In the three years he has been out of the game, Eric Grothe Jnr has sat on a board, performed as a muso at packed-out gigs and dabbled in TV and radio.
But he really came off his wing while working at a mate's telecommunications company.
"That was fun, putting a suit on and going to meetings," Grothe said. "I had my first business card. BDM - business development manager. So that was a pretty special moment in my life.
"I used to hand them out to all my friends, they thought I was a dill. I've still got a whole box of them in the back of my car. That walk of life was pretty interesting but after doing that for a while it's great to be back playing footy for a living."
Grothe will make his comeback for Cronulla in their opening trial against Manly at Remondis Stadium on Friday. He'll come back a couple of kilograms leaner than the winger who made his name representing Parramatta, NSW and, for a single Test, Australia.
He will turn 34 in March but hasn't ruled out playing on for up to another three years.
"I'll listen to my body and if it's going OK I'll keep going until it's not," he said. "Hopefully I'll get a couple more years out of it, at the most maybe three. It's not uncommon these days to be playing at 35 or 36, it happens all around the world. If you're performing well, feeling good and not a burden to your team, why not?
"Music is around forever, rugby league isn't. Unless you're the great Steve Menzies."
Apart from an 11-game stint for the Roosters, Grothe has played all of his football for Parramatta. Until recently, he sat on the Eels board, and admits it will be strange to play against his former club - and that of his famous father, Eric Grothe Snr - if selected for the round five NRL encounter between the teams.
But the Shinobi frontman's first priority is to impress against the Sea Eagles, where he is likely to aim up against either David Williams or Jorge Taufua.
"The tougher the better, I need to get right in there and get amongst it," he said. "There's no point delaying the inevitable.
"I'm just keen to get out there and get some contact, I haven't played a game in three years so I need to get belted straight away to remember what it's all about.
"I'm not [nervous] at all. Someone asked me the other day and I thought, 'Yeah, I probably should be'. I'm sure I will be on the day but at the moment I feel really calm. I know it's a cliche but I really just want to get out there and see how I go."
The Shire resident's love of the game was rekindled during his sabbatical. As an Eels board member, he started watching more football and, when he felt the need to get back into shape, thought it would be easier if he had an end-goal to achieve.
"I started training, I was in a bit of a rut and was a bit unhealthy," he said. "I wasn't feeling too good about myself. It was just for general health and fitness and then I thought it would be good to have something to train for. A couple of mates were in my ear to give it another shot, so I thought 'why not?'. So here I am."

An original comic book series created by filmmaker Marcus Nispel (Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Pathfinder). In Chosen #2, a Detroit teen's mystical odyssey plunges down an even darker path after he breaks out of the juvenile detention center where he'd unwittingly been placed by forces far greater than anything he could have ever imagined. Now, although from his jail cell and the cruel indulgences of the warden, Ryan finds himself imprisoned by a prophecy that places him square in the crosshairs of a dangerous age old conflict between the forces of light and dark. Worst of all, the one mentor he's had guiding him through a mystery he can barely conceive, may not be as noble as he seems and ultimately become the greatest danger Ryan will ever face.

Spam Through HTTP Referrer Logs 52
Max Romantschuk continues: "It took a moment to realize what was going on, but then it dawned to me, I was being spammed through my referrer logs! A quick google search on the words "referrer spam" confirmed my suspicions, this was indeed a widespread practice, and not new at all. In fact, Wired had an article on the subject dating almost a year back. It turns out the spammers aren't after blog authors, but what they are actually doing is targetting people which publish their referrer logs on their sites automatically. Fortunately, I don't.
I run a very small site, and get about 20 to 50 visits a day, and I don't publish my logs. Not exactly a likely target, am I? Clearly these spammers seem to do this in volume, and the phenomenon is bound to increase as email spamming is becomming increasingly hard. With email spam, IM spam, Windows Messaging spam (NET SEND popups) and HTTP referrer spam, how long will it take until every open technology has to be locked down? I hate to say it, but I doubt Wikis and similar systems will stay open for very long if things keep going in this direction."

THE DEMO: On tap were three different sample levels, each focusing on a different style of play. There was a sample dungeon level (simply called "Dungeon") which consisted of a central hub-like area with branching pathways. Battling monsters in the dungeon was a bit more interesting than previous Zelda games, due in large-part to the Motion Plus-based sword (and bow) control. Instead of just wildly flailing at enemies, I needed to pay attention to the enemy stances and attack patterns, and swing my sword appropriately to penetrate their defenses. I also played around with a new gadget called a "beetle," which is a mechanical flying bug that link can launch and control to do things like trip out-of-the-way switches. Link also has the ability to sprint using a recharging stamina meter, making it easier to get around the level quickly. The next level on-tap was an arena-based boss fight against a humanoid "demon lord." The swordplay in that section really drove home the new depth of the combat system. In the protracted, one-on-one fight, I had to use combinations different sword swings to connect with my foe, based on his current stance or attack pattern. Though the dungeon and boss fight were fun, the final playable level called "Bird Riding" served up a flying race that proved to be the freshest new addition. Mounted on giant griffin-like birds, I raced against other AI competitors to catch a golden bird with a prize around his neck. DETAILS: Skyward Sword isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, but the implementation of Motion Plus-based sword control adds some nice flavor (and a bit more challenge) to the combat. The tilt based controls for flying both the beetle gadget and the bird during the race level worked well, and were a lot of fun--swinging the Wii-mote sharply downward made the bird flap. Combined with a limited boost ability, flying to catch up to the golden bird was a quite enjoyable (if somewhat imprecise) experience. As a fan of the series, my brief time with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword already has me excited for my next trip to the land of Hyrule. Watch the Shacknews E3 2011 page to follow all our coverage of this year's show. You can also subscribe to it with your favorite RSS reader.
You'll need to swing your sword in different ways to penetrate enemy defenses.

Submitted by Green Drinks McHenry County
Doug Hawthorne, vice president of the Northern Illinois Beekeepers Association, will be speak at the next meeting of Green Drinks McHenry County.
It will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, at Duke's Alehouse & Kitchen, 110 N. Main St. in Crystal Lake. The public is invited. Head upstairs at Duke's for information and inspiration, business and socializing. Talk about "greening" the future with others. You must be age 21 or older to purchase alcohol; nonalcoholic drinks are available.
Hawthorne will be speaking about the state of bees in McHenry County. Though he has been a beekeeper for 11 years and knows enough to recognize a honeybee from a wasp, he feels that he has only touched on the knowledge available on raising bees. He has harvested honey each year -- enough to cover out-of-pocket expenses. He is now learning how to make beeswax candles.
There will be an information table set up, and you are welcome to bring information about your green products and services each month to share. Additional parking is available at the train station.
To be added to their email list, send a note to email@example.com or "like" the group on Facebook at www.FaceBook.com/GreenDrinksMcHenryCounty.

