Webster Dictionary
c is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C was the same letter as the Greek /, /, and came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the Ph/nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French. Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L. acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L. cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare, OF. cerchier, E. search
the keynote of the normal or "natural" scale, which has neither flats nor sharps in its signature; also, the third note of the relative minor scale of the same
c after the clef is the mark of common time, in which each measure is a semibreve (four fourths or crotchets); for alla breve time it is written /
the "C clef," a modification of the letter C, placed on any line of the staff, shows that line to be middle C
as a numeral, C stands for Latin centum or 100, CC for 200, etc
C is the third letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. It is used to represent one hundred in Roman numerals.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
1. The third letter of the English alphabet. 2. ASCII 1000011.

The prince from "Cinderella" has a cell phone. Well, at least he does in the Young Players Summer Theatre Camp version.
The prince from "Cinderella" has a cell phone. Well, at least he does in the Young Players Summer Theatre Camp version.
It's one of the many more modern attributes applied to the classic Disney story line by director Bob Dye and the dozens of child actors from throughout Davidson County who will perform the play this weekend.
The Young Players camp, sponsored by the Edward C. Smith Civic Center, will perform "Cinderella" at 10 a.m. and noon Saturday at the civic center at 217 S. Main St. Tickets cost $5 and can be purchased at the door.
Dye said 36 young actors from ages 4-11 will perform the classic, which has other modern twists like a costume spectrum that ranges from the 1970s to that of the ongoing popular reality TV competition, "Project Runway."
Many of the young actors, like 9-year-old Sidney Briggs, said they were already familiar with the story line from watching the popular Disney cartoon movie. Briggs, who will play one of Cinderella's two stepsisters, Anastasia, said she was happy when she received her part.
"I thought it would be fun to act mean once in a while, and I've done it before," Sidney said, laughing and adding that she had two sisters and one brother. "I've been evil before."
The summer theatre camp, which has previously been called the Davidson County Youth Summer Theater Program and before that Davidson County Schools Summer Stock Program, will not include an older group performance this year, as it has in the past.
Dye said the group went into debt after the performances of "101 Dalmatians" and "Guys and Dolls" last year, and the civic center's board of directors decided to sponsor a performance solely for young actors this summer.
"They are doing a really good job," Dye said of the young actors. "They have all watched the movies and for some reason keep asking me where the cat is. I have to keep telling them there is no cat in this version."
The Young Players version does include most of the same characters from the Disney classic, however, in addition to familiar song titles and melodies.
The entire show will last about 45 minutes, Dye said.
"It's ideal for people to bring young children to," he said.
Dye's grandson, Ryder Dye, is playing the prince in the production who ultimately falls for Cinderella, who will be played by Madeline Blackwell.
Ryder said there aren't many things he loves more than being on stage and interacting with his fellow young actors.
"I've really enjoyed meeting people," Ryder said. "I can't say anything bad about any of this. There's nothing I've ever done with theater that I haven't enjoyed."
Ryder, who is 11 years old, said he's performed in a number of his grandfather's plays, including "101 Dalmatians," "Guys and Dolls" and "Look Homeward, Angel."
"Theater and sports are my main goals for when I get older," Ryder said.
Emilee Crowell, who will play Cinderella's other stepsister, Drizella, said she, too, has been a part of Dye's plays in the past.
"If you get to know him well, he comes on stage and acts out different characters," Emilee said, snickering. "It's really fun."

Jeff Coffin is arguably the busiest man in music, and the last year or so has only helped to prove it. In addition to his main gig as The Flecktones' saxophonist since 1997, he's put out three solo albums with his ever-evolving rotation of musicians, the Mu'tet, since 2001. The group's latest release never saw the light of live performance—until now. Mutopia, released in July 2008, features fellow Flecktone, Futureman on acoustic drums (Jeff Sipe will play drums live), Felix Pastorius on electric bass, and Derek Trucks' current keyboardist Kofi Burbridge on flute and keys as well as a slew of guest collaborations including Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten, DJ Black Cat Sylvester and more. Mutopia —placed on the back-burner when Coffin got a call from the Dave Matthews Band to fill in for the late LeRoi Moore in July 2008—will finally get some live exposure with four Mu'tet dates scheduled this October, and plans for more before the end of this year. As if that's not enough, Coffin appeared on Umphrey's McGee's last two studio efforts: 2007's The Bottom Half and 2008's Mantis, and has performed live with the group on several occasions. He also played with My Morning Jacket during a 2008 Bonnaroo set and at its New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden last year.
Not 12 hours after DMB had begun the final leg of its extensive international summer tour on September 19th, the chameleon-like Coffin spent a sunny nearly-autumn morning on the PA side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Between sets in Camden, NJ, the talented saxophonist riffed about his now year-old Mutopia, the echelon of musicians he's assembled to support him on the upcoming mini-tour and a lot more. To put it simply, the guy had a lot to say.
You have four Mu'tet dates coming up in October. You said you've been trying to get this group of musicians (Jeff Sipe, Kofi Burbridge, Felix Pastorius) out for nearly four years.
This particular configuration, yes.
What is your relationship like with these players?
I've known Sipe for a long time from festivals and stuff we did with the Flecktones, and I knew about Aquarium Rescue Unit from when we first moved to Atlanta. I remember the first time I heard those guys, I literally pulled off the road, I was like, "_What_ is going on?" I had just moved to Nashville, so this was early '90s, and truly man, I was completely blown away. So when Sipe and I got a chance to meet, and eventually play together also, he was such a powerful musician, such a powerful, spirited musician. He was kind of the reason for enlarging the circle of players that I played with, he was kind of the impetus for that. I knew that I wanted to play with him so I made a real conscious decision to start using guys who were outside of Nashville, and to try to go and sit in with them also, and start to move that outward. So I've been playing with Jeff for years, he played on my Bloom record and he and I are in the middle of a duet project that's being mixed right now.
As for Felix, I needed a bass player for a Mu'tet tour, and a couple of the guys that I normally used weren't available, so I talked to Victor Wooten, and he said, "Call Felix." I had met Felix a couple of times, but we had never played together, he was 19 at the time. So I called him up and asked if he was interested and available, and he said absolutely. So we've been playing together now like eight years. It was interesting, I remember as the gig got a little closer, I started to think, "Wow, I hope he can play this stuff," because I never heard him play. But if Vic was confident in him, I'm confident in him. But every now and again there'd be this little tinge of concern, just hoping that it was all going to sort of work. I had this dream the night before Felix got there that I was sitting out somewhere under this big tree, and he came up and started talking about stuff, and for whatever reason the next morning, I thought, "Oh, this is going to be cool." So Felix and I have been working on and off for a number of years, and he's on Mutopia, he really sounds beautiful. He's Jaco's [Pastorius] son. A lot of people think he looks a lot like Jaco, the way he plays also, the gestures and whatnot. But he's really got his own thing entirely. He sounds beautiful.
As far as Kofi, we've known each other forever. I met him at his Zambiland thing that Jeff Sipe used to put together, called the Zambiland Orchestra. It was kind of this loose conglomeration of about 80 people on stage at a time, and it was insane. It was a big fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank down in Atlanta and it was crazy. I was like, "_Wow_ this is great." I think it may have been the first place that Sipe and I played together. He invited me down, and all of these guys came in from all over the place, and they were all connected with Jeff. And it was really incredible to meet these guys and play with them. So that's kind of how I initially met them, and Jeff and I really lock in well together, so this configuration of players I tried to get together just about four years ago. Sipe couldn't make [the recording sessions] at the last minute, so I let Futureman play and that's when the gestation for Mutopia came about too—I was like, "I really gotta record this group." Kofi is a genius as far as I'm concerned, he's this beautiful combination of learned and street. The stuff he brings to the table is just phenomenal, how quickly he catches on to things. He's studied classical flute since he was a child and the piano stuff—to hear his harmonic sense when he plays piano—dear God, it's ridiculous. So I'm really excited about everybody playing together.

