Bulldogs back to top of the ladder
Page Tools
The Bulldogs threw down the gauntlet to the Sydney Roosters last night as rampaging prop Mark O'Meley led the NRL club back to the top of the ladder with an inspiring two-try performance against Newcastle.
O'Meley produced one of the most devastating opening spells by a front rower this season, crossing twice in the game's opening 13 minutes as the Bulldogs swamped the undermanned Knights 52-6 at Telstra Stadium.
The victory lifted the Bulldogs back above the Sydney Roosters, although Ricky Stuart's side can regain pole position with a win over the New Zealand Warriors on Sunday.
The 23-year-old O'Meley, who helped lead NSW to State of Origin success earlier this year, already had one foot on the plane to England for Australia's end-of-season tour of England - now he can start packing his bags.
''He's had his ups and downs,'' coach Steve Folkes said.
''He missed a few (games) early with injuries. He was away with State of Origin.
''His form probably the last month has come back to what it was pre-Origin. That sort of form got him in Origin in the first place.''
The Bulldogs were all business.
By the time O'Meley had charged over for his second try in the 13th minute, bumping off an out-sized Robbie O'Davis, the Bulldogs had a 14-0 lead.
''I bombed a double against Canberra,'' O'Meley said.
''The boys didn't let me forget about it so I got it back.''
The Bulldogs extended their lead to 34-0 by halftime and brought up the half-century in the 80th minute when blockbusting winger Matt Utai bumped off three Newcastle defenders.
''I thought our forwards were terrific,'' Folkes said.
''Pricey (Steve Price), Mark O'Meley, Roy Asotasi.
''We really put a dent in them every time we went to the line, which was great. That was the go-forward we lacked last week.''
Newcastle coach Michael Hagan, whose side is now out of finals contention, certainly left Telstra Stadium a believer in the Bulldogs' premiership hopes.
''Mark O'Meley was just outstanding for them, Steve Price has been good all year and Willie Mason comes off the bench,'' Hagan said.
''They're going terrific and they're playing great football.
''They're fit and strong and going to be one of the real teams to consider at the end of the year.
''They're in a great position to win the competition, because that's what you have to have, all of your players coming back or playing their best footy.''
How Hagan must wish he could say the same thing about his side.
The Knights were without more than a dozen regular first graders tonight and lost Adam Woolnough (neck) and Daniel Abraham (ankle) prior to kick-off.
The attrition rate has taken its toll.
Newcastle captain Danny Buderus and Hagan wore the look of tired men at last night's press conference.
''I'm pretty frustrated at the moment. It's just par for the course now,'' Newcastle captain Danny Buderus said.
''We lose two or three blokes every week. I have never experienced that in first grade at the Knights. It's just amazing.''
The Bulldogs also had to deal with late withdrawals in the form of Sonny Bill Williams (shoulder) and Corey Hughes (knee cap).
But they didn't miss a beat.
Halves Braith Anasta and Brent Sherwin were again outstanding while Utai continued his devastating month of football.

William Levy and Elizabeth Gutierrez are officially back together!
Sorry ladies! It looks like Cuban heartthrob William Levy and his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Elizabeth Gutierrez, are back on...at least, according to the completely mushy love fest they were having on Twitter this week!
Want more Latin pop culture news? Like us on Facebook!
The couple, who has two kids together, first met in 2003 and reportedly broke up last year. But even after their split, Gutierrez consistently showed up in the audience of Dancing with the Stars when Levy was competing last season, fueling rumors that they might actually be back together. And I guess everybody was right, because yesterday, the two were swapping affectionate tweets for all their followers to see! Levy wrote:
Can somebody tell @Elygutierrez19 that tomorrow someone is taking her flowers
Q lindo q sepan quererte y a la ves ser fan de lo q haces y eres. @Elygutierrez19 soy tu fan obsesionado #1
And Gutierrez responded:
Girls can u please do me a favor??? can u tell @willylevy29 that somebody loves him…;) good night everyone…..
Everyday I realize mas y mas why I fell in ❤with u! Girls he is 1 of a kind his not only gud looking he's an amazing person w/ the biggest❤.
After receiving Levy's flowers, Gutierrez also shared a picture of the bouquet and tagged Levy in a tweet that read "Thank you 4 making my days so beautiful."
Wow, so much love! I guess (some) absence really does make the heart grow fonder. And although I'm sure every woman in the world is disappointed right now, I'm personally happy for them and their kids. They are a lovely family!
What do you think of their reunion? Tell us in the comments!

From Our Amigos
I hope they do get back together for the sake of their little kids!
The best tweets are love tweets, and they are the best love bird tweets on twitter.
@Vegas, he obviously doesn't mind that she is staking her claim. I sense he likes it very much indeed. In fact I get the feeling that he's very much a one woman man, even though the media would want to tell a different story. So if they're doing a little showboating of affection, I say so what? It's nice to see them back in the honeymoon stage. It doesn't harm anyone, and it obviously helps their relationship.

Testing FuelMaster 21 Module? Heat Pump no Run.
I have a Lenox natural gas furnace with a heat pump system. My old lenox thermostat was mercury based and not very precise. I wanted to upgrade my thermostat so bought a digital one for heat pumps. After hooking it up, my heat pump would not run, so I put my lennox thermo back and it still will not run. Only the nat. gas furnace runs.
When I tilt the thermo so the only the first mercury switch (for the heat pump) is tripped, the nat gas furnace automatically engages. I checked the voltages. At thermo, there was power to R (power), Y1 (1st stage heat), and W1 (2nd Stage heat), no power at O (reversing valve) or E (emergency heat). The same voltages were found on the input side of the FM21 module. But there was no voltage found on the Heatpump/output side of the FM21. Only voltage going to furnace.
So I pulled the W1 wire from the FM21 to see if the thermostat or thermostat wire had a short. I moved thermostat to engage only the 1st stage heating. Checked voltage at Thermostat and power only at R, and Y1. Voltage at input side of FM21 was still R, Y1, and W1.
I flipped the emergency heat switch and it appeared to operate correctly.
So it appears something in the FM21 is causing or forcing the secondary heat routine to run no matter what. What can I check now? I couldn't find any fuses that might have blown. It's been in the 50s around here, so I'm fairly confident the heat pump should be running. I hope someone can offer some good troubleshooting advice for me. Thanks in advance.
Any luck? Why the dual fuel system? I think you might've landed one of your wires on a wrong terminal.
No. No luck. Everything is hooked up correctly. But for some reason, when the FM21 board receives a signal for the 1st stage heat (heat pump) it automatically engages the 2nd stage heat?
Heat pumps are supposed(??) to be more efficient. But I seriously doubt my cheapo heat pump really saves me energy. It just saves my Nat. gas bill by using more electricity.
Hmm? Switch the lead where whatever you want to come on first will...?

