GRANTS- What started out as a normal workday on Friday morning for Jay Chavez, Director of Transportation for the Grants Cibola County School District (GCCSD), turned into a day in which he witnessed first hand an incident that drew morning headlines from across the state and held up traffic in Albuquerque for seven hours. The incident involved a stolen school bus taken from an Albuquerque bus yard by Nathaniel Shipman, 27, driven to Grants, back to Albuquerque and stopped only after a Cibola County sheriff's deputy shot him three times. Shipman is in a guarded condition at an Albuquerque hospital and expected to survive. Chavez said he was driving to work and smelled something burning near I-40, exit 89, near the Skyway convenience store. He then noticed a school bus traveling down the interstate with sparks coming out from the front from a blown-out right front tire. "I could see sparks flying everywhere," said Chavez, who still had excitement in his voice after witnessing the incident. The transportation director said he wondered immediately if this school bus belonged to GCCSD. So he caught up to the bus, which was traveling at a speed of 50 mph. He pulled along side and noticed emblazoned on the side Albuquerque Public Schools (APS). He followed the bus to the outskirts of Grants, where the bus pulled off at exit 85 and then pulled into the Phillips 66 station on Santa Fe Avenue. The driver crossed the street and pulled into the Comfort Inn Hotel parking lot. "I pulled up right behind the bus to see if the driver needed some help," said Chavez. Chavez said he found it odd, "This guy was gunning the engine and wasn't wearing a shirt, and I didn't know if he was out of it. I became leery…I wondered, what is this guy up to? I thought I better not mess with this guy. So I just made a circle and drove out." After Chavez arrived at his office, he called the Grants' Comfort Inn clerk, and the clerk called police. At 5:40 a.m. the Grants Police Department (GPD) dispatcher received a call reporting that a person driving a bus was acting suspicious. Manuel Gonzalez, Comfort Inn clerk, said the bus pulled into the parking lot at around 5 a.m. "It took about 30 minutes for the bus to get out of the parking lot," said Gonzalez, "The driver kept popping the clutch and revving the engine. I thought, either this guy doesn't know how to drive, or the bus is breaking down." "This didn't seem right," said Gonzales. "I couldn't shake it out of my head that this bus must be stolen." So he called the police. GPD officers Karl Ustupski and Chris Zook responded, and upon their arrival, the bus took off and rammed the GPD vehicle. According to Grants Police Department, Lt. Maxine Spidle, Ustupski discharged his firearm as the bus was entering the I-40 ramp toward Albuquerque. It was not determined if the shot fired by Ustupski hit Shipman. The New Mexico State Police are investigating the shooting incident. "The suspect was all over the road. It was a horrific incident. We're very blessed that we do not have innocent people that were in harm's way from the suspect as he made his way from Grants," said Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston. According to court documents, Shipman's arrest record revealed that he has been involved in numerous incidents in the past few years. He was accused of using a motorized cart to steal from a Walmart, disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer, and he was detained after he was found in a neighbor's yard fighting with a mailbox, hitting a vehicle, and making snow angels in the gravel. All court document reports indicate that these incidents occurred in Albuquerque.

Good value.
Good value, nice room & pleasant staff.
I booked this hotel for myself and disabled partner, the accessible facilities were not quite up to expectations of other Holiday Inns we have stayed at.
I compared this hotel to the one at Glasgow airport and it wasn't of the same standard. At check in we were not told of the times for breakfast and not advised where the restaurant was located, we were not told the hotel did not have a lift and our room was downstairs.
The stairlift broke with my partner on it and had to be taken apart, I had to go to reception each time we needed to go out to get staff to lift the mobility scooter up the stairs. The wifi did not work properly despite being members of the Holiday Inn group club and the connection was ridiculous it took forever to connect and most of the time you could not get access.

Food and drink ordinary.
The first night we booked dinner for 6pm and it was 6.30pm before the restaurant opened. The second night we booked dinner for 6.15pm and it was 6.45pm before the restaurant opened. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

Stayed at holiday inn Knowsley this holiday inn at Stoke on Trent loads better.
It was "ok"
The room it's self was very comfy & apart from a few bits on the floor (mainly in the corners) it was clean.