ROME — American cardinals preparing for the conclave to elect a new pope abruptly canceled a press conference Wednesday and said they would hold no more briefings, shuttering one of the liveliest sources of information about the papal election.
The US cardinals said in a statement that they were committed to transparency, but that the College of Cardinals had agreed not to speak to reporters until after the conclave because of an Italian news report that contained leaked information about the cardinals' confidential meetings.
Cardinals from around the world have granted interviews to hometown reporters and international news agencies since Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation on Feb. 11. But the US cardinals were the only ones who held regular press briefings.
Although the American cardinals would not reveal what was said in the meetings or discuss contenders for pope, the briefings offered an invaluable opportunity to hear prelates' reflections, in their own voices and off the cuff. They spoke about the experience of participating in the conclave, what issues they cared about, and what qualities they wanted to see in the next pope.
They also provided general information about how the talks were structured and why some logistical decisions were made. The tone of the question-and-answer sessions was spirited, and the cardinals seemed to relish the opportunity to explain — sort of — what they were up to.
"Obviously, there is great interest in what is happening here," Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, said in a briefing Tuesday when asked why the cardinals were holding the press conferences. "We're trying to help people have a greater understanding of what the process is and the procedures and give background information. . . . We're happy to talk to you."
In the regular midday briefing that serves as the official message of the church, the Rev. Thomas Rosica, a Vatican spokesman, told reporters Wednesday that the cardinals' decision to maintain silence was part of their "journey" in the lead-up to the conclave.
"The cardinals, as they get more into it, realize the importance of keeping things among themselves," he told reporters.
Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, wrote in a blog post Wednesday that the crackdown was prompted by a report in La Stampa, a daily paper.
"It named names and reported who said what," she wrote.
She compared the consequence to a Catholic school-style group punishment: "One kid talks, and everyone stays after school."
Vatican watchers saw other motives. John Thavis, the veteran Rome bureau chief for the Catholic News Service, said the leak should not have been a surprise.
"This has gone on in every meeting ever convened by the Vatican in the 30 years I've been covering it," said Thavis, author of the new book "The Vatican Diaries." "That's the way Italian journalists work, and Italian cardinals work: 'OK, we're not supposed to talk, but we'll float a few tidbits.' "
Thavis said some cardinals were probably irritated by the good press the US cardinals were generating for themselves by holding the briefings. The Rome daily Il Messaggero, for example, praised the Americans for giving the College of Cardinals a lesson in transparency, he said.
"The US cardinals are like Boy Scouts; they don't break the rules, and they were very clear they aren't giving out the content of the discussions," Thavis said. "But they answered questions in general, about what qualities people were looking for in a pope, about the length of the conclave.
"The Americans were making everybody else look bad," he said.
The clampdown is not a novelty in conclave press relations. In the days before Benedict was selected pope in 2005, the College of Cardinals also made a gentlemen's agreement to stop talking to reporters.
But Wednesday's blackout came as a disappointment to the horde of journalists who have descended on Vatican City. There are some 5,000 here from more than five dozen countries, according to the Vatican. Assigned to cover the secret election of the most important religious leader in the world, they are desperate for any morsel of information.
Each morning, they hound the few cardinals who arrive on foot to the general congregations. Dozens of photographers and reporters lie in wait outside the heavily guarded Pope Paul VI Hall, hoping to scavenge a comment.
The briefings by US cardinals were held in an auditorium at the Pontifical North American College, a tranquil seminary about a 10-minute walk from St. Peter's Square.
The backdrop lent an oddly festive sensibility to the proceeding. Cardinals sat onstage, in red chairs before a turquoise velvet curtain edged with gold fringe, and fielded questions from reporters sitting in plush seats below.
On Monday, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago spoke emphatically about the need for the next pope to embrace a "zero tolerance" policy on sexual abuse. On Tuesday, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, the archbishop of Galveston-Houston, discussed the tension between wanting to return to his diocese in time for Holy Week and not wanting to rush the papal election. O'Malley fielded a question about whether he would wear his "cappuccino robe" if elected pope.
Without the sessions, reporters will rely on the daily updates of official Vatican representatives. Although reporters glean important information from the sessions, the updates tend to be dry and bureaucratic. Walsh said in her blog post that her team would also offer briefings, but without cardinals.
Wednesday afternoon, the North American College was quiet. Rain fell on the manicured orange trees in the courtyard. Strains of organ music drifted into the wet air from behind one of the thick walls.
The cardinals have not yet set an opening date for the conclave.Lisa Wangsness can be reached at email@example.com.

late 13c., "bundle of twigs bound up," from Old French fagot "bundle of sticks" (13c.), of uncertain origin, probably from Italian faggotto, diminutive of Vulgar Latin *facus, from Latin fascis "bundle of wood" (see fasces).
Especially used for burning heretics (emblematic of this from 1550s), so that phrase fire and faggot was used to indicate "punishment of a heretic." Heretics who recanted were required to wear an embroidered figure of a faggot on their sleeve, as an emblem and reminder of what they deserved.
"male homosexual," 1914, American English slang (shortened form fag is from 1921), probably from earlier contemptuous term for "woman" (1590s), especially an old and unpleasant one, in reference to faggot (n.1) "bundle of sticks," as something awkward that has to be carried (cf. baggage "worthless woman," 1590s). It may also be reinforced by Yiddish faygele "homosexual," literally "little bird." It also may have roots in British public school slang fag "a junior who does certain duties for a senior" (1785), with suggestions of "catamite," from fag (v.). This also was used as a verb.
He [the prefect] used to fag me to blow the chapel organ for him. ["Boy's Own Paper," 1889]Other obsolete senses of faggot were "man hired into military service simply to fill out the ranks at muster" (1700) and "vote manufactured for party purposes" (1817).
early spelling of faggot (n.1).
A male homosexual: Hot faggot queens bump up against chilly Jewish matrons/ an amazing job of controlling the faggots
[1914+; origin unknown; perhaps fr fag; perhaps fr faggot, ''woman,'' found by 1591]

Submission + - IBM creates 9nm carbon nanotube transistor (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "IBM has demonstrated a 9nm carbon nanotube transistor (CNT) — the smallest CNT ever made, and significantly smaller than any commercial silicon transistor. At 9nm, IBM's transistor is also smaller than the physical limit of silicon transistors, which is around 11nm. IBM's CNT operates at an ultra low voltage (0.5V), thus consuming less power than its silicon counterparts. The difficulty now, of course, is mass production — but considering other foundries seem to be sticking to silicon for as long as physically possible, if IBM can somehow squeeze out some CNT chips, this might be the edge it needs to challenge Intel for semiconductor supremacy."

