MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) -
Frida, a 5-month-old female octopus, opens the jars by pressing her body on the lid and grasping the sides with the suckers on her eight tentacles. With a succession of body twists she unscrews the lid.
"Depending on how tight the lid is, it takes her anything from 10 seconds to an hour to get it off," said Frank Mueller, head of the aquarium at the Hellabrunn Zoo. Frida opens shrimp jars before the public at feeding time twice a week.
Mueller said he taught Frida the trick after he remembered seeing octopuses showing remarkable dexterity off the coast of Morocco, where he went diving when he was younger. Frida was imported from Morocco.
"We just did it in the tank a few times and eventually she cottoned on," he said. "You won't see any other marine creatures do this. She's been at it about a month now."
02/21/03: Anti-Bush T-Shirt Banned at Mich. School
White House - AP
Wed Feb 19,11:52 AM ET
DEARBORN, Mich. - School officials ordered a 16-year-old student to either take off a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "International Terrorist" and a picture of President Bush or go home, saying they worried it would inflame passions at the school where a majority of students are Arab-American.
The student, Bretton Barber, chose to go home. He said he wore the shirt Monday to express his anti-war position and for a class assignment in which he wrote a compare-contrast essay on Bush and Iraq President Saddam Hussein.
Schools spokesman Dave Mustonen said students have the right to freedom of expression, but educators are sensitive to tensions caused by the conflict with Iraq.
"It was felt that emotions are running very high," Mustonen said.
Dearborn is the center of an Arab-American community of about 300,000 in southeastern Michigan. About 55 percent of the district's 17,600 students are Arab-American.

02/20/03: The Largest Single Day of Protest in World History
Wednesday February 19th, 2003
By Tom Lash
This past weekend an estimated 11 million people took to the streets in over 600 cities around the globe. This was the largest single day of protest in world history. Give yourself a hand. We are making history. We are winning. Bush is on the defensive and has actually said he wants Peace. We can thank Bush for one thing. He has united the world against the American military machine. The people are speaking with one voice. They have a single message. No more war. Do not start the killing again. Give Peace a Chance. The world is saying no to America's endless war against terrorism. The world recognizes this American made enemy as illegitimate. Terrorism as an American enemy is illegitimate because as Dr. Martin Luther King said, "The greatest purveyor of violence on earth today is my own government." Before we can address the terrorism committed by others, we must first address the state sanctioned terrorism we support with our tax dollars. It is this terror that our government inflicts with its military, with the WTO, NAFTA, World Bank and other corporate institutions and policies that fuel the anti-American terrorists. We must look in our own hearts before we look outside ourselves for the terrorists. A quick history review of the past year or so will help us focus our energies.
For the rest of the story:
02/20/03: Monty Python Excited By George W. Bush
letter from Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame) in "The Observer" (UK) 26.01.2003
I'm really excited by George Bush's latest reason for bombing Iraq: he's running out of patience. And so am I! For some time now I've been really pissed off with Mr Johnson, who lives a couple of doors down the street. Well, him and Mr Patel, who runs the health food shop. They both give me queer looks, and I'm sure Mr Johnson is planning something nasty for me, but so far I haven't been able to discover what.
I've been round to his place a few times to see what he's up to, but he's got everything well hidden. That's how devious he is. As for Mr Patel, don't ask me how I know, I just know - from very good sources - that he is, in reality, a Mass Murderer. I have leafleted the street telling them that if we don't act first, he'll pick us off one by one. Some of my neighbours say, if I've got proof, why don't I go to the police? But that's simply ridiculous. The police will say that they need evidence of a crime with which to charge my neighbours. They'll come up with endless red tape and quibbling about the rights and wrongs of a pre-emptive strike and all the while Mr Johnson will be finalising his plans to do terrible things to me, while Mr Patel will be secretly murdering people. Since I'm the only one in the street with a decent range of automatic firearms, I reckon it's up to me to keep the peace. But until recently that's been a little difficult.
