ship funds to be completed in 3 to 5 months.

President Crowley stated that the committee studying fi-
nancial aids at UNR has submitted its report and recommenda-
tions, most of which will be effected administratively, and
also calling for a greater coordination between the finan-
cial aids and scholarship offices. Several recommendations
which could be implemented Systemwide were offered for con-
sideration by the Board, including asking the State of
Nevada to support a larger share of the burden of assuring
student accessability to Nevada institutions by:
a) establishing a State financed loan fund;
b) establishing a State scholarship and/or work-study
c) expanding tuition grants-in-aids to include grad-
uate and professional schools students; and
d) increasing tuition grants-in-aids to the full
cost of tuition.
The full report and recommendations are identified as Ref.
B and filed with permanent minutes.
8. Approval of the Report of the Budget Committee
Ms. Del Papa, Chairman, submitted the following report and
recommendations from the Budget Committee which met at
8:55 A.M., July 16, 1982:
(1) Recommended approval of the Estimative Budget for
Freshman English at UNR, which establishes funds to
be transferred from the Jot Travis Student Union
Capital Improvement Fee Funds for the hiring of lec-
turers for the Freshman English Program for 1982-83:
Opening Cash Balance $140,000
Professional Salaries 8.00 FTE $118,729
Fringe Benefits 18,968
Operating 2,303
Total $140,000
(2) Authorized that any current or future Foundation ap-
proved by the Board will set up a University account
in which interest will accrue to the benefit of the
Foundation. Although this is an exception to Regents'
policy, it will be advantageous to the University to
have this account established within the University
System rather than by the Foundation and totally out-
side the University structure.
(3) Approved the following Estimative Budget for the
Tottori English Language Institute program which is
being conducted at UNR for students from Japan:
Student Fees $30,500
Professional Salaries $ 5,900
Fringe Benefits 100
Operating 17,000
Out-of-State Travel 6,000
Ending Fund Balance 1,500
Total $30,500
(4) Tabled action on the distribution of Special Projects
Funds until the August meeting and asked that it be
placed on both the regular meeting and Budget Commit-
tee agendas.
Vice Chancellor Dawson had presented a list of proposed
projects requested by Presidents to be funded from the
Regents Special Projects Fund totalling $696,725. He
projected there would only by $600,000 which could be
distributed to Campuses for 1982-83. During meetings
with Presidents a formula, based on enrollment percent-
ages for Campuses and a professional FTE for DRI, had
been devised which they felt would be a fair and equi-
table solution for division of these funds.
Ms. Del Papa emphasized that approval of this spending
plan would only authorize the Presidents to plan and
prioritize their individual requests which would then
be submitted to Regents in August for decisions on
Mr. Buchanan strongly opposed this formula plan stat-
ing 1) that he felt this would take away the Regents'
authority in allocating Special Project Funds; 2) that
a greater amount should go to a specific project; i. e.
computer program at UNLV; and 3) that should a genuine
emergency arise later in the year, there would not be
funds available.
Ms. Del Papa stated that there would be a contingency
reserve left in the Special Projects Funds account.
Mr. Mc Bride reminded the Presidents that there is a
possibility that the Governor would ask for further
budget cuts in the Fall; and also that he thought
projects such as the TMCC request for tutors and
teacher aids for developmental labs should be funded
by fees in the same manner as the community service
President Crowley stated the formula plans would enable
the Presidents to be more responsible in financial
planning for the year, and further reminded the group
that Board policy has always been that the Special
Projects Funds were for items or projects that are not
likely to be a part of any legislative funding but
rather are for one-shot items, not on-going projects.
Mrs. Gallagher agreed that there should be more finan-
cial planning, but that the submitted plans must be
for crucial projects only, given the current economic
(5) New Business
(a) Approved an emergency item presented by President
Goodall requesting an exception to the purchasing
policy for football equipment in the amount of
$62,557.39. The Rebels Booster Club had ordered
the equipment, but now does not have the funds.
The UNLV Athletic Department does have sufficient
funds in their equipment budget, but, because the
order was placed without following State purchas-
ing guidelines of going to bid, an exception to
policy is necessary before State funds can be
Mr. Cashell requested an itemized list of the
equipment being purchased and further requested
that in the future, purchases made by the Boosters
for the Athletic Department should follow State
purchasing policy.
(b) Regent Mc Bride requested the Campus Presidents
to develop a general contingency financial plan
including a 5% budget cut for 1982-83 and an
additional 10% for fiscal year 1983-85.
(c) Regent Buchanan requested President Goodall to
report on the start-up costs for a comprehensive
Computer Science program at UNLV.
Mrs. Fong moved for approval. Mr. Karamanos seconded.
Motion carried. Mr. Cashell abstained.
9. Appointment of Director, Computer Center
Chancellor Bersi asked for approval of the appointment of
Dr. Lloyd Case as Director of the Computer Center, UNS,
effective July 1, 1982, at a salary of $52,930, Rank IV,
Step 20+.
Mrs. Gallagher moved for approval. Mr. Buchanan seconded.
Motion carried.
Mr. Cashell handed the gavel to Mr. Mc Bride, Vice Chairman
10. Approval of Statement of Repayment for Loan, UNR
President Crowley stated that the Board had previously
authorized UNR to make application for a low interest (at
3%) federal loan in the amount of $3,451,300 for the purpose
of constructing a co-generation plant which will realize
substantial savings in utilities costs. Interim Finance
Committee has subsequently approved the project and final
approval now awaits a statement from the Board insuring
that the loan will be repaid from these savings. The fol-
lowing statement was submitted for approval:
The University of Nevada Board of Regents pledges the
repayment of the Energy Conservation Project $3,451,300
Department of Education, College Housing 3% Loan from
the University of Nevada, Reno, Operating and Mainte-
nance Utility Budget.
Mrs. Fong moved for approval. Ms. Del Papa seconded.
Motion carried.
11. Salary Increases, TMCC
President Eardley requested salary increases for Dean Pat
Miltenberger and Dean Bert Munson due to added responsi-
bilities in assuming the administrative functions formerly
performed by Mr. David Wilkins, who, because of a recent
illness, has returned to teaching in the Math Department.
The decision was made not to fill the vacant position but
rather to seek increased salaries for the two Deans from
$41,369 to $42,650 commensurate with the reassigned duties.
Mrs. Whitley moved for approval. Ms. Del Papa seconded.
Motion carried.
Chairman Cashell resumed the gavel.
12. Custodian Contract, CCCC
The 3 lowest bids for the 1982-83 janitorial service con-
tract for the Cheyenne and Henderson Campuses of CCCC are
as follows:
Bekins Building Maintenance Company $135,107.04
Melba's Cleaning Service 139,676.04
United Maintenance Service, Inc. 141,400.00
President Eaton requested approval for an exception to the
purchasing regulations which states that bids be awarded the
low bidder, because of the performance record of the low
bidder. Melba's Cleaning Service has been used in the past
and has proven satisfactory.
Mrs. Fong moved for approval. Ms. Del Papa seconded.
Motion carried.
13. Approval of Amendment to Title 4, Chapter 4, Section 2, UNS
Chancellor Bersi recommended approval of the amendment to
Title 4, Chapter 4, Section 2 of the UNS Handbook which will
provide guidelines as to the professional employees of the
University of Nevada System and which applies the National
Fair Labor Standards Act guidelines. General Counsel also
strongly recommended the adoption.

