Nobody ever wants to do taxes, especially after a rough financial 2008. But as long as you have to, you'll need a straightforward tax-prep program to help you wade through tricky tax law. TurboTax 2008 continues to produce the most complete and understandable do-it-yourself tax software on the market, and it adds new features for 2008. For example, Intuit has adjusted the tax interview to make it easier for you to claim extra deductions and avoid penalties if you lost a job, foreclosed on a house, or survived a storm or wildfire this past year. TurboTax 2008 for the desktop also awards free e-filing for up to five federal returns and gains a new support feature that displays users' top questions per tax topic.
TurboTax 2008 isn't for everyone, though. Price remains TurboTax's biggest stumbling block, and live support costs extra. The rival software TaxCut charges less for its desktop software, and provides several forms of tax support for free with live agents, or with tax professionals in the H&R Block offices. To its credit, TurboTax includes a wider range of self-help tools to manage questions, risk, and audits on your own. However, any one-on-one support you want with a topic or an audit will cost you between $20 and $40. We think TurboTax's tools and new knowledge base will answer most taxpayers' burning questions.
Which desktop version?
This review covers the desktop version of TurboTax Deluxe, with State, but there's a version of TurboTax 2008 for everyone:
TurboTax 2008 Free Edition: A free, online package that's ideal for those with simple 1040 EZ returns.
TurboTax 2008 Free Deluxe ($59.95 with State): Used by the majority of people, it's aimed at those in the middle ground with some complexity, like home owners and casual philanthropists.
Premier ($89.95 with State): For folks who own rental properties and have extensive investments.
Home and Business ($99.95 with State): Tackles tax law for contractors, consultants, and sole business owners.
Each desktop version has a slightly cheaper online equivalent. Filing online stores your return on Intuit's servers and limits you to one free e-file.
Setup and interface
Sprightlier than past versions, TurboTax 2008 takes its time installing and updating the latest changes to tax law--about 10 minutes total. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, then go make a cup of coffee.

Theo Walcott turns focus to Manchester United
Thursday 09 December 2010
Theo Walcott would love to show Barcelona just what Arsenal can do should they meet again in the Champions League next year - but knows Arsene Wenger's men must now concentrate on delivering a top performance at Old Trafford.
The Gunners secured their place in the last 16 of Europe's elite competition once again with a somewhat laboured 3-1 win over Group H whipping boys Partizan Belgrade at Emirates Stadium, ending the game with 10 men after Bacary Sagna's late dismissal.
However, as they could only finish runners-up to Shakhtar Donetsk - whom they had thrashed 5-1 at home earlier in the qualifying campaign - Arsenal will not be among the seeds for the knockout stage draw which takes place in Nyon, Switzerland next Friday.
Given domestic rivals Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham all won their respective groups, that means the Barclays Premier League leaders will now face either of Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid or one from German duo Bayern Munich and Schalke.
Walcott was part of the Arsenal team ripped open by Lionel Messi in their quarter-final second leg in the Nou Camp during April, where the England forward had put the visitors ahead.
While Walcott feels were the two sides to face off again it would be a very different prospect, the 21-year-old accepts focus must first be on getting a positive result from their top-of-the-table domestic showdown with United on Monday night.
"If you want to be the best, you have to play the best," said Walcott, who came off the bench against Partizan to make his 150th Arsenal appearance and give the Gunners a 2-1 lead with a well-taken second-half goal before in-form Samir Nasri netted a third.
"We want to go that one step further - if we do get Barcelona, we don't want Messi to do what he did to us last season.
"I would love to go back there and show them what we are all about this season.
"We want to win silverware for the fans because they have waited too long.
"We have improved - new personnel have come in and we have players coming back from injury soon.
"It doesn't matter to us, we will play anyone and try to win the game."
Walcott knows getting the better of Sir Alex Ferguson's men at Old Trafford will be no easy task, despite Arsenal's impressive away form.
"United have not lost in the league yet, so hopefully we can be the first to do that," he said.
"Manchester United are not playing the best, but these are the games where they will step up.
"Yet if they are not playing well and still are second in the league, then we don't want to catch them on a good day.
"But we have just got to go there and play with no fear, express ourselves and then the best performance will come out.
"We need to get something there and the way we are playing away from home, we can beat anyone."
It remains to be seen whether captain Cesc Fabregas will have recovered from his latest hamstring injury to face the Red Devils, with the Spain midfielder insisting he would take no risks by coming back too soon.
Left-back Kieran Gibbs badly twisted his ankle last night, leaving Emirates Stadium on crutches, and the England international faces another frustrating spell on the sidelines.
Wenger could elect to hand Robin van Persie a second successive start at Old Trafford after the Dutchman - back to match fitness following his own ankle problems - produced an impressive display against Partizan, scoring a first goal of the season from the penalty spot.

