Cheap hotels near Place de l'Opera in Paris, France
The Place de l'Opéra is one of Paris' most prominent squares, its centerpiece the city's gorgeous Beaux Arts Opéra Garnier. An architectural marvel, replete with gilded ceilings, bejeweled chandeliers and sculptures, the opera house was designed during Napoleon III's reign and took 15 years to construct.
From Place de l'Opéra, it's easy to get to most Paris' central sights. Place Vendôme is just a short walk away and it's about a 15-minute walk to the Jardins des Tuileries and a bit further to the Louvre. The shops along the Grands Boulevards (Boulevard Haussmann, Rue la Fayette) are just a quick walk northeast of Place de l'Opéra.
The square is central to getting around the city, as the "Opéra" Metro station serves three lines (3, 7, 8) with connections to many more. The city's Roissybus leaves from the square regularly for Charles de Gaulle airport.
Hotels near Place de l'Opera: We've come to love the hotels in the area around the Place de l'Opéra. (We used to find it a bit too busy.) Budget hotel options abound in nearly every direction, with many favorite cheap sleeps a bit south near the Louvre.
Hotels get even more affordable if you head in the direction of the Grands Boulevards, and even cheaper if you continue north toward Montmartre and Place Pigalle. The further you go north, of course, the less central you'll sleep (although the area is well-served by the Metro).
1Ascot Operastar
Address 2, rue Monsigny (2nd: Bourse / Montorgueil)
Located two minutes from the Palais Royal (and another few minutes to the Louvre), the three-star Ascot Opera is transforming into a boutique hotel with somewhat affordable rates.
2Peletier Haussmann Operastar
Address 15 rue le Peletier (9th: Grands Boulevards / Opéra / Pigalle)
The Hôtel Peletier Haussmann provides 26 comfortable, if somewhat tired, two-star rooms with a nice range of amenities in the center of the chic Opera shopping area.
3Prince Albert Louvrestar
Address 5 Rue Saint Hyacinthe (1st: Châtelet / Palais Royale / Louvre)
Tucked away on a small street off the Jardin des Tuileries, the Prince Albert Louvre has a royal location and 30 rooms fit for a (budget-conscious) prince.
4Hôtel Louvre Richelieustar
Address 51 rue de Richelieu (1st: Châtelet / Palais Royale / Louvre)
The Hôtel Louvre Richelieu is a mixed bag, offering both cheap and basic rooms and swanky renovated rooms at higher rates.
Address 13 rue Saint Roch (1st: Châtelet / Palais Royale / Louvre)
Clean, air conditioned rooms await you at the Londres Saint-Honoré, a small two-star located five-minutes from the Louvre.

Then I saw a little african boy sleeping, and I thought...that is little Okeke. he is tired from herding all the goats and the big goat got away today - Rock
Very motivating. I respect Tate for his dedication and love for the sport , I have to ask though, even if its more philosophical than realistic because as I lifter I know that the we can only go all the way, is there a threshold, a kind of rule, a system (perhaps to avoid the chase of the biggest lift) by which we can lift through our 30's and 40's without risking serious injuries and without worrying if we'll be able to walk in our sixties like Dave said? I really love lifting and I dont want to sound lighthearted but sometimes I get frustrated with the vanity of living in constant pain for nothing
Straight up, this kind of article makes me so very sad because it makes weightlifting so horribly unappealing...
It is a good article but at the end of it he says he loves training at the start makes it sound like he would rather be doing anything but. I look forward to the gym everytime i go but im only 19 maybe that is to come with age?

