High-living leaders did legal aid outfit no favors
However, the profligacy of Legal Services Corporation board doesn't excuse the hypocrisy of agency's congressional critics.
The Legal Services Corporation is under fire, but that's not unusual. The quasi-private corporation - created in 1974 to provide legal aid to the poor - quickly became a target of conservatives. They argued that the private bar has long provided "pro bono" (no fee) legal work and that lawyers hired by the Legal Services Corporation were less interested in providing mundane legal help than pursuit of social activism.
President Reagan tried to get rid of the LSC, appointing board members who favored its abolishment, but Congress refused to kill the Great Society holdover, although it did cut its budget.
Now, the board of directors of the LSC may have done more to damage the agency than those efforts aimed at killing it. Board members have been eating $58 meals and taking $400 chauffeured rides, according to an audit obtained by the Associated Press. Lunch costs at one meeting exceeded $70 per person; afternoon snacks cost up to $27 per person. They splurged on $14 "Death by Chocolate" desserts and held meetings at a swanky hotel. The board spent $100,000 on parties and entertainment going back to 2000.
Members of Congress are angry. "It's a waste and abuse," fumed Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, who is threatening to withhold funding. Rep. Chris Cannon, a House committee chairman, threatened to subpoena the president of the LSC, Helaine Barnett, after she refused to attend a hearing.
But Congress doesn't have clean hands on this issue. It has under-funded the LSC for years, whittling away at its mission and bud-get. In 1980, before President Reagan led his assault on the agency, it received $321 million in funding. This year, Congress appropriated $326 million. If adjusted for inflation, that $321 million in 1980 would total about $700 million today. So the LSC has lost half its funding.
The high-living directors did the beleaguered agency no favors. If food is served at the next board meeting, they deserve nothing better than bologna sandwiches. But the cries of righteous outrage by those members of Congress who are shocked, shocked to find wasteful spending going on is another example of the institution's arrogant hypocrisy.

Even the jet set is grounded as European airports wait for dangerous ash spewed from an Iceland volcano to subside.
Ordinary travelers by and large are being forced to sit and wait at shut-down airports, but one celebrity paid $5,500 for a 15-hour cab ride, another was forced onto a boat and others may not be able to make it to huge U.S. gigs.
Monty Python comedian John Cleese spent roughly $5,500 on a taxi ride from Oslo to Brussels after getting stranded by the volcano. The 930-mile trip was expected to take him more than 15 hours. Cleese hired three drivers who apparently were taking turns at the wheel, according to Norwegian media reports.
"We checked every option, but there were no boats and no train tickets available," Cleese told Norwegian TV2. "That's when my fabulous assistant determined the easiest thing would be to take a taxi."
Singer Whitney Houston took to the seas to make it to Dublin for the next stop in her world tour. The singer and her entourage ended up on a 3 hour, 15 minute car ferry across the Irish Sea from Holyhead, Wales to Dublin.
Halfway around the world, other music fans were not so lucky. Several bands scheduled to play at California's Coachella Music and Arts Festival this weekend had to back out because of canceled flights.
The Cribs, Los Campesinos!, Gary Numan and Bad Lieutenant were among the acts that have struggled to make it to the California venue.
From Turkey, to Russia to even parts of Asia, travelers are stuck with no relief in sight. Passengers frantically are trying any method possible to get home, to a business meeting or just to start their vacation.
Most of them have not met success and are left stranded in random cities, some being forced to spend the night on emergency airport cots in places from London to Paris to major U.S. air hubs to Europe.
"We're right in the middle of crisis central," said Heather Dolstra of Democracy Travel in Washington, D.C. Dolstra and other agents have been feverishly working to get their customers to their destinations any way possible.
"It's just as bad, in many ways, as anything we saw on 9/11," she said. "All of the rerouting is impossible."
The airports in Europe are some of the world's busiest connection points. A passenger going from Africa or India to the United States, for instance, is likely to change planes in London, Paris, Frankfurt or Amsterdam. All of those hubs, and numerous smaller airports, have been closed thanks to volcanic ash in the skies above that can cause airplane engines to lose power and fail.
Stay Up to Date on the Latest Travel Trends from ABC News on Twitter
The volcano hasn't stopped everybody from doing their jobs though.
Norway's prime minister, Jens Stoltenberg, was photographed in a British Airways lounge at New York's JFK Airport using the latest Apple product. The headline in the New York tabloids summed it up this way: "He governs via iPad."
Stoltenberg finally made it to Munich on a plane Thursday night and then took a train home.
In Boston, organizers of the city's marathon, scheduled for Monday, extended the traditional Sunday night check-in deadline and may even allow day-of-race check-in because many runners are stranded overseas.