Nvidia Hybrid SLI FAQs
Q: Which OS supports Hybrid SLI?
A: Hybrid SLI is supported only by Windows Vista. It is not supported with any other operating system.
Q: How can I tell if Hybrid SLI is working?
A: You can force a change in the Hybrid SLI mode by changing the Vista Power Profile. Double click on the battery icon on the system tray to access VPP mode. First look at the Hybrid SLI icon on the system tray to see if it is changing. When you run a 3D application it will usually run much slower when the system is in Save Power mode and much faster in Boost Performance mode. You may also notice additional system fan noise when the system is in Boost Performance mode.
Q: What do I do if an application is blocking a hybrid transition?
A: You may choose to ignore the hybrid transition attempt if you do not want to close applications that are running. This may result in slower performance in Save Power mode or shorter battery life in Boost Performance mode. To switch into the other mode go to the application listed on the dialog and close it. Then try forcing the mode change again.
Q: Will performance of GeForce Boost increase if the frame buffer size of mGPU is increased? Is there a minimum frame buffer size required for GeForce Boost?
A: The minimum frame buffer size of the mGPU required for GeForce Boost support is 256MB. The performance of GeForce Boost depends on the processing powers of the dGPU and the mGPU and other system factors. For best scaling, a dGPU that is recommended for GeForce Boost should be used along with a Hybrid SLI enabled system board GPU.
Q: What is the maximum number of monitors that can be connected in a system that has onboard GPU and dGPU?
A: The number of displays, including the LCD, that can be connected to a Hybrid SLI notebook depends on the notebook design, but is typically three or less with only two displays that can be active at a time. The selection of which monitors to display on is managed in the display property page.
Q: Which hybrid mode should the user enter to best support HD DVD/Bluray playback?
A: Both Hybrid-Performance and Hybrid-Power modes deliver excellent playback of HD DVD and Blu-ray DVD titles at full 1080p resolution. Hybrid Power mode is recommended as it will offer the best acoustic and low power experience when watching high definition content.
Q: Is Hybrid SLI supported for Intel chipsets?
A: Hybrid SLI is supported only on Nvidia® system board GPU chipsets. The shared GPU architecture between dGPU and mGPU allows for a much smoother user experience, as well as the performance benefit of SLI scaling. However, a feature called Dynamic Hybrid Graphics which is the ability to transition dynamically between an Intel notebook chipset and an Nvidia® discrete GPU is supported.

We are an early stage internet travel company. We serves as a travel home base, offering travelers a single location for managing and tracking travel. Trips are seamlessly brought into a user's account, wherever they are booked, adding efficiency that frees the traveler from the hassles of merging all the details. We also track users frequent flyer points and miles and notify users before they expire. With us, users are connected to their Facebook stream via Traxo's Facebook application if they want to share trips directly with those contacts in addition to contacts selected.
We are travel industry experts who love traveling, but hate the hassels associated with travel. We are trying to make the trip planning process easier.
People who travel over 3+ times a year for business/pleasure. They often book at different travel sites and don't have an assistant to pull their information together. They like to travel but hate dealing with some of the travel details. Most likely to be college educated and $50K+ income level.
We currently also attract frequent flyer junkies who like to track all of their miles/points in one place.
We are launching travel trophies which award trophies based on the number of states, countries that the user has gone to. This functionality will allow users to "show off" their travel achievements with their friends and appeals to the social nature of travel.
We are looking to create a series of travel "trophies" or badges that we will award based on their travel accomplishments. Similar to Gowalla, Foursquare and Klout, we want to award these accomplishments in order for people to see where they have traveled, but also to share with their friends. For this contest, we are looking to see a series of 3 travel trophies. We are calling them Traxo Trophies. They are listed below:
1. States visited
2. # Elite Status
3. # miles traveled
These Trophy Icons should be consistent from a look and feel standpoint with each other. The trophy should have the following: Graphic, place for the number i.e. 5 (for number of states they have visited), and the title of the trophy, i.e. States visited. Please look at the attached document and we are looking to develop something similar to what Klout uses. These trophies need to fit into the current Traxo design.
These trophies should be attractive, interesting and visually catching as they will be shared on our site as well as facebook. They should be 64x64 in size and vector graphics
We would like to see all 3 trophies designed to insure consistency between the different designs. We will also have follow up design work for additional icons for at least additional 10-20 icons.
Please contact me for a detailed brief

I first met the clear, bracing waters of Balmorhea's swimming pool on a family vacation decades ago. Wading far into the shallow wing of a pool that stretched nearly the length of a football field, I imagined I stood in the middle of an ocean. Apparently other people had a similar reaction, because in the 1970s, scuba divers began frequenting this remarkable oasis in the desert.
Every day, 19 million gallons flow from San Solomon Springs, refilling the one-and-three-quarter-acre pool completely every six hours. That accounts for visibility reaching 80 horizontal feet—at least early in the day, before divers stir things up. Water temperature remains 74 to 76 degrees year round, so consider bringing a wetsuit. The spacious grounds provide plenty of room for gearing up, and steps into the water facilitate entry and exit.
Twenty-five feet below, among the rocks and plants at the bottom, fine gravel over the pool's prolific springs resembles tiny, exploding popcorn. Pool residents include velvet-black headwater catfish, endangered Pecos gambusia, schools of Rio Grande tetra unafraid to get nose-to-mask, Comanche springs pupfish, and the occasional crayfish or softshell turtle. Balmorhea offers a leisurely, safe dive experience that is perfect for beginners, and the pool's shallow, clear waters make this a fun outing for snorkelers, too.
The local dive shop keeps irregular hours, so confirm that it's open ahead of time, or bring your own gear and air tanks. I like to bring a wagon or dolly to help transport tanks and gear from the parking lot to the pool.
For information about pool hours and fees, call Balmorhea State Park, 432/375-2370; www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/balmorhea. Reach the Funky L'il Dive Shop at 432/375-2572; www.toyahvale.com.

