What should we expect from democracy, and how likely is it that democracies will live up to those expectations? In The State of Democratic Theory, Ian Shapiro offers a critical assessment of contemporary answers to these questions, lays out his distinctive alternative, and explores its implications for policy and political action.
Some accounts of democracy's purposes focus on aggregating preferences; others deal with collective deliberation in search of the common good. Shapiro reveals the shortcomings of both, arguing instead that democracy should be geared toward minimizing domination throughout society. He contends that Joseph Schumpeter's classic defense of competitive democracy is a useful starting point for achieving this purpose, but that it stands in need of radical supplementation--both with respect to its operation in national political institutions and in its extension to other forms of collective association. Shapiro's unusually wide-ranging discussion also deals with the conditions that make democracy's survival more and less likely, with the challenges presented by ethnic differences and claims for group rights, and with the relations between democracy and the distribution of income and wealth.
Ranging over politics, philosophy, constitutional law, economics, sociology, and psychology, this book is written in Shapiro's characteristic lucid style--a style that engages practitioners within the field while also opening up the debate to newcomers.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Resentment is one seriously nasty byproduct of art-world success—not for the rare thriving artist but for still-struggling friends who get left behind and jealous. That festering envy—which can turn the famous and fortunate into tortured victims—lies at the (almost) homicidal heart of Mark Ravenhill's 2006 play pool (no water), performed ensemble-style by One Year Lease Company. A nameless top-selling artist who left the city for a large house with palm trees, servants, and—yes—a pool, invites a handful of her old creative pals to visit; a terrible accident leads her peers to combine caregiving with horrifying revenge.
pool makes a memorable tale, full of insight into the desperation and insecurities that sometimes drive the artistic sector. Ravenhill's engaging text does not assign dialogue to specific characters: five actors take turns speaking from the houseguests' various points of view. Director Ianthe Demos puts her nimble narrators in continuous motion on a nearly bare stage; the movement is overstated and busier than it needs to be, but the storytellers admirably command each tableau. At the drama's dark conclusion, they finally slow down and ease up, allowing us a long moment to contemplate just how destructive creative types can be.

OverviewO'Leary Group Campground was constructed in 2001 and is named for O'Leary Peak, which overlooks this site. The campground is designed to accommodate the special needs of large groups with everything from picnic shelters, tables and grills, to lots of level ground covered in native volcanic cinders, perfect for setting up tents.
Its proximity to Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments make it especially suitable for visitors who are intrigued by the cultural and natural history of the area.
Natural Features:
The campground sits on a bed of soft, flat volcanic soil amidst Arizona's ponderosa pine country. This area of volcanic activity is so unique that much of it has been set aside as Sunset Crater National Monument.
Most visitors spend time hiking, exploring and learning at the national monuments. Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments have visitor centers and feature self-guided and ranger-guided tours.
There are three group camping areas. The east and north loops can each accommodate up to 50 people, while the west loop can host up to 75 people. Camping areas are spacious. The facilities offer many amenities for hosting large group gatherings, such as electric hookups, trash collection and drinking water.
Nearby Attractions:
The nearby town of Flagstaff, Arizona, has shopping, restaurants and other conveniences.

Strengths: Has almost everything you need for the trail, including a pair of tire levers! Sturdy nylon pouch with fixer-thingy-attachy-point. Splits into two pieces for easier handling or using two tools simultaneously.
Weaknesses: Bulky, square turd fits awkwardly in my seat wedge. The fixer-thingy-attachy-point adds additional bulk to pouch. If you wanted to mount the pouch on the bike directly (which I wouldn't do because its just one thing to fly off in mad crash) you have buy the bracket (2 styles-stem or bar/post) separately. Doesn't include pliers.
Bottom Line:
Besides the bulkiness, the only lament I have is that it doesn't come with a plier tool and I was contemplating carrying a compact Leatherman for that purpose (more weight and bulk). But I guess Topeak has listened to customers and their new Alien DX Multi-Tool comes with a plier for pulling on cables during trailside repairs!
The Alien II can be had online now for roughly $25. The new Alien DX for $39.
Overall, if price and not having a plier along is more better for you, I would definitely recommend the Alien/II.
Otherwise, my choice would be the new Alien DX (which I will review when I finally receive it and put it to use).
At $25, the best value for what it does! Dropped a hot poop for missing a handy all-purpose plier tool.

Date Reviewed: August 31, 2007
Strengths: The thing has the exact amount of tools. I am a recumbent biker and it's equally fair with recumbents as well. There are not too many tools in the Alien, but all the possible nuts and screws have been considered before it was issued.
I don't fail on any; perhaps a canopener like the Swiss Wenger or Victorinox could do.
At this moment of writing the review I am considering to buy the DX. Strong would be a good wire cutter, but I read a review that that particular tool is not functioning properly.
Weaknesses: you can loose it.
Perhaps the plastic parts might have been given a bit more stiffness. For my tight 20"tyres, they bend a bit to much.
Perhaps the people of Topeak thought about the cranktool it to be used with some aditional help. I am not going to be negative on it but it may be a weak thing to use in practice: my cranks are just too tight with my pedals that I can open the thing.
Bottom Line:
I still try to find some good and most lightweight combination of tools but this Topeak Alien is most efficient. Perhaps an improvement on a reliable cable cutter would make sense?

