Sweet. The city council race is full of belligerent alchis.
That settles it. Now I'm definitely voting for her.
uh oh
she must have been coming back from the SECB meeting.
Is there a secret bar for city council folks (and wannabes) that over serves that the regular public doesn't know about?
Maybe it's like Grenarnia, the country in Europe that only the rich people know about?
Hope she spends two nights in jail and is charged in court next week. Full Stranger coverage. Is she taking interviews? Think she was just celebrating the Stranger endorsement.
She needs rehab, obviously. We'll also want ECB to give her a call. Just the facts, Jack. Just the facts.
Huh. Pity she couldn't take some convenient form of mass transit home.
So, with Della, McIver, and Velazquez self-destructing, let's start a pool and choose the next council member/candidate to do something stupid.
I'm sure it was just racial profiling. I can already hear the excuses...
It will surely be Steinbrueck who is next
Bill: Yeah, minorities are always complaining about racial profiling when they get caught driving drunk. Why can't minorities be more like rich white men?
How stupid is that? "Hmm, the election's in just a few weeks. I think I'll get sauced then take a drive."
This wouldn't be a problem if every one of the candidates didn't insist on driving everywhere... all while alleging to understand the needs of public transit.
Oh, and while I'm surprised, I'm not REALLY surprised, if you get my drift.
seriously? you guys are backing this one. seriously?
fall from grace - and a drunk driver is a deadly weapon
shame on her and all others who still, after all the warnings and community anger, drive while drunk
should be some jail time here
It's a darn good thing she wasn't riding a bicycle without a helmet or there would be some serious outrage.
Didn't she learn anything from Paris Hilton?! Why do we even have Paris as a role model if nobody's going to pay attention?
Wait a minute - who tested the breathalyzer?
LOL. I love this snippet from the latest version of the Times article:
"I was not impaired, I had drinks at dinner as many of us do," Velázquez said. "I don't even have a speeding ticket."
Velázquez, 41, was cited for speeding in Seattle in 1995, according to Seattle Municipal Court records.
"Well that was a long time ago," she said.
Will she dig herself in further?
Whoops - that last line shouldn't have been blockquoted.
Oh, poor, poor self-righteous Venus. Honestly, the woman is so tiny that it would only take 1/2 a glass of vino to put her over the limit. But, get this, she was driving her campaign staffer? Does that mean the campaign staffer was MORE drunk than Venus?
Lights out, chica. Take Forward Seattle and their filthy money with you.
Also, the Harrell/Venus race is one where the top two primary completely failed us.
@23 why not stan lippman while we are at it
@16 - Have you ever made an honest mistake? An honest mistake that might have been potentially harmful to yourself or someone else? No? Well, you must be Jesus fuckin' Christ then. Lay off and wait for more of the facts, 'tard.
She's got my vote!
Hot, spicy, mom who likes to have a drink with a meal after a Dem panel on city council contenders in Ballard!
P.S.: Email me if you're headed to Santa Barbara, Venus, we'll invite you to the Luna and Fretz holiday celebrations!
Must have been a late dinner for Venus last night...
She was at a Candidates' Forum at the Sunset Hill Community Club in Ballard until around 8. And no, no alcohol was served there.
My point aside, Harrell practically doesn't need to life a finger between now and election day. That seat's as good as his.
:( but a benign rich man whose vote has been bought is probably the best of the two crappy options at this point.
I just found out Gomez is a member of the cult of Al Runte. HAHAHAHA!
I thought Gomez might be a dolt, but I took him seriously most of the time anyway. Now I have confirmation that he is nuts!
In England your not drunk until your unconscious. She was just merry, that's all.
Al Runte has endorsed Bruce Harrell.
Forward Seattle has just wasted $100k on her.
No way will she win now.
Glad we see the real Venus now.
Hernandez- with all that anger, you have *got* to be a Velazquez campaign worker, yes? Or just a chronic DUIer?
DUI kills almost 17,000 people per year, more than ten times as many as die in Iraq over the same time.
Word is the dear lady blew a 1.1
Seriously---driving drunk is one thing: DUMB. If she can't responsibly make that decision, she isn't adult enough to hold a position of responsibility.
Am I the only one who read On the Rocks, paused, and said "So what the fuck was the point of that?"
No? Everyone else thought it was quality journalism? All right. My bad.
Bis Sven, I assume you are only counting the Americans who die Iraq each year, no?
I certainly agree that DUI is a huge problem, but no need to erase the status of actual Iraqis as people in order to show it.
34, not only is it dumb at any time, but especially dumb to do it last night, the same day absentee ballots were mailed out. If you fill out your ballot today, do you vote for someone with such poor judgment and timing? I was voting for her, but I don't trust her now.
Perhaps Venus has the same self-destruction gene as Gary Hart and Charles Foster Kane.
DUI laws are crafted by the worst lobby ever, MADD, they will only be happy when booze is illegal. first link I found on the subject That being said? Throw the book at her, interlock, jail time all of it. It isn't until everyone has to deal with less than ideal laws that will change occur.
Seriously the legal limit is so low, if you have ever driven after two drinks you are a potential felon.
Stranger needs to re do the endorsement - people will not vote for a drunk driver.
Were there any hints of an alcholic at the interviews?
Dan, is this a drinking buddy?
Venus = toast. I feel no sorrow, she seemed flakey to me from the beginning.
@34- get your facts- or at least your decimal points- right before you go off on people. She blew a .11, NOT a 1.1
@29: Um, I don't think he was being serious, and after proving yourself too dense for sarcasm, I don't think anyone will take you seriously now.
Venus Quote #1 (in the Seattle Times): "It's a bad judgment call. It doesn't negate what I've been running on for nine months."
My response: Uhh, I'm no campaign operative, but I assume you've been running as a candidate who has "good judgment". As a parent and a citizen, I will state that you do NOT have good judgment.
Venus Quote #2 (paraphrase from minority forum): "Do the candidates on stage look like you? If yes, then vote for them."
Well, I am a person of color and I typically look for good judgment in candidates I support. I do not like race baiting and I certainly don't look like an agressive and difficult drunk who like to her herself talk.
Venus has lost my vote.
if she loses, every time she is faced with the choice of drinking she will have that pang of regret about last night
and for the rest of her life
It seems pretty easy to go over the legal limit if you drink at all. However, two drinks in the course of a leisurely dinner is not likley to get someone over the limit so I wonder about that claim. With that said everyone is different: body weight, metabolism and food all play a factor in BAL.
The dumb thing for Venus is that running for office she should have been 100% careful about this. I think her hope at a council seat are now over.
What we thought we all knew about City Hall in 2008 has certainly shifter quickly. Two weeks ago I thought Richard McIver would be elected president of the Council in 08 and Venus would join the City Council. Now neither of those scenarios seem likely.
Is it too late to ask Councilmember Steinbrueck to stay?
Latest details say she was driving 50mph and crossing double yellow center lines. And she refused a breath test at the station. Yeah, sure you only had 2 drinks.
this just in: Jean Godden arrested at Cowgirls for gross indecencies with a mechanical bull...more to come!!
kidding...of course...
this just in: Jean Godden arrested at Cowgirls for gross indecencies with a mechanical bull...more to come!!
kidding...of course...
What are these fucking newbies thinking? Don't they understand politics?
Pooor Pooor Venus. She expects us to feel sorry for her?
No way lady--there is no excuse for this behavior. You need to stop spending money on your campaign now because you're throwing money down the drain.
I'm just glad we found about about your lack of judgement now.
From the PI Story:
"We made the decision that I was not impaired," Velazquez said. "I was more concerned that she was impaired. (We) did not want her driving."
How many times have you seen people have that "Gimme your keys, I'm less drunk than you are" conversation.
@47 The only difference between VV and your standard-issue Seattleite looking for a parking spot is 45mph,
I find it hard to believe she is getting so attacked here. She wasn't killing babies, she drove after a reported two glasses of wine with dinner. I'll give her, or Harrell for that matter, the benefit of the doubt on this. She's not the first person to be accused of a DUI, which she hasn't been found guilty on btw, and she won't be the last. While people definitely shouldn't drive drunk, it doesn't seem like this is a habit for Venus, and looks to be her first time. This should blow over, whether it is her or Harrell.
This is also a casting the first stone sort of thing - any of you ever drive after two drinks in an hour? If you did, you were probably legally drunk and could have gotten a DUI.
The issues on council are bigger than this charge. Venus will be a good progressive council person. I'm sure all the conservative Dems in Seattle are excited their man Harrell might get his campaign on track because of this, because him getting traction with it is the only way he's going to win.
What ever happened to presumed innocence, folks? Geesh.
And, FYI, there was no breathalyzer, which means no one knows what her BAC was.
See the police report link below and you'll see she also did not have her drivers license with her.
No way would I ever vote for her. She does not deserve to even be a candidate. Too bad for all those people who supported her.
Look on the bright side - in this race, we have the alternative of voting for Bruce Harrell. I'd rather he have some more concrete proposals, but he does have a solid resume, so there's hope he will do well in the job.
If I lived in King County Council District 6, my non-DUI choice would be Richard Pope. He doesn't have Harrell's resume, although Pope would probably be a more entertaining councilmember. Of course, at least Hague has the good (?) judgment to know the higher ups at the King County Prosecutor's Office and keep things quiet until the Primary election day.
Instead of the Green or Libertarian Parties, perhaps the most likely third party with a chance of success is the DUI Party.
Strangeways @48/49:
I really DIDN'T need to have that image put into my head!
Get it out! GET IT OUT - NOW!
@54: No, she didn't kill babies. She just endangered them and their families and pets. I guess I'm just splitting hairs, though.
41. is astute.
29. is not.
Yeah, not a ringing endorsement... just frustrated with the end result: a choice between two bad but well-connected candidates, one of which has no problem going out for a spin after getting liquored up.
Also, Meinert, for shame that you condone drunk driving in any way, especially given Seattle's multiple transport alternatives to driving (not including the more personal option of 'having a sober friend, family member or colleague drive you home').
@59 - so you've NEVER driven after two drinks in an hour? If you have and you're casting stones you're a hypocrite. You're also assuming she's guilty, which isn't the case yet. This really doesn't seem to be that big a deal. Might become one, but I bet Venus handles it properly and comes out of it to regain the momentum she had yesterday.
55. The following information, from that link, isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for acquittal. Bolding is my own:
A Seattle police officer pulled Velázquez over at 11:30 p.m., police said, for speeding and failing to keep her car in the lane.
According to the police report, Velazquez's car was caught on radar going 50 mph in a 30 mph zone on Northwest Market Street. An officer saw her car cross the center yellow line, then drift side to side in her lane. When the officer stopped the car, he noticed alcohol on Velázquez's breath. She did not have her driver's license with her, but the officer verified she was licensed to drive.
When the officer returned to Velazquez's car, he noticed a "strong minty smell" on her breath, which made him suspect she was trying to cover up the smell of alcohol. He gave her a field sobriety test, then arrested her and took her to the West Precinct. The police cited her for DUI and two traffic violations. She refused to take a breath test.
Yeah, going 50 in a 30 and failing to stay in your lane... but we should totally wait until we have all the facts before judging her. Right.
How fucking dumb.
Asshole dumb
Jesus H Christ,
how fucking DUMB
concur, Venus = burnt toast
Good thing hubby has bucks.
I hope she does not not go on TV crying.
Over, so very over. Venus, bye bye.
And I hear, Bruce Harrell is having some drinks right now, WILL not drive.
"but we should totally wait until we have all the facts before judging her. Right."
That's just not how Gomez rolls...
@55 She blew a .11 according to inside police 'reports'
Meinert: Doesn't matter if you had half a drink or 40 drinks. Whatever gets you over the legal limit means you broke the law. Some of us understand that and no problem complying. 0 sympathy for you or Venus
Why would one drive a car without bringing a driver's license along? Why would one be exceeding the posted speed limit in an urban area by at least 50%?
That's it.
I'm writing in Stan Lippman.
Or Richard Lee.
No, really! It's called common fucking sense and it costs $1.25 (and you get a free transfer).
@55 -- it also means she will likely lose her license for a year under the DoL's administrative authority. It's automatic suspension if you refuse the BAC (hence the Implied Consent warning). She'll get a hearing, but she won't win.
BTW, you *can* refuse the field sobreity tests without penalty, but it will usually result in getting hauled in and booked (as in held in jail overnight).
And oh yeah, there's also no need necessarily for a BAC test in a successful prosecution. It routinely gets kicked for one reason or the other. The only real factual issue under the statute is impairment. That can be established by the actions of the driver as observed by the officer. Unfortunately for Venus, the cop who popped her is on the DUI Emphasis team which gives his testimony substantially more credibility.
Maybe Harrell will shiv someone before the election.
I was on a jury for a DUI that hadn't taken the test who was eventually convicted but it was close - the cop had done the field test and found a near empty 40 oz. malt liquor - and had the attorney asked the cop how often he had made someone take the BT based on the field test and they passed the BT he probably would have walked.
@66 what are these "inside police reports"? she takes a breathalyzer test for the "insiders" but refuses one for the record? so she can get her license automatically suspended for a year? huh??
You don't have to be over the legal limit (0.08) to be charged with impaired driving. If the cop thinks you are impaired, or smells alcohol, that's enough to make things miserable for you.
That's why I'm against checkpoints. But Ms. V was speeding and weaving. Drunk or not, you deserve to get stopped for that. Sucks for her.
You know, back in the day when I lived in Ballard, this was pretty typical driving.
I seem to recall we left our seatbelts dragging on the pavement too.
Good thing they didn't check her for too much Lutefisk.
@61 -
I've never gotten behind the wheel after having even one drink within two or three hours. However, having said that, doing so would not preclude me from criticizing others for doing the same. Do you honestly believe that if I'd driven while slightly tipsy, even once, that it would be wrong of me to point out the error in doing so? Do you believe that making a stupid mistake should bar me from trying to hold others accountable for making the same stupid mistake? Given that drunk driving is deadly not only for the person who is stupid enough to be doing it, but potentially for anybody who happens to be in the vicinity, I think it's pretty goddamn rich that you're automatically decrying the critics as being hypocrites, while ignoring the magnitude of driving while intoxicated. Fuck off.

