For the next minute, imagine yourself at a car dealership. You're strapped for cash but find a sleek new ride and ask the salesman for a deal.
He quotes you a number that's four times what you have in the bank. And, he warns, even that price isn't fixed -- there's no guarantee you won't pay more in the end.
What do you do?
For California, the lure of its new ride -- a bullet train system capable of whisking passengers between the Bay Area and Los Angeles -- has proved so enticing that the state jumped at the deal, even though it has only a quarter of the money needed.
That's leading some critics to ask whether the state's largest project ever could also prove to be its most financially disastrous.
California is less than two years from the planned start of construction on the nation's first high-speed rail line, which would open in 2020. The trains will zip along the Caltrain corridor from San Francisco to San Jose and then on to Anaheim, a three-hour journey end to end.
It has the potential to create jobs while offering a cheaper, greener and faster form of travel. It could also be another nail in the state's financial coffin.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority, created to carry out the project, told voters in 2008 that the rail line would cost $33.6 billion. The price has since jumped 27 percent, to $42.6 billion.
That much cash could pay to build a new Bay Bridge, extend BART to San Jose and Livermore, and repair California's water system -- with enough left over to erase the state's budget deficit.
And historical data shows the undertaking will almost certainly get more expensive.
How much will it cost?
The Rail Authority's estimate has risen mostly because when the measure went on the ballot, it didn't account for inflation, which is expected to total 19 percent over five years of construction.
Even with that amount factored in, if the Rail Authority meets its new projected target, California's 520-mile system would actually be cheap compared with the per-mile cost of high-speed rail in other parts of the world.
In fact, it would be one of the cheapest such lines in history.
A Bay Area News Group analysis of high-speed systems around the globe suggests that the project could cost less than the current estimate, as little as $38 billion. But it is most likely to cost more -- up to $73 billion, even if built on time.
That analysis is based on the per-mile capital costs of high-speed rail systems built in Europe and Asia in the past decade, as outlined in a World Bank report released last month. The report said costs varied widely depending on terrain, the complexity of engineering work required, how many rail cars were needed and the extent to which routes passed through urban areas.
The newspapers' estimate also factors in the Rail Authority's expected inflation and the estimated $3.4 billion in noncapital expenses -- like public outreach and salaries for authority staffers -- included in the official price tag.
Jeff Barker, deputy director of the Rail Authority, called the estimate "a crude rendering of the possible costs."
Referring to the project's official $42.6 billion price, he said, "a lot more went into it than just taking the per-mile cost and multiplying it out."
But World Bank officials said the per-mile price of a California system would likely fall within the cost range of their report. And one vocal opponent of the project says the upper-range numbers don't surprise him.
"The state of California does not do anything cheaper than the rest of the world," said Adrian Moore, vice president of the libertarian Reason Foundation. "There is no way it will be close to $45 billion."
Costs along some parts of the rail line zoomed up earlier this year, including one five-mile stretch on the Peninsula where estimates soared $135 million. The reason? Engineers had estimated the cost of building two tracks there when they actually needed four.
But Rail Authority board member Rod Diridon noted construction costs during the recession have been consistently low as firms get desperate for jobs.
"We're going to deliver the project as it's promised," Diridon said. "And that's just the way it has to be."
Diridon says delay would be "deadly." The state estimates that every extra year would boost the total price tag by roughly $1.5 billion.
'Optimism bias'
A read through the history books shows it would be extremely rare for a project of this magnitude to meet initial cost projections.
A research team led by Oxford University professor Bent Flyvbjerg has studied the estimates and final price tags of 258 megaprojects across 20 countries, including bridges, rail systems, tunnels and freeways.
What they found was astonishing: Nine out of every 10 projects finished over budget, and the average urban rail system ended up costing 45 percent more than projected.
Flyvbjerg says projects in California haven't bucked the trend. Taxpayer-funded initiatives such as the Bay Bridge rebuild, BART's extension to San Francisco International Airport and the Los Angeles Metro rail system all failed to meet estimates.
The researchers noticed two problems over and again: "optimism bias," the tendency to focus on an idea's potential while downplaying pitfalls; and "strategic misrepresentation," which means officials lowballing costs to make a project look more attractive.
Could this be happening to California?
The Rail Authority stands by its numbers, saying they were generated by some of the world's top firms.
Yet critics have questioned why the authority failed to account for inflation -- which caused cost estimates to jump by about $7 billion -- until after voters approved the project.
Diridon said the board did so because it's tough to predict inflation rates and because federal officials only recently asked for the data.
How will we pay for it?
Trying to contain the cost of a project so large is hard enough. The rail authority has a double challenge: It doesn't have close to enough money to pay for the system even as priced today.
The authority has $9 billion in state bond money and a $2.25 billion federal stimulus grant committed. It says the remaining three-fourths of the construction costs will come from government and private investors.
The state is banking on at least $15 billion more from Washington, D.C., by 2016 and has applied for up to $1 billion from this year's federal budget. Even if it gets the full amount this year, the authority would need at least $2.3 billion each subsequent year from Uncle Sam, a plan the state's nonpartisan legislative analyst recently characterized as "highly uncertain."
The U.S. government's entire high-speed rail budget this year was $2.3 billion, and that was its biggest such layout ever; the feds have tentatively sliced next year's amount to $1.4 billion. California has the largest and most advanced project in the nation but must compete for the grants with 13 high-speed rail corridors across 31 states.
Rail officials argue that the competition actually increases the odds Congress will keep money flowing across the country.
"We're not going it alone in D.C.," said Barker of the Rail Authority. "It's something we're confident the federal government wants to do."
The authority plans to ask local cities, transportation agencies and developers to foot another $4 billion to $5 billion. The final $10 billion to $12 billion would come from foreign countries, companies and other investors. Specific plans for those two pots of funding have yet to be established.
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, for one, thinks the Rail Authority is dreaming. "I don't think there is any hope local governments can come up with that kind of money," he said. "I'm looking at my city's own finances and resources, and we don't have money to spare."
Skeptics also question whether private sponsors will line up to support the project.
"Without a set of numbers that are real, private investment won't be forthcoming," said state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, one of the legislators overseeing the project through the Transportation and Housing Committee.
Still another financial challenge for the authority is operating the line once it's built. That, too, already looks harder than initial indications.
The high-speed rail line's revenues depend on two factors: how many people ride it, and how much they pay.
The state predicts the line will carry 41 million passengers annually by 2035. UC Berkeley experts hired to validate those ridership numbers recently reported them to be unreliable.
And in the dozens of urban rail projects studied by Flyvbjerg's team, the average train system produced half the number of riders that planners expected.
Meanwhile, the authority has nearly doubled the estimated price of traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles to $105, as measured in today's dollars. The original number was based on the notion that a bullet train ticket would be half the price of a comparable air ticket; the authority changed that to 83 percent in hopes of generating more profit.
But the Rail Authority concedes pricier tickets will cost them millions of riders.
Lessons from abroad
The California project would be unprecedented in the United States. The nation's speediest train is an Amtrak express in the Northeast that's capable of 150 mph but averages just 84 mph, slightly faster than the top speed of a commuter line such as Caltrain.
But abroad, there are at least 50 lines carrying high-speed trains -- those that travel in excess of 150 mph.
The World Bank report said China, which soon will have more than half the world's high-speed rail lines, has been successful because of cheap labor.
Results in countries whose costs are comparable to the United States have been mixed. The report says that while most lines cover their operational costs, they've had to restructure debt or seek additional government funds to finish construction.
"Most high-speed rail systems do not pay for their capital investment," said Genevieve Giuliano, director of the METRANS Transportation Center at the University of Southern California.
When Italy first planned to run high-speed trains between Rome and Florence in 1977, officials estimated 60 percent of the $3 billion project would come from the private sector. But costs more than doubled and no private investor participated, leaving Italy to issue bonds to shoulder the entire burden.
After tracks were extended to Milan in 1991, though, private companies enticed by ridership figures joined in and helped raise more than half the cash needed for extensions to other cities.
Meanwhile, France saw high-speed rail ridership soar from 12.5 million in 1980 to nearly 23 million in 1992; it's now a moneymaker.
But in Japan, where government funded the entire system, there were problems when some cities demanded more stations be built. The result was a $200 billion debt in 1987. To spare taxpayers that crushing burden, the government had to sell part of the system to private groups.

