Newcastle poised to strengthen
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew hopes his new French revolution can steer the club away from the Barclays Premier League drop zone with his transfer window frustration about to end.

- Profiles
Defenders Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Massadio Haidara are expected to seal moves to Tyneside within the next 48 hours while hopes are also high that the Magpies will win the race to sign Moussa Sissoko from Toulouse.
Montpellier confirmed the departure of Yanga-Mbiwa pending a medical on their official website, with a fee believed to be in the region of £7million agreed for the French international.
Meanwhile a statement from Ligue 1 strugglers Nancy confirmed that 20-year-old full-back Haidara is also set to join the Magpies subject to a medical following an agreement between the clubs.
Their statement said: "After 46 games and two-and-a-half years in the Nancy shirt, Massadio Haidara is leaving for Newcastle United, currently 16th in the Premier League.
"The two clubs have reached an agreement and will finalise the transfer on Tuesday."
The deals will come as a great relief for Pardew, who was put under more pressure by Saturday's shock 2-1 home defeat to Reading, which left them languishing just two points above the relegation zone.
The news came hot on the heels of more frustration in the transfer market for Pardew, who lost out in the bid to sign striker Loic Remy from Marseille. Another French defender, Mathieu Debuchy, remains his only January signing to date.
Yanga-Mbiwa told Montpellier's official website: "This [England] is a country where everybody loves football and I really want to experience this culture. It is one of the things you want to discover as a player.
"I feel I have given everything to the maximum while at Montpellier. They have been like my second family and have given me everything. There were hard times and good times but there is a very strong bond that unites us."
Newcastle's chase for Sissoko looked set to pay off when the player was left out of the squad for Toulouse's scheduled French Cup clash with Paris St Germain on Wednesday night.

Energy Choices at School
California has over 9,000 schools, with more than six million students.
The California Department of Education estimates that kindergarten-through-grade 12 schools spend $132 per student each year in energy costs. But by installing energy improvements, existing schools can often cut those energy costs by 15 to 20 percent. And designing and building new schools to be energy efficient can reduce energy costs by 20 to 40 percent, freeing up operating capital for other, more valuable purposes like more teachers and books.
Here are some of the options available to make schools more energy efficient.

We recently converted our unused study to a bathroom and are thrilled with the result. Cason kept us informed of progress every step of the way and any requested (or unforeseen) changes were met with confidence. We have previously renovated and unreservedly recommend CGB builders. Thank you for hard work and excellent craftsmanship - we've had positive comments about you and your amazing team of trades.
CGB Builders have transformed our house into the home that we envisaged. Cason's robust advice, punctuality, attention to detail and ability to think on his feet is a testament to his professionalism and nothing was too difficult for him to resolve or overcome. Cason always went above & beyond and could be counted on when needed, for example, when a storm hit on a Sunday just before Christmas he was onto it straight away and got things done! We are more than happy with the way Cason project managed our renovation which in turn removed the stress for us. The quality of Cason's work is outstanding and we have recommended CGB Builders to other friends and as expected Cason delivered for them as well. I have no hesitation recommending CGB Builders – you won't regret it and I know who I will be calling next time we need building services. Kind regards Dougal & Katharine

Victorian Sterling Mixed Metals Perfume Bottle
Product Details
A beautiful perfume bottle from the Victorian (ca1880) era! Most likely worn attached to a chatelaine, this lovely peice is made of sterling silver and has been decorated with a lovely mixed metals aesthetic movement design on the front surface. The design depicts a plant motif featuring several cattails that have rose gold tips and greenish gold leaves. At each shoulder of the perfume bottle is a curved handle, to which a sterling chain link is attached. The two ends of the chain meet just above the top of the bottle, where they connect to a longer chain that hangs from a sterling swival watch clasp. On the top of the bottle is a sterling ball topper that unscrews to reveal where a woman would have stored a small amount of perfume inside. The back of the locket is engraved "Hal to Mamie" in a light, cursive font. A delightful piece with an attractive design, it would look wonderful worn as a pendant from a sterling chain, and would make a fabulous addition to any collection!
Measurements: The scent bottle measures 1 5/8" tall, 7/8" at its widest point, and slightly more than 1/4" at its thickest point. It hangs 5 5/8" long on its chain from the top of the top of the clasp to the bottom of the bottle.
Condition: The overall condition of the scent bottle is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the sterling silver or mixed metals design, and the bottle topper screws on easily and securely. There is normal wear to the surface of the silver, particularly on the back, which is not uncommon for a piece of this age.

America's Troubled Waters

Since 1972, the Clean Water Act has made significant strides in cleaning up U.S. waterways. Unfortunately, the law's goals of eliminating the discharge of pollutants into waterways by 1985 and making all U.S. waters safe for fishing, swimming, and other uses by 1983 have not been met. Today, more than 40% of U.S. waterways are unsafe for these basic activities. Among the findings included in a 2007 study by U.S. PIRG, Troubled Waters: An Analysis of Clean Water Act Compliance:

|In response to Re: New Toilet Vent
By proper height I mean terminating above the level of the toilet tank so that a stoppage could not overflow out the vent.
: It would be about 7 feet from the attic vent. By proper height do you mean how long the pipe extends above the roof-line?
: : Your inspector will be the final arbiter, but if the vent out the gable is the proper height and not near a window, then it should be proper.
: : : I'm putting a new half bath in my unfinished second floor dormer. The Dormer is not the full width of the house so it leaves gables (the 'original' roof line) about 2feet on each side of the house. Can I vent the 3" toilet stack through the gable roof near the toilet or does the vent stack need to go through the dormer roof for proper code? The plumber that is doing the job says it's ok but I have never seen a 3" stack thru a gable. I have seen 2" (sink,tub) but not 3"(toilet) on some of the area homes. For some reason I don't believe him. A lil' help is appreciated....thanks