Now, however, George W. Bush has made it clear that all I need to do is run out of patience, and then I can wade in and do whatever I want! That's why I want to blow up Mr Johnson's garage and kill his wife and children. Strike first! That'll teach him a lesson. Then he'll leave us in peace and stop peering at me in that totally unacceptable way. Mr Bush makes it clear that all he needs to know before bombing Iraq is that Saddam is a really nasty man and that he has weapons of mass destruction - even if no one can find them. I'm certain I've just as much justification for killing Mr Johnson's wife and children as Mr Bush has for bombing Iraq.
Mr Johnson and Mr Patel are just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of other people in the street who I don't like and who - quite frankly - look at me in odd ways. No one will be really safe until I've wiped them all out.
My wife says I might be going too far but I tell her I'm simply using the same logic as the President of the United States. That shuts her up. Like Mr Bush, I've run out of patience, and if that's a good enough reason for the President, it's good enough for me.
I'm going to give the whole street two weeks - no, 10 days - to come out in the open and hand over all aliens and interplanetary hijackers, galactic outlaws and interstellar terrorist masterminds, and if they don't hand them over nicely and say 'Thank you', I'm going to bomb the entire street to kingdom come. It's just as sane as what George W. Bush is proposing - and, in contrast to what he's intending, my policy will destroy only one street.
02/20/03: Please Pass The Freedom Fries & Liberty Cabbage, Please
bbc.com reports...
Customers find French fries hard to swallow A fast food restaurant in America says it has received huge support after renaming its French fries, in protest at France's opposition to the United States' stance on Iraq.
Neal Rowland, the owner of Cubbie's diner in Beaufort, North Carolina, said his newly-named 'freedom fries' have been a hit with customers.
"Everybody's been in support of it," he told BBC News Online.
"World War II veterans have been coming in, telling stories of when they were in France. They're overwhelmed about it, they can't believe it."
A sign in the restaurant's window reads: "Because of Cubbie's support for our troops, we no longer serve French fries. We now serve freedom fries."
Mr Rowland says he got the idea from similar protest action against Germany during WWI, when sauerkraut was renamed liberty cabbage, frankfurters became hot dogs, and German measles converted to liberty measles.
He said the move was not aimed at French people but at their government.
"We look back at all the numerous times the US has gone to the aid of the French, and now we see they won't come to our support," he said.
02/19/03: Lawsuit Filed Over Movie Ads
A class-action lawsuit was filed today in Chicago against Loews Cineplex Entertainment Group and the approximately 2,445 screens and 263 theatres they own and operate. The lawsuit alleges that Loews Cinemas purposely deceive moviegoers as to the actual starting times for feature films, with the goal of generating a captive audience for advertisements. By publishing misleading starting times in newspapers, on marquees and on their tickets, the movie theaters breach their contracts with moviegoers and engage in a deceptive trade practice. The effect is to waste purchasers' time by forcing them to sit through unwanted commercial messages. Purchasers are effectively forced to watch commercials on their own dime and time.

02/18/03: Bush Poo-Poos on Protesters
� � �
Feb. 18 - � President Bush declared Tuesday that he wouldn't be deterred by global protests against war with Iraq. His comments came as the United States and Britain prepared to push for a new U.N. Security Council resolution that could open the way for war after a two-day open debate on Iraq in the General Assembly. Diplomats said they expected council negotiations on the resolution to be wrapped up by the time chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix delivers his next report on Iraq - March 1.�
BUSH SAID that the size of the protests against a possible U.S.-led war against Iraq was irrelevant. � � � �"Size of protest, it's like deciding, 'Well I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group.' The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security - in this case - security of the people."� � � �
Millions of people around the world took to the streets over the weekend to protest such a war.�
�"Democracy is a beautiful thing, and that people are allowed to express their opinion," Bush said. "Some in the world don't view Saddam Hussein as a risk to peace," he added. "I respectfully disagree."� � � �
He said such a war remains a final resort, but "the risk of doing nothing is even a worse option as far as I'm concerned."� � � �
Though he called a second resolution "useful," Bush added, "We don't need it."� � � �
The new U.N. Security Council resolution will likely be circulated late Wednesday after two days of open debate with the 191 members of the General Assembly, who can voice their opinions starting Tuesday on the Iraq crisis.� �
� �"I still believe that we should have a second resolution," British Prime Minister Tony Blair told a news conference at his Downing Street residence in London. But he declined to comment on the timing or content of a resolution, which could open the way to military action.� � �
�U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte and British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock met Monday afternoon to discuss the content and timing of a second resolution. Diplomats said the EU's internal rifts could open again soon over the timing of any military action, with governments under fierce pressure from giant antiwar demonstrations.�
Both Washington and London have said they already have the authorization they need in a resolution passed in November and in earlier resolutions, to go ahead with a military strike. But the British oppose any military action without a second resolution.� � � � ���
�Asked how much longer U.N. weapons inspections in Iraq could continue, Annan said there was no fixed deadline. � � � �"But at some stage, the council may decide that we're just wasting our time and we should call a halt to the inspections," he added.� � �
�European Commission President Romano Prodi said: "We cannot forget the millions in the streets this weekend. So we came together to send a message to the world: Europe is united and its distinctive voice must be heard."�
France, Russia and China - all opposed to war now - are pushing to prevent a rush to war and let inspectors do their work while the United States and Britain insist that time has run out for Saddam to disarm peacefully. Only Spain backed Washington and London in Friday's debate.� � � �
Nonetheless, officials in London and Washington were moving ahead, toning down what was supposed to be a very tough resolution. Diplomats said the final text will place Iraq in material breach of its obligations and reiterate that Saddam now faces serious consequences, but it likely will not make an explicit call to arms.�
In a move that could hamper U.S. plans to open a northern front in an Iraq war, Turkish leader Tayyip Erdogan warned Washington on Tuesday not to take NATO partner Turkey's support for a U.S.-led war against Iraq for granted.�
The close allies have been negotiating a deal to allow tens of thousands of U.S. troops on Turkish soil to launch a secondary "northern front" against Iraq, should the United States attack Baghdad for allegedly building weapons of mass destruction.�
One of the main sticking points in U.S.-Turkish negotiations is the economic aid package that would compensate Turkey for any losses incurred in an Iraq war, diplomats said. There also are disagreements on military issues such as the command structure in case of a joint Turkish-U.S. operation in northern Iraq. �
02/14/03: Apple co-founder moves out of mansion due to cell phone
Los Angeles Times -
Apple Computer co-founder and wireless entrepreneur Seve Wozniak is moving out of his castle-style mansion in Los Gatos because he can't get a digital cell phone signal there.
Wozniak and his then-wife moved into the $1.7 million home in 1986 and over the years added rooms and fanciful medieval features, such as hidden tunnels, for his children. He also outfitted the home with the latest computer and communications equipment.
02/11/03: 'Jihad' Valentine Gets Yanked Off Shelves
U.S. National - AP
Tue Feb 11, 3:49 AM ET
By TODD SPANGLER, Associated Press Writer
PITTSBURGH - Target Corp. pulled boxes of Valentine's Day cards from its shelves after one contained the word "Jihad" and a parent interpreted the message as a veiled terrorist threat.
A spokesman for the retail chain said Monday the company was removing "I Spy" box sets of Valentine's Day trading cards from its stores after a parent in Pittsburgh contacted the store and law enforcement.
Among several other items, the card contained the word "Jihad" and the message, "It's Time to Be Mine." The FBI said it was looking into the origin of the card.
"Jihad" refers to the Islamic concept of the struggle to do good. In particular situations, that can include the waging of holy war, and extremist Muslims often employ the term with that meaning.
The publisher, Scholastic Inc. in New York City, said any association with terrorism was unintended. The company said it regretted causing any distress.
Aimee Spengler Dolan, a spokeswoman for the publisher, said the card in question was a portion of a photo and riddle from "I Spy School Days," published in 1995.
"Jihad" was the name of a child in a class the author visited, the publisher said. Scholastic said it changed the name in subsequent reprints of the book to Jared in 2001 but that the valentines used original artwork.
Nick Poillucci, 37, said he purchased the set at a Target on Saturday for his 3-year-old daughter to give out in her preschool class. He said he noticed the word "Jihad" upon opening the box at home.
