By George, half a century on it's still a good thing when Gershwin music is front and center. During the next few days two Southern California orchestras are turning their focus to brothers George and Ira.
On Saturday, Michael Feinstein conducts the Pasadena Pops in what promises to be a delve-deep inside their canon. Then Tuesday, the Los Angeles Philharmonic's program at the Hollywood Bowl features two of George Gershwin's orchestral scores, "Cuban Overture" and "Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture."
Gershwin music played by local orchestras taps into a very poignant moment in Southern California music history. In February 1937, George Gershwin led musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, as well as other players, in two benefit concerts for a local musicians fund.
It was one of the rare occasions when the composer conducted in public.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
Additionally, he soloed on piano playing some of his own works. At the keyboard during the playing of his "Concerto in F," Gershwin made a puzzling mistake, leaving out a simple passage. Pianist and bon vivant Oscar Levant, a close friend, was in the audience and afterward said he was shocked at the lapse.
This turned out to be the first public hint at a deadly, unstoppable tragedy. Gershwin was suffering from an undiagnosed and rapidly progressing brain tumor. Within five months he lapsed into a coma and, on July 11, a few hours after emergency surgery, George Gershwin died.
"That he would die at just 38 is truly a tragedy in the history of American music," said Feinstein during an interview at his Hollywood Hills home earlier this year.
"He was still writing for the movies, but he was also actively planning to work on a second opera. There is a string quartet written, though only the viola part remains that we know of. Plus, popular music was constantly changing -- the swing era, for instance, is just surging; how would he have responded?"

Feinstein's preoccupation with these questions is not just academic, but an interesting facet of his exploration into the life and music of the Gershwins in the form of a recent book that is a must-read for anyone in the thrall of George and Ira.
"The Gershwins and Me" was published last year and its genesis comes from Feinstein's six-year association with Ira Gershwin as the lyricist's personal archivist that began in 1977. This was a key starting point for the 30 years-plus Feinstein has been playing their music, and the access he was afforded gives the book its unique insights into the Gershwins.
The book is organized into 12 chapters, arranged chronologically through the Gershwins' careers. The text, which delves deeply into their professional and personal lives, is supplemented with in-depth parsings of 12 Gershwin tunes, which Feinstein sings on a CD that accompanies the book.
Given his personal association with the Gershwins, it's no surprise that Saturday night's program -- similar to the two earlier concerts programmed by Feinstein this summer during his initial season conducting the Pasadena Pops -- will include musical rarities, largely in the form of arrangements that have not been heard performed live before.

"George wrote the music for the song 'Love Walked In' in 1930, but Ira didn't do lyrics for it until 1937, for the 1938 movie 'The Goldwyn Follies,' " said Feinstein.
"The song was later a hit for a lot of people. But I was taken with a version done for a 1959 Cyd Charisse TV special and this hasn't been heard live previously.
"I have also generously been granted access to several pieces of music from the Fred Astaire-Audrey Hepburn film 'Funny Face' which also have never been performed live before and these are on the bill."
Feinstein was reflective anticipating Saturday's concert.
"You know, I always say -- and I do mean -- that each show is personal to me, in one way or another. But the Gershwins' music is indelible, it is woven into our cultural history, has made American music what it is. So I may not show it at the podium, but be aware that I am honored to conduct this program."

Rams replenishing ranks with underclassmen
Team: Pleasant Ridge baseball
Last year's record: 6-13
Coach: Mike Koontz
Coach's record: third year as head coach, overall record 14-24
Key returnees:
* Nate Amos, sophomore catcher; hit .317 with 10 RBIs last year
* Sean Spurlock, junior first baseman/pitcher; hit .405 and seven RBIs in 2012
* Brad Yonts, junior third baseman/pitcher; was a .304 hitter with 20 RBIs and eight home runs last season
* Jason Simonis, junior outfielder; batted .476 plus 11 RBIs in 2012
* Logan McKinney, junior pitcher
Newcomers to watch:
* Jacob Rush, freshman
* Jared Schmalstieg, freshman
* Brennan Hollinger, freshman
Team Outlook: STRENGTHS ― Youth will be served by the Pleasant Ridge 2013 squad.
Yet, with a group of talented youngsters, the team returns a core of potent bats led by Brad Yonts, who spanked eight home runs last year.
WEAKNESSES ― Pitching and inexperience highlight the deficiencies of this year's Rams' team.
The pitching staff is led by Spurlock and Yonts, but behind that depth will need to be developed.
In fact, experience across the roster is lacking and so youthful mistakes can be expected.
Big games: Versus Atchison April 1; At Immaculata April 22; Versus Maur Hill May 6
Coach says: "Very young team. It's going to be fun to watch us learn and grow in the game of baseball.
"May have numerous freshman at positions on the field. We are going to have to grow up quick and learn on the fly. A lot of positions are still up in the air."

ITV has been fined £1,670 for cruelty to animals over an episode of "I'm A Celebrity.. " which saw contestants kill and eat a rat, a spokesman said on Monday.The broadcaster was taken to court by the RSPCA in Australia in December after two of the reality show contestants caught a rat and killed it in a bid to feed their starving team mates.
Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo and soap star Stuart Manning were both charged with animal cruelty after the stunt in which the creature was served up with rice and beans.D'Acampo, who went on to win the show, said: "I saw one of these rats running around. I got a knife, I got its throat, I picked it up."The RSPCA said that killing a rat as part of a TV stunt was "not acceptable".

Reviewed By JIM M (CASTRO VALLEY, CA) Reviewed for a 2004 Toyota Tacoma —3/31/2018 3:27 AM
I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. I bought this gauge pod, so I can install an outside weather temperature gauge. When I got the gauge pod and I installed it on the pillar, I was very surprised it fit perfect but no modifications whatsoever. I'm very pleased. It's a little pricey for $33, but well worth it. I saw other ones on eBay for $13 and its the same as the $33 one. Is definitely worth buying, but do some more research you can get it a lot cheaper.