Nightlife bash!
Tuesday, October 30, 2007
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Music and nightlife fans are throwing a party for Venus. This is one you don't want to miss.
Spitfire in Belltown (2219 Fourth Avenue)
I think THAT one will be rescheduled.
I don't get it. Drag queens are usually drunk, but most of them don't have cars....
If this means she's out - good. I like her politics but fricking hate the way she plays the mom card in her campaign ("I would be the only councilmember with school-age children blah blah"). I hate when people make their kids into political propaganda, as if just having children was somehow a qualification for office. It's the same reason I can't stand candidates parading their spouse, their dog, their photo-op with a hospitalized baby, their religion, etc. It dumbs down the electoral process even more than it has been already. We should be talking about the issues, not implying that we should vote for someone because she's a mother. I was prepared not to vote for her just for that reason. But now I have another reason not to vote for her.
Apparently, orange jumpsuits are the new black at City Hall.
#54 - Meinert - some practical advice
It is unseemly for you to play ordinary political hack and schill.
Her political career is dead.
I thought you were smarter than your post.
She will be lucky to avoid jail time.
The VOTING public will have no sympathy on this issue. Not to her.
Over for Venus, your loyalty is mis placed completely.
Any public leader who tries to play apologist for drunk drivers is dumb and dumber. Don't.
Dave Meinert's opinion doesn't count anyway because he's got blinders on about Venus and is one of her best friends.
He Dave--we're sick of you masquerading as an objective person when your're carrying her water.
Buddy, this time you need to just back away because she's toast and she needs to roast FOR DRIVING WHILE DRUNK!
Come-0n Bruce--WIN THIS RACE!
What I learned in my OP treatment for my 2 drinks with dinner was that on average DDs have driven ~400 times impaired before being caught. Of course its a bell curve and she could be one of the few who have not, it is unlikely. If this is a rare event she can't go for deferred prosecution and will be charged with Driving Impaired. She'll get the same punishment as others if found guilty ranging from probation and counseling to a blow box installed in her car. If she admits she has a problem with drugs and alcohol she could ask for and probably get deferred prosecution. If only she had taken the breath test. Then we could hasve been better informed. As we see it now, she is hiding something.
Let's see, Venus has a Masters in Social Work --- yet not licensed in the area. Bruce Harrell is an attorney and licensed to practice law. Looks like he finishes what he starts. Think with her background, she can lie her way through a drug and alcohol test rather well. Her husband is an attorney ... she may get off but I hope Seattle does not forget the lies that she spewed while attemptin to 'serve' in this highly paid position.
I know this is awful, but I'm so tired of Seattle hippies, I was actually considering not voting for her because of her loopy name.
But since I've driven drunk -- one-eyed, praying to god on I-5 drunk -- I'm not going to slam her for this.
And spare me the flames for my driving...I don't do it anymore and I know it was wrong.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 1994
Running Time:
Company: Heatwave Entertainment
Cast: Velvet Blue, Chante, Dick Nasty, Barbara Doll, Stephanie DuValle, Sidney (I), Rick Masters, Ron Jeremy, Jiff Coldwater, Satin Sheets
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: All-Sex
Well, aside from the fact that this feature wasn't shot on the French Riviera, that there's no story, and that different guys play the "D.P. Boys" in each scene — this tape still has little to offer.
Okay; so Barbara Doll and Chanté still have French accents (though Chanté's is fading fast) — but Stephanie DuValle, despite the name, I think still hails from south Florida — but why be nit-picky?
At least, there is the requisite d.p. action — and with a much better selection of women than most previous tapes in this series. Jeff Coldwater and Ron Jeremy manage to penetrate both sides of the luscious Barbara Doll (who really deserves better than these two guys), while Dick Nasty and Rick Masters have their way with Chanté. Both couplings are much too much by the numbers to generate the requisite heat. There's also a boring, superfluous girl/girl/girl scene with Stephanie DuValle and new faces Satin Sheets and Velvet Blue, plus the closing d.p. with a girl you haven't seen before named Sidney.
The bottom line is, while this episode has prettier girls than usual, if it's d.p. you're after, several other series have done it better — but for those who can't get enough of Barbara Doll, this tape should be added to the collection — and retailers should play up Barbara's appearance for maximum sales effect.

