Project Pandora
It is 1974. The Cold War has gone on for years and shows no sign of stopping. Humanity is scared and hopeless. Dr. Richard M. Goldsmith can't save the millions of people across the globe, but maybe he can do the next best thing. Follow Richard as he spearheads Project Pandora. A project with one goal and one goal only; keeping humanity alive.
August 10, 1974
Dr. Richard M. Goldsmith,
Pandora was founded as a precaution, a safeguard against the terrors of our twentieth century. We have sent you to the depth of the ocean floor, the only place safe from nuclear threat. Two years ago, our good friend successfully covered up this secret project, and just yesterday felt the repercussions for his actions. He may have fallen, but he successfully kept Pandora safe; he kept you safe. Do not fail him. History will record him as the one who resigned, the one who failed, but you and I both know the truth. You have been enlisted for an undoubtedly insurmountable task. You have spent the greater portion of your life on this project and I trust that it is in good hands. As your Commander-in-Chief, but more importantly, as your friend, I give you one objective and one objective only: at all costs, keep humanity alive.
President Gerald R. Ford
P.S. Quit smoking, Richard - it's a nasty habit.
Chapter 1: Dr. Richard M. Goldsmith Sr.
Richard Goldsmith woke up suddenly. The same haunting dream every night. He couldn't breathe. Gasping for breath that never seemed to be there. He could taste the metal in the air. It was so—artificial. He rolled over to check his clock, squinting to catch the blurry black hands orbiting the white surface. He silently cursed as he realized there was the perfect amount of time left where he couldn't decide what to do. He could try and go back to sleep until it rang or he could get out of bed and have an extra three minutes to get ready. Not liking either option, Richard laid silent, motionless for the remaining time, staring at the cement ceiling. Three minutes felt like hours as he checked the clock every few seconds only to realize it had hardly even changed.
After an eternity had seemingly passed, the alarm pierced the air and his hand sprung forward, swatting the alarm clock like a fly. A fly?— He couldn't believe that he actually missed having to swat flies away. He remembered waving his hand in front of his face only to have the same bug annoyingly return every few seconds as if he had nothing better to do. He missed that? Richard crammed this thought into the back of his mind, he didn't care much for useless information. He had much more important matters to attend to. Richard swung his legs to the side of the bed as his muscled arm reached for his glasses. Considering his built frame and strong jaw, the glasses seemed like they always did—out of place. Richard's military cut and hairy upper lip did not help them look any more at home. Richard brought the frames to the bridge if his nose and started his morning routine; the same one he had followed for the last decade. Well, eleven years to be exact.
5:00 Wake up; get dressed
Richard quickly grabbed his Nikes from underneath his bed. His knees popped as he slipped the shoes on. He was thrilled to get the latest model of the Nike Waffle Trainers before he left. They fit perfectly on his feet. The dark blue mesh material contrasted sharply with the bright yellow checkmark streaked on either side of each shoe. The sole was covered in square-shaped rubber, now quite worn from many miles of use. Rumor had it that Bill Bowerman made the first pair of Nike Trainers on a waffle iron that he had stolen from his wife's kitchen, giving the shoes their iconic name and simultaneously landing him a spot on the couch. Richard chuckled, guessing every guy had a nasty habit that their lady could nag on about. By now, Richard had criss-crossed the white shoelaces into perfect loops and was ready to go.
5:02 Morning jog
Bounding out the door and down the hall, Richard's jog seemed as easy as ever. He savored every step as he ran down the spacious corridor. In less than an hour, the corridor would be filled with personnel, making the word "spacious" seem like part of a foreign language. Richard could still remember his very first jog like it was yesterday. Believe it or not, he had read about jogging in the newspaper. Apparently, it was the newest health craze that had started in New Zealand and was slowly trotting its way across the globe. Eleven years later, Richard was still going strong. Stronger than ever, actually. To keep the run interesting, he used the stairs to cover all five floors of the cement block, ending right where he started. Four miles in thirty-two minutes wasn't too bad for a man of his age.
5:34 150 push ups
Richard opened the door to his quarters, took two steps inside, and immediately dropped to the floor. Fifty push-ups. Minute rest. Fifty push-ups. Minute rest. Fifty push-ups. Richard quickly stood and realized one-hundred and fifty push-ups was getting too easy. He briefly considered cutting a minute from his breakfast or shower to add in another set of fifty, but continued on with his routine.
5:39 Shower; get dressed
Richard walked over to his turntable and put on his favorite disc, Hot Five by Louis Armstrong. He payed careful attention to place the needle right where track six started, and began scatting along as if he were Louis himself. The first day Richard arrived on Pacifus, he had found the turntable waiting for him on his bunk. It was a pleasant surprise, as the model was not supposed to come out for quite some time. Attached was a personal note from the President. Richard hopped into and out of the shower like it was a race and winning was of the utmost importance. He took his time trimming his speckled brown mustache and eventually donned his coat and tie. He took one glance in the mirror, adjusted his glasses, and headed into the kitchen.
5:46 Breakfast
Richard opened his refrigerator and took out his rations for the day's breakfast: 3 eggs and 2 pieces of toast. He ignited the old gas stove and just five minutes later, he sat at his desk eating while reviewing his agenda for the day. He carefully glanced over his speech for the afternoon's celebration, mentally making minor changes throughout. He quickly reviewed the credentials of his new Chief Engineer Steven A. Polster. He hated to admit it, but Richard was quite impressed with the Polster's past works.
5:56 Smoke
Louis' trumpet was still gliding its way across the room and Richard couldn't help but hum along to the familiar tune. He glanced up at the clock and set aside his speech and Polster's resume. He opened the bottom drawer of his desk and pulled out the only thing able to get him through each day. Cigarette in hand, Richard closed his eyes and puffed away.
"If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times. You are not smoking that in this kitchen." Paula was used to their daily banter by now, but she knew if she didn't bring it up, her husband would be smoking in her kitchen every morning at precisely 5:56.
"It's only one, dear." Richard mumbled, cigarette in mouth, paper in hand.
"I told you this yesterday morning and the morning before that. One cigarette will stink up this house. One cigarette a day? That's seven a week and three hundred sixty five a year. See? You're not the only smart one here, Doctor Richard." Paula said with a playful wink.
"Multiple studies have shown that they are perfectly healthy. After all, I am the doctor in this house." Richard shot back with a wink of his own.
"Every day, Richard? At 5:56? And in our new house? The back patio has a lovely view… Plus, Little Richie always gets upset when you smoke on my new sofa." Paula smiled while patting her oversized stomach. She knew it was a lie, and so did Richard, but one mention of their unborn child and Richard was like a dog on a leash.
"Whatever makes you happy." Richard said with a smile as he strolled out to the back patio. Three minutes later, he was back inside, kissing Paula goodbye.
Richard snuffed out his cigarette and buried his hands into his face.
6:00 Work-
He got up and stood motionless in front of the door, knowing full well that the moment that door opened, he instantly became Dr. Goldsmith, the man who had it all together. Taking a breath, and right on schedule, he stepped out of his quarters precisely at the top of the hour. As always, his assistant was waiting for him right outside the door and their morning dialogue began.
"Good morning, Doctor."
"Good morning, Ms. Maria."
Richard turned down the hall and Maria quickly followed, clipboard in hand. Her high heels clicked and echoed through the halls. Her hair was back in a bun but her bangs swayed in time with each step. She was tan, a surprising sight in Pacifus; her skin hadn't been kissed by the sun's golden rays in two years. Maria was the young and beautiful type. The exact woman Richard's wife would not have wanted anywhere near her husband.
"Give me the overnight updates and go through the agenda for today."
Richard already knew today's schedule forwards and backwards, but his superiors insisted he have a female personal assistant. Any protest from him on that topic was quickly dismissed. Odd for a man who got everything else he ever asked for. Richard didn't care to remember the bumbling excuse they gave; something about inter-department cooperation. Damn government bureaucracy. This was his way of appeasing them and making Maria feel useful at the same time.
"Good news first!" Maria piped over-enthusiastically. "As you know, Doctor, today is Civilian Day! The Deep Capsules were supposed to depart from D.C. this morning at 0:00."
"Supposed to?"
"I said good news first Doctor," Maria's tone was less chipper now. "Allow me to continue. If all is well, the Deep Capsules will land tomorrow at approximately 14:00."
"If all is well?"
Maria ignored this comment and hustled to keep up as Richard quickly rounded a corner. He was always the man everyone else had to catch up to.
"Air and water pressure are steady. Food and Oxygen reserves are full. Oh! - and guess what?!" Maria paused for excitement. "The hourly Glass and Hull Integrity Test's you called for overnight were given a 9.89 out of 10! We can drain the sectors 1-4 of the Surface as soon as you wi—"
Richard interrupted her, "Drain it now."
Maria nodded and continued. "Lastly, by beginning drainage now our calculations say the surface will be fully dry by 9:00, meaning the Hydro-generators, ArtSun, and O2 filters can all be fully operational by 11:00 today."
"Reach out to our engineers. Make it happen." Richard quickly snapped.
"Continuing with our good news, don't forget you have a meeting with Dr. McGraw concerning the situation we had with Chief Engineer Dennison a few days ago. Dennison's remains have been preserved and he has been replaced by his number two Steven A. Polster."
If this was what Maria considered good news, Richard couldn't imagine what the bad news was.
"What is the bad news?"
"The mess hall is serving meatloaf and potatoes for dinner and—" Maria hesitated.
"What is it?" Richard said sternly.
Maria's volume lowered as she shot off the words in rapid percussion "We lost all communication with Dispatch last night at 23:34. We couldn't confirm or deny the departure from D.C. Thomas has been working all night to establish connect. We have yet to make contact but we are confident that—"
"DAMN IT, MARIA!" Richard cursed at her. They could not be dealing with this right now. Female assistants were nothing but trouble! "You should have lead with that. You are supposed to wake me up in the event of an emergency Maria! We need those supplies! Cancel my schedule; this takes number one priority!" He cursed again, turned around, and sprinted down the hall in the opposite direction.

