The purpose of this site is to show visitors to (and residents of) Atlanta how to reach Jewish destinations without a
car. This page was updated in early October 2002.
Metropolitan Atlanta is far more auto-dominated and auto-dependent than most northern metro areas. Nevertheless, Atlanta
has several public transportation systems: the largest are Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and Cobb Community
Transit (CCT). (Clayton County and Gwinnett County recently created tiny bus systems; however, neither system's routes serve
synagogues or other Jewish destinations). MARTA serves Fulton and DeKalb County (the area's two most urbanized counties),
while CCT serves Cobb County. Both systems serve numerous synagogues and other Jewish destinations. MARTA has a bus system
and two train lines serving a variety of destinations in Fulton and DeKalb Counties.
Most readers of this web page will probably be more interested in synagogue locations than anything else. I have listed
synagogues by their ideological leanings. I have also rated synagogues' transit accessibility (with special attention to Friday
nights and Saturdays) as follows: 4 stars- within a few blocks of a rail stop, or on the 23 (Peachtree) bus (Atlanta's
best bus route, because it runs every 10-20 min. even during nights and weekends if traffic permits) 3 stars- Late night
bus service but a rider may have to wait 30-60 min. between stops 2 stars- somewhat more limited night service, or a long
walk to a bus stop, or just too far away from Atlanta's urban core for people who don't live in the neighborhood. 1 star-
very limited bus service or located in an very pedestrian-unfriendly environment. In addition, I rate synagogues by
size: Huge, Large, Medium, Small. This is because some of you probably like intimacy, while others fear it. (I haven't
bothered to rate other destinations because most non-synagogue destinations are open only during weekdays when transit service
everywhere is relatively good). Orthodox LaVista Road synagogues (3 stars): Beth Jacob (1855 LaVista/Large),
Young Israel of Toco Hills (2074 LaVista/Small) and the Sephardic Ner Hamizrach (1858 LaVista/Small). (A tiny Iranian-oriented
mini-shul, Netzach Israel, meets at 1528 Sheffield just north of LaVista). Beth Jacob is the largest of these shuls. These
shuls are served primarily by the 30 bus that starts at the Lindbergh MARTA rail station (hereinafter "MARTA station") and
runs up and down LaVista Rd. In addition, the 6, 33 and 48 buses serve the corner of Briarcliff and LaVista a few blocks to
the west. The 33 bus does not operate on Sundays, and the 48 bus does not serve this area on Sundays. LaVista has sidewalks
between Briarcliff and North Druid Hills, but not west of Briarcliff. (P.S. If you go to Ner Hamizrach, bring your own
yarmulke; they aren't big enough to have a supply. This may be true of the Iranian shul as well--I haven't been there but
I suspect it is even smaller). Anshei Chesed (5280 High Point Road in Sandy Springs/Small)-This new shul is an offshoot
of Beth Tefillah (below) and, like Beth Tefillah, is served by the 41 bus, and to a lesser extent by the 5 bus. Unlike Beth
Tefillah, this mini-shul is not (despite its High Point address) directly on High Point. Instead, go to High Point and Greenland
(a block south of Northland), and walk about 10 or 20 feet on Greenland to the house at 5280. Also, be aware that this shul
is too small for complimentary yarmulkes, tallit, etc. so bring your own. Anshi Sfard (1324 N. Highland/Small)(3 stars)-
on the 16 route running from downtown Atlanta to the Virginia-Highlands area. Beth Tefillah (5065 High Point Road
in Sandy Springs/Medium) (1 star)- during weekdays, not all that inaccessible: this shul is on the 41 route that runs between
the Brookhaven and Medical Center MARTA stations during the week. But on Saturdays, the 41 does NOT serve this area. Instead,
you have to walk about 3/4 mile on Forest Hills (a street with no sidewalks) from Roswell (served by the 5 bus) to High Point.
This shul uses Hasidic liturgy which differs slightly from the garden-variety Orthodox liturgy. Chabad Intown (928
Ponce de Leon/Small) (3 stars)- on the 2 bus route running north from the North Ave. MARTA station. Congregation Ariel
(5237 Tilly Mill Rd. in Dunwoody/Small) (2 stars)- on the 132 route running north from the Chamblee MARTA station on weekdays,
and on the 135 route (also running north from Chamblee) on Saturdays. No real Sunday service to speak of, unless you want
to walk a couple of miles from Peachtree Industrial (served by the 25 bus). Traditional B'nai Torah (700 Mt.
Vernon Hwy. in Sandy Springs/Medium) (2 stars)- A 20 minute walk (2/3 mile or so) west of the new Sandy Springs MARTA station.
Most of Mt. Vernon (but not all) has sidewalks (the part that doesn't has a walkable grass path). Unfortunately, no bus
is significantly closer than the Sandy Springs station. The 5 and 87 buses (running down Hammond to Barfield) are a similar
distance from B'Nai Torah. Or VeShalom (1681 North Druid Hills/Medium) (3 stars)- a 20 minute walk on N. Druid Hills
from the Brookhaven MARTA station. Or VeShalom is a couple of blocks north of the corner of N. Druid Hills and Roxboro (served
by the 48 route that serves the Lenox and Inman Park rail stops on every day but Sunday) and is also on the weekday-only 8
bus route. Unlike most Atlanta synagogues, Or VeShalom adopts Sephardic liturgy. However, the differences between Sephardic
and Ashkenazic liturgy are pretty minor to the untrained eye. (Ashkenazic Jews are of Central and East European origin, while
Sephardic Jews are of Mediterranean origin).
Shaarei Shamayim (1810 Briarcliff Rd./Small) (3 stars) - This new Traditional
synagogue is on the 6, 16 and 48 routes. (The latter route does not serve this area on Sunday).Conservative Ahavath
Achim (600 Peachtree Battle at the corner of Northside and Peachtree Battle/Very Large) (2 stars)- on the weekday-only 44
bus route (running from the Lindbergh MARTA station). Also half a mile east of the corner of Peachtree Battle and Howell Mill
(served by the 12 route; there are no sidewalks on this side of Peachtree Battle but there is a walkable grass path) and a
mile west of the corner of Peacthree Battle and Peachtree (served by the 23 route that runs between the Lenox and Arts Center
MARTA stations; there are sidewalks on the south side of Peachtree Battle in this area, as well as a grass median in the middle
of Peachtree Battle). Beth Shalom (5303 Winters Chapel Road in Dunwoody/Medium) (1 star)- You can take the bus here
with only moderate difficulty, but taking it back is not so easy. Here's why: the 25 bus goes from the Chamblee rail station
to the corner of Winters Chapel and Peeler, only 1/2 mile from the synagogue (although part of the route lacks sidewalks).
But the 25 bus does not (except before noon) stop at the same intersection when it heads southbound towards Chamblee. Instead,
it starts to run at the corner of Tilly Mill and Peachtree Industrial, over a mile away. So as a practical matter this shul
is only transit-accessible for a morning minyan, unless you are a real athlete. Etz Chaim (1190 Indian Hills Pkwy.
in east Cobb/Large) (1 star)- On Roswell Rd., served by the 60 and 65 CCT buses. These buses stop running at around 8 PM on
Fridays, but run regularly on Saturday morning. Both buses begin at the Marietta transfer center near downtown Marietta and
go eastward from there, terminating at the eastern fringe of Cobb County. North Fulton Jewish Center (4320 Kimball
Bridge Road in Alpharetta/Small) (1 star)- Just off North Point Parkway, served by 140 bus running from North Springs station.
Shearith Israel (1180 University Drive/Medium) (3 stars)- on the 45 route that
runs from North Avenue into Morningside (though not on Sundays), and also a few blocks from Highland (on the 16 route) and
E. Rock Springs (on the 36 route). (Shearith Israel's web site still describes Shearith Israel as Traditional, but it will
soon affiliate with the Conservative movement).Reconstructionist Bet Haverim (701 W. Howard Ave. in Decatur/Small)
(4 stars)- This congregation, which bills itself as "A Reconstructionist Synagogue Founded For Lesbians and Gay Men, Embracing
All Jews and Loved Ones", is a few blocks east of the East Lake MARTA station and is also on the 123 bus route (running from
the Decatur MARTA station to the Candler Park station). Lev Shalem (Small)(1 star due to dangerous pedestrian environment)-Meets
