It's only the very rare work that can officially be deemed a classic a mere twenty-one years after its publication, but such a one is Raymond Kennedy's Ride a Cockhorse, newly republished in New York Review Books' marvelous Classics series. I can't imagine how I missed Ride a Cockhorse the first time around, for it is one of the funniest novels I've ever picked up and also quite sui generis: Kennedy's voice is entirely idiosyncratic, his tale of a reign of terror at an unremarkable Connecticut Valley bank a startling mixture of the ludicrous and the appalling.
It is the autumn of 1987. Throughout the twenty or so years she has worked as a home loan officer at the Parish Bank, the widowed Mrs. Frances "Frankie" Fitzgibbons, soft-spoken and deferential, has attracted little notice from anyone. But now something is changing. "Almost overnight, she had become more strident, even to the point of badgering customers on the telephone and lifting her voice to a level that was considered inconsistent with the usual soft-spoken manner of a courteous banker."
She experiences a corresponding quickening of her dormant libido, taking an unseemly interest in the resplendent youth who leads the high school marching band past her house every Saturday morning. She leers at him from behind a screen of Dutchman's pipe on her front porch: "He was marching in place. His head was up; he had a brass whistle in his mouth; the sun was in his face…. The golden tassels of his prodigious baton blew and shimmered in the October air. Mrs. Fitzgibbons had an impulse to run into the street and wrestle him to the pavement….'I'd like to change his diapers,' said Mrs. Fitzgibbons."
All impulse control is gone. Soon she is cruising the town at night in her dented Honda, stalking the drum major and eventually — triumphantly — seducing him. Her dress sense sharpens, and she goes in for a sleeker, more glamorous style in clothes and makeup; before long she is the image of the ruthless capitalist, 1980s-style. She assumes a hectoring tone with the hapless "welshers," as she describes them, who are late with their mortgage payments. "Whom do you think you're dealing with? Your local grocer? We're your bank!" she roars over the phone to one lady who's been trying to soft-soap her. "We're not talking about your snowblower or your refrigerator. We're talking about your house. If you can't show me good faith, I'll turn it over to Maloney and Halpern for foreclosure proceedings."
Like most people who experience manic episodes, Frankie begins to find "normal" people pathetic. She sees her boss as a "vacant, neutered force to which she had paid loyalty all these years, believing in the meanwhile that her personal welfare and livelihood depended upon it." Her daughter. Barbara, is a contemptible bleeding heart — "so liberal," Frankie tells a member of the press, "that she cleans up behind her dog with her bare hands." These types are fit only to be crushed underfoot, and in a matter of days Frankie is embarked on a rise to power that would impress Hitler. Her nascent paranoia finds no shortages of "enemies" who plan to "assassinate her," and she cooks up ways to smash many of them brutally. She supplants her boss in a lightning putsch; she fires employees indiscriminately to achieve a cathartic rush; she plans the takeover of competing local banks.
Like all demagogues, Frankie attracts fanatical devotees. First among these is her hairdresser, Bruce, who displays an obvious need not only to associate himself with such an authoritative figure but literally to worship her. Then there is Bruce's rough-trade boyfriend, Matthew, who chauffeurs Frankie around in his big, shiny Buick when the Honda is deemed insufficiently grand to accommodate Parish Bank's rising star. There is Julie Marcotte, the young secretary who "had betrayed on occasion a sycophantic streak that appealed to Mrs. Fitzgibbons" and accordingly becomes her personal assistant and Cerberus; and there are the thugs who inevitably gravitate to rabble-rousers, such as the hitherto benign security guard, Mr. Donachie, who "clearly welcomed her treating him with a steady affection that was both imperious and reassuring" and now takes to wearing militaristic black (with an American flag pin on his lapel) whenever he escorts Frankie anywhere.
It all makes for a brilliantly sinister comedy that carries considerable thematic heft. The setting of the novel in 1987 is no mistake; Black Monday occurs in the early days of Frankie's ascendency, shaking up the bank and facilitating her rise, and there are sparing but pointed references to the relaxation of federal controls on banks that had taken place during the previous few years and the resultant gambling and chance-taking bankers indulged in with deposits. To see Frankie Fitzgibbons as a satirical take on the out-of-control capitalism enabled by the Reagan financial reforms is easy enough; the fact that the situation has only become more pronounced in the two decades since Kennedy was writing makes the parallels all the more marked.
But Frankie's rise to power has still broader implications. Does clinical mania effectively engender sociopathy, releasing the patient from moral scruples and constraints in the same way that the relaxation of banking regulations has released predatory capitalists? At one point, early in her ascent, Frankie feels herself "trembling inside, as though the soul within her were shaking its cage to be let out." Do we all of us carry, somewhere inside, a power-hungry sociopath screaming to be set free? And what about the ease — no, the joy — with which certain people attach themselves to demagogues and follow them into the breach? Frankie is not an allegorical stand-in for Hitler, but her rise directly follows the classic dictator pattern.
But Kennedy is too antic a writer to press home any of these obvious implications with excessive force. His Frankie remains — mercifully — a small-time and ultimately fangless fascist, her homely surroundings emphasizing the absurdity of her grandiose quest. Kennedy is a master not only of the language of his native Connecticut Valley (Frankie's way with the local lingo is instrumental in her success, as has been the case with Sarah Palin) but with its imagery as well. He makes effective sport of Frankie's hometown with its "revitalized" downtown mall and run-down country clubs. Cars — as everywhere in America and no doubt the wider world as well — are always richly indicative of status and aspirations. Barbara and her husband's mud-spattered compact says as much about them as Frankie's adoption of the Buick does about her, at that moment: "The sight of the filthy compact following Matthew's gleaming, highly polished Buick down Dwight Street toward the business district was curious to the eye. It looked as though the Buick had snagged something under its wheels and was towing it to the city dump."
Like all really good comic novelists Kennedy loves his monsters. Many readers will develop not only a fascination with Frankie but a sneaking liking for her as well, so that when her rampage comes to its inevitable end there is something almost touching in her deflation. There is even a soupçon of theology, if we care to pick up on it. Kennedy, though broadly comic in his style, could be a subtle moralist.

