More than 500 people flocked to the public tour of Smith-Cotton High School on Monday night.
The Sedalia School District 200 Board of Education hosted the event to give the public an opportunity to see the 225,000-square-foot building.
Sedalia resident Ursula Harris brought her 15-year-old daughter, Kourtlyn Henderson, to the tour. ōI wanted to see if IÆm getting my moneyÆs worth,ö Harris said.
Harris, a full-time student at the University of Central Missouri, said she loved the practicality of the stained concrete floor but thought the color scheme was drab.
ōThe colors are dungeon-like,ö she said.
The white walls werenÆt appealing to Harris either.
ōKids donÆt want to go to school anyway,ö she said. ōI was hoping for brighter colors, but maybe the kids will be able to put their mark on it.ö
While the decor didnÆt meet HarrisÆ standards, the technology and athletic equipment did. Harris said she was impressed by the massive library, which is flanked by two computer labs. She also was awed by the fully-equipped weight room located off the gym.
ōThat weight room is better than we have at college,ö she said.
Susan Bell, a 16-year-old junior at Smith-Cotton, said she is looking forward to beginning her science classes in the new state-of-the-art labs. Bell, who hopes to become a neurologist was also thrilled by the library.
ōOur library at the old high school was so small,ö Bell said. ōIÆm so excited about the technology at this school.ö
The new science labs hold six lab tables with computer hook-ups, an emergency shower and eye-wash station, and a space for students to sit at desks during lectures.
Bell was also a fan of the weight room and said she hopes it will be available to all students and not just athletes.
Sedalia resident Shirley Morley said she joined the tour because she is interested in education. Morley said the gym and weight room were impressive and the concrete floors were a good idea.
ōI would have liked to see happier colors,ö she said, ōbut the building is very impressive.ö
Sue Nutt also came out of curiosity. Nutt said her daughter graduated from Smith-Cotton in 1987, but she was interested in the new facility. Nutt said she was overwhelmed by the size of the high school.
ōThis school is much more than I thought,ö Nutt said, ōand IÆm surprised by all the rooms.ö
Janet Steen, who retired from the school district after 34 years as a secretary, said the school was awesome as well.
ōTheyÆre going to need to hold an orientation for the students so they donÆt get lost,ö she said.
Superintendent Harriet Wolfe, who led a tour of about 20 people, showed the visitors where work has begun on a track and where practice fields will be created behind the building. Wolfe said the new fields are intended for practice only.
ōWe donÆt intend to leave Jennie Jaynes Stadium, she said.
Soccer, softball and baseball teams will all have practice fields at the high school, Wolfe said.
ōI wasnÆt excited to start school,ö Henderson said, ōbut now I am because I canÆt wait to see how everything fits together.ö
Sedalia students begin school Sept. 8.

Born: March 31, 1937
Originally from Manhattan, Elli Fordyce is a highly accomplished vocalist and actor. She has performed all over the New York Metro area and other U.S. and North American cities, including an appearance in the New York Cabaret Convention and in various festivals. Elli also has numerous acting credits: Film — September 12th, TV — Cappelle's Show, and Live Theatre — Guys & Dolls.
Prior to returning to New York 32 years ago, Elli took time away from her musical journey. The first was to devote herself to family, and unexpectedly, the next after a devastating accident on a snowy highway en route to a gig when the car carrying her quartet and equipment crashed into a disabled truck. A successful year-long Elli Fordyce And Her Favorite Things tour ended abruptly, leaving scars of several kinds. Soon after, Elli stopped singing for 15 years (Not even to sing Happy Birthday, not even in the shower) and focused firmly on much needed physical and spiritual healing....

My plans for summer ...
It'll be summer here in Australia!
Trouble is our summers have turned into monsoon season over the last couple of years
From hearing the News about the weather/climate in Australia, I have come to expect one of three major things to be happening:
Of course 3 neighbouring towns can be experiencing each one of these
From hearing the News about the weather/climate in Australia, I have come to expect one of three major things to be happening:
Add Earthquake and you have the 4 California seasons.
I thought the seasons were reversed in Australia. Cold snowy summers, and hot sunny winters, no?
NZAU may have cold snowy third quarters and hot sunny first quarters perhaps, but the cold snowy season is still called "winter" and the hot sunny season "summer". I'm just tired of media publishers and the like saying that something is slated for a "winter" release when they mean "first quarter".

Trying to find a full time job.
More than I usually travel.. so I voted "Grand adventure". Everything is relative.
. . . for me, that is work . . .
I was going to comment "then maybe you are doing it wrong", but then I noticed the OP said "two weeks". Traveling around Europe in just two weeks would be quite a job since all you would be doing is traveling with no time to do anything else. I'd consider that work too if he's doing this as part of an actual vacation, and it's a wasted effort as far as I'm concerned. He'd do better to limit his travels to just a couple of countries or cities so that he actually had a chance to appreciate what he was doin
...between some small trips and a stretch of grand adventures. Rather surprised so many don't plan to do even that, everybody needs a big break from the daily routine at least once a year. That's at least what I'm doing, though I wouldn't call it a grand adventure and certainly not a stretch of them.
I've already had my grand adventure for this year, in April. I went to Vietnam for three weeks.
I will do one or two small trips (a week or less) in the summer. The summer is the best time to be at home (England) anyway.
I've a bunch of exams in June, two projects to do in July, and then more exams in August.
Everyone needs a break? What I need is to pass this year
(But luckily I live in a country where a year of university costs about half of an average person's monthly salary, so when I say "need", I just mean it would be really great.)
Recovering... (Score:5, Interesting)by CrimsonAvenger (580665) on Tuesday May 28, 2013 @02:31PM (#43843143)
...from bone marrow transplant.
No unnecessary contact with anyone who might be ill, or who might know someone who is ill. Which severely limits what one might want to do for fun...
By the end of the year, should have my childhood immunizations restored, and next summer will be a lot more fun....
Sorry to hear about the transplant, although I suppose for you it is could be good news. Just thinking my plan for the summer might work for you.
I plan to go camping so deep into the woods that I will not see another human for the entire trip.
Of course going that deep into the woods might not be a good idea with a compromised immune system. On the upside, seeing no people means seeing no sick people.
Sorry to hear about the transplant, although I suppose for you it is could be good news.
Nah, the transplant is GOOD news. 100% chimerism (yes, I have two sets of DNA now - different results if you do a cheek swab as opposed to a blood draw), so none of my old bone marrow around to generate cancerous cells. Much better than chemotherapy every other year...
The downside of the transplant is that I can't go anywhere, or do much of anything for a year and change.
Oh, and no beer. Or rare steaks/burgers.
No beer!!!! I think I would rather be dead.
I am lucky, I can drive a little over an hour, then turn off the highway, head up some trails for an hour or so, and no one would ever find me.
When you have recovered, I hope you do several AC FRosTY PzISs posts to celebrate. It's the clearest manifestation of being alive there is.
Wow, you are so lucky to be able to receive such a treatment! Congratulations and may your recovery be speedy!
Quite so.
And, in a small effort to make this sort of thing slightly less a matter of luck, consider seriously becoming a bone marrow donor.
Details of the process can be found at the National Marrow Donor Program (aka BeTheMatch) website http://marrow.org/ [marrow.org]

