Change can be good. Heidelberg's psychology department recently changed its curriculum to offer students more high-impact opportunities such as the Junior Year Experience. Students choose between working an internship, studying abroad or conducting a research project. Juniors Ashley Dean, Amber Caldarelli and Kayla Graves decided that research was the way to go.
Ashley and Amber worked together on their research project, titled The Relationship between the Participation in Greek Life and Happiness among College Students. Conducting a research project requires a lot of time, but both girls believe the benefits are worth the effort. "This project helped my paper writing skills, my analytical skills and my ability to look at things from a clinical and research standpoint," said Amber.
When their research was completed, they submitted it to the Midwestern Psychological Association Conference being held in Chicago this May. The MPA conference is held annually to showcase professional psychologists' research. Amber and Ashley were excited to be accepted and will be presenting their research at a poster session for Psi Chi – the national psychology honorary.
Kayla also decided the research option was the best fit for her. "I chose this option because I thought it would be hard to conduct research," she said. "It was a better opportunity to learn."
Her project, Sexual Hookups among College Students: Prevalence and Emotional Reactions, created an additional learning experience when she had to work with the university's Institutional Review Board to develop her research methods. The IRB oversees ethical policy concerning human research. Kayla's topic was delicate and the IRB made suggestions for her anonymous survey. "Seeing the whole process was frustrating, but fun," Kayla said. "It was a challenge."
Dr. Virginia "Ginny" Gregg believes the Junior Year Experience first year has been a success. "The students have been able to work independently very well," she said. "I've been here to answer questions and provide guidance, but they're handling most of it by themselves."
This fall the students will present their Junior Year Experiences to underclassman at the first Psychology Day. It will foster communication between upper and underclassmen and help next year's class start thinking about their own Junior Year Experience. "It's a way of giving back to the students," said Gregg.
No matter what option students choose, the benefits of the Junior Year Experience will reach far into their careers. "I've developed strengths that I can use when I graduate," said Ashley. That is what Heidelberg University wants for all its students.

BW065: Evolution Exchange Excitement!
this wiki
Episode Plot
After the events of the last episode because of Team Rocket, and restoring the Chargestone Cave, home of Galvantula and Joltik, Ash and co. arrive at Prof. Juniper's base camp at Chargestone Cave. Bianca is now ready to trade her Shelmet for an Escavalier Prof. Juniper caught as a Karrablast by using the Pokémon Trade Machine. But first, they have to record the data of Shelmet and Karrablast before the trade by having a Pokémon battle. Suddenly, the battle is halted when a sudden electrical wave comes from the cavern. They soon discover the source: a Klinklang in Area 7. When they examine the Gear Pokémon, they notice its gears are stuck because of a pen caught between them. After Professor Juniper pulls the pen out of Klinklang's gears, everything reverts back to normal as Ash and co. go back to base camp to let the Evolution Exchange begin. The trade is successful, but when Bianca wants to try out her new Pokémon, it evolved into an Escavalier for some reason. What happened to make it possible? Why won't Bianca's Escavalier obey her?
- Cedric Juniper
- Klinklang
- Klink
- Karrablast
- Escavalier
- Trade Machine V 5.0
- The way Shelmet and Karrablast evolve sounds near similar to another method of evolution explained in IL066: The Evolution Solution.
- Karrablast would use the shell Shelmet discards as armor as an Escavalier, whereas, as an Accelgor, Shelmet would gain incredible speed from not carrying the shell anymore.
- Bianca had the same problem that Ash had with his Charmeleon in IL044: The Problem with Paras and Dawn had with Piloswine (which now evolved into Mamoswine) in DP106: A Breed Stampede! : Her newly evolved Escavalier had gone berserk and wouldn't obey her.
- Cedric Juniper did not appear until the end of the episode.
- This is the first episode to depict an evolution by trading.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Shelmet on the Pokédex since it's debut in BW051: Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!.
- This is the second time Ash looked up on a Pokémon in its final evolved form on the Pokédex since BW018: Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest
- This is the second time a person looked up Accelgor on the Pokédex. First was Ash he looked up in BW059: The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue! when one Accelgor is with a partner name Charles back in Driftveil City.
- This is the second time Ash and Cilan are put in a Pokémon Tag Battle since BW053: Lost at the Stamp Rally! when they both battle against Ingo and Emmet: The Subway Bosses of Nimbasa City and lost. This time, they win against Professor Juniper and Bianca.