The short articles referenced below make for thoughtful, interesting reading. I had a similar discussion once during an ethics CME course I took. Most there thought that any "change" in an operation was risky and maybe unethical as the surgeon was "not trained" for it. My view point as I tried to explain it, was that like dress-making or tailoring, surgery is based on good skills. If I know how to put in a zipper or do a collar or do button-holes well, then you can put all those together to do more than just make a dress. I should be able to put those skills together to make a suit coat. That simple example opened (didn't necessarily change) up the minds of most there.
That example is way too simple and there do need to be ways to make sure that surgeons who left their residency PRIOR to learning a technique that came along ten years later (laproscopy is a great example) have properly learned the technique prior to being given hospital privileges. What is the learning curve? Who should oversee them while they do their first six or ten or twenty cases? What if they are the first in the community to learn the skill (went to the university and took a week long course)?
Here are some short bits to entice you. This is from Dr Clayman.
The challenge for the surgeon as a creative being is that unlike all other arts, the surgical medium is sensate. Every alteration in a tried-and-true technique
exposes both the surgeon and patient to censure and unknown complication, respectively…….
The question arises, at what point along the creative continuum does a minor variation on a theme become an innovation? When does the surgeon-scientist need to ask or request a panel of peers to review an idea or concept and judge it—seeking permission prior to performance? How well equipped is the average institutional review board (IRB) panel, all too often composed of a minority of surgeons, able to pass judgment? ………….
The surgeon today, through technology, seeks to accomplish a surgical cure while lessening surgical
morbidity, hence the advent of minimally invasive surgery. However, as the incision wanes, the technology waxes and thus the surgeon must now enter a realm unfamiliar, that of the medical industrial
complex. While the surgeon is thinking less pain, quicker convalescence, better cosmesis, the industrial
side of the partnership is evaluating potential profit/loss, marketability and expense of development. In this light, it is essential that the IRB stand between the innovator and the patient, just as the FDA now stands between industry and the patient….
In this regard the sage advice of Dr. Agich bears repeating: "We need a well-grounded set of criteria to differentiate at least three types of cases: routine or
normal variation; innovation that is beyond routine, not formal research, yet requires review; and innovation that involves research and so requires formal IRB review."
However, as with most gradations, the extremes are obvious (one and three), it is the middle ground (two) that provides the greatest challenge and concern…….
Both articles are worth reading and discussing.

