Republican Firefighter Ted Nonini tells Senate "America Works Best When No One Party has Absolute Power"
Washington, DC – With Republicans waging an unprecedented political power grab and attacking our historic system of checks and balances, Republican Ted Nonini stood with Democratic Leader Harry Reid against the Nuclear Option at stakeout today.
"America works best when no one party has absolute power" said Ted Nonini a Republican, firefighter from Los Angles, California. "I think it's important to have an open debate where we hear from both sides. I'm a Republican, but that doesn't mean the other side shouldn't be heard. The country does work better when we listen to one another, and we cooperate. And that's what the filibuster's about. It's been in the Senate for more than 200 years. We shouldn't get rid of it just because one side wants to."
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid echoed Mr. Nonini's remarks, "I brought Ted here as an example of just who Congress should be fighting for. Instead of abusing power and currying favor with the right-wing for the next political campaign, why don't we go to work to make life better for American workers like Ted?
"Our transportation system is critical to our economy, yet uncertainty over the highway bill has projects – and the jobs that come with them – stalled. How about we quit posturing over radical judicial nominations and take up the transportation bill? Democrats came here to be legislators," said Reid. "Instead of abusing power, why don't we go to work on the real problems the American people face? People in Nevada are paying over $2.50 a gallon for gas. How about we focus on them and set some ambitious energy goals for this country? There are 45 million people without health care in America. How about Republican Leaders stop abusing their power, and instead, use their power to bring down health care costs?"
"This President has a better record of having his judicial nominees approved than any President in the past twenty-five years. Only ten of 215 nominations have been turned down. And those ten had views that were totally out-of-touch with the mainstream values average Americans share," said Reid.
Mr. Nonini, who voted for George Bush in both 2000 and 2004, has been a Republican for the past fifteen years.

After getting knocked out of its conference tournament in the semifinals, Ben Hanowski and St. Cloud State University (SCSU) needed some help to get into the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's hockey tournament.
Once they did, though, the Huskies took it from there, rolling through the Midwest Regional as the fourth seed to give SCSU its first trip to the Frozen Four in school history.
The Huskies played well during the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) regular season.
But a shaky start in non-conference play had the team nervous when selections were handed down said Hanowski, who graduated as the state's all-time leading high school scorer for Little Falls and is now a senior captain for SCSU.
"We were sweating it out a little bit," Hanowski said. "We played well in the conference, but struggled a little bit early in the year. That was really what was hurting us and holding us back."
"We were a little nervous and needed some help," he said. "Thankfully we got it and just started playing extremely well after that."
Hanowski played a leading role in helping SCSU strong start to the NCAA tournament, as the Huskies clashed with the Midwest's top seed in Notre Dame in the first round, scoring the opening goal of the game.
He added an assist in the SCSU's four-goal second and before Notre Dame could recover, the Huskies were on their way to a 5-1 win in Toledo, Ohio, March 30.
"It was big," Hanowski said. "Our coaches had emphasized that we needed to get off to a good start. Once we got that first goal, it relieved a little pressure and we were able to relax a little bit."
It was more of the same in the region final the following night, as the Huskies once again took control with an early goal against Miami of Ohio, advancing with a 4-1 victory.
"We didn't expect that (margin)," Hanowski said. "Against Notre Dame we played extremely well and had a bit of a flurry in the second period. We've been a team that can do that throughout the year."
"We got the lead in both games and that was really crucial," he said.
It was a big step for the Huskies, who had entered with a 1-9 record in tournament play in school history, with only one trip even to the regional finals, but that didn't creep into this year's team's thoughts.
"We can't control what happened in the past," Hanowski said. "None of us had really played in the tournament except for the three of us seniors, so it wasn't really a factor for us."
The regional championship capped a whirlwind week for Hanowski, who found out his NHL draft rights had been traded by the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Calgary Flames in a deal that included six-time All-Star Jarome Iginla.
Pittsburgh drafted Hanowski in the third round of the 2009 draft. Under NHL draft rules, teams retain the rights of draftees while they continue to play in college, leaving Hanowski with some attachment to the Penguins, but not enough to leave him too broken up by the news.
"A little bit because I had gone to a couple Pittsburgh development camps, but not a ton because I hadn't played any games for their affiliates," Hanowski said.
"It was kind of a unique situation to be traded for a future Hall of Famer," he said. "It hasn't really sunk in yet. I'm just trying to focus on my last few weeks here."
For now, SCSU will have its hands full in the Frozen Four semifinals in Pittsburgh, Penn., April 11, as they square off against top-ranked Quinnipiac.
"I don't know a ton about them," Hanowski said. "They've been ranked one or two the entire year, they've been playing at a high level and are well-coached. We're going to have to be ready to play if we're going to win."
"My parents are going to be coming," Hanowski said. "I have great support from my family. I don't think they're going to be missing this big of a deal."
If SCSU defeats Quinnipiac, it will play in the national championship game, April 13 against the winner between Yale and Massachusetts-Lowell.
"Deep down, I wanted to be part of a championship team," Hanowski said. "I did not necessarily think it would be in my senior year – my freshman year we were extremely close too – but I wanted to be a part of a winning program."
"It's a pretty special group that we have here," he said. "Being able to play with these super guys two extra weeks is the best part about this. We want to take care of business and go in there and win the whole thing."

If you are a blogger, you probably know how important it is to add tags to your blog posts. So why in the world does the best blog editor (Windows Live Writer) not have a place to enter tags? Well, it does, you just have to enable it. Different blog engines will use different fields for tags. Some platforms use categories and some use tags. When I was posting primarily to TechNet.com LiveWriter was great because the categories posted directly to my tags. However, when I switched to WordPress, categories are separate from tags. There is a way to add a tags list to Live Writer. Once you do this, the tags drop down will be placed under the ribbon between the categories and the post date.
To add the Tags to Live Writer, you need to modify the registry.

Community Right to Challenge
The Community Right to Challenge lets communities challenge the Council to take over local services that they think can be run differently and better. This could be the whole service or just part of a service. A successful challenge would trigger a procurement exercise where the community can make a competitive bid alongside any other firms who wish to make an offer.
Important points you need to consider…
•Winchester City Council is committed to providing its services in the most efficient and effective way possible. Before making a formal challenge under the Act, please make sure you consider and explore all of the existing opportunities to get involved, engage or influence the Council. One way of getting started is by contacting your local Councillor.
•The service you are interested in may already be commissioned in a formal contract. Whilst you can still challenge a service under contract, it is likely that the procurement exercise will only begin when current contract is due to expire. This is to ensure the Council achieves best value for money. Find out about the Council's current tendering opportunities and view all Winchester's existing contracts.
•If you decide to go ahead with making a challenge you must be confident that you can provide the service by the time the procurement exercise begins.
•The procurement exercise is an open and competitive bid so we cannot guarantee you would win the procurement of the service.
Who can make a challenge?
•Voluntary and community groups
•Parish Councils
•A trust established for charitable purposes
•Groups of two or more staff from Winchester City Council
Any of the parties above are allowed to deliver a service as part of a consortium or use a sub-contractor.
How to make a challenge?
If you wish to make a challenge to run a service please first contact Antonia Perkins, Head of Policy, on 01962 848 314 or email email@example.com for an informal discussion.
To submit a formal challenge you will need to submit an Expression of Interest (Eol), which you can do by filling out the five page application form. Please include as much detailed information as you have to help ensure your challenge will be processed in the shortest time possible.
You will need to have the following information:
1. Your organisation details
2. Details of other organisations involved in the challenge
3. Information about the relevant service sufficient to identify it and the geographical area to which the expression of interest relates.
4. Details of what your challenge is proposing and how your provision of the service will improve the social, economic and environmental delivery of that service.
5. Financial information including: a). audited accounts b). a statement of turnover, profit and loss, cash flow position, and an end period balance sheet covering the past year or part of the year c). a statement of the organisation's cash flow forecast for the current year and a bank letter outlining the current cash and credit facility position d). bank details (You will need to provide this financial documentation for all organsiations involved with the Challenge).
When your challenge is submitted, the City Council relevant Service Manager will notify you of the expected time it will take to make a decision. The maximum period of time the Council can take to make a decision is five calendar months.
What happens if the challenge is accepted?
The Council will notify you if your challenge has been accepted. The time period between the challenge being accepted and a procurement exercise starting* will differ considerably depending on whether the service to which your challenge relates is currently provided in-house or commissioned.
a). Services provided in-house - a procurement exercise will be triggered for all interested parties, in line with the Council's current Contract Procedure Rules. The length of time between an EoI being accepted and a procurement exercise being accepted will vary from service to service, and we will specify and publish this length of time which is likely to be different for each potential contract.
b). Services commissioned and under contract - EoIs for contracted-out services will trigger a procurement exercise to be undertaken when it would have taken place in any event (prior to the end of the contract period).
* Note: A 'procurement exercise starting' may include activities such as procurement planning and preparation, stakeholder engagement, soft market testing, etc – it is not the point at which the Council formally places a public advert for the tendering opportunity.
Recent decisions/notifications of Challenges
All recent expressions of interest received and decisions on challenges will be published in this section.

