We applaud President Clinton for his December 5 appointment of Madeline K. Albright as the first femal secretary of state. After her hard work as the United States ambassador to the United Nations and a member of the National Security Council, Albright was the clear choice to succeed Warren Christopher as our nation's highest foreign policy adviser.
Congratulations are in order, but there is also concern. Yes, the president's mother is smiling down in approval of the choice of a female secretary of state, glad that her son who had learned about foreign policy as an aide to Senator William J. Fulbright has his own foreign policy protege in Madeline Albright. But there is always the possibility that she will be judged differently, by the dreaded double standard. Will her foreign policy successes be written off as having been accomplished by a woman pretending to be "One of the guys?" Conversely, will her failures be blamed on a woman's supposed inability to make though decisions?
Unfortunately, the answer to both of these questions is probably yes. We have progressed to the point where the president can appoint a female secretary of state, but not to the point where her every move will not be scrutinized from a gender-focused perspective.
The good news is that Madeline Albright can handle the scrutiny. She has played many roles in her life, several of them concurrently: mother, professor, foreign policy adviser, U.N. ambassador. She has seen it all and handled it with aplomb. As a foreign-born secretary of state, she is likely to be compared to the only other person of such a background to have served in that position, Henry Kissinger. We are confident that in attitude, as well as in gender, she will be different.
As President Clinton said in announcing the appointment, Albright has "steely determination" as well as a clear understanding of her dual function as a leading cabinet member and female role model. We see that the second follows naturally from the first, as she herself indicated in her own metaphor: "I hope my heels can fill your shoes," she said to outgoing secretary Christopher when she accepted her new position.
Madeline Albright has broken through the very thick glass ceiling of American foreign policy. Let's give her a chance to see what she can do with all that oxygen.

This is my favourite play-about vfr plane, as usual Javier did a stunning job on it. The plane itself, as well as this model feel very robust and real. The textures are great too.

The aircraft is very detailed. But it is somewhat lame, despite the turbos.
The old Hawker or P38 or Corair F4U climb much faster at full speed.
I have the problem solved as follows: Set in Plane Maker, in engine section, then criftical altitude of 20,000 feet to 30,000 ..
It's as if I push the aircraft a bottle of oxygen in the air filter. It climbs easily to 35000 feet.
Outside, the sound is ok. Inside the sound is terrible.
Reminds me of Verticopter.
Flight characteristics: Excellent!!! Starting and landing is a pleasure.
The raindrops on the windows are great. Only it's raining now with me in the hangar. Lol ....
Not Problem, It is very impressive in the rain.
I think 4 stars is realistic. The sound must be better inside.
I think the developer can do more. Because the competition does not sleep.
Recommended: Definitely!

I currently fly the T-34C for the US Navy and am absolutely stunned by the realism and attention to detail! I've been thinking about buying X-plane for some time and you've just helped me make up my mind!
I've looked through the manual and there are (as one would reasonably expect) some differences from the actual aircraft, but I am still amazed at how close you have come to creating the real thing. Nice job!
Looking forward to "flying" it and seeing if the realism continues in the air...

This is one of the best! From the minute you load it, growling and rumbling on the runway, you can't wait to get this metal masterpiece up and flying. I love the cockpit detail and functionality - it is right on par with the very detailed cockpits in the better fighter sims and manual switches are easy to use.
It's a joy to fly and challenging enough to keep you engaged. Worth the price easily!

textures and overall detail are stunning. I can't really say anything about the flying characteristics as i have been into one of these:) in terms of photo-like textures this is as good as it gets. Thanks for pushing the limit a bit further once more!

'Leverage' Season 3, Episode 13 Recap (Season Finale)
For much of the season, the 'Leverage' team has been jumping through hoops because of the mysterious influence exerted by the beautiful woman whom only Nate has met, 'The Italian.' And in a game of leverage, she had it because of her connections to Dominic Moreau. If Nate and the team didn't do her bidding, he'd be returned to prison.
So when the opportunity arose in this show to turn the tables on the Moreau, there was no question that Nate and company would go for it. "Let's go steal a federal witness," was the start of the con called the Cuban sandwich.
Naturally, there had to be a Robin Hood angle, and there was. An average, poor schnook of a sports fan had been Bernie Madoff-ed by an ex-goon hockey player named Mark Vektor. Vektor was a brute and a bully, but he was also the key to getting to Moreau ... in the most round about way. In fact, the scam they pulled on him was not unlike the scene in 'The Godfather, Part II,' where the senator got caught with the dead hooker in a Corleone brothel ... which was how Michael got the senator to support him during the congressional hearings.
In this case, there wasn't an actual corpse, just Parker playing dead. But before that, she was winningly impish as a sexy tomboy. In order to get Vektor to rat out Moreau, Vektor had to think he was up to his neck in trouble that required a better immunity deal than he already had.
That wasn't the only spotlight on Parker, though. She also rekindled her friendship with McSweeney, the FBI agent. You have to wonder if she might really be interested in the guy if she wasn't on the other side of the law. As fake FBI agent Hagen, she succeeded in freaking Vektor out while he was testifying for the grand jury.
The Italian (Elisabetta Canalis) showed up at the end, but by then Nate had figured out how Vektor had hidden the codes. It was complicated, involving colors and values, but it made sense. And more than that, it gave Nate the leverage he needed to push back in defense of the team. He told the Italian, "I assure you, I am more than the man you thought I was," and he is.
But Nate seemed to have played right into her hands by choosing to go after Moreau on his own. The choice to pursue Moreau, as he told Sophie, won't be for money ... it'll be for justice. While that's noble and good, will it also be dangerous and risky for the team? And at what price?
There were several bits of business that made this episode work, like Hardison and Elliot going undercover. Even though they were only supposed to retrieve a document from the court, Hardison and Elliot were posing as Boston cops, complete with a squad car and an unwanted assignment. That's when they're at their best, forced to do the job while sniping at each other and their peccadilloes.
About half-way through the show, when Vektor volunteered that he had all the dirt on Moreau and was ready to sing, you suspected that it was too good to be true. And the way Nate was lingering at the window was a tip-off that there was something afoot. Later, the Italian claimed that the sniper was a contract killer who wasn't connected with her, but if that's true, who sent him? Why would Moreau want Nate rubbed out before being able to exploit him?
Presumably we'll get these answers in the last three episodes of the season, but that won't be till December.
By the way, the episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes ('Star Trek: The Next Generation').
'Leverage' airs Sundays at 9PM ET on TNT.

