chevy 350 help
I have searched the internet read books and articles and have too many ideas, not enough time or money and need some down to earth solid direction.
First off I have an 84 camaro z28. The 305 was replaced with a 350 by previous owner. The 350 was a TBI engine with center bolt heads #193s. The TBI unit was removed and the carb, intake, and distributor from the 305 was used. Who ever did the work on this car tried to make something out of it but by the time I came around to buying it there were plenty of problems. When I first got it about 8 months ago It smoked bad some of the time. Kept losing transmission fluid and was running rich idle mixture screws had no effect on the engine. I could run them all the way in and it would just keep running.
After weeks of trouble shooting in my spare time added a fuel pressure regulator since I found an electric fuel pump hooked up. (Only found this out since there was a 14 gauge speaker wire shoved into one of the fuses in the fuse box which I thought was just a power wire they used for an amp that use to be in there since all the wiring was still in the trunk for it. I happened to kick the wire out of the fuse box with my foot getting out one night and it took about 30 minutes to find out it was my fuel pump power the next morning when my car won't run.)
With the fuel pressure regulator I was able to set my idle mixture screws. Made some improvement at idle.
A few days later I come to discover someone had hooked a manifold vacuum line from the carb to the vent tube on the transmission. This was the source of my smoking issue and transmission leak.
3 months ago I had lost my 3-4 clutch pack in the transmission. Probably from the constant drops in transmission fluid in the car over the years. Luckily my wife had a bonus and gave me $3000 to spend on my car. I spend 1200 to have the transmission rebuilt. The shop modified the valve body, he said he could do the same thing a shift kit would do and I won't have to spend the extra money on the kit. Also he updated the transmission with a 30 spline input shaft from the 27 spline.
I had a hard time trying to decide what to do with the car. It looks good from a distance but needs TLC to just about everything.
I had 2 olds 403 motors which I wanted to build one to put in the camaro since I have seen some good results from this combo online. 2 Friends from work each tried to talk me into a different direction. One was a simple man and told me just to stick with the 350 since parts are easy to find and I could get things on impulse since that's how I end up buying most of my stuff. While my other friend has always work on 350's wanted me to build the 403 since it has some great low end torque and this car was going to continue to be a daily driver, I just want the most power in a dependable street car.
So I decided to put money into the simple bolt on stuff. Holley 600 carb with vac sec. MSD street fire distributor, Edelbrock performer RPM intake, UMI subframe connectors, Energy Suspension Master Bushing kit, MSD custom wires, New A/C compressor, hoses, orifice tube, evaporator core, and accumulator.
Now at this point in time I have only installed the Distributor, Carb and the A/C components. I did install the sway bar end links in the bushing kit since they were quick and easy.
I have been waiting on the intake since I have been thinking about doing the cam and heads.
The bad thing is I just spent 5 grand to move for my wife and kids and took a 30,000 dollar a year pay cut with my new job. Our cost of living is much less since we moved to Iowa from Mississippi. I am limited to maybe $300 a month I can spare on "extras" for my car, as my wife calls it.
So what do I do?
Do I just go ahead an put the intake on there and worry about the cam and heads in a year?
Do I save some money and get new heads and a new cam?
Do I get a new cam and used heads?
Or do I stop where I am at with the engine and finish the suspension and interior. And save for a new motor altogether?
Should I build the 403?
I have 3 small kids, ages 2,3,4, so I don't have much free time. 98% of my tools I keep at work. the only good thing is my step father and uncle both live 30 minutes away and are both pretty good shade trees.
What do you all think. I drive about 3 miles a day. maybe 30 to 40 miles a week.
I don't know how many miles on the engine all I know is that it seems stock. I have also replaced the starer and alternator.
Give me your suggestions so hopefully I will have an better idea of what to shot for.
Small block to small block I am a 350 fan. depending on what your 350 came out of, stock should be around 220. The olds 403 from 77- 79 came equiped with 185 stock. But with with a little cash you could be pushing 300-350 hp with it. A set of early olds 350 heads for more compression. You will want to add a cam and intake to match the heads. upgrade your HEI to include a 50,000 volt coil. must stress, the details (degree the cam, port match the intake and heads, performance HEI with curve kit) will maximize your performance gains. cost roughly
Chevy Help
Stick with the small block, cheap and reliable. Add stuff when you can. Interior and paint won't get you home. It's gotta run and stop to do that.

I have come to realize I need to be patient with my car and that this is a project that I will have for many years to come. I want to have a car that I can take to a show someday but able to drive it around. I think it should handle and drive as well as it looks. So for me my plan is to make every upgrade that will improve drive and handling as well as looks.
I want to be able to enjoy driving it as much as I enjoy working on it.
My ultimate goal is to get the most power out of it without turning it into a race car.

