ern Europe the Jews feel a barrier against their future. The only answer is some opportunity, some opening to get out. If some haven of refuge were open to the Jews where they could find their own means or their own labor create a new life for themselves, it would not be an exaggeration to say that at least a half million Jews would move out from the places where they are to some other place tomorrow. There is the Diaspora on one side, and on the other side, divided by a wall, is the Land of Promise.
"How many Jews can get out of the trap in which they find themselves? The only door which represented a hope and opportunity to them in 1917 remains practically, so far as they are concerned, a closed door which, to enter, you have to fight all the devices of administration and regulations of the British government.
"From the day that the Balfour Declaration was issued, the government and its bureaucracy has been making use of every device known to the legalistic mind to keep the Jews out of Palestine, and if these were not sufficient to keep them out, then the law was changed.
"The Zionist movement is interested in breaking down that wall. There is no reason in law or logic or humanity why there should be a barrier between the Jew and the place where he wants to find refuge.
"Every effort must be made on the part of the Zionist administration, the Jewish Agency, and by the Jews throughout the world by means of protest to bring about the reduction of that wall. The mandate given to England states specifically that because of the persecution and the homelessness of the Jews, they must be provided with a place, and the League decided that the place must be Palestine. Now, after fourteen years of enforcement of the law, after fourteen years of holding the mandate, it becomes almost impossible to discern from the action of the government that the purpose of the mandate is even known in government circles.
"We should call an all-Jewish conference dedicated to the purpose of establishing direct contact with the mandatory government with the permission of the executive of the Jewish Agency in order to make vocal our demands. We would then command the attention of the world. Through this conference we would be able to break down the wall."
An ovation was accorded Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, who greeted the assembly. Reviewing the struggles of leaders in the Zionist movement during the past fifty years, Mr. Warburg pointed out that "for the first time we have had non-Jews assist us in our work, and McDonald, as High Commissioner, and his Committee of the League of Nations, are commanding high respect and sympathy in quarters where we have not been able to arouse any cooperation."
Mr. Warburg paid tribute to members of the Zionist organization. "My admiration goes out to you for your steadfastness of purpose and your patient watching of the fighters of problems, as they at times were sick of wounds inflicted by foe and also friends—stabbed in the back many a time when least expected.
"Out of the Palestine experiment has issued a most valuable necessity. What other country is there where, for the disenfranchised Jews, a hopef# future can be envisioned?
"My joy today lies in the fact that we stand allied together helping each other, in unselfish cooperation in a joint enterprise, not Zionist and non-Zionist, but allied agencies, with less and less politics and more and more policies; fewer executives and more execution."
Referring to proposals to enlarge the scope of the Zionist movement, Mr. Warburg expressed accord with the plan. "For my part," he declared, " I should greatly welcome such a development, as I would welcome the cooperation of every element that has a constructive approach to Jewish community work. Every Jew worthy of the name is interested in protecting the rights of Jews of other lands who do not share the blessing of liberty and free economic opportunity that are ours. Every Jew who keeps his identity with his people is eager to help other Jews less favorably situated than himself.
"But our first concern as American Jews," he continued, "must be to conserve the Jewish life in our community, to keep alive the traditions and the values which have contributed so much to humanity in the past and will continue to contribute to humanity—as long as we shall be permitted to do so. There is much to be done in our midst. There is need to strengthen Jewish education. We must protect the foundations of Jewish relief activities. It is important that Jewish adults as well as children have a better conception of the purpose of the Jewish community. For these various tasks we have need of people of enthusiasm, devotion and idealism. Surely there could be no finer addition to the ranks of those workers than the Zionist. Those of us who do not share your particular outlook upon the future of the Jewish people nevertheless will be happy indeed to work with you to assure you the preservation of the truths upon which all of us were nurtured."
Declaring that the major task of fund-raising has evolved upon the Jews of America, Mr. Rothenberg pointed out that "we cannot think of relaxing our efforts in fund-raising, the need for which has been sharpened by the tragedy of German Jewry."
To aid in achieving Zionist aims, he told the convention, the Zionist organization "must extend its propaganda, revitalize its official organ of expression, create and disseminate Zionist literature, extend its work in winning public opinion for its just demands. It must enlarge its affiliated forces. That this cannot be done from the revenue secured from dues is obvious. I earnestly urge this convention to consider methods of providing the means for the execution of a program that will give new vitality to the Zionist Organization and the opportunities for increased service to our cause.
Making it clear that "Zionism aims not merely to secure a place of refuge for those of our faith seeking to escape persecution, but also to provide for the Jewish people the opportunity of a free, creative life and to reproduce its national culture," Mr. Rothenberg outlined the five lines along which he recommended activity by the organization.
"The first objective," he said, "is the creation of a fixed center for the Jewish nationality in Palestine by participating in the cultural and spiritual development of the Jews everywhere." The second, Mr. Rothenberg declared, is "a sustained program of education of production and dissemination of Zionist literature."
Zionist interest in American Jewish community life was outlined as the third objective. "The Zionist movement," Rothenberg asserted, "should be eager to assume whatever responsibility such recognition (a recognition that Palestine constitutes part of the program of organized Jewish community life in America) entails, not only in the interest of a better appreciation of its aims and accomplishments, but also as an opportunity to contribute to the development of self-respecting, dignified Jewish community life in America."
Stimulation and maintenance of Jewish youth organizations formed the fourth point in Mr. Rothenberg's program, and "vigilance against the introduction of assimilationist influence in American community life" the fifth. "The Zionist Organization," Mr. Rothenberg said, stressing the last point, "nationally and through its local units must be equally vigilant and vigorous in combatting and avertting tendencies which are detrimental to values for the preservation of the Jewish people."
Speaking at the evening session of the convention, Ludwig Lewisohn, noted author, declared that the fact that the tragic situation of German Jewry has made many people pro-Zionist who were not so before was "praiseworthy but not enough." Other speakers include Berl Locker, labor Zionist leader who arrived from the Poale Zion-Zerei Zion convention in Chicago, and Maurice Samuel, lecturer.
"Zionism, at its best and profoundest," Lewisohn said, "is a total philosophy of life for the Jew, including the psychological, the sociological and even the metaphysical aspects of his being and including a proper interpretation of the Jewish religion as the eternal necessary symbol of the historic being of Israel, both past and future."
After quoting passages from some of the eminent thinkers in the development of Zionism, Lewisohn gave a brief outline of what he conceived to be the fundamental trend in Jewish feeling and thought about the totality of things.

