Today, my train was canceled so my ticket expired by the time another train arrived. I was fined $90 by ticket inspectors 'cause my claim that the early train didn't run was "unsubstantiated". Leaving the train I was pushed by the crowd, fell, lost a shoe and had to walk home with one bare foot. FML

A new concept -- the ME.WE – has recently been unveiled by Toyota. The ME.WE, which is designed to be an 'anti-excess' vehicle', was built with the cooperation of French architect Jean-Marie Massaud. Toyota said that the principle behind this model was to "do more and create better while using less." Toyota describes this concept as a city car, convertible, pick-up and 4x4 in one package.
It has a weight of only 750kg due to the use of a tubular aluminium chassis with interchangeable polypropylene body panels. These panels actually weigh just 14kg. The ME.WE concept uses a design of in-wheel electric motors similar to the one used by the i-ROAD concept at the Geneva Motor Show.
The ME.WE has four wheels while the i-ROAD has three so this means that the ME.WE is offered in 4WD. And by using electric motors, buyers don't have to deal with the complexity and weight of an all-wheel-drive transmission. The simple, ecologically-conscious design extends to its interior. The cabin's horizontal surfaces use bamboo from renewable sources.
Furthermore, passengers get more space since the batteries are positioned under the floor. The instrument panel displays the speed, sat-nav direction, and battery speed. The luggage is placed on the roof under a fold-out, weatherproof cover.
To ensure that the battery doesn't run out quickly, the air conditioning and seat heaters of the ME.WEs are supplied by a low-energy air pump. Proving further that the ME.WE is indeed four cars in one, Toyota achieved a convertible effect by lowering all of the windows, which include the windscreen.

It is a two horse race down the stretch and each player have bright futures. Jason Bay and Khalil Greene were so much better than the rest of the competition that it figures to come down to the wire.
Greene manned one of the toughest positions on the field and more than held his own. His defense was a steadying force up the middle of the field and contributed to the success of the pitching staff. Not only did he make the ordinary play, but he also made many a fan shake their heads in awe with the spectacular. He was in on 81 double plays and had a .965 fielding percentage.
"His glove is worth 5-10 wins a year for us with all the runs he saves," General Manager Kevin Towers said at the time of Greene's injury.
A slow May almost pushed Greene out of the race but he bounced back and had his best month during August when he hit .311 with five homers and 16 RBI's. And away from pitcher-friendly Petco, Greene hit .301.
He ended the year with 15 homers, 31 doubles, four triples and 65 RBI's while batting .273. What is missed during these talks is his position in the batting order – eighth. Batting before the pitcher for much of the year, Greene saw nothing but junk and still found a way to contribute in a positive way.
Bay, a leftfielder, had just two errors on the year but only threw out three runners. He provided solid protection on the left side of the field and showed pretty good range.
His forte, however, was definitely his bat. The former Padre farm hand, and former roommate of Greene, was hot at the plate for most of the year. He hit .338 in July and had three months with six homers or more. His worst month was September when he hit .260 yet he still earned Rookie of the Month honors due to his league-high 22 RBI's during the month.
Overshadowing is all is July 2 memory when Bay had four extra base hits and plated eight men on the night. He ended the year with 82 RBI's, passing Ralph Kiner for most RBI's ever by a Pirates rookie.
Bay led all National League rookies in homers, RBI, extra-base hits, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, and is first with a .327 batting average with runners in scoring position.
No Pirate, however, has ever won the ROY award and no Canadian born player has ever won the award.
When the dust clears on Monday one of these players will have to smile for his friend across the country.
Greene may have had the votes before his late season injury but Bay has the votes today. In a world of what have you done for me lately, Jason Bay will get the award and is deserving. More than Khalil? That is a debate that will rage on until spring.

UPDATE 4-U.S. sues to stop Deere from buying Precision Planting
(Adds comment from Monsanto unit Climate Corp, updates closing share prices)
By Diane Bartz and Meredith Davis
WASHINGTON/CHICAGO Aug 31 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Wednesday aimed at stopping Deere & Co from buying Monsanto Co's Precision Planting farm equipment business, saying that the deal could make it more expensive for farmers to use fast, precise planting technology.
Deere said in a statement that it would fight the lawsuit and that the Justice Department's antitrust concerns were "misguided."
Monsanto said in November that it would sell to Deere its Precision Planting unit, which makes the components of precision planters. Precision Planting also sells its technology to retrofit older planters and to other planter manufacturers. Deere has its own precision planting technology.
The Justice Department said the proposed deal would mean higher prices for equipment for high-speed precision planting, which allows farmers to plant row crops like corn up to twice as fast as with conventional machinery. In February, Deere completed its acquisition of Monosem, which also makes precision planters.
A massive Deere ExactEmerge planter sells for about $150,000, which includes components for precision farming, while a Precision Planting retrofit kit costs about $30,000, J.P. Morgan analyst Ann Duignan estimated in a research note.
In particular, the Justice Department was concerned about Deere selling both the big machine planters themselves as well as the technology to make the big machines.
"By offering farmers high-speed precision planting retrofit kits at a fraction of the cost of a new planter, Precision Planting posed a formidable challenge to Deere and its profitable sales of new planters," the Justice Department said in its complaint, asking a court to stop the proposed transaction.

Johannesburg: Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao has said that he is "Ok" even if he doesn't get a chance of a rematch against his fierce rival Floyd Mayweather,who has declared his retirement, adding that he will take on any other contender in his next fight.
Pacquiao had earlier demanded punishment and a rematch against Mayweather, who was alleged of breaching drug testing rules on the eve of their mega-fight four months ago in Las Vegas.
Mayweather was accused of receiving an intravenous injection of saline and vitamins that was banned under World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines.
The eight-division world champion further admitted that boxing is not his focus right now as he is giving rest to his shoulder, Sport24 reported.
Pacquiao said that he was waiting to see whether Maywether will be sanctioned by U.S. boxing authorities for taking an IV drip after the weigh-in for their fight in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Mayweather, who defeated Pacquiao on a unanimous decision to extend his unbeaten streak to 48-0, had denied all the allegations leveled against him and described himself as a 'clean athlete'.
Mayweather said in a statement that he has always followed the rules of Nevada and United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
The American boxer had declared his retirement after he equalled former world heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano's record of 49 straight wins by beating challenger Andre Berto in Las Vegas on Saturday.(ANI)

When your Toyota Matrix left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes economical pricing in their automobile. Toyota automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Matrix around town. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. Car aficionados appreciate the long-lasting service built into each Toyota, and know that only the best replacement Matrix parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.
In the earliest forms of transportation, it was realized that the wheel would turn much more efficiently if some friction was reduced at the space where it rotated. Believe it or not, your Toyota Matrix benefits from the inventions that date back about 5,000 years such as the axle and wheel hub. The wheels are bolted to the wheel hub assembly; providing them with a flat surface that rotates with as little friction as possible. Since half of your Toyota Matrix wheel hub bolts to the wheel carrier while the other half rotates, it requires a tapered roller-type wheel bearing be pressed into it. On some advanced wheel hub assemblies, the ABS ring and sensor will be installed.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Toyota Matrix part for your needs. Don't let a Wheel Hub & Bearing repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. Buying new Toyota parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Matrix parts on the internet. If your car or truck was built in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, then you will find the correct Toyota Matrix Wheel Hub & Bearing parts right here.