In the eyes of Orange Grove, battle-hardened heroes remain forever young
Town honors former students serving through various efforts
CORPUS CHRISTI - ORANGE GROVE — The years and the wars drag on, but to the people of Orange Grove, the faces on the wall are always children.
No matter how grown up, no matter the horrors they've seen.
Even Colton Rusk's intent stare from beneath the visor on his Marine cap belies his youth in the photo on the wall just inside the front doors of Orange Grove High School. Someone attached a tiny wooden cross to the photo, the year "2010" etched into it.
It has been a year and a week since Rusk, 20, died in a firefight in Afghanistan. A little more than three years since Justin Rokohl, then 21, lost his legs after a roadside bomb blast.
Those events rocked Orange Grove, population 1,318, and thrust it into mourning, made the town's children suddenly aware of events far beyond the pastoral horizon and drew families and friends somehow closer than they already were.
Yet they were only one chapter in a long story of a small Texas town's bond with the uniform.
"This kid, he's a sniper now," said coach and history teacher Oz Gonzalez, pointing to a photo on the wall of photographs.
But he doesn't see Noe Alaniz peering through a scope on a rifle. He sees Alaniz popping up miraculously from the turf on the football field after getting smeared on a kickoff return.
"He had been knocked out. You're thinking, 'Aw crap, did he break his neck?'
"He popped up ready to go.
"Whatever you told him to do, he was going to bust his tail for you. If you told him to run through that wall, he was going to do it."
Another face on the wall, in a Navy uniform, is a teacher now, like Gonzalez. He points to another, a young woman with bright, wide eyes, smiling in an Air Force uniform.
"This girl here at one time was actually on Air Force One," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez started the Hometown Heroes Wall of Honor in the entryway of the high school around 2004. There are 47 faces on two walls. About a dozen more need to be added. All are local children who entered the military.
"Whether you know the family or not, it's important to see these kids are sacrificing," Gonzalez said.
Betty Box watched generations of children go off to war.
At 84, the woman who for 32 years taught first and second grade in Orange Grove schools now spends her days and some nights at the Orange Grove Area Museum. Box is the museum's curator and its most devoted volunteer.
Children come here on field trips to sit in front of the handcrafted dioramas and listen to Box's accounts of what life was like for German pioneers who settled the town.
Her lecturing voice holds pride and reverence for those early residents. But it's even more reverent in the one room unlike any other among the crowd of displays, donated antiques and artifacts.
Even the lighting is different in this room — bright, fluorescent, austere. The walls are lined with uniforms, medals, newspaper clippings, photographs and stories, often written by the soldiers themselves, of what war was like. There is too much to read in a day, or a week. It is one small town's semiprivate memorial, part temple, part study, tucked away in an old service station and cafe, but open to all.
"I just call them my kids," Box said.
She points to military photographs of men who once sat in her classroom and haven't been kids for 20 years.
Rokohl said his generation of Orange Grove military recruits were motivated by the Sept. 11 attacks, and the injuries to him and his friend Rusk reinforced the awareness and importance of service.
"I think it opened their eyes up a ton," Rokohl said. "I think Orange Grove is a small town, and we're one of the most military-supportive towns in Texas, and that's big because Texas is probably the biggest supporter of the military in the country."
He saw the support firsthand, not only while deployed, when he received regular care packages from Orange Grove, but also as he adjusted to life after the war and without his legs. A man from Orange Grove who runs an oil field supply company offered Rokohl a job when he struggled to find work.
"Everybody's always telling me how tough I am and stuff like that," Rokohl said. "Maybe I deal with it a little better than others, but I guarantee you 80 percent of what I do, working 28 days a month and not sitting at home moping, that's because of my town."
On a cool Thursday night in November, when the Orange Grove Bulldogs were hunting for a second playoff win, Mike Franke and two friends from the local VFW post hoisted the U.S. flag before the pep rally at Bulldog Stadium. Members of VFW 8920 have raised the flag at football games at least since Franke graduated in 1968.
"Orange Grove has always been deep with the military," Franke said. "Losing Colton, that just deepens the trust and the love they have for the military."
After the rally, people gathered for a spaghetti dinner and bingo night at the high school. Cheyenne Cobb, 17, and fellow members of the Family Career and Community Leaders of America organized the event to raise money for the Colton Wesley Rusk memorial fund. They sold 450 tickets in a school with enrollment of about 540. Rusk's parents said the money will go toward a scholarship for an Orange Grove student.
Cobb didn't know Rusk. He was a senior when she was a freshman. But she's the kind of person Gonzalez has in mind when he says he has seen students change in the year since Rusk's death.
"It's made me watch the news more and really understand what's going on in our world," Cobb said. "It didn't hit me until Colton died how young these people are, fighting for all of us. We're the same age they are."
Dillon Herschap, 16, said he hopes to join the Marines. He decided in the eighth grade.
Back then, he looked up to Rusk, and being in the Marines seemed cool. Now, Dillon understands the risks but said he also understands the importance of service more than ever.
He understands the legacy whose beginning is recorded in an old service station in town, whose newest chapters still are being written.
"We've had tons of hometown heroes," Dillon said. "He (Rusk) just opened up a lot of people's eyes. Mine especially. He had a ton of people that looked up to him."
Dillon, a defensive end for the Bulldogs, didn't want a stranger to have Rusk's number. So now it's Dillon who wears No. 76 as he charges out of the tunnel onto the football field, carrying the U.S. flag at the start of every Bulldog game.
"Colton knew what he had to do, and it was a sacrifice, and I kind of know it, too," he said. "I'm just ready to serve."
So Gonzalez may have another face to add to the school wall, to honor and hope for a safe return home.
He starts his classroom unit on World War I each year by showing "All Quiet on the Western Front," the Lewis Milestone epic from 1930. Told from the German perspective, it charts a young man's attitude from eager recruit to bewildered soldier struggling to reconcile blurred lines between moral right and wrong, friend and enemy.
"My kids now are looking at war with a more sobering perspective," Gonzalez said. "Maybe one day one of those kids is going to figure out the secret and stop all wars."