Christine Quinn: Parking Ticket Fix Good For Constituent Relations
(Kate Hinds, Transportation Nation) NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn was on the Brian Lehrer Show this morning to talk about her State of the City speech. And as parking tickets were one of the big ticket items in that speech, Brian asked --quoting Andrea Bernstein's Transportation Nation article--the following question:
Brian Lehrer: More than 90% of people who work in Manhattan take mass transit, not their own cars. So why the attention to the problem of parking tickets issued to drivers while they're putting money in the meters?
Christine Quinn: Well, for a couple of reasons. We've been very aggressive on mass transit issues in the Council from our big campaign last year to successfully save student MetroCards to supporting congestion pricing for extra funding for the MTA and an array of other issues. But we in the Council want to be responsive to the issues that New Yorkers call us about.
And certainly mass transit is one of those, and we've done that. But we track every call and complaint and issue we get in the Council through our CouncilStat program. And tickets -- very very high on the list. We want to respond to what New Yorkers are asking us to help them with, and unfair ticketing and parking challenges -- because even if you take mass transit to work in Manhattan, if you live somewhere else and you have a car, you have to figure out what do to with it before you go to work. So this was an attempt to be responsive. And also particularly as it relates to the ticket issues with Muni-Meters, to try to eliminate one of those things that seems small -- but you get a ticket, you parked your car, you walked to the Muni-Meter, in those 30 seconds or 60 seconds you're going to the Muni-Meter, technically you haven't paid yet. But you have no other choice. You can't like ESP your money to the Muni-Meter, there has to be some period of time. You get a ticket - it's enraging. And it's enraging because it just feels like government is trying to get you, not help you. I think getting a change in that is also just good for the city's relationship with its constituents.
You can listen to the full interview (audio to be uploaded later today) and participate in a discussion about this issue here.

Date of Stay: March, 2010
I would definitely recommend this park. The staff is courteous and friendly. The laundry and showers are the best I have seen. The sites are large with grass and plenty of parking. They have a nice play area for children as well as put-put golf in the summer.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
We stayed here several months while working in the area. We had several things stolen from our site. The laundry and shower facilities were deplorable. We were very close to the office and still had no Wi-Fi signal. Management in this park is the worst I have ever seen. They were very rude when called upon and share their guests personal business with other guests. If you pay monthly and move out before your due date they refuse to credit your unused days as agreed on. Our recommendation is to avoid this park at any cost.