Who got their pre-sale tickets? First time in Vegas for me, so pumped!
kind of jealous not going to lie
Not to be a downer, but it does matter where you're sitting.
Seats any good?
I heard cage side is like $2500.
better than 25k for the boxing now thats crazy s---
Cageside is good, but only if you're in the first 3-5 rows, imo. First level that is non-floor, have the best seats in the house if you can get somewhat close(unless you're in the mentioned first few cageside rows), imo and you save so much money.
I've been to a few events, and I've always been in the area you're describing. 1st or 2nd row just above the floor.
If you show up for the prelims, most of the seats down there are empty, and you can just move down.
On second thought, I did go to WEC 51, and I was on the 2nd level, and had a horrible view of the fights. It was cool, but for the sake of watching the actual fight... I couldn't see sh*t
Yep. Best seats in the house, imo, especially if you're center cage!
I've experienced that as well. Same as being way back on the floor seats, couldn't see crap once the fight hit the ground. Pretty pointless to pay good money and see nothing, at least with crap seats, you can justify not seeing nothing by paying little $$$
Vegas is f---ing insane dude, you will have an incredible time. I'd suggest going for more than just a weekend. Try to extend it out to at least 4 days if you can. Lots to see and do.
Yeah man, I'm flying in on the 27th and staying untill Jan. 1st. New years baby!!!
I paid $200/ticket. Section 216...so one section off center on the upper bowl. I've been to UFC 129 and sat in the nosebleeds of the 55,000 arena though and still had a great time, so I'm not too worried about it.
Anymore than 4 days in Vegas and your soul needs a month to recover.
I've been three times with just "the guys"..... and I've learned there are right and wrong ways to do Vegas.
The golden rule: Drink, have fun, but get some sleep.
The first time I went to Vegas, I was there for 4 days, and was up until like 10 or 11 am every single day. I was either hungover or drunk the entire time, and to be honest.... didn't really enjoy it.
The second time, I hit the sack around midnight, and actually slept. Got up and partied in the morning and all through the day. It was a lot more fun.
Also..... Freemont is pretty sketchy at 3-4 in the morning.
It's gonna be crazy! I recently moved from Vegas, you're going to have a blast!
Make sure you stop by the MMAJunkie Radio station at Mandalay. They are super nice guys when you meet them in person.
Goes to show how cool Vegas is when I actually went there for my honeymoon! My wife and I just walked around in mid-July (stayed at Bellagio) and checked out the touristy stuff. Never made it out to the Dam or Canyon though. One thing we kinda regret. We never even made it to old Vegas either. It was such an amazing experience for both of us regardless. The casinos are f---ing amazing - especially Caesars (with the mall) and Bellagio. Loved the Mirage as well.
Yea the Casinos are pretty incredible. There are a few new ones that were completed in the last few years and they're supposed to be the bees knees.
I was there just after they had opened, but didn't make it in.
@Galorian: If you want to gamble and drink for much less. Hit up Casino Royale (across from Treasure Island). It's a little hole in the wall casino with $1 Michelobs ALL DAY errr day.
Cosmopolitian and City Centre pretty bad ***!
Yup! Those were them!
I rigged much of the cosmo surveillance system. The place is just amazing. Their pool is elevated from the strip, so you have perfect views around you while still feeling secluded.
How was living in Vegas? I'm half tempted to move back that way in a few years in an effort to work for the UFC.
I've lived in Idaho, Colorado, and now DC... and I gotta say.... DC is by far my least favorite. Ready to relocate again.
If you don't mind 4 1/2 to 5 months of crazy heat, it's not bad. I personally don't like the climate, but compared to the cost of living in California, I wouldn't mind going back to Vegas. Surprisingly, Vegas is now very affordable, easy to get around and always something to do. The economy still isn't the great, but if you're not picky, there are plenty of options to make good money. I've stayed in CO for awhile(both in Boulder and Longmont area-it was nice).
Boulder's awesome. I lived in Aurora and Denver.
At least it's dry heat. It's a f*cking swamp here. I hate humidity more than I hate heat.

Whisky Review: Crown Royal XR Canadian Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on March 21, 2010
This is the last review in the series of reviews I am doing for the Crown Royal Family of Whiskies. My previous reviews were for the regular Crown Royal Whisky, The Crown Royal Reserve, and The Crown Royal Cask No. 16. I missed the Crown Royal Limited Edition but that's the way things go sometimes, and unless I receive a sample bottle for review it shall remain omitted, as I think everyone can get a good feeling for the Crown Royal family based upon the four completed reviews.
Here is an excerpt from the latest review:
"…The XR has a rich oak filled nose with a definite bourbon flair accented by vanilla and toffee scents. A swirl of my glass reveals all kinds of legs. An army of long skinny legs first trails quickly back into the glass followed by fat droopy legs which gather as droplets on the sides of the glass…"