My Discussions
My Email Digests
I've been looking all over but can't seem to find an answer to this specific question.
I am 33 yrs old and have had FM for about 10 years. As we all know, some times in life are more stressful than others which often results in management of symptoms and truly taking care of ourselves being more difficult...I'm certainly in one of those times!
I am worried, though, because although I'm doing my best to eat well, get rest, and exercise, my symptoms have changed in the morning. My pain and stiffness level has stayed the same, but waking up has become almost impossible. It's beyond even my normal FM morning exhaustion and lasting fog, for which I already take Nuvigil. This is more to an inability to move or even register the snooze button for what it is...almost like having a huge heavy blanket on top of me and not having the strength to budge underneath. I've been late for work and have found myself just dozing off at my desk.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a sign that I'm overdoing it and need to cut back & restore/heal? Or could it be a more drastic sign? I have a strong family history of psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as having psoriasis myself, so I do try to be aware of changes in my body's responses to different situation.
Thanks for any help!
So, I really hope you don't develop any rheumatic arthritis, but as you already seem to know, you need to keep a journal of specific symptoms. Hopefully, you will get back to normal soon! Do you already have a rheumatologist on your team?
Life changes things around all the time. You need to have your EYES WIDE OPEN. When there is a great change like this in your personal response you need to be seen and labs checked and a reveiw done by the physician.
Also asking here is a great idea as we walk the walk. My mornings ARE MY WORST...always have been and a nap can set me back as well. I have numb hands in the morning , stiff neck and legs at times and a headache and all this begins to get better as I walk and wake and then take my meds.
I have often said I live "ground hog day!" Everyday I start all over again to get through that wake up moment when pain and FM joins me in the bed. Where under the sheets I have to stretch each muscle from fingers to toes in order to walk to the bathroom.
So, you might just be changing in symptoms and it is our dragon that we drag around with us, or something else is up*...thyroid off, RA, LUPUS or other things that seem to creep in to this mess we are in.
Please get checked.....
It may be something so simple. So many here are on muscle relaxants, an antidepressant and a pain med as their mix. If that is the same for you, maybe a channge is due for your meds in a tune up mode. Ask the doc.
Good luck, let us know the follow up on this. Thanks, Nancy B
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I have been increasingly worried that the RA or PA will rear its head sometime sooner rather than later, especially given the pattern of stress/illness that my fibro seemed to develop with.
I like the idea of keeping a journal about the symptoms--I've been doing so mentally, but I can see the power of a physical record!
Thanks again and best wishes,
Thank you very much for your kind reply. I identified with your descriptions of "ground hog day"...it resonated with my normal symptoms as well as the change that sparked my curiosity. It is true that the combinations of medicines is so complex and our responses can change as well. Also, the mention of thyroid differences is another thing that I didn't think of.
I'll definitely be going to get checked, as you and Xperky suggested. I appreciate everyone's compassion here!
As for mornings, it does seem to be the worst time for us
I finally started keeping track of how I felt and that's when I got the FM diagnosis. Mornings were definitely the "red flag". I too have a horrendous time waking up. I finally put my alarm clock across the room and also alarm on phone. I timed them a minute apart, and that helped too. Can't hit snooze when 2 alarms are going off across the room! This way I HAVE to get out of bed to silence them. Not fun, but it works.
I second the thyroid testing, I have hypothyroid and take medicine for that. Good luck!
Although I will be traveling for work and unable to visit the doctor for the next couple of weeks, I have made the appt. for the thyroid test and started a dedicated symptom journal, as you and the other wonderful respondents have suggested. I know it will help to be confident during my visits with a concrete record of change over time.
It's also so wonderful to know that there is a community of support...combating a feeling of isolation is half the battle!
Thanks again!
I may get up after some stretches... but 9 times out of 10 I fall asleep drinking coffee on the patio... unless I bring out my laptop and start working on it right away... then it is 8 times out of 10 lol... I type the strangest messages here in my sleep lol...
I always have to exercise before I can even put my feet on the floor... not heavy just stretches... they help sometimes to get me alert....... the pain they can cause can wake me lol... but if I don't do them I can't make it to the bathroom without falling... and I definitely never make it to the porch... I wake very stiff.. headachey... and sore... My pain level doesn't like me one bit... Either that or you might say it is though-rally enjoying itself lol...
I take my pain meds on the way out the door... turn the coffee on... and vegetate and hope to stay awake... but if I don't I have my alarm set every half an hour so I can b e awake when I need to wake up my family... I am a human alarm clock.. lol..
My logs include a pain level chart that shows my ups and downs and stresses/triggers if any... and my treatments... it also helps me keep track of when I take my breakthrough meds for I take them when needed and not at a specific hour like I do the rest of my pain meds... I also include a diary of moods and what I accomplished during the day...
My days end like clock work... at about 4 to 5 pm my pain level climbs back to where it has to be dealt with big time.... it is usually worse then morning... And continues thru -out the evening and night to some degree... This is when I do my 3rd and 4th exercise program... no matter how it hurts I have to stretch at least... And it usually helps enough to at least help me move again...
Pain cycles can be different with each of us... The reasons we are sleeping and in pain may or may not be FM... If it is a new symptom I have it checked... Or at least try to... Sometimes discussing new problems with my PC is like talking to a brick wall... It always has an excuse before a rationalization... That's what I get for having multiple problems... lol...
But talk to your Dr... perhaps you are like me... I am on too much meds that make me sleep at night... I now take one in the morning and it works much better... it still can make me drowsy... but not comatosis lol... And it helps my Parkinsons better taking it in the AM... and the anxiety and manic bi-polar... I think I was sleeping away most of the effects before lol...
Or maybe you are taking meds too late... I have to take mine about 7... and I still am awake at 10 lol... but I am wierd... most sleeping pills either wake me up or put me to sleep the next day lol... I am on one now that only does that part of the time.. it usually puts me to sleep in 3-5 hours... unless I take it too late...
I guess this is pretty long... I am sorry... I hope I helped a bit... hang in there...
take care... love... Jan/Dakota

Kennett Square, Pa. — Research into the causes and treatment of laminitis, along with wide-ranging collaboration, are the driving forces behind
the newly established Laminitis Institute at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine's New Bolton Center.
The institute was established primarily with a gift from philanthropists Marianne and John K. Castle, along with the Barbaro
Fund, launched after the Thoroughbred's death in 2007 following a bout with laminitis.
Already he is advancing the institute's first major initiative — creating a tissue bank at New Bolton Center. Tissue and blood
samples from horses with either experimentally induced or naturally acquired laminitis, along with data, are being collected
from researchers throughout the United States and worldwide, with the institute serving as a repository for all of them to
Research goals
"Our goal is to take a three-pronged approach to answer some very basic and general questions," says Galantino-Homer, VMD,
PhD, Dipl. ACT, the lead investigator. "Gleaning from the human and veterinary literature, and proving through our experiments
which pathways apply and which don't, we hope to find some answers."
The three research components are tissue banking, investigation into the pathogenesis of laminitis and developing an in vitro
lab model of laminitis.
Included are serum and tissue samples from several Cushing's horses, some with laminitis and some without. "We have all the
information that goes with those samples — endocrine studies for the Cushing's horses, laminar histopathology, what research
has been done with samples so far, everything centralized because it's not always easy to get that material to work with,"
says Galantino-Homer.
The Bernice Barbour Foundation recently provided a three-year grant to develop a laminitis discovery database, which will