Motion carried.
14. New Business
a) Mrs. Fong presented a request from the Chamber of Com-
merce of Las Vegas for a 4-year scholarship for the

gency item from WNCC regarding the awarding of a bid.
Ms. Del Papa moved for approval for consideration. Mrs.

struction of faculty housing and fencing at the Fallon
Campus, plus authority to spend an additional $7,831
from the WNCC Capital Improvement Fund. $67,992 was
formerly approved by the Board; however, the low bid
required $7,831 in order to complete the project. Bids
were opened on July 15, 1982 and approval at this time
would save one month's delay on construction time.

ed. Motion carried.
c) Mrs. Whitley asked President Goodall for a status re-
port on the matter concerning Ms. Hannah Gleason of
the Social Work Department at UNLV. President Goodall
reported that apparently there would be no federal funds
to support the programs, that he was reviewing UNLV
budgets to determine whether they could continue the
programs in all University Departments similarly affect-
ed. Ms. Gleason has been given a leave of absence for
a 2-month period so that fringe benefits would continue.
Mr. Cashell asked for a report to the Regents outlining
the facts of the case, but to also include other per-
sonnel at UNLV similarly affected. It was pointed out
that there are some 220 employees in the System on
"soft money" which would require some $4.8 million in
salary costs.
d) Dr. Eaton introduced Ms. Bridgett Jones, President of
the Associated Students at Clark County Community
Meeting adjourned at 11:05 A.M.

Acting Secretary of the Board

Sept. 11, 2011GUTIERREZ ARCHIVE
RAIDERS PAGE RAIDERS VIDEOFollow @PGutierrezCSN
Paul Gutierrez
CSNCalifornia.comALAMEDA -- Al Saunders has been around some of the more explosive offensives in the history of professional football.He was a ball boy for the deep-throwing Al Davis-coached Raiders in 1963.RELATED: Boss, Murphy, Mitchell out for Raiders' opener
He had a front row seat for Air Coryell in San Diego in the early 1980s.He was one of the architects of the St. Louis Rams' Greatest Show on Turf at the turn of the century.And yet, when it comes to this current batch of Raiders...
"We didn't have this kind of speed in St. Louis," Saunders said. "We had some great football players that played fast. But pure speed? This is a special group."The Raiders' first-year offensive coordinator is not known for hyperbole. Saunders is a respected straight shooter. So if he says the likes of Raiders speedsters Darren McFadden, Taiwan Jones, Jacoby Ford and Darrius Heyward-Bey could outrun the Super Bowl champion Rams of Marshall Faulk, Az-Zahir Hakim, Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce, well then, you should listen.But really, what does it all mean? Because at the end of the day, the game is football. Not a sprint heat. It's about scoring points, not braggadocio over 40-times, right?RELATED: Jackson won't reveal Raiders' punt return
Well, the Raiders have put a premium on speed for decades. Cliff Branch, anyone? The aptly-named James Jett?Oakland has drafted the fastest player at the past three Combines in cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke (4.28 in the 40) this April, Ford (4.28) in 2010 and Heyward-Bey (4.30) in 2009.A San Francisco Chronicle survey showed the Raiders boasting eight players on their roster who have run at least a 4.36 40-time, with McFadden (4.33), cornerback Stanford Routt (4.27), running back Taiwan Jones (4.33), safety Tyvon Branch (4.31) and suspended rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor (4.36) joining Al Davis' Need-for-Speed party.Heyward-Bey said the Raiders could have two 4x100 relay teams, but insisted he run the second-leg, rather than an anchor."I think that's the fastest guy, (the one who) runs the second leg," he said. "I'm a track guy, you know."As such, Heyward-Bey was quick to say he was the fastest on the team. So, too, did McFadden. Safety Michael Huff, meanwhile, said Jones was "probably the fastest man" he'd ever seen. While Ford took the high road."I'd probably say we were all the fastest," he said. But when he heard of the smack talk being run around the locker room, Ford stood up for himself.Of course, the only way to settle it would be in a straight Donovan Bailey vs. Michael Johnson-syle sprint, right?"For giggles," Heyward-Bey said of any race, "it would have to be in the offseason. You don't want nobody to get hurt, pull a hammy or anything like that. So, we'll probably never know."(But) tell Jacoby I said I'm the fastest."Heyward-Bey was barely smiling.Maybe he knew that while speed may equal scoring, it did not necessarily translate into championships. Maybe not.But consider: not one of the teams with the current top four scoring seasons in NFL history -- the 2007 New England Patriots (589 points), the 1998 Minnesota Vikings (556), the 1983 Washington Redskins (541) or the 2000 Rams (540) -- won the Super Bowl in that specific season.And yet, the Raiders were making like Maverick and Goose in one of the most seminal moments of "Top Gun" in that they feel the need, the need for speed."It's like we can have a track meet on the field with the guys we have out there," McFadden said. "(But) it's not just about having speed. Guys have to be able to go out there and make plays. One thing we have to do is focus on making plays."So then just how easy is it harness pure speed and apply it to real-world football skills?"I went to school with Tommie Smith, Lee Evans and John Carlos and Ronnie Ray Smith," Saunders said with a nostalgic grin, reminiscing on his days at San Jose State. "They came out in the spring and they just came back from the '68 Olympics and there were some gold medals in there but they didn't turn out to be football players. Speed and playing the game are two different things. People can run fast in a straight line, but when you have to change directions and there's another 200-pound defender over there trying to re-route you, you have to have the other skill of catching the ball. It is really different."I had a great privilege of coaching a guy for a lot of years, Charlie Joiner, who's in the Hall of Fame. Charlie wasn't a real fast guy, but he played the game as fast as anybody around, like Freddie Biletnikoff did here. The really great ones that can transfer that speed into playing explosion, a guy like Lynn Swann, those guys are special. It takes a while to do that."Just then, Heyward-Bey and Ford walked up behind the reporters interviewing Saunders and listened in like attentive yet playful students."You can teach guys to run faster," Saunders said. "Usain Bolt's working right now to run 100th of a second faster, so there's some techniques and things you can do to make guys play faster. But that innate speed factor, it really gives you an advantage because of the open field. When you get the ball in the open field you can run fast. And the faster you run, the better chance you have of getting into the end zone before somebody else catches you."Or making like Heyward-Bey and Ford and getting to the locker room before a coach's soliloquy on speed is finished. Talk about speed.

