Barclays Premiership
Stadium of Light
Monday April 17, 2006
Kick off 3pm
A STUNNING second half comeback saw Newcastle take the points from Monday's Wear/Tyne derby at the Stadium of Light.
The Magpies were slow to start in the first half, and they went in trailing at the interval after Justin Hoyte fired the home side in front.
But Michael Chopra got United back on level terms seconds after coming on on the hour mark, and a minute later Alan Shearer scored from the spot after Hoyte fouled Charles N'Zogbia.
N'Zogbia then scored a fine solo goal to put the result beyond doubt, and Albert Luque scored the fourth to complete a remarkable turnaround.
90min - Three minutes of time are added on at the end, and the Magpies fans behind the goal were in fine voice at the final whistle
87min - NEWCASTLE GOAL - Albert Luque takes advantage of a defensive error between Caldwell and Collins and races clear before chipping the ball over davis to complete the rout.
85min - Liam Lawrence fires wide from 22 yards. At the other end of the stadium, the travelling Toon Army are raising the roof in praise of their team's second-half performance.
83min - Dean Whitehead delivers a deep free-kick from halfway and it is headed behind by Craig Moore for a corner. Liam Lawrence's left-wing flag-kick is nodded behind by Titus Bramble and Lawrence then retrieves Julio Arca's corner and wins another. Celestine Babayaro and Titus Bramble make timely blocks to concede a fourht corner in two minutes but this time Kevin Kyle heads straight at Shay Given.
81min - Titus Bramble is booked for a foul and Sunderland have another right-sided free-kick. Liam Lawrence's deliver goes over everyone and the Magpies clear their lines eventually.
80min - Sunderland have a free-kick on the right that Julio Arca delivers deep, but United stand firm to clear.
79min - Charles N'Zogbia tries to make it 4-1 but when he goes to pull the trigger Steve Caldwell makes a great saving challenge for the hosts. N'Zogbia, however, is left grounded as a result.
77min - George McCartney goes into the book for an ugly lunge on Kieron Dyer.
75min - Sunderland have a free-kick and it's a dangerous delivery from Julio Arca that Amady Faye heads behind. In the next attack, Arca delivers a useful cross to the back post and Chris Brown heads wide.
73min - George McCartney forces Nolberto Solano to concede a corner but Shay Given punches clear.
71min - Alan Shearer is clearly unable to continue after the heavy challenge. He has to come off and that means Albert Luque takes over.
68min - Sunderland take off Jon Stead and send on Kevin Kyle.
67min - Alan Shearer needs treatment after a heavy challenge by Tommy Miller and Julio Arca.
66min - NEWCASTLE GOAL (1-3): Kieron Dyer plays in Charles N'Zogbia and he drifts past Justin Hoyte, Tommy Miller and Danny Collins to dispatch a left-foot strike past Kelvin Davis. Three goals in seven minutes have sickened Sunderland!!
64min - Sunderland have a free-kick as Craig Moore fouls Dean Whitehead 20 yards out. Jon Stead clips it over the wall and it is saved by Shay Given.
64min - Sunderland send on Julio Arca for Daryl Murphy.
61min - NEWCASTLE GOAL (1-2): Who else but Alan Shearer to put the ball on the spot, compose himself and bury his strike past Kelvin Davis. What a turnaround!
60min - NEWCASTLE PENALTY - The Magpies strike again! This time Justin Hoyte pulls back Charles N'Zogbia and United have a penalty.
59min - NEWCASTLE GOAL (1-1): What an amazing substitution as Michael Chopra scores within seconds of coming on. A foul on Kieron Dyer sees the Magpies get a free-kick that Titus Bramble lanches goalward and Chopra gets ahead of kelvin Davis and pokes in for a sensational strike.
59min - Glenn Roeder makes a change and sends on Michael Chopra for Lee Clark.
57min - Lee Clark gets a yellow card for a late challenge on Tommy Miller on halfway.
55min - The Magpies carry the ball upfield but when Charles N'Zogbia elects to shoot from 25 yards he fires horribly high and wide.
54min - The Black Cats raid down the left as Dean Whitehead feeds Jon Stead, who gets away from Stephen Carr but then fires in a cross that no one can reach.
51min - Sunderland's first threat of the second-half comes through Jon Stead as he sets off on a mazy run that takes him into the Newcastle box before he is crowded out and Craig Moore clears.
48min - United's next attack comes down the left. Charles N'Zogbia works a yard off Justin Hoyte but his cross flashes across goal and behind.
47min - Newcastle are first to show after the interval, but when Stephen Carr crosses from the right there is no one in the penalty area to challenge Kelvin Davis.
The second-half begins with neither side having made any changes at the break.
Half-time comes with the home team leading courtesy of that Justin Hoyte goal in the 32nd minute.
45min+3 - The last action of the half sees Craig Moore penalised for a foul on Chris Brown giving Sunderland a free-kick 30 yards out. Liam Lawrence takes it and it only clears the crossbar by inches.
45min+2 - Charles N'Zogbia crosses to the right and sends over a low cross that is cleared only as far as Celestine Babayaro. He steadies himself before rifling over.
45min - Kieron Dyer thinks he has a chance to go clear on a Charles N'Zogbia flick, but a raised flag for offside just about sums up the Magpies' miserable first-half.
43min - Tommy Miller handles the ball in a midfield battle with Lee Clark and Newcastle have a free-kick 35 yards out. Nolberto Solano takes it, but can only curl it straight into the arms of Kelvin Davis.
42min - Sunderland remain the dominant side and come close to a second goal. Liam Lawrence fires in a drive from 25 yards that hits the head of Titus Bramble and only just goes wide. Lawrence crosses to the left to take the corner, which is headed clear by Bramble.
38min - Liam Lawrence turns Celestine Babayaro inside out and crosses into the Newcastle box where Titus Bramble clears. Lawrence then finds himself quickly up against Babayaro again and this time tries a curling effort that Shay Given saves comfortably.
34min - Newcastle try to respond and Kieron Dyer carries the ball to the edge of the Sunderland penalty area. When he is crowded out, the ball breaks to Alan Shearer but his drive is well wide.
32min - SUNDERLAND GOAL (1-0): The hosts take the lead as Jon Stead gets away from Titus Bramble on the right and crosses low to the near post, where it is collected by Dean Whitehead, and he then helps it across goal where Justin Hoyte tucks the ball away from six yards.
30min - Nolberto Solano swings in a deep cross that Justin Hoyte can only head clear as far as Charles N'Zogbia. The Frenchman's delivery from the left, however, is poor and the ball drifts behind for a goal kick.
28min - Charles N'Zogbia gets the better of Dean Whitehead to deliver a left-wing cross that Danny Collins clears. Celestine Babayaro recycles possession and is fouled by a combination of Dean Whitehead and Liam Lawrence. Nolberto Solano's free-kick is punched clear by Kelvin Davis but he regains his position in time to collect the ball when it is put back in from 25 yards by Stephen Carr.
26min - Lee Clark brings down Jon Stead and Sunderland have a free-kick in the inside left channel. Dean Whitehead takes it quickly but is off target with his aim.
23min - The Magpies are quickly back on the attack as Stephen Carr swings over a deep cross from the right. Amady Faye challenges for it with Justin Hoyte, and the Sunderland defender gets the vital touch before going down and needing treatment.
22min - Newcastle force their first corner of the game. Good work by Celestine Babayaro sees him play the ball infield to Kieron Dyer, who helps it across to Stephen Carr before his attempted cross is put behind by George McCartney. Daryl Murphy heads clear from Nolberto Solano's cross.
18min - Sunderland force two more corners in quick succession. The first is headed behind by Titus Bramble and there is a delay before the second one can be taken as Dean Whitehead needs treatment. When the second one is delivered by Liam Lawrence from the left, Amady Faye heads clear.
16min - The home side have certainly got themselves fired up for this one and force another corner as Celestine Babayaro stops Liam Lawrence crossing from the right. Titus Bramble heads clear but the Black Cats quickly get a left-wing corner as Bramble charges down a Jon Stead shot. Shay Given punches clear.
15min - Sunderland get forward in numbers and Jon Stead finds himself with a shooting chance from 20 yards only to screw his right-foot effort well wide.
14min - A combination of Dean Whitehead and Chris Brown bring down Charles N'Zogbia and United have a free-kick on the left. It is taken by Nolberto Solano but Kelvin Davis comes and collects the inswinging delivery.
12min - Craig Moore is making a good start for the Magpies and on this occasion he produces no-nonsense defending to block off Dean Whitehead as he tries to get on to a flick from Chris Brown.
9min - When the free-kick is finally delivered by Dean Whitehead it is headed clear by Amady Faye.
8min - The hosts have made a positive start and Craig Moore has to concede another corner, this time cutting out a Liam Lawrence cross. Alan Shearer heads clear the flag-kick but then moments later cuts down the midfielder and gives away a free-kick in a dangerous position. The Black Cats fans are furious that referee Chris Foy doesn't book the Geordie skipper.
5min - Sunderland win the game's first corner. Justin Hoyte tries to play a ball up to the byline on the right for Liam Lawrence but Craig Moore puts it behind with a sliding challenge. Lawrence then has two attempts to find the right cross but fails each time.
4min - United win a free-kick midway inside the Sunderland half. Nolberto Solano plays it short to Stephen Carr who fires in a shot that is always going to be too high to trouble Kelvin Davis in the home goal.
3min - It's a typically frenetic start to the derby. Newcastle win a throw deep down the left and Celestine Babayaro picks it up on the corner of the Sunderland penalty area only to fire well wide.
Newcastle, wearing white shorts and socks along with their traditional black and white striped jerseys, are defending the end containing the travelling Geordie support in the first half.
GLENN Roeder made three changes to the side that beat Wigan on Saturday for the Easter Monday trip to Sunderland.
Shola Ameobi and Lee Bowyer were both ruled out through injury after being hurt in the 3-1 win over the Latics, so Amady Faye and Lee Clark both started in the middle of midfield with Kieron Dyer pushing up to partner Alan Shearer in attack.
The third change came at left back, where fit-again Celestine Babayaro was preferred to Robbie Elliott.
There were recalls on the bench for Jean Alain Boumsong and Albert Luque.
Sunderland, who were relegated on Friday despite picking up a point against Manchester United at Old Trafford, were skippered by magpies old boy Steve Caldwell, while their star player Julio Arca was only considered fit enough for a place amongst the substitutes after shaking off a hamstring problem.
SUNDERLAND: Kelvin Davis, George McCartney, Steve Caldwell, Danny Collins, Justin Hoyte, Liam Lawrence, Dean Whitehead, Tommy Miller, Chris Brown, Jon Stead (Kevin Kyle 68m), Daryl Murphy (Julio Arca 64m).
Subs: Gary Breen, Grant Leadbitter, Joe Murphy.
NEWCASTLE UNITED: Shay Given, Stephen Carr, Craig Moore, Titus Bramble, Celestine Babayaro, Nobby Solano, Lee Clark (Michael Chopra 59m), Amady Faye, Charles N'Zogbia (jean Alain Boumsong 88), Kieron Dyer, Alan Shearer (Albert Luque 71m).

