Jared Harris Speaks on "Cowardly" Final Act of Lane Pryce on Mad MenMatt Richenthal at . Comments
SPOILER WARNING: Stop reading now if you have not yet watched last night's stunning episode of Mad Men.
Jared Harris minces no words when discussing the final act of Lane Pryce, the troubled British account man of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce who took his own life this week following mounting financial troubles and the feeling he'd never rise to a prominent stature within the firm.
"It was a cowardly act," he told TV Fanatic and other outlets on a conference call today. "It was vindictive and it was a passive aggressive…
"His choice of doing it [in the office] was a f-ck you to the office and to Don. And the topper to that was the boiler plate suicide note. He's trying to dig a hole and make Don feel like he was wrong and make them feel as bad as they made him feel."
Harris, of course, has known for months about his character's fate (the actor admitted to us that he's "lying" all this time in interviews) and says the seeds of Lane's demise were planted awhile ago.
"You had a pretty strong sense of a moral code about Lane and he seems to have broken it. That goes back to last season and the night on the town with Don and the way [Matt Weiner] talked to me about that was [Lane] was being corrupted by Don. Once you've been corrupted there's no way of going back."
How did Weiner breaks the news to Harris? With "incredibly expensive brandy," the veteran actor - who was also killed off Fringe this season - said. He also joked that if was difficult to actually remain serious for the climactic scene.
"I just kept wanting to break into that Monty Python song 'Look on the Bright Side of Life' and start dancing. But that wouldn't have been fair to the other actors ... I just had to hang from the door and stick my tongue out. The other actors had to react."
How will the AMC smash follow-up Lane's hanging? Watch the official promo now for next Sunday's Mad Men season finale.

Vertonghen explains Spurs move
Jan Vertonghen admits that he considered signing for Arsenal before opting to join North London rivals Tottenham.
Last Updated: 16/09/12 12:03pm
Jan Vertonghen admits that he considered joining Arsenal before opting to join North London rivals Tottenham.
The Belgian centre-back moved to White Hart Lane from Ajax for £9.6million in July after attracting the interest of a number of clubs, including the Gunners.
His decision to join Tottenham came after he had spoken at length about his options to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp, now assistant coach Ajax.
"He knows Tottenham is a very big club. He's a very good guy and I get along with him very well," the 25-year-old told The People.
"He was very positive about both clubs and about London, and he just said 'make your choice.'
"I chose Spurs because they gave me a good feeling. I spoke to Daniel Levy and I talked with Rafael van der Vaart.
"They invited me here and gave me the best feeling in the world. From that moment on I said to myself, 'I want to play here'.
"Arsenal did try to sign me but I'd already made my decision that I wanted to play here."
Vertonghen could have linked up with fellow countryman Thomas Vermaelen had he moved to the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal man told Vertonghen the North London rivalry would be a familiar scenario,
"Thomas told me it was like Ajax and Feyenoord," Vertonghen added. "They're big rivals but when I walk down the street even the Arsenal fans have been very respectful."

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12-13)
QUESTION: Once we put saving faith in Christ, do we stop working?
The Bible clearly teaches that we are not saved by our works of righteousness. We are saved solely through faith in Jesus Christ. We cannot earn our salvation. We can't add to it, can't be any more justified, can't be any more righteous in God's sight. Salvation is a wonderfully free gift from God.
But, the Bible is also clear that we must continue working, even after we are justified. As Paul says, we must "work out our salvation with fear and trembling". Now what does this mean? How is possible that we are saved by faith, yet must work out our salvation? Is this some sort of brain twister, like, "If one train leaves from Chicago at 9:20 PM, and is going 100 MPH…"?
Here's what it means: we must work to become what we already are. When we place our faith in Christ, we are declared righteous by God. It is a legal declaration that has nothing to do with our actual character. If an angry alcoholic and a pre-school teacher place faith in Christ at the same time, they are both equally righteous in God's sight, because God declares them to be righteous.
But, both the alcoholic and the pre-school teacher must work to become what God has already declared them to be. They must strive to live righteous lives, to "work out" the salvation that they already have. The alcoholic must actively put off anger and put on gentleness. The pre-school teacher must actively put off pride and actively put on humility. I must actively put off impatience and put on patience.
God really does care about holiness, and holiness really does involve effort. When we become Christians, we DO stop working to earn salvation. But we don't stop working. We must work toward becoming what God has already declared us to be. I must work toward being more righteous in my conduct.
Some Christians have the idea that once we become Christians, we no longer need to work. That's not what the Bible says. We must rest fully in what Christ has already achieved in our place. But we must also work hard to become more and more like Christ. And the wonderful thing is, we can know that God himself is working in us, giving us the power to obey.
So my fellow Christians, when it comes to earning, let's stop working. When it comes to being like Christ, let's work hard!

We have proof that the 2013 Lexus ES will arrive with a hybrid option.
Our spy photographers have just sent us the first images of Lexus' upcoming 2013 ES sedan. Although camouflage still hides most of the car's exterior, a single interior shot has revealed the ES' secret weapon.
A close-up of the ES' gauge cluster reveals a tachometer that appears to have the words 'Charge', 'Eco' and 'Power', indicating that this particular prototype is for an ES Hybrid. That's big news for Lexus' best-seller as a hybrid powertrain has thus far been reserved for the ES' lesser platform mate, the Toyota Camry.
If the Camry Hyrbid's powertrain carries over unchanged, we can expect a 2.5L four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor providing a combined 200 horsepower. The Camry Hybrid achieves 43mpg in the city and 39mpg on the highway, netting a combined average of 41mpg.
Although a hybrid version of the Camry has been on the market for several years now, the ES has maintained its V6-powertrain in the name of upholding Lexus' premium brand image. However, cylinder count in no longer synonymous with prestige, allowing Lexus to launch a four-cylinder hybrid version of the ES sedan.
No word on when we might see the 2013 Lexus ES in the flesh, but we wouldn't rule out the upcoming Chicago or New York auto shows.

Renault and Peugeot lose in sales as this July the French car purchases drop 4.3% due to a decrease in demand. The statement was made by the industry body of the country's CCFA (Committee of French Automobiles Constructors) and it was justified by the economic situation in France.
In 2013 the French vehicle manufacturer Renault S.A. reported sales of 150.218 cars, while this year, by July only 143.777 cars were sold and registered. The Paris-based group added though that they forecast a 2-3% market growth for the year.
Spokesman for CCFA, Francois Roudier, stated that "We've always said it's best to remain prudent about the market, and June orders were not strong. There are still concerns weighing on consumers and companies that do not favor new vehicle purchases – but we are still on track for our full-year forecast."
The Renault car sales fell 6.3% in July but stayed 12.3% higher for the first five months of the year. The sales of PSA Peugeot Citroen car fell 3.1% last month but they were up 3.6% for the rest of the year. Overall, the French light vehicle registrations grew 1.7% for the first 5 months of 2014, with cars 1.9% higher and delivery vans up 0.4%.