'Guitar Hero,' The Reality Show?
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The worldwide hit video game "Guitar Hero" could become a reality TV show and/or a real-life concert tour, people familiar with the discussions said Thursday.
"Hero" is from Activision Blizzard, a leading video game publisher that aims to turn some of its games into TV and film properties.
Activision's cross-platform interests don't end at "Hero"; discussions are under way to turn the "World of Warcraft" and "Call of Duty" video games into movies.
"They are being talked about for the big screen," said one person with knowledge of the details.
In an interview before Thursday's quarterly earnings conference call, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick wouldn't comment on the movie speculation. But asked about the "Hero" franchise, he said, "It might make for a good TV show or a good concert tour."
"Hero" and "Duty" were two of the top five best-selling franchises across all video game platforms in Europe and the U.S. during the first quarter. "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King" was the top PC game, in terms of revenue, in the U.S.
Kotick added that video games, especially family-friendly "Hero," are "capturing leisure time away from TV and film."
Evidence that Kotick might be correct was in the company's financial report Thursday. Activision Blizzard said first-quarter revenue more than tripled to $981 million as net income swelled to $189 million from $43 million in the year-ago quarter.
Comparisons with last year are an inaccurate measure of success because a year ago Activision hadn't yet been merged with Vivendi Games and renamed Activision Blizzard. More reflective of the company's momentum is that it beat expectations in the first quarter and raised its full-year revenue guidance by $100 million to $4.3 billion.
"We have growth and we're making money. That's better than others can say," Kotick said.
Activision Blizzard this year will release several new "Guitar Hero" games including "DJ Hero," which uses a turntable controller for hip-hop, Motown and other dance music, and "Band Hero," which caters to younger players and features top-40 hits. "Guitar Hero: Van Halen" and "Guitar Hero: Smash Hits" also are set for release.

Ligue 1: Lyon held at home by lowly Rennes
PARIS, April 12 (Reuters) - Olympique Marseille boosted their Champions League hopes with a 2-1 win at relegated Metz on Saturday.
Goals from Djibril Cisse and Samir Nasri moved Marseille up to third place at the expense of Nancy, defeated 2-1 at Lille.
Marseille and Nancy are both on 55 points from 33 games but the southerners lead their rivals on goal difference.
The top two in Ligue 1 qualify for the Champions League with the third-placed team entering the showcase event's qualifying round.
Despite an early goal by Cedric Barbosa, Metz were relegated to Ligue 2 with 18 points, 17 points from safety with five games left.
Troubled Paris Saint-Germain are a place above the relegation zone and host Nice on Sunday.
Leaders Olympique Lyon were held to a 1-1 home draw by Stade Rennes earlier on Saturday after Stephane M'bia equalised for the visitors in added time.
A powerful header by Cris had put the six-times French champions ahead, the defender rising to meet a corner from fellow Brazilian Juninho on 16 minutes.
Cameroon midfielfer M'bia gave Rennes a share of the points just before the final whistle, also with a header from a corner.
Lyon, chasing a seventh consecutive title, are on 68 points from 33 games, seven points ahead of second-placed Girondins Bordeaux, who host Caen on Sunday.

Larson downplays Michigan drama with Stewart
June 19, 2014, Holly Cain, NASCAR.com
RELATED: Play NASCAR Fantasy Live | Sign up for RaceView today
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – During a luncheon with local media in San Francisco's famed Gharadelli Square on Thursday, Sprint Cup Series rookie Kyle Larson downplayed that any drama existed between him and veteran Tony Stewart after an on-track exchange last week at Michigan.
However fellow Cup driver Brian Vickers seized the opportunity to offer advice to the 21-year-old first-year Cup driver having had his own on-track "issues" with Stewart several years ago at this week's Sonoma Raceway road course.
"There is no right or wrong answer to your problem, but there are consequences," Vickers said, inciting loud laughter from those in the room and getting a big grin from Larson and 2012 Cup champ Brad Keselowski as the three conducted a news conference in advance of Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350.
Last week at Michigan, the three-time Cup champ Stewart was critical of Larson's driving during a restart and pulled alongside him at one point to express his frustration.
After the race, Stewart said of his 11th place finish: "We got the nose damage when the 42 (Larson) got impatient there and blocked us."
Asked for his take after the race Larson – who finished eighth in the No. 42 Target Chevy - explained the situation as "Tony just being Tony" in reference to the famously feisty champ, who shares an open-wheel background with Larson and has often praised the Chip Ganassi Racing team rookie.
Larson offered a more detailed version of the events on Thursday.
"On the restart he lined up behind me and I was mirror driving and saw him go to the right so I went to right, felt him hit me and thought, 'Tony's going to be pissed,' so I pulled up top, let him by and drove around him a couple corners later," Larson said. "When the (next) caution came out, I knew what was going to happen and I knew he was going to pull next to me and show me he wasn't happy."
Egging on the recollection, Keselowski asked Larson, "How did he show he wasn't happy?"
"His middle finger," Larson replied, smiling.
"In sprint car racing, blocking is a little more normal so I don't know if he gets as angry in that as he does with blocking in stock cars. Anyway, a guy like Tony Stewart probably respects you more if you don't back down.
"Coming to a place like Sonoma, I'm sure we'll be around each other and we'll see what happens. But I don't feel like I've done anything dirty so I'm not going to do anything to make the situation worse and I hope he doesn't."
Larson insisted Thursday throughout questioning that he wasn't worried about things going forward. He's ranked eighth in the Cup standings and Stewart is 16th – both still looking for their first victory in 2014.
"It's not as if I did something real bad to him," Larson said. "I'm real good friends with Tony, but it doesn't matter on the race track, we all know how super competitive he is. I'm not too worried about it.
"Maybe he's just trying to intimidate me or treat me (like the new kid.) I get that. I understand that.
"It's really not a big deal yet. We haven't wrecked each other or anything major. I really don't think it's a big deal."

Rifle grads move on with laughs, purpose
RIFLE — Enjoy the successes, learn from the failures, learn something new each day, and laugh each day, Garfield Re-2 School District Superintendent Susan Birdsey advised Rifle High School 2012 graduates Sunday.
"It makes a bad day better and it's healthy," Birdsey said about laughter.
As if following Birdsey's lead, valedictorian Andrew Proebstle left the crowd chuckling with a light-hearted, rhyming speech during Sunday's graduation ceremony.
"You've all done well to make it this far. I can't believe we are already saying au revoir," said Proebstle, also a star on a track team that won a state title last year and took second this year.
There was a more somber moment for Rifle's 118 graduates Sunday when they remembered Austin Booth, a popular class member who died last year after contracting the flu.
Rifle teacher and graduation speaker Jonathan Rice said Booth seemed to know that what matters in life is relationships and thinking of others.
"This is why so many of us were so powerfully drawn to him," Rice said.
In an interview, graduate Heidi Acosta said she had others to thank for her ultimate success in school.
When she first started at Rifle High, "I didn't know that grades and everything mattered in the future," Acosta said.
Her grades were so bad her freshman year that she thought she might not be able to graduate. That's when her parents and teachers talked to her about the importance of studying and "just kept pushing me in school and to keep out of trouble," Acosta said.
Acosta's parents are from Mexico and English is her second language.
"I used to be embarrassed to read out loud," she said.
Then she took advantage of a program in school for students not fluent in English and gained courage and confidence as a student. Now she has received a scholarship from Alpine Bank and will be attending Colorado Mountain College.
"I want to do youth education," said Acosta, perhaps inspired by those who encouraged her in her own education.
On Sunday, she was the one inspiring her own mom, Maria Acosta, Maria said. She proudly watched her daughter cross the graduation stage Sunday — the first to do so as students queued up alphabetically.
Maria described herself as "very happy today" as she choked back tears of joy after joining her daughter following her graduation.
A total of 118 graduates received their diplomas Sunday. The class co-salutatorians were Keith McCutchan and Casey Moher-Crook.