When Things Don't Happen in a Scene
Filed Under: Interaction
Often seen in: role-play
One...flaw (some might say) of role-playing is the exact point of it: that it introduces too many characters and different styles of writing at once. It's not realistic of scenes or commercial pieces of writing to have a bunch of characters suddenly come to the reader. The problem of role-plays is that some authors go for the approach of throwing everything in at once, which can often lead to the previously-mentioned points of power-playing and impossible characters.
It's better for authors to let main characters be introduced straight away, before having the following characters...follow. At the appropriate moment. However, in collaborative, there do not seem to be any main characters, which is when you get the situation of the scene of introductions.
[begin scene]
I gazed around at those gathered in the living room area. There were so many!
"Okay, guys," I called, clearing my voice. "I think we should do some introductions. I'm Claire and I can read minds. For instance, you're Red-" I pointed to the crimson-haired girl in front of me "-and you can make objects materialise."
"That's true!" laughed Red.
"Okay. Next. Who are you and what can you do?"
"Hi, I'm Cassy, I can climb walls." Cassy demonstrated as we all stared on in awe.
"What about you?" I asked the boy who had so far been silent in the corner. "What's your name? Do you have any skills?"
"I'm Josh," he grumbled. "I can control the weather."
And then we all went into the kitchen to eat the muffins that Red had just materialised. [end scene]
Frankly, by the end of the example, I'm annoyed at the narrator for being so forthright with her questions. There is no sense of variation between what she is asking – simply because there are no variations between the ways the characters are being introduced. Yes, it's useful for the writers to have a scene where each character suddenly gets to know all the others, but it leaves no lasting impression on the reader, who is still confused as to who is who.
I've been told that each scene must contain conflict, even just as little as a pair of friends or lovers arguing over minute things. Why? Because it keeps the prose alive. If a book was filled with the 'mundanity' of life, then no one would read it. I sat here typing my ideas for the collaborative I was going to add to. I was hungry, probably because of the boring ethics test I had just had. They made them too difficult! I looked to the clock. 12. 00. I was going to have to wait a whole half-hour before my schedule would allow me to eat lunch! I looked back at the text... (I could go on!)
I believe this should be the same with role-plays; if there is nothing but meetings and discussions, the chances are high that authors will drop out or conveniently forget they need to post.
Now, how can we at Protagonize combat this without getting rid of role-plays? I suggest working as a group of authors to give each character a significant entrance that utilises their skills (even in role-plays where the supernatural is not prominent). Let's not throw everything at the reader at once. If it's a romance, we could have the love interest helping the best friend out of some trouble, and then being introduced through the best friend, something which mirrors life.
For the occurrence of many characters, they all need to come to a point of relevant motion in the story, but they don't necessary have to all meet at the same time or be involved in the same sorts of actions. The more action and conflict, in the midst of which characters meet, the better. Let's not have a scene dedicated to introductions alone.
In one collaborative I worked in years back, there was this scene (helpfully paraphrased here!), which I found particular helpful for the introduction of a couple of characters:
As Sapphire stared in amazement at the flames she had shot out of her hands, she began to panic. The windowless room heated up alarmingly quickly.
Suddenly, water began to pour through the door, leaving a wet mark, but a safe exit nonetheless. The door swung open. Sapphire peered around its edge to see a woman with long blonde hair, her hand pressed firmly up to the door. It took Sapphire a second longer to identify that the water still pouring was coming from the pores of the girl's palms.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Better now. That's amazing! I thought I was alone in my abilities..."

Chapter ThreeMature
Chapter Three - Olivia
I remembered every single detail about that night. The unbearable pain and loss I experienced, it felt like someone had ripped a hole out of my chest and left my heart aching and bruised. Nothing mattered after that. Everything had become pointless and trivial.
I still miss them to this very day; it still aches every time I think of their smiling faces and their caring nature. But one thing I've learnt in the year that has passed is how to look after myself. I'm no longer the frightened girl who lost her parents to bloodthirsty killers, I am strong. I am capable. I am vengeful.
* * *
'There he is,' Kyra whispered beside me and I instantly became alert. My eyes scanned the darkness, and sure enough the figure we were stalking was only a few yards away, searching through a bin.
'What's he doing?' I whispered back, disgust colouring my tone.
'He's probably trying to find rats, or leftover bits of meat.'
'That's disgusting.'
'Yeah, but it's better than a live human right?'
She had a point.
'Come on,' she urged, crouching low and lurking towards the figure. I clutched the weapon tightly in my hand and began to follow her. I didn't dare make a noise, so as not to disturb the creature. One major disadvantage for us was their preternatural senses; it meant the slightest sound could inform it of our whereabouts. I was worried that it would be able to hear the frantic beating of my heart against my chest, but it kept its head hunched over the bin not paying us any attention.
Kyra angled her head towards me and nodded. I raised my arm with the weapon attached and slowly pulled the trigger. The arrow was fast, but the creature was faster.
Turning round at the last minute, it caught the arrow and let out a fierce snarl.
I told myself that no matter how normal he looked, he was far from it. His icy blue eyes flashed menacingly.
'That was a very stupid thing to do,' he started making his way towards us when something caused him to falter in his steps. His eyes bulged and he let out a choked gasp before he disintegrated into ash and fell to the floor.
Garrett was stood behind him, clutching a wooden stake.
'Impeccable timing,' I smiled.
He smiled back, a heartbreakingly handsome smile and I felt my heart flutter and a blush slowly creep up to my cheeks.
'Are you okay Liv? You're looking slightly...flushed,' Kyra's eyes were amused and her tone was mocking.
'Yeah I'm fine,' I laughed. 'Just...near death experiences do this to you.'
'We should get back to the others,' Garrett told us. 'They'll be wondering where we are.'
We followed him to a car parked nearby and piled inside. Kyra sat in the back and me in the front with Garrett. I became all too aware of how close I was to him, how our arms were inches apart. I could just shift slightly and I'd brush my skin against his...
He pulled his arm away and started the engine, completely oblivious to my thoughts. I sighed and turned my gaze to the night sky. I wasn't overly clear on when I'd started developing feelings for Garrett. He was just so...good to me after my parents death. He constantly checked on me, making sure I was okay and I wasn't feeling...suicidal. Oh believe me, I did at one point. That was an extremely low point of my life, he helped me through that as well. Then one day, I just saw him in a new light. From this new perspective, I saw him as handsome, caring, strong, capable. I fell for him.
But I know he'll never return my feelings. He's a good five years older than me for one, I'm just a child to him; he wouldn't take my feelings seriously. He'd laugh it off and joke about it with the others, thinking it was just a silly teenage crush. I heaved another long, heartfelt sigh and focussed on the bright white stars twinkling in the inky night sky without a care in the world. Oh how I envied them.