once a month at a Congregationalist church at 2676 Clairmont on the 19 route (running from Brookhaven to Decatur). Also near
the corner of Clairmont and Briarcliff, served by the 33 bus as well as the 19. (The 33 has no Sunday service, though this
fact is less of a problem for Lev Shalem than for traditional or larger congregations). Although the church is somewhat transit
accessible, to reach it from Clairmont one would have to walk up a long, wooded driveway with no sidewalk or grass path to
walk on --so pedestrians have to share the driveway with cars speeding to the church. Reform
Bnai Dorot (4025 Windward Plaza, Alpharetta) (1 stars)- About a 25-minute walk
from the Windward Park and Ride lot in Alpharetta, served by the 85, 140 and 143 buses. The congregation meets in the Hilton
Garden Inn, just off Windward Parkway -- so from the park and ride, walk to North Point, then walk a few yards north to the
corner of North Point and Windward, then start walking east on Windward Parkway until you reach Windward Plaza and the hotel.
Windward has sidewalks on one side of the street, though the absence of any evidence of humanity other than huge office parks
makes this an unpleasant walk in my view.
Kehillat Chaim (1145 Green Street in Roswell/Medium) and Temple Beth Tikvah
(9955 Coleman Road in Roswell/Small) (2 stars)- both a few blocks west of Alpharetta St./South Atlanta Rd. in downtown Roswell
(the street begins as South Atlanta and becomes Alpharetta St.), served by the 85 bus that runs north from the North Springs
MARTA station to Alpharetta (the suburb, not the street). To reach either synagogue, get off the 85 at the corner
of Canton and Alpharetta. To reach Kehillat Chaim, walk a few blocks up Canton to Green St. then go right on Green. To reach
Beth Tikvah, go a block or so to Magnolia, then turn on Magnolia, and walk a few blocks west till you reach Coleman. Kol
Emeth (1415 Old Canton Road in east Cobb/Large) (1 star)- a block or two north of Roswell, served by the 60 and 65 CCT routes
(which, as noted above, stop running at around 8 PM). The Temple (1589 Peachtree/Very Large) (4 stars)- one of the
area's most transit accessible synagogues--on the 23 bus route (which runs between the Arts Center and Lenox train stops every
20 minutes or less even on weekends, and every 5-12 minutes during the week) and half a mile from the Arts Center rail stop.
Unaffiliated Shema Yisrael (4549 Chamblee-Dunwoody in Jewish Family & Career Services/Small) (2 stars).
This mini-congregation has both Reform and Conservative services, depending on the time of day. During the week, Shema Yisrael is
served by the 129 bus running between the Chamblee and North Springs MARTA stations. On Saturdays, take the 135 bus to Shallowford
& Peeler, walk a short block on Peeler to Chamblee-Dunwoody, then walk on Chamblee-Dunwoody about 1/4 mile. On Sundays,
no real service.
I also note that one Humanistic congregation, Kol Chaim, meets in people's homes
(usually in Northeast DeKalb County not far from the LaVista synagogues listed above), call Dave Savage at (404) 634-8686
for information.
Kosher groceries are available at numerous grocery stores in metro Atlanta.
However, the most ample selections of kosher groceries are at Quality Kosher (at the corner of Briarcliff and LaVista, served
by the 6, 30, 33 and 48 buses) and the Kroger at the corner of North Druid Hills and LaVista (served by the 8 and 30 buses).
Outside the Toco Hills area, grocery stores in Morningside, Sandy Springs and (to a lesser extent) Buckhead tend to have more
kosher supplies than other stores. DAY SCHOOLS Alfred & Adele Davis Academy (8105 Roberts Drive in
Dunwoody) (Reform)- A couple of blocks north of the corner of Roberts and Spalding, served on weekdays (though not on weekends)
by the 150 bus that runs north from the Dunwoody MARTA stop. Greenfield Hebrew Academy (5200 Northland Drive in Sandy
Springs) (Unaffiliated)- just off High Point, served on weekdays by the 41 bus that runs between the Brookhaven and Medical
Center MARTA stations. Probably the most transit-accessible of the larger Jewish day schools. New Atlanta Jewish Community
High School (2012 Womack Rd. in Dunwoody) (Unaffiliated)- Just off Tilly Mill Rd., served by the 132 bus running north from
the Chamblee rail stop. (The same area is served by the 135 bus on nights and Saturdays). Temima High School for Girls
(1935 LaVista Road) (Orthodox)-Served by the 30 bus. Torah Day School of Atlanta (1959 LaVista Road) (Orthodox)- ditto.
Yeshiva Atlanta (3130 Raymond Drive in Doraville) (Orthodox)- about half a mile from the corner of Shallowford (served
by the 33 bus) and Chamblee Tucker (served by the 125 and 130 buses). Again, bring a map if you are going here for the first
time. COMMUNITY SERVICES
American Jewish Committee, Atlanta office (6 Piedmont Center)- On the 5 bus running
north from Lindbergh Center. Atlanta Jewish Times (6065 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, Suite 700)- On Roswell Road,
served by the 5 bus running north between the Lindbergh and Dunwoody MARTA stations. Also a block north of Hammond, served
by the 148 east-west bus. Jewish Community Centers- The region's main JCC, at 5342 Tilly Mill Road in Dunwoody, is
on the 132 bus route during weekdays, and on the 135 bus route on nights and Saturdays. Both buses run north from the Chamblee
MARTA station. Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta and William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum (both on 1440 Spring
St.)- on 18th and Spring, just two blocks north and one block west of the Arts Center MARTA station. Jewish Family
and Career Services (4549 Chamblee-Dunwoody)- served by the 129 bus running between the Chamblee and North Springs MARTA stations.
Louis Kahn Group Home (1358 Markan Drive)- off University near Shearith Israel, served by the 45 bus. Also off E.
Rock Springs, served by the 36 bus. William Breman Jewish Home (3150 Howell Mill) and Jewish Tower (3160 Howell Mill)-
served by the 12 bus running from the Midtown rail stop to the city of Atlanta's outer edges. PLACES WITHOUT TRANSIT
ACCESS: Synagogues that are more than a mile from the nearest bus stop, at least during basic Shabbat service hours- Temple
Sinai (5645 Dupree Drive, Sandy Springs, Reform)- About 1/3 mile from Powers Ferry (served by 148 bus) but unfortunately the
148 does not run on nights and weekends. The closest full service bus, the 5, serves Roswell Rd. about 3 miles away. Beth
David (1885 McGee Rd. in Snellville, Reform) and Shir Shalom (3258 Duluth Hwy. in Duluth, Reform)- located in Gwinnett County,
which has no intracounty transit service as of 2001. Chabad of Alpharetta (5115 Abbots Bridge, Alpharetta, Orthodox)-
About 4 miles east of North Point Pkwy. and Kimball Bridge, served by the 140 bus. Bais Chayenu (4450 Lower Roswell
Rd., East Cobb, Orthodox)- mile or so from Johnson Ferry and Lower Roswell, served by the 60 CCT bus. But the 60 only runs
during rush hour. To get to Bais Chayenu later, you would have to take the 65 CCT bus to Johnson Ferry and Roswell, then walk
a couple of miles south on Johnson Ferry to Lower Roswell, then walk half a mile west on Lower Roswell. . Bnai Israel
(Ga. 54 and Corinth Road, Fayetteville/Small)- Located in Fayette County, which as of 2002 has no public transit service.
Emanu-El (1580 Spalding Drive in Dunwoody/Large) (1 star)- About half a mile
east of the corner of Roberts and Spalding, served by the 150 bus that runs north from the Dunwoody MARTA station. Low rating
because no sidewalks on Spalding, and homeowners' shrubs sometimes make it hard to walk on grass. More importantly, the 150
only stops this far north on weekdays during the daytime; at nights (starting around 6 PM) and weekends it goes to Dunwoody
Village Pkwy. about a mile further south. Nefesh Yehudi (3341 Berkshire Bend, Conyers)- in Rockdale County, which
has no transit service.
Bnai Dorot (4025 Windward Plaza, Alpharetta) (1 stars)- About a 25-minute walk
from the Windward Park and Ride lot in Alpharetta, served by the 85, 140 and 143 buses. The congregation meets in the Hilton
Garden Inn, just off Windward Parkway -- so from the park and ride, walk to North Point, then walk a few yards north to the
corner of North Point and Windward, then start walking east on Windward Parkway until you reach Windward Plaza and the hotel.
Windward has sidewalks on one side of the street, though the absence of any evidence of humanity other than huge office parks
makes this an unpleasant walk in my view.
Here I might add a Guestbook Web Gem so I can keep track visitors to this site.

