Date: Jul 24, 2013
Press Release Number: 71-2013
Site, building and utility improvements will generate 1,500 jobs and $364 million in economic activity
LaGuardia Airport's infrastructure will soon undergo an array of site, building and utility modernization projects following a $255 million authorization approved by the Port Authority's Board of Commissioners. The Board's action is the latest in the agency's ongoing program to upgrade the airport's infrastructure to meet current operational needs and future passenger growth.
The authorization for LaGuardia infrastructure improvements will generate 1,500 jobs, $112 million in wages and $364 million in economic activity for the region, with more than 95 percent of the Port Authority's expenditures reimbursable in federal passenger facility charges.
The action follows previous Board authorizations for design and construction of an East Garage and East End Substation for the airport at an estimated cost of $190 million. Additionally, Delta Air Lines – the airport's largest carrier – has embarked on projects to improve Terminals C and D and upgrade customer service.
"Modernizing the infrastructure of the Port Authority's major airports is a top priority for the agency and vital to the region's economic success,'' said Port Authority Chairman David Samson. "With our airports expected to set a new combined record for passengers in 2013, and robust growth projected in the coming decades, it is critical that we advance projects like this today to meet the travel demands of tomorrow."
"These infrastructure projects will help ready LaGuardia Airport for aviation's next generation as it modernizes one of New York City's premier gateways,'' said Port Authority Vice Chairman Scott Rechler. "Governor Cuomo's commitment to upgrading New York's airports is central to his goal of making New York State the global leader in tourism, creating thousands of jobs and continuing to grow our economy."
LaGuardia Airport handled 25.7 million in 2012, the third most in the airport's 74-year history, with a forecast for 34 million passengers by 2030. CONTACT: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey 212-435-7777
Founded in 1921, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. The agency's network of aviation, ground, rail, and seaport facilities is among the busiest in the country, supports more than 550,000 regional jobs, and generates more than $23 billion in annual wages and $80 billion in annual economic activity. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center site, where construction crews are building the iconic One World Trade Center, which is now the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The Port Authority receives no tax revenue from either the State of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency raises the necessary funds for the improvement, construction or acquisition of its facilities primarily on its own credit. For more information, please visit http://www.panynj.gov.

Emotions ran high as Germany's biggest terrorism trial in decades got underway Monday in Munich. The hearing is on the murders of 10 people who were the victims of a nearly decadelong neo-Nazi terror campaign against the Turkish community there.
A group of Turkish immigrants scuffled with German security forces, trying to get into the courthouse to see the trial up close. They and many others among the 3 million people of Turkish descent who live in Germany are angry, saying the murders and aftermath highlight prevalent racism not just in society but in the government. They want to know why German authorities failed to uncover — let alone stop — the terror campaign against them.
Seventy-seven relatives of the victims are co-plaintiffs alongside the government. They are expected to be in the courtroom on and off during the trial, which could last for years. More than 600 witnesses are scheduled to be called.
The five defendants are appearing in public for the first time since their arrest more than a year ago. At least one of the four male defendants pulled the hood of his sweatshirt over his face to avoid the cameras.
The main defendant — Beate Tschaepe, 38 — entered the courtroom with a smug expression and her arms crossed. She is believed to be the last surviving member of the National Socialist Underground, which is the alleged terrorist cell suspected of carrying out the murders. The other four defendants are accused of helping the NSU:
— Ralf Wohlleben, 38, and Carsten Schultze, 33, are accused of being accessories to murder in the killing of the nine men. (The 10th victim was a German policewoman). Prosecutors allege that they supplied Tschaepe and two other members — who later killed themselves — with the weapons and silencers used in the murders.
— Andre Eminger, 33, is accused of helping in two bank robberies and in a 2001 bombing in Cologne's old town. He is also accused of two counts of supporting a terrorist organization.
— Holger Gerlach, 39, is accused of three counts of supporting a terrorist organization.
Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, whose reporter is one of the few in the courtroom, wrote that the proceeding was quickly halted when defense attorneys sought the removal of the lead judge. They accused him of bias because the defense team was searched for weapons before they entered, while the prosecution and others were not.
The trial resumed a half-hour later, after the motion was apparently dismissed.
In Germany, the biggest terrorism trial in decades is set to begin today. The case centers on a 38-year-old woman, the only surviving member of a right-wing extremist group called the National Socialist Underground, or NSU. The group is accused of killing 10 people, most of them of Turkish descent. Now, although the families of the victims fear the trial will drag on for years, they hope it will shine light on the racism they believe is still prevalent in German society. In Berlin, NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson has been following this story, and she prepared this report.
ISMAIL YOZGAT: (crying) (Foreign language spoken)
SORAYA SARHADDI NELSON, BYLINE: Ismail Yozgat weeps as he describes the murder of his only son to the German president during a recent meeting filmed by public broadcaster ARD. Twenty-one-year-old Halit Yozgat was fatally shot seven years ago at the family's Internet cafe in the central German city of Kassel. His is one of 10 murders blamed on the NSU.
Its last known member goes on trial today, along with four supporters. At the videotaped meeting, German President Joachim Gauck put his arm around the elder Yozgat's shoulders, but Yozgat is not comforted.
YOZGAT: (Foreign language spoken)
NELSON: He shouts: If the government offered us millions, I wouldn't take it. His frustration is shared by many among the three million people of Turkish descent living in Germany. They want to know why German authorities failed to uncover - let alone stop - a decade-long Neo-Nazi terror campaign against them. Instead, police blamed the victims, linking them to foreign criminal gangs. Barbara John is the government-appointed representative for the families.
BARBARA JOHN: In some cases, the police entered the private apartments of the families with dogs in order to find something. And of course all the neighbors looked at them and said: Well, you know, when the German police think something is wrong with this family, that they must have a point.
NELSON: It wasn't until late 2011 when authorities finally identified the murders as part of a homebred terror campaign by the National Socialist Underground. Police uncovered a gun used in the shootings as well as video-taped confessions by two NSU members who committed suicide.
CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL: (Foreign language spoken)
NELSON: At a memorial service last year, Chancellor Angela Merkel apologized to the victims. Several top officials - including the head of Germany's domestic security service - were forced to resign over the botched investigations. But critics say little has changed since then. Mely Kiak is a German author and journalist of Turkish descent.
MELY KIAK: (Foreign language spoken)
NELSON: She says there are still too many people here who think anyone in Germany with immigrant roots doesn't belong and causes trouble. She and others also criticize the way German officials are handling the trial. It is starting three weeks later than planned because of problems over media access.
Nor does the government appear to have a strong case against the main defendant - Beate Zschaepe. Daniel Koehler of EXIT Deutschland, a group that helps people leave Neo-Nazi movements, says if prosecutors can't prove Zschaepe played a role in the killings, they will no longer be viewed as terrorist acts, but as simple murders committed by her two dead accomplices.
DANIEL KOEHLER: And this would mean, by the German legal definition, that this group was not a terrorist organization because they have to be three, at least.
NELSON: He adds that an acquittal would bolster German authorities who don't view Neo-Nazis as a serious threat to society. Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, NPR News, Berlin.

