text: Diana Ross Throws Restaurant Tantrum Sources say she seated herself, but restaurant wouldn't serve her By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Jan 7, 2013 8:59 AM CST | Updated Jan 7, 2013 10:41 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (70) (Newser) – Diana Ross' latest temper tantrum happened at a Beverly Hills restaurant Thursday, sources tell the New York Post. La Scala refused to seat the former Supreme when she arrived for lunch, since its policy is not to seat incomplete parties unless there is a reservation—and Ross' daughter wasn't there yet. An irked Ross stormed to a booth and sat down anyway, leading management to come over and reiterate the seating policy. Ross was also told that if she insisted on staying in the booth, she would not be served, but she stayed put. When her daughter arrived, there was of course a huge scene and both women ended up leaving angrily, sources say. "I'm sorry that Miss Ross had a problem with [our policy] and she feels that the rules didn't apply to her," the restaurant owner tells the Post. "We treat everyone the same whether you're famous or not. We love having her as a customer. We'd be happy to have her back." (Another recent alleged tantrum-thrower: Britney Spears.)

| How do I burn multiple movies using Nero? Hi, I have encountered a few problems burning movies. When I use a dvd to burn multiple movies using Nero, it sometimes only takes the first movies (cue file). This morning however, it did not accept this. I choose dvd and then hit new and the window that pops up only allows for a cd compilation. Yesterday, it allowed me to do this. Also, I can burn multiple movies if they are already in a Windows Player format, but not if they are in bin/cue format. Can someone help me? thanks. |

| Re: How do I burn multiple movies using Nero? Hi shafling, thanks for your advice. I am trying nero vision and it seems to be burning - albeit very slowly - several hours to burn two movies. Is this normal or is there a way to speed it up. When I click on the cue file you are right, it does open in nero burning rom straight away but it is for cd only. When I try to change it to a DVD compilation by hitting new, it still goes back to cd format only. Any other advice? thanks. |

| Re: How do I burn multiple movies using Nero? Burn your cue file to image recorder first. Then try buring the resulting file in nero vision. It should work. I am in office this time will try to replicate it at home and get back to you. :-) About your burning speed, it depends on the max speed of your drive and the DVD or CD which you are using. If you are using CD-R it can be above 52X but your drive should support and if it is DVD it would be max 16X. At what speed are you burning? |

| Re: How do I burn multiple movies using Nero? Hi again, I've never burnt the cue file to image recorder first. Do you go into the recorder menu and choose burn image? Can you give me a bit of instruction on this. Ok re the burning speed, I'm burning another movie onto dvd now but the it is only a 1x-4x dvd. I checked speed setting in Nero Vision and it just says max - so i guess if I have a CD-R which is 1x-52x then it will be up to 52x? Does the integrity of the movies suffer when you burn it faster though? The other thing is when i used to burn through Nero burning ROM, I could stipulate overburning so that I could fit a bigger file on a CD of 700mb. Is this a feature available in Nero vision? Thanks so much for your help shafling, i really appreciate it. |

Hyperprolactinaemia is the term given to having too high levels of prolactin in the blood. (Normal levels are less than 580 mIU/L for women, and less than 450 mIU/L for men.)
One cause of hyperprolactinaemia is the presence of the biologically inactive macroprolactin in the serum. This can show up as high prolactin in some types of tests, but is asymptomatic. Another cause of hyperprolactinaemia is a prolactinoma, a pituitary gland tumor.
Hyperprolactinaemia is a common cause of menstrual problems in women, and high levels of prolactin can cause gynecomastia (breast enlargement) in men. It can also cause galactorrhea.
The hormone prolactin is downregulated by dopamine and is upregulated by estrogen.

I'm not going to argue the validity of any scientific studies, as I am not a scientist myself and this is not a black and white issue. I never said and don't believe all GMO food is bad and evil, yet, as I already mentioned I think consumers should be allowed to decide if they want to eat it or not and thus support GMO labeling.
Although I just pulled up that one article, my position that there are studies showing health problems from some of the GMO is based on a meeting of American Cancers Society a few months ago which I attended with my dad who is a Cardiologist and Internal Medicine doctor and member and part time speaker and cancer survivor. If you like, I can find out exactly which studies they presented and discused as I believe the Physicians there would be much better authorities on validity of studies than me or you. At the end of the day, the consensus among most of scientific community is that the time that has passed since GMO food has been out is not long enough to know what long term effects may be. I see you discounting the studies that have shown issues with animals tested, but keep in mind, animal testing is a standard for predicting human reactions. If I remember correctly, different animals are used to test different organs, for instance I believe pigs are used for digestive system related experiments. Also animals are used for their shorter life cycle because possible long term effects show up faster in them.
At the end of the day, The issue is not an all GMO is bad black/white type issue, but more of a grey issue and it seems the roundup ready crops are the ones that raise the biggest immediate concerns and there are studies already documenting issues.
Please do find the articles you mentioned from the meeting you attended as I am legitimately curious what the findings were. Alternatively, if you give me the meeting name/year I can just look up the abstracts and follow up that way.
The consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of GMOs being safe, but I'm curious about the cancer meeting you've attended. I've talked to many ag researchers on the subject, and I've read quite a bit of the literature, and I've found no evidence of bt crops/the process being unsafe.
I don't discount animal model studies at all - I discount the 2 studies your link quoted because 1 has been retracted from the article because the authors basically faked their results and the second used inadequate and terrible statistical methods and, according to researchers that actually study pig inflammation, used poor categorizing. They also published specific images (which you can see in this thread) that are incredibly bias and misleading because they didn't show the healthy pigs that also had bad inflammation. My problem is with THOSE studies, not with animal studies.
If you want to say there may be issues with pesticide X or Y, or that maybe growth hormones may be a problem, sure, fine, go for it. But to wholesale condemn GMO foods - and then link to an article that cites retracted and discredited scientific studies - is exactly the problem with this argument. I do not have a problem with GMO labeling but the anti-GMO crowd has done a good job at whipping up hysteria.
Frankly, I'd like to take labeling a step further. Why not label everything that isn't exactly as it occurs in nature? You'd be left with, what, blueberries? Heh.

