What more can they do? Turns out, quite a lot. "It's been a fun ride," Rams running back Marshall Faulk said after St. Louis beat the New Orleans Saints 30-14 Sunday, becoming the first team in NFL history to go undefeated in their division a year after going winless in division play. For the second straight week, St. Louis also had a 300-yard passer in Hurt Warner, a 100-yard rusher in Faulk and two 100-yard receivers. Faulk scored two touchdowns and rushed for 154 yards. "We have some players playing good football, and there we go from 0-8 to 8-0 and still have a shot at home-field advantage all the way through the playoffs. That's what we're looking for," St. Louis coach Dick Vermeil said. More Rams Cl The Rams (11-2), who already have won the NFC West, have a two-game lead for clinching the best record in the NFC. They have three games to play. Warner completed 21 of 31 passes for 346 yards and two touchdowns, Isaac Bruce reached 1,000 yards receiving with four receptions for 102 yards, and Torry Holt caught six passes for 113 yards. "We were not trying to run up the score," Warner said. "We were just trying to run the ball up the gut and they happened not to be able to stop us. We're not going to take a knee with five minutes left." For the Saints (2-11), it was another bitter Sunday, playing before a scanty crowd in the cavernous Superdome.

Child abuse, neglect rates down Numbers 'still too high', official says By ANGELA MUELLER Telegraph staff writer Reported incidents of child abuse and neglect and infant deaths in Madison County have declined in recent years, according to the Illinois Kids Count report recently released by Voices for Illinois Children. Voices for Illinois Children, a non-profit children's advocacy group, prepares a report each year compiling statistics concerning children from the Department of Family and Children Services and other state agencies. According to this year's report, 1,000 cases of child abuse and neglect were reported in Madison County in 1998, 36 fewer than reported in 1997. Greene, Jersey, Calhoun and Macoupin counties also saw a decrease in reported child abuse and neglect cases. The rate of indicated reports of child abuse and neglect across Illinois decreased 9.1 percent from 1997 to 1998. Statewide, 32,668 incidents of abuse and neglect were reported in 1998.

With starting quarterback C.J. Brown lost for the season and a first-string safety out at least for the opener, the Maryland football team rested several other starters during Saturday's scrimamge and apparently escaped without significant injuries elsewhere .
Starting linebacker Kenny Tate watched the two-hour scrimmage from the sideline, at times with Matt Robinson, the starting strong safety whose arm was in a sling to stabilize his injured left shoulder.
Tate had knee surgery in the offseason that limited him to four games last year, but the senior has been participating in training camp since it began on Aug. 6.
Place kicker Nick Ferrara also sat out as Coach Randy Edsall evaluated other players at the position.
Among those hurt during the scrimmage was was backup safety A.J. Hendy, who began trainng camp at cornerback. Hendy moved to safety in a minor secondary shuffle triggered when Robinson was hurt in practice this week.
Hendy's injury, according to Edsall, was to the sophomore's ankle.
"I don't any of the severity yet," Edsall said. "We'll find out a little bit more tomorrow."
Junior reserve nose tackle Isaiah Ross, meantime, tweaked his hamstring and missed most of the scrimmage.
"When things like that happen today, there's no need for me to have those guys out there at this point in time," Edsall said. "They'll get a little bit of time off here, and hopefully most of those guys will be ready for Wednesday" when the team scrimmages again.