"At first, we just thought it was in really bad taste or maybe some radical in the art department of this company or something," Poillucci said.
He said he became more concerned because a drawing of a clock in the picture had red lines emanating from it, as if it might suggest an explosion.
02/03/03: Picasso Reproduction Covered at UN
found on artdaily.com
NEW YORK.- The Guernica work by Pablo Picasso at the entrance of the Security Council of the United Nations has been covered with a curtain. The reason for covering this work is that this is the place where diplomats make statements to the press and have this work as the background. The Picasso work features the horrors of war. On January 27 a large blue curtain was placed to cover the work.
Fred Eckhard, press secretary of the U.N. said: "It is an appropriate background for the cameras." He was questioned as to why the work had been covered.
A diplomat stated that it would not be an appropriate background if the ambassador of the United States at the U.N. John Negroponte, or Powell, talk about war surrounded with women, children and animals shouting with horror and showing the suffering of the bombings.
This work is a reproduction of the Guernica that was donated by Nelson A. Rockefeller to the U.N. in 1985.

01/30/03: Post Office Missing Millions of Tubs
U.S. Government - AP
WASHINGTON - They're great for storing tax files and video tapes. Some people use them for footrests or planters. They sit in garages holding junk or newspapers. And they belong to the post office, and the post office wants them back.U.S. Government - AP Post Office Missing Millions of Tubs
Each is about a foot tall, 18-inches long by 13-inches wide, with the words "U.S. Mail" on the sides. They are vital to getting the mail sorted, processed and delivered.
Two years ago the U.S. Postal Service had 20 million of the tubs. Today they're down to 20,000.
So they're offering an amnesty: Return the tubs, no questions asked, and ignore the warning on the tubs that says people who steal them will be prosecuted.
Bring the tubs to the local post office or leave them for letter carriers to collect.
The tubs are handy, but they cost the post office $3.25 each. The service doesn't want to buy another supply of them.
01/29/03: UnAmerican Film Festival Back By Popular Demand
The Unamerican Film Festival is back by popular demand with a new lineup of smart, silly, and shocking short political films! Following up on its critically acclaimed launch at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, the Unamerican Film Festival is embarking on a 2003 world tour with upcoming screenings in Tokyo, at the Berlin Film Festival, in Paris, and at the New York Underground Film Festival.
Last year's Unamerican Festival caught the attention of the international media and celebrities like renowned actress Tilda Swinton and filmmaker Michael Moore. Since then the buzz surrounding the Festival and its revolutionary films has only grown.
The Unamerican Film Festival is a volunteer-run, non-corporate sponsored event, named after the notorious House Un-American Activities Commitee (HUAC) -- the arm of Congress that probed Hollywood on a witch hunt for communists. The Festival promotes shorts and trailers for longer format films to provoke audiences to debate the controversial and critical issues with which the films grapple. For this year's Unamerican, Festival organizers Esther Bell and Ted Passon have combed through hundreds of submissions, selecting films that fearlessly tackle subjects generally glossed over in the mainstream from white privilege and anti-globalization to media bias and the anti-war movement.
"The goal of the Unamerican Film Festival is to promote films and socially conscience ideas that are underrepresented or neglected by the mainstream media," explained Festival Director and filmmaker Esther Bell. "In a time when democracy and freedom are being outlawed in the name of Homeland Security, it is more important than ever to promote artists of all genres whose work strives to preserve the democratic ideals upon which The United States was founded.", explained festival director, Esther Bell.
For a list of tour dates, the complete lineup of films, or to bring the Unamerican Festival to a town near you, explore the Unamerican's web site at www.unamericanfilmfestival.com.
01/12/03: Death Penalty System Seen As Broken in Illinois - Massive Clemency
CHICAGO (Jan. 11) - Denouncing the death penalty system as broken, the governor of Illinois commuted the sentences of all the state's death row inmates on Saturday, granting clemency to more than 150 people in a dramatic move likely to fuel the national debate about capital punishment.
Gov. George Ryan -- a Republican who leaves office Monday after one term -- reduced the prisoners' sentences to a maximum of life in prison without parole. Three will receive shorter sentences, meaning they could some day be released.