The Packers' travel gear included a new logo just for the coaches' equipment. Never seen that one before.
Vince Lombardi, sculpted by Julie Rotblatt Amrany and Omri Amrany, that stands outside the entrance to Lambeau Field's atrium.
While I hadn't seen that specific logo before, I was aware that the Packers recently introduced a whole series of roundel logos for various departments within the organization.
You can see the Equipment Department logo in that photo above, with the "Holstein Heisman" logo proudly displayed in the center.
Our blogging colleague Mr. Lambeau, of the must-read Packerville, U.S.A., has graciously agreed to share with me some outstanding photos he took of the sideline at Lambeau Field this past season. There we can see some of the other departmental logos in use.
From the pre-season game against Cleveland, we have this shot of equipment personnel getting the gear ready. There's the "Equipment Dept." logo again:
Packerville, U.S.A.Also check out the black case on the right; that's the same logo found on all radio-equipped helmets since 2008.
The Equipment Department puts its logo on all its travel cases.
Packerville, U.S.A.Equipment bags feature the team's classic Lombardi-era logo with the team's name circling it.
Packerville, U.S.A.The Video Department's roundel (black case, bottom left) features the same basic layout, but in the center has an old-style movie camera emblazoned with Dad Braisher's "G" logo.
Packerville, U.S.A.I also love the "Packers Field Video" decals on the folding chairs, incorporating the team's classic stencil wordmark and what looks like the NFL's standard new font.
I can't read the department name on the blue case in the photo below, but the roundel indicates that it belongs to the audio or communications department, with a coach's headset and mic:
Packerville, U.S.A.That makes four roundel logos of which I'm aware:

Messenger bag :: a tutorial
Last Friday, I mentioned there possibly was a tutorial in the works for little H.'s bag. It's been tested now over the weekend and she loves it - and so do I!
So, here's a tutorial for a fancy ruffled messenger bag!
This bag sort of happened. The only requirements were it had to be a messenger bag and the strap needed to be adjustable. And it definitely needed frills of some sort as little H. is a girly girl. Hence, the ruffles. All I used was my imagination and some scissors. I didn't even bother to take out a ruler or measurement tape (well, I did - afterwards, in order to write the how-to). The rounded flap and matching strap "happened" as I went.
In case you want to give it a try, here's a short description. The measurements given are approximate and include seam allowance.
For this bag you'll need:
two sets of fabric, one for the outside of the bag, one for the lining, cut as follows:
in each fabric:
- a 65x30cm rectangle, for the body,
- another 30x25cm rectangle for the flap, (long end determines the height of the flap, while the short end determines the width of the flap. The latter should be slightly less than the width of your bag pieces)
- a 4x15cm rectangle for the loop,
- a 5x105cm strip for the strap.
lining only:
- a long strip measuring roughly 7x140cm, for the ruffles
Step 1: Body of the bag
Fold the fabric in two, pin the sides, and stitch the sides closed.
Next, in order to make the boxed corners at the bottom, fold open the corner so that the side seam matches up with the bottom fabric fold, pin and mark as shown in the picture, about 4cm from the side. Stitch on the line. Repeat with the other corner. Note: it's really important to have side seam and bottom fold coincide perfectly, in order to get perfect 90° corners.
Now repeat with the lining, but leaving an opening in one of the sideseams, for turning in the last step. You should end up with two bag pieces looking like this:
Step 2: Flap
2a. Take the flap and cut curvature going from the left hand side lower corner to the right hand side upper corner.
2b. Ruffles: Fold the strip in two and iron flat. Next, on your sewing machine sew two parallel seams in a not too small stitch. Knot the four thread ends at one end to secure. At the other end take the two upper threads and start pulling on them, while pushing the fabric down. Your fabric will start ruffling. Keep going until you've reached the desired length, being the length of the curved side of the flap.
2c. Pin the ruffles to the outer fabric, such that the ruffles face inward (see picture). Secure by stitching them together really close to the side.
2d. Put the lining on top of the outer fabric, right sides facing, sandwiching the ruffles inside. Pin and next stitch the seams all the way around except for at the top (for turning). Clip the corner, turn inside out, press flat with an iron. It will look like this:
Step 3: Loop and strap
3a. Put the two strips you cut for the loop on top of each other right sides facing and stitch together. Next, turn inside out and press flat.
3b. Do the same with the strips you cut for the strap. Note: As I wanted the strip to match with the rounded flap I cut a slight curve at one end.
Step 4: Putting the bag together
4a. Pin the flap to the outer bag right sides facing while making sure to have it perfectly in the middle of the back of your bag.
4b. Fold the strip for the loop in two and pin to the left side of the bag, right sides facing and having the loop face downwards (it will face up once the bag is turned in the last step).
4c. Pin the strap to the bag at the opposite side, right sides facing.
4d. Secure everything, by stitching close to the sides.
4e. Pin the lining to the outer bag, right sides facing, and keeping the flap, the loop and the strap sandwiched inside. Stitch closed, about 1cm from the edge.
4f. Turn the bag inside out, through the opening you left in the lining. Press all seams flat. Close the gap in the lining, pull the strap through the loop and tie a knot at the desired length... and done!
I hope I made myself clear, if not just let me know!
Good luck!

could you tell me the dimensions of the finished bag? I was wondering if it is big enough to stow a notebook-laptop??
- December 31, 2011 at 12:27 AM
- Pascale said...
Hard to tell. It all depends on the exact size of your laptop. To make sure it fits, measure your laptop and adjust the dimensions given in the tutorial accordingly. Also, to protect your laptop from shocks make sure to add a layer of batting or another material in between the layers of fabric.

Thanks for this darling bag tutorial. I just completed it, but had to improvise on a few parts. I was unclear on a few steps- maybe b/c I'm a novice and some things were assumed...I couldn't quite see where to put the loop on the edge so the flap falls properly (aka straight). I wish the strap was longer and that I would have been reminded to hem the edges of the ruffle- I just had to do it once I attached it. I added a pocket in the lining too.
- March 8, 2013 at 5:59 AM
This is wonderful!
We are hoping to make one
over the summer!
Thanks...its so fun here!

Wonderful tutorial! I modified the dimensions to fit my laptop, notebook, and text book. I also added a pocket on the inside for pens and cellphone. Thanks for the explanation on how to do the box corners. I've always struggled on those but now they are easy! Project turned out great and now I am inspired to get back into creative sewing projects!

