Need a drink? It's a simple question, but in New Orleans the options can be overwhelming. To make that decision easier, actor and comedian Ian Hoch created the "Where to Get Drinks Chart."
Follow the steps, answer the questions ("Where are you?" "Want live music?" "Want to hang out with old people?") and you'll end up at a place that fills your needs and fits your personality. The chart, posted on the photo sharing site Flickr (see http://bit.ly/fw2ALF), is a sardonic and too-profane-for-a-family-newspaper sizing up of the local bar scene. Anyone who spends time out in New Orleans will either nod in agree or shrink in embarrassment at Hoch's take on their favorite haunts."Every time I read a bar guide," Hoch said, "I felt there were certain quirks and attributes that don't get mentioned, but that everybody knows anyway and that are the first things they think of when they hear the name of that bar."
He spent about six hours creating the chart the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Initially, he did it just to amuse his friends.
"I kind of huddled up on my computer," he said, "and tried to be as honest as I could about people's perceptions of these bars."
By Monday, links to the chart were circulating on Twitter and Facebook. On Tuesday, it showed up on the national food blog Eater.com. And by the time this reporter spoke with Hoch on Wednesday, he already had a corporation and a business partner. They plan to rush out a poster version of the flow chart before Christmas.
What path does Hoch take through the "Where to Get Drinks Chart" when he goes out?
"I'm usually," he said, "'Downtown' and 'Getting (expletive) up.'" That could take him to the R Bar, Marie's, the Alibi, Molly's at the Market, or Mimi's in the Marigny.

Guyanese woman held in huge Antigua cocaine bust
A Guyanese woman has been held in Antigua in connection with a staggering cocaine bust on the island and is scheduled to appear in court today.
On Wednesday, the Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP) in Antigua conducted another successful counter narcotics operation and seized over 480 kilos of cocaine.
A statement from the ONDCP today said that assisting in the probe are a 41 year old Antiguan male and a 41 year old Guyanese female both residing in Old Runway.
"The estimated wholesale value of the seized narcotic is slightly under EC $ 17,000,000.00. It is expected that relevant persons will soon be charged and will be arraigned before the Court" today. The value of these same drugs in the UK would be approximately £ 24 million pounds, the release said.
It added that on hearing the news, recently elected Prime Minister, Gaston Browne congratulated the Agency on its recent successes and reaffirmed his Government's Zero Tolerance policy as it relates to issues of drug trafficking, and related crimes.
The ONDCP said that this recent success follows the seizure of approximately 2300 pounds of Cannabis that carried an estimated street value of EC $37 million and the arrest of the Jamaican crew comprising of six men who are presently awaiting trial in the High Court.
The ONDCP said that this seizure represents the single largest seizure of cocaine by any Caribbean Law Enforcement agency in recent times.

Gigahertz decoy quantum key distribution with 1 Mbit/s secure key rate
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 23, pp. 18790-18979 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (234 KB)
We report the first gigahertz clocked decoy-protocol quantum key distribution (QKD). Record key rates have been achieved thanks to the use of self-differencing InGaAs avalanche photodiodes designed specifically for high speed single photon detection. The system is characterized with a secure key rate of 1.02 Mbit/s for a fiber distance of 20 km and 10.1 kbit/s for 100 km. As the present advance relies upon compact non-cryogenic detectors, it opens the door towards practical and low cost QKD systems to secure broadband communication in future.

Laparoscopic gastrectomy
Can anyone help w/ this op report please? There isn't a CPT code for laparoscopic gastrectomy and I was going to go w/ 43659 & 43235-59. Not sure about any other codes including dx code please.
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS Hyperplastic gastric polyps. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS Hyperplastic gastric polyps. PROCEDURE PERFORMED Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II anastomosis. INDICATIONS Patient is a 58-year-old woman. She has an approximately 7 year history of gastrointestinal hemorrhage requiring blood product replacement. She was admitted to PMC on July 1, 2008, with recurrent symptoms. She underwent EGD by the gastroenterology service that showed diffuse polyps in her stomach, normal duodenoscopy. Biopsy of these polyps showed hyperplasia, hyperplastic polyps. After extensive discussion and recommendations by the gastroenterology service she elected to undergo laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy. The patient was admitted in the preop hold area. Questions were answered and informed consent was obtained. PROCEDURE She was taken to the operating room. She received intravenous antibiotics. General endotracheal anesthesia was induced. Foley catheter was placed. Her abdomen was prepped and draped. We proceeded with an EGD. Gastroscope was inserted into the stomach. The esophagus was normal. The stomach had multiple polyps centered mostly in the body, relative sparing of the fundus and antrum. The scope was inserted in the duodenum. There was some old blood there. This was monitored with no active source identified. We replaced the EGD with a pediatric colonoscope and inserted it into the proximal jejunum. Once again found no additional bleeding sites. At this point the laparoscopy was started. A 10-12 port was placed in the right upper quadrant after local anesthesia. Pneumoperitoneum was created. Additional 10-12 ports were placed in the upper abdomen and 5 mm ports laterally. A Fan liver retractor was used to retract the left lobe of the liver. We started by taking down the short gastrics along the greater curve up to approximately the proximal fundus level using the ligature device. This dissection was carried distally to just distal to the pylorus. The lesser sac was freed of adhesions. A window was made in the lesser omentum. The right gastric artery was transected with the ligature device. The dissection was carried along the lesser curve up until the proximal lesser curve arcade vessels. At this point the gastroscope was reinserted. The proposed proximal gastric pouch was examined. It contained only a minimal number of gastric polyps that would be easily surveyed. At this point a GIA 45 stapler was used to transect the proximal duodenum. Additional fires with the GIA 45 stapler were used to create the proximal pouch and resect the distal fundus and body of the stomach. Using the gastroscope the proximal pouch was examined. There were approximately 6 to 8 remaining polyps. The pouch size was approximately 50 to 75 mL. At this point the resected stomach was moved out of the upper abdomen and the transverse colon was lifted, the ligament of Treitz was identified approximately 75 cm distally. The jejunum was brought up in an antecolic fashion. Enterotomies were made in both the loop and the stomach anterior to the staple line. An additional fire with the GIA blue load stapler was used to create a Billroth II anastomosis. The remaining enterotomy was closed with running 2-0 Vicryl followed by interrupted 2-0 silk Lembert sutures. The anastomosis was checked by placing the patient in Trendelenburg position using the gastroscope to insufflate the pouch under irrigation fluid in the abdomen. There was no sign of leak and the proximal and distal limbs of the loop were identified and were intact. At this point the resected stomach was placed into a specimen bag and removed from the right upper quadrant port site. It was closed with an interrupted 0 Vicryl on a Endo Close device. The other ports were removed under direct vision and the skin sites closed with Monocryl and Dermabond. The patient tolerated the procedure well. IV fluid was 1800 mL. EBL was 50 mL. Urine output was 500. Anesthesia was provided. Last edited by nlbarnes; 07-14-2008 at 10:34 AM. Reason: place of service |

A little constructive criticism helped provide the calm amidst the storm that was the Licking Valley-Newark Catholic rematch Tuesday.
With the fifth set of the two-hour battle tied at 11, Valley senior Cassi Stein came up with two big blocks, sending the Panthers on their way to a 26-24, 21-25, 25-21, 19-25, 15-11 Licking County League win before a boisterous crowd in Dick Torbert Gymnasium.
"When we're down, we don't yell at teammates. We use constructive criticism," said senior setter Laikyn Hrinko, who had 27 assists. "I told her (Stein): 'Hey, get your head up.'" ...

