USA TODAY Sports columnist -- and Ohio native -- Christine Brennan discusses the impact of LeBron James' return on the city of Cleveland. USA TODAY Sports
They like letters in Ohio, apparently, even in this e-mail era.
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert wrote his scathing letter to LeBron James after he left for the Miami Heat four years ago, and James returned the favor in a way that no one could have seen coming back then by announcing his decision to return in a letter in Sports Illustrated.
DECISION: More on the move
AMICK: 'Bigger than basketball'
But he did not make his final decision until Thursday morning, a person with knowledge of James' decision told USA TODAY Sports. The person requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the decision.
He had wrestled with this idea of going back to Cleveland for years now, but even near the end, the prospect of forgiving and forgetting the classless way that Gilbert had said goodbye was something James had trouble reconciling. Yet as James knew better than anyone, it was his heavily-criticized announcement on The Decision show that set this terrible tone. Thus, he was finally ready to make amends.
USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down what LeBron's decision means for the rest of the Eastern Conference.
After making up his mind, with the Heat as the only other team that James seriously considered in those final days, James sat down with Sports Illustrated reporter Lee Jenkins in Las Vegas on Thursday and went to work sharing his inner thoughts. He wrote about his childhood in Northeast Ohio and how he'd realized over time that this decision was "bigger than basketball." He even used that infamous word again — "talent" — but this time in a more subtle, mature way than when he said, "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" on ESPN back on July 8, 2010.
"Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get," James wrote.
Jenkins and James worked on the letter into the night, and Sports Illustrated received it the following morning.
"I'm coming home," the headline read.
The letter said it all.

Star Wars Tauntaun Sleeping Bag
Slumber in the Belly of the Beast
- Slumber in the belly of the beast
- Recreates the scene from The Empire Strikes Back
- Licensed Star Wars collectible
In the sub-zero wasteland of the planet Hoth, only the strong survive - and of course those lucky Jedi protected by the thick skin of a Tauntaun. Now after exhaustive movie-viewing research and analysis, ThinkGeek Labs has isolated the exact synthetic compounds needed to re-create Tauntaun fur. What have we done with this supreme knowledge? Created a Tauntaun sleeping bag, of course.
This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, printed internal intestines, and a plush lightsaber zipper pull. Now when your kids tell you their favorite Star Wars movie is Attack of the Clones, you can nestle the wee-ones snug in simulated Tauntaun fur while regaling them with the amazing tale of The Empire Strikes Back.
Use the plush lightsaber zipper pull on the Tauntaun sleeping bag to illustrate how Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitting open the belly of a dead Tauntaun and placing Luke inside the stinking (but warm) carcass. If your kids don't change their tune on which Star Wars film is the greatest ever, you can do your best Jar Jar impression until they repent.
News: The story behind the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag was featured in the New York Times Sunday Magazine. Click here to read "Sleeping Gag." More press and linkage to be found at thinkgeek.com/tauntaun/index.html.
Product Features

'Dark Core' May Not Be So Dark After All
Now you see it, now you don't. Douglas Clowe of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, is reporting on new Hubble observations that do not find an unusually dense clump of dark matter in the universe that a different Hubble team reported on earlier this year. The region of interest lies at the center of a collision among massive galaxy clusters in Abell 520, located 2.4 billion light-years away. "The earlier result presented a mystery. But in our observations we didn't see anything surprising in the core," said Clowe. "Our measurements are in complete agreement with how we would expect dark matter to behave." Because dark matter is not visible, its presence and distribution is found indirectly through its gravitational effects. The gravity from both dark and luminous matter warps space, bending and distorting light from galaxies and clusters behind it like a giant magnifying glass. Astronomers can use this effect, called gravitational lensing, to infer the presence of dark matter in massive galaxy clusters. Both teams used this technique to map the dark matter in the merging cluster. Clowe is encouraging other scientists to study the Hubble data and conduct their own analysis on the cluster.

