8 ME hospitals sue Sebelius over payments for low-income patients
Eight Maine hospitals have sued U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over the government's handling of millions of dollars in payments for some low-income and elderly patients. In the suit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Portland, the hospitals argue that Sebelius arbitrarily and improperly ruled against them in a dispute over the payments. The eight hospitals are Maine Medical Center in Portland, Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick, Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Mercy Hospital in Portland, Northern Maine Medical Center in Fort Kent, Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford and MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta.

The frontman for the Christian heavy metal band As I Lay Dying was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly trying to hire a detective posing as a hitman to kill his estranged wife.
According to the Los Angeles Times, 32-year-old Tim Lambesis was arrested in Oceanside, California and charged with one count of of solicitation to commit murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit a crime. His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.
KFMB-TV reported on Tuesday that Lambesis' wife, Meggan, filed for divorce in September 2012. San Diego County Sheriffs officials said they received a tip on May 2 as to Lambesis' alleged intentions and set up a meeting between the detective and the singer.
"When you put something out there like this, you don't know who you're talking to," said Sheriffs Department spokesperson Jan Caldwell. "And when you do something this evil and this sinister, you might be talking to a deputy sheriff."
Lambesis' band had recently returned from a tour of Asia, and was scheduled to embark on another tour on May 30. It was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Metal Performance in 2007.

A big "thank you!" to Bertis — this made my day! I hope everyone's dried out; my shoes are still damp, and may never be the same…
I hope everyone has a good show Thursday night! :)

siderostat, any of a class of astronomical instruments consisting of a flat mirror that is turned slowly by a motor to reflect a given region of the sky continuously into a fixed telescope. In the traditional siderostat, the mirror is rotated by a lever arm connected to a motor that turns at a rate of one revolution every 24 hours. This so-called Foucault siderostat provides a fixed but rotating image. In recent years the Foucault siderostat has been largely supplanted by the heliostat, which is a polar siderostat, and by the coelostat.

