Navarre is a region in Northern Spain bordered by France, the Basque Country, Aragon, and La Rioja.
Other destinations[edit]
Both Spanish and Basque (Español and Euskera) are official languages in Navarra. Spanish is more spread than Basque in Navarra, and everybody can speak Spanish in this land, but Basque is also spoken by a wide part of the population specially in the north of Navarra and Pamplona as a native language.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Pamplona has an airport that connects it with Madrid and Barcelona by regular flights. There are also connections with some other cities like Lisbon.
By train[edit]
Pamplona has quite good railway system, although high speed trains won't be working until 2012, it has several trains every day to Madrid (3h), Barcelona (4h), Zaragoza (2h) and so on.
See[edit][add listing]
Navarra is called "Land of diversity". From Pamplona, in 50 miles around, you can enjoy forests (as Irati Forest), caves (Mendukilo, Zugarramurdi, Urdax, ...), Pyrenees Mountains, River Springs (as Urederra river), Castles (Javier, Olite, ...), Monasteries (Leire, Urdax, Oliva,...), desertic landscapes (Bardenas Reales), Natural Areas (Urbasa, Arbayun and Lumbier Gorges...), ...
Anyway, most of tourist who arrive to Navarra do it for two main reasons: St James Way (El camino de Santiago), and the running of the bulls festival in July (San Fermín).
To visit and enjoy so many interesting places, the best option is to rent a car, because public transportation is not so available, with few services and usually don´t arrive to the best places (as Irati Forest or Bardenas Reales).
Also, if not speaking Spanish is a bit complicated in some areas, as only in a few tourist attractions English guides are available (as I remember only at Olite Castle and Roncesvalles with audioguides).
Another easy option to visit this areas without worrying about renting a car or language problems it's to do a tour with some local tour agency.

Navarra has a very good reputation for its food and restaurants sharing it mostly with the Basque cook. These are some of the most typical products of Navarre:
Sparragus eaten with mayonaise.

Piquillo peppers in the village of Lodosa, really tasty!
Txistorra/Chistorra is a kind of red sausage(made with pork meat), delicious.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Patxaran is the most typical alcoholic drink of Navarra. It's destilled with blackthrons and it has an intense red colour. It has 30º approximately.
Wines are also very famous in this region producing wines with Rioja label, and also with their own certification label (D.O. Navarra).