This is a good reason to carry pepper spray.
Anybody that thinks the thin sheet metal shelves at Wally World are cover needs some training.
Just so we clear on what was originally written by the OP and so that people like "varob" don't try to rewrite history with their own versions, let's take a look at what was actually written in the original post by the OP:
The OP never said "more on that later". That statement does not appear anywhere in his post. Your statement claiming he did say it, is inaccurate so it can't be a "key". He did say "So what did I do?" followed immediately by "I'll let you know later-" and "After others say what they would do." The OP is telling us that he will let us know what he did later after other people say what they will do. The OP makes no mention that there are further assessments of the situation that are not being shared at this time nor does he imply that the situation might be something other that what it initially appears to be. In fact the OP does exactly the opposite by implying that the assessment is over and his next comments will be to describe the actions he took and not to describe the additional assessments he observed.Quote:
Real Scenario at my local Wally World
I thought I would pass along something that happened the other day while I was at Walmart. (REAL STORY!)
I just dropped my daughter off for her drama practice and needed to kill a little time, get some gas, pick up some OTC meds & groceries. I decided a trip to WW for allow me to meet my criteria; so off I went.
Everything was going good until I had been in the grocery section for a few minutes. I began to hear a man yelling, cursing & throwing items an isle or two over. At the same time a small panic set in with some other shoppers and they began "hurrying" out of the area and saying; "somebody needs to call the police 'she' needs help!"
My first thought is some guy is beating up on his wife. (Sorry guys, that just isn't going to happen in my presence.)
I look over at the end of the isle & see several brothers (BIG guys!) standing there looking down the isle where the cursing, screaming & throwing stuff is happening. Nobody is doing nothing. Nor, is anyone on the phone. But, it sounds like the woman needs help.
When I get there I can see a BIG white man (6'3" 300+), cussing at this woman knocking stuff off the shelf & threatening to hurt her. (It really looked like it could go bad FAST!)
So what did I do?
I'll let you know later-
After others say what they would do.
I'm not going to stand in the middle of the aisle so I can experience what it would feel like to get beamed in the head with a can of corn.
You are barking orders to people who you don't know, figuring that they will assume you are in charge and not a lunatic all the while you are putting "cover" (actually concealment) between you and the apparent criminal so you cannot see him. You then will bark orders at an already enraged man with the hopes that he goes "golly gee willikers, I guess I got out of hand, I better sit here and contemplate my navel while I await the arrival of the cops."
There are lots of things that could go south with this routine, but the two biggest are that the person you barked at to call the cops calls them on both of you - as previously mentioned. The second thing is that by losing your line of sight, "shouting from behind cover", you have no idea how the guy is reacting. What happens if he draws a concealed weapon and comes around the end of the aisle that you are using for cover and opens up on you? What happens if he just shoots through the shelves toward your voice. Just sayin...
Going of topic, but I do indeed remember the release of Pearl Jam's second album. I was working in a music store at the time. I was working one day with one other coworker, the shipment of them had just arrived and I was ecstatic that it was on the approved play list. We opened a copy of it, popped it in the CD player. My coworker and I looked at each other in what was a true, "what the ..." moment. The album sucked. We couldn't believe it.
The scenario as it was originally presented in summary is this:
6' 3" 300+ pound man is yelling, throwing food and is about to beat the tar out of a woman which could result in serious bodily hard and/or death. There is no more assessing to be done...it is time to act. What actions would you take?
So what do you do...
Do you stand there and do nothing?
Do you call 911 and then stand there and do nothing?
Do you video the incident?
Do you run away?
Do you intervene physically?
Do you intervene verbally?
Do you be a "good witness" and do nothing but watch someone get beaten and possibly murdered?
Do you try and do something to help this person?
Since the guy hadn't actually harmed anyone yet but he is about to do so within the next few seconds, I chose to tell someone to call 911 so that I could try to help the woman by attempting to intervene verbally from a distance. Hopefully my action would help the woman...If they didn't, I'd have to reassess the situation after my initial actions were taken and I'd make any necessary adjustments.
At this point I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks about my initial actions...I'm just proud not to be standing with the people who choose to do nothing while a woman gets beaten by a man.
The woman was NOT getting beat by the guy. Maybe you need to re-read my OP and quit trying to "T". There was at least FIVE men standing there observing things. If this guy had tried to hit his mother, he would have been the one getting the beat down. (I even said as much in my OP.)Quote:
At this point I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks about my initial actions...I'm just proud not to be standing with the people who choose to do nothing while a woman gets beaten by a man.
My whole point of the thread was getting people to "THINK" and take time to assess a situation before acting. The point has been made and I think this thread has done what it was intended to do.

Commentary: Highway to the danger zone
Remember MacGyver? He was the fictional television secret agent of 1980s television who would get out of world-threatening jams using only duct tape and a Swiss Army knife. Listening to Pope Francis in Korea the other day, I had some flashbacks to the prime-time show.
Pope Francis, who has described the church as a field hospital, doesn't even need hardware-store items; he bandages wounds with invitations to the Gospel and the sacraments of the church.
As Christians and other religious minorities are being forced out of Iraq; as tear gas was used on protesters after the death of an unarmed young man in Missouri; as news reports continued to go into graphic detail about the suicide of the beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams; as North Koreans couldn't attend any of his Masses in their divided country, Pope Francis pointed to hope.
He said: "The hope held out by the Gospel is the antidote to the spirit of despair that seems to grow like a cancer in societies which are outwardly affluent, yet often experience inner sadness and emptiness. Upon how many of our young has this despair taken its toll! May they, the young who surround us in these days with their joy and confidence, never be robbed of their hope!"
Again and again, the Pope repeats some variation of what he said in Korea: Do not let yourself be robbed of hope. For there is theft happening all around us, as the recent news shows: theft of dignity, of our freedoms and even of our lives.
In civilization that has become so secularized — even hostile — to real religious faith, Pope Francis reminds Christians that living their faith in the public square — in every aspect of life — and sharing it is part of their Gospel mandate. Also, do not be robbed, he's said, of "community" and "fraternal love," and, perhaps most importantly, joy.
"The human heart aspires to great things, to important values, to profound friendships, bonds that are strengthened rather than broken by the trials of life," Pope Francis said earlier this summer. "Human beings aspire to be loved, and to be loved definitively. Do not let yourselves be robbed of the desire to construct great and solid things in your lives! Do not be satisfied with half-measures!"
Standing in the bar car of an Amtrak train that was going backward in the Northeast the other night, (which might be a better metaphor for life than I could have come up with on my own), — I talked to a weary young man in his early 30s, who explained that he got married in the church but hasn't been to Mass since, talked about what "a stand-up guy" Pope Francis is, dubbing him "the boss."
Warm feelings abound about Francis, certainly. But what is the Pope saying? His point is that we were created for a life so much better than the one we're currently living. Not pain-free, mind you, but one where suffering matters, where it is redemptive.
If a few more of us lived Christian hope, the rest of the world might see the difference and want it for themselves, or at least want people of real religious faith around. Until then, Western culture will become increasingly intolerant of people who want to live their faith in the world.
For the sake of Christians the world over who will live and die for their faith, we ought to work some MacGyver moves of our own, joining Pope Francis in trying to end the highway robbery that we've brought upon ourselves, and even acquiesced to. The highway to heaven is a whole lot better.

