Jones races to 16th in Vegas; Team EJP looking to finish 2003 on high note
Gardiner, ME: Eric Jones drove the Team EJP Chevrolet Silverado to a 16th-place finish in the Las Vegas 350 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 27th. Jones completed 144 of the race's 146 laps, and earned $7,890. Jones was scheduled to start from the 21st position, but was relegated to the back of the field for missing the pre-race drivers' meeting.
Jones rushed from his back-of-the-pack starting position and quickly fought his way into the top-20.
"We had a good truck and came from the back pretty quick," Jones said. "Then we had a caution and stayed out to get track position. It turned out we had a long green flag run after that, and it bit us. Whenever you come to Vegas, all everyone wants to talk about is taking a gamble, and that is what we did. We had to come down pit road for tires, and that put us a couple of laps down. We were able to make one of them back up, but we were a little disappointed. We definitely could have finished a whole lot better.
"We had come through some little problems throughout the day, for instance, we had a bad shock in qualifying that slowed us down and then the problem with missing the drivers' meeting, but we had a good truck and could have raced it into the top-10. We took a chance, and it didn't work out for us, but that is all part of racing."
Jones reflects back on the first part of his abbreviated 2003 schedule and is proud of the results Team EJP Racing has produced to this point.
"We are a part-time team," Jones said. "Sometimes when you aren't at the track every weekend, little things can jump out of no where to get you. That happened at Vegas with us missing the drivers' meeting. But these guys are fully prepared every time that transporter leaves the shop. I know when we get to the track everything that can be done has been done.
"It seems like we have had a little spell of bad luck, or something, here the past few races. But I am really proud of the results we have had to this point. If I had to point to one race, of course it would be Kansas where we qualified so well (seventh) and finished sixth. But there were two other races where we felt we were even better, but had little things pop up and get us. We had an awesome truck at Charlotte and got caught a lap down after a round of green flag stops. We were super fast at Texas, but rode around most of the night on seven cylinders. We know that without those problems, we had a truck to run in the top-5 at each of those races."
Jones points to a change in the engine program as one of the positive steps the team has made to finish out the 2003 season.
"We went to Hutter engines halfway through the year, and it has been a world of difference," Jones said. "The power is impressive, and we have noticed an increase in reliability. It definitely gives us more confidence to have a strong piece under the hood."
Jones and Team EJP Racing will attempt two more events in 2003, the upcoming event at Texas Motor Speedway, and the season finale at the newly-remodeled Homestead-Miami Speedway.
"I am looking forward to going back to Texas," Jones said. "We tested really well there in the Chevrolet test, and we had such a strong run there back in June. We are taking the same truck back there, and with the Hutter motors, we should be really strong down there.
"And I am really looking forward to going to Homestead. We are taking a brand-new truck down there, one we call Dracula. And I am anxious to see how the track is. I have heard it will be really fast. The biggest issue is if the asphalt is going to be cured or not. I hope it is and we have a good race. I know a lot of fans didn't like the old layout, but I liked it because it was different. I think the new layout is going to suit my driving style just fine, so we should have a very strong run to close out the season."

Judicial candidates filling war chests
Private lawyer Bruce G. Howie has the largest war chest in the race for a Pinellas-Pasco Circuit judgeship, but a closer look at campaign finance figures shows one of his opponents, Mary Handsel, actually has received more monetary contributions.
Who's giving the money? Keep reading.
Howie has put $29,500 of his own money into the race for the Group 6 judgeship He also has raised $10,476 from donors, giving him a campaign chest of $39,976.
Assistant state attorney Handsel has raised more than twice as much as Howie from donors. She has raised $21,795 in monetary donations and another $3,158 in in-kind donations. Only $4,100 of her $29,053 is her own money, records show.
A third candidate, assistant public defender Violet M. Assaid, has raised $11,580, about $6,000 of which is her own money.
Some of Howie's donors include Englander and Fischer; Beltz & Ruth; Rahdert, Steele, Bole & Reynolds (which represents the St. Petersburg Times); Hebert Law Group; and Brown & Doherty.
Handsel's donors also include a number of fellow prosecutors, as well as law enforcement officials. Her husband is a Pinellas sheriff's deputy.
Handsel's donors from attorneys include Declan Mansfield, George Tragos, Glenn Martin (a fellow prosecutor who ran against Handsel in the last election. Both lost to Chris Helinger); Sonny Im, a former judge; and Kara Siracusa, wife of former prosecutor and current judge Pat Siracusa.
Assaid, who specializes in representing the mentally ill, has several donations from some psychiatrists, mental health specialists and psychologists who have done work for the courts. She also has donations from several lawyers.
All three lawyers are seeking the bench occupied by Judge Marion Fleming, who is retiring.

Comments import to wrong posts
From a Google search it seems this is a common problem.
I have a LiveJournal site with over 1500 posts and 21,000 comments. Importing works fine; all the posts import correctly. The comments import, but often end up attached to incorrect posts.
Comments that are attached to the wrong post are usually erroneously listed as being made by "anonymous." Some of these posts are from people with LiveJournal accounts, some are not. (Some of them are even comments that I have posted!)
Some, but not all, of the comments that come in attached to the wrong posts end up "pending" rather than "approved".
There is no rhyme or reason to the posts that the comments end up getting assigned to; they don't get assigned to posts that are, for example, one or ten or a hundred posts away from the proper post. However, it is always consistent. If I delete the entire database and re-run the import 10 times, all 10 times the same comments will be attached to the wrong posts and they will be attached to the same posts.
Dates, times, and content of the comments always get imported correctly. Post authors, post numbers, and post thread numbers always get imported incorrectly.
There is no relationship between the correct post number of a comment that is imported incorrectly and the comment's thread number (for example, I had thought that perhaps commets were getting assigned, say, to post 80632 if their parent comment number was 80632, but that does not seem to be the case).
I can give specific examples of the data being returned from LiveJournal and the data as WordPress importer sees it. In one example, a comment is coming in from LiveJournal with the following information:
jitemid: 392101
parentid: 6843045
posterid: 2517416
But when the import plugin parses the comments, if I look in $matches[1] in the part of the plugin that examines the XML of the comments, for some reason it's coming back with
jitemid: 238112
parentid: 0
posterid: 0
Everything else (the comment body and so on) is OK. I don't know if there's a subtle error in the regex (I suck at regex!) or if it's not starting correctly at the header of this particular comment or what. When this comment is imported, it also ends up pending rather than approved.
Like I said, the failures are consistent. This particular comment ALWAYS ends up assigned to jitemid 238112.
Recent comments seem more prone to this problem than older comments. My blog has about 21,000 comments, about 1,000 of which end up attached to the wrong post and pending rather than approved, and another several thousand of which end up approved but still attached to the wrong post.