When Sara Jackson
moved to Monroe from
the East Coast, her stan-
dard of living improved,
Everything from my
apartment rent to gro-
ceries was cheaper," said
Jackson, who said she fol-
lowed a friend to Monroe.
My money goes a lot
farther here than when I
lived near Boston."
Ouachita Parish re-
mained a relative bargain
for its residents in 2012,
where the cost of living
is more than 4 percent
cheaper than the national
average, according to the
Council for Community
and Economic Research.
The University of
Louisiana at Monroe's
Center for Business and
Economic Research com-
piled the local data for
the national survey.
One of the reasons
we participate in the
survey is because when
businesses or individuals
seek to relocate, one of
the factors they consider
is the cost of living," said
Bob Eisenstadt, director
of the ULM Center for
Business and Economic
Research. "The purchas-
ing power of one's income
is greater here than the
national average, which
is a selling point."
and utilities were the big-
gest bargains in Ouachi-
ta among the six sectors
Housing costs are
about 8 percent lower
than the national aver-
age, while groceries are
about 5 percent cheaper
and utilities are about 14
percent more affordable.
One of the things
people are pleasantly sur-
prised about concerning
housing costs when they
relocate is that there are
few monthly homeowner
association fees here,"
said Jackie Guillot, one
of the owners of Re/Max
Premier Realty. "That
combined with more af-
fordable home prices and
rent can make a real dif-
who owns 15 Mac's
Fresh Market stores in
northeastern Louisiana,
southern Arkansas and
western Mississippi, said
fierce competition keeps
grocery prices in check.
We have to keep our
costs low and expenses
down," McDaniel said.
We know our custom-
ers don't have the extra
money to spend.
Our customers watch
their budget, and they
have a budget. We search
every day to find the best
prices we can on grocer-
ies because we have to."
But everything isn't
more affordable in Oua-
chita Parish.
In fact, health care
costs equal the national
average here and miscel-
laneous goods and ser-
vices like dry cleaning,
auto maintenance and re-
tail items other than food
exceed the national aver-
age by 1.6 percent.
That can probably be
attributed to our smaller
market," Eisenstadt said.
There is probably less
competition for those
offering miscellaneous
goods and services."
Though Ouachita is
relatively affordable, it's
not the least expensive
place to live in Louisiana.
Hammond is the big-
gest bargain with a cost
of living about 9 percent
cheaper than the national
average, followed by Ba-
ton Rouge at 8 percent
lower, New Orleans at 5.4
percent lower, and Oua-
chita and Lake Charles
at 4.4 percent lower than
the national average.
Shreveport and La-
fayette are the most ex-
pensive places to live in
Louisiana, though they
are still each 1.8 percent
cheaper than the national
Although Ouachita's
overall cost of living is
lower than thenational av-
erage, there are markets
considerably cheaper.
The most affordable
market in the country is
Harlingen, Texas, with
a cost of living about 18
percent cheaper than the
national average, while
New York City (Manhat-
tan) is the most expen-
sive, about 125 percent
higher than the national
average and consider-
ably more than double
the cost of living in Oua-
chita Parish.
Housing, groceries and utilities among
biggest bargains in Ouachita's cost of living