Ajit Pawar likely to be sworn as Maharashtra's deputy chief minister once again
Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had held consultations with Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar about Ajit Pawar's reentry into the cabinet recently. NCP chief spokesperson Nawab Malik had also said that since the white paper had cleared Ajit Pawar of any misappropriation in irrigation projects, he could return to the cabinet soon.
Opposition parties and sections of media had alleged Ajit Pawar had a role in the irrigation scam that created political turbulence in Maharashtra. Pawar was irrigation minister for 9 years, from 1999 to 2008.
The state spent over .`68,000 crore on irrigation projects during this time but an audit report suggested that there was hardly any increase in the irrigated land.
After wide spread allegations about massive cost escalation in irrigation schemes and publication of an audit report showing that only 0.1% increase was achieved in irrigated land in the state, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had demanded that the water resources department should bring out a white paper on Rs 68,000 crore spent on various irrigation schemes in the last 10 years.
NCP leader Ajit Pawar quit as deputy chief minister following the allegations.The white paper justified the cost escalation and claimed that compared to 2000, the state had an increase in 2010 of 11 lakh hectares of irrigated land, 28% more.

Conceived In Rape – A Testimony to the Meaning of Life
Posted By LAF Editor on January 28, 2014
Rebecca Kiessling spokesperson for the 'hard cases' has been on the front line of the battle for life with the specific mission to expose the reality of what is is to be one of the hard cases. The prolife position that grants life except in hard cases isn't good enough. Listen to Rebecca bring her audiences back to reality, reminding them of the meaning and feeling that exists in the lives that so easily fall into the exception clause.
"It's so ironic that so called feminists are the first to argue that women are weak and pathetic and can't handle very much. They'll say things like, 'How can you expect a women to have to carry a baby. How can you expect a rape victim to have to go through that? How can you expect a women to have to carry a baby who's just going to die?" As if everyone else is immortal. And they short change women because they don't give women credit for being resilient. They don't give women credit for being capable of great love. They don't give women credit for being strong and for being stronger than they think. Instead they just have low expectations. And I think that has been a tremendous disservice to women. And, tragically has resulted in deaths of millions of babies."