A new study suggests that corn prices could spike in the near future due to climate change.
The research said that devastating heat waves could force US corn producers to move crops northward towards the Canadian border to avoid crop failures.
"The likelihood of increasing occurrence of severe hot events in response to increasing global greenhouse-gas concentrations poses a particular risk for field crops," the researchers said, according to Bloomberg.
"Even one or two degrees of global warming is likely to substantially increase heatwaves that lead to low-yield years and more price volatility."
Noah S. Diffenbaugh, a climate scientist at Stanford and the author of the study, found that climate change's influence on corn price volatility may be more important than fluctuation caused by oil prices or energy policies that mandate biofuels in the future.
"Frankly, I was surprised that climate had the largest effect of these three influences," said Diffenbaugh, according to Futurity.
"These are substantial changes in price volatility that come from relatively moderate global warming."
The study suggests that on top of moving northward, farmers should develop more heat-tolerant corn varieties in order to deal with the problem.
The research was published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Maria Menounos: The Idea of Marriage "Scares Me"
After dating for nearly a decade, Maria Menounos knows she's found The One in producer Keven Undergaro. What she's not so sure about, however, is whether she wants to make things official by saying "I do."
"I think there was definitely a moment where we could have done it. And then there were family things and we were like, 'No,'" the Extra co-host, 34, explains on Bethenny Frankel's eponymous talk show (airing July 12). "Not the right time."
PHOTOS: Celebs who haven't wed -- yet!
"The timing didn't quite work out in the beginning when we really kind of felt it. And then after that, we got so busy," she continues. "And we kind of realized, 'Well, do we really need to get married?' I don't know. And that's still kind of a question in my mind: Are you supposed to get married? Do you have to get married? It doesn't look like it works out that well a lot unfortunately, so it scares me."
PHOTOS: Stars and their soulmates
According to Menounos, her family wasn't always so sure about Undergaro. "My Dad was very upset at first that he wasn't Greek," the former Dancing With the Stars competitor says. "That was a massive hurdle to get over."
PHOTOS: Incredible DWTS body makeovers!
They eventually grew to love Undergaro, according to Menounos -- so much so that they're pressuring them to start a family. "I do want to have children," she says.
"Isn't that law in Greece?" Frankel, 41, jokes. "Don't you just have to have children?"
Says Menounos: "Well, if you talk to my parents, absolutely. 'Maria, life -- it means nothing without the kids. . . '"

Blackboard Missing Course Menu Items
Occasionally, for no known reason, course menu items will become hidden. This will prevent students from viewing your content and will result in numerous emails complaining of the issue. In order to correct the issue, please follow these steps:
1. Using the contextual menu, toggle the availability off and then on again by using the "Hide Link" or "Show Link" option. This will often clear the problem.
IF this doesn't correct the problem....
2. Create a new course menu item by clicking on the "+" symbol at the top of the course menu and choose the appropriate menu item you wish to have. Most commonly this will be a Content Area or Tool Link.
Name the menu item and check the box to make it available to students.
This will then display in the course menu. You will then want to move the content items from the unusable content area to this new one.
To move content, use the dropdown selection beside the content item title and choose "Move". From the Move window, click 'Browse' under the Destination section and choose the course menu content area you just created and named (hopefully a little different!!). Complete these steps until all content is moved. Delete the unusable course menu item.
This should correct any content viewing issue you or your students have in the course.

Normally this wouldn't be a bad thing, except for the fact that it broke flush with the hole in the block , so I couldn't get it out .