A Conversation for CELTIC DEVON
Mining to recommence at Hemerdon
Ozzie Exile Started conversation Apr 22, 2012
It appears that mining will recommence at Hemerdon.
I worked at Hemerdon many years ago (in the 1980's) and it is interesting that this will re-open.
Whilst the headline is Tungsten I know that the area abounds in Tin as well, and I am sure that if this goes ahead Devon will be producing Tin and Tungsten again for the first time in over 30 years.
Mining to recommence at Hemerdon
Plymouth Exile Posted Apr 23, 2012
This is good news. Revised resource estimate for the Hemerdon Mine compiled by SRK Consulting show estimated totals (measured plus indicated plus inferred) of 215 million tons of ore at 0.02% tin and 0.18% tungsten, i.e. 43,000 tons of tin and 313,800 tons of tungsten.
Mining to recommence at Hemerdon
Ozzie Exile Posted Apr 29, 2012
Yes, the resources are there.
In fact, I suspect that the resources are even great.
Based on my recollections, whilst the Tungsten is concentrated in a relatively small cylinder of ore (and this looks like what your referred analysis is based on), outside of that area there is virtually no Tungsten but a rather higher proportion of tin.
If they are going to use an open cut they will get a lot more of the surrounding rock, and will hence get more tin.
From what I understand, the mine might have trouble working out where to put their spoil, because the underlying material would be viable - once you have an operational mine.
Lets's hope it goes ahead
Mining to recommence at Hemerdon
Ozzie Exile Posted Dec 23, 2012
It appears that mining of tin and tungsten at Hemerdon is that much closer, with now all of the financial hurdles overcome, with the funding now in place.
The mine will employ up to 230 people directly, with perhaps many more indirectly. It is one of the largest tungsten deposits in the world.
Hopefully, environmental issues have been adequately addressed.
Mining to recommence at Hemerdon
Ozzie Exile Posted Dec 16, 2014
Construction of Devon's new (olde) tin and tungsten mine is well underway.
Please see this aerial photograph of the construction site at Hemerdon Bal, near Plympton.
The mine is the first new mine in the UK for 45 years. It will cost £130m and employ hundreds of people.
It looks very different to the relatively small scale operation I worked at in the 1980's

Most of the nearly 100 people feared missing in bushfires in Tasmania have been accounted for and no deaths have been recorded so far, police say.
Tasmania Police Inspector John Arnold has told ABC Radio that most of the names on the list have been cross-checked and located.
He says police are still working their way through the list but there are no fatalities so far based on "the information we have at the moment".
However, he says "it may be a possibility down the track".
Police will continue their property-to-property searches today in the worst-hit towns of Dunalley, Boomer Bay and Marion Bay as they fear lives may have been lost.
More than 100 buildings have been destroyed by the fires, which continue to burn.
Phil Douglas from the Tasmanian Fire Service said there had been no substantial change overnight, with the Repulse and Forcett fires still fairly active.
A heavy dew overnight had prevented backburning, but firefighters would take advantage of mild conditions early on Monday morning to strengthen containment lines.
Authorities are trying to get through Arthur Highway.
"It's a pretty hard thing to put a timeline, but it's a high priority," Mr Douglas told ABC Radio.
The weather bureau expected conditions today to be fairly similar to those yesterday.
Around 400 more evacuees were due to be ferried by boat from the Tasman Peninsula last night, while police were investigating whether it was safe to escort cars out on the closed Arthur Highway.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard will visit the state today.

Wonderful edutainment flash
I worked for a department at a University that would have loved this as much as I do. The flash allows one to easily conceptualize the scale of everything in the universe easily, for example I didn't know x-rays were bigger than atoms, although I never really paid attention during physics. I only gave a 9 because I believe that there are many graphical improvements as well as other additions that would make this a superb flash for any science class-room. Keep up the good work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I'm so impressed that I'm going to show this off to my physics class Monday.

Great work!
I watched this and was so impressed I even showed it to my father.
You've done such a great work, it must've taken you months.

holy crap
How original! How creative! This must have taken alot of research. I'm favoriting this.

D'you ever wake up in a cold sweat with the theme tune to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show playing in your head? Of course you do. We ALL do. But there are some things that were even more terrifying than that nightmarish creation, and it is these things that I am going to remind you of once again today.
If up until this point you thought your only repressed memory was the one where you caught ol' Ma 'n' Pa doing the horizontal salsa in the kitchen, then prepare to have a whole other can of worms opened up for you as I guide you through the top 5 moments that once left your Ninja Turtles jammies suspiciously damp in the morning.
5. The Terrifying Boat Ride – Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory was surreal, yes, but aside from the weirdly stoic expressions on the faces of the green-haired little helpers it never really delved into the inherent darkness of Roald Dahl's classic novel. That is, until the boat ride scene.
Images of tarantulas, eyeballs and giant lizards flash across the screen as Wonka's chants become louder and louder, eventually devolving into nonsensical yet utterly terrifying bellows. But just as soon as it began it finishes, with Charlie & co. exiting the ride and acting as if the previous 2 minutes of horror had never even happened. Unfortunately, it was much more difficult to wipe the boat ride from our own minds.
4. Melted Worm Face – Tales of Worm Paranoia
The "What A Cartoon" shorts that used to air in the 90s on Cartoon Network were well known for being a little bat-shit crazy and, let's face it, probably not ideally suited for a child audience in any capacity. But we watched anyway, as kids do, and got a little more than we bargained for with Eddie Fitzgerald's "Tales of Worm Paranoia".
An upbeat and optimistic worm finds his world turned upside down when he is one day trampled on by a careless human. With his outlook on life worsened, the worm seeks revenge by purchasing "Vitriol" acid in order to pour it on the face of the human who dampened his spirits. The whole episode is unnerving, particularly the worms mentally abusive relationship with his girlfriend, but it is when he accidentally pours the Vitriol over his own face that it reaches a morbid (and horrifically mutilated) peak.
3. Pink Elephants on Parade – Dumbo
Perhaps the only moment on this list to genuinely give me sleepless nights, I watched Dumbo when I was but a few years old, yet to this day the Pink Elephants' marching chant still sends shivers down my spine when I hear it.
Although thankfully being under the influence doesn't cause you to see these eyeless ghouls, if it did I assure you that my liver would be at least 7 times healthier than it is right now.
2. Ren loses it – Ren & Stimpy
Suffice to say that Ren & Stimpy was terrifying at least 80% of the time, but our childlike minds somehow managed to withstand the onslaught of psychotic animation and actually enjoy it.
Looking back on this old clip from the episode "Stimpy's Fan Club", it boggles my mind that kid's parents actually had to force their children to stop watching this show, rather than the kids actively running away from the TV screens screaming and crying at the sight of a deranged Ren methodically deciding upon the best way to kill his oblivious friend.
Honestly, what was wrong with us?!

