What the law really says is that, if year after year, kids in a school are not making satisfactory progress, the school must undertake a process of improvement, and districts and states are responsible for that. Art >>> email@example.com 12/10/03 02:39PM >>> This is on the Michigan Education Association Website - http://www.mea.org/Page.cfm?p=5096 It is a sharp attack, but also somewhat defeatist. The affiliated Great Lakes Center (which sponsored the Amrein and Berliner study that showed states with high stakes testing doing worse) also has short pieces on testing that I have not yet had a chance to look at. http://www.greatlakescenter.org/? ESEA-A clear and present danger WARNING: Your neighborhood public school is being set up and as a result your child will be labeled a failure. The ESEA or Elementary and Secondary Education Act is the main law outlining the federal requirement for the nation's public schools and federally funded K-12 programs. First enacted in 1965 when signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson, it has been revised every five to seven years. The latest revision was passed by Congress in 2001 and signed by President Bush in 2002. This version, dubbed "No Child Left Behind," greatly expands the federal government's role in pubic education. An enormous increase in student testing, exhaustive district reporting requirements, and punitive consequences for troubled schools are at the heart of this legislation. Furthermore, this law is woefully underfunded-it will create an enormous burden on already tight district budgets. At first glance, No Child Left Behind appears to be an admirable legislative effort designed to improve public education. It provides funding for 12.5 million children living in high poverty areas. It also provides funding for student literacy, school technology and school safety. Upon closer examination, however, it becomes clear that parts of this legislation are sheer lunacy! The law mandates that every child in the country must meet predetermined federal standards on high stakes tests without consideration to abilities, disabilities, or unique differences among children and their learning styles. In addition, if any one of four subgroups identified in the law-economically disadvantaged students; students in major racial or ethnic groups; students with disabilities; and non-English speaking students-fails to meet proficiency, the whole school is deemed failing and punitive consequences that range all the way to closing the school are put into place. It would be easy to assume that only truly troubled schools would be labeled as failures under ESEA. However, that is not the case. Consider Vandenberg Elementary School in Southfield. Last year it made the headlines when President Bush went to Southfield to tout the promises of No Child Left Behind. "I'm real proud to be in the midst of teachers that are doing a great job," Bush said, to the applause of those in attendance. "The reason I'm here is because this is a successful school. It's a successful school because there is a mindset that says 'every child can learn.'" So, imagine the community's shock when, just three months after President Bush's speech, Vandenberg Elementary made headlines again. This time, however, the news painted a different picture. The school had been labeled as failing according to a federal report required under No Child Left Behind. Can a school change that much in three months? Of course not. Vandenberg Elementary was an exceptional school before the president's visit and it still excels today. Last month, hundreds of graduation ceremonies were held in gymnasiums, auditoriums and field houses across this state and indeed this country. With both smiles and tears of joy, proud parents, grandparents and siblings saw their loved ones walk across stages, heard their names over loudspeakers, and watched them clutch the prize they were there to receive-their high school diplomas. At the same time, more than 200 Michigan schools were labeled failing under ESEA guidelines. Next month, when the data on the most recent MEAP scores are reviewed against the new guidelines, hundreds more will be labeled failing. Likely, many of these will be the same schools that celebrated excellence just a few weeks earlier-like Vandenberg Elementary-perhaps a school near you. Congress has moved on to other issues. The likelihood that the problems inherent in ESEA will be solved through further legislation is very slim. Parents, district staff and students are now left to cope with the incredible burden of ESEA alone-without the necessary federal funding or support. A conspiracy theorist might say that the real purpose of No Child Left Behind is to leave Public Education Behind by setting it up for certain failure. This would open the door once again to the idea of sending public tax dollars to private and sectarian schools through vouchers-the panacea for those who don't believe that our system of free public education is the cornerstone of our democratic society. The stakes are high for public schools under ESEA: the rules confusing and unreasonable; the goals unrealistic; and the punishment for failure devastating. Even worse, when the federal government deems a school failing based on student test scores, isn't it really saying that our children are failures? After all, schools are buildings-brick and mortar. Failure will be attributed to the people inside them-students and staff. To label any child a failure is morally reprehensible. ---- Monty Neill, Ed.D.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sajijoma Does the job! I was hesistant to use this brand, since the one review wasn't that great, but it was on sale, so I thought, ok, if it doesn't work THEN I'll get something else. First of all, it works GREAT! I used it in combination with Loreal blue powder lightener and it took my drugstore inky black and hot pink hair to pale yellow in minutes. (however, do NOT let your husband help with the bleach application if he doesn't understand the importance of bleaching each strand completely AND setting a timer) The front half of my head I did myself and acheived a perfect pale almost white shade within 35 mins. SO DEFINITELY recommend and watch your hair closely, as it can change pretty fast! February 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sajijoma works great!!!! I got the wella color charm cream developer in 40 volume to use with the blue powdered bleach I was using to take my hair from inky black with hot pink highlights to blonde. This stuff worked AMAZINGLY well in combo with the powdered bleach.First I mixed it with a little bleach powder and shampoo to make a soap cap to remove the pink and VOILA! It was gone in seconds! I was amazed! Then I used it to bleach my hair all over(save for the already bleached areas that used to be pink) and it came out really well. Most of my hair was platinum blonde, and the remaining areas were a light custard yellow and easily removed with a second round of bleaching. Great stuff! Def get the 40 vol if you have dark hair like mine was and is naturally. February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sharon1 Not Meeting Expectations I have brown hair peppered with white and wanted to put thin white streaks in it, so bought this along with the bleech, toner and toner developer (10 vol.) to achieve "white streaks". After following directions exactly ended up with warm light blond streaks. - which does look excellent but was not what was the intent. DEFINATELY not light enough. January 25, 2013

