NBC's John Madden made an interesting disclosure moments ago during coverage of the Colts-Chargers game.
Per Madden, San Diego's defense used a lot of hand signals when the two teams last met in November 2008. But Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera believed that Manning "had their signals."
This time around, the Chargers are relying upon the radio system, which debuted this season.
But, wait. If the Colts had the Chargers' signals, would that mean that the Colts were cheating?
It depends on how the Colts got them. If Indy's advance scouts used a pencil and paper to crack the code, it's fair game. But if they videotaped the signals, then it's cheating.
Either way, the Colts have the same advantage (allegedly) that the Patriots got from their system of videotaping defensive signals.
Cue the Patriots haters, who'll accuse us of being Patriots apologists.
And cue the Patriots apologists. We could use your help in the comments.

"believed" that Manning had their signals is a far cry from knowing that he had their signals or investigation revealed that Manning had their signals…

I thought this was going to be a sound violation posting. Since they've done that unpunished for 10 years.
Mistress Rachael says: Jan 3, 2009 8:39 PM
Stealing signals is a part of sports. Been going on forever, so shame on SD for not changing up every quarter.
Spygate …was alot of rubbish, still is rubbish. You cannot diagnose [ same game] signals from a video, esp w/technicians who are non football people….It's each teams responsibility to disguise signals and change indicators often
Seems as if spygate was created by those who could not beat NE on the field
TheBigOldDog says: Jan 3, 2009 8:39 PM
Now that you got all the mileage you can out of the story you admit the obvious truth. Mighty big of you Florio.

Even if the Colts got red-handed with videotape, the league wouldn't penalize them since they love them.

All teams cheat. I didn't care when the Patriots got caught, I wont care when/if the Colts get caught. There's so much cheating in this league, if you have a serious problem with it you might as well stop watching.
PatsBackAgain says: Jan 3, 2009 8:52 PM
The colt's mike'd in sound in the old hoosier down.
They were even caught(listen to Colts/NE Nov 06′ game).
Then again, Polian would never do such a thing, would he.

you know as much about football as my left ass cheak florio!
Tim says: Jan 3, 2009 8:54 PM
They all cheat. It really comes down to not getting caught.
San Diego has to have some of the best looking cheerleaders I have ever seen. WOW!
Burritto says: Jan 3, 2009 8:57 PM
Wow. A little bit of knowledge truly is a dangerous thing, eh?
I really wish there was a separate section of this site for baseless, motivated crap. The factual news presented here is invaluable, but as soon as the human element rears its head, everything comes crashing down.
-Could the Colts have used pencil and paper to crack the code? Yes.
-Could the Colts have illegally videotaped the sideline? Yes.
-Could Peyton Manning (or a WR or any other player) have simply witnessed their codes and remembered the ensuing play? Yes.
Despite those possibilities and others, despite the fact that this is information from John Madden about what Ron Rivera allegedly told him… the headline that points out this story really has to have the word "cheaters" in it?
Why don't you just try reporting the news and let your readers think for themselves? It's annoying and condescending to have to retranslate every update so that we can remove the spin.
ar1888 says: Jan 3, 2009 8:57 PM
Just because the Chargers believe this, doesnt not make it fact. I believe the Patriots planted the story.
TheDPR says: Jan 3, 2009 8:59 PM
I'm with the guy who said stealing signals is a part of sports. If you don't want your signals stolen then change your signals once in awhile.

Maybe some loser golf instructor (who used to work for the Colts) will come forward on January 31st claiming to have video of the Bears walkthrough at the SB two years ago and this will cause a distraction that leads to the Colts losing in the SB this year. Of course since the NFL loves Peyton and enforces rules that Polian wants enforced, a new rule next year will allow for videotaping of opposing team signals. F the Colts.

In other news – nice non-challenge Dungy – obvious call that would have been overturned. Who do you think you are, Mike McCarthy?
mjo55555 says: Jan 3, 2009 9:25 PM
Don't worry Colts phan, nothing will ever happen because they don't want Peyton and his cro magnon head getting a legacy tarnished. Plus they like to keep Tony Dungee perfect since he's the first kinda black head coach to win a Super Bowl. He's black like Michael Jackson (without the child molestation).
Pastabelly says: Jan 3, 2009 9:27 PM
Yup, we Patriots fans are home early this year after an 11-5 season without Tom Brady. None of us are heartbroken. We'll all be back and the haters know this.
The media drinks Dungy's urine the same way that they have done for Favre for years. Polian and company have changed the rules, piped in audio of crowd noise, and done everything else to gain a competitive advantage. I will actually root for the Giants in the SB if it comes to that, if they are playing the Colts.
espnsux says: Jan 3, 2009 9:28 PM
geez Florio-you should know better than to mess with Saint Tony and the Colts…..it's heresy!! However, it does bring to mind the rather shocking and unexpected Pro-Patriot reation from the world's biggest Pat hater- Bill Polian. Hmm, maybe he knew something. How about this for your next headline….Colts were allowed to collude with Titans and keep Browns out of playoffs, pipe music in, and steal signals(as long as it's them and not the Pats.) Florio, any way to pull up Polian's quotes re spygate? Might make those straws you're grasping at seem a little more credible.
anniev123 says: Jan 3, 2009 9:31 PM
its not abnojut being saint tony its about saying talking BS with no credible sources. impuning the reputation of all that work for the colts. its totally rediculous.
JoeSixPack says: Jan 3, 2009 9:36 PM
Taping of signals goes back 50 years and continues today. In fact Goodell still allows signals to be videotaped legally – just as long as the video is not taken from the sidelines.
Since there's no indication the Colts taped from the sidelines, no reason for them to be labled "cheaters" – they're cheating legally. Such semantics are lost on most fans however who like to delude themselves that videotaping signals for later review makes one the anti-Christ.
cyberpat66 says: Jan 3, 2009 9:37 PM
Yeah Florio, do a live blog of the Phins being plucked to death by the Ravens…

jaxdolfan says: Jan 3, 2009 10:27 PM
All Peyton has to say is that he wasn't aware that having the other team's signals was against the rules.
Like Belichick did not know that having a mistress in New York was against the rules of marriage.
Peyton Manning is like Baby Jesus. Brady is like Eddie Haskell.