Gosen Og-Sheep Micro 17 White String
Comments: After testing other synthetic guts (Forten Sweet 17, Volkl, Prince) and multifilaments (Prince
Premier Control, Tier One Triumph, Tourna Quasigut, Weiss Explosiv, Dunlop Hey Fibre), I must say that this is my absolute
favorite cross for a hybrid with poly mains. It awakens the racquet, provides better feel, more power, more pop and less
arm pain. To me it feels just right. And the price is great. Strung at 58 lbs on a lockout machine in a Yonex DR 98 with
WeissCannon Silverstring 16L main at 55 lbs.
Comments: This is probably one of the best values around. First off, it is a great string for arm issues. It is
super arm friendly and has a silky feel to it. It's actually my favorite multi to string based on the ease and silky feeling of
the string. I recommend it more for hybrids more than a full bed as I found that it is so silky that it does not have the spin or
grab that I prefer for top spin and slices. It seemed a little slick for a full bed. It is my number one string to use in the
crosses in my hybrids.
Comments: This is a really great string! Feels great on my Head Radical. I string my own racquets, so I
am always
trying different strings constantly because I can. I've tried everything from economical to expensive ones, and I can tell you
this Sheep Micro 17 Natutal String feels lovely . Great control! Nice power! They don't move as much as you think and
durability. I string 2pieces at 44lbs and am a 5.0 level player.
Comments: I am using this one on my BLX 90 and recently on my PS BLX 90 in the crosses with RAB
Monoflex poly
in the mains. 55 lbs for multi and 48 lbs for crosses does the trick for me. Both frames are leaded up at 3 and 9, so balls
have a
lot of action (both spin and power wise) on the other side. Regardless of that kind of heavy hitting, I have yet to break
either of the
strings. I switched from full poly to make things softer and I couldn't see loss of control in any way. Power is great at this
and for the price, you just can't beat this. With less then $10 I can string two frames and have yet to find something bad
with it.
Comments: Time to give my feedback, I have been using this string for a few years now. It has excellent
control, easy on my arm, durability you expect from a 17 gauge it gives me about 6 sets of play and I have to cut them
they lose the feel. Since I have a string machine, it does not matter. I like to string my racquets frequently at 58 lbs and I
have a
Yonex RDS 003. The natural plays a little bit better for me, tried the reel did not like at all, seems that plays different. After
great string for the money and the playability.
Comments: Have this in the cross and Gosen Polylon comfort 17 in the mains at 51lbs tension. This
hybrid setup
has great control and good topspin. Power is fair and good durability.
Comments: I just switch to the sheep (white) from nxt 17, rpm, isospeed, and etc, etc. What Gosen does
really well
is that non-nonsense/consistent syn gut feedback, so it doesn't have the spin or rpm and the feel of $15 multis, but it's
somewhere in the middle and at the contact I can feel that consistency. It works for my game. For big hitters, be ready to
after every 2 sets.
Comments: I am a 4.0 doubles player, with a 19-4 record. I have used natural gut, Tecnifibre NRG and
Wilson NXT
before. I like this string just as much (well gut is the best), but, at a fraction of their costs. I have this string as a hybrid,
with a
poly (Wilson Enduro Pro 18 gauge), both as the main (for stronger serves), and as the cross (for better returns).
Comments: Strung this hybird on the crosses at 55lbs with Luxilon Big Banger Rough on mains (Kfactor
Tour 90).
I'm an athletic 23-year-old who started playing tennis 7 years ago including for my college team. My previous set up was
with X-1
Biphase, but the x-1 would get sawed from the lux within 8 hours so I wanted to lower my expense swith a more economic
fulfillment. The 17og doesn't stretch and plays stiff. While there is good bite or friction to the ball, you will have to sacrifice
pocketing aspect of a good multifiliment, and there's no way getting around that. I wish nat gut and x-1 biphase had lower
but I guess there's no getting around it, I will stick to these. After 1 hour of play, there was a ton of "ball hair" on these
more than I've ever seen from other strings.
Comments: For the price of the string, you can't complain too much. I've restrung my racquet about 5
times now,
mains and crosses, started at 58 lbs and now have the tension down to 49 lbs in my BLX 90, which is about right for me.
power is low to medium, durability is decent (about 8-10 hrs of heavy hitting before main breaks), feel is good, and the spin
potential is pretty low. I think everything about it is okay except maybe for the spin. I've had better strings (not as
that could produce more spin with less effort. I'm going to try something else in the mains, but keep this as a cross. I like
string better than the Forten Sweet, Wilson NXT, and Head Syn Gut, and Prince Syn Gut. It just has more feel for me and
controllable power.
Comments: These strings are great for their price. They are really good for generating spin, very soft and
easy on
the arm, and a breeze to string with as well. They stretch a fair amount when stringing so I actually managed to get a few
string jobs out of a reel. I usually hybrid them with Gosen Polylon to make them last a little longer. They get a lot of bite on
ball. All in all, a string I'll always have in stock.
Comments: Using the Gosen 17g in crosses of a Flexpoint Instinct @ 55 lbs and MSV Hex in the mains @
55 lbs as
well. It is as crisp as you could want with plenty of power and feel with adequate spin production. The strings seem to
better to a medium low tension in tight string patterns. Durability is ok (8-9 hours) as I rarely use heavy topspin on my
unless hitting a pass or lob.
Comments: Glad to hear that you are liking the string, Gino. Two years down the road from my last
comments here,
GSM 17 (white, which I think is crisper than the natural) is still my only cross string. Nothing else like it.
Comments: I usually do my own research by talking to people and reading comments on TW feedback
before I buy
660ft of strings (long commitment!). I am biased to Kirschbaum strings. Been using them for years. I was looking for a
decent and
cheap string for crosses and Gosen came to mind. This particular string was my #1 choice and from all the comments I
read here
the ones that stood out were the ones left by Jon from Milwaukee. I never tried pro line II (but always wanted to try) so I
the 2 spools and endorse everything he said. I set tension to 57lbs. Great combo I found. After playing 3 sets the strings
move that much, great control, excellent spin, (enough to drive my opponents crazy!) and good pop on the serve. I have
bought two Head YOUTEK IG Speed 16x19 and am adjusting to the racquet (used to play with Head Microgel extreme pro).
you Jon from Milwaukee!