- This is the second time the soundtrack opening title of Arceus and the Jewel of Life is used when Ash and co. are about to have a Tag Battle. First was BW064: Crisis at Chargestone Cave!.
- This is the third consecutive episode to feature the evolution of a main or recurring character's Pokémon, with Bianca's newly-traded Karrablast evolving into Escavalier.
- This is also the second consecutive episode to feature the evolution of a main or recurring character's Bug-type Pokémon (Cilan's Dwebble evolved in the last episode).
- This episode currently holds the record for most Pokédex entries in a single episode (the Pokémon being scanned are: Shelmet, Karrablast, Klink, Klinklang, Accelgor and Escavalier).
- This is the fifth episode to depict a trade on-screen.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Duosion
- Who's That Pokémon?: Shelmet (Japan), Karrablast (U.S.)
- When Ash looked at Klink in the Pokédex, it said Klang

Some key lawmakers say the reports have raised questions about how the Maine Turnpike Authority compensates its employees.
In the wake of reports from a private think tank and an independent legislative office, the Maine Turnpike Authority is likely to face proposals to abolish it, or make significant changes in the way it operates.
Republican state Sen. Roger Katz of Augusta, who co-chairs the Legislature's Government Oversight Committee, says the reports have raised concerns.
"The Turnpike Authority does a great job at its core function of providing 109 miles of road each way, and does it in a very effective way--it's the best road in the state of Maine," Katz told Capitol News Service. "Having said that, there are some real issues here about the other two percent of their functioning, in terms of how they're spending their money, how they're compensating their top people."
Many executives at the Turnpike Authority make more than the state's transportation commissioner, and toll takers make more than most teachers.
Katz says he expects the Legislature's Transportation Committee to take a close look at how the MTA operates and to try to shift more toll money for road projects. While state law requires that any turnpike surplus be turned over to the state to help fix other roads, Katz says the MTA has made sure there is no surplus to turn over.

Summary:Real-life cowboy Ron Woodroof's free-wheeling life was upended in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. Shunned by many of his old friends and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, Ron decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts, establishing a hugely successful buyers' club.

The report says the 66-year-old airplane, based at Twitchell's Airport in Turner, was running with the original engine.
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) _ Investigators say engine failure may be to blame for the fatal crash of a small plane last summer 100 yards from the historic Portland Head Light.
Dr. Louis Hanson was unresponsive when he was recovered from the water after his Stinson S108 splashed down on June 24 off Cape Elizabeth.
The Sun Journal says the National Transportation Safety Board found that the lower portion of one of the pistons had fractured, causing metal pieces to enter the engine's camshaft.
The factual report, which didn't draw any final conclusions, says the airplane was built in 1946 and had its original engine. The NTSB says Hanson told air traffic controllers before crashing that he'd experienced a total power loss and was not going to be able to glide back to shore.

Give your castings the look and feel of marble, wood, or metal with ArtMolds powders.
Pure Bronze Metal Powder — This powder is a fine grade of 325 mesh, the ideal degree of fineness for cold casting. Add it to polyester or polyurethane resin, epoxy, gypsum cement, or other binders to create the authentic look and feel of a hot metal foundry casting. Following abrading and/or burnishing, the finished piece can be patinated or allowed to naturally oxidize for an antique look.
Pecan Shell Powder — This lightweight powder is used to make resins lighter, thicker, and more sandable, and give molded pieces the appearance of wood. Combine it with epoxy, vinyl ester, polyester, or polyurethane resins for making fillets or filling wood. It also can be used for rebuilding rotten or termite-damaged wood.
White Marble Powder — Mix with ArtMolds CastRite to create a luminous simulated marble finish on lifecasting art and more. Polishing the finished work with several coats of wax will add to its luster and render a just-carved look.

This project will replace 26 analog microwave transmitters and 28 microwave receivers that had been in significant need of repairs across the state.
The Maine Association of Broadcasters announced the recipients of the 2012 MAB News and Creative Awards at the MAB convention in Bangor honoring the best of Maine broadcasting. The Maine Public Broadcasting Network received five awards across a broad range of specialties in the competition's Radio Category.
Building on the success of MPBN's previous Thursday One-Day Radio Pledge Drives, the statewide network is launching another single day fund-raising effort on Thursday, October 25th. The "Super Thursday" format taps into MPBN's listener commitment and dedication to MPBN programming, and their enthusiasm to keep the programs interruption-free as much as possible.