Kurt Keutzer is currently a principal investigator in Berkeley's Universal Parallel Computing Research Center. Tim Mattson is a Principal Engineer in Intel's Visual Applications Research Laboratory.
The trend has been well established -- parallel processors will dominate most, if not every, niche of computing. Ideally, this transition would be driven by the needs of software. Scalable software would demand scalable hardware and that would drive CPUs to add cores. But software demands are not driving parallelism. The motivation for parallelism comes from the inability of integrated circuit designers to deliver steadily increasing frequency gains without pushing power dissipation to unsustainable levels. Thus, we have a dangerous mismatch: the semiconductor industry is banking its future on parallel microprocessors, while the software industry is still searching for an effective solution to the parallel programming problem.
The parallel programming problem is not new. It has been an active area of research for the last three decades, and we can learn a great deal from what has not worked in the past.
- Automatic parallelism. Compilers can speculate, prefetch data, and reorder instructions to balance the load among the components of a system. However, they cannot look at a serial algorithm and create a different algorithm better suited for parallel execution.
- New languages. Hundreds of new parallel languages and programming environments have been created over the last few decades. Many of them are excellent and provide high-level abstractions that simplify the expression of parallel algorithms. However, these languages have not dramatically grown the pool of parallel programmers. The fact is, in the one community with a long tradition of parallel computing (high-performance computing), the old standards of MPI [2] and OpenMP [3] continue to dominate. There is no reason to believe new languages will be any more successful as we move to more general-purpose programmers; i.e., it is not the quality of our programming models that is inhibiting the adoption of parallel programming.<./li>
The central cause of the parallel programming problem is fundamental to the enterprise of programming itself. In other words, we believe that our challenges in programming parallel processors point to deeper challenges in programming software in general. We believe the only way to solve the programming problem in general is to first understand how to architect software. Thus, we feel that the way to solve the parallel programming problem is to first understand how to architect parallel software. Given a good software design grounded in solid architectural principles, a software engineer can produce high-quality and scalable software. Starting with an ill-suited sense of the architecture for a software system, however, almost always leads to failure. Therefore, it follows that the first step in addressing the parallel programming problem is to focus on software architecture. From that vantage point, we have a hope of choosing the right programming models and building the right software frameworks that will allow the general population of programmers to produce parallel software.
In this article, we describe our work on software architecture. We use the device of a pattern language to write our ideas down and put them into a systematic form that can be used by others. After we present our pattern language [4], we present a case study to show how these patterns can be used to understand software architecture.
Software Architecture and Design Patterns
Productive, efficient software follows from good software architecture. Hence, we need to better formalize how software is architected, and in order to do this we need a way to write down architectural ideas in a form that groups of programmers can study, debate, and come to consensus on. is systematic process has at its core the peer review process that has been instrumental in advancing scientific and engineering disciplines.
The prerequisite to this process is a systematic way to write down the design elements from which an architecture is defined. Fortunately, the software community has already reached consensus on how to write these elements down in the important work Design Patterns [5]. Our aim is to arrive at a set of patterns whose scope encompasses the entire enterprise of software development from architectural description to detailed implementation.
Design Patterns
Design patterns give names to solutions to recurring problems that experts in a problem-domain gradually learn and take for granted. It is the possession of this tool-bag of solutions, and the ability to easily apply these solutions, that precisely defines what it means to be an expert in a domain.
For example, consider the Dense-Linear-Algebra pattern. Experts in fields that make heavy use of linear algebra have worked out a family of solutions to these problems. These solutions have a common set of design elements that can be captured in a Dense-Linear-Algebra design pattern. We summarize the pattern in the sidebar, but it is important to know that in the full text to the pattern [4] there would be sample code, examples, references, invariants, and other information needed to guide a software developer interested in dense linear algebra problems.
Computational Pattern: Dense-Linear-Algebra
Solution: A computation is organized as a sequence of arithmetic expressions acting on dense arrays of data. The operations and data access patterns are well defined mathematically so data can be pre-fetched and CPUs can execute close to their theoretically allowed peak performance. Applications of this pattern typically use standard building blocks defined in terms of the dimensions of the dense arrays with vectors (BLAS level 1), matrix-vector (BLAS level 2), and matrix-matrix (BLAS level 3) operations. The Dense-Linear-Algebra pattern is just one of the many patterns a software architect might use when designing an algorithm. A full design includes high-level patterns that describe how an application is organized, mid-level patterns about specific classes of computations, and low-level patterns describing specific execution strategies. We can take this full range of patterns and organize them into a single integrated pattern language -- a web of interlocking patterns that guide a designer from the beginning of a design problem to its successful realization [6, 7].
To represent the domain of software engineering in terms of a single pattern language is a daunting undertaking. Fortunately, based on our studies of successful application software, we believe software architectures can be built up from a manageable number of design patterns. These patterns define the building blocks of all software engineering and are fundamental to the practice of architecting parallel software. Hence, an effort to propose, argue about, and finally agree on what constitutes this set of patterns is the seminal intellectual challenge of our field.

Missouri insurance regulators to distribute $75 million to policyholders
Jefferson City, Mo. - More than 300,000 current and former policyholders of General American Life Insurance Co. (GALIC) will soon receive $75 million in distribution payments. In 1999 the Missouri Department of Insurance went to court to put GALIC's parent company, General American Mutual Holding Co., into receivership. The department uses the receivership process to shut down failing insurance companies and pay claims. Although the parent failed, GALIC was sold to another company and remains in good standing as a licensed insurer in Missouri.
This is the fourth distribution to policyholders since the General American Mutual went into receivership. As with all mutual companies, General American Mutual Holding Co. was owned by its policyholders. The payments represent a portion of the policyholders' ownership of the mutual company.
"When an insurer fails, the state doesn't simply shut down the company and close the doors" said John M. Huff, director of the Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration (DIFP). "There is a rigorous and often complicated process for calculating the debts owed to policyholders and the assets available to pay those debts. With today's announcement, we are making more progress toward fulfilling that obligation."
The Department of Insurance continues to seek to increase the remaining assets of General American Mutual in order to pay outstanding obligations. In May Director Huff, as receiver, filed a $3 billion lawsuit against the law firm of Dewey LeBoeuf in New York City, which represented General American Mutual in the late 1990s.
When an insurer is financially impaired or asks to be dissolved, the director of the Department of Insurance may ask to be appointed receiver by a circuit court judge. The company is then placed into receivership, and the department takes control of the insurer and administers its property and operations for the benefit of policyholders, creditors and owners.
General American Mutual Holding Co. is one of 11 insurance receiverships in Missouri, with the most recent coming in July 2008. All are under the oversight of the Department of Insurance, whose receivership section enforces Sections 375.1150 to 375.1246 of the Missouri statutes.
About the Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions & Professional Registration
The Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration (DIFP) is responsible for consumer protection through the regulation of financial industries and professionals. The department's seven divisions work to enforce state regulations both efficiently and effectively while encouraging a competitive environment for industries and professions to ensure consumers have access to quality products.

Classroom: ENGS 37: Introduction to Environmental Engineering
Professor Benoit Cushman-Roisin wants students taking his ENGS 37: Introduction to Environmental Engineering course to do a particular kind of problem solving: preventing environmental problems before they happen.
"I devote one third of the course to technologies of prevention," he says. "We put environmental engineers right out front with the engineers who design the cars, the buildings, the coal plants, before their technology gets out the door. Thus we can avoid problems of pollution in the first place."
Cushman-Roisin also introduces students to technological, policy, and risk-assessment issues related to water and air pollution, solid waste, and the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment. He pulls in environmental chemistry, life-cycle assessments, green design, and matters of scalability.
"One assignment was to design our own waste-water treatment plant," says Sarah Hammer '15, one of 62 fall-term ENGS 37 students. "I had to ask myself questions like, if I increased the amount of organisms feeding on the waste water, how would that affect the plant's efficiency?"
The course included field trips to examples of existing solutions to environmental challenges: the Hanover Water Reclamation plant, the Dartmouth Organic Farm, and The Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center, which attained the highest level of Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification. "The Life Sciences Center has many science labs, so it's really impressive that the builders still met all of LEED's Platinum standards," Cushman-Roisin says.
For Cushman-Roisin, environmental engineering borders on a calling. As he tells students in a series of bullet points early in the course: "Engineers are responsible for the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution has spread across the globe. There is a growing set of negative consequences, some local and some global. Thus, it stands to reason that engineers are called to play a central role in amending current technological practices and designing and deploying sustainable technologies."