Mortal Kombat
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this title is arguably the bloodiest, goriest Mortal Kombat game since the series began almost 20 years ago. You can perform those over-the-top and deadly, "fatality" moves -- like ripping out an opponent's spine, tearing them in half, or impaling them with objects -- but now it's in high-definition 3D (PlayStation 3 version) and with a new X-Ray feature to see the effect of your violence on your opponent's insides while you perform the moves. There is also partial nudity (woman who fight half-naked) and some strong profanity, as well. In short, this game is not for kids.
User reviews

What's it about?
MORTAL KOMBAT is the latest in the best-selling and controversial fighting game series. Much like its predecessors, you're tasked with choosing a fighter from a roster, who has his or her own unique abilities, and then pitting your fighter against other fighters in an arena. By punching, kicking, blocking, chaining combo moves, and using weapons (guns, swords) and special powers (such as fire and lightning), you try to defeat your opponent before he can do the same to you. Once your rival fighter is on his or her last legs, you can perform a brutal \"fatality\" move to finish him or her off in a gory, over-the-top fashion. The new game marks a return to its gory roots (a loose remake of the first three games), including more of a 2D look (though characters and environments are rendered in 3D), four-player tag-team, and a deep story mode that takes players back to the events of the original Mortal Kombat in an attempt to alter the events of the past.
Is it any good?
If you're a fan of this 19 year-old franchise, then no doubt you'll like everything NetherRealm Studios has added to this great-looking, smoothly-animated, and multi-moded fighting game. Familiar players have returned, such as Scorpion, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Kitana, and Raiden, as well as new fighters (including Kratos from God of War on the PlayStation 3 version). Along with a lengthy story mode, there are also quick battles, tag-team options (the first for a Mortal Kombat game), online games (such as the "King of the Hill" spectator mode), co-op arcade mode (for two players on the same television), and a Challenge Tower which has the player perform 300 different challenges -- such as mastering various characters, trying out gory fatalities, fighting under different conditions, and so on (this mode itself lasts 8 to 10 hours). Fatalities will make you cringe more than ever, including the new X-ray moves to see the insides of someone you're smashing, slashing, impaling, or blasting away to end the duel. While the game is intense entertainment for mature players, there's still some questionable balancing between fighters. Overall, though, it's an exciting but gory fighting game that has a ton of gameplay -- for those over 17 years of age.
Online interaction: One of the modes allows players to play against each other over the Internet (both versions of the game), including a King of the Hill mode. In this "party" mode, you can be a spectator, represented by an avatar and joined by others, while watching the fight between two human opponents. You can also choose to praise or trash-talk the fighters with preselected actions tied to buttons (throw tomatoes, laugh at them, say "wow" or chant for a fatality). Players who are fighting can also talk via a headset microphone so players could hear profanity.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about why Mortal Kombat seemed to be going a little less violent -- such as the "Teen" rated Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game from 2008 -- only to deliver an even bloodier and gorier sequel in 2011? Is it carnage that gives Mortal Kombat fans the thrill or is it the fighting mechanic, multiple modes, and familiar characters, each with various moves?
Could NetherRealm Studios deliver as fun a game without all the extreme violence and gore?

Spanish Horse Wrestling Festival-Rapa das bestas
You might have seen people fighting with one mad bull, but have you seen people fighting with horses instead of riding on them? Spanish people do that in famous "Rapa das bestas" festival or "Wrestling with horse" festival.
Rapa das bestas is ancient Spanish festival in Galicia Spain, which is also termed as 'Taming the Beasts', in which men and women from all the ages wrestle untamed horses to the ground with their bare hands without any weapons and cut their manes and tails.
Today Rapa das bestas is a three day festival starting from first Saturday of July and most of the men and women of the village participate in the wrestling against around 600-700 horses of different breeds including stallions, mares, and foals. The meaning of "Rapa das bestas" is "the reaping of the horses" and it's a tradition where people show their courage against these beasts. This festival is also celebrated to declare the village's independence and virility.
A lot number of the horse hairs collected in festival are used in brushes and mattresses, and after end of the festival these horses are sent back up in to the hillsides again. Cruelty and death are strictly not part of this fiesta.
Even women don't lag behind the men in the wrestling with horses and they fight with all their strengths in them.
The final goal of this wrestling is cutting the horse hairs – manes and tales.

Great place
by Bob #22 , 09/05/2014
Thank you! Pulled a radio and was about to pay the inexpensive $16. The helper at the counter told me that the radio had anti theft and I would not be able to us it. Thank you for saving me the time and money!
Awesome Friendly Service - Gave me a great price on the parts I pulled - Very Satisfied!!

Awesome Friendly Service - Gave me a great price on the parts I pulled - Very Satisfied!! Thank you very much- will be back anytime I need anything!
Great Place, but Needs to open on Sundays!
by Daniel , 09/16/2012
I have found great deals on interior components, engine parts, frame stuff... All kinds of things. But this place needs to open on Sundays. That is when I do my best and most work! How about it guys?
Always comes through for me!
by radicalbiscuit , 05/21/2012
Their cars are all neatly organized, separated from the others, propped up on blocks (easy to access), and not smashed beyond recognition. There is a $1 cover charge here, but it's well worth it. I have never come away from here empty-handed. Just went two days ago and I'll be going again today. I'm moving away from the area and I'm a bit sad because I'll have to find a new junkyard as dependable as this.
by Panoman , 01/26/2012
Went there in hopes that they would have the part I needed. I called in beforehand just to make sure they would have at least one vehicle I could look at for parts. Yes, you bring your own tools, and yes they charge you something like a dollar per person to get in... But the parts are cheap, and I found more than I was looking for! Awesome. (phone number listed really is wrong - it's 801-877-2797.) Had fun looking at and pulling things I needed.
by Jasper , 10/01/2011
I don't have tools. I would like to find and pull off a front fender. Do they rent tools there for customers to use?
by customer for life , 06/16/2011
I am a woman and they didn't treat me like I didn't know anything which made me feel great! I love how whenever I come in looking for a part, they help me. They told me when they could pick up my car and were on time about it. They paid me more than what others offered. They are great! Thanks!
by Jorkofvich , 05/28/2011
Are you serious Shaneval63?? vehicles in auto wrecking yards are there for a reason, you can't expect everything thing on them to be good, if you don't know anything about cars, i wouldn't try to repair them yourself.
No guarentee
by shaneval63 , 02/05/2011
This was my wrecking yard until they decided not to guarentee that the part pulled was any good. you buy it and its yours working or not. No guarentees.
new number
by rogerdpack , 09/13/2010
Looks like their "real" new number is 801-877-2797Also they sell tires $10/tire ($15 with steel rim, $30 or $35 with aluminum rim). Which is cheap, you just have to rip the tire off the rim yourself, or buy the rim :)4 stars since their phone number was hard to find.

If cuisine drives (or helps) you decide your travel plans, USA Today's list of food favorites covers Best Farmers Market, Best Food Trail, Best Food Factory Tour, Best Al Fresco Dining Neighborhood and Best Local Food Scene. All those lists are pretty self-explanatory, except for the food trails, which aren't even fully described in the more verbose slideshow of the top 10. And of course there are more than 10 food trails in the US (not to mention abroad), so let's dive in. [more inside]
The three Chicken Wars, and their (less than) lasting impacts
In the records of human conflicts, there are at least three Chicken Wars. Two left little mark on the world at large, and the third resulted in some strange work-arounds for heavy tariffs. The first was Wojna kokosza, the Chicken or Hen War of 1537, when an anti-royalist and anti-absolutist rokosz (rebellion) by the Polish nobility resulted in near-extinction of local "kokosz" (an egg laying hen), but little else. The second was an odd spin-off of the more serious War of the Quarduple Alliance that lasted from 1717 to 1720. Though most of the activity happened in Europe, there were some battles in North America. The Texas manifestation was the capture of some chickens by French forces from a Spanish mission, and a costly overreaction by Spanish religious and military men. The third Chicken War was a duel of tariffs during the Cold War, with the only lasting casualty being the availability of foreign-made light trucks in the United States. [more inside]
The Many States of Jefferson, the could-have-been and might-be states
If someone mentions the state of Jefferson that existed in an alternate universe, the question should be: which one? The western neighbor of the Kansas Territory, the eastern portion of Texas, the later effort to split off a western portion of Texas, or the new state composed of parts of Oregon and California?