New Delhi: Laser science and Technology Centre (LASTEC) has its beginning as the experimental wing of DSO (Defence Science Organisation) started under Prof. DS Kothari, first Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri in January 1950. It was called the Defence Science Laboratory (DSL).
After a decade in 1960 on 9th April, Mr. Krishna Menon, the then Defence Minister, inaugurated the Defence Exhibition at the Metcalfe House. Thus, DSL, moved to its present campus of Metcalfe House. Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru visited DSL on 13th April 1960 and addressed the Defence scientists and academicians.
After reaching Metcalfe House, DSL exploded with expansion giving birth to as many as 15 labs of DRDO which included DRDL, SSPL, INMAS, FRL, ISSA, DESIDOC, DIFR, SAG and ITM etc. DRDO formally came into being on 1st January 1958.
DSL, which was working in many areas of Defence interest, now started concentrating in the area of Pure Sciences such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The chemistry division developed G-fuel and UDMH for rocket and missile. The Mathematics division continued its support to the missile Programme with simulation and calculations, while the Physics division took the lead by launching many activities.
In 1981 DSL got its new Technical Building, its New charter of duties to work in the area of Lasers and its new name as Defence Science Centre (DScC), which continued till 1999. subsequently, the present name of Laser Science and Technology Centre was notified.
With the start of DScC in 1981, intensive work commenced on solid State Lasers, CO2 Lasers, ALARM, LRF, Fibre Optic Gyroscope, Ring Laser Gyroscope, Laser Intruder Alarm system etc.
In the late eighties, DScC took up challenging work on Gas dynamic Laser, which was successfully developed indigenously. It was operated for the first time in India with output power of 10 KW in 1996. Later in 1997, DScC took yet another challenging work of Chemical Oxygen Iodine Lasers (COIL) and some work on Electro-Optic Counter Measure (EOCM). Chemistry division of DScC started working on laser Materials including Laser Crystals and Laser Glasses.
During the last three years LASTEC has been engaged in developing GDL, COIL, LIDAR, eye Safe Laser, latest Laser Crystals Nd:YVO4, Nd:GGG etc and Er: and Nd:Doped Phosphate Glasses, along with EOCM Gadgets like Laser threat Warner, Laser Dazzlers, PRF Decoders.
Last year LASTEC took R&D work in the area of Heat Capacity Solid State Laser (HCSSL), Fibre laser and Liquid Oxygen Laser and recently achieved outstanding success by making a HCSSL laser of 52j for the first time in India.
This passing year LASTEC has also achieved another milestone by developing Laser Seeker Test set up, LGB tester, IR tester for Missile, in addition to 5kg GD, on trailer. The vehicle mounted laser demonstrated its capability outside the lab as well. This year, for the first time in India, LASTEC also developed a full Nd:YVO4 laser by growing its Crystal, processing it cutting, polishing, thin film coating and finally shaping it into a laser. LASTEC is also on verge of developing new COIL.
LASTEC is fast emerging the pioneer centre of laser activities in India.

