The exhibition New Heimat at the Frankfurter Kunstverein was conceived in cooperation with the Frobenius Institute (Institute for Ethnography) at the Goethe University. It documents how the phenomenon of globalization does not necessarily lead to the disappearance of local cultures, but can instead give birth to new, hybrid cultures, in which Western influences experience transformation and traditional cultures are assimilated. The catalogue presents works that subject the phenomenon of globalization to a productive revision, and investigates the hallmarks of mobility and integration in a postcolonial world.

I hesitate to label this piece as "opinion," because it is fact -- rather than one's editorial opinion -- that the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) contains indefinite detention without trial provisions which violate a shocking number of Constitutional and international civil rights protections.
These imprisonment without trial provisions were drafted by a bipartisan group in Congress, and then quietly signed into law by President Obama on New Year's Eve -- after his administration withdrew an earlier veto threat on NDAA.
The lack of media coverage of this historic event has been stunning, and as awareness of the NDAA grows online, some individuals are seeking clarity as to what laws, specifically, are violated by the NDAA's indefinite detention provisions.
The video segment below gives you a brief, two-minute rundown on the legal specifics, and the rights violated by the NDAA. Special thanks to the National Lawyers Guild; I've relied heavily on their analysis for this piece. Also, other leading legal and civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch (HRW) have come to similar conclusions about the NDAA's unconstitutionality and threat to our democratic values.
At time of publication, multiple bills have been proposed in the House which would seek to "de-claw" or repeal the most egregious portions of the NDAA. The public's support of such bills is, in my view, crucial at this time.

The Hungarian First League ended with a fourth title for Győri ETO FC, their first since 1983. They almost made it a maiden double, but lost to Debreceni VSC in the Hungarian Cup final. Ferencvárosi TC ended a nine-year silverware drought with a League Cup triumph and there was success in Europe for Videoton FC, who fell just short of the UEFA Europa League round of 32.
Champions: Győri ETO FC
Coach Attila Pintér captured the league crown with Ferencváros in 2004 and repeated the trick with Győr as they hit the front early and never looked back. A 22-match unbeaten run in the top flight provided the bedrock, meaning high-scoring defeats in the spring to Paksi SE and Kecskeméti TE came too late for the chasers to capitalise and the title was heading to Gyor with three games to spare.
Cup final: Győri ETO FC 1-2 Debreceni VSC
Two goals from Adamo Coulibaly secured a sixth Hungarian Cup for Debrecen and denied Pintér's men a first double. A historic night for Győr's championship-winning team seemed on the cards when Nemanja Andrić gave his side a first-half lead, but Coulibaly looped the ball into the far right corner via a deflection after the break, before drilling in with a few minutes to go.
European places*
Győri ETO FC – UEFA Champions League second qualiifying round
Videoton FC – UEFA Europa League first qualifying round
Budapest Honvéd FC – UEFA Europa League first qualifying round
Debreceni VSC – UEFA Europa League second qualifying round
*subject to final confirmation from UEFA
Player of the year: Dániel Böde (Ferencvárosi TC)
The 26-year-old was an ever-present in his first season at the club and his 17 goals in 30 appearances caught the eye of Hungary coach Sándor Egervári, who handed the forward a debut against Belarus. The coach was rewarded when the rookie grabbed a crucial equaliser during his second match, a FIFA World Cup qualifier away to Turkey.
One to watch: István Kovács (Videoton FC)
The prodigiously talented attacking midfielder impressed after his move from Szombathelyi Haladás last summer, earning a call-up to the senior national side. The 21-year-old's direct running, movement and trickery left defenders chasing shadows and he capped a fine season with a goal of the season contender, a long-distance strike against Budapest Honvéd FC.
Surprise package: Budapest Honvéd FC
At the start of March a 4-0 defeat by Videoton left Honvéd languishing in eighth. Yet amid adversity they triumphed. Boosted by the introduction of youth from the club's feted academy, Marco Rossi's team recorded seven wins in their last ten matches to claim third spot from under the noses of MTK Budapest.
Leading scorer: Adam Coulibaly, Debreceni VSC (18)
Relegated: BFC Siófok, Egri FC
Promoted: Puskás Akadémia FC, Mezőkövesd-Zsóry
Number: 4
The champions underlined their dominance by topping four of the five points tables favoured among Hungarian statisticians to chart the season. As well as the overall league tally, Pintér's team also picked up the most points at home, the most points away from home and were autumn champions. The fifth accolade, that of spring champions, was denied them only by goal difference.
"I hope everyone realises the effort it took to regain the league championship after 30 years. This success is not just the team's, but the supporters' too. Everyone knows that we achieved this together."
Pintér after his side clinched the title.