Maine Ins. Commissioner: Consider Flood InsuranceMarch 1st, 2009 Noyes Hall & Allen
Two days after this post on our blog, Maine's Insurance Superintendent, Mila Kofman, echoed our recommendation to consider flood insurance, especially following this winter's heavy snowfall.
Her bulletin points out that "now is the time for home and business owners to seriously consider the advantages of flood insurance". She further points out that 9 of 11 federal disaster declarations in Maine from 2000 to 2008 involved spring flooding, and that the damages "impacted every county in Maine on multiple occasions".
Don't forget that flood damage is not covered by homeowners or standard business policies, and that the National Flood Insurance Program has a mandatory 30 day waiting period before coverage takes effect (unless it's a new property purchase). Now really IS the time to think about protecting your property.
For more information about flood coverage, visit the Bureau of Insurance's flood information page, read our February 18 blog post, or contact us via our web site, or on Twitter.

Woolly Mammoth Reunites Original Cast and Creative Team for STUPID F##KING BIRD, Beginning Tonight
Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company is bringing back the bird and reuniting the entire cast and creative team of Aaron Posner's Stupid Fucking Bird after its runaway success in the summer of 2013. Nominated for eight Helen Hayes Awards and winner for Outstanding Resident Play and Outstanding New Play or Musical, Stupid Fucking Bird is directed by Woolly Artistic Director Howard Shalwitz and runs for three weeks, beginning tonight, July 28, 2014, and continuing through August 17, 2014.
In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov's The Seagull, award-winning playwright Aaron Posner wages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother's generation. A nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affection of a renowned novelist. And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art, and growing up can be.
Woolly has reassembled the entire original cast including Woolly Company Members Rick Foucheux* (R.U.R., The Choir, Dead Man's Cell Phone), Kimberly Gilbert* (You for Me for You, A Bright New Boise, In the Next Room or the vibrator play, Clybourne Park, Boom), and Kate Eastwood Norris* (Full Circle, Fever/Dream, She Stoops To Comedy) as well as noted actors and Woolly favorites Katie DeBuys*, Brad Koed*, Cody Nickell*, and Darius Pierce*.
The summer remount of Stupid Fucking Bird will serve as a precursor to Woolly's 35th Anniversary season, "Let Them Eat...," whetting appetites and setting the table for the theatre's most deliciously decadent season yet. Like Aaron Posner's struggling protagonists, Season 35's cast of characters are under attack from outside and inside forces-breaking down, breaking out, and groping toward new solutions.
More information about Stupid Fucking Bird and Woolly's 35th Anniversary Season is available at woollymammoth.net.
Aaron Posner (playwright) is a freelance director and playwright, an Associate Artist at the Folger Theatre and Milwaukee Rep, and was a founding Artistic Director of Philadelphia's Arden Theatre. His plays and productions have been seen at more than a third of the LORT theatres in the country. Aaron has been a fan of Woolly since the early 90's and directed In the Next Room or the vibrator play at Woolly in 2011. He has won Barrymore Awards as both a director and playwright and Helen Hayes Awards for Best Director three times in the last eight years. His published and produced adaptations include The Chosen, My Name Is Asher Lev (currently in an open-ended run Off-Broadway), Sometimes A Great Notion, Mark Twain's A Murder, A Mystery & A Marriage (with James Sugg), and many more. Aaron is an Eisenhower Fellow and a graduate of Northwestern University. He is originally from Eugene, Oregon, and lives just outside DC with his wife, actress Erin Weaver, and his tiny daughter, Maisie.
Howard Shalwitz (director) has been the visionary force behind Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company for 35 seasons. Howard received the 2011 Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Director for Clybourne Park, and has received multiple Helen Hayes nominations as both a director and an actor. In recent seasons, he directed the world premieres of Civilization, Fever/Dream and Big Death and Little Death, along with She Stoops to Comedy, Measure for Pleasure, and The Faculty Room. Howard has directed for leading New York and regional companies including New York Theatre Workshop, Playwrights Horizons, and Arena Stage. In 2012 he was recognized as Distinguished Finalist for the Zelda Fichandler Award for Outstanding Regional Director and in 2013 he was awarded the Margo Jones Medal for his contributions to American playwriting.
The Stupid Fucking Bird creative team also includes the Set Designer and Woolly Company Member Misha Kachman, Costume Designer Laree Lentz, Lighting Designer and Woolly Company Member Colin K. Bills, and sound design and original music by James Sugg. Woolly Mammoth's Associate Artistic Director Miriam Weisfeld serves as the Production Dramaturg and Kristy Matero* as the Production Stage Manager. *Member, Actors' Equity Association
THE STUPID FUCKING LOBBY - Patrons will have the opportunity to once again engage with the Stupid Fucking Bird Lobby Experience. Lobby activities originally designed and created in collaboration with Method 121-and profiled in the Capital Business section of The Washington Post-will enable patrons to explore the Pinspiration Boards of the production's artists to learn more about the design and production process and reimagine and share some of the play's most pivotal monologues. These activities will challenge patrons to unleash their inner artist and revolutionize Chekhov's classic work to create new, fresh, and accessible forms of the text.
Stupid Fucking Bird runs tonight, July 28 through August 17 with performances Wednesdays through Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm and 7pm. Monday, July 28 and Tuesday, July 29 will be Pay What You Can performances and will begin at 8pm.
Tickets to Stupid Fucking Bird start at $35 and can be purchased online at woollymammoth.net, by phone at (202) 393-3939, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or in person at the Box Office, located at 641 D Street NW. Patrons who are 30-years-old and younger may, at any time, purchase Section B tickets for $20 to any performance. There are also discounts available for first responder men and women and active US military personnel, spouses, and veterans. More information is available at woollymammoth.net.
Poised to begin its 35th Anniversary Season, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company continues to hold its place at the leading edge of American theatre. Acknowledged as "one of the most influential outposts for the best new American plays" (The Washington Post), and "known for its productions of innovative new plays" (The New York Times), Woolly Mammoth is a national leader in the development of new works, and one of the best known and most influential mid-sized theatres in America.

Two more draft picks getting closer to signing
After fifth-round pick Xavier Fulton signed on Wednesday, it appears the Bucs will likely have more rookie deals to announce soon.
They currently are in conversations with fourth-rounder Kyle Moore and seventh-rounder E.J. Biggers, according to their agent, Drew Rosenhaus. And general manager Mark Dominik said today there's been earlier movement this year on later-round picks while indicating the Bucs could have more deals in place by next week.
Deals for earlier picks, like that of QB Josh Freeman, are likely to come later. Another thing to keep in mind: Dominik says the Bucs currently have 85 players, including the five unsigned rookies. They'll have to release some players as rookies sign as they are allowed only a maximum of 80 players under contract during the offseason.
Some borderline prospects must really show up in minicamp next week if they're going to give the coaching staff reason to pause and reconsider them.