Inbox: Pros and cons of pursuing Granderson
Looking to make their biggest Hot Stove splash in years, the Mets have zeroed in on free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson, whose recent dinner with general manager Sandy Alderson has led to an ongoing negotiation session this week. Fans seem split on the pursuit, with some lauding Granderson's power, while others lament his age and declining speed. So let's try to make sense of the potential acquisition, while the Mets are busy talking dollars and cents:
The Mets are going to give four years and $60 million to Granderson, who will be 33 on Opening Day? How is this any different than when they gave four years and $66 million to Jason Bay, who was only 31 at the time?
-- Peter K., Levittown, N.Y.
Looking to make their biggest Hot Stove splash in years, the Mets have zeroed in on free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson, whose recent dinner with general manager Sandy Alderson has led to an ongoing negotiation session this week. Fans seem split on the pursuit, with some lauding Granderson's power, while others lament his age and declining speed. So let's try to make sense of the potential acquisition, while the Mets are busy talking dollars and cents:
The Mets are going to give four years and $60 million to Granderson, who will be 33 on Opening Day? How is this any different than when they gave four years and $66 million to Jason Bay, who was only 31 at the time?
-- Peter K., Levittown, N.Y.
A good observation and an interesting question. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the Mets ultimately sign Granderson for the four years and $60 million that you say (which is probably at the high end of what they would offer).
Taken as an isolated player acquisition, that deal would carry all the same risks that Bay's did at the time, and perhaps a few others. Bay was on the wrong side of 30 when he signed his deal, and Granderson is even older than that. Bay was coming from Fenway Park, a paradise for right-handed hitters, while Granderson is coming from the left-handed playground known as Yankee Stadium.
Though Bay had been durable up until that point in his career, there were questions about the health of his knees. Granderson, likewise, has been sturdy save for two freak injuries that sabotaged his 2013 season.
Now let's consider the differences. When Bay signed his deal in December 2009, the Mets were already saddled with one of the highest payrolls in baseball, which included huge multiyear commitments to Carlos Beltran, Johan Santana, Francisco Rodriguez, Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo. If the Mets made a mistake with Bay, they were going to have to squeeze themselves financially to correct it.
Contrast that to this winter, when the Mets -- even while operating under continued austerity -- have enough payroll freedom to absorb a bad contract without it crippling them for years to come. That's exactly what Alderson has worked to achieve.
Then there is the matter of roster flexibility. Signing Granderson would give the Mets a much-needed source of left-handed power, making Ike Davis increasingly expendable in a trade for a starting pitcher or shortstop. It would also free the Mets to deal Daniel Murphy if they desire, knowing they can shift Eric Young Jr. to his natural position of second base.
Speaking of which…
I don't understand the value of trading Murphy. We have in Murph a .290 doubles machine who can handle New York. Who is going to step in to fill his offensive shoes? The Mets' offense cannot support a light-hitting defensive second baseman, even if he is fast.
-- Robert S., Brooklyn, N.Y.
Murphy is a popular player -- I get that -- but it's important to look at him objectively. One reader went as far as to email me calling Murphy "Chase Utley in the making." Sounds good, except that through his age-28 season (2,439 plate appearances), Murphy has accumulated 8.3 rWAR and 9.0 fWAR. Utley, through the same age (2,419 plate appearances), amassed 25.8 rWAR and 23.4 fWAR. They're not comparable players.
It's not that the Mets want to trade Murphy, it's that they have to consider selling high on a player who has reached a critical point in his career. Murphy has one elite big league skill, and it's a difficult one to replicate from year to year: contact hitting. Though he improved his defense, power and baserunning in 2013, his on-base percentage took a dive, and he was almost comically streaky from month to month. With those factors in mind, if Murphy runs into some bad luck in 2014 and hits .265 instead of .286, his value could take a major hit at a time when his salary is really starting to escalate.
The Mets could take that risk, pay Murphy even more through arbitration in 2015, then either sign him to a long-term deal or let him walk. Or they could plug Young in at second base, likely experience an offensive downgrade at the position and try to make up for it with baserunning and athleticism. You make sacrifices in one area in the hopes of improving overall.
The wild card in that scenario would be Young's defense. A natural second baseman, Young moved off the position per the Rockies' request early in his big league career. According to MLB.com beat writer Thomas Harding, then-Colorado manager Jim Tracy made the switch hoping Young's speed would play better in the outfield than at second base, where he struggled defensively at times in the Minors. Though Young was nominated for a Gold Glove in left field in 2013, some scouts and advanced metrics painted a less flattering picture of his outfield defense. There's a chance that with work, he could be more valuable at second.
If the Mets are willing to add an extra $40 million to their payroll, why is Robinson Cano not a top priority? I understand the Mets don't want the long-term deals, but he is the best player on the market and could bring a lot to the team. Trade Murphy, Davis and Lucas Duda to save $10 million, sign Cano for eight years at $27 million per year, and Granderson four years at $15 million. After signing Young at $7.25 million, the Mets still would have a few bucks to spend. Package together two prospects to pick up an innings-eater type pitcher.
-- Tim K., Cohoes, N.Y.
And with those moves in place, the Mets would effectively do the one thing Alderson refuses to do: destroy the team's payroll flexibility in future years.
Look, there's a fine line between maintaining flexibility and not doing enough to help your team, and Alderson is doing his best to straddle it. That could even mean acquiring Cano, if all the right chips fall into place later this winter. But Alderson would much rather spread out his dollars amongst an outfielder, a few pitchers and even a shortstop than go for broke on a single player. The GM abhors long-term commitments, and Cano is asking for one of the longest in big league history.
Davis played both the outfield and first base in college. Why doesn't he move to right field and have Duda at first?
-- Al J., Waco, Texas
Davis was also 25 pounds lighter back then, according to figures from the Mets and Arizona State, and had not yet sustained the major ankle injury that nearly ended his career. Though he certainly has the arm for the position, his speed and range would expose him there -- and he'd probably be the first to admit it.
I find it difficult to understand the Chris Young signing. The public reasoning is that Young, a career .235 hitter, will do better playing full-time, and his defense and power will compensate for a low average and high strikeouts. In my opinion, the Mets have two cheap players in Matt den Dekker and Kirk Nieuwenhuis who will strike out, play great defense and have power. And I am certain that they have the "potential" to hit 235. So please explain the reasoning behind the signing.
-- Carmine B., Garden City, N.Y.
Power. That's the reason. Young once hit 32 home runs in the big leagues, the Mets believe such potential still exists within him and power is at a premium in today's game. Only 10 players in baseball hit 32-plus homers last season, and Young has a far better chance of joining that group than den Dekker or Nieuwenhuis. Though Young's base salary ($7.25 million) is high, it's not much of a risk for the Mets on a one-year deal.

Rules of the game
Whether price erupts into a runaway gap from a trend in motion or out of a period of price consolidation, the safest way to trade runaway gaps is to take note of when the actual gap occurs, then wait for price to pull back. For bullish trades, after the bullish runaway gap is formed, wait for the first trading day where the intraday low trades under the previous two trading days' intraday low, then take a position when price resumes trading above the intraday high of that same day (see "Gap and run").
Conversely, for shorts, after a bearish runaway gap is formed, wait for the first trading day that trades above the previous two days' intraday high and then take a position as the price resumes its downward decline when it passes that trading day's intraday high.
Set your stops at no more than 5% away from your entry price and take profits by selling half your position when you have a profit of at least 10% and then move your stop to breakeven. At times, price can be volatile after such a move and, though runaway gaps have enormous profit potential when you catch the move just right, discretion is the better part of valor when managing risk. Remember to be prudent with these types of trades and take quick profits with half your position as the stock moves in your favor, managing the remaining half as the stock climbs higher.
For example, the remaining half of the position should have stops adjusted under the subsequent intraday lows in a bullish trend or, if a bearish trend, placed just over subsequent intraday highs.
Runaway gaps provide some of the most promising trading opportunities. With the trend strengthening, you can establish a trade with tight risk control but a high potential for profit. Another advantage is that gaps are relatively simple. A quick look at a price chart will tell you whether a gap occurred. Additionally, gaps have risk-control measures built in — they offer reliable and obvious levels where you can place stops. However, gap trading is not mindless. It takes patience and experience to tell a runaway gap from an exhaustion gap, and proper trade management requires flexibility and constant monitoring.
As with all trading patterns, a runaway gap isn't foolproof, but understanding the principles involved while putting yourself on the side of momentum gives you a reliable way to spot, track and enter a trade when news shocks and volatility drive many traders to cash.