The lights are on
Anything that reminds me of LucasArts fantastic point and click adventure Full Throttle or television's Sons of Anarchy immediately gets my attention. Deep Silver and Eutechnyx have done just that with Ride to Hell: Retribution.
Sure, the gameplay is completely different, but it has that same grindhouse tough guy feel. The new screenshots below show off some of the different bike customization options that will be available to players, including handlebars, tires, engines, bodies, and more. You'll be able to take Ride to Hell: Retribution for a spin on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in June.

Taylor Alumnus John Groce Named Head Basketball Coach at IllinoisBy Eric Smith Published: Mar 30, 2012
Taylor University alumnus John Groce was introduced as the new men's basketball coach at the University of Illinois. Groce is the first Taylor graduate to be the head coach of a men's basketball program in the Big Ten Conference.
"I am extremely pleased to introduce John Groce as our men's basketball coach," Illinois Director of Athletics Mike Thomas said. "It became very clear during the process that John is a terrific fit at the University of Illinois. He has won at a high level wherever he has coached and he has some great mentors. John has recruited and coached at the highest level, and I have no doubt he will be an outstanding leader for the young men in our basketball program."
Groce most recently spent four years as the head coach at Ohio University, where he took the Bobcats to a school record 29 wins this past season and to the Sweet 16 as the top story in this year's NCAA Tournament before falling to North Carolina in overtime of the Regional semifinal.
He previously spent time as an assistant coach at Taylor, North Carolina State, Butler, Xavier, and Ohio State.
"I am thrilled to be the basketball coach here and feel like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our family," Groce said. "The Midwest background and values we share makes the University of Illinois a perfect fit for us and we're looking forward to making an impact on the basketball court as well as in the Champaign-Urbana community."
Groce, who received his mathematics degree at Taylor in 1994, spoke highly of his Taylor experience during the press conference.
"Taylor shaped and molded me into who I am as a person first, and then as a coach second, but also as a husband and as a father."
The Indiana native played basketball three years for the Trojans and later coached for three seasons under Taylor head coach Paul Patterson, a NAIA Hall of Famer and the all-time wins leader in Indiana college basketball history with a current total of 713 wins.
"Coach Patterson has been a tremendous mentor to me," Groce said. "Other than my parents, he has impacted me about as much as any male in my life. So I'm thankful for that."
During his time as a player, the Trojans compiled a record of 90-16 and advanced to three NAIA National Tournaments, including a Final Four appearance in 1991.
"This (position) is a testament to John's hard work and who he's been," Patterson said. "He is a guy about excellence and about doing his very best. He has an insatiable desire to learn, so he has surrounded himself with people who he can learn from. We are very proud of John and look forward to following his team at Illinois."
Born in Muncie and a native of Danville, Ind., John and his wife, Allison, have two sons, Conner and Camden.
Groce is among more than 30 of Patterson's former players that are actively coaching at the college or high school levels. Seven of those are head coaches in the college ranks, including Groce, Chris Holtmann (Gardner-Webb University), Steve Brooks (Indiana Wesleyan University women), Chad Tapp (Indiana University South Bend), Scott Polsgrove (Lees-McRae College), and Ty Platt (Huntington University).

Cheap newport cigarettes online free shipping e, stood in the middle of the room. Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick were there, along with Filch, the caretaker, who had taken off his usual brown coat and was wearing a very old and rather moldy- looking tailcoat. There were only three other students, two extremely nervous-looking first years and a sullen-faced Slytherin fifth year.
"Merry Christmas!" said Dumbledore as Harry, Ron
, and Hermione approached the table. "As there are so few of us, it seemed foolish to use the House tables.... Sit down, sit down!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat down side by side at the end of the table.
"Crackers!" said Dumbledore enthusiastically
, offering the end of a large silver noisemaker to Snape, who took it reluctantly and tugged. With a bang like a gunshot, the cracker flew apart to reveal a large, pointed witchs hat topped with a stuffed vulture.
, remembering the boggart, caught Ron's eye and they both grinned; Snape's mouth thinned and he pushed the hat toward Dumbledore, who swapped it for his wizard's hat at once.She removed her sunglasses, closed the book she had been staring at vacantly, and with utmost caution she clasped the child's wrist before he could wipe his hands all over her clothes. "Where's Papa?" she asked him. Without answering, the child opened his eyes wide and went, "Poo, poo," at Miss Su, spitting out saliva in imitation of the goldfish blowing bubbles in the tank in the dining room. Miss Su hastily let go of his arm and pulled out a handkerchief to protect herself. His mother yanked him away, threatening to slap him. Then sighing, she said, "His father is gambling down below. Where else? I can't understand why all men like gambling so much. Just look at the ones on this boat. Every last one of them is gambling his head off. I wouldn't mind so much if it brought in a little something. But my husband, Mr. Sun, he's already gambled away a tidy sum and he just keeps going. It makes me so mad!"

