"Every act of theatre revolves around a transaction between two communities: the performers onstage and the improvised community that constitute what we call an audience," writes Ramin Gray in his director's note for The Events. Yet this play, commissioned by Gray's Actors Touring Company (London) and Drammatikkenshus (Oslo) and written by Scottish dramatist David Greig, is a rather unusual act of theatre. It is a piece that interrogates the notion of community through dramatic fiction while involving a non-fictional community on stage: a local choir, different for every single performance (more than a hundred in total). In a 'Choir Pack' especially designed for prospective participants, Gray states: "the story weaves around you, often you will represent the community and act as spectators but sometimes you will act like a Greek chorus and of course, at other times you will sing: songs dear to your hearts and songs that we will write for you" (ATC 2). The Events opened in August 2013 at the Traverse Theatre, as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and is still touring Britain. Co-produced by the Young Vic (UK), Brageteatret (Norway) and Schauspielhaus Wien (Austria), it was seen in all three countries this spring. My own brief response to the play in terms of community and identity stems from a November performance of the show at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, plus some discussions held during the David Greig Festival at the University of Lincoln in March 2014.
As already indicated, The Events is a work of fiction, although informed by research conducted in Norway in the aftermath of the killing of 77 people by Anders Behring Breivik in 2011.[1] During their visit to the country, Greig and Gray actually saw a choir and the future shape of the piece presented itself: "[I]t seemed like such a perfect image of the best in being human. In the play, what happens to them becomes the motor for the story. A choir is a group that can include or exclude you" (Greig qtd. in Herald Scotland). Only two professional actors and one musician share the stage with the singers. In the original tour, Neve McIntosh played Claire, a priest who survives the mass shooting that has decimated her multicultural community choir and desperately tries to make sense of this 'event'. Rudi Dharmalingam played The Boy, who is the perpetrator but also morphs into all other characters, none of whom can give Claire a clear justification: The Boy's father, his acquaintance from school, the leader of a far-right party, Claire's therapist and even her partner Catriona. The result of these multiple roles is an acute version of Brechtian distancing techniques that precludes sensationalism. In the words of one Fringe reviewer, Dharmalingam "never succumbs to 'acting' and instead just speaks the lines with clarity and conviction, allowing us to consider the ideas without being swayed by his emotion" (Hutton). At the same time, as Talya Kingston observes in Theatre Journal, The Boy's ubiquity suggests that "no matter to whom Claire looks to for explanation or comfort, she only and always sees the same face" (266).
The constant doubling of The Boy (always 'The Boy' in the written text, which does not specify the other characters 'he' plays) has a further, more subtle effect. It somehow highlights the instability of identity, making impossible the ontological reading of Evil that Claire attempts at some point in her argument with Catriona (still 'The Boy'):
The Boy Evil?
Claire Yes.
Evil is in the world, Catriona.
He brought it.
If I can find its cause and lay it to rest, I'll sleep.
Do you understand?
The Boy What if you can't find it, Claire?
What if bad things just happen? (39)
At a collective level, a necessary questioning of the notion of identity underpins the ambivalence of community itself which, like Greig's metonymical choir, can include or exclude, but only precariously. According to Stuart Hall's seminal formulation,
[t]hroughout their careers, identities can function as points of identification and attachment only because of their capacity to exclude, to leave out, to render 'outside', abjected. Every identity has at its 'margin', an excess, something more. The unity, the internal homogeneity, which the term identity treats as foundational is not a natural, but a constructed form of closure, every identity naming as its necessary, even if silenced and unspoken other, that which it 'lacks'. (5)
When Claire finally confronts The Boy in prison, the closest she gets to an answer from him is "I think I just got a bit obsessed with aborigines" (64). Breivik infamously linked the struggle for Aboriginal land in Australia with the supposed entitlement of 'indigenous' populations in Europe. The play builds on this connection by having The Boy, in the first scene, imagining "An aboriginal boy [...] standing on the rocks of the Illawarra River just at the very moment three ships from England come sailing up the long grey waters of the cove". As the ships bring "class and religion and disease and a multitude of other instruments of objectification and violence", the boy –as conjured up by 'The Boy', who in Dharmalingam's performance is played against the white stereotype– would be well advised to "Kill them. Kill them all" (11-12). The analogy can serve to legitimise The Boy's grievances inasmuch as the illusion of an 'indigenous' identity can be maintained, but Claire destroys it towards the end of the play by producing an alternative version of the imagined boy:
Isn't it possible, isn't it just possible that –after sixty thousand years of entirely unchanged culture– isn't it just possible that if you asked the aboriginal boy how he felt about those ships in that moment he might say –in aboriginal language of course– something like 'Thank fuck! Thank fuck something interesting has finally happened round here.'
That's possible, isn't it? (65-66)
Another semantic difference between The Boy and Claire concerns the use of the word 'tribe', which the former deploys in that first scene and Claire also finds later in "A link in a comment on a page about the trial", claiming that "Blood must be shed in defence of the tribe" (21). As an atavistic version of community, 'tribe' is made of apparently fixed identity markers –bonds of blood and tradition– yet Claire presents her own interpretation when she invites The Boy to the choir in the first sequence: "Everyone's welcome here. [...] We're all a big crazy tribe here" (12). The Boy's murderous act temporarily destroys the possibility of an 'open' tribe, but Claire concludes the play with the same choice of words (68), just before the final tune. It can be argued that the role assigned to the choir within the performance itself sketches a trajectory from close to open. The show begins with their "own song", which "should offer a strong sense of [the] choir's identity –a real signature tune", but gradually they acquire more general functions: "[t]hey fulfil the role of the Choir in the narrative, represent the community in which the play takes place, and act as Greek Chorus" (ATC 5). As Kingston puts it, "having a choir of nonactors onstage [...] was both the best example of Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt that I have experienced and the purest example of an onstage chorus as the representation of a collective of citizens" (266).
Kingston remarks are pertinent in order to examine the political implications of Greig's play and its innovative approach to communities on and off the stage. While Greig is comfortable acknowledging the influence of Brecht, he has had an uneasy relationship with the post-1968 generation of political playwrights, wanting "to get away from theatre that proposed dialectical solutions in the old-left wing tradition" ("Rough Theatre" 212). Drawing instead on the negative dialectics of Theodor Adorno (a resolute critic of Brecht), Greig created his own manifesto for Rough Theatre, "a very tentative proposal for a new model of political theatre which might offer the possibility of resistance in the new conditions of power in the early twenty-first century" (211). In The Events, the Adornian spirit is present in the paradoxical attitude to the prospect of understanding. Claire's compulsion to find reasons is constantly undercut by the sense (articulated by The Boy/Catriona above) that bad things may just happen. As Hutton claims, this may well be a "a lyrical, knotty play which, through trying to comprehend, suggests that comprehension is impossible", although in my opinion Lyn Gardner's summary of The Events is closer to the mark: "Its beauty was that it was –like Claire herself– full of doubt and honesty, about its own function, its own fragmentary aesthetic, about what we mean by society, and our flailing helplessness in the face of unexpected violence". In other words, true to Brechtian and 'rough' style, in its search for understanding about the limits of community the play is not fated but unfinished. And the audience as community has been invited to add their voices to the choir.