Who's to blame when a teen goes off the rails?
Prosecutors wanted this teenager go to jail for 20 years when four people died as a result of his drunk driving. But a judge has sentenced him to just 10 years of probation instead.
State District Judge Jean Boyd based her decision on the fact that 16-year-old Ethan Couch's rich parents had spoiled him and not taught him about consequences.
Despite his wealth, Ethan and a group of friends stole alcohol from a supermarket during a night out. Ethan was driving at almost double the speed limit with a blood alcohol reading of .24 when he lost control of his pick-up truck and struck and killed four pedestrians as well as injuring two of his own passengers who remain paralyzed.
Youth pastor Brian Jennings; mother and daughter Hollie and Shelby Boyles; and 24-year-old Breanna Mitchell all died in the accident.
But psychologist Gary Miller told the court that the teenager was a tragic product of "affluenza", born to parents who thought money could solve any problem.
Miller testified that Ethan had essentially raised himself as a result of his parents volatile and co-dependent relationship that resulted in a contentious divorce. Their son was used as a pawn in their war against each other.
The psychologist described Ethan's father as someone who "does not have relationships, he takes hostages". Miller said Ethan's mother would use him as a tool to get her husband to act the way she wanted.
"Her mantra was that if it feels good, do it," he added.
As a result, while Ethan's intellectual age was 18, but his emotional age was 12.
"The teen never learned to say that you're sorry if you hurt someone," Miller said. "If you hurt someone, you sent him money."
Ethan was given his first motorcycle when he was 4 or 5 and was driving large utes at 13.
"He had the cars and he had the money. He had freedoms that no young man would be able to handle."
The judge ordered the 16-year-old to receive therapy at a long-term, in-patient facility that charges $450,000 a year, with his parents footing the bill. If he violates the terms of his probation, he could be sent to prison for 10 years.
Eric Boyles, who lost his wife and a daughter in the collision, gave an angry statement outside the courtroom, saying: "Money always seems to keep [the teen] out of trouble. Ultimately today, I felt that money did prevail. If [he] had been any other youth, I feel like the circumstances would have been different."
Who do you think is to blame for Ethan's actions? Should his parents be held to account for not raising their son properly?