Couldn't resist another opportunity to slander Tony's reputation down to the level of 'ol cheating Bill's, couldn't you? A comment by a mentally foggy joke of a commentator (that probably barely registered with people without such an agenda) was enough to bring your personal animus against Dungy out of hiding. Let's all remind ourselves that this isn't actually journalism based on solid facts – but just empty speculation based on nothing but your personal hangups.
What is it? Is it that you cannot stand the very real possibility that Dungy may actually have the ethical behavior to back up his (sparse) words – and/or that the playing field may not have been exactly level during those epic Colts-Patriots games of the past five years? Is this why you are doing more than your part to convince yourself and your readership otherwise?
You have no idea what all could have been going through Dungy's mind when he spoke out about Spygate (or actually – you just might, but you're putting your own spin on things anyway). Dungy likely had some very legitimate reasons to be quite "tense" about Bill's (alleged) cheating and the actual repercussions (or lack thereof) of the infraction – reasons that may fall beyond the scope of even a self-proclaimed genius like yourself.

HarrisonHits says: Jan 3, 2009 11:02 PM
First of all it is entirely within the rules to steal signs and any coach worth even vaguely competent has to have a database built up of what the other coaches around the league do.
Second, veteran players often recognize alignments and formations and will have a very good idea of what's coming even if they don't know exactly what to expect. It doesn't matter what signs you use, a given set of players in a given formation will often result in a one of a set of plays being called, sometimes a very small set. Part of what being a veteran is means you recognize things you seen many times before and adjust your play to that knowledge. That's one of the main reasons players watch film of the other teams, so they recognize formations and know what's going to follow as a result.

The Colts are about as guilty of cheating as Marvin Harrison was guilty of pistol whipping and obstruction of justice and stupidity by "hiding" the gun at his car wash. Oh, nevermind. Colts choke in the playoffs:$6 for a six pack, Jets don't even make the playoffs: $65 bucks at the bar, watching the Colts and Phony Dungy choke and lose AND watching the Jets miss the playoffs AND having Eric"Dough Boy"Mangini lose his job:PRICELESS.

drock81 says: Jan 4, 2009 12:25 AM
Hey Wingnut the only frauds are the teams that play in the Cards division, including the Cards. Barely at or above the .500 mark is really nothing to thump your chest over. We'll see where your team the Cards are at the end of next year and where the Patriots are next year.
gdog says: Jan 4, 2009 12:29 AM
Its only cheating if Belichick does it- its not a story if Dungy does it, don't you get it? Look at it this way can you ever picture Tom Jackson on the set of ESPN ever saying anything bad about Dumgy? Where's the Rams walkthrough tape? And what the hell's the name of that loser who apparently had it?
mjlahaie says: Jan 4, 2009 1:15 AM
Lots of low lifes with anger issues commenting tonight! For those of you that haven't played sports at a competitive level, getting some type of competitive advantage (ie. stealing signals) is done all the time.
People like hated on the Patriots, or tried to make it something the government should investigate (Specter) are obviously non-sports playing people, or don't have the talent to get to those competitive levels. It's as simple as that.
brittden54 says: Jan 4, 2009 1:46 AM
If John Madden had said, "I have to think that Dwight Freeney could only move that fast because he has the help of performance enhancing drugs", would we have gotten a similar post like this? I don't think this is remotely fair, and just reeks of you wanting your conjecture to be the story, more than the actual story itself. When Cooper made the signal tonight that seemed to turn the Charger blitz into a drop back cover scheme, Madden himself pointed that out and suggested that signal meant to drop back. If Peyton Manning also picks up on this, does that make him a cheater? Could he have figured a lot of signs out through several contests because the Chargers were too lazy to change them? Maybe if he closes his eyes real real tight, he can keep his integrity.

hbdive says: Jan 4, 2009 10:42 AM
The Patriots were punished. Why were they punished? Because they were caught cheating.
Has anyone else been punished for stealing signals illegally? No. Because no other team has been caught cheating. End of Story.
Adog03 says: Jan 4, 2009 10:43 AM
Having lived through spygate going on in my backyard and having to watch the greatest Team in the last decade take the fall for what is common practice by all 32 teams in the NFL, I am not suprised that this last acusation against the Colts and Manning is being buried under the rug. The league realized that the Patriots were taking the parody out of the game by stomping there opponents left and right. They could not be defeated between the lines so they destroyed them the best way they could, going public with a story that contained more holes than swiss chesse. Wether it was a bold faced lie about taping the Rams walkthrough that was coincedentally leaked 48 hours before kickoff agains the Giants in the Super Bowl, or a loser like Arlen Spector who was pissed his Eagles loss the Super Bowl to the Pats,which had everything to due with an out of shape Mcnabb puking during the last 2 minutes and nothing to do with videotaping and stealing singals. In short Peyton is the NFL's golden boy with his ads every five seconds and his 3 MVPS so he is allowed to steal signs from the sidelines,It is my understanding that when your coach doesnt smile and is not as forthcoming with injury reports you get the media on your ass and they will look to bury you, which is exactly what is happening. I guarantee this latest accusation against the Colts will go unnoticed and unpunished, while the Pats will be associated with spygate for life!
jimmyjames says: Jan 4, 2009 11:26 AM
Stealing signals is not cheating, but since the public ran the Patriots through the mud for doing so they should steal the signals.
I mean the Patriots and the Jets were both cuaght filming in areas they were not supposed to, but only the Pats got shit for it. "Spygate" had nothing to do with stealing signals like ESPN would want you to believe.
I say the Colts have been long overdue to recieve the cheatet moniker. Polian had to change the pass interference rules, they piped in sound 2 years ago, now they steal signs. I'm just glad they lost last night. There is no team more boring than the DOLTS!
jimmyjames says: Jan 4, 2009 11:29 AM
hbdive they were not punished for stealing signals. They were punished for filming from a undesignated area. They could have been filming the cheerleaders and by rule they would have gotten the same punishment. They did the same thing the Jets did in the 2006 playoffs and they were not punished.
mustbechris says: Jan 4, 2009 1:16 PM
All teams are looking for an advantage. Colts had an advantage in November; Chargers took the advantage back in January. It's all a chess match. No problem with this story at all. It's not grasping, it's speculating. That's the point of this website. It's called Pro Football Talk because the point of the website is to start discussion. If it wasn't, then comments wouldn't be allowed on the posts. I'm not a Pats hater, nor am I an apologist, and I don't think Florio is either. Hearing John Madden say that is gonna make everyone think the same thing after how blown out of proportion the whole Spygate thing was. Florio just has the vehicle to talk about it, while most people don't. It's very possible that they cheated; don't tell me Polian wouldn't do that (or that he would learn from what the Pats did and how they got punished for it). He's gonna do anything he can to make his team the best it can be. Starting the season probably made his head explode, because Indy just doesn't have bad seasons. Going 9-0 over that span will make people wonder. Even if they didn't cheat, it's a valid discussion to have.