Lady 'Dawgs outlast Ripley
Number one's faced off Tuesday night with New Albany fighting off a late rally to defeat Ripley, 62-54.
Up by 16 at the half, the top team in 4A watched as Jayla Chillis led the 3A top ranked Lady Tigers on a 14-2 run and were only down by one, 48-47. Regaining their focus, New Albany turned to free throws to close out the win.
"We had a great first half, up 16, on the road and then we got complacent in the second half and started standing around," NAHS coach John Stroud said. "They had a run and got back in the game, and they have a good team. I expected it to be like that the entire game, but we stopped them in the first half."
New Albany built a 20-7 lead, highlighted by Jazmine Spears' 10 first quarter points. Holding the lead throughout, the Lady 'Dawgs outscored Ripley 17-14 in the second quarter. Chillis was scoreless in the first half, but scored 12 second half points to lead the Lady Tigers back into the game.
"Good teams have runs, but we were able to regain our composure and finished them off," Stroud said. "Our weakness is that we're complacent, we've won so much that when we get ahead we start taking time off and we let people hang around."
Micha Washington finished with 13 points, and for Ripley, Becca Ruckes led with 13 and Shunquest Howell added 10 points.
New Albany 88 Ripley 76 (boys)
Acie Vance scored 47 points, but that was not enough for Ripley, as the Bulldogs earned the road win.
Vance tied the game early on at 13 and would score all of the Tigers first quarter points with New Albany leading by only two, 20-18.
In his first game this season, Kareem Brown scored 17 points off the bench for New Albany, 10 in the second quarter with the Bulldogs leading 46-38 at the half.
Vance gave Ripley their first lead of the game in the third, but the Bulldogs went on a 15-2 run to close out the third and eventually take the win.
Tadarious Coburn led New Albany with 22 points, followed by Eric Chaney with 12 points and Javonte Newsome with 11 points.
NAHS finishes a tough road stretch, as four of their first five games have been away from Memorial Gym. They will return home to face Newton and Briarcrest this weekend.