It's an unexpected connection, the notion that whole grains are responsible for Monet and Mozart.
But when you chat with cookbook author Mark Scarbrough, the synapses fire, the metaphors fly and the quips come fast and furious.
He has a point about whole grains, though. These "founder crops" don't just date back to the beginnings of civilization -- they're the reason for it. Communities formed around those early grain stores, and from those earliest societies came civilization and culture.
When you delve into topics such as farro, the earthy, nutty grain that's popping up on menus around the Bay Area, the conversation inevitably turns to history. Legions of ancient Romans, Greeks and Mesopotamians dined on farro, and it's long been a staple in many parts of the world.
We may be johnny-come-latelies to the farro party, but we've fully embraced the possibilities, the glorious side dishes, salads and mains designed by creative chefs who appreciate the gourmet factor as well as the nutrition value of this healthy, hearty grain.
Scarbrough calls farro a "gourmet ingredient hiding in plain sight," and one that complements so many things. Salute the waning days of Indian summer by combining cooked farro with fresh nectarines, basil, toasted pine nuts and crumbled ricotta salata. Embrace the grain's earthy side by pairing it with creamy potatoes or smoked chicken and chutney.
Farro comes in several forms, and it's important to know the difference. Scarbrough and Bruce Weinstein -- his partner on more than 20 cookbooks -- prefer the whole grain, as opposed to the semi-pearled or semi-perlato version, in which the bran has been scored but not removed. (Pearled means the bran has been completely removed.) Semi-pearled is the easiest variety to find and the type most frequently called for in cookbooks written by people other than Scarbrough and Weinstein. The duo's new "Main Grains" (Rodale, $24.99, 232 pages) uses whole-grain farro.
"It has earthy tones much like mushrooms, a toasted walnut overtone to it that is just missing from pearled," Scarbrough says. "Bruce's mother just made the whole grain and nectarine salad. She called up raving about it."
(The whole-grain version is carried by some Whole Foods stores, but Scarbrough's mother-in-law, who lives in San Carlos, found it at Williams-Sonoma.)
Even the semi-pearled variety is "whole" enough to make your doctor happy, especially when you use it to give a classic salad a twist. Weinstein does a Nicoise-inspired farro salad, for example. Mindy Fox uses panzanella, the traditional Tuscan bread salad, as an inspiration for a farro salad that is so loaded with tomatoes, basil, corn, green beans and garlic, your taste buds may swoon.
"It's so good for you and so satisfying. You can riff and riff and riff to your heart's content," says Fox, the food editor for La Cucina Italiana magazine and author of "Salads: Beyond the Salad Bowl" (Kyle, $19.95, 176 pages).
At Berkeley's Cafe Rouge, farro is so beloved, it received a starring course of its own during a recent dinner devoted to Sicilian foods and wines. The grain was tossed with a champagne vinaigrette, fresh arugula and generous chunks of avocado for a salad course so memorable, it nearly upstaged the rest of the dinner.
That's the beauty of the grain, food writer Diane Morgan says. It's so eminently satisfying, it can make omnivores forget there's a turkey on the Thanksgiving table.
The Portland, Ore.-based writer's newest book, "Roots" (Chronicle, $40, 432 pages), explores the panoply of possibilities in the root cellar -- from Andean tubers to beets, galangal and wasabi -- then pairs those hearty tubers in winning ways. Pair rutabaga or carrots with farro, she says, and "it wins on so many levels." Add sauteed pearl onions, red grapes and fresh herbs to the mix for a dish so nutrient-rich, texturally interesting and flavor-packed that it can steal the limelight on any holiday buffet -- but remains simple enough for a "Meatless Monday" or Sunday supper.
But consider yourself warned if you're going to venture down the farro highway. Farro is kind of the gateway drug of whole grains.
Just ask Scarbrough, who brought a simple whole-grain salad to a book club meeting recently.
"I thought," he says, "they were going to beat each other senseless trying to get to it."