The dagger is tricky. The +3 xp is nice but you only get it for killing relatively low level monsters. The problem is that you reach a point where you are out of realistically obtainable level ups, but all or most of the high level monsters are still alive. Worse, your popcorn supply has been depleted. You can actually end up losing experience if you cut yourself off from the 7+ monsters.
The dagger has its uses, but I still prefer 'traditional' play, attacking very high level monsters, with a special emphasis on knocking out the 7s, 8s and 9s while it is still possible to fight them and recover via non-popcorn fueled level ups.

Audi has big plans for the future
Audi is considering bookending its now-sprawling model range with two extreme cars. One would be blazingly fast, the other staggeringly economical. And in the middle, how about a truly hardcore lightweight version of the TT? Wolfgang Duerheimer, the new head of technical development at the brand, has been telling us about the cars he wants to get into the range.
He gave TopGear.com a lengthy brain-dump of possibilities he's been thinking up since he arrived at Audi three months ago. His brief was to push Audi's cars to the next level, so they can overtake BMW as the world's biggest-selling premium brand.
A meeting next week of the top management will decide the priorities, he says, and some of his ideas will undoubtedly make production. We don't know which yet – but then, how could we? He doesn't know either.
SUVs are growing [in sales] worldwide. There's room below the Q3. Room between the Q3, Q5 and Q7
His most dramatic scheme is a high-end supercar, 'above the R8'. He first had the idea of a hyper-Audi six months ago. 'I was at Le Mans in June, where I was just hearing rumours that I would get this job.' At the time he was boss of Bentley and Bugatti, but was at the race in his capacity of head of motorsport strategy for the whole VW Group. Before Bentley he'd been head of development at Porsche. In other words, the Panamera and Cayenne were his, and the decision to use aluminium in the 911 was also on his watch… and the beginning of the 918 project.
On with the story: 'I saw Audi win Le Mans for the 11th time, using a diesel hybrid quattro. This is absolutely a high-tech solution. On the way home I asked myself how to leverage this to the road. This could be a hot seller in the supersports segment.' So that's what he wants for Audi – a diesel hybrid hypercar. He doesn't seem bothered that Porsche is already doing a petrol car in that space, because after all the VW Group (which now includes Porsche) believes in internal competition.
We ask him whether supercar buyers want a diesel, when the 918 has a crazy-revving petrol V8. Duerheimer counters, 'That's an argument, but what always sells is performance. If a car is quick, but low in consumption and good-looking it would be quite an offer.' Besides, if we extrapolate further from what he says, it's worth noting that to be an exact reflection of the R18 e-tron quattro racer, the new hypercar wouldn't need heavy plug-in batteries like the 918, just a smaller lighter hybrid battery.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the range, he's talking about a proposal to build what the Germans call a 'one-litre car', meaning one that does 1.0 litres of fuel per 100km. Meaning a CO2 figure of about 27g/km. But he says it wouldn't be some tiny cigar-shaped two-seater. 'We can use the A1 platform. It would have four seats. It would be practical, safe, no compromise.' It would be a plug-in hybrid, he says. (This is a way of getting energy that's not actually counted in the official consumption and emissions figures because electricity is rightly or wrongly considered CO2-free by the authorities.) Although it would use the A1 platform, it would get individual styling. 'It would be recognisable in traffic.'
Another idea on his to-to list at Audi is a radical lightweight version of the next-generation TT. 'It would be less than 1000kg.' Could it be quattro at that weight? 'That's the challenge. You would have to take out steel and aluminium from the structure and insert carbonfibre.' He says the engineers know how to do this on the new MQB platform. 'And you would also have to add the weight of a roll cage,' he smiles, meaning it would be a car for track days. And would it need a radically downsized lightweight engine? 'No, I'm thinking of a five-cylinder.'
'This isn't yet an official project,' he cautions, 'But I will speed it up. It will be emotional, sporty and good-looking. It will be a breath of fresh air for the Audi brand.' Cost? 'It would be like the GT3 against the 911 Carrera. Pay more, get less. But I don't know exactly how much more.'
Audi is undergoing big changes. Duerheimer was appointed because his predecessor, Michael Dick, retired. But at the same time, Audi got a new design director, Wolfgang Egger, and a new sales and marketing chief, Luca de Meo. So the cars, and the way they're sold and branded, will all change direction subtly. Duerheimer's background is in sporting machinery – his career began in BMW's motorcycle racing division, so he's well-placed to work with Audi's new acquisition Ducati. He says Egger will design cars that are more progressive and individual, less of a collection of similar cars in different sizes.
So where else is there room for Audi to make new cars? 'SUVs are growing [in sales] worldwide. There's room below the Q3. Room between the Q3, Q5 and Q7.' Well we already know Audi is advanced with a Q2. It'll look a bit like the Crosslane Coupe concept. And next year there will be a Q4, a Range Rover Evoque challenger. 'And I like the idea of a high-end convertible or coupe,' he says, at the mention of the Mercedes SL, 'But that idea's still in the clouds.'
To be fair he insists on ending with a caution. We won't see all these cars. 'We have more ideas than we have engineers or time to do them. So we have to sort out the priorities. The super sports car is what I would like to do. And the one-litre car to define the two ends. But then, I've only been here 93 days. Don't take it all too seriously.' But this is a man who's accustomed to getting his way, because his way has a remarkable history of success.