The problem I had was there was a issue with the heating that would cause a slight knocking sound every couple of seconds which you don't notice until you are trying to get to sleep. So I had a very restless night. Also there were kids running up & down the corridors from 7 onwards, something which you can't complain about but just worth a mention as the walls seemed quite thin!. I did make a point in telling reception about the main issue, they did say they would get it checked out but that's as far as the conversation went!. This wouldn't put me off staying again but maybe I would have said something earlier & demanded a change of room!.

Response from hotel
Dear David C,
As always we are glad to read feedback from one of our valued guests. We are glad you were satisfied with the level of cleanliness in the hotel and liked the room. However, we are truly sorry that you were inconvenienced due to insufficient soundproofing in the room as well as, a mall functioning heating system.
We appreciate your feedback as this is our best resource for improving guest services. We hope you give us a chance in the future to show you how great our hotel is.

about me
About me : I'm very active, always doing something. I like to work out, play racquetball, and swim. I will be the first one to laugh at myself if I trip and fall. (I may laugh at you too if you are not hurt ) I don't take life so seriously except when it is socially unacceptable to not do so. On saturday mornings you'll likely find me dancing around the kitchen making breakfast and singing. I love most all music but mostly gangster rap (just kidding) I am a down to earth, light hearted, and fun loving. (I feel like I'm doing an infomercial) A neat home is a priority although I am not OCD about it. My philosophy is everything in life is a balance. I love being with my family and friends. I have a little cleaning business which has taken off quite nicely to the point where I am going to be hiring some more people soon. I am also going to school to be an estitician (skin care)in a few weeks. I'm a girl in every sense of the word but I grew up with a single father who had no boys. I have raced motorcycles, enjoy camping, done lot's of off roading and I can shoot a gun better than most guys can. I don't mind gettin a lil bit dirty!! I have no problem letting the man be the man in the relationship and know what it takes to make a man happy. My friends say I'm fun to be around. (of course they are going to say that though, I mean they are my friends )I am a busy, healthy, humble, smart, and witty, girl next door type. I love reality tv, discovery channel, history channel, movies, and (too many to list). I enjoy Mexican, Italian, Thai, Chinese food, and good ole American cheeseburgers and hot dogs! (So basically any kind.) Except raw fish, pigs feet or cow tongue, that's just disgusting. Comfortable in any social situation,(and I know how to behave myself if I have to) I enjoy getting dressed up, but also like to hang out at a pub and play pool.

MEA partners with MAMESubmitted by mgarcia on Tue, 09/29/2015 - 14:34
Since 2003, Michigan has experienced the highest loss of certified school librarians in the country. With numbers dropping from 1,429 in 2003 to 531 in 2013—a 63 percent loss—Michigan now ranks 46th in the country with one certified working school librarian for every 2,494 students versus the national average of one school librarian for every 1,085 students.
Meet Michigan's new State Superintendent Brian WhistonSubmitted by mgarcia on Tue, 09/29/2015 - 14:15
He's been a legislative aide, an education lobbyist, a university instructor and a local superintendent, but he says he never wanted to be the State Superintendent of Michigan schools. Nevertheless on July 1, Brian Whiston took on that new role at a time when public schools are struggling with tight budgets, the effects of standardized testing, educator evaluations, and relentless criticism.
Democrats have a plan to reverse tax hits to the middle classSubmitted by mgarcia on Tue, 09/29/2015 - 13:03
Yesterday, Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate launched a bold plan to relieve tax burdens on families, seniors and individuals. "Blueprint for Michigan's Families" would restore nearly $1 billion in tax credits lost in Gov. Snyder's 2011 tax shift from the middle class, seniors and working families to the $2 billion in tax breaks for big corporations.
Labor Voices: Policymakers need to listen to educatorsSubmitted by mgarcia on Wed, 09/23/2015 - 10:10
'Ask us!"
When I talk to school employees across Michigan, I hear this frequent frustration — too many decisions that impact students and educators get made by policymakers without input from the experts working every day on the front lines.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to semiconductor device manufacturing and particularly to the manufacturing of metallurgy for interconnecting elements in integrated circuit devices wherein particular efforts are directed to increasing the yield of semiconductor devices.
