When Union manager John Hackworth was assessing his options through Major League Soccer's protracted draft season, he knew something no one else did.
In sorting through the myriad cast-off veterans and college grads available to upgrade the club's weaknesses - foremost among them the left back position, in the eyes of many - Hackworth thought he had an option outside the drafts, one that no one was going to scoop up a pick or two before him.
That's why he passed on an established left back - Tyson Wahl, for one - in the Re-Entry Draft. It's why he looked elsewhere in both the SuperDraft and Supplemental Draft.
The Damani Richards experiment, though, has proven to be short-lived.
The Trinidad and Tobago international once thought to be a promising piece of the Union's redevelopment plan was waived Wednesday, just one month and one day after he was signed, as well as midfielder Alex Mendoza.
The man Hackworth called an 'extremely talented individual' while the club was working out in Philadelphia late last month was seen by many as a rising talent. Only 18, the 6-foot Richards was seen as an intriguing blend of physicality for the left back position. He'd been a regular for the Trinidad and Tobago U-20 team and had a reputation for contributing in attack that seemed to intrigue Hackworth and the Union staff.
Hopes were high that Richards could be a long-term solution at a position where the Union have experienced a high turnover in the club's three seasons. The incumbent at the position, Gabriel Farfan, while highly rated by Hackworth and company, remains a converted stand-in from the midfield.
Hackworth acknowledged back in January that Richards' transition to the States created a 'difficult' adjustment period, echoed by the fact that Richards had played sparingly in the Union's four preseason games.
Also bidding farewell to the Union is Mendoza, another young player on whom the team appeared to be very high when he was signed Jan. 24.
Mendoza, 22, arrived with an intriguing career trajectory. The native of Harrisburg and graduate of the Harrisburg City Islanders Academy plied his trade successfully in Mexico, playing for the youth set-ups at clubs like Pumas.
But Mendoza also found playing time scarce in the preseason, falling down in the midfield pecking order behind trialists like Jordi Vidal and Pantelis Kafes while returning players like Roger Torres, Danny Cruz and Keon Daniel have asserted themselves into more playing time.

Ohio, Wisconsin shine spotlight on new union battle: Government workers vs. taxpayers
Monday, February 28, 2011; 12:10 AM
COLUMBUS, OHIO - Across Ohio last week, the legislative push to restrict the union rights of government workers was greeted again and again by noisy protests.
But in this state dotted with manufacturing plants and their locals, this may have been more striking: At least some elected officials normally sympathetic to industrial unions were questioning whether they should side with government workers.
"I believe in what unions do, but as an elected official I represent the taxpayers," said Jeff Berding, a registered Democrat on the Cincinnati City Council who ran as an independent after he opposed the party on a union issue. "I'm trying to get the best deal for them."
The divide between government worker unions and their opponents, playing out now in several state capitals, highlights a critical aspect of the evolving labor movement.
Throughout U.S. history, the most prominent union clashes largely involved employees squaring off against big corporate owners over how to share profits. The recent state budget controversies feature union members bargaining against state and local governments over wages and benefits provided by taxpayers.
The shift reflects the profound changes in American unionism. Last year, for the first time in American history, a majority of union members worked for the government rather than private firms. About 36 percent of government workers, or 7.6 million people, are members of unions, compared with about 7 percent of private-sector workers, or 7.1 million people, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And with that evolution comes different tactics and politics.
"These people are bargaining against the American taxpayer," said Ned Ryun, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush and the president of American Majority, a grass-roots political training organization that also has helped coordinate anti-tax rallies. "I'm not sure they can win the PR battle. People are saying, 'You're kidding me. They're making that much and I'm paying for it?' "
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, was in Columbus this week for protests. She said in an interview that the argument that public unions are fighting the taxpayer is misguided.
"You have long-standing history in Ohio of using collective bargaining to do transformative things in education," she said.
Public vs. private
While government unions and their private-sector counterparts are lumped together under the labor movement umbrella, they are in some ways starkly different, emerging according to different laws and bargaining under different constraints.
While the National Labor Relations Act, passed in 1935, allowed employees to form unions and collectively bargain in much of the private sector, it was not immediately clear to what extent government workers should be protected by unions.

US approves Glaxo meningitis vaccine for children
U.S. regulators on Thursday approved a new children's vaccine from GlaxoSmithKline PLC that targets two common causes of bacterial meningitis, which can be fatal.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the vaccine, MenHibrix, is meant for children aged six weeks to 18 months and combines vaccines for meningococcal disease and Hib disease. The diseases are common causes of the infection.
The FDA had rejected MenHibrix twice before, in 2010 and 2011, but GlaxoSmithKline said it had resolved regulators' questions about the vaccine's potency and efficacy.
Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection of the thin lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can cause severe brain damage and is fatal in 50 percent of cases if untreated.
About 4,100 cases of bacterial meningitis occurred in the United States each year from 2003 to 2007 - the most recent data available - and 500 people died from the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants are at highest risk.
The FDA said the disease can progress rapidly in children who are not vaccinated, causing death or serious long-term health effects such as blindness, mental retardation or amputations. But early symptoms can be hard to tell apart from other illnesses common in children.
Dr. Karen Midthun, director of the FDA's center for biologics, said Menhibrix is the first meningococcal vaccine that can be given to children as young as six weeks.
"(Meningitis) is one of those diseases that although not common, when it occurs it's absolutely devastating and horrible," said Dr. Len Friedland, vice president of clinical and medical affairs for Glaxo in North America.
"It presents to the doctor when a child just looks ill, and within 18 to 24 hours, they're on the deathbed in the hospital. ... To be able to have a vaccine to prevent meningitis is really a great day," he said.
The vaccine targets the C and Y strains of meningococcal bacteria, as well as Hib bacteria, which is short for Haemophilus influenzae type b. Hib disease was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in children under the age of 5 before vaccines for the strain became common.
The B, C, and Y strains cause most cases of meningococcal disease in the United States - although there is no vaccine for the B strain, Glaxo said.
The vaccine's safety was tested in 7,500 children in the United States, Mexico and Australia. The vaccine is given in four doses, and common side effects included pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, irritability and fever.

Lauren Ford McDermott
Class of 2006
Major/Minor: Sociology
After graduating from Washington College with my sociology degree, I pursued my Master's degree at McDaniel College in Counselor Education and I am currently working at Boonsboro Middle School as a Guidance Counselor. I absolutely LOVE what I do and am very grateful for my education at Washington College. While at Washington, I loved the courses I took and the choices of courses that I had. And as frustrating as it was at the time, the senior thesis proved to be very beneficial for all of the writing in graduate school! I was certainly more prepared for the workload in my continuing education than other students coming from schools that did not require it.