Re:Recovering... (Score:5, Insightful)My own story is a bit different.
I'll be recovering from the end of a relationship I thought was going to be for keeps. I thought I was getting the greatest lady in the world and maybe a % of two lovely and special kids. I did get a lot of wonderful gifts (not of the material kind) along the way.
It's not just a broken heart that makes this noteworthy, it is the reason. She's a trauma and abuse survivor dating back to pre-verbal times. The lovely, positive, smart, open minded, adventurous, beautiful lady I loved lived with a Dragon as a guardian. It slumbered most of the time. Then one day, something put her in a dissociative mode where she could not communicate her wishes clearly and her state of communication impairment wasn't at all obvious. The trauma got fully evoked, the Dragon woke up, and both of us sustained greivious wounds to the heart and the destruction of all our hopes, plans, etc.
Everything going fine, incident (no sign of problem), days pass of normal activity, text indicating things hadn't happened as she wished but she felt she owned it, more days pass of normal activity, small break, email declaring me the evilest creature in the universe.
I tried to get heard, to make the point about what I could know and what she could communicate, to reject projections as to my motives or thoughts, and to empathize. I tried to insert the grey and get the truth heard, but the old wounds brought forward (as happens in these cases) provided a context that tainted the memories of the current events. They also are clung to tenaciously by the brain as accepting a reaction that caused everyone harm occurred for no reason other than the traumatic past is a horrible thing for the survivor's brain to contemplate, so it buries good memories, distorts others, and generally finds rage at the impotence state they were in (again because of the old trauma) rather than face the unfortunate and tragic truth that no villains exist in the present. This is just an old, wicked wound reopening again and again.
This explains why many trauma sufferers never sustain long term close relationships and end up isolating then being desperately lonely then forming unhealthy relationships to cope. Then more trauma ensues.
I came to understand and accept this this by talking to a survivor of parochial school abuse and by reading chapter 2 (titled "Terror") in a book I think was written 30 or so years ago either called Healing Trauma or Recovery from Trauma. That chapter was hard sledding - it covers the experience and cognitive effects from the perspective of the victim and their psyche. It had examples from WWI/II/Vietnam combat victims, crime victims, and sexual assault/rape victims.
My heart wept when I understood deeply the experience she must have had. I don't blame her for the fact she could not, in the moment, differentiate the old trauma from new events. Her healing is not that advanced. She has strong hope with a good therapist and a friend of mine who is a psychiatrist said she has about an 80% chance of healing anyway within 10 years even without therapy, to be within the broad spectrum of normal.
Still, imagine that the person you care about most in the world thinks the most vile thing about you.
Then imagine that anything you say or communicate will evoke the trauma, put the elephant in the room (the trauma response not being accurate to current facts) in the spotlight, and will cause either greater harm or cognitive distortion of all of the good memories you created over nearly a year of hard work to learn to avoid any situation like this.
Imagine that person was a friend for 20 years. Imagine the love you shared was the deepest either had ever felt and that both took the time to share with the other things never shared elsewhere because of the close connection.
Then imagine that the high road, the best thing you can do for her, is swallow your desire to protect, to help heal, to try to go beyond and salvage something (anything) from the mess, is to walk away
Bought a (foreclosed) house at the start of winter, so Summer this year means getting the landscaping to look good.

Re:Pedaling (Score:5, Interesting)by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday May 28, 2013 @08:01PM (#43845759)
Back when I was much younger, I pedaled from Los Angeles to Ithaca, New York. I went by myself and carried about 70 lbs of gear. I usually did 60-70 miles a day, with a low of 30 and a high of 100. It took me 65 days, with 55 days of cycling (too much time in Santa Fe). I took the scenic route, seeing Death Valley, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and Mammoth Caves. West of the Mississippi was a lot more interesting.
This was before Google Maps, so I only had a vague idea of my route. I would buy a state map at the border of each state and then happily discard it at the other end.
I only paid for camping once, and that constant search for a place to sleep made the trip more interesting. I highly recommend it.
I am not that outgoing, but I met lots of people. I think it helped that I was by myself. One guy wanted to take my picture at the Grand Canyon. That's it. No conversation, just a picture. Ok.....
Then there was the escapee from a Spanish prison. His sister was an accomplice, and she killed herself in prison. So he was going to go back to Spain to kill the guy who ratted them out (his sister's husband).
I met a guy with 5$ in his pocket and trunk full of beer (to sell to the Native Americans). I also met a pair of Native Americans enjoying a beer at 8 am (one of whom who was the result of incest between his mother and grandfather).
I met an actor from a large production in Chilicothe, OH who let me sleep at the theater. I met a really nice set of cops in Arkansas, and the next day a different not-so-nice cop who wanted to run me out of town.
I met a family from Pennsylvania at the Grand Canyon. They said that if I was ever around their place, I should call them up. The next winter, I biked from Ithaca to Washington, D.C. and called them up. They were surprised, but happy to host me for a day.
I happened to bike along the path of Race Across America (RAAM) at the exact right time. I talked to one of the support crew, and saw the first and third place pass me by.
Finally, I met a ton of other people riding across the country. They all seemed to travel in groups. I am not sure if it is better to travel alone or not. I did not have any problems with motivation.
Prior to this trip, I had done 3 day solo trips by myself, so I was fine with the physical part. The challenge is largely mental. In any case, best of luck!
Thanks for your stories. I'll see if I get any as good as the Spanish prison break story!
I have similar plans, but hiking.
I want, when I can afford to take several months off at a time, to hike the country on all major routes: The Continental Divide Trail, the Pacific Crest, the Appalachian, North Country Trail.
and then finally the big kahuna...the American Discovery Trail.
This summer I onl have a couple week off though. So bout all I can do is a section of the PCT near my grandparents, combined with a visit to them so they can see their great-granddaughter.
That path goes about a mile from the farm I grew up on in Michigan. Steps 566 and 567 have you on Musketawa Trail between Grand Rapids and Muskegon. Near the end, it goes straight east-to-west. About the middle of that segment is north of where I grew up.
It looks like the rail line that I remember was removed and paved, and made into a bike path. That is so cool. When I rode from Muskegon to Grand Rapids one weekend in high school, it took all day to get there. The roads don't go south-east, so a lot of tur
Thanks. I pinned that location on my personal map. I'll wave south as I go by!
That is awesome. Incidentally your route goes about a block from my house at one stage (in Madison, WI).
Were I to live along the route, I would erect a Natalie Portman statue/grits fountain for you to see. Alas, I'm in Europe.
I ask because I know you said San Fran, but i've heard of several folks will detour a tad south, to to go through the somewhat shorter mountains of NM/CO border area, as opposed to the much taller ones along I-80 and the WY/CO border.
P-Town to San Francisco??? I didn't realize there was an actual gay tour of America
You clearly didn't look at my map that I linked to. I'm also going through Northampton Mass, the "lesbian capitol of the US." In fact, according to the Advocate, I'm travelling through or just by a number of other gay meccas, including Salt Lake City (#1, who knew?), Cambridge, MA (#3), Grand Rapids Michigan (#10) and Denver, CO (#15). I'll be just missing Ann Arbor Michigan (#6) and a longer detour would get me to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St Paul, #7). Why only travel abroad when there is such aw
Summer means more work than usual due to projects. That's OK. Summer is too hot to be at home and outside. I get free AC, paid OT, etc.
More Work. I still have to do my regular job, but I also own a seasonal small business. In the summer, I drive my Ice Cream truck!
I love my job. I mean, I really love my job. Working in IT in the Healthcare industry is exactly where I wanted to be when I graduated from High School 14 years ago and my long arduous journey has finally landed me in the position that should take me all the way to retirement. With that being said, the stress from my position can sometimes be nearly overwhelming and my release from this aged-beast-with-many-heads can be found in motorized backcountry exploration. Most people think I'm strange since duri
I can't afford to travel anywhere this summer... because I just bought a new home! My big summer plans involve moving down there next weekend, and gradually settling it. I guess technically I am "traveling", but no farther than I might on any other weekend (the next county over).
Plan to climb in the Cascades all summer.
No plans. Let things happen as they may.
I live on Titan, you insensitive clod!