MAXIMUM PADDLING SENTENCE- Bare Bottom School Swats for Casey & Christy Casey and Christy sit gingerly at their school desks as the teacher scolds them for cheating on a test, backsides tender from the strap and cane. Eyes downcast, nervous anticipation of what's to come, sentenced to the maximum amount of paddle swats the school allows. One at a time ordered to stand, lower the panties and place their hands on the wall. The punishment paddle is almost 2 feet long and 4 inches across of smooth heavy hardwood. Lining up each swat for maximum impact and instructing her to count, Casey takes the first swat. The explosion of the paddle on her bare bottom buckles her knees and a fresh scream from her throat, but this is just the beginning of a long paddling that will leave both girls bruised and sobbing as they learn their lesson SCHOOL DISCIPLINE, SPANKED SCHOOLGIRLS, DOMESTIC DISCIPLINE, SPANKED TO TEARS, SCOLDING, BARE BOTTOM SPANKING, PADDLED TO TEARS, BRUISES, CRYING

The President's Bodyguard (PBG), as is known today, was raised in 1773 at Benares by the then Governor, Warren Hastings. Since being first christened as 'The Guard of Moguls' in 1773, the Regiment has had various titles viz. 'The Governor General's Bodyguard
(GGBG)' in 1784, 'The Viceroy's Bodyguard' in 1858, the '44th Divisional Reconnaissance Squadron GGBG' in 1944, before getting back it's old title "The Governor General's Bodyguard" in 1947. With India becoming a Republic on 26 January 1950, the Regiment came
to be known as - "The President's Bodyguard".
A new 'Change of Guard' ceremony was unveiled at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on December 8, 2012 to the media. This ceremony will be held every Saturday at 10 am and will be open to the public who will only have to produce a photo ID at the place of entry to
Rashtrapati Bhavan from Gate No. 2 near Prime Minister's Office.

A quick deconstruct, then how to put it back together.
Elements -
People: three main players - bride most important, none of them looking your way, traditional wear, bouquet
Secondary man
Background - cluttered, car, signs, man, lots of other bits.
There are a few decisions to be made, the first is context v isolation. If going for context you need to weigh up how to present what. does the man have a place in the image? As is, I'd say no, but if he were slightly more in shot, maybe someone else with him and e bit of expression he could become a vital component. The way third party passers by react to weddings can give great context and add interest to a shot. But if you can't make him work, then you need to lose him.
Though he doesn't work in the shot, I find the crop on the bouquet a greater issue. Like the man, its right on the edge of the image, which is rarely a position to place anything whether its a distraction or a part of the subject. A tilt of the camera, bend of the knee and/or rotation of the camera are all options. Getting the bouquet in shot obviously gets more of her dress in shot too, not a bad thing.
Timing - I think this is a slightly dull moment. Cheesy grins to a different photographer make a very passive shot from your viewpoint. OK, get a shot in the bag, but then wait it out and get an expression worth capturing.-- hide signature --

AlchemistNZ Soapmaker: Blah, blah blah....get on with it. We already know the mucked-up demo was frustrating. Listening to you go on and on about it is even more frustrating. Almost 3 minutes of a 4minute long video! Just do it for crying out loud.
Katt Hewitt: You are gorgeous!
Paige: Yall brave, no damn way am I putting a curling iron near my eyes.
Nikol Johnson: Yes Facebook/freshbeautystudio
Nikol Johnson: If using an eyelash curler properly you shouldn't have any damage to your natural lashes. You need to be gentle and not tug or pull on your lashes when they are in the lash curler. The heated lash curler will give you staying power like how I explain in the video. xoxo thanks for asking and let me know if you are able to use the lash curler without damage.
Alba Garcia: Love the video! Is it better to use that,little heat device that an actual curler. I've been using false eyelashes because my lashes would fall off when using the eyelash curler. Want to try new things just like your video! :)
Erica Drayton: np.Im going to check out more video's from you. when you get a chance check out my channel im new to youtube and this is so amazing. Are you on facebook.
Nikol Johnson: Thank you Erica thank you for watching :-) xoxo
Nikol Johnson: I use AMPLIFEYE Lash & Brow Fortifer by Xtreme Lashes
Erica Drayton: love your makeup
Lenny Pinette: You're GORGEOUS ! Just saying....;)
Nikol Johnson: Yes they are my natural lashes, I would suggest trying Xtreme Lashes AMPLIF eye Lash & Brow Fortifier it is drug free with no side effects. I use this to keep my lashes thick and long. You can buy this on our website :-) xoxo
Nikol Johnson: Yes, they are my real lashes :-) xoxo thank you for watching.
Lesley1000: Yes you are right, sorry i should have mentioned that, you do need to make sure as metal conducts heat. They heat up very quickly so people do need to beware. I just cant get the wand type to work for me and keep the curl. The clear mascara one works and also a very very thin layer of waterproof, let completely dry and curl. I know your not supposed to curl with mascara but this and the clear seem to be ok. x
Nikol Johnson: Thanks Lesley1000 for the tips :-) Be careful Beauties when using a hairdryer it can heat your eyelash curler to hot and you can burn your lid and lashes. I don't have to worry about that when using my Xtreme Lash heated eyelash curler.
Lesley1000: keep the curl with the mechanical curler by a) heat them with hairdryer b) use clear mascara first, let dry then curl. it acts like hair gel. use No7 equisite curl mascara. it really curls lashes
Anne Louise Olech: hey i was told that most studio/salons are out of stock or something but i just bought one off ebay today, the company says it ships worldwide ;)
Anne Louise Olech: hey! thanks for the tutorial, i just purchased the Xtreme Lash heated eyelash curler off ebay, im excited but nervous hoping i made a good decision :/

|'Return to the Hiding Place' film sees top-five per-screen average showing
|Written by Christine D. Johnson
|Thursday, 29 May 2014 03:20 PM EDT
Spencer Productions' World War II drama Return to the Hiding Place, ranked in the top-five for per-screen average, reaching $7,338.40 per screen in its opening weekend, according to the Rogers & Cowan agency. Released in Chicago; San Antonio and New Braunfels, Texas; and Washington, D.C., this independently produced faith-based film surpassed other wide-release movies, including Neighbors, Blended and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
The film's overall total during the three-day holiday weekend was $36,942 on five screens. The ticket pre-sales campaign through online ticketing reservation service Seatzy, Christian radio and local churches and ministries helped advance sales beyond expectations.
"Return to the Hiding Place was a labor of love for everyone involved, and we're thrilled to see the huge wave of support it received over the long Memorial Day Weekend," said Peter Spencer, director, writer and producer. "We had sold out screenings in various markets as well as strong word-of-mouth throughout. We couldn't be happier and looking forward to wider release plans for the film later in the year."
The multi-award-winning film stars John Rhys-Davies ("Indiana Jones," "Lord of the Rings"); Craig Robert Young (NCIS: LA, Hawaii Five-O); David Thomas Jenkins (CSI: Miami, Bold and the Beautiful); Rachel Spencer Hewitt (Fly by Night, A Civil War Christmas); and Mimi Sagadin (The Dilemma).
Return to the Hiding Place (hide-movie.com) is based on the true story taken from the autobiographical book of the same name by Hans Poley that recounts his experiences as a student resistance fighter during the Holocaust in World War II. Set in Holland, the movie follows the exploits of an army of untrained teenagers living in hiding at Corrie ten Boom's home. They face deadly challenges in the Resistance as they rescue Dutch Jews from the Holocaust.
Premiering to a sold-out screening at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Return to the Hiding Place has garnered several awards. It was selected as Best Feature Film at the Bel-Air Film Festival, Central Florida Film Festival, San Antonio Christian Film Festival and Life Fest Film Festival. In addition, it also won awards for Best Cinematography and Director's Selection at the Bel-Air Film and Life Fest Film Festivals and was recently chosen as the Official Selection at the Projecting Hope Film and Mission Fest Vancouver Film Festivals. The film also has been recognized by Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