Comments: There is no better deal anywhere in the world of strings. Feel, tension maintenance, and ease
stringing are all well above average. Works as a full bed strung on the tighter side for open patterns, or as a terrific cross to
up polys and kevlar. But for me, where these strings really shine is in an 18x20 pattern. With the tighter pattern, you can
these a little looser, resulting in great feel, nice grab on the ball, and terrific depth control. For what it's worth, I agree that
natural seems to play better.
Comments: These are my strings of choice after wasting hundreds on name brand polyesters. They give
you so
much feel and comfort. By the time they break you are ready for a fresh set anyway. String it tight as they are elastic and
maintain tension very well.
Comments: This is a great string! I've always used head rip control, Isospeed, and Luxilon. But my friend
made me
try this one and it's awesome! It has more of a livelier feel into it and for the price you can't beat that.
Comments: Great string, great value! Feels great all the way till you break them. I did break them in 2
days (like 5
hours of play) so durability is not great for somewhat strong hitters. Hybrid this!!
Comments: Tried this string after reading reviews, great string. Nice ball pocketing, resists string
movement for
awhile, and more durable then some other syn guts out there. Broke string job in about 20 hours, but hey, for the price I
care less. I have been told though that the Og-Sheep Micro 17 natural plays better than the crystal, so I'll be trying that
Comments: I totally agree with Steve about using this amazing string in the crosses with co-poly mains (I
Kirschbaum Pro Line II 1.15 @ 49). Terrific all around performance with incredible feel, power, and plenty of control.
Curiously, I
also get even more spin with this string than I do with thinner syn guts such as BiPhase 18 and for me it also outperforms
gut in all areas. At this price, the Gosen can't be beat. Don't string at too high a tension or you will reduce the
Comments: Gosen Sheep Micro is a fantastic string. I use it as a cross with Kirschbaum Pro Line II 1.15
(49/55) and get amazing pocketing, spin, power, and control. In combination with a poly or co-poly, it is just about the best
out there. That the string lasts about the same amount of time as the Pro Line before going a bit dead is perfect (about 10-
hours of hard playing). For me, the Gosen plays better than any of the fancy multifilaments and even is better than the best
gut in
virtually all areas. All this for a great price. Amazing!
Comments: Based on the good comments about this string and its low price, I tried this string on the
crosses with
MSV Focus Hex 17g. on the mains. This provides a wonderful combination and softens up the poly really well, while
improving feel at the net and only slightly reducing topspin potential at the baseline. I just got back from 3.5 hours of hard
and my arm feels great. These strings are excellent as a hybrid combo. I haven't yet tried them as a full string job. I
recommend them.
Comments: This is some really good string. I have used this in conjunction with ICE 17 Poly for a little
durability. I hit very hard and with a lot of spin. I am going to start to use on the OG Micro and see how that fares.
Comments: Gosen Og-sheep Micro is the best synthetic string I have ever used. Great playability if string
within the
factory recommended tension range - very important, above average durability and easy to string; and the price is
Definitely worth a try!
Comments: A good choice for a player who wants to save some money, that's if you string your own. The
feel is
7/10, and the durability is 8/10. I used to use 65 tension, but I gradually went down to 55, and I could start feeling good
when I hit the ball. I think this string is not designed for high tension because it compromises the feel drastically. If your
tension is
around 55 lbs, then this is a must try for you.
Comments: This string lasted 15 hours of play for me. I use an extreme eastern forehand grip. It
was strung in a 6.0 85 at 62lbs. At first I didn't like the string, because I felt the ball was sliding off the strings
without any bite. After about 8 hours of play, I felt the string settled in, I don't know why it took so long. After that
the strings felt really good, with good feel and power. I would say this is a decent string. I do hit the ball with a
lot of topspin. If you have a stringer and don't mind stringing every week or so, it is a good string to try.
Comments: This was probably the worst string that I have ever used. I have a
Babolat Pure Drive Plus. I purchased this string, thinking it would be a good string. Wow
was I wrong. The tension stayed for about 1 set, then the tension became very low.
Durability was about the only thing I found to be good about this string.
Comments: This string played a lot crisper than I (perhaps unrealistically)
expected, which I don't like. It's a personal preference, but if you like soft strings, I'd look
Comments: Gosen Og-Sheep Micro 16 (or 17) feels like Prince Synthetic Gut but
with much better feel and a little softer, though just as crisp.
Comments: I found Gosen Og-Sheep Micro 17 string to be a good all around
string on a racquet strung at higher tensions. It plays well and provides a decent blend of
control, power and durability. It
has performed to my expectations. I keep it on one of my racquets and, as a stringer, I
recommend it to other tennis
players looking for a good all-around string. While I believe that some other strings are over
priced, you can't beat the price of this string for its overall performance.
Comments: Gosen Og-Sheep Micro 17 Natural is a good all-around string for
those of us with limited budgets. It doesn't play as nicely (or with as much spin) as the
Gosen 18, but it lasts at least twice as long. Where the Gosen 18 lasts me about a week
and a half, I can sometimes get as much as a month out of the Gosen 17 before it simply
must be changed. Good feel, good control, good price ... I string it up pretty tight because I
don't need power from my strings, and it always performs as expected.
Comments:If you're the type of player who finds the thicker, more durable strings
too lifeless and lacking in feel, then Gosen Og-Sheep Micro 17 Natural might be the string
for you. I get excellent feel and plenty of power with this and will now not use anything else.
There may be other strings out there which will give you a little (and I do mean little) extra
performance, but you won't find anything to come close to its combination of playability and
price. I highly recommend it.
Comments:Gosen Og-Sheep Micro 17 Natural has very nice playability and ball
bite make it a great deal for an all court type game. It might be the fact that it's thinner than
regular 17g. string. You can guess the drawback -- durability. I broke one string after 4 sets
which I never experienced before. The feeling of the ball is average but power is plenty. It's
as comfortable as some "soft" versions in the Prince line up. Nice baseline string.