Mr. President,
1. It does seem strange to congratulate you on your appointment as President of the General Assembly so late in this session. But we live in unusual times. The UN needs clear leadership. With your distinguished track record in public service in the Republic of Korea, we are confident that you will provide it to this Assembly. We assure you of our full support. We also congratulate Mr. Hard Holkeri for his commendable leadership last year and the Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, and the UN on the Nobel Peace Prize that they received.
Mr. President,
2. The timing of this General Assembly indicates the difficult circumstances we are in. Never before has the UN had to postpone the General Debate. The terrorist attacks of September 11th have already had drastic and immediate international consequences. The long-term consequences are still unknown. But they will be both powerful and wide-ranging.
3. The events of September 11 have shaken an already vulnerable world economy. The developed world is suffering a growing economic slowdown. This is well known. Unfortunately, what is less well known are the damaging effects of the terrorist attacks on developing countries? In the developed countries, who provide the principal engine of the world's economy, the attacks have undermined consumer confidence, disrupted commerce and destroyed wealth. But these are temporary shocks from which the developed world can and will recover. The terrorist attacks have dramatically highlighted the reality of interdependence in today's globalize world. Joseph Stiglitz, a recent Nobel Prize winner, highlighted this interdependence in a recent Washington Post article dated 11 November 2001. He said, "It used to be said that when America sneezed, Mexico caught a told. Now, when America sneezes, much of the world catches cold. And according to recent data, America is not just sneezing, it has a bad case of the flu".
4. The developing countries, which depend on a healthy global economy for their hopes of growth and prosperity, face great dangers. The fear of terrorism may constrict the key arteries of globalization. We have already seen new precautions taken in many countries, at ports, airports, train stations, banks, media offices, government buildings, factories, offices, hospitals and many other public institutions. These precautions are important to protect innocent people in their daily lives. However, they also inevitably impose additional costs. These new restrictions on travel, on shipping, national and international mail, on the free flow of goods and information everywhere, are effectively a tariff imposed by terrorism upon the global community. Tragically, it is also a regressive tariff, one that affects the poorer members of the global community more.
5. If the arteries of globalization become increasingly constricted and cease to function effectively, developing countries will lose their best chance of growing out of poverty. This will only aggravate the hopelessness, marginal isation, ignorance and fear that can breed terrorism. We must avoid this vicious cycle. In developed countries, the economic slowdown is already strengthening protectionist voices, who call for restrictions on imports, the imposition of non-tariff barriers, antidumping duties, restrictions on migration and governmental support for domestic industries. A genuine concern over terrorist use of international financial and information networks could also be used as a justification for restrictions on the flows of international investment and information. Developing countries need these flows.
6. Even before September 11, developing countries were not benefiting sufficiently from these flows. The greater part of foreign direct investment (FDI) flows mainly among developed countries. Of the remainder, 12 major developing countries take 75% of private foreign investment to the developing world, while 140 developing countries share 5%. The poorest nations of the world therefore suffer not from too many connections with the wider world, but too few. The poorest 48 countries account for only 4% of total world trade while Sub-Saharan Africa receives only 5% of the total net long-term private capital flows to developing countries. At the same time, in the developed countries, tariffs on the export goods of developing countries are 30% higher than the global average 2. The poor countries cannot afford any further restrictions to trade.
7. In this regard, we are relieved that the WTO meeting in Doha, Qatar, has finally agreed to launch a new round of trade talks that keep the global economy on track towards freer trade and investment. Today's Wall Street Journal (which is a conservative journal) drew this link between the events of September 11 and the Doha results: "In an effort to keep poorer nations on their side in the war on terrorism, U. S. and European negotiators went further than anyone expected to meet the demands of the developing world. ....... Ultimately, the U.S. and Europe made big concessions to the developing world - concessions fiercely resisted by pharmaceutical and steel companies in the U.S. and farmers in Europe. "
8. This Doha meeting confirmed that the needs of poorer countries will have to be addressed. As a result of September 11, poorer countries will suffer relatively more than richer ones. To give an obvious example, tourism from richer countries is a major source of income for many developing countries. The fear of flying engendered by the recent terrorist attacks has already caused airlines all over the world to cut flight schedules and in many cases terminate them altogether. It is already much harder to get direct flights from New York city to many Latin American destinations. The World Travel and Tourism Council has estimated that the events of 11 September may cause job losses in the travel and tourism industry of up to 8.8 million. Of these, only 2.3 million losses will be in the US and Europe. The impact on developing countries dependent on the tourist trade will be enormous.
Mr. President,
9. The record of the past 30 years shows clearly that countries better integrated into the global economic system enjoyed greater long-term growth than relatively isolated countries. As the Secretary-General has said, "success in achieving sustained growth depends critically on expanding access to the opportunities of globalization. The countries that have achieved higher growth are those that have successfully integrated into the global economy and attracted foreign investment."
10. In a recent book "The End of Globalization: Lessons from the Great Depression", Harold James examines the fallout from a collapse of the integrated world in an earlier era. He provides a sobering historical perspective for what we are experiencing today. In the era before the First World War, the world was in many ways a well-integrated place. Movement of capital, knowledge and labor among both rich and poor countries was much less restricted. The rise of protectionism and isolationism in response to this phenomenon led to the Great Depression of the first half of the 20th century. This long lasting global recession ended only with the outbreak of the Second World War. This is not a cycle that we should repeat in the 21st century.
11. One big lesson of September 11 therefore is that globalization, far from being an all-powerful, irresistible force, is actually a fragile construct, dependent on the will of its participants for its continuing existence. If it collapses, developing countries could suffer more. The terrorists who destroyed the World Trade Center could also seriously damage the global economic system that represents the best chance that the developing countries have of long-term development, growth and prosperity. If they succeed, we will all be worse off.
12. Hence at the recently concluded APEC Summit in Shanghai, APEC Leaders representing 21 countries, both developing and developed, from three continents unequivocally condemned terrorist acts as a profound threat to the peace, prosperity and security of all people, of all faiths of all nations and pledged to cooperate fully to ensure that international terrorism does not disrupt economies and markets. We are not engaged merely in a struggle between a few developed nations and a few terrorists. The whole world is involved.
13. Following September 11, we in the international community must therefore act together to safeguard what we have achieved and what we have yet to achieve. The struggle against terrorism itself will take much time and stamina. To track down the terrorist groups and rip up their networks will be a difficult, long, messy and tedious business, requiring the co-operative effort of many countries. Countering terrorism must be an international endeavor.
14. The United Nations has a critical role to play. The United Nations remains the indispensable forum to mobilize international opinion and a strong political consensus against terrorism. Through the Security Council, it also provides a platform for practical co-operation. Within the UN system several bodies are already seized with the various dimensions of terrorism. One useful course of action would be for the various international law enforcement and other agencies dealing with terrorism to get together to examine existing norms and practices, and examine areas for further co-operation. Where such co-operation is already taking place bilaterally among countries, the UN can serve as a useful disseminator and clearing-house of information and best practices.
15. In the longer term, the economic and social conditions that encourage terrorists must also be addressed urgently. International economic integration, while ultimately the only guarantor of prosperity, is both incomplete in scope and uneven in its distribution of costs and benefits. Many developing countries remain imperfectly integrated into the world economy. These problems must be addressed, by capacity building and infrastructure development within developing countries, with whatever international assistance is necessary, and by the elimination of trade barriers and protectionism in the developed countries. The latest World Bank report reinforces this point in its estimates that abolishing all trade barriers could boost global income by $2,800 billion and lift as many as 320 million people out of poverty by 2015. We hope that the WTO negotiators will bear this in mind in the New Round of Negotiations.
16. To conclude, Mr. President, please allow me to quote the Secretary-General
once again, "in an increasingly globalize world, none of the critical issues
we are dealing with can be resolved within a solely national framework.
All of them require co-operation, partnership and burden-sharing among
Governments, the United Nations, regional organizations, non-governmental
organizations, the private sector and civil society." Global actions, facilitated
by consultative leadership, are needed to address challenges of global
dimensions. Let us make a small beginning to achieve this at this General

