(Reuters) - Mobile software company Vringo Inc, best known for its video ringtones, is betting on recently acquired intellectual property to drive revenue growth as it battles several big names including Google Inc and ZTE Corp over infringement of its patents.
The company believes it can earn substantial revenue from its intellectual property at the center of the litigation, Vringo Chief Executive Andrew Perlman said. "We wouldn't be going through with (litigation) unless we are confident that we will get a positive outcome for us and our shareholders."
Shares of the company have gained about 56 percent since the beginning of the month following reports that its lawsuit against Google had merit.
Google's demand for a summary judgment was dismissed by a district judge on October 3, citing "genuine issues of material fact in dispute.
The lawsuit comes up for hearing on October 16, after the companies failed to reach a settlement on Tuesday, Perlman said.
Vringo inherited the lawsuit after it acquired Innovate/Protect (I/P), a company which specializes in monetizing intellectual property, in March.
I/P had filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AOL Inc, Google, IAC/InterActiveCorp-owned IAC Search & Media, Gannett Co Inc and Target Corp in 2011.
The lawsuit against Google involves two patents that I/P bought from Lycos, one of the biggest search engines of the 90's.
Vringo is seeking at least $696 million from Google, financial website iStockAnalyst had reported.
"It would be logical for Google to buy Vringo and then use them as a strategic patent weapon, for example, to sue Microsoft Corp," Maxim Group analyst John Tinker said.
Google declined to comment on the matter.
While Google is trying to fight it out, AOL partly settled the dispute in August paying $100,000.
"We settled with them (AOL) only for the use of their own in-house products, but not for their use of Google's products," said Perlman, who became CEO after the merger with I/P.
Vringo bought 500 wireless patents from Nokia in August to strengthen its intellectual property portfolio.
The company on Monday filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Chinese telecommunications equipment maker ZTE in the U.K. High Court of Justice.
The ZTE lawsuit involves patents acquired from Nokia, Perlman said.
He, however, declined to say if the company plans to pursue further lawsuits using the Nokia patents.
Shares of the company, which touched a life-high of $5.71 on Tuesday, closed at $4.67 on Wednesday on the American Stock Exchange. They have risen more than 300 percent since trading at 91 cents at the beginning of the year.

PHILADELPHIA - September 6, 2012 --Police have charged a Philadelphia man with imprisoning a deaf and mute victim so he could steal his Social Security checks.
Investigators said Thursday that 56-year-old Dwayne Young kept the man locked in a basement for four months while cashing his benefit checks.
Capt. Laurence Nodiff says Young threatened 63-year-old William Richardson into signing the checks.
Nodiff says police are investigating whether Young had committed similar acts before against his common-law wife, who died in March.
Police who raided Young's home on Sunday found Richardson locked in a basement.
Investigators say Young kidnapped Richardson in April near where he worked as a handyman in South Philadelphia.
Young was arraigned Wednesday and held on $1 million bail. Court records don't list an attorney for him.

