Worthington City Council discussion regarding Northland Mall possibilties
On Monday night, the Worthington City Council approved a resolution that designates PBK Investments, a Minnetonka firm, as the sole developer of the Northland Mall property until the end of the year. This allows Brian Pellowski of PBK to proceed forward with plans to redevelop the current site.
Pellowski the council with what he called a workable plan for the site, and I thought some of you might be interested in hearing that plan and the goings on of that portion of last night's meeting. You'll also hear the voices of Mayor pro tem Ron Wood, as Mayor Alan Oberloh was absent, as well as other city council members. Toward the end of today's Talk of the Town, we'll hear from Northland Cinema owners Todd Frager and David Fetters, who also have a lot at stake when it comes to mall development.

Highly recommended
A must-read book for all aspiring musicians and/or those interested in rock music history of the last 60 years. Hal Blaine is one of the top studio musicians (percussionists) and an influence of that era. This is an entertaining, hard-to-put-down book.

|Working a full-time job does not guarantee a family a decent, affordable place to live. Much of our workforce including the people who provide vital services to a community -- teachers, firefighters, police officers, health workers -- often cannot afford to live in the communities where they work or they may need to live in less desireable homes or neighborhoods to be closer to their jobs. One way to address this workforce housing issue is via employer-assisted housing (EAH), a benefit that enables employees to purchase homes or secure affordable rental housing. Learn how to work with local employers to discuss employer-assisted housing (EAH), EAH's benefits and three options (homebuying workshops, one-on-one counseling and financial assistance) employers can implement to help their employees become homeowners or afford a home close to work.

Veteran journalist Kuldip Nayar on Wednesday said he would lead a movement against the proposed Supreme Court guidelines to the media on court reporting which he termed as 'tantamount to another kind of Emergency."
"I will oppose the guidelines if the Apex Court tries to impose restrictions on freedom of the press. Though I hold the Chief Justice of India in high esteem, the issue of guidelines for media is tantamount to another kind of emergency," he said speaking at the V K Narasimhan Centenary Homage ceremony here.
Mr. Nayar said if information is restricted in a democracy, readers would not know what is happening.
Expressing disappointment about present day journalism, he said it has become "conformist, obedient and does not report something which is uncomfortable for the Government".
He said journalism today has not risen to the expected standards and called on young scribes to learn from the lives of renowned journalists like of V K Narasimhan.
Andhra Pradesh Governor E S L Narasimhan, who was present, released an autobiographical work on Narasimhan titled "God's Own Marxist".

Hummingbird Migration map 2014
Its time to start watching for them! especially those further south of me.
Dig out those feeders and clean them up.
My coral honeysuckle has one fan of blooms on it, but it won't be long and the whole thing will be a blaze of red, just in time for the little jewels.
Never really put one feeder away because of a winter hummingbird. It might have gone...not sure yet. But I think I saw a migrant a couple of days ago checking out my plum tree. No blooms on that, just buds, but I have a feeder and then my Carolina Jessamine is blooming. The Coral Honeysuckle is starting to have buds...love that one! Been a long winter and a front's going to come in tonight, I think...we need rain SO bad!
that's so cool you had one winter over. Poor thing it was a cold winter this year. I think they usually winter over this far north only if they are too young, too old or sick to make the trip. :(
And Pam!! You heard one already??? Oh I know that sound so well. Can't wait to hear it again.
When I lived in Granbury, a gardener friend had a couple that hung around all year. She thought that they sheltered in her barn.
Gail, I still haven't seen him or her yet! The feeder looks lonely but I haven't been watching it all the time. Guess I'll bring it in tonight during the freeze.
melvena, there is reliable evidence that many Rufous Hummingbirds since the 1970's have established themselves as over-wintering populations across various locations in Texas and the other Gulf Coast states. They are a fairly cold-hardy hummingbird species and can tolerate freezing weather. I've seen some here for 3 winters so far. They are NOT physically unable to make the trip south...but some of that species has simply changed their wintering areas...for some unknown reason!