So much for Republicans running the government like a well-run business. It's more like Adelphia:
But IRS Commissioner Mark Everson also said it's a necessary part of Washington's budget battles.
Everson disagreed that the program wastes taxpayer dollars. It's necessary to use the private companies, he said, because hiring more IRS employees shows up on the federal budget as an expenditure. The budget doesn't acknowledge the extra money that additional employees might collect.

The August 21, 2012 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to vacate EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule marks a material interpretation of EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act – an "unsettling" departure from judicial restraint (according to the dissent). To consider what this means for power producers and other energy market participants, Cadwalader held a teleconference discussion on Tuesday, September 4 about the implications of this important decision.
Hosted by Cadwalader bankruptcy partner George Davis, this conference featured energy partner Ken Irvin, who discussed the court's decision and its impact on energy markets and generators, and litigation partner David Williams, who discussed the different appellate review options available to EPA.
The call also featured guest speakers Lee Van Atta and Ronald Moe of SAIC and Matthew Mazzucchi of Houlihan Lokey, who addressed the impact vacating CSAPR has on earnings and capital expenditures of generators, which still face material costs for compliance with a gauntlet of EPA regulation, including: Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS or Utility MACT), proposed Cooling Water Intake Structures regulation, proposed disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals regulation, and proposed Greenhouse Gas regulations.

Barrandov Studios

Barrandov Studios is a famous set of film studios in Prague, Czech Republic. It is the largest film studio in the country and one of the largest in Europe.
Several of the movies filmed there won Oscars. At present the studios are often called the "European Hollywood" or "Hollywood of the East" due to increasing interest of western productions (such as the movies Mission Impossible, The Bourne Identity, Casino Royale, Prince Caspian, and many others). Noted director Roman Polanski claims Barrandov is the world's best studio.[1]
The studios make an annual award of the Golden Trilobite (Zlatý Trilobit).[2][3]
Czech film history is closely connected with that of Prague's entrepreneurial Havel family, and especially with the activities of the brothers Miloš Havel (1899–1968) and Václav Havel (1897–1979) (Václav was the father of the Czech President of the same name).
In 1921 Miloš Havel created the A-B Joint Stock Company by merging his American Film distribution company with the Biografia film distributors.
At the beginning of the 1930s his brother Václav planned to build a luxurious residential complex on a hill five kilometers outside Prague. Miloš Havel had suggested that he include a modern film studio in the development. The area was to be called Barrandov after Joachim Barrande, the French geologist who had worked at the fossil-rich site in the 19th century. Still the Barrandov Rock has the plaque with Barrande's name.
Construction of the studio, based on designs by Max Urban, began on 28 November 1931 and was completed in 1933.[4] Fourteen months later, Barrandov's first Czech film, 'Murder on Ostrovni Street', was shot there. The volume of films shot at the studio increased rapidly. Barrandov had three hundred permanent employees, was making up to eighty films a year and had begun to attract foreign producers. It was the best-equipped studio in Central Europe and in the early years foreign production companies such as UFA, MGM and Paramount developed their own distribution systems in Czechoslovakia because of it.[5]
During the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany during World War II (1940–1945) major additions were made to the studio's facilities. Seeking to make Barrandov an equal to the major film studios in Berlin and Munich, the Nazis drew up plans for three large interconnecting stages. Construction work started in 1941 but the final stage was not completed until early 1945. These three huge stages (with more than 37,000 square feet (3,400 m2) of shooting space) still form the main attraction of the studios to film-makers throughout the world.
Shortly after the war, Barrandov and its smaller sister studio facility at Hostivař were nationalized and remained under state ownership until the beginning of the 1990s. During this time, Barrandov's impressive film laboratories were constructed, as was a special effects stage with a back projection tunnel and a water tank equipped for under-water shooting.
New Wave[edit]
The Prague Spring of the mid-1960s was accompanied by a New Wave of Czech feature films which attracted worldwide attention. Czech film directors working at Barrandov at this time included Miloš Forman, Jiří Menzel, Vojtěch Jasný, Pavel Juráček, Věra Chytilová, Jan Němec, Ivan Passer, Elmar Klos or Ján Kadár. Closely Watched Trains (Menzel) and The Shop on Main Street (Klos and Kadár) each won the American Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Forman's The Firemen's Ball and Loves of a Blonde achieved Oscar nominations.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Barrandov continued to produce high quality feature films, particularly comedies and Czech fairy tales, turning out an average of seventy pictures a year. In the 1980s foreign film-makers started to return to Prague in order to avail themselves of the Studio's quality facilities and the country's variety of film locations. Major productions included Barbra Streisand's Yentl and Miloš Forman's US production of Amadeus (winner of several American Academy Awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture).
Recent situation[edit]
Shortly after the Velvet Revolution (1989) Barrandov was privatized and the state no longer provided total funding for Czech film production. Due to being unable to adapt properly to the new conditions after the free market reform, the studio almost closed down in 2000. However, later, the decrease in local films was "compensated" by a dramatic increase in foreign productions, particularly feature films made by U.S. producers. Czech television stations and producers of commercials for television also made extensive use of the facility. Barrandov Studios now provide complete production services for visiting feature film producers and for the increasing volume of local audio-visual production.
On December 2006 Barrandov Studios have officially opened "Max" – a massive new soundstage aimed at attracting bigger productions than ever. According to studio representatives, in terms of size the new facility is now the largest in Europe at 4,000 square metres. "Max" is also almost 14 metres high, which means it should provide room for even the most demanding of productions.
Barrandov is owned by Moravia Steel which is owned by group of Slovak entrepreneurs.