|Kicker S10C Subwoofer
|Page 2
|All Pages
That was the tag line for the original Kicker Solo-Baric subwoofers, and it was pretty true. Back in the 90's, Kicker figured out a way to get a woofer to perform exceptionally well in small sealed enclosures. These were very popular woofers, as they had great output, sounded good, and took up about half of the space of most of the competitive product at the time. Back in those days, I was working for a competitive brand and the Solo-Baric woofers were the ones to beat! Well, cars certainly haven't gotten any bigger since then, so this year the folks at Kicker decided it was time to re-visit the concept. Technology however, has made some progress in the last 20 or so years and the new Kicker Solo Classic subwoofers have taken full advantage of that. Thanks to Ron Burnett, Kickers Sr. Marketing Communications Coordinator, I was fortunate enough to receive a new Kicker S10C woofer for testing.Cosmetics
Starting with only the basic performance premise of the original Solo-Baric series as a guideline, the new Solo Classic woofers are all new, with one piece, fully braced SoloKon cones, stamped steel baskets, radially ribbed rubber surrounds and more. Cosmetics are classic Kicker, the woofer has an aggressive, meaningful appearance, with a low gloss finish to the ribbed cone, and nice textured black powdercoat on the basket and back plate. With the exception of a tiny bit of adhesive showing around the cone/surround joint, the woofer looks very well finished.
The SoloKon cone is ribbed for added strength and rigidity, without increased mass. It's attached to the ribbed rubber surround with not only the usual adhesives, but it also has two rows of stitching for added strength and reliability under high power conditions. The rugged long-throw surround itself is a bit unusual, utilizing twenty radially placed ribs to improve linear cone motion. Underneath the cone, a Nomex spider provides mechanical control to the suspension, as well as centering for the 2-inch diameter, 4 ohm, high temperature dual copper voice coils. The tinsel leads connecting the four main speaker wire spring terminals, are woven into the spider to prevent lead slap and improve reliability. Even the attachment of the 10 gauge terminals to the basket has received special attention, with a hard epoxy type substance preventing accidental terminal loosening. A large 6.1-inch double stacked ferrite magnet assembly provides the magnetic motor force, and is protected with a black molded rubber "boot".
Having some experience with Kicker woofers, and knowing they recommend breaking in the woofers before beginning serious evaluations, I made sure the woofer was fully broken-in before I did any listening or testing. The break-in of any woofer can be accomplished simply by a few hours of enthusiastic use, or even a couple of weeks of low to moderate listening. Because I don't have that kind of time, I used a 10Hz sinewave, at about 40 watts, with the woofer in a free-air environment. I chose 10Hz, because as I'm sure you know, with every halving of frequency, you increase cone excursion by 4 times, without increasing power. Very low frequencies make the woofer move a lot, which in turn allows the suspension of the woofer to loosen up, and normalize. It was during this very low frequency break-in that I noticed, this woofer has some serious excursion capabilities! After I was satisfied the break-in was complete, and while I was waiting for the woofer to completely cool, I installed it in a 0.65 cubic foot sealed enclosure, per the suggestion in the owners manual. Read it. Learn it. Know it. Live it!
Also in the manual was a very handy "cut list" in case you wanted to build your own enclosure. The Kicker S10C's Thiele-Small parameters are also in the manual for those of you who like to play with computerized enclosure designs. But as I found out, there's no need for tweaking box volume. Save the time, and just use the Kicker recommended volume.
My listening began with some old school, favorite bass tracks from Rush, Deep Purple and The Who. Listening to the late, great John Entwistle, who to me was the Jimi Hendrix of bass guitar, and his mind bending, giant bass lines was a real treat, and I began to understand Kicker had done it again. Switching sonic gears, I loaded up some big band tunes with plucked string bass, and drums that were recorded acoustically with coincident stereo microphones. Being something of a drummer myself, I like to use these tracks to see if the woofer system actually sounds like real drums, and the Solo Classic definitely did. The Solo Classic's definition of the detail in this type of music was very good, and as always with really good gear, you just want to keep turning it up!
If heavy bass is your thing, the Solo Classic won't disappoint there either. I played several Bass heavy tracks from 50 Cent, Nelly, Pussycat Dolls, Nine Inch Nails, and the woofer handled them with ease, right up to, and occasionally over the 450 watt power rating!
I was really pleased with the amount of output as well, the single 10-inch woofer had no problem filling my very large listening room with smooth, clean "round" sounding bass. The woofer is very musical, and it has quite a bit more output than I'm use to from a single 10-inch speaker, particularly when it's in such a small box.

Narrow Selection
Torah Crowns
It is a popular tradition within Judaism to decorate and beautify objects used to perform the commandments, or mitzvot. One of the best ways to show respect for the commandments and show how beloved they are to us is to decorate a Torah scroll with various silver and gold Ornaments. One of the most popular ornaments used to decorate the Torah are silver Torah crowns.
Torah crowns are exactly what their name suggests – crowns. They are almost always made of silver and have bells hanging off o the sides. Inside there are two holes which attach the crown to the top of the Torah.
When selecting a Torah crown, the options are endless. Although the Torah crown is almost always made of a precious metal such as brass, copper, silver and gold, almost anything can be done in order to create a beautiful Torah crown. The crown can have Sterling Silver or gold bells or both if you choose to have both. Some of the most common Torah crown designs have Jerusalem or the 12 tribes on them, with a miniature representation of the Luchot, or Tablets, on top. It is possible to combine all of the together if you choose to. Torah crowns with the 12 tribes on them often have the symbol of each tribe engrave or molded into the crown as well. Other popular designs are simpler and consist of vines and flowers with a verse from the Torah along one of the edges.
A Torah crown is a great way to honor a relative or mark a special celebration. By engraving the date of the occasion or lifecycle event or the name of the relative you wish to honor on the Torah crown, your event or relative will never be forgotten as it will be visible for all to see.
Torah Crowns Guide
Because the Torah is the most sacred text in Judaism, the tradition is to adorn the scroll with expensive silver piece. These pieces include Rimonim, Torah Pointers, Breastplates and Torah Crowns.
What is a Torah Crown?
Torah crowns are exactly what image their name evokes – a crown that sits atop a closed Torah scroll. The vast majority of Torah Crowns have a solid, uniform exterior although some made not be completely sealed. They are hollow and typically have two large rings at or near the bottom. The rings are placed over the top holders of the Torah and they keep the Torah in place.
Materials Used
Torah crowns are almost always made from Sterling Silver and sometimes have gold accenting. This is because of the Jewish tradition to use the most expensive material for the purpose of Mitzvot as well as the fact that other materials are more fragile than metals.
Decorations on a Torah Crown
Torah Crowns are usually decorated with filigree floral designs or Judaica themes. Some of the most popular Judaica themes are the names of the Twelve Tribes of Israel and their different symbols. The top most section often is a representation of the Tablets or a small crown echoing that which a king would wear. Other popular designs include representations of Jerusalem. Stars of David are often incorporated into the design. Bells are also a common decoration on Torah Crowns and their purpose is to announce to the public that the word of G-d is present and to act accordingly. Gemstones and crystals are typically not present although this is possible for those who would like them present.
Torah Crowns very often feature verses from the Torah, specifically verses that speak of the Torah's divine nature and the Torah being the source of life. One especially popular verse is the verse that reads in Hebrew "Ki Mitzion Tezteh Torah U'D'var HaShem MiYerushalayim", or "From Zion comes the Torah and the word of G-d from Jerusalem". This verse is very often accompanied by a depiction of Jerusalem.
It is uncommon for people to own a Torah. Consequently, Torah Crowns are seldom personalized. However, because these items are often donated to Synagogues to adorn Torah Scrolls, they are often in memory or in honor of a loved one. For this reason it is possible to have names molded or engraved into the crown.
For More Information
For more information about Torah Crowns or other Judaica items, feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.