Istanbul - Jailed Kurdish militant leader Abdullah Ocalan will call a ceasefire at the Kurdish New Year in March, moving forward a peace process with Turkey aimed at ending his group's 28-year-old insurgency, media reports said on Monday.
Ocalan, head of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), has been holding peace talks with Turkey since last October and met a delegation of Kurdish politicians at the weekend to discuss the negotiations.
At those talks, on the island of Imrali near Istanbul, he signalled the PKK may release Turkish state officials it is holding, according to a statement read by the politicians. Several newspapers on Monday reported details of a timetable to end a conflict which has killed more than 40 000 people.
"Ocalan will make a ceasefire call to the PKK at Newroz for a lasting peace," the liberal Radikal daily said, referring to the March 21 Kurdish New Year. The Yeni Safak newspaper, which is close to the government, carried a similar report. They did not disclose their sources.
Only a few Turkish officials are familiar with details of the negotiations and MPs from the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) who visited Ocalan on Saturday only conveyed the brief statement from the PKK leader.
"My health is good but I am getting old. I want to see peace before I die," the Milliyet daily quoted Ocalan, 63, as saying in Imrali where he has been held in virtual isolation since his capture in 1999.
The timetable for ending the conflict envisages a gradual withdrawal of several thousand militants from Turkey after the ceasefire call and Yeni Safak said the PKK fighters would begin leaving Turkey between March and June.
In return the government is expected to push through reforms extending the rights of a Kurdish minority numbering around 15 million out of a total population of 76 million. Last week the government sent to parliament a penal reform bill which is expected to result in the release of some of the thousands of Kurdish activists who are currently on trial accused of links to the PKK.
The PKK, which is designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and European Union, launched its insurgency in 1984 with the aim of carving out a Kurdish state in southeast Turkey but it has moderated its goal to limited self-rule.
A 21-page record of the talks between Ocalan and the BDP was delivered to the PKK leadership in the Qandil mountains of northern Iraq on Saturday night and Ocalan's 61-page peace plan was being delivered to the PKK separately, Yeni Safak said.
It added that the PKK was expected to release several security personnel and officials which it holds this week, while its fighters in Turkey were ordered to keep away from military areas. There was no immediate comment from the PKK.
The PKK holds nine people, including soldiers and civil servants, according to the Diyarbakir-based Human Rights Association. - Reuters

text: Symptoms and causes By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Symptoms Adrenal glandsAdrenal glandsPerched on top of each of your kidneys, your adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure and other essential functions. Although small, these glands dictate much of what happens in your body. Signs and symptoms of neuroblastoma vary depending on what part of the body is affected. Neuroblastoma in the abdomen — the most common form — may cause signs and symptoms such as: Abdominal pain A mass under the skin that isn't tender when touched Changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation Neuroblastoma in the chest may cause signs and symptoms such as: Wheezing Chest pain Changes to the eyes, including drooping eyelids and unequal pupil size Other signs and symptoms that may indicate neuroblastoma include: Lumps of tissue under the skin Eyeballs that seem to protrude from the sockets (proptosis) Dark circles, similar to bruises, around the eyes Back pain Fever Unexplained weight loss Bone pain When to see a doctor Contact your child's doctor if your child has any signs or symptoms that worry you. Mention any changes in your child's behavior or habits. CausesIn general, cancer begins with a genetic mutation that allows normal, healthy cells to continue growing without responding to the signals to stop, which normal cells do. Cancer cells grow and multiply out of control. The accumulating abnormal cells form a mass (tumor). Neuroblastoma begins in neuroblasts — immature nerve cells that a fetus makes as part of its development process. As the fetus matures, neuroblasts eventually turn into nerve cells and fibers and the cells that make up the adrenal glands. Most neuroblasts mature by birth, though a small number of immature neuroblasts can be found in newborns. In most cases, these neuroblasts mature or disappear. Others, however, form a tumor — a neuroblastoma. It isn't clear what causes the initial genetic mutation that leads to neuroblastoma. Risk factorsChildren with a family history of neuroblastoma may be more likely to develop the disease. Yet, familial neuroblastoma is thought to comprise a very small number of neuroblastoma cases. In most cases of neuroblastoma, a cause is never identified. Complications Spread of the cancer (metastasis). Neuroblastoma may spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, bone marrow, liver, skin and bones. Spinal cord compression. Tumors may grow and press on the spinal cord, causing spinal cord compression. Spinal cord compression may cause pain and paralysis. Signs and symptoms caused by tumor secretions. Neuroblastoma cells may secrete certain chemicals that irritate other normal tissues, causing signs and symptoms called paraneoplastic syndromes. One paraneoplastic syndrome that occurs rarely in people with neuroblastoma causes rapid eye movements and difficulty with coordination. Another rare syndrome causes abdominal swelling and diarrhea.

The interesting thing about this model is that it had a muzzell velocity of over 2100 fps. Today I am trying to find that brand and model for a friend who is into pellet rifles.

The Department
The Department of Management is now located in Block K, Ilam Apartments, Homestead Lane. The reception area for all student enquiries is now located on the ground floor of Block K.

