Two men were on and two were out at Wrigley Field when Cubs catcher Henry Blanco and his .146 batting average stepped to the plate Saturday as the potential winning run in the ninth inning, his team trailing the White Sox 5-3.
The most concerned Sox fan in the ballpark might have been Ozzie Guillen Jr.
According to Guillen Jr., the 20-year-old son of the Sox manager who hails from Venezuela, Blanco is to winter-ball catchers what Mike Piazza is to the major-league variety.
"Henry's the man back home in Venezuela," Guillen Jr. said of the captain of the Caracas Lions. "People wouldn't know it here, but he's huge, like a rock star."
Cubs fans were not chanting Blanco's name or demanding an encore after his final at-bat against the Sox.
Blanco grounded into a fielder's choice against closer Dustin Hermanson, ending a day that would be celebrated in Venezuelan sports bars with satellite television no matter the outcome.
"They're watching at home or keeping track on the Internet, no doubt about it," said Sox pitcher Freddy Garcia, a Caracas native. "It's a big deal back there."
A Garcia-vs.-Carlos Zambrano matchup might have been big enough to declare a baseball holiday in the South American country of 25 million where the sport is similar in some circles to a religion.
But Garcia started and won Friday, setting the stage for Zambrano to make it two Venezuelan pitching victories in a row.
An hour before the first pitch, Ozzie Guillen sought out Zambrano near the batting cage for an embrace and some private words in their native tongue. The body language made the message easy to interpret.
There would be no real losers, no matter what the box score might say. Not to Guillen and Zambrano, whose country ties bind them tight enough that no intracity rivalry can divide them.
"Ozzie and I are friends, but they have to do their job and I have to do my job," a disappointed Zambrano said after he threw seven innings of one-hit ball. "It's important we're both from Venezuela but you still want to make him lose."
Leaning on the Sox dugout before the game, Guillen Jr. used the word family in explaining the line between camaraderie and competition walked by his countrymen in the majors.
"In the off-season, my dad has these great dinner parties and a lot of the Venezuelan players come over: Bobby Abreu, Freddy [Garcia], [Ugueth] Urbina," Guillen Jr. said. "These guys started playing when my dad was still playing. So he's close with a lot of the Venezuelan guys in the majors, and that includes Carlos."
Ties that bind
Wearing a black White Sox warm-up jersey, Guillen Jr. displayed a yellow bracelet wrapped around his wrist to make his point. The rubber bangle depicted the Venezuelan flag, complete with seven stars representing the provinces that supported the country's independence in 1830.
It was the same bracelet Zambrano had on after the game at his postgame news conference.
"We want him to win every startexcept against us," Guillen Jr. said. "We support him like we do all the players from Venezuela over here."
That support may have waned recently for former Sox star Magglio Ordonez after a public war of words, but that's another story. This one explores the Chicago branch of the fraternity of 66 Venezuelan players who saw action in the major leagues last season.
So close are some major-leaguers from the South American nation that it was Ibis Guillen, Ozzie's wife, who first reached Detroit Tigers reliever Urbina on the phone last fall to inform him his mother had been kidnapped in Caracas. Urbina also is Ozzie Jr.'s godfather, but not the true godfather of Venezuelan baseball.
That would be former White Sox shortstop Chico Carrasquel, the third Venezuelan to play in the major leagues back in 1949, who still lives in Caracas. Failing health requires the 77-year-old Carrasquel to receive dialysis treatments three days a week, but his shadow still looms large over the players who followed the path he blazed.
"It was an honor to meet him and Luis [Aparicio]," Garcia said of another great Sox shortstop. "They helped open the door."
It can be a doorway out of danger. Horror stories such as the time Aparicio's daughter was shot during a carjacking in 2001 and injured badly enough that she died three years later create the perception of a crime-torn country. Tales such as the kidnapping of Urbina's mother make it seem closer to reality.
But locals love their baseball, so much so that Ordonez once coaxed two would-be carjackers into not robbing him by telling them who he was.
Game unites country
Baseball rules in Venezuela as dominantly as its heavy-handed government, unlike much of the rest of South America. Oil workers from the United States lured to the country in 1920s to drill for lucrative low-grade crude near Lake Maracaibo introduced the sport and eventually it grew into a national pastime.
Here, the game is the same but the culture often leaves transplants such as Zambrano seeking the comforts of home.
During a day off Thursday, for instance, Zambrano visited the Caracas Grill on North Clark Street where manager Maria Guirados says the Cubs pitcher is a regular. Zambrano showed up Thursday for a plate of pabellon (shredded beef, beans and rice) and glass of papelon (sugar cane lemonade).
"When he's here, he's just another guy from Venezuela," Guirados said.
The kind popping up in American dugouts more than ever.

Did you ride the ferry to high school?
Life was much different in Jamestown in the mid- 1900s. One example is taking a trip across Narragansett Bay to Newport. Today one simply gets in a car and drives across the bridge. However, before the Newport Pell Bridge was opened in 1969, one had to board the ferry to embark on a journey across the water to Newport.
It was all part of the island life that has slowly disappeared over the years.
Back in those pre-bridge days, Roger's High School in Newport was the island's school of record and the majority of high school students living in Jamestown rode the ferry to and from school.
Those former high school students have many interesting stories to share about their ferry trips. Just read the story on Page 1 of this newspaper for one good example.
The ferries are now long gone and soon, so will be the memories. That's why several Jamestowners have joined together on an oral history project to preserve those stories and recollections. If you rode the ferry to high school in Newport, we would like to talk to you.
We plan to schedule interviews to talk about your experiences on the ferryboats. In order to be contacted for an interview, please call the Jamestown Press office between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 25, or Tuesday, Feb. 26.
If that time is not convenient to call the Press, you can call the following week between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Monday or Tuesday.
We plan to record these interviews so that many years from now future Jamestowners will be able to enjoy this small part of our island's history. We hope all former ferry-riding high school students will want to participate in this worthwhile project.

Ethel Kennedy Delivers Only Taylor Swift-Approved Remarks About Taylor Swift
Another day, another strong endorsement for a whirlwind summer romance culminating in teen marriage from a member of the Kennedy clan.
Earlier this week, the Boston Herald interviewed Kennedy matriarch Ethel Kennedy at the premiere of an HBO documentary about her life (Ethel).
The documentary explores how Ethel's experiences as the young widow of one of the Democratic party's most high-profile politicians helped shape her role as the grandmother of one of the most popular juniors at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts.
Accordingly, the Herald had lots of questions for Ethel about her grandson Conor's girlfriend.
When asked if she thought Conor, 18, and Swift, 22, would marry, Kennedy responded:
"I hope so!"
Back in August, when asked if Swift had purchased the home across the street from her in Hyannisport, Kennedy responded:
"I hope so!"
And if the Boston Herald reporter thought she heard that same refrain of "I hope so!" repeated on a loop while Kennedy's smile remained frozen in place, and if she thought she heard what sounded like the sound of a jammed tape recorder being thrown on the ground, and if she thought she saw a blonde Taylor Swiftian figure darting into the crowd of people behind Ethel Kennedy, and if it seemed to her that, up close, Ethel Kennedy looked much more like a two dimensional cardboard cut-out of Ethel Kennedy than she would have expected, well, she was probably just imagining things.
Earlier this month, Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy were spotted antiquing at a shop "not far from Kennedy's dorm," most likely on the hunt for early 19th century posters of John Belushi in his "College" sweatshirt.