Perry Van Arsdale's maps of US historic events
In 1960 or so, Professor Perry C. Van Arsdale was helping his 7-year-old granddaughter researching the Santa Fe trail. He found his granddaughter's textbook to have some number of errors. He set off to create a map of pioneer history (prior to the 1900's), using his own knowledge and information from judges, sheriffs, and descendants of historical figures. This was his start in creating the Pioneer New Mexico map, which would contain 300 towns that no longer exist, old trails of all sorts (including the three historic Santa Fe trails and various camel routes), locations of minor squabbles and major battles, and because he couldn't fit everything on the maps, he also included extensive notes in the corner of the map.

Creationism stays out of Texas textbooks (for now)
On Friday, July 22, the Texas Board of Education voted 14-0 to support scientifically accurate high school biology textbook supplements, rejecting the proposed creationist materials. Instead of including such material, the education board voted to let Education Commissioner Robert Scott work with the publishing company Holt McDougal to find language that is factually correct and fits the standards adopted in 2009. "My goal would be to try to find some common ground," Scott said.
Texas Republicans: 100 Ways to say "We don't want you"
Texas Republicans have been turning against the ideas on immigration supported by George W. Bush, who actively courted Latino voters in his 1998 gubenertorial election campaign (cached), and in his two presidential election campaigns. In 2010, some 12,000 Republican delegates came together, many proposing new directions on immigration reform. By January 2011, there were more than three dozen immigration-related bills filed, a number of them creating heated debates. By the of March, there were nearly 100 immigration bills written or filed, some with serious loopholes. (Rep. Debbie Riddle, previously.)

Originally made in 2001, the rediscovered video is part of DJ Jester's River Walk Riot mixcd, because of which he met renowned turntablist Kid Koala. The Filipino Fist joined Kid Koala, P-Love, and Lederhosen Lucil in the 2003 "Short Attention Span Theater" Tour.

Princeton turned on by wireless
Princeton — One group of Houghton Road neighbors is so excited by the prospect of the town's new wireless system, they've named the pole that will help bring high-speed Internet access into their homes after years of waiting. Its name is Tucker.
It's been more than three years since the Princeton Municipal Light Department first proposed the idea of providing wireless Internet access to Princeton residents.
This month the first customers went online.
Residents Richard Wagner and Michele Deforest said they're ecstatic to be off dial-up service and onto high-speed.
"I've been asking about this for five years," said Deforest who lives on Hubbardston Road. "This is just great. I'm sitting on my couch with wireless connection because I have a router. It's amazing the speed. PDFs open up like magic. Now I can do twice as much as I could do in the same period of time when I was on dial-up."
Wagner lives on Lyons Road and has had the service for a few days.
"I just love it. It's been a long time coming," he said "I just canceled my dial-up. I work at home and with dial-up it was impossible to download large files. I'd have to take my laptop and go to the library and be there for a long time. I just love the new service, the difference is pretty significant."
Sam Feinsilver of Greene Road also does some work out of his home and has been on dial-up for 20 years.
"Dial-up has been torture. You really learn patience," he said. "I'm really glad [PMLD Director Jon Fitch] stepped forward and did something for the town that's really beneficial. He recognized the need and did something about it."
As of last week, more than 60 people had signed up for the new service, and most had come in to the light department office on Worcester Road to pick up their wireless kit, a box full of equipment needed to install the wireless system.
The phone has been ringing off the hook for the past two weeks as residents saw the larger, fiberglass utility poles being installed in various locations throughout town, Fitch said. As soon as someone saw a pole go up in their neighborhood they wanted to know how soon they could get connected.
Fitch said he's been so busy with pole installation and equipment he's hardly had time to keep up with filling the kits residents need to set up their individual antennas at their homes.
"We've got the antennas up on the fire tower on the summit of Wachusett Mountain, and seven of the larger utility poles are up on Hobbs Road, Beaman Road, Houghton Road, Ball Hill Road, Worcester Road and Ralph Road," Fitch said. "A pole installed on Whitaker will have to be moved a few feet in order to get the proper site. We've also put in seven other bases and have seven more to go."
Once the bases are in, the other sections of the fiberglass poles will be attached along with the whip antennas.
"We're making an effort to get service to the folks that aren't served now and aren't being offered any service at all," said Fitch. "We're using our right-of-way and our own space to install our utility poles. In effect we're replacing our poles with the taller pole and will reattach all our power lines to the new poles. We're trying to put the poles in areas where they will have the least impact."
Before Fitch even had the chance to notify residents living near the poles that the service was ready, they poured into the PMLD office.
"I've handed out 60 kits so far (price is $99 each). Thirty-three of them are up and running with some minor issues such as pointing the antenna in the right direction," he said.
In most cases the homeowner has just followed the directions and been able to hook up all the equipment, said Fitch. The kits include a radio modem, antenna, antenna mast and 50- feet of coaxial wire along with accompanying hardware. A homeowner can put the equipment in the attic or on the roof, bring the cable into the house and connect the radio modem to the computer or to a wireless router, he said.
"We do have an installer on call to assist people if necessary, and we can assist in so far as to tell people which direction to point the antenna," Fitch said. "If people need help we have the names of recommended installers."
Resident Phil Mighdoll is helping PMLD with online customer subscriptions. "We have 300 potential customers easily without any advertising," said Mighdoll at the December 12 light commissioners meeting. "People who had dial-up looked out and saw the pole go up and want to get connected.
"We had an orderly process in place and were going to contact people when each pole was ready but we haven't had the chance, as people have beat us to it and come in for their kits," said Mighdoll. "We're trying to tell people that some poles aren't quite ready yet."
Bills will be mailed in January and a flyer will go out in the next light bill explaining how people can sign up for the service. The Web site for the wireless system is PMLDnet.com
The residential basic service with maximum speed of 1Mbps/256 kbps is $39.95 per month, residential premium is $59.95 for 1.5 Mbps/512 kbps, business basic is $249.95 for 1.5 Mbps/1.5 Mbps and business premium is $299.95 for 3.0 Mbps/3.0 Mbps. The equipment charge for residential service is $99 and for a business the equipment charge is $199.
Payment will be due within 20 days of the bill date and if payment isn't received within 20 days, service will be terminated. Some of the terms and conditions of PMLD's acceptable use policy state that PMLD will try to maintain 100 percent "up-time" but cannot guarantee connection at all.
PMLDnet.com customer service is available to confirm and troubleshoot Internet connections and access equipment.