Vail Valley

http://www.vail.com 970-SKI-VAIL
Vail is basically one stop shopping for all of your ski needs. In that way it's kind of like the Wal-Mart of skiing. But it's not cheap, so it's also kinda not like Wal-Mart. I cannot not recommend Vail, its fun. But at the same time it can be a little much for most and a little flat for experts.
You won't ski every run; I don't care if you spend 20 years there. The gondola experience is a little bit of a cattle shoot experience, but Vail isn't really alone in that. Parking is plentiful, but confusing because you might not know exactly which of the 3 freeway exits to use to get on the mountain.
After parking and waiting in line to buy your lift ticket or to board the gondola or lift and then a ride somewhere on the mountain and then another ride somewhere else, you'll probably be ready to ski. There is the option of paying a great deal to stay on the mountain.
The back bowls are awesome. The bowls aren't terribly steep, but they are still fun. They'll get skied out pretty quickly on a powder day, especially if you are fighting Denver weekenders, so move fast. Blue Sky Basin is spectacular, but it takes some work getting there.
Overall, Vail is a great resort, but certainly not one of Colorado's top ski mountains.

I was asked to run a heavy update after DB conversion, for a given list of Orders ID's ,
I need to go over the list and handle each ID.
For example:
--Customer Table:
create table CustOrders ( ID int , CustFName varchar(10), CustLname varchar(10), Primary key(ID) )
For each id in the list, a stored procedure will update the record.
My first thought was to:
Create stored procedure which accepts list of id's (with table value parameter) .
For each id , do my stuff
But then I've realized it will take too much time and there for I came up with an idea
And try and run in a parallel mode, for example:
Try to run several stored procedure where each stored procedure handles different bulk of ID's ,
Divided by Mod operator for example .
This is the reason I have decided to publish the question, maybe you have a better idea how to write procedure which can run in parallel mode.