La Mortella is the spectacular subtropical and mediterranean garden developed since 1956 by the late Susana Walton, Argentinian wife of the British composer Sir William Walton.
In 1956 Lady Walton asked the famous landscape architect Russell Page to provide a design for the layout of the garden that would include the dramatic volcanic rocks. The design of the garden was conceived with refinement and ability, taking advantage of the suggestive natural landscape with its openings towards the Mediterranean Sea.
La Mortella is divided into two parts: a lower garden, called The Valley, and an upper garden on The Hill, terraced with retaining walls. The many areas of the garden are linked by a network of walks, paths, ramps and steps that climb the dry walls allowing the visitors to reach the upper hill, where they can enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay of Forio.
The garden spreads for about 2 hectares and has a major collection of exotic, rare plants that is constantly widened and developed, year after year. The diversity and wealth of the collection is such that La Mortella can be considered a botanic garden. Fountains, ponds, streams are scattered everywhere and allow the cultivation of a various array of water-loving plants such as papyrus, lotuses and tropical water lilies. The garden has three tropical greenhouses: the Victoria House, the Orchid House and the Temple of the Sun.
Interesting garden features are the Thai House, a quiet place of meditation surrounded by an Orient-inspired garden, with lotuses, peonies, bamboos and oriental maples; the Crocodile Pool, still in the Hill Garden is fed by a stream that runs among olive trees and agapanthuses; the Nymphaeum, a surprising formal corner emerging from the Mediterranean maquis, and William's Rock, where the ashes of the late composer are kept.
Throughout the world garden lovers and plantsmen know and appreciate Lady Walton's work and passion which produced this enchanted garden. Her genius and creativity are celebrated by an orchid hybrid that was created in 2005 by the Italian Orchid breeder sig. Pozzi: Miltassia Lady Susana Walton. This can be admired today in the Orchid House at La Mortella.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Ruff Rider (cont.)
There's a motorcycle parked nearby that you can jump on. You could use a car here, but Dwayne's friend moves fast, and you're gonna need to be able to bob in and out of traffic in a way that only a motorcycle can do. Follow the red dot representing your target on the HUD, and when you can, begin taking shots at him, preferably with your Uzi, but a pistol works too. When you finally manage to hit him, he'll fall off his bike, but he's strapping, so be prepared for a gun fight. Making matters worse, he seems to have quite a bit of health. Either way, do him in, then grab the money he drops.
This high-speed chase and the violence that followed will have certainly drawn the attention of the cops in the area. So, you're gonna have to lose them before you get any more instructions on what to do next. Try to retain your motorcycle, if you can, and utilize one of Algonquin's many straight roads to lose the cops in a heartbeat. Once you do, you'll then receive a message to meet Dwayne at Cluckin' Bell on Burlesque. Head over there and speak with Dwayne once inside. You'll hand over the money, let him know that you either let his ex live or killed her, and then you'll be on your way, leaving the depressed Dwayne behind... for now.

