So, Saddam Hussein says he will allow U.N. weapons inspectors into his country, giving them "free and unfettered access" to sites suspected of holding weapons of mass destruction.
Are we to believe that all is well, that the Iraqi dictator has blinked and that war no longer is imminent?
Not for one second.
Saddam's decision to let the inspectors into Iraq should be treated like all the other "promises" he has made to the international community with regard to his weapons of mass destruction: with great suspicion.
The inspectors are set to enter Iraq on Monday. They will fan out and look for weapons caches. Iraqi officials say the inspectors will be able to tour all the sites suspected of containing such weapons.
Let us remember, though, that we've been down this mine-laden road before. Saddam has promised one thing only to renege and frustrate the inspectors who have been in his country to enforce the order of the cease-fire that ended the Persian Gulf War in 1991 - an agreement to which Saddam Hussein is a signatory.
What does this mean to the threat of a new war with Iraq? Time will tell. President Bush reportedly has a battle plan on his desk. Military planners are proceeding as if war is imminent. They are building up weapons and assembling troops.
Is war the first option? No. It never should be.
The goal is to disarm Iraq and to remove the threat of the hideous weapons its leaders are known to have used already on its own citizens.
The United Nations now is set to take the first tentative steps toward that end.
Do not, however, bet the mortgage that Saddam will deliver on his latest promise of "cooperation."

Hassan Ali Alfraj, 22, was arraigned on Oct. 8 before Saginaw County District Court Judge A.T. Frank on the charge that carries a maximum penalty of 4 years in prison.
Alfraj was also charged with assault and battery, a 93-day misdemeanor, and could face up to $2,500 in fines.
Alfraj was a SVSU student in 2011, according to school officials.
The school also has a record of another former student with the same first and last name but a different middle name than the man being charged.
Alfraj will appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 22, according to court documents.
Alfraj lives in the Saginaw Township apartment complex south of the SVSU campus that police were called to for a report of a fight on Saturday, Sept. 29, according to the Saginaw County Sheriff's Office.
Police said one victim sustained a stab wound and was transported to a hospital for treatment.

Pre-Season Skiing on Baldy
With a recent storm passing through Sun Valley, locals are gearing up for ski season in full force. The past few weeks have seen a lot of snow blowing up on Baldy and it's finally to the point where die-hard skiers and boarders alike can hike their way up to carve their first turns. With the mountain expecting to open on Thanksgiving, this weekend's dusting proved to be a great morale-booster for the people of Sun Valley, and they came out in droves to see what the storm added to the man-made base.
Conditions aren't perfect, but it's finally beginning to feel like ski season is upon us, with several runs covered in enough snow to allow for shredding, albeit with caution.
Starting on November 24th, Sun Valley will be hosting a camp for skiers to train before the mountain opens, and it looks like they are well under way to having everything prepared for the team. "It's great to see so many people excited about ski season. It gets my hopes up that it'll be an epic year," said Meggie Rose, local skier. Don't hesitate to go out and hike the River Run side this week, but remember not to send it too hard and to watch for hikers and dogs alike.
- If you have a great pair of beater skis, now's the time to use them. Although it is mid November, the mountain is skiing as if it were late spring, with exposed spots on runs like College having a nice, soft top layer and the shadier areas being East-Coast slick.
- Skins are not required! They have become the popular option for most skiers out there, but there's still something to be said about boot packing—give yourself a serious workout and strap an extra 50 lbs to your back to hike up. Appropriate footwear encouraged.
- The lifts are completely shut off to the public, so go up only as far as you are willing to come back down. Adjust the difficulty to your own personal needs.
- For going up, a few different options are available. You can hike River Run to Mid River, over to College OR River Run to Hershey Highway to College. The snow guns have been blowing enough that Upper to Lower College and Mid to Lower River Run are completely skiable, with Canyon looking like it could support a few turns. Ski at your own risk.
Skier's etiquette still applies, despite it being off-season. Hikers should generally stay to the side of the run as much as possible, and skiers must yield to the downhill skier/hiker.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Cole White extended his hitting streak to 13 games, but the State College Spikes fell to the Tri-City Valley Cats, 5-2, at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park Thursday.
White's two hits in his first two at-bats gave him the third-longest hit streak in the New York-Penn League.
Jeremy Farrell also produced a multi-hit game, going 2-for-4.
State College (7-21) fell behind in the second inning when Phil Disher led off with his sixth home run of the season.
Tri-City (11-18) added another run in the second, and one each in the third and fifth, before completing their scoring with a David Flores solo home run.
Butch Biela doubled to extend his own hitting streak to six games, and scored on a Quincy Latimore groundout.
Latimore also tripled to center field in the fifth and scored on a wild pitch.
3,109 fans as the Spikes tried for a valiant comeback in the late innings.
After putting runners on second and third with one out in the eighth, Jose Duran struck out Ciro Rosero and elicted a Latimore ground out to get out of the jam.
Wilson Ortiz (0-2) started for the Spikes and drew the loss.
Ortiz went four innings, giving up three runs on six hits while striking out two.
Yoffri Martinez finished the game for State College, lowering his ERA to 0.56 with three scoreless innings and racking up five strikeouts.
Ashton Mowdy (4-1) got the win for Tri-City with 2 1/3 innings of one-hit scoreless relief.
Mike Hacker picked up his fourth save in four tries with a scoreless ninth inning for the Valley Cats.
The Spikes and Valley Cats conclude their three-game series with a 7:05 p.m. game tonight at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
For the Spikes, it will be right-hander Ryan Kelly (0-1) starting on the mound.
Kelly went two scoreless innings to start a shutout win for the Spikes in Brooklyn on Saturday in his last outing.
Tri-City counters with Shane Wolf (0-1) on the hill. Wolf has a 2.86 ERA on the year and has struck out 19 batters in 22 innings, while only allowing three walks.