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: The owner of a bus, its driver and conductor have been arrested by the Vasant Kunj police on charges of beating up the driver of another bus following a dispute over timings.
Around 1-15 a.m. on Saturday, the police received information that an injured person had been thrown out of a moving car near Radisson Hotel. The injured, later identified as Naveen, was taken to Safdarjung Hospital. In a statement to the police, Naveen said he worked as driver of a bus plying on route No. 729 from Kapashera to Mori Gate Terminal.
Davender Singh, owner of another bus plying on the same route, its driver Om Prakash and conductor Satyavrat, used to have frequent altercations with him over bus timings. A few days ago, they threatened him again.
On August 4 night when Naveen was returning from his sister's house, Davender Singh, his brother Sanjay, Dinesh and Satyavrat allegedly intercepted him, forced him into their vehicle and beat him up. They then allegedly took him near Davender's office at Mahipalpur Pahari and beat him with hockey sticks. When he fell unconscious, they dumped him near Radisson Hotel.

SOUTH JEFFCO — Not smart: Using a friend's ID, then telling a deputy that you did not tell him your real name because you didn't want to be accused of impersonating that friend. However ludicrous, that's the excuse one woman used last week when arrested on an outstanding warrant. She was a passenger in a car that had been pulled over, and when asked to present an ID, she handed over a state ID card that belonged to a friend. Unfortunately for her, that friend had a warrant for her arrest, so the woman was taken to the Jefferson County Jail.
The man killed when his motorcycle collided with an SUV at South Simms Street and West Bowles Avenue on April 29 was fleeing from police, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
About 100 people jammed the meeting room at the Ken-Caryl Ranch House on Wednesday, April 23, for a sometimes-emotional debate over the proposed property-tax increase in the Ken-Caryl Ranch Metro District.
The district is asking voters for the second time in six months to approve a 2.5-mill increase from the current 12.709 mills. The mill increase was defeated by a 54 percent no vote in the November election. A 2.5-mill increase would cost the owner of a house valued at $500,000 an extra $100 a year.
The South Jeffco woman charged with three felonies in the theft of more than $100,000 from the South Jeffco Sports Association waived her right to a preliminary hearing April 22.
Carrie Smith will head straight to arraignment at 8 a.m. June 9 in district court, according to Tom Bennett, special projects director with the Jeffco DA's office.
Smith, 44, has been charged with theft of more than $20,000 and two counts of forgery by check.
Charles Morphew, Smith's attorney, did not respond to multiple calls seeking comment.
My friend has this problem …
A theft ring targeting Target stores in several states reportedly was disrupted Tuesday after an arrest at the Target on West Bowles Avenue.
Deputies responded to a theft report at the store April 22, according to the Jeffco sheriff's office. Store security took one male into custody and was seeking two additional suspects who left the store. Deputies found the other two suspects a short time later.
The suspects were identified as Amy M. May, 25, Jordon A. Debow 20, and Corey K. Cornwell, 23.
You started it
On a blustery Sunday in Clement Park, as people nearby played softball and soccer and flew kites, a small group gathered in the park's northeast corner to remember what happened at Columbine High School on the same day nine years before.
About 10 people were on hand as Nancy Dzurilla of New Life Church in Colorado Springs read Bible passages and shared thoughts and prayers for the victims of the Columbine shootings, their families and the victims of last year's Virginia Tech shootings. The first anniversary of the Virginia Tech tragedy was marked last week.
The Rock of Southwest Baptist Church came closer Tuesday morning to realizing its plan to add a two-story teen center building after a crucial vote of the Jefferson County commissioners.
After two lengthy public hearings, two of three members of the board voted to endorse a version of the March 26 planning commission decision approving an expansion from 26,000 square feet to about 48,000 square feet of floor area. The church argued that it had the legal right to build up to 63,000 square feet.
SOUTH JEFFCO — Start a fight. Participate in the fight. Head straight from the fight to the Southwest Plaza security office. Find out you were the one in the wrong. That sequence played out for one man last week, and a deputy told the pugilist he would not be permitted to press charges because he had started the altercation. The deputy watched a surveillance video that showed the man walking up to a group of men and exchanging words with them. This eventually led to an exchange of punches.

text: Hubby and I are planning a trip Jan 19-20th for our 7th anniversary. Any suggestions would help. We are AP holders. We are looking to making our first stay on property, maybe the moderate resorts category. Which would be the best choice? We plan on going to Epcot on the 19th and eating somewhere in the world. It would be great to have a table where we could watch Illuminations from if possible. ;) How early in advance do I need to make the dining reservations?