The appointment of Alberto Gonzales to the nation's top law enforcement post merits two mentions in the history books: He is the first Hispanic ever to hold the influential position, and he received the second-most "no" votes in the Senate ever against an attorney general nominee. Divergent views on Mr. Gonzales paint a portrait of either a humble man who represents the pinnacle of Hispanic achievement or a presidential "yes" man who is the Republican dream.
President George W. Bush likes to say that Mr. Gonzales is proof the American dream is alive and well. Mr. Gonzales, the son of migrant farm workers, has persevered from an impoverished childhood to become a Harvard Law School graduate and a presidential advisor. Mr. Gonzales's appointment has drawn broad support from the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Latino Coalition, the National Hispanic Bar Association, and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
"Whenever you are the first at anything, you are opening doors, and that's always a good thing," says Gabriela Lemus, director of policy and legislation at LULAC. "I think LULAC's position overall is we know we're not always going to be on the same side, but we always want to be able to have a dialogue so maybe we can get closer to the middle."
"I think [Mr. Gonzales's appointment is] very meaningful, and I think it's something we should take pride in as Latinos," says NCLR President Janet Murguia. "He's in a position no Hispanic has ever been in, and I think we can benefit as Latinos by that."
Senator Mel Martínez, a Republican from Florida, made one of his first speeches on the Senate floor in defense of Mr. Gonzales. "Judge Gonzales will be the first Hispanic American to serve in one of the top four Cabinet positions when he becomes our nation's attorney general," he said. "This is a breakthrough of incredible magnitude for Hispanic Americans that should not be diluted by partisan politics."
So far in office, Mr. Gonzales has moved to lay out his priorities. In initial remarks to Justice Department staff, he noted they have "a special obligation to protect America against future acts of terrorism." Mr. Gonzales has targeted issues including expediting the deportation of illegal immigrants, ending an impasse over judicial nominees, and extending government powers under the Patriot Act.
Critics question Mr. Gonzales's allegiance to the president rather than the country.
"What can we expect of him? Absolute dogged loyalty," says Rodolfo De La Garza, a political science professor at Columbia University. "The pressure comes in to [Mr.] Bush from the right wing and the money industries. [Mr.] Bush lets people know what he wants. The attorney general has demonstrated he will roll over and give it to him."
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus did not oppose Mr. Gonzales but did not endorse him either. Executive Director Maria Meier says the organization of 21 Democratic Congress members decided to not issue a position after they were told Mr. Gonzales was too busy to meet with them until after his confirmation. "This is the first time for someone to come to us and say, 'No, I no longer want your endorsement.' So there's some disappointment there," she says.
Some of the nation's leading civil rights groups, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Amnesty International raised "serious concerns" over Mr. Gonzales, focusing particularly on a 2002 memo that came to light during the investigation of prisoner abuse allegations at Abu Ghraib. Mr. Gonzales wrote that the Geneva Conventions didn't apply to certain prisoners in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars because "the war against terrorism is a new kind of war" and "this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions."
Seeking to clarify the issue, Mr. Gonzales told a Senate judiciary panel that "contrary to reports, I consider the Geneva Conventions neither obsolete nor quaint."
In 1999, Mr. Bush named Mr. Gonzales to the Texas Supreme Court. When Mr. Bush won the presidential election in 2000 and moved to Washington, he took Mr. Gonzales with him as White House counsel. In that role, critics charge, Mr. Gonzales worked to protect the secrecy of his client. He vigorously rejected requests from the independent commission investigating the September 11 terrorist attacks for access to presidential documents. He stopped the commission from reviewing daily presidential intelligence briefings, permitting selected members to view only portions of them. He recommended halting congressional oversight of the data leading to presidential pardons. He requested successive extensions of deadlines for turning over the papers of past presidents. He argued that records of Vice-President Richard Cheney's energy policy task force should be spared congressional or public scrutiny.
Mr. Martínez says it's unfair to criticize Mr. Gonzales when he was fulfilling his role as a lawyer. "When he was the president's lawyer, he was the president's lawyer," Mr. Martínez says. "People have to understand a lawyer has a role when they're a person's lawyer. That's not to say that the role of attorney general is to be the president's lawyer. It's to be America's lawyer. It's a different role."
But some caution not to expect the new attorney general to do anything that his president doesn't want. "We can't look to him to take a position on an issue based on the understanding of the law," says Mr. De La Garza. "How can we have any confidence that he will do that? The answer is, we can't."
Ultimately, history will judge whether Mr. Gonzales will be known as an infamous attorney general or an influential one, whether he will strike out on his own and make decisions independent of the president or whether he will back the party line.
Mr. Martínez just wants him to have a fair opportunity. "The American way is fairness," he says. "Give him a chance. Don't bring baggage and presumptions that he can't possibly be fair or independent. I think he will be a great attorney general."

Wednesday Afternoon/Evening Forecast Discussion
Good Afternoon! The widespread cloud cover continues this afternoon, but it is thin, so we are still seeing some sunshine. Temperatures have warmed into the 70s, and I am still expecting highs into the upper 70s and lower 80s. There remains a slight risk of severe weather across parts of the area, including Fargo, Jamestown, Devils Lake, and Fergus Falls. The best timing for thunderstorms to develop and move into the area is late this evening, and into tonight. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are the main threats, but an isolated tornado is also possible.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through the night. Heavy rainfall is possible. Lows will be in the lower to middle 60s, with an east wind at 10-25 mph. A few isolated thunderstorms will again be possible on Thursday. Highs will be in the middle to upper 70s, with an east wind at 10-25 mph.
Have any big weekend plans? Well good news!! The weather is shaping up to be great! Expecting a mix of clouds and sunshine, with highs into the 80s. The pleasant weather will continue for the start of the next work week.
Have a great day!