In representation, vitality and plain old charm, few can match Chinese depictions of animals in pottery and porcelain over the centuries. Becky MacGuire, the Chinese Export art specialist at Christie's, thinks she knows why.
''Somehow the Chinese are able to capture the essence of an animal without slavishly copying it,'' she said. ''It's almost like what Picasso did with his sculptures. The Chinese don't make hyper-realistic animals, but they capture the spirit of the beast, whether it's hawk-ness or tiger-ness or whatever.''
Jim Lally, owner of the J. J. Lally gallery in Manhattan, has his own view. ''By the 18th century, the Chinese seem to take a more playful approach to animal sculpture,'' he said. ''I think they have more fun with it. It's their take on the European fascination with the animal as a subject for art. They seemed to have been more and more freed up as European influences became stronger.''
The Chinese began creating animal pottery tomb figures more than 2,000 years ago. ''There's a long tradition of fascination with nature,'' Mr. Lally said, ''and a strong sculptural tradition of depicting animals with great accuracy that goes back to the Han.''Continue reading the main story
He is selling a pair of painted pottery ring-neck pheasants made as tomb figures in the Han dynasty (206 B.C. to A.D. 221). ''They are depicted quite accurately,'' he said. ''Anyone would recognize what they are.''
In the Tang period (A.D. 618 to 906), horses and camels became the favorite tomb figures. Things changed in the Song (A.D. 960-1279), when you begin to see purely decorative objects, like a ceramic water dropper in the form of a crouching toad. (Such a toad is for sale in London at the gallery Oriental Arts U.K.)
''At what point do you get not an effigy but an artist's rendering of what you want to have around the house?'' Mr. Lally asked. Few dare answer that question. Willow Hai Chang, director of the China Institute Gallery in New York, said Chinese potters were making small pottery animals as toys during the Tang dynasty, so you would think they would count as decorative.
Europeans didn't fall for Chinese animals until the 1700's, when they started scooping up Chinese Export birds, monkeys, horses, elephants, cats and dogs. A pair of Chinese Export pugs from the Qianlong period, circa 1760, are a good example of a China trade must-have. The pair are part of ''Fine French Furniture and Chinese Ceramics,''a new exhibition that opened on Wednesday at the Chinese Porcelain Company in Manhattan.
The dogs are seven inches tall, decorated in grisaille, with gray-and-white coats. Gilded bells hang from their identical iron-red collars. They are sitting on their haunches, gazing intently at the viewer, eyes raised expectantly. They look natural, but they don't resemble the pugs we see today. Their flat snouts are much too flat, almost as if they had just run into a wall. And their ears aren't compact and small; they hang alongside the head to the jaw line.
The pug is indigenous to China, so how could the Chinese have failed to capture it correctly? The answer is surprising.
European factories, seeing the popularity of Chinese Export animals, began to produce their own versions in the mid-1700's. ''A fascinating exchange of models and ideas occurred between the artisans of the East and West,'' said Conor Mahony, president of Chinese Porcelain (475 Park Avenue, at 58th Street). ''My pugs have smooched-up noses. They may have been made in China, but they were based on the 1741-45 Meissen pug by J. J. Kändler.''
Johann Joachim Kändler (1706-75), the greatest German porcelain modeler of all time, joined the Meissen factory in 1731 and became its top modeler from 1733 to 1775. He created human subjects -- commedia dell'arte actors, shepherds and courtiers -- as well as animals.
''Though executed on a small scale, they were never conceived as miniatures and avoid any suggestion of daintiness,'' John Fleming and Hugh Honour write in The Penguin Dictionary of Decorative Arts (Viking, 1989). ''Nor is there any touch of the mawkish about his fashionable, courtly lovers and no less elegant shepherds and shepherdesses -- they laugh with an uninhibited joie de vivre which animates all his figures (and which his imitators signally failed to catch).''
Kändler's pugs had cropped ears, the fashion of the day. The Chinese made theirs Chinese-style. ''The Chinese modified a European model to their own tastes,'' said Margaret Gristina, a director of the gallery.
Two older ceramic animals in the show are Han tomb decorations. A foot-tall pottery horse and male rider are from the Western Han dynasty, the second to first century B.C. The rider is pulling back his crossbow. With his head turned dramatically to one side, he is extraordinarily animated for a figure of this time.
A 10-inch-tall glazed stone vessel in the form of a well-modeled owl is also from the Han. ''It's very rare to see owl-form vessels,'' Mr. Mahony said. ''He is almost like a caricature of an owl, with a sturdy build, strong, piercing eyes, and owl-like properties.''
Another example at the gallery was created almost 2,000 years later: a 19th-century pair of 11-inch-tall horses with brown spots on biscuit coats. With brown and white appaloosa markings but lavender manes, they are purely decorative. Mr. Mahony, a former polo player, said the horses, each with one hoof raised and a smiling expression, might have been inspired by a painting.
As Ms. Gristina explains in the catalog: ''The countenances of these figures bear similarities in particular to the paintings by the famous Jesuit missionary the Rev. Giuseppe Castiglione. In fact, a particular painting of his, one of the four steeds of Ai-wu-han, may have been in the potter's mind when creating this pair.'' The painting is now owned by the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
Father Castiglione was an important adviser to Emperor Qianlong, who was only 24 when he assumed power in 1735. From 1747 to 1759, Father Castiglione helped him build a European palace in the style of Borromini. It survived until the early 19th century, when Europeans who wanted to punish the Chinese tore it down.
''Nothing remains of this extraordinary complex except some ruins and 16 copper-plate engravings that were executed by Chinese artists under the supervision of their Jesuit mentors,'' Michael Beurdeley and Guy Raindre write in ''Qing Porcelain'' (Rizzoli, 1987).
Nonetheless, the appaloosas survive, and they could not possibly be more Chinese.
''The perspective between Eastern and Western artists is so different, it may explain the differences in the portrayal of animals,'' said Ms. Chang, of the China Institute. ''We personalize our animals. We have a snake goddess, for example. We even have a clam deity. We try to give each animal a human quality.''Continue reading the main story