Bicycle Fabrications
Hank Matheson of the Bicycle Fabrications is not afraid to push the limits of bicycle design. This year, Matheson had two very interesting prototype downhill bikes on display.
No, this bike's linkage does not employ old tubes and electrical tape. Bicycle Fabrications is attempting to patent a new multi-link suspension design. They are keeping things under wraps until the patent is pending.
Buried beneath the tubes and tape is a linkage that also allows for 1.5-inches of reward travel in addition to the bike's 8-inches of vertical travel. The idea is that the 1.5-inches of rearward travel is activated when the bicycle encounters square-edged bumps.
The two DH rigs have slightly different versions of the same linkage. Our educated guess is that the suspension employs an auxiliary shock—perhaps something similar to Kona's Magic Link, but rather than controlling geometry and suspension travel this shock is used to control the fore-aft axle path.
The bike's 63-degree headtube angle was not slack enough for Matheson, who prefers to ride with most of his weight over the front wheel. He uses an AngleSet to relax the head angle to 62.5-degrees. He admits his setup is not for everyone and that the rider really has to be pinning before the bike comes into its own.
Matheson's personal bike features Paragon Machine Work's sliding dropouts designed for a 12mm thru-axle. The sliders allow Matheson to adjust the bike's chainstay length from 16.5- to 17.25-inches. Rear spacing in 150mm.
Stinner Frameworks
Aaron Stinner of Stinner Frameworks built this fillet-brazed steel frame for a Denver-based rider looking to tackle to Tour Divide race. The customer's five-foot-five stature and specific race needs made him an ideal candidate for a custom 29er.
Thoughful touches abound, including sleeved top and downtubes to bolster the very front end stiffness, and internally-routed shift cables running through the downtube.
The stand out feature is the partial seatmast. Full seatmasts can cause shipping and transportation issues. This "half-mast" uses a sleeved seatube with artful cutouts.
Note the 142×12 rear end and the internally-routed brake line.
It's hard to miss a big black tandem, especially one as striking as Calfee's Tetra 29er.
There are few better applications for electronic shifting than tandem bicycles. K-Edge's "Ki2" electronic shifting kit converts Shimano's Di2 from a road to mountain/flatbar shifting system.
Much cleaner than Shimano's Di2 battery, Calfee's seat tube-mounted battery is housed in the stoker's seatpost.
Running the timing chain on the drive-side allows the user to spec a much wider range of non tandem-specific components, such as this pair of e*thirteen cranksets.
The one-piece, seatpost/stem/stoker bar combo is an impressive, and very time-intensive piece of work, but Calfee can't take all the credit. The seatpost is an ENVE setback and the handlebar is a 10-degree Ritchey WCS flatbar. They are joined together by a section of carbon tubing wrapped in strips of unidirectional carbon fiber cloth.
So how much does his carbon fiber masterpiece weigh?
Calfee was kind enough to humor my request to weight the complete bike.
The frame reportedly weights a scant 6.5 pounds. Calfee's custom carbon tandems frames start at $6,195. This complete bike cost the customer a cool $19,000.

PROVIDENCE, R.I., Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A Rhode Island priest has been suspended because of charges he was involved in sexual abuse more than 30 years ago, Catholic officials say.
The Diocese of Providence said in a release posted on its website Monday that Monsignor John Allard "has taken responsibility for his actions and has expressed his profound remorse for the harm he has caused." The diocese said there was a single credible complaint of sexual misconduct.
Allard, who was ordained in 1975, is on administrative leave and banned from functioning as a priest. He had been assigned to two Woonsocket parishes, St. Agatha and Precious Blood, and to a chapter of the Catholic Youth Organization.
"Allegations of abuse, even if they occurred many years ago, are taken very seriously," Bishop Thomas J. Tobin said. "For the many who are affected by this heartbreaking news, I offer my prayers for healing and forgiveness."

The most inaccurate part of the popular caricature of Ashley Cole is the notion that he is motivated exclusively by money.
Sure, his infamous fury at being offered just a £5,000-per-week pay rise when seeking a new contract at Arsenal six years ago exemplified the greed that has become so prevalent in the Premier League, but it is also true that Cole is so committed to his sport that he has never let his performances fall below gold standard.
Not for Arsenal, not for England and, most of all, not for Chelsea. So this fine display against Stoke City, crowned by his first goal since May 2010, had nothing to do with the fact that he is trying to coax a new contract out of Chelsea. But it sure did not diminish his bargaining power.
Cole's contract expires next summer and he has yet to agree a new deal at Stamford Bridge, meaning he could be free to listen to offers from other clubs in January. Chelsea have denied reports that talks between the player and the club are foundering because of Chelsea's refusal to offer more than a one-year deal to a player who turns 32 in December.
Roberto Di Matteo is certainly eager to cling on to the player and is convinced Cole will commit to the club before any other admirers get a chance to lure him elsewhere. "I'm very optimistic that it will be dealt with before [January]," said Di Matteo, who stressed Cole's value to the club. "He has become a Chelsea legend, he is now Chelsea through and through. He's been here many years and has contributed a lot to this club.
"He's a fantastic professional, which I'm not sure you know. Somebody that's the first one out in training, one of the first to the building with JT [John Terry]. He trains every day like a professional, he's reliable, somebody that you could go to war with. He's a very quiet guy as well, very private at his own stuff. And he's one of the best left-backs in the world."
Chelsea's right-back, Branislav Ivanovic, rates Cole even higher than that and sees no signs of his team-mate's power fading. "For me, Ash is the best left-back in the world and has been for a long time," said the Serb. "Ash has everything – he has skill, he has speed, he can overlap going forward. He is defensively good and has a good reading of the game. I think he can play on for many years because he does things really well. He runs a lot every game, more than other players. He has not lost anything."
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old David Luiz, who joined Chelsea only last year, signed a new five-year contract after this laboured victory over a valiant Stoke side. David Luiz was lucky to finish the match, as he curtailed a late counter-attack by the visitors with a wild lunge into the shins of Jon Walters. Stoke's anger at the foul was compounded by referee Michael Oliver's decision to only book the Brazilian, a sanction that means the FA can take no further action.
"The worst thing is that Luiz's challenge is very, very poor but because the referee's seen it and booked him, he's not going to miss a game," said Tony Pulis. "It's like a policeman watching a bank robber rob a bank and because he's seen it, the police are going to let him off whereas if he didn't, they'd arrest him. It's absolutely crazy."

Northeastern students learn in the classroom, in the laboratory, in the community, and around the world. Those who aspire to be our future medical doctors take advantage of this unique mix of opportunities to gain knowledge, develop skills, and build a professional network that will provide a strong foundation for medical training and practice. Succeeding in the rigorous academic program required for admission to health professional school takes dedication and hard work. Balancing those academic demands with service to the community, research, clinical experiences, and personal interests while trying to navigate a long and complex application process can be daunting. And that's why we are here to help guide Northeastern students and alumni on their journey by providing high quality information, targeted training, and personalized advising. It is an honor to play a part in the development of students who will make a difference in the lives of their patients, their communities, and the medical profession for years to come.
Our Mission
The purpose of the University PreHealth Advising Program is to provide resources and advising to members of the Northeastern community (students and alums) in all NU colleges and all NU fields of study regarding professional school expectations, preparation requirements, and application processes. Our mission is to both facilitate the success of NU applicants and be a trusted source of competent and caring health professionals. We work with students and alums considering careers in the areas of allopathic medicine (MD), osteopathic medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatric medicine, or veterinary medicine. The NU PreHealth website provides access to on-line resources, a calendar of workshops, presentations, and special events, as well as information about how to request individualized advising, and how to network with other PreHealth students, NU alums who are current medical students, and healthcare professionals.

Director Oliver Stone gets back to the grit that typified much of his early work with this version of Don Winslow's novel, sparked by a couple of young drug peddlers (Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson) who refuse to play with a cartel boss (Salma Hayek) who wants in on their business.
That gets the guys' mutual girlfriend (Blake Lively) kidnapped, with a shady DEA operative (John Travolta) ultimately involved. Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro and Oscar nominee Demian Bichir ("A Better Life") also appear in the effective tale.