Ah, the storied Swiss Alps: snow capped mountains, fields of wild flowers, burbling streams of clean water, simple folks out doing what simple folks do in such settings. Take for example the flock of sheep accompanied by blond haired girl along a winding path. Especially of note is how she picks up a rock and wings it at errant sheep.
In this, his second novel, Frisch gives a modernist take on the heroic quest for meaning by the solitary man in nature. Balz Leuthold, 30 years old, is a sorely disappointed man. Seventeen years ago he had accompanied his older brother (himself 30, soon to be married) in these same mountains. He had vowed then not to settle for the ordinary, but instead achieve the extraordinary in . . . something.
You could still tell yourself: you're only twenty, everything's still possible. And how proud you are when everything was still possible! Later it was: twenty-five's no age at all, and you like reading about people who had achieved nothing at twenty-five, which was something out of the ordinary, and those around them who did not believe that they had this or that achievement in them. True, you still didn't know in what field your future achievements would lie, but in the meantime you wore ties and hats of a style that would never occur to a ordinary citizen, and even at times you were afraid you might be ridiculous . . . and worthless and worse than anyone else on earth, it was a painful thought but not without its comfort; at least it gave you the feeling that it made you a special person, perhaps a criminal, and it was only when you failed to achieve anything by way of misdeeds that others could not do equally well, that a new and more despairing fear set in that your extraordinary achievement might not happen.
Hipsters beware! As the Preacher says in Ecclesiastes, "nothing new under the sun."
As the novel unfolds Balz is revealed as not such a total failure, except in his own eyes. He has a Ph.D., is ready to take on his new job of teaching (although in that system it sounds like he will teach school-aged children), and is engaged to a woman named Barbara.
After a trek he arrives at an inn at the base of some mountains, and the reader learns he intends to climb one by a route never achieved before, the North Ridge. (The helpful afterward by Peter von Mott explains that Frisch's contemporary readers would have recognized this as the North Wall of the Eiger Mountain which many had failed to climb yet, with upcoming tries much in the news.) Balz spends a day or two at the inn during bad weather, strikes up a relationship with Irene, a woman who has come to the inn with a married couple. He makes a practice climb on another rock face, one which we hear has been only successfully climbed by a few; clearly he is fit and experienced, not as wholly delusional as the reader might have feared from earlier descriptions. When he reaches the top of this climb he stands in the silence in an anticlimactic moment, an achievement with no self-evident meaning.
Balz sets out to climb the North Ridge. Irene follows, and turns out to be no innocent lured by the dashing young man. His fiancé Barbara arrives at the inn after their departure, gets the picture, reveals that she actually doesn't really love Balz (nor he her). Yet she goes to the camp where Irene has stayed, and they have an agreeable conversation; at nightfall Balz has not returned and a rescue party is sent out.
Balz does return, changed. It's safe to say he won't feel the need to achieve the spectacular anymore, and he does have an answer of sort for his living the rest of his life. No need to reveal what forms those developments take. To me the resolution seemed satisfying, "correct."
This novel is 100 pages and a quick read in an evening. It's an entertaining book to see in the context of modernism in general and Frisch's overall works specifically. As the Afterward points out, the themes in this novel are ones Frisch returned to frequently. I had read Man in the Holocene in college, and lent it out never to be returned. It's good to find a great writer who holds up.
The publisher's blurb for Oleg Pavlov's The Matiushin Case promises the prospective reader "a Crime and Punishment for today," the sort of comparison that is almost always guaranteed to do a disservice to both the legendary dead and the ambitious. . .
One hundred years have passed since the start of World War I and it is difficult to believe that there are still novels, considered classics in their own countries, that have never been published in English. Perhaps it was the. . .
In the London of Hédi Kaddour's Little Grey Lies, translated by Teresa Lavender Fagan, peace has settled, but the tensions, fears, and anger of the Great War remain, even if tucked away behind stories and lies. Directly ahead, as those. . .
One of the greatest services—or disservices, depending on your viewpoint—Bertrand Russell ever performed for popular philosophy was humanizing its biggest thinkers in his History. No longer were they Platonic ideals, the clean-shaven exemplars of the kind of homely truisms that. . .
The best way to review Alejandra Pizarnik's slim collection, A Musical Hell, published by New Directions as part of their Poetry Pamphlet series, is to begin by stating that it is poetry with a capital P: serious, dense, and, some. . .
Upon completing Albertine Sarrazin's Astragal I was left to wonder why it ever fell from print. Aside from the location, Astragal could pass as the great American novel. Its edginess and rawness capture the angst and desires we all had. . .
When my eyes first crossed the back cover of Fabio Genovesi's novel Live Bait, I was caught by a blurb nestled between accolades, a few words from a reviewer for La Repubblica stating that the novel was, however magically, "[b]eyond. . .