A Conversation with Diego Mulligan of KSFR's The Journey Home
With more than 5,000 interviews beamed from his KSFR microphone in the last 11 years, radio host Diego Mulligan is Santa Fe's King of Conversations. His drive time program from five to six pm five days a week is called The Journey Home. Anyone who thinks the show's title is just Mulligan's handle for helping harried commuters navigate their gas guzzlers from point A to point B misses a central truth about the man. For Mulligan, every subject has layer upon layer of meaning, even his own fascinating name.
SantaFe.com: Your name does sound like something from the casting department of a film studio. What's the story?
Diego Mulligan: I was adopted at birth and named David Mulligan. About 15 years ago, long after my adoptive father died, I discovered that my biological father's name was Diego. He came from an area of northern Spain called Galica, the oldest Gaelic kingdom on the planet. So I took his name as my first name.
SF: Have you had any contact with your father's family?
DM: No, I know nothing about him and haven't tried to find out. Some adoptive people pursue their biological families for different reasons but I haven't chosen to do that.
SF: On the subject of names, what's the broader meaning of your radio show, The Journey Home?
DM: It has to do with people finding their way to their own positive future. As an adopted man, I have always felt that one of my personal challenges has been to create my own home because as a young man it was a very difficult time for me growing up without the sort of normal family life one has. So there has been a consistent quest throughout my life in which I try to create home wherever I am. I have lived in many places around the world and the thread of my life is creating community and home wherever I am.
SF: What kind of people do you choose as interview subjects?
DM: People who know a whole lot more than I do about their particular subject. So it is a very easy task. As I have interviewed more and more people and learned more about them, I have discovered how little I really know.
SF: That's refreshingly modest for anyone in the field of communications. Are there any parameters for the subject matter you will discuss?
DM: In general I like to speak with people who either understand problems from a different perspective or who can present potential solutions to problems. Ordinarily, I like to talk to people about what is working in the world, and why. And if it's not working, then why not?
SF: Ever had any great surprises thrown at you on the air?
DM: I like being surprised and I don't try to control the direction of an interview as rigidly as most mainstream reporters do because I really like to find out what is at the core of people's passions.
SF: Ever been thrown for such a loop by someone on air that you were left speechless?
DM: Not speechless, but it almost happened yesterday when I was talking to a young Chinese girl whose father was among 3,000 Chinese who were tortured and murdered because of their religious practice of Falun Gong. This young girl sang a song in dedication to these people, including her father. I'm a fairly emotional person and that just about got me.
SF: Have you ever had to cut anyone off for bad language or subject matter?
DM: Not so much cut off but I have had to made amends when a musician or two came into the studio a little tipsy.
SF: So you've never lost control of an interview and wondered, "How did I get into this mess?"
DM: Losing control is not the end of the world. Sometimes university professors forget that they are not lecturing and when they get into that mode, I feel like, "I've got to interrupt this guy" and it can be a difficult thing to do.
SF: One of the recurring themes of your programs----as it is of your life---is a keen awareness of the environment and the need to live responsibly in communities as a way to respect the earth. Where did that all come from in your own development?
DM: When my mother and I moved from Florida to the Bahamas after she was widowed, I was thrown into global consciousness by many of the people there---explorers, mariners, others involved with the manned space flight program. But what really taught me an appreciation of ecology was joining the Underwater Explorers Society. The president at that time was Jacques Cousteau who came to the island frequently to do underwater filming. I basically got to schlep tanks and clean the pool but I developed a real love for the diversity of life in the ocean.
SF: Your bio refers to a defining moment concerning the environment. What was it?
DM: While serving as an air traffic controller in the military in Germany, I developed a very rare heart condition and underwent a long series of medical tests. I almost died from one of those tests. I survived the test, only just, but decided on that day to focus my attention on a whole new way of looking at the world through trying to understand how people are really supposed to live on this plant. That led to studies in community development and appropriate technology for sustainable living.
SF: How do you see that playing our in your life now, and particularly here in New Mexico?
DM: Our back to the land roots in this part of the country go back to the Pueblo Indians, or even further to the Anasazi. But Europeans got ahead us for a long time through their strong tradition of living in villages. The thing that got America off track was the big push for the suburban lifestyle as the pinnacle of American culture. That really did us a great disservice and separated all the components of life.
SF: Is that changing now?
DM: Oh yes. I think there is a much greater desire for living in community now. A lot of people don't even know what they have missed because for a several generations they were in this suburban lifestyle that was not a healthy living pattern. But many people are finding their way back now. Developers are starting to embrace the idea of mixed-used communities and that, along with the sustainability movement and green building options, are becoming more and more available and leading us back on track.
SF: Is this part of The Journey Home?
DM: Absolutely. Totally. This is the more physical journey home we are taking together. And it is important for people to recognize that within whatever neighborhood they live, they can create greater sense of community and sustainability right where they are.
SF: How does Santa Fe stack up in this effort?
DM: One of the reasons I moved to Santa Fe was because this city has been known as a center of artistic endeavor and healing, and when people go through a healing process and combine that with art, the next level is focusing on the common good in the community---looking outside one's self to the broader interest of community.
SF: Well, there's a plug for the arts in Santa Fe that the Chamber of Commerce probably never even thought of. Are there other cities in the United States tuned into this ideal as much as or more than Santa Fe?
DM: It's tough to say who is ahead and who is behind, but Santa Fe is actually positioned to be the place that integrates all of these ideas more holistically because we have a deeper culture of respecting the land that has been around for thousands of years. We have the opportunity to be the greatest model if we can focus our energy on it.
SF: You have two children, ages 23 and 16. Do they share your interest in saving the environment, or do they ever consider you just a little wacky?
DM: I think they secretly appreciate it while sometimes thinking of me as still a hippie, which I haven't been for many years. But you know the hippies got it right: They figured out sustainability, healthy foods and a kind of work ethic that balances life's purpose.
SF: What was your first job in Santa Fe after you moved here in 1984?
DM: I didn't have a job when I arrived but soon went to work for Unisun, a solar energy company. The company folded a few years later when the tax credits for solar energy were eliminated by Ronald Reagan. One of his first moves as president was to cut the solar tax credit. That was a major step backwards. Ronald Reagan was actually the first person I ever interviewed, as a college student in Virginia. I hate to say it, but I think he was one of our worst presidents.
SF: You were a self-confessed Republican in your youth until, in your own words, you "composted my rose-colored conservative credentials." Do you have any political biases now?
DM: I'm very independent in my thinking now and I won't support any candidate because of political affiliation. My bias is heavily, unabashedly weighted toward policies and people who are looking at the long-term consequences of our actions, not just the short-term bottom line.
SF: What turns you on most about Santa Fe?
DM: The unusual capacity for community service here. I am constantly astounded to meet so many people so seriously committed to various forms of community involvement.
SF: What turns you off most about Santa Fe?
DM: The unskilled, aggressive drivers. It's like driving in Cairo here, but worse.
SF: If the gods frowned on you and said you couldn't live here, where would you go?
DM: Galica, in northern Spain. My biological roots are there. It's a beautiful European backwater, largely unknown.
SF: Ah, but if the gods smiled and granted you any wish for Santa Fe, what would it be?
DM: For more of us to get involved in solving our collective problems, with more focus on the common good rather than on individual egos and agendas.

