Remains of four more Orang Asli expected to be retrieved, says Kelantan CPO
KOTA BARU (Bernama): Police will bring out four more bodies of Orang Asli from the Bateq tribe in Kampung Kuala Koh on Sunday (June 16), if the weather permits.
Kelantan police chief Comm Datuk Hasanuddin Hassan said a police forensics team aided by 12 Orang Asli men will enter the jungle area for the recovery operation and that the bodies are expected to be brought out by evening.
However, he said this depended on the weather and the travelling distance.
"If the weather is good, we will proceed. But if it rains heavily, then the operation to bring out the bodies will be postponed.
"The journey to the location of the four bodies will take four or five hours. If we use a boat, it will take us two hours but it will be difficult if it rains," he told reporters after the Kelantan police contingent headquarters (IPK) monthly gathering here.
He explained that it would be risky for the search team if it rained heavily, as there was a danger of decayed tree branches falling on them, for example.
He added that they would also have to take into account the Bateq tribe's customs and not take them out "just like that".
Comm Hasanuddin said the identities of the deceased would need verification.
"We found bone fragments and identities can only be confirmed through DNA tests," he said.
Comm Hasanuddin added police would record statements from family members of the victims after all the bodies were brought out.
He said some of the family members were most likely to have migrated and some could even have died (during migration) and buried in the area.
Comm Hasanuddin added that Kampung Kuala Koh would remain as a "red zone" (restricted) area until further notice.
It was reported that 14 people from the village died of mysterious circumstances.
The cause or causes of the deaths have yet to be ascertained but pneumonia is suspected as victims were reportedly suffering from breathing difficulties before they died. – Bernama

Written by J Rohnny• December 20, 2022• 6:20 am• EU Investment
Far-Reaching EU Rules to Counter Foreign Subsidies Now Adopted
The much-anticipated EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) was formally adopted on November 28, 2022, following approval by the Council of the EU (Council) of the position previously adopted by the European Parliament (EP). This comes as countries around the world are rolling out subsidies to stimulate growth in strategic sectors, which now risk being met with redressive measures by the EU.
The FSR grants the European Commission (Commission) a broad mandate to investigate alleged distortive foreign subsidies and imposes mandatory notification and approval requirements for operators engaging in certain M&A transactions and public procurement procedures in the EU. In each case, as a first step, the Commission will identify the relevant financial contributions. In the specific context of certain M&A transactions and public procurement procedures, operators will need to self-identify their financial contribution and proactively notify them to the Commission. Following this first step, a two-phase review process kicks in. In the first phase, the Commission will conduct a preliminary assessment of whether the financial contributions qualify as foreign subsidies and whether there are indications of distortions in the EU market. If the answer is yes, the Commission will initiate the second phase and will conduct an in-depth investigation to reach a final determination on the distortive effects of the subsidies and possible remedies.
This Update is part of a series of Sidley Updates about the FSR and marks the conclusion of the legislative process; see Sidley Update of May 2021 on the Commission's initial legislative proposal and Sidley Update of July 2022 on the provisional text agreed on by the Council and the EP in June 2022. The adopted text of the FSR largely reflects the provisional text of June 2022.
The FSR will enter into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the EU (the exact date is not yet known) and will start applying after a six-month transition period, most likely in the third quarter of 2023. Notification obligations for operators engaged in M&A transactions and public procurement procedures in the EU will start applying nine months after the FSR enters into force, likely in the final quarter of 2023.
While the general scope of the FSR is confirmed in the adopted text, some crucial elements on how it will apply are yet to be determined. The Commission is still expected to publish a draft implementing regulation in December 2022 that will set out detailed rules for FSR procedures, including templates for the notification forms. The implementing regulation should be adopted by the second quarter of 2023. While the implementing regulation might offer some guidance, it is unlikely to address all situations. The Commission is also expected to issue initial clarification on the assessment of distortion, the balancing test, and its power to request notification of non-notifiable transactions one year after entry into force. Formal guidelines on these elements will be issued three years after entry into force.
However, the Commission has at numerous conferences clarified that this is a new instrument that, although in large part based on existing EU anti-subsidy, merger control, and state aid rules, is broadly drafted to allow the EU to fine-tune the instrument as appropriate. Operators active in the EU and likely to be affected by the FSR should therefore start preparing now and not wait for the Commission's guidance in the implementing regulations, initial clarifications, or formal guidelines. Below, we set out immediate next steps that operators in the EU should take in the run-up to application of the FSR.
1. Operators engaging or likely to engage in M&A or public tenders should identify financial contributions.
The FSR M&A and public procurement notification obligations are defined with respect to the broad notion of "financial contributions" and not of the narrower "distortive foreign subsidies." After notification, the Commission will itself assess whether a financial contribution constitutes a foreign subsidy distorting the EU market. With the notification obligations entering into force in the final quarter of 2023, operators should now focus on mapping the financial contributions they have received or anticipate receiving from non-EU countries. This will require setting up internal reporting processes to identify financial contributions from non-EU countries.
These concepts are broadly formulated in the FSR (see Sidley Update of July 2022), and there are currently no guidelines clarifying their scope. It is understood that the scope of financial contribution is intentionally very broad so that the Commission can itself determine whether they are relevant. This will allow the Commission to collect broad information and develop a practice over time. But it has also imposed on operators a heavy burden to identify financial contributions from non-EU countries. That said, there is relevant precedent from EU anti-subsidy investigations that should be helpful in identifying the broad scope of the concepts of "financial contribution" granted by a "non-EU country." The latter concept in particular will have different application in practice depending on the jurisdiction concerned.
2. Operators engaging or likely to engage in M&A or public tenders should assess the risk of mandatory notification obligations and identify other risks for a call-in or ex-officio investigation where mandatory notification thresholds are not met.
Assess risk of being subject to mandatory notification obligations: The mandatory notification obligations for M&A transactions (i.e., mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures where there is a lasting change of control) and EU public procurement procedures are triggered when specific thresholds are met (see Sidley Update of July 2022 – notifications of M&A deals and notifications in public tenders). For M&A transactions, operators should note that notification thresholds (turnover and financial contribution) are calculated by aggregating values of an entire group. For EU public procurement procedures, operators should note that when the notification thresholds are not met, the FSR still requires operators to submit a declaration listing all foreign financial contributions received and indicate that they are not notifiable.
Assess risk of a call-in for transactions not meeting the mandatory notification thresholds: The Commission can also request a notification of transactions and public procurement procedures falling below specified threshold at any time before implementation of the transaction of the award of the tender if it suspects that the operators may have received foreign subsidies. Operators should therefore consider the risks of a call-in in relation to certain transactions, taking into account inter alia the sector concerned, the non-EU country (-ies) providing the financial contributions, and the amount of contributions.
Assess risk of review under the general ex-officio investigation tool: The Commission will be able, at its own initiative, to investigate suspected distortive subsidies in the context of any market situation, including, among others, services, greenfield investments, portfolio investments, and M&A transactions or public procurement procedures falling below the aforementioned thresholds. Operators should therefore consider the risks of a general investigation taking into account the sector at issue, the type and amount of financial contributions received, and the non-EU country granting the financial contribution. Operators should also track all publicly available information on FSR notifications, industry-specific foreign subsidies, and market investigations initiated by the Commission.
In assessing these risks, operators should consider the potential penalties in case of noncompliance. Operators that fail to respect notification obligations or try to circumvent such obligations through financial or contractual arrangements will be liable for a fine of up to 10% of the group annual turnover. Furthermore, an operator that intentionally or negligently provides incorrect or misleading information to the Commission may be subject to a fine of up to 1% of its group annual turnover.
3. Operators should consider proactively preparing for FSR investigations.
Given the complexity of investigations under the FSR, it is recommended especially for operators in higher-risk sectors to proactively prepare for an investigation. This entails taking account of the implications of the review procedures under each FSR tool on their EU operations (e.g., timelines) and preparing mitigating or rebuttal arguments preempting findings of distortive subsidies. Operators subject to investigation will also need to reply to information requests and submit to on-site inspections, both within and outside the EU. Experience from EU anti-subsidy investigation shows that operators may need to work together with the non-EU countries granting financial contributions to provide complete and consistent information. Noncooperation would allow the Commission to decide based on facts available, which could lead to adverse results.
4. Operators should assess the likelihood of being subject to remedial measures.
The FSR grants the Commission extensive powers to impose remedies if (1) there is a foreign subsidy (2) that distorts competition on the EU market, and (3) the negative effects of the foreign subsidy outweigh the positive ones for the EU — the so-called balancing test.
The assessment of distortion relies on a set of broad indicators. The FSR also identifies categories of subsidies that are deemed to be more or less distortive (see Sidley Update of July 2022). The Commission is expected to issue initial clarification on this one year after the FSR enters into force and to publish formal guidelines within three years.
The remedies available to counter distortive foreign subsidies are broad and vary depending on the review tool applied. Under the M&A and public procurement notification tools, the Commission can prohibit the implementation of M&A transactions and the participation of operators in public tenders or accept commitments offered by an operator. Under the general investigative tool, the Commission can accept commitments, order repayment of foreign subsidies, or impose structural and behavioural remedies. For instance, it can order operators to reduce capacity or market presence, refrain from investment, or divest certain assets.
Given how far-reaching the remedies are, operators should assess the potential effect of foreign subsidies on their EU operations. Such preemptive actions could also help operators make informed decisions when accepting foreign subsidies.
In conclusion … prepare!
Despite the final adoption of the FSR, there is still great uncertainty around its key elements. The Commission has indicated that it will issue clarification of these elements, but such clarifications will likely come after obligations start applying and in any event are unlikely to address all concerns that operators have. Operators should therefore start assessing the impact of foreign subsidies on their EU operations and set up effective compliance processes now, which can be fine-tuned once the Commission issues more detailed rules and/or guidance.
The FSR is a complex and unprecedented instrument, bringing together concepts from different areas of EU law. With our market-recognized leading experience in EU anti-subsidy investigations, EU state aid investigations, and World Trade Organization anti-subsidy law, combined with our specific expertise in investment screening and antitrust filings in the context of M&A transactions and in government procurement,