Nine-goal thriller stuns Lennon
St Mirren manager Danny Lennon has told the club's fans to continue to expect the unexpected after Saturday's incredible 5-4 victory.
Steven Thompson's magnificent last-minute overhead kick earned Saints all three points over Ross County in a thrilling clash at St Mirren Park on Saturday.
Iain Vigurs opened the scoring for County after 10 minutes and despite Thompson's leveller in the 39th minute, Grant Munro restored the visitors' lead on the stroke of half-time.
Three St Mirren goals in the space of 10 minutes turned the game in the favour of the home side as Lewis Guy levelled from the penalty spot, Sam Parkin beat Michael Fraser to net the third and Kenny McLean drilled a low shot from outside the area into the bottom right-hand corner.
County refused to give up, however, and Rocco Quinn netted with 10 minutes remaining and again 90 seconds later to level the game at 4-4.
But as the clock approached the 90-minute mark, Thompson got on the end of Graham Carey's precise cross to beat Fraser in stunning style and earn St Mirren all three points.
"You play lovely football, you've got the fans at the edge of their seat and then, five seconds later, it's in the back of your net," said Lennon.
"That is us, and we will continually do that. That's what that performance was all about.
"It's a very, very difficult game to digest."
The St Mirren boss also hailed the impact of his second-half substitutes Parkin and McLean, who both hit the target against County.
"I thought the two subs that came on, it was written for them, that the two of them went on and scored two wonderful goals."
County boss Derek Adams was stunned after losing in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League for the second game in a row.
The visitors looked like they had done enough to fight back for a point before conceding a last-gasp winner and Adams is hoping the disappointment will spur his side on to another run of good form.
"That's the first time we've conceded five since we lost to Hamilton in Division One and we all know what happened after that - we went 40 games unbeaten so maybe it's an omen," said Adams.
"It was a very good start from us and we dominated the first half but we haven't done well enough defensively.
"All five goals we conceded were preventable so from that point of view St Mirren got out of jail when there shouldn't have been a way back for them after the first half.
"Of course, we should have taken a point after getting it back to 4-4. We've thrown away a point last week against St Johnstone and given St Mirren three points."

At the performance I saw, a row of young African-American men and women all but snored during much of the show, which reminded me that, even as white America has embraced Christian conservatism as a desperate antidote to spiritual malaise, many in the black community have turned away from Christian teachings. Hip hop, Farrakhan, and Afrocentrism have stepped in to serve that need. It's hard to say exactly how relevant New Arts Six and Black Nativity are to millennial black America, but the pure theatricalism of both transcends cultural flux.
Black Nativity runs through December 24. Call (214) 871-3300.

Most of the article describes the cruelty of pig farming, the stench associated with it, describes the fat cat of Smithfield farms jetting around in a private jet, desribes the authors experience when he went to a pig farm. About one page out of five discussed lagoon flooding and leaching into groundwater. Are you sure you read it?
Besides, you asked someone for one point of the article that someone had a problem with. I pointed it out. Fact is, industrial waste is nothing new and is not limited to people dying in pig sh*t. I guess I have a problem with the author. I agree lagoons are nasty nasty places, I've been to them. Have you?
I think I have more of a problem with improperly managed industrial waste than I do the author's "agenda."

"Baltimore woman disappears during family vacation" declares the headline. Forty-year-old Delia Grinstead is last seen strolling down the Delaware shore, wearing nothing more than a bathing suit and carrying a beach tote with $500 tucked inside. To her husband and three almost-grown children, she has vanished without trace or reason. But for Delia, who feels like a tiny gnat buzzing around her family's edges, "walking away from it all" is not a premeditated act, but an impulse that will lead her into a new, exciting, and unimagined life.
©1995 Anne Tyler (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Perhaps no one writing fiction today can so clearly evoke middle-age angst as Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Tyler.... Poignant, warm, and quirky." (Library Journal)
"A fine story of mid-life changes and newfound realizations." (Midwest Book Review)
"Not One Of Tyler's Best"
An unlikely storyline and characters whose actions don't ring true. I had to grit my teeth a few times to keep going with the story.
This is made worse by an irritating narrator who mispronounces so many words it becomes farcical. Why didn't anyone correct her?
I am a journalist who worked most of her career at The Associated Press in Chicago. I now live & work in Arkansas.
"Poor narrator, unlikely plot"
the narrator. she made every old person sound senile.
Not Anne Tyler, though I normally like her books. Just need a break.
Her voices except for the main character were awful. She strained to portray the friend whose husband died with a voice that sounded so fake. Her imitation of elderly voices sounded like something from a high school play.
NO. Also way too long.
This is the only Anne Tyler book that I've hated to date. I normally love her books, whether I read or listen to them.
"not worth it."
no. I like a book to add something to my life. Whether it's entertainment or something more. this did neither.
no. she sounds like a teenage valley girl.
no. not seductive or intriguing enough.
"Everyday waste"
This book is a pathetic story that leads to no comment except why.
There is no redeeming value to the books intent except to illustrate the mundane life of a woman.