Try as he might, Mario Cuomo, singer for rising garage-rock quintet the Orwells, can't seem to avoid trouble.
His high school years essentially were a string of missed classes and misdeeds, including a lengthy suspension for launching a water bottle at a DJ spinning music in the lunchroom cafeteria during homecoming week. "I thought the whole idea of him being there was goofy ... and I wanted to do something about it," Cuomo said.
Recent months have been equally challenging. In October the singer was arrested along with two family members after police seized marijuana and drug paraphernalia from the Cuomos' Elmhurst home (the 19-year old frontman has since been cleared of the charges). Then, earlier this year, the band created a minor stir with a performance at Iowa's Grinnell College that the student paper dubbed "destructive."
Musically, however, things have been on the upswing for the youthful crew. The band's breakthrough album, the sneering "Remember When," has attracted the attention of local and national tastemakers, and Metallica recently hand-picked the group to perform at its Orion Music + More Festival, taking place in June in Detroit.
Reached in the tour van en route to South by Southwest, Cuomo talked about his run-ins with the law, why he's so afraid of aging and the shock of being chosen to perform by Metallica.
Considering your multiple run-ins with the police [Cuomo also served a two-year probation for his role in a fight], have you given any thought to law school? You could become your own defense attorney.
[Laughs.] Nah. I think I'm going to stick to paying for lawyers.
Since negative press tends to get more play, I was wondering if you've done any good deeds lately.
I think playing shows for people is probably the best thing I do on a day-to-day basis.
You guys actually named "Remember When" for a now-closed record store in Westmont, right?
Yeah. That was our guitarist Matt's go-to spot. I wasn't interested in collecting vinyl at the time, but I recently picked up a record player and started a collection. Having a physical copy where you can see the album artwork is a lot cooler than scrolling through [bleep] on your iPod.
In past interviews, you guys talked about a desire to move to L.A. Is that still the case?
We thought it would be a good idea to live out there for a year to try and get recognized by labels and stuff, but once we started to get recognized here in Chicago it was like, "Well, now we don't really have to leave. We can do this from here."
Do you feel like you're part of a scene here? Is there a sense of kinship with local bands like Smith Westerns?
Hell yeah. Recently they came out to a couple of our shows and invited us to hang with them, which was insane. It was like, "Why did the Smith Westerns come out to see us?" We were confused. It was crazy chilling with them and thinking about how much I listened to their music, and what it's done for me and gotten me through. I try to keep it to myself, but whenever we hang out with them it's still shocking and it still amazes me.
There's a line on "Remember When" where you sing, "We got this fear of aging." Why does getting old frighten you?
Seeing old people, they all seem happy just sitting around and not doing much. It seems like a sad part of life, and I'm not looking forward to it.
What do you consider old?
Probably like 40 is pushing it. That's an old dude.
How did you react when Metallica invited you to play the Orion Music + More Festival?
It was almost comical. I was like, "What the [bleep]? A festival that Metallica is playing?" It's still a shock. Knowing that people who have been so influential in music have actually heard about you and approve of what you're doing is a really big deal. I probably haven't listened to Metallica since middle school, but I still recognize what they've done for music and as musicians.
They're all well over 40. Does that give you any hope that getting old won't be that bad?
Yeah, now that I think about it there are older dudes like that. Especially Iggy Pop. We saw the Stooges in Chicago last year, and when I saw his ass up there doing what he was doing it was like, "If he can do that at his age, I can probably try."
The Orwells, 8 p.m. Saturday, March 23 at Beat Kitchen, $10
Mario Cuomo personality test
Song you've listened to on repeat recently? "'Varisty,' that new single by the Smith Westerns."
Song you never want to hear again? "Probably 'ABC' by the Jackson Five because the way we have our iPod hooked up in the van it goes back to the first song in your music library whenever a song ends, so the beginning of 'ABC' has been played like 500 times in our van on this tour."
Best concert you've seen in the last year? "Probably Waka Flocka at Congress Theater."
New band you don't know personally that deserves to be big? "Deerhunter are known on the indie level, but they deserve to be one of the biggest bands out there."
Favorite movie ever? "Sin City"
Chicago's best music venue? Schubas

