Residents of Syze village say they feel abandoned and alone
The road to Ukraine's eastern village of Syze is abandoned and deserted.
One side of the village has the threat of land mines. And the end of the main road at the edge is only several kilometers away from an area occupied by Russian-backed separatist forces.
Valentina, Syze resident: "We're stuck between Ukraine and [separatist-controlled] Luhansk. And we suffer the most: we're hit both by missiles from both sides. That house over there was hit directly by a missile."

The population has decreased to around 10 residents. With no transportation to and from the village. Those that have stayed - feel abandoned.
Valentina, Syze resident: "Every day we keep asking: What's on the news? Have there been any decisions? Have the presidents solved anything? Heavens, when will they finally resolve all of this? We can't wait any longer. Do something. We've had enough already. We want peace and a normal human life."

United States District Court, N.D. Illinois
March 19, 2004.
NEG MICON USA, INC., Plaintiff
NORTHERN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY and NAVITAS ENERGY, INC., Defendants
In this diversity case, NEG Micon USA, Inc. ("MEG Micon") has sued
Northern Alternative Energy ("NAE") for breach of contract and injunctive
relief and Navitas Energy, Inc. ("Navitas") for breach of contract,
injunctive relief, tortious interference with contract, and tortious
interference with prospective economic advantage. Before the Court is
Navitas' motion to dismiss Counts I, III,*fn1 IV, and V and NAE's motion
to dismiss Counts I, II, and III for failure to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
("Rule") 12(b)(6). For the reasons provided in this Memorandum Opinion
and Order, the Court grants in part and denies in part the motions.
On October 21, 1999, NEG Micon entered into an Agreement with NAE
entitled "Memorandum of Understanding" ("Agreement"). The Agreement
related to the development
Page 2
of a wind power plant in northern Illinois. NAE is in the business
of developing wind power plants, while NEG Micon is in the business of
selling wind turbines for use at such plants. The one-page Agreement
(see Compl., Ex. A) specifically stated the following:
1. Pre-development Investigation. NEG Micon and NAE
have agreed to jointly participate in a
pre-development investigation of a wind power plant in
northern Illinois. NEG Micon and NAE have retained the
services of Tom Factor of the Iowa Wind Energy
Institute to investigate candidate sites in northern
Illinois. Tom Factor's services will begin in October
of 1999. NEG Micon will provide an in-kind
contribution of one fully equipment [sic] 50 meter met
station and the labor to install and decommission the
station at one candidate site. NAE will supply the
equipment for one additional monitoring station on an
existing communication tower at another candidate
site. NAE will determine, control and compensate all
activities of Tom Factor with regard to these
pre-development activities. It is anticipated that
this pre-development work will result in providing
sufficient data necessary to substantiate wind power
project proposal early in 2000.
2. Project Proposal. It is the intent of NEG Micon and
NAE to jointly propose a 31.5 megawatt wind power
project consisting of 35 NEG Micon 900/52 wind
turbines at the best candidate site in northern
Illinois. The proposal would be presented to the newly
established board of the $250 million Illinois Clean
Energy Trust sometime within the first quarter of
2000. Under this agreement NAE would be the project
developer and owner and NEG Micon would be the
exclusive supplier of the wind turbines for any
project at both of above-mentioned candidate sites
resulting out of the pre-development investigation.
3. Confidentiality. Under this agreement NEG Micon and
NAE will have joint access to all pre-development data
provided by the [sic] Tom Factor and both wind
monitoring stations. Both NEG Micon and NAE will be
allowed to share all information associated with these
pre-development activities with other parties.
Subsequent to the execution of the Agreement, and after the first phase
of the Agreement had been completed, NAE's officers formed Navitas. In
September 2002, Navitas was sold to Gamesa, a supplier of wind turbines
and direct competitor of NEG Micon.
Page 3
Navitas is moving forward with developing a wind power plant in Mendota
Hills, Illinois, which is located adjacent to, or in the same area as,
the Compton met station that NEC Micon helped to develop and oversee in
the pre-development stage. Gamesa will supply wind turbines for the
project. NEG Micon alleges Navitas has used information gathered by the
Princeton met station and Compton met station to develop the Mendota
Hills site. NEG Micon further alleges that Navitas was the alter ego of
NAE at all times relevant to this lawsuit and that NAE and Navitas are
breaching NEG Micon's exclusive contract to supply turbines.
Alternatively, NEG Micon alleges that Navitas is tortiously interfering
with NEG Micon's economic interest. Navitas now moves to dismiss all NEG
Micon's claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6).
Complaints are to be read liberally, and district court may grant a
motion to dismiss for failure to state claim only if it is beyond doubt
that nonmovant can plead no facts that would support nonmovant's claim
for relief. Palda v. Gen. Dynamics Corp., 47 F.3d 872, 874 (7th Cir.
1995). To withstand a motion to dismiss, a complaint must allege facts
sufficiently setting forth the essential elements of the cause of
action. Gray v. County of Dane, 854 F.2d 179, 182 (7th Cir. 1988). The
court must accept all well-pleaded factual allegations in the light most
favorable to the plaintiff. Colfax Corp. v. Ill. State Toll Highway
Auth., 79 F.3d 631, 632 (7th Cir. 1996).
Page 4
I. Count I: Breach of Contract Against Navitas and NAE
Navitas and NAE argue that Count I fails to state a claim for two
reasons: (1) nothing on the face of the Agreement indicates any present
intent to develop a wind power project; and (2) the Agreement lacks all
of the essential terms necessary to create an exclusive supply contract.
Both of these reasons are insufficient to dismiss count I for failure to
state a claim.
When determining the substantive nature of the contract at issue, this
Court applies Illinois law. See Erie R.R. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 77-80
(1938). In Quake Construction Inc. v. American Airlines, the Illinois
Supreme Court laid out a clear test for determining whether a contract
poses a question of law that can be determined in a motion to dismiss or
poses a question of fact that cannot be determined in such a motion.
565 N.E.2d 990, 994 (Ill. 1990). Under this test, a trial court must
initially determine as a matter of law whether the language of a
purported contract is ambiguous as to the parties' intent. Id. If no
ambiguity exists in the writing, the parties' intent must be derived by