Breaking PointMature
Everyone was slumped around, panting. Jeremiah at the door, pressing furniture closer together to make a better barricade. Olivia in the corner glaring at Kyle, and Kyle doubled over, trying to catch his breath. "You really are a moron, you know that right?" Olivia sneered.
Kyle didn't reply he just fell over on his back, stretching out on the carpet. "I mean we had a clear path to the roof! Why didn't I leave you behind?!" Olivia shouted over the constant pounding at the door.
"Because he's charming," Jeremiah answered mockingly.
Olivia embarassed, she unclipped her gun, Kyle just frowned and turned his head away, gazing at a painting of Venice on the wall. "So what's the plan bud?" Olivia asked turning to Jeremiah.
"I honestly have no clue, the roof and the main floor seem equally difficult to get to," Jeremiah told slumping down on a sofa.
The doors paint beginning to crack, Olivia reloaded her shotgun with new shells. "Any bright ideas Kyle?" she asked sharply.
Kyle slowly pulled out his revolver and opened up the wheel, letting the rounds fall to the ground, and then proceeded to drop the gun itself. Olivia looked at him awestruck. "What the heck does that mean?" she asked angrily.
Aloofly, Jeremiah turned to her and answered. "It means he gives up. He throws in the towel. He no longer wants to fight. Is that what you want to do Kyle, quit?" Jeremiah asked.
Frowning, Kyle ran his fingers through his hair, and looked up at the ceiling silently. "You're unbelievable..." Olivia breathed.
Kyle cracked. "I'm unbelievable?! Who's all gun-hoing it here?! I was just fine at my little set up here. Food, water, gear and a suit for a rainy day. Now, I have frick all! I've been trying my best to get people out of here for the past 4 fricking months, not putting one thought towards my survival, just those of others. So don't you be questioning my actions, I'm just trying to get us all out alive! If I had it my way, we would already be on the roof, getting our asses out of the city!" Kyle shouted.
"That's where I was heading! YOU had to wait behind and use your little toy! You feel any more manly you little..."she trailed off.
"Wait, there's an exit on the roof?" Jeremiah asked.
"Yeah. I've set up what can pass as network of bridges across the rooftops. Just ladders really, but certainly useful, I told you about it the other day," Kyle told looking down the barrel of his gun.
"Well why didn't you guys leave?! You could have gotten out!" Jeremiah shouted.
"I was NOT leaving without you. I've had enough failures to last a lifetime," Kyle told clicking the trigger.
A bang was then heard, not from Kyle's gun, but from a determined zombie trying to get up close and personal with the last 3 people in the city.

A vast wasteland of churned-up earth – this was the Olympic Park site yesterday with four years to go before the 2012 Games.
The budget may be soaring – it now stands at £9.3billion – but the Olympic Delivery Authority was keen to show that construction work is marching ahead.
With a flourish, it released this photograph of the East London site, taken from 2,000ft, to mark the countdown to the opening ceremony on Sunday July 27, 2012.
Empty: The disused industrial site with pin-pointers showing where sites will be
Across the 2.5 square mile site – the size of Hyde Park – some of the main venues are at last emerging from the mud and rubble. . .
1. Olympic Stadium
The distinctive bowl-shaped stadium is taking shape at the centre of the picture.
Work on the foundations began ahead of schedule last month, despite fears that the budget for the 80,000-capacity venue will rise again to £525million – more than double the 2004 estimate.
The stadium will cover an area of 40 acres, five times the size of the Houses of Parliament and will be 174ft high, which is taller than Nelson's Column at 164ft.
Showpiece: How the 80,000-capacity Olympic Stadium will look once completed
Enough soil has been taken from the stadium site to fill the Albert Hall nine times over and 33 buildings have been demolished to make room for it.
After the games, it is hoped the flagship building will leave the area with a world-class track venue.
2. Aquatics Centre
The aquatics centre was intended to be the most eye-catching building in the park, a symbol of the London bid's ambition.
With its wave-shaped roof rising to 115ft, it was the only design unveiled before the capital won the contest in 2005 and played its part in convincing the International Olympic Committee that London had big ideas for the Games
But style has come at a steep price. It was originally costed at £73million but the current bill is £303million.
Flawed: The Aquatic Centre's proposed waved, wooden roof has been criticised