Kauffman Foundation Small Research Projects Research Paper No. 2
Our earlier research paper, Anatomy of an Entrepreneur, provided some insights into the motivations of founders of high-growth companies, as well as their socio- economic, educational, and familial backgrounds. We found that technology entrepreneurs are most likely to come from middle-class backgrounds, to have parents who are less educated than they are, and to be married with children when they launch their first companies. Their primary motivations for launching a company are financial and emotional. They wanted to build wealth and had a business idea on which they wanted to capitalize. Many said they had always wanted their own companies some day.
In this paper, we explore company founders' opinions and observations about their own trajectory and what influenced the success or failure of their businesses. By understanding what entrepreneurs think and believe, we hope to provide more insights into how to better support entrepreneurs and create societal, political, and economic conditions that can more efficiently foster entrepreneurship.
This research is based on a survey of 549 company founders in a variety of industries, including aerospace and defense, computer and electronics, health care, and services.

Friends, family honor crash victim at football game
Friends, family honor crash victim at football game
CRAVEN COUNTY - White ribbons dotted the crowd at Havelock's home football game Friday night.
The ribbons memorialized Janie Queen, a 2010 Havelock alumna who died Thursday when her car crashed into Slocum Creek.
"Everybody misses her," Queen's sister, Fiance Bryant, said.
Queen's sudden death robbed her family and friends of the ability to say goodbye; they wrote messages to Janie on balloons they planned to release at Havelock's game against West Carteret High School.
"The good die young," Brandon Fung said, adding that Queen was "like a little sister."
Police continue to investigate the crash.
Previous Story:
Havelock Police have identified the driver killed in a Thursday crash. Janie Carollyn Queen, 20, was driving down Church Road when her car went into a creek.
Queen graduated from Havelock High School in 2010. To honor her memory, friends and students are wearing a white ribbon.
A memorial with flowers, candles, and letters was erected on Church Road Bridge for Queen.
Preliminary investigation suggests that Queen drowned after the vehicle was submerged in the water.
Queen was pronounced dead at the scene by Havelock EMS staff.
The accident is still under investigation.
The investigation continued Friday morning into what caused a fatal crash Thursday in which a woman's car ran off a road and into a creek.
The woman was driving a white 2001 Toyota Camry eastbound on Church Road when the car ran off the road to the left and into Slocum Creek, according to a Havelock Police spokeswoman.
The crash happened about 3 p.m.
A dive team from Atlantic Beach went about 20 feet underwater to help recover the car.
A Cherry Point Marine and a member of the Coast Guard tried to save the woman after seeing a car in the water.
"We went down and tried to go get her," said Brandon Miller, a sergeant who returned from his third deployment earlier this month.
"It's heartbreaking," Miller said of the incident.

The success of the Galaxy Note has made Samsung (SSNLF.PK) an early winner in the phone-tablet hybrid, or phablet, battle, according to analysts at Barclays Capital, though Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will likely pose a big challenge soon.
The phablet phenomenon is "changing the competitive dynamics of the mobile device market," analysts including Dale Gai, SC Bae, Yuji Fujimori, and Kirk Yang wrote in a note to investors on Wednesday. The analysts predict that the device will be the main driver for technology migrations in the months and years to come. While the success of the device has brought "more bad news for the [Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)] PC/Win8 industry," another possible impact is that Apple would be forced to offer a larger screen on future iPhones.
Our 20-page proprietary analysis of Apple's stock is ready. Click here to get your Cheat Sheet report now.
"At last, we expect some strong competition for the iPhone in 2013 with the rise of phablets," the analysts wrote. "In response, we expect Apple to come out with both a larger- and smaller-screen phone in its product line-up by 2014; with the bigger screen version likely to be 4.5 inches and possibly 50-100 million units per year."
But powered by the Galaxy Note, Samsung is on track to take 40 percent of the device market share this year. Future Note models, the eventual Galaxy S4, and the seven-inch Galaxy Tab will "further strengthen Samsung's leadership in phablet devices."
The phablet market may see as much as 70 percent compounded annual growth through 2015 — going up to 402 million units from an estimated 84 million units shipped last year, the analysts predict. Its definition will also change.
"In our view, as the screen sizes of mainstream high-end smartphones (excluding the iPhone 5) in the second half of 2012 have all migrated to displays of 4.6 inches and above, we believe the term phablet should apply to all crossover mobile devices, ranging from mainstream smartphones (4-5 inches) to small-size tablets (7-8 inches)," they wrote.

Invasion! Jets v Coyotes G3
Dean Belanger
October 15 2011 09:34AM
October 15 2011, 09:52AM
Prediction #3 will get its first new chapter in at least 15 years next Saturday. Bombers-Als play at Canad Inns at 2, Jets-Canes go at MTS at 6.
As you know, I'm still doing stuff for FN, so thanks a bunch to the schedule makers for having the Jets, Flames and Bombers all play at 6pm this evening. I know, #firstworldproblems and all that.
October 15 2011, 10:33AM
Great stuff Dean. Should be an awesomenight for the Jets down in Phoenix! I am predicting a win as well. As for Shane Doan, he is a good hard working prairie boy, so it is difficult to be mad at him. But I would sure love if he accepted a trade to Winnipeg at the trade deadline, but that is a dream more than anything. I wish somebody else further west in California would accept a trade to Winnipeg at the deadline :)

On July 12th a Park Ranger made a stunning discovery. A large crack, 150 feet long, 4 inches wide and in some places 6 feet deep had developed right down the center line of the The Blue Ridge Parkway just north of Asheville. Since that time the crack has grown to 200 feet long and 8 inches wide forcing the closure of a 20 mile stretch of the scenic highway to cars. Apparently the ground below the crack has been saturated with the heavy rains that have left our area lush and green this summer. Cars traveling from Asheville to Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain peak in the eastern US, are being detoured to I40 and US221 through Spruce Pine. Cyclists and hikers can still access the road, at least until repairs begin. July and October are the busiest months of the year for visitors to the Asheville area and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Luckily there is still access to all areas of the Parkway from Asheville south to Cherokee which includes The Folk Art Center and the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitors Center. This section of the Parkway offers beautiful views, plenty of hiking trails, Mount Pisgah and the Pisgah National Forest, Graveyard Fields, Devil's Courthouse and the Cradle of Forestry Overlook. Asheville is ideally located to provide easy access to outdoor activities and beautiful scenery, from the waterfalls of Dupont State Forest to rafting along the French Broad River or a visit to the North Carolina Arboretum with beautiful gardens as well as wooded trails. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are close as well.
There is still plenty to see and do in the area. Asheville itself has beautiful views and hosts events all summer long. The Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands, with over 300 exhibitors is here this weekend and Bele Cher, the largest free music and arts street festival in the Southeast is here next weekend. Folkmoot USA, a two week celebration of world cultures with international folk music and dance is going on right now. Just a few of the other festivals this summer include the Mountain Dance & Folk Festival August 1-3, The Village Art & Craft Fair on the Grounds of the All Souls Cathedral in Biltmore Village on Aug. 3-4 and the LAAFF music and arts street fair on Labor Day weekend. A great place to get information on summer festivals as well as the many outdoor activities in the Asheville area is www.romanticasheville.com.

