Angela Merkel has served formal notice that she will lead the German wandering away from the American alliance.
Seven years after the end of the Second World War, on the 10th of March 1952, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the newly established Federal Republic of Germany received an astounding note from the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union offered to withdraw the troops that then occupied eastern Germany and to end its rule over the occupied zone. Germany would be reunited under a constitution that allowed the country freedom to choose its own social system. Germany would even be allowed to rebuild its military, and all Germans except those convicted of war crimes would regain their political rights. In return, the Allied troops in western Germany would also be withdrawn—and reunited Germany would be forbidden to join the new NATO alliance.
She lived with us for 56 years. She raised me and my siblings without pay. I was 11, a typical American kid, before I realized who she was.
The ashes filled a black plastic box about the size of a toaster. It weighed three and a half pounds. I put it in a canvas tote bag and packed it in my suitcase this past July for the transpacific flight to Manila. From there I would travel by car to a rural village. When I arrived, I would hand over all that was left of the woman who had spent 56 years as a slave in my family's household.
A new study finds that people today who eat and exercise the same amount as people 20 years ago are still fatter.
There's a meme aimed at Millennial catharsis called "Old Economy Steve." It's a series of pictures of a late-70s teenager, who presumably is now a middle-aged man, that mocks some of the messages Millennials say they hear from older generations—and shows why they're deeply janky. Old Economy Steve graduates and gets a job right away. Old Economy Steve "worked his way through college" because tuition was $400. And so forth.
We can now add another one to that list: Old Economy Steve ate at McDonald's almost every day, and he still somehow had a 32-inch waist.
A study published recently in the journal Obesity Research & Clinical Practice found that it's harder for adults today to maintain the same weight as those 20 to 30 years ago did, even at the same levels of food intake and exercise.
In his new book, Ben Sasse has identified the right project for America: rehabilitating a shared moral language.
In just two short years, Senator Ben Sasse has gone from Capitol Hill newbie to digital president puncher, tweeting about Donald Trump's affairs and the Midwestern dumpster fires he found more appealing than 2016's Oval Office contenders.
Yet, on his breaks from Twitter, Sasse managed to craft a serious new book, The Vanishing American Adult. It advances a thesis that's at once out of place at this political moment and almost too on-the-nose for the Trump years: He believes Americans have lost their sense of personal integrity and discipline. For the country to deal with the troubles ahead—including automation, political disengagement, and the rise of nativist, huckster politicians, he says—people must recover their sense of virtue. The republic depends on it.
The condition has long been considered untreatable. Experts can spot it in a child as young as 3 or 4. But a new clinical approach offers hope.
This is a good day, Samantha tells me: 10 on a scale of 10. We're sitting in a conference room at the San Marcos Treatment Center, just south of Austin, Texas, a space that has witnessed countless difficult conversations between troubled children, their worried parents, and clinical therapists. But today promises unalloyed joy. Samantha's mother is visiting from Idaho, as she does every six weeks, which means lunch off campus and an excursion to Target. The girl needs supplies: new jeans, yoga pants, nail polish.

At 11, Samantha is just over 5 feet tall and has wavy black hair and a steady gaze. She flashes a smile when I ask about her favorite subject (history), and grimaces when I ask about her least favorite (math). She seems poised and cheerful, a normal preteen. But when we steer into uncomfortable territory—the events that led her to this juvenile-treatment facility nearly 2,000 miles from her family—Samantha hesitates and looks down at her hands. "I wanted the whole world to myself," she says. "So I made a whole entire book about how to hurt people."
As Republicans in Congress try to fend off the flurry of scandals, they are haunted by a question: Is this as good as it's going to get?
The speaker of the House strode to his lectern on a recent Thursday to confront another totally normal day on Capitol Hill: health care, tax reform, a president under investigation, rumblings of impeachment.
"Morning, everybody!" Paul Ryan chirped. "Busy week!"
It was indeed: Less than a day had passed since the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Russia's involvement in the presidential campaign; just a few hours since President Trump angrily tweeted that the investigation was "the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!"; and only minutes since the Russia-linked former national-security adviser, Michael Flynn, had begun defying congressional subpoenas. A few days prior, the president had been accused of revealing sensitive intelligence information to the Russian foreign minister.
Should you drink more coffee? Should you take melatonin? Can you train yourself to need less sleep? A physician's guide to sleep in a stressful age.
During residency, I worked hospital shifts that could last 36 hours, without sleep, often without breaks of more than a few minutes. Even writing this now, it sounds to me like I'm bragging or laying claim to some fortitude of character. I can't think of another type of self-injury that might be similarly lauded, except maybe binge drinking. Technically the shifts were 30 hours, the mandatory limit imposed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, but we stayed longer because people kept getting sick. Being a doctor is supposed to be about putting other people's needs before your own. Our job was to power through.
The shifts usually felt shorter than they were, because they were so hectic. There was always a new patient in the emergency room who needed to be admitted, or a staff member on the eighth floor (which was full of late-stage terminally ill people) who needed me to fill out a death certificate. Sleep deprivation manifested as bouts of anger and despair mixed in with some euphoria, along with other sensations I've not had before or since. I remember once sitting with the family of a patient in critical condition, discussing an advance directive—the terms defining what the patient would want done were his heart to stop, which seemed likely to happen at any minute. Would he want to have chest compressions, electrical shocks, a breathing tube? In the middle of this, I had to look straight down at the chart in my lap, because I was laughing. This was the least funny scenario possible. I was experiencing a physical reaction unrelated to anything I knew to be happening in my mind. There is a type of seizure, called a gelastic seizure, during which the seizing person appears to be laughing—but I don't think that was it. I think it was plain old delirium. It was mortifying, though no one seemed to notice.
In the next two months, Congress will have to raise the debt ceiling and pass a budget. GOP leaders don't know how they're going to do either of them.
There's nothing that united Republicans more tightly during the Obama years than their shared criticism of all the debt that racked up under the president's watch. They raised political hell every time Democrats needed to raise the debt ceiling, and in 2011 they brought the country to the brink of default by insisting on spending and reforms in exchange for their votes.
This year, however, it's all on them.
Trump administration officials told lawmakers this week that the Treasury Department would need authority to issue more debt earlier than expected this year, urging Congress to act before its traditional summer recess begins in August. Republican leaders initially believed they would have until the fall before the Treasury Department exhausted the "extraordinary measures" it undertakes to buy more time, but Trump's budget director, Mick Mulvaney, testified that tax receipts have come in slower that expected.
Facing reported financial problems and allegations of abuse, the once-bankable star now seems stuck in franchise hell with no obvious exit.
When Johnny Depp sailed onscreen in 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl as Captain Jack Sparrow (to this day, a memorable superhero entrance), it was his first-ever appearance in a summer blockbuster. He'd been in surprise wintertime hits (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow), well-regarded Oscar players (Donnie Brasco, Chocolat), and, of course, many a cult classic (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Ed Wood). But the idea of Depp headlining a big-budget, mainstream franchise film was alarming enough to Disney's then-studio head Michael Eisner that he protested, on seeing early footage, that Depp was "ruining the movie!"
Fourteen years later, Disney is serving up a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean, this time subtitled Dead Men Tell No Tales, budgeted at a cool $230 million. Since bursting into international superstardom with the first Pirates, Depp has become increasingly reliant on mega-budgeted action films and broad comedies. At the same time, his public profile has collapsed after his now ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of domestic violence during their divorce, and stories emerged of the mega-budgeted lifestyle that had somehow mired Depp in deep financial trouble despite his movie earnings.