Hey Blast Furnace, I got no problem with last years Super Bowl loss to the Giants. Probably one of the most exciting SB's in a long time. Yeah we lost and I'm disappointed but that is why you play the game and if you ever played a competitive sport you would know there can only be one team that wins. The Giants got hot at the right time and they played the game of their life and they were the better team that night. And yes the Patriots lost to a team with a record that was worse than the Patriots but we made it a lot farther than the teams I was commenting on douche bag.

I think I get it… It's something like complete, 100%, delusional denial that your team offered the world the BIGGEST CHOKE in the history of the NFL – if not the history of all of sports, when they got beat by the Giants in the Super Bowl – but you got your gag reflex under control so its okay cuz they made it further.
p.s. One doesn't have to have played a competitive sport to know that only one team wins – just ask donavan mcnabb.
P.P.S. An interesting thought here is that what became the BIGGEST CHOKE in the history of the nfl when the Patriots got beat by the Giants in the Super Bowl actually surpassed what was the BIGGEST CHOKE in the history of the nfl – which was offered to the world the year prior – you know – when the Patriots blew the biggest half time lead in the AFC championship game to Peyton Mannings Colts.

Actually the biggest choke in all sports belongs to the Yankees…losing one game to a lesser opponent is certainly an upset, but losing four straight games after going up 3-0 is a far bigger choke due to the fact that it was four separate games that became the biggest upset. The saying in the NFL is in fact Any Given Sunday…
Don't get me wrong that lost the Gents still stings, but the Pats have still accomplished more than Forehead's Dolts have in the last 10 years choke or no choke.
neutral_like_sweden says: Jan 6, 2009 3:09 AM
"The Blast Furnace", you should really learn what 'choke' means. They played with an injured Brady and Moss, and lose a starting o-lineman early in the game (everyone remembers how well the o-line played that game). Hours before the game the team is accused of the biggest scandal in sports history. Giants get a miracle helmet catch via Tyree. Still, the Pats were ahead on the scoreboard with 40 seconds left in the game. I would call it the biggest disappointment in sports, but not the biggest choke. It's surprising you think they choked since judging by your comments, you seem like a Colts fan, so you should know better then anyone what the word choke means.

Sir, there is no better definition of choke in NFL History… it surpassed what used to be the biggest choke which took place the year prior when the Patriots lost an 18 point lead and the biggest lead ever to be lost at halftime against the colts……. which was probably one of the most exciting championship games in a long time.

He is one of the most successful sports people in Britain, a multi-millionaire and a role model to millions.
But a less well-known fact about the racing driver Lewis Hamilton is that as a 16-year-old in 2001 he was mistakenly expelled from school, and only cleared after his father, Anthony, vigorously fought the headteacher's decision at an independent appeals panel.
The panel concluded it was a case of mistaken identity, with Hamilton wrongly excluded alongside five other teenage boys after a fellow pupil was attacked.
"I knew I was innocent but [the head] did not appear to be interested," Hamilton wrote in his autobiography. He added, of the situation before the panel heard the case: "No one appeared to listen – no one either wanted to or had the time. We were on our own and I was out of school."
The case is being put forward as an example of the type of miscarriage of justice that could occur if the government goes ahead with plans, proposed by the Conservatives before the general election, to scrap independent appeals panels.
In the run-up to the election, David Cameron told London's Evening Standard: "The headteacher should have absolute discretion over excluding pupils who are behaving badly. Right now, a headteacher can exclude a child who behaves appallingly and the appeals panel can put the kid straight back in school."
Scrapping the panels, three- or five-person bodies that hear pupils' and parents' appeals against exclusion decisions, has been Conservative policy for several years. It is thought the move could commence in an education bill due to start going through parliament in the autumn.
However, a paper being published by the Runnymede Trust charity highlights the Lewis Hamilton case as an example of what could go wrong. The paper, by David Gillborn and David Drew, of London University's Institute of Education, also presents some interesting statistics.
Of the 8,110 permanent exclusions in 2007-08, it says, only 710, fewer than one in 11, were contested in front of appeals panels. Of those, the panel found in favour of the pupil in one in four cases: a total of 180 times. This represents a headteacher's decision being overturned at appeal in just 2% of all cases of permanent exclusion.
Even more strikingly, perhaps, government figures show, of the 180 times that the parent or pupil was successful, only in 60 cases overall, in 2007-08, did the child actually return to the school. In the remaining cases, a decision would have been taken to educate the child at another school or pupil referral unit.
To critics, it seems a lot of political fuss about the disruption potentially caused by 60 pupils, out of a total pupil population in England of 8.1 million (or one pupil in 135,000), returning to classrooms from which the head wanted to expel them.
"[This] hardly constitutes a huge disruption to the flow of exclusions. However, panels are highly significant to the people who hope to find justice," says the paper.
When a head takes a decision to exclude a pupil permanently, the case must be heard by a committee of the school's governors. If pupil and parents are unhappy, they can appeal to the appeals panel. This must consist of at least one person who has been a headteacher in another school. It is chaired by a "lay" person, who has never worked in a school, but could be legally qualified. The panels were set up in 1986 by the Conservatives but have come under fire for overruling heads' decisions. Teacher unions have sometimes threatened strike action if pupils are reinstated.
Government guidance published in 2008 says the panels "should not reinstate the pupil without good reasons": cases of mistaken identity, or the punishment being disproportionate, or when there have been "procedural irregularities" in the school's handling of the exclusion.
Sam Murray, head of policy and information at the Advisory Centre for Education, which works with families affected by exclusion decisions, is concerned. She is particularly worried that the move could take away safeguards for those families with children with special needs, those who are eligible for free school meals and ethnic minorities including black Caribbean pupils over-represented in exclusions statistics. She says: "As an adult at work, I would expect to have the right to make my case to an independent body. Why should pupils not have that right?"
Concerns have also been raised that the move could force parents into expensive challenges through the courts, although the Conservatives were quoted in 2007 as saying they would take legal steps to stop this happening. Even the Association of School and College Leaders, which represents secondary heads, has been among those opposed for this reason. An ASCL spokeswoman says: "We would rather keep the appeals panels. If they did not exist, there would be more parents taking schools to court."
Carl Parsons, an expert on exclusions, visiting professor at the University of Greenwich and sometime appeals panel member himself, says that the panels are imperfect, in that the process of fighting a quasi-legal battle can be intimidating for parents. He advocates a system whereby schools and local authorities work to make exclusions unnecessary. He adds: "I would not want to stick up too strongly for the system that we have. But there has to be that right of appeal."
The paper to be published in the Runnymede Trust's magazine also presents new figures showing that pupils from black Caribbean and from "any other black" backgrounds were more likely to be excluded from academies than those of all other ethnic categories.
Some 0.72% and 0.74% of pupils in these two ethnic groups were permanently excluded from academies in the academic year 2007-08, the figures show, compared to 0.62% and 0.59% in conventional state schools. The permanent exclusion rate for white pupils from academies that year was 0.44%, more than double the figure of 0.2 % for non-academies.
The paper argues that ministers, who are now promising academy status for all schools, should monitor this situation very carefully.
A Department for Education spokesman says: "Ministers are currently considering the future of independent appeals panels, as part of a wider reform of school discipline. The education and children's bill in the autumn will put heads and teachers back in control, giving them a range of tough new powers to deal with bullies and the most disruptive pupils. We will set out full details in due course."