Meat House closes doors at 4 of its NH storesBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 11. 2014 7:14PM
The Meat House has closed all but two of its New Hampshire stores, but the company claims the closures are only temporary.
In a notice posted on its website and on doors of its stores, co-founders Jason Parent and Justin Rosberg said, "We have made the decision to temporarily close our doors while we remodel our stores. We look forward to serving you and your community in the very near term."
The Meat House's Amherst and Dover stores remain open, while its locations in Bedford, Pembroke, Portsmouth and Stratham have closed.
Parent and Rosberg opened their first Meat House in Portsmouth in 2003.
The neighborhood butcher shop and specialty food store has expanded over the years and now has franchise opportunities.
The company did not respond to questions seeking comment on the closures. A marketing representative from the company asked that questions be e-mailed, but there was no response by press time.
It's unclear whether the timing of the closures is related to a federal lawsuit filed by investors Jan. 22 in the U.S. District Court in Concord.
Massachusetts investors Edward R. Barry, William Kenney, Scott J. Nathan and Scott Tellier filed suit against Meat House Franchising and J & J Investments and Centrix Bank & Trust.
According to the suit, the four invested in and loaned $350,000 to The Meat House and its franchise business and operations under an agreement made on Nov. 16, 2010. They acquired non-voting memberships in exchange for their capital investment, the suit said.
"The agreement specifically allowed the investors to demand repayment of their respective investment plus 20 percent after the passage of the first anniversary date of the agreement. Despite repeated demands made to Rosberg and Parent as the controlling members of the company, repayment to the investors has not occurred as contractually agreed and remains outstanding. Rosberg and Parent, while acknowledging that monies are owed, have simply refused repayment," the suit said.
The suit seeks damages plus interest, attorneys' fees and other costs related to the alleged breach of their agreement.

Jim Kruger was your typical fourth-grader at Newcomb Elementary in 1969. He was a little lackadaisical and scared of his new teacher, Rosemary Fielder.
But all of that anxiety went away as Mrs. Fielder became Kruger's favorite teacher and the one he remembered the most 43 years later.
At a recent dinner celebrating the raising of more than $l million by the Newcomb Academy Foundation since 2003, Kruger said it was Mrs. Fielder's inspiration that led him to paying back his old school.
"Her life spanned 92 years and she lived and learned with a passion that planted a seed and remains with me to this day," he said. "Thank you, Rosemary, for making me measure up, believing in me and making me stretch."
Kruger is a founding director of the Newcomb Foundation, a grass-roots organization aimed at aggressively raising money for the K-8 school. The foundation is part of a growing trend by alumni and supporters to help some schools in the budget-starved Long Beach Unified School District.
The list of school-based foundations includes Prisk, Lowell, Fremont, Naples, Hughes, Longfellow, Cubberley and Newcomb. Other schools raise money through the Long Beach Education Foundation, a more common route.
"But we have seen these individual school foundations crop up in recent years as parents have sought ways to give back to our schools," said Chris Eftychiou, the LBUSD public information director.
Eftychiou said total funds donated by the community in recent years were: $1.5million in 2008-09; almost $1.2million in 2009-10 and almost $1.5 million in 2010-11. A little more than half of these totals were donated by foundations and PTAs, he said. In addition to these numbers, the Long Beach Education Foundation raised $1.1 million for distribution to schools this year.
Chris Steinhauser, LBUSD superintendent, said that while such fundraising efforts can't make up for the millions of dollars in cuts to Long Beach public schools, parents, alumni and others have been very generous with their donations and they are making a positive impact.
"They provide a great resource for some of the programs that have been cut," he said.
Thanks to the Newcomb Foundation, there are two fully equipped computer labs on campus, along with a computer aide, for both elementary and middle school students to use, Kruger said. All keyboarding equipment and music, along with the keyboarding instructor's salary, is paid for by the foundation, he said.
Other areas the foundation helps fund at Newcomb include science teachers and science lab supplies, technology aides and supplies, drama classes, home economics, marine biology, math club and photography.
Kruger said he is especially proud of the MIND program, starring a character that kids love, JiJi, a penguin. MIND combines music and math concepts to teach students.
Kruger said the foundation is working on a budget of $144,525 for the coming school year.
"Our budgeting process is comprehensive and collaborative, driven on input and priorities established by administrators, teachers and parents," he said.
The foundation has no paid employees, only volunteers.
Kruger said the foundation is collaborating with the Newcomb PTA as school begins on a comprehensive membership drive to jump-start fundraising for this fiscal year.
Gray Lange, Newcomb principal, said the parental involvement at Newcomb is "the best I've ever seen."
Kruger said the Newcomb Foundation was born from frustration with the status quo.
"Enrichment curriculum was evaporating," he said. "Budgets were just beginning to quiver."
He credits his wife, Dawn, who served two terms as PTA president, with kick- starting his community involvement and eventual founding of the foundation with Juan Salcedo.
It's safe to say Kruger has Newcomb blood running through his veins.
"I come from two generations of the Kruger family at Newcomb," he said. "Newcomb has been a huge part of my life. My sister and I graduated from there. My three children graduated from Newcomb."
In Kruger's other life, he is owner of Expertow, a towing company operating in the Greater Long Beach Area and Orange County, and a Keller Williams Realtor with his wife. He also is this year's president of Leadership Long Beach.
Kruger said the next challenge for the foundation is dealing with a major change at Newcomb. The school, built in the 1960s at 3351 Val Verde Ave. and named after Douglas A. Newcomb, longtime LBUSD superintendent, will be demolished and replaced by a new school at the same location over the next three years. In the meantime, starting with this fall's classes, Newcomb students will be educated at Keller Elementary, 7020 E. Brittain St.
The demolition of Newcomb and construction of a new school is made possible by Measure K, a ballot initiative approved by 71 percent of voters in 2008. Measure K makes available $1.2billion from property taxes to build, renovate and improve schools in the LBUSD.
The temporary location of Newcomb students at Keller makes no difference to Kruger or his foundation colleagues in their fundraising efforts.
"The foundation is always with the Newcomb community, wherever that may be," he said. "Everything provided at the current facility will be continued at the interim facility. Donors and volunteers will make it happen. We must have the resources to fuel young minds to build our intellectual infrastructure for the future."
Mrs. Fielder would be proud of her young pupil.

text: I had a breast reduction 10 yrs ago and nipple reconstruction 8 yrs ago and am now having trouble with milk supply. My baby is 10 days old and I still feel like my milk has not come in yet. I've had to supplement since day 3, but I'm still nursing her and giving the formula through the tube feeding at the breast and then I pump for 15 min after each feed. When I pump, I'm lucky to get 5 ml out of one breast and a few drops from the other. On day 9 I started taking Fenugreek, drinking mother's milk tea, and eating lactation cookies, but so far no real change in my milk supply. I'm also trying my best to guzzle water all day long. Any suggestions of what else to do and is there anyone else who had a reduction who can relate. I'm starting to get frustrated and wonder how long will I have to do this tube feeding. I haven't given a bottle or pacifier, but sometimes I really feel like I want to.

