I don't know how anyone in their right mind can say Granger is a disappointment with the 17th pick.
Obviously what we need is to trade Danny for Pooh Richardson and Sam Mitchell. Then trade Tyler for Derek McKey and we're set for a title run!
Seriously though, love Granger, and he actually had a pretty darn good game yesterday if you'll recall.
Who said that? It can't be argued that he was anything but a steal at 17.
True. But that's pretty irrelevant '6 years into' his career.
if his ego will be able to handle that, i'm all for it. but i'm not sure he will accept it.

I don't know about you guys but I love how MG, the Pacers PA announcer says Danny's name after he scores.
There's by DG appeciation there and MG too.
Danny is a huge player for us. We couldn't be where we are now if it wasn't for Danny scoring at will.
In 49 states it's just basketball, but this is Indiana!
Danny Granger is our best player, and deserves to remain with this team as much as the next player whom we drafted and grew and developed into a star player (ahem). After seeing his behavior on the court a few months ago (and since then), I've been turned off on keeping him around simply because he's not leader material, and his attitude is not that of a star-caliber player. He is able to bounce out of a slump mid-game, going from horrible play in the first half, to worthy-of-our-star-quality performance in the second half.
But do you really want to keep someone around who, at Danny's age and experience, can't lead an entire team of first-through-third-year players, with some exceptions? The core of this team is already much younger and less experienced than him, and it's going going to stay that way. If he can't step up into the position of leader, then we need to find someone (not Foster, Dahntay, or Posey) who can be our veteran and lead us properly.
Also, for someone who's been in the league for as long as Granger has, he needs to stop *****ing at refs on bad plays, stop slugging around the court, stop carrying his stupid emotions on his shoulders/sleeves, and just play basketball. You can watch him get hateful on the court and start playing a different kind of Granger basketball, one associated with crybabies and wimps. He needs to step up and realize that he's not a superstar, he's not getting superstar calls, unless he starts playing like a superstar. Nothing he does on the court shows evidence of deserving to be treated like a great player, when he can't even stop acting like a *****, and play professional basketball.
Granger deserves all the accolades given to him by PD. But as our only star player, he needs to start acting like one before he starts playing like one. I don't want to trade him as much as some do, but if we got a much younger, much more professional Steph Curry or Eric Gordon out of a trade using Granger, I think it would be better. Yes, I'd rather see them on the same team, because he's an asset I don't think we can afford to lose, but don't get attached to him just because you "have to" as a fan.
This is me looking past being a homer for once. I do appreciate Granger in all that he does for our team. Trust me. But if he doesn't get his attitude together, and focus his energy on playing, not *****ing at refs, then how is he any better than any other player we can get?
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
I can remember Danny's first game in the NBA and his frist shot was a running jump shot that hit the backboard and went in. ( I might be wrong ). The announcers and the fans were so happy for him . We had so much expectations for him. I personally think he has answered . It is hard for me to believe that after this long and all what he has accomplished there is some Pacers fan dont think he is not good enough.
We have seen him defer to his teammates. We have seen games wherein he was not shooting as much as before and letting his teammates do the damage on offense. It is pretty obvious in game 1, with most of the points scattered on the other starters.
The best quote I can think of is,Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater. Granger is one of the best SF. in the NBA, why trade him?
But if he doesn't carry the team, he has failed? I kind of feel bad for him in a way, but then when I think about his attitude, I don't think he's feeling sorry for himself. Give him some time, he'll continue to age like a fine wine IMO. Wait till he refocuses on his post game in the offseason... look out.
I really appreciated Danny's demeanor in the post-game conference.
Totally dissatisfied with the loss, no moral victories, yet engaging... shall we say, leader-like?
You all should go watch it if you have a chance.
So we are talking Danny Granger. They guy people want to think is a superstar. Thats the problem. Everyone expects him to be something he isn't. Hes a Good shooter and descent off the dribble. His defense is above average and his rebounding is descent. If you want him to be lebron, forget it. Hes close to Mello, with less offense but better defense. Granger could average nearly 26 points every year, like he did a couple years ago. His problem is a lack of a low post threat. Hibbert is descent. I love the guy, but for a man who is 7'2 he cant push hardly anyone around. If he gained some weight who knows what could happen. If he could be a legit, consistant 18ppg from the post scorer then I think Danny averages 25+ and shoots a better percentage. Danny Doesn't get great looks inside the arc. He will get open 3's often because of the way the offense is set up, but those aren't high percentage shots. If hibbert could control the paint like a Dwight Howard(or even 75% of a Howard) than danny would get alot of open looks and when he drives in defenders wouldn't be able to leave Roy to help him. Also the lack of talent around him hurts. Rush, I think could be a great player. He just seems to be lost. People play off of him to crowed the middle for Granger. Ya Rush will hit but not often enough and he needs to work on his driving. Collison is looking good and I believe he is the answer at point. Hes young and will only get better. He outplayed Rose for a quarter in game one. Tyler is looking great, but again hes a shooter. He can get some inside off the dribble but hes not a post player. All these shooters just crowed the mid and outer part of the court. That makes it hard to drive because you have no room to get a head of steam. My Wildcard is Paul George. I seen this guy play in college and at times in the season he looked great. He has excellent defense. He almost always has 3 steals a game. Hes got great size, speed and ups. He is a good shooter but i think he is just adjusting to the NBA. Now that hes starting he will get more confidence. I think in 4 years he can be one of the top players in the NBA, just by looking at his body and skill set. Thats if he has the right coach and system to learn. Being optimistic, Pacers in 7 games. Realistic, Bulls in 6. I hope we can pull a miracle this post season, but I cant wait to see what we do on the offseason. We are a couple pieces away from a legit contender. GO PACERS!
Craig "The Coon" Gehlhausen
if the chemistry is good, i agree.
tell you what - by location you have more access than do i. i'd like to know if you come into mike wells, or if you know yourself, "does danny disrupt the team's chemistry"?
i'm not suggesting he disrupts it intentionally. this is an honest question, not one borne of rhetoric.
"Sometimes, when you look Andy in the eyes, you get a feeling somebody else is driving." -- David Letterman
For three and a half seasons we had a coach that encouraged this sort of shot selection. I feel like this has already improved some under Vogel, and I hope it continues when the new coach (Vogel or whoever) has a chance to do a training camp and really hammer home some new offensive philosophies.
"As a bearded man, i was very disappointed in Love. I am gathering other bearded men to discuss the status of Kevin Love's beard. I am motioning that it must be shaved."
- ilive4sports
I absolutely agree.
Danny's shot selection has been bad this year and last, but I don't remember it being a problem before that. At one point, his excellent shot selection was one of his strengths.
I'm definitely with you that he's gotten better under Vogel, and I'd like to see what happens with more coaching.
EDIT: Wow, I said "this year and last" off the top of my head, but go look at the numbers:
This space for rent.
Teams trade their best player for one of three reasons. Either they have cap problems, they fear losing them to free agency or the player is a knuckle head. We dont have any of those problems with Danny Granger.
The front office should be focused on building around what is already here. Bird will try to add as much as he can to this group while taking minimal losses. My only problem with Danny is that he isnt a "closer", besides that he is a complete player IMO.
I think we can move into ghe future with Danny as our best player but we must have someone on the team who is just as good but they must be a better closer.
Lebron=Best Heat Player
D Wade=Better Closer than Lebron.
I think what a lot of you are missing is the reason people want to trade Granger. It isn't because he isn't living up to expectations, and no one wants to trade him just to trade him. What people see is a player who is not as good as he was 2 or 3 years ago who struggles with giving 100% effort. No one wants to trade him just to trade him, we want to get someone better for him.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
I will never in my life complain about having a guy on my team that averages 20 points, plays good defense (thought he could be better there), and stays out of trouble. When we get or develop that other guy that teams have to really watch out for, then I will have that much more fun watching Granger play. Watch his shooting percentages go back up too.
The Pacers will be like a Government Bail Out program for teams because of all the capspace we'll have. Lets see what happens with that before we go shipping Danny out.
I don't disagree, I don't want to trade Danny just to trade him, I only want to trade him to make the team better. Right now there are better ways to do that than trading Granger.