This is a story.
In a dojo there was one senior student who was stronger than all the others. During kumite, he would routinely go with each of the other senior students and defeat them one after the other. Over time, he grew very cocky and would belittle the other students. He took great pride in embarrassing them.
One night, this student and one of the others (whom he had belittled) went out to a restaurant. As they left, two muggers crept up in the darkness. All of a sudden, they struck at the backs of the heads of the students with bricks.
The senior student was struck on the head and died on the spot.
The junior student, who had always been brutalized, had developed a keen sense of awareness and easily moved out of the way. He quickly disarmed the muggers, knocked them out, and waited with them until the police arrived.
Later, the student was asked how he had survived when his senior had died.
"He was very good at beating up people, " explained the student. "Because of him, I learned how to avoid getting beaten up."
In Karate, learning not to get hit is almost as important as learning how to hit. Even if you can hit hard, it won't do much good if you get hit in the head with a brick first.

Without intending any disrespect, I can't imagine a worse choice for the next CEO than Mr. Elop. His blind fealty to Windows at Nokia cost the stock an 85% drop on his watch. Microsoft needs new directions and new ideas, not another Windows loyalist.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
I would personally welcome an MS destruction by Elop mismanagement. This would be a correct ending to the Nokia story.
However, I guess Elop is less stupid than he pretends to be at Nokia. His actions were solely designed to destroy Nokia own ecosystem for the unique benefit of Microsoft. As such, he performed admirably well. I guess he did not gave a damn for stupid European workers. Destroying a Europe based super power is, after all, a good thing for US dominance.
But as MS leader, I'm sure he won't do any of the "mistakes" he deliberately undertaken at Nokia's head. Hence his nuisance will be far less.
Nonetheless, he proved he could destroy a company, he still has to prove he can run one. There's no element that prove this direction, so MS will likely be in trouble under his management.
Which is also why I also believe that, ultimately, he will not be selected. US billionaires are too smart to let someone like him destroy such a money-making company.
But that's too bad. I actually love to dream about the first scenario : Elop at the top management of MS, making every possible mistake, and bringing its employer to its knees.


text: I definitely recommend the Johns Hopkins plan if it's convenient for you. Everybody I know has really loved the Johns Hopkins primary care, I have heard nothing bad. We go to the one in Odenton, but I assume the quality is the same across the network. Like I said, we have a pediatrician who specializes in integrative/holistic medicine and she's been great. My husband and both the kids go there, and we have yet to have a bad experience. I have never been to Andrews, but it sounds like it's for the best. Since I'm the active duty member, I have to get my healthcare at the Army clinic on Ft Meade and that one is really bad too.

1Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. 2And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 5And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. 7And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith. —Acts 6:1-7
Christ-exalting churches come in many shapes and sizes. Worship styles vary. Outreach and evangelism can look very different. But there is one thing that most church members and most church leaders would agree on: we want a growing church that is making new disciples and making better disciples. Just like the church in the book of Acts.
What made the church in Acts and the individuals in Acts different from most of us? Why did the Gospel seem to have such an impact as the Holy Spirit worked? I find the answer in prokartereo, the Greek word which means to be devoted to. Notice how this word shows up in the early part of Acts:
The church in Acts was intentional about its priorities. Many good things compete for our attention on a daily, even moment-by-moment basis; but doing a lot of good things will not necessarily result in substantive, eternal impact. In the same way, our churches will not imitate the church in Acts on accident.
It comes back to that word "devoted." What you and I devote ourselves to in this life matters. More than that, we are defined by what we devote ourselves to. The same is true of our churches as well.
In the book of Acts, the believers were careful to devote themselves to prayer. That does not mean they had occasional, or even regular prayer meetings. They were devoted to prayer; they were obsessed with prayer. Why? Because they knew that God would do extraordinary things.
We can only be devoted to so many things. Honestly, at the pace of life in the twenty-first century, most of us can only be devoted to a few things. As this year winds down and we begin to think about the upcoming year, we need to think about how we are investing our devotion.
My prayer for us today is that the Spirit of God would soften our hearts and bring clarity to our minds so we can be fully devoted to God's priorities for our lives and our churches. —Luke Ahrens
Prayer – Almighty Father, please soften my heart and clear my mind so I can fully invest my devotion to You and Your priorities. You will need to create that devotion in my heart, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.

|System: PS3, Xbox 360, PC
|Dev: Treyarch
|Pub: Activision
|Release: November 13, 2012
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
At the moment, strike force ops are woven into the single player campaign, but we weren't given any information about the possibility of a multiplayer mode. In fact, Activision was particularly tight lipped about the multiplayer component in Black Ops 2. We know that all of the multiplayer maps will be set in 2025, which means that gamers should be able to make full use of the mechs, drones and whatever other futuristic weaponry they happen to enjoy. We haven't, however, seen anything new about specific game modes, map design, or zombies. Treyarch has been talking about zombies for months, though, so you probably have nothing to worry about.
We did get a sneak peak at a particularly cool new gun during the single player campaign; a sniper rifle that can be charged to inflict more serious damage. Just imagine the sniper rifle from Team Fortress 2, and put a more realistic skin around it.
It's obvious that Activision and Treyarch are really pulling out the big guns for Black Ops 2. Treyarch recently expanded its staff so that it rivals that of Infinity Ward, which means that IW's superiority complex should start wearing off soon. However, the fact that they've rolled the clock forward has me worried that Black Ops 2 will lose some of the unique personality that came from the Cold War setting. Since Black Ops 2's story line is a continuation of the previous title, I do have some faith. Either way, I guess we'll probably have to wait until Call of Duty: XP for any new information, which is depressing. Hopefully, Activision will run a few more double points weekends so I can drown my sorrows in enemy corpses.

