Newsnight could be axed after 32 years as Lord McAlpine and Jimmy Savile crises engulf the BBC
- Lord Patten to meet acting director general Tim Davie to decide if it will be axed after 32 years
By Martin Robinson
PUBLISHED: 08:37 EST, 12 November 2012 | UPDATED: 10:01 EST, 12 November 2012
Future: Lord Patten leaves his home today and admits that the future of Newsnight is in doubt
The future of Newsnight is hanging in the balance after Lord Patten admitted its botched report that falsely accused Tory peer Lord McAlpine of being a paedophile could see it scrapped after 32 years.
The BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten and acting director general Tim Davie will meet today to discuss if the programme can survive the corporation's crisis.
Newsnight was first broadcast in January 1980 but in the past year it has been badly damaged by its decision not to run an investigation into Jimmy Savile's abuse of children and now the smearing of Lord McAlpine.
When Lord Patten was asked if the show will survive he said: 'That's one of the things we will be discussing with the acting director-general today.
'I think one of the things that should survive is the investigative journalism which it has represented along with Panorama.
'At the heart of our news offering has to be uncompromising investigative journalism but you have to get it right.'
John Whittingdale, chairman of the culture and media select committee, said: 'Newsnight has been very badly damaged by this, and maybe it will need to re-branded. But the BBC will need to continue to have a flagship news and current-affairs programme'
Newsnight has already been wounded by its decision not to air an investigation it commissioned last year into the criminal activities of the late Jimmy Savile.
Last month, following a decision by ITV to screen the allegations, Newsnight editor Peter Rippon 'stepped aside' pending the outcome of a review by Nick Pollard.
Two more senior BBC staff today 'stepped aside' at the crisis-hit Corporation as the fallout continues after a botched Newsnight investigation.
Then and now: Newsnight started in January 1980 with Peter Snow (left during first show) and is now presented by stars including Jeremy Paxman
BBC News director Helen Boaden and her deputy Stephen Mitchell follow Newsnight editor Peter Rippon, who also 'stepped aside' last month following a shelved probe into Jimmy Savile's sex abuse.
Meanwhile stalwart presenter Jeremy Paxman provoked fears he will
quit Newsnight.
fiery presenter blamed 'cowards and incompetents' for the departure of
director general George Entwistle as he damned a culture of
'timeserving' and 'biddable' managers.
embittered response raised fears that he will leave the programme,
where he is known for his combative questioning and refusal to tolerate
evasive politicians.
Even staff on the programme are beginning to question whether it will be able to survive the crisis.
BBC insider asked whether, following two separate reviews into the
programme, 'it would be the kind of brand you want to be associated
Others believe a
brief suspension is possible – until at least after Christmas – while
the mess is cleared up and a new team installed.
Former Newsnight presenter Peter Snow said last night: 'It is a brilliant programme. It produces wonderful stuff and has done successfully for 32 years. To end Newsnight would be absurd. But I'm afraid Newsnight have made mistakes and of course they are going to have to suffer for that.'

Rescue teams are scrambling to find survivors of an earthquake that rocked southern China on Sunday and that Chinese officials say killed at least 398 people and injured at least 1,800 others.
NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from Shanghai that, heavy rain and aftershocks — the U.S. Geological Survey have reported four stronger than magnitude 4.5, according to The Associated Press — are hampering efforts to bring aid to survivors.
Here's more from Frank:
"The earthquake destroyed more than 11,000 houses in Yunnan province and damaged an additional 24,000, according to the state-run People's Daily online.
"Chinese Premier Li Keqiang is touring the damaged area where more than 7,000 rescuers have been dispatched."
The earthquake caused landslides that blocked many roads and rivers, and Frank reports that the damming of one river has created a lake that is rising more than three feet per hour, forcing residents of a nearby village to flee.
The Yunnan Civil Affairs Department says that 230,000 people so far have been evacuated from their homes, and that more than 57,000 in the hardest-hit area may still need evacuation, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Doctors there are reporting severe shortages of medicine and unmanageable conditions.
" 'The critically injured patients keep coming, but we are unable to carry out operations for many of them,' one of the doctors working at a makeshift tent in the village said. 'It is impossible to deal with severe injuries such as intracranial hemorrhage in such conditions.' "
The premier tells Xinhua that an intensive rescue effort will be required. "(We can) never give up until the last minute," he said.
One rescue volunteer told the AP that along the road from Zhaotong to Longtou, at least half the buildings had collapsed.
" 'I saw dead bodies being wrapped in quilts and carried away,' said [Ma Yaogi, 18], who arrived with 20 other volunteers Monday. 'Some were wrapped with small quilts. Those must be kids.' "
The region is not new to severe earthquakes, the AP reports. "In 1970, a magnitude-7.7 earthquake in Yunnan killed at least 15,000 people, and a magnitude-7.1 quake killed more than 1,400 in 1974," the news service adds. "In September 2012, 81 people died and 821 were injured in a series of quakes in the region."
Still, many homes in the impoverished region around the epicenter were made of brick or wood, according to Xinhua — and vulnerable to earthquakes.
The U.S. Geological Survey put Sunday's quake at a magnitude 6.1, while China measured it at 6.5.