Earlier this month, it emerged that organisers ignored warnings that the swimming pool building had serious design flaws.
They were warned that the pool's proposed wooden ceiling would need a great deal of maintenance, exacerbated by the moist conditions inside.
They were also warned costs to convert it to a public venue after the Games could spiral out of control, but they decided to press ahead with the plan by architect Zaha Hadid.
3. Olympic Village
Work is yet to start on the athletes' village which has been compared to a Soviet-style concrete jungle.
Conservative Olympics spokesman Andrew Boff has said the high-rise Sovietstyle blocs will create a 'hostile environment' for residents.
It will contain several 12-storey buildings and four 30-storey towers despite International Olympics Committee regulations that athletes can only be housed in buildings eight storeys high.
Towers: Four 30-storey buildings will be built - 22 higher than athletes can live in under Olympic regulations
The £1billion village also faces a cash crisis because Australian developer Lend Lease is struggling to raise its half-share in the public-private scheme.
4. Transport
One train approximately every 15 seconds will serve the park, carrying 240,000 people per hour by rail. Central London to Olympic Park will take just seven minutes.
Travelling to the Games daily will be 50,000 athletes, officials, media, 140,000 staff and volunteers and an estimated 500,000 spectators.
Overhaul: A tube train, bicycles, the new Javelin train and a bus in Stratford, east London, where a new international station will be built
In total, ten rail lines will serve the park, including the seven-minute Javelin service from St Pancras.
5. Paralympics
Eton Manor sports centre has been demolished to make way for a venue designed by architects Stanton Williams.
It will have 10,500 seats for wheelchair tennis and 2,000 spectator seats for paralympic archery.
Eton Manor will also act as a training area for athletes during the Olympic Games.
Specially-designed: The Eton Manor centre will include a 10,500-seat wheelchair tennis venue
After the Games, the venue will become an indoor tennis centre, hockey stadium and five-a-side football venue.
6. Media Centre
The £400million media centre is likely to get significant private sector investment.
There is a possibility of a deal with developers Carillion/Igloo.
But there have been reports that the consortium has struggled to raise its £150million share of the funding.
Under the public-private model, the developers will effectively lease the building to Olympics chiefs for the Games and sell it off as a 'media hub' after 2012.
7. Velopark
The £80million Velopark, made up of a Velodrome and BMX Circuit is to be designed by a consortium of architects.
During the Games, the permanent 6,000-seat Velodrome will host the indoor Olympic and Paralympic Cycling events.
Dizzying: How the inside of the new Velopark will look
The BMX Circuit will be a permanent BMX track but the 6,000 seats will be removed after the Games.
8. Hockey Centre
It will have two separate pitches, with spectator seating and it will also be used for paralympic five-aside and seven-a-side football.
The search for designers has started, while the site is being cleared and prepared for construction.
After the Games, the Hockey Centre will be moved to the north of the Olympic Park.
9. Handball
The design for this arena, which will host handball during the Olympics and goalball in the Paralympic Games, is due to be chosen later this year.
After the Games it will be adapted to become a multi-sport arena for community use and athlete training.
10. Basketball
Designers have been appointed and planning applications are due to be submitted in November.
The temporary arena will have 12,000 seats, but after the Games it will be taken down and relocated elsewhere in the UK.
It is hoped the entire Olympic site is to be ready for test events by summer 2011.
How the Chinese have done: Beijing's Olympic Stadium, nicknamed the Bird's nest
But the mayor's adviser David Ross has warned that a 'perfect storm' of global financial issues, the terror threat and the rising cost of raw materials could break the £9.3billion budget.
Earlier this month, Olympic Delivery Authority chairman John Armitt said the agency had hit its ten 'Milestones to Beijing' in the past 12 months – including demolishing 192 buildings, excavating a million tons of soil and laying 125 miles of power cables.
ODA chief executive David Higgins said the picture showed 'the good rate of progress we are making with work now well under way on both the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Centre.
'We are right on track with preparations'.