Bizzare power failure mode
Expand Messages
- After getting the tracker and AIO beacon all tweaked, I thought I'd let them all cook overnight to see what happened. I was running the tracker and it's GPS and transceiver off a small (apparently, too small) Gel-cell, which died about midnight (at least that's when the packets stopped getting logged). When I checked this morning, the DC from the (normally 12-v) battery was 7.6 v. I know that probably didn't do the battery any good, but I didn't expect the Tracker2 to be negatively influenced.
I was powering the tracker from the radio's mike jack which supplies a regulated 7.0 V. The Nuvi 350 was powered directly from the battery through it's ligher plug adapter. All was pinging happily when I went to bed. The output of the AIO was dialed down to where it was heard only by the tracker 2 which then digi'd it out to where it could be picked up by a nearby IGate.
This morning, the radio (Kenwood TM-742A) was clearly displeased with the 7.6 volts it was getting and expressed this displeasure by flickering the LEDs on the control panel. After I restored power to an acceptable level, the GPS and the radio came back to life and the T2 would digi packets just fine but it wouldn't connect back to the GPS.
From the COM port to the GPS, it put out what looked like the Garmin characters (to the extent I can tell what they are in the Terminal program) but the GPS wouldn't bite and establish a com link to the T2. I reset the GPS back to non-FMI mode and it wouldn't pick up on whatever was coming out of the T2 to go back into FMI mode.
I tried reloading the configuration which let me hook up the command port, but the wierdest thing was that the monitor messages (when the T2 would digipeat a packet) were completely garbled. I ended up reloading (and updating) the Tracker2's software and that seems to have fixed it because it's back to doing what it does best.
I don't know what the power looked like coming out of the mike jack when the radio was having spasms, but I'm sure it wasn't pretty, which is what I'm guessing scrambled the T2's brains enough to mess up the Com port messages. I suppose this is a hint that I should get one of those battery cut-off boxes that disconnects the battery once it goes below a certain voltage.

Pakistan floods response update
October 1, 2010
Since the onset of the flood-related emergency MSF has:
- Conducted 49,534 consultations through 6 hospitals, 7 mobile clinics and 7 Diarrhoea Treatment Centres,
- Treated over 1,748 malnourished children
- Distributed 1,250,400 litres of clean water per day, built 714 latrines
- Distributed a total of 57,714 relief item kits and 13,755 tents to 39,283 families
- 135 international staff are working alongside 1,198 Pakistani staff in MSF's existing and flood response programmes in Pakistan.
- MSF's current expenditure for the emergency response to the floods has reached about 5,8million Euro
- MSF's 2010 budget for normal operations in Pakistan is about 9,4million Euro
A quick overview of MSF's Emergency Flood Response
1. Sindh:
Presently the most severely flood affected areas are in central Sindh Province where the overflowing Manchar Lake has submerged vast areas with a second wave of flooding in recent weeks.
Along the banks of the Indus River, MSF teams still observe large areas of stagnant water, mostly in agricultural heartland of Sindh. Where water levels are slowly receding some displaced people have started moving closer to their places of origin. They have adopted a cautious "wait-and-see" approach. They are still faced with great uncertainty over their future – especially those who are considered to be the poorest of the poor who are tenant farmers with no way to repay debts to their landlords. An MSF psychologist engaged in an assessment in Jamshoro noted high levels of anxiety and depression among people living in the camps.
An MSF medical team has been working from Dadu, near Lake Manchar, as part of preparations to set up a new base in Johi – a town entirely isolated from the world by floodwaters and reachable only by boat.
Basic needs for medical care, clean water and shelter remain high while the number of malnourished children under five treated by MSF is increasing.
In Sukkur a growing number of malnourished children are treated in the Intensive Therapeutic Feeding Centre (ITFC) at the Railway Hospital. There have been 100 new admissions since its inception in late August. There are plans to expand the reach of nutritional programmes through an Ambulatory Therapeutic Feeding Centre (ATFC). Water and sanitation activities have also increased with the amount of water chlorinated and distributed daily now reaching 75,000 litres per day. There has been a general decrease in the number of patients treated for Acute Watery Diarrhoea at the Sukkur Diarrhoea Treatment Centre, which is in line with a decrease in the number of patients treated for diarrhoea in other projects.
In Larkana MSF teams are still providing ITFC and DTC services. Relief item distributions in both Sukkur and Larkana have increased, with a total of 1,709 kits and 668 tents having been distributed so far.
Further south, in Jamshoro, MSF medics have conducted just over 4,000 consultations through mobile clinics in recent weeks, while 6,683 relief item kits have been distributed. Teams are also now running two 20-bed capacity DTCs in Shahbaz camp, Jamshoro, and at the Sehwan Hospital, about 100km to the north. On average MSF water and sanitation teams distribute 300,000 litres of safe drinking water per day in 11 places in Jamshoro.
View from the field:
MSF Emergency Coordinator Rosa Crestani recently returned from an exploratory assessment to the still severely flood-affected Dadu district. Investigating conditions and accompanying an MSF team conducting a helicopter assessment, this is what she saw:
"There are still houses that are totally isolated by the water. Weeks after the initial floods people still have no access to healthcare. Two weeks ago, the Manchar Lake was in danger of bursting, threatening nearby towns. So it was drained – severely affecting some villages which have now become islands.
In some villages there are hand pumps and water is available, but we need to check if it's sufficient and clean. The main access road has been washed away and the only way to bring relief supplies in is by boat. Working with boats is difficult but MSF have done it before."
2. Balochistan:
The knock-on impact of the floods is still felt strongly in Dera Murad Jamali (DMJ) where there is reverse flow of people back towards their homes in Jacobabad and Jafarabad transiting in Dera Allah Yar. Consequently MSF's water and sanitation services and relief item distributions are being stepped up with efforts shifting towards the Dera Allah Yar area.
MSF teams here are also observing an increased number of malnourished children in our programmes since the onset of the floods. There have been 130 new admissions to MSF's mobile therapeutic feeding programmes during week 38, as compared to the 95 admissions in the previous week.
A total of 432 patients still remain under treatment, but MSF medics are expecting the number of treatment defaulters to increase because more people are moving closer to their villages making follow-ups difficult. More than a third a of the 38 young patients suffering from severe acute malnutrition remaining in the ITFC programme, were admitted because they were also suffering from medical complications, making their cases difficult to manage.
Word from the field:
"As news spreads of the water receding we have seen a substantial influx of people to the camp in Dera Allah Yar. Over a period of three days we saw a nearly 30 percent rise in the camp population, and there are now nearly 1,000 families living there. This is a mix of people who have been resident there since the floods and those transiting, on their way back to what is left of their lands and homes. There are about 800 families living beside the road or close to their submerged land waiting for the water to recede. In Sohbatpur we have distributed 400 relief item kits to families living along a 25km stretch of road. MSF teams are assessing the situation in the camps daily to adjust the provision of clean water to people's growing needs." – Mike Seawright, MSF Project Coordinator for the emergency response in Dera Murad Jamali.
3. Punjab:
MSF is winding up its flood response operations in Kot Addu and many displaced people have started to make their way back home to rebuild their shattered lives. A total of 3,385 patients have received consultations from MSF medics since 21 August.
At the Muzaffargarh district hospital during the height of the emergency MSF operated a 70-bed capacity DTC, with nearly half of all the triaged cases treated for AWD. During the last 14 days the number of patients presenting with AWD has decreased measurably, currently only 10% of the cases represent people with AWD. MSF teams have made good in their plans and distributed 3,050 relief item kits and 1,824 tents in Kot Addu.
Word from the field:
"We observe that the majority of displaced people have started returning home. In the villages where the water stood at about 1m deep, the water level has gone down and some families have been able to start rebuilding their homes. Meanwhile, our screening activities for malnutrition among children younger than five years have indicated that less than two percent of children here are in fact severely and acutely malnourished. We have decided to return in about six weeks to do another round of MUAC screenings to determine if there is a need to further treat malnutrition." – Jean Hereu, MSF Emergency Coordinator for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.
4. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
MSF operations in the north-western region of Pakistan in this part of the country report that life is still slowly returning to normal as the water has receded and people are returning to their homes.
MSF's emergency interventions have been concluded in Charsadda, while in Nowshera MSF teams have handed over water and sanitation activities to other implementers who have started working there. Since the onset of the floods MSF medical teams conducted 4,599 consultations in Peshawar, 8,998 consultations in Nowshera and while in Charsadda a total of 12,384 consultations were conducted. MSF teams conducted aid distributions in Charsadda (604 tents and 16,523 relief item kits) Peshawar (6,324 tents and 8,575 relief item kits) and Nowshera (11,147 tents and 3,210 relief item kits).
Word from the field:
"We have had the electricity supply restored for more than three weeks now, and with that the regular supply of clean water. MSF has started health promotion activities which vitally backed up by the distribution of relief kits containing hygiene items. The remaining evidence of the floods here is sediments of higher than 1 meter that are still being removed from peoples' homes." – Josep Prior Tio, MSF project coordinator Swat.

