SAN FRANCISCO – Mexico eliminated retaliatory tariffs on 99 U.S. products, including a 20 percent tariff on U.S. wines, following U.S. approval of a Mexican trucking company's permit to cross into the U.S.
U.S. wine exports to Mexico had been subject to the retaliatory tariff resulting from a U.S./Mexico trade dispute regarding the safety of Mexican trucks in the U.S. In 2009, Mexico imposed the 20 percent tariff when the U.S. cancelled the permit program for Mexican trucks.
The 20 percent tariff was the second retaliation imposed by Mexico on U.S. wine imports in seven years. The first concerned a World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute over the Byrd Steel Dumping Amendment, which the U.S. repealed in 2007.
"With two trade setbacks in the last several years, many wineries shifted their promotional resources to more predictable high-growth markets. However, with the tariff elimination and since our countries have been strong trading partners and share a common border, we hope to significantly expand California wine exports to Mexico," said Wine Institute International Marketing Director Linsey Gallagher.
U.S. wine exports to Mexico, 90 percent from California, reached a high in 2007 with $23.8 million in revenues to wineries. Wine exports were $18.4 million in 2010, making it the 11th largest export market for California wine. Exports dropped 26 percent in value eight months ending August 2011, however, exports are expected to increase because a settlement of the trucking dispute was reached last March and half of the 20 percent tariff was removed in July. The entire tariff is now eliminated.

Lamentations of Jeremiah: Beware of Bondage
6 October 2013
The most universal subjugation in our day, as it has been throughout history, is ideology or political beliefs that are inconsistent with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Substituting the philosophies of men for gospel truth can lead us away from the simplicity of the Savior's message.

No Other Gods
6 October 2013
Our twelfth article of faith states our belief in being subject to civil authority and in "obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law." But man's laws cannot make moral what God has declared immoral. Commitment to our highest priority—to love and serve God—requires that we look to His law for our standard of behavior. For example, we remain under divine command not to commit adultery or fornication even when those acts are no longer crimes under the laws of the states or countries where we reside. Similarly, laws legalizing so-called "same-gender marriage" do not change God's law of marriage or His commandments and our standards concerning it. We remain under covenant to love God and keep His commandments and to refrain from serving other gods and priorities—even those becoming popular in our particular time and place.

Power in the Priesthood
6 October 2013
We sometimes overly associate the power of the priesthood with men in the Church. The priesthood is the power and authority of God given for the salvation and blessing of all—men, women, and children. A man may open the drapes so the warm sunlight comes into the room, but the man does not own the sun or the light or the warmth it brings. The blessings of the priesthood are infinitely greater than the one who is asked to administer the gift. To receive the blessings, power, and promises of the priesthood in this life and the next is one of the great opportunities and responsibilities of mortality.

"I Will Not Fail Thee, Nor Forsake Thee"
6 October 2013
Our Heavenly Father, who gives us so much to delight in, also knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass. We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in the way our Heavenly Father teaches us, and to become something different from what we were—better than what we were, more understanding than what we were, more empathetic than what we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before. This should be our purpose—to persevere and endure, yes, but also to become more spiritually refined as we make our way through sunshine and sorrow.

My graduation thesis was about stability theorems for $C_0$-semigroups (see the Wikipedia article for the definitions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0-semigroup). I would like to know if there is some aplicability of the stability theorems I know in this field. The only applications I found for my thesis were about the Hille-Yosida theorem and some of its applications to existence and uniqueness of solutions of partial differential equations.
I will not put any names to my theorems, since maybe they are not known to the world as my teachers name them. Here are some of them:
The $C_0$-semigroup $\{T(t)\}_{t \geq 0}$ is exponentially stable if and only if there exists $p \geq 1$ such that $\int_0^\infty \|T(t)\|^pdt <\infty$.
The $C_0$-semigroup $\{T(t)\}_{t \geq 0}$ is exponentially stable if and only if it satisfies the following condition: For any $f \in \mathcal{C}$ it follows that $x_f \in \mathcal{C}$ where $x_f: \Bbb{R}_+ \to X,\ x_f(t)=\int_0^t T(t-s)f(s)ds$, and $\mathcal{C} = \{ f : \Bbb{R}_+ \to X,\ f \text{ continuous and bounded } \}$.
The last theorem can be formulated and proved in some cases for $(L^p,L^q)$ spaces with $(p,q) \neq (1,\infty)$. A more general concept, dichotomy can be formulated (the space splits into two spaces, on one of them there is stability, and on the other one there is instability.
All these sound very nice, and have quite beautiful proofs, but are they applicable to some branches of applied math, such as ordinary or partial differential equations, or they are just pure math, and thats it?

Today the Commerce Department hosted a public symposium on the protection of consumers' and the commercial sector's information from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Secretary Locke provided opening remarks at the event, held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., followed by remarks from U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski.
The meeting is part of a broader effort to use the Internet to foster innovation and economic growth. The symposium was organized by the Commerce Department's Internet Policy Task Force and featured senior government and private-sector leaders in a wide-ranging discussion of issues, best practices, and strategies for responding to cyber threats.
Other administration and Congressional officials who addressed the symposium included U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra, and Commerce Department General Counsel Cameron Kerry. Panel discussions featured senior officials from the White House, the Department of Homeland Security, the Commerce Department and private-sector executives. Remarks | Read more

I'm not saying this is absolutely wrong, but I need a better reason to believe it. Why is random decimation the thing most in the spirit of Burning Man? I get that we don't want to judge, wanted to be radically inclusive, so I understand why some of the other methods might be against that spirit. But I don't think being picked at random is in line with the spirit. The best I could argue is that it is less out of line than some of the others.domitron wrote:
If you want to limit attendance, doing it randomly is probably closest in line with the spirit of Burning Man because it doesn't target any particular group, but that hasn't worked so well either because it is going to end up keeping the large contributors at home this year.
The lottery approach has the following result: The playa is populated by a mix of the randomly chosen and the wealthy, and the extra value is captured either by the lucky or by deliberate speculators, instead of being captured by the community. And while the Borg is not the community, if they do their job with the right spirit, if they capture the value then some of it trickles down into the community, in that they have more to spend on playa services or can make tickets cheaper for others.
No matter what you do in a sold-out event with transferable tickets, wealth is going to be the biggest factor in determining who gets the scarce tickets. You can't stop that. The most you can do is control who it is that receives the surplus price that the wealthy are willing to pay. It's either going to be the lottery winning burners, the speculators (who won or who buy tickets from suckers who sell them at face value to speculators) or the org.
Which is most in the spirit of the event?