Chapter 72
Flying remote model airplanes was Lee Hanrahan's hobby. His basement was his workshop where he assembled kits with wingspans as large as three feet. They were a far cry from the ones he had built as a kid where wires went from your hand to the plane controlling the tail rudder and wing flaps. Now a hand held remote controlled everything allowing the plane to fly freely up to a half mile away.
Since Hanrahan had lakeshore property on Arrowhead, he built mainly seaplanes. He would take one out in his boat and fly it over the lake. Over the years he became so expert at it, that he could land the plane in the water and taxi it right up to the boat. Rarely did he crash even when swells on the lake kicked up a little from the wind.
Today was a perfect flying day. The sky was clear and the winds very light. But he wouldn't dare venture out on the water in his boat. He hadn't done that since early last summer. Bigger boats than his had been upended by the shark.
So he flew the plane from his dock which extended about twenty feet into the water. His son Bobby put down his Game Boy video game as soon as he saw Lee heading for the dock.
"Let me fly dad," he said hurrying after his father.
Hanrahan was a little reluctant to let Bobby fly his Cessna seaplane. He had just built it two weeks ago and hadn't quite gotten the feel of it in the air. But the wind was light so he would let him.
"Can I taxi it out and do the takeoff?" Bobby asked excitedly.
"No way. When it's up you can fly it."
"Aw c'mon."
Hanrahan set the bright colored yellow plane in the water at the end of the dock. It bobbed around on its pontoons while he gave the propeller a spin to start the motor. The engine came to life with a steady whine and he made a fine adjustment to the carburetor. Taking the remote he advanced the throttle and the plane slowly moved away from the dock.
When the plane was about twenty feet away, he turned it into the wind with a sideward movement of the controller joystick. Then he turned up the power and it gained speed over the water until the pontoons lifted into the air.
"Okay dad let me take it now."
"No. Wait 'til I get some altitude and make some turns."
The plane was up about a hundred feet now over the lake. Hanrahan banked it to the left and it turned in a wide arc.
"See," he said holding the remote lower for Bobby, "just a little push left on the joystick. Not too much. See that?"
"Yeah, now let me try."
"Wait a minute will ya."
Hanrahan turned the plane to the right and it responded immediately. He loved controlling it, swinging it into tight turns that became barrel rolls. His other favorite manuever was putting it into a dive and at the last minute pulling it out before it hit the water. It was tricky, but he seldom missed, pulling out at the last second.
"C'mon dad."
"Okay, okay here." He handed Bobby the remote and he took over by pulling the nose up for the plane to gain altitude."
"Careful damn it. You'll stall it."
Bobby leveled the plane off and sent it into a series of wide turns.
"That's pretty good. You've got the hang of it."
And why wouldn't these kids he asked himself. Their eye hand coordination was exceptional because of all the video games they played. To see his son's fingers fly over the keys of a Game Boy was something. Unfortunately like most kids Bobby overdid it by playing hours on end.
Hanrahan looked up. Bobby had the plane in a shallow dive.
"Pull up before you lose too much altitude," he said quickly.
"I am," Bobby said pulling backward sharply on the remote joystick. "Nuthin's happening."
"Let me have that," Hanrahan said taking the remote. He tried to give the plane more power. It was close enough now for him to hear the engine rev up, but it didn't. He tried to turn right, then left, to pull up…nothing.
He had just put new batteries in the remote a few days ago. He covered the top half of it, cupping his hand to see the red power light. It was on. The remote was working but the plane definitely wasn't responding to it.
He moved the joystick in four different directions. Nothing. The plane was in free fall and out of control. Hanrahan and his son watched helplessly as it plummeted toward the water and then went into it with a splash.
"Shit," Hanrahan said jiggling the useless remote in his hand. The red light was still on. He pushed the off button, the light went out. On again. The red light glowed. It definitely hadn't lost power.
"I gotta go out and get the damn thing, you stay here."
Hanrahan got into his eighteen foot Boston Whaler which hadn't been used since last summer when the shark was found in the lake.
"Dad, you can't go out there. What about the shark?" Bobby yelled over the motor as it started.
"I'm not getting out of the boat," Hanrahan said untying the lines.
He sped away from the dock toward the spot where the plane had crashed about a hundred yards away. As he got closer he could see it bobbing on the water, the right wing broken off. Hopefully it was floating nearby.
But there was something else in the water coming toward the boat from the left. Then he saw it. A dorsal fin. There was no doubt about it. But it wasn't heading for him, it was heading for the plane.
Hanrahan threw the boat into neutral and watched as the shark plunged into the broken plane, its jaws closing down on the fuselage, crunching it into pieces. It dove underwater circling around to make another pass. Hanrahan gunned the engine, spinning the wheel sharply to turn away from the shark. The boat sped back toward the dock. Halfway there he turned to look back and saw the shark biting into what was left of the plane.
He pulled up to the dock and jumped out of the boat quickly tying it up.
"What happened dad? Where's the plane?" Bobby asked still holding the remote.
Hanrahan strained to catch his breath.
"The shark was out there," he said gasping for air. "He ate the plane. Bit it into pieces."
"You saw the shark?"
"Yeah," he said hurrying him toward the house. "We gotta call the sheriff."
A half hour later Piccolo and Tillitson were on Hanrahan's back lawn looking out on the lake where he had seen the shark. This was the first call that hadn't been received over nine-one-one so the press hadn't been alerted. Piccolo and Tillitson were thankful not to have them crawling up their backs this time.
The Hanrahan home was on Willow Point with a good view of the Marbury end of the lake. Unlike some other lake communities, the houses were spread farther apart and there were woods on either side of his property.
Hanrahan, still visibly shaken, pointed to where the shark had attacked the plane. Bobby stood to the side with his mother.
"It was right over there," Hanrahan said pointing to a spot about a hundred and fifty yards away. "The shark came in from the left and practically destroyed the plane with one bite."
"How far away were you when he got to it?" Piccolo asked.
"Maybe twenty yards or so."
"So the shark went for the plane instead of your boat," Tillitson said.
"Yeah I guess," Hanrahan said. "Maybe because the plane was just floating on top of the water.
"Did you stop the boat at all?" Tillitson persisted.
"Yeah, I didn't want to get any closer."
"Then what happened?" Piccolo asked.
"The shark dove underwater and I took off."
"Did the shark attempt to come after you?"
"No it went back to finish off the plane."
"So again it attacked the plane rather than come after you."
"I guess," Hanrahan said. He obviously hadn't thought about that before.
Piccolo turned to Bobby sitting next to his mother with the remote in his hand.
"Do you mind if I ask Bobby some questions?" Piccolo asked Peg Hanrahan.
"You don't mind do you Bobby?" Peg asked her son.
Bobby shook his head.
"Can you show me on the remote what happened when you couldn't control the plane anymore? Piccolo asked.
Bobby held the remote out and moved the joystick several different ways as he explained what he did. "I tried to pull the plane up like this and then when it wouldn't go I tried to give it more power but nothing would work."
"What happened then Bobby? Piccolo asked.
"My dad took the remote and he couldn't do anything either."
Piccolo turned to Hanrahan. "Did you check the batteries?"
"They're practically brand new."
"Was that the only plane you have?" Tillitson asked looking toward the open garage.
"No I've got one more. It's a little smaller. Another seaplane."
"Can we check to see if the remote works on that one?" Piccolo asked.
"Sure," Hanrahan said. "I have another remote for that plane, but this one should work on it too. Both planes are made by the same company."
Hanrahan went in through the garage to his work room. He returned with a yellow seaplane, the tail painted bright red. He put it on the grass next to Piccolo and started the engine. Bobby had the remote in his hand.
"Can you turn up the power?" Piccolo asked.
Bobby moved a small lever on the remote and the plane's engine roared.
"How about the other controls? Do they work?" Tillitson said moving closer to Bobby.
Bobby moved the joystick left and right. The ailerons on the plane moved up and down. He pulled the stick back and the tail flap went down. The remote worked perfectly."
"These planes fly on a radio signal don't they," Piccolo said. 'What do you know about that?" he asked Hanrahan.
"Only that it's in the low megaherz range. The recreational channel is seventy-two megaherz."
"Are any of your neighbors ham radio operators?" Tillitson asked.
Hanrahan thought for a moment then said, "There's a house about two blocks away with a big antenna on the roof, but I never had this trouble before. Ham radios operate at fifty-four megaherz. That's a completely different channel."
"Could the signal from the remote have been interrupted by a stronger one?" Tillitson asked following Piccolo's thought.
"It would take a powerful signal to spill over from another channel. But like I said I never had the problem before."
Piccolo didn't say what he was thinking. The thought was too bizarre, but at the sametime it explained a lot about the shark that had eluded them for over a year. He could seethat Tillitson was thinking about the same possibility. Both of them hurried to finish questioning Hanrahan and his son. Neither could wait to get back in the car to compare notes. The idea was just too crazy. But when you thought about it, it made a lot of sense.

