Spring is here! Time to get out and enjoy all that nature has to offer. If you didn't know, April is National Gardening Month, not to mention Earth Month, so a great reason to think about ways to either grow or buy the healthiest and freshest fruits and vegetables for your family.
Here area few thoughts to help you grow into healthier produce.
- Community Garden: Consider participating in a community garden. Through the American Community Garden Association, you can search for gardens in your area. A great opportunity to connect with experience gardeners for advice and beginners for support. If you are not ready to take on an entire plot, perhaps you can find another friend, neighbor or family to share one with and work together.
- Container Gardening: Many fruits and vegetables do well in containers such as strawberries, blueberries, cabbages and cucumbers. Consider picking just one to start with. Our son brought home a small cabbage plant from the school garden and we were amazed at how well it did in a larger container. If you are a city dweller with no access to a backyard, check out the Urban Organic Gardener for advice and tips on how to grow and maintain a garden regardless of the space available.
- Home Garden: Perhaps you do have the space, sunlight and determination to do this at home. While we participated in a community garden last year to get us going, we are gardening at home this year. Review this article from the Helpful Gardener to help you get started and visit the National Gardening Association to view this how-to video on maintaining your garden.
- Herb Garden: Maybe you just need to keep it simple with herbs. Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, basil and oregano are fairly easy to grow and maintain. They can be grown outdoors as well as indoors for year round flavor. And when you are at the end of the season there are several ways to store them for later use, like blending with a little olive oil, and freezing in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, just pop out a cube to spice up dishes later on.
- Farmer's Market: So you are not into or ready for gardening, that's OK. Check out these resources for nearby options to either pick your own or at LocalHarvest.org, to search for the farmer's market closest to you and help keep those food purchases within your local or regional communities.
- CSA or Home Delivered Produce: Community Supported Agriculture otherwise referred to as a CSA, has been around for many years. It's another way to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Simply put, a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to a group of buyers. The share consists of a box of vegetables and maybe other farm products too. Via a membership, buyers purchase a share and in return receive a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. The weekly share may vary, and in some cases you can pick and choose what you would like in your box as well as have a home delivery option.
- Organic Produce: If growing anything is difficult for whatever reason and a farmer's market or CSA is not an option, take a closer look at the produce at your grocery store and especially at those sticky labels which will tell you if the produce was grown in a conventional or organic manner, or if has been genetically modified. Download this shopper's guide from the Environmental Working Group – The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 which will advise you on what produce is best to buy organic. And keep an eye on where the produce comes from too. USA or Chile? More regionally located or from the other side of the country? Sometimes there is no choice, but sometimes there is, and something to keep in mind.
However you choose to grow, it's all good for your body, soul and world around you.
Happy Spring!

Wilder relieved to get win
Oxford manager Chris Wilder feels his side's opening win of the season against Morecambe was long overdue.The U's had drawn three and lost one of their previous four league games following promotion and Wilder believes his side had not got the results their performances had deserved prior to their 4-0 triumph over the weekend.Wilder said: "We've been knocking on the door this last month. It's great for everybody to get that first win done and dusted."We know that in this league we have to play well and when we play well we have to win - that's the bottom line."I think we've played well on numerous occasions already this season and not got the result, but it's no good me saying to everyone that we're doing alright."Everybody looks in the papers and on the TV and sees where the table is and we had to marry the result with the performance. I think that we've done that."

The Gulf War has very much been on people's minds here in Sepang this weekend, and signs at the entry to the circuit on race day bore the message 'Malaysia for Peace' to back up a similar campaign in the region's influential New Straits Times all through the week.
Minardi team boss Paul Stoddart also embraced the ideas, and on race morning the PS03s were adorned with the 'Malaysia for Peace' logos after Stoddart had run the idea by Bernie Ecclestone having failed to establish contact with Max Mosley.
"Malaysia is looking to give a message to the world," Stoddart said. "This is a message from Malaysia. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and this should not be mistaken from a statement by anyone at Minardi or in Formula One about being anti-war."
Mosley said: "Formula One is a generally international sport welcomed by a wide range of cultures around the world. Our sport has nothing whatsoever to do with the conflict in Iraq and the FIA fully supports the local organisers of the Malaysian Grand Prix in running this event in the usual way."
Some factions at the meeting tried to organise petitions to have the usual jet fighter plane displays cancelled, and further peace demonstrations are expected.

Great hike. Cold on top with constant 30 mph winds, but what can you expect for a November hike at 11,500 ft? No snow on trail, but the next weekend SanG got a big dump. Since daylight hours are short in November, we left 30 minutes before sunrise and got back at sunset. | ||

The wind stole a beanie from a person's head in our group. Extremely windy on the summit that I could barely hear anything but the wind. Snow present. Crampons and ice ax not used. Trekking poles were sufficient (for me). | ||

It was an extremely dry year, there was no water any where on the mountain. But it was a great trip none the less. I had been to the summit as an eleven year old in boy scouts over 30 years earlier. It was great to be back. My younger brother, who's first real hike was less than a year before, was definitely setting our somewhat fast pace. We carried tent, stove and sleeping bags, spent one night at Shields Flat. Next visit will be up & down Vivian Creek as a day hike... maybe in the snow! | ||

Luke Tipton, Bob Cable, Joel Koury and I hiked up the Vivian Creek trail with our alpine ski gear on our backs. We summited @ 2 p.m. and skied down the "big bowl" on the north slope until the snow was gone. We hiked out on the lower portion of the "poopout hill" trail where we had left a car early that morning. An excellent hill to ski. | ||

Carried crampons but were not really needed on this day. Didn't take an ice axe, just poles. Poles were very handy on the icy sections of the trail. Although the local forecast was calling for rain/snow, we lucked out and the storm system didn't make it to the San Gorgonio wilderness area yesterday. Got to the summit around 2:45pm and waited for mdostby who got there minutes later. We had an interesting time taking summit pictures in the 40mph winds to 60mph gusts there. Summit was very windy and chilly. My Gore-Tex jacket actually worked as a wind-resistant garment. | ||

My son and I made a 2 day camping trip of this climb, spending the night at "Half Way" camp. The Vivian Creek Trail has to be one of the most scenic hikes in Southen California. I would recomend taking time to soak it all in. We met a British climber and his American partner on the summit. He spoke of Kilimanjaro and Fuji. It was great! | ||