Ibra pleased with PSG's use of youth
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has praised Laurent Blanc for giving young talents the opportunity to flourish alongside Paris Saint-Germain's world-renowned stars.
• Johnson: Youthful PSG beaten
• Ribery "sad" for Ibrahimovic
Ibrahimovic, 32, has seen the likes of Adrien Rabiot, 18, earn themselves a place in the first-team squad while highly-rated French under-21 international full-back Lucas Digne, 20, and even youth academy products such as Hervin Ongenda have found themselves on the pitch this season.
With top spot in their Champions League group already assured, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva were rested for Tuesday evening's 2-1 Champions League defeat at Benfica and watched on as 22-year-old Kalifa Traore made his first senior start, reinforcing Blanc's strategy of blooding fresh talent.
"Our squad is a good mix of experience and youth," Ibrahimovic told the club's official magazine, 100% PSG. "On the pitch, you don't just have experienced players. The coach has the intelligence to give younger players a chance. The result is that they seize their opportunity and participate fully in the team's success."
Though only 21, Marco Verratti has already become a focal point of PSG's play, and Ibrahimovic sees the partnership he forms with fellow Italy international Thiago Motta, 31, as a cornerstone of Blanc's team.
"Everyone everywhere knows of his talent already. Everyone knows how important he is for the balance of the team. I'm really in admiration of the partnership he forms with Thiago Motta. I've rarely seen a connection as powerful as that between two midfielders," the former AC Milan forward said, before also heaping praise on Rabiot.
"He takes your breath away every time he plays, and it won't be long before he's called up for the senior national team."
Rabiot played alongside Motta in midfield in Lisbon as PSG slipped to their first loss of the group stage.
However, Motta, who captained the side in the Portuguese capital, told Le Parisien it will be the team's more seasoned campaigners who will be the major driving force behind the French champions' bid to return to Lisbon for the Champions League final next May.
He said: "We're serious contenders to win the Champions League. We have experienced players and we're capable of going all the way, but other teams are too. It won't be easy."

Germanic has given rise to only one Jewish language -- Yiddish. This originated among the Zarphatic-speaking Jews of Ashkenaz -- they either moved eastward into German-speaking area or inhabited a Romance-speaking were taken over by a Germanic tribe. Here is what it looks like!
Nothing is known about the Jews of Germany between Roman times and Carolingian -- so Jewish history there begins in 9th century CE. Old High German became the earliest form of Yiddish, some remnants still known: feter/ onkel, mume/ mime/ tante; as well as some elements of Zarphatic: davenen, oren.
Ideas of Max Weinreich:
Thus, the word
gives rise to compounds
not found in German:
Ladino -- La'az, originally a foreign gloss of Hebrew transliteration, based on
" 'am lo'ez" in Psalms 114:1. Probably from
"Lleshon 'am zar".
In Italy: latinar, in Spain ladinar, (also in Provence), or romancar in France aromancer.
Major classical work: _ "Me'am Lo'ez" -- 18th century CE. Started by Ya'akov Kulli, d. 1730, completed by others. An ethico-homiletical work. For a long time, the only literature of Sephardic families, reading considered a religious duty.
A "Diaspora language", like Yiddish. In North, Amsterdam and London. Ladino is not the spoken "Judeo-Spanish," Judezmo is. It is written, but so is Judezmo. It is the product of the word for word translation of Hebrew texts -- Biblical and liturgical -- into a Spanish that goes back to the 13th century. Earliest documents in Ladino from 1540. A semi-sacred language transformed into a vernacular: Judezmo. The latter now very francified because of Alliance (Israelite Universalle) schools. Termed Ladino by Turkish Jews to cover their Jewish identity. Kol Yisra'el broadcasts in - _ Lingua Judio-Espanyol It looks like this.
Judezmo in Mediterranean area:
Zarphatic -- once of great importance, now essentially gone. Spoken in the Rhine-Moselle
area, mother tongue of French in Middle Ages, what is now called Old French. Jews of
Normandy spoke a Norman dialect; in Troyes, Champagnois; in Dijon, Burgundian.
Rabbinical decisions given in Old French, sometimes even language of prayer: Hebrew Gallicized: agin = hayim;
religious terms as well: bonteable = hasid; plain = p'shat.
Jewish names --
Colon = Yonah;
Bendit Barukh;
Vives = Hayim
Quinet = Ya'akov (Jaquinet);
Monet = Shim'on (Simonet)
From 12th century, la'az glosses appeared in French and English Jewry. 6 or more glossaries of Bible from 13th century tens of thousands of old French words. Rashi alone had 1300 glosses in Bible, 3500 in Talmud.
Shuadit -- this name for Judeo-Provencal first used in 1803 by non-Jews in satires and comedies. Oldest texts are glosses in Ittur by Isaac ben Abba Mari of Marseilles between 1170-1193. Other commentaries of 13th and 14th centuries give examples of Shuadit and Catalanit. Only full text preserved are fragments of Esther, 14th century, and translation of Siddur from the 14th or 15th century. Composed in vernacular for women.
Hebrew-French declined in use after the Revolution. Called
ebraico vulgari .
One feature:t,s, tz all become f.
perat --> peraf ;
emet --> emef ;
sekhel --> () fekhe(l) ;
tzurah --> furah .
Also, y becomes sh (ch):
yehudit --> shuadit ;
yayin --> chayin ;
yuge --> chuche .
Italkian -- Italian Jews called
Latino or
Dialect of the 13th century Rome, influenced by other central Italian provinces.
Became frozen after Jews were confined to the Ghetto in Rome from 1555 CE.
Earliest literature from 13th century, a lamentation for _ Tish b'Av. 'Arukh of Natan ben Yehiel of Rome , form late 11th century, contains 600 Italian words. Creation of words from Hebrew roots:
achannoso From chen ;
dabberare from dabber;
achlone from akhlan;
- _ - mal-mazzale mangia-tora (one who reads with great speed);
- perdi-zeman = time-waster;
serichoddi from S'likhot;
tongheva from to'eva = crucifix ;
beridde from b'rit = penis ;
ngarrele from 'arel = uncircumsized.
Yevanic -- a parchment MS of Yonah found in Crete, sale date 1263 CE, is
the earliest known document. Closer to ancient Greek than any relic of
early Byzantine literature. It is continued to be spoken and written in
Janina, Larissa, Chalcis, Corfu, Zante.
Under Nazis some Greek Jews used Yevanic to communicate. Today, except for Ladino speakers, Greek Jews use standard Greek.
Tat -- Tats presumably descend from Iranian military colonies established during Sassanian period, 226-641 CE. Originally a Southwest Iranian dialect. Tati
influenced by NW Iranian and Turkish. Chiefly found in Makhachkala, Derbet, Kuba.
Before 1917 written in Hebrew characters, forced to Romanize in 1929, to Cyrilize in 1939, One of the 9 official and literary languages of Daghestan, in 1959 30,000 Jews listed as their mother tongue.