An Australian woman and her teenage daughter who became ill and died within hours of each other in Bali were probably killed by a form of food poisoning.
Hospital nurse manager Noelene Bischoff, 54, and her 14-year-old daughter, Yvana, from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland state, died last month less than a day after eating fish at a restaurant on the Indonesian island.
It starts with a peppery, metallic taste in the mouth, dizziness and flushing on the upper body.
But to die from scombroid food poisoning, believed to have killed Noelene Bischoff, 54, and her daughter Yvana, 14, in Bali last month, is rare, NSW Health says.
Autopsy results suggest the pair died from a combination of scombroid food poisoning after eating fish in a Bali restaurant, and existing medical conditions.
Jennie Musto, manager of enterics at NSW Health, said there have been only seven reported outbreaks of scombroid poisoning in NSW since 2005.
The outbreaks have been small, with an average of three people affected each time. There were no fatalities.
"We expect there is a lot more of it than is reported," Ms Musto said. "Most people with scombroid probably have very mild symptoms, so wouldn't present to a medical centre or emergency."
She said that, to her knowledge, nobody had died from scombroid food poisoning in Australia.
"It is extremely rare," she said.
Scombroid food poisoning is caused by eating fish with toxic levels of histamine, which are triggered by inadequate refrigeration and cannot be reversed by cooking.
"The spoilage of the fish happens straight after the fish has been caught if it's not refrigerated properly," Ms Musto said.
"It's more common when fish is caught by recreational fishermen or when refrigeration isn't available."
Fish that smells old or off should not be consumed, as it could present a risk of scombroid poisoning.
Scombroid poisoning can be differentiated from other types of food poisoning by its rapid onset; diners usually feel ill 30 minutes after eating spoiled fish.
Symptoms include flushing of the upper body, dizziness, a peppery or metallic taste in the mouth, diarrhoea, and tingling and numbness in fingers, toes and around the mouth.
The most common types of food poisoning in Australia are bacterial, caused by bacteria such as salmonella, campylobacter, E.coli and listeria.
The number of salmonella cases reported in Australia have almost doubled in the past 10 years, with almost 13,000 cases last year, compared with 6990 in 2003. There were 180 cases of E.coli reported in 2013, compared with 95 in 2011.
The executive director of the Food Safety Information Council, Juliana Madden, said eggs were the most common cause of food-related disease outbreaks.
"Keeping eggs refrigerated and making sure they are not left in the car for a long period is very important," she says.
"Proper food handling, stopping cross contamination, washing your hands and making sure meat is cooked properly can all lower the risk of food poisoning."
Further testing is yet to take place to confirm scombroid food poisoning as the cause of death of Noelene and Yvana Bischoff.
"There are some more tests that still have to be done, but they more than likely won't change the result," Ms Bischoff's brother, Malcolm Bischoff, said.

To Margaret 3.. from Thelma Louise This was a really great idea. It worked perfectly. Thanks so much. I live in Florida and we sure don't need any more humidity put in the house. This saves a lot. I will pass this on to others. Thanks again
Tried this for my spaghetti dinner tonight. Wow, I don't have to worry about the pasta boiling over and then trying to clean off my glass stove top. Thanks for posting.
This worked fantastically!
What a great idea! I tried it twice. First with elbow macaroni and then with tiny shells which took less time to cook than 15 minutes about 7-8 minutes. I did add a little oil and salt to my water before adding the pasta and everything worked out fine. Sure will be nice to free up a burner on busy occations. Thank you.
20 minutes is perfect for whole grain pasta and hard boiled eggs!!! Been doing it this way for YEARS now!!!
Wonderful cooking method. Works everytime! Have been using this recipe for several years and have not thought about rating it until I made it again today, using egg noodles, to go with Awesome Baked Pork Chops. I love that you can just set the timer after you add the pasta, forget about it, and have it come out perfect. Thanks, Margaret3, for posting
This was PERFECT Thanks so much for sharing
Great energy saver!

It's been a long journey since news first came out that Sarah Silverman had done her first ever nude scene, but now the wait is over. Take This Waltz has finally been released in blu-ray format. We can now enjoy every single pubic hair in stunning high definition. Now, I'm not saying this movie is bad – it's pretty good, in fact – but the truth is that most of the press it got when it came out was around this scene right here. Sarah Silverman bare-ass naked in a gym shower.

With this much gratuitous nudity, you could be surprised to hear that the director is actually a woman. However, these carefully selected caps I've put up can be a bit misleading. In the actual scene, director Sarah Polley constantly reminds us of the non-sexual intent behind it by switching the camera back and forth between Sarah Silverman's group and the old, wrinkly, overweight group in the next stall over. On one hand, it's a bit of a boner-shrinker, but on the other hand, I have to give it to Sarah Polley for the realism, cold and painful as it may be.

