Arson investigators are asking for the public's help in gathering information about a fire Sunday in Mount Eden that knocked out some phone lines for several hours.
The fire broke out at 146 Mount Eden Road in Spencer County at about 4 a.m. Sunday morning, and the Mount Eden Fire Department arrived to find the structure fully involved, said Fire Chief Doug Herndon.
"Arson is likely to be the cause of the fire," Herndon said.
Rob Rothenburger, interim 911 director, said that several fiber optic cables were damaged in the fire, interrupting 911 communications for a short time.
"AT&T was on the scene and got those repaired in a very short fashion," he said. "Fiber optics carry a multitude of resources and tools. They can do telephone, 911 and high speed Internet. Emergency Management said that 911 and cellular service may be affected as a result, but we did not get any calls about service being affected."
Herndon said investigators suspect arson because the building was vacant at the time of the fire and no electricity was turned on in the building.
The building used to be a church and later was employed for residential use, Herndon said.
Kentucky State Police is heading up the arson investigation, and spokesperson Ron Turley said the blaze also damaged two structures across the street. That consisted of damage to siding and electric and phone wires.
Although phone service was affected, both Kentucky Utilities and Shelby Energy officials said they did not have any customers without electrical service as a result of the fire.
Turley said that the 2-story building had been vacant for some time and was collapsing in on itself.
Herndon said that although investigators do not know the motive for the fire – the building was not insured it could be tied in with a similar fire that happened Jan. 10 at a nearby building, which was also vacant and also uninsured.
Arson is suspected in that fire as well, and Herndon said investigators are looking into whether the two are related.
"It is a good possibility, but we don't know for sure yet," he said. "As for a motive, we don't know that either, but there has been a strong feeling in the community for a long time that those buildings were eyesores."
Anyone with information about this fire is asked to call the Kentucky Arson Hotline at 1-800-27-ARSON. The Kentucky State Arson Task Force is offering up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest or indictment of the arsonist. Callers may remain anonymous.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is famous for his "99-county tour" throughout the state of Iowa, and most of the time, he schedules his visits by hosting open town hall meetings.
In Osceola, Grassley went a step above a town hall meeting. He scheduled a tour and visit with the officials and employees of Miller Products Thursday, May 29.
Grassley said he usually goes to courthouses for meetings, and typically, it's the same people he sees every time. By visiting Miller Products, he said he wanted to tap into another group of people who might not have the opportunity to attend his town meetings.
"It gives me an opportunity to do two things — learn about businesses of Iowa, and then I have a 'Q and A' with the workers," Grassley said. "So, I get opinions from people or questions from people that can't come to my town meetings because they can't afford to take off work or they can't get off work."
Overall goal
After his visit to Miller Products, Grassley was scheduled to talk at the high school in Leon to answer questions from teenagers. Later in the evening, he was scheduled to speak at a Lions Club meeting in Warren County.
Grassley said he was aiming to talk to a cross section of constituents — young people, industry professionals and business and production workers.
"I try to fill in a vacuum that I would have with those type of people," he said.
Once Grassley arrived at Miller Products, he sat down for an interview with the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune. Then, he took a tour of the business.
Miller Products
Miller Products was founded in 1936 as a bicycle dealer and kick-stand manufacturer. The business has evolved into a supplier of screw-machine products.
Miller Products manufactures a line of stock nonthreaded pins. This line includes a wide range of lock, hitch, bent and tension-lock-hitch pins.
In addition to its stock line, they also manufacture custom-turned machine parts.
After the tour, Grassley held a question and answer session with employees of Miller Products.
Before the question and answer session, Grassley said he expected to talk to employees about Obamacare, the budget deficit, too much government regulation, high taxes and government partisanship.
"Those are the usual questions I get whether I'm at an open town meeting, or maybe from these same people," he said.
While many topics were covered — from fiscal spending, to jobs going overseas, to the erosion of the middle class — one of the main topics was the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
People voiced concerns with premiums going up and people not being able to keep their current health care provider because it didn't meet the government's health care standards.
Grassley said a change could only come after the next presidential election, but that depends on who gets elected.
"It's going to get worse before it gets better as long as we have this law on the books, and I hope it gets changed, but I'm not sure," he said. "It isn't going to change as long as this president is still president."

ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A conservation group is appealing federal land managers' approval of a major open-pit mine in central Nevada.
Reno-based Great Basin Resource Watch wants the Bureau of Land Management to rescind its approval of the Mount Hope Molybdenum Mine about 25 miles northwest of Eureka.
Group Executive Director John Hadder says the agency failed to adequately address the project's environmental impacts and mitigation measures to address those impacts.
He says the BLM also failed to prevent the "unnecessary or undue degradation" of public land resources as required by federal law.
BLM spokeswoman JoLynn Worley told the Elko Daily Free Press that the state director will review the petition.
According to the agency, Eureka Moly LLC's mine will disturb some 8,100 acres of public land within the project area.

IF you go
Flaming Lips and Morgan Delt perform Thursday, June 12, at the Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets $49.50 and $36.50. Call 313-961-5450 or visit www.livenation.com.
Flaming Lips takes a bit of pride in doing "weird" things with its music. Or, at least, things other people consider weird.
"If someone thinks it's strange, that means we're doing something original, which we like," says frontman Wayne Coyne, who co-founded the arty Oklahoma group 31 years ago. But even by Flaming Lips' standards, some of its current projects are REALLY out there.
Coyne and company are in the midst of creating a new version of the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," which follows Lips re-creations of Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" and Stone Roses' debut album. Several other artists are involved in the project, but the first blush — "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" with Miley Cyrus, a collaboration debuted on last month's Billboard Music Awards — has really raised eyebrows.
"It's all mostly from her," says Coyne, 53. "Back when she was still considered Hannah Montana I was aware she — and her whole family, for that matter — liked the Flaming Lips. And with someone like her, when they tweet something about you it goes to, like, 20 million people who then go, 'Hey, who are these guys?'"
Coyne says a tweet from Cyrus on his birthday in January led to some direct communication, which subsequently led to her getting into the studio with the band for the Beatles song and other recording.
"Mostly, she's just cool," Coyne reports. "She really loves music and loves doing interesting things. And she gets to control her own stuff. She's the one saying, 'I'm doing this,' 'I want to do this,' and that isn't true of everybody, especially in the kind of (pop) world she inhabits."
Coyne says Cyrus has done a couple of days of recording with the Lips and is planning on doing more during the summer, when both are off the road. But the end result, he says, is anybody's guess.
"I think we'll end up working on a lot of music," Coyne predicts. "If someone records with me, they don't usually ask, 'What's gonna happen?' or say, 'Well, if I'm recording with you, we're gonna put this out.' We just like being around each other and having fun and are interested in the way each other are doing things.
"I don't know if it'll be any good. It's just the sense that, 'Yeah, this is what we're doing, and we'll see what turns out.' That's the way we like to work, generally, and I don't think that'll ever change."