They Made Us Happy
Betty Comden & Adolph Green's Musicals & Movies
Andy Propst
First book to tell the full story of the extraordinary careers and lives of two of Broadway's and Hollywood's most gifted writing teams
Puts such classics as On the Town and Singin' in the Rain in a new context
Reveals the story of drafts of works unproduced for both stage and screen
Betty Comden and Adolph Green were the writers behind such classic stage musicals as On the Town, Wonderful Town, and Bells Are Ringing, and they provided lyrics for such standards as "New York, New York," "Just in Time," "The Party's Over," and "Make Someone Happy," to name just a few. This remarkable duo, the longest-running partnership in theatrical history, also penned the screenplays for such cinematic gems as Singin' in the Rain and The Band Wagon. In the process they worked with such artists as Leonard Bernstein, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Judy Holliday, and Jule Styne. They Made Us Happy is the first book to tell the full story of their careers, lives, and work, starting with their acclaimed appearances as part of the sketch troupe the Revuers and moving through their bi-coastal lives as a pair of Broadway's top writers and two of Hollywood's most valued scribes. The book takes readers on a trip through almost the entirety of the twentieth century, and along the way there are appearances by the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Greta Garbo, and Charlie Chaplin. Author Andy Propst brings both their produced work to life as well as many of the projects that that never made it to the stage or the screen, including an aborted musical version of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, a bio-pic about director-choreographer Busby Berkeley, and their version of the book for Cole Porter's musical Out of This World. Comden and Green's wit and deft satire inspired laughs during their lives, and their musicals and movies have endured, amusing generation after generation. It's work that will always be making audiences happy.