TARPON SPRINGS — Police are seeking the public's help in catching a smash-and-grab burglar who swiped three rare revolvers from a Tarpon Springs gun shop last week.
Around 4 a.m. on Jan. 28, a man used a stolen Chrysler Fifth Avenue to ram through the front of Silver Bullet Guns at 914 S Pinellas Ave., Suite B, according to Tarpon police.
The impact separated the glass storefront from the wall, and the burglar was able to climb into the business. He then smashed a glass case and stole three revolvers — two Colt Pythons and a Colt Diamondback, police said.
Video surveillance shows that the man made a beeline for those guns, said Tarpon Springs police Detective B. Wireman. The revolvers are collector's items and worth thousands of dollars apiece.
"He just goes specifically for those items," Wireman said. "It was in and out. He obviously knew what he was looking for."
The Chrysler was stolen, and was found several hours after the burglary at Lo Garto Apartments on Milwaukee Avenue in Dunedin.
The man appears to be white and was last seen wearing black clothing, black shoes and gloves, police said. He wore a black hooded sweat shirt that appeared to have a yellow or gold design that looks like a winged bird design or a U.S. seal on the back, police said.
The guns stolen were: a Colt Python .357 Magnum, nickel, 4-inch barrel, rosewood (red) grip with serial number U83017; a Colt Python .357 Magnum, blue, 4-inch barrel, wood checkered grip with Colt medallion with an unknown serial number; and a Colt Diamondback .38 Special, blue, 4-inch barrel, wood checkered grip with Colt medallion, with serial number 584502.
Tarpon police are asking anyone with information about the incident or the suspect to call Detective B. Wireman at (727) 938-2849.

The Minnesota Specialty Health System-Cambridge is beginning to move from its current location on East Rum River Drive South and provide services statewide in small, community-based settings.
The Health System recently signed a five-year lease agreement, with an option to renewal, on two residential properties in Isanti County in order to continue to provide program services to its clients.
One of the homes is located on 2 acres south of Stratton Lake on Lincoln Drive northeast in Athens Township. The other property, located on 6 acres, is northwest of Cambridge near Moon Lake on 336th Avenue.
Department of Human Services Deputy Commissioner Anne Barry explained the residential homes will be used to house new clients to the Minnesota Speciality Health System. She said the six current clients housed at the Health System in Cambridge are transitioning back to their respective communities across the state.
The Health System is a short-term crisis stabilization program that serves individuals with developmental disabilities who have presented a risk in the community. People referred to the Cambridge program can come from anywhere: a family home; their own home or apartment; county jail, a group home, a homeless shelter or a community hospital.
Barry said the move off the property is needed to be in substantial compliance with Olmstead Principles and the Jensen Settlement.
According to the Department of Human Services, Olmstead is a Supreme Court decision that requires states to provide services for people with disabilities in the most integrated settings in the community appropriate to their needs instead of segregating them from the public in institutions.
The department added that Jensen refers to the settlement of the lawsuit brought against what was then called the Minnesota Extended Treatment Option Program (METO) in Cambridge.
The lawsuit originated as a result of the inappropriate use of restraints and seclusion at the METO Facility. The Jensen settlement required a variety of changes, the most significant being, the closure of the METO program, improvements in staff training, the elimination of certain restraints and a commitment to use of best practices with regard to restraints and seclusion. Finally, in the Jensen Settlement, DHS made a commitment to create an Olmstead Plan to serve people with disabilities in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs.
"This model using residential treatment homes will be a new model for us, as it's an emphasis on treatment," Barry said. "We have had group homes and adult foster care settings around for more than 20 years, but this is an emphasis on treatment. The folks who stay in these homes will transition back out to their communities and be placed back with their families, guardians, etc. From Day 1, one of our goals is to work with them on getting them back into permanent housing situations."
Steve Jensen, director of Minnesota Specialty Health System-Cambridge, said the residential homes are undergoing final licensing requirements and inspections, and are expected to be operational in mid-March. The Athens Township home is licensed for four clients, while the Cambridge-area home is licensed for three clients.
"It's our responsibility to place people with developmental disabilities in the most integrative settings," Barry said. "We serve a special population at the campus who have undergone some tragic event in their life. Virtually all the people who come to us have previously lived in the community successfully with their family or a group home setting, but something then happened, and the folks we serve are sometimes not the best in handling their expressions and emotions and end up in trouble with the law, or with a staff person that had been caring for them.
"We take people who have been committed to us by the courts, or we also accept voluntary commitments. We work with these people to help them get back into their previous living arrangements. … We help them learn to deal with their issues in a successful manner and get them stable. We also do follow-up support as needed after they leave us; most who leave our program do not come back," she added.
In addition to having developmental disabilities, individuals supported by the Health System may also have some mental illness, physical disabilities or brain injury.
Jensen said the Health System is skilled and experienced at supporting their clients to move past their crises and learn the skills they need to keep it from happening again. He said every person served by the Health System has lived successfully in the community before and will live successfully in the community again.
He explained the program uses best practices and interventions specifically designed for the person to transition back home, or to a new home in a community of their choice where they can receive the level of supports they need to be successful again. In addition, the state has often been able to support people in the community so they can stay in their homes and not have to move to Cambridge or another facility.
Jensen said by becoming a community-based service, the Health System will be able to provide more integrated services with emphasis on individualized programs, positive behavior supports, jobs and a more rapid transition. Clients may then move more quickly and successfully into the most integrated settings in communities of their choice.
Clients of the program have been exploited by others; some have committed crimes but are not competent to stand trial. Many have had a recent experience with a rare but serious incident of aggressive behavior that has made it difficult to stay in their homes or keep their jobs.
Key objectives of the program include:
• Divert people referred to the program from having to leave their current homes by providing an array of support services to help them and those who support them.
• Provide temporary housing in communities as close to the person's preferred home community as possible when diversion efforts fail or the individual is without a home when referred.
• Provide transition support for a return to the community and a home of preference in the shortest possible time. The goal is for the person to transition back to the community in 90 days or less.
• Continue to work to maintain a therapeutic relationship with an individual after he or she is stabilized and returns home or is transitioned to a new home. Cambridge will engage with the person, at whatever level may be appropriate and acceptable to the person, to help avoid future crises.
Jensen explained there will be a minimum of one residential supervisor on site at the homes at all times, and two staff on duty during the evening hours. He explained as many as 20 staff members — such as psychologists, nurses, behavioral analysts and program leads — will be in and out of the homes each day working with the clients on their program needs.
"Our staff at the Minnesota Specialty Health System-Cambridge are highly trained, and exceed their required hours every year as they are in constant training," Jensen said.
Mark Brostrom, operations manager of Minnesota Specialty Health System-Cambridge, said the organization has met informally with some neighbors of the Athens Township home and addressed any concerns the neighbors may have had. He said future "official meet and greets" with the neighbors are being planned in neighborhoods for both homes.
Jensen said the homes are temporary residential "treatment centers" for the Healthy System clients.
"These homes are for those who have had trauma or difficulties in their life, and they enter into these positive environments filled with positive messages of who they are and who they can be," Jensen said. "We help them build their life and teach them the skills they need to be successful in life again."
Jensen said the residential homes are places for the client to get back hope.
"We talk to our clients and really dig deep down to figure out what happened in their life or what happened in their life that caused this traumatic event," Jensen said. "We help them to dream again about things they can do in their life that they never thought possible. We really do have highly skilled clinicians working in our program and are highly regarded in Minnesota, as well as across the country."
In September 2013, the state announced plans to house clients of the Minnesota Sex Offender Program on the current Health System property on East Rum River Drive South. However, in November 2013, Gov. Mark Dayton suspended the department's plans to transfer any sexual predators to other tightly supervised facilities, such as in Cambridge, until certain conditions have been met.