Putting family time on the road or at the beach in perspective.
BY Tom and Caroline McDonald
Every spring my husband and I have the same disagreement: He's ready to plan a big summer vacation, while I fret about the time off and the cost. In my mind, it's an extravagance, given that our kids are not far from high school and college. Is it wrong for us to spend money on something so frivolous as a vacation?
Caroline: Funny how something as innocuous as a vacation can lead to tensions in marriage, but it surely can! It stems from how we were raised. Did you camp in state parks or travel to beach destinations? Were you financially even able to take a vacation, or was money tight, and you vacationed by visiting relatives? In my family, vacation meant relaxing on a Gulf Coast beach for a week, doing nothing but sunbathing and reading. But, for Tom's family, vacation meant cross-country trips packed with activity, including yearly trips to Disneyland. So when we think about summer vacation, we start on two completely different pages. The beauty of marriage is that it can stretch us. It has taken 20 years, and I still don't think I could convince Tom to camp in the Rockies, but he has discovered the joy of a good novel with his toes in the sand. And I was easy to convert to the thrills of mega-amusement parks. Our kids are all the better for it, since they've been able to experience the power of God in the ocean surf and the beauty and vastness of our great country as we've driven across it.
Tom: In our opinion, it is right and just to take a vacation within your means. We certainly do not advocate going into debt for a lavish trip, but using what God has blessed you with can be a real blessing for your family. There is great value in escaping the work-a-day world together and enjoying each other's company. Friendships between your children can deepen, and fun family traditions and unforgettable memories emerge. My most treasured memories of my mom and dad (now both deceased) and my five siblings all come from those cross-country jaunts we took years ago. So Caroline and I have consciously put off certain house projects to have the means to take vacations, and we've never regretted it. In our minds, the kids won't look back on their years at home and say, "Wow! I sure love that bathroom Mom and Dad remodeled." But they will remember when Dad's favorite hat flew off and was shredded in Splash Mountain.
John Paul II explained their value this way: "Vacations should be … seen as significant moments in the very existence of the person. In moments of rest, and especially during vacation, man is invited to become aware of the fact that work is a means and not the end of life. … Man, freed from the pressing tasks of daily life, has the opportunity to rediscover his own contemplative dimension recognizing God's imprints in nature and especially in other human beings. This is an experience that opens him to a renewed attention to people who live near him, beginning with his family" (Angelus message, July 21, 1996).
Caroline: We suggest a compromise for those who find vacations frivolous: Include our faith as you plan. Is there a national shrine nearby? Or how about the birthplace of a great American saint? Google "Catholic pilgrimage sites in the U.S.," and let your trip be a chance to grow in knowledge and love for each other and for our Catholic Church.
Tom and Caroline McDonald are family-life coordinators
of the Archdiocese of Mobile, Alabama.

[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida -August 1, 2012- 6pm
Waffle fries and chicken sandwiches usually bring out the lunchtime crowds to Chick-fil-A . But never is it anything quite like this. Traffic was backed up along Capital Circle NE and crowds mobbed the inside of the fast-food joint.
Many of the people there came out as part of ''Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day'. The rallying cry was started by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Huckabee called for people eat at the restaurant on August 1 after it and its president Dan Cathy came under fire from the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered Community for comments he made against Gay Marriage. Huckabee created a Facebook page in support of the cause which already has more than half-a-million supporters.
"I thought it was important to come out here and support what typically is the silent majority and maybe today they're not so silent," says Richard Boutin, a Chick-fil-A supporter.
The move comes as a counter punch to the boycott many LGBT groups called for. But for customers of the traditionally Christian chicken joint, seeing the company stick to its values comes as no surprise.
"This day and age, everyone is trying to be politically correct. But you should really stick true to your values. That's what I most agree with and that's why I'm here," says Brooke Jessee, a Chick-fil-A supporter.
The company released this response on its website:
"Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day was not created by Chick-fil-A. We appreciate all of our customers and are glad to serve them at any time. Our goal is simple: to provide great food, genuine hospitality and to have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A"
The company has not released any officials figures yet on how much money 'Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day' brought in.
Tallahassee, Florida - August 1, 2012 - Noon -
Popular fast food chain Chick-Fil-A came under fire recently after its president Dan Cathy made comments against gay marriage. Now the restaurant's supporters are coming in droves to show their support during Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day.
The parking lot at the Chick-Fil-A on Capital Circle NE in Tallahassee is packed, so folks are actually parking at adjacent lots.
This all started because former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee started a Facebook group to bring support to Chick-Fil-A. So he called for a day of action today August 1 as Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day. More than half a million have already have already signed up on the social networking site. This whole controversy started a few weeks ago when Dan Cathy made an anti-gay marriage comment to a Baptist publication. That started off a firestorm among gay rights groups. Chick-Fil-A says it doesn't have anything to do with Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day. It is just trying to provide the best possible service for all of its customers.
There are some gay rights groups planning their own day of action on Friday to protest against the restaurant chain.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Chick-fil-A supporters are eating at the chicken chain's restaurants as the company continues to be criticized for an executive taking a public position against same-sex marriage.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, declared Wednesday "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day."
A spokeswoman for the Rev. Billy Graham says the 93-year-old evangelist ate a Chick-fil-A lunch, including a chicken sandwich and waffle fries, at his North Carolina home.
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta-based company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." Gay rights groups and others answered with calls for boycotts.
Opponents of Cathy's stance have planned "Kiss Mor Chiks" for Friday, asking people of the same sex to show up at Chick-fil-A locations and kiss each other.
ATLANTA — August 1, 2012 -
Supporters of Chick-fil-A are planning to eat at restaurants in the chicken chain as the company continues to be criticized for an executive's comments about gay marriage.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, declared Wednesday national "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day."
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta-based company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." That unleashed a torrent of criticism from gay rights groups and others, who have called for boycotts and efforts to block the chain from opening new stores.
Opponents of the company's stance are planning "Kiss Mor Chiks" for Friday, when they are encouraging people of the same sex to show up at Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country and kiss each other.
July 30, 2012
The national debate over Chick-fil-a president Dan Cathy's comments on gay marriage rages on.
Dan Cathy said he supports the "biblical definition" of marriage between a man and a woman. This caused Boston, Mass. Mayor Thomas Menino to say he would try to stop a Chick-Fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to say "Chick-Fil-A's values are not Chicago's values." People in our area continue to weigh-in on what Cathy said.
"From an economic standpoint as far as branding your company, I agree with what they're doing but I don't agree with excluding someone base on their preferences when it comes to dining," said Tallahassee resident Alex Smith.
Chick-Fil-A customer Jordan Burnic, Jr. had a different view.
"I have no problem with him having that type of an opinion. Everyone can have opinions. That don't mean what he said is correct or wrong, but he has the right to have an opinion, that's why this is America," said Burnic, Jr.
Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin have voiced their support for the restaurant chain.