The new installment in the long-running Cliff Hardy thrillers
When Cliff Hardy signs on as a bodyguard for charismatic populist Rory O?Hara, who is about to embark on a campaign of social and political renewal, it looks like a tricky job; O?Hara has enemies. Sure enough, a murder and a kidnapping soon cause the campaign to fall apart.
Hired to investigate the murder, Hardy uncovers hidden agendas among O?Hara?s staff and powerful political and commercial forces at work. His investigation takes him from the pubs and brothels of Sydney, to the heart of power in Canberra, and the outskirts of Darwin. There he teams up with a resourceful indigenous private detective and forms an uneasy alliance with the beautiful Penelope Marinos, formerly O?Hara?s PA. A rogue intelligence agent becomes his target and Hardy stumbles upon a terrible secret that draws them into a violent?and disturbing?confrontation.

Dutch Liberal Prime Minister Mark Rutte vowed to form a government quickly Thursday after receiving a solid mandate to battle the eurozone\'s debt crisis at the expense of anti-EU populism. His ruling VVD won Wednesday\'s election with 41 seats, just two more than centre-left rivals Labour, while far-right leader Geert Wilders\' anti-Islam PVV party suffered a humiliating defeat after changing tack to attack Brussels. \"Tomorrow we get to work and the Netherlands must as quickly as possible have a stable cabinet and then I\'ll start working with you so that the Netherlands can emerge stronger from the crisis,\" Rutte told a victory party in The Hague. \"We will not betray your trust,\" Rutte said after his party won the most seats ever, an upset to a European trend that has seen governments toppled around the continent as the debt-crisis bites ever deeper. The victory by Rutte\'s VVD, closely followed by rising Labour star Diederik Samsom\'s PvdA, means that the new coalition will be moderate and marks a victory for parties committed to debt-busting austerity. The vote reflected the Netherlands\' commitment to its enduring relationship with Europe and will keep the eurozone\'s fifth largest economy closely allied with economic powerhouse Germany. \"This is an exceptionally good victory because he (Rutte) is in charge of the biggest party in power,\" Andre Krouwel, political analyst at Amsterdam Free University, said Thursday. \"There are many European countries were leaders have lost elections in the middle of this crisis,\" he said on state broadcaster NOS. If the two main parties agree an alliance, the VVD and Labour would have 80 seats, a majority in the 150-seat parliament but the coalition would likely want more partners. Final results will be announced by the Electoral Commission later Thursday, with coalition-building talks to begin immediately. But it will take weeks if not months for a new government to be agreed. Samsom, a former Greenpeace activist and nuclear physicist, has enjoyed a stellar rise thanks to his success in televised debates, with opinion polls just a month ago predicting his party would win just 15 seats. The more hard-left Socialist Party won 15 seats, as did Wilders\' PVV, a sharp drop from its previous tally of 24, results said with around 98 percent of votes counted. Samsom received a raucous welcome at Amsterdam\'s Paradiso theatre where he was greeted by hundreds of his supporters. \"The Netherlands needs a stable government as soon as possible,\" Samsom said. \"We would like to participate in that government, as long as tonight\'s results can be faithfully represented in the new cabinet\'s programme Wilders, who brought down the last government in April after refusing to approve an austerity-driven budget, is not expected to play any role in this coalition. \"I\'d rather have stood in front of you with good news,\" a visibly shaken Wilders told his party\'s gathering in The Hague, wiping a solitary tear from his eye. \"In Brussels they are having a party... That\'s a pity.\" The PVV vowed to pull out of the euro and the EU itself if they came to power. But many Dutch voters and the political mainstream decided that Wilders was simply unreliable. Fiscally prudent Rutte\'s government has been allied to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, while Samsom\'s calls for stimulus echo those of France\'s Socialist President Francois Hollande. Both parties had lashed out at the EU status quo during campaigning, but the Dutch export-based economy could not afford to call into question membership in the bloc, where it sends 75 percent of its exports. Many Dutch citizens are fed up with bailing out indebted eurozone members while swallowing their own budget cuts, but voters had nevertheless been expected to shun anti-EU parties for the mainstream.