The Heat New Stills
The Heat is one of the comedies not to miss this summer as Sandra Bullock teams with Melissa McCarthy for the very first time.
Bullock and McCarthy are two of the biggest comedy film stars and they come together as an uptight FBI agent and a hard and nails Boston cop.
Paul Feig is back in the director's chair for the first time since the huge success of Bridesmaids back in 2011.
And we have some fantastic new images from the film for you to take a look at:
Uptight FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) and foul-mouthed Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) couldn't be more incompatible.
But when they join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies.
The Heat is released July 31st

Being a professional baseball pitcher was not the plan all along for Binghamton Mets right-hander Matt Bowman. It probably isn't in the plans for most Princeton University economics majors.
Bowman makes his second Double-A start tonight against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. He allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk in five innings in his first start of the season.
"I chose colleges based on I wanted to be a shortstop and a pitcher, and obviously I was academically inclined," Bowman said following his first Double-A start on April 9. "So I went to Princeton and my first couple years, they went fine, but I was by no means an outstanding college pitcher. Then my junior year I got some looks from scouts and, you know, I don't know what kid is going to play baseball and given the opportunity is going to turn that down."
Bowman, now in his second full season of professional baseball, missed about two weeks in spring training with a strained hamstring. He threw four innings the Saturday the players broke in order to get cleared to come to Binghamton. If he hadn't cleared that hurdle, he would've had to stay in Port St. Lucie.
Last year, Bowman went 4-0 in his first five starts at Low-A Savannah and jumped to High-A St. Lucie. That promotion even caught Bowman off guard.
"I got called up from Savannah about a month into the season, about four or five starts," Bowman recalled. "I was extremely surprised when that happened. It just seemed very early. If you know anything about the other starters there, Gabriel Ynoa, (Rainy) Lara was there, (Luis) Cessa, Matt Koch, they were all there. I think they're all very good so I was surprised that I ended up being the one to go, but I wanted to take full advantage of it.
"Once I sort of moved to St. Luice, I knew those guys were right on my heels so I wanted to do well while I was there."
Bowman's primary goal isn't a win total or strikeout number. His goals center around one major statistic: innings.
"It's always to have the most innings pitched," Bowman said. "I think for a starting pitcher that's what its all about. ERA, obviously you want it to be low, but I think for a starting pitcher you want to have the most innings pitched that you can because that just means you're going deep in games, you're saving the bullpen, you're effective enough. If you're ERA is up, it's up. I just want to go as deep into games as I possibly can."

STATEMENTFrom the Office of State Senator Rodney Ellis
For Immediate Release March 19, 1999 Contact: Jeremy Warren, (512) 463-0113
Senate Reaches Halfway Point of 76th Legislature
Dear Friends:
As we approach the halfway point of the 76th Legislative Session, I would like to take this opportunity to provide you an update on my key priorities for Texas.
Keeping Texas Southern University Independent and Strong Ensuring Texas Southern University remains independent and strong is one of my top priorities. As you know, TSU is under an April 1st deadline to demonstrate it has put its fiscal house in order. To ensure that our top officials have a true understanding of the improvements underway at TSU, earlier this month I invited Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry to join me on a tour of the university. In addition, I am working closely with Representative Garnet Coleman, the Legislative Black Caucus, Governor Bush, Lieutenant Governor Perry and other key lawmakers in support of the Millennium Plan that will ensure stability at Texas Southern University and builds on the progress of the last year.
While Texas Southern University has had its struggles, the school is clearly making demonstrable progress in reforming key management functions. Rolling TSU into another university will not be tolerated.
Strengthening our Public Schools
To strengthen our public schools, I have filed SB 1701, which will reduce the class size limit from 22 students per classroom to 17. Teachers cannot effectively teach, and students cannot effectively learn, in overcrowded classrooms. Studies in Tennessee and California have shown that students in small classes perform better, and behave better, than students learning in overcrowded classrooms, because teachers have more time to spend with each student. In addition, I have co-sponsored SB 1, a proposal to eliminate social promotion, which will ensure all children are getting the reading and writing skills they need to succeed by the end of the third grade.
Also, I am committed to ensuring competitive pay for Texas teachers. I have co-sponsored legislation, SB 1616, which will provide a 10 percent raise for most of our hard-working teachers. And I will work with my colleagues in the legislature to defeat any attempt to implement a risky voucher scheme in Texas.
Preparing Texas Families for College
To ensure Texas children have a real shot at a college education, I have offered SB 37, the Texas HOPE Scholarship plan. It will provide tuition and fees to students who have completed college preparatory courses and maintain a 2.5 GPA or better, and earn less than $25,000. It is based on a successful program in Georgia that provides scholarships to any student with a "B" average. In conjunction with HOPE, I have offered legislation, SB 237, which will require schools to begin college counseling in middle school, rather than high school, so that students and parents know all the opportunities they have, and the requirements they must meet, to get into college.
The Texas HOPE Scholarship plan could have the same impact for our children that the GI Bill had for our parents, and it could not be more needed. Now is the time to make a down-payment on our children's future by offering them a real shot at a college education.
Punishing and Preventing Hate Crimes
The brutal slaying of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper last year shows more must be done to punish and prevent hate crimes. Acts of such brutality do not just happen. The are the product of years of subtler acts of hatred that are often ignored until they explode. If we want to stop this cycle of violence before it begins, we must have a hate crimes law that sends a clear, sudden signal that crimes of hate will not be tolerated. To send that signal, I have filed SB 275, the James Byrd, Jr. Act, which will strengthen our current law by clarifying the definition of a hate crime, provide aid to small counties prosecuting hate murders, assign a prosecutor in the Attorney General's Office as a hate crimes director, require greater hate crimes training for Texas law enforcement, and provide civil penalties for victims of hate crimes. Our friend, Representative Senfronia Thompson, is working in the House to pass this tough law.
Providing a Healthy Start to Texas Children
Today, 1.4 million Texas children -- 1-in-4 -- lack access to health insurance of any kind. Nearly 90 percent of these children are in families where at least one parent is working full-time. Studies show that kids without insurance struggle more in school and their parents struggle more at work. To combat this problem, on March 11, 1999, the Texas Senate passed SB 445, the Children's Health Insurance Program, which will provide health insurance for nearly 400,000 of uninsured Texas children. It is a strong beginning, but we need to do more. Under CHIP, Texas will receive $3 from the federal government for every $1 we spend. Funding for SB 445 will come out of the $17.3 billion tobacco settlement. CHIP will cover children ages 0-10 for families earning 200 percent of the federal poverty level (approximately $32,900 a year for a family of four) and covers kids ages 11-19 for families earning 150 percent of federal poverty level (roughly $25,200). That is not good enough. Thirty three states cover all children up to 200 percent, and others go much further. If we cannot find the will to invest in our children today, when times are good, when will we?
Providing a Meaningful Tax Cuts for Texas Families
To ensure hard-working families get tax relief, I have filed SB 441, a $250 million plan which will eliminate the sales tax on over-the-counter children's medicines and diapers, and create a nine-day tax holiday in August on shoes and clothing to help families save on back-to-school clothing for their children. Sales tax relief will help all Texans, but particularly those most in need. Today, our sales tax takes the most from those who can least afford it. Our state sales tax, when combined with local sales taxes, is one of the highest and most regressive in the nation. High sales taxes hit low income Texans the hardest, forcing our poorest citizens to pay up to six times more of their income in sales taxes than wealthier citizens. Eliminating taxes on essential daily items will mean a real tax cut for millions of hard-working Texans.
Attached is a list of my legislation. I hope you will review this packet of information on my legislative priorities and share your thoughts with me about the issues of importance to you.
Rodney Ellis