Alan was my lawyer during a very difficult period of my life. He treated me with kindness and dignity. He responded quickly to questions/concerns that I had. Alan is very knowledgeable. He made me feel well-represented which, in turn, quieted my nerves in an otherwise unnerving situation. Not only did he help me inside the courtroom, but he made me aware of additional help I might need. I was very grateful to have him by my side.

Innovation and Transfer of Results of Energy
The present study, carried out by TECHNOFI, ICON and ZABALA, aims at providing answers to four closely related questions asked by the managers of the European Commission's Directorate-General (DG) Research in the field of Non-Nuclear Energy (NNE) research.
These questions relate to knowledge transfer and innovation processes which make use of outputs of publicly funded research projects in order to reach market applications, as described below.
Knowledge (or technology) transfer is the process of detecting, developing and validating the potential for practical and profitable applications of the results of scientific and technological research.
Innovation is the process of developing, industrialising and profitably selling those products or services, which may have benefited from scientific and technology research. Generally speaking, knowledge (or technology) transfer processes are embedded in innovation processes.
Recent findings in several economic sectors, including energy 1, have shown that there is a poor correlation between levels of private companies' RTD funding and the resulting effectiveness of their innovation process 2. Innovation processes are indeed very often inhibited by interfacial barriers 3 that impede new knowledge gained in RTD projects from reaching market applications: these barriers either exist naturally, as is the case with people's resistance to change, or are artificially created, as seen in the national technological standards inherited from a century of industrial growth in the European energy sector.
The present study and the resulting answers to the above questions are, therefore, based on three critical assumptions.
Improvements concerning the questions studied must give priority to the removal of interfacial barriers, seeking a collective agreement about those most relevant to the innovation processes in the energy sector
The present work aims mainly at pinpointing a list of the most prominent barriers based on a desk analysis of RTD public support measures at EC level and within several Member States, namely Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. The desk analysis searched for public support measures that have identified and addressed the removal of one or several interfacial barriers with demonstrable results.
Those applications which are capable of reaching the market will combine a portfolio of technologies 4 and a portfolio of business models 5. It is assumed that the selected business models have addressed the removal of critical interfacial barriers adequately
Numerous energy and industrial policy scenario studies 6, both at Member State and EU level, pinpoint the need for energy players to validate robust technology portfolios in order to shape the future European energy landscape. The present study focuses on a few technologies to which EC funding has contributed, to build meaningful technology portfolios, above and beyond what is funded within Member States:
These technologies, once developed successfully, are embedded in the portfolios of technology manufacturers and energy companies, most likely in line with industrial and energy policies of Member States.
Not only the liberalisation of energy markets, the response to the EU directives and to the Kyoto protocol, but also tensions in the fossil fuel markets simultaneously require the development and validation of robust business models. Here, a business model is a validated technology exploitation plan at manufacturer or energy company level, which enables the most successful technologies to add commercial value to existing businesses. New business models must therefore address the removal of critical interfacial barriers, in order to guarantee effective sales of the new knowledge. Because of the future uncertainty of energy markets worldwide, manufacturers and/or energy companies combine their portfolios of technologies and business models to augment the number of value options they can sell to their clients.
The first proposal arising out of the present study is that the construction of such portfolios needs a shift in the balance of public intervention at EU level. Technology push approaches (typical of the last twenty years of the 20th century) should migrate towards more market-oriented, integrated approaches, where the players are offered ways and means to circumvent existing (and possibly new) interfacial barriers. Thus, technology manufacturers as well as energy and network companies will identify opportunities to add value to their businesses and create technology pull approaches.
The above shift in approaches will impact both technology development cycles (emerging versus growing/mature technology) and the types of RTD projects (technology problem-solving versus market-driven integration). EU RTD funding is then left with the four major options shown below.
Care must be taken in extrapolating good innovation practices from past business models, since a whole new set of players will appear in the coming years across Europe; this will encourage new and market-based approaches to innovation in energy technologies
Future business models will inevitably involve new sets of energy players, resulting from the policy goals of market liberalisation, unbundling of energy companies and the full application of the 1996 IEM (Integrated Energy Market) Directive (Directive 96/92/EC) by Member States. The advent of new players will most probably mean new interfacial barriers. One must therefore take care when translating past good innovation practices into future promising approaches. Only recent results obtained since the IEM Directive implementation and dealing with effective technology transfer (TT) or innovation processes should be considered: most of them rely on open innovation approaches, i.e. approaches in which networking among players allows the removal of interfacial barriers as early as possible in the innovation process, and of course, within the early RTD stages.
Combining the above assumptions and reviewed measures both at the EU and Member State level has led to the identification of the following interfacial barriers. It is the removal of such barriers which will help propose improvements.
This overall picture of future energy innovation processes has been provided to more than 60 experts in Europe. These experts have been interviewed at length, and their responses requested, in relation to the following three issues.
All interviewed players first stressed the need to simplify the application procedures for research proposals and contract management at EU level. Any new measure must avoid increasing the apparent 'bureaucracy' of EU RTD funding, while giving energy innovators the options of applying for and using public funds at regional, Member State or EU level, in the smoothest possible way.
All the barriers described above have been confirmed as critical for those innovation processes in the energy sector supported by EU (and very often by Member States) public measures. A thorough review of such public measures at Member State level led to the identification of 15 recommendationsto improve public support measures, and in so doing, to respond to the 3 questions listed above.
It is worth noting that several of the recommendations push for the involvement of the following new players at EU level that will be able to effectively contribute towards the removal of interfacial barriers:
Overall, these recommendations contribute towards reinforcing the role of the three 'classical' pillars that characterise successful public support of innovation processes:
Nonetheless, this study recommends that any public authority within the EUdealing with energy research should rely on a fourth pillar in the years ahead, as shown in the diagram below.
This pillar addresses the design of public support measures which will demonstrably help to reduce or remove the interfacial barriers preventing knowledge gained using public funds from reaching market application. Indeed, reducing the number of interfaces, while admirable in this regard, will nevertheless run counter to the general trends of liberalisation and unbundling that are being introduced for broader reasons across the energy sector. Liberalisation and unbundling inevitably introduce new players and therefore new interfacial barriers.
Facing this paradoxical situation will require measures of research and development (R&D) public support to accompany the validation of energy technologies. The participation of the key energy market players here is a prerequisite:
1 Jaruzelski, B., Dehoff, K., Bordia R., 'The Booz Allen Hamilton Global Innovation 1000: Money Isn't Everything', Strategy and Business, No 41, Winter 2005.
2 Effectiveness of the innovation process means the capability of innovation managers to bring innovative products, services or business models on time and within budget to profitable market applications.
3 Interfacial barriers (as part of the so-called micro barriers to the diffusion of new energy technologies) may arise from behavioural, cultural, environmental, financial, human capacity, legal, political, institutional, and technological factors. These micro barriers can be identified and addressed directly through focused, committed actions from individual stakeholders.
4 A portfolio of technologies is a coherent set of technical solutions to meet customer needs.
5 A portfolio of business models is the description of business channels and investment requirements which are needed to generate a profitable stream of revenues from new knowledge.
6 It must be emphasised that this study is at the crossroads of industrial policies in the energy sector (with a few Member States very active on the world technology scene) and energy policies (with all the Member States having their own opinions and positions on the future energy landscape of Europe).

Yellow Elephant
If the City of Lost Children was a real place, this group would certainly hail from there. With an aesthetic that recalls Self-Non-Self-era Cranes with elements of early Laurie Anderson, Yellow Elephants hypnotic drones and musique concrète/found-sound take on pop is not like much of anything today, but rather artistically kindred to the latest wave of neo-tribal and lo-fi post-punk bands such as Modern Witch and Blank Dogs. There is a cinematic quality to the groups music that suggests impressionist paintings cast upon the air to shimmer and fade, replaced by equally vivid images of a paradoxically haunting and soothing quality. While still a new outfit, Yellow Elephant (due at the Denver Zine Library, 1644 Platte Street, this Saturday, November 15) has forged a compellingly unique musical identity thats not easy to forget.

