"Although we started through an initiative by student veterans themselves, I feel blessed by the commitment I've received from all levels of the University. This allows me, in turn, to better support our veteran students."
Director of the OSVCP, Karen McNeil
Watson Creates a Space for Student Veterans at Brown
They are sometimes called “the other 1 percent.” That refers to the roughly 1 percent of Americans who serve in the military, and the 99 percent who do not. This shrinking percentage of veterans, the result of a country perpetually at war and of an all-volunteer military, has become a big social problem. It’s now more difficult than ever for veterans and non-veterans to understand and appreciate each other’s experiences and opinions.
This disparity between veteran and non-veteran is even greater on college campuses. Brown has 11 undergraduates who served in the military, or 0.18% of the undergraduate student body. (Meet them here.) This poses a challenge for a school that prizes diversity of thought and background among its students.
And so, in response to the Corporation’s directive in 2012, Brown created the Office of Student Veterans and Commissioning Programs (OSVCP), whose purpose is to “coordinate and direct services that support veterans studying at Brown.” The OSVCP serves as a resource for all US military officer commissioning programs, as well as for student veterans, whether of the US military or military service in other countries.
“Increasing outreach to veteran and active duty prospective students is one of my top priorities,” says Karen McNeil, the OSVCP’s program director. "Although we started through an initiative by student veterans themselves, I feel blessed by the commitment I've received from all levels of the University. This allows me, in turn, to better support our veteran students."
Then, about a year ago, a group of student veterans at Brown met with Richard Locke, director of the Watson Institute, to brainstorm how to better address veterans’ issues and integrate veterans into Brown’s campus, socially and academically. They discussed several initiatives, and landed on the idea of opening up a study space for veterans at Watson.
"Welcoming student veterans to Watson was an easy decision. Here is a group of talented, experienced students who have first-hand experience with some of the core themes of the Institute – security, governance, and development,” says Locke. “Watson is committed to hosting events and discussions on the most important issues of our times. Embracing students with diverse views and experiences is central to our goal of promoting these kinds of conversations on campus."
Matthew Ricci ’15, a political science concentrator, is a student coordinator with the OSVCP, and has been working on veterans’ issues at Brown for several years. Joining forces with the Watson Institute, he says, “was a natural fit,” since veterans have experience in international affairs and offer a unique perspective that faculty and students could benefit from.
While the study space, located on the first floor of the Institute, is designated specifically for veterans, Ricci thinks of it as serving as “community place to coalesce and share ideas, not just among veterans but among other students at Watson.” It will be a place to hold lectures, discussions, and collaborations on projects with professors and fellow students to generate dialogue.
The OSVCP had been exploring ways to integrate veterans on campus and allow them to share their experiences in ways that are productive to veterans and non-veteran students alike, “so we jumped at the chance,” says Ricci. “We feel as though student veterans have a plethora of insights that we'd like to share, and we'd like to hear from and work with traditional students.”
This new study space can help address the disconnect between those who have served in the military and those who have not. Student veterans, Ricci explains, sometimes feel that their experiences are not considered valuable, or are misunderstood, and so they don’t contribute where they may have insight. While Ricci says he’s had nothing but constructive experiences at Brown, he says he hears from fellow veterans who find that misconceptions, on the part of both veterans and non-veterans, stymie understanding and intellectual growth. The military can be a contentious topic, Ricci admits, but he says that veterans are “comfortable about talking about their experiences and want to share them, and this is a space where that can happen.”
One particular misperception that Ricci comes across is the belief that all veterans take part in combat or are raring to fight. Ricci, who did not face combat, served in a submarine in the Navy. During his service, he saw first hand the high level of dedication, focus, and training that went into military work. He witnessed how “people are devoting their lives to something,” he says, and found that in the military, “they want to do their job and do it well.”
This study space initiative also addresses a core tenet of the liberal arts education: that learning is fostered through diverse perspectives and open dialogue. “I don't want to be in an echo chamber,” Ricci says, and “it's incumbent upon us to be informed by all available resources.”
The space at Watson isn’t just for the benefit of student veterans; traditional students now have the chance to learn from their colleagues. “A lot of the students here are going to go forth and do good work in the world during their lives,” says Ricci. He wants to convey veterans’ experiences to his fellow undergraduates, so when they are in leadership position and making decisions, they have all the information they need.
Talking to veterans can be especially productive for those who wish to influence foreign policy and military strategies. Ricci believes that things would be better if “policy makers, researchers, and politicians were to have more exposure to military experience.” Bridging the gap between veteran and non-veteran is the answer, he argues, and it might even decrease the country’s engagement in conflict if they work together to “bring the values of Brown and their insight into making a more enlightened military.”

PRESIDENT Thabo Mbeki faced fierce criticism yesterday from George Soros, the financier and respected figure in development economics, over South Africa's "quiet diplomacy" towards Zimbabwe.
|Critical: George Soros said Mr Mugabe had 'poisoned the neighbourhood'|
Mr Soros, a friend of Mr Mbeki and member of a regional investment committee set up by the South African president, became the most high-profile public figure so far to say Mr Mbeki is wrong.
While Mr Mbeki has been criticised privately by diplomats and other regional figures, Mr Soros's comments indicated that the president was under pressure to reassess his attitude towards President Robert Mugabe.
Britain has been at the forefront of opposition to Mr Mugabe's policy of ignoring the Zimbabwean courts and encouraging black workers to seize illegally land owned by white farmers.
Mr Mbeki's criticism has been much more muted. He argued that maintaining links with Mr Mugabe is more valuable. But Mr Soros took issue with the president's policy. He said: "Mugabe has poisoned the neighbourhood. This is one point where I am actually critical of the policy followed by President Mbeki.
"It is doing damage to South Africa, yet South Africa continues to help Mugabe stay in power. I was shocked to find out that the South African electricity utility reduced the cost of electricity to Zimbabwe by 25 per cent, while it is going up here in South Africa.
"And it has also allowed Zimbabwe to run up big arrears. I understand the position that Mr Mbeki felt that, through constructive engagement, he would be able to persuade Mugabe to modify his behaviour. I give him full credit for having tried, but clearly it has not succeeded."
Mr Soros, who runs hedge funds that generate billions by predicting moves in exchange rates, is crucial to shoring up South Africa's image on international financial markets. While former President Nelson Mandela has publicly stated it is time for President Mugabe to go, Mr Mbeki has been more restrained.