"How many more cases of wrongful convictions have to occur before we can all agree that this system in Illinois is broken?" Ryan told a cheering audience at Northwestern University Law School that included several wrongfully convicted former death row inmates.
"I realize that my decision will draw ridicule, scorn and anger from many who oppose this decision," he said, acknowledging the feelings of relatives of crime victims, many of whom fought clemency. "I'm going to sleep well tonight, knowing that I made the right decision," he said.
The move follows an examination of the state's capital punishment system ordered nearly three years ago after investigations found 13 prisoners on death row were innocent.
There are 156 inmates on death row, and another person has been sentenced to death but is not yet in state custody.
Ryan said he was a staunch supporter of the death penalty when he took office four years ago, but began to change his mind after watching a wrongfully convicted man walk free -- only 48 hours before he was scheduled to be executed.
In a speech quoting Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi, Ryan called fixing the death penalty "one of the great civil rights struggles of our time" and lashed out at the state legislature for failing to pass reforms.
Democrat Rod Blagojevich, who takes over as governor on Monday, criticized Ryan's decision. "A blanket anything is usually wrong," he said. "There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We're talking about people who committed murder."
On Friday Ryan pardoned four men convicted of murder, saying confessions were tortured out of them by Chicago police. One of the four used a paper clip to scratch professions of innocence on a bench in an interrogation room even as he was being forced to admit to a crime he did not commit, Ryan said.
Leroy Orange, one of the four men pardoned, told CNN he was very grateful to Ryan, and looked forward to "having a positive influence" on his children and grandchildren after 19 years in prison. He was convicted of fatal stabbings in 1984.
Ryan's review prompted new questions about capital punishment in other states, but none has gone as far as Illinois in reexamining the issue.
Sen. Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat, called for a national review of the death penalty and a moratorium on executions.
Illinois is one of 38 states with death penalty laws. The federal government also has reinstated the death penalty.
Human rights group Amnesty International USA said Ryan's actions may empower other states to end capital punishment.
"Gov. Ryan has set an important precedent for elected officials who question the fairness of the death penalty but fear political repercussions," executive director William Schulz said in a statement.
A commission Ryan created to review the Illinois system found the poor were at a disadvantage, too many crimes drew the death penalty and police abuse and jailhouse informants too often played a role in capital convictions.
While opinion polls indicate most Americans still favor capital punishment, support has been eroding and the American Bar Association has called for a national moratorium.
The United States is the only Western democracy in which the death penalty is still used. The punishment has been abolished by its closest neighbors and allies, who routinely denounce the practice in the United States.
From 1976 when capital punishment was reinstated through the end of 2002 there have been 820 U.S. executions, 71 of them last year. There are nearly 3,700 men and women under death sentence in the United States currently.

A 'Softer Side' of Susan Pevensie
Actress Anna Popplewell shares the moment that defines her character in the movie, 'Prince Caspian.'
As the second oldest of the four Pevensie children, Susan is gentle and poised, much like the confident and well-spoken actress who plays her, Anna Popplewell. Even though "Prince Caspian" is the final Narnia movie she will be in (her character doesn't return to Narnia in the books), Popplewell's ties to C.S. Lewis won't end with the movie. After this film, she returns to Magdalen College, Oxford to continue her studies in English literature, the same college and academic study C.S. Lewis taught at for 29 years.
Describe your earliest Narnia memory.
I remember reading the books when I was little and really enjoying them, and I actually reread them during the first auditions, the casting process.
One of my funniest memories about being involved in the films is meeting William [Moseley, who plays Peter], because we actually had our first audition together. I was 13 and Will was 15, and now he's 21 and I'm 19. I remember him being very charming and very self-assured and fun. Andrew [Adamson, the director] made us play a word game in the audition, and I beat him [William] senseless. I won by such a long way. But he was lovely.
Why do you think Susan retreats into herself after she returns to England from Narnia whereas Peter is fighting and having identity issues?