About The Mulligan Brothers
The Mulligan Brothers met playing in bars in Mobile, Alabama and their name means second chances. Their second album, Via Portland, is being played on radio stations across the country and The Mulligan Brothers are listed in the Alternate Root Magazine's Top 50 of 2015- -So Far.
The lyrics in Via Portland are built on Newell's poetic imagery and storytelling in a warm, sincere voice that is full of feeling whether it is relaxed or strained. Touring the country and playing together most nights of the week sharpened harmony, background vocals, and dynamics in the instrumentation. New songs evolved in front of audiences, giving each musician time to develop his parts and how they fit together. "This album is honest and sincere from the ground up," lead singer Ross Newell says. "We stayed true to ourselves.
"The Mulligan Brothers are: Ross Newell (lead vocals, guitar, and songwriting); Gram Rea (fiddle, mandolin, viola, harmonica and vocals); Ben Leininger (bass and vocals) and Greg DeLuca (drums and vocals).

My whole family and I booked a holiday at the riviera bay in devon, we very much enjoyed, amazing entertainment. Only so sad that the people who are doing the show are leaving, I think everyone in the park enjoyed there stay and especial enjoyed the company of the
Performers and only wish they would come back all together as a group and do another season, enjoyed the chalet but just could of done with a better tv. But overall enjoyed my stay and would come back the following year if the entertainment people performed there again.

Sue is a very polite and organized host. At the beginning she gives you all relevant information, so that you actually don t have to think about anything and can immediately enjoy your stay. Great view from the pool!
Second time we stayed at this place cause it's at a great location.
Enjoyed it once again. Thank you Sue!!
We had a warm welcome from our host Susan.
A really nice woman who showed us around the place and apartment.
This is such a nice place to stay. It was clean and very close to public transport.
There is also a nice swimming pool with great view.
Recommend this place and will be back in the future!!
Para una primera alquilar un apartamento en el centro de Bangkok, me sorprendió gratamente. Este gran apartamento está totalmente equipado y muy moderno, el maravillosamente cómoda cama, pequeña cocina y 1 sofá. Pasamos 3 días aquí. Maravilloso apartamento en un edificio fantástico. La ubicación era estupenda. Me volvería a alojar aquí de nuevo.
For a first renting an apartment in downtown Bangkok, I was pleasantly surprised.
This great apartment is fully equipped and very modern, the bed wonderfully comfortable, small kitchen and 1 couch.
Spent 3 days here. Wonderful condo in a fantastic building. Location was great. Would stay here again.
Jederzeit wieder. Wenn es überhaupt etwas zu bemängeln gibt, ist es die Entfernung zur BTS-Station. Es gibt einen Shuttle zur BTS . Taxi u. Biker stehen direkt an der Ecke. Vermieterin Sue freundlich und hilfsbereit !!
The condo is a very nice, clean and luxery place to stay. Also is everything closer by! We realy enjoied our stay. I loved the pool.. Thank jou Sue!
Stayed in this beautifully furnished modern Condo with good facilities. Its in a modern secure building with gym and a lovely swimming pool. The building is like a five star hotel.
Sue is a very friendly hostess. She took me around to show the shop, laundry, BRT station. BRT Dorkmai takes u to Centre of Bangkok in about 25 mins. Excellent n cheap Taxi service is provided from the building to anywhere in Bangkok. There is also public bus available at certain times to Centre.
Thank you Sue for everything.
Mustan from London, U.K
Sue is a friendly and flexible host. Her condo is modern with comfortable furniture, good sanitary facilities and a nice little kitchen. The view from the apartment on the river and the city is magnificent.
The apartment building itself has many luxurious facilities. My favorite is the possibility to order a taxi at the security guards right at the entrance. The only "downside" I could find is that you sometimes have to help taxi drivers to find the building, despite its huge size. Tip: Have Google Maps on your phone, to show the location at the taxi driver.
Nice Condo, very clean. Bedroom with beautiful riverview. save.
7 Eleven nearby. i will come back everytime. gunter from Germany
We ad a great time in Susans very nice condo. It is easy to reach public transportation from the condo, both the skytrain and the central pier on the river. Susan made sure we felt comfortable and told us about nearby conveniences.