Happy New Year 2013!
Happy New Year to all of our loyal and informed readers. Did you catch the Ball Drop in Times Square, New York City? It seems that even if you did forget to watch it, tape it, TiVo it, then we should all be thanking our Creator for the people originally, and the corporations for the Internet. Ostensibly it has become the combo-plex of everything you may have missed.
Think about it just for a moment. If one needs to be informed on events in India then by all means check the Internet; it seems to us that anything and everything gets coverage somehow on the Internet. Moreover, unlike the main-stream media that carries such an extraordinary bias, the Internet news is where one can go to read reports as seen from the other side. That is just one of the reasons I'm proud of what I do.
Now then for our younger parents, older parents, and grandparents who read The Contemplative Thinker, if one's son or daughter, or their respective cousins enjoy reading then by all means introduce them to the world. We all are aware of the multitude of educational media that is readily available. However, that is not my specialty; yet, one of our most avid reader's here is involved with educational gaming with the Internet as the main resource. Please feel free to ask for name and email address.
One of my specialty areas in the art of reading is the pure gift of comprehension. The ability to read something — and –through ideas, thoughts, reflection, asking myself questions while at the same time seeking
those answers, and most importantly utilizing critical thinking skills has placed me into a position of understanding nearly 100 percent of what I read the first time I've read the material. What a great skill to pass on to someone who enjoys learning, or reading and sorting out new problem-solving matters. Here is an example. Try and find the best and most reliable newspaper, magazine, or what have you from a different country.
We believe that most people would be surprised at how different authors raised in different cultures, with different customs, norms, and ideologies report on something that happens in the USA. Often times in countries that don't face the same concerns and those of us do in the U.S. such as gun-control are the most level headed people around when it comes to addressing the problem and offering suggestions for a presentable outcome.
As for me this much is fun and fortunately helps me to gain a perspective on issues that bother or inspire me. The Guardian in England, Daily Mail, The London Times, The Australian or the Blank Morning Herald in AU (we use Blank for whatever city one may be reading i.e., Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and so on). The Irish Times IRE, The Nation, PK, and of course the financial newspapers such as The Financial Review (regional, Austro-lasian) The Wall Street Journal, and many, many more.
There are many other magazines as well as newspapers, some such as Al Jazeera, are very anti-American and for us are used for propaganda or to "how not to report on a story."

|Memo MBOC (Instructions and New Forms).pdf
Based on your feedback, the Government Accountability Board has developed additional instructions for the processing and counting of late-arriving absentee and provisional ballots, a function of the Municipal Board of Canvassers (MBOC).
The Election Administration Manual has been updated with these instructions. Please refer to the "Post Election Activities" section, pages 155-174 An electronic copy of the updated Election Administration Manual is posted here: http://gab.wi.gov/clerk/education-training/election-administration-manual.
The instructions in the updated Election Administration Manual reference two new forms: GAB-104AP and GAB-106-AP. These new forms were developed based on your comments about this process. You may use these forms as you process and count late-arriving absentee and provisional ballots from the August 14, 2012, Partisan Primary and future elections. It is your discretion whether to use these new forms.
The GAB-104AP (http://gab.wi.gov/forms/gab-104AP) is the MBOC Record of Activity. It is a diary of the activities of the MBOC.
The GAB-106AP (http://gab.wi.gov/forms/gab-106AP) is the Statement of the MBOC. It is the reconciliation of late-arriving absentee and provisional ballots processed. It may also serve as the statement that confirms that the election night returns have not changed.
We are providing this additional information at this time, based on requests we received today from clerks. If you have questions about the MBOC instructions and/or the two new forms, please contact the G.A.B. Help Desk at 608-261-2028 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: In my last mock, I made the mock with the intent of a switch to a 3-4 D. This time around, I say, maybe we need to play to our strengths. This Defense WILL get better next year. Why? 1) Frank Bush is certainly gone. His replacement will certainly do better, I mean, there is no place to go but up. 2) Hopefully Barwin returns. So, with that in mind, I found out that 22/24 teams that averaged 30.0ppg or more have made the playoffs. Currently the Texans are at 24.8. Perhaps, the easiest way to get into the playoffs is to focus on our strength and try to outscore other teams. So, that's what this mock is all about: trying to get the team from 24.8 ppg to 30.0+. 1. Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh. A perfect compliment to AJ. Think of Baldwin as Boldin to AJs Larry Fitz. Kevin Walter is a nice receiver, but he is not as skilled as Baldwin. Plus, Baldwin can learn a lot from a mentor like AJ. 2. Ryan Broyles, WR/PR, Oklahoma. Yep. Another receiver. But, he is the type of guy who could be great in the slot. Good hands, good speed, and a nightmare for LBs and Safteys. Put AJ on one side, Baldwin on the other, and Broyles in the middle? Wow. No more Jacoby jones dropping simple passes. With these two additions, Schaub now has fast, strong sure handed receivers to throw the ball to. All those drops from Walter and Jones are now gone. Plus, he can return punts. No more JJ will he drop it or not drama. 3. John Moffitt, G/C, Wisconsin: a massive road grading G/C combo player that can open up holes for the running game or give Schaub a few extra seconds to throw to our receiving corp. This is a key position change. 4. Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, WR/KR, Iowa. We can bring back 4 wr sets with him. Think back to the high powered offenses of the Run and Shoot. With all these rules that benefit the offense, such as Pass interference, its time to send 4 speedy receivers down the field and chuck the ol ball down the field. If you don't get a reception, you may get a pass interference play. DJK lets us do that. Plus he can also play in the slot or on the side and can handle KR duty. No more Steve Slaton's patented kickoff return to the 22 yard line. 5. Alex Henery, K, Nebraska: I have no problem with Rackers. BUT, this guy can consistently hit from 50+. Not all drives will end in tds. We need a guy who can boot them in from a LOOOONG way out to get to 30+ppg. 6. Derek Epperson, P, Baylor I know its high, but he is booting the ball 44+ yards. On those times we cannot score, it would be nice to make it a little tougher on the defense to score. 7. Charlie Gantt, TE, Michigan State: He is going to be what Anthony Hill was supposed to be: a tough inline extra blocker who can find catch every few games. He will provide additional pass coverage and can open up some additional running holes.