I'm 19 years old, I live in North Carolina, I'm a Combat Medic in the North Carolina National Guard. My dream has always been a transcontinental cruise, particularly spending time in Greece, Japan, India, and South America. I joined the NCARNG so that I could begin my career as an Emergency Medical Professional, and save some money.
My questions begin in the vague planning of my time abroad. I really can't afford an eccentric plan with a yacht and 4 star restaurants on every continent, however I want to be able to do it without being miserable. So my first question is, what's the least expensive way to begin living aboard? Even if I were docked and living on a boat, I would rather be living on a boat off the coast of North Carolina than in an apartment. So is it realistic to consider calling docks about basically repossessed boats? Or would it be less expensive to consider using my time as a soldier to slowly construct my own cruiser? Perhaps just a used boat? Thank you so much for all your input!
Also, what is a good minimum size for a global cruiser for 2 occupants? 30' ?
I think your best bet, as others have mentioned is to buy a used coastal cruiser, live aboard, cruise on the weekends/vacations and finish your education.
If you buy something decent enough, you can probably sell it for at least 75% of your purchase price.
That being said, YOU have to decide what your budget is.
How much do you want to spend on a boat?
How much can you afford for monthly slip fees?
Yes, you COULD live on the hook, but it will complicate things.
i.e.: You are have to cram for exams and it's blowing 40 - 50 knots, raining and you have to keep an anchor watch all night. Good luck with your test, one night like this could blow a semester.
Life in a slip could mean hot showers every day, marina wifi, power for your laptop, etc.
If you are really lucky maybe you can find a friendly marina that will help you out by trying to rent your slip every weekend and you can hang on the hook or cruise.
IMHO If you shop around 7K - 12K should get you something decent enough to live on.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI), the fully-owned two-wheeler subsidiary of Japan's Honda Motor Company, on Thursday launched its 110cc bike 'CB Twister' to mark its entry into the mass bike segment.
To hit the market in February next year, the new bike will be available in three variants, with prices starting at Rs.42,000. The 9-bhp bike will give fuel economy of 70 km per litre. HMSI hopes to sell 2.2-lakh units in the next fiscal.
"We will continue to provide exciting products and lead the expansion in each two-wheeler segment. CB Twister is a perfect combination of new age style and unmatched performance with economy. With the latest cutting edge technology, the bike is bound to expand the 100-110cc segment further," said HMSI President and CEO Shinji Aoyama.
No direct competition
Mr. Aoyama, however, ruled out any direct competition with Hero Honda. "We do not expect any competition with Hero Honda. By introducing a bike in the entry level, we are in fact looking at extending the market," he said.
HMSI and Hero Honda, a joint venture between Honda and India's Hero Group, together enjoy a 65 per cent share in the 80-lakh unit two-wheeler market in India. The entry-level (100cc and 110cc) segment has a market of 40-lakh units annually. Referring to the scooter market where HMSI is a dominant player,
Mr. Aoyama said: "The scooter market is expanding more than the motorcycle market and it will continue to grow. With this our business will also grow and we will launch new models if demand arises."
HMSI is looking to increase overall two-wheeler sales to 12.5-lakh units this fiscal, from 10.5-lakh units in 2008-09.

My Ex Thinks Im Being Unfair **The Whole Story**
I think he should pay. Why are they coming to the celebration if its not important to them? If he wants his family to come party he should help out and pay half of the expenses it shouldn't be up to you especially if he wants his family to come and party. I am Hispanic as well I know how expensive our parties can be and to add on all those people it's going to be more money you have to kick out to make sure everyone eats, drinks and has a good time
If the baptism isn´t important to him and his family, as he said, then why does it bother him that they can´t attend? I think you´re right and he´s the one that´s being selfish!

The House Rules Committee will convene in an expedited meeting on Monday to consider a measure to repeal President Obama's signature health care reform law, according to a statement from the panel's spokesman.
Under committee rules, Monday's business is considered an "emergency" meeting because a hard copy of the introduced measure must be available to members of the panel at least 24 hours before a meeting. While the text is available online now, the bill is not expected to be introduced until Monday, said committee spokesman Doug Andres.
Last week, Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's office said the vote to repeal the health care law would be set for July 11.

Mariel Kerr, Wedding, Greenwich CT
"I just want to thank you for a magnificent performance on our wedding day. It was the perfect way to incorporate my Scottish heritage and everyone loved it- especially me!! I saw some great pics of various guests posing with you after Joe and I departed for the reception, further adding to the proof that everyone loved your performance. Thank you. You played no small part."
Kristin Harrington Georgina Shaw's Funeral, Milford CT
"Thank you so much for braving the traffic, snow, and frigid temperatures today. Your presence at my grandmother's funeral made it such a memorable and special day. My family and I were so thankful that you were able to make it. It is a real testament to you that you were able to get the pipes to play so beautifully in below zero temperatures.
Hearing the sound of the pipes made everyone
remember my grandmother's life rather than her passing. I was a nice
surprise to hear "Scotland the Brave" as you were leaving. Right after the
services we were all talking about how my grandma would have been tapping her
feet and humming to the music. Everyone was so impressed with how the
pipes sounded. I don't think any words could describe how much we
all appreciated how beautifully you played. You are a true

as I wouldn't hesitate to give you glowing recommendations."
Louis Gaudio / Erika Fuery, Greenmanville Church, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT
"Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day a truly special event. Louis and I could not have been more delighted to hear the sound of pipes as we approached the church. We have received numerous compliments regarding our ceremony and everyone has commented about how wonderful the bagpipers were. You are truly a professional and your presence helped make our day an incredibly wonderful and joyous occasion. Please feel free to use us as a personal reference as we would recommend your services to anyone without hesitation."
Tracy Castle / Andrew Newman , Kent CT.
"Both Andy and I had chills when you started
coming down the aisle to meet us playing Highland Cathedral. It gave me tears of
joy. Then as you reached the altar and did a quick turn and started playing
Scotland the Brave, we were filled with even greater joy. Both songs were
perfect and played so beautifully. It is one part of the ceremony that will stay
in my memory forever!"
Amy & Rico Calcitrai, Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield CT.
"You sounded perfect as
you played . . . You were very professional and nicely dressed,
extremely friendly and outgoing, and genuinely pleased to offer you
services for our special day.
Thank you very much for helping to make our wedding day the happiest day of our lives!! I would like to provide my email address, email@example.com so anyone would like to contact me for a recommendation, I would offer one with no reservations" Amy & Rico Calcitrai |