Local and Regional Jails
Although local and regional jails are not under the direct authority of the Department of Corrections, the department is involved with conducting inspections/audits, completing jail construction project and staffing reviews for state reimbursement, managing contracts to provide work release opportunities, providing technical assistance, providing training, educating the general public on jail operations and responding to inmate related issues.
The Department of Corrections provides numerous services to local and regional jails throughout the Commonwealth in addition to responding to questions related to jail operation and concerns from family members of inmates housed in local jails. With an emphasis on providing these services, the Local Facilities section was created under the administration of Community Corrections in 1991, to serve as a liaison with the 81 city, county and regional jails and general public.
To ensure compliance with State Board of Corrections Standards for Local Jails and Lock-ups, the Compliance & Accreditation Unit's Local Facilities section conducts annual unannounced "Life, Health, Safety" Inspections, while its Certification section conducts triennial Certification Audits.
Technical Assistance
On- and off-site technical assistance is provided to jails by the Unit's Certification and Local Facilities sections to assist jails in meeting the requirements established in Board of Corrections Standards, to enhance operational efficiency and to provide policy and Code of Virginia interpretation.
Since jails hold state-responsible inmates, jail staff needs to be aware of Department of Corrections policies pertaining to these inmates. The Compliance & Accreditation Unit coordinates yearly training throughout the state to keep jail personnel informed of these policies and procedures. In addition, this Unit coordinates National Institute of Corrections-sponsored training on Objective Jail Classification.
Work Release
The Jail Contract Bed Work Release Program is a Cooperative Agreement between the Department of Corrections and local and regional jails throughout the Commonwealth with a primary goal to provide work opportunities in a location close to an inmate's release plan. The Compliance & Accreditation Unit negotiates and manages agreements with jails, while the Offender Management Services Unit processes and reviews inmate applications for participation in jail work release.

|LVM, XFS and the Redhat installer
|Alexander Bergolth <leo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
|Wed, 28 Nov 2001 01:25:05 +0100
Hi! I'd like to migrate a Redhat 7.2 system to one lvm and xfs. I'd prefer having one physical volume containing one volume group with logical volumes containing only xfs filesystems (including /, /usr, etc.). The only thing that bothers me is: Will it be possible to upgrade the system (e.g. to a future Redhat 7.3) using SGI's version of the Redhat installer? Will the installer recognize the filesystems that are inside lvm logical volumes? (I don't want to ask you about any predictions about the future capabilities of the Redhat installer but is there any way to do such an upgrade using the current installer?) Thanks in advance, --leo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander (Leo) Bergolth leo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WU-Wien - Zentrum fuer Informatikdienste http://leo.wu-wien.ac.at Info Center Computers are like air conditioners - they stop working properly when you open Windows

Take a peek into the world of Microsoft with Snaps
Microsoft has created a new website to showcase the best photography from around the world… of Microsoft. It's an arty look into life in and around the tech giant's Redmond, Wash. Campus, and highlights just some of the people who work there.
Shots include employees playing cricket, having lunch, and a photo of Satya Nadella on his first day as Microsoft CEO.
So why has Microsoft put this site together? According to Steve Wiens, Editor, Microsoft.com/Stories: "A few weeks ago, the Microsoft Stories team noticed something. With every amazing person we meet, and every epic moment we cover, our family photo album gets a little thicker. In fact, it's pretty much bursting at the seams. So we've created a new place where we can share our favorite photos from the world of Microsoft with you. We're calling it Snaps. Take a peek and let us know what you think!"
There aren't many photos on the site at the moment, but more will be added over time.

