From the moment Jesse Baker collides with Erin O'Grady on a Boston train platform, he faces a dilemma. For once, Jesse doesn't want to lie about who and what he is. Yet if she learns he's a con artist, not a cowboy-and the urchin with him is certainly not his brother-she'll never give him a chance.
Erin suspects there's more to the enigmatic cowboy than meets the eye. But the sheltered socialite is certain his deep compassion is real. On the long Christmastime train ride to Wyoming, hearts and courage are tested and true motives revealed. And the journey that began in a charade may end with redemption-and a very real love.

Ultimate Guitar Tip
How to be a Good Electric Guitar Player
Like many guitar players I comfortably move between electric and acoustic guitar, I also swap from plectrum to fingerstyle without even giving it a second thought and will often play both in the one song. This wasn't always so and it took quite some years to get to the point where the transiton was seamless, or in a way thoughtless, in this case thoughtless means without thought, not careless.
In the initial stages, as a rule most players want to be able to play just like the great or famous and not so great players and it takes quite some time to develop ones own musical voice, this means our own particular way of expressing through the guitar. But there are many players that don't develop their own musical voice but just rehash the work of others, to be honest with you I am not interested in that sort of guitar playin at all, and if that's where you are at you're probably at the wrong site.
Generally, if a person doesn't undertake some sort of formal or semi formal lessons that are well structured to take a player through a step by step process, which is well thought out to cover all aspects of music, the player will be missing a lot of real musical pieces and much of what they do will be imitating riffs and solos and playing rhythm parts of songs that they like. This is all very well but in the long run, it is an incomplete proceass and it will be a very long pathway to becoming a balanced guitar player musician who is equiped to play professionally.
The trouble with a lot of guitar players is they often only learn to play little bits of songs, does this sound familiar to you? A bit of a solo here, a riff, a rhythm pattern, a couple of chords, a few scales or modes and lots of facial grimaces and other odd expressions. When you look at the previous scenario and analyse it, you'll see that is very, very common amongst guitar players, particularly electric players and it is a very fragmented approach. Acoustic players will often play songs from end to end as they will sometimes sing as well, but this is not always the case.
I have an extremely simple solution to enable any guitar player to bring all the pieces together and become a good solid player who is capable of developing in a balanced way. Because I started playing 39 years ago and had formal lessons from very well respected guitar player / musicians, it gave me a great insight into what is required to develop wholistically as a player. The training I had involved the standard (what a lot of people would consider boring stuff), this included reading dots (musical notation) , understanding keys, improvisation using scales and modes, chord substituion, ear training and playing arrangements of tunes; the arrangements were complex by todays standards and were generally jazz tunes, or tunes with a truck load of chords in lots of different keys. Although all the things I have mentioned are extremely valuable, and in the long term are essential elements, I'm confident beyond a doubt that the most important of these things was playing solo arrangements of tunes (not to be mistaken for solos in the middle of songs).
And here's why. Simply, you are playing music, and this is the goal that needs to be kept in sight always, but the following is very important. When you play an arrangement of a song you generally play an intro, a good intro often hints at the song without playing the song itself, it will spell out where you are going. Learning to play good intros will help you develop an ear for coming in on time at the right place when you get the opportunity to play with other players. A well designed intro is fantastic for working with other musicians because there'll be no questions about where you are and where the song starts, this is essential; an audience, whether they are fully attentive or not will automatically, subconsciously make a decision on whether the song is going to be ok or not as soon as it starts, if musicians are not together in an intro they'll have to work that much harder to get the audience interested in the music; the audience will automatically tune out if it's not right.
When you enter the next part of a song, generally the verse, it is very important to be able to play a strong melody, this doesn't mean to be stiff in your playing but a good melody is alwys hummable and very MUSICAL. I developed a strong sense of melody by consciously sitting down and working out dozens of vocal lines of songs (in my case I read the music dots) . The way you phrase a melody is what will define you as a player, knowing just when to pause and exactly how long to be silent for, how long to hold the note to the minutest degree ; also having the ability to slide or bend notes and to play around with the dynamics of the notes, this means the volume and intensity, making sure there is a variation.
With the chorus of the song the same principles apply as when playing the main melody of the verse. What you will need to do is to initially is to learn to play the essential notes of the accompanying chords of the song, this does not need to be complex and in the early stages when you first learn a tune, you may like to just play the chord for just one beat whenever they change and use the melody note on top (the highest sounding note) of the chord, regardless, what is important is you get in the habit of playing melodies and chords together. As time goes on you can be a little bit more inventive and play around with moving bass parts a little and playing additional passing chords.
Knowing exactly where you are with the chords at all times will enable you to start to improvise. Initial improvisation when you are starting out may just be adding a few notes here and there to the melody and as you become more advanced you will be able to move further away from the melody and also subsitute some of the chords. Learning a few blues and country scales will be very helpful in giving you some simple ways of adding interest to the improvisation without having to fry your brain with comolex modes, and in many cases you'll find that using country scales are much more sensible than many of the other scales that could take you hours to learn but are really just major scales with fancy names because they start oln a different note than the key you are in.
OK, so where to start?
- Pick a simple song that you are very familiar with, just learn the melody, learn to hum it, if you think you can't sing, hum it even softer
- You may find that the melody is more suited to be played in another key on the guitar than the original one; if necessary play the melody starting on another note, make it easy for yourself so when you eventually add the chords you won't have to do finger gymnastics to play the chords and melody together and then find yourself giving up in frustration.
- The next step is to add the chords, make sure it is a simple chord pattern, if need be, leave out a few chords to start with. Often songs will still sound pretty right by dropping a few chords, you will be able to add other chords and additional parts later on.
- Once you have gotten to the point where you can play the melody and chords together, start to work back through the song playing the melody and chords with a small variation. Each time you play it through, alter it a little.
- When you are confortable with this, play the song through just using the chords and leave out the melody. Train your ear to hear where the chords are changing, I suggest that practice in your head without the guitar and visualise changing chords in your mind.
- Next, play only the chords once exactly where they change, if a chord goes for a while and is repeated, just change it on the first beat of each bar.
- Next play the chord followed by adding a little bit of guitar inprovisation, keep it simple, it often helps to hum what you hear in your head and then play it.
- After you have worked through the chords and improvise a few times, go back and play the melody and chords together again, as in step three and after you've done that a few times, return to the improvisation again. Keep it reasonably loose, there's no need to be in a hurry.
- At some point you'll need to add a simple ending; endings should be obvious sounding.
If you apply the above technique to a number of tunes, you'll find your playing will become very strong. You should aim towards being able to play in a manner as if you were accompanying a singer and suddenly he singer fell off the stage, you will automatically be able to take over instantly playing the melody and chords as if it was meant to be. You can always ring the hospital later to find out if the singer is ok. :-)