The U.S. Navy Tuesday said it had asserted the "state secrets" privilege in a lawsuit by environmental groups, a move to keep the military from being forced to disclose classified information about the use of sonar believed to injure whales and other animals.
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Navy Tuesday said it had asserted the "state secrets" privilege in a lawsuit by environmental groups, a move to keep the military from being forced to disclose classified information about the use of sonar believed to injure whales and other animals.
Navy Secretary Donald Winter, in a court filing submitted Monday, said disclosure of the information requested by plaintiffs "could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to national security."
The state secrets privilege, if upheld, renders information unavailable for litigation. It can be challenged, although the federal government often succeeds in asserting the protection.
"It can be challenged and we intend to challenge it," said Joel Reynolds, senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, the group that brought the lawsuit.
The Navy action is the latest in a string of Pentagon moves to derail the group's lawsuit. The Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental groups say sonar used in routine training and testing violates environmental laws.
They also argue the Navy's sonar injures and kills marine mammals, including whales and dolphins.
Animal welfare organizations have documented cases of mass whale strandings and deaths around the world that they say are associated with sonar blasts thought to disorient marine mammals and sometimes cause bleeding from the eyes and ears.
In January, the Pentagon exempted the Navy for two years from a law protecting whales so that it could continue using the sonar during training. That removed one legal avenue for environmental groups to challenge Navy sonar.
The Navy said Tuesday's action should keep it from complying with requests from the plaintiffs in the lawsuit for specific information on all non-combat use of military sonar.
Plaintiffs had requested information on the latitude, longitude, time and date, duration, and name of the exercise for every non-combat use of military sonar by the U.S. Navy anywhere in the world, according to the court filing.
A Navy official said the information would hurt both U.S. national security and relationships with countries that participate in naval exercises with the United States.
"We were left no other alternative but to assert the state secrets privilege," the official said. "We're being asked to make public properly classified information. Our role is to provide for this nation's security and providing that information would be detrimental to that mission."
The Natural Resources Defense Council, however, said the Navy was trying to block access to all information relevant to the case, making it difficult to pursue.
"Our position here is not that the Navy cannot train with sonar, not that the Navy cannot use sonar during combat, but only that whales and other marine species should not have to die for practice," Reynolds said.
"That's what the litigation is about and the information whose disclosure the Navy seeks to block is directly related to that concern."