KALAMAZOO—Western Michigan University's celebrated School of Music will hit its 100th anniversary this year as the first university in Michigan to be named an All-Steinway Music School.
With 118 of the world-renowned pianos gracing the stages, classrooms and practice studios of the school, University officials are already seeing the $2 million investment by private donors have an impact, as applicants to its highly selective music programs respond positively to the quality commitment the Steinway designation demonstrates.
"Prospective students note the School of Music's Steinway piano inventory, and the new instruments make quite an impression, especially on those visiting the school for the first time," says Dr. David J. Colson, director of the School of Music. "The new pianos have become a point of pride for many of our current students. They are especially appreciative to have instruments on which to practice and perform that inspire their growth as musicians."
WMU joins just over 150 top international music schools to have earned the All-Steinway designation, which requires that 90 percent of the school's pianos be designed by Steinway & Sons. The world's All-Steinway Schools include Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, Yale School of Music, the Curtis Institute, the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, the Cleveland Institute of Music, James Madison University, and Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music, School of Piano. WMU is the first university in Michigan to earn the designation.
As an All-Steinway school, WMU is entitled to use the Steinway logo on its website and in recruitment materials and can use Steinway Hall in New York City for an annual event for alumni.
Culmination of fundraising efforts
Fundraising to be an All-Steinway program began five years ago, according to Dr. Margaret Merrion, dean of WMU's College of Fine Arts, and the first pianos acquired through the campaign arrived in late 2008. The timeline for completion was driven by the School of Music's 100th anniversary celebration, which is now in progress and will culminate with a series of special fall concerts, including an Oct. 13 piano concert that will honor the All-Steinway designation. That event is expected to include a formal presentation by representatives of Steinway & Sons.
"Our mission is to give our students a first-rate education, and that requires first-class instruments, high-quality learning opportunities and outstanding faculty-artists," says Merrion. "The All-Steinway program was a major objective in our strategic map for distinction."
The funding to achieve the designation came from a variety of donors, Merrion says, but two local foundations—the Dorothy U. Dalton Foundation and the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation—were among early significant donors and provided impetus for the fundraising campaign.
About Steinway & Sons
Steinway & Sons, which celebrated its 160th anniversary earlier this month, was founded in New York City by German immigrant Heinrich Engelhard Steinway (later Anglicized to Henry E. Steinway) in 1853. Steinway & Sons developed the modern piano with revolutionary designs and created 127 patented inventions to perfect the piano-making process. By the turn of the century, the company was crafting thousands of pianos in its Astoria, New York and Hamburg, Germany factories. Today, Steinway & Sons crafts approximately 2,500 pianos a year and is the choice of 97 percent of piano soloists performing at major venues worldwide.
About the WMU School of Music
Music has been an important element of a WMU education since shortly after the University's founding in 1903. In 1913, music became the first discipline to be organized into its own department at WMU. Today, some 400 students annually audition for just 90 openings in the highly competitive school, which is known internationally and boasts faculty and student ensembles that tour and perform at the world's top venues.

Mohler, Draper: TNIV controversy makes HCSB translation even more important
ST LOUIS (BP)--The controversy over one Bible translation has helped R. Albert Mohler Jr. shape his opinion about another.
Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, addressed the issue of Bible translation June 10 during a breakfast sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources for pastors attending the Southern Baptist Convention. LifeWay's trade publishing division, Broadman & Holman, is publishing a new translation, the Holman Christian Standard Bible.
"When I first heard about the Holman Christian Standard Bible, I was not excited about it," Mohler said. "I think in many ways there are too many translations, and having one more translation is not necessarily a great thing. [However,] the changes in the last several months have convinced me that in the end this is an important thing for Southern Baptists to do -- if for no other reason than that we will have a major translation we can control."
Mohler was referencing the controversy over the Today's New International Version published by Zondervan. It is billed as a "gender-accurate" translation of the Bible, although some 100 evangelical leaders, including Mohler, have voiced their opposition to its publication, saying its attempt at "gender-accuracy" has led to mistranslation of various biblical texts. The New Testament version of the TNIV has already been released, with the complete version scheduled for 2005.
Likewise, the Holman Christian Standard New Testament is already available, and the complete HCSB is scheduled for release in 2004.
There is no guarantee, Mohler said, that other well-respected translations will avoid substantial changes in the future.
"[Owning the rights to the HCSB] may be extremely meaningful in the future -- even more so than now," Mohler said.
LifeWay President James T. Draper Jr. agreed with Mohler, saying that because of the TNIV controversy the HCSB translation is "more important than we thought it was. These are very critical issues."
Mohler said that the HCSB is one of three Bible translations that he will recommend for use in serious study. The other two are the New American Standard Bible and the English Standard Version.
"I'm not saying this because I'm at a LifeWay-sponsored event," Mohler said. "It's a translation I would commend, and there aren't very many I would commend."
Mohler said the arguments over Bible translations are anything but trivial.
"If we love the Scripture, then the issue of scriptural translations is one that [should be] of our stewardship and priority," he said.
Translators, Mohler said, are wrong when they argue that a Bible translation must use "street language."
"We are being told that if we are going to translate the Bible into the vernacular, it has to be what we would call street language," he said. "But is that the way Scripture should be translated?"
The answer, he said, should be no. He pointed to the type of Greek in which the New Testament was written as an example.
"It was the common form of the day but it was not the lowest common denominator of the day," he said. "... It was not the street language."
Mohler said a Bible should aim for a translation using "the language as it currently exists -- not at its lowest level and not at a level of abstract specialization. Instead, [it should be] a level of the language that is formal and yet is understandable by anyone who is literate."
Mohler discussed the two translation bodies of thought. One is "formal equivalence" -- sometimes referred to as a "literal" or "word for word" translation. The other is called "dynamic," which is occasionally referred to as a "paraphrase." Dynamic translations tend simply to maintain the concept of the verse, while not necessarily rendering an exact translation of the original text.
Because every word of Scripture is inspired, translators should aim for a formal equivalent translation, Mohler said.
"If we believe in a verbal doctrine of inspiration, then how can we believe in anything less than a verbal concept of translation?" he asked. "If we really believe in verbal plenary inspiration, then the words are important."
But Mohler said even the best literal translations must paraphrase certain isolated texts.
"There are some texts that simply require a reshuffling of the entire issue in order to make it plain in any modern translation," he said. "The question is whether those difficulties drive the entirety or whether you start with a formal equivalence aim and then use dynamic equivalence models where absolutely necessary."
Translators, Mohler said, face many temptations, including the temptation to use gender-inclusive language.
"There are many persons who are uttering feminist-originated arguments who do not consider themselves feminist, but they have bought into the worldview that if women are not named specifically then they are not included," he said. "If you buy into that, then we have to update all of our hymns, we have to change our historic language, we have to rewrite most of English literature. We have to reform our law."
But Mohler said there are other pressures -- including pressures from those pushing political correctness. He noted that the TNIV has changed "Jews" to "Jewish leaders" in several New Testament passages.
The language is being contorted so fast, he added, that in five to 10 years some will be arguing for the removal of words such as "marriage" and "family" from the Bible. Mohler said those in the politically correct camp will be arguing that "You simply can't say 'marriage,' you simply can't say 'family' and expect people to know what you're talking about."
Thomas Schreiner, Southern Seminary professor of New Testament interpretation, said there are a handful of instances when it "it's proper to use inclusive language." He pointed to Galatians 6:1, where the HCSB reads "Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so you won't be tempted also." While the NIV also uses the word "someone," the King James Version instead uses "a man."
But Schreiner said the TNIV's changes often go too far, resulting in a change in theological meaning.
"Shouldn't the translation simply reflect what the text says?" he asked. "Then we can interpret the text."