The 35th Boston/New England Emmy Award nominations have been announced, and five programs from the Maine Public Broadcasting Network garnered nominations. The Boston/New England Emmy Awards recognize the best work being done in Television throughout Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Upstate New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
MPBN's first ever Super Thursday One-Day Radio Pledge Drive last fall beat all records for listener support, and raised it in the shortest time ever. The statewide network is now looking to tap into its listener commitment and dedication to MPBN programming, and their enthusiasm to keep the programs interruption-free as much as possible, to help raise member support that is more vital than ever during its upcoming Spring Membership Campaign.

Nude Beach Etiquette (Crazy News Quiz)
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Mar 4 2010 1:57PM
I'll never forget the first (and only) time I visited a nude beach. I was new here.....just moved up from California. Having grown up in a beach town, I missed the beach soooo much more that I thought I would. My friends took me to a beach (can't remember the name) on the Columbia and we went for a long walk.....a really long walk.....and somehow, we missed the clothing optional sign....but we certainly could not miss the guy who had opted for no clothes that day! Being caught by surprise, I'm sure we broke the important "no gawking" rule...but did you know there are other rules of etiquette when visiting a nude beach? If you're planning a trip to Rooster Rock or Sauvie Island once the weather warms up....read & learn!
Leave your dog HOME! Dogs like to sniff strangers. Enough said.
Gawking is impolite. If you want to go to the nudist beach for a thrill, do everyone a favor and buy a magazine instead.
Ask for people's consent before taking their photograph nude.
If you're sunbathing nude in a secluded area, leave a bathing suit on a rock to let others know they are approaching an unclothed person. If you're uncomfortable having your suit out of reach, bring a spare.
On a wide open beach, position yourself in the open so you can see people coming and put something on before they get there if you need to.
Get dressed before you leave the nudist beach.
Be friendly, but respect others' rights to privacy.
Avoid sexual activity. It's illegal and offensive.
Advances of an unwelcome or unwanted nature are not acceptable anywhere, and especially at a nudist beach.
Be Prepared. Sometimes, the nudist beach doesn't have any amenities. Bring water, food, towel, sunscreen and anything else you need.
Keep the nudist beach clean. If you carried it in, carry it back out.

Bermuda is an archipelago consisting of seven main islands and many smaller islands and islets lying about 1,050 kilometers (650 mi.) east of North Carolina. The main islands--with hilly terrain and subtropical climate--are clustered together, connected by bridges, and are considered to be a geographic unit, referred to as the Island of Bermuda.
Bermuda was discovered in 1503 by a Spanish explorer, Juan de Bermudez, who made no attempt to land because of the treacherous reef surrounding the uninhabited islands.
In 1609, a group of British colonists led by George Somers was shipwrecked and stranded on the islands for 10 months. Their reports aroused great interest about the islands in England, and in 1612 King James extended the Charter of the Virginia Company to include them. Later that year, about 60 British colonists arrived and founded the town of St. George, the oldest continuously inhabited English-speaking settlement in the Western Hemisphere. When representative government was introduced to Bermuda in 1620, it became a self-governing colony.
Due to the islands' isolation, for many years Bermuda remained an outpost of 17th-century British civilization, with an economy based on the use of the islands' endemic cedar trees for shipbuilding and the salt trade. Hamilton, a centrally located port founded in 1790, became the seat of government in 1815.
Slaves from Africa were brought to Bermuda soon after the colony was established. The slave trade was outlawed in Bermuda in 1807, and all slaves were freed in 1834. Today, about 61% of Bermudians are of African descent.
The establishment of a formal constitution in 1968 bolstered internal self-government; debate about independence ensued, although a 1995 independence referendum was defeated. The government re-opened the independence debate in 2004.
Bermuda is the oldest self-governing overseas territory in the British Commonwealth. Its 1968 constitution provides the island with formal responsibility for internal self-government, while the British Government retains responsibility for external affairs, defense, and security. The Bermudian Government is consulted on any international negotiations affecting the territory. Bermuda participates, through British delegations, in the UN and some of its specialized and related agencies.
Government Structure
Queen Elizabeth II is head of state and is represented in Bermuda by a governor, whom she appoints. Internally, Bermuda has a parliamentary system of government.
The premier is head of government and leader of the majority party in the House of Assembly. The cabinet is composed of ministers selected by the premier from among members of the House of Assembly and the Senate.