Worsham Canyon Loop in the Puente Hills
This is one of the more challenging and enjoyable hikes in the Puente Hills. There's very little shade, however, so make sure you bring your sun block and a hat. On a clear day, you can expect to see the ocean, downtown Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Mountains, and perhaps even San Jacinto and San Gorgonio. You're also pretty much guaranteed good views of Baldy and the San Gabriels. The trails are not marked, but they are easy to follow, so if you print out the Habitat Authority's map, you shouldn't have a problem.
From the small parking area, climb over the metal fence, or walk up the steep slope to the Elderberry Trail, a fire road that quickly ascends. After gaining 270 feet in less than a mile, you arrive at a junction. Take the left route, which continues to climb uphill (right is your return). The ascent continues, not quite as steep but still steady, and soon you arrive at the Juan Bautista trail. Head right (left takes you back to Turnbull Canyon Road). Note that two other trails branch off here: one that goes to base of the power line support structure, which makes a nice detour for some good viewing, and another which dead-ends almost immediately.
Head south on the Bautista Trail, along a ridge, with good vistas of the Inland Empire on the left and L.A. on the right. At half a mile, shortly after passing some more power structures, look for an unsigned single-track trail heading sharply to the right, descending into a canyon. This is the Worsham Canyon Trail. As you wind your way down into the canyon, you may be pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is. This is also where you get the only shade on the route. At about a mile and a half, the trail starts to head east again, and it climbs up a moderate grade to return to the first junction. Retrace your steps on the Elderberry Trail downhill to the parking area.

Digital Restrictions: FSF Campaign to Free Kindle Software
The Free Software Foundation started an online campaign in the Amazon forum to free the Kindle code. Supporters already number more than 650.
News came out mid-July that Amazon for the Kindle e-book reader erased certain books that were already bought from its customer accounts. The reason they gave was copyrights. Ironically the books pulled were George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm. The Free Software Foundation subsequently initiated a campaign on its Defectivebydesign.org project page for customers to vent their anger, with numerous readers responding.
The FSF counted more than 650 one-star reviews (the lowest rating) on Amazon's Kindle page based on their campaign. On July 22, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos issued an apology in response: "Our 'solution' to the problem was stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles."
The FSF wants to go further, though. The software activists intend to use their open campaign to achieve free availability of the Kindle e-book reader software. The foundation urges Kindle customers to continue the one-star review campaign and letters to the Amazon chief to urge him to make the Kindle code openly available.
According to the activists this is the third time Kindle customers have felt the Orwellian hand on their devices. In June, Amazon had retracted Ayn Rand's books and before that, deactivated text-to-speech for certain titles. FSF's Peter Brown prefers to use the definition "digital restrictions management" instead of digital rights management for the term DRM: "The real issue here is Amazon's use of DRM and proprietary software. They have unacceptable power over users, and actual respect necessitates more than an apology -- it requires abandoning DRM and releasing the Kindle's software as free software."