CLEEMANN's upcoming appearance at a private event at Strobe Recording Studio is featured in Chicago Innerview Magazine.
The event is a private recording event, and a rare chance to catch this artist in a live, intimate setting. Please RSVP to cau.. Read Article Here.
There were many exciting moments at the Mayne Stage Show on February 12, where CAUDog Records presented album releases for Liz Chidester and CLEEMANN. Here's some highlights:
Opener Daniel Connolly wowed the room with his renditions of original tunes that carry the flame of a Neil Young vibe, yet are all his own. The room fell silent with listening ears as he and vocalist Melanie Budd shared their talents. We look forward to hearing more from both of these artists.
Liz Chidester performed wonderfully, along with violinist Kristina Priceman and Percussionist Meg Thomas. Her songs from People Pumping Pedals soared in the acoustic space of Mayne Stage and every note solidified her standing as one of the best new talents in Chicago.
CLEEMANN knocked us out with his genius pop music. We are very excited to be able to showcase a musician of remarkable talent on an international stage!
A good time was had by all, including a special thanks to Jen Reilly and Ed Bluma, as well as the band Scotch Hollow for performing in Act One Pub!

Those are some really really nice matte paintings. I especially like how you often give the skies a very colorful appearance. The reds, blues and grays lead to some very nice scenes.
Keep up the nice work.

General Mills performs like a growth stock
Core brand sales grew since 2011 and performance continues to ramp up.
By Tim Parker
General Mills (GIS) reported better-than-expected third quarter earnings Wednesday.
Sales of its core brands, such as Cheerios, Progresso soups and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, rose for the first time since 2011, according to Reuters.
Further, GIS shares are up 19% this year. Much of that, says Edward Jones analyst Jack Russo, is in response to the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) and 3G Capital, H.J. Heinz (HNZ) deal, which has boosted share values for many food companies.
Russo says General Mills has been performing better in cereal and yogurt, businesses that have been challenged in recent years due, in part, to increased commodity costs.
"It looks like they're reinvesting back into the business," Russo said. As a result, the company says sales by volume rose 1% for the first time in two years. This despite the fact that the company raised prices on many of its products.
Although General Mills clearly sees the consumer environment improving, there will be challenges going forward.
Higher taxes and commodity costs have caused the company to raise its full-year outlook by only a penny per share. In addition, it said fourth quarter earnings would be lower than a year ago.
The packaged food industry has suffered in the U.S., mostly due to economic uncertainty. GIS has faced unique additional challenges, including pressure on its Yoplait yogurt by emerging Greek brands. The cereal division has also faced increased competition from competitors.
Sales for both segments were down in the third quarter, but General Mills indicated that trends were improving. The company says it expects high single-digit earnings growth over the long term.
Meanwhile, The Street's Jim Cramer picked GIS as one of his Top Stock Picks, saying that the cereal giant has what it takes and has been delivering for its shareholders year after year.
Jefferies continued to maintain a "hold" on GIS, but has raised its price target to $44. BMO Capital maintained its "outperform," and raised the price target to $50. Deutsche Bank maintained a "buy" rating and set a new price target of $53. Stifel Nicolaus reiterated a "buy" rating and raised the price target to $51.
General Mills shares, which closed Wednesday at $47.61, traded 1.4% higher by late morning to $48.28.

ASCOT, England (Reuters) - Specialist police with nuclear and chemical training gave the all clear at the British home of former Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky on Sunday, a day after the fervent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin died in unclear circumstances.
Once known as the "godfather of the Kremlin", the former billionaire powerbroker helped Putin rise to the top before falling out of favor himself and fleeing to Britain in 2000.
Police said the 67-year-old's death was "unexplained" and sent radioactive, biological and chemical experts to do tests as they tried to piece together Berezovsky's final hours.
Berezovsky had survived assassination attempts, including a bombing that decapitated his driver, and said he feared for his life after he became one of Putin's fiercest critics, repeatedly calling for him to be forced from office.
He was also a friend of Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian spy who was poisoned with radioactive material in London in 2006, a murder that strained diplomatic ties between Britain and Russia.
However, friends said the man who personified the ruthless post-Soviet era of massive wealth and political scheming was depressed, had lost his fortune and may have committed suicide.
Others suspected he could have had a heart attack after the stress of losing a $6 billion court case to Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich. British newspaper reports said his security guard found the body in the bath.
Police stood guard outside Berezovsky's mansion, an imposing French-style property with a swimming pool and lake in Ascot, a few miles from Queen Elizabeth's Windsor Castle, 25 miles west of London. Inside, detectives were carrying out a thorough search of the house.
"The CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) officers found nothing of concern in the property and we are now progressing the investigation as normal," Superintendent Simon Bowden, of Thames Valley Police, said in a statement.
In what is thought to have been his last media interview, given in London on Friday, Berezovsky, said he was sorry he had left Russia to live in self-imposed exile in Britain and was struggling to see the "point of life".
"I do not know what to do. I am 67 years old. And I do not know what to do next," he was quoted as saying in the Russian edition of Forbes magazine. "I've lost meaning. The point in life."
Putin's spokesman said Berezovsky, seen by Moscow as a criminal who should stand trial for fraud and tax evasion, had written to the president asking for forgiveness - a suggestion dismissed by one of the oligarch's friends.
"Berezovsky sent Vladimir Putin a letter he wrote personally, in which he acknowledged that he had made many mistakes, asked Putin's forgiveness for these mistakes and appealed to Putin to help him return to his homeland," said Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
A friend of Berezovsky's in London, Andrei Sidelnikov, told Reuters the idea that he wrote a letter to Putin was "complete nonsense".
"He was a sane person and he understood that he would never be able to return under Putin's regime, for political reasons," Sidelnikov said.
A former mathematician who made millions selling luxury cars in Russia, Berezovsky became part of the inner circle of former president Boris Yeltsin and helped forge Putin's career.
The pair fell out soon after Putin's election in 2000 and Berezovsky left for Britain where he denounced his former ally as a corrupt "bandit" surrounded by former KGB agents.
Berezovsky was humiliated in 2012 when he lost a legal battle with former partner Abramovich, over shares in Russia's fourth biggest oil company.
Some associates said he had struggled with the cost of losing to Abramovich, estimated at the time as more than $100 million. Berezovsky had kept a low profile since the defeat and was rarely seen in public.
"He had no money, he had lost it all. He was unbelievably depressed," Tim Bell, a public relations executive who was one of his closest British advisers, told the Sunday Times newspaper. "It's all very sad."