Titles similar to Art Panels, Bam! Speech Bubbles, Pow!
Two new entries in the picture-book-size Writer's Toolbox series explore two very different mediums—plays and comics—but, taken together, underscore the importance of basic fundamentals in effective writing. Both books combine original artwork and a number of "Tools" to get the creative juices flowing. Art Panels, Bam! Speech Bubbles, Pow! features a young girl creating a comic about a dog and his lost bone and starts out with fairly broad directives to read other graphic novels for inspiration and brainstorm story ideas, before getting into graphic-novel-specific tips on laying out panel arrangements and dabbling in emanata and speech bubbles. When the tools get a bit vague (like how exactly to go about making thumbnail sketches), the art picks up the slack to more clearly convey what is being discussed. A handful of "Getting Started Exercises" provide even more fodder for artistic inspiration in these genuinely good-natured and helpful introductions to creative writing.

By Ken Nelson (Bainbridge Island, WA) on Jan 27, 2011
Comments: We purchased the in-home set-up option. Glad we did, the first machine could not be assembled even by the trained technicians. Jared and Andrea in the Sales dept. saw to it that we had a new machine at our home in one week, and it went together perfectly. Absolutely superb customer service to recover from an initial show-stopper. Cudos to them, and to Nordic Track for giving them the authority to move quickly. I can't say enough good things about these two. I hope they represent your entire corporate culture. So far, so good. My wife and I have been on the machine daily since Dec. 10, total 1 to 2 hours per day for the both of us. We're brisk walkers, not runners, so we haven't really 'tested' the machine yet, but it is quiet and feels very robust. We like the simplicity of the displays, and the mostly "one-touch" controls. But in our little "den" room, it's like living with the Starship Enterprise! (I guess that's part of the robustness.) When we were researching which treadmill to get, we noticed that belt-centering issues were mentioned in some reviews of this product. We found the belt on-center when we got the machine, and after supposing it was a bit tight from the factory, talked to your tech support folks about loosening it to avoid excess fatigue on the motor, which they recommended and which we did. The process was simple, and the belt is still reliably on-center.

New Report Also Finds Items from Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Quiznos, and KFC Put Fans at Risk with High Levels of Calories, Fat, Cholesterol, and Sodium
WASHINGTON—The Deep Dish MeatZZa Feast from Domino's Pizza tops a list of the five most unhealthful Super Bowl foods for game day parties, according to a new analysis by dietitians with the nonprofit Cancer Project. Papa John's Meats Pan Crust Pizza and KFC's new Honey BBQ Wings are among the other items singled out in "The Five Worst Super Bowl Party Foods" report.
To compile the report, Cancer Project dietitians reviewed nutrition information for items on the menus of five fast-food chains offering party food for game day. The five most unhealthful items were ranked from worst to least bad. The Deep Dish MeatZZa Feast, which contains an extra layer of high-fat cheese, pepperoni, ham, beef, and Italian sausage, topped the list because a single serving contains 430 calories, 22 grams of fat, and a whopping 1,440 milligrams of sodium—more than half the daily maximum.
The report found that most popular Super Bowl party items are high in fat, saturated fat, calories, and cholesterol, and many also contain processed meats and grilled meats, which are linked to increased cancer risk. Even a single very high-fat meal can increase the risk of a heart attack, according to some research, and sports fans are already at increased danger of a heart attack while watching stressful sporting events.
"There is more pig skin on some Super Bowl party foods than there is on the football field, and these high-fat meat products increase the risk of a heart attack on game day and other health problems down the line," says Cancer Project staff dietitian Krista Haynes, R.D., L.D. "People looking to cut their risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and even cancer should look for low-fat party foods."

