"How did all those 'Keep Off the Grass' signs get there?"
Unless mis-adjusted or damaged in a crash, they last a LONG time. (e.g. Chris King's are warranted for 10 years).
Find something else to worry about.
Be the Bike
do the handle bars turn really smooth?
if so, your good to go.
Smooth steering is good.
Is there any play/slop? Try to lock out your fork, and shake your handlebars back and forth, side to side (while keeping the bars straight). There should be no movement in the steer tube. If there is, it just may need to be tightened.. or, it could be a sign of something worse.
Why are you asking? It may be easier to describe your concern, other than ask for all the possible signs of a failing headset.

Grab the front brake, put your thumb and forefinger around the cup/race so that you can feel both simultaneously and rock the bike back and forth. If you feel any play its loose. Rotate the bars with the fron wheel off the ground, there should be no binding or indexing.Originally Posted by Sincitycycler
Now test ride it. If you can ride a straight line with no hands, if the front end does not chatter when you hit the brakes, headset is good. A properly adjusted headset willl last years.

El-P (center right)
El-P, Killer Mike, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire, Despot
Sunday, July 1
El-P is it for many. The pinnacle of alternative, genre-pushing hip hop; the surfaced point of a boiling underground. He's a unique figure that traditionalist rap heads and backpack-clad indie-rap snobs can agree on, and if you've given his latest, next-level album, Cancer 4 Cure a spin, you'd know: he just keeps getting better. He also keeps adding top-shelf buzz artists to his gang of friends/collaborators, and luckily for us, he brought a few of them to town last night. The night was nearly a clinic in "rap done right," and, aside from a few missteps, was one of the best hip hop shows I've had the privilege of seeing in my storied concert-going career.Despot was El-P's first cohort to hit the stage. The Queens rapper put on an impressive display of between-song banter. He's a stand-up comedian as much as an MC, and delivered some cutting, spot-on satire of traditional rap performance with a comically straight face, including (but not limited to) some performer-crowd Simon-says (pictured below) in lieu of your run of the mill call-and-response. My prior knowledge of Despot was limited to features on Das Racist songs and an El-P joint, but his solo material kind of blew me away. He can project big time for a smallish dude, and spit some seriously sharp verses. He also played two songs from an album he's working on with Ratatat (I was surprised too) that sounded pretty fucking stellar. +1
Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire's set was as short and trashy as you might have imagined, and it was delightful. He sloshed around the stage in a fuzzy brown hunter's hat, thrusting, air cunnilinging, straddling the monitors, until he finally vanished into the crowd, only to re-emerge on the edge of the stage, rapping "I woke up this morning, feeling like that nigga" with a random female audience member semi-willingly tucked under his arm. He finished his set with a one-way crowd surf, and that was that. (Side note: I figured eXquire's hit "Huzzah!" would have been saved for a grand encore performance with El-P and Despot contributing their remix verses--and maybe even Killer Mike holding his assault rifle--but it was thrown in with the half-dozen or so other tracks in eXquire's set instead. It still worked out alright (and got a surprisingly good response as he rapped the song's final verse over "Smells Like Teen Spirit"--a risky move), but wasn't quite given the grand presentation I'd imagined.)
The crowd pushed toward the stage, and Killer Mike started up with "Untitled", which, for my money, is the best song on his new, entirely El-P-produced album, R.A.P. Music. It's an album that's packed more than any of his others with explicit political criticism, and heady, overtly personal verses. His hard-hitting lyrics have recently earned him a large amount of critical acclaim, and justly so. Unfortunately, they were also mostly to blame for a set that never carried any momentum for longer than a song. He kept signaling the DJ to cut out the instrumental so he could recite his verse a'capella, and even repeated a few of them just to make sure we didn't miss them. I know he's a very purposeful lyricist--and a very proud writer--but the breaks in the music really broke the flow, and people began milling around a bit. It was great to see Mike rap with passion (especially on tracks like "Reagan", which is an especially fiery rip on the former president/actor), but his set could have been sharper.
Killer Mike
Somehow I didn't catch on until he ended his pre-encore set with "$ Vic", but I'm pretty sure El-P played all twelve Cancer 4 Cure songs in sequence before coming back out for a quick rehash of his older material, as well as to lay down a couple verses over Slick Rick and A Tribe Called Quest beats for good measure. It was extremely cool, and a completely different show than I saw the Brooklyn rap god give just over five years ago at the same venue. He shouted his lyrics through a mike laced with reverb, which might seem like a strange choice for an MC, but backed by a guitarist, a DJ/keyboardist, and a hype man, he had suddenly become the amped-up lead singer of a rap-fusion band, so it worked. Confronted by what looked like a rock band, the crowd acted accordingly, and went pretty nuts on the floor. The whole cast and crew wound up on stage at show's end, and although it wasn't to run through a big, well-placed crew cut, it did show that it pays to tour with your friends.