Four of My Favorite East End Egg Sandwiches Right Now
PM Dining Critic Hal B. Klein's recent craving for egg sandwiches leads to a round-up of outstanding options.
I’m pretty into egg sandwiches right now. It might be that I’m hotly anticipating tomato sandwich season and looking for something to bridge the gap until then. Possibly it’s a dose of nostalgia. Maybe it’s simply because egg sandwiches are fabulous. I hadn’t planned on eating so many egg sandwiches in a fortnight that I’d write an egg sandwich round-up, but there are four that I think you’ll want to get, too.
This isn’t by any means an exhaustive list, though all the sandwiches mentioned would undoubtedly earn a spot on a best breakfast sandwich list if that were ever a thing I’d write.
De Fer Coffee & Tea: The Elegant One
As cliché as it sounds, sometimes the best inventions are the ones that come from necessity. Such is the case for the elegant egg sandwich at De Fer Coffee & Tea. When Matt and Vanessa Marietti opened their chic, comfortable cafe in the former 21st Street Coffee in the Strip in December 2017, and they had to make do with limited kitchen space and equipment when building their slender food menu. “How do we make a good tasting sandwich in a small space and make a lot of them, too? How do we layer texture and umami?” Matt Marietti says about the process.
It’s a good thing they already had an ace in hand, having connected with Richard Levkoy of Willow Bend English Muffins while the Mariettis were nurturing De Fer at farmers markets prior to opening in the Strip (this year, they expanded with new locations at The Highline and The Riviera).
Because they only have small ovens to work with, the eggs, with a bit of shaved Parmesan for added umami, are baked into a neat little square. The De Fer egg sandwich is rounded out with crispy pancetta, smoked cheddar from Troyer Farms, marinated, sun-dried tomatoes from Strip District neighbor Stamoolis Brothers Co. and housemade garlic chili aioli, which bolsters the moisture content and adds a mild spiciness. All of it makes for a crunchy and savory egg sandwich that, along with a cup of skillfully made coffee and a good book, is an excellent way to start the day particularly if you decide to hang for a bit in De Fer’s airy main room. If you’re looking for something on the go, this also is an egg sandwich that, by design, travels well.

Pear and the Pickle: Have It Your Way
I love the customizability of Pear and the Pickle’s egg sandwich. You can go straightforward with a fried Primrose Farm egg and cheese on a soft buttery Kaiser roll at Alexis Tragos and Bobby Stockard’s Troy Hill gem if you’d like to. But there are so many possibilities of where to take it. There are fundamental questions such as which of the seven cheeses should I pick, and do I want to add bacon or sausage? And in a pre-coffee haze, you might even get deeper: Do pickles belong on a breakfast sandwich? What about avocado? When I had mine the other day, I went with sausage, egg and American cheese accompanied by greens, onions and garlic aioli. Made this way, it’s a substantial sandwich, one that makes for a hearty breakfast and also works as a lunchtime sandwich. The egg was fried hard, which I didn’t mind as it provided a nice textural contrast to the crunch of the greens and onions and the softness of the roll and sausage. It also made the sandwich perfectly portable — the restaurant’s cozy dining room is yet to reopen, but I was able to enjoy eating it while walking around the block and not making too much of a mess of myself.

The Thyme Machine: A New Classic
New in town is The Thyme Machine, a spin-off of Bloomfield’s Bitter Ends Luncheonette. Longtime Bitter Ends chef Ryan Chavara is at the helm, and his initial menu of three egg sandwiches has me singing high praises. I tried two of them this week, and both were fabulous (bacon, egg and cheese, as well as what look to be some marvelous pop-tarts will have to wait for another day). As is the case with Bitter Ends, the sandwiches are built with outstanding ingredients, most of which are locally grown, and housemade bread.
I dig the bitter, sweet and just-a-little-spicy balance in Chavara’s broccolini, egg and cheese sandwich, which features roasted broccolini from Bitter Ends Farm Co., deeply caramelized onions, cherry pepper aioli and American cheese. It sure is nice to have a vegetable-packed sandwich for breakfast, too. Likewise, the fried mortadella sandwich hits that sweet intersection of crisp, unctuous and bright, with nicely griddled pistachio mortadella, marinated peppers and provolone. I appreciated Chavara’s egg cookery in both sandwiches, too — just shy of full-dippy, the yolks were loose enough to coat the other components but not so runny as to get all over the place. For now, The Thyme Machine is stationed outside of Bitter Ends on Thursday and Friday mornings and at tina’s on Saturday and Sunday evenings, but be sure to check its Instagram for schedule and menu updates.
Reed&Co: Vegan to the Max
I crushed a Reed&Co. breakfast wrap a few weeks ago while reporting for my forthcoming story on Pittsburgh’s vegan and vegetarian restaurants. The grab-and-go Lawrenecville eatery’s breakfast sandwich is utterly delicious, and it’s been nudging my heartstrings since I tried it. Here’s what I love about the sandwich: although it eats just like any egg sandwich you might find, it’s entirely plant-based. Reed&Co chef Justin Crimone says that for the third iteration of the establishment’s breakfast sandwich, he aimed to craft a perfectly balanced product that anyone — vegan or not — can enjoy for what it is.
It’ll get into this more in my September issue story, but it’s pretty remarkable how plant-based ingredients such as the ones Crimone uses offer similar flavor and mouthfeel as animal-based ones in applications like his egg sandwich. JUST eggs, made from mung beans, have an equivalent texture to a medium-soft scramble. Crimone blends Impossible Foods beef into a crumbly, chorizo-spiced sausage that adds a lovely richness. Violife cheddar, made with coconut oil, vegetable starches and ground sunflower seeds, melts and tastes nearly like dairy-based Cheddar cheese. Crimome rounds out his wrap with red pepper sauce and pickled onions, and it’s all stuffed in a flour tortilla which is griddled for maximum crunch.

Desert Regional Medical Center Named Advanced Primary Stroke Center
Palm Springs – Dec. 21, 2010 – Desert Regional Medical Center has been named an Advanced Primary Stroke Center by the nation’s leading hospital accrediting body, The Joint Commission.
“This certification says that our hospital believes in excellence,” said Neurologist Reza Salari-Namin, MD. “By having the certified stroke program, we are able to diagnose and provide a comprehensive treatment package to restore the patient’s quality of life.”
To receive the Advanced Stroke Center designation, Desert Regional received an on-site evaluation and demonstrated that it has met national standards for care of stroke patients. In November, Desert Regional Medical Center opened a specialized Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit (ICU) which focuses greater attention on patients with stroke and other neurological conditions.
Stroke is the nation’s fourth leading cause of death, and a significant cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States, with more than 4 million stroke survivors alive today.

As many of you have already been inundated with the marketing blitz for LEGO’s collaboration with Universal Music, which is basically a kid friendly version of Tik Tok.
One of the more interesting aspects of the theme would definitely be the cacophony of bizarre minifigure characters that are being released under their “Bandmates” label.
There are a total of twelve characters to collect in this wave which technically makes this a collectible minifigure series (CMF) but the truly remarkable detail about it is that it comes in a solid cardboard box instead of the usual soft plastic wrapper we’ve been accustomed to.
LEGO has always been promoting sustainability throughout their entire production process and one of the aspects that they have grappled with was the reliance on single use plastics, ie. Collectible Minifigure Packaging.
We have had round table discussions with LEGO on the topic of sustainability and one of the ways was to transition the packaging for polybags and minifigures to paper. It has already been introduced with the numbered bags for selected sets.
Switching out to a solid cardboard box would decrease our reliance on plastic and cardboard is recyclable so it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch that LEGO would adopt this new form of packaging for future collectible minifigure series.
As you can see from the LEGO VIDIYO Bandmates box above, each row contains twelve boxes which should yield a full set each. It’s physical volume does not seem too far off from what is currently available for CMF series 21 too.
This is completely speculation on my part and I don’t have a magic crystal ball to predict LEGO’s future releases so take this with a bucket of salted caramel ice cream.
But if this does actually happen, I do believe we are pressed for another way to identify what are in those blind boxes when the next series launches.