To this very day, none of them seem to have bothered to inquire about our predilections. The massive resentment many, if not most of us, have towards institutional religion isn't even on their radar, for the most part.But we are almost all laymen/women and they believe in monasticism in their hearts.
And it's not just the taking of vows per se. Tibetans come from a feudal theocratic society. Nowhere have I seen it said that a spiritual master is automatically a good administrator of a large organization. And as a generalization, but with the major exception of HHDL, any donation you make becomes their personal property. They have no sense of transparency, or of separation of organizational from personal funds. That is the way it was in Tibet. In India it hasn't changed much. But in America that can get you into trouble! In Tibet the teachers called the shots. It would behoove them to stop and listen a little bit more here.
On the other hand, I must say that when we had the Karmapa come to Santa Cruz our FPMT friends jumped in and helped. Thanks guys!

Throughout 2001, President George W. Bush and I spent time negotiating an important bilateral agreement on immigration policies and programs. We optimistically pieced together an innovative framework, and were close to reaching our goals, when the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 derailed our plans.
Now, in 2013, and in remarkably similar circumstances, President Obama and a bipartisan group of congressional leaders are again working courageously on immigration issues.
I join the millions of voices echoing around the world in expressing my outrage and sorrow about the events in Boston this month. And I also applaud leaders of the United States for not allowing these appalling events to disrupt their progress on immigration reform for a second time.
SLIDE SHOW: Five most important immigration reform issues
The White House has strongly condemned the attacks, but at the same time it has insisted that what occurred in Boston should not stop the legislative debate on immigration reform. That sentiment was echoed in the halls of Congress by bipartisan leaders who said immigration policies would serve to bolster U.S. security.

So here we have an example where a man chose drive on the footpath to avoid hitting a bus. The result being he ran down a mother and a 19 day old baby yet it wasn't his fault
A SYDNEY hearing into a man whose car struck a mother and baby has been told the accelerator of a woman's Lexus sedan got stuck under the mat, which is what he claims happened to his Lexus.
Margo James told Downing Centre Local Court today she was driving her 2000 model Lexus sports sedan through Sydney about 12 to 18 months ago when the accelerator failed to lift.
"I was shocked. I was frightened," Ms James said, adding the car rolled to the end of the road before she turned off the engine.
"All I knew was the engine was revving loudly and I was frightened."
Bryce James Wayland, 25, of Queenscliff, has pleaded not guilty to negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm to Emma De Silva and her 19-day old baby at St Peters in March last year.
Ms De Silva, 35, who was pushing her baby in a pram, suffered serious head injuries when she was hit by Mr Wayland's Lexus sedan.
Mr Wayland told police his accelerator pedal got caught under the floor mat and that he swerved to avoid a bus before mounting the kerb and hitting the mother and baby.
Ms James told the court when her accelerator got stuck under the mat, she was able to keep her car, a manual, under control by using the clutch.
She said she called her husband who told her to move the mat away from the accelerator.
"I reached down and I was able to pull the mat back," she said.
Her husband, Phillip James, told the court he examined the car later that night and saw the mat had come unhooked.
"From my knowledge of cars, and that car in particular, the only logical thing was that the mat was on the throttle," he said.
The couple said they had had no problems with their car since.
The hearing is continuing before Magistrate Graeme Curran.

EPA Boosts Efforts to Revitalize Richmond's Bellemeade Community
Release Date: 09/07/2012
Contact Information: David Sternberg (215) 814-5548 email@example.com
(RICHMOND, Va. - September 7, 2012) Funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will support the City of Richmond's efforts to transform the southside community of Bellemeade into a greener, healthier neighborhood. The City will use the nearly $60,000 EPA urban waters grant to create the Bellemeade Watershed Coalition and assist the group in restoring Bellemeade Creek.
"Restoring urban waters is essential to revitalizing the health, livability and economic future of communities, especially historically underserved neighborhoods like Bellemeade," said EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. "EPA's funding is helping empower local stakeholders to play an active role in cleaning up their communities and creating neighborhood places that offer recreational and economic value for years to come."
Bellemeade community members have been working with the City in developing a Watershed Concept Plan for restoring the water quality and health of Bellemeade Creek, making it a key educational resource for a new community school and recreational asset for use by residents.
EPA's funding will also help build the coalition's capacity by providing workshops on preventing pollution, creating a web-based interactive watershed map and other activities.
Ellen Gilinsky, a senior advisor in EPA's national Office of Water, and Jon Capacasa, director of EPA's regional water protection division, toured the Bellemeade watershed today with Richmond officials and stakeholders who will be part of the new coalition.
EPA's Urban Waters program helps cities unlock the potential of their waterways and the land around them to better serve the needs of their communities. For more information on EPA's Urban Waters program visit https://www.epa.gov/urbanwaters/index.html

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple ( AAPL) has filed a proxy statement following CEO Tim Cook's comments about David Einhorn's preferred stock proposal and subsequent lawsuit. Cook made the comments during today's Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference. Last week, Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn announced he was suing the iPhone maker, asking fellow shareholders to vote against Apple's proposal to do away with preferred stock, which he says restricts "the Board's ability to unlock the value on Apple's balance sheet." Apple responded to Einhorn, putting out a statement saying it would "thoroughly evaluate Greenlight Capital's current proposal to issue some form of preferred stock." Apple's Not a Hardware Company: Live Blog Recap Apple's proxy statement released today contained the following transcript form the Goldman conference: Questioner: There was a specific proposal last week from Greenlight on Apple issuing a perpetual preferred stock. I've been getting tons of questions on what that is and do we have examples. I'm sure you've dug into this. What are your thoughts on that type of security? Tim Cook: Well, I think it's creative, and we are going to thoroughly evaluate their current proposal. We welcome all ideas from all of our shareholders, including Greenlight, and we're going to thoroughly consider it. Questioner: There was also a lawsuit last week through this same proposal from Greenlight related to your proxy. How do you think about that lawsuit? Where is the misunderstanding here? Tim Cook: This is a good question because I don't think this is well understood. The disagreement centers around a proposal on Apple's proxy. We filed our preliminary proxy in December. It's called Prop 2, and what this proposal is about is the rights of shareholders. Specifically - and I want to be very clear on this - it's not about whether Apple returns additional cash to shareholders. It's not about how much cash to return to shareholders. It's not about the mechanism to return it. It's not about any of those things. It's about the rights of shareholders. Some time ago, early in 2012, we were looking at what things we could do to improve our governance further. As a part of that review, one of those items that came out of that was that we thought we should eliminate blank check preferred from Apple's charter. What that means is not that Apple could not issue or release preferred shares. It just says that if Apple decided to do it, we'd need to go to our common shareholders to get their approval. So, frankly, I find it bizarre that we would find ourselves being sued for doing something that's good for shareholders. But this is the position that we're in. I think it's a silly sideshow, honestly, and my preference would be that everyone on both sides of the issue would take the money they're spending on this and donate it to a worthy cause. I think that would be a lot better use of funds. But what we're going to do - you are not going to see us do a campaign mailing. We are not doing it. You're not going to see a "Yes on 2" sign in my front yard. This is a waste of shareholder money and it's a distraction, and it's not a seminal issue for Apple. And that said, I support Prop 2. I'm personally going to vote for it. I believe it's the right thing for shareholders to have the right on this particular topic. I encourage others to vote for it. But it's not something we are going to spend cycles on, and so I think that the serious issue at hand is the return of cash, how to do it, how much to do. It's that and we are very serious about that. But this Prop 2 thing is a silly sideshow and frankly, one of the big reasons I feel like this is - we feel so strongly that, for Apple, that shareholders should approve any issuance of preferred stock. We have no preferred stock, as you know, so this isn't a matter of increasing shares. We feel so strongly that common shareholders should do it, if we decide that this is in the best interests of shareholders to issue, we would clearly go for a vote regardless of whether our charter requires it or not. So that's the way I see it. Apple shares finished lower in Tuesday trading, losing 2.52% to $467.84. --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_Bull