This show hasn't been shy about using sex as a weapon. Philip carried on an affair with Analese to gain entry into the Secretary of Defense's home.
This episode really showcased the price women pay for these encounters. From Nina going beyond simple flirting to Elizabeth taking punishment, women were using their sexuality as a way to gain an advantage. But at what did it cost them?
Elizabeth, posing as a security official, checks in on an anti-ballistics program contractor/widower. In 35 years of marriage, he says he never told his wife about his high-security clearance job and never stepped outside his marriage. What she was really doing was subvertly interviewing a KGB contact who seemed to be losing his will and needed face time with his handler. KGB handlers were on high alert because they'd been closely watched by the FBI. Elizabeth tells Claudia that the contact, Uchada, would have cracked in seconds had she pushed him.
After Elizabeth leaves, Uchada calls his handler, Vasili from the Soviet embassy. The FBI picks up the call and learns that a contact is spinning and could be ready to jump ship. Beeman, who's obviously catching feelings for Nina, tells his "beautiful, intelligent and intuitive" spy that she can find out what's going on. In Russian, he tells Nina to trust him, but his intonation makes him sound like it's a demand, not a request.
Nina takes Beeman's words to heart and seduces Vasili, who in turn casually tells her that one of his contacts has "jitters." When Beeman asks her how she found all this out, she bluntly tells him how she serviced Vasili. A shocked Beeman looks like he wants to hurt Vasili.
Elizabeth has found her latest mark: kinky FBI contractor who builds the encryption cards hidden in the trunk of FBI vehicles. Elizabeth seduces this intel out of him, but not before a very brief sexual encounter, followed by rough play ending with Elizabeth cowering in a corner screaming for him to stop hurting her. He shushes her, and she turns to dress with a smirk on her face
Philip is stunned at the lashings on Elizabeth's back. He joins Beeman in going into alpha mode, saying he's going to deal with it. Elizabeth is justifiably insulted and furious that he would think she couldn't handle the situation herself. "If I'd wanted to deal with him, you don't think he'd be dealt with?" she asks him. Though Elizabeth was put into a degrading situation, she took it to be part of the job. She tells him that she doesn't need him to be her daddy, alluding to him taking down the man who hit on Paige at the mall.
Philip and Elizabeth pick a mini fight in the car while on a mission. Philip, who had earlier given Henry a hard time about losing his thermos, was still mad that he couldn't "deal" with the S&M man. She snipes at him and he slams on the brakes, causing an FBI agent to get in an accident and go to a repair shop. Philip, in disguise, is there getting his car fixed. While both cars are on lifts, Elizabeth deftly escapes Philip's trunk, crosses over to the FBI's car and slides into the trunk. Before she can escape with the encryption card, the FBI's car is fixed and the agents drive off with her. Elizabeth is able to escape once the car is parked at FBI headquarters and she walks out with a "See ya," to the security guards. Philip is waiting for her with coffee and donuts.
Beeman, who hasn't spent much time at home because of his new hunting-spies job, is continuing his foreign-language lessons by practicing at the table. His wife, wearing sexy black negligee, asks him to come to bed. Sandra tries to get him to remember the good times they used to have, like line dancing. He'd rather learn Russian to impress Nina.
Poor Nina. All she wanted was to send some money back home to her family. Now she's been pulled into the spy world by the FBI and is using her "beauty and intelligence" to make a small man feel big. She tells Beeman about the encryption code and Vasili's scheduled meeting with his contact.
The FBI gets the codes changed, and the KGB realize they have a mole. Vasili leaves the Soviet embassy still intent on meeting with Uchada, we're led to believe. Really, he's leading the FBI away from the meeting point so that Elizabeth can shoot Uchada in the head. Again, Elizabeth is nothing if not efficient.
Side thoughts:
* Isn't completely obvious to the KGB that Nina is the mole? How much time does she have left on the show? It seems that she was the only person with Vasili when things went wrong, so he should be able to put two and two together.
* Alpha male behavior wasn't limited to Beeman and Philip. Amador openly sexually harasses Martha at the office. Agent Gaad, for Martha's benefit, gives Amador the requisite speech about how that behavior isn't allowed, all while rolling his eyes.
* Claudia touts the strength of Russian versus American women. American women were asking for equal rights whereas Soviets knew you had to take them and claim them every day of the year, she says. Would Nina have had to stoop to the level she's at now if she were still in Russia? And what about Elizabeth's rights as a trainee? Could she still have claimed them while her trainer had her pinned to the floor and was raping her?
* How awesome were Keri Russell's spy skills? She was given the brunt of the work to do this episode, both emotionally and physically. From going undercover twice to even using her "Mission: Impossible" skills to slide from one car trunk to another, she carried a lot of "COMINT's" weight well.
* A quick Wikipedia search showed the COMINT stands for communications intelligence, a kind of intel gathered by intercepting signals between people. Were all the signals read clearly tonight?
So what did you think? Was sex as a weapon a good tool in this episode? Will Beeman get over his infatuation with Nina, because that's obviously not going anywhere? Will Philip continue to parade around sans shirt to proclaim his alpha maleness? Leave your thoughts below in the comments section.

Port of Galveston is latest Panama Canal partner
October 28, 2010 - LM Editorial
Yet another partnership with a U.S. port has been initiated by the Panama Canal Authority.
Panama Canal Authortiy (ACP) Administrator/CEO Alberto Alemán Zubieta and Port of Galveston Director Steven M. Cernak signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during an official ceremony in Panama City, Panama. To date, several similar strategic alignments have been established by the ACP
The MOU aims to facilitate international trade and generate new business by promoting the "All-Water Route," the route from Asia to the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts via the Panama Canal.
"There is a real reason U.S. West Coast ports should be concerned," said Mary Brooks, a professor and William A. Black Chair of Commerce at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. "Our researchers are gathering data now to determine if shippers will opt for all-water service in the future."
While Galveston is hardly a major ocean cargo gateway, it does facilitate the movement of a varied mix of domestic and international goods valued at more $1 billion a year.
This strategic alliance is valid for two years and is renewable upon mutual agreement.
The Panama Canal, which recently commemorated its one-millionth transit, is currently undergoing a historic $5.25 billion expansion. The project will add a new lane of traffic with the construction of a new set of locks, doubling the capacity of the waterway and allowing for the transit of longer, wider ships.
"We look forward to building upon our existing relationship with the Port of Galveston, which is a strategic geographic partner located only nine miles from the open Gulf of Mexico," said Alemán Zubieta.

Project Number: 3012-13660-008-06
Start Date: Aug 01, 2013
End Date: Oct 31, 2014
• Develop a new hydrology tool under the Object Modeling System (OMS) as a combination of existing tools to analyze flood hydrology. It will ultimately replace three existing applications used by NRCS: Engineering Field Handbook Chapter 2 (EFH-2), WinTR-55 Small Watershed Hydrology, and WinTR-20 Project Formulation Hydrology. • Reproduce the current functionality and results of these existing tools, while providing a unified computational service under OMS, which later can be integrated into the Conservation Delivery Streamlining Initiative (CDSI) to make the necessary hydrology information available for resource analysis and planning. • Test the new hydrology tool against data sets provided by ARS and NRCS. • Contribute to the improvement of OMS in collaboration with the OMS development and application team. • Work closely with the USDA-NRCS Information Technology Center and NRCS Hydraulic Engineers regarding databases available for model inputs and desired model outputs.