Occasionally (as in once per week or so) I receive contact requests, but don't recognize the username. Sometimes this is simply because someone I know uses a username I am not aware of, but just as often it is some spam agency, auto-bot, or Indian company trying to sell their services.
When only accepting someones request, i.e. to find out whether it is genuine, do I run into any risks? My main guess is: the risk of receiving more spam (as you appear "alive") and that, as long I don't accept files or links, there should be no real virus threat.
Is this assumption correct?

I lost my husband in November of 2005. He had been diagnosed about 15 months before. I was not working and am soooo thankful I had time with him. Take off work and spend time with your loved ones. You will never get the time back and you will never regret it. I would imagine your loved ones know what is happening to them. It is hard to talk about it but they probably know deep down that they don't have a lot of time. I am very comforted by the fact that my husband and I spent a year hoping for the best but also talking about the what-ifs. He kept fighting to the very end but he was also prepared. He did not give up or lose his spirit even though he knew it was getting bad. The end happened very quickly for my husband and it was very peaceful. There are some signs you can watch for, losing weight, not eating, getting disoriented, etc. There are some good books on hospice and end of life issues which may help you recognize what's happening. The doctors and, especially the nurses, can also help you. Don't be afraid to ask how long they have or find out what is happening. I wish you all the best.

Re: Introduction (27 replies, posted in Introductions!)
Thank you so much for starting this website. It was something I wanted to do months ago but battling cancer is a full-time job and I just never got around to it. My husband (41) had cholangiocarcinoma and tragically died on November 29, 2005. He lived 14 months after his diagnosis. I really hope this website can help others fight this disease and even beat it. I wish all of you the best in your struggles. I will post more on my husband's story under treatments so hopefully others can learn from his experiences.

MN Fringe Festival: Plan of attack, one day out
Steamy: "A Nice Guy's Guide to Awkward Sex" at the Minnesota Fringe
The Minnesota Fringe lifts off in 24 hours, and serious Fringe-goers are meticulously laying out their plan of attack. The Fringe website, an excellent repository of all things Fringe, is an apt place to start. But I also got my hands on the Fringe's printed schedule for this year, and it lays out a vital consideration: geographical reality.
Esteemed former Pioneer Press theater critic Dominic Papatola became a Fringe powerhouse in years past, taking in a show during every slot between Thursday and Sunday (that means 22 shows in four days, all of which he reviewed). This represents a sort of Fringe apotheosis, not recommended for the new or for those under a doctor's supervision (Papatola might have required a doctor's intervention at the end of the weekend, but never mind).
But if you're seeing multiple shows (my current plan is for about 15 or 16 opening weekend), you're going to have practical considerations: making sure you have time to get to your next venue, park, and buy a ticket to the show. There's half an hour between shows, a decent amount of time, but not necessarily if you're traveling from Gremlin in St. Paul to the Ritz in Northeast at 6:30 on Friday night.
The Fringe printed schedule gives you a step in the right planning direction, grouping Fringe venues into four categories: Northeast (the Ritz); St. Paul (Gremlin); Uptown (four venues); and West Bank (eight venues, including the Playwrights' Center which, in Seward, is a very short hop from, say, Rarig at the U).
So if you're planning on hitting it hard this weekend, cluster your plan around location. Spend one block of time in one area, then hit another the next day. Added bonus: walking in on a show you've never heard of. If it's terrific, you won the theatrical equivalent of a scratch-off ticket. If it's awful, well, Fringe vets enjoy remembering the horror stories almost as much as the hours of transcendence.
Another Fringe trailer: Shakespearean violence-fest "Kill Will":

Distracted Driving, Animal Antibiotics, and Anglo-American Relations
Distracted Driving
The National Transportation Safety Board is pushing for a nationwide ban on "nonemergency" use of mobile phones by drivers.
Policy Analyst Marc Scribner comments.
"Obviously the NTSB isn't going to call for bans on speaking in motor vehicles or isolating the driver from the rest of the cab with soundproofing technology. But there are plenty more potential internal distractions to worry about: watching your kids in the backseat through the rear-view mirror, reading a map, eating and drinking, smoking, grooming, adjusting the stereo, using a navigation device, adjusting climate controls, retrieving objects from seats or the floor, etc. All of these internal distraction factors are primarily or partially responsible for some accidents. Rather than institute bans on what drivers may or may not be doing inside their automobiles, drivers ought to be educated on safe driving behaviors. Multitasking while driving naturally increases crash risk, but does anyone for a minute believe that prohibiting any multitasking would be enforceable or even beneficial?"
Animal Antiotics
A few weeks ago, the FDA denied a citizens' petition by environmentalist groups to limit the use of antibiotics on animals.
Senior Fellow Greg Conko comments.
"The use of antibiotics in animals is only one factor (and a small one at that) in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and it contributes far less to the development of resistance than does misuse among human patients. More importantly, though, the use of antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals delivers substantial benefits for both animal and human health. Even the often criticized sub-therapeutic uses of these drugs contribute to reduced pathogen loads in animal-derived foods and have a positive impact on human safety. The question that few have even bothered to ask, and that the scientific community has not yet answered is whether, on balance, forbidding sub-therapeutic use of antibiotics in livestock would do more good than harm. There is good, though by no means conclusive, reason to believe the answer is no."
Anglo-American Relations
Vice President for Strategy Iain Murray penned a critical letter to the editor in response to a Financial Times column on relations between the U.K. and U.S.