Margot Frank
Being in the Second World War was terrifying. There were Nazis kidnapping almost everyone, anyone who was different. The Franks and VanDaans had to survive this era by hiding in an annex. Among them was Margot Frank, Anne Frank's sister. She isn't well known, especially when compared to Anne. We should remember her. She was beautiful, not only in outward appearance, but in her behavioral characteristics, as others thought.
Margot's background began in 1926. Margot Betty Frank was born on February 16, 1926. Margot's middle name was given in memory of Edith Frank's, Margot's mother, sister, who died tragically at age 16. Margot was a sensitive baby who didn't gain weight fast and reacted violently when receiving vaccinations. At age three, her family rented a flat in the countryside. To Margot, this seemed like paradise. Although she was shy, she was kind and was welcomed to play with the other children. This was just the dream her parents wanted, to grow up without sorrow and prejudice, they should get an open heart for all people, no matter where they come from, no matter what religion they belong to. In June 21, 1929, Anne was born. She was a nervous, loud child. This as a huge change from the quiet child Margot was. Margot was described by her mother as an "Angel," since she never once cried throughout the night. In March of 1931, political issues arose and the family had to move to another flat, slightly smaller than the previous one, but with a bigger garden for Margot and Anne to play in. Because of the economical situation, they weren't able to keep this flat for more than one and a half years. They later moved into their grandfather's house. Soon, many anti-Jew laws were to be passed,and Margot joined a youth organization to discuss these laws. Later, in July, Anne and Margot were dismissed from school, and received certificates. in an unwilling admiration, Anne wrote in her diary that Margot "did outstanding, as always." On July 5th 1942, 3 PM, someone suddenly rings on the door. Somebody screams on the street: "Miss Margot Frank?" A policeman hands a letter to Mrs. Frank, a card that says Margot should register at the SS by the next morning. Right away, Mrs. Frank goes to the marriage couple VanDaan, to tell them that they have to go underground earlier now. Margot told Anne that the letter was sent to their father; probably that was her mother's advice. But later, as Margot tells Anne the truth, tears are rolling down her face. "Margot is sixteen! Such a young girl they want to deport?", she wrote into her diary. The next day, they discreetly went into the annex, the only place they would stay for 25 months.
To those around her, Margot seemed friendly, and sweet. She was quiet as an angel and was treated with respect by others. Anne was differentiated in her opinion about Margot. In her diary, she gave appreciation to Margot by saying that Margot did outstanding, as usual. However, in another part, she calls her a goody-good and accuses her of being everyone's perfect child.
During their stay at the annex, Margot developed some new behavior. Margot dedicated herself to studying in the annex. She even became a "teacher," teaching Dutch to the adults. It was if it became an obsession with her, a way to escape the annex and explore the world outside. As the years progressed, she receded more and more, rarely ever coming out, except for food and the w.c. We could know what was going on in her own mind, if we still had the diary she kept, but it was never recovered. Everyone in the house changed attitudes dramatically, as Miep, the person who brought them food and supplies and cared for them, said in her book,"One and a half year of forced isolation have taken their tribute. They all got weak nerves; Margot and Peter isolated themselves more and more." From time to time, Anne suffered a lot under the permanent nearness of her family members and fellow housemates, that's why she sometimes described them in a very hateful way: Margot, she once described as a "silly cow, who immensely provocates me all day and night long. With her reputation as a 'paragon of virtue', I'm annoying her now, maybe then she finally stops with it, the time is right."
Her beauty was always with her. During the time, Margot was described as an "Angel," not only because of her manners, but for her looks. She was said to be frail, with clear eyes, soft tender skin, and dark thick hair. Many would say she was beautiful. Later at her stay in the annex, she had to get glasses, which deluded her beauty to those around her.
On August 4th 1944, a police car stopped in front of the house in the Prinsengracht. It's been exactly 25 months since they've moved into their hiding place. A sergeant of the gestapo and some accomplices in plain clothes walk upstairs and swing the bookshelf aside, which has covered the door to the secret annexe. The eight people in hiding get the order to pack their bags with the most necessary things and then come downstairs within five minutes. None of them cried. Pale, but calmly, they climb into the police car. First they get brought to the headquarters of the Gestapo in the Euterpestraat. A few days later, all of them get transported to the camp Westerbork. As "criminal Jews", they get handled even worse than the others. Three hundred people live in each barrack, and at 5 AM they get picked up for work; the young had to work in a cable fabric, the adults are working in a stable where they have to scratch batteries open to sort the metal parts and coal sticks out, a senseless work. Margot was silent, just like her mother. On September 2, They got transported to Auschwitz. After their arrival, men and women got separated. The women got their hair shaved off. Margot, Anne and Mrs. Frank got into the women's barrack number 29. On October 27th, a selection for a work command took place. The youngest and strongest women of the barrack 29 were to leave Auschwitz to work in a Czech-Slovakian ammunition fabric. They all tried hard to be among the chosen ones. Anne, Margot and Edith had to stay in Auschwitz, because Anne had scabies and Margot and Edith did not want to leave her alone in the camp. Other prisoners brought them bread, which they then shared together. It was unavoidable that Margot, too, got scabies. In the whole camp, Mrs. Frank searched for food that she could bring to her sick daughters, whose bodies got more and more littered with abscesses and bruises. On September 30th, the prisoners got driven out of the barracks with blows. They got driven to the big roll call place and had to take their clothes off. A selection took place. An eyewitness tells:
"We got weighed, and he waved with his thumb to the right or to the left, which meant life or death. Only a careless gesture - away to the gas chamber."
To rescue themselves, the women lied about their age and their health condition. But Mrs. Frank got sent to the sick and the old people right away. Then Anne and Margot walked forward. Full of fear, Mrs. Frank looks at her daughters. A survivor tells:
"Fifteen and Eighteen years old, thin, naked, but proud, they walked to the selection table where the SS-men sat... and Anne nudged Margot, and Margot, too, walked erectly into the light, and there they stood for a moment, naked, and Anne glanced at us, with her unspoilt face and straight..."
Margot and Anne had to go "to the left"; not to the old and sick ones, but to an uncertain destiny. They were among the 634 women who got selected for the transport to Bergen-Belsen. Their mother died on January 6th 1945 in Auschwitz, out of hunger and anxiety around her family.
The sisters' courage hadn't worn out yet, for they continued to work in the shoe factory, tearing shoes and reusing the usable parts. this was a strenuous job, because the soldiers gave them blows. Anne was among the first to stop doing the work, but Margot held out a little bit longer. All of the Jews saved up on their rations to celebrate Hanukkah together.
Typhus was roaming savagely among the camp, in the barrack where Anne and Margot lay. One day in the middle of March 1945, Margot fell out of her plank bed and laid on the floor half unconscious. Anne already had a high fever. She was very friendly and caring: "Margot will sleep well, and when she sleeps, I don't need to get up anymore. Oh, I feel such a wonderful warmth." Survivors say that Anne seemed happy. Margot was so weak that she did not survive the fall on the cold stony floor. The impact has killed her. "Anne, too, was sick and wanted to stay alive, until Margot died, only then she gave herself up...", as an eyewitness tells. Margot's death was too much for Anne. She thought now there's nothing that she could live for anymore. Her father desperately searched for her, but she did not know that. Anne was lonely, when she died in the middle or the end of March in the camp. The dead bodies of the two girls got thrown into one of the mass graves. Only two or three weeks after their death, the camp got liberated by the British Army.
Margot was a survivor who had the will to live throughout most of World War II. Sadly, she died, without good reason, in the horrid camp. Out of all the people in the annex, only Mr. Frank lived. Miep, the good friend to the family, is still alive. Even though obscure in our history, we should remember Margot Frank just as much as her sister.