The new spiritual leader of the state Islamic Association sees himself as a bridge builder. After the tragedies of Sept. 11, he sees that role as more important than ever.
Mohammad Jamal Daoudi is the new imam, or spiritual leader, of the Islamic Association of West Virginia, and the first imam to work in the new Islamic Center in South Charleston. He took his new job in March.
Born in Damascus, Syria, Daoudi earned a bachelor's degree in Islamic law before he ever felt led to become an imam. "I wanted to be well-educated regarding my religion. I thought I could invest that knowledge in a way to help others. The more you know, the better citizen you can become."
He describes himself as a man with "an open heart and an open mind." He said God led him onto his path to become a spiritual leader and to come to the United States.
In all of his studies, he said, "I can never find violence in my religion. 'Peace is one of the beautiful names of God."
If someone is selecting passages from the Quran and using them to justify violence, that person is misusing religion, he said.
"Some people misquote chapters from the Bible. They take it out of context. Every group has good and bad in it.
"I have a mission. I have a beautiful message to impart. The Islamic community is like other communities," he said.
He points out that Abraham, the patriarch who can be found in the Old Testament, in the pages of the Torah and in the Quran, is the father of three major religions.
Abraham's wife, Sarah, thought she would have no children, so she urged Abraham to have a child by Sarah's "handmaiden," Hagar. Muslims trace their line through Abraham's first son, Ismael.
Sarah and Abraham went on to have a son of their own, Isaac. Jewish people trace their ancestry through Isaac, and Christians pick up the thread there, too.
"We are cousins," Dauodi said.
"First, I want to work with my Muslim community to take care of their needs," Daoudi said. "I want to help them to live their lives in a successful way. Then I want to help the larger community to see us as good citizens. I want to build bridges based on understanding, tolerance, knowledge and brotherhood."
Daoudi believes religious leaders in each faith must take their jobs seriously. "It is the responsibility of the clergy to be good teachers. You harvest what you sow. We have too many beautiful things in common that we believe in. The others are minor differences.

[JURIST] Frances Newton [Amnesty International backgrounder] was executed by lethal injection late Wednesday at Huntsville prison in Texas for fatally shooting her husband and two children in 1987, making her the first black woman executed by the state since it took over executions from counties in 1923. Several dozen protestors were present outside the prison at the time of her execution, but the number was much lower than that at 1998 demonstrations for Karla Faye Tucker [Wikipedia profile], the first woman executed in Texas. Supporters of Newton had campaigned [JURIST report] over the past several years to halt her execution, successfully obtaining a stay [JURIST report] from Gov. Rick Perry in December 2004. Attorneys for Newton requested a further 30-day stay [Houston Chronicle report] from Gov. Perry earlier this week, but were unsuccessful. Newton was convicted of killing her husband and children in 1987 to collect $100,000 in insurance. AP has more.
[JURIST] A Bosnian court created to ease the caseload of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website; JURIST news archive] opened its first trial Wednesday against war crimes suspect Boban Simsic, a member of a Serb paramilitary group that served under Milan Lukic [ICTY case backgrounder]. Simsic surrendered to EU peacekeepers in January, and tribunal President Medizda Kresco called the opening of his trial a "historic moment." The trial is set to resume again on October 13, when witnesses will begin to testify. The Bosnian court opened in March of this year [JURIST report] and expects to have numerous cases transferred to it [JURIST report] from the ICTY, which is to complete its work by 2010 despite a docket still 50 suspects long. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Two men implicated in the growing scandal surrounding Texas Republican campaign groups associated with US House Majority Leader Tom DeLay [official website] have been charged with two additional felonies for violations in the 2002 election. Americans for a Republican Majority head Jim Ellis and John Colyandro, former executive director of Texans for a Republican Majority [Wikipedia profile], were both charged Tuesday with violating Texas election law and criminal conspiracy to violate the election law in addition to charges of money laundering. The indictment against the two is the seventh issued this month [JURIST report] by a Travis County grand jury investigating corporate campaign contributions to Texas Republicans. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Grand Bench (en banc panel) of the Supreme Court of Japan [official website, English version] ruled Wednesday that a clause of the country's Public Offices Election Law restricting the voting rights of Japanese nationals living abroad is unconstitutional. The court determined that the legislature was negligent in passing the mesaure and ordered the Japanese government to pay 60,000 yen ($544 US) to the 15 plaintiffs bringing the suit for not being permitted to vote in the October 1996 general election. Under the ruling, the Japanese legislature is required to revise the law prior the next election. The decision marks the first time that the high court has found Japanese legislature to be negligent. From Japan, Mainichi Daily News has local coverage.
[JURIST] US Chief Justice nominee John Roberts [Wikipedia profile; JURIST news archive] wrapped up a third day of confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] Wednesday marked by more jousting with Democratic senators and strong support from Republicans. As time went on, it appeared increasingly likely that Roberts would be approved by the Committee and confirmed by the full Senate in time for the opening of the Supreme Court's 2005-2006 term in October. Committee Democrats continued to press Roberts to elaborate his views on subjects such as civil rights and the right to privacy, while Roberts presented measured responses. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, said Roberts had altered one response from Tuesday, when he said he agreed that a right to privacy existed under the Constitution. Schumer made the comment after he asked Roberts if he disagreed with Justice Clarence Thomas [Oyez profile], who does not acknowledge such a right, and Roberts said he did not. Although Democrats charged Roberts with not answering questions throughout the hearings, Committee chairman Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA, who himself appeared frustrated with a non-responsive Roberts at one point in the morning session, said the nominee has "answered more questions than most." View a transcript of Wednesday's hearing. The hearings continue at 9 AM ET Thursday, with Roberts taking some final questions from Senators before the committee begins hearing testimony from various witnesses [witness list] other than Roberts. AP has more.
[JURIST] Delta Airlines [corporate website] and Northwest Airlines [corporate website], the third and fourth largest US air carriers, both filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection [SEC backgrounder] Wednesday. The filings highlighted the financial distress of the airline industry, particularly after spiking oil prices in Hurricane Katrina's wake, and the two airlines are expected to use bankruptcy protection to cut labor and pension costs. Analysts said both companies needed to complete restructuring to compete with other companies such as USAir, which had already filed for bankruptcy [JURIST report]. Some have also said Northwest is likely to gain concessions through bankruptcy that it was unable to obtain in contentious labor negotiations with its mechanics [JURIST report]. Read the bankruptcy filings from both companies [Delta and Northwest; PDF text], as well as the Delta news release and Northwest news release. Delta has legal information available on its bankruptcy proceedings. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] In Wednesday's environmental law news, Pennsylvania has joined 14 other states suing the US Department of Energy (DOE) [official website], alleging that the agency is 6 to 13 years behind schedule in updating efficiency standards for some household and commercial appliance categories and has failed to issue any new efficiency standards at all since January 2001. The 1987 Federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires the DOE to periodically review and strengthen efficiency standards. Read the complaint here [PDF]. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has more.