Morning Five: 10.06.10 EditionPosted by rtmsf on October 6th, 2010
- Mike DeCourcy spoke with Kentucky freshman Enes Kanter's father recently, finding that Dr. Mehmet Kanter believes that Turkish basketball officials stating that his son took a salary in cash and benefits while playing for club team Fenerbahce is a smear campaign meant to chill future generations of young Turkish players from bolting overseas to play American college basketball instead of remaining at home. He speaks extensively about the importance of his son obtaining an American collegiate education and points to the family turning down multi-million dollar offers in Turkey as evidence of their sincerity, but what was notably absent from Dr. Kanter's comments was whether his son is looking to play at Kentucky for one year or long enough to get that all-important degree. After all, if we are to believe his assertions about education from the interview, we should expect Enes to stay in Lexington for longer than the next six months, right?
- We appreciate teams that will schedule tough non-conference schedules, especially if they're willing to go on the road to do so. Luke Winn gives us his top ten such schedules, and according to his analysis, John Thompson, III, John Calipari, Rick Barnes, Bruce Pearl and Tom Izzo should be proud of themselves. We're looking forward to quite a few games on those schedules.
- Louisville associate coach director of basketball operations and former WKU/Pitt/Holy Cross head coach Ralph Willard has a pretty sweet new gig if you can get it. He'll be paid $375,000 this season in the first year of a three-year deal where he'll be required to "coach the coaches." One of the coaches he'll be coaching is new Louisville assistant Mark Lieberman, a defensive specialist from Miami who will make about one-seventh the salary as Willard with approximately seventy times as much stress.
- As of this week, new NCAA head honcho Mark Emmert is on the job in Indianapolis, and several of his initial areas of interest relate to academics and how to ensure student-athletes are getting an education as part of their collegiate experience. We have no problem with that in principle, nor do we have any problem with his supposed interest in coming down hard on the rule-breakers in the sport; but we have written in this space before that trying to work a deal with David Stern to turn the NBA Draft into something akin to the MLB model (where a prep player has the option to go to the NBA out of high school, but then has to stay for three years if he goes to college) is an absolute mistake. Get off this, man — there is nothing good that will come from this.
- Here's another first for Frank Martin's Kansas State program — the Big 12 coaches yesterday overwhelmingly put the pressure squarely on his team to win the conference title, earning ten of the twelve first-place votes (coaches cannot vote for their own team). Kansas followed up in second with two first-place votes and Texas came in third. It's interesting to see Colorado come in at ninth — even though head coach Jeff Bzdelik took off for points east, the Buffs still return two of the best players in the conference in Alec Burks and Cory Higgins. The full list is below, and my how Jeff Capel's program has fallen…
Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll
1. Kansas State (10) 119
2. Kansas (2) 109
3. Texas 99
4. Baylor 96
5. Missouri 82
6. Texas A&M 69
7. Texas Tech 52
8. Oklahoma State 51
9. Colorado 46
10. Nebraska 31
11. Oklahoma 27
12. Iowa State 11

Hmm, not sure. This?
F2 > Toolbars > Hide menu bar
Or this?
View > Toolbars > Main bar (toggling in about:config doesn't suffice. If you did, you possible have to click the menu 2x now?)
Or is it simply slid behind another toolbar, and only a litte piece of it is visible yet?
on the view>toolbars menu, there is only Adblock and URL bar.
Tools menu goes like this:Quote
on the view>toolbars menu, there is only Adblock and URL bar.
Oh! I know that...
It probably means there is a macro (kmm) that contains some pesky little syntax error. Well, just a possibility, since that happened to me quite often while building macros. If it's true in your case too, your tools menu is probably half empty too, and privacy menu??
Copy and paste this URL, with some luck it shows the error console:
You must click on the KMM-button to see macro error messages.
Then again, perhaps first try the most obvious and test a new default profile:
Edit > Manage Profiles > Ask at startup
Restart browser, then choose to create a NEW profile.
Your old profile isn't lost, you can switch back to it at every new start. Multiple profiles are very simple with KM.
Since you say you just switched over to KM1.6, you probably have inherited your old profile from KM1.5.4, therefore it's possible that something in it isn't quite compatible with KM1.6 yet.
If not, look at the download page, right below the 1.6beta download is a line: "If you have problems..."

Sorry for the format of the 1st message!
Hi all,
I would like to know how to use an Ejb reference from inside
another Ejb.
For exemple:
Group entity bean
Integer id
String name
String rights
User entity bean
Integer id
String name
String password
Group group
Everything works fine. I can create a Group and then create a
User with a Group assigned to the group field. I can see with
JDataStore Explorer the Group reference in the USER_TABLE in
I'm using a DataModule based on the ESite (supplied with JB5)
model. The java client is also the same as in the ESite. In the
jdbTable the User row contains instead of one column "Group",
three columns "Group.Id", "Group.Name" and "Group.Rights" with
the correct dats of the Group assigned to the User. Until here
all is OK.
My questions are:
1) How can I access the "Group.*" columns. When I try
with "Group.Name" for exemple I get an exception because the
column name does not exist.
2) How can I associate a picklist to the Group column in the
User row in the jdbTable. I have hided the three Group columns
and I have added a new Column to witch I have set the
GroupDataSet to the picklist.
3) How can I change the Group assigned to an existing User? When
I create a new row (User), in the userResolver_create method of
the ServerDataModule, I get the value of the extra column (the
one with the picklist), I find the Group by name and now I can
create the User. And I had to do almost the same in the
userResolver_update method. Is that right?
4) How can I prevent deleting a Group when it is still
referenced by a User?
I know there are many questions, but I would really appreciate
if somebody could help me.
Best regards
PS: I'm using Jbuilder 5 and BAS 4.5.1

Ground-Based GPS Mimic Is Inch Perfect 140
holy_calamity writes "For several years the U.S. Air Force has used WiFi-router-sized boxes on a New Mexico missile range to create a GPS-like service to track munitions to the nearest inch. Now the Australian company behind the technology is rolling it out for civilians. One gold mine is already using the tech and specifications are being released so that GPS receiver manufacturers can adopt the technology. Locata hopes that construction sites, factories and city governments will all want to install their own high accuracy 'location hotspots.'"

The NFL season hasn't started yet, but the Miami Dolphins already have suffered their first defeat. Florida lawmakers ended their 60-day legislative session on Friday without approving a deal that would have provided taxpayer support for a $350 million dollar upgrade to Sun Life Stadium, according to the Miami Herald. Had the legislature approved the deal, the people of Miami-Dade county would have voted on a referendum on May 14. The proposed deal would have raised up to $289 million for renovations by raising the Miami-Dade hotel tax from 6 to 7 percent. The Dolphins would have also had a shot at up to $90 million in state sales tax rebates. The rejected deal all but kills South Florida's hopes of hosting Super Bowl L or Super Bowl LI. The NFL had told the Dolphins that Miami would only be considered as a Super Bowl host if the team had a plan in place to renovate the 26-year-old stadium.