Attitude Research in Science Education: Classic and Contemporary Measurements
The research into how students' attitudes affect their learning of science related subjects has been one of the core areas of interest by science educators. The development in science education records various attempts in measuring attitudes and determining the correlations between behavior, achievements, career aspirations, gender identity and cultural inclination. Some researchers noted that attitudes can be learned and teachers can encourage students to like science subjects through persuasion. But some view that attitude is situated in context and has much to do with upbringing and environment. The critical role of attitude is well recognized in advancing science education, in particular designing curriculum and choosing powerful pedagogies and nurturing students. Since Noll's (1935) seminal work on measuring the scientific attitudes, a steady stream of research papers describing the development and validation of scales have appeared in scholarly publications. Despite these efforts, the progress in this area has been stagnated by limited understanding of the conception of attitude, dimensionality and inability to determine the multitude of variables that made up such concept. This book makes an attempt to take stock and critically examine classical views on science attitudes and explore contemporary attempts in measuring science-related attitudes. The chapters in this book are a reflection of researchers who work tirelessly in promoting science education and highlight the current trends and future scenarios in attitude measurement.

According to a report from the Fort Wayne Police Department a woman had parked and locked her black Cadillac Escalade, gone for a run with friends and when she returned she found the back window smashed out. Her wallet was stolen, the only thing missing. She told the officer she had seen a white Lexus sedan circling the parking lot a few times that evening. She told the officer she had called her debit card that evening and found it had been used three times at the Meijer Store on Lima Road. Once for $413.90, once for $113.62 and once for $413.90.Fort Wayne Police reported the following burglaries over the past several days:
*On Friday a person who lives in the 4000 block of Bowser Avenue reported her house had been burglarized sometime that day between 5 a.m. and about 4 p.m. According to a Fort Wayne Police report, the suspects apparently came into the home through a window and stole a television, two computers, a sound system, video games and cash.

"This election is about our future."
Laila, a junior social relations and policy major at Michigan State, is working to re-elect President Obama in East Lansing this fall for one simple reason –
"This election is about our future."
Laila attended the Campus Leaders Retreat earlier this month to learn effective strategies behind getting Spartans to the polls on Election Day.
"This election is a great opportunity to keep us moving forward. President Obama is a leader on the issues Spartans care about: student loan reform, social equality, and access to affordable health care. By educating my peers on the pavement and online, that's how we're going to get more hands on deck and more people to the polls in November."
Voter registration will be a top priority for the campus team at MSU through October 9th.
"Register to vote! Update your address if you moved into a new residence hall or apartment. Voting is the only way we can secure four more years of progress."
Returning to campus and ready to get out the vote for President Obama? Join your campus team today.

Investment Strategy
by Jeffrey Saut
Random gleanings at 38,000 feet
September 18, 2017
The past eight weeks have been a blur. We have been in Vancouver, Victoria, Alaska, Boston, South Africa (Zulu Nyala, Cape Town, Umhlanga, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Jeffreys Bay, Durban, Wilderness, etc.), Boston (again), and New York City. Reflecting on the months of travel as we wing our way back to Tampa at 38,000 feet, one of the more interesting encounters in those travels was spending time with Steve Forbes (Forbes Magazine). Although Steve is a staunch Republican, he suggested that Republicans worship at the altar of the CBO (Congressional Budget Office). Scoffing, he stated it is ridiculous for ANY government agency to attempt to predict what is going to happen over the next 10 years. Continuing, Steve theorized the Republicans believed that repealing Obamacare would raise enough money to give them more room for tax cuts. However, they lost the public relations battle because the CBO wrongly predicted 22 million people would be thrown off of the health care rolls with such a repeal. He said the CBO starts with the false premise 15 million folks would not pay for healthcare if there was not a mandate and that 5 million would be shoved off of Medicaid. A few more of his random thoughts included: the White House had no clear message in the healthcare debate, there are no real free markets in healthcare, under the current system it does not create an environment to foster medical breakthroughs, and he proposed the following:
1) Have flexibility on Medicaid.
2) There should be a nationwide shopping system for healthcare.
3) Level the playing field on taxes for healthcare.
4) There should be transparency on pricing by hospitals.
5) Have flexibility on healthcare insurance.
To point number four Steve mentioned that in comparing pricing for the same test at various hospitals showed the price varied from $1,400 to $7,300!
Moving on to taxes, he noted the White House, having botched the healthcare debate, will now move on to taxes, but will they really get tax reform? His answer was YES, but first you have to ignore the CBO guidance. Yet the window for big tax reform has passed because too much time was wasted on the healthcare "thing." What should be done is to cut corporate tax rates, accelerate depreciation, and immediately give taxpayers a "double exemption" (puts an extra $1,400 into their pockets), cut individual tax rates, and make all of that retroactive.
Finally the conversation turned toward "regulations." Steve averred that unnecessary regulations cost the economy $2 trillion a year and there are 15 bills currently in the House of Representatives to reduce said regulations. Moreover, we should scale back the EPA, FDA, and FAA. In conclusion he opined that regulations would not have prevented the 2008 debacle and the subsequently imposed regulations have prevented the banks from lending somewhere between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion dollars that typically would have been lent.
We enjoyed spending a few days with Steve Forbes and hope to so again in the not too distant future.
We had another interesting meeting while in Boston with Arvind Navaratnam, portfolio manager of the Fidelity Advisor Event Driven Opportunity Fund (FMRMX/$13.76). We began by asking Arvind why there was a picture of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress in his presentation. He replied, "Because that airplane prompted the first "check list" for an aircraft. I like this story as scribed in Wikipedia:
All of us know the famed B-17 used during WWII, which helped to win the war. You probably didn't know, however, that the B-17 was the first aircraft to get a checklist! This came about when, on the first B-17 flight, three men were seriously injured, and a few days later died, when the aircraft stalled shortly after takeoff. After further investigation, it was found that the Captain had left the elevator lock on, and the aircraft was unresponsive to pitch control. . . . During a major think-tank session, it was determined that the pilots needed a checklist. It wasn't a knock to the pilots, or that the aircraft was too hard to fly, rather the aircraft was just too complex for a one pilot's memory.
According to Arvind, "In our business a 'plane crash' is a permanent loss of capital," so Arvind uses a "check list" for each stock in his fund to make certain it meets all his requirements. The fund's model is reflected in the name "event driven." Event driven investing attempts to take advantage of corporate actions (index deletions, bankruptcy, corporate spinoffs, 13D filings, mergers, management changes, dividend reductions, etc.) that can result in a mispricing of a company's stock or other underlying security. These situations can result in forced selling pressure, limited research coverage, and market inefficiencies that can lead to a greater probability of a security being mispriced. As always terms and details should be studied before purchase of the fund.
Moving on to the stock market, despite the S&P 500's (SPX/2500.23) move to new all-time highs last week, our models continue to show that there just is not much "upside energy" right here, implying the "buy the North Korea dips" may not work this time. In fact, most of the indices we monitor have moved from neutral, or oversold, into an overbought condition on a short-term basis. That said, one of our overriding themes of the year has been a weaker U.S. dollar. We have been bearish of the "buck" for the last few years, rightly at times and wrongly at others. Still, after a post presidential election rally of 6.5% the Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index has declined by some 10.5% (chart 1 on page 3). The dollar's weakness has benefited many commodities (chart 2) and we have recommended tilting portfolios accordingly. If the dollar remains "soft" it should continue to benefit companies with international exposure/revenues (chart 3 on page 4). Another theme we have spoken of since DJT was elected is overweighting companies that have a high tax rate on the premise they will benefit from corporate tax reform (chart 4). Some names from the Raymond James research universe with such metrics (they all have an effective tax rate greater than 35%), are favorably rated by our fundamental analysts, and screen well on our models, for your potential "buy list" include: UnitedHealth (UNH/$198.18/Strong Buy); Dollar General (DG/$77.60/Strong Buy); CSRA (CSRA/$31.98/Outperform); Masco (MAS/$37.31/Outperform); Comcast (CMCSA/$36.93/Strong Buy); and CVS Health (CVS/$83.17/Outperform).
The call for this week: Back in June the three major indices traded out to new all-time highs, and we noted that every time those indices simultaneously trade to new all-time highs the SPX had an average 3.8% gain within the next three months nearly 100% of the time. Well, it is nearly three months later and the SPX is better by some 3.6%. Regrettably, we have underplayed that 3.6% rally because our models went into cautionary mode at the beginning of August. Most recently, our stock market internal energy model telegraphed there just is not a whole lot of upside energy available right here. Then too, the momentum indicator theorizes the odds of a trend reversal are high on a short-term basis, the breadth indicator is neutral (no trend reversal), and the sentiment indicator is flashing extreme complacency (high degree for a trend reversal). The catalyst for a potential near-term trend reversal could be the president's address at the U.N. this week, where Ambassador Nikki Haley recently stated, "We've been kicking the can down the road, and we're out of road!" All of this as Kim Jong-un bellows that North Korea is close to its goal of "equilibrium" in military force with the U.S.; and he might just try to demonstrate that coincident with the president's U.N. address. This morning the preopening S&P 500 futures are up by about 4 points as investors believe the Federal Reserve will announce the trimming of its balance sheet and no North Korea provocations over the weekend.