If you have eyes, you'll probably also have noticed that Michelle Williams is in this scene too. Yes, lovely Michelle Williams who's naked in every damn movie she's in. She actually has another full-frontal nude scene in this film, but I'll get to that in the next post. For now, you can enjoy the caps and clips from this scene below. I've made an effort to leave the naked grannies out of the caps, but consider the clip uncharted territory. You've been warned.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P52 review
Dec 12, 2003 • Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P52
Excellent portable d-cam. Loads of features, nice looking and right weight. Could be a little smaller though, like the P8/10 series, but I understand it is a lower range camera. Overall, I rate it 4.5, for the camera it is, considering price/functions. I also bought a Sony MS 64MB and the carrying pouch, the LCS-PEA.
- Zoom too short ranged
- Overall size (not weight)
- Obsolete 16MB MS

Samsung caves to Google pressure and will stop pushing its Android apps and custom UIs, says report
Samsung has succumbed to pressure from Google and will now make Android on its device appear a little more Android and a lot less Samsung.
According to Recode, both companies began a dialogue at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show early this month with the hope of hammering out an agreement. Google wants to "bring Samsung's view of Android in line" with its own - and Samsung is apparently considering caving to this demand.
One of the ways Samsung will change is that it plans to alter or axe its new Magazine UX interface that overlays Android, said Recode. It'll also spotlight Google's apps for movies, music, etc, rather than placing priority on its own apps. Recode had no concrete details about whether Google made any concessions within the agreement.
Update: Google just announced it is selling Motorola to Lenovo. Could that be Google's concession?
When asked to respond to Recode's report, Samsung said it tries to give users many options and a great experience. A vague response, indeed. But Samsung seemed to confirm it would continue offering services from Google, carrier providers, and itself. We've contacted Google and will update if more information becomes available.
READ: Samsung sells record 86 million smartphones in just three months
A new report from ABI research claimed that 25 per cent of Android devices shipped in the fourth quarter did not have Google's services installed. However, if Recode is correct, Google has stemmed this trend, at least on Samsung devices, and will be able to continue using Android as a platform for serving up Google Play content.
As for Samsung, it's not immediately clear how the company would gain from such a deal with Google. It has been pushing its own software and services for a while and will even launch its Tizen OS on a smartphone soon. That said, Samsung might simply want Google on its side, especially if it is interested in co-developing handsets down the road.