One small trip to Quake Con. I hope to be able to ask Carmack about hUMA architecture on new consoles and how they plan to adjust their math processing in order to take advantage.
My wife and I are flying from CA to GA to buy a motorcycle from my Grandpa. We'll be riding all the way back to CA 2 up. It should be a blast and I honestly can't wait! This will be our first vacation in about 3 years. When we get back we're going to be starting a small business together fixing and parting out motorcycles.
If I'm going to use precious vacation time to get away, I'm going to use it to fly some place nice when the weather is cold and ugly at home. If it's nice here, why leave?
I fix lab equipment for the chemistry department at a university.
During the summer, not only do I have the usual run of research equipment, but also have all the gear for the teaching labs. It has to be fixed and gotten ready for the labs to start in the fall.
The guy across the street in life sciences has the same, but also gets to deal with large numbers of microscopes. Oh, and his part time help just retired.
I'm truly glad I don't fix microscopes.
October 9th, 2012, at 4:00 AM: I start running down the Bright Angel trail. About 10:30 AM I tag the North Rim. At 5:45 PM I arrive back at the South Rim. Totals: 13 hours and 45 minutes; 2 miles of vertical gain; 45 miles, round trip.
Late October 2013: what I did last year... but twice... for a total of 22,000 feet of elevation gain over 90 miles. It will probably take me 36 hours.
Of course, harder than that, is training for it. Ah, the life of a part-time developer.
You insensitive clod.
Skydiving every weekend. And maybe some weekdays after work or over lunch. My new year's resolution was to get my skydiving gear together, get to 200 jumps, visit two new dropzones (Maybe Deland or Phoenix in the fall or early winter) and be ready for wingsuit training by next spring. I figure, take a year to get decently proficient at flying a wingsuit and the summer after THAT, travel to Hawaii and spend a week flying a wingsuit over the island.
This all started last year right about this time. I'd worke

One of my ideal vacation plans involves re-visiting Thailand, so I'm kind of jealous! Depending on where you are there are some absolutely gorgeous locations that I haven't seen in years... Though I could do without all the women with Adams Apples in Bangkok. Never trust a woman with a scarf.
It might be a thyroid surgery scar rather than an Adam's apple they are hiding - thyroid cancer and other issues being far more common in women than in men and all.
Typed while wearing a scarf at work, but that's mostly because it's cold. Covering up the thyroid surgery scar is just an added bonus.

Especially as Bangkok is in a tropical climate, 25 C and 90% humidity minimum.
I've got my mom visiting all the way from Chile the first 3 weeks of June, so all the obligatory stops if you live in the Bay Area: Yosemite, Napa, Mendocino and the North Coast, and of course the majestic Redwood Fores. What a great place to live. For a geek is not only the hub of all that matters, but also as someone born with the Pinguins in the Chilean Patagonia, it's the absolutely most perfect place in the planet, where everything you want to see is ether a few hours drive or a short few hours flight.
Quegan will have some grand adventures this summer. So my answer was "... describe a stretch of grand adventures."
Also there will be cupcakes, and many trebuchets!
I'm a private pilot here in Ireland and every time I go across country (or further) flying, I treat it as a grand adventure. So, roll on summer!
we don't get summers here.
I prefer small trips to long holidays. After all, there's only so much being chased around by Zombies while I'm trying to reload my Nerf gun that one's heart muscles can endure. I need a week off at home after a weekend like that just for the adrenaline to wear off.
I just moved from a townhouse (where the association took care of all the outdoor maintanance) into a house with almost an acre of yard to mow, trees and bushes to trim/remove/plant/re-plant, weeding beds, install a fence for my dog, gutters/siding to clean, roof needs to be replaced, painting shutters and door, drainage improvements, clean-up leaves, and more that I'm sure will come up. I'm already looking forward to the winter!
by Bob the Super Hamste (1152367) on Wednesday May 29, 2013 @11:33AM (#43850563) HomepageI like taking the smaller weekend trips over the summer. Now that my youngest is old enough we can start doing them. The first one will be in a couple of weeks for a day trip up to the iron range to visit the big machine, then down to my college a couple of weeks later to watch the biggest building in that town get imploded, probably up to the north shore for a long weekend and also possibly out to the black hills, Mt. Rushmore, and if I am lucky Devil's Tower for a long weekend as well. In the fall it is threshing show time and little boys just love giant old tractors, especially the large steam ones. Add in fishing almost every weekend, household projects, and what ever else we find to do and the summer gets full fast.
First substantial visit North of the border (> 3 days). Any slashdotters in Saguenay?
This summer I'm planning my next big trip for next year. I already burned all my vacation doing a trip of a life time, and may very well not be able to top it, but I will see what I can plan out. Earlier this year (the coles notes version) i climbed/hiked 3 mountains, 1 volcano, 1 galcier, canyoning, caving, cliff jumping, absailing, ziplining, jumped off a 200m tower, a 134m bungee jump, a 15,000ft skydive, swam with white tipped reef sharks, went diving at the great barrier reef, hiked through a few rain
From Seattle to the Grand Canyon and back, enjoying many unique landmarks along the way. Back roads and primitive campgrounds pretty much the entire trip. It'll be nice to get away from daily life for 1.5 weeks. The daily life includes sitting in front of a computer all day writing software. I miss nature...