2. Background of the Invention
In the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuit devices the metallurgy which interconnects semiconductor devices is of great importance. As circuit densities become greater the importance of low resistivity interconnects becomes critical. Recently, copper has begun to replace aluminum as the conductor of choice. Copper exhibits lower susceptibility to electromigration failure as compared to aluminum.
Because of the difficulty in defining fine lines in integrated circuit designs, the use of Chemical-Mechanical-Planarization (CMP) has become the process of choice by circuit manufacturers. CMP technology, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,789,648 to Chow et al. requires that a recess be formed in a dielectric layer, a conductor is deposited within the recess and its adjacent regions and the excess conductor is removed by a CMP process. Dual Damascene is described as the process in which an entire level of conductive metallurgy, lateral troughs and vertical vias, is formed using a single deposition followed by a single planarization step.
Despite the fact that copper-based metallurgy has certain advantages over aluminum-based metallurgy, copper has certain negative aspects which need to be dealt with in order to develop a manufacturable copper metallurgy process. One of the drawbacks of copper is its ability to diffuse rapidly through standard semiconductor insulators and into silicon causing "poisoning" of pn junctions and failure of integrated circuits. To avoid this problem it is necessary to provide extensive diffusion barriers which entirely surround the copper conductors.
Another difficulty faced by copper-based metallurgy lies in the lack of a self-passivating oxide as found in aluminum-based metallurgy. Copper-based metallurgy cannot be exposed for extended periods of time to oxidizing atmospheres without jeopardizing the integrity of interconnections.
Metallurgy levels in semiconductor technology must meet two requirements, one, it must connect vertically between a semiconductor and another level of metal or between two different levels of metal and, two, it must interconnect two or more points in a plane laterally. The conductive portions of the metallurgy are normally formed in an matrix of dielectric insulator.
In the well known dual Damascene technology, both vertical (vias) and lateral (troughs) are defined sequentially in the intermetal insulator prior to the deposition or formation of any conductive layers. Techniques exist for via first and for trough first dual Damascene processing. Once the insulator has been patterned, copper can be formed by any preferable method such as chemical vapor deposition or electroplating. The amount of deposited copper is determined by that which can completely fill all of the vias and troughs. Since these deposition techniques are substantially conformal processes a certain amount of excess copper is formed which must be removed in order to delineate the metallurgy as isolated units.
The preferred process for removal of excess copper is that of Chemical-Mechanical Planarization or CMP as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,789,648 to Chow et al., issued Dec. 6, 1988 and numerous subsequent references. CMP of metal layers requires a polishing tool and a slurry which is usually chemically reactive with the metal. The article "Chemical-mechanical polishing of copper with oxide and polymer interlevel dielectrics," R. J. Gutman et al., Thin Solid Films, Vol. 270, No. 1-2, Dec. 1, 1995, pp. 596-600 describes slurries for CMP of copper including nitric acid based slurries.
Although it is desirable to provide a coplanar metal conductor/insulator surface, CMP technology has two primary and competitive process detractors: dishing and erosion. Dishing is the phenomenon in which wide areas of polished copper are over polished creating a dish-like depression in the surface of the copper. Too much dishing causes failures in copper lines. Erosion is the phenomenon in which the intermetal dielectric is caused to be eroded allowing too much copper to be removed. Dishing is a function of line width while erosion is a function of the density of lines. In a typical semiconductor circuit the thickness of the conductive layers are on the order of a single micron or on the order of {fraction (1/70)}th of the thickness of ordinary paper.
As suggested in the above article, the addition of a film-forming organic reagent can be added to a slurry in order to protect the copper from the chemical environment of the slurry. Benzotriazole (BTA) is a known copper surface passivation agent. When BTA is added to an acid-based slurry, a non-native surface film is formed which inhibits the etching of copper in low lying regions. This surface film forms a passivating organic layer on the surface of the copper which keeps the copper from oxidizing.