The newly acquired letters of Franz Kafka to his sister Ottla are on public display for the first time at the Bodleian Libraries. The Liebe Ottla exhibition celebrates the letters� acquisition in partnership with the Deutsches Literaturarchiv in Marbach, a pioneering collaboration between two cultural institutions, which jointly bought the letters in April 2011.
The exhibition includes eighteen letters and ten postcards and picture-postcards which reveal the close relationship Kafka had with his favourite sister, Ottla, the youngest of his three sisters and the family member to whom he was closest. In a letter dated 4 July 1918, on display in the exhibition, Kafka states how well he and his sister understand each other: �in fact we do live or I live with you better than with anybody else�. Most exhibits are in Kafka�s own handwriting and some also contain Kafka�s own drawings.
The correspondence gives an insight into Kafka�s life, his travel and everyday life as much as they sketch a portrait of Ottla, �a woman who struggles for emancipation against considerable odds� (Prof Ritchie Robertson, TLS, October 2011)
The exhibition also features highlights from the main Kafka collection in the Bodleian: the autograph of Die Verwandlung, (The Metamorphosis) 1912; Kafka�s first novel Der Verschollene (The Man Who Disappeared), and Das Schloss (The Castle).
The Bodleian Libraries will also celebrate the acquisition with a series of events held in the Sheldonian Theatre on 24 October:
- 16.15 - Reading of Act I, Scene I from Alan Bennett�s play Kafka�s Dick
- 16.30 - Kafka�s Writings: Private Confessions or Public Property? Lecture by Ritchie Robertson, Taylor Professor of the German Language and Literature, University of Oxford
- 17.00 - Panel discussion chaired by Katrin Kohl, Professor of German Literature, University of Oxford
Richard Ovenden, Deputy Librarian, Bodleian Libraries said, �Following the joint acquisition of Kafka�s letters to Ottla in April, we are delighted to organize the first Oxford events in a series of joint programmes of exchanges of academic fellows and exhibitions as well as other research activities related to Kafka and beyond between the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford and the Deutsches Literaturarchiv in Marbach.�
The Bodleian Library holds � thanks to the generosity of Franz Kafka�s family � the majority of the writer�s autograph manuscripts. Although Kafka�s explicit wishes were for his manuscripts to be destroyed, they were rescued by the authors� life-long friend, Max Brod who published them. The manuscripts themselves narrowly escaped the entry of the German Army into Prague in 1939 and, later in Tel Aviv, the Suez Crisis in 1956. They were finally brought from Switzerland to Oxford by Sir Malcolm Pasley in a small private car in 1961.