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Susan G. Komen event draws up to 10,000 folks who 'race for a cure' at Coconut Point
ESTERO - Wearing a pink hat, a pink shirt and a pink patterned scarf, Joyce Kanning was ready to fight back.
Even though she has been in remission for 12 years from breast cancer, Kanning said she walked in the Susan G. Komen Race For A Cure 5k Saturday morning to remind her of what she has overcome.
"I've been very, very lucky," she said at Coconut Point mall in Estero, where an estimated 10,000 were walking to find a cure for breast cancer.
Kanning, 67, of Rhode Island and a seasonal Fort Myers resident, survived the same cancer that claimed her mother nearly 10 years ago. Kanning's mother was 57 when she was diagnosed and died two years later.
"It's great to see so many in pink," she said about the survivor's color. "That's why I walk. The money is clearly going to treatment. I know the future will be better."
With a goal of $1 million, Carol Conway, race chair, said they can confirm $900,000 has already been raised for the breast cancer awareness walk.
Kanning doesn't know Suzette Bell. But her story is also one of survival.
The 45-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer in April. Bell of Fort Myers and a group of 20 girlfriends and co-workers, who were all donning a T-shirt that stated "Girlfriends United Race For Love" on the front, walked to help others share Bell's story.
"I couldn't have done it without my friends and family," said Bell, who works at the Lee County Tax Collector's Office.
Last year the group, led by Toya Felsten, 37, raised more than $1,000 for the cause.
Bell is currently in remission. She had a mastectomy, or to have her breasts removed, she just got implants and is proud to be part of the event.
"I'm doing good," Bell said. "But, even though you know everything is gone, it's still always on your mind."
This is a sentiment Esther Rosado, 71, of Fort Myers understands very well.
She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2000, and after surviving that, nine years later she learned she had breast cancer.
"I was upset because I thought I was free," said Rosado, who has participated in breast cancer walks. "Then I had to start all over again."
She believes her faith, family and friends pulled her through the chemotherapy and radiation. She can now proudly say that she is a two-time survivor.
The race began at 8 a.m. for competitive runners, and at 8:15 a.m. for non-competitive runners. Those walking took their first step across the start line decked out in pink hats, boas, and even tutus to "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival blasting.
But the survivors weren't the only ones taking smiling strides toward a cure today. Runners and walkers also brought their pets.
Susan Strom of Fort Myers, brought her cat, Fuzzybear, in a stroller to the race. Also, young men and even children came out for the cause.
A 16-year-old boy named Aesop Brown won the race coming in at 16 minutes and 32 seconds. Laura Salerno, 23 from Fort Myers, came in eighth overall.
Devin Azevedro, 16, Trevor Scott, 16, and Kyle Scott, 15, all from Fort Myers, also participated on their own accord.
"My grandma died of breast cancer," Trever Scott said. "I ran the whole thing. It makes me feel good to know that I helped people that need it."
Kanning, who walked with her neighbor and best friend, Karen Yurch, 56, was also feeling good after the nearly 3.2-mile walk.
"I'm terrific," Kanning said. "We could have gone faster if it wasn't for all the slow people."
Kanning and Yurch crossed the finish line arch that was made of big pink balloons and was lined with hundreds of people cheering, clapping and desperate for a sip of water at about 36 minutes.
"She wanted to keep going," Yurch said about her friend. "I had to hold her back."

Alec Baldwin: I'm Quitting Acting in 2012
Hollywood: get ready to say "so long, farewell" to Alec Baldwin.
The Emmy-winning star of 30 Rock says that he plans to quit acting when his contract for the NBC show expires in 2012.
Check out photos of Alec schnarfing a salad on set -- and other stars chowing down
Says Baldwin in the December issue of Men's Journal: "I don't have any interest in acting anymore." At 51, he points out, "I'm not young, but I have time to do something else."
See a photo of Alec with his daughter, Ireland at an event
And while the actor has gotten the best reviews of his career playing Republican, bottom-line-obsessed Jack Donaghy on the hit comedy, he harshly dismisses all of his work on the big screen:
"I consider my entire movie career a complete failure," declares the star of The Hunt for Red October and Glengarry Glen Ross.
Awww: see personal snapshots of celebrity dads with their kids
Huh? "The goal of moviemaking," he explains, "is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that."
And, yes, Baldwin still regrets the infamous, leaked voicemail in which he called daughter Ireland a "rude, thoughtless little pig." "I feel the consequences of that every day," he tells the magazine.
Recap Hollywood's ugliest family feuds
Baldwin's protracted custody fight with ex-wife Kim Basinger has affected his love life, too, leading to the recent dissolution of a seven-year relationship with another woman. Yet he claims that he doesn't mind. "I'd rather be lonely than wrong," he says.

One the heel of the Brita rebate fiasco, Facebook is once again a buzz with news of a fraudulent Kingsford coupon found yesterday on Coupons.com.
For a while now, I've been making excuses for companies. While coupons have been around since 1887, they have become increasingly hot in the past few years. Many companies, eager to give their customers savings, jumped on the coupon train before fully doing their research.
Couponing isn't going away. It's only getting more popular. And, with so many well publicized mistakes, it's time for companies to step up and educate themselves and their employees on how coupons work.

The new Whiskey Creek Sports Bar causing excessive noise levels in neighborhood. ► Archived4039 Masonboro Loop Rd Wilmington, NC 28409, USA
The newly opened Whiskey Creek Sports Bar at the corner of Masonboro Loop and Sound Rds is causing excessive noise in local neighborhood. Due to the new smoking ordinance, the bar customers tend to bring the bar noise out into the parking lot at various times during the evening. But worse than the loud voices, the bottle trash noise is the most annoying. Many times through the evening, large trash cans full of bottles and carried and dumped into the dumpster onsite. At closing time (2:00), this will happen several times and actually wake you from your sleep. This will happen again at around 6:30 in the morning as well, as employees empty the remaining cans. Worst of all is when the trash collection truck empties the dumpster (first thing in the morning).
This situation has become unbearable and I hear bottles being dumped as I go to bed, during my sleep and first thing in the morning.

Strange dumpster removal/replacement every other day at 4AM! I understand that the trash needs to be emptied, but at 4am is not the optimal time. Not to mention it's violating the noise ordinance. The truck brings a dumpster, drops it in the street and then backs into the narrow alley for 15 minutes, BEEP BEEP BEEP, pulls the dumpster out, drops it in the street, then puts the empty one in it's place.

I understand directing cars onto school property (getting the kids TO school) because the southbound left turns fill up quickly and back out into the southbound lane. But, once the 'To' school traffic has subsided, is it necessary to continue stopping all Carolina Beach traffic for exiting cars? Seems like it could encourage more bus ridership if the exiting cars are not given such high priority...it is a U.S. highway and there are many more vehicles on Carolina Beach Rd trying to get to work at this time. Maybe the school could start 30 min earlier and this would not be as much of an issue?