Husky the Muskie…
This huge replica fish is built of wood, steel and fiberglass, stands 13 m (40 feet) high and weighs close to 2112 pounds.
Husky is a symbol for the Lake of the Woods where some of North America's best muskie fishing may be had. Husky the Muskie is located at McLeod Park in Kenora, Ontario, Canada….
Kenora originally settled as a trading and missionary town called Rat Portage, with the first building belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company. The name Rat Portage came from the native name for the area. In 1836 a fur-trading post was established by the Hudson's Bay Company, and the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880's allowed the town to prosper.
Rat Portage transformed into Kenora after amalgamating with neighbouring townships of Keewatin and Norman. Kenora formed from the first two letters of each area: KEewatin, NOrman, and RAt Portage. In 2000 Kenora officially became a city.


text: Carr Previews The Flat Track Season Paul Carruthers | March 4, 2008The following is from Chris Carr's publicist… After enjoying six years of one of the most lucrative sponsorship relationships – both for himself and for the sport of flat track – seven-time AMA Flat Track champion Chris Carr finds himself back in a position many of his fellow flat track riders are accustom to…trying to win a title on a shoestring budget.With difficult times hitting the auto industry, Carr's longtime sponsor (Ford Quality Checked Certified Pre-owned program) not only ended its deal with Carr for the upcoming AMA Flat Track Championship, but also as the title sponsor of the entire series – something Carr was highly instrumental in helping develop and nurture over the past six seasons.That said, Carr has been fortunate to have a number of the generous motorcycle industry companies that have had his back over the years step up to help him with his '08 campaign. And right out of the gate Carr paid some instant dividends, winning the opening AMA Hot Shoe at Oglethorpe Speedway in Savannah, Ga., this past weekend over defending AMA Flat Track champion and friendly rival, Kenny Coolbeth (2nd)."The core is still in tact," says Carr of he and his longtime tuner/buddy, Kenny Tolbert. "And I certainly feel we have a chance to win this – prove that people win championships and not the almighty dollar. "So that's our goal this year."In reality Carr has been a privateer since his road racing days ended with Harley Davidson – albeit a well-funded privateer with the Ford Quality Checked program. This year KTM has stepped up to help Carr in the Singles class, providing him with its new 450SXF, which Carr says will be the "Bike to beat" this Wednesday and Thursday (March 5-6) at Daytona Beach's (Fla.) Municipal Stadium for the opening Singles rounds of the 2008 AMA Flat Track Championship.On the Twins side of things – beginning April 5th in Tuscon, Ariz., at USA Race Park -Carr will again be running the Lancaster HD 750s – a non-factory bike he put on the podium a number of times in 2007, including a win at second Springfield Mile and podium finish at Lake Odessa (Mich.).Wearing the toughness you'd expect from a veteran flat tracker, Carr doesn't want any pity from the fans, nor does he expect any from his fellow competitors – many of whom have raced hand-to-mouth for their entire careers."I don't want anybody to feel sorry for the Chris Carr Racing program. I had it good for a long time and now, because of some brutal economics, things are going to be tight this season," explained Carr. "But some of my longtime supporters from within the motorcycle industry have stepped up and we're basically back where we were in 1998 and '99. So we'll make due with what we've got and work hard to be there in the end for the championship."Those companies stepping up to help Chris Carr in his quest for the 2008 AMA Flat Track Championship title include: Drag Specialties, Parts Unlimited, Lancaster Harley Davidson, KTM Sport Motorcycles, Phoenix Racing, Arai, Wiseco Pistons, Motion Pro, A & A Racing, Cometic Gaskets, Pro Plates and Red Line Oil.Seven-time AMA Flat Track champion and fastest man the world on two wheels at 350.884 miles per hour, the Chris Carr legend continues.