Is it normal to remain the same weight but not fit into my regualar clothes?
Hi! I am 11 weeks pregnant and my belly is sticking out. I can only fit into my regular clothes without buttoning the top button. My main concern is that althouth my body is growing in certain areas, my weight gain hasn't. I am still pretty much my normal weight. I am petite...5'1" and about 100 pounds. Like I said, I can't fit into my clothes but the scale is telling me I am my normal weight.

2nd pregnancy, 8 weeks along, no weight gain and had to start wearing maternity pants too. Comfort is priority now when it comes to clothing.posted 05/14/2010 by rebelscott
I'm nine weeks with my first and I have neither gained or lost, unless I'm having BM issues!! :-). I've discovered that my pants fit in the morning but by around noon, not anymore! At night, it is stretchy pants all the way! The belly band is a wonderful invention, I either use it or just sit discretely at my desk with my pants undone. It works most of the time. Congrats to all of the new moms!! Cheers!posted 05/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
me too!! im only 9 weeks and i havent been able to wear my jeans for 2 weeks already. im a big girl and i cant "suck ti in" so it hurts to sit down. i refuse to buy maternity jeans yet, so i just bought some cute black workout yoga-type pants and thay are sooo comfy and no one knows the difference!posted 05/01/2010 by AnnaMadruga09
I'm almost 10 weeks as well, and Haven't been able to fit into any of my normal clothing for quite some time now. THe Maternity pants are a great option for now, even though they feel a bit bigger than I need for right now. But I have lost weight too, mainly because I have been soo sick. But I still cannot fit into my normal clothes. Nice to know there are other people out there going though the same thing and that this is totally normal. Since so many other things are changing so fast!posted 04/28/2010 by Natali3
This is normal I am 29 weeks and 4 pounds less than when I became pregnant. I am really showing this is my second child and he is measuring way bigger than my first. The Dr. says you do not have to gain weight that a lot of times we have enough stored fat and the baby thrives off of that inturn making you lose weight and shift weight.posted 04/28/2010 by Mjot27
after reading roxy198503, it gives me hope that i can gain a little. im 5'7 165, and would love to only gain that little =Pposted 04/25/2010 by lovemyj
I am glad to read that I am not alone. I started shifting weight very early with a one pound weight gain. None of my regular clothes fit. I thought about just buying one size larger pants but when I tried some on I found that if they fit around the hips and waist they were WAY TOO BIG everywhere else. I too broke down and did the Maternity pants and I am much happier.posted 04/21/2010 by Crissy050
This is our third child. I'm 9 1/2 wks. I don't remember feeling this big this fast before. I would get my maternity clothes out but we haven't told anyone yet. We are waiting to see a doctor.posted 04/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
i have the same problem i am 16 weeks and in the beginning i lost 5 pounds and i still have not gained it back i still weigh in at 121 i feel like i filled out but i still fit in all my pants if you can't button the tops i seen a cool way to still be able to wear your designer pants by putting a rubber band threw the button hole and then using the slack of it to put around the button hope this helps you so fit in your pants better! lolposted 04/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Sounds like we're all normal. I lost 5 lbs from the 24 hour a day "morning" sickness in the first 10 weeks, but have since returned to my pre-pregnancy weight, and gained 3 lbs. My jeans and pants have not fit since 9 weeks. Couldn't understand why I have a baby bump when the ultrasound shows this little tiny goldfish. Must be all that extra fluid the body creates, bloating, and gas. Glad I'm not alone!posted 04/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

RAY.. er... I mean, Darth Mual. XD Looks absolutely stunning! ^^ Love the pose and his expression, superb.
i really dig the cross lighting on his face, awesome. did you use the same color and opacity of color when you painted the 2 halves of the lightsaber? because the bottom half is on a dark background and you can just do a quick little tint on it but the half in the sky is a different ball of wax. has to be glowing but set against the light blue sky. I wouldve failed at this for 5 tries and then hopefully pulled it off. great f'ing work!
Good ol' Maulie...
Whoah. Awesome background, and it's so realistic. Gah. *is impressed*

I loved this scene in the film too. Hops off the ol' speeder bike ready to throw down. I really wish he'd have had more screentime... They could've pushed Dooku back an episode or too ^^
Whoa, gorgeous!!! The lighting on this is phenomenal, the backdrop just makes it eye-catching; the pose he's in, and his facial expression are really great. I officially <3 your work!

what is an ocean perch classified as???
My name is Missy and I have a 55 gal saltwater tank. I have bought a fish from my lfs about a month ago for my boyfriend and the sign at the store said it was a ocean perch. He is a little red-spotted fish about 2 inches long, he likes to hop on the bottom and dig in the sand. However, I think he is kind of territorial. I am excepting to put more fish in the tank with him and my other fish, but i don't know if he is going to be a problem or not? Any suggestions? And also, what class of fish would he fall into... hawkfish? grouper? What???
Seem to be a vicious little critter. They are ambush predators. Ocean perch feed by resting on the ocean bottom and ambushing their prey. Their diet consists of squid, royal red prawns and cardinal fish. I many other unassuming fish that may pass by.
From what I understand, they are also tasty table fare.