Levi was looking for an air conditioned storage unit big enough for his band to rehearse and jam out. Maserati was managing the place and we were immediately drawn to her jumbo sized jugs. She showed us a unit some other band had rented out but neglected to pay their rent for months. Levi turned on the charm and was slowly able to draw tidbits of information from her. He used everything he learned to his advantage and let all the flirtatious comments fly. He poured it on thicker and thicker every time he noticed he was gaining some ground. It turned out she had a thing for musicians and wanted to make Levi one of her groupies. He was engulfed by her colossal cans and made them bounce all over the place as he plowed her sweet MILF snatch.. See Pinch A Titty from Milf Hunter HD website.

CCNU for Canine Lymphoma
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 11 yr-old Yorkshire Terrier has T-cell lymphoma. He was treated with the Wisconsin protocol and has gone into remission. Our oncologist is suggesting we start a pill called CCNU or Lomustine for the next 12 weeks. I have read about this medication and am concerned about the side effects. What can you tell me about it?
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
CCNU, also known as lomustine, is an oral alkylating chemotherapy drug similar to cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan). It is commonly used in the treatment of lymphomas and mast cell tumors in dogs. It is a conventional chemotherapy drug, and the primary side effect is bone marrow suppression (it does not have cardiac toxicity). It has an added advantage of being one of the few chemotherapy drugs that crosses the blood-brain barrier, meaning that it can attack cancer cells that may be hiding in the brain, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid compartments of the body. CCNU is no more or less "toxic" than the chemotherapy drugs that comprise the CHOP protocol. While CCNU can cause liver toxicity (manifested by increases in liver enzymes), these changes are typically reversible when the CCNU is discontinued and liver-supportive medications are used for a few weeks. CCNU is sometimes used as part of first-line lymphoma therapy, and sometimes it is reserved to be used as rescue chemotherapy at time of relapse. CCNU is often used to treat T-cell lymphomas.

Bolton defender dismisses transfer speculation
Bolton Wanderers defender Tim Ream will stay at the club amid reports that he was set for a transfer to Championship rivals Middlesbrough.
Ream will stay and fight for his place at the Reebok Stadium, after a slow start following his move from the New York Red Bulls in 2011. He made only 17 appearances last season for Dougie Freedman's side, with Zat Knight and David Wheater often being preferred at the heart of defence.
Ream was part of the side the was relegated from the Premier League in the 2011/12 season, but has struggled for first-team football after a managerial change.
And following his frustration, Ream was linked with a move to Tony Mowbray's Middlesbrough. But his agent Partick MacCabe has since dismissed the move, stating his client will definitely remain at Bolton next season.
"The Middlesbrough thing took me aback a little bit," McCabe told the Bolton News. "If the have made an enquiry then they have done so to the club and not to me. Tim has very much liked being in Bolton. He is settled."
McCabe also stated that Ream will be fighting his hardest for a first-team place next season, beginning with the pre-season schedule, that begins with a game at Chester City on 27 July.
"Sure, he probably hasn't seen as much game time as he would have liked, but my impression is that he is looking forward to getting back into pre-season and working hard to change that," McCabe added. "He's hoping for a fresh start."

The tax law is often described as a seamless web, and it has never been enough for a transactional tax practice to know only corporate tax. That is especially true today with the proliferation of joint ventures, general and limited partnerships and, especially, limited liability companies.
Our tax lawyers work with the full range of non-corporate entities classified as partnerships for tax purposes, including general and limited partnerships, LLCs and business trusts, as well as the use of disregarded entities in a wide variety of tax planning situations.
Our activities encompass a broad range of business transactions, including domestic and off-shore investment partnerships, private equity funds and exchange funds and partnerships or LLCs formed to conduct operating businesses. We have significant experience in partnership/LLC roll-ups and restructurings, including divisions and combinations and redemptions of partnership/LLC interests, and including restructurings in connection with loan workouts, in both a bankruptcy and a non-bankruptcy context.
We regularly deal with specialized tax problems of non-corporate entities, including income and loss allocations and withholding tax issues that arise for partnerships/LLCs with tax-exempt or foreign partners, disguised sales and built-in gains issues that arise when appreciated property is contributed to, or distributed by, a partnership/LLC, and problems relating to allocation of liabilities for basis purposes, including in loan workout situations.

Written for IdeasTap
Richard Bean's One Man, Two Guvnors is the National Theatre's most successful export since War Horse and is currently running on both the West End and Broadway. Other plays include The Big Fellah and England People Very Nice. He talks to Honour Bayes about speaking the truth, writing what you know and not being cocky…
You became a playwright later in your career – what made you realise this is what you wanted to do and how did you go about doing it?
I never wanted to be a playwright. I morphed into one, having become a stand-up comedian with good material but a B-team performance, and then a comedy sketch writer for BBC. I wrote a play, Of Rats and Men, which went on the fringe and then the BBC picked it up as a 90-minute radio play.
I then started thinking that I might be able to write plays, and get them on, something I'd never believed. I wrote Toast which was a co-production between the National and the Royal Court and then all the doors opened.
Of Rats and Men and Toast drew from your past working as a psychologist and in a bread factory. Should writers draw from their own life experience?
I guess. People are very sniffy about the usual advice "write about what you know" but in truth everyone does that. The great writers mine their own experience and understanding of life and can only really write about the culture they know and understand. So it's pretty good advice still.
As a retired stand-up, do you think it's helpful for playwrights to also perform?
All experience is useful. For me, it has helped in understanding what is funny, and why something's funny, and how it can be funnier.
England People Very Nice caused quite a bit of controversy, as have some of your award acceptance speeches! Do you think it is part of a writer's role to provoke the establishment and audience?
It's certainly part of a writer's task to speak the truth. And that's all I've ever done. I wasn't aware that my acceptance speeches had upset anyone. It's my chance to do a bit of stand-up, which I enjoy. Paul Taylor [theatre critic for the Independent] said after one acceptance speech that he didn't like me, that I was too cocky, but he was wrong. I've never been cocky in my life. He just doesn't like me.
Do you think it's important for theatre to be political?
I think overtly political theatre can be a bit tedious. The best theatre is very human, with the politics there just because the business of humanity, trying to live with each other, is inherently political.
You have had huge success with One Man, Two Guvnors, an adaptation of the Commedia del Arte comedy, Servant of Two Masters. What's the secret to a successful adaptation?
Usually truncate it, cut it, take out the verbosity, use full stops a lot.
This very British production has recently opened in Broadway. How much should a playwright let an audience's cultural understanding affect their writing?
In an ideal world, one would be able to present a play to another culture in exactly the same way it was originally presented, but with a play like One Man, which only exists to make the audience laugh, it's permissible to change the script. You can't ask an actor to stand on an American stage night after night delivering a punch line which consists of "…. Swiss roll!" if the Americans don't know what a Swiss roll is. It would be cruel to both actor and audience.
With a tragedy, one might change esoteric stuff just to get the meaning across. I had a version of Toast done in Geordie once, so that's a wholesale change. It worked.