Andy Propst is an arts journalist and the author of You Fascinate Me So: The Life & Times of Cy Coleman (2014). His career has encompassed work with New York Shakespeare Festival founder Joseph Papp and Tony Award-winning director George C. Wolfe, as well as five years as on-air talent at XM Satellite Radio's XM 28 On Broadway channel. His writing has appeared in The Village Voice, Time Out/NY, Back Stage, and The Sondheim Review, and online at the site he founded, AmericanTheaterWeb.com, as well as TheaterMania.com.
"The book dashes through Comden and Green's glory years writing for stage and screen. High-profile projects such as "The Band Wagon" or "Peter Pan" - as well as lesser-known efforts, such as the "On the Town" successor "It's Always Fair Weather" - are given comparable attention. Chapters are broken up with paragraph-long nuggets consisting of background information or anecdotes. Best of all is the chapter on "Singin' in the Rain." Said Comden about starting work on the movie: "All we knew was, that at some point in the film, someone would be out in the rain and singing about it."As this marvelous book reminds us, that's where Comden and Green came in." -- Peter Tonguette, The Columbus Dispatch
"One of the strengths of Mr. Propst's book is his encyclopedic knowledge of virtually every move and shuffle, every last minute addition to and subtraction from shows and films... Mr. Propst tells us everything about how a show reached its final form, and in some cases its revivals... One appreciates this book as a compendious reference work; its value lies in the theatrical history it provides... Although [Comden and Green] now may be grist for the nostalgia mills, this book... shows how snappy, daring and brave they were. And what fun they had." -- Willard Spiegelman, Wall Street Journal
"What a lovingly researched journey through the duo-careers of two of our most talented wordsmiths. What good times they provided for us! Carefree, urbane, intelligent, tender hearted, playful - indeed they were 'a party of two.'" --Tommy Tune
"Andy Propst has done it again! His They Made Us Happy is a love letter to anyone who loves musical theatre, its history, and two of its greatest titans - Betty Comden and Adolph Green. He pulls back the curtain on the life and career of this once-in-a-generation pair of talents with humor, elegance, and grace. I read it in one sitting with Comden and Green's On the Town, Wonderful Town, Singin' in the Rain, Hallelujah Baby!, On the Twentieth Century, and The Will Rodgers Follies playing on my record player. Rest assured - if you don't have a record player, Andy's masterpiece is musical enough." --Will Nunziata, Director
"Thank you, Andy Propst, for the memories and for the history and revelations about these two remarkable artists and their time. They Made Us Happy made me so happy!" --Penny Fuller, Actor

What you could do is to add an extra border to your element, if you're bothered about it:

         $(document).ready(function() {

     $("[id$='.errors']:first").attr("tabindex",-1).focus();

// HERE WE SEE THAT SETTING THE FOCUS WORKED:

      $(document.activeElement).css("border", "solid green");

Marilyn Stowe talks: barristers vs solicitors?
The legal profession in England and Wales has a long history and a number of traditions that set it apart from that in other countries. Perhaps the most central is the distinction between solicitors and barristers.
Both barristers and solicitors are lawyers of course, but they undergo different training and specialise in different areas. Solicitors are client-facing. They work on multiple cases at once, and directly deal with the legal legwork and paperwork that lie at the heart of every case. Barristers by contrast, tend to focus on a single case at a time and specialise in courtroom advocacy: they are the ones who stand up in court, in wigs and gowns, and argue their client's case before a judge and (sometimes) a jury.
This is not the case in many other countries. In the United States, attorneys combine both roles. The term 'attorney' was used over here too until 1873.
Novelists and dramatists love barristers because it is an inherently theatrical role. Solicitors, by contrast, get little attention – but their contribution, so easy to gloss over – is very important.
My thoughts turned to my learned friends in court after I came across a case today concerning Dr Brian May, the Queen guitarist and now astrophysicist. He and his wife, actress Anita Dobson, launched legal proceedings and accepted the first offer made by the defendants.
What made the case stand out for me was the fact that Brian had chosen to bypass solicitors and instructed a Queens Counsel – a very senior and expensive barrister -directly. They had therefore incurred significant costs.
That is an unusual approach. Amongst the many differences between the two sides of the legal profession is the fact that – traditionally at least – solicitors are 'retained' directly by members of the public. Barristers are then instructed – on case-by-case basis – by the solicitors themselves to represent their clients in court as the need arises. So incurring the level of fees charged by a QC is unlikely in the normal course of affairs. Instructing a QC at all in a relatively small-scale case like this was arguably quite unnecessary.
Nevertheless the introduction of a 'direct access' scheme now allows members of the public, like Dr May, to go and see barristers themselves and cut out the "middle man" i.e. the solicitor. But whether he is happy with the outcome is another matter. And should solicitors and barristers be treading on each other's toes like this?
In this new video I take a look at the direct access scheme and suggest one solution that might help stop solicitors and barristers from straying outside their usual fields of competence.
Could it be time to get rid of the archaic and arcane practices, the wigs and gowns and insularity?
Hello, I would like to thank Barrister Gordon Exall for bringing to my attention a judgement issued today entitled Dr Brian May, yes, the same guy who is the guitarist for Queen and astrophysicist, against Wavell Group PLC. What is interesting about this case is that Dr May and his wife, actress Anita Dobson were bringing a case in nuisance against the defendants and they launched a claim for some £208,000. They didn't instruct solicitors, they went to instruct a QC (Queens Council), a Barrister at the highest level directly under the newly introduced Direct Access Scheme. They settled for the first offer made by the defendants who were represented by solicitors of £25,000. Then the question of costs arose because they were entitled to their costs but their costs were £208,000. How much of those should be paid by the defendants? Ultimately, it was decided that £99,000 of the costs were reasonable but only £35,000 plus VAT of those costs should be paid by the defendants.
Overall, was it worth it?
This case got me thinking about why we have this Direct Access Scheme to barristers who are traditionally part of the legal profession to advise on cases, they look at one case individually and advise on the law and they go into court as advocates. The higher up the level of bar barrister that you go, say to the QC, the more expensive and the more refined the argument and of course the costs. Solicitors of generally regarded as second rate even though they have actually trained just as long to go to their side of the profession as the bar have to theirs. What we do, is we are front facing. We deal with lots of cases at one time. We act and speak to the public. We negotiate. We conduct correspondence. Some of us do go into court and advocate for the client but overall, if it is required and if it is sufficiently complex, of course you would instruct a barrister whose job it is to be an advocate.
It got me thinking, direct access to the bar, solicitors taking over the job of advocates, particularly in criminal cases now that legal aid has been wacked down and everybody is trying to do each other's job when I think it is the pressure of costs that has probably cause the whole thing.
Is it time to fuse the professions?
Well I definitely think it is. I have been involved in cases all over the world and in particular in America where I have seen entire firms preparing cases for trial. Some people go into court, some people prepare. It struck me that, in-house, it is so much more sensible and it is so much more proportionate. So I followed their lead and I employ barristers in this firm in the same way that I employ solicitors and it works very well. I think the time has come for all of us in the legal profession to consider fusion. Get rid of this distinction of barristers and solicitors and just have law firms; a one stop shop where the public can go and get access to all kinds of good, qualified lawyers.
Now, Gordon Exall has already tweeted that he does not agree with my position here. He was a solicitor and he became a barrister; he thinks it would increase costs, I respectfully disagree.
What do you think? I would like to hear from you too.