Forgotten Friday Flick - 'To Live And Die In L.A.'
The great Willem Dafoe is hitting theaters this week with the new Australian outing called "The Hunter," so we thought we'd take a gander at a past Dafoe ditty worth it's weight in five-star flesh – welcome to Forgotten Friday Flick! This week's selection is a personal favorite filled with corruption, murder and double crossing – and that just describes the good guys! The line between cops and criminals gets a bit blurry in the fantastic 1985 William Friedkin flick..."To Live And Die In L.A."
Secret Service agent Jimmy Hart is a man who has seen his fare share of the action. As an agent in the treasury department and having served on presidential detail as well, he has more than earned his upcoming retirement. Not to mention he's saddled with thrill seeking partner Richard Chance, a young up and comer who lives life recklessly in the fast lane. Hart finishes off his last days trying to bring down a notorious counterfeiter named Rick Masters, a high priority on the most wanted list. Of course it ends badly and the ever-cocky Chance lays it out straight and simple – Masters is going down no matter what the cost.
The absence of duty and procedure amongst the protagonist of this piece is where the difference in the material lies. Friedkin has constructed a world of lies, deceit and corruption and it's one where good and bad can be on the same side of a single coin. Chance and Masters, though seemingly on different sides of the law, have more in common then they think –both have a loose moral code. But there's a real authenticity to Friedkin's harrowing work here that is too real and arresting to ignore – and the Friedkin flavor is strong stuff.
His casting (Friedkin is an actor's director after all!) is a pure example of finding early talent at its best, led by William "CSI" Peterson as rogue agent Chance in a piece of work so intense, yet so effortless it's not hard to see why Peterson became a star. Plus there's early John "Mad About You" Pankow as his new reluctant partner (his reactions during the car chase are pure dramatic gold!), Willem "Wild At Heart" Dafoe as slimy-as-they-get counterfeiter Rick Masters, John "Barton Fink" Turturro as a local Masters courier, Dean "Blue Velvet" Stockwell as his flippant lawyer and a nice turn by a young Darlanne "Running Scared" Fluegel as Chance's snitch/love interest.
But Friedkin is also a master of both style and visual flair and "To Live And Die In L.A." does not disappoint. There's a somber tone set by the moody music of Wang Chang (their best work bar none!), style via Friedkin's colorful shots (the sequence where Dafoe reveals through breath money imprint on metallic paper is pure visual candy!) and even some added killer car chase tension thrown in for good measure. As if trying to outdo the legendary vehicle work he made famous in "The French Connection," Friedkin pumps up the wattage here and it's by far the best car chase ever filmed. In a single sequence that never lets up, our tainted heroes are forced to battle armed gunmen, multiple cars, fast moving trains and even going the wrong way down a crowded highway to escape death – it's a sight to see.
"To Live And Die In L.A." is the kind of film that would never be made now, as studios nowadays like their good guys and bad guys clearly defined for what they perceive as the mindless movie going masses. But thankfully here everyone has a pinch of all of the above and it's what makes the work so uniquely dangerous – safe is nowhere to be found in the world of Friedkin.

The purpose of the effort is, according to organizers, "to create a discussion. We ask bloggers to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue. By doing so on the same day, the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue. Out of this discussion naturally flow actions, advice, ideas, plans, and empowerment."
A group of the nation's largest research libraries are collaborating to create a repository of their digital collections, including millions of books. These holdings will be archived and preserved in a single repository called the HathiTrust. Materials in the public domain will be available for reading online.
American University in Washington, DC has signed with media agency Realview TV to design, produce, and stream the school's online "Virtual Campus Experience." The video will showcase its students, faculty, and virtual campus on the Web via an interactive video-based micro site that's designed to match the school's brand.
To combat distance students dropping out before completion of their classes, American Sentinel University has implemented EducationDynamics' Adult, Online and Continuing Education Retention Program. This Web-based communications tool is designed to keep students connected to their instructors, peers, and institutional support services.
Our ontology about teaching and learning is no longer workable. It is time for a change from pedagogy to andragogy and evidence-based learning.
Too often, institutions spend precious resources implementing a learning management system and associated collaboration, teaching and learning tools, only to find that a relatively small percentage of faculty use the tools to any significant degree. At Genesee Community College (GCC), we have achieved high faculty usage of online learning tools by focusing on institutional culture.
Is "cloud computing" the next big thing in IT, or are you just a victim of "cloud wash?" Recent statements by Oracle's CEO Larry Ellison and software-licensing contrarian Richard Stallman zeroed into the phrase.

|it's just a thought i had for the next Bladestorm and it seems like a good locale for a heated conflict. maybe instead of a mercenary like the last one u create a character for each of the unique factions in the long lasting conflict. Crusaders, Saracens, Byzyntines(my knowledge of the Crusades is limited faction wise) are a few of the factions u can choose from. perhaps an army management feature for pre-combat. recruitment, train, equip, deploy are just some of the things that u could do. post your thoughts plz

Fight with Honour, Live in Glory
this has been buried for too long i want to make this relavent again.
you start out as a man or woman on one side or the other as a miner noble, small amount of troops and no banner to call your own. your first clear objective is to get noticed by your superiors gaining fame. receiving tributes from other lords for prowess in battle, you eventaully are granted land(village or city) that then becomes your hub(like the pub in BS) you can now chose a banner which your armies will carry into battle. in the hub you manage your town in various ways; ajust taxes, invest in new buildings or projects to improve the productivity or happiness of the town, ajust training for your personal troops, manufacture or purchase weapons and equipment for yourself and your forces etc.
in your hub will be a map of the region and requests for you highlighted as hot spots rating danger and reward. also there are instances where you'd have to defend your territory from agressers. requests for sieges have different objectives for the different situations eg. reinforce and aid an ongoing siege, attack and break a siege to rescue a town, or rush to reinforce a garrison before it's surronded by a siege force.
for the first time there will be realistic sieges. your units can now man siege weapons like rams and ladders, some require a certain number of troops to operate eg. can't use a ram with one troop.
this is one my greatest ideas, please give me your feedback

right on. i was going to add co-op to the suggestions, once people noticed this but you beat me to the punch. good on ya. perhaps the option to have a co-op campaign.
also the better town better rewards, perhaps since you're a non historic character in this time frame, perhaps for the better equipment it could be you travel to these locales and have the opurtunity to earn through missions or purchase at a high price.
a thought on movement on the battles there should be an option to pick a destination and have your units autotravel there, with the option to ressume manual control at any time of course. that will take stress off your joystick for long ventures across the map.
also it would be great to meet and fight alongside the great heroes of the Crusades like Richard the Lionheart and Saladin.

another thing will be that you can wield any weapon you want and be mounted when leading your troops. in addtion to your troops you command you have your own personal bodyguards of any unit you choose. also with your own troops you recruit and train, you can also hire mercenaries from hiring areas in your hub.
also i think that the system of strengths and weakness' in Bladestorm should be toned down. like some units are better against certain kinds but example archers should be great at a distance against all units but if say calvary close the distance they should be finished, unless the archers deploy a stakes tactic to counter such actions.