Hello again - Pawz keeps getting crystals T.T

Hello again - Pawz keeps getting crystals T.T
Hiya everyone!
Long time no see! Gonna be nice and put up some photos of my boys a little later tonight (when I'm not working).
In the meantime, perhaps you can help me with an issue.
My dearest Pawz keeps getting urinary crystals, possibly as soon as he even sniffs dry food. So the vet has recommended he stay on Urinary S/O wet. Fair enough. I've had him on other foods and he still gets the crystals. It's come to the point where if he goes off this food he'll get the crystals again - which means a $1600 vet bill I can't afford.
However, Leo is also being fed this food too - mostly because they share food. He's a little less of a piggy than he used to be but he's still a bit of a hoover. I know he's "not supposed" to be on this food, according to the vet, and it wasn't until I took a peek at the archives that I found out why - he's never had issues with it before so I don't see any "real" reason to stop...it's been years that he's been on the stuff. The vet I spoke to just kept saying "if we don't know much about the cat we recommend c/d" "why can't he be on s/o?" "if we don't...."
The vet I go to is a 24 hour one (mostly because I had no choice as Mr. Pawz decided to have urinary crystals) and so there are multiple vets.
On the 3 cans/day they've both lost some much needed weight but they need to stop losing it at some point.
Once again I'm having money issues. I need to find some way to lessen my expenses.
At this point I'm looking at $200 or more a month. 24 cans = $50. 3 cans/day for both kitties, total (though they could use to be on more). I can't afford that. I can't get them to eat separately (ongoing battle that I think I've managed to lose). To top this allllll off, I need to drive out of my way to get them the food which means ordering in "bulk" (making my poor wallet curl into a ball of despair).
I need some alternatives. Anything that will help. I saw something in the archives about L-meth...something that you can buy from the health food store. Oh and I don't know what kind of crystals he keeps getting either.
FYI previous food he was on was Natural Balance Reduced Calorie dry.
TL;DR - Pawz *has* to stay on Urinary S/O. Said food is lots of money. Wallet is dying. Please help.
** edit: this might be better in cat food?

text: At the lack of a specific thread for this comparison, I thought I would put up my findings. These were compared using an Arizer Solo on level 4 (195°C / 383°F) with 14mm Shorty GonG, lightly packed with Girl Scout Cookies flowers. Size: The Pinnacle Water Tool (PNWT) is shorter and fatter than the f-BOMB and the glass is much thicker. It feels more sturdy and less likely to break. PNWT - 5.125 in long, 1.375in diameter f-BOMB - 5.5in long, 1.125in diameter Diffusion: I find the f-BOMB to diffuse a bit more, due to it's jet holes, but to combat that you can put in less water than the PNWT. Both have sufficient diffusion to cool the vapor and still deliver decent taste. Taste: Not much between them in this department. However, whilst there is less water in my f-BOMB, and therefore would expect more taste to come through, I actually find the PNWT slightly better. I am not sure if it is because the slits are larger in the PNWT or what to be honest, but I find the taste and terpene profiles more pronounced with the PNWT. Draw: The draw on the PNWT is much easier, because of this I tend to blow smaller clouds with the PNWT. The restricted draw and reduced water capacity from the f-BOMB lends itself to larger vapor clouds. Price: Not much in it really. At full price the PNWT is $129.99 USD and the f-BOMB is slightly cheaper at $105.99 USD ($109.99 CAD). However, I got my PNWT with an offer code for $50 USD so it was a n absolute steal. Conclusion: Since receiving the PNWT it has been my go to piece between that and the f-BOMB. It was a steal at $50 with the coupon code, PNWT50 (available till the end of October 2013), so with that in mind it makes it the winner in my opinion. It is great to have two similar pieces though as you never know when you might need a backup! The only issue I have with mine is that the innermost tube in the PNWT is slanted and touching the sides of the tube it is encased in. Doesn't affect the operation, but aesthetically it is slightly off. Nevertheless, I am more than happy with it

Flourysh necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 63 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Prophecy.co.za is an innovative online shop in South Africa. We sell computers, computer components, computer accessories, and other related electronics.
We also run a popular technology discussion forum
Our current site can be seen on http://www.prophecy.co.za (online shop) and http://www.prophecy.co.za/forums (Forum)
Our primary target audience is computer enthusiasts we build their own computers. They vary in age, but with a concentration of 18 to 30, and 80% are male.
However, we do want to expand the brand beyond this audience, and therefore want a site design that will be widely accepted.
We are looking for a redesign of our site at http://www.prophecy.co.za
- This is what our site looks like now - http://www.prophecy.co.za
- It doesn't have to be remotely similar, we are happy with it looking differently!
- The visual style should be built from the starting point of the new logo - see attached file.
- The logo comes in three different variations, with blue + another colour. You can use any of those colours, but we are leaning towards blue as the main colour plus red as a highlight.
- Professional looking - we want to inspire confidence
- Modern, clean, relatively simple
- Cutting edge / high tech
- "high touch" feel - "really good design"
- psd files required, no code.
- The design can be either fixed or fluid - we have a preference for fluid
- the background for any section including product pictures must be white, so that the pictures fit in well.
- We would like it if the "Trust Gaurd" logos at the top of the site should be more integrated into the header in some way
- Frame for category logos. Basically, for each major category (eg, "motherboards") we want to create logos. We where thinking an empty frame to which we can add text, but are open to alternative ideas.
- replacement logo for the "free shipping" logo in the right menu.
- see first post in comments for further instructions