Anyone who visits Concordia's new 4TH SPACE — Canada's first dedicated street-front showcase for academic research and experiential learning opportunities — is in for a memorable stopover.
Following a soft launch in November 2018, 4TH SPACE presented workshops on how to make vegan cheese, how to use a chocolate printer and how to raise crickets. If visitors were lucky, some might have left with a sourdough starter kit. These workshops were part of What is Food? — an inaugural installation at 4TH SPACE located on the ground floor of the J. W. McConnell Building on the corner of De Maisonneuve Blvd. and Mackay St.
4TH SPACE is located on the ground floor of the J. W. McConnell Building on the corner of De Maisonneuve Blvd. and Mackay St.
Few projects at Concordia have inspired as much anticipation and enthusiasm as 4TH SPACE. The next-gen, multi-purpose venue was officially inaugurated in the presence of elected officials in January 2019. 4TH SPACE is a versatile and daring new platform for a rotating selection of research projects.
The result is a sharing of cutting-edge research in an interactive and engaging environment that greatly differs from a more traditional, static academic setting. And that's the goal, says Graham Carr, provost and vice-president, Academic. He considers 4TH SPACE an opportunity to make Concordia visible to the external community and a vitrine onto what typically happens in labs. He views the space as fundamentally representative of the university itself.
The street-level venue, once the main floor of the Concordia Bookstore, has taken on a new vocation after two years of planning, consultations and a $1.9-million investment.
Powlowski is counting on the space's unique ability to be different things to different people. "Its flexibility and multi-purpose functionality are what everyone is hoping leads to experiential learning and enhanced collaborative thinking," he says.
The What is Food? installation is a superb example of a non-conventional, collaborative program that encourages participants to question how they think about and see the familiar through a different lens. During labs, participants were encouraged to sample foods and think about industrial versus artisanal fermentation, how our senses shape our food expectations, the trust we place in its preparation, how culture-dependent our food choices often are, and their overall thoughts on the edibility of food.
In the New Year, 4TH SPACE opened with an exploration of cities to investigate an important question: "What makes a city sustainable, resilient, liveable and playable?" Concordia city cluster researchers are tackling such big questions. They are combining forces across the university's four faculties and examining ways to bolster renewable energy sources, smart technology and the fight against climate change. The Cities Project at 4TH SPACE draws from the university's invaluable interdisciplinary strengths and treasure trove of expertise that can teach and inspire.

She is pictured with Canadian Member of Parliament Marc Miller, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante and Concordia President Alan Shepard at the public launch in January 2019.
Christophe Guy, vice-president of Research and Graduate Studies trusts 4TH SPACE's ability to serve as a dynamic lab to foster diverse, stimulating conversations and viewpoints, and translate these into public experiences that will benefit the Montreal community and beyond.
Extensive consultations took place to determine the specific technical, architectural and functional requirements of 4TH SPACE. It needed to foster meaningful and inspiring interactions between members of the university community and non-academic participants. The goal was to develop a space that accurately embodies the university's spirit of inclusiveness and innovation.
Installations, rotating residencies, screenings, idea labs, lectures, performances, hack-a-thons, curated programs and screenings are part of the planned programming. Innovative and inspired ways of connecting and learning are continuously being explored and proposed.
The university makes no secret of its high hopes for the venue's ability to inspire participants to collaborate, experiment and explore new ideas. Concordia President Alan Shepard refers to the 4TH SPACE as the "future of what knowledge creation and outreach will look like." The venue features large, glass entrances that during warmer months can roll up like garage doors to connect the space to passersby and to the city itself.
Laurence Parent, a partner in 4TH SPACE's Vibrations exhibition, praises the venue's accessibility — including wheelchair-accessibility — to the public.
One of the partners in Vibrations, Laurence Parent, is completing her PhD in humanities at Concordia. She holds an MA in critical disability studies and her work and activism focus on disabled Montrealers and everyday barriers to mobility. Parent, who started using a wheelchair at the age of five, has spent the last decade exposing how inaccessible Montreal's public transit system can be for people with disabilities. Even though she's written a thesis on the subject, the visual component of her research was extremely important to her.
Parent hopes the venue will become a space where academics, artists and community members will meet to work together on projects that are meaningful and have potential to effect real change in people's lives.
Samuel Thulin, MA (comm. studies) 09 — Horizon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Communication Studies and a researcher/artist at Concordia's Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology — was also a partner of the Vibrations exhibition. The research team, he says, went to great lengths to look at all aspects of accessibility for both the show and the venue.
Samuel Thulin is a Horizon Postdoctoral Fellow in Concordia's Department of Communication Studies and was a partner in 4TH SPACE's Vibrations exhibition.
Thulin admits not all goals have been reached yet, due to physical or structural limitations. "It's still a learning process and we're adjusting and thinking through the process as we learn how design and space can be more, or less, accessible," he says.


Well I got my ranger about a month ago and finally got of road worhthy, or so I though. I had a oil leak which I fixed with Lucas oil treatment, and it needed an alternator. I get all this installed and fixed. I go to stArt the truck and it looks like a damn smoke machine. But it was smoking from under the hood from one of the valve covers. The longer I let the engine the less it smoked. Any idea as to what would cause this?
If the truck had sat for a good while, it sounds like maybe it was just oil burning off that had leaked out of the valve cover and onto the exhaust manifold. Did the motor seem to run OK otherwise?
Then it sounds like it's just old oil cooking off.
Wouldn't hurt to carefully clean the motor a little, to get a better handle on where all it's leaking. I've got an '84 2.8L truck also; on mine the valve cover gaskets (likely original) were so toasted when I got it that parts of them were actually gone. Valve cover gaskets are cheap and easy, and it might be worth a look at on yours.
1st generation trucks are starting to get scarce these days. Good luck with it.
Get some rubber valve cover gaskets, you probably need to adjust the valves anyway.
you may have a problem with the PCV or how its hooked up.