August 1, 2015
Thirty houses have been destroyed and 200 are threatened by a wildfire burning out of control near Possum Kingdom Lake.
The Texas Forest Service says the fire, named PK West, had burned 10,000 acres as of Friday morning.
Several Forest Service teams are fighting the fire, and they have asked for two National Guard Blackhawk helicopters to help with water drops.
The PK West fire is one of several burning across Texas.
About 120 miles west of Possum Kingdom Lake near Sweetwater, the Cooper Mountain Ranch fire has burned 50,000 acres. The Forest Service says 60 m.p.h. winds in the area Thursday night drove the fire 15 miles in less than three hours. The entire town of Rotan, population 1,400, had to be evacuated.
Closer to the DFW metro area, a fire that broke out Friday in Eastland County forced firefighters to evacuate the town of Gorman. That's about 100 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
Three other fires also broke out across the state on Friday.
Today's low humidity and high winds have created a high fire danger across much of the state today, according to the Forest Service.

VitreaView Offers 3-D and Tablet Viewing Capabilities
Vital Images' universal viewer, VitreaView, offers 3-D and tablet viewing capabilities and provides a consistent image viewing experience across the patient continuum of care. VitreaView is used as a communication tool for DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) and non-DICOM medical images through a standardized viewer, giving clinicians access to these images through a variety of systems, including EMR (electronic medical record), EHR (electronic health record) or HIE (health information exchange).
VitreaView enables flexible deployment options, including leveraging virtualized environments and allowing access to multiple databases, thus providing a universal imaging layer at the enterprise level. VitreaView is also designed to eliminate the need to integrate disparate image viewing portals by providing a single, standardized imaging layer for referring clinicians. This allows administrators to move away from managing disparate departmental imaging solutions and provide access through a consolidated universal viewer.
The viewer received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance in 3-D viewing in November 2012.

Frankel's three-quarter-brother Bullet Train to stand for $7,500
Bullet Train, a Group 3 winner and a three-quarter-brother to two-time European Horse of the Year Frankel, will stand his first season at stud at Wintergreen Stallion Station in Midway, Ky., for a fee of $7,500, payable when the foal stands and nurses.
A 5-year-old Sadler's Wells horse, Bullet Train was bred and raced by Juddmonte Farm, and he will be managed at stud by Bob Feld, who helped broker the deal to stand the horse in Kentucky.
Bullet Train is the first foal out of the stakes-winning Danehill mare Kind. He won 2 of 14 starts and earned $177,737 in four seasons of racing, highlighted by a win in the Group 3 Derby Trial Stakes in 2010. In his last six starts, all in Group 1 races, Bullet Train served as a pacemaker for Frankel.
Frankel was retired in October with an undefeated record from 14 starts, including 10 Group 1 wins. A 4-year-old son of Galileo, Frankel will begin his stud career in 2013 at Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud for a fee of approximately $200,000.

