The phosphorescent indoor landscape at Monster Mini Golf immerses putters in an eerie universe that inverts the sun-soaked cheer of conventional courses. Rimmed in glowing green barriers, 18 holes lure swingers of all sizes to challenge their coordination and resolve in the face of winged monsters, scowling animated trees, a creepy clown, and their opponents' shockingly dazzling smiles. Sheltered from searing rain and howling wind, the indoor course enables play around hazards such as a spell well and luminous, ghostly windmill at any time of the year. An in-house radio station and DJ mask the sound of pounding hearts with lively beats and course commentary, and golfers looking for additional glory can win prizes by participating in regular contests or at the on-site arcade.
An electrifying array of games, golf, and high-speed competition cater to adrenaline aficionados of all ages at Malibu Grand Prix's bustling amusement center. Lead-footed motorists can experience unlimited access to Malibu's high-performance go-karts, zipping around hairpin turns, picking up speed on straightaways, and flying over banked curves with a passenger in tow aboard Malibu's safe and speedy four-wheeled chariots. Like the violent water warfare portrayed in Monet's Water Lilies, aqueous enthusiasts can hop aboard bumper boats to execute broadside collisions or blasts from the onboard water cannon to drench dry loved ones. A variety of electronic entertainment populates the game room, while the thoughtful, zen-like meditation that is miniature golf makes for a relaxing way to cap off an afternoon of speed.
After being ranked 19th on Golfweek's "Best New Courses" list in 2011, the course at Vaaler Creek Golf Club has been stacking up acolytes for its challenging play and picturesque Texas Hill Country setting. The Michael Lowry and JR Newman design stretches through oak forests as well as rocky outcroppings, encountering water on nine holes. Throughout each round, players steer new E-Z-GO golf carts over Bermuda 419 and TifSport grasses, taking advantage of the carts' automatic braking systems as they stop to smell the flowers or the glorious scent of victory over manual controls.
Though the varied layout presents all manner of challenges, the par 3 12th hole requires a particularly cautious approach. Players must exhibit firm control over iron play as they aim for a peninsula green—discipline that must be then be duplicated four holes later to keep drives dry and on the isthmus fairway. Finally, players round out the round by facing a daunting approach over water, made even more difficult by the tree in the center of the fairway that obstructs flight paths and distracts would-be winners with its self-contained, elf-operated cookie factory.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Total length of 6,864 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 73 from the back tees * Course slope of 140 from the back tees * Four sets of tees per hole * Scorecard
Helmed by former collegiate golfers Gatlyn and Marla McDonald, Birdee's Golf Center fosters club-flailing fortitude with astute instruction and immaculate practice facilities. During each 45-minute lesson, pupils pulverize orbs under the watchful eye of Gatlyn or Marla, who utilize video analysis to comprehensively dissect technique, pinpoint bad habits, and slowly morph unsightly swings into pendulums with the trustworthy tempo and course-readiness of an argyle-clad grandfather clock. The patient pedagogues can also cure chronic cases of the yips at their 5,000-square-foot emerald putting tapestry. Students also learn how to chip and pitch orbs close to each green's flag-marked navel at the short-game range, which features a practice sand bunker. Each large bucket of driving-range balls brims with roughly 110 dimpled spheroids that willfully subject themselves to swing experiments atop the immaculate operating table of synthetic hitting mats.
At Paradise Fun Center, the gurgling waterfalls in two 18-hole mini-golf courses and the rustling of trees in the breeze provide the soundtrack for pleasant, family-friendly outings. Each course is riddled with zigzags, sharp turns, and challenges that don't rely on advanced levitation abilities. Batting cages accommodate fast- and slow-pitch practice, and go-kart racing quenches needs for speed, and a variety of arcade games are available. In between the fun and games, the center keeps energy levels elevated with candy, pizza, nachos, and ice cream at its snack bar, and a picnic area and party room are available for group outings.
River City Range presents golfers with plenty of space to send their golf balls soaring. The multi-faceted operation ensures a well-rounded practice with driving range, putting green, chipping green, and sand trap for well-rounded practice. It's not just about serious golfers, though?River City also entertains the entire the family with mini golf and sand volleyball courts. When visitors finally find the bottom of their range-ball buckets or finish un-shrinking themselves after a round of mini golf, the range's bar awaits with ice-cold domestic, Texas, and Mexican beers, as well as non-alcoholic drinks.