CHARLOTTE, NC When Tyrus Thomas dove for a loose ball heading out of bounds near the baseline in the second quarter Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards, it was clear the collective mindset of the Charlotte Bobcats was to execute at maximum effort. Thomas saved the ball to a teammate, and about 12 seconds later Ramon Sessions converted a driving layup. It was one of many effort plays the Bobcats made in a 92-76 victory over the fledgling Wizards and was an indication the 'Cats were dialed in. First-year Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap is not only fighting the residue of that horrid season hanging over the franchise, but he's also battling human nature. He understands that always giving effort isn't easy for anyone, including high-paid athletes. If a franchise that knows the sound, smell and taste of the bottom, it has no choice but to adopt a new persona, eventually manipulating it into a full-fledged culture. That process is under way in Charlotte, and it begins with defense and the mindset to protect the home turf. We want to try to be as tough to beat at home as we can, said Dunlap, whose team is is 3-1 at home. So there's two wins there. One, saying defense first, and they're getting some results from it. And second is just trying to make sure that the fans of Charlotte come back and see a good product and see players that care and will get a little bit dirty in terms of getting on the wood, taking charges and doing the little things that I think the Charlotte fan really appreciates. The simplicity of that plan certainly worked on Tuesday. While the Bobcats were a bit lead-footed early, mainly because they were dealing with veteran Matt Carroll's trade to New Orleans and Ben Gordons absence dealing with a family emergency. But it didn't take too long to get things going. Consider a few examples: After Sessions' fast-break layup put the Bobcats ahead 68-54 with two minutes left in the third quarter, Dunlap was just barely on the court clapping hard, barking encouragement to his team to get a stop, which it did. The bench stood and responded with approval. With 10:07 left, 7-footer Byron Mullens ruggedly fought off Kevin Seraphin for a loose ball near the baseline, drawing a foul in the process. The often-expressionless Mullens showed a bit of emotion after the whistle blew. With 7:26 remaining, 6-1, 184-pound point guard Kemba Walker skied for a rebound against beefy Wizards forward Trevor Booker. Walker fell hard to the floor after getting a hand on the ball so Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could snag the missed shot and push the ball up the floor. Thomas was at it again with 6:40 left to play. He came from out of nowhere to block a would-be dunk by Cartier Martin. Thomas awkwardly crashed to the floor, igniting a loud ovation from the appreciative crowd. Similar examples were on display all night. Wing guard Gerald Henderson, who is out with an injury but has a terrific view of the team's effort, said this is who the Bobcats are becoming. Coach has implemented, since the day he got here, that we're going to be a scrappy team, Henderson said. For us, every game is going to be a dog fight, so we have to have a lot of energy, always helping each other and just bringing it every night. For NBA players who must navigate the grind of an 82-game regular season schedule plus training camp and exhibition games, surely there will be times when they just arent there. Thats human nature. But the Bobcats have embraced fighting it with open arms. We've got to have experiences like we did tonight where our volume got up and I think there was a collective effort we can continue to build on, Dunlap said. For the season, Charlotte has three wins in six games and back-to-back wins for the first time since last December. A year ago, the Bobcats finished with just seven victories in 66 games. Apparently, Dunlap's approach is working.