- OK, in case you missed my warning at the beginning, my scientific
knowledge can best be summed up in these classic lines from "Roswell."
Deal with it. LOL:
MARIA: So, how does electricity work?
KYLE: Why are you lookin' at me? We were both in the same remedial
science class for three years.
Disclaimer, etc., in Prologue
Previous parts can be found at
Logan had to lead me out of the bar; my entire body felt numb. The
bartender's words echoed in my head. "Your friend is dead."
Yourfriendisdeadyourfriendisdeadyourfriendisdead. ... A part of my brain
that still possessed some logic told me not to believe Ororo was dead
until I could see her body, but that didn't help me feel any steadier.
Logan dragged me to the diner, where we met Scott and Jean leaving. Jean
was crying, and Scott had his arm around her. She looked at me. "They
said ..."
I reached out and took her hand in my gloved one. "I know."
"I don't buy it," Logan said.
"Me either," Scott agreed. "It doesn't feel right. And the professor
said she was alive."
"That's right," I remembered. "The bartender said she died two days ago,
but Cerebro located her just this morning."
"OK." Jean brushed tears off her face and nodded. "Let's think about
"The bartender gave us directions to the sheriff's office, next town
over," Logan said. "He would've investigated any ... death."
"Right," Scott said. "Let's go." He hugged Jean close for a moment
before heading for the SUV.
Logan put his arm around me. "She's OK, kid."
"You promise?"
He just sighed and steered me toward the vehicle.
Sheriff Rodney Jacobs' office was pretty deserted, too, and we had no
problem getting in to see him, especially when Scott told him we were
looking for information on a missing person. Logan and I sat in the tiny
lobby across from the receptionist, while Jean and Scott talked to the
I picked up a 3-year-old copy of Redbook and pretended to look at it,
while Logan shifted and fidgeted at his end of the ratty brown couch.
The receptionist was staring at us suspiciously. I don't know what she
thought we were going to do -- steal the ancient magazines or the truly
ugly still life off the wall? I mustered a fake smile for her, rolled up
the magazine and smacked Logan with it. "Settle down, Logan."
"I hate waiting," he said, scowling.
"They'll be done soon. You're worse than a toddler."
I leafed through the magazine and silently prayed that Ororo was all
"Whatcha doin'?"
I sighed. "What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Pretending to read that magazine."
"Well, why don't you pretend to sit still and let me get back to my
pretend reading." He started to say something else, but I cut him off.
"Be still, or I'll have to give you a time-out."
He sat back and sulked. A moment later, he started fidgeting again.
Before I could say anything, the door to the sheriff's office opened,
and Jean came out, smiling. I stood up, dropping the magazine. Logan
stood next to me and grabbed my hand. I knew he wasn't naturally a
touchy-feely kind of person, but he'd been doing things like that a lot
since he'd come back. I tried not to put too much hope in that, but it
wasn't easy.
Jean came over, while Scott finished talking to the sheriff. "She's
alive," she said breathlessly. "She's in the hospital, but she's alive."
"But ... why did they tell us she was dead?" I wondered.
Jean's smile changed to a frown. "A woman did die, but it wasn't Ororo."
"Who was it?" Logan asked.
"They don't know," she said. "The body was badly burned, and there was
no way to identify it. Ororo was found in the same area. She had no
identification, so they couldn't contact us."
"But she's OK?" I asked.
Jean sighed. "She's in a coma. They don't really know what's wrong with
her. I've got to call Professor Xavier and arrange to bring her back
with us."
"Wouldn't she be safer in the hospital?" Logan asked.
"Actually, the professor can probably help her more than they can," Jean
said solemnly. "At least he can find out what's wrong with her."
"OK," I said, tightening my ponytail. "I'm ready to -- oomph!" I found
myself flat on my back, staring at the ceiling in the gym. "Well, that
was uncalled for."
"The enemy ain't gonna wait for you to fix your hair," Logan growled.
"Duh," I said.
Since we'd brought Storm back to the mansion two days before, Logan had
been acting strangely. Faced with an enemy he couldn't identify, much
less fight, he was on guard all the time, and he'd gotten it in his head
to train the junior X-Men to fight. We were already being trained in
martial arts, but Logan wanted to do things his way. Since he had a
protective streak a mile wide when it came to me, I got the most of his
attention. Lucky me.
"Are you just gonna lay there all day?" he asked.
"I'm resting."
He sighed and offered me a hand. Using my hand and one foot, I flipped
him back over my head and got to my feet. I twisted around, but he'd
already gotten to his feet. "How did you --" He rushed me, and I jumped
to the side.
"Logan! Rogue!" Jean rushed into the gym. He turned to her, and I took
that opportunity to tackle him. Sitting on his chest, I grinned down at
him. "The enemy ain't gonna wait for you to stare at a beautiful woman."
The other kids laughed, and Logan almost smiled. I stood up and stepped
back, but I didn't offer to help him up.
"What's up, Jeannie?" he asked.
Jean beamed. "She's awake. She finally woke up."
It was the best Christmas present we could've asked for.
Ororo managed to tell the professor what happened, and a few days after
Christmas she told the story to all of us. All the X-Men, including the
trainees, met in the conference room to hear what she had to say.
She had gone into a field and called up a thunderstorm. A few minutes
later, she was joined by a woman named Erin Nabors, who worked at a
school like Xavier's on the west coast. Erin had been tracking the same
reports of electrical phenomena. She was certain the mutant was a
teen-age girl from Cedar Hollow named Shana Howard. Erin believed the
girl had the power to absorb electricity and turn it into lightning or
transfer it to another source.
Her gift could be turned into a powerful weapon, and the head of Erin's
school feared the girl would be contacted by the Brotherhood. Ororo and
Erin waited for hours, but Shana never showed up, and there was no other
lightning activity in the area. They decided to try again the next
night, and if that failed, go straight to the girl and her family.
The second night, Shana was waiting for them. She attacked with bolts of
lightning, and Erin was killed instantly. Ororo's mutation apparently
protected her physically, but the shock of it overwhelmed her system and
sent her into a coma. The professor was able to help her come out of it,
but she was still weak.
"We have to find her," Ororo said. "I think she attacked because she was
afraid of us."
The professor had uncovered information about Shana. She was 18 and
living on her own. Her parents were killed when she was a child, and
she'd grown up with an aunt and uncle. Apparently, they weren't close,
and she'd been legally emancipated at age 16. I felt a wave of sympathy
for her. I left home at 16 because my own parents didn't want me. I'd
been lucky enough to find Logan and end up at Xavier's. Not everyone was
as fortunate.
"But how do we find this girl?" Remy asked.
"I've located her in New York City," the professor said. "But she's
moving around often, and I'm not sure how we can pin her down."
We tossed around ideas of how to find her and what to do with her once
we did, but nothing was really decided. The professor asked us to think
about the situation overnight, and we would meet again the next day.
Logan and I headed for the kitchen without really talking about it. I
started to mix up the hot chocolate, and he grabbed the bag of
marshmallows. It made me laugh.
"What?" he said. "You can't have hot chocolate without the
"So I've heard," I said. We were quiet for a few minutes. I could feel
him staring at me, but I wasn't sure how to say what was on my mind.
I poured the hot chocolate into two mugs, and we sat down at the kitchen
table. "We've got to find this girl," I said. "I feel like ... well, she
could be me. I mean, what would've happened to me if I hadn't found
"Hey," he scooted his chair closer to mine and brushed his hands over my
hair, tilting my head up and looking me straight in the eyes. "You'd
have been fine. But I'd have been lost without you."
Coming from Logan, this was akin to a
full-out-shout-it-from-the-rooftops declaration of love. I couldn't stop
the tears that started to form. "Logan ..."
"Hey," he said again, putting his arm around me and holding me close.
"It's OK. You don't have to say anything. I mean, it's OK if you don't
feel the same way. I just wanted you to know, so --"
I gave a watery laugh. "Logan, you're babbling."
He frowned. "I don't babble."
"You were babbling," I repeated. He started to argue, but I interrupted.
"You didn't give me a chance to tell you --"
I sighed as the kitchen door burst open. It was impossible to get a
moment alone in this place.
"We found her," Jubilee said breathlessly. "Hurry."
We followed her to the rec room, where the big screen TV showed a
building in flames. It looked like it had been bombed.
The reporter at the scene said the building, which housed several state
governmental agencies, had been empty at the time of the explosion. The
two night watchmen had been knocked out and dumped a mile from the site.
Firefighters were trying to stop the blaze, but it looked like the
building was a total loss. They'd be lucky to keep the fire from
spreading to nearby buildings.
The station switched back to the main anchor, who said new information
revealed that a mutant calling herself Spark had claimed responsibility
for the attack.
"Spark?" Logan asked. "Who comes up with these names?"
Scott shushed him, and Logan quieted. According to the news anchor,
Spark had drained the electricity from the block and sent it back into
the building, causing all the circuits to blow and much of the building
to catch fire. A witness at the scene said he saw a woman flying off the
building before it blew.
Spark was demanding $10 million by noon December 31, or she would make
sure the citizens of New York had a "very unhappy New Year."
"She's doing it for MONEY?" Kitty asked. "How tacky."
Her appalled tone set off laughter, however inappropriate, throughout
the room.
"So," Scott said once we'd all gotten under control. "What does she mean
by a 'very unhappy New Year'?"
"She has to be planning something on New Year's Eve," Jean said.
"Someplace with a lot of power."
"I know were I'd go if I wanted lots of power and people on New Year's
Eve," Jubilee said. She and I were on the same wavelength. We looked at
each other. "Times Square."
LOGAN: You gonna tell me to stay away from your girl?
SCOTT: If I had to do that, she wouldn't be my girl.