Thanks to Dorothea Salo for noting that blog designs may be subject to copyright and hence impedimential to the harvesting and preserving of blogs. In my initial scan of her comment I thought she was invoking copyright issues having to do with the content itself, but on reading more carefully, the issue she raises surprised me. I confess It never occurred to me that TypePad might lay such a claim... duh! How ironic if these templates themselves stood in the way of proper archiving.
Simon Spero's followup comment would, I should think, answer this problem, though I've never cared much for reformating of content. As things stand now, many blogs are syndicated into so-called Planet Blogs, aggregations of the feeds of various blogs on a given topic or area, and reformatted in just this way. This entry, for example, appears in the Planet Code4Lib aggregator. Irony once again rearing its winsome head, I learned this by accident through perusing my referrer stats some time ago. No one ever asked if I wanted my content aggregated in this way (I do, I do!), and it does make it more difficult to know who is reading (readers leave evidence in my stats only if they click on the entry in Planet Code4Lib and actually get to my site itself... probably not the most likely thing).
Putting aside this anomaly, the content copyright issue is important, as otherwise only blogs whose authors will have specifically requested archival service would be captured unencumbered. A huge part of the blogosphere will remain in an ambiguous state -- without explicit permission having been granted for preservation and redistribution.
If you look carefully at this image you will see a yoda-like visage in the left part of this picture of a recent attempt to ward off the Ohio midwinter blues. Or maybe Elmer Fudd. We ain't talking the blessed virgin here, but hey... a vision is a vision.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Monday he "definitely" thinks Republicans are correct in removing Rep. Bill Kramer as majority leader of the state Assembly amid allegations that he groped a woman after a Washington fundraiser last week and verbally abused another on the flight home.
Walker's strong stance is another blow to Kramer as he faces losing his leadership position Tuesday and is under growing pressure to resign the seat he's held since 2007.
"I definitely think the Assembly is right in asking him to step down from his position as a part of their leadership team," Walker said when asked about the situation while in Green Bay.
Walker said he didn't know any details of the case beyond what he's seen in media reports.
"If it's true, I don't think there's any place for someone in a position of public trust to be in office if they've done those things," Walker said.
Kramer, who was elected to the second-most powerful position in the Assembly in September, hasn't commented on the allegations, which surfaced Friday. On Saturday, his staff said Kramer had checked himself into a treatment facility for an unspecified reason.
On Tuesday, Republicans plan to vote on removing Kramer as majority leader and discuss privately whether to fill the position or leave it vacant for the remainder of the year, Assembly caucus chairwoman Rep. Joan Ballweg said.
Kramer's chief of staff, Cameron Sholty, said Monday that Kramer won't attend Tuesday's vote because he's receiving treatment, and again declined to comment about the allegations.
Ballweg, a high-ranking Republican from Markesan, also said Monday she supports removing Kramer from his leadership post.
"Personally, I feel it is wholly inappropriate to have unwanted touching, which is part of the allegations," Ballweg said.
Republicans with direct knowledge of the situation said one of the women involved was a legislative staff member and the other was a lobbyist. The Republicans spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized by their attorneys to comment publicly about the alleged victims.
Neither the lobbyist nor the staffer in question responded to requests for comment left Monday by The Associated Press.
The vote on Kramer's position is being taken because it's "vitally important" to have someone in that role given that it's the majority leader's job to keep track of where bills stand in the busy final days of the session, said Republican Rep. Dean Kaufert, of Neenah.
"It's a very hectic time for the Legislature, very stressful," Kaufert said Monday. "And it's easy to lose track of a bill or two."
Many high-profile proposals remain for the Legislature to address, including bills that would give lawmakers the power to write academic standards, impose sanctions on failing public and private schools that take voucher students and limit local control on sand mine operations.
But the question over what to do about the majority leader position goes beyond the end of the legislation session. That person also typically plays an important role in helping Republican candidates during an election year by raising money, campaigning and helping with other behind the scenes logistics, Kaufert said.
Republicans currently hold a 60-39 majority in the Assembly. All 99 seats, including Kramer's, are up for election this fall.
Kramer was elected as majority leader to take over for Scott Suder, who left the position early to take a job with Walker's administration.
Kramer is known for his sometimes flamboyant and confrontational style. He has admitted to carrying a concealed handgun on the floor of the Assembly to protect himself and in his previous position presiding over the Assembly was a stickler for the rules, especially those covering spectators in the galleries.
When he was elected majority leader, Rep. Chris Kapenga warned that Kramer had acted inappropriately in the past.
"He was aware that we felt he would be our representative and we expected him to portray himself in a manner that would not embarrass the caucus," Ballweg said Monday, in explaining the effort to remove him as majority leader.
Kramer defeated Rep. Dean Knudson, of Hudson, for the majority leader position.
Knudson issued a statement saying he was not interested in the position and would not run for it now or next year if he wins re-election.

Hawks outscore Coyotes 6-4by Jerry Brown / NHL.com
GLENDALE, Ariz. – If the NHL season had started in October, it would have started without Marian Hossa.
Almost seven months after a serious concussion suffered in a hit from Phoenix's Raffi Torres in the Western Conference Quarterfinals last April, Chicago's high-scoring winger was just getting on the ice. And when he finally was cleared in mid-November, it was a slow transition to the speed of the game.
Two months later, hockey is back and so is Hossa – and he's proving it. He followed up a two-goal game in Los Angeles with two more goals Sunday; both came during a flurry of four straight Chicago goals in a 6-4 revenge win against the Phoenix team that ended their 2011-12 season earlier than expected.
Torres came out with his Phoenix teammates for the unveiling of the first division title banner in franchise history, but he still had seven games left on his suspension for his illegal hit on Hossa in Game 4 of the playoff series. But Hossa is back and made his presence felt on the scoresheet, scoring what proved to be the game-winner 14 seconds into the third period.
"I felt good off the ice biking and doing the strength. But when I got on the ice it was a little different," he said. "The brain had to adjust to so many movements, so many players, such a fast pace … when I was doing it I didn't feel myself. I'm glad I had time to be prepared. By [January], my head was clear and I wasn't afraid to go into the corners."
Dave Bolland added two goals and an assist and Patrick Sharp and Viktor Stalberg added one each during a four-goal outburst over a 10:24 span of the second and third periods as Chicago built a 5-2 lead and then held on. The Blackhawks have put up 11 goals in road wins over the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings and Pacific Division champion Coyotes to start the season – four by Hossa.
"He's has been great and he's playing the same Hossa game he's always played. He's one of the best players in the League," Bolland said. "Going back to what happened last year, this was a special night for him, to come back and put some goals up."
While Chicago is off to a 2-0-0 start while beginning a season-opening stretch in which it plays 10 of its first 12 games on the road, the Coyotes are quickly 0-2-0 in this shortened season, with goalie Mike Smith and their vaunted defense allowing 10 goals. Phoenix captain Shane Doan scored in his 1,200th NHL game and Dave Moss, Antoine Vermette and Martin Hanzal added goals against shaky Chicago backup goalie Ray Emery, but two early one-goal Coyote leads were swallowed up quickly by the Blackhawks.
"It's great to score goals, but when you're giving up six goals, or four goals [in a 4-3 loss at Dallas Saturday] it will not bring success to this group," Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said. "Giving up breakaways and making mistakes like that … that's not how we're gonna play and that's not how we're gonna win."
The Coyotes led 1-0 and 2-1 thanks to goals by Moss and Vermette – one a soft goal Emery would have liked back and another on a rebound coughed up in the slot. But Phoenix couldn't keep the momentum going for long either time as errors, turnovers and poor decisions played right into Chicago's hands.
After getting only two shots in the first 10 minutes of the period, Chicago responded with an artful goal to begin its flurry. On the rush, Bolland slipped a short pass to Sharp in stride, and Sharp picked the far top corner over Smith's blocker at 9:50. Hossa gave Chicago its first lead at 17:34 with a wrister from the slot, and Stalberg found the short side 50 seconds later to make it 4-2.
Smith made 23 saves but put the blame for the loss on his shoulders. "We had unacceptable goaltending in both games and there's no excuse for it," he said. "I'm letting down the whole team and if you score seven goals in two games you should win both of them. We need to clean up our game in some areas but it starts with me and I haven't been good enough. Goals are going in from all over the ice. It's deflating to the team and it's got to stop."
Hossa's second goal -- a backhander that squeezed between Smith and the post -- came just 14 seconds into the third period and gave the Hawks a three-goal lead. The Coyotes rallied with goals by Hanzal and Doan 50 seconds apart to cut the lead to one goal with 14:32 left, but Bollard popped a pretty Sharp feed up and over Smith just 22 seconds after Doan's goal to restore breathing room.
The Hawks played without left wing Daniel Carcillo, who missed the second half of last season due to left knee surgery and is expected to miss a month with after injuring his right knee in the third period of Saturday's game.