La Poesía Lírica Colombiana
Date: August 1952
Creator: Orjuela, Héctor H.
Description: In this work, superficial to the extreme, it is my purpose to offer a review of the development of lyric poetry ("poesía lírica") in Colombia throughout its history. It is logical that because of the extent of the subject it is not possible to give a complete treatment of our political history, though I have tried not to leave out points of significance. The classification of authors and of poems, as well as the division of periods I have made arbitrarily, guided by my own criteria. Thus, I have the Romantic period divided into romanticism and post-romanticism, according to the dates generally regarded as the beginning and end of these two literary movements. In reality, romanticism only ended with the beginning of modernism, and one cannot therefore distinguish romantic poets from post-romantic poets. Due to the nature of this thesis, many poets--some of them well known--will not be mentioned. However, my intention is not to write a lyric anthology, but to reveal the spirit of Columbia through her poets and her poetry.

Mid Fourth-Millennium Copper Mining in Liguria, North-West Italy: The Earliest Known Copper Mines in Western Europe
Maggi, Roberto, Pearce, Mark, Antiquity
Our understanding of the origins of copper metallurgy in Europe has developed somewhat since Renfrew (1969, 1970: 306-8, figure 10) posited independent origins for copper working in the Balkans and in the Iberian Peninsula. One key issue that has emerged is the distinction between the circulation of copper artefacts, what Skeates (1994) has defined as the 'early metal-using horizon', and the actual mining of copper ores for the manufacture of artefacts. Thus small numbers of metal artefacts already occur in Italian late Neolithic contexts: for example, an awl found in the Atone Candide cave (Finale Ligure, Savona province) may be dated to 4000 cal BC or earlier and seems to be made of native copper (Campana & Franceschi 1997).
Evidence for prehistoric copper mining was reported in the nineteenth century at a number of sites in Liguria, north-west Italy, notably by the geologist and pioneer of prehistoric research, Issel (1879, 1892: 4-6). In this paper we present twelve new radiocarbon dates obtained from recent excavations carried out by an international team at one of these--the copper mines at Monte Loreto (Castiglione Chiavarese, Genoa province) (see Table 1). The dates, obtained mostly from young-wood charcoal, document actual copper extraction (rather than just metal use) from around 3500 cal BC, making these the earliest copper mines discovered in Western Europe so far. Our excavations at Monte Loreto have documented prehistoric mines and ore-dressing facilities in various locations on the slopes of the mountain, and evidence has also been found of Byzantine activity. These new dates complement and confirm those obtained previously on material recovered in the nineteenth century at copper mines at Libiola (Sestri Levante, Genoa province) where prehistoric mining is attested in the second half of the fourth millennium cal BC.
Monte Loreto
Copper was still being produced from deposits at Monte Loreto (Figure 1, no. 2) in the late nineteenth century, but production quickly declined after the 1920s. The current archaeological investigations which began in 1996 are conducted by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici della Liguria (RM) and the University of Nottingham (MP), with the collaboration of cavers from the Centro Studi Sotterranei (Genoa) and the University of Nottingham School of Geography. The excavations are sited on the south-eastern slopes of the Monte Loreto, along a series of copper veins at the contact between the basalt and an outcrop of serpentinite breccia, close to the village of Masso. Much of the mountainside shows evidence for mining, but excavation has concentrated on two areas: the first is where prehistoric miners have emptied natural fissures of copper ore, the second is primarily an ore treatment area. Other trenches have been opened in various points across the copper outcrop, as field survey and our growing ability to recognise ancient workings have progressed.
Various features of prehistoric mining techniques have been recognised. Ore-bearing fissures in the friable country rock (the rock surrounding the ore) were excavated and backfilled by the miners, leaving deposits of datable charcoal. In many cases the ore was extracted leaving the country rock in place, and the fissures are sometimes very narrow, 0.3 or 0.4m at most. A complete 3.75 m section was obtained in 1998 in one of these prehistoric mines. The section was cleaned in three steps for safety reasons (Figure 2): the positions of a hammer stone, a trampled work floor (probably a temporary platform during the backfilling operations) and a [sup.14]C-dated charcoal sample are all indicated. A radiocarbon determination of 4240 [+ or -] 60 BP (see Table 1: T5) was obtained from charcoal found at this point in the section. Charcoal samples from other trenches have yielded similar dates (T10, within another fissure, 4090 [+ or -] 60 BP; T8, a succession of layers of chalcopyrite-rich ore-processing debris, 4710 [+ or -] 40 BP, 4090 [+ or -] 50 BP and 4000 [+ or -] 40 BP). …