Blackhawks come from behind to top Red Wings
Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook enjoys playing against the rival Detroit Red Wings.
On Friday night, he helped beat them.
Seabrook scored a goal to break a tie early in the third period, and the Blackhawks defeated Detroit 3-2.
Seabrook ripped in the game-winner 1:52 into the third when he fired from the blue line and overpowered Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard with a rising shot that sailed over his glove.
The goal was Seabrook's second this season, but in 42 career games against the Red Wings he has seven goals and 18 assists.
''It was a great pass by Kaner (Patrick Kane),'' Seabrook said. ''I sort of buried my head and shot it as hard as I could.
I don't know what it is; it's always fun playing against these guys. They're always a big rivalry for us, so it's nice to come out with an effort the way we did tonight and get a big two points.''
Marian Hossa scored and Jonathan Toews connected on a penalty shot for Chicago, which improved to 10-2-1 in its past 13 before a season-high crowd of 22,166 at the United Center.
The win gave Chicago a league-high 52 points. The Blackhawks, in first place in the Central Division, opened a five-point lead on second-place Detroit.
''Hossa had a monster game, as Johnny did,'' Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said.
Toews scored on the first penalty shot attempt by a Blackhawks player this season, and the second of his career. He was stopped on his first career penalty shot in March 2009 against Edmonton.
''It was nice to get a second chance on the penalty shot, and I made no mistake there,'' Toews said.
Hossa has points in nine of his past 10 games and has six goals and nine assists during the stretch.
''It's pretty easy to get pumped up when the crowd goes crazy like that before the puck drops,'' Hossa said. ''They're (games versus Detroit) always close, tight game you want to play as a hockey player.''
Detroit coach Mike Babcock agreed with Quenneville, citing Hossa and Toews as ''dominant.''
But Babcock wasn't happy with the performance of Detroit's top forwards as the Red Wings got goals from Justin Abdelkader and Todd Bertuzzi.
Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen - usually potent in games against Chicago - combined for only one shot.
''Anyway you look at it, that's not good enough,'' Babcock said. ''We didn't have enough sustained pressure in their zone.
''It's a one-shot game. You know it's going to be like that coming in.''
Chicago's Corey Crawford made 26 saves. Howard stopped 25 shots.
The Blackhawks and Red Wings met for the first time in 2011-12, marking the latest the ''Original Six'' rivals had faced each other for the first time in a season since 1928-29.
Abdelkader opened the scoring 9:48 in when he plowed to the net and popped in a loose puck before Crawford could dive out and cover it.
Drew Miller's shot hit Blackhawks defenseman Sean O'Donnell, then fell at the edge of the crease to set up the goal.
Toews tied it at 1 on his penalty shot with 5:28 left in period. He skated straight in, delayed an instant and fired a low shot under Howard's right pad.
Toews was awarded the attempt after being hooked lightly from behind by Detroit's defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom on a breakaway.
Bertuzzi was credited with a goal at 5:25 of the second to put Detroit ahead 2-1.
Mike Commodore ripped a slap shot into traffic from the blue line and it glanced in off Bertuzzi, who was in front of the crease.
Hossa tied it at 2 just over two minutes later.
After skating across the top of the Detroit zone, he turned down the left wing and beat Howard from the circle.
Set up by Toews, Hossa fired at an open net with just under six minutes left in the second, but Lidstrom blocked the shot.
After Seabrook put Chicago ahead 3-2, the Red Wings took three penalties that hindered any comeback attempt.
Crawford was sharp when he had to be to preserve the lead, and Zetterberg backhanded a close-in shot off the post with 7:40 left.
Notes: Chicago RW Jimmy Hayes made his NHL debut. The Blackhawks recalled the 6-foot-6 22-year-old from Rockford of the AHL on Thursday. ... Blackhawks LW Daniel Carcillo returned after missing six games with an upper-body injury. Chicago C Marcus Kruger (concussion) missed his second straight game. ... Detroit recalled C Gustav Nyquist from Grand Rapids on Thursday to take the roster spot of LW Tomas Holmstrom, who was placed on IR with a groin injury. Red Wings C Darren Helm also sat out Friday with a groin injury. ... Red Wings RW Dan Cleary got his 200th assist on Abdelkader's goal. ... Toews' penalty shot was the first by a Blackhawk since Hossa scored on Jan. 23, 2011.