I realize that this item is about three weeks old. But I've been traveling, and I haven't seen or heard much news generally, to say nothing of specifically American campaign stuff. So I'm just getting to it.
But good grief. Can anybody plausibly deny that this story was essentially falsified?
It would be bad enough if this had been an official but overtly partisan Obama campaign ad. But MSNBC is, allegedly, a news outlet.

Background: We asked Spike Babaian for advice for novices - but it turned out she had already made a movie of her own!
Part 1: Switching to Electronic Cigarettes | Part 2: National Vapers' Club | Part 3: Anti-Smoker and the Electronic Cigarette | Part 4: John Banzhaf | Part 5 The FDA and Electronic Cigarette Research | Part 6: Advice for Novices | Part 7: Mainstream Vaping
ECD: What main piece of advice would you give a novice who is considering trying an electronic cigarette?
Spike: I had made a video back in about March or April of 2009 that's about 55 minutes but it answers nearly every question that a novice vaper would have or someone who want to try the product would have.
I've actually given e-cigarettes to people without this video and I have given e-cigarettes to people with a DVD copy of this video and I found that the percentage grading of people who are successful using the e-cigarette with an informational DVD that teaches them how to use it and how it works and all the different pieces and what everything is called makes a huge impact on people's ability to successfully switch from smoking cigarette to using an e-cigarette
ECD: Maybe you can give me the link later and I'll link it from the interview.
Spike: Absolutely.

Ceasing his restless walk up and down the room, Tom Swift
strode to the window and gazed across the field toward the
many buildings, where machines were turning out the products
evolved from the brains of his father and himself. There was
a worried look on the face of the young inventor, and he
seemed preoccupied, as though thinking of something far
removed from whatever it was his eyes gazed upon.
"Well, I'll do it!" suddenly exclaimed Tom. "I don't want
to, but I will. It's in the line of 'doing my bit,' I
suppose; but I'd rather it was something else. I wonder--"
"Ha! Up to your old tricks, I see, Tom!" exclaimed a
voice, in which energy and friendliness mingled pleasingly.
"Up to your old tricks!"
"Oh, hello, Mr. Damon!" cried Tom, turning to shake hands
with an elderly gentleman--that is, elderly in appearance
but not in action, for he crossed the room with the
springing step of a lad, and there was the enthusiasm of
youth on his face. "What do you mean--my old tricks?"
"Talking to yourself, Tom. And when you do that it means
there is something in the wind. I hope, as a sort of side
remark, it isn't rain that's in the wind, for the soldiers
over at camp have had enough water to set up a rival
establishment with Mr. Noah. But there's something going on,
isn't there? Bless my memorandum book, but don't tell me
there isn't, or I shall begin to believe I have lost all my
deductive powers of reasoning! I Come in here, after
knocking two or three times, to which you pay not the least
attention, and find you mysteriously murmuring to yourself.
"The last time that happened, Tom, was just before you
started to dig the big tunnel-- No, I'm wrong. It was just
before you started for the Land of Wonders, as we decided it
ought to be called. You were talking to yourself then, when
I walked in on you, and-- Say, Tom!" suddenly exclaimed Mr.
Damon eagerly, "don't tell me you're going off on another
wild journey like that--don't!"

Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition
Is it the D-Pad or Me?
Two days ago I was trying out TTT2, and I'm a natural born pro with Jin (been since T4). When I was trying to do one of his 236 moves I would only crouch! What's the deal? Is the Wii U Gamepad's controller just bad? Or is it me?
I can pull off every move with Jin in Xbox 360 T6.
285/300 BTs! After a year's worth of trying, finally got FAM!
Awaiting Resident Evil 6 and Zelda 3DS.
That doesen't work well on the Wii U because the controler is defaulted to be assigned to the 2D game pad cross and not the analogue that the Classic Controller pro has two of them... the 360 ver allows you to use it with the analogues.
Why Namdai did this I have no idea.
My PBR friend code is: 2105-7453-9147
You can map the analog sticks if you want. Go into button settings and click them down while pressing left/right on the d-pad.
Not changing this sig until Konami announces a US launch for Boktai 3. (See quote)
Started 11/21/05.
Oh wow that makes it so much easier thank you ^^
Why its not defaulted to that is beyond me... doing Jins moves is so much better with an analogue than a 2D analoge (The Gameboy type one)
My PBR friend code is: 2105-7453-9147

Property Details
Hotel, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 4 Sleeps
A romantic Queen Anne cottage by-the-sea, the Prince Edward was built for I. Leaming Sheppard in 1896. It is one of the jewels in Cape May's Victorian crown. This nineteenth century airy seaside cottage noted for its variety of original stained glass windows throughout the entire home. It includes what is believed to be the largest working stained glass window in Cape May. This window is the highlight of an elegant entrance hall.
The cottage has been beautifully restored and is operated as a guest house, offering one and two bedroom suites each with private baths. The sweeping staircase, high ceilings, old fashioned ceiling fans, Victorian baths and stenciling all add to the charm and elegance of this beautiful home. Each suite is furnished with nineteenth century antiques and decorated to give a warm Victorian ambiance.
The Prince Edward is located on historic Jackson Street in the heart of Cape May. It is on the beach block in between the beach and the historic walking mall.
Please visit princeedwardinn on the internet for more details.