In my six-years or so of living abroad - only a 2 or 3 on the expat-experi-o-meter - I've had both the ups and downs and have also noticed the very different labels stuck on and boxes people are neatly, but more often untidly stuffed in. This labeling is something I firmly don't believe in, but will attempt to provide my view on the spectrum of expatriatism in Vietnam of which I will try to show the two extremes.
Arthur has made no attempt to engage in the culture or learn the language, except for the few phrases (in completely the wrong tones) he uses to impress foreign visitors when he takes them for a "cultural tour" around Bến Thành Market or directs his driver to turn quẹo phải or quẹo trái, . Arthur's chauffeur drives him to work every day and he only knows a smattering of street names in District 1 like Lê Lợi or Đồng Khởi, as these are where his offices are. He may know where Bến Thành Market is, but ask Arthur where Bà Chiểu or Dân Sinh markets are and he will stare at you blankly saying his driver will know so no there is no need to learn such insignificant details. Throw him in the middle of Gò Vấp or Tân Phú Districts without his driver, and he will have a nervous breakdown, trying to find a Mai Linh taxi as quick as possible (because the other companies all rip off foreigners, you know, and don't speak English, and besides, he has company a taxi card).
Arthur has tried phở once or twice, but only at Pho 24 where it is clean, and the suggestion of trying it on the side of the street is just appalling to him. How unhygienic! Buying a coffee off the street is the scariest. Do you know how or where that ice was made? Mostly, he only orders Western delivery or eats at high-end Western restaurants and occasionally tries Asian food when entertaining business guests, but only in immaculate, air-conditioned surroundings like the Khaisilk group of restaurants. When his one or two-year contract in Vietnam is up, he'll have some fond memories – mostly of Chamber of Commerce cocktail parties, five-star resorts and good rounds of golf up and down the east coast. Arthur will not know much about the real Vietnam, the people, the culture, the language, but he will feel pleased for his experience in this "hardship post" that his company forced him into, and the kudos this stint would get him around the tie-and-jacket dinner party tables in Hong Kong or Dubai.
Of course, Jimmy speaks fluent Vietnamese, even knows how to nói lái and knows Vietnamese idioms, endlessly impressing his friends and other Vietnamese, when he busts out his Southern-accented slang. Jimmy knows the latest log standing of the V-league by heart and argues with his friend over whether Becamex Bình Dương can reclaim their former glory. He only shops at the local fresh market and detests driving into District 1. He prefers a weekend away in Vũng Tàu or Bến Tre, fishing, playing cards and drinking shots of rice wine with his girlfriend's uncles than spending too much money at a tourist resort in Mui Ne or a shopping holiday in Hoi An. Jimmy is always arguing with his Vietnamese girlfriend over where the best bowl of hủ tiếu Nam Vang or cháo lòng can be found, and loves the taste of all the things foreigners usually detest, like durian or mắm tôm. He knows all the Vietnamese musicians that are cool at the moment as well as the actors and actresses, and he watched some Korean soapies, but only during the week as he works all weekend at a local English centre.

Richard Madaris was my next-door neighbor my freshman year at Appalachian. His roommate was Eddie Smith. They were both from Hickory.
I may not remember either if it wasn�t for this event, which happened more than 35 years ago.
A few weeks into our first year of college, Richard and I were playing tennis on courts not far from our dorm. It was late on a Friday afternoon. The weather was nice. One of us mentioned how much we�d like to be at the beach.
The next thing I knew, Richard and I were standing along U.S. 321 in Boone hitchhiking to Myrtle Beach. It was already after 5 p.m. The sun was setting over the mountains.
I remember a few things about the night. It was dark by the time we got to Hickory. We were walking along a road when Richard pointed to a vehicle and said, �That�s my parents� car.�
It was a Holiday Inn that included a restaurant. Richard�s parents were having dinner. We walked in and found them in the dining room. Richard�s father offered us their car to drive to the beach. Richard said no, we were in the midst of an adventure.
We finally caught a ride to downtown Charlotte. It was midnight. I was hungry (oh, to be 18, skinny and hungry again). I walked in a convenience store and bought two 24-ounce beers (the drinking age was 18 at the time). Richard and I went behind the store where each of us quaffed a beer.
Sometime during the course of the evening we were picked up by rednecks who decided they wanted to fight Richard. Another ride came from a law enforcement officer who told us not to hitchhike.
I have no idea the two-lane road we were on. I remember someone deposited us at the South Carolina border about 2 a.m. It was a stretch where we could see cars coming for miles. The few that passed roared by at 60 mph.
Richard and I eventually crawled behind shrubs that bordered a nearby church. We planned to sleep. After a couple of minutes, I felt something on my leg. I looked. Nothing. This was repeated several times. I finally looked to see a mouse crawling up my leg.
I yelled and kicked at it. Richard busted out laughing. �I�ve been laying over here watching those church mice crawl up and down your leg,� he said.
We woke at dawn. It was drizzling rain and much cooler. Richard and I ditched our plans of visiting Myrtle Beach. Instead, we hitchhiked back to Boone. Overall, the night was a miserable experience. But it�s one I still remember.
A few years back, in a previous job, I had to fly to Memphis. On the flight home, I spoke to the guy sitting beside me. He was from Hickory. I asked if he knew Richard or Eddie.
�Richard�s my financial adviser and I play golf with Eddie every Thursday,� he said.
I told him to tell Richard I was still mad at him for letting those church mice crawl on my leg as long as he did.