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 20, 1987, New Braunfels, Texas Opinions Daw Kramer. Editor Hid Publisher Jim Wabn. Managing Editor Pege4A Herald-Zeitung, New Braunfels, Texas Friday, February 20,1087 Other Views Thinking about an income tax This takes the layer cake. A Texas politician has gone on record, in a public meeting, as saying that the state may need — may need, mind you — to think about an income tax. And, surprising as it may seem, the other politicians in the room didn't get up and run for their lives. This is unheard of. It is flirting with the millennium ... It may not happen twice in a lifetime. State Comptroller Bob Bullock told Senate budget writers recently that, although he's personally opposed to an income tax, "you might as well talk about it, you might as well think about it.'' That the senators didn't flee is a clue to the plight the state is in right now.... Texas is now in the desperate position of having to consider all the options — however disagreeable those options might be. Corpus Christi Caller War on crime Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis at last has recognized that a successful war on crime has a price tag. Lewis also believes Texans are willing to pay the price, even if it means more taxes. Lewis has introduced an anti-crime package that would tighten the liberal parole provisions and make felons serve more of their sentences. We urge South Texans to tell their legislators to vote for the Lewis bills. It is time to get serious and to pay for keeping killers and rapists behind bars. San Antonio Expross-Nows Campaigns cost too many millions Enough now has been said and written about Texas Sen. Lloyd Benison inviting lobyists to breakfast in return for $10,000 contributions to his campaign fund. Anyone who wonders why officeholders play patsy with lobbyists need only consider costs of campaigning vs. salaries, even with the most recent increases. Election reform is often discussed, such as limits on total expenditures. free television time, public financing. But there hasn't yet been a better way proposed. Surely there must be some way to corral campaign costs. It s time to seriously consider the changes in campaigning or in financing those campaigns. Otherwise, there will always be some form of breakfast clubs in which legislators and lobbyists exchange information and dollars. ■I Ease Times Bounty boondoggle It s hard to slip anything past Brazos County officials, yes. indeed. The county has been paying $7.50 bounties to hunters who bring in wolf ears as proof they killed one of the predators So far this year, the coun ty has paid $225 for 30 sets of wolf ears. The problem is, there are no wolves in Brazos County. There are few wolves, for that matter, anywhere in Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has now informed the county about the wolf situation, so the county has decided to stop paying the bounty. So what has the county been paying for? The aural appendages of wild dogs or the common coyote? If the county is shopping for a bridge, there's a nice on available in Brooklyn. Pert Arthur News Toxic threaf from trucks Just because Texas has been spared a major disaster involving toxic materials doesn't mean its luck will hold out forever. The deficiencies (in the law), which are pointed out in a report by the House Transportation Committee, demand the prompt attention of lawmakers. The first thing that officials should do is get a better fix on the problem by requiring accidents involving toxic materials to be reported to a central agency, such as the Department of Public Safety. Next, Texas should tighten its standards for anyone who hauls hazardous substances. Another of the Transportation Committee's sound suggestions is to make sure that emergency personnel are properly trained to respond to toxic spills and similar accidents. Finally, the state has to clamp down even harder on unsafe trucks. Tens of millions of motorists must use the same Texas highways that the haulers of dangerous materials do. Dallas Merit toe News Justice for victims A 28-year-old rape victim testified before the Criminal Justice Committee of the Texas Senate that victims and local officers should be notified when convicts who have committed repeat violent crimes are released from prison. The committee answered her plea by giving unanimous approval to a bill which would require prison officials to do Just that. The victim was protesting the release of the "choker rapist'' who was paroled after serving only eight years of a 123-year sentence assessed in Waco after the trial was moved here from Austin. The rapist is back in Jail in Houston in connection with more attacks on women that occurred after his parole. Texas already has a law which requires victims to be notified when a dangerous offender is released, but it went into effect after the Austin rapist was released. More legislation is unlikely to replace the common sense that should be used by all officials who deal with the release of prisoners. wacs Tribune Herald Your Representatives Gov.

The new openness, wow." [Mike Royko get the picture? Not at this price We were looking for something to fill a blank space on the living room wall, which is how I found myself standing uncomfortably in an art gallery on a recent Saturday afteroon. Art galleries are not my usual hangouts because, and I'm not embarrassed to admit it, I have little appreciation of visual art. Some people are tone deaf. To them, Beethoven's music sound's like a construction crew at work. That's the way I am with paintings, my only reaction to the Mona Lisa is the thought that if she went into a singles bar. she'd spend the entire evening buying her own drinks. When I visited the Sistine Chapel, I looked at the ceiling and thought: "Boy. laying in that scaffold. I bet he got a stiff neck and a lot of paint in his eyes." But. as I said, we have this empty space on the wall. And the female person who shares the Iv-ing room said that we had to find something to hang there. I suggested a calendar, the kind that has a different picture for every month. But she said that the smart set doesn't hang calendars on the living room wall. She also rejected the suggestion that we put up a shelf and display my collection of old saloon-league softball trophies. She said they're not chic. That's one of the things that confuses me about art. Recently, a famous artist made the cover of Time magazine when it was revealed that he had spent many years drawing his cleaning lady while she was naked. That is considered chic. But I ask you, would you rather be known for Andy Rooney persuading your cleaning lady to remove her skivvies or for hitting a home run to defeat Wally & Helen's Tavern? Anyway, that's how I found myself in this art gallery trying to blend in with the yuppies by cocking my head to one side, grasping my chin with my thumb and forefinger, peering at a painting and mumbling: "Hmmmm, interesting." My act must have been