PM to Discuss Hareidi Housing
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will meet Monday with MKs of United Torah Jewry to discuss the issue of housing in the Hareidi sector. UTJ MKs have long complained of a major shortage of housing in Hareidi areas, and Netanyahu will meet with the MKs to discuss some new ideas to solve the issue, said UTJ faction head Yisrael Eichler.
Eichler told Arutz 7 in an interview that "thousands of young couples do not have a roof over their heads. I am hopeful that the meeting will lead to an immediate solution."

Rob Ford on CNN: 'No phoniness' in me
Mayor talks to Bill Weir, who finds he has the 'impulse control of a young boy.'
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Mayor Rob Ford was called a "crack-smoking mayor," "poster child of bad behaviour," "most controversial politician" and "political outcast" on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 show Monday night.
However, in a taped interview set at the Toronto Community Housing project on Queen's Plate Dr., Ford told CNN reporter Bill Weir he was just a "normal" guy and denied he lied about his cocaine use.
"I made mistakes, I drank too much, I smoke some crack sometime. What can I say? I made a mistake, I'm human. I'm only human. I'm not saying it's right. It is absolutely wrong what I did," Ford said during a 16-minute segment headlining the one-hour show. "But I'm moving on."
Weir was invited to Toronto by the mayor's brother, Doug Ford, to give American viewers a different perspective of the mayor "at the heart of the Ford Nation" from the ridicule on late night talk shows and satires on Saturday Night Live over the weekend.
"They can make fun of me. The people here, they can say that, you know, they can laugh at me all they want. They don't know Rob Ford," the mayor said in the interview, conducted over the weekend.
"These people know me . . . I'm no-nonsense, there's no phoniness. I am what I am and I'm sincere, right? Am I polished, no I'm not polished."
Weir interviewed residents at the housing complex and noted that the mayor is popular among working-class citizens, most of them visible minorities, despite his crack and alcohol scandals and gaffes.
"He has an impulse control of a young boy. We saw the emotional swing from anger to jocularity. He is real," Weir told Cooper about the often heated interview.
"That's the one thing you can say for this guy. We complain about politicians who are media-managed. They have their personalities surgically extracted. He's the diametric opposite of that. That's why a lot of these people love him."

Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson has confirmed he will be sitting with the away supporters for their Scottish Cup semi-final at Rangers.
Thompson has already urged the SFA to reconsider their choice of venue for next month's tie, although a change of decision still appears highly unlikely.
He told the Dundee Courier: "I will be sitting among our supporters if the match does take place at Ibrox and I would urge as many fans as possible to join me and get behind the team."
Meanwhile, United have appointed David McGrory to the club board as a non-executive director. McGrory is a lifelong Tangerines fan and partner in the corporate team of leading UK commercial law firm Maclay Murray & Spens LLP.

Resident Evil 5 would not be coming to Nintendo's console -- though according the game's producer, Masachika Kawata, a Wii port of RE5 was never a remote possibility. Due to the game's graphical improvements over the previous installment, "The title screen of this couldn't have been done on PS2 or Wii," Kawata explained in a recent GameTrailers interview.
Nintendo fanboys shouldn't be too disheartened by this somewhat brash claim -- in a later, seperate interview with GameTrailers, Jun Takeuchi, yet another producer for the title, said that Capcom would love to continue the Resident Evil franchise on the Wii, though such a reunion is "a couple of years down the road."