Why See Sebastian Maniscalco?
Razor-sharp observational comedy!
When most people get mad, they tend find a way to overcome their anger. Sebastian Maniscalco, on the other hand, uses his rage to fuel his acerbic, quick-witted stand-up comedy. With the point of view only an old-school Italian-American upbringing could produce, Maniscalco takes aim at the disintegration of society and the annoyances of the daily grind with hilarious consequences. From denigrating selfies as "lonelies" and casting a baleful eye over wordy restaurant reviews and pesky online technology, there's very little that escapes his ire! Catch his acerbic humour at Paramount Theater in Denver , CO , November 3, 2017
Overcoming a somewhat bumpy start in stand-up, Maniscalo moved to LA at the age of 24, honing his craft while waiting tables for eight years. He caught his big break when actor Vince Vaughn spotted him and asked him to join his 2005 Vince Vaughn�s Wild West Comedy Show tour. Since then he has appeared on TV shows like Comedy Central Presents, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Comics Unleashed.

Even The Dolphins Believe The Dolphins 'Stink'
The Miami Dolphins are currently 0-6 this season. They are arguably the worst team in the NFL. Many fans have said they stink. Now, some of the players are saying their teammates 'stink' too.
The Dolphins lost to the Denver Broncos 18-15 in overtime last Sunday. Following the game, Dolphins' running back Reggie Bush said that the Dolphins 'stink'. Safety Yeremiah Bell didn't care for Bush's comment. "He stinks," Bell said emphatically. "That shouldn't be said around this locker room," Bell stated according to the Examiner.com. "We know that we're 0-6 and we're not playing the best but at the same time there's no need for that."
Reggie Bush stood by what he said. "I still stand by it because there's nothing fun about being 0-6," Bush said. "There's no room for sensitivity in this league. This is a man's game and we all signed on the dotted line. It's time for a little gut check," Bush added. "What do we want to do? Do we want to listen to the media and maybe lose the rest of these games, and play for the first pick? Or do we want to play for a little pride and turn this thing around, and maybe make a push for the playoffs?"
Okay, I was halfway with Reggie until he mentioned the playoffs. You can really sense the added frustration from Reggie Bush who came from enjoying a lot of team success with the New Orleans Saints the last few seasons. Let's face it, the Dolphins stink. However, it's not going to help anything for players to say that their teammates stink. Just play ball, Fins.

Back in my foggy distant past I seem to remember that some company offered a boot or "sabot" that fit over your existing trigger that made the trigger fatter or more of a beaver tail type trigger, if you will. Who was it that offered this or was it too much Jack Daniels?:eek:
Thanks in advance!!
Thanks in advance!!

IT MAY look like a seamless production to the audience, but behind the scenes at the Wyvern Theatre's pantomime there is a team working hard to keep the show going.
Waiting in the wings are a whole host of technical staff changing sets behind screens while the actors are on stage – sometimes with less than three minutes to get the next scene ready.
Aladdin, which stars Keith Chegwin as Wishee Washee, is at the theatre in the town centre until January 6.
Stage manager, David Jell, said: "During the show we are always busy. We never have time to watch the pantomime. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that the audience don't see. When the actors are on stage and the cloth is down behind them we are taking big bits of set off.
"The longest scene change we have got is three minutes, most of them are less than that. "We challenge ourselves and we just try and do it as quickly as possible.
"There are times when it is tight. That is where we get the buzz from."
The biggest scene change in the show is for the finale, which involves bringing a staircase on stage.
"Keith sings piano man to entertain the audience while we change the set for the finale. As soon as he goes on stage we are changing the whole stage behind him. The whole show builds up to that because we know it is the biggest scene in the show," he said.
"Keith makes the song last as long as we need. As soon as we are ready we put the cue lights on and he knows to finish the song."
David said pantomime is one of the best times of the year to be working at the theatre.
"For us it is a lot of fun because the whole building just comes together. The first couple of weeks are pressured and stressful but once you get into it you get to know the cast a lot better and they get to know us," he said.
Technical manager Ben Hardstaff said they start work behind the scenes at the pantomime in the summer.
Ben and David work alongside the lighting designer and the director to get the set ready for the first technical rehearsal.
Before each show the lighting operator checks every light in the show, sound operators check the microphones, speakers and sound effects.

Butter Tea: Traditional Tibetan tea similar to the Darjeeling tea of India but made with yak butter. Butter tea is often made by elderly Tibetan women and served to young monks during meditation. It is also served at a Tibetan Monk's initiation.
Chuba: A traditional kimono-like garment worn by both male and female Tibetans. The chuba is not worn by male Tibetans in India but has been modified for the female into a long dress with an undershirt and apron.
Karma Pa: The physical manifestation of the karma of the incarnations of the Buddha.
Karma Pa literally means "movement of karma." The current reincarnation of Karma Pa is the seventeenth Dahlia Lama.
Lama: The Tibetan term for a respected religious teacher, equivalent to the Sanskrit term guru. A lama is not necessarily a monk, though Chinese politicians use the term incorrectly to refer to any monk or reincarnate.
Mandala: A traditional form of meditation in which the Tibetan Buddhist monk spends hours in the creation of a religious depiction using only tiny grains of colored sand. When the creation is completed the monk sweeps the sand into the air in recognition of the impermanence of all things worldly.
Mantra: The recitation of a word or words with significant religious meaning. The mantra may be chanted, sung, thought or viewed by the Buddhist who uses it in meditation. Traditionally, the Tibetan mantra is Om Mani Padme Hum, a teaching of the Buddha that cannot be translated into a simple word or phrase in English.
Prayer Wheel: The traditional Tibetan tool of prayer, often a metal wheel on a wooden handle that spins, always to the right, to spread the thousands of mantras that are written in Tibetan script on a scroll of paper within the wheel.
Sidh Bar: The temple and monastery that houses the seventeenth reincarnation of Karma Pa, located in Northern India near Dharamsala and the temple that houses the Dalai Lama.
Stupa: A Buddhist monument used for meditation and worship that traditionally housed the relic of a holy person or site. The stupa today is less likely to hold a relic and more a symbolic altar for those who desire to quiet their minds and transcend to a state of meditation and communication.
Tangka: In Tibetan, the word "tangka" means silk, satin or cloth painting scroll. It is a traditional aid to meditation, hand-painted with interpretations of the Buddhist scripture. Tangkas are hung in Tibetan homes and are believed to protect and bless those who view them.