Prophet CRM Works the Way you Work, right in Outlook

- Get a head-start on implementation by leveraging the acquired knowledge of thousands of implementations, at customers just like you.
Prophet CRM has been installed by over 15,000 customers. Here are a few:
A CRM Inside Outlook
With so many different CRM options available today, it can be tough to find the right one for your team. Here's why we recommend using Prophet 7 by Avidian within Microsoft Outlook.
You're Already Using Outlook
This almost goes without saying, but it needs to be said: Microsoft Outlook is the first thing most teams check at the beginning of the work day, and it's the last thing many check at the end. Outlook incorporates contacts, scheduling, email, and tasks in one convenient package. It's a powerful, flexible personal information manager that integrates well with mobile devices and other software tools.
Incorporating a personal CRM solution 100% inside Outlook means you can add more functionality to an already useful tool.
The Transition is Easy
Because your sales team is already using Outlook, there's no downtime required to stop and learn a new platform. Instead, you can pick up Prophet CRM right away and integrate it into your marketing and customer service efforts immediately. Your application and workflow don't need to change.
Since all of your information is already in Outlook, there's also no need for duplicate data entry, a task that eats up tons of valuable time.
It Makes Outlook More Powerful
Outlook already makes it possible to manage and share important customer information. Incorporating CRM software for Outlook just makes all of those tasks easier. A CRM in Outlook will synchronize your customer profiles and account data to make sure your information is always accurate, and it will capture and organize the details of every customer interaction within Outlook's framework. The upshot is more efficient marketing, better customer service and ongoing, positive relationships with customers.
CRM Software
Customer relationship management (CRM) software is a set of software tools designed to help businesses track and organize customer data, automate sales and marketing tasks, and provide ongoing customer support. Most CRM tools were created with business-to-customer (B2C) interactions in mind, but they can also be used in business-to-business (B2B) settings to track clients, sales leads, business contacts, and contract wins.
One of the core functions of CRM software is contact management. A CRM program allows the business to store and retrieve updated customer contact information, including names, physical addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. CRM software also makes it possible for multiple people at the same company to access this information as needed.
Another key feature of most CRM programs is sales pipeline management, which tracks the progress of each sale at each stage in the pipeline. Typically, the program reports the total number of sales, the average size of each deal, the average length of time each deal spends in the pipeline and the percentage of leads that turn into successful sales.
Robust CRM solutions include predictive analytics, which help businesses anticipate and capitalize on marketing and sale opportunities. By spotting those opportunities ahead of time, business leaders can proactively plan for and take advantage of them.
The upshot of good customer relationship management is better integration of advertising, marketing, sales, and customer service efforts. All communication with customers, from email marketing to customer service follow-up calls, can be routed through the same system and stored in the same dedicated database.

This is an informal look at the nature of the real numbers, including their construction and their most important analytic and topological properties. Most things are sketched and motivated by geometric arguments, rather than proven rigorously. The book's goal is not merely to construct the real numbers, but also to show why a good understanding of them is useful. There are extensive historical notes about the evolution of real analysis and our understanding of real numbers.
The book begins with the integers and the rational numbers. It takes these as given, although it does introduce some of the Peano postulates and shows how they can be used to define the arithmetic operations. The construction of the real numbers is then worked out in considerable detail, using Dedekind cuts. The book then continues with Riemann integrals, open and closed sets and the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem, measure (through Borel sets) and a little bit of Lebesgue integration.
There are two chapters in the middle of the book, on transfinite ordinals and on the axiom of choice, that don't fit well. They're well done, but are introduced without explanation of where we are going and in fact it appears are only needed for the construction of non-measurable functions. They seem to be overkill.
The competition in this field is Landau's Foundations of Analysis. Stillwell has deliberately set out to provide a different sort of construction where you understand what the foundation is supporting and why it is important. I think this is very successful, and his book, although much less rigorous that Landau's, is much more informative and enjoyable.

When we listed with Karen, we were very impressed with her expertise in the market value of the homes in our area. She also kept in close contact with us to keep us abreast of what was happening with our home, since we were gone from the area at the time. We sold our home at the listed price, including our furniture, which we now did not have to move. We were living in another home 250 miles away. We would highly recommend Karen as a Real Estate Professional who really takes personal care of her clients. Jim & Mary Hansen More Less

I entered into the sales of real estate after part time property management for one investor over a period of 10 years.

Ratings & Reviews
We contacted Karen in Feb 2007 to help us find a building lot. We had no intentions of buying an existing house but she suggested looking at a few houses anyway as the economy at the time was starting to favour buying existing over building new. We are so glad she did since the third house she showed us we loved so much, we bought it and are still enjoying it. Being Canadians and unfamiliar with buying real estate in the US market and particularly in Arizona, we were fortunate to have an agent like Karen to guide us through the process of buying a foreclosure, choosing house inspection and Trust companies and dealing with unfamiliar issues such as termite inspections etc. She managed the whole transaction to a successful conclusion even though we were 1700 miles away in a different country. The situation required exceptional communication skills and she more than met the challenge. We have no hesitation in recommending Karen as very competent and skilled real estate agent. More Less
In Spring of 2008 we were directed to Karen Hallett since we were in the market for a new home. It took about a couple months to find "the" home we were looking for, but it was worth the wait. Karen handled everything, leaving us with no worries. If we were ever in the market for another home, and were in the same area, we would surely look to Karen for her expertise. Thank you Irene M.