New Data Demonstrated Efficacy and Safety of Initial Combination Therapy with Welchol(R) (colesevelam HCl) and Metformin in Drug-Naive Adult Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Treatment with Welchol and Metformin Significantly Improved Patients' Glycemic and Lipid Control
Jun 26, 2010, 10:00 ET from Daiichi Sankyo
PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Results of a new study demonstrated that initial combination therapy with Welchol® (colesevelam HCl) 3.75 g/d and metformin (initiated at 850 mg/d; uptitrated to 1700 mg/d thereafter) significantly improved glycemic and lipid control in drug-naive adult type 2 diabetes patients with high LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). In the study, treatment with Welchol plus metformin significantly reduced mean A1C levels by 1.1 percent and LDL-C levels by 21 percent. In addition, approximately two-thirds of patients who received Welchol plus metformin achieved the American Diabetes Association (ADA)'s glycemic goal of A1C levels less than 7 percent, which was statistically significant compared with metformin plus placebo alone.(1) Results of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study were presented today at the 70th Scientific Sessions of the ADA in Orlando.
"In this study, early intervention with Welchol and metformin significantly reduced A1C and LDL cholesterol levels, two important risk factors for cardiovascular disease, in drug-naive adult type 2 diabetes patients with high cholesterol," said Yehuda Handelsman, MD, FACP, FACE, Medical Director of the Metabolic Institute of America in Tarzana, Calif. and investigator of the study. "Notably, these data indicate that initial combination therapy with Welchol and metformin may represent a safe and effective option to help patients with type 2 diabetes reach glycemic and lipid goals."
About 23.6 million, or 8 percent of people in the United States, have diabetes, and approximately 90 to 95 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.(2) The ADA and the American College of Cardiology emphasize that it is critical to reduce both A1C and LDL cholesterol levels, as more than 50 percent of adults with type 2 diabetes also have elevated LDL cholesterol, greatly increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease.(3,4,5) The effect of Welchol on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.
"As the only medication approved to treat both A1C and LDL-C in adults with type 2 diabetes and primary hyperlipidemia, Welchol addresses both of these chronic health conditions and provides physicians with a unique therapeutic approach for the comorbid patient," said Jay M. Feingold, MD, PhD, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. "We are encouraged by these study results, which reinforce the benefits of Welchol for treating adult patients with type 2 diabetes and/or elevated LDL cholesterol."
About the Study (Posters #684 and #633)(1,6)
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was conducted at approximately 38 sites within the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, and India, and included a three-week screening period to confirm disease diagnosis followed by 16 weeks of randomized treatment. The study evaluated patients aged 18 to 79 years diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (A1C 6.5 to 10.0 percent, inclusive) and who were drug-naive – defined as never having received treatment for their diabetes, or not having received diabetes medication for three months prior to screening – with LDL cholesterol levels greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL and triglyceride levels less than 500 mg/dL. In total, 286 patients with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol were randomized to receive either Welchol (colesevelam HCl) 3.75 g/d (n=145) or placebo (n=141) along with open-label metformin (initiated at 850 mg/d; uptitrated to 1700 mg/d thereafter). Mean baseline A1C levels were 7.8 percent in the Welchol plus metformin group and 7.5 percent in the metformin plus placebo group.
The study found that initial combination therapy with Welchol and metformin reduced mean A1C levels by 1.1 percent compared with patients receiving metformin plus placebo (-0.8 percent), resulting in a mean treatment difference of -0.3 percent (p<0.01). The study also showed that 67 percent of patients (n=66) achieved the A1C target of less than 7 percent with Welchol plus metformin, compared with 56 percent of patients (n=53) receiving metformin plus placebo, a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). Additionally, 48 percent of patients (n=61) in the Welchol group attained LDL cholesterol less than 100 mg/dL compared with 18 percent of patients (n=24) in the metformin plus placebo group (p<0.0001).
Welchol in combination with metformin also resulted in significantly greater mean reductions in LDL cholesterol levels (16 percent), mean total cholesterol levels (6 percent), mean non-HDL cholesterol (8 percent), mean apolipoprotein B (8 percent), and median high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (17 percent) compared with patients treated with metformin plus placebo, (p<0.01 for all). In the study, Welchol plus metformin increased triglycerides by 19 percent (p<0.001) compared with metformin plus placebo.
Results from a safety analysis of this study showed that initial combination therapy with Welchol and metformin was well-tolerated and had a safety profile similar to that of metformin monotherapy. Compliance with the individual treatment components was greater than 90 percent for both groups. In patients receiving Welchol plus metformin, the most common gastrointestinal adverse events were diarrhea (12 percent) and nausea (12 percent); the most common non-gastrointestinal adverse events were headache (8 percent), influenza (8 percent), and dizziness (6 percent). Mild hypoglycemia was reported in two patients treated with Welchol (colesevelam HCl) and metformin compared with three patients receiving metformin and placebo. By the end of the study, weight decreased by 2.1 kg in each group.
About Welchol
Approved in 2000 to lower LDL cholesterol and in 2008 as add-on therapy for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, Welchol is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to reduce elevated LDL-C and improve glycemic control in adults with primary hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes, two chronic health conditions. Welchol should not be used for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. Welchol has not been studied in type 2 diabetes as monotherapy or in combination with a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor and has not been extensively studied in combination with thiazolidinediones. Welchol has not been studied in Fredrickson Type I, III, IV, and V dyslipidemias. Welchol is available in two formulations, Welchol tablets and Welchol® for Oral Suspension.
In clinical studies of adult patients with type 2 diabetes, Welchol lowered A1C, fasting plasma glucose and LDL-C, important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.* In clinical studies of patients with elevated LDL-C, Welchol lowered LDL-C when used as monotherapy, when added to statin therapy, or as initial combination with statin therapy.(7)
*The effect of Welchol on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WELCHOL (colesevelam HCl)
Welchol is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to:
- reduce elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with primary hyperlipidemia (Fredrickson Type IIa) as monotherapy or in combination with an hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitor (statin)
- improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Important Limitations of Use
- Welchol should not be used for glycemic control in type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis
- Welchol has not been studied in type 2 diabetes as monotherapy or in combination with a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor and has not been extensively studied in combination with thiazolidinediones
- Welchol has not been studied in Fredrickson Type I, III, IV, and V dyslipidemias
Welchol is contraindicated in individuals with a history of bowel obstruction, those with serum triglyceride (TG) concentrations of >500 mg/dL, or with a history of hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis.
Warnings and Precautions
The effect of Welchol on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.
Welchol can increase serum TG concentrations particularly when used in combination with sulfonylureas or insulin. Caution should be exercised when treating patients with TG levels >300 mg/dL.
Welchol may decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Patients on vitamin supplements should take their vitamins at least 4 hours prior to Welchol. Caution should be exercised when treating patients with a susceptibility to vitamin K or fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies.
Caution should also be exercised when treating patients with gastroparesis, gastrointestinal motility disorders, a history of major gastrointestinal tract surgery, and when treating patients with dysphagia and swallowing disorders.
Welchol reduces gastrointestinal absorption of some drugs. Drugs with a known interaction with colesevelam (cyclosporine, glyburide, levothyroxine, and oral contraceptives [ethinyl estradiol, norethindrone]) should be administered at least 4 hours prior to Welchol. Drugs that have not been tested for interaction with colesevelam, especially those with a narrow therapeutic index, should also be administered at least 4 hours prior to Welchol. Alternatively, the physician should monitor drug levels of the co-administered drug.
To avoid esophageal distress, Welchol for Oral Suspension should not be taken in its dry form.
Due to tablet size, Welchol for Oral Suspension is recommended for, but not limited to, any patient who has difficulty swallowing tablets.
Phenylketonurics: Welchol for Oral Suspension contains 48 mg phenylalanine per 3.75 gram dose.
Adverse Reactions
In clinical trials, the adverse reactions observed in >/= 2% of patients, and more commonly with Welchol than placebo, regardless of investigator assessment of causality seen in:
- Adults with Primary Hyperlipidemia were: constipation (11.0% vs 7.0%), dyspepsia (8.3% vs 3.5%), nausea (4.2% vs 3.9%), accidental injury (3.7% vs 2.7%), asthenia (3.6% vs 1.9%), pharyngitis (3.2% vs 1.9%), flu syndrome (3.2% vs 3.1%), rhinitis (3.2% vs 3.1%), and myalgia (2.1% vs 0.4%)
- Adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes were: constipation (8.7% vs 2.0%), nasopharyngitis (4.1% vs 3.6%), dyspepsia (3.9% vs 1.4%), hypoglycemia (3.0% vs 2.3%), nausea (3.0% vs 1.4%), and hypertension (2.8% vs 1.6%)
Post-marketing experience: Due to the voluntary nature of these reports it is not possible to reliably estimate frequency or establish a causal relationship:
- Increased seizure activity or decreased phenytoin levels have been reported in patients receiving phenytoin concomitantly with Welchol
- Reduced International Normalized Ratio (INR) has been reported in patients receiving warfarin concomitantly with Welchol
- Elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) has been reported in patients receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy
Welchol is Pregnancy Category B.

LONDON (AP) -- Optimism that the world's major central banks will keep borrowing costs down boosted world stock markets Friday as investors awaited a key U.S. jobs report later in the day.
The prospect of continued monetary stimulus helped offset worries earlier in the week of a Chinese slowdown, a reemergence in European debt woes and the disruption of energy markets due to the military ouster of Egypt's president.
The biggest jumps were in Asia, where markets were catching up with the gains in Europe the day before. The rally was trigged by the European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's statement that interest rates will remain low "for an extended period of time."
The ECB statement was echoed by the Bank of England and followed indications that the U.S. economy is growing — but probably not fast enough for the U.S. Federal Reserve to rush into tapering off its stimulus program. Markets had been spooked in recent weeks at the prospect of such stimulus ending.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 closed up 2.1 percent to 14,309.97 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 1.9 percent to 20,854.67
In early European trading, Britain's FTSE 100 was up another 0.6 percent to 6,458.85 after jumping 3 percent the day before. Germany's DAX, however, edged down 0.2 percent to 7,979.19 while France's CAC-40 slipped 0.2 percent to 3,799.47.
Futures augured gains on Wall Street after the Independence Day holiday. Dow futures climbed 0.9 percent to 15,051 and S&P 500 futures gained by the same percentage to 1,623.10.
Investors were waiting for the U.S. government's monthly report on jobs due later Friday. Earlier in the week, Wall Street rallied after ADP, a payrolls processor, said that businesses added more jobs last month than analysts had expected. If the U.S. government confirms that Friday, it offers hope that the country's recovery is continuing.
Economists predict that the government will report that employers added 165,000 jobs last month, roughly in line with May's increase. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at a still-high 7.6 percent. Another solid month of hiring in June could signal the start of a stronger second half of the year for the U.S. economy.
But the market reaction may be mixed if the number is too strong, as that could lead some to believe the Fed will speed up the tapering of its stimulus program.
Elsewhere in Asia, Taipei's TAIEX jumped 1.4 percent to 8,001.82 while Sydney's S&P/ASX 200 edged up 1 percent to 4,841.70 and China's Shanghai Composite posted a small gain of 0.1 percent to 2,007.29.
Seoul's KOSPI fell 0.3 percent to 1,833.31 after shares of Samsung Electronic dropped nearly 4 percent after its quarterly operating profit failed to meet market expectations. The company estimated April-June earnings at a record high 9.5 trillion won ($8.3 billion) but that was below analysts' forecasts and investors are worried profit growth could slow as smartphone sales in rich nations reach a saturation point.
Benchmark crude for August delivery was down 21 cents at $101.03 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In currencies, the euro fell to $1.2879 from $1.2902. The dollar fell to 99.98 yen from 100.23 yen late Thursday.