Companies including Bonetown, Thrixxx and Utherverse, according to a report on gaming site IGN, are helping sex find its way into games without the help from big publishers or studios and at the same time are creating new ways for players to fulfill fantasies.
Although role-playing developer Bonetown is not new to the adult community, having made deals with Red Light Center for its Utherverse action-adventure platform and incorporating live action via Sugar DVD's content, IGN heralded the company as developers that "are challenging taboo and social convention."
But Bonetown's brazen push also included a unique business strategy. The report pointed out that while most developers take the accepted path of conceiving, prototyping and pitching projects to larger publishers, Bonetown — and most of those interested in making porn — are left entirely on their own for financing and distribution.
"Porn games are doomed to receive Adults Only ratings from the Entertainment Software Rating Board, which automatically bars them from ever appearing on home consoles or handhelds. Likewise digital distribution services like Steam, Direct2Drive, and Apple's App Store will not distribute games they deem to be inappropriate or offensive. Retailers like Amazon and Walmart won't stock their games either," the report said.
Bonetown's creator, Maximus Baptist [a nom de guerre] told IGN that part of his company's plan was to use comedy as a value-added method of making its product more acceptable. "We wanted people to play it and laugh at it and not just sit there alone and jerk off," he said.
Baptist added. "We started in July '05 in the garage of one of my partners. We put together a demo and then got a private investor. We've all been gamers our whole lives and we've all liked porn since junior high. No one's ever tried to put the two together since Leisure Suit Larry or Custer's Revenge, and no one had really succeeded at it. So we wanted to be the first interactive game that has porno in it."
Thrixxx on the other hand aims to arouse.
The Austrian company produces interactive sex simulators based on themes or audience, including gay, lesbian, hentai and go-go dancing. Late last year the company unveiled its XBox Kinect game controller under a storm of interest and controversy.
Thrixxx's Brad Abrams said his player community has generated more than 70,000 items that include everything from movies to poses or models.
Instead of creating life-like avatars that Abrams said sometimes turns players off (termed the "uncanny valley" between animation and realism), Thrixxx opts for creating sensuous poses and allowing players more control over their fantasies.
"Our big thing is not so much visual realism, it's more about getting people to buy into the control experience and be able to control every aspect of the fantasy. If you can't get that control from the game, we've allowed you to modify it with the tools in the game to create what your fantasy is," Abrams said.
The report also said that more women are beginning to embrace the products as porn gaming becomes focused less on the old in-and-out and more on imaginative and impressionistic sex.
Virtual sex site Utherverse has evolved from a 3D Amsterdam Red Light District into a more detailed and interactive user community with a demographic skewed to the female side. The company reported that women make up more than half of the active returning users by virtue of creating a space that allows them to express their sexuality and romance in a non-threatening environment.
Utherverse's Brian Schuster told IGN, "The adult entertainment industry is taking a very healthy turn at this point. It's going from being a visual appeal to the prurient interests of men to being an interactive medium that's much more akin to real world encounters. It's not just about five minutes of watching a video and being done."
The report also pointed out that games like Heavy Rain, Grand Theft Auto IV and God of War 3 have all moved closer to making fully interactive sex scenes that seem so taboo in other settings.
The interaction with sex in video games is changing the culture and how porn is being perceived, according to the report, by making it less of a taboo commodity and more of a healthy pursuit of sexuality.

Variably crosslinked tissue
Image Number 5 for
United States Patent #7918899
Non-glutaraldehyde fixation of an organ or a prosthesis for implantation in a mammal is based upon carbodiimide treatment. A solution containing a sterilizing agent, such as EDC, in combination with a coupling enhancer, such as Sulfo-NHS, and a high concentration of a diamine cross linking agent is used. As a result, only minimal surface reduction occurs during fixation, and the resultant products show a dramatic increase in resistance to calcification.

The near riot on the first night of the Wisconsin State Fair resulted in at least $30,000 in additional West Allis police overtime, city officials estimate.
Although violence didn't erupt after that first night, police had extra patrols in neighborhoods around the fair and took other security measures, including setting up a command post inside State Fair Park for the event's remaining 10 days.
That first night, dozens if not a couple hundred black youths went out of control, first beating each other, then beating whites as they left the fair. They stopped traffic, banged and walked on cars. Some robberies also were reported.
West Allis gets money annually from the fair to help provide year-round security and help with municipal costs associated with having the fair in West Allis, said City Administrator Paul Ziehler. The city and the fair negotiate the amount to go to the city, which is in the second year of a five-year agreement, he said.
The cost of providing services to the fair varies, Ziehler said, but generally the negotiated amount is equitable to both sides. He didn't see a reason to try to reopen negotiations to increase that payment unless this kind of expense recurs year after year.