Anderson Silva: Pro Boxer & Muay Thai Fighter
- Written by Dave Walsh
Here at LiverKick.com we may like to keep our focus on the world of kickboxing and Muay Thai, but there's no denying that this weekend's big fight takes place in MMA where Anderson Silva meets Vitor Belfort at UFC 126. And while some MMA fights may not hold much interest for kickboxing fans, this is a stand up battle that intrigues me. Silva and Belfort are two superb stand-up talents, and their championship showdown on Saturday should pique the interest of kickboxing fans everywhere.
In the past weeks, there have been mountains of analysis on this fight, but we wanted to take a look at it from a slightly different angle. Today and tomorrow, we'll take a look at how each man has fared in exclusively stand-up competition – Silva in Muay Thai and boxing matches, and Belfort in boxing.
Now, before we dive in, let me just say that the style of striking used in boxing or Muay Thai competition is going to need to be adjusted when making the transition to Mixed Martial Arts. There are so many things you have to concern yourself with in MMA that employing what would be perfect technique in a boxing match can lead to your quick defeat under MMA rules. When you use purely Muay Thai criteria to criticize a MMA fighter's striking ability, you often fail to recognize that these are similar, but different sports. So this is not intended as a way to comprehensively assess each man's MMA striking – many MMA pundits have handled that. Instead, this is an alternative way to look at one of the most kickboxing focused MMA championship fights we are likely to see this year.
Today, we kick things off with a look at the Muay Thai and professional boxing career of the dominant, brilliant UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Even if you are an MMA fan who knows little about full Muay Thai, it should come as no surprise that Silva has competed under these rules. He still uses a variety of Muay Thai techniques in his UFC career – the most notable being the Muay Thai clinch (or Plum Clinch as it is somewhat controversially known in MMA circles), which he used most effectively in his two destructions of Rich Franklin. He also has some nasty Muay Thai styled elbows in his arsenal, one of which he used to great success against Tony Fryklund:
Unfortunately, the world of Muay Thai competition is hard to fully document, so while Silva has definitely trained Muay Thai extensively, it's hard to know exactly how many professional fights he has competed in under these rules. Only one exists on the web, this fight against Tadeu Sammartino. No clue when this is from, but judging Silva's build I would guess somewhere around 2004-ish.
What strikes me in this fight is that although Silva is often cited as having a strong Muay Thai background, he fights here like a K-1 rules style kickboxer instead of a traditional Muay Thai fighter. He's very active on his feet, bouncing around and using a lot of side to side movement. This is a sharp contrast to the more Muay Thai style of planting your feet and checking strikes instead of evading (for a great analysis on this difference check out this discussion on Silva at My Muay Thai).
He also relies heavily on his hands, which are the lowest scoring strike in traditional Muay Thai. Silva does use kicks, but he doesn't always swivel his hips to throw them with full power, instead using them largely to get his opponent off balance in order to set up the punches. And like many of his MMA fights, it's the punches that do the real damage, including a quick punch he uses to land the first knockdown here that is very reminiscent of the Forrest Griffin KO.
Finally, while Silva is praised for his knees in the clinch, you see here that he primarily uses those knees when he has the clinch around the back of his opponent's head. On a few occasions, the two men have a body clinch, however we do not see the exchange of knees to the body so often used in Muay Thai. He has taken the aspects of Muay Thai that work for him, but is far from a traditional MT fighter.
With Silva's use of punches, and his very vocal appreciation for Roy Jones Jr., it's no shock he has tried his hand at professional boxing. The Spider is 1-1 as a pro boxer. His first fight was a loss way back in 1998, two years before his MMA debut. He faced Osmar Luiz Teixeira, 11-2 at the time. Silva was stopped in the 2nd; I don't believe footage of this fight exists. His more well known 2nd bout took place in 2005, less than a year before his UFC debut. Here, he faced Julio Cesar De Jesus, a Brazilian fighter who has never fought before or since.
Once again, we see Silva's very active footwork on display here. As in the previous bout, Silva is constantly on the move, coming in and out of range throughout the fight. For boxing, this is a common style, and Silva uses it well. What impresses me with his movement is his knowledge of when to move and when to plant his feet in order to land power shots.
One aspect of his game that this fight really points out is Silva's defense. In this fight, as in many others, Silva relies on a combination of speed and a tough chin as his primary defense. He doesn't use his hands much to block punches, and gets tagged with a few good shots here as a result – the most notable being in the first round after Silva decides to try a little showboating. He has a tough chin, so he wades right through those shots, but they do land. This could be a concern on Saturday, as Vitor Belfort is a fighter who only needs the smallest of openings to finish a fight – just ask Wanderlei Silva or Rich Franklin what happens when you let Vitor land one good punch.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for a look at the boxing career of Vitor Belfort.