Hawaii Pacific Review: HPR 2011 Book Reviews
The Broken Bone Tongue by Dianna MacKinnon HenningBlack Buzzard Press, 2009 ISBN: 978-0-938872-42-9 Reviewed by Anasin Beth Conner
Dianna Henning's collection of poetry, The Broken Bone Tongue, journeys to the marrow of human emotion and experience, contemplating grief and loss, personal discovery, love and family, and the beauty and mystery of the natural world. Henning's poignant imagery breathes life into her writing, while her honesty exposes the bare bones of the wisdom hidden within. She beckons us to step into a world that is as intimidating as it is awe-inspiring, as fragile as it is resilient. Henning's world, as depicted in her poetry, is both melancholic and nostalgic, reminding us that the human condition is one of duality, touched by sorrow and hope.
Henning starts this collection with an excerpt from Mary Oliver's poem "In Blackwater Woods" that reflects the dual essence of our mission here on earth. "To live in this world / [we are] to love what is mortal / to hold it /. . .and, when the time comes to let it go." Henning's title poem follows, beginning with an awareness of duality in writing: "There were things she could say/and things she couldn't say . . ." Although the language that begins the poem vacillates, leaving the reader to grapple with their own contradictions, the poem's conclusion is profoundly decisive. When the writer attempts to retrieve the "things she couldn't say," she discovers that "only bones survived, their marrow dry." This first section on bones and tongues concludes with "For the God of All Bones," a poem reflective of Henning's gift for transformation. What begins as a dog chasing a cat in the pre-dawn hours of morning becomes a boy chasing down his busted toy helicopter. Henning's true magic is her skill of drawing the profound from the simple, transforming an innocent, childhood moment into memorable, unexpected insight. The reader becomes the boy, "breath backed up / because you never realized / how going after one thing / brought about something completely different." One delves into Henning's poetry expectant of a particular tone or message, only to discover that it evolves into something completely new and unforeseen, and all the more spectacular. As caterpillars metamorphose into butterflies, Henning's poems take flight in their transformations. In "Fleshing the Tongue" the reader is told that by reading a poet's work out loud, he becomes the poet. Thus, the poem dares the reader not only to witness the metamorphosis, but also to participate in it.
In the section that follows, Henning explores the spiritual connection between human beings and animals. "Animal Mission" speaks of a tragic change from a time of harmony and accord between humankind, nature, and animals to our current state where our own superiority compels us to forget the sacredness of this bond:This division split our spirits, and the animals cried for their people. A fracture grew among nations. At night the animals pined for us to enter their lives, but we'd forgotten the wholeness of the world, and for this the animals continue to weep.
By the poem's end, the reader is left grieving for the union human beings once had with Mother Nature and her children. The sacrifice mankind made when they segregated themselves from the world believing they were superior, cannot be denied.
This sense of oneness with the world extends not only to animals and other human beings, but also to all of nature, including potatoes, "whose richness even earthworms recognize." In "Forking for Potatoes" Henning asks, "Do you cherish potatoes for their sweet white meat, or the way they extend themselves with magic wands?" Henning encourages the reader to pay attention to the depth of life, to recognize that not one element of nature is dispensable. In "The Holiness of Potatoes" Henning confesses:There have been potatoes I've sometimes favored more than people. Because of their faithful journey in the dark, their absolute adherence to mystery.
Potatoes perceive the depth of life. Unlike human beings who measure and calculate every step, potatoes need no confirmation or direction for growth. They fare better in the dark.
Other inanimate objects come alive through their interactions with people and the world. They often possess animistic qualities. In "The Adirondack Chairs Are a Couple Facing East," two chairs live, breathe, and love through the wear and tear of weather and age. This suggests that marriage is born of love and wonder, two sentiments sustained and reinforced when a couple commits to surviving both happiness and hardship together, sharing their feelings as if they were two Adirondack chairs who "side by side. . .wed silence with resilience." For Henning, "There's nothing more lovely or more lonely. . ."
Henning's more personal pieces are her strongest. "Reading Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking" forces the reader to confront his or her own fear of death and loss by exposing the chasm of loneliness and irrational hope that often follows the passing of a loved one:You cannot recall what hour he was whisked away in a kaleidoscope of sirens, the house suddenly grown so large you no longer fit comfortably inside. Didn't even the doorbell wither to a barely audible sound, and didn't you think it him ringing, his house key again locked in the car?
The longest piece in The Broken Bone Tongue is a three-part poem of heart-wrenching transparency titled "A Journey to the Father on the Gurney." The reader accompanies Henning as she dodges holiday revelers, a disgruntled dog, and unknowing pedestrians, to rush to her father's bedside in his dying moments. As she nears the hospital, she recalls a time when childhood mischief was punished by her drunken father's hand on her face, his arms weighting her down on a cold block of ice. The reader experiences Henning's apprehension as she enters her father's hospital room. While the nurse sees a dying man in peaceful repose, Henning sees no peace for either of them. Her father, even as he takes his last breaths, is a man still troubled by regrets of the past, and her future is still that of a bruised ice-child with a wounded spirit, condemned to a lifetime of unfulfilled hopes. The poem ends without redemption, leaving the reader to reflect on the solemn responsibilities of parenthood and the command a parent has over a child's self-esteem and destiny, for better or worse.
The Broken Bone Tongue reminds the reader that to see the world is one thing, to experience it is quite another. To really live, human beings must acknowledge the life that breathes and moves around them, must recognize the transcendent qualities of nature here on earth. In a world united, where all creatures are born of the same energy, it is easy to imagine, as Henning does in "Retrospect" that a bowl of potatoes could equal a vase with long stem roses. If one views the world with less expectancy, open to mystery and surprise, as one should view Dianna Henning's poems, then perhaps the gift of transformation can extend to all of us: humans, animals, and even potatoes.
Toy Firing Squad by Tom ChandlerWind Publications 2008 ISBN: 978-1-893239-70-8 Reviewed by Chaitanya Nichols
In Tom Chandler's book of poems titled "Toy Firing Squad," he uses every-day situations to introduce serious topics such as coming of age, death, parenthood, history, and the beauty of life, in an often satirical, often contemplative tone. Times of sadness and despair are contrasted with uplifting, aspirational moments, and this seemingly incongruent imagery is woven together masterfully by Chandler, whose writing has the power to make the reader smile, cry, and laugh, all at the same time. This book takes a lighthearted approach to the serious issues people face in their lives, using irony and metaphor to introduce topics in a manner that turns otherwise bland situations into fodder for the author's caustic wit.
The theme of hope runs as a cord throughout this collection of poems and is used to contrast with the darker tone of poems such as "Kaddish for Bob," which reflects on the helplessness felt by those left behind when exposed to death and bereavement. The image of the man who shovels the first scoop of dirt onto the grave, " . . . bare head/snow frosted," is telling; from the use of the term Kaddish in the title, which is a Jewish prayer associated with mourning rituals, and the mention of a rabbi attending the funeral service, the reader is clued in to the fact that this is a Jewish burial and that the poem is a prayer of mourning for the departed. The absence of a yamulke, or traditional Jewish skullcap, from the man's head and the image of his head being "snow frosted" indicates that this man is not of the Jewish faith, perhaps commenting on the bareness and emptiness one feels in the absence of faith and tradition, or even the mistrust in religion that can grow from tragic life experiences that go seemingly unaffected by intervention from a God who is presumed to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
The poem "Kaddish for Bob" is juxtaposed with the poem titled, "Night Books," which describes how the darkness of night encourages the vivid imagination of the reader, and how the words on the pages of the book are only "dreaming faded to a stain of meaning splashed/across blank paper." In other words, your imagination and dreams give color to the black and white symbols that represent meaning, for the words on the page are only a guide while your mind creates the vision of the piece. Taken as a pair, these two poems comment on the idea that while life events can shape your reality for better or worse, such as the death of a close friend, it is ultimately your decision how to go forth and live your life in the aftermath. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of these two works, "Kaddish for Bob," and "Night Books," is representative of the larger theme of the book: the intermingling of despair and hope, and the capacity of human beings to mold their reality from the lot they are given in life.
The poem aptly titled, "First Poem" is exemplary of how Chandler uses everyday situations to comment on weighty issues; in it, he speaks of a camping trip he made with his father, describing the childlike feelings of elation he experiences, while also painting a picture of his father as a solemn, weathered man. He says:My father sat in the stern, sternly guiding us into the current, eyes shaded by a battered hat as I sat in the bow, dizzy with joy at riding this river, being this boy
Here, Chandler introduces the reader to the joy one derives from being simply being a passenger, guided by knowing, trusted hands, as children should be. He then contrasts these light images with dark, skillfully transitioning the two moods with the image of he and his father in a place of safety, with the comforts of civilization and each others company, watching "the ducks fly away quacking in fear." From this point of action, we are then introduced to the coming of age ritual of Chandler's father allowing him sips of beer, and this sets the pace for the remainder of the poem. One of the most telling lines of the piece occurs in the middle:My father offered me sips of his beer and then went for a swim and stripped bare I glanced at the places his body grew hair and he said that I would as well all too soon . . .
In this passage, Chandler mourns the permanent loss of naivete and unrestricted joy he relished as a boy, evoking feelings of loss and melancholy in the reader, and using the metaphor of "the dark breeze" to represent such coming of age experiences, which he feels "lift the light from the day like campfire smoke/out over the river and forever,/forever away."
Chandler's "Darwin Awards" is a poem that relies heavily on irony to convey the idea that simply being alive is a defiant act in the face of the dangers of life. Chandler enumerates the seemingly harmless acts people have committed that led to their death, and comments on the irony that in an ever more dangerous worldDespite the color-coded warning, the childproof cap, the lead-off story, the surgeon general's report and the tire's squeal we persist in being born completely naked, without crash helmet, kneepads or a prayer.
The idea of helplessness is brought in again in this piece as it was in "Kaddish for Bob," yet this time Chandler uses humor to contrast it. The image of a baby being born with kneepads and a crash helmet is comical and provides a satisfying dividing line from the images of death and destruction that pepper the poem, allowing an overall impression of comedy rather than fatalism. The skill required to bring a reader through nineteen lines of the imagery of death and destruction, and with only two lines bring the mood of the poem back from dismal to uplifting is impressive and worthy of commentary, and Chandler does not disappoint in his ability to transition smoothly and effectively.
The theme of hope is explored in Chandler's poem "Aftermath," which evokes the frustration and discontent of the lower classes while simultaneously praising the invaluableness of those ostensibly without value. Chandler is able to again leave the reader on an upbeat note after having walked them through seventeen lines of somber, disconsolate images, and adeptly paints vivid snapshots of the suffering and longing experienced by the working man who can never enjoy the fruits of his or her own labor. As he points outSomeone must serve as the king's first taster and someone account for the accountant's suicide. And there is the woman who must scrub the toilet she is not permitted to sit upon but does anyway, and feels for a moment the way perfect feel always, and in the aftermath perhaps a quiet dignity that lasts for a good twenty minutes.
Chandler uses the word "perfect" to create an implied contrast to the burdens of the working class, and brings the poem around to the conclusive theme of hope with the simple idea that one's dignity can still be retained in the face of indignity, even if only for a short time.
Chandler's Toy Firing Squad is a study in contrasts, beautifully molded and shaped by the authors sharp wit and studded with dark humor that has the power to turn tears into laughter and convey powerful and complex messages using simple, timeless imagery. This book of poems is refreshing for anyone who can glean joy from every-day situations, anyone who holds onto hope in the face of adversity, and those looking to put a name to the feelings that color their lives. It is at once sharp-witted, touching, humorous, and trenchant. Through the ups and downs, the trials and tribulations, Chandler never loses sight of the conviction that anything life hands you is subject to your own interpretation, and therefore the choice on how to move forward is entirely your own. This collection as a whole points to the fact that with just a little bit of hope, a dash of persistence, and a pinch of humor, we can overcome any obstacle, and this idea is put forth masterfully yet simply in a way that draws readers in and is relatable to their lives no matter where in the world they are.