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|2 LPs on 1 CD: INVICTUS (MEANS) UNCONQUERED (1981)/TENNESSEE WHISKEY (1981).
|Producers: Ron Bledsoe, David Allan Coe, Billy Sherrill.
|Reissue producer: Richard Weize
|Personnel: David Allan Coe (vocals, guitar); Gwen Kay, Mary Beth Anderson, Karen Brooks, Buddy Cannon, Buzz Rabin (background vocals).
|Recording information: CBS Recording Studio, Nashville, TN.
|The sixth and final volume of Bear Family's David Allan Coe two-fer series ends on a high note with his final albums for Columbia, the gorgeous Invictus Means Unconquered and the gutsy, rootsy Tennessee Whiskey. Both of these records represent a return to form for Coe, who had hit a career and creative low with his first attempt at a commercial album, I've Got Something to Say, complete with "special guests." No one was really paying attention to Coe when he recorded Invictus; he and producer Billy Sherrill had nothing to lose, so they put together a collection of ten very strong songs that are, for the very first time, comprised entirely of either co-writes or covers. The covers include Gary P. Nunn's "London Home Sick Blues," "Stand by Your Man," and Bobby David and Ray Kennedy's "The Purple Heart," among others. Among the co-writes are two by Coe and Guy and Susanna Clark, "Ain't It Funny the Way Love'll Do Ya" and "I Love Robbing Banks," and the Coe/Shel Silverstein classic "If You Ever Think of Me at All." The album flows from beginning to end and never slacks, even for a moment. It is Coe's most criminally ignored record and may be his very best. Tennessee Whiskey, by contrast, is a record that seeks to expand on the vision created with Invictus. Sherrill's influence in helping to choose material is evident in the title track, Larry Kingston's "Bright Morning Light," and the Shel Silverstein/Fred Koller nugget "Juanita," among others. The rest features new Coe material, songs that are tight, hooky, and downright country -- which might have been a problem in 1981 when Karen Brooks, Janie Fricke, David Frizzell, Eddie Rabbit, Rosanne Cash, and Lacy J. Dalton were topping the charts. The huge surprise is Coe's odd, funky, but very credible reading of "Dock of the Bay." The singing on both of these records is amazing; Coe was never in better voice. Anyone interested in finding out about Coe's work apart from his myth would do well to actually begin with these records. ~ Thom Jurek

Venezuela's Chavez says his cancer is likely back
The governing party will also be vexed as it lacks an alternative candidate with Chavez's charisma and popular following, Arnson said. She predicted the development will make "a tight race even tighter" against Capriles.
"I am in good physical shape to confront this new battle," Chavez said on Tuesday afternoon.
He later choked up, reflecting on mortality in the phone call.
"I ask for life," he said. "I want to live with you and fight with you until the last moment of this life that God gave me."
He called on his backers to "accelerate the (electoral) battle."
Chavez, whose approval ratings have topped 50 percent in recent polls, had been out of public sight since Friday.
In recent weeks, he has recovered the hair he shaved off during chemotherapy and he has appeared vigorous, although he is puffy around the face and neck. He had returned to a full schedule of activities including marathon television appearances.
Doctors consulted by The Associated Press said it was difficult to assess Chavez's prognosis. But Dr. Javier Cebrian, a colorectal specialist and chief surgeon at University Hospital in Caracas, said the lesion being in the very place the initial tumor was removed was not good.
"A local recurrence is a bad symptom because it means the illness is growing again," he said.
"It's an ominous sign," agreed Dr. Michael Pishvaian, a Georgetown University oncologist.
Pishvaian said doctors often use the term lesion to refer to a new tumor, which appears to fit Chavez's description.
He said such a reappearance, particularly when a patient has undergone surgery then chemotherapy, suggests cancerous cells have resisted the treatments.
Capriles' campaign coordinator, Armando Briquet, said he and his team wish Chavez "a complete recovery" and "a long life although we have always been critical about the lack of real information about the president's health."
Many Venezuelans have been impressed by Chavez's fortitude.
"It's already established that Chavez is a superman because he was sick and he didn't delegate to anyone," said Luis Montilla, a 51-year-old lawyer, expecting Chavez to return to Cuba for surgery and still not delegate.
"He will continue his treatments and continue the campaign," Montilla predicted as he waited in line at a Caracas pharmacy.
Associated Press writers Vivian Sequera in Bogota, Colombia, Ian James in New York and Andrea Rodriguez in Havana contributed to this report.