!*Open Letter to Prisoners" by Sis. Kiilu
Posted by: "Nattyreb" nattyreb@.net
Sun Feb 24, 2008 12:25 pm (PST)
Right On, Sis. Kiilu!
Greetings All:
Obviously, prisoners won't be checking their emails to read
this. So I'm asking you to help me get this letter behind
the walls -- through
attaching it to your own correspondence or through your
publications that get
Much thanks,
In solidarity,
Kiilu (Nyasha)
From Kiilu Nyasha
February 2008
I'm writing to let you all know that while I have not been
able to pay close
individual attention to you, you're always in my thoughts,
inspiring me to keep
on fighting for your/our liberation.
Thank you for your cards and letters which I love getting
even though I can't
find the time/energy to answer them all.
Another Black History Month is here and we can all take
pride in our incredible
historic legacy. We are a people that has survived and
overcome a myriad of
obstacles to freedom, dignity, and equality under the
harshest conditions of
enslavement and oppression. We have a rich culture of
art, literature, dance
and music loved throughout the world.
Yet this new millennium threatens to submerge our proud
legacy, and replace it
with a culture of corruption. Our mores and principles
are being subverted as
we succumb to the erasure of our traditionally communal
lifestyle and
vulgarization of our ancestral culture.
I find the presidential race the most difficult time
period to tolerate in
American politics. It sickens me. The blatant corruption
in election campaigns
is mind-boggling, yet the corporate-controlled mass media
maintains the illusion
of a democracy with massive participation from the general
public. It's hard to
keep tabs on the hundreds of millions of dollars being wasted
on this nonsense
when every campaign grows more expensive than the last.
Just like every news
report on global warming notes the Arctic ice is melting
faster than
anticipated, faster and faster.
In fact, according to www.OpenSecrets.org <http://www.OpenSecrets.org/>, "...[T]
he candidates raised more than half a billion dollars in 2007. By some
predictions, the eventual nominees will need to raise $500
million apiece to
compete---a record sum...
"Democratic superdelegates have received $900,000 from Obama
and Clinton."
*Superdelegates??!!* More proof of the simple fact that we
don't have */one
person, one vote/*. Far from it! *_ _*
Prisoners are even more at the mercy of mainstream media since
you are seldom
privy to alternative media or to the Internet that might
provide the true facts
on the ground.
But one thing y'all do know better than any of us: Prison and prisoners are not
on the minds of Billary or Barack. In fact, the first time
I heard such words
come out of their mouths was when they agreeably called for
Cuba to release its
/political prisoners/ in the wake of Fidel Castro's resignation. They also made
it clear that they both consider Cuba an /enemy/ of the United States. In fact,
they agree on just about everything -- two peas in a pod.
Neither Clinton nor Obama seems to notice the U.S. has the
highest rate of
incarceration in the world -- and rising. The most recent
figures indicate a
rise from 2.2 million humans locked /behind the walls/ to *2.4 million*. Add
all those on some other form of penal control, probation,
parole, house arrest,
etc., and the total rises to approximately *7 million*.
California and Texas
still reign supreme at locking people in cages and setting
them up to be executed.
The rate of return or recidivism in the so-called Golden
State hovers around
80%. Could it be because prisoners are paroled, e.g.,
to the most expensive
city (San Francisco) in the country with $200 "gate money"
and a criminal record
that disqualifies them for subsidized housing and other
needed services? It
certainly aids and abets the continuation of an extremely
profitable prison
system that generates salaries for (non-degreed) guards of
up to and more than
$200,000 a year.
So I say to you who have been disenfranchised, I've
disenfranchised myself. I
refuse to participate in a completely corrupt electoral
process reduced to a
big-money game played on the people every two and four years
that changes
nothing and perpetuates the rich getting richer and the poor
getting poorer --
or homeless (another word I haven't heard from candidates),
enslaved, locked up,
or deceased.
*This is a global economy with one percent of the world's
population owning 80%
of the wealth, while billions live on less than a dollar
a day!*
I agree with George Jackson's analysis: "When we participate in this election
to win, instead of disrupt, we're lending to its credibility, and destroying our
own. With all the factors of control over the electoral process in the hands of
the minority ruling class, the people's party can always be made to seem
isolated, unimportant, even extraneous."
I think it's to our collective revolutionary credit that the fascist powers feel
compelled to put a /fresh face on fascism /-- a Black man or a woman. For those
who only associate fascism with Nazism: Modern-day fascism is the combined
dictatorship of big business married to government, characterized by militarism,
racism, and classism. Comrade George noted decades ago, "Fascism has
temporarily succeeded under the guise of reform."
We cannot be so naïve as to think that Barack Obama has broken all records in
fundraising for his campaign because he's going to change things for you and me.
Please. It should be obvious that Obama cannot and will not produce /real/
change, like moving from capitalism to socialism, redistributing wealth.
I think that in the current global context, the imperialists need a brown face
to deal with Africa and the Middle East, Latin America and Asia -- not to mention
the growing /majority/ of brown folks here whom the white supremacists in power
insist on calling /minorities/
/ /
Inside and outside of the walls, we must unite on the basis of /politics/ not
color, gender, ethnicity, or nationality. And it's high time our politics were
I love you and will continue to struggle for your release and our freedom till
my last breath.
Keep the faith.
/ /
Dare to struggle. Dare to win.

While his family and close friends may still nurture hope for pardon for him, Sanjay Dutt's conviction implies he will never be able to visit his daughter Trishala in the US. Laws in the US make it mandatory that no person convicted can obtain a visa to visit the country, according to reports in TOI.
A source close to Dutt revealed the actor's passport has been cancelled for the past five years. "Every time he had to travel abroad for outdoor locations, he would undergo a hearing before being handed a visa, that too for countries other than the US and Canada," the source said, adding: "He doesn't have a passport but there was always hope he could obtain a visa to visit the US. But with the Supreme Court sentence, it will be practically impossible for him to get a visa to the US, even if he is pardoned and doesn't go to prison. This conviction also means he cannot visit 90 per cent of the countries that he could till now."
This is yet another setback for the actor, who is going through a major crisis in life at this point in time. His near and dear ones though hope he may be able to hold a passport, after a few years of serving his sentence, or being pardoned, as the case may be.
Meanwhile, there seems to be a glimmer of hope as far as Dutt's professional life is concerned. His production company's second film, Hasmukh Pighal Gaya, to be directed by Sejal Shah (directorial debut), will go on floors in the second week of April, irrespective of whether he goes behind bars or is pardoned . Reportedly, Maanyata will oversee the production of the film that has been penned by the writers of Akshay Kumar's Oh My God - Bhavesh and Umesh.

AMMANFORD town council may increase the town's precept by £15,000 – to fund the employment of a full-time technical officer to manage the town's park and recreational areas.
The proposed increase – which works out at an extra £7.65 a year for a Band D property in the town – was put forward at a tempestuous meeting of the council's finance committee in Ammanford Town Hall last night.
The move – which will be discussed at next Tuesday's meeting of full council – is the result of Carmarthenshire county council's asset transfer programme borne out of huge financial cuts.
Town mayor Irena Hopkins stormed out of last night's meeting after the committee elected to consider an independent report on the council's finances compiled by Cllr Andrew Lewis.
Chairperson Wendy Evans struggled to control order as tempers flared and threatened to draw the meeting to a close on two occasions.
County councillor Deian Harries admitted that feedback members had received at Monday night's public meeting had "not been too good" and described the way some residents had addressed fellow councillor Colin Evans as "disgraceful".
He suggested that the reason so many people were opposed to a rise in the precept was because it had been kept low for so long – compared to other towns.
"The average Ammanford household pays around £40 a year towards the running of the town – a lot less than other places," he told colleagues.
"Those years of no precept increases have come back to bite us – after years of no increase an actual increase will seem like a criminal offence.
"But if we want to bring Ammanford up to date we need serious investment – we have to take the hit."
Cllr Evans agreed that, in the past, the town council had been "too shy" in putting the precept up in order to fund essential projects.
"I think we should act now before it's too late and while we still have the support of Carmarthenshire county council and its leader, Kevin Madge," he added. "Now is the time to grasp the nettle."
Cllr Jonathan Davies said several people who attended the public meeting felt strongly that the local authority should continue to fund local recreational amenities.
"Deep down I agree," he said. "But we have to face up to reality – the tap has been turned off at Westminster."
The committee also proposed using the council's reserves to fund CCTV in Ammanford Park and lights at the Wilkinson's pedestrian crossing.