Dolphins stadium bill rejected; Miami Super Bowl bid probably dead

Free "RX" No Way! What's wrong with it? (HELP!!!)
Posted 08 May 2006 - 11:35 PM
Passenger rear window broken, fuel pump not pumping (no big deal got extra pumps, but it only pumps while the key is in the "start" position but not with it in the "on" position.) fuel injectors not getting power at all, ECS light is on when i "rig" it to run. Don't know how to pull codes out of this car. There is something else wrong with this car. It will run, it seems to be on all 4 cylinders. But that is with me just dropping gas right into the intake. (With the "TURBO" thing removed.) #4 was "hydro-locked" with "milkshake" but take the plug out allowed me to get blasted in the face by it. Replacing the spark plugs and dumping gas in there got it to fire and i got it running a little. But it is spitting milkshake under boost into what would be the post-turbo intake if I hadn't taken that "turbo" thing off. Also, the uhm.. PCV port? at the cam cover I think... from the 1-3 side.. spits up some milkshake into the pre-turbo intake..
So what I'm getting at here... is there oil and coolant mixing in or near the turbo somehow? Could any of what I mentioned here be the cause of the injectors not getting power? Is this motor going to need a rebuild to be drivable? Let's here from the EA82T guys!!!
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:02 AM
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:05 AM
As for the problems with fuel, pull the ECU codes. There's instructions in the USRM (see the link at the top of the page)
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:15 AM
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:17 AM
if it's been sitting, let the "milkshake" blow out
my bet is on the ecu being toast, and you can grab one from a xt6 supposedbly
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:22 AM
Does anyone have any concerns about me using the computer out of my 88 RX to test this theory? Could it result in damage to my good computer?
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:23 AM
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:26 AM
but I do have a window.
Passenger side rear for "Rx style" hatch? How much u want for it?
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:27 AM
computer controlls duty cycle of fuel pump, while in "start" it is at 100%, otherwise it runs to maintain pressure as controlled by computer duty cycle
if it's been sitting, let the "milkshake" blow out
my bet is on the ecu being toast, and you can grab one from a xt6 supposedbly
um not exactly. thats how newer vehicles with returnless fuel systems work. not an old RX. The computer does NOT control duty cycle on an EA82T car.
they pump runs full on all the time. the pressure regulator just dumps the extra fuel back into the tank.
before you shotgun the ECM check at the big injector resistor pack to see if it has power or not. the ECM only controls the ground side of the injectors.
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:28 AM
The ECU from an 88 won't work in an 86. Besides from the 86 having a flapper maf instead of the hotwire, there's a few more differences. You're gonna need an ECU from an 86 Turbo
Does anyone have any concerns about me using the computer out of my 88 RX to test this theory? Could it result in damage to my good computer?
Posted 09 May 2006 - 12:36 PM
It flashed in this order: 11, 33, 11, 33, 11, 11, 11, 11, i think you get the point.
So let's get some input on that... and later today I'll get some compression results.
Posted 09 May 2006 - 02:53 PM
Posted 09 May 2006 - 05:23 PM
In 87+, CTS is code 23.
But it's an 86... unless it is different codes because it's turbo?
Posted 09 May 2006 - 06:48 PM
Do you know what the term 'White Elephant' means?
Posted 09 May 2006 - 08:19 PM
(with engine cold)
#1 - 133 , #2 - 133 , #3 - 115 , #4 - 125
I don't have the time to check that stuff right now.. and I don't know what white elephant means...
Posted 09 May 2006 - 09:37 PM
Just seemed fitting. No insult meant.
My 87 RX had the same problem, Exact same problem, with fuel when I first got it.
Hope you can find some time to work on it.

The problem is, no one is sure if Rex can develop into a good head coach. I think he still has a lot of promise, and frankly, even if he gets fired next year, I see him being a head coach again in the NFL at some point.
I was in Baltimore last weekend. I told some of the Raven fans that I was a Jets fan and that I'd be rooting for them to beat NE. They immediately started talking about Rex and how much they loved him. It was odd.
Once again more very obvious stellar things to say about our HC. He's a great guy and I think Woody is a very smart man for having hired him.
All this crap from you "know nothings" is exactly what I just posted. KNOW NOTHING drivel from people who were dumb enough to hang on Rex's words.
Rex said this last season that it was the best team he's ever had. You guys all swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker.
Have you guys ever had the sack to form your own opinion?
In the end, it's your own damn fault you fell for it. Rex protects his players and takes the pressure away from his players.
My advice to you, stop being so damn pi$$y when it was your own stupidity that put you in this predicament.
Sadder news ...there are probably only 12 HC's better.
Great Defensive mind..... that's it.
If you really want leaders, sons of *****es that will win at all costs and lead men into battle per his vision, I don't know how you'd want anyone other than Belichick.
yeah...I side with the coach who groomed Flacco and develops his players to 2 AFC championships and a SB as well as the front office smart enough to pass on REX. I am an arse hole ....
Why won't I side with the 6 and 8 Rex? barely a 500 HC over 4 years regular season.
WOody loves fans who demand mediocrity.
Harbaugh wasn't there when they drafted Lewis, Reed, Suggs, or Ngata.
Btw, are you sure Harbaugh can do more than Rex ever could? Why don't you name the coaches who have done more with a QB as bad as this:
12 TDs/20 INTs/53.8% Comp. Per./8 Fumbles/63.0 rating.
Go ahead, we'll wait.
Also, Terrell Suggs, former DPOY, disagrees with your assessment that "Rex Ryan can't coach up talent."
players like Lewis, Suggs, Reed, Ngata, Revis, Cromartie will flourish under any coach.
I've still yet to see Rex take "scrap heap" guys and make them good players.
Rex can take talented players and put them in a position to allow them to do their thing. But he's not very good at developing talent.
Sanchez's issues fall directly on himself, when guys are open on slants, short crosses, comebacks and screens he consistently misses them...Those are a QB's easiest throws and somehow we found the guy who can't make them...

SAN DIEGO – The architect behind some of Tijuana, Mexico's most recognized landmarks doesn't fit mold of the typical down-on-his luck courier who ferries drugs to the U.S. for Mexican drug cartels.
Eugenio Velazquez awaits sentencing Monday in San Diego for trying to smuggle nearly 13 pounds of cocaine into the U.S. in a special lane for prescreened trusted motorists. A drug sniffing-dog alerted inspectors to five packages hidden in his minivan's battery.
Why would such a highly esteemed architect risk so much?
Velazquez says criminals threatened to kill him and hurt his family if he refused.
The architect's attorney is recommending a sentence of one year of home confinement. Freed on bail, the 51-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Mexico is pressing ahead with plans to build Tijuana's main cathedral.

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic admits he's flattered to be linked with Manchester United.
The Bosnian international stopper is a long-term target of the Red Devils, according to Metro, with the paper claiming Sir Alex Ferguson was monitoring the player last week ahead of a possible summer move.
And, whilst Begovic insists his only concern at the current time is the Potters' form in the Premier League, he admits it's 'nice to hear' about other clubs wanting to sign him.
"I must confess it is nice to hear these things," said Begovic, according to Metro, when asked about the interest of Manchester United.
"It is always nice to hear what others are saying, it means that you are doing a good job. But I have no time to think about this. My only concern is Stoke City as I want to be as good as I can be for my club and for my national team."
The paper goes on to report that Manchester United are considering an £8million bid for the player, with Ferguson still harbouring doubts over his current goalkeeping options.
David de Gea is the current first-choice for the leaders at Old Trafford, whilst Danish international Anders Lindegaard was challenging for the No.1 spot before injury stopped his progress earlier in the campaign.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis has a ready-made replacement at his disposal if Begovic is allowed to leave the Britannia Stadium, with Jack Butland drafted in during the January window.

