/Fairy), Kristen Ripley (Snout/Fairy), Janna Rosenkranz (Robin Starveling/Fairy), Sarah Stark (Helena), Brad Sytsma (Demetrius), Kate Tubbs (Puck/Philostrate), Kyle Westmaas (Oberon/Hippolyta)
Upcoming performances by Pigeon Creek include The Merry Wives of Windsor, which will be performed at The Rose Playhouse, as part of Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lakes, Michigan, on May 31. The summer traveling production of Coriolanus will be taking place June 19-21 and June 26-28 at 8:00 p.m., June 22 and 29 at 3:00 p.m. at Dog Story Theater 7 Jefferson SE Grand Rapids, MI Tickets are $14 for adults, $7 for students and seniors.

Do we really need to go back to the 1920s? Edit
I really doubt that we should be concerned about what happened with computers in the 1920s - 1960s. Granted, Wookiepedia has a timeline reaching back to like 2,000,000 years before the battle of Yavin, but I really think we should be that concerned about the past. I say let's remove everything from the 1920s to 1960s and leave everything else.
Also, we need to get out facts straight about what happened and when. I asked DaveTRON if he would know what year Tron would have taken place and he said because the film was shot in '81 he believes that the storyline in Tron takes place in '81. And that's good enough for me, due to the fact that DaveTRON is good friends with Steven Lisberger.
--Mr. Sinistar 05:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. While the history of computers is definitely related to Tron as far as subject matter goes, it does not relate in terms of story. With Star Wars, the creation of the galaxy it takes place in is an important part of the timeline since the Star Wars galaxy is not real, and, as such, the creation of its galaxy is an important part of the story canon. With Tron however, the creation of the first computer, while it could be considered the first instance of a computer world, should not be included since it is a real event that actually happened that has not been officially directly linked to any canonical elements.
If Dillenger Jr. were to whip out a massive 1920's computer mainframe in Tron 3, then by all means, bring back the 1920's section and include details on that computer.
TRON.dll 14:11, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Check the dates. That conversation has been and gone. :D -- WarBlade 20:14, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
Allow Me to Help Clean UP Edit
The lack of TLC given to keeping the timeline facts straight on this site seriously surprise me. Ive spent countless hours trying to match facts up with dates and im constantly coming across various contrdictions.
insted of listing the screw ups, im going to make a few points on things i believe tend to have the most confusion and let everyone else discuss their opinions and maybe we can start cleaning up things around here:
- First things first: Tron Evolution(PS3/X360/PC) takes place in 1989. After all, it is the events that led to Kevin Flynns disappearance, which plenty of sources by now have helped us confirm happened in 89, dont see how the game could take place in any other year
- Second: Kevin Flynn discovered the ISO's in 1984. the afformentioned games opening cinematic claims that he discovered the ISO's 5 years ago. So if you agree that the game takes place in 1989, then this fact places the discovery of the ISO's in 1984
- Third: The PSP version of Tron Evolution takes place in 1985. It clearly states this in its opening cinematic
- Fourth: Tron Evolution Battle Grids(Wii) takes place either in 1988 or 1989. An interview with its game designers that ive seen on youtube confirm this
The big source i see contradicting this is the timeline photo thats on the Tron timeline page
Also i think somthing should be done regarding the lack of info for the PSP and DS versions of Evolution(moreso the DS version)
Believe me, if i had the money, i would go out and buy all these games, play them and post the info myself. But since i cant im gonna need some assitance cleaning up some of the timeline muck. Im not calling anyone stupid for the mistakes made so far. im giving the benifit of a doubt that perhaps you had unreliable sources.
Thank You —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richie Shemberger (talk • contribs)
- I've mostly been sticking to the official movie site for timeline sources. I've never played the games. A couple of points to add, just make sure that when you have details like "5 years ago" that these are real world years and not perceived years in the Tron System, and also you'll find that data will 'stick' better if it is sourced If not then that image is likely to cause a few revert wars. -- WarBlade 06:11, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Well it appears to me that this timeline at its website doesnt observe any of the video games or Betrayal. however that doesnt mean im not going to consider them canon. And about the "5 years ago thing", right before claiming he discovered the ISO's 5 years ago, he says he first entered the grid 7 years ago. if this were in human years, 7 years before 1989 is 1982, so he was refering to the events in the original tron film. so i presume his the whole of his statments was being described in human years. And also, In case you didnt notice, i said exactly where i found the proof of all my above statements so im not sure why you felt the need to tell me about sourcing your info(no offence intended, i was just wondering)
- Richie Shemberger 21:44, October 11, 2011 (UTC)Richie Shemberger
- Betrayal and the games are only canon in a broader sense. Strictly speaking, the only true canon in relation to the movies, are the movies themselves. Sourcing statements means adding them to a reference list that we can tie into the bottom of the article. -- WarBlade 23:46, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Ill be more then willing to source my statements if you can show me how to do it. Also can you explain in more detail what you mean by "in a broader sense" Richie Shemberger 20:20, October 12, 2011 (UTC)Richie Shemberger
- There are inconsistencies with those other additions to the franchise where they deviate from the movie canon. -- WarBlade 00:28, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Can you give me an example? Richie Shemberger 01:11, October 13, 2011 (UTC)Richie Shemberger
- A number of people believe Ophelia and Radia to be the same character and neither are acknowledged by the movie, the ISOs first seen emerging from the Sea of Simulation or arriving overland (depending on which story). There are more, but these are the ones I recall at the moment. Basically just niggling details that aren't kept consistent from one release to the next. -- WarBlade 02:38, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
- To go back on something you were talking about earlier, im not so sure that timeline at disney.com is the best source to be going by. lots of details established in the movies contradict what is said in the timeline(E.G. In Tron(1982) Kevin claims that he invented all the games 3 years ago, whilst disney.coms timeline says he was hired by encom 2 years ago. considering how the site for it is just disney.coms section for tron in comparison to all the sites run by Flynn Lives, its likely theyre timeline could be a rather porley filtered source for info Richie Shemberger 21:58, October 16, 2011 (UTC)Richie Shemberger
Can't find source for Ophelia's death date as listed here Edit
Can anybody point me to the source in TRON: Betrayal for Ophelia's date of death? Even if she wasn't confirmed to be Radia (who died in 1989 when Flynn disappeared), Ophelia survives to the end of the graphic novel and I don't see any other information about her fate in my copy. Suggesting the reference to her death in 1988 be removed. Infiniteviking (talk) 20:04, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