[JURIST] A US lumber industry trade group has challenged the constitutionality of the dispute settlement system [NAFTA backgrounder] under the North American Free Trade Agreement [text; Secretariat website], arguing that the system violates due process. The Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports [official website] filed the lawsuit Tuesday after an independent panel under NAFTA had previously struck down US tariffs on Canadian lumber [CBC News backgrounder]. In the lawsuit, filed in the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, the lumber group argued that NAFTA judges should not be allowed to override decisions by the US Commerce Department and International Trade Commission. Observers said the suit was unlikely to succeed, as a similar one was filed in 1994 and success would cause significant damange to NAFTA. The lawsuit targets rulings made under Chapter 19 of the treaty in particular. The Bush administration is expected to oppose the suit. The Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports has a news release [PDF text] on the action. Bloomberg has more.
[JURIST] The Australian government has backed away from proposals to strip citizenship from those convicted of terrorism offenses, instead suggesting that it may be more effective to monitor them. Australian Prime Minister John Howard [official profile] originally supported removing citizenship of those breaking proposed anti-terror laws. Citizenship Minister John Cobb [official website] said, however, that those stripped of citizenship would be more difficult to monitor and could present a threat to the country. Cobb also said such a provision would present difficulties if those born in Australia had their citizenship revoked. The proposed legislation has set off debate in the country over law enforcement and the need for increased powers to combat terrorism. Several states have also proposed legislation that would increase authorities for police, while civil rights groups have opposed the measures.

[JURIST] Former Afghan mujahideen [Wikipedia backgrounder] Abdul Rabb Rasoul Sayyaf [Wikipedia profile] said Wednesday that he supported an inquiry into abuses committed by fighters during the civil war in Afghanistan [JURIST news archive] in the 1990s, but he rejected calls to bar those implicated from parliamentary elections. Sayyaf, a member of the Ittihad-i-Islami faction, has been accused of war crimes during that time in a Human Rights Watch report [text], but he denied the allegations and said he had a right to participate in Sunday's elections. Some groups have called for former warlords accused of abuses to stand down in the election, but thus far, only 45 lesser-known candidates have been blocked. Afghan President Hamid Karzai [Wikipedia profile] has defended allowing many of the accused to run for office, arguing that it would ease tensions within the country. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that the Massachusetts state legislature [official website] has rejected a proposed state constitutional amendment [text] that would have banned gay marriage but allowed civil unions. Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage when the state's Supreme Judicial Court ruled [opinion; JURIST report] in 2003 that same-sex couples are entitled to wed. Massachusetts law requires that a proposed constitutional amendment be approved by the legislature in two consecutive sessions before being put to voters. AP has more.3:55 PM ET - The vote by the state legislature represented a departure from its vote on the measure last year. In March 2004, lawmakers supported the amendment [JURIST report] by a 105-92 vote margin in the months following the Supreme Judicial Court's decision legalizing same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive]. Many lawmakers indicated their opinion on the issue had changed [JURIST report] since the previous vote, while others opposed civil unions in addition to same-sex marriage. Another proposed initiative [DOC text] to amend the constitution to bar both was recently upheld [JURIST report] by the state attorney general.
[JURIST] Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet [Wikipedia profile; JURIST news archive] can stand trial for an alleged campaign of abduction and murder of political opponents during his leadership, Chile's Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. The ruling was the third by the court stripping Pinochet of the immunity from prosecution customarily granted to former presidents of the country. Prosecutors investigating Operation Colombo, a government campaign in the mid-1970s against leftists, have sought to charge the 89-year-old former leader with the murder of 15 political opponents. An appeals court ruled earlier this summer that Pinochet could be prosecuted, but he appealed the ruling. Although two other major human rights cases [BBC timeline] were brought against Pinochet, both stalled when courts ruled that he was not healthy enough to stand trial.

[JURIST] Japans ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) [official website in English], its coalition partner the New Komeito Party [official website in English] and its largest opposition, the Democratic Party of Japan [official website in English], agreed Wednesday to establish a standing constitutional referendum committee in the House of Representatives. Establishing the committee is the first step towards altering Japan's constitution [text], as the document requires a national referendum on proposed changes and Japan has yet to create legislation establishing such a procedure. Following last week's election [Japan Today report], where the LDP and New Komeito Party won 296 and 31 seats, respectively, of the 480 in the lower house, the push to revise the country's pacifist constitution [Mainichi report] is expected to increase. The LDP released a draft of Constitution revisions [JURIST report] in July and plans to release a full draft in November. Xinhua has more.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that a federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance [JURIST news archive] in public schools with the language "under God" is unconstitutional. The judge granted legal standing to two families represented by Michael Newdow [JURIST news archive], an atheist who unsuccessfully challenged [JURIST report] the constitutionality of the Pledge last year before the US Supreme Court, which dismissed his suit [opinion text] for lack of standing without passing on the merits of the constitutionality issue (the high court held the divorced Newdow could not sue on behalf of his daughter because he did not have sufficient custody to qualify as her legal representative). The judge held that he was bound by a previous 2002 US Ninth Circuit ruling [PDF text] rejecting the constitutionality of the Pledge.