Doha Tower Named Best Tall Building Worldwide
Awards Ceremony Honors Jahn, Thornton and Tomasetti for Stellar Careers
October 19, 2012
See all the Winners and FinalistsRead an overview of the afternoon's Symposium that preceded this event
The distinctive and innovative Doha Tower, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, was named Best Tall Building Worldwide by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat in a ceremony Oct. 18 in the Illinois Institute of Technology's seminal Crown Hall.
The announcement of the worldwide award winner capped the CTBUH 11th Annual Awards Symposium, Ceremony and Dinner, a day and evening affair that attracted industry professionals from around the world. The events started in the morning with a full-day free symposium featuring presentations by all the award winners, as well as finalists and the lifetime achievement honorees.
Doha Tower, first named the Best Tall Building in the Middle East & Africa, was chosen for the overall Best Tall Building Worldwide, only after a heated debate among jury members in the regional category, according to awards chairman Richard Cook, partner in Cook + Fox Architects. Special recognition was made during the awards ceremony to the finalist in the Middle East, Al Hamra Firdous Tower, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
But ultimately the cylindrical tower in Doha with its unique shading system won out as a "project that only makes sense in this particular place," Mr. Cook said.
The building was honored for incorporating elements of traditional regional design with modern technologies to create an environmentally-sensitive icon for Qatar's capital. The eye-catching facade is constructed of multi-layered patterns invoking ancient Islamic screens designed to shade buildings from the sun.
"Doha Tower stands out for its deft and subtle sensitivity to culture, context, and climate," the jury decided. "The design hints at post-modernism, but avoids this pitfall through the interpretive re-use of indigenous elements such as the mashrabiya, which varies in its density across the façade in response to solar orientation. The strength of the proposal is in its unapologetic connection to culture and place, and stands as a successful precedent of cultural iconography."
Doha Tower is the first tall building to use reinforced concrete dia-grid columns internally. There is also no central core, maximizing the interior space available for tenants.
"Doha Tower is an excellent example of an efficient modern tower that is inspired by its local culture and setting," said Antony Wood, executive director of the CTBUH. "In an age of homogenized slick towers globally, Doha Tower is rooted to its place. This is not a non-specific icon which you could drop into any city of the world"
The award was presented by Dutch architect Wiel Arets, the new dean of the IIT College of Architecture.
In addition to naming the Worldwide Winner, Thursday night's ceremony honored the other regional winners--the Absolute Towers in Mississauga, Canada (Americas); 1 Bligh Street, Sydney (Asia & Australia); and Palazzo Lombardia, Milan (Europe).
The Al Bahar Towers in Abu Dhabi won the CTBUH's first Innovation Award for the project's computer-controlled opening-closing sun-screen.
This year the CTBUH Board of Trustees also awarded the Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award to Helmut Jahn, the architect known for his simple and elegant designs.
"This is not an achievement to sit on, it's an achievement to build on," Mr. Jahn told the audience
The Fazlur R. Khan Lifetime Achievement Medal went jointly to Charles Thornton & Richard Tomasetti, founders of Thornton & Tomasetti, the structural engineers who helped design many of the most innovative and advanced tall buildings around the world.
"The integration of architecture and engineering, that's where the future really lies," Mr. Tomasetti during his presentation in the afternoon symposium.
The CTBUH Best Tall Building Awards are an independent review of new projects, judged by a panel of industry experts. Projects are recognized for making an extraordinary contribution to the advancement of tall buildings and the urban environment, and for achieving sustainability at the broadest level.
Winners and finalists are featured in the annual CTBUH Awards Book, which is published in conjunction with a major global publisher and distributed internationally each year.
The Awards dinner also introduced three new CTBUH Fellows—Nicolas Billotti of Turner International, Georges Binder of Buildings and Data; and James Robinson of Hong Kong Land—who were honored for their lifetime commitment to the CTBUH.

Message from Park Manager, Lt. John Ohler
Volunteers are a key resource for the parks of the Upper Eastern Shore. Camp Hosts, Trail workers and program volunteers help us provide the quality experiences we offer to the visiting public. Many of our volunteers return year after year because they enjoy the friendly atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.
Trail Maintenance/Stewardship
Like to get your hands dirty? Want to look back at the end of the day with a feeling of accomplishment? Volunteer to join one of our Trail Maintenance and Repair crews. Clear Trails after storms (or the winter off-season), collect trash and debris, build water bars, repair trails damaged by storms or usage, and otherwise help to keep the land surrounding the Choptank Piers in tip-top shape. A strong back, and the ability to work outside in all weather on potentially rugged terrain, is a must. Familiarity with hand and/or power tools, and/or some experience with trail work, are a bonus but not required. Wear weather-appropriate clothing that can get dirty/muddy and sturdy work or hiking boots; bring water bottle, work gloves, lunch, as well as sunscreen, bug repellent and rain protection as needed. This is an occasional opportunity and days and times will vary – see the park's calendar of events for specifics or call the park office if you would prefer to organize a workday for your group or individually.
Volunteer Rangers
Become a Volunteer Ranger and help protect Maryland's natural resources! The Volunteer Ranger Program is for people ages 18 and above who want to assist the Department's regular work force in state parks with operations, programs and public service. Volunteers are trained and provided with uniforms for their jobs once they have completed 40 hours of volunteer service at a state park. Orientation training helps rangers become acclimated to the state park service. Additional training opportunities, that may include CPR, first aid, search and rescue, and trail stewardship, are offered on a regional basis. As ambassadors of the state parks, Volunteer Rangers serve a vital role to the public. Thousands of visitors to Maryland's state parks look to Volunteer Rangers for guidance and help.
Visitor Surveys
Please help us assess visitor satisfaction with State Parks and the valued economic impact of State Park visitors in Maryland. A survey has been developed to collect data using recognized statistical methods. We need one volunteer to distribute surveys in the park on the dates indicated:
The project goal is to collect completed surveys from visitors enjoying the State Park. As a volunteer, your task will be to request park visitors to take the survey when they return home by either collecting their email address or distributing the survey so that an Internet link to the survey can be sent to them. All volunteers will receive project instructions, talking points to guide your conversations with visitors, record-keeping forms and printed surveys. This is a very important project and the results of this survey will help us make important decisions for years to come.
Pier Cleanup
Help our visitors Leave No Trace by walking the pier to collect used fishing line and debris. Share with fellow anglers how they can help in the effort to keep the waterways clean and their fishery viable.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Ranger Jessica Conley at firstname.lastname@example.com or (410) 820-1668.