Barry Manilow to Croon on Broadway
2:03 PM PDT 10/22/2012 by THR Staff
Barry Manilow MusiCares - P 2012
The Brooklyn-born singer will return to his hometown to play a 17-date engagement, with premium ticket prices topping those for "The Book of Mormon."
Fanilows rejoice. After years of playing Vegas and large touring venues, Barry Manilow will return to the relative intimacy of a Broadway house early next year, with a 17-performance engagement of Manilow on Broadway at the St. James Theatre.
PHOTOS: THR's Hollywood in the Hamptons
Not seen on the Great White Way since he played 44 shows at the Gershwin Theatre in 1989, Manilow's new concert series runs Jan. 18 through Feb. 9, with an official opening night scheduled for Jan. 24.
"Growing up in New York, Broadway has always held a special place in my heart, and I am honored to have the opportunity to make the St. James Theatre my home in the New Year," said Manilow.
STORY: Barry Manilow on Anthony Weiner and the Trappings of Fame: 'I Know That Feeling'
Now in the fifth decade of his career, the Grammy-winning singer is ranked by R&R (Radio & Records) as the top Adult Contemporary artist of all time, registering 25 consecutive Top 40 hits between 1975 and 1983. His records have sold in excess of 80 million worldwide.
Presented by Jujamcyn Theaters and Stiletto Entertainment, Manilow on Broadway is advertising a ticket price range of $50 to $350. However, premium seats for the show run from $550 to $700, dwarfing the $477 top premium price for the Tony-winning smash The Book of Mormon.

Here's how Oakfield-Alabama/Elba defeated defending champs to win Class D football title
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Oakfield-Alabama/Elba, at one time the best 8-man high school football team in Section V, is now one of the area's best, period.
The Aggies defeated reigning champion Avon 26-21 Friday night in the Section V Class D Final at Van Detta Stadium in Batavia.
Oakfield-Alabama/Elba had to beat Avon a second time this season in order to remain undefeated and collect a championship trophy to go along with the Section V 8-man titles won in 2018 and 2019.
But the ties to the Oakfield-Alabama team and its progress stretch back years before the first two sectional championships.
"It was tough. In 2016 and 2017 I was on the sidelines as a waterboy," Oakfield-Alabama/Elba senior Gaige Armbrewster said. "Going 1-7, 0-8, you look at it and say, this is how our football program was going to be.
"The four captains have been together for so long, since we were six years old. I didn't know what to think about (Oakfield-Alabama/Elba football), I was young. But it got built up. We built it up."
Armbrewster, who had tears in his eyes as he celebrated with teammates, was named the Most Valuable Player of this championship game.

Carter Fronk, a senior at Avon listed at 6-feet-5 inches and 388 pounds, was named the most outstanding lineman.
Oakfield-Alabama/Elba senior linebacker Brayden Smith was the choice for most outstanding defensive player.
Avon quarterback Andrew Rowland received the most outstanding offensive player award, scoring his team's final two touchdowns, including a 4-yard scoring run that helped give the defending Class D champions a 21-14 lead with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter.
Noah Currier, Oakfield-Alabama/Elba junior running back: Currier scored the winning touchdown, a 39-yard reception of a pass from sophomore quarterback Bodie Hyde on 4th-and-17 with 4:39 remaining.
His 65-yard touchdown run during the middle stages of the second quarter gave the Aggies lead back almost immediately after a 14-play scoring drive by Avon evened the score 7-7.
It can be argued that most of his 120 rushing yards on just nine carries sparked the Aggies offense. Currier also intercepted a pass as a defensive back.
Play of the Game
The Aggies, trailing 21-20, were going backward. They faced 4th down and 17 yards to convert at the Avon 39, when Hyde rolled right and let an accurate pass go that landed in the hands of Currier.
They said it
"That was absolutely not how we draw (the winning play) up. We just found out on the bus, that Noah was incorrect on the route that he ran. Maybe it needs to be a play." - Oakfield-Alabama/Elba coach Tyler Winter.
"We said all week, 'Who is going to step up, rise up and make a play?' That was Noah improvising, Bodie too. That was not what the protection scheme called for, but he saw some space, kept the play alive and made a great throw." - Oakfield-Alabama/Elba coach Tyler Winter.
"If our coach said we have practice at 8 a.m. (Saturday, the day after the sectional final), everyone would swallow that pill, take it and we would all be there. Everyone is dedicated." - Oakfield-Alabama/Elba receiver defensive back Noah Currier
Cooper Colantonio, Oakfield-Alabama/Elba senior defensive back: The Aggies kicked off after Armbrewster took a swing pass from Hyde 57 yards for a touchdown and a failed conversion attempt.
Colantonio stripped the Avon kick returner of the ball and the Aggies recovered, setting up the team's game-winning drive.
166 - Rushing yards for Oakfield-Alabama/Elba senior Gaige Armbrewster on 16 carries. Her ran for two touchdowns.
12 - Tackles credited to Oakfield-Alabama/Elba senior defensive end Kaden Cusmano, as the Avon running game was relentless. Cusmano also broke up two passes.
4 - Turnovers by Avon, including interceptions by Kameron Cusmano, Currier and Armbrewster, who snagged a "Hail Mary" throw, in the first half.
Oakfield-Alabama/Elba advanced to the Class D state tournament quarterfinal round or Far West Regionals, where the Aggies face Randolph, the Section VI or Buffalo region champion, 3:15 p.m. November 20 at Williamsville South High.