Brian Johnson, Rich Henke and I skied the Gorgonio Divide (San Gorgonio the long way) in February of 1995. We left Angeles Oaks at 8am on Saturday and had excellent snow for the 5,000 ft climb to the crest. From there we skied over summits of San Bernandino, San Bernandino East, Anderson, Shields (where we slept), Charlton, little Charlton, Jepson and San Gorgonio. From the Gorgonio summit we skied the east most gully down to Dry Lake. We reached our car at Jenks Lake parking lot on Sunday at 3:00PM. There are very few multiday ski tours in Southern California. This one is the best! I often wonder, has anyone skied this since 1994? | ||

In February of 86, I remember Miguel calling me mid week , saying since it rained in LA about an inch and temperatures are staying low, we better try to Randonee ski up Gorgonio. We slept at the parking lot at Poopout Hill Friday night and at 05:30 Saturday morning got going. On the summit ridge we encountered heavy winds and temperature of +5 F. The snow was incredible powder. We skied the North Face about 100 feet apart, fearing avalanches and in 25 minutes, descended all the way down. I will never,ever forget that ski run. The powder was knee to waist deep! You would never believe such a powder could ever be found in Southern California. This was a long day, 6,000+ feet of gain and 25 miles RT. | ||

This was an incredible hike! I feel like a whimp after reading all the other summit logs. It took me 9 hours to reach the summit with breaks for filtering water at Vivian Creek and High Creek. Maybe because I was carrying a 35 pound pack? I had some pretty bad altitude sickness about a mile from the summit, and climbed in my tent as soon as we set up camp. I could barely eat when my fellow backpackers brought me dinner. While some of the backpackers did not feel sick when they reached the summit, by midnight each of the 7 of us had felt nauseous and had splitting headaches. Everyone felt fine by morning and were ready to make the trek back down the mountain. My feet were very sore by the time we reached the last set of very steep and rocky switchbacks. The sunset and sunrise were the most incredible I have ever seen. | ||

Day 2 of my SoCal County Highpoint Tour. A very long hike! 4hr15m to the summit, 2hr15m return, back at the car at 1:15p. I then drove to the Palms Springs Aerial Tramway with the intent of climbing San Jacinto in the afternoon. But the tram was closed for maintainance. Darn. I'll plan to climb San Jacinto tomorrow by the long way. | ||

A beautiful hike, but a good challenge to do in a day. We left the car at 7:45 AM. 6 hours to the summit and 4.25 hours back down, with 1/2 hour enjoying the views, sunshine on the summit with the mass of other hikers up for the weekend. The trec up the canyon wall at mill creek at the begining will get your blood pumping and at the end on a long day - it is a bit rough on the legs going down. Temps were warm at the summit - probably high seventies. Drank about 3.5 litres of water, but probably more would have been better as I was a bit dehydrated at the bottom. Wore light trail shoes which were fine, with a day pack. | ||

The New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) facility at 68th Street is one of New York City's largest single natural gas and electricity consumers. NYPH has the opportunity to protect itself against retail energy price volatility, drive down the overall emissions of controlled pollutants, more reliably continue operations in the event of a Con Edison blackout condition, and save approximately $4.6 million annually. With the addition of a CHP facility in the existing chiller plant, NYPH can realize these benefits. The facility will use a combustor turbine to turn a generator. Exhaust gases will be captured to create steam, relieving the need to generate as much steam in the existing boilers, while the hospital reduces its incoming power purchases. The system will operate year round and will have a useful life of more than 20 years. The project, budgeted at $25 million, will be the first to interconnect to the Con Edison transmission grid in Manhattan and operate in synchronicity. |

The daughter of Dubawi was a stunning winner of the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last June and was subsequently placed in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh and the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket.
Trainer Charlie Hills had been looking forward to seeing his filly return in the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier this month, but she was ruled out the day before the race after she was found to be lame .
Hills said: "The latest with Kiyoshi is she cantered this morning and we were very happy with her.
"At this stage we are still planning to run in the Irish Guineas (May 25). We have been happy with her progress, but we will make a final decision nearer the time.
"Everyone will have to be 110 per cent happy with her if she is going to run at Curragh and there is obviously the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (June 20) if we feel we need more time."

Painful Nursing Baby with Teeth
My 11 month old got her top teeth in the last month. Since then she has bitten me a couple of times on the same breast. It has become so sore in the last few weeks, it almost brings tears to nurse on that side. Also almost draws blood. I hadn't planned to wean her yet. Suggestions on how to heal the (what feels like internal bruising) and resume in a less painful way?

OK, I just can NOT take reading this myth anymore!
FACT: BREASTMILK IS FULL OF NUTRITION AFTER THE FIRST YEAR!!!!!!! Plain and simple!
Honey, you can try the nipple shields at BabiesRUs or Target while you're healing. Put your breastmilk on the broken skin, allow it to air dry. Also, you may use Lansinoh. Cold packs are nice, too. Someone said something about pumping, this isn't a bad idea, for a few times in a row rather than placing her on THAT breast you may like to pump and keep her on the OTHER breast.
AVOID CABBAGE unless you desire for your milk supply to dry up.
In general, babies only bite when they're done nursing (the session not for life)or if their gums hurt--they are not trying to be naughty. You will have success if you follow the advice of the several women prior who've told you to FIRMLY tell your wee one "NO!", hold your gaze for a good 10 seconds, put her down until your sure she's clear, then offer the other side.
Remember that whatever you consume your child will get, if you're eating good wholesome food it will be added to your milk, if you're also using supplements (I HIGHLY suggest doing that) it will be added to your milk, your milk has fats and amino acids specific to the two of you, and if you're body senses illness in your child your body will boost antibodies--though your child has her own immune system to rely upon, but any help is good...so ignore people who tell you there is no value to your breastmilk; it is absolutely UNTRUE!!
If you decide to end your breastfeeding relationship with your baby, you HAVE given her a great start at life and in America you've given her a substancially larger advantage than the average mother (which is approx. 3 months). At this point in her life her body is beginning to be able to process food to actually retreive nutrition from it...this ability solidifies after the first year.
Be assured your baby will NOT always bite you!