The only reason that picture was chosen for the article was to get attention.....it has clearly worked
Well, if Kaetlyn doesn't mind, why should anyone? It's her crotch.
"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
Y'know, personally I'm more offended at the painted/dressed up three and four year old they parade all over TV. This? Not offensive. At least it wasn't a jump/spin face, that newspaper editors seem to love for whatever reason.
I guess gynecologists will have a new gal to cheer for, now that Sasha Cohen's retired.
Looks like she might have needed a Brazillian. In printing a pic like that one has to give some consideration to the perverts who will get off on it.
I am fine that some pervy photographer found a way to get skating publicized.
The most ridiculous "scandal" I have heard of in a long time.
Women should skate with a book of 18th century poems held between their knees.
I saw that pic too and it definitely wasn't a good choice. She is so young, not a nice way to receive publicity.
I hope she will won't wear such sheer mondors in the future.
I'd rather see an action shot like that rather than one mid jump or mid spin when faces are contorted and there may or may not be boogers and spit flying.
I'm honest, just not always in a nice way
She was wearing tights. Her body was completely covered...
I've seen much worse than that.
I personally didn't think it was that bad. The caption, however, made me laugh - "Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond, 17, earned an eighth place finish in her first ever competition at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships" - I know it was her first worlds, but it sounded almost like she'd just recently discovered that she had a talent for skating