No 'serious dent' from sanctions – Iran Central Bank
"We can't say that sanctions did not damage us. They did, but we thrashed out plans to control the damage and were able to avoid a serious dent to our economy," the central bank chief said in a rare interview.
November 22, 2012 9:09 by Reuters
Iran has avoided a "serious dent" to its economy from Western sanctions thanks to large gold reserves, high oil prices and reduced foreign imports, its central bank governor told Reuters on Wednesday.
Gold reserves were enough to last 15 years, Mahmoud Bahmani said.
He added that inflation was running at 20 percent but that there was no need to raise interest rates.
Western nations have imposed their toughest sanctions to date against Iran in an attempt to halt its disputed nuclear programme, causing the rial to plummet, inflation to jump and hundreds of thousands of Iranians to lose jobs.
"We can't say that sanctions did not damage us. They did, but we thrashed out plans to control the damage and were able to avoid a serious dent to our economy," the central bank chief said in a rare interview.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a summit of developing nations in Islamabad.
Despite the economic impact from the sanctions, Iran has not backed down from its nuclear programme and there were signs Tehran could be building up its capacity even further. That has sparked growing concerns in Israel, which has threatened to bomb Iranian installations.
Officials from six world powers — Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States — were meeting in Brussels on Wednesday to plan for a possible new round of talks with Iran, the latest effort to resolve a decade-long standoff.
Iran denies international accusations it is seeking nuclear weapons and has so far refused to meet demands to scale back its atomic activity, insisting on immediate relief from sanctions.
To help protect its economy, Iran has built up its gold reserves over the last few years with its current holdings 12 times larger than five years ago, Bahmani said. He declined to give a specific amount since the government does not disclose such information.
"We believe that these reserves are enough for us for the next 15 years, even if we don't import foreign gold," he said through a translator.
The country's official reserves, which include foreign currencies and gold, totalled $106 billion at the end of last year, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Some analysts believe the official reserves may have shrunk by several tens of billions of dollars this year because of sanctions.
In October, Iran prohibited gold exports without central bank approval, in an effort by the government to restrict outflows of wealth. The government also banned the export of about 50 basic goods, including wheat, flour, sugar and red meats, as well as aluminium and steel ingots.
Bahmani refused to speak about Iran's foreign exchange reserves.
He added that Iran does not use its gold reserves as a bartering tool in exchange for foreign goods, despite sanctions that bar Tehran from using U.S. dollars and euros in financial transactions.
The sanctions have slashed Iran's oil export earnings and triggered a rush by Iranians to change their savings into foreign currency, dragging the rial down by two-thirds in 15 months and boosting inflation.
Inflation in Iran was running at around 20 percent, Bahmani said.
"It's a temporary high rate of inflation in Iran and we are trying our best to control the level and bring it down to its real value in the near future," he said, adding he did not see a reason to raise interest rates.
High oil prices have helped limit the drop in revenue from lower crude exports. Bahmani said Iran did not want to see oil prices to rise further because of its potential impact on the global economy.

Twitter Double Coverage: Manning vs. AP
By Kevin Seifert
Who is more derserving of the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award: Denver quarterback Peyton Manning or Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson.
Hopefully you followed along earlier Wednesday when, after a brief technological issue, I chatted via Twitter (
) with AFC West colleague Bill Williamson (
) about the stunning comebacks this season of
Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson
Denver Broncos
Peyton Manning
I was thrilled to see how many of you joined in. If you missed it, you can scroll through the archived chat in the embedded module below. Feel free to vote in the SportsNation poll in this post as well if you have a strong opinion on whether Peterson or Manning should be the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year.
The argument for Manning would note his neck injury was serious enough to sideline him for an entire season. There wasn't a ton of agreement, to say the least, that he would ever play again. He has not only played but is leading the NFL in passer rating.
We all knew Peterson would return at some point. We just didn't anticipate he could rehabilitate a torn ACL and MCL in a single offseason, a total of 260 days between injury and his first game -- and then pick up with the best 10-game start to a season of his career. Playing on a rebuilding team with an unproven quarterback, a rebuilt offensive line and the NFL's most conservative passing game, Peterson is on pace for an 1,800-yard season.