Thanks for helping mom
I would like to say thank you to Chris and his wife -- sadly my mom's friends did not get their last name -- for the help they gave to my mom and her friends.
My mom and her two friends were out one evening on River Avenue when my mom tripped and fell.
Chris and his wife stopped to ensure she was OK. They not only drove my mom and her two friends to Misericordia Urgent Care, but they also offered to give them money for a taxi home if they didn't have enough.
By the time my mom's friends contacted us and we got to the hospital, these two wonderful people where long gone.
All I can say is thank you so much for taking the time to help my mom and her friends.
My wife and I are truly thankful that such wonderful people as you were there.
I cannot say how grateful we are. Thank you.
-- Deb and Gerald Bazylewski
Do you see
yourself here?
MY son's bike broke while he was riding down the Osborne Street underpass, on the Friday night /Saturday morning of the August long weekend.
Luckily, two young people riding the opposite way witnessed the accident and came to my son's aid. They called 911 and stayed with him until the ambulance arrived.
Also Nicole and her partner stopped to help out.
My son had a severe concussion among other injuries and is alive today because he was wearing a bike helmet. He has no recollection of the events of that night.
If you recognize yourselves as the people who helped him out that night please accept our deepest gratitude. You are truly wonderful people.
-- Loretta Kampeas
Kansas says thank you, Manitoba
LAST week, we travelled from Kansas to visit relatives in Winnipeg.
As we entered the city, we missed an important corner and lost our way.
We found that the term Friendly Manitoba is reality. Searching for help in finding our direction, we turned off the main street and found a shop called Under the Hood. We asked the gentleman there (who we believe to be the owner) for help and he immediately went to the computer, printed out a map and explained where we should go.
As we returned to our car, he called out that if we wanted to wait for 10 minutes he would be going that way and would lead us to the area. He just needed to lock up and then he would be leaving. We decided to wait.
True to his word, he led us through rush hour traffic right into the cul-de-sac we were seeking.
We offered a small monetary thank you, but he would not accept it. So we are sending a public thank you to this Friendly Manitoba.
We are thankful Kansas visitors.

North Korea Nuclear Test and the Hidden Hand of Iran
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vasudevan Sridharan | February 13, 2013 6:34 PM EST
A day after North Korea conducted its third nuclear test sparking worldwide condemnation, rumours of Iranian involvement in the controversial test are beginning to surface.
Experts familiar with the matter allege it is likely that Iranian scientists played a role in Pyongyang's test.
Both North Korea and Iran have been struggling to survive the US-orchestrated sanctions over their contentious nuclear programmes. The sanctions have been crippling their respective economies.
As the western world sternly condemned Pyongyang over the "safe and perfect" nuclear test, speculation has started swirling as to whether Tehran is colluding with North for its nuclear programmes.
Soon after the US, Russia, Japan, and South Korea condemned the test, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ramin Mehmanparast said, "As long as those who give admonition are among nuclear violators, it cannot be expected that a world free of nuclear weapons will be established".
Without expressing a direct censure of the test, Tehran said the world has to reach a point where there are no nuclear weapons. Iran has been accused of developing nuclear weapons, an allegation which the country sternly denies.
Two weeks before the North Korean nuclear test, a US official who is familiar with the matter told the New York Times on condition of anonymity that "it's very possible that the North Koreans are testing for two countries".
North Korea conducted its earlier nuclear tests in 2006 and in 2009. Iranian experts are suspected to have been present at the tests. South Korean media reports earlier said Iranian scientists could have been involved in Pyongyang's failed rocket launch in April last year. Seoul has officially not commented on the issue.
Experts have also previously indicated the frequent presence of North Korean experts at Iran's nuclear sites assisting with the test preparations.
Unverified reports also suggest that Iran's recent satellite launch was possibly coordinated with the Pyongyang's nuclear test. When many countries including the US, Japan and South Korea dubbed the satellite launch as a disguise to Pyongyang's long-range ballistic missile test, Iran "congratulated" the successful launch.
"The most disturbing question is whether the Iranians are using North Korea as a backdoor plan for their own nuclear program. The Iranians didn't carry out a nuclear test in Iran, but they may have done so in North Korea. There is no official information on this... but Iran may have bypassed inspections via North Korea. If true, this is a very worrying development," the coordinator of Bar-Ilan University's Asian Studies Program and a member of BESA Center for Strategic Studies told the Israel-based Jerusalem Post.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Train derails between Winnipeg and Churchill
Few "scratches" only injuries suffered
A Via Rail passenger train heading to Churchill from Winnipeg derailed just over the Saskatchewan border Sunday evening.
Company spokesman Jacques Gagnon confirmed to the Free Press that the derailment occurred at about 6 p.m. Sunday.
It occurred near Togo, Sask., a hamlet just across the border, about 40 kms northwest of Roblin, Man.
Gagnon said "a few scratches" were the only injuries suffered by people aboard. There were seven passengers and about five crew members on the very short train, he said.
"The good news is all the passengers are safe. All the employees are safe," Gagnon said.
Flooding on the rail line caused the derailment, he said.
RCMP and Via Rail staff organized ground transportation to a nearby lodge in Duck Mountain Provincial Park for the night.
Const. David Kisters from the RCMP detachment in Kamsack, Sask., called it "a miracle" that there were no serious injuries.
Several passenger cars were off the tracks, and the front of one car was actually "being held up in the air by the other cars."
RCMP officers had to walk about 1.5 kms down the tracks to get to the train, and then shepherded all passengers and crew back the same way.
According to the Via Rail website, the Winnipeg-Churchill train makes the 1,700-kilometre journey to Churchill in two days.
After leaving Winnipeg, the route swings northwest through Dauphin and then across the Saskatchewan border through Togo to Kamsack before veering back into Manitoba and continuing north.
Updated on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 11:53 PM CDT: Adds new information from RCMP.