I don't think she necessarily retreats into herself completely. I think it's just that she's quite a studious person, and that comment [in the movie, about her being alone] is meant to show that...she's approachable because she's by herself a lot of the time. I think also if you've been an adult for years, if you've been a queen or king, then maybe you don't communicate on the same level with people your own age anymore. I think later in the series Susan is described as getting into lipsticks and nylons, but she's not there yet.
Yeah, it's further down the road.
This is all conjecture, because it's not in the books, but, I imagined that Susan went back to England, and she's not quite the same as everyone else because she's had these crazy experiences. She is a hardworking type, and she doesn't quite fit in. It's not really because she's nerdy or horrible or mean or anything like that. It's just she has this kind of maturity to her that's going to set her apart from people her age.
What are some of her good and bad qualities?
She has a lot of common sense, and I think sometimes it gets in the way. I think what you're seeing this time around is a much more sympathetic Susan. She's still the voice of reason. I think it's a very difficult position to be in the family because she has a lot of sensible ideas. She has a lot of ways of thinking about things. Yet Peter is the leader, and so she has to take orders and to listen to him even though sometimes she knows he's not doing the best thing. I think she's a lot softer this time around. I think she's a lot more open to all that Narnia has to offer, and maybe a lot more human.

Will Queers Burn In Hell?
See more » Sodomitical Polity
An ex-gay evangelist addresses the issue of Jesus and gay people:
That is simply not a true statement, Wilkins said. Now a true statement would be the Bible does not record Jesus speaking on the issue of homosexuality. It is also true the Bible does not record Jesus speaking on domestic abuse, rape or incest.
This character went seventeen years without sex until he finally found a woman to marry. Since we (thankfully) aren't privy to their private life we can only speculate about the quality of that relationship.
If homosexuals are unable to make the conversion to heterosexuality, they should be celibate and seek a relationship with Jesus, Wilkins said.
I pity any gay man who tries to 'convert' to heteosexuality. His suggestion reminds me of this nutty Christian woman who slept with several bibles in her bed.
Gay theology?
Gay theology is a reinterpretation of scripture to say what scripture does not really say, he said.
Sounds like all theology to me.
He was oddly shy about one issue:
He would not answer whether or not un-repented homosexuals go to hell.
What really matters:
One student said, Such ministries and conversion tactics further depression amongst gays.
It is sad to think of gay men and women still in thrall to these silly ancient superstitions.
Baptist advocates conversion to heterosexuality

Nothing seduces dollars out of the bank accounts of NBA team owners faster than big men with "potential." The history of the league is littered with big men who didn't make it but did get rich trying.
JaVale McGee is among the newly rich, blessed with a four-year, $44 million contract from the Nuggets. But he has yet to "make it" in the NBA. McGee, in fact, isn't even a starter on the team, despite currently being the second highest-paid player on the team, behind Andre Iguodola.
In Monday's print and online versions of The Post, there is a story on McGee. In it, coach George Karl damned McGee with faint praise, saying "I'm not happy and I'm not disappointed" with how the 7-foot 24-year-old performed in training camp following his huge summer payday.
To paraphrase Karl, this is either going to work out really well with McGee in Denver or it's going to go really bad. Fair or not, the huge contract has raised the bar of expectations for McGee, and he should be mature and smart enough to accept that.
You have to wonder just how prepared McGee is for the attention sure to come his way — largely because of that contract. Fair or not, everyone is going to see his $10 million salary this season — with increases the following three — and have a comment about it. It is up to McGee to determine whether he'll hear catcalls or praise.
The burden of a big contract has proven too much for a long line of NBA big men. A couple of years ago, I spent some time talking with Jon Koncak — a former Atlanta Hawks center who in 1989 signed what was considered an outlandish contract of six years, $13 million. For a time, that made him better paid than either Magic Johnson or Larry Bird. His nickname instantly became "Jon Contract."
Koncak got the big money after a surprising playoffs in '89 for the Hawks in which he averaged 12.8 points a game and 9.6 rebounds. He never averaged more than 4.2 points per game in any of his seven seasons after.