With the impending finals of the Queen Elisabeth Competition beginning this coming Monday, I would like to invite you to join me in reflecting on the following thoughts that are so contemporary in terms of interpretation, fashions, young musicians and the world of musical marketing.
An extract from a text by Sir Colin Davis:
Nowadays interpretation follows several different trends.
There is the industry of musicians playing their ancient instruments, following the indications given on the score. In my opinion this is a nonsense. These elements do not provide us with information as to how to play the music in different epochs nor how composers supposedly wanted it to be played. One day when I was young conductor and proud of respecting the instructions given, Stravinsky said to me: "My dear boy, they actually only exist at the beginning of the score".
On the other hand, there is an ancient musical tradition to which Arthur Grumiaux belongs. A tradition of passion for music that is particularly evident in germanic countries and also represented by soloists such as Artur Schnabel, Claudio Arrau amongst others. This is the very tradition that surpasses the impact of fashion, the artifices generated by the situation of the music industry, record market and competition between the "stars".
Nowadays everything must happen at speed. The maturation of a piece, the maturity of a human trajectory have ceased to be poles of attraction for many young performers.
The vertiginous spiral of technological perfection and technical precision distances us from the music.
"Play Wieniawski and become a celebrity".
Arthur Grumiaux was diametrically opposed to all this superficial facility.
In summary, thank you dear Colin Davis for dotting the i's and crossing the t's even if, in my opinion, the greatest Baroque musicians such as Nikolaus Harnoncourt, John Eliot Gardiner and some others also belong to the musical tradition mentioned.

Those of us who didn't make the drive out to the Cache River Wetlands last Thursday missed out. But a few souls did head over to celebrate Christmas in our Southern Illinois swamps as this release regarding the Wetlands Holiday Open House attests:
The Cache River Wetlands holiday open house was a mouth-watering success, as usual! Over 200 friends, family, and outdoor enthusiasts joined Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Friends of the Cache River Watershed and The Nature Conservancy at the Refuge office on December 6th in Ullin, IL.
This annual open House provides an opportunity for refuge staff to meet community members, visitors and volunteers while taking part in the usual sumptuous holiday feast, which consisted of everything from venison stew to turkey gumbo and a picturesque array of desserts. Refuge staff appreciates all of the folks who came out to visit and share their interest in the Cache River Wetlands, and we hope to see you next year.