 A Big Gulp; Anemones eating very large prey.
An intertidal Urticina grebelnyi with large whelks, Neptunea pribiloffensis laying eggs next to it.
What marine animals eat in their natural environment has always interested me.
As an aquarist, and as a zoologist, I know that finding the proper food and feeding it in proper amounts is probably the most important factor in animal husbandry. In the natural environment, if an animal doesn't get enough nutrition, all else is moot, as the animal will die.
Sea anemones are one of my favorite groups of animals, as they are for many other folks, but determining what they eat is no easy task. Generally, it is necessary to probe inside the animal to find out what it has eaten. And this can be quite dangerous.
Back in my younger, and stupider, days I needed to determine what the beautiful Urticina grebelnyi was eating in one of my study sites. Over the course of two field trips, I examined the gut contents the easy way, I reached into the anemones' gut cavity and pulled out the gut contents—with no gloves, as I needed feel for and find small foods.
Yes, I knew they were venomous, but I was young, and thought there would be no damage. And after trying it a couple of times, I found it didn't hurt, and the only evidence of the nematocysts was that everything on the inside of the critter stuck to my hand. I checked out about 100 anemones over a month or so.
2) It appears I am sensitive to most if not all species. Fortunately, I have not become fully sensitized, and have avoided anaphylactic shock. However, I am very careful around my aquarium, lest I forget to wear gloves.
The intertidal habitat showing several whelks and numerous sea urchins.
Anemones may use their nematocysts to kill their prey, provided they are eating live food. However some anemones use their powerful stinging capsular harpoons to become efficient scavengers, and the best recent example I have seen is a blog detailing an example of a large green anemone from the Pacific coast, shown here eating the carcass of what is identified as a common Murre chick, much larger than itself.
These anemones often live in surge channels where they must hang on to their "catch" in high currents and turbulent flows. I suspect they have become adapted to that mode of life by having evolved particularly venomous and particularly adhesive tentacles, and that is well shown in the video.
And probably would like it. If it had the mind to appreciate it.
At the Feiro Center I regularly allow various anemones to sting me as a way to demonstrate how the animals catch their food why our visitors should avoid touching them. Based on your information from earlier articles I do try to minimize these demonstrations since I really dislike the idea of needing to wear gloves. So far the only problem has come from a brooding anemone (Epiactis fernaldi) that I touched by mistake while feeding – OUCH! As you know Epiactis spp. tend to be fairly small and sort of innocuous looking; what may be less obvious is that E. fernaldi at least is EXTREMELY aggressive when contacted by just about anything. I think the problem arose from a combination of the animal's aggressive response and my stupidly allowing it to nail me on top of an unrelated injury.
E. fernaldi was originally described from specimens found in a surge channel – I wonder if the aggressive capture response is an adaptation to living in a high energy environment?
As always, a fascinating article. Thanks for posting it!

Q: The Bible tells of Jesus' brothers and sisters, but Catholics believe that Mary had one child, Jesus. How can this be explained?
A: This is a very good question. It is important that we need understand that languages, which were used by people 2,000 years ago, did not exactly match the modern languages we use today. For instance, the words used to describe brothers and sisters in ancient Israel extended beyond one's own immediate brothers and sisters, but also to one's cousins. Our English language is much more specific in that our words do not embrace such a broad group of people as other ancient terms do.
Moreover, we also understand the truth that Mary, the Mother of God, had only one child; namely, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. The next children to which Mary was entrusted with were us, as Jesus spoke to his mother, Mary, and John the Apostle, as he hung on the cross. Remember how Jesus said, "Woman, behold your son"? Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother." This moment is pivotal in that Jesus entrusts the Catholic Church to Mary, who is our mother.
It is through Jesus' mother, Mary, and his foster father, Joseph, that Jesus would have had extended family, not unlike us. This further underscores the fact that while Jesus is God, he also shares fully in the attributes of humanity, especially having family.
Q: Why doesn't the Bible explain Jesus' life between the ages of 12 and 30?
A: The Bible is God's revealed word. The Gospel stories underline the fact that Jesus is our salvation history and in these stories we travel with Jesus throughout his life.
We are familiar with significant moments in Jesus' life, such as his conception in Mary's womb and then being born, which we have the Nativity stories of Jesus in Bethlehem. We even have further stories of Jesus being presented in the Temple and then later being found in the Temple at the age of 12. At this point, we "fast forward" to Jesus' Baptism in the Jordan by John the Baptist.
The Gospel stories of Jesus are pivotal moments, as described by the four evangelists (the Gospel writers were inspired by the Holy Spirit) that the story they are telling is our salvation in the person of Jesus Christ.
While this explanation may not satisfy your curiosity, trust that Jesus, who is fully God, is also fully human. We confidently know that Jesus did become a teenager as well as that he was in his 20s, just like any one of us who have reached our 30s. Perhaps you and I can find further comfort in the fact that Jesus, who became a man, one of us, fully understands the joys and the challenges that you and I are confronted with in daily life. It does not matter whether or not we are 5 years old, 12 years old, 20 years old or 90 years old. Jesus understands.
Q: Will people who are not baptized still go to heaven?
A: Here is the long answer: Baptism is participation in the life of God. In this gift of the Sacrament of Baptism, we are brought into the Trinitarian life of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Baptism, Original Sin is destroyed, and as a result, we more fully realize our potential as human beings made in God's image and likeness. Unfortunately, this potential was lost by our first parents, Adam and Eve, with Original Sin.
We cannot fully reach our potential outside the reception of Baptism. Here you have raised a grave concern: Can one be received into Heaven having not been baptized? We are fully aware that we live in a world in which not all people have been baptized. We should pray for them. Of course, we do pray for them throughout the year, especially in the Prayers of the Faithful at the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ on Good Friday. This having being said, we also are confident in God's Divine Mercy. And so, as many among us will die not having been baptized, we entrust them with Jesus Christ's Divine Mercy.
How fortunate we are to have this holy gift of the Sacrament of Baptism, for Jesus welcomes us into his life. Baptism is not "becoming a member of a club." No, the Sacrament of Baptism is so much more, for Jesus gives us a gift of the highest blessing of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, a gift which is with us always. We also know when we sin we fail to remember this beautiful gift. How fortunate we are to have another beautiful gift in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, which brings us back to that full embrace of Jesus Christ.
In the meantime, together let us pray for all of our brothers and sisters who have died, all those baptized and those nonbaptized, that we may have opportunity to be together again as one family in Jesus Christ.
May you and your family have a most blessed Holy Week and celebration of the Easter Resurrection.

Societies In Iberian Peninsula Deployed "Escape Economics" 4,000-Year-Old
Jan Bartek – Icestech.info – Researchers from the University of Barcelona have analyzed settlement dynamics of the communities of the central-eastern Iberian Peninsula that existed 4,000 years ago.