When mentioning Italian crime fiction, everyone thinks about Andrea Camilleri and his Inspector Montalbano. In fact, Montalbano is only one in a series of Italian sleuths who have been delighting Italian readers since 1929. It is a very precise date, as this is the year the first Giallo Mondadori was published: initially only referring to the yellow colour of the cover, the term came to represent a whole genre of crime fiction which doesn't distinguish between detective, noir, thriller, forensic or other sub-genres as in the English-speaking world.
Italian crime fiction cannot claim roots as deep as British fiction, but Augusto de Angelis (1888-1944) is one of its pioneers: between 1930 and 1943 he wrote about twenty books with protagonist Commissario Carlo De Vincenzi. In 1943 de Angelis he was arrested, accused of antifascism and died a few months later. His books have not yet been translated into English.
The following years did not see a huge number of crime writers in Italy, most likely because of the censorship of the fascist years between 1931 and 1946 which aimed at eliminating some unsavoury aspects of society (as murder could be) even from the imagination of innocent Italians.
A fervent antifascist was also Carlo Emilio Gadda, an engineer by profession, who wrote only one crime fiction book: Quer Pasticciaccio Brutto de via Merulana (That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana) published in 1957, but serialised between 1946 and 1947. The large number of characters and the absence of a main protagonist, and the lack of a solution to the story reflect, in Gadda's view, true life which is always too chaotic and complicated to be explained by rationality alone.
Leonardo Sciascia in 1961 published Il Giorno Della Civetta (The Day of the Owl), a novella more than a novel, which truly encapsulates what the mafia is all about: most of his later novels deal with omertà (silence) and the difficulty of finding the culprit in a society where corruption and fear are rife.
In the late Sixties an author who had already written a few books in the Giallo Mondadori, Giorgio Scerbanenco, was propelled to fame by the Duca Lamberti series, starting with Venere Privata (A Private Venus). The protagonist is not an investigator but a doctor who has been struck off the register for having performed a euthanasia. In its historical context, I am sure this was an even more controversial figure than it would be today. Scerbanenco had written in various genres previously, including romance fiction, and his production is vast.
The Anni di Piombo (Years of Lead) were the years of political and violent extremism embodied in the anarchic circles and their alleged involvement in the Piazza Fontana bombing, the Brigate Rosse (a far-left terrorist organisation) and their kidnapping and subsequent murder of high profile politician Aldo Moro, was the worst period of Italy's terrorism and again didn't see much published in terms of crime fiction: perhaps real life was already too gruesome and rather scary for Italians.
The Anni di Piombo are the setting of Romanzo Criminale by Giancarlo de Cataldo (2002), which again explores the links between the Mafia, the State and organised crime after Aldo Moro's kidnapping. An Italian film has been made from the book and more recently HBO has acquired the rights to produce a new TV series. Romanzo Criminale tells the story of the Banda della Magliana, a semi-independent criminal organisation working in Rome from 1976, and still operating nowadays according to some.
Massimo Carlotto is perhaps an icon of the heavy-handedness of the law after the Anni di Piombo: in 1976 he found a student friend, Margherita Magello, stabbed 59 times in his apartment. He contacted the police but was then arrested and accused of the murder, and despite the lack of forensic evidence against him, the process went through the three courts and he was convicted. His arrest has been linked to his membership of Lotta Continua, a political and semi-violent extreme left organisation. He absconded to Mexico and Central America, and only in 1993 President Scalfaro granted him a reprieve allowing him to start a new life.
Many of his books have autobiographical traits: from Il Fuggiasco (The Fugitive, 2005), to his main character L'Alligatore, to Giorgio Pellegrini, the protagonist of Arrivederci Amore Ciao (The goodbye kiss, 2007) and of his latest, Alla fine di un Giorno Noioso, where Giorgio is trying to rebuild his reputation.
Although most gialli writers demonstrate the typical impegno, the social and political commitment and analysis of the evils of Italian society, a large number of them chooses to set their fiction in historical rather than contemporary setting, which doesn't mean the impegno is absent. Of those set in the distant past, Alfredo Colitto's trilogy starting with Cuore di Ferro (Inquisition, 2011) takes place in the anatomy study of Bologna, in the early 14th century; Danila Comastri Montanari writes fiction set in ancient Rome, with a character similar to Lindsey Davis' Falco.
Marcello Fois is a writer and screenwriter, and is known to English readers mostly for Sempre Caro (The Advocate, 2003) the first of a trilogy set in Sardinia at the beginning of the twentieth century, with protagonist lawyer Bustianu, which won the prestigious Premio Scerbanenco in 1998. His writing is very lyrical and poetic in its description of the society and the natural environment of his native Sardinia. The Advocate was shortlisted for the CWA Ellis Peters Historical Dagger in 2003.
Marco Vichi is also a fiction writer and screenwriter and is the creator of the Commissario Bordelli, set in Florence in the Sixties. His Il Commissario Bordelli (Death in August, 2011 and Death and the Olive Grove, 2012) are the first two in a successful series.
Carlo Lucarelli is one of the best known Italian crime writers, and is best known for the Commissario De Luca trilogy (translated into English as Carte Blanche, The Damned Season and Via delle Oche) but also well known for Almost Blue (2004) which was shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger. He also is the presenter of Blu Notte (now Lucarelli racconta), a TV programme reconstructing unsolved crimes and mysteries of the distant and recent past.
The background of authors is important for their writing, especially in the case of Valerio Varesi who was a journalist for various national newspapers before writing fiction: his River of Shadows (2011) is the first in the Commissario Soneri series, which continues with The Dark Valley (2012). The River of Shadows has been shortlisted for the CWA International Dagger.
This brief outline cannot conclude without mention of Andrea Camilleri who, as alluded to, is probably the best known of Italian giallisti: he straddles the detective story and the cosy crime, and his is the archetype of the Italian lonely copper who can drop almost everything (but not his case) for a plate of excellent food. The importance of language and dialect is perhaps as important in Camilleri as it was for Gadda half a century earlier.
What the modern day gialli generally have in common is a meticulous description of the political and social background which makes them more character-driven than plot-driven, and usually a very strong view on the situation, which transpires in the books and which I believe makes one of the interesting marks of gialli. They certainly are very special, and make a huge contribution to the diversity of the crime fiction panorama worldwide.

A Sarah Palin Defense Fund Is Up And Running
Click here to go to the site. If you click on the donate button it will take you to FreeAmericanCitizens.org, a non-affiliated PAC. The legal defense fund is run by the organizer of the PAC.
According to the organizer,the defense money raised will go directly to Thomas Van Flein, Governor Palin's private attorney. Governor Palin owes over 500 thousand dollars in legal bills as she fights a series of ethics complaints filed by Democratic Operatives working in Alaska. The bills are expected to go much higher.
Clayton Paslay, a businessman who splits his time between Texas and Southern California, set up the fund. (Seen in the picture to the right with his wife Inge.)
Clayton tells me that he has never met the Governor, but set up the fund because he wants her "to get a fair shake." He also told me that he hopes Sarah Palin runs for President in 2012 because "We need someone to clean up Washington. Someone with grit like Governor Palin."
Mr. Paslay says he filed all the federal election legal papers for the special fund and spoke with Governor Palin's attorney. I called Mr. Van Flein's office and they confirmed that the fund is legitimate.
Paslay expects enemies of Sarah Palin to come after him. Paslay said, "I told Sarah Palin's attorney that I may need him too."
A friend of the Governor told me that another fund is being set up and that will be the official Sarah Palin Defense Fund.
To read more about the frivolous ethics complaint filed against Sarah Palin, click here for my previous postings.
****UPDATE**** I received this email from a spokesperson for the Governor about the Free American Citizens' defense fund for Sarah Palin:
It is legal. It's just not the official one. Please tell people that the official one is soon to come. Again, we do not know that donors will comply with our terms and guidelines which are very strict - we may end up needing to contact every single donor to ask the questions that we will be asking. However, we appreciate any and all assistance! Thank you.
****ANOTHER UPDATE**** After reading the post Clayton Paslay wanted to assure everyone that every donation will be tracked and accounted for. He and his staff will be meticulous with the accounting because, as he says, "I know there is somebody out there waiting to shoot me down."
Again, just to be clear. Sarah Palin's attorney has given his assurance that this fund is legal and legitimate. So, if you give to this fund or the "official" one still to be set up, the money is all going to the same place - to pay for Sarah Palin's legal bills.

Supporters of Sarah Palin come from a wide range of people. We were able to get this Defense Fund drive up the following day after Bill O'Reilly on fox news requested for someone to develop one.
Please contact us for any questions or concerns you may have.

Free American Citizens,
Thanks for the reply. Just being careful. There have been a lot of people who exploit the governor. All I want is for her to get this debt paid and the weight of it off of her shoulders.
Thanks for helping. I appreciate anyone who would help the governor.
Are you going to contact Bill O'Reilly? He did promise to promote the cause and donate himself?

I've made several attempts to reach Bill O'Reilly, but to no avail.
I am with you, he did promise! If you or anyone have a means of reaching him...please do so..