Why We Were Created?
Local Dollars for Local Scholars
In a complex world, a quality education is vital to success. But higher education is expensive causing many talented and deserving students in Stamford graduating from high school only to find the door to higher education closed. Rising costs, dwindling financial aid and fewer scholarships conspire to derail their aspirations.
In 2011, for the first time ever in the U.S., college debt exceeded credit card debt. Scholarships are more important than ever. Each of the surrounding Connecticut towns to Stamford has a community-wide scholarship foundation - and now Stamford does too. Stamford Dollars for Scholars is the only organization in Stamford that is devoted solely to scholarships. With scholarships as our singular focus, we continue to become a magnet for not only students interested in acquiring information on scholarships and how to afford post-secondary education, but also for donors, sponsors and others interested in supporting scholarships within the local community.
Stamford Dollars for Scholars was established to fill a void in our community by providing scholarship assistance to high school graduates who live or attend high school in Stamford, and who want to pursue education beyond high school. We share a passionate belief that education changes the lives of individuals and communities for the better.
We were conceived around a simple idea: together we can step in and help local students achieve their educational goals. There's no greater gift we can give our student neighbors-in-need than access to the tools to create a brighter future. Doing so tells them that we take pride in their determination and share their dreams.
Our Mission
Stamford Dollars for Scholars® has a singular mission: to mobilize our community to support local students who might otherwise miss the chance to pursue their education beyond high school. We raise awareness by speaking at local organizations and parent/student groups, exhibiting at college fairs and informing the media. We raise funds and award scholarships that enable local students to pursue their educational dreams.
Our Connection to Scholarship America®
Stamford Dollars for Scholars is one of over 500 Dollars for Scholars affiliatesthroughout America. The first Dollars for Scholars chapter was formed in Fall River, MA in 1958. Dollars for Scholars is part of Scholarship America, a national organization which has distributed more than $2.9 billion in scholarship assistance to more than 1.9 million students, funding both entry-level and multi-year scholarships and emergency financial grants.
Scholarship America has received an A+ rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy's Charity Watch and has received a Four-Star rating every year since 2001 from Charity Navigator. The benefits of their support are considerable and include partnerships with colleges and universities that benefit scholarship recipients. A strong national supporter, Katie Couric aired a segment honoring Scholarship America's founder, Dr. Irving Fradkin, on her show. She also donated the net proceeds of her book, The Best Advice I Ever Got, to Scholarship America which funded the Dream Award to provide scholarships to students. More information is available at www.scholarshipamerica.org.
A Great Start
We're thrilled that SD4S was able to offer scholarships even before our first year anniversary, and offer additional scholarships during our second year in Stamford- that is quicker than any other Dollars for Scholars chapter in history. This fast start demonstrates that the Stamford community understands the vital role that education serves in the lives of young people, and is willing to help them through scholarships. This is also a testament to the dedication and vision of our officers and volunteers and the generosity of the sponsors and donors who have supported our efforts to date.

About the Kalimba / Nyunga nyunga
Kalimba instruments are thumb pianos classified as African lamellophones. The 15-key kalimba that we are making at Juma Instruments originates from African tribes living in the countries Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Kalimba is only one of the names used for this instrument, Nyunga nyunga, Nyonga nyonga and Karimba are several language varieties that refer to this 15-key African instrument. Karimba translates to "little wooden xylophone" and Nyunga nyunga translates to "something little that causes fun trouble". The 15-key kalimba is usually tuned in a major key, but you can also get minor and custom variations. For players wanting more keys to play we have the 19-key kalimba.

Differences can be found in variations of tuning, layout and playing style of the mbira. The traditional name for the 22-key mbira that we are making at Juma Instruments is mbira dza Vadzimu. This type of mbira originates from the Zezuru tribe and mbira dza Vadzimu means 'Voice of the ancestors'.

- Premier League
Van Ginkel targets Chelsea impact
Chelsea new-boy Marco van Ginkel has vowed to prove himself in Jose Mourinho's first team after sealing his move from Vitesse Arnhem.
Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has questioned whether Van Ginkel will play regularly for the Blues, and there has been an expectation that he will be eased into Premier League life gradually.
However, he is said to have sought assurances from Blues boss Jose Mourinho over his prospects of regular football prior to making the move, and the 20-year-old does not seem ready to settle for a place as a back-up performer in his debut campaign.
"I want to play games and not only sit on the bench - that's what I hope for," he told Chelsea's official website. "I want to play in games at these great stadiums and hopefully be important for the team, whether it is from the bench or from the start.
"I spoke with the manager and he had some good words for me. If a trainer like this says these things to you it makes you really proud and I am happy to work with him. I'm very happy to be here at such a nice club with great players. I am really happy. The stadium is good and the training ground is fantastic.
"I know about all the players and will meet them on Monday."
Van Ginkel admitted he will be "a little bit nervous" when he meets up with Chelsea's star names at the club's Cobham training base for the first time, yet he has his sights set on making a big impression in the Premier League and forcing his way into Louis van Gaal's Netherlands squad for next summer's World Cup finals.
"Everybody wants to go to Brazil," he added. "You have to play - that's what Louis van Gaal has said to players. I think I can play games and I think the Premier League is higher than the Dutch league, so you can learn more physically and technically, and develop. That's why I am here."