My goal since buying a clapped-out CJ-6 in mid-December was to get it up and running in time for the Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari the first weekend in March. It sounded easy until I realized all the work that needed to be done. In addition to installing all the parts we showed you in the last issue (see "Project Tally" on Page 2), I also did a ton of other stuff there isn't room to mention. By the time I factored in a hectic magazine schedule (we do have more than one story an issue to write, after all), waiting on parts, going back East for the holidays, and changing poopy diapers, I found myself three days from leaving for TDS with no radiator and an unfinished rollcage. I planned on installing the radiator on Tuesday, finishing the rollcage on Wednesday, and heading out for TDS on Thursday.
After procuring a junkyard radiator and installing it on custom mounts, a buddy and I went for a testdrive late Tuesday afternoon. Aside from a major stumble right off idle, the Jeep pulled hard, the brakes worked good, and the gears sort of shifted, albeit with a lot of grinding. However, we noticed the temperature gauge quickly pegged past way-hot, so we headed home. A pull of the dipstick revealed an oil milk shake. Blown head gasket.
I was left with the decision of either finishing the cage and letting the Jeep sit in my garage for the weekend, or diving into the engine and finishing the cage another day. I'm a glutton for punishment, so Wednesday morning I went to Napa and ordered up a head gasket set (PN HS-1193-VC) for $56.60. Since the gaskets wouldn't arrive until Thursday afternoon, I went home and tore the top of the engine apart and got it ready for reassembly. The pistons in my 225 are 0.040-inch overbore units, indicating the engine had a rebuild not too long ago. Apparently the engine builder wasn't too familiar with the cylinder-head torque sequence of a Buick 225, as evidenced by the blown gasket.
The new gaskets showed up around noon on Thursday, and I had the engine buttoned back up for a quick testdrive just before it got dark. There were no major leaks, so I loaded it on the trailer and packed up my junk to leave first thing Friday morning.
Wheeling the Hatari! Jeep
There's nothing quite like wheeling a vehicle you're totally unsure about. The Project Hatari Jeep had been abandoned for years before I got my hands on it. Every second is an adventure, and every squeak and groan is a potential disaster. Summoning the gumption to ignore the urge to pull over and investigate each of these cries is half the fun. I knew the brakes worked, that there were no fuel leaks, and that there was a fire extinguisher right between the seats. After all, the word hatari is Swahili for "danger." Time to wheel.
The first thing I noticed was how smooth the ride was as we took off across the wash. Sad as it may sound, this Jeep has more uptravel than any vehicle I've taken to TDS yet, so bombing down washes and over whoops without slapping bumpstops was a ton of fun. Cappa said I looked like I was chasing down Rhinos. Perfect. The second thing I noticed was how poorly the CJ-6 climbed the huge Truckhaven hills the first night. It was an effort to get to the top, requiring a good running start and lots of engine rpm. After a little investigating we discovered that one of the hubs wasn't working right, so there was no front drive.
In the morning, we pulled the hub off and discovered I had merely installed it incorrectly. With the front wheels pulling, the CJ-6 was a totally different vehicle. The replacement 11-leaf front and 9-leaf rear springs from 4Wheel Drive Hardware are surprisingly supple. More surprising was how well the High-Tec Retread mud tires worked. The lugs are super-soft, and with the tires aired down to 8 psi, they grabbed like crazy.
The Jeep Legend Understood
While I've built up plenty of Jeeps for gnarly trails, this is the first older Jeep I've hit the dirt in that's relatively stock. Aside from the 31-inch tires and fenderwell headers, this Jeep is factory Kaiser-spec, with open diffs, 4.88 gears, a torquey 225, and good approach and departure angles. I was constantly amazed at the places the CJ would go. The suspension flexes a lot, but so does the body: so much so, in fact, that you can feel the seat frame contorting under your butt. All the chassis flex helps the tires stay on the ground, but by the end of the weekend I could see new cracks in the body tub forming. Along with the flex, the 101.5-inch wheelbase of the longer '6 makes hard obstacles easy. If you don't make it through something the first time, just back up and hit the obstacle with a little more momentum. I did high-center it once, though, requiring a tug from a tow strap to get the T-case crossmember off of a rock.
Finally, I'm convinced after driving it all weekend that the Buick 225 V-6 is the most perfect off-road engine ever created. Thanks to the 50-pound flywheel, I could lug the engine down to what seemed like 50 rpm. It got so low that you could hear the individual cylinders firing, but it wouldn't stall. There's enough torque that it won't lose momentum going up really steep stuff and enough horsepower to blast down washes and merge with freeway traffic.
The Gawk Factor
It's not every day you see a semi-stock-looking CJ-6 on the trail. It's even less often you see one with more patina than a cannon recovered from the bottom of the ocean and a seat mounted on the front bumper. Out of all the vehicles I've hit the trails with, this one is by far the crowd favorite. Besides the fact that it's low buck and it works, there are lots of little surprises when you look close. Lots of people thought the High-Tec Retread tires on BFG A/T carcasses were, in fact, BFG's new tread design. We set them straight, but it made for good comedy. Also, few could fathom how a rig that looks like a cat hairball could be outfitted with every piece of recovery gear you may need out in the trail, including a welder, spare parts, power tools, and a 10-pound Powertank.
Most of all, people dug the seat on the front. I built the mount with some trailer-hitch stock, and it comes off with the pull of the trailer-hitch pin. It has a working seatbelt and makes a killer perch for watching the action when parked. A few people actually got the reference to the movie, Hatari!, but most offered suggestions for its use, ranging from "government spotter's seat" to "mother-in-law seating." We joked about strapping Cappa on the front and running him down washes at 50 mph, but in reality it wouldn't be safe at all. The most we did was putt him around camp at 1 mph to take some photos, and even then we were afraid he'd wind up under the front tire.
What Now?
For now we're going to wheel the CJ-6 in its current state. It's just too much fun to mess up with a big engine and crazy running gear. Look for it to serve as the fodder for some early CJ Jeep tech in the coming issues. We'll be addressing the crappy Ross cam-and-lever steering, getting the engine running better, and probably even tackling some bodywork to make it a little more presentable. The T-14 tranny has no synchros left, so we'll probably do something about that as well. Stay tuned.
In the end, we accomplished what we set out to do: build a junk Jeep on a budget and have mad amounts of fun wheeling it. You can bet we'll pull a stunt like this again. I'm already talking Cappa into buying a flattie, and Trasborg is always mumbling something to himself about something. Who knows -- maybe there's a battle of the junk Jeeps brewing?
Here are our expenditures to date with all our Jeep wheelings and dealings. Call us cheaters, but we're not counting things we already had lying around, like the Premier Power Welder and Edelbrock front shocks.

UTSA Alumni Association announces awards
By Marcia Mattingly
UTSA Office of Alumni Programs
(Sept. 18, 2007)-- The UTSA Alumni Association will recognize its own rising stars at the eighth annual Alumni Rising Star Gala, Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Westin La Cantera Resort. James C. Mickey, '78, will be honored as the Alumnus of the Year and a Distinguished Service Award will be presented to Robert M. McKinley, '98, associate vice president of the UTSA Institute for Economic Development.

One of the first students to attend classes on the 1604 Campus, Mickey supported the first UTSA athletics teams and recalls his participation in the adoption of the roadrunner as the official UTSA mascot. "It was the roadrunner versus the armadillo," he said. Earning a B.B.A. in 1978, Mickey was immediately hired by Southwestern Bell (now AT&T), and then moved to Sprint in 1996, where he rose to national vice president by 2006.
As former president of Movida Communications, Mickey directed the operations of wireless communications services targeted to 40 million U.S. Hispanics. He and his wife Pat generously support student scholars through the UTSA Alumni Association's Gala and Diploma Dash, Women's Walk for Athletics, the College of Business and President Ricardo Romo's Campaign.
A life member of the association since 1998, Mickey served on the board of directors for six years and two years on the UTSA Athletics Advisory Board. For nine semesters, Mickey has officiated at the UTSA official ring ceremony where, in 2005, he presented a ring to his stepdaughter, Katie Fry, '05. Daughter Jenna is a senior at UTSA.
"I am proudest of helping create in 2004 a Sprint retail management training and college recruiting program, and the first six company hires from this program were UTSA graduates," said Mickey. "I have met many quality UTSA students through the years who know I am an alumnus and I am humbled by how they respect UTSA and my service. I just give my best every day and take the spirit of UTSA with me."
Since 1990, Robert McKinley has guided the steady growth of the UTSA Institute for Economic Development (IED) as its associate vice president.