As for what happened thereupon, one may either hold the deity responsible, or one may say that nobody could withstand desperate men. For when Archidamus led the advance with not so much as a hundred men and, after crossing the very thing1 which seemed to present an obstacle, marched uphill against the adversary, at that moment the fire-breathers, the men who had defeated the Lacedaemonians, the men who were altogether superior in numbers and were occupying higher ground besides, did not withstand the attack of the troops under Archidamus, but gave way.
1 Difficult ground, apparently.

Gals Panic (Arcade) review"Your goal here is to move your icon around the square-shaped stage. You can move wherever you like so long as you like and not have to worry about dying. The minute you start drawing a line, though, you're vulnerable to attacks. Enemies are moving about along with you, and if they hit you while you're drawing, or shape you're drawing that you haven't completed, you lose a life." |

Punishing an Angel (tues)

Posted Fri 15th of April 2005
Still being sore from the previous day, the soft SMACK of her back side startled her. "Hey Fatty-Matty."
"Ow, not in school. Go away. Someone might see." Matty turns from her locker after slamming it to face her enemy.
"I see you got your backpack back."
"Yeah, Ryan gave it to me in the car this morning. He said he picked it up from your house before getting me. What he think about me going to your house yesterday?"
"Don't worry, hon, I told him we were studying and he was oh-so-happy that we're getting together. Yesterday's slutting will not be told to Ryan. What kind of Master would I be?" Mikey winks to Matty, agreeing with himself. Suddenly another SLAP is felt by Matty, but this time a little harder. She winces. Ryan is standing behind her, inquiring what they're talking about.
"We're just discussing about what time this Angel of yours will be coming over to finish studying. She's still having troubles in math."
"Hey Matty, I want him to show you something when you get there. Mikey made it in shop class, and I was thinking about buying it off of him. I'll see you tomorrow morning? Bye sweet." After kissing her on the check, he slaps her ass and then rubs it a little before pinching her.
"Well, whore...I'm gonna drive home to get things set up. See you there."
Matty walks down the crowded hall, after Mikey leaves her locker. still in disbelieve about what she has gotten herself into, so continues to walk out of the school and starts the 20 minute walk to Mikey's. Today is extremely hot for a day in May. Her tee shirt sticks to her body, and she regrets wearing long jeans. Matty was just scared her red ass would hang out of her short-shorts.
Arriving at Mikey's after the long walk, she walks up the steep steps of his house. Attached to the door is a note saying to go around back to the shed and wait. Back down the steps, across the front lawn, around the side of the house, through the gate and into the shed door she creeps. Matty doesn't know where her Master is, and is unsure of what to do. Into the dark, she sees Mikey painting varnish onto a paddle 14 inches long, not including the handle, 4 inches across and an inch thick. Next to the can of varnish is sand paper and a pile of saw dust. He was just adding his final touches.
"Aw, your here," Mikey looks at his watch, "And not even late. Good slave. Now strips, and on your knees. Don't forget your chain, its hanging there." He doesn't even look over to acknowledge that she's there.
"Do you like it. This is what Ryan was talking about today. After I showed it to him, he started telling me about how he handles you when you don't behave. I guess I'm not your only master." He laughs to himself, while getting up. He swishes it through the air. "It still has to dry a bit." He hangs it up in the middle of the shed buy a thin rope already tied to a rafter of the ceiling. He walks towards her, unzipping his pants. "Are you ready to show some respect?"
Again six inches is stuffed into mouth and forced to the back of her throat. It was the same as before. Mikey puts the leash on and pumps harder. This time he pulls out while cumming, spraying her with his juices. He picks up Matty's tee shirt to clean himself off and then adjusts himself. "Lets go bitch." Mikey give the leash a hard tug. "No, down! Stay on your knees." Matty hated the choke chain. It took the breath out of her. She was pulled into the house by the back door as if she was a bad dog. WACK She hated the ruler too. Matty tries to keep up so she can breath down a hall, through the living room, down another hall, up the wooden stairs and into the bathroom.
"Get in the tub, slut. Wash that shit off your face." She climbs into the tub, when all of a sudden cold water starts to pour. She looks up from her knees to see the shower faucet spraying her. At lest she can see, she thinks to herself. The cold water was unbearable for Matty, except on her sour spots. The water was a relief on her abused knees and ass. "Hurry up! I don't have all day! Use your dirty hands if you have to." For the first time Mikey was showing anger. He was telling her to hurry up? She was the one hating it, so she quickly complied.
Matty was pulled out, and thrown to the counter. "Get up, sit on there." as she pulled herself up to the counter, the cold surface of the time sent shivers down her spine. Wet hair drips down her back and brests. Mikey violently spreads her legs as much as he can. He ran his cruel fingers around her pussy, paying extra attention to her lips. "All smooth...perfectly smooth. I want you to keep them this way...all week, my slut. Sluts have to maintain them so they are exposed. Understand?"
"Yes, Sir," Matty gasps. The Masters warm hands almost feel good on her cold body. Mikey jams one of his fingers into her dry pussy, deep into her inner flesh.
"Its going to be a long day for you, trust me. And everyday is going to be longer."
"Yes, Sir."
"Now, I want you, cunt, to go into my bedroom, stand in the corner, hands behind your head, brests out, touching the wall, and ass out, legs spread. You you understand?"
"Yes, Sir." His finger continues to probe her and then stops, so she can get up. She is stopped when she reaches the door of the bathroom by the leash. "Oops, I forgot to take this off." Mikey wines her back in the room to unhook the leash. SLAP SLAP
She continues to walk to the room she was in yesterday and into the only corner that was available. Matty carefully positions herself into the corner, just like her Master told her to. Now she waits. After a few minutes go by WACK WACK WACK Matty doesn't dare to turn around. She just winces and whines. She feels hands moving slowly up her sides to her brests. They're not very genital and they squeeze and pull. Her nipples are pinched and pulled very hard. the pain is something to get her away from her cold, wet shivering body. Matty feels so helpless. There is nothing she can do in her mind.
All of a sudden, she feels nothing. The intruding hands are gone. She hears movement around the room and things being gone through. Matty is trying to imagine what her Master is going to do to her next and what he is doing now. She hears him sit down on the bed. "Come her cunt." Matty obeys. She keeps her hands behind her head and is sure not to keep her pussy closed too much. "Bend over me lap. That's a slave. Aren't you going to thank me for my patients."
"Thank you, Master. You are kind to me." SLAP SLAP SMACK SLAP Mikey warms those pink cheeks with his hand in a random fashion. Matty is kicking and begging. The more she cries out, the harder and faster Mikey hits. this goes on for a few minutes until she is out of breath, sobbing over Mikey's knees.
"Time for the ruler. And later we can test the paddle." Without warning, Mikey puts the ruler to work. WACK WACK WACK CRACK WHOOSH CRACK WACK Madison has never been hit with the ruler this hard. Mikey pays extra attention to her upper thighs and when she kicks he's sure to abuse her inner thighs.
"NO...IT HUUUURTS...STOP...PLEASE...AH NO...MASTER, NO!!" Matty is struggling to get out of his lock. She is kicking and slapping around like a live fish on land. Her wet hair is all over in a tangled mess. From the bottom of her back to her mid thighs, she was red with strips and blemishes. The last thing she looks like is an Angel.
Mikey uses one leg to trap hers so she isn't flailing as much while he doesn't his grand finale. The sound in the atmosphere couldn't be more glorious. The struggle is so great for the slut, her whole body is red now, her voice is gone.
"Ok, ok, we're done with this." Mike lets go and she falls to the floor where she starts to roll around, rubbing her whole backside: back, ass, and thighs. Mikey gives her a few minutes so he can out loud laugh at her pain. "On then bed wench. Your not very good at keeping control of yourself, but I probably could have guessed that at the party." Mikey pulls her up by holding on the the chain around her neck. She is violently rolled over on the bed so that her ass makes contact with the bed. "Spread those legs. WIDE! Your going to get 10 with the ruler. There not going to be too hard, but if you close your pussy, or fail to count them out loud we start all over." Matty is confused about what he's about to do, but does what he says anyway.
CRACK The ruler lands right across her pussy lips which makes the slave jump up some. "OW..."
"You didn't count. I start over now. See?" With that another WACK is felt.
"ONE..." WACK "Two" WACK "THREE" CRACK "foUR...OW" SNAP "FIVE" WACK "SIX-SHIT"
"What was that I heard? You you want me to start all over?"
"No, no, please don't I'm so sorry. No please. I'll do ANYTHING."
"I'll keep that in mind. Just don't forget you said so. Continue" WACK
"SEVEN" SNAP "EIGHT" WACK "Nine" SWISH-SNAP "TEN. That's ten."
"Very good, slave. You listen well. I bought something for you, but first we need to get you ready." Matty was about to collapse, which made what Mikey was doing easier. He was moving around to tie the bitch's arms to the bedpost. The ropes were already there. He then played with her brests a little more, playing attention to her large nipples. He pulled, pinched and twisted. He love her brests. All of a sudden a sharp pain was felt by Matty, She could see he attached a clothes hanger to one of her nipples, then the other. This woke her up fast. Right in front of her, Mikey waves the surprise he bought for Matty, a box of condoms.
"For the week my slut. I'm going to enjoy these." Matty closes her eyes. All the sensitive parts of her body are on fire. Mikey takes his time opening the box, and one of the condoms. Matty was falling back and forth from conscious to unconscious. The pain was too great for her. The visions she was seeing was of Mikey, first clothed between her, later he is not. She can feel every part of her body, then she goes numb. First the pain is all there, then it is not. She trembles, time flies and she is waken by the blood rushing back to her nibbles after the pins are removed.
Matty's legs are lifted by Mikey. WACK WACK "There's my nice little whore. Do you feel good about yourself now?" Matty can feel warm and cold liquid around her pussy and warm coming out. The first thought in her mind is if its hers or his. The second though is that she just had sex for that first time. It wasn't with someone she loves nor did she enjoy it.
"Tomorrow meet me in the shed again. Four o'clock, remember? Here's something new for you to remember. I don't want you wearing panties anymore, or a bra. I want easy access to you always. Understand?"
"Yes, Master."