— Onions just might trigger new vacation planning and Vidalia, Ga., would be the place. Rural America.
Since five million 40-pound boxes of these specific sweet onions ship around America every year, there must be a lot of travelers with taste buds wanting more.
Professional chefs will compete for the Golden Onion trophy April 14, 2013. That's also the date for the 36th annual onion festival in Vidalia.
This is the onion with a protective federal market order and a museum. Only onion I ever knew with a pledge!
Intrigue in the growing of these sweet treasures is nothing new. Guess that's why Bob Stafford is known in Vidalia as the "onion high sheriff."
He keeps everybody honest, enforcing the federal order naming 13 full counties and parts of seven as the only true Vidalia sources.
You can visit them. Claim you grew such an onion elsewhere and the fine can reach $10,000.
Building an onion traveling schedule? Georgia tourism at www.ExploreGeorgia.org can help with details.
Stafford's office is in the Onion Museum where the story of sandy soils explains the special sweetness.
Seems it's sulfur that makes an onion pungent, even hot, but South Georgia sandy soil lets the sulfur leach and the onions grow sweet.
In nearby Statesboro, home of Georgia Southern University, museums and academic experts tell tales of the influence of the sandy soil on flowers, grasses and people here.
Fossils and ancient creatures too when this region was an ocean.
Museum stories offer perspective.
Where to eat sweet Vidalia onions in their land?
Dinner prepared by Executive Chef John Mark Lane happens Tuesday through Saturday at Elements Bistro and Grill on the downtown corner in Lyons.
Handsome place of brick and wood, bold colorful art, spacious windows, community pride and exquisite cooking.
Clint and Teri Williams are the owners, high school sweethearts married 32 years with grown children, and a strong love of place.
That's why they devoted three years turning a dilapidated abandoned space into a quality restaurant.
"I walked these downtown streets when I was a boy and they were lively, busy," Williams says.
"Downtowns can be that way again," he believes. Keep an eye on his latest project if you want to overnight in Lyons because he's renovating four apartments above the art gallery in Elements Bistro.
Might also visit Vidalia Valley in Lyons – population reaches 5,000.
Ask to chat with the family farmers when you go there to buy onion relish. Onion salsa. Onion jam. Onion everything.
Fifty onion recipes are processed in this valley's family business.
First time I've ever been somewhere with 6,000 pounds of onions being peeled each hour.
I went there to buy onion relish and met the patriarch R. T. Stanley who also talks about his personal little-boy experiences on the same land, "doing what my daddy did."
I do believe I'd like to meet the other 100 farmers in these counties growing real-deal certified Vidalia onions. Maybe family farming still does mean something in America.
In addition to visiting the Onion Museum, I recommend talking to the Vidalia Area tourism experts to see about a tour, or at least conversations with onion experts.
Where else to eat in Georgia when craving a Vidalia onion?
Probably The Hil on the Hill in Palmetto, south of Atlanta since executive chef and owner Hilary White won the 2012 Golden Onion trophy for her caramelized Vidalia onion fritter with Serenbe Farm vegetable slaw and mustard vinaigrette.

Kan. Man Convicted in Rolls-Royce Shooting
Sat Mar 4, 4:52 AM ET
A jury convicted a 77-year-old man of attempted second-degree murder for shooting a private detective in the back as he attempted to repossess the aging car dealer's beloved 1951 Rolls-Royce.
John Harper faces more than five years in prison for the May 2005 shooting of Emery Goad, which he said was in self defense. The bullet narrowly missed Goad's heart, hospitalizing him in critical condition.
"I don't think I should have been charged in the first place," Harper said after jurors convicted him Friday.
Goad, who has since recovered, and two other men went to Harper's duplex with court papers giving them authorization to take the green Rolls.
Steve Mank, Harper's lawyer, insisted that Harper acted in self-defense. Harper claimed he fired two shots only after he saw Bud Redburn, one of Goad's associates, reach inside his coat and someone say, "Take him down."
Redburn testified that he wore a pistol under his coat but never drew it.
Sentencing has been set for April 28.

A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine that succeeds in combining great depth of flavor and structure with an impressive array of flavors. On top of the tannins is juicy black fruit, cocoa, a welter of spice and ripeness. The acidity and new wood put the wine into a more modern style."