Where do kids get off stealing the afikoman and then demanding a gift for its return? The Talmud (Pesachim 109a) recommends taking away the matzot to keep the children awake. Later commentators suggest allowing children to hide the afikoman and giving them presents as a way to keep them involved in the Seder until the very end.
The mitzvah to light Shabbat candles derives from the Talmud: Rabbi Yehuda says, "Lighting a candle for Shabbat is not optional and is way of honouring the Shabbat" (Shabbat 25b).
Before electricity, Shabbat candles ensured that there would be some light in the house during the Shabbat and that no one would sit in darkness.
"My heart is in the east (mizrach) and I am at the end of the west." So lamented Yehuda Halevi, the greatest medieval Jewish poet.
The custom waiting to cut a boy's hair until he is three and having a party to celebrate - upshirin in Yiddish or halakeh in Arabic - symbolises the end of infancy and the start of doing mitzvot. The rabbis see three as the age when a child's parents should introduce him to the world of Torah.
Although we rarely find blood spots in eggs from supermarkets today, the custom to check every egg is still entrenched in observant Ashkenazi homes.
The Talmud (Chullin 64b) prohibits eating an egg with a blood spot if it might have been fertilised. But most chickens in industrial farms never see a rooster. Any blood spots in their eggs are from tissue irregularities.
Years ago I found myself at a Shabbat table in Jerusalem where the challah was actually thrown to the guests around the table. I was shocked. Since when were adults allowed to throw food?
Rabbi Yosef Karo author of the Shulchan Aruch explicitly forbids hurling bread. However, he also says that one should not place it directly into another's hands, for that is how one treats mourners.
What makes a great sage? Breadth or depth? Loads of knowledge or penetrating insight? In the words of the Talmud, "What is preferable? Sinai or oker harim?" Sinai means a scholar with an encyclopedic mind, as though he/she had been present at the giving of the Torah.
Tu Bishvat, the New Year for trees, has implications for when to give tithes and other agricultural offerings but otherwise the day was not very widely noticed.
After hagbah, the one who lifted the Torah sits down with it and the someone else steps forward to do gelilah. This involves rolling the two ends of the Torah scroll together to meet in the middle, then dressing the Torah in its velvet robes and silver breastplate, bells and pointer.
Gelilah has a reputation as a second-class mitzvah, though this is thoroughly undeserved.
Hagbah is one of the most dramatic and potentially heart-stopping moments in the synagogue service. After the Torah reading, the heavy scrolls are raised high in the air for all to see.

'Life With Archie' to kill off Riverdale's favorite son in penultimate issue
(CBR) For three years, writer Paul Kupperberg has spent a "Life With Archie." But come this July, he'll be ending that life.
Archie Comics announced today that the magazine format comic series that chronicled two potential futures for Archie will end this summer with the death of the series star. And while "Life With Archie's" parallel story lines where the famed redhead married either Betty or Veronica may make it seem like a tough trick to kill Archie in a definitive sense, Kupperberg told CBR that in the two-part finale running in issues #36 and 37 the end will include just that.
Below, the writer explains to CBR News how "Life With Archie" #36 will work to present an iconic end to the life of Riverdale's favorite son while #37 will focus on his remaining friends and family, and he tells what the loss means for the entire series, the Archie line and the stories he's been building for years.
CBR News: Paul, let's start with the obvious. This is a big move for both the series and Archie as a character. What was your initial feeling on the idea of our hero dying, and how did it jibe with where you felt the series was going/had gone?
Paul Kupperberg: I was in a story conference with [Archie CEO] Jon Goldwater, [Editor-in-Chief] Victor Gorelick, and [President] Mike Pellerito talking about where we wanted to go for the end of "Life With Archie" and Jon said, "Why don't we do something we've never done with Archie before?" We'd already taken Archie and the gang to a lot of new places over the course of the last three years, but when he said "Let's do the death of Archie," I really thought he was kidding. Even after he'd convinced us he wasn't and we started discussing the why and how of his death, Jon didn't entirely commit to it. He wanted to think on it before giving me the go-ahead, and it took a couple of months and a revision or two of my six-month overview before he thought we'd nailed the direction and gave me the okay. But it really did fit in and make sense with the direction we'd been going in for a while, starting with Clay getting shot in "LWA" #22 and then the mall shooting in #30.
Comic book deaths are a funny thing. It's an instantaneous attention-getter for longtime readers and casual readers alike, but they also almost demand a very iconic moment that sums up the character in some way. How does this story meet those expectations in a unique fashion with ol' Archie Andrews?
Not to hurt myself patting myself on the back, but I think -- I hope -- Archie's death is one of those iconic moments. Archie is in character right up to that final moment, reacting exactly the way I think anybody who's ever written him would have had him react in the situation, and then I end on a twist on what I think is one of the truly indelible iconic images from the series history.
From a logistical standpoint, this is kind of tricky because "Life With Archie" has always told TWO potential future stories for the Riverdale gang. What do you say to readers who are worried that Archie will die in one timeline but live out a happy destiny in the other?
Yeah, that really was the tricky part, but I think we found a way to kind of merge the two story lines for that climatic issue so that there's no doubt the death is the finale for both timelines. It took a bit of finesse, but it was more a matter of staging than anything else to tell the story of that last day without pointing definitively to one or the other and say "this is from the Betty continuity, or that's taken from the Veronica story."
Looking at the stories of the book themselves, both serials have a lot going on that will presumably lead toward this finale. In the "Archie Marries Veronica" strip, Veronica has been framed for corruption charges, Kevin Keller is fighting corruption in the senate, and things in general feel rather high stakes. How does the trial this is all centering around drive towards the series finale?
Again, all roads in both stories were set up in such a way as to take us to that moment. We've always had a bit of crossover between the two serials, starting with Jughead owning the Chocklit Shoppe in both. Sure, the details of his life are different in the two story lines, like whether he's with Midge or Ethel or the appearance of his sister Jellybean or whatever, but the Jughead's Chocklit Shoppe is a constant in both strips. The same with Kevin and Clay, including Kevin's senate race and Clay having been shot. Their story crosses the line between the Bettyverse and the Ronnieverse, so I used those constants to anchor the story in #36.
Of course over in "Archie Marries Betty," the couple is having marital problems amidst some personal milestones for some of the rest of the cast. Do you anticipate wrapping all the major arcs for these events in the lead up to issue #36?
More or less, yeah. A lot of "LWA" #36 is Archie's introspection over where life has taken him up to this point, his coming to terms with the ups and downs of being a grown-up in general and a married grown-up in particular. Real life is a rollercoaster, a series of events good and bad that come at us at a fairly fast clip, and while the good may outweigh the bad at some points, or the bad outweigh the good, it's never black or white, but always a shade of gray. Except for the third story arc where we had the Bettyverse and the Ronnieverse meet, I've always tried to keep "LWA" grounded as firmly in reality as possible. I mean, the two Archies story line was fun, but after it was over we all agreed that it wasn't the right way to go for this series. What made "LWA" work was the reality and how readers connected with the ups and downs of Archie and the gang.
There have been shared events between the two universes since the beginning of "Life With Archie" -- the appearance of Sam Hill being the most recent. Ultimately, what do the ways these stories have grown alongside each other say about Archie as a franchise and Riverdale as a fictional world? Kupperberg on "Life with Archie" and His New Kevin Keller Novel
I think the Archie universe is limitless. Archie Comics has been proving this pretty much on a monthly basis since the original "Married Life" story arc in "Archie" #600-605 by Michael Uslan and Stan Goldberg, with Kevin Keller, and with all the stories they've done since, right on through to "Afterlife With Archie," which is kicking everybody's expectations of what an Archie Comic can be in the butt, even more so than "LWA" did. And the fact that these out-of-the-box stories have gathered Eisner, Harvey, and GLAAD Award nominations and wins shows that this is what the readers want to see. There will always be room for the traditional teen Archie stories, but readers want these characters to grow up some along with them so they can keep on reading them past childhood.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Retro / Vintage, Hipster, Mod, Funky, Casual
What materials did you use? I used cottons from my stash (didn't really make a dent in it), wadding, stiff interfacing, calico for the lining. An old belt from the Opportunity shop for the Buckle!
What are you most proud of? I love this. I was so unsure of the colour choices I made but I am really pleased with the outcome. I did large orange strips but didn't like them so I puffed them out with wadding and that made a huge difference to the whole appearance. The animal print comes from the main fabric choice because there are giraffes, leopards, and tigers as well as pinks, purples and oranges. How do you deal with that??? This bag evolved as I went along, I am really happy with it.