Top Kids Halloween Costumes For 2012
Have you decided on a Halloween costume yet? Ya better hurry….the holiday is just over two weeks away. Last year, I procrastinated and ended up having to cut holes in an old bed sheet and go as a ghost. I looked like an idiot and the costume was very annoying. If you are having a hard time choosing what to wear for yourself, your significant other or your kid…..here are a few suggestions. These are the top costume ideas for 2012 as compiled by AOL.
1. Sesame Street Big Bird Costume– $29.99- Big Bird is the "in thing" thanks to Mitt Romney's reference in the first presidential debate.
2. Sock Monkey Costume-$24.99- Have seen the character…didn't know he was so popular!
3. Billion Dollar Baby Bunting Costume– $23.00- I have to admit…I had to Google it to see WTH this was. It's a sack of money!
1. Thor Costume– under $20.00- Everyone knows the almighty Thor. He's back and popular again!
2. Owl Costume– $50.00- Who Who Who would pay 50 bucks for a owl costume for a toddler. I'd say skip the bird and find something cheap.
3. Green Lantern Costume– under $20.00- One of my favorite super heroes. Problem is, I bet a lot of kids will be wearing this one.
1. Marvin the Martian-under $20.00…Sweet!! Remember this lil guy. Red shirt…lil green helmet. I love the idea, but I wonder if kids nowadays know who he is. I guess they must if it's the top costume on AOL's list.
2. Girls American Dream– $30.00- Yep, had to look this one up too. It's basically a super hero costume. Like a Captain America for girls.
3. Rapunzel "Tangled" Costume-$30.00- Another classic that was remade and hit big!
1. Captain America– under $30.00- The Avengers are huge. Captain America being one of the most popular.
2. Papa Smurf– $20.00- I have to admit, I actually thought of being Papa Smurf, but I couldn't deal with the blue face paint all night! The children's costume comes with a mask.
3. Angry Birds Red Bird Costume– Those Angry Birds are still very popular. Who can resist flinging birds into towers with pigs on them…LOL. Cool costume idea.

Kurt must either be bored or practicing necromancy
I bet for necromancy
But these are wonderful news!
I wish him the best, but I thinks there's been a falloff of interest in game development, at least the social part. There are more indies than ever.
I don't understand...if there are more indies than ever, how is that a falloff of interest?
This brings me to one question (a bit OT) - but when will or even whether will DevMaster.net have back Image of the Day? (I know I'm like zillionth man to ask :mellow: )
I think, because of the commercial aspect of it. I'm not sure, really. The Flipcode days were just a bunch of people having fun programming and experimenting, or maybe it's all this Facebook stuff, or the more diverse programming choices, but I think he wants to go back in time and you can't do that.
Wow, I just found an old IOTD of mine still on Flipcode.
Fireside, I can assure you that, at least for myself, I still have fun programming and experimenting
when realtime pathtracing finally comes in, thatll boost a bit of interest again i bet.

My experience racing at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill
Dec 12th
Posted by ben in Blog Posts
This past opportunity I traveled to Thunderhill Raceway in Northern California to participate in the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill. To the unfamiliar the 25 hours of Thunderhill is America's longest endurance sports car race and its become an end of the year tradition for many racers. The race regularly attracts racers from across the country and beyond. This years event had 55 vehicles entered ranging from Mazda Miata's to factory supported cars like the Acura ILX to sports races like the Radical SR3.
I was invited to race with Mazda who brought a trio of diesel powered Mazda6s that were purposely built just for this race. Since the Mazda6 is not available with a diesel in the United States, Mazda started with three Russian Spec cars and built them up from there. Two of the cars were driven by Mazda dealers with the third driven by a foursome from Mazda North America.

Lipsync Posts 34 Versions of New Stuart Little 2 TrailerNew facilities and expertise enable Lipsync to complete major project in-house
|Stuart Little 2 Russian language titles (click image for larger view).
The trailer contains a sequence where Stuart -- the adopted mouse with the 'can-do' attitude -- flies a plane in a skywriting sequence. Based on style guides and materials supplied from the film's graphic animators, Sony Imageworks, Lipsync Post then recreated the sequence in its many versions. Complex cloud particle animation was achieved through the craft skills in LipSync's Graphics Department, armed with an arsenal of effects software on Mac and NT platforms.
Utilising its two Dolby dubbing theatres, both with DFC digital film consoles, Lipsync was able to complete the project in-house, even to the extent of the final digital output to film -- which was done using the recently acquired Arri Film Recorder.
According to Peter Hampden, Director at Lipsync Post, "A key consideration for our client, Columbia Pictures, was the maintenance of consistently high quality throughout the process, working with a first generation negative. The fact that we were able to fulfill these requirements -- to a stringent deadline -- says as much about the ability of our team as it does about the investment we've made in technology."

