Translated by Martin Goodman My first childhood memories begin in these years. During these years approximately, the path of Zionism, which had started with the activities of Ezra Grosz and his friends, continued.
Four rivers passed through the city of Győr and they divided the city into five zones. The area where most of the Jews lived was called Győr-Sziget; here a voluntary ghetto was created that was isolated from the rest of the zones of the city. About 95% of the city's Orthodox Jews were concentrated in this Quarter, as well as a small portion of the city's Neolog Jews. All of the religious institutions of the Orthodox community were [located] here [in this Quarter]: the Orthodox synagogue, the Beit Midrash52, the religious school, the elementary school, the Mikveh53, the slaughterhouse, and the matzah54 bakery.
The synagogue was constructed in 1795 in a courtyard so that it would not be visible from the street. The synagogue was close to the river; at the time of the Tashlich55 prayer, it was only necessary to go a very short distance to reach the water. Near the buildings of the Jewish institutions, was the main street of the Quarter, Hid utca [Bridge Street], which received its name because at both of its ends there were bridges which separated it [the Quarter] from the center of the city. This street represented life: Everyone's livelihood was dependent on everyone else. There were grocery stores, butcher shops, a bakery, tailors, clothing and shoe merchandisers, bookstores, etc. Inhabitants of the Quarter were able to obtain all of their needs on this street.
The Zionist movement developed in this Orthodox quarter [Sziget] of Győr. The first [members of] the movement were student inhabitants of Győr-Sziget who studied at the high school in the city, where they learned the doctrines of Zionism from the Gross brothers who had moved to Győr from Austria. A group of enthusiastic high school students organized/founded a scouting group called Kadimah56.
About 40 to 50 high school students regularly assembled in an empty apartment in a large house on Akác utca [Acacia Street], which the students' parents placed at their disposal at the request of my brother Dori of blessed memory, one of the founders of the group. As a girl, I was very interested about what happened in these secret meetings there was excited activity when they prepared for the Purim party, Chanukah celebrations, [and] Memorial Day of the Prophet of Zionism57. There were subscribers to the Deutsche Rundshau58 newspaper from Berlin, and each week they read a survey about what was happening in the Land of Israel.
Likewise, there were historical lectures [on] Dubnow and Graetz59, [and] literary [lectures] on Bialik, Achad Ha'Am, Tschernikovsky, and Peretz60 these names and the activities associated with them, we learned there.
The movement belonged to the Jewish Scout movement Kadimah in Hungary. In 1925, there was a national camp [event] in the vicinity of Budapest; they [the scouts] sailed there on the Danube [River] in a boat.
After the boys completed high school, they founded a branch of the youth movement [called] Brisiyah61, and in parallel, a branch of the youth movement [called] Aviva62 was founded by the girls. There were five girls in Aviva and there was a very strong bond between us.
Zionist activity was not welcome in Győr. Both communities, the Orthodox and the Neolog, in accordance with their [respective] viewpoints, opposed Zionist organizing, and [therefore] the meetings were conducted again in secret. The older [Zionist organization members] indoctrinated and instructed the younger [members], and there were orderly activities.
In 1929, we had a special experience. A Jewish National Fund film about the Land of Israel called Spring in Palestine was shown. The showing took place in the biggest movie theater in the city, and this roused the Jewish community of Győr from its indifference.
Through the years, branches of the Histadrut Ha'Zionit [Zionist organization] and [the Jewish] National Fund [JNF] were founded, and later, a branch of WIZO63 [was founded].
Zionist activity in Győr was given a boost when Dr. Lemberger (a lawyer) and his wife moved into the city around the year 1930. They had a rich Zionist history and experience, and they guided the youth in their activities.
At the end of the 1920s, the Zionist [movement] received official recognition in Hungary, and at the beginning of the 1930s, the local branch [of the Zionist movement] was also recognized. Important leaders visited us from Budapest such as Dr. Patai, the well-known writer [and] editor of the monthly journal Múlt és Jövõ, Dr. Nissan, the president of the Histadrut Ha'Zionit and others.
The movement expanded, [but] on the other hand, assimilation strengthened since most of the Jews wanted to demonstrate that they were Hungarian. The city was an industrial city in which the majority of the factories were founded by Jews, such as: an alcohol distillery, factory for matches, refining oil, a flourmill, sweets factory, boat inspections, etc. Owners of the plants wished to be part of general society and not to emphasize their Jewishness.
The city of Győr was a large commercial center because it was the halfway point between Vienna and Budapest. Most operators of banks and large corporations were Jewish. In the center of the city, on the main street, there were large splendid stores; all of them were owned by Jews. The city and its inhabitants developed and the standard of living went up. The percentage of Jews in the free professions such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. was high. This upper stratum of Jewry belonged to the Neolog community. There were about 5000 Jews in the Neolog community and about 1000 in the Orthodox one. The Rabbi of the Neolog community was Dr. Schwarz of blessed memory who led [efforts against] assimilation.
Zionist activity was the work of a small group [from] among the members of the community that was not deterred by troubles, [and] that [was engaged] constantly on behalf of [charitable] funds and the Land of Israel, and it [this small group] achieved substantial results.
In the middle of the 1930s, meetings began with Zionists from nearby cities such as Szombathely, Sopron, Pápa, Sárvár, etc. Also, Zionism was a minority [of popular opinion among Jews] in these cities, but an active minority. Evening debates were conducted with the assimilationists and this was a source of acquiring new supporters.
At the head of every region, stood the Head of the Galil64. Life in the various branches was simultaneously effective and happy; bonds of friendship were formed, and sometimes the meetings led to matches [i.e., marriage].
Once a year, they traveled to the national congress that was held in Budapest.
The ascent of Hitler to power in 1933 did not disturb the tranquility of the assimilated majority. Berlin was far away and persecuted Jews had not yet reached Győr. However, the occupation of Austria in 1938 caused profound horror; Vienna was only a two-hour journey [from Győr]. Refugees that arrived spoke about the horror, but then also, there were some [individuals] who said that such a thing could not happen in Hungary. /some of the youth reacted differently; many of them immigrated illegally to Israel in 1938-39 together with refugees from Austria and Czechoslovakia. These [youths and refugees] survived after the Holocaust.