Using a Big Data approach, researchers could reveal that these societies deployed the so-called "escape economies," using enrockment and segmentation tactics to protect themselves from the exploitation and conflicts due to the expansion of the El Argar society, one of the first state societies in Europe.
The El Argar culture, which was flourishing in the south-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula during the Bronze Age – was one of the most outstanding archaeological entities of the European Bronze Age that emerged around 2200 BC. It was the first state-level societies on the European continent, characterized by large, central hilltop settlements, distinct pottery, specialized weapons and bronze, silver and gold artifacts, alongside an intramural burial rite.
During the Early Bronze Age (2200–1550 BCE), the first state-like political entities emerged in specific regions of Europe, such as the Aegean, Central Europe, and Southeast Iberia.

These entities brought about strong economic developments, but also new and more intense forms of social and natural exploitation. The relations between these new central powers and peripheral areas have been rarely looked into.
A study by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) analyzes the settlement dynamics north of the El Argar society, which during its 600 years of existence imposed mechanisms of economic and political control throughout Southeast Iberia.

An extraordinary number of micro-settlements was identified in the areas surrounding the El Argar region. Most of them measured less than 1000 square meters and were located in difficult-to-access hill-top sites. First, researchers Marcello Peres and Roberto Risch analyzed the geographical location, extension, duration, and distribution of these settlements. Their conclusion shows that the settlement pattern probably was the result of enrockment and segmentation strategies used by the local population to counteract El Argar's expansion.

These were difficult times of violent conflicts generated by relations that are typically seen between political centers and their peripheries.
The research was published in Trabajos de Prehistoria, a journal of the Spanish Higher Research Council (CSIC).
Transformation of social spaces
The results point to a transformation of social space, particularly in the latitudinal strip between Alcoy and La Mancha, which lasted six centuries. After 2300–2200 BCE, this area saw a concentration of settlements in steep and hard-to-access or even fortified places. This strategy has been defined by researchers as an enrockment, a term associated with defensive movements and the protection of buildings by using rocks or walls.
"Seldomly, more than 12 to 25 people lived in these micro-settlements and the absence of large villages implied that there was no hierarchy between settlements controlled by any political center," the researchers write.

The concentration of settlements in high and steep locations and the effort invested in constructing defensive barriers increased as one approached the El Argar region. Farther away, however, in the valleys of the Tajo and Henares rivers, the same settlements and economic systems from the Upper Neolithic and Copper Age prevailed, in a time when open and extensive settlements lived side-by-side with a wide variety of smaller communities.
"It is difficult to imagine the social reality of these Bronze Age micro-settlements, where producing basic goods (cereals, dairy products, clothes and metal) would not be viable without some sort of collaboration. Such a dispersal and enrockment of these communities and their means of producing goods is difficult to explain, unless there was a real danger to their survival," Marcello Peres says.
According to the researchers, both strategies reveal a concern of the populations to the north of the El Argar state of protecting themselves by living in easily defendable locations. "Their duration does not coincide with any climatic event or exceptional migration, due to an epidemic, for example. Only a more or less latent situation of social conflict would explain the exceptional physical and economic effort these communities put into their daily activities, being far away from arable land and river valleys, which were the main communication routes in those times," they explain.
Researchers detected a sociopolitical situation in the central-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula which was unique in all of Europe and the Mediterranean during the Early Bronze Age. "The development of such a lifestyle among communities that were neighbors of the El Argar state suggests the development of escape economies, i.e., social resistance strategies when faced with exploitative systems that rely heavily on the resources obtained from their peripheries," Roberto Risch says.
"Another sign of the interdependence of social and economic realities between El Argar and its neighboring communities is that their end came almost simultaneously. With the end of the El Argar state in 1550 BCE, these communities changed their way of living and moved down to the arable valleys and adapted a more pastoral and mobile economy," researchers state.
Analysis of ancient settlement patterns using Big Data
To conduct the study, researchers used the online platform Bronzesites_Iberia, created by Marcello Peres as part of his Ph.D. thesis on Prehistoric Archaeology at the UAB, as well as consulting regional archives, maps, satellite images, and visiting the sites.
"It is the first time all the archaeological information we have to date of such a large area as is the Iberian Peninsula is brought together and analyzed using Big Data, which surpasses traditional archaeological cultural barriers and administrative regions," they write.
This database has allowed them to test geospatial, architectural, and artefactual connections of 1,445 sites located in an area of 177,000 square kilometers which includes eleven provinces of the Iberian Peninsula's central-eastern quadrant: Madrid, Guadalajara, Teruel, Castellón, Cuenca, Toledo, Ciudad Real, Albacete, Valencia, Alicante and the northern part of Murcia.

CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE COMPANY TO DO YOUR LEGAL FUNDING.
To prevent some lawsuits from proceeding, for instance, the divorce and inheritance statements, personal injuries, accidents involving automobiles or industries, legal funding is done at a level that both parties come to an agreement. One must do a thorough scrutiny of how the whole process of pursuing the case against the other person in court involves regarding the fee that will be charged, the time that the proceedings will take, the efforts involved, and if this does not place you in a position that you will eventually emerge the winner, it is wise to opt for legal funding so that you can save your time and money following up the whole proceedings in the court of law.
Research remains to be the key thing when it comes to a point where one needs nothing but the best, and the legal funding company search is not left out, in fact, it should be done more carefully so that the appropriate company can lend the money to fund the plaintiff. Knowing the type of your case determines a lot the kind of company to go for because despite the fact that there are numerous companies that may lend money to the claimants, not all companies will give a helping hand for both the personal injuries and those cases related to commercial stuff, and therefore the lawsuit should be well understood first before asking for recommendations of companies.
One should not just identify a legal funding company and immediately proceed with the agreement; but it is wise that they consult first from the company whether they are in a position to handle your lawsuit case comfortable without any complications arising in the along the way. Despite the fact that the company may be ready to provide the funding for your practice area, their willingness most of the time is greatly affected by the laws of the state one is, and therefore it is wise to get the company that is ready to give the legal finance in that particular state.
Another important aspect to consider when looking for an appropriate company for legal financing of your lawsuit is to check their loan rates because the companies differ in the rates they offer for a particular case, and therefore to avoid spending a lot when repaying back the loan, it is wise that one should select the company with better rates. Monthly compound rates, semiannual, time factors, and flat rates are some of the rate structures provided by different companies, and for one to consider going for whichever company, they should understand their rate structures so that they know the whole payment. It is best for you to know your options of the rates so that you select the company that you will be comfortable with to meet your desired needs.