just a quick note--- breastmilk is the best thing for kids nutritionally. it is NOT less nutritious after year 1. sorry you were given some misinformation. also, red cabbage leaves are for pain and green are for engorgement, which is probably why they helped the one lady with weaning. using the red cabbage leaves will help with the pain. also, when my son got teeth (only a few months ago), i had to kinda "re-learn" nursing so that it would be better. You may want to contact your local LLL leader-- it was nice for me to get some advice and help on different nursing-- bc as i'm sure you've noticed, nursing a newborn is A LOT different than nursing an 11mo old. good luck!
D.K. answers from Denver on August 19, 2008
The being firm with NO BITE is a miracle worker.
She at the year mark is at an age if you wanted to stop nursing she will be getting her nutrition from an outside source. If she continues I would consider weaning if it is to the point of that much pain.
I think that can be a sign they are ready to stop anyway. Start giving her a sippy with breast milk instead for another month or so then you can graduate to milk and a lot more solids. Yes, breast milk is great but to be honest at her age she will be fine without it!!! Both of my kids weaned early and are VERY HEALTHY AND SMART!
If you do not want to stop the breast milk try giving her it to her in another form like a sippy or strawed cup. A child should be eating real food by the year mark and getting what they need from that. If they are good eaters she will get what she needs out of solids after a year.
A.R. answers from Salt Lake City on August 19, 2008
My last baby bit me and it got infected and turned into mastitis. If it feels like internal bruising, I would talk to a Doctor. Mastitis is HORRIBLE! Get checked to make sure it hasn't turned into that and then, if she bites, stop nursing that time. After a while she will realize if she bites she wont get fed, and babies know when to eat, she won't let herself starve. Good luck
L.D. answers from Denver on August 19, 2008
It could be time to stop nursing. This is going to sound ridiculous but I had a similar issue and my grandmother told me to put cabbage leaves in my bra. It also helped enormously when I was weaning both my kids. I know it sounds stupid and I wouldn't do it outside of the house but it felt so much better. Keep the cabbage in the fridge, the colder the better. Weird but it worked for me.
C.A. answers from Denver on August 19, 2008
I went through this same thing as well when my daughter was 9 months old and cutting the top teeth. It hurt and she did draw blood. We both cried and I was so worried that this was going to be the end of our nursing. My nipples were very sore, especially the one side that she seemed to chomp on the most. I tried telling her sternly, NO, but that really didn't work consistently. What really seemed to work was hugging her tight into my breast (basically cramming her face into it) so she had to release me to breathe. At the same time I calmly told her "No, no biting" and ended the nursing session at least for a little bit. It worked without allowing the teeth to scrape my tender skin and she wasn't totally freaked out about it at the same time. It only took a few times as well. in the meantime, I was very careful and watchful. Everytime it looked like she was going to bite (no tongue in place to create suction), I pulled her to me and said no.
Don't worry, you will be able to continue nursing AND relax while doing it in a very short while (even though it doesn't seem like it now).
Oh, as for healing, I constantly applied the nipple cream for the few short days it took to heal - and gritted my teeth through the pain otherwise :-)
And an additional note, my daughter still tests me. every once in awhile she may give me a little nibble. Usually it means she isn't hungry and we just end it there and don't push things. Just nurse at a later time. So after she learns not to bite, still pay attention!
K.D. answers from Salt Lake City on August 18, 2008
My baby got teeth at 3 months and I nursed her until she was 13-months (by then, she had a mouthful of teeth). She bit me a few times, even drawing blood a few times, and the only thing that worked was involuntary screaming on my part, a harsh "NO!" and then ending the feeding. She would cry, but she stopped biting. I would even end the nursing session if she even started to "chew" a little bit.
I've heard cabbage leaves are good for healing, but I'm not sure if it will work for internal bruising. And I think you'll just have to nurse through the pain. Sorry I couldn't be of more help in that area.
D.T. answers from Denver on August 19, 2008
Both of mine started getting teeth before 6 months and pretty much the same thing happened with both. They bit I screamed and nearly dropped them and the second time, I reacted strongly and said NO! and they didn't do it again. My daughter, a precocious child, would look up at me while nursing to see if I was looking, and would very carefully and delibrately, bite gently, I would give an exaggerated jump and say no and she would smile and go back to nursing. She was just checking to see it I was paying attention or if it was still not OK. Little ones can be smarter and more aware than you think, so let the baby know it's not ok - in an appropriate way, they'll "get it".
Crushed mullen leaf may help you heal, apply like a poltice. It reduces swelling and bruising - just wash well before you nurse.

Jim Mora came to UCLA known as a hothead prone to bouts of spontaneous verbal combustion.
An out-of-town colleague put it to me this way: "You know he's crazy, right?"
Mora lived up to the reputation by screaming at assistant coaches and midlevel staffers. He did not always wait to take it behind closed doors.
He has confronted the local media in seemingly petty and petulant ways.
So when Mora stormed out of a news conference Monday after an NBC technician's cellphone conversation disrupted the session, it might have seemed like the same old Jim.
But it wasn't.
The Mora in this straight-to-viral video revealed more a man fully engaged in his occupation as head coach of a big-city football corporation.
Having spent time with the grieving family of a UCLA player who died after being struck by a vehicle over the weekend, Mora was in no mood for extraneous chitchat.
"Shut up," Mora demanded.
Mora had every right to get mad and every right to get up and leave. But he also later called the UCLA beat reporters and told them he'd be available on the field.
This ranks as one of the tougher emotional weeks in UCLA history as the team prepares for Saturday's tough trip to Nebraska.
The Bruins are looking at Mora for direction, and he has increasingly shown the ability to galvanize. The veins popping from his forehead now spell out "U-C-L-A."
Being a good head coach is so, So, SO much more than Xs and O's, a fact lost on many athletic directors who end up losing lots of games and millions of dollars.
USC once hired an offensive "genius" in Paul Hackett who might not have been able to lead bees to honey. Conversely, Bobby Bowden was stupendously successful at Florida State, yet his assistants refused to let him wear headsets on the sidelines.
Many coaches fall between the margins, and it's too early to say where Mora is on the spectrum.
John Robinson knew offense and the running game but was also, in his best years with USC and the Rams, a provocateur of public relations.
Mack Brown is a Robinson type who has somehow survived 15 years in Austin by closing off the Texas recruiting border while running football like the head of a Fortune 500 company. And man, under Brown, has Texas football made a fortune.
Is Brown a great coach? There is no doubt. The 151-44 record spells it out. Yet his resolve is being tested.
Saturday's home game against Mississippi ranks as one of the most important in Brown's tenure. Brown had to put on big-boy pants Sunday and fire defensive coordinator Manny Diaz two games into the season.
Head coaches have to make hard decisions — and when they need to be made.