In 1935, a young man, Dr. Emil Roth of blessed memory, who had spent two years during his studies as a student of Rabbi Abraham Kook [the chief Rabbi in Palestine], was chosen to be the Rabbi of the Neolog congregation. He was a hard working man, a passionate Zionist, a saintly disseminator of the Hebrew language. We were exceedingly happy.
Also, time worked to our advantage. Rabbi Dr. Roth, worked from early in the morning till late at night, especially with the youth[s of the community]. He organized courses in Hebrew for all age groups, founded a Jewish choir, [which participated in the prayers in the Neolog synagogue] and translated the songs of the Land of Israel into Hungarian. The choir reaped successes not just in Győr, but also in other cities. He gave lectures about building of the Land of Israel accompanied with slides, and at the time of Sabbath Eve prayers, the elegant synagogue of the Neolog congregation was always full. Also, throughout the week, he gave lectures and he arranged a portion of the prayer [service] like a community sing-along.
He made the teachers in the elementary school learn Hebrew so that afterwards they would be able to teach [Hebrew]. Rabbi Dr. Roth, advanced the spread of the Zionist idea, and he did not allow assimilationists65 to interfere. Regrettably however, fate wished otherwise.
In 1938, at the time of the official appearance of the Hungarian Prime Minister in Győr, Dr. Kallós66 of blessed memory, who had the title Chief Counselor to the Government, sat on the podium with other important persons. The Prime Minister proclaimed in his speech that the Jews must be restrained and [that] the government had decided to submit a proposal for a statute that would limit the percentage of Jews in the free professions and in other jobs67. The impact of the speech did not take long to arrive. Dr. Kallós became an impassioned Zionist and supported all of the activities of Rabbi Dr. Roth.
Afterwards, there were no more obstacles for the Zionist campaign; however the days of the Jews of Győr were numbered. Induction of men into work brigades began and they were taken to Akaunah68. All of the surrounding countries were under Nazi occupation. We were cut off from any possibility of escape.
I immigrated to Israel in 1945, and at that time I became aware of the awful tragedy. My dear family, whose life was founded on the Zionist vision, perished in the German Hell together with the rest of the victims of Győr. In my great pain, it was difficult to observe the tremendous experience of immigration to Israel, a life's dream, being realized at [so] terrible a price.
I lost a mother, sisters, and their little children that were already singing Hebrew songs.
When I arrived in the Land of Israel, someone from my city who had reached America wrote me, It was your fate to live in the Land of Israel because in your dreams in Győr, you were there [in Israel].

Translated by Martin Goodman I shall relate to you my memories of the city of Győr in Hungary. (You can find its location on a map between Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and Vienna, the capital of Austria.) What I relate is an eye-witness account. Childhood events are definitely enlarged or reduced by hindsight. I do not want to speak about generalities, rather to tell you about what happened to me in the years of my childhood.
I was born into a family with many children and few means. I was raised on the lap of tradition and observance of Mitzvot69. The house had a modest air [consisting of] making do with little, and a difficult war of survival on the part of the parents. The longing to acquire knowledge and perseverance in studies was woven into my life by the personal examples of my brother and sisters of blessed memory.
Kindergarten: Children of the wealthy families attended private kindergartens in the central neighborhoods of the city. [However,] this was not my fate. Already in my first days in kindergarten, I felt the discrimination of children of the neighborhood against me as a Jewish girl. We lived in a quarter of Catholic workers. The kindergarten that I attended was run by nuns. The nuns would exchange the sandwiches in my little satchel with dry black bread. My parents of blessed memory were greatly astonished and upset when they heard me quoting verses of the prayer[s] of the Christians. In response, they immediately withdrew me from this kindergarten. I waited with longing to enter the Orthodox [Jewish] elementary school. It was a small school with four grades that was located in the courtyard of the Orthodox synagogue. We learned reading, writing, and fundamentals of arithmetic, as was standard at that time. Religious studies were central in the curriculum: reading and orientation in the prayer book. The girls gathered on Sabbath afternoons to study Rashi script70 and the reading of Go out and see71.
Elementary school life was joyless; the study books were dry and distant from the experience of life. The walls were unadorned, we saw no flower nor did we encounter any living thing. No joyful song ever issued from within the walls of the school. We were acquainted with the teacher's bamboo rod that would descend on the fingertips of a student who made a mistake in an arithmetic exercise or who revealed a lack of interest in the lessons. How happy we were when winter days brought snow that covered the small hill near the school. We enjoyed sliding on sleds on the snow and to go [skating] in rust-covered skates on the frozen river.
After four years of studies, I left the school and transferred alone to the fancy State girls' Gimnázium in the center of the city. There were doubts and fear in my heart whether I would be able to pass the entrance examination and regarding the high level of studies in the Gimnázium. On the first day of studies, I discovered that I was one of many Jewish girls.
I was very jealous of them because they were equipped with much knowledge that they had acquired at the Neolog Jewish school. I learned about the Neolog school personally from my good friend. In the courtyard of the main Neolog synagogue, the boys and girls studied in separate classes. The four boys classes were in the right wing and the four girls classes were in the left wing. Their teaching staff had good training.
Adjusting to Gimnázium life was not easy. It is hard today for you to imagine how far my home was from the school. The road had no public transportation nor were there bus or electric train lines. I had to walk for a long time in the cold, in the snow, and in the rain. On my way to school, I crossed a bridge (the city was surrounded by four rivers and the quarter that I lived in was called Sziget [and] I was almost blown by strong wind into the water because the drawing board was under my frozen arm. Only the bundle of books (for each subject, there were three books) that were sandwiched [together] with a leather strap kept me on the ground. I had to run the entire way [to school] because I did not know the correct time. My parents did not give me a wrist-watch. On my way, the clocks in the church towers displayed different times. Many times, I arrived too early and I waited on the steps in front of the locked gate of the school, and other times I was late and I stood to my great embarrassment in front of the angry principal.