Racist Humor Falls Flat With Meretz Councilman in Jerusalem
Dep. Jerusalem mayor allegedly said Haredi education doesn't accept 'Sephardim, monkeys, Russians and Ethiopians.'
In a private meeting yesterday with a Meretz member of the city council and her aide, deputy Jerusalem mayor Yitzhak Pindros allegedly said in jest that "at Haredi education we do not accept Sephardim, monkeys, Russians and Ethiopians." Pindros denies saying that and says that Laura Varton, the city council member, is "a liar and an anti-Semite."
The meeting between the two was set up when Varton asked Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat about a document she had prepared, aiming to counter the phenomenon of Sephardi girls being rejected at Haredi schools in the city. Barkat asked her to present the document to Pindros and hear his views on the matter.
The meeting included the aides of Pindros and Varton. All sides to the meeting say that the atmosphere was unpleasant, and each side blames the other for being rude and unwilling to listen.
During the meeting, Varton tried to present the document she had prepared, but Pindros, who was displeased by the fact that deputy mayor Yosef Alalo had not come to the meeting as planned, apparently refused to continue the meeting.
"I showed him the document and told him that it included four interesting proposals," Varton says.
"We began going through it and he said that it would take time and that it could not happen, and then he got angry and said, 'Well, it is true that we do not accept Sephardim, Ethiopians, Russians and monkeys.'
"I asked him whether that is what he had to say, and answered 'yes' and repeated the statement," Varton said.
"He was obviously kidding, but I didn't think it was a very good joke," she said.
Varton's aide, Clara Almog, kept minutes of the meeting and in her notes she wrote the following statement: "Pindros: We do not accept Sephardim, monkeys, Russians and Ethiopians, unless we are bribed."
Both felt that the tone of the statement was cynical.
Following this exchange the meeting came to an end, and Varton, upset, relayed the story to the secretary of Alalo, who confirmed to Haaretz the details of the meeting.
Of course, Pindros has a different version of events: "For every sentence I began in an effort to explain, she rolled her eyes in expression of disbelief. I told her 'if you do not want to hear me, then go. That is all."
"I told her: you do not want to hear that we do not accept, so there is nothing to say. That sentence was not said. Unequivocally, it was not said," Pindros said yesterday.
"The readers of Haaretz are not my constituency so I have no interest in even apologizing," Pindros told Haaretz in a different conversation. "She is a liar and an anti-Semite and I stand behind every word I am saying here. When a person wants to solve a problem and does not wish to listen to what I have to say, that is anti-Semitism. The fact is that we accept all the female students."
Pindros heads the United Torah Judaism faction in the city council, which is mayor Barkat's largest coalition partner, and is considered among the moderate leaders of the ultra-Orthodox community in Jerusalem. Pindros had been assailed, verbally and physically by extremist Haredim, who claimed that he allows Barkat to desecrate the Sabbath by allowing the opening of the Karta parking garage and Intel to operate on Saturday.
The problem with racism in the Haredi education system is a known fact, and Varton claims there are some 300 female pupils who are subjected to discrimination annually in the Haredi schools.
In the document presented to Barkat and Pindros, Varton proposes municipal legislation that would prevent parents from interfering in the acceptance process for pupils in schools. She says that this is one way in which the discrimination is put into effect.

Pace of Play Tip - If you're planning a golf trip and you know that your group is a little rusty or has some beginners, make sure you have a plan for keeping up with the pace of play.
Here are a few suggestions that might help you out:
- You can book your tee times later in the morning so you're not the first ones out...the first groups out have the pressure of setting the pace of play for the whole day.
- Establish golf games or scoring rules for your group that encourage your players to keep up. If you have a plan in place and your group is proactive about maintaining a good pace of play, your group will have a much more enjoyable golf trip.

Thank you for posting this great content. I was searching for this subject for a long time. I found your post quiet interesting. Keep sharing.
Eye Anchors: LaserVision Discs Page 2
Actually, the sharpest TV images you are ever likely to see are on the monitors at a TV broadcast studio, and if you have any interest in good video quality, I cannot urge you too strongly to pay an educational visit to your local TV studio for a gander at what 35mm film's poor cousin is capable of. The picture definition from some cable "transmissions" and many LaserVideo discs comes close to it, but the limiting factor in most instances is the restricted bandwidth of the average TV set. (The upper-frequency limit determines picture detail.)
But by far the biggest disparity between the TV picture and good video sound reproduction in the home is their relative size. Unless you own a projection TV system, the visual cues you get are completely contradictory to the aural ones. The sound is spread across 68' of space between the speakers, while the picture is crammed into a tiny rectangle between them. An automobile on-screen moves 12" inches to the left and its stereo image shifts 5 feet.
Many viewers are not at all bothered by this, as there is a natural tendency for us to let our eyes tell us where our ears are hearing things from. But most audiophiles, who have come to rely on aural cues for directional information, are so distressed by this sensory paradox that they can derive no enjoyment from the program.
There is a solution, though.
Loudspeakers must be a minimum distance apart and away from you to convey spatiality from a stereo signal, but there is no rule that says the TV set has to be as far away from you as the speakers are. Time alignment doesn't matter here. And the closer you sit to a TV screen, the wider the included angle of the picture you see.
With a 19" screen a mere 23' or so away from your face, as you sit in your favorite stereo seat, the viewed picture is about as wide as the distance between the speakers, and the disparity between space as seen and space as heard virtually disappears. (And the image detail on a good TV set is superior to anything yet obtainable from a projection TV set.) This is the way to enjoy video with stereo sound, and take it from one who's tried it, the experience can spoil you.
Although the specifications for LaserVision videodisc sound are unimpressive, the sound is not. Combined with CX noise reduction (for which many music discs are encoded and all recent-model players are equipped), the sound is in most respects comparable to the best that digital has to offer, which is saying something! The loudest passages are more effortlessly clean than anything ever heard from analog LPs, and surface noise as such is virtually nonexistent. (Interestingly, the only noise I heard from our Pioneer LD-660 player was not hiss, or hum, but a faint 60Hz background buzz. Pioneer tells us this should not be there, but the problem had not yet been resolved at the time of this writing.)
Highs are simply gorgeous on some of the LV music discs, and the low end has much the same startling detail and weight as that from the new CD digital audio discsto a point. That point is 40Hz, which, apparently because of the FM system used for audio on LV discs, is a veritable brickwall. Below 40Hz, the system output seems to plummet like the proverbial lead balloon. (This lower limit was verified from three discs with a spectrum analyzer, which read 8dB down at 37Hz and 20dB down at 30.)
Whether in fact this 40Hz bottom is a limitation of the system or of the software we had on hand remains to be seen, and while it may seem very off-putting to a perfectionist accustomed to reproducing the subway rumbles from Philharmonic Hall, in terms of music reproduction the range below 40Hz is rarely missed. It is below the lowest note of a double bass and below the fundamental of most bass drums. And it is lower than most film soundtracks go, including the concussive opening of Apocalypse Now or the omnipresent surging-power background rumble of the Deathstar in Star Wars.
In short, I am very favorably impressed with the LV system as a means for reproducing music. There are fewer than 15 classically oriented LaserVision discs available as yet, but what's available is rather substantial fare: Tales of Hoffman, Aida, the Swan Lake and Nutcracker ballets, the complete Ma Vlast of Smetana, Britten's Peter Grimes, and Horowitz's London concert. And if the three discs I heard/ saw are representative, the performances are superbseveral cuts above your typical sound-only recording. (Be it noted for the record, though, that the sound-only part of most of these performances is also available on conventional stereo discs.)
The popular field is much better represented on LV, including many taped-on-stage performances and MTV-type sight-and-sound extravaganzas. More music with images is appearing each month on LV, and from now on we are going to include them in our recorded-music reviews. They can no longer be ignored, even by those who have thus far equated home video with Deep Throat, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Three Stooges Meet the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Find God.J.