There are people who just love to play casino games simply because they have been used to it, and now that there's casino games available online, they are becoming more energetic to start playing again. The days when people have to wait for their vacation before they can play casino games are already gone. Some even have to go through the arduous process of booking a flight towards their favorite city just to play the entertaining casino games.
Players can enjoy playing in an online casino because there are a lot of selections which they can choose from. But before you go and try the casino game, it is important to know that there are some restrictions that must be adhered to. For instance, not all of the kids can play casino online. Effective to both online and offline casino games, the age requirement for players would be 21 years old and above.
As to why people are becoming attracted to play online casino games is provided with a good number of answers in the paragraphs following.
Online Casino Games Are Entirely Free
The most attractive and appealing of all the advantages of casino games online is that they allow eligible players to play all they want without needing to pay a charge or a fee to the website where the games are made available. While there are some websites which might charge a fee to players online, the amount would definitely be much lower compared to what offline players should pay to the community casinos.
Online Casino Games Offer a Lot of Variations
Basically, people tend to become attractive over a certain thing if it provides more number of options to select and this is actually what white label casino games are offering to avid players. With online casinos, there are certain games which are considered as specialty for a certain place or country. In many websites today, the original games now come with lots of versions that also offer their own features although similar to the original one. This only shows that more are available in the online world of gaming.
Online Casino Games Take Less from You
Casino games are not like the other games which can cost much from the pocket of players, so they can invest their assets for a more profitable thing. Before, there is a need for you to take some amount of money from your pocket to be able to go to another place where casino games are available. But now, there is no need for you to do that. But with the online casino games which are available online, you can keep your money untouched while enjoying the free fun roulette games during your free time.

"That's Mohammed!" she screamed. "He was in here Thursday." Not only had Atta been in there five days before the attack, he had called in an order once per week for the past three weeks. He used his own name to place the orders. "He always ordered six veggie specials on wheat, and he always wanted them cut into quarters," she said. It was apparent that Atta had been holding meetings of cell members somewhere nearby in the weeks before the attack.
Alicia said on the previous Thursday Atta had picked up the sandwiches with another man who told her he was a pilot. No other journalist had found these girls. In fact the FBI hadn't been there yet.
Most of the time during "The Tracking of the Terrorists," reporters were simply reacting to FBI sightings. The feds showed up somewhere, and before long the locust media swept in. Apartments, condos, motels, flight schools, libraries in Broward -- where the villains availed themselves of free e-mail service. In many of these venues, the FBI had asked or ordered individuals not to talk.
But at World Gym in Boynton Beach, where three of the hijackers had trained, Joe Farnoly, a personal trainer, talked to me about the men. He gave me what he had just repeated for two camera crews: how they showed up several mornings per week; how they never spoke to anyone else and simply smiled whenever he said hello. When I asked him what machines they had used, he took me to one section of the gym and told me something he hadn't told TV: "They never used anything but the upper body machines. They didn't do anything cardiovascular, or for the legs. They were getting ready to overpower people on those planes. That's why they were here."
I spent two days showing photos of the hijackers to hookers in Hollywood. I figured if young men who were about to commit suicide had done some drinking that Friday, maybe they had also gone looking for love. One lady working the east side of U.S. 1 said Alshehhi looked familiar, but she was too strung out to stake a story on.
Meanwhile the Newsweek research desk had found a possible Hollywood address for Alshehhi in 1999. The spelling of the last name was very close. The landlord told me a woman of Pakistani descent had rented the place and lived with a man who matched the description of Alshehhi. Her name was Anita. I traced her to another apartment less than a mile away, called the manager of that building, and was told that, yes, she still lived there.
That evening I waited for her to arrive from work. I asked a neighbor, but she didn't know when Anita might get home. I sat in my car in the small parking lot as night fell. At about 9:00 a gold Toyota matching the description I had of hers pulled into the lot. I could see a woman behind the wheel. She started to park near me but stopped, then backed up and wheeled off quickly down the street. The manager had obviously called to tell her a journalist was looking for her, and she didn't want any part of me.
I waited awhile longer to see if she returned. She didn't. So I drove back to Miami and returned the next day at 7:30 a.m. When she didn't emerge from the house by 9:00 a.m., I knocked on the door. After a minute a heavyset, bleary-eyed woman in her thirties answered. Her looks were clearly Middle Eastern, although she spoke English without a foreign accent. I introduced myself. We talked and within a few minutes she had convinced me that she didn't know Marwan Alshehhi, or any other hijacker. "Are you the one who was waiting last night?" she asked.
I said I was.
"Well, I'll tell you something," she said. "You made me cry all night."
I apologized.
"You don't know what it's like to be me these days," she said touching her face. "To look the way I do. It's very scary. I was raised here and educated here. I'm an American. I'm not a terrorist. Now my landlord and my neighbor are wondering why you're looking for me." She shook her head. "This isn't fair."
I apologized again and said I hoped it all passed over soon. Then I drove back to Miami and a day later I stopped tracking terrorists.