This page lists the newest arcade games for children and Big Kids to be added recently to the Learn4Good Games Area. We hope you share and enjoy these fun easy-to-play and more challenging arcade games with your family and friends.
Block removal, match 3, 4 or more game with a strategic twist! Wrong Block is a challenging and unusual match three puzzle and treasure hunt-style game where you must remove singular colored blocks which prevent neighboring blocks from forming identical, adjacent matching groups of three or more. This is a quirky departure from normal matching puzzles where you usually swap or move blocks to make matches.
Playing against the clock, your ultimate task in each level is to move all of the pieces of a special artifact (shown to you at the beginning of the level) to the very bottom row of the grid. To do this, you must remove 'Wrong Blocks' as quickly and strategically as possible.
Skills required: In this fun, grid-based, point-and-click puzzle, good focus, concentration, observation skills, great determination and a sense of urgency are essential. You must carefully and methodically scan the grid in an attempt to create matching groups that would be advantageous to eliminate. Fast reactions and accurate mouse clicking skills are also important, especially against the pressure of the ticking clock!
Play a high octane, retro-style, motorcycle racing game featuring a top down view of the action on four awesome international tracks. In Wheelers, you must put your reputation on the line against savvy computer-controlled opponents in 3-lap races where pit-stopping for fuel is a vitally important task. Perform classy overtaking moves as you power toward that Checkered Flag!
Skills required: In this straight-forward, easy-to-play, online motorbike game, you must mix patience with aggressive driving in order to hit the front. Careering around at top speed at all times is a dangerous tactic – Instead, try to take corners at a slower pace, and then accelerate through the straights. Fast reactions, good hand-eye coordination and keyboard control skills are all essential in your quest to unlock and conquer all 4 circuits.
Create and eliminate adjacent matches of 3 identical blocks, and exercise your reaction speed in this fun, Tetris-themed skill game. Stack Up is a fast-paced and challenging block stacking game where your task is to carefully create horizontal, vertical, or diagonal matches of 3 or more identical blocks. Very similar to Tetris, this descending block activity features 3-block units which you must skillfully manipulate as they fall. You must hit a specified target number of valid matches (lines) in order to complete each level.
Skills / strategy required: This is a dexterity and reflex-based construction puzzle where you must react quickly to position the falling blocks to your advantage. Use good hand-eye coordination and sharp visual skills to carefully (yet swiftly) figure out where to place each block unit. Try to keep a cool head when the blocks near the top of the grid – patience is important!
Play a basic numbers sequencing game where you must turn red spheroids blue by shooting them in numerical order against the clock. Spheroids is a straight-forward, space invader-style, aiming and accuracy arcade game for younger kids (kindergarten to junior elementary student level) where you combine accurate missile fire with visual skills as you try to hit unpredictable moving spheres must be targeted in a numerical sequence. You play the role of a spaceship pilot, and must try to deactivate the numbered spheroids before the clock reaches zero.
Skills / strategy required: Pinpoint keyboard control and coordination are paramount to your success in this retro-style, vertical-firing space arcade game. Sharp visual skills, focus, concentration, and lots of enthusiasm and determination are also required as you work to take out each spheroid in the correct order. Although the clock is ticking, the best strategy is to keep your cool, and avoid wild, aimless shooting. Hitting spheroids out of sequence is far more damaging to your chances than a near miss – so try to time your shots carefully!
Ricochet War is a challenging aiming and accuracy-based shooting game for older kids that combines angle-based shooting and hazardous rebounds. In each of the 21 increasingly-tough levels, your goal is to eliminate all of the stickman enemies by firing red bullets from your gun. You must use the contours of each level to your advantage by 'ricocheting' your bullets toward your enemies (who are often perched on hard-to-reach ledges with other platforms and obstacles in the way of direct shots).
Skills required: In this stimulating, shooting-based skill game, focusing on the angles and remaining alert are the keys to victory. You must use the walls and objects 'billiard-style' - ricocheting your bullets as you would with the cue ball in a difficult escape situation. Good hand-eye coordination skills, steady mouse control and a willingness to dodge and weave around dangerous rebounds are also required traits here. Trial and error is essential as you work to learn from your mistakes, and adjust your aim accordingly.
Rainbow is a straight-forward, platform-based, maze game where you must unlock the Exit Door in each ledge-filled level by collecting the 4 pots of gold (each of which contains a colored mist above it, representing the missing colors - red, yellow, green and blue). At the beginning of each level, the entire background area is completely black and white in color – and you must restore the 4 key colors to the world in order to progress. The catch is that the collectible pots required to restore each color are often in hard-to-reach locations - and you must move boulders and other objects to gain access to the missing pots.
Skills required: In this tricky, jumping-based skill game, good focus and observation skills are vitally important as you scour each level in search of the mist-covered pots needed restore the colors to the levels. Problem-solving skills are also important as many initially inaccessible ledges must be reached by moving rocks into the correct areas. Swift keyboard control is also important on your quest through each maze-like level.
Play a challenging, endless running / flying-style game of momentum where you must stay airborne and survive for as long as possible on an intense flight through an enchanted forest. Pixle is a fun and atmospheric flying game and reaction-based skill game where you must keep the enigmatic, little 'Pixle' character flying through the air for as long as possible by collecting energy beads, and avoiding obstacles. Pixle begins the flight as a shapeless blob, and one of your tasks is to collect 'combo' balls in order to transform the little guy into a majestic character of shade.
Skills required: In this tricky, side-scrolling, survival arcade game, fast reactions must be combined with good focus and concentration skills as you try to survive and prolong the action for as long as you can. Important decision-making skills come into play from the very beginning; you must decide whether to use your computer mouse or keyboard to control Pixle's movement.
Slow down time, collect powerups, and dodge hazards in a retro-style survival quest! Operation Chaos is an 8-bit, space piloting arcade game where you must use fast mouse control to dodge blocks, enemies and other obstacles in a mad dash to stay alive. In this challenging, vertical scrolling, skill-based game, you can utilize 'bullet time' to slow down the action and evade enemies while guiding your spaceship safely to the end of each increasingly-difficult level. Have you got the piloting skills to complete all 10 levels?
Reasons to play: Fans of classic, 1980s-style space invaders games should enjoy the nostalgic action here. However, it's not all about the nostalgia – This game also plays as a stimulating and tricky test and exercise of your reaction skills, concentration, mouse control, determination, and will to win.
Help Panik to save the earth by bursting all the cyber bubbles: Panik in Bubble Trouble is a fast-paced, bubble shooting game of skill where you must eliminate dangerous bouncing bubbles by splitting them into smaller bubbles, and then eliminating them entirely! You play the role of Panik (a brave robo-bunny), and must accurately fire your special bubble bursting harpoon gun at the bubbles in order to split and eliminate them.
Skills required: In this fun, high-intensity arcade game, you must dodge and weave around the confined play area, keeping Panik out of danger while also positioning him in areas where he can burst bubbles. Fast reactions, sharp dexterity and nimble keyboard skills all play a part as you try to survive the onslaught of bubbles. Good concentration skills are also important – You must remain focused and ready to capitalize on each opportunity to strike!
Invasion Lite is a fast-paced, colored bubble popping arcade game for kids & teens to enjoy where you must fire bombs at invading bubbles (balls) with your Red Ball weapon situated at the bottom of a confined game grid. Utilizing fast reactions, strategy and aiming & accuracy skills, you must quickly and efficiently eliminate wave after wave of colorful enemy bubbles before they either reach the bottom of the battlefield or eliminate your Red Ball with their own missile fire.
Skills / strategy required: In this non-stop and addicting, action-packed bubble shooter game, sharp reflexes and concentration skills are really important. Dodge and weave around the oncoming enemy fire using nimble mouse control / hand eye coordination skills. A good strategy is to try to anticipate the next position of the moving enemy balls, and then fire your bombs toward that area.