WASHINGTON — The man convicted of killing former federal intern Chandra Levy was sentenced to 60 years in prison Friday, putting an end to one of Washington's most sensational murder cases.
Ingmar Guandique, 29, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was convicted in November of two counts of first-degree felony murder, one related to Levy's kidnapping and the other related to trying to rob her.
At the time of her disappearance in 2001, Levy was reportedly having an affair with Rep. Gary Condit, a married congressman from California, and the murder case attracted national attention.
On Friday, District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher sentenced Guandique to 60 years in prison.
Before the punishment was handed down, Guandique stood up, paused, wiped his eyes and addressed the Levy family.
"I am sorry for what happened to your daughter," he said. "But I had nothing to do with it. I am innocent."
Levy's mother also spoke. Standing close to Guandique and reading from statements she, her husband and her adult son had submitted to the court, Susan Levy said: "Because of you, young man, you have caused us to live a Holocaust again. You have sentenced our entire family to days of sadness, tears and heartache. You are a hideous creature."
She closed her statement with: "(expeletive) you."
Guandique just looked at her with his head down, listening on a headphone as a Spanish translator interpreted the hearing.
Fisher called the killing a "truly horrible crime" and called Guandique a "dangerous person."
"Dangerous to women, in particular," the judge said. "And will be a danger for some time. He's a sexual predator."
Prosecutors had asked Fisher to sentence Guandique to life in prison without parole. They said he had numerous improper encounters with women, including attacking a woman at knifepoint in El Salvador before migrating to the United States when he was 19.

Newest Brewer Ray Durham got to make his first play in a Brewers' uni Monday night…but as only a pinch-hitter.
Despite splits to the contrary, skipper Ned Yost started Rickie Weeks at second base…and Weeks delivered, going 2-for-5, scoring twice and driving in three runs to help pace the Crew to their fourth straight road win.
Brewers' starter Seth McClung got behind early, surrendering a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, before settling down to finish five innings and only allowing the two earned runs. The Crew's 3-run fifth gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead before going to the pen in the bottom of the sixth. Guillermo Mota, Eric Gagne, and David Riske each pitched a scoreless inning in the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings, respectively, before Salomon Torres gave up the tying run in the 9th.
But after a Bill Hall insurance home run, Yost decided to stick with Torres, even having him bat in the 10th inning…the Brewers wound up with an additional two insurance runs in the inning, and Torres settled down to earn the win to improve to 5-2 on the year.
The win puts Milwaukee just two back of the first-place Cubs in the NL Central.

Theater Artist Returns to Alma Mater for A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD
Once a Bonnie, always a Bonnie.
That's a commonplace phrase creeping into conversations around springtime on the Olean, N.Y. college campus, but it rings true for Alexandra Herryman, a 2004 Bonaventure graduate returning to her former home to bring her puppetry skills to SBU Theater's production of Robert and Willie Reale's musical A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD.
Herryman, a theater artist, has spent her time since graduation working for various theater companies in Chicago including Silk Road Theatre Project as a stage manager and production manager until a move to Boston to pursue her MFA in theater management. While stage managing for Boston's Puppet Showplace Theatre, Herryman picked up puppetry and began designing and constructing puppets of her own. The Buffalo native relocated to Rochester, N.Y. last November, when she found an opportunity to return to Bona's.
"I reached out to a bunch of people from 'home' just to see if anyone was still left here. Dr. Simone wrote back right away," Herryman said. "When he heard I had been working in puppetry he asked me to come check out what they were doing with Frog and Toad. I came up to sit in on a production meeting, and soon after that was asked to do the design and build for the 'Large and Terrible Frog.'"
Ed. Simone, director of the theater program, said he really enjoyed having Herryman back on campus.
"Allie's a great person to work with," Simone said. "She was a super student, a very good stage manager, so it's fun that she gets to come back and work with our students. It's a good way to spread that energy back around."
Herryman's time with SBU Theater began with an unsuccessful audition in her freshman year for ENTER LAUGHING by Joseph Stein, and even though she said she wasn't sure how to get involved with the technical side of theater, she physically couldn't stay facing the fourth wall.
"I didn't get cast, but my friend Tina Lavis did, and I snuck backstage every night of the show to curl her hair for her in the dressing room," Herryman said. " (The late) Dr. Stephen Gray-Lewis, who directed ENTER LAUGHING, caught me, and for the next several shows had me on board officially as the costume and prop coordinator."
Herryman also creditEd Simone with convincing her she was destined for stage managing.
"I met Dr. Ed Simone in 2002 when he directed the very first one-act play festival," Herryman said. "I remember him asking, 'And what do you do?' I said something like, 'I make lists and I organize things and keep everything in order.' He said, 'Oh, you're the stage manager.' And I said, 'No way!' I was very reluctant to accept so much responsibility and title. He kept after me, though, and I stage managed all through my junior and senior years. "
Even though it has been nearly a decade since she has worked on a show with SBU Theater, Herryman said the Garett Theater still feels very familiar.
"Walking back into the Garrett Theatre is strange. Many things are the same and reinforce the memories I have, but I'm also very aware that time has passed and things have changed," Herrymand said. "When I looked around rehearsal I expected my classmates to come around the corner, but of course this is a whole New Group of folks! It was disorienting and exciting all at once."
Simone said Herryman's final 'Large and Terrible Frog' looks fantastic and perfect for the show.
"She's put together a wonderful, really good large and terrible frog," Simone said. "He is quite formidable - a fun and scary giant frog."
Herryman said the students' dedication impressed her, and she really enjoyed working with everyone.
"I met some great students who are working very hard, giving up their evenings and Saturdays, to make art that they love," Herryman said. "I happened to be around when current student Emily West learned that she got a job at a theatre company for after graduation this year, and it was awesome to see how everyone rallied around her. It reminded me a lot of how I felt when I first got hired at Chautauqua, and I love the fact that SBU Theatre is still supporting students as they go forward into the world."
While the 'Large and Terrible Frog' remains a surprise for the production, which opened last night, Herryman shared one of her secrets about building the giant puppet.
"The big secret about the 'Large and Terrible Frog' is that he's made from a jumbo golf umbrella," Herryman said. "That's my favorite thing about puppetry - using things in totally different ways than what's intended. I love to build with everyday stuff, to put common, recognizable items together and see how they make new shapes."
SBU Theater will present A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD March 20 through 23 at 7:30 p.m., in the Rigas Family Theater at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. The show is directed and choreographed by Ed. Simone, designed by Rebecca Misenheimer and Emily West with musical direction by Ryan Thompson.
Tickets are $8 for the public, $6 for seniors, subscribers, students and SBU employees. For this production, tickets for students under 14 are $2. For more information or to reserve tickets, phone the box office at 716-375-2494. Special group rates are available for students and teachers. Contact Evelyn Sabina, curator of education, at (716)-375-2088 or email@example.com.

1. A new poll showing Texas voters are dissatisfied with the state's Republican leaders would seem to spell good news for the LGBT community. The poll found that voters view Republicans as "arrogant, corrupt, angry and UNWELCOMING." And the poll also may be good news for gay Republicans who are looking to make further inroads in the party, especially given Dallas County Republican Party Chairman Jonathan Neerman's strategy of reaching out to groups like Log Cabin. For more on the poll, as well as my recent interview with Neerman, see next week's Dallas Voice.
2. Speaking of polls, another one released this week found that voters' economic status and religious beliefs played a greater role than RACE or age in determining whether they supported Proposition 8. Much has been made of exit polls showing that 70 percent of African-Americans supported Prop 8, but U.S. News and World Report breaks down the new poll results as follows: "The new poll's sample size of black voters was too small to draw many conclusions, but this much seems clear: Proposition 8 received a total of 6.8 million votes, according to the California secretary of state's final tally, and, at most, about 900,000 of those votes came from African-Americans. If black voters had voted the same way as whites—50 percent for same-sex marriage and 50 percent opposed—the net gain for same-sex marriage supporters would have been slightly more than 500,000 votes. Prop 8 passed by a margin of just under 600,000 votes."
3.In Cinemark boycott news, the organizers of next year's Sundance Film Festival say they'll ensure that no film is screened exclusively in a theater owned by the Plano-based company, according to The New York Times. The idea is to give those who support the boycott an alternative venue in which to see films during the festival. The organizers say it's not feasible to avoid the Cinemark-owned venue altogether. "We don't have an alternative. If we had another theater we could walk down the street to, we might be thinking about that.â€