Let's all take a deep breath and step back from the ledges here. Let's try to actually put things in perspective because I am worried that some Wall Streeters are up to their usual tricks of misreporting how things should be benchmarked and overdramatizing things so they can generate some much needed fear driven attention.
First of all, we use the aggregate index to track the WHOLE bond market because anything else is a version of cherry picking. Just like you wouldn't say "stocks are getting slaughtered" just because tech stocks fell a lot. No, you would look at the broad index of stocks and if the index is getting slaughtered then it's fine to say "stocks are getting slaughtered".
So, here's the iShares Bond Aggregate (formerly known as the Lehman Bros Aggregate – now, Lehman bros, there's a "slaughter") on a one year basis and the brutal 2.5% decline:
Pragmatic Capitalism
Yes, it's true. Parts of the bond market have been pretty beat-up. The long bond is down 10-15% depending on your duration. But that's a slice of the overall bond market. When we back up and take the big picture view it becomes pretty clear that the bond "slaughter" hasn't really been anything close to a slaughter, but more like another thing that the media and Wall Street has made a big deal of for no good reason.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation says it plans
to keep a closer eye on millions of doses of pain pills prescribed to injured
workers every year.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1fpqzH1
) reports that the agency will more closely monitor pain pill distribution in
an effort to control skyrocketing costs and rampant prescription drug abuse.
The agency is no longer covering prescriptions for controlled substances
unless the provider enrolls in an automated reporting system designed to
identify possible misuse of opiates.
The Bureau of Workers' Compensation - a state-run insurance program for
injured workers - has paid for more than 188 million doses of narcotics during
the past five years.
Last year the agency paid for 357,970 pain-pill prescriptions to 39,028

I had seen Half Time while it was under construction when I was travelling back and forth to some gigs in Poughkeepsie, and had assumed that it was going to be just another macro-swill retailer. Yea, even driving by it now, you'll see all the usual banners in the windows for Bud, Coors, et al.
Don't let this discourage you from stopping in! Yes, they do carry macros, but that's just maybe 1/4 of the floor space. The rest is devoted to scads of beers from around the world. The store is clean, the shelves are very well-stocked, the bottles themselves are not dusty, like you're apt to find in your local beverage distributor. The folks there know their stuff, too, and they're polite and friendly to everyone (even the guy who came in to buy a can of Coors Light right after me!)
Thet also carry a small selection of proper glassware for beer, and they have various sized bottles and growlers for "Take-out"from the 12 rotating taps.
Beer Heaven? If not, then at least pretty close to it...

What they said. A beer fan walking into this store feels like a roller coaster fan walking into Cedar Point for the first time. It takes a few minutes to get over being awestruck to decide where to begin. American micros? British? Belgium? I thought I was gonna pull a Kramden and start going "hamena-hamena-hamena..."
East side of Rte 9, 4 miles south of Poughkeepsie. Can't miss it. Great selection, including many "never saw THAT before!" brews and vintage English ales. It's laid out like a supermarket for easy shopping. Service is first class, plenty of cold micros, twelve taps for growler fills, 10 oz. sample growlers, singles and six packs... incredible. Simply the best beer store I've been to.
Many thanks to shiredave for the beer talk and pointing out some of the more unusual brews. What I didn't pick up this time, I will next time. And the time after that.

There's almost no point to adding a review since other BAs have said it better and sooner, but this is obviously a store to be reckoned with. The 12 taps for growler take-out is only part of the draw; hundreds and hundreds of craft beers in bottles will keep you occupied for hours. Roaming the aisles is a true pleasure, they have tons of stuff and it's all well-kept and well-displayed. Grab a cart on the way in, you will definitely need it. I only got a fraction of what I was interested in and still left with a ridiculous amount of beer. Prices seemed a little high to me, but hey when you're the best you can charge a little extra. Service was great, everyone was helpful and friendly (especially when they rung up my huge bill) and they let me pick out a rare glass to take home for free (I got a really good one and no I'm not telling what it is). It's a hike for me, but well worth it. Lets hope they start a franchise - lower Westchester county is aching for a store like this.