Movie News
Could THE LOST CITY OF Z be holding Benedict Cumberbatch back from STAR WARS: EPISODE VII!?!?
Hey Yo, Draven here.
We heard earlier this week that Benedict Cumberbatch was rumored to be close to signing onto STAR WARS: EPISODE VII, but that he had a prior commitment he could not get out of. Well now we might have an idea as to what that commitment is, as Deadline is reporting that Cumberbatch is going to be starring in THE LOST CITY OF Z. This project has been developing for years now and Brad Pitt was originally set to star as Percy Fawcett but it looks like Paramount is serious about getting it off the ground with James Grey still set to write and direct.
THE LOST CITY OF Z is based on a best-selling 2008 book (which itself was an expansion of this great New Yorker article) written by David Grann. It tells the true story of Percy Fawcett, who in 1925 while mapping the Amazon jungle, claimed to have found a lost city that he called Z. People were skeptical of him, so he got a group together and attempted to recreate his journey. The group was never seen again and over the last century, several other groups have attempted to find their remains or evidence of the existence of THE LOST CITY OF Z. Nothing has ever been found and it remains an exploration mystery.
This is obviously great material for a film adaptation and Cumberbatch seems like a great fit for this film. James Grey is also a great writer and director so I actually hope Cumberbatch sticks with this and forgets about STAR WARS. Stay tuned though as we should have some clarification.

Abdul Wahab
Life 100
Layers after layers
Sucked up all the elements of light
In the abyss
A crone lies in the dark, pitch
Mystery of the mysteries
No mind over there ever reached
Mother of all curiosities
Lower of the lowest
Sad of the saddest wave
Unparalleled taste of the bust
Brighter than the brightest
No heart over there ever reached
In the zenith
A beautiful fairy resides
Wonder and surprises
Higher than the highest
Joy and delight
I know both of them
Joy and sorrow
I am an unravelling river
Cruising and Caressing
the contour
Epoch and nadir
Dodging the radar
Of the fatalist and gay feaster.