Debora Bell would be glad "if 3-D went away."
The Rockville printer is just the kind of filmgoer Hollywood wants to keep happy. Her family goes to movies every week. They get to the first screenings they can, usually at the 3-D-equipped AMC Columbia or Cinemark in Arundel Mills.
But they may travel from their home in Columbia to North Baltimore's Senator for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," because the Senator is showing it "flat" — and they don't want to see it in 3-D.
In the past six weeks, they've gone to "Thor," "X-Men: First Class," and "Green Lantern" in 3-D and in 2-D. "We preferred all of them in regular," she said.
And Hollywood fears that more filmgoers are agreeing with her.
Brandon Gray, founder-editor of boxofficemojo.com, has been tracking a sudden decrease in 3-D business this season. He calls it "alarming."
"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" — entries in wildly successful franchises — and "Green Lantern" — the start of a new superhero series — didn't draw 3-D audiences to theaters in anywhere near hoped-for numbers.
Screens with 3D provided 85 percent of the gross for "Avatar." The pirates and panda sequels and "Green Lantern" — even in their own opening weekends — delivered percentages in the 40s.
Gray thought 3-D was a fad from the get-go. He said, "It's always been about things coming out of the screen at you," and any talk of its capacity to "add depth to the scene" is "pretentious, because everything else about 3-D is so distracting. We need to drop the pretensions and be more realistic about its appeal, which is more of a theme-park variety."
But some great entertainer-directors have thrown their clout behind 3-D, including Steven Spielberg with "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Universe" and Peter Jackson with "The Hobbit." Even Martin Scorsese has come on-board with "Hugo Cabret."
Veteran filmmakers like Martha Coolidge think 3-D's ultimate powers have yet to be tapped.
"It could help bring back the adventure/romance/spectacle," Coolidge said. "Woody Allen, who like everyone is struggling with budgets these days, just did 'Midnight in Paris,' which is funny, romantic and takes you back to two major glorious periods of history. … But it would have been spectacular in 3-D, and maybe even more believable and emotional."
Despite skyrocketing ticket prices and a slew of lackluster releases, the 3-D imprimatur still woos fans who swear by the format's ability to immerse them in a visual environment.
And ESPN intends to keep promoting 3-D TV heavily. Bryan Burns, the company's vice president for strategic planning, said "Seven or eight years ago, when high-definition TV hit the speed lane, I thought sports on TV couldn't get any better. I was wrong."
But critics and enthusiasts agree that 3-D is at a crossroads.
Gray said that we'll soon discover whether the 3-D audience has reached a plateau, or "the format is being purely and simply rejected."
He also said that there's a third option.
If "Cars 2," which opened Friday, and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," which opens Wednesday, perform spectacularly well in 3-D, it might indicate that people are "reserving their 3-D dollars for big events."
No one's predicting that 3-D will fade from the scene any time soon. For many filmgoers it's still a novelty.
Devotees of 3-D often point to "Clash of the Titans" — one of many 2-D films converted to 3-D artificially, after filming — as a rip-off. But for Kim Yates of Owings Mills, who doesn't see many 3-D movies, "it was awesome. It reminded me of the 3-D movies I saw as a kid, and how much fun I had putting on the glasses. The color, the clarity, were spectacular."
Yates said she's ready to pay extra money for 3-D movies — which these days means shelling out three to five more bucks.
So are the fans thronging for 3-D at Ira Miller's Rotunda Cinemas in North Baltimore. Since Miller started operating a 3-D screen on May 4, he's played "Thor," "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Green Lantern" — and each has been a success for him.
Miller, whose experience includes a 15-year stint as vice president of marketing, operations and exhibitor relations for MGM, thinks that "the 3-D really helped."
Gray viewed "Green Lantern" as a major 3-D disappointment. Miller asked, "If 'Green Lantern' were not in 3-D, who knows if it would have done $53 million? I think the 3-D added 20 million to that opening weekend."
Gray said that 3-D was an innovation no-one in the audience was begging for — that the big Hollywood studios have foisted it on the public to distract them from the slipshod storytelling and hackneyed formulae of contemporary moviemaking.
But even people who agree with Gray's assessment of the studios acknowledge that gimmicks can take on lives of their own.
Dea Gill, a frequent moviegoer from Arnold, outside Annapolis, said that when she saw "Avatar" in 3-D, it exploded her sense of the possibilities of movies. She felt that the 3-D process "really changed the experience in the theater, because it was like the action was right there, jumping off the screen, right in your face."
Miller installed 3-D at the Rotunda because customers who felt like Gill wouldn't stop asking him, "When are you going to get 3-D?" He figured that he'd start losing business if he didn't get it — and now, instead of holding his own, he's expanding his audience.
The Rotunda's 3-D screen has given all its cinemas a bump up. They did better business on Memorial Day weekend this year than they did in the previous two Memorial Days combined. Though he added a small third theater last fall, Miller gives 3-D top credit for the uptick.
To Adam Birnbaum, who books the Charles and the Senator, there's no question that "for exhibitors running commercial films, it's an absolute necessity to have 3-D and digital at your disposal." He admits that the Senator "is being affected negatively" by the theater's current lack of it.
But he also says that audiences are "pushing back" against the studios' insistence on ramming 3-D down their throats — or into their eye sockets — as the only way to see movies that make selling-points of sweep and scope.
Birnbaum hopes that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" will prove the executives wrong.
"People have grown up seeing the Potter films in a standard, flat 2-D format" Birnbaum said — and not just at the Senator, where watching new entries in J.K. Rowling's saga has been a decade-long tradition for many Baltimore families.
"I've talked to a couple of theater owners who say that rabid fans have been asking them whether it will be released in 2-D," Birnbaum said. "When movies are trumpeted as 3-D spectacles, people feel they have to see them in that format. But 'Potter' may be different."
So far, audiences have yet to embrace 3-D the way they did other technological breakthroughs, such as color, widescreen and stereo.
Former CEO of 3ality Digital, Sandy Climan, said 18 months ago that audiences would acquire the right comfort level for 3D only if it became "part of the entertainment ecosphere on a recurring basis. It has to come through your TV or computer screen."
That hasn't happened, even after the typhoon of promotions for ESPN's broadcast of the World Cup.
In 2010, Kelly Gould, director of broadcast services at GKV, a Baltimore communications firm, thought the World Cup created "a new awareness of 3-D." But she frankly said last week, "I have no interest in 3-D TV. I'd rather watch well-written, well-produced shows than shows that rely on 3-D or trickery."
"It's a long way from becoming the next big thing for the mainstream TV viewing experience," said Adam Thomas of Informa, a London-based industry-analysis service. Thomas and his colleagues "expect that [only] 44 percent of American homes with a 3-D set will be actively using 3-D by the end of 2016… .3-D is not the obvious next evolutionary step for TV, in the same way that color followed black and white and high definition (HD) is following standard definition (SD)."
But ESPN's Burns says 3-D TV is only now acquiring critical mass. "From a consumer standpoint it has to be easy for you to walk into your retailer, buy a set, take it home, call your multichannel service provider, and get our 3-D service. And those elements are coming together faster in this calendar year than they did at this stage in the history of HD."
Burns says that you can now buy a 40-inch 3-D TV "for under $700 with free shipping." That's still a big investment to make in uncertain economic times.
So far, the added cost of 3-D has worked against its general acceptance both at home and in theaters. "Avatar's" ability to pull off a record-breaking run despite the financial meltdown persuaded studios that they'd found a gimmick that was recession-proof.
A year and half later, audiences have reached their breaking-point on ticket price.
"The industry should look at lowering prices, not just for 3-D, but for regular movies," Gray said. "They think they can charge more for 3-D as a 'premium' experience, when it's not. Just throwing on sunglasses in the dark doesn't make it a premium experience."
Debora Bell would be glad "if 3-D went away."