- Scholarship Description
- Rhio O'Connor was diagnosed with a deadly cancer (mesothelioma) and given a year to live. Instead of giving up he found his own path to health and outlived his prognosis by more than six years. This path to health included creating his own treatment protocol which consisted of vitamins, minerals, vegetables and fruits components, essential fatty acids, amino acids, enzymes, herbs, a healthy (primarily vegetarian) diet and mind-body medicine. This protocol along with Rhio's optimistic spirit, belief in something greater than himself, and the ability to make tough choices helped him beat his prognosis and live with a cancer considered "incurable" for many years.
Essay Prompt - Please address some or all of the following questions:
-Should cancer patients and doctors be able to use whatever treatments they like in treating cancer? Why?
-What are some examples of "alternative therapies" and why do cancer patients use them when they are not FDA approved?
-Should medicinal medicine and folk medicine have any relevance in cancer?
-It is estimated that it costs over $400 million to bring a new cancer drug to market. Does that establish roadblocks for the testing and approval of alternative therapies?
-What changes or improvements should be made in our healthcare system and the way we treat cancer in this country so that cancer is no longer the leading cause of death in Americans under age 85?
The essay must be between 700 and 1,500 words in length.

There's no Diablo 3 hacking involved, nothing as sinister as that, but some extra weight on your mouse button while you go about your normal day could have you levelled to Paragon 100 in only four days.
Using the PvP map and a Witch Doctor, Zombie Dogs can be spawned then killed to gain XP, and assuming you have the right gear, the dogs can be pumped out at a phenominal rate.
As of writing this bug has not been fixed but hopefully Blizzard will hop right on this. Why would anyone do it? No idea really, but gamers are usually motivated by the fact that it can be done.
It's quite mental as this video illustrates. Now please sort it Blizzard.
Thanks Diablo: IncGamers and JamesL
Hhaahah do you expect Blizzard to fix anything about this game at this point? The whole thing is broken in so many ways, it's not even worth worrying about something pointless like this.
amen captain blizzard destroyed this game to the point where it cant be fixed

Review for: Beeswax Disks - Beeswax Cakes
from: The Community Exchange
By: (Nov 26, 2012)
I have searched many sources for great supplies. I make All-Natural, mostly Organic Personal Care Products. The better the ingredients, the better the products. My customers love my beeswax formula lip balms and solid lotions. Because the wax comes in 1 OZ cakes, it is easy to compound recipes using them. I weigh the wax before I use it, and they are always 1 OZ, or very very close. I don't add sweetner to my lip balms. The wax itself adds a hint of natural sweetner, honey! I highly recommend trying this product because of the quality and consistency.

oh god please no more haiku
bah, I'm bored at work, wanted something to challenge the mind. But, as you wish. Haiku be gone!
what kind of haiku is 2-6-2?
ok, nevermind.
i walked
but i did not speak up.
i fell........................................................
Ok, i resubmit my question.
Haikus are 5-7-5.
What's this 2-6-2 business?
now thats what im talking about... is everyone paying attention to whats happening here?Originally Posted by Santaria
i dont
i know what im doing
i do.
i have no idea . im confused though.
perhaps these haiku
were translated just this Fall
from another tongue?
5-7-5 syllables...
17 syllables for the total verse.
It was a work in motion, not complete. So it was in an odd form still, but I thought I'd build it in a running thread to do something different. Alas...
I prefer Tanka - 5/7/5/7/7 for a total of 31 syllables.
I ride my fixie
Pleasant early autumn night
Leaves rustle and talk
Streetlights shine on empty roads
Nobody knows this but me
Hey, I like that Tanka...
Fugazi, great band...
Just five syllables?
How can that make sense to you?
Screw this dumb nonsense!

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Last year my wife and I bought a house that has metallic Youngstown upper and lower cabinets. They are in great condition. I don't know how old they are, but I would guess 40's or 50's. They are cream colored with yellow and great trim. How would I find out what would be a good asking price all of them? I'm looking into remodeling my kitchen and these cabinets are not going to be included. Any help would be appreciated.