[JURIST] The European Court of Human Rights [official website] has ruled [judgment text; press release] that a British ban on parent and children-in-law marriages violated rights guaranteed by Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights [text]. A man identified in court as "B" and his sons ex-wife, identified as "L," brought their case to the Human Rights Court after a local British official denied them permission to marry. In its final judgment, the court recognized the British laws intent of protecting "the integrity of the family" as legitimate, but noted that, in the absence of additional laws prohibiting non-marital relationships between in-laws, the ban did little to protect children from previous marriages from alleged confusion. The judges also highlighted a previous exception to the ban, allowing for marriage of in-laws where "no harm would ensue." B and L were awarded £12,000 (approximately $21,900) in costs and expenses and the British government must now consider changing the law to provide a right to in-law marriages. BBC News has more.

MosNews has more.Also Wednesday at the UN, leaders from Security Council member countries are gathering to vote on a draft proposal that condemns the incitement of terrorist acts, and calls upon all member states to take appropriate steps to end such incitement. The resolution, proposed by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, seeks to empower authorities to expel or exclude foreign nationals who incite violence or glorify terrorism. Human rights groups have expressed disapproval [HRW press release] of the initiative, calling it "a pretext to suppress peaceful expression," and arguing that the definition of "incitement to terrorist acts" should be strictly construed in order to avoid prohibitions on lawful expression and association. In an address to the General Assembly [text], President Bush voiced his support of the measure, and called upon leaders to "change the conditions that allow terrorists to flourish and recruit." Reuters has more.4:30 PM ET - Security Council heads of state and government unanimously adopted two resolutions Wednesday calling on states to reinforce the battle against terrorism and strengthening the Council's role in preventing conflict. Resolution 1624 [text] condemns "all acts of terrorism irrespective of their motivation, whenever and by whomsoever committed, as one of the most serious threats to peace and security" and calls upon states to adopt all necessary measures to combat terrorism.

Speaking to the 60th anniversary session of the General Assembly, Annan expressed hope that all nations would act together [AP report] to meet the challenges of the new century, which he said included "peacemaking, nation-building, democratization and responding to natural or man-made disasters." He called the draft summit outcome document [PDF text], approved late Tuesday [JURIST report] "a good start," but noted that it was not the sweeping structural reform that he had proposed. In particular, Annan criticized the failure to reach an agreement on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, saying
Twice this year -- at the NPT review conference, and now at this Summit -- we have allowed posturing to get in the way of results. This is inexcusable. Weapons of mass destruction pose a grave danger to us all, particularly in a world threatened by terrorists with global ambitions and no inhibitions.
[JURIST] The Bush administration Tuesday expressed disapproval of a measure aimed at regulating trade negotiations, and discouraged Senate members from adopting it. The measure, offered as an amendment to the annual appropriations bill for the Departments of State, Commerce and related agencies [text] by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) [official website], would restrict US trade negotiators from agreeing to make changes to any laws allowing the US to impose duties against unfairly priced or subsidized imports, and would allow the Senate to block funding for any trade negotiations involving the laws. In a letter to Senators, US Trade Representative Rob Portman [official profile] and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez [official profile] urged the rejection of the "unwise amendment", and argued that passage would impair trade liberalization efforts within the World Trade Organziation by "provid[ing] our trading partners [with] an excuse to refuse to negotiate on sectors and subjects they consider sensitive." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Rwanda's community-based genocide courts have charged 14,885 of their own judges with genocide, according to the department in charge of managing the system. The Gacaca courts [official website; Wikipedia backgrounder] were created three years ago to accelerate genocide trial proceedings, and consists of judges who are referred to as Inyangamugayo, or persons of integrity.