New Terminator franchise will be stand alone trilogy, hitting screens June 2015
We've been kind of in the dark when it comes to the next TERMINATOR film. We know that Arnold Schwarzenegger is on, and there was rumor that the movie would be a prequel. The story was said to focus on the parents of Sarah Connor to prevent her from even making it to this world and that maybe Schwarzenegger would be the human protector of the family. Now with this recent press release-- let's say things will be a little different.
The press release below reveals that the TERMINATOR trilogy franchise will not only stand-alone but is a reboot of the material. So we are separating ourselves from the mythology but rebooting it? But would it? Wasn't TERMINATOR SALVATION supposed to start something new? How can this involve Schwarzenegger?
They slapped a release date on the first film as well. Look out for it on June 26, 2015. They had to get that shit started ASAP since the rights to the material convert back to James Cameron in 2019. This ought to be interesting...
Check the press release below:
HOLLYWOOD, CA (June 27, 2013) � Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted �TERMINATOR� movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.

A spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday the German-born pope deserved "respect" and "gratitude" for his nearly eight years as pontiff after he announced he was to step down.
"The federal government has the greatest possible respect for the Holy Father, for his accomplishments, for his life-long work for the Catholic Church," said Steffen Seibert, adding the pontiff also deserved "gratitude".
"As a Christian and as a Catholic, one reacts with emotion and dismay," added Seibert in a regular government news conference.
He said Benedict XVI had left his "very personal mark" on the Church, "both as a thinker and a shepherd" to the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
"Whatever the reasons may be for this declaration, they should be honoured and respected and he deserves gratitude for leading this world church for eight years in such a way," concluded Seibert.
Merkel, herself the daughter of a pastor, would speak on the issue at 1330 GMT, her office announced.
Benedict, who earlier Monday announced his intention to resign this month, was born Joseph Ratzinger on April 16, 1927, in Marktl am Inn, in the predominantly Catholic southern German region of Bavaria.
He was ordained priest at the same time as his older brother Georg in 1951, and began teaching theology at Freising College in 1958.
Ratzinger went on from there to teach at several other German universities, notably in Bonn, Muenster and Regensburg.

His daughter said he had worked at the school for almost 20 years.
The janitor, 51-year-old Hernan Zapata, was arrested on Saturday afternoon at the unnamed Fort Greene middle school where he worked. He has been charged with rape, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, unlawful imprisonment, and assault for attacking 17-year-old former student in an office there. (The victim was reportedly at the school to meet someone else.) "[He worked there] close to 17, 18 years," said Zapata's daughter, who told the Daily News she believed her father was innocent. "Everyone knows him, go to the school, everyone will know him."

The Chinese government, in an unprecedented move, has ordered movie theaters to stop showing "The Da Vinci Code," movie industry officials said Thursday.
Chinese authorities said the withdrawal of the movie from theaters Friday was to make way for locally produced films, one industry executive said, declining to be named because she wasn't authorized to speak to the media on the matter.
But another Hollywood blockbuster, "Ice Age: The Meltdown," was to be released in China on Friday, said the executive, who added that "The Da Vinci Code" was the first foreign film to be pulled from theaters in China after being approved for release.
Some say the government yanked the film in response to complaints from Chinese Catholic groups, reports . Others contend the flick was too popular: It was poised to break records as the highest-earning foreign movie ever shown in China, putting domestic Chinese movies to shame.
"The Da Vinci Code," which has been opposed by Christian groups because it suggests Jesus fathered children who continued his lineage, has made $13 million since its release May 19.
Wu Hehu, a spokesman for Shanghai's United Cinema Line Corporation, said he received a notice to cease showing the film, but he didn't know why the order was made.
"This is such a short notice from the film's distributor. They will stop showing it from tomorrow," Wu said. "I don't know the reason either. We just do what we are told to do."
"Pearl Harbor," which made $13 million, has been the No. 2 foreign film in Chinese box office history, the industry executive said.
"Titanic" was first, fetching $45 million.

Great school; learn new things even in introductory classes. The majority of my engineering professors at NCSU have been top notch. They have helped me to go beyond the formulas and math by teaching the concepts related to the subject as well as problem solving skills.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 209 reviews for North Carolina State University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask North Carolina State University a question
NC State has such a beautiful campus in such a beautiful city. It's a big environment with a loving students and professors. Anyone would be lucky to attend!Read More
NC State has challenged me to grow personally and academically. Even though campus felt huge at first, it wasn't hard at all to learn my way around the place and find some great places to study. I love meeting new people in classes and getting to know professors.Read More
I took a class over the summer here and stayed on campus for a month and fell in love! The professors I met were very cool, and all the faculty really want to create opportunities for students. Also, everything about campus from activities to food were great :)Read More
The campus and the people look very nice. I can't wait for the first day of class. NC State is the best!!!????Read More
The campus is beautiful. Full of school Spirit! Go WolfpackRead More
I loved their campus and everything they had to offer but, I wish they had a dance program! Other than that minor set back, it was one of the best schools I have visited in North Carolina! Definitely a good school to check out.Read More
I love NC State! The campus is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the academics are amazing. What more could you want?Read More
A big school in a medium city with a small-community feel. With over 35,000 students and two huge campuses, you feel like you're part of one very extensive family. Everyone's part of the Wolf Pack!Read More
My father attended NC State as an engineering student. Growing up, I wanted to follow in his footsteps and always assumed I would go here. After moving to Florida, my plans changed and I never entertained the thought of going back to NC, especially for college. I applied for the heck of it my senior year and was extremely shocked to be deferred to a later decision as a legacy student, top 10 of my class, 5.06 GPA, AA degree upon graduation, and 1800 SAT. Later on, I was accepted. I went back to NC to visit family and thought we could just stop by the campus and see how it has changed. Seeing NC State as a senior in high school was so different from seeing it as a child. After touring the best schools in Florida, I wish I could go to THIS school. I loved the vibe, layout, and tradition on the campus. I felt like I was welcome. I had mostly committed to University of Florida, but after visiting NC State I tried everything in my power to get aid and make the out-of-state tuition affordable. I just didn't happen for me.Read More