Email: email@example.com
The obligation of the Department is to create an environment in which you can learn new ideas and critically analyse those ideas. Your responsibility is to take advantage of the experiences offered. We invite you to explore and expand your knowledge about people, ideas, and academic disciplines.
The Department of Management, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship offers a wide selection of specialist subject areas including: Strategic Management, Human Resources Management, Manufacturing & Operations Management, Management Science/Operations Research, Organisation Theory, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour, and Leadership. This variety of subject areas makes possible an interdisciplinary approach to business education which is the hallmark of a world-class business school.
The Department offers mainstream courses dealing with the fundamental ideas of a subject area rather than courses that have a specific application. Our aim is to give students the knowledge and skills with which they can analyse particular applications. We believe that general concepts which are adaptable to specific situations are more appropriate for a rapidly changing world.
The Department engages in relevant scholarship. Relevant scholarship is a tension between scholarship, which is theoretical, and relevancy, which is practical. This tension is manifested in both departmental teaching and research. You will notice that courses attempt to balance theory and application. Some courses appear theoretical - MSCI 101 aims to present "systems concepts" but uses everyday examples for student assignments. Other courses appear to be singularly practical. MKTG 302 is based on "market research for a real client", however, the project is only possible with a thorough understanding of the theory underlying Marketing.
Teaching and Learning Methods
Diversity is evident in the mixture of traditional and innovative teaching situations. Courses may differ in how ideas are presented; the use of audio/visual aids, written material, or computer software. Assessments may be take-home tests or group research projects. Practical skills such as oral presentations, production-line problems, and team-work tasks are part of the variety of tutorial sessions. Teaching styles vary as do learning styles. You are encouraged to reflect on the mechanics of your own learning style. Student diversity is also evident in students who come to university for a variety of reasons, from a variety of backgrounds, with a variety of skill levels, and with a variety of goals.

Hawks transformation shows first class coaching
While Wollongong Hawks fans are celebrating a crucial win over the Melbourne Tigers on the weekend, coach Gordie McLeod is pleased about something more significant.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
How he and his assistants Matt Flinn and Eric Cooks have managed to orchestrate cohesion and success with the team's ever-changing roster is a monumental coaching achievement.
McLeod goes into this Saturday's game against Townsville with two players he hadn't met at the start of the season.
He's also had to deal with 7 of his 11 men being sidelined with injuries at some point in the season, some of them permanently.
Until recently, most of the bad luck has gone the Hawks' way, meaning McLeod has been nursing an extensive injured roster while other teams have fared better.
And so while the Hawks beating recently third-placed Melbourne in Victoria bodes well for the team's playoff hopes, it's also a win for a team that's had to keep its head above water during numerous tests.
"It's [staying competitive] been a struggle as you'd expect, but the guys have worked extremely hard and the challenge for everyone is to try and find a new way to play," McLeod said.
"We need to try and accelerate that development to stay in the hunt.
"From the start of the season we laid the foundation [with consecutive wins] and in the middle, even when we lost players, we stayed competitive - we've lost four games in over time."
He says by keeping the majority of last season's roster, the team has a nucleus that's been able to steady the ship despite losing significant players.
"When you lose three players it's a big hole and it's a credit to the rest of the group with what they've been able to do," he said.
You can always rely on the Wollongong coach for modest commentary on how his team's faring, and Gordie McLeod was typically circumspect about how the Hawks have handled their challenges.
"It's about making that weekly improvement, and when your personnel changes you have to change the way you play," he said.
"It's about how you attack other teams offensively with the players you have, and using them in more minutes."
Case in point is the often-explosive Adris Deleon, who now plays the majority of the game with fellow guards Lance Hurdle and Rhys Martin out for the season.
The New York guard has relished the extra game time and responsibility, pouring in 31 points against the Tigers on the weekend.
The win on Saturday saw Wollongong jump from equal fourth to third position, with a win from the Sydney Kings pushing Melbourne ruthlessly out of the top five.
Such is the congestion of the NBL ladder - there are eight teams, and they're all capable of beating each other.
Even grand final favourites Perth were beaten on the weekend by sixth-placed Cairns.
"We head off to Townsville this week, and every game is a big game throughout the year, but at the end of the season you run out of games to get a spot in the playoffs," McLeod said.

A meteorite trail was seen over Urals city of Chelyabinsk, Russia on February 15, 2013. Stricken by a sudden cosmic attack, people panicked and around 400 of them were injured. Most of them sought medical help because of light injuries caused by flying glass, Chelyabinsk city authorities said.
According to the news, a meteorite sent fireballs and space debris crashed to Earth which smashed windows and set off car alarms , injured locals and mobile phones worked only intermittently. Residents of Chelyabinsk heard an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt a shock wave as reported by a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 1,500 kilometers east of Moscow. Some people say it felt like apocalypse. So December 21 is not really the end of the world. Would it be February 15, 2013?