The 36-member House is elected from 36 electoral districts (one representative from each district) for a term not to exceed 5 years. The Senate, or reviewing house, serves concurrently with the House and has 11 members--five appointed by the governor in consultation with the premier, three by the opposition leader, and three at the governor's discretion.
The judiciary is composed of a chief justice and associate judges appointed by the governor.
For administrative purposes, Bermuda is divided into nine parishes, with Hamilton and St. George considered autonomous corporations.
Political Conditions
Bermuda's first political party, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), was formed in May 1963 with predominantly black adherents. In 1965, the two-party system was launched with the formation of the United Bermuda Party (UBP), which had the support of the majority of white voters and of some black voters. A third party, the Bermuda Democratic Party (BDP), was formed in the summer of 1967 with a splinter group from the PLP as a nucleus; it disbanded in 1970. It was later replaced by the National Liberal Party (NLP), which has since disbanded. In the fall of 2009 several UBP parliamentarians broke away from the party and in November formed a third party, the Bermuda Democratic Alliance (BDA).
Bermuda's first election held on the basis of universal adult suffrage and equal voting took place on May 22, 1968; previously, the franchise had been limited to property owners. In the 1968 election, the UBP won 30 House of Assembly seats, while the PLP won 10 seats and the BDP lost the 3 seats it had previously held. The UBP continued to maintain control of the government, although by decreasing margins in the Assembly, until 1998 when the PLP won the general election for the first time.
Following a bitter and divisive general election on December 18, 2007--which many predicted would be very close--the PLP under Premier Ewart Brown was returned to power with the same number of seats as it had going into the election. The opposition UBP lost its third successive election. The UBP elected member of parliament Kim Swan as opposition leader and Cole Simons as deputy. Mr. Swan is a first-time member of parliament whose previous public service was as a UBP senator.
Unsatisfied aspirations, particularly among young blacks, led to a brief civil disturbance in December 1977, following the execution of two men found guilty of the 1972-73 assassinations of Governor Richard Sharples and four others. In the 1980s, the increasing prosperity of Bermudians, combined with limited land area, caused a housing shortage. Despite a general strike in 1981 and economic downturn in the early 1980s, Bermuda's social, political, and economic institutions remained stable.
The PLP and UBP have both discussed the possibility of complete independence. An independence referendum called by a sharply divided UBP in the summer of 1995 was resoundingly defeated and resulted in the resignation of the premier and UBP leader, John Swan. Just over 58% of the electorate voted in the independence referendum, with over 73% voting against independence and only 25% in favor.
Eventual independence from the United Kingdom (U.K.) has been a goal of the PLP since the party's inception in 1963. In February 2004 then-Premier (and PLP party leader) Alex Scott announced his decision to commence an open and objective debate on the subject of independence. The government-appointed Bermuda Independence Commission held hearings island-wide where there was considerable focus on the mechanics of deciding independence, whether through an independence referendum, a general election, or some combination of the two. However, several recent polls indicated little support for independence.
Currently citizens of Britain's overseas territories, including Bermuda, are entitled to British citizenship. The British Overseas Territories Bill, passed in February 2002, provides automatic acquisition of British citizenship, including automatic transmission of citizenship to their children; the right of abode, including the right to live and work in the U.K. and the European Union (EU); the right not to exercise or to formally renounce British citizenship; and the right to use the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) channel at the airport. The U.K. has indicated that citizens of an independent Bermuda would no longer be automatically entitled to British citizenship and the EU benefits that accrue to it by this method.
There are no conditions attached to the grant of British citizenship to the overseas territories, a fact of particular importance to Bermuda where the issue of independence is being debated. A 1999 U.K. government White Paper states: "The new grant of British citizenship will not be a barrier, therefore, to those Overseas Territories choosing to become independent of Britain. Our Overseas Territories are British for as long as they wish to remain British. Britain has willingly granted independence where it has been requested; and we will continue to do so where this is an option."
Principal Government Officials
Head of State--Queen Elizabeth II
Governor--Richard Gozney
Premier--Ewart Brown
Bermuda's interests in the U.S. are represented by the United Kingdom, whose embassy is at 3100 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008; tel: 202-588-6500; fax: 202-588-7870. Bermuda also has an office at "Liberty Place," Suite 350, 325 7th Street NW, Washington, DC 20004.
The Bermudian Government's Department of Tourism has offices in London, New York, and Toronto.