My family had a great time even with zero snow, my son made friends with the deer, and the house fit all our needs, the only draw back was fireplace wasn't working and the own garbage dumping was a bit of a hasel, but over all great time
We loved the place, it was clean, relaxing, & a lot of fun. We will definitely plan to come back again. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with.
My family stayed at this home in July.Pete couldn't have been any nicer,a great genuine guy,that was there for anything we needed. We all loved the lake with the swimming and the boats! We even got to feed the deer,we definitely will be back! Thanks again Pete for giving us a great relaxing vacation. If you need a good pizza place, ask Adrian ! 😃
One of the best choices out in Poconos. I have rented this house recently with my friends for Memorial weekend for the first time. We are professional young people from NYC. Always rent several same houses for years in different areas in Poconos. Unfortunately one of our regular places was not longer available and we had to find another house we could use on regular basis. I have browsed around VRBO, FlipKey, Home Away, AirBnB and bunch other websites, spoke to nearly 50 homeowners and felt most comfortable with this house. I have made a request via this ad and Peter have replied instantly to me. He was very patient with all my questions. After few days of back and forth I decided to go for it and made a payment. When we arrived, the property looked even better then on pictures. The end of May is always beautiful in Poconos, very green and alive. It's located in a really nice community. House itself was clean and beautifully designed. Clean rooms, huge kitchen, dining area with big table that fits 6 people and can be extended to probably 10 people, nice living room. The main treat is the lake. Private pier makes a huge difference. We used boats to go around a lake which also has a small private sand beach, did fishing, had our breakfasts, lunches and dinners outside next to the lake. To summarize our experience, this place has left the biggest impression out of all places we have been before in Poconos. We even joked with friends to make Peter an offer to buy this house, that's how much we enjoyed it. Will definitely come back here again for a superb quality getaway rest. And by the way my deposit was returned 3 days after we checked out as promised.
The home is much larger than you expect. It is clean, spacious, and perfect for a ski weekend because it is close to the ski resorts. The home is also a short drive away from grocery stores or anything else that you may need. I am considering booking a stay for the warmer weather as well. Peter, the manager of the property, also provided excellent and responsive customer service.
Recently stayed for long weekend. The house was beautiful and very well maintained. Beautiful surroundings and the house is in ideal proximity of camelback, outlets, casino and restaurants/pubs. The owner Peter could not have been any nicer. Will definitely rent again!

Unemployment benefits for Katrina and Rita evacuees start coming to an end this weekend. Some public policy officials are calling on Congress to extend the benefits for another 13 weeks. Houston Public Radio's Capella Tucker reports
At the peak about a couple hundred-thousand evacuees received federal disaster unemployment benefits. Nine months after the storm, that number is down to 83-thousand who have not yet found jobs.
"It's not that we are not trying. There are very few jobs at my age. I can't lift enough weight to be a stock clerk, I can't stay on my feet long enough to be a waitress."
Sharon Bendtsen is living in a FEMA trailer on her property in Louisiana and is currently receiving about 200 dollars a week for unemployment benefits. Bendtsen, who is a school teacher, has been looking for a job ever since returning to New Orleans eight weeks after the storm.
"Our first ray of hope on getting a job is the state recovery district which intends to open 38 schools at the end of August here in New Orleans. I have already applied to them. The job fair for those jobs will not happen until July and the jobs themselves will not start until the end of August."
It's stories like Bendtsen's that have some calling on Congress to extend the federal disaster unemployment benefits. Katrina unemployment benefits have been extended once already. National Employment Law Project Deputy Director Andrew Stetner says there's precedent for extending them again.
"Congress has provided a 26 week of extension of unemployment benefit to especially hard hit populations in the past. For example, after 9-11 a special unemployment program was established for airline workers who had lost their jobs because of the terrorist attacks. This program provided a 39 week extension of unemployment benefits."
About 26,000 Katrina evacuees and about 1,000 Rita evacuees who have been receiving benefits live in Texas. Center for Public Policy Priorities Analyst Don Baylor points out that the unemployment benefits are ending at a time when other programs, such as housing vouchers, are also ending.
"To a large degree Texas has not been fully reimbursed not only for the services provided during Hurricane Katrina, but also for the impact of Hurricane Rita. So for unemployment benefits to end at this point, it would further strain Texas public services."
Baylor says evacuees have had a number of problems trying to get jobs … including employers reluctant to hire evacuees because they'll be leaving to go back home. Others have had problems getting necessary documents, such as birth certificates and professional licenses, from agencies in Louisiana in order to complete hiring forms in other states. Congress returns next week and public policy analysts say lawmakers could vote then on the legislation to extend the benefits. Capella Tucker, Houston Public Radio News.