Michelle Heaton: Baby Faith is even more amazing than I imagined
Michelle Heaton has thanked fans for their well-wishes after she gave birth to her and husband Hugh Hanley's first baby girl Faith Michelle, revealing the new arrival is 'more amazing than I ever imagined'.
The 32-year-old gave birth on Wednesday and personal trainer Hugh broke the news on his Twitter account yesterday, proudly writing: 'My beautiful wife @wonderwomanshel gave birth to our gorgeous baby girl 'Faith Michelle Hanley' yesterday morning. Circle of life is amazing.'
And today the former Liberty X star revealed she is overjoyed at being a new mum as she took to the social-networking site to thank her followers for their support.
She wrote: 'Thank u everyone for your kind wishes.. Faith is even more amazing than I ever imagined. We r truly blessedâ¦. #happiestmumever.'
Despite being just a few days old, it seems Faith has already had some visitors as former Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon tweeted her delight at already having met her.
She tweeted: 'I'm pleased to say, little Faith Hanley is PERFECT! We pounced on her today at just 1 day old. So proud of @wonderwomanshel ⦠You did GOOD.'
Michelle started dating personal trainer Hanley in 2008, just one month after her marriage to Andy Scott-Lee ended.
The couple were married in July 2010 in a plush Bahamas ceremony and announced they were expecting their first child together in July last year.
Yesterday, just hours after Hugh announced their little girl had arrived, Heaton sent another heartfelt message to her followers: 'Thanku all 4support & help over last 9months-2 all the mums out there-u r truly amazing 4 what we go through-But faith is worth every second [sic].'

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - A South Florida mental health technician has bonded out of jail, after she was charged with neglect to an elderly or disabled adult with great harm.
Police say in December 2013, Deborah Judge Thomas neglected to provide a 62-year-old mentally disabled man with the proper care, supervision and services necessary to maintain his physical health.
The incident happened at the South Florida State Hospital, a GEO Care facility in Pembroke Pines.
According to authorities, Thomas notified her supervisor, registered nurse Aida Cortes that the victim was hitting her. The victim then agreed to go into a room called the "comfort room" so he could calm down. But once inside, Thomas allegedly locked the man in for 45 minutes and shut off the lights.
The victim pounded on the door and fell off a bed in the room several times, causing him to injure himself in several areas of his body, including the back of his head and back. An emergency room physician says he had abnormal blood level and fractured his back and ribs.
Police say a registered nurse can admit a patient into a "comfort room" or "seclusion room," but must immediately call a doctor, who will either give the order to keep the patient in the room or remove him from it.
It's unclear at this time what charges Cortes could be facing for her involvement in the incident.

GTL Infrastructure to Convert 35% of Convertible Debt
Bondholders of India's GTL Infrastructure Ltd. (GTLI) approved plans to exchange 35 percent of the company's $320 million of convertible bonds due later this month into equity, according to a person familiar with the matter.
GTL, a Mumbai-based telecommunications tower provider, plans to convert the U.S. dollar-denominated notes into shares at a cost of 10 rupees each, the person said, asking not to be identified because they're not authorized to speak publicly.
GTL's stock jumped as much as 11.5 percent to 8.75 rupees today, and traded up 3.8 percent at 8.15 rupees as of 12:08 p.m. in Mumbai. Chairman Manoj Tirodkar declined to comment on the conversion plans and other officials at the company didn't immediately reply to an e-mail.
Houlihan Lokey, a Los Angeles-based investment banking service provider, advised GTL on the transaction, the person said.
The remaining 65 percent of the bonds can be exchanged for new convertible notes which mature November 2017, the person said. Investors also have the option of exchanging all the debt into equity, the person said.
GTL's zero-coupon notes mature on Nov. 29 at a premium of $140.41 per security, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company has the equivalent of $1.98 billion of bonds and loans maturing by the end of 2020, the data show.

As Gabe Sanchez goes, so goes the Rio Grande boys basketball team.
On Tuesday night in the South Valley, the Ravens' star guard wasn't going anywhere. He reached the halftime buzzer with a "0" next to his name in the scorebook for the first time this season. He did eventually score nine points, but it was an otherwise forgettable night for him and his Rio Grande teammates.
Not surprisingly, visiting Eldorado rolled to a 59-44 win in District 5-5A action.
The Eagles assume sole possession of second place as the district race reaches its halfway point. At 15-6, 3-1, they moved one game ahead of Rio Grande (13-8, 2-2) in what is considered to be the toughest district in the state. Sitting alone in first is top-ranked Manzano. Lurking in fourth place is No. 2 Highland.
Perhaps Rio coach Wally Salata summed up Tuesday's game best when he berated his players during a timeout midway through the fourth quarter. He told them they were on the verge of a second straight blowout loss at home in district play, a loss that could spell the end of their regular season title hopes.
The Ravens went down a week before when Manzano posted a lopsided win.
Eldorado led by double digits for the game's final 11 minutes. The margin grew to as many as 22. Seven of Sanchez's points came with his team trailing by at least 14.
On this night, Sanchez was hounded by a host of defenders from start to finish. The most common Eagle in his face was Eldorado point guard Tyler McDonald. A lefty, McDonald matched every Sanchez move with one of his own on the perimeter. When McDonald ran into a screen — which the Ravens did a lot in an attempt to break Sanchez free — there to help was just about anyone else in an Eagles uniform.
Sanchez got his shots in the first half but failed to convert. In the early going it didn't seem to matter as Rio built an 8-2 lead four minutes in. Eldorado finally got things going by turning to its deep bench. Cris Lozano and Gary Maestas scored a little more than a minute apart as part of a 7-0 spurt.
From there it was pretty much Ross Williams here, Ross Williams there. The 6-foot-3 Eagles forward finished with a game-high 17 points to go along with six rebounds and one blocked shot. He had seven points in the second quarter, helping his team open a 27-17 lead at intermission. He capped the night with six points in the final period.
What really turned the game around, though, was the second quarter. With Sanchez struggling, the Eagles erased a 15-11 deficit by closing the halfon a 16-2 run. The Ravens' only points in the final 6:45 of the half were a pair of free throws by Francisco Reyes.
Eldorado's go-ahead points came on a transition layup by Lozano. He got behind the Rio defense in the lane before corraling an entry pass from midcourt. He turned and put the ball in on an uncontested shot. It made the score 17-15. McDonald and Williams helped close the half with a combined nine points down the stretch.
Rio Grande never got closer than five points the entire second half.
Dominic Gonzales came off the bench to score 10 points to lead the Ravens. Zanchez, whose season-low was five points against Las Cruces on Jan. 10, was the only other Rio player with more than six.
McDonald and Daniel Strong each had nine points for Eldorado while Gary Maestas had eight.
All told, Eldorado shot 50 percent (26-for-52) from the floor while Rio was a mere 16-for-45.