I've been seeing Hummers randomly here near Portland, all winter. We had nights as cold as 5 degrees & got nearly 10" of snow, three weeks ago! I thought I was seeing Rufous individuals, However the ODFW states on their website, The Anna's is the only hummingbird regularly found in Oregon in winter. I was so amazed to see one here in winter, I never took the moment to identify it!
I read you should keep a feeder up all year for unexpected migration and the older ones that can't migrate like they should. We had a small family of blue birds stay all year round for a few years for reasons unknown. It sure was fun to see them in the bird bath splashing around every day. We have a robin with a bad wing that just hops around most of the time. It can fly into a tree, but it doesn't hang with the flock. I don't know if it can survive the hot weather here in the summer or not.
My friend in Seattle keeps feeders out all year for his Anna's.............he sends me pics all winter long. He has to keep several feeders as they do freeze and he just keeps swapping them out. You may have Anna's as abundantly in Oregon if you do this.
I have 3 that over winter. Anna's that is, 2 males and a female.
1 male and the female, Aka The Mr and Mrs have been with me for probably 5 years. I believe the other male is a son. This was his second winter.
I bring the feeder in at night and bring back out at dawn or so when we had freezing temps.
I have one male Rufous that should be showing up any time now. He takes his turn..I will put out another feeder for them to guard against each other in June. When they really get defensive of the space they normally share in harmony.

Wonderful pin
By Mugs
from Timmins
I had bought the red ribbon pin in time for the holiday season and it was just perfect to wear, not too heavy or too big. The detail is so beautiful and in such a lovely design that I ended up ordering the green one too!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

One of the things that gets overlooked when talking about music is the difficulty in finding the perfect name for your band. As an artist, you need to come up with something that is evocative, that captures the imagination, but also something that captures the spirit of your band in a few short words. And what you really want to do is avoid picking a name that saddles you as a joke for the duration of your career. No matter how much I may love an album from a band like Spock's Beard, there will always be a part of me that cringes when I have to say the name aloud.
You're going to see your favorite band in concert and there's some group you've never heard of before opening the show. Here's the thing about most opening acts - they're just an inconvenience to get through before the act you came to see takes the stage. The thing for the opening band to remember is when they start, the audience is ready for a show, has high hopes and wants to be impressed. The band has exactly 5.25 seconds to accomplish this. If they're not hooked immediately, the audience could turn ugly.
Dream Theater's new album is one that I can't help but judge with unrealistic expectations. Their previous album, "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", was not just an amazing album, or the best album in the band's storied history, it was so much the perfect encapsulation of what I think progressive metal to be that it has risen to the point where I call it my favorite progressive metal album of all time. It's high praise, to be sure, but every time I listen to that record, I'm amazed by how the band can take such technically demanding material and mix it with some truly glorious vocal melodies.
"Thrash /THraSH/ (verb) - to beat violently and repeatedly". This definition fits the band Conquest and their newest album, "The War We Rage", perfectly. Thrash metal as a genre has been around now for more than 30 years. To be defined as a thrash band requires you to stay true to certain compositional elements which were developed "back in the day" and repeated time and time again. These are generally low-register, "chugging" guitars, double bass drumming, high-register guitar solos and screaming vocals. Conquest is truly the definition of thrash.
In the grips of the retro rock revival, one of the things that remains lost on us is how staggeringly creative bands of that time were. They didn't just push the boundaries of popular music, and define rock as we know it, they did it at a pace that is unimaginable today. The Beatles' entire career lasted nine years, during which they wrote, tossed out, and re-wrote the rules several times. Life and music were different back then.
Anyone who knows me, or has read enough of my writing, knows that I'm not much of a fan of death metal. Most of it is too sloppy, too noisy, or just too far removed from what I consider the heart of music for me to get a lot of enjoyment from it. I understand why people love it, but I would never be able to throw myself headlong into the genre. In a discussion I had with my colleague Drew a while back, I challenged myself to make a list of my five favorite death metal albums. Smack dab in the middle of that list was Carcass' landmark "Heartwork".