Motorcycle Industry News
Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America recently announced important organizational and operational changes in the motorcycle division.
Motorcycle Safety
The spring season is the start of the riding season for many motorcyclists around the world. But before a rider climbs aboard, many things should be inspected for a safe riding season.
And the most obviously place to begin inspection is where our motorcycles meet the road: the tires.
Motorcycle Safety
With the winter season upon us, Dunlop would like to remind riders that this is a good time to check your motorcycle tires.
While your motorcycle is stored for the winter, it is a good time to check your tires, maintain them and determine if you need new tires for spring.

Seattle Times travel writer Carol Pucci reports on some of the highs and lows of 2008 for travelers.
Predicting travel trends for 2009 feels more like throwing dice than gazing into a crystal ball, but here's a safe bet: When it comes to travel, those with time and money will find a getaway more affordable than anytime last year.
This may be the year for serendipity rather than careful planning. While it may once have made sense to lock in airfares and hotel rates in advance to avoid price increases, that may no longer be the best strategy given the economic times.
Stay tuned for more on the ups and downs of travel in 2009. In the meantime, here's a look at some of the highs and lows of 2008.

- 9 arrested, 5 officers hurt as May Day anti-capitalist march turns violent

The Obama administration's promises to boost diplomacy and increased foreign aid should help the United States regain respect around the world. As always, we travelers have the opportunity to be cultural ambassadors.
Thumbs up: Rick Steves' trip to Iran. The Edmonds-based travel writer and public-television host knows how to generate publicity for his books and tour business, but I give him credit for using his clout to spread cultural understanding.
Iran isn't among the places where Steves leads tours, but he spent his own funds to film a travel show there last year, and he has been speaking and giving slide shows on Iran this fall to sold-out crowds. The show airs at 10 p.m. Jan. 20, on Seattle's KCTS-TV.
Thumbs down: Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin's use of her soapbox to further cultural misunderstanding. She ran up the hits on her Web site with howls about the black and white scarf Food Network star Rachael Ray wore in a commercial for Dunkin' Donuts. The company pulled the spot after Malkin compared the fashion accessory to a kaffiyeh, a scarf popularized by former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and, according to Malkin, "a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists."
Foreign visitors
We need them. Travelers from other countries spent nearly $100 billion last year as they took advantage of the weak dollar to vacation in the U.S.
Thumbs up: The U.S. government's decision to expand its list of visa-waiver countries to include the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, South Korea and Slovakia. These will be added to a list of countries including Italy, England, France, Germany and others where the U.S. does not require a visa, a move expected to bring in an extra 1 million new visitors annually.
Thumbs down: A new rule requiring visitors from visa-waiver countries to register online before they travel.
Registration will be free for a time, but the plan eventually is to charge a fee, part of which will be used to fund a U.S. promotion campaign overseas. Combined with the weakening economy, the extra hassle and expense could discourage travel to the U.S.
The dollar
The value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies has a lot to do with the costs of foreign travel.
Thumbs up: The global economic downturn and falling fuel prices have boosted the value of the U.S. dollar. Canada is affordable again, and Mexico is more of a bargain than ever.
Thumbs down: A new rule requiring U.S. citizens to have passports or a federally approved ID (special state-issued driver's license or Passport Card) to re-enter the U.S. from Canada or Mexico by car, ferry or cruise ship starting June 1.
The likely result: No spur-of-the-moment trips to Victoria or Vancouver, B.C., this summer for the relatives visiting from the Midwest.
Fuel costs
Oil has dropped to below $40 a barrel from $110 last summer, and gas prices are at a five-year low.
Thumbs up: Driving vacations are affordable again. A 340-mile round trip between Seattle and Portland in a car that gets 25 miles to the gallon costs $24 at today's gas prices vs. $61 last summer.
Thumbs down: Airline "fuel surcharges" that refuse to go away. Ditto for the airlines' new and still-rising fees for everything from checking bags to transporting a pet in the cabin or letting a child fly alone.

Jenny JimenezWatch a slideshow of Seattle People at Hempfest 2009.For her weekly Seattle People photo essay, Jenny Jimenez visited Hempfest this weekend, where she ran into Jana & Brenton from Tukwila who came down to the festivities along Elliott Bay to do a little shopping. The following is an excerpt from their conversation:
Jana, on their favorite purchase: "We like our warm & fuzzy 420 blanket and our new bong because you can use them both naked."
Brenton, on their new bong: "You gotta get a new, good bong every year. This is a triple perc skeleton made of pyrex."
Jana, on other purchases: "A solar powered backpack, Lollipipe (a lollipop in the shape of a pipe), and Xylimelts. They're mints that lubricate your mouth.... I say they should sell them to sex shops"
Brenton, on Hempfest: "I've been to Hempfest 6 or 7 times. It's Jana's first. I come to shop. It's just your typical capitalistic environment in there. If you have money, it's fun."
Brenton, on the weed: "Everyone is scared to sell, so it's BYOW (bring your own weed) in there."