A store with an excellent beer selection with an unusually knowledgable staff. What really sets them apart, though, is the selection of 12 beers on tap, available for purchase in growlers (both half and full gallon).
On my visit there they had Rogue I2PA, a near impossible find on the East coast, and well worth a detour. Whether this concept is picked up by other retailers is unlikely, but one can hope!
All in all, one of the best beer stores I've ever been in.

In my search for Arrogant Bastard, I asked my fellow BA's for help in this search. All fingers pointed towards heaven, who knew it was only 20 minutes away from me. All I have to say about it is WOW. I have seen the holy land of the Beer Gods and it is called Half Time. As everyone else has said there is great service. With in 2 minutes of me stepping in the door someone was there asking if I needed help. Indeed, I did need help he had to get me back out side cause I felt faint needed some fresh air. That place was woooo what a place. The person who pointed me in the right direction was helpful both in telling me what he prefered to drink and which ones I wanted and could not find. You can mix and match any beer in the store which was cool. The 10 taps they had, oh what a delightful sight, great beer too. What a selection, unfortunately I went there to get me self some Arrogant Bastard and they did not have any yet but will be getting some soon. Regardless of that I still managed to make some excellent purchases( $85 dollars worth) All well spent. All I have to say is that I have seen the light and it is wonderful. I will be making this trip many many many times. If you're passing by or live near by just stop to look, oh what a sight.

Believe it. Believe everything everyone else has said about this place. Over 1,000 beers to choose from in every form imaginable: case, bottle, keg, jug... they'd probably put a great craft brew in a plastic bag if you wanted it!
But seriously, this is by far the best selection I've ever seen or heard of, for that matter. I won't attempt to describe the selection because its anything and everything, with the vast majority of it being quality imports and regional american brews. My advice is too peek in the corners, because hidden behind or among the many places and spaces you're likely to find a Thomas Hardy Ale that someone forgot about, or that they migth just have. Also, ASK QUESTIONS. the service is friendly, they'll find anything or explain anything. And if you buy enough stuff (i got $120 worth of stuff for 4 people), they'll throw in a free belgian goblet and a british pint. (or at least i got some...)
I went in on a Wednesday afternoon, after a 40 min. drive to get there, and had the whole place to myself. And it took me an hour to make any semblance of a decision. POUGHKEEPSIE, NY - who would have guessed?

If this is what heaven looks like I'll end it all today in isle three between the Belgian abbey's and German doppel bocks.
This place is awesome. Has the best selection of beer I have and probably will ever see under one roof. In all sections and styles seemed to go deeper than you average warehouse liquor store, with more beers and new ones I had never seen. And the service was great, I was helped by Dave K and he gave me great recomendations and taught me alot in the 10 or 15 minutes we talked about the different characteristics and nuances of certain beer's.
It even has 12 beers on tap that you can have bottled and take home. I tried a 3 Floyds Alphs Klaus Porter in a 10oz bottle and drank it in the car cause I couldn't wait to get home. It was fantastic.
If you are ever driving through NY on interstate 84 get off at Rt 9 in Fishkill and go north about 15 minutes and it's on the right. Totally worth the deviation from your trip. Or just drive there for the trip it's worth it.
I only spent $55 but I could have easily spent $200. For me I'm luck I drive by this for work 3-4 times a month because it's in my sales territory, so no need to over do it on this first of many visit's.

first of all, the service was excellent. from the phone call before my 2 hour and 40 minute round trip, (speeding like crazy) to the guys helping me locate and select anything i needed.
the selection is absolutely amazing. they have 8 oz bottles up to collector's edition vintage 2000 Duvel in 3 Liter magnums. cases and sixers. best of all, they will let you take any single bottle you desire which is wonderful for the beer sampler. i spent quite some time in the store looking around, and i only found one thing to be bad. there is so much i wanted, i passed on a lot to save $ for others, and i ended up with 6 beers in an hour. then i decided to just go for it. upon leaving, i had about two cases, mostly 12 oz bottles with a bunch of pints, imperial pints, and 750 mls. total came to a little over $120. believe you me, you could spend about $500 - $750 without covering everything you want.
I've made 2 trips now, and after my second trip costing around $150, I am only starting to get through their 1000 beer selection.
if you are within any distance, GET THERE! i promise you will not be disappointed.