Peanut butter looking for jelly
When you're Asian, everyone likes to guess your race like it's a game show. I'll give you a moment to think about your answer… Yes, that's correct! I'm 100% Chinese. I came to the US when I was 8 years old and got my citizenship when I turned 18. I'm proud to be an American which means that if anyone starts a USA chant, I'll definitely join them. Its been a few years since i graduated from college and I consider myself very fortunate to have a good job in a bad economy. I work in a corporate environment which unfortunately is a dull place where laughter is hard to find, but a great place to be sleep deprived and stressed. Right now I'm doing my "grown man" thing which is going to work and being responsible by paying the bills. For fun I like to see improv comedy or stand up shows, because I love a good laugh. When I'm not looking for laughter, I like to challenge myself by learning something new whether its cooking, baking, or finding new types of workouts. I've also never thought I'd enjoy dancing, but I've taken salsa classes and It's a lot of fun. I'm getting some good exercise and learning some awesome moves. I'm basically the type of person that's not afraid to try anything once...except skydiving or anything that involves bears, no thank you. As much as I'm enjoying life now, I am looking for that special someone who share similar values and interests as me. Everything is just much more enjoyable when the right person is by your side. If you think we have something in common and also would have a good time together, send me an email.

Evan Rachel Wood Reveals She's Bisexual
"Yes," she proudly told the magazine. "I grew up in love with David Bowie. So I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls... I'm into androgyny in general."
The 23-year-old actress confessed she tends to take the lead when she's dating women: "Yeah, I'm more kind of like the guy when it comes to girls. I'm the dominant one... I'm opening the doors, I'm buying dinner. Yeah, I'm romantic."
After talking about her dating life including her relationship with Marilyn Manson ("I think one of the things that freaked people out so much is that we looked so different,") Wood also addressed her reputation. "I'm constantly changing, I'm constantly growing. I think I'm a little controversial? ... I just try and keep some mystery, so hopefully people can't really put their finger on it."
Wood recently made headlines after filming an extended nude scene for 'Mildred Peirce,' an HBO series also starring Kate Winslet.