the trial court, as a matter of law, solely from the writing itself. Id.
If the terms of an alleged contract are ambiguous or capable of more than
one interpretation, however, parole evidence is admissible to ascertain
the parties' intent. Id. If the language of an alleged contract is
ambiguous regarding the parties' intent, the interpretation of the
language is a question of fact which a trial court cannot properly
determine on a motion to dismiss. Id.
At issue is whether the parties intended to form a contract whereby NEG
Micon would be the exclusive supplier of wind turbines for any wind power
project at candidate sites in northern Illinois resulting from
pre-development investigation as stated in the Memorandum of
Understanding. (See Compl. Ex. A.) Navitas argues the language in
paragraph 2 of the Agreement constitutes an unenforceable "agreement to
agree," as the parties speak only of a
Page 5
future intent to present a proposal to build a wind power plant. NEG
Micon's Complaint alleges the language of paragraph 2 formed a binding
contract, relying on the sentence "Under this agreement NAE would be the
project developer and owner and NEG Micon would be the exclusive suppler
of the wind turbines for any project at both of the above-mentioned
candidate sites resulting out of the pre-development investigation."
(Compl. ¶ 13.) NEG Micon further alleges that Navitas was either held
out to be the equivalent, or otherwise was the alter ego, of NAE for
purposes of the Agreement. (Id. ¶¶ 14-18.)
Both NEG Micon and Navitas offer reasonable interpretations of
paragraph 2 of the Agreement, and therefore ambiguity exists as to the
parties' intent. A reasonable reading of NEG Micon's Complaint is that
Navitas, which was held out to be the same entity as or is the alter-ego
of NAE, breached its obligation to use NEG Micon turbines after NEG Micon
contributed significant resources to the pre-development investigation at
a site that was located within or adjacent to the candidate site in
Mendota Hills. Because paragraph 2 of the Agreement is ambiguous
regarding the parties' intent, the meaning of the Agreement cannot be
properly determined on a motion to dismiss.
Navitas also argues that the Agreement cannot be considered a binding
contract because it lacks material terms such as price, warranty,
delivery, etc. Illinois law dictates that in a requirements contract, the
court can supply all terms except the quantity term. See Indus. Specialty
Chems., Inc. v. Cummins Engine Co., Inc., 902 F. Supp. 805, 810 (N.D.
Ill. 1995). Paragraph 2 of the Agreement contains the quantity term "35
NEG Micon 900/52 wind turbines." Therefore, Navitas argument that the
Agreement lacks material terms fails.
In sum, taking NEG Micon's well-pleaded allegations as true and reading
the complaint liberally, as the Court must when considering a motion to
dismiss, the Court determines
Page 6
ambiguity exists as to the parties intent under the Agreement.
Therefore, the Court denies Navitas and NAE's motions to dismiss as to
Count I.
II. Count II: Breach of Contract Against NAE
In Count II, NEG Micon brings a separate breach of contract claim
solely against NAE, alleging NAE breached the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing concerning the Agreement. Illinois courts have stated that
every contract implies good faith and fair dealing between the parties to
it. Snap-on Inc. v. Ortiz, No. 96 C 2138, 1999 WL 592194, at *13 (N.D.
Ill. Aug. 3, 1999). Breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing is
simply a breach of the underlying contract. Id. NEG Micon has already
pleaded a breach of contract claim against NAE in Count I. Count II relies
on the same written Agreement and makes identical factual allegations as
those in Count I. Count II is duplicative of Count I and is therefore
stricken. The Court grants NAE's motion to dismiss as to Count II.
III. Count IV: Tortious Interference with Contract Against Navitas
A claim for tortious interference with contract requires: "(1) the
existence of a valid and enforceable contract between the plaintiff and
another; (2) the defendant's awareness of this contractual relation; (3)
the defendant's intentional and unjustified inducement of a breach of the
contract; (4) a subsequent breach by the other, caused by the defendant's
wrongful conduct; and (5) damages." Int'l Marketing, Ltd, v.
Archer-Daniels Midland Co., Inc., 192 F.3d 724, 731 (7th Cir. 1999).
NEG Micon sufficiently alleges these elements in Count IV of the
complaint. First, NEG Micon alleges the existence of a valid and
enforceable contract between NEG Micon and NAE.
Page 7
(Compl. ¶ 43.) Second, NEG Micon alleges Navitas was aware of the
Agreement between NEG Micon and NAE. (Id. ¶ 45.) Third, NEG Micon
alleges Navitas intentionally and unjustifiably induced NAE to breach its
exclusive supply agreement with NEG Micon. (Id. ¶ 46.) Fourth, NEG Micon
alleges subsequent breach by NAE due to Navitas' inducement. (Id. ¶¶ 46,
47.) Fifth, NEG Micon alleges it incurred damages due to NAE's breach of
the Agreement. (Id. ¶ 48.) Taking NEG Micon's well pleaded allegations
as true, Count IV sufficiently states a claim for tortious interference
with contract. Accordingly, Navitas' motion to dismiss Count IV is
IV. Count V: Tortious Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage
Against Navitas
To state a claim for tortious interference with prospective economic
advantage, a plaintiff must allege: "1) the plaintiffs reasonable
expectation of entering into a valid business relationship; 2) the
defendant's knowledge of the plaintiff's expectancy; 3) purposeful
interference by the defendant that prevents the plaintiff's legitimate
expectancy from being fulfilled; and 4) damages to the plaintiff resulting
from the defendant's interference." Delloma v. Consol. Coal Co.,
996 F.2d 168, 171 (7th Cir. 1993).
NEG Micon sufficiently alleges these elements in Count V of the
Complaint. First, NEG Micon alleges a reasonable expectation of entering
into a valid business relationship in connection with the development of
a wind power project in northern Illinois. (Compl. ¶ 50.) Second, NEG
Micon alleges Navitas was aware of this expectation. (Id.) Third, NEG
Micon alleges Navitas unjustifiably interfered with NEG Micon's
expectation by taking over the development of the wind power project in
northern Illinois from NAE. (Id. ¶ 51.) Fourth, NEG
Page 8
Micon alleges damages resulting from Navitas' interference. (Id.) Again,
taking NEG Micon's well pleaded allegations as true, Count V sufficiently
states a claim for tortious interference with prospective economic
advantage. Thus, Navitas' motion to dismiss Count V is denied.
For the forgoing reasons, the Court grants in part and denies in part
Navitas and NAE's motions to dismiss brought pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P.
12(b)(6). The Court grants the motions to dismiss as to Count II, and
denies the motions as to Counts I, IV, and V. Plaintiff is granted leave
to file an amended complaint that comports with this opinion.