FEARnet to Air All Five EXORCIST Films Consecutively, 2/17
Nothing says "I love you" like FEARnet this February, as it shows fans how much it cares by offering a horrific heart-shaped box full of premieres, prizes, and stunts kicked-off by the world television premiere of Lost Boys: The Thirst on Sunday, February 3 and "The Complete Exorcist" Marathon on Sunday, February 17.
For the first time ever, a TV network is consecutively airing all films, prequels and sequels associated with The Exorcist franchise. One of the most significant genre films ever made, the Academy Award-winning movie celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. In that time, it has spawned two sequels and two prequels, which FEARnet presents back-to-back starting at 2 p.m. ET/ 11 a.m. PT on February 17.
The original head-spinning classic The Exorcist stars Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil, a young girl possessed by the demon Pazuzu, and Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller as the priests who try to save her. Next, is Exorcist II: The Heretic at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT, picking up four years later, with Regan's (Blair) recent hypnotherapy sessions revealing that Pazuzu still lives within her.
Exorcist III follows at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, starring George C. Scott as Lieutenant Kinderman, investigating a series of murders similar to those of the Gemini Killer (Brad Dourif), who has been dead for 15 years. Then, it's Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT, Paul Schrader's vision of Father Merrin's (Stellan Skarsgard) days in Kenya, where an ancient Byzantine church causes an outbreak of madness in the camp, leading Merrin to his first encounter with Pazuzu. The evening closes with Exorcist: The Beginning at 12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT, Renny Harlin's version which places Father Merrin (Skarsgard) in the ruins of a subterranean Satanic temple, where he must save a woman possessed by Pazuzu.
For some, this Valentine's Day is not about marriage proposals or candy-filled hearts, and for those people, FEARnet is offering a six-film fright-fest with the "Luv Sucks" marathon on Thursday, February 7. It all starts at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT with Lost Boys: The Thirst, as Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) returns to hunt down a vampire DJ who uses worldwide raves to create an army of the undead. John Carpenter's Vampires is next at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, starring James Woods as a vampire hunter who must stop a bloodsucking horde from taking control of the Black Cross of Berziers, an ancient relic allowing them to walk in daylight. At 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, it's John Carpenter Presents Vampires: Los Muertos, with Jon Bon Jovi heading south of the border to battle a different group of vamps seeking the Black Cross of Berziers. Children of the Night follows at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, when a teacher and a priest are all that stands in the way of a small town falling victim to an evil vampire lord. Blood: The Last Vampire strikes at 12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT, as a 400-year-old human-vampire girl goes toe-to-toe with a demon on a Japanese military base. The Forsaken wraps things up at 2 a.m. ET/11 p.m. PT, placing "Roswell" stars Kerr Smith and Brendan Fehr in a desert showdown with a vampire master (Jonathan Schaech) and his undead gang.

Nicks is very good. Comparing he and Bryant may not last too much longer. Nicks is fielding what I think is close to his ceiling for potential, whereas Bryant is nowhere near it.
There are indications that Dez doesn't know the playbook. Bryant's football IQ and injuries may keep him from reaching full potential. He's good enough to get by on skill alone but he could be so much better.
Your really think Nicks is getting close to his ceiling!? Nicks had almost a 1000yd season his rookie year and thats missing games. It takes 3rd year W/O to get that achievement. He's starting his 3rd year and he's 7th in the league in yds. I don't think he's close to his potential yet.
Dez has the talent in the world but i don't think he'll ever maximize it. He's too boneheaded and a result he'll never reach his ceiling. Nicks will have a better career than Dez[/quote]
Nicks will have a better career than Dez also because he has an ELIte Quarterback whereas Dez has a choke artist as a QB lol...

Door Ajar Chime
From Grand Theft Wiki
The "Door Ajar" chime is a feature in Grand Theft Auto IV. The "Door Ajar" chime can be heard in some cars when the player leaves the vehicle with the door open or if the door gets taken off its hinges. As it is very hard to hear, the best way to hear it is to go to a quiet area (such as the Old Mansion off Beaverhead Avenue) and to turn the volume up.
Vehicles featuring the "door ajar" chime'

- Banshee

I suppose some people would be disappointed in the fact that Ken's fights were given to us informed but it works out slightly better this way. One the biggest problems with the previous war arc was the pointless focus of so many fights one after another. Let's just get to the relevant stuff.

Props to Kubo for deciding to briefly recap those 3 battles as oppose to devoting entire chapters towards covering them in full. Now that that's over, I hope Ken enjoys his second defeat at the hands of the big-bad. Because Shōnen basics 101 says he's not allowed to win this. Last but not least, I wonder if Kubo took the effort to come up with a bankai for Sasakibe or decided to have Yamamoto kill off Driscoll before he has a chance to use it.

Kenpachi coolly explaining how he killed these fodders was hilarious. "So yeah, that one kept blabbering about her powers so I ripped her throat out. The other turned into me so I had to become stronger than "myself". No big deal."
Such a badass.
I hope Yamamoto will kill that Quincy just as easily. I want to see Sasakibe's bankai first though.

i think its safe to re-post it here its a summary of what to expect on this long and last arc of Bleach
its a great read but for people who do not like even the slightest of spoiler then do not read
here are the links

So sexy it hurts
It makes sense that Kenpachi is really strong against these guys, since he does not rely on his bankai to win. I guess if you pitch Byakuya and Kenpachi up against one another in a fight, it would be an even one, but take away Byakuyas bankai and Kenpachi owns him. Furthermore, if you had given Kenpachi the ability to use Byakuya's bankai, I think Byakuya would have gone *splatt*
What I dont like however, is that these guys are so strong that some of my favorite characters become nearly useless, and thus we wont see them in good fights. Ive always been a fan of the vice-captains, because I think they have had some of the best fights in Bleach (Hisagi vs Findor for example). I wish the Sternritters also had something equal to vice captains called something else so that characters like Hisagi, Ikkaku and Matsumoto can get some time in the spotlight as well.