Interesting developments are rumored but largely go unverified this week concerning town board matters with few persons wishing to be quoted. It appears that some town board members met last Friday but the Star was informed it was an informal meeting and no minutes were taken.

text: With a month long holiday in India coming up, I knew I had to get some stand-out holiday wear. I thought about the different eras of recreational wear and began racking the (fashion) history books for inspiration- jumpsuits, capri pants, high-waisted slacks, kaftans, tunics, dungarees…the list goes on. But then, as with all moments of fashion genius, America's Next Top Model came on the telly and I was reminded of the genius that is Jeremy Scott.

Subsidies and the Egyptian economy
The new Egyptian government is living up to its promises to make difficult decisions necessary to revive the nearly moribund economy, including a promise to cut subsidies that eat up nearly a quarter of the government budget.
Starting July 5, the official price of fuel rose by up to 78 percent. The price increases, which went into effect at midnight Friday, followed a hike in electricity prices.
The main reason for these moves is to reduce the budget deficit, which has reached a very dangerous level. These measures may help save the government around $6 billion, or about 5 percent of the annual budget.
According to the official announcement, the price for 80-octane gasoline, used for old cars, rose by 78 percent, to 22 cents a liter, while for the 92-octane gasoline, the price would rise by 40 percent, to 37 cents a liter. The price of diesel fuel rose 64 percent, to 25 cents a liter.
While the hike in fuel prices may seem high in percentage terms, the new fuel prices remain very low in magnitude compared with other countries. The global average price of a liter of gasoline is about $1.36, or about five times as high as the new average price of gasoline in Egypt, thus indicating that even the new energy prices include a level of implicit economic "subsidy."
Previous Egyptian governments faced the dilemma of fuel subsidies but were unable to take action, leading to steady deterioration in government finances and frequent disagreements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF made financial reform, including fuel subsidies, a priority for Egypt, and a prerequisite for IMF loans and an IMF clean bill of financial health for Egypt.
Energy subsidies, direct or implicit, are an international challenge, but most widespread in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In oil exporting countries, energy is sold locally at a price lower than the international price, but there is no "subsidy" per se, but the difference between the two prices acts economically as a subsidy. About one half of total energy subsidies in the MENA region are accounted for by petroleum products, while the remainder represents subsidies on electricity and natural gas.
About half of global energy subsidies are believed to be in the MENA region. While these subsidies provide some support to poor consumers, their benefits go mainly to the rich. They also sap government finances at the expense of much-needed investment in health care, education and infrastructure. Furthermore, they lead to waste, damage to the environment and frustrate efforts at conservation.
For these reasons, subsidy reform can have significant payoffs in terms of higher growth and greater equity. However, reform is complex technically and tough politically, especially the latter.
Energy subsidies appeal to bureaucrats because they are relatively easy to administer, compared to more targeted, social safety net measures, such as cash transfer schemes and direct income support. They benefit households directly through lower prices for energy used for cooking, heating, lighting and personal transport, but also indirectly by reducing production costs for other goods and services that use energy as an input.
However, this comes at an incredibly high cost. For the MENA region as a whole, energy "subsidies" cost about $250 billion, when measured as the difference between the value of consumption at domestic and global prices. This amount is equivalent to 8 percent of GDP, or 20 percent of government revenues. Other subsidies pale in comparison; for example food subsidies are estimated at about $20 billion across the region.
In addition, subsidies create serious distortions, which is important even in countries that are large energy producers and are therefore less concerned about the budgetary and balance of payments implications of energy subsidies. For one thing, energy subsidies accentuate income inequality, contrary to their intended consequences. They mostly benefit upper income groups. For instance, in Sudan, it was found that the poorest 20 percent of the population receives only about 3 percent of fuel subsidies, whereas the richest 20 percent captures more than 50 percent. The situation is similar in many other countries across the MENA region.
There are also negative environmental effects from energy subsidies. They encourage waste of energy and discourage investment in energy efficiency, public transport and renewable energies. As such, they frustrate government and private efforts to conserve resources for future generations, protect the environment and reduce pollution and traffic congestion.
However, some have objected to the reduction in energy subsidies in Egypt on equality grounds. As about half of Egypt's 87 million people live below poverty level, on about $2 a day, the effects of the new fuel price hike may be felt sharply by the poor. However, with the new savings the government could design direct cash subsidy to the poor that would make up for the rise in the fuel prices.
Egypt will most likely discover that subsidy reform, far from aggravating poverty, could boost growth, reduce poverty and improve income equality. Reallocating the financial resources made available by subsidy reduction to more productive programs could help boost economic growth. The removal of subsidies, accompanied by a well-designed social safety net and an increase in pro-poor spending, could yield significant improvements in the well being of low-income groups.
As I pointed out at the beginning of this essay, reduction of fuel subsidies in Egypt would directly lower budget deficit by about 5 percent. The improved financial picture would reduce the cost of borrowing and stimulate private-sector investment.
As we have seen in other countries that have adopted similar reforms, reducing fuel subsidies could increase incentives to invest in energy-saving technologies. The public health payoff would also be significant, by reducing pollution and traffic congestion.
Other countries in the region, especially financially-strapped countries such as Yemen and Sudan, may soon follow Egypt's example.