With trembling and a heavy heart, I awaited the first distribution of report cards in the Gimnázium. How would my parents be able to pay such a high tuition? Would I be forced to interrupt my studies? To my great happiness, even before distribution of the report cards, the principal and the class teacher informed me that I was freed from paying tuition until completion of eight years of study in the Gimnázium because of my accomplishments in studies and [because of my] behavior, and taking into account our difficult economic status. Thus, I was privileged to have a scaled tuition in 1922. I enjoyed the studies and the various subjects. Most of the teachers, who included absolute anti-Semites, esteemed my effort and my strong will to learn, and related to me with special sympathy. [All] except for the mathematics and physics teacher who frequently insulted me and called me to the chalkboard using the name of derision Lily of the Sharon72 to the accompanying laughter of the Catholic girls. It especially angered him that I was officially excused from writing on Saturdays. (Sunday was the [only] day that was free from studies.)
On Sabbath afternoons, we Jewish girls assembled to go together to synagogue for the afternoon prayer [service] at 3pm. Imagine for yourself the running and the Sabbath rest, since studies finished at two [o'clock] and I was unable to enjoy the taste of the Sabbath meal. All the children gathered in the synagogue, boys and girls who studied in the upper grades of the high schools: the Reál School for boys, the commercial school for boys, [and] the professional school for girls. After prayers, the boys were called to the Torah and they read the portion of the week. Rabbi Dr. Schwarz, would give his perpetual sermon, without content or feeling. The same Rabbi Dr. Schwarz, was hard on me during my first days73 in the Gimnázium. When he visited the Gimnázium and also at the celebration at the end of the year, he did not stop ridiculing my Ashkenazi74 pronunciation of prayers that I had learned and to which I had become accustomed during my four years of study at the Orthodox elementary school. I learned to pretend to be a Sephardi Jew in order not to have a different [pronunciation] from my comrades. Throughout all my years of study in the Gimnázium, members of every religion (Catholics, Protestants, etc.) had religion classes. We, the Jewish girls, also studied [religion] separately. What did we learn in these classes? Little. Jewish history, translation of the prayers from the Siddur75 and orientation in the prayer book, basic summaries of the Tanach76, laws, customs, and holidays.
Purim a time to rejoice, to joke, and to dress in fancy dress. When [the Hebrew month of] Adar arrives, [one should] increase [participation] in joy77. The days of Adar drew near, but they were ordinary work days in the Gimnázium without a sign or hint of the holiday. The religion teacher did not think of preparing for us any sort of small play regarding King Ahashverosh and Queen Esther. We, the girls of the Orthodox congregation, secretly organized a play and a Purim game [called] Purim Spiel78. The actors of course were only girls. The organization of the women of the Orthodox congregation worked hard to prepare for the play. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Klára néni79, all of the tickets were sold. The proceeds from the performance were given as a holiday gift and as support for the needy.
Our home became a small theater. In one corner, my sister of blessed memory who played the part of his majesty King Ahashverosh, lifted her voice in rage against Queen Vashti80. In another corner, my second sister wore a black caftan81, attached peyot82 to her face, and sang with great feeling in Yiddish the well-known song [entitled] Cheder Katan Vi'Tzar ViChamim83. You all know this song in Hebrew. I had various roles to play, including dancing. I remember that at the conclusion of my appearance, as I stood on the stage, the audience threw flowers, candy, and chocolates at me. The thundering applause filled my heart with great happiness. It was an unforgettable experience.
At the age of 12, the girls prepared for a magnificent Bat Mitzvah celebration that was held in the Neolog synagogue. I remember the festive appearance of the girls dressed in silk dresses, standing in a semi-circle in front of the Holy Ark84, and proclaiming that they would be loyal to the Jewish religion. Some of them converted to Christianity as the years passed; they became estranged from religion and assimilated.
It was only in the concentration camp that the religion teacher who had instructed generations of boys and girls saw the error of his ways and felt regret for his fatal mistake of not instructing the youth about fundamental principles of Judaism and about Zionism and immigration to the Land of Israel.
In spite of the opposition to Zionism and the negative stand of our teacher/Rabbi, underground Zionist activism spread. Our home served as a secret meeting place for the Zionist movement in miniature. [Starting] from the age of 12-13, I came in first contact with Zionist thought. I met the boy-friends and girl-friends85 of my brother and sisters of blessed memory, who came to our home for meetings, encounters, and lectures. Even representatives of Zionist youth [groups] from adjacent cities and from the capital city came to our home in order to discuss the problems of the Land of Israel in a group setting. Long arguments were conducted about the political situation in the Land [of Israel]. The meetings concluded with enthusiastic songs about the Land of Israel. We were organized into three [Zionist youth] groups: older boys were called Brisiyah86, older girls were called Aviva HaGedolah87, and we, the female students of the high schools were called Aviva HaTzi'ira88, and I was their leader. On Saturday nights, we gathered and prepared lectures about modern89 Hebrew literature, we read stories about the history of the people of Israel. All these activities had to be kept secret because of the school teachers and especially because of the religion teacher and the Rabbi. If our secret had been revealed, they would have immediately removed us from [within] the school building walls.
At school, we worked very hard to prove our strength and to demonstrate our educational achievements. We Jewish girls worked to endure these exaggerated requirements. You can certainly understand this [given that] in the anti-Semitic environment of 1930, that of 18 girls in the eight grade in the state Gimnázium, eleven Jewish girls completed their studies with distinction and received a special prize. An even smaller number of Jewish students were admitted into universities [because of the] (Numerus Clausus) [edicts]. The department of medicine admitted Jewish candidates [only if] all of their grades on their report cards were very good. Only one [Jewish] applicant with [a grade of] good was admitted to [study] liberal arts [in university]; all the other [Jewish students that were admitted to study liberal arts had] very good grades. I was admitted to Pécs University, a provincial city in the south of Hungary.