I stress: Once the 'To' school traffic has subsided, is it necessary to continue stopping all Carolina Beach traffic for exiting cars?
Let's get the kids TO school, but after the incoming surge ends, the parents should be on their own to leave. Traffic congestion on the road (US 421) is a hazard. Traffic congestion on the school property is not. Why is the school/Sherriff creating a hazard on the road just to let the last few parents leave?
Maybe the school could start 30 min earlier and this would not be as much of an issue?
anon (Guest)
also, website says school starts at 7:45. Shouldn't the kids already be at school at 7:45? That is the busiest time for arriving parents. Are all those kids being written up for being late? Or is it just ok 'since traffic is such a problem out there'? Shouldn't the parents be dropping their kids off BEFORE 7:45? Shouldn't the school be doing something to resolve the issue? After all, they are creating the issue on the highway.
If the sherriff left at 7:45 (no matter what), the parents would understand they need to get there before then to get help onto the school property. Also, parents have to understand that if they all show up at once...there's not enough room on the school property! Expect drop off delays and issues.
Best thing a parent could do is allow their child to ride the bus. The next best thing is to arrive BEFORE 7:30 to beat the rush...in and out in less than 2 minutes.

Nothing has been done about this.

By Mehgaan Jones
Security has been tightened at the Harold R. Banke Justice Center, in Jonesboro, in the wake of what authorities believe is a threat to a sitting judge, and the discovery of contraband materials in the county jail that could possible be used to make a weapon known as a zip gun.
The incident has created a mystery that has the Clayton County Sheriff's Office and staffers in the county's jail on high alert.
A spokesman for Sheriff Kem Kimbrough said an investigation has been launched following the discovery of an allegedly threatening letter, and the contraband items that include: a bullet, a spring, medication and a nozzle, ingredients authorities say could be used to fashion a zip gun.
In addition, deputies discovered a letter that allegedly threatens a judge at the Banke Justice Center, whom they would not name.
"We [ at the Clayton County Sheriff's Office ] are taking unspecified measures to heighten security for all judges, and court services here [at the justice center]," said Clayton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, Deputy Alicia Parkes.
The Sheriff's Office did not release specific information, Monday, on whether the letter and contraband materials are connected, are treating the potential threats with extreme concern.
The mystery began to unfold on Friday, Nov. 19. An inmate notified a correctional officer about the contraband items found in the Clayton County Jail, according to Parkes. "The sheriff's main concern is how the contraband got into the facility," said Parkes. The Sheriff's Office believes that, if the materials were brought into the jail, they may have been brought in by an employee, or a contract worker, she said.
"If this is the case, the sheriff will bring whoever is responsible to the law," said Parkes. She added that this is a serious concern, but until further investigation, everything is open to speculation.
While investigating the contraband materials, the Sheriff's Investigation Unit discovered a letter detailing threats to a judge, Parkes said. On Monday, the Sheriff's Office would not release the name of the judge, the courtroom where the judge presides, or the contents of the letter, because of the ongoing investigation.
Parkes said the Sheriff's Office has reason to believe that the informant/inmate, who alerted corrections officers to the contraband items, may be responsible for the materials, and may have notified officials in hopes of getting a reduced jail sentence.

The more I learn the more it seems to me that the Globe story (which was not a scoop as such and relied on TPM and others) could be a turning point in the campaign. And I'm learning from Dish readers as usual. One writes:
You asked: "But if you are still technically the owner, do you not have responsibility for the decisions of your own company?" Short answer: Yes. As CEO and Chairman, you have a fiduciary duty that you owe to the firm. You are, legally, responsible (at least in part) for the decisions of your own company. If anything goes wrong, and the company is sued, or charged with criminal behavior, you're on the hook, one way or another: either you were ultimately responsible for the decisions made, or you violated your fiduciary duty by ignoring your responsibilities and allowing bad (or illegal) things to happen.
To look at it another way, what kind of company makes a change at the highest level of corporate governance (and it doesn't get any higher than CEO and Chairman) and takes over three years to actually appoint replacements? That would be such an astonishing lapse in good corporate governance practices that I'd almost rather believe Romney was just lying when he said he turned over control in 1999 (of course, since he certified that in separate filings, he'd be on the hook for a felony if that's the case).
Seriously, this guy's entire campaign is premised on the idea that he "knows how business works," and his company doesn't even bother replacing him as CEO and Chairman for three years after he effectively steps down? That sure isn't how business is supposed to work. One of the main points of SEC filings is that you're supposed to be able to glance at them and know who the hell is running the company. Who are its corporate officers? Who is on the board? Apparently, Mr. Romney would have us believe that if you were relying on Bain's filings for 2000 through 2002, you wouldn't have been able to glean that information, because he had passed his responsibilities on to "other partners." (In case you're wondering, yes, I actually am an attorney.)
For me, there are two questions: 1. Did Romney mislead the SEC in those documents or is he misleading us now? Either way, he is guilty of either a felony or a whopper. 2. What was he paid $100,000 a year for? So far, no answer to either of these simple questions from Boston. The lack of a salient, immediate response is what strikes me. Maybe it will come. But this is seriously bad news for the GOP.