Bermuda has enjoyed steady economic prosperity since the end of World War II, although the island has experienced a recession since 2007, paralleling the global economic recession. Bermuda enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Its economy is based primarily upon international business and tourism. In 2009, international business and tourism accounted for 74% of the total balance of payments current account receipts of foreign exchange. However, the role of international business in the economy is expanding, whereas that of tourism is generally contracting.
Bermuda is an important regional and global offshore financial center with a robust financial regulatory system. The Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) is designated as the supervisory and enforcement authority. The government cooperates with the United States and the international community to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing and continues to update its legislation and procedures in conformance with international standards. It is the third-largest reinsurance center in the world and the second-largest captive insurance domicile, with firms based in the jurisdiction writing significant volumes of business in the U.S. and U.K.
In 2009, 15,392 international companies were registered in Bermuda, many U.S.-owned. They are an important source of foreign exchange for the island, and spent an estimated $2 billion in Bermuda in 2009. The growing importance of international business is reflected in its share of GDP. This sector provided $1.543 billion in total output (current market prices), which represents 24% of total GDP, the same as in 2007. International business is no longer the island's largest employer, with 4,433 estimated jobs in 2009, down from 4,761 in 2008. Provisional estimates for 2009 state that there were 4,758 jobs in wholesale and retail and repair services and 4,680 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
Historically important for employment and tax revenue, Bermuda's tourism industry had been experiencing difficulties for many years. The travel industry, particularly the airline sector, has been declining for decades. A total of 559,042 visitors arrived in 2009, a decline of over 100,000 people for the year compared to the 663,767 visitors in 2007, although a slight increase over the 555,162 visitors in 2008. Occupancy rates decreased in 2009 by eight percentage points, with hotel occupancy for the year at 51.1%, down from 59.1% in 2008. Visitors contributed an estimated $331.3 million to the economy in 2009, down from $401.8 million in 2008. This compares to $475 million in 1996.
Bermuda has little in the way of exports or manufacturing; almost all manufactured goods and foodstuffs must be imported. The value of imports rose from $551 million in 1994 to $1.051 billion in 2009. The U.S. is Bermuda's primary trading partner, with $803 million in U.S. imports in 2008. The U.K., Canada, and the Caribbean countries (mainly the Netherlands Antilles) also are important trading partners. Exports from Bermuda, including imports into the small free port that are subsequently re-exported, decreased from $35 million in 1993 to $25 million in 2009.
Duty on imports is a major source of revenue for the Government of Bermuda. In 2009-2010, the government obtained $225.4 million, or 24%, of its revenue base from import duties. Heavy importation duties are reflected in retail prices. Even though import duties are high, wages have kept up for the most part with the cost of living. Poverty was until very recently practically nonexistent; however, in 2007, 11% of the population was below the low-income threshold of $27,046 per year. Although Bermuda imposes no income, sales, or profit taxes, it does levy a real estate tax.
Bermuda is home to immigrants from other countries. According to the 2000 census, 79% of the population is Bermuda-born and 21% is foreign-born. U.K. immigrants comprise 28% of the immigrant population; U.S., 20% (although the U.S. Consulate estimates that the figure is closer to 40%); Canada, 15%; Caribbean, 12%; and Portugal/Azores, 10%. A new census will be conducted in May 2010. In February 1970, Bermuda converted from its former currency, the pound, to a decimal currency of dollars pegged to the U.S. dollar.
The United Kingdom is formally responsible for Bermuda's foreign and defense policy. U.S. policy toward the U.K. is the basis of U.S.-Bermudian relations. In the early 20th century, as modern transportation and communication systems developed, Bermuda became a popular destination for wealthy U.S., British, and Canadian tourists. While the tariff enacted in 1930 by the U.S. against its trading partners ended Bermuda's once-thriving agricultural export trade--primarily fresh vegetables to the U.S.--it helped spur the overseas territory to develop its tourist industry, which is second only to international business in terms of economic importance to the island.
During World War II, Bermuda became a significant U.S. military site because of its location in the Atlantic Ocean. In 1941, the U.S. signed a lend-lease agreement with the U.K. giving the British surplus U.S. Navy destroyers in exchange for 99-year lease rights to establish naval and air bases in Bermuda. The bases consisted of 5.8 square kilometers (2.25 sq. mi.) of land largely reclaimed from the sea. The U.S. Naval Air Station was on St. David's Island, while the U.S. Naval Air Station Annex was at the western end of the island in the Great Sound.