Anna Dawson is on a mission to help communities of local food growers and cooks create their own healthy convenience foods (frozen & vacuum packaged) at community Harvest Kitchens. Here cooks work together to preserve the excess harvest to facilitate locavore creativity and whole food enjoyment throughout the year.
Anna is challenging the farm-to-table-sustainable-agriculture-graduate-blogger-tweeter to take their passion to the next level. She's recruiting those bright-eyed creatives looking to make their mark to join us in building the next logical step in community resilience and sustainable food design: a harvest kitchen 50 miles in every direction! Now is the time to birth a community food processing network that includes canning and the production of frozen quick SLOW food products – food that's quick to prepare, yet respects SLOW food values.
The problem(s):
Farm marketers often fail to sell all the food they bring to the market. In fact, the NY Times caught on to the GLUT of farmers markets and how they are cannibalizing each other's audiences. Farmers' options are to give the food away, feed it to farm animals or compost it. Few small-scale farmers and market gardeners, busy caring for crops, harvesting, distributing and selling their products, have the time, energy and certified kitchen to preserve their crops. There are simply not enough affordable spaces for small scale food processing.
Furthermore, many successful CSA farms provide great shares of food to members, who at the end of the week can't use all of their share and end up letting it spoil – which typically leads to their backing out of membership in the future.
Most culinary incubator kitchens focus on producing canned, acidified fruit and vegetable products (pickles, jam, chutneys), dried and baked products. Few vacuum packaged (cryovaced) frozen fruits, vegetable or convenience products are seen in grocery stores or at farm markets. Cryovacing food is actually the process of removing air and sealing frozen veggies, fruit purees, soups, meats, cooked beans and whole grains in plastic bags. The food's extended life using this process is different than bag freezing without vacuum sealing. This food quality enhancing process is just not being used creatively…
Thousands of pounds of food should be purchased from farmers to increase their income from the "excess," unsold foods rescued and re-redirected to be "put-up" year round as components for future, healthy, frozen and vacuum packaged meal components when added to commercial kitchen repertoires. Time starved consumers would welcome the ease of preparation, the high quality and reduced waste of frozen "quick, slow foods" made from local products that are easy to access via internet ordering and group delivery to community sites such as schools or churches. LocalHarvest.org gets it!
The solution: Harvest Kitchen Network + Instruction
A small scale Harvest Kitchen focused on freezing and vacuum packaging would combine local dairy products, meats, whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices into convenience products for families and small group feeding situations.
Bi-weekly internet or phone ordering and group delivery can make these products reasonably priced and provide a new market for small and mid-scale farmers for excess or unsold product. These Harvest Kitchens, managed by culinary entrepreneurs familiar with local whole food options, are to be located within economical distance from each other to give the Network of farmers and citizen consumers cheaper access to a Kitchen.
The products are to be whole foods-based, minimally processed, nutritionally analyzed and designed to prevent food related diseases (NOTE: not "illnesses" but "diseases"). Foods can be purchasd from farmers committed to nutrient dense farming. Efficiently frozen fruits and vegetables from regional distributors can also be used – thus adding to the market for larger farms. By creating a network and expanding the model, it becomes cost-effective for producers and market sellers to provide nutrition and cooking education to Harvest Kitchen product consumers through websites and community group presentations.
We know people are waiting for someone like Anna to facilitate the formation of Harvest Kitchens in their 20C Ag. & Mkts.-approved facilities. Anna's lifetime knowledge of farming, twelve years of food processing experience and her 26 years experience cooking and teaching home economics brings a special depth and skill to the Harvest Kitchen potential. Whether you want to form a community cooperative or a private harvest kitchen business, Anna will help with kitchen design and equipment selection, recipe development, supply acquisition, nutritional analysis and flexible, low cost packaging. She will provide an internet education and internship experience for future Harvest Kitchen managers. You do the rest to bring together the farmers and exisiting local food businesses to build a viable local food system that provides jobs and healthy food for all involved.

As I read through the comment threads of various posts, I notice an occasional topic that comes up is interviewers at lower ranked school being resentful toward highly qualified candidates. I have on occasion seen this given as an explanation for why some exceptionally well qualified person did not get an interview, on-campus or offer. There is a dimension to this which seems to never be fully appreciated: on-campus interview resources are quite scarce. We cannot bring out more than four people. If we make an offer to someone, and they turn us down, then we have only the remaining three to choose from, then two, then one, then none. And if we do not hire anyone, it means we will probably lose the line, and have a reduced chance of obtaining or retaining lines in the future. This means that we simply cannot afford to fill the short list with the people we want the most; we must have fallbacks that we can be fairly confident will accept an offer. Despite our efforts to rule out people who are utterly impossible for us to get, every search I've participated in since my hire has led to an offer that was refused. Every. Single. One. In each case, we had eliminated even better people on the assumption that they could not be had, and still we overreached. In every case the candidate we made the first offer to made a great show of how excited they were by our job, until they had another offer in hand (or, in one case, used our offer to negotiate for better pay from the place they preferred).Yes. Hope does spring eternal.
We want excellent people. We want this very much. But we also don't want to lose the line and thereby initiate a slow death-spiral for our department. I don't want to deny that there are occasionally tinges of resentment that some committee members express toward some specific candidates, but my impression is that this is far less the case than one might think. The market will segment itself in any case, and so we make that process more efficient by not wasting people's time on interaction that won't go anywhere in any case, on candidates who do not *need* any help from us.
This year, I tried an experiment. Instead of simply viewing the candidates from the perspective of my own judgments of desirability, I made a mechanical ranking of them according to the Leiter number of their pedigree, and then tried to come up with a comparable ranking for jobs, using Leiter ranking, and when that gives out, US News ranking. All very imprecise of course, but I was merely trying to measure a collective fantasy anyway. Then I paired off candidates to jobs, working from the top down. We had 70 applicants for our position. Once I eliminated both people whose AOS/AOC didn't match what we were looking for anyway, and people who would take better offers elsewhere, the list reduced to six candidates. Since it seemed silly to go to the APA for only six interviews, we added three to the list, but these were therefore people I had already judged to be "ungettable." I should clarify that this procedure did not control our list, but the other members of the committee ended up with almost exactly the same list using non-mechanical criteria. While at the APA, one of these three indicated that she already had stellar on-campus interviews lined up and wasn't really interested in us anymore; another one has already appeared in an online announcement as giving a talk at one of the stellar hiring departments. We knew that interviewing them was a waste of time, and indeed it was. However, I'm sure that some stars we didn't even interview at the APA will conclude that we "resent" them or feel "threatened" by them. Honestly, we don't. We just can't afford to waste the resources on recruiting them. If we have done anything wrong over the years, it is overreach, because hope springs eternal.