The R8249 NMRA Certificated decoder is capable of 'picking up' the control signals from the 'Select' and the 'Elite' or any other digital system and converting them into actions which includes moving forward and reversing at a determined speed, stopping and starting and in some instances if fitted, switching the locomotive's lights on and off.
The Hornby R8249 decoder is also capable of keeping the locomotive running at a set speed no matter what gradients the model encounters.
Many newly designed locomotives have a socket positioned internally to accommodate the decoder, however, some do not and the basic instructions are included with the 'Select' as well as the 'Elite' and go someway to illustrate how to fit the decoder to those locomotives that do not have a decoder socket.
Locomotive will run at a consistent speed either on the "flat" or on gradients.
Adjustable acceleration and deceleration.
The greater the number of speed steps the smoother the acceleration.All Hornby decoders are factory set at 128 steps.
Two of the function outputs are dedicated for the direction of lights – front and rear.
The Hornby decoder is rated at a 500mA continuous current and 1 Amp for a short period. Should this be exceeded then the decoder will overload and cut out.This action protects not only damage to the decoder but also the locomotive.
Locomotives fitted with a Hornby decoder can be operated on an analogue system but without the benefits of digital control. (Not Recommended)
17mm x 10mm x 3.5mm
The R8245 Sapphire Decoder supports 1 Amp continuous current with 1.5 Amp stall. Low speed 'gear' for shunting operations. Size: 23mm x 16.5mm x 6.5mm (Approx). Set amounts of 'water' and 'fuel' can be stored on the Sapphire providing real time fuel consumption. Burn rates can be selected. All CVs can be changed. This decoder comes with a wiring harness and a 8 - 21 pin adaptor.
Being able to change points and operate accessories with the minimum of wiring and fuss is one of the main attractions of digital control and the Hornby Accessory/Point Decoder allows the operator to do just that. Wiring points up in the old analogue fashion can be quite a daunting exercise. On some layouts which have numerous points this can mean that there are metres upon metres of cabling plus a whole bank of switches. Hours can be spent carefully wiring up the points only to find that there is a fault or an intermittent connection which means more hours of crawling about on the floor trying to locate the problem. With the Hornby digital system these horrors can be but a distant memory.
The Hornby R8247 Accessory/Point Decoder can be programmed to accommodate four point motors or solenoid operated accessories, plus other electrical accessories that require a constant or delayed current flow, for example a turntable. Connection of the points or accessories to the Hornby Accessory/Point Decoder is straightforward. The four outputs are factory set for the operation of solenoid (point) motors, however, by adjusting the CV settings of each output a graduation of varying 'bursts' of current up to a constant current (turntable motor operation, lighting, etc.) can be obtained for each individual output.

Who can blame the Comic-Con masses for not showing up first thing Friday morning for a movie called Drive Angry 3D? The cavernous Hall H was suspiciously easy to get into today, even with fan fave Nicolas Cage slated to appear -- but those in attendance were treated to a bloody good trailer (Cage channeling '70s grind house road rage!) for what looks to be Cage's next truly balls-out, slightly-maybe insane cult character.
If Summit was disappointed at all about the half-capacity turnout, at least they can take comfort in the fact that, now, the fans on hand who DID catch the 2011 action pic panel will remember it come February. What was so memorable about the Drive Angry 3D panel? Hit the quick list below for highlights.
IT'S AN HOMAGE TO '70s EXPLOITATION FLICKS: Director Patrick Lussier (who created similar genre 3D thrills in My Bloody Valentine 3D) wanted to make an action flick that paid homage to the awesome car movies of the '70s. Influences include Vanishing Point, Duel, Race with the Devil, and Bullitt. Also: the 1973 Eastwood Western High Plains Drifter.
LUSSIER DIDN'T WANT ANY CG EFFECTS: Aside from filming Drive Angry in actual 3D, Lussier kept things old school and lo-fi, smashing real cars, damaging a bridge in Lousiana, and making stunt ladies (and actress Amber Heard) mount the hood of a '69 Charger while Nic Cage drove it at speeds up to 90 mph.
Read more -- and check out the film's teaser trailer -- after the jump
NIC CAGE PLAYS A CRAZY HYPER CHICK MAGNET WHO LIKES TO DRIVE FAST CARS: On his character, Milton, whose daughter gets her baby stolen and her throat slashed by Twilight daddy Billy Burke: "He's not on drugs but he does enjoy a bit of sugar. He's got a touch of the kevorka to him."
FAST CARS WILL BLOW UP, FACES WILL BE SMASHED, AND NIC CAGE WILL BE BAD-ASS: He drives a muscle car. He's out for vengeance. He saves Amber Heard from a trailer park existence and she and her daisy dukes subsequently join him on the road. Also seen in the Comic-Con trailer: Girl fights, slo-mo bullets to the brain, 3D impaling, cars jumping through fire, Cage shooting bad guys with a 6-barrel gun called "The Godkiller," William Fichtner as a character called The Accountant, and Cage driving a Dodge Charger with a bumper sticker that reads, "I brake 4 pussy."
Sample lines of dialogue:
"Where is she?" "First full moon she's dead and all Hell's gonna walk the Earth."
"That baby girl's all I got."
"What kind of gun IS that??"
"I am going to kill you and then I'm going to defile your corpse."