So I probably will not be advancing in the after this round. I knew the deadline for round one was going to fall into some pretty busy times for me especially after the audition extension was announced. But thats okay. My opponent did an excellent animatic and you should really go check it out!
I am currently back on the mainland spending Thanksgiving with my family. However, the main reason I have come back is so that I can finally bring my wife and two sons over to Guam. It has been a pretty exhausting process and Ive been dealing with some documentation issues in regards to my newborn, hence my inability to finish my pages.
But, that's life right. Need to focus on my priorities as well as work on balancing my art life with my personal life.
With that said, even with the likely event of my character not advancing in Sanctum, I'd still like to continue with the story I developed for it. I really enjoyed meeting all the people that took part in it and so many people had created such amazing OCs.
Ill ask for permission of course, but I really would like to play out the storyline I created utilizing the world of Sanctum as well as a few of the OC's that were submitted.
I'm not bummed out at all, because this was a great experience and was just what I needed to get out of my art funk that I had settled in for almost a year.
So congrats to everyone that finished on time and a pre-congratulatory salute to my opponent.
If you want your OC featured in the Parallel Sanctum comic Ill be working on, let me know. Ill be happy to include them
A couple I already plan on featuring belong to and

Nov. 18, 2003
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - New Mexico head volleyball coach Kelley Sliva McKee has announced that three players have signed National Letters of Intent to attend UNM next fall and play for the 2004 Lobo volleyball team.
The signees include Kim Smith-Cox (Flagstaff, Ariz./Coconino High School), Samie Weber (Fort Lupton, Colo./Fort Lupton High School) and Emily Zastrow (Glendale, Ariz./Deer Valley High School).
"This class is very athletic and is a group of highly competitive young women," said UNM head coach Kelley Sliva McKee. "By adding them to our current core of returning players, we become better and better and continue the process of building this program. We are very excited about what Kim, Samie and Emily will bring to Lobo volleyball and believe that each of them will help us take the next step in the Mountain West Conference."

You know, not much gets me too irritated when Disney decides to do something *off the wall*, but when I read Al's post today and found out what Disney is doing to the Fantasyland Theatre after Snow White is gone, I was so irate!!
Why on earth are they using that area for a stupid meet-n-greet with the Disney Princesses??? What a waste of space, if you ask me!!! And by what I can tell, the stage itself won't even be used.
That stage was built for stage shows and other big events, not to host some lame meet-n-greet!! I was really looking forward to seeing a new show, and now I hear about this. Awful, just an awful waste of space!!!
I could understand if this was temporary, but when they talk about removing bleachers and seats, then that sounds pretty permanent. Now, if they plan on building a new stage for stage shows, then great. But that doesn't seem likely.
Am I alone in feeling this way or do any other MiceChatters feel like me? Perhaps they're doing this to save on cost, but whatever the reason, it's ridiculous! I only hope this new venue flops and they realize that the Fantasyland Theatre is meant for hosting stage shows, just like they've done since it first opened in 1986. And don't forget when the Space Stage (now HISTA) hosted so many different stage shows too!
Disney, you really blew it this time!!!

It's like the Mets are the Red Sox' padawan learner in this regard.

HAPPIER DAYS — At the conclusion of the Thurman Town Board meeting in November, Thurman EMS squad President Jean Coulard (center) and squad captain John O'Neill (right) exchange friendly compliments with Warrensburg EMS Squad Captain Steve Emerson (left). Since then, the Thurman Town Board withdrew its financial support of the Thurman squad, an action which threatened its survival and prompted the agency's decision this week to dissolve. Warrensburg EMS Board of Directors President Robert Farrell said Jan. 29 that his agency's personnel, if available, would now be responding to calls in Thurman, but would need financial support from the town to continue to respond long-term.