Memorial Day
Picnics and beach outings are traditional to Memorial Day weekend, however let us all take time to honor the thousands upon thousands of men and women in the Armed Services who have given their lives to defend the freedom we take for granted.
On another sad note, yet another local soldier has been killed while serving in Afghanistan. Pfc. Joseph Graham Harris was serving a tour of duty with the U.S. Army when he was killed. He was only 19 years old and was listed on the Department of Defense website as a resident of Sugar Land
Last week I mentioned Spc. Dan H. Nguyen, 24, who was killed in an attack in Iraq. He was also a resident of Sugar Land.
And there was the recent death of John Waterbury, the 25-year-old Army specialist, who served as a crewman on an M1A1 tank, died in action March 14 in Iraq. He was from Richmond.
The list could go on and on. The one thing we need to do is pause this holiday weekend and say a prayer for these brave soldiers who have given the ultimate sacrifice and for their grieving families who lost sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers or sisters. Nothing can replace them and there is nothing that can be said that will heal the void such a loss has left behind.
I say thank you—for the military men and women who have defended our freedom and lost their lives; to the families who grieve; and to those who continue to serve our country both here and in war torn countries.
Regardless of how we feel about the war, there is a common theme among most Americans—support of our troops—and that should continue, without question.
Hebert and his crime spree
Fort Bend County Judge Bob Hebert may sound flippant when he discusses the recent fine he received from the Texas Ethics Commission. The fine was paid after he entered into an agreed judgment with the commission after it was determined that Hebert's decision to pay his wife for keeping the campaign books was indeed a no-no. But he is totally and completely embarrassed and probably has the fear that he will end up on the Star's "dumbest crooks" column.
He readily admits it was a call from our own B.K. Carter that prompted him to go to an attorney and find out if what he did was OK. Needless to say both Bev and the attorney agreed that Bob just couldn't and shouldn't do what he'd already done.
Now, if he were a bank robber, paying the money back wouldn't be tantamount to being absolved from charges, but luckily for Bob he is a politician and the rules, in most cases, are somewhat different.
Intent to violate a law often plays a big part in prosecution and punishment. And, if Bob really did intend to break the election code laws, he is a "stupid" crook as he laughingly claims to be. After all, he put it all down in writing and reported it—now how dumb would that be?
Bev has been policing the county for more years than any of us want anyone to know. Good job, boss—you got your man!

How to Take Bad News and Still Thrive
Submitted by marcwarnke on Tue, 01/26/2010 - 10:01
The economic times we are in are touching people's lives in a challenging fashion. I recently ate dinner with a Harvard Law graduate who felt lucky have landed a less than ideal job. In my personal circle of millionaire friends, six of them have already declared bankruptcy, and others I know are just hanging on by the skin of their teeth. continue reading...