Apethorp Hall for sale
Downton Abbey is one of the most successful British television dramas of the year. Fans now have the chance to live out their dreams of the high life in a historic property coming up for sale.
Apethorpe Hall, a British manor with no less than 48 rooms, has gone onto the market for a "bargain" price of 2.5 million pounds . There's only one problem – it doesn't have a bathroom.
The Daily Mail reports that the house was originally built between 1470 and 1480 by Sir Guy Wolston, then sold to Sir Walter Mildmay. It reportedly stayed in his family for 350 years. In more recent years, the house has been owned by the Catholic Church and Libyan millionaire Wanis Mohammed Burweila. The new owner of the house , located in Northamptonshire, England, should probably be able to afford to install a few modern amenities. However in common with any historic building, there are bound to be certain restrictions on developing a piece of property first constructed several hundred years ago.
As well as not having a bathroom, the house comes with a few other catches: an annual £100,000 maintenance bill and a requirement that the hall be open to the public for at least 28 days a year.
The government reportedly spent more than £4 million renovating the house, which had fallen into disarray over the years and was at one time "on the brink of ruin."
Castle Heaton for sale
More castles have been built in the border county of Northumberland than in any other county in England because of the habit of its Scottish neighbours in times gone by to invade this most Northern part of England.
The launch of the 1,229-acre Castle Heaton and Shellacres estate at Cornhill-on-Tweed, 12 miles from the border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, at a guide price of over £11.5 million' through local estate agents illustrates the revival of the market by leading local landowners. In a small number of castles for sale it has a bumper asking price which , if achieved, will set a record for recent years in the North-East.Land values have never been as strong in this part of the country, and we're seeing an increasing number of buyers moving up from the South to re-invest, and live in and enjoy all that we have to offer in this part of the world.
With its rich mix of history, heritage, sporting assets and farming know-how, Castle Heaton has much to intrigue a discerning sporting incomer. The estate, which sits either side of the River Till, a tributary of the Tweed, is being sold either as a whole, or in two lots. The main residential element, on the west bank of the Till, comprises Castle Heaton House and gardens, its adjacent Granary House and Tower, four stone cottages, an arable and grassland farm, a pheasant shoot and a very private beat of salmon and sea-trout fishing-638 acres in all-and is on offer at a guide price of 'excess £6.15m'.
Castle Heaton House is a substantial 19th-century stone and slate building-extensively refurbished and upgraded in 1992-with three reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room, a nursery, six bedrooms and four bathrooms. The Granary House, on the west side of the gardens, was partially demolished and converted in 1998 to create an annexe to the main house, with one main reception room, a kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is attached to a castellated tower currently being modernised to provide a large, open-plan reception room with a high vaulted roof, an en-suite double bedroom and kitchen area.
A range of traditional 16th- and 17th-century stone farm buildings beside the main house includes a much earlier buttressed stone barn, listed Grade II*, which contains the remains of the original late-medieval Heaton Castle, built in 1415-possibly by Sir Thomas Grey-and destroyed in 1496 by the Scots and James IV. In the 1580s, a dispute arose between the Grey family and the Crown as to who should bear the cost of repairing the castle, as a result of which nothing at all was done.
On the east side of the river, 590-acre Shellacres is a first-class farming estate in an area renowned for its arable farming, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most wheat harvested in eight hours-551.6 tons. The estate agent for this property has been inundated with enquiries
New English castles database published
A new database allows searchers to look for castles by postcode in England . Details of England's national heritage from protected shipwrecks to listed lamp-posts are being made easily available to the public for the first time with a new online database.
English Heritage has launched the National Heritage List for England which it claimed was "a significant milestone towards achieving better understanding and protection for heritage in this country".
It lists all 400,000 listed buildings, parks, gardens, battlefields, shipwrecks and scheduled monuments. And for the first time, the public will be able to search by postcode, by age or by categories from coal-mines to castles.
The database launch came as English Heritage came as it announced priorities from now until 2015 in the light of a 32 per cent cut in its Government grant.
Work still going ahead include vital repairs to Kenwood House in north London and a major advice service to councils who are selling off public buildings such as town halls and libraries because of their own budget cuts.

- Dana
Apr 21, 2010 - My West Coast daughter found Dana for me, on this site, five years ago. I resisted at first because Cambridge isn't so convenient for me, but I'm so glad I finally succumbed to her pressure. I've had nothing but great haircuts for five years now, and I'll follow Dana anywhere! I work full-time and work out a lot, and I need to be able to make quick transitions between activities. Since Dana, my hair is drip-dry, wash-n-wear, and always looks great. I shower in the morning, towel-dry my hair, and jump in the car. Some days I realize half-way through the day at work that I never combed it out, but it still looks good. For the first time in my life, I actually get complements on my hair! I've had my curls both short and long, and Dana has been great for me with both styles. I've convinced friends and relatives to use him, too. (My stepsister actually drove 3-1/2 hours from Upstate New York for a number of years, until gas prices went sky high.) The shop is funky and fun. I hope it will be there for me for a very long time.

Sign up for our weekly email * Egyptian online activists, who claim not to be politically alligned, have set up a website named "Morsi Meter" to ensure that their newly elected president stays in line with his election promises. The website claims to be launched in order to track Mohammed Morsi's first 100 days in office and includes two meters, one counting the days of his presidency and the other counting which of his 64 election promises he has fulfilled. Since Mursi has not yet taken office, both counters currently read "0". A Facebook page has also been created with the same name in order to publicise the website and allow users to interact with updates to the site. The idea has already gained recognition with tens of thousands of "likes" on Facebook. This can perhaps be attributed to the activist Wael Ghonim, who tweeted the website to his 500,000 followers. The benefits the service provides have also been praised by the blogger Wessam el-Beih, who tweeted that the "Morsi Meter is an excellent initiative to promote accountability".

Bronze firing pin?

Those double link Colts, and some others (e.g., the Webley 1913) in that general period, did have bronze firing pins, and the ones you got from Numrich are Colt originals, not repros. I am not sure why brass/bronze was used, but it may have been out of concern for a firing pin rusting in place with the corrosive primers and the powder fouling of the time.
FWIW, I didn't think beryllium copper existed in 1903, but some single actions of the 1960 era had parts like the cylinder stop made from that material. It was touted as a miracle metal, but proved too soft for any part that would take an impact.
On that repro pistol, I suspect the firing pin is of some light weight material used to avoid installing a firing pin block. If a 1911 type with the chamber loaded is dropped on the muzzle, the standard firing pin can creep forward and fire the round. This condition was unknown prior to the use of full length guide rods, since in the original pistol the barrel and slide would move back, absorbing the shock. But with a FLGR, there is nothing to absorb the blow and the gun can fire. California rules say an auto has to be made not to fire under that condition, so Colt and other makers worked up firing pin blocks to prevent a problem caused by the FLGR. So a phoney solution to a non-existent problem caused a real problem and ended up costing every gun buyer money.