This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (July 2010) |
The Curse of Peladon is the second serial of the ninth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 29 January to 19 February 1972. It is the first of two serials to be set on the planet Peladon, in which Alpha Centauri appears and the Ice Warriors.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2008) |
The planet Peladon, led by its young King, is on the verge of joining the Galactic Federation, with the delegates ready to make the final decision. However, High Priest Hepesh is opposed to the change, warning that the curse of Aggedor — the Royal Beast of Peladon, whose spirit is worshipped by the people — will visit doom upon them all if they give up the old ways. As he is about to inform the other delegates of the arrival of the delegate from Alpha Centauri, Chancellor Torbis leaves is killed in the corridor by a large, ferocious beast that vanishes as quickly as it appears; the killing is witnessed only by Grun, the mute King's Champion.
The TARDIS materialises on the edge of a cliff below the castle, the surprising result of a test flight. The Doctor and Jo Grant barely leave the ship before it tumbles over the edge of the cliff; The Doctor reassures Jo that the TARDIS is indestructible, but they will need help to retrieve her so they begin a climb towards the castle above.
Meanwhile, the delegate from Alpha Centauri, a hermaphroditic presents itself in the throne room, where Peladon informs it of Torbis' death. This news agitates the highly-excitable alien, who wants to cancel the conference. On the side of the mountain, the Doctor and Jo find an entrance which leads to a network of tunnels beneath the castle. They hear the distant roar of an animal, and find a shrine containing the statue of a giant, fur-covered creature with a single horn and wicked-looking claws.
Alpha Centauri meets the delegate from Arcturus, a tentacled head in a glass dome mounted on a mechanised life-support box. When told of the potential danger, Arcturus warns Hepesh that, although the Federation eschews violence, they are capable of using it in self-defence. To demonstrate, Arcturus destroys a vase with an energy weapon mounted on its box. Hepesh says that Peladon only desires their friendship, and returns to the king.
Peladon reminds Hepesh that when his father died, the boy king refused to take the throne but Torbis and Hepesh convinced him to, and his mother, an Earth woman, allowed it. It was Torbis' dream for their planet to join the Federation, and Peladon asks for Hepesh's support to fulfil it, but Hepesh says he will not trust the aliens. Peladon asks for the delegates to be brought to him, so he can convince them that his people are not the primitives the Federation think they are.
The Doctor and Jo find a concealed way out of the tunnels.Once through, the Doctor spots a familiar, hulking shape, an Ice Warrior, and ducks back to hide. The two are discovered by the palace guards, who take them to the throne room, where the other delegates are gathered: Alpha Centauri, Arcturus, the Ice Lord Izlyr and the Ice Warrior Ssorg. The delegates had been discussing the curse, based on Aggedor. The prophecy says that when Aggedor's spirit returns, a stranger would also appear who would bring great tribulation to the planet. As this is said, the Doctor and Jo are brought before the King. Izlyr mistakes the Doctor for the delegate from Earth, and the Doctor does not disabuse him of the notion. The Doctor claims that his "shuttle" crashed, and his credentials lost as a result. He asks for help in recovering his ship, and Hepesh says that it will be arranged. When Hepesh points out Jo, saying that only men of rank or noble personages are allowed in the throne room, the Doctor introduces Jo as the "Princess Josephine of TARDIS", a neutral royal observer from Earth. The young King seems quite taken with Jo.
As the assembly brings the Doctor up to date on what has transpired, Grun surreptitiously starts to loosen a heavy statue of Aggedor placed above the corridor outside the throne room. When the Doctor is taken to the conference room to debate further, the statue topples over. The Doctor manages to push Alpha Centauri and the Ice Warriors ahead of him, saving their lives. Arcturus and Jo were lagging behind. Grun gets away unnoticed as the delegates discuss once more if the conference should continue. Hepesh blames the ghost of Aggedor, but Peladon reminds him who is king. Jo, at a nod from the Doctor, finds her way to the ledge where the statue once stood, and finds a small electronic component there.
Peladon assure the delegates that there is no plot. The Doctor takes them away, but Peladon asks Jo to stay behind. He tells Jo it is difficult to find someone in whom he can confide and that his mother was from Earth. Peladon asks her to believe him, and she replies that she does. He asks Jo to speak to the delegates on his behalf. Jo accuses Peladon of only wanting a political ally and leaves. Hepesh tells Grun that the failure of the sabotage with the statue was not his fault, merely Aggedor's mercy. Hepesh prays to Aggedor and tells Grun to destroy the Doctor.
The Doctor examines the component Jo found and identifies it as an electronic key, possibly for a spaceship. It's made of trisilicate, which is only found on Mars, the home world of the Ice Warriors. His previous experience with the Ice Warriors makes him suspect that they are behind the sabotage; Ssorg's strength could have easily shifted the statue. At that moment, an alarm sounds; rushing to investigate, the Doctor and Jo find Arcturus, his box smoking. Someone has removed the servo mechanism to his life support system, and while the Doctor tries to repair the damage, Jo goes to look for the missing mechanism in the delegates' quarters. Arcturus recovers, but cannot remember who attacked him. Grun comes along and motions for the Doctor to follow him, while Hepesh secretly watches.
Jo locates the mechanism in the Ice Warriors' chamber, but is found by Ssorg. He locks her in and goes to tell Izlyr, who is speculating to Alpha Centauri that perhaps the Doctor is responsible, cementing a secret alliance between Earth and Peladon for its mineral deposits by means of a royal marriage. His suspicions appear confirmed when Ssorg tells him that the missing mechanism has been found with the "Princess". Jo, in the meantime, has climbed out a window and is working her way along a ledge. She moves back into the corridors, and, frightened when she sees the Aggedor beast, runs straight into Izlyr and Ssorg.
Grun leads the Doctor to a secret passage to the tunnels, but runs away when they hear the roars of the beast, which starts to pursue the Doctor. The beast having now vanished from the corridors, Izlyr does not believe Jo when she says she saw it. Jo accuses Izlyr of the sabotage, but he points out that removing the mechanism would only have induced a metabolic coma in Arcturus, not kill him. He explains to Jo that the Ice Warriors were a warrior race once, but no longer believe in violence except in self-defence.
The Doctor finds another way out of the tunnels, into the room which holds the shrine of Aggedor, where he is discovered by Hepesh and Grun. They forcibly escort him to the throne room, where Hepesh accuses the Doctor of sacrilege. Peladon, although distressed, has no choice but to sentence the Doctor to death. Unfortunately, Federation articles state that the delegates cannot interfere with local laws, so they are powerless to intervene. Izlyr suggests a royal pardon, but Peladon cannot pardon sacrilege. However, over Hepesh's protests, the king offers an alternative: as the Doctor is a delegate and thus a man of rank, he can undergo trial by combat, a duel to the death with the King's Champion. The Doctor, now knowing Hepesh is behind it all, is taken away to await the combat at dawn.
When the delegates leave, Jo pleads with Peladon once again to pardon the Doctor, but Peladon maintains it was his duty to sentence the Doctor. Peladon proposes marriage to Jo, who greets the proposal with incredulity. Jo does not understand how Peladon can condemn the Doctor one minute and ask her to marry him the next, and leaves. In the Doctor's cell, Hepesh tells the Doctor that his "shuttle" has been recovered. Hepesh has no wish to see him dead, and offers him an escape route. The Doctor is sceptical, believing Hepesh just wants an excuse to kill him while escaping. Hepesh draws the Doctor a map, and in answer to the Doctor's questions, explains that he believes the Federation will exploit Peladon for its minerals. The Doctor says that joining the Federation will free them from superstition, but Hepesh counters that he is not alone in this.