—Cunningham21 stated that the growth of neoplasms of the bladder, either benign or malignant, although variable, may be quite rapid; he cited 2 highly malignant cases in which the neoplasms attained considerable size, one within nine weeks and the other within six months.In a consideration of whether misbehaved cells of the bladder which produce benign tumors may subsequently become malignantly active, Bumpus stated that this change was never observed at the Mayo Clinic, and both Cunningham and Bumpus believe that tumors of the bladder are either benign or malignant from their inception. The disagreement on this subject is substantiated by much evidence. Ewing stated that recurrence of benign tumor usually represents development of new growths from preexisting lesions and such recurrence is not an implantation of the old growth. Recurrent malignant tumors are more likely to be the result of retained cell groups in the submucosa.

Build a 4-in-1 car wiring diagnostic tool.
When you're working on your car's 12V wiring system, it helps to have a few special tools to get the job done. The Uber Tester is a 4-in-1 gadget that won't remove door panel clips but does test for most wiring conundrums you might encounter. Plus, with its dual notification (buzzer and light), you'll be able to use the tool when your stereo is blasting or when you're contorted under the dash.
This 9V-powered handheld device will test the following scenarios with just three wires:
1. DC polarity — positive or negative voltage
2. Speaker polarity — "pop test"
3. Connectivity — wire loop back
4. Presence of voltage — fuse tester, constant or ignition switched power Installing a 12V accessory or stereo properly — that is, with the correct speaker polarity, switched power source, and constant voltage for the clock and preset memory — requires a tester such as this. Tracing wires in today's vehicles is next to impossible with their nearly identical colors and tight wire looms. This gadget will help you find that needle in a haystack.
Start by drilling a hole for the lamp in the bottom of the gadget box (not on the removable lid) about a quarter of an inch down. Then drill a hole just large enough to let the three jumper wires pass through it. Strip ¾" of insulation off the lamp wires and insert the lamp into the hole you drilled for it.
Connect the 9V battery to the connector and touch the black and green alligator clips together— you should hear a tone and the light should illuminate. Connect the red wire to a positive 12V (or lower) source and the black to ground, and you should hear a tone and see the light illuminate. If so, your wiring is properly connected.

| ACADEMICS | Majors & Minors | Bioinformatics
The Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science departments offer this interdisciplinary concentration to prepare students to enter the computer-intensive fields of bioinformatics, computational biology, computational chemistry, and molecular modeling including genomics and proteomics. With the ever increasing number of fully sequenced genomes, including the human genome, databases such as GenBank and EMBL have grown at such a rate that storing, organizing, indexing, and ultimately mining the data have become key to answering biological questions. Questions of gene expression have led to computational biology, the process of analyzing genomic sequences and to the field of proteomics, the understanding of protein structure and function. The information obtained by computational biology and computational chemistry is used in the design of new drugs to treat a variety of diseases.

With Election Day nearing, President Obama and Mitt Romney spent Thursday trying to sway undecided voters in key swing states.
Mitt Romney spent his entire day focused on Virginia with stops in Roanoke, Doswell and Virginia Beach.
"Our chant is this: five more days!" he says.
But with so little time left before Tuesday's election, the campaign had been a tricky one in the wake of Sandy's wrath. Romney's stops in Virginia were to make up for ones cancelled to let local officials focus on preparing for the storm.
President Obama also had to cancel campaign events, but while many were still cleaning up from the storm, both men were back in campaign mode.
"You have full hearts and we can't lose. We need you, Virginia. We've got to take back America. I'm counting on you," says Romney.
Making the point he's the Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama wore his Air Force One bomber jacket for stops in Wisconsin, Nevada, Colorado and Ohio.
"Well win Wisconsin again," he says. "We'll win this election and together we'll renew those bonds and reaffirm that spirit that makes the United States of America the greatest nation on earth."
The latest polls continue to show this race a dead heat here nationwide and experts say it's a sign of how close it is that Obama spent time in Wisconsin Wednesday, a state they once had been counting on.
But the President picked up one Sandy-related endorsement while still focused on the storm.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg cited the hurricane and global warming as factors in his decision to back Obama.

In addition to working at Facebook and formerly gigging at Apple, Mike Matas is one hell of a photographer. And thanks to this trio of videos he's made of three pretty serious treks across parts of the globe, we all get to revel in his work. And as a webby kind of guy, he's organized things so that we see these still images at DSL speed. Like 4000 in the span of three minutes. You'd think that this pace would be too disorienting to confer any meaning, and that's part of the point, but when little eddies of calm momentarily repel the crushing tide, there's little more elating. Here are three videos from his Vimeo site, including a new one dedicated to a trip he took to Japan.
One Week In Japan from Mike Matas on Vimeo.
I also quite like an earlier version of the same idea, Matas's trip to Morocco and Spain, again comprised of 4,000 photos. I wonder how sequential the photos are, if they're a real-time, chronological account of his journey, or are edited for maximum effect. Within the frenetic pace of the flashing imagery it's perpetually arresting when flickers of continuity emerge. Whether train tracks, an elephant lolling about, or an extended moment of stillness, Matas has found a way to offer a visual refuge in the visual strobe.

Here's another cool one of a journey through India that begins with a tour in an auto rickshaw and ends up on the train. Hypnotic stuff.