Linda Robertson: NCAA rules lose weight once again
When the moral compass of college sports is broken, morality gets lost and veers off the straight and narrow road to follow an enticing shortcut.
Cheating becomes a two-cent word.
Punishment becomes anticlimactic.
That's why some University of Miami fans are celebrating the sanctions against their school's teams as victory. They see UM as victim and the NCAA as wrongdoer — even when UM's own president, Donna Shalala, admitted shame and consternation over booster Nevin Shapiro's unchecked decade-long, free-for-all entertaining athletes, coaches and recruits inside his mansion, aboard his yacht and at Miami Beach restaurants and nightclubs.
How did things turn upside down? And what does the resolution of UM's case say about the weakening grip of the NCAA over the concept of right and wrong in the increasingly professionalized culture of college sports?
After two and a half years of investigation, trial and deliberation, UM learned the verdict Tuesday and was penalized with the loss of nine football and three basketball scholarships over the course of three years' probation. The light sentence was not unexpected, given that UM had self-imposed two postseason bans, yet it was baffling to many schools who suffered worse for more isolated types of infractions and were not found guilty of "lack of institutional control," as UM was for allowing an atmosphere of indifference toward rules.
The NCAA, which botched the UM investigation and discarded 20 percent of the evidence — primarily on Shapiro's role as sports agent — came out looking fair and just in the eyes of Miami supporters but inscrutable to most observers around the nation.
UM's punishment, coming on the heels of cases at North Carolina, South Carolina and Central Florida, among others, was another example of wild inconsistency from the NCAA, which destroyed Penn State's football program over the criminal charges and coverup in the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse case, slammed Ohio State in the tattoo parlor case, subtracted 30 scholarships from USC in the Reggie Bush case and then pinched Johnny Manziel with a 30-minute benching for autographing thousands of items for memorabilia sellers.
When the NCAA's purpose as lawmaker, policeman and judge is ridiculed, rules lose their weight, too. Oklahoma State should be scandalized by Sports Illustrated's findings and worried about a pending NCAA investigation. Instead, more shrugs than embarrassment.
The flawed Miami case and its outcome took another bite out of the NCAA's credibility. The NCAA is only as strong as its membership, and its members — who call themselves institutions of higher learning — use it as a punching bag, jabbing at contradictory rules and convoluted adjudication. Their aim tilts toward beating the inept, evil NCAA rather than cleaning up their dirty athletic departments. The NCAA stands in the way of its own mission.
The NCAA was built on the ideal of amateurism, but that is crumbling. The college sports industry has been secretly semi-professional forever and is shifting toward a professional model. Coaches' outlandish salaries, the bouncing billions of March Madness, a bowl bonanza morphing to an even more lucrative playoff system and ballooning TV contracts all make the NCAA more archaic.
The sheer volume of money flowing to the NCAA and its member schools and conferences buttresses the argument that college athletes are exploited pawns who deserve a cut.
"The NCAA is losing power already to conference commissioners," said Murray Sperber, college professor and author of the seminal books College Sports Inc. and Beer and Circus. "If players get paid, out goes 90 percent of the NCAA rulebook."
Not only is the NCAA under threat by talk of super conferences breaking free of its command, but by Ed O'Bannon's lawsuit for compensation and growing public opinion in favor of pay for athletes.
"The older generation would like to keep the romantic idea of a small-town kid like Damon Bailey becoming a college hero at Indiana — which is an illusion anyway," said Sperber, who formerly taught at Indiana and is now at California-Berkeley. "The younger generation says, 'Well, Division I athletes are practically pros now so why not grant them that status?' "
The belief that athletes are used while being denied their piece of the profit makes it easier to look the other way when a booster such as Shapiro gives gifts or assistant football coach Clint Hurtt drives recruits to Shapiro's house so they can use his jet skis and go clubbing on his tab. When Chris Webber complained that he couldn't afford a hamburger, his free meals (and thousands in money) from a booster could be seen as rightful rewards.
As the NCAA loses its influence, so does the compunction to be clean: If our rivals are skirting the impossibly complicated, outdated rules, so must we to keep up with them.
Thus there are fans like the minority at UM, upset more at the NCAA than at the conduct of athletes and coaches.
"Of all the schools who are not victims, Miami is at the front of the line not only because they knew the rules but because they've been through this drill several times before," said Sperber, who wasn't surprised about reaction to the NCAA's latest report. "College sports is one of the most dysfunctional and illogical institutions in America. It makes no sense."
Damage to UM's teams by the NCAA taint will soon come to an end, and it starts Saturday when No.7 UM plays Wake Forest, finally free from the cloud. But damage to UM's reputation should not be glossed over, Sperber said. College sports can bring both types of attention.
"When Bob Knight was winning with upstanding programs, the university got lots of positive publicity, but when he went crazy and choked players, IU bled crimson," Sperber said. "Miami's NCAA cases have hurt. It went from Suntan U. to Dr. Dre U. to this present scandal. Miami is a wonderful, respected academic institution, but your average American didn't hear that when the football team got in trouble again.
"The difference is that a lot of people in Miami were not morally outraged by kids on yachts and in strip clubs."
The question is, whether it's Miami or Stillwater, if the NCAA is a laughingstock, do its rules really count?

If Washington Redskins fans are looking for someone to thank for the signing of DeSean Jackson, they perhaps can start with QB1.
"Robert Griffin has done a great job of embracing me, calling me soon as I was a free agent and said, 'I want to do my best to get you here,'" Jackson said during a Redskins conference call on Wednesday. "I think they respect him enough out here to listen to him. He had a big part of me signing here."
For both team and player, the goal of the media engagement was to look ahead, not back. Jackson made that clear when asked about the circumstances behind his release from the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I'm not really here to address (what led to his Philly departure). People that know me, know what type of player I am, they respect me and know that I'm a team guy. (Attitude has) never been a problem.
"I'm happy about the situation that I'm in here. At the end of the day, it's all about winning in the NFL. We all know what it comes down to. Everybody is happy when you're winning."
Jackson also discussed being released following the best statistical season of his career.
|Take a look at the best shots of DeSean Jackson.
"It was a humbling experience for myself, me being at the peak of my career and doing some great things," he said. " ... I'm very humbled, to be released like that."
Jackson found a way to steer any questions about Chip Kelly -- the figure believed to be the driving force behind Jackson's Philly ouster -- back to his new coach, Jay Gruden. Jackson said he'd been keeping his eye on Gruden during the coach's time as offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals (whatever that means) and remarked that Gruden would have a lot of toys to play with this season.
The Redskins did their best to introduce Jackson in a controlled climate, eschewing the introductory news conference in favor of a conference call open only to Redskins media. Washington is doing its best to protect its valuable new asset.