 That's no good. I've forwarded your post on to see what we can figure out. If you ordered a WSF model, they were running 1-2 weeks late recently, and are now listed as running 3-4 days late. But I will let you know as soon as I hear anything about your order.

Spoiler alert: Don't let your children read this column.
Oh, I'm sure they are eager to read an opinion piece on the Editorial page of the newspaper. Kids these days! But don't let them, lest they risk a devastating blow to their fragile innocence.
You see, we're going to talk about the most pressing issue of this holiday season: Santa's race. No, Santa's not entering his reindeer in the Iditarod or anything like that. Santa's race — as in whether Santa is white or black.
This, as those of us who sit at work all day with cable news on the TV can tell you, is a matter of national importance. It has been an unending time filler for the talking heads; it has launched a thousand commentaries; it has challenged all previous records for cable TV vapidness, which already was at an atmospheric level.
For this, we can thank Megyn Kelly of Fox News. Reacting to an item in which Slate blogger Aisha Harris suggested that fat-white-guy Santa should be replaced by a penguin or something more inclusive, Kelly held a panel discussion during which she said, "For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white." And, she added, "Santa is what he is. Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change."
As if all of this didn't carry enough metaphysical weight, Fox commentator Monica Crowley added: "First of all, the penguin would never work, Megyn, because a penguin cannot lug all of those gifts around the world." That, undoubtedly, will make Crowley a frontrunner for the Nobel Prize in physics.
For now, however, the brilliant minds at Fox will have to be content with a bit of a maelstrom. And that brings us to the reason for the spoiler alert. Are you ready? Did you send the kids into the other room? Good. Because, you see, Santa isn't real.
Sure, he's based upon Saint Nicholas, who lived during the third century in what is now Turkey and reputedly gave gifts to children. But as for a guy traveling around the world in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer … um, not so much.
Saint Nicholas was, indeed, white. Or probably as white as you would expect somebody born in that part of the world in the third century would be. Which brings us to the real thesis from Kelly's anthropological dissertation.
Not content to settle the question about Santa Claus' race, she added, "You know, I mean, Jesus was a white man, too." We know this is true because, well, centuries worth of paintings and stained glass depicting a blue-eyed Jesus can't be wrong, can they? Jesus, I would imagine, was exactly as light-skinned as you would expect a Jew living in the Middle East 2,000 years ago to be.
Jesus spoke English?
Which reminds of a story that long has made the rounds in newspaper circles. I don't know if it's true; it's probably apocryphal. But somebody at some point supposedly wrote a letter to the editor at some paper suggesting that English should be the official language of the United States. "I believe that if English was good enough for Jesus Christ," they wrote, "then it's good enough for me."
That's enough to make you think that Jesus must have been extremely frustrated being the only person who spoke English in Nazareth; it might have hampered the effectiveness of his preaching. But it also makes you think about the notion of icons and the role they play in our culture.
Jesus was a very real person, but still he means different things to different people. To some, he is the son of God; to others, he was a prophet if not a deity; to others, he was simply a man.
Santa Claus, on the other hand, is an entirely mythical figure and, believe it or not, mythical figures should mean different things to different people. He's neither white nor black; he transcends race. He resides in the heart and the soul as a personification of the Christmas spirit, and any argument that attempts to humanize him is pointless and absurd.
Santa could be blue or purple for all we know, and it really wouldn't make a bit of difference. Even if that fact spoils it for some people.

Adventure Nepal - 7th October
Looking for fellow travellers that are heading to Nepal on the 7th...
It's the first time I've ever done anything like this so I'm very excited but also a little nervous.. I haven't even bought a backpack yet - better get a move on!
I will be going on this trip too! We should be around 10-15 people from what I gather.
If you need any advice on backpacks etc, let me know. Best is to visit one of the shops (Ellis Brigham or Costwolds - depends which part of UK you are in, one is more stocked than the other) - the selection is excellent.
Hi Conrad!
Thanks for getting back to me. I've since found out there's 14 of us.. though the others are keeping quiet :)
Managed to get a great daypack and I'm borrowing a big backpack from from one of my friends. Not having a great time with the anti-malaria tablets but never mind. Are you all set? I've still got a few bits to get.
3 days to go!
Hi Kat,
That's good - quite a sizeable group considering that the max is 18. I'm fine, just need to get some stuff from London tomorrow before flying en-route via Doha, Qatar.
I'm fine with the anti-malarial tablets - tried them out in other treks before. We really need them for the Chitwan Jungle but unlikely for anywhere else.
I have to choose between two large backpacks now...and need to decide whether to get a sleeping bag or hire one.
Tomorrow's the day! Hope you're doing fine.
You guys must be back from your trip soon so any hints/tips for those of us that leave on 28th October?
Spending Money?
Kit Challenges?
Optional Extras?