convicing, because a woman who sold the paintings veered toward me us and said: "Do you like that?" "Yes," I said, and it was almost true. The painting appeared to be a long thin, multicolored bird, and it wasn't bad. Actually, if a bird that looked like that ever flew overhead, I'd probably dive under a porch. But at least I thought I knew what it was, which is the first step in art appreciation. Even more important, it seemed to be Just the correct size to cover the blank space on the living room wall, which is the second step in art appreciation. The gallery lady said: "And one of the nice things about this is that you can hang it this way or that way." And to demonstrate, she turned it so that it was hanging sideways. Then she turned it again, so it was upside down. Or maybe it was right side up. "You see?" she asked. That's why I'm embarrassed by my ignorance of art. If I decided to put a picture of my Uncle Chester on the wall, I wouldn't think of hanging it upside down. In his prime, Uncle Chester wasn't much to look at. but the sight of him with his mouth above his eyes would turn a child's hair white. Still faking it, I told the gallery lady: "Ah, very interesting. Either a diving or a soaring effect, hey?" Then she told me about the artist, a South , American lady who paints in New York and has been commissioned to do some posters. From her tone, I gathered that doing the posters was significant, although I don't know why. I've seen posters in Chicago that say "Elect Albert Al' Zbygniewski Alderman. He Hates Crooks," and I wouldn't want them in my living room. Maybe the garage, though. She also told how the South American lady worked. "She says she Just gets up in the morning, throws the paint on the canvas, and shifts it around until she gets the effect she wants." My grandfather was a house painter, and if he had taken that approach, my grandmother would have wound up as a bag lady.. "It's reduced during our sell," the gallery lady said. Then she peered around the side of Ute frame, where they had stashed the price tag. "Ifs reduced 40 percent." she said. "So you can have it for $4,800." "Ahhh," I said. Or maybe it was more like "huhhhh?" The fact is, it wasn't a bad deal, considering that I could point the bird in any direction, up, down, north or south. In an earthquake, it would always look good. But I told we would have to think about it and would drop back sometime. We probably won't, though- Next Saturday. I'm going to browse around some calendar stores. Mr. Rooney goos to tho dogs There is no doubt in my mind that dogs have more good qualities and fewer bad qualities than people. They behave in an honorable way without the benefit or religion, too. My high opinion of dogs in general was reenforced the other night by my annual visit to the Westminster Dog Show. There were 129 different breeds at the show and, backstage with the owners and trainers. I must have talked to IOO doge of 50 different breeds. There were only three dogs I hesitated to reach out and pat without asking for the advice or permission of their owners first. They were (I) a mean-looking Doberman Pinscher whose owner said he was a pussy cat. (2) a huge red chow, known officially as a "Chow Chow," and (3) an alert German Shepherd sitting at attention In his stall with a superior look on his face. Tho owners assured me it was all right to touch their dogs- The Doberman's master said, "You can pet him, but Just don't move your hand toward him too quickly." I took his word for it that I could touch his dog, but any time someone has to qualify how it is I can touch their dog. I don't touch it. I didn't pat the Chow either because I didn't want to encourage the owner to think people like Chows, but I did become acquainted with the Gorman Shepherd, whose owner I offended when I called Mm a "police dog." The German Shepherd turned out to be cold to advances but net aggressively unfriendly. He could take me or leave me. There were some wonderful surprises among I know little about. Tho Rottweilers, big. strong, short-haired, brown and black dogs, were very friendly in a big, rough way. I like rough, friendly dogs better than itsy-bitsy, fragile, nervous little dogs, although some small breeds that are relatively new to me like the Lhasa Apses and the Shih Tzu seem nice. One woman who weighed about RS pounds was showing three Mastiffs which weighed about IOO pounds each. They were simply great. Every time I go to this dog show, there are at least IO dogs I walt to take home. Now, for instance, I want a Mastiff. "We never bother to lock our house" the woman said and looking at these huge, fierce-looking dogs. I could see why. I don't like guard dogs and the only reason these mastiffs would make good guard dogs is their appearance. I sat down with them, a total stranger, in their pen. I put my hand on the head of the big brown one lying on my right and immediately, the gray one behind me put his huge head over my shoulder and licked my face. Some guard dog! At that point, the one at my side turned over on his side and plopped his 20-pound head in my lap. They are magnificent animals and all I could think was that the American Kennel Club is doing a great Job encouraging the breeding of all these relatively rare dogs that might otherwise become extinct. Like sailors, golfers or horse-lovers, dog people have one-track minds but ifs a good track to be on. The winner of Best Of Show that night was a German Shepherd named Manhattan. Ifs the fir* tim* A German Sheoherd has ever won and one woman who breeds German Shephers expressed delight, with some reservations. She said the trouble with a breed becoming too popular is a lot of people who don't know or care much about dogs start breeding and selling them for money without much regard to whether they are good examples of the breed or not and, as a result, the breed deteriorates. You couldn't make that comment about humans. In the dog world, it's acceptable to be a racist. Breeders admit some breeds have both good and bad traiU other breeds don't have. All dogs are not bom equal. I talked with a woman who has a Pit Bull, that tough, pink-eyed dog originally bred for that disgusting and most uncivilized "sport" of all, dog fighting. The Pit Bull, called an "American Staffordshire Terrier" at dog shows, has a reputation of being good around people but death to other dogs- They are, therefore, difficult to have as pets. The woman said her dog did not fight and breeders of Pit Bulls everywhere were trying to eliminate the fighting trait, along with the name "Pit Bull," from the breed. I wish they could breed a little of the Maetiff's disposition into the Chow and the Doberman Pinscher People tend to like any breed of dog they've known. That says something nice about dogs aa a quartes. I grew up with an English Bulldog named Spike and our four children grew up with another named Gifford and, like moot dog lovers, I argue with anyone who soys English Sundaes aren't the best doss in the whole world. ;