It's 9 p.m. as I dash madly up the escalator of Hennessey's toward the Las Vegas Country Saloon on Sunday. According to the man at the door, they're running an hour behind. Convenient, considering Spindrift was scheduled for 8 p.m., and now I just might make it.
Passing the lifeless mechanical bull — the crowd drawn by this last night of the Las Vegas Shakedown festival isn't right for the bucking bronco — I arrive just as the spaghetti rockers are about to let loose their vortex of psychedelic sound. The crowd materializes, drawn to the Indian stage costumes and reverb-enhanced chants, enticing one audience member to return his own Indian howl.
When the set closes, I prepare to take off to the second Shakedown venue, Beauty Bar, but the announcer warns not to be hasty — Morlocks are next. Looks like Beauty Bar will have to wait.
Shortly, Morlocks' lead singer, Leighton Koizumi, prances onto the stage, sashaying with the mic stand and heckling the audience, attempting to rile them up for the band's high-energy act. To slight avail. "You're all supposed to be crazy, it's Shakedown!" Leighton insists, wide-eyed. "It's Sunday, right? We'll blame it on Jesus." Hey, people should be amped up; it's been nine years since the last Shakedown. And, by the end of the set, his contagious antics have rubbed off; fans spray Leighton with beer, then pass them along for him to swig.
I enter the Beauty Bar courtyard just in time to catch punk rockers Lower Class Brats ripping the crowd a new one with their heavy guitar riffs. The audience appears to have been transplanted from the Double Down — even the dive bar's infamous topless hula-hooper, Szandora, is in attendance. As the bandana'd guitarist sprays the crowd with sweat from his hardcore rock-out, you have to agree that this is one of those festivals worth the ticket price. It's not every day you get your eardrums blown out by psychedelic reverb, heckled by an over-the-top rock star and soaked in a sweat shower, all in just three hours time.

File naming schemes
We tried to come up with a file naming scheme that would scale, to manage digital objects of various types, from our holdings as well as elsewhere on campus and in other institutions. We needed some way to group the files that is reasonably intuitive, supportable, extensible, and which supports the needs of management and delivery systems.
While our current digitized items are primarily from content housed at Hoole Special Collections, we recognize that soon the Digital Services may be digitizing and/or managing content from across campus and from a variety of other institutions.
While we are certain that this is far from perfect, and while we are still not in total agreement, the current recommendation is the one that follows. Please think about applications and uses to see if there are likely situations where this won't work; and please think about what would be an improvement. This is not yet set in stone. Comments and suggestions are welcomed, preferably within 2 weeks (by August 19, 2008). By then we will need to be training students to scan, so we need this in place.
While the first few uses of character strings is very helpful, after a time we are forced to choose nonsensical character strings to delineate an object. (How many George Smiths are there?) And we realize that not every institution or organization or digital item creator is going to organize things to the level we do, or in the same ways.
So we are hoping that whatever system we come up against can be mapped against this one; database tables and spreadsheets must exist to describe or point to the actual analog item, its location, its collection, and its holder, and more. The filename cannot be expected to hold sufficient information to please everyone or every use. Its primary purpose is as a unique identifying value for the file, and to facilitate in file management and online delivery.
Additional considerations are the [[1]] of the filename, characters which cause problems for software (such as \/:*?"<>|); and consistency (both for parsing and handling, and also for visually spotting errors). In addition, the "id" attribute values that are valid for xml need to be considered (begin with a letter, and more: [[2]]); and we need sufficient characters to provide for identification within the realm of the content provider.
This last set the value of "collection" to at least 7 digits, as our Photograph collections require that; and within those collections we already have up to 6 digit numbers in each one.
Here is a set of sample file numbers, the analysis of which will follow:
- u0001_0002061_0000345_0001.tif
- u0001_0002061_0000345_0002.tif
- u0001_0002061_0000345_0003.tif
- u0001_0002061_0000345_0000.xml
"u" indicates that this object resides at the University of Alabama or was created under our university auspices. Some other character (as yet undetermined) will delineate other. I recommend "n" below, as the visual opposite of "u", and it can be construed to mean "not ours"!) Longer or more complex systems were discarded as being difficult and problematic after the first few assigned values.
After the "u" comes a 4-digit value to indicate a category which is spelled out in the database. At Hoole, it makes sense to separate Rare Books from Manuscripts from Archives from Photographs -- and more. Each of these is a "superset" of potential collections. In this example, we are going to suppose that 0001 was assigned to Hoole Special Collections Manuscripts.
The second set of numbers (in this case, "0002061") is the collection number assigned by the folks indicated in the first set of numbers. Since this is from Manuscripts, this is MS 2061. Any number with 7 or less digits may be assigned, though we recommend auto-incrementing so it's clear which numbers are not yet in use, if indeed the current system does not map directly to this one.
The third set of numbers is the item number. In this case, item # 345 is the 345th item selected for digitization; it may NOT be the 345th item encountered in the analog collection. Identification depends on information in the database or spreadsheet.
The 4th set of numbers is the sequence number. In the set of numbers above, there are 3 pages for this document, numbered sequentially. These numbers may NOT match the page numbers as appear on the page, but are necessary for sequential delivery.
Also in the set of numbers above is a file that ends in "0000.xml" -- this is the metadata record, of whatever type. If there are multiple kinds of metadata for this item (ex.: MODS, METS, DC, EAD, TEI), then they must be kept in separate directories to avoid overwriting. Said directories should be named appropriately. If page-level metadata is kept in a separate file, it would end with the sequence number of the page to which it applies; that is, metadata for sequence page 1 ends in 0001.xml instead of 0000.xml.
Thus, the set of filenames above are for a 3-page document known as the 345th item selected for digitization from MS 2061 in UA Hoole Special Collections Manuscripts division. There are 3 tiff images, one per page, numbered sequentially, and one metadata record for the item (which consists of 3 pages).
- u0002_0002324_0000005_0003.tif
- u0002_0002324_0000005_0003_001.tif
- u0002_0002324_0000005_0003_002.tif
These above are a page from a scrapbook, with closeup shots of each of 2 photos on the 3rd page. The scrapbook is the 5th item in the collection from MS 2324.
- u0003_0000001_0009937_0002.tif
This one (above) is Rare books, which has no subcollections --
- u0004_2007102_0000342.tif
- u0004_2007102_0000342.xml
This (above) is a photograph, only one, so no need for pages --
- n0234_0000022_0000079_0000.xml
- n0234_0000022_0000079_0001.tif
- n0234_0000022_0000079_0002.tif
These above represent a 2-image document and metadata from some other institution.