"Albert Ellis is a contemporary prophet whose ideas will be remembered along with those of Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu and Sartre. In this important book, he shows how to develop self-acceptance as well as to learn how to create healthy relationships. In a world of increasing involvement with machines (i.e., computers, televisions, video games) and decreasing involvement with people, nothing could be more needed."
—Jon Carlson, PsyD, EdD, ABPP
Distinguished Professor, Governors State University
"This wonderful book, as it helps us move toward greater compassion for ourselves, for others, and for our troubled world, is one more significant contribution by Dr. Ellis—not only toward greater personal happiness, but also toward a better world."

Qualifiers for Euro 2012 so far
Belgium vs. Turkey
Germany won all of their games yet, so a relative easy group stage for them. One game remaining and Belgium faces Germany, while their opponents Turkey will receive Azerbeidzjan. Belgium will probably have to hope for a disaster for Turkey, because Germany wants to win all of their games. Only a defeat of Turkey or a win against Germany, will be enough for their one point lead.
Russia probably sure, battle for second
As Russia only has to play against Andorra (0 points so far), the main game will be Ireland-Armenia. Armenia has to win to get into play-offs for Euro 2012. Ireland won their previous game with 0-1.
Serbia needs one point for play-offs
Italy has a clear lead, but Serbia will at least have to draw against Slovenia. Estonia has completed their campaign with a one point lead against Serbia, but has played weaker than Serbia in their 2 games against eachother.
Top match in group D
Bosnia-Hercegovina needs a win in France for a direct qualification. The two teams are sure of moving a round forward, but which round will it be? Play-offs or a hot seat until Poland/Ukraine? France defeated Bosnia-Hercegovina in their previous game with 0-2.
No more fun
With only one more game to go, Holland can concentrate at Euro 2012, while Sweden has to go to the play-offs. Hungary can come at the same height as Sweden, but in their confrontations, Sweden was better.
Croatia hopes for a magnificent Georgia.
Greece has a two point lead on Croatia so they will have to lose against Georgia and Croatia needs a win against Latvia if the positions will change in the group. Greece hopes for a surprise in the championship, just like Euro 2004 in Portugal.
England to Euro 2012, Montenegro play-offs
No more challenges in group G, where the most interesting games were the ones where England faced Wales. England won twice, leaving Wales with another not-qualification for a European Championship.
Fun, fun, fun
Denmark vs. Portugal is maybe the game to watch Tuesday. Both on equal points, Portugal has the advantage. Denmark hopes to repeat Euro 1992, where they won the championship in Spain in a final against Germany.
Chance for Scotland?
Today one game takes place: Liechtenstein-Scotland. Guess the expectations yourself. In case Scotland wins, they have one point on the Czech Republic. But Scotland has to play table leader Spain, who are already sure of Euro 2012, while Czech republic has to play against Lithuania. Probably in England they are hoping for a qualification for Scotland, so there will be a chance for the most classic football game in history.

Trade Moves Up White House Agenda
Korea Deal Is Delayed, but President Obama Softens Tone in Touting U.S. Business in Asia; New Ally in Chamber of Commerce
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
YOKOHAMA, Japan—During his 10-day trip to Asia, which ended Sunday, President Barack Obama tested out a new role: salesman-in-chief for American business.
After two years of tension, and sometimes outright hostility between U.S. corporations and the White House, Mr. Obama spoke the language of the converted. At every stop, he touted the millions of U.S. jobs that could be created by the opening of markets overseas and pressed Asia-Pacific leaders to buy American.
The White House is increasingly betting on a revival of U.S. exports to revive a moribund job market and might also be acknowledging tensions with business that contributed to Democrats' midterm election losses.
Photos: Obama Tours Asia
President Barack Obama returned from a 10-day trip through Asia.
"He's done a pretty sharp turn," said Charles Freeman, an East Asian expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. "I think the re-emphasis on business comes from the election: They realize they can't shut business out anymore, or they're going to take you down."
The trip was a rough one for the president. The U.S. was unable to persuade other countries to agree to measures it maintains are necessary to promote growth. Other nations slammed the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision last week to pump $600 billion into the economy. Mr. Obama didn't complete a long-stalled trade deal with South Korea, under pressure from trade antagonists led by Ford Motor Co. and U.S. trade unions.
But the trip may well have a lasting impact in the rhetorical pivot the president took toward business, speaking in tones at odds with the first two years of his administration. The question is whether the shift will be followed with policy action.
Johanna Schneider, executive director of the Business Roundtable, which includes the leaders of the biggest U.S. corporations, said Mr. Obama "was clearly extending an olive branch to the business community, to show that they are at the heart of any plan to revive the economy." She said what comes next is crucial.
Businesses have repeatedly criticized the Obama administration for its bent toward regulation, for veering away from job creation measures to push initiatives like the health-care overhaul and for what they view as the president's combative tone toward corporate America.
On trade in particular, Mr. Obama will have to produce results, especially after the South Korea trade deal fell through, said Daniel Price, a former aide to President George W. Bush on international economics, now with the law firm Sidley Austin. The president has pledged to complete the agreement with South Korea within weeks but must also challenge his party by pushing it through Congress.
"The failure to conclude that agreement will raise questions in the minds of our trading partners about whether the administration's views have really changed or whether the rhetoric of the earlier stops was just that," Mr. Price said.
In addition, Mr. Obama hasn't moved to resolve a festering trade dispute with Mexico because of pressure from Democratic lawmakers and unions.
And in February, when the president releases his next budget, he will have to decide whether he will once again pick a fight with business over tax breaks on overseas earnings, which he says encourage jobs to move overseas but which business says keep U.S. companies internationally competitive.
White House officials say Mr. Obama's faith in "free and fair" trade is not new, but White House deputy communications director Jen Psaki agreed the Asia trip marked his longest, sustained focus on the issues of trade, export promotion and global competitiveness.
"From our perspective, making America more competitive, partnering with the private sector, isn't a Democratic or Republican issue," she said.
Perhaps the most marked change was in the relationship between the White House and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Demonized by the president for the $50 million the chamber contributed to mostly GOP candidates, chamber leaders nonetheless traveled to Seoul to help push the free-trade agreement.
Although negotiations fell short amid disagreements over U.S. tariffs on Korean car imports and non-tariff barriers erected by Seoul, Mr. Obama said he wanted a deal done within weeks.
"The chamber is ready to pull out all the stops to explain the benefits of this agreement to the American people and help move the pact through Congress," said Chamber President Tom Donohue. "The sooner we get this deal done, the sooner it will start creating new American jobs."
Harold "Terry" McGraw III, chairman of McGraw-Hill Cos., who accompanied Mr. Obama on the trip, said he told South Korean Prime Minister Kim Hwang-shik that "we shouldn't be so deep in the weeds on a small auto issue...we're talking about two great countries trying to create growth. We just missed an opportunity."
On Saturday morning, the U.S. president stopped by a chief executives' forum in Yokohama ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit to extol the rise of Asia as an economic power center and make clear the U.S. was in the region to compete.
"As president of the United States, I make no apologies for doing whatever I can to bring those jobs and industries to America," Mr. Obama told the gathering of business leaders and politicians, his eyes puffy with exhaustion.
In India, the White House enlisted Mr. McGraw and the chiefs of PepsiCo Inc., Boeing Co. and Honeywell International Inc. to help secure export deals, and to vouch for the sincerity of the U.S. president's efforts. Mr. Obama took credit for helping to secure $10 billion in U.S. export agreements.
Ms. Psaki said that focus wouldn't end Monday. The White House's export council, led by Boeing CEO Jim McNerney, will meet next month.
"We've had in the United States some battles between myself and some in the business community," Mr. Obama said in South Korea. "At the same time, I've said repeatedly and I said on this trip, we can't succeed unless American businesses succeed. And I'm going to do everything I can to promote their ability to grow and prosper and to sell their goods both in the United States and abroad."
Corrections and Amplifications:
The South Korean prime minister is Kim Hwang-shik. An earlier version of this story said the prime minister is Lee Myung Bak.