The Inyangamugayo are required by law [PDF text] to resign if a genocide charge is brought against them; they then are tried by the same court over which they once presided. Hirondelle News Agency has more.
[JURIST] In the third day of his Senate confirmation hearings Wednesday, US Chief Justice nominee John Roberts [Wikipedia profile; JURIST news archive] said that Congress has the right to counter decisions made by the Supreme Court, including the controversial ruling earlier this year in Kelo v. New London [PDF opinion], which allows local governments to expropriate land for private redevelopment [JURIST report]. Roberts commented on proposed legislation that would ban federal funds for projects commencing as a result of the Kelo decision, and stated: "[t]his body and legislative bodies in the states are protectors of the people's rights . . . It's not simply a question of legislating to address particular needs, but you obviously have to also be cognizant of the people's rights and you can protect them in situations where the court has determined, as it did 5-4 in Kelo, that they are not going to draw that line." Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA), who previously told Roberts to be ready for Congressional authority questions [JURIST report], also expressed his disdain at the way legislators can be "treated as schoolchildren'' through criticism from some justices. Roberts replied that the Supreme Court was not the "taskmaster" of Congress, but rather that the Constitution should guide the actions of both bodies. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] upheld the sovereignty of Indian tribes Tuesday by ruling that federal courts do not have jurisdiction over decisions regarding who is entitled to membership in a tribe. The federal appeals court allowed Indian tribes to retain their ability to establish their own membership requirements after four siblings sued the federal government in order to be added as members of their father's tribe, the Table Mountain Rancheria [casino website], which operates a successful casino near Fresno, California. Chief Judge Mary Schroeder wrote in the opinion [PDF text], "These doctrines of tribal sovereign immunity were developed decades ago, before the gaming boom created a new and economically valuable premium on tribal membership." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Iraqi Justice Minister Abdul Hussein Shandal has criticized the US military for arresting and detaining Iraqi citizens and journalists without bringing charges against them, and is calling for either amendment or discontinuation of a UN Security Council resolution [JURIST report] giving the US military immunity from Iraqi law. Shandal told Reuters news agency that the extended detentions have led to human rights violations which the Justice Ministry is not able to correct because Security Council Resolution 1546 [text, PDF], passed after Saddam Hussein lost power in 2003, gives the Multinational Force (MNF) [official website] full authority over the handling of arrests. Shandal said he planned to work with the Security Council to change or end the resolution and is pushing for the release of 10,000 Iraqis currently being held at the Abu Ghraib prison [JURIST news archive] in Baghdad. Last month, amid protests from media rights group, a US military tribunal authorized the continued detention [JURIST report] without charge of a Iraqi Reuters cameraman. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Last-minute amendments to Iraq's draft constitution [JURIST news archive] were finalized Wednesday, according to National Assembly deputy speaker Hussein al-Shahristani, who said the final document has been given to the UN for printing and distribution to the Iraqi people. Changes were made to the draft after Sunni Arabs rejected a draft [JURIST report] that had been approved by Shiites and Kurds. Additions include clarifying Iraq's commitment to the Arab League [official website] charter, the management of water resources by the central government as opposed to provincial authorities, and giving the prime minister two deputies in his cabinet. However, Sunnis are unlikely to be satisfied with the changes as they do not effectively address other concerns [JURIST document] including the references to Saddam Hussein's party and the description of Iraq as a Muslim rather than an Arab country, which Sunnis warned could lead to the disintegration of Iraq. AP has more. KUNA has local coverage.
[JURIST] The official in charge of European Union expansion said Tuesday that Turkey [JURIST news archive] is deliberately provoking them by choosing to hold the trial of Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk [Wikipedia backgrounder] at the same time as an EU summit. Pamuk is accused of insulting Turkey's national character by saying "thirty-thousand Kurds and one million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it" in an interview with a Swiss newspaper magazine. The new Turkish penal code, adopted at the UN's insistence, makes it a crime to denigrate Turkey's national identity. EU enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn [official profile] said that the Pamuk case violates the European Convention on Human Rights [PDF text] and that it "raises serious questions about the interpretation of Turkey's new penal code." Rehn also said that the December 16 date to hold the novelist's trial "can't be just a coincidence, it has to be a provocation." Also Tuesday, Rehn warned that talks related to Turkey's possible entry into the EU would depend on whether it acknowledges the existence of Cyprus. Even though Turkey has extended its existing customs arrangements to Cyprus, it did so with the declaration that this did not mean it formally recognized Cyprus as a country, a move that Rehn calls "regrettable." AP has more.
[JURIST] Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Sredoje Lukic, indicted [text] in 2000 by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website] surrendered to Serb authorities in Bosnia Tuesday. Lukic is charged with cruel and inhumane acts against non-Serbs, crimes against humanity as well as humiliation, terrorizing and psychological abuse of Bosnian Muslims. Lukic and his cousin Milan Lukic [ICTY case backgrounder], were members of a notorious paramilitary group called the Avengers. The charges allege that during May 1992 and October 1994, the Avengers "committed, planned, instigated and ordered the executions" of Bosnian Muslims in Bosnian Serb-controlled territory. Sredoje Lukic is the 15th war crimes fugitive to surrender to Serbian authorities since last year. However, the two top fugitives, Radovan Karadzic [BBC profile] and Ratko Mladic [Wikipedia profile], are still in hiding. The Serbian government is under pressure [JURIST report] from the ICTY and Western countries to cooperate with The Hague tribunal in exchange for the country's access to the European Union and NATO.

[JURIST] Capt. Christopher M. Beiring, an army officer from the 377th Military Police Company, was charged Tuesday with dereliction of duty and making a false official statement in connection with an ongoing investigation into prisoner abuse at the Bagram Air Base detention facility [Wikipedia backgrounder] in Afghanistan [JURIST news archive]. Two other soldiers from Beiring's unit, Staff Sgt. Brian L. Doyle and Sgt. Duane M. Grubb, were also charged. Grubb is charged with assault, maltreatment and making a false official statement and Doyle faces charges of dereliction of duty and maltreatment after he did not give "use-of-force" guidance to his soldiers when he ordered the hitting of a detainee, Habibullah, the first prisoner to die at the detention center. Several other soldiers have been acquitted of charges [JURIST report] relating to Habibullah's death, but one soldier has pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to assault and two counts of making a false statement. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] A Russian court began hearing the appeal Wednesday of former Yukos [corporate website] oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky [JURIST news archive; defense website], who is in jail for tax evasion, fraud and embezzlement. In May, Khodorkovsky was found guilty on seven charges [JURIST report], and received a nine-year sentence [JURIST report]. Last month, Khodorkovsky announced his intention to run for the Russian parliament [JURIST report]; Khodorkovsky is only eligible to run while his case is under appeal or if his conviction is overturned. Khodorkovsky's lawyers say that the appeal will be quickly turned down in order to prevent the election bid, but have said that they will ask for a delay in the hearing because Khodorkovsky's rights had been violated and that his lawyers had not been given sufficient time to review transcripts from his trial. One of Khodorkovsky's lawyers did not attend Wednesday's hearing [BBC report] due to hospitalization, and according to Khodorkovsky's website, this postponed the hearing until Wednesday afternoon. Reuters has more. MosNews has local coverage.10:08 AM ET - Hearings on the Khodorkovsky appeal have now been postponed until next week due to hospitalized lawyer Genrikh Padva's absence. AP has more.