BOSTON -- Arguing against an order they say will unfairly hamper their case against three former probation officials, prosecutors say they plan to call Rep. John Rogers, who vied in 2008 with Speaker Robert DeLeo for leadership of the House, and DeLeo's godson, Brian Mirasolo, who was allegedly protected and promoted as part of a patronage scheme.
Whether the prosecutors are granted the additional time they say they need to call a range of witnesses will depend on Judge William Young, who set time limits in connection with his forecast for the trial's end date to July 18.
"The government respectfully requests that the Court reconsider this ruling and allow the government to present the evidence it has determined is needed to carry its heavy burden of proving the case to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt," prosecutor Robert Fisher wrote in a motion last week.
Young said Monday that parties in the case should continue operating under the restrictions designed to help complete the trial by July 18, but said he would hold a hearing Wednesday on Fisher's motion to reconsider those restrictions.
Former Probation Commissioner John O'Brien and two of his former deputies, Elizabeth Tavares and William Burke III, are accused of systematically rigging the hiring system to give jobs to candidates with political backing in exchange for "political currency," but not cash.
Mark McHale, a regional administrator, will testify that Mirasolo was a preferred candidate and a "mediocre" line probation officer, who "never" should have received two promotions, according to Fisher. He said McHale heard former probation official Fran Wall, now a key prosecution witness, told him to "lay off" irasolo.
Rogers, a Norwood Democrat, conceded to DeLeo after a speakership contest came to a head following Salvatore DiMasi's January 2009 resignation. According to Fisher, Rogers will testify "specifically" about his unsuccessful tries for speaker against DiMasi and DeLeo, which he said will buttress the charges of conspiracy and racketeering.
Ed Ryan, who was the legislative liaison for the probation department and still works overseeing the electronic monitoring of offenders, will testify that he gave DeLeo "the opportunity to fill" electronic monitoring positions and also alerted Senate President Therese Murray, Sen. Marc Pacheco and other lawmakers about the openings.
Ryan began his testimony Friday. DeLeo has said the prosecution's allegation of jobs-for-votes in his fight with Rogers for the speaker's chair "never happened."
Fisher left off the list of witnesses the prosecution "must" call a few lawmakers who prosecutor Fred Wyshak previously said were intended to be witnesses for the prosecution. Majority Whip Byron Rushing, of Boston; Housing Chairman Kevin Honan, of Boston; Post-Audit and Oversight Chairman David Linsky, of Natick; Rep. Michael Moran, a division leader from Boston, and former Rep. Vincent Pedone, of Worcester, are not on Fisher's list.
Former Chief Justice of Administration and Management Robert Mulligan, former House Ways and Means Chairman Charley Murphy and aides to DeLeo are on Fisher's list.

Carmen Carrera & Laverne Cox Sit Down With Katie Couric
Jonathan Higbee | January 7, 2014
Two of the most visible trans celebrities of the day, Carmen Carerra (of RuPaul's Drag Race fame) and Laverne Cox (of Orange is The New Black), joined Katie Couric on her talk show to open minds across America.
Though Katie lobbed the typical questions for trans guests of talk shows that burst the intimacy bubble, both Carmen and Laverne handled them masterfully before pivoting to the broader issues at hand.
"People are becoming more interested in learning these days, rather than judging without experience," said Carmen. "And that's a good thing!"

A stroll or bike ride through Estes Park can now be a trip back in time, thanks to the Estes Park Museum and its new walking/biking history tours. At only $8 per person and a drop in policy, these programs give visitors and resident alike a convenient new look at old Estes Park.
On Wednesday evenings through August 27 from 5:30-7 pm, a bicycle tour of significant historical sites will cover a little more than six miles over slightly hilly terrain. It starts from the Estes Park Museum and is limited to the first 15 people to show up. Participants must wear a helmet, bring water, and be prepared to ride for an hour (breaks are also included in the tour).
The walking tour of downtown Estes Park is held every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 8:30-10 am and meets at the northeast plaza of Bond Park (near the Enos Mills statue). This tour is limited to the first 12 people who arrive and travels a section of downtown Estes Park.
On a recent walking tour, volunteer docent Sandy Osterman started her tour with an explanation of the Enos Mills, who is immortalized - along with his dog, Scotch - in Bond Park. Mills is considered to be the father of Rocky Mountain National Park; like John Muir (who was a friend of his, explained Osterman), Mills' naturalist writings and conservation work in what is now RMNP led to its national recognition and eventual designation as a national park in 1915 - one of the earliest Parks in the National Park System (it was the 9th so designated). The orientation of the bronze statue has Mills forever looking at Longs Peak, RMNP's iconic symbol. The designation of RMNP predated the Town's establishment in 1917, although the valley where Estes Park sits had been known by that name since William Byers, the founding editor of The Rocky Mountain News, called it such in an article describing his visit with Estes in the mid 1800s.
On the tour, the history of Bond Park since it was originally platted as open space in 1906 is included - as well as the history of the surrounding buildings. The first schoolhouse is now a t-shirt shop; the first church is a multi-level indoor mall (The Old Church Shops). The first brick building in town is now covered in stucco, but a portion of the original brick can be seen on the front stoop. All over downtown, evidence remains of how Estes Park grew and thrived, mostly catering to the visitors who had been arriving since Estes first settled in the area and took in adventures, irresistibly attracted to the beauty of the area.
Osterman showed historic photos from her electronic tablet to give the participants on the tour a hands-on "then and now" experience with every stop.
"This is wonderful for me, too, as a resident who loves the town," said Osterman, "Many times, you walk through downtown just looking ahead. This tour teaches everyone to look up, look down, and think about what it must have been like 100 years ago."