Fyi Miami
Written by Miami Today on April 8, 2004
Miami is a weekly feature of Miami Today, keeping readers ahead
of the news. Here are highlights from the most current edition.
FREE QUARTERS: BankAtlantic is set to give away $1,825 in a statewide promotion, handing out newly released 25-cent pieces in its 73 branches Friday. The coins bearing Florida's insignia, released by the US Mint as part of its 50 States Quarter Program, are part of a program to issue a new quarter every 10 weeks from 1999 to 2008. BankAtlantic plans to distribute 100 Florida coins at each branch across Florida. The Fort Lauderdale bank has more than a dozen branches in Miami-Dade County. Marketing chief Jarett Levan said he expects customers to sweep up the coins within an hour.
DEALS FOR RIDERS: Check out mass transit and get a discount at a local business. That's what the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority is trying in an attempt to get more commuters interested in tri-county transit. Coupons for things such as 10% of the price of a meal at Di Salvo's in Hollywood to a free home appraisal are available at the transit board's Web site, www.sfrta.fl.gov.
FAST TRACK: The Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust is to vote April 28 to limit its review time for contracts. The watchdog group introduced a resolution last week that would require members to act on a contract or amendment to the transportation plan within 45 days of the county commission's approval. All contracts funded by the voter-created half-cent sales tax need trust approval. According to the 10-month-old trust, it acts in an average 39 days after commission approval. Commissioner Dennis Moss said last month that the trust could intentionally delay a contract, though he did not say that has occurred.
MIDTOWN JOBS: Developers of the 56-acre Midtown Miami project in one of Miami's poorest communities sponsored a workshop last week for local residents interested in jobs with the project. The mixed-use development on the former Buena Vista rail yard site is expected to create 3,500 jobs, mostly in construction and security. Residents of Wynwood were able to apply for the jobs at the workshop before applications were opened to the general public.
DOLLARS FLY: Miami International Airport is spending $2 million a day on its $4.8 billion airport expansion, airport officials say. Almost $1.4 billion of work is finished and $2.8 billion of construction is under way, according to a construction report released March 31. The projects include two new terminals, a new runway and $100 million in security infrastructure.
PULLING OUT: Margaret Pulles, vice president of strategic affairs at the Miami Museum of Science and Space Transit Planetarium, is leaving for a post with the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority. Ms. Pulles, who has worked toward getting the museum a home in Miami's Bicentennial Park, is to step down today (4/8) and become the expressway panel's director of communications and public affairs April 19. The expressway authority oversees the county's five toll roads. It currently outsources its public relations to a private firm.
HITTING THE ROAD: Road America Motor Club, a roadside-assistance company, will move its divisional headquarters into 22,935 square feet of space at Airport Corporate Center. The company said it will relocate several offices to the site. The center, at 7300 Corporate Center Drive, contains more than 1 million square feet in 11 buildings.
DREDGING DEAL DUE: The Army Corps of Engineers is evaluating proposals to dredge the Miami River, spokesman Barry Vorse said. The Miami River Commission says the $54 million to $72 million project is vital to maintain a depth of 15 feet for cargo ships and to prevent contaminants from flowing into Biscayne Bay. US Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen wrote to the corps in February expressing concerns that millions of dollars in federal funds to dredge the river are no longer available, but officials said work should begin in late summer. A contract was to have been awarded Jan. 21, but the corps delayed a decision. Mr. Vorse said he was "confident" the contract would be awarded in one to two weeks.
AUTHORITY FIGURE: Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority CEO Jim Jenkins is still in charge, more than six months after he resigned. News that he sent a resignation letter to authority chairman Manny Diaz came out in October, and he later told the board he would step down Dec. 31. Mr. Jenkins, the 10th executive director of the 20-year-old authority, said Monday that he would probably stay on until a new leader is found. A committee is to be appointed in coming weeks to review candidates.
ISLAND PARKING: The Miami Parking Authority broke ground Tuesday on a 340-space parking lot on Watson Island east of Miami Children's Museum. Projected cost of the lot is nearly $813,000, according to the authority. In addition to the museum, it is expected to accommodate spillover from Parrot Jungle Island. The parking authority recently finished a $445,300 upgrade to the island's boat ramp and nearby lot next to Parrot Jungle and Ichimura Miami-Japan Garden, on the north side of the island off MacArthur Causeway. The amphibious Miami Duck Tours also operates from that site.
ILLUMINATING BAYFRONT: Talks will continue with non-profit group Light Up Miami, which wants to take over Bayfront Park's laser tower, said Timothy Schmand, executive director of the park's management trust. He said he agreed with Light Up's leader, Carlos Batista, about using the tower as a beacon for the community but "I don't necessarily think it means lasers." A revitalization plan calls for dismantling the monolith's beam machines. The trust plans to renovate the structure's restrooms and find a use for space on its west side, now a storage site, Mr. Schmand said. The pair met Friday about using the tower's base for vendors.
KISLAK GOES TO WASHINGTON: A primary concern for Jay and Jean Kislak was that the Kislak Collection, donated Tuesday by the Miami Lakes couple to the Library of Congress, be on view to the public. "They want the collection to be shared both with the academic community and with children, families, tourists and the public at large," said publicist Phyllis Shapiro. The collection of more than 4,000 books, manuscripts, historic documents, maps and art will be in the North Gallery of the library temporarily. A permanent display is planned at the Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington. Mr. Kislak, chairman of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, which works with the US Department of State, is founder of J.I. Kislak Mortgage Corp. Jean Kislak is an art historian and consultant.
VENTURE BEARS FRUIT: Related Group of Florida last week started building The Venture, a 500-condo mixed-use development at 187th Street and 29th Avenue in Aventura. Units sold out on the first day on the market, the company said. Construction should be finished by the fourth quarter of 2005, Related said. The building, designed by Arquitectonica, is to have 18,000 square feet of retail, three swimming pools, a spa and a gym.
GOOD MORNING, MIAMI: Three developers, Miami transportation planner Mary Conway and the Downtown Development Authority's executive director, Dana Nottingham, will hash out "The New Face of Downtown Miami" at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at Miami City Club. It's part of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce's Good Morning Breakfast Series and will be moderated by Miami Today Publisher and Editor Michael Lewis. Also speaking will be Tim Weller of MDM Development Group, developer of Metropolitan Miami; and Rudy Touzet of America's Capital Partners and Tim Hendricks of Cousins Properties, developers of the Columbus Center. Details: (305) 577-5471.

Cleveland Town's new playground was officially opened this past weekend. The park expansion has been an ongoing project over the past two years. With grants from the Permanent Community Impact Board, Community Development Block Grant and the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, the town was able to purchase the property to expand the park and install new sprinklers in the existing park.
They were also able to build a new concession building that is available to rent for parties and family reunions. A parking lot was also added to allow parking away from Main Street.
The final addition was the new playground equipment, dinosaurs, a fire truck, train, climbing wall, swings and slides and more.
Savage Industries and KFJ Trucking donated heavy equipment for the ground work that was done this spring.
The Cleveland Town employees are happy to see the equipment installed and available for the kids to play on.
Grass will be planted in the spring along with some additional fencing.
The town recently received a tree planting grant which will allow new trees to be planted in the spring also.
The park will be a welcome addition to the city and the added space will be helpful when the town has its annual 24th of July celebration. The project has been a real community effort to improve the town.