(MCT) PEORIA — The area's largest hospital system is teaming up with the state's largest health care insurer, gambling they can save money by improving the quality of health care — a proposition that's driving most of the major innovations and issues in health care.
OSF Healthcare System and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois will announce Thursday they're forming an accountable care organization, or ACO.
In 2012, OSF Healthcare was selected as one of the first 32 systems in the country to pioneer a new, more accountable way to deliver health care to Medicare patients. The commercial ACO agreement with Blue Cross will be similar to OSF Healthcare's public ACO with the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services.
As with the federal ACO, the agreement with Blue Cross basically makes OSF Healthcare and its network of physicians and other providers responsible for the results. If patients show improved outcomes, such as reductions in unnecessary duplication of services, emergency room visits or hospital readmissions and increases in overall patient satisfaction, OSF Healthcare receives incentives and bonuses based on the shared savings expected to occur. If savings don't occur, OSF Healthcare loses money.
Bob Sehring, OSF Healthcare's chief ministry services officer, who is responsible for the system's accountable care organizations, prefers to call ACOs an investment rather than a gamble.
"At the end of the day, we're more involved on the risk side than we have been before," he said. "In the past we were paid for each service we provided. Now we're focused on providing the right care to the right patient at the right time in the right setting."
The ACO begins Jan. 1, 2014, and involves about 40,000 people covered under Blue Cross' PPO, or preferred provider organization, who have been identified as receiving most of their care from OSF Healthcare facilities and physicians in Peoria, Pontiac, Bloomington, Galesburg and Rockford.
"They can go anywhere they want. It's OSF Healthcare's job to make sure they don't want to go anywhere else," said Bill Patten, divisional vice president of professional network management at Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Because most PPOs are self-funded, Patten expects clients to save money, also.
Patients will see the benefits of enhanced care, according to Sehring, particularly the five percent, or 2,000, with multiple chronic conditions who account for an inordinate share of health-care costs.
It is OSF Healthcare's first commercial ACO and Blue Cross' second. The insurer created an ACO with Advocate Healthcare, the state's largest hospital network, in 2011. The partnership also expands on an earlier pay-for-performance relationship between OSF Healthcare and Blue Cross.
In each case, officials said results of quality-of-care measurements and cost-savings were encouraging. Both OSF Healthcare and Blue Cross said they expect to form more ACOs, respectively, with other insurers or other hospital systems.
Part of the trend to form ACOs comes from the health care reform law, also known as Obamacare, and its emphasis on coordinating care and reducing costs.
"It's perhaps the last best chance to change the way we finance health care today," Sehring said. "The growth of health care costs over the last 20 years is unsustainable."
Sehring said he didn't see how the partnership would add fodder to an anti-trust lawsuit against OSF Healthcare filed by Methodist Medical Center, now known as UnityPoint Health-Methodist. The lawsuit claims OSF Healthcare has locked UnityPoint Health-Methodist out of business with major insurers.
"The agreement with Blue Cross was in the works before that," Sehring said. "Quite frankly, we think it's (the ACO partnership) the right thing to do for our patients and Blue Cross members."

Swimming Science Article:
Long Course vs. Short Course
Some quotes...
'The most obvious difference between a short and long course is the number of turns: SCY races are a series of events joined together to form a single race. A swimming phase followed by a turning phase followed by an underwater kicking phase. Although the same can be said for LCM swimming, the duration of the swimming phases in SCY swimming are very different (Skinner). Because swimmers alternate different phases more frequently during short course swimming, the swimming portion can occur at a higher velocity, not only due to breaks but also because swimmers achieve the highest velocity off the turns (assuming the turn is not horrible).'
'Skinner adds, [a] common denominator in long course race analysis (USA athletes) is the constant stroke rate degradation that occurs on every lap of every race. It is the extreme exception when I see an athlete maintain their stroke rate across the pool, and in some cases there is a significant drop off in stroke rate during the second half of each lap of the race. The bottom line here is the fact that the athlete is unable to sustain their neural function all the way across the pool and this leads to significant losses that arent that easy to see.
Keskinen (2007) formally studied different pool lengths (SCM and LCM) and noted the following differences:
- Significantly higher blood lactate levels for the 50m pool compared to 25m at each point of curve comparing swimming velocity with blood lactate.
- Heart rate values were significantly higher LCM.
- Maximum swimming velocity was significantly higher in 25m pool owing to the turns.
- The turning benefit via SCM correlated with the difference in maximal speed, difference in maximal force in tethered swimming baseline test, and the difference in countermovement jump performance. (Related to dryland jump performance, note also Potdevin (2011), finding a positive effect of plyometric training on starts and turns, but not on kicking propulsion.)'

Story highlights
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross first named 5 grief stages to help with death, says Peggy Drexler
- She says Christie's casting himself as victim, invoking grief stages over scandal, is a first
- Drexler: He spoke of own humiliation, sadness. Left out those affected by traffic tie-up
- Drexler: "Seek sympathy," "blame others" are not stages, but "ask forgiveness" works
Esteemed psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross spent much of her career working with terminally ill patients and the anxiety many of them expressed in the face of their impending death. Her experience and interactions with hundreds of them formed the basis for "On Death and Dying," a groundbreaking 1969 book. In it, she outlined the five stages she believed those nearing death endured—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, lastly, acceptance—and suggested strategies for helping them and their families cope. Her work was monumental within the field in part because the emotional needs of those dealing with death had for so long been avoided. It would not be for much longer.
Which is perhaps what makes New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's hijacking of Kübler-Ross' grief cycle for his own gains so egregious. As he faced the press in an unending press conference held Thursday after a scandal that jammed traffic on the George Washington Bridge for four days blew up on his administration, Christie issued a series of halfhearted mea culpas. He asked not for the public's forgiveness but for pity.
"You can only imagine as I was standing there in my bedroom looking at my iPad how sad and betrayed I felt," he said. "I'm heartbroken about it and I'm incredibly disappointed. I don't think I've gotten to the anger stage yet, but I'm sure I'll get there."
In his telling, he, too, after all, was a victim, just like the thousands of commuters—including schoolchildren--who endured hours trapped in their cars somewhere between New York and New Jersey. Just like 91-year-old Florence Genova, who died after paramedics who were stuck in traffic reached her. (Christie, while expressing regret, could not help but note, "I've also heard conflicting reports about the cause of death.")
In fact, at his new conference, he characterized himself as "heartbroken," "sad," "humiliated," "betrayed;" referring again and again to the stages of grief he was struggling through. Oh, and did he mention he was "very sad?"
"On Death and Dying" had a profound impact on psychology and society. It led to a greater emphasis on counseling and hospice care for dying patients and their families, and inspired Kübler-Ross to devote the remainder of her years in clinical practice to the dying, including AIDS patients and children in particular. In subsequent years, of course, Kubler-Ross' grief cycle has been applied to countless other traumatic situations, including losing a job, going bankrupt and ending a relationship, all of which can carry fair amounts of grief and require coping.
But this may be the first time her work has been used as a political strategy. The situation that forced Christie to an accounting before the cameras was traumatic, but not for him. Despite his claims, he wasn't actually a victim. Nor was he convincingly contrite about either the cause or the effect of the actions that occurred at the behest of the staffers in his administration and on his watch, as he piled most of the blame on his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly (he described her as "stupid").
Nowhere among Kübler-Ross' stages, it should be noted, is "seek sympathy," "blame others," or "do whatever it takes to clear your name." In fact, if the governor is looking for some more situation-appropriate stages to pass through, he might consider turning to his Catholic upbringing for a guide. Among the church's steps to a good confession: Be truly sorry. Examine your conscience. Express sorrow for the sin. Resolve not to commit it again.
Lastly, ask for forgiveness.