ET in the Classroom: Freezing of Bank Accounts
What is freezing of bank accounts?
Freezing of bank account means there will be no transaction in that account until further notice. No money can be debited from the account from the specified date. All payments will be stopped even in case of cheques issued earlier by the account holder. However, any deposit already in the pipeline can be credited.
Who can freeze bank accounts?
Regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India, Securities and Exchange Board of India, income-tax authorities or courts can issue orders to freeze bank accounts.
Can bank freeze accounts suo moto?
Banks do not have the power to freeze bank accounts per se. But a bank can act proactively if it finds unusual or suspect transactions in any account. In such cases, the bank has to send a notice to the customer first before freezing the account. However, banks can freeze a savings account if it has been used for commercial purposes as business activity in these accounts is prohibited under RBI rules.
Can an account be frozen if it is not KYC-compliant?
Bank may freeze an account or stop other banking facilities if the customer does not furnish know-your-customer (KYC) documents. But in April last year, the Gujarat High Court ruled that even if a customer does not comply with KYC guidelines a bank can neither freeze the account nor can it stop issuing cheque books or providing ATM facility.
What happens to idle accounts?
Idle or inoperative bank accounts are those where no deposit or withdrawal is made in two years except for interest payments credited. Banks don't have the rights to freeze these accounts. Moreover, such accounts can be reactivated without paying any charges. However, banks do verify the person's credentials afresh before reactivating the accounts.

The Corvette is a sports car created by Chevrolet.
The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors (GM) that has been produced in six generations. The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The National Corvette Museum documents the car's history, hosts exhibits, tours, and the annual anniversary celebration.

New Michelin tyres roll on to the market
A new set of Michelin tyres has been unveiled, with the new compounds set to promote energy efficiency alongside improved driving range.
The new tyres have been produced to complement the arrival of the new Renault Zoe.
Dubbed the Michelin Energy E-V tyres, these latest compounds are the result of four years of research and innovation by Renault and the French compound maker.
The result is the new tyre design, which has been built to fit 15 and 16-inch wheels and will come as standard in all Renault Zoe models.
These new designs have been formulated using a special kind of rubber that does not heat up as much when driving – resulting in a reduction in overall energy consumption.
With tyres accounting for around 30 per cent of energy consumed by an average vehicle, this represents a major step forward for Michelin.
Meanwhile the rubber used in the contact patch of the compound actually heats up quickly once brakes are applied.
This results in a shortening of braking distances and with it improved handling and drivability.
In near-urban use, for example, the Michelin Energy E-V tyres can increase the Renault ZOE's range by up to six per cent depending on the type of use.

- Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Bourbon
Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans are very distinct, with a flavor and aroma profile, unlike any other vanilla bean. Madagascar vanilla beans are processed using the "Bourbon" curing method. This technique typically produces vanilla beans with higher moisture content. Our Bourbon vanilla beans have a moisture content of roughly 33%. You'll notice that there are no breaks or splits within the vanilla beans; another indication of extremely high quality.These beans are best for homemade vanilla extracts and work in practically all recipes.
The Best Source"...Madagascar vanilla beans stand up to cooking and have a lovely, warm flavor. The Best Source: Buying vanilla beans in bulk is a great value. Beanilla Trading sells beans, extracts, and powders from around the world, in a variety of quantities. Madagascar beans, $13 for 10, beanilla.com"
—Taste-Test Winners, Martha Stewart Living, April 2010
Best of the Bean"For smooth, pure-tasting vanilla extract, make your own...If you want to fill several bottles, it's worth buying the pods in bulk. Beanilla.com charges $13 for 10 (Madagascar variety); the site also sells glass jars"
—Ask Martha, Martha Stewart Living, February 2011
Beans In Bulk"...To save money, order vanilla beans online from sites such as beanilla.com. You'll end up spending a lot less ($13 plus shipping for 10 Madagascar beans) than you would buying them from a supermarket. And of course, the more beans you buy, the cheaper they are."
—DIY Vanilla Extract, America's Test Kitchen D.I.Y Cookbook, 2012
Quality"No matter the variety, sourcing from high-quality distributors is a must to ensure the freshest, most nuanced beans....Beans should be moist and very pliable; a stiff, brittle feel indicates that the flavor-packed essential oils have evaporated. Stored in a sealed container away from sunlight, vanilla pods will keep for up to a year."
—Elizabeth Gunnison Dunn, Vanilla Beans That Are Anything but Plain Vanilla, The Wall Street Journal, Sept. 21, 2013
**Please Note: When purchasing vanilla beans by weight, please be aware that you may not receive the exact number of beans you are expecting from our estimates. Like any agricultural product, our vanilla beans have the potential to vary in length & size from crop-to-crop. If you need to ensure that you receive an exact quantity of whole beans we recommend purchasing a specific quantity amount.**