I'm sure we will see hisagi fight at some point again. he's a pretty popular character after all and I doubt this arc will end anytime soon. it's possible that he did achieve bankai and is just smarter than a bunch of idiot captains and doesn't want the enemy to steal it

"The first guy was annoying, so I kicked his ass.
The second girl wouldn't shut up, so I ripped out her throat.
The third imitated me, so I CURBSTOMPED HIM BECAUSE I AM THE STRONGEST."
Thank you Kenpachi, for being the badass that you are and making this otherwise jobber finale worth reading.
And as for Ichigo's contribution this week: "WRROOOOAAHH!! WARROOAAAHH!!"
Thank you Kubo, for being Kubo

Or maybe he simply thought it was best to leave it home, just in case they have the ability to steal shikai as well. Imagine what would happen if the Sternritters got a hold of Ryujinjakka
I must say though, it feels kinda wierd that out of all people in Soul Society, Yama-ji comes to the rescue of Hisagi, a vice-captain. Shouldn't be he off to take care of Captain Buckbeard?

Yeah, Kenpachi really showed his mettle this week. The nondescript destruction of three of the talking-Stern-to-ya-Ritters was quite impressive (couldn't help but love the dig at monologing villains). Otherwise, this was a fairly short chapter (in content), but still fun.

first of all, nice surprise to see Bleach back so quickly...really was thinking it was gone for a few more weeks--poor kubo =[.
Thank goodness they skipped over that Kenpachi vs three fight, but I must say, the explanation of their abilities were lame. When Kirge arrived, and that other guy that fought Ichigo at the beginning of the arc, they used Arrow/Spear weapons, things that are long distance and seem like they'd be in a Quincy Arsenal. Hell, Kirge brought out that technique to puppeteer your body from way back when, but now we hear that one can turn into an APE, COPY you and w/e the other girl could do? They're less Quincy and more just random ass people with abilities: like Chad and Orihime (not themed).
Part of my hope for this arc was seeing more badass Bow designs, but looks like that won't happen as expected

the ape one got me too... kenpachi might as well have said the quincy turned into a hippopotamus or a giant dung beetle or something slightly more crappier than an ape. at least it would have been funny and not stunk of kubo having no ideas what to do with the quincy powers. like you, I'd just prefer that most of them are badass archers or something like that. they dont need all these stupid mythical/transformation powers.
also the alphabet system is horrible. i know the espada were ranked by number, but come on... is it really necessary for the shitritters to have letter codenames? if there were other arcs after this (thankfully there won't be) would the bad guys be named after shapes or colors or something? or perhaps they would be a bunch of hollowfied frat brothers with greek letter codenames like zeta theta suckass
its just getting a bit silly for my tastes and its totally unnecessary in making the shitritters cool. i don't care if one is R and the other is T or whatever...

Terry Foundation adds scholarships to program
By Cindy Brockwell
Student Affairs Development Assistant
(Oct. 24, 2006)--The original game plan developed in October was to add eight Terry Scholars each year for four years, for a maximum of 32 Terry scholarship recipients at UTSA.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
But last month, the Terry Foundation announced they would select 16 new scholarship recipients next fall, rather than the anticipated nine as were selected this year. And if all goes well, they would like to select an additional 16 in fall 2008.
In April, Terry Foundation staff came from their Houston headquarters to interview freshmen applicants for the scholarships that pay for up to $20,000 per student per year in funding to cover tuition, fees, books, campus room and board, and miscellaneous expenses. The scholarships may be renewed annually up to four years. Leadership, academic excellence and financial need are criteria considered during the selection process.
Why the change in plans?
"We have found that our program is most successful at universities where the administration is supportive, and the students desiring to attend the university are not only intellectually capable, but are highly motivated to succeed in a college environment," explained Ed Cotham, Terry Foundation president. "It did not take us long to see that UTSA fits both of those criteria."
"President Romo is one of the most dynamic and energetic leaders in Texas," added Cotham. "We want to build a program at UTSA that will continue to grow and help more and more deserving students in the future."
UTSA President Ricardo Romo expressed heartfelt appreciation on hearing the news. "It was a tremendous honor for UTSA to be selected as a Terry Scholars campus last year. Now, to have them double the number of scholarships after the first year is a testament to the caliber of our students and their commitment to complete their education."

Techonology need not make you lazy. Susan Edmunds rates the iPhone apps that will have you working up a sweat.
Anyone with an iPhone knows there is an app for pretty much anything you could possibly need - and a lot of things you don't. There is a whole category of apps that promise to be your own personal trainer in your pocket. I put some of the free ones to the test.
Jillian Michaels: Slim-Down Solution
The trainer from The Biggest Loser seems to be everywhere, and now she's on your iPhone too. With tips, individual strength-training exercises and full circuit workouts, this is a good addition to your exercise regime. The tips are a bit obvious but serve as a reminder and motivator if you are flagging. The weights exercises are the high point of this app for me, especially the "calorie-burning combo lifting" category. They are more involved than just a standard bench press or bicep curl, so keep your interest - and they do target the muscle groups they say they are going to. The circuit workouts are good but most require a treadmill, and almost all the exercises use weights. If you don't feel like getting an overly perky and generally irrelevant email from Jillian every morning, give the option to sign up to "receive regular updates" a miss.
Daily burn
This is my pick of the bunch. It's really precise and definitely works, provided you have the determination to stick with it. It is a really detailed workout and food log that calculates how many calories you are consuming, versus how many you are burning off. When you start, it asks for your current weight, goal weight, date of birth, type of lifestyle (sedentary, active) and diet (low-carb, low-fat). That is what sets it apart from other workout/food diaries on the iPhone - it's really targeted to your individual regime. It also includes training plans to give you workout options, rather than just recording what you were already doing, as most of the other apps do. It has a good index of food preloaded so you just need to look up what you have eaten, rather than adding in all the nutritional information. The only drawback I can see with this app is that it can be tedious to record every slice of toast and minute of walking throughout the day.
iMap My Run
A reasonably straightforward app that is great for runners, iMap My Run tracks where you run, the distance and the time in which you do it. There's an option of voice feedback and after each run you can post your results on Facebook and Twitter, so you can compare how you are going with what your friends are doing. The main problem I found with this app was that it wasn't always completely reliable in tracking me. In most places in Auckland it was fine but when I tried to go for a run through Warkworth, it got lost.
Daily Ab Workout
An addition to your existing regime, rather than a new programme, this app guides you through an intensive ab workout. It works all your abdominal muscles with various types of crunches. Most of the 10 exercises were familiar to me, although a couple were new variations on the theme, and seemed to hit muscles that I hadn't felt being targeted before. You have the option to do each exercise for 30 seconds, 45 seconds or 60 seconds, and the app counts the time down for you.
The main drawback with this app is that there is only the one workout, and it could get boring pretty quickly. I definitely felt the burn, though, and struggled to get through it properly on my first time. There is more advertising on this app than I noticed on the others. I have been doing this alongside the Daily Butt Workout, to blast two problem areas.
YOGA Free
This is one of my favourite apps. Even the beginner workout, which comes programmed into the app, is really good - it guides you through lots of basic positions in a dynamic programme that stretches and loosens all the main muscle groups. I felt really energised after my first workout, which took me through asanas like the mountain pose, downwards and upwards dog and lots of lunging and core-strengthening. There are poses to suit everyone from the beginner to the "guru" and you can create your own programmes according to your specific needs. A voice guide explains every position but a written description is also really helpful. It includes a calendar to help you track your training.
* All apps available under the iPhone App Store's "healthcare and fitness category".