Carl Froch is already eyeing up his next opponent after defeating Mikkel Kessler, the American Andre Ward.
Froch, who added the WBA title to his IBF Crown on Saturday, will attempt to exert revenge on Ward after his defeat in December 2011.
He told The Sun: "I said before the Kessler fight that the winner should really be concentrating on moving on and my only other loss was against pound-for-pound No 2 in the world Andre Ward.
"What a fantastic fighter he is and a great, great champion, but he is there to be beaten."
Froch has only been beaten twice in his career, by Saturday's opponent Kessler and by Ward, but the Englishman hopes that he can successfully overturn both those defeats.
"If I could avenge the Andre Ward loss, can you imagine that?
"The only two people to beat me are Mikkel and Andre Ward. To beat those two would be something dreams are made of." Froch added.
The 35-year old is undefeated on home soil, having lost twice out of six fights on the road. Understandably, Froch is keen for the potential fight against Ward to be in England.
"I went over to America to fight him last time and now let's get him over to England.
"He's living in cloud cockoo land if he thinks I'm going to fight him there again. Ward needs me more than I need him."
Andre Ward, who was in attendance at the O2 Arena to watch Froch defeat Kessler, was stripped of his WBC title earlier this year after undergoing shoulder surgery.
The American has answered back to Froch's comments and seems open to the idea of a rematch.
"If Eddie Hearn and Carl Froch really want the fight, they can call my manger and let's talk about it." Ward stated.
"His record is 4-2 on the road and he is undefeated in England, so I know why he wants to fight me here.
The UK is not out of the question so pick your phone up and let's talk about it if you're serious," he added.

While New Bedford has made significant strides in keeping students in school, its four-year graduation rate took a step backward last year, according to data released by the state Thursday.
While New Bedford has made significant strides in keeping students in school, its four-year graduation rate took a step backward last year, according to data released by the state Thursday.
The city's dropout rate declined for the fourth straight year, with 6.8 percent of students leaving school in 2011-12, according to the state's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. That's down from a high of 10.4 percent in 2004-05.
New Bedford was one of five urban communities singled out by the state for taking the biggest bites out of their dropout rates. Overall, New Bedford had 88 fewer students leaving school last year than five years ago.
While the dropout rate was going down, so was the percentage of students who graduated after four years of high school. That number declined from 56.4 percent in 2011 to 55.0, one of the lowest percentages for any public school district in the state.
Interim Superintendent Michael Shea said he plans to sit down and analyze the numbers today.
"I'd like to see it better but as long as we're improving that's a good thing," he said of the dropout rate. "I'm very pleased with the number of programs New Bedford does offer to keep kids in school."
Mayor Jon Mitchell said the dropout rate was improving even before significant changes were implemented this year that he hopes will keep the momentum going.
"We had a change in leadership that was meant to address a number of challenges, including the dropout rate," Mitchell said. "The most significant development has been the change in attendance policy. We've made real progress."
The mayor said he is not focusing on incremental changes in the numbers but taking a longer view.
"We've made some major improvements in the school system this academic year, but it will take a few years to claim we've actually succeeded," he said.
On the graduation rate, Shea said: "The bottom line is 55 percent is not a good number. We've got to look at why. If you look at the retention rate in ninth grade, it's very high. When they're held back, they're not part of that cohort that graduates in four years.
"My question is: Where are those kids? Are they still in school? There are fewer kids dropping out, so if they're taking an extra year to graduate, I don't have a problem with that."
Statewide, the four-year graduation rate improved for the sixth straight year with gains among black, Hispanic and high-needs students outpacing other groups.
Gov. Deval Patrick said that while the 84.7 percent four-year graduation rate is welcome, the state has to keep building on the improving numbers.
Some of the biggest graduation gains came from Hispanic students whose graduation rate improved nearly 4 percentage points to 65.5 percent and students with disabilities, whose graduation rate improved by 3 percentage points to 68.6 percent.
African-American graduation rates also improved by nearly 3 percentage points to 73.4 percent.
The state's annual dropout rate declined to 2.5 percent. That's the fourth consecutive year below 3 percent.
Last year's improvement in the state's dropout rate meant that 843 fewer students dropped out in 2011-12 than during the previous year, and 4,385 fewer students dropped out than in 2006-07, when the annual dropout rate was at a high mark of 3.8 percent.