in this once you get to a certain level of command you can recruit unique officers to aid in policies for your town, help train troops and form a seperate group of troops for battle. in battle he(or she) can be given objectives to complete while you off fighting elsewhere. that officer can give orders by themself like to advance or fall back and regroup, but they can also be given manual orders in the battle map. or this could be where a drop-in co-op could flurish.
before a battle one sees the battle map, this time there will be an actual command tent with the commanders involved and a full 3d table battle map. enough said

with this outing in the Crusades your character will encounter religous conflicts on and off the battlefield. in your town and other towns you will run across random encounters between civilians and officers of conflicting religions. you can take a side or try and resolve the conflict, causing fame with one or both parties either religous side or an officer/officers.
your recruited officers can also cause religous strife that can be countered by your actions. public beatings, bribes, and favoring are some of the things that a very religous officer are capable of. they can be turned away from their zelotry through in depth interactions.

a new skill tree can be introduced in this outing.
in bladestorm you killed people to gain points for the troop type to increase stats and such. in the Crusades, it will be still like that but with a few tweaks, you start with a basic unit with no special attacks or skills, you use that unit type, defeat enemies, complete objectives to earn skill points, which can be used to increase stats and unlock unit special moves.
also upon winning you get fame points for your fame lvl, upon leveling up you can covert each thousand points for knowledge tokens, which can be exchanged for unique tactics for one unit or for groups of units like; flank(units gain bonus damage when attacking an enemy from the side), raining charge(bow and calvary combo, arrow volloy before horse charge), etc.
many other combos and tactics are there for exchange, but i can't think of all of them can anyone else think of some others( hint any of the public this is your que)

a good way to spread upon this faith based conflict, is to add quotes from the Bible and the Quran.
perhaps they can be hidden collectablies in the game, the story behind it is that during the first conflict both sides in anger with the other ripped out the pages of the other holy book and scattered them to the dessert sands.
now the motive behind collecting all the pages is that upon collecting all of either books will grant boosts of skills and faith bonuses for whichever one you complete.
for each page there should be a quote that's narrated (English for Bible, Arabic for Quran) and these quotes will be the good ones, promoting patience, peace, miricales and the like.
it would be nice to put a positive outlook on religion these days

As much as I want Bladestorm to remain the Hundred Years war if they make another, I wouldn't be adverse to one based on the Crusades.
Granted it would be tougher to incorporate characters since Sala-al-Din and Richard the Lionheart and Pope Clement are the only big names associated with it, it can be done with more research.
I just don't want them to give up on the Hundred Years' War just yet, since Joan has shown some potential in WO3 and they totally skipped out on John of Gaunt, possibly Philippa of Hainault, and Pedro the Cruel, Joan the Fair Maid of Kent, and King John of Bohemia

This. I don't understand it. Omega Force's producer said that he was going to make a Bladestorm sequel for the Vita. Haven't heard hide nor hair about that.
I don't remember how popular Bladestorm was in Japan (I don't think it was, but most of the revenue came from the West.) But still, man they really need to make a new one. I don't care how they do it. They just need to make a new one (preferrably covering the Hundred Years' War again, because man, there are so many new characters that could be added.)

the original bladestorm was awesome i had so much fun playing even now i have wanted 2nd bladestorm for many years and this seems like a great idea the play was different and fun and the crusades were good also i would love it if it was made being in the different factions would be great also

Here's a thought. I was playing Dragon's Dogma and got to thinking that Bladestorm would be a great Open-World game. The map would be France and the cities would be cities. Of course you could go to each city or tavern and whatever and have quests. Your quest choices and and whatnot would determine your fate through France or England's story. Once you take on a battle quest or whatever, you travel to camp in the open green where the battles take place and meet with a character and initiate a seamless battle, where you take your squadron and fight of course.
Of course the battles would be long, but there would be smaller in-battle quests you'd have to complete as part of the bigger battle.
Another reason why I would like it to be Open-World is that it would be very beautiful. Both England and France are beautiful countries and would do well with an exploratory Open-World environment.

|I think Bladestorm could use a sequel, I thought it was fun and had some great ideas that could grow into even better ones. It was a first attempt and tried to be different than all the warrior games. A modernized take on the game would be great, it was rather rough in the first go.

|a bladestorm crusades would be a great game i have read a few books involving the crusades but which crusades would they do the one with Richard The LionHeart would be the best one
|Fri Jan 9, 2015 1:33 pm Post #21
Maybe they could span the entire Crusades era and allow us to have multiple CAWs as a sort of mercenary dynasty throughout the ages (or just one, like in the original game where it seemingly lives through an entire century of war)
You would get a far, far larger pool of heroes to choose from and a LOT of possible representatives from both sides of the conflicts.
Only downside to this idea is that it would almost immediately be politicized. Our current global climate might not be ready/receptive of a game where you get to choose to fight for/against Christians or Muslims, no matter the historical relevance.

|The differences was ever there also in history, but important is the true Story, which the games shows us.
|Fri Jan 9, 2015 8:02 pm Post #23
That's the thing: the crusades have some historical fact (battlegrounds, how many died, etc.), but a lot more of everything else story related (people's character, reasons for war, etc.) is vastly different depending on which side's accounts you read. Even historians have muddy information to go on.
I just can't see such a game escaping religious criticism. Even the somewhat neutral Kingdom of Heaven (movie) was condemned by both religions for painting their champions in a realistic light rather than a greatly romanticized one.
|Sat Feb 21, 2015 5:50 pm Post #24
It don't make much differences if they don't improve the gameplay.
Bladestorm is a step behind Kingdom under Fire and that's an X-Box game series.