HAVERTOWN – It's called aging in place. It is assisting the elderly who remain relatively independent in their own homes. Assisted living facilities are often the only solution for those who are frail, but it is a step both the elderly and their families or caregivers would prefer to avoid, if possible.
Consequently, a whole industry has sprung up to provide either medical or non-medical assistance to families that want to keep their elderly loved ones in their homes as long as possible.
One of the leading companies in the field of non-medical assistance is Havertown-based Visiting Angels, which over the last decade or so has spread to 46 states with almost 400 bonded and insured franchisees.
Larry Meigs, the CEO of Visiting Angels, co-founded the company along with Baltimore social worker Jeffrey Johnson, who pioneered the concept in 1991. In addition to all the training needed for startup, franchisees are provided with ongoing updates and seminars to keep abreast in their field.
Johnson had the social service background and skills; Meigs, who had extensive experience in franchise marketing, had the know-how to take Visiting Angels national. Between them, they came up with a product which has served about 200,000 to date – mostly seniors over the age of 75.
Visiting Angels works closely with families and caregivers and sends trained companions to the client's home for tasks such as hygiene assistance, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands and shopping and companionship.
Clients, or more usually their caregivers, contract for a specific number of hours per week, typically a minimum of 20 or so, but service can be provided from respite care to around-the-clock. Because it is not an institutional setting, home care is strictly at the client's schedule.
The agency does not dictate when a client should rise or eat; in fact, it considers its task to adjust to a client's wishes.
"The system Jeffery established in Baltimore was a very personalized service system and building strong relationships with clients and caregivers," Meigs said. "Generally, people stay with us. We've had some clients for years."
Obviously, such personalized service can be expensive, just like nursing home care, but people are willing to do it because they want to keep their loved ones in their homes. "They would be willing to do it even if it was more expensive," Meigs said.
A member of Presentation B.V.M. Parish, Wynnewood, he and his wife, Gina, both teach CCD. They have two sons, Robert, who attends Archbishop Carroll High School, and Calvin, who attends Regina Angelorum Academy.
Part of Meigs' reason for teaming up with Johnson at Visiting Angels was personal experience.
"When my dad was sick with Parkinson's, I was looking into home care and there wasn't any," he said.
In any case, Meigs, who also owns a local franchise of Visiting Angels credits Catholic advertising along with a good business model for their success.
"We've been advertising in The Catholic Standard & Times from the very beginning," he said.
For further information concerning Visiting Angels, visit www.visitingangels.com or call 800-365-4189.

Real Covenants and Other Interests Which "Run with the Land"
Myres S. McDougal, Yale Law School
This second edition of Judge Clark's classic little book is designed to serve the same purpose as the first: to bring clarification to that peculiarly obscure body of doctrine and practice known as the law of "rights in the land of another." The first edition was hailed, despite its brevity, as one of the few great law books of our time; this new edition merits and is receiving similar acclaim. In the first edition the author, restricting himself largely to the problem of "the transferability of those non-possessory interests in land traditionally known as incorporeal hereditaments," announced his aim as being "to state clearly the conflicting views of policy" and "to set forth a more accurate historical perspective, particularly in the law of covenants running with the land where it is believed that false notions of history have hampered the development of a consistent modern doctrine." In the present edition he elaborates his purpose as, not "reform or rewriting," but "clear exposition," "exposition and clarification through analysis of precedents." This objective will not be scorned by scholars and practitioners who are concerned to preserve the widest possible scope for private agreement and to make private agreement a more effective instrument of land planning and development in individual and community interest.


Kindergarten Math Outside Games Get Kids Moving And Learning Math.
What a great idea! Why not have the kids utilize their energy while they learn math. Kindergarten math outside games will give a child the best of both worlds. Having fun and being a kid, while they are learning math.
Preparation: First be sure to inflate the beach ball. This game can be used played using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts. With the permanent marker, write the numbers 0 through 10 all over the ball. Each of the numbers can and should be written more than once on the ball.
How to Play: You can play the game with one or more students at a time. Toss the beach ball to student. You should stand at a reasonable distance from the student so the ball reaches them on the fly.
The player catches the ball and keeps his or her hands in the same place after making the catch. After catching the ball, the student looks to see what numbers on the beach ball their thumbs are touching.
These are the two numbers that they will add together. They should be given a time set by you to answer the question. Have Fun!
If you liked Beach Ball Math, you'll probably enjoy more kindergarten outdoor math games like this next one below. Helping kids can get a little exercise with a fun math learning twist.

Production
George Lucas a commencé à développer le projet Red Tails vers 1988. Thomas Carter était son choix initial pour réaliser le film. De nombreux auteurs ont travaillé sur le projet jusqu'à ce que John Ridley soit embauché en 2007 pour écrire le scénario. Samuel L. Jackson a été pressenti pour éventuellement réaliser et jouer dans le film. C'est finalement Anthony Hemingway qui a été choisi pour diriger le film en 2008. Pour les recherches historiques, le groupe Lucasfilm a invité quelques-uns des survivants aviateurs de Tuskegee au Skywalker Ranch, où ils ont pu témoigner sur leurs expériences durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

La production a débuté en mars 2009. Le tournage a eu lieu en République tchèque, . On reconnaît notamment la ville croate de Rovinj, à l'architecture vénitienne, comme la ville voisine de la base.  Pendant le tournage en République tchèque, les acteurs ont fait l'expérience de vivre dans des conditions similaires aux aviateurs de Tuskegee. En mars 2010, George Lucas a réalisé quelques prises additionnelles en raison de l'absence d'Anthony Hemingway occupé à diriger des épisodes de Treme pour HBO.

Récompense
 2013 : Meilleur film au NAACP Image Awards

Analyse
Dans le film, le patronyme du Commandant des Tuskegee Airmen est Bullard en hommage à Eugene Bullard, le premier pilote militaire américain ayant combattu durant la 1ère guerre mondiale. En réalité, les "Red Tails" étaient commandés par le colonel Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr
