Markets & Stocks
Gov't gridlock meets Street
December 13, 2000: 3:36 p.m. ET
Election essentially decided, markets look somewhat optimistically at gridlock
by Staff Writer Franklin Paul
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Goodbye presidential election. Hello gridlock!
That's what some Wall Street players, with just a hint of glee, have indicated this week as the nation finally tunes out the muddied, drawn out election process and the resulting uncertainty that has roiled the stock and bond markets since Election Day, Nov. 7.
Welcome, they say, to what could be at least two years where a partisan, divided Congress � fresh from this bitter debacle -- could make difficult any attempts by George W. Bush,
most likely the next U.S. President
, to push through major legislation.
That's called gridlock � government's powerlessness to affect significant changes in policy because there is no clear voting majority. With such legislative impotence at hand, government and the president are paralyzed and unable to distract the market, leaving the economy free to choose its own course.
The budget surplus is going to pile up dramatically because Congress won't agree on big tax cuts or big spending hikes.
Greg Valliere
Chief Strategist
Charles Schwab Washington Research Group
"One of the big stories coming out of this is the inability to get anything done in the next two years," said Greg Valliere, chief strategist at Charles Schwab Washington Research Group. "Therefore ... the budget surplus is going to pile up dramatically because Congress won't agree on big tax cuts or big spending hikes."
The November elections yielded a stalemate of sorts in Congress. In the new House of Representatives, Republicans and Democrats will be separated by just five votes. The 100-member Senate is split right down the middle, 50-50.
If members of Congress routinely vote along party lines, few initiatives will pass with a strong mandate, and overturning a presidential veto will be rare.
So, unless these elected men and women adopt an overwhelming sense of nation-healing and a can't-we-all-just-get-along spirit, the new Republican president, who received fewer popular votes than Democratic opponent Al Gore, is in for a tough fight.
Bush? Gore? Fine. Just keep Greenspan happy
Certainly, the man who holds the keys to the White House's Oval Office is important to Wall Street, but perhaps not as key as the man who wields the gavel at Federal Reserve meetings.
Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Fed, which has advised on fiscal and monetary policy through the recent boom years, is expected to be around for at least another four � potentially gridlocked -- years.
"If we have an economy that functions O.K., with a little help from the Fed, in that case gridlock is quite good for the market," said Ethan Harris, a senior economist at Lehman Brothers in New York.
The surplus and the Federal Reserve are key, he notes. If Greenspan and his inflation watchdogs continue to
the economy well, the budget surplus remains protected, and Bush's regime is lucky enough to avoid international crisis, the market can bear legislative inaction and gridlock.
"The surplus creates an environment where there's a tremendous amount of saving being freed up for private investment every time the government pays down its debt, that frees funds to flow into private investments," Harris said. "That has created this strong growth economy that we have."
"In terms of the overall budget stance, the best thing for the market is for them to leave things alone and let the surplus continue to pile up," he said.
Should the president and Congress fail to get the wheels of change rolling in coming months, experts say the big winner may be the nation's ability to pay down its debt � something of a back-burner issue now that the government forecast the surplus to swell to $4 trillion in a decade.
"Gridlock leads to more debt reduction than either tax cuts or new spending," said Rob Palombi, a senior analyst with Standard & Poor's MMS in Toronto. "Because what we will be left with at the end of the day are larger surpluses."
So who benefits from gridlock?
Despite Wall Street's affection for gridlock, the investment community is friendly towards Bush's pro-business proposals, the most significant of which are his broad tax cut plans. Other
floated by the Texas governor include a notion to plunk down $158 billion to tweak the U.S. health care system, and to raise the ceiling on corporate giving.
In theory, Wall Street likes tax cuts because they would arm consumers with more spending cash -- money that shows up in corporate profits and, ultimately, Wall Street.
Fund managers might also benefit from another Bush proposal to allow individuals to invest some part of their Social Security savings in the market.
And despite the problems Congress may face, industries that backed Bush's candidacy, such as
, may still receive the blessing of relaxed regulatory scrutiny during a Bush administration.