text: Helping those in need in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and the surrounding area to get access to justice Fulham Legal Advice Centre Who we are and what we do… © Fulham Legal Advice Centre Limited 2008. All rights reserved. Published March 2008 Contents Introduction Key services Other services Our team Facts and figures Using our service 2 3 5 6 7 8 Client feedback 'I received an excellent service and I am very grateful for that' 'God bless all those working at Fulham Legal Advice Centre' 'I was extremely satisfied with the service provided. Everyone was extremely helpful! Keep up the good work is all I have to say to your team' 'The quality of legal advice was first rate. Your solicitors and staff are very "on the ball"' 'You are doing an excellent job' Introduction FLAC was founded by a lawyer and a BBC researcher in 1971 and started providing advice in 1972 from 510 Fulham Road, London SW6 (about 200 metres from our current location). To this day, our legal advice is provided by fully qualified lawyers who all volunteer their time. We have a permanent staff, including a welfare benefits adviser and a tribunal representative. Through these staff, we are able to represent a number of people at employment tribunals, disability benefit tribunals and social security appeal hearings. Because our other advisers are volunteers, we are not able to represent our clients in court, but we assist them with drafting the necessary documentation and give them knowledge of procedure to enable them to run their own cases. FLAC provides three legal advice sessions a week. These are free to users. As the sessions are staffed by volunteers (who generally have full-time jobs as lawyers), the sessions start at 6.30pm – this has the advantage that the sessions are more accessible to those in full-time employment. In our experience, many people on an average wage can have very real legal problems but could not justify paying to have a private solicitor to advise them. Our benefits advice work is given during the day by appointment with the client. We also provide some employment law advice in the day time. We believe we provide a valuable service to our local community, evidenced by the number of people who return to seek advice on a range of issues affecting them. Clients are referred to us by a range of other local advisory agencies as well as doctors, the police, the council and their friends who have had a good experience of our service in the past. Some thoughts from our volunteers We asked some of our volunteers why they choose to help FLAC: 'FLAC provides a way for me to make use of my skills to benefit less fortunate members of my local community and it is very satisfying when you see positive changes in clients' lives following your advice.' 'I have advised at FLAC in excess of 30 years and it is readily apparent during this period the public's access to justice has been substantially reduced. Legal Aid or legal assistance via a solicitor is either no longer available for the majority or has been diminished, resulting in many cases FLAC being the last port of call. Please give your support.' 'I have been giving advice for over 20 years. With the gradual decline in publicly funded advice, FLAC now represents the last chance for the most vulnerable people to get the legal advice, help and guidance they so badly need. I shudder to think what would happen to those people if FLAC was not here to help them.' © Fulham Legal Advice Centre Limited 2008. All rights reserved. Published March 2008 Key services Employment Welfare benefits Housing Money / debt Case study Mr G was being paid less than £1.50 per hour and was sacked for requesting a written contract of employment. Through FLAC, Mr G was able to get compensation for the difference between his wages and the Minimum Wage, as well as compensation for unfair dismissal. He is now in new employment with a proper contract and a fair wage. Employment Employment law is increasingly complex and legal aid is not available for representation. We assist our clients to assert their rights where they have been discriminated against for a variety of reasons. We are also able to assist where a dismissal may not be discriminatory but is, nonetheless, unfair. As well as the financial benefits for our clients, there is often a great deal of trauma associated with losing a job and our advice can help people to come to terms with this. In addition to our volunteer lawyers, we have a full-time specialist lawyer who is able to represent a number of our clients in Employment Tribunals. This has been particularly helpful for more complex cases and appeals, where we have had considerable success. Welfare benefits Our work in this area involves advising the neediest members of society. Where benefits are denied completely, our clients can be left destitute. Equally, a denial of disability benefits can leave clients unable to care properly for their medical conditions. Clients in this area can be additionally disadvantaged by mental health issues or not speaking English as a first language which can leave them with difficulty in communicating their case properly to the benefit authorities who determine their eligibility for benefits. By having specialist staff working in this area, we are able to progress cases with the relevant authorities more quickly and, in certain cases, we are also able to attend hearings with clients to advocate on their behalf. © Fulham Legal Advice Centre Limited 2008. All rights reserved. Published March 2008 Case study Ms N was forced to give up running her own business when she became seriously ill and unable to work. After a forced sale of stock and equipment, she was left with significant debts which she could not pay with her benefit entitlements. Her illness was made worse by the stress of constant demands from her creditors which were impossible for her to meet. We advised her on the process and implications of bankruptcy. She is now debt-free. Key services Employment Welfare benefits Housing Money / debt Housing We advise large numbers of people living in social housing who face a range of issues, some of which affect their physical and/or mental health. These include lack of repairs, unsuitable accommodation for the disabled, nuisance neighbours, overcrowding and rent arrears. We help our clients communicate with their landlord (council or housing association) to try to reach a consensual settlement or solution. Where this is not possible within a reasonable timescale, we will assist our clients to take court action in order that they can have somewhere suitable to live. We also help to prevent repossession of our clients' homes and/or eviction. In these cases, financial compensation can be less important to clients than having a home where they can feel happy and safe. Money / debt The increasing levels of personal borrowing in the UK and the difficulties of accessing credit following recent market turmoil have been well publicised. A change in circumstances, such as relationship breakdown or loss of job through ill health or redundancy, can lead to people suddenly being unable to keep up the repayments on their debts. Many people try to ignore their problems or compound their difficulties by using very high interest borrowing. We establish the true extent of our clients' debts and discuss with them how best to sort out their problems. This includes bankruptcy (particularly for clients in rented accommodation) and reaching a negotiated settlement which provides for a fair and manageable payment to all their creditors. These settlements allow clients to repay as much money as is realistically possible to their creditors. © Fulham Legal Advice Centre Limited 2008. All rights reserved. Published March 2008 Other services Consumer / contract Crime / road traffic Family Insurance Landlord and tenant Personal injury Wills and probate Case studies Mr & Mrs A made a claim to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority following the murder of their son. Their application was refused. We liaised with the police involved in the murder trial, who thought the family were 'highly deserving' and wrote to the CICA. The CICA reviewed the case and agreed to put it before a new panel. Ms E bought a bed from a well-known retailer which was infested with bed bugs. The retailer refused a refund, but with our help Ms E got all of her money back. General legal advice We provide people in need with access to a qualified lawyer to discuss almost any problem they may be facing in their life. The only exception is immigration, where we refer clients to other specialist agencies. Consumer / Contract: We are able to provide practical advice on disputes over faulty goods, poor workmanship and other consumer claims. The intervention of an advice agency can help to get commercial organisations to pay proper attention to disputes, rather than leaving them to a process that may not address our client's real issue. Crime / road traffic: Our crime work is limited and mainly consists of advising people regarding motoring offences and parking/congestion charge infringements. Included in this area is helping the victims of crime to seek compensation for their injuries from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. Family: Advice is given to anyone affected by difficulties in a partnership, including separation and divorce. We can also refer clients to other agencies to assist them in finding a holistic solution to the issues they are facing. Insurance: Clients are understandably upset if, following a loss, they are told they are not, in fact, covered by their insurance. We help people to obtain realistic settlements from their insurers where there is a valid claim. Landlord and tenant: Tenants can face many problems with private sector landlords, ranging from difficulties in getting deposits back at the end of a lease, through a failure to mend the boiler, up to illegal threats of eviction. We advise and assist people to help them get fair treatment. Personal injury: When people are injured in accidents, whether on the road, at work, or elsewhere, we are able to help them get compensation for their suffering and financial loss. Wills and probate: We are able to assist the bereaved in dealing with the affairs of their deceased relatives, whether or not there is a will. We can also help people to draw up their own will. © Fulham Legal Advice Centre Limited 2008. All rights reserved.