Rational-generating functionsThis is an interesting problem I ran into while trying to solve another problem. (2) Take the difference n−m. If , let , otherwise let . (3) Repeat step (2) with . The thing is Conjecture: After only FINITELY many steps involving the procedure above, you will always arrive at the number , no matter what you started out with. True or false? I need help with this. This is part of another problem Ive been trying to solve. If I can solve this, Ill have solved the other problem.

Re: Rational-generating functionsThats correct. But the algorithm is supposed to work for ALL . Can you prove that?Last edited by JaneFairfax (2007-12-26 20:53:13) #4 2007-12-26 21:11:12
Re: Rational-generating functionsOkay, lets take another example, say #5 2007-12-27 01:26:21
Re: Rational-generating functionsTo begin with, m and n are co-primes. Since m/n<1 and m/n is a rational number, m and n are natural numbers (assuming we are talking about non-zero positive integers only). Character is who you are when no one is looking. #6 2007-12-27 02:14:14
Re: Rational-generating functionsI'll program this on my calculator and see if I can do a proof by exhaustion. #7 2007-12-27 02:32:09
Re: Rational-generating functions
Yes, but I need a rigorous formal proof.
Thanks. #8 2007-12-27 02:53:32
Re: Rational-generating functionsI've done a lot of tests so far, and in all of them, even if gcd(m,n) =/= 1, I still end up with 1/2. Code:Input "Numerator", m Input "Denominator", n While m/n ≠ 1/2 If n-m<m Then n-m->m n-m->n Else n-m->n EndIf EndWhile Disp "Fraction is", m/n Of course, I was joking about 'proof by exhaustion'... but hopefully this makes you feel more confident that this is TRUE Last edited by Identity (2007-12-27 03:02:31) #9 2007-12-27 03:31:51
Re: Rational-generating functionsa similar thing. The Beginning Of All Things To End. The End Of All Things To Come. #10 2007-12-27 04:10:42
Re: Rational-generating functionsYeah but that settles down to four. With this algorithm it passes by 1/2 then goes off into oblivion and division by zero. #11 2007-12-27 06:47:48
Re: Rational-generating functionsNo it doesn't. Why did the vector cross the road? It wanted to be normal. #12 2007-12-27 07:53:55
Re: Rational-generating functionsGood observation mathsyperson. Always remember, start with easy and then generalize. What holds in the general case must hold in special cases, so look at special cases and see what happens. "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #13 2007-12-27 20:16:30
Re: Rational-generating functionsI should have added that when you reach 1⁄2, you stop. 1⁄2 is supposed to be the last number in the iterating sequence. So, starting with ANY positive rational number less than 1 in its lowest terms, can you, after finitely many iterations, ALWAYS come down to 1⁄2?

Re: Rational-generating functionsI'm not sure if this is rigorous enough for you, but here's my shot at it. This all tells us that to get to an' = bm' we need either an = (a+b)m or bn = (a+b)m. Since both a and b are coprime to and less than a+b, let c = a or b and d = a+b, and we have our two new coprime multiples. Finally, we need to show that if a<b are coprime integers and an = bm implies that m and n are not coprime (likely, there is already a named theorem that shows this, but I don't know of one so I'll prove it for the sake of completeness). From an = bm we find that a = m * (b/n). Since a and b are coprime, every prime factor of b must be present in n to be eliminated. If n has more prime factors than are required to eliminate b, then they must also be present in m, since a is an integer. This would mean that m and n are not coprime. However, if n has only the exact same prime factors as b, then n = b. This would further imply that m = a. However, this is no possible, as m<n but a<b. This means that m and n must share prime factors. Finally, as stated above, no matter how far back we trace we can never find an instance where m and n are not coprime. Thus, every fraction where m and n are coprime will eventually reach 1/2. The only way this isn't true is if there is a failure mechanism other than a repeating cycle or m = n, which have been shown to be impossible. Wrap it in bacon #15 2008-08-23 09:37:20
Re: Rational-generating functionsHere's some nice way to visualise the process: you start with 2 sticks (lengths m,n), you put them one over the other with 1 common end, and you cut at the other end. Then remove one of the same sticks, which you just made, and continue. It's intuitial that you'll eventually end with 2 identical sticks, unless the initial lengths dont' have gcd (if you start with sticks with length 1 and pi for example, the process won't stop but will converge). This thing looks like the Ecld gcd. Formally, at each step the difference between the lengths of the sticks strictly decreases (which is not obvious using rationals, because they give us the relative difference between the two sticks - the numerator and denominator). The last thing is that just before the sticks become with same length, the one is twice the other. IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations. |