New York City has a long tradition of asserting ownership of things it did not invent. Pizza is from Naples, the skyscraper from Chicago and attitude from, well, I'm sure the citizens of Babylon had that. When New Yorkers see something useful, they don't borrow, they take. Look what happened to the cocktail. By the third decade of the 19th century, every American knew two things about this popular morning tipple: one, that it was made by dissolving sugar in water and adding a slug of liquor and a "shade" of bitters; and two, that it was an American creation.
But in fact, as far back as the 1690s, the London apothecary Richard Stoughton had been advertising his Magnum Elixir Stomachicum, or "Great Stomach-Elixir," a concoction that was "of a very delicate Flavour (tho' bitterish Taste)" and, of course, useful for just about anything that ailed you. However, Stoughton's "bitter," as it was popularly known, did its best work when a teaspoon of it was taken in a glass of Canary wine or sherry the morning after a night of drinking. Since those wines were both fortified with brandy and sweetened, we have the mixological equivalent of the cocktail right there. By the middle of the 18th century, a certain—rather disreputable—class of London drinker had learned to replace the wine with brandy or the foul English gin of the day, both of which were also likely to have been sweetened.
Not even the name "cocktail" seems to be fully American. A 1798 bit of satirical humor from a London newspaper, a fictitious transcription of the bar tabs some political figures of the day supposedly ran up at a Downing Street public house, includes among them a listing for "cocktail, (vulgarly called ginger)." This is unlikely to be our cocktail, since the price listed for it is so low as to preclude any spirits being in it, but it nonetheless brings the name into the orbit of pub drinks, five years before we hear of a drink called "cock-tail" in America.
In America, however, the drink and the name came together, never to be sundered. Although the booze-bitters-sugar "cock-tail" saw print in 1806, in a newspaper from Hudson, New York, a hundred-odd miles upriver from New York City, there were other versions that included extra ingredients or left out essential ones. It was in Manhattan that, like so many other provincial newcomers, the cocktail found its true self. In the hands of bartenders such as Orsamus Willard of the City Hotel, Cato Alexander, a freed slave who owned a coaching inn in the wilds of what is now the Upper East Side, and Sherwood "Shed" Sterling of the magnificent Astor House Hotel, this obscure morning anti-fogmatic became one of the cornerstones of drinking in New York and then across the country. By 1820, the drink was circulating throughout the city, referred to in the newspapers without need for explanation.
From a hangover cure, the cocktail evolved into a pick-me-up, an aperitif, an anytime-drink. Raw New England rum or Monongahela whiskey gave way to imported French Cognac or, the city's favorite, Dutch gin. Once cheap ice became available in New York the cocktail got iced, and by the 1840s, the New York cocktail had even picked up such fancy touches as dashes of absinthe and twists of lemon peel. Finally, a decade or so after the Civil War, as if to acknowledge the increasingly cosmopolitan place the city had become, this still-simple formula began incorporating Italian or French vermouth, yielding a Metropole Cocktail (with brandy), a Turf Club Cocktail (with gin) or, of course, a Manhattan (with whiskey).
By that time, the cocktail was a national drink—the epitome of American mixology. But it still had a special place in the hearts of New York City drinkers. There's something about the quick, cold snap of a well-made cocktail that fits Gotham's pace. The recipe I've included is for the cocktail as it was when it first captured the hearts and livers of New York drinkers, made with either genever—Dutch gin—or French brandy, and served on ice. If you want to replace the sugar and water with a teaspoon or so of rich simple syrup (two parts sugar and one part water), stir the drink with ice and strain it into a chilled coupe, well, that's just what New Yorkers did to it once the city started to really jump, back around 1850.
Cocktail, New York Style
1 cube Demerara sugar
½ oz. water
3 dashes aromatic bitters (such as Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged Bitters or The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters) or Angostura bitters
2 oz. Bols genever or Cognac
Ice cubes
Tools: muddler, barspoon
Glass: Old Fashioned or small tumbler
In an Old Fashioned glass or other small tumbler, muddle a cube of Demerara sugar (or a teaspoon of loose Demerara) with ½ an ounce of water and 3 dashes of bitters. Add 1 or 2 large ice cubes and 2 ounces of genever or Cognac. Stir and serve. Optional: Add 1 or 2 dashes (the kind of dashes you'd get from a bitters bottle) of absinthe into the glass and twist a swatch of thinly cut lemon peel over the top, not forgetting to rub the peel around the rim of the glass.

AMERICUS - Johathan Brooks posted his fifth double-double of the season by scoring 22 points and grabbing 13 rebounds to help Georgia Southwestern remain undefeated and lead the 24th-ranked Hurricanes to a 105-100 victory over Clark Atlanta University on Wednesday evening in the Storm Dome.
GSW improved its record to 8-0, which continues to extend the best start in program history since Southwestern joined the NCAA in 2006-07. Clark Atlanta dropped to 2-4. The Panthers never led in the contest.
The Hurricanes started the game scoring in a unique way, with the first 14 points being contributed by seven different players. In the third minute, after Alan Arnett's second free throw, GSW held its largest lead of the game at 15 points. Brooks and Jamon Hawkins led Southwestern offensively over the opening 20 minutes with 14 and 10 points, respectively. At the half, GSW led Clark Atlanta by 13 points, 56-43.
The Panthers gave the Hurricanes a run for their money in the second period. By the 9:22 mark, CAU had trimmed the GSW lead to two. In an attempt to catch up and beat the Hurricanes, the Panthers started fouling down six, 99-93, with 1:14 left. Sending Arnett to the line, where he broke the 100 point barrier for the Hurricanes. Of GSW's last seven points, five were from the free throw line. CAU had two chances to tie the game with 3-pointers in the closing seconds, but could not convert and long pass ahead from Arnett allowed Brooks to seal the deal with a dunk inside the final horn.
This was the first time the Hurricanes passed 100 points in a game since a 106-70 victory over Clearwater Christian on Dec. 16, 2011. It was the first time GSW allowed 100 points in almost six years (Jan. 23, 2008).
Joining Brooks with double-figure points was Arnett (20), Darryl Davis (15), Redding (15), and Jamon Hawkins (14).
The Hurricanes connected on 62.1 percent of their shots over the course of the game. The Panthers shot 50.0 percent overall. GSW grabbed one more rebound (36-35). Clark Atlanta's bench contributed 55 points compared to GSW's 28.
Dwanye Bingham led the Panthers with a double-double behind 23 points and a team-high 13 rebounds. Kevin James added 20 and Jarrel Joye and Jordan Husley chipped in 19 points each.
Southwestern opens Peach Belt Conference play on Saturday when Georgia College visits the Storm Dome for a 3:30 p.m. game.