Staff Pam Donohue, Manager Jordana Adams Shelley Joseph Jo Donohue Management Committee Garrett Byrne Guy Enright Pam Donohue Volunteers FLAC has a team of approximately 30 advisers and interviewers. The interviewers gather initial details of the issues facing clients and ensure they are properly informed of how FLAC works. Our advisers have all qualified as solicitors or barristers. All members of the management committee volunteer their time for free. Most are active legal advisers at FLAC. We estimate that the time given by our volunteer advisers in helping clients would cost around £300,000 a year if paid for at local solicitors' rates.

Published March 2008 Facts and figures FLAC has two principal funders – the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and the Legal Services Commission. Dr Edwards & Bishop King's Fulham Charity have supported FLAC with an annual running costs grant for many years. As well as these funders, we are increasingly reliant on the generosity of other donors, including clients, charitable foundations and others to ensure we have enough money each year. Who do we help? Where does the money go? During 2006, our client base was made up as follows: • 51% female / 49% male; • 14% disabled; • 31% aged over 50; • 30% unemployed; • Our clients spoke 33 first languages.

The Legal Services Commission has recently changed the way in which they fund us and many other advice agencies. This may well increase our need to raise money from other sources. We are committed to raising the funding needed to run FLAC. The service is highly valued by the local community. The local council gave us a glowing report as part of their recent funding review.

3 inmates hurt during failed prison escape - CNN.comThey don't mess around.(CNN) -- Three inmates were shot and wounded by guards Friday during an escape attempt at a Livingston, Texas, prison, officials said.
The incident started about 9 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) when inmates were leaving a church service at a gymnasium in the prison, said Jason Clark, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
While walking back from the church service, five inmates jumped an interior fence in an attempt to flee, officials said.
Guards opened fire, wounding three of the inmates. All five were captured and the wounded inmates were taken to a hospital, Clark said.

Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed"
I'm not sure this is really a "fleeing felon" situation. First off, they are in prison so the laws that might apply to "us" probably aren't applicable. Second, I'm not sure they are felons (although maybe trying to escape from prison is a felony).
I have no idea what the laws might be in this case. It does seem reasonable to assume they would be dangerous if they had actually escaped so maybe that is the rationale for shooting. I sure don't feel any sympathy for them.
Why have guard towers and armed guards if they can not shoot to stop a prison break.