When to use epoxy resin? This is a common question asked mainly by people. You can use it for several purposes, such as casting to create 3-D objects. In addition, epoxy resin has a long shelf life and is easily painted after it cures. You can also use fast hardeners to speed up or slow down the curing time of the resin. If you are unsure when to use epoxy resin, here are some reasons you should consider using it.
Casting resin is used to create dimensional objects.
There are several advantages of casting resin when creating dimensional objects. You can use a syringe to pour the resin into the mold. Additionally, casting resin is safer than most artistic formulations. This is because it is composed of reasonably reactive chemicals. However, you should still treat the resin with respect and be aware of the safety precautions. Read product safety data sheets, and practice standard workshop safety precautions.
Another advantage of using casting resin is that it is versatile, allowing you to create parts with almost any mechanical property. This process can produce parts with virtually any mechanical property, from rock-hard polyurethane to ultra-light syntactic foams. The following are some tips and instructions for using casting resin. But remember, you must always follow the manufacturer’s instructions before using a resin.
Fast hardeners are used to accelerate or slow down the curing time of the epoxy resin.
The epoxy resin cures at a specific temperature, and increasing this temperature can shorten the cure time by ten percent. If the temperature is too cold, the epoxy coating will run or sag. The hardener added to the resin must be weighed carefully to achieve the correct proportions for the desired cure time. Varying the hardener amount will not change the cure time but may significantly reduce the physical properties of the mixture.
Typical epoxy applications require an initial cure time of eight to eight hours. In contrast, longer cure times are possible with slow hardeners. To determine the cure time of an epoxy mixture, read its Technical Data Sheet. In addition, the onset of a cure depends on the amount of hardener used. For example, WEST SYSTEM 205 Fast Hardener has a faster cure time than WEST SYSTEM 206 Slow Hardener. Therefore, while a slow hardener can give you more working time, it can also contribute to a slower curing time.
It can be painted afterward.
The smooth surface of epoxy resin makes it a good base for painting. You can apply primer before painting to make sure the paint sticks. Three types of primer are available, each of which is better suited for certain paint colors. For light-colored paints, choose white, while dark-colored paints should use a black or grey primer. If you are planning to mix colors, use a grey primer. However, follow the instructions for your chosen color before applying primer.
After applying the resin, you should clean the surface thoroughly to remove the leftovers. The best way to clean the resin is to use warm water and soap. Using a toothbrush will be more effective for difficult areas. You can also use acrylic primer for painting the resin, which helps it adhere to the paint and prevents it from peeling off over time. Once the paint is dry, you can paint the finished piece.
It has a long shelf life.
If you’re looking for an epoxy sealant, you’ve probably wondered about its shelf life. The good news is that epoxy resins have a relatively long shelf life. The shelf life of this product starts on the date of manufacture. However, you should make sure you’re not over-purchasing. First, store it in a dark, well-ventilated area to extend its shelf life. Store it at a temperature above 10C to avoid damage. If you want to use the epoxy sealant sooner, you’ll need to store it in an airtight plastic container.
It’s important to remember that the shelf life of epoxy resin varies for different brands. The shelf life of a primary brand of epoxy resin is usually around 12 months. However, some products have a much longer shelf life. For example, a product that’s six months old could still last two or three years after it was opened. In addition to the shelf life, you should also look at the product’s expiration date. If the color is changing, the epoxy has passed its expiration date.

These vulgar songs, though faded, were not really old. Nevertheless, to Master Nathaniel, they were the oldest songs in existence – sung by the Morning Stars when all the world was young. For they were freighted with his childhood, and brought the memory, or, rather, the tang, the scent, of the solemn innocent world of children, a world sans archness, sans humour, sans vulgarity, where they had sounded as pure and silvery as a shepherd’s pipe. Where the little charmer with her puce bow, and the scheming hussy who had cocked her blue eye had been own sisters to the pretty fantastic ladies of the nursery rhymes, like them walking always to the accompaniment of tinkling bells and living on frangipane and sillabubs of peaches and cream; and whose gestures were stylised and actions preposterous –nonsense actions that needed no explanation. While mothers-in-law, shrewish wives, falling in love – they were just pretty words like brightly-coloured beads, strung together without meaning.

Is the day gone, or did it ever exist, when professional players were willing to take less money -- even if "less" money is a pretty good living -- to stay with an organization where the likelihood of winning is better than whatever options are out there?
The New England Patriots traded cornerback Ellis Hobbs to the Eagles on Day 2 of the draft for a pair of fifth-round picks, apparently because the team and the cornerback weren't going to come to an agreement about a contract extension. That's a two-way street, of course. The Pats made their decision and Hobbs made his, and was honest about it.
If there is any team that, over the last decade, might expect that players would be willing to stay put for a few dollars less, it is the Patriots. Doesn't work that way any more, though, as Hobbs told the Boston Herald.
"There are a lot of ones that are coming up that are going to need to be paid," Hobbs said. "...There is a lot of guys out there who are not going to take the (lesser) dollar for the win. Guys really want to get what they deserve and each one of those guys that are coming up in the next year or so deserve every dollar they are going to get."
We tend to look through the wrong end of the binoculars here in Philadelphia occasionally, believing that the Eagles' way of doing business is unique. They sign good players to contracts that give them security when they are young and then don't see any need to redo those deals when the players outplay the contracts.
As Joe Banner explained last week, Sheldon Brown was happy to take the money when it was offered, getting financial security for life, and the back end of the bargain is that his signature is still on that piece of paper.
The Eagles have been a successful, winning franchise under Andy Reid, and there is every reason to expect that will continue. With the right luck, they could be Super Bowl champions before the reign of Donovan McBlog comes to an end.
That doesn't keep the players from moving on if they can get a better deal, however, something that goes for Brown, Lito Sheppard, and goes for Brian Dawkins, too, for that matter. Same goes in New England.
Hobbs is here and will probably be a productive player, but he's here because New England wasn't willing to give him what he wanted and shipped him out of town before that became a bigger problem.
"At the end of the day, we're all dollar signs," Hobbs told Sporting News Radio.
And, at the end of the day, that is how the players view the teams, too.


Aluminum resists quite well the effect of air and water and is therefore not prone to corrosion, and is therefore often used instead of steel. The corrosion resistance of aluminum is based on the protective oxide layer formed on the surface. The surface of the aluminum therefore oxidizes, but the oxide layer formed on the surface protects the lower layers from corrosion. Often aluminum is alloyed with other metals, for example magnesium. The good thermal conductivity of aluminum is utilized, especially in the electronics industry. Aluminum’s electrical conductivity is also very good.