DON'T LEAVE ME NOW EDDIE; My Loving Touch Opened His Eyes for 60 Seconds and a Thin Smile Broke on His Lips
Murphy, Rachel, The Mirror (London, England)
Stricken Eddie Kidd's dark eyes flicked open and his lips curled into a thin smile.
Squeezing his hand, his wife Sarah gasped: "I'm here, Eddie. I love you so much. You've got to fight. You can't leave me now."
It was the middle of the night in the intensive care ward at Warwick Hospital, where stunt rider Eddie has been in a coma since a devastating bike crash last Sunday.
Last night, following a second scan, doctors confirmed that the 36-year-old star has brain damage. Sarah,30, said: "I don't know if he'll live or die. It's still touch and go."
But when her husband briefly smiled through his pain earlier this week Sarah was clutching at any straw to keep up her hopes.
Her heart pounding, she beamed at a nurse: "My Eddie's coming back. He's coming back to me."
Instead the nurse put a hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I've got to put him out."
Then, as Sarah looked on in dazed confusion, she administered a sedative and Eddie's eyes closed.
Yesterday, speaking for the first time since her husband's horrific crash, tearful Sarah said at a hotel close to the hospital: "He was conscious for a whole minute.
"In those 60 seconds, in my mind I had Eddie up and walking. I'm a very positive person. To me the cup is always half full, not half empty.
"I assumed it was a good sign. Then a surgeon told me I mustn't get too excited. I must calm down.
"Those 60 seconds didn't mean Eddie was getting better. In fact, it could have harmed him.
"His brain was still bleeding and swelling. When he regained consciousness, his brain was working on its own and that could have caused even more bleeding.
"I was completely devastated. It was the lowest moment of my life - worse than when I heard the news of the crash, and worse than when I first saw him lying there in a coma.
"Now we know Eddie has been brain damaged, but we won't know until Monday what that means. By then, he may start to come round and we can see what the long-term effects may be.
"I know he isn't getting any better. But at the moment, it's a relief to know he's not getting any worse."
Eddie lost control of his 500cc bike as he leapt 50ft over a speeding car and plunged down a bank at a Hell's Angel rally in Long Marston, Warwickshire. He suffered severe head and pelvic injuries.
Sarah, married to the stunt hero for four turbulent years, was on holiday in the South of France with the couple's two-year-old son, Jack, when the news came through.
With Eddie's parents, Marjorie and Eddie senior, at her side, Sarah said: "A builder we met over there heard about the crash when he got home.
"He phoned our local bar in France and just said Eddie had had an accident.
"I thought it would be the usual - a bash to his knee or something.
"So I rang the hospital, and said quite breezily: 'What's Eddie done to himself now?'" Lowering her head at the memory, she went on: "They couldn't speak to me. My stepmother had to phone back and speak to one of Eddie's sisters who said 'Don't put Sarah on a boat, put her on a plane.'
"My heart sank and I went cold all over. I knew immediately it was bad - and that meant a head injury.
"My dad flew back with me and Jack. The journey was a nightmare.
"I had Eddie dead and buried. I couldn't get it out of my mind. I'd only seen him five days before, and he was the usual Eddie bubbling about his next jump. But I couldn't picture him bubbling anymore."
The flight was delayed by 15 minutes and Sarah screamed and shouted at other passengers at being forced to wait.
She said: "I got myself in a right state. I didn't get to the hospital until 10 that night."
When Sarah saw her grievously injured husband she kissed his cheek, held his hand and told him she and Jack loved him very much. …

Weimann: Big Sunderland win made me realise how lucky I am
Andreas Weimann says the big 6-1 win over Sunderland was the best game he's ever played in - and made him realise the true majesty of Villa Park.
Weimann scored the second goal as Villa put down a very real marker in the race for survival against one of their major rivals.
The 22-year-old says the victory was huge and the final whistle gave him a chance to look around the crowd and drink in the awesome atmosphere.
He said: "It was the best game I have played in. It stands out above the rest.
"It finished 6-1 and you certainly don't see that every week!
"It was a night game too which made it even more special and the fans were really excited.
"We spurred them on with our performance and they pushed us on with their support. It was the perfect mix really.
"It was a big game. It was very close at the foot of the table at the time.
"We scored and then they equalised soon after. That could have knocked us out of our stride but it didn't.
"I came up with the second, which was a great feeling, then the second half felt like every shot was a goal. We just kept on playing till the very end. That was a big win for us.
"We beat everyone we needed to beat in that period of the season. We beat QPR, Reading, Norwich and others. The gaffer told us that he thought we were due to pick up a big win because of the way we were performing. He just said keep going every week.
"It's nights like that, playing well and with the crowd right behind you, that you realise how lucky you are to play at Villa Park. It's just one of the best grounds to play at.
"Villa Park has everything. It has the fantastic pitch, it has the fabulous history but it's a great venue too. The pitch is perfect.
"Whenever you hear other managers or players talking about playing at Villa Park, they always say they're looking forward to it because it's viewed so highly.
"For us, it's brilliant to call it our home stadium."
Weimann is eyeing another win this weekend although he certainly doesn't expect another 6-1.
He added: "It will be a very different test this time around. Sunderland have a different manager and new players too. It will be a very tough game for us."