POSTED 7:45 p.m. EDT, April 11, 2007
A league source tells us that the Chiefs are shopping veteran receiver/return specialist Dante Hall.
Hall, 28, was the pre-eminent kick and punt returner earlier this decade. In 2003, Hall had 25.9 average yards per kick return and 16.3 average yards per punt return, both career highs. He also scored four total return touchdowns.
Since then, however, his performance as a returner has declined. Still, he possesses a skill that is of high value in the NFL, and with Pacman Jones out for the entire season, we think that one of the first teams who should give the Chiefs a call is the Tennessee Titans.
Hall is signed through 2008, at salaries of $1.5 million this year and $1.9 million next year. [PFT]
Bingo! As the saying goes, "Timing is everything." And once again, King Carl has displayed his knack for timing. With Pac Man Jones' league suspension for the 2007 NFL season, not only will the Titans be focused on locating his replacement in the secondary but also as a return specialist. Jones provided the Titans with a solid return game both as a kickoff specialist and a punt returner, so targeting Danta Hall as his replacement would seem to be a no-brainer. To complicate the situation for the Titans is the fact that Jones' backup, WR/KR Bobby Wade, departed via free agency to Minnesota. Clearly the Titans have a need and are equipped to do business with the Chiefs. The Titans have multiple draft picks in rounds 4 [#115 and #128] and also in the 6th round with picks #188, 404 and 206.
Sounds like a down right done deal...or is it? Come on, do you really think King Carl would make life that easy for anyone? No way! This is Peterson's time of year and you can bet your bottom buck he'll continue to climb up on that soap box every chance he can get.
Being careful not to hurt ourselves, let's dive alittle deeper into the knowledge surrounding the situation...knowing full well we had better do it ourselves, because waiting on Adam Teiceher or some other "in the know" reporter will only put us behind the eight ball.
Aside from the Titans, what other teams are in need of help at the KR/PR/WR positions? Here are the top candidates:
#1 Tennesse Titans
#2 San Francisco 49ers
#3 Miami Dolphins
#4 Tampa Bay Bucs
#5 Philadelphia Eagles
#6 Houston Texans
Without bomb-barding you with player stats and all, the above listed teams either ranked in the lower segment of the 2006 NFL ranking in either one or both return departments. In some cases, these teams also have lost a punt or kickoff specialist through free agency. Each of these teams could stand an improvement in terms of overall talent and depth at the WR spot as well.
But the key when it comes to King Carl and his timing, is whether or not these teams have draft picks to play with. As mentioned before, the Titans do have the necessary picks as does San Fran [4th round #104, 110 and 124] and to a lesser degree the Miami Dolphins [6th round #181 and 199]. So the picks are there. But the key to the final outcome could be in team upside, meaning a team likely to make a strong push at the playoffs...enter the Eagles and Bucs.
As you can now see, Danta Hall could very easily produce in a trade for the Chiefs a 4th round pick or even several second day draft picks. As for me, my money is on the 49ers and pick #4/110.

I like your assessment Cisco Kid, hopefully, management will take this opportunity to help the tream, great post.
Go Chiefs Eleven, win

It's sad. I think he could still be great, but not with Hermie probably fine him for every yard he potentially lost by not running north & south.
You can only have one favorite team. There are no "second favorites".

Who do we use, to return kicks, then?
Go after Ted Ginn Jr in the draft?!?

Willie L. and D.T.
Were the BEST!!
Jeff Webb will be the man. I have a strong suspiscion. There was an article on the KCStar web site where Herm says the 2 young guns earned the right to play, so no WR in the draft. I recall some STL Chief fan saying it not so long ago....

The Avenue Café, which opened nearly two years ago after Monterey restaurant closed its doors in November 2010, seems to have followed in that eatery's footsteps, after the cafe abruptly shut its doors two weeks ago.
The Avenue Café, located at 20 W. Park Ave., had opened under new owner Vasilis Tsiropoulos in 2011 after Monterey sold the business, and the new operators made some significant changes.
General Manager George Tsiropoulos, who previously owned Café Doran in Hewlett, told the Herald shortly after the new owners purchased the business that the restaurant's décor would continue to boast Monterey's trendy, modern flair, but that the café would include a menu with "diner" prices.
However, Long Beach Chamber of Commerce President Michael Kerr said that the restaurant abruptly shut its doors after serving its last dish on Sunday, Sept. 23.
"All of a sudden, people see a sign in the window that said 'we're opening the next day, we're renovating,'" Kerr said.
George Tsiropoulos did not return a call for comment. Kerr said the owners have not returned his calls either, and said that the restaurant seems to have shut its doors permanently.
"They gutted the place," Kerr said, adding that equipment and fixtures were loaded into a truck shortly after the business closed. "I heard that the bar that was in there, a guy with a big saw was cutting it into three sections. They took the chandeliers as well. It was a leasehold — why would they rip everything out? All those renovations were done by Monterey."
Kerr said that the owners of the Avenue Café previously owned the Ocean Park Diner in Long Beach. Before Monterey, the 20 West Park Ave. space had formerly been home to restaurant Corbin & Reynolds, and the location has been known for its high-turnover rate.
The Avenue Café was paying $16,000 a month in rent alone, though the landlord had lowered it. Still, with roughly 4,000 square-feet of space, Kerr said that the restaurant may have struggled to meet its overhead costs amid a tough economy. Landlord Richard Marshall did not return a call for comment.

While House Republicans gear up to grill Attorney General Eric Holder about what-he-knew-when about ATF's botched Operation Fast and Furious at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, the White House is signaling they're standing by the nation's top law enforcement officer. "As the President has made clear, he believes Eric Holder is an excellent Attorney General who has his full confidence," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in a statement to TPM on Wednesday. . . On Wednesday, Grassley called on Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, who heads DOJ's Criminal Division, to step down because he knew of the Bush-era "gun walking" even though DOJ denied in a Feb. 4, 2011 letter that ATF would ever walk guns. A Justice Department spokeswoman said Holder is standing by Breuer. "Assistant Attorney General Breuer has acknowledged his mistake in not making - and therefore not alerting Department leadership to - a connection between the allegations made about Operation Fast and Furious and the unacceptable tactics used years earlier in Operation Wide Receiver," Tracy Schmaler said in a statement. "He has acknowledged that mistake to Congress and to the Attorney General, who continues to have confidence in Assistant Attorney General's Breuer ability to lead the Criminal Division." Holder has accused politicians of playing "gotcha" games, called Fast and Furious "flawed in concept, as well as in execution" and accused Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller of being "behind" the calls for his resignation because they've been running a nearly daily tally of Republican congressman who have asked for him to step down. According to the Daily Caller's count, 52 Republican members of Congress and two Republican Senators are calling on Holder to step down, though there's been no evidence presented so far that shows he knew about the tactics used in Fast and Furious before whistleblowers went public (he also doesn't recall hearing about the existence of the operation itself, though some weekly briefings documents addressed to him mention it in passing). The GOP presidential field has also entered the fray, with four of them (Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann and Jon Huntsman) calling for him to step aside. The latest signal from the White House: ain't gonna happen. "The Attorney General has said repeatedly that fighting criminal activity along the Southwest Border - including the illegal trafficking of guns to Mexico has been and is a top priority of the Department," Schultz said in a statement to TPM. "The Attorney General has also made clear that he takes the allegations that have been raised about the operation very seriously and that is why he asked the Inspector General to investigate the matter and directed the issuance of policy guidance clarifying DOJ policy against gunwalking."So Holder stands behind Breuer and Obama stands behind Holder. Yeah, okay, but whose fly is open and whose pants are down around his ankles? On Capitol Hill Wednesday, Sipsey Street can report that these rumors swirled: 1. Holder would resign that day to avoid the hearing; 2. Holder would hold out until the traditional bad news day of Friday to cash in with a "voluntary resignation" that had been demanded by an increasingly nervous White House; 3. Breuer would leave instead of Holder to see if they could save the AG; 4. Holder would desperately cling to his office while firing Breuer; 5. And, last night, that the White House would cling to Holder at Justice because they need him there to maintain the fiction that they still control events because: a. They rest of the rats would desert the Titanic if they thought it was a "save yourselves" moment -- that is, that Holder leaving would be a breaking-of-the-dam moment and the entire truth would flood out as conspirators sought their own deals; or, b. Obama is incapable of admitting error and Holder is being kept on board despite the best contrary political advice (and some of this from high roller donors) that he is getting to try to stanch the bleeding with the re-election coming up. Another source said of Obama's reported pledge to Holder: "Yeah, right. That's what they say just before they throw you under the bus." It is important, the source noted, that the denial did not come from White House press secretary Jay Carney, but rather from scandal deflection expert Schultz. "If they meant it," he said, "Carney would have said it." The hearing, of course, is today. I'll be there early with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.
The ORIGINAL gathering place for a merry band of Three Percenters. (As denounced by Bill Clinton on CNN!)