Embattled Long Beach City Councilman Mike Fagen — whose campaign theme in 2009 was fiscal responsibility and ridding Long Beach of the "friends and family" culture that permeated City Hall — was convicted on Tuesday of charges that arose from his collection of more than $15,000 in unemployment benefits while he was a member of the council.
After a week of deliberations, a Nassau County jury convicted Fagen, 56, of 18 counts of first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and one misdemeanor count of petit larceny. He was forced to step down from the City Council, and faces up to four years in prison at his April 8 sentencing.
The jury was unable to reach verdicts on the top charge, one count of third-degree grand larceny, and 20 additional counts of offering a false instrument for filing.
"Elected officials are expected to put their communities and constituents first, not look for ways to pad their wallets at the expense of those they represent," District Attorney Kathleen Rice said in a statement. "Mr. Fagen violated the trust of Long Beach residents."
Prosecutors said that an investigation had been conducted by the D.A.'s office and the New York State Department of Labor's Office of Special Investigations, after both agencies were notified by the City of Long Beach. Fagen was indicted by a grand jury last February.
Fagen, who remained free on bail, did not return a call seeking comment. His attorney, Marc Gann, said that he intends to appeal after Fagen's sentencing, and he hopes Fagen will only receive probation.
"Generally, when a jury deliberates as long as they did, you would think that there's reasonable doubt," said Gann. "Certainly, from that perspective [the verdict] surprised me."
During the trial, in Nassau County Criminal Court, Gann asserted that Fagen's nearly $20,000 annual income as a councilman — for what was largely considered part-time work — was low enough for him to remain eligible to collect unemployment benefits. He also argued that Fagen was "set up" by the previous Republican administration, including former City Manager Charles Theofan, in an attempt to remove Fagen from office and to keep him from talking about the city's troubled finances.

Father Andrew, you removed the Archbishopric of Ohrid from the list of autonomous churches, with a short note that it is "recognized only by Serbia".
Your argument is in contradiction with the definition of autonomy in this page which states that: "is the status of a church within the Orthodox Church whose primatial bishop is confirmed by one of the autocephalous Orthodox Churches."
Assumably, by Serbia you mean the Church of Serbia - which is autocephalous canonical orthodox Church (complies to the requirement "one of the autocephalous Orthodox Churches"). It issued a tomos for autonomy to the Archbishopric of Ohrid and confirmed the primatial bishop to be Archbishop of Ohrid.
If there are some other criteria that has to be met - they should be written on this page too.
It is not understandible why the Church of China, which unfortunately, has no clergy (no bishops, no priests) can be listed, and a canonical church that has (at this moment) four bishops and is in full communion with all canonical orthodox churches, can not be listed on this page?
K.panteleimon 10:05, June 2, 2009 (UTC)
A denial of the statement "recognized only by Serbia", and an explanation how autonomy is percieved in the orthodox world by Metropolitan Kiril of Varna, (canonical) Orthodox Church of Bulgaria: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLNsNcGH5nY who, asked about the autonomy of the Archbishopric of Ohrid and how the Church of Bulgaria sees this matter, says that "when one a canonical orthodox Church reaches a decision, we accept that without disputes. For us it is vaild." and later "it is not correct that I comment on the decisions of another Church, it is their internal matter". He gives nice explanations, please take your time to hear his statements. K.panteleimon 18:29, June 2, 2009 (UTC)
- On OrthodoxWiki, we go by what are generally recognized, third-party sources. The Ohrid archdiocese is not listed in these sources as one of the autonomous churches of Orthodoxy. It's not a matter simply of what the Church of Serbia says or one Bulgarian bishop speaking on camera says, but rather what is generally practiced and recognized throughout the Orthodox Church.
- This is, by no means, a comment on the legitimacy of the Ohrid archdiocese or its autonomy. It's simply a matter of what is generally recognized throughout the Orthodox world.
- In any event, if it really is simply an "internal" matter, then that means that the Ohrid archdiocese is still part of the Serbian church and not one of the separate, autonomous churches in the way that Finland (for instance) is.
- It is very much worth noting that autonomy means different things in different cases. Clearly, the tomos given to the Ohbrid archdiocese by the Church of Serbia regards it as "in full liturgical and canonical unity with our Patriarchate of Pec, i.e., with the Serbian Orthodox Church," meaning that it is not autonomous in the same sense as other autonomous churches, which really are fully independent, excepting only the confirmation of their primate. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 01:18, June 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Father Andrew, it is be true that autonomy can mean different things in different cases. But if these differences are crutial, they should be named and explained in the main page too.
- The usage of third-party sources is essential, definitely. It is also essential that all these sources are listed. Why aren't they?
- You quoted just a half of the sentence, missing a very significant part - "and therefore with the fullness of the Most Holy Catholic Orthodox Church". (The full sentence is: "By the grace of our Lord, the autonomous Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric remains in full liturgical and canonical unity with our Patriarchate of Pec, i.e., with the Serbian Orthodox Church, and therefore with the fullness of the Most Holy Catholic Orthodox Church, being canonically expressed with the confirmation of the election of the Prelate thereof by Our humbleness.")
- Also, I see a mention of a term which is really odd in the orthodox ecclesiology: independence. Independence is valuable if we speak of coutries, companies, families, etc., but not if we speak of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Full independence in church terms would be separation from the body of Christ! Christ prayed that "they may be one as we are one" (John 17, 11), not that "they may be fully independent of each other."
- Therefore it seems not adequate to state that any canonical orthodox Church is independent from another (canonical orthodox Church).
- Similarly, in regard to the Church of Finland, this wiki says that "In 1923, the Finnish Church completely separated from the Russian Church". Complete separation from the body of Christ is schism, which is not the case here. Which source does this statement originate from? The history page of the Church of Finland definitely not.
- The Church of Finland's history page says that the Ecumenical Patriarchate granted its autonomy by issuing a Tomos. It does not mention any other criteria, or additional recognition by the other orthodox Churches - because that is an internal matter, in this case of the Ecumenical patriarchate.
- So, what difference do you find between the autonomies of the Church of Finland and the Archbishopric of Ohrid?
- K.panteleimon 12:07, June 3, 2009 (UTC)