Burton Pushed toward New Vote on Immunity
Akers, Mary Ann, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
GOP leaders late yesterday pressured Rep. Dan Burton to continue his battle with the White House to win immunity for four crucial witnesses in his campaign-finance probe, hours after he announced plans to give up his fight.
Publicly, leaders accused the White House of hiding the truth and attacking the messenger - in this case, Mr. Burton.
"There's been a routine process by this White House to cover up the truth by attacking people looking into illegality," said House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
But privately, Republican leaders criticized Mr. Burton for his handling of the probe, an investigation that has been plagued by embarrassing missteps along the way - from mistaken identities of key witnesses to the latest problem of releasing edited transcripts of the jailhouse conversations of Webster L. Hubbell, a former top Justice Department official and friend of the Clintons.
Early yesterday, Mr. Burton said he would give up on a plan to vote today on immunity for the four witnesses, instead asking another committee to take over. But GOP leaders persuaded him to try again next week.
Even though they know the plan will fail, aides said the second vote would give Republicans an opportunity to try to embarrass congressional Democrats and attack the president.
On the other side, Rep. Henry Waxman of California, the senior Democrat on Mr. Burton's panel, renewed his attacks on the chairman of the House Goverment Reform and Oversight Committee.
"Things shouldn't be taken out of context. They shouldn't be censored and cut, doctored really," Mr. Waxman told reporters. He said he is planning to introduce a resolution today calling on Mr. Burton to recuse himself from the campaign-finance investigation.
Committee Democrats have vowed they will not go along with grants of immunity to the four witnesses as long as Mr. Burton is chairman.
Mr. Burton, still reeling from criticism over calling Mr. Clinton a "scumbag" in a newspaper interview, is on increasingly shaky ground since the release of the Hubbell tapes, with some Republicans anonymously criticizing him.
In a letter to other House Republicans, obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Mr. Burton apologized for the Hubbell tape release. "Although the vast majority of the material was completely accurate, some mistakes and omissions were made. . . . I take responsibility for those mistakes. …

A South African clergyman who helped end apartheid leveled a mix of harsh and congratulatory words at the Christian church in his homeland and in the United States during the annual William R. Laws Peacemaking Lecture.
The Rev. Allan Boesak, 69, spoke Saturday afternoon to an audience of about 120 at Columbus' North Christian Church.
Boesak repeatedly stressed in an hour-long message that justice comes only through courageous sacrifice and "a very costly discipleship."
The local lecture series is part of the work of First Presbyterian Church of Columbus, where the late Rev. William R. Laws was a civil rights champion. Boesak's message, sponsored by 20 area organizations and agencies, was titled "Bridge to Reconciliation, Justice, and Global Peace: From South Africa to Indiana."
"If Jesus had to give up his own life then what makes us think that, in doing the work of reconciliation, we can get away with anything less than that?" Boesak said.
Boesak is in the middle of a four-year position as the Desmond Tutu Chair of Global Peace, Justice and Reconciliation Studies for Butler University and the Christian Theological Seminary, both in Indianapolis.
In the 1980s, Boesak helped lead South Africa's campaign against apartheid, a form of segregation that curtailed the rights of the country's black majority for 50 years. He served as a top official with the African National Congress. And he also worked closely with South African President Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, a retired Anglican archbishop and South African social rights activist.
In Boesak's opening remarks, he told his audience he knew of Columbus because he was aware that then-Cummins Engine Co. leaders had investigated expanding to South Africa in the 1970s. Cummins leaders eventually decided that various forms of racism in South Africa would make it impossible to do business there.
The clerical leader said while the church played a key role in ending apartheid, it also has worked against justice and rights issues with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community in South Africa.
He mentioned that the current, rising crime of "corrective rape," in which non-heterosexual people are hunted and physically abused and violated, "is what American fundamentalism has brought to South Africa."
Columbus' Julia Stumpff, a leader with the Inclusive Community Coalition, asked Boesak what her organization can do to promote justice for the LGBTQ community here.
"You must campaign even harder than you have done before," Boesak said near the end of a lengthy response. "These are precious children of God."
His comments drew applause from many in the audience, which included members of First Presbyterian and North Christian churches, doctors, professors, former leaders of foundations, clergy and others.
"LGBTQ people should have the same God-given rights as everyone else," Stumpff said. "And we certainly do have to work harder to ensure that."
Jerry Karr, a member of Interfaith Forum Columbus that hatched the idea of inviting Boesak, said the speaker's message reminded him of one element during the period of apartheid.
"It was chilling to me that all of us — politicians and the military and the powerful — we all looked the other way," Karr said. "It's easier to look away than to assist."