Growing up on a small pig farm in rural Western Kentucky has given Neil Powell a singular perspective on the fragility of life, the inevitability of death, the shadow of loneliness, and the underappreciated ability to castrate a hog. Much of his childhood was spent in isolation, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the countryside and the inescapable ugliness of poverty and addiction. Neils work searches for meaning and understanding of these experiences and how they have led him down his life path. By obsessively documenting the personalities of small town life, their often-conflicting attitudes and his emotional struggle to leave for something better, the resulting images take the form of maps, diagrams and schematics that have been described as modern day hieroglyphics.
Powell's Down by the Side of the Road opens tonight at 222 Gallery, located at 451 N. Fairfax, LA, California. The show runs until August 1.

Faculty Senate Executive Committee Actions
Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Chair's Report: Faculty Senate Chair Camille Charles reported that the Tri-Chairs met with Vice Provost for Faculty, Lynn Lees and will hand out a list of the Penn Action Plan for Faculty Diversity and Excellence school-level coordinators in all 12 schools. She reported on recent developments with the Action Plan: the Presidential Term Professorship guidelines have been established, the numbers of postdoctoral fellowships have increased from four to seven, and the financial support for the Faculty Opportunity Fund has been increased. She reminded SEC members to complete the faculty climate survey. Dr. Charles stated that the Senate Committee on the Economic Status of the Faculty (SCESF) will be meeting with Vice Provost Lynn Lees next week and is on target to produce their annual report early in the spring semester. She thanked SEC members for sending faculty names to populate the working groups on regulatory issues that Senior Vice Provost for Research Steve Fluharty will be populating this spring.
Update from the President: President Amy Gutmann presented the highest priorities for the Office of the President for fiscal year 2012. Dr. Gutmann discussed ongoing efforts to recruit the most talented and diverse students, strengthen no-loan financial aid programs for undergraduates, expand undergraduate research opportunities, and improve graduate student stipends. She discussed the Penn Action Plan for Faculty Diversity and Excellence designed to move toward the goal of recruiting and retaining a more diverse faculty. She explained that the 12 schools have been charged to develop their own diversity plans and she urged SEC members to work with their schools on this. Dr. Gutmann proudly reported that Penn's Making History $3.5 billion campaign goal was achieved more than a year ahead of schedule and is comprised of 200,000 individual gifts. She discussed ongoing efforts for prudent endowment investment in a weak economic climate. She reviewed the challenges of decreasing sponsored research funding noting that the Center for Technology Transfer has improved and is more user-friendly. Dr. Gutmann updated SEC on Penn Connects Phase I facilities projects that were completed on time and on budget including Penn Park which added 20% new campus space. She reviewed current construction projects, recognition for Penn's outstanding sustainability plan, the local economic impacts of the University, and the continued success of the Penn Alexander School.
SEC members and the President discussed the following topics: potential for grant funding from corporate sources, vision for the newly acquired DuPont Marshall Labs property that has multiple potential uses, ways to improve endowment performance, ideas for integrating knowledge effectively at Penn, the institution's future plans for a physical global presence, and how each school will be held accountable for improving faculty diversity.
Update from the Vice Provost for Education: Vice Provost Andy Binns updated SEC on the upcoming Middle States Accreditation scheduled for 2014. He explained that this occurs every 10 years and that the reaccreditation process takes three years. He reported that undergraduate education will be the focus for Penn's 2014 review. He stated that there are two components to the evaluation: a self study completed by the institution and a visit by a team of external peer evaluators. He explained that the last accreditation review in 2004 focused on Penn's PhD programs and resulted in the implementation of a uniform PhD tuition structure, increased support for PhD students and stronger family friendly-policies. He reviewed the multi-year timeline for the review process noting that he hopes to name faculty for working groups for the self-study by February 2012. He reviewed the draft outline for the self-study and explained that 14 standards are the basis for the self-study. He reported that the goal is to demonstrate that Penn meets the standards in ways that the faculty and schools feel is consistent with their mission via realistic, useful activities, and policies.
Follow up on the presentation of the University Response to the Economic Climate: Faculty Senate Chair-Elect Susan Margulies reported that Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli took notes from his conversation with SEC about their concerns on administrative burdens and is working on solutions. She explained that the Senate Committee on Faculty and the Administration (SCOA) can follow up on this. She reported that EVP Carnaroli offered to bring a demonstration of the proposed TEM (travel and entertainment management) system to a spring SEC meeting.