Music is art and, as such, there are endless interpretations and styles to be had. Throughout history, there have been many, many musicians who have used a basic and culturally approved composition structure to put together a product which is readily digestible by the masses and the "art" of the music becomes lost in a sea of glory-hounds and pre-cast corporate templates. Every once in a while we are treated to an artist who breaks the music down to it's most basic parts and attempts to create a product that pushes the boundaries of what we have come to expect from our musicians.
The bedrock of progressive metal as we know it is built upon two bands; Dream Theater and Fates Warning. With apologies to fans of Queensryche, it's the truth. No bands have been more instrumental in the development, propagation, and flourishing of progressive metal than those two standard-bearers. While Dream Theater has been earning accolades, and racking up bigger sales and a higher profile through the years, Fates Warning has faded into the background. After their landmark "A Pleasant Shade Of Grey", Fates Warning has been the forgotten legend of progressive metal.
As time goes by, it becomes increasingly difficult to do reviews of GWAR albums. The simple fact is, there are only so many ways in common English that you can say "well, it sounds like GWAR." Amidst all the blood and fluids that GWAR has dispensed over the last thirty years (or thereabouts, which seems unbelievable,) the band has quietly been highly prolific, never waiting more than three years to unleash a new album on their faithful followers.
I'm often confused by the things that become popular. My mind and my aesthetic aren't compatible with common wisdom, so I'm often at a loss when it comes to understanding how certain elements become wildly popular, while others that may have more obvious merit are left by the wayside. Tyr brings this to mind, here presenting us a concept album about the voyage of a Viking warrior riding off into battle to impress the Gods. Viking mythology is certainly interesting, but it baffles me how Viking -themed metal has become such a large part of what we hear every year.

The surface temperatures on Mars rise and fall twice a day instead of once each as on Earth. The phenomenon has long perplexed scientists, but according to new research, the answer may be found in water-ice clouds floating about six to 18 miles above the Martian equatorial surface.

Published in Technology
Keywords: Mars. atmosphere, clouds, temperatures, water-ice
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Resembling thin cirrus clouds on Earth, the clouds absorb infrared light coming from the planet's surface. That absorption is enough to heat the middle atmosphere each day.
"We think of Mars as a cold and dry world with little water, but there is actually more water vapor in the Martian atmosphere than in the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere," Armin Kleinboehl of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California says.
"Water-ice clouds have been known to form in regions of cold temperatures, but the feedback of these clouds on the Mars temperature structure had not been appreciated. We know now that we will have to consider the cloud structure if we want to understand the Martian atmosphere."
Mars. Like Earth, experiences a temperature maximum in the middle of the day. Mars also sees a temperature maximum a little after midnight. Kleinboehl, the lead author of the study, says the temperature swings can be as much as 47 degrees Celsius as detected by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. These swings in temperature were found to be "dominant globally and year-round."
Changes in wind, temperature and pressure repeating daily, or for fractions of days, are called atmospheric tides, and they are created by temperature contrasts. While Earth itself experiences atmospheric tides, they don't create vast temperature changes in the lower atmosphere. Because Mars only has about one percent as much atmosphere as Earth, these atmospheric tides "dominate short-term temperature variations throughout the atmosphere," Kleinboehl said.
These patterns on Mars were first seen in the 1970s, but were previously thought to occur only during dry seasons.
"We were surprised to find this strong twice-a-day structure in the temperatures of the non-dusty Mars atmosphere," Kleinboehl said.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
john1981, oh no, we only complain of being accused of being Hitler-like by people whose Nationalism was a good ally of the Nazi regime. Nothing else.
Clearly, the writer is biased in his opinions. If nothing else, it is very clear from the comments: we Catalan Nationalists believe it is extremely biased, you Spanish nationalists are exultant. I understand that a report should be unbiased, and any rational person on any of both sides should agree mostly with the contents of any The Economist report (maybe commenting on some details). The fact that opinions are so extreme is a proof that the report itself is extreme and biased.
An article based on the opinions of Savater and Rosa Díez, both promoters of the ultra-nationalist party UPD (Spanish nationalism, of course, which means that they deny being nationalists while pursuing all the policies and objetives of the so-called nationalist, only more extrem) is always going to be so lopsided as to be worthless. And not a single contrary opinion to give it some fairness. Accuracy is not a question: it's all just opinions, and very strongly Spanish nationalistic opinions.