I don't think there is enough money to cover GINO's lack of common sense, wrong decisions and generally stupid self serving decisions. However, that all said, please send all your hard earned money to Thomas Van Flein as he is trying very hard to defend her just as every other felon in this country deserves fair representation by law. Good luck Tom.
- April 7, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Hey, if you really want to help, why don't you take Sarah Palin off our hands? She's yours for the taking. And while you're at it, you can have all her corrupt baggage, her inability to lead, her total disdain of government and laws, her lack of knowledge, her vindictiveness, her cronyism, and all the future pending lawsuits that are coming her way as she insists on thumbing her nose at due process, honest government, the citizens of Alaska, and the Alaska Legislature. Hell, we'll even take up a collection to send her down there to 'ya. (wink, wink!)
You Betcha!
- April 7, 2009 at 10:38 PM
She can afford her own legal bills according to her financial report, the Palins have over 7 million in investments. If they make so little money just how do they have that much in assets, not to mention an airplane and have registered over 40 vehicles in the past few years, and a half million dollar house. It was reported a quarter million was spent on her and her family for clothes, toys, massages, makeup and hair during just two months of campaigning. Just think what she could spend in two years of campaigning. If she did get elected they would have to keep that image up so you better have deep pockets to support her vanity. She would be better suited working for Fox to feed most of her needs, admiration and money, a lot more than POTUS, the main thing she craves though would not be meet and that is power and control over other people.
- April 8, 2009 at 2:39 AM
Sarah Palin to clean up Washington? How do you clean anything with a dirty rag? Have you done any research? She is as corrupt and self-serving as they come. She lies. She lies about her lies. Then she lies about the lies that she lied about, if you get my drift.
- April 8, 2009 at 5:03 AM
Funny how sex appeal makes men, in particular, ignore Palin's serious shortcomings.It is mostly men driving the Palin love fest. Ah but women get deluded too simply because she's the Gov. Unfortunately most well educated women I know would be embarrassed to be seen with her. BTW, well educated doesn't mean elitist just in case you have no clue. Her inability to lead her state and word salad speech is appalling. If my high school daughter talked like that I'd have her tutored or held back until she learned how to speak properly. I am a "real" American as is every citizen in this nation and certainly would never emulate Sarah Palin. I did not and never would vote for her for anything. As a life long Republican I think more of my nation than to subject it to mediocrity. Send your money, it'll be a waste but then as is said a fool and his money are easily parted.
- April 8, 2009 at 7:08 AM
Hmn, seems like double speak to me. It's not the "official" defense fund site, yet the link directs one to the "official" site. Another example of how Ms. Palin tries to fool the public. The Do as I say, not as I do attitude is insulting at best, shameful in practice, and shows she has zero understanding of what the public expects.

Dear well-intended people,
It is amazing how many people want to help and support Sarah Palin who 'have never met her' and who don't live in Alaska or have any idea how she is fulfilling her role as Governor. We wish she was a good governor, too. It would be great. It is NOT just 'Democratic operatives' whatever that is supposed to mean that are disappointed in her. It is just regular people that are having a hard time with her policies, attitude and behavior. Maybe they became Democrats because they are distressed with the governor, not the other way around. I am truly sorry to disappoint the people who want an alternative to Obama and are worried about what may happen, but she is not it, please believe the Alaskans who have to live with her as head of our state.

Is this website supposed to be serious? The bright pink background and the disjointed message from the governor's office make it seem like this is a spoof - ?? Since she has an 'official' site for fund raising why would there need to be another one? Sorry I didn't catch the joke the first time!
- April 8, 2009 at 9:02 AM
Palin is a trainwreck in every sense of the word. Perhaps if she didn't behave in questionable ways, she wouldn't have racked up this kind of a legal tab. That said, why have an "official", "unofficial" or any OTHER kind of legal defense fund? I'm sure if folks send their money directly to the law firm, they will credit her account accordingly. This has "shady dealings" written all over it!
- April 8, 2009 at 9:53 AM
Palin is snubby. I would not give her a cent. The people of alaska should impeach her. I hope the people in alaska don't vote for her in the next election for Governor.
- April 8, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Sarah is an incredable person. She is smart, beautiful, tall and elegant. But she is not very saavy with money yet ( Ted Stevens will show her a couple of tricks before he dies). As A politican, she is one of the least corrupted of the bunch. So since she is fairly straight, i will give some legal suggestions to help her with her bills
1. Poise for playboy--- at least a million there.
2. donate her eggs as designer eggs who wouldn't want a daughter that hot--probably 100.000 per egg.
3. allow a 24 hour camera into her life- millions will watch.
4. sell Palin alaska gold bracelts.
5. run a kissing booth at county fairs, 100 dollars a smooch or 6000/hour
6.MC the miss america pagent
7. endorse produts such as ipods and play stations
She has so much potential that she doesn't ned our money as a donation, rather just help her push herself and products.
- April 8, 2009 at 10:49 AM
I have a problem with this organization upstaging the "official" Palin Defense Fund. Why? It's silly to stir confusion when it's been made known to the public that Palin is setting up her own defense fund. Can people let the governor do what is in her best interest instead of rushing to complicate things...sheesh!

I dont know if you will print this comment as I am not for Sarah. It is unbeliveable that this woman cannot even speak in a complete sentence. And the way she conducted her self at the rallys with all the hatefulwords coming out of her mouth and endangered the Presidents life. The way she paraded her children on the national stage and having to drag poor Levi up there too. For the way she conducted herself and the fact that she may run in 2012 and the way the republicans in D C are trying every thing in their power to fight the president in what he is trying to do, I am no longer a republican. And now I feel good that when the primarys come up I do not have to vote for the choices they have and they are all lousy. And from what I see on this site she has plenty of money to pay for her own debts. And it is also a disgrace how she doesnt want to accept the stimulas money for her state to help the poor people in her state, she has to follow in the footsteps of Bobbby and Mark. And these guys think this will win them the election. Well dream on guys.
- April 8, 2009 at 1:07 PM
The only comments I do not post are ones that are lewd, threatening or use obscenities.
I let almost everything else go through.
The sole exceptions are comments on typos. I just fix the post and kill the comments out of pure embarrassment :)
- April 8, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Let me put this straight, as a person who works in legal aid in Alaska (and broadcasting from Oregon right now, as I am at a meeting with a major GOP donor):
The complexity of the legal system, as well as federal and state laws regarding legal defense funds, have created a system where Clayton's legal defense fund cannot be used. It is not the fault of SarahPAC, Gov. Palin, or even Clayton, that federal and state law are the way they are.
Secondly, there is a major problem right now with frivolous lawsuits being filed against Governor Palin in regards to all sorts of misdeeds, hence probably why SarahPAC and associates close to Palin are trying to go by the book.
It seems like this blog is doing more to harm Governor Palin than actually help. I would suggest working much more closely with places like Conservatives4Palin.com.

If you read my series of posts on this topic, you know that I contacted Mr. Paslay, Sarah Palin's attorney and Meghan Stapleton before going with the story.
ALL told me the fund was legal.
Now the fund is getting too much publicity and they changed their tune.
Conservatives4Palin is acting too much like a mouthpiece for SarahPac and I think they dropped the ball here.
Clayton Paslay is a good guy who loves Sarah Palin. He would do anything to make this work. They just need to talk with him and not around him.
Bill, the only real hold up between Federal and State law in this regard is that Alaska limits contributions to 150 dollars. Mr. Paslay has been made awrae of that and will comply.
This whole mess could have been avoided, but to blame me for reporting on it is just a little silly.
Almost as silly as Conservatives4Palin slamming me and claiming on their site that "they check their facts before going with a story"..an yet they didn't contact me, Mr. Paslay or anyone but SarahPac.
- April 8, 2009 at 2:33 PM
Sure she owes $500K because of the attacks of the liberal press during her run for VP....but she made over $2M for a book deal because of the attacks of the same. That's a tidy $1.5M profit. I'll take that.