One of the more interesting Windows 8 tablets we've see here at Mobile World Congress is Fujitsu's Arrow Tab. Featuring a solid 10.1" IPS "Super Clear Panel" display, microUSB, SD card expansion, 2GB of RAM and 64GB SSD. It even sports "the world's thinnest Windows 8 tablet" title.
But in addition to all of that and being super light (540 grams) the 1.8GHz Atom powered device is waterproof too. Sure, you can't take it SCUBA diving but drop in the bathtub or knock it in the pool and you should be good to go (it's actually good to about 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, according to Fujitsu).
The Arrows comes in two flavors QH55/J with Wi-Fi and Q582/G with LTE and this Arrow is aimed at Japan. No word on price just yet.

Antec Mini Skeleton Review
Recently Mini ITX setups have been getting more popular among users. Products like Nvidia's ION have been making it easier for users to get their hands on these mini setups. These mini setups do however, come with a challenge. This challenge is finding a case small enough to fit your hardware. That's right! I said a case small enough. There's absolutely no point in purchasing a Mini ITX motherboard, and then shoving it in a mid or full tower case. Smaller Pico cases can be found across the internet, but they tend to be costly. Some users will go as far as to make the mini case themselves. Either way, the case is important.
What better way to keep your hardware from being out in the open, then putting your hardware out in the open? Apparently Antec feels that having your components open to the environment is the way to go. For this reason they manufactured the very popular Antec Skeleton case. Well Antec has done it again, only this time the case is smaller. The Antec Mini Skeleton is designed for Mini ITX systems. Just how well will this baby perform? Let's find out.
Closer Look:
The Antec Mini Skeleton actually arrived in a cubic box. The front of the box used a black and yellow color scheme, and showed a sketch of what the case looks like. The back of the box showed Antecs logo, as well as a few of the case's specifications. The top of the box shows the top of the Skeleton. We can also see that when powered on, the top fan's blue LEDs will light up. The sides of the box show the Skeleton's sides.
The case itself came wrapped in plastic, and was securely wedged between two pieces of foam. Also packaged with the case were a user manual, and a box of extra goodies. The box of extra goodies weren't actually filled with extra accessories, but rather extra pieces of the case. These included two external 2.5" drive bays, as well as a PCI bracket. Also included was the power cable, some zipties, a Molex to Sata adapter, and a bag of screws.
Now that we've seen how it was packaged, let's take a closer look at the case itself!

And then this comment from the local Bikesafe chairman:
Mr van Laar said the Principle Bicycle Network, developed with authorities, needed investment to make the roads safer for all users. Cyclists were not above the law and many could work on their attitudes, as could drivers, he said.
Relevance ?? I'm not sure whether Mr van Laar has an agenda here, or the Geelong Advertiuser.

'Here Lies Love' review: David Byrne disco
David Byrne does not lack ambition.
For his first musical, "Here Lies Love," it wasn't enough for the Talking Heads founder and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer to tackle the rise and fall of former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos, with all its personal and political intrigue intact. Using historical texts, TV footage and oral histories to inform the lyrics, Byrne, with help from dance artist and producer Fatboy Slim, crafted a show filled with memorable songs and disco-worthy beats. He then sets the entire package in a makeshift Marcos-era Manila club, with audience members standing on the dance floor and action taking place all around them.
The result is spectacular. While a working knowledge of Filipino history makes Byrne's accomplishment extra-impressive, it isn't necessary to follow the story of Imelda, played with sweetness and steel by Ruthie Ann Miles. Imelda wins her hometown beauty pageant and moves to Manila where she meets up-and-coming Senator Ferdinand Marcos (Jose Llana) and marries him 11 days later. She explains the whirlwind courtship in the funky "11 Days," a number that looks and sounds like it could have come straight from Janet Jackson's "Control" days, a thrilling jam that makes the most of both the talented ensemble and the staging that keeps audience members looking all around to make sure they're not missing anything. (The immersive elements of "Here Lies Love" generally work -- especially when the DJ gets the crowd to line dance and karaoke longtime Filipino club favorites -- though during one quiet moment in the show, it was distracting.)
When Marcos gets elected president, he and Imelda begin to get corrupted by the new power and its trappings, opposed at every turn by Ninoy Aquino, Imelda's ex-boyfriend. Aquino is played by Conrad Ricamora as equal parts Barack Obama and Byrne, culminating marvelously in "The Fabulous One," a hip-hop influenced takedown of Imelda's jet-set lifestyle being financed by the economically struggling Filipino people.
As dizzying as the well-choreographed numbers on the multiple stages and the driving disco beat are during "Here Lies Love," the most memorable song is a quiet, acoustic one, "God Draws Straight," taken from oral histories of participants in The People Power Revolution of 1986. "You might think you are lost," the show's DJ sings in the hopeful anthem, "but then you will find that God draws straight, but with crooked lines."
It also serves as the show's heart. "Here Lies Love" is inventive and glamorous, a must-see experience made even more worthwhile by the hopefulness and sweetness at its core.
WHAT "Here Lies Love"
WHERE The Public Theater, 425 Lafayette St., Manhattan
INFO $80.50-$95.50; 212-967-7555; publictheater.org
BOTTOM LINE David Byrne tells the story of Imelda Marcos with a disco beat.