Mother of 'Genderless' Baby Storm Speaks Out
Filed under: In The News
Kathy Witterick, the Canadian mother of the 4-month-old baby, and her husband, David Stocker, 39, sent an email to friends and family following Storm's New Year's Day birth, letting it be known just a select few -- including the parents, midwives, a close friend and the couple's two sons, Kio, 2, and Jazz, 5, would know Storm's sex.
"We decided not to share Storm's sex for now -- a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a standup to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime," they wrote.
The family has declined any interviews since the story grabbed headlines following a report in the Toronto Star May 21, but Witterick defends the decision in a letter to the Edmonton Journal, published May 30.
"I'm shy and idealistic, and all my life I've worked in the field of abuse and violence prevention," Witterick writes. "... Jazz is 5 years old. Since he was a young baby, he's enjoyed color, texture and vibrancy. ... As Jazz grew, his love of bright colors (especially pink) and lots of fabric (especially dresses) continued, and he wanted to grow his hair. The older he became, the more he met with pressure from peers and adults to adjust his image and 'act more like a boy.' Jazz remained committed to his own style."
Witterick writes that Jazz, while listening to "Free to be You and Me" soon before Storm's birth, began asking questions about how people would treat Storm should he, too, like to wear pink one day.
"There are these moments as a parent when you wish your child could bring a different issue to the table -- but there it is, plop! And if you really mean what you say about being kind, honoring difference, having an open mind and placing limits thoughtfully where they help children develop competencies and be safe, then you better walk the talk," she writes.
"We agreed to keep the sex of our new baby private."
Witterick writes that the family believed people would understand their decision, and that the global frenzy that instead ensued was a big surprise.
"The strong, lighting-fast, vitriolic response was a shock," she writes. "These voices demonstrate how much parents are in the world's critical eye -- in particular mothers, who are judged based on little (mis)information and not offered opportunities to share, grow, learn and be supported and celebrated by the community to raise children."
Witterick writes that the family has declined all interviews, but they want the world to know they did not ask their children to keep Storm's sex a secret.
"Secrets are not safe and healthy," she writes. "... If I had to convince my children not to share Storm's sex (which I don't because my children simply are not interested at this point) -- I would teach them that someone else's genitals and sense of how they relate to their gender is their private business, to be shared by them or in a context where safety, acceptance and sensitivity are paramount."
For now, Witterick writes, the decision of gender will be up to Storm.
"Storm is my third child and this is what I know -- some day soon, Storm will have something to say about it, so in the meantime, I'm just listening carefully."

christina said...thats what im saying she slipped up so no point in hiding it anymore
Lisa said...You're right and it's no secret anymore since she just said it in the letter to the paper. That was smart!
sue said...I don't know that I would go by what a kindergartener said. When a sex is unknown, wouldn't most kids say "he"?
x12code said...Like i said " I think the parents don't know the meaning of the word "Secret" and are confusing it with "publicity" or "propaganda"
karen4centrex said...No, I believe Jazz was referring to himself liking "pink" in that comment.
forum4women.com said..."As Jazz grew, his love of bright colors (especially pink) and lots of fabric (especially dresses) continued" Also shows that they were dressing the boy in pink and dresses before he was able to choose what he wanted to wear. Obviously, if you show any boy a plain pair of pants versus a colorful and pretty printed dress, he's gonna want to wear what is more colorful and playful. At least mine would. Maybe the parents don't want anyone to know the sex of the new baby, so they can dress him in pink dresses and no one will get annoyed with them.....
chinalilly2000 said...No. Jazz likes to wear pink. And he's concerned about what others will think if his brother Storm also liked to wear pink.
Shannon said...I feel sorry for the little boys because they will not be able to function well in society. They will not know how to get along with other people. Yes it is the parents right to raise their children their way, but perhaps they are being a bit selfish in this matter???? It has nothing to do with being gay or being Canadian. There are "different" people all over the world.
Joe Adams said...The baby looks like a boy. Just the information from the story, it seems they get boys but want girls.
nicole said...I'm in agreement with you, it's complete denial on the parent's part. Yes, we should give kids the choice of what they feel they should be, but pushing certain behaviors on them is ridiculous. These kids will be so confused as to who they are that it will be damaging them in the future, especially when our society is stuck in a certain mindframe.
brenda leavy said...He is absolutely a boy! At least he will have something concrete to blame all his problems on in later life.
MommyBunny said...I've thought from the get-go he looks like a boy, too, but maybe he's a hermaphrodite? That's all I can think of that would justify the "letting the kid choose it's gender". Because you're BORN a gender-- unless you're born with both.
Sang said...You're born with a *sex*. *Gender* is the social identity you fit into.
Heather said...I agree that the child is a probably boy, but I don't believe that they are specifically trying to turn their children into girls. If that was the case, they would have names that are specifically feminine (like Jennifer, Michelle, etc), and they would just tell people that their children are girls. What they are doing instead is allowing their boys to play with whatever toys they want and wear whatever clothes they want, instead of just shoving toy guns and trucks into their face and hitting them upside the head if they cry.
doberste5 said...Mentality. It's all in the mentality of the person. Some thrive on "good for nothing" causes.
Gene Raiti said...We live in a world that has enough problems as it is. Why in God's name would you want to burden a child with another thing people can harass them with?
vinnie said...And that is the thing. It is not the childs problem or the families problem . It is the ignorant people who will harass them. those who were brought up to be rude and intrusive by those who are rude and intrusive. If people would stop minding everyone elses business and stop worrying about eceryone elses lifestyle. and focus on their own messed up juvenile attitudes this would not be a newsstory. Just another couple trying to raise theie baby to not bend to gender rules.
Deana said...I really do not care what the sex of this child is. I also cannot believe it is getting so much attention. The siblings are going to call this child by its gender because how can you expect young children to understand what you are doing. Teach your children to just be themselves. Life is hard for all children even if they are not different. Stress today affects all children and to not let anyone tell the gender is just making your child stand out. I feel that this is what it is all about attention.