Jo also tries to convince the delegates to intervene, but although Izlyr agrees that the death of the Doctor (as the delegate from Earth) will mean war, they cannot. Alpha Centauri and Arcturus both want to leave, in case hostilities do break out. Jo leaves in disgust, but Izlyr explains to her in private that all votes must be unanimous by Federation law, and Izlyr has voted to stay and save the Doctor, to repay him for saving Izlyr's life outside the throne room earlier. However, Arcturus has used a listening device to eavesdrop on the conversation.
In his cell, the Doctor fixes a spinning mirror to his sonic screwdriver and pockets Hepesh's map. He leaves, following the marked route to the tunnels. Izlyr and Ssorg find the Doctor gone, and suspect he has been eliminated. In the tunnels, the Doctor encounters the beast again, and using the mirror as a hypnosis device and singing the strains of a Venusian lullaby, calms "Aggedor" down. However, Jo finds him at this point and uses a torch to frighten the beast away, to the Doctor's frustration.
In the throne room, Hepesh tells the King that the Doctor's absence is proof of guilt, and he will hunt the Doctor down. The Doctor and Jo appear, and the Doctor tries to tell the King about the reality of Aggedor and how it is being used to sabotage the conference. Hepesh dismisses the talk of secret tunnels, and orders that the Doctor be taken away to face Grun in combat. The fight in the pit starts with spears and ends with hand-to-hand combat, but eventually the Doctor is victorious, and spares Grun's life. Arcturus powers up his energy weapon, preparing to fire. Ssorg opens fire with his own rifle, killing Arcturus, as Hepesh slips away with another guard. The others now realise what is going on: Hepesh was behind the planting of the trisilicate key on the ledge and the placing of Arcturus' servo mechanism in the Ice Warriors' quarters. The attack on Arcturus was faked, and Aggedor is one of the few remaining wild beasts that were the source of the legend, trained by Hepesh to pose as the "spirit of Aggedor" when Hepesh needed it. As Arcturus and the Ice Warriors are ancient enemies, it would be simple now to accuse the latter of murdering the former's delegate. Hepesh must have made an agreement with Arcturus for Peladon's mineral deposits in exchange for his help, as Arcturus' planet lacks minerals. However, to replace Hepesh might result in civil war. The Federation allows for interference in crisis situations, but Alpha Centauri is still uncertain. While the delegates argue, Hepesh is gathering his own forces to take the throne room by force, but reminds them that the king must not be harmed. Grun tries to persuade Hepesh from this course of action, but is defeated by Hepesh's men. Eventually, the delegates vote unanimously for intervention, with Alpha Centauri's vote under protest. However, they are unable to communicate this vote to their orbiting ships, as their communicators in their rooms have been smashed by Hepesh and his men. The Doctor finds Grun, and they make their way into the tunnels to find the Aggedor beast. There, the Doctor tames Aggedor again, and leads it away by its horn.
Hepesh's forces have taken the throne room, and hold the king hostage. Hepesh tells the king that he will live, as long as he goes back to the old ways. Hepesh then leaves to fetch the delegates to the throne room. Once gathered, Hepesh tells them to leave the planet and tell their governments that Peladon does not want to be part of the Federation. Suddenly, the Doctor arrives with Aggedor, accusing Hepesh of betraying the king. The guards are awed by the appearance of the legendary beast, but Hepesh denounces it. To prove that it is not the spirit of Aggedor and it is he who controls it, Hepesh orders Aggedor to kill the Doctor. However, the beast turns on Hepesh instead, inflicting a fatal wound before the Doctor manages to call it off. The High Priest dies in the king's arms, murmuring that he might have been wrong, but that all he wanted to do was save Peladon. The king weeps, but pulls himself together. He pardons the rebel guards, and drapes a cloth to cover Hepesh's face.
As the court prepares for the king's coronation, the Doctor shows Jo where the TARDIS is being kept after its recovery by Hepesh's men. He muses that it was no coincidence that they landed here at this crucial moment in Peladon's history; the Time Lords must have steered the TARDIS here, so the ship is still not within the Doctor's control. Aggedor arrives, having grown attached to the Doctor, and he leads the beast away as Peladon himself comes to speak with Jo. He asks Jo to stay, but she protests she is not even a real princess. This does not matter to him, however, and he will talk to her again after the coronation; he does not intend to give up.
The Doctor returns as Peladon goes to be crowned king. He asks Jo if she really wants to leave, and Jo says sadly that she had better. They will watch the coronation then quietly make their exit. On their way, however, they nearly stumble on the real delegate from Earth, who is being told by the other delegates what has happened. "What Doctor? Doctor who?", the Earth delegate asks, as the Doctor and Jo decide that it would be best if they left quickly. They rush back to the TARDIS with the delegates following close behind. Before the delegates' amazed eyes, the police box-shaped time machine dematerialises.
In The Monster of Peladon, the Doctor returns to Peladon with a new companion Sarah Jane Smith, 50 years after the events of Curse. The Doctor has also returned to Peladon in spin-off media. In the Fifth Doctor audio The Bride of Peladon, the Doctor's companion Erimem marries the new king of Peladon. In the Seventh Doctor novel Legacy, the Seventh Doctor manipulates events to convince Peladon to temporarily withdraw from the Galactic Federation to keep it safe during an upcoming war with the Daleks. The Third Doctor Companion Chronicles story The Prisoner of Peladon is told by King Peladon, with David Troughton reprising his role for the first time.
The Doctor sings a Venusian lullaby to Aggedor (the words first used in The Dæmons) to the tune of the Christmas carol, "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen";[1] a 1994 Virgin Missing Adventures novel by Paul Leonard featuring the First Doctor was titled Venusian Lullaby. Iris Wildthyme also uses the Venusian Lullaby to little effect in The Claws of Santa.
The story was broadcast during the 1972 UK Miner's Strike, which led to many parts of the UK undergoing scheduled power cuts. This may account for the drop in viewers for the last two episodes. According to the DVD notes for The Peladon Tales this industrial action partly inspired the sequel The Monster of Peladon.
During production it was noted that Alpha Centauri had a somewhat phallic appearance. So director Lennie Mayne insisted on the addition of a yellow cape to the costume in an attempt to rectify this.[2]
Working titles for this story included The Curse and Curse of the Peladons. The original 625-line master videotapes of the serial were wiped around 1975. In the late 1970s, 525-line NTSC copies were returned to the BBC from Canada. The tape of Episode Three was in a very poor condition and a salvage transfer to 625-line was made in 1982 for a repeat of the story; the NTSC tape was then reported junked. As a result it was feared that it might not have been possible to make a new Reverse Standards Conversion (RSC) of the episode. However, the tape of Episode Three had not been lost but had instead been given to Ian Levine; Levine then lent the tape to the restoration team. After heat treatment, the tape was used to create a new RSC 625-line videotape digital copy.[3]
Cast notes[edit]
David Troughton is the son of Second Doctor actor Patrick Troughton.[4] He had previously appeared in Doctor Who as Moor in The War Games (1969), and he would appear in the revived series episode entitled "Midnight" (2008). Geoffrey Toone previously appeared as Temmosus in the film Dr. Who and the Daleks.
The story can be seen as a "political satire" about the real-world issue whether Britain should join the European Economic Community, with the alien delegates representing foreigners, King Peladon representing a younger generation of hope in agreement with joining the Federation, and Hepesh, who wants to preserve the status quo, representing the decision to not join.[4] An allegory can also be drawn to the conflict of religion and science.[5]

Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping, in The Discontinuity Guide (1995), described The Curse of Peladon as "dull, but worthy".[9] In The Television Companion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker praised the inventiveness and individuality of the aliens, as well as the change of the Ice Warriors from evil to good. They concluded that it was "a hugely enjoyable story, and one of the real gems of the third Doctor's era".[10] In 2009, Mark Braxton of Radio Times called the story an "exciting, elegant four-parter". He praised Jo and the various aliens, though he felt Aggredor was less successful and would have been better if he was bigger.[1] DVD Talk's John Sinnott gave the serial four and a half out of five stars, writing that it "has everything that a fan could want: some interesting aliens, old adversaries, a solid mystery, a good amount of action, and a healthy dollop of humor". He praised the character of Hepesh and effort gone into making the aliens unique, but felt that the King was the weakest aspect as he was not a good leader, which made the romance with Jo not as believable.[5] The A.V. Club reviewer Christopher Bahn stated that the serial was a success in returning to an "old-fashioned" format, but the murder-mystery genre was not fully realised, with the Doctor not figuring it out and Hepesh taking up most of the fourth episode.[4]
This story was repeated on BBC One (excluding BBC Wales) as two 50min compilation episodes on 12 and 19 July 1982 as part of "Doctor Who and the Monsters".

Hi! Nice to meet you. We are a loving bonded pair who recently lost our home because our mom could no longer keep us. Our names are Emily (the beautiful spayed female black and white dutch!) and Rustle (a tiny little 1.75 lb neutered male Netherland Dwarf!). We are both young happy bunnies!
We are both very friendly and we love to be the center of attention... and then you will become the center of our universe. We both have so much love to give.
We would love to meet you!
A note from our foster mom:
"Rustle loves to dance, and Emily loves Rustle (she grooms him and loves him!). Rustle also frequently grooms Emily, which is very cute to watch as he is such a tiny little thing, about half her size. The both adore fresh greens and bounce about in happiness when it's 'treat time!' "
"Bunnies Gone Bad: The 7 Deadly Sins" is a wickedly funny and amazingly realistic portrait of the rabbit psyche.

Highway Infrastructure:
Federal-State Partnership Produces Benefits and Poses Oversight Risks

What GAO Found
Over the years, the federal-aid highway program has expanded to encompass broader goals, more responsibilities, and a variety of approaches. As the program grew more complex, the Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) oversight role also expanded, while its resources have not kept pace. As GAO has reported, this growth occurred without a well-defined overall vision of evident national interests and the federal role in achieving them. GAO has recommended Congress consider restructuring federal surface transportation programs, and for this and other reasons, funding surface transportation remains on GAOs high-risk list.
FHWA benefits from using recognized partnership practices to advance the federal-aid highway program and conduct program oversightsuch as clear delineation of roles and responsibilities between FHWA and its state partners and formal and informal conflict resolutionthat are recognized as leading practices. FHWAs partnership approach allows it to proactively identify issues before they become problems, achieve cost savings, and gain states commitment to improve their processes.
FHWAs partnership approach also poses risks. We observed cases where FHWA was lax in its oversight or reluctant to take corrective action to bring states back into compliance with federal requirements, potentially resulting in improper or ineffective use of federal funds. For example, while FHWA has made it a national priority to recoup funds from inactive highway projectsprojects that have not expended funds for over 1 yearFHWA officials in three states we visited were reluctant to do so because of concerns about harming their partnership with the state. In other cases, FHWA has shown a lack of independence in decisions, putting its partners interests above federal interests. For example, FHWA allowed two states to retain unused emergency relief allocations to fund new emergencies, despite FHWAs policy that these funds are made available to other states with potentially higher-priority emergencies. In some instances, FHWA became actively and closely involved in implementing solutions to state problemsthis can create a conflict when FHWA later must approve or review the effectiveness of those solutions.
If proposals for a performance-based highway program are adopted, FHWA would have to work with states to develop measures and take corrective action if states do not meet them. FHWAs partnership could help states develop measures, but it would need to mitigate the risks posed by its partnership to ensure corrective action was effective when needed. The fundamental reexamination of surface transportation programs, including the highway program, that GAO previously recommended presents an opportunity to narrow FHWAs responsibilities so that it is better equipped to transition to a performance-based system. GAO identified areas where national interests may be less evident but where FHWA expends considerable time and resourcesareas where devolving responsibilities to the states may be appropriate.
Why GAO Did This Study
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provides about $40 billion to the states annually to build and maintain highways and bridges through the federal-aid highway program. While this program has grown and changed over time, the federal-state relationship has been consistently one of partnership since 1916. DOTs FHWA has offices in all 50 states that have developed close working relationships with states. Legislation approved by the Senate in March 2012 would establish a more performance-based highway program, introducing performance measures for highways and bridges and requiring FHWA to monitor states progress in meeting those measures. As requested, GAO examined (1) how the federal-aid highway program and FHWAs oversight have changed over time; (2) the extent to which FHWAs partnership approach produces benefits; (3) the extent to which FHWAs partnership approach poses risks; and (4) how FHWAs partnership with state DOTs could affect a transition toward a performance-based highway program. To do this work, GAO conducted site visits and a survey, reviewed relevant documentation, and interviewed FHWA and state officials.
What GAO Recommends
For more information, contact Phillip R. Herr at (202) 512-2834 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Open
Comments: As of February 2015, Congress has not yet considered narrowing FHWA's responsibilities. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), which authorizes surface transportation programs, will expire in May 2015. Congress will be developing legislation to reauthorize federal surface transportation programs during 2015.
Matter: As we have previously recommended, Congress should consider reexamining and refocusing surface transportation programs, including establishing well-defined goals with direct links to identified federal interests and roles. Based on this review, there may be areas where national interests are less evident and where Congress may wish to consider narrowing FHWA's responsibilities.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In 2012, GAO reported that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) benefits from using recognized partnership practices to advance the federal-aid highway program and to conduct program oversight. FHWA's partnership approach allows it to proactively identify issues before they become problems, achieve cost savings, and gain states' commitment to improve their processes. GAO also noted that FHWA had good oversight practices that complemented its partnership, for example, by using an independent, third party review by National Review Team (NRT) during the implementation of the Recovery Act. However, FHWA's partnership approach also poses risks. We observed cases where FHWA was lax in its oversight or reluctant to take corrective action to bring states back into compliance with federal requirements, potentially resulting in improper or ineffective use of federal funds. In other cases, FHWA has shown a lack of independence in decisions, putting its partners' interests above federal interests. GAO reported that, given that partnership produces benefits, the solution does not lie with eliminating FHWA's partnership approach. Rather, a strategy built around leveraging the strengths of the partnership approach while managing its risks could provide a better way for FHWA to verify the states' use of federal funds. Therefore, GAO recommended that the Secretary of Transportation direct the FHWA Administrator to develop a strategy based on the NRT model to mitigate the risks associated with its partnering approach. In March 2014, FHWA announced an enhanced risk-based approach to its stewardship and oversight of the federal-aid highway program. This approach included adapting the NRT model by establishing data-driven compliance assessments, centrally coordinated by an independent team to ensure transparency and consistency. Additionally, FHWA's approach incorporates enhanced oversight of projects of elevated risk using a consistent set of criteria. While not explicitly targeting the risks of partnership with the states, FHWA's approach addresses the overall intent of the recommendation by enhancing oversight of the federal-aid highway program through an independent team's role in compliance reviews as well as risk-based project oversight. As a result, this approach has the potential to be an effective vehicle to mitigate risks associated with partnering between FHWA division offices and state DOTs.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Transportation should direct the FHWA Administrator to develop a strategy based on the National Review Team model to mitigate the risks associated with its partnering approach with state DOTs, while maintaining the strengths that the partnership approach brings to the program. This strategy should address existing risks and, if Congress directs FHWA to move to a performance-based system, partnering risks that could affect the successful implementation of such a system.