Strings that contain references to variables or expressions are called interpolated strings. When you use interpolated strings, the embedded expressions and variables are evaluated and the result is inserted into the string. The act of inserting data into a string is called string interpolation.
Use interpolated strings in expressions, log formats, and obj.conf parameters. In expressions, only string literals bracketed by double quotes are interpolated. For more information, see Expression Literals.
To include the value of a variable in a string, prefix the name of the variable with the dollar-sign ($). For example, the following format element in server.xml logs the client IP address, requested URI, and corresponding file system path for each HTTP request:
<access-log> <file>access</file> <format>$ip "$uri" $path</format> </access-log>
In this example, $ip, $uri, and $path are predefined variables. For more information, see Variables.
For more information on access logs and log format, see Appendix C, Using the Custom Log File Format. For more information on the access-log element in server.xml, see access-log.
If the name of the variable is ambiguous, add curly braces, {}, to the name. For example, the following string contains a reference to the predefined $path variable:
Without the curly braces, the string instead contains a reference to a hypothetical variable named pathhtml.
To include the result of an expression in a string, prefix the expression with $(and follow it with ). For example, the following two strings are identical after interpolation:
"$(2 + 2)" "4"
When an interpolated string is used as an obj.conf parameter, the string is interpolated each time the corresponding instruction is executed. For example, the following lines could be used in obj.conf to redirect clients based on the requested URI and the contents of the file redirect.conf:
<Object ppath="/redirect/*"> NameTrans fn="redirect" url="$(lookup('redirect.conf', $uri, '/'))" </Object>
In this example, the expression lookup('redirect.conf', $uri, '/') is evaluated each time the NameTrans directive is invoked, and the result is passed to the redirect SAF in its url parameter. For more information on the redirect SAF, see redirect. For more information on the lookup expression function, see lookup.

Pharmacist urges knowing specifics during enrollment
Staff writer
Jean Pierce of Marion isn't interested in going out of town to get her Medicare Part D prescriptions filled no matter how much insurance companies want to steer business to big chain pharmacies— and neither do her friends.
"I'll just stick with my local Marion pharmacy," she said. "We have to keep something local going."
Some Medicare Part D policies contain a "preferred" clause that designates certain pharmacies as being able to offer prescriptions to seniors at lower costs than non-preferred pharmacies. However, the preferred status went to major nationwide pharmacies like Wal-Mart, Walgreens, and CVS.
Marion Health Mart owner Marlin Buchholz said the change caught him off guard.
"We didn't realize that some of the new plans were like that," he said.
He believes the plans are misleading because they present a cost savings, but fail to tell residents where the preferred pharmacies are located, and failed to give local pharmacies a choice to be a preferred provider.
"This isn't something we turned down," he said. "We didn't choose not to be preferred. We were never even offered the option."
The plans cannot bar customers from choosing their own pharmacy, but they can charge a higher co-pay.
"It's forcing people to drive to save," he said. "I've lost customers because they can't afford the higher amount, and I can't blame them; they don't have a choice."
The change especially affects seniors who cannot drive or are on a tight budget, Buchholz said. The difference in costs is only a few dollars per prescription, but seniors on a tight budget who need four or five prescriptions a month are finding it hard to continue to have their prescriptions filled locally.
"That's where the government has turned their back," he said. "It's all about money."
While the plans that distinguish preferred and non- preferred are currently few, he expects the number to grow steadily every year.
To fight the issue, Buchholz is planning on attending several meetings for independent pharmacies over the next few months and contacting his state and national representatives. He also urges seniors to be aware when enrolling for plans in the fall and research which plans contain the preferred clause and choose a plan that allows them to purchase their prescriptions locally at the same price as the big chains.
"I can't help believe that something won't happen to change this down the road," he said.
In Peabody, Don's Drug Store co-owner Ken Krehbiel said the plans have forced some of his customers to travel to Newton for their prescriptions.
"Preferred plans say go here or pay higher co-pays, and sometimes the savings is so substantial that there's no other choice," he said. "You can't blame people for that."
Preferred plans have been around for several years, Krehbiel said.
"They've been more transparent about them as of this year, but for the first few years they didn't tell people what the preferred part meant," he said.
He said several of his customers, who didn't realize the savings on co-pay would cost them the drive to Newton, have returned to getting their prescriptions at his store.
"Some have shown loyalty but as the savings have gotten bigger, it's harder for them to do," he said.
Because Krehbiel believes local pharmacies must address this issue or lose a large portion of their customer base, he is a member of a group working to remove the preferred clause from Part D policies.
Eric Driggers, owner of Greenhaw Pharmacy, in Hillsboro also believes that small pharmacies must address the issue quickly.
"Legislation already has been proposed to do away with the preferred versus non-preferred distinction," he said. "I plan on alerting my legislative leaders and telling them how important it is this bill passes."
Several lawmakers have signed a bipartisan letter written by U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith of Virginia showing concern for the problem. In January, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed changes that would allow any community pharmacy to participate in a preferred network if willing to accept contract terms.
Driggers has received complaints from customers who are concerned about their insurance trying to push them into mail ordering their medications or traveling to other pharmacies to have them filled at prices they can afford.
"It's forcing my customers to drive 30 minutes to an hour away, and their question is why can't we offer the same price here?" he said. "It's not like we choose to offer their medication at a more expensive price. We had no choice."
He also expects the number of preferred versus non-preferred policies to grow every year because of agreements between insurance companies and larger pharmacies looking to make more money.
"Unless something changes," he said, "it's going to be up to people if they want local pharmacies to be around. They are going to have to make the choice to not travel and pay more and to make a decision on their insurance and what type of insurance they choose. They are choosing whether or not we will be here."
A sample of a letter that can be personalized to show public support for the change is also available at http://bit.ly/partdsampleletter.
Driggers encourages residents to send the letter to their congressional representative before the public comment period closes March 7.

Ron Weasley[edit]
- [Referring to Hermione] We won't last two days without her. [pause] Don't tell her I said that.
- [about Hermione's copy of "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard"] Mum used to read those to me as a kid! "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot", "Babbity Rabbity And Her Cackling Stump"... [Harry and Hermione both look lost] Come on! Babitty Rabbity... No?
- [after barely managing to destroy a horcrux] Just think. Only three more to go.
- The deluminator. It doesn't just turn off lights. I don't know how it worked but Christmas morning, I was sleeping in this little pub, keeping away from some Snatchers, and I heard it. A voice. Your voice, Hermione. You said my name. Just my name. Like a whisper. So I took it, clicked it and this tiny ball of light appeared. And I knew. It flew towards me, the ball of light, right through my chest and straight through me. Right here. [touches his heart] And I knew it was going to take me where I needed to go.
- [About Xenophilius] That treacherous little bleeder! Is there no one we can trust?