Yellow Jackets Suffer Doubleheader Sweep at Rose-Hulman
Related Links
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Defiance offense had no answer for the HCAC's top-rated pitching staff and suffered 11-1 and 12-1 losses on Saturday at Rose-Hulman. DC mustered only two runs and 10 hits on the day.
The Jackets got on the board first in the opener behind a pair of scoreless innings from Ethan Salsbury and a run in the top of the third inning. Alex Timofeev got things started with a single and advanced to second on a single by Mike Dushane. A fielder's choice kept runners on first and second with two outs and a R-H fielding error allowed Dushane to score the first run of the game.
DC's 1-0 lead would not hold up for long, as the Engineers busted loose for five runs in the bottom half of the frame to take control and used a dominating performance on the mound from Derek Eitel to finish off the 11-1 victory.
The second game of the day was all Rose-Hulman with the home squad plating four runs in the first inning and gradually building a 12-0 lead before DC strung together three-straight pinch-hit singles from Nick Welling, Brent Kremer and Grant Barbour in the top of the ninth to break up the shutout.
Defiance (7-30, 3-18 HCAC) will wrap up its 2009 campaign on Sunday with a single game at Rose-Hulman (27-11, 15-6 HCAC) at 12:00 pm.

Re: WWE 2006 by Renegade
~Nice Foley promo to start off the show. The typical cheap pops, the hype for his match, and then. What was basically a good bye speech. Once he said he wasn't in the match, right away I thought here comes Cactus Jack, although I ode for Dude Love. It indeed was Cactus after some dueling on the mic between him and Bischoff. Big brawl to end it, and I can't wait for this match at SS. I'm expecting Foley to lose because I think the young heels need the win, not the veteran, over, faces.
~Solid opener between Haas and Maven. I'm liking the somewhat slow push Maven is getting. Gets the upset win with a roll-up, after some distractions. I look for this to continue for a while until Maven can finally get the win on his own. Haas/AJ should be a kick ass match come SS, and possibly the MOTN.
~Carlito promo was meh. Just your usual stuff for him; he's going over tonight though, for sure.
~Rhino is a fucking beast. I love the guy, and hope he tears Raven a new one on Sunday.
~Classic stuff between Cena, Austin, and Coach. Cena did a good job at actually being serious, yet staying in character. Austin's stuff was the typical thing you hear from him now that he's been watered down, but effective nonetheless. I really liked Austin stepping in front of Cena, just to be an ass, and then also the Stunner to Coach. Classic Austin. Very well done.
~Venis/AJ was nothing more than a glorified squad, putting over AJ for Summerslam. Haas taking out both Venis then Styles was a nice touch, and although it seems like AJ is going over, I am really hoping Haas will keep the strap at SS.
~I love Shawn Michaels, especially how you're writing him. He hates everybody, he does what he wants, and kicks the crap out of whoever, which was shown with the SCM to Grisham. I hope to God HBK gets the belt at SS, he'd make such a great Champ.
~Nice quick little segment with the two team for SS. The heels finally appear to have some unity, which I think shows that they will be going over on Sunday.
~This match dragged out a lot, which was surprising, because I didn't think Test has a chance in hell of winning. Solid match though, and I liked the ending. If done in one fluent motion, that would have been sweet as hell to see.
~Another quick segment, this time Haas interview. I'm really digging the heel Haas in this BTB, and am hoping he can get the win at SS.
~The tag match was just filler, Dudleys get the win. Next.
~Little DX spiel to tick away more time… the show really feels like it is dragging now. Also, for the Outlaws part, it is 'soon to be' not 'future' before the Tag Team Champions etc.
~Solid main event, and the right team went over. DX gets to look dominant, same with HHH, while HBK is the sly heel. He'd rather stay safe than wrestle. Makes a good heel. I love how X-Pac is the joke of DX though; it's so obvious he is. Good main event, and things are being set up well for SS.
build-up for the WG match at SS, but it was a nice, chaotic, touch to end the show with. Still think the heels will win.
~Overall, it was a good show to lead into Summerslam, but your time/clock management was not. This show dragged and that's because it definitely went over 2 hours. The matches were about an hour themselves, and when you add in commercials and the many promos and backstage segments, there's no way this show could fit into the 2 hour 7 minute time limit it has. That really irked me, and is something I hope changes over time. I am looking forward to Summerslam nonetheless, as it has been a very good build-up on your part.

Foodies have embraced the Meatless Monday trend since guests are craving more veggies on their plates. And so many restaurants have joined the movement. Meatless Monday is meant to reduce meat consumption by 15 percent to improve personal health and the health of our planet. The slogan: "One day a week cut out the meat!" Whether you consider yourself an herbivore or not, Vegas restaurants have taken note and broadened their omnivore options. Here's a look at the top five places to dine on vegetarian cuisine in Las Vegas. Omnivores may even appreciate some of these delicious dishes.
The Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Las Vegas
1 Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas
Steve Wynn adopted a vegan diet and asked all the restaurants at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas to come up with options for their menus. Stop in any restaurant there and you can find dishes that have a healthy bend. Head over to Society Cafe for the market chopped salad with avocado, carrots, celery, pumpkin seeds, edamame and tarragon vinaigrette. At Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare, you can have risotto con verdure di sagione, risotto whipped with seasonal vegetables. At Tableau, you can try the Napoleon of savory tofu with ratatouille and fried eggplant and at the Country Club, try the watermelon gazpacho with avocado, jicama, tomato, cucumber, cilantro and yucca crisp.

Shibuya offers a five-course vegetarian tasting menu, which includes a warm Japanese mushroom salad, fried organic tofu and a chef's selection of vegetarian sushi rolls.