A Comprehensive Approach:
Chapter 3, Section 2: Key Strategies
Primary drug prevention is a key strategy in a comprehensive approach to preventing blood-borne diseases among IDUs and reducing the spread to others. By helping individuals avoid drug use and drug injection altogether, these programs help eliminate the risk of injection-related blood-borne virus transmission. Primary drug prevention programs, which are conducted in a variety of settings, including schools, families, and community-based organizations and through a variety of channels, such as the media, are largely aimed at youth to encourage them to avoid or delay the age of first use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, and other drugs. Avoiding or delaying substance use can help youth prevent many problems associated with it, including truancy, academic failure, violence, thefts, motor vehicle crashes, homicides, injuries, suicides, and risky sexual behaviors (Ary et al., 1999; Berger and Levin, 1993; Cohen et al., 1997; Donovan et al., 1988; Farrell et al., 1992; Osgood et al., 1988).

mmmm beautiful ingredients and such a wonderful dish! I hardly ever cook Thai at home and I should more often. Husb is a lover of all red meat, lamb being one of his faves, will try this out soon. :)

Thanks! I'm lucky to have a great Thai grocery store close to me for all of the fresh ingredients...so its easy to make Thai at home!

We are having lamb for one of our Thanksgiving dinners, which needs to be kosher....so this will be amazing for the gravy. I had been thinking of vinegared mint dressing before. Thanks for this inspiration.

I'm so glad this recipe will work for the Kosher Thanksgiving Dinner!

Food is very good. I like when I call that they understand English and you do not have to repeat yourself 80000000 times. Staff is very friendly.

try the BLT it's great.

I first came here on my first day of work nearby, in August of 2005. I keep going back because the food is outstanding, the staff is friendly, and I love the variety offered. Everything I've ever eaten, from a simple salad to their delicious soups to their spectacular grilled vegetable wrap has been fantastic. Even with various employee changes that I've seen over the years, the quality remains consistent, both with food and service. The only thing that I ever think is sometimes a problem is that it gets REALLY crowded because it's so small, and the flow of traffic inside the store can be a bit challenging.

Always fresh, always tasty, always made to order! Mr. Su Rocks! Everyone is super nice. Yay...what do I want for lunch today? hmmm
Posted by MG on 06/13/2007
Everything is really good: bagels, wraps, omelettes, hoagies, salads. And the best part is they have a wide variety of items (meats, spreads, fixings) so you can go nuts customizing your sandwich/salad. The "chefs" are always pretty friendly and knowledgable. Only downside to the place: $10 min charge on a credit card. This may not raise an eyebrow for others, but I often find myself out of cash on a Sat or Sun morning.
Posted by Enstranged on 02/27/2007
I have been eating here since they have opened, the staff are amongst the most friendly people I know anywhere. Considering this is in Manhatan, the staff seem to be on a first name basis with all of their regular costumers, providing an atmosphere of being in a freinds kitchen for coffee and bagels. In addition to a wide variety of bagels and spreads (try the olive spread), they have some of the best soups in the city. On a cold day a large soup and bagel or wrap cannot be beat.

I order a breakfast sandwich almost every weekend and I couldn't be happier. Great food and quick service.

To enable a comprehensive support service for their farming customers, Keenan needed its livestock feed control centre to be in permanent contact with its machinery on farms. This would enable the precise feed specification to be achieved each and every time.
Vodafone M2M is great for our customers. They don't need to make a big investment in additional technology and for farmers who are not particularly IT minded, Vodafone M2M makes it so much easier for them to see great results.
Vodafone M2M SIMs and network connectivity established built-in, direct, wireless contact between Keenan's control centre team and the on-board computers built into its livestock feed machinery. This eliminated the need for intervention by farmers and improved the consistency and quality of the feed mix.

Okay, so... I'm going on a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera in May. Aside from all the things there are to do on the boat (whichever boat that ends up being) I was looking into shore excursions and there seems to be more information than I know what to do with. Having never been to the Mexican Riviera myself and not really knowing what the excursions are all about I, again, turn to you for advice/opinion on the subject of which shore excursions to consider.
I imagine most cruise lines offer the same type of excursions and while were not totally committed to a particular cruise line yet I think its safe to say were gonna go with Royal Caribbean. I downloaded the available shore excursions from their website and it printed out 40-something pages of things to do. Will you help me narrow it down to a few MUST-SEE/DO's? Also, what are things we should avoid?
A little direction....
the thing that makes deciding so hard for me is that I like to do everything. I like adventure. I like relaxation. I like being physical. I like be lazy. I like getting dirty. I like being pampered. I like history and culture. I like taking risks. I would, however, like a good mix of things to do. I don't want to do the same type of activity at each port of call. I want variety. I want the "best of". Also, we don't drink so any activity that revolves around drinking (e.g. wine tasting, etc.) can be ruled out.
Phew... thanks again for your help.