Health Care Plan
A health care plan, or benefit plan, is an insurance policy that helps pay for medical care services that treat or prevent a patient for a medical condition or illness. It might pay all for all of the services, but most likely only a large portion. Other than monthly premiums, the patient will also have other payment obligations when they see a doctor or visit a medical facility.
The new Obamacare law was signed in 2010 impacted Americans on March 31, 2014.

I bought a car from JD BYRIDER 7 years ago. The car did not run, everytime you took your foot off the gas the car died and was hard to start. I had it into there shop several times and they charged me to fix it, which I would not pay because the car was not fixed.
They came and got the car and now they are trying to garnish my wages for $10,473.41 for a car I had for about 3 weeks.
I really need a lawyer, but I don't know how to go about getting one I can afford.

An interview with Mr. Deeds, the entity associated with SCP-662.
Dr. Mirth: Good afternoon.
Butler: Good afternoon, Dr. Mirth. How may I be of service?
Dr. Mirth: Firstly, may I have your name?
Butler: Certainly. You may call me Mr. Deeds.
Dr. Mirth: Is that your real name?
Mr. Deeds: It is not my birth name, no sir.
Dr. Mirth: What would that be? And where were you born?
Mr. Deeds: Unfortunately, I cannot remember my full name sir, nor am I positive of my birthplace, though I do believe it to be located in England.
Dr. Mirth: Do you recall when you were born, Mr. Deeds?
Mr. Deeds: I am truly sorry to disappoint again, sir, but I do not recall that either. Though it must have been some time ago, for I don't believe that I was born in this era.
Dr. Mirth: Can you approximate it?
Mr. Deeds: Again sir, I apologize for my lack of self knowledge. I'm a bit of a shut-in, as you know. (Mr. Deeds nodded at the bell and smiled)
Dr. Mirth: What is the earliest mode of transportation that you can recall seeing in person or utilizing from the past.
Mr. Deeds: Horse and Buggy, sir; although bicycles were just becoming a fad with the wealthy if I recall correctly. Quite took off, didn't they, sir? (Smiled again)
Dr. Mirth: You needn't call me sir any longer, I appreciate it, but it's becoming a bit grating.
Mr. Deeds: Very well.
Dr. Mirth: Why do you suppose that you cannot remember these things?
Mr. Deeds: I…I can't quite say. (Mr. Deeds shifted his weight in his chair and looked a bit uncomfortable for a moment before resuming his posture)
Dr. Mirth: Or is it that you may, or will not say?
Mr. Deeds: That may be the case, yes, perhaps I may not say, though again, begging your pardon, I do not recall why that is.
Dr. Mirth: Very well. Moving on: where is it that you go to when you fetch items for those you serve?
Mr. Deeds: Well, you see, ah… (the face of Mr. Deeds contorted momentarily as if he was in great pain before he quickly reassumed a more relaxed visage) I don't actually recall that either.
Dr. Mirth: Why do you wince when I ask these kinds of questions?
Mr. Deeds: I do not know.
Dr. Mirth: Never mind that for now, we'll get answers eventually. Now then, I have a request.
Mr. Deeds: Very well, how may I be of further assistance?
Dr. Mirth: I would like a glass of iced tea. And grab a glass of it for yourself if you'd like.
Mr. Deeds: What kind of iced tea would you prefer?
Dr. Mirth: Surprise me.
Mr. Deeds: Certainly.
Mr. Deeds stood and walked to the door of the interrogation room and tried the handle. Finding it locked, he turned and smiled at Dr. Mirth.
Dr. Mirth: What seems to be the problem?
Mr. Deeds: I must leave your presence to do as you request.
Dr. Mirth: Why is that?
Mr. Deeds: (Visibly uncomfortable again) It just is, Dr. Mirth.
Dr. Mirth: Okay. Open the door, agent Graves.
Mr. Deeds left the room. He proceeded down the hallway, under visual surveillance via camera and Agent Graves. He paused momentarily at another door, shook his head, looked up at the camera and then at Agent Graves. Then he ran down the hallway and rounded the corner. Agent Graves did not follow as he had been instructed to remain on guard at the door of the interrogation room.
Still under camera surveillance, Mr. Deeds proceeded quickly down the next hall and continued throughout the halls of the complex, presumably searching for an exit or area not under surveillance. Finally, he stopped halfway down corridor 2D. At this point, all three cameras in corridor 2D malfunctioned, including two that were hidden. Exactly three minutes later, the cameras resumed normal functioning, revealing Mr. Deeds standing in the same position, but with a tray holding two glasses of iced tea in hand. He then quickly made his way back to the interrogation room.
Dr. Mirth: Ah, you have returned. I was beginning to worry.
Mr. Deeds: My apologies for the delay, finding a way out was troublesome. But not to worry, I've brought the tea, just as you asked. I do hope you enjoy it.
Dr. Mirth: What kind of tea is it?
Mr. Deeds: Southern style sweet tea.
Mr. Deeds placed a glass in front of Dr. Mirth and resumed his seat at the other end of the table. Dr. Mirth hesitantly sniffed the tea, smiled, and took a sip.
Dr. Mirth: Quite good Mr. Deeds. In fact, this is perhaps the best sweet tea I've ever had! Delicious! Did you make it yourself?
Mr. Deeds: I do dislike disappointing you, Dr. Mirth, but I do not recall. I assume that I did, but alas, my mind is not what it used to be.
Dr. Mirth: You've only been gone (looked at watch) about ten minutes Mr. Deeds. Are you telling me your memory is so terrible that you cannot remember what happened ten minutes ago or the time between?
Mr. Deeds: I recall looking for a way out, and I recall returning with the tea, but that is all.
Dr. Mirth: But not how or where you acquired the tea?
Mr. Deeds: Unfortunately no. (Was visibly uncomfortable again)
Dr. Mirth: Very well. I have another request.
Mr. Deeds: As you wish.
Dr. Mirth: I would like a bar of gold.