SONICS: Same old song
* The Sonics, who must fend off elimination tonight in Game 4, are in familiar territory.
By John Wallingford
MINNEAPOLIS -- If any team could find comfort in such a bleak situation, it would have to be the Seattle SuperSonics.
The Sonics, are skidding down an unforgiving precipice to another stunning first-round debacle. They need a victory tonight in Game 4 of their Western Conference series against the Minnesota Timberwolves to sustain their season.
That the Sonics should find themselves in such a precarious situation would be unthinkable if they were another team from another city. The Wolves, given up for dead after suffering a 25-point defeat in last Friday's Game 1 at Seattle, have turned the series on its head with back-to-back victories. Those victories have come against a team Minnesota had beaten just once in 30 games prior to last Sunday.
But the Sonics have been here before. In fact, they have been in the same unenviable win-or-else position of facing a two-to-one first-round deficit in four of the past six years. Each time, they have been the favorite team.
And in the previous three series, their lone victory in the first three games came by a margin of at least 24 points.
"When you have a blowout like we did in Game 1, you fall into an attitude of complacency, like, 'This is going to be a walk. This is going to be easy,' " said Sam Perkins, who has experienced the last six playoffs with Seattle. "I try to keep telling these guys that it's not going to be as easy as Game 1. We are finding that out now."
Even Perkins, who has grown accustomed to the Sonics' life-on-the-edge personality, seems a little stunned this time around.
"I didn't think it was going to be this hard," Perkins said. "We have to try not to get over-excited. We know one win is a long way from accomplishing what we want in June."
All of which means a season that held so much promise not so long ago, could come to a sudden end tonight (6:30) at Minnesota's Target Center. A loss could also spell the end of George Karl's seven-year playoff run as head coach of the Sonics. Karl's contract expires on July 1 and his future in Seattle has been the subject of considerable speculation.
The Sonics have survived such unfavorable conditions in the past. Last year, they survived Rex Chapman's infamous shot to win Game 4 in Phoenix, then hammered the Suns 116-92 when the teams returned to Seattle for Game 5.
"I hate to rely on last year's comeback or comebacks of previous years, but we've been here before with this team," Perkins said. "We have enough pride and confidence and poise and we're not going to give up. We're not trying to get home as quickly as we can."
Not only have the Sonics fallen to the edge of the playoff abyss, they have been pushed there by a supposedly inferior team. And that team has been riddled by injuries, including the loss of top-scorer Tom Gugliotta.
No problem, say the Timberwolves, who have beaten the Sonics with just seven players. Led by a pair of 21-year-olds, they have displayed the resilience of a veteran team. Every time Seattle knocks one of them down, it seems, another one pops up to toss a little misery at the proud Sonics. Head coach Flip Saunders has compared them to a prize fighter who keeps getting up off of the canvas and turning the tables on his tormentor.
The punch-drunk Sonics can't disagree.
"When we make a run, they come back and hit a big shot, hit a big three or get a loose ball," said Nate McMillan, who could see his long Sonic career end tonight. "That gives them more confidence, and that takes some of the energy out of us."
Only the most clairvoyant roundball observer might have been able to predict the Timberwolves' uprising.
"No one could have anticipated that we would be in this situation," Hersey Hawkins said. "But we're here. No sense in anybody hanging their heads or getting depressed. We have to stay together as a unit and we have to come out and play good basketball. That's the bottom line."
It's all come upon them with bewildering suddenness. Six days ago, Vin Baker exploded onto the playoff stage and the Sonics bombed the Wolves, 108-83. On Tuesday, as he sat by himself in a dreary post-game locker room, shock and worry were etched on his face.
"I knew there was going to be a time in this playoff run where we were going to have ups and downs," Baker said. "I didn't expect it to be this early. But I'm not going to let the adversity get me down. I was really relaxed after the first game, now I'm seeing the other end of the spectrum."
The only thing the fractured Sonics have going for them is their experience with such predicaments. Against Utah in 1993 and Phoenix last year, Seattle won Game 4 on the road and returned home to take the series in Game 5.
"What we should have learned is that we shouldn't want to be here that often," Karl said. "We're here, and a lot of the guys here have won this game. As I said to them, 'You win tomorrow night, it has a snowball effect.' "
And the embattled Karl can only hope that the Sonics, who spent most of the season gearing themselves for a return trip to the NBA Finals, can catch a ride on that snowball.
"That's the nature of the NBA," Karl said. "You're not that far from being good, and you're not that far from being bad."

LOOKING FOR ANSWERS:
Coach George Karl, guard Gary Payton and the rest of the SuperSonic gang will try to stay alive tonight in Minneapolis. If the Sonics stop the Timberwolves, the fifth and deciding game will be played Saturday in Seattle.


A lot of my friends are out in Vegas right now, eating crayons, snapping pictures, harassing waitresses at the Tilted Kilt, and trying to keep Pauly from getting medieval on the ESPN dickweeds. They’re also turning out some absolutely amazing writing. Here’s a sample from the Bukowski of poker blogging, the good Dr. himself.
We do our best under the circumstances. Check out PokerStars Blog. Otis put together a superteam of writers, journalists, and reporters for their blog. And we're kicking ass without the same access as exclusive media outlets. And we're 1/10 of the size of them.Corporate America corrupted poker. The WSOP has been tainted like the slutty girl on your freshman hall dorm with a severe case of the clap. But we're horny losers with self-esteem issues and fuck her anyway. The thrill, the rush, and the high far outweighs the long term consequences.Someday all of this insanity is going to end. But for now, I'm caught up in the maelstrom of the WSOP for a few more days.
So go check out the incredible work that Pauly, CJ, April, Wil, Michalski, Johnny, Otis, CC and so many more are doing out there.
These folks are out there breathing recycled air and eating stale sandwiches that they had to beat up a vidiot to get so you don’t have to. And if you’ve missed Change100’s running commentary on the fashions of the WSOP, then you’re just an idiot.

I checked my gti for a recall notice...
I checked my GTI for a recall notice (suction Pump). When I picked up the car after the work was completed, there was a problem with a cap that kept coming loose and fuel was leaking. I reported this to the staff and they addressed the issue immediately and a replacement part had to be ordered.The mechanic explained the issue and the fact it could not be fixed without a replacement part. I was immediately provided with a rental car and the part was replaced the following morning, the car was detailed to remove any residual fumes and they even filled my tank!Problems occur but it is how the issue is managed that matters to me and the team clearly showed they valued me as a customer and provided a first rate response to my issue.