Las Vegas' newest casino, Aria at CityCenter, has its own set of delightful vegetarian dining. It starts at Jean Georges Steakhouse, where you can find heirloom tomato salad with hearts of palm, avocado and coconut vinaigrette or the miso-yuzu glazed tofu with maiitake mushrooms complemented by an explosion of flavor from vegetable red curry with jasmine rice. Bar Masa offers up a variety of vegetarian dishes, such as the mushroom yakisoba and miso tofu with avocado rolls. At Julian Serrano, try some of the tapas such as the stuffed piquillo peppers filled with creamy goat cheese and mushrooms duxelle or the hearty vegetarian paella with cauliflower, zucchini, peppers, sofrito, mushrooms and French beans and fresh mushroom stock. Sage offers Di Stefano Farms burrata cheese featuring marinated butter beans, baby artichokes, extra virgin olive oil and Banyuls vinegar.

Tour the world through the eyes of a vegetarian at the restaurants of the Venetian and Palazzo. At Wolfgang Puck's Cut, try the roasted baby beets served with Humboldt Fog goat cheese, pistachio, citrus, micro basil and mint; the crisp Olson Farm's squash blossoms with Green Hill, marinated cherry tomatoes and basil pesto aioli; or the fava beans salad with Campania artichokes, pecorino romano, Meyer lemon and Marjoram. Puck's Postrio Bar & Grill serves up wood-oven pizzas worthy of the finest vegetarians. Try the spaghettini pasta, vine-ripened tomatoes, basil and garlic or the porcini mushroom ravioli. Emeril Lagasse's Table 10 offers summer sweet corn popovers and butternut squash risotto with a spicy Creole tomato gastrique. Mario Batale has been celebrating the Meatless Monday movement at all of his restaurants. Try the strachino ravioli served in a butter sauce with freshly shaved Matsutake mushrooms at B&B Ristorante.
5 Origin India
We wanted to give you one off-Strip option, and we looked no further than Origin India, which just celebrated Vegetarian Awareness month in October. Dishes such as vegetable samosas, chana massala with its garbanzo beans cooked with tomatoes and spices and bhindi massala, fresh-cut okra with diced onion and tomato flavored with cumin seeds have been hits. You can always dine on mixed vegetable curry; aloo gobi, a cooked mixture of potatoes, cauliflower and Indian spices; or the sag aloo with curried spinach and potatoes. Some dishes such as sag paneer or mutter paneer come with homemade Indian cheeses.
Origin India is located at 4480 Paradise Road, 702.734.6342.

First Albany Keeps Buy On Central European Distribution
First Albany keeps a buy rating on alcohol importation and distribution company Central European Distribution (CEDC ).
Analyst Randall Scherago says the company has agreed to terms and conditions of the employment package with unions of Polmos Bialystok distillery. He views this as a positive sign that the company is moving in the right direction to buy 61% of Polmos Bialystok.
He says the unions had demanded better conditions than those guaranteed by original winner, Sobieski, which included guarantee of employment for six years. He notes the final pact is expected to be signed by July 15.
Scherago maintains his $1.66 2005 earnings per share and $1.96 2006 estimates for Central European Distribution, which do not yet include Polmos Bialystok. He has a $42 target.

Delta Waterfowl (email@example.com) June 18, 2013 For immediate release...
The U.S. Senate has passed a Farm Bill including key conservation elements that Delta Waterfowl and a broad coalition of conservation groups had prioritized. The Farm Bill authorizes the agricultural support, nutrition programs and a diversity of conservation programs over the next five years. The conservation title provides the framework to enable the continuation of the Conservation Reserve Program, Wetland Reserve Program and other vital conservation investments on private lands.
"The most important outcome of the Senate version is ensuring basic wetland and soil conservation will be paired with the crop insurance program that will provide the safety net for our country's famers in the future," notes Dr. Frank Rohwer, Delta Waterfowl's president. "Farmers need assurances, and insulation from risk and crop insurance will meet that critical need. Yet, we also believe that the significant investment the American public is making in these programs also calls for basic stewardship in return."
Rohwer's comments speak to conservation compliance — notably Swampbuster and Sodbuster — a cornerstone of agricultural support since the 1985 Farm Bill. In return for the benefit of federal farm support, farmers have agreed to retain wetlands and enact soil conservation practices on highly erodible lands. Currently, the only protection for 69.1 percent of the small and vulnerable wetlands in the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region is afforded under Swampbuster. "The loss of Swampbuster protection for wetlands in the U.S. Prairies would result in the potential for drastic losses to the small wetlands that we know drive continental duck abundance and ultimately duck production," Rohwer said. "We need Swampbuster to ensure the U.S. breeding wetland habitat base remains intact."
The U.S. House of Representatives is currently in deliberations on its version of the Farm Bill. Delta Waterfowl members and waterfowlers everywhere should make their voices heard as these debates unfold.
"Duck hunters need to contact their members of Congress and ensure conservation compliance and a robust conservation investment are part of the House Bill," Rohwer said. "These are important matters and we need everyone to express the urgency of these issues to their House members."

Delta Waterfowl Foundation is a leading North American conservation organization, tracing its origins to the birth of the wildlife conservation movement in 1911. The Foundation supports research, provides leadership and offers science-based solutions to efficiently conserve waterfowl and secure the future of waterfowl hunting. Delta Waterfowl is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Bismarck, N.D.