Can a 'Global Thermostat' Turn Climate Change Around?
Can a 'Global Thermostat' Turn Climate Change Around?
Global Thermostat sounds too good to be true: It's a startup company that aims to address the threat of climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the air, and then making productive use of it.
The CO2 could be used to help plants grow faster in greenhouses, as a feedstock for algae, for enhanced oil production, as an ingredient in bottling plants, as a natural refrigerant, or as a circulating fluid in a geothermal energy installation.
While Global Thermostat calls itself "a carbon negative solution," its technology is in practice a form of geoengineering. It would appear, however, to be less risky than better-known geoengineering techniques such as solar radiation management or marine cloud whitening.
"We've faced skepticism about the solution because it's so radical," says Graciela Chichilnisky, a co-founder and managing director of Global Thermostat. But, she says, a carbon negative solution to the climate crisis will be needed "to contain rising levels of atmospheric carbon because we procrastinated too long and carbon emissions reductions do not suffice."
There are several reasons to take Global Thermostat seriously. First, it's more than an idea–to test the idea, the company opened a pilot plant in October at SRI International in Menlo Park, CA. SRI is a big research institute, which works for governments, FORTUNE 500 companies and startups.
Second, its founders–Chichilnisky and Peter Eisenberger–have impressive pedigrees. A Columbia University professor, Chichilnisky founded a pair of successful tech companies, helped design the carbon market under the Kyoto Protocol and has advanced degrees including a PhD. in math from MIT and a PhD. in economics from Berkeley. (She's also been involved in a series of lawsuits against Columbia alleging gender bias, but that's another story.) Eisenberger, who founded the Columbia Earth Institute (before Jeffrey Sachs), has been an executive at Bell Laboratories and Exxon, a physics professor at Princeton and vice-provost at Columbia. He has a PhD. in physics from Harvard.
Third, prominent backers and partners lend heft to the venture. A team of Georgia Tech professors, working with SRI and Eisenberger, reported this summer that they will be able to use relatively low-temperature steam heat to separate CO2 from solid materials known as amines–a key second step in the capture and separation process. (Here's a press release from Georgia Tech describing their work.) Summit Power, a well-established developer of power plants, is assisting Global Thermostat's commercialization process, with an eye towards using GT in a "clean coal" project in Texas that has $350 million in backing from the U.S. Department of Energy. Carmagen Engineering is providing consulting service, and Chemicals giant BASF and ceramics firm Corning are lending their technology as well.
Financial backing, meanwhile, comes from Edgar Bronfman Jr., the chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group, who is executive chairman of Global Thermostat. The company is a family affair, it turns out–Edgar's son Benjamin is a strategic advisor, as is Chichilnisky's daughter Natasha and Eisenberger's son Nicholas, a lawyer and entrepreneur who has built a career of his own as a sustainability consultant.
I spoke recently with Peter Eisenberger and Chichilnisky about the company. As best as I can understand it as a non-scientist, their technology uses molecules called amines which pull CO2 out of the air and bind to them; then low-temperature steam heat is used to separate the amines from the CO2. This second step is crucial to the firm's business model, because lots of low-cost or no-cost steam heat is available as a waste product from power plants or industrial processes. This keeps costs down and permits GT's facilities to be located just about anywhere near steam heat, or next to a new power plant, to make that plant carbon neutral or better. Combining a GT facility with a solar thermal power plant, for example, could create a "carbon negative" source of power because the sun's heat would be used create electricity and extract CO2 from the air.
Eisenberger told me:
What we are really doing is closing the carbon cycle. We're taking CO2 that we've used to make energy or chemicals, and taking it back, and making a product.
Chichilnisky, who has worked on a UN climate treaty for years and written a book called Saving Kyoto, say the deadlock in the global climate negotiations won't be broken untill the U.S., China and other nations find ways to decouple economic growth and carbon pollution. That's why a "carbon negative" approach is needed, she says:
The only way we will be able to get China and the US to agree on limits is if they had a way to continue to running their economies without growing carbon emissions. It's the only solution.
Other scientists, including David Keith of the University of Calgary, are working on technologies to capture carbon from ambient air (as opposed to from the smokestacks of power plants). Keith's startup is called Carbon Engineering.
Unlike other forms of geoengineering, direct air capture would not require directly intervening in the earth's biosphere or oceans
"This has, essentially, no side effects, no risks," Eisenberger says. "We simply clean up the CO2 that we put out."
Of course, Global Thermostat has a long way to go before commercialization becomes possible. Cost is, obviously, a big issue. It's not clear how much demand there is for CO2, and how much companies will pay for it.
The business prospects for the company would improve dramatically with a global carbon market because polluting companies would then pay Global Thermostat to offset their emissions. But Eisenberger says:
Our business model explicitly does not depend upon such carbon credits. Rather we have identified markets where our ability to locate near where the CO2 will be used [makes] our technology economic from day one.
We'll see. Given the dearth of practical solutions to the climate crisis, Global Thermostat certainly bears watching.

Modi shares stage with BJP leaders, gets all the spotlight
That BJP workers have accepted a generational shift in the leadership and residues of internal differences were still present in the party was visible at a massive poll rally in Bhopal on Wednesday. Vikas Pathak reports. Burqa-clad women barred from attending rallybhopal Updated: Sep 26, 2013 08:53 IST
That BJP workers have accepted a generational shift in the leadership and residues of internal differences were still present in the party was visible at a massive poll rally in Bhopal on Wednesday.
There was palpable coldness when party patriarch LK Advani and Narendra Modi came together on stage, separated by BJP chief Rajnath Singh. Advani showed no warmth when Modi touched his feet, almost as an afterthought.
The patriarch presented Modi a bouquet, but with an air of detachment.
Advani, whose stature appeared diminished, was the inaugural speaker. Customarily, he spoke at the end of each rally. The buzz in the party was that many feared he might be hooted if he spoke before Modi.
Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who is close to Advani, tried to create a positive atmosphere for him by walking up to the mike to welcome him.
But even this couldn't prevent the inevitable. Advani had to face Modi chants midway in his speech and winded up almost immediately, as if taking the cue.
Though the crowd was admonished for interrupting the senior leader, they drowned the speeches of Rajnath Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi and even Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan with Modi chants.
Still, Swaraj and Chouhan made scant mention of Modi and restricted their speeches to the Madhya Pradesh theme.
Even as Advani praised the Gujarat, MP and Chhattisgarh governments for their track records on governance, he recalled the BJP's rise from just an opposition party to one that attracted many allies, including socialists Jaya Prakash Narayan and Ram Manohar Lohia, two icons of the Janata Dal (United).
But he refrained from explicitly calling for the NDA's expansion, thus steering clear on an issue that isn't seen as Modi's strength.
In sharp contrast to the restrain he displayed at a public meeting in Haryana some days ago, an aggressive Modi made a scathing attack on the Congress, saying the party will field the CBI to fight the assembly polls in five states as it had no guts to fight the BJP.
"Congress isn't fielding candidates in MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi this time. The CBI will fight the next polls," he said, obliquely accusing the Centre of misusing the CBI against political opponents.
He warned the Congress that the country wouldn't forgive it for its Emergency mindset. Accusing the Congress of massive corruption, the BJP prime ministerial candidate said the zeroes in the amount of the loot would cover the distance between Bhopal and Delhi.
"Towards the end of his life, Gandhi ji wanted Congress be disbanded. We have to fulfill his dream by delivering a Congress-free India," he said and got the crowd to say "yes" to Congress-free India.
Accusing the Centre of discrimination against NDA states like MP, he said it held back schemes for housing for the MP poor and power through the Sardar Sarovar dam by not allowing gates to be built.
He added that NDA states had outperformed Congress states, leading to the Centre holding back data for the same.
In an election punch, he added: "Do you want your children to be poor, illiterate and ill? If not you'll have to vote for freedom from this human misery. Surveys say a BJP wind is blowing. But even a 200-kilometer per hour wind can't inflate a bicycle tube. That'll require a pump (from you)."