TAP offers the fundamentals for creating rhythmic sounds. Tap dance helps promote a good sense of rhythm as well as coordination. Correct terminology is always used.
JAZZ classes also focus on proper technique, stretching and body placement with the use of contemporary music. Students learn various forms of movement. Intermediate and Advanced classes incorporate leaps and turns.
HIP HOP is another form of jazz that concentrates more on "popping" and "locking" positions. Today's popular music is usually chosen for this class.
LYRICAL dance, a fusion of ballet & jazz, uses correct technique while developing the dancer's sense of expression and feeling for the music.
MODERN Dance uses the torso employing such elements as contact-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation. Modern dance is not bound to the classical rules of ballet.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Spend a day working for Wayne Barrett, and you'll get a taste of his great loves in life: punctuality, precision, Google Documents, and the word "fuck."
Spend a semester with him, and he'll develop an even deeper passion: you.
On Tuesday, Wayne—one of the last giants of political investigative reporting in New York City—offered an elegaic farewell to his readers at the Village Voice, where he'd raked the muck full-time since 1978—the year of my birth. Beleaguered by financial woes (as we all are), searching for a sound balance between costly longform reporting and cheap blog snark, the Voice can no longer afford Wayne. It loses longtime metro columnist Tom Robbins in the deal, too, because in a profession full of neurotics and back-stabbers, Tom is the most generous, empathetic guy you'll find, from humoring an intern's anti-Yankees trash talk, to running a license plate for a cub reporter, to donating a kidney to a friend, to "going out with the guy who brought me to the dance"—as he told Wayne when explaining why'd he quit the Voice, too.
Let's not cry over these guys yet. Though the addresses may change, they'll keep on transforming our weird world with wicked good writing. Tom's honesty, lyrical prose, and insistence on keeping 10-year-old interview tapes once freed an ex-FBI agent dubiously accused of a mob murder. Wayne—well, among other things, you can thank Wayne for the fact that "President" and "Rudolph Giuliani" don't go together in a sentence.
But now's as good a time as any to reflect on Wayne's reach, because it goes far beyond his own writing: He's a one-man journalism school for aspiring copy-slingers, indirectly responsible for much of what you read in MoJo and the rest of the investigative world. He's always leaned on a cadre of unpaid interns to assist with his research. Unpaid internships generally get a well-deserved bad rap: free labor, exploitation, insecurity. But if you worked for Barrett and paid him a hefty sum each day for the privilege, you'd still be making out like a greasy politician on the deal. From Politico to Rolling Stone to here and here and here at MoJo and far beyond, hundreds of Wayneniks are out there, and we pretty much all feel the same way: His guidance humbled us and empowered us. It made us better reporters and people.
To politicians, pundits, and civil servants, Wayne is a journalistic Marine Corps: no greater friend, no worse enemy. And he runs his charges, too, with military discipline. Perhaps that's why I took such a shining to him. Good St. Joe's kid that he was, he'd considered becoming a man of the cloth before Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism shanghaied him into an equally mysterious priesthood. I'd taken a similar route to the J-school, getting lost on the way and stopping for a couple of years in the military. As a result, we both attacked our journalistic subjects with the zeal—and, occasionally, the rage—of the pious ideologue.
What I lacked, and what he imparted to me, was a rigorous devotion to living for the details. Like my first day on the job, when, not knowing what time to report to his office, I rolled in after 9:30. Wayne was out reporting in the field somewhere, and at his desk sat my new cohort, four other interns, dutifully taking notes as the man dictated their assignments, his voice a gentle but ardent in the speakerphone. He paused for a moment, hearing the ruffle of pages in my steno pad as I settled into a chair. "Is Adam there?" I responded. "Can you take me off the speaker for a second?" I picked up the receiver.
A blast of volume nailed me like a sharp No. 2 pencil in my inner ear. "Where the FUCK are you COMING from? I don't know WHAT the FUCK newsroom you've worked in. Do they start whenever the fuck they want in the morning? This is BULLSHIT, Adam. Look, if you don't want to do this thing, if it's not compatible with your schedule or wake-up time or whatever the fuck—"
Somehow, it got smoothed over, and I learned what no drill instructor managed to get through to me. I learned what a total commitment should feel like.
Once they get a feel for how much (or how little) their readers can digest, professional journalists feel temptation to skimp on the legwork, to compensate for a paucity of facts with an excess of emotion. It's a temptation I've succumbed to on occasion, especially in our bloggy New New New Journalism world. But if you show Wayne a facility for resisting that temptation—for tempering your fervor with cold, hard, indisputable details no one else bothered to unearth—he'll walk through fires (or set a couple of them) on your behalf.
When he works away from the newsroom, you and your fellow aspirants compile your labors each night for him in a shared Google Doc: hundreds of daily pages of clips from Lexis Nexis and the Voice's crusty morgue full of browning back issues; interview notes; sidebar suggestions; no-go phone calls; random insights. At first, he'll take it all and weave it into an epic cover story himself. The next month, he'll run it past you to copy edit and fact check. Later, he'll trust you to help him with structure and story points. Then, maybe he leans on your reporting and writing and gives you a double byline. At some point, looking at your work, he says, "Hey, this is good. You should write this as a piece of your own..."
And you do. And maybe he takes you along to interview a government official or TV personality, and you learn how to overcome your starstruck-ness, how to turn a half-hour interview into a five-hour marathon, how to slip the hard questions in, how to (politely) induce in your interviewee a state of total honesty through total exhaustion.
Maybe he introduces you to every major politician and beat reporter at a Super Tuesday shindig, cajoles editors into calling for your resume and clips, buys you a beer, asks about your fiancee and when you guys are gonna get around to having a couple of bambinos. Fran and the kids are everything to him, after all.
By this point, you realize you're one of those kids. Not blood, but pretty damn near.
Tuesday afternoon, the day he calls it quits at 36 Cooper Square, I reach Wayne on the phone, and he 's as happy as I've ever heard him. "I'm not concerned about the Voice," he tells me. "I'm concerned about the beat."
I'm worried about neither. The Voice is still in capable editorial hands. Wayne has his health, his family, and a new office at The Nation Institute. Also, a new set of politicians in Albany and the five boroughs to antagonize. His salary won't be as high, and "I won't have as much space as I've been able to have," he says.
But he tells me there's one big perk, and it seems to make all the difference: "They say I can bring interns!"