Being something of a Frenchie wannabe, I tend to don my rose-tinted lunettes when I consider the classic bistro. I mean that quite literally. As I type this with one hand, I'm packing with the other for a surprise romantic getaway—destination unknown to me–orchestrated by my dear E. Atop my passport sit my trendy, rosy new shades from Anthro, and through their lenses I can't help but imagine a single scenario over and over and over again. Me, my shades, and E sitting at a bistro in Paris. Sipping. Conversing. Laughing. Lingering. Smooching.
Bistros are the stuff of reveries. Iconic, legendary establishments, they exude a certain charm, cast a spell of sorts. I'm not alone in thinking this. But I also think perhaps the rosiness and romance envelope the moment not just because I regard the decor and the wine, the passersby, even, perhaps, a slightly disappointing steak a little less critically than usual. Perhaps a large part of my mooniness draws from the fact that I see myself, too, in a less mundane manner. Each time I catch observe myself in a moment of fanciful thinking, I see a happier, classier, sassier version of me sitting at that table. France tends to have that effect on people. I've spent my share of time there. I know. And I return every so often for just that. It's essential.
I'd never considered the whys behind this bistro effect, but rather just sort of accepted it as fact. Until I flipped through French Bistro, in which Bertrand Auboyneau, owner of the renowned Paul Bert in Paris and founder of the bistronomy movement, shares his insights into the essential components of a proper bistro. You'll find a soupçon of his thoughts and philosophy below. But fear not, fellow right-brainers. Deconstructing the essential bistro as he does won't tarnish the rose tint. If anything, it makes it even rosier.–Renee Schettler Rossi
The bistro is one of the last remaining venues of live theater in our cities. Clients take their positions without prompting, talk to strangers at the bar, ask their neighbors to pass the salt, scrounge a smoke outside, and maybe even leave with a phone number. The bistro is the setting against which minor dramas and romances are played out. It is a social sanctuary, somewhere to reflect, watch passersby, shrug at calories, and mop up the sauce on our plates with good bread. Let the outside world march on in suits, slaves to their watches. This calm revolt, this rebellion that runs on salted butter, continues to be a success because of its genuine respect for both its food and diners. You will feel it as you enter and taste it in the crunch of the bread.
What defines a bistro? A counter, an owner, and a chef? Limiting the definition to this trio would be too simplistic to describe an entire universe. A bistro comprises much more.
What would a bistro be without its bar? The combined weight of its lead, zinc, and heavy wood anchor it solidly to the floor. It seems to have been there long enough to have grown roots, drawing strength and serenity from its grounded solidity. The bar is subjected to thumps, knocks, and wipes. It is impervious to parting words, endless chatter, bygones being bygones, and slates being wiped clean. It listens with a kindly ear to human suffering and passing fortune. The bar is a benevolent entity, a latter-day confessional. When the time comes and you are ready, you can leave the safety of the bar for the comfort of your table.
Here's another French paradox. If the food is good, the décor seems spectacular. If the food is disappointing, the décor is filed away as iffy and the service spotty. The bench covered in worn leatherette will seem redolent of the romance of past eras rather than simply shabby. Bistro décor is like traveling back in time to a golden age. There will be exposed brick walls, vintage posters, enamel signage, old tiling, molded ceilings, worn wooden tables, and ancient chairs. They all transmit the same timeless message, like a quaint dialect, somewhat out of date, that reassures us and sets our bellies rumbling.
The bistro chair is nifty and nimble, punctuating the dining space. It takes just a flick of the wrist to spin it. It is multipurpose: it can be straddled and stacked,; it can be sent flying; and it can even crack skulls. The original bistro chair was designed in 1859 in Michael Thonet's workshop. This ingenious inventor devised a process for bending solid wood into curved shape, and it was the Thonet prototype number 14 that shot to success. The whole world then made knock-offs of his deign, producing chairs that would support the world' most illustrious posteriors.
The strength of bistro cooking owes much to its flexibility. The chalkboard menu attests to its adaptability. Far more than a rustic decorative feature, the chalkboard reflects the economic preoccupations of a cuisine based on market availability and fluctuating commodity prices. Should a certain fish suddenly become plentiful, the chef and the owner will immediately modify the day's menu. If a dish's ingredients are exhausted, it's erased immediately. The bistro is lucky enough to be able to seize opportunities as they arise, though it must be faithful to its fundamental principles. You go because you're sure to find your usual steak with mustard, sole meuniere, or favorite dried sausage. The affability is tangible in the down-to-earth dishes, the ones that everyone likes. Upscale restaurants have taken to revisiting bistro recipes, gussying up old standbys. That's fine. Bistro cooking can take the competition.
France has a dazzling array of bad characters. Just stand at the bar of any bistro. You're bound to spot one or more clients, unpredictable beings, looking downhearted, sullen, morose, or annoyed. Some of them manage to display the whole range of gloomy emotions from bleakness to wretchedness. Those who enter laughing and jolly are few and far between, and their demeanor raises the suspicion that they have been enjoying their predinner drinks. The success of an evening at a bistro can often hinge on a single client. Just one cantankerous person who loses his or her patience or explodes can quickly ruin the ambience. And this is why bistro owners are so attentive to the diners, keeping them under constant, close surveillance. French clients are unique creatures, and it is in this spirit that they must be welcomed.
The ambience of a bistro is original and inimitable. Myriad conversations, the clinking of cutlery, waiters overacting their roles, barked-out orders, spoons tinkling against coffee cups, a cork popping out of a bottle all come together in a life-affirming babble. A general state of well-being resonates.