It has been found in the manufacturing of dual Damascene copper metallurgy that certain known practices create problems in consistently providing high yield of product wafer particularly where frequent testing is required at intermediate levels of metallurgy. A significant number of failures have been observed by the inventors when attempts have been made to probe semiconductor chips polished in slurries using BTA as a passivating agent. While probe pressure was adequate to penetrate the passivation film is many cases, the number of failures attributed to high resistance two-point probes was unacceptable.
Accordingly, it is an object to increase the yield of processed wafers containing copper metallurgy.
It is another object of the invention to provide a process which is capable of easy integration into dual Damascene copper technology.
It is yet another object to improve the state of copper metallurgy manufacturing by providing a process which is easily implemented by any number of typically available tools of a semiconductor manufacturing line.
These and other objects are achieved by a simple annealing process which not only eliminates the non-native organic film formed by the presence of BTA in a slurry, but also reduces the amount of oxidation experienced by the exposed, unprotected areas of copper on semiconductor wafers without compromising the ability to probe wafers or to perform subsequent processing steps in a manufacturing environment.
The above objects and other advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments of the invention.
In developing a manufacturable copper Back End Of the Line (BEOL) metallization process, the inventors have discovered that at certain levels of processing where test probing is required to verify characteristics of metal levels that probe results would become irregular if not unacceptable. This is particularly true in a volume manufacturing environment in which hundreds or thousands of wafers are required to be processed.
As described above, in the process of forming a copper dual Damascene structure it is necessary to provide recesses in a dielectric layer which in turn are filled with a copper diffusion barrier or liner followed by deposition of copper. The specific liner material and method of depositing of copper may be selected from any known technique suitable of providing the required characteristics for manufacturing product. Following the deposition of copper, it is necessary to remove excess copper by utilization of a CMP process. In particular, the CMP slurry selected was a nitric acid-based in which the chemical benzotriazole (BTA), sometimes designated as azimidobenzene. BTA is well known as a passivation agent for copper as it provides an adherent surface film relied on in the planarization process to prevent the excess erosion or dishing of copper during the CMP process.
The BTA passivation is only a few atomic layers thick and electrically probing a single copper pad is not a problem. In a manufacturing environment, however, hundreds or thousands of wafers are processed per day, and, since typical wafers have in excess of 1000 copper pads which need to be probed, a wafer tester can probe millions of copper pads per day. During the implementation of high volume manufacturing testing, the inventors discovered that approximately 0.1-1% of the copper pads probed had poor probe contact yields, which resulted in an increase in the probe-to-copper-pad contact resistance. This increased contact resistance resulted in an increase in parametric variability and, in some cases, increased wafer scrap due to out of specification electrical parameters. The cause of the poor probing on 0.1%-1% of the copper pads is not fully understood but it is believed to be related to variation in probe pressure or probe cleanliness. Note that manufacturing probe testers use probe cards with hundreds or thousands or probes in each card and it is extremely difficult to independently verify the probe pressure and cleanliness of each individual probe tip. The inventors have discovered if the BTA was removed prior to probing the copper pads, the incidence of high probe contact resistance and poor probe contact yield decreased to much less than 0.1%.
Following the CMP process semiconductor wafers are cleaned to remove excess slurry and any residual grit or other foreign matter which may contaminate the surfaces of the wafers. Any commercial post CMP cleaning process is deemed effective.
The inventors have discovered that following the cleaning, it is necessary to anneal the processed wafers in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature between 100� and 700� C. for a time period ranging from about 1 to 60 minutes in order to maximize product yield at probe testing. "Non-oxidizing" can be any environment which does not promote oxidation and can include vacuum environments where the partial pressure of oxygen is extremely low. Non-oxidizing can also include a reducing environment including one containing hydrogen, nitrogen or ammonia. It is believed that the annealing aids in removal of non-native organic residue not removed by the post-CMP cleaning process.
While annealing can be attributed to removal of organic compounds, if the wafers are permitted to be exposed to an oxidizing atmosphere such as ambient conditions, excessive oxidation can occur which can be more detrimental to yield than the original passivation film.
In order to make the invention useful for the largest number of applications and situations, several preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described.