Google said Tuesday that it may pull out of China because of a sophisticated computer network attack originating there and targeting its e-mail service and corporate infrastructure, a threat that could rattle U.S.-China relations, as well as China's business community.
The company said it has evidence to suggest that "a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists," but it said that at least 20 other large companies, including finance, media and chemical firms, have been the targets of similar attacks. Google said it discovered the attack in December.
"It's clear that this attack was so pervasive and so essential to the core of Google's intellectual property that only in such a situation would they contemplate pulling the plug on their entire business model in China," said James Mulvenon, a China cyber expert with Defense Group Inc.
Congressional sources said the other companies include Adobe and possibly Northrop Grumman and Dow Chemical. Industry sources said the attacks were even broader, affecting 34 firms.
The hackers directed the attacks on the companies through six Internet addresses linked to servers in Taiwan, which sent commands to targeted computers in the firms, said Eli Jellenc, head of international cyberintelligence for the Silicon Valley-based cybersecurity research and forensics firm Verisign iDefense, which is helping companies investigate the penetrations. The hackers were sending the data to a large Internet data center in San Antonio called Rackspace, he said.
They appeared to be after information on weapons systems from defense firms and were seeking companies' "source code," the most valuable form of intellectual property because it underlies the firms' computer applications, he said.
U.S. authorities, including the National Security Agency, are involved in investigating the attacks.
Several of the Internet addresses correspond to those used in malicious attacks against the defense industry last year and that are thought to be linked in some fashion to the Chinese government or proxies, Jellenc said.
David Drummond, Google's senior vice president and chief legal officer, said the attacks had led the company to conclude that it should "review the feasibility" of its Chinese operations. "We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China," he said.
Drummond also said that the company has decided to stop censoring its search results on Chinese Google sites. Over the next few weeks, he said, the company will discuss with the Beijing government how it may operate "an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all."
Google's threat to pull out of China follows years of tension over the company's service, which is designed to provide quick, unfettered access to information, and over the Chinese government, which wants to restrict its citizens' access to politically sensitive topics and to monitor their activity. The confrontation also comes just before a Jan. 21 policy speech on Internet freedom by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who dined last week with a handful of top technology executives, including Google's chief executive, Eric Schmidt.
Clinton said Google had briefed her on the issue, but in a statement late Tuesday she demanded an explanation from China. "The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy," she said.
Based on its investigation to date, Google said, it does not believe the cyberattack on its accounts succeeded. "Only two Gmail accounts appear to have been accessed, and that activity was limited to account information (such as the date the account was created) and subject line, rather than the content of emails themselves," the company said in a blog posting.
Google has also been embroiled recently in a dispute over the copyrights of Chinese authors whose works it had published in its online library Google Books. Chinese writers have accused it of copyright infringement. The company apologized to Chinese writers this week.
Privacy advocates applauded Google's move to disclose the cyberattacks and reverse its stand on censorship of its China search engine results.
"Google has taken a bold and difficult step for Internet freedom in support of fundamental human rights," said Leslie Harris, president of the Center for Democracy and Technology. "No company should be forced to operate under government threat to its core values or to the rights and safety of its users."
In China, reaction on the Web was critical of both the Chinese government and Google.
One blogger, identified only as "Crossing the river with eyes closed," said, "They'd better cut the cable under the sea so that they don't have to worry at all." The late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping famously said that reform was like crossing a river one stone at a time.
Others worried that the potential loss of access to Google would make it harder to obtain technical information.
"Of course, as a business they have the right to make this decision," Ran Yunfei, a dissident writer based in Sichuan province, said on Twitter, which is blocked in China but which many Chinese reach through proxies. But, he added, even censored, Google is "much better than Baidu," a popular Chinese-owned search engine.
In a phone interview, he said Google should "not abandon" China but rather apply pressure through the World Trade Organization and U.S. government.
Google officials said the company found that the Gmail accounts of dozens of China human rights advocates in the United States, China and Europe "appear to have been routinely accessed by third parties." The hacking most likely occurred through phishing scams -- luring users to download malicious software by opening innocent-looking e-mails -- or malware placed on users' computers, rather than by breaking into Google's corporate infrastructure, the company said.
The implications for U.S. businesses in general loom large.
"Google is an extreme example, but this action is consistent with the sentiment among many foreign companies that doing business in China is increasingly difficult as the country becomes more wealthy and powerful," said James McGregor, senior counselor for Apco Worldwide in China.
China is among a handful of countries considered to have impressive cyber-offensive capabilities, but U.S. officials have refrained from publicly accusing the country because of the difficulty of determining with certainty who is behind an attack.
Attacks on China rights activists have been growing, however, and suspicion has fallen on the Beijing government.
China -- or its broad army of proxies -- has been the suspected aggressor behind a series of attacks on U.S. and other countries' computer systems dating from the late 1990s. Those events include Titan Rain, a campaign of cyberattacks against the Pentagon, nuclear weapons labs, NASA and defense contractors from 2003 to 2005; penetrations of the Commerce and State department networks in 2006; and GhostNet, a widespread spying operation targeting supporters of Tibetan independence in 2008.
When Google set up a subsidiary in China in 2005 and purchased servers hosted in the country, it agreed to censor its search results. But the company and the government officials trolling the Internet have continued to clash over what content should be blocked.
The conflicts escalated in June when Beijing blamed Google for smut on the Internet, saying that some search results could be considered pornographic. China temporarily blocked Google.com and Gmail in what was believed to be a punishment.
The State Department has set aside funds to help companies get around Internet firewalls put up by China and other countries. One potential recipient is run by the Falun Gong sect, which is banned in China, but it has yet to receive any such funding. "The Chinese would go ballistic if we did that," said one U.S. official.
Mufson reported from Beijing, Nakashima from Washington. Pomfret, traveling with Clinton, reported from Honolulu. Staff writers Ariana Eunjung Cha and Cecilia Kang and staff researcher Julie Tate in Washington contributed to this report.