Saturday, April 19 -- vs. No. 13 Yale (Michigan Stadium), 4 p.m.
Tickets Available | Maize Out, Maize Star Event | Live Video | Live Stats
Social Media: @UMichLacrosse Updates | @UofMLaxManagers Updates
The University of Michigan men's lacrosse team (4-9) hosts the No. 13-ranked Yale Bulldogs (7-3) on Saturday (April 19) at 4 p.m. from Michigan Stadium. The matchup will follow the Michigan women's lacrosse game against Vanderbilt that begins at 1 p.m.
Saturday is also lacrosse day at Michigan, as the U-M cheer team will be on hand and a single ticket will yield attendance to both the men's and women's games.
About Michigan
Freshman Ian King continues to lead the team in goals with 25 and is now two away from breaking Trevor Yealy's (2012) school record of 26. He has scored at least one goal in 12 of 13 games this season and has scored multiple goals in six of those eight contests.
Kyle Jackson is second on the team in goals (18), points (23) and shots (62), while Thomas Paras leads the squad in helpers with 10, closely followed by Dan Kinek with nine helpers. Paras (12), David McCormack (11) and David Joseph (10) are the other U-M players with double-digit goals.
Both Jackson and Joseph have scored five goals in the last two games.
Chase Brown leads the team in caused turnovers with 15 and also owns 23 ground balls from his longstick position. At close defense, Chris Walker is the top ground ball man with 23 to go along with eight caused turnovers, while Mack Gembis has collected 15 GBs to go along with 12 caused.
Brad Lott leads the ECAC in faceoffs, winning 55 percent of his chances this season (134-of-205), as well as ground balls per game (6.82) for a total of 75 on the year.
Freshman goalie Robbie Zonino is No. 1 in the conference in saves per contest at 9.92
Over the last three games, U-M has been outscored, 33-15, in the first half and is outshooting opponents, 55-52, in the opening half of action.
Scouting The Bulldogs
The Bulldogs enter Saturday's contest with a 7-3 overall record and have won three straight contests, with the most-recent victory coming in overtime against Brown by a 7-6 count on April 11. All three of Yale's defeats this season have come by two goals or less -- against Fairfield, Cornell and Penn -- while three of the seven wins are of the one-goal variety.
Conrad Oberbeck leads the team in goals with 23 and points (31), while Brandon Mangan leads in assists with 12 and is second in points with 27. Colin Flaherty is the other Bulldog on the squad in double-digit goals with 10.
Dylan Levings is the man at the dot for Yale and is No. 15 in the NCAA in ground balls per contest at 7.20 a game. In all, the Bulldogs are the No. 15 faceoff team in the country, winning 125-of-215 chances (58 percent).
Michael Quinn leads the team and is second in the Ivy League in caused turnovers per contest (1.67), while the Bulldog defense is ranked as the No. 9 unit in the country, allowing only 8.10 goals per contest. Goalkeeper Eric Natale ranks No. 20 nationally with a save percentage of 54 percent and has allowed only 8.08 goals per contest.
Tournament Berth Clinched
By virtue of Bellarmine's 9-3 loss to Fairfield (Saturday 29), The Knights fall to 0-4 in ECAC action with the loss, allowing U-M to secure its first-ever postseason berth.
Ohio State is the lone team with two conference games left, as the Buckeyes take on Air Force this weekend followed by a tilt with Fairfield on April 26.
With five teams remaining the ECAC Lacrosse conference in its final season of existence, four of them will make the ECAC Tournament May 1-3 in Columbus, Ohio, with the winner earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
ECAC Awards
Michigan has won five ECAC Weekly Awards in the month of March. Most recently, Brad Lott took home the Specialist of the Week honor, while Ian King and Chris Walker took home Rookie and Defender of the Week awards on March 8.
Walker, a close defender, scooped up 10 ground balls and caused three turnovers across two games for the Wolverines. The highlight came against the Paladins, as he collected five ground balls and caused a trio of turnovers.
King takes home the honor after collecting back-to-back hat tricks against High Point and Furman. He tallied 18 shots, and two of his six goals were of the man-up variety.
Prior to King and Walker's honors, Mack Gembis and Brad Lott were named ECAC Defensive Player and Specialist of the Week, respectively, for their performances in a 15-14 loss to No. 15 Cornell Saturday (March 1).
National, ECAC Ranks
U-M's offense comes in at No. 38 in the country, averaging 9.69 goals per contest. U-M is also No. 2 in the ECAC in caused turnovers, ground balls per game, man-down defense and faceoff winning percentage.
Balanced Scoring Leads Way
U-M has been extremely balanced in quarter-by-quarter breakdown, with 30 in the first and 34 in the second quarter. In the third and fourth quarter, U-M has marked 30 goals in each period (plus two overtime scores).
Breakthroughs against Cornell, Fairfield
The one-goal loss against No. 15 Cornell marked the closest defeat U-M has suffered against a ranked opponent in program history. Previously, the closest defeat suffered was five goals against No. 15 Penn State on Feb. 9, 2013 (11-6 defeat). Michigan also held a lead against a ranked opponent for the first time since leading 2-1 against No. 4 Denver at the 2:12 mark of the first quarter on April 27, 2013.
U-M equaled the closest defeat against a ranked team on April 5 against Fairfield, falling 9-8 in the Battle at the Big House.
Strength of Schedule, Strength
Michigan has played the No. 24 toughest schedule (according to LaxPower.com) in the country thus far but has been top heavy, featuring six ranked opponents in No. 9 Penn State, No. 5 Johns Hopkins and No. 16 Cornell, as well as No. 1 Maryland and No. 15 Fairfield, in addition to Saturday's matchup vs. No. 13 Yale.
Broadcast Team
Mike DeWitt, who has called U-M games the past two seasons on Big Ten Student U and the Michigan Stadium in-house feed on MGoBlue.com, will return for his third season as the voice of Michigan lacrosse as the play-by-play man. Joining him as color commentator will be 2012 U-M graduate Brian Greiner, a member of Team One and U-M's primary faceoff man in the initial season as a varsity program. He was also a member of the teams 2010 MCLA National Championship squad.
In the 2012 season, he won the Team Spirit Award, and went 128-of-302 at the faceoff X (42 percent). He led the team in ground balls, with 48, and scored four goals on the year, including two against Ohio State in the first Battle at the Big House.
NCAA Debuts
Nine players made their debuts for the Wolverines against Penn State in Josh Stauffer and Mike D'Alessio (sophomores) as well as freshmen Mikie Schlosser, Ian King, Peter Khoury, Will Biagi, Stefan Bergman and Christian Wolter and goalie Robbie Zonino. Against Mercer, Andrew Roswell, Charlie McPeters, Cooper Charlton and Brendan Gaughan made their debuts. Most recently, Andrew Hatton make his first appearance -- against Detroit -- at close defense and earned his first start of the season against Johns Hopkins.
Two-Year Starters Return
The Wolverines return three players who have been mainstays in the first two seasons of varsity play. Featuring a pair of starting attackmen in juniors Will Meter and David McCormack, as well as fifth-year senior close defender JD Johnson.
Meter, who led the team in assists as a freshman with 15 and had five helpers last season, has started 25 of 27 contests on attack alongside McCormack, who has 19 career goals and four assists in 19 starts. Johnson, who missed a significant part of 2013 due to injury, is healthy after starting 14 games in 2012 and seven a year ago. He led Team One in ground balls with 40 and was tied for third on the team last year with 25.
2014 Slate
In total, U-M's 2014 opponents had a combined record of 117-96 a year ago. For the team's eight road games, the Wolverines will travel 4,092 miles.
Diversity for U-M
Of the players that make up the 2014 squad, members of the team hail from 13 states and provinces, highlighted by eight from Michigan and five from New Jersey, Ohio, California, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
California: 5 (Gaughan, Hernandez, Johnson, Schlosser, Simor)
Canada: 1 (Jackson)
Colorado: 1 (Wylie)
Connecticut: 5 (Francia, Hatton, Keady, Khoury, Kraus)
Florida: 1 (Stauffer)
Maryland: 4 (Brown, Glaser, Mosko, Roswell)
Michigan: 8 (Archer, Gembis, Kennedy, Meter, Orr, Sardelli, Walker, Zwolan)
New Hampshire: 1 (Wolter)
New Jersey: 5 (Bryant, McPeters, Portnoy, Riefberg, Weichert)
New York: 2 (D'Alessio, Logan)
Ohio: 5 (Charlton, Joseph, King, McCormack, Paras)
Pennsylvania: 5 (Bergman, Chu, Kinek, Moore, Zonino)
Virginia: 1 (Biagi)
Number Changes
Five returning players from last season have switched numbers for U-M:
Evan Glaser (No. 25 from No. 40)
Dan Kinek (No. 9 from No. 38)
Will Meter (No. 15 from No. 45)
Dakota Sherman (No. 50 from No. 17)
Thomas Paras (No. 11 from No. 39)
Freshman Nothing New
For the third straight season, the Wolverines will run a freshman goalie out between the pipes, as Robbie Zonino appears to be the man in the cage this season. In 2012, Emil Weiss was the primary goalie, playing in 10 games with an 11.80 goals-against average. In 2013, Gerald Logan played the majority of minutes.
In the two years U-M has been a varsity program, freshman have played 84 percent of the minutes in goal. The departed Dylan Westerhold is the other netminder who saw action in both seasons, playing 252 minutes in 2012 and a little more than over five minutes in 2013. Cy Abelnour made a cameo appearance in 2012, playing 10 minutes as well.
U-M is the only team in the country that will have started a different freshman goalie in each of the past seasons. The Albany Great Danes are the last team to accomplish that feat, as a freshman was in net for the 2011-12-13 seasons.
Michigan to Join Big Ten Conference for Lacrosse in 2014-15
The Big Ten Conference announced June 3 the formation of a men's lacrosse conference, in which the University of Michigan men's lacrosse team will begin competition during the 2014-15 academic year.
In addition to Michigan and affiliate member Johns Hopkins, the men's conference will also feature Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers and Maryland.
Big Ten rules allow for a conference championship when six institutions sponsor a program in any given sport.
Paul and the Wolverines will enter their third year as a varsity program in 2013-14, and continue competing in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC), before joining the Big Ten for the 2015 season. Ohio State is the only other current ECAC team that will also transition to the Big Ten.
With the addition of men's and women's lacrosse, the Big Ten will now sponsor 28 varsity sports.
U-M Supports Friends of Jaclyn, vs. Cancer
The Wolverines adopted nine-year-old Miles Root of Tecumseh, Mich., through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation (FOJ), a charitable, non-profit organization that strives to enhance and strengthen the support system built around children with pediatric brain tumors. On Jan. 25, over 30 members of the team shaved their heads in support of Miles, who passed away on March 6, 2014. The Wolverines continue to honor Miles by donning "Super Miles Strong" wristbands, as well as "MR" stickers on the back of their helmets.
"One of our core principles is Family, and Miles was definitely part of our family," said head coach John Paul. "He brightened up our day when he was around, and he brought some perspective to us whenever we were facing whatever small adversities we had to overcome. He was taken far too soon. We'll miss him. We all hope that his three brothers, Skyler, Ian and Seth, will continue to be involved with our program. The Roots will always have a home with us.
Through the program, adopted children become part of the team and build unique friendships. Children also gain an incredible group of caring role models to look up to when they need the extra support. FOJ places children with teams according to geographical proximity, as his primary healthcare facility is the University of Michigan Hospital.
Miles was diagnosed with a brain tumor on April 26, 2010, at the age of five. The tumor was fully resected on April 28, but he suffered from posterior fossa syndrome with cerebellar mutism a few hours after his tumor removal, resulting in him being unable to move the right side of his body and leaving him unable to speak.
FOJ's programs are based on love, support and friendship between the child, the child's family and his or her "adopted" team. FOJ has completed more than 400 adoptions in more than 20 different sports. They currently have more than 1,000 schools on a waiting list, as FOJ grows from a small organization into a larger one.