Miniclip Tetris is a fun and highly-customizable online version of the iconic building block game and popular brainteaser puzzle. Here, in default mode, instead of beginning the game with an empty grid, some of the tower has already been constructed – albeit poorly – and it's up to you to get it back on track! As ever with Tetris games, you must carefully maneuver the descending blocks in order to create solid, horizontal rows that are eliminated from the game screen. Miniclip Tetris also gives you the opportunity to customize your game experience (speed, difficulty and block shape) via the Options icon.
Skills / strategy required: Tetris has remained a really popular arcade game for more than 30 years because it tests and exercises a wide range of physical and mental skills including reaction speed, finger dexterity, your observation skills, concentration, analytical thinking and creative engineering skills, problem-solving determination, and more. Try to avoid the strategy of 'waiting' for advantageous blocks – Make use of each falling block available to you as best as you can!
Fracture is a highly-addicting and intense classic 1980s-style, space invaders shoot 'em up extravaganza and accuracy-based skill game. Here, you control a speedy spaceship in a confined battlefield, and must attempt to eliminate the various colored-shape enemy spacecraft that chase you around the play zone. This is non-stop space battle action, with constant dodging and weaving as you simultaneously try to survive and go on the attack!
Skills / strategy required for this retro space fighter arcade game: Fast reactions, good hand-eye coordination skills, sharp focus and concentration, and nimble reflexes are vitally important as you attempt to keep your spaceship out of harm's way while eliminating enemies. You simply must stand tall, play it tough, and take on all enemies!
Frantic is a really intense, fast-paced, 2D space invader, vertical scroller shooter game! You play the role of a single spaceship up against hundreds of enemy fighters in each level. You must take on these buzzing enemies, and defeat a gigantic alien Boss character in order to complete each high-energy battle. If ever a Flash game lived up to its name – Frantic is one of the best examples!
Skills required for this frantic arcade game: Fast reactions and sharp hand-eye coordination and observation skills are essential as you dodge and weave around enemies and their missiles. Timing is also very important - You must tactfully move your spaceship into advantageous positions, especially when your come up against the Big Boss entities at the end of each level.
X-Cav 8R Alpha is a blistering, high-octane, vertical scrolling shooter / space invaders-style arcade game where you must pilot a small spaceship through a treacherous battlefield filled with fast approaching meteoroids, missile firing alien spacecraft, and more. This quick-paced game of skill and timing is very much a test of your survival instinct and ability; can you dodge and weave skillfully enough to keep your spaceship intact, and eliminate enough enemies to score highly?
Strategy / skills required for this retro alien invaders game: Like all good throwbacks to the classic 1980s space invaders genre, this fun online game requires good observation and anticipation skills, really fast reactions, deft movement and timing, dogged determination, and more. You need the desire and the stamina for a long flight – providing you have the piloting skills to survive deep into later levels.
A straight-forward, survival skiing & skill-based arcade game to test your reactions and timing, keyboard control, object-dodging skills and sheer determination as you career down a snowy mountain slope at speed! In Slope Dude, you must score as many points as possible by successfully avoiding trees and gateways as you swoop down a steep mountainous obstacle course.
Skills required in this endless running-style game: Sharp observation and anticipation skills, and smart reflexes are really important here as you work hard to guide your skier safely through the path of oncoming trees and red walls. Careful, skillful and methodical dodging and weaving around obstacles is the key to your success. Trial and error is also a required part of the fun; you won't get near an awesome score on your first attempt, so you need to build up your confidence and skill as you progress!
Cosmic Rocks is an aiming and accuracy-based, match 3 or more bubble shooter game for kids where you must fire colored meteoroid rocks into a cluttered game grid of descending meteoroids, and create matching groups to eliminate. You have 3 minutes to create and eliminate as many matching groups as you can from the play area.
Reasons to play this classic bubble shooter-style game: Test and exercise your observation and concentration skills, hand-eye coordination and mouse control as you attempt to accurately fire the colored meteoroid rocks into the main grid area.
Strategy to win: Playing against the clock, you cannot afford to take too much time on each shot. Aim and fire as soon as the meteoroid is loaded into your shooting cannon. Try to think one or two shots ahead in order to plan out your subsequent matching opportunities.
Nostalgic PC games fans - Strap yourself in for some retro, 80s space invaders shooting action! Mars Cowboys is an addicting, old school, space invaders-style arcade game where you embark on a solo mission to destroy alien spaceships on the planet Mars. Featuring classic, top-to-bottom scrolling and arrow key shooting game play, you must pilot a nimble spacecraft through an onslaught of enemy forces. However, you have absolutely no room for error – one hit from an enemy missile or aircraft, and your mission is toast!
Reasons to play this space shooter game: Travel back in time to the 1980s and 90s when PC games had more straight-forward game play yet still offered a challenging test of your hand-eye coordination, reaction speed, concentration skills, and good old determination.
Strategy to win: Remember, one mistake and it's back to the start! This means that you must be fully concentrated at all times. You don't have to eliminate every single enemy spaceship that enters the game screen – Pick your battles wisely, and try not to get overwhelmed by the invading numbers. Staying still is also a big mistake – So, try to be constantly on the move, dodging and weaving around the play area.
Bowser Ball is a fun and fast-paced, 1 and 2 player, keyboard reactions-based survival game for kids, teens and light-hearted fun-loving grownups where you must dodge and weave around a confined game zone, and avoid cannonballs being fired from all angles. Playing as Super Mario Bros characters (or Mario and Luigi in 2 player mode), you must try to survive for as long as possible by using expert ball-dodging skills and nifty key control.
Reasons to play this high-energy arcade game: Bowser Ball really is like playing dodgeball on a whole new level. Stimulate and exercise your fast reflexes, concentration and observation skills, and dogged determination as you attempt to avoid the dozens of cannonball missiles fired at your Super Mario Bros character. Work as a team in the fun 2 Player mode – Support each other in your mad survival dash! Unleash your competitive side as you work to increase your top score with each survival run.
Strategy to win: Once the balls start flying, the action is non-stop! This means that you must be 100% concentrated at all times if you want to earn a respectable score. Standing still is not an option! You must be focused with a real sense of urgency. Good hand-eye coordination is essential here; the ball-firing Bowsers always adjust to your position, so you must remain constantly on the move!
Play a classic, high-energy, Pacman-style skill game with a Sonic The Hedgehog theme! Sonic Collect Rings is a straight-forward, fun, online maze arcade game where you must guide Sonic around a confined game grid on a mission to collect all of the gold rings while avoiding contact with pesky, colorful ghosts.
Reasons to play this challenging, reactions-based Pacman game: Nostalgic fans of classic Pacman and Ms. Pacman games should enjoy the very familiar 1980s game play, while newcomers to the genre should enjoy the simple concept and high-pressure environment. Pacman games have always been highly-stimulating, requiring sharp reaction speed and observation skills, and good hand-eye coordination.
Strategy to win: The best way to stack the odds in your favor is to collect blue gems, and turn the tables on the ghosts (When a blue gem bonus is in effect, you can hunt and temporarily eliminate ghosts, rather than the other way around!). Try to time your movements carefully and tactfully – Use the doorways on the outside of the grid to your advantage.
Play a hard, interactive, visual brain teaser puzzle, and exercise your analytical thinking skills, problem solving determination, and more! Exorbis 2 is a highly-stimulating, sliding tile-based, puzzle game for older kids, teens, college students and adults with a massive 100 levels. Here, you must use good spatial awareness skills, strategy and creative engineering ability to slide orbs onto color-coordinated 'nodes' in as few moves as possible. And, if all of that isn't sufficiently challenging, there's even a cool 'editor' mode where you can create your own levels!
Reasons to play this tough, online problem-solving game: Exorbis 2 provides a stern exercise and test of your cognitive and analytical thinking skills. The difficulty level increases sharply as you progress, making this a very rewarding examination of your puzzle busting credentials!
Your concentration and stamina levels must be sharp, and the willingness for trial and error is very important. Mostly there is only one solution to a level, so you need to learn from your mistakes, and exhaust all possibilities.