Both bases were closed in September 1995 (as were British and Canadian bases), and the lands were formally returned to the Government of Bermuda in 2002.
The Government of Bermuda has begun to pursue some international initiatives independent of the U.K. in recent years pursuant to a General Entrustment Agreement. Bermuda signed a cultural memorandum of understanding with Cuba in 2003. The island also joined the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) as an associate member in 2003.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) provided search and rescue assistance immediately following Hurricane Fabian in September 2003, but Bermuda declined subsequent offers of reconstruction assistance from the U.S. and U.K., preferring to accept assistance from its Caribbean neighbors. The USCG continues to provide search and rescue assistance as needed.
Bermuda executed its first Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) in 1986 in a treaty between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Bermuda. Bermuda has numerous similar arrangements with other jurisdictions. On January 12, 2009, the United States and the Government of Bermuda signed a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), authorizing authorities in the U.S. and Bermuda to request and obtain assistance from each other in criminal investigations and prosecutions and related administrative and other proceedings. The MLAT provides for cooperation between the U.S. and Bermuda in combating a wide variety of crimes, including economic crimes and money laundering, by facilitating the collection of evidence needed by authorities in one country but located within the other country.
In 2009 the Government of Bermuda offered asylum to four former Uighur Guantanamo Bay detainees, without consulting the U.K., on the basis that the decision was an internal immigration matter. The U.K. countered that security is a matter for which it has jurisdiction. As a result, the U.K. is reviewing the General Entrustment Agreement.
An estimated 8,000 registered U.S. citizens live in Bermuda, many of them employed in the international business community. There also are a large number of American businesses incorporated in Bermuda, although no actual figures are available. Despite the trend of American businesses moving to Bermuda, Bermuda maintains that the island is not a "tax haven" since it taxes both local and foreign businesses equally.
U.S. visitors are critical to the island's tourism industry, but overall the number of U.S. visitors to Bermuda has been declining. In 2009, 459,467 Americans visited. Another 2,222 Americans sailed to the island via private yacht in 2009, a drop from 3,014 in 2008. Air arrivals in particular have dropped, down to 172,648 in 2009, compared to 189,388 in 2008. To some extent that shortfall has been made up by an increase in American cruise ship visitors--286,819 in 2009 compared to 260,289 in 2008.
Areas of opportunity for U.S. investment are principally in the re-insurance and financial services industries, although the former U.S. base lands also may present long-term investment opportunities.

Here's the Lesson Chris Brown Learned from Beating Up Rihanna: "You Can Lose It All"
CHRIS BROWN says he learned a very important lesson after he beat up RIHANNA four years ago . . . quote, "You can lose it all."
--He adds, quote, "I'm not just saying fame or stardom because that's not what it's about. I'm talking about dignity [and] integrity. You know, you lose yourself in a way."
--Chris is NOT blaming his actions on his youth. He was a few months shy of his 20th birthday when that happened, and he says he was old enough to know better.
--He says, quote, "I can tell you I was arrogant and definitely hotheaded. Everybody has a temper, but for me it was not knowing how to control it when I thought I had the world in my hands."
--He also says he's been working hard to earn back Rihanna's trust and prove, quote, "how remorseful and sorry I was." And he says he's, quote, "eternally thankful and grateful" for her support.
Here's the Scoop on the "Independence Day" Sequels
We heard last year that producer DEAN DEVLIN and director ROLAND EMMERICH were working on a sequel to the 1996 alien invasion classic "Independence Day".
--Well, there are actually going to be TWO sequels . . . "ID Forever Part 1" and "ID Forever Part 2" . . . and Emmerich is giving up a little bit of scoop on the plot.
--The sequels pick up 20 years after the first one, and the alien reinforcements have finally shown up, after responding to a distress call from the ones Bill Pullman, Will Smith, Randy Quaid and Jeff Goldblum whooped in '96.
--As for why it takes so long for them to show up, it's all down to sci-fi mumbo-jumbo. Emmerich says, quote, "The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back.
--"And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that's 20 or 25 years."
--As for returning characters, Pullman is coming back. It's not clear if Will Smith will be back . . . but his character's STEPSON will be one of the heroes of the new sequels, along with some other, younger characters.
--Emmerich also says the first sequel will end with a cliffhanger . . . quote, "The first one ends on a little success, but only enough to give the humans hope. And then in the second one they free themselves again [from the aliens]."