Isn't that what they say just before they throw you under the bus? "If they meant it, Carney would have said it."

There is another option. Holder may meet a timely or untimely death. That depends on your perspective. It's happened before.

Eric Schultz - the guy who swore at Sharyl Attkisson as she moved closer to the truth. Wonder how he liked her latest connection to the Sipsey story about MOTIVE for Gunwalker.
He and Tracy Schmaler should be in line for an obstruction of justice charge when the dust settles.
He will probably be in attendance today, Mike. Give him a big Godfather hug.

Holder is one of the insiders. As such, he knows where the "bodies" are buried and could hurt his fellow travelers badly. Moreover, he is committed to the KOS, and won't betray it unless he is betrayed and his fellow travelers know it. There could always be a life altering event which shifts the paradigms under which he has labored for so long but that circumstance is more than unlikely.
Since the media control how these things are perceived by the masses, and they are acting as expected by sitting atop the sewer, that is the Marxists democratic party, the only truth and facts that will be available is through the Internet and talk radio. These will be carefully controlled or silenced, at their first opportunity.
This is the reality we have before us and it is no accident, that these things are as they are. They are murdering truth and liberty by the moment because they must, in order to survive.
- December 8, 2011 at 8:44 AM
I'll go with option "b" - obama is incapable of admitting error. barry will stick by his man holder to the very end - most likely because holder has the appropriate dirt that would bring him down.....
HaroldC - in a 'normal' world that would be a distinct possibility BUT I suspect that holder has a 'good insurance' policy in place - ie sworn statements that would be unsealed in case of an untimely death. And I imagine there would be more than enough to bring down the whole criminal cabal in those documents.

How about a black and white Nixonesque photo of Fearless leader, unshaven, pants rolled up, with an overall wrinkled, depressed and beaten-up look after resignation? (Super comma-splice?) Taken, of course, at low-tide on a deserted beach in Hawaii. That's what I want for Christmas. I would even settle for an iron-on transfer. Now that I think of it, that image on black velvet would really look good in the living room of the trailer.

Submission + - Rare Earth Magnets Pose Threat to Children
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "Many of today's toys contain rare-earth magnets which are much more powerful than the magnets of yesteryear and the magnets pose a serious threat to children when more than one is ingested because as the magnets attract one another they can cause a range of serious injuries, including holes through internal organs, blood poisoning and death (PDF). Braden Eberle, 4, swallowed two tiny magnets from his older brother's construction kit on two successive days last spring and his mother's first reaction was that the magnet would pass through her son's system without a problem. "People swallow pennies of the same size every day," said Jill Eberle. "They're smaller than an eraser." But next morning, with Braden still in pain, the family's doctor told them to go straight to the emergency room where an X-ray revealed two magnets were stuck together. "They were attracted to each other with the wall of each segment they were in stuck together," said Dr. Sanjeev Dutta, the pediatric surgeon at Good Samaritan Hospital who would operate on Braden later that day. "Because they were so powerful, the wall of the intestine was getting squeezed, squeezed, squeezed, and then it just necrosed, or kind of rotted away, and created a hole between the two." The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says at least 33 children have been injured from ingesting magnets (PDF) with a 20 month-old dying, and at least 19 other children requiring surgery."

DURHAM, N.C. – Four days after securing its first ACC road victory of the season, the Duke volleyball team puts an eight-match winning streak on the line Sunday Oct. 6 against Wake Forest in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Inside Access subscribers can watch the Blue Devil Network live video stream via GoDuke.com, while Duke's official site will also carry live stats.
In addition, Duke (12-2, 3-0 ACC) will don pink and hold a "Dig Pink" silent auction in support of the Side-Out Foundation. Established in 2004, the Side-Out Foundation is a support and advocacy organization dedicated to making a significant and identifiable difference in the lives of breast cancer patients and their families by supporting clinical trials, increasing patient support services and educating communities.
More information about the Side-Out Foundation fundraiser will be available at the marketing table during the match.
Duke's 12-2 overall record is the second-best in the ACC, trailing only No. 11 North Carolina's 13-0 mark. At 3-0 in the conference, Duke joins UNC, Miami, Florida State and Pitt as one of five undefeated teams in the league. Duke opened ACC play with sweeps against Virginia and Virginia Tech before earning a four-set victory on the road at Notre Dame.
Duke's roster boasts one of the top outside hitter tandems in the ACC in junior Jeme Obeime and sophomore Emily Sklar. Sklar leads the team with 161 kills, averaging 3.83 kills per set, while Obeime is right behind her with 153 kills. Rightside hitter Elizabeth Campbell has topped the 100 kill plateau as well, knocking down 124 this season. Junior setter Maggie Deichmeister has been key to the Blue Devils' offensive production. The Whitehall, Pa., native has amassed a team-high 499 assists and also leads the squad with five double-doubles.
In the middle, the Blue Devils have relied on senior Chelsea Cook and freshman Jordan Tucker. Both players have put down at least 88 kills, including 101 from Cook, while the pair has also combined for 79 blocks.
Defensively, Duke has benefited not only from the play of senior libero Ali McCurdy, but also that of freshman defensive specialist Sasha Karelov. McCurdy leads the team with 201 digs and 16 service aces, while Karelov ranks third on the team with 101 digs. McCurdy ranks second nationally among active players with 2,146 career digs, 54 shy of the school record (2,200 -- Jenny Shull).
Wake Forest (11-3, 0-2 ACC) began the 2013 campaign 11-1, marking the best start in program history. However, the Demon Deacons fell in their first two ACC matches, a 3-1 setback against Virginia Tech and a 3-0 loss to Virginia. Wake Forest takes on Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., Friday evening before traveling to Durham for Sunday's match.
Senior middle blocker/rightside hitter Kristin Grissom leads all Demon Deacon players with 156 kills this season. Senior outside hitter Kylie Hargreaves ranks second on the team with 154, while sophomore middle blocker Matalee Reed is the third Wake Forest player to top 100 kills, coming in at 112.
Duke holds a 46-15 all-time record versus Wake Forest. However, the Demon Deacons have won four of the in-state rivals' past five meeting, including both contests in last season's home-and-home series. When playing in Cameron, the Blue Devils are 22-4 against Wake Forest in program history.
Duke kicks off a four-match road swing next weekend with trips to North Carolina Oct. 11 and NC State Oct. 13.