It says a lot that nearly ever Catalan nationalist on this board is:
1) Maliciously attacking any person who questions any aspect of Catalan nationalism
2) Alledging that The Economist has somehow been bribed or bought off by "Madrid".
And it's frankly embarrassing that the regional government of Catalonia is asking for The Economist to apologize for this report. Exclusionary, tribal mentalities are not the way to thrive in the 21st century.
Se�oras y Se�ores,
We, the Spanish people -that's the ones living in the Iberian peninsula as a political entity since the Roman age- have always had the sin of self criticism ourselves until destroying the political oponent (i.e. 1936)
As the article outlines the local elites (mainly Local Church and Caciques), hungry for power and money, brought the nationalists movement in the XIX century. Catalu�a never has had any political entity as such, as before the Spanish state foundation it was a subject of the Aragon Crown and then of Spain. The vasque country opted to be a subject of Castilla to avoid Navarra domination and then became a part of Spain. We cannot change history.
Now at the longest period of social and economic development, we still blame each other crimes of decades ago; we keep on dividing and generating hate. People support ETA or Carod happy after Madrid did not get the olimpics.
The Spanish State has been generous and is winning the game to the nationalism; all nationalisms are led to falliure as they only have a single political goal. They succeed in the claim of their historical rights and then disappear; or, as the Spanish localisms will, fail sooner or later as nobody can claim back what never possesed.
An optimistic espa�olito,
Thomas Hobbes
You have painted a perfect portrait
A great picture of today's reality in our nationalists cornered country. Totally reliable.
The nationalist claim for freedom, but in their regions it means freedom just for them. Only they own the truth and whoever dares to contradict them is labelled as a fascist.
They are rewriting history as they like, however they can`t hide the truth. Every single poll is showing they are a minority. Catalunya has got passed its "state-of-the-art" "estatuto" by an astonishing majority of less than forty per cent of its population. This is why they can't dream of being independent.
Josep de Vilanova spoked about giving back what castilian power took from the nations that "existed" in the medieval ages. According to history books, the only Kingdoms that existed in Spain in 1492 were Castile, Leon and Aragon. Any of the regions that currently speak catalan were attached to the crown of Aragon, and never constituted a political entitiy in its own.
xcar, You haev to have a pretty good pencil to be able to quote such accurate figures and facts over dinner. YOu are questioning the professinalism of a very serious publicaiton without facts, the only facts are te ones stated in th earticle, 23 years of pujol, the impossibility of aducating your kids in your own languaje etc.
Even here in the uk we have more respct for the chinese languaje than in catalounia fr the castellano, and these my friends are facts
Accurate article:100%.I felt relieved of a great soul�s pain when I saw that abroad our country someone knows what�s exactly happening in Catalu�a and P. Vasco specially. Sometimes, when you talk with people living in these areas, you feel they are blind, or they want to be blind, even you think if there is only hate which inspire them:They talk about Franco(33 years dissapeared)and consider it as a safe-conduct to a reactionary feelig of separatism. They are privileged spanish, but their politicians and journalists only try to pervert real things in order to manipulate their point of view. They�re loosing economical power when they use their money to impose their language against one�s wll (as Their beloved Franco did). Some years ago Barcelon was the 2nd. most important city in Spain withouth doubt, today you can see this is not true... but they are happy because their money is being well used promoting, by law, Catal�n. And they�re happy and ...blind.
What a narrow minded article. Every one who knows the real situation, understands that the author has been instructed (may be in a dinner) by the socalled Spanish nationalist, but in fact people trying to keep the prominence which Madrid gained under Franco regime over other territories forever. The use of Catalan and Basque comuities is just an instrument to point a "common enemy" to justify the continous practice of plundering against all peripheral territories. During decades, the Madrid strategy of pointing Catalans and Basque as responsible of everithing bad, has given good result to prevail the prominent status which they do not deserve by their daily work and capacity. The author of this article simply follows this well designed strategy.