In the first embodiment, post-CMP copper dual Damascene wafers are annealed in a processing tool which is capable of providing both the required non-oxidizing atmosphere as well as the required temperature. Any number of commercially available existing physical vapor deposition (PVD) and/or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) tools meet this need quite well.
A typical anneal process would include the steps of placing wafers within the pump down chambers of a tool an providing a vacuum of about 50 mTorr to 2 Torr and there after heating wafers to about 325� to 370� C. a time of about 2-4 minutes. The preferable conditions are 350� C. for 3 minutes. After the anneal, pressure can be allowed to return to room temperature at a normal rate for the particular tool. Since the vapor pressures of any normal atmospheric gases present in the vacuum chamber are so low, no special conditions are believed to be necessary to further create the required "non-oxidizing" atmosphere.
Another annealing environment can be a conventional bulk furnace comprising a standard quartz walled tube furnace. Here, because of the long heat up and cool down times required, it is only necessary to use a temperature of between 100� C. and 275� for between 10 and 75 minutes. The preferable conditions are 260� C. for 20 minutes. Because the furnace operates at atmospheric pressure, it is necessary to artificially exclude oxygen by the use of a nitrogen gas environment. It is important that the non-oxidizing atmosphere be maintained until the wafer temperature cools to less than about 125� C. to prevent excessive atmospheric oxidation which might be caused by oxygen in room air.
Yet another, and the preferred, embodiment is to utilize a Rapid Thermal Processor (RTP) to provide the most efficient and lowest cost of ownership for the process. Here Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) is implemented in nitrogen under the following conditions: using a thermal ramp up rate of about 50� C. per second up to about 425� C., hold for about 45 seconds and cool down at about 60� C. per second to a temperature of about 125� C., again to avoid excessive atmospheric oxidation in room ambient conditions.
The choice of any one of the embodiments for actual use in a manufacturing environment, will be dependent on the availability of existing tool sets available within a manufacturing facility. For new plant or line applications the RTP method is clearly preferable.
Those skilled in the art will understand and appreciate that the benefits of the invention can be successfully achieved by slight variations in the specific temperature ranges and other parameters specified above.
For example, the operating conditions necessary to remove other non-native organic films from the surface of metallurgy may vary depending upon the physical characteristics of the films as other organic materials other than BTA may also have the capability of providing a non-native passivation film on copper metallurgy.

GREENCASTLE -- For the third year in a row, the City of Greencastle has been named the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) Green Community of the year.
Since 2008, when the Association first began offering the competition, Greencastle has been the sole winner in communities of its size and the only community to repeat in any category.
The recognition was made at the IACT annual meeting in Ft. Wayne on Oct. 4. City Planner Shannon Norman was at the event to accept the award and to participate in a workshop sharing Greencastle's best practice efforts.
Other winners this year, in their population categories, included the cities of Indianapolis, Goshen and Whiting.
"It's with great pride that Greencastle will place another Green Community of the Year sign at one of our entrances," Mayor Sue Murray said. "This designation is the result of the efforts put forth by all city employees to save money while helping to protect the environment."

Honestly, I say we stop playing after the event unless the devs put new items in normal chests. They aren't providing us a charity. They do this to make money. There is no reason that they shouldn't be giving us what we want, especially when there won't be a monetary way to get these items that is being closed off by making them available.

TERRIBLE service and the management is even WORSE. We were approached by a crazy man screaming at us! This place is NOT family-friendly nor is it safe.
I was so disappointed in my experience here and I will NEVER waste my money there again.
I've been to Dave and Buster's all over the country. This one is awesome. The staff have always been really friendly. The only drawback is that sometimes it gets really crowded on weekend nights (FRI/SAT) and the bar staff gets overwhelmed, so service can be slow sometimes. We usually go during the week when it's less crowded, and it's ALWAYS a lot of fun. There's normal arcade style games, ticket-producing carnival type games that kids can play along on, pool/billiards, and so mu...view morech variety we stay for 5 hours and don't have time to play everything.
Kudos to Blaine, Andrew, and the rest of the staff for making DNB such a fun place to go.view less
Great place to sit at the bar eating finger food combinations and keep an eye on the kids playing the games. They always have a blast when we visit.