Mayor Don Wesely said today that soil erosion and runoff problems at building sites must be corrected. City inspectors say erosion has become a problem at the majority of building sites in the City. The Mayor called on local builders to follow City ordinances and increase their efforts to control erosion and prevent runoff at building sites.
"We need immediate cooperation from the builders to improve their soil erosion measures to keep dirt on construction sites and stop runoff into the storm sewers," said Mayor Wesely. "City workers have documented numerous paved streets in new developments layered with dirt. With the recent rains, that dirt has now washed into the storm sewers, contributing to poor stream quality and excessive sediment downstream and putting the City at risk of being fined by the federal government."
The state permit issued to the City of Lincoln to discharge stormwater into streams and lakes requires the City to have a program to reduce pollutants that flow into storm sewers. In Lincoln, sediment is the largest pollutant of streams and lakes. Federal regulations and the state permit require the City to enforce an erosion control program to reduce pollutants from construction activities. The federal fine for violating the requirements can be up to $50,000 per day.
"There is another major public cost involved," said Wesely. "Water quality problems at Holmes Lake were created by 40 years of sediment washing into the lake from development and agricultural use. It is now costing taxpayers more than $4 million to remove the sediment."
Those applying for building permits are required to sign a statement that "erosion control measures shall be installed and properly maintained to avoid sediment runoff." Builders are required to remove any dirt tracked onto City streets at the end of each work day. Builders not using erosion control or taking daily clean-up measures at their construction sites are subject to being billed by the City for clean-up costs and fines. The City is sending notices to builders and property owners that it intends to enforce the City's erosion control ordinances.
Since 1999, the Public Works and Utilities Department has partnered with the Home Builders Association of Lincoln, the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District and the Nebraska Environmental Trust to educate builders about the costly problems associated with erosion at construction sites. The campaign included a brochure, video and ongoing workshops on erosion control practices. Brochures and videotapes are still available from Public Works and Utilities.

I was honestly so excited to see my little nuggets when we returned from winter break! They had the biggest hugs & smiles for me as they arrived. The morning went beautifully...I guess since they were all half asleep & half of them were at the nurse....LOL. I was a little afraid to see what was going to happen after lunch. I kept thinking.....either they were seriously just exhausted or they were just behaving to please me....you know remember all the hugs I got???
After lunch.......I was convinced they were intravenously given straight sugar or their parents all gave them pixie sticks for dessert. Let's just say.....HOLY MAMA!
Even though they were exhausting they were eager little learners during Daily 5. I was super stoked to have them try out the new centers I made. I just love the look on their faces when I tell them I made it! They always say it was their favorite...little brown-nosers!
Here is a preview of my Winter-licious unit. I'm super proud of it & worked my
Thanks to Tammy from Live Love Laugh in Kindergarten
for making these monthly bin drawer labels. As soon as I saw this on her blog I had to run out & copy. My hubs even put the labels on for me! You can find her labels here!
Just look at how lucky I am! Here is "A" cutting out a 3'' stack & was laminating at the same time! I.LOVE.HIM!
I'm getting all off track here.........did you see that fabulous chevron rug??? I.AM.OBSESSED. I have been a B.A.D girl since we moved to a new house....I'm mean the shopping.....it's really bad. I could walk to TJ Maxx or Marshalls if that gives you any indication of the temptation I have to deal with....I cave...of course. Hubs is VERY lucky we don't have a Home Goods near by. I just started a new chevron pinterest board...come follow me!
The bins WAY above are where I store all my TPT centers I make or purchase on TPT. The bins are labeled by month & they are the perfect size for center storage! They also make me smile every time I walk by them :o) They are just so cute!
To keep myself and the kiddos organized this is how I store all my centers. I print out the cover & accountability sheet & store those in a sheet protector....don't even get me started talking about sheet protectors! I like to keep the accountability sheet in there so the kids can match it up if there is more than one center going on in word work & it saves me time finding & printing out another sheet when I need to replenish the following year. Of course everything is laminated on card stock. Did you notice the chevron has somehow found it's way into my centers as well...lol. It makes me happy...what can I say.
Look at this cover...my fave! Peace signs, chevron & penguins!!!!
This "Snow Special Synonym" center.
This is the "Winter-ABC Order" center.
This is the "Chill Out! Real/Silly Word Sort" center.
This is the "Scrambled Sentences" center.
|This is the "Peace, Love, & Penguins: Fact or Opinion" Center.
This is the "Penguin Parts of Speech" center.
This is the "Let it Snow Syllables" center.
This is the "Snowmates Compound Word Sort" center.
Each ELA Common Core aligned center comes with amazing graphics! I've included a title sheet with directions & B&W accountability sheets in all 10 centers.
This is the deal. I will try my hardest to do ELA or Math...or both centers for each month. If you purchased my popular Elf on the Shelf unit you can see I put my all in each center I make. No fluff. I base the centers on what I am doing in my classroom during that time of the year. If you would like to see something specific in February leave me a comment. Even if you don't have a suggestion show me some comment love!
The first five to comment with their email will receive this 80+ page unit! GOOOOO! Again, thanks for being a faithful stalker.