Anthony Hargrove received the shocking news while sitting in a meeting room exactly two weeks and one day ago today.
He rushed home to meet with detectives and console his family.
"When we woke up that morning, going to a funeral parlor and making arrangements for your brother's death wasn't something on my mind," Hargrove said Thursday. "We expected him to come home that morning."
Instead, Terrence Hargrove went to the hospital, where he died from stab wounds to his chest. Police found him in a house in a northern suburb of Sarasota, Fla., at 3:30 a.m. He was 29.
Anthony, 27, and Terrence were tight. They played football together at Port Charlotte (Fla.) High School and lived together for a while in Buffalo when Anthony played for the Bills.
It was Terrence who convinced Anthony to become a football player. And it was Terrence who convinced him to enter rehab when Anthony's life hit rock bottom a few years ago.
"We spilled blood, sweat and tears together," Anthony said. "I still have days where I sit in the shower and just cry."
Anthony Hargrove has endured more than his share of tragedy in his life.
At the age of 6, he and his siblings endured homelessness when the Brooklyn tenement home they lived in with their mother burned down.
His mother died from AIDS complications when he was 9. He never really knew his father. He and two siblings bounced from foster care to the homes of extended relatives. They found stability under the roof of his aunt, Gloria Hargrove, who moved them to her home in Port Charlotte.
As an NFL player, he fought drug and alcohol addictions and twice was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Since getting clean, Hargrove's life and career have taken off. He emerged as a regular in the New Orleans Saints' defensive line rotation and helped the team win a Super Bowl. His infectious enthusiasm and compelling comeback story made him one of the most popular players on the team.
This offseason had been one of his best yet. The NFL lockout allowed him to spend more time doing what he loves best: counseling and mentoring troubled youth.
He also spent much of the spring coaching a local semi-pro football team, the Florida Veterans. Most of his siblings -- Team Hargrove as they are called -- were involved in some capacity.
Then the bombshell phone call came.
"You're standing there trying to be strong for everybody, but your brother's gone," Hargrove said. "It was hard. I still hear his voice. I still see his smile."
Considering his arduous past, it'd be easy for Hargrove to become bitter. Yet, during an interview Thursday not once did he question life, or ask, Why me?
"My faith is carrying me through this," he said. "Sometimes life isn't fair. You can't act out in anger or frustration. Just because you don't like what happened is not a reason to go backwards."
Those who know Hargrove best know he's never been a back-peddler. He attacks life these days with the same unbridled passion that he does quarterbacks and kickoff return wedges.
"He's been amazing," said Phil Williams, Hargrove's longtime agent, friend and adviser. "He's handled this with such class and maturity. I'm proud of him."
The Hargroves still don't know the full story behind Terrence's death. Police are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine if the death was a homicide, suicide or accident. Until then, investigators have labeled it "a suspicious death."
"We're just taking what they give us so far," Hargrove said.
Uncertainty also rules Hargrove's career.
If and when the lockout ends, he is expected to be declared an unrestricted free agent. He said he isn't sure what plans the Saints have for him, if any.
Wherever he plays, he'd like to return to his favored position, defensive end. He's down to about 280 pounds, 10 pounds less than his playing weight with New Orleans, where he played primarily as a situational pass-rushing defensive tackle.
He said he'd love to return to the Saints but also understands the numbers game. Two of the club's top offseason acquisitions were defensive linemen. The Saints signed veteran defensive tackle Shaun Rogers and selected defensive end Cameron Jordan in the first round of the NFL draft. With Will Smith, Alex Brown and Sedrick Ellis all set to return, he knows his future in New Orleans is tenuous.
"I love New Orleans, but we've all seen the transactions," Hargrove said. "That kind of paints a picture for you."
If indeed Hargrove's career is over in New Orleans after two years, he said he's grateful. Not only for the chance to win a Super Bowl ring for but for the opportunity to resurrect his career and life.
While he and Williams hope the Saints make a contract offer, they won't lose sleep if they don't. On or off the field, he's not into going backward.
"No matter what happens, Tony will be OK," Williams said. "It will not faze him one bit, I promise you. This is nothing stuff to him."

text: Hi all ya out there, decided to do something funny and grabbed debian from ftp.nl.net...... before this I was running slackware 1.1.1, but was not completely satisfied, and I was bored anyway, so I took the big step and went on to a new instal- lation. So, I selected which packages i wanted (a selection from categories devel, doc util, ghostscript and net), send them over to my home, made floppies from this (my own arrangement....), rawritten the basedisks, and booted. It looked very nice indeed (suggestion to make it even nicer, add colors to the menu. ex-dos users just *love* colors. take blue for background, white for text, and yellow for checkmarks or something like that :-). went on with installing base, no prob at all (I already had my hd partitioned, so I haven't looked into this option. I hope it is clear enough,cos dos-users probably don't no shit about partitions and stuff). Another comment on the words 'mounting' and 'file-system'. Maybe, just maybe, a little more explanation is justified here, for the computer-illiterate people out there.... created the boot-disk, logged in as root and run 'dpkg'. Same comment here, try to add some color.... At first the difference between 'select category' and 'package selection' wasn't clear to me, so maybe a little more comment there too. I heared something about a re-write of dpkg in C. If so, maybe a selection- mechanism with a moving selectionbar (you know, cursor up, cursor down) and selection with <space> is little trouble to build in. I sure would like it. I was a bit surprised when I found out that I had to exit dpkg and type 'dpkg --process /dev/fd0 msdos' to actually install the packages. Isn't it possible to add an item 'Do installation' in dpkg????? sounds very logical to me. then the strange stuff..... when installing some packages (of the top of my head: gsfonts1.deb gsfonts2.deb gsmisc.deb gsnox.deb linuxsrc.deb, and most (if not all) of the packages from 'util'), dpkg said something like: package not installed and then, in the and of the procedure, told me that the packages where 'encrypted' and that I was using an old version of gzip ........ Now is there something wrong with the copy of the files on the site where I got them, or what?? I checked, debian uses gzip v1.2.4, which is, to my best knowledge the latest. One more thing I now remember..... The first time I installed packages, I accidentally type 'q' <return>. So, logically, dpkg exited (it's supposed to). When I then restarted dpkg with 'dpkg --process /dev/fd0 msdos' , I found out I had to make the selections again! dpkg had forgotten about the selection I made before. not nice :-). And at last, when the installation was completed (except for the packages mentioned above), dpkg asked me if it should generate a whatis database. I answered with yes, but it didn't...... Maybe I'm just repeating things mentioned here long before. If so, I'm sorry, but I only subscribed to this list yesterday (again, I've been on it before), and this is the first time I'm trying to install debian myself..... And I'm sorry I'm not able to donate any money or hardware, but I'm just a poor student (If I had a job, I'd probably send you a quarter or two :-). Maybe I can donate time in some near future. Have to familiarize myself a little with this stuff first, and build up my selfconsiousness...