Brothers In Arms - Recap
<-- Previous Episode

Michael Westin is in deep cover in the middle of a jungle. He talks to Randall Burke via a communicator. Westen flips down his night vision goggles and begins moving.
Burke heads in to question a weary, sweaty Sorrano, who he believes tried to kill him at the warehouse. Westen is listening to Burke question Sorrano over the communicator. Sorrano refuses to break and tells Burke that he will never tell him anything. Burke laughs at this and slides a computer screen around, showing Sorrano what Westen sees. It turns out that Westen is at Sorrano's home and stands over Sorrano's young daughter, who seems about 10 years old. Westen points his gun at the girl as Sorrano shakes with anger. He begs Burke to call off Westen and finally breaks, revealing that Cuba is the location Burke seeks. Burke tells Sorrano it is okay and that he made the right choice. Sorrano, tears running down his face, asks if they are going to hurt his daughter. Burke says they aren't. Sorrano says the Russians are going to come after him. Burke agrees and gives Sorrano a gun and a single bullet. Burke walks off as Sorrano takes his life. Westen picks up the little girl's teddy bear and places it under her head.
Westen is on the phone later with Andrew Strong, his CIA contact. Westen is back in his apartment and says the job with Burke is getting too hot, telling Strong about what Burke made him down with the little girl. He reveals that Burke wants him to get Sam Axe and Jesse Porter back for the job in Cuba. Strong tells Westen that the stakes are too high and they need to do it. The call ends as Westen smashes his glass against the wall in anger, with alcohol splashing all over the place.
Sam and Jesse arrive in Cuba, meeting with Westen near the water at what seems to be a marketplace. We learn that Burke wants to break a woman free. The men meet up with Burke, who fills them in on some details. They are in an abandoned building across from the prison. Burke reveals there is one entrance to the prison and he does not give any information about the woman. As they push for details, Burke gets angry and gives short answers, revealing that the woman means something to him.
Our three good guys meet up sans Burke, as Westen gives a plan that involves tricking the Cuban prison guards/officials into bringing the woman out. The plan they hash out involves using Fiona Glenanne to help set up someone back in Miami, making them look like a spy and drawing the attention of the Russians. Fiona is not thrilled with Westen's call, saying that she cannot drop everything every single time he calls. Westen apologizes for what he could not provide her with and reveals that he is happy that she has that now. She agrees to help him.
Madeline Westen is helping Fiona. They pull up outside a house and we learn that Fiona is not telling her boyfriend Carlos Cruz what is going on. The target, Ivan, leaves his house and goes to enter his car. Fiona approaches the man and asks if he can help her with some boxes. He refuses, which leads to Fiona pulling a gun on him to convince him otherwise.
Westen barbarically conceals a listening device inside his arm, figuring that no one will look there. He slices his arm with a huge knife, while Sam helps him place the device in the wound. Burke tests it out, successfully.
Westen approaches the prison. A ton of guns are pulled on him as he knocks on the door. A man on the other side reveals that the repair shop is closed – Westen says he knows it is not a repair shop. He gives his name to a surveillance camera and the door swings open, as the Russians inside forcibly pull him inside.
Two Russians drag Westen inside, with additional men behind him. The dark, dimly-lit building is full of surveillance equipment and men. Westen tries to convince the men that what he needs is urgent. Vladimir Dubov shows up. He is in charge of the Russian operation and knows who Westen is. Westen asks for help, saying he needs protection. He tells Dubov that the CIA is in Havana and plans to raid the building. Dubov doesn't buy it. Westen says they are after the girl, Sonia. Dubov perks up when he hears this information. Westen eats a backfist from the suddenly furious Dubov, who says there is no way this is the truth. Westen reveals Dubov has a spy in his midst. Dubov intends to get to the bottom of this.
Fiona and Madeline have Ivan tied up in the backseat of a van. Ivan begs for water as soon as Fiona leaves the van. He asks Madeline why they are doing this, as it will cost Ivan his life. He offers to use his connections to find another way, but Madeline says no. Seeing no other option, he kicks open the back door and tries to flee. Eventually he stops to laugh at Fiona, and rams right into the van.
Dubov is waterboarding Westen. He wants the truth – who sent him and why. Westen says the CIA and Dubov says it is a lie. Westen says a source in Miami gave them up. More waterboarding follows. Dubov learns of Ivan's abduction and that he left information in his vehicle. As Dubov figures out what to do, Westen pushes the issue, adding things to his story. Finally Dubov buys it and sends a team after the fake CIA location Westen has made up.
Back at their temporary base, Sam and Porter smash the office, trying to make it seem like they quickly abandoned their base. Cuban police pull up outside as they are covering their tracks, causing the men to improvise. They see a balcony and rush to it. A passing bus offers them a way out as they jump to its roof. The police step on the balcony and just miss the bus pulling away.