In addition to our regular worship services, Bible studies, and ministry activities, we share our building with our community in the following ways:
Three Alcoholics Anonymous groups hold weekly meetings.
Together We Bake uses the church kitchen to provide workforce training for women in need of a second chance.
Offender Aid and Restoration, a community based restorative justice organization, uses church space for meetings.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- The defense attorney in the Stephen Nodine murder case is expected to ask a Baldwin County Circuit judge to rule this week that a defense forensics expert attend any future examinations of evidence.
A hearing is scheduled at 9 a.m. Wednesday before Judge Charles Partin on a motion filed last month. Attorney Pascal Bruijn filed the request after Baldwin County District Attorney Hallie Dixon refused to agree to a defense specialist attending examinations of evidence in the death last year of Nodine's longtime girlfriend Angel Downs. Dixon has said that her office will meet legal requirements, but will not allow "interference" in the investigation.
Nodine, a former Mobile County commissioner, is accused of fatally shooting 45-year-old Downs, who was found May 9, 2010, outside her Gulf Shores home suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. She died shortly thereafter. In December, a mistrial was declared after a Baldwin County jury failed to reach a verdict on murder and stalking charges.
Dixon has not announced whether the case will be retried.
Last week, Nodine pleaded guilty to a Mobile County misdemeanor drug charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping felony charges in the marijuana case. Mobile County Circuit Judge Sarah Stewart traveled from Mobile to hear the plea in Baldwin County. She gave Nodine a one-year suspended jail sentence and two years of informal probation.
Nodine is serving a 15-month prison sentence for a federal conviction on a gun charge but, as of Friday, was still being held at the Baldwin County Corrections Center in Bay Minette, where he was sent April 25 following his sentencing.

Remembering why Stan was the man
Spring training games will soon give way to the regular baseball season, which means summer can't be far behind. This season will be different, however, and perhaps even a bit sadder because of the death on Jan. 19 of one of the game's all-time greatest players, Stan Musial.
A lot of people under the age of 50 might scratch their heads and ask, "Who in the world was Stan Musial?" Let me explain.
Yes, Musial played in his last big-league game in 1963 -- nearly 50 years ago. But for the rest of his life he remained an integral part of baseball, not as a coach, front office executive or broadcaster, but as a representative of the game.
When he spoke at a local banquet in the late 1960s, Musial was one of the first people this teenage sportswriter at the time was assigned to interview. He was a seven-time batting champion and a Hall of Famer, but he could not have been more gracious as he gave serious, considered answers to my questions.
Musial had served for one year as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, the team for which he played for 22 seasons. The Cards won the World Series in 1967, but Musial resigned a short time later.
Asked why, he said, "Professional sports is a tough business, and even though we had the best team in baseball, I knew that difficult decisions lay ahead. Some starters would have to be traded or cut to make way for promising younger players, and I just didn't have the heart to move the veterans out. I'd rather enjoy the game as a fan."
An astute businessman who made millions, Musial remained close to the Cardinals for the rest of his life -- as an unofficial goodwill ambassador.
In 1988, when the Cardinals hosted a playoff game, I drove my father-in-law, Vic Rotunda, and his friend Moses D'Onofrio to St. Louis. As we parked in the lot at our hotel, Musial pulled into the space next to us.
Vic and Moses jumped out of the car and embraced Musial, shaking his hand and telling him how much he meant to them. Smiling the entire time, Musial must have signed a dozen autographs for their friends back in Erie. Stan even pulled an old bat from the trunk of his car for them to hold as I snapped a photo of the happy group.
It was the perfect way to start what turned out to be a memorable trip.
The last time I saw Musial was before the first game of the 1999 World Series in New York when the best 25 players of the 20th century -- living and deceased -- were honored. Of course, Musial was there, along with Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax and the rest.
One player who was not included was the late Pittsburgh Pirates star Roberto Clemente. It was an oversight, and Clemente's fans were outraged. Somehow they got it in their heads that Musial had been selected over Clemente, which was preposterous -- Musial had been the best hitter in the National League for 15 seasons.
But Musial, who was 79 at the time, went out of his way to meet with the angriest protesters to share his memories of Clemente. His flattering words helped soothe their injured feelings.
I remember thinking what a good guy Musial was.
It's exactly what baseball needs today: great players who are also good guys. But there aren't too many like Stan Musial.

Each chapter will cover a different area of the house, acknowledging the diversity of layouts in today's homes. For example, one chapter will focus on spaces for cooking, eating, and socializing to appeal both to people with a formal dining area and those with more open floor plans, with a design that is about comfort, entertaining, and practicality. Other chapters include: intimate bedroom spaces featuring beautiful and efficient storage for a sensual environment that becomes a sanctuary; living/family rooms with the kind of versatility that allows them to convert from game-playing rumpus rooms to elegant cocktail party spaces; luxurious bathrooms that provide a spa-like getaway from stress while also conserving energy and water; home offices/entryways/laundry rooms; and outdoor spaces that can serve as two- or three-season rooms for entertaining and relaxing.
I'm writing this book because of all the people who come up to me at events, or write me, saying things like, "I wish I could make my kitchen look like the one on your last show," or, "If only I could have you work on my living room!" You don't need me in person. You don't need anybody else. You need my perspective and my method. My method is what I call "Carter's Way." It's a process that has worked for me in dozens of different rooms and homes. Now I want it to work for you!