M rather than Bond himself. This is understandable if you consider that Judi Dench's talents have been underutilised in her previous 6 films. While under political attack for loosing the list of undercover agents things take a turn for the worse as MI6 comes under cyber and bomb attack. As we know from John le Carré novels, you don't get to the top of the British secret service without having a few skeletons in the closet. M's skeleton, from her time as Hong Kong station chief, is Raoul Silva. Silva is played in scenery munching style by Javier Bardem (who played the equally evil Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men). Silva is a supremely resourceful, sadistic, gloating camp super-villain in the same league as Dr Julian No, Sir Hugo Drax and Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
While Bardem is having fun as Silva...
"She sent you after me, knowing you're not ready, knowing you would likely die. Mommy was very bad."... Daniel Craig never breaks into a smile as James Bond. There are no one-liners, very limited flirting and Bond doesn't even enjoy sex with either Tonia Sotiropoulou or Sévérine. While a dour Bond is an interesting departure from the wise-cracking, devil-may-care Bond of the past, it does mean that Bond is less distinguishable from other serious and grim action heroes like Jason Bourne.
Famous Five or Secret Seven novel.
Of the Bond girls, Naomie Harris gets the most screen time and action while Bérénice Marlohe as Sévérine (Silva's girlfriend) is the most exotic and glamorous. Miss Moneypenny get explained, which might have some relevance in a future film but was not necessary to the plot of this one.
20 odd predecessors and breaks new ground. On the plus side giving Judi Dench a bigger role was a great idea and Javier Bardem make a good super-villain as Silva. The Bond girls are good eye-candy, as usual, even if they are under appreciated by Bond himself. The opening chase scene through Istambul and onto the Varda Viaduct is spectacular and much better than Skyfall's finale. On the negative side: not only has Bond lost his sense of fun, he has also become sentimental, and the Skyfall Lodge was a new low in script writing.

Sears Holding's (SHLD) latest spin-off, Sears Hometown and Outlet (SHOS), starts to trade tomorrow. Based on the subscription rights price, it is expected to trade in the high 20s. I originally wrote an article back in September advising investors to stay away from SHOS.
However, avoiding does not necessarily mean shorting it. In the short term, SHOS could go higher because:
- It is profitable.
- It is cheap by a lot of valuation measures.
- It earned $1.80 in the first half of this year. It will trade at less than 10 times this years earnings. A lot of value investors will be fooled by these numbers.
- There are still 60 company owned stores. Let me explain.
As I mentioned in my original article, SHOS profitability rose due to huge margin improvements. Part of that margin improvement was due to the conversion of company owned stores to franchisee operated stores. The franchisee operated stores have to pay an initial franchisee fee of $25,000 and also have lower occupancy costs.
Here is the numbers breakdown for Hometown and Hardware Stores and Home Appliance Showrooms for last 2 quarters:
Figure 1: Number of Hometown and Hardware Stores and Home Appliance Showrooms
The company owned stores went down from 85 to 60 in the last quarter, while the franchisee operated stores went up from 86 to 104. The 941 independently owned and operated stores are all Sears Hometown stores and are not available to be converted to franchisee stores. However, the good news for SHOS is that there are still 60 company owned Hardware Stores and Home Appliance Showrooms which are available to be converted. This will at least keep margins flat in the near term.
However, what happens when there are no more stores left to convert? Margins will slide as the negative business fundamentals catch up with the company!
My advice is to avoid SHOS in the near term because there are catalysts that will drive the share price higher. However, with every quarterly report watch the number of company owned stores. When it reaches close to 0, think about shorting this stock!
Disclosure: I do now own SHLD or SHOS. I am short OSH.