A SMASH-Hit West End musical directed by the man behind pop megastar Kylie Minogue's shows comes to New Brighton later this year.
The tale of a fictional drag queen band, Viva La Drag! will be staged at the Floral Pavilion on October 24.
Directed by William Baker and produced by Michael Taylor, the show features music by former Culture Club lead singer Boy George.
The musical charts the rise from rags to riches of the Supreme Fabulettes. The group's razor-tongued manager, played by Miss Sheila Simmonds, navigates band splits and solo hits, against a backdrop of backstabbing, love and tears.
The show is played for laughs by four of the UK's top drag artistes: Vicki Vivacious, Vanilla Lush, Portia De Fosse and Silver Summers.
Combining sweet harmonies, wondrous costumes, ripped eye candy, cutting-edge variety plus special guest Sam Buttery, Viva la Drag! promises to be "a night of glitz, hits, fun and kitsch".
Looking forward to bringing the show to Wirral, producer Michael Taylor said: "It's the stage show sensation everyone's talking about.
"Drag queens are a time-honoured tradition and the production brings the art form into the 21st century, courtesy of a show that features amazing harmonies by very talented singers performing today's chart toppers along with classic hits.
"With more hits than any other production, it's a rollicking night of cross-dressing comedy and musical theatre.
"Viva la Drag! is a party night favourite with girls and guys alike. It's perfect entertainment for whatever you're celebrating – hen nights, anniversaries, birthdays even divorces.
"As well as the Kylie connection and Boy George's involvement it also stars Sam Buttery of BBC1's The Voice and benefits from musical direction from the songwriter of number one hits by the Sugarbabes, Emma Bunton and Kylie.
"Vocals are by the arranger to Girls Aloud and Danni Minogue, while costumes are the brainchild of the designer for Kylie's famed world tours."
The show features Glee-style mash-ups of hit songs like Single Ladies, Baby Love, Car Wash, Rolling in the Deep, I'm Every Woman, We Are Family and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
Tickets are from the box office on 0151 666 0000 or www.floralpavilion.com
Theatregoers are advised that the content of the show is suitable for over-16s.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
We call her Jenny. She is a funny little kitty. Her wide round eyes always look a little surprised or a little startled. What? oh who me?
What's happening? She is the essence of good natured and curious, playful and lazy all together. Jenny is the kind of cat that makes your blood pressure go down every time you see her because she invariably makes you smile.
She has what is called a "rumpy riser" of a tail. Manx cats suitable for cat shows are either "rumpy" which means entirely tailless or they are "rumpy riser" cats which means they have a tiny piece of cartilage that sticks up just a little. Very fetching, this little riser.( "Stumpy" tailed cats are ineligible for showing.) This
little girl is very much a Manx; her hind legs are longer than her
front legs " creating a continuous arch from shoulders to the rump giving the cat a rounded appearance". They are very solid ,muscular cats and broad across the chest.. Manx cats are fairly medium to small and are often likened to rabbits with their strong hind legs.
and rounded back profile. And yes they did all originally come from the Isle of Man off the coast of England.
This Manx roundness accentuates a little of Jenny's own natural roundness -yes she could lose a pound maybe even two.( she is 13 and
1/2 pounds) The shelter workers affectionately called her Butterball and I don't think that is not really fair. I think their calling her that was a sign of how much fun she is and how much everyone loved her. She is affectionate and demonstrative and obliging and loves attention.
She has the thick double coat of a Manx and is a silver tabby,you can see her stripes. Her second color on her belly and face is a cream which I particularly like as a soft compliment to her lovely silver.
Someone must l have sought her out and purchased her and loved her.
The shelter paperwork said she was "stray, over the counter" but that just probably means her owners didn't want to pay the surrender fee or answer questions as to why they were abandoning her. She came in in good shape, previously spayed and clearly had not been outside starving. She caught a cold in this very full shelter and had to come to rescue or be euthanized.
Someone will be very lucky to get this unusual little girl who is unusually fun and funny.
She is, I think, cat friendly with the right slow introduction. I don't know how she would be with dogs.
She happily eats wet and dry food and is litterbox perfect.
The last two photographs are her shelter pictures.
Her foster mom is Harriet in Santa Cruz.
Genevieve, a Davis Manx cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Manx for sale in Davis, or seeking a Manx cat from a breeder in Davis.

This paper presents a study of laboratory evaluation on the performance of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) using Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) as filler material. POFA produced by burning palm fibre and shell which is generally used as boiler fuel to produce steam for electricity generation in the mill. POFA is one of the materials identified to have a potential of becoming an alternative filler material in SMA mixes. In this project, a small portion of POFA (passing 75µm) was used to modify asphalt mixtures. POFA was incorporated into asphalt mixes by using dry process method which refers to technologies that mix POFA with the aggregate prior to mixing it with asphalt binder. The aggregate gradations use in this study is gap graded (stone mastic asphalt with 14mm nominal maximum aggregate size-SMA14). The percentage of POFA added was varied from 0 to 7 % (2% hydrated lime) by weight of the total aggregate which is 0 to 100% by weight of the filler content. Samples was prepared and compacted using Marshall Method. Several performance indicators of mixes was evaluated using laboratory work were moisture induced damage/stripping resistant and Marshall volumetric properties. The performance results of modified asphalt mixes were compared to conventional asphalt mixes (unmodified samples). Based on the results, the performance of HMA mixes such as stability, flow and stiffness was significantly affected with the addition of POFA. The results suggest that 50% POFA by weight of filler content is the optimum value.

Somebody who knew somebody — and everyone in Borrego Springs knows everybody else — heard the judge was heading to town Monday.
So residents in the tiny desert town responded by erecting numerous colorful signs up and down the streets, hoping to convince him not to allow a sexually violent predator named Terry Stone to move to their community.
"4 children live here," read one sign in front of a modest house along Palm Canyon Drive. "Grandma's house, 7 children play here," read another.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Frederick Maguire will decide next week whether to allow the state to place Stone in a house on Frying Pan Road, just a short walk from the main community gathering spot — Christmas Circle Community Park.
At a hearing on May 2, Maguire listened to hours of testimony from Borrego Springs residents begging him to deny the request.
He delayed his decision until May 20, saying he wanted to visit the town himself, to get a feel for the situation first hand.
The trip was to be unannounced, but somebody knew something and the community was ready. The judge toured the area late Monday morning, escorted by the Sherriff's Department, a deputy confirmed.
"We knew he was going to be coming out, we weren't sure when," said Linda Haddock, the executive director of the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce. She said people wanted to be ready.
"Some of these folks spent their Mother's Day weekend making and putting these signs up. They wanted to make sure the judge knew what was going on in Borrego Springs."
Some of the signs pointed out the distance between the house where Stone would live, under close supervision, and other spots around town: "0.4 miles to the library," "0.8 miles to Little League Fields," ".7 miles to Boys and Girls Club."
Several of the signs, including the most prominent, read simply "No Stone Zone."
Residents Denny Fotion and Chase Morseman did much of the leg work, drilling and pounding signs into the ground on Monday.
"The guy doesn't belong here," Fotion said. "This whole sign idea was a meeting of the minds."
"This is a small town," Morseman said. "All these kids are here and it's too easy for a sex offender to grab someone. There are no street lights out here."
On three separate occasions, Stone was convicted of lewd and lascivious acts against five different male victims between the ages of 6 and 11. In 1994 he was sentenced to 19 years in prison but was up for parole in 2003 when the District Attorney's office filed a petition to designate him as a sexually violent predator. Instead of being released, Stone was committed to a state hospital where he has since undergone 10 years of treatment.
In December a court determined Stone could be safely released into the community for continued treatment and supervision.
Earlier this year, a house in Spring Valley was chosen by Liberty Healthcare, the contractor hired by the state Department of Hospitals to operate its conditional release program. That recommendation was withdrawn after undisclosed issues were discovered.
The judge has said Stone must be released — the question is where. The District Attorney's Office opposed his release and hasn't taken a position concerning where he should be housed. If an acceptable house can't be found, Stone might have to be released as a transient.