Centralized Processing of Returned BNC Mail
In October, the Judiciary's Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) contractor will begin accepting, processing and securely disposing of notices that would otherwise be returned to the bankruptcy courts by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The service will eliminate nearly all manual processing of returned mail currently performed by court personnel and will provide timely notification to debtors' attorneys of returned notices.
Currently, BNC returned mail goes either to the court or to debtors' attorneys. As a cost-savings and efficiency measure, bankruptcy courts have been strongly urged to have most returned mail sent to the debtor's attorney, which provides notice that a better address for such recipient should be provided to the court. This procedure is not changing. What does change, however, is that those pieces of mail that are currently directed for return to the bankruptcy courts will now be handled in one facility through the new centralized return mail program.
Under the terms of the revised contract, the BNC contractor will have two business days from receipt to process the returned mail, and the contractor's system will autogenerate a Notice of Returned Mail email notification to the debtor's attorney, with a copy of the notice as a PDF attachment, advising of the returned mail by the USPS. If no attorney email address is available or if the debtor is pro se, the Notice of Returned Mail will be sent by U.S. mail to the attorney or pro se debtor, as appropriate.
Beginning in October, debtors' attorneys will start to receive returned mail in bankruptcy cases in two different ways: regular USPS mail for the majority of items where the return address is the debtor's attorney, and email Notices of Returned Mail for returned mail that would have been sent back to the bankruptcy court.
Questions on the new process or on particular items of returned mail can be directed to the Clerk's Office at 505-348-2500 or toll free at 866-291-6805. You can also contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

• To evaluate the contribution of an isolated femoral venous valve to venous hemodynamics, ten patients (12 limbs) who had undergone femoral valve transposition without saphenous vein stripping or ligation of perforators were followed up for 12 to 18 months after surgery. Ascending and descending venography were performed to document anatomic patency. Dynamic venous pressures and venous refilling times were recorded to evaluate muscle pump function and cutaneous congestion, respectively. Signs of venous hypertension and the need for elastic support were noted. No patient attained normal venous pressure at any time after surgery. Normalization of venous refilling time was transient: nine of 12 limbs had reverted to preoperative abnormal levels at 12 to 18 months and all required elastic support. Femoral valve reconstruction performed alone for venous stasis is not sufficient. In postthrombotic venous ulcer, incompetent calf perforators remain a central problem.

An Autonomous Haredi State: Having Their Cake and Eating It Too
Latest update: April 22nd, 2013
The Haredi publication Hamodia (as reported by The Jewish Press) has called for establishment of their own autonomous zone in Israel. The feel that they have been mistreated.
Here is how the Times of Israel put it:
As the Knesset works on legislation that could see most ultra-Orthodox men required to serve in the IDF or other national service frameworks, and planned budget cuts threaten the community's already strained economy, Hamodia, the mouthpiece of the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Yisrael party, suggested self-rule was the best answer to unwanted secular intrusion.
Autonomy means independent administrative rule for internal matters without sovereign political status, with legal and financial independence and police, but without an army or foreign policy.
I find this approach to be both intriguing and at the same time very self serving. And frankly somewhat humorous. I have always thought that places like Meah Shearim ought to be given what they want – complete independence from the State of Israel. They don't think that the Jewish people have a right to their own state pre-Moshiach? That's fine. Give them Meah Shearim and they can give it to which ever non-Jews they choose to live under. I hear that there are some Palestinians that might be interested.
But this is different. Hamodia isn't talking about only the rejectionist Jews of Meah Shearim. They are talking about all Haredim – including those who have in the past worked with the government.
And they aren't talking about seceding from Israel. They are talking about living there autonomously. They want to build a society of their own. They claim to have the ability to build their own infrastructure. They will have their own judicial system; their own political system; their own electric companies, roads, water works… and everything else necessary for a society to function independently. They look to Haredi cities likes Bnei Brak and Beitar as their models for success.
Really? Hamodia thinks that a society that does not educate their children in anything but Torah study will enable them to build a society that functions? Where are they going to get people with the expertise to build all of the necessary components of a modern society? The engineers, the doctors, the dentists, the lawyers, the accountants, the urban planners, the police, the judges and the myriad other trained people who will be qualified to do the things that a city needs to function? From Brisk?
But let us grant that they will somehow find a way. Maybe they will change the paradigm a bit to allow some of their students to learn those disciplines so that they can have such a society. (Although I doubt it.)
But here is the problem. They still want army protection. That is the advantage of having autonomy. You can then eat your cake and have it too. They will graciously allow secular and Dati Leumi Israelis to put their lives on the line for them. Isn't this what the whole debate is about in the first place?!
It does not cease to amaze me how clueless some of these people are. How can they think that this would in any way be acceptable? How will this new autonomous entity share the burden? Maybe they think this is all about money… that their offer to live autonomously means that they will relieve the Israeli taxpayer of the burden of supporting them. I don't know… that is an enticing concept. But if so, where will they get the money to replace what they receive now? How will this under-educated (aside from Torah knowledge) class with little marketable skills survive?
The only way their sincerity about living autonomously can be tested is if we require them to have their own army. That would be fair. Without it… all this amounts to is formalizing the status quo with respect to sharing the burden. Only they will be doing so in the form of an autonomous state. Why would the government of Israel want to do that? In my view it would be an act of true humanitarian nature to deny this option to them. Because they will surely fail – even if they are granted protection by the IDF.
What about Bnei Brak or Beitar? I doubt they could exist as autonomous states. Don't they realize that?

The instructions for Row 3 include "fbdc around next bpdc." I am not familiar with at an fbdc is nor does it seem to be in any terminology books for crocheting. Is this supposed to be fpdc or bpdc?