- Reviews (5762)
- Questions (32)
Thank you for your email, as with any crop there are good and bad years. Unfortunately 2015 was a very bad year for vanilla beans around the world, the harvest was about 55% less than the previous year. With demand still at the same level and supply down, the prices have been driven up. With the new crops coming to market at the beginning of 2017 we are hoping that the prices come back down in the second quarter.
Thank you for your question, the $22 price for the Madagascar vanilla beans is a google ad from last year, if you watch it the expiration date will change automatically. We have no association with this ad, the current pricing for these beans can be found on our website.
Thank you for your question, there are 45-55 Madagascar vanilla beans in an 8oz package.
Thank you for your question, this is a google ad that was placed last fall, we have been trying to tae it down through Google. The current pricing for the Madagascar vanilla beans are listed on our website.
Thank you for your question, with the short supply of vanilla beans available, the prices have been drastically affected. Our current pricing on the Beanilla website will be the official one, the 10pk of Madagascar vanilla beans are $29.95 and free shipping.
Thank you for your question, the $29.95 price is an old special from the beginning of the year still listed on Google ads, the current price is $39.95 with Free Shipping.
More to your question: 4 oz is about 1/8th of a liter, so if you're looking at 20 beans per liter, you would want no less than 2 beans per 4-oz bottle. I would personally err on the side of generous and use 3 full beans in your 4-oz bottles since, as the extract is used, the bottle should be topped off to get maximum life out of the product. This should extend the useful life of the gift nicely.
Thank you for your email, we recommend 7 vanilla beans per 8oz (1 cup) of liquid, if you are under that then you can add more beans. Always feel free to let the extract sit for as long as you like, be sure to give the bottle a gentle shake once a week to agitate the beans.
Thank you for your question, currently we do not have a set date to bring the Madagascar vanilla beans, grade B back into stock. Feel free to send us your email address and we will be happy to place you on our notification list.
Feel free to contact SpiceJungle/Beanilla @ 888 261-3384, we would be happy to answer questions or place an order for you.
We do not work with the Fair Trade Organization as there is little regulation on floor prices, many of which are hardly higher than market price, farmers typically make more on non-FTO products and also because FTO, a "non-profit" organization takes a portion of the profits.
Thank you very much for the question! Yes, prices have increased drastically over the past 9 months. The reason has to do with the global supply of vanilla. Madagascar produces approximately 80% of the vanilla that is available worldwide. In most years, there is very little left over inventory from one year to the next. Most of what is grown one year is sold that same year to satisfy the global demand for vanilla. Last year, the crop in Madagascar (and several other vanilla product countries) was less than 50% of the size that it typically is. The crop is the smallest it has been in over 12 years. The very low supply has caused two issues. One, many companies simply can not get the vanilla they need to satisfy their product or customers. Second, because supply is so small, prices have increased sharply. We are fortunate to have enough vanilla to last us for the rest of the year, however, we were not able to escape the increase in cost. The quality of the vanilla that we were able to secure is also superb.
Hopefully this helps explain the current situation. The good news is that the crop for 2016 appears to be strong and of normal size.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Best regards,
Thank you for contacting us. Great question! The different quantities are listed right under the main photo on the product page. There should be listings for different counts of vanilla beans plus different weights. Please let us know if you are still not seeing the options, it may be a caused by an error with the web browser.
Best regards,
Thanks for the review and question. Typically the vanilla beans are very consistent in size and shape. However, as an agricultural product, every now and then a few smaller (or larger) beans may be mixed in the package. If these are beans are less than 5" in length we are happy to replace them with larger ones.
Best regards,
Here are some tips for keeping your vanilla beans at their best.
Storage - Wrap your vanilla beans in either wax paper or plastic wrap and store in an airtight glass or Tupperware container. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible from the container to prevent the vanilla beans from drying out.
Location - You should never store your vanilla beans in the refrigerator. Refrigeration can cause excess moisture in Grade A Vanilla Beans to promote a particular type of mold specific to vanilla. We recommend storing your airtight container in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or basement.
Airing – Vanilla beans should be aired regularly. Simply remove the beans from the container every few weeks to circulate the air for approximately 10-15 minutes.
Life Span – Vanilla beans that have been stored correctly in ideal conditions can last upwards to two years. We recommend buying quantities that you intend on using within 6-8 months.
Dry or Moldy Vanilla Beans – If your vanilla beans have dried out, you can re-hydrate them in either milk or warm water for several hours. If your vanilla beans appear to contain "frost", do not mistake this as mold. Frosty Vanillin crystals can develop on vanilla beans as the vanillin inside the bean migrates to the surface while the beans dry. These crystals appear shiny and are edible. If you do suspect actual mold, please discard the vanilla beans
Great question! The Madagascar vanilla beans would give a very smooth, traditional, rich vanilla flavor. If you are looking for something a bit more bold, we would recommend trying the Mexican or Ugandan vanilla beans. Both tend to have a darker flavor with tones of smoke and chocolate.

Nuclear Power in the Wake of Japan: 2,452 Spent Fuel Assemblies Stored at San Onofre
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Southern California's San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station has plenty of spent fuel on-hand, Fukushima-style.
There are 2,452 spent fuel assemblies from three reactors (one is being used only as storage) there, we're told, versus 4,685 at the ailing, radiation-spewing, six-reactor Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan
Daniel Hirsch, a nuclear policy lecturer at the UC Santa Cruz, says the storage of spent fuel at nuclear power stations is not good news for folks in Japan or America:
"The meltdown occurring at Japanese reactors can happen. ... San Onofre is near (earthquake) faults that could trigger such an event," he tells Scripps Howard News Service. "The risk is not trivial."

TicketsSun., Dec. 11, 6:30pm
Los Angeles Clippers v Portland - Verified Resale Tickets
TicketsMon., Dec. 12, 7:30pm
The nuclear waste at Fukushima might be its biggest problem, as spent assemblies at its number four reactor might be producing more radiation than anything else there. The leftovers heat up and release hazardous material as a result of a lack of cooling, which must be constantly in place regardless of whether the fuel is in storage.
Cooling was disabled by power outages to primary and backup power caused by the quake and tsunami.
Could it happen here? Maybe.
The spent-fuel debate came to Sacramento today as the Senate Select Committee on Earthquake and Disaster Preparedness took on nuclear safety in the wake of Japan's earthquake-and-tsunami-triggered radiation crises.
As the New Yorker notes in a commentary for next week, Fukushimi was built to withstand a big earthquake and a major tsunami, but not both. Yet earthquakes are what trigger tsunamis.
And both could happen to San Onofre, just across the line from Orange County, too.
A study found a fault five miles offshore from San Onofre that could produce a quake greater than what the plant is rated to withstand (a 7.0). Not to mention the San Andreas fault to the east, which could do worse (although it would not produce a tsunami).
Not good news.

SEC proposes across-the-board trading halt to prevent market swoon
The Securities and Exchanges Commission on Tuesday outlined steps to avert a repeat of the stock-market swoon on May 6, proposing a five-minute halt in trading for any given stock across all exchanges if the share falls by over 10% in five minutes.
Apart from the "circuit breaker" proposal, the agency is also examining many other practices, including how to reduce the use of "stub'' quotes and short-term trading strategies.
The new rules would be implemented on a pilot basis until December 10 for stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, and will be extended to other stocks "as soon as practicable", the SEC said.
The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission also released a report focusing on six areas to determine the exact factors behind the volatility in the Dow Jones Industrial Average on May 6.
The report's preliminary findings indicate potential causes such as a "severe mismatch in liquidity"; the effect of stop-loss and other market orders; and a possible connection between the sharp decline in stock index products with "simultaneous and subsequent waves of selling in individual securities".