Detroit Metro Airport Tower Due for Mold Cleanup
The Federal Aviation Administration is to remove toxic mold from the air traffic control tower at Detroit Metro Airport next week.
A union official said the plan is flawed and won't do enough to fix a mold problem the administration discovered in September. The issue prompted an inquiry signed by nine members of Congress.
The FAA is paying MIS Corp. of Saginaw $25,000 to replace drywall on the fourth and ninth floors of the tower to remove the mold, said FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro.
The project should take five to six days. Work will take place between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., he said.
Vince Sugent, president of the union local that represents 41 air traffic controllers, said there are problems with the administration's plan, including the federal agency's expectation that employees will stay in the tower during the cleanup.
"We want this thing stopped and done properly," said Sugent, of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. "The mistakes that they're going to make are paramount."
A cleanup plan such as this can be carried out with air traffic controllers in the tower and pose a minimal risk to employees, as long as the contractor contains the atmosphere properly, said Dr. Michael Harbut, chief at the Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine in Royal Oak.
But Harbut said: "Air traffic controllers with any history of allergy probably ought not to be working, just as a matter of safety."
If the controllers were to vacate the tower, they would have to work in an older tower by the Smith terminal that was used in January during an earlier cleanup attempt.
The FAA's plan also does not address a union office on the 10th floor, where the union's own tests detected mold.
The FAA said it has not detected mold in the tower cab, where controllers work.
But during the past few months, Sugent said, air traffic controllers have been complaining about stuffy noses and dry and itchy eyes.
"The job before us now is for everyone to work together on an agreed-upon plan that fully ensures the health and safety of the workers in the Metro Airport control tower. Our air traffic controllers work hard to protect the flying public; they certainly deserve the same care," said U.S. Rep. John Dingell. The Democrat from Dearborn was one of the nine members of Congress who signed a letter asking about the situation.
It has taken the FAA more than seven months to deal with the tower's mold problem.
The January attempt to spray the mold prompted an evacuation of the tower after controllers complained of nausea, lightheadedness and headaches.
The people on duty that day were evacuated for about five hours and worked in the Smith terminal tower until later that evening.
"We took it really slow to make sure everyone knew exactly what was being planned," Molinaro said.
In its response to the congressional letter, the FAA wrote that it canceled its first request for bids in December because of "excessive cost and disparity between bids," and rebid the contract.
The union worries that the FAA is cutting corners. So far the administration has spent at least $15,900 on the mold problem in the tower, Molinaro said.

McClure, Miles Homer Early in 12-1 Rout of Rhode Island March 1, 2014 LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech pushed across 10 runs off two Cassie McClure home runs and a two-run shot by Kierra Miles in the first inning Saturday en route to a 12-1 run-rule over Rhode Island at Rocky Johnson Field.
McClure hit a three-run bomb to start Tech (12-6) off in the first and then followed later in the inning with a grand slam to help give the Red Raiders their most runs in an inning this year and their most since plating 16 exactly one year ago against Jackson State. McClure ended the first inning with seven RBI, finishing just one shy of the Tech single-game record. She nearly added her third home run of the game in the third but her long fly ball to center field was caught at the warning track. Tech built a 6-0 lead off Miles' two-run homer and a bases-loaded walk to Lea Hopson before McClure connected on her grand slam, which was the second for a Red Raider this season. The successful bottom of the first marked the first time Tech recorded three home runs in an inning since Mikey Kenney, Sandy James and Adriana Perez combined to do so on March 16, 2012, at Seton Hall. It was more than enough run support for Brittany Talley (5-0), who remained undefeated on the season after taking a perfect game late into the fourth inning. Talley retired the first 11 hitters she faced before Stacey Fox sent a roller up the middle for Rhode Island's first base runner. McClure replaced Talley in the circle as she'd pitch two-thirds of an inning before Mattison Maisel, making her collegiate debut, recorded the final two outs in the fifth. Rhode Island (1-6) starter Caitlin Kennedy (0-3) suffered the loss for the Rams as she gave up nine runs off four hits while walking four in two-thirds of an inning. She was relieved by Sam Bedore, who could only manage to record an out before Cassie Baker came in to close down the Red Raiders over the final three innings. Bedore allowed three runs and four walks in one-third of an inning, including a two-run home run to Sydnie Tapia to start off the second. It was Tapia's second home run of the season, matching her total from her 2013 freshman season. Rhode Island's eight walks matched the season high for a Tech opponent this season. The Rams finished with just two hits off the Tech pitching staff as Jocelyn Mattison connected on a RBI single in the fourth.

The Canadian-designed and -built hydrofoil HMCS Bras d'Or could operate at high speed, running on its partially submerged foils.
At higher speeds, the foils projecting below the ship lifted the Bras d'Or clear of the surface, greatly reducing the drag caused by moving the ship's hull through the water. At such times, the front foil steered the ship, while a gas turbine engine (centre) provided power for the propellers mounted in the rear foil that drove the ship through the water at speeds of up to 60 knots (110 kilometres per hour).