Congressman Ron Paul Reiterates Danger Of Foreign Troops
Being Used For Martial Law
Prison Planet
November 24, 2005
Republican Congressman Ron Paul recently appeared on nationally syndicated radio and again reiterated his deep concern that foreign troops are mobilizing outside and inside America to be used as assets in a martial law takeover by the Bush administration.
"It's a horrible precedent and it's all part of the NAFTA scheme and globalization and world government," Paul told the Alex Jones Show.
"Obviously they shouldn't be permitted. What I'd like to see is that we don't have our troops in foreign countries and if we needed a national guard that they were back here at home, that's the bigger problem. Then if there were foreign troops on our soil maybe our state officials could deal with that with their own national guard."
Paul elaborated on his fear that after the next crisis the government, in line with their own public statements, will use military assets to police Americans on a regular basis.
"They're putting their back up against the wall and saying, if need be we're going to have martial law."
"We've heard all these statements by the President, by the administration, why they need more militarism at the federal government to keep people in check so nobody knows how this will turn out but I do know that the only thing we can do about it is try to alert the American people to what's going on so they can be prepared."Paul offered his take on why the government seemed to be acting in a deranged and reckless manner on every issue.
"It's almost like they're going overboard that they lose their rationality and that's part of the reason why they usually fail too is they get overly bold and I think our government is overly bold thinking they are invincible and they feel invincible with their finances. Our government controls the reserve currency of the world, they literally have the ability to print gold."
In light of recent shocking rulings that authorize the EPA to conduct tests on orphan and mentally disabled children using pesticides, Paul made comparisons with a proposed universal mental screening program that he previously had helped defeat.
"I really thought that mental health testing and drugging was so evil and horrible, but this I think could even be a little bit worse when they talk about testing these kind of chemicals. But that's just confirmation once again that we as a country have been careless and we've allowed our government to act as parents for the children and, in spite of the shortcomings of some parents, parents do a much much better job."
Talking about children being in government care being five times more likely to be abused and Congressmen voting for those kind of measures, Paul stated,
"The results are so horrible you'd think maybe a little bit of logic would cause them to rethink their position but it doesn't seem to happen."
On the subject of his drive to get the US out of the UN, Paul pointed out the staged good cop, bad cop nature of the US-UN relationship.
"The Bush administration started bashing the UN and threatening the UN with cutting some of the funding but it was all a game they were playing because they literally gave the UN more power in the name of a reform."
"Who do we have at the UN, Bolton, the arch Neo-Con warmonger and actually what they've done is taken the Neo-Con position on intervening on the internal affairs of other nations and regime change and they've institutionalized that in the United Nations, now the UN is in the business of regime change."

Kaneland principal Chip Hickman isn't a fan of the two, five-team divisions format the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference is moving toward, but he understands there was no perfect solution to be had.
For a conference with relatively far-flung geography and a wide gulf in athletic performance – most notably in football – finding an arrangement that satisfies each of the current members, let alone entices potential replacements for departing Dixon and Streator, is quite an undertaking.
The conference announced this week that starting with the 2014-15 school year, Kaneland, Morris, DeKalb, Sycamore and Yorkville will be the only five teams in the NI Big 12's East Division, with Rochelle shifting to the West Division to help compensate for the departures of Dixon and Streator. The Northern Illinois Big 12 is continuing its search for prospective new members, but that's proven to be a slow, difficult process.
In the meantime, by each side losing a divisional opponent, scheduling adjustments will need to be made. Hickman expects that to be especially difficult in football. The Knights' powerhouse football program already has trouble finding two nonconference opponents that want to play, and locating a third that makes sense is a daunting prospect.
Adding an additional intraconference crossover game would have made matters easier on the Knights. The conference currently has five conference games, two crossovers and two nonconference games for football.
"It was a challenge for Kaneland under this model but I respect the decision that was made of the conference and I think we all have to be aware of all the pressures that other schools, other administrators and other head coaches are under to schedule wins, so for a smaller school to be mandated to have crossovers against larger, successful opponents like Kaneland, it does not make the conference appealing for expansion," Hickman said.
Kaneland's two football nonconference foes for the coming fall – Brooks and Immaculate Conception – are not contracted to play the Knights beyond this season. That means Kaneland will need to scramble to find three football nonconference games for the following year, and Hickman joked – or was he joking? – that "We'll be driving to Ohio" in the future.
Hickman said few programs want to risk a likely loss in scheduling Kaneland.
"The consequences [of the new structure] are Kaneland will have difficulty in finding three nonconference opponents," Hickman said. "I don't think we're alone with that. I think Morris is going to have a challenge as well."
Aside from the Northern Illinois Big 12's current membership challenges, Hickman has broader misgivings about the state of high school athletics in Illinois.
Hickman, who worked at Batavia before becoming principal at Kaneland, cited longtime former Batavia football coach Mike Gaspari – who struggled in his early years before turning the Bulldogs into a powerhouse – as an example.
"If Mike Gaspari started his career in today's environment, he would have been done after year 5," Hickman said. "We don't have the patience to allow high schools to build a culture and sustain the ups and downs. It's like a college environment."
Those pressures have contributed to an unstable environment for high school conferences in Illinois that extends well beyond the NI Big 12.
Schools around here have been on the front lines, with Kaneland, Batavia and Geneva switching conferences three years ago, only to see their new conferences already facing membership changes.
"The entire landscape of athletic conferences in northern Illinois is under reconstruction," Hickman said. "It's [volatile] every year and it's unfortunate because it's so consuming for administrators and it detracts from the mission, but it's part of our business now."

Enjoy your savings, you wiley scoundrel.
What's in it for us?
We love you, and we want your business. We don't want you to run off with some other online retailer, so we're, of course, willing to give you the same deal they are. Plus, in the end, our deal will be way better than theirs! We'll match their price while we deliver life-of-product technical support, real customer service, and free shipping.
More Technical Details
To qualify for a Price Match, you must be able to produce a published price from a legitimate online retailer. Hearing about a 'great deal' from your cousin's neighbor's best friend does not count. The retailer in question will also need to have the product in stock and ready to ship. If it's on backorder, that's a mulligan. You get one claim per product, and cannot use the Price Match Policy in conjunction with other coupons, discounts, Labor Day (or other holiday) sales, or Voodoo magic. Typos, mail in rebates, closeout sales, and other non-standard retail transactions don't count either. Also, finding a great deal on Ebay or another auction site doesn't work.
Basically, the competing price must be for the same product, brand new, factory-sealed, style, model, etc etc. We also reserve the right to deny the IWAE Price Match Policy to anyone who we think is trying to get one over on us and/or trade us a wooden nickel.