NORDOspeak: NFL rule changes are falling short
-Eric Nordquist (@ericnordoKFAN)
The NFL owners' meetings are down in sunny Orlando this week! Every year, league leaders get together in the offseason to make big decisions and vote on various ways to water down the best product in professional sports. As part of this, we talked about NFL potential rule changes during the #92Noon and had ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio to open the show, who was live from the meetings in Florida. (Podcast the entire 9AM hour in the On-Demand section of KFAN.com)
As of lunchtime today, I had only heard of two changes voted on so far. Side roll-up blocks on defenders are now illegal. I can dig it. The second? Dunking the ball over the crossbar after a touchdown is now illegal too. Jimmy Graham is not happy. (Insert No Fun League cliché here) We'll probably hear about more changes tomorrow as well.
When it comes to rule changes, I think it's imperative that you maintain the fundamentals of the sport's gameplay, while simultaneously adjusting to the evolving athlete. Not easy, and here are some proposals brought forth by the league and/or individual teams that I'm utterly opposed to à
1. Eliminating Extra Points
This is ridiculous. PATs are boring, they're nearly automatic and are usually a good time to get in line for the bathroom while they're being taken. The element of the kicker in football, though, serves a basic function of diversifying the ways in which you score points. So, we need to keep them and alter them. You can do so by moving them back (one proposal puts them on the 25yd line), move the spot/holder 2-3 yards closer to the line of scrimmage etc. You could even force them to kick from a hash mark of their choosing, while widening the hashes. We can be creative within the existing system without erasing part of it. Plus, if you're a fan of going to two-point conversions on all scoring plays, you won't be after your squad drives 90 yards, scores and then can't convert from the freaking 2 yard line.
2. Expanding Playoffs
Adding an extra team in each conference, which means only the top seed gets a bye-week and the rest gets rowdy on Wildcard weekend. This is simply an idea for the league to capitalize on viewership during the postseason, without actually improving the product we're watching. How many 8-8 or 7-9 teams do you want in the playoffs (unless they're the Vikings, of course!)?
3. Expanding Replay
I'm all for getting the call right on the field, but at what cost? Instant replay is inefficient, time consuming, a complete momentum killer…and we want to do more of it? Maybe we should eliminate PATs just so there's more time to challenge every single play on the field! There have been discussions of time limits on video-viewing and direct correspondence with the NFL control center in New York to get things done more accurately, but none of this improves the lull in activity. The actual time-sucker is the conversations with coaches and ref huddles that take place prior to "going under the hood." What about the idea that the mere existence of replay is encouragement in itself for refs to make challengeable calls, as to not be the Sportscenter low-light? I think expanding replay will promote the continued devolution of quality referees who usually make the right call immediately. Can't wait to go to games this fall, sit in the stands and have no idea what's going on while they're challenging a first-down ball spot (sarcasm, folks).
4. Moving the Kickoff to the 40-yard Line
This is another situation where we are taking away diverse scoring opportunities in the game. Not much to say on this other than that it's a terrible idea, kills returns and becomes more arbitrary than any PAT ever was. And, we have Cordarrelle Patterson. Giddyup!
Agree or disagree? Let's discuss.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Nonprofit President Gives Advice on Making the Most Out of a Crisis
The president of Mercy Corps Nancy Lindborg, MPA 1992, addressed the challenges faced by nonprofit organizations in post-conflict regions and offered her recommendations for the Obama administration Thursday (Feb. 5) in a seminar sponsored by the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations.
Mercy Corps currently operates in approximately 40 "fragile states." Among the challenges the organization faces are a lack of resources, resistance to the idea that projects should be locally owned and driven, provincial areas being overlooked in aid efforts, an underestimation of negotiation techniques, and the unfortunate habit of organizations branding crisis communities with an American stamp.
"We've never branded any of them," said Lindborg of Mercy Corps' work in Iraq focusing on cleaning up sewer systems, running negotiations programs and constructing new buildings. "Nonetheless, people understand it is funded by American taxpayer dollars."
Lindborg said another critical factor in post-conflict regions is security – of the workers, the residents and the projects.
"Security is paramount. You must have security," she said.
Lindborg is calling upon the Obama administration to reconsider how the military is used in provincial reconstruction, and to reevaluate its military and charity funding policies. And says they can forget about trying to make a quick fix.
"There is no way these problems will be fixed in the year or two," she said.
Lindborg also warned about the victim mentality effect that can arise from too many charity dollars being doled out in a single region for too long. She said that NGOs must do long-term community-building projects as well as the short-term aid projects.
"If you only do that life-saving humanitarian work, you will not allow people to get their feet up," she said. "And then you will leave."