Colin Bruce Anthes’ path from Humber has led him to theatre and film work and multiple cities. But as the 2009 Theatre Arts – Performance grad told us via email, his passion for ensemble work remains constant.
As a director/artistic director of an ensemble company, I am about to present a workshop production of September Songs, an original devised piece examining the role of education in the age of neoliberalism. This project has emerged out of months of collective research, discussion, and physical creation, and I’m beyond proud of everyone involved. As an actor, I’m currently in rehearsals for Stolen Theatre Collective’s production of Daniel MacIvor’s House, which has been a dream role of mine ever since I saw MacIvor perform it during my first year of college. I’ll also be directing the Christmas bash for the Niagara Symphony Orchestra; it’s a special treat to jam with a full professional symphony.
The heart of my work has been as artistic director of Twitches & Itches Theatre, a physical ensemble company in St. Catharines producing a steady output of productions, workshops, and community arts projects. We started small as can be, but have grown to receive a dozen arts council grants, full houses in performing arts centres, and were recently honoured to receive a St. Catharines Arts Award as a collective. With my actor cap on, I’ve been privileged to work with over a dozen theatre and film companies in a handful of different cities, and these days I do a great deal of ambitious material with Stolen Theatre Collective. Through a very organic process, I’ve been surprised to find myself teaching everyone from young children with special needs to graduating university students. I’m lucky to have a number of collaborators who take my career in unexpected directions, a journey I’ve found deeply rewarding.
My training at Humber College is at the centre of all my work. The force of a physical ensemble training, creating, and growing together had a profound impact on my life both artistically and personally. I made a risky choice to try and build a new ensemble upon these methodologies in my home region of Niagara. The surprising success of that endeavour speaks as much to the values of the Humber program as it does to my own abilities. Since graduating from the department, I’ve had many other exemplary teachers and mentors, but I’m proud to say my artistic soul was moulded by the rigorous studio work at Humber. Several years later I still scour my school notes, and continue to learn from all I was given in that very special program.

A rounded black headband is the coolest fall hair accessory. Word It-girls
You probably already know this. There is a discreet, quiet hair accessory which is rapidly coming back into fashion and which next autumn-winter will satisfy the feminine desires of all cool girls who believe in aesthetic minimalism. Have you guessed it? Let’s talk about the rounded black headband. The accessory itself This is certainly nothing newhas been in circulation since at least the 16th century, but the credit for bringing it back into fashion in recent times goes to Prada, which made it one of the protagonists of its spring/summer 2019 fashion show (without taking anything away from the stylistic visionary calling Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, who has always been a devoted follower). We already saw a lot of soft black headbands last May at the 2023 Met Gala, but now various signs point to them being everywhere next season.
Celebrities wear it like this
For example, during the recent New York Fashion Week spring-summer 2024, Sofia Ritchie Grange was spotted wearing a “evening” version on the streets of the Big Apple with a rounded black headband. Jennifer Behr on her hair in a ponytail, which looked quite cute, while earlier in the summer Jennifer Lawrence used the same accessory (and the same brand) to hold back her long, flowing locks while promoting her film Girlfriend for rent. Again, last June, Kendall Jenner she completed the look with a rounded black headband. French girl consists of a beige minidress, black ballet flats and cognac-colored Hermès Birkin shoes, which she showed off while on vacation in Paris.
In all three cases, the effect is the same: elevating the image to a level of sophistication that smacks of elegance** bon chic, bon genre**, aesthetics that have something special classicalperhaps even nostalgic, but with a subtle undertone of cool that immediately identifies with today’s It-girl.

Year 5 visit military museum
On Monday 13th October, Year 5 visited the Keep Military Museum in Dorchester as part of their English and History work based on the centenary of World War One. The weather was rainy and dank but this did not stop the pupils' excitement. They were met by the curator and taken to the education room where they were shown a huge array of photos and war memorabilia.
Various members of the classes were called up to be dressed in World War One uniforms. They soon realised that the soldiers had to carry so much weight it was almost impossible to walk. The children also tried on a French, German and British helmet. They decided that the German helmet was the best design as they were stronger and had a front peak as well as a neck piece to protect the soldiers. The gasps as they learned about trench warfare were audible and the children all said they had “learned a lot of new things”.
After an opportunity to examine grenades, rifles and bayonets, the children were then shown through to the galleries. A highlight of the afternoon's activities was exploring a mock-up of the trenches and a visit to the Keep's roof. The children also saw cavalry uniforms, an array of medals and a further selection of weapons used in the war.
The visit was truly a day of history coming to life and the whole year group thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Time to Take a Break ... it's March Break!
It's almost March Break and I know some of us are still nervous – thinking it will again be the March Break that never ends. However, things are looking up and there is some light at the end of this pandemic tunnel.
So let's dust off those usual March Break plans and see what we can do to make the week special for the whole family.
Although there still may be some restrictions and rules in place depending on where you live, but we have included some ideas to help you escape a little and make this March Break one to remember (for the right reasons).
How about a road trip? Who doesn't love the feeling of packing up a few things, stopping for a coffee and getting on the road without a nailed down plan. Sometimes it is fun to re-explore your province or a neighbouring city/town.
Maybe rent an Air BnB in cottage country where there are a number of bike trails and areas to hike that might be outside your usual stomping grounds. Also, you don't even have to book for the whole week. You can take a couple days to visit a new place and experience new restaurants, markets and local shopping.
A place to consider is the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. It is a great family weekend getaway that’s a 2.5-hour drive from Toronto The area has everything you need for a fun-filled family staycation in Ontario, which offers a lot of outdoor excursions and camping opportunities without as many crowds.
If winter activities are more your speed, and you want to take advantage of the break before the weather fully warms up, consider driving a little further north. There are many ski resorts that would still be open and have amenities like outdoor rinks and obviously hills to get some late winter activities in such as sledding, snowboarding or skiing.
Silent Lake Provincial Park has some incredible cross country ski and hiking trails with some of the most beautiful lookout points along the way.
Other areas to explore include Niagara Falls, which remains to be one of the best places you can enjoy March Break in Ontario. Beyond catching a glimpse of this mesmerizing natural attraction, you can enjoy nature with a walk or bike ride on the Niagara River Recreation Trail or Niagara Glen.
With travelling opening up and people feeling more comfortable getting on a plane and going a bit further, perhaps you are in search of some warmth and sun. Travelling the US now is less complex so maybe this is the year you take that trip to Florida for some Disney Magic or Nashville for some music inspiration.
If you prefer to take a break from the kids (we won't judge you) consider a week long vacay to see the grandparents and then you and your partner can escape for some R&R to recharge before the hustle and bustle of spring begin
A quick jaunt to the California coast is a great option. Visit the city life in San Francisco and then take a road trip to Napa and Sonoma for some slower paced (wine filled) adventure.
If you prefer to stay closer to home or inside for that matter, there are a lot of activities you can plan for to keep your family entertained.
I am not much of a camper, but inside camping I can do. How about an impromptu family sleepover in the living room. Set up a tent or fort and fill it with multiple items such as pillows and blankets. Get snacks and games and fall asleep while watching your favourite movies. Sometimes it is ok for the kids to have a late night and sleep in (gets you some alone time in the morning!).
If food is your jam, perhaps invite the kids/ or as a couple you can try new things in the kitchen. Plan out dinners for the week and have fun as a family preparing new things to try and perhaps order in as well from some local businesses. There are some simple recipes here to try and it might be fun to see your kids lead the charge.
Overall - don't put a lot of pressure on yourself to fill the break with the 'perfect' plan. Just go with it. Be sure to get outside when you can, and embrace the lazy days indoors too. For more ideas, we have additional indoor and outdoor activities you can refer to as well.
At the OLVE, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. This site offers health, fitness tips and is designed for educational purposes only. The OLVE assumes no liability for any of the activities listed above. We remind parents of children to follow safety and hygiene rules as best as they can. We also recommend that an adult supervises all activities in the kitchen, including any use of stove tops, ovens, grills, etc. Please do not eat any of the craft recipes on this site.