Bellator kicks off season 5 with return to Atlantic City, announces welterweight tournament
Bellator live on MTV2 returns to Caesars Atlantic City, for Bellator Fighting Championships 49 on Saturday, September 10th, kicking off the promotion's fifth season, which airs live on MTV2. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at TicketMaster.com and Bellator.com.
Bellator 49 marks the start of Bellator's 3rd Welterweight Tournament and will feature some of the sport's best 170 pounders, as Brazilian knockout artist Luis "Sapo" Santos, five-time Bellator vet Dan "The Handler" Hornbuckle, top prospect Douglas "The Phenom" Lima, Season 4 Welterweight Tournament finalist Rick Hawn, and Bellator 39 winner Ben Saunders headline a stacked tournament field. The night will also see some of the area's best regional talent, with local New Jersey, Philadelphia and tri-state area fighters will be featured on the night's card. Also announced competing in the welterweight tournament to fight on a later date will be Chris Lozano, Steve Carl, Douglas Lima and Brent Weedman.
"It's great to be returning to Caesars Atlantic City for Bellator 44," said Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Our last Caesars, AC event was a sell-out and a great overall event, so it was a very easy decision to return to one of the East Coast's finest casino/resort locations. "This welterweight tournament is loaded with talent, and Caesars is a fantastic venue for MMA, so fans in the house and those watching LIVE on MTV2 are in store for another spectacular night of fights on September 10th."
At the company's debut in Jersey at Bellator 44, Hector Lombard retained his middleweight championship by knockout over Falaniko Vitale, and Michael Chandler defeated Patricio Pitbull to win the lightweight tournament. Lyman Good and Dan Hornbuckle were set to meet at this event as well, but an injury forced Good to pull out, which has luckily resulted in Hornbuckle being placed into this upcoming season's tournament. The official bouts for the tournament are Douglas Lima vs. Steve Carl, Dan Hornbuckle vs. Luis Santos, Ben Saunders vs. Rick Hawn and Brent Weedman vs. Chris Lozano.

Tracing Europe's Long Road to Economic Catastrophe
March 09, 2012
The economic crisis in Europe reached its latest crescendo last night, as Greece managed, through furious last-minute negotiations, to convince its creditors to give it some more breathing room. But if the Greeks have managed to stave off ruin for a few more minutes, nothing has essentially changed in their situation: Their economy is still in shambles. The burning question on most observers' minds, and rightfully so, is whether the Greeks will ever manage to pay back their debts. But at this stage, it's also worth considering how we ended up on the precipice of such catastrophe at all.

Interview: 15 Year Old Liver Transplant Patient
This interview was conducted with a 15-year-old boy who received a liver transplant, and his mother.
When were you first diagnosed?
I was diagnosed with Wilson's disease on June 29, 2002 [at a hospital in my home state]. It all happened really fast. I had nepidema, and gained 40 pounds of fluid in a week.
Mom: When he first noticed it, he didn't tell me for about a week. It's a scary thing to have going on with your body. And with the baggy clothes, I couldn't see it right away. I'd come home from work and he'd be covered up with a blanket.
When you were first diagnosed, did you have any idea what it meant? How did you learn more about it?
Mom: When we got the diagnosis, as soon as I got home I did tons of research on the Internet.
I didn't do that because I was already in the hospital.
Mom: I had never even heard of [Wilson's disease], but I found lots of great sites to go to. All you have to do is search for "Wilson's disease." It's a genetic disorder, but we never knew of anyone in our family who had liver disease. Apparently his dad and I both carry the gene, and we passed it on, even though we never got sick. [Our son] never showed any signs of the disease up until recently. Maybe there were some subtle signs that we missed – but he was a healthy kid; if I had some pictures to show you . . .
Apparently it affects one in 30,000 people.
When did you first come to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh? What was the experience like?
It was different.
Mom: We came in for evaluation on July 16, 2002 and he was admitted on the 18th.
I was upset when I couldn't go home then. I thought I was going to be able to leave, but instead found out I'd need a new liver. It was frustrating to wait, day to day, [and have] all the tests. I kept saying, "I don't feel bad, I'm not sick enough to be here." I couldn't eat or drink for the nine days before my surgery.
Mom: I had to fly home, and his dad stayed here with him during that time.
I just hung out in bed, watched TV, and we took walks – we walked outside a little.
When you first realized you would need a liver transplant, what were your feelings?
I had to get it done. [I felt like I was] mentally ready. My dad had a kidney and pancreas transplant in 1995, and another one last year.
Mom: So it wasn't totally foreign to us. He saw his dad go through it, and saw all the pills he takes and everything, so he had an idea of what to expect.
What I didn't expect was what it would be like afterwards.
When did you have your transplant?
July 27th, 2002.
Mom: His 15th birthday was on the 24th.
The doctor came in [that day] and said, "I don't have a liver for you today, but I'll have a late birthday present for you." And by that weekend, they had found [a donor liver for me]. It had been nine days since I was admitted.
Mom: We were very fortunate that the wait was so short.
How do you feel now that you've had your transplant?
Wanting to get out of here. There was pain the first day [after the transplant], but it went away.
Mom: The first time he tried to sit up [after the surgery], it took three people to help him get to the edge of the bed [because of the pain]. But the next day he said, "I want to do this by myself," and he did. I think the hardest part for [him] is, you get pulled out of your life. He missed summer vacation, his birthday, and school's started now; he's already missed the first couple days of high school.
What information or advice do you want to share with other kids who need transplants?
Hang in there, and stay strong.
Mom: Do what the doctors tell you to do; they know what they're doing. The one thing gotten all of us through this more than anything else is faith in God. We had faith that God would give [him] what he needs, and he did. Ask for strength, and you will get it.

ALBANY, Ga. — The occupants of an Albany home escaped injury Monday morning after police say someone fired into their house.
Their dog, however, wasn't so lucky.
Albany Police Department spokesperson Phyllis Banks said that police responded to the 400 block of West Lincoln Avenue around 6:50 a.m. Monday in reference to shots being fired.
Police discovered a glass window broken at 415 W. Lincoln Ave. and, upon further investigation, found a bullet hole in a window frame at the home.
Inside, Banks said a number of people had been sleeping and were unaware that any shots had been fired.
Later Monday morning, police returned to the residence after homeowner Demarkco Malone noticed that the family dog, a black and white pit bull, appeared to have been struck in the abdomen.
Officers responding to the call said the dog was alive and that it appeared the bullet had passed through the dog.