On December 8, 2011, the Hawaii Attorney General issued a formal opinion rejecting a claim by suicide proponents that assisted suicide is "already legal" due to a 1909 statute. The opinion, requested by Hawaii State Senator Joshua Green, MD, has now been publicly released. The opinion not only rejects the proponents' claim, but affirmatively states that a physician who assists a suicide "could be charged under Hawaii's manslaughter statute. . . ." The opinion states:
"Dear Senator Green:
Re: Hawaii law on assistance with dying
You have asked (1) whether [the 1909 statute,] §453-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), authorizes a physician to assist a terminally ill patient with dying when requested by or on behalf of the patient, and (2) whether any criminal laws prohibit aid in dying.
We are assuming that a physician's assistance with dying would consist of prescribing a lethal dose of medication that a terminally ill patient could take to bring on a swifter and possibly more peaceful death than would otherwise ensue. Our analysis addresses only this method of assistance. Briefly, (1) we do not believe that §453-1 provides authority for a physician to assist with dying, and (2) a physician who provided such assistance could be charged under Hawaii's manslaughter statute. . . ."
To view the entire opinion, click here.
In Hawaii, a doctor or other person who causes or fails to prevent a suicide can also be subjected to civil liability, generally in a custodial situation. See e.g., Schwenke v. Outrigger Hotels, 122 Hawai'i 389, 392 (2010).

Spiritual Meaning of 555
Find out the spiritual meaning of 555 and what it means for your life. If you see these repeating numbers, your angels are trying to communicate with you. Read what they want you to know. I have written before about other repeating numbers like 000, 111, 11:11, 222, 333, 444, 666, 777, 888, and 999 in case you are seeing those numbers as well.
What is the Spiritual Meaning of 555?
Seeing any repeating number is a sign that there is a current issue in your life and the numbers are a sign to get you to pay attention. It is a persons subconscious trying to make them aware of something consciously.
Please do not think that seeing a particular number is "bad" or "good". The Universe sends you different messages at different times, each having a separate vibrational frequency. It does not mean you are any more evolved or conscious than another. These numbers are triggers, more than anything, to help you remember your life purpose and connection to Source.
The Energy of Angel Number 555
The energy of 555 sweeps and flows like the tides of the universe. It is the ever constant change that prepares us for the next new thing. You are seeing the repeating number 555 as a way to remember what you were put on this earth to do. You are all healers of one type or another. You are needed to usher in the new wave of energies. Seeing 555 is point of remembrance of this change.
When you are vibrationally aligned with this change, you will see 555. There is nothing bad or good about seeing this number, it is really a small help to you to assist you in remembering your purpose, as all numbers are. It is correct that all numbers carry their own vibrational energies. Once you learn about the most notable ones, you will begin to see others.
Do not be upset by seeing any of these repeating numbers. When you see numbers like this it is important to remember to keep your thoughts positive and not let yourself get frightened by them.
Feel the fear and have the courage to step into the power of change. You may wonder what types of changes, such as global, local or personal. I don't think you can really distinguish between the types of changes. It is all the same, just packaged a bit differently.
When you begin seeing the repeating number of 555 it carries with it the energy of change. I know you may interpret change as a bad thing, but change is neither good or bad, it is just change. You are vibrationally capable of sensing and feeling and noticing the change. Your angels offer this number to you as a vehicle to recognize important signs in your life.
It is an additional piece of assistance to help in your communications with your guides and angels. Just by being aware of the repeating number 555, you are embracing change. Please know that your guides and angels are there for you, helping you. The more aware you are of your angels, the greater amount of communication they can have with you.

Birds N Stuff [view the full listing]
Minneapolis, MN 55419
(612) 827-3882
Highly recommended
I purchased a bird from this shop and know that this is NOT a birdmill... He has a love for birds and I disagree that the birds are in too small of cages. His birds are hand fed and held frequently that they are very social. Based on Tom's guidance, our bird loves to hang out on and around his cage and has been a great pet for our family! I recommend this shop to anyone interested in a bird. It is a dusty shop because bird's are dusty but I know his birds are well cared for...

Digital Data Cry Out — Save Me!
By Janet Raloff, 16:29 PM June 16, 2008
Digital. It's the darling of science and nearly everything else. Publishing online means going paperless. Good for the environment, right? Presenting findings in digital form means data can be shared effortlessly and nearly instantaneously between collaborators over long distances. Digital data can be collected and stored at very little cost — good for tight research budgets, right?
What none of these issues confronts is the fragility of digital files. How and where will you store them? How...

[post_intro] [/post_intro]
If I lived in the suburbs I'd demand more places like The Pub so I can drink until I forget I live in the suburbs. Who am I kidding, I'd drink no matter where I lived. I love the hooch.
I love the hooch.
I don't always drive all the way out to west Broward for a drink, but when I do I prefer The Pub, and I rip off the rhetoric from a popular commercial in order to get my point across. I was there this past weekend meeting up with some Italian ragazzi bella that let me humor them for a couple of hours and demanded I write about this place, hence the honorable mention. This is what I've been relegated to doing; fulfilling demands/requests.
Haha, Orlando, you're a bitch now.
That's me.
Being an English pub means having dudes in kilts serve you liquor. Why? The Scots and Irish wear them, but I'm pretty sure the English opted for oppressing the shit out of kilt-wearers in lieu of letting their balls dangle freely in the wind. That's probably why English men are so uptight. They keep their nutsacks taped to their inner thighs because it's what proper gentlemen of the Crown aught do. Being an English pub also means lots of booze and godawful food. Fish & chips, bubble & squeak, bangers & mash; it seems like in order to make a British meal you just take two words that mean some other shit in The Queen's English and put them together. Next week I'm having me some homos & buttsex. No, I swear, it's not what it sounds like, it's totally a British thing.
When we were there they had a Beatles cover band called "Across the Universe", which I'm sure is a highly original name that no other cover band in the US uses. I made a joke about how someone should go up to the guy that's supposed to be Lennon and shoot him, because I'm an asshole, but in reality they weren't that bad. I did get to learn of a few songs I wasn't aware were Beatles songs, so, you know, there's that.
I made a joke about how someone should go up to the guy that's supposed to be Lennon and shoot him…
The booze is typical, so no complaints, however I've gotta talk about the food. The rest of my party asked what the best dishes were and the server ran down a list of stuff. I asked her what the worst dishes were and she didn't really hesitate to say fish tacos. So I ordered fish tacos. Let's go ahead and give The Pub some honesty points because those tacos tasted like the ass-crack sweat from a Cambodian elephant herder. You're probably wondering, "hey, Orlando, how do you know what Cambodian elephant herder ass-crack sweat tastes like?" Because I've been to the Olive Garden before. I don't know if it was the fish itself or the demon blood they used as a "tangy" sauce, but there was something completely awful about them. But I ate them all. I'm a masochist.
I can't recommend eating dinner here, but when it comes to hanging out and having yourself a good 'ol drinking time, there's no better place around.
No, seriously, you'll be in the 'burbs, there are no other places around.