UPDATE: TGIF — and we mean that in a big way. We're giving you the okay to start your weekend right now by indulging in some new tunes, courtesy of six R29-approved DJs. This story was originally published on August 7, 2012.
The power of the carefully crafted summer playlist is undeniable: It can take you from relaxed to pumped and back again, and it captures the essence of these hot, sticky months like nothing else.
So, when we got the chance to ask some of Washington's most tuned-in female DJs to share what they're blasting right now, we jumped at it (okay, so maybe our reasons were a little selfish ... ). And these ladies certainly didn't disappoint. Ahead, we're stoked to present you with killer playlists from six local deck divas — and we can guarantee you'll do a little head-bobbing at your desk today.

I had a very interesting meal last week at St. John in Smithfield. It was interesting because I was doing St.John, my ultimate carnivorous Valhalla, famous for nose to tail eating (of pigs that is), and I was there with two absolutely picky eaters. What fun!
I agreed to take my esteemed director and his wife out to dinner one night while on our business trip in London. My boss is an engineer type who thinks a meal at the Olive Garden is gourmet, and his wife finds anything beyond plain chicken irksome. They insisted they wanted to try English food, so I asked Simon for a recommendation. Simon suggested the Sutton Arms, which sounded just perfect for what they were looking for.
We had a longer day at the office than we planned, by the time we made it out to Barbican it was almost 9.30pm. We got to the Sutton Arms and found it completely full, and were forced to go forage somewhere else for dinner. The choices we found in that neighborhood were between modish pubs full of young fleshy things on a night out and too-fancy-to-be-any-good Indian restaurants. I finally decided to take them to St.John, thinking that we would at least be able to find something on the bar menu to eat.
To my surprise there was a table available in the dining room. My boss (I will just call him John, as in Doe) thought we should sit down and eat properly. His wife Jane, yes as in Doe, who was not at all adventurous when it came to food or indeed anything else I gathered, found the menu exceedingly suspicious. I assured her there's bound to be something she could eat, though I wasn't entirely sure myself.
I grabbed a menu and looked through it quickly to find something Jane could eat. My eyes glanced quickly pass foie gras, marrow bones, and other curious items, and settled on a dish of something described as Slip Soles. At any other restaurant that would definitely be fish, at St.John I wasn't entirely sure. Searching for a better alternative I found a dish of rabbit, bacons and beans.
"Ah, rabbit", I said, triumphant, "You eat rabbit, yes? They're just like chicken."
"Oh, no, I'm not gonna eat those bunnies?" She whined.
This was going to be a curious meal, I thought to myself. Looking over at the next table, someone was happily tucking into a plate of soles. "You could eat that right?" I asked her to be sure. She agreed.
So it was time to order. John said I should just order for him too, as he really couldn't make out the menu. Despite it being clearly written in English, many things came with a pedigree rather than a descriptive name. Braised Saddleback with prunes and onions, for example, could have been pig's hide as far as he knew.
So I ordered for everyone. For starters we had langoustine, foie gras, and roasted marrow bones. I managed to convince the reluctant Jane that the pate de foie gras was the pa-tay stuff she could find at fancy parties. I wanted to try it because I was curious to see how Furgus Henderson did foie gras. For the main course, I ordered the Slip Soles for Jane, of course. For John I chose the braised hare, probably because it looked like something he could eat without much protest. The waitress informed me that they were out of many interesting items on the menu, but the chef just added another main course of Saddleback with prunes and onions. I loved pork belly so I decided to go with that one.
The langoustines were supremely sweet and were served with a hefty bowl of lemon mayonnaise. I knew the Brits loved their mayonnaise, from the countless variations on the theme of mayo sandwiches catered to my London meetings, but the sheer size of the bowl still astounded me. The langoustines themselves were in fact so sweet they needed little if any embellishment at all. Looking up from my plate after a few minutes of devouring the delicious little creatures, I was horrified to see my companions' plates littered with discarded shells full of delectable roes.
"You can't throw those out! They are the best part!" I cried.
Looking puzzled, they asked if they were supposed to eat those neon bright roes. I said either you eat them or surrender them to me. It would go against every ounce of my food snobbery to let them go to waste. Startled, they obediently began to eat the roes.
"These are good, they're just like caviar" exclaimed Jane.
"Yes, Jane, caviar, eat or send them to me", I mumbled.
Then the foie gras and marrow bones arrived. They were both served with country bread toasts that were just this side of burnt. It's late, I gave them an excuse. The marrow bones looked delicious; I moved the plate over near me and dug in with delight. The first bite was a bit too greasy, and needed salt. I adjusted my strategy and sprinkled a few flakes of salt on each piece of bone and stirred them well with the knife. The next bite was just perfect, a healthy dose of that marrow spread on toast with a bit of the pungent salad. I loved it.
Meanwhile John and Jane were quite happy with the foie gras. Jane found it much more agreeable than the pate she was used to. Duh!, the meanie in me thought. Of course it was! I decided to try the foie gras myself and found it underwhelming. It was not a problem with the dish, I didn't think. The foie gras looked every bit a good terrine de foie gras should be, large, pristinely pink chunks of liver bind together nicely in aspic. The taste, on the other hand, was a little bland. I didn't know if this was the fault of the dish or merely an inadvertent result of eating it after many mouthfuls of the assertive tasting marrow and parsley salad.
The only way to know was to give up the marrow bones and clean out my palate with lots of water and bread. Looking down at the couple more pieces of bones on that plate I decided not to. I could get a good foie gras pretty much anywhere in Paris. Hearty and honest to goodness marrow bones like these were hard to come by. I happily returned to my bones.
Jane was intrigued by my unabashed enthusiasm over the bones. She asked to try a bit. Grudgingly I assembled a bit of bread, the marrow and the salad for her. "It looks nice like that", she said, taking the bite. Surprisingly she liked it. This was turning out better than I thought.
The main course of braised hare, slip soles, and braised Saddleback were great too. Although I found my own plate the least interesting of all. I had expected a dish of long braised pork belly, what arrived were two long pieces of lightly smoked pork belly ham. They were delicious, if a tad underwhelming. The prune and caramelized onions enhanced the salty, slightly smoked meat. The contrast of flavor was lovely, the salt and slight smoky taste cut down the greasy effect of the fat. The sweet taste of the prune and onions was a nice foil for the meat. The problem was I found the portion far too large to sustain my interest all the way through. Just like Robuchon's gazpacho, I wished it had come in a smaller portion. John and Jane each took a bite, and pronounced it just like ham. I sighed and assembled them each a piece of pork with a bit of the prune and the onion on top. They tried again and their eyes lit up. "Wow! It's much better like that!" they proclaimed. Exasperated, I thought to myself, "precisely, that's why they CAME TOGETHER!."
The hare was scrumptious, full of flavor and not at all gamy as John feared. Dark pieces of wine-braised, falling of the bone hare meat were served with mushroom and a dark gravy. The taste was complex, warm and every bit a perfect braised dish should be. It was definitely home-style, yet impeccably executed. Even Jane took a bite. It didn't look like a bunny on the plate, she exclaimed.
The tasty soles were served in a manner of Sole à la Meunierre. It was not the best I've tasted, but definitely a respectable one. The soles were pristinely fresh and quite well done, though I detected an unpleasant bit of greasiness to it. This to me was what differentiated a superb Sole à la Meunierre from a good one. Unfortunately the soles here fell only somewhere in between. Jane loved it. She found it a bit difficult to deal with the tiny bones, but didn't let that stop her from enjoying it.
On the side we had superb and buttery new potatoes sprinkled with chives and quite agreeable green beans. For wine we shared a bottle of 1998 St.Chinian, a nice, bold, peppery wine. The young-ish wine would probably benefit from a bit of breathing time, but we didn't quite let it.
We ended the meal with a wonderful plum crumble which were served with two generous pitcher of custard cream. I love the English.
To my surprise, my unadventurous dining companions loved the meal. They found it a tad odd, mind you, but loved it anyway. Who would've thunk it. John even picked up the tap, ok yeah we were both on expense so it wasn't a big deal. But you know what? I had a fun time myself, seeing them both opening up and trying new things were fun. It was like watching a tentative child taking a first step. This is sort of my volunteer work, my contribution to the great unwashed humanity. My snobbish and goodie two shoes side loved it I tell you. I'm taking it up as a new hobby!