Mr. Deeds: What percentage of pureness would you like?
Dr. Mirth: 99.98 percent if you please.
Mr. Deeds: That may be possible, let me see what I can do.
Dr. Mirth: We'll disable the cameras in the hall outside and Agent Graves will wait in the interrogation room with me to make your trip a little faster this time.
Mr. Deeds: Very much appreciated, shall I?
Dr. Mirth: Yes.
Mr. Deeds exited into the hallway, where the cameras were not turned off as suggested by Dr. Mirth. He paused for a moment, looked up at the closest camera, shook his head, and began traveling through the hallways of the complex as before. In corridor 2B, he paused, and once more all cameras, hidden or visible, in the corridor malfunctioned. Exactly ten minutes and thirty seven seconds later, the cameras began functioning again, only to show Mr. Deeds once again in the same position, with a bar of gold in one hand. He then returned to the interrogation room.
Dr. Mirth: That took a bit longer than last time. Any reason?
Mr. Deeds: Well, it seems that the cameras in the hallway remained on, so I had to find a suitable way out again. I apologize for the delay. Also, I was not able to acquire a bar of gold to the pureness that you requested, but I assure you that this bar is 99.14 percent pure.
Dr. Mirth: Very impressive. We will be testing it, I'm sure you know.
Mr. Deeds: I did not know that you would, but it makes sense, I suppose. Will there be anything else, Dr. Mirth?
Dr. Mirth: Yes. For your next task, I would like for you to acquire for me a blue 1963 Corvette convertible.
Mr. Deeds: I am quite sorry, but that is not possible.
Dr. Mirth: Why not? I really want one.
Mr. Deeds: Again, I cannot say why except that I just know that one cannot be gotten via my methods.
Dr. Mirth: And what are those methods?
Mr. Deeds: I do not recall.
Dr. Mirth: Very well, I would like a Faberge Egg, any will do.
Mr. Deeds: Ah, well, regretfully, that is impossible as well.
Dr. Mirth: And I suppose you cannot say why?
Mr. Deeds: That is correct.
Dr. Mirth: How about some caviar? Any brand or type will do.
Mr. Deeds: That I can do.
Mr. Deeds once more entered the hallway outside the interrogation room. This time, the cameras were turned off after visual confirmation of Mr. Deeds' entry into the hall. One minute later the cameras were turned back on, but Mr. Deeds had already returned to the interrogation room at this point.
Dr. Mirth: That was considerably faster Mr. Deeds. It only took you thirty two seconds. And the caviar is quite good.
Mr. Deeds: I am pleased to hear it.
Dr. Mirth: One more thing before we end this session Mr. Deeds.
Mr. Deeds: As you wish.
Dr. Mirth: I request that you assassinate Osama Bin Laden.
Mr. Deeds: I'm afraid that cannot be done at this time, Dr. Mirth. Perhaps someone closer and less heavily guarded?
Dr. Mirth: Very well. Let's make it the gentleman in the next room over.
Mr. Deeds: Indeed.
Mr. Deeds once again entered the hallway. After visual confirmation, the cameras were momentarily turned off. When turned back on, they revealed the door to the next interrogation room down shutting. The cameras in that interrogation room showed Mr. Deeds entering the room with a large buck knife hidden behind one arm. Mr. Deeds approached the waiting D-class personnel and deftly slit his throat with one quick motion of the knife. Mr. Deeds watched as the D-class personnel went through the motions of death, avoiding their attempts to grab him. Once the D-class individual was visually presumed dead, Mr. Deeds returned to the interrogation room from whence he came.
Dr. Mirth: The deed is done then?
Mr. Deeds: Indeed. Here is the knife I used as proof.
Dr. Mirth: Why could you do this thing but not the other?
Mr. Deeds: I cannot say except to note that I simply knew one was impossible while the other was not.
Dr. Mirth: So you don't know how you know things like my last name or my title, or whether or not a certain task is possible?
Mr. Deeds: That is correct.
Dr. Mirth: Very well. I believe we are done here for now, but for one thing. Agent Graves will have some questions for you now, some you've been asked by me already, and some new ones. I would advise you to answer them, for he will be relentless in seeking the answers.
Mr. Deeds: I will do as best I can.
Dr. Mirth: We shall see.
Dr. Mirth left Mr. Deeds in the care of Agent Graves at this point, who proceeded to interrogate the butler using various methods of torture and provocation for 22 hours. At the end of the session, Mr. Deeds was killed via evisceration of the lower abdomen and removal of various internal organs. No further information regarding where Mr. Deeds goes, how he leaves, or the methods by which he acquires the things he does, nor how he knows whether a task is possible or not, was garnered, despite Agent Graves' best efforts.
A post-mortem examination of the body revealed it to be ordinary in every way, though it is noted that Mr. Deeds was not suffering from any noticeable disease or physical condition, and was in fact in near perfect health at the time of death disregarding the trauma incurred during interrogation. The contents of his stomach consisted of a bit of Southern style sweet tea, normal stomach acids, and no more.
Mr. Deeds' body was then left on the operating table while the lights in the room and cameras were turned off. All personnel left the room, and upon return, no trace of Mr. Deeds, be it blood on the instruments used or other physical traces such as organs removed let alone the actual body, remained.
Further ringing of the bell that summons Mr. Deeds resulted in his appearance after three minutes. He showed no signs of injury and was well dressed once more in a modern uniform commonly worn by butlers. He could not, as expected, recall how he managed to survive. He was then ordered to give Dr. Mirth a full body massage, which he performed much to Dr. Mirth's satisfaction, who claimed it was "the best damned rub down I've ever had, my back pain is completely gone".