Nationalists in Spain they only have a target: split Spain and make almost life together impossible. They spare no expenses in such purpose. It's like modern fascist, managing every small detail in such regions: education, TV, press, social organisations, culture, art. Everything is under control of separatist. They educate kids to disown of their real nationality and Spanish culture. However it costs big amounts of money, that obviously should be rather invested in infrastructure, telecommunications, investigation, and those areas that would return the investment back in terms of development and social welfare.However discuss common sense issues, as described, is almost impossible with those educated under their regime; young generations, since Mr Pujol educated them as mules, all of them repeat an automatic speech claiming an invented nationality that never ever historically existed. They rather just claim a collective suicide, running against modern societies trends; mediocre people can only have a relevance in protected societies, should they compete in equality of terms instead, but it is reject that obviously.However, they where punished by the history and they will, once again: When you pull an extreme by forces balance you radicalise the other end. Just now a new feeling against nationalist is growing fast, some young people all over Spain is becoming tired an refusing Catalan and Basque people openly. A new generations is becoming more and more identified with modern Spanish idea, plus last success in top sports: Football, Basketball, Tennis, Formula1, etc... are helping people to feel more open expressing feelings.I'm sure the history will bill the nationalists, this is just a question of time.
As a spaniard living abroad and 'distant witness' of the recent history of my country, I feel that this artice has made a fairly accurate picture of the situation in spain.
I recently had a student from catalonia in my house who exposed the situation of imposing the catalan onto the citicens without giving thenm choice to continue with what will always be the universal langague of the spanish nations abroad. Get real, nacionalists have their own agenda of power and use the regional languaje as their weapon. They are trying to do ot the spanish languaje what they complaint franco did to theirs.
They have learn nothing and unfortunately the ew generations wil again have ot pay the price of overenphasizing a point that has already been taken in Spain. We are a country of differences , a majestic mixture of cultures and should celebrate this fact instead of fighting over the ritches to see who gets the biggest portions. An the greedy ones know who they are themselves......
After having read the article, I must say it is pretty fair reflection of the actual political situation in Spain.
This is a bit of a surprise coming from The Economist.
Con el permiso de todos y pidiendo disculpas a todos los que se sientan agraviados, realizar� mi comentario en mi lengua materna.
En primer lugar creo que el art�culo refleja bastante bien lo que ocurre en este pais, aunque no guste.
En segundo lugar, como habitante del Pais Vasco, y por tanto testigo de primera fila, lo que aqu� existe como en el resto de autonomias, es un chiringuito soberbio, el chollo de los chollos, y para que siga siendo as�, ahi que tensar la cuerda de vez en cuando. De momento las autonom�as no nacionalistas son bastante tranquilas, pero veremos c�mo poco a poco se van desmelenando y reivindicando derechos hist�ricos.
En tercer lugar, est� de moda mentar a todas horas a Franco y la guerra civil. As� ya tienen un malo para desviar la atenci�n siempre que surja alg�n problemilla inconveniente (chanchullos de comisiones, p.ej.)porque siempre ser� el origen de todos los problemas.
Y por �ltimo, he tenido la fortuna de conocer a gente de toda Espa�a, ni uno que no haya sido un encanto. Pero tambi�n la desgracia de conocer cerca de mi entorno a verdaderos manantiales de odio hacia cualquier cosa que represente Espa�a, siendo originarios ellos mismos de su odiada Espa�a. Muchos dar�an una parte de su cuerpo por ser un pata negra con pedrigr� euskald�n.
Vamos, para llorar.
Superior??? What we feel is oppressed.
And of course, I do not want to have anything in common with a Nationalism that was in good terms with Hitler, Mussolini and exterminated most of the people in South America.
I also believe that the Catalans and Basque people felt and probably today still feel superior to other Spaniards simply because there were richer as they were more industralise than the rest of Spain.
What trenator has just said it is very important, and I will repeat it again:
By the law, the only language that is compulsory to learn by law is Spanish.
Any other language (Galician, Basque, Catalan, ...) is not compulsory.
Bilingualism anyone?
It is revealing how much praise this article is getting from the Spanish nationalists. The message in many a Spanish forum is to come here and say how great this special report is. These are people who never read The Economist, except for this very biased article.