Koncak said he had no regrets signing the contract: "How do I turn down that kind of money?" he said. But he acknowledged it created a distraction everywhere he went for at least a year or two, until salary inflation started to make his deal look normal by comparison. It made him an easy target for fans to mock, and created some jealousy among teammates — though he later said he received thanks from dozens of players around the league for essentially getting them raises by comparison.
Bottom line, Koncak said: "If you sign the big-ticket contract, you have to realize a lot more comes with it than just money."
The Nuggets will enter Philadelphia for Wednesday's season opener with a $3 million starting center (Kosta Koufous) and a $10 million backup (McGee). Snarky fans may point out this fact at many NBA arenas (and it's a good thing notorious sports heckler Robin Ficker doesn't go to games in Washington anymore, McGee's former team. That could have gotten ugly).
McGee has plenty of time to prove he was worth the money. He's a great shot-blocker already, and showed in the playoffs last year what a force he can be at both ends of the floor.
But, fair or not, he has a whole new set of expectations on him now. His potential seduced the dollars out of the Kroenke sports empire. Time will tell whether they got a bargain — or a bust.

Tuesday is Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball. Every player on all 30 MLB clubs will wear the number 42 on their backs — the same number Robinson wore when he broke in with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1948; the same number every club permanently retired save for one day a year.
"I've always known the significance of that number," admits Minnesota Twins outfielder Aaron Hicks, the team's only U.S.-born Black player, "definitely for me being a Black player."
Hicks ranks Robinson in the same trailblazing light as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. "They are heroes, and he is right up there with them," believes the second-year centerfielder. "He was the guy who took a lot of crap and handled it the right way. Continue Reading →

60 Christian Leaders to Congress: Don't Dismantle Pro-Family Tax Credits
A diverse coalition of 60 faith leaders are releasing a statement today expressing their strong opposition to any legislative proposal that fails to extend the 2009 improvements made to refundable tax credits such as the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit:
These tax credits help families meet basic needs, reduce poverty, and remove barriers to work. It is hypocritical for lawmakers who talk about family values to abandon improvements in these effective, family-supporting programs. Failing to extend the improved tax credits would jeopardize the economic security and well-being of more than 15 million families and more than 36 million children within those families. This is simply unconscionable.
The statement comes as the House prepares to vote on competing tax plans as early as today. The Democratic plan already passed by the Senate would preserve tax breaks for 98% of Americans, only allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for income over $250,000 earned by the top 2%. The House GOP proposal, on the other hand, would raise taxes on 25 million working Americans by undoing improvements to the aforementioned refundable tax credits in order to preserve tax breaks for the wealthiest few.
In addition to the statement, six of the letter-signers will hold a press conference on the Hill this morning sending the same message. Today's speakers include FPL Executive Director Rev. Jennifer Butler, Rev. David Beckmann, President, Bread for the World; Rev. Jim Wallis, President and CEO, Sojourners; Sr. Simone Campbell, Executive Director, NETWORK, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby; Rev.

Thanks for going the first,second and third mile for all of us.
Always whining, insisting their special Christian interest group demands are met while deny basic natural born human rights to the rest of us.

Guangzhou Revamped as New Sustainable Super City
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On September 24, 2009 @ 10:59 am In Architecture,Design,Urban design | 1 Comment
It's an exciting time right now for Asia, which is expanding so quickly that whole cities are being designed [1], and existing cities have to be redesigned to accommodate all of this new development! Guangzhou, China's 3rd largest city, is now joining the ranks of these foward-looking cities, and is getting a revamp to allow for more growth and at the same time make it more livable and sustainable. Some of the upgrades include mixed-use amenities like parks, commercial space, and increased transportation facilities that will make the city more cohesive. San Francisco-based Heller Manus Architects [2] is responsible for the master plan of this new Southern axis to the city, which will tie into the recently designed Northern axis, also designed by Heller Manus.
The plans include waterfront, open space, increased density and transit corridors [3] adding up to 3,652 acres of development. Once complete in 10 years, the North and South Axes will be combined to create a new urban center for Guangzhou. Green and open space will snake its way along streams and waterways out to the waterfront. Low density housing will be replaced with denser housing schemes [4], and government, civic, commercial and retail will also be added to create a truly mixed-use environment. Other amenities include schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, hotels, a TV tower, a sports park, an aquarium, a hotel and a ferry terminal.