What starts off looking like a dick move on the highway turns out to be one of the nicest things I've ever seen from any truck driver.
In this dash cam video, we see a truck driver slowly but surely easing into the lane of another driver through the middle of a turn. The car slows down and it all looks like any ordinary instance of bad driving. As the car rounds the corner, it finally sees that there was a crash up ahead — something the truck driver could see that the car driver could not.
The trucker helped slow the car down, preventing it from smashing into the crashed car up ahead on the side of the road.

Killers In The Mist
Yesterday I learned that the Nicholas Gordon whose life Major Mkoma saved so long ago has made a dash out to Zambia hoping to see President Levy Mwanawasa and ask in the name of compassion that Mkoma be allowed release now and not wait for October, a month he may never reach.
[Column: Astles' Global View] Many years ago, I wrote to renowned preservationist Dian Fossey about a job for a staff member of mine who had many years experience in
He was later murdered in
I could not agree with her on her strong opposition to zoos, which made her aggressive to those involved in trapping for the world's coming animal parks, because I believed they were giving animals their last chance of survival in this overcrowded mad world.
An often mentioned example of this attitude was in 1978, when she attempted to prevent the export of two gorillas, Coco and Pucker, from
It meant little to the outside world. Then came along a good investigative journalist, a rare breed these days. This one, named Nicholas Gordon, was not going to allow the name of Fossey to be swept away into oblivion.
He crept into
Gordon carried out a brilliant investigation and wrote the book: "Murders in the Mist" in which he pointed to the killers of Dian. However, what Nicholas did not know, or could not believe, was that his own murder in
However at this time there was a Tutsi invasion from
From what I know, he drove into forbidden territory, that of Mutara, the forbidden zone of Rwanda - a desolate and treeless former game reserve in the north-east and off limits to all but the Tutsi. With the Hutus defeated, the Tutsis were exacting revenge and Gordon again was to see too much. From what I learnt, he was a marked man in
The story, he will have to tell himself—but I understand there was an officer in the then United Nations Force, Major Berrington Mkoma of Zambia, who stepped in, and history records, saved Gordon from death.
Major Berrington Mkoma, a professional officer trained in
Chiluba has since been in and out of court but as yet has not been found guilty of any corruption charges that include a billion dollar embezzlement accusation that occurred during his presidency. However, in 1998 some 80 soldiers and two politicians were brought to trial. As far as I remember Major Mkoma at first was not amongst the accused but with politics being what they are was dragged in by Chiluba and in the end was found guilty and sentenced to death.
Major Mkoma has been in prison since then; first in
Mkoma, was senior officer, and a man who has always proudly and loudly asserted his innocence. He now is seriously ill with a life-threatening disease which is daily gaining strength. A few weeks ago Mkoma was given a date for his release - October this year. But mercy may have come too late. He is so ill that on being transferred to
There is no question he has had a horrible, cruel time in prison and from what I hear his life threatening illness was deliberately caused by inhuman jailers. Mkoma has suffered too long.
Soon he may be out of his misery, but why deny him the freedom he so richly deserves and which has been so malevolently denied him? Several years ago I wrote of this brave Major's case in my then Living History and kind well placed Americans did what they could but met with deaf ears.
Yesterday I learned that the Nicholas Gordon whose life Major Mkoma saved so long ago has made a dash out to
Here we have a journalist, rare these days, prepared to fight for someone who helped save his life. I hope to hear that the president's good reputation will be confirmed and greatly enhanced in the international community by a gracious and kindly gesture of goodwill and he will order Major Mkoma's immediate release.

Oman's efforts to develop its non-oil related exports came under the spotlight in Muscat on October 27 and 28, at a seminar on export marketing in states of the European Union member states.
The seminar, which was organized by the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry in conjunction with the British Arab Chamber of Commerce, was opened by Darwish bin Ismael al-Balushi, the under-secretary of the Oman ministry of finance, who provided participants with a profile of the sultanate's export position to date.
According to the Oman Daily Observer, Al-Balushi stressed that, to encourage foreign investment in export-generating industries, his government was acting to provide a legal and legislative framework that provides conducive conditions for free competition. The government also offers a range of other types of incentives, which encompass marketing and export activities as well as manufacturing.
In this respect, Al-Balushi said, the government had established the export credit guarantees agency in 1991, which by 1999 had provided guarantees for Omani exports worth 99 million Omani riyals (RO).
A year earlier, the government also created the Omani Center for Investment Promotion and Export Development to assist the private sector in increasing Omani origin exports to external markets by conducting market research and promoting Omani products abroad. These measures, the official said, were responsible for Oman's non-oil-related exports climbing from RO 79 million in 1991 to RO 201.4 million in 1999.
Still, Al-Balushi said the volume of Omani exports to European Union countries was less than satisfactory. Nonetheless, he expressed hope that, with Oman becoming a member of the World Trade Organization, an improvement would now take place. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

New California law aimed at stadium safety
Raiders games cited by Gov. Jerry Brown
Sports fans are passionate about their teams, but sometimes they go over the top. That's when fights can break out.
A new California law requires professional sports venues to post telephone numbers in parking lots and the stands for stadium security.
In an exclusive interview with KCRA 3, Gov. Jerry Brown explained why he just signed Assembly Bill 2464 into law.
"If you've ever been in the Black Hole for Raiders games, you know there are some rowdies," Brown said.
"And if people get too far out of line, there will be a number that will be projected for all to see, so they can call to get some police help," Brown told KCRA 3.
Football fans KCRA 3 interviewed at a sports bar on Sunday gave the new law a favorable reception.
One of the most vocal supporters was Kathy Moix, who watched her son Koa Misi on television, as the outside linebacker made a tackle for the Miami Dolphins.
"I've been to stadiums where it's really, really rowdy," the NFL mom told KCRA 3.
"The only way to get people to take care of it is to be able to call a number to get them removed," Moix said.
California stadiums will have that requirement starting in January.
"It's a good idea to me," said Lions fan Chris Wink.
"Safety is the best thing I know," Wink added.
But some fans wondered if the new law goes too far.
"I have no problem with new laws if they actually solve a problem," said Jets fan Larry Dienes.
"But if it's reactionary, it may be overdoing it," Dienes told KCRA 3.
The new law affects baseball stadiums, too. It was inspired in part by the brutal beating last year of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium.
The new law requires the owner of any professional sports facility in California, to post written notices displaying the text message number and telephone number to contact security in order to report a violent act. College sports venues are exempt under the new law.