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
It was a Saturday in August of 2005. Family, friends and team mates of San Antonio Spurs guard, Stephen Jackson and his fiancé Imani Showalter were all in Houston to witness the wedding of the happy couple. Unfortunately, that wedding didn't happen. Word is just hours before the nuptials were to take place, as Imani was getting dressed, Jackson hit her with a 300 page (some sources say it was only 50 pages) prenup and when she refused to sign it, the wedding was cancelled. Rumor has it that Imani had been putting off signing the pre-nup for a while and of course the day everything is supposed to go down, all hell breaks lose when the paperwork is still not signed. So much for being a basketball wife.
Granted, it was kind of harsh he brings a pre-nup to you the day of your wedding but you love him right? You weren't just marrying him for the money were you, because that would make you a gold digger and that would make all the judgmental remarks to Draya completely null and void.
Now if that wasn't enough tea, rumor has it that the pre-nup wasn't the only reason Stephen called the wedding off. Word is, Imani lied about her age AND the number of children she had. Imani and Stephen have a daughter together named Taylor. Stephan was only aware of one other child that Imani had. Well apparently, Imani had yet another child who was actually living with the father's family. Yes, allegedly Imani ditched her child to go catch her a baller. Not so different from Draya now are we?
Now let's talk about the age thing. Supposedly Imani told Stephen she was 27 when she was really closer to 34. Yikes! Stephen's mom wasn't much of a fan of hers. She said she would die if her son married Imani. Apparently she had a panic attack at the wedding and acting a crazed fool. Welp, lucky for her the wedding never went on. Mama knows best I suppose.
Everybody got a little dirt but Imani was throwing a ridiculous amount of shade last night. Imani spent a lot of time on the whole "stripping" thing. We'll call Imani the Judgmental Wife. Unfortunately, she probably shouldn't be pointing too many fingers when her hands aren't clean. You're judging Draya because she stripped? Well ma'am, maybe you should have stripped and kept your hands out of Stephen's pockets. Maybe you would be married right now. Maybe.

If my mindframe was young, I was still hot as hell in the ass, and not a responsible parent and it came down to that the first person I would leave my child with would be there daddy, because he is a great father and I know that would be best for my kid. If my mindframe was young, I was still hot as hell in the ass, and not a responsible parent is still do not believe I would ever leave my baby by himself in a feces infested apartment with kid cuisine so I can run around for some d***. I would never deny my child, no need to lie about my age( cause people do look at your driver license) but if the pre-nup is not protecting me in the longer run, I would not have signed that s*** either. I would have MY lawyer negotiate that s*** for the best of MY interest and not waited till the wedding day, I would have dug for my gold before we made it to the alter.

Have I made a terrible mistake?
Sorry, this is going to sound like a rant but I really do want to get this working. My previously gentoo-base studio machine died, and I've had to rebuild with hardware sufficiently different to warrant a reinstall. Not wanting to go down the path of several days of compilation I thought that 64studio might be a good way to go. I am using the 3.0 beta3 so maybe this is my issue. So far I have been plagued by problems: My rt2500 WiFi card is not recognised. I can't seem to find exactly which sources are used for my kernel. Even if I was to find the sources, I can't find any references to the .config file used by the 64studio developers so I can grab this and modify it. JACK won't start. Ardour won't see my Tascam US-428 under the ALSA drivers (it does appear in /proc/asound/cards). I can't actually tell if ALSA knows I have the 428 (and thus four input ports). I'm getting nowhere fast. I have managed to download the linux headers claimed to be the ones needed by module-assistant to create the rt2500 driver, but m-a still fails. I guess I need the full kernel sources (plus that .config). I'm confused as to why this seems so much more complex than under the supposedly geek-oriented gentoo. Sorry for the whinge, is there a comprehensive source of documentation for this kind of thing somewhere I have missed?
Thanks, Quentin. I've currently reverted to Gentoo because I'm in a hurry to get productive again (paradox!) - but I intend to keep an eye on 64studio to see if there comes a good point to switch over.
Hi Mesa Virga, We are alpha testing a new kernel, coming to the beta repositories soon. A lot of the up to now unsupported wireless interfaces are supported, so it will be a welcome addition to 3.0 Watch this space...

WAILUKU — A Kahului tax preparer and a Makawao Realtor have been charged with failing to file annual general excise tax returns for multiple years.
James A. Ericson was charged with failing to file returns for 2002 to 2005 in a complaint filed April 15 in Wailuku District Court, according to a news release from the state Department of Taxation. Ericson, who has an office in Kahului, is an accountant and tax preparer known as "The Tax Guy."
In a separate complaint, the department said Albert V. Chiarella, president of Al Chiarella Inc., is charged with failing to file the company's general excise tax returns for 2001 to 2005. Chiarella is a Realtor with an office in Makawao. Chiarella's attorney, Benjamin Lowenthal, said he could not comment on the pending charges on Thursday.
Ericson and Chiarella have court appearances scheduled for May 22 in Wailuku District Court.
Failing to file a return is a misdemeanor. A conviction could result in a fine of up to $25,000, up to one year in jail or probation.

Ndamukong Suh got caught up in the moment and his paycheck is a little lighter because of it.
Early in the second quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, Suh burst through the Bucs offense line and dropped running back Bobby Rainey for a three-yard loss.
The star defensive tackle celebrated the play with a quick throat-slash gesture, an action the league banned in 1999.
The league fined Suh $7,875 for the gesture, his third fine this season.
He had previously been docked $100,000 for an illegal low block against Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan in Week 1 and $31,500 for roughing Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden in Week 6.
The NFL did not fine Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley or Tampa Bay safety Mark Barron for penalized hits on the quarterback.
Fairley was flagged for going low on Mike Glennon, but replays showed the defensive tackle actually hit the Bucs quarterback in the thigh.
Barron was assessed a 15-yard infraction for a late hit on Stafford. The quarterback was actually shoved by another defender shortly after releasing a pass and collided with the second-year safety.

For the life of me, I can't fathom how Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, and his fellow Democrats can find "justified and fair" the giving of state-funded financial aid to illegal immigrants for college education.
It is certainly not justified and fair to the taxpayers of California. It flouts both common sense and the rule of law.
What are illegal immigrants doing in college in the first place? Then the federal "Dream Act" would provide illegals with citizenship if — guess what — they attend school, now with state-funded financial aid.
What is wrong with this state? What is it about "illegal" that they don't understand? They are simply buying votes at our expense. Some dream.

For years of giving to the community, U.S. Rep. Thomas A. Marino, R-Cogan Station, recognized Kyle Toner, a 13-year-old student at Jersey Shore Area Middle School, Monday.
Toner, an eighth-grade student, was given a certificate of appreciation by Marino for holding an annual blanket collection to distribute to county residents in need.
Five years ago, Toner was feeling the winter chill and he begun asking questions about what those without homes do during the winter. After discussing it with his parents, Toner decided to begin collecting blankets.