BWW Reviews: Oregon Shakespeare Festival's ROMEO AND JULIET Brings This Classic to Life
Have you heard of this…Oregon Shakespeare Festival? If you have then you're probably one of the roughly 125,000 that travel to Ashland during the course of the year to take part in OSF. If you haven't then…wait, really? You haven't? Hmm…I'm sure you have. This is awkward, let's move on.
Some quick knowledge concerning the fest, OSF has been running since 1935 and is home to the oldest existing full-scale Elizabethan stage in the Western Hemisphere. The festival is an eight-month season of 11 plays, and doesn't actually limit itself to only Shakespeare productions. In fact, seven of the 11 productions during the season are by classic or contemporary playwrights not Shakespeare. First play I ever saw there, years ago, was RAISIN IN THE SUN. Can't wear white shoes now. Thanks for that, OSF.
But enough jibber-jabber, let's talk shows. Playing right now is ROMEO AND JULIET; ANIMAL CRACKERS; MADEA/MACBETH/CINDERELLA; TROILUS AND CRESSIDA; PARTY PEOPLE; HENRY V; THE VERY MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, IOWA; AS YOU LIKE IT; and the eclectic performance interludes of the GREEN SHOW. I was able to get down to Ashland and catch ROMEO AND JULIET as well as HENRY V, hoping to keep in true form to the OSF's middle name. So thus follows Part One of Broadway World's two-part Oregon Shakespeare Festival review:
Treatments of Shakespeare. That's the most interesting thing when discussing the Bard. You can draw out meaning until the end of time, you can talk about who performed it best, the exhaustive way in which these texts cover the English language, you can talk about the what for a long, long time and it's worth it. But I think we're all pretty familiar with ROMEO AND JULIET, so let's look at the how.
The OSF production of ROMEO AND JULIET is set in California, when the United States was wrestling control of the California territory away from Mexico, just after Spain had released control themselves. ROMEO AND JULIET in Spanish?! Buckle up. But truthfully, you'll be surprised at how the story places fairly seamlessly in the stead of Italy. Both the Italian and Mexican/Spanish cultures share the tradition of large, patriarchal families, as well as a heady machismo that allows for rivalry and conflict between youths (forgive my stereotyping). There is a vein of showmanship and performance that seems to run throughout the narrative quite naturally (think Mercutio and his speeches), and the Mexican/Spanish persona on the stage responds actively to that vein. Plus…romance. It just fits, is what I'm sayin'.
The Spanish California setting re-awakens some of this material by glossing it with a fresh brush. Sometimes that's all it takes to make an old story come to life again. Crafting characters with a different sort of fire, a different voice (in language or even just dialectically), is good. It's worthwhile and completely effective in providing a fresh angle for the audience. Wakes you up, makes you pay attention. But it is a fairly superficial change. I can only cite two instances when dropping into the Spanish language is used as an effective stylistic choice instead of being used on a throwaway phrase, and one of those successful instances is the opening chorus, so there's still a lot of play left for opportunity.
The second target this shift seems to be aiming for is a new relationship dynamic between the native families and the insurgent 'law men'. The Prince of Verona is replaced with an American General, and Count Paris is replaced with Officer Paris of the American army. According to the liner notes, the dynamic in Juliet's pairing with Paris now becomes about ensuring the Capulet's security (and possibly safety) during a chaotic and potentially violent time in California. Angering General Prince with disruption of the peace becomes more dangerous, as his very physical presence is symbolic of America's threat to Mexico. It's an interesting premise. Did it show up? Well…the text doesn't really allow it to show up. For obvious reasons, the reading is just not there in the surface narrative. However, for those in the audience more intelligent than I, possessing full understanding of the Mexican-American War and its consequences, the subtext is probably clear.
My conclusion about the culture move as a whole is…it's fun. It's a cool way to spice things up for an audience. Does it add new readings or revelations? Not really. Which feels like a missed opportunity. It certainly doesn't lose anything by making the shift, though, so don't be a spoilsport. Enjoy the accents.
The second treatment aspect to discuss is the ham. And by that I mean the lively performances and not the swine. This could be a continuation of the culture shift, as Mexican/Spanish theater very regularly lends itself to animated performances, but I choose to read this as a stylistic decision on the part of the director, Laird Williamson. Everything is played up. Speech is played up, comedy is very played up. The penis jokes…so many penis jokes.
For the majority I would say it works, playing up the passions injects energy into a long play. Playing up the comedy juxtaposes the tragedy and makes the whole thing feel more like a journey. Let me give you two examples of 'the ham' working:
The Nurse, as a text character, can be annoying. She's overly-cautious, really clucky, and never asserts herself outside of servitude. However, here, she is played as comic-relief, going big on her eccentricities and old age, and suddenly she feels much more functional within the dynamics of the household. She feels more human, more like a part of the family, and a quantity in the life of Juliet. It works. The second 'ham' bit is in the frame of Romeo's initial love for Rosaline, which is a heavily debated matter that can be played a variety of ways, with a variety of readings. Is it honest or childish? Is it lust? How does this affect our view of Romeo when he switches so immediately to loving Juliet? In this production, Romeo's love for Rosaline is played as comic, it is the butt of jokes made by Romeo's friends, seemingly because they know this is just Romeo being Romeo. They know this isn't serious, which very effectively offers us a specific reading on Romeo as a character.
There are times, though, that this energy is wearying. Towards the end of the first half I just felt bombarded with shouting, like this production was afraid to be quiet for even just a moment. It's so full-on, all the time, that you want to stand up and say, "guys? Hey, doing a great job. Can we just time-out? For a second?". And luckily…there's your intermission.
The last treatment bit I'll touch on is the dynamic between Romeo and Juliet themselves. It's a very interesting series of choices. The first is that, in the text, Romeo gets most of the relatively bad poetry and Juliet gets all the really good stuff. Romeo's dialogue kind of shapes up towards the end, but in the beginning it's all really sappy and false. In this production, though, it's played quite the opposite. Romeo is played very straight and Juliet is played as incredibly false and childish. So what with Romeo being the fickle suitor that he is (Rosaline still with fresh bruises having been cast off so suddenly) and Juliet being not quite genuine, it feels like these are two children going through the motions of love, not really meaning it until the trauma of the world turning against them marries them like atoms in a collider. After that...both of them are really lovely in all areas.
Here's what that does to the narrative though: the satisfaction lies in the resolution of the family rivalry. The children are the act, their innocence forcing them into tragic circumstances, but the hate between the families is what feels real. You know what path Romeo and Juliet are on, and it's so familiar that it's able to be played as slightly comic, but Capulet and Montague are really trying to make things work for themselves and this rivalry just keeps complicating everything. So there's your real drama, and its resolution at the end feels much more important to me than it ever did in the original text.
I hope my rambling about how this production treated Shakespeare's most famous romance has moved you to make the trek down to Ashland and get your tickets. If it hasn't yet then let me just push you over The Edge: the production quality is world class, the acting is charismatic and explosive, and if it has inspired this much conversation in a humbug-critic such as myself then it tends to be worth seeing. Get your tickets! Oregon Shakespeare Festival!
And stick around for Part 2!
ROMEO AND JULIET plays through November 4th at the Angus Bowmer Theatre. For ticket information, click the link below:

People Rated Each Other from 1 to 10, and the Result Was Really Emotional
A heart-warming social experiment attempted to challenge insecurities by showing people that they are more successful than they think.
The video was created by Strayer University and Aplus, who asked people to rate their level of success on a scale from one to 10.
Their loved ones were then asked to do the same, and in all scenarios, told a different and entirely more positive story. Sometimes, we're our own toughest critics and don't always realize how much we really matter to the ones we love.

Pizza Hut® Takes Wingstreet® National By Offering America Free Wings If "Winged" Team Wins Men's Division 1 College Basketball Title
Sports personality Scott Van Pelt stars in ad campaign to announce award-winning WingStreet wings starting at $5
Mar 17, 2014, 09:30 ET from Pizza Hut
PLANO, Texas, March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For wing-loving basketball fans who think bellying up to a sports bar or picking up from a wing restaurant is the only way to get their hands on quality chicken wings during this year's men's basketball tournament, life just got a lot saucier.
Pizza Hut announced today that its WingStreet concept has been rolled out nationally, now present in more than 5,000 restaurants across America. That's right, a whole new chicken kitchen is available at Pizza Hut. Starting today, customers can get an order of eight WingStreet wings with choice of any sauce–starting at just $5 and have them delivered, just like their favorite Pizza Hut pizzas.
The award-winning WingStreet wings* are kitchen-fried and tossed with a choice of one of eight sauces to give customers a wing-joint-quality experience from America's largest pizza chain. The sauce flavors include: Buffalo Mild, Buffalo Medium, Buffalo Burnin' Hot, Spicy Asian, Spicy BBQ, Honey BBQ, Lemon Pepper and Garlic Parmesan. Consumers can also choose from several varieties of wings including Traditional, Bone-Out or Crispy Bone-In.
"People are serious about their wings, and the pizza category as a whole has not delivered a quality chicken product that consumers demand," said Jared Drinkwater, Senior Director of Marketing, Pizza Hut. "But that all changes now that our WingStreet wings are available in more than 5,000 Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide. We pride ourselves in being the only national pizza chain to offer delicious, kitchen-fried chicken wings with a variety of sauces that live up to what wing lovers want. And the fact that we'll deliver them to your door sets us apart from even the most respected wing joints in America."
Sportscaster and radio host Scott Van Pelt stars in the brand's new ad campaign that features wing experts in many forms, all searching for kitchen-fried, impeccably-sauced wings. In addition to starring in commercials, Van Pelt is helping Pizza Hut and WingStreet rally support of the brand's "winged" team challenge during the men's tournament. If a "winged" team takes home the title on April 7 – that's any team with a nickname or mascot with wings – America can come to participating locations to carry out a free sample four count of WingStreet wings on April 10 between 1-4 p.m. local time (while supplies last; offer details found at www.pizzahut.com/wingedmascotgiveaway.html).
With the challenge in place, wing aficionados and basketball fans could be in luck, as the first ever tournament title winner in 1939 boasted a wing mascot, as did last year's champion. This year there are 12 "winged" teams in the field, including several title contenders.
"I do this for a living, and I can tell you that there is a decent chance that a 'winged' team is cutting down the nets on April 7 in Dallas," said Van Pelt. "And let's be honest, the tournament and wings just go together. I know I'll have a few orders delivered as I tune in. I'm a fan of the Buffalo Medium – they're the real deal."
Throughout the tournament, Pizza Hut is also making daily free deliveries of WingStreet wings to select fans who tweet @PizzaHut using the hashtag #WingsDelivered. Details about the sweepstakes will be announced soon.
*WingStreet has won several awards, including: NY National Buffalo Wing Festival: 2nd Place Best Traditional BBQ Wing Sauce (2013), Best Medium Traditional Wing Sauce (2006, 2008, 2009), Best Hot Traditional Wing Sauce (2007); Atlanta Wing Festival: Best Medium Sauce and Best BBQ Sauce (2007); Denver Post: Best Take-Out Wings with Medium Sauce (2007); Nation's Restaurant News "Hot Concepts! Award" Honoree (2007).

Three Big Sales in Long Island City
Here are some notable LIC sales that popped up on public records since the beginning of the month. The first: the 141,800-square-foot warehouse at 30-02 48th Avenue, between 10th and 11th avenues. The records lead us to believe that the buyer is the Paramount Group, a Manhattan-based investment company. The cost was a hefty $21,000,000. DOB permits don't indicate that the warehouse will be converted to residential use, and it's unclear if there are still commercial tenants in the building. Anybody have background info on that one — is it possible this will go residential? The second sale is of a two-story parking garage on a 66,680-square-foot lot at 30-02 Borden Avenue, near Van Dam Street. The old listing says that the lot comes with a buildable 333,000 square feet, although it is zoned for manufacturing use. The price for that one: $2,500,000. Finally, a 9,200-square-foot lot at 27-01 Jackson Avenue sold for $11,600,000. According to another old listing, it's zoned for residential use and can accommodate up to 75,000-square-feet of residential space.