Introduction to CAT 2011 and the new pattern
Ibnlive gets an expert's perspective on the new format of CAT 2011 test to benefit examinees.
CAT 2011 is quite a departure from previous years' CAT. CAT in its new avatar has only two sections (instead of 3 or 4 sections in the previous years' CAT) with sectional timings and a defined order of sections.
The first section will be Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation (QA & DI), followed by the second section, which is Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning (VA & LR), each section having 30 questions to be answered in 70 mins. Test takers have to first exhaust the 70 mins allotted for the first section and only then can they move to the second section.
For the second section, even though there will be an option of Exit Test, serious aspirants will exhaust all of the 70 mins allotted to the second section. Once in the second section, the test taker cannot go back to the first section. However, within a section, test takers can go back & forth between the 30 questions.
As there are only two specified sections and no sub-sections, it is very unlikely that there will be sub-sectional cut-off. There will be two sectional cut-offs, and IIMs have already disclosed their cut-offs for the two sections and the overall cut-off on their respective websites. However, these cut-off percentiles are only the basic minimum criteria and do not ensure an interview call.
In the new format, students need not worry about time management between sections and should simply focus on maximizing their score in the section in those 70 mins. Also, students should use any extra time left in a section to maximize score or double check their answers. CAT score is given a high weightage in the screening process for both the interview calls and final admissions. One should just aim at maximizing their score in each section, increasing their chances of interview & final admission call.
Candidates with a specific weak area are at a definite advantage due to the combination of areas in a section. As there are only 2 sections for 4 areas, those having a handicap in a specific test area, say Quant, may now look at compensating for it with the other area from the section, DI in this case. This is in contrast to the case earlier when competence was to be shown in all the three areas. This will come as a relief to a large number of CAT aspirants. However, the break-up in a section as to how many questions will come from each test area (QA, DI, VA, LR) is not disclosed.
Students should avoid having any preconceived notions about the break-up and instead should have a flexible approach towards the paper, equipped to tackle any composition of questions in a section. Also, there is not much clarity as to what constitutes Logical Reasoning (LR) in VA & LR, and there are three possibilities with respect to LR questions:
a) Critical Reasoning questions (similar to the kind that appear in GMAT test).
b) Puzzles, deductions and connectives, which came in the 'Data and Logical Reasoning' section in previous year's CAT.
c) A mix of both (a) and (b) mentioned above.
In order to tackle any surprises with respect to composition of questions in a section and the type of LR questions, students should take as many practice tests in the new format with different variations. However, it is very important to note that the preparation for topics/test areas will remain the same, as only the format has changed and not the content of the paper.
With only two sections with 30 questions per section, serious aspirants cannot afford to neglect any topic/test area. Selective preparation strategy is strictly not advised as a good number of questions can come from the neglected topic/test area in a particular CAT slot. Proficiency in all topics/test areas is required.

Heater and A/C won't turn on
Forgive me for any bad terminology. :)
My heat wouldn't turn on today. I have a programmable thermostat which has worked fine for a few months. I tried manually turning the temp up an additional five degrees from where it was and nothing happened - no heat and the fan didn't kick on either. I even tried turning on the central A/C and lowered the temperature to 7 degrees below the current temp and nothing happened. It doesn't look like any of my breakers tripped. I checked to make sure I do have gas (stove worked, hot water works) and my electric is working. Earlier in the week, the electric stacks on the side of my condo were replaced, but the heat has worked since then. The emergency switch for the gas burner is in the on position.
I'm really not sure what the issue is. Let me know if there is anymore info that is needed to help describe this problem.
Does the thermostat make an audible click when you turn it up 2 or more degrees? Most electronic thermostats do when they cut in. You may have a bad thermostat or no power to your furnace. Post the make and model and serial # of the furnace.
Or a blown fuse or transformer in the furnace.
thermostat batteries?
Sorry for the false alarm guys.
I actually did check all of those things before, but when my neighbor came home, I asked him about and it he checked the furnace - looks like the pilot light went out on the furnace. Sad part was, I had taken that panel off on the furnace and didn't even notice the pilot light wasn't on (probably because i've never seen it before, so I didn't know where to look). Not sure why it happened or if it'll happen again, but I was really concerned since the furnace and my a/c unit are both originals (23 years old). Not looking forward to replacing those just yet....
Thanks for the help guys!
Your A/C should have worked.. Pilot on furnace won't affect A/C
Yep, pilot has no bearing on A/C.
maybe when you switch to cool at the stat, you didn't wait long enough for the delay.
or too cold in the house for it to call
Well, I did drop the temp considerably on the thermostat for the a/c, but yeah, maybe I didn't wait long enough....
The heat has been heating since that pilot light was turned back on... will the heat work if the fan doesn't work? I though I read somewhere that it would, but it might cause something to burn out?
The burners will still light.
But, when the heat exchanger gets to hot. The safety will shut the burners off.
And yes, continued operation like that will damage the heat exchanger.
Same as constantly over heating your cars engine will damage it.
Ok, just tried the fan. The temp in the condo (75) is well above the temperature set (70), it's set for heat, fan on auto. I turned the fan to On and it did turn on.
So, everything should be ok, right?
Doesn't matter what the temp is in the house.. When you turn t.stat switch to fan on you are sending power straight to the relay to power the blower motor.. So, yes it should come on
I was concerned because the fan wasn't coming on, even when set to on, when the pilot light wasn't on. I thought the fan would come on anyway whether or not the pilot light was on.
Fan should come on weather pilot is on or not when t.stat is set to the fan on position. Pilot off has no bearing on the fan on position on t.stat