TITLE: Maybe (That's Never)
AUTHOR: freelance spice
RATING: R for language
PAIRING: Charlotte/other, Charlotte/Stacey
DISCLAIMER: Ann M. Martin, baby. But Westlake Academy and all her pretties (other than Ms. Johannsen) belong to me.
SUMMARY: Charlotte's reflecting.
NOTES: This is a spin-off of The Kristy Thomas Guide to High School Romance. I dedicate it to fox1013, even though she may just kick me in the shins and run away after reading it.
I'm serving a sentence. The crime is love. The term is six years. I'm halfway to my release.
Fuck, that sounds so overdramatic. This is the kind of shit those Ricky Ullman fan club girls write all over their notebooks. I might have to throw up before I can continue.
I'm Charlotte Johannsen. I'm fifteen. All this crap about serving time for the heart can be boiled down to this: I got rejected, so I skipped town. Sweet deal, huh? She's older than me and told me to wait till I was older, so now we're both passing the time away from each other just so we can find out if she was blowing me off or if she was actually serious.
Whatever. That's later. Currently, I'm making do with life in boarding school. It's funny, some girls got sent here as a punishment, to clean up their acts, crap like that. I wanted to come here. Figured it'd be stimulating to throw myself into the mix with a couple hundred girls. And I thought the academics might be a challenge, too.
When I first got here, I was twelve, stupidly planning to save myself for the love of my life, thinking I could manage the time by burying myself in schoolwork and any extra curriculars that didn't demand me putting myself in front of people. Shy was a good descriptive adjective for me back then. Still can be now, only not so much. Naïve would be another one.
Not so much now. We all grow, we all change, we all make out with girls we barely know at parties we probably shouldn't be at in the first place because your French final is tomorrow at eight am sharp but you don't care, for the first time in your life, you really don't fucking care. And it's the best choice you ever made because that was the end of the old Charlotte and the beginning of this Charlotte, the one who sleeps through half her classes and still manages to pull a 4.1 GPA which is enough to keep the faculty off her back so she can do whatever she wants as long as she shows up for class.
Shandi should be back by now. She went into town with some of the other fourth floor girls. Shandi's my roommate. In some senses, I suppose she's like a girlfriend. There's some making out. Hell, there's a lot of it. Tons if she manages to score a bottle of flavored vodka from her brother, Kyle. He's in community college and hooks her up whenever he's working at the liquor store down on Sixth Street. No sex, though. Not yet, anyway.
When I first met her, I couldn't get past her name. What the fuck kind of name is Shandi, right? I saw her around school, didn't say much to her, because, why? Then, when we got our room assignments this year, there she was, bringing out the fuckability factor of the Westdale Academy uniform. Which is ironic, because, as I said before. No sex. Yet.
She's sixteen. A year older than me. I skipped a grade way back when, which is fine, because this means I get to stare at junior girls all class period.
Fuck, I sound like some undersexed teen boy. I have had sex, for the record. Just not with Shandi. Not that I'm whoring it up. I'm not a slut, despite what some people may pass around in the locker room. I'm just not going to sit around and stare at my shoes if there's someone interested, even if it is just experimental or whatever.
Stacey says to be careful. Her last email was loaded with advice about not getting wrapped up in straight girls because I'll just get my heart broken. Which is goddamn ridiculous, coming from her. It's her fault I'm here, spending nights filtered though cheap chardonnay with girls like Marie Gerard, who had just gotten dumped by her public school jock boyfriend and was looking to just forget the stupid bastard for five minutes. I didn't say that, though. My return email was full of enthusiasm for passing all her midterms at NYU. I even threw in something friendly about her new boyfriend of the moment.
Christ, I sound like some kind of bitch. I want Stacey to be doing well and happy and everything. I worry about her. Then again, I'm sure she worries about me.
All's fair, right?
What the hell is taking Shandi so long? I knew I should have gone along and gotten cigarettes myself. I'm about the claw the eyes out of Ricky Ullman Fan Club for playing, of all pieces of shit on earth, the Macarena on repeat like it's something new and brilliant as it eats through the carpet under my feet and permeates my brain.
That's it. I'm putting the speakers face down on the floor and cranking Romeo Void.

Picking up again from the "Business of Medicine" conference in
In the evening of the first day, after a day of discussing issues around managing practices, Dr. Eugene Platt stood up to speak. He began by saying that he had a different definition of the "business of medicine". To him, the "business of medicine" is about taking care of patients.
I could sense a pause in the room – the "grab the collar" moment that snaps you back to focus on the right things. My mantra to physicians has long been to focus on their patients and everything will work out. In my talk, I spoke of my late uncle who, subject to quotas in US medical schools in the 1930s, joined several friends in starting medical school in Edinboro, Scotland and, after World War II broke out, went on to the University of Geneva where they graduated in 1944. One has to really want to be a physician to do take the adventure and risk of going to school thousands of miles away, surrounded by the Nazis. When he came home, he earned $50 a month as an intern.

Border Patrol agent arrested in smuggling probe
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) – A U.S. Border Patrol agent has been arrested after authorities say he used his patrol vehicle to smuggle drugs while on duty in southwest Arizona, according to a federal complaint.
Aaron Anaya was on patrol Sunday evening when he stopped along the international border, then loaded up several bundles of marijuana that had been dropped over the fence from Mexico, according to the complaint filed this week in federal court in Arizona.
Agents assigned to the Southwest Border Corruption Task Force had been conducting aerial surveillance in the area between Yuma and Wellton, about 185 miles southwest of Phoenix, when they spotted Anaya stop along the fence and retrieve the bundles, the complaint states. It does not say whether Anaya was the target of the initial surveillance or merely observed during the overall operation.
Authorities say the task force continued to track Anaya for several hours as he appeared to return to normal patrol duties.
The complaint says the agent was later arrested with nearly 147 pounds of marijuana found in three black duffel bags in his Border Patrol vehicle.
He is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and carrying a firearm _ his service weapons _ while committing the crime.
Asked if he was willing to speak to investigators, Anaya responded with an expletive, then said, "You guys got me on video," before asking for an attorney, according to the complaint.
Anaya's federal public defender didn't immediately return a telephone message Tuesday. His telephone number wasn't listed. Union representatives for the Border Patrol's Yuma sector didn't respond to emails.
The FBI, which was part of the task force, declined to discuss the case.
Yuma Sector Chief Border Patrol Agent Stephen S. Martin said the agency will fully cooperate with investigators.
"While I am sorely disappointed by the alleged conduct of one of our own, I appreciate the efforts by our law enforcement partners and our own agents to uncover those that violate their oath of office, and hold them accountable for their actions," Martin said in a statement Tuesday.