USF uses bye week for quarterback battle
The battle for backup quarterback of the USF football team is getting heated, after senior quarterback B.J. Daniels broke his left leg and sprained his right ankle against Connecticut on Saturday, ending his season and career at USF.
Redshirt freshman Matt Floyd, who filled in for Daniels on Saturday, and junior Bobby Eveld will compete for the starting role when the Bulls take on Miami in two weeks. Before the season started, offensive coordinator Todd Fitch said it was important to ready both backups.
I think both of them need to be ready to play, in case theres an injury or something, Fitch said before the season. Im just trying to get them both ready to play and see how it goes from there.
Little did Fitch know how true it would ring as the Bulls head into their second bye week of the season.
In one play, the USF football team was forced to go from focusing on the present to looking toward the future. In one play, the second bye week of the season became infinitely more valuable, as the team looks to prepare a backup quarterback to take the role of starter.
Weve got two quarterbacks that are competing, coach Skip Holtz said. Theyre rolling in every four plays, and were going to let them work it out this week and let the best quarterback win. We want to get someone who gives us the best opportunity to win down the stretch.
Both Eveld and Floyd hold their own advantages in the battle. Eveld has previous experience in his favor, while Floyd has recent playing time on his side.
Eveld played against Miami in the last two match ups, and led the Bulls to a 23-20 overtime win in 2010 coming in after the half and going eight-for-20 for 120 yards and leading the offense on a game-winning touchdown drive in overtime.
Holtz said Evelds previous appearances against Miami will not factor into the decision for who will start Nov. 17 against the Hurricanes.
Its going to be whoever plays the best this week, Holtz said. I dont think you can say, Well Bobby played down there and go ahead and play him. I think it will be predicated over the next three days.
Floyd, who redshirted a season ago when Eveld stepped in for Daniels for the second time against Miami, came into the game against Connecticut when Daniels was injured on Saturday and has been listed as the backup quarterback. Eveld, meanwhile, has not played and was expected to redshirt this season.
I told Bobby I would give him a redshirt if I could because I thought he could benefit from a redshirt year, Holtz said. I said the same thing with (senior running back) Lindsey Lamar, and the next week (Marcus) Shaw was out 4 to 6 weeks and he had to step in. We have the obligation to the team to get the player who gives us the best chance to win.
In the past two weeks, the Bulls have lost their top two rushers for the season, seniors Daniels and Lamar.
Junior receiver Terrence Mitchell said the results of the injuries are both positive and negative.
It wont do anything but help Matt or Bobby, because they will get some more experience before next
season, he said. I cant really tell you how our offense will unravel now, because B.J. was the key and leader, so we need to try and find our identity now.
With the quarterback battle from the preseason renewed, this time with a greater importance, the second bye week of the season looks to be right on time for the Bulls, as Eveld and Floyd will use the time to battle for the starting quarterback role.
If theres a clear winner after three days, then well say, Hes our guy and give him all the reps, Holtz said. But if its still balanced after three days we might let them continue to compete for a couple more days. I dont know yet. Im trying to bite into these three days and then go from there.

HAVANA — Cuba says it will fire at least half a million state workers by mid-2011 and will free up private enterprise to help them find new work — radically remaking employment on the communist island.
The layoffs will start immediately and run through the first half of next year, according to an announcement Monday by the nearly 3 million-strong Cuban Workers Confederation — the only labor union the government tolerates.
To soften the blow, it said the government would authorize simultaneous increases in job opportunities in the non-state sector, allowing more Cubans to become self-employed, to form cooperatives run by employees rather than government bureaucrats and to increase private control of state land and infrastructure through long-term leases.

La Opinión: Why Kevin McCarthy Won't Lead on Immigration
Lea en español
The election of Congressman Kevin McCarthy as House Majority Leader on Thursday should have been a good sign for immigration reform, since the California Congressman is one of the Republicans who has supported it.
But you shouldn't expect much from the new leader.
McCarthy's rise from third to second in the legislative leadership is a sign of internal connections and alliances formed during the eight years he has been in Congress. But it doesn't necessarily mean that House Republicans have accepted the new leader's agenda. Chances are it's the other way around.
The issue of immigration reform continues to represent a sea of contradictions for many Republican Congressmen who are afraid that if they vote for reasonable legislation, they'll lose the support of conservatives in the next election. At the same time, they don't want to appear to be against an issue that is so important to Latino voters. That's why they say they recognize that immigration laws are outdated and need to be changed, but are also wary of President Obama precisely because they say he is not implementing those outdated laws.
It stands to reason that this logic should lead to change, to updated laws that the president will be able to implement. But instead, Republicans are resorting to politicking, which neither solves the problems with the old laws nor addresses alleged executive inaction.
Their only interest is to exploit the immigration issue for electoral purposes.
In the longterm, McCarthy's new position of leadership could mean hope for reform. But right now, he knows that his immediate future depends on not upsetting the more conservative wing of his party. And the way to do that is to save immigration reform for another time.