Quick Tactics: Zul'Gurub
The Troll Heroics are rightly known as being a great deal harder than the "normal" Heroics – but have no fear, if you know the tactics, Zul'Gurub can be fine! Here's a quick guide to Zul'Gurub – you can skim this, or copy it into chat for party members who don't know the place as well.
Before the first boss
After killing the first monster, click on the green cauldron to get a buff which will let you get through the next corridor area. Click the cauldron next to the third and fourth mobs to get immunity from many of their abilities.
First Boss: High Priest Venoxis the Snake Boss
Don't stand on the green lines he conjures (which move – watch out!) or in the mist on the steps. Interrupt Whispers of Hethiss. If you get Toxic Link on you, run away from all other players. When he turns into a snake, don't stand in front of him.
Tank: Make sure you're tanking Venoxis where the melee DPS can reach his back. When he turns into a snake, stand behind him when he casts Breath of Hethiss.
Before the Second Boss
Click the Ice Cauldron to do massive damage to the next non-boss you attack.
Second Boss: Bloodlord Mandokir the Raptor Boss
He'll insta-kill you at some point. Don't worry about it and don't shout at your healer – you'll get a res soon enough.
Avoid the line of earth he conjures and kill the skeletal raptor when he resurrects it.
Third (Optional) Boss: Cache of Madness AKA the Archaeology Boss
This is a random boss.
- Grilek: Run away when he targets you.
- Hezzrah: Kill the adds before they reach their target.
- Renataki: Run away when he whirlwinds.
- Wushoolay: run away when he summons lighting, and avoid the lightning clouds.
Fourth Boss: High Priestess Kilnara the Panther Boss
Tank: Control the boss, but also pull and control the panthers one group at a time.
Damage dealers: Don't attack the boss until all panthers are dead. Interrupt Tears of Blood if you can. AOE the panthers.
Fifth Boss: Zanzil the Crazed Loon
Don't stand in front of him. If you're the tank, don't stand in front of him when he casts Zanzil Fire.
When he resurrects a troll, click the white cauldron, then everyone should attack it. When he resurrects zombies, click the red cauldron and then AOE the zombies. When he fills the room with gas, get the green cauldron.
Before the final boss
Kill at least 3 of the trolls around the central area. You'll need to kill two, but killing a third makes Jin'do much easier.
Final Boss: Jin'do the Hexxer
Run into the purple/green dome when he casts Shadows Of Hakkar. Don't let Jindo stand in the purple/green dome if you're the tank.
After everything goes grey, everyone should stand near one of the bases of the chains. The tank should attack a troll from down below and bring it back up to the rest of the party. When the troll does Body Slam, if it's on you, make sure you're standing near a chain.
Once the Body Slam goes off, the chain will be attackable. Kill it, and repeat on the next chain.
The tank and everyone else should keep the Twisted Spirits off the healer, and everyone should avoid the missiles coming down from above.

Basle (Dec. 9)
The twenty-second World Zionist Congress – first post-war gathering of the highest body of the World Zionist movement – opened here today in the Mustermesse, largest hall in Basle, with an address by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency, in which he appealed to the British Government either to carry out the provisions of the Palestine Mandate "in the spirit and in the letter," or to surrender the mandate after first creating a "political finality" in Palestine by establishing a Jewish State.
More than 370 delegates from 61 countries, as well as 2,000 guests and spectators, including diplomats from various legations in Switzerland, heard the veteran leader of the World Zionist movement bitterly charge Britain with being largely responsible for the annihilation by the Nazis of millions of Jews in Europe. If Britain had not kept the doors of Palestine closed to Jews, under its White Paper policy, many could have found refuge in Palestine instead of being asphyxiated in gas chambers, he stressed. At the same time, he pointed out that the Jews to not want to drive the British out of Palestine, but insist that they carry out the terms of the mandate which provide for the establishment of a Jewish National Home.
Dr. Weizmann made no direct reference in his 5,000-word keynote speech to the question of Jewish participation in the Conference on Palestine which will resume in London next month. Nor did he refer to the burning issue of partitioning Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. These two questions are the central points of interest at the Congress.
The aged Zionist leader scathingly condemned the use of terrorism in Palestine. Terrorist activities, he said, are alien to the Jewish spirit and an insult to Jewish history. "Jews came to Palestine to build, not to destroy," he pointed out. He denounced the "heroics of suicidal violence" and called for the "courage of endurance."
"Terrorist acts," he told the Congress, "apart from being morally abhorrent, are also barren of all advantage. They expose our hard-won achievements to the prospect of destruction, and they lead us to a bottomless abyss of Nihilism and despair." He expressed the certainty that the Congress will support the efforts of the Jewish institutions in Palestine to combat the "vicious movements which threaten the good name of the Yishuv and its very survival."
Dr. Weizmann pointed out that he does not underestimate "the cruel pressures which have been at work" on the minds of Jewish youth in Palestine and have given rise to a feeling of despair. "It was the cruel destiny of our young generation," he said, "to see their kinsmen brutally murdered in Europe while they stood by helpless and impotent. The White Paper policy prevented them from rising to the rescue, and later that policy forbade them to receive the few survivors whom Providence had spared. In their native homeland, the country of the National Home, they found themselves excluded on racial grounds from all but five percent of the land."
Touching upon the question of Arab-Jewish relationship, Dr. Weizmann said that this relationship "is too often envisaged in terms of incompatibility and conflict." He reviewed Arab-Jewish relations since the period following World War I to prove that "it was not always so," and pointed out that the Arab people now possess seven independent states and that they have emerged unscathed from wars which have devastated the Jews.
"Before the whole world I have said that our work has brought no injury to the Arab peoples," he declared. "Against the sterile assumption of conflict, we set the higher conception of potential accord. We wish to bring Jewish effort into harmony with the wider interests of the Middle East. But if we are to do this, the respect which we give to the national rights of others must be recognized for us."
Dr. Weizmann pointed to the recent letter sent by President Truman to King Ibn Saud asserting that it is not against the interests of the Arab world to urge the immigration of Jews into Palestine and the recognition of the Jewish National Home. "I wholeheartedly concur in that opinion," he stated.
"I have mentioned the name of President Truman," Dr. Weizmann continued, "and I would like to express here our deep appreciation for the sympathy and support which the President and the Government of the United States has consistently lent to our cause in these difficult days. Wherever American influence has been brought to bear on our problem – whether in treatment of our survivors in Europe or in the wider issues of preservation and development of the Jewish National Home – we have felt the great liberal impulses of that great country to be warmly alive. For all this, we are deeply grateful." The reference to the U.S. brought applause from the audience.
Dr. Weizmann, whose sight is now seriously impaired, read his address from a specially prepared manuscript in large type. On the platform seated behind him were, in addition to the other members of the world Zionist executive, representatives of the Swiss federal and cantonal governments and of the Basle municipality.
British representatives were conspicuously absent from the diplomatic gallery, but diplomats from 24 other countries were present, including United States Vice-Consul John A. Lehrs and I.F. Lumkow, First Secretary of the Soviet Legation. The British Consul in Basle sent a letter expressing regrets on behalf of the British Minister to Switzerland, T.M. Snow.
A huge portrait of Dr. Theodor Herzl, father of political Zionism, dominated the assembly from the rear stage, flanked by huge blue-and-white flags. The session opened with the playing of Hatikvah as the delegates stood at attention. They remained standing and cheering as Dr. Weizmann ascended the platform. He delivered a short greeting to Palestine in Hebrew, which was broadcast, and then introduced various Swiss dignitaries, including the mayor of Basle, who welcomed the delegates.
Following their addresses, David Remez, chairman of the Jewish National Council, made a brief address on behalf of the Jews of Palestine, during which he invited the next Zionist Congress to meet in Palestine, "the land which Zionism created as a home for all Jewry." Replying, Weizmann said that he, too, hoped that the next Congress will be held in Jerusalem.
Speaking at tonight's session on "Fifty Years of Zionism," Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, who was English secretary of the Second Zionist Congress, held in this city in 1898, called on the Jews of Palestine "to resist, resist oppression of our brothers, but let no deeds soil the blameless record of our long, unsullied history." If the high moral standards of Zionism are forgotten, he warned, it will sink to "the level of rabble-rousing chauvinism."
Reviewing Zionist history, he said that "nothing worse befell us throughout two generations of resettlement than the White Paper, the failure to reject which out of hand was a terrible blunder by all of us," which, he added, "cost the lives of tens of thousands of Jews.
"It is barely credible that the British Government should in one generation descend from the heights of the Balfour Declaration to the depths of Yagour and Cyprusism," he continued. "Surely this government, which long stood as a friend of the Jewish people, will not be satisfied with the role of the betrayer of Zionism."