The best are the church cook books, and we have representation of churches from around the country, including Cook County. They are a mix of history, tid bits of news, corrections, and special recipes handwritten in the margins. Then there are the "specialty" cook books; cookies, bread, more cookies, holiday cooking, diet, non-diet, and road-kill. There are recipe books for novice, experienced and children and then, of course there are the usual Betty Crocker, Emeril, etc. books designed for learning how to cook.
BIOGRAPHIES and AUTOBIOGRAPHIES...everyone from Lawrence Welk to Sarah Palin. (no kidding)...
HOW to BOOKs... need to build a deck, learn to sail, design a house, paint an oyster shell? How about crochet, or how to play croquet (you figure out the difference). You can learn how to tame a horse, detick a dog, neuter a hedgehog (well maybe not that)..plumb a sink, unclog a drain.... whatever you need, it is here!
FICTION.. sappy love stories where you know on the first page who Mr. Hunk really is... mysteries. who done it... spy novels... espionage... humor (think Garrison Keillor).
NON-FICTION historical, political, spiritual, adventure
and of course
SELF-HELP we have those on the top shelf so that you have to ask for help to get them down.

Man killed on Duncan Lake is brother of Minnesota CongressmanMon, 06/20/2016 - 2:01pm
On Sunday night, June 19, a number of intense storms moved through northeastern Minnesota. According to Cook County Sheriff Pat Eliasen, one person died and another was critically injured on Duncan Lake during Sunday night's storm. Duncan Lake is a popular lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness located near West Bearskin Lake.
Four males were camping on the lake — two 43-year-old men and juveniles ages 14 and 11. Craig Anthony Walz, 43, of Rochester, was killed during the incident. One of the juvenile males was injured when a mature white pine snapped due to high winds in the storm. The body of Walz was recovered early Monday morning and transported to North Shore Health in Grand Marias for coroner review.
Craig Walz, who was killed on Duncan Lake in last night's storm, is the brother of Minnesota Congressman Tim Walz. Craig Walz was a high school chemistry, calculus and geometry teacher at St. Charles High School located in southeastern Minnesota.
During a separate incident during Sunday night's storm, another male camper in the BWCAW was injured on Clove Lake when a tree feel on his campsite. The male was evacuated from Clove Lake and transported to the Cook County Northshore Hospital by ambulance. Clove Lake is located near the Granite River and Gunflint Lake.
Rochester man killed in June 19 stormMon, 06/20/2016 - 1:21pm
A brief, but severe storm passed though Cook County on Sunday, June 19, leaving downed trees and power lines in its wake. The storm also resulted in a fatality and injuries to campers at two different Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) sites.
Cook County Law Enforcement received back-to-back emergency calls. The first at 10:24 p.m. reported that a tree had fallen on a man camping on Clove Lake, injuring his "upper body." A medical helicopter was requested and plans were made for it to land at the Seagull Guard Station to meet emergency responders who would bring the man out of the wilderness.
The U.S. Forest Service, Gunflint Ambulance, Gunflint Fire Department and First Responders and Gunflint Search and Rescue responded and as they got under way, another call came in to Cook County Law Enforcement, reporting that help was needed at Duncan Lake. At 10:25, the reporting party said there was a deceased person and a severely injured person on the northwest side of Duncan Lake.
The medical helicopter was diverted from landing at the Seagull Guard Station to respond to this incident. The injured party from Clove Lake was taken by Gunflint Ambulance to North Shore Health.
Cook County Ambulance and Cook County Search and Rescue were paged to assist with the second call.
Responders learned that four people were at the campsite, two adult males and two juvenile males, when the storm's high winds snapped a mature white pine off at the trunk, killing Craig Anthony Walz, 43, of Rochester, Minnesota.
The tree also struck and injured one of the juvenile males. Camp Menogyn and the uninjured campers assisted in transporting the juvenile out of the wilderness to the Cook County Ambulance.
The patient was transported to North Shore Health and then flown by medical helicopter to a Duluth hospital.