They should be shot when attempting escape. They should be shot in the yards when they fight.
I have no problem with this.
"Don't Tread on Me"
These guys are in a Texas prison. In Texas, one can shoot after sundown when a dirtbag is in the backyard...duh! Now these guy are in the 'backyard' (so to speak) of a prison...ya' think someone is going to shoot?
Actually, this would help cut the prison's food budget for the following month.

Brutal: Paws of Fury
Brutal: Paws of Fury is a fighting game containing anthropomorphic characters. It was published by GameTek in 1994. Brutal: Paws of Fury was published for the Sega CD, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, PC, Amiga, and Amiga CD32. An enhanced version, Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw, was made for MS-DOS and the Sega 32X in 1995; in 2000, a fan remake, Brutal Remix, was released.
The storyline in Brutal: Paws of Fury was typical for a fighting game of its time: Under the watchful eyes of the malicious Dali Llama, fighters come to Brutal Island to battle for fame, prize money, and recognition.
Chung Poe: A male mole whose martial art is sabbbaal. Unique to Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw.
Dali Llama: He is evil, a llama, and his martial art is "divine"; that is about all that is known about Dali Llama.
Foxy Roxy: The only female fighter in the series, Foxy Roxy is a fox who is a master of Penjak Silat. She was also notable in that only her backstory indicated her 'real world' name (Idhra Prashmet). Additionally, her story indicated that she had human parents. She wants to use the prize money from the tournament to help children in her home of India.
Ivan the Bear: Performing the roles of both the strong guy and little guy, this bear is nothing more than a brawler and a soldier -- a very strong brawler and soldier.
Karate Croc: Although he knows karate and is a crocodile, even less is known about Karate Croc than is known about Dali Llama. Unavailable in the SNES and Sega Genesis versions of Brutal: Paws of Fury.
Kendo Coyote: Student of Tai Cheetah, already well-versed in kenjutsu, Kendo Coyote was a playboy until Tai came into his life. While Kendo is still a bon vivant, and less serious about his studies than Tai would like, Tai believes Kendo will be the one to pass on his legacy.
Kung-Fu Bunny: After spending over a decade in a Shaolin temple, Kung-Fu Bunny became a master of his martial art. It is unknown why he is in the tournament; he has no connection to the others. His martial art is relaxed paw kung-fu.
Prince Leon of Kenya: An African lion, Prince Leon entered the tournament to avenge an insult upon him by Kendo and Tai. One of Leon's signature moves, and one of the few ranged attacks in the series, involves him playing a guitar; by summoning speakers to him, he assails opponents with a wall of sound. Leon's other ranged move is a roar.
Pantha: Very similar to Dali Llama in fighting style, Pantha is a cloaked demonic panther. His martial art is Chin Na. Unavailable in the SNES and Sega Genesis versions of Brutal: Paws of Fury.
Psycho Kitty: Psycho Kitty is a cat who fights mostly because he loves to fight. "Cat fight" is his martial art. Unique to Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw.
Rhei Rat: Rhei Rat is the most self-centered of the fighters to be involved in the tournament, being a master of Thai kickboxing who wants a cross-discipline challenge. His sole goal is to live well off of the tournament's prize money.
Tai Cheetah: Although a hermit for most of his life, Tai Cheetah finally struck out to find someone worthy enough to pass his knowledge onto. Instead, he found Kendo Coyote. His martial art is tai chi.
The gameplay is generally inspired by Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, but with a twist: Players begin with only 'basic' moves (movement, three attack types, grapple), and characters have to 'learn' new moves during the single player mode. Every two opponents the player defeats, he or she will go to an intermission arena to learn a new technique (the first is a taunt that recovers their character's health, followed by a special move in subsequent revisits). By the time the player has fought all the way to the final boss (Dali Llama), he or she may have the character's full repertoire of moves.
Gameplay varied between the various versions. In the SNES version, characters did not need to 'learn' special moves to use them in one player mode (though the player is instructed on how to perform them). The Sega CD version featured superior sound and animated cutscenes, as well as an 'outtakes' section featuring deleted characters and early animation tests. The PC version did away with the 'belt' system entirely. The Sega 32X version upped the speed, but also tightened the controls.
Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw[edit]
Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw (often shortened to Brutal Unleashed) was an expansion of the original Brutal: Paws of Fury for MS-DOS and the Sega 32X. As well as improvements in timing and notable improvements in sound, two new characters (Psycho Kitty and Chung Poe) were added to the roster, additional arenas were introduced (Beach, Bridge, Pass/The Ridge, The Point, The Volcano, and The Swamp), and all of the characters from the previous game were made playable by default.
A version of Brutal Unleashed was in production for the Atari Jaguar, but that version was cancelled when the system was discontinued.
Brutal Remix[edit]
In 2000, a version of Brutal for the MUGEN game development system was created. Several features (many taken from Marvel Vs. Capcom) were added, including team battles, special moves, custom counters, enhanced attack graphics, and in general, raising its quality to that of a Dreamcast game.
Although these versions of the characters can no longer be found, copies of the original Brutal: Paws of Fury characters are available from various sites.
((EDIT:)) The characters CAN BE FOUND here: http://brutal.harmlesslion.com/