THE EDITORS' BOOKSHELF Although publishers continue to talk about "summer reading" books for warm, lazy days, most people are as busy in the summertime as at any other time of year. Without intending any official endorsement, the editors of H&S Reports offer on this page four titles for people who keep on going al-though the thermometer is on the way up. All four should be available for ex-amination at a well-stocked bookstore. Business Adventures, by John Brooks. Weybright & Talley, 1969, 389 pages, $10. The trained eye of an outside ob-server sometimes discovers drama in events so close to our daily lives that they look commonplace to us. John Brooks does this for accountants in this fresh collection of his dozen most fas-cinating and amusing tales of Wall Street and the modern corporation, many published earlier in The New Yorker, where he is the principal writer about business. Here is the story of the Edsel, that $350 million mistake which failed in part from overheated promotion and 29 despite the best market research avail- able. Here, its enormous complexity unravelled with the novelist's talent for storytelling and suspense, is what actually happened in the stock market's "little crash" of 1962. The history and peculiarities of the Federal income tax are presented with appreciation for two remarkable former Commissioners of Internal Revenue, Mortimer M. Caplin and Sheldon S. Cohen, who, Brooks says, discharged their duties "at a high degree of moral tension." The ritual of the annual stockholders meeting is de-scribed, as are the rise of Xerox and the troubling episodes at GE and Texas Gulf Sulphur. The author is faithful to the evi-dence and is generous with opinions that deserve the public accountant's attention, whether or not he accepts them. Families that may sometimes wonder what it is about the business world that fascinates H&S husbands and fathers will find part of the an-swer in this book. The National Forests of America, by Orville L. Freeman and Michael Frame. Putnam in association with Country Beautiful Foundation, 1968,194 pages, $12.95. Our national parks are well docu-mented in printed matter designed for people planning their vacation trips, but America's national forests have been less thoroughly described and publicized. This large-format book in clear text and appealing photographs offers the city dweller a strong induce-ment to visit the forest areas. Orville L. Freeman is the former Secretary of Agriculture, and Michael Frame, his collaborator, is one of the country's leading writers on conservation. They have organized their book by topics, rather than geographical regions, with chapters on such subjects as trees, scenic roads, wildlife, scenic rivers, hiking and U.S. history as it has left its marks within the national forests. Maps and lists of basic information on each of the forests and other areas under federal protection give the reader a solid basis on which to plan a trip. The Golf Immortals, by Tom Scott and Geoffrey Cousins. Hart, 1969, 272 pages, $6.95. Golf how-to books, if not a dime a dozen, are plentiful. They usually carry the by-line of one notable pro-fessional, and stress his way of play-ing the game. In this colorful set of sketches of 16 of the greatest golfers in history, two of Britain's most ex-perienced golf writers have distilled what they have learned by observing and interviewing the expert players from Harry Vardon down to the pres-ent. Most important lesson is that we cannot all play the game the same way, in view of our differences in strength, build and temperament. The reader is given insight into Tommy Armour's ideas on timing, Henry Cotton on the grip, Bobby Locke on putting, Billy Casper on positioning the feet for the short iron shots, Gary Player on power-ing the ball, and many more. One short paragraph, in the chapter on Bobby Jones, will come to mind every week-end on a crowded course while one waits and waits for the creeping four-some ahead to hole out: "Jones made no fuss about his put-ting-no meticulous picking up of non-existent impediments, no microscopic study of the grass blades, no contor-tions in the address, no special align-ment of the putter. The stroke was, to him, of the greatest importance, and was best done naturally and without fuss." A Treasury of Humorous Quotations, by Herbert V. Prochnow & Herbert V. Prochnow, Jr. Harper & Row, 1969, 398 pages, $6.95. An accountant who is called on to speak in public for the first time, whether within the professional fra-ternity or to an outside group, may know his subject thoroughly but he may not be confident that he can "put it across." The fact is that excellent public speakers are made, not born. This has been true from the time of Demosthenes through Daniel Webster and William Jennings Bryan down to our own day. A touch of wit that brings speaker and audience together in a laugh is one of the marks of the effec-tive speaker, no matter what his subject. This well organized reference book, carefully indexed by topic and by per-son quoted, delivers more than 6,6oo items that can be plucked from its pages and inserted into a speaker's script, just as if he had spent the pre-vious weekend in the library reading the great wits of history. With a little deft thumbing here one can come up with apropos quotations on such widely varied subjects as budgets, busi-ness, New York, work, optimism, opin-ion, golf, fish or government. And the quoted, among hundreds of others, can be. Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Charles Lamb, Oscar Wilde or W. C. Fields. Used with care the nuggets of humor in this book can make a good talk sparkle. •

Don't be surprised if you hear the battle cry of "War Eagle" as you enter Auburn, located 60 mi/70 km east of Montgomery. Home to Auburn University and the Auburn Tigers, this town boasts plenty of activities, even when football season is over.
The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Arts has eight exhibit galleries (phone 334-844-1484; http://jcsm.auburn.edu). Auburn University's Jonathan B. Lovelace Athletic Museum & Hall of Honor depicts the role sports has played in the university throughout the years, but it is closed until 2010, when it relocates to a new basketball arena.
Chewacla State Park (700 acres/285 hectares) offers a lake, tennis facilities, picnic area and campground. And for a closer look into the area's history, visit the Museum of East Alabama in nearby Opelika.

Top Company Agents
BERLIN – Bethany Drew has been named top listing agent for May for Hileman Real Estate while Cindy Dorcak was recognized as the top sales agent for the month.
OC Bank Branch Sold
OCEAN CITY – Edward M. Thomas, president of The Bank of Delmarva, and Edwin F. Hale, Sr., chairman of 1st Mariner Bank, have announced an agreement to sell the Ocean City branch of 1st Mariner Bank to The Bank of Delmarva for an undisclosed amount.
The branch is located at 125th Street and Coastal Highway and the sale includes about $14 million of deposits as well as bank-owned fixed assets and leasehold improvements. 1st Mariner employees in the Ocean City office will become employees of The Bank of Delmarva. The transaction is expected to close in mid September pending regulatory approvals.
"The Bank of Delmarva has had a lending presence in Ocean City and the surrounding markets for years, which gives us a customer base there. We look forward to serving the existing 1st Mariner customers in the Ocean City community and growing the deposit and lending business at the branch." Thomas said.
Hale noted, "Our decision to exit the Ocean City market was based on our ongoing strategic review of our retail branch network, which focuses on realigning our resources more closely with our core market. While exiting the Ocean City market was a difficult decision, we are pleased that our customers and employees will now be affiliated with The Bank of Delmarva, a strong local, community oriented institution."
The Bank of Delmarva is a full service, independent community bank. It has $350 million in assets and four branches in Sussex County, Del. and five locations in Wicomico County, Md. The Ocean City office will be the Bank's 10th branch location and the first in Worcester County.

"The tourism board is a vital entity that guides our efforts to showcase and expand Maryland tourism – the fourth largest industry in our state," said O'Malley. "It's especially valuable in today's competitive climate to have the counsel of a strong, experienced tourism board."
Among the new board members is Greg Shockley, owner of Shenanigan's Irish Pub & Grille in Ocean City and a past president of the Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Association.
Other new members are Paul Bales, co-owner of The Crossing at Casey Jones Restaurant in Charles County; Christopher S. Schardt, senior general manager at Harborplace and The Gallery in downtown Baltimore; and Matthew Taylor, executive director of Adventure Sports Center International, located near Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County.
"We're thrilled to add these outstanding leaders to the tourism board," said Margot Amelia, Executive Director of the Maryland Office of Tourism Development. "They each have special talents that will blend well with the board's efforts to advance Maryland tourism."

OCEAN CITY – Dave Whittington of Re/Max Premier Properties has successfully completed the Realtor e-PRO course, which certifies real estate agents and brokers as Internet professionals.
The certification course is an educational program unlike any other professional certification or designation course available, comprehensive and interactive. It is specifically designed to provide real estate professionals with the technology tools needed to assist consumers in the purchase or sale of a home. The course is designed to help realtors stay at the leading edge of technology and identify, evaluate and implement new Internet business models.
"The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past several years," said . Whittington. "A majority of consumers are taking the time to conduct their own research prior to contacting an agent. In turn, real estate professionals must be knowledgeable of how technology can assist them in serving the needs of the buying and selling public."