Spring training funds given a green light
By KYLE PARKS © St. Petersburg Times, published May 6, 2000 TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Legislature on Friday passed legislation that may help Clearwater and Dunedin keep Major League Baseball spring training. The House unanimously passed a bill that would give a combined $75-million in sales tax revenues to five Florida spring-training cities that are renovating or replacing their stadiums. Each city could get as much as $15-million. The legislation passed unanimously in the Senate on Tuesday and now awaits the signature of Gov. Jeb Bush, who hasn't said whether he'll sign it. Cities in Arizona and Nevada have courted teams in Florida's Grapefruit League, which has 20 teams playing at 19 stadiums. The Philadelphia Phillies, who train in Clearwater, and the Toronto Blue Jays, who train in Dunedin, could be prime candidates to leave the state if they get an offer that included a new stadium. Each city has an aging facility that needs to be upgraded or replaced. "This was one of my top priorities this session," said Senate Majority Leader Jack Latvala, R-Palm Harbor. "I think the bill hung around until the last minute just because people like to jerk me around." Legislators and lobbyists pushing the bill fended off a bid by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to make the bill retroactive so the Rays could get some of the money. The Rays renovated Florida Power Park, home of Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg, last year. "They tried to do it, but we told them no, it would kill the bill," said Ron Book, a lobbyist who helped steer the bill through the Legislature. To qualify for the money, a team must promise to stay in the facility for at least 15 years. The state would rank teams using several criteria: plans to build new stadiums would be given priority and consideration would be given to how long the spring training team has played in Florida. Clearwater, which has played host to the Phillies for 53 years and wants to build a new stadium, would rank high on the list. Dunedin, which wants to renovate its facility, has been spring home to the Jays for 23 years. "My constituents rang my phone off the hook on this bill," said Rep. John Morroni, R-Clearwater, whose district includes a part of Dunedin. "They weren't pitching the economic benefits. They just love baseball, and they don't want to lose it." Clearwater officials plan to apply for $7-million to help pay for replacing Jack Russell Stadium. The new complex would cost $17-million to $20-million. To get the state funds, the city must match the $7-million, which it hopes to do with city and county funds. In Dunedin, officials hope to spend about $3-million to renovate Grant Field and the Jays' practice facility. The city also would have to match the state funds it receives. Last year, Gov. Bush vetoed a bill that would have given Vero Beach more than $7-million to renovate its stadium for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bush said that was among a number of bills he vetoed because they lacked statewide impact. This year's bill would have an impact in five cities. If Bush signs it, cities would apply this fall, with selections made by Jan. 1. A study last year by the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council estimated that the nine spring-training teams in west-central Florida contributed $227-million to the state. Such studies often are criticized for how they estimate spending by fans, though. "This is not a handout for sports teams," Morroni said. "We will more than get back what we put in from the economic impact of the teams staying." -- Information from Times political editor Tim Nickens and Times files was used in this report.

Torment: Tides of Numenera
Torment: Tides of Numenera is a game set in the world of Monte Cook's new tabletop RPG setting, Numenera.Torment: Tides of Numenera Summary
Latest news
Torment: Tides of Numenera won't be affected by work on Bard's Tale 4, says inXile
inXile Entertainment says that work on its Planescape Torment spiritual successor Torment: Tides of Numenera won't be affected by the recently announced Bard's Tale 4.
That's because the studio is splitting up its staff into teams that will work on both of the upcoming titles, as well as the already released Wasteland 2.
Torment: Tides of Numenera gets new website, stretch goal and trailer
Torment: Tides of Numenera is sitting pretty on the respectable amount of $4,604,757 after a phenomenally successful Kickstarter campaign.
But developer InXile isn't done yet. The team has set up a brand new website for the spiritual sequel to Planescape Torment, and if you haven't yet backed the game you've got another chance to do so. Oh, and there's a new trailer too.
Torment: Tides of Numenera release date pushed back to late 2015
In news that probably wont surprise anyone who's been following its development cycle, the planned release date for InXile Entertainment's fantasy RPG Torment: Tides of Numenera has been pushed back to the fourth quarter of 2015.
InXile had planned for an early 2015 release, but continued development and delays on its other Kickstarter title Wasteland 2 has lead the team to readjust their target date.
Torment: Tides of Numenera delayed into 2015
inXile has announced that their spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera, won't be released til 2015, chiefly because the transition to production phase has been delayed due to Wasteland 2.
Torment: Tides of Numenera to adopt turn-based combat system
The results are in with turn-based combat scraping together more votes than real-time (pausable or otherwise), and so inXile Entertainment is going ahead with their preferred choice.
In truth turn-based only bested real-time by a single percentile; 48 to 47. The team calculated that nearly 20% of backers voted, double their expectations. End Turn.