If Gonzales is cashiered, as now seems likely, who will replace him? McNulty is just as implicated. A figure above the fray? Bush can't risk it. Miers? A no-go. The replacement will tell us a great deal about how scared the Bush people are of real, independent scrutiny. Which may leave them with the option of ... going back to where they started and keeping Gonzales, whatever the fallout.

Overlap in the clinical presentation of pediatric granulomatous inflammatory bowel disease may be substantial, depending on the mode of presentation. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) may present with granulomatous colitis, perianal abscesses, hepatic abscesses or granulomas, failure to thrive, and obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract (including esophageal strictures and dysmotility, delayed gastric emptying, and small bowel obstruction). Anemia, thrombocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypoalbuminemia are nonspecific and may occur in any of the granulomatous inflammatory bowel diseases. In histology, macrophages with cytoplasmic inclusions will be rather specific for CGD. Sarcoidosis may present with abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, weight loss, growth failure, delayed puberty, erythema nodosum, arthritis, uveitis, and hepatic granulomata. Only in 55% of the patients will angiotensin-converting enzyme be elevated. The noncaseating epithelioid granulomata will be unspecific. Bronchoalveolar lymphocytosis and abnormalities in pulmonary function are reported in sarcoidosis and in Crohn disease (CD) and CGD. Importantly, patients with CD may present with granulomatous lung disease, fibrosing alveolitis, and drug-induced pneumonitis. Sarcoidosis and concomitant gastrointestinal CD have been reported in patients, as well as coexistence of CD and sarcoidosis in siblings. Common susceptibility loci have been identified in CD and sarcoidosis. CD and CGD share defects in the defense mechanisms against different microbes. In the present review, common features and essential differences are discussed in clinical presentation and diagnostics--including histology--in CGD, sarcoidosis, and CD, together with 2 other granulomatous inflammatory bowel diseases, namely abdominal tuberculosis and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Instructions for specific diagnosis and respective treatments are provided.

TAMPA — Stacy Frank, an attorney and small-business owner, said Tuesday that she's running for state representative in District 57.
Frank, a Democrat, wants to replace Republican Faye Culp, who is facing a term limit.
Her father, Richard Frank, is the retired chief judge of the Second District Court of Appeal.
Her mother, Pat Frank, a former state senator and Hillsborough County commissioner, is the county clerk of the circuit court.
District 57 comprises South Tampa, Town 'N Country and Westchase.
The economy is the No. 1 issue facing the state, Frank said.
"What I'm seeing in Tallahassee is a very short-term, special interest-controlled response to that and I'm obviously referring to [offshore oil] drilling," she said. "I don't think that's the answer."
Tourism, she said, is the state's primary resource, and drilling threatens that. Moving forward with drilling off Florida's coast is a speculative venture anyway, Frank believes.
"All this attention and focus is being placed on that and not finding what really should be an answer to our problems," she said.
Frank said the state needs to do more to promote solar energy instead.
"It's a clean way to not only provide an energy alternative, but also provide jobs," she said.
Frank's announcement came with a long list of endorsements, including U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, Hillsborough County Commissioner Kevin Beckner, Hillsborough County Public Defender Julianne Holt, Tampa City Council members Thomas Scott, Linda Saul-Sena, Gwen Miller, and Charlie Miranda, and former Tampa Mayor Sandy Freedman.
But she can expect resistance from a vocal group of people who have been fighting cell phone towers at Hillsborough County schools, saying they may pose health hazards to children.
Frank, 55, is chief executive of Collier Enterprises, which holds a contract with the school district to lease land for the towers.
"I will be doing everything I can to make sure she doesn't get elected," said Carrie Grimail, a cell phone tower opponent. "She's not going to represent us, the people. She's going to be representing her telecommunications buddies."
So far, Clifford Somers is the only other Democrat in the race. The Republican contenders are Todd Marks, A.J. Matthews, Dan Molloy and Dana Young.
Janet Zink can be reached at email@example.com or (813) 226-3401.