I've made chicken gyros a few times before and was in the mood to have them again, however, with life the way it is these days I just don't have time for anything too elaborate. I decided to modify the recipe I have to make it much easier, faster, and (in my opinion) even better. If you have a Costco membership, I'd buy their chicken, tzatziki, feta and flat bread. They're delicious.
rotisserie chicken, torn in chunks
Italian dressing
tomatoes, diced
cucumber, diced
feta, crumbled
avocado, sliced
flat bread
Place the rotisserie chicken in a large skillet, lightly coat with Italian dressing (I used approximately half a cup) and heat the chicken while stirring occasionally. When the chicken is piping hot you're pretty much done.
To assemble, grab a warmed piece of flat bread and spread a nice dollop of tzatziki all around it. Add chicken and top with tomatoes, cucumber, avocado and feta. Fold it up like a taco and BAM. Dinner is served.

(AllHipHop News) A few West Coast rappers may have incited a rivalry among two of Chicago's youngest stars. During a recent interview, Lil Durk expressed his displeasure in Chief Keef seemingly siding with Game and Tyga in his current beef with the two rappers.
The day Game and Tyga released their diss song "Chiraq to L.A.", Chief Keef posted the single art to his personal Instagram account with the caption "Be bool. Go f*ck wit Blood nem!" During a recent interview on Get In Tune Radio Show, Durk explains how that decision has alienated Keef from his Chicago roots:
When the Tyga and Game song dropped, he posted it on his page. I'm like he ain't disrespect me only, he disrespected the whole Chicago, like he's running with another city. I'm not reaching out to [Keef]. It's over with. He with L.A.
According to Durk, he and Keef patched up their differences prior to Durk's beef with Tyga.

Powerful Reasons To Quit
Dear Editor,
Recently, the Surgeon General of the United States released a "50th Anniversary of the First Surgeon General's Report." This report is a comparison between what was known about tobacco use in 1964 and today. It states that we now know that 20 million smokers have died prematurely from cigarette smoking since the "First Report" in 1964. It also says, and I quote, "The tobacco epidemic was initiated and has been sustained by the aggressive strategies of the tobacco industry, which has deliberately misled the public on the risks of smoking cigarettes." The report also states that the health risks have increased over time, due to changes in the method these products are made.
In 1964, the First Report discussed the possibility that smoking could cause lung cancer. In this most recent report, it is stated that smoking causes lung cancer, but then goes much further. Smoking also causes cardiovascular disease and stroke. The Report goes on to "infer" that smoking also causes liver, colorectal, breast, and other forms of cancer. It also mentions COPD, asthma, and tuberculosis as other respiratory conditions. From a reproductive standpoint, smoking can cause congenital malformations of the fetus, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), ADHD in children of smoking mothers, ectopic pregnancy, and spontaneous abortion. And in men, it can cause male sexual dysfunction.
The Report then goes on to draw correlations between smoking and macular degeneration, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and compromising the immune system. Combine all of the above with the fact that smoking a pack a day costs $2,000 per year and you have some powerful reasons to quit. So do yourself and your family a favor, and call the Indiana Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-784-8669, go to www.IndianaQuitline.net, or contact the Owen County Family YMCA for assistance at 828-9622. The YMCA holds a free Tobacco Quit Class on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. and provides free patches, gum, and lozenges.

Berkeley Human Rights Day Event
On December 6, 2014 BORDC Legal Fellow Matthew Kellegrew participated in a panel discussion in observance of International Human Rights Day in Berkeley, California. The panel was composed of a vast array of activists working across the spectrum in the fields of Human Rights and Civil Liberties protections.
For his part, Matthew helped connect the dots between threats to human rights abroad, such as extrajudicial drone killings in the Middle East, and domestic civil liberties violations. He explored the militarization of local police as a consequence of war equipment coming home. During the Q&A period following the presentations, Matthew had several questions directed at him asking for more details about what local residents can do to strengthen human rights and civil liberties protections in their own towns. Matthew talked about the successes BORDC has had passing local ordinances limiting police access to military equipment.