As the poet once said, love makes us do foolish things. And as another (very different) poet once said, love stinks. When you put those two universal truths together, accidents can happen…such as permanently marking you body with the name of your romantic partner. Sure, it's an undeniably sweet gesture (and there are definitely worse tattoos you could get), but what happens if things go south with your one-and-only? What if one day down the road your sweetheart decides to play hackey-sack with your heart and kick your butt to the curb? This could lead to problems. Just ask these unfortunate celebs!
Not only could it trigger bad memories every time you look down at your wrist and glimpse your ex's name, it could also be pretty awkward for any new potential relationship. That's why removing or altering the body art is sometimes the way to go. After Johnny Depp's relationship with Winona Ryder went sour, he changed his famous "Winona Forever" tattoo to read "Wino Forever." Ehh, doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Angelina Jolie removed her tattoo dedicated to Billy Bob Thornton all together, before replacing it with the coordinates of her adopted children's birthplaces. And then there are a few stars who just decided to save money on the lazer treatments and just let it be. Head up to the gallery above for more famous folks whose tattoos lasted longer than their relationships!

DALLAS (AP)- Airlines give many reasons for refusing to let you board, but none stir as much debate as this: How you're dressed.
A woman flying from Las Vegas on Southwest this spring says she was confronted by an airline employee for showing too much cleavage. In another recent case, an American Airlines pilot lectured a passenger because her T-shirt bore a four-letter expletive. She was allowed to keep flying after draping a shawl over the shirt.
Both women told their stories to sympathetic bloggers, and the debate over what you can wear in the air went viral.
It's not always clear what's appropriate. Airlines don't publish dress codes. There are no rules that spell out the highest hemline or the lowest neckline allowed. That can leave passengers guessing how far to push fashion boundaries. Every once in a while the airline says: Not that far.
"It's like any service business. If you run a family restaurant and somebody is swearing, you kindly ask them to leave," says Kenneth Quinn, an aviation lawyer and former chief counsel at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.
The American Airlines passenger, who declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press, works for an abortion provider. Supporters suggested that she was singled out because her T-shirt had a pro-choice slogan.
A spokesman for American says the passenger was asked to cover up "because of the F-word on the T-shirt." He says that the airline isn't taking sides in the abortion debate.
Last week, Arijit Guha, a graduate student at Arizona State University, was barred from a Delta flight in Buffalo, N.Y., because of a T-shirt that mocked federal security agents and included the words, "Terrists gonna kill us all." He says the misspelled shirt was satirical and he wore it to protest what he considers racial profiling.
"I thought it was a very American idea to speak up and dissent when you think people's rights are being violated," Guha says. The pilot thought it scared other passengers.
American and Delta are within their rights to make the passengers change shirts even if messages are political, says Joe Larsen, a First Amendment lawyer from Houston who has defended many media companies.
The First Amendment prohibits government from limiting a person's free-speech rights, but it doesn't apply to rules set by private companies, Larsen says. He notes that government security screeners didn't challenge Guha; private Delta employees did.
In short, since airlines and their planes are private property and not a public space like the courthouse steps, crews can tell you what to wear.
In the early years of jet travel, passengers dressed up and confrontations over clothing were unimaginable. They're still rare - there aren't any precise numbers - but when showdowns happen, they gain more attention as aggrieved passengers complain on the Internet about airline clothing cops. It's unwelcome publicity for airlines, which already rate near the bottom of all industries when it comes to customer satisfaction.
Critics complain that airlines enforce clothing standards inconsistently. The lack of clear rules leaves decisions to the judgment of individual airline employees.
Last year, a passenger was pulled off a US Airways jet and arrested at San Francisco International Airport after airline employees say he refused to pull up his low-hanging pants. The local prosecutor declined to file charges against Deshon Marman, a University of New Mexico football player.
Marman's lawyer complained that the same airline repeatedly allowed a middle-age man to travel wearing women's underwear and not much else.
"You can't let someone repugnant like that (the cross-dresser) on the plane and single out this kid because he's black, wearing dreadlocks, and had two or three inches of his underwear showing," says the lawyer, Joseph D. O'Sullivan. "They can't arrest him for what someone perceives to be inappropriate attire."
US Airways spokesman John McDonald says no passengers complained about the cross-dresser until his photo in women's underwear circulated on the Internet after the Marman incident. He says the airline doesn't have a dress code but that employees may talk to a passenger if other people might be offended by the way he's dressed.
"It's not an issue of a dress code, it's one of disruption," like watching pornography within sight of other passengers, McDonald says.
An informal survey of passengers at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport found much support for limits on clothing.
"Curse words on shirts always bother me," says John Gordon, who just graduated from film school in Florida and was dressed in khaki shorts and a T-shirt. "It's an unspoken rule that when you go out in public, you should be respectful."
But Leigh Ann Epperson, a corporate lawyer who had just flown in from Tokyo, says she wouldn't be bothered if another passenger's shirt bore the F-word.
"If people are paying the price for their tickets, they should be able to wear what they want," says Epperson, who wore a black sweater over a low-cut blouse, black slacks and wedge-type heels.
Airlines say they refund the passenger's fare if they deny boarding for inappropriate attire.
Clashes over clothing and other flash points seem to be increasing, says Alexander Anolik, a travel-law attorney in Tiburon, Calif. He blames an unhappy mix of airline employees who feel underpaid and unloved, and passengers who are stressed out and angry over extra fees on everything from checking a bag to scoring an aisle seat.
Anolik says that passengers should obey requests from airline employees. If passengers don't, they could be accused of interfering with a flight crew - a federal crime. He says passengers should wait until they're off the plane to file complaints with the airline, the U.S. Department of Transportation or in small-claims court.
"They have this omnipotent power," Anolik says of flight crews. "You shouldn't argue your case while you're on the airplane. You're in a no-win scenario - you will be arrested."