Troy council rejects Scolite sale
Council rejection reflects concerns about terms of $1M deal, truck traffic
The city will have to revisit its plans for the Scolite site after the City Council voted 5-4 Thursday night to reject the sale of the Hudson River waterfront property.
Concerns about truck traffic and the terms of the agreement with R.J. Valente Cos. were cited by council members as reasons for voting down the ordinance.
A passionate statement by Roderick J. "Roddy" Valente urged the council to move ahead with the sale.
"What we're bringing to Troy is not talk, it's something that's valued," Valente said.
He emphasized the 60-80 jobs that would be created, the $1 million the city would receive for selling the property; and the investment in capping and restoring the 5.7-acre brownfield at Madison Street and the river.
"The concerns I have are self-inflicted by the city," said Councilman Jim Gordon, R-1st District, citing roads and the license that would permit the company to work on the site while awaiting the state Legislature's required approval of the sale of riverfront property.
Councilman Ken Zalewski, D-5th District, said the problem is the city administration "had not provided any traffic impact studies for the project."
Zalewski said everyone on the council is aware the FBI has questioned city officials about the Scolite site, as well as the King Street building demolition and the paving of a sidewalk in North Central.
Zalewski said he could support tabling the ordinance for additional study, but City Council President Rodney Wiltshire, D-at-large, said the vote should proceed.
Gordon and Zalewski were joined in voting down the sale by Wiltshire, Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson, D-2nd District, and Councilman Dean Bodnar, R-3rd District.
Backing the sale were Democratic Councilwomen Lynn Kopka and Erin Sullivan-Teta, both at-large, and Councilman Robert Doherty, D-4th District, and Councilman Gary Galuski, D-6th District.
Doherty said he reviewed the four plans submitted for the property. He said he found the Valente proposal the best. He said the Valente development was a plan that could be adopted and would move the city forward.
Galuski and Kopka joined Doherty in speaking for the sale. The two council members cited the importance of new jobs.
The city also has plans to build its South Troy Industrial Roadway which would eventually take trucks off local streets.
Mayor Lou Rosamilia said the city has lost $1 million and the restoration of the property to the tax rolls. The mayor said the waterfront parcel is a valuable asset for the city.

Video shows Gadhafi was alive when captured in Sirte
TRIPOLI, Libya — Fugitive Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi died today from wounds sustained during capture near his hometown of Sirte, according to reports that were confirmed by Libyan transitional authorities and independent journalists.
Amateur video broadcast on TV channels showed Gadhafi's purported corpse: a man who appears to be the deposed leader lying in the street, stripped half-naked and splattered with blood. Bystanders, who are chanting, "God is great!" kicked him.
The 20 seconds of footage became instantly iconic for the Arab Spring protests: a despotic Middle Eastern ruler forced out of power after a popular uprising that turned into an armed rebellion. The image of Gadhafi's bloody face is sure to send chills among other besieged Middle Eastern rulers such as Syria's Bashar Assad and Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Another video broadcast by Arab satellite news stations seemed to show Gadhafi captured alive. The chaotic video shows Gadhafi, bloody and in a military uniform, being pulled from the hood of a truck and pushed into a standing position. At one point he seems to be talking to his captors and gesturing.
Members of the National Transitional Council, the interim authority, confirmed the death to journalists in Tripoli. An al Jazeera reporter with revolutionary forces in Sirte said on air that fighters had shown him Gadhafi's body and belongings such as a shoe and a watch.
Many Libyans were shocked — as well as elated — at this ignominious ending for a larger-than-life figure who ruled them for 42 years. Tripoli, the capital, erupted in volleys of gunfire and nonstop horn honking as residents took to the streets in celebration.
"He became very, very detached from the Libyan reality," Youcef Bouandel, a Qatar-based international affairs professor, told al Jazeera English. "He saw himself as bigger than he was. He was Libya."
The circumstances of Gadhafi's death were still unclear Thursday afternoon. Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of the transitional council, was expected to offer details at a news conference later in the day.
One account is that Gadhafi was wounded during a NATO strike as his convoy tried to escape Sirte, which fell to the former rebels on Thursday. Another is that he was discovered in a sewage hole, armed with two gold-plated guns. Neither of those reports could be independently verified.
Gadhafi spent the past two months in hiding after NATO-backed revolutionary forces toppled his regime in Tripoli. Speculation, at various times, had put him in Sirte, loyalist stronghold Bani Walid, the vast desert south or across the border in neighboring Niger or Algeria.
"This will mean that everyone in Libya can exhale," said Lisa Anderson, president of the American University in Cairo and a noted Libya expert. She predicted a period of relaxed tensions that would give the NTC space to tackle "the challenges of constructing genuine public debate about the future of the country and deciding how to deal with the stalwarts of the old regime."
Special correspondent Albuaishi reported from Libya; Allam reported from Cairo.

Q. If this is a choice between badgers suffering and cows suffering, then how do you justify saving badgers to the detriment of cows?
A. We believe that the public have been falsely presented with the choice between killing badgers and cows suffering. Killing badgers will not solve the problem of TB in cattle.
We are of course concerned deeply with the welfare of cows and remain committed to a long term solution to tackling the welfare issues associated with bTB infection in cattle. However, we must point out that only a tiny minority of cattle who are killed upon a reaction to the bTB test show any clinical signs of the disease and do not suffer as a result of bTB. In reality vastly more dairy cattle in the UK suffer significant pain and discomfort from lameness and mastitis every year, with large numbers also being culled as a result of these common conditions.
To say the group is more concerned with saving badgers, to the detriment of the welfare of dairy cows is a flawed accusation.