The truth of the matter than the most pernicious nationalism in Spain is that of the Spanish nationalists, whose dogmatic views on Spain are enshrined in the Constitution, which enforces the obligatory use of Spanish, grants the Army powers to prevent any threat to the "integrity" of Spain, bans political parties, and so on.
Spain is going the same way as Serbia, the same way as the Serbian Manifesto of 1986, protraying a reality that does not exist, whilst being oblivious to their own expansionist nationalism.
For it is the case that the very nature of Spanish nationalism is the suppression of Catalan and Basque identity, at whatever cost and by whatever means: political repression, cultural genocide, fiscal asfixiation, and so on. To this day by more subtle means by to the same effect.
For all the bile about Catalan language, there are still many people in Catalonia who refuse to learn/speak Catalan. Yet, everyone is obliged to learn/speak Spanish, mandatory, it is the Law. What law is this that makes some languages compulsory and others optional? Because that guarantees the demise of the "optional" language, which is what many Spaniards want.
This is what they have achieved in Valencia, where the local language is all but dead. Where Valencia led, Catalonia will follow and all this posters will then be happy: Catalan language will be dead and with it, Catalan identity and nationhood.
Why not make Spanish and Catalan equal under the Constitution? Why not have a federal state? Because it is the very nature of the Spanish state to obliterate the other national cultures and identities in Spain. And so far it is working.
-for the labelling of catalans as fascists, read my previous post
- for the "remain in power forever" ... well, Catalans vote for them in the elections, this is democracy, right?
- It is false over 60% of catalan population are native spanish-speakers, but even if it were, people are extremely happy their children learn catalan at school, because they learn Spanish just being embedded in society. You picture as if all spanish-speakers wanted their children to be educated in Spanish, and this is false: in 2005 I think there were 4 parents (4, not 4 milion) who asked Spanish for their children.
- "can you imagne something like this in UK or any european country?" Oh yeah, I heard the other day the UK is giving the option to Muslim parents to let their children to be taught in Arab in school.
And of course, Spanish nationalists are very good people, with no history whatsoever of killing and torturing (ah, no, we are not talking about killing and torturing in Catalonia, we are talking about 3 hours of schooling in Spanish only ...).
The Spanish government will not allow the Basque Country to celebrate a popular consultation as to whether Basque people would like the Basque government to initiate talks with the central government about a possible independence referendum. Why are we different from the Scottish and the French Canadian? Why cannot we decide whether we want to form our own independent states? Why? Some of us do not want anything from Spain, but we are not given the chance to do anything about it, even by peaceful and democratic means.Who is the fascist??

I got the ol box store switcheroo! (Lizalily!)
Bought Penelope from either OSH or my garden center because I needed a yellow/orange blend for my yellow/orange section.
Then I went online and saw some Penelope's from growers that were NOT yellow orange. In fact, Dave's garden says Penelope is Mauve, Lavender and Lilac. Now mine is blooming and it is neither - I have a rather strange combo of a dinner plate sized Reddish dahlia with gold cream edgings around the red. It almost looks like Bodacious from the side.
Lizalilly - I noticed on another thread you said you had a Penelope. What color is it?
My Q: is this common for there to be same names on dahlias or is it because some are European but many others grown in the USA and neither cares what the other side has used as names? Or did I get the old "Oops, sorry" switcheroo where the wrong tuber went in the wrong package?
Wow, that must have been an old thread when I had Penelope, she is gone from the garden for at least the last 3 years! But Penelope was definitely on the yellow/orange gold side. I can't remember specifically except that I never felt her color was quite up to par and that she needed more sunlight then she got here except for a week or two of summer when she was really pretty. I have not replaced her now that she is gone. I planted her about 12 years ago, and I think she came from either Costco or Home Depot then in a package with another one.
Hi dahlialove
That 'penelope' is a beauty. I don't see the orange you mention but the yellow/lavender combo is fantastic. And of course it is nothing like the catalogs says a real Penelope should be.