Amal Hijazi surprised on her birthday
Business manager, Sharbil Domat, of Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi threw a surprise birthday party for the singer. On the day of her birthday, the singer was scheduled to film an episode for the program "Albi Daleeli" (My Heart Knows), which filming for had been intentionally postponed by Sharbil to coincide with Amal's birthday, in order for him to make all the necessary arrangements.
According to the London based Elaph, after filming the episode, Amal was escorted by Sharbil to the Habtour Metropolitan hotel where he had told her that they will be meeting up with a concert agent to talk about her upcoming tour to Malaysia. Upon their arrival, the singer was shocked to find photographers and her family and friends all gathered to celebrate her birthday.
The singer had expressed her joy at the surprise and said that she never thought Sharbil was up to something. The surprise of the party was Lebanese impersonator Bassem Faghali, who had dressed in the same dress the singer was wearing and began impersonating her and sang the song "Ainak" (Your Eyes).
Amal had asked Bassem where he was able to get the same dress she was wearing, but he refused to reveal anything to her.
The singer is preparing to go on tour around the Arab world starting in Kuwait and then heading off to Morocco. After the scheduled concerts, Amal will be returning to Lebanon to work on her upcoming album and prepare for its release, which is scheduled to be in April.
Amal had also signed a contract with a Kuwaiti contact lenses company and will be shooting a commercial in the very near future.

RED BLUFF >> The city of Red Bluff says it may not be able to provide swimming lessons and other services at McGlynn Pool because of a lifeguard shortage.
According to a staff document on the City Council's agenda for its Tuesday meeting, the city has been unable to hire a Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructor, which means no swimming lessons are planned. It also says only five lifeguards have been hired so far, which will affect pool operations.
The pool opens June 9, and will operate for open swim Monday through Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The pool session ends July 18. According to the city's website, the pool session usually runs from June through August.
McGlynn Pool will be available for private parties subject to lifeguard availability, according to the document.
The city will continue to seek qualified lifeguards, but notes that the market is shallow and competitive.
Pool donations
The city of Red Bluff also notes that it expected $7,000 in donations to benefit the pool at River Park this fiscal year, but has so far only received $1,200.
The City Council on Tuesday will consider accepting a donation offer for the Blues for the Pool non-profit group to purchase 20 lounge chairs.
The chairs and associated costs would total about $3,532, which the city would first appropriate to two accounts and then be reimbursed by the non-profit organization.
New position
Council members will take on a recommendation from Public Works Director Bruce Henz to approve a new full-time job whose successful candidate would oversee the Community and Senior Center and have responsibilities within the Recreation Department.
The Community Center and Recreation Department Supervisor position would replace the existing Community Center Administrative Assistant position, and it would cost the city about $10,200 more per year in salary and benefit costs, according to a city document.
The new position starts at about $35,383 per year, and Tehama County would pick up some of the cost because job duties related to the Community and Senior Center are included.
The City Council meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 555 Washington St.

Loupe De Mer En Papillote (Baked Sea Bass Wrapped in Paper)
1 (1 lb) sea bass (gut and scales removed; note use smaller fish for this recipe)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary (about 5 to 6 inches long)
2 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 lemon slices (optional)
olive oil for parchment paper
Preheat oven (390° F, 200° C). Prepare a parchment paper large enough to wrap the fish. Spread a little of the olive oil where you will put the fish on. Next, crush the black peppercorns a little in a mortar and pestle, but it should be coarse though. Remove from one rosemary sprig, the leaves. You can chop them, but I prefer to leave the small leaves as they are.
Clean the fish and brush both sides with olive oil. Salt to taste (inside and outside). Put 2 sprigs of rosemary into the cavity and also add a small piece of butter. If you like, put 2 slices of lemon into the cavity too. Sprinkle a little of black pepper and rosemary leaves onto the parchment paper and then place the fish on it. Cover the fish with the rest of black pepper and the rosemary leaves. Squash the garlic cloves (do not peel them) and place them on top of fish. Cut the butter into small pieces and arrange on top of fish too.
Wrap the parchment paper around the fish to make a package. Fold over the edges to seal the package. Brush a little of the olive oil over the paper. This will protect it from burning. Put the package on a baking tray and bake for about 25 minutes. Serve the fish hot in the package.

As I start to read the threads about what must change/improve for next year, I must put in a plea for JO to stop thinking he is the reincarnation of Jack Sikma. JO's 15-18 foot jump shots must stop if we are to improve next season. Where is the JO of three or four years ago? He could (and would) drive left, go right, spin and use up and unders which would spin the heads of most defenders. Now, we are lucky if we see him with his back to the basket more than once a game. I have watched JO warm up on the practice court. He just isn't that good a jump shooter. In practice, he is lucky to hit 50%. In a game, he's lucky to hit 40%.
This is not a blind criticism. I do realize his shoulder was hanging on by a thread the last few months. My concern is this single "move" has been his first, second and third option for the last 3 years.
JO - there is not a defender (except Rashweed) who can guard you on the low post. Get in there and win us a championship.

San Ysidro swap meet replaced with Goodwill
"Oh yes, we all know it will close at the end of the year."
Marty Graham 3 p.m., Sept. 22
Well, another Restaurant Week done for me. Tonight we returned to a favorite place, Kous Kous Moroccan Bistro in Hillcrest. We were greeted at the door by the man in charge, Moumen Nouri. Gracious and upbeat as always. We were there early and had the place to ourselves for a short time. The service is always excellent and handled expertly by Jason.
The Restaurant Week menu was generous. The first course was a sampler of appetizers. The eggplant was delicious as were the roasted tomato & bell pepper; carrots & olives. I preferred the sausage made with beef & lamb. We ordered an extra goodie, B'stila (stuffed phylo pastry), which is an absolute favorite of mine. A basket of pita bread is delivered to us, warm and tasty. I had the lamb shank entree which was cooked to perfection, so tender & delicious. My friend had the chicken, which she raved about. Both came with kouskous, peas & beans. Very nice indeed.
For dessert, there was a creme brulee that wasn't. It was somewhere between the custardy creme brulee and a pudding. The consistency was more pudding. It was topped with almonds & dates. If you truly love the custardy, crusty (best part) creme brulee, you may not like this. I found it to be wonderful and I have made a request for the recipe.
This is a really good restaurant, in Hillcrest, tucked downstairs, below street level on 4th, just south of Washington, on the west side of the street. Try it, you'll like it!!!! I will be going through restaurant withdrawal and doing the cooking myself for the next couple of months.
So long

Restaurant owner helps workers find jobs after fire
FALL RIVER, Mass. —
The owner of a Fall River restaurant that was damaged in a fire is taking steps to reopen and find jobs for his employees.
A fence surrounds Mesa 21 on Lindsey Street, keeping people safe from the building that caught fire Saturday.
Several guests and employees were inside at the time of the fire. But owner Peter Sousa said his employees stayed calm and got everyone out safely.
Sousa said he's trying to find work for the 25 employees who lost their jobs after the fire. He said several local restaurants and businesses have reached out to help.
Neighboring business owners say hearing that makes them proud.
"Well, it shows character on their part. They're good people. You know it's definitely a great loss for the community. I just wish everybody the best of luck and if there's anything that we can do, we certainly will," said Brad May of Brad's Auto Service.
Sousa said he and his brother hope to reopen the restaurant in about eight months.
He said he feels humbled by the outpouring of community support from the fire department and other businesses.