NEW YORK — Paul Simon was supposed to be ours.
He had always been at the top of my short list of pop singer-songwriters who should have written musicals, above even Billy Joel and Randy Newman, more than Paul McCartney and Elton John combined. With Simon's narrative gifts, his poetic shadows, his wit, his accessibility and his musical restlessness, he was the prodigious pop innovator who — in the days before kids wanted to be Bo Diddley instead of Richard Rodgers — would have shaped the future of the progressive musical.
But then came "The Capeman," which crashed into a sad little historical footnote after just 68 performances on Broadway in 1998, losing its entire $11-million investment and more than money.
The show was produced by Simon, inspired by his fascination with the tabloid-ready story of Salvador Agron, the notorious Puerto Rican teen — arrested wearing a red-lined black cape — who murdered two white kids in Hell's Kitchen in 1959 and became an activist poet in prison.
Simon wrote music for 35 songs and co-authored lyrics with his book writer, Nobel laureate Derek Walcott. His cast had impeccable credentials, including genuine salsa legends Ruben Blades and Ednita Nazario, not to mention a Nuyorican heartthrob named Marc Anthony as young Agron. And the production was 85 percent Latino, a rarity not repeated until "In the Heights" broke barriers and box offices a decade later.
What went wrong? Plenty, including the theatrical inexperience of Simon, Walcott and director Mark Morris, the choreographer who had never staged a Broadway show. Everything seemed heartfelt and authentic. It was also inert and dramatically inept.
But now "The Capeman" — and theatergoers — will get a second chance at three semistaged concert performances presented free in Central Park at 8 p.m. Saturday through Aug. 16. The Public Theater is going the same route it took with its rediscovery of the timely viability of "Hair," offering a peek (with no reviews allowed) at the end of the summer of 2007. Director Diane Paulus, who shepherded "Hair" from those revelatory glimpses to a full park production in 2008 and to Broadway in 2009, will stage this one, too. (Tickets will be distributed through the usual Shakespeare in the Park process, at 1 p.m. on the day of performance. Call 212-967-7555 or visit publictheater.org.)
Can "Capeman" be rescued from the dustbin of crushing Broadway flops? Certainly "Songs From The Capeman," a 1997 concept cast album with Simon's vocals issued in 2004, has a solid place among his recording accomplishments. He did, after all, manage to protect and transform South African music for his "Graceland" album and Brazilian influences in "The Rhythm of the Saints" — all without seeming like a user or a tourist.
As I remember "The Capeman," the songs were unmistakably Simon, the way he uses the tension of uneven phrase lengths and conversational vocal lines against formal rhythms. He obviously loved this music, which was drawn from the hot-summer-night doo-wop of his own childhood in Forest Hills, N.Y., courtly plena folk forms, white pop, Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms and the magenta hues of Latin soul.
The story, well, was another story altogether. The production, which toggled between 1949 Puerto Rico and 1979 New York, had understated, admirable restraint. But it also had no shape, no joy and — surprising in a Morris show — depressingly little dance. (Choreography for the park is by Sergio Trujillo, who made "Jersey Boys" and "Memphis" move so persuasively.)
Then there was the political pressure from victims' rights groups, which believed the show made a hero out of Agron — who matured from battered illiterate immigrant to defiant teen/monster and reportedly went on to become a model prisoner. The creators, also facing complaints about a non-Latino writing Puerto Rican stereotypes, appeared to have lost track of their point of view.
There is little doubt that Simon had one at the start. Agron's high-profile crime — and the anti-Latino backlash it sparked against the city's growing Latino population — fascinated him. He started composing the songs in 1989. Then came years of planning, four different directors, two choreographers, one postponement and enough controversy to send Simon screaming back to the serenity of the rock industry.
This week's performances include several actors from the original cast, and music direction by Grammy winner Oscar Hernandez, who led the orchestra on Broadway. Instead of going for stars this time, relative newcomers Anthony Lee Medina will play young Agron, with Ivan Hernandez as his older self.
Who knows? Maybe "The Capeman," intended as a musical about redemption, will get some of its own.