Here's a heads-up to the Broadway nay-sayers, the doom and gloomers and those who want to tear down the new Spider-Man musical just because they think they can – start eating your words, people.
Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is so spectacular and so awe-inspiring that all the haters – and there seem to be plenty of them out there – look like complete morons.
To those who have declared the most talked about show ever to arrive on Broadway to be dead on arrival, a ridiculously expensive ($65 million) folly that never had a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding . . . well, we've had an awful lot of snow in New York this year, and Spider-Man is so sizzingly hot that it won't have any problem melting away all of the bad press that's greeted its arrival on the Great White Way.
For sure the production, with music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge of U2 and story and direction by The Lion King's creative genius Julie Taymor, has had its fair share of problems, led by the injuries suffered by some of its cast members, including a horrifying fall by one of the stunt doubles playing Spider-Man.
Technical glitches have plagued some of the preview performances, and the official opening date has been pushed back several times – it was to bow in December, but now the new date is March 15 – leaving critics howling that the preview window has stretched way beyond the Broadway norm, and others proclaiming that all the difficulties only prove that Spidey's web has been a tangled mess from the start.
We went to the Saturday afternoon matinee at the show's Foxwoods Theater home on 42nd Street. There wasn't an empty seat in the house – the previews are the hottest ticket on Broadway, which of course is a good thing for the producers who hope to eventually recoup their initial record-setting investment.
The performance on Saturday was technically flawless. Actually, it was a technical sensation completely unlike anything ever staged on Broadway or anywhere else, a feast for the eyes that's so dazzling, so "wow, wow, wow" that you'll be left totally awestruck.
Spidey flies and swings through the theater, he leaps from balcony to balcony, he stages a battle with his arch-enemy the Green Goblin right over the heads of those in the lower orchestra seats, he climbs all over the elaborate sets . . . it's just a wonder to watch, and an unbelievable achievement to actually execute.
Taymor brought the brilliance of her inventive mind to Broadway with The Lion King, which is still going strong 14 years on, but she's utterly raised the bar to a soaring height – which is exactly what she, Bono and The Edge said they wanted to do – with Spider-Man.
The show's storyline has also gotten battered around by some early commentators – it's not cohesive, it's hard to follow, there is no narrative, blah, blah, blah.
As any fan of the Spider-Man comics or movies will know, the story in a nutshell centers around Peter Parker and his girl Mary Jane. Peter transforms into Spidey and saves the world from evil but still tries hard to maintain his identity as Peter when he's not weaving his webs.
The story in the Broadway incarnation stays true to this line, and there's nothing at all wrong with the Taymor and Bono/Edge new interpretation. The cast members are excellent, so talented and so obviously full of enthusiasm for what they're doing.
Spider-Man isn't Shakespeare, and anyone looking for high drama with a deep and profound meaning is fortunate because there are lots of those type of shows playing on Broadway and elsewhere in the city.
Taymor has added the new character of Arachne, a sinister female spider for Spidey to contend with. The character proves to be an integral part of the story – maybe a bit too much in the second half, which Taymor acknowledges is still being worked on in advance of the opening in March.
If there's one legitimate complaint that's been voiced about the show, it's that the ending lacks a final jolt of oomph given all the razzle dazzle that preceded. If I was Taymor, Bono and The Edge I'd definitely shake up the final 15 minutes some more, and let Spidey go out with a wondrous leap that will send audience members rushing back to the box office for more tickets even faster than they already undoubtedly will.
So what of Bono and The Edge's musical score? As one half of U2, the world's most important and celebrated rock band for the past three decades, they certainly have huge reputations to live up to . . . and they've done exactly that, with great aplomb.
Their score is an artistic triumph that they can and should be extremely proud of. It's edge-y (excuse the pun), it's vital to Taymor's narrative and the overall feel of the show, suspenseful when it needs to be, mellow when it needs to be.
And it's absolutely tinged with U2-isms . . . Edge's distinctive guitar hooks, Bono's vintage prose and knack for telling a story. One of the band's most popular hits, "Vertigo," even makes a fun appearance in a disco scene with Peter and Mary Jane.
As with seemingly everything Spider-Man related, the music has also come in for a wallop in some quarters. One critic from Bloomberg sniffed, "As with most rock stars, Bono and The Edge haven't a clue about writing for the theater."
Oh, please. As if the "theee-aah-tuh" is so above everything else – like, selling more than 150 million albums, touring the world with sell-out stadium shows, and creating unforgettable songs that will stand the test of time for years and years to come.
That's what Bono and The Edge have already accomplished. They don't need Broadway … but Broadway, with slumping ticket sales, sure could use some of their magic.
To be part of a band like U2 is a career achievement that the rest of us can only dream of, and their score for Spider-Man is yet another notch on a belt full of successes.
The bottom line from our vantage point? If you want to be entertained on Broadway like never before, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is just the ticket. Fans at the performance we saw – especially the many children – were enthralled by what they witnessed, with lots of "oohs" and "aahs," wide eyes and open jaws. It's people such as these who will determine whether the show stands or falls, and from what we can tell, they're very much ready to stand with Spidey.
There will be professional critics who undoubtedly won't be fans when the official reviews come out after March 15 – but these people also don't like apple pie or cute babies.
Okay, just kidding on that last point -- of course, everyone is entitled to an opinion -- but if ever a show has the power to be critic-proof, Spider-Man is it. But hopefully it won't need to be, and hopefully the professional reviewers who eventually put pen to paper will look at the show with open eyes, and forget about its past controversies.
The Marvel Comic creation is a marvel in every way – and those who want to see it fail will be sorely disappointed because it won't.