Heller Manus was chosen for the redesign due to their use of sustainable design features, focus on urban open space [5] and preservation, and integration of traditional Lingnan culture. Taylor Manus, marketing coordinator at Heller Manus says, "Lingnan culture encourages the harmonious integration of nature with the city environment along with innovative garden design." Following this philosophy, the building design concepts were organized buildings around landscaped courtyards.
The expansion of the transportation [6] system is a major feature of the redesign, including the development of a light rail system. From the TV tower in the north all the way to the riverfront in the south, transport nodes will be placed along the corridor for increased accessibility. Mixed-use neighborhoods and stations will be placed at these nodes.

After less than a week filming in Manhattan, director Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) production has already yielded scores of new "spy" pics and videos thanks to the very public locations where several of the scenes were shot and the die-hard fans and paparazzi who turn out whenever and wherever the Bat touches down. Fittingly, title star Christian Bale was the principal actor most frequently photographed, but we also got our best look yet at Joseph Gordon-Levitt (JGL), as well as new shots of Batman's 'Batwing' aerial combat craft, video footage of a gang of motorcycle-riding goons harassing the Gotham Stock Exchange, and more.
The first spy pics to emerge from the Manhattan set were taken in front of Trump Tower, which doubles (exterior only) for the headquarters of Wayne Enterprises. Most of the shots featured a snazzy-dressed Bale as billionaire playboy and crimefighter-by-night, Bruce Wayne, but JGL was also captured in several shots wearing the Gotham Police Department uniform of John Blake. In the scene being shot, Blake escorted Wayne from Wayne Enterprises, past a throng of reporters and photographers, and into a waiting patrol car. Whether Wayne was going in for questioning or being placed under police custody for his own safety is unclear.
What is also unclear is when the fan speculation about JGL's "real role" in the movie will end. Even though all indications are that JGL is simply playing "a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty," many believe that he is really going to turn out to be Batman's sidekick, Robin, or even the new Batman should Wayne retire or get crippled by Bane (Tom Hardy) in the movie. Others are convinced that JGL is actually playing a villain such as the Riddler or possibly an agent of Ra's al Ghul's (Josh Pence) League of Shadows. With Nolan, anything is possible, but we're thinking that JGL's probably just playing a cop, albeit a badass cop who either supports Batman or is determined to bring him to justice.
Bale and JGL weren't the only principal cast members spotted in Manhattan. Matthew Modine, who plays a mysterious character named Nixon, was also spotted on the set. Based on his attire and proximity to Officer Blake in the photos, Nixon appears to be a detective of some sort, though why he was handling a pair of pink panties is anyone's guess.
As curious as we are about Wayne's situation and Nixon's penchant for pink, the most intriguing shots from the Manhattan shoot involve Batman — we're pretty sure it's actually a dummy and not Bale or a stunt double — and his Batwing swooping through the streets of and hovering over what appears to be a gigantic bomb. The large spherical orb was surrounded by two metal bands and had a counter set to "00:20." What is it? It's pretty clear to us it's a bomb, but if you need further proof just think back to August, when TDKR was filming in Pittsburgh. During that shoot, Hardy as Bane rolled a similar device onto the football field during a "Gotham Rogues" game and declared it "the instrument" of Gotham's "liberation," which sounds an awful lot like a magnanimous way of saying, "The bomb that's gonna kill y'all."
And, while we now know that the TDKR shoot will not include "Occupy Wall Street" protesters, it appears that there will be a violent parallel of sorts to the (mostly) non-violent action taking place in and around Zuccotti Park in the movie. In the following videos, a group of thugs burst from within the New York Gotham Stock Exchange astride motorcycles and carrying at least two hostages. It appears as if Bane is declaring war on capitalism as well as Batman.
The Dark Knight Rises was expected to shoot in New York City for two weeks, but as of yesterday morning the crew had begun to set up shop in Newark, New Jersey. It's unknown whether this will be a first unit or second unit shoot, but we'll likely know the answer to that question soon enough.