This is my favorite hangout. It is always crowded. My friends go there because there are lots of people, good games, and great food. It can be a bit noisy, but the atmosphere is warm and friendly. I like D&B because they have the latest games and the place is big so you can move around.
eat some good food. drink some good drinks. play some sweet games. win some pointless prize. its awesome.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS;Uproar Over a Debt Crisis
Published: February 14, 1996
(Page 2 of 2)
Reports about bank links with the Yakuza have arisen in the past. In the fall of 1994, a branch manager of the Sumitomo Bank, one of the world's largest banks, was shot to death at his home. Experts suggested that the killer had ties to the mob, though the motive was unclear -- and Sumitomo has repeatedly denied that it has any ties to the Yakuza.
Before that, another senior banker was shot to death, numerous bank executives reportedly received threats, and a few had Molotov cocktails hurled at their homes.
"I had many encounters with the mafia," said an employee at the Jyuso Company, one bankrupt mortgage lender. Once, when he went with a court official and an order to seize property, a man ran out of the house in his underwear, with tattoos covering his body -- a signature of Japanese mob. The employee called the police, but then received threatening phone calls at his office and home, he said.
One reason the mortgage companies are in such straits is that they were turned into "garbage dumps." The Jyuso employee, who refused to be named, explained that the banks that helped establish Jyuso often introduced clients who wanted loans but were not creditworthy enough to borrow at the main bank.
"Founding banks forced us to take on high-risk loans, such as for companies on the verge of bankruptcy, for people with criminal records or for mafia affiliates," he said. "They didn't want to make these loans themselves."
"When they wanted to force those clients upon us, officials from the founding banks entertained our executives with women," he added. "Our executives in such cases never took a look at the collateral property."
Indeed, the Finance Ministry disclosed last week that at some lenders, up to 40 percent of delinquent borrowers were introduced by founding banks, including some of Japan's large city banks.
"I do not think the banks are making much effort at collection," said Mr. Yamada, the bar association lawyer. "They won't offend the Yakuza. They probably would go once, just to say, 'Please pay,' or to negotiate a rescheduling of debt. But they won't go repeatedly."
Some building owners may even be taking advantage of this nervousness by hiring mob-affiliated companies as squatters so banks will not dare seize their properties.
The Yakuza may not be the only reason bankers have been so reluctant to collect or dispose of debt. They just might not want to take losses on property sales.
Mr. Sasaki, who has debt in arrears, has evicted Yakuza members or their friends from 38 of his rental units. He says he has told his bankers to take his buildings and sell them so he will be rid of his debt. But his bankers have not budged, he said, telling him the market will recover eventually.
The Jyuso employee was blunt: "We were told by our superiors not to make any effort" to seize collateral from big borrowers. Instead, he said, his bosses wanted to "hide the losses."
Ties between Yakuza and senior executives of top banks are rare, experts say. But even big banks designate certain employees to deal with gangster matters, and running this section is sometimes seen as a stepping stone to higher jobs, Mr. Yamada said.
In the economy's "bubble" years in the 1980's, experts say, the indirect ties with the mob in some cases spread to middle managers, lending officers or branch managers. But contacts with the Yakuza sometimes took place through layers of agents that may have left the bankers unclear exactly whom they were dealing with.
Moreover, many financial institutions helped arrange development projects, which sometimes required forcing owners off their land. In such cases, companies tied to the Yakuza were hired to intimidate owners to sell, in a phenomenon known as "jiage."
"City bankers transferred to affiliate institutions were scheming up all kinds of dirty projects with the mafia," said Mr. Miyawaki, the former police investigator. When they returned, executives at the city banks "do not realize where the cancer cell is in the organization."
Finance Ministry officials acknowledge difficulties with the Yakuza. So, under the taxpayer bailout plan, they are proposing that police agents be involved in seizing collateral. But Yakuza leaders, like Tokutaro Takayama, hardly seem flustered.
In a dark double-breasted suit that sets off his fluff of peppery white hair, Mr. Takayama shifts his imposing bulk during a recent interview and bellows out commands to his brawny aides in suits and perms.