(Reuters) - Fouad Ajami, a prolific writer who became one of the world's most prominent Middle East historians, died on Sunday aged 68, Stanford University said.
Ajami, a Shiite Muslim who was born in Lebanon and emigrated to the United States in 1963, died after battling cancer, said the university's Hoover Institution, where he was a senior fellow.
The author of some 400 essays on Arab and Islamic politics, U.S. foreign policy and contemporary international history, Ajami was credited with research that charted the road to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. targets, the Iraq war and the U.S. presence in the Arab-Islamic world, the statement said.
Ajami taught at Princeton and American University, and served as director of Middle East studies at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University for more than three decades.
A contributing editor for U.S. News and World Report and a board member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Ajami was also a familiar face on television news, including CNN, where he frequently discussed Middle East issues.
"He was a great intellect and was full of grace and compassion," said CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Twitter. "He was a wonderful scholar and a lovely human being."
Among honors Ajami secured over the decades were the National Humanities Medal in 2006 and the MacArthur Fellows Award, which we won in 1982.
His books included "The Arab Predicament," "Beirut: City of Regrets," "The Dream Palace of the Arabs" and "The Foreigner's Gift."

Clean Sweep For Track At Districts
It was complete and total domination for tracksters in red at the District 2B Meet.
The Glasgow girls scored 216 points, 82 tallies in front of second-place Plentywood, followed by Malta (96), Wolf Point (49), Poplar (10) and Harlem (2). The boys were not quite as dominant, but were still solidly the best team at the meet, scoring 199 points to Malta's 163. Plentywood was third with 99, Poplar had 20, Harlem scored 13 and Wolf Point was last with two.
The Scotties "came to play," said Head Coach John LaBonty.
That was no more evident than in the seven events where the Scotties placed four athletes. The boys had three such events and the girls had four.
The same four girls completed the feat in two events, the 800-meter run and the 1,600. Rachael Zeiger led the way with a gold in the 800, followed by Amanda Wolff in second, Josie Braaten in third and Emma Fewer in fifth. In the 1,600, Braaten led way with a gold. Zeiger came in second, Wolff in third and Fewer again came in fifth.
Braaten (first), Wolff (second) and Fewer (fourth) also put on a show in the 3,200. Kerry Hoffman joined them with a finish in fifth.
Then in the 100 hurdles, Debra Griebel, Abbi Helland, Amy Breigenzer and Julia Kolstad swept the top four spots. And Keirsten Wethern nearly snuck in, just missing out on sixth place.
In the 200 for the boys, Chase Fossum took second, followed by Bryan Larson, Ryan Grandchamp and Bridger Sanders in order. Four Scotties finished in a row again in the high jump – Jason Thibault was third, Jake Kolstad fourth, Zach Miller fifth and Chase Fossum sixth.
Yet again finishing in a row, Walker Allen led the way in the 1,600 with a third, followed by Austin Green, Matt Phillips and Ethan Etchart. The 1,600 was shortly after Green took gold in the 800, aggravating his "tweaked" quadricep that he hurt in the 3,200, where he placed in first, earlier in the day.
"I was a little sore going into Saturday but during the two-mile, I tweaked my quad and then got worse during the 800," Green said. "It completely tightened up in the second lap."
Green limped through the finish in the 800, still beating his competitors handily.
When distance coach Tim Phillips suggested the possibility of scratching from the 1,600, Green, a senior, wasn't listening.
All he wanted, he said, was to make it to the divisional during his last year in Scottie red.
Green started the mile very slowly, clearly setting a pace that wouldn't aggravate his quad any more. His teammates and Phillips yelled at him as he passed by to take it easy. They needed him in top shape for his other events at divisionals. Still, he pushed on.
There were seven competitors in the event and the top six moved on. Green knew he had to push himself just a bit to get into the top six. With one lap to go, he made his move, passing three in the process to finish in fourth.
"He manned his way through the 800, just hurting the whole way. Then came back and did the mile . . . I'm really proud of his effort," said Phillips. "He's worked hard for so many years."
Altogether, Green scored 24 points for the Scotties.
Debra Griebel was the high scorer for the girls, accumulating 38 points on the day with three first-places finishes and one second. She took home gold in the 200 and both hurdles and grabbed silver in the 100, finishing just .2 seconds behind Plentywood's Ashley Olson. Griebel exacted her revenge in the 200, out-pacing Olson by .3 seconds.
Amy Breigenzer and Julie Kolstad followed Griebel in the 100, finishing in fifth and sixth respectively. Helland took fifth in the 200. Helland pushed Griebel again in the 300 hurdles, taking second. Kolstad followed in fourth.
Zeiger was the lone representative for the Scottie girls in the 400, finishing in third to round out the individual track events.
In the field, Megan Dailey was the high-point scorer, taking second in both the high jump and long jump. Laurel Wageman scored a gold in the pole vault and took sixth in the long jump. Amy Breigenzer was first in the triple jump.
In the throws, Dana Hughes finished in fifth in both the shot put and the javelin.
Finally, in both relays, the girls finished in first, beating Malta each time.
"We knew the girls would win. We just had the numbers," said LaBonty. "The boys depended on what Malta put out there was a big part of it, so I was very tickled with the boys."
The boys got a good start to their day by placing three in the 3,200. Led by Green in first, Walker Allen in third and Matt Phillips in fourth, the Scotties jumped out with 20 points from the very first event.
Then, when the dashes started scoring points for the Scotties, LaBonty knew they were in good shape.
"As we went along, our sprinters were doing so well, we knew our distance kids were going to do well and they did," said LaBonty when asked when he knew the boys were running away with the district title.
Certain breaks worked towards the Scotties' advantage, as well. Malta's Tucker Schye came in with an injury and was unable to run in the shorts sprints.
"He came up hurt and he's one of the good sprinters. So, he couldn't run. That just opened the door, that's how sports work, it opened the door for our sprinters," said LaBonty. "We've been nursing Ryan Grandchamp along and this gave him a great chance to do well and he did."
Grandchamp was second in the 100 and fourth in the 200. Larson joined him in both sprints, taking third in both.
In the 400, Sanders took silver, Ethan Etchart was fifth and Fossum was sixth. Sanders again took silver in the 800, followed by Zach Miller, who was sixth.
The two-mile, headlined by Green's gold, also featured Allen's third and Phillips' fourth. Lachlan Vaira led the way in the hurdles, taking second in the 110 hurdles and fourth in the 300 hurdles. Etchart joined him in the long hurdles, finishing in sixth.
The boys' 4X100 relay was second behind Malta and the 4X400 relay was third.
Grandchamp added on to his sprint totals with a first-place in the long jump. Bryan Larson followed in fourth and Jason Thibault was fifth. Lachlan Vaira and Chase Fossum were second and third respectively in the triple jump.
Dillon Pankratz was the lone Scottie representative in the pole vault, clearing 10 feet, 6 inches for second place.
The throwers also had a good day for the Scotties, qualifying six for divisionals. Tanner Roness was sixth in both the discus and the javelin. Tyler Wesen was fourth in the shot put. Trevor Toavs was fourth in the discus. Robbie Henville took fifth in the shot and Thibault rounded out the throws with a fifth in the javelin.
"Our boys really stepped up," said throwing coach Wade Nelson.
Combined with Dana Hughes for the girls, "all seven of them have a realistic chance of moving on," he said.
They'll get that chance on Saturday as the Scotties host the Northern B Divisional, where District 1B will provide the next challenge for Glasgow.
"Our times and distances, we're comparing them with the 1B, and we're right with them or better," said LaBonty.
The Fairfield boys took first by a slim margin over Shelby, 140-137. Cut Bank, Choteau and Conrad followed.
On the girls' side, Choteau was first with 153 points and Cut Bank was second with 130. Fairfield, Conrad, Shelby and Rocky Boy rounded out the field.
The divisional meet begins Saturday morning at Scottie stadium.