San Jose Human Rights Day Vigil
Several dozen people braved a massive downpour in San Jose on December 10 in honor of Human Rights Day and journalist Gary Webb. Webb, an investigative journalist who previously worked for the San Jose Mercury Newspaper, is responsible for exposing the CIA's role in importing drugs into the United States during the peak of the crack epidemic.
The CIA denied Webb's allegations, destroying his career. He eventually committed suicide, only to be posthumously vindicated after the CIA admitted that his initial reporting was indeed correct. The vigil participants paid homage to Webb and his legacy, as well as the connections between the CIA led war on drugs, human rights violations internationally and civil liberties threats at home.

Social Report
The Swiss Social Report 2016 is now available
Based on systematically prepared data and indicators, the Social Report 2016 provides information about the current status and development trends in Swiss society. This issue focuses on wellbeing: How satisfied are the Swiss with their social living conditions and their financial situation? Does religion still play a role in the search for a meaningful life? What impact do social developments such as the rise in divorce rates have on the wellbeing of the affected people? Does political participation make people happy? Are impoverished people less satisfied with life than the wealthy? Does increasing mobility in work and leisure time have a positive or negative effect on wellbeing? The Swiss Social Report 2016 tries to answer questions like these.
The Swiss Social Report is a publication that, since 2000, appears every four years, thanks to the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. It consists of 75 indicators classified according to five major topics: the distribution of social goods, cultural diversity, social integration, political life, and the environment. These social indicators are supplemented with in-depth texts written by experts from Swiss universities. The Social Report is directed by a multidisciplinary team coming from a variety of academic disciplines, and has been published under the lead of FORS since 2008.
The 2000 Social Report served as a sort of prototype, examining general issues, while the 2004 and 2008 editions had their own specific orientations. The 2004 Social Report treated long-term changes in Switzerland in the course of the 20th century. The 2008 Social Report focused on comparisons of Switzerland with other European and non-European countries, broadening thus analyses of Swiss society in time and space. The 2012 edition emphasized intergenerational relationships and solidarity between generations.
The charts and the data are available on: www.socialreport.ch

From Houston, Texas, USA:
My friend is a fifty year old African American male. Until a few months ago, he was covered by a major health insurance carrier. However, his wife was the primary insurance holder, and they are now recently divorced. Due to living expenses, and child support, he is unable to afford the COBRA premium, and has not found a reasonable health insurance premium due to his pre-existing condition. Are there any programs or pharmaceutical companies that would provide him with reduced cost or free medications? His medications are as follows:
- Insulin NovoLog Mix 70/30
- Avandia 8MG Tabs
- Glucovance 2.5/500
- Hyzaar 50/12.5
Any information that you could provide would be most helpful, as he is near depletion, and I am concerned about his overall health.
Each pharmaceutical company has its own indigent/reduced price program. Participation is based on the income and assets of the applicant. Your friend's best bet is to attempt to go back to the ex-wife and try to get back on her insurance. Failing that, he can attempt to get individual coverage through a state sponsored HIPAA plan. Or, he can get a job that has health insurance. Have your friend go to Healthinsuranceinfo.net to learn more about health insurance options in Texas.

Having paid more than $190 million to settle copyright-infringement claims, Vivendi Universal subsidiary MP3.com on Friday sued the Palo Alto law firm that advised it on copyright matters.
The malpractice lawsuit against Cooley Godward seeks hundreds of millions of dollars in actual and punitive damages. "To my knowledge, this is the largest legal malpractice case ever filed in California," said Allan Browne, who represents MP3.com.
Vivendi's Universal Music Group subsidiary won a $53-million judgment against MP3.com in November 2000. Vivendi bought MP3.com six months later for $372 million, a bargain-basement price compared with the company's peak market value of more than $2 billion.
The lawsuit seeks to recover some of that lost value, along with the money MP3.com has paid to record labels, music publishers and attorneys--plus punitive damages. At least five copyright-infringement lawsuits are pending against the company.