Batman: Arkham Knight Preorders Bring Prototype Batmobile, Fighting Style Leaked for Last Game
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Gel Galang | March 13, 2014 3:37 PM EST
With the announcement of Batman: Arkham Knight having made Rocksteady's newest upcoming game finally official, fans of the Arkham series game are already excited for the title. This is especially true since Batman: Arkham Knight has been reported as the final installment of the Arkham series, and one that will feature one of the most ambitious additions to date.
Previously, it was reported that there will be a Batmobile, one that's the size of a regular Xbox 360 game, and hence justifying why Batman: Arkham Knight is geared only towards the next-gen PS4 and Xbox One consoles and the PC.
Part of the new game announcements is the fact that Harley Quinn will be a preorder bonus. Over at the official web site of Batman: Arkham Knight, it was already announced that Harley Quinn will be a preorder bonus. This means that
However, Gearnuke has also spotted an offer over at Walmart, wherein preorders of Batman: Arkham Knight will allow you access to the prototype Batmobile. Apparently, the preorder also includes exclusive gameplay features, Aside from this, the preorder bonus of the Harley Quinn character and four exclusive challenge maps, unique Harley Quinn weapons, gadgets and abilities are also included.
You can check the offer over at Walmart in the link here.
The moves and the baddies for the final game
Whether or not you enjoyed the Batman: Arkham Origins or if you have been a fan of the franchise since its conception, Batman: Arkham Knight is certain shaping up to be a very good anticipated finale to the series.
The drivable Batmobile alone is a feature that has sold the game to a lot of fans before any more details have been revealed, showcasing that Rocksteady is really aiming for a bang with the Arkham series before moving on to their next IP.
So far, there are a few things known about the game, and this includes the interesting changes that the developer will implement regarding the moves and the fighting styles that the caped crusader will have.
Comic Book Movie has compiled a list of these fighting moves and changes. The most interesting of this would have to be the fact the usable surroundings, wherein Batman is said to have the ability to make use of wall structures, break them off, and use it on his enemies.
There will also be a new fighting ability, Weapon Steal, which is pretty explanatory--spot a weapon on the floor or anywhere else, and it seems that even if it's not in your arsenal, you can use it against your opponent.
Other interesting points include the transition for cutscenes to gameplay that now flows more fluidly, and Batman will end his combats with an interesting pose.
Official PlayStation Magazine has also compiled a list of bad guys who will be making an appearance for the finale Batman: Arkham Knight, which are either clues peppered in the previous games or hinted by the developer.
Some of these include Scarecrow, The Penguin and Two-Face (who have been featured in the Arkham Knight trailer), Harley Quinn (confirmed as she is also a playable character that comes in the preorder), The Riddler, The Joker and even a potential Arkham Knight or the "anti-Batman," which could be a shoutout to the installment name.