At its sitting in June 2015 Tynwald resolved:
The Isle of Man Government asked Lord Lisvane KCB DL to undertake the Review and to report to Tynwald for its sitting on 19 July 2016.
Lord Lisvane (formerly Sir Robert Rogers KCB) was the Clerk of the House of Commons from 2011 to 2014. His career at the House of Commons included involvement in every aspect of the House's business and administration. As Clerk of the House he was its principal constitutional adviser, and as Chief Executive he was head of the House Service (of some 2,000 people), and Corporate Officer and Accounting Officer. In the course of his career he visited some 50 parliaments world-wide. He is the joint author (with Dr Rhodri Walters) of the standard textbook How Parliament Works, now in its 7th edition.
In 2014 he became a Cross-Bench (independent) Life Peer, and specialises in constitutional and legal issues. He is a member of the Lords Select Committee on Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform, and of the Ecclesiastical Committee.
Michelle Norman, a Manx advocate in the Attorney General's Chambers, was appointed as the Secretary to the Review.
In conducting the Review, Lord Lisvane was asked to:
The proceedings of the Review were held in public, as required by section 4 of the Inquiries (Evidence) Act 2003, at the Legislative Council Chamber, Legislative Buildings, Finch Road, Douglas during the weeks beginning Monday 16 and Tuesday 30 May 2016.
The sittings were live streamed via the
Angara ClawSet Morganite Dangle Earrings with Diamond Heart Motif dBNAh53Mc
and were recorded by the Tynwald Hansard team. The transcript prepared by that team of the oral evidence is one of the documents which can be downloaded from the list of downloadable documents on the right hand side of this page. The selection of witnesses to give oral evidence was at Lord Lisvane's discretion, but written submissions were invited from the general public. The written evidence received is available for downloading as in the list.
Following the conclusion of the sittings, Lord Lisvane prepared his report, which has now been published as GD 2016/0047 and is included in the list of downloadable documents.
The Report was presented to Tynwald on the 20 July 2016, at which time Tynwald received the Review of the Functioning of Tynwald [GD No 2016/0047]; noted the recommendations contained therein; and resolved that the recommendations be submitted to Tynwald for debate and decision in April 2017 (see item 11 on the
Angara PressureSet Cluster Halo Diamond Cushion Dangle Earrings zOHpji1
and Tynwald Hansard 20 July 2016 ).
[For ease of reference: the recommendations are set out in the Explanatory Memorandum to Tynwald Members .]
The Tynwald debate was deferred via a Ministerial Statement by the Minister for Policy and Reform at the March 2017 sitting of Tynwald, to the June 2017 sitting.
The Hansard of the debate and decision during the Tynwald sitting in June 2017 is available to view - Tynwald Hansard June 2017 Item 5 .

As they marchdown their tank-tastic road to the Promised Land, the Philadelphia 76ers continue to push the limits of futility. On Friday, behind 50 points from James Harden, the Houston Rockets handed them their 17th-consecutive loss to open the season.
While they haven't quite reached the sad depths of the '09-10 New Jersey Nets, which began that season 0-18, they did achieve a more dubious distinction with the loss.

Going back to last season, the Sixers have lost 27-straight games, breaking their own record for the worst losing streak in North American professional sports history set in 2013-14. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeteda little perspective on the unfortunate streak:
Including the 116-114 loss to the Rockets, Philly has played in number of competitive games, so it's only a matter of time before they're able to turn things around.
However, with General Manager Sam Hinkie dead-set on building a contender through high draft picks, don't expect the Sixers to begin a streak of wins anytime soon.

Estimating the Value of Changes in OASI Benefits Under Social Security Reforms
June 2006, Vol. 27, No. 6
Paperback, 12 pp.
PDF, 1,426 kb
Employee Benefit Research Institute, 2006
Executive Summary
• This article builds upon a previous EBRI Notes study (April 2006) by determining the change in the distribution of the benefit levels beneficiaries would receive under various Social Security reform proposals. Some of these reforms would not achieve zero actuarial balance. This analysis also calculates for various age cohorts the amount of savings that would need to be accumulated in order to purchase a payout annuity (an insurance product that provides regular stream of income for life) that would compensate for the decrease in benefits from these alternatives, relative to current-law benefits.
• The Social Security reform options examined would cut benefits, more so for the young—Because various Social Security reform alternatives would phase in benefit reductions, the cuts for younger cohorts of workers would be larger than the cuts that middle-age or older workers would experience. For example, the benefit cuts for the 1962 cohort would range from a $300 decrease in annual benefits for beneficiaries with the smallest benefits to about $3,000 for those with the highest benefits. These annual reductions would grow steadily across age cohorts, reaching $2,200 to $10,370 for the 1997 birth cohort and from $3,790 to $18,360 for the 2022 birth cohort.
• Future wage growth helps—As mentioned in the earlier companion analysis to this study, the projected real growth in wages has the effect of providing higher real Social Security benefit levels for the younger cohorts, even with benefit reductions. However, various studies have shown that, even with current-law benefits, many future retirees will not have enough resources to maintain the same level of standard of living throughout retirement.
• Additional savings needed—Many Americans would need to save additional amounts just to make up for the reductions in current-law Social Security benefits (for some of these reforms, more changes would be needed to balance the costs and revenues of program), and even then their level of resources will still be inadequate to maintain the same standard of living throughout retirement. These findings suggest that reform options that reduce the benefit levels of Social Security will have a major impact on many retirees, especially the lowest-income beneficiaries who depend on the program the most.

Taking a moment with Zev – Courtesy Marissa Jaret Winokur
We're thrilled to welcome Marissa Jaret Winokur back to our celebrity blogging family!
As you may recall, the Tony-winning actress, 39, beat cervical cancer 11 years ago, underwent a hysterectomy and later welcomed a baby boy with the help of a surrogate.
Her son, Zev Isaac, is now 3½ and Winokur is back on the small screen, starring on TV Land's Retired at 35, premiering Tuesday at 10 p.m.
She can be found on Facebook and on Twitter @MarissaJWinokur.
For her first blog back, Winokur writes about what happened when she and husband Judah Miller took Zev camping … er, glamping!
First of all, I am very excited to be blogging for PEOPLE.com again! Last time I did it, my son Zev was 2 years old and now he is about to turn 4 next month.
I remember all the wonderful comments and some of the not-so-wonderful ones, too. Both, however, are okay. I believe there are many different ways to raise a child, and I never claim to be the best mom. I'm just doing the best I can. Some days better than others. 😉
I wanted to come up with a fun blog to maybe spark some ideas of things to do over summer vacation. Imagine my friends' surprise when I Tweeted in May saying that I was going camping! I read comments like, "Wait … camping? Seriously? Where is the girl I know and love … she wouldn't camp." And "Why aren't you GLAMPING???"
Glamping? GLAMPING! (A combination of "glamorous" and "camping.") I had never heard of that!
My husband grew up going to Skylake Yosemite Camp and they were having a family weekend. I knew we had a "lean-to" or something that wasn't exactly a tent to stay in. How hard could it be?
Zev is almost 4 and he loves being outside. "LET'S HAVE AN ADVENTURE!," I thought. That's the phrase I usually regret. It's like I know it's gonna suck so I call it an "ADVENTURE" to make it sound less sucky.
We pull in at 5 p.m. with the sun still out so we can see where we are setting up camp, but it is uncommonly cold! It was 48 degrees out — and mind you, I live in L.A. and feel cold on a 65-degree day. So we all put on our jackets and start unloading the car to our cabin — our cabin with no real walls, just mesh to keep the bugs out, but not the freezing wind!
Now when you go camping, you should always bring a sleeping bag, right? Well, I bought Zev a Buzz Lightyear sleeping bag that's more for pretend sleepovers at home. For me and Judah, I brought the blankets off our bed and an air mattress!
Holding this caterpillar was a big deal – Courtesy Marissa Jaret Winokur
At bedtime it was 38 degrees. I was so cold I huddled with my son and husband in the pitch dark and freezing cold. I woke up at 1 a.m. and totally freaked out. You would think I would save my child from the cold as well, but he and my husband had all the blankets and were fast asleep.
EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF! I ran to the car and turned both the heat and the seat heaters on! I left the car running for about an hour and a half and then finally turned it off and slept in the front seat! I Tweeted at 2 a.m.: "Camping in yosemite, didn't bring sleeping bags! I'm in car now with heat and seat heaters. I was the first voted off!"
At 5 a.m., my sweet little boy and my husband — whom I hated for taking me camping to die — knocked on the window. They got in the car and we drove until we found a cheap motel.
We did return to the campground for the wonderful activities, but at night we told Zev that "EVERYONE was staying in the same motel with us because it's insane to sleep outside in the cold — only bears can do that — and everyone will return in time for breakfast!"
The great thing that happened during this trip was that I met the boy Zev's teacher talks about. I don't know about you, but my son's teachers always say things about him and I'm like, "Sorry, are you sure you're talking about Zev? Because that doesn't sound like my boy."
I never really believed or understood what the teachers meant, but during the weekend of "glamping," I saw what they were talking about. He was game for everything. He wanted to have a true ADVENTURE.
The adventure Zev wanted included hiking and kayaking — and most of all, to be left alone with the big kids! It was so amazing. He really jumped into whatever the camp was doing. The boy who hates bugs and was scared of worms even held a caterpillar. He was so loving, he would just grab my face and kiss me because I think he was just so happy!
Zev had such a wonderful time that we arranged to go back in August. I am sure it will be 110 degrees in the shade and I'll sleep in the car using the air-conditioning. Or maybe I'll reserve a room at the same motel. After all, taking a shower after a long day of tie-dying and horseback riding really does make it more of a fun adventure!
Where else can I charge my phone and Tweet from and blow-dry my hair and sleep on a mattress and … OKAY YES, YOU HAD ME AT SHOWER!