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The LEGO Movie' Constructs a Big Opening
And here we are: five weeks into the new year and we already have our first major blockbuster of 2014. Early estimates had 'The LEGO Movie' opening big, but the animated adventure shattered all expectations this weekend, with universally positive reviews and word of mouth sending the film to a massive opening.
'SNL': Leonardo DiCaprio Crashes Jonah Hill's Opening Monologue
When Jonah Hill graced the 'SNL' stage last night, he wasn't just a very funny comic actor -- he was a two-time Oscar nominated thespian with Very Important Things to say. The only problem is that no one cared about Hill. They only cared about his 'The Wolf of Wall Street' co-star Leonardo DiCaprio and all of the cast members strategically placed in the audience made sure to let him know this.
If you think this opening monologue set-up is just an excuse to get Mr. DiCaprio himself to show up for a brief but unforgettable appearance ... you're right.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Best Man Holiday' Stands Toe-to-Toe With 'Thor: The Dark World'
If there's one thing that we're reminded of a few times a year here at the Weekend Box Office Report, it's that films targeted at black audiences are always ignored by many mainstream movie websites ... until they open huge at the box office. 'The Best Man Holiday' is the latest film to prove that there's an entire group of moviegoers who aren't being given the films they obviously want to see, and hopefully its success will spur Hollywood into action, allowing for the production of more movies with black casts and filmmakers. Maybe. This is Hollywood, after all.

After months of boycott talk and constant controversy, the long in the works adaptation of Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' opened at number one at the box office with decent but not spectacular numbers. It's a long road to profitability, but hey, this is a start.
Weekend Box Office: 'Gravity' Dominates 'Carrie,' 'Escape Plan' and 'The Fifth Estate'
For the third weekend in a row, 'Gravity' dominated the box office, taking no prisoners in its quest to become one of 2013's most deserving blockbusters. However, its tremendous success has been at the expense of a handful of other films, which have been crushed in Alfonso Cuaron's titanic wake.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Gravity' Holds On, 'Captain Phillips' Launches and 'Machete' Doesn't Kill
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Insidious Chapter 2′ Has a Terrifyingly Huge Opening
James Wan has done it again. For the second time this year, a horror film that he's directed has opened to over $40 million, securing his position as the reigning king of mainstream horror cinema. He may be taking a break from the genre to direct 'Fast and Furious 7,' but after the jaw-dropping success of 'The Conjuring' and now 'Insidious Chapter 2,' you just know he'll be back. No one is bringing the audiences in quite like Wan.
Oh, and there were some other movies that made some money, too.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Riddick' Wins an Unimpressive Weekend
One of the things 'Riddick' has going for it is that it didn't cost too much. So while its opening weekend may be a little less than impressive, it doesn't have that far to go to make a profit. It's little victories like this that make this, one of the slowest most stagnant movie weekends of the year, more palatable.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'One Direction: This is Us' Takes the Lead
The summer is over and September is upon us. The result? One of the most boring weekend box office reports in months. Months! The month or so following the end of the summer movie season is traditionally one of the worst of the year, the time when Hollywood unleashes all of the films that they have little faith in, a buffer between the blockbuster months and the award season months. In other words, it's the exact kind of climate where a movie like 'One Direction: This is Us' can thrive.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'You're Next' and 'The World's End' Get Served by 'The Butler'
Despite a bunch of new releases with all kinds of wide and varied appeal, this weekend's box office top 10 looks suspiciously like last week's. Apparently, none of the newcomers could match Lee Daniels' 'The Butler,' which effortlessly claimed the top spot once more.

Jesus, Continued - Identity Part 1 (1 of 16) by Dave Gustavsen
This content is part of a series.Jesus, Continued - Identity Part 1 (1 of 16)
Series: Acts
Dave Gustavsen
Acts 1:1-11
So, after Jesus rose from the dead…what happens next?
Most of you were probably in church last week, right? Easter Sunday? (Did anybody miss church on Easter? Anyone sleep in on Easter? You'd never admit it!). And I would say that most of you sat in church on Easter, and you were reminded about the resurrection of Christ, and inwardly, you said, ''Yes! I believe that!'' So you have this inner belief.
But for some of you there's this disconnect. Because you look at your life, and if you're brutally honest, there's not much outward evidence of that inner faith. I mean, if you're really honest. And for some of you, that disconnect has been going on for years! And maybe you have faithfully attended church, but it's like there's something that's blocking your faith from coming out and just defining who you are!
And here's the thing: if the resurrection of Christ is true-and it is!-it should change everything. And it can! And it will…if you'll let him!
You know what I heard several people say last month? It was right after the floods, and these were people who had stepped up and they went into flood-damaged homes, and they served in the name of Christ. And several people told me that was a life-changing experience, because their outward actions matched up with their inner faith. And for some of those people, that touched something deep inside, because they know that's how we're meant to live. And they want more of that.
And guys, the timing is perfect! Because we're starting a brand new study today on all three campuses of Jacksonville Chapel. And we're going to study the book of Acts. And Acts is basically the story of what happened when a group of people believed in the resurrection of Christ, and they allowed their actions to flow out of their faith. And this is historical; it's biographical; it's dramatic; and it will be highly personal if you allow it ...

Fetch! Pet Care of NWLV [view the full listing]
Fetch is the best...
Tina and I love Fetch Pet Care! They know how shy I can be when my Mom is not home. They don't force me to go for a walk if I am worried and don't want to go right now. They will hang out with me and play for a while and just take Tina out for a walk (she's always up for going outside). My Mom is a dog trainer and very particular about the other services she recommends to her clients. She always refers Fetch though. If you want to get her personal opinion about Fetch, you can call her at Bark Busters Home Dog Training at 702-257-BARK. She will be happy to give you the scoop!