c:\>perldoc -q gui Found in C:\strawberry\perl\lib\perlfaq3.pod How can I write a GUI (X, Tk, Gtk, etc.) in Perl? (contributed by Ben Morrow) There are a number of modules which let you write GUIs in Perl. Most GUI toolkits have a perl interface: an incomplete list follows. Tk This works under Unix and Windows, and the current version doesn't look half as bad under Windows as it used to. Some of the gui elements still don't 'feel' quite right, though. The interface is very natural and 'perlish', making it easy to use in small scripts that just need a simple gui. It hasn't been updated in a while. Wx This is a Perl binding for the cross-platform wxWidgets toolkit ( <http://www.wxwidgets.org> ). It works under Unix, Win32 and Mac OS X, using native widgets (Gtk under Unix). The interface follows the C++ interface closely, but the documentation is a little sparse for someone who doesn't know the library, mostly just referring you to the C++ documentation. Gtk and Gtk2 These are Perl bindings for the Gtk toolkit ( <http://www.gtk.org> ). The interface changed significantly between versions 1 and 2 so they have separate Perl modules. It runs under Unix, Win32 and Mac OS X (currently it requires an X server on Mac OS, but a 'native' port is underway), and the widgets look the same on every platform: i.e., they don't match the native widgets. As with Wx, the Perl bindings follow the C API closely, and the documentation requires you to read the C documentation to understand it. Win32::GUI This provides access to most of the Win32 GUI widgets from Perl. Obviously, it only runs under Win32, and uses native widgets. The Perl interface doesn't really follow the C interface: it's been made more Perlish, and the documentation is pretty good. More advanced stuff may require familiarity with the C Win32 APIs, or reference to MSDN. CamelBones CamelBones ( <http://camelbones.sourceforge.net> ) is a Perl interface to Mac OS X's Cocoa GUI toolkit, and as such can be used to produce native GUIs on Mac OS X. It's not on CPAN, as it requires frameworks that CPAN.pm doesn't know how to install, but installation is via the standard OSX package installer. The Perl API is, again, very close to the ObjC API it's wrapping, and the documentation just tells you how to translate from one to the other. Qt There is a Perl interface to TrollTech's Qt toolkit, but it does not appear to be maintained. Athena Sx is an interface to the Athena widget set which comes with X, but again it appears not to be much used nowadays.

DailyDirt: Nothing To Fear, Maybe
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Joel Best has been investigating Halloween Sadism reports since 1985, and while he can't prove a negative (ie. that no kids have ever been sadistically poisoned by Halloween candy), the evidence for any widespread Halloween threat to children is pretty thin. The last update for this study was done in 2010, and 1982 was a particularly bad year for poisoned candy scares. But since the mid-80s, there haven't been more than 2 reported incidents per Halloween -- and so far, follow-up investigations have only found evidence of hoaxes. [url]
- Timothy O'Bryan was actually killed by a cyanide-laced pixie stick in 1974. However, the murderer was the boy's own father who had taken out a $60,000 life insurance policy for his son and was later convicted and executed for killing him. [url]
- Last year, there was at least one report of a razor found in a Reese's peanut butter cup by a father in New Mexico. Chocolate and peanut butter are two great tastes that taste great together, but razors are not part of that recipe. [url]