Excellent service, this worked great I thought it would take a long time. I am very impressed at how quickly the details arrived.

Brighton Pride email suggests fire service concerns
Post your comment

Blimey … wonder how that managed to just 'slip' out … accidentally of course, I'm sure
Let me guess… The solution will be a commercial high cost ticket-entry Pride modelled on Manchester? In Manchester it was the police and city council who managed to swing that due to the usual 'health and safety concerns' in 2002.
I guess this means although there may be financial problems as far as numbers go this means Prides around the country are a victim of there own success.
I will be interesting to see if the Pope attracts such problems being that we seem to attract those religious nutters here who insist on telling us religious numbers are increasing and not decreasing. Adding the fact that a number of Pope events have been cancelled due to poor to no people wanting to go.
The fact that the numbers at Pride event in recent years has been questioned on Health & Safety groups suggests to those very nutters that people in this country are far more open minded than those within religious wish to acknowledge. I bet instead they will continue to lie just to cover up their very dwiddling truths.
Will they ticket the bloody thing. It is a mess. Too big, too pikey.
I live in Brighton and will avoid the thing in future. Terrible.
The trouible is the council will only Support it (money wise) if it stays a free event to bring money into the city

Exclusive! See The Dreamy Film We're Escaping With Tonight
It takes a lot to get us out of the house on a cold, snowy day like this. Luckily, Samantha Pleet's new campaign film, Visions, is worth braving the bluster. The dreamy, hypnotic short film, directed by Sarah Sophie Flicker and Maximilla Lukacs, follows two women as they leave the safety and comfort of their bedrooms, and journey into the snowy tundra beyond — sound like any trips to the bodega you've made today?
Of course, Pleet's film also features bow-and-arrow-wielding heroines, naps on snowy coastlines, and cloud-dwelling goddesses — so it basically puts our prosaic snack adventures to shame. The film stars some of our most-loved ladies, like Louisa Gummer (Meryl Streep's daughter!), Hannah Metz, the ginger-haired beauty behind lingerie brand The Loved One, the striking Brooklyn-based photographer Tara Violet Niami, India Menuez, and the throaty-voiced Tennessee Thomas as narrator. Keep an eye out for a cameo by director Flicker — and for the Pleet's beautiful fall '14 collection, which appears throughout. From lovely pinafores, to exquisitely printed dresses, there are pieces we can imagine wearing even when we're not completing dream quests.
If you're in New York, you can catch the film premiere tonight at 7 p.m., at the Wolverine Company Store in SoHo — yes, it is still happening, despite the snow (if the film's heroines can do it, so can you). For everyone else, catch the exclusive premiere above. It makes us feel all cozy and transported...so, in other words, it's exactly what we needed today.