Regarding the proposal of a plenary council of American bishops to address the root causes of the priest-ly sexual abuse scandal ("Eight Bishops Call for a Council on Scandal's Causes," Aug. 18–24):
The intentions of the eight bishops are clearly praiseworthy, but I think such a council is very premature. At this point, a council could only be an organizational approach to the problems. The roots of the problems, however, are not organizational but a lack of supernatural faith and a way of life more of the world than of the Kingdom. Moreover, this lack of faith and worldly way of life has infected all the members of the American Church, whether clergy, religious or laity. We are impressed, rightly so, with the productivity of our economic and political institutions. We are gravely tempted to ape their methods.
Jesus used no such methods. His "method" today is still to call us to "repent and believe the Good News." The Apostles founded the Church but they did not "organize" it. Rather, they proclaimed Jesus Christ, brought people out of paganism to him, nourished them with the sacraments and made of them a community in Christ. Yes, they held a council, but the problem which it addressed [whether gentile converts had to keep Jewish ceremonial law] had really already been solved by the Lord's call of St. Paul and by his astounding labors in the spirit. The apostolic council of Jerusalem came at the right time, to codify what had already been worked out. The early Church worked out their problems and carried on their "programs" by living the life of Christ. The "handing on" of the faith is accomplished by living it as an encounter with Christ, not by "blueprints and programs." We are over-burdened by programs. We have all the teaching documents we need at this point.
The solution is saints. And we need to look to the saints for solutions. One of these in the modern world is surely Pope John Paul II. He has already given us the agenda for The Church in America, a lamentably neglected document. This post-synodal apostolic exhortation is subTITLEd On the Encounter with the Living Lord Jesus Christ: The Way to Conversion, Communion and Solidarity in America. Short of a plenary council, some sort of assembly might be helpful, but one of people who are working to implement the Holy Father's interpretation of the Second Vatican Council.
We face a situation in modern secular culture that is even more daunting than the Church faced in the ancient Hellenic Roman world. What is needed above all are a few bishops, priests, religious and lay leaders to show the rest of us how to encounter the living Lord Jesus Christ, to live that life in the Church and to sort out the good in the modern world, just as the Church sorted it out in the ancient world, that we, in solidarity with all Americans, might save our nation from the culture of death.

Willmar, Minn., man sent back to secure unit at Prairie Lakes
WILLMAR — On Monday, a district judge ordered Andrew Charles Wyman be sent back to the secure unit of Prairie Lakes Youth Programs for violating the rules at the non-secure program of the youth detention center.
District Judge Kathryn N. Smith also ordered a 30-day review hearing, set for Jan. 7, for the now 19-year-old man sentenced to the youth facility on arson, burglary and theft charges for his role in the two-week crime spree of stealing and destroying vehicles and setting fire to an occupied Willmar home in May 2011.
During the review hearing in Kandiyohi County District Court, Smith noted that Wyman had violated the rules by having a cell phone at Prairie Lakes and being absent from his workplace and subsequently being fired from his job. She also noted that efforts were made by probation officials and Prairie Lakes officials to help Wyman stay in the non-secure unit of the program.
Wyman and his accomplice, Chase John Hodapp, 20, of Willmar, were both charged with multiple felony counts after the crime spree. Wyman was sentenced to a juvenile sentence, with a stayed adult sentence of 75 months in prison, in September 2011.
While he was serving his juvenile sentence, Wyman absconded from Prairie Lakes in February and was taken into custody April 3 by CEE-VI Drug Task Force agents. He admitted during an April 23 hearing that he and his roommate absconded from Prairie Lakes and then he hitchhiked to California.
In May, Judge Smith ordered Wyman to return to Prairie Lakes and complete the programs in both the secure and non-secure units of the center. He was also ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution.
Hodapp was sentenced to 39 months in prison in the case. According to the State Department of Corrections website, Hodapp is at the Minnesota Corrections Facility at Stillwater. His expected release date from prison is July 3, 2013, and his release date from supervision is Aug. 2, 2014. He was ordered to pay $39,219.54 in restitution and $450 in fines.

A Ventura County District Attorney's Office report on a June, 2011 officer involved shooting says that there isn't enough evidence to tell whether the shooting of a murder suspect was justified, but that there isn't enough information to say wrongdoing occurred.
Jesus Farias shot to death a man in the San Diego area, and fled to Ventura. Two days later, Ventura Police received information Farias was hiding at a Pomo Street home.
After getting a search warrant, they tried to arrest him.
Farias tried to flee out the back of the house, but after being confronted by officers, and ordered to surrender, he tried to run back to the house, and was shot once in the back.
The wound left him paralyzed.
Before the raid, officers had been informed Farias was armed, and was a gang member.
In a 30 page report, DA's investigators say there isn't enough evidence to determine if the shooting by the officer was legally justified, but they also say there is insufficient evidence to charge the officer with any type of crime.
Farias entered a guilty plea to a voluntary manslaughter charge for the San Diego killing, and was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Mechanism study of goldenseal-associated DNA damage.
Chen S, Wan L, Couch L, Lin H, Li Y, Dobrovolsky VN, Mei N, Guo L
Goldenseal has been used for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments including gastrointestinal disturbances, urinary tract disorders, and inflammation. The five major alkaloid constituents in goldenseal are berberine, palmatine, hydrastine, hydrastinine, and canadine. When goldenseal was evaluated by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) in the standard 2-year bioassay, goldenseal induced an increase in liver tumors in rats and mice; however, the mechanism of goldenseal-associated liver carcinogenicity remains unknown. In this study, the toxicity of the five goldenseal alkaloid constituents was characterized, and their toxic potencies were compared. As measured by the Comet assay and the expression of gamma-H2A.X, berberine, followed by palmatine, appeared to be the most potent DNA damage inducer in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Berberine and palmatine suppressed the activities of both topoisomerase (Topo) I and II. In berberine-treated cells, DNA damage was shown to be directly associated with the inhibitory effect of Topo II, but not Topo I by silencing gene of Topo I or Topo II. In addition, DNA damage was also observed when cells were treated with commercially available goldenseal extracts and the extent of DNA damage was positively correlated to the berberine content. Our findings suggest that the Topo II inhibitory effect may contribute to berberine- and goldenseal-induced genotoxicity and tumorigenicity.

Sounds like back in the day when you register you daily driver for the demolition derby. Maybe send the family to the mall and keep any firefighting equipment close at hand. Take plenty of pictures for forum archive and keep the C.O. detector hand. This is sounding like a planned train wreck and I will look through my fingers. If this works I'm going back to grilling hot dogs in my toaster!
I forgot to mention, best of luck!
This is hilarious!! Thanks for that vote of confidence!!