As I have already discussed, the red-band (mature material) trailer for the upcoming film "Kick-Ass" has an 11-year-old character played by a now-13-year-old girl using extremely crude language. The New York Times article focused on the accessibility of the trailer online, though it is supposed to be limited to adult audiences. But there is another aspect I'd like to look at as well. This movie is the third in recent months to feature a child using very crude or obscene language as a source of humor or as a signifier of coolness. I think it is because we are now numb to the shock value of even the strongest language used by adults, so all that is left is to have those words said by children.
In Cop Out a child who is referred to as the top local car thief uses a string of obscene epithets, kicks another character in the crotch, and then is himself kicked in the crotch. Bobb'e J. Thompson, now 13, has pretty much made a career of being the outrageous kid in movies like the 2008 release Role Models, where his character's extreme and raunchy language is supposed to be funny.
We have a lot of rules to protect child performers. Their work hours are limited and the production is responsible for making sure they do not miss schoolwork. Their earnings are set aside so they cannot be appropriated by managers or family members. I do not want to impinge on anyone's freedom of expression or artistic integrity, but I do not think that is what is at stake here. This is just exploitation of children who are not capable of protecting themselves. If an adult approached a child in the playground and used that language, he'd be arrested as a sexual predator. Is it really all right for us to allow children to use that language in a movie?
What a wonderful way to celebrate the birthday of the great Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss — each year on March 2 volunteers, many of them wearing red and white striped Cat in the Hat top hats — read aloud to children in their classrooms as a part of the Read Across America Day program. Today's celebration included First Lady Michelle Obama, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, along with members of Congress, NEA leaders, and hundreds of local students at the Library of Congress. And the NEA released this list of favorites from our elected officials. Every one of them is a great choice for families to share.
Was it a Dr. Seuss classic like Green Eggs and Ham or The Cat in the Hat? Maybe it was The Little Engine That Could? Or perhaps they preferred thrillers and suspense novels like those in The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew mystery series?
For the National Education Association's 13th annual Read Across America celebration, we asked members of Congress to share their all-time favorite children's book!
SEN. MARK BEGICH (Alaska)
Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss
"It's difficult to pick a favorite children's book because there are so many great ones I've enjoyed over the years. But I'll have to go with Horton Hears a Who! as one of my all-time favorites. You can read it over and over again and it never gets old. I loved it growing up, and it's a frequent choice in our house now with my young son, Jacob."
REP. MARION BERRY (Ariz.)
Uncle Remus by Joel Chandler Harris "Don't throw me in the briar patch!"
REP. JOHN BOCCIERI (Ohio)
The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
"As a father of four young children, I know how important it is to read to our kids. I enjoy sharing my favorite childhood book, The Lorax, with my own children because it shows the responsibility we have to leave earth and our community in a much better plan than we found it."
REP. JOHN CAMPBELL (Calif.)
Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman
"I have fond memories of reading Are You my Mother? to my sons when they were little. Although they are now grown, and have since graduated from college, it remains one of my favorite children's books."
REP. LOIS CAPPS (Calif.)
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis SEN. BEN CARDIN (Md.)
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss REP. TRAVIS W. CHILDERS (Miss.)
The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper
"The Little Engine That Could is my favorite children's book because it is a story about determination. This book emphasizes the importance of persistence when aspiring toward a goal and it teaches us that anything can be done when we work hard."
SEN. SUSAN COLLINS (Maine)
Antlers Forever by Frances Bloxam
"One of my favorite things to do as a U.S. Senator is to visit schools and read to children. Since I was first elected to the Senate, I have visited 170 schools throughout the state of Maine. My favorite book to read to children is Antlers Forever by Maine author Frances Bloxam."
Congress' All-Time Favorite Books REP. GERALD E. CONNOLLY (Va.)
Green Eggs and Ham and The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
"Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham was always fun to read aloud with my daughter, and The Lorax has a great message for kids about protecting our natural environment."
Twas the Night Before Christmas by Henry Livingston
Every year, on Christmas Eve, Congressman Davis makes the rounds of homeless shelters and drug rehab homes in the district and reads Twas the Night Before Christmas before sharing some fruit and warm clothing for the children. His reading (actually it is one of many, many books, stories and poems he has memorized) is very dramatic and the children are always fascinated and totally absorbed with the story.
REP. BRAD ELLSWORTH (Ind.)
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
"One of my favorites is Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. I think I probably read it to my daughter, Andrea, about 40,000 times while she was growing up; it's still a favorite in our family."
Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss and Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
Rep. Engel read Hop on Pop often to his kids, and they read it back to him. It holds special memories for him. And he likes the way Charlotte's Web portrays the close relationships among friends.
SEN. MICHAEL B. ENZI (Wyo.)
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst and Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
"For young kids, I recommend Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. I enjoyed this children's book because everyone, even young kids, have bad days. I also recommend Hatchet by Gary Paulsen for its tremendous adventures that encourage ingenuity and survival."
REP. BILL FOSTER (Ill.)
A Fly Went By by Mike McClintock
"Because it is a gentle and humorous reminder about the dangers of getting caught up in a public stampede before getting all the facts."
REP. JIM GERLACH (Pa.)
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
"It was a great spy thriller inspired by the long-running TV series starring Robert Vaughn."
REP. SAM GRAVES (Mo.)
Look out for Pirates by Iris Vinton
"I loved reading about the exciting adventures of courageous Captain Jim and his men. Shipwrecks, treasure and castaways–this book had it all. It's a great plot with great pictures. I read it to my own children when they were younger and they loved it too."
REP. GENE GREEN (Texas)
House Mouse, Senate Mouse by Peter W. Barnes and Cheryl Shaw Barnes
"One of my favorite things to do is visit an elementary school in our district, read this book to one of the classes, and leave it for the school library. The book is always a hit with the children, and I enjoy how it sparks their interest in the way our government works and the importance of public service."
SEN. TOM HARKIN (Iowa)
Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
"The Little House on the Prairie series is clearly written and uses vivid imagery to extol the value of strong family bonds, enduring hardship, perseverance and generosity. It is a great adventure!"
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
"My oldest son, Carter, loves fantasy adventure stories so I started reading The Hobbit to him when he was four. To this day, he can quote parts of the story."
Duck for President by Doreen Cronin
"I always enjoy seeing how children respond to Duck for President, which tells the story of a duck who uses the power of democracy to create a better farm, state and country. This book inspires young children and shows them how we govern ourselves."
House Mouse, Senate Mouse by Peter W. Barnes and Cheryl Shaw Barnes
"I enjoy reading House Mouse, Senate Mouse to my grandchildren and to students in South Dakota. It's a fun way to teach children how our government works at an early age."
REP. RON KIND (Wis.)
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain "Huckleberry Finn mirrored my own childhood, growing
up in La Crosse, Wisconsin along the Mississippi River."
The Chip Hilton Series by Clair Bee
"This is a great series of books. Chip had a dream to be the best he could be in sports, and he pursued his dreams to succeed. The series describes the interactions between Chip and his coaches as they work to succeed on and off the field."
REP. RON KLEIN (Fla.)
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss "Because of its spirit and fun!"
REP. SANDER LEVIN (Mich.)
When We Were Very Young by A.A. Milne
"This is a wonderful children's poetry book whose captivating rhymes, timeless stories, and treasured characters remind us all of the joys of childhood."
REP. DAVE LOEBSACK (Iowa)
Oh, the Place You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss
"As someone who grew up in poverty, I know from first-hand experience that education can open many doors. My favorite book reminds children that opportunities can be limitless."
REP. ZOE LOFGREN (Calif.)
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White "It had everything–humor, bravery, and friendship."
REP. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER (Mo.)
Davy Crockett Book Series by Aileen Wells Parks
"My favorite books as a child involved Davy Crockett, because as a youngster growing up in Missouri, I was particularly drawn to tales about his wilderness adventures. I also was inspired when I read books that talked about Davy Crockett's service to our country, including his time as a Congressman and his bravery in defense of the Alamo. It inspired me to dream that if a rural kid from Tennessee could grow up to be a Congressman, so could I. And sure enough, here I am living that dream."
REP. JIM MARSHALL (Ga.)
The Tom Swift Series by Victor Appleton
"They were wholly inspirational and just a series of wonderful reads. I read them cover to cover time and again."
Hiawatha by Susan Jeffers
"The song of Hiawatha teaches the balance of natural life and provides the blueprint for harmony, peace and strength of character."
REP. DORIS MATSUI (Calif.)
Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne
"The adventures of Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have captured the hearts of children for generations. I fondly remember reading these timeless stories as a young girl, allowing my imagination to take me on a journey to meet Pooh and the other lovable characters he spends his days with."
The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles
"I have had the privilege to read The Story of Ruby Bridges to school classes in my district for Read Across America celebrations in past years. Ruby was a six-year- old African American child who was taken to school escorted by National Guard troops in New Orleans following desegregation. The book tells important lessons about racial equality and discrimination, as well as the importance of bravery."
REP. JIM MCDERMOTT (Wash.)
The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins by Dr. Seuss
"I've always loved The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins because it teaches children to stay positive in the face of adversity in a way that only Dr. Seuss could imagine."
REP. CANDICE MILLER (Mich.)
Nancy Drew Mystery Series by Carolyn Keene
"The effects books have on children's education are priceless because they take you into a higher level of learning and wonder about the possibilities the world around us offers. For me, it was the Nancy Drew mystery series which offered endless entertainment, as well as an example of how you can have a strong sense of self and independence to go after your goals."
REP. TIM MURPHY (Pa.)
The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton
"Growing up in a family of eleven children, our house was crowded on the inside. The 'little house' was crowded by an ever-expanding world on the outside. The little house was neglected until it is rescued by a loving family."
REP. LAURA RICHARDSON (Calif.)
Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman
"I liked the story because the bird was not afraid of an adventure, really wanted to be loved and eventually ended happy with finding his mother. I would read it at least once a week for years and as I got older I would tease my mother while shopping asking, still, Are You My Mother?"
SEN. JAMES E. RISCH (Idaho)
The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper
"This story celebrates the importance of determination and hard work."
REP. PHIL ROE (Tenn.)
Woodrow, The White House Mouse by Peter W. Barnes and Cheryl Shaw Barnes
This is his favorite because he enjoys traveling around the district reading this book to school children. It gives them a better understanding and awareness of the US government.
The Message in the Hollow Oak (Nancy Drew Mystery Series) by Carolyn Keene
Until just a couple of years ago, my Nancy Drew hard covers were still on the shelf in the farmhouse in South Dakota in which I grew up. I loved the suspense of those books and reading about a smart girl who could piece it all together.
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss "Because it is about a lovable and hilarious cat!"
REP. FRED UPTON (Mich.)
House Mouse, Senate Mouse by Peter W. Barnes and Cheryl Shaw Barnes
"As a father of two and a Member of Congress, I recognize the tremendously important role reading plays in childhood development. House Mouse, Senate Mouse is a pleasure for children and parents alike and an enjoyable way to introduce a child to the workings of the U.S. Congress."
REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN (Fla.)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
"I loved the fantasy of a giant and life-sized candy and chocolate world. More importantly, it taught me that we are not rewarded for selfishness: being spoiled gets you nowhere. Charlie was rewarded for selflessness. He just kept his nose down and always did the right thing. With those solid morals–and a little luck–he got more than he could have dreamed."
SEN. ROGER WICKER (Miss.)
The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper
"My daughter, Caroline, had difficulty learning to read and had to be tutored during the summer between first and second grade. One of her success stories was this book, which she cheerfully improvised by saying, 'I thought I could read, I thought I could read.'"
REP. DAVID WU (Ore.)
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
"I can still hear the voice of my third grade teacher, Mrs. Warren, saying, 'Salutations,' and slowly forming my own, personal picture of Wilbur and Charlotte talking and becoming friends in the barn."
REP. JOHN YARMUTH (Ky.)
Duck for President by Doreen Cronin
"This book explains the electoral process to kids in such a charming and clever way. Duck for President is full of great characters and great lessons, honoring the value of basic hard work that it takes to succeed in any field."