Analysis of the goal conceded against Aston Villa (6/5)
Ciaran Clark's goal – Clark receives the ball, strides forward, and takes aim from 25 yards. The ball strikes Gallas' shoulder and wrong-foots Friedel, finding the top corner.
Hutton finds Ireland in space beyond our midfield.
Sandro races back to close him down, but he finds N'Zogbia…
…who lays the ball back for Clark.
He has nothing out wide and no real options down the centre and so, with no pressure on the ball, he takes a pot-shot.
Gallas, more concerned with protecting his face than blocking the shot, turns his back on the ball, and it loops up off his shoulder.
Leaving Friedel wrong-footed.
Tagged goal analysis, newsnow
what is the point of this analysis…do you think the coaching staff, players and manager are reading???
Troll. We appreciate your analysis Windy. Good to slow it all down and see where mistakes were made.
Alot of people enjoy it so why dont you go and give Mary Whitehouse a good seeing to instead of reading this?!
Thanks for the comments, guys.
I suggest that if Anon isn't a fan, he/she needn't bother wasting his/her time reading it in future!
Thanks for this Windy – always good to read. Looks like more than 25 yards to me – such a soft goal – the one thing I have admired about Cheatski recently is their blocking in front of goal, I agree Gallas was weak here but Clark got lucky, just shows what can happen if you give it a go.
Cheers Jill! Absolutely – we don't take on enough shots from distance IMO. Often worth having a go if there's nothing else on.
Tottenham have fired in 92 shots on target from outside the box this season, more than any other side.
Blimey, that's an incredible stat. Shows what I know… always feel like we don't get enough shots away…
If you watch from behind the goal, it didnt actually change where in the goal it was heading. Without the deflection, it was heading for the same corner and the deflection happened over 20 yards out… Why didnt Friedel move? Gomes, I admit is far from perfect, but even if he couldnt get there, would have been half way accross his goal trying.. Friedel's lack of mobility is really getting to me. Multiple crosses / corners within the 6 yard box again yesterday, Friedel nowhere to be seen.
I agree that it didn't move much, but deflections nearly always wrong-foot a keeper.
& forgot that guy above.. It may seem to some negative to analyse goals conceded, but some people who think they know everything about football, actually know very little, so the more in depth detail like this should help them… I enjoy it and no one else online seems to do anything similar, so it's different to the usual blog.
Could Friedel have made a desperate late attempt to reach out for the long-range ball??? He seems rooted to his position and looks on passively…
I don't think his reactions are what they once were but I won't blame him too much or this one.
Windy what would your analysis be on Redknapp bringing on Parker yesterday, instead of Defoe and then putting Gallas up front? Great blog mate and much appreciated.
Bizarre decision – Saha or Defoe would have been the obvious move (or leave as is)…
I am not saying he would have got there… But so often he seems rooted.. Has he always been this immobile, or has age caught up with him in this respect?
I think the latter… could be his last full season methinks.
New keeper top of the list for next season. Gomes made mistakes trying to come and help his defenders. Friedel avoids such mistakes by staying on his line but that means he gives no extra help to his defence.
Both Gallas and Friedel should be responsible for this goal. We are weak in mentality. How can Gallas turned his face instead of trying to block the ball. We need to buy a top goalkeeper (and CBs) this summer.
Harry should be criticised for not substituted Defoe in and trying to get three points. It was a must win game if we want to regain the third spot to ensure a CL spot and finish above our rival.
Very frustrating that Gallas did this IMO.
I like this analysis…might be even more directly critical of gallas and say he should have closed down clark much quicker. The ball would have hit him for sure but unlikely to have found the net if he'd been closer. Our best preformances have all involved us being very unspurs like and closing down the opposition fast in all areas of the pitch. Norwich was a hideous example of where we just lost this crucial
aspect to our game
He could have closed Clark, but that may have left space for Heskey behind him.
AS a GK you cannot guess a deflection as it can go anywhere in a 30 degree funnel(ie 60degree in total). This usuall removes that split second you have to either cover the further distance if wide, or turn in if more acute but up or down.
Face it!! It was one of those freakish a**ey goals that no one can stop but which we often give away. You become a little less upset after 60 yrs of it believe me and I haver seen some whoppers.
I seem to remember a corner taken by a lower div side(FAC) and about a dozen heads went up and the wind blew it in with a gust that tore one of the flags out and our GK had caught it but over the line…no don't ask me as I cannot remember when or who
Agree for the most part.
I remember Friedel was an unlucky goalie when at Villa with shots looping over him with deflections. I suppose these average themselves out over a career, but ironic it should happen on his return to Villa Park. Not sure he had another shot to save all day.
No… I did think he invited pressure by not coming and claiming/punching a few corners though.
…@anonymous 7.55. Richard Dunne was playing for Villa and he currently holds the record for own goals, 6 I think. Then as if by irony we go behind to an own goal, and only score ourselves from the spot….utter garbage against a poor Villa side!!!
the woolwich player scores against us to keep woolwich above us?
The oppurtunity was there, waiting to be seized. I can only assume Hutton must have really upset Rose in training at some point last year…
Ha, that thought crossed my mind too, bonse!
….I would like to know how a deflected shot from 30 yards caught the old cuzt "wrong-footed"!!! Fuk me the shot was pretty central to the goal, and taking the deflection should slow the ball slightly, but Brad Fukall WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!!!! As the ball went in he was just rooted to the fukkin spot! First time I have ever seen just how SH!T Brad can be when he wants to be! And WTF was Twitch doing bringing on Scotty instead of JD WITH 5 MINUTES LEFT in a game WE HAD TO WIN?!!! Honestly, Twitchs substitutions and team selections are just fukkin nonsense!
Bit harsh – deflections hard to adjust for regardless of how far out.
There's missing something…..the analysis is not completed…. I mean, you forgot to call Modders getting caught "ball-watching" again.
I didn't forget – he wasn't this time. Do you disagree with previous analysis?
Face up to it Windy the first poster is on to something.
If you didn't analyse the goals conceded then we would obviously keep clean sheets in every game.
You have created a cottage industry here and I am guessing that you pay the boys to concede just so you have something to do.
Our senior staff manager can't read anyway so he won't gain much from your blog.
Windy out!
Haha, cheers as ever Jimmy 🙂 You put a smile on my face.
Forget about the goal conceded, which was a fluke, what was concerning was the lack of shots on goal. Ignore the brickbats, your analysis is very welcome and actually it would be great if you would expand your analysis to other critical aspects of the game.
Wind on!
Will you be analysing any goals we concede in the Champions League Final? 😉
We won't concede any!