Noise Extraction and Brewing
From Noisebridge
(Redirected from Noise Tower)
Noisebridge Extraction and Brewing[edit]
Available (or soon to be available) Setups[edit]
Note: All equipment is made from lab grade borosilicate glass
Noise Tower "Little John"[edit]
- 3L 5 neck round bottom flask (24/40 joints and 29/42 joints)
- 3L heating mantle
- Variac for heating mantle control
- Vacuum jacketed distilling column w/ ~0.4" internal diameter
- Beryl saddle packing for distilling column
- "Thumper" to fit 0.5" glass joints
- 0.5" distilling head with ball valve reflux control
- 0.5" high efficiency condenser
- 0.5" distillation receiver and connecting glass
Noise Tower "Friar Tuck"[edit]
- 22L 5 neck round bottom flask (29/42 joints and 45/50 joints)
- 22L heating mantle
- 1 Variac for heating mantle control
- A second Variac is needed!
- 6 stage 1" inner diameter plate distillation column (no packing needed)
- 1" inner diameter distilling adapter with needle valve reflux control
- 1" inner diameter coil condenser
- No receiver is available for this size, but the distilling adapter ends in a 0.75" compression fitting, so something could be fashioned if needed
- No thumper is available for this size
Purification / Aging Equipment[edit]
- 6L capacity glass frit filters (used to support a packed carbon bed)
- 500mL capacity glass frit filters
- 2x 19L glass carboys for storage/cleanup w/ rubber plugs
- No activated carbon is available in the space
- Filtering through the glass frits without using vacuum takes forever...we should probably devise a better solution
- Potential better idea: construct a column out of pvc pipe with a hose barb at the bottom. Carbon granules must be big enough to do this though
- Some means to stir the contents of the carboys for aging would be awesome
Condenser Loop Equipment[edit]
- We need to buy an aquarium pump and enough adapters to allow 1/4" ID flexible tubing to attach to the pump
Test and Monitoring Equipment[edit]
- 6x hydrometers for rating specific gravities from 0.8 - 0.95 in 0.001 increments
- 2x K type thermocouples w/ glassware adapters.
- 2 channel battery operated thermocouple display
- We need a glass sample cylinder
Brewing Equipment[edit]
- 2x 19L glass carboys for w/ rubber plugs
- No Turbo-yeast is available in the space
- No Airlocks available
- No temperature control equipment is available in the space. This could become a problem when we try to make large batches, but maybe it won't
- Currently, mouth siphoning is the only way to move liquid from vessel to vessel - this is a sterility concern for brewing
Safety Equipment[edit]
- Silicone mat for "Little John" tower
- A heat proof platform needs to be made for the "Friar Tuck" tower to prevent accidentally burning the floor
- We needz a dedicated fire entinguisher for the setup - it can be a tiny one, but it should be rated for electrical fires

CAF Slightly Improves Survival for High-Risk Localized Breast Cancer Patients
Adjuvant chemotherapy chemotherapy administered to prevent the recurrence of cancer after surgery has been an important contributor to improved survival rates for many breast cancer patients. This study compared the newer chemotherapy regimen CAF (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, and 5-fluorouracil) to the standard CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil).
The results of this large, phase III intergroup trial involving nearly 4,000 patients demonstrated that there was a statistically significant higher survival rate in women with localized breast cancer at high risk of recurrence that received the CAF regimen. In addition, the study demonstrated the benefit of adding tamoxifen to chemotherapy in patients whose breast cancers expressed estrogen hormone receptors, which are present in the majority of postmenopausal woman with breast cancer. Most importantly, the researchers were able to identify a group of patients with breast cancer which measured between 1 and 2 centimeters in diameter who did very well after surgery, without the addition of either chemotherapy regimen.

The Sandusky Daily Star, in its February 20, 1901 issue, reported that when Andrew Carnegie gave his "handsome gift" to Sandusky to be used for the purpose of building a public library, one of his stipulations was that the library should have a music hall and an organ, and efforts were to be made to have free musical recitals for the community on a regular basis. The Carnegie Library had its grand opening on July 3, 1901. The musical hall held 338 people, and was known as "Carnegie Hall."
One of the earliest groups to sponsor concerts at Sandusky's Carnegie Hall was the Tuesday Musical Club. The composer Beethoven was featured on the January 21, 1902 concert. It appears that the entertainment was provided by local musicians. The string quartet was composed of Miss Heiter, Mr. Dempsey, Mr. Schnaitter, and Mr. Anderson. Mary Lockwood and Mr. Anderson had solo numbers, and the final number was "Symphony, C. Minor" which was performed by Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Feick, Miss Stoll, and Mrs. Sloane. Anna G. Lockwood was the President of the Tuesday Musical Club during the 1901-1902 season. Miss Lockwood (Shown below in her 1888 Sandusky High School graduation photo) would go on to teach piano at the Institute of Musical Art, later known as The Juilliard School in New York City.
Besides musical events, Carnegie Hall was used for political, social, and other cultural activities. In December, 1903, Professor Edwin Earle Sparks gave a lecture about Alexander Hamilton, and also presented a short study of the U.S. Constitution at Carnegie Hall. In January 1905, Hewson Peeke and F. G Strickland participated in a lively debate at Carnegie Hall. Hewson Peeke's premise was: "Resolved that the Prohibition party presents a better solution of the labor problem than the Socialist party." Mr. Strickland was a member of the Socialist Party. The January 21, 1905 Sandusky Star Journal wrote that about two-thirds of the crowd in attendance were in support of Mr. Strickland.
Area clubs and organizations often met at Carnegie Hall. In January of 1905, the Knights of St. John and its Ladies Auxiliary had their joint installation of officers at Carnegie Hall. In January, 1908, a new club called the "Children of the Republic" held a preliminary meeting at Carnegie Hall. Several ladies from the Martha Pitkin Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution wanted to help young people in Sandusky to learn how to become good citizens. Speakers for the evening were Mrs. Thomas M. Sloane, Mrs. James Melville, Mrs. Roy Williams, and Dr. Carrie Chase Davis. The annual meeting of the Erie County Farm Bureau held one of its sessions at Carnegie Hall in February, 1920. The Firelands Historical Society held an all day session at Carnegie Hall on November 10, 1920.
By 1929, the space in the auditorium on the first floor of the Library would become an adult reading room with additional space for books and shelves. Though the library no longer features a music hall, you can read about the early days of the Sandusky Library in the historical newspapers, housed on microfilm in the Archives Research Center of the Sandusky Library. The music hall of the original Carnegie library building in Sandusky is now a portion of the Children's Services Area of the Sandusky Library.

Carnegie Hall at the Sandusky Library

What a wonderful idea more than a century ago to combine a library with a music hall and organ.
The Tuesday Musical Club must have been quite the thing then.
Cannot help feeling that we should have followed your lead and combined learning, study and reading for pleasure with musical evenings.
Nobody to could then say: "Hush!"

They're Called 'Scabs' for a Reason
Oct. 5, 2012 | …When Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously said, "Labor cannot, on my terms, surrender the right to strike," he acknowledged that working people have only one weapon at their disposal–i.e., withholding their labor. Workers can scream and argue all they like, but without the threat of withholding their labor, they have no leverage…Strikes are perfectly legal; they've been around for a couple of hundred years and are recognized all over the western world. But if hitting the bricks is tantamount to economic suicide, it practically gives businesses free rein, which, with the middle class melting away like the earth's glaciers, is the last thing we need. Striker replacement legislation would make a tremendous difference. It would unshackle the American worker. It would liberate him, energize, inspire him. Guaranteeing workers the right to return to their jobs would not only level the playing field, it would change the whole ballgame.