Ideal location
The outdoor showers are typical and a nice spot to clean off the sand. I found that I just did my daily showers down there when I got back from the beach- not just sand-off. The parking area is tight but adequate. Note that they HAVE a parking area. That fact alone is significant. We found it very easy to leave our sandy beach chairs, etc in the back of our vehicle on the way into the suite and pickup on the way out.
The two flights of steps up to the suite was a bit of a bummer at move-in and move-out.
Our suite overlooked Jackson St. It was a little loud at night for my taste but, bear in mind we live way back in the country. If you're used to that sort of thing, it may not bother you.
The BEST thing is the location. Very easy walk to the beach. Just off the Washington St. Mall (great place for restaurants and shopping).
Overall, I would definitely say that I was satisfied with Prince Edward. I would consider returning if we would be looking for that type of situation again. My wife and I are more used to the luxuries of a B&B. We'll be heading further south for family vacations (OBX) and may only come back to Cape May for couples weekend getaway back at our B&Bs.

High Marks for The Prince Edward
Renee and Bob have a beautiful wrap-around porch that is a wonderful place to sit and read and watch people coming and going from the beach (1/2 block away). The porch swing quickly became my daughters favorite place to sit and read before going out to dinner.
We brought our bicycles with us and had a great time biking all over Cape May and were happy to discover that the town has extensive bicycle lanes running along many of the roadways. Renee and Bob have a very large garage on the property that is a great place for storing your bikes and beach equipment when you are not using them.
There is alot to do in Cape May! We were worried our 20 year old would get bored but, she had a great time going to the beach, shopping at the Washington Street Mall (1/2 block away and full of very unique shops and restaurants, including a very nice bookstore), bicycling to the lighthouse and trying out the numerous restaurants with us. Cape May has a very extensive Nature Conservacy program and they have different activities going on all day, every day. We went on a bird walk one morning and saw 10 Great Blue Herons! We were also very lucky to be in Cape May for the 4th of July - my husband and I have not seen such a beautiful firework display in years. It is fun to just walk around town viewing all of the different B & B's - they all look like they came out of the pages of a Victorian novel with their beautiful gardens and colorful gingerbread trims. We actually only used our car once the entire week, to go to the Cape May Zoo which was a nice morning trip.
Renee and Bob are very helpful and accomodating. If you need a restaurant suggestion, or directions how to get somewhere they are very happy to help. I only have good things to say about our stay at The Prince Edward -we liked it so much we have already booked the same week for next year. We used to go to the Outer Banks every summer but found that there is much more to do in Cape May without the long drive to get there (we are from upstate NY). It is a great place for families who like to do a variety of things or just sit on the beach and relax watching the dolphins.

"Overall, I am super impressed with this. The save the dates came exactly one week earlier than the promise date, and they are so awesome looking! It doesn't feel like a true postcard, with the shiny look and smooth feel, but it is pretty close. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier."

Women judges stir up old debate in Egypt
CAIRO When women tried to join the bench on Egypt's top administrative court, the uproar from its judges was fierce. Women are too emotional, they insisted - and who will take care of the family if the mother is busy with the arduous tasks of the courtroom?
In internet chat rooms, the response from Egyptian men and women was even stronger. Women are too fragile, they're not up for making life-changing rulings, and menstruation and pregnancy make them unfit to be judges.
It took a street protest, government intervention and a Constitutional Court ruling over the past weeks to get women appointed to Egypt's State Council court for the first time. The final result was a victory, but many women's rights advocates are dismayed that after decades of struggle it took such a fight, and that such views still run so deep, even among the country's elite.
Especially given that women have already been judges for years on most Egyptian courts.
"I was surprised and confused - why are we going back to square one to discuss something that is our constitutional right?" said Tahany el-Gebali, who in 2003 became Egypt's first female judge when she was appointed to the Constitutional Court, the country's highest judiciary body.
Egypt has a century-old women's movement, and women have long served as government ministers and business executives, doctors and other professionals - not to mention the large numbers working in factories, small businesses and household industries.
But the dispute illustrated how so far, progress for women in the workplace has not soaked down in the public consciousness to create a widespread change in attitudes - particularly at a time when many popular Islamic clerics on television and other media promote a message that women's roles are inherently different from men's, and more centered around family and the home.
The judges dispute centered around the State Council, which is the judicial body that settles legal cases brought against the government.
Twenty-five women applied to become judges on the council, but the body's general assembly voted in February to ban women from serving on the court.
Women's groups picketed the State Council, defending their right for the position. They argued that the women had passed all the necessary standardized tests to become council judges.
"They say their decision to ban women from the bench is out of compassion for us, they want to spare women the tiring, difficult work," columnist Amal Abdel-Hadi wrote in the independent daily, al-Masry al-Youm. "These judges have obviously not worked as a public school teacher, a nurse or a midwife."
"Thirty percent of homes in Egypt have women as heads of households," she wrote, "and the reality is that Egyptian women will even travel abroad, leaving their families behind, to find a way to feed them."
The council's supervisory body overruled the assembly on Feb. 22, and council chief Mohamed al-Husseini called the ban unconstitutional. That sparked legal action by the judges in the assembly to oust him.
Finally, the prime minister referred the question to the Constitutional Court. On March 14, it ruled that all citizens are equal before the law, and backed the State Council's supervisory body's jurisdiction over the issue.