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
The apartment was very small and could use a renovation. The curtain in the bathroom was full of mold and the bath tub was leaking. To get warm water the boiler needs to be turned on, unfortunately this information was written down anywhere.
The bed is very hard and not comfortable.
The good thing about the small apartment is the location. It is close to many restaurants and the river Tiber.
Very clean and nice Room! Good descriptions how to get to the place and great Insider Tipps!
Also a very pleaseant and quick communication!
Super offer, great value for money, clean rooms, located in the best area-well connected with public transportation, still close enough to get to all main atttactions by foot. At the same time , the neighbourhood is very quiet for a calm night rest.
Apollonia is a great hostess, providing easy and clear instructions on how to get to the appartment, as well as useful info for wine and dine activities. We appreciated very much the opportunity to leave the bags in the appartment until evening, as we had a late flight, and thus were able to use the day.
Thank you Appolonia!
Appollonia was very helpful and nice with us, she provided us with all necessary to have a good time. The rooms is cozy and confortable. The building is very quiet and well communicated. just I missed having more towels.
+ detailed descirption to the accomodation
+ available fridge, espresso machine
+ close to tram and a lot of restaurants
- heating did not work; instead: air conditioning -> very loud!
It's a nice appartement, very neat and clean. Just a walk away from the centre of Rome. We only had some troubles concerning the communication with the owner before our arrival. That was kind of stressfull sometimes.
we were not impressed very much. No one there to help, room too small and noisy, big bathroom with clogged sink and cold water shower. the kitchen had an electric kettle and broken small microwave. Breakfast was only God know how old cereal, NO MILK, NO COFFEE. Far away from anywhere.
The apartment is very clean and the location is outstanding!
The airco and shower were fine.
Only 1 of the 2 rooms is equipped with a kitchen, which was difficult to extract from the subscribtion.
Overall a good place to stay in Rome, low budget and OK quality.
We had a great time! It's not very far from the centre nor the other touristic monuments like vatican city, the colloseum,... The neighbourhood Trastevere with restaurants and bars is only a 10minute walk. Pictures show a kitchen, but it's wasn't there, only a coffee machine, microwave and refrigerator. Clean room and bathroom.

Shulzemoos Germany
There is a fantastic camping store on the outskirts of Munich called The Gluck where Des and I had a shopping spree. Included in our purchases were a fold away push-bike and a mini scooter named Charly. I had been looking for a couple of bikes for us since we left home and we finally settled on these two.
We've had no end of difficulty finding gas refills. Every country has different bottles and different fittings and we've been unable to get a refill of another country's gas bottle. So far we've bought 3 different types of gas bottles. The one we've just purchased at Gluck won't fit into our camper, so we have to cut out a shelf and make some other adjustments to accommodate it in the camper
At the site of the Gluck store, a beautiful, jolly German woman made us a fresh lunch of salad and of course German sausage. This was not a take away in a sealed plastic pack. It was lovingly prepared, hand dressed and the sausages cooked in a fry pan on the stove while we had a drink. China plates and real cutlery accompanied the meal and a bright smile from de frauwlein.
We've just about run out of Ozzie souvenirs, (and we brought heaps), just as well Harmony has sent some on to Sue in Switzerland for us. It was funny when we arrived in the camp ground in Oberammergau Germany, a little boy of about 4 followed us into the campground on his tiny bike and watched us put the camper up. His older brother had been hovering, so I gave the little fellow a little koala and one for his brother. They both shot off and quickly brought back their baby sister, full of smiles in anticipation. All 3 wasted no time in making themselves at home inside the camper and later 'assisting' Des and Lou put the new mini scooter, Charly together. They were all very cute and after about an hour their dad came looking for them.
We chose to book into a campsite again because we couldn't wait to unpack and charge up the mini scooter. Lou and Des had a great night's entertainment putting the two vehicles together.
It was the site of all sites. We had Alps on either side of us and beautiful homes and buildings all around. Such a pretty setting we've never seen in a camping ground. It was also relatively new so all the amenities were of typical German quality. There was a bread order list which we wasted no time putting our name on for various Bavarian delicacies. Yum, the pastries!

Final preps before Asarco demolition explained
Asarco trustee: "This is a career moment"
EL PASO, Texas - The skyline of the city of El Paso is set to change forever. The Asarco smokestacks are set to come down in less than 48 hours.
According to Asarco site trustee Roberto Puga, the project demolition time is slated for 6:45 a.m. on Saturday, but the window remains open 15 minutes before and after that time.
On Thursday, Puga gave media a final look at the site.
Puga told ABC-7 that there is a lot of pressure to do things right.
"It's a career moment for me," said Puga. "It's one of those things if it goes right no one will remember, but if it goes wrong I don't know what will happen to me. So, this is a very trying time."
Despite his candid response, Puga assured everyone that every "t" has been crossed, every "i" dotted.
During his final walk-through with media on Thursday Puga showed off water cannons which are tasked with keeping dust from overwhelming the area. He called the system state of the art, noting that 26 cannons would mist the area with 3,000 gallons of water per minute.
While the word "mist" has been used, the technical plan calls for a "curtain of mist," Puga said the water won't be a small amount like you'd see tied to a home watering system.
"It is really there to saturate the air with water so that dust particles are attracted to the water and therefore it knocks the dust back down to the ground," said Puga.
Puga said the most important thing is getting the word out of what to expect on Saturday. He made it a point to remind the public that trespassers will be arrested and dealt with properly. Both El Paso police officers and private security guards will be on-hand to ensure the safety of everyone.
But the real pinch will be felt by travelers. Puga explained new shutdowns during his Thursday talk with media, he told ABC-7 that the window for road closures has expanded.
A section of Interstate 10 will be shut down prior to the blast.
I-10 will be closed off at 6 a.m. Paisano and Executive Drive will also be shutdown at that time.
After the stacks come down, Puga said an explosives expert will have to ensure that all 300 lbs. of dynamite has been detonated before anyone is allowed near the site. After that, crews will have to inspect I-10, Paisano and Executive Drive Blvd. for debris.
Puga said he expects I-10 and Executive Drive Blvd. to be re-opened around 8 a.m. Paisano Drive will not likely re-open until 10 a.m.
Puga said a lot of work has gone into making Saturday a success, now he's just waiting for Sunday morning. That's when he'll finally relax.
"I fully understand the magnitude of what we're doing," said Puga. "Only a fool would take hubris, refuge or complacency right now. We've done everything possible to make this the safest even possible."
Debris from the Asarco smokestack will remain onsite permanently. It will be put into the ground before it's sealed. However, the debris will remain above the ground while crews remove metal from inside the concrete. That metal will be scrapped and sold for profit.
Puga said the debris posed no threat to the environment citing multiple tests done on the smokestacks ahead of this weekend's demolition.