Looks like Drake has been replaced as Chris Brown's brawling partner.
The "Nobody's Business" singer purportedly got into a fight with Frank Ocean Sunday at a recording studio in Los Angeles, with Ocean taking to Twitter to share his version of events and the alleged injuries he sustained.
"Got jumped by chris and a couple guys. Lol," he claimed, adding, "cut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys."
Police reportedly responded to a call alerting them to an altercation between six men at a location along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood.The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed that Breezy is currently being investigated for allegedly assaulting someone on Sunday, but has not disclosed the victim's identity.
Officers subsequently spoke with witnesses at the scene, who claim that the dustup stemmed from a scuffle over a parking space and that Brown allegedly punched the victim in question.

Hey there, pretty ladies! Danielle here with a Beauty Bomb!
Actress (and object of my girl-crush) Gabrielle Union was recently spotted in a gorgeous "I'm naturally this beautiful" nude makeup look at the 27th Annual PaleyFest presents "FlashForward" in Beverly Hills. While the natural look is one of the most requested makeup looks, it can actually take more to pull off than its brighter counterparts. But yours truly has got the scoop on how to snag her look. Check it out:
1. As always, beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin. Be sure to rid your face of sneaky facial hair and groom your brows. Then follow with cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin according to your skin type.
2. Give yourself a smooth background to work with by applying a foundation primer like Make Up For Ever Microperfecting Primer after you moisturize. Foundation primers help to smooth out any fine lines and pores and gives your foundation something to adhere to. Follow with a full coverage foundation that appears virtually invisible on your skin like Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation. Set with a loose powder like Becca Fine Loose Finishing Powder.
3. To bring out your eyes, choose three eyeshadow colors: one should be about your skin tone, one should be about 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone, and one should be about 2-3 shades lighter than your skin tone. Also grab an eyeshadow primer like MAC Paint to help your shadow stay put. Use the skin tone shade on the lid with a blending brush like MAC #224, use the dark shade in your outer crease (also known as the 'V") with a heavy blending brush like MAC #217, and use the light shade on your brow bone with a clean blending brush (so you don't "muddy" the two colors). For some eyeshadow shade suggestions, check out A Guide to MAC Eyeshadows.
Line your eyes with a waterproof eye pencil like Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Mat Black OL. If black is too harsh, try a brown like Pearly Brown 2L or Light Brown 19L (both by Make Up For Ever).
Then apply 2-3 coats of a volumizing mascara for that "doe-eyed" look. Try Benefit BADgal Lash. Perk up sleepy eyes with Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, a concealer pen that adds radiance to the under eye area.
4. For a beautiful glow, apply a bright and pigmented blush to your cheeks. Now don't freak out—bright blush colors don't read as "bright" on darker skin tones but are perfect to show up on all shades of brown skin.
If you're light skin (think Rihanna or Jurnee Smollet) try a bold peachy-pink blush like NARS Blush in Amour.
If you're caramel skin (think Queen Latifah or Halle Berry) try a cinnamon blush like NARS Blush in Mounia.
If you're brown skin (think Nia Long or Gabrielle Union) try a mid-tone rose blush like NARS Blush in Taos.
If you're dark skin (think Kelly Rowland or Alek Wek) try a bright reddish-orange blush like NARS Blush in Exhibit A.
You can choose any blush color outside my suggestions, but as a rule, the darker your skin, the brighter the blush. But definitely go with color because a nude look can make the skin look flat. For a refresher on blush, check out Blush 101.
5. Dress your lips in a nude lip color. "Nude" means something different for each skin tone. If you're light skin, try a medium pink like MAC Lipstick in Blankety; caramel skin try a taupe brown like MAC Lipstick in Shitaki; brown and dark skin try a pinkish-brown like Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Cocoa Berry. Or try a universal brown girl nude like Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in #714 Model Brown. Bobbi Brown has a great selection of nude lipsticks for every skin tone, so hightail it over to a counter if you're still stumped.
Sometimes in order to get a true nude, you may gave to blot out your lips with a bit of concealer so they're more even toned. It's common amongst women of color to have two-toned lips. Also use a lip liner in the same tones of your lip color or your natural lip color to help your lipstick or gloss stay put longer.
6. Finish the look with a few spritzes of MAC Fix+ to give the skin some radiance and to avoid the dreaded powdery "cake face" look.

Product strategy is a topic in the minds of everyone involved with developing and selling a product. Most product failures are attributed to "bad strategy". This discussion will take a look at product strategy from a fresh perspective - from that of the experimental school . We'll compare and contrast the experimental approach with the more prevalent "God complex" approach. What we share and learn could inspire us to challenge and test our approaches to strategy as a practice going forward.
Prabhakar Gopalan, Strategy Consultant, will be speaking at the weekly Global Product Management Talk on Twitter Monday, December 12, 2011 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, which will be Tuesday, December 13 at 11:00 AM Australian Time using the hashtag #prodmgmttalk

Q1 Who owns product strategy in your organization? product management? product marketing? development? does it matter?
Q2 How many of you write and follow a 'strategy document'? Does it actually work?
Q3 Does your executive team take strategy input from your team or from some other source? (e.g. external consulting firms)
Q4 What would be one reason your product strategy failed? (past/present/an experience)
Q5 Does your business have a long term roadmap and what value does it provide?
[How many of you have a product 3+ year roadmap? How good have you been on delivering what's on your roadmap? Do you think it makes sense to have one? (long term)]
Q6 How does organizational design affect strategy?
Q7 Do executives in your organization empower line managers and developers to experiment?
Q8 How do agile development methods affect (positively) in your product strategy?
Q9 Does cloud computing help you in your experiments? In what ways, how?

Who Owns the Product? From "Smart product decisions" Roger Cauvin's blog
The most successful product teams possess a culture in which the team owns the product. Each member of the team - whether a developer, sales person, marketer, support specialist, or tester - has strengths and plays roles that contribute to the team effort, and ultimately to market acceptance and product profits. They all feel accountable for the success of the product and the team, and there is no need for a "single throat to choke". This form of accountability is a highly effective motivator and yields impressive productivity and outcomes.

A Deal This Businessman Simply Doesn't Get
I learned from a story in the Jewish Exponent (City & Suburb: "Palestinian Legislator to Appeal for Support," April 27) that a legal adviser to the Philadelphia City Council and a local businessman were to host Hanan Ashwari – one of Yasser Arafat's mouthpieces – to raise funds for a "children's charity" with ties to Hamas.
For years, Ashwari was in the perfect position to ensure that billions of international aid dollars went to support Palestinian children.
Instead, she covered for Arafat while he stole that money from the kids.
I am puzzled: Why are people who claim to care about children's welfare honoring an assistant to the man most responsible for their misery?
And why are Jews helping her to raise money for an organization with ties to terrorism directed against Jews?
I've been told I'm a good businessman, but this is one deal I do not get.