Some prefer sober deliberation, healthy dialogue and respectful debate in the process of setting priorities, choosing leaders, and making decisions. Others are quoted as advocating being ŌĆ£blunt,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£turning up the volume,ŌĆØ and no longer being ŌĆ£nice and pleasant and proper.ŌĆØ This style has led some to view them as employing personal attacks, disruption of meetings, backroom agenda-setting, name-calling and parliamentary quarrels to make their points and get their way.
On my jacket I wear a button that reads, ŌĆ£Civility is Catching: Pass It On!ŌĆØ This column is my effort to do just that.
The button is distributed by the Institute for Civility, which defines civility as ŌĆ£claiming and caring for oneŌĆÖs identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone elseŌĆÖs in the process.ŌĆØ In addition to politeness, civility involves ŌĆ£disagreeing without disrespect, seeking common ground as a starting point for dialogue about differences, listening past oneŌĆÖs preconceptions, staying present with those with whom we disagree, and negotiating interpersonal power such that everyoneŌĆÖs voice is heard and nobody is ignored. And civility begins with us.ŌĆØ
There are basically five approaches to dealing with disagreement and conflict ŌĆö withdrawing, smoothing, compromising, forcing, and negotiating. They differ in terms of the value we place on our relationships versus our goals.
ŌĆó We withdraw when we throw in the towel and give up any hope of achieving our goals or preserving the relationship. We prefer keeping safe and protecting ourselves to what seems like the only alternative ŌĆö battling it out to a ŌĆ£winner take allŌĆØ resolution. ŌĆ£Those who fight and run away live to fight another day.ŌĆØ
ŌĆó When we strive to smooth or harmonize a situation, we avoid conflict by giving up on our goals in order to preserve our relationship with those with whom we disagree. We accommodate to their wishes in hopes they will reciprocate by staying in relationship with us. The relationship tends to be superficial, however, as we are not being real with each other.
ŌĆó Compromise is the ŌĆ£art of the possible,ŌĆØ the give-and-take approach. ŌĆ£Half a loaf is better than none.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£You scratch my back and IŌĆÖll scratch yours.ŌĆØ We bargain to achieve as much of what we want as we can get and let others do the same. Neither of us is fully satisfied, but we can learn to live with the outcome. We maintain a relationship ŌĆö of sorts ŌĆö but it doesnŌĆÖt go very deep.
ŌĆó Forcing is the win/lose approach. ŌĆ£We will employ any means, fair or foul, to achieve our goals. Attack, insult, deception, disruption, manipulation, even violence ŌĆö all are fair game. Our values, beliefs, principles, profits, control take precedence over the personhood and dignity of our opponents. ŌĆ£Win at all costs; the relationship be damned.ŌĆØ
ŌĆó Negotiation involves honest, direct, mutual sharing of oneŌĆÖs goals and beliefs while encouraging the other to do the same. We listen carefully, state frankly and openly, examine our assumptions, brainstorm alternatives, seek consensus, and patiently and persistently stay with the process until a win/win solution is reached.
Civility can be employed in all these approaches except forcing. But only in negotiating ŌĆö and to a lesser extent in compromising ŌĆö is it possible to gain a satisfying, productive result. Whether the issue is budget priorities, same-sex marriage, health insurance, food stamps for the poor, tax cuts for the rich, immigration reform, raising the minimum wage, or pro-life vs. pro-choice, we serve our cause best, have the best chance of achieving our goals and building alliances for struggles lying ahead when we practice civility in the process.
If we withdraw from the debate, we forfeit the chance to find a solution or influencing the outcome. If we attempt to smooth over differences to give the appearance that ŌĆ£all is well,ŌĆØ we merely postpone the conflict, letting it fester until it becomes irresolvable. If we seek to achieve our goals by demeaning, attacking, or destroying the other, we lose the respect and trust of the larger community ŌĆö and with it the possibility of building lasting solutions.
But if we treat others with respect, listen for understanding, try to understand their reasons and needs, manifest patience and humility, acknowledge our own fallibility, show a willingness to forgive, speak the truth in love, and honor the dignity and sacred worth of all as sons and daughters of God, we have the best chance of building and maintaining a real democracy.
Civility begins with us.

Freedom Editorial
T he First Amendment is Americans' pre-
cious protection of the rights to freedom
of press, assembly, speech, petition and religion.
But government ever is testing the boundaries of what it can restrict, as is evident in the federal investigation into who in the Bush administration in 2003 revealed to members of the media that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent. She is the wife of Joseph Wilson, the former ambassador to Niger.
On Monday, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Thomas F. Hogan held Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper in contempt of court "for failing to reveal sources who disclosed that Plame was an undercover CIA officer," reported Editor & Publisher magazine. "In addition, Walter Pincus, a reporter for The Washington Post, received a subpoena Monday ordering him to testify in the investigation …. Other newspaper reporters are expected to receive subpoenas soon."
Some states have a "shield law" that protects journalists from revealing their confidential sources. But the federal government has no such law; however, its lawyers cannot go first to journalists for information in prosecuting a case.
The case of journalists in the Plame situation probably "will go the U.S. Supreme Court" for a decision, Terry Francke said; he's the former general counsel of the California First Amendment Coalition and head of Californians Aware, a new open-government organization.
"Based on everything I've seen," Francke said, "I doubt that the Supreme Court is going to modify its approach from the last time around. When a journalist is a witness to a crime, or has evidence, the First Amendment is not a protection to a journalist having to give testimony before a grand jury, as shown in a couple of cases in the 1970s. I would not be optimistic that this court would be more flexible than was the court in the 1970s."
Editors most often agree to withhold a name when the value of what the source has to say is extremely important, and the source's livelihood, or even life, would be in jeopardy if the source were named. It is an agreement not lightly made.
We believe the words beginning the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law … ," should be taken literally with regard to the press and other freedoms there enumerated. Even though it seems unlikely, we still hope the Supreme Court reverses its action in the 1970s and restores to journalists the right to keep secret those sources that are promised anonymity. And Congress should pass a federal shield law.
This isn't just a parochial matter for those in our industry. If sources cannot be kept confidential, those sources will clam up in the future and government will be able to be even more secretive. An open society demands that any balance between openness and government investigatory power must be decided in favor of openness.
For an alternative, one need only look at Russia in recent years, where the formerly wild and open press of the Yeltsin era has been muzzled under the regime of Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer.
As Thomas Jefferson so wisely wrote, "Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press, nor that be limited without danger of losing it."

PHOTO: Ian Desmond celebrates after hitting a grand slam against Michael Stutes. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum)Ian Desmond hit a grand slam in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 Wednesday night, avoiding a three-game sweep.
Jayson Werth's RBI single with two outs in the ninth tied it off Jonathan Papelbon, who blew a save for the second time in three nights after starting the season 13 for 13.
Starters Kyle Kendrick and Gio Gonzalez both were outstanding, but wound up with no-decisions.
Kendrick allowed one run and two hits, striking out six in 7 2-3 innings. Gonzalez gave up two runs and two hits, tying a career-high with 11 strikeouts in seven innings. He didn't allow a hit after the second batter.
That hit was Phillies third baseman Michael Young becoming the 242nd major league player to reach 1,000 career RBIs with a two-run homer. RBIs became an official stat in 1920. There are 18 other active players with 1,000.
Young, a seven-time All-Star infielder, is in his first season in Philadelphia after spending his first 13 seasons with Texas.

El Camp Nou
Inagurated in 1957 Camp Nou (New Field) the stadium of FC Barcelona is the largest stadium in Europe and one of the largest in the world. Camp Nou Experience: Camp Nou experience begins with a tour over the stadium: the visitors have an access to the locker room and make the same way as the players going to the field; they walk on the grass that was a witness of many games.
The presidential seats, the bench and the press room are some of the places that are visited while the audio guide tells the story of the stadium and the greatest victories of the team.
The final point of the visit is the Museum of FC Barcelona, a place that allows to know the history of the club over more than 100 years through photographs and memorabilia and see different trophies and personal belongings of the greatest legends who were the part of the team throughout its history.

Researchers have found that tape made from gelatin could provide more information to forensics teams than current methods that can alter prints and eliminate traces of telltale chemicals.
The gel tape can gather prints from a variety of surfaces, according to LiveScience.com. The gelatin is then irradiated with infrared rays inside an instrument that rapidly takes a kind of "chemical photograph," identifying molecules in the print within 30 seconds, says physical chemist Sergei Kazarian at Imperial College London.
The small amount of fluid in a fingerprint could reveal data such as if it came from a male, based on a greater amount of urea in the fluid, or even whether a person is a smoker or a vegetarian.
Researchers' findings are detailed in the Aug. 1 issue of the journal Analytical Chemistry.
"More volunteers need to be tested for statistical information on fingerprints with regard to race, sex, and so on, but we believe this will be a powerful tool," says Kazarian, whose team developed the method.