Bentley Unveils ?World?s First Luxury Hybrid?
Bentley has taken the wraps off what?s claimed to be the world?s first luxury hybrid car, the Bentayga Hybrid.
In Bentley?s first step towards full electrification, the plug-in hybrid model offers the best of both worlds, combining an advanced electric motor with a powerful new turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine.
The Bentayga Hybrid will be the company?s most efficient model with CO2 emissions of 75g/km.
With an electric-only range of more than 31 miles, a full charge of the battery from a domestic household socket will take seven hours 30 minutes. However, customers with an industrial connection installed at home can reduce the charge time to just two hours 30 minutes.
Bentley has collaborated with renowned designer, Philippe Starck, to create a concept for a stylish recharging unit for Bentayga Hybrid customers – the Power Dock.
The statement piece showcases the exquisite attention to detail you would expect from both Bentley and Starck, using sustainable and elegant materials. Utilising pressed eco-linen with bio-sourced thermosetting resin, the domed frontage is fashioned using a hot-pressure aluminium casting.
The elegant Power Dock is designed to keep charging cables neat and safe at home, providing a luxurious touch to the act of hybrid recharging and acting as a functional piece of art that will enhance any home.
Best of Both Worlds
The Hybrid is the newest addition to the existing range of Bentayga models and features all the flexibility associated with the W12, V8 Diesel and V8 variants, offering the same permanent four-wheel drive system and four on-road modes – Sport, Bentley, Comfort and Custom.
The Automatic Start-Stop switch is replaced with a control for the three E Modes – EV Drive, Hybrid Mode and Hold Mode. These will enable the driver to manage battery usage during a journey.
The Bentayga Hybrid features a revised infotainment screen and Driver?s Information Panel with E Motion information designed to provide details on performance, consumption and energy source.
The traditional tachometer that displays engine speed is replaced with a dial showing when the car is operating in pure EV Drive, or engine speed if the combustion engine is operating. A battery status dial replaces the coolant temperature gauge.
The infotainment screen can display energy flow in each of the three E Modes, showing whether the vehicle is being powered by energy supplied by the battery, or the combustion engine – or whether energy is flowing back to the battery in order to charge it.
To maximise efficiency, the vehicle uses satellite navigation information to calculate the best usage of electric motor and engine for every journey.
Bentley says the Hybrid ?feels and rides like a true Bentley, providing the refinement, effortless performance and exquisitely tranquil cabin environment? for which the luxury British brand is famed.

12th October 2017, 08:26 | Huddersfield
The 24-year-old Ireland international and former Leeds Rhinos academy player will join a host of former Bulls team-mates at the John Smith's Stadium, including Oliver Roberts, Lee Gaskell, Paul Clough and Adam O'Brien.
"I'd actually spoken to Adam O'Brien before the move and he had nothing to say but good things about the club and that made my decision a bit easier," Roche said. "It will be good to get behind some other experienced players and hopefully I'll get some appearances under my belt."
Giants coach Rick Stone said: "He's a young lad we feel deserves an opportunity in full-time Super League."

From Wikipedia: " In 1987 Honeywell purchased land in the Black Hills of South Dakota with a plan of creating {a} testing site there. Honeywell Project members worked in Minneapolis to support a group of white ranchers and Native Americans that called themselves the "Cowboy and Indian Alliance" or "CIA". The Honeywell Project reasoned that if Honeywell could not find a place to reliably test its weapons it would be unable to manufacture weapons of sufficient quality to sell to the military. In the end Honeywell was unable to install its testing site anywhere and Honeywell converted the land into a sanctuary for wild horses." Tilton volunteered with and supported Davidov over several decades.