We're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
The iconic blue and white gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz was sold for—wait for it—$480,0000 at a Beverly Hills auction on Saturday.
Unfortunately, the buyer of the Garland dress, made by MGM costume designer Adrian, was not identified and its new location was not disclosed (but we'll just say its somewhere over the rainbow).
Julien's Auctions reportedly said the price for the pinafore dress and white puffy-sleeved blouse was in line with estimates—and although it's a pretty penny—but it doesn't even come close to the amount of moola spent on a similar dress worn during tests for The Wizard of Oz that fetched $910,000 in 2011.
So why the big price gap? Auctioneer Darren Julien said the price difference was due to the fact that only a few test dresses were made for The Wizard of Oz, whereas there are about seven versions of Garland's signature dress.
Other big items that were auctioned off include a Steve McQueen racing jacket for $50,000 and a slice of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding cake for $1,375

Otherwise I just go to Walmart down the street and purchase the same snacks at whole sale,loll. What theater don't have high prices on food? Their bathrooms and theater seems fairly clean when I come visit, and the people is nice and seem to like working there. Best of all I love the price, you can't that not even watching a matinee in any other theater.
What kind of idiots come here to leave a negative review based on the prices at the concession stand? No one is forcing you to buy anything there and show me a theater where the concessions are not priced outrageously! Good luck with that. This is a nice theater...not a restaurant. I have never bought food at a theater and if you think you are going to go to any movie and get yourself a drink and popcorn at Walmart prices, let me be the first to welcome you back to the real world.
Love this place for the most part! Bathrooms are nice looking and clean, the staff is very pleasant and usually VERY efficient. Food is a little on the expensive side, but it's a movie theater so that's a given.
It's not very close to where I live but we go there every Friday anyway!
My only notable problems are that you have to get there early enough to get a seat in the back because if you don't you'll be craning your neck up at the screen. You get used to it about 10 minutes into the movie, though.
And the movies don't seem to spend a lot of time there, especially the more popular ones, but that might not be their fault. :)
But other than that, I HIGHLY recommend this theater!!!!! =D
Love this theater cannot ask for more with the price of a redbox movie but bring your own popcorn prices in the theater are very expensive bathrooms clean and nice staff close by my home good for big families just make sure to come on a full stomach

I always enjoy going to Matthews Cinemark 10 theatrres - great shows for really great ticket prices! Theatres are usually clean and kept up. Nice way to see a movie on the big screen for the price of a Blockbuster® Rental - Joel M