"2012" is yet another example of technological genius and story-telling mediocrity. Its careless, almost gleeful destruction of the entire world makes the brilliant CGI work jarring in a way the film-makers did not intend.
It has the usual disaster film elements: concerned scientists pick up disturbing information, staring at computer screens and using important-sounding jargon (something about neutrinos). Government bureaucrats are reluctant to believe its implications. People say, "That's impossible!" Some ancient culture predicted this all along. Some crackpot conspiracy theorist predicted it all along, too. The disaster brings out the best and the worst in people. Someone says, "I thought we'd have more time." The same dozen people keep running into each other. Iconic landmarks collapse. The entire world may be at risk, but we still have time for a little romance and some touching lessons about the importance of family. There are some sad deaths but a couple of convenient and satisfying ones as well. And when things really get bad, there's a soaring angelic choir on the soundtrack.
But a disaster film has to be about survival, and this one, from how-can-I-blow-up-the-world-today writer/director Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow") is too cavalier in tone, soft-pedaling the real implications of its apocalyptic storyline as though the world's literally breaking apart is justified in order to bring John Cusack back to his family. It is curiously antiseptic, with only a couple of dead bodies, and the deaths we witness almost like the coming of The Rapture. And, at two hours and forty minutes, it feels endless, as though by the time you get out of the theater, it will be 2012.
The CGI is impressive, especially when the ground buckles and heaves as a car speeds along a crumbling road, trying to stay ahead of the collapse. And you don't need a lot of story in a special effects movie. But you do need the right kind of story, and this one seems as off-kilter as the convulsing tectonic plates. The question is inevitably posed — how do we decide who will survive? But it is never engaged. There is a momentary mention of the possible problems of a sort of economic Darwinism, selling survival to the highest bidders. But the characters never deal with the consequences of that decision either way; it spends more time on the lesser issue of whether people deserve to know what is about to happen. No one is asking for a debate about philosophy or ethics; just enough narrative Spackle to keep the story going forward. Instead, it repeatedly derails. It's no more compelling than watching a kid knock down a tower of blocks. In a movie like this, with little time to do more than sketch out the characters, a lot of the story's validity depends on who lives and who dies. It is harder than it seems at first to put together exactly the right mix of satisfying (bad guys get what they deserve, think Richard Chamberlin in "The Towering Inferno" and Victor Garber in "Titanic") and sad but honorable (Bruce Willis in "Armageddon," Leonardo DiCaprio in "Titanic"). The mis-handling of the outcomes here contributes to its inability to engage the audience. And so does the howler-filled dialogue. In the middle of utter catastrophe a scientist stops to make cocktail party chit-chat with a desperate father about the last time they met. In the wake of utter devastation a couple engages in arch but completely leaden banter. (She does miss the opportunity of a lifetime, though, to say something like, "Not if you were the last man on earth.")
Chiwetel Ejiofor is brilliant as always as the concerned scientist with a heart, though we can't help wondering whether the stricken look in his eyes is as much about the disaster he is in as an actor as it is about what his character is witnessing. In a story where 21st century robber barons seem to carry the weight, it is perhaps appropriate that the movie itself resembles a hedge fund manager — too expensive, too arrogant, and, finally, dull.
Hayao Miyazaki has produced another trippy fantasia, this time a fish out of water story along the lines of "The Little Mermaid." A little girl goldfish with magical powers loves a little boy and turns herself into a human, by ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny-mode stopping at a few evolutionary species along the way and sometimes reverting back to chicken feet in times of stress.
The boy is Sosuke (Frankie Jonas) and he dubs the fish Ponyo (Noah Lindsey Cyrus). In a bit of stunt casting, both main character voice talents are the younger siblings of Disney mega-pop stars. Ponyo's father (voice of Liam Neeson), angry over the human's mistreatment of the oceans and concerned that her leaving may upset the balance of the world, wants her back in her original fishy form. A storm rises and creates enormous flooding. While Sosuke's mother Lisa (Tina Fey) is taking care of the wheelchair-bound elderly women at the nursing home (voices include Betty White and Cloris Leachman), Ponyo uses her magic to enlarge Sosuke's toy boat and they go out onto the water.
Stunning bursts of imagination and sensational, almost psychedelic images make the film a garden of unearthly delights. The undersea settings, including the flooded village, are filled with intricate detail and grand concepts, like waves that turn into enormous leaping fish. Ponyo uses her new feet to race across the tops of the waves in a moment of pure exhilaration. The images are visually rich and engrossing and the tenderness between the two children is affecting. But they are also at times disconcertingly grotesque and as in past films Miyazaki cannot make visual splendor compensate for moments in the storyline that are random and inconsistent.