Drug Rehab Options in Alaska
No matter whether you are fighting your addiction and looking for rehabilitation in Alaska or Delaware, Drug-Rehab.org is committed to helping you. We can give you access to over 3000 resources for getting recovery now. Just give us a call at 888-272-5296 to begin your journey to rehabilitation and holistic wellness. There are clinics, treatment centers and addiction programs for you to explore in Alaska, as well as across the greater country.
Alaska is known as America's last frontier and was one of the last additions to the country, becoming an official state in 1959. It has a reputation for adventure and intrigue, as well as a rather frozen climate. Unfortunately, drug and alcohol addiction
Alaska, actually, has one of the worse drug epidemics going on in the country.
If you need immediate help or an assessment for an Alaska resident, CALL NOW or click:
Drugs and Alaska: The Icy Reality
Alaska has a population of 722,718 people, making it one of the most sparsely populated states. The state capital of Alaska is Juneau, located in the southern tail of the massive state
Alaska has a great occurrence of the Native American population within its borders. And Native Americans, unfortunately, are one demographic prone to alcohol and drug problems. 10.7 percent of Native Americans suffer from sort of chemical dependence, compared to about 7 percent of other populations.
The punishment for drug possession in Alaska ranges from minor to severe. Possession of less than one ounce of marijuana in your home carries no penalty. Over an ounce to four ounces in your home is a misdemeanor and carries a penalty of a 90 day sentence and a $1,000 fine. Sale of less than an ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor and carries up to a 1 year sentence and a $5,000 fine. The maximum fine for possession of marijuana near a school zone in Alaska is a whopping $50,000. Is that risk really worth it?
- Methamphetamine is available in Alaska and comes from two different locations: labs existing within Alaska and from the continental US. Cocaine is also obtained from the Continental US.
- Marijuana remains the most abused substance in Alaska, followed up by prescription medications such as Oxycodone. Nearly 20 percent of Alaska residents between the ages of 18 and 25 had used marijuana in the past month when surveyed.
Other drugs and even alcohol do pose significant threats to the Alaska population. For example, 61 percent of the population of Alaska used alcohol in the past month. While that itself may be no cause to sound the alarm, take into consideration that 40 percent of Alaskans were binge drinking on a monthly basis between the ages of 18 and 25.
Designer drugs are also making a notable presence in Alaska life as well, as of recently. An illicit drug known as "Spice" or "K2" is among those that are enjoying a sudden popularity in Alaska. This drug is so dangerous that it causes delusions, seizures, heart palpitations and even, in some cases, death.

The Fact and Fiction of Fantastic Hybrids
Have you heard of the Poisonous Fiddlerfrog, whose tadpoles grow up into crabs? Or the Hummingshrew, who eats flies as well as nectar?
These animals aren't real, so you'd only know about them if you've seen Voyage Through a Hidden World. This collaboration between artist Sandra Yagi and writer Julie Benbow is currently on display at The Bone Room Presents in Berkeley. Yagi's hybrid creatures are paired with Benbow's journal entries, written from the perspective of fictional 18th century explorer Lady Lavinia.
Many members of the beautiful bestiary are puns incarnate. Real rhino beetles are large and oddly shaped, but Yagi's Rhinobeetle has the head of a literal rhinoceros. Leafy seadragons in our world are marine fish; the ones on Yagi's canvas crawl on reptilian limbs.
Yagi has always been fascinated by science. "I'd go to Body Worlds and take my sketchbook," she says. "I collect anatomy books." The artist is also lucky to have a personal fact-checker: "My partner works in medicine, so she'll tell me if I get anything wrong."
Sponsored By
But aren't all hybrids "getting it wrong" in a spectacular way? In "Zonkeys are Pretty Much My Favorite Animal" (July 31, 2007 Outside), Jon Cohen points out that hybrids "strain credulity--even when they're staring you in the face." They flout the organized structure we've set up to understand nature. And yet real hybrids are more common, and possibly more important to evolution, than most of us realize. Have you ever heard of blynxes? Pizzlies? Humanzees?
But real-world hybrids are always produced by crosses between similar species. Remember the classification scheme you probably had to memorize in high school biology, with humans as an example:
Kingdom (Animalia)
Phylum (Chordata)
Class (Mammalia)
Order (Primate)
Family (Hominidae)
Genus (Homo)
Species (sapiens)
A bobcat (Lynx rufus) and a lynx (Lynx lynx) belong to the same genus, and they can make a baby blynx. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and grizzlies (Ursus arctos) are also congeners, and can join forces to create a pizzly.
Sponsored By
Hummingbirds and shrews, by contrast, belong to entirely separate classes, and frogs and crabs to separate phyla. Anatomical and chemical differences between these pairs are too extreme to allow hybridization.
So fiddlerfrogs and hummingshrews remain confined to our imaginations. Disappointment, or relief? Your choice!