Armstrong cloud lingers over world championships
By Steve Keating
RICHMOND, Virginia (Reuters) - International Cycling Union chief Brian Cookson would not say his name but Lance Armstrong and a rogues' gallery of disgraced cyclists remained on the lips of many at the cycling world championships.
Back on U.S. roads for the first time since 1986, the week-long event attracted nearly a half million flag-waving, cowbell clanging spectators and helped pour $128 million into the local economy by the time it ended on Sunday.
But despite the bright numbers, dark clouds from a decade of scandals still hang over the sport, particularly in the United States where Armstrong and fellow drug cheats and Americans Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton and George Hincapie punctured cycling's popularity.
"Because of Lance we have been at the center of that negativity and now we have this amazing event we are pulling off very well," USA Cycling chief executive Derek Bouchard-Hall told Reuters. "In the global cycling community it is a very helpful event to have at this time to get back on a positive side.
"The sport remains immensely popular and that is because the fans have been tolerant.
"They are pissed off and they are upset but they are out there still watching, still participating they just
want to see it better.
"What is interesting is that no matter how much we have disappointed the fans they still come back. It is amazing it has endured even though it was derailed from that growth trajectory it had for awhile." Continued...

Mable Haardt Cottage, former home of ROBERT DAVIS. When Seaside was first created by Robert Davis, there were only five original houses in all of Seaside. This cottage on 34 Tupelo Street was the home of Seaside founder Robert Davis and now is called THE MABEL HAARDT COTTAGE. Now, the city is fully developed, but back in the early 1980's the city of Seaside was but a fertile seed of Mr. Davis' unique and expansive imagination.
"The Yellow House is one of the first two Seaside Cottages. It served both as the initial residence of Robert and Daryl Davis and as a model home for prospective buyers.
The house is based on prototypes from northwest Florida of which the architect, Robert Davis, had sketches and photographs. The design highlights the pitch and form of the roof which is gabled in the center with a surrounding hip roof covering the porch. The porch faces south to capture the prevailing south-southeast breezes and contributes to the passive solar design of the house by shading it in the summer when the sun is high and allowing the window glass to collect heat in the winter when the sun is low.
The initial concept promoted a large interior living space wrapped by a porch, and over time the porch was filled in as small spaces were enclosed. As gas stoves gained popularity over wood stoves, the kitchen was moved inside, and the same was true of plumbing to accommodate a flush toilet and septic tank. A small bedroom was partitioned off, and the porch is still used to accommodate guests. When originally built, a return air grill at the top of the ceiling allowed for fans to carry the warm air from the central space to the periphery to heat the partitioned spaces."
When you stay in the Mabel Haardt cottage you will be experiencing some of Seaside, Florida's earliest history. This house, only a minute to the beach and a 5 minute walk into the center of town. This two bedroom, two bath cottage is all on one level except for the loft. There is a king bedroom and private bath (tub only) and a double bedroom with a hall bath with shower and side exit. There is also a loft, with a twin bed, overlooking the living room, dining, and kitchen areas. There is a screened, wrap around porch complete with porch swing and rockers.
Living Room: extra long couch and 2rockers, Flatscreen TV/DVD, ceiling fan
/dining table with seating for four
Breakfast bar seats four
Kitchen: (first floor) fully equipped kitchen, wood floors, two ceiling fans, gas Wolf Duel Fuel 6 burner range
Master Bedroom: king-size bed, ceiling fan, adjoins to large connecting bath with tub (no shower) and double vanity sink, bedroom and bath adjoining to back deck
Guest Bedroom: queen bed, wood floors, ceiling fan, hall bath with shower only (dual shower head), adjoins to the front of the wraparound porch, Flatscreen TV with cable
Loft: twin-size bed
Day Bed: twin-size built-in between kitchen areas
My grandmother, Mabel Haardt, purchased this house for me in 1992, when I was only 3 years old. She maintained until her death in 2003. Now I manage it with my mother Anton Haardt. I live in Charleston, South Carolina and visit my cottage often with a hands-on personal interest.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 1992
We both had the best New Year's weekend ever. We love your house. We will return to Birmingham relaxed, rested and ready for a healthy and happy 2004.
After looking at a number of properties in Seaside on Homeaway we rented the Mabel Haardt Cottage for Spring Break this year because of its proximity to the beach and the town of Seaside. The location of the cottage did not disappoint, but was overshadowed by our difficulties during our stay. We flew there from Philadelphia and had to contact the owner the day before our flight to learn how to check in. The cottage was charming with so much potential, but it needs a lot of maintenance work. The owner has made some upgrades, most notably a new couch, Wolf gas range and linens, but many aspects of the house need repaired/replaced. For example, the clawfoot bathtub in the master bathroom appeared to leak (it had a full pan of water under it when we arrived), one sink had only hot water and one had only cold water, many of the window shutters were broken and could not be closed for privacy, and exterior gates were hanging off their hinges. The concierge company seemed disorganized (they did not even call to give us check in information until the 4th day of our vacation.) However, none of these things would have prompted us to write a one star review. What did prompt us to write such a review was that one night we were awakened by a loud scraping sound of what we later learned was a rat trying to escape from the owner's storage closet in our master bathroom. The next day we called the owner and the concierge service and were assured that this problem had never happened before and that a pest company would be sent over. The exterminator came but had to come back at the end of the day because the owner didn't initially agree to authorize extermination services. When the exterminator opened the trap door to the attic to look around a significant amount of rat feces fell out. The exterminator baited traps and caught a rat. I texted the owner to let him know that the exterminator had caught a rat and was going to rebait the traps in case there were more. I never even heard back from the owner, nor did he offer in any way to reimburse us for any part of our stay given what had happened. As we had nowhere else to stay and did not have a flight back to Philadelphia for several more days we stayed at the cottage for the remainder of the week, but we would never return or recommend this property to others. A quaint cottage that, in our opinion, is poorly maintained and managed.
I will be bringing the Family to Seaside for our fourth stay at Mabel Haardt Cottage in as many years. For My Family, there is no other place to stay. It has become our "Home Away From Home" in Seaside. What you will find at Mabel Haardt is a beautiful and spacious, cottage that has the old world feel reflective of its history yet with all the modern conveniences where it counts. If you are one who likes to cook while on vacation, this kitchen with its Viking Range will not disappoint. The spaciousness and layout of this cottage are perfect for a family with children or couples that are traveling together. I cannot say enough good things about his cottage and its owner. If we have ever had an issue and the concierge was not immediately available, the owner was just a text message away. Any request that we have ever made has always been fulfilled in what I consider a very timely fashion. It has been a delightful experience every time. There have even been suggestions that I have made to the owner of things that could possibly be improved upon, and trust me there are not many. However, whatever reasonable suggestion I have made, the owner has always promptly fulfilled my request and has even gone as far as to update me after I have left. In fact the owner has even updated me in the middle of the year of improvements that have been made in anticipation of our return. What other accommodation do you receive that kind of personal service. This owner is not just about collecting the rent. He is about pleasing the guests and ensuring repeat business. He aims to please. As I have mentioned before, he has been successful in guaranteeing that we will not stay elsewhere when we visit. I think one of the highlights of this property is the prime location. It sits on Tupelo Street, which is one of the first streets as you enter Seaside, just steps away from 30A and what I consider to be the best Beach Pavilion in the area. Of course the convenience to the center of town and everything else imaginable are huge selling points for my family. Whether you are traveling with small children, teenagers etc, it just works. Travelers will not regret the experience they have when staying at this property in Seaside. This trip is a standing agenda item on my family's yearly calendar. Consistency and knowing what you are getting are big deals to me when I travel. I never have an issue with those two concerns when I travel to Mabel Haardt Cottage.
The description is perfect. This cottage was built by the developer of Seaside, and was one of the original model homes. The convenience to the beach and to Town Center is hard to beat. However, the house could use some updating. There is very little overhead lighting and few lamps -- so night time makes the cottage dark, and it is even worse if the weather turns cloudy/stormy.
There is only one indoor shower (which was disclosed), but the outdoor shower is not really usable as a "shower" -- it would work fine to rinse off from the beach.
The bikes provided all had flat tires.
I think the real complaint lies with the company that the owners use to rent the house -- Swan Tree 30A. I would go out of my way to make sure I NEVER rent a house that is managed by this company. we were NEVER provided our wrist bands that allowed us access to the beach by this company (which in Seaside is how the beach access is managed). Repeated calls to the management company went unreturned; when I finally reached a live person, he told me to contact the owner. I did that, and to their credit, the owner replied that she would check on the status -- and then never got back in touch to see if anything had been done.
Having rented in the area many times, this was the worst experience we have ever had -- but I blame the management company more than the property. in the future, I will call more reputable management companies directly (Vacation Owners, Cottage Rental 30A) rather than run the risk of doing business with Swan Tree again.
What an amazing weekend we have just had at the Mabel Haardt Cottage in Seaside. I have to say I was a little wary to book this cottage, as there had been some mixed reviews. However, the cottage and its owner exceeded our expectations. I am curious if the outraged reviewer even stayed in the same cottage, or perhaps was fishing for a discounted rate? Regardless, we did not encounter ANY of the problems that were mentioned. Before our arrival, we were contacted by the owner to arrange arrival meeting times with the concierge service, he was very helpful and even gave his personal cell incase we encountered any problems checking in and suggested a great lunch spot nearby. We arrived to a charming, clean beach cottage with modern amenities and furnishings. Even better, the cottage is a stones throw from the beach. We prefer to cook on our family vaca's and were able to with pleasure, in what seemed like a true chef's kitchen. The screened in porch offered the perfect dining experience, we could even hear the ocean as we ate! The owner provided bikes, and we spent countless each afternoon cruising around this historic neighborhood. We really did feel at home in this beach house and have already booked to come back at the end of the summer!
This home is convenient to the beach and downtown Seaside. It is charming and was plenty spacious for my family of four. Very nice kitchen appliances and cookware. There was an abundance of nice hotel quality towels. We enjoyed the available sand toys, boogie boards, and bicycles. It was a very home-like environment but the cottage needs a deep cleaning and some routine maintenance. I didn't receive any check-in information from the property management/concierge service till we were already en route (16 hour car ride for us). It would have been nice to have received this info. and details prior to packing our bags and departing from home. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Seaside and at the Mabel Haardt Cottage but I would prefer a cleaner facility with a few upgrades before staying here again.
I stayed at the sweetheart home about a year ago for the first time. I noticed there were a couple of updates that would have really improved the place, but really enjoyed it despite that. The owner asked if there was anything I would suggest he do to better the home for guests. I thought this was incredibly attentive of him. I returned to the home in January, and am happy to report that there was a new couch, new porch swing and the owner had purchased bicycles for guests to use which saved me money on weekly rentals. I look forward to returning here with friends in the fall. I highly recommend staying here. The beach is two doors down. If you don't feel like getting sandy again at sunset you can sit in the Adirondack chairs to watch the beautiful sunsets. There's a Blueheron who frequents the beach here and has been in the forefront of many of my sunset pictures. You can walk or bike everywhere such an incredible spot! Many evenings we would just sit on our front porch and have wine and snacks it was such a nice homey place to be I look forward to my next trip to Sweethaardt!