The British Horseracing Authority's suspensions effectively rule out all 15 of Godolphin's injected horses for the entire campaign with just four and a half weeks left of the season on their return.
The racing body confirmed the punishment and explained the length of the ban:
The BHA has today informed Godolphin, the owners of the horses in question, that the 15 horses known to have been administered with either Ethylestranol or Stanozolol have been suspended from running in races for a period of six months, with effect from Tuesday, April 9, 2013.
The length of suspension reflects the period beyond which the BHA is confident that the horses in question can have derived no performance related benefit from the administration of these prohibited substances.
Certify, which ended 2012 unbeaten in four runs, was one of seven horses to test positive for Ethylestranol while Opinion Poll was one of four whose blood was found to contain Stanozolol.

We all suffer from anxiety at many points in our life. It may be to a different degree depending on the cause of anxiety or on the person dealing with the anxiety. It is an unwanted but unavoidable feeling. Some do well to equate anxiety with irrational fears. In this post I am going to discuss one technique which works quite effectively. But before doing that let’s discuss a human folly: loss aversion.
In Sway: The irresistible pull of irrational behaviour by Rom & Ori Brafman, I was exposed to a fascinating human folly. The best way to explain this is through an example:
Prof. Bazerman’s Harvard MBA class starts with an auction. The prize is a $20 note. Rules: everyone can bid, increment is $1 and the second-highest bidder pays as well. Thus, in short, the second highest bidder is the loser.
As you would expect till about a bid of $16 many students participate in the auction but then by $18 there are only two people remaining, highest and the second-highest. A winner and a loser.
Till now students were in the auction to win but at this point, no one wants to lose. So the bid quickly spirals up beyond $20. As the prices climbs higher, the rest of the students roar with laughter.
From a rational perspective, the obvious decision would be for the bidders to accept their losses and stop the auction before it spins even further out of control. But it’s easier said than done. Students are pulled by both the momentum of the auction and the looming loss if they back down. The forces in turn feed each other – commitment to a chosen path inspires additional bids, driving the price up, making the potential loss loom even larger.
So the students continue bidding to a record of $204. All these years that Bazerman has conducted this auction he has never lost a penny.
The lesson? We, humans, are susceptible to care more about losses. Had the students stopped bidding at $21, the winner would have lost $1 and the loser $20. But in the case of the record of $204, the winner lost $184 and the loser $203.
As an observer, this seems completely irrational to us but at the time the student’s weren’t focusing on the prize, instead they were focusing on the loss: the shame of losing a simple bid. If you think about this for a second, you will realise that this human folly of loss aversion manifests itself in our everyday lives all the time.
One of the suggested ways of overcoming this irrational sway is to look at our situation from a larger perspective. If the students had stepped back for a moment and thought hard about where the bid is headed, they would have realised that it’s not something worth pursuing.
Of course doing this is hard because at that moment all you can think about is the loss. But as the Brafman brothers explain:
Our natural tendency to avoid the pain of loss is most likely to distort our thinking when we place too much importance on short-term goals. When we adopt the long view, on the other hand, immediate potential losses don’t seem as menacing.
So you may wonder what is this to do with anxiety. Well, we’ll get to that in a moment.
Imagine that you are driving to meet someone very important. The time and place for the meeting had been fixed quite some time in advance. When you are about 30 minutes from the place your car breaks down. A punctured tyre. You look at the watch and realise you have an hour before the meeting. All charged up you start fixing your car so that you can finish soon and drive to the meeting in time. It takes you 25 minutes to fix the tyre. Now you have 35 minutes to the meeting and you are about 30 minutes away. Although 5 spare minutes is plenty of time, all the time while driving you will be anxious. You will think about all kinds of situations that may never happen, what if you reach late? will he find your excuse of a punctured tyre too trivial? what would make for a substantial excuse? will your first impression ruin it all? will you lose that business deal? how will you answer your boss?
All through this process you are anxious. With the clock moving forward, your anxiety only increases. But what is it that you are thinking about really? You are thinking about a loss. You are worried about losing that impression which you could have made or that business deal that you could have got or your value in front of your boss because of a failed deal.
The problem is that your chances of failure have increased as compared to your chances of success. But because the human tendency to avoid losses, you will magnify the chances of failure. This will soon put you in the same loop as the students who were bidding for the $20 note. You will get more anxious thinking about the loss, that will make you think about greater losses which will in turn make you more anxious. In the process you may run over traffic lights or miss out on the correct turn you were supposed to make on the highway. Your potential losses will only increase.
The technique I am going to suggest to dealing with anxiety is simple: Think about gains and not the losses. Think about success and not the failure. Think about the positives and not the negatives.
And to aide you in the process, you can use the Brafman brothers suggestion to help you think about the positives: step back and look at the larger picture.
If you calmed down (step back) and did not worry about the loss of the business deal (bigger picture) then you will be able to focus on the driving. It could mean that you may reach there in 25 minutes, instead of 30 minutes, a good 10 minutes in advance (positive). It will get you that good first impression (gain), the business deal and your boss’ praises (success). The potential gains may not be as high as the potential losses but stepping back will help you think about the gains. And, more importantly, thinking about the gains will certainly make it less likely to causes the losses. Where as thinking about the losses will only make it more likely cause the losses.
This technique can be applied to any situation in which you feel anxious. Worried about what will happen if you don’t get the grade you need to? Think about what will happen if you do get a better grade. Worried about what will happen if you don’t get paid this week? Well, what if you get paid double this week. Worried about what will happen if you did not finish the project in time? Think about what praises you may get if you finish it before time.
Loss aversion is a strong force, overcoming that may just become easier if you jump to do the exact opposite: gain seeking.

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's cross country team was picked to finish fifth in the 2011 America East Preseason Coaches' Poll that was released Wednesday by the league office.
Defending champion Boston University was selected to repeat in 2011 as the Terriers collected eight first-place votes for 64 total points, while Albany received the other top vote to earn the second slot with 56 points. Maine followed with 44 points to claim the third spot, edging out Binghamton in fourth with 42 points. Following New Hampshire's 34 points, Stony Brook (29), UMBC (25), Vermont (21) and Hartford (9) rounded out the final four spots.
New Hampshire finished ninth at the America East Championships last season and turned in a 29th-place finish at the NCAA Northeast Regional.
The Wildcats feature a balanced mix of veteran returners to pave the way for another successful campaign in 2011, and leading the pack this fall will be a pair of local products in seniors Daniel DeCrescenzo (New Milford, Conn.) and Alexander Beaulieu (Merrimack, N.H.), who will both serve as captains. DeCrescenzo is coming off an impressive season on the track, highlighted by a runner-up performance in the 5,000m at the America East Indoor Championships. Beaulieau turned in a strong showing at the 2010 New England Championships as he finished 53rd overall to pace the Wildcats in the 318-runner field.
The 'Cats will also count on junior Kent Harlow (Burnt Hills, N.Y.), graduate student and captain Andrew Dionne (Westerly, R.I.) and sophomore Joseph Jourdain (Hudson, N.H.) for experience and depth this fall. Harlow and Dionne were the team's top two finishers at the America East Championships, placing 35th and 38th, respectively. Jourdain submitted an impressive rookie campaign as he paced the squad at the NCAA Northeast Regional and continued to shine on the track, where he competed in the 5,000m at the USATF Junior National Championships.
New Hampshire will look to get a boost from a talented class of incoming freshmen, including Sam Gagnon (Hooksett, N.H.) and Jeff Moretti (Guilford, Conn.). On the track, Gagnon won the state title in the 3,200m and went on to place sixth in the event at the New England meet in a personal best time of 9:13, while Moretti finished ninth at the New England Cross Country Championships last fall with a personal best of 9:24 in the 3,200m and 4:20 in the mile.
The Wildcats open the 2011 season on Saturday, Sept. 3 when they host Providence and Maine at 11:30 a.m.