Is Aishwarya Rai supporting Salman Khan's appointment as the goodwill ambassador for the Indian contingent to the 2016 Rio Olympics or isn't she?
Even as the media went to town proclaiming superstar Aishwarya Rai's support for her ex-flame, there is an online petition against the Bollywood star's appointment doing the rounds that has 'also' been started by Aishwarya Rai.
But relax! It's just one of those crazy coincidences since this Aishwarya Rai is not the 'REAL' one.
The petition on Change.org, titled 'Ban Salman Khan from being Good Will Ambassador 2016 Rio Olympics,' has received 414 supporters. Many may have even been directed to the petition due to curiosity since the petitioner is the former Miss World's namesake.
The petitioner claims that the move to appoint the 50-year-old star as the IOA ambassador is "regressive" and "reflects negatively on India".
She describes Salman Khan as a "serial Woman Hater/abuser", "an animal hunter" and "threat to endangered species","a threat to society and human life", who has "killed innocent people sleeping on the street.(sic)"
Meanwhile, the 'REAL' Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has came out in support of her former boyfriend and Bollywood star's appointment as goodwill ambassador of India's contingent for the upcoming Rio Olympics.
When asked about her views on the controversy, Aishwarya said, "I have to say that anyone, who is doing good to represent the country or working or speaking or standing for the betterment of art, music or sports, is wonderful and the person needs to be recognised."
Salman's selection had stirred up a controversy with many opposed to the move an some sports personalities, actors and politicians supporting the Indian Olympics Association's decision to appoint the popular movie star.
Interestingly, another of Salman's former lady loves -- actress Katrina Kaif, took a friendly jibe at him over the row, saying the superstar is not new to controversies.
From 'chinkara' poaching allegation in 1998 to 2002 hit-and-run case, Salman has had an unending tryst with controversies.
When asked about her take on the debate, Katrina quipped, "Salman Khan ko le kay controversy hai, woh naya cheez hai kya? (Is a controversy about Salman a new thing?)" Katrina, however, refused to comment further on the issue.

Ten-year-old Carlos Rosario was in Hartford's Camp Courant office more than he was on the playground at the start of the season in June.
Sometimes his temper got the best of him and he would be in trouble for fighting. Once he wanted to squish some milk cartons. It was no big deal until milk spewed out all over the kitchen floor.

Flush Valve Seal ONLY = $7.59
Q. "How do you replace the 'seal' on the older style Champion®4 flush valve?"
A. The following seal replacement directions are for the original Champion®4 flush valve assembly #3175.002: First, shut off the water supply to the toilet and flush the toilet to empty the water out of the tank. Disconnect the flush valve chain from the trip lever. Lift up the flush valve cylinder and remove the old seal by pulling it out of the groove and sliding it over and up the cylinder. Install the new seal by sliding it down over the flush valve cylinder. Make sure it is seated into the groove. Reattach the chain to the trip lever. Turn on your water supply. Check to make sure the seal is working correctly.
Q. "What is a bead setting and how do I adjust this?"
A.For flush valves with a float attached to the flapper chain, the "bead setting" refers to where on the chain the float is - in other words, the distance from the top of the flapper to the float. This controls how much water leaves the tank every time you flush the toilet. The higher the float, the less water that leaves the tank.To adjust the bead setting, you gently pull the float up or down the chain to the desired length. Sometimes there is a plastic piece you will need to temporarily remove to move the float. Just re-attach this piece once the float is in the correct position.
Q. "Are all American Standard® parts 'standard' and are ALL their products and parts made in America?"
A. A number of their products are made overseas (as is the case with many other plumbing manufacturers as well). Please do not assume that all products made by American Standard (Am. Stan.) are made in the U.S. The word "standard" and "American Standard®" are NOT identical. Most of their faucet parts will only fit their brand (as is the case with their competitors as well). Many of their toilet parts will only fit their brand of toilet. Not all of American Standard® parts are universal ("standard"). We get this question frequently, and it is probably because some people assume that since they have the word "standard" as part of their name that they must be using parts that are "standard"; as in universally fitting. Just as car bumpers don't fit on all brands of cars, parts for "standard" toilets and faucets will generally not fit on other brands. Generally you must buy parts specifically made for (designed to fit) your specific brand of toilet/faucets, etc.