In the university, I enjoyed the sympathy of professors on the faculty. Our will to study was great (we were two best friends from Győr). We rented a small room with windows facing the entrance of the university. One day in the year 1935, we saw from the window in our room that students from the department were dressed in holiday garb, embroidered with symbols [and] bands, [and] in hats of the extremist Catholic student organizations. In letters of martyrdom to the Son [i.e., Jesus]90, they held up a placard [that read] ENTRANCE TO JEWS IS FORBIDDEN. Nothing like this had ever happened in the history of the university. We stayed at home. The professor started his lecture and stopped it after the first sentence. He immediately sensed our absence (no wonder throughout the five years of studies, we sat on the first bench in the auditorium this was the regular place for the Győr girls). He asked the secretary to tell us to come at once to his lecture. (They all knew where we lived.) We entered the auditorium. All those present became silent for a number of seconds. The lecture continued. Regretfully, this was just one isolated instance of identification with us in a sea of hate [against] the Jews.
In the university, Zionist students were involved in intensive Zionist activity. We met every two weeks, and every one had an assigned task to prepare lectures on the history of Israel [by] (Dubnow), [on] Zionist thought [by] (Achad Ha'Am, Pinsker), [and on] surveys from newspapers that dealt with the status in the Land of Israel and discussions about political problems in the Land [of Israel]. The most important thing was that in this framework, we began to study the Hebrew language intensively.
[During my] final years in university, I studied in Budapest. I joined the Zionist students group Maccabiah91. Day and night studying to receive my doctorate demanded most of my time and prevented me from taking part in activities of the Zionist group.
End of studies, end of [my] memoirs. I was a partner in the fate of the Jewish families at the time of the conquest/occupation of Hungary by the Nazis, [I was] banished to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen with the members of my family. I immigrated to the Land [of Israel] in the year 1945 in the first [wave of] immigration after the war. Is it possible to forget the childhood years that have passed? Never. My life in Israel is the complete and happy life of a Jewish woman. Every day here, I feel that I add a small stone to building the Land [of Israel], a small part in a larger complete picture.

BOSTON -- Following the Miami Dolphins' failure to secure public funding for renovations to Sun Life Stadium, San Francisco sits in the driver's seat to host Super Bowl L, with the owners' vote on tap Tuesday.
But that hasn't lessened the effort of the Bay Area's host committee in putting together a presentation to lock it up at the NFL Spring Meeting.
Watch NFL Network's live "Super Bowl Selection Show" at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday to see which cities will host Super Bowls L and LI.
» Breer: San Francisco in driver's seat
» Darlington: Miami left out by shifting realities
» Pick Six: Super Bowl first-time hosts
» Cities with best chance to land Super Bowl bids
The presentation will showcase Super Bowl L as a turning-of-the-page for the league, with San Francisco's plan to honor the past and provide a glimpse into the game's future with the 49ers' new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara as the setting.
According to a high-level source, the host committee will highlight the concept of bringing the big game back to California, where the first Super Bowl was held, after a drought of what will be 13 years. And the group will also position the new technologically advanced facility, which opens in the South Bay in 2014, as a beacon of where the league is headed over the next 50 years.
Plans are for Levi's Stadium to be the NFL's first ticket-less, cashless building, with fans having the ability to control their experience through smartphones. The 49ers plan on working with Yinz Cam to develop an application specialized to maximize the experience, with the team employing its own in-stadium broadcast crew to bring information to the fans, make local and opponents' radio calls available and the NFL RedZone channel accessible.
The ideas mirror a league-wide effort to keep fans coming to stadiums by giving them some of the benefits of being at home.
Other elements of the San Francisco committee's presentation are expected to include:
» The group will highlight its Super Bowl plan as the "greenest" ever. Levi's Stadium will be the first to be "neutral to the grid," meaning that for the Niners' 10 home games each year, the stadium will be completely powered by the sun.
» As part of the presentation, the importance of the public/private partnership in building the facility will be pointed out. About 12 percent of the $1.2 billion bill will be footed through public funds, and the plan is to put some of the financial windfall of hosting a Super Bowl back into the community and make Super Bowl L the "most philanthropic Super Bowl ever."
More ...
» The Super Bowl plan will be presented as a regional one, much in the way South Florida's past Super Bowls were. San Francisco is the bid city, and as such the vast majority of the events will be downtown. The likelihood is the clubs will be hubbed at Stanford and San Jose State, with the University of California, Berkeley and the Niners' home facility also possibilities.
» Also, the plan for getting people around will be shown, including new light rails to allow for people to move between San Francisco and Santa Clara, which is 45 miles to the south.
The hope, also, is that Santa Clara can use its first Super Bowl as a springboard to land future Super Bowls.
The Oakland Raiders, across the Bay from the 49ers, haven't involved themselves in the project. The league has raised the idea of the Niners and Raiders sharing Levi's Stadium, but to this point the Raiders haven't reached out to the Niners to discuss it, preferring to focus on their own stadium plans.

Gammon Empire - Online Backgammon Rules and Resource
Here at GammonEmpire.com a guide to one of the most fantastic games backgammon you'll find a wealth of information. Our site aims to assist both new players to backgammon as well as those with more experience. This page specifically focuses on the rules of backgammon, if however you use the right hand navigation bar you can read articles about other subjects we've put together that are backgammon specific and related.
Object of the Game
The aim of the game is to try and bring all of your checkers onto your own home board and then to retrieve them from the board, known as bearing off. The winner is the first player to remove all of his or her checkers from the board.
Starting the Game
Each player will be given a dice cup and also two dice. To start the game, both players can roll one of the dice and the player with the highest number gets to go first while using the two numbers from his or her dice and also the two numbers from the opponents dice. If both players happen to roll exactly the same number, another roll must take place to until a starting player is decided upon.
Rolling the Dice
Players take turns in throwing the dice throughout the duration of the game, unless a player is unable to make a legal move. In this case, their move is forfeited. The roll of the dice will reveal the amount of pips a player can move his checkers and a pip is basically the distance between each point.
If the dice are showing the same number, it is called a double (for example 4-4 or 6-6) and when this happens, a player can advance four moves rather than just two. Therefore if the player is to roll a 5-5, he can then move up to as many as four checkers, but an individual move may consist of as many as 5 pips.