A47 upgrade: Campaigners get 'strong steer'
The push to dual a stretch of the A47 has had a "strong steer" that it would be a top priority for the government, an MP has said.
Campaigners want the road dualled from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk through to Peterborough in Cambridgeshire.
Local MPs and the A47 Alliance met roads minister Robert Goodwill.
Conservative MP for mid-Norfolk George Freeman said they were told Mr Goodwill would visit the A47 and discuss the business case for an upgrade.
Mr Freeman said: "We got a very strong steer that we've been successful in getting this road identified as a top six national priority.
"Our message was that we don't just want more patching, we want the whole thing dualled, we want a statement from the government.
"It may not happen overnight but we want to know that it's coming in the next few years and that investors, companies and communities can be sure that that decision is made."
"The fight goes to the chancellor in the run-up to the autumn statement but we're getting a good signal."
Up to 10,000 jobs could be created in Norfolk if the A47 was dualled, campaigners claim.
In January the government confirmed it would carry out a study to look at ways to improve the A47 and part of the A12 - one of six projects around the country "to find solutions to long-standing road hotspots".
Mr Freeman said nine MPs from Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, had banded together to lobby three successive roads ministers over the past three years.

The Kessler Theater
1230 W. Davis St.
Dallas, TX 75208
In 2013, content with the balance of both his violin business and performing career, David was ready to record again with his live band. Enlisting old friend Larry Campbell (three-time Grammy-winning producer for Levon Helm and multi-instrumentalist with Bob Dylan) and engineer Justin Guip, David and his group entered Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY, in March 2013. Enlisting some of Helm's former recording and touring musicians for added instrumentation, the David Bromberg Band emerged twelve days later with 'Only Slightly Mad,' a return to his genre-bending albums of the Seventies and Eighties. Bromberg fans will find blues, bluegrass, gospel, folk, Irish fiddle tunes, pop and English drinking songs happily coexisting as they can only on a Bromberg album. For newcomers, Only Slightly Mad will be an introduction to an astonishing performer whose range and musical depth have delighted devoted audiences for over forty years and will for many years hence.

More of the same on this week's Mouretsu Pirates – some very nice-looking brainy sci-fi slice-of-life that doesn't do much to quicken the pulse.
That's not to say this was a bad episode. We did get the interesting nugget of information that privateers are listed in the phone book, and a funny little pearl of wisdom from Kane that gives the episode its title "Breakfast Beats Worrying". True enough, but this isn't a show that's conducive to a whole lot of worrying as it snuggles around you like a nice, soft blanket of geekiness.
I wasn't surprised to see Marika show some real strategic sense in devising the battle plan against the attacking drone – she clearly has the genes for it. A little more surprising was the fact that she spilled the beans to her clubmates so early, and that club president Jenny Doolittle (Satou Rina) was already aware of her secret (though Chiaki had no idea). As it does with everything, the episode went out of its way to explain every little detail of the plan, as well as the details of how Marika figured out that someone was plotting an attack in the first place. It's interesting to see everyone testing her in their own way, and how she continues to be unruffled by it.
If you already liked the series I can't imagine anything you saw this week will change your mind – if anything the ep might have been a hair more engaging than the last two, but mostly it was eerily consistent. People keep saying that the issue some are having with the show (including me) is that it's "slow" but they're completely missing the point. It's isn't the pace that's the issue, it's that I'm still not too engaged with any of the characters or what's happening to them. There's no sense of danger at all, certainly – the girls are treating this is a fun field trip, and everyone except Chiaki always has a nice big smile on their face. Basically, the mood of the show is a flatline – there are no peaks and valleys, no emotional highs and lows. Heck, I can't remember an instance of anyone in the cast even raising their voice. I still enjoy the way the show treats it's sci-fi elements seriously, and it's cerebral tone is eerily reminiscent of some of the brainy sci-fi series of the '90s.
We may finally get some real movement next week, both in terms of the confrontation with the enemy drone – which Marika has resolved to commandeer and turn against its mothership with the help of Vice-President Lynn Lambretta (Hikasa Yoko) and in terms of the larger plot, as the preview suggests Marika will finally be making her decision (not much suspense there, is there?) That won't change anything meaningfully in and of itself, because again, pacing isn't the real issue. What's going to speak volumes is the way the characters react to those events – will we finally see some emotional movement?

Considered one of Shakespeare's most popular history plays, this rousing tale has not been produced on The Shakespeare Theatre stage in 20 years. Henry IV, Part One began performances on May 30 and runs through June 24 at the Theatre's Main Stage – the F. M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre.
Check out photos from the production, featuring John Ahlin, Brent Harris, John Little, Patrick Toon, Jordan Laroya, Izzie Steele, Jon Barker, and Derek Wilson, below!
Henry IV, Part One features Shakespeare's brilliant invention of Falstaff, the colorful character who appears in three of the Bard's plays. In Henry IV, Part One, we see him at the height of his rowdy and bawdy powers. Along with the delinquent Prince Hal, the fiery Hotspur, and a host of nobles and ner'er-do-wells, fact and fiction blend seamlessly under Shakespeare's sure hand.
For tickets or for more information, call the box office at 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org. The F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre is located at 36 Madison Avenue (at Lancaster Road), in Madison.