Short-term online life counselling: Change your life and increase your confidence
Do you have changes that you want to make in life? Do you already know what they are - or are they difficult to identify? Do you feel unable to make the changes you know you want to? What is stopping you?
Some of these questions will be easier to answer than others. For some, identifying the change can be easy, others simply know that change is wanted. The most difficult question to answer is 'what is stopping you?'
You might only know that something is stopping you from reaching your full potential - whatever that might be, a promotion, a career change, relationship changes, studies, overcoming social anxiety... the list can be endless.
if you want change but find it difficult to know where to start and how to keep the enthusiasm going then life counselling is for you. Life counselling helps you identify the areas you want change, it identifies how this change can be achieved. It then uses counselling skills to identify the unconscious obstacles that are blocking you - those things that you struggle to understand - the things that seem to 'stop' you.
Life counselling differs from coaching in that it works with the very areas that conventional coaching does not - your inner invisible drive and motivation and the defenses that sometimes stops you from achieving the change you want.
Rather than only identify your goals and the how to achieve them, it helps you overcome and understand the reasons behind any fears, excuses or reticence and this allows for lifelong change and confidence building.
By working with an experienced, qualified counsellor or psychotherapist you can change your life, understand your drives and barriers and increase your confidence.
Using the Dynamic Causation Approach life counselling can help you get the life change you want - and keep it. Online life counselling can fit into your daily life - all sessions are online - either via Skype video, Skype talk, or email.
This means it can fit into your daily life easily, no added travel time. Email life counselling also means that there are no appointments to keep, you have more time to think and reflect about your goals, obstacles and solutions.
For more information, or to find out if this is the right approach for you, contact me to book a free initial Skype meeting to discuss how the process works.
Costs per session £55. No minimum session requirement - some people find that identifying their goal and unconscious barriers is enough, most want to see the process to its successful end.
About the host
Claire McRitchie is an experienced qualified pschodynamic psychotherapist and an accredited member of BACP. Founder of the short-term solution focused DCT approach, she has worked successfully with many clients to help them achieve the life change they want.

Nintendo delighted Pokemon fans today, by releasing a new video trailer for the forthcoming remakes of classic Gameboy Advance titles Sapphire and Ruby.
The new games, given an HD update for Nintendo's 3DS console, will be called Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
The games will launch on November 21st in Japan, and a week later in the west.
The two pokemon on the game's cover have been confirmed to be Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, updated versions of pokemon from the original games.
"These two extremely powerful Pokémon clashed in an epic battle that once sent Groudon into a long slumber within the magma beneath the planet's crust and drove Kyogre into a deep sleep at the bottom of the ocean floor," said a Nintendo spokesperson.
"The awesome transformation is a result of Primal Reversion, when Groudon and Kyogre reclaim their original power from nature's energy and obtain even greater power than they already have."

Other observations of Forget-me-not (Myosotis)
Species with which Forget-me-not (Myosotis) interacts
Identifying Myosotis species
1 July 2013 - 6:58am Plymouth Phil
First we see that the calyx hairs are appressed. Then, looking at the calyx lobes, we see that they are longer than wide (forming an isosceles triangle with base shorter than sides).
Then the problems start because we have to see if the lower part of the stem has patent hairs (ie sticking out sideways rather than appressed) which I can't make out from your photos. If the lower stem has patent hairs, it is Myosotis secunda, Creeping Forget-me-Not (ignoring the rare M. alpestris). But M. secunda has long pedicels, eventually 2.5-5x as long as fruiting calyx. Your plant doesn't look to have long pedicels so we can say that M. secunda is unlikely.
If the stem has only appressed hairs, then it will be either M. stolonifera, Pale Forget-me-Not or M. laxa, Tufted Forget-me-Not. We can go a bit further because M. stolonifera is a rare plant of Northern England and Southern Scotland and as you found your plant in Herefordshire, we can forget M. stolonifera. That just leaves M. laxa so I will stick my neck out (just a little) and say that your plant is probably M. laxa, Tufted Forget-me-Not.
Thanks for that - I'll have

The Meaning and Misuse of "Fundamentalism" in the Press
Not every Christian is a Fundie
There is an interesting post on the Get Religion blog entitled "The Ancient Church Fathers and the AP Stylebook" about the use of the phrase "fundamentalists" in the press. As I have noted several million times, it is my view that anyone who takes their faith seriously is called a "fundamentalist" by the press, but the writer (Doug LeBlanc) points out that the term is both limited and misused.
So many people use this word as an all-purpose way of saying that someone is stupid. Fact is, I have met brilliant people who, accurately, could be described as Christian fundamentalists. And they don't handle snakes. Some of them hold doctrates from presitigious academic operations in Europe and other smart zip codes.
The bottom line: When used in a Christian context -- and you can make a case that this is the only context in which to use it -- the term "fundamentalist" has specific doctrinal and even historical content.
But, first, may the journalists in our midst draw swords (this is an evangelical or fundamentalist cultural reference) and open their copies of the bible of deadline journalism. I refer, of course, to the Associated Press Stylebook. There you will find the following passage of authoritative material:
"fundamentalist: The word gained usage in an early 20th century fundamentalist-modernist controversy within Protestantism. In recent years, however, fundamentalist has to a large extent taken on pejorative connotations except when applied to groups that stress strict, literal interpretations of Scripture and separation from other Christians.
"In general, do not use fundamentalist unless a group applies the word to itself."
In addition to that last sentence, it is important to note that AP takes the history of the word seriously.
The vague words in this reference are "strict, literal interpretations of Scripture." I get the impression these days that there are legions of journalists who think that applies to anyone who clings to all of the Ten Commandments. True "fundamentalism" is a product of the early 20th Century, which means it certainly is not a word to describe people who are defending basic Christian doctrines and sacraments. Someone is not a "fundamentalist" simply because they believe in a creedal doctrine such as the Second Coming of Christ or that salvation is through Jesus alone. It is bad journalism to use the term in such a context.
Of course, "fundamentalism" (or the more cute-sounding "fundie") are not the only terms used in the press for Christians who take their faith seriously. Try "extremists" as another example. If you are against abortion, it certainly cannot be because you believe that abortion kills an innocent human being and have a principled stand against it. No, you must be an "anti-family extremist" (at least according to Planned Parenthood). If you are against homosexual marriage, it cannot be because you have concerns about the decline of the family and the effect same-sex marriage may have on that decline. No, you must be a "conservative" or "right wing extremist" (at least according to the National Organization for Women) despite the fact a majority in this country oppose same sex marriage.
These phrases are all, in fact, ad hominems which should be eliminated from the discussion since they only serve to wrongly demonize the opposition. But then, I always hope for too much in this area.