When Palestinians Love Their Kids, Not Warfare
I was troubled when I read "Palestinian Legislator to Appeal for Support" (City & Suburb, April 27).
As a compassionate person, I understand how others might be interested in supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. However, I have a number of problems with the event arranged by Steve Masters and Robert Brand.
First, the Palestinian Authority has ample resources to care for its children. The fact that it chooses to divert those resources into a weapons program is certainly a problem for Palestinian society, but it's their choice to make. When Palestinians elected in the terrorist group Hamas, they made their preference clear.
Second, every dollar foreigners give to the Palestinians is one more dollar the P.A. does not have to spend on its own people, thereby freeing funds for violence against Israel.
Third, the P.A. and its constituent terror organizations regularly encourage and train children as terrorists. They also use kids and other civilians as human shields.
The more we ease their burden, the less cost there will be for them to wage war against Israel and its people.
To paraphrase Golda Meir, peace will come only when the Palestinians love their children more than they hate ours.
Michael J. Rosen
Court Verdict Vindicates Those Who Took a Stand
We draw satisfaction from the outcome of the case against Sami al-Arian – "an agent of terror" – involving a plea bargain, jail time and deportation for his role in fundraising for Islamic Jihad (Editorial: "Guilty as Charged, May 4).
In 1996, the Anti-Defamation League in Philadelphia was criticized for expressing concern that al-Arian was to speak at the 14th annual meeting of the American Council for the Study of Islamic Societies at Villanova University.
At the time, al-Arian was under investigation for allegedly using his position as an academic to promote the cause of Islamic terrorism.
So we wrote to Villanova's president, Rev. Edmund J. Dobbin, to convey our concerns. Subsequently, Villanova determined al-Arian was not welcome on campus.
Upon learning this, the Middle East Studies Association adopted a resolution stating that the ADL had created "an atmosphere of incitement and intimidation resulting in the cancellation of an academic event."
We responded by saying that "meaningful academic freedom contemplates a complete understanding of the relevant facts," and that Villanova's decision to cancel al-Arian was made of its own accord once those involved realized the extent of the man's ties.
The actions of the U.S. District Court serve as a vindication for the ADL's actions, as well as for those of Villanova University, and of federal law-enforcement authorities.

Zemar Melgerei, convicted sex offender, caught on Fairfax High School campus
Officials say a man who was arrested on the Fairfax High School campus Wednesday and is a convicted sex offender was spotted inside a boys' locker room the day before.
Fairfax Police said Zemar Melgerai was inside the boys' locker room on Tuesday, the day before he was arrested on the grounds of Fairfax High School. Police say several male students reported seeing Melgerai in the locker room.
On Wednesday, Police said Melgerai did not make his way inside a school building, but was spotted on campus urinating in bushes.
Authorities say that Melgerai approached a maintenance worker to ask if he could shower inside the school's fieldhouse.
"We didn't receive any reports of any of the staff, the teachers or any of the school security or the police officer that he made any contact with any students on the campus," Sgt. Joe Johnson of the Fairfax City Police said.
Melgerai, 59, tried to flee when police arrived. Police say he had no identification and no vehicle.
Luz McCreary lives nearby with 2-year-old son called Matthew.
"I usually walk with Matthew and we cross through the high school so I can't imagine how scary it would be," the Fairfax resident said.
He is charged with being a convicted sex offender on school grounds. Additional charges include failing to register as a sex offender. Melgerai is not registered as a sex offender in either Virginia or California, where his offense took place. On Thursday, Melgerai was charged with an additional count of entering onto school property after conviction as a sex offender after students reported seeing him in the locker room.
Melgerai told police he moved to Fairfax City two weeks ago to stay with a relative but has not registered as a sex offender here. He is being held in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center without bond.
Students and neighbors say they are relieved an arrest was made. "It gives you an uneasy kinda feeling," said student Scott Wood.

Microsoft has revealed it will make more hardware products after its Surface tablet.
Speaking to the BBC, Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, confirmed that the company has plans to release more hardware beyond its Surface tablet. The news comes prior to the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. See also: Microsoft Surface 32GB sold out.
"Is it fair to say we're going to do more hardware? Obviously we are... Where we see important opportunities to set a new standard, yeah we'll dive in." said Ballmer.
The chief exec didn't divulge any details of what we can expect from the predominantly software company. However, rumours suggest that Microsoft will go for a Surface smartphone to compete with the iPhone and Android handsets.
It's also highly likely that Microsoft will work on a follow-up to the Surface to content with Apple's latest tablets – the fourth generation iPad with Retina display and iPad mini.
Ballmer described the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 as an 'epic thing' for the company, putting it up there in the top two or three 'big moments' alongside Windows 95 and the IBM PC.
Currys and PC World are giving Windows 8 a midnight launch tonight on Tottenham Court Road, although there are deals on offer in partnership with HP, we don't expect the queue to be quite like the ones Apple attracts.

Casillas: Defensive solidity key for Real
Iker Casillas has waved away praise for his current record-breaking run between Real Madrid's posts, while pointing out that the team's current defensive soundness augurs well for the remainder of the season.
• Train: Missed chances for Real
Wednesday's 1-0 Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg win at Espanyol means that Casillas is yet to concede in five cup games this season. The Spain No. 1 has only let in four goals in his last 16 official matches for Madrid, saving 47 of his last 51 shots on goal.
Casillas nevertheless continues to be rotated by coach Carlo Ancelotti, only playing in the Copa del Rey and Champions League, with Diego Lopez favoured for La Liga games.
Against Espanyol, Casillas made a vital save from Jhon Cordoba, which reminded many Spanish observers of his stop from Arjen Robben in the 2010 World Cup final.
After the match, Casillas told AS that such solidity would be important to Madrid's chances of winning things this season.
"I do not really think too much about a record, although the press always remind you," Casillas said. "I have overcome a personal mark, and the team together has not conceded any goals.
"I hope this run goes on a long time for us. With the players we have [in attack], and the chances we create, keeping a clean sheet means a win in all competitions."
Casillas said he had come to terms with the unusual situation of goalkeeper rotation at Madrid, and did not particularly enjoy being asked about it every week.
"Even I am bored about talking about my situation," he said. "People should enjoy the players in the team, whoever the boss puts out in each competition and game and that is it. It is up to me to train as well as possible, first for me, then for the team. And enjoy the games I play, because it is a pleasure. "
Pushed as to whether he would still be at the Bernabeu next season, the Madrid native said he would for sure, while preferring to move quickly on to how the team had improved this season after last year's disappointments under Jose Mourinho.
"Of course yes," Casillas said. "It is up to me to enjoy it, as the boss said, we are still in the three competitions. Last season it went very badly for us. Now I hope in April we will be fighting in everything."
Madrid have now kept six consecutive clean sheets in their first six games in all competitions in 2014, equalling a club record achieved just once before, in 1993. In his post-game news conference, Ancelotti was careful to also mention Lopez, who has been between the posts for the three La Liga games during the run.
"[Casillas] is doing very well and deserves the record because of his professionalism," the Italian coach said. "He helps the team a lot. He has played very well in every match. We have a lot of league and cup matches to play and the two goalkeepers are playing more or less the same number of matches. Iker is a first choice starter, just the same as Diego Lopez."