Car sales in EU sagging; year-to-date lowest since records began in 1990
David McHugh, The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, September 17, 2013 6:11AM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, September 17, 2013 10:25AM EDT
FRANKFURT, Germany -- Car sales in Europe are still sagging despite the return of modest economic growth.
For the first eight months of the year, passenger car sales in the European Union were off 5.2 per cent to 7.84 million compared with the same period last year, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association said Tuesday. That's the lowest January-August figure since the group started keeping track in 1990.
New car registrations in August fell 5 per cent from a year ago to 653,872, the association said.
The economy in the 28-country EU grew 0.4 per cent in the second quarter, ending a recession. But the unemployment rate remains high at 11.0 per cent, making many consumers unable or afraid to buy a new car.
Governments hit by the eurozone debt crisis have cut back on spending and raised taxes to try to manage oversized debt levels, slowing their economies. The hardest hit countries, such as Greece and Spain, face even higher jobless rates that have hurt sales of moderately priced vehicles especially hard. Luxury carmakers are doing better.
The August downturn was distributed across Europe's biggest markets. Germany saw a 5.5 per cent drop, despite a stronger economy than in other members of the 17-county eurozone. Registrations fell 10.5 per cent in France, 18.3 per cent in Spain, and 6.6 per cent in Italy.
Britain's was the only major market to expand, rising 10.5 per cent.
Analyst Carlos Da Silva at IHS Automotive said the figures suggested the market was bottoming out because the decline had slowed from 9.7 per cent in the first three months of the year.
"Decline is still on the menu but the rate of descent has nearly been halved," he said.
Global auto executives remain cautious, however. They said in interviews at the Frankfurt Auto Show last week that while the European market may have reached the bottom, they do not see any significant increase in demand this year.
The European market contrasts with a rebound in the United States, where figures show sales are on track to reach 16 million vehicles a year -- the level from before the recession. European annual sales were 15.6 million in 2007 -- but are heading for just under 12 million for all of this year.
Among the major carmakers, Germany's Volkswagen Group was off 11.2 per cent in August while France's PSA Peugeot Citroen slid 17.3 per cent. Renault Group rose 6.0 per cent and General Motors was up 0.5 per cent -- as a large jump in sales of Chevrolet-branded vehicles made up for a 3.4 per cent fall in sales of its main European Opel and Vauxhall brands. Ford was off 1.5 per cent.
Luxury brands did better. Daimler's Mercedes was up 8.9 per cent, excluding its compact Smart city car, and BMW AG rose 9.5 per cent, excluding its Mini brand. However, VW's Audi luxury brand, a chief competitor for Mercedes and BMW, was off 5.6 per cent.
The biggest market share over the first eight months remained with Volkswagen Group, including the company's other brands such as Audi, Seat and Skoda, with 24.9 per cent, up slightly from 24.8 per cent.
The auto association also issued figures for July, which showed a 5 per cent increase over the previous year. July had one more working day than the previous July, while August had one less. In July, the only major market to shrink was Italy, which was down 1.6 per cent. The association releases figures for July and August together.
The figures excluded Croatia, which only joined the EU on July 1.