The majority of our administrative, program, and leadership teams work from this location.
In Mequon, we are proud to serve our members and community each summer at the Hy & Richard Smith JCC Water Park, and all year long at our Gan Ami Mequon early education center.
The Jewish Community Pantry, a joint effort of the JCC and the Women's Division of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, is located in the heart of Milwaukee at 2930 West Center Street.
The Albert and Ann Deshur JCC Rainbow Day Camp, the home to thousands of summer memories, is located on 90 beautiful acres of land in Fredonia, Wisconsin. This location is also home to the Daniel M. Soref Retreat Center.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Dow components Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot Inc. are expected to headline a parade of retail earnings next week, with investors looking for clues about the state of consumers heading into the crucial fourth-quarter holiday season.
For the third quarter, Home Depot HD, -0.64% is estimated to see profit rising to 70 cents a share from 60 cents in the same period a year earlier, with sales increasing to $17.9 billion from $17.3 billion, FactSet data showed. Its smaller rival Lowe's Cos. LOW, +0.03% is expected to have flat per-share profit growth with sales increasing to $11.91 billion from $11.85 billion, according to FactSet. See Sandy's retail impact.
See a reporter's personal account of Sandy: Life in a city of darkness.
Home Depot reports on Tuesday. Lowe's on Nov. 19. Both companies are expected to see some sales lift in the third quarter from shoppers getting ready for superstorm Sandy, analysts said, adding the lift would continue in the fourth quarter with repair and rebuilding work from the storm, which caused widespread damage in New York, New Jersey and other areas of the East Coast.
"The focus will be on the outlook for demand, inventories, line reviews, promotional plans (particularly in appliances around Black Friday)," said Raymond James analyst Budd Bugatch.
For Wal-Mart WMT, +0.80% and Target TGT, +0.75% both of which report on Thursday, some analysts said attention will be on what the discount chains have in store for the holiday season, with little expectation for them to raise full-year outlooks. Wal-Mart is expected to see profit rising to $1.07 a share from 97 cents a share with sales increasing to $114.4 billion from $109.5 billion, FactSet data showed.
Target is expected to see profit declining to 78 cents a share from 82 cents a share with sales rising to $16.6 billion from $16.4 billion, FactSet data showed.
"We expect a heavily promotional holiday season (with Wal-Mart sounding the most aggressive), and we sense Target will stay disciplined and like last year, may not chase the discounts of others," said Morgan Stanley analyst Mark Wiltamuth. "We like (Target) shares as a value idea heading into 2013 as valuation could expand on investor enthusiasm over the Target Canada launch in March/April. We believe (Wal-Mart) will need to see a U.S. (same-store sales) acceleration or (per-share profit) upside to keep the shares moving."
Other retailers on tap next week include T.J. Maxx parent TJX Cos. TJX, +2.03% and luxury retailer Saks Inc. US:SKS on Tuesday; Office supplies chain Staples Inc. US:SPLS and teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch ANF, +1.65% on Wednesday; clothing chain Gap Inc. GPS, -0.11% and Kmart parent Sears Holdings Corp. US:SHLD on Thursday and athletic-shoe retailer Foot Locker Inc. FL, -1.02% on Friday.
Electronics retailer Best Buy BBY, -2.44% is hosting an analyst meeting in New York on Tuesday.
So far, despite mixed results and outlooks from those that have reported, the retail sector is looking to fare better than the other market segments. While J.C. Penney Co.'s JCP, -2.16% big disappointing loss on Friday took 1.7 percentage points off a third-quarter average estimated profit growth of 6.9% for 120 retailers tracked by Retail Metrics, the segment's growth still outpaces the 0.2% estimated average decline of the S&P 500 components, Retail Metrics data showed. Time to warm up to J.C. Penney yet?
Among about 50 retailers that have reported their results, 60% have beaten Wall Street expectations while 28% have missed.
"While we are still early in the third quarter earnings season, it's a bit disconcerting that the percentage of retailers beating expectations is at just 60%, below the long-term average of 61%," said Ken Perkins of Retail Metrics, adding the 28% that missed was also above the long-term trend of 19% that fell short. "This is especially so given the strength of back to school sales."
Another 12% of retailers that reported met estimates.
Implied or actual fourth-quarter outlooks from chains such as Macy's Inc. M, +0.63% and Kohl's Corp. KSS, +2.16% have been less stellar than expected. The holiday quarter outlook has been overshadowed by how Hurricane Sandy that led to store closings in the early part of November will hurt sales during the quarter and whether retailers will be able to make up for all of them.
Meanwhile, while cost control and other initiatives have been able to help Office Depot ODP, -1.70% and OfficeMax US:OMX offset declining demand and deliver upside in bottom-line results, the still high unemployment rate and the pending fiscal cliff issue remain an overhang over consumer spending heading into the holiday season, analysts said. Office supplies chains revamp amid lower sales.
So far, retailers are looking to be aggressive in unveiling their holiday promotions and plans early to engage consumers. Wal-Mart this week said that it's unleashing its Black Friday promotions two hours earlier this year at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving while Sears will open its namesake chain at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving also, compared with at 4 a.m. on Black Friday last year. Wal-Mart has also said it'll be aggressive this year in adding marketing and cutting prices in gaining a price edge against its competition. How retailers are getting your holiday attention
Retailers also are trying to turn the increased mobile device use into their advantage. J.C. Penney is featuring free Wi-Fi in its stores and using mobile devices to check out consumers. Against increased online competition, Target and Best Buy have said they are offering price matching guarantee against select online rivals.