Wisconsin just can't make up its mind. On the same night we helped re-elect President Barack Obama and elected Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., both obviously Democrats, we once again turned sole control of the state Legislature to the Republican Party. What does this mean going forward?
The first indication of what this will mean is watching what happens as the state works to prepare for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Currently the Republicans have left themselves almost no time before a Nov. 16 deadline to decide whether the state wants to be in charge of a health care exchange required by the new law for small businesses and individuals to purchase health insurance. The cause of this small window was a decision by Gov. Scott Walker to stop planning for implementation, hoping a defeat of Obama in the presidential race would lead to a repeal of the law.
With that point now moot, the state risks relinquishing control of the exchange to the federal government, which would join the $38 million the state lost out on when Walker decided to stop implementation last year.
The gains made by the Republicans may very well lead to more decisions that hurt Wisconsin made for partisan reasons. The recent redistricting decisions, made unilaterally by the Republican-controlled Legislature likely played a part in their successful attempt to regain total control. Strong Democratic voices like former Mayor Dave Cieslewicz have accused the Republicans of gerrymandering the redistricting process.
In the Assembly, Republicans now hold a sizeable 60-39 lead and in the Senate will most likely hold an 18-15 advantage pending a possible recount, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Redistricting likely played a role in those wins, but it certai+nly doesn't account for a 21-seat advantage in the Assembly, and the loss of the Senate seat of retiring Sen. Jim Holperin, D-Conover, sounded more like Assembly Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst, coming more effectively to the center in the campaign than democratic opponent Susan Sommer.
The political future of Wisconsin, hotly contested the last two years, now has a surprisingly one-sided driver. Think about the dichotomy of having elected Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Baldwin in consecutive elections. That has to be one of the most contrasting pair of senators of any state in the country. Yet we find ourselves with a state government that currently has complete one-sided control.
In the extremely partisan times we find ourselves in, where the idea of a compromising federal government is a distant memory, and a compromising Wisconsin government disappearing not far behind, it is a real concern that one of our parties lacks any real decision-making power.
I'm concerned going forward. This Republican Party has shown little interest in the kind of deal-making that used to be typical in the Wisconsin Legislature. I had hoped a stable, divided Legislature might lead to a return to that kind of policy-making procedure.
I hope the Republicans at least tweak their approach and work toward the center, but I'm not entirely optimistic. The checks and balances of policy making have changed dramatically since the bipartisan successes of former Gov. Tommy Thompson. If anything is clear today in Wisconsin, it's that one voice on either side can't possibly represent all of us.

First of all, I wanted to tell my readers a very simple story; I think that's a good start for an amateur writer. I had tried writing about things that have had higher consequences and impacts on my life, but it was frustrating when my words and sentences couldn't quite capture the things with the same passion that I wanted them to. So, I chose to write about a part of my life which has its subtle significance.
I think the story came easy to me. I have always wanted to write about my two year long experience of being a server and thought it apt to do it now. Every day as a server, I encountered tiny epiphanies that frustrated me more and liberated me far less. I remember using my order pads more for making personal notes than jotting down orders from the patrons. I remember eavesdropping at a couple's table sensing infidelity, and listening with awe a meeting between a writer and an editor. So I had a lot of things to write about, to share with my readers.
I believe I struggled with the flow. I think my essay lacks a good flow that makes a good essay. I have tried shuffling sentences and paragraphs to little avail. Hopefully with revision, I will do a better job. I also struggled with the parallel I tried to draw between my experience and the concurrent world event. I think it looks rushed. Although I know that it is a forced and an alien component of my writing, I think I would be able to do a better job at connecting these two events and find the common essence.
I really think I am content with the word choices I have made in this story, although I am not too happy about "sporadically" and "perfunctorily," but I can easily dismiss this glitch by calling them a part of a literary trope I am trying to use. But in general, I think I have averted myself from using words that are unnecessary. In this I tried emulating Zinsser's advice, "The only way to avoid it [banal expressions] is to care deeply about words………………….Notice the decisions that other writers make in their choice of words and finicky about the ones you select from the vast supply. The race in writing is not to the swift but to the original. (Zinsser, 34)" Although the last sentence couldn't be practiced to its fullest effect due to our impending deadlines, I have tried spending more time than I usually do to think if a word sit right or do I need another word.
As I already addressed earlier in this letter, I need to work on my flow. Perhaps give some more evidence and details. Now that I have written this cover letter, I think I can even include some of the things I have written here into the actual essay- the part on "tiny epiphanies" and other interesting anecdotes. Like any other first draft, my essay needs a lot of mending before it is remotely eligible for a publication. Thank you.

text: So I'm having to drive around and run some errands today. I turn on the radio to have something on in the background. And since I live in the Dallas area, I find myself listening to the Michael Irvin show. He's got Nate Newton on. And they're talking about "triplets". Back in their day, they had Aikman, Smith, and Irvin as their triplets. But after watching the game last night, they were trying to compare the Cowboys to the Colts. They wanted to know which team had the better "triplets": Peyton/Clark/Wayne or Romo/Witten/Owens. Irvin asked Newton to pick which player he'd take: Manning or Romo: Newton chose Romo. Hey, it's Dallas. Clark or Witten: And Newton chose Witten because he's a better all around tight end. And I can kinda see that although I'd probably go the other way on that one. Finally... Wayne or Owens: And Newton says, "Andre Johnson, Houston Texans." Irvin asked again, Wayne or Owens. Newton answers, "Andre Johnson, Houston Texans." Irvin starts to get ticked off and Newton answers, "OK, Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers." I laughed out loud when he said AJ. That totally surprised me.

Gift of Legation:
Embassy architecture is steeped in layers of rhetorical demands and physical constraints other projects don't usually encounter. The embassy is an institutional building representing the interests and values of one sovereign nation within the territory of another. This places enormous amounts of pressure on making contextual sensitivity coexist with symbollic representation of the foreign.
My thesis project poses the question of whether architectural innovation can be a catalyst for changes in the diplomatic process itself and how would an architecture, intent on manipulating the way embassy buildings construct relationships with their local communities and environments manifest itself?
Through research and design of a new embassy in Morocco, I wished to wade into the heavily trafficked controversy over the paradox of architecture that simultaneously strives to symbolize the rhetorical strength of the American values of openess and democracy while increasingly seeking to further insolate its foreign civilian work force from the lethal dangers they face as a result of the response to their controversial policies.
For this project, I wished that the embassy not only not be a bunker, but also that it be an object that lends itself to the support of a respectful, optimistic, projective idea for the local population who view the embassy and possibly utilize the services it provides. The title "Gift of Legation" suggests the idea that embassy estabishment is not an entitlement but actually an invitation. One nation is admitted into another for the purpose of developing a bond that benefits both parties, and the architecture built for the purpose of maintaining that bond should reflect that attitude.