Two Ways to Play the Deepwater Renaissance
Deepwater oil and gas exploration is blowing up to previously unseen levels.
A recent Wood Mackenzie report concludes that current offshore deepwater drilling activity – in an upswing since the Deepwater Horizon disaster – is going to increase exponentially for many years to come.
Indeed, the amount of money spent on deep-sea wells is expected to grow from $43 billion today to more than $114 billion by 2022.
That's a 265% increase in less than 10 years.
Furthermore, the number of deepwater wells will balloon more than 150% – from 500 to more than 1,250 over that same time period.
This should come as no surprise.
As the consultants point out, deepwater rigs have historically accounted for 41% of all discovered oil – and have created more than $351 billion in value – surpassing shallow and onshore production by a sound margin.
For investors looking to take advantage of this growth in offshore activity – the most direct play would be companies specializing in deepwater drilling – the ones set to benefit directly from an increase in demand.
Companies like Atwood Oceanics (ATW), for instance.
Going Deep
We've written about Atwood before, as it's one of the fastest-growing companies in the deep-sea drilling business.
The company's fleet boasts five ultra-deepwater rigs, three deepwater submersibles and six jack-up rigs for shallow water drilling.
These rigs are operating not just in the Gulf of Mexico, but the Mediterranean, West Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia. And more are already being built to keep up with rising demand.
Increasing demand for drillers has allowed ATW to post some pretty impressive numbers.
The company just reported a 52% increase in second-quarter revenue, which climbed to $272.7 million. And net income for the quarter jumped more than 74% to $90 million.
Yet, as good as these numbers are – they could be getting a whole lot better.
Exclusive Content
MUST-SEE: Trump's Financial Disclosure Statement
This could be the biggest Obama "scandal" EVER…
It has to do with a secret that he and the Pentagon kept hidden at 9800 Savage Rd., Fort Meade, Maryland, for his ENTIRE presidency.
You won't want to miss THIS.
The CIA spends billions of dollars to keep scandalous stories under wraps. So we wouldn't be surprised if they wanted this page taken down immediately.
Click here for the shocking truth.
With an average day rate of roughly $650,000 for ultra-deepwater rigs, Atwood's new drill rigs represent potential revenue of more than $2.5 million per day – or an additional $912 million per year.
The stock currently sports a P/E ratio of 11, making it relatively cheap compared to the rest of the industry. And the mean analyst price target is $65 – a 16% premium to where shares currently trade.
Of course, with global demand skyrocketing, and the addition of the new rigs, you could expect to see even better performance.
A Diamond in the Rough
Another company to look at is Diamond Offshore (DO).
Like Atwood, Diamond Offshore provides contract deepwater drilling services for exploration and production wells.
DO's fleet is considerably larger than ATW's – with 12 ultra-deepwater rigs, seven deepwater rigs, 18 midwater rigs and one jack-up rig.
And like ATW, DO has also contracted for the construction of several new rigs, including four ultra-deepwaters and two deepwater semi-submersibles.
DO also posted a strong second quarter, with revenue of $758 million, compared to $738 million the year prior. Though net income per share was down to $1.33 per share, compared to $1.45 a year before, the four new deepwater rigs alone, at current day prices, could produce a sizable increase in revenue.
At $68, shares are trading just above the 52-week low of around $64. Short-term price targets of $72 would mean a modest bump of 5% from current levels.
But that's short term, and these two stocks aren't short-term plays. Both are strong, long-term plays on the growing global demand for deepwater drilling.
And both are in perfect position to milk that demand for all it's worth.
And "the chase" continues,
Tim Diering

Q. Is the TOEFL test score required?
A. A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 550 is required for students from countries where English is not the native language.
Q. What is the average Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score of Nicholls' accepted applicants?
A. The average score on the GMAT for Nicholls State University students is 478.
Q. My undergraduate grade point average was 2.8, what GMAT score do I need to apply?
A. You must score a 450. A minimum GMAT score of 450 is required for all applicants. In addition, applicants must meet either one of the following criteria:
- score at least 950 on the formula: GPA (from all undergraduate work) x 200 + GMAT total score
- score at least 1000 on the formula: GPA (from the last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework) x 200 + GMAT total score
Q. Can I transfer credits into the Nicholls MBA program?
A. The Nicholls Graduate School permits a maximum of nine graduate credits to be transferred into a degree program from another university. They are to be equivalent to the Nicholls courses and/or appropriate for the program. The semester of the earliest course transferred into the program marks the beginning of the seven years permitted to complete the degree.
Q. Can a person pass out of any course or skip courses due to years of experience?
A. Nicholls does not give credit for life experiences. If you have acquired the knowledge of a course, you can attempt to earn credit by examination.
Q. I have no college education but have been in management for 14 years. Can I be admitted into the MBA program?
A. No, all students must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university.
Q. My undergraduate grade point average is 3.95, and I have more than 10 years of business experience. Do I need to take the GMAT, GRE or any other exam?
A. Yes, the GMAT score is part of the admission data needed to determine what students are admitted into the program and is therefore required for all applicants.
Q. Can I enroll in graduate business classes as a non-candidate for a degree until I take the GMAT?
A. No, you must be enrolled in a degree program to be eligible to take graduate business courses from Nicholls. We require the GMAT score as part of the admission decision. If you were admitted into another Nicholls graduate program, you could take graduate business classes.

Obama invites House to confer -- but Republicans refuse to bring all their members
With progress still elusive on the ongoing government shutdown, President Obama is planning to meet with House lawmakers to discuss a path forward. The president plans to meet with House Democrats this afternoon and has invited Republicans to come to the White House as well. While the entire GOP conference was invited, Republicans said today that they would only be sending 18 members.