Extinguishing Flames of the World.
End of days, not elaborated upon.
Wrapped up in your smile
I see the end of days
Reflected in your twinkling eyes
Ive died to many ways.
The breathe comes ragged from my chest
Which has been torn asunder,
The answering cry comes from above
Echoed in the thunder.
A glance around this wasted plain
Reflected by my soul
Reveals to me mind as 'sane'
Must become my foremost goal.
The ash that's raining from the sky
And the wind that blows it round
Have become my only witness
To the hell in which Im found.
I never thought this mortal flesh
Was a prison to which we're held
But now that I am free'd from it
I clamber from its shell.
The shifting wind grabs my form hazey as it be,
Towards the heavens I am propelled
The extinguishing flames of the world,
All that the eye can see.

Combine as maravilhas naturais e culturais das Berkshires por férias neste charmoso, casa de campo originais de pinho nodoso uma curta caminhada para a natação e passeios de barco no belo Lago Buel. Esta casa tem um grande (22x6 ft) Alpendre, uma sala de estar 13x13 pés com lareira a gás, um novo up-datado comer na cozinha com geladeira nova, nova casa de banho com banheira, uma máquina de lavar / secar roupa, dois quartos 9x10 pés cada e um gazebo, mobília do pátio, grill e churrasco no quintal witha blindado vem com uma canoa e caiaque para dois passeios de barco no lago.
My one vacation this summer was to Terry's cottage and it was a perfect getaway. My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights and it was so relaxing and just what we needed. Just steps away (literally) from the lake where we kayaked and swam, and a short drive into town. We ate breakfast on the screened in porch every morning and at night we rented movies from the nearby Redbox and did one of the puzzles that is on the bookcase.
So nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of your every day life and allow yourself to enjoy peace and quiet. We would absolutely recommend this cottage as a vacation spot, it was clean, simple and cozy. Oh and while you're there, be sure to eat at Xicohtencatl mexican restaurant- it's on my list of top 5 restaurants ever!
Our family of 5 loved our stay at this cottage - where we also stayed for a week in December. The location is very convenient for skiing at Butternut. The cottage includes everything a family might need: kitchen basics, washer/dryer, extra linens, etc. The gas fireplace is excellent and "hit the spot." The cottage is very comfortable with an overall charming and lovely feel. A great value in the Berkshires!
The property is rustic but the amenities include all that is needed for a perfect vacation. We found the cabin in excellent condition and we were able to use the provided canoe to enjoy the lake. Looking forward to returning.
This cottage definitely met expectations! The gas fireplace was also a cozy nice tough. The reclining chairs were also incredibly relaxing. The property is a very brief walk to a gorgeous lake and not a long drive from surrounding towns. Terry is very responsive and kind - i'd recommend this place to anyone.
The cabin was clean and well appointed with almost anything needed for basic cooking. We really appreciated the air conditioner during the heat wave. With a 14-year-old dog who could not take off her fur coat, it was very helpful to us all.
Terry was very responsive the couple times we called with questions. He does not live nearby but you might not notice because he is so attentive.
While the cabin does not have a lake view, the short walk there introduced us to several of the locals who were all friendly and offered valuable suggestions for places to go in Great Barrington.
We enjoyed a lovely canoe ride on the lake with our dog, and got some fishing in. When it was too warm to go for a hike on one of the many trails withing a short driving distance, we chilled out in the cabin with books or a game of scrabble on my tablet. The internet connection is very helpful. Cell phones do not work there but the landline is available.
The easy drive to Great Barrington introduced us to a happening little city. There are so many art shows and plays going on we almost regretted bringing our dog because we did not want to leave her in the cabin if there was a thunderstorm and we could not leave her in the Outback in the heat. We were able to bring her to the Farmer's Market, which was fun. They have music and it is a great festival atmosphere.
South of the cabin, on the way to one of our hikes, we discovered the New Boston Tavern at the intersection of Rt 57 and Rt 8. We asked the proprietor if we could sit outside on the patio with our dog and she invited all of us in to the historic building. We ate yummy food in the authentic colonial tavern and she brought us a water bowl for the pooch. I wanted to go back later for the recipe because she gave our dog homemade dog biscuits that finally got our dog to eat in the heat. Fabulous! She gave us several free and then we bought some.
When a cool front came in with some rain, we did eat out without the dog at a really nice Mexican place, Xicohtencatl. There seemed to be many authentic dishes on the menu, not Tex-Mex.
We really enjoyed our introduction to the Berkshire's and look forward to staying at Terry's cabin this fall.
Wonderful weekend! Thanks for the hospitality.