Automatic Systems, Inc.
- Reduced delays related to revision control issues
- Established fast data search and viewing capabilities
- Improved management of design data by job
- Expanded access to design data to other departments and partners
The Challenge
Automatic Systems, Inc. (ASI), is a leading producer of material handling systems that automate manufacturing processes. After transitioning to the SolidWorks 3D CAD system in 1999 to boost large-assembly productivity and improve product quality, the company discovered that its internally developed document management system could only handle flat files. ASI needed a modern PDM system to manage associations and references within parts, subassemblies, and assemblies.
The Solution
The company selected SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software because of its easy-to-use Windows Explorer interface, industry-leading price-performance ratio, web-based operation, and data-preview capabilities. By implementing SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software, ASI reduced delays related to revision control issues, established fast data search and viewing capabilities, improved its management of design data by job, and expanded access to design data to other departments and partners.

Officials with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are concerned about cold temperatures and how those temperatures might affect deer if the weather doesn't warm up soon.
Since the start of December, DWR biologists have been monitoring deer herds across Utah. The following are the five factors biologists monitor to determine how well the deer are doing:
The condition of deer as they entered the winter; the amount of food on winter ranges; depth of the snow; how cold are temperatures; amount of body fat found on deer killed along roads.
Deer in good shape
Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the DWR, says one of the five factors – the temperature – has reached a critical point in some areas in Utah.
Despite the cold temperatures, Aoude says Utah's deer herds are doing well.
"Fortunately," he says, "deer went into the winter with an average layer of fat on them. And the snow depth in most of the state is not covering the vegetation. Slopes that face south are nearly bare in some areas, so the deer can still find food."
If conditions deteriorate, biologists will consider feeding deer specially designed pellets.
The pellets are formulated to fit the complex digestive system mule deer have. The pellets are also designed to give deer extra energy. Extra energy is something deer often need when the temperature is cold and the snow is deep.
If the need arises, the DWR is ready to purchase pellets and feed deer.
Aoude says DWR biologists will continue to monitor the deer herds closely. "If feeding becomes necessary," he says, "we'll make sure it's done at the right time and with the right type of food."
A new website – www.watchfordeerutah.com – provides more information about deer behavior and how to drive safely in deer country.

Top Reasons to Visit the Village Inn & Pub
- It's located on Georgia's lovely St. Simons Island, within walking distance of the beach. You can bike, hike, fly-fish, and sunbathe at the island's beaches; if you get there early enough in the morning, you might even catch sight of the dolphins that often swim in the sound.
- The Inn has been praised by numerous publications, including Southern Living, Delta's Sky magazine, and Coastal Living.
- A mahogany bar brought over from England anchors the Village Pub, and leather chairs are set beside a stone fireplace. There's a wide selection of beer and wine here, but the popular specialty drink is the wild-orchid martini.
- You can drink at the onsite pub; it's also an easy walk to fine shopping and dining in the village.
- Each of the guest rooms has a unique layout and features an island plantation style.
St. Simons Island, Georgia: Coastal Marshlands and Historic Lighthouses
The largest of Georgia's famed "Golden Isles," St. Simons Island has raked in some impressive awards in recent years: AOL Travel named it 1 of America's 10 Best Islands for its picturesque, marshland setting; Budget Travel cited its historical landmarks and white-sand beaches in its list of the country's 10 best winter beach retreats; and in 2010, Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards ranked the 18-square-mile hideaway the fifth-best island in the United States. Despite these accolades, St. Simons Island remains a quiet vacation destination, one where seafood shacks and Mediterranean mansions share the same oceanfront avenue.
St. Simons is dotted with verdant marshlands, maritime forests, and scenic waterways. An extensive network of scenic biking trails cut through the countryside and fishing charters and shrimp boats offer excursions year-round. You'll get a different view of the island from the top of St. Simons Lighthouse. Built in 1872, this Victorian-style tower stands 104 feet tall and features exhibits relating to Coast Guard history.

1. Re: ICH9R Raid5 malfunction?PeterUK Feb 4, 2011 4:59 AM (in response to Isurfer)
There is no support for 2TB+ for XP SP3
You are also using a old version of the RAID software the newest is Rapid Storage Technology
If needed you may use EASEUS Partition Recovery should you need to.
Moving to Vista or 7 will not solve the problem of a partition being bigger then 2TB unless you use GPT from the start when setting up a partition.
2. Re: ICH9R Raid5 malfunction?Isurfer Feb 4, 2011 6:17 AM (in response to PeterUK)
I thought that the problem might be that I had two partitions on the volume, so after the migration
the driver wouldn't know how to distribute the new drive/space between them. So I decided to delete
the volume and reconfigure. Prior to that, I decided it would be a good chance to upgrade to RST.
Upgrade was successful, so I used it to configure my new volume, utilizing the full space of 4x1TB drives.
At that point I - finally - got the error message that the contoller's BIOS does not support volumes over
2TB, so I configured one volume utilizing only half of the total space. It is currently at 17% of the initialization
phase (about 3 hours have passed) so it's going to be a lengthy process. Since I anticipate no problems,
I will configure the remaining 50% in the same way.
I will post an update, but it will be well through the weekend.
Thank you for your feedback.

Frontend control socket
Release 0.19 of MythTV introduced the ability to control mythfrontend via a socket interface. Commands are sent and replies are received in text mode, there is no fancy xml interface or anything - it is meant to be able to be used via something as simple as telnet.
This feature has to be enabled in the general settings of the frontend setup. The default port is 6546, so after restarting mythfrontend, you can test by telnetting to localhost on port 6546 ("telnet localhost 6546"). For a list of supported commands, type "help". For help on a specific command, type "help COMMAND" (where COMMAND is the name of the command like "help jump").
There can be only one socket connection to mythfrontend at a time, if a new connection is opened, the old one will be automatically closed.
See also MythTV docs on Telnet socket
[source: Changeset 8688 ]
Here is an example of how you can use the telnet port to run the MythTV frontend.