Westen eats some rotten bread and asks his captor for water. The captor proceeds to spit all over the floor. Dubov returns, saying that his men did not make it to the CIA location in time. Westen tries to convince Dubov the only way that works is if one of his men tipped the CIA off, as they had destroyed everything before the Russians arrived. Dubov finds this impossible, but that it could be possible.
Burke calls Sam and Porter, telling them that they need to abduct a Russian and make him look like a spy. They are not thrilled with this idea, to say the least. They make their way to a location where a Russian is getting stuff inside his car, and after securing the right hats, they make their move, tossing him in the back of the car and driving off.
Fiona and Madeline want Ivan's financial information. They want to use this to funnel money to the "spy" that Sam and Porter just took, to make it look like he is getting money from the CIA. Ivan refuses, even when faced with certain death. He finally relents, as long as they agree to write a letter to his girlfriend Eva. He dictates the letter, which is very sweet and praises Eva for making his life whole. He reveals that he cannot pay for her nursing school because the money is going to the Russian "spy." Fiona rolls her eyes and swears to set up an account for Eva, after giving the "spy" $500.
Westen is uncuffed, as Dubov says they found the traitor. Westen is now on Dubov's good side, as he can help the Russians escape. They go to get the girl, who has been drugged. While they are preparing her, Dubov receives a call that changes the plan. A Russian submarine is offshore and is diverting to grab the Russians – therefore, there is no need to move the girl. Westen looks back at the girl, unsure of what to do next.
Sam, Burke and Porter are across from the Russian headquarters again and are stumbling over their plan. Nothing they come up with seems to get Sonia out the front door alive. Burke says he will take explosives inside the building himself. He intends to reveals himself as Westen's CIA contact, find Sonia, and blow all three out the door. Burke reveals that people who work with him are his family and that he will not leave Michael or Sonia behind. Sam and Porter agree to help him, even though they do not have faith in the mission.
Burke knocks on the door and reveals himself to Dubov. Dubov tells Burke to calm down, that reinforcements are on their way. Burke says he wants to defect and will make a deal. He offers a laptop with secret classified U.S. information. That seems to work for Dubov, but Burke says he wants to know Westen is safe first. Time is of the essence lies Burke, as the CIA will change codes when they realize he is gone. Westen is stunned to see him. Burke says the room does not seem safe – Dubov says it is. Burke wants a minute alone with Westen, as Dubov is trusting Burke less and less by the second. Once they are alone, Burke tells Westen that they have to move and he can get him out. Burke calls Sonia the "key" to Westen's future and that she is "everything." He makes Westen promise to get her out and Burke says farewell to Westen, as he is going to use the explosives to blow everyone up, including himself. He succeeds, taking out Dubov and a handful of Russians.
The explosion rips a huge hole in the wall. Sam and Porter take that as their cue. Westen subdues his two guards and frees Sonia. With Sam and Porter pulling security, their weapons trained on the hole in the wall, Westen heads towards it. A gunman begins firing on the location as Westen carries Sonia through the wall. The team subdues the Russians and pulls off, with gunfire erupting around their vehicle as they pull away.
Madeline and Fiona cut Ivan free. He asks if Eva is okay and if they sent the letter. The ladies did not, as they instead give him passports, information and money so he can have a second chance with Eva in Iowa. She is waiting for him in the bus station and he hurries off before the ladies can change their minds.
Sam does not understand why Burke put so much value on Sonia' safety. Westen doesn't understand, either. Sam and Westen see their boat they are going to use to get back to Miami. They tell Porter to get Sonia, but as they are talking Porter is attacked. He wakes up and we see that Sonia has freed herself from her handcuffs and the car. Porter though she was still passed out and Westen says that they need to find her.

text: Hi, I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. I ride two bikes, both quite old: a Torpado I built up from a bare frame in about '74 and a Cinelli I purchased around '84. The Torpado is my commute bike (10 hilly miles each way, about 3 miles on dirt/gravel, the rest on pavement) but I don't use the Cinelli much any more, though I should as it's a fabulous bike. My bikes are pretty old, but I have to admit that the powerplant is even older as I hit 50 last year . I ride only from April through Sept, about 4 days a week. And just so you know I'm not wimpin' out cuzza the cold, I do x-c ski and skijoor all winter. I like to swim too, so I'll have to take a look at the triathlon posts someday, but for now I find the 50+ and 'daily commute' forums fun reading.