(CNN) - A lawyer for Doctor Conrad Murray says jail is causing his client health problems.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter last year in Michael Jackson's death.
He was sentenced to four years behind bars with the possibility of parole.
Murray has been isolated in jail because of his notoriety.
Now, his attorney is complaining that Murray's five-by-seven-foot cell is so cramped it sent the doctor to the hospital Sunday night with shoulder pain and blood flow problems.
Murray's attorney is asking the Los Angeles County sheriff for an alternative solution, which could include monitored home confinement.

" Type: Soft Fruit "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I very rarely ever eat blueberries due to the price increase, and they currently, when full price, sell at £3.99-£4.99 for a small punnet, which in my situtation (poor student!) is an absloute no go.
For some people this may not seem alot, but in the current recession i'm sure most people will see blueberries as somewhat of a luxury fruit to treat themselves to ever so often - the price is definetly a put-off for many people.
It's a huge shame about the price because i love blueberries. Not only are they sweet and tasty, but they also have back up behind them to prove that they *may* halter aging symptoms and Alzheimer's disease. When fed to lab animals they found that the blueberries lowered brain damage after an experimental stroke, aswell as research showing that blueberries may help prevent urine infections. Blueberries also contain many vitamins & minerals so are very healthy. A heaped tablespoon of them counts as one of your five a day.
Taste wise they're lovely and very sweet. Back when i was trying to lose weight i found they usually satisfied my craving for sweets - a much healthier, lower calorie choice than a bag of skittles! The ripe, plump blueberries are usually juicy and tasty but the smaller ones are likely to be on the sour side.
Blueberries as you may of guessed, are a lovely bluey purple colour, but when bitten into you can see that the inside's a yellowy orange shade.
I only ever buy a punnet when they've been reduced, and yesterday saw that Tesco had there 280g organic/fresh punnetts reduced from £3.99 to £2, so grabbed one, paid and had it as a rushed breakfast on the way to a lecture. They were lovely and ripe, tasty, a decent size/plump and there was only 4/5 blueberries in the entire punnett that were small and sour.
I usually eat blueberries mixed in with yoghurt for breakfast and also often make smoothies out of them; many recipes are available online.
I'd reccomend these, especially the tesco punnetts purely due to the reduced price right now. They're healthy, tasty snacks that can even be used as alternatives for sweets and chocolate with children/people watching there weight.
An alternative, cheaper and much more economical way of getting hold of lovely fresh blueberries, would ofcourse be to grow your own. I've looked into doing this many times as it'd save alot of money, and it looks simple enough, however i don't actually have a garden big enough and i'd rather them be in a garden than in a pot so it's out of the question! Maybe when i'm home i will though.
A basic guide to growing your own blueberries:
Step 1: Firstly you will need to decide where you want your blueberries to grow; they can be sucessfully grown in the garden, containers/pots or raised beds with suitable soil. They need access to sun so obviously it's best for them to be outside.
Step 2: Prepare your soil. Blueberries require rich, acidic soil if they're to grow and thrive well. The pH of your soil should be between 4 and 5.5.
Step 3: Plant your blueberry seeds. It's best to plant 2 different types (no particular two types are reccomended, it can be any of your choice), this will ensure cross pollination; making sure that plenty of fruit will grow. It's best to plant your blueberries around august time as they require plenty of sun. If planting your plants in pots, it's important that there's adequate drainage - ideally the pot should be slightly raised off the surface to allow liquid to drain away with ease. If planting directly into your garden it's best to keep each atleast 1.5 metres apart to ensure each of the plants and roots can grow without interuption.
Step 4: Feeding & Pruning your Blueberries. After the leaves have fully opened and flowered in late Spring, the bushes will need there first feed. A tablespoon (not heaped) of well balanced, ericaceous fertiliser will do the job. As the plant grows and matures, you'll need to increase the amount slightly. Feed the plant again at the end of June, as the second stage of growth occurs in summer. Throughout the growing season your plants roots will need to be kept moist. Rain water is fine, and is preferred due to been acidic. Tap water is also an option, however rain water is much prefered.
*PLEASE NOTE*: Animal manure is not suitable for blueberry plants, as it burns the roots resulting almost always in the plant dying.
Come late winter it'll be time to groom your plant. Long canes will grow through the plants bush during the summer, giving the bush its shape. Trimming the edges of these canes will encourage a bushy plant which is the aim.
Any narrow, green growth from the base should be removed, aswell as any damaged/dried leaves or branches etc. If a branch looks to be dying it's best to take it out sooner than later.
The plants will start to flower the following summer after you've planted them. This stage will be followed by fruit.
I love blueberries and as a family we get through a fair amount each week. Blueberries bought from a supermarket are expensive although available all year round. Like many people I am very aware of food miles and the cost to the environment so with this in mind I have been growing my own for the past few years. I thought it was time I wrote about this amazing little fruit and hope you will enjoy reading!
Blueberries are native to North America although they have only been cultivated here for around 100 years. Wild blueberries have been enjoyed by Native Americans for hundreds of years however and it was they who introduced the fruit. In the UK blueberries have only been grown commercially since 1959, a fact that really surprised me as they are really easy to grow! Blueberries belong to the Ericaceous family that also includes bilberries, cranberries, azaleas and Rhododendrons.
How to grow your own.