2010 Coleworx Buggy - Screamin' BluePosted in Features on May 26, 2014
There are those who love it and those who hate it, but rock bouncing is undeniably one of the most exciting forms of 4-wheeling to watch. Rock bouncing rigs are purpose-built machines designed to launch up hills and rocks while holding the throttle wide open, jumping and bouncing to the top in spectacular fashion. In order to handle this full-throttle, no-fear driving style, rock bouncing rigs need to be tough. Tough in this case means components like 14-bolt axles with 40-spline axleshafts and a transfer case originally designed for a monster truck.
"Everything you need, nothing you don't"
Bobby Tanner's Coleworx buggy, Screamin' Blue, is one of the original bouncers that started the bouncing revolution. Built by ColeWorx in Tennessee in 2010, it has seen more than its fair share of abuse over the years. This ColeWorx rig has competed in two seasons of the Southern Rock Racing Series, not to mention tons of hardcore wheeling.
With Bobby, rock bouncing is a family affair. His daughter Shelby and sons Ethan and Jordan are all involved in off-roading and have their own rock bouncing rigs. If you've ever seen a rock bouncing video on YouTube, you've probably seen someone from the Tanner family!
With the high horsepower and violent driving style, the tires and wheels have to be tough. The tire of choice for rock bouncing is the 43-inch Super Swamper SX sticky. These are mounted on a set of 17 inch Raceline forged double beadlocks. Generally, these rigs will run 15-20 psi in their tires to avoid "pinch flats" when running into big rocks at speed.
Tech Specs
2010 ColeWorx Screamin' Blue
Engine: GM 388 stroker
Transmission: TH400
Transfer case: 3.8:1 SCS straight-drive gearbox

Beautiful Outdoor Winter Gathering
Even in winter, Bill Heffernan's garden is a sight to behold
As summer fades, event designer Bill Heffernan's thoughts turn to winter, the outdoor decor, and a party to celebrate it. Seasonal commissions—like a winter gala for the Art Institute or an anniversary party for one of Chicago's leading society figures—consume much of his creative thinking and keep his design firm jumping. "I've always wanted to do something major at home but rarely do—probably because I'm too wrapped up with clients' events," says Bill. "But this year I decided to go nuts—in good taste, of course!"
"My guests know that when they come to my house for a party, the tour of the garden is obligatory," says Bill. "Only when they've oohed and ahhed over each light do they get a glass of champers." So dress warmly for winter gatherings at Bill's place, but know that a sumptuous meal awaits, served up as only he knows how: with great panache tempered by classic good taste.
Photography: Anne Ryan
Host and garden designer: Bill Heffernan, William Heffernan Designs, 3735 N. Kevdale Ave., Chicago, IL 60641; 773/481-1970.
Chicagoland in winter is an unpredictable venue in which to launch a garden spectacle; it's sure to snow, but when is up for grabs. "I get my guys out there hanging Italian lights (the small, twinkling sort) by early December," says Bill. "Then I know the garden will at least be dusted with light if not snowflakes in time for entertaining."
Bill's garden is composed of boxwood hedges highlighted by topiary cones and obelisks. There are oversized urns spilling with colored foliage plants that change with the seasons. Near the kitchen door there's a small pavilion for outdoor dining.
The structures in the garden lend themselves perfectly to decoration. Few things are prettier than the warm glow of tiny lights filtered through evergreen branches or a blanket of snow. Bill agrees: "It looks glorious! The boxwood spheres look like iced buns, and the whole place becomes an enchanted woods.
"I start by planning exactly what the theme will be for the decor, indoors and out," says Bill, "and then shape the dinner party around this, figuring out how many people and who. The mix is important—friends and family; workmates and clients."
If he plans to use caterers, Bill books them more than a month before the party, and he also arranges for serving assistants. "I like to enjoy my dinner parties, so I'll usually have a chef and serving staff in to do the work. I compose the menu with the chef, though, to be sure my table offers what I want my guests to have."
Three weeks out, Bill designs his tabletop, ensuring he has adequate place settings and ordering replacements to fill gaps. "Now's a good point in the process to lay in wine and spirits for the party," advises Bill. "Nothing's worse than last-minute dashes to the liquor store, particularly during the holiday season, when everyone else is doing just that!"
Bill employs specialists to help him decorate outdoors. Stringing Italian lights around the trees is, he says, "best left to those who know how to handle themselves on ladders—and cherry-pickers if the trees are really tall." But he prefers to decorate some spaces himself, favoring natural materials such as boughs covered in bright berries and the green of Granny Smith apples dotted over the boxwood bushes in the porch containers.
Bill and his spaniel, Charlie, make one last inspection of the garden before the party.
Bill attends to last-minute details.
Charlie is groomed and ready to mingle.
Bill hung velvet curtains to enclose the pavilion for the party. The pavilion welcomes guests with drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
A warm glow draws guests along the garden path toward the pavilion.
Beef Tenderloin with Caper Sauce and Wine Reduction (pictured)
- 1- to 3-pound center-cut beef tenderloin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 to 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 cups dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut up
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 to 2 tablespoons capers, well drained
Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400˚F.
In 12-inch oven-proof skillet, brown tenderloin on all sides in hot oil. Drain fat. Add rosemary sprigs to skillet and place in oven. For medium-rare meat, roast tenderloin, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until internal temperature registers 135˚F on instant-read thermometer. Remove tenderloin to serving platter. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Meat temperature will rise about 10 degrees while standing. Discard rosemary sprigs.
Pour wine into hot skillet. Place skillet over medium heat, scraping up any meat juices. Bring wine to boil; boil gently, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Add 2 tablespoons butter in small pieces, whisking until smooth. Transfer to serving bowl and keep warm.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, cook shallots in 2 teaspoons butter for about 3 minutes or until just tender.
Remove saucepan from heat. Add brandy; return to heat. Bring to boil and boil gently for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add cream and boil gently about 3 minutes more or until slightly thickened. Stir in capers. Cut beef in thick slices and place in center of platter. Spoon over some of caper sauce. Pool wine reduction around meat. Makes 8 servings.
Lobster Tails in Saffron Broth
- 3 to 4 pounds fresh or frozen lobster tails
- 2-1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 (10-ounce) cans whole baby clams
- Bottled clam juice (3–3 1⁄2 cups)
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 leeks, white parts thinly sliced and rinsed well
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 6 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- Dairy sour cream
- Chopped fresh chives
Thaw lobster tails if frozen. Combine wine, onion, and garlic in 8- or 10-quart pot. Bring to boil. Add lobster tails; return to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 10–12 minutes or until shells turn bright red and meat is opaque. Remove lobster and set aside to cool. Strain wine mixture, discarding solids. Set strained wine aside.
Drain clams, reserving liquid. Place liquid in 1-quart glass measuring cup. Add additional clam juice to equal 4 cups and combine with water and strained wine. Set clam juice mixture and clams aside.
Melt butter in 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add leeks; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender but not browned. Add clam juice mixture, tomatoes, lemon peel, and saffron. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove lobster meat from shells; cut into bite-size pieces. Add lobster and drained clams to clam juice mixture. Cook over low heat until just heated through. Serve in warm bowls, garnishing each with a swirl of sour cream and sprinkling of chives. Makes 8 servings.
Tip: If desired, substitute 3 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, for lobster. Add shrimp to boiling wine mixture. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are opaque. Do not overcook. Remove shrimp from wine mixture and coarsely chop.
Make-ahead: Prepare as above, but refrigerate wine mixture in airtight container for up to 24 hours. When lobster is cool enough to handle, remove meat from shells and cut into bite-size pieces. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours. To serve, continue as directed, making broth with reserved wine mixture, leeks, and clam juice.