Who paid for levi's trip to NY?? The kid is broke! No job. No education. His mom, I'm sure, is using the family cash to pay her attorney fees for 6 felony drug charges for selling oxycotin at our local Target. Poor Bristol should have gotten rid of him along time ago.
- April 8, 2009 at 6:15 PM
This is absolutly crazy. She got herself in this mess and should get herself out. She has caused more pain for our State than good. Trust me there is nothing behind the curtain if you will. It is all about Sara and she is in it for herself and no one else. Perhaps give to a charity worthwhile, like United Way, or Salvation army.

Hey all you spineless Liberals a.k.a. "Anonymous" what's the matter, are you to gutless to put your name on your opinion? You all want to criticize Gov. Palin and want to say she is corrupt. Like you think she's hiding something, but I'd bet you aren't screaming over the fact that your beloved Obama wont show his Birth Certificate and prove he's truly eligble to hold the Office the Liberal News Media, Acorn, and George Soros have put him in. What's He hiding? He also campaigned on "Transparency," "No Earmarks" "No Pork," go through "Each Bill Line By Line." None of which he has done. Why aren't you screaming about that. You're screaming about Gov. Palin only because you're afraid of good Honest, corruption free government.

I just can't understand what the party sees in Sara Palin, she is not and shouldn't be in a national level within our party. Please, open your eyes and lets focus with someone who is really qualified.
- April 16, 2009 at 2:18 PM
Sarah Palin is a real person who has real principals. Obvisouly the left is intemidated by her. Barak Obama is not the real president oof the United States, he is only acting as the president of the USA. George Soros is the real president of the USA. Barak is a puppet for George Soros.

ANYONE who has donated to this site, or the other really legal one which is to set be up and running, must be playing WITHOUT a full deck and looney as a crazy idiot! You may not want to hear/read the truth about her, but you have to face reality sooner or later. Listen to the news or read from websites that are not just 'favorable' to her and perhaps you actually learn what she is really about rather than just idolizing her for all the superficial reasons you have cooked up! This woman has NO MORAL COMPASS and needs to study subjects like English, current events and history so she will actually know what she is talking about rather than just trying to slide by on her looks! At least look at the FACTS and then make a decision based on her actual deeds as opposed to the facade of her 'word salad'

RIDGECREST — The Immanuel Christian boys basketball team turned the ball over 45 times in its 43-32 loss to Trona Tuesday in the Kerr McGee Center.
The Tornadoes full-court pressed for most of the game and trapped in the corners, causing ICS trouble.
Tornadoes guard Daniel Sandoval rushed up and down the floor in getting double-digit steals for Trona in the win.
Immanuel also used some full-court pressure, which forced Trona into 24 turnovers of its own.
After one quarter, Immanuel led 7-5 and took a 14-12 lead into halftime.
In all, the two teams combined for only 10 made field goals in the first half.
The game opened up a bit in the third quarter. ICS came out of halftime and went on a small, 5-0 run, getting baskets from Paul Henderson, Joseph Slatkovsky and Caleb Szynthack to open up a 19-12 advantage.
Trona didn't give up, however, and came out in the fourth ready to play.
C.J. Johnson and Sandoval led Trona on a 8-0 run to open the fourth frame and never gave the lead back to ICS.
After pressing for most of the game, the Tornadoes started to force turnovers in bunches.
C.J. Johnson, Teddy Johnson, Brian Hotz and Erik Zamora all had baskets for the Tornadoes during their 10-0 run to close the game.
C.J. Johnson scored all of his team-high nine points in the final frame.
The Tornadoes won the final quarter 20-6 to get the win.
Zamora had nine points as well in the win, while Sandoval had eight points.
Immanuel's Paul Henderson had 10 points and added 12 rebounds. Slatkovsky had seven points and four rebounds, while Kenny Witham added four points and 10 rebounds.
The Tornadoes are now 1-6 on the season, while ICS sits at 0-11.