Results tagged ' Sarah Palin '
Going Rogue? Or Going Crazy…
This Going Rogue business is mostly all about making money… right?
If that's the case, then great; I applaud thee, Sarah Palin. Sell your book! Make money! It's the US American way!
Unfortunately, reason tells me that ex-Governor Palin has a hard time separating fantasy from reality — that she is absolutely serious when she says she wants to play a major role in American politics — that she isn't going away anytime soon.
While she remains silent on any possible presidential plans, one must assume that is the ultimate goal.
And that is insane.
So too is her sheepish quip that she will run only "if people will have me."
Hmm. Perhaps Madame Palin should start by asking the people of Alaska if they will have her after she abandoned them and her gubernatorial post midterm. Or perhaps she should ask the people of Russia if they don't mind her looking at them from her living room. Or perhaps she should just take the money this book and subsequent tour will generate and run, run, run… back into relative obscurity — where she belongs.
We see this sort of thing in baseball all the time. Players come from out of nowhere. They shine. They burn out. They go away. Some quicker than others.
Mark Fidrych. Pete Incaviglia. Eric Gagne.
Remember, Sarah, remember. Remember Eric Gagne — a man who spent last season with the Quebec Capitales of the independent Canadian-American League. (Yeah, I've never heard of it either) Here's a man who, at one time, was more than just unhittable. He was mad, maniacal, morbid in his destruction of opposing hitters. He recorded 84 consecutive saves for Christ's sake! He was lights out! He was the master of the universe!
Now, the Brewers don't even want him.
And that is sad.
Go away now, while you can, Mrs. Palin… go back to the wilderness while you still have some inkling of pride. I will support you in that endeavor.
Hate me 'cuz I won't buy this book, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Sharing with Shapiro
Nevermind all that pre-NLCS/ALCS buzz dancing around the internets and such as, the Iraq! Soon we will all have more than our wanted fill of Joe Buck self-righteous proclamations and ear-numbing Chip Carary-isms. For now, let us focus on the larger, more looming and lurid task of finding the Cleveland Indians a new manager. Shall we?
Yep. John Farrell is no longer in the mix. They can't afford Bobby Valentine. And unfortunately, dear readers, Lou Brown has gone back to selling tires… forever.
That's why I, along with the fastidious help of our always reliable RSBS interns, have prepared a list of potential managerial candidates for Indians GM Mark Shapiro, whom we all know is too busy lamenting the contract of one Travis "I Ain't Got It No More" Hafner and the cruel reality of a midge-less postseason.
Mark, here is the shortlist of suggested targets:
Bill Parcells
Sure, the Big Tuna ain't no baseball guy; we know that. But he was born to win (and eat… a lot). Besides, just think of what hiring this former Cowboy coach could do for the long neglected and oft polarized relationship between Cowboys and Indians. Mark, it is time to heal these wounds.
Chief Illiniwek
Since being shunned and axed by his University of Illinois home (where he was a staple presence for 81 years), the Great Chief doesn't really have much to do but stay in and get drunk all day. Hey, you can get drunk at the ballpark too, Chief! Plus, having such a standard bearer of Native American tradition might help the Indians solve that whole racist image thing they've had goin' on for… y'know… ever.
Nap LaJoie
Oh, wait. He's dead. Never mind.
Earl Averill
He's dead too? Sorry.
Lou Boudreau
Whoops. My bad. Okay. No more dead guys of French descent.
Well, then that leaves me with just one more super managerial candidate for Mr. Shapiro and that person is:
Sarah Palin
Look, if you're gonna build a bridge to nowhere, ya might as well build it on the Cuyahoga River.
Hate me 'cuz I'm on point, all the time, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Hiney Bird Swap: A Tale of Two Teams & their Switcheroo
"A hiney bird is a bird that flies in perfectly executed concentric
circles until eventually he flies up his own behind and disappears
— Ken "Hawk" Harrelson
Prior to the 2009 season, one would not be in error by labeling me a bonafide St. Louis Cardinal Hiney Bird. Having not really addressed our bullpen woes of 2008, I seriously didn't think the Redbirds had a chance at achieving anything this season.
Obviously, I was wrong. And I've apologized for that.
I did, however, look forward to an exciting new edition of my neighborhood Chicago White Sox. And, yes folks, it does happen (albeit rarely): I was wrong… again.
But I have to go out on a limb and defend Kenny Williams from Chicago Tribune reporter Phil Rogers who blamed much of the White Sox's 2009 downfall on the trades of Nick Swisher and Javier Vazquez.
To quote the Hawk: "That's just B.S.! B.S.! That's just B.S.!"
Nick Swisher's 2008 stint with the Sox was abysmal at best. He underachieved in every category except rambunctiousness per game. He was a shackle on the Sox's youth movement and rumor had it that he was more interested in picking up chicks in the Viagra Triangle than he was picking up runners in scoring position.
Javi Vazquez never looked comfortable in the Chi. Sure he'd get ya lots of strikeouts, but he also gave up a bunch of runs; and with Gavin Floyd and John Danks on the horizon of being dominating starters, it made sense to move Javi (and his paycheck) to make more room.
But sometimes things don't always work out (see Sarah Palin's "political" career). The '09 White Sox have wallowed in mediocrity while the Cardinals are set to win the NL Central Division crown.
You see, dear readers, baseball is so captivating, so riveting, so followable because there is no such thing as a sure thing. So to all you Hiney Birds (me included) here's a lesson from possibly the world's worst broadcaster:
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Party's Over
Put your clothes back on. Cap off that fifth of Jack. Call yourself a cab.
The San Francisco Giants' perpetual playoff philandering is as done as Sarah Palin's political career.
It is sunk.
And just in case you need proof, here it is, written all over Nate Schierholtz's face:
Oh sure, we can sit around and discuss how their dominating pitching staff could possibly get them over the Rockies hump and into the wild card spot if only the offense could score runs. We could ruminate on the occasional power surges put forth by Pablo Sandoval and Bengie Molina. Indeed, we could waste a lot of time talking about the Giants in general.
But the point is this: Good pitching may beat good hitting but if ya don't score any runs you can't win a damn thing.
And that's why the Giants should be thinking about what kind of offense they are going to bring in during the offseason for 2010 and let the 2009 playoff dreams slip back down to reality.
Like most parties, it sure was fun while it lasted; but in the end you wake up and find the girl next to you isn't quite the supermodel you thought she was — that those aren't freckles on her face, those are… er… sores that you couldn't see during your drunken stupor of endemic idiocy the night before.
Or, you just get all excited about your big party and end up in the burn unit like this guy:
It happens. Parties end. Occasionally your hair will catch on fire.
Deal with it.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Happy Friday!

Coco Crisp = Comedy Gold, Part 3: The Day the Comedy Died
During this summer of über celebrity deaths and disturbing political failures, I have been very reluctant to address the most disappointing development of the 2009 Major League Baseball season. But alas, my faith (and patience) has finally come to a vitriolic end; and I have no other choice than to accept it:
Dear readers, the comedy genius of Coco Crisp is dead.
Perhaps it was always too good to be true — that the perfect storm of a fledgling, Twitter-happy, center fielder with the intelligence of a midge and a hapless baseball team touting the skills of Kyle Farnsworth would be enough to entertain me from now until October.
Indeed, it was good while it lasted. With his nonsensical, grammatically-challenged rhetorical tweets, Coco succeeded in technocracy where he failed as a Royal. But then he went on the disabled list and, finally, had season-ending surgery.
He tweeted a few times after he hung it up for the year; but sadly, he has not tweeted since June 24th and the absence of his familiar incoherency has left us all grieving.
On this day, Coco, we remember your last golden quip:
OK i officially
have a new (baseball) disease called PPA (Piss Poor Aim). Everytime i
hit a ball hard PPA kicks in. There has to be a cure.
There is no cure, Coco. If there were, well, you would've done much better than .228.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
**We tweet. And we like to think we can pick up the Coco-comedy slack. Follow us! @RSBS
The Milton Bradley of Politics
Well, what with all the festivities surrounding baseball's mid-season classic, it has been awhile since we checked in with our old friend Sarah Palin out in Alaska. Knowing her versatility and vitality, though, I'm sure she's doing well out there in the tundra……..she did what!!!!!?????
And she said what???!!
Wow. It's possible that Ms. Palin might just be the Milton Bradley of politics. I mean, how does a person go from a more or less coherent communications major and sports reporter to what can only be described as the political equivalent of "boom goes the dynamite?"
Honestly, I don't even know how to answer that question but what I will say is, "Ms. Palin, please don't ever stop doing that thing you do."
Sometimes in July
It happens on a regular basis, this gathering of young talent and grizzled veterans. The two sides (with input from the people of course because, after all, this is America) pull the brightest stars from their respective firmaments, bring them together and then allow them duke it out. And it seems like each time the result plays an increasingly ambiguous role in what eventually happens in November. Yep, that's what the nominating conventions are all about.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think I was talking about the All-Star game?
It's no coincidence that baseball and politics have so much in common. The two are intertwined in American history. Even now, Hall of Famer and former Detroit Tiger Jim Bunning terrorizes opponents from his seat in the US Senate just like he used to do from his spot on the mound.
And as I was watching the Minor League All-Star game the other day, I was reminded again of how fleeting fame can be to both baseball players and politicians. Each and every one is fighting for a chance to reach the big time, to really stand out. But it's hard to know who has what it takes.
A year ago there was talk of Mark Sanford as a possible McCain running mate and it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would be in the thick of things when the next election cycle began. Now, he's an also-ran, an afterthought, a cautionary tale. A teary-eyed Alex Rodriguez but with no more comeback.
Or take Sarah Palin, the politician's equivalent of Sammy Sosa. Both had talent but made it as far as they did for all the wrong reasons. Now they're little more than whipping boys, examples of all that's wrong with a broken system.
However, it's better to focus on the positives at this time of year, on people like Brandon Inge and Tim Wakefield who finally got a little respect even if things didn't play out exactly the way they might have hoped. Because, for all the ridiculousness associated with the All-Star game or with political conventions, they really are a good show and you aren't going to find anything like 'em except in the good ol' US of A.
Welcome back from the All-Star break!