Power outages across East Meadow left many families no choice but to vacate their homes. Among the thousands of residents who waited up to two weeks for power to be restored, many were fortunate to have friends and families welcome them into their homes, providing warmth and shelter when they needed it most.
For Sharon Oderwald, remaining in her house was not an option. Her 5-year-old daughter, Violet, has leukemia, and was scheduled to undergo a round of treatment on Nov. 11, including a spinal tap, chemotherapy, and steroids at Winthrop University Hospital. It was of the utmost importance to keep Violet healthy — mentally and physically — in the days leading up to her treatment, she said.
So when her Randall Avenue home lost power on Oct. 29, she and Violet, along with her husband Thomas and 15-month-old daughter Josephine, spent the next two weeks staying in three different homes of friends and family, until their power was finally restored on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
"We knew if it were to get cold, and if we didn't have power or heat, it was going to be a problem," said Oderwald. "It would have been much more difficult to keep her healthy and to keep her comfortable."
Hurricane Sandy's 85 mile-per-hour gusts caused a pine tree to fall in Oderwald's backyard. Though the tree inflicted no structural damage to her house, it took out a power line and disabled electricity in her home.
The Oderwalds' first stop was to the home of family friends Mick and Gretchen McGowan, who live in East Meadow, but did not lose power in their Oxford Street apartment. After that, the family relocated to Little Neck, Queens, for a week to stay with Thomas's parents, Judy and Don.
During that time, Oderwald said she hired a man to remove the fallen tree in her backyard, and had an electrician come to look at her power lines. "We knew once LIPA trucks got here, they'd be good to go," she said. "It's just that it took them over two weeks to get here."
Violets, already stressed as she prepared for her cancer treatment, started to show greater symptoms of anxiety, including severe nail biting and sleep deprivation. "From the moving around, and from not being in her own environment, she started to exhibit anxiety," said Oderwald. "I was really afraid."

So in my quest to provide the best winter experience possible for my bees here in SW CO, I ran into the idea of a quilt box. Has anyone tried them? Good, bad, indifferent? They are used to suck up moisture in the hives during the winter.
I have moisture boards - good or bad idea?
Talk to me, peeps!
On the winter thread, we get a lot of snow at times and very cold weather. Winters here last from October (we had a snow storm yesterday!) to mid-April.
My plan for addressing moisture/ cold:
* Moisture board above inner cover
* Quilt box?
* No opening the deeps until Spring - keep propolis in order.
* Tar paper around hives
* Two entrances - upper and lower
* Custom bottom boards to close up the SBB
* Wall of straw on pallets a couple feet from the hives on wind exposure sides
* pray and hope they make it
Anything else?

The immediate questions facing the Cleveland Browns can wait. Friday was a day for celebration.
Based on the introductory press conference for Jimmy Haslam, who has agreed to buy the team, there should be a lot of smiling faces in Cleveland. Tony Grossi of ESPNCleveland summed up the local media reaction:.
My reaction on Haslam: WOW.â Tony Grossi (@TonyGrossi) August 3, 2012
Haslam's passion and intelligence stood out during the session. Most importantly, Haslam stressed how engaged he planned to be as owner. He will be at the team's Family Night next week. He'll sit in the crowd for the Browns' preseason opener.
These may sound like small gestures, but they are welcome news to Browns fans who grew tired of former owner Randy Lerner's distant approach.
We did not expect to learn much about the future of president Mike Holmgren and head coach Pat Shurmur on Friday. It's not the time or place for that.
"The league has to have an official meeting in October and until then Randy will own the team," Haslam said. "So it's his team and it would be very presumptuous and very poor form for us to make any personnel decisions or comments."
Haslam went on to say that Holmgren is a "legend" and that it would be the "wrong thing" to comment on any personnel decisions.
We wouldn't read too much into the praise; that's a conversation for another day. There won't be any changes until Haslam is officially in charge, and the new owner can use the 2012 to evaluate his staff.
Friday was all about this new era in Browns football. Browns fans have deserved better for a long time. Based on everything we heard from Haslam, they have to be thrilled for this change.

Last night Jon had a hockey game right after his baseball practice. This left Hannah and I without any time for dinner and with the hockey game not starting until almost 7:00 PM, waiting until after the game was not an option. Jon has to be at the game about 30 minutes beforehand, so I dropped him off and Hannah and I headed out in search of something to eat. I didn't want fast food…..too much of a risk of CC and there were plenty of other restaurants around. Question was, which one would be most accommodating to my GF diet. I hadn't dined at any of them, except Ruth's Chris & The Fish Market, both of which were a little more than I wanted to spend on a quick dinner. So, I saw Champp's and decided to give it a try. I figured at the very least I could ask them to slap a burger in a clean frying pan and make me a dry salad (I carry dressing in my purse in small packets ~ made by Kraft). I asked to speak with the manager on duty and she immediately said there would be no problem and headed off to get me a print out of what would be safe for me to eat.
The manager returned with a nice print out of many things that would be safe for me to eat. There was chili, several different meal salads, burgers, grilled chicken, fajitas (sans tortillas), steak. WOW! I was impressed! I ended up ordering the Cobb salad with grilled chicken. They had several GF dressings, but I stuck with my Kraft Light Balsamic that I carry with me. I know there are no onions in it; those make me almost as sick as gluten. My salad was HUGE and very, very yummy. Way too much bacon, black olives & egg, but still very yummy. Next time I know to order light on that stuff. $9.99 for that….great deal. I will definitely be adding this to my list of places to eat GF safely. 🙂