Library JournalThe problems of German feminist thought today are, to some extent, rooted in the 19th century, the formative period of the modern German state. Not only did women find no encouragement to write and publish but they encountered barriers on their path, barriers more intense than in other Western societies of the time. Unlike women writers in Britain and France or their male counterparts in Germany, German women writers, with few exceptions, remain unknown beyond their national boundaries. Joeres (German, women's studies, Univ. of Minnesota) investigates the social and cultural predicaments of 19th-century German women writers and feminist thought--or the absence of it--in their literary works. This careful, well-researched title is highly recommended for academic and large public libraries and essential for women's studies collections. -- Ali Houissa, Cornell University, New York

Union Defence Minister A. K. Antony has urged legislators of the Kerala Assembly to read the writing on the wall and work together to regain the past model standards it had set for the country.
Inaugurating the valedictory function of the year-long 125th anniversary of the "Legislative bodies of Kerala" at the Legislative complex here on Monday, Mr. Antony came down heavily on the current trend of passing legislation in the Assembly without a thorough debate. "Passing legislation without proper debate is injustice being done to the coming generation and the public will have to suffer from the flaws that creep into the law," he added.History of the House
Mr. Antony, a former Chief Minister of the State, said it was the responsibility of both ruling and Opposition parties to ensure that greater time was devoted for discussions in the House.
The Union Minister reminded the legislators that there was a time when Kerala Assembly was known for path-breaking legislation it passed.
The Assembly had a reputation for keeping pace with social changes. Many of the socially radical and welfare oriented bills it enacted had set a model for the whole country.
"Could the same legislature make such a claim now?" he said.Collective effort
Expressing concern over the sharp decline in the number of days the House met in 2013, Mr. Antony said only through discussions can change be brought about in the State.
The ruling members, the Opposition and the Speaker should take the initiative to make the Assembly a model for the nation again.More jobs needed
The youth of today have a different dream and more jobs and infrastructure facilities are needed in private and public sector.
Speedy development and equality were needed. The time has come for a second Kerala Model of development.
The legislature should take up discussion in this regard and adopt a new style of working in the year ahead, Mr. Antony said.
Supporting the views of Mr. Antony, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy who presided over the function said no one wants to pass the Bills without debate. Tolerance and cooperation of all was needed for the smooth functioning of the House, he added.VS's opinion
Leader of Opposition, V. S. Achuthanandan, who delivered the keynote address, said the ruling coalition should take the lead to ensure that the House takes up serious discussion on the Bills. The ruling front should approve the role of the Opposition.
Speaker G. Karthikeyan welcomed the gathering and leaders of political parties spoke.
Mr. Antony felicitated 11 legislators who completed 25 years in the Thiru-Kochi and Kerala Assembly and 33 mediapersons who had covered the Assembly proceeding for 25 years.

...Many other antibiotics are based on small molecules that interrupting some metabolic process of bacteria. Bacteria develop resistance by making enzymes that will break down these small molecules once inside the cell. This new method attacks the outside of the cell directly, not something inside the cell. It wouldn't be impossible for bacteria to develop immunity to this, but it would be comparably very improbable.
It may be less probable, but not improbable. Bacteria are so abundant, reproduce so fast, and can have such high mutation rates that probability is almost always on their side. They also can develop resistance in many ways other than "making enzymes." The likelihood of them developing resistance is proportional to the selection acting on them. If we put this stuff everywhere, selection will be very strong. They will develop resistance.

"We were very pleased with the quality of the card we received. It looks exactly like it does in the digital proof. The colors are brilliant, and the print quality is very crisp. The standard paper is thick enough to stand up to mailing and display without creasing. The envelopes are smooth and creamy, and take the calligraphy ink very nicely. The printing/shipping was much faster than promised. Strongly recommend."
"This was my first order with this site, and I was very impressed with the speedy delivery of my Save the Date cards. They look just as nice "in person" as they do online!"
"I am so glad I ordered this card! The entire process was seamless-uploading pictures, chatting with a specialist before placing my order, having a professional edit my design, etc. By far one of the easiest things I have had to do for my wedding... I highly recommend this product and Wedding Paper Divas! I will definitely be a repeat customer!"
"These cards are absolutely gorgeous. The print is just delicate enough and the card stock was sturdy. I have gotten tons of compliments on them and am seriously considering purchasing the matching suite."
"I got tons of compliments on my save the dates! I really liked how once I submitted my design, someone contacted me and made sure it was everything I wanted.

Some majors have special degree plans geared toward students planning on attending law school such as Philosophy and Economics. The Political Science major also works closely with Pre-Law students as many of the required courses for a Political Science degree include topics related to the practice of law.
Planning for law school should begin as early as possible. Ideally, students will begin preparing their freshman year and work closely with their academic advisor. Baylor offers a number of resources to assist students with the planning process, including the student Pre-Law Guidebook.
Phi Alpha Delta is a student-led organization open to all students interested in a career in law. The purpose of the organization is to determine whether or not law school or a job in the legal career is right for them. The organization hosts LSAT prep events and invites speakers from a variety of fields to speak at meetings (past speakers have included district attorneys and prep course instructors).
The Baylor Law School is a large resource available to all Pre-Law undergraduate students. Each year they host several events that prepare students for the LSAT and the law school application process, such as pre-law boot camp, and Mock Trial competitions in which undergraduates can volunteer and gain experience.