There are reviews of books on three major political figures in this Sunday's Washington Post Book World. The most interesting is the least conventional: THE CONVICTION OF RICHARD NIXON: The Untold Story of the Frost/Nixon Interviews, by James Reston Jr., reviewed by Matthew Dallek. Dallek writes:
In 1976, former President Richard Nixon made an arrangement with the British celebrity David Frost: Frost would interview Nixon for more than 20 hours on camera and pay him $1 million. Nixon would make money, possibly build a reputation as a statesman and remind the American people of his presidential achievements. The stakes were just as high for Frost, who wanted to prove himself as a serious interviewer and burnish his celebrity credentials.Continue reading this excellent review here.
James Reston Jr. was teaching creative writing at the University of North Carolina when he was asked to join Frost's team as a Watergate adviser. Reston... viewed Nixon as a contemptible figure who, despite his 1974 resignation, "remained . . . uncontrite and unconvicted."
The Conviction of Richard Nixon is Reston's chronicle of his involvement in Frost's efforts to wrest an apology and an admission of wrongdoing from Nixon on national television. Written in 1977, the book was not published until this year. The unfinished manuscript helped inspire Peter Morgan's award-winning Broadway play, "Frost/Nixon."
Reston's memoir is a compact and gripping behind-the-scenes narrative focused on Frost's struggles to prepare for his encounter with the formidable Nixon. Reston captures Nixon's inner turmoil and myriad moods during the tapings. Nixon wiped his brow, touched his eye, and "his jawline seemed to elongate." He told anecdotes about lessons learned in politics that skated unevenly around Frost's questions. Vindictive and bewildered, angered and bemused, Nixon came across as an angst-ridden ex-president. Reston's portrait of Frost suggests an uninformed show business personality, who Reston initially felt was too lazy to confront a politician of Nixon's caliber.
Reston also conveys his own sense of himself as a partisan eager to impeach the president....
Above all, the book sheds important light on Nixon's failure to rehabilitate his reputation after his 1974 resignation. In the course of his research, Reston discovered undisclosed transcripts of conversations between Nixon and Charles Colson -- one of the Watergate conspirators -- that revealed Nixon's role in the coverup. Frost asked Nixon why he told Colson that "the President's losses got to be cut" and why he ordered his aides to "turn over any cash we got" to buy the Watergate burglars' silence. At another point, Frost tossed his clipboard onto the coffee table and asked whether Nixon was ready to admit his "wrongdoing," acknowledge that "the power of the presidency [had been] abused" and "apologize" to the American people for having dragged them "through two years of agony."
Under this barrage, Nixon finally was forced to admit that he had skirted the law, participated in a coverup, misled the country and "let the American people down." "For all those things" he said he felt "a very deep regret."
Other works reviewed:
For a review of CHENEY: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful And Controversial Vice President, by Stephen F. Hayes, the sub-headline is: "A journalist attempts to plumb the depths of our secretive vice president." But the point of Karen DeYoung's review is that the author fails to do just that.
Bryan Burrough finds BILL CLINTON: Mastering the Presidency by Nigel Hamilton, on Clinton's first term, a "minor contribution to the Clinton canon," and unfortunately spends a paragraph of the review sharing his personal Clinton fatigue and reluctance to read the book. So pass on the review to someone else, who might come to the same conclusion in a more worthwhile review.

Noisebridge Discuss FAQ
Inspiration over Rules
The direction of communication is one-to-many. It is up to the poster to consider the many.
Valid reasons for making posts to Noisebridge discuss include
- Announcing and discussing projects, classes, and events related to Noisebridge.
- Inciting responses from the many experienced and knowledgeable regular contributors to the community.
- Proposing project or class ideas.
- Asking general questions about things related to Noisebridge, including, classes, the wiki, events.
Appropriate Behaviour, Personal Attacks
Posts about appropriate behavior, while inevitable, can become quite unnerving to the large number of list recipients. It's also archived forever on a publicly searchable forum. Noisebridge has a very strong cultural reticence to delete or censor content once posted.
The best place to sort out concerns about personal behaviour at Noisebridge is face-to-face, either with the person you're concerned with, or at our weekly Tuesday meeting. Remember, you can always ask someone to leave and come back to weekly meeting.
It is best not to make posts of an emotional nature, post accusations, personal complaints. That includes complaints disguised as questions. Do not retaliate to such posts on the list (a simple acknowledgement and encouragement to meet at meeting is often best). Do not start a new thread to complain about other threads or people.
Even if your complaint (or defence) is perfectly polite and factual, it is almost inevitable that others' comments will not be.
Posting Style
Posting style in messages intended as responses to other messages can make or break a discussion.
Interleaved Replies
Material quoted from the previous message is attributed to its author and indented with a marker character (usually >). It is trimmed down to just sufficient to provide the context in which the response is made (marking the fact that an edit has been made with one of several common notations, such as: <snip>, [snip], [ ... ], etc.) and the responding text is placed below the quoted material to which it is responding, separated from it by a blank line. (from comp.lang.javascript FAQ)
Bottom Posting
Although less desirable, bottom posting has the advantage over top posting in that chronological order is maintained.
iOS Replies
Bottom posting can be made by selecting the text quote in the reply. See also [Some Quick Interleaved Reply Tips for iOS and Mail.app Users]
Top Posting (don't)
Top posting is a common cause of communication failure and is often a tactic to rudely ruin a discussion.

Adopt a Great Horned Owl
The great horned owl has the largest range of all the North American owls and can be found in every state except Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Despite this, it can be a challenge to spot great horned owls in the wild because of their nocturnal behavior and dark camouflaging feathers. Great horned owls have brown and/or gray feathers with darker markings that easily blend with tree branches and dirt. They have a short black beak, a white throat, big yellow eyes and a prominent black line that outlines their face. Great horned owls received their name from the feather tufts on their heads that look like pointed horns. These feathers are actually used for camouflage and in body language displays. Other species of owls have tufts of feathers over the eyes, but only the great horned owl has them on the sides of the head. Help NWF in its efforts to protect and recover the wild places that sustain wildlife. Adopt a great horned owl today!

The Waterville molded fiber facility attracts plenty of attention as one of the area's largest employers, but recently they garnered even more thanks to the rollout of their new compostable, rounded school lunch plates.
Kevin Concannon, U.S. Department of Agriculture's undersecretary for food and nutrition services, and U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree visited the facility to take an up-close look at the school lunch plates that are now in production for the Urban School Food Alliance.
The Urban School Food Alliance, made up of school districts from Miami-Dade, Dallas, Orlando,
New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago, according to their website, was created in 2012 to combine purchasing power and coordinate menu creation while working together to improve quality and incorporate sound environmental practices.
"There's a lot of excitement in the school food world about this, because we not only want children to eat healthy but we want to demonstrate and reinforce sustainable practices," Concannon said in a telephone interview with the Bangor Daily News.
The story received coverage, across the state, from The Morning Sentinel in the Waterville area, the Portland Press Herald, Maine Public Broadcasting and local television stations.
"We were pleased to continue to hear how favorably the new school lunch tray is being received by the Urban Alliance and many other school districts," Waterville Plant Manager Ray McMullin said. "Strong demand for our molded fiber products is helping our facility grow and we are seeing the benefits. Despite all this, we continue to work toward streamlining and simplifying our product offering to improve productivity and ultimately become even more competitive."