Batman #8
- Story by
- James Tynion IV and Scott Snyder
- Art by
- Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, and Rafael Albuquerque
- Colors by
- FCO Plascencia and Nathan Fairbairn
- Letters by
- Patrick Brosseau and Richard Starkings
- Cover by
- FCO Pascencia, Greg Capullo, Jason Fabok, and Peter Steigerwald
- Publisher
- DC Comics
The "Night of the Owls" Bat-book crossover kicks off in the pages of "Batman" #8 with an (almost) unexpected attack on Bruce Wayne's home as the billionaire recovers from his Court of the Owls-induced physical and psychological injuries. As such, Scott Snyder shoves Bruce Wayne front and center in the skirmish under the premise of truly being surprised and not having a chance to don cape and cowl.
Snyder investigates stately Wayne Manor, treating the reader to some fun and fabulous Greg Capullo-drawn and John Glapion-inked secrets, tricks, and surprises, like moving the minute hand on the grandfather clock to reveal the secret passage from the manor to the Batcave. Those reveals are nice homages to the prior interpretations of Batman updated for a new generation, but aware and celebrating what once was. The opening chapter of "Night of the Owls" features Bruce and Alfred against a parliament of Talons. The exact number of foes and their locations are unknown, deftly raising the tension and suspense of the pending battle.
While Wayne struggles to comprehend what has become of Gotham, how it has slipped from his purview, the reader is afforded the opportunity to see Batman start to crack a little bit. In this setting, Snyder's interpretation of Bruce's relationship with Alfred and the voices he instills in both men is confident and comforting, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Snyder shows Alfred beginning to sweat things out a bit by the end of the issue, but Bruce simply finds more confidence to share and decides to hold his ground, defending Wayne Manor at all costs.
Capullo brilliantly draws all things Batman and Bruce Wayne from the "lucky" penny down in the Batcave up to the roof of Wayne Manor and everything in between in the exaggerated, energetic style we've come to expect from him. Glapion's inks lock the imagery into shadows and FCO Plascencia fills the world with all of the drab colors you would expect to be associated with the words "manor" and "cave" — browns and grays, blues and muted purples. It's a very moody looking book, all building to a final page reveal that breaks out of the standard set throughout the previous nineteen pages. Snyder does manage to save a surprise for the end of the lead-in tale certain to put a smile on many a Batfan's face.
This issue, in addition to costing you an extra buck, also offers up the first in a series of "Night of the Owls" related backup tales. The initial installment is co-written by Snyder and James Tynion IV. Focusing in tightly on Alfred, the story continues straight ahead from the lead-in tale, only with a leap in art style from Capullo, Glapion and Plascencia to Rafael Albuquerque and Nathan Fairbairn. More starkly rendered than the lead tale, this installment features Albuquerque's rougher and more tense linework. Fairbairn's color palette is a visual explosion in comparison to what Plascencia offers up front. The panic Alfred feels as he realizes what is coming together is quite evident in the visuals presented throughout this initial chapter.
As kickoffs to events go, "Batman" #8 delivers a good set-up and sincere motivation for extending the story beyond the pages of one title. "Night of Owls" takes shape organically, and given the trouble Batman has had with the Court of Owls and their Talons to this point, it's a good thing he has his own crimefighting network to call upon. How the various members of the Bat-Family handle the Talons is certain to be central to the story moving forward, but in this issue it is clearly established to be a cafeteria-style option, allowing the reader to determine their own level of comfort and involvement in the event that Snyder has meticulously crafted.