JOSEPH STENDER/ Sun-Gazette
Kyle Toner, 13-year-old Jersey Shore student, was recognized by U.S. Rep. Thomas A. Marino, R-Cogan Station, for collecting and distributing more than 1,000 blankets during the past five years.
"I was cold. I don't know what made me think about (starting a collection)," Toner said.
"I thought it was great," Toner's mother Jodi said. "I thought if people would respond to it, (it would be helpful)."
What started with 67 blankets that first year, now has grown to Toner collecting 520 last year.
The collection saw a dip in amount this past year with only 330, but Toner - who hopes to work in professional baseball when he's older - expects to be back on track next year. He said with so many groups and individuals collecting supplies for those affected by Superstorm Sandy, he wasn't able to get as many.
After collecting the blankets, they are distributed through a variety of organizations, including the Salvation Army, the Rescue Workers and the American Red Cross.
Marino said he appreciated Toner's work as he understands that there are those who need extra help.
"I really am proud of you and commend you for what you have been doing," Marino told Toner.
And as next year comes around, Toner may have a little extra help.
"Keep me in mind," Marino said.
Marino offered to put an announcement out to colleagues and on his website, along with donating to the collection.
"I'll be more than glad to help you," he told Toner.
Toner has collected 1,132 blankets over the past five years.

The discovery of insulin made it necessary to publish a second edition of this book, the first appearing in 1922. Petrin uses the high fat and low protein diet, which is known as the Newburgh diet in this country. The good results are explained by Snapper's (Amsterdam) work on the secretory function of the kidney. By giving the kidney a rest from the secretion of nitrogen waste products, it is easier to take care of the beta oxidation of oxybuteric acid, diacetic acid and acetone. In this way, acidosis is prevented. Insulin, he believes, should be used only in coma and when the blood sugar does not come down to normal when the patient is on a maintenance diet.

Family-Friendly Thanksgiving Televisionsandymaple
The turkey has been cooked, carved and consumed. The dishes and dessert are done and you've got a house full of drowsy adults and bored kids. What are you going to do next?
You could go to bed and rest up for the Black Friday frenzy. Or, you could do what we do and cuddle up on the couch to watch movies together.
You don't even have to run out and spend money at the video store. The major networks and cable channels have scheduled some great family-friendly fare to get you through the night.
Here's what's on:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – The movie that started it all in 1937, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," was Disney's first full-length animated feature. It looks a little different than what kids are used to these days, but it's a classic the whole family can enjoy together. 4:30/3:30 pm Central on ABC Family
Charlie Brown Thanksgiving – It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang. This holiday classic originally aired in 1973 and has been a family favorite ever since. We've seen it a million times, but we keep coming back for more. 8/7 pm Central on ABC.
Beauty and the Beast – The 1991 Disney classic may not be a traditional holiday film, but it's got great music, lots of laughs and a storyline that appeals to kids and adults. 6:30/5:30 pm Central on ABC Family.
Miracle on 34th Street – Get in the holiday spirit with the perennial favorite, "Miracle on 34th Street." 8:30/7:30 pm Central on ABC Family.
Punkin Chunkin 2010 – Here's something a little different. Watch pumpkins fly through the air and splat on the ground in the annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin competition. Sounds like good, messy fun! 8/7 pm Central on The Science Channel
Of course, no list of Thanksgiving television would be complete without the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. That kicks off at 9/8 am Central on CBS and features live performances by artists including kid faves Big Time Rush and Victoria Justice. New floats to look for this year include Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Kung Fu Panda.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic performed the first successful near-total face transplant on a patient in the United States, it was revealed Wednesday.
Dr. Maria Siemionow, the head of plastic surgery research at the clinic, announced some details of the transplant at a press conference – although the identities of both the transplant recipient, who suffered severe facial trauma (including missing skin, bone and eyelids), and the donor, a deceased woman, remain private.
However, Siemionow did reveal that the recipient's family sent a gracious note, thanking the donor's family, which she read at the press conference. "Thanks to the wonderful person who donated herself," the letter read. "[The recipient] has a chance to lead a normal life."
And Siemionow says the recipient herself, while beginning her recovery process, is aware of her new face – even though she has not seen it.
"The patient has limited vision," Siemionow said during the press conference. "She still is quite swollen. She will be able to recognize faces soon."
The doctor noted "how happy [the patient] was [that] with both her hands she could go over her face and feel that she has a full face in front of her."
Dr. Chad Gordon confirmed that the patient indicated she was feeling all right following the surgery by giving a "thumbs up," which he told reporters was the "first indication that she was comfortable."
"She's been speaking to us very slightly and most of her communication is through writing," he said. "She has expressed high satisfaction with the status of the operation."
Doctors confirm that the facial transplant recipient is a United States citizen.
The surgery was conducted two weeks ago. Doctors in France and China have completed similar transplants in the past three years, though many note the ethical controversies these surgeries raise.

In business, we're supposed to have a backup plan. We're supposed to have redundancy. And we're supposed to be penalized if we fail. All the examples listed above show that none of those things are happening.
So why not? One reason is that businesses and our government no longer put a proper value on risk. That thing that has a 1% chance of happening? It's no longer factored into the cost/benefit analysis, instead it's thrown out.
There are two major problems with this.
First, we have to question how that 1% was arrived at to begin with. We like to think that scientists and statisticians somewhere did a thorough risk analysis to come up with that probability. But if the banking industry is any indication, it's more likely that someone was paid to arrive at a 1% probability. Just as likely, that number was an educated guess.
Second, even when 1% is considered, it's not properly valued. Looking back and knowing that there was even a 1% chance of that oil rig collapsing out in the Gulf, would BP have made the investment, knowing the cost to plug the hole and clean up the mess is now running at $6 million per day? And that's just their piece, without factoring in the costs that will be incurred in the fishing, freight, and tourism industries, not to mention costs incurred by individuals. Would BP factor those into an analysis? Not likely, but hopefully getting sued to the brink this time around will force them into thinking about it next time.
So why don't we put a proper value on risk? One good reason is greed, which we've cleverly renamed optimism. We continue to be a society focused on the quick dollar. Most people don't stay at a job for more than 4 or 5 years, so long term thinking no longer comes into play. To add to that, most organizations compensate far more lavishly to identify opportunity than they do to identify risk.
The government could certainly do more to change this way of thinking, such as tightening regulations, or simply stop watching porn, but society as a whole ultimately needs to change. Looking at our stock portfolios now and realizing they look exactly the same as they did ten years ago might turn a light bulb on. But one thing is for certain, until we start focusing on that 1%, we are 99% screwed.