Women at EPI's Mississippi Plant Had to Quit to Escape Abuse, Federal Agency Charges
OXFORD, Miss. – A St. Louis-based plastic injection molding company violated federal law by subjecting a class of female employees at its Sherman, Miss., plant to a sexually hostile work environment and forcing several of them to quit their jobs, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charges in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, EPI Advanced, LLC and Engineered Products Industries, LLC, allowed Dean Miller, a male supervisor, and other male co-workers, to harass press operator Cathy Johnson and other women at the Sherman plant. The EEOC says the female workers were forced to endure myriad sexually explicit comments and propositions, and many of the victims were grabbed and touched by Miller. Several women quit because of the harassment, and one woman quit her job after Miller phoned her at work threatening to sexually assault her in the employees' parking lot. Although several complaints were made by victims to management, the company failed to properly investigate complaints and stop the misconduct, the EEOC contends.
This alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits harassment based on sex. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 2:09-cv-00110, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi at Oxford) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
The lawsuit asks the court to issue an injunction prohibiting such discrimination in the future, and to order EPI Advanced, LLC and Engineered Products Industries, LLC to pay Johnson (and women as a class) wages lost as a result of the discrimination, interest on the lost pay, compensatory damages for emotional and psychological harm, and any other damages deemed appropriate.
"The environment at EPI was simply intolerable," said EEOC Memphis District Director Katharine W. Kores, whose office has jurisdiction for most of Mississippi. "No one should have to face such unlawful conduct in the workplace. The EEOC will continue to combat such discrimination."
According to company information, EPI Advanced, LLC, wholly owned by Engineered Products Industries, LLC, specializes in plastic injection molding. EPI is a custom plastic injection molding company founded in 1953 with headquarters in St. Louis and divisional operations in Sherman, Miss., and DeQueen, Ark.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The Community Healthy Eating Fair from 3-6 p.m. today at the Monroe Temple of Liberal Judaism, 314 N. Main St. in Monroe, will focus on healthier living and will feature lectures on various aspects of healthy eating.
The Community Healthy Eating Fair from 3-6 p.m. today at the Monroe Temple of Liberal Judaism, 314 N. Main St. in Monroe, will focus on healthier living and will feature lectures on various aspects of healthy eating.
Dr. David Hill, chairman of the event, is a popular and well-established pediatrician who said he "always admonishes his patients to eat healthy and balanced."
Rabbi Garry Loeb, the temple's religious leader, a longtime advocate for eating ethically, said topics will include the meaning of organic, herbs that can optimize health, holistic health, a healthy planet, and eating ethically, deeply rooted values in the Jewish tradition."
"It's all about connections, isn't it?" said the rabbi. "It's the ways in which sunlight and soil provide the nutrients that combine into the plants we eat and the ways in which a farmer in California is connected to the food you put on your table here in Orange County.
"But there is a bigger picture. It's not just what we put into our shopping carts, cook and eat. It's about where our food comes from and how it is grown. It's even who harvests it and under what conditions, and how we raise the animals. It seems to me that eating right while trashing the planet is missing the point."
In attendance will be representatives from Blooming Hills Farms and Rogowski Farms. There will be cooking demonstrations, educational activities for children, and organic products for sale. For information, call 783-2626.
Reservations are due by Wednesday for the Orange County Right to Life 39th annual banquet from 2-6 p.m. Oct. 28 at Kuhl's Highland House in the Town of Wallkill. Tickets are $35 before Oct. 15, and $40 after. The speaker is the Rev. Stephen Imbarrato, a parish priest in New Mexico. His late mother, Betty, was a member of the group; his brother is a practicing physician in Orange County. For information, call Karen Pannella at 344-5606. The Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, 10th District, will have a luncheon and fashion show Wednesday at the Town of Wallkill Golf Club. The social hour (with vendors) begins at 11:30 p.m. To see if there's still room, call Heidi Buchholz at 726-3654. Safe Homes of Orange County will host Clothesline events from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday at the Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center, 147 Lake St. in Newburgh, and Thursday at the Galleria at Crystal Run in the Town of Wallkill. For information, call 562-5365. The 24-hour hotline is 888-503-4673, and don't be afraid to use it.
Volunteers in the Valley Central School District will be at the Montgomery ShopRite from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. today wrapping up their backpack snack attack appeal. They're hoping shoppers will help stuff the bus in front of the store to aid the weekend meal program for children. If unable to attend but wanting to help, call Gina Hillman at 742-0753. Volunteers from the Knights of Columbus in Washingtonville are seeking donations during an appeal at Center Court at the Galleria at Crystal Run from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. today. Funds will help repair the damage to their building from Hurricane Irene. For information, call Kevin Strommer, grand knight, at 774-6575.

Carroll Spinney portrays two of the most recognizable characters on television, yet his face might not be a familiar one. He spends most of his time either in a yellow, feathered suit, or hidden behind a trash can. For over 40 years now, Spinney has performed both "Big Bird" and "Oscar the Grouch" on the beloved children's show, Sesame Street. Surprised that "Big Bird" and "Oscar" are played by the same person? According to Spinney, "that's the fun of the job, doing them both. It's refreshing to get to be 'Oscar' after being so sweet all day."
Spinney's interest in puppetry began at age eight, when he started making his own puppets at the urging of his mother. He attended art school, soon had his own show, Rascal Rabbit, and in 1962 met a young man named Jim Henson, who at the time was beginning to enjoy his own success in the field of puppetry. Henson asked Spinney to come work for him in New York, but it wasn't until 1969 that Spinney took him up on the offer. The show Spinney traveled to New York to work on: Sesame Street.
Below Spinney shares the genesis of his two characters:
Carroll Spinney on the first version of "Big Bird":
And on the earliest incarnation of "Oscar the Grouch":
Watch Carroll Spinney's full interview here:
About this interview:
In his three hour Archive interview, Carroll Spinney discusses his early interest in drawing and puppetry. He describes his first work in television puppetry, with his "Rascal Rabbit" puppet, outlines his time on Boston's Bozo's Circus, and recalls the first time he met Jim Henson. Spinney then details joining the cast of Sesame Street and explains the intricacies of performing "Big Bird" and "Oscar the Grouch." He describes the two characters, what he's added to their personalities over the years, and why he loves getting to play them both. Spinney speaks of his castmates on Sesame Street, how the death of Will Lee ("Mr. Hooper") affected the show, and what it was like to shoot the memorable, "Farewell, Mr. Hooper" episode of Sesame Street. Spinney also illustrates the educational nature of the children's program and offers advice to aspiring puppeteers. Michael Rosen conducted the interview on May 12, 2001 in Woodstock, CT.