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Oklahoma State junior guard Tiffany Bias rubbed her temples with her fingertips. Senior Toni Young played with a ring on her finger. And even though Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell didn't move, you could see the nerves were starting to get to them.
So when the television finally revealed that the seventh-seeded Cowgirls will face No. 10 seed DePaul at 1:30 p.m. Sunday during the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Durham, N.C., it wasn't so much as excitement as relief that overcame the crowd gathered inside Boone Pickens Stadium.
Relief that the week of anticipation and the hour leading up to the show was finally over and Oklahoma State could get back to doing what it does best — playing basketball.
"It came kind of late, so there was a little anxiety for a while," Littell said. "I was afraid that we were going to have to charge all the people for the ice cream if we didn't make it there.
"But it's really nice to see you're name come up. It's been a few years since we've been in the NCAA Tournament and as I told our crowd, I'm very proud of the young ladies and what they've accomplished the last couple of years. This is just a nice progression for our program to get to the NCAA Tournament."
Projected as high as a sixth seed and as low as an eight seed, it wasn't a matter of if — rather when — the Cowgirls would pop up on the big board. That still didn't make it any easier for the team as they saw other Big 12 teams like Iowa State, Kansas and West Virginia learn their destinations early.
"It's just kind of nerve-racking because you're always looking at the Bracketology," Bias said. "They were saying that we were going here, here or here, but then all of a sudden it's like, 'Alright, that's not even where we're going to go any more.' We were nervous the whole time. I don't know why, but it's just one of those things that you're just excited to play and see who you're going to play."
Bias wasn't the only one that had been peeking at ESPN's Bracketology. Littell also had an idea where the Cowgirls might end up, but was a little surprised when they didn't appear in the Spokane Regional in College Station, Texas.
"We were and to be honest we hadn't even considered Durham," Littell said. "We thought we could possibly go to College Station. We thought that Spokane or Iowa City was an option, but we're going to a neat place for the kids to play — Cameron Indoor Stadium on the campus of Duke. It's going to be a fun place for them to play."
No doubt NCAA Tournament trips are meant to be a reward for an entire season of hard work. Even with a tough draw in DePaul in the first round, the Cowgirls aren't ready to call it a season yet.
"We feel great," Bias said. "Now that we know who we're playing, we can prepare better and just be ready to play. We played Baylor close, so I think we feel like we can play with anybody out here. It just depends on how much we want it and how hard we're willing to work for it."
You could see all that hard work in the eyes of each of the Oklahoma State players as they patiently waited for their name to pop up on the screen. But from freshman Brittney Martin's piercing scream to the hug shared between sophomore Liz Donohoe and senior Lindsey Keller as Oklahoma State's name appeared on the board, Young said that moment was worth all the hours of intense practice over the summer and into the season.
"It was well-deserved," Young said. "Our team fought the whole year. I was getting nervous, wondering where we were going, but to see our name pop up on there meant we got the recognition we deserved for playing so hard all year."

Like The Punisher, Judge Dredd serves as judge, jury and executioner, all rolled into one. Like The Punisher, Judge Dredd also received a cinematic reboot in an attempt to right precious filmmakers' wrongs.
Plan one: Any self-respecting fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 should go see the RiffTrax gang do its thing tomorrow night to Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not for nothing has the 1959 sci-fi turkey starring Bela Lugosi and Bela Lugosi's chiropractor been dubbed the "worst movie ever made."
The 7:30 p.m. Thursday showing isn't live, but it was four years ago, and if you didn't see it then, trust me: It was hilarious.
Or don't trust me and see it yourself. That's what I'm urging you to do, anyway, and you may do so at either AMC Quail Springs Mall 24, 2501 W. Memorial, or Tinseltown USA, 6001 N. Martin Luther King.

So long for now, Eric and Jordan Staal. Maybe next year, Daniel and Henrik Sedin. And any Sabres fans who were hoping to visit Phoenix or Anaheim next month can put away the sunscreen.
The NHL has canceled all of its games scheduled for November.
In a highly anticipated move, the league announced today it is taking another significant chunk off its schedule. After chopping two- and one-week segments in its previous cancellations, the NHL went bigger with a whole month getting the ax.
"The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action," Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. "By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term Collective Bargaining Agreement that would have preserved an 82-game Regular Season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur.
"We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the players and the clubs -- one that will be good for the game and our fans."
The cancellation means 11 more games for the Sabres have fallen by the wayside. They were scheduled to play five home games (Carolina on Nov. 3, Philadelphia on Nov. 16, Columbus on Nov. 21, Winnipeg on Nov. 27 and Vancouver on Nov. 29) and six road games (Philadelphia on Nov. 6, San Jose on Nov. 8, Phoenix on Nov. 10, Anaheim on Nov. 11, Philadelphia on Nov. 17 and the New York Islanders on Nov. 24).
Combined with the previous cancellations, the Sabres have had 20 games nixed.
"This is deeply disappointing for all hockey fans and everyone who makes their living from hockey, including the players," Donald Fehr, executive director of the NHLPA, said in a statement. "But it comes as no surprise.
"The message from the owners seems to be: if you don't give us exactly what we want, there is no point in talking. They have shown they are very good at delivering deadlines and demands, but we need a willing partner to negotiate. We hope they return to the table in order to get the players back on the ice soon."
While presenting its last proposal, the NHL said it would require seven days for training camp. For games to start Dec. 1, a collective bargaining agreement will need to be reached by Nov. 23.
No talks are planned, and the league withdrew its most recent offer today after the NHL Players' Association expressed little interest in the proposal.
Though the Staal brothers, who were united in Carolina during the offseason, would visit Buffalo if the lockout ends and a shortened season is scheduled, the Western Conference Canucks and the Sedin twins would be a long shot. The 1994-95 season was shortened to 48 games due to a lockout, and all the games were played within the conferences.

The business owner said someone threw a large cinder block through a side window sometime Thursday night and when an alarm didn't sound, entered the business through a back window.
The owner said several items were missing from her display case along with a laptop computer. Items taken include various types of vapor cigarette devices and a vapor cigar. In addition, about $170 was gone from the register.
It isn't known how much was taken in the burglary since an inventory of items in the store was on the stolen laptop. The initial estimated loss is $1,300.
An investigation into the burglary is continuing.