Mount Holmes Climber's Log
tlockling - Mar 27, 2016 3:21 am Date Climbed: Jul 29, 19871987 with Brendan
Brendan Kildare and I climbed this in 1987. Nobody else was there, but the fire tower ranger. He told me he worked in Glacier Park many years and moved here to be closer to civilization.Great hike. Did it again in 1998 with my wife and that was the year my friend Brendan died. This hike/ memories were for him .Dead at 33. Also in Early sept 1998 the bull elk were rutting/ bugling like crazy. We slept in meadows campsite below the summit trail. I thought those bulls were going to stomp on us. Saw many sandhills also.
jdarr67 - Sep 24, 2015 10:59 am Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2015Perfect
Great weather again. No bear sign. A couple goats on Dome and White Peaks North. Stayed in fire lookout. Vivid starry night.
Matt Inman - Aug 5, 2015 11:37 pm Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2013Mt. Holmes Trail
It's been two years since I made this hike, but this is how I remember it. This was only the second time I had done a long hike in grizzly country. I was nervous. Maybe a mile into the hike, maybe a little more, maybe a little less, the forest is young and dense (recovering from the fires of 1988 I understand) and crowds the trail, limiting visibility, and your ability to see a bear before you surprise it. This last for what seems like a mile or two. Eventually, you come out into a more open area, not so recovered from the same fires and visibility here is good, so I was not so nervous about surprising a bear. Well into the hike, six or seven miles in, near a little cabin,, the trees crowd in again, but not for long. It seems like just beyond the cabin, the trees thin out again and this last all the way to the top. It was hot and dry with little shade so a good hat would come I handy. The views from the top are awesome. I believe I could see the roof of a large building at the Old Faithful area glimmering in the sun. I did not see another person the entire day. Except for the few miles through the dense timber where I was worried about bears, I enjoyed the hike. A good twenty mile day.
awhite28 - Aug 10, 2014 8:57 pm Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2014Holmes
Long, long day. I think the mileage on this page is wrong - I got 22 miles for the day. Saw a sow griz with a cub 8.5 miles in. They were 300 yards off the trail and didn't seem to care that I was there thankfully.

Climb this every year for work. Fortunate enough to overnight in the fire lookout each time. It's a special place. Look for goats to the north on Dome Mountain.

Long hike. Highest danger was falling snags in the stiff summer breeze. Saw a Grizzly early on at Winter Creek. Had a brief chat with George up top.
Zac Finley - Aug 4, 2007 2:36 pm Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2007Day hike
Spent all day(7:11am -7:11pm) enjoying this hike. Stumbled upon a young grizzly about 2 1/2 miles in. He was walking on the trail towards my Colombian friend and I only 20 yards away. After a few seconds of staredowns he left us alone traverseing up the hillside. Besides the bear scare it was quite the hike to the summit. Good weather the entire way with a few snow patches left from a dry winter. Great views of Sheridan to the south, Electric to the north and Emigrant even further north. Also spotted a new fire from the summit with the ranger on duty.
Sam Page - Jul 22, 2007 8:40 pmMid-summer 1993
A group of us from Grant Village camped somewhere along the way, but only two of us headed up to the summit in dense fog the next morning. Not knowing there was a station on the summit, we were surprised to practically bump into it in near zero visibility.

Four hours up, half hour on the top with the lookout, three and a quarter down. Hot day. Long slog. Great views.
jakefrisbee - Mar 14, 2006 8:37 pmMt Holmes Trail
Did this one with a fellow employee from Tower Falls Hamilton General Store. Jason from Georgia, Summer of 2000. We started at the trailhead at 7pm and hiked all night. We rarely used headlamps and we shared duties yelling to let grizzlies know that we were coming. Hours and hours of yelling. I vividly remember how peaceful it was on the summit, shining my light into the lookout tower and illuminating the guy sleeping inside (didn't wake him up), and looking DOWN at stars. I think we summited around 1am, but my memory is hazy. We stumbled back to the car after dawn and slept most of the next day.

What a nice backpacking trip. Fell into grizzly lake with a full pack on while crossing over a log. some great campsites - lots of signs of bears!

Nasty weather all of my first day....it rained, and it was just a big mess, That summit gets a ton of wind en route. A little tricky through the snow patches near the top...worth the hike.
Alcas24 - Nov 3, 2005 1:17 amRoute Climbed: Mt Holmes Trail/Tilobite Lake Date Climbed: May 23, 2005
First big hike of my second summer working in Yellowstone. Stil a ton of snow and the "trail" was nonexistent. Descended via Trilobite Lake. Tough going with all the snow and deadfall. First grizz sighting of the season just south of the lake.

Watch out for low hanging tree limbs! "Hey George, wash your dishes"!
Joseph Bullough - Jul 27, 2004 6:07 pmRoute Climbed: Mt. Holmes Trail / Trilobite Lakes Date Climbed: July 24, 2004
Hiked in on 7/23 and spent the night at campsite 1C4, which made for a quick hike to the summit on the morning of 7/24. For variety we descended the northeast ridge down to the Trilobite Lakes area - much prettier than the ascent trail, but somewhat of a routefinding challenge getting back to camp.
tlogan - Mar 19, 2004 10:43 pmRoute Climbed: Mount Holmes Trail Date Climbed: April 21 1994
This was an eye-opener for an unexperienced and very eager young climber (me). We embarked around 10 in the morning and about 2 km later, after floundering through waist-deep snow, for close to an hour, we were forced to admit defeat. It was such a beautiful looking peak. We were very disappointed. We learned a valuable lesson on this day... when attempting peaks in the backcountry in early spring, come prepared with snowshoes or you arent going anywhere.
b. - Sep 3, 2003 1:12 pmRoute Climbed: Mount Holmes Trail Date Climbed: September 1995
At the end of the summer season at Mammoth Hot Springs, about ten us who worked in the park spent three weeks bagging peaks. We saved this one for last due to the distance. The trip is worth the effort; even the effort of walking past Grizzly Lake for 6 miles in the dark. Scary! We only saw an owl, though, no bears.