Blockbuster collapses into administration
High Street DVD rental business Blockbuster has become the latest victim in the retail slump as it announced today that it had fallen into administration.
As was the case with HMV after going into administration on Monday, Deloitte has been appointed to take over the running of the firm while it attempts to find a buyer.
Deloitte partners Lee Manning, Matthew David Smith and Neville Kahn have been appointed joint administrators.
Manning, said: "In recent years Blockbuster has faced increased competition from, internet based providers along with the shift to digital streaming of movies and games. We are working closely with suppliers and employees to ensure the business has the best possible platform to secure a sale, preserve jobs and generate as much value as possible for all creditors.

"why would anyone do it" 1 thanks
I probably hired on average 10 DVD's a year from my local blockbuster, the reason I would go would be that I was desperate for some cheap entertainment and I had nothing else to watch, be it on the TV or lack of a Love Film DVD on my doorstep. So really Blockbuster was a stop gap for me, my main vice supplier being love film.
If I were the Blockbuster CEO, I would have made the outlets into a Games Arcade/Fast Food/Film Hire/Gaming Console hybrid, that youths and adults went to pass time/get sustenance and see /hire or buy the latest films, games, tech.
I think there will be an online backlash as people start to feel trapped in their houses.
Everyone's got great memories
Everyone's got great memories of Blockbusters!
Then the internet came along.
Their business model was like a dinosaur.

I'm a fellow Canadian. I don't know where in canada you live but is this really any different from what has happened over the past couple of decades to the mentally ill in this country? We've closed whole psychology/psychiatry departments, hundreds of hospital wards or even entire hospitals, and delegated care of the mentally ill to prisons and shelters for the homeless. It's shameful. But let's not point fingers at the Americans when we're doing the same thing.

Thanks for posting this. When will people realize that mental illness is the same as physical illness and needs the same amount of attention and resources…Oops…forgot Americans don't think health care should be distributed equitably.
- Diane 2:42 pm on November 27th, 2006
Re: the topic of the story posted – it's outrageous. Mitt is shining up his hair for a presidential run. Isn't it astounding how completely ignorant he and his advisors are to think that this is not a violation of our rights? The Americans with Disabilities Act states that we are to be treated equally, regardless of our diagnosis – this includes psychiatric diagnoses. It's ignorant to believe that mental illness can be put on hold for the sake of budget and politics.
I'm past angry.
P.S. Some of us Americans DO think health care should be distributed equally. We don't exactly think with one mind here, eh?

Jordan Burroughs has won the first wrestling gold for the United States at the London Olympics, earning a US$250,000 bonus from US officials and vindicating his characteristically confident choice of Twitter name, "All I See Is Gold".
The world champion with a soft spot for fast food, hip hop and tattoos overpowered Iran's Sadegh Goudarzi in the final of the 74kg (162lb) freestyle.
The final brought together two countries that are old foes on the wrestling mat and on the world stage. Their leaders are locked in a charged standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
But politics were put to one side during a close-fought bout that eased pressure on a U.S. wrestling team that had previously won only a single bronze at the Games.
An ecstatic Burroughs leapt into the crowd at the end of the bout and hugged his mother before running back across the wrestling mat with the Stars and Stripes draped over his shoulders.
Not prone to self-doubt, Burroughs has "Dream It, Do It" tattooed across his chest and had predicted a gold medal in a series of upbeat messages to fans before the Games.
"I'm ready to wrestle anyone who steps across that line. If the Queen of England came out on the mat I probably would double-leg her," he said. "I was ready to go...I had my cross-hairs, my target on a gold medal."
Burroughs, 24, also beat Goudarzi in the 2011 world championship final.
Both wrestlers made a cautious start to the final, circling each other and trying not to commit.
The breakthrough came with 10 seconds of the first round to go when Burroughs rushed at his opponent, grabbed him around the knees and dumped him on the floor.
The American took the second round in a best-of-three match after bundling Goudarzi out of the ring, triggering wild celebrations from the large U.S. contingent in the packed arena.
It was an emotional victory for a wrestler born in one of the most deprived parts of New Jersey. Years of gruelling training helped to hone his technique and build his strength in one of the oldest and most demanding Olympic sports.
"This has been a long time coming," he said. "I've trained for a number of years, dreamed for a number of years and got it done.
"I had a plan, executed it perfectly and I'm Olympic champ."
In the night's other final, Russia won their fourth wrestling gold of the London Games when Dzhamal Otarsultanov beat Georgia's Vladimer Khinchegashvili in the 55kg weight class, the lightest on the men's programme.
It was a tense and close-fought contest and the Russian's coach picked him up in a fireman's lift and spun him round at the end of the bout as the noisy Russian contingent in the crowd cheered and waved the national flag.