Though it may feel like the Fourth of July was just last week, September is indeed here — and with it comes a look at poverty.
The Powell City Council designated September "Hunger Awareness Month," highlighting the fact that about 51,000 Wyoming residents struggle to provide proper nutrition.
In the past two years, Wyoming's leaders have assuaged food costs statewide by eliminating taxes on groceries — making it easier for everyone to put dinner on the table.
Mayor Scott Mangold encouraged people to use money saved from the food tax repeal to replenish local food banks' shelves.
As a community, it is necessary to continue recognizing hunger as a local concern, but this month also provides a chance to spotlight global hunger.
In a country where excess helps fuel obesity, it is easy to neglect real hunger issues globally.
For millions around the world, a single daily meal is a struggle. The images of starving children abroad often fail to stir a desensitized American society.
The need for assistance locally and globally is not new, nor is the plea for aid. Yet this is the first September to be "Hunger Awareness Month" in Powell, and it's a chance to tangibly address hunger at home and abroad.
This awareness month should result in education, action and, hopefully, some full bellies.

text: My university is hosting a strongman event in about seven months. My orginal inetntions where to add on as much muscle mass as possible between now and then in attempts to prepare for the event, but I honestly don't know if thats the right direction to head in or not. Any advice on workouts, nutrition, article references, etc would be much appreciated. I haven't really trained in about three months, and before that I had only been working out consistenly for about three months, so if yall think it would be hard to even put up a fight, I have no problems with waiting till it comes around the year after. The events are Atlas stones, Fingles fingers, truck pull, whatever the keg toating thing is lol, and a standard barbell deadlifting. I'm 6'1 255lbs(i would guess high 30% low 40% in bodyfat) if that would help anyone diagnose anything. Thanks.