Wild Arms 4
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: does not meet project guidelines. (March 2008)
|Wild Arms 4
|Wild Arms
|PlayStation 2
|Release date(s)
Wild Arms 4, known in Japan as Wild Arms the 4th Detonator (ワイルドアームズ ザ フォースデトネイター Wairudo Āmuzu Za Fōsu Detoneitā?), also known as Wild Arms Another Code: F at one point in production (since it was simultaneously developed with Wild Arms Alter Code: F), is a role-playing game developed by Media.Vision and the fourth installment in the Wild Arms video game series. The game's overall look and feel is a departure from the Wild West feel of the previous games in the series, to a more modern look.
Jude Maverick has grown up in an isolated town called Ciel, which is completely enclosed in a large sphere floating thousands of feet above the surface of Filgaia. His sheltered world changes forever when he sees the sky "tear" and ships enter his homeland. Upon inspecting the campsite set up by the intruders, he sees something else that he has never seen before: a girl.
The girl's name is Yulie and she is being held captive by the intruders after being captured by a "Drifter" for hire, Arnaud G. Vasquez. After the invading army attacks Ciel and brings the sphere crashing down, Jude, Yulie and Arnaud join forces to find the army's true intention behind Yulie's abduction. With the help of another Drifter, Raquel, these four idealistic teens travel the war-torn land of Filgaia in search of truth, their own identities, and their separate paths to adulthood.
Main characters[edit]
- Jude Maverick
- Age 13. A young boy whose will to overcome obstacles tends to manifest itself as pure recklessness. He is a bit immature for his age, but this is partially due to fact that grew up in a very sheltered environment. He wears a jacket that is a couple sizes too large for him, which only adds to his immature image. He's the only party member who is capable of using an ARM. He is also the first non-Drifter hero to appear in the series since Wild Arms 2. Jude is the jack of all trades of the group. He has good attack power, can shoot energy beams with his ARM, and steal items. His special ability is Mystic, which allows a used item to affect all party members.
- He is the son of Ethelda Maverick, and his father is later implied to be Hauser Blackwell, both of whom he loses before the game's end. After the catastrophe that strikes Ciel, Jude makes the decision to roam the world in search of survivors from his town and to protect Yulie. After multiple encounters with the forces of Brionac, his purpose later evolves into preserving Filgaia's future. Through the course of the group's struggles, Jude matures into a stronger person, and yet still manages to retain the youthful drive of his innocence. 10 years later, he is a forest ranger who works to protect the world's forests, and surrounds himself with the company of animals rather than people. He is voiced by Ryōko Shiraishi in the Japanese version and Julie Anne Taylor in the English version.
- Yulie Ahtreide
- Age 15. A young girl saddled with the fate of being a Wild Arms heroine. She seems a bit shy at first, but is an upbeat and caring girl. Since losing her parents in the war, she has lived in the White Orphanage and has since retracted from adults. Though her abilities differ from Jude's, she also has the ability to control ARMs after activation. Unlike Jude, however, her ARM ability is not natural, and she only obtained it through extensive (and inhumane) experimentation. She is the white mage and summoner of the group. Her special ability is Material, which, depending on the HEX she's standing in, will either heal the party or unleash an elemental summon that attacks all enemies.
- Throughout the game, Yulie wrestles with the guilt in believing that she had brought all this tragedy to Jude and the others, as well as having to oppose her brother, Kresnik. However, she later manages to overcome her feelings, as well as the unsureness of her faith in her brother. Brionac wish to control her so that they may use her abilities to control "The Divine Weapon", an incredibly powerful ARM. Although she is eventually captured at one point in the game, her brother and her friends manage to work together to free her. Later, with her powers amplified by the Marduk satellite (as stated by a village at the end of the game), she is able to assist in the Divine Weapon's deactivation. 10 years later, she acts as the town school teacher for Ciel's replacement. She is voiced by Ayako Kawasumi in the Japanese version and Kate Higgins in the English version.
- Arnaud G. Vasquez
- Age 18. A magic user who prides himself "in everything from the neck up". He would rather spend his days wandering and searching for something for his own benefit, but, somehow, becomes tangled in Jude's travels. He specializes in attack spells and stat changing spells. His special ability is Jump, which can move him and anyone else in his HEX to another. If he has learned a certain skill, he can attack after using Jump.
- A recurring joke with Arnaud is that he is constantly complaining about having been dragged into Jude's and Yulie's problems, and yet still remains loyal and by their side regardless. Arnaud lost his mother when he was young, and as a result, he resolved to learn how to fly so that he could see her in heaven. He later became a magic user and a Drifter, and just worked purposelessly until he becomes embroiled with Brionac. During the journey, he finds a purpose in being with Raquel and acting as her warmth. After the final battle, they both decide to go off together to find a cure for her illness. 10 years later, he has settled in a town as a restaurant manager, with his daughter assisting him. He is voiced by Hiroki Takahashi in the Japanese version and Yuri Lowenthal in the English version.
- Raquel Applegate
- Age 19. The lady fencer isn't very "ladylike", but her strength in battle more than makes up for her faults. Seems hard to approach at first, but in reality this swordswoman is caring and is the most mature of the party. Traveling the world that has been devastated by the war, her objective is to find and draw the few beautiful landscapes left in Filgaia. Later, it is learned that she is doing so because she contracted an incurable disease when she was younger and wishes to have the ugly memories of war be erased by the beauty that is left in Filgaia. Her attack power in battle is the highest of the party, as she can often kill enemies in one blow. However, she is very slow. Her special ability is Intrude, which allows her to have consecutive turns. She is voiced by Hitomi Nabatame in the Japanese version and Wendee Lee in the English version.
- The group first meet Raquel after she talks down a couple of soldiers from causing a ruckus, and later joins them after hearing of their plight, reasoning that she could still fulfill her original purpose by accompanying Jude and the others. Through a matter of unfortunate circumstance, Arnaud (and eventually the others) discover that Raquel has an incurable condition that is killing her. She had contracted it during an incident that wiped out her entire hometown, leaving her as possibly the only survivor. She and Arnaud fall in love, and she later decides to rely on him as her warmth. In the 10 year time skip, it is revealed that the two later married and had a daughter. Unfortunately, they were never able to find a cure for her condition, and Raquel quietly passed away after realizing the ultimate beauty in her baby daughter.
- Ethelda Maverick
- Age 41. Jude's mother. A former ARM scientist, she and her colleagues moved to Ciel in order to escape their past and the war torn Filgaia. When Ciel is destroyed, the occupants are separated. She is captured by Lambda along with another group of Ciel residents (also former ARM scientists) so that they may activate the Divine Weapon. Although the Weapon was designed to help restore Filgaia, she believes it is also capable of great destruction, and she wishes to destroy it. She and the others are eventually rescued by Jude and company at Brionac's headquarters, Garra de Leon (a large sandship), and the two parties split up into two separate hovercrafts to make their escape. However, Lambda had set multiple time bombs all over Garra de Leon as a means to prevent Jude and the others from escaping, and Ethelda's craft is hit by one, killing her and everyone else aboard. Jude is sent into a depression over this, but eventually snaps out of it, and decides to fulfill his mom's last wish: to destroy the Divine Weapon.