Allison sets up semifinal win for Texas
Setter Hannah Allison had 53 assists in Thursday's match
Texas junior setter Hannah Allison likes her options, and she should. There are really no bad choices when she is deciding who to set up for the next Longhorn kill.
Allison used all of those choices in the Texas offense on Thursday as the Longhorns advanced to the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship finale after a back-and-forth five-set victory against Michigan in the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky.
Four Texas players recorded double-digit kills led by junior outside hitter Bailey Webster with 18. Sophomore outside hitter Haley Eckerman notched 16 kills, while senior Sha'Dare McNeal contributed 13 and sophomore Khat Bell added 11.
Collectively, the Longhorns were efficient. The nation's top-hitting team posted a .316 for the match against the Wolverines as they moved on to their first title match since 2009.
"I think it makes it difficult for teams to scout certain players and try to stop one person because you have a lot of weapons to use," Allison said. "So it helps them balance each other. So not one person on a team has all the weight, not one person has to get all the kills. And I think that's the most important thing."
Allison likes to spread the offense around, and dished out 53 assists to her teammates in the match.
"For me, I can be a little bit creative with who I set, what play calls I make because I have so many players who can put the ball away," Allison said. "So that allows me to really spread that out and make us a little bit more unpredictable."
In the first set, Texas dominated Michigan, hitting .469 by playing practically errorless ball en route to a 25-11 win against the Wolverines. Michigan made adjustments, and Texas combined for 10 errors over the next two sets as the Wolverines took a 2-1 advantage in the match.
Michigan's momentum was palpable, but Texas did not panic. The Longhorns rallied for a 25-12 victory in the fourth set – once again behind efficient hitting (.455).
With the scored tied at eight in the fifth set, Texas came out of a timeout to score three points en route to securing a 15-11 win and a chance to play for the national championship.
"I'm just so proud of our group that we've been good all year. I've been saying that we've been good in the crunch," Texas head coach Jerritt Elliott said. "You never see them give up. Even though we give up games, you could see they just wanted to stay in this routine and battle."
"You have to be patient," Webster said. "And every ball, everything isn't going to be a kill. And although it would be nice if it was, but you know like every pass isn't perfect, every set isn't perfect, so for us to go swinging 100 percent on every swing I don't think would be very smart. I think we were just trying to eliminate errors. And although it took a long time, it came."
The Longhorns leaned on experience they have gained over the course of the season to pull out the victory.
"I think the biggest thing is we've learned how to manage our errors and manage just how we play, and at the beginning we were up and down at points and different sets," Eckerman said. "It was a battle. And once the season progressed, we were just calm and steady throughout the whole match. And we just learned how to manage a lot better."
Michigan head coach Mark Rosen, whose Wolverines played a grueling Big Ten Conference schedule, was impressed by the Longhorns.
"They played great [Thursday]," Rosen said. "They did a great job, especially down the wire, the match, and certainly wish them the best of luck. They're the most athletic team we've seen. It doesn't mean they're the best team that's going to win it all. But as far as physical athleticism and size, they're as good as we've seen."
Texas will be seeking the program's first NCAA title since winning the trophy in 1988 on Saturday.

Monta Ellis Should Choose Atlanta Hawks This SummerJuly 9, 2013
Free-agent guard Monta Ellis has whittled his list of preferred teams down to the Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Bobcats this summer, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN The Magazine.
The 27-year-old would be wise to choose the Hawks.
It all comes down to the better fit for Ellis. It's long been debated what his actual position or role should be. He's a smaller guard who can score on shooting guards, but has trouble defending them.
The short of it is that Ellis would be the ideal sixth man, coming in to inject life into a team off the bench with his scoring ability. But we all know that's not happening. He wants to start, and neither of the four teams he has looked at appears to be going against that.
So, the question becomes, is Ellis a point guard or a shooting guard?
Ellis works better as a point guard than a shooting guard. Last season with the Milwaukee Bucks, he registered a higher PER as a point guard than a shooting guard, via 82games.com. And, naturally, shooting guards had a higher PER against him than point guards did.
People will say that Ellis is a shoot-first guard, and that may be true. But he also has never been given much of a chance at point guard either. As a shooting guard, he's naturally been asked to score.
However, as Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel noted in February, Ellis can do quite well when he's asked to play point guard. After the J.J. Redick trade, Ellis received more minutes at the point. He finished the Feb. 26 game against the Dallas Mavericks as a point guard, registering nine assists in the process. In the next game against the Houston Rockets, he posted 13 assists.
Milwaukee won both games.
The reality is, we all know Ellis can get to the rim almost at will, and he's actually not a bad passer, either.
Also, one of the gripes about Ellis has been his curious desire to shoot a high volume of three-pointers despite converting at a 32 percent clip for his career. You have to wonder, if he's thrust into the point guard role, will he be more willing to attack the rim?
So, in the sense of calling Ellis a point guard, his best fit is with the Hawks.
Broussard wrote in his report: "Atlanta is looking to replace Jeff Teague with Ellis, and a sign-and-trade deal with Milwaukee is a strong possibility."
Broussard added: "New Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer was a longtime assistant in San Antonio, and he views Ellis as a point guard in the mold of Tony Parker, according to a source."
The Kings, Mavericks and Bobcats appear to be viewing Ellis as a shooting guard.
However, when considering Ellis as a point guard, he may not only be a strong addition to the Hawks, but a move to Atlanta might actually make him a more effective player in the NBA, as well.