|Training Begins
|The 29th Infantry Division was the first unit to be trained at Camp McClellan. This division was comprised of troops from New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and District of Columbia. The first troops arrived in late August, 1917, and they and their commander, Major-General Charles G. Morton received a formal welcome to Anniston. Community relations were forged with the election of a special town representative, W. P. Acker, assigned to deal with the military.
By November, all officers and enlisted men of the division, totaling over 27,000 individuals, had arrived. Draftees arrived later. In Morton's own words, it took "a generous stretch of the imagination to see in this beginning the magnificent fighting unit which was to later form". The history of the 29th Division indicates that the training at the camp was hard. A network of trenches, dugouts, and command posts had been built to further the soldier's training. Stories indicate that fire call and temporary moves from one place in the camp to another to prepare the troops for what might be ahead in Europe were legion, usually occurring at night. The 29th Division remained at Camp McClellan until June 1918, when orders arrived sending the troops to France. The troops took heavy casualties in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, returning stateside in May of 1919. It was deactivated later that month.
Other troops were also trained at the camp during World War I. In October of 1917, 190 officers and men from the 1st Separate Negro Company of Maryland arrived at the camp from Pittsburgh. At the outset, the 1st Separate Negro Company was assigned to the Horsed Section of the Ammunition Train, and then later transferred to the Auxiliary Remount Depot near Anniston. Later they were sent to Camp Stuart in Newport News, Virginia, to become a part of the 372nd Infantry. In addition to this group, the 6th Division, 157th Depot Brigade, 11th and 12th Training Battalions, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Development Regiments were all trained at Camp McClellan during World War I.
By February, 1919, 1,534 buildings had been constructed at Camp McClellan. The base hospital alone included 118 buildings. Mess halls dominated as a building type, with showers without heaters and latrines following in that order. Latrines were the most impermanent of the early structures. By 1919, 374 latrines had been replaced with "lavatories". "Kitchen incinerators" were also quickly replaced with more efficient technology.
The year of 1920 witnessed strong debate within the federal government as to the propriety of some of the decisions made as to how military construction should be conducted and under which department's direction. The Corps of Engineers, the Construction Division of the Army, and the Quartermasters Corps were all viable candidates. In June 1920, the Quartermaster Corps was chosen as the most proper supervisory authority. The authors of the history of the Corps of Engineers called the 1920s "the lean years". The future of the military posts of World War I rested in the hands of Secretary of War John W. Weeks. Weeks placed nine of the World War I camps, including Camp McClellan, on caretaker status. The stringency of the cutbacks was appropriate to the mood of the twenties. The war was over, and with it, the need for a standing army. Camp McClellan, like many other military post, fell into disrepair.