Discussion in 'Classic Menswear' started by emptym, Aug 27, 2010.
I do die in 16oz, but at least I look awesome whilst dying.
The price one pays to look like a baws. If you almost die in NYC, imagine Louisiana...
I wear my Lesser 16 DB about 6-8 months a year. I started wearing it a week or two ago.
I just started wearing 16oz this week. I generally wear it until about May, or whenever the humidity kicks up.
My vanity is greater than my misery.
Alright Vox Jr. I feel you though - I am drawn to heavier fabric, and own far more a/w gear regardless of the fact that I rarely have the chance to such gear.
Also, I recently updated my Bespoke Adventure thread. Here are some detes from my most recent fitting with Chris.
Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!
I have thought about a pinstripe navy. Navy is tough for me. My skin tone has a reddish hue, and my hair is somewhat coppery, so darker navy's are often not appealing. I have always been enamored with that pinstripe that Sanders wears. However, I am fairly broad shouldered, and do not always like the way that pinstripe suits wear on me.
In any event, back to scheduled programming! After numerous delays, we arrived in Chicago around 2:30 p.m. this past Saturday (as opposed to 10:30 a.m.). I went straight from the airport to baggage claim (where I found the airline lost my bags), from baggage claim to hotel, and from hotel to Chris' shop. Unfortunately, without clothing in hand, I had to wear my airport attire. We will get to the deets on the jacket later.
But first, some food pr0n! On Saturday night, we went to Blackbird. I was fairly diligent, and took pictures of most of the courses.
Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!
I thought Blackbird was delicious. Not the best restaurant I have been to, but the dishes were fun, and the place had a great atmosphere. All things considered, the price was reasonable for the quality, in my opinion. When we were finished with Blackbird, we were exhausted. I am not used to dining at 9:30 p.m. anymore.
The next day was leisurely. Went for a walk, rented some bikes, etc. Went to Cindy's for brunch, grabbed a light lunch at Ema, and went to Au Cheval for dinner. All in all, a heck of a day (I think I am still full).
Was pretty terrible about pictures, but here is one where I am contemplating the menu.
Alright, now, to the good stuff! Unfortunately, did not get to spend as much time with Chris as I would have liked, but I got to spend a good hour at his shop. I came in on Saturday, and he was working with his apprentice, Eric. Eric trained in Rome, and has been working for Chris for about 4-5 years (IIRC). Sat around, and talked shop for a little bit. Chris was kind enough to offer me a beer, and I happily accepted his offer (3 Floyd's Zombie Dust - yet another perk). In exchange, I brought him some Ghost in the Machine, a great beer proudly brewed here in Louisiana.
I put on my coat, and I was surprised at how much I loved the fabric. I look forward to shooting the jacket in natural light.
We had a few minor changes. We decided to shorten the jacket by about 3/8 of an inch or so (not pictured). We also brought in the waist a hair (pictured). Chris also let out the back a little bit, and raised the collar - I evidently have put on a bit of muscle (with my new house, I guess the yard work is giving me some of that much-needed grown man strength). We decided to go for a softer look with this jacket. It is not styled as aggressively as my suit. For some reason or another, I think that overly suppressed jackets can often look incongruous - especially one as countrified as this.
We decided to change the initial configuration, slightly. We are going with triple patch pockets, and we picked out some dark reddish-brown buttons. I think it is all going to look fantastic. Also, we decided to go with two buttons on the sleeve.
Chris indicated that the jacket should be finished in about a month. I am looking forward to it already!

The sky is falling, the sky is falling! But we're talking about the annual Perseid Meteor Shower, so you have nothing to fear. A magnificent show is a possibility tonight, particularly around and after midnight (weather permitting), thanks to this year's coinciding dark moon. But DU astronomy instructors will begin watching at 8:30 p.m. from Chamberlin Observatory, 2930 East Warren Avenue, hoping to catch a glimpse of the occasional sixty-per-hour outburst of shooting stars. The public is invited to join in; for information, call 303-871-5172 or visit www.du.edu/~rstencel/Chamberlin.

The annual Boulder Open Studios tour is gearing up for its tenth anniversary in October with a top-secret project that encourages all-ages community participation. America's Largest Paint-by-Number, a hush-hush monumental wall image created by BOS artist George Good, will eventually adorn the north side of the Colorado Building at the corner of 14th and Walnut streets in Boulder. But it won't be unfurled until each of 25 separate sections, painted by disparate Front Range groups, are finished and assembled for a September 18 unveiling. Denver's art community is invited to pitch in on one panel, today from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at H.R. Meininger, 499 Broadway; for some paintbrush-wielding folks, participation in the project could mean their first public showing. For details on the free paint-fest, visit www.openstudios.org.
Do the locomotion: Anyone who's ever wondered what it's like to sit behind the controls of a real railroad engine will have the opportunity -- in spades -- on Big Boy Train Day at the Forney Museum of Transportation, 4303 Brighton Boulevard. Cab tours of the "Big Boy," as the museum's massive 132-foot-long Union Pacific steam locomotive 4005 -- one of the largest in the world -- is affectionately known, will be offered today between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., along with a slide show with expert Jim Ehernberger and a Chautauqua-style presentation featuring Colorado railroad pioneer David Moffat. These special events are free with museum admission, $3.50 to $7 (children under five admitted free), which also offers access to the Forney's regular exhibits, a wonderful mélange of old-fangled automobiles, railroad equipment, motorcycles, trolleys, carriages, bicycles and one-of-a-kind curiosities. All aboard! Call 303-297-1113.
One might say that this year's U.S. Bank Moonlight Classic falls at an inopportune time (as noted in Thursday's item, the moon's actually on vacation this week), but what the heck. You'll just have to put on as much reflective gear as you can carry and brave the unlit shadows for the annual middle-of-the-night city bike tour. At any rate, you'll be in good company: Some 5,000 bicyclists are expected at the event, which benefits Seniors Inc.! The Classic begins and ends at Civic Center Park, but it's far more than a dark ride around a block or two. The 10 p.m. After Hours Cycling Bash precedes wave starts between midnight and 1 a.m. -- riders can choose between a ten- or twenty-mile course -- with bike-courier races, BMX demos and a costume contest rounding out the fun. Registration fees range from $20 to $40; for details, go to www.moonlight-classic.com.