A delicate balancing act
With booming economies, the countries of the region must now balance legitimate needs for development while safeguarding a natural treasure that is under growing threat.
This is why WWF takes a comprehensive approach to seek this balance in the region.
► New species discoveries
What is the Greater Mekong?The Greater Mekong spans Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern province of Yunnan in China. The landscapes of this vast area are just as diverse as the countries that it enshrines, from dusty savannahs to dense rainforests, and from slow-moving rivers to icy torrents.
Since 1997, over 1,500 new species have been described by science in the jungles, rivers and even urban areas of the Greater Mekong. This is in addition to rare species including crested gibbon, tigers, Mekong Irrawaddy dolphin and the elusive saola, described as the most remarkable large mammal discovery of the last 70 years.
The Greater Mekong also contains the largest combined tiger habitat in the world—540,000 km2 or roughly the size of France. But over the last 10 years or so, numbers of this amazing feline have crashed by 70% in this part of the world.
► About the Greater Mekong region
► WWF's conservation work in the Greater Mekong
A close human connectionFew places on Earth show such a strong link between human and ecosystem connectivity, as the Greater Mekong. The Mekong River basin accounts for up to 25% of the global freshwater catch, making it the world's largest inland fishery. It is a vital source of food and income for over 60 million people living there.
Protecting the Greater MekongThe unprecedented social and economic development of the Greater Mekong makes conservation work here especially urgent, significant—and hugely challenging.
We are spearheading efforts to protect species, encouraging sustainable forestry and non-timber-forest product management, helping communities and governments with climate change adaptation, and promoting the sustainable use of freshwater resources.
With offices in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, the WWF Greater Mekong programme is working with government, industry and NGO partners to secure a future where people's daily actions support biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources—the foundation upon which depends the Greater Mekong region's quality of life for humans.

ARKANSAS TOURISM NOTICE: Arkansas's Seven Show Caves Are Open to the Public
Due to floodwaters from recent rains, Millwood State Park is closed temporarily beginning May 12. This includes the entire park and all park facilities. The park's closure is anticipated to extend through the first week of June. However, it could extend further. Updates will be posted here as the park's reopening date (dependent on lake levels) is determined. For further details, contact the park at: 870-898-2800.
To contact the park: 870-898-2800
A series of boat lanes meander through submerged timber, marshes, and oxbow cutoffs making Millwood Lake a "tree-filled" fishing favorite. Famous for bass tournaments, this 29,260-acre lake abounds in largemouth, catfish and crappie. Spring and fall offer anglers great crappie fishing here, and catfish and bream fishing in summer. Bird watching is another popular activity here because of the lake's variety of year-round inhabitants that include eagles.
Park facilities include 105 campsites (29 Class AAA, two Class AA, 71 Class B, and three Primitive), picnic sites, a standard pavilion, self-guided nature trail, and bicycle trail.
A marina offers gift items, groceries, bait, and gas for sale, and fishing boats, canoes, kayaks pedal boats, and hydro bikes for rent. Slip rentals are available throughout the year. [Marina: 870-898-5334]
From junction I-30 and U.S. 71 at Texarkana, travel 16 miles north on U.S. 71 to Ashdown, then go nine miles east on Ark. 32 to the park.
To ensure you enjoy your state park experience, be aware of the natural world. There
are some areas which are potentially hazardous to all visitors. Since it is impractical
to post signs at all danger points, use caution when approaching such areas as cliffs,
caves, heavily wooded areas, swamps, streams, and lakes. Adults are responsible

We stayed at this park for almost a year. We paid the monthly rate of $380.00. Pros are that they are very convenient to Ft Leonard Wood and they have concrete pads. That is all the good I can say. Cons are that they are right next to the highway exit so you get a lot of semi traffic noise. You have to deal with people "partying" in the hotel. When the pool is open, it leaks into the RV parking lot creating a huge mess. The shower facilities are completely unusable and you have to go into the hotel for a shower. The internet only works about 50% of the time. The cable is very bad also. It only works well in the back in sites. All the pull through sites only get very weak cable signals. The sites are very narrow so you cannot use your awnings and there are no trees for shade. They have one washer ($1.75 per load) and two dryers ($1.00 per load) inside the hotel. Evening time and weekends creates a wait time to use the machines. Water pressure is very low due to leaks in the water lines in the ground. The hotel has recently been purchased by new owners so hopefully they will fix the existing problems. We left due to the management of the hotel stating that they were planning on raising the rates to $420.00 a month in January of 2015 and because they have not fixed anything since they have taken over. For the price they want, it is not worth it for us to stay there. If you are just staying overnight and don't mind sub par facilities, this campground is convenient to the highway and the Army post. We camped at Country Hearth Inn & RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here for the last month and a half. (Paying monthly rates) It is convenient to Ft. Leonard Wood for the last two months of work and daughter's last semester of college. Sites are all cement but close together. You cannot pull out your awnings. You are right next to I-44 so there is always traffic noise. Your view is the freeway and the hotel. There is cable included in the price. You can also walk up to the hotel for a shower and restrooms if you choose. I did use showers twice. There is also one washer ($1.25) and 2 dryers ($1.00) up at the hotel for everyone's use. They worked well, and we never had to wait for them. There is a convenient store/gas station right across the street if needed. Management is very helpful. We had a problem with the water, and they fixed it right away. This park worked well for our needs. We camped at Country Hearth Inn & RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Updating from our visit in January 2010. Stopped here again in late November since Boiling Springs was full. What an improvement in 11 months! New concrete pads, new hook-up posts that are the nicest I have seen, 20, 30, & 50 amp with a lighted post that can be switched off, and new water bibs. A nice overnight stop right off the interstate. We camped at Country Hearth Inn & RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.

We had planned on stopping at Boiling Springs Campground, but there had been snow that day and the lady @ Boiling Springs said the road in was impassable so she recommended Country Hearth just off the interstate. Campground was adequate for an overnight stop, but not much else. Campground is a flat spot behind a Country Hearth Motel, some of the water connections were frozen, electric went out in the middle of the night. It was however, an adequate place for a quick overnight stop in bad weather. Easy access off I-44. We camped at Country Hearth Inn & RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