Howard delivers victory speech
Page Tools
Prime Minister John Howard waves to the crowd after winning the federal election for a fourth consecutive term.

Prime Minister John Howard has claimed victory in the federal election.
"My fellow Australians, can I say first of all that I am truly humbled by this extraordinary expression of confidence in the leadership of this great nation by the coalition,'' he said.
"In accepting their charge to lead the nation I rededicate myself and all of my colleagues to the service of the Australian people.''
Mr Howard greeted wellwishers as he made the long walk to the podium at Sydney's Wentworth Hotel.
With his wife Janette and his children by his side, Mr Howard had to ask the crowd to stop their cheering as he stepped up to claim victory.
He said the nation now stood on the threshold of a new era of great achievement.
"This nation, by reason of the circumstances of history and by reason of its great capacity and the great capacity and dedication of the Australian people, this nation stands on the threshold of a new era of great achievement,'' he said.
Mr Howard thanked Opposition Leader Mark Latham, whom he said had called him before his speech to concede defeat.
"I do warmly thank him for the gracious things that he said,'' Mr Howard said.
"Our's is a great democracy, there can only be one winner when an election is held.
"You face that great moment of electoral judgment and electoral truth.
"We are happy, we are joyful that the verdict has been given by the Australian people but never forget the fact that governments are elected to govern not only for the people who voted for them, but also for the people who voted against them.''
Mr Howard said the victory was a truly historic achievement for the two coalition parties.
"We have to look back for the 1960s to find an occasion when an incumbent government has increased its majority on two successive occasions,'' he said.
"That is an extraordinary achievement and when I look around the nation there is a wonderful story to be told of achievement in each of the different states of our nation.''
Mr Howard thanked all his colleagues for their loyalty.
"I express my thanks for their loyalty, their co-operation, and their support, particularly during the weeks of this election campaign.''
Mr Howard singled out Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson and Treasurer Peter Costello for praise.
"There is no finer human being in public life than John Anderson and the loyalty that he's displayed towards me, the leadership of his own party, the way in which he represents the interest of country Australians is a source of continued inspiration and help to me,'' he said.
"To John I say thank you for the friendship and the loyalty of these past years.
"And the deputy leader of my own party, Peter Costello, the treasurer, whose stewardship has given us one of the strongest economies in the western world and also the strongest economic conditions that this country arguably has experienced since the end of World War II.''
Mr Howard used his victory speech to remind the nation that on Australia's election day, Afghanistan also had had its first taste of democracy, thanks to the war against terrorism.
"We must remember that this very same day the people of Afghanistan have had an election,'' he said.
"That election has been made possible by reason of the fact that a number of countries including Australia were prepared to take a stand for democracy and to take a stand against terrorism.
"As the people of Afghanistan vote today, particularly the women of Afghanistan, they have been so brutally suppressed for so long.''
Mr Howard said Australians should be proud of the role they played in liberating Afghanistan, as well as the action it had taken in Iraq.
"We should be proud of the role that we have played in their liberation, just as we should be proud of the role that Australia has played in many other areas in standing for the values we believe in and the things we hold dear,'' he said.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 7, 2005, New Braunfels, Texas Sunday, August 7, 2005 — Herald-Zeitung — Page 7 A BUSINESS WHATS AHEAD COLORFUL KALEIDOSCOPE Oak Leaf Quilts opens business in New Braunfeb. rn Expanding exercise, health Anytime Fitness opens third business in year By Melissa Johnson Staff Writer Business is booming at area Anytime Fitness locations — so much so that franchise owner Kelly Meyer plans to have IO locations between Austin and San Antonio by 2008. Since opening the first Anytime Fitness location in downtown New Braunfels in March 2004 and a second in Schertz in December of the same year, Meyer said the clubs have attracted 1,400 members. "The major reason we've been able to expand so quickly is because people like something different,'' Meyer said. "For the most part health clubs have simply been sweatshops with weights in them. We offer people much more than that." A club opening up in Seguin on the corner of Highway 123 and I lighway 90 this November will be the next dot on the Anytime Fitness map. "We are very excited to be able to add another club for our members," Meyer said. "Seguin has very limited options for fitness centers and our 24-hour concept will open the door for many who would otherwise not be able to work out." Meyer said his interest in the Seguin market was partially a result of the complementary business relationship among itll Anytime Fitness locations, which allows members to use any of the more than 175 Anytime Fitness locations with one membership — whether they feel like exercising after work in New Braunfels, working out closer to home on the weekends or lifting weights on a cross-country business trip. "The two markets are intertwined because people work in New Braunfels and live in Seguin," Meyer said. "We're the only fitness center that does this and it s such an added convenience for members." like Meyer's other clubs, tire Seguin location will combine strength training and cardiovascular exercise equipment. The 3,600 square foot fitness center will feature rubber-coated free weights, circuit and cross-training machines, stationary bicycles and treadmills equipped with 13-inch flat screen TVs. The center will also have a tanning bed and shower facilities. "Most out members tell us the major thing they like about the center is the simplicity," Meyer said. "Clients walk in door and five feet to right is cardio equipment. They don't have to wade through a bunch of equipment and people to get to what they want." To ensure that the clubs don't become too crowded, each location has an 800 person membership cap. With so many fitness chains to chose from, Meyer said what sets Anytime Fitness apart from its competitors is its personal touch and low price. This summer the club started an adventure team, which organizes out of gym activities such as hiking, canoeing and rock climbing. Anytime sets up the excursions with local businesses and secures lower group rates for its members.