Help Wanted: Personal Assistant to the President
**Written by Doug Powers
Based on that headline, you might be wondering if Brian Williams is retiring. No, but a different personal assistant — this one based at the White House — is calling it quits.
Reggie Love will be leaving at the end of the year:
Reggie Love, the former Duke basketball player who has been a constant presence by Obama's side since the 2008 presidential campaign, will depart the White House by the end of the year, a person familiar with his decision said.
Love, 30, is the latest in a string of longtime Obama aides to leave the White House this year, including senior adviser David Axelrod, press secretary Robert Gibbs, deputy press secretary Bill Burton and deputy communications director Jen Psaki. All were part of Obama's team since at least since the 2008 race.
If you'd like to try and get the gig, the compensation package is in the neighborhood of $100,000 a year. Frequent meal stops, paid vacations, and freedom from the hassles of commercial airlines are included.
Here's a partial list of job duties for those thinking about applying:
His job requirements have included everything from carrying copies of the president's speeches, his iPod, and a steady supply of gum, newspapers and aspirin, to taking photos for audience members as they shook the president's hand. Wherever the president goes, Love has rarely been more than a few steps behind.
Love was lucky in that in 2008 and 2009 the MSM voluntarily carried Obama's water, so the workload was lightened just a bit. Whether or not the next personal assistant gets the same help remains to be seen.
Apply here. Teleprompter repair and maintenance experience required. Better than average top-of-the-key jumper a plus.

OPINION: This year, a ministerial review to consider the future governance arrangements for Environment Canterbury (ECan) is due to be held. If a report on New Year's Day, quoting some of the region's mayors and a former deputy chairman of ECan, is anything to go by it is no more likely to find consensus on the issue than existed at the time the Government sacked the elected members of the council and appointed commissioners to carry out their functions.
The question of how long the tenure of the appointed commissioners should be does not appear to have been uppermost in the minds of the Government when it got rid of the elected members in March 2010. It promised a return to normal business at the next local body election last year but decided at some point earlier last year to reverse its decision. The earthquakes had intervened in the meantime but the decision was startling nonetheless. While a return to direct elections appeared unlikely, some mixture of directly elected members along with some appointed by the Government would not have been surprising.
That is the method by which district health boards are formed and, it later emerged, it was the method that had been recommended by Dame Margaret Bazley, the highly regarded all-purpose fix-it woman the Government had installed as chair of its commissioners. Most mayors in the region also favoured it. Instead, the Government stuck with the commissioners for another term, promising a review of the situation this year.
The mayors spoken to by The Press this week all prefer a return to a directly elected council, but they also think it should not occur immediately. Their view is scarcely surprising. Many of them were among the strongest critics of the performance of the elected council and had lobbied for its removal. They also believe, however, that the performance of the commissioners has been good and that a return to the status quo as it existed before the elected council's sacking would not be desirable. Former deputy chair woman Jo Kane denounced their view as "extraordinary arrogance" and "showing contempt for democracy". That is unhelpful and an example of the kind of mindless slogan-shouting that induced the Government to step in three years ago.
A return to direct elections is obviously necessary. Bazley is a clever and accomplished woman but her recommendation of a mixture of elected and appointed members, while it has many attractions, would be an unacceptable halfway house. ECan is not a district health board - its responsibilities are far wider and it has the power to set rates, to mention just two things. The question of how the return to direct elections can be engineered therefore requires careful thought. It probably also requires consideration of the whole structure of regional governance in Canterbury.
For although much of the previous ECan's work was sound, a simple return to an elected council at persistent loggerheads with a substantial chunk of its rural constituency and in venomous deadlock around the council table would also be unacceptable.