- Hauser Blackwell
- Age unknown. Wields the XERD_002GC "Gunclaw". Fuses with the fourth ARM, the Divine Weapon, sealed away under Ilsveil Prison, in order to wipe out humanity with its nanomachines. During the war he was a "hero", fighting for the sake of a better future. He has saved countless towns on his own, disappearing while trying to save the town where Raquel Applegate was born. He was dubbed "The Black Reaper". He is also the father of Jude. Although he is always spoken of as a highly dangerous war criminal, he is in actuality a fairly sympathetic character who is sick of war and just wants to live in peace. The party first comes across him when Jude tries to save a puppy being washed down the Autumn River in a box; Hauser takes the small dog with him as he leaves. He even heals the party back to health after the train they were riding on (Silver Star Express) crash lands into Verklarung. Hauser is then seen leading Yulie to the surface so that she may exorcise the earthbound souls of those killed in the city's destruction, which he accidentally caused. He is then captured by Gawn, and taken to Illsveil Prison. Once there, Lambda gives him a speech on how people are the cause of Filgaia's problems and shows him the collar of the puppy from earlier (he was implying the puppy had been killed, but lied about it. The puppy would be seen alive in the ending.) which sends the war weary Hauser over the edge. He escapes his bondage, and makes his way to the Divine Weapon so that he may use it to kill all life in Filgaia, as he believes that is the only way Filgaia will ever see peace. When the party arrives to destroy the Weapon, Hauser stops them and states his intentions. The party then battles him as he continually changes forms, each less human looking than the last. Upon his defeat, he reforms himself back into his old form, and chases Jude down with his ARM drawn. Jude then throws his own ARM away, and tries to plead with him that humanity is worth saving. It works, and Hauser drops his arm and places his hand on Jude's head, indicating he knows who Jude is and that he is proud of him. He then dissipates. Jude then breaks down into tears, presumably because he just realized that Hauser was his father. Later on, a townsperson suggests that Hauser actually didn't survive the Verklarung explosion, and the form seen throughout the game was actually a collection of nanomachines with Hauser's mind still intact (which explains how Jude always saw a scene from Hauser's past when he made physical contact with him). He is voiced by Masahiko Tanaka in the Japanese version and Dan Woren in the English version.
Brionac Forces[edit]
The Brionac is the elite fighting force of the Congressional Knights, and was initially formed during the war against the Global Union. They were reformed after the war by a new captain, Lambda, and are now known as "Lambda's Elite." The group is composed of members with super-human abilities, and each member of the Brionac is equivalent to an entire battalion.
- Lambda Zellweger
- Age 32. He possesses an iron will, and the ability to accurately "see" the future. A calculating man who, in the order to guarantee the success of a mission, always has a trump card readied. It is under his command that the Brionac lieutenants pursue Yulie. His weapons include a sword and a whip. After battling and wounding him, the party convinces Lambda that using the Divine Weapon to restore Filgaia is not the way to go, but rather the teamwork of all people. Lambda then gives the party his blessing to destroy the Divine Weapon, even using the last of his strength to save them from falling debris and creating a path for them. After the party leaves, Lambda meets up again with the now blinded Farmel, and the two share one last moment together before being crushed by falling boulders.
- Kresnik Ahtreide
- Age 24. A commander of the Brionac forces, and Yulie's older brother. He is also known as the "lance" of Lambda. He is a knight in every sense of the word, and "Javelin" is his steed. His weapon is an ARM, despite the fact that he must take drugs in order to use it (he, like his sister, was also experimented upon). Despite being a Brionac member, he cares greatly for the well-being of his sister, and even goes against Brionac on a few occasions. However, he does not like Jude much, as he is jealous of his completely natural ability to use ARMs. He is a temporary party member at two points in the game, though he does not gain experience. After the second time, he is supposedly killed when a cave ledge collapses under his feet, and he plunges into the abyss. Before he passes, he gives his ARM to Jude and tells him to protect Yulie. From that point, Jude can then make use of a number of Kresnik's abilities. At the end of the game, a music box that is identical to the one he had carried is seen left on a crate outside the party's workshop, implying that he may still be alive, though there are no other reasons given in order to believe this. He is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch in the English version.
- Farmel Arianrhod
- Age 30. A commander of the Brionac Forces. She is also known as the "shield" which protects Lambda. Despite her lighthearted demeanor and teasing words, her faith in Lambda is absolute and she guards him with her life. Her weapon is a bladed shield, which she uses to block attacks, then return fire with a very powerful counterattack. Her right arm and leg sport gold armor. After the battle with her, a computer console near her explodes when she chooses to destroy it to subtly assist Jude, presumably killing her. Later on, she is shown to have survived, but was blinded by the explosion. She took a great amount of time to find her way down to the recently battle wounded Lambda, and the two share one last moment together before being crushed by falling boulders.
- Jeremy Non
- Age 28. A Brionac lieutenant who is fueled by violence and destruction. He wields a rapid-fire missile launcher with his bare hands. Although it would be impossible for normal humans to withstand the recoil, his special ability "Inertia Cancel" allows him to do this. He is by far the most psychotic member of Brionac, willing to kill people he is not supposed to just because he feels like it. He is later transformed into a Wild ARM (a living being merged with ARM technology), somehow keeping his mind and returning to attack the party again. He and Kresnik do not get along at all, and this is solidified by the fact that Kresnik rescues the party just as Jeremy is about to sap their power via a mechanical cage. The party then finishes Jeremy for good. He is voiced by Sam Riegel in the English version.
- Enil Aidem
- Age 31. A Brionac lieutenant who is harsh on herself and has difficulty interacting with others. Although she lacks physical prowess in battle, her specialty is in psychological attacks. She is not only able to materalize her opponent's fears (Dark Whisper), but she also has the ability to shapeshift, thus making her ideal for infiltration and espionage. It is implied that Enil was killed in battle, though it was not shown.
- Hugo Hewitt
- Age 33. A Brionac lieutenant known for his skillful wielding of the pair of swords known as Gan and Diva. By combining the swords, he is able to create a bow, named Gandiva, which shoots arrows of light, and allows him to target even distant foes with deadly accuracy. His ability is "System Chronos" which allows him to stop time for everyone but himself and move freely, which resembles teleportation to an observer. This "speed which defies physics" is faster even than Jude's Accelerator ability. Like Enil, it is implied that he was killed in battle, though it was not shown.
- Balgaine Ales
- Age 40. Balgaine is a power fighter who yearns for an honorable death on the battlefield. His cyborg body packs unimaginable power, and his weaponized chainsaw, named Nidhogg, was developed specifically for battle. His weapon boasts the most attack power, even amongst the Brionac commanders. After the battle with him, his wish for death is granted as Nidhogg explodes.
- Augst Henriksen