The best thing about February, some people say, is that it
is only 28 days long.
Even for agricultural commodity watchers, the month's
edition of the Wasde report, the benchmark US Department of Agriculture crop
briefing series, has a reputation for being one of the more snoozy ones.
With estimates for the latest northern hemisphere harvests largely
sealed, and southern hemisphere ones not advanced enough to offer accurate
yield changes, it can offer little scope for changing production estimates.
And as for demand, one of the biggest influences here, the
latest US quarterly stocks report, is factored into January Wasdes.
'Tightest balance
sheet in history'
But the Wasde on Monday could nonetheless set a landmark.
Forecasts for 2013-14 soybeans in Wasde report, (existing figure)US ending stocks: 143m bushels, (150m bushels)Range of estimates: 125m-164m bushelsWorld ending stocks: 72.67m tonnes, (72.33m tonnes)Range of estimates: 71.0m-75.35m tonnes"It could show the tightest balance sheet in history" for US
soybeans, said Don Roose, president of Iowa-based broker US Commodities.
Forecasts for 2013-14 soybeans in Wasde report, (existing figure)
US ending stocks: 143m bushels, (150m bushels)
Range of estimates: 125m-164m bushels
World ending stocks: 72.67m tonnes, (72.33m tonnes)
Range of estimates: 71.0m-75.35m tonnes
Which would, of course, imply soaring prices, were supplies
of soybeans, and other oilseeds, not ample elsewhere.
"Canada's canola stocks very large, and South American soybean
crops are expected to come in strong."
Still, the conundrum of thin US inventories compared with
strong foreign ones provides some scope for surprises.
'Real problem'
The USDA analysts in charge of oilseeds estimates, "have a
real problem on their hands", said Bill Tierney, a former principal grains
economist at the USDA, now chief economist at AgResource.
"They have a record pace of soybean exports, soymeal
exports, already bigger than projections" for the whole of 2013-14.
But the estimate for stocks at the close of the season is
already somewhere near levels that many consider pipeline supplies, meaning
that an increase to the export estimate would require tinkering with other
numbers to make the balance sheet work.
This will likely mean reducing the amorphous "residual"
figure, currently at 22m bushels, but too much of a raise in the import figure
may be difficult given that, at 25m bushels (680,000 tonnes) it is already the
second highest in history.
The export issue has been made only stronger this week, with
the USDA on Thursday revealing weekly soybean export sales for 2013-14 of
577,000 tonnes, "up 59% from the previous week and 25% from the prior four-week
Forecasts for 2013-14 corn in Wasde report, (existing figure)
US ending stocks: 1.619bn bushels, (1.631bn bushels)
Range of estimates: 1.574bn-1.748bn bushels
World ending stocks: 159.60m tonnes, (160.23m tonnes)
Range of estimates: 156.27m-163.20m tonnes
Sales have now trenched 1.58bn bushels – 85m bushels above
the figure USDA analysts currently have pencilled in for the whole season,
which is less than half way through.
The cancellations by China, the top soybean importing
country, of US orders, given the ramp up of the harvest in Brazil and prospect
for a strong result, have signally failed to materialise as investors have
It creates a balance sheet puzzle investors are grappling
with too.
"The trade is understandably nervous over mounting US soy
sales and the lack of Chinese cancellations to date", said Richard Feltes at
broker RJ O'Brien.
Corn vs soybeans
Anne Frick at New York-based Jefferies Bache, came up with a
Solomon-like solution to an expectation that the USDA will raise its estimate
for US soybean exports by 20m bushels.
This will be balanced "with 10m bushels coming from an increased
import estimate, and 10m bushels coming from a reduction in ending stocks to
140m bushels", a historically low inventory figure when compared with demand
for the oilseed.
However, Rich Nelson proposed that there was still potential
for the USDA, with large Chinese cancellations still possible, to ignore the export
issue for now.
While an increase in the corn export number was "certain",
for soybeans it was just "likely".
'Offer a surprise'
Indeed, on corn, the USDA has much greater latitude, with
ample supplies to balance out strong US export sales, which came in strong
again last week at 1.70m tonnes, Thursday's data showed.
Forecasts for Wasde South American harvest estimates (existing figure)
Argentine corn: 23.82m tonnes, (25.0m tonnes)
Range of estimates: 19.8m-25.0m tonnes
Argentine soybeans: 54.13m tonnes, (54.5m tonnes)
Range of estimates: 52.7m-57.0m tonnes
Brazilian corn: 69.99m tonnes, (70.0m tonnes)
Range of estimates: 66.1m-74.0m tonnes
Brazilian soybeans: 89.76m tonnes, (89.0m tonnes)
Range of estimates: 88.3m-91.0m tonnes
The US has now sold 91% of the corn forecast for 2013-14,
less than half way through, and compared with an average of 65%, Benson Quinn Commodities
"That gives confidence to traders believing the USDA will
offer a surprise on Monday by taking the corn export estimate up more than the
50m bushels that is expected at this point," the Minneapolis-based broker said.
"Either way, the corn market is indicating it has value,"
even with futures prices around their highest in three months.
Questionable estimate
Not that all the US corn demand data are viewed as so strong.
The US corn feed estimate, of 5.3bn bushels, is a "very
large number", Mr Nelson said, up 22%, and a figure he felt certain to be
reduced given livestock dynamics implying fewer stomachs to fill than had been
Official data last week showed the US cattle herd at its
lowest in 63 years, and below market expectations.
And the spread of porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDv)
means that "hog number might stay equal with last year's and not increase as
was originally thought".

Variational inequalities in vector optimization
In this paper we investigate the links among generalized scalar variational inequalities of differential type, vector variational inequalities and vector optimization problems. The considered scalar variational inequalities are obtained through a nonlinear scalarization by means of the so called "oriented distance" function [14, 15]. In the case of Stampacchia-type variational inequalities, the solutions of the proposed ones coincide with the solutions of the vector variational inequalities introduced by Giannessi [8]. For Minty-type variational inequalities, analogous coincidence happens under convexity hypotheses. Furthermore, the considered variational inequalities reveal useful in filling a gap between scalar and vector variational inequalities. Namely, in the scalar case Minty variational inequalities of differential type represent a sufficient optimality condition without additional assumptions, while in the vector case the convexity hypothesis was needed. Moreover it is shown that vector functions admitting a solution of the proposed Minty variational inequality enjoy some well-posedness properties, analogously to the scalar case [4].

Japan's players union on Thursday called on Nippon Professional Baseball to select a new commissioner who can carry out reform following the revelation that this year's ball was secretly altered.
Toru Matsubara, the secretary general of the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association, submitted a document to both NPB and the third-party committee investigating the ball scandal suggesting commissioner Ryozo Kato resign and be replaced by someone who can demonstrate leadership.
The players, who are troubled by Kato's saying he didn't know the ball had been changed, want a system put in place that will establish responsibility for disclosing information. The union also wants real change to come from the recommendations of the third-party investigators.
"The main feeling is that the players want an organization led by a competent commissioner with vision," Matsubara said.