Lay of the land: A file picture of a forest reserve at Pedu Dam where logging has allegedly been carried out.
ALOR SETAR: More than half of Kedah's 300,000ha forest reserves is suitable for logging activities, said state Forestry Department director Ku Azmi Ku Azman.
He said 180,000ha can be gazetted as production forest and allowed to be logged while the rest would be gazetted as protected forest.
Of the area – almost six times the size of Penang island – 80% is secondary forest.
Ku Azmi said some of these areas had already been logged between 30 and 35 years ago.
He said the size may seem huge but the concessionaries would only practise selective logging and replanting of the area.
He added that the size was only an estimate as the state government would need to provide a feedback on the matter.
"A logged area cannot be touched for between 30 and 35 years to allow the replanted trees to grow.
"The protest on several logging areas during the Pakatan Rakyat era was due to no clear indicators on the status of the logged land.
"Since Barisan Nasional took over the state administration last year, no new logging licences have been issued except for those already approved by the previous government," he said, adding that the department had completed a detailed study on the matter including a new guideline on logging in the state and would submit the report to Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir today.
On the allegation of rampant logging activities near the Pedu water catchment area, Ku Azmi said the logging tender was approved during the Pakatan era.
Also present were state Local Government, Water Supply, Water Resources and Energy, Housing and Human Capital Committee chairman Badrol Hisham Hashim and Pedu assemblyman Kama Noriah Ibrahim. Badrol Hisham said the department would hold a special briefing for villagers in the Pedu and Kuala Nerang areas about logging activities being carried out there. He said the briefing was to clear any misconception about logging activities that were highlighted by several Opposition blogs.
He added concessionaries had their permits approved by the previous state government.

Also Known As: Camas is also known as Quamash, Indian hyacinth, and Wild hyacinth.
Camases are liliaceous, perennial herbs that grow from an edible bulb. They grow in the wild in great numbers in moist meadows; they are perennial plants with basal linear leaves measuring 8 to 32 inches (20–80 cm) in length, which emerge early in the spring.
They grow to a height of 12 to 50 inches (30–130 cm), with a multi-flowered stem rising above the main plant in summer. The six-petaled flowers vary in color from pale lilac or white to deep purple or blue-violet. They sometimes color whole meadows.
Camas flowers have 6 tepals, 6 stamens, and 3 stigmas. The inflorescence is a spike-like cluster borne on a leafless stem that is held above the leaves.
Common camas blooms from April through June. The fruits are barrel-shaped to three-angled capsules, splitting into three parts to release many black, angled seeds.
Scientific Classification:
Place a large bowl half full of water, microwave on high till it comes to a boil. Remove and clean oven with a moist cloth, to remove grime and grease. Clean then as usual with warm soapy water dipped cloth.
Foods labeled "organic" can be either:
100% organic: They're completely organic or made of all organic ingredients.
Organic: They're at least 95% organic.
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the special was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99. "Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."
"Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.
"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" my wife asked incredulously. "I'll take the special."
"How do you want your eggs?"
"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied. She took the two eggs home.