Say it ain't so.
This morning when I heard this tragic news I nearly came to tears. How can there be a world without Twinkies and Wonder Bread?
"Wonder Bread helps build bodies 12 ways…" (or 10 ways or some such thing) was the commercial I remember as a kid. And what lunch would be complete without Twinkies, Ding Dongs or a pie? Nah, it's not exactly healthy but when you're a kid, sometimes lunch is the happening part of the day.
Here's some of the news story from the wires:
"Hostess Brands Inc. says it's going out of business after striking workers across the country crippled its ability to make its Twinkies, Ding Dongs and other snacks.
"The company had warned employees that it would file a motion with U.S. Bankruptcy Court Friday seeking permission to shutter its operations and sell its brands if plants hadn't resumed normal operations by a Thursday evening deadline. The deadline passed without a deal.
"The closing would mean the loss of about 18,500 jobs.

Corney coy on Dickov's future
Oldham chairman Simon Corney has refused to clarify what the future holds for manager Paul Dickov despite the FA Cup shock against Liverpool.
Last Updated: 03/02/13 12:26pm
Oldham chairman Simon Corney has refused to clarify what the future holds for manager Paul Dickov despite him pulling off an FA Cup shock with a 3-2 win over Liverpool.
The Latics are 19th in League One, just a point above the relegation zone, and have had only one draw in their last eight matches.
A deserved victory over Premier League opponents does not appear to have safeguarded Dickov's short-term future and he and Corney will meet tomorrow for talks about the way forward.
"We know we have poor form in the league and things need to be changed," said Corney just minutes after Oldham booked their place in the last 16 for the first time in 19 years.
"Football changes. People are very fickle, fans are very fickle, everyone is very fickle.
"Nothing will take away from the fact I need to change things to stay change in this division.
"Let's see what happens. Nothing has been decided and I couldn't tell you any more than that.
"I just want to enjoy today and the next 24 hours and we'll get back to work tomorrow.
"My thoughts change. We know we haven't done well and it's not a surprise.
"Paul is the first one to say when you get one draw out of eight games things are going to be spoken about and things are going to happen.
"But things in football changes very quickly we know that. One big win, two bad losses can change your mind.
"If you asked 1,000 people last week if we should change the manager 999 would have said yes. Today 999 would say no.
"I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to say it is difficult."

@VIP My friends all want to go skydiving in Sept. And I always wanted to do it, but I'm scared as shit (of being scared when the moment to jump comes... I don't know if it makes any sense).
So. What did you (honestly) think of it? Btw great idea to do this to raise fund for a charity, I'll pitch the idea to the gang...
Btw @ gals & guys, if any of you also want to chip in (as in comment/ share your own experience), please do!! :)
@Yoj that's Tandem skydiving (that's what it's called) is mandatory for first-timers / student. You are harnessed to the instructor who wears and pilots the parachute.
@Claudea I'm not AnnaLynne McCord, and I've never been skydiving. However, a couple of my friends are skydiving enthusiasts! One has done 3, the other goes solo now and does 7! Found a pretty good description of what it's like here. Good luck on your first skydive!!
I really, truly, didn't intend to disrespect Ms. McCord, to insinuate that she lacked courage, or to suggest that what she did was easy in any way.
I haven't been a regular commenter for long and I'm still learning how to make my sarcastic humour translate in black-and-white. Clearly, I have a long way to go.
I wish you and your friends the very best of luck.
Minpingirl: I agree. It's nice to see Mischa working out & being healthy rather than emaciated, starving herself and drug addled. By no means over weight. I think collectively our society has body dysmorphia.
I hope Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane's daughters grow into their looks. Yikes