I started growing blueberries several years ago and have been very successful. The first thing to say is that there are numerous different varieties to chose from as a trip to most garden centres will show! It is recommended that you buy several different varieties of shrub and plant them together to ensure cross pollination. It is possible to buy a single blueberry plant but it won't bear such a god crop of fruit. Blueberry plants grow to about 1.5 metres in height and are a very attractive shrub with bright green leaves and small white, delicately scented flowers.
Blueberry plants like acidic soil and if Azaleas and Rhododendrons do well in your garden you know you will be ok! The plants also like to be in a sunny position with lots of light. Blueberry plants can be panted in pots in the autumn or winter and will start to flower from about July. When planting put a good amount of peat around the roots of each plant. I know that peat is a controversial product, but growing blueberries will cut down on food miles as those you buy in the supermarket will have traveled hundreds of miles. It is a good idea to put a mulch of pine needles around the base of the plant as these are acidic and will help to keep moisture in. The plants will need to be well watered and it is best to use rain water as this is more acidic than tap water. However when it was really dry I did use tap water and the plants were fine! When they start to flower I give my plants a feed using tomato plant feed.
The plants can be planted into the ground once they are established. They should be planted about 1.5 metres apart. Blueberry plants are very disease and pest resistant and really require little looking after which suits me well! They do need to be pruned from November to ensure the plant puts on good growth.
The plants will produce flowers with a lovely delicate scent from about July, followed by fruit. The fruit begins as green coloured berries ripening to a rich dark blue/purple colour. The fruit will need protecting from birds! The fruit is best left on the plant for a few days once it has reached a purple colour as this improves the flavour. My children love picking the berries and eating them!
The benefits
Not only do blueberries taste and look good, but they are one of the best fruits you can eat in terms of health benefits. Home grown berries are not as sweet as those that are imported from sunnier climates and have a slightly tart taste. Blueberries are low in calories, fat free and contain Vitamin C, A, fibre and calcium. They are also very high in antioxidants. There has been research showing that Blueberries are very beneficial in keeping arteries healthy. If you want to know more simple type blueberries into Google and you will find several sites telling you all about the numerous health benefits!
Blueberries are really easy to eat as the only preparation needed is a quick wash and they are ready to eat. My children like to take a small pot of blueberries to school as part of their packed lunch, a bit like eating little sweets! My children often reject fruits like oranges as they need effort to peel and eat. As blueberries are so easy and fuss free to eat they are far less likely to be bought home uneaten at the end of the day!
Recipes and uses.
Not only can Blueberries be eaten in their raw form but they cook well too, producing lots of juice and giving a great colour. Blueberries can be easily damaged so take care when you wash them .They do freeze well and can be used in recipes once defrosted.
I have to say I prefer to eat Blueberries just as they are and love to add them to my breakfast porridge or breakfast biscuits in place of sugar.
I also add them to pancakes, again in place of sugar. Simple sprinkle a few blueberries before rolling up your pancake and the heat will burst the berries making then soft and juicy. Blueberries can be added to plain yogurt and stirred to give flavour and colour.I also make a blueberry smoothie that is very popular with my family. Just add a handful of blueberries and a banana to some milk and blitz.
My children love to cook and blueberry muffins are really easy to make. This recipe comes from the BBC's Saturday kitchen -
110g/4ozs plain flour.
110g/4ozs butter.
65g/21/2 ozs castor sugar.
2 free range eggs.
11/2 tsp baking powder.
125g/41/2 ozs blueberries.
Pinch of nutmeg.
1. Cream the butter and sugar together then ad the beaten eggs. Add the flour and the baking powder and finally the nutmeg and combine.
2. Put the mixture into the fridge and leave overnight.
3. Divide the mixture into muffin cases and then add about 8 blueberries to each. Push the blueberries down gently into the mixture.
4. Bake at 200c/400f for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
I have made these muffins several times now and they are delicious! The blueberries burst in the oven making the muffins very moist and flavorsome. They won't last long once out of the oven!
If you are not able to grow your own then blueberries are available all year round in the supermarkets. They are quite expensive with a small container costing around £3.You should inspect carefully before you buy as Blueberries are easily damaged .Smaller fruits can have more flavour than plump larger ones so don't always go for the biggest! However home grown blueberries are definitely the best!
Overall I really recommend you try this fruit if you have not already done so. Blueberries are, in my opinion, delicious, a gorgeous colour and they are really good for you.
I'm currently trying to lose weight, and so obviously decided to include more fruit in my diet. However, I'm really trying to restrict my calorie uptake, and so was looking for fruit with very little calories; these are perfect!
In 100g (About half of quite a large box; so for snacking I tend to only eat c.30g!) there are just 32 calories! Compare this the an apple- a standard Granny Smith apple there are around 80 calories. Plus these blueberries taste amazing!
Sometimes blueberries can be quite bland, but these vary between tangy and sweet, but overall its a great taste.
I have also tried Morrisons blueberries, and I can honestly say Tescos' taste much much better! Morrisons' are watery, rather tasteless and from Holland; whereas Tescos' are produced in the UK, thus better for the environment in terms of carbon emissions from transporting.
The prices, however, are a quite different. The box of 200g at Tesco was £2.35, but at Morrisons - it may just be a current special offer - a slightly smaller box was £1!
To conclude, these Tescos blueberries are sooo tasty and fantastic for snacking when on a diet. Try them!!!