In-form Norwich recovered from an early deficit to beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Carrow Road and move up to fourth in the Sky Bet Championship table.
Villa made an excellent start to Dean Smith’s second match in charge and went ahead after 19 minutes when James Chester nodded home a corner via a slight deflection off marker Tom Trybull.
But hopes of a second successive win under the new head coach disappeared in the second half as Jordan Rhodes struck twice for the impressive hosts.
The striker produced a fine header from a corner to level early in the second period and wrapped up the points with 18 minutes left with a well-taken second.
Manager Daniel Farke was forced into a late change to his starting line-up, with Alex Tettey’s wife having given birth on the eve of the game.
Tom Trybull came in to plug the gap in midfield as the Canaries looked to build on Saturday’s impressive 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest that lifted the visitors into the play-off places.
However, it was Villa who made the brighter start, with Tammy Abraham almost converting an Ahmed Elmohamady cross in the opening stages.
A Norwich side with just one defeat in 10 games soon found their rhythm however and Todd Cantwell put a decent chance over the crossbar after a cross from fellow youngster Jamal Lewis had been headed into his path.
It was against the run of play when Villa opened the scoring on 19 minutes. An in-swinging corner from the right by the recalled Conor Hourihane found the head of Chester on the edge of the six-yard box and the Wales international powered home.
Although the hosts were having more of the ball, Villa came within inches of making it 2-0 just after the half-hour mark, with Abraham sending a low shot against the upright and Max Aarons needing to make a last-ditch block to prevent Albert Adomah from firing home the rebound.
Hourihane also went close just after the break, sending a curling effort just wide, but Villa then suffered two injury setbacks, with Abraham and Adomah both having to be replaced, and their evening took another turn for the worse on 54 minutes when Norwich equalised.
This time it was the visitors who were unable to defend a corner and Rhodes took full advantage of Emi Buendia’s excellent delivery to head home his first home goal for the Canaries, and his sixth of the season in total.
Defender Timm Klose, the two-goal hero against Forest, then worked himself a good shooting position but was well off target but it was not long before the hosts got their noses in front.
Marco Stiepermann sent in a low cross from the left after a slick Norwich move and Rhodes was on hand to convert the ball past wrong-footed keeper Orjan Nyland to seal all three points.

First Time Buyer
House prices rise 11% in a year – Nationwide
The lender said the annual pace of price growth edged up to 11.1 per cent in May up from 10.9 per cent the previous month.
However, on a monthly basis house prices increased by just 0.7 per cent.
Although this marks the 13th consecutive month of price increases, it represents a slowdown compared to the 1.2 per cent monthly increase in April.
Nationwide said there were “tentative signs” that activity may be starting to moderate following the introduction of tougher lending criteria.
Mortgage approvals in April – the month the tighter affordability rules were introduced – were around 17 per cent below January’s high.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s Chief Economist, said: it was “too early to say” whether this was indicative of a cooling trend in the wider market.
“The slowdown may partly be the result of the introduction of Mortgage Market Review (MMR) measures, which may take a few months to bed down,” he said.
“The underlying pace of activity should become more evident as we move through the summer months and the impact of MMR becomes clearer.
“However, with mortgage rates close to all-time lows and labour market conditions continuing to improve, underlying demand for homes is likely to remain strong.”
The report said first-time buyers were playing an “increasingly important role in the housing market”.
They accounted for 48 per cent of house purchase activity in March, a record high well above the long run average of 38 per cent.
However, Gardner said the modest numbers involved so far in the government’s Help to Buy scheme suggests it is unlikely to be the main factor behind the recent pickup in the wider housing market.
Some 12,853 Help to Buy mortgages were completed in the first three months of the year, accounting for around 9 per cent of total mortgage completions over the period.
In London, which has recorded the fastest pace of house growth in recent quarters, Help to Buy accounted for around 4 per cent of mortgage completions in the first quarter, the lowest proportion among the UK regions.
“The evidence suggests that higher priced areas have been seeing the largest percentage increases in house prices, especially in London and the South East, but the majority of Help to Buy loans have been on transactions where the property values are below the national average,” Gardner said.

Made this for my family to go with cornish hens and wild rice. They found it "interesting", good but not great. The best part is the toasted nuts - they go very well with the sweet sauce and add a nice crunch. I didn't have rose water, so I threw a couple of cardamom pods in the water when I brought it to a boil. If I made this dish again, I would definitely chop up the apricots.

Virtually every item of produce in your local Whole Foods was created by human intervention, not nature. The corn we buy is vastly different than the natural plant man developed it from, teosinte. The same goes for beets, carrots, corn, beans & potatoes, to name just a few. The originals are either inedible, poisonous or so poorly suited to agriculture we'd all starve to death if farmers didn't grow the modified versions.
Over time, we turned grey wolves into french poodles. Given enough time Monsanto could likely have bred plants that are immune to Round-Up as well. But a business plan that requires a few hundred years of selective breeding and forced mutation to have a good chance of obtaining and stabilizing the desired genetic profile wouldn't be a sustainable business plan in modern society. Plus, with modern methods there's less risk the resulting plant will have unfavorable genes like the one that makes wild almonds astringent tasting and poisonous instead of non-toxic and delicious like our selectively bred versions.

Birds return to Seyfe Lake
KIRŞEHİR – Anadolu AgencyThe Seyfe Lake Nature Reserve, which dries up and turns into dust of cloud during summer, has received a rush of by migratory birds like flamingos, ruddy shelduck and cranes as its water level increased.
Seyfe Lake, located in the central Anatolian province of Kırşehir’s Mucur district, annual drought has been blamed on the mismanagement of the area’s water sources in agriculture practices and the population’s usage.
Almost annually, the lake completely dries up in summer months, as clouds of dust appear. However, with the recent rainfalls, the water level filled 60 percent in the lake and thousands of birds have begun to come to the lake again.
Seyfe Lake Ecology Association President Ömer Çetiner said the bird paradise was completely last year.
“Now the water level increased and we can see thousands of flamingos. We have hundreds of local and other birds. We hope that this beauty will continue. The measures to prevent the lake from drying up should be implemented without interruption. Since the land is so poor, it doesn’t receive or give water. Even a little rainfall helps its water level increase,” he said.
Çetiner said measures should be taken for the continuation of bird migration to the lake, adding, “Alternative sources of water should be found and drinking water should not be taken from the Seyfe Basin. Wild watering system should be banned and drip watering systems should be encouraged.”

POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A vintage arms show is giving South Florida collectors a chance to show off their military memorabilia.
Collectors from around the world are expected to pour into South Florida for the Pompano Beach Vintage Arms and Military Show, which exhibits collectibles from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War.
“Our aim is to preserve history as much as possible,” said Steve Shalaby of the Pompano Beach Vintage Arms and Militia Show. “The position of history that we namely seek to preserve is that which relates to military history. We feel that this is a portion of the past that needs to be honored, that needs to be cherished.”
Local enthusiasts gave 7News a sneak preview of what attendees can expect to see. “I’ve amassed a great collection, from newspapers to guns to swords and everything in between,” said one man.
The three-day convention will feature a fully-restored Vietnam-era helicopter, ready for visitors to hop into, as well as a pair of well-known World War II veterans. Carl Muscarello, the kissing sailor from the iconic V-J Day “Life” magazine cover, and Lt. Col. Leo Gray, one of the last surviving Tuskeegee Airmen, will be signing autographs and taking pictures with the crowd.
“Women called me up, wanted to marry me,” said Muscarello.
When asked about the true identity of the mystery woman in the iconic photograph, Muscarello revealed some little-known details. “There was Edith Shade, the original nurse who was identified by [photographer Alfred] Eisenstaedt. She died about two or three years ago,” he said. “She’s the one who identified me. In fact, nurse number two, who claimed she was the one, she died last week.”
The show will give veterans like Muscarello and Gray a chance to share their incredible stories with the crowd. “It’s history, and what’s so great is you can hold something tangible in your hand that connects today with World War II,” said Pat Regis of the Pompano Beach Vintage Arms and Militia Show. “World War II vets are going by the wayside, and it’s an opportunity to, you know, talk to someone who was there and did so much.”
The Pompano Beach Vintage Arms and Military Show runs from Sept. 23 to 25 at the Pompano Beach Elks Lodge at 700 N. E. 10th St. For more information, click here.

France says deal with Iran must be robust, guarantee no atomic bomb
LAUSANNE, Switzerland March 21 (Reuters) - France's foreign minister said on Saturday that his country wanted an agreement over Iran's nuclear programme that was sufficiently robust to guarantee that Tehran could not acquire an atomic bomb.
"France wants an agreement, but a robust one that really guarantees that Iran can have access to civilian nuclear power, but not the atomic bomb," Laurent Fabius told Europe 1 radio.
Iran and six world powers suspended negotiations on a nuclear agreement on Friday and are set to meet again next week to break a deadlock over sensitive atomic research and lifting of sanctions. France has been demanding more stringent restrictions on the Iranians under any deal than the other Western delegations, officials said. (Reporting By John Irish; Editing by Pravin Char)

Voltalia has made its first venture into battery storage in the UK, completing the let of a 33MW facility near Bristol from Electric Land.
Through a joint venture with the Low Carbon Alliance, Electric Land has completed the letting of phase 1 of the Avonmoth Energy Park to Voltalia. The park was leased for 25 years, and has planning permissions, grid connection and a capacity market contract for the battery storage facility.
French renewable company Voltalia already has 1.2GW in operation and construction of solar and wind in the UK, along with a pipeline of 7.8GW that includes battery storage it said. This totals €5 billion in secured revenues (2019-2044).
The company has been increasingly active in the UK throughout 2020, after securing planning permission for a 40MW solar farm with battery storage in Dorset in January, the company’s first move in the UK market for a number of years.
Avonmouth Energy Park has hit its 2nd phase of marketing, with a 50MW of shovel-ready Reserve Power Generation Facility, extendable to 65MW available. It is Electric Land’s largest project to date, and the company’s fifth successful development.
The energy infrastructure land promotion and investment vehicle that forms part of the Foundation Property & Capital Group now has 20 sites, 12 leased and already delivering over 165MW of a consented 286MW of generation and storage. Over the next year Electric Land is developing a pipeline of a further 247MW on individual sites from less than 1 acre to over 100 acres.
Ben Lansman, group managing director said that the company had focused on niches where it can use it’s “rare expertise in managing small, complex projects to generate a secure income return whilst focusing on creating significant capital value” since its launch in 2011.
“We take early stage development risk and actively manage projects which ultimately deliver long, ultra-secure, index-linked income from infrastructure ground rents. In these challenging times it is unusual to have a portfolio delivering 100% of contracted income to our shareholders where we can continue to re-invest and leverage our capital gains into a rapidly growing asset class operated by utility companies crying out for more renewable energy capacity.”

Calhoun County Courthouse - Grantsville WV
The Works Progress Administration built this courthouse in Grantsville between 1941 and 1942.
The building is stone construction with an entrance marked by a portico and a taller central portion. The massing of the rear facade is minimized by a gable roof and the facade is built of similar stone work.
Of an interesting side note, Grantsville is named for General and President US Grant who is a distant cousin of FDR with the common ancestor of Philip Delano of 17th century Massachusetts.


Manchester United manager Casey Stoney is set to step down from her role as manager at the end of the current season.
Stoney has been in charge of Man Utd since 2018 when the team was first founded, having earned promotion from the FA Women's Championship to the Women's Super League in 2018-19.
She led Man Utd to a fourth-place finish in their second season of the Women’s Super League this campaign, finishing just short of a Champions League spot.
What was said?
“It has been an honour to lead the women’s team at this great club and this has been an incredibly tough decision," Stoney said in a statement. "Having come on board to start the team from scratch, then winning the Women’s Championship in our first season, we have now successfully established the team as a force in the Women’s Super League.
"I have loved leading this group and I am proud of what we have achieved together. However, after a difficult season with disruption caused by the pandemic, I now feel the time is right to take some time away and for someone else to come in and lead the team on the next stage of its journey.
"I want to thank the club, all of the fantastic staff, the fans, and most of all the players, for the incredible experience we have shared over the past three years.”
Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who is also set to step away in the coming months, hailed Stoney's impact on the club for her role in establishing Man Utd as a legitimate contender in the WSL.
“Casey has been a driving force behind the success of our Women’s team since she joined the club in 2018," Woodward said. "She has been an inspiration to her players and staff, to everyone at the club, and to the fans.
"Everyone at Manchester United thanks her for her unstinting hard work and dedication and pays tribute to her achievements. She will always be part of the Manchester United family.”
The club confirmed that it is currently in the process of searching for a new head coach with an appointment to come "in due course".
“Manchester United is completely committed to its Women’s team and to building on the legacy of Casey’s achievements as we move forwards," said Football Director John Murtough. “With the recent historic first game at Old Trafford and the impact the team has made in the Women’s Super League, the future is bright.
"While we will be sad to see Casey leave, the team and the operation will continue to go from strength to strength.”
Man Utd remain in contention to win the FA Cup and will play Leicester City on Sunday in their fifth-round match.