Well the Merchants from the Hub told us a bunch of caravans disappeared on their way up north. I think there's an army in the mountains, but the Elders, well, they don't want to act until they're sure."— John Maxson
One came back from the east. He talked about a score of strange beings, all muscle with burnin' eyes."— John Maxson
Convince the Elders to send help is a side quest in Fallout.
Quick walkthroughEdit
|Side Quest: Convince Elders to send help
|Go to Mariposa Military Base.
|Hack into Morpheus' terminal. (optional)
|Go to the Lost Hills and speak to John Maxson.
|Convince elders to send the Paladins to Mariposa or the Cathedral.
|Reward: 1500 XP, 2 Paladins at the Cathedral
|1500 XP, 3 Paladins at Mariposa
Detailed walkthroughEdit
Go to Mariposa Military Base and exit. If the Vault Dweller wants help at Mariposa, skip to the Brotherhood.
If the Dweller wants help at the Cathedral, he must then go to the Cathedral, enter the hall and go upstairs to the fourth floor. Deal with Morpheus and hack his computer.
After this had been done, return to Lost Hills. Report to Maxson and convince the High Elders about the danger from the base.
If the Dweller was at the Cathedral and mentions the controls from it, they will send assistance at his discretion; either to the base or to the Cathedral. Otherwise the Dweller can only take help to Mariposa.
- 3 assisting Paladins at Mariposa Military Base or 2 at Cathedral.
- If Mariposa is destroyed, the Elders will thank the Vault Dweller and the quest will become unavailable.
- Having an Intelligence of one makes completing this quest impossible. Intelligence of two or three will require the use of Mentats.

Opera's Got A Brand-New Rag For One Night
Raphaela Papadakis seems to like 'playing with fire'. After her acclaimed performance as the put-upon maid, Anna, in Independent Opera's production of Šimon Voseček's Beidermann and the Arsonists at Sadler's Wells last year, she is currently rehearsing for the premiere this week of And London Burned, a new opera by Matt Rogers which has been commissioned by Temple Music Foundation to commemorate the 350th anniversary of The Great Fire of London.
By BARBARA HOFFMAN [NY Post, 6 March 2006]
SCOTT Joplin, the Ragtime King, wrote one opera - but, as far as success goes, it was no "Maple Leaf Rag."
Instead, "Treemonisha," a 1911 work about African-American slaves' emergence into the modern world, fell on deaf ears, which broke Joplin's heart and presumably hastened his death (in 1917).

The XTR model has cut checkering, a Monte Carlo style stock, and a glossy finish. This rifle features a fixed front sight with a folding leaf rear sight. Its wood is in good condition and its metal and bore are in very good condition.