Families were traumatised by yesterday's flood disaster, Sergeant Rob Crawford says.
He met evacuated families as they were flown into Tapawera, firstly at the emergency base at the fire station and later at the playing fields by the Tapawera rugby clubrooms.
"We are lucky there has not been loss of life or serious injury," he said.
Some highway travellers between Motueka and Tapawera came close to it when a flash flood at 11am nearly caught them. One was on a scooter and others in a four-wheel-drive.
"A few more seconds and they would have ended up in the Motueka River."
Many evacuees were in tears over their ordeal and the damage to their homes. They were assessed by Red Cross, and help from Victim Support was being arranged.
Red Cross Tasman area manager Fraser Benson said those evacuated were registered and provided with hot drinks and food. Many Tapawera residents had offered them places to stay, as had the pub.
The welfare centre closed at 5.30pm.
Up to 20 households were isolated and the Summit Rescue Helicopter made repeated trips to transport 13 evacuees to Tapawera, but some families opted to stay. The crew winched down to a family at Stoney Creek whose home was above the river but unable to be reached by road. They had supplies and chose not to leave.
St John Ambulance team leader Jon Leach said he helped pull 12 families out of the area yesterday, many with homes awash with mud and debris.
"Some of the houses were just absolutely saturated, but they are a pretty resilient lot up there."
Inspector Iain McKenzie was hopeful almost all the families would be able to return to their homes today. However, there were two or three properties more severely damaged.
"One was described as having a river running through it."
Mr McKenzie said the action taken was a real testament to the community and the more than 30 volunteers that helped during the day.
Insurance assessors would be looking at the damaged properties over the next 24 hours.
Mr McKenzie warned roads would be greasy for some time and people needed to drive to the conditions. It was the fourth-largest flood on record for the Baton River. At one stage 17 millimetres of rain fell in 15 minutes.
Weather forecaster John Mathieson said about 122mm had fallen in Nelson this month, well above the average May rainfall of 77.7mm – most in the past few days.
Mr Mathieson wasn't surprised by the deluge, having predicted the occurrence of a low coming from the North Tasman and sitting off Farewell Spit. Nelson was sheltered from every direction except from the northeast, he said.
Mr Mathieson said there had been only 4mm of rain in the 12 hours until 6am today. He did not expect continuing weather problems for those trying to clean up from flooding.
"Conditions are on the wane and starting to clear now. The rest of the week will be fairly good through until about Saturday."

Return to the City of Death,
This review is from: Doctor Who: Demon Quest: Demon of Paris v. 2 (Audio CD)
One of Tom Baker's best televised stories was City Of Death, which was set and filmed in Paris. So having his Doctor have another adventure set in the French capital will immediately invite comparison with that classic story. Thankfully, it doesn't try to copy that classic in any way and it generates an excellent atmosphere that really immerses the listener in the setting of Paris in the 18th century through excellent sound effects, music and (mostly)convincing french accents. Having myself a real fondness for Paris and having been to many of the locations used in this story, I found myself warming to this tale much more than the previous installment in this saga, The Relics of Time, which I found a bit underwhelming. The tone is decidedly more sombre and chilling, not surprising given it's subject matter is a demonic killer on the loose, Jack-the Ripper style, and also more adult with it's depictions of the Moulin Rouge, and Toulouse Le Trec with his fondness for absinthe. It's probably the most adult and serious of all the recent Tom Baker audios, although wether it really feels like proper Dr Who is debatable. Tom Baker is on great form again, although we don't hear as much of him this time around as the narration is done by Susan Jameson's Mrs Wibbsey, but she makes a fine job of it.
Overall, The Demon Of Paris is a great improvement over the first episode, it's a little grim with not much of the traditional sci-fi trappings of most classic Dr Who stories, but it's an absorbing listen with a good atmosphere and good period feel.

Medical conference focuses on innovation
Send this story to a friend
Innovation in medicine is saving lives – and not always at a higher cost, Dr. Tony Farah, chief medical officer at Allegheny General Hospital, said at a conference on Monday.
In fact, advancements in treating heart disease is saving lives that otherwise would be lost while also preserving quality of life, said Farah, an interventional cardiologist and organizer of the conference at Allegheny General.
"Regardless of reform, there are many reasons to believe that our costs won't escalate as badly as we've been led to believe," he said.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allocates some $31 billion for health information technology, mostly electronic medical records, which will reduce the amount of time doctors and nurses spend settling insurance matters. Lower administrative costs will actually reduce health care costs, he said.
At the same time, the need for heart care is rising, he said: the first of the baby boomers turns 65 in 2011, driving the elderly population to some 30 million by 2050, he said.
Sponsoring the event with Allegheny General was the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions. The conference was designed to explore the benefits and costs of cutting-edge technology and how medical care could be shaped by health care reform.