PHOENIX (Wednesday, February 23, 2011) -- Attorney General Tom Horne announced today that Scott Arthur Helmer, 36, of Tempe, Arizona was indicted by an Arizona State Grand Jury of 20 charges related to his operation of his insurance business, Helmer Risk Management, LLC located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Helmer is charged with eleven counts of Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices, class 2 felonies, five counts of Theft, class 2 felonies and four counts of Theft, class 3 felonies.
The indictment alleges between November 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009 that Helmer, in his capacity as a licensed insurance broker in Arizona, diverted insurance premiums for commercial policies covering eleven businesses. The State alleges that Helmer used the premiums paid by the businesses to finance his insurance agency and personal lifestyle instead of forwarding the money to the appropriate insurance companies.
Scott Helmer and Helmer's Risk Management, LLC's insurance licenses were revoked by the Arizona Department of Insurance on November 18, 2009.
These charges are merely allegations, and Scott Helmer is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
This case was investigated by the Arizona Department of Insurance Fraud Unit. Arraignment for Scott Helmer is scheduled for February 28, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. before Commissioner Rees of the Maricopa County Superior Court.

I'm a little unclear about the color changes in the Calendar.
I updated, rebuilt the display just in case, but I have a recurring event that has no category, yet it is colored brown in the list view (that is, not the category color on the left side, but the whole item is backed by this brown color).
Nothing else is colored except that single event, and only in today's recurrence. No other item is colored, including this item on future days.
What's that about? It's not colored on any other view.
- Tim
EDIT: Ok, it seems this is some kind of "coming up next" indicator. Is this documented anywhere? It doesn't seem specifically mentioned in the release notes, other than bits about changing colors.

If you are dissatisfied with the final judgment made by the district court, it is possible in most cases to appeal to the court of appeal. The court of appeal is actually the second instance on issues relating to criminal cases, contentious cases and other judicial issues that have already been dealt with the by a district court. However, in certain cases, 'leave to appeal' (permission) is required for the court of appeal to consider an appeal.
There are six courts of appeal in Sweden; Svea Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Göta Court of Appeal in Jönköping, the Scania and Blekinge Court of Appeal in Malmö, the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden in Gothenburg, the Court of Appeal for Southern Norrland in Sundsvall and the Court of Appeal for Northern Norrland in Umeå.
Each of the six courts of appeal has a geographical catchment area - a court district - which can vary from covering five district courts to twenty for Svea Court of Appeal, which is the largest.
There are approximately 650 people working at the courts of appeal - heads of division, judges of appeal, associate judges of appeal, reporting clerks, court of appeal clerks and court secretaries.
Each court of appeal is divided into a number of departments, one or more, each one headed by a Head of Division or the President.
Judges of appeal and associate judges of appeal work as judges, while reporting clerks present cases, conduct legal investigations and keep the records. The chancery staff deal, among other things, with the dispatch of notices to attend hearings and the dispatch of documents and decisions. In certain cases, both reporting clerks and chancery staff prepare cases for determination.
There are approximately 600 lay judges linked to the courts of appeal. They are appointed by the county councils and their function is to participate in the work with adjudicating in various issues and they are appointed for four years at a time.
Svea Court of Appeal, besides its ordinary functions as a court of appeal for its district, is also responsible for appeals regarding certain special kinds of cases, among other things, those from the regional rent tribunals. The Land and Environmental Court of Appeal is also part of the Svea Court of Appeal, and determines appeals from all the Land and Environmental Courts.

8 March 2012 at 5.52pm | Comment on this article
There's a very different dining experience available for the performance of Judith Weir's Miss Fortune on Friday 23 March at 7.30pm.
Taking our inspiration from the production's kebab van (staffed by Noah Stewart as Hassan), we're offering a deal of the best available seat, kebab and a bottle of beer for just £45 meaning that you'll be able to get a prima doner, without spending a fortune.
Kebabs on offer include a lamb kofte with minted yoghurt on flatbread or the vegetarian option of a grilled vegetable and haloumi flatbread with harissa hummus. Drink options include a bottle of Kronenbourg or a soft drink.
Miss Fortune is Judith Weir's take on a Sicilian folk tale, about the daughter of a rich family who turns her back on wealth to make her own way in the world – too often with unfortunate results. The production stars Royal Opera favourites Emma Bell, Anne-Marie Owens and Jacques Imbrailo as well as rising star Noah Stewart. Miss Fortune's striking designs are by Chen Shi-Zheng (who worked with Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett on Monkey: Journey to the West).
How to claim
The Food and Drink will be available in the Paul Hamlyn Hall in the interval only. You can reclaim your Food and Drink on presentation of both your ROH ticket and your Food and Drink voucher (this will be emailed to you on 21 March. You will need to print this voucher at home). Please note, Food and Drink and only be claimed on presentation of both ticket and voucher.
This is an online offer only. For the promo code, please go to our Facebook page and enter this code when booking.
Terms and conditions
Offer subject to availability; cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or on tickets previously purchased. This offer only applies to the performance on 23 March and is only valid for Orchestra Stalls tickets (usually priced £85, £80 and £75).

Baseball Pitcher & Player of the Week ? No. 6
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tyler Brake of Union (Ky.) has been named the NAIA National Baseball Player of the Week and Mike Lachapelle of Arizona Christian has been tabbed National Pitcher of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Brake and Lachapelle were selected based on their performances from April 8 – 14 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated group winners.
Brake, a native of Burlington, Ky., set a school single-game record for doubles and blasted a game-winning homer to play a key role in Union's 4-1 week that included a three-game sweep of Appalachian Athletic Conference rival Milligan (Tenn.) April 13—14. He hit .579 (11-for-19) for the week with five doubles, two home runs, seven runs scored and eight RBI. Brake also stole two bases on two attempts and walked four times.
Brake's record breaking performance came against Georgetown (Ky.) on April 9. The senior first baseman went 4-for-5 with four doubles, four runs scored and two RBI. With the effort, Brake became only the fourth player in NAIA history with four-or-more doubles in a game. On April 13 against Milligan, he was 4-for-6, including a double and home run, across two games. One day later, Brake played hero with a game-winning, walk-off 2-run home run in the bottom of the eighth to propel Union to the 3-1 victory and a series sweep.
Brake leads the team with 11 doubles and seven home runs, while ranking second on the squad with 40 RBI.
Lachapelle, a senior from Tucson, Ariz., threw Arizona Christian's third all-time nine-inning complete game in the Firestorm's April 13 tilt against then-No. 6 The Master's (Calif.). The left-hander struck out 12 – four shy of tying the program's single-game record – and walked none to earn his fifth victory of the season. Lachapelle, who scattered eight hits in the contest, retired the last six Mustangs he faced, including three by strikeout.
On the year, Lachapelle is 5-5 with a team-best 3.13 earned run average. He also paces the team with 53 strikeouts in 74.2 innings pitched.