GARY Deegan is desperate to make his Southend United debut at AFC Wimbledon tonight.
The 25-year-old was recently snapped up on a three month contract by Shrimpers boss Phil Brown.
And the midfielder hopes to be included in the starting line-up for the first time in this evening's Johnstone's Paint Trophy first round tie.
"I'm ready to jump at the chance and show what I can do if I'm given the chance to play," said Deegan.
"It's the gaffer's call but I played in the behind closed doors against Oxford the other day and I'm feeling good.
"I'm fit and confident and hopefully I can make my debut this evening."
Deegan was selected among the substitutes for Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Plymouth Argyle.
And he was impressed by how Blues battled with 10 men after having Cian Bolger sent off after just 15 minutes at Home Park.
"The lads worked really hard on Saturday but it was always going to be difficult when we went down to 10 men," said Deegan.
"We played well in the first half and were probably unlucky not to get a goal but they were able to take advantage in the second-half."
Blues will therefore be hoping to get back to winning ways tonight.
And they will also be seeking revenge on the Dons who beat them 1-0 at Roots Hall just a fortnight ago.
"AFC Wimbledon did a job on us at Roots Hall a couple of weeks ago, I was there watching the game and we were unlucky not to win," said Deegan.
"Hopefully tonight it will be a different story and I can help in that happening.
"I want to impress in the time I have here, both in the matches and in training and hopefully my first chance will come tonight."

Texas Rangers pay premium for second- and third-round draft picks
ARLINGTON - In order to steal infielders Ti'Quan Forbes and Josh Morgan away from powerful NCAA baseball programs, the Rangers paid "above-slot" premiums for their second- and third-round draft picks.
The club announced Wednesday that Forbes, who had signed with Ole Miss, and Morgan, who had signed with UCLA, along with fourth-rounder left-hander Brett Martin, had all passed their physicals and signed their initial contracts. The trio left for the Rangers' training complex in Arizona Tuesday night and will join the Arizona Rookie League when that season begins in 10 days.
The club paid $1.2 million for Forbes and $800,000 for Morgan, exceeding the recommended slot bonuses for the pair by a total of more than $500,000. In order to do that and not incur fines or forfeit future picks for going over their $4.82 million draft bonus allotment for selections in the first 10 rounds, the Rangers will have to give out smaller bonuses to some other picks. Clubs have started getting around the process by giving negligible bonus to ninth and 10th rounders, particularly if they are college seniors who have no leverage. The Rangers selected a college senior, outfielder Doug Volotalo of Flower Mound Marcus and Central Arkansas, with their ninth round pick. The Rangers have already signed Volotalo and 10th rounder Seth Spivey of Abilene Christian
"There are just parts of the process that are more important right now," said scouting director Kip Fagg in relation to getting the strongest early-round picks and still making the bonus pool balance.
Right-hander Luis Ortiz, the Rangers' top selection is expected to undergo a physical on Wednesday and then sign a contract for just under the recommended slot of $1.765 million.
It's likely the club could have all of its picks in the first 10 rounds signed by the end of the week. The only player with whom there appears to still be some negotiation is right-hander Nick Green, the sevent-round selection.

SANTA CRUZ -- UC Santa Cruz associate professor of dance Ted Warburton will present the Arts Division's 2013 Outstanding Faculty Research Lecture on May 16 with a talk titled "So You Think When You Dance?"
The lecture begins at 6 p.m. and will take place in the UCSC Media Theatre. Admission is free and open to the public.
Warburton said that his lecture will explore the "thinking behind the doing" of dance. He became interested in cognition and creativity after a professional dance career, while studying for a doctorate in human development and psychology at Harvard University.
"Despite the centrality of dance in human experience and the proliferation of dance studies, there has been little effort to advance a psychology of dancing," Warburton said.
"How do dancers construct and integrate all the necessary information to perform highly sophisticated physical tasks, lined up in hour-long choreographies that have to be flawlessly remembered, at the same time producing expressions of deep emotional quality that have the power to communicate to others?," he asks.
His answer is to address a problem central to his research: the mystery of how dancing emerges from the physical sensation of organized movement.
"My goal is to unpack the ways dancing shapes the embodied mind through a series of examples derived from my recent performance projects and published studies."
Warburton's creative work focuses on issues of aesthetics and arts practice that surface in dance and digital media performance and has received critical recognition from the New York Times and The New Yorker magazine.
Warburton has danced professionally with American Ballet Theatre and holds a doctoral degree in psychology from Harvard, as well as a master's in technology.
He came to UCSC in the summer of 2004 from New York University, where he served as the director of its dance program.
Beginning on May 24 and running through June 2, Warburton will also be directing Blueprints--a full-length dance concert featuring UCSC faculty choreographers, as well as guest choreographers from the Bay Area and student dancers, performing traditional and contemporary dance.
"I'm curating a faculty and alumni dance showcase that brings to the UCSC Mainstage some energetic and visually compelling choreographic works, each of which examine an aspect of what we find to be fundamental in our lives--connection to the earth and each other," said Warburton.
"These works take as inspiration diverse topographies, from the savannas of Africa (Yankadi-Makuru by Mandjou Kone) to the uplands of Estonia (Ice Road by Cid Pearlman), and bring personal perspectives on alienation (The Stranger by David Herrera) and astrophysics (Three Bodies by Ted Warburton)."
He added that in addition to working closely with choreographers Koné and Pearlman, who both teach dance at UC Santa Cruz, the student dancers will also have the opportunity to meet with UCSC alumnus David Herrera, whose company will perform his new work, The Stranger (Part 1).
"This is a great opportunity for them to meet David's company," said Warburton. "Our students will have the chance to watch them rehearse and perform, as well as talk with David about the dance scene in San Francisco and beyond."
The six performances of Blueprints will include live music, featuring West-African drummers, plus an improvisational group featuring students from UCSC's Music Department.

120 min, TV-G, CC
Nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing, Original Story -- David Boehm and Chandler Sprague

Originally Cary Grant played the bishop and David Niven the angel. When original director William A. Seiter left the film, Henry Koster replaced him and viewed what had been shot so far. He realized that the two were in the wrong roles. It took some convincing because Grant wanted the title role of the Bishop. He soon accepted the change and his role as the angel was one of the most widely praised of his career.
8:00 PM -- The Right Stuff (1983)