Meyer said one of the reasons dues are on the low end of the scale is because the number of employees at each location is limited to two. " Hie biggest expense at most gyms comes from the payroll," Meyer said. "We keep ours to a minimum and pass on those savings to our members." While staff members are on hand from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. to assist customers and give new member orientations, after staffed hours, video surveillance cameras, panic buttons and card accesses doors keep members safe and secure. "Seven days a week, 24-hours a day, the club literally never closes," Meyer said. "The whole point is you can come and go and use the club whenever you want. Just after the Schertz location opened, we had 14 people working out on Christmas day." Meyer plans to open up another Anytime location on the outskirts of New Braunfels in 2007 with additional locations coming to San Marcos, Kyle, Buda and Lockhart.

Silas: Early Morning WorriesMature
I had chosen to spend the night curled up on a seat in the van, pondering about what to do. It had been an eventful few days and too many run ins with the police for my liking. To begin with, I hadn't been terribly comfortable with this woman and I still wasn't. Maybe she was some sort of police mole to see if we'd talk. A trap.
I discounted it as paranoia.
That morning I had got up pretty early and sat in the field, watching the birds flying around. It amazed me how even the simplest of things could amuse me and, roughly two hours later, Harry came over, sitting beside me.
"Alright Si?"
I looked to him, nodding uncertainly. I could see in his eyes that there was something he wanted to tell me, waiting for him to open his mouth.
"Angel." He said. "She won't be bothering you anymore."
"Ask no questions?" I said, looking out into the distance.
"Tell no lies." He replied, the two of us working in sync.
I patted him on the shoulder as I got up, wanting to have a word with our new best friend but decided it could wait when I saw Aimee clambering out of the van.
"Morning." I offered, smiling.
"Morning Silas. Hope you weren't woken up by the snoring." she said with a grin.
"Nope. I wasn't aware that you snored." I said, reaching into the van for my bag. I could hear Harry laughing from nearby - I had ruined her joke. "Sorry, Aimee."
She patted me on the shoulder before going to sit with Harry. Now there was something interesting. As much as I wanted to find out what was going on between them two, I opted to leave them be, knowing that they'd want their peace.
"How early is it?" Flossie asked from deep in the van, covered by an array of blankets.
"Not too early." I said, offering my hand to help her get up.
"Silas. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." She looked serious and worried. "Shoot."
"The others. Are they?"
"Outside? Yes."
"No. You know, more than that."
I shook my head, unsure as to whether I should get involved. "Not that I know of. I think she's just a little scared after what happened and he's the big strong man who can look after her. Nothing more."
"Aww Silas! You're just as big and strong!" she gave me a quick hug, peeking over my shoulder at Harry and Aimee.
"And spying on them is rude." I whispered, aware of what she was up to. I broke off the embrace, instead looking her in the eye. "What do you think of her?"
"She seems nice enough." I sensed that I wasn't going to get anything useful out of her, or anyone else for that matter so thanked her for the compliment and curled up for a bit more sleep.
When I woke up, she was outside. They had all had some breakfast, leaving me out; Flossie might have woken me to ask me if I wanted any, but I wasn't sure if that had been a dream or not.
"Right!" she said clapping her hands together, "Now that we are all bright eyed and bushy tailed, let's get to work unravelling this mystery!"
I opened the door to the van, attracting everyone's attention as I pushed on it a little too hard.
"You start, yes?" I called to her, pushing in front of everyone else and facing her, sizing her up as I went. She couldn't be much older than us. She had a nosy face, but I couldn't figure out why I thought that. Then again, I'm not too good at judging girls.
"Got something to hide, Silas?" she was sharp this one; I liked that.
"Yes, as it happens. But not to do with you." Everyone turned to stare at me, looking confused. "We all have our little secrets, do we not? I don't see why I should have to share mine with you, especially since it isn't really any of your business."
I think a lot of my friends thought that that was just aimed at this officer but I wasn't so sure. Part of me didn't want to tell even my closest of friends. I wasn't sure if I was ready yet. Well no, more that I wasn't sure if they were ready yet.
"Tell us." Harry chanted, trying to get everyone to join in and failing.
"Moving on. So tell us, how much danger are we in?" I was scared at what the answer could be, not terribly sure if I wanted to know or not. Then again, it's better knowing things. Inside, I was wincing as I waited for the answer. Gulp.