My left knee can handle deep shoot the ducks alright, but when I actively trained for a lower sit spin position, the knee would bother me for the next day or two. No pains, just noticeable lassitude and sensitivity to changes in weather. My skating friends suggested knee support, e.g. generic knee brace from Walgreen's or bunheads. If you use knee support, what do you use and is it effective? Is it possible to use knee brace in conjunction with skatingsafe type gel knee pads? Would hinged knee brace be overkill? Also any off ice stretches you recommend before and after skating specifically for the knee? Potential knee problem is a deal breaker for my sit spin. I look forward to hear knowledgeable forum members' take on knee support. Thank you in advance!!!
I think anything to give your knee stability is a good idea. I would go to a physio just to get their opinion on it. See a proper sports physio, not a regular one.
Could it be the way you are aligning yourself during the spin? Are you doing something funky during your sit spin that you aren't during your shoot the duck? Also, keep up with any strengthening exercises that you are doing. Made a big, big difference for me when I really pushed the weightlifting on all of the muscle groups in my legs.
I agree with Lil Jen. It could be something you are doing as you go into the spin that strains the knee, since you don't have the same problem on shoot-the-ducks. Maybe the way you're swinging your free leg? What does your coach say about your sit spin technique?
I don't know if it relates to overuse? My coaches are aware that I cannot do more than 5 sit spins per session, and they did not point out anything unusual in my technique. I swing the free leg wide and high on sit spin entry while bending down, which could cause a little twist motion maybe? Did anyone see knee support in action?
I would recommend strapping your knee rather than a knee brace.... The muscles used to stabilise yourself in a sit spin are different from shoot the duck, so it is probably just a bit of weakness in the muscles. So keep doing what your doing and take it slow until your knee starts to develop a bit, also make sure you have done a good warm up... If no good after a few weeks then i agree with seeing a physio... also take your skates along to show the physio how it makes you bend, can help give your physio a wider view of the problem... Good Luck
Thank you! What warm up exercises do you recommend for stabilizing the knees, please? I'll totally look into taping/strapping, sounds like it won't interfere with knee pads. If I limit sit spin attempts to less than 5 per day, there are no noticeable issues. Guess that's what I'm sticking with at the moment. thank you again everyone, I'm all ears

Face To Face
Southern California's Face to Face was formed in 1991 by singer/guitarist Trever Keith. Debuting early the following year on the Dr. Strange label with Don't Turn Away, the trio was quickly snapped up by Fat Wreck Chords, which reissued the LP soon after. Adding second guitarist ... Chad Yaro, Face to Face toured relentlessly in the months to follow, recording a series of singles and compilation tracks collected in 1994 as Over It. When the song "Disconnected" became a local hit thanks to steady airplay on Los Angeles station KROQ, the group's profile grew considerably, and 1995's Big Choice, the groups sophomore release, increased the band's momentum even further. In the wake of Riddle's exit, bassist Scott Shiflett signed on for Face to Face's major-label debut, a self-titled release issued on A&M in 1996. The adventurous Ignorance Is Bliss followed in mid-1999 featuring new drummer Pete Parada. The following year saw Face to Face returning to their core sound with Reactionary. Through a promotion with MP3.com, Face to Face allowed fans to shape the set list for Reactionary by downloading snippets of the songs and voting which ones should make it onto the album. Nearly two million votes were received during a six-week period. Reactionary was released on June 20, 2000. The cover album Standards & Practices, which featured the band's own rendition of songs by the Smiths, the Pogues, Fugazi, the Jam, and others, was issued on Vagrant in early 2001. That year also saw the formation of Shiflett's side project Viva Death, which released its eponymous debut in September 2002. Meanwhile, Face to Face had joined the Dropkick Murphys for a split EP, and How to Ruin Everything, the band's sixth studio album, had appeared in March 2002. In fall 2003, Face to Face disbanded after 13 years and six albums. Two years later, the retrospective Shoot the Moon: The Essential Collection was released on Keith's Antagonist Records. During this period Keith went on to form the remix/electronic duo The Legion of Doom whose internet-only hardcore/emo/mashup phenomenon "Incorporated" was hugely popular and kept the duo in the top ranking positions on the myspace music charts. Keith also recorded a solo album and released a very limited number of CDs on his Antagonist label. In 2008 Face to Face reformed with Danny Thompson on drums. Their new album, "Laugh Now, Laugh Later" will be released in May 2011.

The first in-game footage for Chris Roberts' new space simulator Star Citizen has been revealed. A video posted to the game's already successful Kickstarter page shows off preliminary artificial intelligence for the high-end PC game.
Roberts cautioned that the video is rough. He said it is not representative of "anything that would be called final," adding that the final product remains two years away.
"The laser effects, explosions are all placeholders and there will be significant work done here, as well as some very cool shield effects I have cooking up in the background," Roberts said. "My goal with the visual effects is to use a lot the techniques and looks used in film work, which are now possible with DX11 and modern day PCs."
According to Roberts, the Star Citizen pilot AI will be the most sophisticated that he has ever attempted and will leverage the power of contemporary CPUs. In terms of specifics, the video footage was captured with FRAPS through a PC with an AMD Phenom 1090T processor, 8GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA GTX470.

Seven Children Injured In Boise Bus Crash
BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) - Seven children were taken to the hospital after a crash Friday afternoon.
Boise Police says 26 kids were on the bus at the time of the crash - all complained of pain, bumps and bruises. None of the children's injuries appeared to be serious, however. A Boise Police crash reconstruction officer was called to the scene and says the driver of the Camry and the school bus were both headed west on Front Street toward the Connector when the driver of the Camry suddenly turned left in an effort to turn south onto 13th Street. Instead, she ran into the rear half of the school bus, BPD says. The bus was full of 7th graders from Sage Valley Middle School in Nampa who were reportedly leaving Boise after a visit to the Discovery Center. The driver of the Camry, a 72-year-old resident of Emmett, was cited, BPD says for improper left turn. |