[2/B][In Africa Irving observed that the black man] 'With his family, his goat, and his shack he happy [...] What a sad end of Empire for the English: what an abject, unwarranted capitulation of wisdom before ignorance, of the brave before the brutal, of a whole nation to the dictates of an uncivilized world!' [David Irving Diaries (Vol. 57), 23 February 1992: K4, Tab. 10, p. 26 ]
[2/C][Irving sang racist ditties with his young daughter Jessica. He noted in his diary] 'There are two other poems in which she stars: My name is Baby Jessica / I've got a pretty dress-ica / But now it's in a mess-ica. And, more scurrilously, that when half-breed children are wheeled past:
I am a Baby Aryan
Not Jewish or Sectarian
I have no plans to marry-an
Ape or Rastafarian.
Benté [the mother of Jessica] is suitably shocked.' [David Irving Diaries (Vol. 60), 17 September 1994: K4, Tab. 10, p. 38]
[2/D]'For the last four weeks just for once I have gone away from London, where I have been sitting, down to Torquay, which is a white community. We saw perhaps one black man and one coloured family in the whole time I was down there. I am not anti-coloured, take it from me; nothing pleases me more than when I arrive at an airport, or a station, or a seaport, and I see a coloured family there - the black father, the black wife and the black children....When I see these families arriving at the airport I am happy (and when I see them leaving at London airport I am happy. [Cheers and Laughter]. But if there is one thing that gets up my nose, I must admit, it is this -- the way...the thing is when I am down in Torquay and I switch on my television and I see one of them reading our news to us. It is our news and they're reading it to me. (If I was a chauvinist I would even say I object even to seeing women reading our news to us.) ["Hear, hear", and Laughter]
Because basically international news is a serious thing and I yearn for the old days of Lord Reith, when the news reader on the BBC, which was the only channel in those times, wore a dinner jacket and bow tie and rose to the occasion [...] But now we have women reading out news to us. If they could perhaps have their own news which they were reading to us I suppose [Laughter], it would be very interesting. [Good-natured female heckling].
For the time being, for a transitional period I'd be prepared to accept that the BBC should have a dinner-jacketed gentleman reading the important news to us, following by a lady reading all the less important news, followed by Trevor Macdonald giving us all the latest news about the muggings and the drug busts - [rest lost in loud Laughter and Applause].'[P's Clarendon Club speech, 19 September 1992: K4, Tab. 5, pp. 10-11]
[2/E][In answer to the rhetorical question of why, in his mind, why ethnic minorities have 'a very high profile' on television, Irving replied] 'The answer is of course, they're trying to force this multicultural, this multi-ethnic mix, what Winston Churchill himself called a kind of artists sludge [...] And he [Churchill] knew what he was saying, because he was speaking back in the 1940s and 1950s before this appalling national tragedy.' [P's speech to the Clarendon Club, 19 September 1992: K4, Tab. 5, p. 11]
[2/F]'...and the Conservatives, I think we're all ashamed to say, bear the greatest blame for what's happened to this country over the last 30 years, this act of self-immolation, when you consider that more coloured immigrants are now in this country, 3 times as many as the size of the army with which Adolf Hitler invaded Russia in 1941. You can see the size of the invasion that we have passively, silently and cowardly and cravenly succumbed to in this country. Worst than that of course, anybody who objects to it in this country has to watch his language very closely, as [unintelligible] who's in our presence today knows, have to watch your language very carefully in order not to fall foul, fall foul of the full majesty of the law.'[P's speech at Bow Town Hall, 29 May 1992: K4, Tab.4, p. 2]
[2/G]INTERVIEWER: ..you were quoted on, Mr Irving, you were quoted on radio in Australia yesterday saying it makes you queasy seeing black men playing cricket for England. Can you explain to us what you mean by that?
IRVING: Well I think probably if you spoke to a lot of English people they'd, they'd find the same thing but not many of them are prepared to say it in public. You see there's so much intimidation in our so-called liberal free democratic society that that people are forced to live an almost schizophrenic existence. They make statements in public which they consider to be safe but privately at the back of their heads they think differently and I say what I think. And, I'm queasy when I see, now you see I was born in England in 1938 and people will know what I'm saying now, 1938 England was a different country from the way England is now and I'm unhappy to see what we have done to England. We've abdicated, we've committed a kind of international hari kari, we've inflicted great misery on ourselves with coloured immigration and we've inflicted, let's be frank, we've inflicted misery on the coloured immigrants as well. It's a kind of 20th century slave trade. I don't like it and I'm queasy about it and I'm frank enough to say it and no-one's going to prevent me from speaking my mind about it.' [P's interview for the Holmes Show (New Zealand television) 4 June 1993: K3, Tab. 16, pp. 3-4]
[2/H]'Patriotism always involves a certain degree of hostility to foreigners. In fact people sometimes say to me, "Mr. Irving, racism." And I say, "You tell me this: what is the difference between racism and patriotism?" They're both two ways of describing the same kind of elemental xenophobia that exists in every human being that God created.' [P's interview for This Week, 28 November 1991: K3, tab 12, pp. 10-11]
[2/I][Setting out a speech he would have made at the Oxford Union had he not been prevented by a 'campaign of slanders and smear'] '..the compulsory repatriation of Blacks from this country is never likely to command an overwhelming majority of votes. True, as both public polls and our postbag show, British citizens as a whole are in favour, but they will hesitate to vote for any policy which may attract the opprobrium of the rest of the world, or drag Britain's name in the mud. Why not therefore adopt a Benevolent Repatriation policy [...] if the introduction of a compulsory repatriation programme is likely to meet with delay, then let us start first with a Benevolent Repatriation scheme as outlined in FP, Dec. 20. The one does not preclude the other.' [Focal Point, 8 March 1982; K4, Tab. 10, p. 7]
[2/J]'I said many years ago, I think that it is time to find some way of persuading the, the ethnic minorities in this country who are unhappy and are causing much unhappiness both to themselves and to others by their presence here to find an upright and honest manner in which we can transport them back, in a benevolent manner, to their homelands if they wish to go.
But we have to make it attractive to them. We have to provide them with full economy, uh, a full employment to which they can return. We can't send them back to unemployment; if you pay them five thousand pounds to leave from Heathrow they'll come back in through Prestwick, and leave again through Heathrow and it'll be the biggest stage army since Henry the Fifth! [Laughter] So my views are given roughly there.' [P's speech to the Clarendon Club', 19 September 1992: K4, Tab. 5, pp. 6-7]
[2/K] '...and the Journalist has said "Mr Irving, we read in today's newspapers that you told the ABC radio that you feel queasy about the immigration disaster that's happened to Britain. Is that your opinion?" and I said "well yes, I have to admit to being born in England in 1938, which was a totally different England, I feel queasy when I look and see what has happened to our country and nobody has stood up and objected it" and he says "well what do you think about black people on the Australian, on the British cricket team then?. How do you feel about that then, the black cricketers?" So I said "that makes me even more queasy..." and so he says right, and I say "no, hang on, it makes me feel queasy but I would like to think we've got white cricketers who are as good as the black ones" and he couldn't climb out of that you see. And then he says "so what you're advocating then is a kind of race hatred." So I said "before I answer your questions, would you tell me what you believe in, as a journalist, an Australian journalist. Do you believe in mixing up all God's races into one super, kind of mixed up race. Are you in favour of racial inter-marriage and racial mixing and he said "well I believe in multiculturalism", of course that's the buzzword, it will come here sooner or later.'

Jaqen H'ghar is certainly a Faceless Man of Braavos, the most mysterious and costliest of assassins (I: 297). Whether Jaqen is merely another of his many guises or his true identity is an open question. Given the speculation that a Faceless Man assassinated Balon Greyjoy (see Prophecies), it is tempting to believe that Jaqen himself carried out this deed. However, given his appearance in Oldtown at the start of A Feast for Crows, the timeline may make this prohibitvely unlikely (see 6.2.9. Who is the alchemist in Oldtown?).
Why he was in the black cells is an open mystery. It seems unlikely that this was all part of his plan, so it seems likely that something went wrong. One possibility is that he was in fact Syrio, who rather than being killed was imprisoned (see 6.1.3. Is Syrio Dead?).
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

STOCKTON — Police arrested two juveniles after spotting a boy and a girl in a stolen vehicle about 3:40 p.m. Saturday near Pacific Avenue and Ben Holt Drive, authorities said.
The boy fled the scene but was apprehended on the north side of Ben Holt Drive after trying to climb onto the roof of a building, police said. The vehicle he was driving collided with a pole outside a gas station, causing minor property damage, authorities said.
The boy was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of burglary tools and resisting arrest, police said. The girl was cited and released to her parents, officials said.

David L Moore Star Route Big Arm, MT 59910 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 $ 4-83 NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND (TOREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 11 NUMBER 13 NEW MOON OF AUTUMN NOVEMBER 15, 1982 Nine-year-old case is over: Tribal sovereignty vindicated The U.S. Supreme Court voted 7-to-2 November 1 to leave intact a lower court's ruling that the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have authority to regulate structures on the shoreline of the southern portion of Flathead Lake. Tribal authority extends equally over Indian and non-Indian lake No dividend next month PABLO — You were forewarned about it last July: unless the income situation changed by December, there would be no winter per capita The situation has not changed since the summer, although there are one or two projects in the works. This being the case, the Council voted 6-3 November 2, to disapprove John McClure's motion to pay out a $100 per capita. Voting for the per capita were McClure, Noel Pichette, and E.W. Morigeau. The rest of the Council voted against it, except Elmo's Al Hewankom, who wasn't at the meeting. The motion and its subsequent failure caused tempers to flare, before it was decided to adjourn at 4:15 - but not before three councilmen said, "Be sure to put this in the paper:" John McClure - "Be sure you get the vote in Char-Koosta " Tom Pablo -- "Don't forget the GA angle . . ." whereby general assistance (Tribal welfare) recipients sometimes suffer loss of benefits due to per capitas. Vic Stinger -- "I think credit is due us for the ones employed by the Tribes." According to Executive Secretary Fred Houle, Jr., quoted in another paper, this will be the first time in 14 years that a December will pass without a per capita shore property owners. The November decision also shot down the city of Poison's contention that Congress had disestablished the Flathead Reservation in the early 1900's. The Shoreline Protection Board can now get down to the business of implementing the Tribes' five-year-old Ordinance 64A. Precisely what this will mean remains to be seen. One certain thing is that people wishing to construct anything alongside the Tribes' portion of the lake now have to seek a permit from the Tribes, instead of from Lake County. Also, a fee in lieu of taxes will be assessed The board is supposed to be discussing this last matter as this story is being written. Fred Houle, Jr., Executive Secretary for the Tribes, explained the Namen case's resolution during a Tribally sponsored radio show broadcast recently over four western Montana stations: "The Treaty of Hell Gate, and the minutes of the meetings held in Council Grove in 1855 discussing the treaty's provisions, clearly indicate that the Reservation, including the south half of Flathead Lake, was reserved for the exclusive use and occupancy of the Salish (or Flathead), the Kootenai, and the Pend rfOrielle people. Subsequent legislation and legislative history and several court decisions have consistently confirmed that the Reservation has not been disestablished, in spite of various attempts to do so, and that the Tribes are the beneficial owners of the south half of the Flathead Lake. "In 1973, when a Poison marina operator, without permission from any authority, dumped about 174,000 cubic feet of rock and dirt into Flathead Lake, the Tribes sued to protect (Continued on page 2)