Acknowledging they were breaking new ground, deeply divided House lawmakers voted Thursday to censure Rep. Charles B. Rangel for breaking tax laws and House rules, saying Congress needed to live up to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's pledge to be open, honest and ethical.
Mrs. Pelosi herself publicly read the censure to the New York Democrat as the 20-term veteran stood before her in the well of the House, becoming just the 23rd member to be censured in House history, and the first person in 27 years.
Among the charges against him were failing to declare rental income on a vacation home in the Dominican Republic and violating the House's solicitation and gift ban.
Mixing sorrow and defiance, Mr. Rangel, a Korean War veteran who is much-beloved by his colleagues, told them he had erred. But he also said the censure was "political" and said he thought the House was unfairly trying to teach lawmakers a lesson by making an example of him.
"I know in my heart I'm not going to be judged by this Congress. But I'm going to be judged by my life, my activities, my contributions to society," Mr. Rangel said afterward, drawing applause from some fellow Democrats, particularly members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
The vote was 333-79 to impose the censure, which carries a severe stigma though no other official loss of privileges.
But the key vote came minutes earlier when a more narrowly divided House voted 267-146 against instead imposing the lesser penalty of a reprimand. Mr. Rangel's support came heavily, though not exclusively, from fellow black lawmakers and liberal Democrats. Three Republicans also voted for a reprimand.
All sides, including Mr. Rangel himself, agreed he transgressed, and House Democrats had earlier pushed Mr. Rangel from his position as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
But on Thursday lawmakers disagreed over how serious the violations were. His backers said he was "sloppy" and "overzealous" but not corrupt or criminal, while those who pushed for censure said the pattern of behavior - his violations ranged from misuse of his office to failing to report taxes - argued for the more severe penalty.
"For precedent to be followed, precedent must be set," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, California Democrat and chairwoman of the House ethics committee that conducted the two-year investigation of Mr. Rangel.
The panel found him guilty of 11 violations, mostly related to his efforts to raise funds for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Policy at City College of New York.
The ethics committee's investigative report, which ran to 5,000 pages, said Mr. Rangel solicited donations using official letterhead from people who had business before the Ways and Means Committee during the time he was the chairman or the ranking Democrat on the panel.
During the hour-long floor debate Mr. Rangel apologized for putting his colleagues in the "awkward position" of sitting in judgment of him, and said he was taking responsibility for his actions. But he said censure was unfair, based on history.
While early censures were issued for insults or inappropriate language in the House, in recent years the penalty has been issued for sexual misconduct with a House page, payroll fraud and improper use of campaign funds.
Transgressions by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Majority Leader Tom DeLay instead drew a reprimand or the even lighter punishment of an admonishment.
"I brought it on myself, but I still believe this body has to be governed by fairness," Mr. Rangel said in a six-minute speech, before turning his defense over to fellow lawmakers.
The debate was one of those rare occasions when there were more lawmakers on the House floor than there were spectators in the public galleries, and his colleagues listened closely.
Lawmakers from across the board spoke in Mr. Rangel's defense, including a New York Republican and fellow Democrats who were members of the Black and Hispanic caucuses.
"He knows he messed up. He knows he'll be punished. We just ask he be punished like anyone else," said Rep. Robert C. Scott, Virginia Democrat.
But Mrs. Pelosi's vow four years ago to clean up the image of Congress hung over the entire proceedings, with Republicans and Democrats saying they felt an obligation to clean up the image of the chamber.
Ethics committee members said Mr. Rangel was uncooperative for much of the investigation, and downright misleading to the public at other times.
Mrs. Pelosi did not vote on either the reprimand or censure votes. The House speaker often does not vote on roll call votes.
Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, voted for both reprimand and censure, while Whip James E. Clyburn, South Carolina Democrat, voted only for reprimand and against censure.
Rep. John A. Boehner of Ohio, the GOP's leader and speaker-designate after Republicans take control in January, and Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the incoming majority leader, both voted against reprimand and in favor of censure.
"This is a sad day for the House of Representatives, and a reminder of the work we have ahead of us to repair the shattered bonds of trust between the people and their government," Mr. Boehner said in a statement afterward.
The censure requires that Mr. Rangel submit proof to the ethics panel that he has paid his tax liabilities.

Kitzhaber: 'Cover Oregon works, the website doesn't'
Send this to a friend

Gov. John Kitzhaber today defended Cover Oregon, saying he's pleased with how things are going overall, despite the many technical problems with the website.
"Cover Oregon works, the website doesn't work," Kitzhaber said during the Business Journal's Power Breakfast today. "We need to keep our eye on the ball. Have there been problems? Absolutely. But the goal was to get people covered."
Kitzhaber noted that 170,000 people signed up for insurance effective Jan. 1, "the majority of whom didn't have coverage nine days ago."
But the governor also acknowledged there have been problems both on the technology front and on the state's part. He said the scale of the Cover Oregon IT project was "clearly beyond" the state's capacity, and there should have been an independent system integrator.
"I didn't know there was a problem until the middle of October and that's very troubling," he said. "When you have a rollout of any big IT system, there are problems. We will continue to have bumps."
Kitzhaber said the state has signed a contract with an outside firm to do an independent assessment of the entire process and what went wrong. Oracle Corp. was charged with building the website, but it hasn't been fully functional since its Oct. 1 debut, and the state is withholding payments to the company until the problems are fixed.
"The external review will look at the whole ball of wax," he said.
Kitzhaber said he's "had a number of contacts with the CEO of Oracle. We talk on a regular basis. They acknowledge they share accountability."
The state is paying $228,000 to Atlanta-based First Data, which is evaluating problematic exchanges in several other states, said Sean Kolmer, the governor's health policy adviser.