Man charged over Barrow Island gun drama
Last updated at 10:00, Thursday, 28 February 2013
A BARROW man has been charged with weapon and drug offences following a dramatic incident on Barrow Island on Monday night.
Paul McAllister, 45, of Adelphi Court, has now been charged with possession of a bladed article and possession of cannabis.
He appeared in Furness Magistrates' Court today and was remanded to reappear in Preston Crown Court in May.
At 9.10pm on Monday, police were called to the Island Road area of Barrow Island in response to a call from a member of the public reporting that a group of males were in possession of a firearm.
A number of police officers quickly attended the Barrow Island area, which included support from armed officers and a dog handler.
Five people were arrested within a short time of the call and were detained at Barrow Police Station.
Police also recovered a viable firearm with ammunition, an imitation firearm and a knife.
An extensive investigation has been conducted.
A 54-year-old man from Barrow Island received a police caution for possession of a small amount of cannabis bush. He also agreed to the destruction of an imitation firearm which was recovered at the time.
A 40-year-old man from Barrow has been detained for treatment under the Mental Health Act.
The two other people who were arrested at the time have been released with no further action being taken against them.
DI Rob O'Connor from Barrow CID, who is leading the investigation, said: "Thankfully incidents involving firearms in Cumbria are very rare. Police responded immediately and quickly detained five people and recovered a firearm which is now safely off the streets.
"Our investigation is still ongoing, and I would urge anyone who was in the area of the Co-Op on Island Road, Barrow Island at 9.10pm on Monday evening who may have seen three males entering and leaving the shop to make contact with me on 101 or contact Crime stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Have your say
Dramatic stuff, two guns and a knife ?
Seems to have fizzled out though.
Thought the police would manage to get more serious charges
than this out of the matter.
The cops have done a really good job by
quickly making arrests but how do such minor
charges deter these people in future ?

Predetermined oil intervals and what to check in oil analysis
As a responsible truck owner, you should change your oil at predetermined intervals. Oil analysis provides great information and is the best way to keep track of how your engine is wearing.
The bypass filter advantage
Part 2 in Kevin Rutherford's series on oil-change strategy. While oil analysis gives you the information to handle drain intervals more sensibly, bypass filtration adds another dimension to save money and downtime.
Change thinking, not oil
Using oil analysis can save you money in new oil, oil disposal and overall maintenance -- and can alert you to emerging engine problems.
Stay in control of your warranty
Manufacturers can invalidate warranties for many reasons. Here are some tips to keep you in the clear.
The cost-effective approach to changing oil
The best way to know when to change oil is to have an oil sample analyzed. Kevin Rutherford's February Dollars & Sense column covers the next key step.
How to Change Oil
An oil change not only removes impurities, but it replaces depleted additives, as well as base oil that might have oxidized and broken down from heat.
Oil analysis program
Shell's LubeAnalyst oil analysis program helps assess whether fluids and equipment are performing as intended and determine appropriate lubricant change intervals.
Time for an overhaul
Oil analysis and other information can help you determine if an engine's ripe for rebuilding. The same diagnoses might postpone an overhaul or eliminate engine failure.

CBC Radio's language show, And Sometimes Y, ran an episode a few weeks back, which can be found here, in which various experts pontificated, pinpointed and debated speech differences in the gay and lesbian communities.
You don't have to listen to the show; but what do the speech differences sound like to you? Do they even exist at all?
That was quite interesting.
One of the gay boys I know is very luvvie in his speech. But it's difficult because most of the boys I know are these well spoken, rather affected types and none of them sound- or are- that typically manly-down-the-octave-butch. And the 'gayest' sounding boy I know is ostensibly straight (although that's very controversial).
I don't think I have an identifiably lesbian voice, but I do have a very strange and changable way of talking and laughing; often quite flamboyant.
And within my group of friends we have a lot of words and phrases not used elsewhere- 'lol' pronounced like loll to mean funny or express schadenfreude, 'upsetting' expresses everything from disapproval to existential awfulness, 'horribly witty'/ 'terribly witty' acknowledges an awful pun or bit of wordplay. 'Jereremy' refers to the singer Jeremy Warmsley. 'All ages' as in "there were loads of all ages types there" refers to all ages gigs renowned for their horrible underage neon legging wearing audience, who are very... upsetting. There's loads of others.
So the people we're with- and I imagine especially small insular communities- do impact the words we use and the way we say things; dialects emerge very rapidly.
I don't know anything about cars though.
I think There's a gay lingo. GLBT, a lot of people don't know that acronym. I'll say "FTM" and people will have no idea what I said. A lot of the time people say tranvestite or hermaphrodite and I want to correct them- transsexual, intersex. What you said is derogatory. Just like fag.
I dunno.
Be yourself. 'Cause if you're busy being somebody else, who's gonna be you?
Some of it was just silly, until the linguists came on...
Usually, this is viewed backwards. Like, when someone comes out, they start talking "gayer," when they actually stopped repressing that aspect of themselves (whereby their "straighter" voice was the real affectation). So, I think it comes down to internalized homophobia, setting, and to whom you're talking. I mean, I know I have straight relatives who don't get into any interesting verbal repartee, so why even bother?
I don't think it is always code switching, either. You can not be in the mood to have playful banter, and sometimes it indicates sexual attraction, so if you're really not into somebody you may not engage them that way. Living in the gay neighborhood, this is all pretty normal stuff.
Historically, I think there was more coded language, when it was more difficult to be gay. Now, more people divide up their lives more, whereby they might want to seem straighter at work, but gayer with friends, but I think all of this really comes down to gender roles and expectations.
Closeted guys are less likely to want to appear anything but 100% masculine. As they said in the piece, some people still think "straight-acting" is some badge of honor. And there are probably more straight guys who might have to butch it up just because that is their expectation, and straight girls who have to be more feminine for the same reasons, whereas gay people can sort of just drop all of that and find where they are comfortable wherever it lands on the masculine/feminine scale.
It all largely comes down to gender role expectation.
"Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there." -- Josh Billings.
Add me on MySpace!
Eh, sounds about right from my experiences with psycholinguistic classes.
Well the link worked fine enough until it stopped playing and I kept trying just because it sounded so interesting!
I finally listened to the whole piece and it was definitely interesting, the guy at the beginning was right about his voice, haha; but then mine probably sounds a decibel higher! I swear that his voice sounds very nice to me though, so part of what they said at the end about attraction surely seems valid to me in more than one way.
The second man to come on sounded way less friendly to me lmao, but I pegged him as gay after a few words, (and then I recalled the fact that he was a Toronto actor, fitting a stereotype). I found it interesting that the woman speaking from start to finish was a lesbian, IMO the voice fits the bill but I also know at least three girls with similar sounding voices who are completely straight.
I'm in complete agreement with them about content being an indicator, because that's more blatant and could coincide with a mental analysis of clothing or eye contact. If you're staring at a dozen naked people who are all looking away and not interacting, then you have NO idea who's gay or not. If you slap clothes on, well you may not know who's just flamboyant or poor or stylish or wearing imposed clothes. If you get eye contact going, some people can detect very keenly off of that, while others don't.
When you hear them say something, I think that acts as another trigger, but then there are LOTS of guys with high pitched/non-deep voices or really feminine laughs who are (semi-unfortunately) not gay! The clincher from what they discussed and what my viewpoint is, is introducing meaningful content. Admittedly, there are billions of idiots around the globe, and being gay doesn't mean you can't be uneducated, unintelligent or uninterested but as the lesbians commented on; a woman knowing a lot about cars says what? A man having a keen knowledge of broadway indicates what? Then again, as someone ELSE said later on, stereotypes might as well be what the content factor is... but then again, everything might as well be a stereotype, or are physical characteristics (excluding vocalized thought) different?
In terms of your original question; the speech differences to me between a gay and straight male sound identical to what the original guy said "light timbre and sibilant or lispy s's"! With the actor who came on, I identified his 'gaybonics' from the way he said 'for sure', it was said quickly and had actual emotion... and honestly, I don't think many straight men use the term 'absolutely' that often, so that was a latter content bit that aided my labelling him as gay.
I think that gay males tend to speak more quickly and are actually ABLE to do so, we also make eye contact a lot better than straight males, and whenever I see a gay male speaking, he seems more down-to-earth in the way that he literally holds his head/face. I see straight male politicians with their heads elevated and not looking anyone in the eye; I see male teachers doing sweeping glances and staring way downward. I view gay males as speaking more head-on or at least varying it, instead of being craned up or down! Sadly I don't have much experience with lots of gay men (hahaha) but I think that there are way more straight males that speak DOWN to people (i.e. dismissively, pompously etc.) than there will ever be gay men to do the same. A gay man might also avoid doing that regularly because of the ever-present worry of being attacked for the dismissive behaviour.
I can imagine vocalization in layers, and definitely see the 'breathy' part one of the interviewees commented on. A barking straight male voice to me, seems to have an upper, heavy, angry layer; whereas just a normal gay male voice has a middle-low layer of breath or pent up emotion.
I honestly find it hard to identify a lesbian from a straight girl, but I think lesbians come across as being a lot more subdued in many ways (at least initially) and that can translate to voice layering too, haha. The interviewer's voice throughout doesn't VARY near extremes, when she laughs I don't get a 'wavering' in the image of her voice layering, as though her voice is more compact but still expansive. Even when she has a real chuckle over the gay actor's gay stereotyping voice, I can imagine any straight girl's voice going way higher and having a lot more emotional GLEE embedded in it. And I think glee is a great term to apply here, since I don't pick that up very strongly from any of the lesbians who speak. Not to say that they don't get happy and laugh and are cheerful, but I don't detect GLEE.
Listening to the gay actor again, his words also flow a lot more evenly than any straight boy at my school ever would, even the best of them. It makes me think of gossiping or storytelling, but only to a degree. It's as though those two things are weaved into the voice layering of most gay males, but not TOO pronounced, as with a gossiping girl or storytelling middle-aged/old man. Hmm I'd also consider the stress gay males place on vowels, think of how you say 'there' or 'there are' or 'here' and imagine a manly straight boy saying those same things. Hear a difference?
Neat-o clip!
You're Amazing.