The Dinner
by Herman Koch, trans Sam Garrett
(Atlantic Books, £12.99)
The two teenage cousins have committed an act of grotesque and unprovoked viciousness for which Paul's son, in particular, remains unrepentant and the parents gather at a fancy restaurant to try to formulate a coherent response.
The novel is narrated by Paul, whose splenetic, green-eyed contempt for everything, from the pretensions of the waiting staff to the holiday preferences of his brother, provides much of the book's bleak and bone-dry humour. And for the first half of the novel, Paul's internal rant is indeed very funny, in the way that being stuck in a lift with a strange cousin of Alf Garnett might be funny, not least because you know it will eventually end. Which it duly does, and when the main course arrives, and we get to the meat of the story, the mood darkens and the book takes an altogether more complex turn. By pudding we are firmly in psychological thriller territory and all the better for it.
If the interest in the first half is all in the voice of Paul, in the final third of the book the action takes over and the novel's build-up to its spine-chillingly brilliant ending makes it easy to forgive the multiple implausibilities of the plot (among them the unlikelihood of two sets of parents, including a prominent and widely recognised public figure, choosing to discuss a serious crime committed by their respective sons in the very exposed surroundings of a restaurant) and just go along for the ride.
Like its more accomplished literary stablemates, The Slap and We Need to Talk about Kevin, The Dinner is a conversation piece as much as a novel, as designed to be chewed over among friends as it is to be read alone. Which is not to underplay its literary merits. The very peculiar toxicity of Paul's voice and the luscious build-up of suspense towards the denouement are alone worth the price (and the reading) of the book but The Dinner is more compelling still for the questions it asks about loyalty, morality, sibling rivalry and parental responsibility.
"How far would you go to protect the ones you love?" teases the jacket, but this misses the point, because the really shocking secret of Koch's world is that, for Paul at least, we find ourselves way beyond love, in tribal territory where the unconscious narcissistic pull of genetic heritage holds sway and the phrase "like father, like son" takes on a grim, unswerving dynamic all its own. It makes for a discomforting, absorbing read.
I'm confidently predicting that The Dinner will become this summer's literary talk of the town — and the Twittersphere — here in the UK, as it already is in Continental Europe, where the novel has sold more than a million copies. Order yours now.

September 28, 2006 By Indrajit Basu, International Correspondent
Of course, aficionados of Europe's and UK's digital communities efforts may jump up to rattle names of at least a dozen local governments that are supposedly "bubbling" with pilot projects or have already successfully implemented a couple. But the impression one gets after attending the two-day brain-storming session is that the pursuit of building digital communities in UK, or even in Europe, is still mired with issues starting from technological problems to choice of appropriate business models to even skepticisms.
The gap is stark in UK considering that fact that it is at the forefront of Europe's digital communities efforts and even has articulated policies and programs in place. As they say, "if it happens in Europe it has to happen in UK first". But the fact is, barring the Westminister's wireless city project it has nothing significant to talk of just yet.
Still the driving force behind UK's digital efforts through the policy document called to "Connecting the UK: the Digital Strategy" released in April 2005 is worth noting. Riding on highest figure in the land in terms of possessing one of the most advanced and most competitive mobile phone markets in the world, and one of the most competitive broadband markets in the G7 that boasts of over 90 percent of the population with broadband services, the government has decided to adopt the power of information and communication and technology to bridge the digital divide and to change the way its people work, live and play.
The Government is even putting money where its mouth is. For instance through one of the Strategy initiatives called Digital Challenge launched in December last year, local communities were invited to create a world class exemplar of a "wired up community". Eighteen regional winners were chosen from 79 entries, and on July 12 at a ceremony in London 10 finalists were given

I'm not a mechanic (but I'm very mechanically inclined and have more common sense than most people I meet) , so I have no idea what the problem is, but the injector install was pretty straightforward. I'm not sure what I missed. I don't think any dirt or anything got in the top of the motor. I was very careful, but there was potential for some to get in when I removed the rails since some of the injectors came off with the rail even though the clips were off.
Am I correct in the assumption that if some gunk dropped in there it may be toast? Or do you guys think it could be something else?
Thanks for the help,

very doubtful junk was dropped in. in a situation like this i would start with basics and work up, that means
1. compression test
2. check the timing belt/chain to make sure nothing skipped a tooth
3. check ignition timing
4. remove valve covers and inspect for broken valve springs
5. test egr
6. check fuel pressure
i have a feeling something in here won't jive
leaking spark plug wires can also do this. if it's dark out when you hear it knocking look to see if any energy is visible between wires. i've seen oil coated wires actually arcing off on the block before.
the compression test is the single most important test to start with. also unhook your distributor and or disable the coil{s} in some way. compression tests with live distributors can fry coils since the energy has no where to go

Sounds similar to mine, I've got a 91 3.1 3sp as well. My car itself has a dead cylinder in it that's never affected drivibility, I know weird eh, #3 cylinder is stupid low on comp. My car started an idle hunt today which prompted me to do a few quick online checks and therefore I am here.
Few things I would check, CTS or coolant temp sensor, O2 sensor may be going bad, both of these will sometimes trip a code, but not all the time. And both of these are diretly related to the temp of the engine, when they are clod they do a completely different job then when the engine is at operating temps. These are also the things I need to check regarding my issue of idle hunt turned into SES light and good idle. It could be a vacuum leak, however be reminded it could also be a vacuum leak, I would check all the hoses and also do a spray test around the intake where it mates to the heads, use starting fluid, and spray the mating surface as close as you can get it WITH the engine running. If there is a vacuum leak there the engine will pull in the starting fluid and will generally stall.
Depending on loudness and the type of knock / rattle it could be a dead lifter. They can get extremly loud, and by running that much seafoam through the crankcase could have inadvertanly turned things worse by breaking something up that didn't need to be broken up, as stupid as this may sound it could be the case, I've seen more engines break from running a degunkifiying substance through it then they've helped usually becuase they remove all the crap that the engine is USE to having, will leave you with looser tolerances in bearings which creates a drop in oil pressure which can result in a spun rod bearing, and could be the cause of this knock... If the car itself SOUNDS like it is running ohkay.. it's probably just a dead lifter. Valve springs don't usually break. If the car started to run rougher, like it's missign another cylinder then I would check for a spring broke but not before then.
My .02 now I have to figger out what broke on mine so I can fix this stupid idle hunt.
Update on mine, Code 44
?Prolly the EGR valve that looks like it's leaking something feirce and blwoing soot all over my throttle body :o..
91 6000-LE 3.1 3sp 160k
92 Astro 4.3 CFI 4sp 400k
97 Grand Prix GT 3.8 4sp 156k
03 Sebring LX 2.4 4sp 98k ( the one that doesn't run, needs head, damn timing belt )