If you can even believe it, which I can't. I hope everyone has some awesome summer goals and challenges starting up this week! I have been doing challenges since January. That means that I am on challenge 6 already. Half way through my year of transformation. Some of them I have failed miserably at, like last month's meditation challenge which basically didn't happen. But some of them have been awesome, like the Whole30 challenge and the grown folks challenge.
This month my goals are going to be pretty simple. We have a 10 day vacation coming up to Colorado which I will brag about later, I have some work travel, I will be working on hiring a staff and getting office space set up, things are going to be crazy. So I am sticking with what I know. Fitness and food challenges. Challenges that will keep me at 100% without adding stress.
Goal 1: Be able to comfortable run a 5k by the end of the month. Somewhere in all of this get fit challenges, I started running again, and I remember why I love it so much. I am running with a group of women from work, and I'd like to be able to keep up to make it more social. Besides, I have the dirty girl in August so now is the time to get ready. I have been running pretty long distances, but with the dogs it's a lot of stop and go.
Goal 2: Primal Blueprint/clean eating 20/80. I've got to get my diet into a groove just like my working out. I can't spend the rest of my life doing diet challenges but never really having a plan for myself. I have started with good habits like food tracking and eating well for the most part. Drinking needs to become more of a celebration, eating out should happen once a week tops and healthy choices need to become my default.
This leads me to my kick-off. I call it the post familial celebration cleanse.
1 week of strict paleo eating with a bigger focus on lean meats than I traditionally do. Along with paleo eating, I am going to try to quit caffeine. That's right. I said it. At work caffiene jacks me up, then all I want to do it eat out the candy bowl at the lady's desk next to me. Not cool lady, not cool.
April challenge is going to be easy. Well not easy, but simple to track. 2000 fitness minutes. That averages out to 66 minutes a day. The snow has melted, the temp is (sort of) rising and my muscles have almost atrophied from a winter of hating the outdoors. Every year in April I do a big kick-off to summer where I pledge to get my ass moving.
For the record, when I break a sweat I count it as fitness, so heavy cleaning ends up going into the tracker. This has a double perk because it motivates me to, if nothing else, clean something big. Since today is the 2nd, and yesterday was spent traveling, I already have some making up to do. I'll be adding in the EXTRA LONG WALK this week. So looking forward to 2+ hours of dog walking and podcasting this weekend.hoping to add some cycling in this month since the Riverwest 24 hour bike race will be here before you know it.
For nutrition, I want to continue to track my food. I got into it last month, towards the end and want to continue forward. I go to FL in 1.5 months and I want to feel good in my bathing suit.
Challenge Accepted.
I forgot it was April. Well, in all fairness I was able to spend the last weekend in March with my family in Tennessee and I didn't care that it was April. So I will keep my wrap up brief considering I also need to get my next challenge up and going.
Chores: My house is clean, my house is clean, and the whole family has caught the fever. Daily chores help keep things under control and when I got home yesterday after the hubster's bachelor weekend, the house was sparkling. Yay! Challenges are contagious.
Self Care: I did not go to the dentist. Old habits die hard. I will go, in April. But things are more organized around the house and I feel caught up on most things that need to be taken care of. Budget is dialed in and we have a focus for our savings.
Fitness and food were so so this month. Not horrible, but not great. Just not a lot of focus. Got some cycling in, some running, some crossfit, some yoga, some rock climbing, some hiking, lots of dog walking. All this while trying to rest a sore knee. It was a balanced month and I stayed busy.
Yoga: I'm in love. While I didn't have a daily home practice, I did practice and I am seeing awesome results in flexibility, concentration and reflection. Attended a vinyasa class and got my ass kicked. My Bikram studio just put in new floors so I am dying to get back in the hot room. Overall, very pleased with yoga for the month.
Onward and upward.
Chores: I fell off on my chores again this week, but you want to know why? Because I was working out like a mother fucker.
I hit the Bikram 6.00 am twice last week. That is prime 'chore doing' time. I also managed a couple of long walks with the puppers during the week, something I haven't done since before winter. I should save that for the fitness section I guess.
ANYWHO, one thing I did work on this week is my attitude towards my chores. This is my challenge right? And chores make my house more enjoyable to be in, right? So why do I whine like a little baby when they need to be done? One could argue that it is because I just changed birthcontrol and have been on my fucking period for a month. Actually I think that's a really good argument and I am going to go with that. Last week I started a "whine about chores bitchfest". About 3 minutes in I told my inner brat to STFU and get something done. And I did. I cleaned my kitchen from top to bottom and even did the floors on my hands and knees because I hate mops (long story). And you know what? It looks great, it still looks great even after a weekend of cooking. And I feel satisfied when I am in it, and not twitchy about how gross it is.
Food: This week went really well. I shopped on a budget and spent half of what I normally do at the grocery. Score. We still ate really well and had too many leftovers in the fridge by the weekend. I drank very little this week, but did enjoy a beer after a brutal climbing and yoga session. Both were the best beers that I have had in a long time. I did have quite a lot of grains this week. When I do Bikram my carb craving goes through the roof. I stuck with rice and potatoes but had sugar overload a couple of times. I plan to dial that back in this week.
Fitness: My knee is better for real. 2 Bikram sessions, over 15 miles run/walked, a climbing session and a crosffit session last week. I am pleased and I feel strong and sore as shit. I power cleaned 85lbs this weekend which was super exciting. I haven't really put much weight on the bar since starting crossfit and I thought my month hiatus would have slowed me down, but the rest was good. The rest was very good. I love my ladies CF class.
Personal Care: This week I did some more organizing, got some rogue bills paid and put money back in savings after almost completely paying off a brutal car repair from last fall. W00t W00t. Did a great job keeping the weekend affordable and instead of going out to eat 300 times the hubby bought himself a presentable dinner jacket.
Yoga: Bikram bikram bikram. That is about all I did last week with yoga. Not much in the way of a home practice, but two 6am bikram classes was great. We have a new teacher who rocks with the technical verbal corrections. She is a genius, and her 6am Friday classes will be a new staple in my practice. For her morning classes she focuses more on form because the body is not warmed up and it is a good time to chill out and pay attention to the details. I concur.
Chores: Chores I was a little off on this week BUT they got done. This week was hectic. I worked a couple of nights and eeked in some social time several days this week (which is very unlike me and cuts into my routine).
Food: This week was not great. I can't even call it ok. I have an issue. I thought it was with self control but that's not really it. The issue is that if I don't have a plan, I have a hard time objectively assessing how I am doing. Its easy to say "This was a good week" if I am eating whole30 and don't allow myself any junk. But on my own, 1 beer turns into 3, date night turns into me eating tater tots off my hubby's plate, a plan for a healthy dinner and glass of wine turns into skipping dinner because you lost track of time because you filled up on margaritas at a friends going away party. See a pattern here? Anyway, I am recommitting to paleo/whole30 with some modifications. I'll be adding beans into my diet again and I will allow one night of alcohol a week. If I can't get down with 1 night, I'll have to be a teetotaler until I start reaching some of my fitness goals.
Fitness: My knee is better thankfully. But I still haven't gotten back to crossfit. For this I feel slightly guilty and slightly glad that I can walk without wincing. I had an AMAZING home practice with yoga this week. Dave Farmar Power Vinyasa is the bomb. I hope to make it into crow soon. I also hit up the climbing gym for the first time ever this week. Fear of heights doesn't go so well with scaling tall walls, but It was fun, I am sore, and I have a month membership to the gym. If at first you are scared as shit, try try again. Got in some long walks with the dogs and some at home strength training. Overall, successful week.
Personal Care: Still haven't made my dentist appt. BUT I did find a new dog sitter, which I have been talking about for 6 months. And (TMI) I finally got an IUD put in. 5 years of birth control makes me smile.
Yoga: Awesome week for yoga. Spent tons of time on my mat at home. Haven't been back to Bikram in a while, but I am hoping to squeeze it in this week. I was just adjusting to getting up at 5.00 am to make my 6.00 am class and now that 5.00 am feels like 4.00 am.
Chores: Done and Done. I love my clean house. I also love the guilt free feeling of doing nothing because my chores are done.
Food: Was this week good? I don't really remember. I did avoid a couple of tempting situations involving desserts, but could not resist cheese fries and wings. What are you gonna do? I am pleased with my latest drink choice, the Gin Rickey. Low in sugar, super refreshing, hydrating! Swoon. And I love gin. So there. Next week I will not drink during the week, one of my nutritional goals of this challenge. I didn't really post nutritional goals for this challenge but I have them. Because I did my measurements for last month and I saw very little results after a month of fancy free eating and drinking. Shocking. Time to dial it in.
Fitness: I am nursing a really sore knee. Because of this, I did yoga home practice all week instead of more intense forms of working out. That's right. After 2 failed months of an attempted daily yoga home practice, I manage to start this challenge off with 4 consecutive days of strong yoga practice. Hmph. So much for expectations. I will be getting back to crossfit next week after a hiatus. After "skiing" yesterday, the knee is stiff but not painful so I am ready to go back.
Personal Care: I brushed like a champ, but still haven't set up my dentist appt. I filed and organized last week! I have not cleaned out yet. There is snow on the ground. And the dumpsters, and the sidewalks. That'll have to wait.
Yoga: Look, yoga has it's own spot. Why? Because after a strong first week of home practice, I am adding a 30 day challenge to this month! One of these days, my home practice will be second nature. The only way for that to happen is persistence.
And an aside, my screen time has dipped dramatically already with no monitoring on my part. My habits, they are a-changin'.

Logic of quantified statements: for all vs if then
by jreelawg

Statement 1: If n is any prime number > 2, then n+1 is even.
Statement 2: For all prime numbers p, if p>2, then p is even.
The above two statements seam equivalent, but have different converses, etc.
converse 1: If n+1 is even, then n is a prime number > 2.
converse 2: For all prime numbers p, if p+1 is even, then p > 2.
If you have a statement that begins with if, is it illegal to write as a for all?
Feb16-12, 03:15 PM
Sci Advisor
In my opinion "for all" is an ambiguous expression. For example if we say "For all real numbers m, there exists a real number k such that k > m" this could be interpreted as the (incorrect) assertion that there is a largest real number, one that is greater than all real numbers. It is clearer to say "For each real number m, there exists a real number k such that k > m", unless you are actually intend to convey a different meaning.
In mathematics it is often true that an if-statement is intended to have some universal truth. For example, if the statement is made that "If a > b then a + c > a + c", there are a lot things that are "understood" about the meaning of that statement. One possible interpretation of that statement is: "For each real number a and for each real number b and for each real number c, if a > b then a + c > a + b."
However, strictly speaking, an if-statement need not be any sort of universal claim. An expression which has variables in it, but no quantifiers for the variables ( i.e. no "for each" or "there exists") is technically not a "statement", it is a "statement function". A "statement" must be true or false. A statement function is only true or false when specific values are substituted for the variables.
So, strictly speaking, "if p > q then r > s" is not a statement. You can't say if it is true or false.
When we quantify the variables in various ways, we get statements. One example is:
"For each p, there exists a q such that for each r, there exists an s such that if p > q then r > s".
I find that statement confusing to interpret! However, it demonstrates how the quantifiers "for each" and "there exists" can be employed.
If we fix the typo "then p is even" to be "then p+1 is even", the statements you gave are both equivalent to "For each integer p, if p is a prime and p > 2 then p+1 is even".
Talking about the "converse" is a tricky matter. Strictly speaking, "converse" is a term that applies to if-statements. I don't know whether logicians apply it to "if-statement functions". Ordinary mathematicians do talk about the converse of theorems. What they would mean in your example is the statement "For each integer p, if p+1 is even then p is a prime and p > 2". So they wouldn't be worried about whether the "p+1 is even" implied that p was an integer.
Feb16-12, 03:29 PM
My book has a problem in it:
For each of the true statements, show that their converses are false.
"If n is any prime number greater than 2, then p+1 is even."
My reaction was that the converse would be- "for all prime numbers p, if p+1 is even, then p is greater than 2."
The problem is that this converse is also true. But in the back of the book, the answer is that the converse is - "If n+1 is even, then n is a prime number greater than 2." which is false.
This made me kind of uncomfortable, so I asked my professor this morning, and it kind of threw him off too.