Its streets deserted, an uneasy Boston perseveres
BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox and the Bruins both scrapped their games. The famous Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall was closed, and there were more pigeons than tourists on City Hall Plaza. Even the Starbucks at Government Center was shuttered.
The killing of one suspected Boston Marathon bomber and the manhunt for another brought life in large swaths of the notoriously gridlocked Beantown to a screeching halt for most of the day, leaving residents and tourists alike frustrated and angry.
"It took me an hour and a half to find a coffee this morning," Daniel Miller, a financier from New York, said as he wandered the desolate plaza beside a statue of patriot Samuel Adams. "I was joking with a person that I guess the strategy is we'll make this person not be able to get a coffee in the morning, and maybe they'll give up."
For Steve Parlin, who is staying at a veteran's shelter on Court Street, in the shadow of City Hall, the scene was nothing to joke about.
"Helicopters are flying over," the Gulf War-era Coast Guard veteran said as he strolled across the plaza, a bottle of water in his hand. "Everything's closed. It's creepy. Machine guns. Creepy."
Gov. Deval Patrick, Mayor Thomas Menino and Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis ordered all people in the city of Boston to shelter in place. Several area colleges and universities were locked down. Commuter rail, bus and subway service were suspended, and thousands of workers were told to stay home. The restrictions were lifted about an hour before sunset.
Even before that, the owners of the Lower Depths tap room in the heart of the Boston University area tweeted that they were opening for dinner.
"The owner felt like time had passed and still nothing. No news, no anything," general manager Jenna Figueiredo said. "So why should we just continue to stay hidden from somebody who's out to harm us? Why not just open up to the public and let people live their normal lives and not let a threat like this disturb our everyday lives, you know?"
For Kathy Hall and her daughter, Danielle, who spent 24 hours together in Danielle's one-room apartment, the reprieve couldn't have come soon enough.
"We're very happy," the mother said between bites of a fish wrap and sips of beer. "She only had mac and cheese, right? So that's all we had all day pretty much."
The potential impact on businesses and the local economy was not immediately clear. Jon Hurst, President of the Massachusetts Retailers Association, said he had no estimate yet.
"Certainly it is in the tens of millions for retail and restaurants, and in hundreds of millions in lost productivity when adding in offices, etc.," he wrote in an email to the AP.
Filming for director David O. Russell's movie "American Hustle" was halted because of the manhunt and lockdown. The mayhem also interrupted Dallas couple Tom and Vy Nguyen's fifth wedding anniversary trip to the city.
The couple was hoping to visit the Museum of Fine Art, Fenway Park and several other landmarks. Instead, they were having a hard time just finding a restaurant that was open.
"I just want to eat," Tom Nguyen, 32, a health-care company analyst, said as they passed the normally raucous Big Apple Circle big top at Government Center. "I've never seen a city shut down like this for one person. . This is very bizarre for us."
One place that did not shut down was the Union Oyster House, which bills itself as "America's oldest restaurant." But it was definitely easier to find a table than during your typical lunchtime.
Several people hunched over seafood and beers around the semicircular bar, and only a few tables upstairs were occupied. Manager Troy Thissell said that didn't matter.
"The city of Boston said do the best you can do. Our choice. So we chose to open," said Thissell, who was sporting a "Boston Strong" button on his shirt. "We've always in the past. During blizzards and other things, we do open. And we're going to continue to do so.
For people accustomed to the bustle of this "big small town," the quiet was unsettling.
"We just went to get a cup of coffee, and there's no line at Dunkin' Donuts," said electrician Joe Gore, who was sipping his java on a picnic table near Rowes Wharf, where he was helping wire a new Starbucks. "So it's pretty scary quiet."
Many people seemed to understand the drastic measures. But others considered it ridiculous.
Miller recently moved to New York after spending the past five years in Israel. As the 29-year-old in the black yarmulke strolled through the city's Holocaust memorial, he couldn't help feeling that officials here were overreacting.
"You know, when Israel gets one rocket attack, let's say it injures three people," he said. "It's terrible. This event, thank God it only killed three people. And it injured a lot of people. If a rocket attack injures five people, 10 people in Israel and kills one person, we think, 'Oh, thank God it only killed one person. it didn't kill 50 people.'"
Miller understands that this kind of event is still relatively rare in the United States, and unheard of in Boston. But he said this is the kind of mayhem terrorists want, and Boston is giving it to them.
"Hopefully, Americans will realize what Israelis have to go through and have more solidarity for them and understand when they fight back and retaliate," he said. "Because that's exactly what Boston's doing today. They're going and doing everything possible in order to get this one person. The city has come to a halt in order to get this one person."
Scott Lapworth drove in from Thompson, Ct., to do a wallpapering job near the waterfront Friday morning and noticed that the commute was not nearly as hairy as usual.
"I don't think I've ever seen it so deserted down here," he said as he chewed a ham and cheese sandwich on the steps beside Faneuil Hall.
"It's unfortunate that these type of people are around, but it's not going to keep me from coming to work or going to places to eat in public or stuff," he said, munching on chips. "I'm not going to let them change MY lifestyle."
Jesse Bonelli, a video game artist who lives in locked-down Watertown, stayed inside his house and sharpened a machete — just in case.
"It's something I usually keep hanging on the wall, but it's the only weapon I have," said Bonelli, 23. "I want to be ready in case anyone bursts into the house. After everything that happened this week, I keep wondering what's next."

You're so vain. You probably think this column is about you.
Carly Simon may be down on vanity, but I'm cool with it, so long as you don't go off the deep end. (I'm talking to you, Heidi Montag.) The desire to look good can be a powerful motivator for achieving health and fitness.
"People are hard-wired to strive to look better because it brings benefits throughout life, be it in mate selection, employment opportunities, salary or life in general," I was told by Gordon Patzer, a professor of business administration at Roosevelt University in Chicago and the author of six books on the physical attractiveness phenomenon.

Columbia Law School's Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic, founded in the fall of 2006, is the first law school clinic anywhere in the U.S. directed by a full-time law school faculty member and dedicated to legal and public policy issues related to gender and sexuality.
In the Issues section of this website, you will find resources for the general public, as well as for lawyers and law students, on a wide array of gender and sexuality issues.
These resources, and more, are all produced by Columbia Law Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic students who spend a semester or more in the clinic's intensive learning and working environment. Here, they hone lawyering and advocacy skills while working directly on cutting-edge sexuality and gender law issues and providing vital assistance to lawyers and organizations throughout the country and the world that advocate for the equality and safety of women and lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals.
The clinic emphasizes multidimensional lawyering, which is the practice of being strategic, smart, and creative in identifying and deploying resources to advocate for social change. Our projects encompass all forms of advocacy. This includes:
"It's rare for a law student to be able to ask a state's high court to adopt a different method of constitutional interpretation. That's what we did in submitting our amicus brief to the Iowa Supreme Court in the case of Varnum v. Brien. The experience has been invaluable and has reminded me that I chose to become a lawyer so that I could help to provide all individuals with equal access to the law."
– Keren Zwick '09
Suzanne B. Goldberg is a leading national expert in sexuality and gender law. Goldberg is Clinical Law Professor and Director of the Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic at Columbia Law School, where she also teaches civil procedure and seminars in lawyering and social change.