While true when the film was made, Mike Melvill in June and September 2004 and Brian Binnie in October 2004 went into space alone in Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne (Not a NASA spaceship or spaceflight). Binnie's flight was the day Gordon Cooper died.
11:30 PM -- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Classic sci-fi epic about a mysterious monolith that seems to play a key role in human evolution.
Dir: Stanley Kubrick
Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester
C- 149 min, TV-G, CC
Won an Oscar for Best Effects, Special Visual Effects -- Stanley Kubrick
Nominated for Oscars for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration -- Anthony Masters, Harry Lange and Ernest Archer, Best Director -- Stanley Kubrick, and Best Writing, Story and Screenplay - Written Directly for the Screen -- Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke
Originally, HAL was to be called Athena and have a female voice. According to Keir Dullea (Dave Bowman), Nigel Davenport and Martin Balsam were hired and later replaced before Douglas Rain finally landed the role of HAL. Davenport was actually on-set in England during filming, reading HAL's lines off-camera so that Dullea and Gary Lockwood could react to them. Apparently, Stanley Kubrick thought that Davenport's English accent was too distracting, so after a few weeks he dismissed him and for the remainder of the shoot HAL's lines were read by an assistant director who, according to Dullea, had a Cockney accent so thick that lines like "Better take a stress pill, Dave" came out like "Better tyke a stress pill, Dyve". Later Balsam was hired and recorded HAL's voice in New York, but again when Kubrick heard his lines he wasn't satisfied, so he finally got Rain to re-record everything during post-production. Rain recorded in Canada, speaking his lines barefoot with his feet resting on a pillow to get the relaxed tone. For the sequel, Peter Hyams' 2010, the opposite process was used: Rain recorded all of HAL's dialogue during pre-production prior to principal photography. That's why, to this day, Dullea and Rain have never actually spoken directly to each other or met in person.
In this sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, a U.S.-Soviet crew investigates a mysterious monolith orbiting Jupiter.
Dir: Peter Hyams
Cast: Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, Helen Mirren
C- 116 min, TV-14, CC
Nominated for Oscars for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration -- Albert Brenner and Rick Simpson, Best Costume Design -- Patricia Norris, Best Effects, Visual Effects -- Richard Edlund, Neil Krepela, George Jenson and Mark Stetson, Best Makeup -- Michael Westmore, and Best Sound -- Michael J. Kohut, Aaron Rochin, Carlos Delarios and Gene S. Cantamessa
Victor Milson (played by James McEachin) states that a U.S. Navy vessel called "U.S.S. Cunningham" participates in a deadly naval engagement with a Russian vessel. Given the film was made less than 10 years following the end of the Vietnam War, it could be held, that a futuristic Navy ship named "Cunningham" may have been named after U.S. Navy Commander Randy "Duke" Cunningham, whom, at the time, was a notable, decorated Vietnam War hero. By 2010, however, Cunningham will be best remembered by the public as a disgraced United States Congressman.
4:15 AM -- Forbidden Planet (1956)
A group of space troopers investigates the destruction of a colony on a remote planet.
Dir: Fred McLeod Wilcox
Cast: Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen
C- 99 min, TV-PG, CC
Nominated for an Oscar for Best Effects, Special Effects -- A. Arnold Gillespie, Irving G. Ries and Wesley C. Miller
Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry has been quoted as saying that this film was a major inspiration for the series. Perhaps not accidentally, Warren Stevens, who plays "Doc" here, would later be a guest star in 1968's By Any Other Name, where the true shape of the alien Kelvans, like the Krell in this movie, was implied to be extremely non-humanoid but never shown.
The time aboard the C57D is stated as being 17:01 hours when the ship enters orbit around Altair IV. Gene Roddenberry, a fan of this movie, would later use 1701 as the naval construction contract number of the Starship Enterprise.

Saudi-Bahraini economic ties hit new high
Whilst press reports continue speculating on a possible new political structure defining ties between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, facts on the ground confirm ever- stronger economic ties between the two neighbours. The drive for stronger political ties between Riyadh and Manama is taking place in the context of the push for political union among the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). This issue is likely to remain a key foreign policy objective as Manama prepares to host the 33rd GCC summit by the end of this year.
Oil revenues
Already Saudi Arabia is Bahrain's main trading partner with oil playing a key role. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain share the output of 300,000 barrels per day of the offshore Abu Saafa field. Proceeds generated by the Abu Saafa field contribute more than half of total oil revenues for Bahrain, in turn the primary source of treasury income. In addition, Bahrain's sole refinery largely depends on crude oil imported from Saudi Arabia via an undersea pipeline. Bahrain pays prevailing market prices for imported Saudi crude oil, with no discounts offered.
Examples of other growing economic relationships include that of Saudi authorities allowing Gulf Air to offer air links in the vast kingdom to cities normally not served by international carriers. Another instance is the decision by Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal to select Bahrain as a base for a new television channel.
Plans are under way for Gulf Air to further expand into the Saudi market to partly make up for lost business in Iran and Iraq. The government of Bahrain, which fully owns Gulf Air, forced the carrier last year to indefinitely suspend its operations to Iran and Iraq.
The decision reflects displeasure by Bahrain's authorities of political positions undertaken by both Tehran and Baghdad vis-a-vis events in Bahrain. It may be recalled that in mid-February last year, Bahrain faced popular demands calling for partnership in making public choices and decisions.
Specific demands included guaranteeing a popular say in formation of the cabinet possibly through parliamentary results, ensuring fair electoral districts and showing no tolerance towards discrimination.
At any rate, Saudi Arabia is a key regional market for Gulf Air, second only to the UAE.
New scheme
A new scheme by Gulf Air calls for commencing flights in the first half of this year to three more Saudi cities, namely Ghassim, Taif and Yanbu, bringing the number of cities served by Gulf Air to seven.
Currently, Gulf Air serves Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah and Dammam. According to a report by the Centre for Aviation and Innovation (Capa), services to the three cities would raise the number of flights to destinations in Saudi Arabia to 70 per week.
This further places Gulf Air ahead of regional rivals Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways with regard to flights to Saudi Arabia.
Judged by economic statistics, expansion into the Saudi market has its benefits. At $577 billion (Dh2.11 trillion), the gross domestic product of Saudi Arabia is by far the largest in the Arab world. Comparatively, Bahrain boasts a GDP of $21 billion, merely 4 per cent the size of the Saudi economy.
Timely lifeline
Gulf Air sustained financial losses of $500 million in 2010. a hefty 7 per cent of total government spending for the year. Certainly, easing of restrictions in the Saudi market offers a new lifeline for the carrier.
Separately, the imminent launch of Alarab TV from Bahrain should enhance the country's economic fortunes.
The project received a fresh boost earlier in the month marking the inauguration of Manama as a capital of Arab culture for 2012.
The developments could not be more timely given the notable departure of some financial institutions due to political uncertainty one year on since events in mid-February last year.
The writer is a Member of Parliament in Bahrain.

Woman caught with 15 bundles of cocaine in her car
Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:26:10 GMT —
A Mexican woman is behind bars in the Rio Grande Valley after authorities allegedly discovered more than 41 pounds of cocaine hidden under the rear seats of her car.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers arrested 23-year-old Selene Ochoa-Vargas on federal drug charges on Sunday morning.
Court records show that Ochoa-Vargas drove up from Mexico at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge.
The records show Ochoa-Vargas had crossed several times before but was in a different car than she normally drives.
Customs officers sent her to secondary inspection where authorities allegedly found 15 bundles with 41.7 pounds of cocaine under the rear seat of her car.
Ochoa-Vargas allegedly told investigators that smugglers bought the car and registered it in her name but it was not supposed to have drugs in it.
The 23-year-old woman told investigators that the trip was just to be for a border crossing so the plates would be registered in a CBP database and associated with her name.