Logic of quantified statements: for all vs if then
In general Q implies P does not follow from P implies Q.
Feb16-12, 03:41 PM
I thought about wether the converse should be n is any prime number, but decided it didn't make sense for something to be any number. I would say maybe is an element of the set of all prime numbers. I guess to say it is any element of the set of prime numbers just sounds strange. The word is implies that it is a specific number.
And the books answer uses the form "is a prime number".
My problem is that which converse is correct seams inconsistent depending on how you interpret or format a statement, and who you ask.
Also the book considers that the negation of a for all (universal statement) is the existential, some are, or at least one is. But it seams like the two options for negating a for all, are not equivalent. The difference seams to be >= 1 vs >1.

P(x) to mean "x is a prime number"
E(x) to mean "x is even"
G(x) to mean "x is greater than 2"
then we can consider the following statements:
Statement 1: For each x, if ( P(x) and E(x)) then G(x).
Statement 2: For each x, if P(x) then (if E(x) then G(x)).
I think the statements are logically equivalent. However if you look at statement 2, you can see why "converse" may not be a well-defined concept for expressions with statement -functions. Do we reverse the sides of both the if-then expressions? Do we reverse the sides of one of them and not the other?
"Converse" is unambiguous when applied to expressions of the form
if (Statement A) then (Statement B)
However, when applied to expressions like
For each x, if ( statement function A) then (statement function B)
things can become unclear since the statement functions themselves may have other if-statement functions inside them.
I think what you did was convert statement 1 into statement 2 and then you applied one possible definition of "converse" to statement 2. Given that you did that, some confusion is appropriate.

Crosslake sets 2013 levy
The Crosslake City Council set the 2013 tax levy Monday night, Dec. 10, at the same amount as the 2012 levy: $2,709,916.
City Administrator Tom Swenson said that while the levy will remain the same, individual taxes could increase or decrease depending on changes to property values.
Though the levy will remain the same, the city budget is up. Swenson said this is mostly due to refinancing of city bonds.

Registering at Brown for the First Time
In July, entering undergraduates receive a mailing from the office of the Dean of the College that includes the Guide to Liberal Learning. They will be referred to a website specifically for incoming students and be asked to complete the CAP Matching Form online. Later in the month, these students will receive an email indicating the CAP course in which the students have been placed. At this time, the students will be referred to an additional online form to request a First Year Seminar and to enter the VISA 0100 lottery. Students should use the summer to view the online course schedule in preparation for meeting with their advisors upon arrival on campus.
During orientation each student will meet with his or her academic advisor for an academic counseling conference. At that time, they will discuss the student's selection and schedule of courses for the fall semester. Students are, therefore, encouraged to postpone questions regarding their academic program until that meeting, rather than calling or writing prior to their arrival on campus.
First year students must secure an alternate PIN from their advisors in order to register. The online registration system will be turned on for new freshmen, transfer, and graduate students on the last day of orientation. Incoming students who have been placed in a CAP course, a First Year Seminar, or the VISA 0100 course will be registered by the Registrar's Office and will see those courses reflected on their registration when they log on to the registration system for the first time. If any changes need to be made to these courses, they can be made at that time.
According to faculty rule, no student may register for his or her fifth semester unless a declaration of concentration has been filed with the registrar. Students failing to complete registration on time because of the failure to file a concentration declaration may be subject to a late registration fee and late add fees. Changes in declaration are permissible.
It is important that all students, especially those currently sophomores, give serious consideration to the choice of a concentration program. Once a concentration program is chosen, there should be no delay in filing the program, properly approved, with the Registrar.
Readmitted Undergraduates
Readmission Fee
Related Link:
All readmitted undergraduate students (except exchange and study abroad students) will be charged a $70.00 readmission fee.
Change of Plans on Returning
Students whose plans have changed and who do not intend to return in the upcoming semester should immediately inform the Office of the Dean of the College in writing.
Undergraduate Students Not Registering Due to Withdrawal or Leave of Absence
To ensure that separation from the University is in good order, undergraduate students who are currently enrolled and who, for reasons other than graduation, do not intend to return for an upcoming semester must officially withdraw or request a leave of absence in writing through the Office of the Dean of the College. Student separation plans must be formalized by May 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester.

Aviation buffs invited to join new EAA group
By Tiana Sanders
Local aviation enthusiasts are invited to join others who share their interest on March 24 to explore forming a local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), the leader in recreational aviation. The EAA provides invaluable aviation opportunities for adults, as well as kids, both locally and nationally.
The organizational meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 24 at the Blaine municipal airport main hangar, behind Yorky's on Boblett Street. Pilots and non-pilots with an interest in aviation are invited to attend.
The EAA has more than 1,000 chapters around the world, which provide activities for aviation enthusiasts. Chapter activities range from monthly meetings, to fly-ins and pancake breakfasts that share aviation with the community and build a stronger bond between local aviation and the general public. Other EAA chapter efforts include Young Eagle rallies, which give free flights to kids to share the world of flight with a new generation; aircraft building projects; and work parties that help maintain local flight facilities. Most EAA chapter members are pilots, but non-flying aviation enthusiasts are always more than welcome.
chapters are the backbone of the international EAA organization,
which has more than 170,000 members worldwide. The local
organizations include EAA chapters as well as specialized
chapters for vintage aircraft, warbird, ultralight and
aerobatic flight enthusiasts.
For more information about this organizational session, contact Tiana Sanders at 935-4042 or Martin Ranck at 332-8719.