Everything's changed. If I brought them back here now, they'd probably not recognize any of it. Not the trees, not the river... not even me. [Pause] Maybe we should just stay here, Harry. Grow old... [Another pause] You wanted to know who the boy in the photograph was. I know. Gellert Grindlewald. [Hands Harry The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore]
- [Reading the Tale of the Three Brothers] There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass, but being learned in the magical arts, the three brothers simply waved their wands and made a bridge. Before they could cross, however, they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. It was Death, and he felt cheated. Cheated because travelers would normally drown in the river, but Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him. The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence, so Death fashioned him one from an elder tree that stood nearby. The second brother decided he wanted to humiliate Death even further and asked for the power to recall loved ones from the grave, so Death plucked a stone from the river and offered it to him. Finally Death turned to the third brother. A humble man, he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And so it was that Death reluctantly handed over his own cloak of invisibility. The first brother traveled to a distant village. While with the Elder Wand in hand, he killed a wizard with whom he had once quarreled. Drunk with the power that the Elder Wand had given him, he bragged of his invincibility. But that night, another wizard stole the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure. And so Death took the first brother for his own. The second brother journeyed to his home, where he took the stone and turned it thrice in hand. To his delight, the girl he had once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him. Yet soon she turned sad and cold, for she did not belong in the mortal world. Driven mad with hopeless longing, the second brother killed himself so as to join her. And so Death took the second brother. As for the third brother, Death searched for many years but was never able to find him. Only when he attained a great age did the youngest brother shed the Cloak of Invisibility and give it to his son. He then he greeted Death as an old friend and went with him gladly, departing this life as equals.
- We forgot to celebrate your birthday Harry! Ginny and I, we prepared a cake! We were going to bring it out at the end of the wedding!
- Shaftesbury Avenue. I used to come to the theater here with mum and dad. I don't know why I thought of that, it just popped into my head.
- To Harry! It belongs to Harry. It came to him when he most needed it in the Chamber of Secrets.
- I've had all the essentials packed for days, just in case.
Lord Voldemort[edit]
- As inspiring as I find your bloodlust, Bellatrix, I must be the one to kill Harry Potter.
- [to Ron via Horcrux] I have seen your heart, and it is mine.
- To those of you who do not know. We are joined tonight by Ms. Charity Burbage, who until recently taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her specialty was Muggle Studies. It is Ms. Burbage's belief that Muggles are not so different from us. She would, given her way, have us mate with them. To her, the mixture of magical and Muggle blood is not an abomination, but something to be encouraged.
Dobby the House Elf[edit]
- [After Luna calls him, "Sir"] Sir? I like her very much!
- [After dropping a chandelier from the ceiling] Dobby did not mean to kill anyone! Dobby only meant to maim, or seriously injure!
- (when yelled at by Bellatrix about defying his masters) Dobby has no master. Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends!
- [last words] Such a beautiful place, to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter.
- Rufus Scrimgeour: [First lines] These are dark times, there is no denying. Our world has perhaps faced no greater threat than it does today. But I say this to our citizenry: We, ever your servants, will continue to defend your liberty and repel the forces that seek to take it from you! Your Ministry remains, strong.
- Neville Longbottom: [Confronting Death Eaters on the train] Hey losers, he isn't here.
- Luna Lovegood: [to her father] Harry doesn't want to talk to us right now. He's just too polite to say so.
- Luna Lovegood: [to Harry] We should close his eyes, don't you think? [closes Dobby's eyes] There. Now he could be sleeping.
- Xenophilius Lovegood: [draws a line] The Elder Wand, the most powerful wand ever made. [draws a circle] The Resurrection Stone. [draws a triangle] The Cloak of Invisibility. Together, they make the Deathly Hallows. Together, they make one master of death.
- Cormac McLaggen: [Confronted with Death Eaters on the train to Hogwarts] My father will hear about this.
- Lucius Malfoy: [To Scabior] You dare to talk to me like that in my own house?!
- Fred and George Weasley: [after each taking a potion to make them look like Harry] Wow! We're identical!
- Ginny Weasley: [while Harry zips her dress up] Seems silly, doesn't it? A wedding. Given everything that's going on.
- Harry Potter: Maybe that's the best reason to have it. Because of everything that's going on.
- [She turns to him and they kiss. George sneaks into the kitchen silently; he stirs a cup of tea and sticks the spoon in the hole where his ear was.]
- George Weasley: [after Ginny spots him and stopped kissing Harry] Morning.
- Hermione Granger: [upon arriving at Godric's Hollow] We should have taken Polyjuice.
- Harry Potter: No... this is where I was born. I won't return as someone else.
- Harry Potter: This is mental.
- Hermione Granger: Completely.
- Ron Weasley: The world's mental.
- Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: Potter, you're underage, which means you still have the Trace on you.
- Harry Potter: What's the Trace?
- Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: If you sneeze, the Ministry will know who wipes your nose. Point is, we'll have to use those means of transport the Trace can't detect: Brooms, Thestrals, and the like; we'll go in pairs. That way if anyone's out there waiting for us, and I reckon there will be... they won't know which Harry Potter is the real one.
- Harry Potter: The real one?
- Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: [brings out Polyjuice Potion] I reckon that you're familiar with this particular brew.
- Harry Potter: [recognizes it] No, absolutely not.
- Hermione Granger: Told you he'd take it well.
- Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody: For those of you who haven't taken Polyjuice Potion before, fair warning: It tastes like goblin piss.
- Fred Weasley: Have lots of experience with that, do you, Mad-Eye? ...Just trying to diffuse the tension.
- Kingsley Shacklebolt: [pointing his wand at Lupin] The last words that Albus Dumbledore said to the pair of us?
- Remus Lupin: "Harry is the best hope we have. Trust him."
- Lord Voldemort: Severus. I was beginning to worry that you had lost your way. Come, we've saved you a seat. You bring news, I trust?
- Severus Snape: It will happen Saturday next, at nightfall.
- Corban Yaxley: I heard differently, my Lord. Dawlish, the Auror, has let slip that the Potter boy will not be moved until the 30th of this month, the day before he turns 17.
- Severus Snape: This is a false trail. The Auror office no longer plays any part in the protection of Harry Potter.
- Fred Weasley: [walking into burrow and seeing the injured George] How you feeling, Georgie?
- George Weasley: [quietly] Saint-like.