Placebo Effect in Depression Treatment »
"A placebo is a substance, such as a pill or shot, that doesn't contain any active medicine. Scientists typically use placebos as controls in research studies. This helps them understand how much of a medicine's effects are due to the drug itself,"...
Human Overdose Experience
Overdoses of up to 30 grams or more of bupropion have been reported. Seizure was reported in approximately one third of all cases. Other serious reactions reported with overdoses of bupropion alone included hallucinations, loss of consciousness, sinus tachycardia, and ECG changes such as conduction disturbances or arrhythmias. Fever, muscle rigidity, rhabdomyolysis, hypotension, stupor, coma, and respiratory failure have been reported mainly when bupropion was part of multiple drug overdoses.
Although most patients recovered without sequelae, deaths associated with overdoses of bupropion alone have been reported in patients ingesting large doses of the drug. Multiple uncontrolled seizures, bradycardia, cardiac failure, and cardiac arrest prior to death were reported in these patients.
Overdosage Management
Consult a Certified Poison Control Center for up-to-date guidance and advice. Telephone numbers for certified poison control centers are listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR). Call 1-800-222-1222 or refer to www.poison.org.
There are no known antidotes for bupropion. In case of an overdose, provide supportive care, including close medical supervision and monitoring. Consider the possibility of multiple drug overdose.
- APLENZIN is contraindicated in patients with a seizure disorder.
- APLENZIN is contraindicated in patients with a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa as a higher incidence of seizures was observed in such patients treated with APLENZIN [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- APLENZIN is contraindicated in patients undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and antiepileptic drugs [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and DRUG INTERACTIONS].
- The use of MAOIs (intended to treat psychiatric disorders) concomitantly with APLENZIN or within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with APLENZIN is contraindicated. There is an increased risk of hypertensive reactions when APLENZIN is used concomitantly with MAOIs. The use of APLENZIN within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with an MAOI is also contraindicated. Starting APLENZIN in a patient treated with reversible MAOIs such as linezolid or intravenous methylene blue is contraindicated [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and DRUG INTERACTIONS].
- APLENZIN is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to bupropion or other ingredients of APLENZIN. Anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome have been reported [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Great News for Taxpayers; Senator Lazich's Weekly Insight
Great News for Taxpayers
The Legislative Fiscal Bureau calculates Governor Scott Walker's tax proposals provide the average taxpayer $177 income and property tax relief. The Tax Savings Calculator at prosperity.wi.gov allows you to calculate the amount of money you may expect. You may also view Governor Walker's Blueprint for Prosperity at the link.
I am anxious for the legislature to approve Governor Walker's proposals and return money to your pocket. The nearly $2 billion tax relief this biennium will directly stimulate economic activity across the state. Our economy is showing consistent growth as the Governor continues to work with the legislature to relieve residents from Wisconsin's heavy tax burden.
Southeast Wisconsin Home to Wisconsin's Manufacturing Industry
Wisconsin's manufacturing industry continues to show growth. The State gained over 3,000 manufacturing jobs during July 2012 to July 2013, according to the 2014 Wisconsin Manufacturers Register.
There are over 500,000 Wisconsinites employed in Wisconsin's manufacturing industry, with over 300,000 of these jobs located in Southeast Wisconsin.
The Legislature will be voting on a proposal to invest $35 million in the Wisconsin Fast Forward Program. The investment will provide support for dual enrollment programs between school districts and technical colleges, reduce technical college wait lists, increase funding for manufacturing, agricultural, and IT at technical colleges.
Wisconsin will continue a competitive edge on neighboring states by investing in employment skills and growing the size of our educated workforce.
Propane Shortage Update
Governor Walker and his administration are swiftly responding to Wisconsin's propane shortage. Earlier this week Governor Walker released additional funds to keep low-income families homes heated, and created a loan program for propane suppliers.
Governor Walker discussed the issue with President Obama Thursday. Governor Walker sent a letter to Texas Governor Rick Perry thanking him for assisting with propane supply.
The Department of Administration recommends:
- Contact your propane vendor when your tank reaches 30 percent full.
- Consider applying for heating assistance at 1-866-HEATWIS (432-8947) or visit http://www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov/
- Visit EnergyIndependence.wi.gov for updates.
The Department of Revenue (DOR) Releases Revised Withholding Tax Tables.
The revised tables are effective for payroll periods beginning on or after April 1, 2014.