- Age 48. Formerly a scientist, Augst currently functions as an advisor to Lambda and oversees the formulation of battle strategies. Unlike any of the other Brionac members, he lacks any special or super-human ability and instead relies on "common sense" to bring missions to a success. At one point he tries to stop the party by injecting part of a liquefied ARM into himself, transforming into a monster which is then killed by the party. After the final battle, a townperson comments on the fact that it was the Marduk, a satellite created as a weapon by Augst, that helped amplify Yulie's efforts to deactivate the Divine Weapon, and ironically saved the future. He notes that he would have been pleased. He is voiced by Akio Nojima in the Japanese version and Paul St. Peter in the English version.
- Scythe Riebaure
- Age 30. Scythe has the ability to manipulate time/space and create wormholes. This ability not only has offensive capabilities, but defensive ones as well. He can drag opponents into subspace or use it to protect himself. It is rumored that he is a remnant of an ancient race called the "Crimson Nobles." His nickname is Crimson Noble, despite the fact that he really isn't one (the most obvious clue being sunlight has no effect on him). This delusion came about in part because he was a hemophiliac, eventually tricking himself into that fantasy. The source of his power actually comes from his lover, Belial, who is a demon. Scythe meets his end when he is accidentally crushed by a plane whose locks were released by Arnaud. He is voiced by Cam Clarke in the English version.
- Heath Exon
- Age unknown. Heath is the only member of Brionac who is never seen during the game, because he is dead. All of the information known about him is shown during a conversation between Enil and Balgaine. According to them, Heath was a powerful warrior who had no love for anything, including himself. The only things he loved were the dolls he created, Fiore and Asia, which somehow brought life into them. His total apathy towards everything somehow caused him to turn invisible, which became his special ability, called Invisible Stalker. His invisibility eventually caused him to go insane, and he used the power to "spy" on the female staff members. Lambda then had him killed for this.
- Gawn Brawdia
- Age 37. Gawn is the trump card of the group, in that he is only used if all else fails. Gawn is first seen looking for food when the group is wandering around in the Sea of Trees after escaping Wunderweltraum. He earns the group's trust when he rescues a citizen of the now-destroyed Ciel, and was trying to find food so he could heft him all the way to the nearby town of Guara Bobelo. Gawn then decides to travel with the group, as he is going in the same direction, looking for an old war comrade, Hauser Blackwell. He takes off after learning that the group is trying to keep Yulie away from Brionac, presumably to tell them where they are. Although first portrayed as a laid back buffoon, Gawn reveals a much more serious side when he ambushes the group at the Forgotten City of Verklarung, Raquel's destroyed hometown. Despite the fact that he is a Brionac member, Gawn actually does care about the well-being of the party, and even questions Lambda's agenda. He wields two very powerful six-shooters. He can even shoot down missiles and keep himself afloat in mid air with them, all at the same time. He uses this talent to save the party from 11 missiles fired at the party by Lambda during their flight to Illsveil Prison, and sacrifices himself by punching the last missile upon running out of ammunition. Jude looks up to him, and Arnaud comments that he only wishes he could grow up to be someone like Gawn.
The following people are not official members of Brionac, but still operate with them.
- Belial
- Age unknown. Although she is Scythe's constant companion, she is not an official member of the Brionac forces. Whenever Scythe depletes himself with the use of his ability, he turns to the willing Belial who always offers him a willing neck to feed upon. It is noticeable that Belial is in love with Scythe. After Scythe's death, Belial goes insane, and sucks the party into another dimension she created, named Wunderweltraum, with the intention of trapping them there forever. Arnaud then hatches a plan to escape. He believes that Belial would have had to use a great deal of power to create the dimension, and should be weak enough to fight. His theory proves to be correct, and the party defeats her. However, she informs the party that they will never escape the dimension in time because they are so far from the entrance. The party gets back in time, only to encounter Belial again. They defeat her for good, and escape Wunderweltraum just in time.
- Fiore & Asia
- Age unknown. A pair of dolls who were brought to life by the love of their master; Heath, a former Brionac lieutenant. Yet, despite the fact that Heath is no longer alive, Asia and Fiore continue to live. They, like Belial, are not members of Brionac. Since they were fueled by dreams, they are known as the "dreaming dolls." Both Fiore and Asia have a strong magic ability, and can unleash an extremely powerful attack when combined. They self-destruct after the party defeats them in an effort to destroy them and rejoin Heath.Their name comes from these of Dario Argento's daughters.
Ambient Reorganization Material weapons made from nanomachines. There are four in the game.
- XERD_001HS "Howling Spike"
- An experimental prototype ARM, in the possession of the Ciel shelter, but was given to the knights by Augst when he left Ciel. This Arm was passed on to Kresnik, who requires drugs in order to use it. Kresnik eventually passed it on to Jude, who naturally combined it with "Shapeshifter".
- XERD_002GC "Gunclaw"
- Hauser's ARM went missing with him after the war. Its original form is unknown, as it may have transformed into Hauser after he supposedly died. A remark stated by Hauser indicates that the Gunclaw was what was originally meant to restore the environment, and that it has the intrinsic power to purify poisons and regenerate the user.
- XERD_003SS "Shapeshifter"
- Sealed away on Ciel, only to be activated by Jude. it take many forms; a handgun, a sword, "Howling Spike", rocket launcher, and beam cannon among others.
- XERD_004DW "Divine Weapon"
- Sealed away under Illsveil before it was completed; later reactivated by Hauser. The original purpose of the Divine Weapon was to restore the world after the destruction of the war, but as it began to spread out in Illsveil, it killed the prisoners, and took their murderous minds. This is the most powerful ARM in the game, however the player never gets it, nor does any character in the game control it. Instead, the ARM controls the user, and acts as the game's endgame boss. It is destroyed by the party, and its deactivation results in the failure of Illsveil's structural integrity.
- Action
Action elements on the field map such as double-jumps, using the new "Accelerator" ability to manipulate time, and equipping items to solve puzzles maintains the excitement between battles.
- Events
Movie events presented in a distinctive use of polygons and shading with voice-actors. SMOSH Dialog takes place using various character illustrations that change and reposition frequently.
The HEX battle system is composed of seven hexagons on the battle field, with random beginning placement for all characters and enemies. What makes the HEX battle system so unique is that it is area based instead of character based. This means that any attacks or spells given to certain hexagon, or HEX, will affect all characters on that HEX. Multiple allies or enemies can occupy a single HEX, but enemies and allies can't occupy the same HEX.
Other features of the battle system include:
- Special Attacks: Force Ability - Force Points (FP) accumulate during battle each time a character performs an action, whether it is attacking or being attacked. There is one force gauge for the entire party, so once the gauge fills, any member of the party can execute a special Force Ability. There are also Force Abilities which that are executed by two or more party members which take up a certain amount of Force Points depending on how many party members are involved in the attack.
- Team Capabilities: By grouping more than one party member onto a single HEX, the player can use one item or spell on the HEX to heal all the party members together. Combination attacks are also possible when multiple party members are on the same HEX. However, should an enemy attack a specific HEX, all party members in that HEX will take damage. This also applies to enemies.