Loss of the single-source revenue provider Brayton Point Power Plant is pointing Somerset in the direction other communities have confronted with similar economic collapse and challenge. Or is it?
Loss of the single-source revenue provider Brayton Point Power Plant is pointing Somerset in the direction other communities have confronted with similar economic collapse and challenge. Or is it?
Detroit, Milwaukee, New York City, Oakland, Chicago, Seattle, Kansas City, St. Louis, St. Paul, Oklahoma City, the list goes on and spreads across oceans. But these American cities, remembering their agrarian roots and honoring their manufacturing and industrial heritage, are joining a global movement in urban agriculture. Ordinances have passed; production has begun. Their reinvention, multifaceted no doubt, is underway.
Somerset and other SouthCoast communities, especially those near the urban areas of Taunton, New Bedford and Fall River, including the cities themselves, could be ripe for this out-of-the-box approach to revitalization. Not a means to an end, but urban agriculture could be a spoke in the wheel that moves the economic bus forward.
In Somerset's case, they have much bigger fish to fry. Shutting down Brayton will have to be met with proportionate gain in opportunity somehow. Not out of the question, especially if the town foresees, as its selectman Chair mentioned in November, a "grand plan" with Fall River to remake itself into a "Gateway to Cape Cod."
Casinos were his idea. Instead of gambling, how about inviting development of the largest, coolest, indoor, year-round, amusement/entertainment/water-park/winter-sports complex? Or something that rivals Minnesota's Mall of America?
Let's imagine for a moment, this new "Gateway to Cape Cod." Such a title could mandate high-end, modern, cutting edge industry and entertainment that speaks to the Cape's world renowned esteem for ecology and atmosphere of escape.
Imagine a "Gateway" to it, punctuating a "green" revitalization effort of the SouthCoast and exclaiming the greatest getaway this side of the bridge. It could be attractive. Urban agriculture could even be incorporated into the development of such a complex providing food to vendors, education to the public, and interactive park-like outdoor space.
The cities and towns of the SouthCoast, most prominently Somerset now, could join the cities mentioned above in providing direction by example to others on how to reinvent themselves, in part via successful efforts in achieving profitability through sustainability; and, in doing so helping set forth a precedent of growth and enjoyment through adjustment.
The big question is how do we power it all if Brayton Point is gone?

Reds reserve outfielders capitalizing on extra time

MIAMI -- Injuries have created opportunities in the Reds' outfield this season.
Manager Dusty Baker has been plugging a hole in left field since Ryan Ludwick tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding headfirst into third base during Cincinnati's season opener.View Full Game Coverage
Veteran Chris Heisey was the first player tabbed to fill in for the injured Ludwick, and he played 20 games in left field before going on the disabled list with a right hamstring injury.
Heisey's injury gave five-year veteran Xavier Paul and rookies Derrick Robinson and Donald Lutz a chance to play more often, and the trio has responded with solid results.
Paul, Robinson and Lutz have combined to bat .276 over 72 at-bats on the year, helping the Reds stay competitive in the NL Central. Each player brings something different to Cincinnati's arsenal, and Paul feels the three complement each other well.
"D is a very versatile player," Paul said of Robinson. "He brings more speed to the outfield than anybody else we have, and plays really good defense. I've been swinging the bat pretty well as of late, and now we have Lutzy who can swing the bat and run. He's a pretty good player. I think the three of us will do a pretty good job of filling the hole we are missing with Luddy and Heis out."
On Tuesday night, Paul stepped up in a big way with two outs in the second inning. The 28-year-old hit a three-run double off Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco that put the Reds ahead by five runs in an eventual 6-2 Cincinnati victory.
"I just tried to take all the pressure off myself," Paul said. "The pressure was on Nolasco, because he had just walked in two runs. Then he went 2-0 with me and I knew he didn't want to walk in a third. He would rather see me put the ball in play and drive the runs in than walk in another one. I knew that when I was hitting, and we went 3-1 and I was looking for a ball I could drive and was fortunate to do it."
Paul, who is batting .270 with a pair of homers and 13 RBIs in 30 games this season, feels more comfortable at the plate now that he is playing more regularly. That is good news for Baker and the Reds after Heisey re-aggravated his hamstring injury during his rehab assignment on Monday night.
"I feel pretty good right now with my rhythm and my timing," Paul said. "It's been a little bit easier to keep good rhythm and good timing by playing more often. It's not always easy to come off the bench and pinch-hit. Sometimes you will have pinch-hit at-bats where the swing doesn't feel good and it feels like the pitcher is throwing 100 mph. But when you play more regularly, you get in a groove and everything starts to feel better at the plate. That's where I am right now."