Mr. Takayama, the boss of the Aizu Kotestu gang, deftly dodges questions about ties to financial institutions, though he acknowledges that his son is having difficulty repaying certain loans. Instead, Mr. Takayama denies a hand in the bad-debt mess and lays the blame elsewhere -- with the Finance Ministry, which since the late 1980's has allowed bad debts to pile up.
"To hide their own failures, they are targeting the Yakuza," Mr. Takayama said, waving his hand across a list of delinquent borrowers. As if in a dare to the police, he adds: "I don't think any institutions would lend to the Yakuza. If you look at the list, I don't see any Yakuza people."
Chart: "Big Borrorer Under Scrutiny" The Sueno Kosan Group, a major property owner whose logo adorns the Osaka Skyline, is the second-largest borrower in the crisis. Officials denied any dealings with the Japanese mob, the Yakuza. But one executive acknowledged passing contact. "Say there is a mafia person," he said. "It's only natural according to Japanese manners to bow and say hello." (pg. D1) Graph: "Surveying the Damage" More than 70 percent of loans extended by seven big Japanese real estate lenders have gone sour, according to a report by the Japanese Government. Graph provides a look at the status of the loans as of June 1995. (Source: Asahi Shimbun) (pg. D5)

Amazed by God's creation at Niagara Falls
A couple of weeks ago I stood before Niagara Falls, the seventh wonder of the world, on vacation with my family. I was breath-taken and speechless. Words and pictures can't describe the beauty of 757,500 gallons of water each second pouring over rock cliffs and spraying up into a sparkling mist between two countries. It's majestic and powerful and makes necessary saying the word "wow" without meaning to an unnecessary number of times.
What took my breath away even more than Niagara Falls, though, were all the different people standing around gaping at the falls. The observation deck and the railings separating the land from the falls were covered with people of all ages from all different countries and religions speaking all kinds of languages, all mesmerized by water falling over a cliff.
I realized how much God must delight in creating something so beautiful so his people would come together from everywhere and every walk of life and be in awe together, marveling at his creation. How much he must love that this is a place where differences don't matter, but his people are united by the utter beauty of something he made. Looking at Niagara Falls amid all the people, it was amazing to think that it takes differences to realize how alike humanity is.
It also amazed me that God delights in me and in all people more than something as beautiful as Niagara Falls. Watching people's different reactions to the falls helped me understand why, though. A lot of people were taking pictures from every angle possible. Some people were looking through those binoculars fastened to the ground that cost 25 cents per minute. Some people were delighted, others acted as if it were ordinary, everyday stuff. A woman in a wheelchair sat overlooking the falls reading a novel. A little boy waved and said "Hi, Canadians!" to Canada on the other side of the falls.
All these different, crazy, goofy reactions, and none of them was wrong. Each of our reactions were an expression of who we are -- the unique individual that God created, understands, and delights in -- and how we relate to our God.
Niagara Falls has no choice but to be a glorious display of water careening over rocks every single day and night of the year. On the bank and in boats in the water and walking up decks to be as close to the waterfall as possible, though, were all these quirky, helpless and utterly beautiful people God fashioned in his own image with free will choosing to let their hearts be raptured by something he created. It meant so much to me, and I love thinking about how much more it meant to our Father.
I am so grateful for humanity, that I get to share in something God has made so sacred and placed such worth in that he chose to be a human himself. The dignity of each person fills me with awe before our Creator.

BBC (ended 2009)
According to the official Robin Hood BBC site, "The series has now finished". I know that the terms "series" and "season" can be interchangeable, but this sounds like the end of the show to me.
What does everyone else think?
Sounds about it, lets face it when you kill off the main character wheres is the show going to go, nowhere!
Killing off Marion was also really stupid. Who do they have running the BBC? I wonder, they seem to have
made many very bad choices. Well that's my opinion.
Come on with no Robin, no Sheriff and Nottigham castle blown to kingdom come there is no way they could do another series
Fair enough you can say it's the spirit of Robin Hood that would live on but really it's like having Gladiator without Russell Crowe
which leads me onto the next point if you want your Robin Hood fix you'll just have to wait for Russell Crowe as Robin and Ridley Scott Directing