Localization problems[edit]
In the North American version, two monsters (Dalawa Bunny and Accident Rabbit) were taken out of the game, but not out of the monsters list, making it impossible to finish the game with 100% completion. The PAL version still contains this error, and is also known to crash in certain places when played in 50 Hz mode, leaving those areas potentially impassable to players whose television does not support 60Hz PAL signals.
Some PAL copies also have another issue where triggering specific Material summons would freeze the game. A workaround is to disable the battle movies in the game's options. This bug affects both PAL and NTSC modes.
The English localization copy is known to freeze when loading the area at the top of a ladder at "The Great Wall" roughly 5 hours into the game when played in PAL mode. A workaround can be achieved by saving the game in the area prior and loading the game in NTSC mode, going past and saving on the world map. No other areas are known to have this problem.

Where's the Structure to the Domain Market? Domain Name Funds, Mortgages and LeasesBusiness Practices
Owning a domain name is much like owning land. On top of that land you can build something valuable (or something you want to use yourself), you can sell the land on to someone else (with or without construction) and it has an address. Of course, this applies more to generic domains.

Pune: The Indian ocean garbage patch, which is a gyre of non degradable waste that sits suspended in the water column, was on only discovered in 2010 shedding light on the grave situation resulting from tonnes of debris that gets dumped in the ocean each day. "Even though Pune has no ocean, the health and conditions of all water bodies matters because many of these flow into the ocean," said Karan Ragade of OSI, a Pune based foundation that spear heads 3000 strong volunteers' movement each year on the banks of Mula and Mutha rivers. About 50 individuals who are a part of Ocean Savers India (OSI) have gathered on Sunday, which is 'World Ocean Day', at the Bund garden for a volunteer drive to clean up the area along the Mula and Mutha rivers.
Commodore Rajan Vir, founder president of the Indian Maritime foundation said, "Since its conception the drive has seen tremendous response from schools and organizations and this year we plan to do more such clean ups and awareness programs." He further added that because India has many inland water bodies it is not only the oceans but also the rivers that flow into it that need cleaning up.
Vinod Bodhankar of Sagar Mitra a project, by TAA, SETU and CGPL. (The Academic Advisors, Sustainable Environment Through Universal Networking and Clean Garbage Private Limited). The program consisted of the school students collecting clean, dry and empty plastic waste at home for a month with the help of parents and family and fetching this plastic waste to school. "The 40,000 students fetched 11 tons of waste plastic in 2013-2014 and the total collection for this program till date is 16.5 tons, which if uncollected would spread over a 150 km length of an urban river. The project began with a mere 150 students and in 2014-2015 the project target is 300 schools and 3, 00,000 student volunteers. We have spread to other cities of India like Bhopal, Surat, Baroda, Anand and river flanked cities of Punjab. In Pune over 150 schools are on board our project," said Bodhankar.
Join the movement
Ocean Savers India will be conducting a river bank clean up at Bund Garden , Riverbank
Today from 9:30 am onwards.

An Empire of Vice
Three days before Christmas in 1946, Havana's Hotel Nacional was closed for a private meeting. Armed guards blocked entry to its lovely grounds atop a seaside bluff in the plush El Vedado district. Inside the stately cream-colored Art Deco hotel, a group of distinguished foreign visitors tucked into a feast of local delicacies. There were crab and queen conch enchiladas from the southern archipelago; swordfish and oysters from the nearby village of Cojímar; roast breast of flamingo and tortoise stew; grilled manatee, washed down with añejo rum. It is unknown whether the attendees--whose number included about twenty of North America's most notorious gangsters--ended their meal with a cake like the one served at their feast's fictional rendering in The Godfather Part II. But as in the film, the purpose of the gathering was clear: to divvy up shares in the empire of vice they were busy establishing in Havana.
During the next decade, the mafia built a seaside gambling resort, which soon rivaled in profits and glamour its sister project in dusty Las Vegas. Under the canny direction of Meyer Lansky, the Jewish don who'd risen from the streets of New York's Lower East Side, members of the Havana Mob became fabulously wealthy. So too did Cuba's US-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista, whose stake in the mob's affairs exceeded the sacks of cash delivered weekly to the presidential palace. With Lansky and fellow mobsters like Santo Trafficante employed as "tourism experts" in his government, Batista eliminated taxes on the tourism industry, guaranteed public financing for hotel construction and--as T.J. English shows in Havana Nocturne, an exacting and lively account of the era--even granted responsibility for Cuba's infrastructure development to a new mob-controlled bank, BANDES. In December 1957 the opening of the Riviera, a $14 million mafia show palace just down the seawall from the Nacional, was celebrated by a special episode of The Steve Allen Show on US television and a gala in Havana featuring Ginger Rogers. Three months later, the twenty-five-story Havana Hilton--mortgage holder: BANDES--became Cuba's biggest hotel yet.
The party ended on New Year's 1959, when Batista fled the island as Fidel Castro's barbudos advanced on its capital. Castro and his bearded rebels established their headquarters in the Havana Hilton and loosed a truckload of pigs on the sleek lobby of the Riviera. Castro announced the "socialist nature" of his revolution. Nikita Khrushchev sent Soviet missiles. President John F. Kennedy--who, during a visit to Havana the previous year as a senator, had spent an afternoon with three mob-supplied prostitutes under the gaze, from behind a two-way hotel-room mirror, of Santo Trafficante--instituted the embargo that defines US-Cuba relations to this day.
"I couldn't get that little island off of my mind," Lansky remarked after his first visit to Cuba in the 1920s. The gangster was no less covetous of Cuba, and proved no less fixated on controlling it, than a series of US presidents reaching back to the founders. "I have ever looked on Cuba," wrote Thomas Jefferson to President James Monroe when the United States gained control of the Florida peninsula in 1821, "as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States." Monroe's secretary of state, John Quincy Adams, was more blunt. "The annexation of Cuba to our federal republic," he wrote, "will be indispensable to the continuance and integrity of the Union itself." After the United States took possession of Texas and California by war in 1848, many in Washington advocated annexing Cuba by force as well. The impulse was quashed for a time. Nevertheless, with Spain's empire sunk in a long decline, the United States' eventual possession of Cuba was viewed as inevitable for most of the nineteenth century. In a political cartoon from 1897, one of a trove of such images Louis A. Pérez Jr. uses to illustrate his brilliant book Cuba in the American Imagination, Uncle Sam stands beneath a fruit tree with a basket of plums, each bearing the name of a foreign territory already attained--Louisiana, Florida, Texas. From an upper branch hangs a "Cuba" plum, upon which Sam gazes keenly, his look distilling the common view: if America refrained from picking Cuba with a forceful hand, the ripe prize would eventually fall to its basket simply by dint of geography and time.
When the warship USS Maine mysteriously exploded while docked at Spanish Havana in February 1898, the United States had a pretext for shaking the tree of its remaining fruit. A few months later, Cuban rebels and invading US forces expelled Spain from the island, and Cuba (along with Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines) was annexed to the United States. "We went to war for civilization and humanity," President William McKinley eulogized, "to relieve our oppressed neighbors in Cuba." Humanity's gains were hazy, but what the United States certainly gained from the war was an empire. Puerto Rico and the Philippines became de facto American colonies; and with the passage of the Platt Amendment in 1901, Washington arrogated to itself the right to intervene in Cuba's affairs whenever it wished--providing also for the seizure of Cuban territory at Guantánamo Bay to establish a US naval base purposed "to enable the United States to maintain the independence of Cuba" (and conveniently positioned to protect what would soon be a key sea lane to the Panama Canal).
Gaining control of Cuba fulfilled a long-sought strategic aim. But equally important for the United States was how the invasion of Cuba came to shape its foreign policy and self-image at large. The Spanish-American War--the Union's first large-scale military campaign since Reconstruction--bolstered American unity and inaugurated America's self-conception as a "universal nation" endowed with the moral mission of projecting its power abroad. Before 1898, as Pérez stresses, quoting the historian Norman Graebner, "the foreign policies of the United States were rendered solvent by ample power to cover limited, largely hemispheric, goals." Afterward, those policies became global, their stated aims--universal democracy and freedom for all humanity--abstract in nature and unobtainable in practice. As Pérez writes, the template for US foreign wars, up to the "war on terror," with its crusading aim to "rid the world of evil," was cast in America's war for Cuba.