The most dramatic of pauses followed this, Quincey was breathless.
If Camden had the will, he would throw himself from the railing right now.
"Qué es él hablando?" Antonio asked Camden.
Camden shrugged, not having a clue what any of the men around him were going on about.
"Don't give me that look you guys! Look it's simple!" He grabbed a tiny rusting nail from where he had amassed a pile on the ground. "You pick one up and you chuck it!" and with that the small metal object flew through the air and flew straight downwards to the zombies below which circled the staircase.
It bounced of one woman's nose.
"CLOSE ENOUGH!" Quincey bellowed.
The aggravated zombies hissed louder, pressing against the railings to try and get to the white haired young man. Obviously they couldn't fly but the sight of it still unnerved Camden even though the barricade next to them looked as solid as rock, the amass of domestic objects protecting the lives of 14 people, and 3 floors at the top of this flat from a zombie feast.
Antonio was still wearing his black leather mask he was clothed rather plainly, any doubts Camden had about himself being weird were dashed as he was standing next to a Spanish man wearing a leather mask and a madman whose idea of entertainment was chucking small metal nails into the mouths of moving corpses.
"Put- Nail-o- into-mouth-o!" Quincey started to slowly explain to a completely blank looking Antonio.
"Que no sabe español verdad?" Antonio asked Camden again, a sort of pleading in his voice. Camden couldn't answer. "Español?" he repeated to Camden, Camden didn't know Spanish but he knew that Espanol meant something about Spain. No it was the Spanish word for Spain. No it was Spanish! Antonio must have been asking him if he knew Spanish.
"No, me no speak Spanish, me no Espanol" he explained in a slow voice.
"No Espanol?" Antonio repeated rather deflated.
"No" Camden concluded.
Antonio looked down defeated, Camden looked at him because of that mask covering his face it was impossible to tell how old he was he was rather short and fairly bulky, but that could have meant anything. With fresh wavy black hair and a single wide brown eye suggested he was young but his voice was very rugged and deep suggesting he could have been older. Camden put a bet on mid 30's as a wild guess on his age.
"So, now you two are done, Camden will you at least play?" Quincey pleaded.
Camden wanted to tell him how absolutely off his rocker he was But then he thought about it twice, there was no TV to keep them entertained. Added to the fact no one could get harmed by this, plus Quincey was trying to befriend him he was the only guy here around Quincey's age, So with a sigh he muttered with a smile "You're on, first one to ten wins!"
Half an hour later, Camden was fairly surprised at how fun this game had turned out to be Even Antonio joined in after ten minutes of watching "Nail-in-mouth" he said slowly, his English skills seemed very poor as he said it as he jabbed his tanned fingers at the zombies below.
"Yes! Yes! Nail-o in mouth-o" Quincey told him.
"Se cree que soy italiano?" Camden heard Antonio mutter to himself as he picked up a few nails.
Now nearly an hour into the game the three of them couldn't stop, Camden lagged behind at 3 successfully going down a zombie's gob while Quincey was on 5. They lost count of Antonio's count as It turned out (despite only having one eye focused because of his mask) he had the aim of a God and then some. He scored ten cheering at every strike that came one after another and he kept going, as Quincey and Camden battled against each other rather than him.
"His just lucky" Quincey muttered sourly, both he and Camden knew that wasn't the case the guy had a flare for this.
Another five minutes into the game Quincey suddenly yelled "ROSE!"
Camden nearly had a heart attack, as the small girl hiding behind the barricade sprung up behind it.
"What the hell are you doing by there! I told you stay away from it!" He yelled.
"I was watching you guys" she said digging her toe into the dimly reflective metal floor "Besides how did you know I was here" she whined.
"Because your pop went the weasel went off, that's how" Quincey told her as he grabbed a flower on her coat with his pale but large hand and pushed downwards and a faint melody of "Pop Goes The Weasel" began to play, a bit too light for Camden's ears over the hissing of the dead in the confined tube-shaped location of the staircase but it looked like Quincey overheard it.
"How long have you been here" he demanded from her, she finally met his eyes after a short lip biting pause "Since you started, I want to play too" She begged.
"Rose... you're too young for this" Quincey scolded her. "Am not! And they don't scare me! Because they can't get me!" She stamped her foot in frustration glaring at her older brother, after a tense staring contest Quincey finally gave in his shoulders slumped in an acceptance of defeat.
"Fine, you can stay here and watch, but promise me you won't go near that barricade again" he bargained. "Deal!" she sang before wrapping her arms around her older brother "You're the best big brother in the world Quince!"
"Geroff you little creep" Yet despite the comment, Quincey's smile was solid.
For the first 5 seconds, Rose was quiet.
"So you're not insane then?" she asked Camden innocently.
"No, I'm no boogeyman" Camden smiled.
"The boogeyman doesn't scare me, Quince just thinks it does because he dressed up as boogeyman the once when I was little. Well, when I was five and I screamed really loud but I'm braver now You know he dressed up as the boogeyman from WWE You know the one with the worms in his mouth...?"
"I'm sure he did" Camden said. Still trying to figure why he got this sense of deja vu from the rapidly talking small girl who didn't seem to pause for breath as she spoke.
"You're good at this" she told Antonio, not even finishing her earlier point to Camden. Antonio remained silent. "He doesn't speak English sis, we discussed this". Quincey said. "Well I know a bit of Spanish actually "una, dos, tres, cuatro..."
"Straight from Dora the Explorer" Quincey explained to Camden rolling his eyes.
Rose continued to babble as they played, eventually as Camden scored ahead because Quincey lost focus, he turned to Rose. "Rose, just... can't you go play with that other kid!? Were trying to play here and you're distracting me!" he snapped.
"Bradley only reads his bible, and all Stanley does is talk about football, and their both boys..."
"Well, were all boys" Quincey pointed out.
"Yeah, but she was seemed interested when she watched you earlier, so girls can play this" Rose said.
Quincey stiffened.
"Who?" he asked instantly.
"Well, that woman, you know the one with the curly hair and the one who speaks posh..."
"Delilah?" Camden answered a picture of her forming in his mind.
"Yeah" Rose beamed.
"What did, she do?" Quincey asked again.
"Well she just stood there behind the door for a while watching you guys and then she walked off..."
"If you're lying to me about this...!"
"I'm not! I promise I'm not!"
The game carried on for a little longer, neither Quincey nor Camden liking the idea of being watched without them realising it Rose was one thing but Delilah could have approached them. Why stay quiet? Was she shy? It was the most logical answer.
But in this scenario, you had to suspect the worst.
"Well, I'm beat" Quincey finally gave up on the game as Camden scored his tenth nail in the mouth. He walked out the door as Rose followed him nagging him on a new topic. Antonio followed shortly after him while Camden remained on the staircase for a little while longer staring down at the thousands of cruel white eyes, stained with flecks of Black Blood.
"At least you guys are predictable" he thought aloud.
Whereas people were not.