Greens call for permanent disaster fundBy chief political correspondent Simon Cullen, Tuesday January 29, 2013 - 16:24 EDT
Greens leader Christine Milne is urging the Government to establish a permanent disaster recovery fund, arguing that extreme weather events will become more frequent because of climate change.
Recent bushfires across several states and severe flooding in Queensland and New South Wales have caused extensive damage to homes and buildings as well as road infrastructure.
Treasurer Wayne Swan says it is too early to calculate the cost of dealing with the latest natural disasters because authorities are still dealing with the emergency situation facing several communities.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman yesterday suggested a flood levy, similar to the one introduced after the 2011 floods, may need to be considered.
But Senator Milne is pushing for a more long-term solution.
"In a world that is increasingly warming, we are going to see more extreme events and that means we can't keep suggesting that this is a one-off response that is needed every time," she told reporters in Canberra.
"What we need is not another one-off flood levy this year, but what we do need is a permanent fund established in Australia to assist communities to deal with the consequences of loss of infrastructure."
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says the Coalition's "instincts" towards a flood levy are the same as they were in 2011, when it fought against the one-off charge.
"I would make the general point that Australia is a land of droughts and flooding rains, and the ordinary business of government should include being able to cope with the sorts of natural disasters which we regularly experience in this country," he told reporters in Melbourne.
The Federal Government has deployed defence personnel, helicopters and cargo planes to flood affected areas in Queensland to help with the crisis.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has promised they will remain available as long as they are needed.
Disaster recovery payments are also available to people living in dozens of council areas, which includes immediate cash assistance and funding for household items.
When asked yesterday whether the Commonwealth may need to reintroduce the flood levy, Mr Swan said it was "far too early" to be talking about the issue.
"We're in the emergency phase right now where we have to absolutely concentrate on saving lives and on saving property," he said.
"We have processes which we will put in place which will deal with the recovery phase.
"I could talk a lot if you like about the impact of extreme weather events, how they've become more frequent and what that may mean for the future of public policy, but today or tomorrow isn't the time for that discussion."

If you are trying to say somehow that his comment was in some way offensive to her, you have no idea what you are talking about. First off in the Middle East even today, they refer to Woman in this same manner... It his not at all offensive. And the fact that Mary told the servants to do whatever he tells you proves her faith.

Paul Kolnik, Associated Press
NEW YORK — For so many American kids, it's their first — and sometimes only — exposure to ballet: A holiday performance of "The Nutcracker," that classic tale of a little girl's dreamlike encounters with battling mice and toy soldiers, a dashing prince, a growing Christmas tree and a land of sweets.
There's one in virtually every town. But until now, if you lived in Anchorage or Omaha or Tulsa, you weren't able to see what many consider the Nutcracker gold standard: the late George Balanchine's classic production for New York City Ballet.
On Dec. 13, though, the company will beam a live "Nutcracker" performance in high-definition from Lincoln Center to some 560 movie theaters in all 50 states, followed the next night by a live broadcast on public television.
In taking its "Nutcracker" national, the company hopes to promote its brand, earn new revenue and join a growing trend of HD transmissions of live performance, pioneered by the Metropolitan Opera.
"There's nothing like the real thing," says an admittedly "totally biased" Peter Martins, the company's ballet master in chief. "Of course, the hope is that if this works — however you define success — it will become a new way to show the world what we do so well."
Martins — a former principal dancer with New York City Ballet under his legendary predecessor, Balanchine — grew up in Denmark and thus wasn't exposed to "The Nutcracker" until he came to New York as a young adult. But he's well aware of its crucial role as an introduction to ballet for generations of Americans — including virtually all his own dancers.
One of them is Ashley Bouder, who was 6 when she saw her first "Nutcracker" in Carlisle, Pa. — as it happened, she also performed in it as an angel. It launched a lifetime of dancing, and Bouder, who turns 28 on Saturday, is now an NYCB principal, known for her fearless, attacking style in jumps and turns.
"I do think this particular 'Nutcracker' is really special," said Bouder, who will dance the brief but demanding role of Dewdrop in both the live performances. "Balanchine's choreography is so wonderful, for children as well as adults."
Indeed, the choreographer is known to have been particularly masterful with children — as in the scene where eight rosy-cheeked kids suddenly emerge from Mother Ginger's 9-foot-wide skirt to perform an intricate yet buoyant dance.
Growing up in Spain, Joaquin De Luz never got to see a live "Nutcracker" as a child. The first "Nutcracker" he saw was Balanchine's — on DVD, the 1993 version put out by New York City Ballet with the young Macaulay Culkin as the prince.
"It's just magical," said De Luz, who'll play the main male role, the Cavalier, next week. "That growing tree in the first act just breaks your heart. This is the quintessential 'Nutcracker' — not too much of anything, not too little."
De Luz will be dancing with his frequent partner, Megan Fairchild, as the Sugarplum Fairy. It's better not to think too much about how many people will be watching, he said.
"This is a big deal," De Luz said. "I'm just hoping they won't do the close-ups when I'm wetting my lips or doing something else I shouldn't be doing."
That would be a minor mishap compared to last weekend, when Fairchild's costume suddenly got caught on De Luz's buttons during a lift. Such is the joy of live performing; he spent crucial seconds trying to yank the costumes apart before anyone got hurt.
"I finally ripped the whole thing," he said. "I'm glad it happened last Saturday. It's good to have an accident under your belt."