Adam Epstein was honored as a Stamps Distinguished Visitor during the 2004-2005 season at the University of Miami Frost School of Music for his talent in musical theatre. At the young age of 28, Epstein won the 2003 Tony Award for the smash hit musical Hairspray. In addition, Hairspray was named Best Musical of 2003 by the Drama Desk, the Outer Critics Circle, the Drama League, and the New York Drama Critics Circle. Hairspray also won seven Tonys, including awards for Best Score, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Direction.
A Miami Beach native, Epstein was drawn to musical theatre from a young age. He acted in productions of Broadway Bound, Jesus Christ Superstar and the The Wiz, and often attended productions at Miami Beach's Jackie Gleason Theatre of the Performing Arts with family and friends. He remembers Sandy Duncan flying across the stage in Peter Pan as a defining moment, one that first got him interested in pursuing a career in the theatre.
When Epstein graduated from high school, he attended New York University. Unsure about his future as an actor, he earned a degree in political science, but gravitated back toward the theatre.
In recent years, additional credits have included Broadway revivals of The Crucible (Tony nomination), Amadeus (Tony nomination), and the Tony Award-winning revival of A View From the Bridge. Epstein also co-produced the Boston production of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and is excited about his upcoming musical, Cry-Baby, another collaboration with filmmaker John Waters (Hairspray). He was invited to be a guest professor in the spring of 2004 at New York University, his alma mater, where he will teach a course on producing musicals for the commercial Broadway theatre.