Rules of Rolling
Moving the Checkers
The roll of both dice denotes the start of each players turn. The player can then move one or more checkers based on the numbers displayed on his dice. Therefore the numbers on display on both of the dice count for two individual moves.
You can only move a checker to an open point, one that doesn't contain two or more checkers from your opponent. Therefore a checker can be moved to a point if it only happens to contain one of the opponent's checkers. When this happens, the checker is 'hit' and then positioned on the bar (refer to 'hitting and entering' below).
To make sure that single checkers (aka 'blots') don't become vulnerable to being hit, a player can try and 'make a point' by using his roll. You can make a point simply by placing two or more of your checkers on it. You then 'own' that exact point, which means that your opponent won't be able to touch down on it or move a checker to that point.
If it is legally possible to do so, a player is required to use both numbers of a roll (or all four numbers of a double). When it is only possible to play one number, that number must be played. The player will lose his turn when neither of the numbers can be played.
Hitting and Entering
The blot is the single checker on a point. When a player moves a checker onto the blot of an opponent, or happens to touch down on it while moving the combined value of a roll, the blot is hit and must then re-enter into the opposing home table. You won't be able to take any further moves until you have brought the checker on the bar back into play.
Re-entry needs to be made on a point which is equal to one of the numbers rolled by the player and only of that point isn't owned by the opponent. The player will lose his turn if he cannot enter. When a player has more than one of his checkers on the bar, he is required to enter as many as possible and then the remainder of his turn must be forfeited. When his last checker has been entered, any numbers on the dice which have been unused must then be played by moving either another checker or the checker that was entered.
A player is classed as having a closed board when he or she has made all six points in his home board. A player cannot re-enter any checkers into his rival's home board if the opponent has any checkers on the bar. This basically means that he will forfeit any rolls and this will keep happening until the other player ends up having to open a point in his home board, therefore creating a point of entry.
Although a player may forfeit his roll, he won't forfeit his right to double at the start of each turn (if he has access to the doubling cube that is).
Bearing Off
A player can begin 'bearing off' when all 15 checkers have been moved on to his home board. A player can only bear off a checker when the dice they roll matches the point on which a checker is resting on. When this happens, the checker can be removed from the board. The checkers which are removed can never re-enter the game.
Bearing off cannot take place if the player has any checkers outside his home board or on the bar. Therefore during the bearing off process, if a player leaves a blot and this is ultimately hit by his rival, the player must then replace it back in his home board before he can continue removing the checkers (bearing off) again.
In the process of bearing off, players need to remove checkers only from the points which match the numbers that have been rolled on the dice. It is not mandatory to bear checkers off. If a player wants to moves checkers within his home board, he can do so and then if a player ends up rolling a number which is higher than the highest point in which his checker is positioned, he must then apply that particular number to the highest occupied point.
Although the rules clearly state that both numbers must be played where possible, they can be played in either order.

Ten years ago, English Language Arts teachers used to speak of inspiring their students to become lifelong readers and lovers of the written word. They encouraged students to discover literature through their favorite authors and genres. Reading was supposed to be a magical experience that transported young people to new worlds. Excitement was the reading teacher's buzzword.
The concept was simple: If students could latch onto reading and writing with a passion, then they would likely continue reading and writing –– and learning –– for a lifetime, whether they attended college or not.
Meanwhile, math teachers used to speak of applying mathematics to real-life situations, like creating budgets, balancing checkbooks or plotting mileage between points A, B and C. Yes, students were expected to move on to higher-order math concepts. But math was supposed to begin with everyday situations. Fun was the math teacher's buzzword.
Flash-forward 10 years. Teachers and students now face a daunting array of new standards that federal and state education officials say are geared toward preparing all students for college and work. Universities and employers have for too long complained that students are finishing high school wholly unprepared for the demands of higher education and the workplace. And so the Common Core State Standards were born.
According to the website corestandards.org, the Common Core State Standards Initiative "is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that states voluntarily adopt. The standards are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to enter credit-bearing entry courses at two- or four-year colleges or enter the workforce." States began adopting the standards in 2010.
Education officials in New York and Kentucky raced to implement Common Core, and this past year they completely reworked their English Language Arts and mathematics exams for grades three to eight to reflect the new standards.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Thirteen NFL coaches and seven general managers stepped to the podium Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine. The biggest names of the 2013 quarterback class also took to the microphone.
Friday is the busiest day of the week for the media at the combine, and Around The League was there for it all. Here's what we learned:
» The San Francisco 49ers -- via coach Jim Harbaugh -- publicly say they are unlikely to release quarterback Alex Smith. But what else are they going to say? I'm still doubtful any team will give up a pick for the honor of inheriting Smith's contract. This standoff could last for a little while.
» Around The League broke a little news on Friday! Okay, it was a "little" bit of news. But St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead told us that they will not use the franchise tag this season on wide receiver Danny Amendola (or any other players).
» The Green Bay Packers are looking toward strange places (Texas A&M) in an effort to learn how to stop the read option.
» West Virginia's Geno Smith noted that he's not a "running quarterback," but he could fit into any offensive system and perform some read-option concepts if asked. USC quarterback Matt Barkley answered a number of questions about his arm strength.
» Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell told Around The League that Blaine Gabbert wouldn't have any advantage in the team's planned "open competition" at quarterback. Gabbert is no longer the "incumbent." The Jaguars are not giving up on Gabbert, but they aren't necessarily counting on him either.
» The same is true for the Cleveland Browns and Brandon Weeden. The Browns are already open to dealing the quarterback, just one year after drafting him in the first round. Regime changes are rough on quarterbacks.
» Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said it would be a "great opportunity" to add Charles Woodson to the roster. It's hard to say whether this was just Carroll being Carroll and sending bouquets to a good player, or whether there is serious interest.
» Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano mistakenly called Colts defensive back Vontae Davis by the name "Vonta Leach." Leach is a running back for the Baltimore Ravens.
"Blame it on the chemo," Pagano said.