When Chris Olley revealed The Death Of Six By Seven approximately 12 months ago, few would have predicted it to herald a rebirth instead. However, that's exactly what's happened if Love And Peace And Sympathy is anything to go by. With former Six By Seven band members James Flower and Pete Stevenson on board, it was only a matter of time before some of their old chemistry clicked into place. The addition of ex-Lotus guitarist Martin Cooper followed by former Placebo drummer Steven Hewitt further down the line confirmed the arrival of Six By Seven MK3, and with it arguably their strongest collection of songs in over a decade.
While Olley is quick to point out Love And Peace And Sympathy wasn't just borne out of the band's reformation, it's clear from the outset that the each individual sum of its parts makes their own vital contribution here. Listen to the sanguine yet melancholic 'Fall Into Your Arms' for example; Olley intoning "I can drink myself to sleep, but I can't keep myself awake"; or the broodingly intense 'Sympathy' ("I wonder who you want to be, all this love and sympathy") for an insight into his enthralling, occasionally schizophrenic persona. Then there's the rhythm section of bass player Stevenson and sticksman Hewitt that helps drive each one of Love And Peace And Sympathy's nine compositions piece-by-piece, sometimes to the point of exhaustion but never without good reason.
Indeed, what really stands out about Love And Peace And Sympathy is the way every song expands into a whole new level of intensity, seemingly as a gateway to the next. Opener 'Change', based around a haunting piano-led intro slowly grows into a monstrous, noise-infused ballad of epic proportions, eventually collapsing in a heap at the final hurdle, probably under the strain of its own weight. Again, Olley is in fine voice, declaring "Nothing here is right for way" before saying "I don't want to make you change." As unbelievable as that may be based on past reputation, here his sentiments are delivered with a brutal honesty and heartfelt passion capable of reducing grown men's knees to jelly.
With six of the nine pieces clocking in at over five-and-a-half minutes or longer, there's clearly no room for half measures here. When Six By Seven do venture towards poppier climates - and remember Olley wrote some of the finest skewered anthems of his generation like 'IOU Love' not so long back - they're blessed with a jagged edge that turns 'More' into a bitter parting shot ("I don't want you crawling back") and 'Crying' into an austere, if begrudgingly sentimental ("We can't go back in time, nothing can hurt us now") lament.
It's monumental brooder 'Truce', though, that really encapsulates both band and record in all its glory. Just 13 seconds short of the nine minutes mark and crafted around a lolloping, looped groove that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Neu! record four decades ago, Olley and Cooper's guitars growing fractionally heavier at each instrumental segment. Listen carefully and its quite possibly the sound of a nervous breakdown set to music, yet utterly insatiable with each subsequent hearing. If ever any doubts remained as to Chris Olley and co's resurgence they're firmly confounded well before 'Truce' reaches its feedback heavy finale.
Welcome back Six By Seven, very much alive and kicking with the rage and fury of a thousand suns.

Copper Pendant Lights in the Kitchen
Lately I've been drawn to bright, shiny objects, particularly copper pendant lights. Copper is so gorgeous, and works well in everything from sinks to cookware and kitchen tools. But I think these smooth, shiny lights are my favorite use yet. They're a little bit 70's retro, a little bit futuristic, both warm and cool-looking. What's not to like?
The orb lights above are likely made by Tom Dixon, but the other shapes are just as fetching. Interested in getting the look for yourself? Check out a few shopping resources below:
Copper Pendant Light Resources
• Copper Shade Pendant by Tom Dixon, $610 from Ylighting
• Mr. Cooper Pendant, $840 from Merchant No. 4
• Stanley Cooper Original Pendant Light, $948AUD by Dunlin
Do you have copper lights in your kitchen? How do you feel about this look?