Long before art is given to a museum and displayed, it possesses its own unique story that is often overlooked in favor of discussions of artistic style or relevance.
Many works were given as gifts, with each exchange bearing a small, but oftentimes fascinating, piece of history. The National Endowment for the Humanities-supported exhibit Gifts of the Sultan: The Arts of Giving at the Islamic Courts, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), places the history of individual art works at the forefront by examining the relationship between artistic production and gift exchange.
One of the exhibit's treasures, the double-page painting Presentation of Gifts by the Safavid Ambassador to Selim II at Edirne, seems to depict nothing more than the reception of the emissary of the Safavid shah Tahmasp (r. 1524-76). The Iranian envoy presents the Ottoman Sultan with beautiful gifts – gilded Qur'ans, textiles, rolled carpets, and more – each item an artistic treasure.
Beneath the surface of the seemingly gracious visit, however, the gifts communicate other meanings. The offerings include an old illustrated Qur'an and the famed Shahnama (Book of Kings) manuscript, originally containing 258 illustrations that are now scattered among collections throughout the world. In addition to the beautiful calligraphy and illustrations, and perhaps more importantly for the Iranian envoy, the manuscripts stress the religious legitimacy of the Shiite Muslims, compared with the ruling Sunni Ottomans. It is a precious, but calculated, gift intended to convey a particular message.
With an eye towards Islamic art, the exhibit places the subtleties of gift exchange at the forefront. It is divided into three sections – personal gifts, pious donations, and diplomatic offerings – featuring some 250 works of art, including jewelry, textiles woven with golden thread, and silk carpets. Spanning the eighth through the nineteenth centuries, the exhibit traces gift exchanges between Islamic and Byzantine, western European, and eastern Asian courts.
The exhibit brings together artifacts from forty institutions worldwide, such as the 1633 folio Shah Jahan Receives the Persian Ambassador, Muhammad 'Ali Beg, from the collection of Queen Elizabeth II. LACMA reaches into its own collection for items such as the famed and rarely exhibited sixteenth-century Ardabil Carpet. The beautifully ornate carpet, originally a royal gift to the Safavid shrine at Ardabil in northwestern Iran, was itself given as a gift to LACMA by J. Paul Getty.
The exhibit also includes contemporary works on the exhibit's theme by artists with roots in the Islamic world.
The exhibit is scheduled to run from June 5, 2011, through -September 5, 2011, at LACMA and October 23, 2011, through January 15 2015 at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

Former Sen. Hathaway dies at 89
Served one term in Senate, four terms in House
Former U.S. Sen. William "Bill" Hathaway has died. He was 89.
The Democrat was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1964 and served three additional terms, according to Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress. Hathaway defeated Republican Sen. Margaret Chase Smith in 1972 and was defeated by then-Congressman William S. Cohen in 1978.
He practiced law in Lewiston and served as an assistant district attorney in Androscoggin County as well as worked on the state liquor commission.
Sen. Angus King, who served as chief counsel to the U.S. Senate subcommittee on alcoholism and narcotics from 1972 to 1974 under Hathaway, praised him as both a mentor and dedicated public servant.
"As a young man, I had the great privilege of serving as an aide to then-Sen. Hathaway, a position in which I was fortunate to witness firsthand his strong moral courage and his sincere and unfailing desire to help others," King said in a release. "Indeed, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to work for Bill, and I will always treasure the sage wisdom and advice he provided to me throughout the years, both as governor and as senator."

Nine out of 10 people who are suffering from cancer, investment failures or traffic injuries would say they are at the lowest point of their lives, but 71-year-old Tsou Yao-wen (鄒耀文) and his wife, 57-year-old Huang Pao-yu (黃寶玉), look at their glass as half-full, despite having experienced all three crises.
Born in a small village in Yilan County, Tsou grew up like most boys in the neighborhood and education was the last thing on his mind when he graduated from elementary school.
Dreaming of a better life, Tsou moved to Taipei when he was 14 and worked as a construction worker for nearly two decades before switching to selling fish at the age of 32.
When he turned 46, Tsou took a leap of faith and invested every cent of his hard-earned money — about NT$2 million (US$68,000) — in his friends' newly started shrimp-farming business.
Tsou had expected a handsome profit, only to see all his money go down the drain after the shrimp farm was struck by disease.
A year later, Tsou met the 33-year-old Huang via matchmaking and decided to get married despite their financial difficulties.
Although life was never easy, the couple found happiness in each other and supported themselves and their two daughters by setting up a stall on Taipei's Jilin Road selling sugarcane juice.
However, their happiness only lasted about three years, when Tsou was later diagnosed with first-stage nasopharyngeal cancer.
"One night, while I was sleeping, I suddenly had a nose bleed and I could feel the blood flowing back toward my throat. I had a strong taste of blood in my mouth and when I spit it out, it was pure blood," Tsou said.
Tsou said he did not shed a tear when the doctor broke the bad news to him, though he wondered why would such a disease strike someone like him, who had never smoked, drunk alcohol or chewed betel nut.
"When life throws me a curveball, all I can do is catch it," he said.
Tsou closed his business temporarily to focus on his health and spent his life savings on a two-month radiation therapy session.
Although the therapy helped bring Tsou's condition under control, it left him penniless again at the age of 50.
After recuperating at home for about a year, Tsou resumed his sugarcane juice business, working 18 hours a day, from 5am to 11pm.
Such long work hours would be unbearable for most people, let alone someone recovering from cancer. However, Tsou had no choice but to endure the hardship because his family was counting on him.
Just when Tsou thought his life was finally getting back to normal, misfortune struck again — his wife broke a hip after being hit by a bicycle-riding neighbor.
Rather than trying to square up with the neighbor, Tsou talked Huang out of seeking compensation from the man, saying that doing so could cause problems between the man and his wife, who are already short on money.
Huang was bedridden for a long time after she had hip replacement surgery, forcing Tsou to shut down his business permanently to take care of his wife around-the-clock.
"We had absolutely no source of income at the time and could only ask our parents for help," Huang said, adding that she has difficulty walking even now.
Although the couple's plight qualified them for a low-income family subsidy of NT$10,000 a month, they refused to rely solely on government welfare and decided to supplement their income by collecting recyclables.

ITJB Honey Whole Wheat Challah
To celebrate the Jewish New Year, 5774, I baked ITJB's Honey Whole Wheat Challah in a round braid, as is traditional for Rosh Hashana. Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy, sweet, peaceful, and prosperous New Year!
In the first photo you can see the indentations from my "poke" test to be sure it was ready for the oven. I didn't use any seeds because my kids prefer their Challah plain.