I grew up in love with the Muppets. When I was a little kid, reruns of The Muppet Show aired early in the morning. I would try desperately to wake myself up in time to watch it. Kermit the Frog and company started my day five days a week, or at least as many as I could get myself to the living room on time. I was mesmerized by the antics of those crazy frogs, dogs, pigs, bears, chickens, and monsters, and I believed in them with all my heart.

WFED 1500AM Federal Tech Talk with John Gilroy interviews Shelia Duffy (President) and Mary-Sara Camerino (Director of Technology Services) at Greystones Group. Listen to the full interview.
Most everyone reading this has heard of agile software development and open source software. These concepts have been used in commercial systems for many years. What is new is the successful application of using them on federal IT projects. This implementation is described in the interview with Mary-Sara Camerino and Shelia Duffy. They discuss some of the challenges they had to overcome in organizations like Office of Naval Research and National Guard Bureau.
Federal acquisition managers have been trained to describe a software project as a set of requirements set in stone and never changing. This may work when one is building a tank, but not when managing systems with rapidly changing content.
Mary-Sara has worked with federal acquisition professionals to help them alter the requirements gathering to a more modular approach. This focuses on important principles of agile software development, which are described in the Agile Manifesto:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
ARMATURE uses agile software development for completing complex data collection projects, including accreditation management for the protection of the nation's blood supply at AABB.
John Gilroy hosts a weekly radio show on Federal News Radio, appears regularly as "The Computer Guy" on WAMU's The Kojo Nnamdi Show, and is an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. Further information about John and his thought-provoking comments on the technology industry can be found at, TechTuesdayBlog.

I've spent most of my entire life surfing. The rest I wasted. ~ Unknown
Want some news guaranteed to float your flip-flops?
New Smyrna Beach just splashed onto National Geographic's list of the World's 20 Best Surf Towns. The folks at National Geographic were looking for destinations with "consistent waves, inviting accommodations, friendly locals, fun nightlife, delicious food and plenty of activities should the ocean go flat." They cited the town's 13 miles of beach, 300 surfable days a year, warm water and great fishing.
Although I am not a skilled surfer (an epic understatement if there ever was one) I couldn't agree more. New Smyrna Beach has loads of little shops and cafes, a thriving arts community and its beaches are wide and flat with golden-hued sands. You can drive on the beach – which is great if you have surfing gear – or opt for their beach that doesn't allow cars. And parking is free.
Yes, you should visit!
Insider's tip: For a great burger smack-dab on the beach, eat at Breakers (518 Flagler Ave., New Smyrna Beach, Fla., 32169, 386- 428-2019).

30 Rock did a live episode last night. Or actually, they did two live episodes last night. (One for the east coast, one for the west coast.) And it was really great! There were a lot of great jokes and performances and cameos. However, for the purposes of this post, I just want to talk about Fred Armisen. He appeared on the episode three times. And yet, he never spoke a word. Seconds after the theme song, which Jane Krakowski sang, we see Armisen standing behind Liz Lemon with a handlebar mustache. He's a guy on the crew. He's just there in the background. The camera didn't stay on him long. If you blinked, you missed it.
Later in the episode, the bulk of the cast is locked in Tracy's dressing room so Kenneth can remind them all how great live television is with wacky cutaways, which were actually pretty damn funny. Yet, hang on a second! That's not Judah Firedlander playing Frank Rossitano. It's Fred Armisen playing Judah Friedlander playing Frank Rossitano. Here again we see him hiding in plain sight.
But the real show stealer came later in the episode when Jimmy Fallon was playing a young Jack Donaghy answering phones at a telethon. In the background, also answering phones, is Fred Armisen in drag. Go watch this whole scene. It's great. For the first part, it's just half of Armisen's face on camera with one eye making chilling contact. After a moment, he finally just commits to the gag and officially grabs the scene away from Fallon. Or maybe that was the character stealing the scene. I honestly can't tell with him sometimes. Maybe, he's not Fred Armisen at all right here. Maybe he's some forgotten housewife noticing the camera and seizing her moment.
On the one hand, I think Armisen is really funny. But on the other hand, I feel like he almost transcends the genre. This last appearance made me laugh, sure. But, it also made me kind of nervous. I'm thinking his next role should be in a dramatic turn as a bad guy (or girl). Can you imagine him as a psychopathic killer? I sure can.

Personally I think there should definitely be more intercontinental play-offs. You don't need so many sides from Africa etc. to get the whole 'world' element across to the competition. Set a reasonable number of teams to go through from each continent and let the rest play off. You want the best teams playing.

More ins and outs
I posted some things that I expect to be in and out at the 2009 NAB Show. I'm in Las Vegas now, and after walking around the convention before the exhibits open, I found some items to add.
* Interest in technology
I stopped in the SBE Ennes Educational Workshop and saw an interested crowd. The room was not as full as I have seen it in previous years, but there was a decent crowd. And they were all focused on the presentation.
* Broadcast attendees
I said earlier that while the overall attendance will be down (something the NAB admits), the raw number won't look as bad as it really is. I expect attendees to stay only a few days instead of the entire week.
However, even these numbers may be deceiving. I saw a quote from Dennis Wharton, executive vice president of media relations at the NAB, who echoed the reduced attendance expectation, but he also noted that only 20 percent of the attendees are actually broadcasters. He attributed this to the diversity of the convention now. This leads me to the next out:
* The broadcast focus of the convention
If only 20 percent of the attendees are broadcasters, why is it still called the NAB?

Old book I read decades ago. . .
OK, can anyone place this one?
This was a book that I read years ago, and I want to reread it.
This was something of a dystopic future, the government was keeping an eye on everyone. A totalitarian regime.
The main character was a young man who somehow got the job of going to this wealthy person's home while they were away and keeping an eye on things. I remember there being carpet rolled up in the house. Kind of a mansion.
So he meets a woman and for some reason he is not supposed to have anything to do with her, at least on a more personal level, if you know what I mean.
So he takes her to the house he is watching and they start a relationship, and they then get caught somehow and he is accused of miscegenation.
I remember that word in the story, so that should be pretty specific.
It was a long story as I recall and there was time travel and everlasting life in it. But I could be mixing that up.
Does that ring a bell?

Well, thinking of tidbits, a few more come to mind from old long lost memories.
As I recall it turns out she is secretly from another planet, and they go there.
This other planet has a treatment for anti aging, he gets it and so lives forever. The other planet also has time travel, but only one way. They send him back to the time of Christ and he witnesses many historical events over thousands of years.
People age and die around him but he has to make himself up to look older and every so many years has to disappear and appear again younger elsewhere.
Marries, raises a family, etc. Over and over to get back to present time.
What a grind that sounds like, huh?