2nd semester =Success!!!
We have had an extremely busy second semester, that is why we have just now had the opportunity to post on our blog. So many exciting things have happened and we are going to share them with you.
First we got our proposal finished and turned into Ms. Smith. Good thing too, because she does not play when it comes to getting in assignments. We discussed what worked and what didn't work in our proposal and we really like the overall outcome.
Second we selected our homeowner. We had a choice between two homes and after some discussion we made our decision. The homeowner was a bit hesitant about the project over all and about having so many teens in her home, but she warmed to us and now she is like another grandmother for us. We were so happy that we were able to help her. She is so appreciative and that is all we wanted.
Third we were able to get in a home auditor from GB3 Energy Solutions named Grant, who tested the homeowners home for energy efficiency. He used what is called a blower door and measured the amount of air escaping from the house and getting into the house. After he tested the home he sent us a report on the fixes that can be made to make the homeowners home more energy efficient. He then came to our classroom and explained the results of his audit and helped us decide on what we can do to maxmize our budget and get the most benefit for the homeowner.
Fourth we selected the improvements we would like to see made to the homeowners home. We decided to purchase a brand new energy efficient washer & dryer, we selected the LG version and it is nice. Many of us want that washer & dryer in our own homes. :-) We then got great news TIAA-CREF decided to donate CFL light bulbs to us for our retrofitting and to spread the word throughout our school about energy conservation. We also decided to have blown in cellulose insulation, a new furnace and to have her windows sealed. We spent the majority of our money and are really excited about it.
Fifth with the help of our auditor, Grant Swanson, from GB3 Energy Solutions we were able to select a company to put the furnace into the homeowners home. We chose Horizon Mechanical and we got a lot of help from one of the Owner/Operators, Tom Wolvin. He not only agreed to help us find a furnace that would fit the homeowners needs, but also came to our school to talk to our class about HVAC in general with a focus on furnaces. We learned how they work, what it takes to select the right one and that the size of the home really makes a difference when it comes to heating and cooling. Who ever thought we would be interested in furnaces, certainly not Ms. Smith.
Sixth we sent Ms. Smith to the homeowners house to sign paperwork. She said she sat down and explained everything that was happening and everything that we agreed to do for the homeowner. She said the homeowner was very excited.
Seventh full steam ahead. We were all ready to do our retrofitting on the 18th of April and low and behold there was a freak spring snow storm. Ms. Smith called all of us the day before to cancel, because she said that she didn't want anyone having to go out in such horrible weather, but all was not lost. We still had the washer and dryer delivered to the homeowner. Ms. Smith called to check and see if she received it and she had. The homeowner was so excited and grateful, Ms. Smith said, that she was almost moved to tears. That gave us even more fire to make sure that she got everything we wanted to pay for.
Eighth we finally were able to reschedule and it turned into a retrofitting week. Tom and his employee Scott came out to the homeowners house while we were there and showed us how to measure the home, showed us the corrosion in the old furnace and taught us about piping and venting a furnace properly. There was so much going on, but it was really interesting. That was on Monday May 11,2009 after that everything was a whirl wind. On the day that we came to visit we gave a thank you letter and lightbulbs to the home owner. Then on that Thursday May 14, 2009 the furnace was installed. A few of us were able to go and see this happen. We couldn't stay long because it was finals week. Everything was going smoothly. The next day Friday May 15, 2009 the state inspector came and checked to make sure that the furnace was installed properly and that it was vented according to code. It PASSED!!! With flying colors.
Then on Monday May 18, 2009 Grant and his company GB3 Energy Solutions came and blew the cellulose insulation into the attic. He said that when they went into the attic there was about a 5 foot area that had no insulation in it at all and it was open to a wall that lead into the homeowners room. So GB3 sealed up the hole and blew the insulation into it. A couple of us were able to come and check out this process. It was cool. Then Scott from Horizon Mechanical met us at the home just to make sure that we and the homeowner were satified with the work. We were, then he had us participate in a commercial that is going to go on Horizon Mechanicals website. We were so excited. This project was really turning out great. Then the people from GB3 Energy Solutions sealed the homeowners windows and did what is called a blow out. This means that they put the blower door back up and measure the amount of air that is escaping from the house to see the change in energy escaping from the home. Grant sent us an email later and it said that the air flow in the house went from 2600 cubic ft/minute to 1800 cubic ft/minute which is a big change when you look at it in terms of money.
During the week of the retrofit, during class we went around to different teachers in the school and personally gave them CFL (Compact Flourescent Bulbs). They were very appreciative and many of them took pictures with us, which we will post in another blog. We then took some of the bulbs and made a tower and wrote a thank you note to TIAA-CREF for being so nice as to donate the bulbs for our project. We then placed a bulb into the boxes of the rest of the teachers in the school, we wanted to do this to keep energy conservation on the minds of people in the school.
What a way to end the year. We didn't think we would ever get here, but we did and we have Goodwill Industries of Denver, Inc. GB3 Energy Solutions, TIAA-CREF, Horizon Mechanical and Denver Public Schools to thank for the success of this project. Man what are we going to do next year. Keep following our blog to find out.

Perl 6
Perl 6 Basics Tablet: Revision 33
Overview - Chapter: 0:History, 1:Design, 2:Basics, 3:Var, 4:Op, 5:IO, 6:{}, 7:Sub, 8:OOP, 9:Rx, 10:Meta
1st law of language redesign: Everyone wants the colon for their particular syntax.
Basics doesn't mean here easy but fundamental. Which mostly translates to how to format and reformat data (numbers, strings and more).
Please note that any Perl 6 source code is treated as unicode by default. Also use strict; and use warnings; are enabled implicitly. But the interpreter most likely also defaults to read code as Perl 5. To declare sources as Perl 6 you can write:
or just thast with keyword like module or class.
Unless you use blocks, a Perl program executes one statement after another in linear progression. They have to be separated by a semicolon (;), except before and after a closing curly brace, where it is optional.
$coderef = sub { fetch_data(); compute() }
Spaces and Indentation
Perl doesn't care about indentation. And spaces are still in many places without meaning. However these have become fewer.
Single Line
Like in Perl 5 and many other languages of its league, a "#" tells the compiler to ignore the rest of the line.
my $var = 'good'; # that code is boring
Multi Line
I many lines has to be commented, use #` followed by any pair of braces that surround the comment.
$things = #`( i wonder how many of these
Even POD is there to embedd documentation, it can be used just for inserting comments.
=begin comment
Quoting is like regular expression a sublanguage inside the main language with it's own syntactical rules. It is parsed by a special grammar as to be found in the special variable $~Q. The operator with the same name (the generic quoting operator) does almost nothing, just provides a mechanism to mark the beginning and end of text sequence. The examples in this chapter use almost every time slashes for that purpose, but any not alphanumerical character or pair of matching (bracing) character can be used as well.
Q /.../ or Q |...| or Q *...* or Q "..." or Q[...] ...
An extended delimiter mechanism is delivered by heredocs.
Inside of these delimiters, every character will be taken literally. Any additional meaning has to be added by quoting adverbs. Most of them have a short and a long name and some of the most useful have an additional syntax that replaces them altogether with the Q operator.
Single Quotes
No matter which string delimiter is chosen, sometimes he has to occur as a literal character inside the string too. In that case use single quotes with the adverb :single or one of the following aliases, from which ' ' ist maybe the best know. Its also the shortest and easy to understand, but don't allow to add other adverbs.
Q :single /.../;
Inside single quotes the backslash (\) "quotes" meaning: he liberates the following character from his special meaning. Or to put it simple \\ translates (or interpolates) to \ and \' to '. For anything more you need additional adverbs.
'Welcome in Larry\'s madhouse'
The following adverbs with their short or long version allow a very fine grained definition what to interpolate. The three dots mark here optional content, mostly parameter.
:b aka :backslash # control character (implies at least :q)
Q :b /\t\n/; # tab and new line character
Double Quotes
Double quoting combines all the previous mentioned adverbs for interpolation (also :q - implied by :b), thatswhy all the following are synonymous.
Q :s, :a, :h, :f, :c, :b /.../;
But further adverbs can also be added using q/.../ or qq/.../.
Quote Words
While other quote operators return a single string item, this one can return arrays because he splits the string on any whitespace (\s aka <ws>).
Q :words /.../;
Q :quotewords /.../; # qw/.../ with quote protextion
The second group of aliases mark a modified version, where single and double quoted strings (inside the quote) are treated as one word. Thats called quote protection.
my @steps = <one "two three">; # 3 steps to success: ["one", "\"two", "three\""]
Please note also that :quotewords (double pointy braces) implies :double (double quotes), which means all interpolation rules apply here also.
<$pi> eq '$pi'
The same pointy braces (quote operators) are also in used, when writing hash slices.
Are now normal quoted strings, only with a special delimiter, defined by the adverbs to and heredoc. Heredocs can be nested.
Q :to 'EOT';
To make templates in which variables and closures are evaluated, take the normal double quote and just add the adverb for the heredoc delimiter or define with other adverbs what exactly you want to have evaluated.
qq:heredoc 'EOT';
Pathstrings have their own quote operator. This way you get the warnings early if there is something incompatible with convention.
Q :path /.../;
Even being a completely different language then quoting on its own (as to be defined in $~Regex and $~P5Regex), regular expressions can be built using the general quoting operator with the right adverb.
Q :regex /.../ aka rx/.../
The following 3 aliases quote code that will be run immediately (on runtime) and replaced with the result.
Q :exec /.../;
In Perl 5 qx/.../ aka ... did a system call and not just run eval. To get that behaviour use:
qqx/$cmd @args[]/ # do system call and insert result, alias to that is gone
However there is yet another adverb for quasi quoting, meaning: the quoted code will be parsed and compiled into a abstract syntax tree (AST - internal representation of the compiler) during compile time. Result is the compiled AST. This is important when writing macros.
Q :code /.../;
Number Literals
Unlike strings, numbers don't need quoting. But if there is a non number character in it, there will be an error. Chars of a number definition are: (0-9,.,+,-,e,E,i,_) including the radix prefixes: (0b,0o,0d,0x) and the prefix for version numbering (v). The + and can act also as operator that convert into the numerical context, which still means: take from left to right all digits and stop with the first none number character.
A single underscore is allowed only between any two digits, delimiter helping readability.
3_456_789; # same as 3456789
$int = 2;
Radix Prefixes
0b binary - base 2, digits 0..1
General Radix Form
:10<42> # same as 0d42 or 42
Scientific Notation
$float = 60.2e23 # becomes automatically 6.02e24
Rational Number
To distinguish them from a division operation, you have to groupe them with braces.
As always, .perl gives you an almost source like code formatting which results here in 3/7. Adding .nude you get (3/7), the nude source code. There are 2 different immutable value types representing both rational number. FatRat has unlimited precision and Rat has just enough to be evaled into a Real type. When you explicitly type a variable to one o them, the braces become optional.
my Rat $pi_approx = 22/7;
Complex Number
have also there own immutable value type.
Version Number
v1.2.3 # okay
The .perl method returns a string that arranges any set of values in almost the same format, as the would be defined it source code. It's a built in Data::Dumper (pretty printer).
@a.perl # evals to: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The structure can be nested to any depth.
Small brother of sprinf that works as a method of one value.
moved from core language to a module.