- Fred Weasley: [confused pause] Come again?
- George Weasley: Saint like. I'm holy... [Points to spot where his ear is missing] Holey, get it?
- Fred Weasley: [laughs quietly] The whole world of ear-related humor, and you go for, "I'm holy"? You're pathetic.
- George Weasley: Reckon I'm still better looking than you.
- Lord Voldemort: What say you, Pius?
- Pius Thicknesse: One hears many things my Lord, and if the truth is among them is not clear.
- Lord Voldemort: Ha! Spoken like a true politician. You will, I think, prove most useful, Pius.
- [Harry, Ron, and Hermione are in their tent, and Harry and Hermione are discussing a theory on how they could destroy the rest of the Horcruxes with the sword of Godric Gryffindor.]
- Harry Potter: There's just one problem.
- Ron Weasley: The sword was stolen. [Walks up, turns the lamp back on with his Deluminator. Ron has a stony look on his face.] Yeah. I'm still here. But you two carry on. Don't let me spoil your fun.
- Harry Potter: What's wrong?
- Ron Weasley: Well, nothing's wrong. Not according to you, anyway.
- Harry Potter: Look, if you've got something to say, don't be shy. Spit it out.
- Ron Weasley: All right, I'll spit it out. But don't expect me to be grateful just because now there's another damn thing we've gotta find.
- Harry Potter: I thought you knew what you signed up for!
- Ron Weasley: Yeah. I thought I did, too.
- Harry Potter: Well then, I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand. What part of this isn't living up to your expectations? Did you think we were gonna be staying in a five-star hotel? Finding a Horcrux every other day? You thought you'd be back with your mum by Christmas?
- Ron Weasley: I just thought after all this time we would have actually achieved something! I thought you knew what you were doing! I thought Dumbledore would've told you something worthwhile! I thought you had a plan!
- Harry Potter: I told you everything Dumbledore told me! And in case you haven't noticed, we have found a Horcrux already.
- Ron Weasley: [bitterly] Yeah and we're about as close to getting rid of it as we are to finding the rest of them, aren't we?
- Hermione Granger: [trying to intervene] Ron, please. [She tries to take the locket off of Ron, but he angrily shoves her away] Please take the Horcrux off! You won't be saying any of this if you hadn't been wearing it all day!
- Ron Weasley: You don't know why I listen to that radio every night, do ya? To make sure I don't hear Ginny's name. Or Fred, or George, or Mum--
- Harry Potter: What, you think I'm not listening too? YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS FEELS?!
- Ron Weasley: NO, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS! Your parents are dead! You have no family!
- [Furious at what Ron just said, Harry attacks him]
- Hermione Granger: Stop! Stop! [pulls the boys apart]
- Harry Potter: FINE THEN, GO!!! GO THEN!
- [Ron wrenches the locket off and gets his bag]
- Hermione Granger: Ron...
- Ron Weasley: [turns to Hermione] And you? Are you coming or are you staying? [Hermione looks torn; she glances from Harry to Ron in shock] Fine. I get it. I saw you two the other night.
- Hermione Granger: [tears in her eyes] Ron, that's – that's nothing!
- Ron Weasley: How long do you think she'll stay mad at me?
- Harry Potter: Just keep talking about that little ball of light touching your heart, and she'll come 'round.
- Fred and George: [disguised as Harry] Wow, we're identical!
- Moody: Not yet, you're not.
- Harry Potter: [about Ron, after he returns] You're not still mad at him, are you?
- Hermione Granger: I'm always mad at him.
- Dobby the House Elf: [in the kitchen at Grimmauld Place] And then Dobby saw Kreacher talking to the thief Mundungus...
- Mundungus Fletcher: [interrupting] I'm not a thief! You foul little... git! I'm a buyer and purveyor of valuable and wondrous objects.
- Ron Weasley: You're a thief, Dung, everyone knows it!
- Remus Lupin: What creature sat in the corner the first time Harry Potter visited my office in Hogwarts?
- Harry Potter: ARE YOU MAD?
- Remus Lupin: WHAT CREATURE!?
- Harry Potter: A Grindylow!
- Remus Lupin: [releases Harry] We've been betrayed. Voldemort knew you were coming tonight. I had to make sure you're not an impostor.
- Kingsley Shacklebolt: What gave you away?
- Harry Potter: Hedwig, I think. She was trying to protect me.
- Ron Weasley: [as Cattermole] Morning.
- Harry Potter: [as Runcorn] Ron, it's me.
- Ron Weasley: [as Cattermole] Harry! Blimey, forgot what you look like. Where's Hermione?
- Harry Potter: [as Runcorn] She's gone down to the courtrooms, with Umbridge.
- Ron Weasley: [as Cattermole] Oh, my God. What am I gonna do? My wife's all alone downstairs.
- Harry Potter: [as Runcorn] Ron, you don't have a wife.
- Ron Weasley: [as Cattermole] Oh, right.
- Yaxley: Cattermole. It's still raining inside my office. That's two days now.
- Ron Weasley: [as Cattermole] Have you tried an umbrella?
- [Umbridge is presiding over Mrs. Cattermole's Hearing, while Harry (disguised as Albert Runcorn), witnesses, Ron (disguised as her husband, Reg), takes his place beside her, and Hermione (disguised as Mafalda Hopkirk) records the minutes]
- Umbridge: Mary Elizabeth Cattermole?
- Mrs. Cattermole: Yes?
- Umbridge: A wand was taken from you upon your arrival at the Ministry today, Mrs. Cattermole. [holds up said wand] Is this that wand? [She nods] Would you please tell the court from which witch or wizard you took this wand?
- Mrs. Cattermole: I didn't take it! I got it in Diagon Alley, at Ollivanders, when I was 11. It chose me!
- Umbridge: You're lying. Wands only choose witches, and you are not a witch.
- Mrs. Cattermole: But I am! [To Ron] Tell them, Reg! Tell them what I am! [Ron is silent] Reg, tell them what I am.
- [Harry sees the locket, and his anger becomes too much. He withdraws his wand]
- Umbridge: What on earth are you doing, Albert?
- Harry: [As Runcorn] You're lying, Dolores... [Umbridge looks shocked, and Hermione tenses up] And one mustn't tell lies. Stupefy!
- [He stuns Umbridge, knocking her out. Yaxley goes for his wand, but Ron gets there first and stuns him, while Hermione quickly scrabbles for the locket]
- [Bellatrix holds Hermione and Griphook hostage]
- Bellatrix: [At Griphook] Consider yourself lucky, Goblin. [involving Hermione] The same won't be said for this one.
- Ron Weasley: Like hell! [charges upstairs to strike at Bellatrix] Expelliarmus!
Deleted Scenes[edit]
- Vernon Dursley: This isn't just goodbye, boy, is it? This is farewell.
- Dudley Dursley: I don't understand. Isn't he coming with us?
- Vernon Dursley: Who?
- Dudley Dursley: Harry.
- Vernon Dursley: Absolutely not.
- Dudley Dursley: Why?
- Vernon Dursley: Why? [stammering] Because he doesn't want to. Do you, boy?
- Harry Potter: Absolutely not, no. Besides, I'm just a waste of space. Isn't that right, Vernon?
- Vernon Dursley: Come on Dudley. We're off.
- [Dudley shakes Harry's hand]
- Dudley Dursley: I don't think you're a waste of space.
- Harry Potter: Thanks. [Dudley goes back to the car with his parents] [Smiles at Dudley] See you, Big D.
- [Harry finds Aunt Petunia standing alone in the empty living room]
- Aunt Petunia: I have lived in this house for twenty years, and now in a single night, I'm expected to leave.
- Harry Potter: They'll torture you. If they think for a moment you know where I'm going, they'll stop at nothing.
- Aunt Petunia: [pause] You think I don't know what they're capable of? You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, you know. I lost a sister. [leaves]