» I learned Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert is tired of being called a pass-catching tight end. He said he has the "want to" to become a better blocker. I also learned that Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib is a season-ticket holder of the Philadelphia Eagles. Nassib said it would be a dream come true to be drafted by his hometown team.
» The Dallas Cowboys are keeping Jay Ratliff for another season. And they aren't looking to add a young, developmental quarterback behind Tony Romo.
» It's safe to slow down on the whole "Tom Coughlin could retire after this year" storyline.
» It was position change Friday. Oakland Raiders running back Taiwan Jones is becoming a cornerback. NFL teams want Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein to work out at tight end even though he won't do it.
» A rough day for Rutgers tight end D.C. Jefferson. Ian Rapoport reports he might have torn his pectoral muscle on the bench press. USC center Khaled Holmes and Kent State guard Brian Winters also got hurt Friday on the bench press.
» And ... scene. We'll be cranking out posts and videos all day long Saturday, including our NFL.com/Live coverage of the combine. Actual drills ahoy!

Flipping Over Genealogy (At NGS 2012, Of Course)Posted: May 10, 2012 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Events, NGS Leave a comment
Dear friends, I'm at the National Genealogical Society's 2012 Family History Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. There is much wonderful information and insight to study and ponder here — overwhelming, really.
In fact, it's almost as overwhelming as my hotel wireless connection is underwhelming, leaving everything I load image-challenged. Mr. Archaeologist assures me that back home, my images are just lovely, so I'm going to take it on faith that the photos on this post are showing up. Sort of like the courtiers in "The Emperor's New Clothes," I guess.
From Day One: Here are some contrasting views. First, the Big Exhibit Hall with all the genealogy bells and whistles:
And next: Guess what! The genealogists are sharing space with the gymnasts! That's the Men's Junior Olympic Nationals going on across the hall.
It was fascinating watching the twists and turns and somersaults for a few minutes, before returning to the mental gymnastics in the conference seminar rooms. The lectures have been lively, humorous and thought-provoking. My only gripe is that I want to go to all of them, and I cannot figure out how to clone myself. Many lectures will eventually be available on CD-ROM via a link on the NGS conference page, which is a comfort.
As ever when I attend an event like this, at day's end I am tempted to bang my head on my hotel-room desk with all the fresh realizations of things I coulda/woulda/shoulda done in my research. But only momentarily. The dominant chord is always excitement. Yesterday's shoulda-dones are just that … done. The future, on the other hand, is looking good, what with all these bright new shiny genealogy ideas to play with.

Swingin' Bunts...
-- LOOGY Javier Lopez agreed to a $2.375M deal with SF, avoiding arbitration. He went to the Giants at the deadline for OF John Bowker and RHP Joe Martinez. Bowker looks like a camp longshot while Martinez was sold to the Indians after being DFA'ed. A lefty in the pen would sure look good about now...
-- The Mets just signed RHP Chris Young; Carl Pavano reupped with the Twins; Jeff Francis went to KC; geez, the Giants even signed Jeff Suppan to a minor-league deal. About the only worthwhile arm left on the market belongs to Justin Duchscherer, and he just worked out for two AL clubs.
He'll hold another open audition next week. Word is JD is looking for a team he can start for; due to arm and hip woes, many suitors look at him as a bullpen option.
The Pirate efforts to improve the rotation may have begun and ended with Kevin Correia and Scott Olsen.

It definitely doesn't look good for the Pirates in terms of any additional outside reinforcements for the pitching staff. The whole key, as it so often is with pitchers, is health. If Correia and particularly Olsen can stay healthy, I have no doubt whatsoever that both will be better than the guys they replaced. Olsen probably has a higher ceiling than Correia, but both have enough of a track record that I think we could reasonably expect 12-14 wins and a 4.25-ish ERA from both of them if they can take the ball every fifth day. Even that kind of major league average production would make our horrendous starting rotation significantly better. Which it had better be, because it looks like Opie has miscalculated when it comes to the offseason free agent reliever market. Again, he did a great job last offseason, but he has yet to replace Ledezma, Carrasco, Dotel, and especially Lopez. It looks like a lot of other teams paid attention to what happened last offseason, and they have moved much more aggressively this time around to lock up the better pitchers, especially the better relievers.
Hopefully there will be enough reinforcements coming up from the minors soon enough that our lack of depth won't hurt too badly, but we're definitely thin at the moment, especially in the 'pen. Well, okay, we have a lot of starting pitchers kicking around, just very few good ones. So we're thin in the 'pen and in terms of quality starters.

Actually, Wil, that's probably on purpose. They have a handful of guys that may be arriving as soon as mid-season, so to block them with mediocre arms would be counter-productive.
Pitching is expensive, and even dealing for a top arm is tough; the Pirate system is better, but not that deep yet that it can package three or four guys for a top gun.
And I can't really blame the FO for miscalculating the reliever market; it's really broken the usual limits for both contract amount and length this off-season. Whether that's a new reality or an anomaly, well, too early to tell.

I do understand the idea that we have to have one or two open spots for the top minor league arms who figure to arrive at some point in 2011. But I still think we would be well served to have landed one more or less "sure thing" to plug into our starting rotation this offseason. Correia, I suppose, comes closest, but there are whispers about his shoulder and he's no worldbeater in any event. Olsen has more potential, but has also been hurt quite often throughout his career. Had we landed a younger veteran like Jorge de la Rosa or even a more or less reliable veteran like Carl Pavano, I'd feel a lot better about our rotation. Don't forget, too, that even if we ended up with a sudden glut of good young pitchers, we could still trade a veteran or two at the deadline to clear space. Call me paranoid, but after last season's debacle, and after being subjected to literally months of the worst pitcher in the universe in Charlie Morton simply for lack of any viable alternative(s), I still say you can never have enough pitching.
That, plus our 'pen still looks thin to me, especially from the port side. And the Lopez deal looks really, REALLY bad for Opie. He already got rid of the pitcher we got back for him, and as you say, Bowker looks like four-A fodder. Not nearly good enough for a veteran LOOGY who was traded to the future World Series champs in the middle of a pennant race. Huntington just can't do much of anything right when it comes to making trades with established big leaguers. He does much better with the draft and with trolling for scraps in the dumpster.