The Men in Red extended their unbeaten streak to six games across all competitions on Wednesday night (4-0-2), coming behind to defeat the Colorado Rapids 2-1. Columbus notched a big win against Montreal last time out and face difficult trips to Kansas City and LA after the Saturday's home game against the Fire.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective in this big match for both teams (LIVE Saturday 6:30pm CT on My50).
The turnover game - both teams will look to pressure each other's back line
In the Crew's most recent loss to the Union earlier this month, the Ohio team had major problems retaining possession when put under pressure. The Union forwards, especially Jack McInerny, did not allow Columbus time on the ball and the pressure led to Philly getting on the score sheet.
Johnson, Rolfe Preview Columbus
As we know, players like Mike Magee, Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko are excellent at putting pressure on the opponent's defense and this will be important on Saturday night.
On the other side of the coin, the Crew like to deploy the high pressure tactic too, with former Fire player Dominic Oduro often hunting down defenders and not allowing them time on the ball.
READ: Berry recovers from blunder with winning goal vs. Rapids
In the Crew's 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact last weekend, Oduro stole the ball from a Montreal defender before slotting home the Crew's second goal in the 22nd minute.
Fire defender Austin Berry had an unfortunate incident in Wednesday's match against Colorado where he was stripped of the ball allowing rookie Deshorn Brown to give Colorado the lead.
In a game that is expected to be very tight, the team making the least mental mistakes could end up on top.
The battle on the left side - Duka/Lindpere vs Anor
Columbus winger Bernardo Anor won many plaudits for his performance against Montreal last week on his first start back from a horrible ACL injury.
The left-footed Venezuelan started on the right against the Impact and will be looking to build on that performance against the Fire Saturday night.
On the same side of the field, coach Frank Klopas will be choosing between former Crew winger Dilly Duka and veteran Joel Lindpere for the start.
Dan and Kevin Talk Crew
Duka played his best game for the Men in Red against Colorado on Wednesday night as he was able to get in 1v1 situations on numerous occasions and earned the penalty that equalized the match.
Lindpere has yet to fully live up to the high expectations put on him by Fire fans after his move from New York this offseason.
With the team in the middle of a 4 games in 11 day stretch, a start for Lindpere seems plausible.
Getting back into the stating XI in a huge Eastern Conference showdown could be the perfect motivation for Lindpere to put in a man of the match performance on Saturday night.
Dominic Oduro - A striker with a point to prove
With seven goals to his name this season, Dominic Oduro has landed on his feet in Columbus after his trade away from the Windy City. Oduro also seems to have developed into a more complete striker since his move.
The speedy Ghanaian's patience on the ball has resulted in him making better decisions and linking with his midfielders more instead of going alone and trying to score.
What has impressed me about Oduro since the trade is his move away from a reliance on his right foot to a player that is comfortable shooting with both.
READ: The Influence of Jeff Larentowicz
Fire fans will remember Oduro's hot and cold finishing but on his day, he can be unstoppable. The Fire have held Oduro scoreless in two matches already this season but at home, the Ghanaian will be aiming to prove a point and it is up to the Fire defenders to keep him quiet on Saturday night.
Prediction: 2-1 Fire with a brace from midfielder Alex

When English speakers hear they usually respond with either or was borrowed from German, where it literally means "health"; it was formed by a combination of ("healthy") and ("-hood"). Wishing a person good health when they sneezed was traditionally believed to forestall the illness that a sneeze often portends. had a similar purpose, albeit with more divine weight to the well-wishing. It was once believed that the soul could exit the body during a sneeze, causing ill health, so folks said "God bless you" to ward off this danger. at one time, also served as a toast when drinking (much like its English counterpart, "to your health"), but this usage is now mostly obsolete.

Streib, H. (2001). Faith Development Theory Revisited
UKIES Marine Suede Pump mJLMPPV
Erstmals wird religiöse Entwicklung mit dem Faith-Development-Interview in einem Längsschnitts-Design kulturvergleichend untersucht. Forschungsteams in Chattanooga, Tennessee und in Bielefeld arbeiten zusammen in der empirischen Forschung, in deren Mittelpunkt das wiederholte Interview mit dem Faith-Development-Interview steht. Lesen Sie mehr...
Der Forschungsschwerpunkt auf religiösen Stilen und Schemata geht auf die theoretische und methodologische Auseinandersetzung H.Streibs mit der Faith Development Theory wie sie James W. Fowler (1981; 1996) vorgelegt hat, zurück. Dies hat zu einem Modell der religiösen Stile und Schemata geführt, an dem theoretisch, methodologisch und empirisch weitergearbeitet wird. Aufgaben in diesem Forschungsbereich sind: die vorliegende empirische Forschung und theoretische Kritik zu dokumentieren sowie Forschungsmethoden und Instrumente für die empirische Untersuchung religiöser (Stil-) Entwicklung weiterzuentwickeln.
An der faith development theory wurde und wird unter Einbeziehung der neueren Diskussion der Entwicklungspsychologie weitergearbeitet. Als Faktoren der Entwicklung von Religiosität werden dabei folgende Dimensionen besonders beachtet und zur Geltung gebracht:
Diese Perspektiven führen zur Wahrnehmung größerer Komplexität und Varianz der religiösen Entwicklung und zur Verabschiedung vom Modell einer Entwicklungslogik, wie diese vor allem L. Kohlberg vertreten hat, und stattdessen zu einem offeneren, heuristischen Konzept von religiöser Stile und Schemata. Dazu liegen folgende Veröffentlichungen vor:
Some reviewers have not liked this restaurant. We found the staff to be friendly and efficient. The German influenced food was good with plenty of choices. Very reasonably priced.

Hello everyone,
and welcome to something we haven't had in a loooong time… a "What is the difference"-special. And today's special is especially special , because we'll look at the differences between the different German words for different .different
anders, verschieden and unterschiedlichanders, verschieden unterschiedlich
How does that sound to you, studio cat? "Mrrreeeeow!" Studio cat approves. Perfect. Andbefore I confuse you more, let's dive right in into the world of differences
The difference between those words and knowing when to use which is a problem for many learners. The good news is that there is a very very clear distinction. At least between anders and the other two. So here it comes… imagine you have two sets of something, A and B.anders
Anders is about comparing items of one set with items of another, an external set. It is external.Anders
verschieden and unterschiedlich are aboutcomparing items within one set. They are internal.verschieden
And that makes total sense when you look at the origin of the words. Ander s (and of course also andere/n/m/r/s) as well as the English other come from theaturbo old root that was about…the other one. Us vs them kind of thing. Unterschiedlich and verschieden on the other hand belong to the family of shed . Now, this family is super crazy and you won't believe what words belong to it. But we'll actually do a whole post on it so for today, let's say that the ones with shit in them are about discerning, telling apart . Oh… I mean the ones with schied … crap… I think I just spoiled something. So, anders is about items of one set vs items of another. The schied-words are about discerning, differentiating within a set. And because now everybody is like "Uhm… okay… can we do an example?" we'll do an example :). Take the following sentence.

HPV is the most common STD in the United States, and certain strains of the virus are the cause of most cervical cancer cases. HPV has also been linked to more rare cancers of the anus, penis, and vulva. Researchers hope that by learning how HPV spreads, they can better understand how to prevent it. The grant will fund a study that could help direct use of a promising new HPV vaccine, said Anna Giuliano, a program leader at Moffitt.
The study seeks to enroll 3,000 healthy men ages 18-44: 1,000 men in Tampa, 1,000 in Mexico and 1,000 in Brazil. The Latin American countries were selected because they have the highest rates of late-stage cervical cancer in the world. Researchers hope the study will give them a better idea of what percentage of men get HPV, how often, how long the infection takes to clear, and whether men develop immunity to the virus.
Study participants will be followed for four years, with testing every six months. Those who test positive for HPV would not be treated because no such treatment exists. For more information on the trial, telephone 813-745-6996.