For ouglit I know, Mr. Hoover may lie' re-elected, despite tlie depression. I 1 do not feci ahrnit Mr. Hoovci^in tile way of tliat l-foover-Mct- lon story, tliey arc telling. Just A Story It seems according to this story that Hoover and Mellon were walking down Pennsylvania Avenue ivhen the President siiddcidy stopped in front of a drug store, "Leiid nie a nickel," said Hoover to Mellon. "What do yon want' a nickel for?" asked Mellon. , "I want to call up one of my friends," said Hoover. "Here's a dime." replied Mellon, "call 11]) both of 'em." Some Possibilities .'\.s T was saying, I don't feel that the President is anywhere near as bereft of friends, as thi.s story woidd Ijave it, and I aiTi quite sure that the public after all realizes that the depression is world-wide, and I don't know whether Hoover or the Dctiiocratic nominee will get the bulk of Jewish voters at the forthcoming vot- iii'^ test. But if the Democrats do get in, which Jews are likely to get political plums? Here, I am frying to add to the "ovcr- I)rediction" again—hut what can you i]o'' You know how it is. I have a feeling that perhaps the best prize, in the case of Democratic victory, would come to Judge Cardozo, Chief Justice of the Ncvv York Court of Ap¬ peals. In the event of k vacancy op the -Siipreinc Court,, I suppose, no Dcmircratic president would fail to give Cardozo the Iirefercnce for any Supreme Court iiosi- tion. It is generally admitted that there is no better jurist in the country than " Cardozo, and his p<ilitical associations arc Democratic. And Some Others Bernard Baruch would be another, to come back into prominence, Particnlarh if Ritchie of Maryland should hapiicn to he the nominee and vict.ir. You recall , that it was at a dinner given by Baruch recently that the Ritchie' Presidential boom vas forra,-,lly hiiiiidicd. Should Newton D. Baker, of Cleve- • land, be the nominee. I suppose the most Iironiinent Jewish friend of the adminis¬ tration would he a rabbi. Abba Hillel Silver'of Cleveland. I am told that Baker entertains a very high opinion of Rabbi Silver. Well, we seem to. be go¬ ing b.ick to the silver standard anyway. If Roojievelt is the nominee and victor, the Lehman brothers and, I presume, Robert Moses, the chairman of the Park Comniissioij of New York would be among those closest to the president; Santa In New York I am told that since the slump set in, some of the Jewish synagogues have found it unnecessary to employ "miiiyau" men. With niieniployment rife, the idle naturally drift to the .s'ynaKOgue_to 'daven" and talk. But times must be even harder than 1 susijectcd, if a story that comes to my cars is true. The central figure of the story is Santa Claus. One of those store Santa Clauses whose job it is to stand near a Christmas . tree, and listen to children tell him what they want for Christmas. And this particular Santa of whom I am Writing looked the part to perfection. His generous bulk, his jovial face, his iwtriarchal heard needed but little arti¬ ficial trimmings, to visualize the Yule- tide saint. And .so he stood—-listening and chatting with the children. ¦ A little girl came up, "You want," spoke up Santv,"a walk- . ing doll and a box of candy?" "Yes," smiled the little girl, . "and a baby brother." "A baby brother. I am all • out of brothers. All I have is a little colored boy, hut he's damaged. If you want, I can give you a pony instead." "Yes, give me a pony instead," said the little girl. - "All right," .said Santy! "Now listen, little girl, do me a little' favor. Here's three cents, go around by the corner and get nie a Morgcn Journal." Test For Humor A professor up at Columbia has been studying reactions to humor. It seems his favorite test is to tell the following story and see how you laugh. One iierson meets another. "How are you?" asks No, I, •First class," replies No. ti. "And how are you?" ^ "Steerage," is the reply. * I might suggest as an improvement to the test the method, said to be used hy Ben Bcrnie in buying humorous material. Ben reads all of this hiuuorous ma¬ terial first to his brother, Dave. If Dave , huighs, Ben doesn't buy it.

This is the most iniique one man show.. UiHt has ever been in this city and a rare apportunity for Columbus, citizens to see and hear the fot-nicr leading man of Czar's imperial Theater at Moscow. Tliis great actor, is assisted by superb cosluining. premier make up, brilliant acting and a teautiful haritone voice thi-ough which mediums he impersonates the Jester, Italian Nobleman, Gipsy, Ukraiiian Peasant and Old Jewish Patri¬ arch. One of tlie greateist effect.^ achieved by Chenkin is with his fascinating hands, which Eddie Cantor says are the' most wonderful on the international stage. If it were possible to black out tlie entire stage, training lights only on these mar¬ velous hands, the series of characters would still move across the stage, young- rneii, old men, gaj' men and weary men, scholars and peasants. Chenkin was boni at Rostov on the Don, for they say'it was there at the age of l:t that be had bis own theater and knew that he would be an actor. Every action of his daily life was guided hy that one ambition; every thought was directed toward its accoinplisbment. As soon as. be was old enough to walk on the stage and read lines he played his first role, in amateur productions at first, to be sure, but always with a professional future in view. ,A11 the way through the Bcbouls of Rostov and through the Con¬ servatory of Music there, he prepared for the work that was to follow. Shortly after, he made his professional debut in Yekaterinburg. So great was his'success that a company in Moscoiy sl'nt for him. Then came Petrograd and the Imperial Tlieater; rales with Maria Savina and other stars of the Russian theater, and a series of outstanding roles of his own, Cyrano, Shylock, Tartuff, Napoleon in "Madame Sans Gene," Os¬ wald in "Ghosts," the lead in Schiller's "Robbers," a liaujitmann repertory. He toured Roumaniu, Poland, Latvia, Ukra- nia, Czechoslovakia and other countries of Central EuJ-ope and Paris and London. Then followed liis first American tour in VJ2S-2'.> and the repetitions the two succeeding stasons. Mis.'i Helen Smith, 78(1 Franklin Ave., is chairman of the local groui) sponsor¬ ing the sale, thus aiding their national projects and the 'I'ubercukjsis Preven¬ torium. \VARSAW-^(J. T. A.)—The Chief of Police of the Vihia district, Yisjiara, who allegedly had been dismissed as a penalty for permitting the Vilna police to participate ni the anti-Jewish outbreaks, has been promoted to bead the palice de¬ partment in the Posen district, it was re¬ ported today. Simultaneously with this annotnicenient came the report that a Jewish worker, Dworkiu. was sentenced yesterday by the Vilna court to eighteen months' imprison¬ ment on the alleged charge of having beaten a soldier and a Christian woman; neither of wliom appeared in court and whose names even arc unknown. These two developments have aroused the greatest iiwlignation in Jewi.sh circles where the conviction of Dworkiu and the pruniption of Ylszara arc termed an un¬ precedented miscarriage of justice. It is pointed out here that no Chris¬ tians liave yet been placed on trial for their ]>art in their Vilna excesses and no¬ where have prison sentences been |)aRScd upon iiou-Jcwi.';!i participants in the ex¬ cesses throughout the country. The improbability and the flimsiiiess of the charges against Dworkin , were stressed by.his attorney in an hour's ad¬ dress, in which he described the embit¬ tered anti-Semitic atmosphere in \'ihia on tbe first day of the excesses there, Novendjer H.lth. New Outbreahe Possible New outbreaks against the Jews may occur at any moment, it-is stated itKlay in an interpellation submitted in the Sejm by the Club of Jewish Deputies, urging the government to take measures to pre¬ vent their recurrence. The interpellation points out that many local authorities permitted the anti- Jcwisli excesses to continue until tliey received orders from the central authori¬ ties ij] Warsaw. This, the Jewish dep¬ uties assert, proves that not all- local authorities recognize the ihadniissability of anti-Jewish outiireaks. ¦ , ¦ now than at any time previously, the in¬ terpellation continues, in view of the fact that the atmosphere createrl hy tbe out¬ breaks c<iiilinues to be fed and main¬ tained hy tbe anti-Jewish boycott agitA- tion of tbe National Democratic ele¬ ments, rendering new outbreaks jHissihle ut any moment, , 'I'iie interpellation urges the >,'overn- nient to issue instrnctious to the local aulburities that e-xecsses against the Jews are not t'l be permitted iin<le'r any cir- cvunstaiKis, even in the absence of gov eminent orders. It further emphasizes that action must be taken to restrain the press whicii is conducting tbe incitement against tbe Jews. , Numerous Clausus Bill Introduced A formal motiun for the estalilishihent of a Humerus clausus in Polish Univer¬ sities in nrder to give Christian students a percentage in accordance with their mniiber as established by the census no\y in iirogress was introduced in the Sejm today by the National Democrats. T!ie ad6pti<in of such a bill by the Polish I'arliament is considered unlikely inasmuch as the National Democrats do not control a maj<jrify. It is believed here, linivever, that ^tbe bill will ."lerve as a pretext lor new and increased' anti- Semitic agitation on the i>art of the Na¬ tional fJeniocratic youth. The new census, it is further believed, will reduce the ofiicial count of J^ws resilient in Poland, iiiasinucb as tlie ques- tinn of "nationality" was omitted from the census questionnaire. This matter I lia? been the subject of' nnich protest from Jewish leaders. Says Poland Garden of Eden Com¬ pared With U. S. PtjJand is a (ianlen of (Zdcw to the Jewb compared with America, states the anti-Semitic "(iazeta Wars^awska," in¬ viting American Jews to confine their in¬ terest to Ainerican anti-Semitism rather than to Prjiisb affairs.