DETROIT -- Josh Reddick's MRI results came out as good as the A's could have hoped. The right fielder doesn't have any more structural damage in his right knee, so his time on the disabled list should be relatively short.
"A lot depends on how he feels from day to day," manager Bob Melvin said. "We're still working on the timetable. There will probably be five or six days off the field, then get him back on."
Reddick originally injured the knee on June 1 and spent the next three weeks on the disabled list with what was described as a hyperextended right knee. He came back Tuesday against the Mets in New York and was feeling fine -- 5-for-11 with a triple and two RBIs in four games -- before he felt the pain return Saturday after making a throw to the infield against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. He took himself out of the game after one at-bat.
"It is a relief because after him having to pull himself out of the game (Saturday in Miami)," Melvin said. "This is better news.''
One of the top left-handed set-up relievers in the majors for four years before needing Tommy John surgery last year, O'Flaherty will throw in a game for Triple-A Sacramento Tuesday. The A's will have him come into an inning, presumably with men on base, because that's something he hasn't been doing as he's built up his arm strength.
Melvin said the only thing left for O'Flaherty after that would be back-to-back games, but the manager has said all along he didn't believe that was necessary for O'Flaherty.
Could he be activated on the next homestand?
"There's a chance for anything,'' Melvin said.
If he is activated then, that move would probably force the A's to send long man Jeff Francis to the minors, assuming they could get the left-hander through waivers. They could also move former closer Jim Johnson, now pitching in middle relief.
"Hopefully he will be able to play a game in this series,'' Melvin said. "Which one yet, I'm not sure.''
Norris got some good news on the All-Star voting front. He continues to be in second place among catchers and is making up ground on the Orioles' Matt Wieters, who is out for the year, needing Tommy John-style ligament replacement surgery.
Under MLB rules, if the starter voted in is injured, the league doesn't have to take the runner-up as a starter, or at all. Still, the possibility exists that Norris, who is first among AL catchers in on-base percentage (.400) and second in batting average (.299) and RBI (30) could be an All-Star.
"The two things that I dreamed about growing up were winning a World Series and playing in an All-Star Game," Norris said. "The fact that I possibly have a chance to do it in the same season is amazing.''
The A's manager wasn't on that team; he was on the Tigers' minor league team in Birmingham, Ala. But he knew them well. He made his major-league debut with the Tigers in 1985, the first of a 10-year career for Melvin.
"I came up behind a lot of those guys," Melvin said after spending some time in the interview room with the likes of Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell. "I was in spring training with them. So whether it's the (Kirk) Gibsons, the Whitakers, the Trammels, the (Jack) Morrises, the (Lance) Parrishes, I actually came up behind those guys and learned how to play the game of baseball from those guys.
"This was always a terrific organization. I'm certainly glad I came up in this organization as was able to learn the game watching these guys. And it's cool that I am here on this day when they are celebrating the 1984 team."

The Fox network on Monday announced a fall schedule that places the new Batman origin drama, "Gotham" in the Monday lead-off spot and reduces the animation overload on Sundays.
"Gotham," a Batman prequel featuring Ben McKenzie as Commissioner Gordon, figures to be one of the most anticipated series of the new fall season. It will air at 8 p.m., right in front of the fantasy hit, "Sleepy Hollow." Fox has ordered 16 episodes of "Gotham" and 18 of "Sleepy Hollow."
On Sundays, where animation has ruled for years, Fox is installing two live-action comedies. One is "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," the Andy Samberg police sitcom returning for its sophomore season. The other is "Mulaney," a show starring former "Saturday Night Live" writer John Mulaney as a stand-up comedian and Martin Short as his boss.
In other Fox developments, "Bones" is moving to Thursday nights, where it will be followed by "Gracepoint" (the American remake of "Broadchurch," a murder mystery starring David Tennant), and "Glee" is being held back until midseason.
Also scheduled for midseason are "The Following," "Backstrom," a comedy featuring Rainn Wilson ("The Office"), and "The Last Man on Earth," a sitcom fronted by Will Forte.
Other new shows for the fall include the reality series "Utopia," which sends 15 strangers to "an isolated underdeveloped location" for a year, and "Red Band Society," a medical drama starring Octavia Spencer as a nurse.
To make room for the new inventory, Fox has canceled "Almost Human," "Dads," "Enlisted," "Raising Hope," "Rake," "Surviving Jack" and "The X Factor."
Here's the Fox fall schedule with new shows in CAPS:
8 p.m. "GOTHAM"
9 p.m. "Sleepy Hollow"
8 p.m. "UTOPIA"
9 p.m. "New Girl"
9:30 p.m. "The Mindy Project"

Radiation therapy is the use of penetrating beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles called radiation to treat disease. Radiation therapy destroys the ability of cancer cells to grow and divide.
There are a few cases in which radiation may be used to treat multiple myeloma:
External radiation is used to treat multiple myeloma. In external radiation therapy, rays are directed at the tumor from outside the body. Treatments are given at a hospital or radiation center once a day, five days per week. The daily time spent receiving external therapy is short.
Radiation therapy does not cure multiple myeloma, but may be able to decrease symptoms.

At the Zoo's Reptile Discovery Center, you can experience the wonder and excitement of the reptilian and amphibian world.
Virtual Tour
The Zoo's Reptile Discovery Center exhibits about 70 species of reptiles and amphibians. Take a virtual tour to find out about the fascinating animals that live here, reptile adaptations, conservation issues, and other topics.
Click on the squares to learn about animals on exhibit, and click on the question marks to learn about a topic.
At the Zoo
The Reptile Discovery Center is an indoor exhibit, located on Olmsted Walk between the Great Ape House and Think Tank, and follows the Zoo building hours schedule.
Unlike most of the Zoo's other animals, the inhabitants of the Reptile Discovery Center won't be found outside during the wintertime. This is because cold-blooded creatures rely on the temperature of their surrounding environment to maintain their body temperature. They cannot withstand the cold, wintry weather that warm-blooded animals can.
Please note: To ensure that visitors can enjoy their experience on very busy days, building access is controlled. You may need to wait under a shaded canopy before entering the Discovery Center. If a line exists, you can ask the attendant controlling access for the estimated wait time.