A cruise around Charleston Harbor can be entertaining, breathtaking and pulsating. It also can set a boater back $50 to fill up the diesel tank.
But what if the same trip could take place for $5 in fuel expenses, or even at no cost?
That's the promotional pitch for Greenline, which bills itself as "the first true hybrid yacht." Based in Slovenia, the boat's manufacturer started developing the diesel-electric vessel in 2006 and kicked off production a few years later.
The hybrid hadn't been sold locally, but that's changing this month.
Charleston-based St. Barts Yachts placed an order for a Greenline 33-foot model that's set to arrive here in mid-November. The yacht dealer's sales territory covers the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee.
Chuck Laughlin, owner and president of St. Barts Yachts, described the Greenline as "the most successful 33-footer in the last four years."
Greenline has crafted 330 vessels of that length since 2009. "That's phenomenal," he said. St. Barts Yachts also intends to sell 40-foot Greenline models and, eventually, 48 footers.
Laughlin said the boats operate similar to automobile gas- or diesel-electric vehicles. "It's a hybrid like a Chevy Volt or a (Toyota) Prius," he said. "It's the only (yachting) hybrid out there now." The watercraft is "very quiet," he said. "You just hear the interaction between the hull and the water."
The 33-foot Greenline supports a diesel engine and not-so-heavy 165 pound battery pack that supplies the electric power. The 40-footer showcases a similar layout to the shorter vessel but boasts two diesel engines and two battery systems.
"We can do up to 20 nautical miles," – roughly 23 standard miles – "and fill up essentially for free," Laughlin said.
The electricity bill of powering a yacht amounts to 10 percent of the diesel fuel rate, he said. Laughlin estimated that a Charleston Harbor trip would use 10 gallons of boat diesel fuel, which at $5 a gallon would be $50. The same trip on all-electric fuel would be $5, he said. In some cases, the out-of-pocket cost is zero since some marinas roll the expense into the slip fee, he said.
Laughlin, who's also the Beneteau yacht dealer for a four state territory, didn't disclose the Greenline's exact price. But he pegged it as "about the same" as a 34-foot Beneteau trawler.
Expected buyers, he said, would include boaters who like the Greenline's roominess for entertaining while also appreciating the yacht's eco-friendly design, he said.
Laughlin foresees the fuel-efficient yacht proving popular with boaters tackling the Great Loop, a mostly circular, scenic route of the eastern U.S. tracing the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, inland canals, the Great Lakes, Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.
SeaWay, the Greenline manufacturer, started as a large Eastern European engineering firm specializing in nautical projects. It branched from there into developing the hybrid yacht, Laughlin said.
To give enthusiasts the chance to experience a hybrid yacht, St. Barts Yachts will be setting up rides starting around Thanksgiving through early December, Laughlin said.
"The fact that you can come out of the slip and go to Fort Sumter (and all around Charleston Harbor) and never use a drop of diesel is amazing."

Young musicians to perform at recital
Talented teen musicians from Vashon High School and McMurray Middle School bands will perform a solo and ensemble recital at 6:30 p.m. Wedesday, April 13 at Vashon Methodist Church.
The recital will showcase a select group of young musicians — including a record number of sixth graders who performed solos, duets and in small ensembles at a recent regional competition — and those who will compete later in the month at the State Solo/Ensemble Competition in Ellensburg.
High school students who are going to the state contest this year include Brooks Benner on alto bass clarinet, Aiden Morrison on classical guitar, Peyton Levin on multiple percussion, and 2010 state multiple percussion champion Dylan Greene on mallets.
The VHS Percussion Ensemble will also return to the competition this year.
The concert on Wednesday, April 13 will be a chance to listen to the percussion ensemble and other accomplished young musicians — and support the vibrant music scene led by Ken Quehrn at Vashon High School and McMurray.
Admission is by donation, with all proceeds going to help defray the costs of the band programs.

ChannelAdvisor has launched a paid-search marketing service designed to help online sellers manage campaigns across multiple search engines. Through a single user interface, SearchAdvisor enables online businesses to manage, automate and optimize their search marketing efforts across top search engines including Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.com.
ChannelAdvisor spokesperson Ashley Jones said SearchAdvisor is a separate module that merchants can get to from ChannelAdvisor Merchant. There are monthly subscription and commission fees, and Jones said some of the company's eBay merchants have begun using the new service.
Key features include the ability to tie-in to inventory, out-of-stock alerts, and advanced optimization rules that include margin-based bid-management on actual product costs.
ChannelAdvisor CEO Scot Wingo said, "By factoring product inventory and margin into the search marketing equation, SearchAdvisor allows etailers to focus on the optimization of profitable inventory-oriented keywords and utilize paid search as a sales channel versus just for marketing."
SearchAdvisor's features include integrated campaign management; bulk campaign upload; automated bid management; "create and manage" bidding rules; multi-channel reporting; and landing page optimization. SearchAdvisor also includes search marketing analytics that enables sellers to view campaign performance by order, products sold or revenue generated.
ChannelAdvisor provides "channel management solutions" to eBay and online sellers.