The Tranpath R27A is an original equipment car tyre designed specifically by Toyo Tires for the Mazda 2 Neo and Maxx (2007 to current). Available in tyre size 185/55R15 82V.
The load rating (represented by the numerical value) is related to the maximum weight that tyre can carry. So in this case 105 would refer to a load capacity of 925kg, with most passenger vehicle load indexes range from 62 to 126.
In all instances the tyres load index must meet or exceed the value displayed on the vehicles placard.
The speed category symbol, for example 'S', indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry a load corresponding to its load index. So in this case, 'S' would refer to a maximum speed of 180km/hour.
See the chart below for a full list of speed symbols and their applicable values.

Saudi Women's Big Victory: To Drive after Long Fought Battle with the Saudi Dictatorship!published on Wednesday, September 27, 2017
After decades of Saudi activists both men and women fighting for the right of women to be able to drive in Saudi Arabia, they have finally won! The Saudi dictatorship has been forced to take a step back from its oppressive laws and give women the hard fought right to drive. Until now Saudi Arabia was the only country in the world that did not allow women to drive! This is a great victory for the women of Saudi, I am so proud and humbled by their dedication and persistence in the face of persecution to obtain the what is rightfully theirs.
Women of Saudi are a great inspiration and a ray of hope to the women in Iran who have led their own decades long fight against the Islamic dictatorship in Iran. Over the last three (3) decades women of Iran supported by many Iranian men have forced the government to take steps back and make concessions that they would not have made otherwise.
I am inspired by all these brave women and can only hope to be as brave and strong as they are.
Big victory for women of Saudi Arabia today! YOU DESERVE IT!

FITCHBURG -- Thousands of people of all ages and all walks of life descended upon the downtown Wednesday evening for the annual Civic Days Block Party and fireworks.
From antique cars and motorcycles in the Upper Common to performances by the YoYo People to sand-pile and sidewalk chalk activities to train rides for children, there was something for everybody in the crowds that gathered on Main Street.
"This is what we wanted. We wanted people to come out for the Fourth of July, come out to our streets," said Civic Days Committee Chairwoman Diane Burnette. "This is more than I even expected this year."
"There's so many people here, the weather turned out perfectly and everyone is just having such a good time," said Mayor Lisa Wong. "This is probably one of the best Civic Days we've ever had."
Spontaneous dance parties appeared up and down the upper stretch of Main Street, with participants grooving to a myriad of musical sounds. Son Bori Q brought the Latin flavor, The Jazz Depot provided some classy jazz, the Maverick Street Band rocked out country-style and DJ Steve Jasa brought urban and electronic sounds.
Daniel Serrano, 29, of Fitchburg, brought his three children, ages 4 to 7, and said they were having a blast with all of the activities. He said he attends the event every year.
"It's hard to find something to do sometimes that's not boring," Serrano said. "A day like this is fun."
Children eagerly lined up to have their faces painted by members of the Modern Edge Center for the Arts. Jaden Ovaska, 8, of Fitchburg, who was experiencing his first Civic Days Block Party, had his face painted to look like a jaguar, and then headed over to the Rolling Video Games truck, which provided a number of different video games for kids to try out.
"It's my favorite thing to do," Jaden said of the video games.
He also enjoyed the jumpy houses in Monument Park, which were a constant attraction for young children throughout the entire event.
New Fitchburg Art Museum Director Nicholas Capasso was also experiencing his first Civic Days, and was blown away by the number of people who congregated on Main Street for the event, and all of the different communities they represented, coming together for a good time.
He said Jerry Beck, the museum's director of community engagement, had been telling him over and over again how great the event would be and how many people it would draw, but he had to see to believe.
"I'm amazed," Capasso said.
The museum provided several art activities and games for kids, a street sculpture and showed off collaborative projects with local schools. Fitchburg High School art and Spanish students made tree-like sculptures emblazoned with bilingual poetry, and McKay Arts Academy students painted designs on red, white and blue planting pots that were assembled in the shape of an American flag.
School Committee Vice Chairwoman Sally Cragin said it was the first time that Fitchburg public schools were represented at Civic Days.
"This is a nice opportunity to see our school kids and meet their families," Cragin said.