Mitt Romney had one tough night. On Saturday, the GOP presidential candidate was all set to take in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Richmond International Raceway and say "Drivers! Start your engines!" but the weather decided not to cooperate.
Of course, Romney's last go round at the racetrack didn't exactly go as planned either. Asked in February if he was a NASCAR fan Romney replied in a way that no other NASCAR fan would reply:
"Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans, but I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners."
Saturday, he gave out hotdogs under a tent, engaged in small talk and asked for votes ("Georgia! That's a good state. Tell your friends to get out and vote.")
And while he posed for photos with two drivers, Paul Menard and Jeff Burton, he later couldn't quite name a driver he actually liked.
"There's a lot of drivers I like," he said, climbing into his SUV.
But from there it got worse.
Romney and his traveling news corps were all set to take off for Boston, but as luck would have it, Romney's campaign plane had mechanical problems. After about three hours of waiting on the tarmac in Richmond (Romney spent some time on his iPhone, aides said), Romney and his traveling news corps secured a new plane and finally took off for Boston. At 2:31 a.m. Romney finally made it to his Belmont home with his tough day and night behind him.

The third sister in the Tao family, Ailin is not quite five years old in 1911, a time of transformation in China, when Western philosophies are creating a wave of revolutions and the empire is crumbling. More spirited than her older sisters, Ailin rebels against the torturous age-old tradition of binding girls' feet. When the family of her intended husband breaks the marriage agreement because her feet are not bound, Ailin feels no remorse. But as she enters adolescence, her family is no longer willing to support her. She realizes for the first time just how powerless a girl of good family with no prospect of marriage is in Chinese society.
Ailin has no intention of following that society's traditions. Not only can she read and write Chinese, but she also learns English and seeks a way to make her own living. When she is offered an opportunity that shocks her already estranged family, Ailin faces a decision that may further alienate her from her familial duty and from her country.
Lensey Namioka has written an unforgettable saga of a girl who defies the ancient traditions of her class and heritage, emerging at last as a young woman with an indomitable spirit.

While the social media and entertainment news audience obsesses with TeeBillz's 'edible catering' and the two children he sired outside wedlock before he met Tiwa, hardly anyone knows that he has a third child, Ona, by a highly placed society woman in Nigeria. Her name is Dr. Vivian Oputa. A medical practitioner and specialist in aesthetic medicine, surgery and dermatology, is the medical director of DermaCare Medical Ltd. and Clinical Director of the Clover Medical Company Beverly Hills, United States of America (USA).
The 50 something years old plastic surgeon is the mother of Tunji a.k.a TeeBillz's third child and as you read, this is the first time news of their affair and lovechild would make it into the public sphere. All along they had been struggling to conceal it. Dr. Vivian is well known and loved in high society circuits.
In another sad development, TeeBillz was sent packing with his few personal effects from the home of R&B music star, Bankole Wellington a.k.a Banky W. It would be recalled that Banky W offered TeeBillz refuge soon after he allegedly rescued him from committing suicide on the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge.
However, in a radical twist to the unfolding saga, Banky W's mother allegedly called her son and ordered him to eject TeeBillz from his apartment soon after watching his estranged wife, Tiwa Savage's interview.
We gathered that Banky W's mother told her son pointblank that he should ask TeeBillz to leave his apartment after the woman watched Tiwa's teary revelations about her marriage with him in an interview. Tunji vacated the apartment immediately with his paraphernalia flung after him.

National Express
The claim
National Express won the bidding in 2007 for the franchise to run the East Coast rail line. Last year, they realised that they had overbid, and wanted to buy themselves out of the contract. Stephen Byers claimed that he had secretly brokered a deal with the Transport Secretary, Lord Adonis, under which the company would be severely criticised in public, but on the quiet it would be let off lightly.
The denial
To some people's surprise, it emerged that Mr Byers' claim that he had lobbied Lord Adonis was true. This is odd because Mr Byers followed his original boast with a statement in which he effectively called himself a liar and said he had "never" lobbied ministers on behalf of commercial interests. It was Lord Adonis who volunteered the information that Mr Byers had lobbied him in the Commons in June, but insisted that it was "pure fantasy" that this conversation led to National Express eventually being let off the hook. He said he had told Mr Byers that he had "no intention" of treating the company differently.
The facts suggest Lord Adonis was as good as his word. The company's chairman, John Devaney, was prepared to pay between £100m and £150m to escape the East Coast franchise, because he was anxious to hold on to the franchises on the profitable East Anglia and CC lines. Lord Adonis made the company pay slightly less to break the contract – £72m – but it will lose both other franchises in 2011, a harsher penalty all round.
The claim
Tesco's corporate affairs director, Lucy Neville-Rolfe, approached Mr Byers, concerned about a change to food labelling being proposed by the Environment Secretary, Hilary Benn. Rather than approach Mr Benn directly, Mr Byers went to his own close friend, the Business Secretary, Peter Mandelson, and told him of Mr Benn's plan which would be a "huge nightmare in every supermarket". As a result, Lord Mandelson intervened and the plan was delayed and then emended.
The denial
All three main players – including now Mr Byers – deny any lobbying took place. Tesco said it had never employed Mr Byers and described his account as "completely fictitious". Having at first said he had no "recollection" of a conversation, Lord Mandelson later stated that he definitely did not speak to Mr Byers, who also changed his mind and said he had fabricated his account.
The Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said yesterday: "We do not consider our policies to have been affected by lobbying by MPs." What about government ministers? "You can't expect me to go into detail about what goes on at Cabinet level and Lord Mandelson has made a statement about this subject," said a spokeswoman. Mr Benn had not proposed any food labelling legislation since he took charge at Defra, she claimed. However last January he told The Independent he would lobby in Europe to introduce compulsory labelling of the origin of meat in processed products such as pies.
In January, Defra announced a deal with grocers to label the origin of pork in products. In the meantime, last July Britain secretly opposed a French bid to force EU manufacturers to state the country of origin of milk, cheese, meat and other non-processed foods. Defra said yesterday that shoppers did not want or expect compulsory country of origin labelling on cheese and meat, which it said would be a burden on business. Did the Business Secretary intervene in this decision?