Residents of Hillcrest Road and Meadowbrook Avenue, expecting to discuss their issues with the proposed subdivision of 179 Hillcrest Road, were angered Thursday night when representatives for the project failed to appear before the Land Use Planning and Zoning committee as planned.
Attorney Carl Primavera and land planner Richard Collier, Jr., who just last month presented their plan to subdivide the 100,000 square foot property, gave notice they would not attend the meeting only five minutes before it began, LUPZ co-chair Ned Mitinger said.
Without both parties present the committee could take no action, but welcomed comments from the neighbors who attended with their attorney Paul Toner. Most of those comments addressed neighbors' surprise at the last minute no-show.
LUPZ co-chair Larry McEwen told the neighbors he had received emails from Primavera twice on Thursday leading up to the meeting, saying the lawyer remains interested in meeting with the neighbors to discuss their concerns.
That assurance did little to satisfy the neighbors, who accused Primavera of unfair tactics by canceling his appearance at the last minute.
"Talk about unfair," one neighbor said. All agreed that Primavera never contacted them to arrange a meeting.
"Both parties have had an opportunity meet," McEwen said, and he encouraged them to do so, saying everyone had something to gain.
"It's their project," one neighbor said, "shouldn't they reach out to us?"
"It's important that you both talk to each other," said committee member Joyce Lenhardt.
Attorney Toner addressed the committee, saying: "If the applicant had changed his plans or he wants to revise his plans, we look forward to seeing them sooner rather than later so an intelligent review can be made." Toner also agreed to reach out to Primavera and arrange a meeting between the neighbors and the applicants.
The applicants need a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment to allow the subdivision – once created, both parcels could only access Hillcrest Avenue along a narrow strip of shared land, something the zoning code does not allow. Mitinger told the committee and the neighbors that the applicant's received a continuance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment and that no new hearing has been scheduled.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: January 30, 2003
DOE Schedules Fourth Annual Teacher Recruitment Event for World Languages Teachers
The New Jersey Department of Education will host a statewide recruitment event in March to help local school districts hire qualified World Languages teachers. This is the fourth year the DOE will sponsor the event.
World Languages Teacher Recruitment Day will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 8th, at East Brunswick High School in East Brunswick, Middlesex County. Directions are available at: www.hs.ebruns.k12.nj.us/hs/Directions.html or by calling (732) 613-6900 and pressing "1."
"Emphasis on teaching another language beginning in the elementary grades conforms to research that says younger students learn new languages faster and more effectively," said Commissioner of Education William L. Librera. "We know that schools are working hard to hire staff to teach world languages in order to meet their responsibilities under the Core Curriculum Content Standards. Through this event, we hope to link world languages teacher candidates with school districts."
The World Languages event seeks to attract both college graduates who speak a language other than English, and native speakers of a non-English language who enjoy working with children. Candidates may either hold or be eligible to hold New Jersey teacher certification through New Jerseys alternate route or new conditional certification.
To be eligible for a conditional certificate, candidates must hold a bachelors degree from a regionally accredited college or university and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5.
Candidates must also possess oral linguistic competency in a language as demonstrated by receiving a minimum score of "Advanced-Low" on the Oral Proficiency Interview, a nationally recognized test developed by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
For renewal of the certificate, candidates must complete a three-semester hour course in world languages methodology within 12 months of obtaining the initial certificate. They must also demonstrate progress towards meeting all state requirements for standard licensure within a five-year period.
World Languages Teacher Recruitment Day is hosted by the Office of Academic and Professional Standards and supported by the departments teacher recruitment efforts in the Office of Innovative Programs. The initiative was first established in 2000 to help recruit new talent to the teaching profession, especially in areas of teacher shortage, such as world languages.
TheWorld Languages program is one of the many initiatives Governor James E. McGreevey, Commissioner of Education William L. Librera and the Department of Education encourage and support for both teacher growth and innovative lessons for students in the state.
Specifically, the program is an example of the DOE mission statement: "The New Jersey Department of Education will provide leadership for a superior education by utilizing multiple and diverse paths to success for all children in New Jersey.
On Sept. 17th, 2002, the Governor and Commissioner hosted an Educational Summit in Trenton, where they outlined the Administrations 21-point plan for educational reform. The 21-point plan is available on the Department of Educations website: www.state.nj.us/education.
The four key components of the 21-point plan are: involving teachers at all levels of decision making; creating a more professional environment for teachers; better preparing teachers and administrators for the challenges they face in their classroom and in their schools and supporting them once they begin their work; and continued emphasis on recognizing and celebrating excellence.

Here's one stock hitting a 52-week high and one finding a 52-week low today:
New High: Boston Beer Co.
Shares of Boston Beer Co. (NYSE:SAM) — maker of Sam Adams brand beers — gained more than 14% by mid-morning on an improved earnings forecast. The company now expects a full-year EPS between $4.30 and $4.60, up from previous estimates of $3.80 to $4.20. One reason for the good news was an increase in shipment volume.
The stock is now trading for more than $130, besting a previous 52-week high of $127 in early July. Shares have climbed a total of nearly 29% over the last year.
The company reports earnings in February and is coming off an impressive beat of 19 cents. If revenue and earnings grow for the full-year as expected, that will make it the tenth consecutive year of improvement.
New Low: Cereplast
Shares of Cereplast (NASDAQ:CERP) — a company that develops bio-based resins — hit a 52-week low thanks to this morning's double-digit losses. The 17% drop came after the announcement that the company is voluntarily delisting from the Nasdaq. Shares are now trading for around 4 cents vs. a 52-week high of $1.25.
Cereplast took a similar plunge after sales came in at $477,000 last quarter, compared to $5.4 million a year ago.
As of this writing, Alyssa Oursler did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Brian was great with assessing the problem, fixing it and then cleaning up. I had 2 separate clogs (main in basement and 2nd floor bathtub) that he was able to fix. Overall, services were priced on the higher side, but money well spent for the A+ service provided. Recommended.

We had excellent service from Good Tidings! Our air conditioner broke during the hottest week of the year. We had another company come in, charge us, and tell us nothing was wrong but it was still broken. Thankfully, Good Tidings came in and within an hour was able to tell us exactly what was wrong and fix our air conditioner! They did an excellent job explaining everything and talking us through reasonable pricing options. We'll definitely be using them again!