Anyway, it would take a best case scenario for there to be more than one or at most two pitchers currently in the minors to pitch well enough to displace anyone currently in our mediocre-at-best rotation. Obviously Rudy Owens is the fast tracker and he would figure to be here by mid-season. After him, it's a crapshoot. I still hold out hope for B-rad, but it looks like he has exactly one (1) major league pitch, which spells "bullpen" rather than "rotation". Morton is a lost cause and I never, NEVER understood the cult surrounding him. His minor league numbers were never anything special, and his big league statistics are terrible. That leaves guys like Bryan Morris, Jeff Locke, Justin Wilson (who I really like) and perhaps Donnie Veal. Veal, I believe, is a major league pitcher of some sort if he can recover from TJ surgery. But none of these are established and all will be rookies in 2011. Expecting more than one or two of them to legitimately be able to displace a current big league starter---even the mediocre ones the Pirates have---is expecting a lot.

I think we're in agreement, Wil - The effort should be on landing a guy that's at least a dependable #3 guy if not better.
I'm just against then loading up on bottom-enders. Get enough arms for depth and maybe an upside guy or two that you can control.
One of the FO's problems is that they have such a revolving door situation with bringing in guys that I don't think the players get a very good evaluation.
Anyway, you're right about the pen; I think the market swing caught them unawares. Gonna make it tough, although they do have a bunch of out-of-option guys they could store away in left field.

As we said last month, electrical theory underlies everything we do in the electrical construction business. It is therefore necessary to review this theory regularly. We continue now, with Ohm's Law.
From last month's explanation of the three primary electrical forces, we see the relationships that they have to each another. (More voltage, more current; less resistance, more current.) These relationships are calculated by using what is called Ohm's Law.
Ohm's Law states the relationships between voltage, current and resistance. The law states that in a DC circuit, current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. Accordingly, the amount of voltage is equal to the amount of current multiplied by the amount of resistance. Ohm's Law goes on to say that current is equal to voltage divided by resistance and that resistance is equal to voltage divided by current.
In an AC circuit, current equals voltage divided by impedance.
These three formulas are shown in Fig. 1, along with a diagram, which helps in remembering Ohm's law. This Ohm's law circle can be used to obtain all three of these formulas easily. The method is this: Place your finger over the value that you want to find (E for voltage, I for current, or R for resistance), and then the other two will make up the formula. For example, if you place your finger over the E in the circle, the remainder of the circle will show I × R. If you then multiply the current times the resistance, you will get the value for voltage in the circuit. If you wanted to find the value for current, you would put your finger over the I in the circle, and then the remainder of the circle will show E/R. So, to find current we divide voltage by resistance. Lastly, if you place your finger over the R in the circle, the remaining part of the circle shows E/I. These Ohm's law formulas apply to any electrical circuit, no matter how simple or how complex.
If you remember only one electrical formula, make sure it's Ohm's law. This Ohm's law circle makes remembering the formula simple.
By using the example of a water system, we can compare the relationship explained by Ohm's law to a very small pipe or a large pipe. If you have a water pressure on your system of 10 lbs per sq in., for example, you can expect that a large volume of water would flow through a 6-in. diameter pipe. Through a ½-in. pipe, however, a much smaller amount of water would flow. We would say that the ½-in. pipe had a much higher resistance to the flow of water than did the 6-in. pipe. Similarly, a circuit with a resistance of 10 ohms (resistance is measured in ohms) would let twice as much current flow as a circuit which had a resistance of 20 ohms. Likewise, a circuit with 4 ohms would allow only half as much current to flow as a circuit with a resistance of 2 ohms.
The most important and basic laws of circuits are Kirchoff's laws.
Kirchoff's voltage law states that the sum of the voltage rises minus the sum of voltage drops around a series circuit will equal zero. In other words, the sum of all voltages in a series circuit equal zero. This means that the voltage of the source will be equal to the total of voltage drops (which are of opposite polarity) in the circuit. In simple and practical terms, the sum of voltage drops in the circuit will always equal the voltage of the source. In a parallel circuits or parallel branches, the voltages across parallel elements are equal.
Kirchoff's second law, applied to series circuits, is really just common sense — that the sum of currents entering and exiting a node equals zero; that current is the same in all parts of the circuit. It is fairly obvious that if the circuit has only one path, what flows through one part will flow through all parts. In a parallel circuit, the currents split so that the voltages are equal. Where parallel circuits begin and end, the sum of the currents must be zero.
Another important electrical term is watts. Watts are the conversion of electricity into heat, but the watt can also be used as the basic measurement of electrical power; a measurement of the amount of work performed. For instance, 1 hp equals 746W; 1 kW (the measurement the power companies use on our bills) equals 1,000W.
The most commonly used formula for power (or watts) is voltage times current (E × I). For example, if a certain circuit had a voltage of 40V with 4A of current flowing through the circuit, the wattage of that circuit would be 160W (40 × 4). Fig. 2 on page 24R shows the 12 power formulas that can be formed by combining both Ohm's law and Watt's law.
Please note that the paragraph above uses common terms, and is more than adequate for power wiring and associated applications. To be completely correct, E × I is VA (volt amps), not watts.
One of the more difficult concepts in the electrical industry is the difference between real power (also called true power) and apparent power. We will cover this briefly.
Real (or true) power is the actual power used in an electrical circuit. Real power is expressed in watts (W).
Apparent power is the product of voltage and current in a circuit, measured without considering any phase variance between voltage and current in the circuit. It is expressed in volt amps (VA).
Real power is always less than apparent power in reactive circuits. The ratio of real power to apparent power is called the power factor. A perfect power factor (where there was no difference between real and apparent power) would be 1.0, which is called unity. Typical power factors for industrial buildings would be 0.9 or less.
Apparent power is the power that you can measure with a typical voltmeter and ammeter. The technical definition is: The measure of alternating current power that is computed by multiplying RMS (root-mean-square) voltage and RMS current. This is called apparent power, because it is the power that is measured by the most common means — the power that appears to you.