My "Penelope" has morphed into a dinner plate - mostly red with dirty yellow gold in the middle but the kicker is all leaves have white tips. It looks a lot like (and actually may be) a Nick Sr, though the pics of Nick are much more red than mine. It is a Semi cactus and I actually cannot make up my mind if I like it or not. I am NOT a fan of Bodacious either - too busy for my taste - which may explain why Nick Sr would not be a favorite. But I moved it away from where I sit in the yard to the back section and it is starting to 'grow' on me. (Maybe out of sight, out of mind?)
I may have taken a pic of it and am getting the photos developed now so I may have a picture soon, which I will post as a "Anybody know this dahlia?" thread later. For now, I know some of you have Nick Sr and I wonder if yours have white rolled tips and if some are more gold than red?

GSA cuts 1,000 noncompliant vendors from IT schedule
Kay Ely, GSA's director of IT schedule programs in the Federal Acquisition Service, said removing 1,000 vendors who weren't meeting the minimum annual sales requirement of $25,000 a year is saving the agency about $3.2 million a year in administrative costs. At the same time, GSA is adding 30-to-40 new vendors each month to Schedule 70 as part of its effort to make sure agency customers have access to new, innovative companies.

Cheap Thrills Exposes Human Awfulness
By Alan Scherstuhl
Sounds good, but don't forget that this is the same Jet Li who said that last year's idiotic Unleashed, in which he played a man raised to think that he's a kung fu fighting dog, was "my best work yet" (according to that movie's official Web site, anyway). Disillusioned by fans who have praised his combat ability over the years, Li has come to worry that viewers weren't getting the right message about martial arts, and now seems determined to make the audience pay a hefty penalty in sappy drama just to enjoy a few cool fight scenes.
In other words, maybe you should be glad this is his last. The first half-hour or so is indisputably awesome, beginning in 1910 Shanghai as Li's Huo Yuanjia takes on three international challengers in a tournament and dispatches them with ease. Just as he's about to meet the final contender, the film flashes back 30 years to his childhood as the son of a great martial artist (Collin Chou). Traumatized when he sees his father lose a fight -- and not realizing that his father held back for fear of killing his weak-hearted opponent -- young Huo (Lu Yuhao) vows that the family will never lose again. Before long he has grown into Jet Li, a loving but absent father.
At this stage, plot is but the merest of frameworks to get us to the fights: Huo on an elevated platform against a childhood foe, Huo fighting one-handed in the rain while holding an umbrella in the other, Huo using an opponent's swords plus a pole to tie the rival in knots, Huo facing all remaining challengers at once. But Huo is not the disciplined Mr. Miyagi type, and enjoys his wine and ego a little too much. When a nonsanctioned fight goes too far and brings terrible retribution down upon him, he flees the city and goes into voluntary exile. So does the movie.
Rescued at sea and brought to a farm, Huo learns how to be calm and engages in some tedious crops-as-metaphor-for-life nonsense. The whole thing brings to mind Beavis and Butt-head's critique of Danzig's "How the Gods Kill" video: "This was pretty cool until he started getting all wimpy." Fight fans, take note -- once this happens, there are only two more battles remaining, and neither is the equal of what has been shown thus far.
After what we're told is "many years," though it doesn't play that way at all, Huo grows back his long knotted ponytail -- the same look he sported in the vastly superior Once Upon a Time in China -- and returns to the city to visit the graves of his loved ones. He finds that times have changed, as white men preach the Bible in the streets, and a seven-foot American giant named Hercules O'Brien (Australian wrestler Nathan Jones, better at fake-fighting here than he was in WWE) has belittled all Chinese men as weak, challenging all comers. Huo gets back in the game, but will no longer sign death waivers, and establishes a school called the Jingwu Sports Federation. This part of the tale is true, and the organization is still around today. But as for the rest of the story's accuracy...did people in turn-of-the-last-century China really say, "He wants to kick your butt!" and "What's your deal?"
In these troubled times, it's nice to hear a message of world peace and to see a master of hand-to-hand combat demonstrate that withholding the killing blow can be more persuasive than the alternative. But this is an action movie, and people don't come to be preached to; the Terminator flicks also favored world peace, but didn't pause the action for nearly an hour to rub it in.