The New Jersey Department of Education released The 2009 New Jersey Student Health Survey results in April 2010. The Bloustein Center for Survey Research conducts the survey biannually for NJDOE with a sample of approximately 40 schools and 2,000 students in New Jersey. The study is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control as part of its Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) effort and is conducted in virtually every state. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Health have renewed the contract with BCSR to collect data for their respective states' Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring Systems (PRAMS). BCSR conducts the surveys annually with a sample of approximately 2,000 mothers in each state. The study is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and is conducted in 37 states. The New Jersey Department of Education released its Annual Performance Report as part of its State Performance Plan, submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. BCSR assists NJDOE in conducting "Indicator 8" of the plan, a survey of parents with children receiving special education services, to assess the performance of a random sample of school districts in the state. Over 10,000 parents responded to the survey in 2009. BCSR partnered with faculty members and research centers at Rutgers including the Voorhees Center for Transportation Center, the Center for Urban Policy Research, and the Eagleton Institute of Politics, as well as with Bloustein professors Michael Greenberg, Jocelyn Crowley, Alan Rosenthal, Joseph Seneca, and Dean James Hughes. These projects have studied a wide variety of research topics including transportation issues, broadband accessibility throughout New Jersey, the New Jersey economy, the role of the governor as chief executive in state policymaking, nationwide public attitudes, interests, and preferences about the development of nuclear and coal energy production facilities, mothers' attitudes toward flexible workplace arrangements, and the economic and infrastructural preservation of Route 66. Funding for these studies has come from a variety of public and private sources including the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Parks Service, the New Jersey Department of Homeland Security, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and the Sloan Foundation
The Bloustein School's Center for Transportation Safety, Security and Risk, the School of Ecological and Biological Sciences, the School of Engineering, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) have joined forces to offer a new graduate certificate designed to provide students with a risk analysis approach to transportation policy. The new certificate, Transportation Management: Vulnerability, Risk and Security (TM:VRS), enables students to enhance employment and career advancement in the fields of planning, engineering, public health and related fields. According to CTSSR director and Bloustein professor Michael Greenberg, the new certificate "focuses multidisciplinary faculty expertise in risk analysis on one of the most daunting homeland security challenges we face, which is the protection of our transit populations, workers, and the engineered systems that we depend on." In addition, CTSSR received $635,000 in funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in July of 2010 for four new projects related to transportation security. CTSSR will also begin to serve as a research mentor for Tougaloo University, a partner university in the DHS's National Transportation Security Center of Excellence. Earlier this year the CTSSR received a $192,543 grant from the Department of Homeland Security to develop an advanced composite material for blast and fire resistance.
A new report by scholars from the Bloustein School's Center for Urban Policy Research, The Contribution of the Casino Hotel Industry to New Jersey's Economy, highlights the significant impact the New Jersey casino resort industry has across the state. Conducted on behalf of the Casino Association of New Jersey, some of the points noted by lead researcher Michael Lahr include that the industry is responsible for 100,000 jobs in all 21 counties across the state; the industry generates $900 million annually in state and local tax revenue for New Jersey; and 34 million tourists visit annually, or approximately one-third of all tourism in the state. Additionally, according to the report, the casino resort industry employs more New Jersey residents than the investment, pharmaceutical, transit and military sectors, and receives nearly as many visitors as Las Vegas, New York and Disney World
President McCormick recently created the Sustainable Raritan River/Rutgers Ecological Preserve Task Force to develop a long-term strategy to address key policy and science issues related to the Raritan River, and Rutgers' key role in the future protection and stewardship of the Ecological Preserve as a central component of a broader Sustainable Raritan River Initiative. Bloustein Dean James Hughes and Robert Goodman, dean of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, both contributed to a fund established by the President to support this work for the coming year. Dr. Judy Shaw, Senior Research Associate at the National Center for Neighborhood and Brownfields Redevelopment, co-chairs the task force with Dean Goodman. The first funded project is the restoration of the central entrance to the Preserve and the introduction of a demonstration loop for a new trail system, which is being jointly created through the leadership of Dr. Richard Lathrop of CRSSA and Dr. Wolfram Hoefer of the Department of Landscape Architecture. The project is also sponsored by University Facilities
The John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development has been awarded an additional $1.15 million from the U.S. Department of Labor for the Heldrich's National Technical Assistance and Research Center for Increasing Employment and Economic Independence of Adults with Disabilities. The goal of the center is to build capacity and leadership at the federal, state, and local levels to enable change across workforce development and disability-specific systems, and to increase employment and economic self-sufficiency for adults with disabilities
A new initiative between the National Center for Neighborhood and Brownfields Redevelopment, in partnership with Vertices, Inc. and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, has led to the creation of a new, interactive Lead-Safe Housing Registry. The interactive Registry was created for the Lead-Safe Housing Program at the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. Previously available as a PDF document, the interactive Registry was developed to assist New Jersey residents interested in locating lead-safe housing units by county, municipality, or street address. In addition to learning about the lead status of a particular home, the website provides information on the neighborhood, schools, hospitals, parks, mass transit stops, and other information that a family may be interested in when seeking housing. The Registry may be accessed at http://www.njleadsafe.info/. GIS Specialist Jennifer Rovito will make a presentation about the Lead-Free project at the Mid-Atlantic Chapter meeting of URISA in October.
Dr. Daniel Chatman, former director of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University (VTC), and Stephanie DiPetrillo, project manager at VTC, recently completed "Eliminating Barriers to Transit-Oriented Development," a research project sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The report looked at three conditions that could be barriers to transit-oriented development: impacts on schools; impacts on local auto traffic; and impacts on local parking. Ten transit stations in distinct communities were investigated, comparing households living near rail stations as well as farther away in both old and new housing. A copy of the NJDOT Technical Brief is also available. Leigh Ann Von Hagen, project manager for the New Jersey Bicycle and Pedestrian Resource Center at VTC, has completed an analysis of school policy as it relates to walking and bicycling to school. As key partners in Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs, schools and school districts can play a big role in establishing a culture of bicycling and walking to school. School policies that encourage and support bicycling and walking can substantially boost an SRTS program, both within individual schools and throughout the community. In contrast, a policy that discourages or prohibits bicycling or walking can stop an SRTS program in its tracks. While SRTS programs are developing and flourishing in many communities around the country, some communities are discovering barriers to active transportation due to school policies. To explore the reasons behind barrier policies, 165 schools and 24 school districts in Middlesex County, New Jersey, were surveyed to obtain current school policy or lack thereof for students walking and/or bicycling to and from school. Andrea Lubin, senior project manager at VTC, has received funding through a federal Medicaid Infrastructure Grant to conduct a one-year study examining how to expand the resources available to improve and enhance community transportation services for people with disabilities in New Jersey. Investigating this issue was a key recommendation included in a five-year plan VTC prepared for the New Jersey Division of Disability Services in 2005, entitled "Meeting the Employment Transportation Needs of People with Disabilities in New Jersey." The plan's recommendations, which VTC and others in the state continue to pursue, are intended to increase employment opportunities for New Jersey's population with disabilities by addressing work-related transportation barriers. Ugo Lachapelle joined VTC in July 2010 as a postdoctoral associate. He recently completed a PhD at the School of Community and Regional Planning, University of British Columbia, Canada. Ugo holds a BA in Environmental Studies and an MSc in Environmental Science. He is a past recipient of the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Fonds Quebecois de recherche sur la societe et la culture, and the Bombardier Foundation. His research at the Voorhees Transportation Center will contribute to the Pedestrian Bicycle Resource Center and the Safe Routes to School Resource Center.