Many potential song noms come from popular music
Before Academy voters worry about whether they'll need to bone up on today's hip-hop stars now that Eminem has cracked the barrier for song, there's plenty of reasons to believe this year's race will be a return to old favorites.
Besides, when "Lose Yourself" took home the 2002 Academy Award for song, says Lia Vollack, Worldwide Music prexy at Sony Pictures, it wasn't "just someone's tossed-off B-side, not something played while the final credits ran, but something that worked for a smart, artistic movie."
Could lightning strike again? Many of this year's potential song nominees come from similarly popular, and respected, rock and pop writers. They include (alphabetically, by film title):
Big Fish – "Man of the Hour" (Eddie Vedder)
"Big Fish" was something of an evolution for director Tim Burton, according to Vollack, "a more emotional movie, dealing with universal themes (that) opened up the canvas a bit." When it came time to select someone to write a song for the film, Burton and Vollack had one choice: Pearl Jam.
"We weren't about to go on a big search. If Pearl Jam didn't want to do it, that was that," she says. But the band responded with "Man of the Hour," a simply played meditative ballad.
Brother Bear – "No Way Out," "Great Spirits" (Phil Collins)
Collins started work on his upbeat score for Disney's animated adventure set in the ancient Pacific Northwest even before he won the song Oscar for his last film, "Tarzan." He says he started by looking at paintings of unspoiled landscapes, "wide-open skies with lots of great scenery, and I wrote lyrics for the Great Spirits. My job is to write songs that will carry the story along. The sentiments of the film are forgiveness, compassion and understanding (and) the songs are very specific in their feel."
Cold Mountain – "You Will Be My Ain True Love" (Sting); "The Scarlet Tide" (T Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello)
Bluegrass vocalist Alison Krauss sings both songs. The Sting tune reoccurs throughout the film: "For Inman (Jude Law), it's the haunting voice of Ada (Nicole Kidman), which replays in his head while he's at war and on his journey back home," says Miramax music chief Randy Spendlove. "Sting had read the book, and was so inspired that he stepped outside of himself into early Americana."
Song producer Burnett hadn't read the book, but many of his Nashville musician friends are fans. "They loved it and talked about how important music was to the story," Burnett reports. To co-write "The Scarlet Tide," heard in the finale, he enlisted Elvis Costello. The two exchanged ideas while Costello was on tour, finally meeting in L.A. for lunch at Costello's hotel. Before they were finished eating, they had moved to the hotel bar to compose a bare-bones tune on the piano.
Dirty Pretty Things "Glass, Concrete and Stone" (David Byrne)
After viewing a rough cut of the film, Byrne was so moved by the story of immigrants living under the radar in modern London, he says, "I didn't think I could write anything to match it."
Director Stephen Frears rejected his initial effort; going back to the drawing board, Byrne composed a song about displacement and homelessness, a theme in many of his songs, so it "wasn't a big stretch" for him.
Down With Love – "Here's to Love" (Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman)
This takeoff on the Doris Day-Rock Hudson romantic comedies is unique in that its song is actually performed on-screen by stars Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger.
"The tone is very much in the style of the brilliant Jimmy Van Heusen-Sammy Cahn songs, early '60s Rat-Pack style," says composer Marc Shaiman (who also appears as the piano player). The five-time Oscar nominee had finished the song when the stars came back for reshoots, "so they came over and recorded it. We had so much fun, and they were so charming, that we all said, 'let's complete this fantasy totally and film it.' "
Gods and Generals – "Going Home" (Mary Fahl, Glenn Patscha, Byron Isaacs); "Cross the Green Mountain" (Bob Dylan)
Writer-director Ronald Maxwell's Civil War epic is bookended by Fahl's poignant opening song, and Dylan's ballad over the end titles. Per Maxwell, "the extraordinary serendipity about Mary's song is that she captured the soul of the movie without seeing it," utilizing 19th-century musical colors. She got to the heart of the story, about the importance of home." Dylan, who won for "Things Have Changed" in 2000, wrote "an anthem-like song with its roots firmly in Appalachia. The lyrics almost come right out of the 19th century."
In America – "Time Enough for Tears" (Bono, Gavin Friday,Maurice Seezer)
According to Friday, the song came about after Bono and singer Andrea Corr saw an early version of the film. The story of Irish immigrants in New York touched them so deeply that two days later, they were in Friday's small studio, recording. Corr was situated in the studio's loo ("you get the best sound there," Friday confides) and nailed the song on the second take. "The vocal you hear, that's Andrea, one take, untouched," Friday says.
Legally Blonde 2 "We Can" (Diane Warren)
The six-time Oscar nominee was immediately attracted to the script for "Legally Blonde 2." "It spoke to me, because I love animals — I'm a real animal-rights activist." When she sat down to work the next day, the line "we can do the impossible" popped into her head, and she knew she was on the right track.
Anita Camarata, MGM's exec VP music worldwide, says she and director Charles Herman-Wurmfeld both loved the song, but a few execs couldn't get their ears around Warren's demo — until they heard LeAnn Rimes sing the rousing anthem.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – "Into the West" (Howard Shore, Fran Walsh, Annie Lennox)
Not only did Lennox have the perfect voice for the picture, says composer Howard Shore, "Annie even joked that she looked Elvish," and could have been cast in the film. In August, the three began workshopping music based on a theme from "Return's" penultimate scene, a piece called 'Grey Havens,' which evolved into "Into the West."
"It's all part of the process," Shore says of the song's birth, "working through ideas until you feel you've arrived at the best you can do. It's a product of human will and time."
A Mighty Wind – "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" (Michael McKean, Annette O'Toole)
The husband-and-wife thesps wrote the tune that gives "A Mighty Wind" its emotional core: Will long-estranged folk duo Mitch and Mickey kiss at the end?
The song almost didn't make it into the film. Director Christopher Guest "thought it was too straight a song," O'Toole says. They wrote another, poppier tune, but it was finally decided that since "they play it so straight, (the original) worked."
For McKean, "It's the least foolish song." Then again, he adds, "It's about a man who is kind of tragically foolish."
Mona Lisa Smile – "The Heart of Every Girl" (Elton John, Bernie Taupin)
It took two passes for legendary rocker Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin to get the song right. John was in Atlanta working on music for his stage version of "The Vampire Lestat" when he got the call.
The filmmakers were looking for a '50s-style song for the film; the first version was what John calls "a Ray Charles ballad. They heard and said, 'We like it, but we need an uptempo one,' " so John reworked the song, giving it what he calls "a Frank Sinatra-Dean Martin feel." John had "no qualms about rewriting a song." In fact, he says, "it's quite useful to write a song after you've had a practice run at it."

Syracuse, NY -- Sean Cunningham's one-minute film promoting New York looks like a different world from the glitz and glamour of New York City.
But that's the idea behind the 23-year-old Syracuse resident's video, "Discover a Different New York." The film was named a Grand Prize Finalist in this year's "I Love NY Short Film Competition."
From a Skaneateles winery to Ithaca waterfalls, Cunningham showcases a montage of sights from Central New York -- all shot in a single day.
"A lot of people, when they think of New York, they think the city," Cunningham said. "I wanted to show the diversity of the state."
Waking at 6 a.m. the day of the shoot, Cunningham met his college roommate -- and star in his film -- M.J. Parish, of Long Island, to catch a sunrise in Ithaca. From there, they drove nearly 200 miles to 10 locations, stopping at Carpenter Falls in Cayuga County, Seneca Lake and wineries in Skaneateles before shooting a sunset at Oneida Lake, he said.
His friends filmed a fake graduation party in Cunningham's backyard on Bellevue Avenue. In the film, Parish's character tells a friend he's moving to New York.
"Big city," the friend says.
In the next shot, Parish wakes up to see Skaneateles Lake whizzing past his car window. The rest of the film is a montage of scenic shots.
Cunningham, who graduated this spring from State University at Binghamton, only had one expense in making the video: gas for his green Grand Prix.
Empire State Development sponsored the contest. Hundreds submitted videos.
The Grand Prize winners video will be shown during a broadcast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, as well as on JetBlue Airways seatback televisions and the Independent Film Channel, said Thomas Ranese, chief marketing officer of Empire State Development.
A panel of three celebrity judges -- Tina Fey, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Doug Liman -- will select the grand prize winner in early September. Other contest prizes will be awarded to regional winners and student entries, Ranese said.\