11 tips for travelling in Greece
Although the news has been full of negative stories about the financial and immigrant crises which have engulfed Greece in recent years, there are still many r…02 May 2017 • Nick Edwards insert_drive_file Article
Central Attica has been blighted by the new airport and its associated motorways, and though there are still villages with Byzantine churches and countryside where wine is made, there's little incentive, when heading east, to stop anywhere before you reach the coast. This is popular with weekending Athenians and the site of many of their second homes. Almost due east of Athens lies the port of Rafína, and to the north of here are Marathon and the isolated site of ancient Ramnous, as well as some relatively uncrowded beaches. South of Rafína the coast is less attractive, with continuous development all the way down through Loútsa (aka Artemis) towards Pórto Ráfti; it is also directly beneath the airport flight path.
The port of RAFÍNA has fast ferries and catamarans to the Cyclades, as well as to nearby Évvia. Many Athenians have summer homes overlooking the attractive, rocky coast, but the beaches are tricky to reach even with a car, so for visitors the chief attraction, ferries aside, is gastronomic. Overlooking the harbour is a line of excellent seafood restaurants, many with roof terraces and a ringside view of the comings and goings at the harbour. They're interspersed with cafés and fishmongers. The pedestrianized square above the harbour is also a lively place, ringed with cafés and rather cheaper eating options. A lunchtime outing is an easy operation, given the frequency of the bus service. Evenings, when it's livelier, you'll need to get a taxi back, or stay.
The site of the battle of Marathon, the most famous and arguably most important military victory in Athenian history, is not far from the village of MARATHÓNAS, 42km from Athens. Here, in 490 BC, a force of 9000 Athenians and 1000 of their Plataian allies defeated a 25,000-strong Persian army. After the victory a runner was sent to Athens to declare the news: having run the first marathon, he delivered his message and dropped dead. Just 192 Athenians died in the battle (compared to some 6,000 Persians), and the burial mound where they were laid, the Týmfos Marathóna (Tues–Sun 8.30am–3pm; €3), can still be seen, off the main road between Rafína and Marathónas. It is a quietly impressive monument, though surrounded now by one-way roads installed for the Olympic marathon race. The Mound of the Plataians (Tues–Sun 8.30am–3pm; €3), where the eleven Plataians (including a 10-year-old boy) who died were laid to rest, is about 5km away, near the edge of the mountain; there's also a small, modern archeological museum here.
ÁYIOS PANDELÍMONAS, also known as Paralía Marathónas, lies straight on past the Týmfos Marathóna. The beach isn't the greatest – though there's plenty of room to spread out – but a string of waterfront fish tavernas and an open-air movie theatre ensure plenty of local visitors in summer.
The best beach in the region – some would say the best in the Athens area – lies north of Marathon at SKHINIÁS, a long, pine-backed strand with shallow water, big enough to allow some chance of escaping the crowds. Buses run along the road behind the beach, where there are a number of stops. At the southern end there's a certain amount of development and several cordoned-off pay-beach sections offering cafés, showers, loungers and watersports; perhaps the best of these is Karavi (karavi.gr), with free entry, a decent bar and restaurant, volleyball courts, and windsurf hire and lessons. The central section of Skhiniás beach, beyond the Olympic rowing and kayaking centre, is the least developed, with numerous tracks leading through the pines from the road to the sand. At the northern end there's more low-key development, mainly in the form of cafés and scattered tavernas on the sand.
The little-visited ruins of Ramnous occupy an isolated, atmospheric site above the sea, with magnificent views across the strait to Évvia. The site was an Athenian lookout point from the earliest times, and remains can be clearly seen continuing way below the fenced site, all the way down to the rocky shore. Within the site, the principal ruin is a Doric Temple of Nemesis, goddess of divine retribution. Pausanias records that the invading Persians incurred her wrath by their presumption in bringing with them a giant marble block upon which they intended to commemorate their victory. They met their nemesis, however, at the battle of Marathon, and the Athenians used the marble to create a statue instead. There are also the remains of a smaller temple dedicated to Themis, goddess of justice, and a section of ancient road.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The new BET comedy series Second Generation Wayans prompts the question: Have there really been only two generations of the professionally funny family that gave us In Living Color, the "Scary Movie" franchise and White Chicks?
"I'm pretty sure there were some really entertaining Wayans before us," says Marlon Wayans. "You know, some hilarious slave Wayans. They could've been in [Quentin] Tarantino's movie [ Django Unchained]. Pickin' cotton, and tellin' jokes. That's us."
At 40, Marlon is part of the same generation of Wayans that produced Damon, Keenan Ivory, Kim and Shawn. He has "always been the most talented" of the clan, says George Thomas, film critic for the Cleveland Examiner -- capable of low comedy, but also of stealing films from the likes of Tom Hanks ( The Ladykillers).
Wayans' latest function in the funny family enterprise opened Friday. It's A Haunted House, an attempt to move on from the "Scary Movie" franchise that he helped launch but which the family is no longer a part of. With the "Scary Movie" installments -- begun as a response to the "Scream" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchises -- growing more watered down, Wayans saw an opening for another parody.
"There's a fine line between that moment when you're a fan of the movie, the first movie in a series maybe, or you're a fan of a genre -- and the first films in it are the good ones -- and then the bad ones start coming along and you hate them," Wayans says. "When I see common denominators, common situations, common characters -- a genre of films or a series of films becomes all the same movie -- that's when I go 'That sucks. But it's funny that it sucks.'"
That's where he figures the "found footage" genre of horror is -- Paranormal Activity and its many imitations.
"By the time the recent 'Paranormal Activities' and the rip-offs came along, I said, 'Wow. White people do some dumb stuff in these freaking movies. You know what would be funny? If Paranormal Activity happened to a black couple. Who would they call? What would go wrong with them?'"
He couldn't do much with the original found-footage horror film -- The Blair Witch Project -- because "Black people don't camp. We came from Africa. We know what's in the woods."
But what if, say, a black couple had "thug cousins" they could call in a crisis? "That's what I would do. And that's funny, to me. There are things even a thug is afraid of."
Next up for Wayans is a role in the comedy The Heat, with Sandra Bullock. He plays her character's love interest.
"We don't have any love scenes. Or any chemistry, really. But I'm pretty sure that in my mind, they do the nasty. A man's got to have hope."

|Data Source:
|U.S. Census Bureau
The Decennial Census occurs every 10 years, in years ending in zero, to count the population and housing units for the entire United States. Its primary purpose is to provide the population counts that determine how seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned.
The Short Form - 100-percent characteristics: A limited number of questions were asked of every person and housing unit in the United States.
The Long Form - sample characteristics: Additional questions were asked of a sample of persons and housing units (generally 1 in 6 households).[read more]

- Vacancy characteristics
The Long Form - Sample characteristics: Additional questions were asked of a sample of persons and housing units (generally 1 in 6 households). Data are provided on:
- Ancestry

The official U.S. Census is described in Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States. It calls for an actual enumeration of the people every ten years, to be used for apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives among the states. The first official Census was conducted in 1790 under Thomas Jefferson, who was the Secretary of State. That census, taken by U.S. marshals on horseback, counted 3.9 million inhabitants. Since that time, the decennial Census has been conducted every ten years, generally on April 1 in years ending in a zero.
Besides providing the basis for congressional redistricting, Census data are used in many other ways. Since 1975, the Census Bureau has had responsibility to produce small-area population data needed to redraw state legislative and congressional districts. Other important uses of Census data include the distribution of funds for government programs such as Medicaid; planning the right locations for schools, roads, and other public facilities; helping real estate agents and potential residents learn about a neighborhood; and identifying trends over time that can help predict future needs.

Central European Drawings from the National Gallery of Canada
11 Jun 2010 - 29 Aug 2010
An intriguing exhibition of rarely-seen prints and drawings, including over 30 new acquisitions, taken largely from the National Gallery of Canada's (NGC) own collections is on view from now until September 12, 2010. Central European Drawings from the National Gallery of Canada features magnificent master works by Dürer, Klimt, Kirchner, Nolde, Dix, and Grosz. The exhibition surveys the period from the early sixteenth century to the end of the Second World War and reflects the historical and geographical diversity of Central Europe. Due to their fragility these works are seldom displayed.

We have Diane Swinestein all wrong! She does NOT want to ban assault weapons. That is not her aim at all!
Her only aim is to disarm us peasants. She does not think that peons need protection. Inasmuch as members of the government royalty like herself consider common citizens to be livestock, she does not want us to have any guns at all! Her long term goals is NO GUNS FOR THE SLAVES! We citizens are her servants. She is one of the masters. And, she wants to be well protected from vermin" like us. She wants to keep assault weapons around for people like herself and other elitist government members. She always has a squad of well trained and well armed killers-who carry assault weapons-around her to protect herself from low lifes like us. She considers civilians to be trash. She is better than we are. She is far superior to us. And, if you dont believe, just ask her!