The politics of business
"Bush would be the favorite for a lot of regulated sectors," Charles Schwab's Valliere added. "So we could see, once again, a play for
), energy stocks and drug stocks, if Bush ultimately does pull this out."
James Lucier, a political analyst for Prudential Securities in Washington, suggests that certain issues may tiptoe past the partisan grappling, such as high-tech legislation, a relatively new topic for which neither party has claimed outright control,
"These are issues that transcend previous party distinctions, where you have a very strong coalition between republicans who are willing to deregulate and do whatever it takes to get government out of business's way, and new democrats, who are very tech-friendly," Lucier said.
"If Bush gets in there, it's going to be a very good season for hi-tech legislation," he added.
Voters may also be winners, of sorts. Elected representatives may be forced to listen more closely to voters � particularly with the entire House of Representatives up for grabs in the 2002 election. Should public sentiment sway towards increased spending, many Republicans may have to support such legislation. The same is true for Democrats and spending cuts.
"Because of the gridlock, politicians on both sides of the political spectrum will have to be more acutely aware of what the voting public is leaning towards," said S&P's Palombi.
"They won't have large margins of support in either the House or the Senate to go off in their own direction, so the public should have a larger say or greater influence than perhaps is traditionally the case," he said. "It really remains up to the public to determine how it all plays out."

When Look folded in 1971, Botto transferred his typewriter to Playbill. Appropriately enough, his first story was about his already-huge Playbill collection. "My favorite," he said, "was the Playbill from a 1923 show called Parisian Doll, which starred Anna Held. The program says, "Due to the length of this play we have eliminated the plot." Botto became a popular character in the Playbill offices — often heard belting out a few lines of opera and chuckling to himself as he pounded out his columns on a typewriter. He was the only employee never required to switch to computers or email.
Buy "At This Theatre"
Among Botto's responsibilities was updating the column "At This Theatre," which had appeared in various forms in the Playbill since the 1930s. The column listed the many distinguished (and sometimes infamous) stars and productions that filled the great playhouses of Broadway, offering what Botto called "instant nostalgia" for theatregoers.
On the occasion of Playbill's centennial in 1984 Botto was asked to expand these columns to chapter length and assemble them into a book, also titled "At This Theatre." Updated in 2001 and 2010, "At This Theatre" became one of the best-selling theatre books of its era.
Botto still lives in the New Jersey house his parents bought in 1978. He never married, but has friends who take care of him and his many cats, who are his children.
The late Van Heflin once told me that when he was starring with the brilliant Ina Claire in S.N. Behrman's memorable 1936 comedy End of Summer, Claire was supposed to cross the stage to turn on a lamp. At one performance, the lamp went on before she got there. She turned to the audience and whispered, "Magic." They loved it.
Sample one of Louis Botto's past "Backward Glances" columns here and here.

UN launches cholera plan for Haiti but needs funds
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced a $2.27 billion initiative Tuesday to help eradicate cholera in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, vowing to work aggressively to secure donations for the ambitious but still mostly unfunded 10-year plan.
Cholera has killed at least 7,759 people in Haiti since the outbreak started in October 2010, likely brought to the country by a unit of U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal. More than 420 have died in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti.
Ban said bilateral and multilateral donors have so far given $215 million and the U.N. has committed another $23.5 million for the initiative, which will mostly focus on improving clean water and sanitation infrastructure. But Ban said Haiti alone will need $500 million over the next two years to implement its national cholera plan.
Ban promised to "use every opportunity" in the next months to advocate for more funding for the plan.
"We know the elimination of cholera is possible. Science tells us it can be done," Ban said. "It can and will happen in Haiti."
Paul Farmer, the U.N. deputy special envoy for Haiti, has been appointed as the secretary-general's special adviser for the cholera initiative. The U.N. will be working with Farmer in the coming months to seek contributions from governments, multilateral organizations, the private sector and individual philanthropists, said Nigel Fisher, the humanitarian coordinator for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
The Dominican Republic will require $70 million over 10 years to implement its cholera eradication plan. Fisher said the country will invest heavily from its own national budget, although it, too, needs resources.
"But Haiti is much more constrained financially, and you've heard that significant funding is urgently needed," he said.
Fisher said 70 percent of the $2.2 billion for the Haiti initiative will go toward developing water and sanitation infrastructure. The rest will go to other projects including delivering vaccines to high-risk areas such as densely populated urban neighborhoods and isolated rural districts.
Sanitation access in Haiti is the worst in the Western Hemisphere. About half the people in the country of 10 million have no bathroom at all.