One of the trends over the past year has been increasing concern over the functionality of the peer review system. The system is not broken, but it is creaking under the strain of an ever increasing number of articles and the inability to stop scientific fraud, something it was never designed to do. One of the responses to this has been to start a new journal with an open, interactive peer review process. The new peer review process works as follows:
- The author submits work, which is read by an editor who decides whether the paper will enter into the peer review process.
- The paper is simultaneously sent to reviewers and published on a review section of the journal's website.
- The reviewers respond in the traditional fashion, with a recommendation on publication, comments and suggested changes. These are also published alongside the article. Other scientists can also make comments on the article as well.
- The author responds to the reviewers and other scientists and in light of their comments and recommendations provides a revised edition of the paper.
- Provided that the paper was recommended for publication, the revised paper is published and the discussion closed.
Now this process is not all that different from normal peer review, except that it is all in public and the result is more like a conference presentation, where there is time for discussion at the end of the presentation. Read on for an example of this in action.
Buried in the details of understanding our climate is the interaction between the ice sheets, solar forcing and carbon dioxide. The variation in ice-sheet volume over the last 2.7 million years follows cycles that have periods of approximately 100,000, 41,000, and 23,000 years, which cannot be explained by solar forcing alone. The standard explanation for this is that something within the climate must have driven the expansion or contraction of the ice shelf. The leading candidate for driving the change is carbon dioxide, which provides a nonlinear feedback mechanism, accelerating the formation or destruction of the ice shelf in a self reenforcing mechanism. However, Ruddiman presents an alternative, in which ice shelf formation and destruction drives carbon dioxide concentration in a positive feedback loop. The differences between the two explanations are quantitative, in that the first explanation requires that there is a large lag between the solar forcing peaks and the carbon dioxide peaks, while Ruddiman's theory implies that there is almost no lag between changes in the ice shelf and changes in the carbon dioxide level. Unfortunately, the data are equivocal and cannot at present falsify either approach. However, the mechanisms that would allow the ice shelf to control carbon dioxide levels are not well understood.
Now onto to the referee's comments. The first referee was generally positive about the approach but had concerns with the either/or and cause/effect approach of Ruddiman to what is a closely coupled system. Ruddiman's response was that the either/or false dichotomy was precisely that, however, there is not enough time to explore every option and this approach still provides useful information. Replacing the words cause and effect with "interaction" would not add to the information content of the paper, but would make it less clear. The second referee was also positive about the approach but worried that the paucity of data would make it hard to falsify any particular model. This is due to the fact that the paper focuses on a time period during which only a single 100,000 year cycle occurred. The reviewer also had problems with the apparent lack of analysis of the lead or lag times between ice shelf behavior and carbon dioxide. Ruddiman admitted that in trying to keep the paper focused he had cut much of the analysis and would reinstate that in the revised edition.
There were also comments by two non-referees. One was involved in related climate modeling projects, who happened to be studying deep ocean mixing processes, which are involved in some of Ruddiman's proposed mechanisms. He pointed out several additional possible mechanisms, and more to the point, why they and some of Ruddiman's proposals probably wouldn't work. The final comment was a slightly bizarre and flawed attack on the Milankovitch hypothesis (that orbital variations are the primary driver of ice shelf formation), which form the basis of much basic climatology. All I can say here is that at least Ruddiman was polite about it.
I think the greatest thing about this paper is that it has provided me with the chance of giving non scientists an in sight into peer review and how it works in practice. Having peer review in public is, I think, a good thing. The fact that the reviewers know that their comments are going to be made public makes them pause for thought, frame their arguments more clearly, and generally make a longer, more useful response. That can only be a good thing. Oh, and the paper — interesting, plausible, but lacking convincing mechanisms.