The Atlanta Falcons were "optimistic" about getting rookie cornerback Desmond Trufant into camp on time, and there was good reason for that.
The team's first-round draft pick signed his contract with the Falcons on Wednesday, NFL.com's Steve Wyche reported. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press it's a four-year, $8.16 million contract, of which $4.3 million is guaranteed. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms had not been announced by the Falcons.
There was concern that Trufant and Atlanta's front office might be headed for a long squabble over money, based on his being selected at No. 22 overall, where the Cleveland Browns grabbed quarterback Brandon Weeden in 2012. Cleveland signed Weeden to a four-year, $8.083 million contract with $7,511,288 in guarantees. That was more guaranteed money than Atlanta wanted to fork over, according to ProFootballTalk.com.
With the sides settling their differences, Trufant is set to play a critical role in the Falcons' secondary. The former University of Washington standout will compete in a three-man battle with Dominique Franks and Robert Alford for the right cornerback slot opposite Asante Samuel.
The Falcons also announced the signing of rookie quarterback Sean Renfree, who was taken in the seventh round of April's draft.

1,200 flee Nova Scotia wildfire
by UPI
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -- A wind-driven wildfire burned almost 1,000 acres in Halifax, Nova Scotia, early Friday, forcing some 1,200 people from their homes, authorities said.
No injuries had been reported as the Canadian Red Cross mobilized to set up shelters and communications facilities.
Late Thursday, Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly said eight homes had been destroyed and an untold number of others badly damaged, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
"The fire is not under control," Kelly said. "We want people to stay away."
The blaze broke out Thursday afternoon, said Capt. Dave Meldrum, spokesman for the Halifax regional fire service.
Meldrum said the forested area in the Spryfield region is"surprisingly dry" for the time of year, The Chronicle-Herald newspaper in Halifax reported.
Welcome rain was expected but the forecast also included winds of 35 mph, which would help spread the fire, the newspaper said.