Excellent same day air conditioner service in the middle of a heat wave! They found an electrician to help with the problem who was also reasonably priced and had the air on by the end of the night! Steven stayed till 8 pm to b sure the air was fixed and running correctly

France, Turkey Vow to Press Ahead on Syria
The U.S. Decision Elicited A Range of Responses Internationally; Israelis Criticize Delay
President Barack Obama's decision to seek congressional approval before taking military action in Syria elicited a range of responses internationally, with backers like France and Turkey expressing teeth-gritting determination to push ahead but others—notably Israel-questioning the American leader's resolve.
The knock-on effect of Mr. Obama's move was clear in France, which is an ally in the expected military mission. French President François Hollandespoke to Mr. Obama by phone after the announcement and reiterated that Paris...

Martin Van Ruin might borrow its name from President Martin Van Buren--whose critics dubbed him "Van Ruin" since he presided over a long, painful economic recession--but frontman Derek Nelson, 27, insists the band's music is rooted in the here and now.
The Wicker Park band's debut, "Every Man a King," is also a folk-rock monster worthy of its majestic title, swinging from prettier acoustic laments ("Give Me Flowers (While I'm Living)") to stormier numbers that conjure images of Neil Young shredding alongside Crazy Horse ("Wilderness"). All of these facets and more will be on full display when the seven-piece performs Feb. 21 at the Hideout.
Van Buren was the President during a long period of recession where there were problems with the banks and unemployment numbers were high. That all sounds vaguely familiar…
As unique as times can feel, I guess as a country we've been through these things before, and it's good to remember that.
This idea that history repeats itself surfaces more explicitly on a song like "American Moon."
Yeah. That's really what it's about. I don't know the specific things that led me to write that song, but my grandpa was a WWII vet, and you see what's happening abroad now and you can help but think we're always sending 18-year-olds off [to war].
Are you a history buff?
I would say most of what I read — and it's funny that you called me out on that — but most of what I read day-to-day is non-fiction. I like reading about history, and I think that bleeds into what I write. Right now I'm reading "The Bully Pulpit" [by Doris Kearns Goodwin], which is a book about Teddy Roosevelt and [William] Taft. Going back to a time that, again, it sounds kind of like now. Huge companies were conglomerating and people were wondering, "What's left for us?" You can't read a book like that and not draw parallels to now.
You seem particularly drawn to the idea of the presidency. Have you ever had political aspirations of your own?
[Laughs] No, none of that.
There seem to be a number of characters on this record who are searching for a new life or cutting ties with the past.
Yeah, and I think that's a product of where we are as a band and where I am just being my age. You start nearing your 30s and asking questions like, "What am I doing?" Then you start thinking about your youth, and however long it might last. It wasn't a decision. It's just what came out on the page.
You also released a solo record in January. How did you know whether a song was a better fit on the Derek Nelson album or with Martin Van Ruin?
I was always in two different mindsets when I was writing songs. One was more introspective and solo songwriter-y, and the other felt like a foundation for something bigger. There was definitely a sound that was in all of our heads with this project. We have that folk underpinning, but we also love noise and we love ambitiousness and we love songs that have a lot of energy. Whenever I was writing solo stuff it felt like I was just trying to get thoughts off my chest about my family or whatever it might have been. With [Van Ruin] there was a wider worldview.
On "Wilderness" you rail about broken promises. How good are you at keeping a promise?
[Laughs] I don't know. I guess that's up to the people in my life and my loved ones. And, there you go, there's that history again. I read somewhere where somebody called America, "a walk into the wilderness," and I liked that image: just sort of walking in the wilderness and that being our story.
There's a line on the record where you sing, "The cemetery is filled with invincible men." Have you ever had that moment in your own life where you felt unbeatable?
[Laughs] Probably not. I think you can get knocked on your ass pretty easily in those times you do feel like that.
Martin Van Ruin, 10 p.m. Feb. 21 at Hideout. $15.

Adam Morgan provided another reason why Jesse Biddle's expected climb through the minor leagues to an eventual spot in the Phillies' starting rotation is so intriguing.
The two men were teammates last season at single-A Clearwater and there is a panoramic photograph just outside the clubhouse that captures the players and the crowd celebrating immediately after the Phillies won the 2008 World Series. The same photo hangs just outside the clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park.
"Every time we walked past it, he'd tell me how he is in that picture," Morgan said last week during the Phillies' prospect training seminar. "You can see the back of his head and he's in a Phillies jacket. He would always show us where he was at in the crowd. You can really see him."
Biddle, the team's 2010 first-round draft choice, was a 17-year-old high school junior at Germantown Friends School when the Phillies won the World Series. This season, his fourth in professional baseball, he is slated to open the season at double-A Reading.
That's where Morgan, a third-round draft choice in 2011, finished last season. Although he is not as physically imposing or highly touted as Biddle, the 6-foot-1 Morgan has opened the Phillies' eyes with his performance to date. He went a combined 8-11 with a 3.35 ERA at Clearwater and Reading last season after getting a better grasp on how to throw a changeup and adding a few miles per hour to his fastball.
His promotion from Clearwater to Reading in the middle of the season took him by surprise and made him realize how close he was getting to the big leagues.
"I never thought that I'd get to double-A so fast, but I wasn't going to let that intimidate me," Morgan said. "I took it stride by stride and just relied on what got me there."
Morgan, a lefthander, did not leave Alabama with all that impressive of a resume. The Marietta, Ga. native had a 4.64 ERA his junior season when he was drafted and a 6.18 ERA in 18 starts as a sophomore.
"At Alabama, I had a lot of peaks and valleys," he said. "I would always try to correct something when I was going bad."
Morgan, 22, said developing a changeup and a consistent routine has helped him become a better pitcher.
"Developing the changeup was huge, but really knowing what worked for me … and staying disciplined to that routine even when I didn't have a good game was even more important," Morgan said. "Sticking with my routine no matter what really helped me out."
Morgan said Clearwater pitching coach David Lundquist was vital to his success last season, but he also kept in contact with Lance Carter, his first professional pitching coach at Williamsport in 2011. Carter was the pitching coach at the University of South Florida in Tampa last year.
"He could me once every few weeks and ask me how I was doing," Morgan said. "He'd keep me on track. He'd say, 'You're having a great year, but don't slack off and think you're some hot shot. Stay humble.' That's what I have prided myself on."
It's possible Morgan and Biddle could be teammates at the start of this season at Reading. It's also possible they'll eventually be teammates in Philadelphia, where Biddle will get to point out again exactly where he is among the crowd in the photograph that celebrates the Phillies' 2008 World Series title.

As all Seiko movements, this one is constructed for reliability and durability. Its Diashock shock protection guarantees enough resistance against shocks, and its ball-bearing rotor with excenter gives enough and reliably power and even works after more than twenty years without service as smooth as on the first day. This movement, which uses 21 jewels, features the familiar five functions: hour, minute, center second and day and weekday with fast correction mechanism. The weekday (only available in one language) can be advanced by setting the time forth and back a few hours, and the day indication can be advanced by pressing the crown. The crown has got only two positions, where in the first position, it is function-less, thus meaning, that the watch cannot be hand wound.