PRINCETON, N.J. - Junior diver Katy Feng (Westford, Mass.) took home the 3-meter diving title with 306.25 points, good enough for an NCAA A consideration, in the final day of action at the 2013 Ivy League Championships. Her score helped lift the Big Green to a fifth place finish with 856 points, 141 points ahead of Penn.
Feng becomes the second Big Green diver to win an Ivy Championship in the last four years, joining senior Erica Serpico (Moorestown, N.J.) who took the 1-meter crown in 2010. Serpico took third place with a score of 288.25 ,also an NCAA A consideration. Feng earned the High Point Diver of the Meet honor for her efforts over the meet.
Olivia Samson (Clifton Park, N.Y.) placed eighth in the 1650 free with a time of 16:41.62 to start the evening finals setting the tone for the session.
Kendese Nangle (Kingston, Jamaica) closed the meet with another NCAA B time, her third of the meet, in the 200 back. She swam a 1:58.28, another school record and earned 25 points towards the team total with her fifth-place finish. Rebecca Butler (West Orange, N.J.) earned runner-up honors in the C Final with a time of 2:02.62.
Charlotte Kamai (Corte Madera, Calif.) continued her sprint freestyle dominance with a runner-up finish in the 100 free with a time of 50.57. Sasha Alcon (Fremont, Calif.) took 14th with a time of 51.14.
To cap the meet, the Big Green set a new school record in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:21.14, two seconds faster than the old record set back in 2009. Nangle, Mary Van Metre (Edina, Minn.), Siobhan Hengemuhle (Boulder, Colo.) and Kamai teamed for the final event of the meet. Nangle also set a new school record in the 100 free with a 50.22 in the leadoff of the relay.
Charlotte Williams (Boca Raton, Fla.) owned the C Final in the 200 breast with a time of 2:19.08, two seconds off a new school record. In the 200 fly, the Big Green had great swims. Dartmouth placed three in the B Final and took places 12-14 led by Kendall Farnham (Severna Park, Md.) with a time of 2:02.82
Nangle opened the final day of preliminary competition with a school record in the 200 back. The freshman touched the wall with a time of 1:57.68, which was also a NCAA B Time, her second of the meet. Her time also seeded her second for the evening finals.
The Big Green were well represented in the 100 free with Kamai taking ninth in the prelims with a time of 50.49, earning her a spot in the B Final. Alcon, Natalia Vecerek (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.) and Van Metre also qualified for the evening finals.
Fresh off her school record in the 100 breaststroke, Williams swam a 2:20.66, which qualified her for the C Final. In the 200 fly, Danielle Kerr led the Big Green squad placing 12th with a time of 2:02.25. Valerie Orellana (Arleta, Calif.) and Kendall Farnham (Severna Park, Md.) also reached the finals with 15th and 16th-place finishes.
Dartmouth concludes the 2013 Ivy League Championships with 16 new school records and a fifth place finish for the second consecutive season. In total, the Big Green set 14 of 19 possible records over the weekend.

Ramettes fall in opener in PIAA playoffs
ALTOONA – Johnsonburg girls basketball lost 47-26 to Bishop Guilfoyle in the first round of the PIAA Class A girls basketball playoffs held Saturday at Altoona High School. Coming into the game, the Ramettes knew they would have a challenge coming in against the Lady Marauders (25-2), the District 6 champion."To play that tough with a No. 1 seed, I told my girls 'I've never been so proud of you,'" Johnsonburg coach Mike Zilkofski said. "You hung in with them all game. I told them I was proud of the season they had and what they accomplished and to not hang their heads low."