Amanda Seyfried may be "very much a couple" with Ryan Phillippe these days, but moving on from her relationship with ex Dominic Cooper wasn't an easy thing to do.
"I got my heart broken pretty hard," Seyfried, 25, says in the April issue of Elle magazine. "After that, it's really hard to open myself up to a new person. Really hard."
The actress, who dated Mamma Mia! costar Cooper for more than three years, says she was initially hurt because he was still involved with someone else.
"I was just kind of foolishly thinking that the two of them were done and Dom and I were involved," says Seyfried, who split temporarily with Cooper, 32, before getting back together.
Seyfried says staying together for so long made it hard when they finally split for good almost a year ago.
Calling falling in love on set "one of the easiest things in the world," the Red Riding Hood star explains, "you're put in a situation where you have to make out with each other. It's easy for things to get carried away."
But Cooper wasn't the only man Seyfried met on the set of Mamma Mia! She also got cozy with the son of costar Stellan Skarsgard, True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard, 34.
"We dated," she says of the younger Skarsgard. "He's super funny, but I was too involved with Dom."
Now with current beau Phillippe, 36, Seyfried is much less forthcoming when it comes to talking about romance. "Um, yeah," she says. "I've been 'seen' with him."
The duo first sparked relationship buzz when they were spotted leaving Kate Hudson's Halloween party together in October.

Kander signs off on the circulation of a ballot referendum to require photo ID to vote.
Notice that "John Ashcroft" who lives in zip code 63146 submitted them. It's not that John Aschroft, it's his son who usually goes by Jay instead of John, the one who narrowly lost a run for State Senate 24 last November, but is running for Kander's job in 2016.
Of course I'll sign the petition, and of course I'll vote for the measure if it makes the ballot and if I'm in the mood to vote, a mood which is declining over time. But I don't see the point, because on the heels of every good initiative petition lies John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy. Need I remind you?

Silverman company shifts strategy to ownership model
Electus has acquired Mannahatta Prods., marking a shift in strategy for Ben Silverman's next-generation studio.
While Electus has struck mostly overall deals with production companies from DiGa to 5×5 Media in order to service clients, Mannahatta marks the first pact in which it will take ownership of the company.
"It's key to transform the deal model so that Electus is known for owning companies underneath our studio banner as we look to scale up," said Electus CEO Chris Grant, who counts Mannahatta as his first transaction since coming aboard the company last November.
Led by Tim Puntillo, Mannahatta is best known for unscripted series including NBC's "Minute to Win It" and Style's "Ruby." Mannahatta will be replaced with a new entity that Puntillo will oversee.
Puntillo first got to know Grant and Silverman when they were at their previous company, Reveille, and Mannahatta produced NBC's "Identity," which Reveille resold in 25 countries.
"He is a capable showrunner with an entrepreneurial spirit and a global approach to the marketplace," Grant said.
"I am excited to join Electus, to not only have the backing of an incredibly strong company with strong ties to foreign markets and deep relationships with advertisers, but to be surrounded by some of the most creative and talented people in the business," Puntillo said.
Evolution Media Capital and Sean Marks of Myman Greenspan Fineman Fox Rosenberg & Light negotiated the deal on behalf of Puntillo, who is represented by CAA.
Electus also tapped Justin Dudek as executive in charge of production and Allison Kaz as head of casting and talent. They served in similar roles at Angel City Factory and 3 Ball Prods., respectively.
