President Bush's "Star Wars" speech reminded me of a conversation I had late in the Clinton era with Ezra Vogel, who served headed the State Department's Asia intelligence during the first Clinton Administration. He had returned to Harvard, but was deeply engaged in a wide range of trans-Pacific security negotiations. Responding to a question about his goal for meetings to explore creation of a U.S.-Chinese-Japanese security framework, he said he sought a "grand bargain" with China. How? By threatening deployment of Theater Missile Defenses (TMD) which could theoretically neutralize all China's missiles. As the threat became credible, China would be offered a deal: The U.S. would call off TMD deployments if China would agree not to adopt a more aggressive military doctrine and not to deploy weapons that increased its aggressive capabilities.
That this would leave the nuclear-capable U.S. 7th Fleet, hundreds of U.S. forward deployed military bases and installations, and 100,000 G.I.s and their weapons still surrounding China concerned him not at all.
Many "interests" are served by the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld Star Wars program, but with their strategic focus concentrating increasingly on Asia, the fantasy of restoring power relations similar to that following the Opium War is high on the list. By military means and otherwise, Washington aims to integrate China into a U.S.-Japanese dominated system on Washington's – not China's – terms.
Shortly after this conversation took place, I traveled to China where Chinese strategic analysts were fixated on the dangers of threatened U.S. T.M.D. deployments. As the Chinese government has done many times since, they repeated that having "stood up" after a century and a half of Western domination, they would not tolerate such intimidation. They know that the U.S. is closer to developing TMD technologies than the more ambitions "National" missile defenses (NMD). And, they were unmistakably clear that if TMD are deployed, China will produce as many missiles as needed to overwhelm them. Apparently the Bush Administration doesn't care. Secretary Rumsfeld has fused the technologically more feasible concept of TMD with the NMD pipe dream, and the Administration is pushing full steam ahead.
Major U.S. policies – including war – are usually driven by a coalition of interests. This is certainly the case with so-called missile defenses. Bush's Star Wars speech was short on details but long in terms of the interests and ambitions represented. First and foremost, it sought to remove their major diplomatic obstacle: the 1972 A.B.M. Treaty, which precludes missile defenses and is the foundation of the world's nuclear arms control agreements.
Toward what end? First is the political agenda – reinforcing the Bush Administration's right-wing political base by promising protection against the inflated specter of Saddam Hussein, and simultaneously seeking to isolate Star Wars opponents as soft on defense. Of course, Richard Butler, who headed the U.N.'s special commission to disarm Iraq, is clear that an Iraqi nuclear threat is a "remote" danger. Star Wars has been a political project since Reaganites invented it to marginalize the 1980s Nuclear Weapons Freeze movement. The Freeze movement prevailed, but Republicans and too many Democrats learned that Star Wars is good politics. Even if the technology doesn't work, false promises of security through missile shields win election votes. Thus the Clinton-era debate was not about whether to fund Star Wars research, but at what level. Democrats, for the most part, feared making themselves politically vulnerable.
Someone, of course, profits when Washington flushes tax payer dollars down the drain. "Free enterprise" is good in theory, but there is a long history of Pentagon budgets being used to subsidize covert national industrial policies. Remember the supercomputer race? Also recall that throughout the 1990s the high tech industry was one of Bill Clinton's most important political bases.
The "military" part of the military-industrial-complex must also be mollified and nourished. Bush's vision of land, air, sea and space-based "missile defense" platforms neatly skirts the Pentagon's internal turf wars by gorging all its competing empires.
Yet, the most intriguing aspect of Bush's speech was the olive branch proffered to Russia – not China. If Russia will modify the ABM treaty, there are hints that some of its industries and scientists can be integrated into the U.S.-dominated system, and its military can dream of staying in the game. So what if that isolates China. That's the point. Recently Russia and China have established a weak "strategic partnership" in response to Washington's increasingly aggressive unilateralism. But, with both nations dependent on, and anxious for, U.S. and Japanese technologies and investments, the faux alliance is tenuous at best. Washington is making Moscow an offer.
Which returns us to extorting the "grand bargain" from China. In 1972, Richard Nixon split the Sino-Soviet alliance, opening the way to play one against the other. The Bush Administration appears to be tempted to try it again, this time using Moscow to reinforce post-Cold War containment of China. This is a dangerous game. The spy plane confrontation should have taught us the perils of arrogant disregard for Chinese history, politics, and power.
The Cold War ended through popular demonstrations and Realpolitik understanding that "common security" is real security. In this regard, there is a true grand bargain to be honored: the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which commits the U.S. and other nuclear powers to eliminate all their nuclear weapons. It. trumps a costly and dangerous arms race with a nation that is the world's oldest continuous civilization.

CHICAGO (AP) — Jay Cutler threw for 188 yards and a touchdown after missing a game because of a concussion, and the Chicago Bears broke it open early in a 28-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Tied with Green Bay for the NFC North lead and just a game ahead of Minnesota (6-5) coming in, the Bears (8-3) grabbed a 25-3 halftime lead with Cutler connecting on just about every pass. The defense held Adrian Peterson in check early on, although he did finish with 108 yards rushing. Chicago also came away with three more takeaways to increase its league-leading total to 30.
But the Bears also lost Devin Hester and Matt Forte to injuries.

LONDON (AP) -- Atletico Madrid and Athletico Bilbao are set to enter dangerous territory on Thursday, literally, as the teams travel to Israel.
Superstar striker Falcao and his Atletico Madrid team play the already eliminated Hapoel Tel Aviv, 40 miles (64 kilometers) from strife-torn Gaza.
A win will guarantee automatic qualification and maintain a perfect record for the Spanish team, and Falcao will be hoping to score to avoid a run of four games without a goal, a relative drought for his high standards. Hapoel have managed a solitary point from their four games.
Level on points with Madrid is Plzen. The Czech team will guarantee qualification if they are victorious at Academica. Academica must win to have any realistic chance of progressing from the group.
Athletic Bilbao will face Hap Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel.
Press spokesman Xavier Fernandez said the club had spoken on the phone with UEFA officials who had said the match would go ahead as planned. "We are not really in a position to contradict UEFA, and we will be going unless things get a lot worse," Fernandez told The Associated Press.
Regional analyst Jorge Garma said media reports in the Basque Country were all unanimous in supporting the club in its decision to go to Israel, but many reported that UEFA had given assurances about the safety of the trip.
Spokeswoman Iosune Vegas said, "As of right now, the team is going to Israel. UEFA told us the match would be played, and we are going."
Bilbao have just one point from their four games in group I. Anything less than a win would make it impossible for them to progress, and if Sparta Prague beat or draw with Lyon, who have already qualified, then both those teams will qualify.
Group A is proving to be one of the most interesting, given the closeness in points of the teams. Anzhi Makhachkala is leading the way with seven points, and may solidify that against Udinese, who are last with four points.
Anzhi has won six of their seven points at home, and have yet to concede in the Ukraine, so Udinese, who drew at home to Parma on the weekend, may find it a difficult game.
Liverpool host Swiss side Young Boys. Both teams have six points, and with two games left a win could be crucial for both team's qualification chances.
Serie A team Lazio host Premier League side Tottenham in another key game, to help decide who will qualify from group J. Lazio are two points ahead of Tottenham with eight points, and a win will guarantee qualification for them. Tottenham are on six points, so could go ahead of Lazio if Andre Villas Boas' side take a win from the Stadio Olimpico.
Breathing down the neck of Tottenham is NK Maribor. If Tottenham lose, and Maribor can take three points away from Panathanaikos, they will push ahead of the north London club. Anything less than a win will make it extremely difficult for the Greek club, which are in last place, to qualify.
Napoli let a two goal lead slip into a disappointing draw against AC Milan, and will be hoping to bounce back as the team travel to Sweden to face AIK, two points ahead of their Swedish opponents in group F.
Edinson Cavani came fifth in the AP Global Soccer rankings after he scored four goals in Napoli's 4-2 victory over Dnipro two weeks ago. "It was a really wonderful night," he said. "I always look to give my maximum but every game is different and we will certainly have to fight in Sweden.
Also in group F, last-placed PSV Eindhoven host group-leaders Dnipro. A Dnipro win guarantees qualification, but if PSV win, provided Napoli don't, they could go second on goal-difference.
Newcastle lead group D, and host Maritimo, knowing a win will send the north England team through with a game in hand. Bordeaux, in second place, can also guarantee qualification with a win at Club Bruges.
Inter Milan travel to Rubin Kazan for the big match of group H. Both teams have 10 points and have already qualified. Rubin have perfect home form, Inter have perfect away form.

Select Route:
The crux is about 15-20 feet up. You have a left hand in a crack and your right hand on a side pull then you have to smear really high on a bulge and reach a one finger vertical pinch. Be sure to keep your stomach really close to the rock when pulling up on the pinch. After you get over the bulge it's basically a thin (kind of trick/spooky) slab climb to the top.
The route is located on the east side of the boulder under the roof. Start in a vertical crack, then you transition into a horizontal crack. The route then follows the obvious crack. To get off the boulder, down climb the west side where you will see some rock steps. Please don't knock the rocks down. :)

LONDON (AP) -- The IOC wants governments to do more to tackle illegal betting, match-fixing and other corrupt activity that authorities say could pose a bigger threat to sports and the Olympics than doping.
The International Olympic Committee will host a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday of sports leaders, government ministers, licensed betting operators, lottery companies and the international police agency Interpol.
The meeting, which comes less than six months before the London Olympics, will act on a series of recommendations for cracking down on the multibillion-dollar underground illegal sports gambling industry.
IOC director general Christophe De Kepper tells The Associated Press: "We need governments to wake up" to the magnitude of the problem.

Georgia and Alabama officials continue to be on the lookout for an escaped inmate considered to be armed and dangerous.
Chad Dasher escaped from the Tattnall County jail with another inmate more than three weeks ago.
Deputies in New Hope, Alabama, say they spotted Dasher, who led them on a short chase at about 1 a.m. Wednesday. He fled on foot after the SUV he was driving got stuck in the mud.
"The individual's rap sheet extends to over 30 pages. Most of the violence has been directed at law enforcement. It's our understanding that the individual is addicted to narcotics and he vehemently does not want to go back to prison. So, we certainly consider him to be armed and dangerous," warned Deputy Chris Stephens, Madison County, Alabama.
Authorities in Alabama believe Dasher is driving a black 2002 Toyota Sequoia that was reported stolen Wednesday morning in Madison County, AL.
If you know anything concerning Dasher's whereabouts, contact police immediately.

Oh My God! Look Sir!Our van service driver, Roger Jr., as we call him, picked me up this morning at 6 a.m. for a trip to the Manila VA Regional Office. We got onto the North Luzon Expressway at the Angeles City – Magalang entrance and headed south toward Manila. I stared sleepily out the passenger side window watching as farmers winnowed their rice crop or burned the resultant waste straw. Why they burn it, I have no idea. They burn everything here; I hate that. I shrugged off that vexing question and settled in for the hour and a half ride to the U.S. Embassy.
Suddenly I was snapped out of my reverie, "Oh my God! Look SIR!"
I turned toward Roger and saw him pointing at the oncoming traffic on the other side of the median. A jeepney was careening crazily from side-to-side 100 meters or so ahead of us. Roger was already slowing down as the ancient, out-of-control vehicle took one last wild swerve into the center median, caught its right front wheel in the soft ground and flopped over on its right side.
We gasped as a dust cloud enveloped the crashed jeep, and then we were past it. "I hope that thing isn't full of people," I prayed aloud looking back. I knew my hopes were in vain, because people tend to pack themselves by the bunch into cars and vans over here. It's amazing how many they can fit in. Sometimes its like watching the little clown cars where one person after another climbs out, and 10 minutes later, they are still debarking. Folks around here are a lot smaller than Americans, so they can really pack 'em in too!
By the time we could get stopped, we were 50 feet past the wreck site. Three "good samaritan" cars were already parked behind us, and more continued to pull over. Even more cars had stopped on the other side of the highway. I was relieved that people were stopping to help.
Before the dust had settled, the driver appeared from the other side of his turned over vehicle. He frantically scrambled to the rear entrance of his flipped jeepney and crawled half in. He began pulling out items, and then a woman in jeans crawled out, followed by a young man. Passersby were now assisting, and one reached in and pulled out a small boy, who looked to be 5 or 6 years old. People of various ages and gender were starting to stagger out or were pulled out by others. I'd seen enough.
"Come on Roger. Let's get to a call box and call for an ambulance."
There's no 911 here, so the call box was the best option to get help fast. We piled back into our van and sped off. In less than a mile we found an emergency phone, but before we could get out, I saw a caravan of four ambulances speed past us toward the toppled jeepney. I was amazed and thankful to see help was on the way, and so quickly.
"Rog, that is even a faster response than you can get in the States. Wow!"
For the next 20 or so miles, we talked of watching the jeepney flip over, and the amazing aftermath. Roger was overcome with emotion at first, after seeing that children were involved, so I did all the talking for awhile.
Here are my conclusions after what I saw today:
1) My faith in the goodness of Filipinos has been buttressed and increased. People were falling over themselves to stop and help.
2) If you're going to have a car accident in the Philippines, have it on the North Luzon Expressway.
3) The emergency response system on that expressway is very very good.
4) Jeepneys are inherently unsafe at high speeds, and shouldn't be allowed on superhighways.
As I've remarked before, I'm much more impressed with the way people in this country react to accidents and mishaps than, for instance, the way folks react to similar instances in the supposedly more advanced country of Japan. I don't like to say negative things about any group of people, but the Japanese could really stand a dose of human kindness, Filipino style. Read this earlier post that explains exactly what I mean, based on my own anecdotal experiences in Japan.
We could only speculate what caused that jeep to go so violently out of control. It appeared to be overloaded, so maybe the suspension failed; or it could have blown a tire, or perhaps ALL of the above. On the way back, we inspected the road surface and could find no skid marks at all, so it seems the driver never even tried to apply the brakes, if he had any at all. Then again, I don't see how he could -- the way that jeeney was fishtailing; he probably couldn't even FIND the brake pedal. If there are any mechanics or crash experts out there, feel free to interject with your insights.
Anyway .... Another day, another adventure.

Environmental regulators in Georgia are holding another meeting on how to speed up the issuance of environmental permits.
A law passed this year requires the Environmental Protection Division to create a process to expedite permits for entities willing to pay a special fee. The system takes effect July 1.
Sen. Ross Tolleson, the bill sponsor, has said the measure will help alleviate a backlog.
To speed up the process, the review of permits could be conducted by outside firms. Some environmental watchdog groups fear that will lead to conflicts of interests.
The EPD's air protection branch plans to hold a meeting Tuesday on how to implement the law. The workshop is free, but registration is required.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $24
Easy to use in a very similar way to a traditional belay plate, but with added security.
- Assisted braking
- Simple to use
- Very light
- Can jam on thick climbing centre ropes
I wanted an assisted braking belay device to give my wife more confidence in lead belaying. The Smart is just what I needed as it operates in a very similar way to a traditional belay plate but gives added security of assisted braking.
It's very light to carry and quick and easy to set up with no moving parts to the device. The lowering and paying out action is slightly different to a plate device but not too dissimilar to take too long to learn.
It does not like thick, well worn climbing centre, in place top ropes, but works really well with all of my lead ropes.
I use this with a DMM Belay Master to prevent cross loading and it's a great combination.
We did try a Grigri, but found to be such a different action to a normal plate that smooth use did not come easily. Perhaps given more time a Grigri would have won us over. At least with the Smart I can get more gear in my luggage allowance!
Whether I am leading an Intro to Rock or Ice Day or…
Whether I am leading an Intro to Rock or Ice Day or just out climbing with my friends the Mammut Smart is always with me in all seasons.
It is very easy to use and great because it can be used with one finger (but I wouldn't recommend that). The device doing most of the work in the brake position is great for those cold ice climbing days when it is a little bit harder to grip the rope, and the release is great. It takes a couple of times to get used to the release but what belay device doesnt.
I have had most of my friends use it and they all own them now and the ones that don't always want to borrow mine.
For my first purchase of a belay device, I wanted…
Price Paid: $29.95
For my first purchase of a belay device, I wanted something versatile, but user-friendly. Having only used the Petzl GriGri in the past, I needed something light weight and affordable, functional for both top-rope and leading, but intuitive for a novice. After discussing the options with some friends at my local REI, I was excited and most interested in the SMART. When my Dividend came out, it was mine.
The first time using it at my local climbing gym, I noticed that there was a learning curve, but it was very steep. The first thing I noticed is that when the device is new, it has the tendency to lock when feeding and taking-in rope, however - IT IS NOT AN AUTO-LOCKING BELAY. There are comments out there that it has this feature, but I feel it cannot be depended upon to do so.
As our climbing session went on, (whether wearing-in the device or getting used to its functionality) I found it fed very well and rappelled very smoothly at varying speeds. It held securely when I needed to and arrested falls very easily though dynamically with little pressure needing to be applied.
-Feeds differently from other belay devices (directly in front of the belayer rather than to the side), but is easy to get used-to
-Stops falls quickly but dynamically, requiring little pressure on the rope to arrest a fall
-Rappels very smoothly at varying speeds
-Easy to learn - could be used by a brand-new climber or expert alike
Overall, I look forward to years of use out of this device!
Where to Buy
Manufacturer's Description
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Mammut Smart Alpine Belay DeviceHave fun with your friends and family on your belaying or rappelling adventures using the Mammut Smart Alpine Belay Device. One of the most interesting features of this climbing equipment is that it is the first belay device with braking force support and can be used with twin and half ropes and single ropes, exerting the braking action itself, in case of a fall. This belay has been tested in the lab and in the field, making them safe and providing high quality. Since new climbing ropes are being developed all the time, the Smart Alpine Belay comes in two versions, Smart Alpine 7.5 - 9.5 (silver), best if used with double rope or thin single ropes and the Smart Alpine 8.9 - 10.5 (black), suitable for larger single ropes. It doesn't matter if you are a recreational climber or an extreme mountaineer, set your trust on the Mammut Smart Alpine Belay Device.
- SunnySports
Look no further than the Mammut Smart Belay Package when you want maximum safety and versatility. The highly versatile Smart belay device proves its worth when you take it on multipitches, with the ability to belay like a standard device, catch falls like an auto-locker, rappel, and belay directly from the anchors for easy times on the wall. Mammut built the Element Smart HMS Carabiner specifically for the Smart belay device by preventing it from cross-loading, because of the internal gate. A twistlock gate secures the gate automatically, and the keylock nose prevents the rope from snagging.

It may seem like a nuisance to some, but for those confined to a wheelchair getting around on the city streets is a must. Jackson city officials say making all areas handicap accessible is still years away.
In the meantime drivers are asked to watch out for the disabled in wheelchairs whose rights must be respected too.
Clifton Bailey has been wheelchair bound since contracting Polio as an infant.
His daily like of traveling the city to run errands and handle business can be dangerous.
Many of the areas he frequents do not have sidewalks or the sidewalks are not handicap accessible.
"Somebody hit me coming at the light, and I have been thrown out of this chair," said Bailey.
The Delhaven Manor resident uses his motorized chair on Bailey Avenue to go to the grocery store where he said he can't use the sidewalks because there are no entrance or exit cuts.
The 55 year old is asking motorists to slow down and share the roadway.
"I would like them to respect us when they see us out here and on the street," added Bailey.
"As we redo streets we will be putting in curb cuts," said Jackson Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Coordinator Sam Gleese.
Gleese lost his eyesight in 1979 due to Macular Degeneration and understands the plight of the disabled trying to live normal lives in a large city.
He said Jackson is complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and submitted a transition plan to the federal government two years ago.
Gleese said the city is working to make all areas handicap accessible.
Current construction projects like Fortification and Capital Streets will have full access when completed.
"Once we start the infrastructure improvements with the water system and things like that a lot of that will be expedited because we'll be tearing up streets and rebuilding streets and resurfacing streets and so therefore those improvements can take place," said the ADA Compliance Coordinator.
According to state law, the wheelchair bound and other physically disabled persons shall have the same rights to the full and free use of the streets, highways, sidewalks and walkways.
But the disabled must also meet regulations when on the roadway like using reflectors, visibility flags and other illuminations on their wheelchairs after sunset.
Bailey says he has also run into hurdles when trying to use public transportation.
"Like that bus right there. Sometimes that lifter doesn't work on that bus," he said while pointing to a JATRAN bus driving past his Albermarle Road home.
"If a citizen can not use a handicap accessible bus I need to know immediately, because that bus will be pulled off and another bus will be substituted in its place and that one repaired," said Gleese.
Officials ask that you report problems with buses or any other issues with handicap accessibility to the Jackson ADA Compliance Office which is located in Metrocenter Mall.
The ADA Compliance Office is a division of the Jackson Department of Human and Cultural Services.
You may reach them by calling 601-960-1863.

VACATIONS, BY DEFINITION, free us from the shackles of adulthood. We vacate not just our home, but also our schedules, responsibilities, and occasionally, our adult hang-ups for them. In short, they give us an excuse to behave like children.
And we're happy to, until we land at one of those resorts catering to grownups who behave like kids, and remember just how tacky and quality-free the places can be. On the other hand, it's no fun to spend playtime in the opposite — an uptight spot with superlative service, but where no one seems to be having a good time.
Will the twain ever meet? Yes: at the Cove in the Bahamas, a five-hour flight from Boston. The latest addition to Atlantis (yes, land of the fabled slides that plunge underwater past live sharks), the complex is a halcyon enclave in the resort's otherwise throbbing chaos. Inside, 600 plush, tastefully ultramodern suites (courtesy of designers Jeffrey Beers and David Rockwell) — all of which sport marble bathrooms big enough to pass as individual spas — are perched over a powder-sand beach open only to Cove guests.
Wander 300(ish) steps outside that tranquility, and suddenly you're facing the roar of the Abyss, a slide with a nigh-vertical 50-foot drop that literally takes your breath away. Sure, you could recover from the adrenaline rush it induces with a perfunctory hot dog from the snack bar. Or you could stroll a mere minute back to the Cove and sit down at Mesa Grill, the sophisticated tropical outpost of celeb chef Bobby Flay's steakhouse chain. It's a swish scene designed within an inch of its life, and the star of the menu is a spice-jacked, chipotle-glazed rib-eye with red and green chili sauce.
Afterward, the slides are always waiting. But the best option might be to simply wander through the Cove; its cluster of meandering, open-air buildings laced with streams and koi ponds has a minimalist Balinese vibe (think sleek bamboo and low lighting) and a low-key hipness that's nearly meditative.
Should your path lead to the late-night casinos, recoup in the morning at the 9,000-square-foot "ultrapool," flanked by 20 rentable private cabanas (complete with flat-screen TVs and VIP butler service). The swanky but serene area is one of the property's few spots designated as adults-only. Adults, that is, in theory.
Suites, $590–$16,000 per night; the Cove Atlantis, One Casino Drive, Paradise Island, The Bahamas, 242-363-3000, atlantis.com.

By John Toole
---- — New Hampshire is getting more than $136,000 in federal aid to train for disasters with hazardous materials.
Congresswomen Carol Shea-Porter and Annie McLane Kuster, both D-N.H., announced the grant this week.
"With an oil pipeline that runs through the North Country, active shipping lanes on the Seacoast and responsibility for everything in between, New Hampshire's first responders must be prepared for a potential hazardous material incident," Shea-Porter said.
The funding will help first responders train and prepare to keep the public safe, Kuster said.
The training grant pleased state officials.
"This funding is incredibly important to the state," said Les Cartier, hazardous materials technical response coordinator for the State Fire Marshal's Office. "These are the guys that actually respond, take care of and evaluate hazardous material situations of all kinds."
Training isn't a onetime effort.
"The training has to be continuous," he said. "It increases the safety of our citizens and visitors to New Hampshire."
This summer's rail disaster in Quebec highlighted another potential danger, increasing oil shipments through Southern New Hampshire communities including Plaistow, Newton, Kingston and Atkinson.
Officials expressed confidence that the rail line, which also transports passengers, is among the safest around. But at the time local officials acknowledged they already have met for rail safety training and that the Quebec explosion would be a topic for future safety discussions.

An overworked Toadie is trying to run his business single-handedly.
When Paul and Sheila find themselves locked in The Waterhole cool room, their bickering about who is to blame quickly turns to worry.
Sheila battles a series of erotic fantasies about a mysterious stranger inspired by The Book of Secrets, but each time the stranger's identity is revealed, she's appalled to realise it's Lou.
Tensions mount between Lauren and Matt when he refuses to let Paige off with a warning.
Kathy greets Paige warmly from her hospital bed, but Paige rushes from the room and confides in Brad that it doesn't seem right that Kathy can so easily brush over the pain she's caused.

Lucy suggests she and Chris babysit Nell and the pair end up having a ball bonding over stories of heartbreak. Singing Chris's praises to Sonya, Lucy presses her for more information about him.
In the wake of Paige's revelation, the Willis and Turner families are in turmoil. Lauren accepts Paige unconditionally, but Brad's a little more reserved in his acceptance.
Reeling after her discovery of the two teddy bears, Lauren is at first shocked to discover they're Paige's, then devastated to find she's gone.
With both Toadie and Kathy unconscious and unresponsive in the aftermath of the accident, it's up to Paige to raise help, but only after instinctively saving Kathy's life.
A disappointed Paige realises that the notebook she swiped from Kathy doesn't answer any of the questions about her adoption.

When Lucy pays a surprise visit, Karl hopes that seeing his sister will help lift Paul's mood, but Paul isn't interested.
Sonya insists that she and Toadie go to a live outdoor music gig and Toadie finds himself traipsing through the dark with her as they search for the venue.

MTV Movie Awards Preview
A look at what's to come.
If you're looking for an awards show that transcends the bland and boring, the 2012 "MTV Movie Awards" promises some wackiness and fun as well as large doses of unpredictability. Airing live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif., on June 3 at 9 p.m., the show is a telecast featuring MTV viewers' favorite stars, films and music.
The 2012 show
Like other years, the engaging award categories combine the usual (Best Movie and Best Performance), with edgier honors like Best Villain, Best Kiss, Best Fight, Best Jaw Dropping Moment, Best Scared-As-S**T Performance and Biggest Badass Star. The nominees are determined by producers and executives, and online voting by the public on MTV's official website (www.movieawards.mtv.com) picks the winners. The preshow publicity for the 2012 show promises "another night of infamous F-bombs, celebrity spit swapping and A-List antics."
Executive Producer for 2012
Innovative Jesse Ignjatovic and his company Den of Thieves, which specializes in event shows and reality television series, will serve as executive producer of this year's show. Among the company's other productions is VH1's "The T.O Show," "MTV Unplugged: Lil Wayne," the 2011 "16th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards" and 2010 "CMT Music Awards."
Ignjatovic has served as executive producer for the "MTV Video Music Awards" for the past five years, including the 2011 "Video Music Awards," which scored the biggest audience in MTV's history.
Last year's awards show, hosted by comedian Jason Sudeikis, was a controversial one with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis groping each other as they presented the Best Male Performance trophy to Robert Pattinson.
The Foo Fighters rocked the house along with Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz, and there was a surprise appearance by Justin Bieber. Among the celebs in the house were Cameron Diaz, Jim Carrey, Kristen Stewart and Alexys Nycole Sanchez.
The "MTV Movie Awards" debuted in 1992 in a show emceed by comedian Dennis Miller. "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" won the Best Movie award that year.
Previous MTV Movie Award winners
While the Oscars and Golden Globes dominate Hollywood's most prestigious movie awards list, MTV Movie Awards are treasured because they're closely monitored by a younger demographic. The "Twilight" series has captured the Best Movie title over the past three years ("Twilight" in 2009, "New Moon" in 2010 and "Eclipse" in 2011). Previous winners include "The Transformers" in 2008, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in 2007, "Wedding Crashers" in 2006 and "Napoleon Dynamite" in 2005.
Known as Hollywood's most over-the-top awards show, the "MTV Movie Awards" never fails to deliver on big surprises and irreverent behavior. The 2012 version promises to score high on both counts.

Rejuvenated Seahawks get their act together

Meet East Lancashire's 2014 Winter Olympic medal contenders: Paula Walker ready to make her mark
4:00pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News
PAULA Walker is still the Blackburn girl who doesn't like the cold.
But despite that the bobsleigh ace heads to next month's Winter Olympics in Russia with a top eight finish in mind and an outside chance of a medal.
Having been named in the British squad last week Walker, who will be taking part in her second Olympics having finished 14th in Vancouver four years ago, will be partnered by brakeswoman Rebekah Wilson. Walker will also be joined in Sochi by her partner John Jackson who is in the men's bobsleigh squad.
Walker's road to medal contender has been a long one. The former St Bede's High School pupil's introduction to bobsleigh in 2007, at the age of 21, was a harsh one – an army training run left her battered and bruised, terrified and cold.
"I confirm, I still don't really like the cold," said the 27-year-old. "I remember that first run when I was persuaded to give it a go. I hated it. I was battered and bruised and I didn't like the snow or the cold.
"I remember thinking at the time, 'what am I doing?' "I was absolutely terrified. It was one of the worst experiences of my life."
But Walker's talent shone through and she was invited to take part in Team GB trials before making her debut in 2006.

I think someone from Canon initiated this discussion just to see customer reaction and get some ideas on what to do next. I am sure Canon reps are having fun reading this thread and are putting check marks and crosses next to each idea/suggestion :-)
It started something like this:
Canon rep1: why not spilt 5d into two models?
Canon rep2: hmm, let's get some customer feedback first.
Canon rep1: hey, canonrumors, there is a rumor floating that...
Canonrumors: The future of the 5D line (CR2)!
Ha ha. If only Canon did more research based on geeked out tech rumor forums... I'd have my 5D3 (best features from the 5D2 + 7D with resolution and dynamic range to spare) in hand shooting like a champion.

The Carolina Panthers did not wait long to reveal the fate of offensive tackle Jeff Otah. After the team had a deal in place to trade Otah to the New York Jets, Otah failed his physical, which led to the Jets pulling out of the trade. Now it appears as though Otah will be playing for neither team in 2012.
The Associated Press reports that the Panthers have terminated Otah's contract and are releasing him outright. Otah has been plagued by knee problems over the past few seasons and has missed 31 of his last 35 NFL games.
The Panthers initially drafted Otah in the 2008 NFL Draft and he had been with the team ever since, playing well in his first two seasons before the injuries set it. It is possible that another team will take a chance on him before the season begins, but at this point, that seems unlikely.
For more on the Panthers, head over to Cat Scratch Reader.