Please excuse the spelling and grammatical errors. I will edit the transcripts as I get time.
The below was taken from the Launceston Examiner in 1861 and is the actual transcripts of one of our very first prospecting meetings to find a payable goldfield in Tasmania after the government offered rewards to help entice mineral exploration in the state and get workers back to Tasmania.
A meeting of persons interested in the question of obtaining payable goldfields in Tasmania, was held in the Temperance Hall on Tuesday evening,for the purpose of communicating information and making arrangements for testing some promising localities. The hall was crowded. C. J. Irvine, Esq. was voted to the chair, and on the platform, on either side of him, were Messrs. F. L. Stieglitz, Rowland Davies, Williams, Joseph Cohen, Lewis Cohen, William Tyson, senior, WV. J. Norwood, John Gatenby, and R . T. Edwards. The Chairman, in introducing the business of the meeting, said that they had been called together for the purpose of having certain propositions laid before them, with a view of testing the gold-fields of Tasmania. The experiment had frequently been tried, but from some cause or other had not resulted in the success which was desired. i'll beheved that by no economical, careful, and competent supervision, something might be done by which the gold-fields would prove as remunerative as any in the neighboring colonies (hear, hear). It was proposed to send out a number of laboring men under competent supervision to make a thorough search, and the gentlemen who were to address the meeting would bring forward facts which would show that the gold-fields could be worked economically and pro litably, and he had no doubt but that poor and impoverished Launceston would one day be in a position to laugh at her neighbors(applause).
Mr. Will. Tyson held much pleasure in moving the first resolution-"That from the result of diggings in different localities and from information received, it is highly probable that all extensive and paying gold-field exists in this colony; and that this meeting impressed with the importance of making such a discovery inl the present depressed state of tile country, resolves to adopt the use of efficient means to test thoroughly our auriferous resources" (cheers). He could only say that he moved this resolution with all his heart. It stated that from the result of diggings in different localities and front information received, it was highly probable that an extensive and paying gold-field existed in the colony. Now, it would be remembered by many that he was appointed one of the directors of the People's Quartz Crushing Company a few years ago, and that he was also one oel the committee sent to look at the locality for the future operations of the Company, to see whether it was likely to pay. It would also be remembered that when they came down they brought a report of a discouraging character and this Company was broken up. Persons must then have been led to beheve that Fingal was not a remunerative gold-field. But it was to Inconvenienced that every one of the committee really beheved that there would be a paying goldfield, and he still held to the opinion he thin formed, namely, that any body of men who would thoroughly test the locality would find gold In payable quantities. he went up to see--not to hear. he visited the BlackBoy Reef and certainly did not see much encouragement; he then went to Dr. Otway's locality and there saw but little inducement; but when he came to the township of Manganna and Sailors' Gully he at once saw that gold could be obtained in paying quantities. i'll saw men working there, and perhaps some of them were present in the meeting-(A man here came forward and said he was one of them and was proceeding to speak of what To had done when the Chairman interrupted him and said that he could speak afterwards. After a little confusion silence was restored.) le went to some men who were Digging there and asked them to let him see the reward of their labors. They comphed with eh request, and to Ills ideas tile result was highly salutatory (rear, hear). The gold was cII laholy not I large as it goes but if theoy obtaiplulty of small gold they would probably eoI pon choose larger lug gets in this course of Lm.t11 then employed a laborer to dig for him. The man worked for one hour and ten minutes and got three shillings worth of gold. Thills tan was lld, aod he (hMr. 'l'ysoo) beheved that an able Bodied man would have procured double. But, Even supposing that it had only been eighteen tuppence worth it would have given a good indication of the payable natural of the ground. IllY skited this manti why he did not us better .appliances. i I searching for gold and the answer was, that it took a good deal of money- Theo man afterwards confessed that he spent his
money as fast as he got it; and this was the case with a good many. Now, we wanted the hand of able-bodied men, superintended by all intelligent, honest, hard-working and competent man (hoar Hear). His desire was that such a party should Try the ground for a month or two, if he was not to afraid of the result (cheers). We ought to have all alluvial digging company (Roar, hear). If the was not tied to his business In town by Peculiar circumstances, he would leave it and begin alluvial digging, and he beheved that the Result would turn out a good speculation (cheers). I r. Lewis Cohen seconded the resolution, and Did so under the firm behef that there were large And extensive gold-fields in this colony. He had Sent out several prospecting parties, and their
Researches showed that gold was distributed Throughout the colony. There was scarcely a Place where traces of gold could not be found. Only that tiny he had received a letter stating That the precious metal had been discovered at Quamby Bluff Ite beheved that the gold laid from Fingal down to George Town. He had a party at the River Piper, and the indications were so good that he had determined to expand £25 In sinining 100 or 150 feet, for he believed That he would be handsomely paid (hear, hear). Fingal was the first place that ought to be
Thoroughly tested. Air Tolland Davies (from Pilling) said he had had Some experience in gold-finding in Victoria, and from what he had seen the believed there was a Good protect of allowing gold in paying units at Fingal. he did not think the diggings Would he so rich as those at ballaarat and CastleMaine, but they would more resemble those at the Pyrenees and the Jim Crow ranges, where the Gold was in rich patches, scattered
here and there. He stated his belief That not £20 worthy of real prospecting in earnest had yet been expended at Mangana. It would be Necessary to bottom several holes before The lead was found, but that discovered be
he believed that a line of auriferous country 50 miles in length would be found. The shallow
Gullies required draining, and the dirt must be Sluiced, which operation would be very easily Performed, owing to the peculiar nature of the Earth. He was also of opinion that quartz mining Would prove remunerative. But It had nearly Ruined the Southern Company, who, finding a Little leader of auriferous quartz, worked it instead
Of following tip the reef, and actually spent £10,000 before they even found a reef, and then They had not sufficient funds to enable them to Go on. Another cause of the failure in too discovery of a rich gold field was the manner in which the £2000 or £3000 given by the Government had been expended. Instead of getting over sole practical diggers from Ballarat, or some of those places, they gave the money away to any men who liked to go up. These men only tried Shallow diggings, here and there; some did no Work at all, but smoked, and drank, and in fact did as they liked. A prospecting party ought not to consist of less than ten or twelve men; and by
Keeping three shifts continually at work a hole Could be bottomed without machinery in a fortnight or three weeks. It would require four such Holes to test the Alangana Flat, and get the lead, which once discovered would prove payable (hear, hear). In Victoria, reefs were tested not by a large company, at an enormous expense, but by small co-operative companies, who found the reels by prospecting, and then the rich men stepped in, a company was formed, and the prerequisite machinery erected. Air. P. Ii. Gell, M.L.C., said that as he felt a great interest in the district, which he had The honor to represent in the Legislative Council, be was very happy to give his support to The resolution proposed. It stated that " it was highly probable that an extensive And paying gold-field existed in the Colony," but he thought that the probability was A certainty now. he had seen ingots of considurable size, which had been crushed from the Quartz at Fingal, and he did not think the metal Could have been got by collusion, as there were so Irony circumstances that would have led to the
exposure of all trickery. Altogether about £600 worth of gold had been collected from the FingalQuartz. We had now had sufficient experience of prospecting parties composed of ignorant persons. And he trusted that the colonists would never Concur in forming any more parties unless the Members were perfectly competent. We ought To obtain some good practical miners from the Adjoining colonies (hear, hear, mingled with Cries of " He wants to send all the money out of the colony," and great confusion.) We had got As good hardworking men in this country as could be found anywhere, but they worked ignorantly in searching for gold (great uproar.) he meant That we had not got men who understood how to Prospect (continued uproar).
The following is the letter referred to :
Exton, 16th Dec., 1861.
Mr. L. Cohen.
l)ear Sir,-Aprdpos of the business of your meeting on Tuesday evening, I may inform you
That three men have been out several days, prospecting In the vicinity of Quamby's Bluff. One
Of the party (Melling) is all old Victorian digger, and being struck with the appearance of the place
-so much resembling the Victorian diggings-he went with two others to give it a trial. On Frday last they were sinking a hole, and about 9 feet down found two Nuggetty pieces of gold, but very small, and came home on Saturday for more tools and rations, intending to return tomorrow morning to bottom this hole. They state that
There are quartz reefs running along the gully in which they are sinking, a mile in length, north And south, and that its gully, if auriferous, would give ample scope for 10,000 diggers. I saw the Gold, and I have no doubt whatever of the truth of their statements, as I follow the men well. But like many other attempts of this kind, it will have To be given up, however favorable the indications may be, if they cotle shlort of being remunerative. would give what assistance it could afford, and I believe others would, if under the management of a committee of some kind. I Shall be happy to attend to any communication You may have to make in reference to this matter, and remain Your obedient servant,

Mr. Alexander Webster seconded.
Mfr. R. It. Cowl moved s ni anmendment that
The words " with power to add to their number"

reason was that hie thought in a public matter

rectors might think it desirable to add some gen

Final Road Trip
Team left after Thursday night's win for Atlanta and the start of the final regular season road trip, a 10-game toughie against the Braves (three), Marlins (three, including a doubleheader) and Brewers (four).
Hamels was sharp again. He's on a September roll after an empty August. When he allowed a run in the seventh inning, it broke a streak of 29 scoreless innings by the starters. Previous run was allowed by Kyle in the eighth inning of Sunday's afternoon game. The 29 innings was the longest since a 37-inning streak in 1969.
Double-Digit List
Phillies pitchers who have struck out 10 or more in a game since 1900:
Steve Carlton (70)
Curt Schilling (48)
Jim Bunning (25)
Chris Short (17)
Cole Hamels (12)
Overall record
Phillies continue to have the best road record in the majors, 43-28, even losing 6 of their last 8. Earlier in the season, they won on the road and lost a home. That's turned around. Since July 1, Phillies are 28-10 at Citizens Bank Park which puts them at 42-32 with 7 more home gmes.
Road Wins