Real power is more complex. In a purely resistive circuit (with no reactance), apparent power is the same as true power. But when voltage and current move out of phase with each other, things get complicated. To measure real power, the waveform must be divided into many segments, and a large number of voltage and current readings must be taken and then averaged. Specialized watt meters and reactive power meters are designed to do this.

Sienna self sabotage
They'd supposedly broken up – Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty – and this was a good thing. By her standards she was keeping a relatively low profile, staying out of trouble, and not stumbling out of clubs with married men.
Sienna also looks great in the trailers from G.I. Joe. Not bad as a badass. But just months before the release of the film, and a short couple of weeks before the press tour, the studio must be sh-tting itself. Because Sienna is on vacation. With Balthy. Balthy has been spending time lately with his children and the paps…
Perhaps this is the reason. To cushion this blow. Obviously Sienna and Balthy are still together. And Balthy is still technically married to Rosetta who, at last check, was refusing to divorce him.
Not exactly a great combination. Not exactly a publicist's dream. Because they have to manage Sienna for press. Which means that the press will be more interested in her romantic entanglements than in the movie. She has no sense.

Your Control Arms for Cheap
Being low on cash sucks. But you can still work on your car even with a tight budget. It just takes a little more time, skill, and ingenuity. While some people can just open a catalog and place an order for cool suspension parts, the truth is that most of us cannot. Here's a secret, though: The factory parts are pretty good, and there are inexpensive ways to make them even better.
We are playing with the control arms from our '86 Caprice, but you can strengthen any suspension parts without spending a lot of money. That includes boxing rear control arms, frames, crossmembers, or whatever. We used less than $20 in materials and tools that most people would have access to either in their own homes or through friends or networking. Keep in mind that you don't need to use a $2,200 Miller TIG welder like we did. An inexpensive 110V MIG would have accomplished the same thing.
There are several companies that make tubular arms for our donk (Chevy Caprice) that are both stronger and engineered to make the car handle better, but we decided to work with what we had and save some money in the process. We had the control arms off the car to replace the bushings (which was covered in November's issue of our ugly stepsister publication Chevy High Performance) and were a little surprised by just how much the arms flexed as the new bushings were being pressed in. We decided to reinforce the wide area between the spring bucket and the bushing mounts and therefore improve handling. So we made a crude-looking template out of cardboard that fit the spaces we were targeting.>
It can be tricky welding two pieces of metal together that are of differing thicknesses because the heat setting for the thicker piece can cause you to burn through the thinner piece. In experimenting with the heat settings on our welder, we decided that 100 amps worked best. We aimed the torch more at the control arm, since it was the thicker piece, and started a weld puddle. Then we slowly added the filler rod and moved along the seam. In places where the fit between the two pieces wasn't very tight, we had to bridge the gap with a couple of extra passes of filler rod. A hundred amps sounds like a lot of heat, but remember that you control the TIG welder with a foot pedal. Like the throttle on your car, it varies the power output. You'll often need more heat to start the weld. But once the puddle forms, you can usually back off the pedal and still continue to weld using only as much amperage as is needed. We're using ER70S-6 filler rod, a good general-use filler material for welding mild steel.>
OK, these welds aren't that great-looking, but we're still getting the hang of TIG welding. After the control arms cooled off, we sprayed them with a few coats of Eastwood's satin black wheel paint. It dries quickly and offers good protection against chipping.

If you spend any time at all in a competitive endeavor, you'll quickly realize that skill at any given contest does not necessarily carry over to another. The list of professional ballplayers (football, baseball, whatever) who were good on the field, and then good as a coach, is small. The list of professional sports figures who go on to open successful businesses is small, indeed.
Skill in any endeavor is a rare thing. We should expect, therefore, that skill in two would be rarer still. Which is one of the things that makes Bill Wilson rare. Were I given to the usual sloppy hyperbole that modern writing schools seem to encourage so much, I'd call him unique. He isn't. As good as he is, he isn't the only one to be successful as a businessman in the field in which he saw such fame as a competitor. And make no mistake, he was a heavyweight back in the early days of IPSC, and he's a heavyweight now in the field of custom guns.
Starting with 1911s, Bill has expanded to the modern triumvirate of defensive artillery: the 1911, the 870, and the AR. Wilson ARs are built on 7075-T6 forgings, precision machined (and in this day and age that means CNC multi-axis machines) and hard-coat anodized. The receivers are then given a Wilson Armor-Tuff baked-on epoxy finish, in your choice of green, black, tan, gray or stainless, depending on the model. They all have Wilson match-grade barrels, 16, 18 or 20 inches, depending on what model you choose. The smallbores have 5.56 chambers for reliable chambering and to avoid the problems that .223 chambers can bring when fed a diet of 5.56-spec ammo.
As with his 1911s, you can get a standard, Wilson-spec rifle: just pick the catalog number, phone or email your order, and your FFL will be receiving it in short order. Or you can custom-build the AR of your heart's desire by starting with a Wilson model and substituting items such as flash hiders (Vortex, A2 or Wilson Tactical Muzzle brake?), stocks (Magpul or M4?), folding sights (Wilson makes a handful, front and rear), and your choice of railed handguard – and do you want low-profile rail ladders, or full-profile rail covers?
Scope mounts, optics, pistol grips, charging handles, bolt releases, foregrips, all can be spec'd and either left as-is or Armor-Tuff® coated to match.
But you knew all that, right? I mean, you're an AR fan who stays in the know, so none of that is news to you. Well, guess again; Wilson is now making rifles in 6.8.
Developed to provide a significant increase in terminal effectiveness without making recoil onerous, the 6.8 Remington SPC is a big step up. If you want a rifle chambered in a cartridge a lot more suited to hunting (and it will pass muster even in States where the DNR does not allow .223/5.56 for deer hunting) while being the modern, reliable, and accurate rifle of the 21st century, the 6.8 is a good choice. The Wilson 6.8 project simply takes the already-excellent Wilson AR and replaces the 5.56 parts with 6.8.