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except my own creations.
The big Christmas ball was to be held at Randalls on Christmas Eve, but an intimate dinner party was held two nights prior for a select few at Hartfield. John Knightley and family, Westons, Churchills, Bates, Eltons and Mr Woodhouse were in attendance.
A glowing seven month pregnant Mrs Emma Knightley was the epitome of the perfect hostess. She mingled between parties making sparkling conversation and welcomed each personally at the door.
But, if you were watching carefully enough, you would see the little touches Emma and Knightley exchanged throughout the evening – a lightly pressed hand against a side in passing, a pressure on a neck, or the squeeze of an arm. Not to mention the glances and meaningful gazes between the two.
These small motions were noted by Mrs Elton that evening. In a rare moment of non-self-absorbment she took it upon herself to see how the Knightley marriage was progressing – using all of her knowledge and expertise gleaned from her own very successful marriage to Mr E.
She saw the glances and the touches, and even worse, a rule-breaking private moment between the two when Mr Knightley led his pregnant wife to a dimly lit corner, seating them both before he took her hand.
Nothing was so scandalous as what he did next.
With complete disregard for all those around him, Mr Knightley leaned in to give his wife a kiss as her hand cupped his cheek. They parted, and his hand brushed where their child grew. They rested their foreheads against each others for a moment, before Knightley got to his feet, helped his wife to hers and they joined their guests once again.
The entire spectacle took less than a minute, but Augusta swore that that moment, that behaviour not befitting of proper society, would stay with her for life. In reality, her indignation lasted a grand total of three minutes before her eyes fell upon her next targets: Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill.
Now that was a good match. Yes indeed.

Not new to sailing, but new to sailing in shallow water! Seattle is home, Houston is current residence. We just bought our first boat here - Cal 25-2. Looking forward to being on the water, but still cleaning up the boat and getting it outfitted to our comforts. Won't be long now though, and we'll be out on Galveston Bay.
Welcome aboard knormb, Sailnet has a lot of knowledgeable people and there is a bit of fun.
Welcome aboard knormb:
I am new here myself, although not new to sailing. I have been lurking and reading the different posts and all I can say is WOW! There are many fine folks here and the knowledge base is enormous! It would appear that whatever you need to know, someone here has the answer. Or at least can point you in the right direction.
So don't be a stranger, jump on in!
Welcome to Sailnet and best of luck with the Cal. Ditto to you plane.
Hi Knormb,
Texas here too. That Galveston Bay is fine sailing. Clearlake is such a nice Marina. We are looking at buying a little vacation house on Matagorda Bay. If we do, I want to move my boat. Welcome to you and yours.
Welcome to the forum and the gulf coast from Mobile, Al
Welcome aboard. Yes,shallow water, but still lots of room to sail. Plus, come October, you have the Harvest Moon Regatta. Where are you keeping your boat down there?

StudyLab Boarding Schools Fair
The StudyLab Boarding Schools Fair is a special 2-day event, which connects prestigious boarding schools with Russian families, looking for selective schools abroad: in the UK, USA and Europe. The Fair takes place on the weekend September 27-28, 2014, at 5* Ararat Park Hyatt, an up-scale venue in the heart of Moscow, a short walk from Red Square and The Bolshoi Theatre. 24 boarding schools are going to take part at the Fair, each individually handpicked to ensure "a perfect match" between Russian families' expectations and programs offered.
Around 400 families, attending the StudyLab Boarding Schools Fair, are applying for academic year starting in 2015, 2016 and 2017, at senior schools (75%) and junior schools (25%, but growing extensively). Families attend the StudyLab Boarding Schools Fair to make a final decision of the school and the program.
The majority of the attendants are well aware of StudyLab's activities: they attend our events and fairs, or are members of our British School in Moscow, have regular classes with our tutors, and receive StudyLab info letters on a weekly basis.

Marketing materials, brochures, photo and video support, press coverage and wireless Internet connection are also provided.
2 days of 1-to-1 meetings with 400 families
The Fair guarantees a steady flow of students to your stand
At the Fair, our managers council the majority of the public who need initial advice on a school or a program, and they refer people to those schools' stands, which are likely to become a good match for a student. Therefore, even if your school name is not very well known in the Russian market yet, our managers will provide steady traffic to your school's stand for the whole 2 days of the fair.
The Fair guarantees an utterly high quality audience
StudyLab Fairs are known for attracting well-established clients in Russia: academically strong, open for additional products (summer semester, ESL course, academic semester), and chasing prestigious schools with even more prestigious matriculation opportunities.

around 2020. They're calling it the "Speed Agile."
The Air Force is looking for a new transport aircraft that's fast, agile, easy to fly, and capable of operating from short, improvised airfields, all while carrying larger and heavier payloads than the current generation of cargo aircraft can. To make all of these things happen at the same time calls for a radically new aircraft design, which is exactly what we're seeing with this 23% scale demonstrator that Lockheed Martin has been testing out in a NASA wind tunnel.
It's all pretty hush-hush still, but we do know that both Boeing and Northrop Grumman are also working on Speed Agile concepts of their own, and we've got some pics of those in the gallery below.