Title IX's Pyrrhic Victory
ow the quest for "gender equity" is killing men's athletic programs
Former National Wrestling Champion Stephen Neal is grappling with his toughest opponent yet. The 6-foot-5-inch 270-pounder racked up numerous awards during his four-year wrestling career at California State University at Bakersfield (CSUB): He was a four-time All American and an Academic All American, and he took home the Heisman Trophy of wrestling, the Dan Hodge Award. Yet the heavyweight, who graduated in 1999, burns for one more win -- not on a wrestling mat but in a court of law.
Neal's longest match started in 1996, when officials at CSUB announced plans to cut the wrestling team. It's not that the team wasn't performing. The only Division I sport at CSUB, the program had distinguished itself over the years, winning two PAC 10 championships and finishing in the top 10 in the NCAA finals three out of the previous four years. The problem had to do with "gender equity," the proportion of male to female athletes. Critics charged that CSUB, like many other colleges and universities, had too many men playing sports and was discriminating against women.
In 1993, when Neal was a junior wrestling at a San Diego high school, the California chapter of the National Organization for Women (CAL-NOW) was completing litigation against the California State University System, of which CSUB is a part. CAL-NOW claimed that the Cal State System discriminated against women in its athletics programs. A state superior court judge crafted a consent decree that gave individual CSU campuses five years to bring the gender breakdown of their student athletes and scholarships to within five percentage points of the breakdown in the student body. If a school's student body consisted of 55 percent women, then at least 50 percent of intercollegiate athletes needed to be women. On the financial front, total expenditures for men's and women's programs were to be within 10 percentage points of each other .
When he learned of the consent decree, CSUB wrestling coach T.J. Kerr knew he had a problem. CSUB's student body is dominated by women, 63 percent. And even though the school had seven women's teams and only six men's teams, men accounted for 61 percent of its varsity athletes. Kerr studied the issue and developed a plan, figuring that the way to comply with the court order was to expand opportunities. He took the initiative to start a women's wrestling team. "I started looking at the participation number of women wrestlers in high school -- it had doubled over five years," says Kerr. "I was thinking if I could get women on my team, I could leverage this thing." School administrators denied his request for women's wrestling, but Kerr went around them and started it as a club sport. Soon he had 17 women on his team. Two even competed for the varsity squad.
The cuts came anyway. In late 1995, CSUB's athletic director capped Kerr's squad at 27 men, and the coach was forced to cut 10 male athletes. Five former wrestlers filed grievances with the school, alleging sex discrimination. Then Kerr was told he could carry a total of only 34 wrestlers, forcing him to cut seven women. In 1996, on the eve of the PAC 10 finals and the Division I championships, the Intercollegiate Athletics Advisory Committee, which advises CSUB's president on athletic policy, announced plans to cut the wrestling program to meet the consent decree.
Enough was enough, thought Stephen Neal, who'd experienced the damage on a personal level: His roommate, a freshman walk-on, was cut from the squad. "He didn't know what to do. He was in shock," says Neal, adding that the roommate ultimately quit school. Neal, along with 21 male wrestlers and eight female ones, filed suit against CSUB in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California for sex discrimination.
The root of Neal's problem -- and that of thousands of male athletes across the country -- lies in the widespread push for gender equity in scholastic and collegiate sports. In California, Neal and hundreds of other male athletes have been affected by state law. Elsewhere, it's a federal law that's at issue: Title IX of the 1972 Amendments to the Education Act. Title IX sought to give women equal access to educational programs, including athletics. Now it's evicting men from the locker room.
Struck Out
There's no arguing that women didn't face a shortage of athletic opportunities in the 1950s, '60s, and early '70s. A year before Title IX's passage, only 294,015 girls played high school sports, compared to 3.7 million boys. "I was the classic tomboy growing up in middle America who played football, basketball, and baseball with my brothers and the neighborhood guys," recalls 50-year-old Mary Jo Kane, who teaches sports sociology at the University of Minnesota and directs the Tucker Center for Research on Women and Girls in Sport. "I lived to play those sports. But when I got to high school, there weren't teams available for me in those sports. So I did what a lot of girls in my generation did and started playing a more 'appropriate' sport, golf."
In the three decades since Title IX's passage, women's participation in school athletics has increased impressively. During the 1999-2000 school year, 2.7 million girls played high school sports, compared to 3.8 million boys, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. In 1998-99, 148,803 women played NCAA sports, up from 80,040 16 years earlier.
"In one generation, young girls have gone from hoping there is a team to hoping they can make the team. That's an incredible difference," says Kane, who credits Title IX and the hard work of women's sports activists for this change -- and who jokingly declares that she's never been a communist and still loves football. Women can now earn a living playing basketball in America. In 1999, the U.S. women's soccer team filled the Rose Bowl and captivated the country, beating China for a World Cup victory.
Still, Kane is frustrated with the pace of change. "Only 9 percent of Division I schools are in compliance," she says. "And that's 30 years after passage." Women still account for only about 35 percent of college athletes and garner less than a quarter of annual athletic operating and recruiting budgets.
Yet while the intent of Title IX was to provide opportunity for girls and women, today it is often applied in ways that do nothing but kill athletic opportunities for boys and men, an outcome no one claims to want. In the gender equity debate, few people blame Title IX itself, which, after all, seeks only to ensure equal opportunity for both men and women. Most women's sports advocates recognize there's a problem with cutting men's teams to equalize participation rates. But they blame the choices made by administrators who they say refused to restrain football programs. For their part, male coaches and athletes say they agree with the spirit behind Title IX. It's the rules promulgated by bureaucrats dictating hard gender-based quotas that are the problem.
Rhode Island's Providence College provides a vivid example of how Title IX often plays out. In the late '90s, Providence found itself in a familiar bind. Women accounted for 59 percent of its students, yet they were only 43 percent of student athletes. The school was facing a peer review by the NCAA, and it needed to show quick "progress" toward gender equity. Providence simply had too many male athletes, and the easiest course of action was to cut some men's programs to bring its numbers into line. In the fall of 1998, the administration announced that the 1999 season would be the last for the school's 78-year-old baseball team. After 2002, Providence would no longer support men's golf or tennis. Not one new women's team would be created, but the male-female ratio would still be greatly improved.
"Baseball, tennis, and golf were the three sports that, when you combine their resources together, delete them from the male side of the picture, [and] add those resources to the women's side of the picture, put...us in compliance with Title IX's proportionality mandate," explained Providence Athletic Director John Marinatto to the PBS special National Desk. School administrators had watched neighboring Brown University get sued and lose for not having its numbers right; they feared a similar lawsuit. "We just couldn't risk that kind of litigation," the Rev. Terence J. Keegan, Providence's executive vice president, told The New York Times. "We felt we were backed into a corner."