The Texas Rangers announced today that Hickory Crawdads RHP Cody Kendall has been promoted to the High-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans, becoming the sixth 'Dad this season and the third in the last week to move up in the Rangers organization.
Kendall, 24, leaves Hickory after leading the team in ERA (1.02), wins (7), and saves (7), while also posting a .213 batting average against and a 42/15 strikeout/walk ratio. An 8th round selection by the Rangers in 2012 out of Fresno State University, Kendall was one of three Crawdads named to the 2014 South Atlantic League All-Star Game in Hickory, where the right-hander threw a perfect inning of relief. Kendall also spent time with the 'Dads in 2013, going 2-2 with a 3.42 ERA and seven saves over 25 relief appearances.
With only 23 active players on the roster following Kendall's departure, right-handed pitchers David Ledbetter and Patrick Kaminska have both been added to the Crawdads from the Arizona League. Ledbetter, 22, pitched for the Crawdads previously this year, going 1-4 with an 8.26 ERA over seven starts totaling 28.1 innings pitched. A 3rd round selection by the Rangers in the 2013 Draft, Ledbetter didn't allow a run over four appearances and 12.2 IP while pitching in the AZL. Kaminska, 23, also posted a spotless ERA in the AZL, with 10.1 total scoreless frames during six relief appearances. The Rangers signed Kaminska as a non-drafted free agent last month out of Central Michigan University.
Kendall is the third Crawdad to be sent to Myrtle Beach this week, joining RHP Kevin Pucetas and OF Lewis Brinson. The trio joins fellow 2014 'Dads alumni Nick Vickerson, Abel De Los Santos, and Kevin Torres on the Pelicans roster.

United States - Bridge To Smaller movies
Of the films he produced in the decade after leaving his job as president of production at Universal Pictures in 1996, Hal Lieberman is most closely associated with two super-expensive, independently financed megapictures - Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Around The World In 80 Days. These days, however, Lieberman and his two-year-old The Hal Lieberman Company, are happier occupying a more modestly-budgeted niche.

|Me and Jamie - MISSION COMPLETE!
The race itself was tough!
The loop up and around the mountain was not the 5 km they advertised. Approximately half way through someone running nearby revealed that the loop was actually 6.5 km to fit in all 13 obstacles. And the first 2.5 km were the absolute WORST in my books.It was all straight uphill! Straight up a ski hill to be exact.
|The evil hill!
I can run hills, but I need some sort of reprieve to be able to stabilize my heart rate. And for this hill - there was NO REPRIEVE! It was just incline all the way to the top.
To be perfectly honest; I walked the majority of the hill, and I was feeling pretty down while doing it. My cardio training and endurance have not returned to my ideal level yet. Thus, making it that much more difficult to manage my heart rate. So I was feeling discouraged while struggling up that damn mountain.
I felt slow and out of shape. And despite my best attempts to have no expectations - I wanted to be able to do better. Jamie had to give me a hug and remind me to smile and have fun part way through - which tells me my dismay must have been written all over my face.
Once we got to the top, things started to turn around, and I ended up having a lot of fun. Jamie, Allie, and I settled in as a little trio and we ran the whole race together. We were laughing, cracking jokes, slipping in the mud, trying to scale walls, and navigate the crazy trails. Allie would scream "I am Katniss Everdean" whenever an obstacle intimated her, and I immediately erupted into fits of giggles. We just ended up having a silly, muddy, good time.
The obstacles were tough, but definitely added some excitement into the mix
(a regular 5 km will never be the same again after this)
I expected to struggle with a lot of the climbing features, since those are somewhat "chest" heavy exercises. And admittedly it was hard on the boobies. I think I only made it to the second rung of the monkey bars before I plunged in the pit of freezing cold water. And the Ta-tas are looking a little bruised an battered today. But all in all it was okay. I was able to do all of the obstacles. Some not very well - like the monkey bars. And some with a few necessary boosts from Jamie - like the Wall and Lifeline. But it felt good to cross the finish line and say that I did it.
Our little trio crossed the finish line at 1 hour, 14 min, and a few second for good measure. Which well exceeded my expectations. Allie and I said part way through that we would aim for an 1:30, so when we turned the final corner at 1:13 we were so excited. We ran towards to giant slip and slide, dove under the barb wire, and crossed the finish line!
|Done and still laughing my little Katniss
It was AMAZING!
|Part of Team INSANE PAIN!
And our team of 9 - "Insane Pain" - ended up placing 4th in the team division! Which I would love to say I could take some credit for, but it was really the guys on our team that blasted ahead with record pace that helped lower our time average to 64 minutes. But I was super excited with our results none the less.
As hard as this race was. And as difficult as it was to battle those obstacles with my recovering body. This past year was 1000x harder. I feel like I have been battling my body for so long, that I almost can't imagine what it is going to be like to be healthy again. It has been a dark year - full of lots of ups and downs, stress, and tears.
|Showered and Celebrating
Crossing the finish line together at Met Con Blue was really special, and it nothing to do with finishing the race. It meant that we made it! We survived the last year. We survived BRCA. We survived toasting the ta-tas. We made it through the last 12 weeks of recovery. That battle is over, and we did this together!
So much has happened in the last 16 months, it is almost hard to believe that I am standing here and out the other side. BRCA has spent the last year and half rocking my world, but I am pretty sure I just finished kicking it's ass!
It is time to move on to BIGGER and BETTER things.
So genetics, remember what happened to your friend BRCA, and be warned!
Because I am back!
And I am about to spend the next year making your life hell!
Marathon Glory I am coming for you.
Let's do this!
Love Your Favourite Darwinian Fail,

If the earth should suffer an apocalypse on the first day of a new century, can you say what the chances are that it will happen on a Sunday?
Feel free to enter you answer below in the comments section; will reveal submissions before the week is over.
(some new clues are up for Rock Star Rebus)
The chances are zero.
The first day of a new century is 01/01/xx01. A quick check at an online date calculator shows that these dates cycle between Monday (2001), Saturday, Thursday, and Tuesday respectively.
For the few left on the planet who will insist that the century starts on 01/01/xx00, it can be shown that this date will also never be a Sunday, cycling between Saturday, Friday, Wednesday, and Monday.
you might think the answer would be 1/7. But that's why they call em' brain teasers.
Actually the turn of a century never happens on a Sunday. There's a 25% chance that it will be on a Saturday, Friday, Wednesday or Monday.
It's a repetitive cyle happening every 400 years. For instance, 1/1/2000 was on a Saturday. 1/1/2100 will be on a Friday. 1/1/2200 will be on a Wednesday. 1/1/2300 will be on a Monday. 1/1/2400 will be on a Saturday again and the cycle repeats.
By the time, oh say 1/1/2200 rolls around, we'll probably be on star dates like Star Trek by then, and the whole concept of days and years will be reinvented. If we haven't blowed ourselves up with a bunch of nuclear weapons by that time.
There's a lot of things to worry about in today's times, but by golly, we don't have to worry about the world ending on a Sunday at the turn of the century.
Zero percent chance.
Due to the number of days in a century (36524 or 36525) – as well as the rules for leap years – the days that the first day of a century would only be on Saturdays, Fridays, Wednesdays or Mondays.
The chances are 0% that it will happen on a Sunday or Wednesday or Friday. The Gregorian Calendar repeats every 400 years.
based on experience, it always was on a Monday :-D
or I´ll put it like this: god created the world in 6 days, starting on Monday, and had a rest on the 7th, Sunday.
So the last apocalypse might have been beetween Sunday and Monday, because without a pre-apocalypse, god had not had a need at all to create a new one.
yes, I know, I´ve missed the point, again…
I guess, Suineg, got it in a snap.
According to Julian calendar, there were 24 leap years in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which consisted of 36524 days. There were 25 leap years in 20th century as year 2000 was leap year and thus 20th century had 36525 days. From now onwards this cycle will keep repeating itself.
First day of 21st century, 01/01/2001 was Monday. For 3 centuries the first day will shift 5 days and the fourth century will shift 6 days.
Then: 22nd century-Saturday; 23rd-Thursday; 24th-Tuesday; 25th-Monday again
There will never be a first day of century on a Sunday (unless days are added or deleted from calendar, as it happened in october 1582)
RK, I have a question, the problem say the first day of a new century, it mean any new century (2100; 2200 ; 2300; to infinity) like a geometric progression???
0% – Centuries never start on a Sunday
Hi Suineg,
yes, I belive it means any new centure. thanks, RK
Ok, let me try it:
you have 25 leap years by century, by a milleniun you have 250 leap years, the leap years have 366 days.
the first day of 2008 was a tuesday.
the week has 7 days.
this century has 23 leap years remaining, including 2008
Logic(I guess):
+ 1 century:
23*366+ 69*365= 8418 + 25185 = 33603= 33600 + 3 = tuesday + 3= friday
+ 2 century:
25*366 + 75*365 = 9150 + 27375 = 36525= 36519 + 6 –> friday + 6 = thursday
Now for every new century you have a + 6 days to change the days of the next century so first days of the centuries of this millenium are:
friday; thursday; wednesday; tuesday; monday; sunday; saturday; friday; thursday ;wednesday
the chances for this millenium are 1/10
next millenium:
saturday; friday;thursday;wednesday;tuesday; monday;sunday;saturday;friday;thursday
jajaja this is hard; but there is a pattern; every millenium starts three days before the previous millenium;
and the probability is 2/10 if sunday is in the first 3 days of the millenium otherwise is 1/10 so: 1000: sunday 2,9; 2000: sunday 6, 3000: sunday 3,10; 4000: sunday 7;
5000: sunday 4; 6000: sunday 1,8; 7000: sunday 5; 8000; sunday 2,9; 9000: sunday 6; 10000: sunday 3,10
take the first 8 terms of the series:
2/10 (3) ; 1/10 (5) –> now a ponderate rate;
11/10/8; 11/80 this I think is the probability wow what a hard work to a "probably" big mistake jajajaja but cool.
WOW MAYBE I AM FAMILY OF NOSTRADAMUS: "A PROBABLY BIG MISTAKE JAJAJA". ok however can someone please tell me what is wrong with my reasoning, cause i could not see my error in it.
suineg, I believe you forgot about the leap years that occur every 400 years. Which might cause some problems in that heap of calculations. I could be wrong though, since I didn't look at your work very thoroughly.
thanks MattHogan, that might be it, because I thought that leap years occur every 4 years without any interruption, the series I propose counts like that, but it seems to be irregularities in the positions of days, jumping some days( sunday included),I think that might because the leap years dont occur every 4 years or because it also occur on some other irregular times like every 400 years; however 4*100= 400 seems like included in my reasoning but maybe its not, cool.
I notice some folks, (actually the majority I think), got their start of the century as 1/1/XX01. So I'd guess you'd probably be right, but just me thinking about it, I'd think it's like 12AM, and 12 PM. at 11:59PM you're still in PM, but when the clock strikes 12:00 you're in AM. Same logic with the century deal.
Can someone else explain the difference logic for the XX01 being the turn of the century?
Ah, nevermind.
I researched it on wiki. There was no year 0, only 1 BC, and then 1 AD. So the first century was 1AD – 100AD, and so forth.
Maybe there was no 12:00 minute on the first day.
MattHogan gave me a good explanation of what could be wrong, however I review my calculations and I think I took that in consideration, I know something is wrong for the cycling every 400 years, however can someone please tell me what was wrong in my reasoning?
Hi Suineg,
Pehaps this will shed some sort of flickering light on the subject…
With a little help from Wiki…
Julian calendars had a leap year every 4 years, but Gregorian calendar corrected the Julian calendar by a little bit. Years that are divisible by 100, are not leap years unless, they are divisible by 400 years. Such as the year 1900 was not a leap year, but the year 2000 is in fact a leap year.
1/1/2001 was on a Monday.
There were 24 leap years, and 76 regular years from 1/1/2001 to 1/1/2101.
24*366 + 76*365 = 8784 + 27740 = 36524 days
36,519 + 5 = 5217 weeks and 5 days. 1/1/2101 was on a Saturday.
Same scenario from 1/1/2101 to 1/1/2201. 1/1/2201 was on a Thursday (Saturday + 5 days).
Same scenario again from 1/1/2201 to 1/1/2301. 1/1/2301 was on a Tuesday.
Different Scenario from 1/1/2301 to 1/1/2401, because the year 2400 is divisible by 400.
25 leap years, 75 regular years.
25*366 + 75*365 = 9150 + 27375 = 36525
5217 weeks and 6 days.
Which means 1/1/2401 is again on a Monday, and the cycle repeats.
Clear as mud?
thanks MichaelC; my error was assuming that in every century you have 25 leap years and 75 normal years; because I did not know that if a year was divisible by 100 but not by 400 is not considered a leap year, cool, everyday is a good time to learn new things thanks.

Associate Professor Heather Roberge has been appointed to the position of chair of the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design effective July 1, 2017. She will take over for interim chair, Professor Neil Denari, alongside whom she has served as interim vice chair during this past academic year.

A designer and educator who has served on the faculty at UCLA since 2002, Roberge is the founder and principal of Murmur, an award winning practice based in Los Angeles. Roberge's research and professional work investigate the spatial, structural, and atmospheric potential that digital technologies have on the theory and practice of building. Her teaching emphasizes innovative approaches to material, computation, and manufacturing to expand the formal vocabulary and spatial implications of building envelopes and assemblies.

Think you've seen all of Neil Denari's work? Eleven inkjet drawings featuring unbuilt visions by Denari's studio NMDA will be showcased in his "Displaced Buildings in Aperiodic City" exhibition, opening May 27 at the Steven Holl-designed 'T' Space Gallery in Rhinebeck, New York. If you'll be in the area in the coming weeks, it could be worth checking out.

NMDA created the drawings over the past seven years. Ranging from port terminals to museums, each project was originally designed for specific contexts in various cities.

Image credit: Neil M. Denari Architects.

"A number of buildings designed over the last seven years have been displaced from their original context as a life-enhancing act, given that their material lives never began. Designed for specific contexts in various cities, they now occupy peculiar voids in Aperiodic City," Neil Denari writes. "In this new context, these buildings take on new meanings, yet they retain all the attributes of their original locations. But the ...

"Chromatopia, at first, aims to be a collective project designed by eight individuals, a collective enterprise that negotiates its individual differences within a regime of agreement. The utopic overtones (or undertones?) openly engage the premise of a new and different world, yet the world depicted here is made up of the existing impulses of Shanghai. More towers, more programs, more color — to offer at a political level more publicness too, which may be more atopic in its mission, that is, to make a borderless utopia, one that would infect the life and spirit of the city." — Neil Denari

Our new podcast, Archinect Sessions: One-to-One is an interview show, straight-up. Each episode features a single interview with a notable figure in contemporary architecture – it's that simple. Usually, One-to-One will be led by me or Paul Petrunia, while occasionally others will serve as guide. The conversation will be casual and spontaneous, touching on the interviewee's role in the expanding range of architectural practice, and will serve (we hope) a valuable archival role in future discourse.

For our very first episode, I spoke with Neil Denari of Neil M. Denari Architects (NMDA). Aside from his firm's work, Denari is a tenured professor at UCLA, and was the director of SCI-Arc from 1997 - 2001. We spoke about the shifting focus of architecture education, multitasking, Los Angeles and the recession's impact on architecture.

The big catharsis for UCLA Architecture and Urban Design comes by way of RUMBLE, an all-school expo held at the end of the academic year, that includes student work, final reviews, program installations, and lectures. Mixing content from students, practitioners, critics and faculty, the event spans a full week in June, and gives the public a chance to peek into A.UD's world. This year's RUMBLE included work from studios led by Neil Denari, Frank Gehry, Craig Hodgetts, Greg Lynn, Thom Mayne and many more, showcased across two campuses for the first time in A.UD history.

In addition to their facilities on the main campus in Westwood, UCLA acquired a giant airplane hanger in Playa Vista for its satellite Hercules campus, now home to SUPRASTUDIO, UCLA's M.Arch II program. You can read more about the goings-on at Hercules from our visit in December.

 Considering this, and Denari's love for all things Japanese, it's no surprise he was drawn to the competition to design a hip, new Japanese airline earlier this year. He won. And today the designs for Peach Airlines are unveiled. There's not too much to see yet, but so far so good.

 Press release follows...

 OSAKA & TOKYO May 24, 2011 - A&F Aviation Co., Ltd. (A&F Aviation), Japan's first
 dedicated low cost carrier (LCC) announced today that their airline will operate under
 the brand name "Peach."

 The name "Peach" was chosen for its symbolism as a well-known and much loved fruit
 that symbolizes longevity, energy and happiness across Asian countries. "Peach"
 strives to be the airline that represents these traits.

But like other architects of his generation, especially those who formed many of their ideas working in Los Angeles's sprawling suburban maze, Mr. Denari is less interested in perpetuating the myth of the open road than in mining it for new ideas. His work has more to do with exploring adolescent fantasies than with celebrating personal freedom. It suggests a longing for a world — free, open, upwardly mobile — that began to break down more than 30 years ago.

 Last week was Christopher Hawthorne's turn. This week the NY Times' Nicolai Ouroussoff reviews Neil Denari's HL23.

For all its dynamism, precision and intelligence, there has always been something a bit antiseptic about Denari's work, as if it were hermetically sealed against emotion as well as imperfection. The New York building, with its fluid, digitally derived profile and facade of glass and panels of embossed stainless steel, won't dramatically change that impression. Its design personality is closer to robotic than balletic.

 As previously mentioned on Archinect here in 2008 and here in 2011. The 156 feet-high, 39,200 square-foot building officially opens in June. Perched next to and on top of the High Line, the 12-unit building is rumored to be selling for as much as $2,600 a square foot according to Curbed. The might-be-LEED-Gold building is located at 517 West 23rd Street, New York, New York.

 Luckily for us, the Denari-designed building opened its doors to LA Times' reporter Christopher Hawthorne. "... shows how much Denari has learned from those periods of immersion in Japanese culture, particularly when it comes to the ability of Tokyo architects to shoehorn ambitious buildings into small and highly restricted spaces. (Its robotic quality too seems somehow Japanese, a kind of half-imposing, half-childlike "Transformers" spirit channeled into architecture.) Denari, in fact, calls HL23's location a highly "Tokyo-ized" site, squeezed not just by the Manhattan grid but by a long list of other co...

Edinburgh, Sept 29 (ANI): Andy Murray's mother Judy has revealed that she turned down the chance to take charge of tennis' governing body in the UK, the Lawn Tennis Association.
According to The Scotsman, Judy Murray is the captain of the British team in the Fed Cup, the female equivalent of the Davis Cup, and was a performance coach at the governing body until 2009.
She has coached double Grand Slam winner, Andy and his brother Jamie, who won the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon in 2007, the report said.
Andy now works under the tutelage of Austrian coach Ivan Lendl, and Judy Murray said that Lendl's presence has helped to keep the Murray camp calm at difficult moments, the report added.
Judy said that she would rather die than become LTA chief executive, the report further said.
Canadian Michael Downey was unveiled in the 600,000 pound-a-year role earlier this week, according to the report. (ANI)