Manufacturer: Tannoy
Stirling Gold Reference is the first step into the heritage and performance of the Tannoy Prestige GR series. This compact floorstanding loudspeaker is rich with the timeless styling, bespoke cabinetry and the truly engaging performance from its new Dual Concentric Gold Reference driver that can trace its history back to 1967. Mating a treated paper pulp cone with a concentrically mounted 25mm (1.00") aluminium alloy tweeter with Tulip Waveguide, the Stirling's 250mm (10.00") Dual offers pure point source musical articulation and outstanding dynamics. .
The Stirling GR crossover benefits from a widespread component upgrades including highest quality capacitors designed to Tannoy's exacting specification. The entire crossover board undergoes Deep Cryogenic Treatment, a technique Tannoy developed for the flagship Kingdom Royal project. This improves the crystal structure of not only the components and cabling on the hard-wired crossover-board but throughout the contacts and solder joints leading to a smoother and more natural presentation.
The Stirling GR cabinet is hand built from the finest plywood using traditional joinery methods to ensure that attention to detail and unique styling go hand in hand. A distributed port design for exemplary LF response from the 85 litre enclosure, the cabinet is finished in Prestige oiled real walnut wood veneer and complimented with solid walnut trim and edging, machined metal trim and adjustable HF power.
Capable of handling peak input power of up to 340watts and boasting prodigious 91dB efficiency, the Stirling has the power and authority of much larger and more affluent loudspeakers. It is detailed, dynamic and outstandingly articulate sound with all the musical cohesion inherent with the Dual Concentric driver. Stirling GR offers the bespoke cabinetry and remarkable performance of Tannoy's Prestige series, yet costs no more than a typical mass produced loudspeaker.

(b)The regulations.
(1) Range live firing on the Naval Base Coronado, Coronado, California small arms range may occur at any time. Information on live firing schedules and coordination for community concerns can be obtained by calling the Naval Base Coronado Small Arms Range Safety Officer at 619-545-8413 during normal working hours. Assistance is also available via the Naval Base Coronado Hotline at 619-545-7190 or the Naval Base Coronado operator at 619-545-1011. If the phone numbers are changed, they will be updated on the Naval Base Coronado Web site http://www.cnic.navy.mil/Coronado.

(3) When live firing is about to be undertaken or is in progress during daylight hours, three (3) large red warning flags will be displayed at the top of the flag poles on the southern berm of the small arms range, so as to be clearly visible from all points of entry into the danger zone. The west flag pole is located on the southern berm at latitude 32°41′21.5″ N, longitude 117°12′42.8″ W, the middle flag pole is located at latitude 32°41′21.7″ N, longitude 117°12′40.9″ W, and the east flag pole is located at latitude 32°41′22.4″ N, longitude 117°12′38.7″ W.

In-district transfer spots at Ann Arbor Public Schools announced
- Previous coverage: Ann Arbor Huron, Pioneer to accept applications for in-district transfers
Editor's note: This story has been updated with new information on Lakewood Elementary from AAPS.
The time is now to switch elementary or middle schools in Ann Arbor.
Ann Arbor Public Schools announced Wednesday it will accept applications for in-district transfers through March 8.
Parents may fill out an application to send their child to an elementary or middle school that is beyond the attendance boundary in which they reside.
Traditionally, Ann Arbor has offered limited availability solely at its elementary and middle schools. However, for the first time this year, seats also are open at Huron and Pioneer high schools.
Families of students who receive these transfers are assigned to their requested school instead of their residence-determined school. Once accepted through an in-district transfer, the student can stay for all grades offered at that school, according to the website.
File photo
Tappan is the only middle school that will not offer seats for in-district transfers for the 2013-14 academic year. Clague, Forsythe, Scarlett and Slauson all will have 10 open spots for sixth-graders.
Angell, Bach, King and Lawton elementary schools are not open to in-district transfers for fall 2013.
Kindergarteners through fifth-graders can apply to transfer to Abbot, Carpenter, Lakewood and Mitchell elementary schools. Dicken and Northside have space available in kindergarten through fourth grade. Eberwhite can accept students in kindergarten through third.
Allen Elementary School was excluded from last year's in-district transfer list. However, it is open to accept kindergarteners this year.
Logan Elementary has space available in all grades but third. Burns Park also can accept students, except those entering third or second grade.
Bryant and Pattengill, which operate as one school community in two buildings, have open seats for their respective populations. Bryant will accept in-district transfers in grades kindergarten through second, and Pattengill will accept applications from third- through fifth-graders.
Kindergarteners and first-graders can apply at Haisley and Wines elementary schools.
Thurston has space available in second grade and Pittsfield has space in kindergarten and fifth grade.
Transportation is not provided to families that accept in-district transfer offers. Families will be notified by mid-April if their applications are approved. If more students apply than seats are available at a particular school, a lottery will take place.

I am aghast at the Forsythe sign: Numerous civil rights, educational, athletic, and academic organizations consider the use of Nordic names/symbols by non-Nordic teams to be a harmful form of ethnic stereotyping which should be eliminated. I trust that the above photo is old and that the demeaning, disrespectful, racist, insensitive, and false name of "Vikings" has long since been replaced with the mandatory "Eagles". As is, it will take centuries for Viking self-esteem to recover from that affront.

Thanks, Dog Guy. I needed a laugh!

I am assuming this is in jest?
Wed, Feb 6, 2013 : 11:12 p.m.
This process annoys the heck out of me because they never get the numbers right - another round of 28 1st-graders in a class because the district opened the school when it should not have? Super.

1987 chev celebrity. 150,000 miles. V-6. Auto trans. Car starts right up and idles smoothly. No hesitation, surge, backfire or dying. Severe lack of power under acceleration. Plugs recently replaced. Plug wires as well. Air cleaner too. Also recent fuel pump. Whirring sound from engine as if it is working too hard. When revved high in neutral, sounds like it is sucking air. Revs high then shifts late, when driving. Oil and transmisision fluids look to be normal. No engine smoke. No detected fluid or exhaust leaks found. Car drives just fine except when you try to accelerate, then it bogs down and very slowly reaches speed. Struggles to reach freeway speed, but after doing so, runs wiith no problem. No other unusual noise from under the hood.
have the same problem?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Canadiens Need Subban In The Lineup
by Paul on 01/21/13 at 11:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jack Todd at the Montreal Gazette,
So what does newly minted GM Marc Bergevin do now? In this short-sprint season, 10 games without Subban could douse any playoff hopes the CH might entertain, when every game is the equivalent of two in a normal season.
Bergevin sensibly does not want to break the bank for a player who (in the organization's view) has not quite proved himself. For reasons that have never been publicly clear, the club has always been a little down on Subban: It was that way with Pierre Gauthier, Jacques Demers and Randy Cunneyworth, it's that way now with Bergevin and Michel Therrien, who only a short time ago was Subban's most ferocious critic in the media.
Now, assuming that Subban signs at some point, the same guy who was ripping him on RDS is his coach, which could be part of the problem here. Technically, Subban isn't a holdout, because he doesn't have a contract. In truth, as a restricted free agent without other offers, the effect of his absence is the same as a holdout.
The one thing you know is that agent Donnie Meehan is not going to sell his client short. The amiable Meehan isn't given to outrageous statements; in public, at least, he's a quiet bulldog who will hang on until he has everything he can get — much as Donald Fehr did during the CBA negotiations.