With so much confusion and conflicting information surrounding the American Pit Bull breed I decided that I wanted to seek the truth. April Fahr, from HugABull, kindly agreed to answer some of the most common questions that American Pit Bulls face from members of the public.
Question 1: Could you please give me a brief introduction about yourself, particularly in relation to your connection with American Pit Bulls.
My name is April Fahr, Executive Director of HugABull Advocacy & Rescue Society. HugABull is a registered non-profit organization that promotes education and rescue of bull breed dogs in BC, and encourages responsible ownership of all breeds. In our 10 years of operation, we have pulled over 400 great dogs out of the shelter system and placed them in loving, responsible homes.
Questions 2: What is a typical personality that you would expect an American Pit Bull to have?
Active, tenacious and endlessly loving. You can read their breed profile here.

Question 3: How much of their personality and behaviour is due to nature (their breeding and genetics) and how much is due to nurture (the way their owners raised them)?
Just like with other dog breeds (or with humans) there's no definitive answer to that question. It's certainly a combination of both. A breeder who is breeding for profit, or by accident, won't be taking temperament or health into account, and those genetics may cause problems down the road. And a puppy that grows up on the end of a [tethered] chain will like have behavioural problems as it grows older. This is true of any breed.
Question 4: Why do American Pit Bulls often have such a bad reputation, particularly as being aggressive and dangerous dogs?
Pit bulls have historically been associated with dog fighting activity and culture, contributing to a "tough guy" image and this can attract the wrong kind of ownership. Not surprisingly, poor breeding and ownership set up a dog for failure. There's also no question that the media reports "pit bull" attacks differently and with more sensationalism then when other breeds are involved. There's no evidence that pit bulls attack more often or more frequently than any other breeds, but they are reported much more widely. The National Canine Research Council has a pretty good overview of the role of the media.
Question 5: Would you recommend an American Pit Bull to someone who has never owned a dog before?
Many of our adopters are first-time dog owners. If you have a commitment to being a responsible dog owner and a good breed ambassador, a pit bull can be a great choice. They are extremely human oriented, respond very well to training, and because all of our adoptable dogs are screened and in foster care, we can generally provide a very good match to the adopters lifestyle and experience. Check out our adoption page on our site for more information.
Questions 6: Do American Pit Bulls make good guard dogs?
Typically they do not. By their breed standard they are very human loving, outgoing and friendly towards strangers. They are not a guardian breed.
|Photo Credit: Beverly & Pack
Questions 7: Are American Pit Bulls safe to have around other dogs?
Every dog is an individual. Some do best as only pets, but I would say the majority of dogs in our program are adopted into homes with other animals. Pit bull breeds are a mix of bulldog and terrier lines, and it's not uncommon to see aggression towards other animals in either of these groups of dogs. Again, each dog is an individual, but we do tell adopters that bully breeds may show some intolerance to other dogs, or exhibit some prey drive. This is true of pit bulls and dozens of other common breeds.
Question 8: Are American Pit Bulls safe to have around children, both with supervision and without?
By their breed standard, pit bull type dogs are extremely human loving and human tolerant - this generally extends to small humans as well. Many dogs in our program are "nanny dogs" to babies, toddlers, and children of all ages. We believe that all dogs, regardless of breed, should be supervised around children.

Question 9: Is it safe to adopt an older American Pit Bull that you know little about?
Adopting an older dog of any breed can be a wonderful experience. By working through a reputable rescue, you can be matched with a dog that has been temperament tested and in foster care for a period of time, so its personality and quirks are fairly well understood. In fact, adopting a mature dog can help ensure you know exactly what you are getting - unlike adopting a puppy where it may show new and unexpected behaviors as it reaches maturity.

Question 10: What should you do to avoid being attacked, or if you are attacked, by an American Pit Bull?
The same things you should do if you were attacked by any other dog. The Humane Society offers tips on how to avoid dog bites.
Question 11: What recommendations would you make for someone who is thinking of getting an American Pit Bull?
Be prepared to be an ambassador for the breed! It can be challenging sometimes, but very rewarding to educate people about the potential of these wonderful dogs.
Question 12: Is there anything else that you would like to tell me about American Pit Bulls?
They are one of the most common breeds in North America, owned by many celebrities! For more information please read Top Dogs Across America, 10 Celebrities Who Love Their Pit Bulls and Famous Celebrities Who Own Pit Bulls.
I would like to say a big thank you to April for taking the time to answer all my questions. Please visit HugABull to learn more about this amazing charity and the work that they do.