It's true, it's true everything written in previous BA reviews is true. The selection and variety of singles is incredible. I traveled 3 1/2 hours and 169 miles round trip and i'll do it again. My only complaint is i went a week to early. Starting next week they will begin a monthly " meet the brewer series" first up is Victory. They'll have samples and an opportunity to ask questions. I only spent $78 but could have been much more, they have kegs of Allagash Grand Cru and Dogfish head WWS waiting to come on tap for sale in 10oz., 1/2 and full gallon growlers. The sevice was fantastic and knowledgeable. The manager gave me a free Wagner Valley pint glass for traveling so far.

I don't want to beat a dead horse...... but I will - This is by far the best place I have ever been. I don't mean beer place, I mean place, period. I work in Westchester County, NY and live in Fairfield County, CT so this trip on the way home from work entailed 2 1/2 hours of drive time - no problem and I will do it again. It is spotless, new, well organized and huge. There are people replacing singles in the fridge minutes after they have been purchased. The aisles are laid out by region, and it is incredible to see an entire aisle of USA micros (Belgian, German, English, Czech, etc. all well represented). I went there with certain beers in mind, and literally every one was there. I figured on being there for twenty minutes, but it ended up being 1 hour plus. I just began to panic, there is almost too much variety. Here's what I came away with:
Westmalle Triple x 1
Celebrator Doppelbock x 1
Rogue Imperial Stout x 2
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout x 6
Magic Hat Humble Patience x 3
Dogfish World Wide Stout x 1
Dogfish Shelter Pale Ale x 4
Ommegang Rare Vos 750 x 1
Rogue Shakespeare Stout 22 x 1
Brooklyn East India Pale Ale x 2
Anderson Valley Hop Ottin IPA x 1
Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout x 1
Pilsner Urquell x 6
Victory Storm King Stout x 6
All this for under $80. Not bad for a store of this quality.
I purposely didn't even go near the growlers and taps because I wanted to save it for next time.
It is great to see a beer store take pride in their craft and to treat their product with the same reverence as specialty wine stores. I only wish everyone could have a store like this within a few hours drive.

My hometown doesn't mess around when it comes to exacting swift and stiff justice. It's also protective of its daughters and sons.

It's so rare that my family still remembers details of one from the 1960s. That's why the death of 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman in 1999 was and still is a big deal.

Appeals court rules in favor of fired Oklahoma police officer
BY RHETT MORGAN, TULSA WORLD | Published: Tue, Apr 15, 2014
A veteran Owasso police officer fired in 2011 because he violated the department's use-of-force policy has won an appeal that asked the city to enforce an arbitrator's decision to reinstate him. In a decision filed Tuesday, the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals reversed a January 2013 Tulsa County decision by Associate District Judge Dana Kuehn, who found that reinstating Mike Denton would pose "a special risk of injury, physical and psychological, to citizens and, if he is allowed reinstatement, the department will be faced with explaining why Owasso allows abusive conduct by its officers, which is against the law." Presiding Judge Larry Joplin wrote the majority opinion for the appellate court. Judge Robert Bell concurred and William C. Hetherington Jr. dissented.

...were one of the things I found interesting in the movie. It must be the only time(?) we see street level action on Earth in this time period. I'm ready to be proved wrong in many ways there.
Anyways, there seemed to be metal strips running along the road from what I remember. I took it as a way that cars can drive themselves using these special roads if the driver wasn't interested in doing it themselves.
Maybe there's more detail out there I could look up?
I think the only actual metal-looking strip was along the side of the road for the trolley car line. There were also some slightly futuristic-styled crosswalk markings, but otherwise the street seemed fairly conventional. That doesn't mean it couldn't have technology embedded beneath it though.
Besides, I would hope two hundred and fifty years in the future they wouldn't have less advanced driverless technology than the
Google driverless cars
that are being authorized for testing on public roads today.
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