If not for McJayGate, Broncos never see Tebow or Manning
Posted By Mike Klis On September 14, 2012 @ 5:30 pm In General Broncos | 26 Comments
To think, if not for Josh McDaniels, Jay Cutler would still be the Broncos' quarterback.
McDaniels had been the Broncos' head coach for two months when he thought about acquiring Matt Cassel from New England in a three-way deal that would have sent Cutler to Tampa Bay. Talks never got very far, but far enough to get Cutler in a tither. The relationship between McDaniels and Cutler became irreconciable and the quarterback was traded to the Chicago Bears.
Had that row between coach and quarterback never happened, McDaniels wouldn't have drafted Tim Tebow in the first round of the 2010 draft. The Broncos would have missed out on Tebow's magical season of 2011. And had Tebow been more of a conventional, passing-adequate quarterback, John Elway, who replaced McDaniels as chief of football operations, never would have pursued and acquired Peyton Manning through the free agent market.
I'm not stating this to rip on Cutler, or McDaniels for that matter. They've both been skewered enough. This is only to say that the Broncos recovered nicely from one of the most sordid chapters in franchise history.

Colorado Springs Police investigators are gathering evidence and questioning a suspect involved in an early morning burglary at the Lighthouse Baptist Church on the 4200 block of Hopeful Drive.
Police began receiving calls at around 4 a.m. Easter Sunday morning when a man was seen acting suspiciously and lurking around the neighborhood. Officers were dispatched to the area and during their patrol noticed a window broken out at the Lighthouse Baptist Church.
As the officers continued to search the area they found what was described as a trail of blood that led them to the suspect who was covered in cuts and scrapes. The suspect is described only as a 17 year old male, who was taken to a local hospital for treatment then taken into custody. He has been charged with second degree burglary and criminal mischief.
Police went on to detail that they found a second window broken out as well. It appears that the suspect broke one window with a rock to break in and a second window in an attempt to escape.
Nothing has been reported to have been stolen as the suspect was caught at the scene. The extent of any other damages has yet to be released as police continue to investigate and question the suspect. The name of the suspect is being witheld because he is a minor.