Can it really be that summer's almost over? School bells are about to toll all around town, and although there's plenty of warm weather to come, everything starts to look and feel different somehow. Still, it's just the beginning of the harvest season, which means prime time at metro-area farmers' markets, when juicy Colorado peaches, tangy raspberries, vine-ripened tomatoes and mouth-watering sweet corn begin to roll in. Enjoy! Make the most of your Sunday morning at the following locations: the City Park Esplanade Fresh Market at East High School, 1545 Detroit Street, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; the Market at Belmar, Wadsworth Boulevard and Alameda Avenue in Lakewood, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with an added pancake breakfast for hungry patrons; the folksy Old South Pearl Street Farmers' Market, 1500 block of South Pearl Street, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and the Stapleton Farmers' Market, at the Town Center at Quebec Street and East 29th Avenue, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Regardless of which one you choose, bring a basket, a wad of cash and a big appetite.

Thanks for your help and comments.
This system has been in use for more than a month so I thought I'd give an update. Comparisons to last year are pretty valid, since La Nina conditions (generally warmer and drier than normal) prevailed then as now. Still winter-ish though; last night's low 23F, today's high 42F.
There are three main ways I evaluate this project: 1. how well does the heater work, 2. how well is it sized to the space it's heating, and 3. how much is it reducing my wood consumption in that space.
The numbers give #1, the effectiveness of the design, high marks and I do also. On a btus/sq ft basis, it works really well.
In #2 it falls short. But I knew this would be the case. I wanted to build it twice the height but decided there wasn't room for that. At 2'x12" it's undersized for the space, so it can only carry the heat load requirements in the shoulder seasons. On the other hand, it's putting btus into the basement on days where previously none would have been (weekends and holidays), and that is a definite plus.
All that being the case, it is still going to put a significant dent into the wood use downstairs. Here we are at the end of November, and I have only had 5 small fires in the X33 to take a morning chill off. Last year at this time, I was burning a couple loads a day on workdays.
So, overall I'm very pleased with it. There are still improvements to be made. The outdoor vent pipes could be better insulated. At some point, a quieter fan would be nice. And in the back of my mind, I'm thinking this unit could perhaps be put on the roof and piped into the bedroom on the north end, and I'll find a way to put a larger unit in its place...
That's great. How about some current numbers. Or are you still measuring them.
Precaud, glad to see you're still at this.
Do you think there might be a benefit to boxing in/insulating the intake/exhaust runs to further reduce heat losses?
Would that create other problems for you?
Are you using schedule 30 or 40, and I wonder if it would make a difference in heat retention?
This is VERY interesting stuff.
karl, my data logger went on the fritz right after the last set I took, and I haven't found time to fix it yet.
Hi Dave, yes I think there would be real benefit to that. An yes, there is a problem with it, the vent pipes run right next to the only outdoor water outlet, which I can't block access to.
Sorry, I don't know what that is, pls explain.
Sorry, referring to the pvc pipe.....schedule 30 is thin wall and schedule 40 is thicker.
I thought I saw an outdoor spigot.
It's the thinner wall pvc, used for sewer pipe. My thought was, pipe area was more important than thickness. In hindsight, it would have been better to go bigger than 4", but I didn't see any pvc larger than that.

Alto Clarinet in Eb from Vltava (Die Moldau) (Clarinet Choir)
Vltava is a famous piece of programme music describing the course of the river Vltava from its gentle rippling origins, through rapids and past landmarks as it builds in intensity. Smetana's score is rich and there is plenty to do for all. The dynamics are as in the original, somewhat overdone, and what you see as a dynamic change is often more an indication of phrasing so treat with caution.
Arranged for large ensemble - 2 Ebs (with alternative Bb parts provided), 5 Bbs, 1 Alto (with alternative Bb part), 2 Basses and optional Contra Alto and Contra Bass, so minimum requirements are 8 Bbs and 2 Basses.

General Comments
If you like chess then Nokia Chess Puzzle is a good game...if you don't then it's not for you. The only time I ever play it is when I'm sick and tired of bounce.
It's also really repetetive.