During the last Republican debate of the year, the conversation quickly turned to national security, as the country is still reeling following the San Bernardino terror attacks that killed 14 people in early December.
Turning to allowing refugees into the United States, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said, "We will not be admitting jihadists as refugees," honing in on the potential that could-be terror sympathizers could be admitted into the U.S. as refugees, despite the current vetting process.
Front runner Donald Trump reiterated that his stance on banning Muslims from coming into the United States has helped boost his popularity. "People like what I say, people respect what I say," Trump said, adding that if President Obama has brought "some to this country, then they're leaving."
Jeb Bush fired back against Trump's proposal, saying that "banning all Muslims will make it harder for us to do what we need to do," pointing to the necessity to team up with Muslim allies in the region. GOP contender Marco Rubio dismissed the Trump plan, saying it "isn't going to happen."
"This group needs to be confronted with serious proposals," Rubio said of ISIS.
Senator Rand Paul pushed the issue of greater security, saying "we need more scrutiny" on immigration and the vetting process.

GIRLSPEAK and More Among Bucks County Playhouse's Fall 2014 Programs
Upon re-opening in 2012, a commitment was made by Bucks County Playhouse: to create and grow a home to inspire artists of all ages and backgrounds through a robust education program. Now, Bucks County Playhouse is delighted to announce an innovative program titled "Girlspeak", designed with 13-18 year olds in mind, addresses young women's contemporary concerns, including body image, cyber-bullying and media pressure.
"We believe that arts education inspires people to look more deeply at the world around them, builds friendships, and creates lasting self-confidence, and we want our programs to be accessible to all children and teens, regardless of economic status," says Hester Kamin, Director of Education.
Girlspeak, is partially funded by a generous grant from Doro M. Kerr through the Charles Kerr Foundation.
"Contributions are vitally important to our ability to bring quality and impactful programs to our community. Moreover, it is only through the generosity of our friends and neighbors that we can make programs like GirlSpeak open and accessible," says Bess Godin, Director of Development.
After the incredible success of the spring and summer educational programming, Bucks County Playhouse is presenting additional opportunities to be on stage and behind the scenes at the Playhouse!
This fall the following five programs for children through adults will be offered:
Open to adults interesting in telling and performing stories from their own lives. This theme draws on the European holiday tradition of gathering around the fire and telling tales at midnight.

ABOUT THE BUCKS COUNTY PLAYHOUSE - Bucks County Playhouse, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, provides the finest theatrical entertainment for visitors and residents of New Hope, Doylestown, Lambertville and the Delaware Valley. Under the direction of Robyn Goodman and Alexander Fraser, its mission is to present first class professional entertainment and regain the Playhouse's historic place in the national theatrical landscape; and to stimulate, support, inspire and celebrate the performing arts via community programs, partnerships and arts education.
Located between Philadelphia and New York, Bucks County Playhouse opened in 1939 in a converted 1790 gristmill after a group of community activists, led by Broadway orchestrator Don Walker and playwright Moss Hart, rallied to save the building. The Playhouse quickly became one of the country's most famous regional theaters, featuring a roster of American theatrical royalty including Helen Hayes, Kitty Carlisle, Colleen Dewhurst, Shirley Booth, Lillian Gish, Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, Bert Lahr, Walter Matthau, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Alan Alda, Tyne Daly, Liza Minnelli and Audra McDonald and remained in continuous operation until December 2010. In 2012, the Playhouse re-opened thanks to the efforts of the Bridge Street Foundation, the nonprofit family foundation of Kevin and Sherri Daugherty, and Broadway producer Jed Bernstein. Terrence McNally's Mothers and Sons, starring Tyne Daly, received its world premiere at the Playhouse in 2013 and opened on Broadway in February 2014, where it was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. This returned the Playhouse to its roots as an incubator for Broadway, including 1951′s The Fourposter starring Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, Neil Simon's first play Come Blow Your Horn, and Barefoot in the Park starring Robert Redford and Elizabeth Ashley.
The Bucks County Playhouse is located at 70 South Main Street in New Hope, PA.

Each would see a snapshot > of the database as if it ran alone, If T2 is going to be using information from A to update B, then the select for A should include a "for update" clause. I know one would think that "for update" should be used on the destination row, but in this case, the for update clause on T2's select means the transaction will fail, and the client should now detect that, rollback, and attempt the transaction again. Here's what happens: T1 begin; T1 set transaction_isolation = serializable; T2 begin; T2 set transaction_isolation = serializable; T1 update test set info='ghi' where id='A'; T2 select * from test where id=1 for update; (T2 now waits for T1 to complete or rollback) If T1 now commits, we get this error on T2: ERROR: could not serialize access due to concurrent update If T1 rolls back, T2 will complete. This provides the user with the equivalent to a predicate locking model. However, with such locking rollbacks become more common, and the client has to know to try again should a transaction fail. > Question #3 > ========= > In some places it is said that a transaction that only reads does not > lock any table or row, and is never blocked. But if a transaction T1 > modifies a row r, and at the same time transaction T2 selects r, then > T2 need to wait until T1 finishes (as T1 might have deleted the row, > or modified it in a way that would cause T1 not to need it, as the row > does not satisfy T2's WHERE clause). Am I right? Yes. Because that's very useful for when people reading the database aren't writing to it. It allows the database to handle a very large read load while still updating underneath it. However, it requires some forethought to make update procedures that operate on the dataset run properly. While the readers can run in serializable or read committed depening on their need to see coherent data between rows and all, the writers would by necessity have to run not just serializable, but also have to mark the rows they're reading as for update to make sure another writer didn't get the wrong number. Since writers, by definition, are usually written by wizards, they can be expected to know to use for update et. al. to ensure things work out ok. Basically, data just read with no write lock shouldn't be used to update other data in a serializable transaction. > On the other hand in order to read a table T2 gets an ACCESS SHARE > lock on the table, so it blocks transactions that want to drop the > table (and I do not understand why it does not block transactions that > want to add/delete/update rows of the table). OK, you have 10,000,000,000 rows in the table. You have 1,000 people connected to the database. Every time one of the 1,000 people read a dozen to a thousand rows, you lock each one. These locks have to be shared with all the other backends. How much does that cost? OTOH, you have the same number as above, every time they read the table, you throw one single, cheap, almost never failing lock on the table. How much does that cost? Finally, you have the same data set. Out of the 1,000 people connected to the database, three are modifiers / writers. The rest are report generators or sales / marketing folks doing data mining. The three modifiers, working on small data sets each time, lock each table they use for select with for update. Those individual rows get a row level lock, that has to be shared out with all the other backends. How much does that cost? In general, the third scenario is the most useful. It allows for truly huge read loads to exist on top of complex, slow modifiers and still get their job done. But it requires the writers to know what they are doing, semantically.