Posted on 15 March 2010
Cancun, Mexico - When Earth Hour rolls into the city of Cancun on Mexico's east coast on March 27th, it will be a prelude to the city's year in the climate spotlight.
It might be lights out for an hour from 8:30 pm for Earth Hour, but it will be television lights on in November when ministers and representatives of the world's governments flood in to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to try to add detail and firm up the commitments reached at last year's Copenhagen Accord.
The need for action remains extremely urgent, and the Cancun discussions must produce tangible results," said Vanessa Pérez-Cirera, Climate Change Director for WWF-Mexico.
"While a positive political recognition on the need to keep below 2 degrees was reached, we should be orienting our economic growth plans to the goal of keeping below 1.5 degrees as recent science has revealed if, for example, we want to continue having viable coral reef systems, a land-mark of Cancún and the Yucatán Península," she said.
Earth Hour is the great opportunity people around the world have to underline to our leaders that we want adequate and decisive action on climate change.
This year in Mexico Earth Hour will be a country-wide initiative supported by the Federal Government, the Mexico City Government, the alliance WWF-Fundación Carlos Slim, HSBC and Coca-Cola.
"Earth Hour sets the tone for a year in which businesses, individuals and governments must strengthen the work together to set our planet back on the right track. We in the host country for COP16 must show all what the Government, local communities, businesses and civil society groups in Mexico are doing to mitigate global climate change" said Omar Vidal, Director of WWF-Mexico.
"Calls from the people are particularly powerful"
Further south in the Americas, Ecuador will be preparing for its first ever participation in Earth Hour. Among the keenest participants will be the new WWF International President, Yolanda Kakabadse, a former Ecuadorian Environment Minister with a long and distinguished career in resolving environmental and other conflicts between policy makers, industry and social groups.
"Never doubt that decision makers will be watching what masses of people do in their homes and communities for Earth Hour," she said. "Dealing with climate change is not easy and leaders are themselves are looking for leadership on the issue.
"Calls from the people are particularly powerful."
Bolivia, meanwhile, will be experiencing something of a forest-based Earth Hour with a key focal point being in the city of Santa Cruz where 150 companies and institutions involved in responsible forestry and trade in wood products are involved in the annual Forest Exposition.
"Deforestation is a major problem in Bolivia, and is responsible for four-fifths our all our carbon emissions" said WWF Bolivia's Conservation Director, Mr. Adolfo Moreno.
"Earth Hour gives us an excellent opportunity to further the dialogue on this issue, and encourage both the government and companies to do their part to reduce our carbon footprint."
The Expo includes a forum to discuss climate change in Bolivia and the priorities the country will take to Cancun, Mexico for the UN climate conference in December.
Seven other Bolivian cities, including capital La Paz will be celebrating Earth Hour this year, which is significant uptake in civic participation, and marks the increasing interest the public is taking in the danger posed by climate change.
These dangers are considerable. According to the National Navy Hydrographic Service (SNHN), currently there are at least nine rivers in the Bolivian Amazon Basin registering an increase in flows, jeopardizing numerous riverside communities and underlining the priority that needs to be given to mitigating and adapting to climate change in the short term.
Another climate change related impact foreseen by scientists for the year 2030 is that the mythical Titicaca Lake will have been reduced and divided in three parts.

WASHINGTON — Tom Hanks was lauded as America's "favorite son" — and one of the greatest of cinema's stars — at a star-spangled Kennedy Center Honors gala on Sunday.
Hanks was honored with four other legends: singer-songwriter Sting, singer-songwriter-minister Al Green, comedian Lily Tomlin and ballerina Patricia McBride.
Stephen Colbert, who soon will relinquish his Comedy Central show and next year inherit David Letterman's chair, was the emcee at the Kennedy Honors, now in their 37th year. Who's honoring whom is kept secret until the performers who extol them take the stage.
Hanks' friend Letterman kicked off tributes to the 58-year-old actor, whose credits...

Forest River FEMA Trailer Trial Begins Monday
March 11, 2010 by RVBusiness 1 Comment
The second of five "bellwether" trials on the environmental safety of travel trailers built for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for 2005 hurricane victims is scheduled to begin Monday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans.
Forest River Inc. is the defendant in this case, along with environmental testing firm Shaw Environmental Inc. and FEMA, brought by Lyndon T. Wright.
The suit, filed March 2, 2009, claims Forest River supplied trailers to FEMA that were contaminated with toxic levels of formaldehyde.
Forest River and other RV manufacturers supplied tens of thousands of trailers for emergency use following hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The trailer makers subsequently faced lawsuits from hurricane victims claiming that the formaldehyde caused their health to deteriorate. Company lawyers say the trailers were safe.
Forest River, represented by New Orleans attorneys Jason D. Bone and Ernest P. Gieger Jr., has identified more than 60 witnesses by name that it could call during the trial before Judge Kurt Englehardt. The U.S. government has named 33 witnesses it plans to call in its defense.
On Sept. 24, a jury took just four hours to find Gulf Stream Coach Inc. innocent of similar accusations from a family that occupied a trailer made by the Nappanee, Ind.-based company.
Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. and Keystone RV Co. Inc. also were sued in the same court. The case against Fleetwood, the predecessor company to the current Fleetwood RV Inc., was settled out of court in a confidential agreement, which was approved on Wednesday by the court in Riverside, Calif., overseeing Fleetwood's bankruptcy, according to Fleetwood attorney Richard Hines.
The Keystone trial, scheduled to begin Jan. 11, has been rescheduled to a later date.