Those men and women who made America great are made to feel guilty for the ill's facing the country now. This is the Obama and Democrats strategy to win this election. That Obama is part of minority America does not qualify him to be President nor does it disqualify him. The much touted Michelle's convention speech was crafted & directed at this constituency. However i may have to remind them those hopes and dreams were born of Sacrifice and labor of Men who did not value individual gratification over their responsibility to their country.
THE week has not gotten off to a good start for Mitt Romney. His talk of taxes and dependency has put him in hot water, and yesterday his campaign announced that they were pivoting towards specificity on issues such as immigration reform and budget balancing. Mr Romney's gaffe about the 47% may not make much difference in the campaign (a contention my colleague will be taking up in a separate post), but the candidate's new approach to the issues will continually cause him heartburn.
This is because the competing blocs within the Republican Party—pro-immigration businesses versus nativists, tax-cutting zealots versus defense hawks and retirees who want to keep their entitlements—keep Mr Romney from promulgating coherent proposals on issues such as immigration and the budget. And these are just two of the areas where Mr Romney faces such conundrums. He is also trying to appeal to ardent social conservatives who hold minority positions and reach out to swing voters. So, for example, he has avoided taking a position on a proposal that would ban private employers from discriminating against gays and lesbians. Similarly, he has twisted himself into a pretzel over the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
This raises an obvious question: why does Barack Obama not suffer from the same paralysing tensions within his coalition? And why have liberal Democrats not forced Mr Obama into a political corner as conservatives have Mr Romney?
Historically it has been the Democrats, not the Republicans, who were viewed as a loose collection of interest groups rather than a cohesive movement. (Hence Will Rogers famous joke: "I am not a member of any organised political party. I am a Democrat.") If you went to the parties' conventions, it was clear from the delegate demographics that the GOP is still more culturally cohesive than the Democrats. Republicans are basically one group—suburban and rural white Christians who are mostly middle class and wealthy—while Democrats are a disparate bunch.
But ideologically, and in terms of their economic interests, the Democrats are actually more unified. Take a sample of representative Democrats: say, a Puerto Rican janitor in Newark, a gay white fashion designer in Manhattan, a Department of Labor analyst who lives in Maryland, a unionised steelworker in Ohio, an unemployed single mother in Detroit, and a personal-injury lawyer in Seattle. Sure, they have a lot less in common socially than most Republicans do with one another. (That's why you never hear Democrats screaming, "I want my country back", or denigrating their opponents as culturally un-American.) But their respective interests are not mutually exclusive with one another. Mr Obama's embrace of gay marriage did not require him to cut food stamps. Supporting card check neutrality for unions does not interfere with opposing tort reform. In fact, all of these positions can be collectively thrown together under the rubric of fairness and equality. In a campaign based on these themes, Mr Romney makes an especially convenient foil.
The Republican nominee's biography and awkward, patrician bearing don't only cause him trouble with downscale swing voters. The other reason Mr Obama has more room to manouevre than Mr Romney is because of who he is, and who Mr Romney is. Democrats trust a black constitutional law professor and community organiser from Chicago to have the right values. If he crosses the teachers unions by embracing education reform, or encroaches on civil liberties by carrying out extrajudicial killings of terrorists, Democrats give him the benefit of the doubt, allowing him to also appeal to moderates. Mr Romney, being a formerly-moderate Mormon from Massachusetts gets no such leeway from conservatives. The result is that he is running on a platform of irreconcilable contradictions, while Mr Obama presents more balanced plans, such as reducing the deficit through spending cuts and tax increases. Supposedly the political-science fundamentals of this election favour Mr Romney. But these exogenous circumstances seem to strongly favour Mr Obama.

Interactive Pong Table Reminds Me Of Air Hockey Minus The Air, Puck, And Paddles
This interactive Pong Table was constructed by German designer Moritz Waldemeyer for MOMA's recent Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit. The table uses 2,400 LEDs, two track pads, and the souls of old Atari execs to immerse players in an updated, and much more interactive Pong experience. Still reminds me of air hockey though. And speaking of which, I lost a tournament at the bar last weekend and had to eat the puck. It wasn't super, but it was better than the urinal cake.

Finding a new home for the Folkmoot sculpture in downtown Waynesville has taken a new turn.
The Waynesville public art commission initially proposed moving the art piece across the street — from its current spot in front of the new town hall to the old town hall.
When the art commission asked the town to sign off on the move earlier this month, however, the town board had a different idea.
The board agreed that the structure must be moved but felt old town hall wasn't fitting for several reasons. One was there simply is not enough room. The other was lack of visibility to adequately showcase the piece. Plus, the town board expressed concerns that the "disco-ball effect" created by spinning flags on top of the statue would irritate people in adjacent office buildings.
Such complaints by the police department was one of the reasons for moving it in the first place. There have also been occasions when one or more of the flags has fallen off the statue because of high winds that whip by it.
Town board members are strongly considering placing it somewhere on the grounds of the historic courthouse and justice center — a prominent locale for a sculpture celebrating one of Waynesville's most well known festivals. The art piece features a flowing, banner-like dancer with seven flags that turn in the wind to represent the famed international dance and music festival.
The statue was installed at its current location in 2009 and was created by renowned artist Wayne Trapp.

Shutdown slows U.S. Attorney's work in Michigan
A partial shutdown of the federal government shutdown is now in day eight. There doesn't appear to be a resolution in sight which leaves over 800,000 federal employees out of work. That includes people at the U.S. Attorney General's office in Detroit. Today we talk with Barbara McQuade, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Thirty out of almost 200 people are furloughed at her office.
"That's having an impact on the litigation mission of our office. Most of our criminal litigators are still here handling criminal cases, but it's our civil docket that's really taking a hit," said McQuade.
"Our people are working without pay, which is having a big impact, as you can image, on morale. The people that are furloughed are not being paid, but even the people who are here working are not being paid."

LL Cool J had the honor of hosting the Grammys for a second year in a row. He delivered a fantastic show, and we break down the hosting highlights.
LL Cool J hosted the 2013 Grammy Awards on Sunday night. The show — which ran three hours — was truly entertaining, and LL Cool J was a major part of its success. SheKnows' final verdict on LL Cool J's Grammy hosting? The man did not disappoint. Did he listen? Our Grammy advice to host LL Cool J >>A great Grammy Awards introductionLL Cool J opened up the Grammys with a sincere and heartfelt message, the focus of which was coming together for a night of celebrating dreams come true. We found the monologue uplifting and a great counterpoint to the somber speech from last year's Grammys due to Whitney Houston's death. The host did a fantastic job keeping the tone respectful but still positive and looking forward. We especially loved the personal anecdote about his grandmother's influence on his life — and how he gave her his Grammys to watch over before her death 10 years ago. Grammy drama: The Katy Perry/Taylor Swift moment >>During the show: The awkward Twitter plugWe didn't see much of LL Cool J throughout the Grammys, but when we did, it was to introduce performers and talk about Twitter. LL Cool J mentioned certain Grammy tweets, and although there was obviously some kind of deal between the 2013 Grammy Awards and Twitter, the comments were awkward. This is our only gripe about the show. 2013 Grammy Awards usher in wave of indie music >>Rocking out for the Grammys' finaleLL Cool J closed the 2013 Grammy Awards by stating: "By day I do a little hosting, a little acting, but at night I do a little rapping." His closing performance combined rock, drumming by Travis Barker and a little old-school in a duo with Chuck D. We loved the performance, which included a tribute to the Beastie Boys. LL Cool J seemed to follow all of the items on our wish list, and we wouldn't be surprised if he was asked to host the Grammy Awards yet again next year.

Some Prada Items Pulled From Barneys In Retail Stand-Off
The WSJ article goes on to say that this decision was made prior to Mr. Lee's takeover and was related to Barneys position that it doesn't lease vendor space. Lee has said that he wants Barneys to have more exclusive items that can't be found elsewhere. He's also planning a large renovation for existing stores and an overhaul of the store website. He also recently made the controversial move to appoint a new Creative Director, Dennis Freedman, who replaced the beloved Simon Doonan, who is now the Creative Ambassador-at-Large.

Healthy Food Finds for Specific Cravings
Tell me what you want, what you really, really want. We've all been there: You're trying to read a book, or pet the cat, or clean the kitchen floor. And you can't stop thinking about…fill in the blank.
For some people, it's a cookie. Some long for potato chips, while others are ready to scream for ice cream or pudding. And here's the problem with trying to substitute supposedly healthy foods, like carrots and celery, for those cravings: You can end up eating so much that you actually consume more calories than if you had just one serving of the real deal!

By 1968, Simon & Garfunkel had produced a string of folk-rock hits that included 'The Sound of Silence,' 'I Am a Rock' and 'Mrs. Robinson.' But their chart success brought the duo criticism from folk music purists.
In 1972, the infectious strumming riff that opened 'Listen to the Music' introduced fans to the uniquely American sound of the Doobie Brothers. Their blend of rock and R&B produced a string of hits throughout the next decade. At age 40, 'Listen to the Music' remains a classic rock radio staple and the Doobies -- with founding members Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons -- still maintain a busy tour schedule.

Assessing the Value of a Dosage of Anti-cetuximab in the Therapeutic Management of Patients With Colon Cancer or Upper Aero-digestive Tract and Candidates for Treatment With Cetuximab (IgES)

The main objective of this study is to validate the utility of IgE anti-cetuximab in the treatment strategy to identify patients at risk for a severe allergic reaction to cetuximab (grade 3 or 4 of the classification of NCI) and thus reduce the incidence of severe reactions.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Colon Cancer Head and Neck Cancer Allergic Reaction |
Other: blood sample |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Assessing the Value of a Dosage of Anti-cetuximab in the Therapeutic Management of Patients With Colon Cancer or Upper Aero-digestive Tract and Candidates for Treatment With Cetuximab |
- Validate the utility of an IgE anti-cetuximab test in the treatment strategy [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
We hypothesize that a positive specific IgE assay predicts the occurrence of an allergic reaction during the first dose of cetuximab. Thus, in population areas where the prevalence of specific IgE positive plasma is higher, the use of alternative therapies in patients with a positive test would reduce the incidence of anaphylactic reactions to cetuximab.
If the use of specific IgE anti-cetuximab in the treatment strategy is effective, there will be reduction in the incidence of anaphylaxis to cetuximab in the participating centers.

The Ronald McDonald horror drawing is by an artist that goes by *sachsen and lives in the Philippines. I just know this because I know their deviantart.com page. http://sachsen.deviantart.com/

Ronald McDonald is horror art anywhere. We had one just like that (ok, not that pose) on a bench outside the McDonald's in Wal-mart and and a mother was trying to get her child to sit next to it so she could get a picture, and the child wanted nothing to do with it. That wide, fake grin... those empty, staring eyes... *shudder* I should have taken a picture for the nightmare playground series.

The house is called the "six shell bubble house/ "Bulle" à 6 coques" by french architect Jean maneval. Some 30 were made and located in a village in the French Pyrennes, I believe that a few have been rescued and renovated. They were easy to transport, breaking into six parts, and being designed to be transported on one truck. It is one of my favourite pieces of architecture.

The city of Binghamton, like many other municipalities, has faced challenges over the rising cost of pensions in the past few years. But as of this week, Binghamton leaders say they are up to date on all pension costs. Our Melissa Kakareka tells us how it's possible and what it means for the city in the future.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- The city of Binghamton is paying off one of its bills.
City officials had previously deferred $1.4 million of this year's pensions costs until 2013 to help keep tax rates low in 2012. The city is now up to date on the bill and is saving some money by paying it in December instead of February. "The cost for punting it from December to February isn't that much but if you continue punting more and more down the road, you don't want to get in that situation," said Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan.
The city is able to catch up on payments by using funds from three budget lines. It turns out that the actual bill for police and fire pensions was one million dollars lower than forecasted. The city also saved money by using a federal SAFER grant to fund positions in the fire department instead of paying to fill vacant positions. Money from the city's reserves is also being used.
The mayor says staying current on payments is important for the city's bond rating and its financial planning.
"My goal has always been to make sure the next mayor has the best fiscal situation possible and that we get our city finances on most stable footing possible. We've seen what's happened in Scranton and other cities where they have had to default and we are trying to make sure we are very healthy," said Ryan.
Mayor Ryan introduced the budget transfer this past Monday and City Council unanimously passed the legislation on Wednesday before Mayor Ryan officially signed it Friday.
While the high cost of pensions will continue to be an issue for all municipalities, City Council members are hoping its a step in the right direction for 2013 budget season. "I look forward to better budget year next year, knowing that this has been all paid up in the full, the deferred amount from last year," said Binghamton City Council member Chris Papastrat.

Nature's Way Pomegranate Standardized -- 60 Vegetarian Capsules
Bad Flavor
I would have to agree, this smells and tastes lousy, definitely would not order this product again. I prefer to buy another brand and glad I only have a few left. Also repeats on me. I was disappointed because I like this brand in MACA, and their Maca smells great too, but unfortunately, the Pomegranate does not achieve greatness!
March 26, 2012
Not the best taste
Unfortunately, you can smell this capsule - it smells like "old socks" and their is a taste. I've not had that problem with other Pomegranate capsules.
March 4, 2010
Good Buy!
I've been taking these supplements for awhile now. They've become part of my daily vitamin regimen. The product is of good quality, priced right and easy to take.
July 20, 2009
Capsules taste rancid-unable to take it--made me nauseous. ;o(
June 21, 2009
This product is an essential part of my supplemental diet. The combination of pomegranate and ellagic acid make this a must for a healthy lifestyle. I would recommend this product to anyone. Nature's Way is a product I can trust. Thank you VitaCost.

The founder of Hershey's Milk Chocolate planned to sail home on the Titanic but work luckily intervened.
Milton Snavely Hershey was born in 1857. By age 29, he had established the highly successful Lancaster Caramel Company. In time, he grew an interest in the machinery used to make German chocolate, and bought some of that machinery.
In 1900, he sold Lancaster Caramel Company, and began to set up for commercials sales of milk chocolate (which was a luxury at the time) on a dairy farm. Within three years, he began what is today the world's largest chocolate manufacturing plant. The factory took two years to complete, and amazingly was an actual town.
The town of Hershey contained comfortable houses for employees, churches, a public school system, and public transportation. He even built Hershey Park, a park for recreation. Later, even amusement rides, a swimming pool, and a ballroom were added. The man left quite a legacy behind, but if not for work, he could have left it much sooner.
Hershey had spent the winter of 1911 in France, and had intended to sail home on the Titanic. Had business back home not become more pressing, he would have not taken an earlier ship and would likely have died much sooner.

The Touchdown 7 MidUSA Credit Union Game of the Week is a crossover battle in the Central Buckeye Conference. Springfield Shawnee traveling up route 68 to Urbana. The game features two of the top runningbacks in the Miami Valley in Alex McCrory for Shawnee and the Hillclimbers Tanner Lawrence. Both are on our Dream Team and both are off to solid starts. Urbana's Nathan Mays is the top passer in the CBC through the first two weeks. Ironically, both teams come into the game off a loss...Shawnee stumbled at home against Troy, while Urbana also fell flat on their turf against Columbus Walnut Ridge. Both of these teams are serious playoff contenders, but somebody is going to lose two in a row and that's not good. You can catch the highlights Friday night at the top of our Touchdown 7 show...kicking off at 11:14pm.

Star Trek - The Motion Pictures Collection (10 Films) (2003) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Spanning two decades and countless light years of interstellar adventure, Star Trek: The Motion Pictures Collection is a testament to the enduring goodwill of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic sci-fi concept. Long before Star Wars sparked an explosion of big-screen science fiction, Roddenberry had planned a second Star Trek TV series; the project fizzled, but its pilot script evolved into the first film in Paramount's most lucrative movie franchise. Despite its sluggish pace and bland "pajama" costuming, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) offered a welcomed reunion of the "Classic Trek" cast, packed with Douglas Trumbull's still-dazzling special effects. Trekkers were even more ecstatic when The Wrath of Khan (1982) revived the spirit of the original series, even though director Nicholas Meyer was a Trek neophyte. With Leonard Nimoy directing, The Search for Spock (1984) began where Khan left off, with a thrilling (albeit contrived) obligation to resurrect the formerly ill-fated Mr. Spock.
A box-office smash, Nimoy's The Voyage Home (1986) is the franchise's most accessible adventure—a high point offset by William Shatner's comparatively dreadful Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). Meyer (and his penchant for quoting Shakespeare) returned for The Undiscovered Country (1991), a conspiracy thriller that put the series back on track, inspiring fans to invoke the "even number" rule in rating their franchise favorites. Generations (1994) gracefully passed the torch to TV's The Next Generation, bidding farewell to Captain Kirk with honor and integrity intact. Highlighted by the evolving humanity of Brent Spiner's android Lt. Cmdr. Data, First Contact (1996) explored Star Trek history with a logical (hint) surprise encounter, and Insurrection (1998) provided an adequate expansion of the successful NextGen series. Taken as a whole, these ten films demonstrate the consistent vitality of Roddenberry's original vision, stoking any Trekker's appetite for "ongoing missions" in Nemesis and beyond. —Jeff Shannon

On the online look out to see how the filming of Black Ink Crew went at Harlem's Cedric French Bistro and Bar and BAM…I came across their posting that said their Christmas tree caught on fire and burned some of their roof. Yikes! If the filming of the VH1 reality show continued as planned, they would have caught this incident on camera, which can make some good TV visuals. On a serious note though, no one was hurt in or around the Harlem restaurant, which is very good news. Whew!