A.)—Etuil Ludwig. noted German biographer, twlay made it clear that he considers himself a"Jew, in a letter written to Rsriel Carlsbach, one of the editors of the '"Israelitischen Fa- milieiihlaltes." Dr. Ludwig stated that in 1918 he re¬ nounced the Christian faith to which he had been converted at the age of three. "1 regard myself as a Jew and will Al¬ ways regard myself as a Jew, notwith¬ standing tbe fact that I do not belong to any Jewish conununily," he wrote. He emphasized that he renounced Christi¬ anity because in times of jiersecutlon he believes in allying himself wiib the race from which he is descended. Dr. Ludwig's statement sets at rest the controversy in German circles recently concerning his present atfiliation, which nrovoked an inquiry frjJin the editor of the "Israelitischen Paiiiilienblattes." Benefit Bridgre Planned By Agudath Achim Religious School The Agudath ,\chim Religious School members are making plans for a benefit bridge to be held the first week in Fth ruary, lf)li"2, at the Excelsior Club.

Lazarus Sisterhood wilt sponsor a card party and bake sale at the Deshler-Wallick Hotel. Watch the Chronicle for further de¬ tails ! T. L SISTERHOOD BOARD TO MEET MONDAY, DEC. 28 Board members of the Tifereth Israel Sisterhood will meet Monday afternoon, December 28lh, at 1:30 o'clock, in the vestry rooms of the East Broad Street Temple, Cantor Mordecai Herflhm»n .All these .and a good m mj other thoughts flit through one's, nnnd wink listening to tbe sQul-pcntrating oriental melodies which Cantor Hershman weaves around the deep meanini^ words, melodies whicii tti tiie Jew always did nave a sjie- cial mysterious appeal a.-; if shrouded in Cabbalistic awe. and which only the Jew¬ ish people coukl understand and' feel cor¬ rectly. As to Cantor Hershman's voice, it will he no exaggeration to sa\- that no other voice before the public today can matcli it in power and sweetness. Classified as a dramatic tenor of unlimited strength, it is at the same time capable of the most delicate shading and colorature singing iiiiaginablc. With a range, even as a, string from the lowest to die highest notes, it soothes the car with its flexibil¬ ity and gladdens the heart with its sweet sounding .quality. .Vll those who will hear Cantor Hersh- inaii tomorrow night will certainly not forego the rare pleasure of hearing him at the Saturday moriiing services, which really afford a "Chazbn" a chance to shine at his best. However, there may be a number of people w!k> for one rea¬ son or another are unable to be present at tbe Sabbath services, and for these and all others Cantor Hershman is ar¬ ranging a special concert Sunday evening at eight o'clock, also at the Agudath Achim Synagogue, the like of which Co¬ lumbus has never heard before. ,In addition to the synagogical and clas¬ sical compositions Cantor Hershman is to sing at this concert, he will also render folk songs which will include such fa- viirile.-i as "Mikit;i," "A Chazondel of Shabos," "Milchige, Fleisliige and I'areve Yidden," sojigs which he sings with natchlcss grace and humor, and the fu¬ rore which he is certahi to create with the rendition of these and other songs will be the talk of the, town for weeks to come. Young and old are therefore urged not to miss this opjmrtunity of hearing one of the truly great artists oE our time, who with liis glorious voice aUd suiierh singing is certain to make one forget the dei>ression and' all other woes which are in vogue today. As it aj>pears at present, the Columbus Hebrew School should benefit consider¬ ably from this undertaking, it is im¬ portant, however, that every one attend this exceptional treat in order to make this undertaking a financial success. Mr. Hershman will be assisted hy Can¬ tor Freedman's excellent choir, and ac¬ companied by Mrs. A. W. Abraiiuon on the piano Sunday night., Cantor Hersh¬ man arrived in Columbus this morning, and is the guest of Mr. and itrs. A. W. Robins, lUTt S. 18th Street, while in the city. Rtmtmber the dates, place, ^-ud time - Tomorrow evening at ft t/Clork and Sat¬ urday morning at 9, Sabbath services, and, Sunday evening concert at eight o'clock at the Agudath Achim Synagogue, corner Washington and Donaldson Streets.