The Washington Post covers Obama's speech on energy yesterday, in which he called for opening up the nation's strategic reserves to lower the price of gasoline -- "the second time in less than a week that he has modified a position on energy issues." More: "The proposal, along with Obama's comments last week that he would consider expanding offshore drilling as part of a comprehensive energy bill, illustrated how both candidates are trying to find quick fixes to $4-a-gallon gas and other rising energy costs. McCain had also opposed additional offshore drilling until reversing his position in June, and he has called for a suspension of the federal gas tax."
"But their proposals reflect a problem both candidates face: There are few ways to dramatically reduce gas prices, even as voters demand solutions."
The New York Times: "The proposals Mr. Obama offered Monday represented an effort to return the campaign's focus to bread-and-butter issues after he found himself repeatedly on the defensive last week against a newly aggressive McCain campaign. 'We should sell 70 million barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for less expensive crude, which in the past has lowered gas prices within two weeks,' Mr. Obama said. 'Over the next five years, we should also lease more of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska for oil and gas production, and we should also tap more of our substantial natural gas reserves and work with the Canadian government to finally build the Alaska natural gas pipeline, delivering clean natural gas.'"
Yet: "At the heart of Mr. Obama's proposals is a focus on fostering alternative energy development by investing $150 billion in emerging technologies and renewable fuels. Seeking to put a million fuel-efficient hybrid plug-in automobiles on the road, he said that he would offer a $7,000 tax credit to buyers, the overall cost of which he did not specify. In addition, Mr. Obama said his goal was to have 10 percent of the country's energy needs met by renewable resources by the end of his first term, more than double the current figure."
The Houston Chronicle: "John McCain received prolonged applause from the oil executives who gathered June 17 in Houston to hear the Republican presidential candidate's speech on energy policy. Now it appears that McCain received something else: Lots of campaign contributions."
"John McCain's contributions from energy industry interests happened to spike right around his Houston speech (and a fundraising tour of Texas). Is it a coincidence, the result of aggressive Texas outreach -- or is it a show of gratitude? Let us know what you think."
The Wall Street Journal did a whole story on the GOP's tire gauge gag.
Time fact-checks the tire gauge issue and finds Obama is right. "The RNC is trying to make the tire gauge a symbol of unseriousness, as if only the fatuous believed we could reduce our dependence on foreign oil without doing the bidding of Big Oil. But the tire gauge is really a symbol of a very serious piece of good news: we can use significantly less energy without significantly changing our lifestyle. The energy guru Amory Lovins has shown that investment in "nega-watts" — reduced electricity use through efficiency improvements — is much more cost-effective than investment in new megawatts, and the same is clearly true of nega-barrels. It might not fit the worldviews of right-wingers who deny the existence of global warming and insist that reducing emissions would destroy our economy, or of left-wing Earth-firsters who insist that maintaining our creature comforts would destroy the world, but there's a lot of simple things we can do on the demand side before we start rushing to ratchet up supply."

Shared Services
Shared Services provides secure industry-wide data and information services to help cable companies prosper. Shared Services addresses the inherent inefficiencies of exchanging information between multiple cable companies and multiple business partners. Working with cable company experts, Shared Services develops standard interfaces and provides platforms to enable information exchange.
Our Services
Our platforms demonstrate that providing shared information services for the cable industry creates significant value in three key areas, described below:
Interface Specifications
- Eliminate point to point integration that is costly & difficult to maintain
- Accelerate business and IT alignment, while supporting individual MSO business agreements and policies
Platforms and Applications
- Enable 3rd party indirect channel sales via a national footprint
- Provide integration support for industry specification implementations (onboarding, testing)
- Provide cost reductions by consolidating common functions over a shared infrastructure
- Provide 24×7 support of hosted platforms and applications
- Provide a single industry technical roadmap with development priorities
Industry Insight
- Improves customer experience from trending and best practice identification
Go2Broadband (G2B) is the cable industry's automated national platform for service location, lead generation, automated orders and activity reporting. G2B provides the ability to locate, quote, order, and schedule installation for video, phone, high-speed internet, and other services at a national level by interacting with multiple MSO back-office systems in real-time. The major MSOs (representing 94% of the national footprint) and more than 2,900 participating affiliates currently participate in the G2B program.
The G2B process:
- A customer at an affiliate site (retail kiosk or website) submits a query to G2B, requesting the availability of cable services for a specific address.
- G2B contacts the participating MSO, who responds with information on its service offerings to the customer or affiliate.
- After the customer views the cable service offerings, additional dynamic messages are used to enable the order to be placed directly with the MSO for activation and possibly appointment scheduling.
One of the key advantages of G2B is that the same message set and structure will work with all MSOs participating in G2B.
How to Participate:
- To Become an Affiliate
Firms who have an interest in joining the Go2Broadband project to sell cable services should contact us by sending an e-mail to email@example.com. Please include your name, company name, phone, e-mail address and a list of the cable operators with whom you are working.
- To Become a Participating Cable Operator
Interested Cable Operators should contact us by sending an e-mail to email@example.com or by calling 303.661.9100.
The Business Services Locator leverages various components of the G2B platform to allow MSOs or other service providers to obtain cable service information for business addresses. The tool facilitates single address lookup or multiple lookup across MSOs providing a fast and easy way to explore industry serviceability for national business accounts.
How to Participate:
Interested parties should contact us by sending an e-mail to email@example.com (subject line in e-mail should state your interest in participating in Business Services Locator) or by calling 303.661.9100.
Wireless Service Locator (WSL) is the cable industry's platform for sharing Wi-Fi hotspot location information. WSL users include all MSOs participating in the CableWiFi roaming initiative, as well as other MSOs and affiliated service providers. CableLabs operates WSL as a service to our member companies to ensure accuracy of data and simplify the process of hotspot data exchange.
The WSL process:
- Participating MSOs load their Wi-Fi hotspot location information in WSL and define rules regarding roaming partner data access.
- MSOs, MSO roaming partners and service providers (such as mapping providers and hotspot locator application developers) retrieve consolidated hotspot location information from WSL according to the originating MSO sharing rules. Alerts and notifications can be defined to determine when partner data updates are available for retrieval.
- Consolidated hotspot location information is used by MSOs and their partners to update customer-facing maps and hotspot finder applications.
- WSL enables MSOs to exchange data using either a CableLabs specified data format or the WRIX-L specification defined by the Wireless Broadband Alliance.
How to Participate:
Interested parties should contact us by sending an e-mail to email@example.com (subject line in e-mail should state interest in participating in Wireless Service Locator) or by calling 303.661.9100.