In April, NPR reported on how Vision Media was calling up non-profits, promising them a Hugh Downs-anchored PBS special. All they would have to do is underwrite the production costs. Instead, those who signed up and paid up got a pile of poorly made ads on DVD, and no airtime. Now the firm seems to once again changed names and hosts. They're going by "World Progress Report" and the ostensible anchor is former Good Morning America newscaster Joan Lunden.
"World Progress Report" Latest Incarnation Of Vision Media
Vision Media Tries To Squash Blogging Of Public Documents Re:Frivolous Lawsuit
The makers of the Hugh Downs video ripoff we wrote about are suing 800notes.com, a site that lets people anonymously post info about unsolicited calls they receive. Vision Media wants the posters' identities revealed. That's not uncommon, but what's really rich is that they asked the judge for a gag order to stop 800notes lawyer, Paul Levy of Public Citizen, from posting the motions about the case online. Yes, they wanted to stop people from reposting public documents because doing so was "embarrassing" and "defamatory".
Ripoff Video Maker "Vision Media Television" Renames As "Great America HD"
"Vision Media Television," after getting exposed in a NY Times story as a ripoff production company, has changed its name to "GreatAmericaHD" and is back to its same tricks. The way it works is they call up non-profit organizations with an alluring pitch: a chance to be featured in a nationally-broadcast PBS show anchored by established broadcaster. In this case, Hugh Downs. What they don't tell you is that you'll have to front upwards of $20,000 in production costs, and the "program" they shoot will never see the light of day.
So-Called PBS "Production Company" Sues Blogger For $20 Million
Don't blog about how a shady production company tried to rip you off for $25,000 or they'll sue you for $20 million. Vision Media Television is one of several different alleged ripoff artists who frequently target non-profit and socially-aware groups, promising a big TV special aired on PBS and/or other major networks showcasing the group. The show is supposedly anchored by ex-20/20 anchor Hugh Downs and will reach millions upon millions of people. The catch? The organization has to pay for the production costs up-front, which run into the tens of thousands of dollars…and the show never goes on TV.

Denim short shorts are all the rage, and Cali-based blogger Aimee Song knows a thing or two about how to rock a pair. In this recent snap of her walking around Venice Beach she styles a pair of high waisted vintage Levi's denim shorts with a cute breezy rainbow knit top by Anarchy Street for a perfect late summer look. A chunky western-inspired belt and killer boots add a perfect trendy touch—we love! This is definitely a look you might want to hit the boardwalk in before the summer comes to an end.

Ole Miss and Mississippi State enter the second week of SEC play riding high and sitting atop the league standings.
Both teams are 2-0 in the SEC, tying them for first place with three other teams. It's still early, of course, but the Rebels and Bulldogs have good reason to feel good about what they accomplished Saturday.
Ole Miss, 13-2 overall, won its fifth consecutive game with a dominating 64-49 win over No. 10 Missouri. MSU (7-7), meanwhile, scored its first road victory of the season, taking down Georgia 72-61.
"It is like we finally got a monkey off our backs," Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said. "Being able to get that road win in the first conference road game makes it even sweeter."
It's been a tough season for the injury-plagued Bulldogs, but they've now won three in a row and should be plenty confident going into Alabama's home game against Alabama (8 p.m., CSS).
Ole Miss is coming off its biggest win since beating a top-10 Kentucky team two years ago, and it's a victory that should greatly boost the postseason résumé. The Rebels' RPI ranking jumped 18 spots to 45th, according to RealTimeRPI.com.
Coach Andy Kennedy said strong defense is what's gotten his team this far.
"We've got good defenders," Kennedy said. "We've got a great shot-blocker, and we're pretty physical. For us it's all about approach."
Up next is a trip to struggling Vanderbilt on Tuesday (8 p.m., ESPNU).
Ole Miss is seeking its first NCAA tournament berth since 2002 and first under Kennedy, who's in his seventh season at the school. As for MSU, making the tourney is still a long shot.
But this SEC start couldn't be any better, for either team.

Rob Rouse
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2003
This show has not yet got a description.
Original Review:
Rob Rouse is an energetic, effervescent performer, but his bubblegum comedy seems increasingly superficial and immature for a man approaching his 30th birthday.
He bounded on stage and chatted animatedly about his day, his drunken neighbours, his auditions and explained how he came to be wearing a T-shirt promoting the boy band Blazing Squad.
In an attempt to endear the audience he shared various aspects of his life, his village upbringing, his disdain for middle-class comedians - professing instead desire to celebrate life, music and cats.
Rouse's manner takes in elements of Daniel Kitson and Ross Noble, but his material falls a long way short of their standards. At one point he gave up struggling with it for some audience badinage, but this didn't fare much better. Although he did dish out ice pops, which would endear him to any overheated punters.
The guitar was then produced for a rendition of Radiohead's Creep in a particulary whingy voice - very amusing, but an isolated moment of hilarity in an otherwise unexciting show.
Ultimately, Rouse's 'mucking about in the student bar' mentality feels far too slight. He would be better off employing his obvious talent to less juvenile and puerile material.

Well I liked the ice lolly too, but thought the show overall was very poor. Paying eight quid for a lolly is a little expensive. I hadn't seen him before and wont bother seeing him again.

This was marvellous fun - his happy energetic performance and some excellent observation made this an absolute treat. And free ice-pops. Highly recommended

Simply quite adorable. Laughed all the way through. Most grateful for the free ice-pop (a stroke of genius).

Saw him as warm-uo guy for recording of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps on 28/11/03. He is hilarious - gag on Stephen Hawking was bad taste but otherwise I was splitting my sides.

Perhaps you've read some recent news articles about copyright laws. It affects a lot really, especially in our digital lives; everything from music to cell phones. In the library world, it especially affects what e-books we can provide for you.
Sci-fi writer, Cory Doctorow, illustrates one side of the issue with an intriguing analogy in the book The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.