TES, Ferriday see summer changes
A couple of local schools have had coaching changes at a most inopportune time in recent weeks.
Both Trinity Episcopal and Ferriday High School lost their head coaches in the middle of the summer, during a time when the players are trying to get in shape to prepare for another season.
Richard Oliver announced several weeks ago that he was leaving Ferriday High School to return home to coach in Baton Rouge. Trinity's Ryan Porter announced his resignation at the school June 30 before even coaching a game.
While Trinity swiftly filled its position by hiring Josh Loy as head coach this past week, Ferriday has yet to make an announcement regarding its vacant head coaching position.
At Trinity, Loy brings with him eight years of coaching experience, including stints at all four of Natchez's local high schools. Loy also has experience as athletic director, having served in that capacity while he was an assistant at Cathedral High School. He was named both head coach and athletic director at Trinity.
Loy said ideally he would like to run a spread offense and a 3-3-5 defense, but stressed that his systems on both sides of the ball would depend on the type of athletes he has. Since he just has a few weeks to evaluate his players before fall camp starts, Loy unfortunately will have to decide fairly quickly which direction to go with this year's team.
Trinity's job opening was the perfect fit for Loy personally, who said that he's always wanted to be a head coach since starting out in the business. With Loy's familiarity with the Saints' program — he coached at Trinity for several seasons under David King — Loy will get a chance to continue the Saints' strong tradition in football.
With a coaching hire out of the way, the Trinity family now has the responsibility to follow in the footsteps of Headmaster Les Hegwood and bring positive energy to the program. If they don't, it's not going to matter what Loy does, because a program is only as strong as those backing it.
Despite not currently having a head coach, the Ferriday players are sticking to their offseason workouts program, which is being run by assistant coach Cleothis Cummings.
Cummings, a Ferriday native, is also in the running for the head coaching position, and there are several positives to his potential hire.
Ferriday has lost two coaches in the last three seasons, Oliver and Freddie Harrison, because both coaches had schools from their hometown call with job offers. That issue would never arise with Cummings, who has both coached for and played at Ferriday High School.
Cummings also has head coaching experience, having been the head man at Ferriday Junior High School during the 2010 season. The players are familiar with him, and he's already paying his dues by leading the team in summer workouts.
There's always potential Ferriday High School could strike gold by hiring someone from out of town. Had he stuck around, Oliver likely would have done well at Ferriday. But there's always that inherent risk that Mama comes calling if the out-of-town coach has any measure of success.
How the school weighs its options will certainly be interesting to follow. Consistency is needed for a change at Ferriday High School, no matter who brings it.

New Data Improves Sales Outlook For Celgene's Apremilast
TheStreet) -- Celgene's (CELG - Get Report) strong stock performance this year started with the release of bullish, long-term (2017) guidance in early January. While Street estimates are generally close to Celgene's own forecasts, the biggest difference is with sales expectations for apremilast, the company's new oral drug for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Celgene's guidance implies about $1.5 to $2 billion in 2017 apremilast sales versus Street consensus of about $876 million. This discrepancy creates a lot of room for either Street estimates to increase or company guidance to decrease. Celgene has been fairly consistent on their guidance despite skepticism and has argued it has a more complete view of the data than investors. Celgene is presenting additional apremilast data this week at a rheumatology meeting in Europe, which should be quite positive.The take-home point from the updated apremilast data will likely be that response rates increase over time with treatment. Early data put apremilast's efficacy in psoriatic arthritis clearly below the biologics -- Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ - Get Report) Remicade, Amgen's (AMGN - Get Report) Enbrel and Abbvie's (ABBV - Get Report) Humira. However, Celgene believes apremilast will be positioned as a psoriatic arthritis therapy to be used after patients no longer respond to methotrexate and before biologics (which require injections) are prescribed. Importantly, Celgene is not positioning apremilast as a direct competitor to biologics. Celgene believes there is a market for a safe, oral option with solid efficacy to be used before the injectable biologics. Obviously, the closer apremilast can get to the biologics in terms of efficacy, the greater the likelihood doctors will find it a useful option. While there are a lot of data, I want to focus on results from the Palace-1 trial in psoriatic arthritis. In particular, for the 20 mg dose of apremilast, the ACR-20 score (a common measure of response) increased from 31 percent at 12 weeks to 38 percent at 24 weeks to 63 percent at 52 weeks. This increase in efficacy came without any increase in adverse events. The 30 mg apremilast dose saw a similar increase in ACR-20 response from 41 percent at 12 weeks to 47 percent at 24 weeks to 55 percent at 52 weeks.SUMMIT, NJ (