Facebook's upcoming IPO might be the talk of the social media world this week, but Twitter's hoping to make a bit of its own buzz.
The social media company has just announced some new ways that it will be experimenting with making it easier for you to find more relevant users to follow.
"Currently, when new users come to Twitter, we show them all almost the same suggestions for what or who to follow. That isn't ideal," Twitter's Director of Growth and International, Othman Laraki, said on Twitter's blog today.
Twitter is now going to do more to find suggestions that make sense for you based on what it knows about you, including the websites you visit. Whether you are new to Twitter or already a user, you might start to see more tailored suggestions in the "Who to Follow" area on Twitter's website. According to Twitter, these suggestions "are built on accounts followed by other Twitter users and visits to websites in the Twitter ecosystem." This is aided by Twitter's tweet buttons and tie in with other sites.
"We receive visit information when sites have integrated Twitter buttons or widgets, similar to what many other web companies — including LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube — do when they're integrated into websites," Twitter said. For instance, it now might now suggest you follow ABC News if you happen to read an ABC News story or see a video. It will know you were there because there is a Twitter button on the page.
Twitter will also be revamping the follow page for new users. It will display suggestions for users to follow, along with a timeline of tweets so new users can actually see the content of the tweets.
But Twitter said it is emphasizing user choice above all.
"For those who don't want to tailor Twitter, we offer ways to turn off this collection," Laraki said in his post. Additionally, today Twitter announced that it will be teaming up with Firefox to provide a Do Not Track button in the browser.
"If you have DNT enabled in your browser settings, we will not collect the information that enables this feature, so you won't see any tailored suggestions," the post said.
Twitter will also be adding an option to "Tailor Twitter based on my recent website visits" so users can enable or disable this function.
According to Twitter, the "tailored suggestions" features are just an experiment for now and will be limited at first.

Ken no problem but yeah not much I can do here as there is no ability to do what you want. Basically when vb3 went end of life all work has been concentrated on vb4.
Same thing happened to people when vb3 came out for those vb2 users. Once a product is noted as end of life you do not see any new work on a dead product.
We will keep the vb3 integration for those users who will remain on vb3 but no new work is going to be done. Soon we will have to gear up possibly sometime for vb5.

Warner Archive has just reissued Peter Bogdanovich's 1968 debut film "Targets" on DVD and it remains a deeply unsettling experience all these years later.
Shot in 1967 as a cautionary tale about mental illness and guns, the movie's summer 1968 release date couldn't have been worse – it opened in the wake of the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy when sensitivity to gun violence could not have been greater.
All these years later, the picture once again strikes a contemporary chord with a climactic massacre set at a drive-in theater which now recalls last year's killings at a Colorado multiplex on opening night of the most recent "Batman" film.
Bogdanovich went on to an illustrious career as the director of "The Last Picture Show" and "Paper Moon," among others, and he has continued to do important work as a historian and cultural commentator.
Bogdanovich was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter last year about his debut film and what happened in Colorado.
"People go to a movie to have a good time, and they get killed. … It makes me sick that I made a movie about it," he said.
"We made 'Targets' 44 years ago. It was based on something that happened in Texas, when that guy Charles Whitman shot a bunch of people after killing his mother and his wife… It was meant to be a cautionary fable. It was a way of saying the Boris Karloff kind of violence, the Victorian violence of the past, wasn't as scary as the kind of random violence that we associate with a sniper — or what happened last weekend. That's modern horror. At first, some of the people (at 'The Dark Knight Rises') thought it was part of the movie. That's very telling."
"Nothing's changed (since 'Targets'). Things have gotten worse when it comes to the control of guns…. I'm not sure what the solution is. I just know that the violence in this country is out of control. And the fact that guns are so easy to get is chilling. But nobody wants to blame the movies. Nobody wants to blame guns. And yet, it's so easy to buy them and there are more murders in this country than anywhere else. I'm not too eloquent on the subject. I'm just too angry about it."
Bogdanovich was a highly regarded New York critic in the early 1960s who became determined to crossover to filmmaking just as the French critics Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard did.
Bogdanovich moved west and hooked up with the B-moviemaker Roger Corman — who was famous for employing and exploiting ambitious young men such as Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.
Corman put Bogdanovich to work as an assistant on several pictures and then came up with a unique challenge for the aspiring filmmaker. If Peter could figure out how to use some leftover footage from a Corman turkey called "The Terror" along with a few days' work Corman was owed by veteran actor Boris Karloff, the B-movie producer would underwrite any picture that Bogdanovich could construct within those limitations.
The would-be director and his production designer wife Polly Platt pondered the challenge for a few days and came up with a brilliant solution — they would combine a story about an aging and increasingly irrelevant horror movie actor in Hollywood with a tale of a mentally unbalanced young man who goes on a killing spree with his collection of high-powered rifles.
The 1966 massacre at the University of Texas inspired Bogdanovich's character, Bobby Thompson (Tim O'Kelly), who has a dead-end job and an aggressively bland family life.
One day, he flips, kills his family and then climbs onto a gas storage tank near an L.A. freeway and begins shooting people as they drive by.
Eventually, the two plot strands merge when the Karloff character goes to the premiere of his latest B-movie at the drive-in where Bobby has taken refuge in the screen tower. As the picture is projected, Bobby pokes a hole in the giant screen and begins to shoot moviegoers in their cars.
"Targets" managed to bring together Bogdanovich's fascination with old movies and his unanswered questions about why "good boy" Whitman went on his Texas spree two years earlier.
Paramount thought "Targets" to be such an accomplished thriller that they bought the movie from Corman for national release. Unfortunately, right after they purchased the rights, King and Kennedy were assassinated, and the timing could not have been more wrong for an emotionally cool examination of a mass gun killer.
The picture never received a wide release, but after Bogdanovich scored a huge success with "The Last Picture Show" three years later, revival houses started booking "Targets" and it built a sizeable cult audience.
Sadly, the taut little thriller has retained its relevance through five decades of random, unexplainable massacres just like the one it dramatizes in such harrowing detail.