1st CirCuit
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Puerto Rico, Rhode Island
Dan Brown's thriller
does not infringe other
author's copyright
"Angels & Demons," a thriller about the
Catholic Church, rubbed some people the
wrong way, but none more so than Jack
Dunn. In Dunn v. Brown, Dunn claimed
"Angels & Demons" infringed the copyright of his 1997 book "The Vatican Boys."
On March 22, the 1st Circuit affirmed a
district court's summary judgment in
favor of Brown.
Dunn claimed that Brown had directly
copied several elements, including characters, plot and settings. A magistrate judge
reviewed the contentious passages and
determined that although both books had
religious elements, "Angels & Demons" was
too different to be infringing. Adopting
the magistrate judge's report, the district
court granted Brown summary judgment.
The 1st Circuit affirmed, saying that no
reasonable juror would find sufficient sim-ilarities between the two books.
This case was not Dunn and Brown's
first legal entanglement—Dunn previously
sued Brown, claiming that his other best-seller, "The Da Vinci Code," also infringed
on "The Vatican Boys." Brown won summary judgment in that case as well.
2nd CirCuit
Connecticut, New York, Vermont
Coca-Cola legally
purchased plant from
exiled Egyptian family
COCA-COLA;DID;NOT;ILLEGALLY;PUR-chase, or unjustly enrich itself from, an
Egyptian bottling plant located on land
that was forcibly taken from a Jewish
family, the 2nd Circuit ruled March 19
in Bigio v. The Coca-Cola Company.
In the 1940s, Coca-Cola leased land
from the Bigio family to establish its first
bottling plant in Egypt. The Egyptian
government took the Bigios' real estate
in 1962, and later sold it to an insurance
company that Egypt owned. The Bigios
were expelled from Egypt in 1965. All
the factories on their land were consolidated into a single bottling company, in
which Coca-Cola later acquired an ownership interest.
In 1997 the Bigios filed suit against
Coca-Cola and its export corporation,
but the district court dismissed their
complaint, claiming lack of jurisdiction.
The family filed an amended complaint
in 2009, alleging trespass and unjust
enrichment, among other claims. The
district court granted the defendants'
motion to dismiss.
On appeal, the 2nd Circuit upheld
the ruling because the plaintiffs sued
Coca-Cola, the parent company, rather
than the subsidiary Coca-Cola Egypt
(CCE), which would have been the entity
responsible if the claims checked out.
6th CirCuit
Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee
No breach of contract
for a voluntary
payment of $13.99
Systems, the 6th Circuit ruled on Feb. 29
that a man who voluntarily paid a $13.99
fuel charge for a rental car cannot claim
the company breached its contract.
Michael Salling drove a Budget rental
car 64 miles, refilled the gas tank and
returned the car. Budget charged him
a $13.99 fuel service fee, which Salling
alleged his contract allowed him to avoid
by returning the car with a full tank of
gas. Budget claimed that to waive the fee,
Salling had to provide a receipt, which
he didn't have. Salling sued for breach of
contract, fraud and unjust enrichment.
The district court granted summaryjudgment to Budget, saying the con-tract was not unclear. On appeal, the6th Circuit agreed with Budget's argu-ment that Salling voluntarily paid the fee,whether or not there was breach of con-tract. The court quoted Nationwide LifeIns. Co. v. Myers, saying "A payment madeby reason of a wrong construction of theterms of a contract … if voluntary cannotbe recovered back," and affirmed the dis-trict court's judgment.
7th CirCuit
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin
Disabled employees
not guaranteed new
jobs within a company
that disabled employees who cannot
perform their job functions are not guaranteed reassignment to another position
under the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
In Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) v. United Airlines
Inc., United had a policy that allowed
disabled employees to apply for a transfer to a vacant position, but the process
was competitive, and employees were not
promised a spot. The 7th Circuit previously held in EEOC v. Humiston-Keeling
that the ADA does not require automatic
reassignment. The EEOC argued that the
Supreme Court's ruling in US Airways v.
Barnett undermined that decision.
In Barnett, the Supreme Court foundthat accommodations that violate anevenly enforced company policy aren'tnecessarily unreasonable under the ADA.The EEOC claimed in United Airlines thatthe "decision requires that the disabledperson be advanced over a more qualifiednondisabled person."The 7th Circuit wrote that "theEEOC's interpretation may in fact bea more supportable interpretation ofthe ADA," but the court had alreadyinterpreted Humiston-Keeling in casesafter Barnett, and so affirmed the dis-trict court's ruling that United's policycould stand.

The other day, I had the opportunity to tour a massive Turkish shipping vessel as part of a series of stories about transportation in the state. I assumed I'd be the only woman on board. I was wrong.
I climbed the gang plank of the Ibrahim Dede then rounded a corner and started up a steep set of stairs. Standing right in front of me when I reached the top was this striking young Turkish woman named Emel Gok.
Her English was very broken, but she spoke excitedly about her work as second officer aboard Turkon America's container vessels, which transport goods from the U.S. to ports in Turkey and Egypt.
"I like it," Gok said, pausing to consider her words. "And I like seeing the other countries."
"I like this, New York, New Jersey," she added, smiling.
She studied at a maritime college in Istanbul and then started her career with Turkon America as the third officer aboard one of its shipping vessels. She was since promoted to second officer. She works for three months at a time and then gets about a month or so off.
"It's very difficult," she said of her work. "Every time working, every time working."
Gok said her parents miss her when she is away, but she's making good money and traveling the world. And she's set her sights on career advancement. When I ask her what she would ultimately like to become one day, she pointed to her boss, the ship's captain.
"Maybe chief officer," she said with a smile.

Dad accidentally delivers baby into toilet
WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut baby has arrived with a splash, right into a toilet bowl.
The baby's father, David Davis, tells WVIT-TV (http://bit.ly/1mZ4HlM ) that he was forced to deliver the newborn in the bathroom of his West Haven home Friday morning after his wife, Lillie, went into labor.
He says the baby slipped through his hands during the delivery, but luckily went into the water. He says she began crying and it was the best sound he'd ever heard.
Davis says the couple had gone to a hospital earlier in that morning, but had been sent home after it was determined his wife was not ready to give birth.
She began feeling strong labor pains a few hours later. Livia weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces — soaking wet.

Norma, Tom Lehmann should hire you.
Do you think the freekeh flour will work for pizza?
I thought freekehlicious was going to be some kind of Halloween dough. Sounds freeken interesting.
I have no idea, but I know I'm going to find out.
Craig,Let me know if find some way it will work out. I think it is low in protein, something like spelt.Norma
Suggestion:make a batch for 3 balls of the flour, treating it as a high-gluten flour. Use one in your home oven, one in your market oven at a higher temperature, and give one to Steve to try out in the WFO.My prediction is that the new flour will be comparable to 00 in bake character, but with a different flavor profile.For the batch, go simple. Keep sugar and oil light or absent. Document everything- mixing regimen, mix temp, bulk temp and time, balled temp and time. Sounds interesting - even if it's only a gimmick, maybe more specialty flours for the home baker will come out as a result.
I meant I'm going to learn from your experiments.
From an article in the WSJ (of all places):Freekeh is the name used for any wheat, usually durum, that's harvested when still green, then fire-threshed to give it a smoky intensity and pliant pop. Perhaps the fastest up-and-comer in the ancient grain crowd, freekeh (pronounced FREE-kah) can be found in warm salads, risottos and pilafs. At Pocantico Hills, N.Y., restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns, chef Dan Barber makes whole-grain crackers by puréeing cooked freekeh, spreading it paper-thin and slow baking it for about 2 hours. The result is plainly delicious and shows off the grain's grassy flavor.I think they lost me with the "grassy flavor", but I'll be interested in hearing how your experimenting works out.Anybody live near Old Tappan, NJ? Maybe stop by Dino's to check it out.Barry

The number of registered voters in Chicago is at its lowest level since at least 1942, the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners said today.
As of Monday, about 1.28 million voters were registered in the city, board spokesman James Allen said. That's lower than in 1942, the first year such numbers are recorded in the agency's records.
Four years ago, about 1.31 million voters registered before the primary, which was held in February and featured President Barack Obama's quest for the Democratic nomination.
This year's low numbers prompted Election Board Chairman Langdon Neal to urge voters to register by Feb. 21, the registration deadline for this year's March 20 primary.
Chicago voters can register in person at the board offices, at a state driver's license office or by mail with a form that can be downloaded at the board's website, www.chicagoelections.com.