Peachtree Art Theatre
1137 Peachtree Street NE,
1 person favorited this theater
Opened in 1946, it was closed in 1971.
Recent comments (view all 39 comments)
The Buckhead Art Cinema at 3073 Peachtree Road was an all-adult house located across the street from Sears Roebuck, diagonal from the Capri Theatre. It was open in the early 70s (at least) thru the late 90s to early 00s as I remember. If it was still there today, it would be adjacent to the now closed "Geek Squad" store. Hope this helps.
Marcel, can you post one or two of the ads you have? It would definitely be appreciated.
Thanks to StanMalone, Marcel & Daryl for the help. I searched far and wide and couldn't find a picture of the actual theater but I'm wondering if this side view of a store with the awning is in fact the place? I'm hoping one of you gentleman recognize the street and surrounding.
On the above link, image #6 shows the location the best. Note the boarded up area on the camera side of the awning on the right side of the picture…that's pretty much the location of the alcove entry to the old Buckhead Art Theatre or within just a few feet.
SOMEONE SENT ME A PICTURE! I don't know how to post on its on page but here is an actual picture for those interested. Thanks to everybody for their help.
A_Mclean: Your new photo link is as good as it gets. If you want to know more about the area around the Buckhead Art Theatre, I'll be happy to provide.
Thanks Daryl but that place was just a part of my past and the picture AND the information meant a lot. Thanks again.
The Peachtree Art was a very nice theatre in the 1964 – '65 time frame. Its atmosphere enhanced the films it presented. I saw "Woman in the Dunes", "He Who Must Die","Seance on a Wet Afternoon" and several others. Most, except for "Seance" had subtitles. It had a good sized screen (my guess 40 feet) and always flawless projection. Admission was $1.50, same as Fox, Roxy, etc. Around 1970 or '71, the Weiss chain tried to turn it into a first run theatre, but it soon succumbed to the hotel and office building boom.
I worked at the Peachtree Art when I was 15, back in 1959. It did not have a concession stand. No popcorn or drinks. They showed mostly foreign films at that time. Never had much of a crowd.
I would like to take this opportunity to clear up a few points regarding the Peachtree Art Theatre which was operated by my father from 1946 until 1971. The theatre was located at 1137 Peachtree Street in Atlanta. It had a full concession area which featured imported candies and popcorn that was specially grown by the Word Popcorn Company in Scottsboro, Alabama.
The theatre was highly successful and overflow crowds were commonplace throughout it's existence. Many notable Atlantans were regular patrons including Bobby Jones, the famed golfer, and Margaret Mitchell the author of Gone With The Wind. The theatre closed in 1971 due to the redevelopment of the property.
I hope that this clears up some misconceptions that seem to exist.

We tend to make fun of people for this sort of thing, but it's true—there's a major New York City neighborhood very much in need of a name.

Temple as a University
By: Guy TempletonThere is a saying that the LDS Temple is the University of the Lord. Unlike a traditional university, there is no opportunity to ask questions, do homework, or take tests to evaluate if we are learning. The learning in the temple is supposed to be personal. What would you say are the biggest things you have learned from your participation in the temple?

MISSION – Vernice Maxine Brown Porter, died Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at her residence.
The eldest of three children born to George A and Luella V. (Tompkins) Brown, she was born on March 9, 1921 in White, Brookings County, South Dakota. Her parents divorced when she was very young in the depression years and she was "bounced" around to be raised by relatives so her mother could work to support herself with three small children. During this time she came to the Rio Grande Valley to live with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Bentsen.
In the 1940s she had the opportunity to travel on a grand scale when she worked as a "Nanny" for Paula Kelly (Mrs. Hal Dickenson), of the "Modernaires" fame, when they were the main band of Glenn Miller.
When she moved to Mitchell, she married Lester G. Porter. After they retired, Vernice and Les traveled in their motor home for 25 years and became Winter-Texans permanently in 2000 when they sold their home in Mitchell and built a new home in Mission.
Mrs. Porter is survived by a daughter, Connie (Dan) Davis of Castle Rock, Washington; stepsons, Don (Deni) Porter of Sun River, Oregon, Gregg (Jane) Porter of Tigart, Oregon, and Gary (Sue) of Pendleton, Indiana; and nine grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter.
Her remains were cremated according to her wishes. A memorial service will be held at the Southern Oasis Clubhouse, S. Stewart Road, Mission, at a later date.

I was off 4 k at the cars. so probably around 38.
Up at 0330 to get to my friends, jeep blew up at his place. Swear, jump in his car, drive to the other 2, get the aid bags into the proper vehicle. Drive car to mid station, then to the start of the knee knacker. I am sad to say that I started to hurt pretty much right away and it went downhill from there. My knees are sore, my Achilles tendon is sore on the right side, the ankle rolled too much and I was pissed off. Past grouse grind up to the BP to the a few k, then I turned around and went back to car. JUmped in car drove to Deep Cove. After I got there, I decided that I should loosen up a bit more. I ran up to meet the boys. I paced my friend in as he ran out of food and water and we did great!
From deep cove to the boys and back down.

Little Beads, Big Beautiful Job
This ultra gentle jojoba bead scrub provides gentle yet thorough exfoliation using two refining actives. First, it exfoliates surface dead skin cells, allowing active treatment products and moisturizers to penetrate better when applied. Then, the ultra-fine jojoba beads help open clogged pores and emulsify the sebum that contributes to blackheads and whiteheads. Because these unique buffing beads gradually dissolve with continued contact with the skin's surface, the risk of irritation is minimal, leaving the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Especially Suited For: All skin types.
Essential Elements: Jojoba Spheres gently exfoliate & unclog pores. Aloe Vera soothes and hydrates the skin. Jojoba Oil helps to emulsify and breakdown sebum.