Harare - Zimbabwe police on Thursday arrested the editor of a state-owned newspaper, a colleague said, highlighting bitter rivalries within the ruling party.
Edmund Kudzayi, editor of the Sunday Mail, was "arrested this morning and police searched his office taking away electrical gadgets that include a laptop," an official at the paper told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Police were not available for comment.
Kudzayi was appointed editor of the paper two months ago but has incurred the wrath of the long-ruling President Robert Mugabe.
Earlier this month, Mugabe accused his information minister, Jonathan Moyo, of using his influence over the state media to attack rivals within the ruling ZANU-PF party, which is riven by divisions over who should succeed the ageing president.
Moyo has fallen in and out of favour with Mugabe since first becoming information minister in 2002. He was sacked in 2005 after being linked to a clandestine meeting held to discuss Mugabe's succession.
Since his recent re-appointment, Moyo has overseen the hiring of new editors at state newspapers and suspended the head of the state broadcaster.
The Zimbabwe Union for Journalist secretary general Foster Dongozi condemned the arrest of Kudzayi.
"ZUJ calls on the government to immediately reveal the reasons for detaining Kudzayi and why Muleya is being hunted," Dongozi said in a statement.
"We condemn the use of fear as a weapon to cow journalists."
Police are also reportedly looking for the editor of the weekly Zimbabwe Independent newspaper, Dumisani Muleya, a manager at the newspaper group said.
"Three detectives came to our offices asking for Muleya. They also wanted his mobile number and home address. I could not grant that request," Edith Kayinga, general manager at Alpha Media Holdings told the South African Mail and Guardian.

Did you come here by clicking on a link elsewhere on the internet entitled "MMA Allen TX", such as from a top listing on a search engine's search results page? More to the point, rather than being merely someone who is interested in MMA Allen TX, are you actually a member or a representative of a local Allen MMA school, and you performed a search for "MMA Allen TX" on your favorite search engine just to see if your Allen MMA school is at the top of the search engine's search results page for this search? If so, here's a question for you:
… and not months from now, but TODAY!
MMA Allen TX: Your MMA School's Information Or Website Can Be HERE!
Rather than pay an SEO professional for months' worth of SEO services to try to get your own MMA school's website to rank at the top of the search engines for the search phrase "MMA Allen TX", you can simply rent this web space from us! Since we've already done all the work for this page to be listed at the top of the search engines' search results, getting your Allen MMA school's information to the top couldn't be simpler, easier, faster or more affordable!!!
So, instead of anyone doing that search finding only this page advertising this section for rent, they can either find your school's information here with a link to your site, or they can actually find your site here! (That's right; since our page is already at the top, getting your company here is almost as fast as flipping a switch!)
Doesn't that idea make more sense than waiting to get your own site to the top?
Why Have Your MMA School's Information Or Website Here?
So why should you consider leasing this "MMA Allen TX" web space?
- Benefit immediately from the increase in traffic to your site (and more importantly, through the doors of your MMA school) that comes from being at the top of the search engines for the term "MMA Allen TX".
- Avail of the aforementioned benefits for far less than you would pay a search engine professional or online marketing firm to help you achieve the same thing (and in FAR less time than they could possibly get you to the top). Quite frankly, you will likely be extremely surprised at how reasonable the lease on this space can be – especially when you consider the benefits of your MMA school's information (or site) being here!
- Stop worrying about your internet presence and focus on your Allen, TX MMA school's operations!
By The Way…
As of the time this content is being written, based on the number of searches there were on Google alone for searches such as "MMA Allen TX", your MMA School would have anywhere from $3,000 to more than $10,000 in increased revenue as a result of the additional new sign-ups that would come from having your information or website here (depending, of course, on several factors, such as):
- how much you charge
- the reputation of your Allen MMA school
- how good your sales skills are
Again, will that increase in revenue be YOURS, or your competition's?
Want To Know More?
If you or your MMA school would like to avail of the increased business that would come from having your Allen TX MMA school's information or website here, please use the form and information in the "Contact" section of our website to reach out to us for more information. We look forward to hearing from you, and to helping you achieve your online marketing goals for a fraction of what it would otherwise cost you!

MIDLOTHIAN, Va., Oct. 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank of Virginia (the "Bank") (Nasdaq:BOVA) ( www.bankofva.com ), today announced a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its shares of common stock, which will be effected just prior to market open on October 4, 2012. The reverse stock split was previously approved by the Bank's shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 28, 2012. As a result of the reverse stock split, every five shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the opening of trading on October 4, 2012 will be consolidated into one issued and outstanding share. The reverse stock split reduces the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 15,494,849 shares to 3,098,970 shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares will be paid in cash. Proportional adjustments will be made to the Bank's outstanding stock options. The Bank's authorized shares will remain unchanged. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Bank's shares of common stock to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As previously announced, in order to maintain the Bank's listing on NASDAQ, on or before October 29, 2012, the Bank's common stock must have a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to October 29, 2012. There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have the desired effect of raising the closing bid price of the Bank's common stock prior to October 29, 2012, to meet this requirement. Trading of the Bank's shares of common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market will continue, on a split-adjusted basis, with the opening of the markets on Thursday, October 4, 2012, under new CUSIP number 06544P 203. The Bank's shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "BOVA".

J-Ves wrote:This is the classic "the team isn't doing well so assign blame to the one guy who doesn't deserve it" move.
I think he's correct to resist the move to power forward. He's one of the premiere perimeter defenders in the league and should be guarding the Jimmy Butlers, Demar Derozans, Wades, Lebrons, Hardens, etc. etc. of the league and not, say, the Kevin Love, Davis, Favors, Ibaka, type of players. I also think some of the criticisms of the Pacers roster are justified. Much of this year we were starting Thad Young and Monta Ellis and wondering why couldn't rebound or defend.
But I don't think it's correct to say he doesn't deserve any of the blame for our current situation. There are plenty of games this season where he hasn't played with the fire, the competitiveness, or elite scoring ability that you need from the supermax star player of the team. That example has to start with him, first and foremost. He came into this year wanting to demonstrate that he belongs in the same MVP conversation as the Lebrons, KDs, Westbrook, Hardens of the league. And he hasn't.
